What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
On Friday, the Cubs' new owner will be confronted by more microphones, cameras, and sweaty members of the press than I imagine he has ever been confronted by before. I predict he will say something to the effect of, "I can't give you a definite answer at this point, but that is absolutely something we are going to be looking at," more times than we'll be easily able to count. Nevertheless, after the ridiculously protracted sale process and with so many critical issues facing the team—from the immediate future of the leadership team to the long-term viability of Wrigley Field—I will join many of you in hanging on every word Ricketts has to say. (I've also never heard his voice, so I'm curious.)
Apart from all of the obvious questions Ricketts will face, probably multiple times, here are some questions I would ask if I had press credentials or the ingenuity to sneak in.
– In your wildest dreams, did you ever imagine when you began this process that it would take this long to resolve?
– How hard was it to persuade your family to pursue this purchase?
– Did you always consider yourselves favorites to win the team?
– On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being virtually no involvement with day-to-day decisions and 10 being complete immersion in every detail of the team's operation, how would you characterize your ideal level of involvement with the club?
– During the long period when you were clearly the eventual owner but not yet officially so, did you have any contact or decision-making authority with regard to the operation of the team? If not, were Crane Kenney or Jim Hendry at least able to "keep you in the loop"?
– Though the Ricketts family is prominent in Omaha, by the end of this press conference and the subsequent replays of it, you will not be able to go many places in Chicago without being identified. Did you or your family consider that level of visibility when deciding whether to pursue the team? How do you feel about the possibility of hostile encounters with fans if the team is not doing well?
– How often in recent years have you seen the Cubs play at Wrigley? Where did you sit?
– Dating back to when you first became a Cubs fan, who was/is your favorite player?
That's my list. What would you ask a 44-year-old billionaire-turned-baseball team-owner?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
1) How much longer do we have to endure Jim Hendry as GM?
2) Do you read Bill James, Baseball Prospectus or any other statistically-slanted baseball publications?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
CUBNUT: Send these over to Bruce Miles - he will be in the room!
"Your business acumen is renown, as is making a profit. What areas are you targeting to produce more revevue, and do you envision PSL's in the future as a necessary stream"?
"When will renovations start, or at least bathroom renovations?"
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Here's a few baited questions I would ask:
1. Do you plan to keep Jim Hendry on as sort of a "lame duck" GM and if so how much autonomy will he have in making baseball decisions?
2. What is your vision for rebuilding this team?
3. Developing good talent in-house can be a nice cost-savings way of fielding a winning baseball team, what organizational, business office-level vision do you have for developing a talented farm system?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
My list:
1. Are you looking for a 30 year old faux Dr to help you in any official baseball capacity?
2. Do you need said faux Dr. to work as a bodyguard, money holder-onto, or general entourage lackey?
3. If you answered yes to 1 or 2, where do you turn in resumes?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Do you plan to keep the Tribune-era organizational chart wherein baseball operations essentially report to the marketing department? We love Ron Santo, we hate the guest conductors, and even though they both need to go, fans don't feel like they ever will.

My question would be:

Have you considered Arizona Phil for GM?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
For those of you that didn't catch it locally - here is the stream from Hendry's interview with Bruce LEvine and J. Hood from Talkin' Baseball last Saturday.
Proud of the fact we got in the Playoffs two of the last three years. Only disappointment was "we didn't get in".
"Our job is not to make excuses..."
Discloses no Bradley stuff. "He's still a Cub..."
Takes the responsibility, but wants the blame shared around. Was not too specific.
He is not giving any salary back.

Of course, that frustrating to hear, but it's a better approach to negotiation than trashing what you're trying to sell, as the Cubs were doing in September.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
an owner question?
umm...how much payroll you gonna give the GM and do you plan on staying the hell out of the way like a good owner should? =p
...btw, zell looks to be one of our greatest owners even if he "maybe" was spending a little more to cash in a new trophy for his mantle.
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Is there any chance that Milton Bradley will suit up as a Cub in 2010?
How much of Milton Bradley's contract are you willing to eat in order to get rid of him?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
When you go to sleep at night, do you trust Jim Hendry and the baseball people in this organization with your 845+ million investment?
The answer is very important. If yes, fine (that won't last, but fine). If no, proceed to fire Jim and hire somebody you do trust.
Look, if I paid 845 million for a baseball team, you damn well better believe for at least a year or so, it would be my version of MVP Baseball 2003 for playstation. However, a rich owner meddling in the baseball stuff is called the Balitmore Orioles, and look how well they're doing.
Having said all that, maybe a rich fan with the strings in his hands is what we need. I don't know about you guys, but not many people would have paid MB over Ibanez and Abreu last offseason. And Tom Ricketts isn't paying me squat to come up with that logic.......
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
on a legit question, I would probably like to know which franchises and organizations he sees as good models for the Cubs. I imagine the Red Sox would be one...I'd like to hear the Angels as another.
also, do you have a strong marriage?
Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Whoa! The Mighty Cubnut is back in action. Awesome!
We missed you and in case you weren't able to pay attention the 2nd half of the season really sucked rotten eggs.

Re: What I Would Ask Mr. Ricketts
Mr. Ricketts:
1. Do you feel, long-term, Wrigley Field (even with modifications) can produce the revenue streams necessary to effectively compete over the next 20-25 years?
2. Are there circumstances where you would consider participation in the construction of a new stadium not unlike Miller Park either in Chicago or a suburban location?
3. What involvement (1 to 10 with 10 being the highest) will you have in the hiring or retention of the President, General Manager, and Field Manager positions?
4. What are your 3 highest short-term and 3 highest long-term (3-5 years) priorities?

Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.

Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.

German diplomat to highlight World Peace Symposium at USC Upstate
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 1:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 1:15 p.m.
A panel of international students and a German diplomat will highlight this year's World Peace Symposium at USC Upstate.
The sixth annual event at the University of South Carolina Upstate will take place at 1 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Sansbury Campus Life Center. It will be hosted by the university and Rotary International.
Christoph Sander, consul general for the German Consulate General in Atlanta, will be the keynote speaker for the event, which will center on the European Union and its receipt of a 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, according to a written statement.
The prize committee noted that the EU "and its forerunners have for over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe."
Officials said Sander was a natural fit for the event.
"Because the EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, we were looking for a representative from an EU country," said Dirk Schlingmann, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at USC Upstate. "With German Consul General Christoph Sander, we are fortunate to have a keynote speaker of high stature who can speak well to this year's topic, which is conflict resolution with a focus on Europe's financial crisis and its toll on the Euro Zone member countries."
The panel of USC Upstate international students will discuss conflict in their home countries.
After the event, which is related to the United Nation's International Day of Peace, a fifth Peace Pole will be planted in the Upstate Rotary International Peace Park on campus.
"We want to promote peace. We want to bring awareness to the trade of resolving conflicts peacefully. Everybody needs to learn these skills. It is in the best interest of society and human kind," Schlingmann said.
Sanders' diplomatic history also includes stints as deputy head of mission and head of economic section at the German embassies in Venezuela, Pakistan and Hungary and as consul at the German embassy in New Delhi, India, according to the school. He has also worked in the German Foreign Office in Berlin.

I could then clean the adhesive off the backsides and they could reuse these tiles. These tiles were a discontinued style so if were not able to reuse them, we would have to use some tiles that did not match or redo the whole bathtub with a different style tile.
His tile installer, Jeff, came over and removed the two bottom rows of tiles and was able to get them all off without breaking them. Over the next couple of days, I spent about five hours soaking the tiles in an adhesive removal solution and scrubbing them to get the adhesive off. [continued below]....
Jeff came back several days later and started replacing these tiles back onto the wall of the bathtub. As I watched him, I noticed the tiles he was replacing were very uneven and that the lines did not match up as they should have. I questioned him about this as it looked like shoddy workmanship. He made some excuse that this was the way they had to go on.
During his time installing the tiles, he became very frustrated and used profanity quite often. I realized he did not really seem to know what he was doing. He was constantly going outside to use his cell phone and smoke and seemed not to care too much about his work.
When he finished, I was very displeased with the work (see photos) and told him that the tiles did not line up property and were crooked. He said there was nothing he could do about it. He left and I called the owner, Allen Butz, and told him that Jeff did a poor job installing the tiles and that I would like them removed before the adhesive dried and then re-applied by someone else. Allen said he did not have time to come over and remove them and that Jeff was his only installer.
A couple of days later, after the adhesive on the tiles had already dried, I was finally able to get Allen to come out and look at the poor job. Allen admitted that the job was done poorly and that he would be displeased if this work had been done on his bathroom.
He said that since the adhesive had dried, the tiles probably could not be removed again without breaking. I complained to him that I had tried to get him to remove them the day they were installed but he was unwilling to do this.
I was very upset as I had already paid $225 for the work. I called the corporate office and they said I had to deal with Allen as he owned this particular Grout Medic franchise. I finally had another tile company come out and they could not believe the poor job that was done and said that someone definitely did not know what they were doing.
The rep for this other company said in addition to the poor workmanship, the third row from the bottom should have also been replaced, as those tiles were loose also. The rep tapped on the tiles to show me this and sure enough, they were loose. The Grout Medic had only replaced the bottom two rows and had missed the third row.
I got an estimate from this other company to correct the shoddy work that The Grout Medic had done. The estimate was $500 if they were able to remove the two rows of tiles that had been replaced without them breaking. If the tiles broke while they were removing them, they would then have to replace all the tiles in the bathroom with a different tile since the tiles I had were no longer made. If this were the case, the cost would be $840.
I sent a letter to Allen Butz along with the estimate and requested that he refund me the money I had paid them and that I felt I should be compensated for any additional charges I would incur from having to correct The Grout Medics shoddy workmanship. He mailed me a check back for $225 but stated he would not pay for anything else even though had admitted that it was a poor job the installer had done.
I would not recommend anyone use The Grout Medic as their workmanship was terrible and they were very difficult to deal with. The corporate office would not offer any assistance as they said I had to deal with the franchise owner. This company has franchises nationwide.

When I did try attempt to sue The Grout Medic that messed up my bathroom tiles, I found that they only had a P.O. Box, not an actual physical address. As a result, I had no way to serve them with small claims court papers.
Apparently the corportate office will let anyone buy one of their franchises without checking their previous work experience to see if they are able to do quality work. If they had a policy where they did this, all the problems I experienced never would have happened.

Macklin: Sturm is Embarrassed, He Offered a Rematch
By Chris LaBate
Middleweight contender Matthew Macklin is ready for a second opportunity to face WBA champion Felix Sturm. On Saturday in Cologne, Germany, Macklin lost a controversial twelve round split decision to the champion. There were two scores of 116-112 for Sturm, and a score of 115-113 for Macklin. The fan favorite of England and Ireland, said the German television broadcasters had him winning the fight by four points.
Macklin said the champion has already approached him with an offer for a rematch.
"He said he'd give me a rematch. He knows I've beat him. Do you think he'll give me a rematch if he thought he beat me? Not a prayer. He's given me a rematch because he's embarrassed," Macklin told Sky Sports.
he gave you a rematch so you can stop crying in the next fight sturm is gonna smash you into pieces ya cun.tComment by Fish_Scotland on 06-27-2011
This was a close fight in the end. I gave it to Sturm although only by one. Just thought too much of Macklins work was forced and not effective especially the latter rounds....Comment by teddycanyon on 06-26-2011
Sturm was landing the harder, more meaningful shots, but realistically the fight was either 7 rounds to 5 in favor of Macklin or a draw. Sturm was getting terribly outworked in those early rounds. If he just increased his punch…Comment by TaurusJ27 on 06-26-2011

This company will not answert their phone, I enrolled with them for a 3month ad on their website, I was getting absolutely Nothing from the ad so I called them 2 months later and left a voicemail for them to cancel my subscription. This was after I emailed them and the email was returned and called several times.
They charged my account and the rate was 3times the introductory rate, and when I called this time I was able to reach someone. she said that I was supposed to send in a fax to confirm cancellation however there is nothing in their terms or conditions to tell you to do this.
So I sent a fax and asked for a refund, they told me that they would not refund but would keep my account active for another quarter......STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Groton - Two Poquonnock Bridge firetrucks are usually part of the Fourth of July parade but this year the parade passed by one of their stations without them.
That's because the department is unable to spend money on anything but necessities.
Jerry Lokken, manager of recreation services for Groton, said he cannot recall a time when the parade did not include trucks from Groton's largest fire district. Lokken said they're typically toward the front of the parade and at the end, in case they need to respond to an emergency call.
He said it's hard to measure the value of one group's participation in the annual event.
"Were they missed? Probably. I'm sure somebody missed them," Lokken said. He said firefighters from the Long Hill Station still helped, providing ice for the reviewing stand.
Fire Chief Todd Paige said he canceled the department's participation because he doesn't have a budget approved by the fire district board yet.
Paige said he issued an order that nothing be spent on items other than those essential for public safety.
"We're not ordering supplies. We're not repairing anything unless it's a piece of emergency equipment," Paige said.
Voters approved a $3.5 million budget for the fiscal year that began July 1 but that isn't enough to even cover payroll. Taxpayers have also elected three new board members and the new board meets for the first time Thursday to decide what to do about the budget.
"I don't know what to spend money on because we're not going to be able to survive past March," Paige said.
The July 4 parade took its traditional route through the heart of the fire district, starting at Poquonnock Plains Park and traveling down Route 1, past the Fort Hill Station to the Groton Shopping Center.
"Hopefully, they'll join us in the next one," Lokken said of the fire district. "We'll certainly invite them."

Tony Lampert was very slow to return phone calls. After paying $900 for a service I would have expected to be able to get my dog in once a week for three weeks for private lessons, this took longer. Once Tony decided Sadie was ready for group classes, that is when the problems started. Tony did a terrible job of having his website updated for group classes and when I tried to contact him about them he would not return my calls.
The way I finally got him to call me back was to ask for my money back. He offered me about $300. I guess in his mind his 3 hours of service are worth more than Robert Shapiro! I That's right folks, $200 an hour! I would have called it good for $600 and let him still get the best of me. However, Tony Lampert said I had until the end of the day to decide if I was going to take the $300 offer and it would be gone for good.
Tony employs the same sales closing tactic when he offers you 10 percent off if you purchase the services within 24 hours of meeting with him. After reading reviews and submitting my own on yahoo, I realize I am not the only one who has been taken.
Tony Lampert, whenever you are willing to write me a $600 check I will stop telling people my story. Be a real man! Make your children and wife proud of the way you conduct your business! Do the right thing!

I am sorry you feel that way. As explained upfront, the $900 fee was for three private training sessions which you, as acknowledged, did receive. Also as explained upfront, with your private training sessions you would be able to attended our group training sessions at no additional charge. This offer is still available to you and we would be happy to have you attended. We have group classes at our facility 4 times weekly.
At the time our group training classes were scheduled online and may have been incorrect. If that was the case, we are apologize for the website error. If you had trouble getting a hold of me directly, our training center staff is always available during regular business hours and would be happy to provide you with the group training session times.
We offered $300 in attempt to resolve the scheduling issues.

When I contacted the number for free coaching, I got an email that I should supply 5 different businesses with names, telephone, physical address and type of business. I smelled immediately that they were interested in getting some real live leads for their Credit Card business for free. I refused to supply the request since it had nothing to do about free coaching.
I immediately inform the company about my intent to return the material that I did not order. That prompted somebody from their office to call me and asked rudely what I was doing. When I told David, the person, that I did not like to discuss this personal matter he retorted twice by mockingly and rudely asking if my business was about pornography. It made me livid and mad for such brazen and uncouth manner.
Later my husband called for a physical address to return the material since there was no physical address provided. The man once again resorted to tactics to force my husband to buy the materials by lowering the price from $99+ down to different figures until it was lowered to $9+. An email was sent to us to consider not returning the materials followed by a warning that the material must be posted within 5 days which include Saturday and Sunday even though it was way before the one month period. There ought to be a law against such fraudulent group.

The Isle of Mull has become well known by all who view the BBC programmes Springwatch and Coast. The presenter Gordon Buchanan is from Mull and still has family and a house here. Mull is also now very well known as the home of the CBeebies programme Balamory, based around the coloured houses of Tobermory.
The Isle of Mull has attractions for all the family, and offers a holiday where wildlife is around every corner, visitor attractions cater for all ages, and the whole family has a chance to live a lifestyle far removed from the hectic urban pressurised existence.

Accommodation on the island is generally of a good standard and plentiful, however, during the school holiday periods in July and August it is recommended to book in advance.
Ferries cross to the island at three points: Oban, Lochaline and Kilchoan. Booking is required during busy summer months on the Oban ferry, however, the other two are not possible to book, and places are normally available when required. The Lochaline crossing is a cheaper option and is used regularly by locals. Click here to go to the more detailed travel information page.
From Oban, on the mainland, where many visitors arrive on their way to the Isle of Mull and Iona, the seaward view is dominated by the rocky peaks and green slopes of the Mull mountains.

When Amanda was 23, she went to the hospital with a virus attacking her heart. Her local community hospital transferred her to UPMC Presbyterian, where her doctors gave her a heart assist device to keep her alive while waiting for a heart transplant.
Robert Kornos, MD, director of the UPMC Artificial Heart Program, successfully helped some of his patients strengthen their resting hearts enough to no longer need heart assist devices. Dr. Kornos also helped Amanda's heart regenerate strength.
Soon after, Amanda became pregnant and faced new struggles. Dr. Kornos carefully monitored her, as pregnancy with Amanda's condition was unprecedented. Amanda safely gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Brody.

Doctors may soon get a new way to tell which
medications are safe for women to use during pregnancy and when
they breastfeed.
Currently, prescription drugs carry a code in the fine print of
their labels that ranks their pregnancy safety. Category A means
it's deemed safe; Category X means it's known to harm human
fetuses. Drugs given the remaining B, C or D codes have varying
levels of evidence one way or the other.
The FDA says that's too confusing. It's proposing stripping away
the codes and replacing them with clearly marked sections in the
drug's label describing what research shows about fetal risk.
The agency says there are 6 million pregnancies a year in the
U.S. and that pregnant women take an average of three to five
prescription drugs during their pregnancy.

XI'AN, China, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that China's Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT) has installed a new smarter computing solution based on IBM PureSystems. Building on a strategy of "enriching people with technology" XAUAT will use IBM PureFlex to help improve the quality of education services offered to students and launch the university's Digital Campus platform and student Campus Card.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
Founded in 1895, XAUAT has established a reputation as one of the most influential Chinese universities in the fields of civil engineering and architecture. Currently, the university has about 40,000 students and is ranked as one of the 50 "Model Universities for Facilitating the Employment of Graduates." The high standards of educational and campus life attract students from across West China and around the world. Key educational and administrative functions are conducted in both Chinese and English to reinforce the university's aspiration for 'leap-forward development' and give XAUAT a position among top Chinese and international universities.
"To stay ahead of the ever changing demands of today's students, who require constant access to the university's virtual campus, we decided to launch the Digital Campus platform and provide a Campus Card especially tailored to the needs of our student communities," said Mr. Li Longji, Director of Network Center, XAUAT. "To help us achieve the scale, utilization and reliability required to establish the Digital Campus in line with current and future needs of the university, we realized we needed an integrated, cloud-ready, data-ready and secure IT infrastructure. IBM PureFlex provided that infrastructure."
The smarter computing IT infrastructure helps XAUAT to provide cloud-based applications needed to support Digital Campus services such as: authentication; wireless management; connectivity to both the Internet and to the university's campus network. The campus network will provide students with online access to administration, learning and collaboration processes. In addition, the new system will provide the backbone for the intelligent and secure use of university's Campus Card which is used as an electronic purse by students to pay for expenses on campus, borrow books at the library, enroll for different activities, etc.
"Converged systems, such as IBM PureSystems, can cause application development and IT operations teams to change the way they evaluate and select IT infrastructure and management solutions, raising the bar in terms of how systems and systems vendors will be required to address the needs of the full IT life cycle," said Dominic Tong, VP, IBM Growth China Group. "With this project we make it easier for XAUAT to continually adapt programs and teaching methods preparing today's students for tomorrow's careers by using the most advanced IT technologies."
Working with Business Partner EC Data, IBM provided the university with a solution consisting of IBM PureFlex System, IBM Flex System x220, Flex System Manager, DS5000 Storage, Flex Chassis, IBM Power 740/720 and virtualization tools.
The IBM PureSystems family offers clients an alternative to current enterprise computing models, where multiple and disparate systems require significant resources to set up and maintain. PureFlex System enables organizations to more efficiently create and manage an infrastructure. PureApplication System helps organizations reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying and managing applications. PureData System is tuned for cloud computing and can consolidate more than 100 databases on a single system. In addition to the common web application patterns supported by PureApplication System, the combination of both PureData and PureApplication Systems can be used for end to end transaction workloads.
For IBM Business Partners, PureSystems creates a new opportunity to help clients solve the complexity of enterprise IT, reduce costs and encourage innovation. From resellers to distributors and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), more than 700 Business Partners are supporting IBM PureSystems. PureSystems currently run tens of thousands of existing ISV applications across four operating environments including Windows, Linux, AIX, and IBM i operating system. Additionally, Business Partners have created more than 200 new solutions and applications that are optimized to run on PureSystems. These patterns of expertise, which span 20 industries, can be accessed through the IBM PureSystems Centre. They include leading solutions from some of the world's largest ISVs, including ERP systems and applications for the banking, marketing, healthcare and energy industries
To help address the new opportunity that PureSystems presents, IBM is also providing training, marketing, certifications and technical validation support to business partners. For instance, dozens of IBM Innovation Centers in cities such as Bangalore, Dublin, Johannesburg and Shanghai are helping Business Partners develop and test their applications using IBM PureSystems. Business Partners can also bring their clients to IBM Innovation Centers to see PureSystems technology at work.

Skip to comments.How the Worst President Ever Ended Up on a Controverisal New Coin (James Buchanan)
Posted on 08/21/2010 7:17:45 AM PDT by Colonel Kangaroo
Today, the U.S. Treasury released a $1 coin commemorating former President James Buchanan. And people aren't happy about it.
To understand why, some background is helpful. In 2007, thanks to a bill promoted by then-Senator John Sununu of New Hampshire, the Treasury began minting $1 coins with the likenesses of former Presidents, starting with George Washington.
The coins -- which have been appearing ever since, featuring a new President every three months -- are meant to improve use and circulation of America's dollar coins, which are often seen as an awkward misfit among currency, neither fish nor fowl.
Sununu's initiative drew inspiration from the 50 State Quarters Program, which launched in 1999. The runaway success of that effort, according to his legislation, "shows that a design on a U.S. circulating coin that is regularly changed... radically increases demand for the coin, rapidly pulling it through the economy."
The bill also suggested that a program wherein Presidents are featured on a succession of $1 coins, and First Spouses commemorated on gold $10 coins, could help correct a state of affairs where "many people cannot name all of the Presidents, and fewer can name the spouses, nor can many people accurately place each President in the proper time period of American history."
So the bill passed, and the Washington dollar coin appeared not long after. It was followed by Adams, Jefferson, et al., with the First Spouse coins minted alongside.
Now we're up to Buchanan, the fifteenth President, who took office in 1857 and turned things over to Abraham Lincoln in 1861, and whose coin (produced at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints and purchasable through the U.S. Mint website) has occasioned the aforementioned grousing. Here's where some feel the coin program is falling short:
1. The coins aren't circulating.
Many Americans have never gotten into the habit of using $1 coins, and as a result, over a billion commemorative Presidential coins are sitting around in a stockpile at the Federal Reserve. As BBC News reports, if these coins were stacked up and laid on their side, they'd stretch for 1,367 miles, or the distance from Chicago to New Mexico.
2. They don't seem to be educating people, either.
In February 2008, a year after the first presidential coins were minted, The New York Times reported that a survey had found large numbers of American teens to be woefully ignorant of their country's history. It was far from the first time Americans had gotten a dismal grade in history, suggesting that Sununu's commemorative-coin campaign isn't having much of an effect in that arena, either.
3. James Buchanan was kind of a crappy president.
In fairness, this is a grievance with a specific president, not the presidential coins program as a whole. Still, it seems to come up in all the coverage of the new coin: Buchanan wasn't very good at his job.
That's the consensus of historians, anyway, who have traditionally censured Buchanan for his failure to prevent the Civil War. Last year, a C-SPAN survey of historians granted Buchanan the dubious distinction of worst president ever.
Still, all of this isn't reason enough to declare the commemorative-coins program a total failure. If more coin collectors start avidly pursuing the presidential coins, it could have the effect of pushing down the national debt, thanks to the way the value of the coins fluctuates with their availability. And if the dollar coins were to catch on and replace paper $1 bills entirely, it could save the country between $500 and $700 million each year in printing costs.
Plus, if things stay on track, 2012 will see the release of the Chester A. Arthur dollar coin -- marking the first time that long non-commemorated president's face has ever appeared on any nation's currency. And who are we to deprive him of that?
Mike, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. This Divorce is really quite simple. You get all the Northern blue States, including your home State of Ohio. In addition to this, you'll receive all of the sun seeking transplants back.
Our demands are few. Let the States who wish to join us do so, without armed repercussion. Immediately cease and desist from sending any more paid agitators from your N.Y based organizations.
In a nutshell Mike, let us go in peace.
Free Dixie!
Only if it promises to shorten the conflict and save lives like Sherman's tactics did.
That is quite an accomplishment! Congrats!
What would you know about that?
Rosie O'Donnell's America doesn't extend much beyond wherever her fat ass is planted. I doubt that I'd be welcome there, much less Lost Causers.
What is is that they say about sincerity being the most important quality for succeeding in business? And if you can fake that then you've got it made? Obviously you've just spilled the secret for your success. It doesn't surprise me at all that you're two-faced.
Gives us somewhere to send our rejects. They feel right at home among y'all.
Give your posts I'd say right where you are, posting without coming any where near to the truth.
It's bullshit and I know it.
I treat people with respect, even those that don't really deserve it. For some reason however, I take out my disgust with the state of the republic on the ancestors of the Yankees who so willing helped the goon destroy it and states rights so long ago. FR allows me to do that and you and your ilk so willing play along.

Double post, my bad.
Doubling down on insincere bullshiite. Your bad.
Thank you :)
: )
Two faced, like I said.
So in your new Dixie anyone you don't particularly care for will be rounded up and deported?
The mendacity of Yankee culture (and Im not talking about all Northern folks here) was obvious to some as early as 1860
It was obvious to Arkansas' Governor Rector in 1861. His response to Lincoln's demand for troops (emphasis mine):
In answer to your requisition for troops from Arkansas to subjugate the Southern States, I have to say that none will be furnished. The demand is only adding insult to injury. The people of this commonwealth are freemen, not slaves, and will defend, to the last extremity, their honor, lives, and property against Northern mendacity and usurpation.
Congratulations, mstar! Enjoy:)
There's just nothing like a Southern gentleman:)
We're talking hypothetically of course. If Dixie would rise again and shake off federal tyranny, I'd be the first to concede to possible issues. I'm sure you'd have plenty of your own. Nothing is perfect.
Ronald Reagan once said, "Vote with your feet." If Alabama restricted welfare to nursing mothers and extreme cases of hardship, then Vermont kept liberalizing it's qualifications. Where do you think third generation welfare recipients would reside? This would be the same scenario for firearms, abortion, labor laws, taxes, etc.
Now, if every State in Dixie would pass mandatory firearms ownership laws; well heck, you'd get the gun banners on top of the welfare brats. Looks as if this wouldn't be such a bad thing, for us. :)
A contradiction in terms. IMHO, of course.
So you would rise up and shake off the 'federal tyranny' just so you could impose tyranny of your own. And y'all wonder why we call you hypocritical.

Where do you think third generation welfare recipients would reside? This would be the same scenario for firearms, abortion, labor laws, taxes, etc.
But that's not what you said. You said all the transplants would be sent packing. "...you'll receive all of the sun seeking transplants back." That doesn't sound like it would be voluntary to me. But restoring your Southern culture will require wholesale purges of all your 'undesirables' wouldn't it?
Now, if every State in Dixie would pass mandatory firearms ownership laws; well heck, you'd get the gun banners on top of the welfare brats.
And of course the first thing you do is impose big government controls. "Mandatory firearms." What's next? Mandatory voting, for the correct party of course? Mandatory church going, so long as it was one of the select Protestant denominations? You all bitch and moan about 'federal tyranny' when in fact your only complaint is the federal government may stand in the way of you imposing tyranny of your own. You like to claim that you stand for freedom, but Southern culture has always been founded on a very narrow definition of what a Southerner is and your idea of freedom ends at that border. You want freedom for you, but not for any non-white, non-Anglo Saxon, non-Christian person you're forced to rub shoulders with. And even the Christian part has its limits so far as you're concerned. You people are a walking, talking bundle of contradiction, and I would truly pity anyone who didn't fit your mold in your new Dixie. You would suppress them, grind them down, maybe deport them as you said. All to achieve your homogeneous Southern Reich.
You're the one that was crying to the mods and refused to accept my invitation for a visit. You're The Great Balless One.
You're just an internet wannabe jacking your jaw without anything useful to say and never actually doing anything.
Good for you.
We just celebrated our 49th this past week. I suspect we will take a long trip somewhere for our 50th. I've toyed with various ideas like going an African safari, touring Egypt, doing a private cruise in Alaska, visiting the Alhambra in Spain, going to the Galapagos, taking my wife to see some of the South Pacific islands I've seen, etc., etc. We haven't made our minds up.
That's a non-answer.
If properly executed, total war will always have the effect of ending the conflict quicker with fewer losses for the victors.
So, given that, one must assume that you're all for waging war on the civilian population of Afghanistan.
Of course, if you don't advocate waging war on the non-combatants in Afghanistan, one can deduce that you have more compassion for the Afghan muslims that you do for American Christians because A) total war would reduce the losses of American troops currently deployed and B) you celebrate the total war that was inflicted upon Christian Americans in the South.
If you're man enough to reply to the above please don't dance around like that POS non-sequitur would do. Just be honest.
Here's another question for ya: if total war is so good, shouldn't both sides do it? Would a future war scenario where the armed troops from both sides purposely refuse to engage each other and attack the civilian populations of their opponents instead meet the approval of Colonel Kangaroo?
If the above meets your approval, one could further assume that you're a M.A.D. proponent.
The funny thing about your ignorant reply is that everybody on FR knows you to be a lying POS, even your coven comrades, dufus.
BTW, how are the SDS meetings going?
Are you kidding us? A liberal Chicagoan (you) and a liberal New Yorker (the fat headed lesbian, rosie) would be like two peas in a pod.
Thus playeth the race card. Very unseemly.
LOL - you're the one constantly whining about the state of things and how you want to leave the United States to form the Confederacy of Inbreeding or whatever.
Do it. Go for it. Don't tell us how righteous your cause is and then not DO anything. It makes you look like what you actually are - an internet wannabe who knows nothing he does will ever come to fruition.
The joke is you. It's not "on" you, you're the joke.
And the argument goes on forever. I am more worried about how we will divide the nation in the next few years. Obama makes Buchanan look like a genius.
And the argument goes on forever. I am more worried about how we will divide the nation in the next few years. Obama makes Buchanan look like a genius.
You're the joke, punk.
Everybody knows it. Even your comrades in the coven think that you're an ignorant poser and troll. I know this for a fact.
But, keep posting your drivel. You just keep proving my assertion that yankees are an ignorant bunch of sissies and punks.
The premise of the title of this thread is where it all ends. The worst U.S. President ever (for far) is Barack Obama. Period.
Negative. You would be the only joke going here.
Well you and your "friends" who think you're going to form your own country. You people can't even get off of the internet.
Better yet, all you can do is threaten people to "meet up offline" who disagree with you and rightfully call you out on your crap.
as for the whole coven thing, that's on them. I'll still be around either way.
"In a nutshell Mike, let us go in peace."
That's great. Don't fire the first shot this time.
And I seriously doubt you'll have a majority of the states you live in even wanting to secede.
"Mike you seem obsessed with us, I thought we were unworthy, stupid throw backs, why all the attention from you? Are you a psycho? "
1 - because it's fun
2 - because left unchecked, this BS you spew will paint all conservatives.
Self defeating; the more you post the more we post. Can't give it up can you? Would it be so bad if ALL conservatives wanted to restore the republic by any means possible, INCLUDING SECESSION? Are you that afraid that it might be an idea that time has come, again?
Ironically, the state with the strongest Secession movement currently, and the one with the strongest claim to it's own sovereignty (imo) is...Vermont.
It's culturally OK for them, since they are above the Mason-Dixon giving them the "right" and credibility.
good point.
And next might be Hawaii too.
good point.
And next might be Hawaii too.
you can have the flag. It's a part of history after all.
you don't restore something by destroying it.
The CSA didn't destroy anything, the USA destroyed the CSA. The 11 states the left the union created their own country, nothing was destroyed. You keep it up, I don't need to call you a fascist, you do that to yourself with every post. Come on keep it up.

God bless Sessions for trying so hard and speaking out for our Veterans.
I heard Jeff Sessions on Mark Levin's program...he's well liked by Mark. He is a good man and a Conservative.
It isn't borderline, IT IS CRIMINAL. And what do We the People do with criminals who are a threat to us? More to the point, WHEN will We the People do what we must about the criminals in our government and how they're destroying our county b/4 our eyes? WHEN?
It seems our Government is determined to give free money to those who have never earned and dont deserve it it as opposed to following through commitments on taking care of those who have earned the right through their sacrifice to our country.
This is what moral national breakdown looks like. Country? What country? It's all about getting what's theirs before it all implodes.
Hope they all burn in hell — the whole lot of them.
MORE GOP TREACHERY HERE: http://bit.ly/1bdqNLs
This is indeed another sad day in the life of this once great nation. Once again, the communist/progressives in our nation's government are dissing the very people who fought and bled for it, while rewarding the thiefs and robbers they call "undocumented aliens," but who in fact law breakers and a very real threat to the continued prosperity of the USA.
Too late...
I believe it is time to fire every single one of these politicians...
But I am not going to hold my breath...Everyone believes their guy/gal to be near perfect, and not worth losing because of one measly little vote...
I have a friend that has been going to the VA for 20 or so years, mainly for lupus he developed. He seems to think a lot of it, which surprises me, since it is a classic socialist medical system. What do you think?
Start with welfare to Israel. Congress TRIPLED aid to them over what Obama and the State Department requested, whilst slashing the Veterans' benefits.
Define "slash"
I thought conservatives were supposed to be for reduction in spending across the board. As soon as a 'cut', aka reduction in future rate of spending - which can be changed at a moment's notice by a future Congress - hits a group favored by conservatives, the protests begin.
Pensions for all public employees are paid by non-public workers. Why should a non-government worker work for 35-40 years to pay someone else to retire in 20 years.
I speak about fire fighters, police, and our military retirees, who may look forward to 50 years of retirement checks.
Not sustainable. Adjustments must be made.
"The Stupid Party"? I think it is safe to say Paul Ryan can kiss any aspirations for higher office goodbye. It still would be interesting to know how many members of the Ryan family served in uniform. The same goes for Burr in NC.
My father had the best Blue Cross coverage and he preferred the VA. The ones in the Boston area (and I speak only through family/friends experience) are quite well thought of.
Paul Ryan needs to switch parties.
Simple way to fund the government. 1% Wall Street sales tax on all transactions over and above a $5 million exemption. Abolish the income tax. This would generate trillions in revenue, reduce the poisonous high frequency trading, and make the true systemic controller's finance the general welfare of the citizens of this republic. Until you begin to dismantle the global, privately-held central banking system that enslaves us all at different levels (private, local, national, and supra-national) of chattel debt slavery, all else is cheap talk and wishful thing. Neo-feudalism is slamming down an iron curtain on the globe.
In many things, I am to the right of Attila The Hun, but with the VA (at least the ones in Las Vegas), I think that this type of socialized medicine is fine.
Cases in point (outside the VA, stories are anecdotal for the most part).
1) They have signs up stating that if you aren't called within 15 minutes of your scheduled time, come to the front desk.
2) When you show up, you are given a numbered ticket, which will be displayed in a marquee over a sectioned-off booth within minutes. Show 'em your VA card and you are handed a sheet of personal info and medications used, and are asked if there's any changes. (Wife has to bring down a sheet listing all her meds each time.) Then you are called within the 15 minutes - usually less. In my visit there last week I was called before my time. Three days later, with my wife's doc, we had to wait almost an hour past her appointment.
3) Any time the VA doc prescribes a new/changed medicine, they give you a sheet of all the known side effects. Those outside the system have to ask and rarely get a printout.
4) Same with blood tests. The VA has a deal with a local hospital, so I don't have to travel 160 miles round trip. When I see the doc, she hands me the results for my files.
5) This last trip the doc said I needed another EKG. I went to the next room and in five minutes the tech came in and took the test. Same with X-Rays, in about 15 minutes. Private practice users are sent to another doctor days later for the same tests, generating another $250 office visit charge. I pay $50 for an office visit, plus $9 for each prescription. I could go to Wal-Mart at $4 a pop, but I don't want to mess with a system that, for me anyway, works like a champ.
Now God forbid, the doc tells me not to make any long-range investments and I have to go for weekly dialysis or monthly chemo, I might opt out of the VA due to the distance involved. However, I have this Theory on Immortality, and so far, it's working. :-)
That's why we keep voting him in. Jeff Sessions, has in the past, voted for "bad" legislation, as has every member of the Senate. But, when push came to shove Sen Sessions has actually LISTENED to the people who put him in office, and he's making us proud now.

My view on Denise has changed
Ok, so initially I was only moderately happy with the Denise needles I purchased from here ... however, now that I'm using them so much, I am just LOVING them.
Anyone else use the Denise Rainbow circulars??
You'll definitely hear from both sides of the fence on this topic! Some people love these needles and others hate them. There's just no accounting for preference!
Personally, I have a mixed bag of needles--Boye interchangeable needles (great for "sticky" yarns), Clover Takumi bamboo circulars and DPNs, Cubics circulars, Knitter's Pride Dreamz DPNs, and a hodge-podge of straight needles that people have given me.
Glad to hear you're learning to love your Denise needles. I hope they serve you well.
I wouldn't say I hate them, but since I like to use Magic Loop and I prefer a thinner cable they aren't for me.
Denise was my very first experience with interchangeable circs. I certainly do love how easy they connect, plus the way you can 'invent' any length you want with all those spare cable pieces and connectors.
I did like using them a lot. I remember them being very warm in my hands, buttery in feel. Nicely pointed and accurate. I liked their 'quietness', too. Altogether, very pleasant to work with.
My knitting changed, and the Denise cables became a bit of a hindrance to my speed. Not that speed is my priority. But they simply couldn't keep pace with my yarn type and stitches. I still have my Denise circs, in boring original gray.
Denise stalks are extra long, aren't they a bit? I think they are. This could also contribute to your great experience with them. People with larger hands like that extra length to grasp onto. I also like the longer stalks, even though my hands are smallish.
