Name calling have played a tremendously powerful role in the history of the world. They have ruined reputations, sent others to prison cells, and made men mad enough to enter battle and slaughter their fellowmen. The name-calling technique links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. The propagandist who uses this technique hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence. I have to agree with Spiridon woman wheelchairs and iPods are all equally distracting and dangerous on the road. But I must add male runners in the list as well. I think the people who were running races back in the 70's with their dogs on or off a leash should still be ban. Let's keep the rest in road racing.;-)
I agree.And what is with all this telling people what they "should and shouldn't do/need to do...." etc.We are individuals and we run for many different reasons.And as far as Katie Holme's time in NY...AWESOME JOB.There is no shame in running a 6 hour marathon.Or a 10 hour one for that matter.It's the persons' spirit ,and fact that they are in that 1% population of the world that has the courage to do this, that counts.How dare anyone sit on this board and criticize someone else's time.They don't have that right.
Dress like a turkey,wear an ipod,socoalize,talk to everyone or talk to nobody .Run your own race.Just be aware of your surroundigs and use common sense and courtesy in a race.Don't we sign something anyway that says we don't hold the race responsible for whatever happens out there?:p
JR007; now that's the first thing you have said that I agree with. Although I despise the rule (and somewhat despise supports of the rule) prohibiting iPods and other similar devices during road races, it is a rule and should be adhered to. And I further agree that no one should be using their time from USATF sanctioned races in which they used an iPod to qualify for another race; cheating is cheating.
In fact, this is such a big violation of USATF rules that race directors should begin investing in on course monitoring equipment to identify runners who violate this rule and disqualify those runners from the race.
<<<<"In fact, this is such a big violation of USATF rules that race directors should begin investing in on course monitoring equipment to identify runners who violate this rule and disqualify those runners from the race. "
I really have to laugh at the comments (pro and con) related to the "how to" enforce a ban. What absolutely astounds me is the comments from race personnel connected with larger races. I understand why runners who don't volunteer for anything at a race are always asking question (very accusing ones most often) about that which they would know IF they volunteered for other than a water stop. But some of these supposed RDs are really very small thinkers in that they think every action has to be complicated.
Here are some typical comments. "How would they ever enforce it?, "They'll never stop it all". The latter being the stupidest thing that can ever be said as a retort to stopping anything. Hello, you don't need to stop it all. You just need to stop most of it.
While the ban is about "cheating" to some degree, it is more about reducing the odds on safety issues, and whether the opponents of the ban like it or not, ipods are hundreds of times more of a risk than all the other distractionary risks tossed out by opponents to muddy the waters. Deaf people live with having to be more aware of thier surroundings as a way of life, so saying they don't pay attention is not reality. Deaf people observe so much more than you or I because they have to. Most races by a huge factor (this isn't just about large races) don't have wheelchair racers.
Anyway, you don't have to find and ban all those in a race. Human nature will take care of that. All the race has to do is:
1) Have the "waiver" state that if a runner is viewed and photographed "possessing" a ban device in the race, the runner agrees that they will pay (have charged to their credit card or whatever) a special fee of $300 or $400.
2) Have a person with a clipboard on the course (at an unlikely spot) writing down a few numbers with a camcorder running full time. I've also found that the race hired photo people who take pictures of everyone to sell capture phenomenally clear shots of al the violators.
Then you just slam a few on the runners with the heafty fee, publicize it and only the profoundly stupid with continue bring ipod to a race. Remember the goal is not to engage is a silly continuous game with the runners by disqualifying them, as many don't care about that. The goal is to STOP the use. Human nature will do that.
The "possessing" business is so runners don't get the option to jerk around race officials with "Oh, I wasn't wearing it". This isn't a game folks.
Oh, and before someone comments that my suggestion isn't "Fair". This isn't about "fair". When a person agrees to do something and then goes back on their word, they relinquish any right to be treated with either fairness or courtesy. I also don't ever feel a need to pressured into being "fair" with those who knowingly put themselves in harms way by electing to chose to do something they had the option of not doing.
Wonder women, a man with ONE Leg hops. He most likely had a Carbon fiber composite leg along with the one he was born with. Biohybrid carbon fiber composites are increasingly being used in artificial limbs, largely because of their superior strength to weight characteristics. Carbon fiber springs are acknowledged to be the most effective at storing and releasing energy in running. It enables Paralympics to complete the 100 meter dash within about one second of the Olympic record. We purest had our own marathon, but it's against federal and state laws for us to go back to 1966. People whose limbs are damaged by birth or life's hard knocks have the Paralympics. Why not Womathon's and ipodathons as well as the original marathons? And how about a no loser-athons were everyone's time is the same. Is seems that all of you are searching for an advantage in order to move up and elbow elite runners from out in front with carbon fiber, laws and ipods. You're only superior to us if you beat us with out your technology. It appears that all that indoor running on treadmills and drinking vitamin water has softened the whole lot of you. So, why not have the USATF water down racing even more? Wonder Women you win put it all in a marathon. But until you ban timed race, my time will be faster then yours... Yes, I will go back to my cave now, just as long as you don't revitalized it and make it a beauty, fun, amazing thing.
<<<<Don't we sign something anyway that says we don't hold the race responsible for whatever happens out there?:p
I'm using the term YOU as a general reference to the running community and necessarily about the poster to which I'm replying.
This isn't about just YOU. If some of you don't like my implied tone then don't be an "It's all about ME" person.
Regardless of what you sign, if you are hurt seriously you and your lawyers will still come after the race and that will cost the race and the insurance company money and time. You see that sort of thing regularly on the news where some idiot who clearly has no case, hires a high profile lawyer just to get a "settlement". The odds say YOU would not do the honorable thing and leave the insurance company and race alone.
Even more meaningful to me as a race director is my exposure to having my apparent legal protection stripped away because I (the race) am accused of negligence when YOU cause injury to someone else. I can not in good conscious claim I didn't know that allowing ban devices into a race was a bad idea and practice. Even if I lied about that, the other runner's lawyer (the one YOU caused injury to) would claim I (the race) "should have known that a serious hazard existed". And their lawyer, unlike most you runners, will have access to the risk statistics of the insurance companies and push the risk factor that you the ipod user, are choosing to ignore because it suites your position.
BTW, you can always vote with your feet and not attend races that ban IPODs. But then since most of the races that will be doing the banning early on are races that sell out, it is with great glee that I say, "stay home". There will be hundreds or thousand (depending on the size of the race) who will gladly take your place. Why, because of human nature. Most runners run for running first, the music is an ad on and secondary. We can listen to music almost anywhere, but we can't always find the best races if start to limit our options.
JR007, I'd love for you to explain how this is cheating - my wearing an iPod. Seriously? That's a strong term for having music accompany you on a race. I don't believe we can compare running with an iPod to say - steroids? Which is ligitimate cheating? I am not in contention to win the race, I just qualified. AND furthermore, I have run races without my iPod as well and find I prefer with it. My timing is not significantly different when I run with as opposed to without.
I understand not allowing elites to have anything extra - they must all start on the same level. AND they have their own start time at road races so they already have separate rules than the rest of us. But for your average marathon runner out there to beat their own time and not a contender to be on the top 3 medal stand at the end the rule is a bit much. I am sure I am not the only person who qualified with an iPod. I'm sure those who didn't qualify without one don't care. They know music would not have given them a qualifying time, you're either that fast or you're not.
You are right though about two things - maybe someone from USATF can get on here and thoroughly explain the logic and how they decided on the rule? And why it doesn't also ban the many other devices people use during road races? And there is so much going on in a tri it is not a good idea there, I don't use my iPod in triathlon.
This is my train of thought (maybe I'm wrong, someone tell me if I am). To qualify for the Boston marathon you had to run a certain time under the rules of the marathon. Ipods are illegal in marathons. A rule. By wearing an ipod you are breaking a rule. When someone knowingly breaks a rule they are cheating.
I can't say whether the persons place that you took would care or not (my guess is that he would rather run in it than not). I'm not even saying that the ipod helped you (although you said it gave you an oopmph going up a hill). I know that others that wore an ipod in a marathon and qualified for the Boston marathon cheated. As I said before, while it may be a stupid rule, it's still a rule. Does the USTAF have a list of important rules and unimportant rules?
As I said before, run with your music if you want. Run your own race.
I would also like to apologize to Katie Holms for mocking her time. I must ask though, does running a marathon take courage? Fire fighters, relief workers in Africa, the Coast guard all seem to have courage to me. Marathon runners work hard and have a certain spirit but I don't know that courage is a good adjective. Also, at what point is someone running a marathon and at what point are they walking one? Does walking a marathon and running in one take the same amount of training?
Just my opinion,but finishing a marathon period,be it via a walk,run,walk/run ,wheelchair,or crawling for that matter takes guts,courage,determination or whatever adjective you want to give it.Again,it is not for another to judge what that finish line represents to that individual.The vast majority of us will not qualify for Boston,let alone a spot on an Olympic team trial,so therefore we run,walk or whatever for our own reasons.When we finish it is for our own personal satifaction.
And if walk/run is good enough for Jeff Galloway,it sure as heck is good enough for me!
NHSENIOR; why are you limiting yourself and the other whacko race directors that share your warped sense of reasoning (I use the term reasoning very loosely) to only going after iPod rule breakers? After all, for the good of the sport shouldn't you be concerned with any and all infractions of the USATF Rules. Now I must admit, I never read the USATF Rules prior to the rule at hand (144.3b) until a couple of months ago, but here are a couple of others I have witnessed during my 12 plus years of running; (1) runners wearing their bib on their back (Rule 143.7) and runners receiving refreshments outside of refreshment stations (Rule 241). You could hire some college kids to catch runners on any Rule violation and give them a share of the fines you collect; with the remaining amount going to the race director. This would certainly encourage the race directors for those larger races as you put it to get on the NHSENIOR soapbox and start enforcing the USATF's Rules.
But really, you must be joking (as I am) right??? Fine runners for a Rule violation??? You want to use the USATF's Rules for conducting a road race, but your use your own self-serving method for dealing with rule breakers. How about 30 days in jail or 30 lashes? Runners who do not comply with USATF Rules are subject to disqualification; nothing more.
What do you mean by, "While the ban is about cheating to some degree"??? The prohibition ("ban") by the USATF is under Rule 144, Assistance to Athletes. Runners who use iPods during USATF sanctioned events are cheating. That's a fact, sorry Wonderwoman32. Any runner who knowing (or unknowingly) runs a USATF sanctioned event and uses an iPod is cheating according to USATF Rules.
I love this statement, "it is more about reducing the odds on safety issues." So when the iPod camp requests data to support this claim there is none; at least nothing that has happened during a USATF event; because WE all know if you had any creditable event to point to it would have been posted on every one of these forums about this topic. But maybe you can answer this, if race directors are concerned about the safety of runners why do you allow races to start when the weather has road conditions unsafe, ice and/or snow in New England? Or races on roads that are under repair? How about heavy rain where visibility is extremely bad?
IPods are "hundreds of times more of risk." Please by all means, substantiate this statement? Present your data here. We would all love to hear from a big time race director.
No one on this forum has said that deaf people don't pay attention. This was only raised in the context of hearing (or missing) announcements.
As far as your post regarding lawsuits; I think this has made things worse for race directors. What the USATF is saying is we don't think the waivers are worth a damn so we are going to prohibit these devices for safety. So now they've opened themselves up for legal action for non-related iPod accidents.
Please be sure to provide us your data on the "hundreds of times more risk." Although, I'm betting we won't be seeing anything substantial from you and you'll just go away.
Oh noooooooooooooooooooo the cheating thing I am LMAO.I'm sorry.You either have the athletic ability or you don't.So I guess gus,beans,shotblox and Gatorade are all ways to help us cheat since they enhance performance?Puhleeze......:_|
You really make this tiring. There is not one statistic that you would not disbelieve given the agenda of wanting to use headphones. I wonder what agenda you will "honestly" ascribe to the RD's for wading into this pile of dung. Has that every crossed your one-side mind? Why would we do this?
Anyway, your display of your information processing logic makes giving you anything more complicated a waste of many people's time, mine in particular.
For instance, you ask.
<<" NHSENIOR; why are you limiting yourself and the other whacko race directors that share your warped sense of reasoning (I use the term reasoning very loosely) to only going after iPod rule breakers? After all, for the good of the sport shouldn't you be concerned with any and all infractions of the USATF Rules.
I've never heard of anyone who can be effective trying to solve or even act on ALL things, yet you seriously imply that RDs should do that.
Then you further regale us with your lack of being able to figure out a simple answer to what should be obvious to most people.
You ask.
<<<<<. But maybe you can answer this, if race directors are concerned about the safety of runners why do you allow races to start when the weather has road conditions unsafe, ice and/or snow in New England? Or races on roads that are under repair? How about heavy rain where visibility is extremely bad?
Because I have no access to magic, so short of cancelling the races, there is nothing that can be done about what you ask.
But, cheer up. There will be one less "wacho" RD to give you grief. As of last month, my ten years of managing races was over. (my option completely)
And yes, I'm dodging your request of proof, and you can trot that out as proof that the wacko RDs are FOS. Though one could ask why are are RDs doing this? and I would hope that any reasonable folks who might side with you would question your conclusion for the "why?"
I said the following in a previous message.
<<< Because I have no access to magic, so short of canceling the races, there is nothing that can be done about what you ask.
I suppose that just to save time for others and to remove a possible incorrect point you (NERunner) might try to make, I'll ask you to explain to those who don't know why very very few races are ever canceled. AND I would not want you to let others (who don't know why) think that it is possible to cancel races with the idea of rescheduling or that the refund of entry fees or deferring entry (without a new entry fee) is not even close to possible.
Im going to guess the same people that don't want you to wear an iPod running also support the "nanny state" and the government running the rest of our lives. No one can be personally responsible and decide for themselves someone "The Nanny" has to do it for them because people are just too dumb to know whats best for them. I've never worn my iPod in a race and I rarely wear it when I train but we're all adults and if somone wants to wear it they should be allowed and the rest well....should mind their business.

Liverpool Message Board
Is our manager fit for purpose?
Yes, it's Chelsea but I need your opinions.
79 minutes gone, Brentford 2 Chelsea 1. Substitution, Benitez takes off defender Ivanovich and with Ba sitting on the bench, sends on defender Azpilicueta. Ba comes on several minutes later and almost immediately sets up Torres for the equaliser. 2-2.
92 minutes gone, Reading 1, Chelsea 2, Reading have their tails up having just scored. Benitez takes off Torres and, with JT sitting on the bench, puts on Ba. Reading equalise, 2-2.
Is it just me or is there something obviously daft about these substitutions?
RobertSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Jason..thee and me have our little differences of opinion ..lol..from time to time BUT u are a loyal fan of our club and I support u in u sentiments where this Robert M is concerned ..he never has anything positive to say about our club or its players or management...he simply seems to want to ram his opinions about Chelski down our collective throat.....MY ADVICE TO HIM WOULD BE... GO TELL IT TO SOMEBODY WHO GIVES A SH@T YOU POMPOUS PR+CK !...I strongly suspect he landed on our board after everybody on the Chelski board had pressed the ignore button on him for being a WORLD CLASS BORE.
Yes, Jason, I think your sarcastic tone earlier in the thread was indeed inappropriate, when you were talking down at me from a position of being wrong. But instead of apologising for it, you raise the stakes with more small boy big talk bluster. You call me arrogant - don't you think that word applies rather more to you in this?
As for being invited to leave the board - that's generally a message from someone who has thoroughly lost the argument. This is no exception. And, of course, another form of arrogance.
OR, perhaps you could go to the Chelsea boards, or any of the18 other clubs?
While you may find some of my sarcasm as "inappropriate" and say some others do, that's your opinion, and an opinion doesn't make something "wrong" or "unsuitable", hence making that a poor choice of word by definition, but he who knows all, knows best.
Conversely, I can say without an opinion, I'm not the only one who doesn't like you here. I wasn't the first one, and certainly won't be the last one to use "pompous" and "arrogant" in the same thread as Sir Robert M.
Have a nice day your highness, I'm off to watch our club play City.

In some ways yes he's helped.. h's also caused upheaval each time he sacks managers..
Yes, the picture/program was either wrong, or misleading as I said at the start, and your extrapolation was wrong and the whole tone of your previous post rather unfortunate in the context. But no apology.
Perhaps you should calm down a bit with the sarcasm on this board. I don't think I'm the only one who finds it inappropriate and think it diminishes the quality of your messages.
Operative words are, "I have a picture"... I took it from the television of a table they put up about 2 weeks ago..
So, obviously you can see 2 things.. I don't care that much about Chelsea's statistics, and the program was obviously wrong.
I noted the "picture" twice.. Wouldn't be the first time someone would have been wrong here, and won't be the last, but it wasn't intentional on my behalf or making something up. I just found it interesting, and indicting about him, and if he's not managed that many league games then I suppose it would include cups for all intensive purposes like you said.
As for me trying to out literal you, impossible, it can't be done.
Either way, Rafa sucks... IMO
Well, if you say so. But in the thirty five years I supported Chelsea before Abramovich came along we won three FA Cups, two cup winners cups and a League Cup. In the nine years of Abramovich we've won four FA Cups, three leagues, two ileague cups and one CL. That's more trophies than United in the same period. He looks more like our saviour than our problem to me.
LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Feb 3, 2013 11:24 Flag
Your problem is Abramovich.. If he stuck with a manager like Man U do with red nose.. they'd have long term success..
As the team would have direction and purpose. When managers are constantly sacked then the purpose and direction is lost.
Yes, it's about even in league matches, before yesterday's game which we lost. So now it's 22 points from 13. But under Benitez we have also failed to win the World Club Championship, been knocked out of the league cup and nearly got dumped out of the FA Cup by Brentford.
On this board there has been huge detailed discussion about whether your last three or four managers individually took you forward or backwards, partly in order to justify or criticise the decisions of your owners. RDM no doubt got sacked for failing to get us through the CL group and that doesn't really compare to anything Benitez has done yet. But in other comparisons Benitez looks like a negative step on from RDM, not a positive one. So far.
Jason, you should check your data more thoroughly before you either try to out-literal me or beat me into submission with sarcasm. The whole of the substantial part of that post is rendered nonsense by the fact that Benitez has not been in charge of Chelsea for sixteen league games. After yesterday he has been in charge for 13 league games, accumulating 22 points.
Perhaps you should find out what your table includes, clarify it, and apologise for the gratuitous commentary.
Am I happy with Benitez? I said at the start of his short unhappy reign that I didn't like him and the sooner he went the better for me. In the meantime I would like Chelsea to win every match. But whether we win or lose every match isn't going to change whether I like him or not or want him to stay.
From an objective point of view, the results under Benitez have not apparently improved over his two predecessors. If anything, they have been getting worse. However, my impression is that the Chelsea team is absolutely knackered, having played two games a week with very little rotation since August. This goes some way to explaining why we have been shipping lots of goals late on in matches.

Apple Valley Road to close for bridge work
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 5:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 5:36 p.m.
RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Transportation will close Apple Valley Road northeast of Hendersonville at 7 a.m. Wednesday to replace the bridge over Clear Creek.
The road will be closed until Sept. 15, N.C. DOT officials said in a news release Tuesday.
The bridge, built in 1961, is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, according to the release. While the bridge is still safe, it requires extensive maintenance and repair. Lane and shoulder widths also don't meet current standards.
The $464,756.22 project contract was awarded to Apple Tuck and Associates Inc. of Rutherfordton.
During the closure, motorists should detour to Bearwallow Road to Mills Gap Road to Garren Road, then back to Apple Valley Road.

Digital portfolios are something that are really starting to take off in schools. There are different software programs that will make "portfolios" easy to share, yet do we truly embrace the power that a digital portfolio can bring into our schools? Since it is "digital", we need to go beyond a portfolio that only represents one year of learning, but can show the progression over time.

Children's Health
More Salt in Kids' Diets May Mean More Obesity
Dec. 10, 2012 -- Limiting children's salt intake could be one way to reduce childhood obesity, new research suggests.
The study of more than 4,200 Australian children 2 to 16 years old found that those who ate more salt also drank more fluids, particularly sugar-sweetened beverages -- namely soda, fruit drinks, flavored mineral waters, and sports and energy drinks.
Previous research has implicated sugar-sweetened beverages in the rise in childhood obesity, which has more than tripled in the past 30 years in the United States, according to the CDC.
Boys 12 to 19 drink an average of 22 ounces of sugar-sweetened soda a day -- nearly two cans -- compared to only about 10 ounces of milk, the CDC says. Girls drink a little less of both: about 14 ounces of sugar-sweetened soda and 6 ounces of milk each day.
In the new study, children who drank at least one serving of a sugar-sweetened drink a day were 26% more likely to be overweight and obese.
On average, children who reported drinking sugar-sweetened beverages ate 6.5 grams of salt per day, compared to 5.8 grams of salt per day for the children who did not drink them. "This is a significant difference," says researcher Carley Grimes, a PhD candidate at Deakin University.
FIT Kids: How Much Sugar Is In Your Drink? Be a Sugar Detective
What About That Salt Shaker?
The scientists did not count salt added at the table or used in cooking when calculating how much the children ate. "It is likely that the amount of salt reported in this paper is an underestimation of the true intake of salt," Grimes says.
"It is difficult to speculate" how the additional salt would have influenced the link with sugar-sweetened beverages, she says.
Whether eating salty foods causes children to drink more sugary beverages can't be determined from her study, Grimes says. "It is possible that the association may in part be due to a clustering of unhealthy dietary behaviors." People who prefer salty snacks over more nutritious options might also be more likely to prefer soda to water. After all, people commonly order fries with their Coke, and vice versa.

Thanks in large part to strong play on defense, the third-seeded Salesian High football team survived a gritty, physical contest against Kennedy-Richmond on Saturday and earned a 16-8 victory in the first round of the North Coast Section Division IV playoffs.
"We came into today expecting a physical game," Salesian coach Chad Nightingale said. "They're very big and very athletic, and we give them their due credit."
The game played as a stark contrast to their Sept. 14 matchup when Salesian (9-2) won 42-0. The biggest difference, according to Nightingale, was Kennedy's ability to neutralize the run game.
Visiting Kennedy's speed and athleticism, led by linebacker Takkarist McKinley, helped bottle up Salesian's outside run.
The 14th-seeded Eagles (5-6) even took an 8-7 halftime lead, but a flat start to the second half proved to be their undoing.
Kennedy allowed a safety on its first possession of the second half, and Salesian's defense prevented the Eagles from gaining any type of rhythm offensively from that point forward.
"I think it was uncharted territory for us," Eagles coach Mack Carminer said of his team's halftime lead. "That lull to start the half really hurt us."
Pride quarterback Zack Boyett had 78 yards passing and two touchdowns, including a big fourth-quarter throw on third-and-goal from the 15 to wide receiver Aaron Hayes, which gave Salesian a 16-8 lead.
"A lot of credit has to go to our defense, who aside from giving up one score, played great all game long," Nightingale said. "Offensively, we need to get better by next week."

Senate rejects changes on lending businesses
Published: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 10:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 10:14 p.m.
The state Senate failed Tuesday to pass a bill that would have limited the number of payday loans a person can take out in a year, but the debate over the veracity and fairness of the readily available short-term money will likely continue into next year.
A coalition that includes the Louisiana Association of Bishops, the American Association of Retired Persons and two consumer advocacy groups have backed limits that would restrict the amount payday lenders can charge and the number of loans that can be made in a calendar year.
"There is no one in this room who can possible say there isn't predatory lending taking place in our state," Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, said in defense of his bill to cap loans at 10 per year. "I have been unable to satisfy either side, and certainly this is an attempt once again, to at least begin regulation of an industry that is out of control."
Senators voted 20-17 for the proposal. But because the bill contained a new fee, the measure needed 26 votes, two-thirds support in the 39-member Senate.
A last minute amendment proposed by Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, would have scrapped a state-run lending database and reduced the voting requirement to 50 percent. That bill was tied at 18-18 and failed to pass.
Initially Nevers had proposed legislation that would have limited the annual percentage interest rates that payday lenders charge to 36 percent. An exemption to state limits on interest was passed in the 1990s to allow for the proliferation of payday lending outlets.
Supporters of the bill said the 10-loan cap was a compromise and were encouraged by the majority support.
"The 10-loan cap is a compromised solution that would have helped reduce that debt trap. We are disappointed, but we are also thankful that the majority of our senators went on record favoring the 36 percent cap," said David Gray of the Louisiana Budget Project, which advocates for middle- and low-income consumers. "We are satisfied this issue isn't going away."
Among those who undoubtedly cheered the failure of the bill was Arthur Espenan, director of Morgan City-based payday lender Check Cashers, which operates eight locations in the tri-parish area.
Espenan argues that his business provides a service to customers that is a cheaper alternative than the financial penalties or hardships they might otherwise face.
"We are the bank for the people who don't have a bank or choose not to deal with a bank," Espenan said. "When we first started we had a guy who said 'Look, I have a flat on my tire. I don't get paid until next Friday. I'm broke. Can I write you a check or can I hold it until next Friday when I get through?' That's basically how payday loans originated for us."
Check Cashers gives customers cash for their checks, then holds the check for a specified period — typically two weeks — until the check can be deposited along with a fee. The fee for a $100 check would be $20, Espenan said, much less than insufficient funds charges that banks impose, ranging from $25-36 locally.
Consumer advocates and religious leaders have taken up arms against Espenan's industry. After seeing dozens of people come to the church trapped in a cycle of trying to pay off the payday loans, Rob Gorman joined a coalition supporting legislation that would limit payday lending.
"What happens is, you need money because you can't pay the rent or the utilities, so you take out a loan and it's due in two weeks. You do it because you have nowhere else to go," Gorman said. "Then two weeks comes around and something else happens and you don't have the money. Then you have to take out another loan with the same lender or another payday loan company."
Proponents on capping payday loans call the phenomenon a debt cycle or debt spiral, whereby the fees incurred at payday loan shops make it increasingly difficult for struggling consumers to pay them off.
Industry advocates and payday lenders like Espenan say the loans are meant to be a short-term solution for people who otherwise might be out of options or could face significantly higher fees at the hands of banks.
"We don't want this to be a way of life, it's a short-term solution. It's not a long-term solution, but it is to bridge the gap," Espenan said. "It's a way to avoid disconnect fees, late fees, over-the-limit fees. It is still cheaper than bouncing a check, by far."
During the Senate debate, Nevers referred to a specific payday loan advertisement that sported interest rates as high as 1,350 percent. Espenan said using annual percentage return interest rates to judge his business is misleading.
Payday lenders do not actually charge interest as a recurring percentage, like a traditional lender such as a bank or mortgage house might. Instead they charge flat fees based on the amount of money taken out.
Over time the fees act like interest, allowing the lenders to profit off of the loans, which can be a risky business given that many of their customers may leave town or file for bankruptcy. Federal law requires payday lenders to advertise their fees in terms of the equivalent annual rate, or the amount the loan would cost if they paid that fee throughout the year.
"Comparing different forms of credit on the annual percentage rate is the only way you can compare two different kinds of credit," Gray said. "If I am driving from the airport to Shreveport or the airport to the Capitol and I get stopped, the officer doesn't care how far I'm driving, he cites me for speeding."
The 36 percent cap would reduce the fee being charged on a payday loan to 10 cents per day. Espenan and other lenders have said that would put them out of business.
"If we're considered predatory, I can't come up with a good word for what a bank would be considered charging NSF fees for a check they don't pay," Espenan said. "It's a bit of an insult to us because we are risking money in a loan to them. Whereas the bank has no exposure, they just charge them up to $36 a check and send it back and there's no risk."
Espenan said that reform should be directed at creating payment plans and consumer education to help consumers pay off debt, not on punishing lending businesses.

CANTON, Ill. – June 19, 2013 – William "Bill" Peak, 69, a lifelong Canton resident and avid sportsman, passed away on Aug. 8, 2012, leaving his firearms, decoys, boats and hunting equipment to Ducks Unlimited. The collection sold for nearly $60,000 at a local public auction.
"Everyone knew that Bill had some nice guns," said Emil Boucek, chairman of the Fulton County Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and one of Peak's hunting companions. "Even so, I was surprised by how large this gift turned out to be. I think letting friends and neighbors have a chance to purchase items was a nice consideration and really helped make sure Bill's things brought top dollar."
The net proceeds of the auction will support DU's wetlands conservation efforts across the country and have posthumously qualified Peak as a Heritage Sponsor.
"We are pleased to honor Mr. Peak and his passion for waterfowl this way," said Jonathan Rich, DU managing director of gift planning. "Ducks Unlimited is very fortunate to have members and supporters like Bill who share our commitment to conservation."
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Prior to 1972, thousands of workers were involved in the mining, milling and transport of uranium used to produce atomic weapons for the United States. Much of this work occurred in western states such as Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and South Dakota. The United States also conducted atmospheric atomic weapons testing in Nevada during the build up to the Cold War. This testing exposed people who lived and worked nearby to radioactive fallout. Workers and residents may have been exposed to radiation externally by touching fallout on the ground or internally by breathing contaminated air, eating contaminated foods and drinking contaminated water.
The RESEP clinics were created by the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) Amendments of 2000 to help individuals by providing screening for diseases related to radiation exposure, referrals for patients needing further diagnostic or treatment procedures, and help with documenting claims under RECA.
You are eligible for a free screening through the RESEP Clinic if you live in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota or southeast Utah, and meet the criteria for any of the following categories:
To find out if you are eligible for a free screening, please call us at 1.877.255.5864.
The RESEP Clinic has appointments year round at National Jewish Health in Denver. We also hold annual outreach clinics in partnership with local hospitals in Craig, Montrose and Pueblo, Colorado as well as Page, Arizona and Casper, Wyoming. For more information about our clinics, see the Miners Clinic page or call us at 1.877.255.5864.
Uranium miners are at risk for developing:
Uranium mill workers and ore transporters are at risk for developing:
Persons exposed to radiation at a nuclear test site (known as "on-site workers") or in the radioactive fallout from the tests (known as "downwinders") are at risk for developing:
The RESEP Clinic offers in-depth confidential screening for illnesses that may be related to radiation exposure. Early diagnosis and medical care can often make a difference in quality of life and long-term survival.
FREE screening services include:
Other tests that may be done depending on your exposure category include:
A working level month (WLM) is a measurement of exposure to radioactive radon gas decay products or "radon daughters." Radon gas occurs naturally in the radioactive decay of uranium. Working level months calculations take into account the amount of radioactive radon daughters present in the air (working level) and the amount of time a worker is exposed to them.
For example, a miner working full-time for 1 month (170 hours per month) and exposed to 1 working level of radioactive radon gas would accumulate 1 WL of exposure. A miner working 170 hours/month for 4 months in a mine with 10 working levels of radioactive radon gas would accumulate 40 WLM's of exposure.
In 1990, Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). This act aids thousands of individuals adversely affected by the mining, transport, and processing of uranium ore and testing of nuclear weapons for the Nation's Cold War arsenal. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice and provides compensation to eligible uranium workers, on-site participants and downwinders, or their eligible survivors, who developed certain cancers and other serious diseases as a result of radiation exposure.
To find out if you are eligible for a free screening, please call us at 1.877.255.5864.
Claims forms are available directly from the Department of Justice by mail or can be downloaded from their website. The Miners Clinic benefit counselors also have claim forms available. The completed claim form and supporting records are mailed to the Department of Justice.
Examples of the records that you will need include:
In the event that the exposed worker or downwinder is deceased, certain eligible survivors may file a claim for the compensation on their behalf. Our Miners Clinic benefits counselors are happy to answer your questions about the health screening, eligibility for compensation and filing a claim.

The start time of regular Palo Alto City Council meetings could be moved up one hour if a new ordinance is approved Monday.
Regular meetings would begin at 6 p.m. under the proposed change to the municipal code.
Under the municipal code, regular meetings are supposed to begin at 7 p.m. on the first three Mondays of the month. However, the council frequently holds closed sessions and study sessions an hour earlier. It is able to do so by designating and noticing the meetings as "special."
The council's Policy and Services Committee backed the ordinance 3-1 at its April 22 meeting.
"I think it sort of does the public a disservice to tell them it starts at 7 when the meetings don't start at 7, they start at 6," Councilman Greg Scharff said at the meeting. "We've gotten this fiction in our heads. We start the meeting at 7, but we do study sessions beforehand."
Scharff noted that 63 percent of regular council meetings begin in one way or another before 7 p.m.
"I think that is transparent and open," he said about the ordinance, "and that's what we strive for in Palo Alto."
Councilman Greg Schmid, who cast the dissenting vote, said the "public portion" of meetings usually starts at 7 p.m. Study sessions and closed sessions are of interest to a limited number of people, he added.
"It seems to me 7 is closer to accurate than announcing our meetings start at 6 and there's no public business until 7," Schmid said.
Council members Larry Klein and Gail Price sided with Scharff.
"I do regard study sessions as public business," Klein said. "Study sessions frequently are some of the more fruitful things that we've had when we educate ourselves, educate the public, even though no action is being taken."
Klein said the earlier start time was also warranted because the council has become busier but less efficient.
"I think we have to face reality and call the meetings as such at 6, especially when it's no longer special," he said.

New classroom poster: No Floyd Zone. You REEEEEEAD Better!

As an adult literacy tutor, I can tell you adult literacy is real problem and sad. Nothing to make fun of. These folks experience enough shame from themselves. They don't need it from others.
Maybe you need to be helped.
YOU probably got more Degrees than Floyd, and cannot do HALF the things he does.
ALSO he is not illiterate, he can read.
You definitely could use help in the reading comprehension department. Where did I mention complete illiteracy? Where did I even mention Floyd's name? Based on the recording his reading ability is on par with a fifth grader. And that does qualify as an literacy issue.
Yeah, but she can learn to do new things….
Floyd may have a learning disability. But, then again, he was raised by Mayweather Sr., so there is that.
I ordinarily wouldn't even laugh at these, but Floyd's behavior and utter lack of humility makes him a special case.
Except other adults with reading problems see people making fun of Mayweather about his reading issues and it just reinforces their shame and unwillingness to do anything about it.
Damn, you do have a point there.
THANK YOU! I was talking about this on Bawsip and no one seemed to understand the shame and humiliation that people in his shoes feel. I've worked with a kid in the Big Brother, Big Sister Program who had a problem with reading, writing and comprehension. When I met his mother she told me that she had problems in the same areas and felt ashamed because she couldn't help her son and felt that she was contributing to his failure. It took a lot of courage for her to admit it and she did so through tears in her eyes and was worried that I would judge her.
ive read a lot of your comments over there and i can tell you that a lot of them are uncompassionate because of his attitude however a sensible person like yourself who obviously cares of others (working with BB/BS and all) can understand and empathize and for that you get my vote! its a tit for tat thing with folks "he's an azzole so serves him right he can barely read" type of mentality. selfishness before selflessness.
As much as I do not care for Floyd due to the way he boasts about money and how he deals with women, I have compassion and sympathy for him and his situation. I could never think a grown man not being able to read is funny. It's sad. He was failed somewhere along the way. I hope and pray others who are illiterate will not feel ashamed and take advantage of literacy programs out there. When they learn how to read, that will be an accomplishment they can be, and should be, very proud of. I hope he decides to get help after this embarrassment.
He may have been failed in elementary school. But along the way of making $100 million dollars, He could've hired a private tutor if he had the inclination to learn. Clearly, he doesn't see it as a priority.
"Money Mayweather" can afford a tutor and there are also public libraries that offer free adult reading programs; however, HE has to want to better himself. No excuses for this man! Let his slores teach him!
But the thing is, Floyd has no shame. He's an arrogant braggart & when people find a flaw in a person like this, its easy to have no sympathy.
Karma is a b8tch! Leave these married women alone and stop talkin so much trash
Floyd and 50 might as well jus fvck and be done
funniest one was the "wingardium leviosa" lol
kmsl …had to google "wingardium leviosa" though.
He probably can't count, either…instead of going back to school or hiring a private tutor to get educated, he'd rather spend his money on gold digging slores! I bet they can read and count, and will have more money than him in the next few years when he is bankrupt and in foreclosure!
Henry Ford couldn't read..
No One should have pity for him because he is in a position to have round the clock tutelage

Washington Times: Mayor Bloomberg gun-control sizzle begins to fizzle
Only this week, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau of Nashua, N.H., bolted from the Bloomberg-backed Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group that claims to have 950 mayors as members. Ms. Lozeau was angered by the Bloomberg advertising hit on Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, a fellow Republican.

VAIL, Colorado - Ron Riley started a quest in January that may benefit all of Vail.Riley for years has had cellphone service through AT&T. Over the holidays, Riley missed a number of calls or simply couldn't get service. He wasn't alone, of course - peak times in Vail often overwhelm AT&T's equipment in Vail.Town officials, and the company, are aware of the problems. Ron Braden, the information technology director for the town of Vail, has been working for some time with AT&T officials to beef up the company's equipment. But progress has been slow.So, after a handful of lengthy phone calls in early January, Riley, owner of Los Amigos and Russell's Steakhouse in Vail, took matters into his own hands. He placed two full-page and one half-page ads in the Vail Daily.The ads weren't rantings. Riley said he worked diligently to outline the problems as dispassionately as possible. After outlining the problem as he saw it, the ads asked other AT&T customers in Vail to respond via email.More than 200 people did just that, and were automatically sent a survey that asked about their satisfaction with the company's service in Vail. Out of that number, 187 questionnaires were returned.The results weren't good, especially regarding peak tourist times. People who responded to the survey overwhelmingly agreed that service has been affected during peak times. Many said they were considering switching phone companies. And 90 percent said the problem could harm the valley's economy.Of the 187 returned surveys, 145 took the opportunity to provide specific comments why they believed the peak-period service problems might harm Vail's economy."I have had an issue with voicemails not coming through until one or two days after the message is left," one person wrote."My business and service level suffers when I can't get a voicemail till several hours later or even days later," wrote another."Given the size of the transactions upon which we work, these issues have the potential to cost me tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars for a missed call or message," another message read in part.Riley said he's heard more comments like those from friends and others. All are worried that Vail's visitors might be inconvenienced to the point they stop coming."We're a resort," Riley said. "Our customers are some pretty important people.""People who come here expect service," Braden said. "That's why the (town) council focuses on it."Braden said some answers are coming. A new tower has been built near Lionshead, and another has been built at the town's bus barn east of the main Vail interchange. Again, though, progress is slow. Several companies, from AT&T to Holy Cross Energy, have to coordinate efforts to get the towers functional.Some temporary help came this season, when AT&T put a "COW" - a "cell tower on wheels" - near Lionshead.Braden said he's confident that AT&T will eventually have enough technology in Vail to handle peak-period traffic.And while Braden's specialty is working through official channels, he said Riley's efforts have been helpful."What he's doing is good," Braden said. "He's really getting their attention."Business Editor Scott N. Miller can be reached at 970-748-2930 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

if you remove session_register() calls and replace with $_SESSION assignments, make sure that it wasn't being used in place of session_start(). If it was, you'll need to add a call to session_start() too, before you assign to $_SESSION.
session_register — Register one or more global variables with the current session
session_register() accepts a variable number of arguments, any of which can be either a string holding the name of a variable or an array consisting of variable names or other arrays. For each name, session_register() registers the global variable with that name in the current session.
You can also create a session variable by simply setting the appropriate member of the $_SESSION or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS (PHP < 4.1.0) array.
// Use of session_register() is deprecated
$barney = "A big purple dinosaur.";
// Use of $_SESSION is preferred, as of PHP 4.1.0
$_SESSION["zim"] = "An invader from another planet.";
// The old way was to use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["spongebob"] = "He's got square pants.";
If session_start() was not called before this function is called, an implicit call to session_start() with no parameters will be made. $_SESSION does not mimic this behavior and requires session_start() before use.
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.
A string holding the name of a variable or an array consisting of variable names or other arrays.
TRUE on success or
FALSE on failure.
If you want your script to work regardless of register_globals, you need to instead use the $_SESSION array as $_SESSION entries are automatically registered. If your script uses session_register(), it will not work in environments where the PHP directive register_globals is disabled.
Note: register_globals: important note
As of PHP 4.2.0, the default value for the PHP directive register_globals is off. The PHP community discourages developers from relying on this directive, and encourages the use of other means, such as the superglobals.
This registers a global variable. If you want to register a session variable from within a function, you need to make sure to make it global using the global keyword or the $GLOBALS[] array, or use the special session arrays as noted below.
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().
It is currently impossible to register resource variables in a session. For example, you cannot create a connection to a database and store the connection id as a session variable and expect the connection to still be valid the next time the session is restored. PHP functions that return a resource are identified by having a return type of resource in their function definition. A list of functions that return resources are available in the resource types appendix.
If $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS for PHP 4.0.6 or less) is used, assign values to $_SESSION. For example: $_SESSION['var'] = 'ABC';
if you remove session_register() calls and replace with $_SESSION assignments, make sure that it wasn't being used in place of session_start(). If it was, you'll need to add a call to session_start() too, before you assign to $_SESSION.
Below is a fix that may be included in older code to make it work with PHP6.
When needed it recreates the functions
- session_register()
- session_is_registered()
- session_unregister()
The functions inside the function fix_session_register() are only available after fix_session_register() has run.
Therefore in PHP<6 where there already is a session_register() nothing happens.
// Fix for removed Session functions
function fix_session_register(){
function session_register(){
$args = func_get_args();
foreach ($args as $key){
function session_is_registered($key){
return isset($_SESSION[$key]);
function session_unregister($key){
if (!function_exists('session_register')) fix_session_register();
[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: Bugfix provided by "dr3w" on 02-APR-2010: "its [sic] function_exists with an S at the end".]
If you have an old code with a lot of call to the function session_register(), and you would like to make it compatible with PHP5 or PHP6, instead of rewriting all your code by replacing this function by $_SESSION['var']="val"; you could use the function set_session_vars(), that is used exactly the same way than session_register() (but there is no implicit call to session_start() ).
function set_session_vars() {
for($i=0;$i<$nb_args;$i++) {
global $$arg_list[$i];
$_SESSION[$arg_list[$i]] = $$arg_list[$i];
Something that hasn't really been touch on when migrating old code, is that changes to variables made AFTER the session_register() call are still included in the session state.
A lot of the implementations above only add the entry to $_SESSION[] at the point it's called.
If the old code relies on this behaviour, you will either need to have code called on exit to assign back to $_SESSION, or replace it in entirety with $_SESSION usage. With over 1000 uses of the session_ functions, this is a bit daunting!
You *MUST* notice that
$_SESSION[$var] = $$var;
it is
if (!isset($_SESSION[$var]))
$_SESSION[$var] = $$var;
when migrating from old style code.
I've noticed that if you try to assign a value to a session variable with a numeric name, the variable will not exist in future sessions.
For example, if you do something like:
$_SESSION['14'] = "blah";
It'll display:
Array ( [14] => "blah" )
But if on another page (with same session) you try
$_SESSION[14] will no longer exist.
Maybe everyone else already knows this, but I didn't realize it until messing around with a broken script for quite a while.
If you are using sessions and use session_register() to register objects, these objects are serialized automatically at the end of each PHP page, and are unserialized automatically on each of the following pages. This basically means that these objects can show up on any of your pages once they become part of your session.
If you want to store an object into the session, you have to check up that object can be serialized at all.
For example, if your object contains aggregated PDO object (which can't be serialized), you will get an error and no data would be stored.
If you have many websites with these functions in the source code (like me) you can include the following functions in some kind of include.php that you have:
function session_register($session)
function session_unregister($session)
In this way the PHP interpreter detects the functions and do not return the error, and the maintenance work is minimized.
Please note that if you use a "|" sign in a variable name your entire session will be cleared, so the example below will clear out all the contents of your session.
$_SESSION["foo|bar"] = "foo";
It took me quite some time finding out why my session data kept disappearing. According to this bugreport this behaviour is intended.
in addition to function set_session_vars instead of replacing all $var with $_SESSION['var'],
you could get all set session-vars in prevoius scripts with this function
function get_session_vars() {
for($i=0;$i<$nb_args;$i++) {
global $$arg_list[$i] = $_SESSION[$arg_list[$i]];
Make sure you put session_start() at the beggining of your script.
My sessions kept unsetting and I finally figured out why.
On my script, session_start() has to be said and uses cookies to set the session.
But I was outputting html prior to calling session_start(), which prevented it from succeeding becouse it uses the header function to place the cookies.
Once html has been outputed, session_start() can't use the header function to set cookies, hence session_start() fails and no session can be started.
For those of you who use this function (session_register that is), even though the manual does specify that this function implicitly calls session_start(), I just wanted to reiterate that fact. It is also important to know that if you ever switch from session_register to using $_SESSION, make sure to call session_start before adding items to the $_SESSION variable, because unlike session_register, no implicit call to session_start is done.
Another reason I explain this is because I ran into a problem in which you can add items to the $_SESSION variable all you want, but if session_start is not called before adding them, they will not actually be saved to the session. Using the same code, though, and replacing the $_SESSION assignments with session_register without calling session_start WILL save that info to the session.
It would be nice to have PHP check for writes to the $_SESSION variable and complain with a warning if session_start hasn't been called.
