Mercy Killers
Actor and playwright Michael Milligan takes the American healthcare crisis head on in his critically lauded one-man show, Mercy Killers, which arrives on tour for a short run over the next two weeks. Milligan, who has appeared on Broadway in the likes of August: Osage County and off Broadway in the original run of Will Eno's Thom Pain, cuts through the rhetoric with a straightforward tale. Blue collar, Rush Limbaugh-loving Joe has seen his world turn upside down after his wife, Jane, is diagnosed with cancer. Her illness slowly bankrupts the couple, which leads Joe to greater and greater acts of desperation. Milligan's play has been seen throughout the country and the world in the past couple of years, including readings and performances in the Twin Cities and Duluth early in the show's development. More recently, it has been to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and off Broadway. $25. 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays; 3 p.m. Sunday, April 27; 7 p.m. Sunday, May 4. 3501 Chicago Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-825-0459.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
I have a 3.7 GPA, I deserve more money for school
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Tuition is a little high for a two year college. Financial aid process is seamless
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I'm sure the cost of tuition is not bad for most people, but i grew up poor with a single mother and i work a part time job for minimum wage and the thought of the debt that i will have accumulated after college is scary. However to me, the importance of earning this degree out weighs the financial burden. So, in my opinion yes the tuition is worth the education
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I pay a good portion of my own tuition though I ask for more financial aid as an adult student, I imagine because I work I should pay more (or less) depending whose asking. I have tried to work within a budget for college, when I had an emergency ( my apartments were being remodeled, they gave everyone about 30 day notice to move) in the middle of the semester with added expenses, I told the financial aid department.....it was like talking to a brickwall, they did not do anything...so I kept plugging to make it all work out.....I'm living with a friend because I did not have the savings for tuition and the move..... hey the Financial Aid is a business not a charity so.......that's why I responding to this survey to find some cash for school......
Tuition & Financial Aid:
$100 parking pass for students! The financial aid department was very slow with distributing funds

King's High School principal Dan Reddiex has learned
the hard way that he is no longer one of the boys.
The 41-year-old received several fractured ribs and a
collapsed lung after colliding with a goalkeeper while
playing football last weekend and has spent the past week on
sick leave.
While he was in considerable pain yesterday, he said his
pride was in a much worse state.
''I was playing sport like a young man when I am clearly
not,'' he conceded.
He spent a night under observation at Dunedin Hospital.
Mr Reddiex had recently returned to King's after spending 10
weeks on a Woolf Fisher Fellowship
in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States,
examining different teaching practices.
He said the beauty of the technological age was he had been
able to continue some school work while lying horizontal in
his armchair trying to alleviate the pain from his recent
Mr Reddiex planned to be back on deck at school fulltime
And although he was feeling his age, he had not been deterred
from playing football and hoped to be back on the sports
field by the end of the year.

Unlike many others (I, II), Mark Cuban hopes Yahoo (YHOO) takes Facebook (FB) to the cleaners with its patent suit. His reason? Cuban believes a giant verdict in Yahoo's favor would make the public aware of "just how horrific our patent law is." While believing patent laws can protect innovators at times, he thinks they're far more likely to be "anti-competitive, corruptive, [and] impede creativity and innovation." (also)

I hope Yahoo takes FB to the cleaners too. I'm tired of hearing about FB. No one needs FB really, is that disclosed as risk in their S-1? It's not like they created something really beneficial. I find it so much more meaningful talking and keeping up with relatives overseas via Skype, Google Chat, etc.
Losing Paper While Gaining ..., contributorWhatever you think about him, yahoo, or facebook, he has a point. It's time for patents to be eliminated. Yes, all of them. No more hiding behind monopolies. Compete on merits of your product, not based on how many lawyers you have. Yahoo will continue to go the way of SCO if this is their new business model.
Losing Paper While Gaining ..., contributor
did you create anything yet? can i clone that and sell at 50% discount and pay you nothing for your invention? patent does not stop you from using other's patent as long as you pay a small fee for using it. what is wrong with that? check out the samsung blackberry curve. that is how good samsung can be...before they steal apple patent and made samsung galaxy II. they dont need to spend billions in reasearch n delelopment. now they sell phone for much less to kill the others. is that fair?

Dear WP Community,
I have an issue with moderation of comments and notification email not working to author.
The setup is like this:
E-mail me whenever (x) Anyone posts a comment
(x) A comment is held for moderation
Before a comment appears (x) An administrator must always approve the comment
I really want the author to receive a notification whenever a comment is held for moderation, but it seems that only the admininstrator is notified when it's held for moderation. Is it possible to get a notification emailed to the author aswell?
Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious?

To be self-controlled (Amp)
sober (YLT)
discreet (KJV)
to live wisely (NLT)
to use good judgment (GWT)
They can teach younger women to be wise (ICB)
"o be wise in mind (BBE)
temperate (Geneva)
Sensible (4998)
(sophron) has the idea that
they now have "saved" minds (derived from
sozo = save +
phren = mind) and a saved mind
should lead to right thinking which leads to right
living ("good deeds"). This means
having a sense of what is appropriate for them as Christians and
avoiding extremes. Such individuals should exhibit self restraint in
their passions and desires. They should
not allow evil conditions of Crete, including the immorality or
foolishness that was rampant, to distract them and win over their
attention and their interests. A modern day application would be "Don't
soak your mind with soap operas for this wrong thinking could lead to
wrong actions." Remember that ones outlook (or "uplook" for
believers) determines one's outcome; and if a person is not thinking
rightly, he will not act properly. Note that this same quality of
sensibility or one who is in control of oneself should characterize
elders (Titus 1:8-note), all older men (Titus
2:2-note), and, in fact, all believers (Titus
Common sense and good judgment should improve with age, but they should
be evident even in early adulthood.
A sensible
young women is in command of her mind. She has control of the things she
thinks about and does. She does not allow circumstances or the
immorality or foolishness of others to distract her and gain her
attention and interest. She not only does not become involved in things
that are outright immoral and unspiritual but also avoids things that
are trivial, foolish, and unproductive. She knows her priorities and is
devoted to them.
Spurgeon notes that this "exhortation
is as necessary in London as it was in Crete. Young men often know a
great deal, or think they do; and they are very apt to be intoxicated
with the idea of knowing so much, and being able to do so much, so that
the exhortation to them is to "be sober minded."
PURE: hagnas:
chaste" (Amp)
to be morally pure" (GWT)
clean in heart" (BBE)
clean minded" (TLB)
Pure (53)
(hagnos) refers primarily to moral purity, and, especially in this context, to
sexual purity and marital faithfulness. Christian women as young wives are
"to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not
with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments; but rather by
means of good works, as befits women making a claim to godliness" (1Ti 2::9
10). "Modestly" refers to a healthy sense of shame at saying
anything, doing anything, or dressing in any way that would cause a man
to lust. "Discreetly" refers to moral control, to keeping
passions, esp sexual passions, subdued.

oikourgous: (Ge16:8,9;

homemakers (Amp)
to take care of their homes (ICB)
diligent in home work (Darby)

good managers of the household (NRSV)
industrious in their homes (Weymouth)
fulfilling their duties at home (NET)
at home (3626) (oikourgós
from oikos = home, household + ergo = to
work) one devoted to home duties, preoccupied with domestic affairs, or
as we might say today "a homemaker" and stands in contrast with the
conduct of the younger Ephesian widows who were "idle" and going
"around from house to house" (1Ti 5:13).
The KJV translates this section "keepers at home" because it uses
another Greek noun (Textus Receptus has "oikourous") but
most authorities (A T Robertson, Marvin Vincent, etc) and most modern
translations (NASB, etc) favor the older manuscript use of oikourgós. Even if one favors the KJV, it should be emphasized
that "Keepers at home" does not suggest that the woman's
home is a prison where she must be kept! The idea is that she is
"Caring for the home" and the wise husband allows his wife to manage the
affairs of the household, for this is her ministry. It was estimated
that in year 2000, up to 80% of women age 25-54 were involved in the the
workplace. More women are entering or staying in the work
force after having a baby. These numbers are interesting in light
of a survey by Family Circle magazine which revealed that 68% of women
surveyed would prefer to stay at home with their children if
economically feasible.
Spurgeon notes that "There were some women who supposed
that, the moment they became Christians, they were to run about
everywhere. "No," says the apostle, "let them keep at home." There
is no gain to the Christian Church when the love, and the industry, and
the zeal, which ought to make a happy home, are squandered upon
something else. The young women of Crete appear to have been such that
they needed to be taught "to love their husbands." That expression
does not occur elsewhere in Scripture. Christian women do not need to be
told to love their husbands; but these Cretans, just brought out of the
slough of sin, had to be taught even this lesson. Oh, what a blessing is
love in the marriage relationship, and what a gracious influence love
has upon children! How are they to be brought up aright except the whole
house be perfumed with love?
KIND: agathas:
(Acts 9:36,39; 1Ti 5:10) -
good-natured (kindhearted) (Amp)
Kind (18)(agathos) refers to that which is "good" in its character
or constitution, beneficial in its effect. Luke illustrates the meaning
of agathos describing different quality of soil --
seed fell into the
(agathos) soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a
hundred times as great." (Lu 8::8)
Agathos then refers to that which has the proper characteristics
for performing the expected function in a fully satisfactory way.
And so these young women are to be gentle, considerate, amiable,
congenial, and sympathetic, even with those who are undeserving and
unkind to them.
To be kind is to be godlike, for
Jesus said that "Himself is kind

Paul admonishes
the believers at Ephesus to "be
(agathos) to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving
each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you (Eph 4:32-note).

hupotasso) means literally to set
something in place up under something else and in context refers to wife
placing herself up under her husband and his authority. Paul is saying
to the young wives
Be willing to place yourself in a position under your husband who is the
authority of your family. Be in that position of being submissive.
KJV has "obedient to their
own husbands" but that is not accurate translation of the verb hupotasso.
There is a different Greek verb
for "obedient" (hupakouo from
= under + akouo = hear) and it refers to the relationship
of an inferior to a superior. For example God commands
obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right (see note
Ephesians 6:1)
God tells the children that they
must obey their parents and that they have no option. This verb is NEVER
used in reference to the interaction of a husband and wife.
Hupotasso in contrast is the
word that talks about two people who are absolutely equal in God's eyes.
The wife makes a choice to place herself as an equal underneath another
equal, her husband, in order that there can be order and function in the
family. The purpose is so to meet the design that God has ordered.
was a military term describing soldiers lining up under their authority
also referred to the arrangement of military implements on a battlefield
in such a way as to facilitate effective warfare. As Paul explains
(Eph 5:22-note),
the structural function of the family, like that a successful military
regimen requires both authority and submission. Submission is a
general spiritual attitude that is to be true of every believer in all
relationships. If a wife is more gifted and capable than her husband,
rather than dominating him, she should encourage and aid him to be more
active in home leadership and in serving the local church. If tempted to
nag, she should resist the temptation and praise him instead. Here what
Paul is saying is that the young wife is to subject herself continually
tense) to her "own husband" and that this
is not something the wife does one time
so that she can get something but that submission is to be a way of life
so that daily she is to be being under her husband's authority. And what
should be the motivation? It's not because she loves her
husband so much, but it is because she loves Jesus. "Out of loving You,
Lord, I am going to do what You have told me to do." That is the genuine
motivation of submission. And being continually filled with the Holy
Spirit (Eph 5:18-note)
and the Holy Word (Col 3:16-note)
is the only way one can truly submit. The flesh may bow on the outside,
but it is resisting on the inside. But when one is filled with the
Spirit and walking by the supernatural power provided by the Spirit (Gal
then one will not fulfill the desire of the flesh! Don't try to
accomplish submission in your own intrinsic power! You cannot do it
without supernatural (Holy Spirit) enablement!!!
Please understand
does not mean. It does not mean that
the wife is commanded to obey her husband as a child would obey his
parents. A lot of men treat their wives as "door mats" walking over them
as if they were inferior.
Hupotasso does not allow for
such dictatorial behavior by the husband.
in no way implies
superiority of the husband over the
wife in God's eyes. However, by God's design for an order and function
in the family, He does say in essence
choose to put yourself under the headship of your husband
so that the family will function as was
originally intended by God and all the Cretans would see the impact of
the gospel.

from bláx = sluggish, slow, stupid + phémē =
rumor, fame) OR MORE LIKELY (derived from bláptō = to hurt,
injure, harm + phémē from phēmí = to speak) means
literally to speak to harm and in general therefore means to
bring into ill repute and so to slander, to defame (to harm the
reputation of by libel or slander), speak evil of, to rail at
(revile or scold in harsh, insolent, or abusive language and rail
stresses an unrestrained berating), to speak calumny (noun form =
a misrepresentation intended to blacken another's reputation = the act
of uttering false charges or misrepresentations maliciously calculated
to damage another's reputation), to calumniate (verb form = to
utter maliciously false statements, charges, or imputations about -
calumniate imputes malice to the speaker and falsity to the assertions)
In short blasphemeo means to be
spoken of slanderously. In this case if the young women failed to live
as Paul has outlined, the message their lives proclaim is one that
slanders the reputation of the Word of God. Those opposed to the Gospel
of grace are quick to spot the inconsistent lives of those who profess
to be influenced by the Gospel and don't hesitate to point out the
inconsistency. Genuine conversion ought to produce the virtues listed
here by Paul and when their walk does not match their talk, the Word of
God and the transforming power of the Gospel is impugned as no better
than their Cretan paganism. In sum, the evil things we say and do and
good things we fail to say and do, dishonor God and His Word before
Jowett rightly said that
Fine living is not only a fine
argument, it is also an effective silencer of bad men.
Phillips paraphrases it we
are to be
"a good advertisement for the Christian faith".
Unbelievers judge the genuineness
and value of our faith more by our life than by our theology. In doing
so, they judge the truth and power of the word of God by the way in
which we live, and how we respond to trials...anyone can look ''happy''
when everything's coming up roses!. The world judges the gospel, the
heart of God's word, by the transformed character of those who say they
The 19th-century German
philosopher Heinrich Heine said,
"Show me your
redeemed life and I might be (emphasis on "might") inclined to believe in your Redeemer."
For a person to be convinced that
God can save him from sin, he needs hear the gospel for that alone is
the power of God (see note
Romans 1:16) but his "hearing" might begin by his observing
a believer who has been saved from sin and who lives a life relatively
separated from sin, someone who has hope where there was once despair,
someone who now radiates Christ in them the hope of glory.
Steven Cole - Younger women
must be godly homemakers so that the word of God will not be dishonored
(Titus 2:4-5).
Many younger women have no understanding of how important the job of
homemaking is. Also, they lack practical training in how to do it.
Frankly, sometimes they are undisciplined, sitting around watching TV
soap operas or game shows when they should be cleaning or organizing the
house or shopping for family needs. I am so glad that Marla has made our
home a refuge for me. It is a pleasant place to be because she is
pleasant and because of her work and creativity. Paul says that the
older women are to make the younger women sensible in seven areas:
(1) The younger women are to love their husbands. This implies that love
is not automatic. It takes deliberate effort. The word that Paul uses
implies the love of friendship. A husband and wife should cultivate a
close companionship. Love for your husband begins in how you think about
him each day. If you grumble about his bad habits and run him down all
day in your thoughts, you are not loving him. You must begin by thanking
God for him and by thinking about his needs and how you can meet them.
The love of friendship requires time together, sharing your thoughts and
(2) The younger women are to love their children. Again, it doesn't come
naturally, especially when they try your patience by their disobedience.
You are sinning against God and your children if you slap them around or
angrily call them derogatory names. Write down the qualities of biblical
love (1 Cor. 13:4-7) and read them over daily so that they begin to
describe how you relate to your children. The Greek word here also
implies the love of friendship. While you are always your children's
mother, as they grow older you should also cultivate a friendship with
(3) The younger women are to be sensible. There is that word again! It
means to be in rational control of one's impulses and passions.
(4) The younger women are to be pure. This refers to sexual purity. You
should not watch TV shows or read magazines or novels that feed your
imagination with the supposed pleasures of illicit romance. Usually
women are tempted to sexual immorality when their emotional needs are
not being met. If that is true of you, talk to your husband about those
needs. An adulterous affair will not meet your needs in the long run.
(5) The younger women are to be workers at home. Yes, this sounds
outdated and sexist, but it is God's design and wisdom. No woman gets to
the end of life and says, "Ah, I've had a satisfying life as a corporate
executive!" Seeing your family walking with God and loving one another
brings true joy. You have to work to make your home a beautiful and
pleasant place for your family.
(6) The younger women are to be kind. The Greek word literally is,
"good," but in the context it includes kindness. It means to be a nice
person to be around. The kind or good woman thinks of the needs of
others and goes out of her way to meet those needs. When a family member
is upset or discouraged, she responds with sympathy and kind words.
(7) The younger women are to be subject to their own husbands. This is
about as out of sync with American culture as it could be, but it is
still God's word of truth. You have a choice: God's way or the world's
way. The world's way asserts self; it stands up for one's rights. It
makes demands on others in order to get one's own way.
God's way submits first of all to Jesus as Lord. It judges selfishness.
It seeks the good of others ahead of self. God's way is (Phil. 2:3), "Do
nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind
regard one another as more important than yourselves." God's way of
submission grates against our fallen, selfish human nature. Submission
does not imply inferiority or becoming a doormat. "To be subject" is a
military term, to put oneself in rank under another. Although Jesus is
equal with the Father, He voluntarily put Himself under the Father to
carry out the divine plan of salvation. Christian marriage is to reflect
the image of God. Husbands and wives are to be an earthly picture of
Christ and the church, with husbands loving their wives sacrificially
and wives respecting and submitting to their husbands (Eph. 5:22-33).
The reason that Paul gives is, "so the word of God will not be
dishonored" (2:5). This probably applies to all of the qualities that he
has just listed, including submission. A wife who claims to be a
Christian but who does not demonstrate love for her husband and
children, moral purity, and being a godly homemaker, is not a good
advertisement for the gospel. But a wife who practices these things
stands out from the world's ways. Like the woman in Proverbs 31, she
will be praised, and when she is praised, she will deflect the praise to
the Lord, giving Him the glory.
Conclusion - God wants all of us to focus on becoming His beautiful
people—not the outward, fading beauty of the world, but the inner,
lasting beauty of a heart that is obedient to Him. We refer to a
beautiful person as attractive, because beauty attracts. A beautiful
place, like the Grand Canyon, attracts people to it. The body of Christ
should be so beautiful that those who do not know the Savior are
attracted to Him through us. So, get to work on helping this church
develop into a beautiful body for His glory! (Lesson
6- Developing a Beautiful Body – Part 1 Titus 2:1-5 - Bible.org)
Surprise and Astonish Them - MARK Twain took delight in exposing the
follies of human behavior. He once said,
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."
People are often surprised when someone does what is right. That's why
it made national news a few years ago when a high school basketball
coach turned in his state championship team after discovering that he
had unknowingly used an ineligible player. He and his team had achieved
the dream of every coach and every prep athlete—one that carries with it
a lifetime of cherished memories. But they gave it all back—the trophy,
the glory, the pride. They gave it back so they could keep something
more important—their integrity.
Doing what's right is not a new idea. David realized what it took to
walk in integrity. He knew that to do right he would have to avoid
hypocrisy and dishonesty. Integrity was worth more than anything he
could gain by sacrificing it.
Doing right has a price tag. It may cost money if we refuse to cheat; it
may cost time if we refuse to cut corners; it may cost plea-sure if we
refuse to compromise a moral standard; it may cost relationships if we
refuse to support unethical behavior.
But none of these is worth more than integrity.—J D Brannon (Our

ITS is the research and engineering laboratory of NTIA. ITS supports NTIA by performing the research and engineering that enables the U.S. Government, national and international standards organizations, and many aspects of private industry to manage the radio spectrum and ensure that innovative, new technologies are recognized and effective. ITS also serves as a principal Federal resource for solving the telecommunications concerns of other Federal agencies, state and local Governments, private corporations and associations, and international organizations.

ITS will host a series of four webinars in July for researchers from government, academia, and industry to begin development of draft best practices for propagation measurements to assess the impact of losses caused by clutter on estimates of aggregate interference to incumbent systems in the 3.5 GHz band. As the FCC proceeds with rulemaking to open the 3.5 GHz band to sharing, a number of organizations have begun executing propagation loss measurements in the band. One important goal of these measurements is to assess the impact of clutter (man-made structures and foliage) on estimates of pathloss for use in aggregate interference models. This is a new research question and no standardized best practices exist for this type of measurement. At these webinars, we will discuss key requirements for measurement system design and validation. For more information, click on our Propagation Measurements Workshop Webinars page.
The topic of the 15th International Symposium on Advanced Radio Technologies will be Spectrum Forensics, that is, spectrum measurements that support interference monitoring, investigation, and enforcement. As more and more spectrum users are pressed to operate in shared bands, effective spectrum sharing will require an entirely new legal and regulatory environment, as well as sophisticated technologies that can reliably thread the three parameters of time, frequency, and location to deliver acceptable service in shared bands without interfering with other users of the same or adjacent bands. Spectrum forensics will help build and maintain good fences to make good neighbors. A prequel tutorial will provide essential background for ISART participants who are not familiar with the FCC Enforcement Bureau's criteria and process for both civil and criminal spectrum infringement investigations. Several meetings will be collocated with ISART—a meeting of the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee (CSMAC), the Wireless Spectrum Research and Development (WSRD) monthly meeting and a Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) Spectrum Sharing Committee meeting that will run through Friday.

In the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the NBA's Western Conference finals, Lakers forward Karl Malone lowered his shoulder and tattooed Timberwolves guard Darrick Martin, sending Martin to the floor.
Malone was ejected and fined $7,500, but some folks, including ESPN's David Aldridge, think the penalty was just a slap on the wrist.
We want your take, SportsNation. Did Malone get off easy? Is the league looking out for the Lakers? And what do you expect to see now?

Yeah, it's mod_rewrite. I was able to leave a comment using the normal strings:
Regenerate your permalinks rules in options, and then properly cut and paste those into your .htaccess file.
If it still doesn't work, consider disabling the permalinks options for now until you can figure out why the mod_rewrite rules are not working. Probably need to consult your host for that.

My name is Jamison Huhner and my blog presents and discusses claims to fame for small towns all over the U.S. And other random nonsense. Claims to fame include celebrity residents past and present, historic events (battles, crimes), oddities, records of some sort and a million other things. I'm a graduate of Devils Lake Central and, eventually, a graduate from the University of North Dakota with degrees in Russian/Soviet studies and business. After college I moved south to Atlanta before finally ending up in Nashville where I now live with my wife and twin boys.
The Small Town – Hancock, MA Population 717 (2010 Census)
The Claim to Fame – Shaker Village
The fact that Hancock, MA was once home to a Shaker village is not of great note. There were more than a few of these communities spread out all over the eastern half of the country decades ago. But Harvard's Shaker community, like all the rest, is gone.
Each and every one of them is gone. Hmmm? I wonder why. I wonder if their disappearance has anything to do with the fact that one of their core beliefs is celibacy. Now I'm no expert in such matters, but if you want your community to remain an ongoing entity, celibacy isn't a real good starting place.
I realize you can recruit from outside the fold, but, once again, this celibacy thing is problematic. It isn't really sweetening the deal. It's not a real great sales pitch for potential recruits.
And to top it all off, just in case anybody's natural instinct to procreate got the best of them, the communities went to great lengths to keep members of the opposite sex away from each other by having separate living quarters.
So, each and every Shaker community ultimately disappeared from the face of the earth. Hmmmm, mysterious.
Now if you are really serious about establishing a self-perpetuating community, it would be a good idea to emulate the Catholics and abolish birth control.

In a recent post, our Party Organ Donor Ivan Betinov described his "disturbing and traumatic experience" caused by a phone answering system that directed him to "press one for English" and "PRESS TWO FOR SPANISH." Being a "differently bodied" Comrade in a Jar, Betinov was outraged by this country's continued attempts to make second-class citizens out of our undocumented worker population. He then brilliantly suggested that it was demeaning always to relegate them to "number two" status, not to mention other non-English speakers. This got me thinking: why is the "number 1" always given such status? Should not all numbers be treated as equals?
The Campaign for Numerical Equality has begun! 1+1=2?
NO! Replace all numerals with "X"!

Commissar PupovichActually, there is a very good reason why we chose to use X exclusively in this paper Comrades. We understood, as has been demonstrated in several posts, that the explanation of the People's Math™ could prove difficult for some of our comrades as it is. Therefore, in an effort to try and minimize confusion and maximize understanding, it was critical to use but one letter.
Comrade Pupovich
In your descent into capitalist pride at being recognized by our Most Equal (Red Square) and thus being Unsocialistically Placed on a People's Pedestal above the rest of us, you forget the most important mathematical principle: Absolute Value. In the Peoples Math, all values must be Absolute. All Pedestals must be equal height. To paraphrase the Party Lion, Comrade Kennedy, "How else can we make everyone above average?" Therefore, your pedestal must be as deep in a trench as are the rest of our pedestals. Indeed, most of our pedestals-- save those of our beloved leaders-- must be holes, lest we become too vain to wear the "Che" shirts to glorify the Revolution.
For those not yet graduated from the Peoples' ReEducation Camp, "Absolute Value" in the Peoples Math is the same as "Absolute Value" in other scientific disciplines--viz:
Death Science: Dead=Dead; Really Dead=Dead; Extremely Dead=Dead, and, of course, the reverse is equally "Absolute" and is generally the most scientifically appropriate expression of the Formulae of Absolutisms:
Dead=Really Dead
Dead=Extremely Dead
Reproduction Science:
More Pregnant=Pregnant
Extremely Pregnant=Pregnant.
I digress for the sake of science: I must confess having seen someone "extremely pregnant" (decades ago). It required great communication skills on my part to enable her to understand that she was merely "pregnant"; however, the stupid capitalist gynecologist convinced her otherwise and then helped her deliver concrete proof. It was then I discovered the solution-- If More Pregnant=Pregnant, then Less-Pregnant=Pregnant; hence Pregnant=Finished Being Pregnant, so I rested my case. Now, back to today's lesson:
Extremely Sexy=Sexy
Even the most loyal party members sometimes forget this Principle of Absolute Value. For example, last year, Sharon Stone expressed the deviant thought that Hillary is "too" sexy to be President. (That link is to the WayBack Machine's archives of the internet, so scroll-down on that page to find the March 27, 2006 article.) We NOW know that since all women are equally sexy, none can be "too" sexy. And, NOW that Hillary has begun her Long March to the White House, Sharon Stone has finally recognized that all women are equally sexy and therefore, she now "exhibits" her support for Hillary:
Nevertheless, as shown below (in Flash or wmv format), there remain some women who seem determined to undermine Party Doctrine that all women are "equally sexy." (Patience may be required for loading-time before "play" becomes operational)
Now, to resume the lesson by focusing on labor.
Overtime Labor=Labor
Ooops-- can't go there-- This might cause a disability in the lever-pulling arms or chad-punching fingers or screen-touching fingers of our always dependable Unionized Order of Perpetual Students in Voting ReEducation. I guess we sometimes must sacrifice science on the altar of what's best for those on the pedestals higher than, but equal in height to, our own.
So, Comrade Pupovich, the Collectivist Power of my mind's knowledge that all our pedestals are equal enables me to block the pain of the strain in my neck as I turn my head steeply upward to admire your glorious visage on your pedestal, the height-of-which-greater-than-mine=the-height-of-mine. Hence, the final formula:
Average Pedestal=Pedestal
Higher Pedestal=Pedestal
Lower Pedestal=Pedestal
Thus, your Higher Pedestal=My Extremely Low Pedestal. I bow to your superior equality.

In your descent into capitalist pride at being recognized by our Most Equal (Red Square) and thus being Unsocialistically Placed on a People's Pedestal above the rest of us, you forget the most important mathematical principle: Absolute Value.

O'BrienNot only should we mandate equality in numbers, but in letters as well. We should mandate that letters be given equal representation in sentences, a Fairness Doctrine fot the Alphabet if you will. For every letter used you must use all of the other letters in the alphabet in that sentence.

The TsarevnaComerades! We must contact CAIR before changing numerals or insisting that they not be used. Numerals are, after all, Arabic, and we do not want to seem xenophobic. All things are equal, but numerals are perhaps even more so.

Commissarka PinkieI thought X = whatever I want it to be--whatever makes me feel good about myself. That's what they told me in public school. Anything else could shatter my self-esteem and make me want to go out and get a job working for some capitalist slimebag (pardon the redundancy).

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN NFL insider: Mike McCoy the 'leader in the clubhouse' for Cardinals job
ESPN NFL insider John Clayton does not know who the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals will be, but he told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday he believes Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy has a good shot.
"I honestly think it could be Mike McCoy," he said. "When you look at it, Mike McCoy is probably the hottest of the assistant coaches."
McCoy, who interviewed with the Cardinals last Saturday, is looked at as one of the top assistant coaches ready to make the leap to the head job.
An assistant on the Carolina Panthers' staff from 2000-2008, the Broncos hired McCoy to run their offense in 2008. He's credited for being able to get the most out of the talent he has to work with on offense, which has to be intriguing to a team like Arizona.
"He was able to work so well with Peyton Manning and he's done so well when he worked with Jake Delhomme," continued Clayton. "He's ready, and so he would be the hottest guy.
"When you start to handicap it, knowing that they have a good chance to go to the Super Bowl or at the very least they're going to be in the championship game, you have to wait for Mike McCoy."
And therein lies the rub with regards to McCoy. While a team like the Cardinals may want him and he may want the Cardinals, he cannot go anywhere until the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs. And as the AFC's top seed, there is a good chance they'll be playing in Super Bowl XLVII.
