Call for paper on 'Rethinking Sustainability: Questioning old perspectives and developing new ones"
Call for Papers
Remanufacturing is an industrial process whereby used products are restored to useful life (Wei et al., 2015). This concept has recently gained significant importance because of increased awareness by corporate leaders and improving more stringent government regulations (Subramoniam et al., 2010). In last decades, many companies have developed environmentally conscious policies and procedures related to the products' design, manufacturing and distribution operations, and end-of-life product management by implementing, among other measures, end-of-life strategies to recover value from used products (Flapper et al., 2005). Remanufacturing is one of these end-of-life strategies that not only can be considered as a way of complying with legislation, but also as a business opportunity with a high impact on the economy (Guide and Van Wassenhove, 2001; Linton, 2008, Subramoniam et al., 2013). In this sense, remanufacturing can be considered as one of the more attractive strategies for sustainable environments (Sharma et al., 2010).

The guest editors of this JCLP Special Volume welcome empirical papers, theoretical manuscripts, and literature reviews that deal with the common theme of "Innovation for Sustainable Development". The objective of this JCLP Special Volume is to reach a global audience and promote discussion about innovation as a mechanism in solving sustainable development challenges within production systems (e.g. cleaner production, sustainable supply chains and operations), industries (such as technology, tourism, service, financing and accounting), governments (e.g., migration, inequality, poverty, and globalization) and education (including higher education, curriculum, skills and competencies, e-learning, and education policy).
Sustainable business models are in the first place oriented to resolving social and environmental issues. In this vein, profit generation is not their predominant concern. In other words, sustainable business models function in contrast to what Magretta (2002: 87), would argue is one of the "fundamental questions every manager must ask: How do we make money in this business?" In order to better understand this contrast, we first would like to refer to the mainstream management knowledge on business modeling. Academics have started to study business models more scrupulously in the last 15 years. Several definitions of business models have been proposed in the literature. Amit and Zott (2012: 42) defined the business model as "a system of interconnected and interdependent activities that determine the way the company does business with its customers, partners, and vendors." Casadesus-Masanell and Zhu (2013: 464) defined new business models as the "search for new logics of the firm, new ways to create and capture value for its stakeholders, and focusing, primarily, on finding new ways to generate revenues and to define value propositions for customers, suppliers, and partners". Markides (2006: 20) wrote about the discovery of fundamentally different business models in existing businesses: "To qualify as an innovation, the new business model must enlarge the existing economic pie, either by attracting new customers into the market or by encouraging existing customers to consume more." Teece (2010: 172) stated that "the essence of a business model is in defining the manner by which the enterprise delivers value to customers, entices customers to pay for value, and converts those payments to profit." Overall, most scholars agree that the business model emphasizes a system-level, holistic approach to explaining how firms do business, that is how value is created and captured (Zott, Amit, and Massa, 2011).
The missing centrality of profit generation in sustainable business models poses some several intriguing questions for researchers, in an inquiry that requires further exploration. Even the well-known strategic management perspective of Porter and Kramer (2011) on shared value creation, with a simultaneous attention to economic and social progress, acknowledges that "our recognition of the transformative power of shared value is still in its genesis." In other words, it is not yet well researched or understood how alternative, often new, creative or innovative sustainable business models function and how their application in the real world evolve to create value without predominantly generating only profit in their ventures. In addition, certain forms of organizations – e.g. B-Corporations, Worker Owned Corporations, Crowd-Funded Corporations, and Cooperative Corporations – deserve attention in this context. While both value creation and value capturing remain important, the priorities for sustainable businesses might be organized in a different order (due to different priorities) compared to classic for-profit entrepreneurs. Moreover, sustainable business models might originate from entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, business development of multinationals or their intrapreneurial activites, but also from the initiative of a specific economic sector, groups of citizens or government agency. The various approaches of resolving important social or environmental issues might be organized thus by both profit and non-profit oriented organizations. This SV is designed to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind sustainable business models, which help to ensure sustainable solutions to social and environmental issues. This SV team solicits a wide variety of sustainable business models, originated by (social) entrepreneurs, (non) profit organizations, sector related or governmental initiatives and other types of creative approaches to help to accelerate the transition to "Equitable, Sustainable, Post-Fossil Carbon Societies."
Chemicals are present in every niche of our daily lives and are ubiquitous; they are present in many products, such as electronic gadgets, for example. The economic impact of the chemical industry worldwide was 3.57 trillion US dollars sales in 2011 (York, 2013), while sales in 2014 for the top 50 chemical companies were worth 961 billion US dollars (Tullo, 2014).
The need for sustainable development (SD) is becoming obvious with climate change and all its consequences; it also presents a challenge to educational institutions on all levels and to lifelong learning. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been recognised as a key to the future since the Stockholm Conference in 1972 (UNEP, 1972). Although many declarations have been written and initiatives taken (Grindsted and Holm, 2012; Lozano et al, 2013, 2015), there is still considerable work to be undertaken by educational institutions. More holistic approaches have been asked for since many of the initiatives reported appear to be done in a compartmentalised way, focusing on parts of the educational system (Lozano et al., 2015). Since the global aim for ESD is to develop the sustainability capacity of all citizens, every new generation needs to be part of the sustainable development processes and capitalize on the recent scientific debates and discoveries in this field as there is a continuous sustainability knowledge and competence gap which needs to be filled (Mochizuki and Yarime, 2016; Ramos et al., 2015, Wiek et al., 2012).
The objectives of this Special Volume (SV) of the Journal of Cleaner Production (JCLP) are based on the need to deepen our understanding of what experiments aiming at sustainability and climate change transitions can achieve. The SV will explore under what conditions they can fulfil the expectations they have raised and what stumbling blocks they may encounter, especially in the process of upscaling. The SV will, in particular, examine how and why experiments succeed or fail to contribute to wider transitions towards sustainability and climate challenges.
All articles in this special issue are freely accessible until 26 September 2016.
This SV focuses on the effective governance of sustainable supply chains, and aims to demonstrate that effective governance will increase social, environmental and ecological benefits, and enable the transition to a more sustainable society. It will combine theories of governance with sustainability science to achieve these aims.
Sustainable development is a broad field that needs innovation. The challenges facing sustainable development are complex and no single innovation will be sufficient for societies to make the necessary transitions to equitable, post-fossil carbon societies. Therefore, societies require a wide diversity of innovations in order to make real progress. Therefore, multi-disciplinary thinking, research and practice are needed. The best way to 'solve' the complex challenges presented by climate changes and numerous other problems is to search for innovative solutions in a multi-disciplinary manner. This is essential in order to break away from the old stagnant ways of thinking to create sustainable and equitable solutions. The objectives of this Special Volume (SV) of the Journal of Cleaner Production (JCLP) are based on this common sense reasoning.

The industrial sector consumed about 19% of the total societal energy and contributed 30% of the total global greenhouse gas (GHS) emissions in 2010 based on a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report (IPCC, 2014; Bajželj, 2013). Manufacturing is responsible for about 98% of the total direct CO2 emissions from the industrial sector (IEA, 2012a, 2012b). Finding better ways to reduce energy consumption and waste emissions in manufacturing processes is therefore, critical to achieving energy savings and emissions reductions. This is essential to enhance the sustainability of our society. Additionally, the IPCC report highlighted that the lack of acceptance of unconventional advanced manufacturing processes, is a major barrier for reducing energy consumption and emissions.
Climate change, environmental pollution, exhaustion of raw materials, and ecosystem deterioration are some of the ecological challenges facing humanity. In addition, poverty and inequity are persisting problems, enhanced by population growth; challenging sustainable development. A deep change in the way we produce and consume is necessary; which would include changes in the economic system and in culture and lifestyles.

Building a team the Thompson way
Draft well. Develop your players. Try keeping them in-house.
It's not a sexy way to build a roster, but it's the Ted Thompson way.
While much of Packer Nation cries for Thompson to do more with free agency or even trades, he's never deviated from his plan. To Thompson, slow and steady will always win the race.
"I think the best and most dramatic improvements you can have is from within," Thompson said recently. "Now, we also place a high value on the draft because we feel that's the future of your core players."
After five drafts in Green Bay, the Packer roster is almost all of Thompson's guys.
In that time, Thompson has made 51 selections and 32 of those still are on the roster (62.7%). Thirteen of those players are starters, and three have gone to the Pro Bowl.
Here's a look at Thompson's five drafts, with a letter grade for each:
Pro Bowl players (2): Aaron Rodgers, Nick Collins.
Starters (2): Aaron Rodgers, Nick Collins.
Reserves (1): Brady Poppinga.
Long gone (8): Terrence Murphy, Marviel Underwood, Junius Coston, Mike Hawkins, Mike Montgomery, Craig Bragg, Kurt Campbell, Will Whitticker.
Overview: Only three of the 11 picks remain (27.3%), but two of Thompson's three Pro Bowl players came from this draft.
Rodgers, the 24th-overall selection, has developed into one of the game's top eight players at his position. His selection alone should keep Green Bay competitive for the next decade, and Thompson deserves credit for finding a franchise quarterback that late in a draft.
Interestingly, though, the man Rodgers replaced - Brett Favre - remains one of the best quarterbacks in the NFC.
Second-round safety Nick Collins had four interceptions in his first 45 NFL games, but he has 13 picks in his last 32 games and has gone to consecutive Pro Bowls.
Poppinga has made 43 starts and remains a solid special-teams player. Of the rest, seven are out of the NFL, with only Mike Montgomery (Minnesota) remaining.
Pro Bowl players: 0
Starters (5): A.J. Hawk, Daryn Colledge, Greg Jennings, Jason Spitz, Johnny Jolly.
Reserves (1): Will Blackmon.
Long gone (6): Abdul Hodge, Cory Rodgers, Ingle Martin, Tony Moll, Tyrone Culver, Dave Tollefson.
Overview: Jennings, a second-round selection, has become Green Bay's top wideout. He has yet to play in a Pro Bowl but has been an alternate twice.
Jolly, a sixth-round pick, has started every game the last two seasons. He blossomed in the 3-4 defense a year ago and has been the second-best player from this class.
Hawk, the No. 5-overall pick, has been a disappointment and had his playing time cut last season.
Meanwhile, San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis, who went one pick after Hawk, has developed into a star.
Colledge (60 career starts), a second-round pick, and third-rounder Spitz (45) have played a ton with mixed results. Blackmon has had his moments in the return game, while the rest of the class failed to distinguish itself.
Pro Bowl players: 0
Starters (2): Korey Hall, Mason Crosby.
Reserves (6): Justin Harrell, Brandon Jackson, James Jones, Allen Barbre, Desmond Bishop, Deshawn Wynn.
Long gone (3): Aaron Rouse, David Clowney, Clark Harris.
Overview: The colossal mistake was drafting Harrell with the 16th-overall pick. The injury-plagued defensive tackle has played in 13 games and made 28 tackles in three seasons.
Cornerback Leon Hall (18th-overall pick to Cincinnati) or linebacker Jon Beason (25th to Carolina) would have been huge additions to the defense. The only starters have been sixth-round picks Hall and Crosby. Hall has been a serviceable fullback, while Crosby (78.0%) has lacked consistency.
The reserves who remain have been solid when given the chance, especially second-rounder Jackson and third-rounder Jones. But Barbre, a fourth-round pick, flopped miserably at right tackle last season and might not return.
Pro Bowler players: 0
Starters (2): Jermichael Finley, Josh Sitton.
Reserves (6): Jordy Nelson, Pat Lee, Jeremy Thompson, Breno Giacomini, Matt Flynn, Brett Swain.
Long gone (1): Brian Brohm.
Overview: Finley has saved what otherwise appears to be a mediocre-to-poor draft. Finley, drafted in the third round, exploded in his second year with 61 catches, 835 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games. He's also just 23 years old.
Sitton, a fourth-round pick, took over at right guard last season and played like a 10-year veteran. His future is bright.
Thompson had three second-round picks - Nelson, Brohm and Lee - and only Nelson has helped.
Giacomini has played one snap in two years; Swain has zero catches; and Thompson is trying to fight back from a spinal concussion.
Pro Bowl players (1): Clay Matthews.
Starters (2): Clay Matthews, Brad Jones.
Reserves (5): B.J. Raji, T.J. Lang, Quinn Johnson, Jarius Wynn, Brandon Underwood.
Long gone (1): Jamon Meredith.
Overview: Thompson struck gold by trading into the first round for Matthews, who set the franchise's rookie sack record. Matthews also went to the Pro Bowl, when Chicago's Lance Briggs backed out.
Jones, picked in the seventh round, certainly surprised and was respectable in seven starts last year.
Raji, the ninth-overall pick, was serviceable in Year 1 but needs to take major strides to prove worthy of his lofty draft status.
Lang, a fourth-rounder, figures to be starting in the near future. The jury's still out on the remaining players.

Elaine B. Snider's love touched many children at church.
By SUSAN BERO
VALPARAISO - For many years, Elaine B. Snider's motherly love was a comfort to members of the First United Methodist Church.
The Rev. David Byrum said Mrs. Snider opened her heart to each of the young wards left in her charge at the Valparaiso church's child care center. "Elaine was all about welcoming children," He said, "Children would come to church and not want to be left in the nursery, so Elaine would just hold them on her lap, week after week until they felt comfortable."
"When I think about Elaine Snider, I think about love," the pastor said. Mrs. Snider, 62 of Valparaiso, died Sept. 28 at the Porter County Hospice. "My mom appreciated everything and enjoyed the simple things in life," said Jody Snider.
She liked taking drives to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Watching the deer, small wildlife and even the birds in their natural habitat gave her pleasure, he said.
While battling myriad health problems, his mother found solace in her faith and enjoyed singing religious hymns.
She cherished time spent with her family and the outings shared with her grandchildren.
"I'll never have a better friend. She was pretty special," her son said. Mrs. Snider was a member of First United Methodist Church in Valparaiso and for many years was employed in the church nursery. She is survived by five sons, Jim (Chris) Lewis of Ottumwa, Iowa, Rick (Sue) Lewis of Daleville, Ala., Michael "Mickey" (Debe) Lewis, Jody Snider and Stephen Snider of Valparaiso; three daughters, Ronda (Jim) Leib, Debra (Brad) Thompson and Stephanie Snider all of Valparaiso; seven grandchildren; three brothers and four sisters.
Services were Oct. 1 at First United Methodist Church with the Rev. David Byrum officiating. Arrangements were handled by the Moeller Funeral Home in Valparaiso.
Interment took place at Kimball Cemetery, Valparaiso.

The Doomsday Clock is an internationally recognized design that conveys how close we are to destroying our civilization with dangerous technologies of our own making. First and foremost among these are nuclear weapons, but the dangers include climate-changing technologies, emerging... Read More
Hoodbhoy has taught in the physics department at Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad for 40 years and now also teaches at Forman Christian College in Lahore. He has won many awards, including the Abdus Salam Award for Mathematics, the Book of the Year Award from the National Book Council of Pakistan, and UNESCO's Kalinga Award for science popularization. In addition to producing many documentaries for Pakistani television, he has written the books Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality, Education and the State: Fifty Years of Pakistan, and Confronting the Bomb: Pakistani and Indian Scientists Speak Out. He is a member of the Bulletin's Board of Sponsors.
From the battlefield to mutual destruction, Pakistan and India plan and prepare for nuclear war.
Building nuclear power plants is one thing. Operating a nuclear power sector is another. How can developing countries ensure that they have established adequate systems for managing nuclear power?
The author argues that, in nations where publics are indoctrinated in the virtues of nuclear weapons, atomic energy establishments are able to get away with almost anything.
The author argues that, in countries such as Pakistan and India, nuclear nationalism and nuclear machismo stand in the way of rational consideration of nuclear energy's suitability.
The author argues that due to a range of challenges, ranging from the dangers of terrorism to the difficulty of evacuating Karachi, Pakistan will face high risks if it enlarges its nuclear power sector.
In India and Pakistan, leaders have rarely weighed the consequences of their actions. Instead, they have simply reacted to events and circumstances.
The Islamic Republic of Iran stands at the threshold to the bomb. In 2010 it had more than enough low-enriched uranium (some 2,152 kilograms) to make its first bomb's worth of weapons-grade uranium. The LEU would have become highly enriched uranium in roughly 10 weeks had it been fed into the 4,186 centrifuges then operating. Thousands of other centrifuges are also known to be operating at the Natanz secret nuclear facility.
First, the bottom line: Pakistan will not break up; there will not be another military coup; the Taliban will not seize the presidency; Pakistan's nuclear weapons will not go astray; and the Islamic sharia will not become the law of the land.
That's the good news. It conflicts with opinions in the mainstream U.S. press, as well as with some in the Obama administration. For example, in March, David Kilcullen, a top adviser to Gen. David Petraeus, declared that state collapse could occur within six months. This is highly improbable.
"All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last," wrote the French novelist Marcel Proust. In 1945, our collective state of mind was despair. World War II touched every inhabitable continent, leaving more than 50 million dead and millions of others as refugees.
"We can make a first strike, and a second, or even a third."

Streets Of Baltimore video from Del
The Del McCoury Band released a music video for Streets of Baltimore a few weeks ago, and it somehow escaped our attention.
It's the title cut from their newest record, a Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard song that was a hit for country singer Bobby Bare in 1966. When Del was getting started as a performer, he played a lot of shows on those streets himself.

Player Loyalty to Clubs Going Forward..
Well, I think that was a very fair and thorough assessment and response..
The reason I ask, and I probably will continue to do so, is again, it's still surprisingly a bit shocking to me after these 10-11 years or whatever.. American sportwise, I'm very much used to it, both the good and bad.. Here, some players (it seems more common than "Football") actually stay as lifelongers with teams, though not as many as earlier years, and then in other instances, they move strictly because of money.. Of course we have the players who start getting on in age, and then decide if they still have enough to offer, and perhaps be a starter, or if not, someone who contributes enough and they'll choose to go to a team who they think will or can win.. In that instance, you can't really hold a grudge, and if you (and anyone else interested) were to want to separate examples there, have a look at my Denver Broncos.. Champ Bailey is my favorite player, and has been for 13 years, the best at his position, and over the past decade, they've not been very good, yet he's stayed and I hope to god they win a Super Bowl for him.. Then we have Peyton Manning, one of the greatest qbs of all time who missed all of last year w 4 neck surgeries, and decided to join Denver now at the age of 35, highly sought after, but thinking it would be the best place to end his career and win as an older qb.. They finished 13-3, 2nd best record in the whole NFL but were shockingly defeated last week... dagger in the heart for me, and them..
But getting back to your football, and based on the Cavani interview(s), and other things he's said, I'm just wondering if other players will have a similar type of feeling or comments at one moment, and then see them through for a length of time afterwards, rather than just jumping ship right away when things aren't all peachy?
In Cavani's case, he's a bit unique.. he's got Italian roots, he genuinely does love it there, his team has other Uruguayans and S. American players he's friends with, and Napoli are 2nd in the table, 3 pts off the lead. They are a very good team, but not as explosive as the one who had the fun ride in last year's CL, so nothing is guaranteed... If they do miss CL, I don't think he changes his mind, and predict he stays, unless their Chairman (very wealthy) is in some dire need of funds and wants to sell him, which he's stated adamently he doesn't and would only do so when Cavani asks..
I used Agger as another example.. He does seem pretty genuine, and for a guy who's as outspoken as any on LFC, outside of a 14th-16th place finish, which would also mean he's not done his job, I don't see him leaving..
I guess it's a hard question because let's face it, not too many players will leave United right now, even if they're getting 1 game in 3.. like Kagawa.. and the same for Chelsea.. City I can see another scenario because nobody aside from 4-5 players gets any regular action there, and they're not performing to standards..
Look how terribly unhappy Kaka is at Fail Madrid, and the problem ultimately is his fault.. He accepted a move, it was a record fee, and his wages are through the roof.. Milan would have him back if they could pay his wages, and in hindsight, much like Fernando Torres, if they'd known the future, they wouldn't be in this conversation..
The grass isn't always greener, even if you get a few pieces of silverware.. I guess it's just my personal perspective that pride, playing time, a career and legacy are just as important as the accolades .. But, I'm a bit different..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Jason, I think one thing to consider and I don't know all the details, but I don't think you see as much movement in American sports specifically because the teams don't want it, and so have structured it that way.
For example I think most American footballers are on much longer contracts than our footballers, and there are actually restrictions by age of who and cannot become a free agent. There is no equivalent of 2 transfer windows, or a real transfer market in the NFL but a releasing of free agents or trading between clubs.
Baseball might be a better comparison, where in fact there is a lot more movement of players. But, again I think other than the older players who are eligible for free agent status, most of the trading is between clubs, with the player really given a take it or leave it choice once the deal is done.
I'm not saying one system is better than the other but I do think it's fair to say that football (the real kind) does operate in the free market, with the transfer market being a strong example, while American sports operates much more in a closed market where a specific league rather than the market itself gets to dictate the rules of any transactions that occur, and that control by its nature is likely to suppress movement.

Heavy winds whipped across southeastern North Carolina recently, waking homeowners and leaving downed trees and limbs behind.
Strong weather is common in southeastern North Carolina, and so is cleaning up after it. But there's a way to do it safely and wisely.
Prioritize your chores by starting to work on trees that endanger buildings and fences first.
Don't attempt to handle trees that overhang or touch power lines. Call local utility company professionals for assistance in removing these trees.
For many years, I have announced I am not a Christmas person. I say to all who care to hear this is not my holiday. My words have caused some to look askance at me. It is likely I am raining on their "happiness parade," bringing a negative note to their Noels.
Lydia F. Hewett's children and grandchildren fondly recall spending Christmas at her house in the Boone's Neck community, stringing popcorn and eating home-cooked meals to celebrate the holiday season and Hewett's birthday each Dec. 15.
Her most recent celebration was the ultimate milestone birthday. Hewett turned 100 years old last week, and several of her children and other family members visited her at Autumn Care of Shallotte to honor her years of love, caring and wisdom.
Ah, Christmastime. What a wonderful time of year. In our nation's capital, a record snowfall has blanketed the city, creating a beautiful backdrop for a legislative disaster of epic proportions that is unfolding within the hallowed walls of the U.S. Capitol.
In the spirit of the holidays, I thought I'd write a light-hearted tribute to the season, but then, around 1 a.m. Monday, the Senate secured its 60 votes needed to move forward with healthcare reform, derailing any hopes for jovial Christmas prose or sugarplum fairies to dance in my head.
The best sports movie?
I am sure several will come to mind, about baseball stars and football stars, about golfers and boxers, about bull riders or auto racers or Olympians.
My favorite: "A Christmas Story."
The movie is often summarized as being about a boy, named Ralphie, trying to persuade his parents to get him an air rifle (i.e., a BB gun) for Christmas. But I think the popular movie also is about a young hunter in a suburban setting, and it is full of sports anecdotes.
West Brunswick coach James Walker was aware of South Brunswick's young team and knew it was important for the Trojans to jump out on the visiting Cougars early in the Dec. 15 contest.
West did just that, opening up an 18-2 lead at the end of the first quarter and easily holding on for a 57-21 victory in the first game of the Waccamaw Conference season.
West used a balanced scoring attack in the opening period with points coming from seven players.
With championships in volleyball, men's soccer, and men's cross country, West Brunswick leads the Waccamaw Conference standings after the fall season for the Wachovia Confererence Cup.
The Wachovia Conference Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools achieving the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within their conference.
Wachovia has sponsored the conference awards program since 1980.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—West Bladen, with a record of 8-1 and ranked high in the state, sank South Brunswick 49-33 Friday night in a Waccamaw Conference boys' basketball game in the Cougars' gym.
The Cougars entered the game coming off a 48-45 loss Dec. 16 to Horry County powerhouse North Myrtle Beach.
South coach Dan McGougan likes his teams to face a tough schedule before they get deep into conference play, and these last two games should get them going in the right direction.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—Foul trouble and the inability of the Cougars to make their free throws cost them a victory Friday night in a Waccamaw Conference girls' basketball game.
They faced off against a West Bladen team that knows how to run the floor, pass, rebound and make free throws. Yet, the inexperienced girls of South, with nine players suited up, still made a game of it on sheer determination before losing 47-37.
After a series or party-line votes on healthcare reform this week, senators are expected to cast what could be their final vote on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act early Christmas Eve.
The week of votes on the reform bill began with a cloture vote at 1 a.m. Monday, when a 60-40 party-line vote gave senate Democrats the three-fifths majority needed to move for with the bill.

Skip to comments.It's Not The State of the Union Address - It's The State of the Coup Address!
Posted on 01/28/2014 7:53:40 AM PST by usconservative
Tonight is the "State of the Union" address. It is widely anticipated that Barack Hussein Obama will steer clear of the fiasco that is known as "Obamacare" and choose to focus instead on raising the minimum wage "for working families" (cough, hack..) and on legalizing more than 11 million criminal illegal aliens who violated our laws when they entered this country.
We cannot allow Obama to lie to the American people again without making our own thoughts and opinions known.
Our discontent with the current occupant of the White House must be expressed in a peaceful way that draws attention to the wide disapproval of this President.
Social Media campaigns are a great way to do that, especially since the Obama Administration pays so close attention to sources such as Twitter, FaceBook - and lets face it -- they mine our cellphone, web, text and other data that they illegally steal every day.
Tonight, let's let them hear it. The AmericanSpring movement here on FR is today announcing our Twitter Campaign which will run during the State of the Union address.
Our Twitter Campaign will be a coordinated effort with you, Free Republic. We are asking those of you with Twitter Accounts to subscribe to our "AmericanSpring2014" account and help us re-tweet the messages we will be sending during the State of the Union address.
We have 35 messages that we'll be sending in direct response to the President's State of the Union Address. Our goal is to "blow up" the Twitter Universe with those messages.
Our Account, AmericanSpring2014 will use the #StateOfTheCoup hashtag after each tweet. We will also be cross-pollinating the #SOTU hashtag that has already been setup on Twitter, presumably by the White House or someone associated with it.
Please join us tonight in this coordinated campaign against the State of the Union propaganda - and let freedom of speech reign!
Please join us tonight on Twitter by following "AmericanSpring2014" and re-tweeting our tweets.
If you do not have a Twitter account, please set one up using a disposable email address (Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo, etc..) and join in the fun. Below are the Tweets will be sending out tonight.
Of course, if anyone wants to ADD to our list - by all means contribute! Please keep them under 140 characters including our hashtag for this evening.
Tonight is the "State of the Union" address.
Its more like a state of chaos. The country is in shambles.
Just added that along with the pic to the list! EXCELLENT!
Need my glasses. I keep reading it as the STFU address.
Who is that between the columns? Yeezus?
He certainly thinks he's the 2nd coming.
We hope you will ALL Join US in "blowing up" the Twitter universe and speaking out for average, ordinary American's who increasingly DO NOT approve of this President!
Please delete #2 — I've corrected formatting errors in our list and re-posted. Thank you very much.
Short version:
Correction: please delete post #5.
LOL!!! Figuring out how to make that a tweet to add to the list .....
Hey! I'm #1!
Yeah, The Old Lady hates me now so she asked off my ping lists.... :(
Admin Mod: Sorry to be a PITA ... can you please add "FIGHT BACK AGAINST LIES! JOIN US DURING THE STATE-OF-THE-COUP SPEECH" to the title?
How can anyone hate you Laz? You're such a cuddly fuzzball.
Admin... lol.. usc is new to this, please bear with him... he meant CHANGE the title to the text he put quotes.... not ADD to the title...
If I wasn't at work and busy I'd have done this for him and us... sorry guys...
She doesn't.... it's an attempt to create a buzz on the thread.... get it in front of more eyeballs.... :)
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I consider both of you my friends. :^(
Well, if she ever changes her mind she can have her spot back....
No chicky, you don't need to listen. Just tweet with us!
I know, so do I. Don't need to watch, just join in the fun and re-tweet knowing that the White House is watching an organized social-media repudiation of their lies and propaganda.
This is one of my more "healthier" outlets for my anger at this poser in chief. ;-)
Great idea.
I've signed up with Twitter, but I'm not at all sure how it works.
I can get "Tweets" from channels that I subscribe too, but if I reply, who sees my tweets ?
A quick tutorial might be helpful.
Met TheOldLady, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued
In a trap, trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She ****ing hates me
She ****ing hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
after that **** got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no
In a trap, trip I can't grip
never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
that's my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it's over and I'm glad
'cause I'm a fool for all I've said
la la la la la la la la la love
la la la la la la la la la love
and she tore my feelings like I had none
She ****ing hates me
the coup 'things' the resident of the white hut have done so far are on track with other dhimmicrats, more specifically Andrew Jackson (on a Supreme court decision "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!")
I worry about the election in 2016 where the real coup could materialize....
keep your powder dry.
I wish I could write a quick tutorial effectively, I've only been on Twitter a few days myself and am still "figuring it out."
as best I know, you should see a "Re-Tweet" option for each "tweet" you see on the page. Click that.
Can anyone else chime in and help here?
Be there tonight at the Tweetathon.. it will be a solid, serious action against the Coup. Egypt's Morsi was toppled with Twitter!
Man alive! You've given me a year's worth of new Taglines!
Then help us re-tweet them tonight! :-)
I don't do social networking...
no tweets, no hashtags (whatever happened to pound sign or number sign???), no face book, no nothin'.
I haven't figured out this Tweet thing - still trying to learn DOS commands.
Spread the word manually to those that do? Or at a minimum, bump this thread a couple of times, and/or ping people you might think are like-minded here?
Same here. If my boss didn't pay for my cell phone with all the bells and whistles and apps (none of which I use), I'd find one without anything but a keyboard. Besides, I think a phone like that cuts down on NSA spying.
"These last few years we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power at home. We've paid a heavy price for having a president whose priority is expanding his own power."
— Candidate Barack Obama in 2007 about George W Bush's abuse of executive orders.
Hmmm, that reminds me, I get that when I put too many hot peppers in my chili.
BTW, I just saw that Youtube will be broadcasting the SOTU live.
I wonder if they will turn off the comments ?
Q: What's the Difference between Ground Hog Day and the State of the Union Address?
A: One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.
Love it -— but it doesn't fit into a tweet! ROFL!!!!!
I have heard the excerpts of this person's speeches circulated for many years— He has Never said what America needs to hear (a sincere apology for having violated and abused our Constitution as often as he has done) WHY listen to his LIES now?I will pay no more attention to the distraction that is Obama than I will any Halftime show at the Stupor Bowl —or the Made in Hollyweird events like the Satanic Grammy's
It's all about the state of our elected leaders, not the state of the nation.
I put together my first youtube video about last years SOTU address. My idea was NOT to continue preaching to the choir, but to reach people that still thought for themselves.
Even though I still think it is good, It never gained any traction.
It's not about the images. You need to listen to the speech and the lyrics simultaneously.
Taking a familiar song and contrasting that with 0bamas words, with the thought that the familiar would override the speech. It's a form of ridicule.
Maybe I'm one of the few left that actually listens.
I would like to take exception to the use of airborne "jump wings" used to decorate this digitized conceptualization of dear leader. He has: not the courage, the character, nor the honor to receive such an award. I realize someone is having a go of it with the dictator meme with Soebarkah, however, a skull and cross bones, an Alfred E. Neuman face, a smiley face, a donkey, or an SS symbol as an additional photo-shopped replacement for the wings would be very much appreciated.
The difference between Ground Hog Day and the State of the Union Address is that the ground hog may be right.
Will that fit? I don't use twitter.

Reader Aimee writes, "I am planning to head up a playgroup in my area but am rather unqualified to do so. Well, I have the children (ages 3 and 1) and am a SAHM, but have never done the playgroup scene.
"Now that my son has blossomed into a social butterfly, and the long cold winters make it difficult for lengthy periods of outdoor play, I can see the benefits of a steady playgroup for the children (and me too!).
"So I have the location – my church basement, which comes well-equipped; however, my question is this: how does one manage a successful play group that can benefit both mothers and children?"
Readers, I don't have a lot of experience with playgroups. I was in one when my oldest was a baby, but it's been awhile. Therefore, I'd like to default any answer to you guys! Help me out with Aimee's question:
How does one manage a successful play group that can benefit both mothers and children?
She also adds these questions – feel free to answer any of them as well:
- Can you suggest any rules I should have in place before getting started?
- Is structured play a better idea?
- How do I deal with unruly children or negligent parents?
Alright, take it away, readers!

Need a filling? It may be your MEDICINE that's ruining your teeth
We all know sweet, sugary food is bad for our teeth. Yet every day millions of us take medicines without realising they, too, can adversely affect oral health. Here, ANGELA EPSTEIN identifies some of the chief culprits — and how to tackle their effects.
Medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines and blood pressure tablets can affect your teeth
Problem: Cavities
Asthma inhalers usually contain an aerosol form of medication known as beta agonists, which work by relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways, making it easier to breathe. However, studies in Australia and Scandinavia have linked the drug to an increased risk of tooth decay, because of its slightly acidic content.
The key is to make sure the medication doesn't touch the teeth. 'If used properly in an inhaler, there is no reason why the drug should do so,' says Stephen Spiro, professor of respiratory medicine at University College London.
However, the drug is also available in powdered form, also in an inhaler, which may contain lactose, a milk sugar, to improve its taste. And if residue from the powder is left on the teeth, it could contribute to decay.
'Changes begin with brown areas, no bigger than a pinprick, on the inside of the teeth,' explains Dr Mervyn Druian, of the London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry.
'Teeth begin to feel rougher if you run your tongue along them, and more sensitive. Without meticulous dental hygiene these can develop into cavities.'
After using your inhaler, rinse your mouth with water. And as well as careful brushing and flossing, see your hygienist three times a year. They will apply fluoride paste to strengthen teeth and use a product such as BioXtra to stimulate salivary flow and make it harder for decay to develop.
Problem: Discoloured teeth
The antibiotic tetracycline can cause brown stripes on the teeth when given to children whose teeth are still developing (before the age of eight). For this reason it is not prescribed to pregnant women.
'When children are still growing, tetracycline combines with calcium in their teeth, producing the stain,' explains Dr Druian. 'Unfortunately the stains, though not harmful, are permanent, so check with your doctor if they prescribe antibiotics for your children.'
Tetracycline is sometimes used to treat acne and this can cause teeth to darken if used for several months. Teeth whitening treatments may help restore their natural colour.
High doses of antibiotics can also cause oral thrush — an infection triggered by a yeast called candida. Though antibiotics will kill harmless bacteria in the mouth, they won't kill candida, which may then multiply. For the same reason, using antibacterial mouthwash too often — several times a day — may also cause thrush.
Thrush appears as white spots in the mouth, which join together to form larger spots. These are not usually painful but the mouth can feel generally sore.
Occasionally, antibiotics can trigger erythema multiform, a hypersensitive reaction leading to sores and blisters in the mouth (and also a rash of red and pink rings on the hands and legs). Although this should clear spontaneously, it may need treatment with steroids.
Problem: Dry mouth
Antihistamines are taken to treat allergic health conditions such as hay fever. They work by blocking histamine — a chemical released by the immune system to help protect cells against infection. This prevents the body producing the signs of allergy such as itching and sneezing.
'However, in blocking the receptors — the docking sites on the cells — for histamine, the drug can have an effect on receptors elsewhere in the body, such as those on the tongue and in the mouth,' explains Stephen Foster, a community pharmacist from Kent who specialises in allergies and respiratory conditions.
'This in turn affects the salivary glands, blocking their release of saliva, causing dry mouth. As well as being uncomfortable, dry mouth can lead to gum disease; the gums pull away from the teeth, and form "pockets" that become infected. Teeth eventually loosen and can even fall out.'
'Saliva protects the surface of the teeth as it contain agents that can fight harmful bacteria,' explains Professor StJohn Crean, dean of the School of Dentistry and Medicine at the University of Central Lancashire
'As sugary foods are acidic and can cause damage to the teeth, it's important to limit these to meal times; and rather than finishing a meal with something sweet, try to finish meals with something savoury such as a piece of cheese, which will neutralise acid in the mouth immediately.'
Chewing sugarless gum and sipping water may help provide temporary relief.
If you need dental surgery, your dentist should be aware if you are taking antidepressants
Problem: Gum overgrowth
High blood pressure pills known as calcium channel blockers (for instance, amlodipine) can cause the gums to overgrow, which can be uncomfortable, unsightly and can make it difficult to clean teeth properly. This can, in turn, lead to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), which if not treated can affect tooth-supporting tissues and lead to tooth loss. It happens over a period of three months or so in varying degrees.
The problem itself won't go away unless there is a change of medication. If you can't do this, it's vital to be fastidious about oral hygiene. You may need guidance from your dentist or hygienist about the best way to clean your teeth, depending on the level of growth.
Blood pressure tablets can also cause what is known as a lichenoid drug eruption. This is where, as a reaction to the medication, the lining of the mouth becomes sensitive, leading to little white ulcers developing in the cheeks and lips.
'Treatment may involve steroid spray or medication to reduce inflammation, while rinsing with mouthwashes that contain local anaesthetic may give temporary relief, too,' adds Professor Crean.
Problem: Infected jaw bone
Oral bisphosphonates, the drugs commonly prescribed for osteoporosis can, ironically, cause bone damage and infection in the jaw.
The drugs, such as Fosamax (also known as alendronate), work by blocking the action of the cells that remove bone tissue.
However, sometimes as a side-effect, the drug can affect the blood supply to the bone supporting the teeth, causing the jaw to become weak, brittle or infected — a condition called bone necrosis.
Between 1 and 6 per cent of those taking bisphosphonates will develop the problem. Symptoms include pain, swelling and loose teeth.
Don't stop taking your medication without consulting your doctor. Antibiotics and removing dead tissue through surgery can help treat the problem. Good oral hygiene is vital, including regular brushing and flossing. And tell your dentist if you take these tablets as it's best to avoid major surgery such as removing teeth.
Problem: Inflammation and bleeding gums
Some progesterone-only birth-control pills can lead to bleeding and inflammation of the gums.
Gum disease is caused by a build-up of plaque, a sticky substance that contains bacteria. Plaque releases acids that damage tooth enamel and attack the gums, causing inflammation. Regular acid assaults on enamel can also lead to holes in teeth (cavities).
The inflammation may be greater for women on the Pill, says dentist Dr Jeremy Hill of the Ware Centre of Dental Excellence in Hertfordshire.
'One reason is that they increase levels of hormones such as progesterone, much in the same way as pregnancy does. It is thought these hormones cause an exaggerated reaction to dental plaque, triggering inflammation.
'This is also why pregnant women may have inflamed gums that bleed when brushed.'
Changing to a Pill with a lower concentration of progesterone may help. Dr Hill adds that while there is no treatment for the inflammation, good dental care will minimise it. 'It may also be useful to use antiseptic mouthwash that will help to prevent plaque forming.'
Problem: Dry mouth, bleeding
Antidepressants can cause dry mouth because they inhibit the molecules that activate the salivary glands. A particular type of antidepressant — the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which include Citalopram — can also make the mouth more prone to bleeding. This is because they affect levels of platelets, the cells which help the blood clot.
'So if you are on antidepressants and happen to be having dental surgery, you are likely to bleed more,' says Professor Crean. 'You must tell your dentist if you are on antidepressants. He or she will then make sure they stitch the area after they have removed the tooth rather than just taking it out.'

According to a 2006 study by USA Football and the Wharton Business Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. The state of Mississippi is cited as having the best high school football in America. An upcoming film will tell that story on the big screen.
A press conference was held Monday at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in Jackson announcing the July release of the Movie: Mississippi Gridiron Gold.
Based on the popular 2007 book by Mississippi Attorney Mike Frascogna, the movie will share the thoughts, stories and philosophies of the state's greatest coaches. Some of those stories will be happy; others sad. Some will focus on the sport's deep history within the context of Mississippi's social changes.
"The theme of this movie [is] pride," said Frascogna. "Any kid that's ever played the game... who's playing the game now... when they walk out of the theatre, they're gonna feel really special about what they do when they play football in Mississippi in their high school years."
The movie is produced by Frascogna and Mississippi High School Activities Association executive director Dr. Ennis Proctor.
The magnolia state produces more college and professional football players per capita than any other state in the country.

In a slightly alternate world the minds of teen offenders are uploaded into computers for rehabilitation—a form of virtual wilderness therapy. Zach is a homo cognoscens, one of the new humans who can enter the virtual Fulgrid. Though still a high school student, he is indentured to the Fulgur Corporation as a counsellor. Laura is a homo sapiens. Their story is part odyssey, part tragedy, part riff on the nature of consciousness.

I use my Kindle to listen to books as I drive, frequenlty offroad. This book had me stopping in the middle of the trail repeatedly to 'rewind' and listen to a passage again. Mr. Lowe has a unique and satisfying style of storytelling that has created in me a terrible impatience as I await his future tales. An engaging and thoughtful look at the future of youth empowerment with a wonderfully dystopic feel.
I wouldn't exactly put this in the young adult category! Very interesting concept, well written, a little confusing at times but that is by intention I think.
I'll be looking for more from this writer.

DELTA TWP - A tractor trailer carrying a load of lumber has overturned in Delta Township.
The driver lost control and tipped over on the westbound ramp off of I-96 entering onto westbound Saginaw Highway. Hundreds of 2X4's have spilled along the ramp.
The accident happened at about 10:00 in the morning. An Eaton County Sheriff deputy tells News 10 that the driver of the semi was not hurt. I-96 lanes are moving, but the ramp will be closed for several hours, while the truck and trailer are righted and the lumber is picked up. It was not immediately known where the truck was from or where it was heading.

Tim Kennedy usually celebrates Fourth of July grilling for family, military friends
Special forces soldier Tim Kennedy would usually be celebrating the Fourth of July on a pontoon boat, grilling for family and military friends in his adopted home state of Texas.
Instead, Kennedy (15-4 mixed martial arts, 0-0 UFC) will be in Las Vegas, cutting weight in preparation for a fight against fellow UFC newcomer Roger Gracie (6-1, 0-0) at UFC 162 on Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET).
Fighters competing at holiday weekend events get a raw deal by having to shed pounds as others grill outside and eat freely. But for Kennedy, 33, who walks into the cage as a 185-pound middleweight, it might be an even crueler twist.
In addition to his skills as a Green Beret sniper and weapons specialist, Kennedy is a budding chef who turned down offers to appear on cable TV cooking shows Top Chef and Grill Masters to make his UFC debut.
"I'm going to make it up Saturday night," he says.
You won't hear any other complaints, though, from the former Strikeforce title challenger, who is assigned to the Texas National Guard's special operations detachment after a five-year stint at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
UFC 162: "The Spider" says he's not afraid of "Bones"
Growing up, Kennedy ate hot dogs and watched fireworks at his family's home in Cambria, Calif., during the summer holiday. But Independence Day took on new meaning after his first deployment.
"It was more than just a holiday get-together where I got to see my cousins and hang out," he said. "Watching everybody have such a fantastic time, loving life, loving America — I wish that was the feeling year-round, that it didn't take the Fourth of July for us to be like, 'Yeah, America is awesome.'"
Kennedy has served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and estimates he's lost 100 friends in war. His detachment covers Africa, among other countries, and he could be called back at any moment if his services are required.
He often has expressed a desire to return to combat at the same time he pursues a goal of becoming a world champion in MMA. Although sometimes critical of his country's policies, he's an unabashed patriot.
"I wish that everyone that's complaining about how things are here would shut their mouth for a little bit, go around the world and see how it is everywhere else," Kennedy said. "Then come back and celebrate."
And while he'll have to delay his observance, he gets a little pleasure in noting his Brazilian opponent's adopted home country is England.
"I'm not saying 1776 is relevant in this particular fight, but I think there's some symbolism," he said. "I always love beating up redcoats around the holiday."

By Cpl. Tim Oberle, 2nd CAB Public AffairsFebruary 3, 2011
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea - Since the start of operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, many stories have been written about two uniformed Family members meeting up in a combat zone. Usually the parent stops by the base where their child is stationed to greet them, say hello and then take the next helicopter out of the area.
In the 2nd Infantry Division, one Family actually protects the peninsula from the ground to the air.
Pfc. Shawn Elliot, a tanker from C Company, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, holds things down on the Korean soil in his M-1 Abrams tank, while his father, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Steve Elliot, an AH-64 Apache pilot and safety officer from B Company, 4th (Attack) Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, holds court in the air.
Perhaps even more unusual is the father-and-son combo's recent participation in a division-level combined live-fire gunnery exercise at the Multi-Purpose Range Complex outside of Pocheon, South Korea. During the combined exercise held this past October, Shawn interacted with his father by conducting calls for fire and then watched as his dad blasted away at the fictitious enemy strongholds.
"From a professional's perspective, I was pretty excited to be able to conduct a realistic exercise with the tankers," said Steve. "But on a personal note and as a father, it was a pretty proud moment hearing my son's voice call in the strike."
For Shawn, the exercise was a new experience.
"I had a blast during the exercise, but it took a while for it to actually sink in that I was directing the helicopter's movement from the ground," he said.
Although Shawn has enjoyed being a tanker, something he always wanted to be while growing up, he now wants to switch over to aviation.
"I'm going to drop my flight packet after I get back from my deployment," he said.
Shawn returns to the states in March to Fort Bliss, Texas and will deploy to Afghanistan shortly after. He said he hopes to do well enough in flight school to be selected to fly Apaches like his father.
"I wish I could deploy with him," said Steve, "but I don't think they will let me. Either way I think he will be ready because the training they conduct here in Korea builds a strong foundation for your next duty station."
Despite their pending separation, Steve is satisfied with the time they have been able to spend together while stationed in the Korea.
"We came over here originally in December 2008 and he left for basic training and (advanced individual training)," said Steve. "I was really excited when I found out he was coming back here for his first duty station."
"Since he came back, we have been able to spend just about every holiday and four-day weekend together as a Family," Steve added. "For him to be stationed on Camp Casey has almost been like he is away at college. He is far enough away to be on his own, but he is still close enough so that we can help him with anything he needs."
Whether in a war zone or back on the home front, Steve concluded, "The way I look at it, I've got his back from the air to the ground and he has my back from the ground to the air."
