Post subject: Compairing this offseason to a game in 2012
First off, I love this time of the year, I love the coaching carousel, free agency, and I especially love the draft. However, I hate this time of year. There is absolutely no way this can be considered the off season. It can't be because what we are going through is just an extremely long game. This time of year is just like a Cowboys game from this last year. In the beginning we start off slow, just like with say the coaching staff. We may fumble the opening kickoff (Firing Rob Ryan), then we may fumble on the next drive (missing out on Ray Horton). After the fumble, we may have a flare up on the sideline between a player and coach (Good bye Skip Peete) At this point some people are ready to chalk this game (Team) up as a loss. But then we may make a heck of a defensive play that no one saw coming like an INT returned for a TD(Hiring Kiffin). After that we may even get a sack for a fumble and recover it on the next drive(Getting Maranelli). On the following drive we may have a perfect balance of run and pass and end the drive with a touchdown(Calahan calling plays). But you know someone isn't going to be happy with the play calling and start complaining about Bill(Thank You Tim Brown). But we all know that it can't stay good, someone is going to get a stupid penalty on 3rd and short, like perhaps an offsides penalty by Jay Ratliff. By this point people want the player cut and the coach staff fired(holding out hope for Horton, Gruden or Lovie).
But after all of this, none of it is going to matter until we see if we can finish. We may return the opening kickoff of the second half for a TD(Letting Decamilis go). At this point we may be looking good, but then we lose a player or 7 to injury (Salary Cap Problems), heck we may even get a player kicked out of the game for breaking a rule that doesn't exist (I Hate You Mara). But as bad as it seems the game (offseason) isn't over yet. We will pick up guys off the couch(Free agency). Some will play well (Ernie Sims, Brandon Carr), but some will quite simply not be very good (Anthony Armstrong, Guards). As it comes down to the 4th quarter(Draft) there is still reasons to be hopeful, those of you who haven't all ready burned anything the resembles blue and silver or kicked your dog across the room simply because you named him after a player or the team. This is where no matter what has happened prior, we will have a chance to win (Have a quality team). A few years ago, there would have been many dogs looking for new homes and children crying while daddy is in the driveway burning their favorite Cowboys blanket. But this is a different time, maybe even a different team(Person calling the shots in the war room). There is still hope for this team, as a matter of fact, there is 20 seconds left on the clock and Dez (The Cowboys) is jumping up to catch the winning touchdown (Selecting great players in the draft). The only question is will his(The Cowboys) finger land in bounds or out of bounds?

Marketing the Customer Experience: Balancing Technology and the Human Touch | Consumer Packaged Goods SIG
AMA Chicago
Tuesday, April 30, 2013 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Marketing the Customer Experience: Balancing Technology and the Human Touch
Join the Consumer Packaged Goods SIG on Tuesday, April 30th for a discussion on how innovative marketers balance technology with the human touch in order to create the best experience for their customers.
With consumers embracing smartphones and iPads in all aspects of their daily lives, it's not surprising that more and more service providers use the technology to enhance the customer experience. At the same time, McDonald's is bringing together unlikely collaborators from the disciplines of theater and design to help the world's largest foodservice provider connect more personally with customers.
Our guest speakers will share their experiences and the innovative ideas they've employed to measurably and positively impact the bottom line in consumer services.
Key takeaways include insight into how:
1. The design of the consumer service experience can be as important as the design of the product packaging for leading consumer brands.
2. Innovation in services marketing is often a collaboration of unexpected partners.
3. Marketing and educating employees is a critical driver to the success of new service offerings.
4. The right combination of technology and marketing creates positive customer experiences while the wrong mix can easily drive away customers.
5. Applying marketing and design principles to track results and improve the customer experience in a way that contributes to the bottom line is critical regardless of which innovation path you choose for your services.
5:30-6:00: Networking and refreshments
6:00-7:00: Presentation and Q&A
7:00-7:30: More networking and refreshments
Advanced registration is recommended as on-site registration will be $50 for both members and non-members.
Beer, wine and light appetizers will be provided.
Thank you to our sponsors, Catalyst Ranch and Binny's Beverage Depot.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by RatisBeast, Sep 6, 2004.
this probably doesn't belong here but look what's coming out soon.....click this
NFL Films picked the Ice Bowl for the Green Bay Packers version and the 92 NFC Championship for the Cowboys version. What great victories do the Eagles have as their one game?
4th and 26 ? LMAO
The Giants are getting their own collection too.
At least Giants have had some meaningful games.....
I liked this:
Customers interested in this film were also interested in these films:
Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith Theatrical Release (Rate it)
Alien Vs. Predator Theatrical Release ~ Sanaa Lathan (Rate it)
This leads me to believe all Eagles fans are dorks. They also thought Alien vs Predator was about former corner Al Harris.
Now where is the one about customers interested in this also enjoyed:
The Lessons of the Heimlich Manuever: How to prevent choking.
I think the Eagles should be renamed the Eisenhowers
Because it was the 2nd to last month of the Eisenhower administration they won their last NFL title..
While you're browsing Amazon, don't forget what gets released in two days:
Although the reviews are hardly promising.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"Are you kidding me?" asked a Sports Illustrated story in early 2003, shortly after autocratic Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hired equally autocratic Bill Parcells ("The Big Tuna") as head coach of his NFL franchise. It was a sentiment repeated throughout the world of professional football, a world in which the fortunes of the Cowboys had declined after three consecutive 5–11 seasons, and a world Shropshire seeks to expose in this uneven examination of the Cowboys' 2003 season. Shropshire (Seasons in Hell; etc.), a writer for Playboy, Sports Illustrated and Slate.com, takes a magnifying glass to the Cowboys' amazingly improbable 10–6 record in Parcells's first season. He plumbs coaching philosophies, quarterback controversies and locker-room gossip, seeking to understand the reason for the team's first trip to the playoffs since 1999. Shropshire pores over each game, and even transcribes the coach's public utterances. Inexplicably, though, he devotes little space to the relationship between owner and coach. Maddeningly digressive (containing meditations, at times lengthy, on subjects such as zombies, the 2012 Olympics, motivational speaking and hurricanes) and listlessly written ("[Flozell] Adams is a player of gigantic physical size"), the book will appeal to only the most devoted fans.

a "must have" for those who own the troy aikman coloring book "things change".
At least it has a happy ending...
latest tasteless offering by the farrelly brothers - alternative title "there's something about choking"...
Kicking your *** in the 1980 NFCCG or the three NFL Titles we have.
New both of those were coming AJM...
Anything more recent?
Oooooooo. Real good one. Those NFL Titles are not a Super Bowl. You still have on Super Bowls.
You still don't have a super bowl win.
Oh, you mean the game before you guys got your a**es kicked in the SB by the Raiders? The Eagles DO have all those other SB victories they can brag about though......or not. Yeah I think my grandfather saw the last championship the Eagles won. Talk regular season nonsense if you like, but not championships - because that's an argument you can't win around here.
See, I was right. Dorks.

Japanese Prison Gets Mascot [REALITY CHECK]
A Japanese prison is trying to up their public image and has decided a cuddly mascot is the solution. The Asahikawa Prison debuted "Katakkuri-chan", a 6-foot-6 mascot costume of a warden with a groovy purple flower in her hair.
Newser.com is reporting that officials hope the mascot will show that the Asahikawa Prison is not an insolated place where people are surrounded by grey walls and have no contact with society. In fact, they want people to know that the facility is open to (and supported by) society.

"Speaking as Chairman of the Board of Regents, this matter has been a distraction and a disruption of the important work of the Board of Regents, and has taken attention away from many positive accomplishments of our campuses and the board. It has tarnished the reputation of the board and the university, and we will work diligently to restore the public's confidence and trust. This is a great university, and we will move forward, continuing to serve the needs of our students, faculty, staff and the citizens of Nebraska. We look forward to the governor's appointment so that the entire state can again be represented on the board."
"Speaking as an individual Regent, the legislature and the courts designed and executed an extensive process, and I agree with the outcome. I have great confidence in the process and the people executing it, and I\'m ready to move on with the important work of the university and get this behind us."

We could tell you what this book was about, but then we'd have to kill you.
I read this book on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised. Characters that at first appear to be disconnected are almost always connected in some bizarre way. I'm still trying to figure out how one character knew about the main character's servant.
Overall, I'd give it four out of five stars, with the final star withheld because the narrator excessively points out "this is a mystery" and takes up page space by asking lots of questions.
Maybe a better indication about how much I liked the book is… (more)

Prompted by Scarborough, Stossel attacked Gore with Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity
On MSNBC's Scarborough Country, ABC's John Stossel attacked former Vice President Al Gore and delivered a stream of false and misleading claims on global warming. Noting that Gore "implies the argument" about global warming "is over," Stossel repeatedly attempted to downplay, obscure, or deny the threat posed by human-induced global climate change, as depicted in Gore's documentary film An Inconvenient Truth. In fact, the vast majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is occurring and that human activity is contributing to the problem.
On the June 28 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, ABC News 20/20 co-anchor John Stossel attacked former Vice President Al Gore and delivered a stream of false and misleading claims on global warming. Noting that Gore "implies the argument" about global warming "is over," Stossel -- at Scarborough's prompting -- repeatedly attempted to downplay, obscure, or deny the threat posed by human-induced global climate change, as depicted in Gore's documentary film An Inconvenient Truth [1]. But as Media Matters for America previously noted [2], the vast majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is occurring and that human activity is contributing to the problem.
Media Matters has previously debunked [3] similar global warming falsehoods advanced by Stossel while promoting his new book Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel -- Why Everything You Know is Wrong [4] (Hyperion, May 2006).
Stossel made his comments during a brief solo interview with Scarborough, and during a panel discussion also featuring Tyson Slocum [5], director of the Critical Mass Energy Program at the nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen. In introducing Stossel, Scarborough stated that he "believe[s]" in global warming. But throughout the segment, Scarborough offered Stossel opportunities to attack Gore, and agreed with some of his claims, at one point inviting him to "[c]lear up the myths, the lies, the downright stupidity that Al Gore and others may be giving Americans."
Claim #1: National Academy of Sciences left open possibility that global warming is caused by "all natural influences"
In response to Slocum, who stated that a June 22 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report [6] "conclusively proved that ... global warming is real" and is "the direct result of man-made developments," Stossel stated that the NAS report "said we can't rule out that this [climate change] is just natural." He claimed that the report's authors "said we think" global warming is "man-made," but that "we don't know" and "[w]e can't rule out that these are all natural influences." He further urged viewers to "look it up ... and read the whole [report] instead of the summaries from the liberal media." In fact, the report affirmed [7] the "scientific consensus regarding human-induced global warming," based on multiple "lines of evidence" supporting "the conclusion that human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming" of the Earth.
Produced in response to a request from Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), the report examined "the state of scientific efforts to reconstruct surface temperature records for the Earth over approximately the last 2,000 years and the implications of these efforts for our understanding of global climate change." The report noted [8] that although these temperature record reconstructions "are not the primary evidence for the widely accepted views that global warming is occurring, [and] that human activities are contributing, at least in part, to this warming," they "are consistent with other evidence of global climate change and can be considered as additional supporting evidence." Specifically, the report noted [9] that "the numerous indications that recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia ... supports the conclusion that human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." The report further stated that "the scientific consensus regarding human-induced global warming would not be substantively altered if, for example, the global mean surface temperature 1,000 years ago was found to be as warm as it is today."
Claim #2: Stronger 2005 hurricanes not the result of global warming
Scarborough began his interview of Stossel by attacking Gore's suggestion, in An Inconvenient Truth, that global warming contributed to the intensity and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes in 2005. In his accompanying book, An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It [10] (Rodale Books, May 2006), Gore noted a July 31, 2005, study [11] by MIT climatologist Kerry Emanuel that Gore said "supported the scientific consensus that global warming is making hurricanes more powerful and more destructive" [An Inconvenient Truth, p.92].
Scarborough also attacked the Associated Press, which published a June 27 article [12] in which 19 climate scientists who had seen the film largely agreed that it "conveyed the science correctly." The article acknowledged "concern" regarding "the connection between hurricanes and global warming," but noted that although "[t]hat is a subject of a heated debate in the science community," "Gore cited five recent scientific studies to support his view."
Scarborough stated that for Gore to assert that global warming is "causing hurricanes and it may have caused Hurricane Katrina" is "just ridiculous," adding that "there is no proof of that." Stossel agreed, claiming that "the serious scientists scoff" at those claims. He added that although "warmer water can encourage hurricanes," hurricanes "run in cycles" and "alarmists always want you to think it's man's fault." Following up on Stossel's remarks, Scarborough stated that "scientists all say" that hurricanes "go[] in cycles," yet "the AP" and "other news agencies seem to give Al Gore a free pass" on his claims of a link between global warming and more severe hurricanes. Stossel later agreed that although "it's possible" that global warming is increasing the intensity of hurricanes, Gore "cherry-picks information and ... the press is giving him a free ride."
In fact, a June 27 study [13] by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supported the link Gore suggested between global warming and the strong 2005 North Atlantic hurricane season. A June 22 press release announcing the study's findings stated that "[g]lobal warming accounted for around half of the extra hurricane-fueling warmth in the waters of the tropical North Atlantic in 2005, while natural cycles were only a minor factor." Specifically, the study found that "[d]uring much of last year's hurricane season, sea-surface temperatures across the tropical Atlantic between 10 and 20 degrees north ... were a record 1.7 degrees F above the 1901-1970 average," "global warming explained about 0.8 degrees F of this rise," while "[a]ftereffects from the 2004-05 El Nino accounted for about 0.4 degrees F," and a natural cycle in sea-surface temperatures "explained less than 0.2 degrees F of the rise." "The remainder [of the rise] is due to year-to-year variability in temperatures," according to the study.
Claim #3: Sen. Inhofe not "bought off" by energy interests
When Slocum asserted that Senate Environment and Public Works Committee chairman James Inhofe (R-OK) -- whose office has criticized [14] An Inconvenient Truth and the June 27 AP article reporting the scientists' defense of the film's science -- was "bought off by the oil and coal industry," Stossel accused Slocum of "the usual smear" of "[a]nybody who disagrees" with the idea of global warming, adding "I would like to see the payment." In fact, an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) shows [15] that from 2001 to 2006, Inhofe has received more campaign contributions from the oil and gas industries than from any other industrial sector -- more than $300,000. CRP also notes [16] that from 1989 to 2006, Inhofe received more campaign contributions from energy and natural resource interests than from any other sector (the finance sector was the runner-up) with total contributions from energy and resource interests approaching $1.3 million.
Claim #4: Global warming not "a crisis"
Stossel also suggested that global warming is not a "crisis." But as Media Matters for America noted [3] when Stossel previously downplayed the threat posed by global warming, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [17] (IPCC) concluded in 2001 that "[r]ecent regional changes in climate, particularly increases in temperature, have already affected hydrological systems and terrestrial and marine ecosystems in many parts of the world." Additionally, the IPCC Summary for Policymakers [18] (SPM) noted that, if global warming trends persist as predicted [19] over the next century, the impact on human systems could be catastrophic. "Projected adverse impacts" of climate changes, according to the IPCC, include [20]:
"[R]eduction in potential crop yields in most tropical and sub-tropical regions for most projected increases in temperature" and "in most regions in mid-latitudes."
"Decreased water availability for populations in many water-scarce regions, particularly in the sub-tropics."
"An increase in the number of people exposed to vector-borne (e.g. malaria) and water-borne diseases (e.g. cholera)."
The IPCC also noted [21] that "simple extremes," such as "[h]igher maximum temperatures; more hot days and heat waves over nearly all land areas" -- which are deemed "very likely"-- could result in some of the following:
"Increased incidence of death and serious illness in older age groups and urban poor."
"Increased heat stress in livestock and wildlife."
"Increased risk of damage to a number of crops."
"Increased electric cooling demand and reduced energy supply reliability."
The IPCC also asserted that "[m]ore intense precipitation events" are "very likely over many areas," resulting in:
"Increased flood, landslide, avalanche, and mudslide damage."
"Increased soil erosion."
Claim #5: U.S. "the cleanest country in the world"
When Scarborough gave Stossel an open invitation to "[c]lear up the myths, the lies, the downright stupidity that Al Gore and others may be giving Americans," Stossel claimed that although "we produce more carbon dioxide" than any other nation, the U.S. is "also the cleanest country in the world." Although Stossel did not identify his criteria for proclaiming the U.S. the "cleanest country," he made the pronouncement during a discussion of global warming, which is caused by CO2 and other gases. In addition to leading the world in CO2 emissions, as Stossel acknowledged, the U.S. has led the world [22] in overall greenhouse gas emissions - in both absolute and per-capita standards - for years. Data recently submitted by the U.S. to the United Nations (U.N.) Climate Secretariat and reported [23] in the media show that this trend continued through 2004, when U.S. greenhouse emissions reached a record high of 7.07 billion tons.
Claim #6: Activists fighting global warming are "socialists"
In response to Slocum, who noted that "China just implemented stronger fuel economy standards than the United States" and argued that "international cooperation" was necessary to combat global warming, Stossel replied: "Sounds like socialism to me." He later added that "at bottom," anti-global warming activism such as Gore's, is motivated by "a hatred of capitalism," and "a hatred of industrial production." He continued:
STOSSEL: As we get wealthier, the air gets cleaner, we can afford to do things that maybe, some day, if the globe is warming, we have to make adjustments. It's our wealth that will allow us to save the world. If we let these socialists control our lives, we'll all be worse off.
By Stossel's logic, newly confirmed [24] Bush Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson appears to qualify as a "socialist[]." As Media Matters noted [25], the investment bank Goldman Sachs and The Nature Conservancy, both of which Paulson chaired, urged mandatory reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. In its November 2005 [26] "Environmental Policy Framework [27]," Goldman Sachs stated that "[v]oluntary action alone cannot solve the climate change problem" and expressed a commitment to "work[ing] to develop partnerships with other organizations to help identify and promote effective and efficient regulatory/policy approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
Stossel has previously claimed that global warming is "another foolish media-hyped scare," as Media Matters documented [28]. In a December 10, 2004, 20/20 segment, Stossel reported on novelist Michael Crichton's book, State of Fear [29] (HarperCollins, December 2004), to present a one-sided view on the significance of global warming. During the segment, Stossel portrayed skepticism about global warming as just as scientifically valid as respectable scientific research and opinion showing that the climate is changing; misleadingly suggested that projections of the future global climate are comparable to a local news channel's "weather forecast"; and highlighted Crichton's claim that climate scientists have an incentive to exaggerate global warming in order to win grants.
From the June 28 edition of MSNC's Scarborough Country:
SCARBOROUGH: In his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore claims global warming will cause more flooding on a catastrophic scale if American politicians don't do something about it now. Those claims, along with Bill Clinton's charge that global warming is causing an increase in hurricanes, has senators and some scientists boiling mad. They claim Gore is getting a free ride from a passive press and selling the world junk science.
With me now to talk about it, John Stossel. He is a correspondent, of course, at ABC News and co-anchor of 20/20, he is also author of the still best-selling book, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. And John, I checked the Amazon.com and New York Times. That book is selling like hot cakes.
STOSSEL: Good. Maybe this will help.
SCARBOROUGH: You talk about global warming in there. You know, I tell you where I come from. I always tell my viewers I believe in global warming. I think it's happening. Fine.
But at the same time, for Al Gore and Bill Clinton to say that it's causing flooding, that it's causing hurricanes, and it may have caused Hurricane Katrina, that's just ridiculous, isn't it? There is no proof of that, is there?
STOSSEL: No. And the serious scientists scoff at that. The warmer water can encourage hurricanes, but they run in cycles. But the alarmists always want you to think it's man's fault so you will turn your life over to them and they can tell you what to do.
SCARBOROUGH: And by the way, I need -- when you talk about it going in cycles, you -- meteorologists, scientists all say that. I remember being warned in Florida five years ago about the next cycle, that from 1900 to 1945, we didn't have a lot of hurricanes -- or we had a lot of hurricanes. Then it slowed down for the next 60 years, and they said we're coming into a time where the water's going to start heating up again. And yet the AP, other news agencies seem to give Al Gore a free pass. Why?
STOSSEL: They do. And I went to the movie this weekend, and my wife and daughter, they both just believed every word. "Oh, my gosh, this is really happening."
SCARBOROUGH: My sons are, you know, trying to drag me to see it.
STOSSEL: And it's possible, but he cherry-picks information, and you're right, the press is giving him a free ride.
SCARBOROUGH: You know, the Republican senators sent a press release saying the Associated Press has made the claim that this passes muster with all the scientists that saw the film. That's not the case either, is it?
STOSSEL: No. I've talked to the scientists. Al Gore implies that the argument is over. There are no skeptics. Well, there are no skeptics about global warming. The globe is warming, but climate changes. Is man doing it? Is it a crisis? Would Kyoto do any good? No.
I mean, even if America signed Kyoto and if every country that did sign it obeyed it -- which they are not going to do -- and if China and India were included, which they are not, it would make hardly any difference. Even the proponents of Kyoto admit that.
SCARBOROUGH: Let's bring in Tyson Slocum. He is Public Citizen's director of energy programs. Tyson, jump in and get us, buddy. Where are we wrong?
SLOCUM: You are wrong on everything. I cannot believe how irresponsible these comments are coming from Mr. Stossel.
With all due respect, in November, the Republican chairman of the House Science Committee asked the National Academy of Sciences to settle this global warming debate once and for all, and two weeks ago the National Academy of Sciences, with a, the best scientists available in the United States, put together a report that conclusively proved that the -- that global warming is real. That we have the highest temperatures in the last 25 years over the last 400 years of recorded temperature history and that these rising temperatures are the direct result of man-made developments.
This is the National Academy of Sciences. I, I ask all the viewers out there to do a Google search and go to the National Academy of Sciences report. This misinformation campaign by the Luddite skeptics out there is the most irresponsible misinformation campaign since weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
SCARBOROUGH: Are you a Luddite [30]?
SLOCUM: Absolutely not. And this whole thing about Senator Inhofe in the Science Committee in the, in the United States Senate, saying that Al Gore's movie is ridiculous, that is also very irresponsible. And he is bought off by the oil and coal industry. The Republicans on that committee that issued that press release criticizes Gore.
STOSSEL: See, this is the usual smear. Anyone who disagrees is bought off by the oil and coal industry.
SLOCUM: It's true.
STOSSEL: I would like to see the payment.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, well, Tyson, I haven't gotten a dime. In fact, all I do is kick around and I, and I have you on the show and I spend most of my time kicking around oil companies, talking about alternative fuels, talking about how our energy policy is stupid. John, respond.
STOSSEL: Well, my earpiece fell out so I missed part of what he said, but the National Academy of Sciences report says, you know, we can't rule out that this is just natural. I wish people would look it up --
SLOCUM: They said --
STOSSEL: -- and read the whole thing instead of the summaries from the liberal media.
SLOCUM: They, they conclusively said it was man-made.
STOSSEL: They said we think man, man-made. Man is contributing to this, but we don't know. We can't rule out that these are all natural influences.
SCARBOROUGH: And, and, and Tyson, isn't that again -- you heard the beginning of this conversation with both John and I believe there is global warming, we just think Al Gore and others are being alarmists about it.
SLOCUM: There's no alarmist about the facts that are on the ground here. The fact is, is that NOAA [31], in the federal government, has shown that there is conclusive evidence that the tropical waters are getting warmer as a result of global warming and while that doesn't lead to more hurricanes, what it leads to is more intense, and and hurricanes, hurricanes that are more intense.
SCARBOROUGH: I think we all agree -- but, but isn't, isn't the problem in the end, though, Tyson, that even if America does that, even if Great Britain and the Western powers do that, you have China and India and these developing countries that don't have any environmental regulations and the pollution coming from that region is going to dwarf what the United States puts out.
SLOCUM: Well, actually, China just implemented stronger fuel economy standards than the United States has. So China is starting to understand it. They are starting to understand the ravages that their heavy reliance on coal is.
I am not holding up China as a model of, of environmental activism, but what the reality here is, is that the United States with less than 5 percent of the world's population, contributes to 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. China, with a billion and a half people contributes to14 percent. So what we clearly need is international cooperation and we cannot deny that global warming is a fact. .And we --
STOSSEL: Sounds like socialism to me.
SCARBOROUGH: All right. John, I'll give you the final word here. Clear up the myths, the lies, the downright stupidity that Al Gore and others may be giving Americans.
STOSSEL: Well, that took me 300 pages in the book. But let me just say that this, at bottom, it's a, a hatred of capitalism, a hatred of industrial production. Yes, it's true, we, we produce more carbon dioxide, but we are also the cleanest country in the world.
As we get wealthier, the air gets cleaner, we can afford to do the things that maybe, some day if the globe is warming we have to make adjustments, it's our wealth that will allow us to save the world. If we let these socialists control our lives, we'll all be worse off.
SCARBOROUGH: All right. We'll have to leave it there. You know, every time Tyson comes on, he's called a Marxist by [CNBC host] Jim Cramer.
STOSSEL: Jim Cramer called him that.
SCARBOROUGH: A socialist by you. Tyson, thank you so much. I appreciate you being with us. And I'll agree with you next time you are on the show. John Stossel, thank you so much. John, again, the author of Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. Thanks for being with us.

THE NEW US: We don't make New Year's resolutions on New Year's Day. It's not, after all, our new year; it's the calendar's new year. Our new year starts on our birthday, which - like we even need to tell you - is Jan. 12. It's nice having a dozen-day buffer to sort out our shortcomings and turn them into, what? Longcomings?
The problem is, most of our shortcomings are pretty much a part of us now. Morally, physically and mentally we're held together with a tangle of plumber's tape, jute twine and bungee cords. Tweak any part of that and the whole wobbly structure collapses. So the big-ticket resolutions - your health and fitness improvements and money-saving gimmicks - are all off the table.
In our quest for our 2013 resolution, we did what any responsible citizen would do: We asked our friends on Facebook how we could (even possibly) improve ourself.
Russ Parsons, L.A. Times food editor and our pal and frequent co-judge in culinary competitions, urged us to do/go: "MORE! FURTHER!," which makes us tired already, but his words are nevertheless ones to live by, especially translated into Latin: Supra! Amplus! (We only took two dreadfully inattentive and unretentive years of Latin taught by a Catholic brother who we think thought he was teaching Italian, so we could be way off. Don't carve it into marble).
Vicki Wigginton Carlew complained that we can't remember her last name, so we will work on that if she promises to meet us halfway and not keep getting married. Her brother Mark says our spit-take needs work, which it doesn't.
Charter Cable producer Ron Petke declares, rightfully, that we can't speak French.
Our education reporter Kelly Puente says we should resolve to go out drinking with her. (DENIED!)
Wayne Holder, who we've never heard of, merely writes, "Who are you again?"
And the mighty, mighty Bruce Mac Rae tells us there's not a damn thing wrong with us.
Not much there to work with. One thing we're toying with resolving is to answer more personal emails.
Lord knows it won't be easy, and ease is certainly what we're after, else how are we supposed to succeed? We get some pretty cockeyed email, and much of it requires us to do more research than we're comfortable doing for just one person.
If we're going to answer all our email, we'll have to grapple with people armed with wacky facts, such as a reader who recently responded to our column about the NRA madman Wayne LaPierre. The reader wrote to tell us that "During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!" Who among us has the time to respond sanely to that?
And there's "Snake," who writes, "I wish you to comment concerning Australia when the entire nation turned in their weapons, how come by the Australian government's own admission violent crime increased by a mear 5,000 percent in less than two years after people were disarmed?" We left "mear" alone because we didn't know if he meant "mere" or "near." Our comment would be a terse "What?!"
Easier to answer are readers with reasonable questions, even if we're not positive about the answers. Doug Haigh and his pals were discussing (at the Red Leprechaun on Anaheim at Termino, if you want to set the scene) what is Long Beach's oldest operating restaurant.
Haigh declared that the place can't have moved or closed for a lengthy period of time. "We thought of Nino's on Atlantic and Domenico's in Belmont Shore, although none of us would be surprised if it was some little Mexican place we've never heard of," writes Haigh.
Despite the fact that Nino's, which opened in 1958, calls itself the oldest restaurant in town (Kelly's in Naples, also established in 1958, calls itself the city's oldest steakhouse), we'd go with Domenico's, which was established in 1954. But don't chisel that into marble either. In fact, just put the chisel down before someone gets hurt.
Finally, our junior columnist colleague Rich Archbold demands that we do one nice thing for a different person every day of the year. According to our math handbook, that's 365 nice deeds for 365 people. You're talking Justin Rudd numbers now.
We gave it a try, bought our editor a coffee and three cookies and, frankly, we're exhausted now.
The thing that's nice about resolutions is you can edit them and amend them as you wish. We know someone who gave up all meat except bacon. Doesn't bother us at all.
So, we resolve (until such time that we grow overly weary of it) to answer reasonable emails, to pick up a little French, to try to remember Vicki's last name, whatever it is, and do something nice every once in awhile, though probably not until our birthday at the earliest.

Duke wide receiver Jamison Crowder (3) runs past North Carolina Central's Darius Spruill (51) to score a touchdown on a punt return during the Bull City Gridiron Classic NCAA college football Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013 at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C. Duke beat N.C. Central, 45-0. (AP/The Herald-Sun, Christine T. Nguyen)
by Jody McCreary
AP Sports Writer
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke wants to give Pittsburgh a warm welcome to life on the road in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Panthers make their first road trip in the ACC on Saturday when they visit a Blue Devils team looking to get past a discouraging loss to Georgia Tech.
Duke (2-1, 0-1) squandered much of the momentum of its first 2-0 start since 1998 with its 24-point loss to the Yellow Jackets.
"It wasn't any individual or any one thing. … It doesn't catch up with you until it catches up with you," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "We're putting a premium on how well we execute on both sides of the ball."
Neither team can afford to fall to 0-2 in league play and essentially have its Coastal Division chances evaporate just four weeks into the season.
Pitt (1-1, 0-1) bounced back from its lopsided opening loss to No. 8 Florida State by beating New Mexico 49-27. Now comes the Panthers' first test away from Heinz Field.
"You just embrace it and they have to go play somewhere different," coach Paul Chryst said. "It's going to be a new locker room. We have to just jump in."
Five things to know about Pitt's first visit to Duke since 1976:
PITT'S KIDS: Pitt seems to be going all-in with some of its freshmen. Freshmen score 37 of its 49 points last week against New Mexico, including two touchdowns apiece from WR Tyler Boyd and RB James Conner. Chryst says it's his job to put his best players on the field and is happy to have "a group that can help us."
CONNETTE CANNOT STRESS: Brandon Connette is making just his second start as a full-time quarterback and the Blue Devils insist he can't allow himself to shoulder too much of the burden for the team's performance. Cutcliffe says the team has not lost confidence in injured starter Anthony Boone's replacement despite a tough outing against Georgia Tech in which he took responsibility for Duke's 3-for-14 showing on third downs. Cutcliffe says he will "line up with Brandon Connette anytime because of who he is and how he's going to respond to adversity … There's no suffering in confidence in that regard."
GEORGIA WHO?: Duke is happy to forget all about Georgia Tech and its pesky triple option. The Blue Devils' defense seems eager to get back to dealing with an opponent that plays a more common style — like Pitt, a classic power-football team with a bulky offensive line and a pair of gifted receivers. Duke defensive end Kenny Anunike says the team is "getting back to just playing real football and just firing off" and adds that this is "how football's meant to be played."
PITT'S WRS: Pitt boasts one of the top receiving tandems in the ACC in Boyd and Devin Street, and that means a test for Duke CB Ross Cockrell and a secondary that last week allowed four touchdown passes to run-first Georgia Tech. Street is 17 catches shy of becoming the school's career leader while Boyd is the league's receiver of the week after his six-catch, 134-yard performance against New Mexico. Cockrell says he and Street became friends at the ACC's preseason media days and calls him "a very polished receiver."
HISTORY LESSON: These two schools do have a few ties. They met in the first game at Wallace Wade Stadium on Oct. 5, 1929, prompting Cutcliffe to quip that "they played that game and the stock market crashed." In between his two stints as Pitt's coach, Johnny Majors hired Cutcliffe as an assistant at Tennessee. And Duke assistants Kurt and Zac Roper are the sons of former Pitt assistant Bob Roper.

Wednesday's agenda covered a little bit of everything—educational sessions, a press conference, manufacturer booth meetings, and lots of (physical) ground. As a first-timer to the show, I'm encouraged by the scope of the discussions and the insight of attendees who represented all parts of the design-build process.
The day began with a panel discussion—"Dematerializing the Built Environment: In Theory & Practice"—during which panelists Howard Brown, co-founder of sustainability consultancy dMass, and Mark Loeffler, director of Atelier Ten, offered an alternative measure to square footage for project teams and building owners to use when evaluating the impact of their designs. By looking at a material's resource performance, Brown said, specifiers can measure the following: embodied mass (the inputs of energy, water, and materials needed for the product to do its job), end-user benefits (the reason consumers purchase the product), and naked value (the product's essence sans excess embodied mass).
When the supply chain starts using those metrics, cool stuff happens. Brown cited a number of products and processes—including living materials, regenerative structures, biomimicry, and lightweighting—that come as an outcome of revaluating products' and structures' embodied mass. Among them: Ecovative's mushroom insulation, MIT Media Lab's Silk Pavillion, and Sharklet Technologies' resilient surface that mimics the characteristics of shark skin.
Today marks the official announcement of the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED v4 and of the organization's partnership with Underwriters Laboratory (UL). USGBC will work with UL to develop Environmental Product Declarations for a range of structural and finish building materials—helping to improve transparency in building-product manufacturing while also forcing the supply chain to more critically examine and take accountability for how a product is made. So far, major manufacturers are stepping up. CertainTeed announced seven Health Product Declarations covering 24 of its ceiling products, while both USG and GAF released Environmental Product Declarations for a selection of their respective product lines.
"We know that you make trade-offs when you make decisions about building materials," USGBC senior vice president of LEED Scot Horst told members of the press during the organization's press conference announcing the updated certification system yesterday. "We want people to make tradeoffs in a new way."
The day wasn't without its inspired displays of material reuse. Here's an artist carving an image of a two-dollar bill into a sheet of USG's drywall.
Editor's note: Our parent company Hanley Wood recently entered into a strategic partnership with USGBC regarding the management of the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo. For more information on that relationship, click here.

Michael Kors Fall 2012
The state of next fall, if you've been following the last few days of shows here in New York, is emblazoned with the message that more is more, and more is definitely more when it's piled on from head to toe. The "total look," in fashion speak, where your entire outfit is heavily and riotously accessorized. These more minimal times—even if clothes as of late have been surfaced with digitalized prints and saturated with neon color, little else has been added to them in the way of accessories—may require you to explore hitherto untried talents at stylistically juggling hats, hair ornamentation, and jewelry galore, and that's before you've as much as put on a boot or picked up a bag. Thank goodness, then, for the exuberant comfort and easy joie de vivre of Michael Kors, whose fall is an object lesson in feel-good, look-good fashion.
With this collection, Kors had been thinking about the likes of the casually, yet elegantly attired society swans in photographer Claiborne Swanson Franks's book American Beauty, and a recently published tome dedicated to the style of Gary Cooper. That took him on the trail to a look that is cozy-log-cabin-in-the-Adirondacks chic, as inhabited by a thirties Broadway showgirl. There were huge belted furs, sleeveless peacoats, masculine red-and-black blanket-plaid greatcoats, variously worn over chunky cable-knit sweaters (next fall, if it looks hand-knitted, it looks right), long, lean skirts in mohair-dusted lace, black biker/ski pants (one of the rare examples of leather trousers actually working this week), and lace slips and slippery bias-cut satin dresses (this is where the Broadway gal comes in).
For all of the emphasis on a big, enveloping layer over something smaller and more defined underneath, it never got heavy and cumbersome here, simply because Kors worked hard to make sure everything had a feathery, light-as-air quality to it. (A studio visit a few days before the show verifies the truth of his claim.) And while not to say that Kors is a stranger to the joys of adding to a look—he had some great accessories, like furry picture hats, handheld framed doctor bags, and Mary Janes resting on gleaming metallic chunky high heels—in the end, none of them require any effort to understand, or wear. Kors likes his message to be simple: Throw it on, enjoy it, and get on with living your life.

Notes from Monday's PIJIP Event on "Copyright From an International Perspective"
Matilda Bilstein
September 24, 2009
At PIJIP's event, "Copyright from an International Perspective," WCL Professors Michael Carroll and Peter Jaszi were joined by Michele Woods, Senior Counsel for Policy and International Affairs at the Office of Policy and International Affairs at US Copyright Office.
Click here to view the webcast.
Jaszi began the panel with a quick introduction to copyright law and
the international copyright system. He discussed copyright law's early
beginning in eighteenth century England and its gradual spread
throughout the world, culminating in the TRIPS Agreement. The adoption
of TRIPS demonstrated the interest of copyright holders in subsuming
intellectual property rights within the larger framework of
international trade norms.
According to Jaszi, international copyright treaties address three main issues: international recognition of rights across borders based on national treatment; minimum standards for copyright protection; and the limitations to copyrights. When it comes to copyright limitations, countries that are net exporters of copyrighted goods negotiate with the goal of raising copyright protection standards up to those found in their own laws. However, these countries (such as the US and Great Britain) do not emphasize the limitations on rights found in their own laws, such as fair use and fair dealing provisions. These limitations are important because the next generation of creators and culture-makers need reasonable levels of information access.
However, this may be changing. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which functions as a UN Secretariat for international intellectual property treaties like the Berne Convention, is required to allow input from all stakeholders. This includes input from developing countries and the NGO-based access to knowledge movement which urges WIPO to think about the need for international norms for limitations and exceptions to copyrights.
Furthermore, WIPO's Agenda Setting body, the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights, is opening discussions on new norms for specific limitations to copyright in areas like educational use, transformative use, and use by specialized communities. The first issue on its agenda is limitations and exceptions to copyright for the purpose of enhancing access to copyrighted work for the hundreds of millions of people who are blind, have had strokes, or have learning disabilities.
Next, Ms. Woods discussed the role of the US Copyright Office in the international copyright system. Its Office of Policy and International Affairs works with Congress and agencies in the executive branch, such as the Departments of State and Commerce, and the US Trade Representative. The Office's international work is divided up into different areas: (1) bilateral relationships with other countries regarding copyright issues; (2) representation of the US in international organizations; (3) domestic policy issues that intersect with international ones; (4) international treaties like WIPO and the Berne Convention, especially as they relate to audiovisual works and new technologies; and (5) involvement in international trade issues – including advice on enforcement issues that come up under various treaty obligations. The Office is working on a number of issues regarding the blind and visually impaired and the US national experience. It is also working to enhance copyright protection for audiovisual works and broadcast signals. Additionally, the Office is involved in policy debates regarding orphan works legislation and the Google Book Search settlement.
Professor Carroll discussed the effect of the internet on the copyright system. The internet is a global medium that does not recognize the system of national boundaries, and issues arise when an international legal system that relies on national borders and territorial treatment of cultural works meets these new technologies. The US has moved away from copyright registration formalities and towards more automatic copyrights, and digital technology has allowed for the production, consumption, and distribution of millions of works of all types. A problem arises with the copyright system's one-size-fits-all approach, which treats these different types of works as equally copyrightable and grants them the same terms of protection. Carroll co-founded a group called Creative Commons, which pointed out that one size does not fit all, and that many creators have different motivations for their works and the amount of control they want over it.

Police have not produced evidence associating the Bentley or the Houston entrepreneur with the crime.
Richards swoops in, telling Brian to record something in the town square, and elopes with Anita in his Bentley.
Dara hurled herself under the repossessed Bentley, and poor Betty-Anne collapsed into the trash from whence she came.
In his place in the Queen's glass-sided Bentley was the Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Farnham.
But his subject turned on him—a six-mile trek through a blizzard lead to pneumonia, costing Bentley his life on December 23, 1931.
Bentley has but a scant population, and contains not a single inn.
Mr. Bentley had just driven into the yard with the new summer boarder.
This was the first time Mrs. Bentley had seen him show either excitement or anger; she hardly knew him in this new aspect.
It was Bentley, the most disgusted man at the post, who now came to the rescue.
Three days after, Emily tore up one of her songs, because Mrs. Bentley had sung it without her leave.

Paging JJ Hoover, paging JJ Hoover.
Ondrusek continues to get worse and worse. A few of my fellow RedsZoners called it months ago. Said he was horrible and his stats were a mirage.
Yep, pretty much. He's been dreadful lately. Amazing that Hoover is not on this team. He's been almost unhittable in Triple-A (and was good in his brief stint with the Reds). Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Unacceptable. One million years dungeon.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Make it stop...please.
Hoover yesterday please. And get Simon out of the mop up role.
Why does Dusty keep forcing Ondrusek into high leverage innings? He belongs in AAA anyway but to use him in a high leverage situation is ridiculous.
Square peg, round hole.
Ondrusek is probably going to be eligible for arbitration following the season. Anyone looking forward to the big raise he's going to get?
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
The argument was that he doesn't K anyone, and that he walks way too many. Meaning, he really doesn't have any true skills (relatively speaking). He has relied on an extremely lucky BABIP, and a HR/FB rate that was unsustainable. Not all that shocking to see him give up a decisive home run tonight. Only problem is he didn't have Stubbs to bail him out like he did in Houston.
The argument is that he doesn't have true skills. His critics were not correct "for the wrong reason". I'll say the same exact things about Logan than I would if he would have gotten Soriano to ground into a double play. He has zero elite skills. He's a below average reliever. He's below a replacement level reliever.
Logan is so bad, that his luck STILL hasn't truly regressed to the mean on his BABIP, and he's still found a way to blow recent games to the two worst teams in the NL. He's a AAA arm. I don't mean to harp on Logan, I really don't. He is who is he. The manager that keeps putting him in these ridiculous situations is the man to blame. Taking out your 2nd best reliever for your 2nd worst is completely and 100% unacceptable. Don't gimme the lefty vs. righty crap. It's unacceptable. I said it well before this happened that this needed to stop. I was mocked and ridiculed. Now, the blood is on your hands Dusty.
Oh, and I gave up on the game thread we had from last week where you were trying to make the case that Ondrusek could control his BABIP because I was out of town this weekend, but if you could show your work on that one, that would be great.
Blame Dusty. He has the best bullpen in the business and he continues to put Logan out there. Great God, the man has no judgment. As this point, I have no idea. To understand Baker is to be insane.

How to Buy a Steak
Just off the boat from Amsterdam, this Dutch brew is Bols Genever's tall, dark, and mysterious older brother. Brewed from a 19th-century genever recipe, the malt wine-based spirit is infused with juniper, among other botanicals, rested in new and old French Limousin oak, and bottled in hefty earthenware jugs. Treat the stuff like a whiskey and make a Manhattan or a bramble with plums and cranberries. $50
Triple sec is one of the most indispensable ingredients in one's home bar, but a good one makes all the difference. The team behind Xocolatl Mole bitters infused their citrus liqueur with grapefruit and gentian instead of orange, rendering it slightly more floral, a tiny bit bitter, and absolutely perfect in a Collins. $24

Ten days ago, Long Beach State Athletic Director Vic Cegles was admitted to the hospital to have an appendectomy. A few hours into that ordeal, he learned that he was also losing his school president, Dr. F. King Alexander.
"Which hurt worse?" he was asked at Saturday's 20th anniversary reunion of the 1993 Dirtbag baseball team at Blair Field.
"Losing the president," he said.
"Then I had to watch the basketball game from the hospital on Wednesday."
The score of that game, the men's basketball NIT first-round loss to Baylor, was 112-66. The score was misleading; the Bears easily could have scored 130, and 49er head coach Dan Monson let Kris Gulley and Deng Deng play and they combined for 20 points.
Clearly, it was a moment - a week - when Cegles had every right to ask for a morphine drip.
There's been speculation for a few years that the athletic friendly Dr. Alexander would exit Long Beach State sooner rather than later. He's a young, energetic college president with friends in high places, and he was clearly irked by the governance of the state of California regarding education.
Here's a fellow who pitched affordable education and caught nothing but flak when the state, mired in its perpetual budget crisis, squeezed education and raised tuition.
"I thought I would have him a little bit longer," Cegles said. "We have some things on the table, so we'll see what we can get done (before he leaves)."
Dr. Alexander isn't leaving for some sideways promotion. He's headed to LSU, where his only financial concerns for athletics will be having a staff that can count.
It leaves Long Beach State athletics once again grasping at its future, wondering if the new president will be someone athletics-friendly or someone who will look at sports as just a line item on the budget.
It's not a good time for the CSU system. Twelve of the 23 CSU schools have hired a new president since 2011, so Long Beach State will be lucky No. 13.
The reshaping of the presidential roster has much to do with California's problems. Even CSU Chancellor Charles Reed decided to retire.
Only eight CSU schools continue to play Division I sports, and five have new presidents. Only two of the new CEOs have extensive experience at a major D-I school, and their work there was far removed from any playing fields. Cal Poly's president spent some time at Big Ten schools but his field is agriculture. Northridge's president was at Florida State and her field of expertise was social work.
The most recent jobs for three of them were at lower division CSU schools - Dominguez Hills, Monterey Bay, and East Bay. It's safe to say the new hires didn't use athletics as a plank of their campaign.
I'd say its a pivotal time for Long Beach State, but there always seems to be some pivotal issue for athletics, so perhaps I'm just jumpy.
But the school does finally have a good men's basketball coach - the NIT result is no referendum on Monson - and he's probably already on the short list at schools with vacancies.
It has a good women's basketball coach, too, in Jody Wynn who has a USC pedigree, and major schools are obliged to be competitive these days. The baseball program has a major, high-cost renovation of Blair Field on the table at the same time that the team is in its recession.
The current administrative staff is stretched thin and several sports are operating at less than 100 percent funding. Time Magazine just ran a story about run-amok increases in athletic fees at universities, and instead of taking the BCS schools to task for their bloated budgets, it focused on the mid-majors.
Dr. Alexander could help by recommending a replacement he knows will stay the course, but with a new chancellor, whose last job was as president at UC Riverside, who's to say anyone will listen to him?
Right now, he's just the latest guy to jump the CSU ship.
If the changeover here is consistent with other CSU changes, the school will be looking at more than an appendectomy.

Karl Rove Selectively Chooses Unemployment Statistics To Downplay Obama's Jobs Record
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Karl Rove selectively chose unemployment statistics to portray President Obama's jobs record as a failure. However, unemployment has declined from its peak during the most recent recession and millions of jobs have been created since the recession's ended.
In the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Rove claimed that the unemployment rate is higher today than when the president first took office:
As President Obama prepares to be sworn in a second time, it's a good moment to consider the state of the union during his era.
As of his first inaugural, 134.379 million Americans were working and unemployment was 7.3%. Four years later, 134.021 million are working and unemployment is 7.8%.
But in his December 1, 2011, Journal op-ed, Rove wrote used a different unemployment rate for the beginning of Obama's term:
For another, Mr. Obama lacks the record on jobs of either Mr. Truman or Mr. Roosevelt. Unemployment was at 7.8% when Mr. Obama took office. It's 9% today and is forecast to remain there through 2012.
Rove is applying the December 2008 unemployment rate of 7.3 percent -- a month when Obama was not president -- to Obama's economic record in his January 16 post to make it appear that Obama's jobs record is a failure, while using the January 2009 unemployment rate of 7.8 percent to mark the start of Obama's economic record in his December 2011 post.
But the unemployment rate has declined from its height during the recession, and millions of jobs have been added in the private sector since the end of the recession.

Puddle Of Mudd's Wes Scantlin Sued
Listen to Puddle of Mudd on iHeartRadio
Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin apparently has some songwriting to do.
Cleopatra Records filed a lawsuit against the rocker in Los Angeles on Tuesday, claiming he failed to give them the new songs he promised to deliver. Scantlin supposedly entered into an agreement with the label back in February. His management company got a $45,000 advance in exchange for ten new songs and four re-recordings of old Puddle of Mudd hits.
But the agreed-upon due date has come and gone, and Cleopatra says they still haven't received the music. They're now seeking at least $45,000 in damages for breach of contract and fraud.

The latest from the alt-country singer-songwriter is an excellent live album recorded at shows in Chicago and Toronto earlier this year. While most live albums are comprised mainly of songs the artist has previously recorded, most of the songs here haven't been recorded by Neko until now. Accompanied by Toronto roots-rockers the Sadies and steel guitarist Jon Rauhouse, she masterfully tackles a variety of covers ranging from the Shangri-Las and the Nervous Eaters to Loretta Lynn and Buffy Sainte-Marie along with four of her own songs, two of which are new. 10/19/2004 - Don Yates
