Crimson Corner 11/17: Utah football beats Stanford, Arizona game previewPosted Nov 17th - 5:40pm by Robert Jackson and Josh Furlong
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utes used an impressive defensive performance in regulation and an equally impressive offensive performance in extra time to beat Stanford 20-17 in double overtime.
Defensive end Nate Orchard became Utah's single season sack record holder with 3.5 sacks against the Cardinal. Orchard now has 16.5 on the season, with two regular season games plus postseason play remaining.
Quarterback Travis Wilson was a perfect 5-5 passing in the overtime periods, including three critical throws — a 25 yard pass to Kaelin Clay on the first play of overtime, a 10-yard pass to Westlee Tonga over the middle on 3rd and 7 that gave Utah a first down and, of course, the game-winning 2-yard slant to Kenneth Scott in the second overtime.

Offense rebounds for Utes, defense loses Reggie PorterPosted Aug 13th - 2:50pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Wednesday's practice for the University of Utah football team was marked with some good news and bad news.
While the offense bounced back from its lackluster performance in yesterday's scrimmage, the defense learned some troubling news that cornerback Reggie Porter will miss the entire 2014 season with a knee injury.
"It is very disappointing," Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham told the media. "He'll have surgery in a couple weeks. It is a big blow."
Whittingham 'disappointed' in QB play during fall scrimmagePosted Aug 12th - 4:31pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Facing a relentless pass rush for most of the day, Utah's quarterbacks took a step back from the progress they had made throughout fall camp.
"I wasn't impressed with any quarterback," Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said to describe the performance of the six QBs that received reps during Tuesday's scrimmage at Rice-Eccles. "It was disappointing because they've all been really sharp up until today, however in a game-like situation we didn't respond."
The quarterbacks combined for a not so good 15-of-44 passing, and while they didn't throw any interceptions, two handoff exchanges were dropped, both of which were recovered by the defense, and one was returned for a 89-yard fumble return for a touchdown by safety Tevin Carter.
Position battles heating up as Utes near fall scrimmagesPosted Aug 11th - 5:04pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utes will look to settle some depth chart position battles as they hold two scrimmages this week, the first of the fall camp session. The scrimmages are scheduled for Tuesday and Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
"Coming out of Saturday's scrimmage we have to have most all of our questions answered, because at that point we'll only be 12 days away from the game (vs. Idaho State). We have to prepare for the game and we can only get a couple groups reps," Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said.
One of the key position battles underway at camp is at quarterback between returning starter Travis Wilson and incoming transfer Kendal Thompson from Oklahoma. While Wilson was listed at No. 1 on the latest depth chart released Monday morning, Whittingham made it a point to say the competition isn't over yet.
Charitable U: Zane Beadles donates $750K to football programPosted Jul 28th - 3:32pm by Robert Jackson
Zane Beadles has always been one to go above and beyond.
While at Hillcrest High School, Beadles never missed a game and was named to the all-state team.
At the University of Utah, he became the fourth Ute offensive lineman to become a first-team All-American. He was also a four-year starter for the Utes.
Utah football: Defense holds upper hand in scrimmagePosted Apr 12th - 2:29pm by Utah Athletics
SALT LAKE CITY — Other than a showcase of speed by running back Troy McCormick and receiver Dres Anderson, the defense held the upper hand in Saturday's scrimmage.
A crowd of several thousand basking in the sun enjoyed several big plays, including a 60-yard touchdown run by the speedy McCormick, a 44-yard touchdown pass from Travis Wilson to Dres Anderson and a 29-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Hipolito Corporan.
Offense starting to click for Utes in week two of Camp KylePosted Mar 26th - 11:40am by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — Tuesday marked the beginning of week two of Utah's spring football practices, and while the week prior was dominated by the defense, it was the offense that made some strides — especially in the passing game.
All quarterbacks looked sharper on day four of Camp Kyle, which also marked the first day of full contact this spring for the Utes. Execution, mechanics and pocket presence all were improved as the offense finally got in a rhythm after being seemingly stagnant through the first few days.
Six players are taking reps at quarterback this spring with two more entering the program this fall. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham thinks the competition level and overall depth is a good thing for the program.
Utah football: Travis Wilson back with Utes as spring camp beginsPosted Mar 19th - 3:15pm by Robert Jackson
SALT LAKE CITY — You could feel the sense of urgency up on the hill.
After back-to back-losing seasons for the first time in 23 years, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham made a bold decision this past offseason, hiring Dave Christensen to be the Utes' new offensive coordinator in hopes of bucking that losing trend.
There were plenty of new faces at the Spence and Cleone Eccles Football Center as the Utes kicked off their first spring practice of 2014 Tuesday afternoon — both new incoming recruits and new offensive staff hires. But it was one familiar face that drew the most attention.
Pac-12 Tournament picksPosted Mar 12th - 11:54am by Robert Jackson and Josh Furlong

Should we view wealth hoarding as dysfunctional as any other form of hoarding?
We tend to view those who acquire and accumulate "stuff" endlessly as hoarders who are dysfunctional and requiring health care assistance. Therefore, those whose lives are an endless accumulation of wealth and who use that wealth for little more than acquiring ever more "stuff" and/or endlessly stimulating as many pleasure centers as they can as often as then can seem to fall into that dysfunctional category.
Closing Statement from william clegg
We had quite a lively debate ensued on this topic. The majority of comments suggest that hoarding wealth is, in fact, dysfunctional and many offered insightful ways in which they saw that dysfunction being played out in the real world. They also point out that the harm caused by a wealth hoarder is generally imposed upon their community while for other forms of hoarding it is the hoarder themselves who bears the brunt of that behaviour.
There were a few who were opposed to the hoarding label and who appeared to have no problem with the endless accumulation of wealth, largely because they seem to believe that the wealth was still being invested but offered no validation of this premise. As well that seems to be a rather specious argument if all the investing does is acquire more wealth.
It was pointed out a number of times that hoarding can have very real health issues involved, both psychological and physical. However, whether those health issues are as problematic for the wealth hoarder who has estates with lots of gates, security and staff to hide behind as they are in the poor and middle class who are far more visible is uncertain. Although the number of wealthy celebrities who have overdosed on drugs and/or alcohol abuse may be one indicator.
But the most humorous comments appeared to take real umbrage with the mere suggestion that wealth was being hoarded and even employed old 20th century commie fear mongering to make their - rather dull - point. .
It seems that for the majority of contributors hoarding is hoarding and as such is as dysfunctional as other forms of hoarding but that we all experience the consequences of that dysfunction. .
Oct 24 2013: I think we have two separate concepts here.
1. Does excessive self-indulgence qualify as a dysfunction?
2. Does excessive self-indulgence hinder the progress of others?
Spending money on yourself isn't indicative of a dysfunction. However, when the behavior begins to have negative impacts on the person, and the person refuses to correct the problem it becomes a dysfunction.
Let's look at the latter in a different way. Does the accumulation of wealth by a select group hinder the progress of others? We need to ask ourselves a couple questions.
1. Does this accumulation of wealth inhibit others from achieving the same state?
2. Does the system itself have the capacity for all people to achieve the same state.
Let's look at it like this.
(++++++++++) Total resources available.
(Poor(+) ------------- Middle Class (++) --------- Upper Middle Class (+++) ------------------ Rich (++++))
The resource distribution makes it difficult to achieve states that are too far away from our starting point.
Resource distribution.
((Rich) -----+++-------> (Upper Middle Class) -----++--------> (Middle Class) ------+---------> + (Poor))
Hoarding assets disrupts the supply chain. It narrows the funnel in which the rich should be supplying increased assets down the pipeline. This is not happening.
I don't see it as a dysfunction for the individual. However, it does create a very dysfunctional society.
The only viable argument is that this system increases innovation by providing companies increased assets to create new products and hire more people.
This argument is flawed. An increase in the distribution of assets would allow more people to start new businesses, grow existing businesses, and progress as individuals. This would increase innovation and social progress across the board.
Oct 24 2013: thank you for clarifying and expanding upon the question I posed. Obviously you have thought this through and you have preesented an insightful and unique perspective to the discourse.
Shahzad Alam
Oct 23 2013: I wouldn't view wealth hoarding alone as dysfunctional unless it is accompanied by neglect towards other responsibilities- responsibility towards family, humanity and also nature. If a person can keep balance between these aspect of life (which I would think would be very difficult as hoarding is a preoccupation) I wouldn't view hoarding as an issue.
- +3
Wealth however, should always remain a means and should not become an end in itself. Means to developing ones capacity and the capacity of others so that we can all become agents of change.
Oct 23 2013: excellent points and I agree that it is the dysfunction that is at issue here and we already view other kinds of hoarding as dysfunctional so why not wealth hoarding. It would seem that the type of sharing you talk about is the antithesis of hoarding.Oct 22 2013: People seem to be 'judged' by how useful they are, not how much stuff they have. There is nothing wrong with having stuff and even a lot of stuff, if we share what we have. In fact this also applies to knowledge.
The more we focus on ourselves, and our stuff, the more selfish and less human we become.
Oct 22 2013: Thanks Adriaan, the use of 'useful' is also relevant to the question I posed where the hoarder does nothing with the wealth but simply acquire more and more and endlessly indulge in pleasure center stimulus of which mere acquisition is a big part.
your right of course, sharing is essential to usefulness from a community perspective and selfishness is not since it abrogates social responsibility. .

It is my right
This is a free country
None of your business
No one can tell me what to do
You are a communist
All these answers just from asking a question. Not from a threat of taking their money away.
They are a sensitive lot. Quite fearful.....like everyone else.
I would examine the great dysfunction and crisis in Consciousness as it manifests in humans as a whole. That includes everyone, my friend. Turn the microscope inward. IN is the only way OUT.
Oct 23 2013: a 'great dysfunction' which is perpetuated in the way many celebrate and even idolize the hoarders of wealthOct 24 2013: good point. those are all really non-answers though aren't they, it's more about what they are not doing than what they are. people who are ridiculously wealthy but keep trying to get more are acting the same as if someone were to get to the front of the line and get their meal, but then just stay there.
here in japan when you climb mount fuji there's a limit to the time you can stay at the top, because of course other people also want to see the view from the summit. can you imagine if someone whose time was up was asked to please start making their way back down the mountain answered "it's my right, it's a free country, you're a communist"? yet somehow when it's the same situation but in a different setting, somehow it's perfectly natural that they stay there earning most of the money so there's less for everyone else.
Oct 24 2013: Interesting point. We have a similar set-up in California (Half Dome in Yosemite). One purchases tickets in order to climb it....I believe on a raffle basis.
But, point well taken on my non-answers.
my point: It is easy to cause ripples and disturbance in the Quality of Consciousness in individuals simply by examining their life with their knowledge and awareness that the examination is taking place. Asking questions directly of them about how they live their life. Seeking understanding is sufficient. No action is required. No judgement is required. No hostility is required. Only open and very clear questions.......regardless of where on the spectrum that individual resides.
In dialogue that is open and leaves nothing to defend, much can be discovered. In this enquiry we end up learning more about ourselves. We learn that everyone, pretty much without exception, has Fear & Scarcity issues. Everyone projects their ego as a defense.
A war on wealth might be similar to the War on/of Terror or the War on/of Drugs or the War to Suppress the Mind via the American Education System and the Media Industrial Complex........a furthering fragmentation of consciousness.
Oct 24 2013: i'd very much like that to be true, but we live in a world where people choose to take more than their fair share even when they fully understand what they're doing and what it means to the people they're doing it to. understanding isn't only enough when the person is reasonable.Oct 23 2013: envy is your sin
Oct 23 2013: Normally dysfunctionality is nothing to envy

Oct 23 2013: i am just not interested, thats all
and what is a google?Oct 23 2013: Every once in a while, I don't mind getting my hands dirty Krisztian.....shhh, don't tell anyone.Oct 23 2013: Let me reply here again to your other comment below.....Yes, I agree with you. I did some light reading on hoarding.......and usually this kind of behavior has to do with keeping things even after they are no good. With money, it is a totally different thing.
I know people who don't want to spend 5 cents on a piece of candy. They rather go without the candy because saving money is an obsession.
With money hoarding, the kind of money that some regular 9-5 working class people might hoard, it is viewed as OCB....Obsessive Compulsive Behavior. Sadly, I know people like that........sometimes hoarding might be a sign of a dementia as well (in the elderly). I have friends who have dealt with this type of illness in their loved ones.
I cannot state more, because I lack the knowledge.
Comment deleted
Oct 23 2013: Thank you for getting me interested and for your explanation!
Now I assume I am this fox in Krisztián's view, yet if I was unable to recognize that I can't get what I desire (grapes) any analogy wouldn't help my fox-wish either, would it? ;o)
Or am I the grape? See, I am getting confused now! :o)
But this is just the usual game between Krisztián and me. We confuse each other either on purpose or even without, which can be quite entertaining at times and thats what keeps us going. :o)
Also Krisztián has a very very very long 'to do list', which does neither allow to read long comments, nor to write long comments, which makes me think he would probably be more happy on twitter than on TED, yet he might just not know about the paradise of the '140 characters' limit ... ;o)
I don't know if there is another analogy within the animal kingdom regarding awareness of being contempt towards others, but from my experience, if there is any, it may well help to bring in another fox ... :o)
And since I learned the following form Mary M. here on TED, I just can't help it to let the fox speak for himself:
Thanks again, Carolyn, for your help!Oct 23 2013: Carolyn, you might find it interesting to scam through my conversation of Knowledge being a Curse........a lot of insights have been brought out regarding what one does with knowledge.............
http://www.ted.com/conversations/20817/is_knowledge_a_curse.htmlOct 23 2013: Huh......foxes make their appearance again on TED.....well, wadda you know.
Here.....a lesson on Aesop's Fables.........short and sweet:
This story helped create the American saying...."sour grapes".
Meaning that, when people show they don't care for something, it is usually because they cannot have it. The are really envious/jealous.
I think that is why Krisztian gave his insightful comment above........Envy is your sin.
He was alluding to the fact that some people might view wealthy people are hoarders of money. And, he is saying, with his short comment, that since you cannot possess the money yourself, you call them a name............."hoarder". But at the root of the name is a feeling........envy.
Oct 23 2013: the american saying is also a hungarian saying, if you encode it "savanyú a szőlő" :)
thanks for doing the dirty work for me!Oct 23 2013: And how does this analogy pair with dysfunctional behavior?
As little I know about Krisztián's world view, it seems to me, that dysfunctional behavior in this context is rather promoted than ever questioned. Thus, and to diffuse any form of critical thinking, further investigations and reflections have to be branded and coined as 'bad' and this as soon as possible and wherever it happens.
This is why he is using the terms 'envy' and 'sin', because by our cultural background nobody likes to be or to appear envy or sinful.
This method is not new and often used to prevent uncomfortable questions, justifications or even worse.
In some parts of the world one can even end in jail when certain 'taboos' are touched and all of them are in direct relation to the maintenance of power. Politically, economically and religious.
The 'fox' is just a mild form of it, yet clever, as it comes with an auto-redirect protection mechanism who scares those who don't detect the mechanism.
As our species has gatherers DNA, hording is almost part of our instincts and thereby prone to develop abnormalities and uncontrolled behavior, which I consider dysfunctional and this without any envy or sin attached to it.
When someone is hoarding beer mats or stamps from all over the world, we call him/her a 'collector' and someone who smiles about it or finds it odd we wouldn't call a sinner, because it wouldn't make sense in the context, provided, he isn't interested in beer mats or stamps himself and thereby a collector as well.
Yet when it is about money, as you rightly stated, it gets assumed, that all of us are collectors as well and we get therefore coined as sinful and enviousness the very moment we start asking questions about hording it.
I agree that from a collectors perspective it might seem odd as well, that my use of beer mats is to save the table underneath my glass, yet hording beer mats usually doesn't hurt other people, so I don't mind him/her doing it.
to be continuedOct 23 2013: Yet if he/she would start to sell anything else to gain more and more beer-mats to satisfy an endless desire for more, than it would begin to hurt the family, and this would be the point were hording gets out of control and becomes a dysfunctional behavior. Would we consider it sinful or enviousness if the family would start to question this sort of destructive behavior, or would be rather consider it helpful to get professional help for the collector who got out of control?
It is the extremes which turns normal and harmless behavior into destructive ones.
Now why cant we raise the same question on money?
Why is any criticism of destructive hording in this area immediately branded and coined?
Why do we accept gambling as addictive yet never question its influence on the stock-market?
To effectively block this sort of criticism, you present the critics as little envious characters filled to their ears with their sins, and while doing so it keeps others to think the same way and more importantly, to ever get the idea to call for professional help.
Quite simple strategy, effective as well, yet try not to buy it.Oct 24 2013: i think you're lumping all earning of money into one basket. hoarding money and having money are 2 very different things, and to dislike one doesn't mean you are envious of the other.Oct 23 2013: Let me come back and say that hoarding is a dysfunctional behavior.
We have watched many documentaries on this terrible illness.
But never with money..........
I do know that old timers, because of distrust, hid (hoarded) their money in the walls of their home.
Some died and never told a soul where they kept it. Only to have it be discovered by the new home owners.
Oct 23 2013: if someone really wants to be super over precise, it is possible that someone is a pathologic hoarder of money. but that condition is rare, and probably nobody would open a conversation about them. maybe a psychiatrist, i don't know. i don't even know if it has been studied.
when a layman talks about hoarders of money, he usually talks about CEOs and owners of huge companies. i doubt that anyone with a serious mental/behavioral condition of hoarding can become anything of the sort. the very essence of business is spending money. hoarders don't spend.Oct 24 2013: ... shhh, don't tell anyone.
I heard that! I mean, I read that! Which brings us back to the Entropy question ...
lol ;o)Oct 24 2013: Rats!!
You know, people do hoard money. What is it about money that when you start to make lots of it you want more and more and more?
I have seen this kind of obsession with all kinds of things......collectibles mostly......baseball caps, model airplanes, antique, perfume bottles, etc.......
It is kind of an addiction..............Some people might just be addicted to money............or the things money can buy?
What do you think of this?
Oct 24 2013: If hording money would be as harmless as hording beer mats for their beauty and fun, I wouldn't mind it much.
Unfortunately, the hording of scarce items will consequently result in people who don't get to have them as well or to little to be of any real use.
The problem of money is, that it is not only scares, yet only comes to live with its equivalent of dept. So ones it gets horded (or in this case increased), which is not as literally as Dagobert Duck does, than those who have it produce all of those who have to carry the dept of it.
If goods and services were related to the time it takes to make them, and money just a medium for the exchange process, than hording would not be possible beyond anyones maximum time per day. So with little sleep one could hord a little more, yet never beyond the equivalent of 24 hours a day. So slightly more wealthy people would be slightly more tired. Thats it.
But if you were to find this horded 1 million dollar in your drywall and would invest it in some company for interest, than you could cosily sleep on your sofa, while other people work for and in your interest. Some days later, you then have 1,05 million dollar while you were sleeping and the procedure goes on. This way, more and more people have to work more and more for your benefit and you are still in your pajamas. And this sort of hoarding creates a lot of tiered people, who get to work harder and harder and a view lucky people like you who 'found' the critical mass for the process to perpetuate itself for you by others.
This sort of hording isn't just unfair, it also creates really difficult and even lethal conditions for the majority of people while a view get to decide if Monday is more suitable for a Ferrari or a Maserati ... :o)
And no, I love my car and wouldn't change it, although I can't fix much on it on my own anymore ... lol :o)
Oct 24 2013: I appreciate the explanation of the million dollars. And all the cause and effect relationships.

I think that the hoarding of money is going to get worse. And I also think that the hoarding of gold has begun.
On the weekend I listened to a program on addiction.
In one of the pieces inside the show they discussed "cereals". Specifically three types of cereals that are only manufactured in the month of October. Do you know what people do with the cereals when they show up in the market?
Here, you can listen to the three minute piece yourself....
Perhaps with money it is the same. People are afraid it will run out? So they hoard it?
This hoarding of money and your explanation kind of reminded me of Hans Rosling's talk "The magic washing machine" Have you seen it?
{forgive my jumping around a bit in my thoughts......it is the connections I made....hope you are not dizzy}
Oct 24 2013: Dizzy or not I jump my best to keep up with you or close behind.
The change in hording gold rather than money is only a matter of trust and stability of both of their values, thats all. And today any metal outweighs the value of paper, which was different in the past, where paper was very scarce and high in value.
The serials example is actually exemplary for the driving force for hording, which is scarcity.
Scarcity is also a dominating figure on how 'value' gets defined, which thereby links both of them together. Artificial scarcity is one way to manipulate prices and markets.
For some reason my brother is an unlucky fellow if it is about products he really likes. As if by some magical force, any product he tries and falls in love with is doomed to vanish off the shelfs because they didn't turn out to be profitable for their producers.
Chocolate, soft drinks, toothpaste, you name it. As soon as my brother gets to know and like them, those products will have a maximal life cycle of about one year and then they are finished. This causes my brother at times to hoard what ever he can find left of it, so at least he has a little longer to enjoy them.
This only happened once with me and Cherry Coke, which I liked, than it was not available anymore in Germany and when it returned many years later, I liked it again. But I didn't hord anything when I knew it would go.
Maybe this is because I have no 'collectors' DNA which my brother has, I don't know.

Oct 22 2013: interesting question! it's been clear for some time that we are missing out on many benefits by not having a 'salary cap'. every dollar that a person earns is a dollar someone else can't earn, so when someone already has more than they could possibly ever use, all they're really doing is blocking other people from also becoming wealthy. also when someone has that much money they can't really do much with it but keep it in stocks, gold, or whatever else, all of which effectively keeps that money out of the economy, meaning reduced sales and therefore profits world-wide from money being hoarded by people protecting their wealth. a good historical example is benjamin franklin. after becoming very rich through his very successful printing business, he retired and spent his time inventing, giving all his inventions to the world, patent-free.

the same thing is true for patents and copyrights. i'm a teacher, and i learned a number of years ago that current teenage students have no idea what star wars is. around the same time i read a story in a newspaper about a guy who wanted to build a life-size at-at walker in his backyard for people to come and see, and george lucas protected his copyright, telling the man not to do it, and thereby completely shooting off his own foot. think of how many dads would've brought their kids to see it, and how many of those would've then wanted to know more about star wars, and how many new star wars fans would've emerged. there's a point where a movie, game, or product has made most of the money it's ever going to, and by protecting copyright we are actually blocking people who might have great ideas for spinoffs and sequels. as long as the law gives original creators a share of whatever these new works based on their ideas make (say 10%?) then why should copyright owners be able to block follow-on works even 10 years or more after their creation?
by 'protecting' wealth, by failing to give way, we actually make less wealth.
Oct 22 2013: thanks Ben for your excellent response and insightful analogy. Anyone remember the brothers - Bunk? - in Texas who tried to hoard the world's silver supply?
I also like the analogy of the town's apple tree. The tree is capable of producing enough apples for everyone to have some for themselves, but if one person takes half the apples the rest of the townsfolk will suffer as a result.
Oct 22 2013: good point with the apple tree. there are those that say well if he earned half the apples then it's not fair to prevent him from claiming them, to which i'd say what was he doing continuing to work after he'd earned a tenth of the apples?
Oct 22 2013: Of course, there would be no way one person could 'earn' half the apples if it is a community resource. At least, not without corrupting the community standards.
However we are taking about wealth hoarding and there are countless billionaires and multi-millionaires who never "earned" a cent of the money. They either inherited it or scammed it in some boondoggle or crime.
Consider the relatively recent U.S. financial fiasco where plunderers made off with trillions and taxpayers where left with the subsequent losses? Or the billions that criminal enterprises have netted over the years dealing in guns, drugs and slavery.
Then there is the very real fact that a true Capitalist does not toil, their money toils for them through the enterprises they own. Sure they may put in time making deals here and there, but the wealth invariably flows from the enterprises and those who toil for them in those enterprises. This is their 'capital' and it is the minions that toil in those enterprises who create - but keep little of - the wealth which is part and parcel of that capital.
So, have they truly "earned" the wealth?
Ben Jarvis
Oct 22 2013: yes it depends entirely on how we define 'earn'. say someone owned all of the land in the village and 'earned' half the apples by allowing all residents to live on his land. less insightful people would probably call that a fair trade, because without this deal they wouldn't have anywhere to live. it's the same as the ridiculous suggestion that people should be grateful to their employer for paying them, because "without the employer you wouldn't even have a job!"
- +1
a cap on income would pretty much solve this hoarding. there'd be no point buying more land to rent out because you couldn't earn any more from it, you couldn't pay employees less to fill the director's bonuses because they're already at the maximum, etc.
Oct 23 2013: I think a great start would be to stop treating the wealthy as if they were celebrities and according them special privileges. Personally I think trying to tax the income of the wealthy is a waste of time. there are just too many ways in which they can hide their money.
But what about a 100^ luxury tax? Got a private jet or 150ft+ yacht or exotic automobile you want to land or operate in this country? Pay a premium for the privilege. Want that $50k pice of bling? its now #100k. And since so many wealthy love to brag about and/or flaunt the cost of their 'stuff' as a status symbol, such a tax would simply be supporting them in that process :)Oct 23 2013: we actually have something like that in australia, a 25% luxury tax on anything over $50k. what happens is the companies that sell these more expensive goods then reduce their staff levels and pay them less, compared to cheaper competitors, and claim that they "have to" for their goods to remain competitive with those priced slightly cheaper. if we added a 100% luxury tax it'dbe handing the wealthy an excuse to pay their employees less: "because our cost of living just doubled!" this is why i think the only way round it is an income cap. and even that would be difficult.
Oct 23 2013: agreed, income inequality is becoming more and more of a problem especially since there are far more people than there are jobs for them. There is a movement afoot in a number of nations to implement a Basic and Guaranteed Income to ensure everyone has enough income to ensure they have food shelter and a modicum of comfort. Here is one I am familiar with
Here is an interview with one of our senior senators on the subject
Because of the kind of predatory, small minded profiteering you describe above it is time to view poverty and income inequality as threats to our basic freedoms. ,Oct 24 2013: sure i agree with a minimum income, to which people can aspire to increase by working harder and smarter, but is that enough? what's to stop people from keeping employees on this minimum income even though their benefit to the company is much higher, just so they can keep more of the profit for themselves? over the last few decades productivity has increased as with new technology workers are able to make more in the same time, yet average wages have risen much less than this, and wealth at the top has increased many hundreds of times more than this. it's clear where the money earned from the workers producing more has gone. what will a minimum wage / guaranteed income do to address this?
Oct 24 2013: well, for me the main purpose of a min-com is to provide a citizen greater freedom of choice. unlike today an employee would not be completely at the mercy of such employers. The min-com could allow that person the freedom to leave the job if being mistreated or disrespected and to find something better. It would also allow a person the freedom to look after a sick or dying relative, to have as much time as they wish for grieving, to expand upon their education and training desires as a few examples.
Of course all that would be dependent upon the structure and focus of the min-com legislation and the government in power at the time, but freedom can become a very contagious experience and not many politicians can long denying a freedom the people are clamouring for :).Oct 24 2013: that's true, but it's still not a solution. people leaving a job where they're never offered a fair raise or a chance to get into the upper tiers because they're already occupied or soon filled by someone else who's already rich for a job where exactly the same thing happens isn't solving anything.
a lot of people these days say well leaving a company to find a better one is great, but there aren't any better companies. there can't possibly be, because if there were that company's higher costs associated with giving their employees a fair go would put them at a competitive disadvantage. take america for example, you've got all those people claiming to be patriots and all about how great america is, but they'll fire their american countrymen at the drop of a hat if the opportunity to employ someone in another country for less is there. even if someone really did want to do the right thing they'd get voted out of the director's chair for not maximising profits and stock returns.
Oct 24 2013: Of course a min-com is but one form of greater economic freedom. But once the concept of freedom to choose how to spend your limited time on this planet catches hold others will figure out the rest of the pieces required for that freedom.
In fact, there are already have a number of nations. albeit with smaller populations, where the nation's wealth pays for everything and every citizen shares in that largesse from health care and education to gas and housing.. That means that tens of millions already know and live freedom from the coercive "jobs" mantra. The seeds are planted. All they need is care and nurturing to blossom elsewhere :)

Nov 2 2013: This is a great show which puts financial dysfunction and hoarding in the spot light:-
- +1
Episode 517 demonstrates systemic dysfunction...Also, why should people in Romania have to put their lives in front of the Chevron's fracking hell coming their way. The corporation and the financial parasites that feed upon destruction hoards oil and shale gas to exploit the market when the price is high, whilst the Romanian environment is historically utilized to hoard homegrown produce to survive.
The share holders of Chevron don't have to tolerate the poisoning of the water table and destruction of the arable quality of life from the comfort of their affluent environ...would this qualify as theft in your mind?Oct 31 2013: What gives you the right to say that hoarding is dysfunctional? If anyone wishes to collect mass quantities of anything that is their right as long as they do not engage in theft to do so.
Nov 2 2013: firstly, anyone has the right to label anything as they see fit. secondly, one can clearly exercise their rights and be dysfunctional in doing so. Drinking and eating to gross excess are two simple examples. Greed, no matter how it's dressed up, is dysfunctional, and should not be given a pass and rebranded as a mark of success.

Oct 28 2013: Thank you Carolyn for making this distinction. Your right about the differences and for me I suspect the real difference is simply one of a culturally shared perspective and little else. In words, a different attitude towards wealth and resources. .
Timo X
Oct 30 2013: It is interesting how Euro and- Americanocentrism can express itself as the glorification of 'native cultures' who are 'more in tune with their environment' and live in some sort of unspoilt paradise. Such people are in dire need of a history lesson.

Tanka Poudel
Oct 27 2013: In my view: hoarding has been happening and will continue to happen. since wealth is seen as a major incentive for any action or activity until we come to know a better alternative for hoarding wealth hoarding will continue. wealth represents a lot more than just money, it represents status, respect, pride, prestige and the most important one security. so the question is "Is there a better alternative?". cheers
- +1
Oct 27 2013: agreed, which begs the question WHY are the wealthy accorded any kind of status, respect or prestige in the first place?
Beyond the hoarding issue, we have all kinds of historical evidence showing that many family fortunes and plenty of arrogant billionaires have been made by ripping off taxpayers through government boondoggles and criminal enterprises such as bootlegging during prohibition in the past and drug smuggling more recently. Then there are the countless stock and investment frauds perpetrated by crooks who then became "shrewd entrepreneurs' throughout the past century, but which pale in comparison to the more recent heist where corporate crooks robbed millions of investors of trillions of dollars and then the cost of that fraud was dumped in the laps of U.S. taxpayers by colluding politicians. What about those who did nothing to "earn" the wealth other than simply being born into it? .
Surely wealth in and of itself is the poorest reason to accord honours such as prestige, respect or status without first determining just how that wealth was acquired?
Bog Creature
Oct 26 2013: If wealth is a common idea applicably manifest in the reality we share, its democratic value as a measure of justice for all is in our ability to make it viable for purpose in function between the present populous and the future generation.
- +1
Consolidated in the hands of the few, wealth is an unattractive, dysfunctional impediment to the terms and conditions of a fair and healthy social contract. Who under any democratic option, would choose to harvest wealth into the hands of a 1% class. . Problem being the ability to harvest wealth dominates the system function leading to money shortage and money printing which in turn leads to deflation, which directly impedes the spending power of the masses.
The main asset of wealth known to me is the planet and it's surroundings, followed closely by the variation and diversity of species all gathered like lucky prisoners in the one penal colony doing time. If the wealthy knew they were wealthy from birth, would they tolerate the perversion of their time by the few hoarding the significance at a major cost to their credibility. If we ditch differentiation (discrimination) in pay and put all the money on equality, I think you would solve way more problems than you would create!
Oct 28 2013: In ancient Greece,
(according to Bertrand Russel iirc) the measure of wealth was the amount of time a person could spend with his family, friends, drinking, contemplating etc,
and the word cretin was originally used to describe people driven by their own selfish interests and little interest in common causes.
I'd say it's a value problem, and probably should be treated as such and then other elements of the solution should fall in place spontaneously.
Until the value system is shifted any other solution is doomed to corrupt itself irreparably and then regress into current or worse state of things, see eastern European communism, the early ideals, the later corruption and fall and the kind of capitalism it eventually generated as a historical example of this failed experiment.
Oct 30 2013: "There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance" - Ali ibn Abi-Talib
"All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation" – Walter Benjamin
Global equality is a value system in which humans are the principle intrinsic value of wealth, without prejudice within law as a rule, since, only humans can distribute the amount of time a person could spend with his family, friends, drinking, contemplating etc,. Whose rule of law is viable to decency, goodwill, civility, whose rule of law is real to common community wealth before private oligarchy?
Whose right to wealth is right, whose right to poverty is right, whose right to common wealth as a common value system is overdue by several centuries, what is a good value and a bad value system in the undemocratically evolved / devolved state of things as they stand today?
What is a fair, a responsible and a transparent value system of recognizable order and goodwill for the next generation? What should humans be responsible for, between work and education?
What quantity of wealth as a reflection of financial income is quality or inequality of income and what feels right (the minimum wage, the living wage, the sustainable quality of life), what feels wrong, individual private financial independence and collective public financial accountability responsible for the credibility of a civilized agreement?
Is individual negotiation for remuneration in work fit for purpose in relation to personal responsibility for individual carbon footprints or would a collective negotiation for remuneration in work define a community approach to the sustainable quality of life?
Why should one human earn more or less than the next human in a community based value system?
Shahzad Alam
Oct 25 2013: The way we have started to define "wealth" has been very problematic. Yes material wealth is important but whatever happened to "ethical and social wealth"? Shouldn't we be hoarding them as well. The good thing about trying to hoard them all is that you make this world a better place. When we defined poverty as only material wealth, the solutions we came up with took away the "ethical and social resources" of the "poor". We broke families and communities (rural migration) so that all could have material wealth (that's what we lied about). The whole plan from the beginning was so that some 20% could hoard the 80% of the resources of the planet and leave everyone poor in all aspects of life. We even made sure that quality education for "world leaders" was reserved for those who hoard material wealth.

Oct 24 2013: softcore option: take their wealth away, it just hurts them
hardcore option: put them in a behavioral correction facility
ps: for those that believe in fixing people against their will, i recommend reading up on the case of alan turing.
Oct 24 2013: But it is OK to fix people against their will the moment they take away some of your accumulated 'stuff' in despair of their survival, right?
Would that be soft or hardcore by your definition?
Oct 24 2013: to stop theft? or robbery? sure, it is OK. not in your book?Oct 24 2013: why is this OK but not the other?
My book allows people in order to survive to take what they need from others who have more than they need to survive if they can not get it otherwise. Not in yours?

Half Moon Bay, Calif., April 9, 2010 – GoPro®, the world's leading HD activity image capture company, will exhibit for the first time at the 2010 NAB show: Booth # C7519. The company will demonstrate how its globally best selling HD HERO® wearable sports cameras are enabling professional video content creators to capture immersive action sports video at a fraction of the cost of competing cameras costing ten to twenty times as much. Retailing for $299 MSRP, the HD HERO line of wearable HD sports cameras has become the tool of choice for professional film and TV action sports cameramen, displacing expensive competing cameras from companies such as Sony and Panasonic.
Company to Preview Upcoming Camera Technologies, including Wearable 3D™ HD Sports Cameras.
If you did not attend NAB (April 10 – 15, Las Vegas) visit our Video Channels to view example videos captured with GoPro's game changing HD HERO line of cameras. Video samples include a slow motion, surfboard-eye view of professional surfer, Kalani Robb, powering his way through a gaping barrel at world famous Pipeline, Hawaii.
Since 2004, people all around world have been using GoPro's wearable cameras to capture video and photos of themselves during their lives' most exciting, and often hectic moments. Be it surfing, mountain biking, racing cars and motorcycles, or simply enjoying the odd base jump, consumers and professionals alike have looked to GoPro for the best in wearable sports cameras.
With the launch of its HD HERO line of full 1080p wearable cameras in November, 2009, GoPro became an action sports camera of choice for many broadcasters including FUEL.TV, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, SpeedTV, and more. GoPro's powerful and convenient wearable cameras help professional content creators capture footage that would not be possible with larger, more expensive cameras. NBC recently relied on the HD HERO camera to capture "first person" HD perspectives of many of the competition runs, airing them live on their HD broadcast of the Winter Olympics.
In addition to broadcast quality 1080p video and audio, the camera's small size and durability allows content producers to place it in spots to capture unique shots and bring a whole new viewing experience to their audience. These capabilities have broadened the appeal of GoPro to a wider audience of professional content producers.
Victor Hammer, directory of photography for hit CBS television show NCIS Los Angeles, says, "I can put a GoPro HD HERO where I have never been able to put a camera before. With the mounts and accessories, I can put it anywhere I want. These cameras are very reliable and practically indestructible. After an explosion or getting run over by a car, my crew and I always laugh when we pick up the camera and it still works. When the word about GoPro gets out, every Director of Photography will have six of them in their bag."
Producer Rick McCallum of Lucasfilm Ltd., "When I saw the footage from the GoPro on our big screens at Skywalker Ranch, I was amazed something so small and affordable could deliver HD quality. GoPro has opened new doors for creativity in filmmaking. The versatility and price point equate to new shots that were simply not possible or would be very expensive to produce."
This is GoPro's first time exhibiting at NAB. The company's 1600 square foot booth will feature GoPro's complete line of HD HERO wearable and gear mountable 1080p HD cameras and accessories as well as two of the company's racing cars that are used for R&D. Fifteen 55" LED flat panel TVs will showcase a wide range of dramatic HD footage captured with the HD HERO camera.
"We have seen a dramatic increase in the number of TV and film professionals using our GoPro cameras in their work," says Nicholas Woodman, GoPro founder and CEO. "It's testament to the obsessive engineering and innovation at GoPro that we're able to produce a consumer priced camera that is so widely used by professional content producers. The HD HERO is a game changer and we're excited to showcase it at NAB."
GoPro will also be previewing its Wearable 3D™ technology, a full wearable 1080p activity content capture system based on it's award winning HD HERO camera.
"GoPro is leading the charge into immersive, in-sport 3D content capture that is simply impossible with larger, more expensive cameras," says Nicholas Woodman. "GoPro's Wearable 3D cameras will make it convenient for content producers to creatively capture 3D sports content in ways they wouldn't dare do with other cameras. Thanks to our leading image quality and revolutionary low cost, cameramen can get risky and capture perspectives that capture viewers' attention and applause. It's a GoPro….Go for it!"

The New School >
Eugene Lang College > Academics > Advising
Supporting Lang
Contact Admission
Advisement is a valued and integral part of the Eugene Lang College experience. Your advisors are here to provide academic guidance and administrative support throughout your studies. In addition to guiding you through course registration, we can advise about academic extracurricular resources and programs such as study abroad, professional internships, and volunteer service. We also help students obtain access to university services, such as those offered by the Learning Center and Career Development. We advocate on your behalf to resolve administrative problems and ensure that you are able to participate in all opportunities and activities relevant to your educational goals.
A Developmental Approach: Other institutions have a prescriptive approach to advisement, focusing simply on fulfillment of general education requirements. At Lang, we take a more developmental approach to the relationship between students and advisors. For example, your advisors may recommend that you broaden your horizons by exploring newly introduced academic disciplines, previously unavailable at The New School. We encourage you to take seminars that you will challenge your intellectual abilities and your ideas about the world. We want you to encounter other perspectives and develop the analytical skills to formulate thoughtful responses. The seminar approach to learning encourages students to defend and refine their own beliefs in a sincere and thoughtful dialogue with others. Everyone's ideas matter, however dissident or controversial.
The Importance of Advisors: At Lang, students may have more freedom in their academic pursuits than at some institutions, but, for that reason, advisement is even more important. There is a designated academic advisor for each undergraduate class (first-year, second-year, etc., including transfer students). Each class has its own Advising page on the Lang website. Go to the Advising page for your class, where you'll find contact information for scheduling an appointment with your academic advisor.
In addition to the class academic advisor, you are assigned a personal faculty advisor to be your guide and mentor as you make important educational decisions. Your faculty advisor will help you choose courses that ensure breadth and balance in academic experience. We encourage you to reach out to your faculty advisor before you register to discuss your academic path as well as review specific prospective courses. The faculty advisor is also available to discuss your future, including possible careers directions and graduate school.
The Perspective of a Peer: If you are a freshman, Lang also provides a peer advisor, called a First Year Fellow. First Year Fellows are upper-level students with demonstrated leadership abilities who have been trained to teach our workshop for first-year students. All freshmen must register for this 2-credit workshop, which is designed to furnish new students with important resource information and teach certain college-level academic skills. Your First Year Fellow is available throughout your first semester at Lang to facilitate your successful entry into The New School community.
Contact Academic Advising: You will find that the professional staff of the Office of Academic Advising, located at 64 West 11th Street, eager to help you at every stage of your studies at Eugene Lang College. Advising appointments can be made for any weekday, Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Friday, 9:30 a.m.–12:00 noon. During office hours, you can also take advantage of our resource library to research study-abroad programs, graduate schools, and scholarships and grants.

(Morning-after update: Not all 600 applied–there were friends who came along, as well as parents and other family members who stood in line with the job applicants. But the final count for Job Fair #1 was none-too-shabby: about 350.)

Hey there guys! I'm itching to have a crack at juggerlossus again since my first attempt of it wasn't so well received and I was still beginning back then. I was thinking of maybe using a select ruffalo hulk as a base? I considered using a despero a while ago but that figure is out of my price range. I dont think i'll be trying abomination again since that was a pain to work with.
If you guys have any ideas let me know. I'm itching towards using the select ruffalo hulk since I was a massive juggerlossus in my collection. Ideas and help are welcome. Thanks guys.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa Each year when the UNI Adapted Sports Camp is held on the Cedar Falls campus, it provides something no other summer camp in Iowa can.
Now in its seventh year, the camp teaches young people from second grade through high school with lower limb disabilities how to play sports adapted for wheelchairs. Camp co-director Jack Eherenman said the camp is mostly used as an introduction to the sports in wheelchairs and to other people with similar disabilities.
"Some don't even know it's out there," Eherenman said of the opportunities to participate in many different sports. "Some have never seen anybody else with a disability in their community. They don't even know there are other kids like them out there. Then they learn there are sports they can do. They learn how to do the sports and we provide them with equipment."
The camp offers eight different sports for the campers and runs from Wednesday through Saturday with a dozen participants throughout the four days. It also provides equipment for campers to use such as wheelchairs adapted to play basketball as well as race on a running track.
It was Wednesday morning that Karlee Hughes, a 7-year-old from Dakota Dunes, S.D., first learned how to complete her first mile on the track under her own power. Growing up and watching her siblings play sports is a big part of Karlee's life and something her mom, Missy, said she has wanted to do for herself.
"She's the only one in our school and community in a wheelchair so we don't have a lot of this," Missy said of the Adapted Sports Camp. "No matter what the age here, they're all connecting. [Wednesday] they played telephone and Minute to Win It. She was just giggling and it just melted my heart. I love that she's able to be around peers and relate to other people."
Karlee said she is most looking forward to "learning new things and meeting new people." She is also enthused with the chance to play wheelchair basketball, a love that fellow camper and coach Jordan Houdeshell of Marion shares. Houdeshell has been attending the camp for the last five years and has really connected each year with new campers.
"I love teaching new kids how to play sports," Houdeshell said. "The excitement in their eyes makes me excited. The problem with adaptive sports is that nobody knows about it. We need to get the word out so we have more disabled people getting out and playing sports instead of just sitting at home being a couch potato."
Even though the camp is centered around sports, for those involved, it is about much more than that. Sports are something the campers learn, Eherenman said, that will be a catalyst to help them with the challenges they will face in everyday life.
"The only difference between our athletes and a lot of other athletes is that they play it in a chair," Eherenman said. "They have a lot of the same wants, desires, needs and everything. They just have a different way of playing a sport and their barriers are a lot bigger."
Mike Boone, director of Adaptive Sports Iowa, is one of the providers of the equipment the campers use. Seeing them use the modified chairs is something that is "life-changing" for those kids.
"If you take that kid and put them in a chair that's designed specifically for racing, all of a sudden they are going faster," Boone said. "You take that kid and put them in a sports chair, they can be very aggressive and turn sharp. When you provide them with that piece of equipment, their whole perspective changes because now they can compete at a higher level."

Each One Teach One: Massey Knakal Broker James Nelson
James Nelson recently ushered a dozen Colgate University undergraduate students on a tour through The Abingdon, a West Village nursing home-turned-luxury condo where some units, which sold out this month, ran for more than $10 million.
With the help of his team, Mr. Nelson, a partner at Massey Knakal, sold the property at 607 Hudson Street for just over $33 million to Flank Architects in 2011 on behalf of nonprofit group VillageCare, which previously ran a nursing home there.
Much like the undergrads, the investment sales heavyweight traveled The Abingdon's hallways with looks of awe, as Jon Kully, a principal at Flank, led the group into its sprawling condos. The building bore no resemblance to the nursing home Mr. Nelson had first stepped foot into in 2007. "They had 200 beds packed in there, and it wasn't up to code, and it was in desperate need of renovation," he said. "This was a complete transformation. It really was amazing what they did, and to know that I had a small part in making that happen was great." Read More
