We've mentioned a time or two our discomfort with the notion of otherwise profitable businesses using the cover of an economic downturn to cut costs by cutting off workers.
Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette takes the bull by the bear market and articulates the situation better than we ever could.
"[B]y using the economy as an excuse, the most successful pro league in sports has set a poor example for others," Bouchette writes. "They're throwing people out of work, not because they're losing money but because, at best, they fear the future — although it won't stop the owners from staying in $500-a-night rooms at their meetings on the California coast later this month."
Boom. Roasted.
"That is precisely the kind of thinking the country does not need now, and if we're getting it from one of the nation's thriving businesses, what can anyone else expect?" Bouchette adds. "Instead of leading in tough times, the NFL has cowered."
We made a similar point in the wake of the acquisition of Albert Haynesworth by the Redskins (it was the first story posted after the Black Friday server explosion). How can a team justify laying off good, hard-working men and women while guaranteeing $41 million to a person who, in any other line of work, would have been fired and ostracized for doing what he did to Andre Gurode?
It can't, and actions like this could jeopardize the NFL's standing as the preeminent sports league in America.

Players contracts are covered by the salary cap, and CBA. The other team employees are not. People can say that spending a night in a $500 hotel room might seem wrong, when they are laying off, but the teams have to spend that money on players, as it was collectively bargained. How they spend it is up to the teams

"They're throwing people out of work, not because they're losing money but because, at best, they fear the future…"
Exactly! They're taking that money out of the economy because they're afraid of the economy tanking… guess what? When you start pre-emptively laying folks off the economy will tank. And not to mention what this does to confidence, what really drives the economy.
Now that we've said that cue the "the government will give them lots in unemployment" liberals…

Regarding Haynesworth: would paying customers rather have Albert Haynesworth or ten clerical workers? The Redskins didn't give The Headstomper big money because they hate the little guy – they did it because it's what their customers and advertisers want. What are you, Florio, some kind of communist? You sound like the public radio commies demanding "social justice." Life isn't fair – if you want to keep your job, be irreplacable.

Many other successful companies are doing the very same thing. Walmart had record profits last year but saw fit to lay off 60 executives from its corporate headquaters. The reasoning is as simple as it it is greedy. People are fearful of losing their jobs so the remaining workers have no choice but to work harder when successful companies cut staff. Companies also know that if they need to rehire the working force is plentiful and at a lower salary.

Florio , this is America, a capitalist nation, this is
what America is about:
1. Make as much money as you can in life.
2.Money is everything, and its hard to survive without money.
3.Life isn't fair.
4.Take care of yourself first and worry about your own problems.
5.If you dont make a living for yourself, nobody will help.
ncsteeler86 says: Mar 8, 2009 1:01 PM
Bouchette is an ass at times but he is right in this case. NFL teams main revenue flow (TV money, tickets to sold out stadiums) hasn't changed in the last year – maybe jersey sales are down a little. So, there's no justification for a support person to lose their job. If they needed these people they need them now. If not, they were poor businessmen for hiring them in the first place.
LenSp1 says: Mar 8, 2009 1:02 PM
Walmart, like most companies, can have conditions turn sour fast since it's revenue stream and biggest expense isn't locked in for several years. The NFL, however, has those two areas locked down for years at a time. If any NFL team believes that their costs with support staff have gotten too big, then the smart thing would be to use attrition and and some early retirement buyouts to reduce that staff. That would avoid the bad publicity.

[i]although it won't stop the owners from staying in $500-a-night rooms at their meetings on the California coast later this month."[/i]
And why should it? They're the owners. They've taken the risks to make the money they have, and it's their job to make those decisions and to enjoy the spoils. Good for them. And good for the people who work in those $500-a-night hotels who will benefit as well.
Maybe instead of settling for collecting a weekly paycheck Mr. Bouchette should start a successful business that creates jobs and he could enjoy the same $500-a-night perks.
In the America that I grew up in, success is lauded and striven for. When did class envy become a virtue?
svnrdr says: Mar 8, 2009 1:12 PM
@ kevinS,
I think you have missed the point. No one is stating that teams cannot spend their money the way they want.
There is a HUGE difference between legality and ethics…ethics trumps legality all day long.
Even before it was posted here @ PFT, as soon as I heard Haynsworth's deal and the layoffs of non-football related personnel, it made me sick as it should any rational person.
Zaggs says: Mar 8, 2009 1:42 PM

CD – I don't know what drug you're on, but I want some. Based on talent – Douchette couldn't write for a high school paper…..he is ass-terrible. The only way he keeps his job at that home-town rag is that he does a better job under Rooney's desk than the next guy. Do you ever watch Tomlin's news conferences? Have you EVER heard Douchette ask a question? ………criticize a call?…….do anything? If he's being interviewed, and is asked a question off the cuff…..he's stupified…can't answer the most sophomoric question unless someone's holding a cue card for him. He ain't kool.

In no way can you justify the salaries of players and owners, it absolutely rediculous. Football is a business?? BS!! It is, and was, a game before its a business. There are millions of people that contribute more to society than these greedy overpaid clowns.
carpkillah says: Mar 8, 2009 1:50 PM
Football is a business, as is pointed out on a daily basis by every free agent, holdout, and owner in the league.
The point of a business is to make money. There are probably a few owners in the league who bought their teams out of love for the game, etc., but I guarantee that if they weren't making money, they'd have gotten out by now.
Again, the point of a business is to make money, not to provide employment for people. I feel bad about people losing their jobs, I live in the midwest and am seeing it all around me, but if Dan Snyder were to stay at a Holiday Inn instead of a "$500-a-night" hotel, things wouldn't be any different.
As much as I don't like Haynesworth, and think he was overpaid, Snyder didn't sit there and look at the payroll and figure out which office staff he was going to have to cut to make up that $100 million or whatever it was. Any assertion that signing Haynesworth cost office employees their jobs is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Besides that, Haynesworth will bring in alot of money into the organization than some secretary, or at least that's what Snyder is betting, taking ALL the risk, while journalists from their ivory towers criticize out of jealousy.
God forbid that a few men who built successful businesses that pour millions in tax dollars into the government and millions in revenues into their communities spend "$500-a-night" on hotel rooms.
Hey Florio, what did your trip to the Super Bowl cost?
malpine says: Mar 8, 2009 1:51 PM
The success and future success of a society is not measured by it's wealthiest, but by it's members most lacking. That doesn't mean socialism is necessarily the way to go, but capitalism hasn't necessarily shown to be so great either.
This society, like all others, would cease to exist if everyone refused to do the weekly paycheck jobs and started a successful business that creates jobs. Exactly who would work those jobs if everyone had that attitude? We rightfully applaud the successful business person who does this, but somehow denigrate the individual who makes that successful person possible.
The world needs ditch diggers…they may be paid less, but they are no less valuable.
Snyder and the Steeler's have every right to do what they want with their money. Bouchette has the right to call them out on being irresponsible with it.
And there is NO such thing as being irreplaceable…

It's called capitalism! Too bad clueless B. Hussain O. and his liberal cronnies and union buddies just don't seem to understand that. America, the great country that it was and hopefully will be again once Hussain is done screwing it up, was built on capitalism!! Companies/teams who nothing to their employees as it is employment at will….These teams do not owe it to their employees to keep them on the payroll just because times are bad. Look at it the other way, as an employee when times are good and you have other offers for more cash or responsibility do you say no because you owe something to your current employer?? If you do, you are a fool!

Mike, you have written before that this is not a political forum, or something to that point during the election. But you sure let your views be known in this post. I believe everyone that reads that will know which side of the fence your on.
And while we are on the subject, just remember when the economy started its slide on Wall Street, when the Democrats took control of the house 2 years ago. Those loans weren't bad then, people were working and making payments. And now a real social minded president who is printing money as fast as he can to sponsor "programs", if I was China I would call in my notes.
Think I will buy gold bricks and bury them in my backyard, seems thats the safest bet now.

The role of business is to make a profit. The role of business is not to create jobs or maintain jobs, or to set an example. If a business can function as well with fewer employees and maximize it's profit, then more power to it.
No one has a right to be given a job. Everyone has the right to become self-employed. If you have a skill, market it and make money. If you don't, then by all means become yet another dependent of the welfare state.
Class envy is the disease that is on its way to destroying our way of life. Way to feed the fire, Mike. This may be the worst article you've ever written in support of an even worse concept.
tj.52 says: Mar 8, 2009 2:56 PM
The fact is that the 32 teams of the NFL are privately owned businesses that owe absolutely nothing to society.
If you do not like what these teams are doing with their money, you have every right to stop supporting them.
You also have every right to tell all your friends to stop supporting them.
This situation is really not comparable to the banking and insurance situations that we are dealing with right now.
You cannot REFUSE to get a mortgage if you want to buy a home.
You cannot, in most if not all states, REFUSE to get insurance for your vehicle, home and business.
The banking and insurance situations are legalized extortion, not capitalism at its worst.
You don't like what the teams are doing, stop watching the games and buying the hats and t-shirts. Plain and simple.

Shaun Lowrie – What can I do with a dose of B. Hussain O. except pay more taxes and subject my kids to paying for all his BS! I didn't agree with Bush economics as the gov't spent too much (excluding the war which was necessary), but he never should have bailed out those lazy GM union workers or the banks. A capitalist would have let the markets work. Hussain has tanked the stock market almost 25% in 6 weeks, but then again you probably are not in the market and are waiting for another handout from Hussain!
Mr. Phantom says: Mar 8, 2009 3:11 PM
Bouchette is absolutely correct with this story. What he also wrote is the NFL teams are doing this so as to cry poor during the next labor talks. Typical big business move. Keep all of the profits, pay no taxes, have the rest of the tax payers pay for their stadiums, and have no morality or public consciousness. At least the old "robber barrons" of the past did do some good things for society unlike the ones of this new era. I laugh at some of these posts critical of the new administration. Look at the last eight years. How can anyone not think a change in direction is needed? Oh, I guess only the ones who don't pay a dime in taxes and yet get all of the benefits by living in America. As Lincoln said, this is a country of the people, by the people and for the people. The people have spoken. By the way, there is nothing in the Constitution of what type of economy the United States should have.

>>Nineteen says:

It became a virtue when America decided it was more important that a child feel good about themselves than it was to allow them to experience the harshness of the real world. When self entitlement and self worth and finger pointing took precedence over hard work, determination and persistence.
I'm surprised that people are surprised by the outrage. We now live in a country where your problems are the direct result of someone else's failure. It's not your fault that you have problems with money. It's not your fault that you're fat and disgusting and unhealthy. It's not your fault that you make poor decisions in life. It's the fault of rich people. Not to fear though. The Government will fix it!
As far as the topic is concerned, it sounds like this guy is writing an article with the sole purpose of getting people riled up. Let's be real here- Is a team supposed to do nothing in the off season to improve? Of course not, and any action in the off season is going to cost money.
It sucks that folks lost their jobs, but none of us are privvy as to why. All we can do is merely speculate and point fingers.

Yup- The Clinton Administration. He was the catalyst that got this big ball moving. In fact, in 2003, Bush foresaw the potential meltdown, and it was Barney Frank who said "Nope, everything's fine!" Funny how they now point fingers at Bush when in reality he wasn't the one who started this mess.

While the concept of capitalism is alive and well in the NFL, the facts are that television basically provides NFL teams a break even proposition. Local broadcasting, sponsorships and ticket sales represents the profit margin.
Many teams may be using the economy as a way to jettison less or non-productive front office personnel, the fact remains they are over compensating for "economic" layoffs by ridding themselves of revenue producing personnel, which in turn will create less revenue. (This is called a self fulfilling prophecy.)
While the team revenue producers who were laid off, as one other comment read, can be replaced at a lower wage, the real questions is why are the teams laying personnel off. These teams ALL make millions of dollars even as owners pay themselves top salaries and great benefits.
The real expense items teams need to watch are the biggest expense categories, player salaries, (within the limits of the CBA minimum) and coaching salaries and staff size. Teams can police themselves on the salary cap as long as they meet the cap minimums. Relative to coaches salaries, teams have seemingly gotten away from high priced veteran coaches, (Gruden, Shanahan, The Big Show, etc) hiring lower profile assistant coaches (The Tomlin Effect) as replacements. That is just one of the coaches salary issues, the other is size of staffs and the salary levels for coordinators. This requires self restraint and controlling the big dollars by the teams. If will be interesting to see if the those teams following the Tomlin Effect, (Chiefs, Rams, Broncos, et all) will be successful. I think they will be on a short leash and the Gruden's, Shanahan's and the like will be back at the helms of teams that want to win, maybe will less control and tighter budgets, but back in the saddle nonetheless.
If Teams use self restraint, and change non productive front office staff for new staff, or consolidate some positions, then all these layoffs are not necessary.
Maybe the question is: Is there collusion among the owners to use the layoffs as a media relations ploy for union bargaining, while many clubs concurrently address the expense of the player salary categories and coaching related salary issues, (size of staff and salaries)?

Loved both this item and the 2/27 Haynesworth item, Florio. I was sort-of looking for such a piece on the day the signing happened – but the hamsters went on strike – and in the chaos that ensued, I missed a lot. In fact, I was harboring a conspiracy-theory that you deliberately tanked your site that day, in part to protect NFL teams like the Redskins from this type of backlash. (Notice how Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato protected *themselves* from media backlash/scrutiny by not availing themselves on the podium alongside Haynesworth during Haynesworth's introductory press conference.)
And not only did the Redskins award an insane contract to a person who did what he did to Andre Gurode – they just *happened* to lucratively employ a guy who – based on the item you posted yesterday – is a danger to the community at-large. What he did to a fellow player in the troughs of a sport in which testosterone-fueled aggression is the order of the day is not kosher – but what Haynesworth did to an innocent "working stiff" when he (Haynesworth) was supposed to be operating a vehicle like a responsible adult is much worse.
(And Haynesworth wasn't even intoxicated at the time, was he?)
Maybe Snyder felt a certain "connection" with Haynesworth: while Snyder puts people out of work through mass layoffs, Haynesworth puts people out of work through serious bodily injury.

Rich people don't EVER take less money. If you want to raise their taxes or make them give up more of the money they made, they will just squeeze everyone else to make sure they get paid the same amount. They are rich for a reason…and it usually ain't because they are dumb.
(and no, i'm not rich, not even close)
SpartaChris says: Mar 9, 2009 1:34 PM
It strikes me as humorous just how many people think rich, successful people do nothing more than sit back and collect tax breaks. How they fail to recognize that success isn't given- it's earned. How they blame rich people for their problems while failing to acknowledge that it takes a LOT of hard work, determination, persistence and sacrifice to earn that success, the kind most of us aren't willing to put the time or effort into.
The easy thing to do is to make excuses and blame other people for your life's mistakes and problems. The simple fact is it's a lot of hard work to become successful. In fact, CNN published a study sometime back stating that the average success story took 10 years to develop. 10 years!
But instead of acknowledging the effort required, we choose to throw around words like "greedy" and "unfair." Phrases like, "They should pay their fair share" or "No one needs to have that kind of money." Instead of teaching our children that hard work and determination are what will eventually pay off in life, and that it's ok to fail from time to time, we teach our children that they are entitled to the good life right out of high school, and that they won't have to earn anything for themselves since all of life's problems will be taken care of for them.
And we really wonder why we're in the economic mess we're in.

It's a typical finger pointing response by someone who wants to blame other people for their problems while completely ignoring the facts.
According to a study done by taxfoundation.org in 2007, the top 20% of income earners pay more in taxes than the remaining 80% of income earners combined and received less in government spending.
In fact, it's those who pay the least in taxes that receive the most in government spending. So those who pay the most get the least and vice versa.. Yet people bitch about tax breaks for corporations.
People also fail to acknowledge that it's the wealthy who provide the jobs. The wealthy who start the companies that employ millions of Americans. But no, they're not paying their fair share to society, even though they provide me with a paycheck and a chance to earn a living. How dare they!
Disclaimer- I'm not rich. Far from it in fact. I just despise the "Woe is me attitude" we American's have put on display lately. The American dream can be had by those who work for it.

Sleepy brains take learning seriously
By Bruce Bower, 15:50 PM April 15, 2008
For much of the time that we snooze, our brains generate an electrical output known as slow-wave activity. This sleep-specific pattern arises from neural processes involved in learning rather than in recharging fatigued brain cells as scientists have often assumed, a new study suggests.
Giulio Tononi of the University of Wisconsin in Madison and his coworkers instructed 11 adult volunteers to practice a hand-eye coordination task shortly before spending a night in a sleep laboratory. In the t...

(After the house lights are out, there is a beat, and then the stage lights come on and the curtains part to a room. There are two beds [opposite sides of the stage], a vanity drawer [DR], a door [UL], a lounge chair [LC], and a closet [URC]. At DC, there are many little toys and sensory Objects [silly putty, balloons, goop, buttons, marbles in jar filled with water] on the floor in a little basket. There is music in the background [Old Rock] and three girls come out. These girls' names are Carrie, Savanna, and Grace. Carrie I s sitting on the stool near the vanity drawer with savanna brushing her hair behind her while Grace sits in the chair, fidgeting with something(she could be doing something helpful such as: untangling necklaces or mending a dress. Carrie is wearing a white cotton slip, Savanna is wearing a blue, sparkly dress, and Grace, bright, floral dress.
Carrie is a fourteen year old autistic girl who is going to a banquet in honor, support, and give awareness of all the people on the Autism Spectrum in that town. Savanna was asked to speak in that banquet as a sibling. Grace [Carrie's best and only friend], Savanna [Carrie's sister], the sister's parents, and savanna's boyfriend [Liam] were invited. )
Savanna: (happy and trying to strike a conversation with Carrie, who is staring/fidgeting at some makeup.)
Carrie, are you excited? This is going to be really fun don't you think?
Carrie: How do atomic bombs work?
Savanna: (ready, used to this sort of thing)
Oh wait, Carrie, I asked you a question, please answer then I'll answer yours, okay?
Grace: yeah Carrie, c'mon
(After a bit waiting for Carrie to reply, Savanna puts her face near the mirror [the mirror could be just glass] and mouths the words " I am not excited" with Carrie. The door bell rings. And Savanna whispers a simple "Liam". Everyone goes back to their things.)
Savanna: (turning to grace)
Well maybe you can explain what an atomic bomb is while I go get Liam? (Grace nods and Savanna walk to the door [UL] Grace walks to the chair and brushes carries' hair)
Grace: (sighing)
Well, why don't we start at the beginning? There are these little, tiny things that we can't even see called atoms that make us up. And an atomic bomb works by making the little things, these atoms-which is a very bad and dangerous thing- to move around really fast, Blowing things up, basically. Do you understand, Carrie?
(Carrie looks around and smiles)
Carrie: I hope that no fish are affected.
Grace: (a little sad-acting)
Most likely
(They giggle and laugh until Liam and Savanna come in. Grace gets up to greet Liam. Liam walks to Carrie and tries to hug her but Carrie pulls back. Liam tacks a moment to remember Carrie's ups and downs and says "oh yeah". Savanna goes to the closet and takes out a beautiful black satin dress with gold buttons and yellow, blue, and green embroidery. Liam starts to the door but Savanna reassures him with a...)
Savanna: Oh no, Liam, you can stay.
(Liam walks to one of the beds and sits down. While Savanna helps Carrie slip on the dress, Grace goes back to her chair and leans back, sighing. Savanna walks over to Liam and sits next to him, sighing as well. Every one seems relaxed and happy.)
Liam: (bored)
And now we wait.
Grace: (nodding)
And now we wait.
(After a beat, Carrie gets up and twirls around in her dress, humming and apparently trying not to notice everyone else. Savanna notices this and walks closer to
Carrie and suddenly hugs her. Carrie is stressed at first but relaxes. Then Savanna takes Carrie's shoulders and tries to look in to her eyes.)
Savanna: (understanding)
Carrie, are you nervous? Do you think people won't listen? What is it, honey, what is it?
(Carrie ignores Savanna and walks DC. She sighs and sits on the floor, fidgeting. Liam walks up to her and comforts her as she begins to cry [can sigh again or express feelings of nervousness, worry, pity, and doubt in another, non verbal way.] Grace stands up and walks next to Carrie, playing with her.
Carrie and Savanna's mother and father, Lauren and Charlie Robinson, walks in holding Flowers. They're dressed in a grey suit and a long, red dress. Savanna runs to Lauren and hugs her warmly.)
Savanna: (happy, excited)
Mom, what were you doing down stairs?
Lauren: Nothing, just talking about the banquet.
(Savanna greets Charlie with a cheek-kiss. Lauren sits with Carrie and Grace. She Greets Grace with a hand-shake and pats Carrie on the back. As they are playing, Savanna sits at the Vanity, putting on her makeup.
Liam and Charlie sit at the beds [farthest from the vanity], talking.)
Charlie: How is your mother, Liam? I heard the chemo is helping a little more.
Liam: Good
Charlie: Great.
Liam: Mr. Robinson?
Charlie: What
Liam: well, I love your daughter very much and I feel very happy and wonderful when I'm with her. I...I...Want to ask you for her hand.
(Charlie stands up. Liam stands up as well. Charlie turns to Liam, pointing to him.)
Charlie: (decided, slightly stern, bold)
I can't answer that question right now for two reasons. One, I have no idea. Two, I would have to tell you something that you won't want to hear. So wait till the banquet.
(Charlie walks out the door. Lauren gets up and fallows him. Savanna walks to Liam [confused] and kisses him.
Savanna: what happened? What's going on?
Liam: (shrugging)
Nothing, I mean... I don't know.
(The curtain goes down. END OF SCENE ONE)

Comedy benefits seem to be ten-a-penny at the moment, but this Burma Benefit - in support of democracy in Burma - has particular resonance. The biggest risk political comics in this country face is a bad review, but in Burma some have been imprisoned for speaking their minds. Compering this show is marvellous storyteller/character comic and unlikely Corrie star Maureen Lipman, while the supporting cast boasts alternative poet laureate John Hegley, comedian/writer Tony Hawks and some of the best new stand-up, including Omid Djalili and Daniel Kitson. The multi-cultural, multi-genre evening also promises live music from Fran Healy of Travis, Jamie Catto (Faithless and 1 Giant Leap) and Clive Rowe of Chicago. There will also be an exclusive video from REM and taped contributions from supporters as diverse as Dennis Hopper, Pierce Brosnan and Alanis Morrisette.
Whispering Freedom , Sunday 23rd June, Royal Court, Sloane Square, SW1 (020 7565 5000).
After some scorching shows here in April, the American motormouth returns for another brief run. The cosmetically-enhanced New Yorker's set is short by stand-up standards, but the joke rate is so high you'll laugh more times watching Rivers in full flow for an hour than watching other comics for a month. Along the way no sensitive subject is left untouched, from the Twin Towers to Parkinson's Disease. Special guest Lily Savage will be doing the introducing honours.
Joan Rivers , Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th June, Theatre Royal, Haymarket, SW1 (0870 901 3356).
If you want a contrast to Joan Rivers you could not get something more different than the dry wit of Linda Smith. Rivers and Smith might both be women, but that is where the similarities end. Londoner Smith was recently voted the 'wittiest person on radio' by Radio 4's Word Of Mouth series, and this is a rare chance to see her doing a full set. Most people will know her for her much shorter bursts of wit - she is a regular on Just A Minute.
Linda Smith , Saturday 22nd June, Greenwich Borough Halls, Royal Hill, SE10 (020 8858 7755).
Steve Furst is one of the nearly men of comedy who deserves to be much more successful. He previously put together a musical based on the life of Gary Glitter and made a cult of himself as cod-crooner Lenny Beige. His latest assault on the world of celebrity comes in the form of this new show in whih he plays colourful characters such as mythical Seventies rock guitarist Henry St Clair. Could be fun in a Spinal Tappish way.
Celebrity Squares , Wednesday 26th-Saturday 29th June, Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street (020 7478 0100).Reuse content

Chapter ThreeMature
Cal was one hundred percent ready for them.
Swinging the bat round, he connected it with one of their heads sending it crashing to the floor. The other four hissed angrily. One of them grabbed his arm and dug it's fingernails into his skin.
Jerking his arm away, narrowly missing it's hungry lethal bite, he brought his leg into the air and kicked it right in the middle of the chest.
'Cal! Behind you!' a voice came from the doorway and to Cal's horror he realised it was his sister.
'Holly! Get back in the car now!' He brought the bat crashing round the other zombie's heads, one straight after the other silently thanking whoever was watching over them that they were slow and dim-witted.
'No way I'm not leaving you!' Holly protested. 'There's some behind you Cal! We're not gonna make it!'
Turning round, Cal saw at at least half a dozen more staggering through one of the back doors, moaning and baring their teeth. Picking up the bag off the floor, Cal grabbed his sisters hand and pelted it through the doorway, back outside and to the safety of the car.
Once they were safely inside, Cal locked the doors shut and revved the engine before speeding back onto the road, the zombies lurching after them.
'Is everybody okay?' Cal demanded in a shaky tone.
'We're fine, are you okay?' Adam replied.
'I'm alright...Holly?'
Holly was sat there shaking like a leaf. Her brown eyes were glassy due to unshed tears and the expression on her face was mixed between horror and disbelief. Keeping one hand on the steering wheel, Cal gave his sister an awkward one armed hug.
'Holly, it's fine. I'm okay, we're alive, but you have to promise me you will never do that again! Do you understand? You stay in the car! Anything could have happened...'
'I couldn't just sit around doing nothing, you could have gotten killed!' Holly gasped.
'I know,' Cal soothed his sister. 'But it's important that you get out alive. I can handle myself.'
'Cal,' Holly's voice was low and serious. 'There is no way I could leave you. No way in hell. You're my brother and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're safe with me.'
Cal didn't say anything, there was no point. His sister could be extremely stubborn when she wanted to and he knew he couldn't change her mind. Sighing, he fixed his eyes on the road and concentrated on the long journey ahead.
'Where are we going to sleep?' Annie piped up after roughly twenty minutes of driving. The supplies from the garage had been rationed out and Adam and Holly were dozing peacefully.
'Honestly, I don't know, ' Cal sighed. 'But we need to stop off soon.'
'Nowhere's going to be safe. They're going to find us no matter where we are.'
'I'm trying to remain optimistic, Annie.'
'Optimism isn't a choice in the situation we are in.'
'I have to remain positive...for Holly,' Cal whispered, mostly to himself.
A pause.
'Thank you Cal. I mean it. You're the bravest person I've ever met, and I appreciate everything you're doing, for me...and my brother. Especially since...' Annie trailed off, looking out the window.
'Well, we need to stick together in times like these...' Cal smiled up into the rear view mirror at Annie. Everything happened in slow motion after that.
Something crashed with incredible force into the windscreen, causing Cal to jerk sharply on the wheel. Total chaos. Annie screaming. Adam and Holly yelling out. Cal desperately trying to regain control of the car, but it was heading straight for the cold, icy lake.
'The...wheel is STUCK!' Cal shouted.
'Cal!' Holly screamed. Before anyone else could say anything, the car plunged head first into the freezing, terrifying darkness.

The Universe (all space-time) has a cause of its beginning to exist. Consider:
• …The Universe "began to exist" (Craig).This is relevant because the cause of all space-time must be able to exist independently of time, space, and matter. It must also have the power (ability) and the disposition (nature) to cause such a thing. This all sounds very suspiciously like God.1 By contrast, it is a uniquely awkward and surprising development for atheist cosmologists, because such a development "was not even remotely expected."2
• …There was a first material event.
But no,…
• …causation is itself temporal (so you can't cause space-time without space-time).
But so what if the Universe has a cause? [All Forthcoming]
• …the cause is the Universe itself (causing itself).
• …the cause is a rebounding previous Universe.
• …the cause is nothing.
• …the cause is an abstract object (e.g. an equation).
• …the cause is a fluctuation from a background universe.
• …the cause is a Chaotic-Inflation process (pre-space)
• …"God did it" is not an explanation.
• …God would need a cause, too.
The Universe/physics is fine-tuned for permitting life. That is to say, of all the known ways the universe could have been, few ways would ever allow any life to exist. Consider…
• …the initial conditions of the universe are fine-tuned.
• …the laws of physics are fine-tuned.
This is a very awkward and shocking development for atheist cosmologists1 because it means for them that we got really lucky for no reason. If God exists, however, then the Universe's ability to permit life is not nearly so surprising or improbable.2 Such a universe is the kind of thing God would plausibly choose to create.3
But no, …
• …changes just yield different life forms
• …constant's can't be different (T.O.E.)
• …life-friendly Universes are rare but probable[Forthcoming]
• …one can't do probabilities with an infinite range[Forthcoming]
• …new knowledge will eliminate fine-tuning
• …over 99.9% of the universe is hostile to life.[Forthcoming]
But so what if the Universe is fine-tuned (or life-permitting)? Plausibly…
• …many universes exist or existed, and we won the universe lottery.4
• …we would not be here unless the unlikely did occur.
• …the Universe is equally fine-tuned to permit rocks, etc.5[See response]
• …it is only fine-tuned to life as we know it.
• …God would need a fine-tuner, too.
• …"God did it" is not an explanation.[Forthcoming]
The Universe is fine-tuned for being discoverable[Forthcoming] (i.e., of all the known ways the universe could have been, and even among the subset which allows for lifeforms, few have initial conditions, laws, and physical constants which would ever allow those lifeforms to learn about it). This is a very awkward and shocking development for atheists 1 because it means for them* that we got really lucky for no reason. If God exists, however, then the Universe's amenability to being discovered and known is not nearly so surprising or improbable.2 Such a universe is the kind of thing God would plausibly choose to create.
Features of living organisms appear as if they were intelligently designed, even if the appearance is only superficial. Consider…
This is relevant because if God did not exist, then the likelihood of this being true is very low. Simultaneously, if God does exist, then life's appearing intelligently designed is not nearly so unexpected because life actually being intelligently designed is not unexpected.
But so what if life gives a superficial appearance of design? Plausibly…
• … [life evolved in an unguided way that mimics the pattern of intelligent design].[Forthcoming]
Our cognitive faculties (perception, memory, reason, etc.) are such that they are generally reliable.1 (That is to say, they are more inclined to recommend to us true beliefs rather than false ones.) Consider that intuitions justify beliefs;…
• …intuition justifies belief that x happened in the past.
• …intuition justifies belief that x exists outside my mind.
• …intuition justifies belief that x is conscious.
• …intuition justifies belief that x is objectively morally wrong.
• …intuition justifies belief that x could've occurred.
This is relevant because it is awkward and unexplained if atheism is true, whereas if theism is true, it is not nearly so unlikely or unexpected. After all, creating moral agents with generally reliable cognitive faculties able to interact with each other is the kind of thing a good God would plausibly choose to do.2
But so what if our cognitive faculties are generally reliable? Plausibly…
• reliable faculties were selected for by an unguided evolutionary process.[Forthcoming]
As studies show, humans are innately inclined to be theists; they instinctively find theism commonsensical or intuitive. (By "intuitive" here, we mean that cognitively healthy humans from childhood into adulthood are innately predisposed to think atheism "seems" false or absurd). Consider…
• …Atheists find theism intuitive. (Finland study, 2013)
• …Humans are born believers. (Oxford study, 2011)
• …Intuitive thinkers favor theism. (Harvard study, 2011)
This is relevant because in the absence of a new belief which undercuts or rebuts it, it is rational to heed the suggestions of our philosophical intuitions. Doing otherwise runs one into severe worldview consequences, where one is suddenly unable to justify one's most basic beliefs.
But no,…
• …some/many people are nontheists
• …some people report having no such intuition
But so what if God-belief is instinctive? Couldn't it be that…
• …the God intuition is a misleading evolutionary byproduct?
Some actions are objectively morally wrong (i.e., wrong despite what anybody believes). This is relevant because the existence of such specifically personal facts in the world is unlikely if the world is, at bottom, impersonal (particles and physics), and yet it is very much the kind of thing we would anticipate if a God exists who grounds the world and who could not fail to have been loving, honest, etc.
But so what? Plausibly… [All Forthcoming]
• …x's net consequences are bad.
• …x is done for bad reasons.
• …x wouldn't be done by an "ideal observer".
A metaphysically necessary being exists (that is to say, there is an entity/thing which, by its own nature, could not fail to exist). Consider…
• …A "Sum-styled" Leibnizian Cosmological Argument
• …A "Start-styled" Leibnizian Cosmological Argument
• …Pruss's Leibnizian Cosmological Argument
• …A Big Bang Argument from Beginnings

Something of a slightly different Morrigan Aensland work of art this week. There's something about this style of art and Morrigan that just looks… right.
This art of Morrigan is by an artist on Pixiv named Soyig. You can find the original page I found this art here.
I've often said that I like Morrigan more when she is drawn with a more realistic body shape, but I also like her in a more Manga-ish form as well. In this case, I think she really looks quite stunning. She has a beautiful, wonderful mane of hair that just flows perfectly over her form. It's kind of the focus of the entire work in that it frames her face, the look in her eyes is classic Morrigan, and just holds you really well. I like the sharp edges of her wings, there's a difference there in that they seem sharper and more dangerous than how I have seen them in other art.
While the art looks a bit rough, there is so much detail to be seen that I really wonder what this would look like as a completed and coloured work… I hope it is sometime.

... at the car we decided to move on to another walk, but when we got there it was closed. We then went somewhere else on the reserve where there was no available parking. We then drove around a bit and I happened to see a few bison through the fence line, so we stopped to look at them. There were a few baby bison that basically looked like calves, and one big guy walked right up to the fence line to stare at us. Whenever we moved the bison's eyes ...

Weird Weather
€ 38,99

BeschreibungThis book is, in a sense, a sequel to David Seargent's first Springer book Weird Astronomy (2010). Whereas Weird Astronomy extended over a broad range of purely astronomical topics, the present work concentrates on phenomena closer to home; the atmospheric and "shallow space" events as opposed to deep space events. The line between astronomy and meteorology is blurred - a fact that is discussed in Weird Weather. It is not primarily a book of "wonders" or of the unexplained, although some of the topics covered remain mysteries. It is primarily directed toward those who are fascinated by climate and weather, and who are open-minded when considering Earth's climate, what drives it, and what are the causes of climate change. The author, David A. J. Seargent, presents the facts with a balanced and scientific approach.Weird Weather: Tales of Astronomical and Atmospheric Anomalies is about strange, unusual, and apparently inexplicable observations of the air and sky. Primarily these are in the Earth's atmosphere, but there are corresponding phenomena in the atmospheres of other planets of the Solar System - lightning on Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, whirlwinds and dust storms of Mars, and auroras on Jupiter. Topics include anomalous lights, anomalous sounds, spectacular effects of cloud illumination by the Sun or Moon, lightning phenomena, electrophonic sounds of lightning, aurora and meteors, tornado and whirlwind phenomena on Earth and Mars, usual atmospheric effects, mirages, and the possible astronomical influences on cloud and climate.
InhaltsverzeichnisA Lonely Blue Globe.- Our Inconsistent Climate.- Heavenly Curtains.- Lightning's Gleaming Rod.- Vortices of Wind, Dust, and Cloud.- Strange Clouds, Fogs, and Other Assorted Oddities.- Mystery Explosions and Strange Lights.
PortraitDavid A. J. Seargent holds an MA and PhD, both in Philosophy, from the University of Newcastle NSW, where he formerly worked as a tutor in Philosophy for the Department of Community Programs/Workers' Educational Association external education program. He is also an avid astronomer and is known for his observations of comets, one of which he discovered in 1978. Together with his wife Meg, David lives at The Entrance, north of Sydney on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. He is the author of two published astronomy books: 'Comets: Vagabonds of Space' (Doubleday, 1982), and 'The Greatest Comets in History: Broom Stars & Celestial Scimitars' (Springer 2008). Currently he is the author of a regular column in 'Australian Sky & Telescope' magazine. His latest work for Springer is 'Weird Astronomy: Tales of Unusual, Bizarre, and Other Hard to Explain Observations' (2010).

A Story [Michelle]
"We have been waiting here for a very long time," they told me, their voices cold and emotion-less. Inhuman. Not normal, not in any sense of the word. "Almost sixteen years now, but we were sure you would turn up. Because we knew of your existence, and have done since you were born: your parents tried to hide you, tried to take away the power that we knew you had, but it would not be quashed.
"And so we waited, year after year. One day, nine years after our wait had begun, you turned up. Finally, our hopes were in sight! We opened the link wider, to try to break you. But you would not be broken."
"I will not give in that easily," I told them angrily, my chin stuck forward in a determined manner. "I've never been easy to break. You've probably worked that out by now, haven't you?" I was angry. They were controlling everything -- my life, my friends, and even my brain. Because 'opening the link': that had to mean that they had let the voices in.
"We are the only people who can stop the voices from coming into this world. They only ever find one host each generation, and more often than not he or she is driven mad. Often, they take their own lives. But you were special. You do not break easily. And so we pushed you to the limit, trying to discover your boundaries."
"And have you found them?"
"Not yet, Michelle. Not yet. But it is no longer necessary. Let me explain something." They paused and licked their lips. "It was only necessary to discover this while we still needed to report to the voices. But they can see for themselves, now, and they do not need us."
"What do you mean?" I exclaimed, looking around.
"Watch," said one of them. One. That was something new, because before they had spoken only in synchronisation.
Slowly, slowly they made our way over to the curtain on the far side of the room and pulled it across. A wide viewscreen was visible. And on it, a face that had haunted my nightmares since I was a baby.
I screamed.

Police make another arrest in biker attack on NYC driver
Police say the 28-year-old Brooklyn man was among a group of bikers who chased an SUV for miles
Asssociated Press
NEW YORK — Another biker is under arrest in connection with a mob attack on an SUV driver during a motorcycle rally in New York City.
Kaliq Douglas was charged Friday evening with gang assault. Police say the 28-year-old Brooklyn man was among a group of bikers who chased an SUV for miles after a Sept. 29 encounter on a Manhattan highway.
Amateur video shows the bikers forcing the SUV to halt then surrounding it on foot. The driver says he feared for his life and plowed through the crowd, running over and gravely injuring one motorcyclist.
Bikers gave chase, then pulled the driver from the vehicle and beat him.
Several riders have been arrested, including an off-duty police officer.
Douglas was in custody. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer.

Hi guys.
A mate of mine has a 320d sportspack and wants to take my towbar (i dont use it) from a 330i.
Can he just take the detachable towbar (from boot) and hook it on or does he need to fully install the kit behind the bumper?
Basically - do all e46 come with something that the detachable towbar can fit into?

Michael McIntyre, a new judge on Britain's Got Talent and the youngest-ever host of the Royal Variety Performance, will be delivering the chuckles at BSAVA Congress this year.
Michael McIntyre, the new judge on Britain's Got Talent and the youngest ever host of the Royal Variety Performance, will be delivering the chuckles at BSAVA Congress this year.
BSAVA has signed up the successful stand-up, who was a pre-big-time host of the Petplan Veterinary Awards in 2008, for Saturday's Party Night.
He will join Fred MacAulay and Paul Zerdin for the comedy section of Party Night's entertainment, which will be followed with music by The Counterfeit Stones and The Feeling.
After several years as a jobbing stand-up, earning a fan base and picking up a Perrier nomination, Michael's big break came at the Royal Variety Performance in 2006. His debut DVD, Live and Laughing, was the fastest selling of all time, only to be eclipsed by his second, Hello Wembley, which sold more than 1.4 million copies and was the 2009 Christmas number one.
He now hosts his own BAFTA-nominated BBC One series, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, and won the British Comedy Award for Best Live Stand-up in 2009 following his record-breaking, sell-out 54- date arena tour.
ITV1 viewers will see him take the hot seat soon as a judge on the hit talent search Britain's Got Talent.
BSAVA Congress is fast earning a reputation for its Party Night social – having brought in big names such as Jools Holland, Bill Bailey, and last year's number one band at the time, Scouting for Girls.

text: Cosmology The study of the structure and the workings of the entire universe. Heresy of a Polish Priest In Europe, astronomy didn't revive until the Renaissance. Nicolaus Copernicus was born in eastern Poland in 1473. He studied in several universities learning everything then known in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and theology. The Copernican Revolution 1543 Copernicus publishes De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium, "Concerning the Revolutions of the heavenly Spheres". Copernicus modifies the Ptolemaic model as noticeable discrepancies become more apparent with the improvements in observational astronomy. Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) The Copernican Model of the Solar System The Sun and not the Earth, is at the center of the solar system HELIOCENTRIC universe. The earth does move, and like the other planets, orbits the sun. The orbital paths follow perfect circles. Explains retrograde motion of planets A more elegant model "On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres" 1. Earth is not the center of "everything." 2. All the Planets revolve around the Sun! 3. Stars are very much farther away than the Sun 4. Any motion of the stars is a result of the Earth's rotation 5. Any movement of the Sun is due to Earth's rotation and revolution about the Sun. 6. Retrograde Motion was much easier to explain. Retrograde Motion Planet's apparent path around sky. 6 6 5 5 4 3 Sun 3 2 2 1 Earth Outer Planet Earth overtakes slow outer planet so the outer planet appears to slow down, move in reverse, and then move forward again with respect to the fixed stars. 4 1 Fixed Stars Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) Devoted himself to astronomy after the total eclipse on August 21, 1560, and became a master of careful astronomical observation. Lost part of his nose in a duel and replaced it with a golden prosthesis. Tycho was so renowned that Kind Frederick II of Denmark gave him land and financed the construction of an observatory called Uraniborg. Made detailed naked eye observations of the motions of the planets. Coined the term NOVA for the observation of a supernova (Nova means "New Star") Showed that comets were distant objects rather than being phenomena of the Earth's atmosphere, as argued by Aristotle. In the course of 30 years, he had amassed the best astronomical data of the day. It was accurate to within 1 arc-minute! Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) When the King died, Brahe lost his patron and ended up leaving Denmark. He settled in Prague in 1599 as Imperial Mathematician of the Holy Roman Empire. He was joined there by a younger German astronomer, Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1630) Kepler became Tycho's student and disciple. Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642) "Eppur Si Muove" "(And, yet it moves!") 1610 "Siderius Nuncius" (The Starry Messenger) "Spots" on the Sun! The Moon has mountains, craters, rocky surface with imperfections! The "planet" Jupiter is not a pinpoint star – but a disc in the sky! WITH MOONS! Venus has "PHASES" like the MOON "Revealing great, unusual and remarkable spectacles, opening these to the consideration of every man, and especially of philosophers and astronomers…." SUNSPOTS Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642) Phases of Venus Galileo observed that Venus showed phases entirely like those of the moon from full to crescent, which it must do if the Copernican theory was correct and Venus orbits around the Sun. According to the Ptolemaic theory Venus would have to be a perpetual crescent. Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642) 1632: "Dialogo Dei Massimi Sistemi" He published his masterpiece, Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems, in which he had two people, one representing the view of Ptolemy and other the view of Copernicus, present their arguments before an intelligent layman. Galileo of course gave the Copernican the brilliant best of the battle. The Pope was persuaded that Simplico, the character who upheld the views of Ptolemy in the book, was a deliberate and insulting caricature of himself. The book was all the more damaging to those who felt themselves insulted, because it was written in vigorous Italian for the general public (and not merely for the Latin-learned scholars) and was quickly translated into other languages -- including Chinese! Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642) Scientific Martyr Teaches Heliocentric Ideas Claims "proof" for Earth's motion. Trial by Church (threatened with instruments of torture), forced to recant views (1633). Confined to house arrest. Formulates "new science" of mechanics. Loses his sight (blinded) by Sun observations Most influential combination of experimentalist and theorist world has ever seen. Often credited rightly with having started modern science. Heresy!! Galileo published experimental proof of a heliocentric universe in 1610. Six years later, the Catholic Church judged it heretical and banned it, as well as the work of Copernicus. Galileo defied the ban and published more work. The Holy Inquisition forced Galileo to recant this heresy under threat of death. Recantation They then placed him under house arrest for the rest of his life. Johannes Kepler's Work Advancing science, more than ethics, Kepler 'inherited' the observations upon the sudden and ironic death of Tycho Math skills - Kelper's skills were extraordinary. He could not reconcile Tycho's very careful observations with the Models of Ptolemy, Copernicus, nor Tycho!!! An Idea! Orbits are not Circles! His incredible effort took 29 years!! He waged a "war" on understanding the retrograde orbit of Mars. Heliocentric Model fits the observations best from a simple view point (Copernician) But *not* circular orbits. Ellipses! Kepler's Three Empirical Laws of Planetary Motion 1st Law: The orbital paths of the planets are elliptical, with the Sun at one focus Kepler's Three Empirical Laws of Planetary Motion 2nd Law: An imaginary line connecting the Sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time.. Area 1 90 days Area 2 90 days http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/circmot/ksl.cfm Kepler's Three Empirical Laws of Planetary Motion 3rd law: The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis. P2 (years) = A3 (astronomical units) 1 Astronomical Unit = The Earth-Sun Distance (98 million miles) Kepler's Third Law Object a (AU) P (year) a**3 P**2 Mercury 0.387 0.241 0.058 0.058 Venus 0.723 0.615 0.378 0.378 Earth 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 Mars 1.52 1.88 3.51 3.53 Jupiter 5.20 11.9 141. 142. Saturn 9.54 29.5 868. 870. Uranus 19.2 84.0 7,080. 7,060. Neptune 30.1 165. 27,300. 27,200. Pluto 39.5 248. 61,600. 61,500. So….. Orbits are ellipses The sun is one of the foci Eccentricity is a measure of how an orbit deviates from circular. A perfectly circular orbit has an eccentricity of zero; higher numbers indicate more elliptical orbits. Eccentricity of ZERO is a perfect circle Eccentricity of ONE is completely flat But!!….. Kepler did not know WHY planet's move as they do. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) Born in England on Christmas day. Fled London for the countryside to avoid the Bubonic Plague 1665 While home for 2 years with nothing to do he made his most profound discoveries and proposed his most startling theories. Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727) One of the most brilliant theoreticians to ever live. Explained why the planets didn't fly off into space. He formulated three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principals of Natural Philosophy) Better known as Principia. Time Marches On In 1684 – was in a discussion with Edmund Halley, when Halley remarked "But why do planet's move the way they do?" Newton astounded everyone with the answers ( from his work 20 years earlier!). "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" Newton's Three Laws of Motion The laws explained not only why planets move as they do, but why all objects move as they do. Newton's First Law Objects at rest continue at rest unless a "net force" is applied. Objects in uniform straight line motion continue in straight line motion unless a "net force" is applied to change their motion • Note: Newton's First Law Does NOT say… • This law does not say that every moving object has a "force" acting on it! • This law does not say an object at rest has "no force(s)" acting on it! Newton's Second Law The acceleration (change in motion) of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. a = Fnet/m OR Fnet = ma Newton's Third Law Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. "To every action there is an equal and opposite re-action." Law of Universal Gravitation Matter attracts matter F GM 1M 2 Gravity if the FORCE that causes objects to move! R 2

North Korea is one of the few countries still under communist rule, and probably the most isolated and unknown worldwide. This is a result of the philosophy of Juche – a political system based on national self-reliance which was partly influenced by principles of Marxism and Leninism.
In recent years though, the country has loosened its restrictions on tourism, allowing access to a limited number of visitors. With his personal photo series "North Korea – Vintage Socialist Architecture," French photographer Raphael Olivier reports on Pyongyang's largely unseen architectural heritage. ArchDaily interviewed Olivier about the project, the architecture he captured, and what he understood of North Korea's architecture and way of life.
