Milwaukee boxing favorite Marsh passes away
When Ron Marsh took off his horn-rimmed glasses it was almost like seeing Clark Kent turn into Superman.
A schoolteacher his entire adult life, from 1965 to '70 Marsh moonlighted as a professional boxer, was once regarded as a potential challenger to Muhammad Ali and later became a contender for the light heavyweight title.
He fought eight times in Milwaukee and won them all, including the biggest bout of his career at a sold-out Eagles Ballroom.
"I'd hate to think that just because I'm a fighter I'd be labeled an animal or a slob," the gentlemanly Marsh once told Ray Grody of the Milwaukee Sentinel. But when the glasses came off and the gloves went on, recalled local referee Paul Konner, "He'd take a street fight and put it into the ring, He had no reverence for anyone in the ring. A lot of guys pace themselves, but not this guy. He was something else."
Once the ninth-ranked light heavyweight in the world and a huge fan favorite here, Marsh was most proud of his 30 years in the classroom. "I think I've had a positive effect on a lot of kids," the phys-ed, science and health teacher said in an interview five years ago from his home in Overland, Kansas.
Marsh died there on Sept. 8 at age 70.
Born in Boise, Idaho, Marsh grew up in Kansas City. "Let's just say that I had four tattoos on my arms by the time I was 12, and then got into trouble," he told Grody in 1970.
After his expulsion from high school in KC, Marsh moved to Omaha. He played high school football and became friends with a running back named Gale Sayers.
Hitchhiking one day from Omaha to KC, Marsh got a ride from an influential alum of Kansas University who tried to talk him into enrolling there. "I don't know why you're going for a rummy like me," Marsh told him. "Why don't you go for somebody like Gale Sayers?"
Marsh and Sayers both ended up with KU football scholarships in 1961, and for four years Marsh blocked for the man who became one of college and pro football's best running backs and was his friend for life.
Too small for the pro gridiron, the six-foot, 190 pound Marsh, who'd won several Golden Gloves titles, became a teacher and a prizefighter. Within a year, Sports Illustrated named him one of the seven best prospects in the heavyweight division, along with Joe Frazier, Jerry Quarry and Buster Mathis.
In 1967, he fought Mathis at Madison Square Garden. Outweighed 239 ½ to 186, Marsh was knocked out in the fourth round. The next morning he was back in the classroom at Norwood Jr. High in Overland Park with make-up covering his bruises.
Marsh's brawling style made him a huge attraction in Milwaukee, and for his Aug. 3, 1970 fight against light heavyweight contender Andy Kendall at the Eagles Ballroom he stopped rush hour traffic on W. Wisconsin Ave. every afternoon sparring in a ring pitched in the parking lot of the building on North 24th Street.
He beat Kendall in 10 thrilling rounds, and a month later Marsh stopped Billy Marsh at the Eagles Ballroom. But then, as local promoter Harry Simos dickered with 175-pound champion Bob Foster to get Marsh a title fight here in his "second hometown," the fighting schoolteacher made the stunning decision to be a full-time Clark Kent.
"I had my moment of glory in the ring, and I now desire to hang up my gloves for good," he wrote Simos. "Harry, I want to thank you and the other fine people in Milwaukee for clearing a path for me to go all the way to the top in boxing.
"I just have to accept myself as an almost champion and I think that sounds healthy and relaxed in attitude. Isn't it inner peace that we are really looking for?
"I think it is. Being at peace with ourselves is all-important. Yes, that's really living, when we can stop the act, relax and be ourselves."
Wrote Holly Brown Malkames on a tribute page to her former teacher:
"Mr. Marsh was an incredible teacher and invested so much in us kids. He always had a smile, an encouraging thing to say and respected everyone for who they were. He saw potential in each student that passed through his school. The difference was, he made sure to tell them and give them the confidence to reach and exceed that potential. He had high expectations of all us but went about it in a manner that was fun, humorous and clearly influential. Mr. Marsh left his print on my life and I am so grateful. You will live on in all of us you believed in!"

A new kind of madness: How an Oscar-winner had to fight for his identity
Published Feb. 21, 2015
A century ago, Milwaukee's Butterfly Theater seemed to be home to one of the world's greatest stories in doorman Victor McLaglen.

May 17 It's not yet official, but it looks like David Wells (P) Bos will be activated from the DL in time to start Wednesday's game, according to the Boston Globe. "Just not ready to announce it officially yet," manager Terry Francona said before last night's game. "He's getting on schedule. It seems silly to say something, if he pulls a groin. And we have guys who have to be moved around."

Sheikh Salman al-Oadah
Scholars disagree on this matter. Some claim that all animal droppings are impure. Others say that the droppings of animals that are lawful to eat are pure. Impurity is only attributed to what comes out from human beings and animals whose flesh is unlawful to eat. This is the strongest of the two opinions. This view was adopted by Ibn Taymiyah [Majmû` al-Fatâwâ (21/542)]. He devoted a whole treatise to this topic wherein he supported this view with considerable evidence.

People @ Goddard
Real name
People @ Goddard
Alumni, Trustee
Caleb Pitkin graduated from Goddard College in 1980, and is presently a sugarmaker, timber harvester, and beef farmer in Cabot, Vt. He is also the grandson of Goddard College founding president, Royce "Tim" Pitkin.
He is engaged with the local community and at various times has served on the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission, the Cabot Planning Commission, the Cabot Selectboard, The Cabot Zoning Board of Adjustment, and Cabot Revolving Loan Fund Committee. From 1993 to 1994, he served in the Vermont House, representing the towns of Danville, Cabot, and Peacham.
Pitkin holds a BA in Social Ecology from Goddard College.
Says Pitkin:
"I have always been at home at Goddard: Lived here briefly with my grandparents as a small child, attended nursery school and kindergarten in the Clockhouse, attended countless events at the college during my childhood, worked in Environmental Services for a couple of years, and earned my bachelor's degree in 1980 through the Social Ecology and Resident Undergraduate programs. My parents, Belmont and Clo Pitkin, both attended and worked at the college, as have aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. I am very pleased that my daughter Hannah chose to attend Goddard and earn her bachelor's degree here. We have all found Goddard to be a nurturing, engaging, provoking, collaborative, and conciliatory place. I am happy to be here."

"It was already snowing at Minneapolis, and the general forecast for the area along the intended route indicated deteriorating weather conditions," wrote the Civil Aeronautics Board investigators six months after the crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "the Big Bopper" Richardson on this day in 1959. "The ceiling and visibility were lowering...and winds aloft were so high one could reasonably have expected to encounter adverse weather during the estimated two-hour flight." All of this information was available to 21-year-old pilot Roger Peterson, if only he had asked for it. Instead, he relied on an incomplete weather report and on the self-confidence of youth in making the decision to take off from Clear Lake, Iowa, shortly after midnight on February 3, 1959. Untrained and uncertified in instrument-only flight, Peterson was flying into conditions that made visual navigation impossible. "Considering all of these facts," the investigating authorities concluded, "the decision to go seems most imprudent."
The young pilot's decision to go may well have been influenced by the eagerness of his almost equally young client, Buddy Holly, to spare himself and his backing band another miserable night in the unheated tour bus that had already sent his drummer to the hospital with symptoms of frostbite. Eleven days into a scheduled 23-stop tour, Holly was fed up, worn out and looking forward to a good night's rest in a warm bed before the next night's show in Moorhead, Minnesota. In a similar mindset was a tired and ill J.P. Richardson, who played on the sympathies of Holly's guitarist to wangle his seat on the flight with Holly. That guitarist was future country legend Waylon Jennings. Meanwhile Tommy Allsup, Holly's guitarist, offered to flip a coin with up-and-coming young star Ritchie Valens for his seat. And so it was that Peterson's Beechcraft Bonanza carried not Holly and his band, but Holly and two of the three other stars of the Winter Dance Party Tour on its ill-fated flight. Dion di Mucci was the fourth of those stars, but he would join Allsup, Jennings and the various other tour musicians on the freezing bus ride ahead.
The plane would crash, and Holly, Richardson, Valens and Peterson would be dead, within five minutes of takeoff, as the direct result of pilot error. Only the next morning, when Waylon Jennings learned what had happened hours earlier, would he recall his final, good-natured exchange with Buddy Holly. "Well," said Holly when he learned of Jennings' swap with the Big Bopper, "I hope your old bus freezes over." Jennings' response: "Well, I hope your plane crashes."

AYE introduced me to the Satir Change Model. I remember feeling anxious about attending because it's not one of those sit-in-front-of-a-projector conferences, it's an experiential learning experience.
The first session I attended was about managing change and it was hosted by Steve Smith. Since I've written about this before, I'll give you the reader's digest version. This post will make more sense if you have a basic understand of the "J curve" that is the Satir Change Model.
Steve broke us into groups, Old Status Quo, Foreign Element, Chaos, New Status Quo. He selected a "star" and the objective of the session was for the Old Status Quo (the group I was in) to keep the star in one corner of the room. The objective of the New Status Quo was to get the star to move to the opposite corner of the room. Chaos' responsibility was to disrupt everything and the Foreign Element's responsibility was to trigger the disruption. Continue reading

He never found such a place, and started to realise that he would have to create it himself. But he hade all the means for it. Dorian hade no talent for normal magic, so by accident he killed his parents with the ability that he now calls Speach less. The only thing he could do was making other people the used magic regret it, he does not realise that his abilities is an old form of magic itself. So Dorian is now the leader of the organisation "Silence", which only goal is to remove all magic from the world. I know its probably just a champion I would like but anyways <33 Girl power :P

Extra Space Storage Inc. Announces Agreement To Acquire 20 Self Storage Properties
SALT LAKE CITY, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Extra Space Storage Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: EXR) announced today that its operating partnership subsidiary, Extra Space Storage LP (the "Operating Partnership"), entered into a Contribution Agreement with various companies affiliated with All Aboard Mini Storage and Lance D. Alworth, as principal (the "Contributors"), to acquire 20 self-storage facilities (the "Properties"). The transaction is currently expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2013, subject to due diligence and other customary closing conditions.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120730/LA48662LOGO)
The Properties are located in California and include approximately 14,800 self storage units, containing approximately 1.5 million square feet of net rentable space. The aggregate consideration for the Properties is valued at approximately $196.0 million, excluding transaction costs, including taking the Properties subject to approximately $100.1 million of existing loans (which will be prepaid by the Company after the Properties are conveyed to the Company). The Company will pay an additional $10.1 million related to the defeasance and prepayment costs associated with these loans. The Company will also issue approximately $33.6 million of newly designated Series B Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series B Preferred Units") and approximately $62.3 million of common Operating Partnership units (the "Common Units") to the Contributors.
The terms of the Series B Preferred Units will be governed by the Operating Partnership's Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership which the Company expects to enter into upon the closing of the transaction. With the exception of the existing Series A Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units will have priority over all other partnership interests with respect to distributions and liquidation. The Series B Preferred Units will bear a fixed priority return of 6.0% and have a total liquidation value of $33.6 million ( $25.00 per unit), and the newly issued Common Units will receive distributions and have a liquidation value equal to that of the existing Common Units. In addition, the Series B Preferred Units and Common Units will be redeemable at the option of the Contributors after a period of one year following the closing, which redemption obligation may be satisfied at the option of the Company in cash or shares of its common stock.

John Matthews has been Madison Teachers Inc. executive director since the 1960s. Yes I wrote the 1960s.
It seems that every year he makes some embarrassing mistake during the school board elections. Do people remember when last year he told a reporter that Mary Burke was not qualified because she was one of the 1% (technically so is he) and she never had children?
This year he recruited Sarah Manski (I guess it is no big deal that SHE has never had children) to run for school board.
Is there no one else qualified to run MTI and allow Matthews to retire after forty five years in the job?
Flame away at me. But seriously!

On the Pacific Coast in Bahías Magdalena and San Ignacio, newborn whales float beside their mothers as kayakers paddle about during the winter.

From China Digital Space
Melamine became a household word in China after the 2008 poison milk powder scandal. In the fall of 2008, at least six infants died and hundreds of thousands more were hospitalized after being fed milk powder manufactured by the Chinese company Sanlu. An investigation revealed that the company had been adding melamine, a chemical used in plastics manufacturing, to its milk powder in order to give the semblance of higher protein content. From that point on, "poison milk powder" and "melamine" have been terms well known to Chinese citizens.
The World Health Organization provides a Q&A about the the dangers of melamine contamination in the context of the 2008 scandal.
Since the 2008 Sanlu scandal, there have been numerous additional scandals involving milk contamination and tainted baby formula in China, battering faith in domestic dairy companies and significantly boosting profits for foreign diary firms in mainland China.
Read more about milk contamination and melamine from China Digital Times.

Chiefland High School graduate Matt McLelland is back at the school — this time as principal.
McLelland, who was assistant principal at the school last year, was before the end of the year transferred to Williston High School, where he was promoted to principal.
Last week, he accepted a job as principal at Trenton High School in Gilchrist County.
6th Grade
Hand-held pencil sharpener with shavings case
Backpack: (should be able to accommodate a towel or blanket)
Bottle of glue
• Spiral notebooks • Loose leaf notebook paper • One package of copy paper • Three ring binders • Flash drive (USB) • Highlighters/markers • Pencils and pens • Folders with pockets • Scientific calculator • Graph paper • Gym shoes for P.E.
Note: This is only a basic list. Certain teachers may require additional items.
The Levy County Schools Foundation will be sponsoring the annual "Stuff the Bus" on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Bus locations will be as follows:
• Bronson: Dollar General Market, US Hwy 27;
• Cedar Key: Dollar General Store, SR 24 in Rosewood;
• Chiefland: Walgreens, US Hwy 19;
• Inglis/Yankeetown: Food Ranch Store, US Hwy 19;
• Williston: Hitchcock's Foodway, US Hwy 27.
High grades for two Levy County middle schools were the highlights of a mixed group of school grade results. Levy County schools received a C rating as a whole from the Florida Department of Education for the 2011-2012 school year. A more difficult set of academic standards, and the transition to meet these requirements, factored into this year's grade, said Superintendent Robert Hastings. "This comes as no surprise given the nature of the changes," Hastings said, "We anticipated that this would happen. Overall we're very happy."
There are still openings in Chiefland Elementary School's Voluntary Pre-K program and the school is enrolling now for kindergarten. Parents are being urged to skip the delay and stop in at the CES office to pick up information and enrollment packets. Anyone who has not registered their child for kindergarten yet needs to come by and pick up our enrollment packet.
The Suwannee River Loyal Order of Moose presented recent high school graduate Nicole Outler, left,of Gainesville, with a college scholarship. Outler plans to double major in oboe performance and early childhood development.
Three Chiefland students were presented with awards Monday night for academic excellence. From left, Dasia Shepherd, of CES, and Dessie Clemons, of CHS, hold up their certificates. Taylor Lewellyn, not pictured, was CMS's Student of the Month.
Graduates of the Gateway College RN — registered nurse — program are, from left to right, Elaine Lagasse, Shani King, Pamela Ford, Stephanie Beasley, Karen York, Krissie Philman, Christina Nobs, Jesse Stubblefield, Casey Osteen and Chelsea Woodard.

We all know Paul's iconic words from the book of Philippians: "To live is Christ, to die is gain..." They are taught to us as children, reiterated in our youth, expounded upon in our adulthood, perhaps even memorized and quoted frequently in our personal lives. But are we really getting it?
Using Paul's radical letter to the Philippians as his road map, Matt Chandler forsakes the trendy to invite readers into authentic Christian maturity. The short book of Philippians is one of the most quoted in the Bible, yet Paul wrote it not for the popular sound bites, but to paint a picture of a mature Christian faith. While many give their lives to Jesus, few then go on to live a life of truly vibrant faith.
In this disruptively inspiring book, Chandler offers tangible ways to develop a faith of pursuing, chasing, knowing, and loving Jesus. Because if we clean up our lives but don't get Jesus, we've lost. So let the goal be Him. To live is Christ, to die is gain - this is the message of the letter. Therefore, our lives should be lived to Him, through Him, for Him, with Him, about Him - everything should be about Jesus.

Hay growers should know the quality of forages that horses need to stay healthy and happy. That's in part because, while horse owners are being encouraged to get hay analyzed using an equine analysis, "most need help interpreting the results of their analysis," says Krishona Martinson, University of Minnesota regional extension educator.
Horse hay should be 10-17% moisture and about 10% crude protein. "Crude protein is not likely to be a limiting part of the diet except in lactating mares, foals or performance horses, which would require higher levels," Martinson says.
Hay with an acid detergent fiber (ADF) value of 30-35% is good for horses. "The lower the ADF value, the more digestible the nutrients in the hay are," she says. Hay at 45% or more ADF is of little nutritional value. Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) levels should be 40-50%, and most horses won't eat anything above 65%. Good-quality hay at around 65% NDF can sometimes be given to horses -- if they quickly eat higher-quality hay -- to keep forage in their digestive systems and keep them busy.
Equine analyses also provide non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) estimates to help select feed for horses that show sensitivity to starches and sugars and measure digestible energy (DE) in the hay. "For a light working horse, DE should be about 20 Mcal/day, and most hays range from 0.76 to 0.94 Mcal/lb of DE," she explains. Calcium and phosphorus ratios can vary among different types of hay. Martinson says an adult horse in a maintenance phase should have a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 3:1 to 1:1.
Rained-on hay may be fine for horses in spite of the color, Martinson told horse owners at last weekend's Minnesota Horse Expo. "Rained-on hay may be faded in color, but I still urge horse owners to have it tested," she said. "If it isn't moldy and it tests okay, it should be fine to feed because horse owners should be supplementing for the vitamins that tend to be lost in rained-on or older hay anyway."
Visit the U of M's Horse Information Web site at www.extension.umn.edu/horse/index.html. Contact Martinson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

About Hospital Plans These days there are a variety of cheap hospital plans. All it takes is the necessary
research of different covers and choose the one that suits you the best. Medical costs all over the country get more
expensive, because of financial problems.
The reason is for the ends to meet and to ensure that the insurance gain
full recovery for their reliable service.
These increments are unfortunately given to new and existing
clients. Many clients have experience an
increase on premiums over the years. The
result led to a variety of changes in the policy, such as the stop of coverage
because of financial problems. There are
numerous of people without any health insurance or even hospital plan. This means that if an emergency strike this
person he would have to pay the expenses out of his pocket, which may disturb
his budget. The costs of health have increased extremely, as well as the medical and hospital departments. Clients have experienced a big increase in rates of services from short-to long term hospitalization. The surgical procedure of an outpatient is not cheap anymore. For ensuring health care, you should look for a cheap plan that includes all costs. Workers have the choice for private coverage or work-based coverage, but this depends on how long the person is with the company and the total hours they work. The work-based cover gives comprehensive coverage, although there are a few restrictions. For instance, some just cover the surgical procedure up to a certain point. Here a worker may use a private plan to cover the rest of the expenses. Work-based coverage is set up differently, because each has their own state. This is why medical companies offer a variety of independent hospital insurance. If one find that their time and budget meets they ensure comprehensive cover. According to experts, ones plan must include low premiums and deductibles that one can handle. Basic factors, such as doctor's fees, medication and other surgical procedures should be covered in your health insurance plan. One of the fastest ways of finding a cheap hospital cover is by browsing on the internet. There are a variety of health insurance sites on the internet that specialize in affordable medical covers. Clients can get a variety of quotes to compare, customer care service providers, and ask questions or concerns. There are also market opinions for clients to look at, as well as client opinions and other reliable information. There are a variety of options to consider if one has to be hospitalized or needs surgery. Each medical facility has its own type of medical cover. Workers make use of this opportunity, because it saves them from higher costs. Before receiving medical care a customer may apply for hospital cover. There should always be an insurance administrator to help a customer with a cheap hospital cover. Approval from the company always takes some time, but is on time before treatment or surgery. Customers can be sure of partial or full coverage, and does not need to worry about the expenses. People with existing health coverage can add their children onto the policy. Coverage agents recommend umbrella coverage to clients. This coverage consists of one monthly premium for the whole family. People may receive discounts for adding one to the plan. |

Sell your bicycle. Remove your catalytic converter. Slap Al Gore with a damp hippy.
Please. I'm begging you.
Guess what? The new plugin I'm using for posting pictures to WordPress means my thumbnails images aren't unviewably small or out of proportion. But if you click on the larger thumbnail, it now takes you to… an even smaller version of the picture! So no more keeping pictures on web pages I get paid for you to click on.
I'm so tired of using blogging software that takes money out of my pocket, and makes me look like an idiot and my pictures look like crap. But the alternatives are all, apparently, worse. It's hard to imagine how, but that's what I hear.

Slapping Gore with a wet hippy is a good thing, even leaving off his pushing of the Hoax.
In fact, before he pushed this crap I though he should not just be slapped with one, but roomed with large groups of them…in very small rooms…with no ventilation,….cabbage and beens the only allowable food.April 16, 2008 - 6:35 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

Hey, I've no illusions of being able to convince anyone here about the science of the issue; we've long since degenerated into a red/blue divide on the thing. Not starting no fights here!
I just read about Gore's law today and thought that deniers/advocates alike could get a laugh out of it. Peace

science of the situation.
Use the models Gore is using to predict the temps in 20 years and go back in time. Punch in the numbers. The results you get will not match what the temps actually were. Why should we think they will match the future?More numbers:
Warmest year in the last 100?
warmest in the last 20?
We are not getting the predicted numbers.Also,
Just what is the "Ideal Average Temperature" of the planet? Is it the temps of the Viking Scourge? The Maunder Minimum? The Ice Age? Now?The temp is far far far far more influenced by that big Mr. Fusion in the sky than all other factors combined. And It Never Stays The Same!
Mars got warmer. Must be the SUVs.
The Sun may well be going Maunder on us.
We may well get that Ice Age they warned about in the 70′s. . . some of the same folk who now push the religion of AGW.Gore and his ilk are not tossing the baby out with the bathwater. . . they are euthanasing it because it needs a bath.

torrent, isn't that law roughly the equivalent of "as the discussion of Catholicism continues, the probability that someone will mention the Pope approaches one"?
Let's face it, the march of science and the facts on the ground have not been kind to believers in anthropogenic global warming. It's gotten to the point where nobody except the socialists still argues for it.

Tim: Let me repeat. I am not here to convince any denialists that climate change exists or is a problem. I was just posting something kind of funny that I thought people could enjoy, regardless of whether they are hippy socialist tree huggers or world-destroying neocons.
To expand: Although my own political affiliations have changed since 2000, I nonetheless keep many red/conservative sites on my RSS roll, and this is one of them. I like reading VP's site; I scan the posts every day. I saw a random comment about slapping Al Gore within minutes of seeing 'Gore's Law' posted somewhere else, and I tried to share the funny.
(However, for the sake of accuracy, the law does not say someone will "mention" Gore; the law says someone will attack him. Kinda important difference.)
OK, can't resist the one LOL comment: Do you really believe that AAAS are all a bunch of socialists? Really? You know, all those scientists around the world are just aching to bring about Marxism and are making up science to do so? I'm not attacking you; I'm just curious: you said that only socialists believe in climate change anymore, and I didn't think that anyone outside of the Heartland Institute held positions that extreme.

Oops, hit post too soon.
Last, last question: Do you think McCain is a socialist? Or is he lying?
There is now a broad consensus in this country, and indeed in the world, that global warming is happening, that it is a serious problem, and that humans are causing it…. The debate has ended over whether global warming is a problem caused by human activity.
I mean, either he's saying that climate change is real, and therefore by yours lights he's a socialist, or he's lying to the American people about his policies and beliefs. Again, just curious how you see all this, especially in regards to Bush's comments on climate change just recently.

McCain, as you may notice among the conservative set, is not well thought of much of the time for his liberal bent.
That he thinks AGW is a real problem is as dumb as his denial that McCain/Fiengold is a rape of the First Amendment. Those of us who didn't want him as the nominee will vote for him to keep the morons who feel that even though there is proof that low taxes causes an increase in federal funds, it isn't about funding, it's about "fairness" and redistrobution….Obama's answer to Gibson was right out of Marx's little playbook.April 17, 2008 - 6:11 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

JP: Oh I know how's he's viewed by the right (and I agree with you BTW on McCain/Feingold). I was really wondering if tim's "believe in climate change = socialist" was an accurate statement of people's beliefs, at least around these parts. Thanks for the reply.

Hard to imagine how this is still going on. I mean, a few of my cars have got to be making up for every Prius ever sold.

hybrids and all electric cars are far more polluting than the greenies would have you believe.
Building and driving a prius pollutes more than an H1 hummer unless you drive them for more than 5 or 6 years (iirc) and the battery life on the hybrids is still suspect, not to mention the cost to replace will likely be more than the car is worth.April 18, 2008 - 3:18 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

JP: I know Rush loved that article and trumpeted it on his show, but it was absolute crap. For a light sampling of how bad it was, check this article.
Also, it's one thing to recognize that brand new technologies will out of the gate probably not be as cost efficient as those that have been around for 50 years or more. It's another to make the leap to the laughable conclusion that the entire direction or branch of science isn't worthy of exploration. For example, these guys keep pushing their boulder up the hill, right?

torrent, back to your original point, I thought after I hit post that it would be a more precise comparison if I said "anti-papists" (which is the typical term for anti-Catholics) would attack the Pope, but I didn't post again because it's a pretty minor point, not worth mentioning I thought. The real issue (to the extent that there is one) is the complete misrepresentation of Godwin's law. Gore is prominantly affiliated with the AGW position and as such is fair game in this discussion, whereas Godwin's law applies to areas where any Hitler comparison is totally inappropriate.
Gore's Law, while mildly humorous, is a bit of silly fluff designed to insult and demean a certain point of view. You can hardly be surprised that the people you insulted feel insulted.
I stand by the Socialist remark. AGW's sole purpose at the moment is to expand the reach of government deeper into our lives and our economy. It is a tool for those on the far left who have failed to win at the ballot box and have been rolled back in the courtroom (haven't you noticed that the "cures" for global warming read like a lefty wish list?). That this tool has temporarily succeeded in convincing certain opportunists to use the lingo hardly proves it's legitimacy. As for the scientists, the scientific defenders of AGW and Gore-style cures is shrinking by the day.
They don't even call it Global Warming any more. It's now called Global Climate Change. Get with the program.

Tim: Please re-read all of my posts on this thread and see where I used the term "global warming" vs. "climate change." (pause) It must suck when your talking points bounce off the facts on the ground like that.
2nd: "Gore is prominantly affiliated with the AGW position and as such is fair game in this discussion." For possibly the 3rd time this debate, you've missed a key textual point: Being associated with a political or social cause makes *personal attacks* fair game? Gore's law makes explicit reference to personal attacks. So pro-choicers can attack, say, the Pope for his looks, or background, or jokes about molestation ala Maher or make any other ad hominem attack they chose simply because he's associated with the pro-life movement? Are you really advancing this position?
"designed to insult and demean a certain point of view." Wow. I thought Muslims rioting over cartoons were touchy. So pointing out that people who disbelieve in climate change often resort to personal attacks is somehow attacking *you*? Seriously? And pointing out that personal attacks shouldn't be part of a scientific and policy debate is "insulting and demeaning"? Again, seriously?
"AGW's sole purpose"… And we're done. Your sentences following aren't proof or even arguments; they conclusions and conspiracy theories, all rolled together. You claim to know "AGW"'s true purpose or goals, and it takes more than GOP press releases to make that stuff anymmore than what it is: attempts to frame GW as a sneaky, lefty attack on all we hold dear, etc etc.
And you're right that people agreeing with it don't make it valid: SCIENTISTS and RESEARCH do, which you claim unsourced is an ever-shrinking group and body of knowledge. Using your words, it takes more than Republicans latching on those words to make the science go away, and the gleeful anecdotal reporting of every snow storm is just part of that.Peace.

JP: I posted earlier but it didn't show up.
In re: the "a hummer is teh awesome compared to Prii" report. I know how much Rush loved the report, since he trumpeted it so loudly, but it was crap. Check this for (just a few) of the laughable errors made in that report.
(trying to remember my earlier post): Just because the first attempt at a technology isn't perfect can't, in any rational world, justify giving up on the entire concept. I don't think the first airplane flew, nor maybe even the 100th, yet I somehow survived my flight to Europe unscathed, despite the crash-n-burns of the first few aviators. Similarly, just because the first few revs (produced, let's not forget, by companies with every reason not to want to make these cars in the first place) of greener cars are more expensive doesn't mean that all is lost! when it comes to developing greener technology in general.

Fourteen species of keratinophilic fungi belonging to ten genera (Chrysoporium, Malbranchea, Chaetomium,Sepedonium, Microascus, Scopulariopsis, Curvularia, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium) were isolated from feathers of about one hundred living poultry birds. The isolated fungi were compared for their keratinase activity after growing them on two different media: (1) basal salts solution containing natural keratin (human hair) as the only source of carbon and nitrogen; (2) the medium was supplemented with a minor amount of readily assimilable source of carbon along with natural keratin. All the test fungi could grow on keratinous material, degrading it and releasing sulphydryl containing compounds detected as cysteine, total proteins and extracellular keratinase. Maximum enzyme release by these fungi occurred in the broth supplemented with glucose and vitamins, thereby indicating a correlation between the mycelial biomass and production of proteolytic keratinases.

Acclaimed vocalist and songwriter, Ann Hampton Callaway makes her Telarc debut with the August 22, 2006, release of Blues in the Night. Perhaps best known for writing the theme to the hit TV series The Nanny and songs for Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross and Celine Dion, Callaway has also released a string of critically acclaimed albums of standards and originals.
Blues in the Night is the latest and most ambitious installment in that ongoing body of work, with performances by the Diva Jazz Orchestra and arrangements by Tommy Newsome (Johnny Carson's longtime musical director on The Tonight Show) Matt Gatingub, Bill Mays and Callaway herself. The CD's twelve tracks will be available on iTunes, in addition to an original love ballad, "You Are You," which Telarc will offer as an internet exclusive.
Callaway's new album is a dynamic and stirring collection of American Songbook classics, mixed with potent and witty original songs. The recording contains several jazz standards, but with arrangements and interpretations that are far from standard. "This is the feistiest, gutsiest, most let-your-hair-down CD I've ever recorded," says Callaway. "There are quiet and soothing moments, and there are moments when I wail. The recording expresses the full range of who I am. Of all my recordings, it comes closest to a live concert."
Callaway is joined on Blues in the Night by drummer Sherrie Maricle and her all-female Diva Jazz Orchestra. "I have wanted to sing with them ever since I heard their CD years ago," says Callaway. "I was knocked out by their talent." They finally joined forces during a very special engagement at Lincoln Center's Women in Jazz Festival in 2005, which was followed by an extended run at the famous Blue Note jazz club in New York. "Having spent so long as a solo artist, I find a great artistic camaraderie singing with orchestras and big bands," says Callaway. "Sherrie has gathered a remarkable group: women with amazing spirit, humor and spontaneity. Musical chemistry is important, of course, but so is personal chemistry. It's more than a job for these dedicated players. It's an emotional investment in their music."
"Swinging Away the Blues," the vibrant opening track, sets the tone for the entire recording. "My father would sing and scat around the house, which began my lifelong love for jazz and swing," says Callaway. "I want this CD to be an uplifting celebration. We all have to deal with everyday pressures. Enjoying great music is the best way to get through the hardships of life."
The CD's title track, heard here in an all-stops-out rendition of the Harold Arlen classic, is a fitting centerpiece for the album. Since Callaway first performed it a few years ago in the Broadway musical Swing!, it has become her signature song, and her interpretation has grown and deepened over time. "I grew up with the idea that in music, beauty was essential," she explains, "but sometimes it's more important to be real than to be beautiful."
Similarly, Callaway's driving and intense arrangement of "Blue Moon"originally created for a Richard Rodgers centennial tributelets her explore colors and shades of her voice missing from past recordings.
The scintillating medley of Harold Arlen torch songs, "Stormy Weather" and "When the Sun Comes Out," was arranged by Callaway for her role in Swing! (Ann received a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the show). The version on this recording features Ann's sister, Liz Callaway, the Tony Award-nominated Broadway star of Cats, Miss Saigon and Baby.
"Hip To Be Happy," was written to reflect Callaway's perennial upbeat attitude. "We live in a culture that deifies misery," she says. "There is a widespread attitude that to be a real artist you have to drink a bottle of scotch every day and destroy yourself. But a positive outlook can be your best friend. This song is my Lambert, Hendricks & Ross-inspired spin on the subject."
"No One Is Alone," a lilting and tender ballad, is Callaway's first solo recording of a song by Stephen Sondheim. "In a very alienating time," says Callaway, "people feel alone and stressed, and we forget to connect to each other."
Because he is renowned for his witty wordplay, Cole Porter is often overlooked as a composer and lyricist of deep passion and strong emotion. But Callaway brings out the sensuous undertones and deep yearnings of "It's All Right With Me," a number usually taken at a much faster pace. "To me, this song expresses the pent-up desire to be with someone you just can't be with. I think we've all felt that."
"I've put my own stamp on these songs," says Callaway, "and I hope the listener can find new truth in them. There is nothing like hearing a vintage song that we all know and love, yet feeling like you are hearing it for the first time." Indeed, Ann has accomplished her goal. Blues in the Nightfrisky and fun, yet intimate and introspectivetruly offers something for everyone.
