CARSON, Calif. (AP) – With Thierry Henry resting at home, the New York Red Bulls showed they can overcome the absence of their top player.
Joel Lindpere scored to help the Red Bulls win their first game since scoring star Henry was injured, 1-0 over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night.
The marquee matchup between Major League Soccer's highest-profile teams missed some of its usual luster without Henry, the French player expected to be sidelined up to one month because of a strained hamstring
Still, New York was able to piece together a morale-boosting win over its West Coast rival.
''It's definitely big. It's good for the team spirit,'' said defender Markus Holgersson, wearing the captain's band in place of Henry. ''We're fighting for each other.''
Henry had been enjoying a sensational season when he was injured in a 1-0 win over New England on April 28. He has nine goals this season.
Lindpere scored in the 19th minute and the Red Bulls held on to beat the Los Angeles squad that knocked them out of playoffs last season en route to the title.
''We always create chances,'' Holgersson said. ''And when we defend like this, we are a strong team.''
New York improved to 5-3-1, while Los Angeles dropped to 3-5-1 with a second consecutive loss.
The Galaxy were again plagued by an inability to score, succumbing to a second straight shutout loss in what has been a disappointing start to the season. They lost 2-0 to Seattle on Wednesday night.
''We keep saying we're not worried about it,'' Galaxy star David Beckham said. ''But there's going to be a point where we need to be worried about it and we're close to that now.''
Henry was one of six New York regulars to miss the match for various reasons. Fellow designated player Rafa Marquez was serving the final game of his three-game suspension for breaking San Jose midfielder Shea Salinas' collarbone three weeks ago.
Red Bulls coach Hans Backe is counting down the days until his squad returns to full strength.
''I think we can survive three, four games like this,'' he said. ''We just have to focus on the defending game.''
The only goal came courtesy of some spotty Galaxy defense.
Connor Lade started the sequence with a pass alongside the sideline to Jan Gunnar Solli. Solli dribbled into the box and placed a pass between two Los Angeles defenders. Lindpere had ample amount of room, using his left foot to beat a charging Bill Gaudette for his first goal of the campaign.
Gaudette was starting for the third straight game in place of Josh Saunders, who is away from the team dealing with a personal matter.
Play in the second half was dictated by the Galaxy, who despite having a number of opportunities failed to level the score. Juninho's rocket shot in the 81st minute from outside the box required a strong save by Ryan Meara. Landon Donovan later had a look from a few yards out, but his shot went directly at the goalkeeper.
Meara was credited with four saves in his second consecutive shutout effort.
''You can't take one play off with those guys because they'll punish you,'' Meara said.
The Galaxy looked to have broken through for the game's first goal in the 13th minute, only to be denied on a fine recovery by Holgersson. After Robbie Keane drew Meara off his line and sent a flick perfectly over his head, the bouncing ball appeared destined for the back of the net before Holgersson ran it down booted it away at the line.
It was the microcosm of another goal-less Galaxy performance.
''Our play is just not good enough, our passing was poor,'' Beckham said. ''We battled for 90 minutes, that's the positive thing. We had our chances tonight, we didn't put them away. I don't think we deserved to win the game anyway. It's another tough one to take.''

Timo's Book List of Popularized Natural and Behavioral Sciences
I feel that in education it is of utmost importance not only to know one's own special field but also to have a general knowledge of science in some other disciplines. This will help one to structure and analyze many kinds of information for a better understanding our existence on this planet. Here is for your edification my personal long list of enjoyable readings in (mostly) popularized natural and behavioral sciences material. This list out of my domestic book-shelves could be useful to enhance one's general knowledge in science. Most, but not quite all of the material is in English.

Andreadis, Athena (1998). To Seek out New Life. The Biology of Star Trek. 274. Crown Publishers, Inc., New York. (A book by a neurology assistant professor at Harvard Medical School that is a mix between science and entertainment. The subject is to speculate what would be correct and what incorrect in scientific terms in the popular Star Trek television series and films. She writes very well in terms of biology, knowledge of the series, and a large vocabulary that is uncommon with a writer born to another native language. Throughout the book she manages to slip in a considerable amount interesting of biology, molecular biology, Darwinism and even some sound sociological knowledge and views. Despite of being somewhat of an entertaining fan book of the Star Trek series, the book does very well on the scientific aspect.)

Dr. Asimov died on the 6th of April, 1992. By that time the number of his published books exceeded 460 on all possible walks of life and science. A feat that is unlikely to be surpassed by any other popular science writer. No slight to his science fiction, but he definitely was at his best as a lucid writer of science fact.)

Blackmore, Susan (1999). The Meme Machine. 264. Oxford University Press. (About the new science of memetics, i.e. the propagation of claims, ideas and concepts in human societies. How they survive and replicate. A bit like the genes in the genetics model. Competes and complements the explanations presented in sociobiology. Unfortunately, the author has had difficulties in deciding between writing popularized science and a meriting scientific product. The end-result therefore is properly neither. Furthermore, the introductory part (about half of the book) is far too long-winding a repetition of the basics of genetics vs. memetics before actually getting to the point. The point being the memetic model and the explanations of behavior. Besides, at times the obvious hero-worship of Dawkins (of "the selfish gene", the initiator of memetics) by Blackmore comes a bit too much through. Nevertheless, the basic idea is so intriguing, novel and sound that the book most certainly is worth reading for anyone who wishes to understand the modern backgrounds of human behavior. The most interesting part of the book is the memetic explanation for the persistent existence of various cults and religions throughout history including the present technological age, even if they objectively are so obviously false figments of mass imagination. Likewise the analysis of the effect of the Internet, and the many other well-presented ideas. The last half of the book is decisively better than the first half. However, in the very last chapter about the nature of human consciousness through mimes Blackmore gets lost. Her theory in that respect simply is not yet ready for presentation.)

The more interesting ones are towards the end concerning the future of medicine and biology. On the other hand, one clearly sees that some of the middle essays are half-hearted, forced journeys into the discipline of the respective authors, who have forcibly come of with anything. Selectively, however, worth reading.)

(1995). River out of Eden. A Darwinian View of Life. 196. Phoenix. (This is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best written popular science book about the modern knowledge about Darwinism. We all are familiar with the basic principle of Darwinism, but this book lucidly explains and applies what is currently known in genetics about how the DNA code works in natural selection. It is a good lesson even for a scientist to be able to consider ones observations detached from one's potential, subjective beliefs. Also, books like this effectively dismantle creationism-type of present-day pseudo sciences.)
Dawkins, Richard (1996). Climbing Mount Improbable. 340. W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York. (Based on Dawkins's lectures on the gradual persistent nature of evolution.

(Dawkins explains at excruciatingly slow pace and needless repetition how natural selection is based on the process on gradual cumulative selection where the seemingly astronomically improbable designs in life has arisen. This is a very important and correct defense of Darwinism against deliberate modern-day scientific folly and distortion such as creationism. It is most unfortunate that Dawkins uses at least three times more pages than is necessary in endless repetition of the same theme. In that sense, while scientifically very sound, the book is badly written from the point of reader friendliness. Dawkins, no doubt is lucid, but his writing style in this book cannot help being a tedious and boring overkill of repetition. Fortunately his other books, which I have read, are not quite as bad in this respect even of the same problem occurs to an extent.)

(More guaranteed Dawkins's basically cold but absolutely solid reasoning about science and evolutionary biology. This time, however, with personal touches. One small, but interesting diversion in a single paragraph is that professor Dawkins does not consider economics an academic deductive science. So even a respected, rational scientist can display amazing ignorance and scientific prejudice. I diametrically disagree with him on that one point.)

The arguments as such are well-founded and thoroughly argued. However, in literary terms the book is written outright boringly. The author has been unable to decide whether he is writing a treatise or popularized science. Consequently, it does well on neither. He has missed a really golden opportunity on an extremely important subject to have a say that would reach a wide audience.)

Hellman, Hal (1998). Great Feuds in Science. Ten of the Liveliest Disputes Ever. 240. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, Chichester, etc. (As the title says. A review of the greatest disputes starting from the days of Galileo. Looks into the disputes, their frameworks, and into the personal histories of the persons involved. Much of the subject matter of the book should be familiar to any professional scientist, but the personal histories and the tales of the other actors involved has many interesting less known nuances. It shows how the gravest of the disputes involve religion, power and even modern day ignorance and intolerance such as the cases of Galileo versus the Catholic church, and Darwin versus his contemporaries and later versus all kinds of religious fundamentalists, especially in the United States education. Some feuds are over precedence of ideas as in the case of Newton versus Leibniz concerning calculus. Some are about the difficulty of accepting revolutionary new explanations, as in the case of Wegener and the plate tectonics driving the continental drift. Many are basically over differing philosophical viewpoints. Some are over interpretation of sociological observations as in the case of Mead versus Freeman. The scientific level of the book is kept at a fairly popular level, and is not always very strong on that aspect. But altogether, it makes very interesting reading in its story telling role.)

Horgan, John (1996). The End of Science. Facing the Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age. 322. Broadway Books. (A book by an award-winning senior science writer at Scientific American on a crucial subject. Has basic science reached its limits with all the most important discoveries already made [Newtonian mechanics, Darwinism, relativity, DNA structure, etc.] The book considers the current situation in many fields, including philosophy, physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, social sciences, and chaos and complexity research with interviews from world's leading scientists in each field. Is science facing an unprecedented and irrevocable change? Is it now a time for a golden era of applied research and technology? The answer seems to be a qualified yes. While this is a very well-written and thought-provoking book, it gives perhaps a disproportionate emphasis to border-line and even charlatan philosophies in various disciplines. But on the other hand resorting to maverick science is a sign of the present-day difficulties of making genuine scientific contributions. ... It is clear that Mr. Horgan is a very good science writer who has had access to an impressive number of world's top and other scholars in the major fields. Considering this, his attitude towards his subjects is strange. While interpreting often brilliantly lucidly their thoughts, Horgan is conspicuously unfriendly towards his subjects. True, scientists can be strange as persons, but Horgan's descriptions of his interviewees as persons becomes more and more obnoxious and insulting. A subliminal inferiority complex? The book is too long. After the promising first half the author gradually loses it towards to the end by imagining himself the hero of the scene. The afterword of the book reveals a crushing critique towards the earlier edition. This does not come as a surprise. Despite these partly critical comments it also must be said that the language usage of the book is exemplary.)

A somewhat dryish, but yet interesting book on the biology and structure of trees as living organisms. Emphasizes the versatility and dominant nature of of trees and their ability to use and store solar energy. The writing is characterized by the author's obvious enthusiasm about his subject, the wood. Definitely worth reading for elaborating one's general knowledge in this subject area, historically very important to the economy of Finland. The treatment is oriented towards a listing of technical facts and details. A more problem and research oriented approach would probably have had made the book more interesting and usefully educational.)

This section stresses that these two can be reconciled, and constantly repeats the theme without truly managing to make progress beyond a (sound) personal conviction. The second section looks into the role of dreaming in a framework of satisfaction of basic needs. The third section, while short, is absolutely the best in the book. It is an incisive analysis of the psychological dimension of the environmental problems of mankind.)

Very instructive about the importance of evidence in the field, and in any discipline at that. Looks at the broad outlines of its subject. On the geologic side the plate tectonics have a crucial role. On the paleontological side the great extinctions at the geologic time boundaries feature dominantly.

It is much less a discussion about science than a personal discussion about the various facets of religion. Even with that slight imbalance it is exceptionally important and well-written book, certainly to be recommended to religious and non-religious alike.)

(This is poignantly Darwinian and a realistically atheistic account of the long history of DNA and the consequent status of life on our planet. If there is one book that can best convey the background of our existence, this is it! The book comes uncomfortably close to being a rational scientist's bible.)
Sagan, Carl (1994). Pale Blue Dot. A Vision of the Human Future in Space. 429. Random House, New York. (A tour of the solar system research from the number one planetary scientist. Strongly extols the necessity of human colonization of space and the continuation of funding for SETI to the point of disturbing the flow of the text. A reminder of today's species-threatening environmental and technological hazards. It is an interesting book in its inside knowledge of planetary science and the robotic missions. Also, there is a very important embedded lesson to be learned from the book for case research. It demonstrates how much the knowledge of the Earth's climate system models have gained from studying the climate systems of Venus and Mars. That is from being able to compare the original case with other instances. The one-case advocates would do well to pay careful attention to the crucial addition of knowledge brought in by the comparisons.)
Sagan, Carl (1995). The Demon-Haunted World. Science as a Candle in the Dark. 457. Random House, New York. (The late professor Sagan writes at considerable length of the folly of various superstitions ranging from the middle-ages witch-hunts to the UFO and alien abductors loonies and other new age religions of today. Unfortunately he unnecessarily drags on for hundreds of pages with detailed accounts of these various superstitions. The crucial points could have been amply made in a fourth of the space used. But it still is an important book with its solid, scientific views. One of the highlights of the book is Sagan's baloney detection kit in the chapter called "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection". In his book professor Sagan is very critical of the American education system and its failures in science teaching. At the end of the book he turns more to politics with an emotional and unqualified support of the U.S. first amendment.)
Sagan, Carl (1998). Billions and Billions. Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium. 246. Headline. (The last book from the late professor Sagan. It is a strong, but also a somewhat repetitive collection of semi-political essays with an emphasis on the environmental problems and the nuclear arms race and disarmament. The political agenda is a realistically green one. The book also contains a poignant personal account of professor Sagan's terminal illness.)
Savolainen, Veli-Antti & Himanen, Pekka (1995). Kohtaamis- yhteiskunta. Kirja mahdollisuudesta. 189. Oy Edita Ab, Helsinki. (An interesting analysis of the computer communications revolution. The next historical step of the modern society on this way from first the agricultural revolution, then the industrial revolution and now the communications revolution. Much emphasis on considering the best survival stragegy for the Finnish economy in the coming transition to the Global Electronic Village. In particular, a remote univerisity like the University of Vaasa simply cannot afford to ignore this development if it does not wish to fade into an abject obscurity.)

It shows how very difficult it is to write popularized scientific information in an interesting manner. The book is too much a dullish parade of a huge amount of geology terminology. It totally fails to convey any excitement of scientific research and principles. What little interest it has comes for local (Finnish) the understanding of the central role of the ice ages in forming Finland's landscape. There are some details and anecdotes on Finnish nature that just save the book so that a Finn can wade through it. Compare the book with Macdougal, J.D. (1996) and there you'll see a well-written, thoroughly interesting approach in the same area.)

A popularized, but a very thorough, at places even a repetitive presentation. Yet highly recommended for any serious layman on subject.)
Taylor, F.W. (2001). The Cambridge Photographic Guide to the Planets. 305. Cambridge University Press. (Although there is a photographic section after each of chapter, he title may give a misleadingly modest of an impression of the main subject matter of this book. Above all it is a thorough popularized presentation of the meteorology, geology, formation history, and chemical composition presentation of the nine planets of the solar system. Contrary to many modern books on the solar system planets it mostly skips the details of the space flight history. This is a good choice to avoid too much diversion from the main emphasis chosen. The writing style is a bit dry being maybe even too factual and list-like. But for anyone with deeper interest in the present state of knowledge about the facts of the planets, Taylor presents a compelling work. In this sense the book is factual readings at it best for a layman specialist.)

Tudge, Colin (1996). The time before history: 5 million years of human impact. Scribner, New York, London, Toronto, Sydney, Singapore. 366. (Definitely the book for anyone who wishes to understand how and why we came about as a species. An excellent account of the modern view into the nature of evolution and of the evolutionary history leading to the ascent of man, Homo Sapiens. Emphasizes the effect of the change in the environmental factors as the driving force in what otherwise would become of evolutionary status quo. By far the best no-nonsense account of our ancestry that I have read. Mostly well written with the exception of at places assuming too much advance knowledge from the reader on the classifications of the species categories. The writer occasionally gets too technical with his nouns forgetting that he is writing for the general audience. Considers alternative theories in an interesting matter with relationship to the nature of the available evidence on the human development. Also has some interesting and inventive speculations. Explains in a sensible manner why the human species is unparalleled in its generalist versatility and adaptability. Concludes with almost the compulsory speculation into the future of man and the other species.)
Valste, Juha (2004). Apinasta ihmiseksi. Dark Oy, Vantaa 2004. 343 pages. ("From ape to man". On the evolution and archeology research on the development of man as one of the hominid species. An interesting subject and analysis. However, the book simply is too long. There is an overabundance of boring verbal listings of the excavation sites. The human interest and the stories are too scarce. The conclusions are drawn towards the end of the book and they are fine. The author should have concentrated on that and not linger so much on the unessential and uninteresting excavation recitals. I suspect that it has been too tempting to fill the pages with them as easy way of bloating of book.)

(A Finnish award-winning collection of essays, and for good reason. The main theme is astrobiology, but covers the universe around us and the origins of life also in a more general fashion. Tangents culture, sociology and presents a good critique of the unhealthy phenomenon of pseudo-sciences. Slightly, but not overly repetitive towards the end. Written in a truly enjoyable style showing that good science writing need not be dull.)

(A collection of essays in philosophy on the joys of doing scientific research. Most of the essays are a lucid and give an interesting view into the approach of this discipline. The best and longest essay is by Raimo Lehti into the mathematical logic, philosophy and life of Bertrand Russel and Johannes Kepler. A pleasant surprise is the cogent essay by Simo Knuuttila into the joys of theological research. The biggest disappointment is the essay by the hugely popular domestic celebrity Esa Saarinen. I must confess to a limited understanding of the finer points of philosophy, but I detected little but idle ramblings, haphazard quoting and name dropping with no rigid logic nor analytic structure.)

(The inside story of the unravelling of the structure of DNA which is the key to the genetic code. This finding is the basis of modern molecular biology, one of the fastest developing and often a morally controversial discipline. It also is a story of two different approaches to science, one of brilliant intuition and one of patient investigation which led to the Nobel prices in 1962 to Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick and James Watson.

Wright, Robert (1994). The Moral Animal. Why we are the way we are: The new science of evolutionary psychology. 466. Vintage Books, New York. (This extraordinary book answers the most crucial question of human behavior, i.e. why do we behave the way we do. The basic model itself is strikingly simple underneath. An individual is guided by emotions towards he kind of behavior that increases the propagation of a species' genes, because such emotions and strives get selected in the evolution. The central areas where this principle comes to the fore are human sexual behavior, kin selection, reciprocal altruism (i.e. the rationale for mutual favors), and the strive for social status. It is almost scary to realize how much of what one can observe around oneself even in one's everyday life in broad terms fits neatly into the explanation pattern. - The book covers the subject very thoroughly. One could even say that at times the text drags on. Much additional text arises from the author's choice to intervene the general principles with an extensive case study of the life of one individual, Charles Darwin, i.e. the originator himself of understanding evolution. Despite of the slow pace at which the author proceeds, the book is well written and highly interesting throughout. You will not look at the behavior of yourself or your fellow men quite the same way after reading these theories of the relatively young science of evolutionary psychology. A truly good piece of serious, popularized science. - Towards the end in one of the chapters the book loses some of its grip, though. Behavior is not as predestined as lead to believe, and the discussion on ethics deviates into subjective fumbling. But the final chapter on the origins of religion returns to the scientifically detached treatment of the subject.)
Wynn, Charles M. and Arthur W. Wiggins (2001). Quantum leaps in the wrong direction: where real science ends and pseudoscience begins. 226. Joseph Henry Press, Washington D.C. (A lucid and a fairly easy-to-understand presentation of how scientific knowledge gained and evaluated. A book that can be recommended as introductory science readings to graduate students of any discipline. Furthermore, the book uses the understanding and principles of the scientific process to explain how pseudosciences go wrong both in their methodology and usage of empirical data. At a few places the choice of the terms used to describe the scientific process could be debated, but most importantly the description of the process and its usage to expose pseudoscientific subterfuge is very sound and instructive.)
Yenne, Bill (1991). Solar System. 78. Bison Books Ltd. (A rather standard, modern presentation of the solar system facts with some stunning photographs.)
Youngson, Robert M. (1998). Scientific Blunders; A brief history of how wrong scientists can sometimes be... 338. Robinson, London. (The concept is highly promising. And the book is well written. But it does not live quite accurately up to its promise of describing blunders within science. Yes, it does also that, but more than anything it is about the schism between science and pseudoscience, between knowledge and ignorance, between verifiable observations and orthodox authority. As it is, the book is very educational and useful in understanding science, but it indeed its emphasis is slightly different than what its excellent title portrays. It is yet another, very good book in the series about the problems with human frailty and outright, deliberate intellectual dishonesty in trying to impose one's own, unfounded preconceptions on others. The wide range of the areas covered warrants a positive note, ranging from the much covered cosmology, evolution, physics, biology, and science versus religion to the less frequently covered mathematics, medicine, technology and psychology, and philosophy blunders.)
Zimmerman, Barry E. and Zimmerman, David J. (1993). Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light ... and Other Explorations in Nature's Curiosity Shop. 309. Contemporary Books, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. (The first of the two books of light science essays by the Zimmerman twins. Contains 31 essays in various fields. Some of the essays are really interesting and well written like the one of Isaac Newton. But the quality of this first collection is uneven being at worst naive and outright misleading. The two worst essays are on UFOs and reincarnation. No self-respecting scientist would write such rubbish. But on the average the book by the Zimmermans makes entertaining and at the same time educational reading. Definitely worth reading but for the two awful flops.)
Zimmerman, Barry E. and Zimmerman, David J. (1995). Natures Curiosity Shop: Explorations in the mysteries and wonders of science. 340. Contemporary Books, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. (A lucidly written collection of 14 essays by twin brothers. Biology, medicine, physics and astronomy are visited. The level is a well-chosen compromise between scientific rigor and entertaining writing with some interesting speculations and occasional witticisms. As good popularized science writing as anyone's. The only essay I did not like was the one on alternative medicine because in it the writers partly deviated from their otherwise serious analysis into the realm of mild but conspicuous personal indulgence in modern superstition. A detail. The summary heaping economics among pseudosciences shows grave unfamiliarity by the author with the discipline in question.)

John Kerry's Katrina Aid Arrives Late
Billionaire Democratic Sen. John Kerry has finally sent his own aid package to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans more than two weeks after the storm hit - and a week after most of the city had been successfully evacuated by the Bush administration.
Kerry traveled to New Orleans on Monday aboard a UPS Boeing 757 loaded with 5,000 bottles of baby formula, 5,000 pairs of sneakers and an array of cleaning supplies, the Associated Press said.
Story Continues Below
"Everything that any of us can do is so welcome, and it provides just a little bit of help at an extraordinary time," the Massachusetts Democrat told the AP.
But rather than pay for the aid using his wife's ketchup fortune - which the Los Angeles Times estimated last year at over a billion dollars - Kerry's aid package was donated by Boston's Children's Hospital, the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans and the New Balance sneaker company.
UPS donated the plane, the flight crew and fuel, trucks and drivers to transport the goods to Logan International Airport and then to disperse them to Baton Rogue and Lafayette, La.
It's not clear what, if anything, Sen. Kerry paid for.
Talk about "white trash"
Do you personally know anyone or even know of anyone in the United States who has ever taken part in a "poll".
The poll I really favor was the exit poll from the last michael moore movie in which those who were polled viewed it "favorably".The untold millions who stayed away from the movie were never polled.
Do the best you can with the honesty involved.
It's just so predictable
Bushies look at facts and see them as lies Whsover criticizes them is a liberal.
Well with Bush's approval at 40%, 60% must be liars and liberals.
truniptruck drive writes, "Please give us ALL of the facts about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction."
1. Prior to the war EVERY major intelligency agency in teh WORLD thought Saddam had them.
2. Saddam refused to allow open access to his country to prove that he didn't have them.
3. There is hard proof that Saddam used chemical WMD against Iran and the Kurds.
4. The corrupt oil for food program was allowing Saddam access to cash with which he was shopping for weapons.
5. Saddam had had a nuclear weapons program in the 1990s. Although it was disbanned, the equipment to start it up again was moth balled and avaialbe in the country.
6. The world is safer and better off without Saddam.
Why bring this up again?
So we did the right thing (remove Saddam) and one of the many reasons was in error (WMD).
This is only a big deal to the Bush bashers.
Please give us ALL of the facts about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.
There you go again, printing facts with no political bias to back them up.
I can only assume he is bitter about how the country has turned away from his party's culture of dependence, flawed ideals and the myriad of failed policies of the Democratic Party.
Let's review.
1. No bid cost plus contracts are the only method available to provide the immediate relief that Wrife and his liberal friends complained the government wasn't providing 24 hours after the hurricane passed.
2. There are only about a dozen companies in the country that provide the services in the time frames required. Obviously done of these companies are run by liberals, since growth requires risk and deliberative actions, not hand wringing and complaining.
3. The fact that New Orleans could not survive a Category 5 hurricane has been known for decades. The state and city democratic machnine run governments routinely funneled Corp of Engineers money to pet projects that had nothing to do with protecting the city but a lot to do with enriching their croonies and themselves. Least we forget the previous democratic governor did time for this very reason. Is it any wonder after decades of waste and mismanagment the federal government refused to send more money down the corrupt rat hole that is Louisiana politics?
4. The major break in the levee occurred in an area that had JUST BEEN RENOVATED. Water poured over through small leaks in the levee and washed out the footings behind the levee. With failing support, the lake pushed a section of the levee out of place and water poured around it washing out sections on either side.
There is a city run group that is tasked with monitoring these small leaks before the result in breaches of the levee and the domino effect discribed above. These dedicated civil servants were one of the first to leave the city and did not return till well after it was too late. Apparently the Mayor didn't have a plan to monitor the levees. I have written about this before, but Wrife opts to ignore it. I wonder why?
5. Union membership in Louisiana is less than 10%. Mostly the work these union construction companies do is through their corrupt Democratic machine based croonies on government projects.
Davis Bacon defines the "prevailing labor rate" to be the published union rates for an area, which is obviously untrue in an area with a 90% non union labor force. The government pays about 20% more than the average wage in the area, which leads to MASSIVE corruption.
For example, you will work for $15/hour. I hire you for $20/hour under Davis Bacon, but you kick back $3/hour to me under the table. I give the politicians $1.50 per hour to hire my shoody company and everyone is happy. Execpt the tax payer who pays premium prices for shoody work.
Why does Davis Bacon exist at all? Obviously it is a sweat heart deal that the Democrats passed for their corrupt union buddies decades ago. How much money could have been saved if it never existed. IMHO, the unions are very fearful that it will be repealed with a successful demonstration of just how silly it is in New Orleans and the Gulf.
Why not discuss the facts instead of mindlessly ranting, Wrife? Could it be the facts are against you? LOL
Ahhh, okay now I have you located better. I did live between 12th and 14th, so I was on the other side of 12th. On my block there were no houses. There were all these huge apartment buildings all the way over to 14th on both sides of the street. On my block it was people on top of people and it was a mixture of the good the bad and the ugly that moved into them. The nasty ones influenced the rest of us to a point.
I was lucky when it came to an altercation with a black over money. One morning in wood shop a black saw my money and said he wanted it after school. I had two freinds that left school with me that were black. They guaranteed that he would be the only one I would have to face. As it turned out, nothing happened in the end. I walked right up to him with a smile. I told him I had no money for him, that I lost it flipin nickels, but my hand was in my back pocket and he knew what was there. I did two things. I gave him an out and a chance to save face by saying I was broke. The other thing was to let him know we could both get hurt bad if he pushed it. After that, noone that knew me asked me for my money. My thought was, why pick on me when there is easier pickins around. Another thing I learned there. They see loosing your cool as a sign of weakness. To look em in the eye with a smile on your face drives em nutz....:-)
It's a funny thing. You moved out when you were 12 and I moved in when I was 12. I went through the 7th grade and 2 semesters into the 8th grade before we moved out of that hell hole.
Rat, name the ones you consider worthless???
I want to get a shortie perspective on it.
Robert, I think Blane was one block east of Gladstone.
Maybe it was the flies that made those pickles so great. They were a nickel each and were so big it took a half hour to eat them. When I was about 8 or 9, My buddies and I would go into the grocery store (sawdust on the floors) hand the owner our nickel and with totally dirty hands and arms, take one arm, reach way into the barrel, swish around for a while squeezing different pickles for a big one with the right feel, pull it out and with our arms still dripping, start nibble a way as if it was ice cream cone, as we strolled down 12th street.
You lived near the Astor Theater. 9 cents admission for 2 full length movies.
"Ivan Boesky, the son of a Russian immigrant who became a top Detroit restaurateur,landing on Wall Street in 1966 as a stock analyst. Boesky start his own arbitrage firm in 1975. By the mid-Eighties, he was worth an estimated $200 million. Boesky's specialty was trading stock in companies targeted for takeover. On November 14, 1986 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Boesky with illegal stock manipulation based on insider information." His fathers 1st delicatessen was on 12th st., a few small blocks away. Just before dark, When I was about 10, a few buddies and I would go up to the deli roof by a back stairway (or it could have been a fire escape) with water balloons in hand and drop them near people as they were walking in. Then run like hell, laughing as hard as we could. For some reason we thought that was the funniest thing in the world. In 1967 I went to work for a Beverly Hills stock broker as a registered rep., they were about the 5th largest at the time. In my case, I left in about 1972 with about a $20,000 net worth. What can I say, It's a small world.
I lived about 70 feet away from Hutchines and played on their monkey bars when I was six. Baseball, football etc when I was a few years older. I played there almost every day until I moved away when I was about 12 in the 7th grade. So I only attended school there for about 1 semester and that was probably 1954. I never heard of that stabbing in school but I knew I had to spent my whole 20 cent lunch money or hide it in my socks before I left the school. There were 30 guy outside asking mr to lend them a nickel or give them a nickel. Even though they all heard you answer the first guy, they would ask you the same question and you would have to tell 30 guys in a row, you had spent all your money at lunch and pull your front pockets inside out.
As a paper delivery boy at 11, I had to collect the money from my customers each week, I was lucky I never had any trouble. Didn't carry a knife but I had to learn Ebonics. I got into one fight when I was in about the 4th grade with the smallest black kid in the school. I couldn't kick his ass because if I did I would have to fight 60 other black kids around me. So I made sure the fight ended in a draw. By the time we moved away, I also hated the neighborhood. Except for the last few years we lived there, I've got a lot great memories and stories.
BTW, in the early fifties, was it reverend Jones that use to wear a mink coat?
