Obama and Washington's name ought not appear in the same sentence, never mind making a comparison between the two.
Putting their names near each other without a period in between shows bias in relation to their accomplishments before and during their presidency.
The article implies that the Tea party despises taxation. Who enjoys other people taking money away from them? But the Tea party isn't about eradicating taxation but rather about keeping it and government spending under control. There's a reason it's called the Tea party, you know. It's an acronym for Taxed Enough Already.
Thanks. You've given a perfect example of the folly of your kind of extreme thinking.
So after 200+ years, you can be 100% confident that the founders would be focusing on taxes as a perecentage of GDP as their sole guidance in whether the government is legitimate?
Your argument is typical of those who misunderstand and misuse math and statistics to support their predetermined POV.
As one small example, why are you so focused on percentages? Wouldn't overall purchasing power perhaps, just perhaps be also something to consider? I think it is pretty clear that the average American has significantly more purchasing power today than in 1776. E.g. Most garages today are bigger than the houses they lived in back then.
Now what makes you so sure that if spending remained at 2.3% they would have the same purchasing power today? Would every founder prefer a country where everyone lived in log cabins with no paved streets but only paid 2.3% in taxes, or might some argue that it would be preferable to have our better standard of living, nicer homes, paved streets, police, military, fire, etc. and pay 23.8%.
I am not even arguing that they would, simply that you can't possibly know.
But instead of at least considering the complexities of the world, instead you want to act like you have all the answers, and any who disagree with you are ignorant?
Well done, Lexington.
"The thing you do not seem to understand is that the Constitution was put in place to last over time as a living document for 'the people' living in their times, and not for the founders long after they died."
I find your reference to a "living document" fascinating. Could you reference where this concept was first put forward? Was this concept mentioned during the creation of the Constitution, or is this a new concept post the people that wrote and signed the Constitution?
If you count unions as corporations, I think I can agree with you. In that sense, there are definitely corporations that are not paying their fair share.
Washington allowed a purified uncorrupted democracy to settle in the new Republic. The so called "conventional view" of Washington is a realistic assessement and shouldnt be cynically reassessed. He was a selfless patriot who ushered in 2 centuries of American exceptionalism, which all started with his noble example. It would be interesting to discuss how American history would have been different had George Washington not set the tone of the new Republic, and of course how this would have effected a wider history beyond the new Republic itself, which it unquestionably would have.
Who doesn't suppress rioters?
"The fact is that no one of the founding generation would have seen the size and scope of today's government, at any level, as being legitimate"
Really? You know that for a fact?
Don't you think you are part of the problem Lexington is talking about? You are so sure of things that it is impossible to be sure of.
You discount historical record to a degree that would make it impossible to infer the reaction of past ideological beliefs to modern day events. Washington's ideology pertaining to the scope of government has been well documented through numerous personal writings and his actions as president. Even he fretted about the size and power of government when it constituted a fraction of today's levels. It appears you would rather have willful ignorance of historical figures as opposed to analytical understanding.
My point was a simple one - but I am happy to repeat if for a third time (in order to try and avoid misunderstandings).
The Constitution of the United States (as some of the New Dealers were honest enough to later admit) was written to prevent the Federal government doing the sorts of things it now does.
As for putting my own beliefs on the Founders - not at all.
My beliefs are closer to their beliefs than I suspect yours are - but there are clear differences.
For example, the authors of the Constitution of the United States clearly wanted the Congress to have the power (if it so wished) to have a "post office" and to be able to build "post roads".
I am totally against Congress having these powers - but I do not deny they ARE Constitutional.
The Founders (like Edmund Burke and others in the English speaking world) were firmly in the "Civil Association" tradition of government - limited government with the protection of private property at its core.
That does NOT mean they were card carrying Libertarians who did not want government to do anythying - but it does mean that the rejected the sort of big government that existed at the time in (for example) the Prussia of Frederick the Great or (some years before) in the France of the "Sun King" Louis XIV, they rejected big government and hoped they had written a Constitution which would restain government.
Sadly they were mistaken - but for a long time they were NOT mistaken. For a long time the Consitution of the United States did act a break on the growth of government (it kept government limited).
Nothing lasts for ever - and none of the Founders predicted that the United States would.
Even if a vast government that influences most aspects of human life is sustainable (which I doubt) it is certainly not sustainable in a diverse nation of hundreds of millions of people over millions of square miles.
Either the United States will return to the tradition of much more limited goverment - or it the United States will break up.
Not in some 1861 style Civil War (and please note the Confederates were actually Big Government people - their real policies of massive and "Progressive" taxation and endless regulation,indeed nationalisation, have gone down the "Memory Hole") - but via economic and social bankruptcy. De facto bankruptcy - not legal bankruptcy.
"Not so much a bang as a wimper" - much like the end of Detroit, which hardly anyone appears to have noted(although, as recently as the 1960s, Detriot was one of the most important cities in the entire world).
I have a passing familiarity with Calvin, Luther and Pelagianism and do not find such discussion boring at all.
As for the founding fathers - well many of them were worse heretics than Obama or 'you'. Particularly Jefferson, Franklin and Adams. It is of course irrelevant, America is founded on freedom, including religious, Obama can believe what he wants just like JFK was allowed to be a Catholic.
You would have been excommunicated rather than burnt. SemiPelagianism doesn't mean much anymore, people define themselves differently. Even Pelagianism doesn't mean much.
I find it difficult to understand how Christians or semiPelagianists though can be so right wing. Any Christian with even a small amount of compassion for example should have supported any healthcare bill which extends insurance to catch more people, even if it meant more expense for themselves. Or any measure which reduces inequality such as taxing rich people or closing tax loopholes like mortgage interest relief or in fact many (but not all) of the things that Democrats stand for*
*I except a few social issues here such as abortion
Your definition is also wrong. Look it up before posting, the opposite of an atheist is a theist.
The important thing to note is that Washington was far more liberal and progressive than his peers.
The equivalent of the tea party* in those days was the pro monarchists and white rich landowning slave owners. They were the conservative ones trying to prevent progress and change.
*The modern tea party obviously not the Boston tea party over which the modern tea party falsely believes they somehow emulate
Or, indeed, a government to enforce those laws...agree to both comments here.
"Smartness is intelligence."
Mostly true, although there are various kinds of smartness or intelligence.
"Much more knowledgeable is what we are today."
If by this you mean the sum of human knowledge, this is absolutely correct. As applied to the average human being - well, I have my doubts.
Of course the founder of the Federalist party (Hamilton) was shot to death by Jefferson's Vice President in a duel that was considered a murder at the time given the vast difference in firearm ability between the two men.
I can remember back to Ike's second term and the level of hatred today between parties is unprecedented in my recall. The current situation is unstable and something must change - hopefully for the best but I am not holding my breath.
"Caesar, Cromwell and Napoleon with feet of clay???"
Indeed. The most admirable trait of these gents is that they fully embraced being the decider in chief.
It is unreasonable to paint Cromwell as some power-hungry tyrant. He too refused a crown when it was offered to him, and in his last years in power he deliberately paved the way for a peaceful transition back to the same monarchy he'd deposed. Basically, his overriding motivation - the reason behind everything he did - was to keep the peace.
In my book, that's not so ignoble a goal.
I think Washington was wrong to worry about the nefariousness of party - Madison and others recognised that 'faction' was not inimical to, but the natural corollary of, popular government. What is needed is a responsible attitude to such divisions.
The man to look to is Jefferson; as he said in his inaugural address:
"But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists".
I think some of his modern fans might do well to remember that (and of course their opponents too).

Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.
W: J. Tavarez (3-4)
L: S. Richmond (5-4)
WASHINGTON -- Willie Harris couldn't get a sacrifice bunt down to move the winning run into scoring position. Then he failed to execute a hit-and-run.
So when emergency reliever Scott Richmond ran the count full, Harris just wanted to drive the ball somewhere to keep the rally alive.Harris hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning and the Washington Nationals stretched their winning streak to a season-high four games by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Saturday night.Nationals manager Manny Acta kept changing the tenor of Harris' at-bat as it unfolded. First he called for a bunt, then tried to get Harris to shoot a ball through the infield with Alberto Gonzalez running on the pitch."It's a mouse-and-cat type of game. ... We got all the way to 3-2 and we try to tell [Harris] to be aggressive," Acta said.Gonzalez led off the 12th with a single against Richmond (5-4). Harris then hit a drive into the Nationals' right-field bullpen for his second home run of the season."When I got to 3-2, I was able to get a ball up in the zone and hit it out of the ballpark," said Harris, who made a diving catch in center to take an extra-base hit away from Raul Chavez in the fifth.The Nationals, with the worst record in the majors, have their longest winning streak since taking seven straight from Aug. 26-Sept. 1, 2008."We really feel like we can win every game," Harris said. "When you're losing ballgames, you get a gut feeling you're going to lose a game somehow. Things are going well for us now."Julian Tavarez (3-4) got the victory with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.Toronto manager Cito Gaston turned to Richmond, who started and won Wednesday in Philadelphia, because he was down to rookies Dirk Hayhurst and Brad Mills in an overtaxed bullpen."We had a lot of guys that weren't available tonight and we got them through the night," Gaston said. "Of course, it would have been nicer to get them through with a win."Washington's Nick Johnson walked, singled and doubled in his first three times up, extending his streak of reaching base safely to 10 consecutive plate appearances, a Nationals record. That matched the franchise mark set by the Montreal Expos' Rusty Staub in 1969. Johnson's streak ended with an eighth-inning groundout.Vernon Wells hit his sixth homer off Washington starter Ross Detwiler in the sixth, ending career-long homerless drought of 160 at-bats.But it wasn't enough to prevent a two-game losing streak by the Jays, who scored 23 runs in sweeping three games from the World Series champion Phillies before arriving in D.C."[Washington] pitched as well as we have," Gaston said. "They've just managed to outscore us. ... In baseball you don't stay hot all the time."The Nationals went up 1-0 in the fifth. Harris hit a ground-rule double over the wall in left-center, stole third and scored on Wil Nieves' sacrifice fly.Consecutive doubles by Cristian Guzman and Johnson restored the Nationals' lead in the bottom of the sixth before Elijah Dukes' two-out double made it 3-1.Brett Cecil, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Las Vegas to take the rotation spot of the injured Toronto ace Roy Halladay, allowed eight hits and three runs in seven innings, walking one and striking out four.Toronto tied it in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Jose Bautista's single chased Detwiler, Kip Wells relieved and gave up a sacrifice bunt and a run-scoring single by Aaron Hill.Kip Wells got Vernon Wells to pop up after a passed ball by Nieves moved Bautista up and was replaced by Joel Hanrahan, who yielded a game-tying single by Scott Rolen.Detwiler allowed two runs on six hits over seven-plus innings, walking one and striking out three.Game notes
Rolen's fourth-inning single extended his hitting streak to 10 games. ... Washington LHP Scott Olsen, on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder tendinitis, will make at least one more rehabilitation start for Triple-A Syracuse before he's activated. On Friday, Olsen allowed four runs on seven hits and walked three in 3 2/3 innings. ... Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Gaston's return as Toronto's manager. In that time, the Blue Jays were 88-69 (.561), the third-best mark in the American League. ... Washington RHP Jesus Colome left the game in the 11th with a right quadriceps strain and is day-to-day.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although the Dallas Stars traded two of their top four scorers in the two days since their last meeting with Anaheim, the Ducks didn't take them less seriously in the rematch.
The departures of Jaromir Jagr and Derek Roy actually made the Stars look more dangerous to the Ducks, and the Pacific Division leaders responded accordingly.
Captain Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and two assists, and Teemu Selanne scored his 673rd career goal in the Ducks' 5-2 victory over Dallas on Wednesday night.
Viktor Fasth made 23 saves and Radek Dvorak scored his first goal for Anaheim in the second of three straight meetings in five days between the first-place Ducks and the last-place Stars, who lost 4-0 in Dallas on Monday. While the Stars are young and improving, the Ducks are sitting on a double-digit lead atop the division with 11 games to play, closing in on a postseason berth and just their second Pacific title in two decades of existence.
"Teams that make trades and do the sell-off are so tough to play down the stretch," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Experience tells me when you bring in a lot of new guys, young guys especially, they play with so much energy. ... To beat any team three times in a row is difficult, but we're going to try."
Kyle Palmieri snapped a 13-game goal drought and Andrew Cogliano scored an empty-net goal as the Ducks improved the NHL's third-best record to 25-7-5 and closed within two points of the league-leading Chicago Blackhawks.
Getzlaf had the fourth three-point game in his outstanding season for Anaheim, which is 3-0-1 since a four-game losing streak last month.
Getzlaf briefly left the ice after bending his right leg awkwardly while tied up with Jamie Benn in the third period, but returned to score his 150th career goal on a perfectly placed backhand setup by Corey Perry. Boudreau then gave the rest of the night off to his leading scorer.
"He's one of the best passers in the league," Dvorak said of Getzlaf, who assisted on his first-period goal with a pinpoint pass from the far boards. "As soon as I see he has the puck, I just try to get open. ... We knew it was going to be a tough game. They were coming hard tonight. They made a lot of changes and had a lot of young guys, and they had a lot of energy."
Lane MacDermid scored his first NHL goal in his Dallas debut, and Kari Lehtonen stopped 22 shots in the Stars' first game since trading Jagr to Boston and Roy to Vancouver. Erik Cole also scored for the Stars, who have lost three straight.
With the departures of Jagr and Roy, Alex Chiasson made his NHL debut for Dallas and center Ryan Garbutt returned from a nine-game absence with an injured wrist. High-scoring left wing Loui Eriksson also played center for the Stars.
"It's tough to find the good stuff in a loss like that," Dallas defenseman Stephane Robidas said. "There are a lot of new faces, young guys that had their first experience with us, and I thought they did really well."
Fasth, who shut out Dallas earlier this week, blanked Dallas through the first 42 minutes Wednesday before Cole scored. MacDermid, acquired from the Bruins in the Jagr deal, got his first NHL goal with 1:24 to play.
"I thought all of the guys had a lot of energy and tried to do all the little things right," MacDermid said. "We did that for the most part, but they made some good plays."
After adding veterans Dvorak and David Steckel last month, the Ducks made only two moves at the trade deadline, acquiring center Matthew Lombardi from Phoenix and shipping out third-string goalie Jeff Deslauriers in separate deals.
Anaheim showed little fatigue in its 22nd game in 39 days, controlling early play and going ahead on the goal by Dvorak, a 17-year NHL veteran who signed with Anaheim on March 24. The Czech forward had been playing in Switzerland this winter after scoring 21 points in 73 games for Dallas last season.
Selanne scored his 251st power-play goal in the second period when a drop pass by Getzlaf deflected to him for a nasty wrist shot. Selanne endured a nine-game goal drought in March, but the 42-year-old Finnish Flash has scored at least 10 goals for the 20th consecutive season.
Palmieri added his added his eighth goal of the season five minutes later, easily moving past stationary defenseman Aaron Rome. The Ducks' promising scorer hadn't found the net in his past 13 games, since getting a hat trick Feb. 27 against Nashville.
Game notes
The 6-foot-4 Chiasson was a second-round pick in 2009 before playing three seasons at Boston University. Chiasson hit Anaheim's Matt Beleskey squarely in the face with his stick blade early in the third period but wasn't penalized while Beleskey went to the dressing room. ... The Ducks traded C Brandon McMillan to Phoenix for Lombardi, who wasn't in town to face Dallas. McMillan never solidified a spot in the Ducks' lineup over the past three years despite numerous chances to stick in Anaheim. He played in six games with Anaheim this season, spending most of the past two years in the AHL.

text: Alexander, I never said you were the cause of my leaving LFS. Yes we did disagree on things, but that had nothing to do with it. I made my decision a long time ago about leaving, I have felt since Gerard hasn't been around the project was spinning out of control due to a lot of personality clashes. I don't want you decision to leave be because you misunderstood what I said. I have waited a while to send this email until you have a cool head. But don't make your leaving the project on my head, and that's the way it has been taken in context is that I forced you out. I didn't I was no longer with the project when you left, and yes we did have a conversation on IRC that may have ticked you off. But like it has been said numerous times, everyone has a opinion, and you just didn't agree with mine and you didn't even give me a chance to explain my point of view before you stormed off.

The concept art figures would also be some of the best candiates for the fighting foe men. Great way to introduce a new faction.
I thought the concept for beastman man look more like a Red bear.
You don't stop playing because you grow old you grow old because you stop playing. George Benard Shaw.
The concept art figures would also be some of the best candiates for the fighting foe men. Great way to introduce a new faction.
Would have Demo-Man be leader with Red Beast, Obelisk & Alcala warriors, and even throw in the Fuerza-T characters (if they are really considering them). They could even make all of the Fuerza-T characters evil since they are not really MOTU and give them better names.
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
I'd love to see some awesome Mattel-made Fuerza-T figures as Fighting Foe Men. What a great addition and odd little story in toy-history that would make!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
fuerza-t characters in the motu continuity would be a great idea, and the figures released as motuc would be a wonderful gift!
personally, i'd rather put them in oo-larr's age, with platino and shidoshi being fisto and jitsu masters, titano as officer of the guards, while aracnos and escorpius could be the "ancestors" of skeletor's evil warrior.
It would be outstanding to have some loosely based Fuerza-T style characters be some band of villains from some twisted mirror universe (possibly as the Fighting Foe Men) who have come to steal the power sword into their own universe. Some random faction that interfere with past events on Eternia.
Platino would surely be a He-Man
Great idea to throw the Fuerza T Characters in that time period. That would make the Preternia thing much bigger...
That is an easy one. The FIghting Foe Men are compiled of Zulu, Jasmine, Greywolf with his wolf turned siblings Sasha and Meisha, along with some other campanions as they battle the hordes of Wrath-Amon and his evil snake men. Wait...
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
I'd like to see Warthog Man and Red Beast as 2 of the Fighting Foe Men
I would also like to see Warthog Man and the Red Beast aligned with Demo-Man as the fighting foe men. I think its a cool concept. And thrown in Lodar or Prahvus as well

No fuerza -t they have nothing to do with the mythology of MOTU,except some toy comapny stole the design, using the concept art, figures that dont have a time peroid assigned to them, even some characater like Lodar and Geldor(Vandal Savage type character) after all existing characters are made, and you got yourself a whole new faction.
Fighting Foe Men? They made already back in the day!
Ok, I know the figures kinda sucked. But the concepts behind each character was awesome and they all could easily be made using existing parts with just new heads being needed.
Much better than Fuerza-T. They're cool but there's nothing original about them other than the way they are mixed and matched.
The Galaxy Warriors are more suited to the preternia time period in that yhey are all more fantasy then sci-fi.
Will we be seeing The Fighting Foe Men in MOTUC?
If so how would you picture them?
As barbarian humans, humanoid beasts or some kind of demons?
Would they be a good army builder?
There is a lot open to the imagination with these guys far as story & design.
So, let the speculation begin.
I think Demo-Man is one of them, maybe even their leader.
In my opinion undefined characters like him, Red Beast, Megator or Draego-Man are perfect candidates for that group (even if the bios state they're not).
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
I imagine they were mentioned in the bio because Mattel already had a bunch of designs they would like to use (old concept art like Vikor's) and they set up the Foe-Men as a group they could toss those concepts in under. If it is concept art based characters, the name seems particularly fitting.
All that aside, the name and the relation to Vikor conjures up a group of Conan inspired human barbarian warrior types. Whatever they decide to do with them, I'm all for new characters in MOTU and my Vikor could always use somebody new to kill. The 4H have made many a design I did not initially care for a winner, so I'm fairly certain whatever the Foe Men wind up being I'm going to want it.
Latest MOTU Features:
* Madame Razz * Entrapta * Customized Rio Blast * Lizard Man* Ninjor
* BA King Hsss and SA He-Man
You could always use Demo-Man, Megator and Draego Man as enemies of Vikor. Sure the latter two are mentioned to work for Hordak and Skeletor. But who is to say they didn't have a different boss before?
And to be honest: A barbarian fighting giants and dragon warriors - that fits the bill perfectly !
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
I also think, they should be a group of outsiders and warlords...Definatly some mini comic guys....
The reveals were awesome! Such original looking figures!
I'm loving this set, especially Sherrlyn. One of the coolest looking females in the line! Definitely one of the best reveals, the only downside is that this set is so far away.
Don't care about them. Not that they are not well done, it's just that I'm fed up with getting 3 obscure characters all at once while we still haven't had some of core members of POP (Glimmer, Castaspella, Angella) or NA (Hydron, Flogg, Mara)...

Love & The Outcome
Imagine selling most of your worldly possessions (including the place you call home) and hitting the road to pursue a musical vision. You're leaving your native country. You have no idea what's ahead. You don't know where you'll rest for the night. You take stock and realize that all you have—or all you have left—are your songs, your dreams, your spouse, and your trust in God … and these four things make up the rope of hopefulness you cling to, day in and day out. This is the story of Love & The Outcome.
The husband-wife duo Love & The Outcome have packed their debut album with songs that speak to the faith journey they've braved these past few years. Vocalist Jodi King and her husband, bass player Chris Rademaker, have come a long way since selling their condo in Winnipeg, Manitoba (about 400 miles northwest of Minneapolis) in 2010 and hitting the road to share Jesus through music.
"We want to inspire people to follow Jesus," Jodi says. "We want these songs to become a lifestyle, and hope that the truth of these songs goes beyond the thrill of the live show to plant a seed in people's hearts: to go for the things that they might be afraid to go for and join this joyful revolution. That's the whole point. A life that requires faith is worth living, and a life on the edge is one where you live hand-in-hand and arm-in-arm with God. That's what we're living for."

Recap: LA Angels vs. Oakland
Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Howie Kendrick's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th lifted the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim over the Oakland Athletics, 4-3, in the opener of a key four-game series.
Ryan Cook (1-2), who recorded the final out in the ninth, stayed on to pitch the 10th for Oakland. Albert Pujols walked, moved to third on Josh Hamilton's single to right-center field and scored on Kendrick's sac fly to right.
"He left one up and I was able to drive it to right," Kendrick said.
The victory gave the Angels a two-game lead over the A's for first place in the AL West.
But the Athletics played Thursday's game under protest following an obstruction call on Oakland pitcher Dan Otero in the bottom of the ninth.
Erick Aybar reached first on the defensive interference call. Aybar hit a chopper down the first-base line that resulted in Otero colliding with first baseman Brandon Moss. Aybar then ran into Otero, who had the ball in his glove, causing a very confusing sequence. Home plate umpire Greg Gibson awarded Aybar first base because he was obstructed. A's manager Bob Melvin argued the call and put the game under protest.
"They said he has to have a clear lane to the base -- and one, he's way out of the baseline, and two, he tried to make contact with the fielder," Melvin said.
Pinch-hitter John McDonald followed with a bunt single that left Otero and Moss looking at each other. Following a sacrifice bunt, Gordon Beckham was intentionally walked to load the bases. Fernando Abad came in from the bullpen and got Kole Calhoun to pop out. Mike Trout then grounded into a fielder's choice, which only happened thanks to a sprawling save from second baseman Alberto Callaspo.
Fernando Salas (5-0) tossed a scoreless top of the 10th to pick up the win for the Angels, who have won three in a row.
The Angels jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second. Hamilton, Kendrick and Aybar hit three straight singles to plate a run. The runners moved up to second and third on a pair of wild pitches. Following two quick outs, Beckham hit a two-run single to right.
The home team left the bases loaded in the third.
Oakland put two runs on the board in the fifth. Moss led off with a single and raced home on Geovany Soto's double to right. Two batters later, Coco Crisp hit an RBI single to center.
Josh Donaldson led off the sixth with a homer to make it 3-3. The A's went on to load the bases later in the inning, but pinch-hitter Stephen Vogt struck out swinging.

NY23: Dems Bringing in Big Money Against Hoffman
With polls clearly showing liberal Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava in meltdown mode, the Democratic Party is now focusing its campaign efforts directly at Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in the crucial upstate New York special election.
Democrats have reportedly bought $1 million in TV ads attacking Hoffman and supporting Democratic candidate Bill Owens. Hoffman campaign sources expect Owens to bring in hundreds of professional party operatives and labor-union campaigners to work in the 23rd District this weekend and continuing through Election Day, now just four days away.
The offices of the Clinton County Democratic Party here in Plattsburgh -- Owens' hometown -- were busy this afternoon, as young Democratic staffers were ready to begin a weekend of door-to-door canvassing operations. Staffers were preparing to distribute stacks of door-hanger GOTV cards that tout President Obama's endorsement of Owens, telling voters: "Those standing in the way of Change want you to say home on Tuesday -- don't let them win."
Meanwhile, a crew of reporters showed up at Duke's Diner on Tom Miller Road here in Plattsburgh where Hoffman had lunch with the city's Republican mayor, Don Kasprzak, who endorsed the Conservative Party candidate yesterday -- as did former New York Gov. George Pataki.
Asked about evidence of his campaign's gathering momentum, Hoffman replied with a smile: "We're ignoring that. We're still running like the underdog."
One indicator of how the 23rd District contest is increasingly viewed as a make-or-break referendum on the Obama administration's agenda is that Hoffman's lunch today at Duke's Diner was covered by two television crews and a correspondent for the London Times.
UPDATE: Photo of the Democratic "Change" door-hanger for Owens at my personal blog.

I'm looking for a belt that I can wear around town, but will still provide a good amount of support for a holstered handgun. Most gunbelts I've seen simply look too "old" or "western" for my tastes. No offense, but I'm just not a fan of the rattlesnake skin, basketweave, or heavily stitched look that seems to be the rage. I do have a Wilderness Tactical gun belt and a few 5.11 rigger's belt, but they scream "tacticool" and you can't really wear them with a casual suit.
I'm looking for something with a clean simple, modern look (like a Kenneth Cole or DKNY). The only one i've seen so far are passable are the Liger belts that Maxpedition sells. But even that looks a tad too "industrial".

Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
November 22, 7:03 PMPittsburgh Sports Examiner Matt Pawlikowski http://www.examiner.com/x-2703-Pitts...-in--2724-loss There were plenty of things that went wrong in the Steelers 27-24 loss to the Chiefs and now sitting at 6-4 overall, it has many wondering; do they have the intestinal fortitude to carry on into the playoffs from here? With six games remaining, just two (Oakland and Cleveland) appear as potential wins, but after the debacle in Kansas City on Sunday, even those are questionable, although the Browns seem to be playing for the 2010 Draft after a loss to the lowly Lions. So that game, you might pencil in a 'W', but the rest? It's anyone's guess now, especially when you can't play situational football against a team that not only had won just two games prior to Sunday, but was without two of its best players. Let's start from the get-go as to what went wrong, which was a lot. Special teams coach Bob Ligashesky obviously didn't have his unit ready for this one, after giving up the winning points against the Bengals via a kick return the previous week. Just 16 seconds into the contest, Jamaal Charles took it 97 yards to the house and the Chiefs had a 7-0 lead. It was beyond pathetic. How can a unit, where the head coach cuts one of its players to send a message earlier in the week, on the first play of the game allow it to happen for the fourth time in five weeks. Still, the Steelers resiliency overcame it and for the remainder of the half and the game were dominate both on offense and defense and it looked like they were ready to put a nail in the Chiefs coffin. During regulation the Steelers gained 463 yards to the Chiefs 263. Then came the blunders and maybe a little complacency. Yes, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (who left the game with a possible concussion in overtime) had a passer rating over 100 and close to 400 yards in the air. But Roethlisberger also tossed two critical interceptions in the Red Zone. Granted with the Steelers leading 17-7, the first one was a rare Heath Miller mistake, where he should have caught the ball and Andy Studebaker caught it. But the other where he tossed the ball into four Chiefs defenders was a lousy decision. Which is the best way to describe offensive coordinator Bruce Arians play calling during the game, a bunch of lousy decisions. Why has he abandoned the muddle huddle which had so much success in the Steelers five game win streak? Why doesn't he have designed plays to alleviate the pressure off Roethlisberger like a screen pass? And why has he abandoned the run when it comes to the Red Zone? Thanks to his pass happy offensive scheme, the Steelers now lead the league in the longest period of time not having a running back get into the end-zone via a run play. Not exactly Steeler football. You can also pinpoint the turning point in the game on Arians, once again his play-calling especially in the overtime session. One could say Ike Taylor should have made the interception and if he does, the outcome may be different. But Arians call when the Steelers were driving and faced a third-and- two at the 35 probably cost the team the game. The reason is simple. Rashard Mendenhall was toting the ball with confidence and his previous three runs on the Steelers possession in overtime, were seven, seven and eight yards. Instead of running it down the gut and putting Jeff Reed into his field goal range, Arians decided in his wisdom to utilize a toss play to Mewelde Moore that resulted in a three yard loss. Those three yards were the difference between Reed being in range and Reed being out of his range. Arians only calls plays though. It's no secret he doesn't believe in three yards and a cloud of dust, instead relying on pass first. That passer though is the one in pads. The guy catching the ball, the line, the guy toting the ball - they were on the field. (Well it's no secret that a lot of Steeler Nation doesn't believe in Arians either. However it's still Tomlin's responsibility to fix this. - mesa) And while there where bright spots, those players including Dick LeBeau's top ranked defense, had too many blunders especially when it came to the Red Zone to overcome- meaning now instead of regaining a hold on the North Division, the Steelers will be fighting it out for a Wild Card slot at best. |

Re: Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
I totally agree with calling a few screen passes here and there. The Chiefs blitzes today were killin us and we still didnt do anything to try and slow it down. Screens and short passes thats called making adjustments in the middle of a game and in your game plan so you dont get Ben's head ripped off.

Re: Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
Totally agree. Tomlin always preaches situational football but the Steelers have a hard time following the practice of it. Sometimes a plunge up the gut is necessary. How Mendenhall isn't getting 25 carries a game is beyond me. I think they don't use Muddle Huddle because Ben was calling to many run plays and Arians wants him throwing.

ON Ben's 2nd pick, why in the hell do they go 5 recievers on 1st and goal from the 8?. Ben tried to force the ball to Ward who had at least 3 guys around him. Spaeth was running free at the 5.
But for crying out loud go under center with a RB behind you, so at least the D has to respect the run. They do this way too much, and there is no need for it. They have a decent run blocking O LINE and good RB's. These are the types of play call and formation calls from B.A that drives people nuts. He calls a good game until he hits the red zone, then I think he gets to cute and outsmarts himself trying to get the perfect play. |

Re: Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
Yes we won a SB with him, but our offense was ranked 21st+ last year and his play calling hasn't improved much. Play calling wasn't the cause of today's loss, but it sure didnt help either. Poor execution on the field is why we lost today. It just seems when we're in close games this year and we need one or two plays to put the game away, he seems to call some stupid plays which is why everyone comes down on him.

Re: Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
geesh the offense put up around 500 yds today , what more do you want ?
... where's the articles bashing lebeau and the fourth quarter defensive brain farts ? would the offense had gained more yardage if they ran more and passed less ? hell no. ..last week against the bengals i thought they should have ran more based on how crappy the passing game was going, and it looked like mendenhall could have found room to move the chains. ben had a good day today with the exception of pass blocking breaking down towards the 4th qt. |

Re: Arians playcalling and special teams doom Steelers in 27-24 loss
Our offense is so loaded with talent it isn't even funny.
How many 1st round picks do we have offensively? Ben, Mendy, Miller, Holmes...who am I forgetting? Not to mention Ward. We've got play makers on offense. When your players consistently perform below their ability then you have to look at the coach. In this case you cannot honestly believe our offense had the 21st best players last year. The play calling is killing us and nothing will convince me otherwise. You cannot be one dimensional in the NFL and expect to win. You cannot ask your QB and your O-line to not make mistakes when the defense can pin their ears back and just come after you. Hasn't our defense proven that over the last decade or two? I mean come one people! What has been our defensive philosophy? We force offenses into become one dimensional....we shut their run down and force them to pass. When that happens our defense does it's job. Arians has a fast car and he thinks he needs to drive it w/ the pedal to the floor. Problem is you won't get very far before you wreck driving like that. We need to slow things down. We need to balance our offense out. We should not be swinging for the fences as much as we do....we strike out way too much. This was the perfect game to grind it out. Don't put Ben in a position to fail....especially in a game like this against an opponent who can't stop the run. That game plan was even worse then last weeks and I didn't think that could happen. |

TheStreet Ratings team rates ELECTRONIC ARTS INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ELECTRONIC ARTS INC (EA) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity."

Justin and Selena broke up and devastated all of their fans, and the super-heartbroken new track 'Nothing Like Us' details how Selena left him in the dust. It's intimate and unlike ANYTHING we've heard from him before!
Justin Bieber's new album Believe Acoustic has almost arrived, and the intimate new track "Nothing Like Us" tragically details the decline of his love with Selena Gomez. Check out the shocking lyrics and listen to the song below — he gets so honest about how she left him totally devastated!
The Lyrics To 'Nothing Like Us':
Lately I've been thinkin', thinkin' 'bout what we had
I know it was hard, it was all that we knew, yeah.
Have you been drinkin', to take all the pain away?
I wish that I could give you what you, deserve
'Cause nothing could ever, ever replace you
Nothing can make me feel like you do.
You know there's no one, I can relate to
And know we won't find a love that's so true.
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
I gave you everything, baby, everything I had to give
Girl, why would you push me away?
Lost in confusion, like an illusion
You know I'm used to making your day.
But that is the past now, we didn't last now
Guess that this is meant to be.
Tell me was it worth it? We were so perfect
But baby I just want you to see
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me
Do YOU think Justin Bieber Wants To Reconcile With Selena Gomez?
What a sad song! There's so much to analyze in the lyrics, but it seems like Selena, 20, was a love like no other for Justin — and he wants to make it work again! Maybe there is hope for them after all…
We're so excited to buy the whole record when it's released on Jan. 29!
Do YOU think Justin wants to reconcile with Selena, HollywoodLifers?

Millions of people move on from their first love relationship. Most say, when looking back, that they are glad to have moved on, especially if they were really young at the time. Neither of them are hurting any more than any of us have after our first big breakup. I was crushed when it happened to me, but then I got over it, met lots of other people and then found someone to share my life with once I was a mature adult and knew what i wanted in life. The only ones who lose are those who stop looking, they become desperate and try to cling to the past – which didn't even work then. Both of them should move on. I just get tired of these cryptic messages they send out – it's getting old.

this is such a cute song. i met justin and selena 2 years ago in spain and they were both beautiful, sweet people. i'm disappointed they broke up and i dont believe justin cheated on her. i really hope they get back together and i wish both of them good luck. they were both adorable and i dont believe bad stories about either of them.

Wait he's saying that he and her aren't going to find anyone better?!
Isn't that kind of insulting to selena
He's basically saying she won't find anone better than him
Wow! That's soo insulting
But whatever he then admitted it didn't last and well justin ur a kid she's a kid (well 20 is still not an age for marriage) so nah
I can't believe justin actually thought it will make it through haahahahahahhaha

Maybe if he stopped letting his new best friend Lil Twist use, oops, I mean influence him so much……..
They went to Utah with Taylor and Harry and everything was great. Lots of airport pda and he's tweeting "I miss you already." Then they go to Mexico with Lil Twist and they have a huge fight and move to seperate hotels. I think Lil Twist orchestrated the breakup so he'd be the one with the most influence over Justin. More partying with models and VIP treatment in clubs and fancy vacations for Lil Twist with Selena out of the picture. Not to mention they're working on music together.
Posted at 1:03 PM on January 24, 2013
Well no
Cause ur forgetting the fact that lil twist was Justin's BFF since the baby song got out
So why would lil twist want to break jelena NOW why didn't he do it 2 years ago?
Because its just a coincidence lil twist was there with justin
And sel was with justin the whole time
Even with lil twist
They were just hanging out
And jelena broke up because it is just hard for them
Selena doesn't love justin they way he loves her so she's just like no no no coz she's older and she had taylor lautner and nick jonas etc who she loved as much as she loved justin but sel was Justin's first love and so its hard for him but I doubt justin is still begging for her forgiveness because he wrote that song a little few days after the break up
So yeah if I was a jelena fan I would stop this fantasy they made u believe coz their relationship was too good to be true
And NO justin did not cheat on sel
On that day HL and star claim justin cheated on sel with that Jensen girl was the day jelena and haylor were spotted in Utah and then justin went home to his family for the holidays
NO cheating NO lies NO drugs no nothing
Justin only smoked a bit on that party thing after the break up but tat was IT
SO there u have it two brilliant, talented people parting ways
Respect their desicion and live with it!
Posted at 7:54 PM on January 24, 2013
No, Lil Twist was IN the Baby video, but they weren't best friends back then. That was Alfredo, right? They just gradually started spending more time together. It seems the closer they got, the more strained Justin and Selena's relationship got. It wouldn't be the first time a guy sabotaged a friends relationship for his own selfish reasons.

OMG this song :'(
Haters, please go away. Can you just not be total dicks about this one thing? Seriously.
The truth is, nobody knows what happened between them except them (and probably their camps) So no one can say "Justin is wrong" or "Selena is wrong". Your'e believing the tabloids when they make things up and claim a 'source' told them. They can make any story up for the reason they split, but unless Justin or Selena tell us themselves, we will never know the real reason.

Jelena was the most beautiful couple in my eyes, it's sad to see the sorrow in them both. Hopefully they do get back together, the song has me crying, it's really deep. Justin is such an inspiration but he's gonna try to win his girls heart back no matter what. Nobody knows the truth, I feel bad about all the rumors going around, I just hope everything turns out good in the long run. Be strong Jelena, pull through this.♥

Since you believe things you just read on the internet, those are never confirmed at all. I'm gonna give it a try.
"A source close to Selena says that she has a terrible secret she never likes to share, she's actually a green unicorn with rainbow stripes! She has been hiding this, and as soon as Justin found out, they had a huge fight that resulted in them breaking up."
Stop being so gulible and believing everything you read child.

first love is just a lesson in any relationship, it might or might not work out. with most of celebrities it truly doesn't work out becoz they make it like in a movie and for fun and that is faking, it can make them popular but are they happy in their really life?. am not surprise for their break up. Selena have to ask herself why her relationships never work out, if she wanna be in a true long relationship?

FOREX-Dollar pauses but 100 yen clearly in sight
* Dollar stalls just before 100 yen, euro before 130 yen
* Yen recovers after hitting near 4-year low versus dollar
* Option barrier at 100 yen to act as hurdle
* Yen falls seen temporary after aggressive BOJ easing
By Anooja Debnath
LONDON, April 9 (Reuters) - The dollar hit a four-year high against the yen on Tuesday, stalling just shy of the 100 mark and tipped to rise further, though it could face some resistance given the rapid pace of its ascent.
Analysts said option barriers at 100 yen and traders taking profits has slowed the yen's fall, but it was only a matter of time before it broke lower again following the aggressive easing measures announced last week by the Bank of Japan.
The dollar was last down 0.4 percent on the day at 98.98 yen , having earlier risen as far as 99.67 yen, its highest since May 2009.
"There is a likelihood we could hit 100 yen relatively soon after the BoJ's massive stimulus move," said Saeed Amen, FX strategist at Nomura.
"The risks are to the upside for dollar/yen but there are options barriers around the 100 yen level which need to go out so it could take some time... perhaps within the next week."
Traders also cited strong demand to take profit on dollar gains ahead of around 99.73 yen, the 50 percent retracement of the dollar's fall from the June 2007 peak of 124.14 yen to a record low of 75.311 set in October 2011.
Since BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda promised on Thursday to inject about $1.4 trillion into the economy in less than two years, the dollar has gained more than 7 percent against the yen while Japanese stocks have jumped.
The euro hit 129.935 yen on the EBS trading platform, its highest since January 2010, before stalling just shy of 130. It last traded down 0.2 percent at 129.06 yen.
Traders said large stop-loss buy orders would be triggered if the euro broke through 130 yen.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday that the yen was undergoing a correction from previous "excessive" rises, though he stressed the country's monetary policy was aimed at beating deflation not weakening the yen.
Dollar/yen one-month risk reversals, a measure of the relative demand for bets on the dollar rising against the yen over bets on it falling, have risen to around 0.7 in favour of yen puts since the BOJ announcement.
With the dollar stalling ahead of the 100 yen mark, however, risk reversals have dropped back to around 0.5 in favour of yen puts. But analysts said this pause was temporary.
"Dollar/yen has moved so quickly it is bound to have setbacks ahead of key levels, so I am not surprised it is not just flying through the 100 mark," said Niels Christensen, currency strategist at Nordea in Copenhagen.
"(But).. everything is pointing to a weaker yen and everyone is happy to go with the flow."
The euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.3043, having hit a three-week high of $1.3068 earlier after stop-loss buying was triggered near $1.3050.
Analysts said the euro was helped by its strong rise against the yen and by more positive sentiment sparked by gains in European equities.
Concerns about the euro zone - the bailout for Cyprus, political uncertainty in Italy and Spain's struggling fiscal and economic conditions - seem to have taken a back seat for now, strategists said.
Rating's agency Moody's warned on Tuesday that prospects of Spain missing its public deficit target this year could see its sovereign credit rating slip below investment grade.
Higher-yielding commodity currencies, which tend to benefit when equities rise, hit multi-year highs against the yen.
The Australian dollar hit its highest since July 2008 at 103.81 yen and the New Zealand dollar rose to its highest since February 2008 at 84.49 yen.
