ASPAR Team - Report - The Final Victory Of A Champion

ASPAR Team - Report - The Final Victory Of A Champion
âIt is twenty years ago now but when I think about my races they feel like only yesterday. I can still remember which gear I took in which corner at every circuit. I even surprise myself.â
âIt is twenty years ago now but when I think about my races they feel like only yesterday. I can still remember which gear I took in which corner at every circuit. I even surprise myself.â These are the words of one of the greatest World Champions of all time, Jorge MartÃnez âAsparâ. This season is the twentieth anniversary of his final victory, in Argentina, a country that welcomes the return of motorcycle Grand Prix racing this weekend. Asparâs last ever win came in the capital city of Buenos Aires, whilst this weekend's racing takes place many miles away at the remote but spectacular Termas de RÃo Hondo circuit.
It is impossible for the Spanish legend to forget that moment in Argentina, the final time he stepped onto the top of a World Championship podium. Not that he knew it at the time, of course, but that win would be the cherry on the cake of an incredible career and a statistic that would go down in history. The season was 1994: âA year I remember very fondly. We did a great job, enjoyed ourselves a lot and had some good results although the victory was very hard to come by,â reflects âAsparâ.
Yamaha were as honest as their bikes: reliable, with good acceleration but a top speed deficit to their great rivals Honda of almost twenty kilometres per hour. It was a handicap that would prove almost impossible to overcome, even for the best rider in the world. âAsparâ knew that the strength of his machine was in the chassis, perfect for the faster corners, and stable under heavy braking. If there was one thing he was good at it was braking and with certain limitations on engine performance it was clear that this would be his greatest weapon.
The GP of Argentina was the penultimate round of the season (25/09/1994) and the Japanese factory had no plans to bring any radical updates for the bike with the end of the year in sight. It was a case of getting the most out of what they had. âBack then you didn't have the option to vary the angle of the front fork.â The only way to do it was to cut the shank that holds the front suspension and then weld it back together.
It was a drastic move that they had been considering all season - a terrible tactic according to the Japanese, a risky one worth making according to âAsparâ and his crew of technicians. Going against the advice of an engineering giant like Yamaha, the week before departing for Argentina they took a saw, cut the chassis and opened the steering angle, welding it back together again.
âAsparâ was famed for the precision of his riding and it took him just a few laps to assess his 'new' chassis when practice got underway on the Friday. It was a hectic weekend, with just a few sessions to set up a new chassis and decide which tyre would work best on a track surface that was smooth but extremely slippery. Whilst the majority of riders chose a soft option to gain grip, âAsparâ went for a harder compound and used his skill and feel to control the machine as it slid through the corners.
On Sunday the race gets underway and a group of five forms at the front (âAsparâ, Ueda, Perugini, Scalvini and Alzamora), battling throughout the race until with two laps to go the Spaniard and Noboru Ueda make a break from the pack. Two of the most seasoned riders on the grid, with thousands of kilometres under their belts, use every second of their experience to pass each other twice, three, four or even five times on the final 4.350km of the race. Ueda uses the extra power of his engine to make up ground on the straights, whilst âAsparâ uses every bit of track to make it up on the brakes. âHe was passing me on the straights but I would get him back in the next corner. I was braking later and I had a better line than Noboru, but back then the Hondas were so fast, it was difficult to match them. It was a spectacular finish and neither of us had a clear plan.â
With two corners to go Ueda has one hand on the winner's trophy but âAsparâ has a point to prove and with one last attempt on the brakes he makes a final overtake in the final corner. In his desperation to recover a victory he thought was his, Ueda makes a desperate lunge, there is contact, but it's too late. The race already has its winner. âThat race, more than any other, it was a question of all or nothing. Winning was the only option.â As Jorge MartÃnez âAsparâ crossed the line, a smile of satisfaction etched on his face, a well known Japanese engineer shed a tear back in the garage as his methodical, precisely engineered package was butchered and improved by a moment of improvised genius. Japanese cordiality and Latin passion embraced in parc fermé, their contrasting styles and expertise having combined perfectly to turn a supposedly inferior 125cc Yamaha into a machine capable of toppling the all-powerful Honda.
He who dares wins. Aspar's story is one of many victories â thirty-seven to be precise â in wet, dry and windy conditions on every kind of circuit imaginable. Twelve of them came with less than a second's winning advantage, demonstrating the bravery, the tenacity and adaptability of a rider with one eye always on victory: Jorge MartÃnez âAsparâ. How could he forget that last one in Argentina? One of his greatest, and without doubt one of his most magical.

Media Hypes Manufactured Iran Optimism (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Omri Ceren 05/23/12)

Commentary Magazine
Commentary Magazine Articles-Index-Top
Last Monday, Geneive Abdo who is the director of the Iran program at the Middle East Institute in Washington, and who will never be mistaken for a neocon described optimism emerging from the P5+1 talks as a pretense designed to buy time to avert a unilateral attack by Israel and buttress Obamas wish to get through the November election.
Abdo specifically cited statements made by Saeed Jalili, head of Irans Supreme National Security Council and Irans chief nuclear negotiator, to the effect that Irans national resistance had put the country on an irreversible nuclear path. A few days later Reuters passed along IAEA information indicating Iran has installed 350 new centrifuges at its underground Fordow facility. (In February the IAEA reported that Iran already tripled its output of 20 percent uranium at Fordow, but apparently the Iranians concluded that wasnt enough.) Perhaps as a kind of exclamation point, Iran also held military maneuvers this week ostensibly aimed at global arrogance.
And then as if to prove Abdos point about pretenses, the New York Times headlined its article yesterday as Iran Talks Are Extended as Signs of Common Ground Are Seen. But even the Times, which has been doing yeomans work helping the Obama administration minimize Irans drive for a nuclear weapon, had to open with the observation that there was no actual evidence of common ground. Luckily, the paper managed to track down an anonymous administration source to assert it exists. Very convenient, and good enough for a headline:
Iran appeared to balk Wednesday at a detailed proposal presented by six world powers to address urgent concerns about its nuclear program, including a freeze on its enrichment of uranium that could be converted to bomb-grade fuel, because of what the Iranian side suggested was an insufficient easing of sanctions in exchange.
But after a long day of diplomatic negotiations, both sides agreed to keep talking into Thursday. A senior American official said that despite disagreements some common ground had been reached, suggesting that diplomats had extended the constructive atmosphere that has prevailed since the talks on Irans disputed nuclear program were resumed last month.
Were getting to things that matter, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the talks. Even if we disagree on the shape, we think there is the beginning of a negotiation.
Thats really what passes for a constructive atmosphere these days, isnt it? Irans lead negotiator preemptively closing the door on compromise, Irans military holding war games aimed at P5+1 members, and the West pretending that none of that is true. Despite little progress, by the by, the next round of negotiations have been set for mid-June in Geneva. Its almost difficult to understand why the Israelis have no confidence in the talks.

The negotiations began shortly after El Camino announced on Aug. 12 that it would be laying off approximately 140 employees, citing the slumping economy and shrinking patient volumes. The hospital's two labor organizations — the Service Employees International Union and Professional Resource for Nurses — began working with El Camino administration in an effort to keep their members employed, representatives from each union said.
Those efforts have been largely successful, according to Velvet Hazard, an SEIU representative. Hazard said all 119 service workers who received notices that they might be laid off will remain working for the hospital. "I'm happy with where we ended up," she said.
"Considering the fact that I was on the list myself, I was very happy," said Nicole Bryand, a member of the SEIU.
Bryand said that negotiations between her union and El Camino administration went very smoothly. "Management really went out of their way to try to avoid the layoffs as much as possible. Ultimately, instead of laying off, they reorganized."
Bryand explained that while some departments in the hospital were overstaffed, others were understaffed, and many employees simply left their prior position for another.
Patricia Briggs, president of Professional Resources for Nurses, said 16 members of her union voluntarily resigned. The rest of the nurses who were notified that they might lose their jobs will remain as nurses within the hospital. Some have moved to other positions and reduced their weekly hours.
Briggs said she was pleased that the nurses who wished to stay at El Camino were able to do so. "There was a great deal of respect for the nurses in a difficult situation," she said.
Neither union made concessions on pay or benefits.
Other hospital employees not represented by the SEIU or PRN have been or will be let go, however, said hospital spokeswoman Chris Ernst.
Ernst said El Camino is pleased with the number of employees that were able to stay on board at the hospital.

U.S. bombs Taliban-held
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Taliban leader
Mullah Mohammed Omar has reportedly agreed to leave his headquarters in Kandahar
and turn over the southern city to two local Pashtun leaders. U.S. officials said
Osama bin Laden's military chief was believed to have been killed in an American
airstrike. The Afghan Islamic Press, a Pakistan-based agency, said Omar agreed
to leave Kandahar within 24 hours and head for the mountains following discussions
with ''close friends and army commanders.'' But at the Pentagon, Rear Adm. John
Stufflebeem said he didn't put much stock in the report, which could not be independently
don't believe it," Stufflebeem told a news conference. "I think that our forces
who are there are still operating under the assumption that it is a hostile environment.
I think the opposition groups are operating in the same way."
military chief who was apparently killed, Mohammed Atef, was a close confidant
of bin Laden, and his daughter was married to bin Laden's son. U.S. officials
suspect him of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon as well as the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in
The report about Omar came after U.S. warplanes
struck positions near Kandahar and the northern city of Kunduz the Islamic
militia's two principal remaining strongholds on Friday, the first day
of Ramadan.
Under the reported deal, control of Kandahar
will pass to Mullah Naqibullah and Haji Basher, two former commanders of Afghan
resistance forces in the war against Soviet invaders who are not members of the
Basher is close to Yunus Khalis, a Pashtun
leader who took over the northeastern city of Jalalabad this week. Pashtuns are
Afghanistan's largest ethnic group, and served as the backbone of the Taliban's
harsh five-year regime.
The latest U.S. bombardment
in Afghanistan came despite earlier calls from some Muslim nations including
key ally Pakistan for restraint during Islam's holy month.

Khan, adding that U.S.-led military operations would continue until aims were
Hardline Islamic groups staged small pro-Taliban
rallies in major Pakistani cities on Friday, criticizing President Gen. Pervez
Musharraf for supporting the United States in the war. Only 800 to 900 protesters
turned out in the capital, Islamabad.
Even before Ramadan
began, U.S. planners had signaled a change in tactics following the rout of the
Taliban in much of the country over the past week. American commanders have said
that raids will now be more tightly targeted, aimed at bin Laden and the top Taliban
That strategy could be paying off.
U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was
credible evidence that Atef, the No. 3 figure in bin Laden's al-Qa'eda network,
was killed by an airstrike in the capital, Kabul, in the past two days. But another
U.S. official said Atef's body has not been located.
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, speaking at a news conference in Great Lakes, Ill.,
said reports of Atef's death "seem authoritative."
Pentagon officials had said some senior Taliban and al-Qa'eda leaders had been
killed in recent days, but had offered no names. Taliban spokesman Mohammed Taher
Agha, in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corp. on Friday, dismissed
those earlier assertions as "baseless."
Rumsfeld said
U.S. special forces have been involved in ground combat, killing Taliban and al-Qa'eda
fighters. No Americans have died in the operations, he said.
Pentagon chief also said high-level Taliban leaders have been captured by opposition
Afghan forces and that American officials were planning to interrogate them.
forces have been besieging Kandahar, the Taliban's home base, but eyewitnesses
and even an anti-Taliban leader had said the Islamic militia's troops still appeared
to have a firm grip on the southern Afghan city.
Taliban still have a strong hold on Kandahar. They are digging in," said a spokesman
for Pashtun tribal leaders organized as an anti-Taliban force, who spoke on condition
of anonymity.
The spokesman estimated that 70% of Taliban
commanders have chosen to follow Omar's call to keep fighting, while 30% don't
want to fight.
In other developments:
British troops arrived at the Bagram airfield, north of Kabul, on what the Ministry
of Defense said was a mission to prepare the facility for use in a future humanitarian
mission. France sent its first contingent of soldiers to northern Afghanistan
on Friday as part of an international effort to help secure the area for the delivery
of humanitarian aid.
al-Qa'eda had a formula
for making ricin, one of the deadliest known poisons, The Times of London newspaper
reported Friday. The Times said it found instructions for making the biological
chemical ricin an untraceable poison that is twice as deadly as cobra venom
in an al-Qa'eda safehouse in Kabul.
American women arrested three months ago for preaching Christianity in Afghanistan
described their ordeal a day after being rescued by anti-Taliban and U.S. forces
in southern Afghanistan. One of the freed women, 24-year-old Heather Mercer, called
it a "Hollywood" rescue.
Five British Muslims
have been killed along with scores of other foreign volunteers fighting for the
Taliban in northern Afghanistan, officials of Islamic militant groups said Friday
in Islamabad.
Aides to Afghanistan's former king

On a charge of shoplifting she was given an indeterminate sentence of one to ten years in the penitentiary at Joliet.
In cases of the worst type the indeterminate sentence would doubtless resolve itself into detention for life.
It is unnecessary to say in a law journal that the indeterminate sentence is a measure as yet untried.
In a recent article in the Outlook, he enters a plea for safeguarding the "indeterminate sentence" for convicted criminals.
If but a small degree of criminality exist, the safest adjustment of punishment is to be found in the indeterminate sentence.
For this inequality and injustice the indeterminate sentence furnishes the necessary relief.
A few months in the Bastile, and Voltaire's indeterminate sentence was commuted to exile.
The first of these is the indeterminate sentence now generally in practice in the United States.
The principle of the indeterminate sentence is the creation of the indeterminate mind.
From every point of view the indeterminate sentence in the case of those sent to reformatories appears the most reasonable.

Rex Skeleton, Complete At Last By Christopher Joyce • Sep 13, 2011 The back rooms of museums are like your grandparents' attic, only the stuff is more exotic — things like fossilized jellyfish, dinosaur eggs, or mummified princes. And if you look carefully, you'll find objects that once changed science but are now largely forgotten. You might call them Lost Treasures of Science. This is a story of one of those objects — a special bone that's part of a special skeleton. Fatal Car Crashes Drop For 16-Year-Olds, Rise For Older Teens By Allison Aubrey • Sep 13, 2011 Terrified to see your teenager behind the wheel? You're not alone. But a new study finds tougher state licensing laws have led to a decrease in fatal accidents, at least among 16-year-olds. That's the good news. Republican Wins N.Y. Democrat Weiner's House Seat By editor • Sep 13, 2011 Republicans pulled off an upset in Tuesday's special election in New York City to replace former congressman Anthony Weiner. Bob Turner claimed victory over Democrat David Weprin. Democrats hold a 3-1 registration advantage in the district that spans parts of Queens and Brooklyn. And they put scores of volunteers to work canvassing, but none of it was enough to stop Turner. "We've been asked by the people of this district to send a message to Washington, and I hope they hear it loud and clear," Turner said in his victory speech shortly after midnight. Merkel Tries To Reassure Markets On Chance Of Greek Default By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 A day after her finance minister said the possibility of an "orderly default" by Greece should be on the table, German Chancellor Angela Merkel sought to reassure markets by saying that Germany will continue to finance Greece. As The Wall Street Journal explains it, what Merkel is saying is that Europe will not allow Greece to be forced to declare bankruptcy or leave the eurozone. The paper adds: NYPD Investigating Officers' Dirty Dancing By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 We're breaking from the serious news for a few minutes to bring you a bit from New York City, where a group of New York City's finest may be in hot water for having a little too much fun at the city's West Indian American Carnival parade. The parade happened Sept. 5, but after a video of the dancing uniformed cops was posted on the website WorldStarHipHop and then went viral on YouTube, the New York City Police Department announced today it was launching an investigation. U.S. Embassy Attack Highlights Afghan Security Issues By NPR Staff and Wires • Sep 13, 2011 Insurgents rained a barrage of rockets and gunfire on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters Tuesday in a brazen attack in Afghanistan's capital that underscores their ability to stage operations even as coalition forces hand over security to Afghan troops. Census: 2010 Saw Poverty Rate Increase, Income Drop By Pam Fessler • Sep 13, 2011 The nation's poverty rate rose last year to 15.1 percent, the highest level in 17 years, according to new data from the Census Bureau. The agency's latest poverty report, released Tuesday, shows that 46 million people were poor and that the median income dropped last year by more than two percent to about $49,445. Not unexpectedly, the continued lack of jobs was the main cause. How Paying $5 Million For Lunch With Warren Buffett Paid Off By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 Ted Weschler of Charlottesville, Va., paid $2.6 million dollars at a charity auction in both 2010 and 2011 to have lunch with Warren Buffett. In a press release, yesterday, Berkshire Hathaway announced that Weschler was joining Buffett and another partner to manage some of Berkshire's equity holdings. But the interesting part comes later in the release, when the company says: Warren Buffett, Berkshire's Chairman, will continue, however, to manage most of the funds until his retirement. Pediatricians Fact-Check Bachmann's Bashing of HPV Vaccine By editor • Sep 13, 2011 Now the nation's pediatricians have waded deep and early into the race for the presidency. In an unusual instance of political fact-checking of a candidate's statements by physicians themselves, the American Academy of Pediatrics has a tough prescription for Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann: Get your facts straight on the HPV vaccine. A Potential Super Hero For The Supercommittee By Andrea Seabrook • Sep 13, 2011 Tuesday's hearing in the supercommittee was supposed to be about the history of the current debt crisis. Almost nothing causes more partisan bickering than that. Each party is fervent in its belief about who drove the government into the ditch — namely, the other guys. On Tuesday, however, Doug Elmendorf, the man who runs the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), immediately dispensed with the question of blame and laid out the options for the supercommittee. Businesses In Joplin, Mo., Find Economic Opportunity By Missy Shelton • Sep 13, 2011 It's been nearly four months since a tornado slammed into Joplin, Mo., destroying about one-third of the city. More than 525 businesses were in the direct path of the storm. Now as they rebuild, business owners are seeing some opportunities in the wake of their tremendous losses. 'Can Do' Attitude After the tornado hit, the building that housed the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Joplin was destroyed. A safe used to store narcotics was one of the only things to survive and even it got knocked over by the powerful winds. Palestinian Plan Puts U.S. In A Bind By Michele Kelemen • Sep 13, 2011 The Obama administration is scrambling to head off what it fears will be a diplomatic train wreck at the United Nations next week. After years of gridlock in Mideast negotiations, the Palestinians plan to seek U.N. membership as a state on territory captured by Israel in the 1967 war. That territory includes the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, and the plan would go through the Security Council, where the U.S. has already promised to use its veto. What A Year: Disasters Have Been Declared In All But Two States By Mark Memmott • Sep 13, 2011 Partisans on both sides continue to argue over whether to put more money into the coffers of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is running short of cash because there have been so many tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters this year. The political bickering is nothing new, of course. The 'Next Big Step': Preventing 1 Million Heart Attacks And Strokes By Richard Knox • Sep 13, 2011 They're calling it Million Hearts – a newly launched campaign to put a half-dozen simple and proven public health strategies into wider practice. Federal health officials say it can prevent a million heart attacks and strokes between now and 2016. Federal officials call it "the next big step" in cardiovascular prevention. There's lots of evidence it's an achievable goal. James Murdoch Recalled By British Parliament By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 James Murdoch, News Corp.'s deputy chief operating officer and the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, will face a second round of grilling from the British Parliament. If you remember, News Corp. has been under fire in Britain over revelations that the now-closed News of the World tabloid had hacked the phones of public and private figures. The AP reports: Napolitano: New TSA Screening Procedure For Fliers Under 12 By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 Parents of young children, we have some good news courtesy of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: In the coming months, most children younger than 12 will no longer be required to take off their shoes when going through airport security. The AP reported that during testimony before the Senate, Napolitano also said children will less frequently be subject to pat-downs from Transportation Security Administration officials. The Churn Behind The Stable Rate For The Uninsured By Julie Rovner • Sep 13, 2011 At first glance, today's report from the U.S. Census Bureau on the number of Americans without health insurance in 2010 looks, well, a little dull. About 16.3 percent of people in the country were without health insurance, which "was not statistically different from the rate in 2009," the report points out. But dig a little deeper and there's plenty of action. Painting Of A Burning Bank Fetches $25,000 At Auction By Eyder Peralta • Sep 13, 2011 One California artist has made some serious money with a series of paintings that have struck a chord internationally. In an auction on Ebay, Alex Schaefer sold a 22-by-28 inch oil painting of a burning Chase Bank branch in Los Angeles for $25,200. Ron Paul: It's Not Government's Job To Take Care Of Uninsured By editor • Sep 13, 2011 One question at last night's Republican presidential debate has the Internet abuzz. Not really for what Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said but for the reaction of a few people in the Tea Party crowd. This was the question from CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "A healthy 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, you know what? I'm not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance because I'm healthy, I don't need it. But something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Al-Qaida Is Weakened, But Remains A 'Serious Threat,' Petraeus Says By Mark Memmott • Sep 13, 2011 "The CIA assesses that, 10 years after the 9/11 attacks, the United States continues to face a serious threat from al-Qaida and its worldwide network of affiliates and sympathizers," even though the terrorist organization "has been weakened," CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress today in his first testimony since taking over the top job at the intelligence agency.

Our NCL cruise adventure: Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by Izzy1
Overall Member Rating
Our NCL cruise adventure
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
We did not do much in Italy, just went into port city. We had already visited Rome and were not feeling well anyway.
Our next stop was Athens, More Greece. We took the Hop on Hop off bus. We got as far as the Acropolis and Zeus temple. There were demonstrations so the buses were delayed. We high tailed it out of there in a taxi to port to avoid problems.
Our next stop was in Izmir, Turkey. We took a private tour for the two of us with Denizhan Pekoz, Skype: denizhanpekoz MSN Messenger:email@example.com Yahoo Messenger: email@example.com Fullday (8hours) Ephesus & Villages Met with our guide in front of the Izmir port passenger Terminal. Departed the pier for the an hour drive to the magnificent site of Ephesus. Ephesus is the best preserved of the Greek/Roman cities in Anatolia. You will see the beautiful Celsus Library. After a visit to Ephesus Antique Site, you will arrive at Sirince Village, were we saw the local life at a village and purchasing some small local souvenirs and handicrafts. The village is also famous for its local grape and other fruit wines. During the lunch, mingle with the local people of the village. Have a cup of traditional Turkish coffee at the main coffee house of the village. He was very knowledgeable, speaks good English and is reasonable priced.
Then we arrived in Alexandria, Egypt. Again we hired a private tour with Rasha Hamid www.egyptsunset.com 0020106415951 She was fantastic. She had a driver waiting for us outside the terminal. The driver was very good, cautious, and quiet. We met up with her in Cairo. Went to the Giza Pyramids(Cheops, Chephren and mycrenus), the Sphinx, Khan El Khalili Bazzar shoping,The Egyptian museum & the treasures of king TuT Ankh Amen, lunch at a great Egyptian restaurant next to the pyramids. She also spoke very good English, reasonably priced, and very knowledgeable about Egyptian history. I would highly recommend her, she was great. Spent the night there at the Marriott hotel in Cairo. Great shopping there too at the hotel. The following day Rasha picked us up and took us to the Saqqarra Pyramids, the citadel of Salah El din,and the mosque of Mohamed Ali, lunch and back to the ship.
Next port of call was the Island of Malta. Did the hop off hop on bus. Reasonably priced, went to the important sights, beautiful place.
Back to Spain. We had a great time and you can feel confortable in booking with these tour operators.
Onboard staff was friendly and helpful. Great trip. Less

SC Unemployment Lowest in 5 Years - Again
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP/WVOC) - South Carolina's unemployment rate for September was the state's best in five years.
And ditto for October's rate.
The Department of Employment and Workforce says the September jobless rate of 7.9% went down even further to 7.5% for October – the lowest since September 2008, when it was 7.3%.
And last month's 7.5% is also the closest South Carolina's jobless rate has come in 11 years to the national rate, which was 7.3% for October.
The state's largest employment gains in October came in the manufacturing, construction and education and health services sectors, with a combined growth of 6,200 jobs.

Polish prison tattoos preserved in formaldehyde
TopOOps • 15th April 2014
This is a disgusting or fascinating (how you want) collection of preserved tattoos from Polish prisoners. They were cut with razor blades, glass shards and sharpened paperclips. Then inked with burned rubber, charcoal and other shit. Then, after the convicts' deaths, they were "extracted" from the corpses, stuck into jars of formaldehyde and stacked at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Then, photographed by Polish artist Katarzyna Mirczak.

Killeen Daily Herald
With the well-being of the soldiers at the forefront, Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center and Veterans Affairs officials collaborated Tuesday to launch a new Disability Evaluation System and re-sign the Army Medicine Healthcare Covenant, promising excellent care for soldiers and families.
The product of a test pilot program that launched in November 2007 at military medical facilities near the Washington, D.C., area, the new evaluation system makes the process for soldiers easier by combining the Army and Veterans Affairs physicals to produce a single disability rating used by both departments. The new process will make is easier for those soldiers leaving the Army and transferring to the Veterans Affairs system for health benefits.
"They get both their Army Medical Disability Rating and Veterans Affairs Disability Rating all in one shot and are immediately put into care so," said Col. Steven E. Braverman, the medical center's commander. "In the past, they would get their Army Medical Disability Rating through the military and have to wait some period of time to get into the VA system."
The medical center has operated the joint Disability Evaluation System Clinic since February, seeing more than 280 soldiers, 200 of whom have already completed the process.
"Our joint estimation is that almost 1,400 soldiers will participate in this process annually," said Thomas Smith, Central Texas Veterans Health Care System director.
"Since its inception here at Fort Hood, the soldier satisfaction rate has gone up," said Maj. Gen. William Grimsley, III Corps and Fort Hood acting senior commander.
The initial pilot programs at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Bethesda National Naval Medical Center and the Malcolm Grow Air Force Hospital proved to be effective.
"We have 21 pilot studies going on now and it's doing so well that they're looking at a next phase," said Noel Western, Veterans Affairs Department of Defense coordinator for Central Texas. "There's probably a lot of cost savings, but just the time alone is saving a lot of manpower."
Nine Fort Hood and Veterans Affairs leaders signed the covenant reaffirming its commitments to deliver maximized physical and behavioral health promotion, improved quality outcome-focused care and services, improved access and continuity of care.
In addition, the covenant provides high quality care, support during the healing process, assistance for soldiers returning to duty or transitioning from the military and a healing environment that focuses on the mind, body and spirit, the covenant states.

Bruine de Bruin, W, Parker, AM and Maurer, J (2011) Assessing small non-zero perceptions of chance: The case of H1N1 (swine) flu risks. Journal of Risk and Uncertainty, 42 (2). 145 - 159 . ISSN 0895-5646
Feelings of invulnerability, seen in judgments of 0% risk, can reflect misunderstandings of risk and risk behaviors, suggesting increased need for risk communication. However, judgments of 0% risk may be given by individuals who feel invulnerable, and by individuals who are rounding from small non-zero probabilities. We examined the effect of allowing participants to give more precise responses in the 0-1% range on the validity of reported probability judgments. Participants assessed probabilities for getting H1N1 influenza and dying from it conditional on infection, using a 0-100% visual linear scale. Those responding in the 0-1% range received a follow-up question with more options in that range. This two-step procedure reduced the use of 0% and increased the resolution of responses in the 0-1% range. Moreover, revised probability responses improved predictions of attitudes and self-reported behaviors. Hence, our two-step procedure allows for more precise and more valid measurement of perceived invulnerability.

Heavy Equipment Repair Questions? Ask an Expert Now.
Hi. Thanks for using JA! I will try and help you out.
Could you get me your engine serial number? If not, that is OK. I just want to make sure you have an ACERT engine with 2 turbos.
yes it is a twin turbo
Thanks for the information.
I must say that I have not seen heard of a C15 that sucks the reservoir dry and when the cap is loosened, the tank refills.
However, I have seen several C15 ACERT engines with twin turbos push coolant out of the over flow under load. Many times when this happens most techs are quick to blame the head gasket for the engine pushing out coolant. But on twin turbo engines, there is another item that can push coolant out, and it will only do it under load.
It is a failed Jacket Water Pre cooler. JWPC. It is a cooler on the outlet of the turbos to cool the air before going into the air to air core. Basically what is happening is when the engine is under load and making alot of boost, there is a small hole or crack in the cooler and boost pressure goes into the cooling system and pushes out coolant from the over flow.
You should be able to remove the piping from the JWPC and see evidence of coolant in the piping.

Andrew Romano sends the septuagenarian Stone a birthday wish.
The septuagenarian duo of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will be able to keep their chauffer-driven, taxpayer-funded limos.
The experience left the septuagenarian designer sounding positively gob-smacked.
The septuagenarian was present during the search, according to the report.
The first case submitted was that of a septuagenarian, burnt some years before.
It looks as if the septuagenarian were ashamed of a diminished calf.
She did, in fact, redouble her activities, to an extent astonishing in a septuagenarian.
It was the septuagenarian bishop Purpuris, 273 recalled from exile by Julian.
The only way you could tell his demeanor from that of a septuagenarian was that he didn't drag his feet as he walked.
The septuagenarian squeezed the colonel's hand until the fingers cracked.
"of age 70, seventy-year-old," 1793, from Latin septuagenarius "containing seventy," from septuageni "seventy each," related to septuaginta "seventy" (see Septuagint). Noun meaning "a 70-year-old person" first recorded 1805. As an adjective, septuagenary is recorded from c.1600.

Hello Sandie,
Yes, I'm sure about the period when Harlow new town was established, it was
from the late 1940s. However, this was a totally new town built virtually
from scratch around the framework of some older Hamlets and villages. One of
these older villages was the old Harlow, and this would have been where
your gt grandfather was born.

and his sister was born in Harlow 1832 and brother in 1832 ... or is there
'another' Harlow ...

Directed by Mel House
Lovecraft's world isn't an easy thing to capture on screen whether you have a huge budget or, in the case of Closet Space, one that pretty much only allows you to shoot in one location. Sometimes by trying too hard, filmmakers end up shooting themselves in the foot and coming up with something that looks far worse than their budget should have allowed but there are times, few of them, when the concept of capturing a world of dark, tentacled, ancient creatures is handled just right by all involved.
For the most part, I was happy to discover, Closet Space was one of the latter group. Sure, some of the makeup is questionable and the effects can, at times, be a bit dodgy, but the film's got its heart in the right place and never tries to hit some ambitious but unattainable level with this budget.
The story finds some grad students being invited out to home in the middle of a seemingly isolated field, told by one of their friends that their professor, who's been gone for weeks on one of his frequent expeditions, has found something amazing there.
And indeed he has. You see, their professor has found … a closet.
But not just any closet, oh no; this is a closet that defies all laws of physics by containing a very, very long hallway, down which their lies a T intersection and even more twists and turns from there. Since the professor hasn't been heard from in days, and there's a lot of footage showing his team going in and out of the closet, they figure something must've gone wrong and push forward to investigate.
Meanwhile one of the new team's girlfriends decides she wants nothing to do with all this creepy science stuff and traipses off on her own. Of course she doesn't make it too far (check out her death in our Broadband section!), but the next day she's back at the house, more willing than ever to go along with the teams' plan for finding whatever lies beyond the closet. Damn shifty women!
So our explorers go in and get a helluva lot more than they bargained for; I seriously doubt any of them had any idea what to expect, but it's not what they do end up finding, that's for sure. I won't give away too much, but suffice it to say there are some tentacles involved and an entire race of creatures eager to make their way into our world.
Closet Space is not the mythos in the most traditional sense; you can tell director House had the basic concept of Lovecraftian creatures in mind but not the budget to pull them off right, so he used the "less is more" approach, and it works really well for the most part. The crew at Oddtopsy FX are responsible for the gore, which isn't as plentiful as you think but is quality, if not sometimes obviously low-budget, work when you do see it.
What really surprised me about Closet Space, though, was how smart it was. I mean, sure, we're dealing with grad students here but they're not the typical horror movie college students ™ ; these are people who are excited about what they do and are eager to learn as often as possible, not just fuck around drinking and trying to have sex with one another, though that does happen to a degree. Some of the dialogue gets a bit heavy at times, mainly you can see that Mel and crew wanted to be sure the audience got the uniqueness of the situation, but it never gets to the fast-forward point, thank Dagon.
So yeah, Closet Space has issues that almost all first-time low budget features do, but the subject matter, intellect of the characters and solid pacing place it a step above the rest of the indie schlock that's out there. I really hope this leads to bigger and better things for everyone involved (yes, even the cast were good!) and they learn from what minor issues Closet Space did have; I can see them doing some truly kick ass stuff in our genre down the road and Closest Space is a damn good start!

UNITED NATIONS (Oct. 29)
A United Nations spokesman could not confirm. today a press report from Rabat that the General Assembly debate on the Palestine Question has been rescheduled for Not. 13. According to the spokesman there was no official word from Rabat to indicate a change of date for the debate which is scheduled to open Nov. 6. The PLO has submitted to the UN the names of a nine-member delegation which does not include Yasir Arafat. Sources here said, however, that Arafat will attend the debate and that the omission of his name from the delegates' list was a security measure.

In the season-four finale of the Alan Ball vampire drama True Blood, a character explains her Halloween costume: ''I'm a zombie. Didn't you know - zombies are the new vampires.''
It was a characteristically arch reference to the success of The Walking Dead, the American zombie drama that's based on Robert Kirkman's graphic novels and has just ended its second season in the US. But the line was also recognition - however cloaked in irony - that the pop-cultural moment of the vampire had passed.
Popular culture demands novelty and, for now, vampires have lost theirs. Despite True Blood's best efforts to keep the vampire genre interesting, its currency has been reduced by its ubiquity in mainstream teen culture, from the interminable Twilight saga to recent shows such as The Vampire Diaries.
But zombies? In the hierarchy of the undead, you don't get any lower.
The dramatic appeal of the vampire is obvious. They are charismatic, unrestrained, transgressive. They come with a rich literary and folkloric history and are full of symbolic potential. Simultaneously attractive and repellent, they play into a range of anxieties around mortality and sex. Combine this with their brooding aesthetic, and vampires represent a heady cocktail for the contemporary adolescent.
Zombies, on the other hand, are defiantly unglamorous - grotesque and void of personality. No one ever fantasised about a zombie. While vampires are invariably the protagonists of their stories, zombies generally function as antagonists, and dumb ones at that. They represent a mindless collective threat to those yet to be contaminated. The survivors will always be the focus of any zombie story, which means the stories themselves will be different.
Most zombie stories in popular culture stick closely to the ''zombie apocalypse'' formula, which has its seeds in George A. Romero's 1968 movie Night of the Living Dead, itself influenced by the 1954 novel I Am Legend. The 2002 movie 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead belong firmly in this sub-genre.
It's not hard to see how the zombie apocalypse plays into contemporary anxiety about the fragility of civilisation - its susceptibility to contagion, whether in the form of illness or ideological extremism. Zombies are not just highly infectious carriers of disease, they also represent mindless, aggressive conformity that grows exponentially, overwhelming all resistance. Vampires need to coexist with humans to satisfy their craving for blood. Zombies just march towards an inevitable end point - the extinction of the human race.
In terms of dramatic potential, zombies are far more limited than vampires. For a zombie narrative to work, it must be played straight. The threat must be genuinely horrifying and the survivors well-drawn, compelling characters - both strengths of The Walking Dead.
The moment zombie dramas begin to incorporate elements of camp or self-referentiality, such as in Charlie Brooker's 2008 TV series Dead Set, the MTV drama Death Valley or the classic/horror-hybrid novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the illusion collapses and we're in pantomime territory.
Zombies are not going away any time soon. The Walking Dead continues to grow in popularity and next year Brad Pitt will star in the zombie movie World War Z, seen as a potential franchise. In the longer term, however, the limitations of the genre and pop culture's insatiable appetite for novelty will ensure the zombie's demise.
As for what supernatural entity will next arise, it's anyone's guess. Talking to Spectrum last year, Ball qualified the ''zombies are the new vampires'' line, adding: ''I've heard zombies, I've heard angels - I don't know. That's one of the great things about it all, nobody knows.''
Since then, Ball has stepped down as showrunner on True Blood, hammering yet another nail into the vampire's coffin. But like any self-respecting member of the undead, vampires will rise again, their appeal to the lucrative adolescent market too powerful for any TV or film executive to resist.
The Walking Dead airs on FX on Sundays at 8.30pm. Series one is on DVD.

Tarpon Springs offensive tackle Zach DeBell has picked up offers from Georgia, Virginia and West Virginia this week, and according to this amusing blog post in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, his response to his latest round of offers?
"Seriously, that's what he said,'' wrote Chip Towers. "For the non-indoctrinated, that's something a very pleased Kung Fu Panda says in the animated movie of the same name. I know because I had to ask. The point is, DeBell is a very happy camper these days and, in terms of recruiting, has come a long way from where he was at the turn of the New Year."
DeBell is now up to 23 offers, including four from the Big East and ACC.

Top tips from Sharp Women - Getting the first date you wantSubmitted by SharpMan Editorial Team on Monday 1st November 2010
Top tips from Sharp Women
- When calling for a date.
- So you got the date, now what?
SharpWoman bare all in their advice on how to get and look good on that all important first date. Read on . . .
When calling for a date.
(1) Think "sooner" rather than . . .
When planning to ask a woman out - think ahead. Don't call her up to "see what she's doing' later", ask her out a few days in advance, If you're looking for a Friday night date, make sure to call by Wednesday, at the latest.
A.K., Los Angeles, CA
(2) Conflict? Don't ask.
If you call to ask a woman out on a date, and she says she already has plans, never ask her what she is doing. This conversation can go in many directions, generally none will be good.
C.C., Chicago IL
(3) Hedge your bet.
Wanna increase your chances of getting a "yes" from the girl who may not recognize you as her Prince Charming? Better your odds by presenting a tempting offer. Don't say: "Hey. Jennifer, wanna hang out some time?" or "Hey, Jennifer, wanna go out this weekend?" instead, come up with a really great/ unusual itinerary (ideally. not dependent on a specific time, like concert tickets, 'cause she may be busy, and you may end up going with your unattractive neighbor). For example: "Hey, Jennifer, I've got this great idea about going out to (fill In interesting place in or out of the city with a view, a walk or historical significance) with some great picnic food. I was thinking that after that, we could (fill in with activity involving looking at/ listening to art/music/etc." If she's a sport, any one of these activities could be hiking/biking/skiing/etc.)." Not only will you present a more tempting offer, the date activity will encourage interaction, which always works out better than staring at one another from across a dinner table.
S.T., Washington DC
(4) Don't go over-board In hedging you bet.
Assuming you take the advice provided above, under normal circumstances, don't over-do it by suggesting an over-night or weekend-long event. Nonetheless, if a fabulous opportunity to woo lies ahead (i.e., a bunch of your friends are going skiing for the weekend, etc.), be quick to address the sleeping arrangements, so that she doesn't decline for fear that you expect her to "shack up".
S.T., Washington DC
So you got the date, now what?
(5) Plan something.
Even if you got your date the conventional way ("Uh, wanna see a movie on Friday night?"), make an effort to plan something Interesting. If you took the advice above, call ahead, get directions, Info, hours at operation, food, drinks, and picnic blanket. If it's o movie or dinner date, buy the tickets (check out www.moviefone.com ), choose the restaurant (or two), or make reservations (even if it requires doing so at more than one place). In other words, do what you need to do to avoid getting into the car and saying, "so, what do you wanna do?"
T.J., Evanston, IL
(6) Wash your car.
If you live in a town where dating involves using an automobile, wash yours. It looks 5 bad to tell your date to "hold on" while you throw trash from your passenger seat into your back seat. Make an effort to look like you prepared for this date. She looks like she did, doesn't she?
J.L., Saint Paul, MN
(7) Don't stink.
Guys should definitely shower, but they shouldn't put on too much cologne.
S.K., San Diego, CA
(8) The pick up.
Showing up on time is really important. Plan to pick up your date at the time you said you'd be there, or call before the time you said you'd be there to let her know you'll be late. But as a general rule, don't be any more than 10 minutes late, and never even one minute early.
Ll., San Francisco, CA
(9) Don't over-do it with the foliage.
Women love flowers, but getting a bouquet from a guy picking you up for a first date is a little awkward. To be respectful to the guy, the girl wants to immediately put the flowers in water and then have some time to appreciate them, but going back inside the girl's apartment to do this is kind of weird. First, she may not be prepared for you to see the inside of her apartment, and second, it ruins the momentum of the evening to go back inside and start doing chores (cutting the ends, finding a vase, etc.) after she's gotten all dolled up,
K.l., Miami, FL
(10) Finally, use those manly arms.
Open doors for your date. A lot.
E.N., New York, NY

By Tim Goodenow for MSNsportsNET.com
August 27, 2009
With the 2009 season underway, MSNsportsNET.com will get to know the nine freshmen on the West Virginia women's soccer team. Today's edition features midfielder Bri Rodriguez.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas High School National Player of the Year, freshman Bri Rodriguez promises to uphold the tradition of talented midfielders in the West Virginia women's soccer program.
Past Mountaineer teams have thrived in the midfield behind players like Rachel Kruze, Lisa Stoia, Marisa Kanela, Laura Kane, Amanda Cicchini and Carolyn Blank.
Rodriguez, an Aurora, Ill., native, arrived on campus knowing there were big shoes to fill but has embraced the challenge.
"I think coming in, my goal was to be a starter," said Rodriguez, a 2009 PARADE All-American. "I knew it would require a lot of hard work and I had to arrive in good shape."
Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown takes great pride in knowing her teams are in top shape and can work the extra sessions to pull out a victory. During Rodriguez's recruitment, she witnessed former WVU All-American Cicchini work end line to end line, making plays for her team.
"Amanda did such a good job the last four years and I knew it would be hard to match her level of play right away," said Rodriguez of her first-year expectations. "As far as being all-BIG EAST or anything, I'd like that but I'm not too concerned about it. I'm just trying to do what the coaches want me to do right now."
To this point, Rodriguez has done all the things asked of her by the coaching staff. That includes surviving a grueling two weeks of preseason that an onlooker might mistake for boot camp.
"The whole preseason camp was really long and pretty tiring," admitted Rodriguez. "But it allowed us to improve each day and figure out the style and tendencies of one another. It was a lot of hard work but a lot was accomplished for our team in those two weeks."
Included in the preseason was a two-day trip to New River Gorge in the southern part of West Virginia. There, the Mountaineers got to know one another through a series of team-bonding exercises while camping, rafting and participating in a ropes course.
"Our entire team really enjoys being around each other both on and off the field," offered Rodriguez. "We also had a team-bonding trip that was fun. It really helped our freshman class get to know the upperclassmen better."
While Rodriguez and her teammates were adjusting socially, there was also challenge for all newcomers in adjusting to the speed of the game on the collegiate level.
"It has definitely been a lot faster, but I know more game reps will make it more natural for me," said Rodriguez. "The Maryland (exhibition) game was a bit of a wake-up call on how fast and how physical things were. A week later against Ohio State I think I played much better."
Rodriguez was one of four freshmen to start in WVU's season-opener against Ohio State. In fact, seven of their 11 starters were freshmen and sophomores.
Despite a roster filled with young talent, Izzo-Brown again has challenged her team to compete against some of the nation's top programs. This weekend, the Mountaineers compete in the Penn State Invitational to face a pair of 2008 NCAA tournament teams in Penn State and BYU.
"I knew that Nikki (Izzo-Brown) would schedule the best teams in the country. She has for several years and I like that as a player," said Rodriguez. "She wants us to be a championship team and playing the best teams will help us get to that point. Ohio State was a tough opponent to start and it gets tougher with Penn State this weekend."
There is plenty to learn for Rodriguez in her first season in Morgantown. Yet, there are plenty of resources available for Mountaineer freshmen to succeed. For Rodriguez, her most useful resource could just be a teammate.
"Carolyn (Blank) has been my running partner and it was nice to see how hard she works," said Rodriguez. "She is a great player and someone that I look up to. And not only on the field, but off the field as well. Playing the same position and being around her since preseason has been very valuable for me."
The transition from leaving high school to becoming a collegiate freshman is tough for every student. There is also a natural maturation process that comes with stepping into a program of West Virginia's caliber. So far, Rodriguez has made all the right moves. And if she follows Blank's example, Rodriguez will likely earn that All-America label before her career is over.

Burns made two key receptions on Auburn's only touchdown of the first half enabling the Tigers to stop the bleeding from a horrendous start on Saturday as Auburn rallied for a 28-27 victory over Alabama.
"A 24-0 deficit in the first half is nothing for this team to overcome," said Burns, who has helped his Tigers rally from behind in eight of the team's 12 victories this season.
"We know we can score back to back to back to back at any time with our offense," Burns said. "It is all about getting a few first downs and getting to a rhythm. Once we did that we were ready to go."
The victory sends the Tigers into the SEC Championship Game on Saturday in Atlanta with a 12-0 record and high hopes of playing for the national title if the Tigers can defeat South Carolina a rematch of a regular season game.
However, before the Tigers begin preparations for the Gamecocks they are going to take time to enjoy a victory over the Tide.
"It means a lot to get another win over Alabama for the seniors like we did as freshmen," Burns said. "Winning on the road, the way we did it, makes it even sweeter."
With the Tigers down 24-7 at halftime Burns and the rest of the seniors talked to their teammates about the importance of staying focused and not giving up.
"The seniors did a great job at halftime," Burns said. "We have a lot of senior leadership on this team. The young guys look up to us and we show them the right path."
The offense started the second half with a touchdown pass from Cameron Newton to Terrell Zachery on the second play of the period. After that the Auburn defense allowed the Tide just 67 total yards in the final two quarters.
Burns said he wasn't surprised that the defense stepped up, too, noting the group got a boost when Michael Goggans and Mike Blanc returned to action after being suspended in the first half from incidents in the Georgia game. "They helped us pick up some of the slack," Burns said.
Auburn's comeback from 24 points was the biggest in Auburn history and it was the largest lead ever blown by an Alabama football team as Auubrn improved to 12-0 while dropping the Tide to 9-3.


text: The Wheaton College Rolling Thunder Battalion is hosting an Open House on Thursday, October 11 offering two opportunities to experience life as an Army ROTC cadet. Members of the community can join cadets in their early morning Physical Training from 6-7:30 a.m. and practice leadership skills with the cadets as they work through Field Squad Tactics from 3:15-6 p.m. Scholarship and enrollment officer Gregory Caruso says the open house is designed to give participants a small taste of military life—starting with its physical and mental demands. "Our physical training activities can be more demanding than many other athletic activities," he says. "Participants will feel what it's like to push themselves to the limit." The field squad tactics exercise will provide an opportunity to develop leadership and teamwork skills. "People will get to see how the military decision-making process works at the level of a team or squad," Caruso says. "They'll experience the teamwork and brotherhood we experience. It's all about helping each other out—that's what we're hoping to give the community a taste of." Those interested should meet at Jenks Hall, located at 433 Howard Street in Wheaton. A host cadet will help guide participants through the training. There is no charge for this event, but registration is requested by Wednesday, October 10. The Rolling Thunder Batallion includes students from Wheaton College, Benedictine University, Aurora University, North Central College, Lewis University, the University of St. Francis, and Elmhurst College. Wheaton College's ROTC program celebrated its 60th anniversary this past spring; several of its cadets recently attended the Leader's Training Course, the premier leadership program of its kind in the United States. For more information about the open house, or to RSVP, email Cadet Tiffany Carlson at email@example.com.

Happy Tuesday morning Cougar fans. First of all, I cannot wait to finally watch our hoops team on the tube this week. How about you? Secondly, what about RG5? I think he is going to do wonders out of the backfield in our Air Raid Offense next fall!
So, I must admit I haven't been keeping up with the current events of the last week since I returned home from Arizona. I was sick all last week, attending work feeling like bunk and then volunteering all weekend at a leadership event. Needless to say, my web browsing activity was at an all-time decline (seriously, some adult websites may have gone out of business with my absence).
Eye kiiiiiiiidddd..
Anyways, browsing last night, I came across an article on a site that I quite frankly despise. You see, at some point in 2011, my favorite writer in the history of writers, Bill Simmons, launched his own website called Grantland. Simmons made his mark in Boston, before joining ESPN and has an incredibly loyal following. He was great at mixing pop culture references and sports into an ESPN Page 2 spot, as well as writing two of my all-time favorite sports books; The Book of Basketball and Now I Can Die in Piece. There was an apparent falling out of sorts with the World Wide Leader, and now fans are stuck with his pile of manure Grantland.
Anyways, over the weekend, a pair of his writers posted an article with the premise that high school, college and eventually the NFL as we know it may not be around in the next fifteen or twenty years. I was ROLMFAO at the idea of this article before actually reading it.
Click the jump to get some of their incredibly logical takes.....
LC and TSG at a book signing in 2009 at Sport Cafe in Seattle
Telling myself the article was gonna be a waste of time, the piece opened really well and had me hooked right away.
Before you say that football is far too big to ever disappear, consider the history: If you look at the stocks in the Fortune 500 from 1983, for example, 40 percent of those companies no longer exist. The original version of Napster no longer exists, largely because of lawsuits. No matter how well a business matches economic conditions at one point in time, it's not a lock to be a leader in the future, and that is true for the NFL too. Sports are not immune to these pressures. In the first half of the 20th century, the three big sports were baseball, boxing, and horse racing, and today only one of those is still a marquee attraction.
From there, the writers go on to state that the most plausible way for it to die is through tort claims. They start at the high school level and mention the 90K concussions suffered in America annually, at the pre-collegiate level of football. It will only take a handful of high school players and families to win large lawsuits against school districts, officials, coaches and equipment manufacturers before insurance companies charge too much for districts to be able to afford the insurance.
Makes sense, right?
Then the article goes on to say if high school football programs begin to dissolve, eventually college programs will fold and then the NFL will have less talented players to chose from. From there, they talk about NFL franchises surviving for a few years on foreign players who are willing to risk their health for the monetary payout. With these players not being the same caliber we see at the college and pro levels today, interest will begin waning in the NFL.
Next the article begins looking at the impact if the NFL were to not be what it is today, and cites a really interesting bit of research.
Take Green Bay as a case study: A 2009 study of the economic impact of the Packers' stadium estimated "$282 million in output, 2,560 jobs and $124.3 million in earnings, and $15.2 million in tax revenues." That's small potatoes for the national economy as a whole, but for a small and somewhat remote city of 104,000, it is a big deal indeed.2
Any location where football is the only game in town will suffer. If the Jets and Giants go, New York still has numerous other pro sports teams, Broadway, high-end shopping, skyscrapers, fine dining, and many other cultural activities. If college football dies, Norman, Oklahoma (current home to one of us), has … noodling? And what about Clemson, in South Carolina, which relies on the periodic weekend football surge into town for its restaurant and retail sales? Imagine a small place of 12,000 people that periodically receives a sudden influx of 100,000 visitors or more, most of them eager to spend money on what is one of their major leisure outings. It's like a port in the Caribbean losing its cruise ship traffic. (Overall, the loss of football could actually increase migration from rural to urban areas over time. Football-dependent areas are especially prominent in rural America, and some of them will lose a lot of money and jobs.)
Well if football were to not be as popular in a few decades as it is today, then other sports stand to move up as the new cash cow(s). They go on to mention basketball and track and field would be the two biggest winners, as well as academia. Then they close with this doozy.
This outcome may sound ridiculous, but the collapse of football is more likely than you might think. If recent history has shown anything, it is that observers cannot easily imagine the big changes in advance. Very few people were predicting the collapse of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, or the rise of China as an economic power. Once you start thinking through how the status quo might unravel, a sports universe without the NFL at its center no longer seems absurd.
While this is a doomsday scenario, after giving it a read, it sure doesn't seem that far fetched to me. Given that we live in a sue-first, ask questions later, high insurance premium world where politicians seem hell bent on solving issues that government really shouldn't be sticking their nose in, anything seems possible. Thanks Grantland, I wasn't expecting this turd to come pouring out of my milk container onto my cereal.
What do you all think about this possibility? Have a great day, Go Cougs!

Ok on Andy's advice I put up this wiki page to help us achieve the vending machine result we're looking for:

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Vending_machine

Interested to see what happens.

So I've been looking into the costs of a vending machine, after the

discussion at the business meeting and it looks like we can get a

fairly standard used soda vending machine off craigslist for around

300 - 500 bucks.

I stand by my offer to contribute $100 toward it and also offer to

take care of delivery and negotiations etc if we can get enough money

together.

I've got emails out to a few sellers and can probably do some more

legwork tomorrow. Looking for feedback and fellow contributors.

We've long held that "any vending machine at Noisebridge will
immediately get hacked". (This was one of our very first arguments
after moving into the first Noisebridge space at 83c Wiese.)

However, at the meeting this evening Shannon pointed out that actually,
people don't do very much hacking at Noisebridge.

He has a point.

Therefore, I'm willing to pitch in $60 towards a soda vending machine.
Please let me know where to Paypal the money to you, Nick. You may also
wish to create a Wiki page for people to sign up on, similar to
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Microscope

I hope someone proves Shannon wrong by taking all the money out of the
machine and putting it in our bank account.
