The Great Wisconsin Union Debate
I'm not going to get carried away here; I've read the 2 lengthy threads dealing with this issue. Just a couple of facts to toss in, because I think I probably looked kind of like a goldfish, reading those threads (my mouth kept opening and closing).
Walker did say he intended to force the public employees to pay (personally, not as part of their wage package, via their employers) more toward their retirement benefits. Okay; times are tough, and I could suck that up.
The public employees in my bargaining unit did go to the bargaining table and offer to do just that--prior to the bill being introduced. The employer told us that they would not accept that concession because Walker was going to take care of it. Not real good for employer-employee good faith talks nor for anyone's morale.
Scary, really. We had a very cordial relationship; the government entity for which I work and us employees. We've been like a family, and this sudden change of attitude really hurt. Up here in the north, we don't make much money, but we're a tight knit community and we all get along and get by okay. Nobody's getting rich.
As part of the budget bill, Walker took $42 million out of our Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) Fund. All gone.
Most folks don't even know that.
There's not much complaining about the money we're paying out of each paycheck for health insurance and retirement. The biggest deal is the inability to bargain for ANYTHING except wages, as long as we don't get more than the current Consumer Price Index (which varies depending on who says what it is). So we opened bargaining, and asked for a wage increase, and they just said no. End of story. This is bad--we go through a lot of heating fuel up here, groceries aren't any cheaper, and we do have mortgages.
Can't help but think there's a lot of "Where's MY stuff?" "Why should they get more stuff then I do?" And like that. If you thnk about it, wanting to drag down folks who get benefits that you don't get in order to make us more "equal" is pretty socialist, right?
By the way, I voted for Walker and am deep in the throes of buyer's regret, as you can imagine. Talk about betrayal.
I don't know; there are many, many arguments here.
More later. What's the point of all this, anyway? More later, maybe.
We're taxpayers, too.
Wait until Rahm Emmanuel gets done busting unions and enhancing his friends in the 1% regime.
This must be the twentieth time you have repeated the Rahm Emmanuel is a union buster talking point, yet it is obvious that you don't understand the issues.
Unlike Walker, Emmanuel is attempting to work with Unions to address issues rather than seeking to destroy Unions, or to take Union busting across the country to benefit himself and the larger corporate GOP Union busting machine, like Walker has.
I and other Democrats are critical of Emmanuel because of the privatization of the public school system and I likely will not support him when he comes up for a primary challenge.
nonetheless, it is important that Foxboxes like yourself to understand the difference before parroting all the talking points that they have been fed.
I don't think that brush is a "fox box", but he does have a very cynical view that liberals embrace their own without criticism and even on this forum I don't find that to be true.
In fact I would offer that up as a "weakness" of liberals - they are soft-hearted and open to change and compromise when it appears to move towards the end objective. So they often give away the store only to find out later they were swindled!
Got your back, Elvis! Sending solidarity from New York! Did your union support Walker? (you mentioned you voted for him)
Not sure why WFP and Rahm Emmanual is being brought up in this thread. WFP is not a national party yet, had no idea they were on the ballot in Illinois but knew they had afflications in other states.
Why some feel the need to paint in such broad brushstrokes all the time instead of discussing issues at hand. Guess it strokes their ego. For the record I have never been a supporter of Emmanuel. Not ever. They should know that democrats have no problem critizng their own, unlike conservatives who must walk lock step all the time no matter the issue or incompetence before them. They don't seem to understand this.
As a member of the Working Familes Party in New YOrk, I am proud of what has been accomplished and continue to put my money and actions where my mouth is...including the WE Are one rallies organized by WFP in support of the workers in Wisconsin.
Is there really a Workers Family Party, apart from a wing of the Dem. Party?
Why any union member would vote Republican in most States is a wonderment to me.Republicans have been waging a successful war against unionism for the last 100 years. Unionism is more than a struggle for more wages and in that process of seeking better job security and safety, many unions killed the golden moose. Perhaps guilt has driven union members to vote for their nemeses. Or perhaps there are not enough union members left to make a difference in most general elections.
Is there really a Workers Family Party, apart from a wing of the Dem. Party?
Yes and no. It is not part of the dem party, it is it's own party but they run mainstream mostly dem candidates in what they call fusion voting. They have a progressive message and platform and their feeling is this is a way to vote your values but not "spoil" an election. They have candidates of their own win in New York. If more and more people vote on the WFP line and dems don't hear the voices on progressive issues, then they run their own candidates. It is very much grassroots. Just my take on it. From them:
- If we think that theres little difference between the two major party candidates, running our own candidate can send a powerful message to both the Democrats and the Republicans that working people cant be taken for granted.
In a town parade with huge turnout and strong political machines, the democrats marched, the republicans marched, and finally the Working Families Party. It sent a very powerful message and has had a big impact on local politics to straighten up and fly right.
Howdy Elvis!
As part of the budget bill, Walker took $42 million out of our Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) Fund. All gone.
Most folks don't even know that.
I read about that. Does anyone have a link to the current budget bill (2012)? Does it mention the Wisconsin Retirement System?
Hi Elvis! (my fellow king, harhar :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on something, I've been told that leading up to the election that Walker ran on curtailing the unions as one of his themes. I take it he did not from your comments above. Were there any TV commercials, debates, or interviews touting such promises? Just interested in the degree of honesty in our civic leaders. Hope it works out in your favor!
Thanks Elvis, sing on!
So typical of the label man who makes empty accusations about who watches what or follows what. Shameful.
And I'm not defending Walker. Nor am I going to look away from the Democrats who are causing equal harm to unions and the middle class. And most of you do indeed paint that party with angel's wings, 99% of the time.
I'm not bought by any party and certainly not a follower just to "fit" in here.
Maggie, who are the working family candidates? Please name a few.
Mom, you're a smart woman.
I've never liked Rahm, either. When Obama appointed him Chief of Staff, it validated my earlier beliefs that he was a corporatist. I'm glad he's gone from the Administration - not that things have really changed.
I read a lot of places that Walker DID NOT campaign on union issues, didn't even mention them. I'd like to know if someone can disprove that - with links to speeches, etc.
In this day and age, it is impossible for me to understand why anyone, who is not in th 1%, would vote Republican. I have voted for Republicans in the past, but the party has changed so much that there is no way in h* 1 1 that I would even consider it now.
Brushworks, not sure what angers you about WFP every time I mention it. You can feel free to check out their website for more info. I mentioned upthread about fusion voting and when they run their own strictly WFP candidates and what their philosophy is in this regard. I don't care if you support them or not but don't understand your condensation as if they have no weight or purpose, nothing could be further from the truth. I know the work they do and I am all about action, not talk about not supporting anybody and sitting on the sidelines because you might have to work within the system you despise for a while. That is how change is effected. So easy to sit on the sidelines and hate everyone and not participate. What an insult to our democracy and what soldiers think they are dying for...
Most of the time, the Working Families Party cross endorses Democrats or (occasionally) Republicans who promise to fight for issues that matter to working people. But we do run our own candidates, if we think we can win. Letitia James was elected to the New York City Council, Luci McKnight was elected to County Legislature in Albany, and Wayne Hall was elected mayor of Hempstead, Long Island, all solely on the WFP line.
So now you don't like Walker but your all for Kascich? Whats the dif...or no tell us again how you have no party but then get angry at WFP or OWS which are doing something different. Very contradictory.
Whew! My head is spinning and my post-nasal drip is finding something allergic in this thread. Why ask if Walker during campaigning spoke about doing in the unions. React to what he has done, with the assistance of Republican-dominated legislature. If a Democrat and Democrat-dominated legislature rammed though force union rules on all employees in the State, can you imagine the uproar from the peanut gallery.
vgkg--yes, Walker did state during his campaign that he intended to curtail public employees' wages and benefits in order to help with the deficit without new taxes. I figured I could live with that, to help out. Walker did NOT say he intended to raid the WRS (Wisconsin Retirement Fund).
I know, it sounds dumb to be willing to accept less than one currently has. So I'm naive and hopeful.
Now Walker is doing a study to determine whether he should dissolve the WRS and change it into IRA's. We all know that is a really bad idea. This is why many are taking early retirement. Some of us have been paying into the WRS for a very long time, to the exclusion of other retirement plans.
You see, that 5.8% has always been a major part of our wages. We've been lucky to get 2% for the last several years, which doesn't take care of inflation, so we've been going the wrong direction anyway. This talk of taking this irresistably fat and juicy fund is making a lot of public employees very uneasy, me included.
Also, Walker did not speak to his intent to "union bust" by taking away our ability to bargain. That's very harsh.
I'll wait and see what you all do with this.
Thanks Elvis, Thank you very muchhhhh.
Marshall, a curious mind wants to know the truth about this dude, wish I could do something about Walker but can't vote in WI :)...but that being said do vote out dishonest creeps in my state government that are the same...and on balance that's remains to be the GOP as they have mastered the art of deception far better than the demos.
This is from a PDF by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. It does not included the giveaway of our State Commerce Dept., the cronyism jobs, the Walkergate scandal, or the latest bills not yet passed (ending wetland protection, allowing mining with no restrictions, and the removal of protection from employment discrimination).

Now Walker is doing a study to determine whether he should dissolve the WRS and change it into IRA's. We all know that is a really bad idea. This is why many are taking early retirement. Some of us have been paying into the WRS for a very long time, to the exclusion of other retirement plans.
This is why the collective bargaining rights have to go--paving the way to loot Wisconsin's Retirement System. You can kiss your money goodbye.
Then there's this:
Feds reject Walker request for waiver from health insurance mandate:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services today rejected a waiver requested by the Walker administration that would have allowed Wisconsin insurance companies to keep more than 20 percent of their premium dollars for profits and overhead.
The request for a waiver from the Medical Loss Ratio requirement under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act was made in October by the Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's administration.
The Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance requested an adjustment of the medical loss ratio (MLR) standard to 71 percent, 74 percent, and 77 percent, for reporting years 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively.
However, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services rejected the Wisconsin application for a waiver today.
How many children lost their healthcare again?
The WI GOTP just killed equal pay protection.
SB202 passed - taking out Equal Pay Act
Our Wetlands lost protection as well. "Realtors, builders and property rights advocates pushed for the legislation, saying that current law hamstrings development. The aim, they said, was to balance environmental interests and the rights of property owners. But groups such as the Wisconsin Wetlands Association and Trout Unlimited said the changes leaned too heavily toward allowing wetland destruction and would cause long-term harm in many locales.
"In a statement, Walker said he looked forward to signing the wetlands bill."
As one of the best pension funds in the world, the Wisconsin Retirement System:
-- Has almost $80 billion in assets
-- Has over 572,000 participants
-- Serves approximately 20% of Wisconsinites
-- Is the ninth largest pension fund in country, and thirtieth largest in world
-- Has been ridiculously well-managed. It is one of only 4 pension funds in the country that meet strict criteria for being classified as fully funded. There is no unfunded liability in this system, meaning taxpayers are not on the hook to make up a shortfall. This is in stark contrast to pension funds in other states which have been intentionally and recklessly underfunded over the course of years.
In the midst of the destruction that was Walker's budget, there was also the little tidbit about the "study" of the Wisconsin Retirement System, the pension fund for Wisconsin's public employees. This study was originally part of Act 10, the infamous budget repair bill, but was taken out of that legislation by necessity when the collective bargaining portion of the bill was jammed through the Wisconsin Senate in the dark of night. It didn't take long for Sen. Darling and Rep. Vos to bring this study back via the biennial budget.
...Rep. Vos happens to be the current Wisconsin chair of the American Legislative Exchange Coucil (ALEC). ... one of the areas of ALEC's model legislation deals with turning pension funds into defined contribution plans, commonly known as the 401K.
...what was actually in the WRS study included in Wisconsin's last budget? Well, Representative (ALEC) Vos mandated that the study had to address the issue of establishing a defined contribution plan for public employees participating in WRS. That means employees invest a certain amount of money, presumably with our good friends from the financial sector that so recently tanked our economy, with no guarantees of principle protection, let alone a rate of return or benefit payout. Basically, the employees take their retirement to the casino that is our current stock market and let the chips fall where they may.
The second issue dictated by the study was to let employees completely opt out of WRS. Forget retirement security at all.
So if the Wisconsin Retirement System is fully funded, and is one of the strongest pension funds in the country, why would Walker and his cronies attempt to "fix" what isn't broken? [FOLLOW THE MONEY in] ...Walker's gubernatorial campaign. In Scott Walker's 2010 campaign for Governor, he received almost a million dollars from the financial and banking sector. $958,414 to be exact. To these people, and the groups like ALEC that represent them, the WRS is a cash cow that they would love to sink their talons into.
Well, there are several tactics they will employ to sway public opinion. These tactics will be wrapped up in the glossy, polished media messages that only big money can buy. Ads will flood our television channels, and talking points will be faithfully hammered, at a fevered pitch, by conservative talk radio.
Walker will first try to convince Wisconsinites that the WRS is in trouble. The statistics regarding WRS discussed above show this is an astronomical lie. Along those lines, Walker will try to convince people that the taxpayers of Wisconsin are funding this pension, and will also be on the hook for even more money due to the fund being in "crisis." Again, more lies. Don't take my word for it: Forbes magazine, not commonly known as a liberal rag, ran a fantastic story recently called "The Wisconsin Lie Exposed-Taxpayers Actually Contribute Nothing to Public Employee Pensions." This article should be required reading for everyone participating in this debate.
Another tactic, already employed in the collective bargaining debate in this state, is to divide Wisconsin's workers and fuel anger at public employees. When people are hurting, they look for someone to blame, and Walker has done a masterful job at turning working people against each other. Read my post "Compassion Lost" to see how the right wing in this country has exploited this pain. They have fostered an attitude of "every man for himself" when it comes to survival in our society. However, it actually goes farther than that. They have created an attitude of "if I am hurting, I want my neighbor to hurt too." That is a shockingly un-American value, and is not the sense of community that made our nation great.
It is also a terrible misplacement of anger. Teachers, nurses, firefighters, police officers, and snow plow drivers had nothing to do with the collapse of our economy in 2008. The rich have become extraordinarily more wealthy over the past three decades, and it is truly at the point where our nation consists of "those that have everything" and the rest of us. The wealthy interests in the financial sector created a house of cards for their own enrichment, and walked away with all of the money when that house collapsed. To add insult to injury, we even bailed them out for their trouble.
Finally, Walker and his cronies will tout the "freedom" of employees to do what they want with their money. Just understand that this freedom is strikingly similar to the freedom Paul Ryan intended to give seniors by providing them with $6,000 vouchers instead of actual Medicare.
Make no mistake about it: the first dominos are being lined up in Wisconsin to destabilize WRS. The study included in the last budget was the first step. Wisconsin Assembly Bill 539 is the next step.
Here is a link that might be useful: SOURCE FOR THIS POST
On February 12, 2012, Representative Strachota, a Republican from West Bend, introduced AB 539. This bill would allow newly hired employees in the University of Wisconsin system to "opt out" of the Wisconsin Retirement System and to participate in a privately-managed defined contribution plan. AB 539 is clearly designed to get a foot in the door when it comes to privatizing WRS and ultimately weakening the fund. It is similar to the union busting of Act 10: if you can starve the unions financially, they will cease to exist as meaningful entities. If you let people opt out of WRS, you can starve the fund to the point where it cannot effectively complete its mission.
I recently came across a video clip where Scott Walker was talking to an interviewer on the Daily Caller about legacy costs. Let me be as blunt as possible: the term "legacy costs" is one of those great Republican euphemisms.
"Legacy costs" means pensions, the things working class people rely on to survive when they get old. To the far right, pensions are a nuisance that need to be eliminated, so they are called "legacy costs" to conjure all the negative associations that term brings to mind. The term is similar to the euphemism "reform," which, in Republican parlance, means to slash the h**l out of some program that benefits working or poor people. Governor Walker had this to say about "legacy costs:"
"I think any of us who are honest understand if you don't get legacy costs under control, it's a virus that will eat up and eat up and eat up more and more of your budget. It's the same problem that Chrysler and GM got into, and state and local governments have to fix it."
Read the statistics I provided about WRS, and then look at the above narrative again. It is direct evidence of Walker's plan to make the public believe that the Wisconsin Retirement System fund is somehow in trouble, and that the tax payers will be forced to bail it out sometime in the near future. There is no other way to characterize this narrative than a monstrous lie.
Wisconsinites need to be extremely vigilant in their defense of the Wisconsin Retirement System. It remains the one area relatively unmarred by the Walker administration, and it is in the interest of all our citizens to keep it that way. However, we also must understand, in no uncertain terms, that the enemy is already at the gates with respect to the integrity and security of the Wisconsin Retirement System.

It's a very big honey pot, lenam, and Walker wants it BAD. It's all about taking our retirement money. Some of us are still paying union dues and plotting, but many are just trudging along like sheep, feeling grateful for their jobs.
It's pretty bad, but we will eventually rise again.
I am truly dismayed at these events. I only taught in the UW system for two years but recall how solid the pension system seemed to be in the eyes of staff and faculty.
The choice offered now is a job paying reduced wages and benefits now or a decent pension in retirement. Take away the solid pension plan and extend the dreadful choices.
The Truth about WRS: What's at Risk
Posted by SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin on March 1, 2012
'Last Friday, the Walker Administration sent an email to state employees in response to increasing concerns about an effort by Republican leaders to weaken the highly-regarded and financially stable Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and do away with traditional public employee pensions.
'The email appears to be intended to calm fears about the Administration's intentions. Don't fall for it! No one should consider this email as a sign that things are all right as far as the WRS and your pension are concerned. The email message should be treated as a 'red alert' to anyone who has a stake in the WRS or who cares about retirement security for all working people.
'The Walker email acknowledges that the WRS is strong and financially sound. It also acknowledges that no one has the authority to modify already-earned benefits. However, the email is silent on the future of the WRS and pensions of current employees. This is what's at risk! Letis examine the record and statements made by Walker officials to understand the struggle ahead...
'To be clear: some Republicans are gearing up to make changes to the pension system that will destabilize it and threaten worker retirement security. This is not idle talk or hyperbole. Here are the facts:
'...ALEC and a Wisconsin-based conservative group, the Wisconsin Public Policy Research Institute (WPRI), are working to dismantle public employee pensions and privatize pension systems around the nation and here in Wisconsin.
'Two years ago, the WPRI issued a report on the WRS, stating that it has 'clearly overstayed its welcome', is 'far out of the mainstream' and urged Wisconsin's next governor to 'bring radical reform' to the WRS.
'It didn't take Walker long to carry out the first stage of 'radical reform' that the WPRI advocated. The most obvious first strike against workers came in Act 10 which, among other things, requires all current WRS employee participants to pay for the current annual costs of their pensions (known as the 'employee-required pension contribution').
'The second stage of 'radical reform' is the little-known, five-year vesting requirement for newly-hired state workers contained in in the last budget (Act 32). In practical terms, this means that someone who has been making pension copayments and who leaves state service before the five-year mark will not be part of the system. The new vesting rule is important in the context of the next phase of radical reform that the Walker Administration may drop on working people soon, if they get their way.
'The third stage of 'radical reform' is in the works in the form of a study of the WRS that Walker pushed through as part of his budget. The study must address: (a) establishing a defined contribution --that is, a 401-K style plan- for employees; and (b) giving employees the right to decide not to pay (that is, to 'opt out' of paying) the employee-required pension payment mandated under Act 10.
[ . . . ]
'Allowing workers to 'opt out' of paying the employee-required contribution will destabilize the WRS and will harm retirement security of current employees. The strength of the WRS is dependent on the participation of all workers in the system. If workers are allowed to opt out of the WRS, this decision will ultimately destabilize the entire system as well as the retirement security of WRS members.
'Think of the WRS as brick wall - strong and solid - with 572,000 bricks, one representing every active and inactive member as well as retirees. Any time a public employee would choose to 'opt out' of the retirement system, it'll be like removing a single brick from the wall. At first, maybe only handful of workers will remove their bricks, and that won't make a big difference to the structural soundness of the wall. But, over time, more chucks of the wall will be removed, and some workers may feel they have no choice but to 'remove their brick' from the wall. The 'wall' inevitably comes crashing down, and by then, it will be too late to fix it. Walker and his right wing allies will have destroyed the WRS without using an obvious wrecking ball, and thousands of people will face uncertainty in their golden years."

A sad anniversary in Wisconsin today - on March 9, 2011 the GOTP violated the open meetings law to ram through their evil bill.
Here is a heart-stopping single minute of video of the Wisconsin Republicans breaking our open meetings law. You can hear the chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" from the capitol rotunda outside the chambers.
There will be candlelight vigils around Wisconsin tonight, and a rally tomorrow at the capitol.
Time for general strikes. Unfortunately, there are so few unionists left and oh so many who would rather have a job now than longer term security that a strike would be hard to sustain. Does the new law ban strikes, criminalizing such action?
March 9/10, 2011 we were very close to a general strike. I believe it was only averted because Wisconsinites have the option of recalling their politicians, and diverted their energy into that.
Today, I was at the capitol with 60,000+ surrounding the square - one year later.

Judge grants injunction halting enforcement of voter ID law
"A Dane County judge today granted a permanent injunction preventing enforcement of the state's voter ID law, ruling the Legislature and guv exceeded their authority in enacting the requirement.
"Judge Richard Niess noted in his eight-page ruling the state Constitution guarantees every resident 18 or older the right to vote and only allows the government to exclude those who have been convicted of a felony and have not had their rights restored or judged incompetent.
""The government may not disqualify an elector who possesses those qualifications on the grounds that the voter does not satisfy additional statutorily-created qualifications not contained in Article III, such as a photo ID," Niess wrote."
[Wisconsin] GAB to seek shorter extension that could put recall general election June 5
"The GAB today approved a shorter extension than what the staff had originally sought to finish its review of recall petitions against Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
"The agency expects to go to court Wednesday to seek an extension to March 30 to finish its review. If granted, any primaries would be held May 8 with a general election to follow June 5.
"The staff's original suggestion could have resulted in a primary May 15 and a general election June 12."

Peter Holmes a Court hopes legacy of friend Will Poovey, killed in wedding party train accident, will inspire
- From: PerthNow
- August 03, 2014
PETER Holmes a Court and his new wife Alissa Everett want the memory of a friend killed in a train crash on the eve of their African wedding to inspire others.
The WA-raised millionaire this week returned to his New York home after spending his honeymoon in an African hospital recovering from his injuries.
Will Poovey, an American father of two, died when a tram carrying the wedding party at Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls was hit by a freight train on July 1. Twenty people were injured.
The newlyweds this week shared a photograph taken the day after their wedding.
It shows them holding a handwritten sign with the word "WILL" as part of a project they hope will inspire people.
"If it gets shared by others, and it helps people or raises more money for the safe houses in Congo then I guess that is a good thing," said Mr Holmes a Court, who co-owns the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby team with actor Russell Crowe.Originally published as Inspiration found in grief

Premier League - Managers: Harry hails comeback
Mon, 29 Nov 07:59:00 2010
Managerial reaction to Sunday's Premier League matches, with Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp ecstatic with his team after they came from behind to beat Liverpool.
Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool
Harry Redknapp: "They all showed great character but to come back again is just amazing. I've had teams in the past when you go behind and you might as well go home. With this team we come back, we keep going, there are goals, we are exciting and we are never out of a game. I think we have the ability to always create chances, that's for sure. Aaron (Lennon)'s back firing, he's sharp again and he's important. Overall I'm delighted with the performance. They started well, they were dangerous, I thought it was a fantastic game and they certainly played their part Liverpool, they were always a threat."
Roy Hodgson: "To lose it in injury time in the way we did of course is very hard to take. I'm very disappointed for the players, very disappointed that we didn't go away from here with at least one point which would have been something we could have been proud of. Unfortunately it's a defeat and defeats hit you very hard. There is no doubt about it, we missed some very good chances today. We played some good football to get ourselves in that position. But Tottenham are a very good, dangerous team and they also create chances."
Newcastle United 1-1 Chelsea
Chris Hughton: "I think a draw was the right result. I always knew we would get a reaction to last week because of the quality and character in the team. We wanted a response to the poor result at Bolton and that's what we got. We were up against a top class team who wanted to bounce back and the game was every bit as tough as we thought. There is no bigger test than Chelsea after we lost our two centre-halves last week. There are times when we will be tested and we've got to work around what we've got."
Carlo Ancelotti: "We are not happy. Happy for the performance – we didn't start well and conceded a goal too easily. The reaction was good. The end of first half and second half was good. We had total control of the game but to win we needed to convert our chances. We have to keep going, stay focused and try to win. But at the moment we're not able to convert our chances. We played good football. Sometimes we're unlucky and sometimes we need to focus more on our shooting. It's important to respond. It's an opportunity to show our character and personality. It's a motivation to do better. I'm disappointed with the last four games. To score one goal away is just not enough."

G. Nimbus-What can be eating it? Need help
I had a beautiful healthy geranium Nimbus plant but something is eating it and I'll loose it if I don't do something about it real quick. It's in a garden that has many other hardy geraniums and they are all doing just fine. Could it be chipmunks, which I have, or it could be an insect pest of some kind. Can anyone give me some suggestions of what it can be or what to do about it.
I posted a similar message - I have a beautiful potted geranium in my front yard and something is eating all the buds!!!! I am moving it onto my deck and see what happens - I can't decide if the deer have taken up eating geraniums along with everything else I have in the garden - Are your leaves being eaten or just the flower buds? When I am pretty sure I have a fungus or plant "bugs", I will pour a pot of soapy water over the whole plant and most times the problem gets solved.
Reply to Barbara: My geranium is a hardy geranium. No, the buds aren't being eaten. It doesn't get to grow enough to have buds. The new leaves are being eaten just as soon as they develop.I think that I have solved my problem though. Yesterday I found about 5 slugs on the plant. I took it out of it's area in the garden, washed it completely, roots and all and have now got it in a pot with new soil. For all of you folks that read this, don't believe all the articles about G Nimbus, that say it has no enemies or diseases. Slugs love them. I don't know whether this will help you, Barbara, but I'm hoping it will. I'm also hoping I can save this poor geranium that is trying so hard to survive. Good luck with your geranium. Erlene

1997 Ford F-250 Extended Cab Lariat 3dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I have owned this truck for 11 years and have done very little other than scheduled maintenance. I have hauled trailers up mountains, gone 4 wheeling over very large boulders, driven very long stretches with no problems what- so-ever. I have 198,000 miles on the odometer and have been amazed by the continued reliability of this truck. Ford has my business for life!

This truck does everything well. What's amazing today, 13 years later, is its reliability and it drives new. "Built Ford Tough" is true. This isnt a commercial, just 13 years of ownership. I bet the truck has 13 more years left. Has 120K now and should do 250k. After 1200 miles, always used Mobil1. Replaced shocks and tires normal interval. Oxygen sensor replaced once and just changed the plugs at 120K and engine sounds new and runs out perfect.

1997 Ford F-250 Extended Cab HD XL 2dr Extended Cab 4WD LB
We bought this truck from a drilling company after it had 155,000 miles on it. Its a tank. The drilling company obviously did not take it easy on it and we have had minimal problems with it. The head gasket blew on it and some minor brake issues. With the 7.5L 460 and a 5 spd it has alot of power. The fuel milage is not the best because of the large v8. The truck is very solid and reliable. Suspension is very strong for hauling and towing. Lots of power and braking control with large trailers.

1997 Ford F-250 Extended Cab HD XLT 2dr Extended Cab 4WD LB
Great truck. I've had a lot of trucks
in my business, many Fords.
My experience has always been a big
truck with a little engine and lots of
gears. Poor power to weight and
constant shifting.
The Navistar DIT diesel is definetly
the way to go with a truck. When the
turbo spools up, there's no catching
it. It'll pull a house off the
foundation and gets good mileage (for a
truck) as well. There are plenty of
chatrooms for Q & A on this setup if
you have a problem, and the guys will
give you lots of responses to keep it

1997 Ford F-250 Extended Cab HD XLT 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I've had a little trouble with the
capacitor on the diesel. However, Ford
has a 3rd generation capacitor that is
now reliable. I added a leaf all around
to raise the truck, rather than using a
lift kit.Happy with the results. This
truck is extremely reliable and will do
anything and get me anywhere. Put 265
tires on it right away.
Plastic trim on the inside of the XLT
is fragile Rear seat is ok, although
we've had teenagers sit in the back
across the country twice.
If you get a diesel, get the manual
transmission. You get the great
advantage of using engine compression
off-road and in poor road conditions.

After driving this truck for snow
plowing, pulling a 30 foot boat, and as
a daily driver I have come to one
conclusion, that this truck can perform
at anytime you want. This is a great
truck for doing anything.

This is in USA, and this happens all the time: Justice for those with deep pockets. Why do you think that so many cave in for RIAA at the mere threat of a law suit? Note that these tactics don't work in Europe.
This poor guy. I hope things turn out okay for him. Conversely, I hope the lawyers are eaten alive by a cauldron full of insane, demonic, snow-weasels. Or another group of lawyers. Whichever is more painful.
If the lawyers then wanted him to pay their fees then they could sue him. In this case, I would expect him to turn up on the first day with a motion to dismiss unless they can p
Jason Tomczak is NOT the lead plantiff.
He was listed as lead-plantiff when the complaint was originally filed on October 19th, 2005.
( documentation here: http://www.ifoapplestore.com/blog/nano_lawsuit.pd
But the lawyers amended their lawsuit 6 days later (October 25th, 2005) naming James M. Wimmer as the lead-plantiff ( documentation: http://www.hbsslaw.com/files/1ST_Amd_Complaint%20
But by the time Jason was dropped, the damage was done. He is referenced all over the 'net as a sue-happy whiner.
The lawyers are NOT suing Jason to stop him from dropping out. In fact, as best I can tell from Jason's letter, he is suing them for all the problems they caused him.
BTW: Its significant to note that this is the same law firm suing Apple over hearing-loss issues related to iPods.
Not a terrible idea but.. the American Bar Association is largely a legal-profession advocacy group and doesn't have much of anything to do with licensing or with punishing unethical behavior. For that you'd want to contact the appropriate department of the state bar association for the state in which the case was filed.I think you or your lawyers would be well advised to immeadiately contact the ABA (American Bar Association) and talk to them about your situation. The simple fact they cannot produce a client-attorney agreement when a lawsuit has been filed in your name is pretty damning. More then that, their behaviour after the fact is plain out wrong and the ABA may be able to help redress that.

In an Exchange Server 2003 environment, after the SMTP service is restarted, the Store service is restarted, or the server is restarted, the e-mail recipients may receive old messages that were sent several days before. Or, the e-mail senders may receive Non-Delivery Report (NDR) messages for the delayed e-mail messages that they previously sent.
When this problem occurs, these messages are not visible in the SMTP queues in Exchange System Manager. However, these messages are visible the SMTP Temp tables in the mailbox store. Also, the e-mail senders do not receive an indication that the messages are held by the Exchange Server 2003 server until they receive the NDR messages when one of the services is restarted or when the server is restarted.
When the store starts, the GuidTimestamp is generated on the store side and passed over to Internet Information Services (IIS) store driver (Drviis) through a proxy. However, in some cases, the information that contains the GuidTimestamp is sent to the store driver two times, and IIS receives a different time stamp than the Store receives. When a new message is rendered, the store stamps and submits the messages to the send queue, and then the GuidTimeStamp is changed on the IIS side. Sometimes the messages are not delivered to the next hop on the first try because a remote SMTP host has "Greylisting" enabled. In this case, the SMTP host sends a Temporary Error (4.7.1) message back to the sender that indicates that the sender should retry the transmission of a message in a few minutes. In this scenario, the message is set to a "retry" state by the SMTP service. When the "retry" happens the time stamp on the message is compared with the time stamp of the store driver. When there is a mismatch, the message is considered invalid, and it not delivered until the SMTP service or IIS is restarted.

The images are startling from the world's oldest satellite. Bright, color images of the Chinese flag have been transmitted back from China's 'Jade Rabbit' rover vehicle. The occasion marked the first lunar "soft landing" in nearly 40 years.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The landing marked a huge advance in China's space program. The Yutu, or Jade Rabbit, was deployed several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe landed on the moon.
Both the rover and lander began taking photos of each other, including the one that showed the bright red and yellow stars of the Chinese flag.
China's official news agency, Xinhua said the photographing began at about 11:42 pm after the rover moved to a spot a few meters away from the lander. Transmitted live to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang were both on hand to view the interplanetary broadcast.
China is only third country to complete a lunar rover mission. The United States and the former Soviet Union haven't sent an astronaut into space in 10 years. The landing was the first of its kind since the former Soviet Union's mission in 1976.
Part of China's plans include establishing a permanent space station by 2020, Their space program eventually wants to send a human to the moon. The landing is being cited as proof of China's rising global stature and technological advancement.
Ma Xingrui, chief commander of China's lunar program, declared the mission a "complete success" after the transmission of the photographs.
A message from the party's Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission branded the touchdown a "milestone" in China's space program. "One Giant Leap for China," read the headline in Hong Kong's Sunday Morning Post, echoing the words of American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon in 1969.
The potential to extract the moon's resources has been touted as a key reason behind Beijing's space program, with the moon believed to hold uranium, titanium, and other mineral resources.
"China wants to go to the moon for geo-strategic reasons and domestic legitimacy," China space expert Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island said.

'Buck Wild' set for Victoria premiere (video)

Updated Nov. 4, 2013 at 5:04 a.m.
Zombies have taken a big bite out of Victoria.
Thursday night, zombies will take over the silver screen at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts as "Buck Wild" premieres in the Crossroads.
The movie, written by Matthew Albrecht and Tyler Glodt, was shot in 2011 in Goliad and other Crossroads locations.
This will be the first time for people who were extras or helped fund the movie to see the finished product, said Albrecht, of Victoria.
Since the film was shot, he and Glodt, who is not from Victoria but has family from Cuero, have taken the film to several differentnational and international film festivals. The film has also collected a number of awards along its journey, including the Cinema Dulce Best of the Fest from the Hill Country Film Fest in Fredericksburg.
"This will be the most close to home and close to heart," he said.
The one-night premiere is sponsored by the Victoria Texas Independent Film Festival and presented by the Victoria Television Group.
"Its a great opportunity to showcase local talent," said Anthony Pedone, executive director of the film festival.
The movie extras include area celebrities such as Victoria Sheriff Michael T. O'Connor, Walter Womack and the news anchors of News Channel 25, who had cameos.
Pedone, of Victoria, reviewed the film for the film festival, but wasn't able to show it because Albrecht and Goldt had committed to a premiere in Dallas the same weekend.
"It's absolutely fantastic. Great. Technically executed," Pedone said. "Great acting, tight story and funny."
He said he's not a big fan of horror movies but said "Buck Wild" did a great job of combining the comedy and horror genres.
After the premiere, Pedone will moderate a question-and-answer session with the directors of the "Buck Wild" on stage at the Welder Center. Writers Albrecht and Glodt will be there, along with one of the producers, Christian Sosa.
"Buck Wild" is expected to be released in February by Millennium Films, which is a major distributor of independent films, through DVD rental companies, including RedBox, Netflix, AppleTV and On Demand, as well as retailers.
