Toronto a harbinger for Djoker, Murray?
Tandon By Kamakshi Tandon
Special to ESPN.com
TORONTO -- Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic each have aspirations of thriving under the New York skyline in a couple weeks. So where do they stand after the Toronto Masters?
Andy Murray
It was a perfect week for Murray as he defeated the red-hot David Nalbandian, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in consecutive matches to defend the title he won last year in Montreal. He'll face no more questions about being without a coach after his mental and tactical sure-footedness during the weekend, consistently pinning Federer deep on his backhand and hitting the ball deep at Nadal to stop his momentum before swinging the ball away to the far corner.

Matthew Stockman/Getty ImagesHow much longer before we can finally call Andy Murray a Grand Slam champion?
Even after parting ways with Miles Maclagan, Murray has plenty of support on the road with physio, Andy Ireland; strength coach, Jez Green; trainer, Matt Little; girlfriend, Kim Sear; and mom, Judy Murray, a top-level coach in Scotland who spent some time scouting Murray's opponents in Toronto.
Murray will eventually need to bring in a coach to manage his development as well as handle everyday business like scouting opponents and arranging practice. But the team seems organized enough to get Murray through the U.S. Open.
Although Murray says not having a coach feels "different," the on-court evidence suggests the independent-minded Scot likes being his own boss for the moment: "I played pretty free-flowing tennis and didn't get too nervous."
He'll now be one of the favorites as he tries yet again to capture that elusive first major in New York. His nagging worry from the week should be the 6-0 set he dropped to Gael Monfils in the third round -- other than Federer or Nadal, both of whom he has multiple tour wins over, it's the free-swinging big hitters who have tended to upset him at majors over the past couple of years.
Novak Djokovic
For Djokovic, his first and last matches were the takeaway in Toronto. He barely got through his opener against Julien Benneteau because of the heat, admitting that he had been on the verge of quitting.
Djokovic's struggles in hot conditions have become such a standing joke that even he's joining in the fun. "We're just waiting for DHL to give us a canister of oxygen that I will put next to me on the changeovers," he said.
But the Serb won't say exactly what the issue is or even if it's related to the breathing problems he had with allergies this spring.
"It did happen a couple of times already, but I said it back then and I'll say it again: I will never ever risk my health just to win," Djokovic said. "I've been doing a great job preparing for these tournaments for last couple of weeks, so there is no issue in that, no issue in me not spending enough hours in the sun. It's just, I guess, a little nervousness during the match, and it all combines with the heat and stress."
The extent of the problem was difficult to gauge because Djokovic played later in the day for the rest of the week, but sweltering Cincinnati should reveal much. He won't have much chance at the U.S. Open unless he can get through a couple of best-of-five matches in the heat and humidity.

The semifinal against Federer showed why stamina is crucial. Djokovic came out trying to hit winners early and went down 6-1 and a break in around half an hour. "I was too impatient, and as soon as I started putting more, one ball more than him in the rally, I won most of the points," he said afterward.
The two rarely played their best at the same time during that roller-coaster three-setter, but when they did, the rallies were spectacular -- a reminder of just how Djokovic won the Australian Open in 2008. His huffing during the changeovers in the third set (Federer's breathing was normal) was a reminder of why he hasn't come close since.

I play a (don't laugh) a 4 piece fender "starcaster" drum kit. Sizes are 12',16', and 22'. The drums themselves are appauling, but everything else I have is nice.
I use paiste 2002 cymbals, 15-inch hats,24-inch ride (both on my left side), and an 18-inch crash. The hats sound like heaven, crisp and highly responsive. (even for its size.) My ride is ok, I think its silly that people who have Bonham replica kits buy this ride, It is way more washy and gongy sounding than the ride you hear on the Zeppelin albums. And the 18 -inch crash is basically the crash sound I hear in my head.
My snare is a 14x7 Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute Noveau. It sounds really nice, I tune it medium tight, So I get a nice crack along with plenty of meat.
The pedals I play are Tama Iron Cobra's. The hi-hat stand is IMO, the best on the market. The bass pedal is not really my thing, I prefer the DW 5000.
So thats my kit, I wish I can post pics but my camera has been acting screwy lately. (hope to get it fixed soon!)

Stringer has spearheaded station promotions, including providing dozens of tours for hundreds of community members and elected officials, during his five-year tenure as director. The exposure helped NASA executives approve some of the roughly $567 million invested in the station during the past decade.
But his goodwill could abruptly end. The Register obtained the chart through an independent source and later verified the document with NASA spokeswoman Katherine Martin.
Meanwhile, local station advocates detest the move and believe negative ramifications will result from Stringer's forcible departure.
"While the stated goal of this new organizational structure is to become more efficient, it greatly de-emphasizes the importance of (the) Plum Brook Station," according to a statement from the Friends of NASA Plum Brook, a local group marketing and supporting the station. "Given Plum Brook's rapidly growing visibility inside and outside of NASA, director Lugo's plan, if implemented, would run exactly counter to the needs and expectations of Plum Brook's testing customers."

Another Newman Charged With Robbing, Shooting Young Woman In Face
Categories: Crime

|Joseph Newman, 25, charged with shooting med student near Cardinal Glennon
Now they now believe one of the incidents was actually perpetrated by his brother.
Joseph Newman, 25, was charged yesterday for robbing and shooting a medical student just southwest of Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital on October 24.
According to the probable cause statement, Newman approached the 27-year-old victim just before 6 am that morning as she was walking to her car in the 1600 block of Spring Avenue - scarcely a block from the Newman brothers' address.
She saw the suspect pointing a gun at her and threw her black bag on the ground. She herself somehow ended up on the ground, and her iPhone fell out of her coat pocket.
The suspect (believed to be Newman) grabbed the bag and the phone, then pointed the gun at her head. She put out her hand as if to stop him, but he fired anyway, hitting her thumb and her cheek.
On Monday, an officer spotted Newman near the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink station. Newman took off running, but two officers chased him. He jumped over two fences before finally being subdued.
The med student was able to pick Joseph Newman out of a lineup.
He's been charged with robbery, assault, two counts of armed criminal action and resisting arrests -- all felonies.
He has several priors going back to 2006: robbery, tampering, assault and possession of a controlled substance.

Joshua Hammer discussed his book, A Season in Bethlehem: Unholy War in a Sacred Place, published by The Free Press. Based on Mr. Hammer's reports for Newsweek magazine and interviews with residents of the region, the book recounts the story of Bethlehem between 2000 and 2002. Mr. Hammer arrived in the West Bank in October 2000, following Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount. According to the author, Sharon's trip halted the peace process, incited violence, destabilized the region and culminated in Israel's 2002 reoccupation of Palestinian towns and the thirty-nine-day siege at the Church of the Nativity. Mr. Hammer also talked about the current state of affairs in Israel. A question and answer session followed Mr. Hammer's presentation. close

Nelsonville, OH – American Public University System (APUS), learning resources management provider ED MAP, and eTextbook provider Vital Source have partnered to streamline distribution of APUS digital course materials and enhance student engagement.
APUS texts will be distributed via the ED MAP OpenVue Student Choice storefront and Vital Source Bookshelf platform, a logical extension of the University's goal to offer the best variety of course materials, while reducing the impact of textbook inflation, through APUS ePress. ED MAP enables undergraduate students to elect a digital format at no cost through APUS's undergraduate book grant, and provides the purchase option of a print copy. In addition, the storefront logs print inventory and features address pre-verification to reduce unnecessary reshipping costs, according to Dr. Fred Stielow, VP and dean of libraries and course materials for APUS.
"This initiative further validates our ongoing commitment to maximize learning outcomes by better enabling students to focus on their studies rather than on how they must access their course materials," said Stielow. "ED MAP will also help us more efficiently and cost-effectively manage our key course material administrative and reporting processes."
ED MAP will initially coordinate with publishers to have all APUS course materials migrated to the VitalSource Bookshelf platform, which offers multiple delivery options, coupled with digital rights management (DRM) features. Materials can be provided in both cloud-based and downloadable formats, which caters to APUS's specialized needs as the largest provider of higher education to America's armed forces.
Kent Freeman, chief operating officer of Vital Source Technologies Inc. said, "We are pleased that our VitalSource Bookshelf platform will be available to all APUS students via ED MAP, providing anytime, anywhere access to the content that the students of today use most."
"ED MAP is pleased to work with APUS in developing a new course materials strategy and implementing new processes," said ED MAP President Kerry S. Pigman. "We are excited to collaboratively help APUS achieve its key goals for process improvement and enhancing the online learning experience for its students."

The Tigers were scheduled to host Jamestown College in a nonconference doubleheader Wednesday, March 20, and then play Black Hills State University in another nonconference doubleheader Thursday, March 21, but both games have been postponed indefinitely due to the cold, windy forecast and poor field conditions. A makeup date has not yet been set for either game.
Dakota Wesleyan – which is 0-12 after its spring break trip to California – is scheduled to start Great Plains Athletic Conference play Saturday, March 23, when it travels to Hastings, Neb., to take on Hastings College.

Opposition mounts to Bush IHS initiatives
THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2003 The Bush administration's plans to consolidate and restructure the Indian Health Service (IHS) met serious opposition at a Senate hearing on Wednesday. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.) announced that he was deeply "concerned" about initiatives underway at the Department of Health and Human Services. As chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, he said the panel would require the agency to provide more details in addition to further consultation with Indian Country. "I understand that we need to streamline and consolidate and not duplicate efforts and make better, more efficient use of tax money and so on," he said. "But I have seen too many times in the past when Indian programs get folded into bigger programs, money that had been formerly designated for Indian programs somehow gets transferred or moved or something." "Indian people have never had a really strong voice in the administration, or any administration, or here either, unfortunately, " he concluded. Tribal leaders made similar remarks about the "One HHS" effort and a separate restructuring of the IHS headquarters. Julia Davis-Wheeler, chair of the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and secretary for the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho, said tribes need more time to consider the proposals, which she characterized as "downsizing." "The time frame for proper consultation was very short -- we had basically seven months," she told the committee. She added: "I know that the Department of Health and Human Services was really putting a lot of pressure on the Indian Health Service to do this. . . It does need some more reviewing." Don Kashevaroff, chairman of the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and president of the the Seldovia Village in Alaska, criticized HHS for glossing over the needs of Indian Country. Consolidating information technology doesn't make sense for the IHS, he said, because it is the only HHS agency with unique patient services. Yet the Bush administration proposal seeks to cut $9 million from the IT budget, he said. "If we want one HHS, they should have one HHS," he said. "They should look at the disparities in health for American Indians and Alaska Natives and see that we have the worst statistics across the country. One HHS should come together and say 'We're going to handle the Indian population, we're going to bring them up to the rest of the population.'" Dr. Charles Grim, who was officially nominated as IHS director last week by President Bush, said no firm decisions have been made about either proposal. "Many of these things are still in the planning phases," he told Campbell. Grim said the IHS restructuring was the work of nearly a year of tribal consultation. He said the comments that were received were taken into account and weren't earth shattering. A tribal workgroup has made recommendations about the One HHS initiative, part of which seeks to consolidate information technology and human resource functions, a move the administration predicts will save $31 million. "We don't have specific information yet because it's an '04 budget proposal," Grim said. The details that have emerged include the elimination of about 36 human resource positions at locations throughout Indian Country. The rest of the HR staff, approximately 180, will be moved to one office in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, the IHS has been granted authority, through homeland security legislation, to offer buy-out and retirement packages to IHS employees. Reports from the field indicate that employees in Oklahoma and New Mexico have been approached. In a recent interview, Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. said the Navajo IHS was being affected. "We will make wise and judicious use of buy-out and early-out sorts of authorities, targeted at areas where we may have overages," promised Grim at the Senate hearing. "As a last resort, we would touch the service unit or the health care delivery level, if necessary." At a separate meeting with with IHS and HHS officials, Navajo Nation Vice President Frank Dayish Jr. voiced the tribe's opposition. "The Navajo Nation is alarmed about the proposed consolidation plan, the department may not honor the Indian Preference act, and it could mean a shortage in health care needs for our Navajo residents," he said. Congress, in passing the recent 2003 omnibus budget, required legislative approval before HHS moves forward with consolidation. With about 15,000 employees, IHS is the second largest division within HHS. The agency headquarters are located in Rockville, Maryland. Relevant Links:

Q. Is steel shot required to hunt pheasants in walk-in areas?
A. Non-toxic shot is not required to hunt pheasants in walk-in areas. However, if you are hunting a walk-in area for both pheasants and waterfowl, you must use non toxic shot. Be aware that it is illegal to have lead shot in your possession while hunting waterfowl. So if you are hunting both waterfowl and pheasants you will need to use non-toxic shot for everything

Senator says Apple e-books suit "could wipe out the publishing industry"
Senator Charles Schumer thinks it's time for Amazon's control over e-book prices to end.
Flickr user unten44
The US Department of Justice's lawsuit against Apple and a handful of e-book publishers "could wipe out the publishing industry as we know it," according to Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY). In an editorial published in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Schumer argued that the lawsuit could make it more difficult for new authors to get published if Apple is forced to adopt Amazon's wholesale model for e-books, and that by moving forward with the suit, the DoJ is "[missing] the forest for the trees."
"If publishers, authors and consumers are at the mercy of a single retailer that controls 90% of the market and can set rock-bottom prices, we will all suffer," Schumer wrote in reference to Amazon, which completely dominated the e-book market until Apple introduced the iPad and its iBookstore in early 2010. "Choice is critical in any market, but that is particularly true in cultural markets like books. The prospect that a single firm would control access to books should give any reader pause."
The DoJ set its target on Apple, Hachette, Harper Collins, Macmillan, Penguin, Pearson, and Simon & Schuster in April of 2012 for allegedly colluding to fix e-book prices. At the time of the iPad's introduction of 2010, Apple also rolled out iBooks (and the iBookstore), a competitor to Amazon and its Kindle market. But unlike Amazon, Apple decided to allow publishers to use the so-called "agency model," which allowed them to set their own prices for e-books. Amazon's wholesale model allowed the company to sell e-books at prices below cost, a strategy that irked publishers because they felt Amazon was undercutting their prices and devaluing their products in the marketplace. Throughout 2010, publishers pushed Amazon to switch to the agency model as well, and eventually, it did.

DURHAM, N.H. – Senior Ashlee Lathrop (Sherburne, N.Y.) won a pair of events for the third straight meet, as the University of New Hampshire women's outdoor track & field team played host to the Wildcat Invitational II on Saturday at the Reggie F. Atkins Track.
The University of Maine, Quinnipiac University, Bowdoin College and Colby-Sawyer College also took part in the non-scoring meet.
Lathrop won the discus throw by 26 feet with a toss of 42.74 meters and then took first in the hammer throw by nearly 18 feet with a mark of 53.06m. Freshman Rosemary Read (West Greenwhich, R.I.) was second in the hammer at 47.70m.
Junior Kate Early (Corning, N.Y.) submitted a first-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 11.04m, edging out the runner-up by half an inch. Early was also second in the high jump with a mark of 1.62m, while freshman Kayla Smith (Merrimack, N.H.) was third at 1.52m.

In the javelin, senior Kelly Thomas (Chichester, N.H.) and freshman Keyla Salazar (Nashua, N.H.) finished third and fourth, respectively, with throws of 33.96m and 30.19m.
On the track, the Wildcats' 4x400-meter relay team of junior Brittany Verville (Bow, N.H.), senior Tracy Howell (Grafton, Mass.), Letourneau and Brehm placed second in a time of 4:04.76.

Webber: Pole slipped through my fingers
Nov 16, 2013, 5:30 PM EDT
Mark Webber believes that pole position slipped through his fingers in today's qualifying session for the United States Grand Prix, as the Australian driver finished just 0.103 seconds down on teammate Sebastian Vettel at the end of Q3.
Webber had looked poised to claim his third pole position in four races after going fastest on his first run and quicker still with his second run. However, a mistake at the final corner meant that Vettel's stunning final lap did enough to edge out the Australian driver, and Webber knows that this was an opportunity missed.
"The first part of my final lap was very good, I was happy with that, but I didn't quite get turns nineteen and twenty," Webber said. "If I'd done what I did there initially in Q3, it would probably have been enough, but I tried to squeeze a bit more out and it's easy to load the car a bit too much in these conditions.
"Sometimes you're happy and think you've given your best, but today it slipped through the fingers. Well done to Seb, he put the three sectors together and I put two and a half together. I just dropped it in the last sector and it's not satisfying when you do that, but I'm still pretty happy with second."
This will be Mark Webber's final appearance as a Formula One driver in the USA ahead of his retirement at the end of the season, and he will be hoping to sign off with a win in his final two races.

And Q3 slipped through the fingers of the oh so skilled editors at NBC Sports. Sounds like Q3 was as good as it has ever been. would have been nice to be able to see it. Still, we had 20 excruciating minutes of Q1 to make up for it:(
- ewyllis - Nov 16, 2013 at 9:38 PM
What an amazing display of complete incompetence by NBC sports, you cover q1, part of q2 and NONE of q3!! Amazing! And you don't even have a pair to step up and apologize? If you can't handle F1 give it back to SpeedTV.
- redchili2013 - Nov 16, 2013 at 9:55 PM
Completely insane. And the race isn't even live tomorrow. Way to completely stuff things up NBC. 20+ years of watching F1 and this weekend so far is the worst.
- racerphotog - Nov 16, 2013 at 11:30 PM
Qualifying was on CNBC live! I watched all of Q1, Q2, and Q3… I didn't miss a thing. Even watched FP3 on the internet. Read the schedule in the article and you miss a thing.
- worknman24hours - Nov 17, 2013 at 12:34 AM
All you can do is your best and be happy.
To Mark's credit, he fessed up to exactly where he thought he lost the crucial few hundredths to lose the pole position.
Race On Mark! – Great Luck Tomorrow!

Recipe by NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE®
"A stylish cookie - make sure you eat one right out of the oven!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2/3 cup
NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup
granulated sugar
2/3 cup
packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
large eggs
1 (12 ounce) package
NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels
These cookies are excellent. The first batch I made, I let the butter soften too much before using and the bottoms came out charred. When I tried it a second time, I made sure to use firmer butter and they turned out perfect. I rolled them into round balls before baking and they didn't spread out as much as the first time. The second batch was a definite hit with everyone who tried them!
These cookies were dry and cake-like, not chewy like the ones you get at a baker. I used butterscotch chips instead of white choc. chips and the flavor combination was good, but I didn't like the texture of it. I'm still hunting for bakery-perfect chocolate cookie.
112 Ratings
These were excellent.. I followed the recipe exactly (except I used Hershey's Cocoa powder... because that was what I had on hand). I cooked for nine minutes, and they were just perfect. I will definitely make these again.
My oldest son and I made this about an hour ago, but only a half recipe. I don't know where Nestle gets their numbers from, I was only able to get 18 largeish cookies from one halved recipe. We made no changes or substitutions. We didn't chill the dough, like I normally would have with a cookie recipe that calls for butter which is why I think my cookies spread a little more than usual. 350* for eleven minutes was just right. These turned out nicely, even if they were quite thin. Next time, I'd chill the dough before baking. My son and I were both impatient to see the end product. I think I'd use a whole teaspoon of vanilla next time for a half recipe instead of a half teaspoon.
The family said that these were really yummy and went back for seconds straight away. The only thing that you have to watch is that the cookies don't get burnt as I made about 4-5 trays of them and one of them I had to chuck out as within the space of 1-2 extra mins cooking time they went black around the edges on the bottom.
These cookies turned out great. The dough was more stiff than regular chocolate chip cookie dough. They hardly spread and I did pull them as soon as the tops looked set and were just starting to crack which I think helped make them more moist and chewy. I did have to bake a little longer than specified but I have come to expect that since I bake on stoneware. I had no problems with the cookies burning like some others mentioned. I think if you were to leave them in until they look done they would be overcooked and possibly burned. The only change I made was to use mint chocolate chips in place of the vanilla but I think those would be fantastic as well.
Great basic chocolate cookie recipe! I used mint chips and the cookies were absolutely DIVINE!!!
i made these for my boyfriend on valentine's day. he loved them so much, he refused to share them with anybody. according to him, it's the best thing i've ever baked.
my mom made this with melted butter, and the cookie dough spread when baking. they were still good, but very flat. when i made them, i made sure that i was able to hold the butter with two fingers without it falling apart. the cookies came out a lot better looking, and more delicious.

Council admits errors over waste emissions
Posted: August 15, 2013|
THE Isles of Scilly Council has admitted "historic compliance issues" and "an unacceptable lack of communication" relating to emission breaches by the waste disposal incinerator at the authority's Moorwell management site.
The admission came in a statement from the authority's community relations officer George Pearson.
In apologising for not informing the island public of past emission breaches the council said it was "striving to be transparent" and pledged any further compliance issues would be reported to the council's management team and the general purposes committee.
Reports of the emission breach were recently aired by the islands' radio station, Radio Scilly. It had obtained data from the Environment Agency via the Freedom of Information Act suggesting there had been times when the incinerator emitted chemicals exceeding statutory levels.
The council's consultants, SLR, and the agency said that while "on occasion" emissions had been high "the very low output volume of the incinerator resulted in an insignificant public health risk".
David Mudge of the agency said that due to "longer term non-compliance" the agency had commissioned a health risk assessment.
"This study was shared with Public Health England (HPA as was) and showed that there would be no significant risks."
Andy Street, of SLR, said: "It is true that the emissions were high on occasion from this incinerator which was first commissioned in the 1970s."
Initial assessment of the impact of emissions to air was undertaken in 2009 under the instruction of the Environment Agency, which in turn consulted with the Food Standards Agency. Mr Street said: "These investigations indicated that, even with monitored emissions at their highest, there was no clear risk to human health, because of the small scale of the plant and low volume of waste incinerated."
The islands' council points out there has been no prosecutions since the incinerator was built in 1976. It has been upgrading and operating it "to meet more stringent legislative requirements throughout its long life".
This included the appointment of a compliance manager and implementation control procedures. The data relating to emission breaches follows a decision by the authority to start exporting refuse to the mainland this autumn. A decision on whether to continue incineration has to be decided.
Councillor Sims, chairman of the general purposes committee, said he has asked the Environment Agency to, if possible, provide a summation of non-compliant emissions, if any, to future meetings of the general purposes committee.

Crock-Book Holder by Tovolo
"I look forward to going to Sicily for many reasons," says Frank Castronovo of his biannual trip to southern Italy. "One of them is because I'm amazed at how many times Frank [Falcinelli] can order linguine con vongole." Their exquisite, supersimple version is packed with garlic and a judicious amount of crushed red pepper. If you prefer, shell the clams before tossing them with their juices in the pasta.
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Salt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti until just al dente, then drain the pasta well.
Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the clams and water, cover and simmer until the clams open and are just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open.
Add the spaghetti and the chopped parsley to the clams in the skillet and season with pepper. Toss over moderately high heat just until the spaghetti absorbs some of the juices, about 1 minute. Transfer the spaghetti and clams to shallow bowls and serve right away.

Scrum Master or Scrum project management, is there a difference?
A Scrum Master is commonly mistaken for a project manager who works in a Scrum environment. Learn what distinguishes a Scrum Master in this expert response.
Is a Scrum Master the term used for a project manager in a Scrum environment?

A Scrum Master is a member of a Scrum Team which is a team that is practicing a particular type of Agile Software Development Methodology referred to as "Scrum." Though a lot of the traits found in a Scrum Master are similar to what you might find in a project manager, there are some differences.
A Scrum Team is comprised of developers, testers, a product owner and a Scrum Master. The Scrum Master maintains the processes of the team, so in this way is similar to a project manager in a traditional environment. The Scrum Master facilitates the meetings of the Scrum team and helps the team reach consensus. However, unlike the project manager in traditional environments, the Scrum Master is not considered the lead and is not held accountable for the final outcome of the team. The team is responsible as a whole and the Scrum Master does not bear additional responsibility.
The Scrum Master's role is to remove any impediments hindering the team from meeting their sprint goals. The Scrum Master ensures the agreed-upon rules of the team are followed and keeps the team focused on the tasks on hand.
Scrum and other agile methodologies are focused on collaboration with the business and work iteratively in order to allow for changes to requirements. For this reason, the project management style is considered more "adaptive."

Unnamed Republican consultants tell Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic that they are "struggling with" the Palin pick. "They expect her to have a good week… and then to crash and burn when she hits the campaign trail as scrutiny catches up with her."
Perhaps. That's one reaction from people angry that someone was chosen whose campaign business it never even occurred to them to seek. On the larger point, if you had to pick a politician in the United States most likely to say something embarrassing to party and candidate, your best guide to whether that would happen would be whether the person in question had a history of such misbehavior. Palin is from a small far-away state, but she took on a powerful party Establishment during the era of YouTube. There were plenty of people gunning for her. One can presume that if she had a history of gaffe-making, there would already be at least a limited record of it.
On the other hand, Joe Biden is the gaffe gift that keeps on giving — just last year he made two huge blunders, one about Obama being nice and clean for a black man, and another about how you have to speak in an Indian accent to get served at a 7-11. Biden has been making mistakes like this for at least two decades on a fairly regular basis. If you had to bet, the smart money would be on Biden blowing it first — because he has stuck his foot in his mouth so frequently before and because even over the past week he has shown signs of indiscipline and an overenthusiastic mouth.

Start Date: Apr 19, 2006
End Date: Apr 18, 2011
Established long-term field experiments evaluating the effect of crop rotation, residue management, fertility and tillage will be utilized to evaluate the research hypothesis that crop rotations, crop diversity, and crop sequence improves soil quality and productivity and that increased crop diversity, attained through the introduction of alternative crops and improved crop sequences into the traditional corn/soybean rotation, will improve crop yield and quality while maintaining or improving soil quality. To address the hypothesis that no significant effect of genetic modification of corn genotype on soil microbes (DNA compositional measures) and their processes (e.g., C&N transformations) will be detectable, a field experiment will be established evaluating several different corn isolines with and with out genetically modified organisms. To evaluate the hypothesis that cover crops and integrated weed management strategies will increase biodiversity and enhance sustainable crop production, research will be conducted in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of a small-plot field experiment in which different species of grasses and legumes will be evaluated as cover crops in a corn/soybean/spring wheat rotation. The viability of cover crops as a management tool for weeds and insects relative to chemically-driven pest management will be investigated in Phase 2 of the research. Field and greenhouse experiments will be established evaluating a number of different soybean genotypes to test the hypothesis that soybean genotypes with significantly more root length and mass in the top 10 cm of soil (extensive fibrous root system) will have a more positive impact on soil organic matter, aggregate stability, and soil strength than other soybean genotypes.

Every year, the IGN editors gather together in a cavernous underground vault and discuss our favorite games of the preceding 365 days. We argue, we whine, we sulk, we eat the middles out of sandwiches, we say things that can never be taken back. But we also have fun, because we love nothing more than discussing our favorite games. So, we figured, why only do it once a year?
Now that 2010 is more than halfway over, we decided to reflect on the preceding seven months and pick our top games from that period. This isn't an official award or declaration of overall IGN sentiment. Rather, it's simply a group of experienced editors explaining which games they've enjoyed most in 2010 so far. If you've ever wondered which genres and styles IGN editors are most drawn to and why, this is a great place to start.
There are still tons of amazing games scheduled to be released over the next few months. Metroid: Other M, Civilization V, Fallout: New Vegas, Halo: Reach, Gran Turismo 5, Medal of Honor and many more are waiting in the wings. We're looking forward to them all, but they already have some serious competition...
|Red Dead Redemption
Erik Brudvig, Xbox Executive Editor
I recently got a new kitten and named it Marston. That should tell you about all you need to know about how much I like Red Dead Redemption. I've been waiting a long time for videogames to do a proper Western, and that's exactly what Rockstar delivered. The characters are excellent and the story is fantastic, but it's the world open for exploration that did it for me. This is easily the game from the first half of 2010 that everybody simply must play.

Levi Buchanan, Editor
I don't necessarily consider myself a Western connoisseur, but they certainly are some of my favorite movies. And at many points during Red Dead Redemption, I got the same thrill I receive from watching John Wayne's hat appear over the crest of a hill, ready to dispense some justice. But Red Dead is not a perfect play – not by any stretch. Its second act drags. Characters that we invest in are tossed aside too easily, leaving unresolved narratives. Yet these disappointments are outweighed by Red Dead's highs, including the final two missions. The finale – and if you didn't see the credits roll, you didn't finish Red Dead – was one of the most emotionally satisfying game endings I've had the pleasure of completing.

I spent more time playing Mass Effect 2 than sleeping in the weeks following its release -- and I'm a firm believer in a good night's rest. ME2 nailed the perfect mix of elements I enjoy in contemporary games: great atmosphere, addictive "light" RPG leveling elements, competent shooting, good voice acting and a mostly non-embarrassing script. I chose to go for 100% completion and beat the game on "Insane" difficulty, which was like playing an unbalanced, unfair and evil version of the game -- still awesome, though!

Rainbow Rights: The Role of Lawyers and Courts in the Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights Movement, by Patricia A. Cain (Westview Press, 2000)
"This book describes the substantive state of the law with regard to lesbian and gay rights. It begins with some background information to put the modern fight for lesbian and gay rights in its proper historical context, then categorizes lesbian and gay rights claims into three areas - individual rights in private contexts, individual rights in public contexts, and couple or family rights thought of as private but pushing into the public sphere - that add up to a single principle: the right to be human in a modern society. By exploring the background, key cases, and important issues yet to be resolved, this book translates the legal claims and arguments into accessible language and concepts that will be of interest not only to lawyers and law students, but also to persons not trained in the law."

Hello :)
I am trying to find a saddle that fits my 4 year old filly. The pictures below are of the saddle I am trying now (my fifth one). So far, I think it's fit the best out of all the saddles I've tried. It seems to me to have good gullet width, even pressure, and a good wither clearance. The only problem, which I have found with every saddle I've tried, is they all seem to slide down in the front (whether the saddle is too wide or too narrow). I am going to try it on her again today a little bit better -Work her and see if there are any roughed up hair marks or dry spots.
I'm just wondering though, do you think this saddles would fit better if the rigging was a little farther behind? All the saddles I've tried have had this forward rigging. It seems like it pulls it down and makes it uneven. If the rigging was further behind, I don't think it would do this. What's your opinion? Could it be because she's going through another growing spurt right now and is built down-hill? Her front end needs to catch up again.
I have another thread going about fitting her saddle with LOTS of pictures.

After winning yesterday's giant slalom race, Acosta just barely missed out on a weekend sweep as he was two-tenth's of a second (0.20) behind Denver's Espen Lysdahl who won Sunday's slalom race with a time of 1:50.37. Acosta, a native of Ashland, Wisc., recorded a 1:50.57 and finished runner-up. It's his fifth top-five finish in 2013.

As state investment in public higher education lessens and private institutions continually look to philanthropy to move their institutions from "excellence to eminence," advancement officers continually need to increase their alumni engagement in order to reach their increasing institutional goals. Traditionally, institutions have relied on wealthy White men to reach their fundraising goals. As campaign goals grow and the economy recovers slowly, the smaller and medium size gifts are becoming more and more important to successfully raising the dollars needed, and there is an increased importance to engage all populations in advancement strategies, many that have historically been excluded from fundraising strategies. Expanding the Donor Base in Higher Education brings theory and practice together to look at how colleges and universities can build culturally sensitive fundraising and engagement strategies. This edited book explores the emerging research on different communities who have not traditionally been approached for fundraising-including LGBTQQI alumni, African Americans, Latinos, graduate students, young alumni, women, and faculty donors. Chapters discuss and analyze successful programs and--based on theory, research, and past practice--provide suggestions about how to create and implement fundraising programs that engage these new donor populations.

Starting the fad for billionaire owners to take over football teams and buy success immediately, Chelsea were the epitomy of much that seemed to have gone wrong with football. Especially when they then hired a manager in love with himself, happy to proclaim his genius before he'd even proven it, and through defensive football too.
That their captain is the most despised man in English football, John Terry, is one reason. That they signed a player who wrote in his own autobiography that he almost crashed his car when he heard he was only being offered Ł55,000 a week, Ashley Cole, who has subsequently moved from his boyhood club to their greatest rivals, is another. That they boasted a player, Didier Drogba, who would dive, feign injury and whine incessantly was another.
And last year, when Chelsea won the Champions League despite being outplayed in each and every one of their matches between the round of 16 and the final, beating the magical Barcelona on the way, neutrals would have been angered that this team had swiped the most coveted trophy in world club football.
Yet now, a mere few months on, something strange is happening. Chelsea are starting to be, yes, liked. It is not just that Terry has finally faced justice, or that Drogba is gone. Chelsea are actually playing good football. Their key men are now not functional, morally questionable individuals but humble foreigners with skill, guile and craft. Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard are a majestic trio whose talents can make Chelsea into one of the country's most exciting teams to watch. They still have some way to go to catch up with their rivals when it comes to style, but they are on the right path at least.
The team seems more humble than the one who preceded them. This could be a new Chelsea, a one less reviled. It is certainly closer to the one Roman Abramovich craved when he arrived at Stamford Bridge. Now, having won the Champions League, there is almost a freedom around to pursue more idealistic goals, such as playing good football.
There will be those who still despise the way Chelsea have achieved their glory, and critics will point to their monstrous debts and ask how they are able to get away with spending such unsustainable sums. Yet Chelsea are doing the most important thing in football public relations. Playing good football. What happens on the pitch is always most important, and after the antics of Terry and Cole of late, it is a welcome distraction that the rest of the team is playing so well, and lighting up the early weeks of the season.
Much more of this, and neutrals might even start to quite like Chelsea. Now that would be a bit odd. But refreshing, too, and not a moment too soon.

A look into the E-N archives.
Monthly Archive for July, 2011
Rupert Murdoch's 1973 purchase of E-N
Our published stories about the fallout from the hacking scandals of Rupert Murdoch's newspaper empire usually include a statement like "News Corp. owned the San Antonio Express-News between 1973 and 1993." So, I wondered: did we trumpet that purchase back in 1973? The answer: we didn't. I found some references in our electronic archive to […] [Read More]

Comments on "Does trading in an SUV for a gas-efficient car make economic sense?"
By Lew Nason
Insurance Pro Shop
I just read the article "Does trading in an SUV for a gas-efficient car make economic sense?" on ProducersWEB.com. The article states, "Whatever your politics are, it seems clear that the president has no short-term energy policy when it comes to dealing with the prices of oil." It goes on further to say, "His idea for those who drive SUVs was simple — get rid of them and buy fuel-efficient cars like the Chevy Volt. This shows how truly out of touch the president is and that he lives in some sort of green energy fantasy land."
The main thrust of the article is comparing the costs of keeping the SUV versus buying a new, more gas-efficient car. The article ends with: "...they should keep the gas hog, enjoy life, and still save more money than if they had bought the car the president and other green crusaders are trying to guilt them into buying."
There is very little our president or our so-called representatives in Washington, D.C. can do in the near future to control the price of oil while we continue to import 70 percent of the oil we use in the United States.
In 2000, the facts were:
"Currently, the United States consumes 19.6 million barrels of oil per day, which is more than 25 percent of the world's total. As a result, the U.S produces one fourth of the world's carbon emissions. Despite predictions that the U.S. will exhaust its supply of oil in as little as 40 years, the demand is on the increase, and is predicted to continue increasing, because of our ever increasing population. Increase in resource consumption is caused by three factors:
- Population growth
- New uses found for a resource
- Heightened demand for a resource to increase living standards
- Jason J. Churchill, October 25, 2000, Revised and submitted November 13, 2000.
Dependence on imported oil is the major problem
Our dependence on imported oil is the major problem, as this directly impacts our economy.
Research at my company suggests that today some economists are scaling back their estimates for growth this year, (2011) in part because flat wages and reduced social security income has left households struggling to pay higher gasoline prices. Oil has topped $108 a barrel, the highest price since 2008. Regular unleaded gasoline now goes for an average $3.69 a gallon, according to AAA's daily fuel gauge survey, up 86 cents from a year ago.
"Could the current spike in oil prices cause another catastrophic meltdown of the U.S. economy? In April of 2009, economist James Hamilton presented a hypothesis at the Brookings Institute stating that the huge spike in oil prices is what caused the U.S. economy to collapse in 2008."
"In Hamilton's report (on www.econbrowser.com), he states that high crude oil and gasoline prices hit the U.S. auto industry like a tsunami, causing a shockwave that rippled through large swathes of the rest of the economy, causing consumers to cut back on spending. Energy prices also devastated consumers' discretionary income and eroded their confidence. The housing meltdown did play a huge part in the 2008 recession that crippled the U.S. economy, but that too can be blamed on higher oil prices: Cheaper homes build deep in the suburbs, lost their value and went underwater when gasoline hit $4 a gallon."
- High Oil Prices Expected to Crash U.S. Economy, by Russell W. Dickson 4/18/11
More important and pressing issues
As a nation we are now some of the worst savers in the world
The savings rate in the U.S. has deteriorated overtime from a high of 14 percent in 1974 to reach a low of 0 percent in 2004.
"One out of three working Americans does not have retirement saving beyond Social Security, and about 35 percent of those over 65 rely almost totally on Social Security alone. Of the remaining two-thirds of working Americans that have some retirement savings, 27 percent report less than $1,000, 16 percent between $1,000 and $9,999, 11 percent between $10,000 and $24,999, 12 percent between $25,000-$49,999, and 36 percent $50,000 or more."
- Dallas Salisbury, president of the Alliance for Investor Education and the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). Perhaps the most shocking number is that about 60 percent of working Americans have $1,000 or less saved for retirement.
Consumer debt is out of control
The problem is most people have been too busy pursuing the American dream to worry about putting away anything for their future. And, they are now drowning in debt. The Federal Reserve surveys (Jan 2010) suggest that about 75 percent of households have at least one credit card, and 25 percent have none. If we count only those households that report actually having one or more credit cards, the average household credit card debt would be $9,858.
The latest 2010 statistics from the Federal Reserve indicate that the total amount of consumer debt (credit cards, auto loans, etc.) in the United States stands at nearly $2.4 trillion. We're talking about consumer credit, which does not include mortgage debt.
Based on the 2010 Census statistics, that works out to be nearly $7,800 in debt for every man, woman and child that lives here in the United States.
"Our nation's system of retirement security is imperiled, headed for a serious train wreck. That wreck is not merely waiting to happen; we are running on a dangerous track that is leading directly to a serious crash that will disable major parts of our retirement system."
- John Bogle, Feb. 24, 2009
When are we as financial advisers going to help people to establish better financial priorities and set their long-term financial goals?

Judea Reform to hold art sale
'Shake, shake the ketchup bottle,
None will come then a lot will.'
DURHAM -- That's the lament of the Judea Arts Committee as they sort the art that has been donated for sale at the "Art I Have Loved Sale" 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the social hall of Judea Reform Congregation, 1933 West Cornwallis Road.
The committee wondered whether they would receive enough pieces of art for their second annual sale. At first it was slow, but as the date of the sale approaches the pieces of art are flying in. The framed pieces range from small to large, very large, from contemporary to traditional. There are collages, original oil paintings, original watercolors as well as oodles of prints, posters and reproductions. There are even some photographs. Most are in excellent condition. There are a large array of coffee table and study art books, all to be sold for less than $5 a book.
It seems sad that these pieces of art are pieces that someone fell in love with and now must give away because they are downsizing. Their children don't like their taste or have no room of their own in which to put the art. There no longer is storage available. They now have a place to donate the art and the hope someone will love the pieces of art as they did.
It's even sadder that beautiful original oils, collages and watercolors will now be sold for a fraction of their worth. They will be sold for less then the cost of the frames alone. The committee has accumulated 250 separate pieces of art. If you are looking for a bargain, come and shop. The evening is free and will include a wine and cheese bar.
For information call Judea Reform Congregation at 919-489-7062

Stocks gain on hopes for a deal to avoid 'cliff'
Stocks gain on hopes for a deal to avoid 'cliff'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks gained on signs that lawmakers are edging toward a deal that would help the U.S. avoid the "fiscal cliff."
Indexes shrugged off an early loss and rose in afternoon trading Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 106.98 points at 12,985.11. It had been down as much as 112 points in early trading.
The Standard and Poor's 500 was up 10.99 points at 1,409.93. The Nasdaq composite rose 23.99 points to at 2,991.78.
Huge tax increases and spending cuts will come into effect Jan. 1 if no deal on the U.S. budget is reached. Economists say the measures could push the country back into recession. President Barack Obama said he believed both parties can reach a "framework" on a debt-cutting deal before Christmas, while House Speaker John Boehner told reporters that he was optimistic a deal could be reached, according news outlets including CNBC.
Craig Johnson, a Minneapolis, Minn.-based technical market strategist at Piper Jaffray, said lawmakers realize that there is too much at stake to allow the deadline to pass.
"I don't think that anybody in Washington is going to do something so draconian, or so negative, that we're going to trigger a recession," Johnson said. "There will be some compromise."
Concern that the U.S. will go over the fiscal "cliff" has weighed on stocks since the Nov. 6 elections returned a divided government to power, with President Barack Obama staying in the White House and Republicans retaining control of the House.
Uncertainty about a possible increase in capital gains taxes has been prompting investors to sell stocks, said Johnson.

Man's body found on Oak Creek Canyon floor
OAK CREEK CANYON, Ariz. -- Authorities in northern Arizona are investigating the death of a 27-year-old Cottonwood-area who apparently fell from the Midgley Bridge in Oak Creek Canyon.
Coconino County Sheriff's detectives say the man fell more than 200 feet to the canyon floor and the death may be a suicide.
Sedona 911 operators received a report of a vehicle stopped on the bridge with the driver's door open about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Sheriff's deputies found the vehicle unoccupied with the passenger side at an angle to the guard rail and bedroom slipper nearby.
The man's body was later found at the bottom of the canyon.
It was taken to Flagstaff and the county's medical examiner's office.
Sheriff's officials say the man's name is being withheld until his relatives are notified.

Two points:
First of all, subminimum wage workshops are a GREAT way to offer person with disabilities some sort of employment who otherwise would have ZERO options for work. Don't misunderstand either, it's not as if they are forced into this situation. If a person has higher skills and feels they can compete in the regular job market there are resources for them (Voc Rehab for one). The reason many people in sheltered workshops are paid less than minimum wage is because they do not produce at a rate that is equal to a person without disabilities. Should we force non-profits to subsidize this difference somehow? That is absurd. And if you don't understand how someone can be paid at $.40/hour then you have not been to a sheltered workshop and observed the working habits exhibited their.
Secondly, the article stated that she cannot have "as many" pizza parties or "as many community events". Wow, really? Wouldn't we all like to be able to have as many pizza parties and community events as we want? But as with everyone else, persons with disabilites need to live on a budget too. It's absurd to me that Disability Rights Oregon wants equal treatment for these persons and then uses that as an example, espcially in a time where many Oregonians would want to have any pizza, let alone a "pizza party". Perspective people, it makes a difference...
For shame,
you better get your facts straight before pointing out someone else's "fail". The ducks played BS in the 4th game of the season in 08. Your obsession with the ducks seems to be fading, or did that obsession not start until the last year or two? Either way, a trash can will get a steak every once in a while!
I get a kick out of haters who say that because Oregon hired a lawyer they must be guilty. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? If you were accused of a crime that you did not do, would you hire a lawyer or sit back and cross your fingers that everything will work out for you in the end? Not sure about you, but I am dang sure going to hire a lawyer to defend me...
you may want to go read up on what venoy overton has been up to before bringing up the fulmer cup. When was the last time the huskies beat the ducks?
And why do people keep saying Oregon hasn't won "anything" or that fans can't talk until the ducks win "something. Uhh, 2x defending pac10 champs, is that not worth anything anymore? Notice at the end, champs, meaning champions. How do people miss that? Oh that's right, because we beat all other pac10 teams so bad it has become a given that the ducks will win...Man I'd hate to live in that small, bitter world. Good luck next season dawgs and beavs, you'll need it.
Bush apologists are out in full force today I see. Unfortunately, this article is pointing to the claims that GWB made HIMSELF. You can talk all you want about the rest of the economic collapse and its reasons, but GWB said tax cuts would create jobs, shrink government, and improve employment and wages. Did any of this happen? NO! And no sane person can make the argument that the Bush tax cuts did what HE SAID they would do. Back to deflecting and changing the subject to something else, what all conservatives do when faced with real-world evidence...
Nwokie is right! People who smoke pot are just like murderers and should be treated as such!! Kill all the pot smoking, theiving murderers! I mean, come one, 50% of criminals are "addicted to pot" so ALL pot smokers must commit felony crimes. It all makes sense now!
Good work to the beavers baseball for proving everyone wrong. Great accomplishment! Wish it could have been my ducks but potential and reality are two different things. Good luck the rest of the year. Let's show the nation that great baseball is played in the state of Oregon! Get 'em beavs, and go ducks
Good luck to these two no matter where they end up. Both were high class guys. I had really high hopes that Teondre would turn into a stud at UO but, as with many players, the breaks just didn't fall in his favor. More room to bring in some fresh blood I suppose. Good luck TW and MS.
Someone already hit on it: The Passion. No fan base or game around the world can compare to the passion and environment of a soccer game. The chants, slogans, mantras, cheering, singing, jumping etc, etc, etc. all while the game is happening. If you ahven't felt it, you won't understand it, simple as that. Go Timbers! Go Everton! Go USA! and of course, Go Ducks!
Great job Timbers! Let's keep moving in the right direction. Keep up the fan support and the team will come along with it. Go Timbers!
you must be new to this flaming thing. For your education, espn3 is an internet based broadcast, so ESPN will NOT be "televising" the Auburn spring game, it will be available online. Good try though. And TCU with a stronger SOS? Don't be silly, TCU wasn't even close. Final Sagarin SOS rankings: oregon-10, TCU-76. Again, good try though. A little more practice and you will get there. Don't worry, ducks won't be going anywhere anytime soon so you will have plenty more articles to practice with...
If that's the case, then LSU will be without a few of their players whom Lyles "sent to LSU", so I guess we will be even at that point...
Keep the flames coming haters. The more hate you spew, the more it shows how high Oregon has risen in the past few years! The higher you go, the more haters come out of the woodwork.
The Trojan coach has heard the same refrains at arenas throughout the Pac-10 during his six-year tenure at USC, but he admitted that he is growing weary of them.
Straight from the article. IN other words, duck fans weren't the first to use those chants. Nice try though...
Side note:
number 10 will be playing in number 12's stadium against number 14's football team. Let the good times roll September 3rd!!!
LA lakers fans? Is that the one's that show up after halftime or the one's that leave before the game is over?
Duke? Are you kidding me? Some of the best fans in the world. And any knowlegable sports fan would acknowledge that...
I could go on, but, in other words, this list is garbage. Who put this together? Some 20 something hipster who has never been outside of New York? Garbage.
In the same vein, ducks venues can be pretty hostile towards certain crowds. All I can say, treat us with respect, you get the same. Talk trash, you get the same.
Carry on
duck taint,
Can't agree more with that. Just another example of how the line between D's and R's have blurred, regardless of some of our idealogical differences. Pols will continue to serve the rich until the rest of us wake up, though I am afraid we may be too late...
First, I think you are misreading. I was replying to someone who was angry at tax payer money going to "liberal causes". I was only replying that many, including myself, would not want tax payer money being used for war. I am as disappointed as anyone that Obama has not done more to stop it. Only more proof that all pols are the same pocket lining, greedy, self-serving hypocrites, whether it be a D or R behind their name. This is a class war, and as long as we keep electing the rich elite of the country, the income inequality will continue to sky rocket and this nation will continue down this destructive path we are on. THAT is my main concern...
And some random liberal blogger is no hero of mine, so I could care less what he wrote about years ago and what his beliefs are. If you want a homework assigment, research what less taxation and deregulation have done for us since Regan. Ohh wait, you don't have to, we are living in it...
duck taint,
Great, as Siski said above, both sides are in the pockets of wall street and big corporations. Is that supposed to make me feel better? What's your point? Mine is that I don't want to subsidize ANY coporations with these wars, whether it be Haliburton, GE, or the local pawn shop. So again, what's your point by pointing out another corporation making obscene profits off the lives of our brave soldiers?
Uhh, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few liberals who feel the "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan fall under "conservative causes". I agree with you, it's outrageous I have to subsidize Halliburton with my taxpayer money through these phony "wars". Two sides to every coin...
