Thank God the Congressional Super Committee failed to reach an agreement.
It was a bad idea in the first place, and Obama and the Democrats should never have pushed it.
It focused too much attention on deficits, which aren't the biggest problem we're facing right now. High unemployment is the real crisis, and the more obsessed we all are with deficits, the less room there is to address unemployment.
The Super Committee also was a bad idea procedurally as it bypassed the usual way Congress makes laws. In this sense, it was an end around democracy.
And that was intentional because the vast majority of the American public wasn't in favor of the one item that both parties and Obama seemed prepared to agree on—and that was monkeying with the way the cost of living adjustment is calculated for Social Security.
This so-called technical change would have cost the elderly and the disabled several hundred dollars a year in the short term, and $1,400 a year after a decade or so.
Not surprisingly, 72 percent of the American public opposed this change, according to a new poll by Celinda Lake, including 70 percent of Republicans.
The Democrats should learn something from this: Don't touch Social Security. Leave that to the likes of Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich.

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

"The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is... legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay ... If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system." ~ Frederic Bastiat

Tenowo Lincolnton to add 26 jobs in $7.2M expansion
- Ken Elkins
- Senior Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Tenowo Lincolnton Inc. plans to add 26 jobs and spend $7.2 million to expand the nonwoven textile production at the Lincoln County plant.
In exchange, the company, formerly known as HOF Textiles Inc., will get a $50,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
The average annual wage for the new jobs is $32,538, plus benefits. That compares to an average salary of $31,252 a year in Lincoln County. The plant currently employs 67.
"The expansion will allow Tenowo to double the capacity for high engineered nonwoven products for the North American automotive industry," says Lothar Hackler, president of Tenowo Inc.
State Rep. Jason Saine of Lincolnton says the Tenowo expansion "further strengthens our reputation" as a leader in nonwovens.
It's the second expansion at the facility in recent years. In 2010, the company spent about $2.3 million for new equipment there.
Tenowo is a subsidiary of Hoftex Group AG of Germany.
Ken Elkins covers manufacturing, international business and economic development for the Charlotte Business Journal.

Mail on Sunday 'refutes' hacking claim
The Mail on Sunday newspaper tonight "utterly refuted" a suggestion that it had hacked the phone of actor Hugh Grant.
Bosses issued a denial after Mr Grant had told the Leveson Inquiry of his suspicions about a story published four years ago.
A spokesman for the newspaper said information had come from a freelance journalist who had spoken to a "source".
Mr Grant told Lord Justice Leveson about the "bizarre, left field" story and said he would "love to hear the (Mail on Sunday's) explanation".
He said he had not made the allegation in public before but said he had been preparing documents and going through his "trials and tribulations" when the "penny dropped".
Mr Grant said the story claimed that his relationship with then girlfriend Jemima Khan was on the rocks because of his "late night phone calls with a plummy-voiced studio executive".
He said the story was untrue and he had not been able to think "for the life of me" what the source of the story could be.
The only explanation he could think of was that messages had been left on his phone by an executive's assistant, who had a voice which could be described as "plummy".
"I was preparing these statements, going through these trials and tribulations," he said. "Then the penny dropped."
He added: "I would love to hear what the (Mail on Sunday's) explanation of that is, if it wasn't phone hacking."
The newspaper's spokesman said: "The Mail on Sunday utterly refutes Hugh Grant's claim that they got any story as a result of phone hacking.
"In fact in the case of the story Mr Grant refers to, the information came from a freelance journalist who had been told by a source who was regularly speaking to Jemima Khan."
In April 2007, Mr Grant accepted undisclosed libel damages over claims that his relationship with Ms Khan was destroyed by a flirtation with a film executive - and his conduct over Liz Hurley's wedding.
The settlement of Mr Grant's legal actions over articles in the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail in February 2007 was announced at the High Court in London.
Mr Grant's solicitor, Simon Smith, told Mr Justice Gray that the damages would be donated to the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity.
He said the first article - Hugh, Drew and the Jealousy of Jemima - alleged that Grant, while in a relationship with Ms Khan, was conducting a flirtation with a female senior Warner Bros executive.
Mr Smith said Mr Grant did not know of a woman from Warner Bros matching this description, let alone that he was conducting a flirtation with her. As far as he was aware, she simply did not exist.
After that hearing, Mr Grant said in a statement: "I took this action because I was tired of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday papers publishing almost entirely fictional articles about my private life for their own financial gain.
"I'm also hoping that this statement in court might remind people that the so-called 'close friends' or 'close sources' on which these stories claim to be based almost never exist."
Grant said he experienced further press intrusion over his relationship with Chinese actress Tinglan Hong, who recently gave birth to his daughter.
The News of the World published a front-page story headlined "Hugh's Secret Girl" in April which featured pictures taken with a telephoto lens without the couple's knowledge, the inquiry heard.
Grant said he visited Ms Hong in hospital in London the day after the baby was born in late September.
He told the hearing: "I had been very reluctant to be present at the birth because of the danger of a leak from the hospital bringing this press storm down on the mother of my child and what was about to be my child.
"So I had actually made a plan with the mother not to visit at all but to visit when she got home from hospital a few days later.
"She was very happy with that plan. She had her parents there and she had my female cousins there.
"But actually on the day after the birth I couldn't resist a quick visit. I thought I was going to try and get away with it. I went, had a look, it was very nice.
"But the day after that, I think it was, the phone calls started, from the Daily Mail in this case, saying 'We know about Tinglan having had the baby, we know about Hugh having visited, we know what name she checked in under, we're going to write this story'.
"So all my fears about the leak seemed to have been justified."
The inquiry heard that the Daily Mail did not run an article about the birth of Grant's child until the story was broken by an American magazine.
But Grant said: "I think the reason they didn't publish it was because they would not have looked good to have published it merely on leaked information from a hospital, which is unethical."
A spokesman for the Daily Mail said: "The Daily Mail unequivocally denies Hugh Grant's allegation that it secured information about the birth of his child from a source at the hospital.
"In fact the information came from a source in his showbusiness circle more than two weeks after the birth.
"We then spent a further two weeks seeking a response to the story from his publicists.
"None was forthcoming and indeed we did not publish anything until Grant's publicist issued a statement describing the baby as the product of a 'fleeting affair'. Throughout, the Mail behaved with total journalistic propriety."

The military slogan 'Train Hard, Fight Easy' is more than just rhetoric – as the latest deaths show
As long as men and women are put through the forge in preparation for war, the drive towards realistic training will exact a toll in blood
Military training holds a distinct place in modern folklore and Special Forces training even more so. The fundamental goal of training is to take a normal fellow and turn him (or, indeed, her) into a particular kind of end product.
The aim is to prepare a given subject, through a sophisticated (though superficially brutal) process of social engineering, to give his all in the face of adversity, discomfort and the enemy. He or she will be re-bored that he might run and fight and operate far beyond the expected limits of normal society or until he can run no more - whichever comes first and in any environment.
The Brecon Beacons, a place where most service-people will spend at least some time, is a rough gig for ramblers, let alone potential SAS recruits. In winter, it has a tendency to throw everything it has at you. In summer its barren face, devoid of any kind of shade, carries an altogether different set of stresses.
A man navigating and running hard under the burden of a rifle and bergen (heavy backpack) while absolutely committed to passing a given course and carrying limited water might be expected to not drink enough. But the environment itself, and the requirements one's own body, are less forgiving masters.
The deaths of two soldiers, and the hospitalization of another, while apparently engaged in the selection course for Special Forces reserves in the rugged Brecon Beacons, brings home an oft-obscured reality. The aged maxim 'Train Hard, Fight Easy' is more than a rhetoric, and in fact reflects the arduousness inherent to preparing soldiers for war.
There can be no doubt that DS (Directing Staff) - the trainers who organize and monitor these kinds of courses - aim for the highest standards of safety. No service-person wants a death on their conscience in war let alone on a training exercise, and they certainly would aim to avoid the spectre of liability with its potential to stunt careers.
The reality is that as long as men and women are put through the forge in preparation for war, the most extreme and contrived of human activities, the drive towards realistic training will exact a toll in blood.
Even the endless list of hero books on our shelves tend not to scrimp on incidents of this type. The military memoirs of Colonel Tim Collins of Iraq fame, former Royal Marine Duncan Falconer and the soldier still publicly known as Andy McNab all highlight the dangers of the harsh preparation and selection for combat - be it in live-firing training incidents, heat injury (as seems to have been the case in Wales this week), or accidental falls during challenging training on a mountainside.
Deaths in training are no new thing, and as long as we pursue conflict and maintain armies for that end, this less publicised kind of tragedy will continue in the name of wars far away from these shores.

Tulip Cottage
Martin Howard
Painting - Oil On Daler Board
I painted this many years ago when I was still in my teens. Maybe that's why I never appreciated it. Now when I look at it, I absolutely love it. I have only ever finished about five oil paintings in my life (I started many more). I'm so glad that this is one of the ones I persevered with. When I finally uploaded this painting to the Internet, I was quite surprised at how much detail I had managed to put in. The garden is done in a very impressionist style and it's difficult to make out what the plants are, although I do like the way it came out. Obviously the foreground plants are tulips, which leads me to believe that this cottage is actually in Holland. Where I used more detail, is in the cottage itself. I particularly like the window on the far right, where I have even painted something standing inside.

The Book of Knowledge - Near perfect,
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
BJ Penn is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound mixed martial artists in the world. If you watch one of his fights, you will quickly discover that he is a force to be reckoned with. He is currently Lightweight Champion of the UFC and is amongst the top contenders in the Welterweight division. He has a solid ground game, unnatural balance and crisp striking skills - a true well-rounded fighter.
So what do you get when a fighter of his calibre writes a book? A vital asset to any practitioner that's what. The book starts with an entertaining foreword that acts as a nice introduction to Penn's fighting career. He also puts you into the right mentality with the training + drills sections. From there onwards it moves towards the many techniques listed within the book. The book is clearly split into appropriate sections in a logical order. Stand-up to clinch to ground. The techniques are given a brief write up which is accompanied by pictures from multiple camera angles and easy-to-follow captions. This is especially useful for any submissions novice, as some techniques could be made difficult to learn from just one camera angle. All techniques within this book provide a wealth of information on the basics of MMA. However, if you are considering a move into MMA this book alone is unlikely to lead you to successful career. It only covers the basic techniques from every field. I used this book as a teaching tool at my MMA class; newcomers can easily follow the instructions and it allows them to gradually improve all aspects of their game whilst providing tips here and there. At the start of each section there is an introduction and the `DO's' and `DON'Ts' list make for a very informative read. PROS- Covers a wide variety of techniques Multiple camera angles Effective instructional captions Can set the foundation of a mixed martial artist to be CONS- Techniques from every aspect (striking, clinch work, throws and submissions) are very basic. The ground-game section for example covers the basic submissions such as RNC, guillotine choke, arms bar, kimura, americana, omaplata and triangle choke. Any experienced BJJ/Judo guys buying this book may want to consider an additional purchase if they wish to advance their own ground game. The same goes for any strikers out there - there are limited striking techniques, little to none on kicks. This is why one star is deducted. In conclusion, this is an excellent book and it provides many of the most effective techniques used to by champions today. It sets the tone for any amateur and anyone who is interesting in the ever-growing sport of mixed martial arts. This book is indeed a book of priceless knowledge and a must buy (unless you wanna get TKO'ed by some basic technique).

Setting the standard,
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
Anyone who has seen BJ fight knows what crazy skills he has. He's unorthodox with a complete skill set that we all aspire to.
This book goes some way to explaining what he does and how he does it. If you think this book will get you anywhere near his level then you'll need some amazing natural ability of your own. What this book does offer is a solid foundation in training for modern mma. It covers every area the fight could take place, standing, against the cage, in the guard, you name it he's covered it. There are countless techniques covered from real basics to more advanced counters to the previously shown techniques. One of the great points of the book is that where needed 2 camera angles are used for the techniques. It might seem obvious that such a simple thing makes the techniques so much easier to understand but it's not always used in these type of books. This alone takes the guess work out of positions so you can really understand what he is showing. Although BJ's background is BJJ this is not a BJJ book, he works on the principle you should stick at what you're good at. So if you are a striker that's your first line of attack, if that fails then you grapple. If you've spent years mastering an art only to be told not to use it in a book that book is quickly discarded. So whatever your number one skill set is this book teaches you to how to make better use of it while giving you a great plan B should you need it. Awaiting Randy's book now to see if he can deleiver the same standard as BJ.

Knowledge is Power,
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
I had high expectations for this book and it didn't fail to deliver. Penn and Kraus have put a great deal of thought into this book. It is well structured and all the major topics (Stand Up, Clinch & Ground) are well covered. Penn describes his MMA game in this book, and the layout makes it very easy to navigate and find what you are looking for.
The striking section in itself was not my favourite as only the basic strikes are covered in this section. But if you look throughout the book as whole then you will see that Penn has covered striking from every position imaginable. The only other thing I would say about the striking is that kicking is not covered in this book at all. But that said, how many times do you see BJ throw a kick in a fight? My favourite section of this book however has to be the ground game one. I would have bought this book solely for that section. It covers BJJ for the MMA game fantastically. What makes it so good is that unlike a lot of other books, the ground section is aimed at MMA specifically. You don't get your sport JJ stuff here but as always the fundamentals can be transferred. Penn and Kraus have set the standard by which all future MMA instuctional books will be measured and truth be told, they have set the bar quite high.

Makes the Boring Bits Interesting,
By Adorno (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
The other reviewers have looked at this as a book for training but I can recommend this for anyone who follows MMA moderately seriously. What I found most helpful was the way that Penn and his co-authors work through what the casual fan sees as the "boring bits" when there are no fists, knees, elbows or feet flying around. At the end I really felt that I had a much better understanding of what was going on when fighters are against the cage or the importance of the struggle for position and posture on the ground - you begin to see a lot of technique at work where before you only saw two blokes leaning against a fence.
It's worth mentioning that for a book that is mostly pictures this is quite a serious read. You really need to pay attention to make sense of the techniques but you are rewarded with a much deeper understanding of what is going on.

Great For Mixed Martial Arts,
By Sterling (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
Although this book is very good, it is a comprehensive guide to Mixed Martial Arts as a discipline rather than a complete book of all martial arts techniques required for MMA. The information on striking, submissions and wrestling is quite basic and elaborate detail on the execution of techniques isn't brilliant, but the book assumes you have knowledge of submissions, strikes and wrestling and the real gem of information is on applying this to MMA, i.e. how to utilise the fence for takedowns, how to use boxing combos to setup a takedown, and how to use striking to defend against submissions, (as opposed to straight grappling), using a thai clinch to escape wrestling style pummelling etc. In this sense, this book is genuinely a wealth of knowledge, and fantastically displays the application of muay thai, boxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling to MMA, with a heavy focus on the almalgamation of multiple disciplines to suceed in MMA. However, I would advise against purchasing this book for a comprehensive guide to all areas of MMA, some information on striking leaves out important nuances, and the same goes for submissions (a specific striking/grappling etc. book would be better for this), but as aforementioned, the focus of the book is on mixed martial arts strategies and techniques specifically, and in this sense, 'Mixed Martial Arts: Book of Knowledge' is in no way a misleading title.

Probably the best book of its kind out there,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
A manual like this will never take the place of hands on tuition or practice.
even though it has a fair bit of info it still covers very basic techniques. some what i consider basic techniques are not even in there (for example applying a guillotine after a take down attempt). I say it is most usefull when talking about the transitions from striking to grappling & vice versa. Nice bit of backstory on BJ Penn also. However if your new to MMA then get it, when your not training pour through the contents & try to envision what might be usefull to you or the little nuances of the techniques that you dont seem to get quite right then try drilling them with a compliant partner.
5.0 out of 5 stars
one word - awesome!,
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
Quite simply this book is the bible when it comes to MMA. Well written and brilliantly put together its full of high percentage techniques that work.
It wont turn you into a world champ by itself, only you can do that. But it gives you some excellent building blocks and a great basis for you to start drilling, learning and perfecting. My one criticism (if you can call it that) is that id have liked to have seen a stretching section to have some idea of what BJ does to get that insane flexibility !!!

This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
I found this book very useful it covers all the techniques u need for mma in detail and every page includes numerous colour photos from all angles. It means you can easily grasp and clearly see the techniques demonstrated.
It also covers all positions u will find yourself in during a mma bout, the section on fighting against the and standing up from the cage was very useful. Overall whether you are a beginner to the sport of a mma or just looking to improve your game you will not be disappointed. It's become my new bible for mma, in short buy it now!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not what was expected of The Prodigy,
This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge (Paperback)
Was bit disappointed with this book, expected more Jiu Jitsu from someone like Penn, allthough I suppose if I didnt already own the Fedor book, id be more happier as very similar. All of these Victory belt books seems same with different fighter on the front, they are even co written by same people, Cordoza and Krauss.

After reading all the great reviews on this website I decided to buy it, I was not dissapointed. The book totally exceeded the high expectations I had for it. No matter if you are a fighter or a interested fan listen to the reviews and buy it, it will not dissapoint in the slightest.

The BBC's programmes and services in the UK and around the world
Be part of the biggest shows on TV, and experience them live
Home | Inside the BBC | Media Centre | Partners & Suppliers | Careers | Help & Feedback | A‑Z |
Tuesday 31 January 2012, 08:11
When the BBC took over the chair of the Creative Diversity Network (CDN) in 2011 we made a firm commitment to investigate audiences' attitudes to Age in the media. Our partners in the CDN were enthusiastic and supportive of a cross-media approach and worked closely with us to ensure we delivered on our promise to research this area and share the results widely across the industry.
Today, the findings of 'Serving All Ages' have been published, and follow a public commitment by the CDN to do more to serve all audiences, and understand better attitudes towards portrayal of age in the media.
This kind of research offers insight into an area that really matter to the people who really matter to broadcasters - the audience. And, as the UK population ages - nearly half the British workforce will be aged 50 plus by 2030 - it's just as pertinent as ever.
What we found
The main finding showed that people are less concerned about age portrayal on radio and the internet than they are on television and whilst age was not immediately an issue of concern for most of the participants, once raised it did reveal areas of discussion and areas of concern. When discussing age portrayal on television, a number of areas were identified as opportunities to develop. These were:
What are the next steps?
We've shared the findings with some of the top people at the CDN, as well the BBC and the BBC Trust. In order for broadcasters to deliver high quality programming, a sophisticated understanding of what drives audience judgements is essential and this is what the findings of the CDN's Serving All Ages will provide broadcasters. Both audiences and experts told us they want the media they consume to be both entertaining and of high quality first and foremost. Ensuring accurate and authentic portrayal, including age, will help ensure this quality in output.

'...The use of condoms offers substantial protection, but does not
guarantee total protection and that while
there is no evidence that deep kissing has resulted in
transfer of the virus, no one can say that such transmission
would be absolutely impossible.'
--The Surgeon General, 1987
I know you won't mind if I ask you to put this on.
It's for your protection as well as mine--Wait.
Wait. Here, before we rush into anything
I've bought a condom for each one of your fingers. And here--
just a minute--Open up.
I'll help you put this one on, over your tongue.
I was thinking:
If we leave these two rolled, you can wear them
as patches over your eyes. Partners have been known to cry,
shed tears, bodily fluids, at all this trust, at even the thought
of this closeness.

Looks ike the second half will be Brazil vs. Neuer.Edit: Well, maybe not. I hoped Brazil would play a better game for their fans and since Germany only does what they need to do.
@freakin9 said:Just a few goals away for the mercy rule to take effect. If you needed convincing Thiago Silva is the best defender in the world...Maybe not the best, but certainly one of the best. And the brazilian team certainly needed a morale leader like him after the first/second goal.
