- Is government the antithesis of liberty?
Depends on your definitions. The typical anarcho-capitalist view of government is a body which is authorizes to commit aggression (initiating force against an innocent party). So, in this view, yes. A body could exist that does everything that the government does (police, judges, roads, etc.) without coercion, but then by definition it wouldn't be a government.
- One of the things that enhances freedoms are roads. Infrastructure enhances freedom. A social safety net enhances freedom.
First of all, assuming that roads and infrastructure wouldn't exist or would be inferior to what the government provides is a fallacy. But that's a long argument I won't have here.
Secondly, this is another definition thing. Freedom means the uninhibited ability to exercise your rights. There are different schools of thoughts on rights, but a common one distills them all down to property rights: what you own you are permitted to use in any way except one that infringes on someone else's ability to use his own property as he wishes (This is technically not correct, but the nuances are pretty detailed and again there's not room here to have that discussion).
- What should we do with the losers that are picked by the free market?
This is difficult to answer for several reasons, but I'll try. First of all, you want business ventures that the market doesn't support to fail, because they means that society as a whole is diminished. The average wealth after free exchange is increased overall, as each exchange is mutually beneficial, so people are a lot better off in aggregate. The "poor" would arguably be much better off than many people these days, much like the poorest 5% of Americans are, as a group, on the same economic level as the richest 5% of India's population. So the easy answer is that, by actually having free market, you're helping the "losers" themselves just as much as you're helping the population. Sure, extreme cases might still exist (disabilities, etc), but there will likely be even greater generosity in the face of greater prosperity, much like there's plenty of philanthropy these days.
- Do we live in a society or don't we? Are we a collective? Everybody's success is predicated on the hard work of all of us; nobody gets there on their own. Why should it be that the people who lose are hung out to dry? For a group that doesn't believe in evolution, it's awfully Darwinian.
Posted earlier on this in response to Elizabeth Warren's quote, so go read that for the full answer. Short answer: yes, no one gets where they are alone in a free market. But if I make a million dollars, that means that I have given some group of people something they value more than a million dollars. Then see the previous answer about the "losers." Finally, the comment about Darwinism is a nonsequiter and not even true, so needs no real comment.
- In a representative democracy, we are the government. We have work to do, and we have a business to run, and we have children to raise.. We elect you as our representatives to look after our interests within a democratic system.
In a free market people can still "elect" someone to safeguard their liberties, but it's with money, which does not require taking their liberties in order to provide it. Democracy, as long as it's never involving coercion, is fine. The problem arises when one group can vote to violate the liberty of anybody who doesn't consent.
- Is government inherently evil?
See first response. I don't say that it's evil, but it's wrong on a legal level. Evil is in the moral domain, which is ultimately a religious question.
- Sometimes to protect the greater liberty you have to do things like form an army, or gather a group together to build a wall or levy.
This comes back to definition of liberties. If a fire burns down my house, there has been no loss of liberty, only a loss of property. Unfortunate, but not aggression (unless a person was responsible for it, in which case I could argue that the guilty person has consented to have force used against him to punish/exact retribution/reparation for the loss. There have been arguments on how private national defense would work that I can't get into here, but ultimately each person should bear a greater portion of having to protect himself (which is why the second amendment is so important). However, the government's track record on an army is abysmal: drafts are never justified, ever. Funding an army should ideally be done through voluntary donations. And look at how wasteful our government is at spending money on the army: We don't need this big an army, first of all, and could have a much more effective one for a fraction of the cost if there was real accountability.
- As soon as you've built an army, you've now said government isn't always inherently evil because we need it to help us sometimes, so now.. it's that old joke: Would you sleep with me for a million dollars? How about a dollar? -Who do you think I am?- We already decided who you are, now we're just negotiating.
I don't think there's much to add, save that this is pretty much the issue that divides minarchists from anarcho-capitalists. Some people argue that private armies could provide all the protection we need, and if that's the case it would be better than having a state army because no liberty has to be infringed.
- You say: government which governs least governments best. But that were the Articles of Confederation. We tried that for 8 years, it didn't work, and went to the Constitution.
The only way the Articles "didn't work" was from the perspective of creating a United States of America. There was no "free market" at the time, so it's not a case of free market failing and government being better, it's a case of one inferior government being replaced by another slightly more codified form. No powers came into being with the Constitution, it just regulated a few things under a central body.
- You give money to the IRS because you think they're gonna hire a bunch of people, that if your house catches on fire, will come there with water.
Another pointless comment. If that's the case, then I could choose to pay them for fire protection if I wanted to. If I don't they don't come. Otherwise, I'm not allowed to decide, so I'm sacrificing liberty to (possibly) protect property. Also, it would be a very interesting trial to look at all government spending and determine precisely how much of it is a fee for a service.
- Why is it that libertarians trust a corporation, in certain matters, more than they trust representatives that are accountable to voters? The idea that I would give up my liberty to an insurance company, as opposed to my representative, seems insane.
But a corporation is a representative that you have personally chosen, instead of one with a 50% (or greater) chance to have been chosen for you by someone else. As free market people have repeatedly pointed out, absent fraud or coercion (for which there are many proposed methods for prevention, some with and others without government) you always get what you want when you trade. If you aren't satisfied with what a corporation is providing for what they're asking, you keep your money. Full liberty. Yes, you can't have everything you want, but that's economics: resources are scarce, so you have to choose which ones you value most out of what you can get.
- Why is it that with competition, we have such difficulty with our health care system? ..and there are choices within the educational system.
In both healthcare and education the government has intervened in ways that interfere with competition and prices, which are the communication used by buyers and sellers to coordinate competition. Healthcare has essentially been mandated to be a privatized socialized system (which makes no sense, hence the major issues). There should be no government mandates on what a plan must cover. This has made a system where a third part pays, which breaks all free market coordination almost completely. There are other details at play, but that's it in a nutshell. The case for education is a little different, but rather than giving all the details I'll just give this example:
You're hungry, and want an apple to eat. I've got one I'm willing to sell for 5$, and Mr. Gubs has one he'll sell for $4, but it has a bad spot in it (or a worm, or both). In a free market, you decide if you want the one for $4 with the defects or would rather pay $5 to have the better one. Now when the government is involved, they go ahead and take the $4 from you before you get to decide, then offer you a choice: either you can take their apple without paying any more, or you can go to me and pay me the $5, making my apple cost a total of $9. Some people are still interested, and they go to private school. But many people won't or can't pay $9 for the better apple, so they make do. Competition, but not free competition.
- Would you go back to 1890?
Assuming that the question here is specifically in regards to economics and government intervention: yes, but the answer needs some explanation. Progress has happened since 1890. Some of it had government involvement, some of it was against government involvement. I won't waste time playing the "what would have happened" game here. Most things we credit government for were trends started before any intervention, but the assumption that those trends would have continued may or may not be valid. But I would like to point out that, even if 1890 was better in terms of liberty, that's not the ideal. Abraham Lincoln showed great contempt for liberty throughout his terms, so many of the problems in our government date back before 1890. All in all, I'd much rather start now with a fresh take on liberty rather than just try the "roll back" approach.
- If we didn't have government, we'd all be in hovercrafts, and nobody would have cancer, and broccoli would be ice-cream?
Sort of an extended case of the above: if we can't say what would have happened about past events, then extrapolating from those events we can't determine into their future would be even worse. But, yes, I generally think we'd be better off,but maybe in ways I can't even imagine.
- Unregulated markets have been tried. The 80's and the 90's were the robber baron age. These regulations didn't come out of an interest in restricting liberty. What they did is came out of an interest in helping those that had been victimized by a system that they couldn't fight back against.
A) No they weren't not in the way you think. way too long, but the history you're taught is tweaked to give that impression and even the journalism of the day was heavily slanted. Rockefeller was a greedy, driven businessman. And we owe him for standardizing an industry so that it's possible to get gas for your car from any station, not just the ones owned by its manufacturer. And he saved the whales from extinction. And I'm not kidding about that. Plus, he never had a monopoly, and every person in this country is very much better off thanks to him. And would probably be even better if the government hadn't stolen from him, but see last answer.
B) Most of the "robber barons" had significant government support. And keep in mind that without government hiding things behind the scenes, many of the abuses that happen to consumers today would be far more obvious.
- Why do you think workers that worked in the mines unionized?
Lumping this and the next one together to save time and space.
- Without the government there are no labor unions, because they would be smashed by Pinkerton agencies or people hired, or even sometimes the government.
Unions are, as Napolitano said, perfectly compatible with libertarian policy. People are free to associate and coordinate their action as a group. Essentially, unions are the same as consumer boycott: if people care enough to spend the time and effort getting organized, more power to them. The problem is when the law steps in and tries to make it illegal for one or the other parties to act in certain ways. Specifically, it's illegitimate for the government to punish a business for firing employees who have unionized. If I'm the one paying the people, and I fear that the union is going to raise my prices for labor, it's my right to fire them now and get new employees. This limits employees somewhat, true, but it makes them actually have to negotiate in good faith. Again, free exchange, without coercion, is superior to forced exchange. Also, note that in a free market there would be more competition, so firing your employees en masse would be dangerous: you've just released a large group of people into the market that you paid to train that will be highly desirable to your competitors, who might be more than willing to offer some of the benefits you declined, so that's where the businesses are kept in check.
- Would the free market have desegregated restaurants in the South, or would the free market have done away with miscegenation, if it had been allowed to? Would Martin Luther King have been less effective than the free market? Those laws sprung up out of a majority sense of, in that time, that blacks should not.. The free market there would not have supported integrated lunch counters.
Same as earlier, this speculation is more or less pointless. But in a free market, odds are all these things would have still happened, maybe with far less strife overall. But, key point, in a free market, if I want to open a cafe for white people only, that's perfectly fine, from a legal standpoint. It's probably suicide from a business standpoint, as it gives someone else the opportunity to basically copy my business plan, but simply make it available to other ethnicity, and they'd probably clobber me financially and I'd be driven out of business. Racial injustice didn't end because the government started doing things, the government was simply responding to the change in people that had already begun. That change would almost certainly have happened either way, and would likely have achieved the same end, or better. Also, it should be pointed out that there was tremendous legal policy that promoted racism, so perhaps the greatest victory for the Civil Rights era was getting racist government policies out of the way.
- Government is necessary but must be held accountable for its decisions.
First of all, there are plenty who argue that government is not necessary, and that, in fact, we'd be better off without it. But even assuming your first statement, we find that this is one of the major problems. Right now, government is held accountable by, you guessed it, the government. Theoretically the people keep track of things, but how does that work? Those of us who try to keep the government accountable are laughed at and called "insane." Ultimately people are the failure, which is why Franklin is reported to have told someone that America was to be a "Republic, if you can keep it." We've proved that, as a whole, we can't. So those of us fighting this fight need to double down and keep trying to get people to understand how much better things could be.
Occasional sparks of coherence in a world careening over the precipice of insanity.

Responding to Jon Stewart
So, remember the other day when I posted a link to reddit's section for Austrian economics? Well, there was a gem up today where a posted linked to this episode of The Daily Show, then included a set of 19 statements he wanted to hear responses to. Since I'm always long-winded, I decided to post here, that way everyone get's to know exactly what I think which is a win for us all, right? Be warned, it's really long, but I have done a bit of editing to trim things down a bit, so just remember that it was even longer...

First Year Teacher Self-Study Course
First Year Teacher is a self-paced professional development course for novice K-3 teachers, developed by Reading Rockets. The program provides teachers with an in-depth knowledge of reading so they are prepared to guide their students into becoming skilled and enthusiastic readers.
Sounds of Speech: Intro
To understand a spoken language, a child must be able to hear and distinguish the sounds that make up the language. Virtually every child raised in a normal linguistic environment can distinguish between different speech sounds in his or her native language. Almost all native English speakers can therefore hear the difference between similar English words like grow and glow. When some children produce words that sound similar, they may not be able to articulate distinctly enough for others to hear the distinction. Difficulty with articulation does not imply difficulty with perception.
Hearing the difference between similar sounding words such as grow and glow is easy for most children, but not for all children. Some children are raised in homes where English is not spoken, or where non-standard dialects of English are spoken. Likewise, some children suffer auditory trauma or ear infections that affect their ability to hear speech. Any child who is not consistently exposed to English phonology may have difficulty perceiving the subtle differences between English phonemes. Obviously, children who are not able to hear the difference between similar-sounding words like grow and glow will be confused when these words appear in context, and their comprehension skills will suffer dramatically.
Instruction tip: Young children sometimes have problems articulating certain sounds, but they can usually distinguish between the sounds within a word when somebody else speaks. In other words, they do not have a problem with phonology; they have a problem with articulation. To test whether or not a child has simply made a speech error, try parroting the word back to the child in the form of a question. If the child says, "I want to go pray outside," ask the child, "You want to go pray outside?" The child with normal phonologic skills will repeat herself, emphasizing the indistinct word, in an attempt to make you understand what she is trying to say.
Assessment tip: Play the "same or different" game. Generate pairs of words that are either identical or that differ in a subtle way. Say them out loud and ask the child if they are the same or different. Children should rarely miss the ones that are different. If the child misses more than just a few, please consult with the speech therapist at your school, or advise parents to take the child to a pediatrician or an audiologist.
Excerpted from: The Cognitive Elements of Reading, Southwest Educational Development Laboratory.
The Importance of Visual Input
Dr. Louisa Moats and kindergarten teacher Virginia Campbell demonstrate how modeling sounds can help children distinguish between letters.
Teaching Tip
Examples of similar sounding words that might be used could be slow and snow, or black and back.

Top 5 Nintendo Games of E3 2014
We've been gaming with Nintendo for more than 30 years now, so of course we're going to keep our eyes on what the company's got cooking for this year and beyond. And even though the company might not be quite the leader that it once was, Nintendo still manages to excite and please us with its pure fun game designs and clever innovations. This E3 was no different.
#5 Mario Maker
Creating Mario levels has always been at the back of our minds, and finally, nearly three decades after the release of Super Mario Bros., we're finally going to get an official level designer from Nintendo on WiiU. Think Mario Paint for game designers and you've got a great idea of what to expect for Mario Maker.
#4 Amiibo
Nintendo might be three years late to the NFC figurine party kicked off by Skylanders, but that's okay – with Nintendo's cast of characters like Link, Bowser and Kirby we're still going to buy into the craze. The first game to use the amiibo figures will be Smash Bros, but additional game support is coming. Even if these toys didn't keep track of game progress, we'd get them just cuz they look adorable on a shelf.
If you're wondering what a Nintendo-designed multiplayer shooter would look like, Splatoon is your answer. This is an amazingly creative take on the third-person shooter, with players (as anthropomorphic squids) taking control of arenas by spraying colored ink all over the walls and floors. Turn into an actual squid to dive into the colors for fast travel. There are some great ideas here, can't wait to put it through its paces.
It's a spiritual successor to the awesomely fun and visually impressive Kirby's Epic Yarn on the original Wii system, but now it's Yoshi's turn to get stitched together. The HD capabilities of the Wii U really bring this fabric world to life…it's almost like Yoshi's running amok in a local Michael's.
We are huge Smash Bros. fans here, and though we've been following the Wii U version for more than a year now, watching the near final version for the Wii U and the 3DS is making us want to scratch that Smash Bros. itch, right now. October 2014 can't come fast enough…and that's just for the portable version. We'll be practicing up on the Wii before then, absolutely.
Nintendo revealed a good assortment of great games at this year's E3. This is only a sample of them. Do you agree with our Top 5? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.

Erie woman seeks police attention in January assault on bus
Joni "Mary" Jackson wants her gold hoop earrings back.
She paid $300 for them at JCPenney as a birthday present to herself, said Jackson, 53, crying at the memory.
Jackson would also like her shoulder to feel better and the sores on her knees to heel.
But, most important to her, she would like the girls who, she said, jumped her and beat her up on an Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority bus on Jan. 9 to be caught and charged for their crimes.
"If they get away with this on me, they might come after someone else," she said.
Jackson said she has become frustrated with the lack of action by Erie police in finding her attackers. She said two officers spoke to her at the EMTA garage on East 14th Street shortly after the attack happened, but they never filed a police report or followed up with her.
Jackson said the first city police officer to call her was a lieutenant who contacted her Friday, after she filed a citizens complaint form at the Erie Bureau of Police on Tuesday.
Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said Friday that he reviewed the complaint and forwarded it to Lt. James Daniel, of the bureau's Office of Professional Standards, to investigate.
Jackson has spoken to a lawyer about the incident and said she is hopeful something will be done.
Jackson said the attack happened shortly after 8:15 a.m. on Jan. 9, after she caught a bus at Eighth and State streets. She said the three girls got on the bus after her and "started saying stuff to me," so she told the bus driver to tell the girls to leave her alone.
Jackson said as the bus got to 12th Street, the girls jumped her and beat her, knocking her to her knees. Four or five of her hair braids were yanked out, her shoulder was injured and she received a bump by her right eye, she said.
Jackson said her earrings were ripped from her ears, and one of her gloves and a calendar she was carrying were stolen.
"Somebody should have stopped it. The bus driver should have called the police," she said.
Jackson said she got off the bus at the EMTA facility and asked two men she saw standing there to call the police. She said two officers arrived at about 8:45 a.m., and she spoke to them.
"I said I was assaulted and I wanted them arrested. They didn't take a report," Jackson said.
An EMTA spokeswoman said Friday that the incident was reported to the police, and that the police are handling it.
Jackson said one EMTA official she spoke to on Jan. 9 said he would look at the "tapes" on the bus to see if the attack was captured on video.
The EMTA spokeswoman said police have "everything" available in the incident, but she was not sure if they had been given video from the bus.
Jackson said she contacted Erie police after the incident but was told there wasn't a police report on it. Others who contacted the police on her behalf were told the same thing, she said.
Erie police could not find a report of the incident, based on the location of where Jackson said the officers spoke to her or through a search of their computer system for her name, during a recent inquiry by the Erie Times-News.
Franklin said he believes that there was a record of the "call for service" that would have sent police to the EMTA facility Jan. 9, "but that's all the further it went." He said police will look to see if the complaint was "factual," what was learned and what was done on the call. They will also look to see if enough was done and if more needs to be done and address it, Franklin said.
Daniel had already made phone contact with Jackson on Friday, Franklin added.

I think Berto benefited from a division in chaos. He has the physical attributes to beat most guys, but he lacks tremendously in the skills department. He also seems to have endurance/stamina issues, so even with all his power/speed, he's still beatable if his opponent comes in with a good game-plan. With how fucked up the WW top 10 is right now, he could probably get back in title contention with intelligent match-making.

An uptick in burglaries in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno has residents and patrol officers on alert, with the police department holding a Neighborhood Watch meeting recently at town hall.
There have been other neighborhood meetings as well, including one in Monte Sereno that Police Chief Scott Seaman called "one of the largest I've ever seen."
Seaman said 148 residential and commercial burglaries were reported in 2012, up from 135 in 2011. "That's a 10 percent increase," he noted.
The figures also show 28 burglaries were reported in January, up from 22 in January 2012. "We've definitely seen an increase in burglaries and car thefts," Seaman said.
"There's a clear pattern of people going to residents' doors during the day and knocking," he said. "If they don't get a response, they look for a side gate or some easy way to get in or force their way in."
He added, "They're also looking for empty driveways on nice streets."
Seaman attributed the problem to "people who are intent on stealing for a living, either for drugs or because they have a criminal personality.
"They often work in a crew or with partners," he added. "A guy will walk through a neighborhood, find a house and his partner pulls around in a car and they start loading up. They know which areas are likely to have valuable items, and they take advantage of the natural sense of security people in safer communities feel."
To combat criminals, the chief recommends that residents join Nextdoor.com, the private social networking site for neighbors. Dozens of active Nextdoor groups are already established in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno.
Seaman also reminds residents to never leave valuables visible in a vehicle and to always lock car doors and houses. "If you see suspicious behavior, call us immediately."
Seaman's points are illustrated by a Feb. 8 burglary on Lu Ray Drive. In that case, a thief used a ruse to distract the residents, convincing them to go into their back yard for a fictitious construction problem. While the victims were outside, other suspects burglarized the home.
"People don't need to open their doors. Talk through the door and just say, 'I don't open my door for strangers,' " Seaman said. "By doing that you're telling thieves there is someone at home." It's also a good idea to post a "No Soliciting" sign.
A recent warning from police about door-to-door solicitors was warranted, Seaman said, because he believes many are scam artists. "The great majority are from out of state," he said. Door-to-door solicitors are required to carry town- issued permits.
While alert residents can go a long way toward stopping burglaries, video cameras are also proving beneficial. "We recently had a neighbor-owned camera capture an image of a very distinctive car, so we circulated the car's description to other police agencies," Seaman said. "We'll catch him."
When thieves are caught, they often have stolen valuables in their vehicles that can be returned if police know who to return them to.
"It's always a good idea to have an inventory of your valuables like laptops and jewelry," Seaman said. "Create a spread sheet with serial and model numbers." That way, Seaman said, police can "run the numbers" to see if a seized item is stolen.
There have also been numerous reports of bicycles being stolen from open garages, so Seaman suggests locking bikes onto an immovable object inside the garage.
"Be aware that people coming to your door should be viewed with suspicion," the chief reiterated. "If you think enough about it that you're concerned, please call us."
In an emergency call 911 or dial the main number for the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, which is 408.354.8600. To schedule a Neighborhood Watch meeting, contact Officer Gwen Cross at email@example.com.

If it's new and exciting and you haven't seen it yet, chances are you'll see it launched at ProFusion.
Over the years we've showcased many 'first in Canada' product launches, including the most talked-about cameras, lighting, software, and more. And it's not just about getting a first-hand glimpse of new gear. It's about experiencing it in an intimate, interactive environment, unlike anything you've ever encountered at any other trade show.
Each year, ProFusion is a must-attend event, 'required-viewing' for Canada's imaging professionals. As trade shows go, there's nothing else like it in the country. Whether you're a DOP, photographer, producer, lighting director, audio professional, indie-shooter, freelancer, broadcaster, educator, ProFusion is for you.
Many legendary names have graced the floor of ProFusion over the past 6 years, some of the most notable include: Greg Gorman, Garrett Brown, Jay Maisel, Vincent Laforet, Philip Bloom, Alex Buono, Adam Forgione , Bill Frakes, Seth Resnick, Gary Adcock, to mention just a few.
I've done far too many dealer trade shows over
the past 20+ years, but I've done enough of them
to know what a tremendous effort it requires to
do one properly. You and your team have done
it properly.
It was organized with surgical precision, and we
had plenty of help when we needed it. Thank
you for your efforts and your support. I am
looking forward to the mutual benefit ProFusion
will bring us both.
I can honestly say I think it was probably the best run show that I have ever been involved with.
We also had some fantastic interest in our product and
sold out the show stock several times which was phenomenal
for us.
I have received about 20 letters from students who took
one of my programs and all of them were extremely positive.
The entire experience was exceptional and you can
definitely count me in again for next year.
It's a wildly exciting time to be involved in the world of imaging.
ProFusion is the one and only show in Canada that harnesses that excitement by showcasing the best in photo and video. In a nutshell, it's two short, unforgettable days, where you finally get to see the exciting news you've been reading and hearing about all year. Come experience it!
Six years later, ProFusion is still the only photo and video event in the country that caters to the professional image-maker. It continues to be a show designed to bring together those who live and breathe the industry. The excitement is contagious! Everyone in attendance - from guest speakers and exhibitors to the thousands of attendees - all walk away totally inspired.
The show will showcase everything you've come to expect at ProFusion, and more. Witness the launch of new and exciting products - many in Canada for the first time. Talk to the manufacturers face-to-face. Enjoy product demonstrations on the trade show floor. Cash-in on incredible Show Specials that, alone, make it worth the trip. For business and for reasons of personal interest - this is one event you can't afford to miss.
So you'll be glad to hear we're staging this year's ProFusion at the MTCC, and once again holding it in the larger, more accessible area, with direct access from Front Street. We look forward to seeing you at ProFusion 2016. Think of it as your reward for being an integral part of the strong and growing Canadian imaging industry.

Date : 16/06/2012
Weather : Dry
Temperature : Air: 17 degrees, Ground: 21 degrees
Humidity : 64%
The Repsol Honda Team will start tomorrow's British Grand Prix from the first and second row of the grid, with Casey Stoner in third position and Dani Pedrosa in fifth.
Once again, the cold temperatures, strong winds and temperamental weather have plagued the MotoGP riders here in Silverstone. This morning track temperatures didn't rise above 16 degrees and then during a very busy qualifying session rain arrived in the final 10 minutes preventing the riders from maximising their final set of soft tyres.
Casey, fastest in FP3, and Dani, more confident than yesterday, managed to make another step forward and both improved their lap times by more than a second in qualifying. Casey's lap time places him third with 2'03.423, just 0.1 tenths off pole position, and Dani finished fifth with 2'03.835, half second off the best time.
CASEY STONER – 3rd 2'03.423
"This afternoon was a little disappointing to be honest. We began the session and struggled with the bike, we couldn't really get any edge grip and seemed to make the chatter worse. We were trying to fix some problems we had in the morning but ended up making them worse so we tried various things to improve them. Finally we found something that was working so we decided to scrap the lap and come in and put a new soft rear tyre on but it didn't work for us as we got out there and the rain started to come, just enough to upset the bike a little. I was waiting for the rain to disappear so I could put a lap in, but unfortunately we didn't get an opportunity and missed our chance at pole. For tomorrow I hope the race is one way or another, not a 50/50 race, but we'll deal with whatever we have and I feel confident with both situations".
DANI PEDROSA – 5th 2'03.835
"We've managed to improve our lap times quite a lot and our position on the grid a little, although by the end of the practice some drops of rain prevented us to make any time attack with the last set of tyres he had ready. I'm satisfied because we've improved the setup of the bike this afternoon and I think we can still do another step forward in the warm-up tomorrow. We had a better pace in qualifying, but my feeling didn't change much compared to yesterday. We did many laps with the new front tyre, but only short runs, so the performance in the second half of the race is mystery. I keep thinking that the new front tyre is not safer; we've seen many crashed in the front. We have to have a good start tomorrow, but also be able to keep a good pace during the 20 laps. I don't have a lot of experience in this track; I missed the race last year and in 2010 we chose the wrong tyre and we did a bad race, but we will do the maximum tomorrow to get a good result".

Recently, while watching My Fair Wedding by David Tutera, I saw these amazing dresses that are made to fit everyone by an awesome company called Two Birds! Yes… I said everyone, which means us curvy girls too! How many of you have either been in or seen bridesmaid dresses that gave you the chills, well you can kiss those days goodbye. These dresses are truly a dress you can have forever and wear again and again. I was helping with a wedding this past weekend and the beautiful bridesmaids in the wedding were wearing none other than Two Birds bridesmaid dresses. I love how life works! I recognized them and asked if I could sneak a shot of the lovely ladies in them! Now, I can speak from personal experience, these dresses are not only gorgeous, but they do fit all sizes and they look amazing on. I am happy to report that the ladies wearing them said they were super happy with them and that they were even comfortable! Bonus!!
There are so many ways to wear these dresses. The options seem endless. On the Two Birds website, it says: "One dress, over 15 ways to wrap, wear it again and again". These dresses can be as simple or fabulous as you want. You can accent them with a broach or you can wear them plain. They can be strapless, halter and so much more! The dresses are timeless, flowy, elegant and fantastic! In one word I would describe Two Birds dresses and designs as stunning.
Ariane Goldman created Two Birds and the lovely dresses. She too was frustrated on spending too much money on bridesmaid dresses that she never wore again, so she left the corporate world and decided to start her own business… hence these gorgeous creations came to life. The idea behind Two Birds is, as stated on their website: "Two Birds was founded on the premise that being a bridesmaid doesn't have to mean forgoing style, and that a bridesmaid can not only be happy for the bride on her special day, but happy that she looks so fabulous!!"
There are four different styles to choose from: the Classic, which comes in about 20 different colors and has over 15 ways to wear it. the Rosette comes in six different colors and has the option of four different lengths. the Two-Toned, much like the Classic, has 20 colors to choose from for top and bottom and over 15 styles to wear it. Lastly, the Chiffon has 2 lengths to choose from and six different colors it comes in. These dresses can be maternity friendly and also have the option of a "Bandeau" for more support. A Bandeau is perfect for more coverage or for a woman with a larger bust. Two Birds even offers wraps, jewelry, flower girls dresses, groomsmen ties and more!
They now have two shops, one located in New York and the other in Toronto. I now know you can get them in L.A. for a fact, because I saw them with my own two eyes.
For those of you interested in purchasing for yourself, others or for your wedding or even if you just want to check out this fabulous bridesmaid company, please visit their website at www.twobirdsbridesmaid.com.

Men's And Women's Swimming Look To Continue Success
Oct. 3, 2000
Stony Brook, N.Y. - The 1999-2000 season set more than one new precedent in Stony Brook swimming and diving. For starters, it was the program's first year at the Division I level. Not only did the Seawolves respond to the challenge, they qualified more swimmers for the prestigious ECAC Championships than ever before.
Now a new task emerges -- rebounding from the losses of Laura Bartlett and Mike Chang and breaking in 20 newcomers.
Bartlett broke three school records and repeated as the Metropolitan Conference champion in the 400 IM, while Chang set a record in the 200 medley relay and received the Dick Krempecki Most Outstanding Senior Award at the METS Championships.
Although Bartlett and Chang played a key role in Stony Brook's success last season, the Seawolves return plenty of swimmers and divers who were vital to the Seawolves' success in 1999-2000.
Sarah Doret returns for her sophomore season after a stellar freshman campaign. The team's first qualifier for the ECAC Championships, she helped set school records in the 200 and 800 freestyle relays at METS. At ECACs, Doret recorded the best finish for USB, competing in the 1650 freestyle.
"Sarah loves to be challenged," head coach Dave Alexander said. "She always puts the team first."
Doret wasn't the only freshman who wasted no time proving her mettle. Diver Kristi Schubert turned in outstanding performances on both the one- and three-meter boards throughout the season and qualified for ECACs. Not only that, she was only 15 points short of qualifying for the national competition.
"Kristi has set her sights on qualifying for NCAAs in her sophomore year," Alexander said. "She is totally devoted to her sport."
Senior Patty Prehm and sophomore Sue Slepetz are also key returnees in the butterfly and breaststroke, respectively. They both swam on the 200 and 800 free relay teams that set school records at METS.
After steady improvement last season, senior Theresa Dondiego returns and should provide not only team leadership, but also valuable experience. Sophomore Kris Yturraspe was a major contributor in both sprint free relays and breaststroke events last year and should do more of the same this season. Senior Shaden Zakour will compete in breaststroke events.
Senior diver Nicole Kon also returns with more experience and should improve upon last year's finish.
The women's team welcomes eight new faces this fall and they will be counted upon to learn the roles quickly. Freshman Danielle Delosh will compete in the backstroke, freshmen Starlyn Rupinski, Lucy Sawyer and Laura Thorson will be valuable in freestyle events, and freshman Lyndsy Sudol will be a breaststroker. Transfers Nichole Yezzo and sophomore Kim Rubano should add depth. The Seawolves also add a diver in freshman Amanda Vignone.
"Our women's lineup is not going to be easy to recognize with new names in almost every event," Alexander said. "Diving and distance have gotten stronger, but fly and back are huge question marks. This is still a work in progress and matching our first year at Division I will be a testament to the team's hard work. We will have to win through a total team effort."
On the men's side, junior Igor Voloshin returns as one of the strongest breaststrokers in both individual and relay events. At the METS Championships, he broke the school record in the 200 breaststroke and the 200 medley relay, qualifying him for the ECACs.
"Igor, along with the rest of the returning swimmers, are dedicated and hungry coming off last year's championship meet," Alexander said. "We feel that they will all continue to improve and move up in the rankings."
Junior Tim Larkin should once again play a key role in distance freestyle races. The former team MVP and MET Rookie of the Year, Larkin led the men throughout the regular season last year and figures to earn a berth at this year's ECACs.
"Tim is focused on a strong conference performance with career bests in the 500 and the mile," Alexander said.
One of the Seawolves' strongest events last season was the men's 200 medley relay, and three of the team's members return to continue their dominance. Senior Devin Bougie, senior Carlington Simms and sophomore Yohann Littee are all more experienced and should improve upon last year's performance.
"Devin is a seasoned performer who is a true leader in the big meet setting," Alexander said. "Carlington and Yohann keep getting stronger and faster."
Also returning are junior Richard Joe, who will compete in the freestyle, senior John Mills, a backstroker, sophomore Vasiliy Rodin, who competes in the 200 medley relay and freestyle events, sophomore Ray Stensholt, a freestyler, and sophomore Andrew Yalcin, who holds the distinction of being Stony Brook's first male scholarship diver.
The men's team also has its share of newcomers, with 12 athletes entering their first year of competition. In freestyle events will be sophomore Alexander Guzman, freshman Amar Sider, sophomore Pete Lee, junior Angelo Thomas and sophomore Louis Barbero. Freshman Andrew Bollerman will compete in the breaststroke, freshman Jason Ferrara will be a backstroker, and senior Damien McCreath joins Yalcin on the diving board.
"We are very young," Alexander said. "We have a leadership void with Michael Chang and Ted Watabe graduating last year. Our recruiting class has unlimited potential but limited experience. It's going to take some time to develop them into conference finalists."
The Seawolves enter the 2000-01 season with high hopes and expectations. After a breakthrough season in 1999, last year's key contributors will have to step up their production even more and the newcomers will all play important roles as Stony Brook continues to improve. In just one season, the Seawolves expanded their number of ECAC qualifiers from two to nine. From the look of things, the sky is the limit for Stony Brook swimming and diving.

Recent Hiking Boot Reviews
Merrell Men's Moab Mid Waterproof
Good, light hiker for day hikes or "light" backpacking. But not enough support for my Achilles. I wear 11 1/2 and these were a fairly good fit. I am used to wearing leather hikers with two pairs of socks, but found that two pairs of socks with these was too much. Through trial and error I have found that my padded running socks are just right. Have used these for many day or few hour hikes and they have been comfortable. Would like to try them on a backpacking trip with maybe 25 to 30 pounds max… Full review
Salewa Men's Alp Trainer Mid GTX
Lightweight, adjustable, and comfortable, with good ankle support. The Alp Trainer Mid is a good combination of light weight and ankle support. I particularly like the cuff to toe lacing that allows tweaking to foot shape. Mine tend to be wide, but I like a firm heel cup and roomy toe box, and both are possible with this type of lacing. Vibram sole is good. Midsole is a bit thin. I always replace factory insoles with Superfeet, which help with heel stability and arch support, while providing a… Full review
Timberland Men's Euro Hiker
These boots are excellent for hiking in the mountains or the high desert. They required no break-in period and offered exceptional comfort and functionality. Logged over 100 miles in a few weeks and was very impressed with fit, function, durability, and style. These boots have become my workhorse for both training and hiking. The full-grain leather is both attractive and very comfortable. I have been training in these for our September Mont Blanc eight-day trek. Most of the hundreds of miles of… Full review
Coleman Golden Hiking Boots
Good hikers for the price. Unless you're doing much more serious hiking than me (and I put pretty tough miles on my hiking boots) they are a good pair of boots. Surprisingly good grip even on wet surfaces. Mine fit about half a size too large, so take that into account. I bought these at Big 5 on sale for $29. They aren't top of the line, but $200 hikers don't make the views any prettier or the deer any bigger. With normal Nike socks on they fit about half a size too large, so take into account… Full review
La Sportiva FC 4.0 GTX
By far the best boot I have ever had the pleasure of walking in...and I have put in a lot of mileage. I am a very picky when it comes to my boots. These were an instant fit and felt as if I'd owned forever and finally got broken in. They didn't have a bulky tongue that normally would cut off the circulation of my foot. In the past I'd have to tie my full height boots super tight to gain the support I need on rough rock trails, which made my feet feel bulky and sweaty. These boots give me incredible… Full review
Scarpa Men's Terra GTX
A superbly made, lightweight comfortable walking boot, with good support for most hikes and trails and long-distance paths. With 100% waterproofing and excellent traction these make most routes a joy to walk. Thoroughly recommended indeed. I am now well into my second pair of these boots. The first I purchased about three years ago after a friend recommended Scarpa to me. Straight from the box the boots were extremely comfortable with both a snug fitting and very easy lacing system that leads to… Full review
Salomon Men's X Ultra GTX Mid
The perfect boot, I bought these a few months ago and have not taken them off yet. I figured I would break them in at work for a few days so come time for some camping, hiking they would be ready. Wow, did not have to break them in at all, out of the box great!!! Love these mid high boots, or should I say sneakers, that's how they feel. Full review
Merrell Men's Moab Ventilator Mid
A good boot suitable for spring, summer, and autumn wearing in the hills and coastal paths. Comfortable straight from the box and are light on, although they have a sturdy but flexible sole. I normally wear leather boots, but find because my feet are a little wide I can't get anything comfortable for me. I have tried many boots ranging from the very expensive to really cheap and struggle to find a good fit. The most comfortable ones I have found are fairly cheap Regatta boots.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, February 05, 2008
Augusta, GA---It was a record Super Tuesday for Augusta. 30,000 people were expected....40,000 actually showed up. "I just know that I had to do this. This is something that I had to do," said Rosa Anderson. 45 year old Anderson proudly displayed her I voted sticker. She has called Augusta home for 23 years, but Super Tuesday was her first time out to the polls. "I know that I should have voted a long time ago, but it just didn't interest me but now...since I got my grandkids coming up it's very important that they get what they need."
Annie Sloans...agrees. She made 2 trips to the polls today. The second trip was with her grandson."I say it's time for us to go vote honey. I done did mine already...so here we are...he came in to cast his vote."
This was a make or break election. The Democratic and Republican presidential nominations are both still up for grabs. On the Republican side...local experts are making big claims. "I would declare right now that McCain is going to be the republican presidential candidate for the presidency," said Dr. Ralph Walker at Augusta State University.
But things on the Democratic side are not so clear cut. "No...absolutely not. It's up for grabs." Dr. Ralph Walker is director of the research center at Augusta State University.
After 40 years of tackling politics his prediction for the Democrats is..."I'm predicting that nobody can predict at this point which one of the two are going to be the nominee."
There are those who say no matter who gets the nomination they are encouraged. "I think it's good I really do. It shows that the United States is actually coming together and coming up to date with where they need to be," said voter Mike Wilson.
Local election officials predicted a 35% turnout. 44 percent of voters in Richmond County cast a ballot on Super Tuesday.

The Neighborhood
A little bit about Zizkov area:
Zižkov is one of Prague's most accessible places to live and a very convenient destination for commuters. Žižkov can also be reached on foot from Karlín via the pedestrian tunnel under Vítkov Hill. Commuting to the city centre by tram from there should take around 10 minutes or even less.
Some of nearest attractions :
*TV Tower (10-12 min walk)
*National Monument (10-15min walk)
*Wenceslas square (15-20 min walk)
This area is very popular among expatriates, and that means on this and neighboring streets there are many restaurants with cuisines from around the world, but the street itself is very quiet and is perfect for private relaxation.
We would be really glad to accommodate you in our apartment! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was a wonderfull stay in this great appartment. Very clean!
We only met Alex, not Anastasia. Alex was very nice and helpful - he gave us town maps and at any time we could either call or come by the office. He was VERY patient with all of us (we were a chaotic group of 6 and couldn't follow or schedule that well - we apologize for that again).
The sunflower apartment was in a very good condition - everything was clean and nice. For those who want to book the sunflower apartment in the future, just so you know: the three rooms are next to each other, so the people who sleep in the last room have to go through the other two rooms in order to go to the bathroom. But that was no problem.
There is a vietnamese restaurant right next to the apartment which we recommend. The apartment is very central - you could also walk into the city (approx. 10min)
All in all we were very satisfied with the apartment and there is much more space for more than 6 people.
Thanks again for the hospitality! See you next time!
The apartment is well situated in the city of Prague. With in a 5min walk you'll make it to the famous bridges which crosse the city river. A shop (open 6am-11pm) which offers all the daily needs is just next to the house in which the apartment is. Despite the fact that the flat is very central it is surprisingly quiet during the nights. But if you want clubbing you'll make it to the dance floors within a 5min taxi drive.
The apartment itself is modern furnished with a friendly overall look. Especially the bathrooms look very new. We stayed there for three nights (6 people) which was perfect to get around and see the attractions which the city offer.
There's a possibility to park the car in an underground garage very close to the apartment in the national museum for about 20€/d.
Good apartment, well situated, a nice stay during eastern days.
Great apartment, well enough room for 6 people (3 rooms with a double-bed each), fully equipped kitchen, very clean, no street noise whatsoever, and a very central location.
With the key pick-up, you receive detailed Prague maps, with the nearest supermarkets, tram and metro stations and restaurant and bar tips.
We were all super-happy with the apartment and would definitely book it again.
We wanted to spent a weekend in Prague and found this lovely apartment! It is really beautiful furnished with two nice bedrooms, a kitchen equipped with everything you need as well as a bathroom with a separate toilet. We were welcomed by Alex, he was really helpful, informing us about everything we needed to know. He even gave us a helpful map for the best places to eat and drink!
The apartment is located in the centre, we could walk everywhere and didn't need to spend money on a train ticket.
I can only recommend this apartment to everyone who wants to visit Prague!
The Apartment is very nice, clean and has everything necessary. The owner gave us informations and plans about the city, it's easy to walk from there to the center..We had a great stay.
The apartment was better than we thought. The owner was very nice and everything was perfect! Good situation as well, but the wifi didn't work very good.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The Apartment was really nice to live in. We were 7 young people and had a lot of space and fun. It is very well located since every touristic place is reachable in 15 mins. The only thing you should know is that the biggest cabaret darling is 3mins next to it, but we didnt have any trouble with that. Also Alexander was a friendly host and gave us good tips when we arrived. Thank you!

Gurus. Leaders. Visionaries. Have you mastered the energy? The emotional electricity that surrounds us?
That was the question posed by Burberry boss Angela Ahrendts yesterday in a LinkedIn posting. "Inspired by my philosopher father, spiritual mother and great global leaders, I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts, ideas and inspirations with you," she begins, promisingly.
In an accompanying video she fleshes out her philosophy: "Very few leaders talk about it, and even fewer have mastered it. But when you find it, energy is like discovering your passion. Listening to it. Exploring it. Think of energy almost like emotional electricity."

Infinity Garden keeps growing at Muirlands Middle School
[gallery]The third bench in the Infinity Garden at Muirlands Middle School, a series created by the Muirlands Middle School Mosaic Bench Club, was recently completed.
Titled 'Infinity Garden,' it uses the blues and white for an open sky-infinity look, a color scheme selected by the students. Embedded in the perimeter is the inspirational quote from Henry David Thoreau: "What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what likes within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen."

There were just way better teams back than and the average player was more skilled than the average player today, and i dont mean athletic ability, i mean actual basketball skills. there were a ton of dudes who were automatic with the mid range jumper.
I mean just look at Dream Team 1, and they left a bunch of dudes off.
OVerall the NBA was a better game back than. I could turn on any game and watch it. I can't do that these days.
Actual, this year is the first year i actually watch other games besides Cavs games. I've always watch Cavs games even when they were shitty. I'm a fan of the team.
ANd yes, as far as being a Cavs fan, this is a great time. But the early 90's team was just as exciting.
Look eye, always look eye.

Sighting Details
My son, in from out of town, and I were sightseeing and enjoying driving with the AC off and the windows down. We were cutting across from Lamar just south of Lake Lady Bird Johnson going east on Riverside when my son exclaimed "What is that?" I looked straight ahead and saw a luminescent starlike orb that was obviously too large for a star. It was changing colors from yellow-orange to red. There was a police car ahead at the intersection of Riverside and Lee Barton Drive. I told my son to pull over asap so we turned right and parked on the curb on the west side of Lee Barton Drive. I jumped out and took a still photo. I continued to video what now appeared to be two lights/orbs changing colors and pulsating in unison. I ran out of memory on my phone so I frantically began erasing apps and data to get enough room for more video. In the meantime, my son passed 8 persons on an outdoor patio at a bar restaurant. They yelled to him asking what we were doing. My son called their attention to the objects at which point numerous persons began observing the lights as well. I took three segment of video. We then lost them in the cloud cover and as one dropped below the visible horizon behind some trees. We were very nervous and excited which caused me to make errors when trying to video. Because of the light pollution, I was unable to see the objects on my phone display while videoing which caused the objects to be out of frame from time to time. We then attempted to move to locations more easterly and at higher elevations in an attempt to regain sight of the anomalous lights/objects but were unsuccessful.

By Sgt. Jared N. GehmannFebruary 22, 2013
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - More than 300 soldiers gathered at the Fort Bragg Club to dine, mingle and pray during the 60th annual National Prayer Breakfast Feb. 20.
The purpose of the National Prayer Breakfast is to bring soldiers together and celebrate God's blessings through prayer and cause spiritual awakening throughout various religions and denominations.
"The National Prayer Breakfast is held army-wide throughout the country and among multiple denominations. It's open to everyone, but here at Fort Bragg, we primarily target soldiers. It's an opportunity for us as soldiers to unite, take a knee, and remind ourselves of the power of prayer," said Capt. Todd Morrison, a native of Clarion, S.C., who serves as a chaplain with 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment.
The morning began with breakfast being served to soldiers by the Fort Bragg Club staff. Soldiers of diverse rank and experience, from privates to general officers, were all present in the same room practicing their faith.
"This is one of the rare opportunities in the army where high ranking officers and sergeants major are seen in a different and more relaxed light by lower enlisted soldiers. Everyone is here to exercise their faith and bond," said Nathan Carather, a chaplain assistant assigned to Special Troops Battalion, 82nd Sustainment Brigade and a San Antonio native.
After breakfast, the 82nd Airborne Chorus sang several songs and scripture was read from the Old Testament, New Testament, and Qur'an. Every year the event features speakers who recite scripture and prayers from multiple religions.
"There are times in the army when we have to pray while using a more pluralistic sense of God. What's unique about this event is that there are chaplains representing different traditions, so each chaplain is able to pray in their own tradition," said Morrison.
Following the reading of scripture, chaplains prayed for the welfare of the United States, the safety of deployed soldiers, the healing of wounded Soldiers and for the strengthening and support of military families.
The National Prayer Breakfast's guest speaker was Maj. Gen. Donald L. Rutherford, the 23rd Chief of Chaplains, who spoke on the importance of faith, community and tradition.
After all the prayers and scripture recital, the theme of the National Prayer Breakfast could perhaps be summed up by Morrison who said, "As chaotic and hectic as some of our lives are, and as fast as our op tempo can be, sometimes we need to consciously slow down and turn to a strength beyond ourselves. The prayer breakfast helps us slow down and draw on that strength God can give us."

But the CEO, Santiago Becerra, lived in Del Mar and as the staff grew, LA was out and Del Mar and the Solana Beach were in.

If you are like me, you love to go all out for the holiday season and spoil everyone you love with gifts! Sometimes though, I will admit, I spent much more than I should. I can't help it though! I want to get things for friends and family that I know they will love. However, there could be a plus side – usually, you can reap on the returns!
Cash is always one of the best gifts to give/receive, especially when you are a college student. And I can usually count on getting cash in some form from at least one person, whether it be from my parents, my grandpa, an aunt, or a brother. Of course I don't expect it and I appreciate it anything I get from anyone.
If I do end up getting cash for the holidays, it instantly goes into my savings. I know Christmas cash usually means instant shopping spree for that thing you have really been wanting, but by saving it I see it as going towards the gifts I purchased for everyone else!
I then instantly feel better since I feel as though I spent less initially. Saving money is not easy to do, especially this time of the year. However, if you think of incoming money as paying off money you have spent, you will gladly hold on to it rather than spend it.
How do you deal with overspending on the holidays?

Point of View
Do you think Republican Sam Brownback will be the next governor of Kansas?
I think Brownback is a sure thing, unless something changes drastically.
