Article:Thoughts from Championship Sunday
12,191pages onAdd New Page

- By far the most irritating thing going into Sunday's championship games were the endless stories about the cold gametime temperatures expected in Foxboro and Green Bay. On Saturday evening, a story on the home page of CNN/SI hollered: "Giants/Pack Unlikely to be Coldest Game Ever." A mere ten hours later: "Giants/Pack Getting Set to Play in Frigid Lambeau." Are you serious? Nobody can come up with something better than these trite articles. Absolutely, weather was a factor in the games yesterday but the week long brouhaha was completely overblown. With that said, it's with an impending sense of doom that I mentally prepare for two weeks of God-awful reporting on the Super Bowl. Thinking back on it, Hunter S. Thompson's The Great Shark Hunt includes a piece about his covering of the Super Bowl back in the early 70s. Even then, sports reporters had nothing to do in the week(s) leading up to the Super Bowl. Thompson's tales is laugh out loud funny.
- The roughing-the-passer call against Green Bay in the third quarter was exactly what that penalty used to be before the phrases "blow to the head" and "hit below the knee" entered the fray. Ten years ago, roughing-the-passer was a hit on the quarterback well after he had released the ball. It was such a foreign experience to see a legitimate roughing-the-passer call that confusion reigned. Fans at Lambeau Field were understandably furious with the call and Fox showed the play several times, with Troy Aikman and Joe Buck debating the penalty. I swear Joe Buck was thinking: "Wait a second, they didn't touch his head. Is that still a penalty?"
- Peter King wrote in his Monday Morning Quarterback that he believes the early line of 13 in favor of the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII is ridiculously high and he sees it coming down. I said this following the Giants win, I think this Super Bowl will have one of the largest spreads in the forty-two year history of the event. I am not sure it will reach the epic number of 18 that the 49ers were giving the Chargers in 1995 but 15 or so seems reasonable. Though, the Patriots inability to cover the spread in the last five weeks might give me pause.
- What sweet redemption for Lawrence Tynes to hit the game-winning 47 yard field goal after missing a pair of short ones in the fourth quarter. Sometimes, it's a bit easier to hit the one nobody expects you to make, isn't it Lawrence?
- I really didn't care for all the shots of the Manning family watching in the skybox on Sunday high above Lambeau Field. And thinking on it, the Mannings are rather spoiled. Peyton wins a Super Bowl last year, Eli silences his doubters in New York by taking the G-men to a Super Bowl (in which they are soundly defeated). All around, not a bad twelve months for that clan. The family patriarch, Archie is probably wondering what it's like to play for a Super Bowl bound team after all those years suffering for the Saints. We should call them the Manning clan, they're from the South and the extended family seems to travel as a singular unit.
- As for the Chargers and Patriots, that game was decided in the red zone where the Chargers boosted Nate Kaeding's confidence by settling for chip shot field goals instead of touchdowns. That's obvious, but I want to take a look at the biggest play of the game in my opinion. Midway third quarter, the Chargers are driving after a stunning second interception of Tom Brady. Third-and-one from the Patriots 5. A touchdown vaults San Diego into the lead. Chargers line up heavy, allowing the Patriots to crowd the line of scrimmage. San Diego's RB Michael Turner gets it going off tackle left but penetration forces him further outside. DONE. He loses a yard and the Chargers are forced to settle for 3 in lieu of 4 th and a long two. Why not run between the tackles? At worst, a run up the middle virtually assures you a doable fourth-and-one. Instead of a shocking two point lead midway through the third quarter, the Chargers still trail and the tone of the game remains the same: the Patriots are still in control.

Hey as the title says just want someone to critique me and point out areas I can improve at. I'm relatively new to reading logs so I don't quite know where to dig up all the info or what I'm looking at sometimes.
By molodirazz
All applications will be reviewed and considered however if you are playing a class/spec combination we need then your chances of joining will be higher.
A little bit of info about us:
We are a group of friends and serious raiders on EU Twisting Nether looking to recruit skilled like-minded players into our roster for Mythic Legion raids and onwards.

- Be able to speak and understand the English language and not be afraid to communicate with other members during raids.
- Actively doing dungeons/world quests to improve your gear and artifact weapon.

Hello. This is my first time posting here. I'd like to ask for yer advice on what should I aim to do with my Fire mage, and how do I enhance my performance with it, specially on single target dps.
I believe my problem are my current secondary stats/equipment, my legendary choices and my trinkets, in that order of priority. I'd love to hear your input on any or all of these aspects and see how could I improve.
1) My current stats are 38% crit (turns into 53% base), 20% haste, and 12% mastery. From what I understand, Mastery should be over Haste. I also have a 2-set from Nighthold (I also have the gear for a 4-set but I think the 4-set bonus isn't worth the enormous loss on ilvl). Is this reasoning correct to you? What do you think I should aim to get next to better improve my toon? I do already have a Back piece that would take my 2-set bonus away but is a 15% upgrade (Pawn), 20 ilvls above the current back.
2) I've got 6 legendaries: Belo'vir's Last Stand (Chest), Marquee Bindings of the Sun King (Wrists), Pyrotex Ignition Cloth (Hands), Norgannon's Foresight (Feet), Sephuz's Secret (Ring) and Kil'jaeden's Burning Wish (Trinket). I usually use the gloves and ring for AoE situations, and gloves and trinket for single target. My most recent legendary are the wrists, and I have to assume it'll drastically improve my single target dps, but I actually see my numbers go down rather than up, at least when practicing with dummy targets.
These is my "replacement" gear for each part as of now, if it helps:
Chest - 875 Vers/Mast NH set or 910 Vers/Crit
Wrists - 905 Crit/Vers
Hands - 890 Crit/Haste
Feet - 890 Mast/Haste
Ring - 900 Vers/Mast
Trinket - 895 Star Gate, 895 Deteriorated Construct Core, 890 Icon of Rot, 885 Whispers in the Dark.
3) My main trinkets are made for AoE, having Whispers of the Dark for a potential increase in single target dps, and legendary trinket. What other trinkets should I strive to get for better performance there? Any suggestions?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and help me. I'll truly appreciate any advice.

Barbara Hall, a former mayor of Toronto, is chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
Have you ever played hockey?
I haven't.
Why not? You're Canadian.
Yes, I'm a Canadian and I like to skate. This time last year, I had a broken wrist from skating. Girls didn't play hockey when I lived in Ottawa and Halifax. The boys at the local school played hockey and the girls didn't. I got stuck into girl's roles and played just about every other sport.
Were any of them contact sports?
Grass hockey can be pretty brutal.
Do you watch hockey?
Mostly during the playoffs and international. One of the reasons I don't watch the regular season very often is I don't like the fighting. I'm not someone who enjoys watching people being beaten up.
Have you ever had your bell rung? (Are you familiar with that expression?)
It means knocked silly; concussed, probably.
The last few years running or doing long-distance bike rides, I've had accidents, but my head never made contact.
Should contact to the head in hockey, intentional or not, be banned?
I think you work to eliminate the deliberate. I'd think that any organized sport would have in place rules that would protect its players from hits that would affect their ability to live in a full way for the rest of their life.
The NHL has a zero-tolerance policy for stick fouls to the head and face. Accidental or not, they incur a major penalty. Should that thinking be applied to head contact?
I would want to see a strong response to deliberate. I have this image of an old car seat in front of a gas station in Three Mile Plains, N.S., where I lived for a few years. A bunch of guys used to sit on that seat every day, still wearing their hockey jackets from decades before and something seemed missing from them ever after. They were unable to work and do all kinds of other things.
I'm sure no one has assessed that as a result of concussion in hockey, but I bet a lot them were. The players and the leagues and teams should be putting in place rules to eliminate deliberate hits on heads.
The NHL's current system of sanctions for head shots is inconsistent. Suspensions can be for two games, three games, eight games. Should the punishment fit the crime? If a player's head shot causes an opponent to miss 40 games, should the suspension be for the same duration?
That's a bit like saying do you support capital punishment, which I don't. Penalties need to reflect the seriousness and have a deterrent component. Three games, to me, wouldn't reflect the seriousness or have a significant deterrent.
The NHL's premier player and best marketing tool, Sidney Crosby, is sidelined with a concussion. That seems to have caught the NHL's attention more than anything, yet they're still reticent to act on the issue.
It sounds like they're collectively suffering a brain injury.
The number of concussions is rising; the players are bigger and the game is faster, certainly, but another factor suspected is a general lack of respect in hockey - and in society. Would you agree?
A friend with a young child recently talked about his little boy playing hockey in the street. He was young and the father, watching, couldn't figure out what was happening. He was playing by himself. He had a stick and a net and a puck. Every couple of minutes, he would throw his gloves on the ground and just stand there. His father asked him, finally, what he was doing. He said it was the fight time.
Should the NHL go so far as to take hitting out of the game, period? Women's hockey at the Olympics, which had no checking, focused on speed, talent and athleticism. It was a pleasure to watch.
That would certainly deal with a lot of my personal concerns. I have never watched one of those elite international games and, at the end, said: "Oh, damn, there was no hitting, no fights."
Infamously, hockey commentator Mike Milbury saw any banning of fights or toughness as a "pansification" of the game. Do you see it weakening the game?
I'd see it as strengthening the game.
There are all kinds of sports that were rough, tough and the cause of death and injury. When you see Muhammad Ali, shots of him then and now, you think that's too high a price for people to pay to give entertainment to others.Report Typo/Error

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, breathtaking changes in technology are posing stark challenges to our constitutional values. From free speech to privacy, from liberty and personal autonomy to the right against self-incrimination, basic constitutional principles are under stress from technological advances unimaginable even a few decades ago, let alone during the founding era. In this provocative collection, America's leading scholars of technology, law, and ethics imagine how to translate and preserve constitutional and legal values at a time of dizzying technological change.
"e;Constitution 3.0"e; explores some of the most urgent constitutional questions of the near future. Will privacy become obsolete, for example, in a world where ubiquitous surveillance is becoming the norm? Imagine that Facebook and Google post live feeds from public and private surveillance cameras, allowing 24/7 tracking of any citizen in the world. How can we protect free speech now that Facebook and Google have more power than any king, president, or Supreme Court justice to decide who can speak and who can be heard? How will advanced brain-scan technology affect the constitutional right against self-incrimination? And on a more elemental level, should people have the right to manipulate their genes and design their own babies? Should we be allowed to patent new forms of life that seem virtually human? The constitutional challenges posed by technological progress are wide-ranging, with potential impacts on nearly every aspect of life in America and around the world.

OSHA emphasizes importance of acclimatization in protecting outdoor workers from heat illness
The Department of Labor and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have teamed up again to prevent heat-related deaths and illnesses. Heat-related injuries and fatalities in outdoor workers continue with record-breaking heat waves over the last three summers. In 2012 alone, at least 31 workers died of heat related illness and 4,120 more were made sick.
In a June 19, 2014 call with meteorologists and weather reporters across the country, Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels and NOAA's Deputy Undersecretary Vice Admiral Michael S. Devany discussed the dangers.
"Every year, dozens of workers are killed by heat, and thousands more experience heat-related illnesses," said Michaels. "We have found that the workers who are most at risk for heat-related illnesses are those who are new to outdoor jobs – especially temporary workers – or those that have returned from more than a week away. Workers are particularly at risk if the weather has just gotten hot, and they have not been acclimatized to the heat."
Seasonal workers can be considered new even if they have been working every season for several years. Gradually increasing the workload and giving workers time to acclimate allows them to build tolerance to the heat. This is critically important for workers who are new to working outdoors in the heat, who have been away from working in the heat for a week or more, or at the beginning of a heat wave. Visit OSHA's Heat Illness Prevention page for more information and to get OSHA's free Heat Safety Tool smartphone app, which has been downloaded more than 138,000 time to date. To order quantities of OSHA's heat illness educational materials in English or Spanish, call OSHA's Office of Communications at (202) 693-1999.
Heart Attack Signs
Fast action is your best weapon against a heart attack. Why? Because
Clot-busting drugs and other artery-opening treatments can prevent or
limit damage to the heart – but they need to be given immediately after symptoms begin. The sooner they are started, the more good they will do and the greater the chances are for survival and a full recovery.
Know the signs
Pay attention to these common heart attack warning signs:
Chest discomfort
Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body
This may be felt in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath
This often occurs with or before chest discomfort.
Other signs
Other signs may include:
Ø Breaking out in cold sweat
Ø Nausea
Ø Lightheadedness
Call 9-1-1 immediately if you have symptoms!
If you or someone you are with begins to have chest discomfort, especially with one or more symptoms of a heart attack, CALL 9-1-1 right away. Don't wait!
If you are having symptoms and cannot call 9-1-1 have someone else call for you.
Do not drive to any fire station as the firefighters may be out on calls and there may be no one there to help you. Never drive yourself to the hospital unless you have absolutely no other choice.

HEAT ILLNESS CAN BE DEADLY. Every year, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat, and some even die. These illnesses and deaths are preventable.
OSHA's nationwide Heat Illness Prevention Campaign aims to raise awareness and teach workers and employers about the dangers of working in hot weather and provide valuable resources to address these concerns. Begun in 2011, the Heat Illness Prevention Campaign has reached more than 7 million people and distributed close to half a million fact sheets, posters, quick cards, training guides and wallet cards. OSHA is again joining with other federal and state agencies and non-governmental organizations to spread the word about preventing heat illness. For example, OSHA is continuing its partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service to include worker safety precautions in their Excessive Heat Watch, Warning, and Advisory Products.
Available on this web page are numerous resources that can be used to prevent heat illnesses:
The Heat Illness web page and many resources are available en español.
We hope you will join with us in this effort by helping to reach workers and employers in your community with the resources you will find on this site.
Who is affected? Workers exposed to hot and humid conditions are at risk of heat illness, especially those doing heavy work tasks or using bulky protective clothing and equipment. Some workers might be at greater risk than others if they have not built up a tolerance to hot conditions.
What is heat illness? The body normally cools itself by sweating. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, sweating isn't enough. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if precautions are not taken. Heat illnesses range from heat rash and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke requires immediate medical attention and can result in death.
How can heat illness be prevented? Remember three simple words: water, rest, shade. Employers should educate their workers on how drinking water often, taking breaks, and limiting time in the heat can help prevent heat illness. They should include these prevention steps in worksite training and plans. Employers should also teach employees to gradually build up to heavy work in hot conditions because this helps you build tolerance to the heat - or become acclimated. They should take steps that help workers become acclimated, especially workers who are new to working outdoors in the heat or have been away from work for a week or more. Lastly, during the first week of work, employers should gradually increase workloads and allow more frequent breaks. You should plan for an emergency and know what to do - acting quickly can save lives!
FALLS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN CONSTRUCTION. In 2010, there were 264 fall fatalities (255 falls to lower level) out of 774 total fatalities in construction. These deaths are preventable.
Falls can be prevented and lives can be saved through three simple steps:
This website is part of OSHA's nationwide outreach campaign to raise awareness among workers and employers about the hazards of falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs. The educational resources page gives workers and employers information about falls and how to prevent them. There are also training tools for employers to use and posters to display at their worksites. Many of the new resources target vulnerable workers with limited English proficiency.
We invite you to join in this effort by helping to reach workers and employers in your community with the resources you find on this site. OSHA will continue to add information and tools to this page throughout the year.
OSHA has partnered with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) - Construction Sector on this nationwide outreach campaign to raise awareness among workers and employers about common fall hazards in construction, and how falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs can be prevented and lives can be saved. Here's how:
PLAN ahead to get the job done safely
When working from heights, such as ladders, scaffolds, and roofs, employers must plan projects to ensure that the job is done safely. Begin by deciding how the job will be done, what tasks will be involved, and what safety equipment may be needed to complete each task.
When estimating the cost of a job, employers should include safety equipment, and plan to have all the necessary equipment and tools available at the construction site. For example, in a roofing job, think about all of the different fall hazards, such as holes or skylights and leading edges, then plan and select fall protection suitable to that work, such as personal fall arrest systems (PFAS).
PROVIDE the right equipment
Workers who are six feet or more above lower levels are at risk for serious injury or death if they should fall. To protect these workers, employers must provide fall protection and the right equipment for the job, including the right kinds of ladders, scaffolds, and safety gear.
Different ladders and scaffolds are appropriate for different jobs. Always provide workers with the kind they need to get the job done safely. For roof work, there are many ways to prevent falls. If workers use personal fall arrest systems (PFAS), provide a harness for each worker who needs to tie off to the anchor. Make sure the PFAS fits, and regularly inspect all fall protection equipment to ensure it's still in good condition and safe to use.
TRAIN everyone to use the equipment safely
Falls can be prevented when workers understand proper set-up and safe use of equipment, so they need training on the specific equipment they will use to complete the job. Employers must train workers in hazard recognition and in the care and safe use ladders, scaffolds, fall protection systems, and other equipment they'll be using on the job.
OSHA has provided numerous materials and resources that employers can use during toolbox talks to train workers on safe practices to avoid falls in construction. Falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs can be prevented and lives can be saved through three simple steps: Plan, Provide and Train.

Passion Fruit
Passion Fruit & Christ's crucifixion
This tropical fruit is said to be named not for the passionate propensity it promotes but because particular parts of the plant's flowers resemble different symbols of Christ's crucifixion, such as the crown of thorns.
Though native to Brazil, passion fruit (also called granadilla ) is now also grown in Australia, California, Florida, Hawaii (where it's called lilikoi ) and New Zealand.
The most common variety marketed in the United States is egg-shaped and about 3 inches long. When ripe, it has a dimpled, deep-purple skin and a soft, golden flesh generously punctuated with tiny, edible black seeds. The flavor is sweet-tart and the fragrance tropical in nature.
Fresh passion fruit is available from March through September in Latin markets and some supermarkets. Choose large, heavy, firm fruit with a deep-purple color. Store ripe passion fruit in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Here is a great summer treat using passion fruit...
Passion Fruit Freeze Recipe
2 cups orange sherbet
1 cup low fat milk
3 passion fruit
Passion fruit can be served plain as a dessert or it can flavor a variety of foods like sauces, ice creams and beverages. Canned passion-fruit nectar is available in many supermarkets. Passion fruit contains a small amount of vitamins A and C.
Cut open 3 passion fruit and scoop pulp and seeds into the milk. Stir with a fork to extract the juice from the pulp. Strain into blender. Add the sherbet and blend for 15 seconds or just until all the sherbet is smooth. Pour the passion freeze into a tall, chilled glass. If available, place a sprig of mint on top and serve immediately.

Living Life As I See Fit
- So how does one keep up the fight? You take it one day at a time. You get up every morning hoping that today is better. You don't stay in bed and think hopeless thoughts. You live for today, you do what you can and you don't allow yourself to worry about things getting worse. Be thankful for all the things you have rather than what you don't have. Strive for the strength and courage to accept chronic illness with self-respect and humility. Take care of yourself and those who love you and support you. Enjoy the beauty of today and don't spend your days worrying about tomorrow. This is all you can do and this is all any of us can do. From Do I Ever Feel Sorry for Myself?

The Law of the Garbage TruckThe Law of the Garbage Truck Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You'll be happier. David J. Pollay

Anyone running aftermarket headers in Maryland?
Like the title says, im curious to see if anyone is running aftermarket header in Maryland. I just got mine and am debating what to do since the smog and emissions laws are so strick, in my county the inspection stations are very strict so I can't pay them off. My only option is to but aftermarket cats on which might fix (emphasis on might) the emission test but not the visual inspection.

PADDLING across the Tutong River, involvement in volunteer work and learning the traditional dance of the ethnic Tutong group were but some of the unique experiences that 17 scholarship undergraduates from overseas participated in yesterday as part of a five-day Overseas Brunei Darussalam Undergraduates' Civic Village Programme.
Back here for the holidays, the programme allowed the undergraduates – who are pursuing their study in New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia – to learn about the latest government affairs, national development and on how Brunei instils the national philosophy, MIB.
This is the first time the course is being held in the Tutong District, adopting the 'Back to Nature' concept.
Tutong District Officer Wardi bin Haji Mohammad Ali was on hand to greet the participants with a 'Selamat Sabi,' which is the district's way of saying 'welcome.'
He urged participants to open their hearts and minds in enjoying the programme, and to not view the course as a burden. He also reminded the overseas scholarship undergraduates they could assume the role of ambassadors in promoting Brunei to the world.
Later, Administrative Officer Khairul Shahrul bin Haji Duahim delivered a presentation on the developments in Tutong, following which a presentation on 'One Village, One Product' was delivered by Special Duties Officer Siti Joriahati binti Johari.
After the presentations, the participants visited the 'One Village, One Product' gallery, before observing the rich cultural dance of the ethnic people of Tutong.
The day also saw the group paddling a boat across the Tutong River and engaging in volunteer work at two homes of the underprivileged.

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Door Window Switch to fix your car or truck. Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to find trusted replacement parts for your Windstar.
In order to maintain a basic level of convenience, you have to be able to raise and lower your windows. If you have power windows, it would be your Ford Windstar door window switch that tells the regulator when to move the glass up and down. Power door windows and switches are standard now but first appeared on vehicles as a luxury option, and their influence was so powerful that even today your Ford Windstar has them. The door window switch operates like a three-pole switch that keeps the circuit open until it is switched closed on one side or the other, and can break after enough use or time.
Bring your Windstar back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Ford Windstar part for your project or repair.

Cold week ahead in area
Monday might feel downright balmy compared to the rest of the week.
The forecast from the National Weather Service in Duluth predicts high temperatures of 18 to 23 degrees Monday, with snow likely in the morning and scattered snow showers in the afternoon but with little accumulation.
Starting Monday night, low temperatures well below zero and high temperatures in the single digits look to grip the area through next weekend.
"We have a high pressure settling in so it'll be pretty chilly at night," said Greg Frosig, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Duluth. Frosig said past computer models actually called for colder temperatures this week.
The average high temperature in Brainerd for the week of Jan. 16-22 is 18 degrees. The average low temperature during that time is 8 degrees below zero.
Monday night, the clouds will decrease and the temperature will drop to 4 degrees below zero to 9 degrees below zero, with wind-chill readings 15 degrees below zero to 25 degrees below zero.
On Tuesday, high temperatures of 2 to 7 degrees are expected. However, 5 to 10 mph winds could result in wind-chill readings of 20 degrees below zero to 30 degrees below zero.
Wednesday through Thursday night, highs of 1 to 6 degrees are expected with low temps of 8 degrees below zero to 13 degrees below zero. On Friday, highs temps are expected to be 4 to 9 degrees and low temps of 4 degrees below zero to 9 degrees below zero are possible Friday night.
For Saturday's Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza, high temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees are expected. Lows Saturday night are forecast to be 3 degrees below zero to 8 degrees below zero.

U.S. heading into another recession, Wall Street report indicates
"Estimates for the third and fourth quarters have been dropped to levels not seen since the days of the 2008 financial crisis, below even the muted 2 percent expected level of inflation," CNBC reported Sunday.
"That's an ominous recession sign for an economy that has barely managed to attain positive growth this year even with the strong level of earnings beats," according to an analysis by Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx in New York.
Wait a minute. By all reports out of the Barack Obama White House we are well on our way to recovery.
Not so fast. According to the ConvergEx chief market strategist, estimated revenues for the remainder of 2012 have been forecast lower than anticipated earlier this year. Just so there's no confusion, in his own words: "This trend, however, has accelerated to the downside over the past 30 days and we are fast approaching levels where these estimates are unambiguously pointing to the risk of a U.S./global recession later into 2012 and 2013."
Signs of this downturn have been on the economic horizon for months. Evidence of such economic bad news has been suppressed by the White House and its minions of supporters in Congress. In this election year, this does not bode well for the president.
Whether it is negative or inconsequential to the president's bid for re-election, it is irrelevant. What matters is the people who have not recovered from the recession that began in 2008. This threat of a double-dip recession is a job killer and has the potential to launch the nation and the rest of the world into an economic depression.
No longer is it a Democrat versus a Republican. It's a matter of survival for most Americans.
It's a matter of whether businesses — small or large — can employ those persons just getting back to work from their earlier job lay off.
To both candidates running for the office of president, there is only one message (that James Carville, former Clinton campaign adviser coined) they need to concern themselves with in the months leading up to the election: "It's the economy, stupid!"

1 in 3: Chapter I
Have you ever had a perfect moment? One of those times, even if it's just for a few minutes, seconds, when time seems to stop around you and the people you're with. When everything is exactly how you want it, where you want it. When you are truly happy.
It was a cold winters morning, the air was foggy, the smell of the sea blew through the streets. Stuart woke up and checked his alarm, 07:30, work in an hour. He walked to the bathroom and peered into the mirror. Staring back at him was a man around 6 foot tall, medium length dark brown hair, bright mahogany eyes, to many women he would be considered quite attractive. He stroked his chin, he had a thick layer of stubble after the night before, he had a quick shave and then walked downstairs. Halfway down the stairs there was a large window, taller than a man, through the window you could see the sea, the waves crashed against the rocks at the shore, in the distance the Isle of Anglesey was visible. Stuart lived on the North coast of Wales in a large modern house atop the cliffs, not 2 minutes from the coast. Stuart continued down the stairs into the kitchen, popped some toast and sat down to a cup of tea. He could here the TV in the background, "Today will be bitterly cold, which average temperatures of around 3 degrees, make sure you wrap up warm today"
"Ahh great", said Stuart to himself "That's Wales for you"!
He finished his toast and made his way upstairs and got changed into his favourite suit. He grabbed his briefcase and ran outside, the moment he stepped onto the doorstep the cold hit him. His breath fogged when he breathed out and he began to shiver, he ran to his car and immediately turned the heater on.
"Jesus Christ, they weren't lying when they said it was cold", he laughed to himself.
He drove down the icy driveway and onto the road, he worked for himself, he made a living by selling his ideas for architecture and housing to real estate agents and contracters. His office was only a few miles away. As he drove, he looked out of the cars fogged up windows. The mist was lifting, and the sun began to shine and reflected off the murky puddles on the sidewalk.
He arrived at the office at 8:40 exactly, every day, without fail. He walked up the staircase in the lobby and into his office. It was Thursday, or what Stuart liked to call 'Lazy Day'. He just sat in his office and spun around on his chair, drank coffee and updated his facebook.
Then, there was a knock at the door, a quiet knock, which immmediately told Stuart that Catherine was at the door.
"Yes Catherine", he shouted.
"I was just wondering if you wanted Mr Fishers application forms for the Denbigh project", she said from the other side of the door. Her voice was muffled and she was very hard to understand.
"Come in Catherine", Stuart said breathing out a sigh.
"Okey dokey", said Catherine as she walked through the large oak doors.
"Catherine", said Stuart, "Tell Mr Fisher that he can have the job, I already know that he's good enough for it, I only just worked with him last week for christ's sake"
Stuart had a smile on his face, Catherine was always asking about Mr Fisher. Catherine was Stuarts right hand girl, they had been friends since high school and business partners for around 10 years. Simon Fisher was a close friend of theirs, a physicist, who helped Stuart plan out all of his ideas.
"Gotcha", said Catherine putting up her thumb.
She then did a quick twirl around and left the room, closing the door behind her. The sound of the door closing echoed around the room. All through the rest of that day Stuart just lay around, occasionally just making a few phonecalls. He watched the clock, just watching the seconds go by. When the clock hit four o'clock Stuart rushed up, picked up his files and made way for the door. As he opened the door he ran into Catherine on the other side.
"Christ", he yelled, "Jesus, you scared me to death"
"Sorry", Catherine laughed. "I was just gonna come and ask if you wanted to come to a little get together I'm having next weekend"
"Umm, ye sure why not", Stuart said while rubbing his eyes. "What time around"
"Well, there's not really a specific time, but if you come around 6 ish?", Catherine asked while smiling.
"Yeah sounds good", said Stuart.
"Great", exclaimed Catherine. "I can't wait!"
"Whoah, ok calm down", said Stuart laughing.
Stuart walked down the corridor and out of the office. He got in his car and turned the key. Nothing. He tried again, and still the car refused to start.

Charlie Gilmour, 21, was one of seven people charged last night by the Metropolitan Police as part of Operation Malone launched after a number of high-profile demonstrations in central London.
He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on February 10.
The Cambridge University student was photographed hanging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph during the protest against an increase in tuition fees on December 9.
He was among thousands who descended on Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square ahead of the key Commons vote.
Gilmour issued an apology the next day, describing his actions as a "moment of idiocy" and admitting he did not realise the monument in Whitehall commemorated Britain's war dead. He was arrested on December 12.
His statement at the time said: "I would like to express my deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country that my actions represented."
Gilmour, who has also been on the books of modelling agency Select Model Management, is the son of writer and journalist Polly Samson.
His biological father is the poet and playwright Heathcote Williams but he was adopted by Gilmour when his mother remarried.
The December 9 protest also saw rioters attack the car carrying the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall to the Royal Variety Performance as the demonstration descended into violence. Police made around 30 arrests.
Christopher Hilliard, 22, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, and a 17-year-old man, also from Cheshire, were both charged with violent disorder and will also appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on February 10.
Three men have also been charged with offences during the protest on November 24.
James Cross, 26, of Lewisham, south-east London, and Kevin Wilson-Web, 50, from Kensington, west London, were charged with theft of police equipment.
Justin Sey, 28, from Barnet, north London, was charged with criminal damage to a Government building.
James Jeffal, 19, from Willesden Lane, north London, was charged with causing fear of unlawful violence during the protests on November 30.
They will all appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on February 10.
Five others, who were arrested on the day they took part in the protests, were cautioned.
A 19-year-old man from south-east London was cautioned for theft on November 10, while a 20-year-old man from east London was cautioned for assaulting a police officer during the November 30 protest.
An 18-year-old man was cautioned for criminal damage on November 30, and a 17-year-old was given a reprimand.
Police also cautioned a 23-year-old man for causing fear of unlawful violence.

Garrett's Miss Pawhuska
|Garrett's Miss Pawhuska
– Garrett's Miss Pawhuska at 15 years old –
|Quarter Horse

Grandsire:	Joe Reed II

|Jenny Dee

Maternal grandsire:	Jimmie Allred

|United States
|Bill Rowe
|Dee Garrett
|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
Garrett's Miss Pawhuska (1946–1975) was a Quarter Horse horse broodmare who produced eight quarter horse foals, three of which would become world champion race horses.[1] When she was a yearling, she was sold by her owner, although he had not really planned on selling her. He felt he had to because one of his employees had told a customer the filly was for sale.
Her official race record lists her with six wins in six starts, but it is incomplete and is missing some earnings as well as some races. After racing for two years, she retired to become a broodmare and died in 1975 at age 29. Her son Vandy's Flash was the first gelding to be named a World Champion Quarter Running Horse. She was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame.
Early life
She was a 1946 sorrel mare sired by Leo and out of Jenny Dee, a daughter of Jimmie Allred.[2] Her dam (mother) was out of an mare named Big Bay, who was of unknown breeding. Jimmie Allred was sired by Dan whose father was Old Joe Bailey. Jimmie Allred's dam was Alice McGill who was sired by Little Hickory Bill, a son of Hickory Bill who was sired by Peter McCue[3] Miss Pawhuska was bred by Bill Rowe of Carlsbad, New Mexico, but by the time she was a yearling she was owned by Earl Jackson, of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. It isn't clear if Jackson bought Miss Pawhuska as a foal or if he bought Miss Pawhuska's dam while she was still carrying Miss Pawhuska.[2]
When she was a yearling, Dee Garrett visited Jackson's ranch and one of Jackson's ranch hands told him the filly was for sale for $200 ($ in current dollars). Although Jackson had not planned to sell the filly, he felt obligated to complete the sale because his employee had put a price on her.[2]
Race career
Although Garrett's widow later described Miss Pawhuska as "scrawny—she looked like a jackrabbit then",[4] Garrett trained her for the track and she raced as a two-year-old and three-year-old. Her first race was the Oklahoma Futurity in 1948, where she won her qualifying heat and won the finals by a nose.[5] The finals' start was delayed, but even after the delay, Miss Pawhuska won, beating Savannah G, Lapped, and Red River Pride. Her time for the 220 yards (200 m) race was 12.7 seconds.[3]
Although her official record with the American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) is six starts and six wins, the early records are not all entered into the AQHA's computers and the official charts published in the 1940s show she lost a match race to Gin High. However, the published race chart for the race noted that she was leading the race until she ran over a stake 50 yards (46 m) before the end of the race, which caused her to lose the race.[5] She earned a Race ROM and $250.00 ($ in current dollars) in her official records.[6] The official earnings only reflect one race, a match race in 1949, but they don't list the other purses she earned, including the $1,000 ($ in current dollars) purse for the 1948 Oklahoma Futurity. She also is claimed to have won a match race worth $2,500 ($ in current dollars), although this was an unofficial race.[7]
Her jockey at the time, C. W. Cascio, said of her when he raced her at Del Rio, Texas, "I thought she was going to have to go all out just to keep up with those big two-year-olds—what with her little enough to run under their bellies."[8] Her last race was at Enid, Oklahoma, and it was a match race against Bob K K, which she won.[3]
Breeding career
Her owner, Dee Garrett, bred her to his champion stallion Vandy, and produced three world champions: Vandy's Flash, Vanetta Dee, and Vannevar.[9] Vansarita Too set a new track record and Vandy's Betty and Miss Vanity earned AAA speed ratings.[6] Her first foal was Vandy's Betty, who went on to earn an AAA rating on the race track and became the dam of Mr. Van Deck. Her next foal was Vanetta Dee, who racked up 94 starts with 31 wins, 20 seconds and 16 thirds in six years of racing. Her total earnings were $83,325 ($ in current dollars). Vannevar was the next foal, and was AQHA Champion Racing Gelding in 1956 and 1957. Miss Pawhuska's 1954 foal was Vandy's Flash, who was the first gelding named World Champion Quarter Running Horse, in 1960.[10] Miss Pawhuska's 1955 foal was Vansarita, who was never raced. A number of miscarriages followed, but in 1958 Miss Pawhuska produced Miss Vanity, another AAA-rated racehorse. Miss Pawhuska slipped, or lost, her next two foals, but produced Vansarita Too in 1961, who also earned an AAA on the race track. Miss Pawhuska's last foal by Vandy was Vandy's Flash, a stallion, who was never raced but sired 107 foals. Miss Pawhuska's last foal was not by Vandy, but was by an son of Three Bars named The Ole Man, but the gelding was never raced.[11]
Death and legacy
She died at the age of 29 in 1975. She was buried on the Garretts' ranch outside Pawhuska.[11] Garrett's grandson said of her that "She was very gentle, the kind of mare you could do anything with." He also said of her "I guess you could say she was a family pet. I used to rider her out to the pastures to round up other mares, things like that."[12] She was on the leading dams of Race ROM earners from 1959 through 1969.[7]
She was inducted into the AQHA's AQHA Hall of Fame.[1] in 2006. Miss Pawhuska also has a stakes race named in her honor at Remington Park Track in Oklahoma City.[9]
