No one doubts that the University High boys basketball team will put up an intense title defense in 2014-15.
Point guard Skylar Mays has gotten an early start in a manner that doesn't necessarily involve speaking about it.
"I know I've got to improve my defense," Mays said. "So that's been a big part of what I've been working on this summer. I think we had a great year last year. But there's always something to work on."
Such statements may not be the best news for opponents since the Cubs finished 30-7 last spring while winning the Class 3A state title, the school's first in boys basketball in a decade.
Mays played a key role, averaging 11 points and 7.3 assists per game. He earned All-Metro and Class 3A all-state honors after helping UHS navigate through the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Top 28 tournament.
It started with Mays dishing out 10 assists in a 71-49 win over Bossier in the semifinals. He added seven more assists to establish a two-game Top 28 record in the Cubs' 69-64 title-game win over Richwood.
Those wins amount to ancient history now for Mays, a junior-to-be who has attended several camps and showcases and has played AAU basketball this summer. However, he focused on the Cubs in June, playing summer league games and attending team camps.
When Mays says he's grown, he isn't just talking about basketball skills. He now stands 6-foot-3½.
U-High coach Joe Spencer sees other signs of growth in Mays, who along with 6-6 Wayde Sims, D.J. White and Jalen Johnson form the nucleus of players who have started since they were eighth-graders.
"Skylar likes to talk about his defense and outside shooting and getting better in those areas," Spencer said. "He does need to improve his defense and he has. I actually think he's a good outside shooter. It's a matter of him taking more shots.
"But the thing I'm the most excited about is his leadership. A point guard is always a leader. Skylar is more vocal now. He dives on the floor for loose balls and that's leading by example. That's the kind of growth we were looking for."
Putting up a good defense these days also includes Mays explaining why he has backed off his February commitment to LSU.
"I still love LSU and I'm sure I'll be at every football game and every basketball game I can get to," Mays explained. "This is about making sure I take the time to make the right decision. It's something I talked about with my parents a lot."
Mays, who carries a 4.0 grade-point average, has offers from LSU, Southeastern Louisiana University and Tulsa. He's also heard from Oklahoma State, Alabama and UNLV.
Of course, U-High fans may ponder what might have been in another sport. Mays played quarterback and receiver in football, but gave the sport up after eighth-grade. He follows the summer recruiting news on ex-teammates such as Malik Antoine and Tre' Jackson, who also will be juniors this fall.
Mays gets advice from older brother Stan, an Episcopal graduate and a preferred walk-on at Texas Tech last season. He says he'll offer younger brother Spencer, a freshman-to-be in line for playing time for U-High, advice when needed.
"Defense is something he can work on," Mays said. "But I'm not sure I should be the one giving him advice on that."

Chris Brown's Twitter has been deactivated after a word-brawl with a comedian this weekend (though we expect he'll be back in short order), and the dramatic exit leaves the controversial star's dedicated army of Twitter followers with a serious case of — in addition to some weird sort of celebrity Stockholm Syndrome — a reason to wail and gnash their teeth.
Chris Brown's Twitter cabal is known as #teambreezy, and the vocal proponents of the singer — who became somewhat of a pariah in the music biz for beating down on-and-off girlfriend Rihanna — are led by Brown's biggest and most accepting fan, his mom Joyce.
Joyce Hawkins tweets under the handle @mombreezy, and, in the absence of her son on the microblogging service, Team Breezy has turned to their matriarch in the time of great unrest and turmoil, seeking guidance and comfort from #teambreezy patient zero.
As Twitter reacts to Chris Brown's latest tantrum, they have sent Mom Breezy a cacophony of lamentations, with one fan recently tweeting:
@mombreezy please please #Teambreezy doesn't deserve the fact that Chris deleted his twitter! How am I supposed to know what's going on?!"
How indeed, Joyce? HOW INDEED?! Another Chris Brown fan pleads:
"I Want Chris Back.
#TeamBreezy Need You CB. Plz Come Back. @MomBreezy Plz Tell him to come Back. We Love Him Soo Much."
Supporters have also been changing their avatars to this — no, we aren't kidding:
However, unimaginable as it may seem, not everyone is on Team Breezy. Some people seem not to appreciate the seriousness of Chris Brown's Twitter quitting, and one tweeter twote:
Think of a major disaster of the last 20 years. Now imagine Chris Brown had died in that disaster. It would have been worth it, wouldn't it?
— Frankie Boyle (@frankieboyle) November 26, 2012
Andy Levy, who redefined the term "burn" in laying into Brown on TV, adds:
With Chris Brown off twitter his fans will have to wear name tags that say "#TeamBreezy" in real life so everyone knows they're idiots
— Andy Levy (@andylevy) November 26, 2012
Are you surprised at Chris Brown's Twitter tantrum?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is probing whether Valeant Pharmaceuticals and activist shareholder William Ackman violated insider trading laws in preparing their joint takeover bid for Botox maker Allergan Inc.
The SEC, following its standard policy, declined to comment on the investigation. But Ackman's hedge fund company, Pershing Square Capital Management, implicitly acknowledged it in an emailed statement. "We welcome the SEC's review of the facts," the company said.
News of the probe echoed allegations of insider trading made by Irvine-based Allergan in a federal lawsuit it filed against Valeant, Pershing Square and Ackman on Aug. 1. Allergan wants the court to make Ackman give up a significant portion of the Allergan shares he bought, saying that his purchases were illegal because he had non-public inside information of Valeant's plan to make an offer directly to Allergan shareholders.
"We are confident that the trading was completely lawful, as our reply to Allergan's frivolous lawsuit will make clear," a Valeant spokeswoman said Thursday. She declined to comment directly on the SEC probe.
Allergan declined to comment.
The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the SEC probe, said it was in its early stages and may not lead anywhere. The agency often probes unusual market events, and in many cases the investigations don't pan out.
Valeant's alliance with an activist shareholder took many analysts and investors by surprise, and some wondered early on whether it would pass legal muster.
From February to April, Ackman amassed a 9.7 percent stake in Allergan, making his fund the company's largest shareholder. He managed to skirt disclosure rules while doing so, by buying a large number of the shares in the form of derivatives known as "call options," which conferred the same ownership status on him as regular shares.
Ackman has used his position as top Allergan stakeholder to assist Valeant in its takeover plan. He is currently attempting to get the requisite 25 percent of Allergan shareholders to call for a special meeting, which would allow for a vote on a motion to fire six of Allergan's nine board directors and replace them with people more sympathetic to the takeover proposal.
Allergan is fighting fiercely to delay or avoid such a meeting. Its bylaws impose onerous reporting requirements on institutional shareholders before their holdings can be counted among the 25 percent needed to convene a meeting. And numerous observers believe that one of Allergan's objectives in filing the lawsuit is to postpone the meeting for as long as possible.
Allergan has also been waging a ferocious public campaign to discredit Valeant's business model and financial reporting methods. That has been at least partially responsible for driving Valeant's stock down. That, in turn, makes the takeover offer less attractive to investors, since more than half the deal is denominated in Valeant stock.
The offer was worth $48.7 billion at the market close Thursday, down from $54 billion May 30, when Valeant increased its offer for the second time in a week.
Allergan's accusation of insider trading against Ackman and Valeant is based on its contention that they both knew, at the time of Pershing Square's share purchases, that the bid for Allergan would be taken over the head of its board and directly to the shareholders – a process known as a tender offer.
Valeant and Ackman have denied this, saying they had intended for the merger to be a friendly one and only went hostile after Allergan's repeated rebuffs.
Pershing Square said Thursday that at the time they publicly unveiled their proposal to merge with Allergan, they had not "taken any steps whatsoever regarding a tender offer."
It wasn't until two months later that they took their bid directly to shareholders, Ackman's hedge fund noted. "There is nothing illegal, unethical or improper in taking a toehold position before a merger is proposed, even if it is not wanted by the target's management."
Allergan argues in its lawsuit that the idea of a friendly merger was only a ruse, that Valeant and Ackman knew all along they would end up making a hostile offer. Two years earlier, Allergan had refused to engage in merger discussions with Valeant, so its management was "well aware in early 2014 that Allergan was not likely to be supportive of a friendly merger, and … began plotting an alternate course," the complaint alleges.
An initial hearing in the lawsuit is scheduled for Wednesday, when a judge will consider whether to put the case on a fast track.
An SEC investigation, on top of the lawsuit, could cause delays. Some analysts think that would not augur well for Valeant's bid – and could compromise its deal-driven business strategy.
"I think the longer this goes on, the worse it is for Valeant," said David Amsellem, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co. "There's an opportunity cost to not being able to do other transactions, and I think Valeant at some point is going to have to assess whether the opportunity cost has become too much to bear."

It can be surprising to wake up one morning to discover that you face seems dry and may even be flaky in some
spots. When faced with severe acne and other dry skin problems we often feel a little bit panicked and ask "why is
my face so dry?" This is especially the case when your face looks dull, red or flaky.
Certain parts of your skin may even be peeling due to severe dryness. There must be a solution on how to get rid
of dry skin and get your face looking normal again. It might even be a good idea to understand what is causing dry
skin, so that you know what you are up against.
Understanding Why Your Face is Dried Out
In understanding why our faces become red or dry, it is fundamental to know which skin care product to use to
help eliminate the problem altogether. It is often irritating as well as embarrassing to stand in a public area
having to scratch your flaky or very dry skin.
You may very well discover that it could be either the environment or something that you are doing wrong that is
doing this to your face. Often times it is improper facial care and dietary habits that tend to strip away fatty
oils and leave your skin unprotected.
It must be said though, that you will very seldom find the cause to be internal due to a specific health
condition or genetic predisposition. What we need to realize is that dry skin could simply be caused by using harsh
soaps, wrong clothing that makes us itch, using the wrong moisturizer, and having long hot showers that dry our
skin. The truth is there could be a lot of reasons why your face has become suddenly dry. Here are just a few
of those reasons and ways that you can correct the situation.
You're Using The Wrong Face Soap
You may simply be using the wrong face soap or skin cleanser on your face. In many cases when you
use the wrong face soap you don't really notice how much it is drying your skin for several months or even
years. Other times the difference can be seen almost immediately.
Try using soaps that don't contain any dyes or perfumes and have glycerin in them. The more natural the
soap the less likely it is to dry out your skin.
Exposure To The Wind or The Sun
Exposing your face to long periods to the wind, cold and/or sun can dry out the skin on your face and may even
cause it to flake and itch. Regardless of the weather you should never spend long periods out of doors without
using a good moisturizing sun screen to keep your skin from suffering the damage cause by the weather.
Indoor Heat and Lack of Humidity
Another reason your face may be drying out is that in the winter you increase the heat in your house and
artificial heat has a way of zapping all the humidity from the houses atmosphere. The combination of heat and
lack of humidity is bound to dry out your skin not only on face but, over your entire body. The solution to
this problem is to get a good humidifier and use it. A large warm air room humidifier can not only help to
keep your skin moist but, can actually make your home feel warmer allowing you to turn down the heat a notch or
You Are Simply Getting Older
As you get older your skin begins to lose some of it's natural moisture and dries out. While you can't
turn back the clock and become a teenager once more, you can help to restore your skins moisture in a number of
ways. First, make sure that you drink plenty of water as being hydrated also means that you are keeping your
skin hydrated as well. Second, use moisturizing cream twice a day to not only add moisturizer to your face,
but also to hold in the moisturizer you have. In addition, many people find that taking fish oil supplements
help their skin retain some of it's natural moisturizer and look younger.
As you can see, your face can dry out for any number of reasons but, there are things you can do to restore some
of that moisture and have your skin feeling less dry and looking more beautiful in no time at all.
What Dry Skin Effects We Will Experience
Part of the reason why the skin on our faces is so dry is due to a lack of sufficient moisture. Our facial skin
layers consist of dead skin cells a lot of the time, which gets pushed to the surface as our skin regenerate
itself. If you do not have enough moisture, your skin will be dry which will have other effects such as scaling and
Dry skin often feels tight and as the outer layer of our face pulls even tighter it may result in fine cracks or
rough skin texture, which can result in blotches or other skin infections such as eczema or folliculitis, which we
really do not want.
Skincare Remedies for Dry Skin
You will be happy to know that there is help in the form of gentle cleansers, toners and moisturizers that we
have discovered to be the ideal solution to get rid of dry skin. There are creams or lotions that will help you
find answers as to why is my face so dry.
We came across very powerful facial cleansers that are fragrance free, and contain no parabens or any other
harmful chemicals. It is just what the doctor ordered for very dry sensitive skin.
The suggestion was made to use a very good natural face moisturizer and to apply it within 5 minutes of washing
your face to lock in the moisture content. Do not forget to apply a good night cream that will rejuvenate your skin
while you are sleeping.
We encourage you to go to our store and get yourself toners, moisturizers, cleansers, day and night creams for
your face if you are seriously want to get rid of dry skin.

Mexico City, Mexico (AFP) July 05, 2013
Tropical storm Erick intensified off Mexico's Pacific coast and was on course to approach hurricane strength by the weekend, US forecasters said Friday.
At 1200 GMT, Erick was packing maximum sustained winds of up to 85 kilometers (50 miles) per hour and was located 235 kilometers (145 miles) south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico.
The storm was moving west-northwest at a speed of 20 kilometers (13 miles) per hour, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
"Strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours and Erick could be near hurricane strength on Saturday," the NHC said in its latest advisory.
Forecasters in Mexico said the storm could cause heavy rain, fierce winds and rough seas off the coasts of the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero in the south of the country and Michoacan in the west.
A tropical storm warning is in effect from the port of Lazaro Cardenas to the port city of Manzanillo.
Authorities have warned coastal communities and shipping companies to take precautions.

A good Merlot will have an abundance of juicy red fruit and plum flavours, a smooth texture and soft, silky tannins. Merlot goes really well with a wide range of foods, from pasta dishes with tomato sauces, to pizzas, most red meats and cheeses. You can trust Wine Selectors to deliver Australia's best Merlots from the winery to your door.

The sweet potato is so much more than just a vehicle for mini-marshmallows in these recipes.
Japanese sweet potatoes are starchier than yams and worth seeking out (Whole Foods should have them).
Spicy hummus, avocado hummus, curried sweet potato hummus—that's just the beginning!
A little bit of coconut oil make this curried hummus a complete dream.
A savory take on classic miso soup.
Chicken noodle miso soup, a spicy kimchi and egg version, and more ways to play with a basic miso soup recipe.
If you're spice-averse, just leave the chiles out!
Fact: vegetables just taste better with coconut milk
Coconut oil and milk are the magic ingredients in this sweet potato recipe.
Adding water is key to a smooth and spoonable consistency.
Adding turmeric to the poaching liquid in this breakfast bowl recipe imparts a deep golden hue to the egg.
Papas al pastor. It's real.
Remember that thing about not putting acid on raw meat? This charred chicken recipe doesn't abide by that rule, and now that we've tried it, we don't, either.
Brown butter and rosemary are the ultimate, timeless pairing for sweet potatoes. Making your own breadcrumbs from sourdough bread shoots this recipe into all-star status, but using store-bought in a pinch is perfectly fine too.
The sweet potato dinner side with unexpected flavors that steals the show.
For this nontraditional okonomiyaki recipe, you need to julienne the potato. Use a mandoline with the shredder attachment, or slice it very thinly into planks and then crosswise into very thin strips. Makes a terrific appetizer!
We tested this pie recipe with canned sweet potatoes, but it just wasn't as good. Go fresh or go home.
Sweet potatoes aren't a throwaway side—don't treat them that way.
Frying ukoy the Bad Saint way is a very active process—the fritter will blow apart in the oil before you tease it back together. Use a tall pot with plenty of extra room since the oil will bubble vigorously when the mix hits it.
This ingenious way to prepare sweet potatoes will make you take back every bad word you ever said about them. This recipe is from Lord Stanley, one of the Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

A lot can happen in three miles. Blisters, shin splints and crippling muscle fatigue. For West seniors, Tyler Fang and Kurt Bruns, these are just the obstacles to be conquered while running cross country for the Panthers.
West starts its season Sept. 5 against region rival Viewmont, and Fang and Bruns will be ready. After a summer spent training together, they hope the hard work they've put toward running will pay off.
"It was a huge milestone for us to break 18 minutes last year," Fang said. "Breaking 17 minutes will be hard, but I think we're able to do it."
Character plays a large role for Fang and Bruns. They are determined and strong-willed the kind of student athletes who lead in the classroom and on the field.
"We compete against each other," Bruns said. "We rely on each other to do the best we can and score for our team."
Fang and Bruns say running for West is about more than the competition. There is a sense of camaraderie among team members that makes it easy to give it their all for each other.
"It's a great group of people, and we enjoy hanging out with each other," Fang said.
At last year's 5A state championship, Fang and Bruns finished sub-18-minute runs, taking 64th and 70th respectively. Those were strong finishes for the juniors, but as seniors they are looking to improve their speed and break the elusive 17-minute mark.
"You have to go all out and push yourself through the pain," Fang said. "I am motivated by the fact that I am trying to push myself and the team."
Fang's dedication has left him turned inside out. Leaving everything on the track, West head coach Barry Makarewicz has seen Fang run so hard at the end of the race that he throws up.
"I am not the only one," Fang said with a laugh.
With a knowing smile toward the underclassmen, Bruns envisions a state championship for West in the future. The program is developing under Makarewicz, and the new stable of runners has the talent to turn the Panthers into a running powerhouse.
"Right now, our goal is to beat Viewmont and win our region," Bruns said.
Fang and Bruns pace Panthers' team
Tyler Fang is looking to attend Washington University in Missouri next fall. Kurt Bruns plans on attending Carlton College in Minnesota.
Bruns trains in the off-season doing cross-country skiing.
Fang and Bruns both run the 1600m for track and field.

Geneva (Sep. 20)
Reports outside Austria of discriminations against the Jews of the country do not correspond with facts, Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg declared here today in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Commenting on his conversation with Neville Laski and Dr. Nahum Goldmann, Jewish leaders, on the position of the Jews in his country, the Chancellor said that Austria does not recognize two categories of citizens.
"There is equality for all," he said, "according to their outward and inward attitude toward the state and society. Thus reports of discriminatory treatment current abroad are not true.
"It is true, however," Chancellor Schuschnigg stated, "that the specific character of the Jewish question in Vienna is primarily due to the political conditions and to the post-war naturalization system, strengthened by the Jewish influx from Eastern Europe. As a consequence there has been a certain reaction, but the law protects all citizens equally if they are loyal."

The hilarious trio, Moe, Lary and Curly, are seen larking around and making funny poses on the red carpet of the special screening event at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Los Angeles.
Moe, Larry and Curly really turned head as they attended the Hollywood premiere of their film "The Three Stooges" over the weekend. The three funny characters stole the attention on Saturday, April 7 when they arrived at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in a rickshaw.
Looking dapper in traditional two-piece black suits, the three eccentric brothers were seen larking around and showing their iconic "nyuk-nyuk" and finger-poking on the red carpet. They were also spotted making some funny poses for the swarming photographers.
After performing the stunt, the actors behind those three characters, Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso, changed their costume and went back to the red carpet in "normal" outfit. Chris looked sleek in a khaki suit that he paired with a checkered shirt. He was joined by his wife, Becki Newton, who looked pretty in a colorful tube dress.
Sean presented a casual look in a plaid shirt, jacket and denims. Meanwhile, Will opted to go with an all-black ensemble that he paired with a matching baseball cap. Joining the two male actors on the red carpet was Jane Lynch, who kept it simple in a long-sleeved purple top and black trousers.
Also spotted attending the premiere event were "Jersey Shore" star Jenni "JWoww" Farley, who looked sexy in a backless silver dress, Sara Rue, who rocked an eye-catching pink mini dress, and Carly Craig, who looked daring in a red tight dress. Perrey Reeves, Alex Borstein, Nicole Sullivan, Kristin Carey and Stefanie Scott were among other celebrity guests coming to the Saturday event.
"The Three Stooges" is based on the mid-20th century classic comedy shorts of the same title. After being left on a nun's doorstep, Moe, Larry and Curly grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of knuckleheaded misadventure. Out to save their childhood home, only the trio could become embroiled in an oddball murder plot, while also stumbling into starring in a phenomenally successful TV reality show.
The slapcstick comedy film will open wide in the U.S. on April 13. Also starring in it are Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson, Snooki, Stephen Collins and Craig Bierko.

Some Pop Candy readers may recognize Kelly Thompson's name. A longtime supporter of the blog, Kelly has contributed several times over the years, often under her screen name, "1979semifinalist."
Kelly e-mailed me the other day about a cool-sounding novel she has written. The book, The Girl Who Would Be King, almost got picked up by a major publishing house, but ultimately, the (silly) publisher couldn't figure out how to market it.
Here's where the Internet comes in handy: On Monday Kelly put a detailed proposal on Kickstarter that included a plot synopsis, video and several incentives. In order to self-publish the book, she'd need $8,000.
Word about The Girl Who Would Be King spread super-quickly, and the project was funded in less than 30 hours! If that's not a record, it probably comes close.
"Without any disrespect intended to traditional publishing ... I have to admit that there has been something truly rewarding about doing this myself," Kelly says. "And by myself, I mean with all of YOUR help. There's a positive grassroots/community aspect of this that has really inspired me."
Kelly plans to start publishing the work as soon as possible and notes that any additional donations will be used to create a better-quality product.
If you're curious about The Girl Who Would Be King, Kelly has decided to serialize a chunk of it on her website. Right now the first eight chapters are up; Kelly says the story might appeal to fans of superheroes, comics, YA fiction and "strong but complicated female leads." In a nutshell, I think Pop Candy readers are the target audience!
Congrats to Kelly on her big accomplishment. I know several publishers must be kicking themselves, and I can't wait to get a copy in my hands.
Whitney has been writing about pop culture for USA TODAY since 1999, when Pop Candy began as a weekly column. Her interests include music festivals, mustaches, Lost, comic books and Andy Warhol. She lives in New York City. More about Whitney | E-mail Whitney

I Am Alone - Poem by Tiffany Kidd
I am alone in this place
Staring up at your pitiful face
I hate it here
You give me so much fear
I came to you
And look what you do
I am alone again
As always I am alone
I hate my fears
I am tired of all my tears
I hate it here
I hate this fear
I wanted you to stay
And this is what i have to say
I love you
I hate you
You left me alone again
I am tired of being alone
Why do you hate me?
Is this an answer I'll never see?
You hurt me, you made me bleed
Do you know what your love is doing to me?
I am alone
I am always alone
Where are you?

There are many options available to prevent foreclosure and we are here to help you navigate them.
Foreclosure FAQs
Innovative Program Update
Mortgage Relief Campaign Helps Homeowners
The housing recovery has been uneven, leaving low-to-moderate income communities behind. With Chicago ranking 4th among U.S. cities with the highest underwater mortgage rates, we launched a Mortgage Relief campaign. Over the course of 15 weeks we have helped 143 homeowners so far qualify for federal assistance to keep their home with hundreds more in process.
The campaign launched in September 2016 to connect homeowners to federal programs before some of the resources expired on December 30, 2016. As a last push effort, we sought to provide relief to homeowners that were underwater, had a high interest rate mortgage, experienced a financial hardship or risked losing their home to foreclosure. Homeowners were encouraged to contact NHS for no-cost assistance by a housing counselor to assess their situation and identify a program to address their situation.
As a result of our efforts, we received nearly 1,000 inquiries, a 75 percent increase in our average call volume. Of those, 51 percent were delinquent borrowers and potential candidates of the Illinois Hardest Hit Fund program or the Home Affordable Modification Program.

wedding bouquet
Decorative mesh provides a full and affordable bouquet accent.
Although this particular bouquet is
arranged into a bouquet holder, the collar treatment would work equally
well as an adornment to a hand-tied bouquet, with the mesh pieces wired
together. Decorative mesh is available in an array of colors and
patterns to suit most any bouquet. A dusting of paint can be used to
duplicate the exact tone of the flowers.
Cut simple leaf shapes from a roll of
decorative mesh.
Curve one end of each "leaf" to form a cone, and attach

Social business software! Collaboration! Online communities! Cloud-based! An apps market!
Sporting an array of tantalizing buzz phrases -- and fueled by the transparent but typically effective underwriter pump-priming ploys -- Jive Software on Tuesday went public with a splash as shares jumped 37.5% above the $12 offer price, enabling it to raise $161 million.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company's going to need the cash, too, because losses are increasing and it doesn't expect to be profitable in "the foreseeable future."
Underwriters Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. trotted out the usual Wall Street tricks to stoke investor interest in an IPO -- moving up pricing by a day, bumping up the offer price (to $12 from $8 to $10) and increasing the number of shares sold (to 13.4 million from 11.7 million) because demand for a piece of this action is so high!
Ask first-day investors of Groupon, LinkedIn and Pandora about demand for shares of those companies these days.
Jive may very well have a good product. Its cloud-based Jive Engage Platform -- which can be accessed via mobile devices -- is designed to enable 1) enterprise employees to communicate and collaborate, and 2) customers to connect socially with each other and business partners, among other things.
Further, taking a page from Apple and Google, Jive has created an apps marketplace for customers and developers.
(And I have to admit this pitch on Jive's apps page is right up my alley: "Who made the rule that business apps have to be complex, soul-sucking, require ten layers of approval to purchase, and an army of consultants to deploy?")
All good stuff for enterprises -- including Jive customers such as HP, UnitedHealth Group, The World Bank and SAP -- and developers. But from an investor standpoint, Jive has challenges: Despite impressive revenue growth (sales soared 73% in the first nine months of this year to $54.8 million from 2010), the red ink is flowing, with the company reporting a net loss of $38 million in the first nine months of 2011, up from $21 million last year.
Further, Jive has some company in the social business software space, as detailed in its S-1 filing:
Our primary competition currently comes from large well-established enterprise software vendors such as Microsoft Corporation and IBM Corporation, both of which are significantly larger than we are, have greater name recognition, larger customer bases, much longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, and are able to provide comprehensive business solutions that are broader in scope than the solution we offer.
Well, sure, but besides all that, Jive has those dinosaurs right where it wants them!
This week will see 11 initial public offerings, the busiest IPO week since March. One of those is Zynga, which is scheduled to make its ticker debut on Friday.

Caffe Gioia is made by Labcaffe, and is "based on a deep passion for coffee," according to their website. They are certainly concerned with quality, having achieved ISO 90001 certification for their manufacturing facility. I found their coffee available in regular and decaf ESE Espresso pod varieties.
Caffe Gioia Classico "White" (Decaf) - I picked up the Caffe Gioia Classico "White" pods for this review. The aroma is clean but not overpowering. The flavor profile is dominated by the tnagy acid flavor, with hints of smokiness. The body is full, but at the expense of the acidity a bit, not the most well rounded cup I have ever tasted.
These ESE Espresso pods are made to be used in popular makers like the Breville Café Roma, the Krups XP4050, and the DeLonghi EC155 espresso machines; all have the ability to use ESE Espresso pods.
Available at Pod Merchant.

Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry
The Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry traces its roots back to 1967, during the centennial celebration of Alaska becoming a territory of the US. At this time, it exhibited only six retired railroad cars that served as troop carriers during World War II and formed the Centennial Train, a traveling historical exhibit. Today, nearly 50 years later, the museum stays put at its 20-acre location that includes a train yard and an exhibit hall, where the staff collects, conserves, and restores artifacts relating to the state's industrial history.

MONTREAL (Oct. 18)
The period between November, 1965 and June, 1966 has been designated for the celebration across Canada of the 60th anniversary of Canadian Labor Zionism, according to an announcement today by Leon Kronitz, president of the Labor Zionist movement of Canada and chairman of its special 60th Jubilee Committee. This nation-wide series of celebrations will mark the anniversary of the establishment of the first branch of Poale Zion in Canada.
The series of commemorations will be inaugurated in Montreal at a meeting on November 14 at which Marie Syrkin, member of the executive of the Jewish Agency, will be guest speaker. Celebrations in Canadian cities large and small will follow.
Mr. Kronitz stressed the pioneering role of Labor Zionism in the establishment of outstanding Jewish community institutions which are now taken for granted. Among these institutions are: Canadian Jewish Congress; Jewish Peoples Schools and Peretz Schools in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Windsor, Jewish public libraries in various cities, the Israel Histadrut Campaign, and Canapal — Canada Israel Investment Corporation. Mr. Kronitz pointed with particular pride to the Movement's youth organization, Habonim, and to its network of five camps from Montreal to Vancouver.

A rushing, frigid creek, sheer
cliffs, a stranded dog and a near-hypothermic man all added up to
one challenging rescue for the Tonto Rim Search and Rescue squad.
On Wednesday, TRSAR had its hands full with its first mission of the
new year.
A Rim Country man in his 50s to 60s was swept down Tonto Creek near
the R-Bar-C Boy Scout Ranch after attempting to rescue his dog,
which had been tossed down stream by the rushing creek.
TRSAR Commander Bill Pitterle said around 2:30 p.m. he got a call
that the man was hanging precariously on a boulder in the middle of
the creek waiting for rescue.
Reportedly, the man and a woman companion were walking two dogs near
the creek when one dog got into the creek and was quickly swept
downstream. The dog managed to get out of the chilly water, but on
the other side where the man could not reach him.
"In his attempts to get the dog, he got in the water and got swept
downstream a quarter of a mile," Pitterle said.
In the course of his quarter-mile journey, the man went over several
waterfalls, eventually going over a 15-foot high waterfall and
becoming pinned underneath the water.
Through sheer panic and flailing, the man freed himself and got up
onto a rock in the middle of the creek, he said.
Although the man had managed to secure himself on the rock, he could
not get off because of the fast-moving creek.
Luckily, the woman with him had witnessed the whole ordeal and
called for help.
The Gila County Sheriff's Office responded and called TRSAR for
When Pitterle arrived, he realized the man was located 200 feet down
in the middle of a canyon, so it would be impossible to hike in.
Volunteers rigged a pulley system and then lowered Pitterle and
another volunteer down to a ledge across from the man. Although the
man was still 12 feet away, they managed to toss over a harness.
It took a while for rescuers to talk the man through putting on the
harness because he was very cold and had been sitting on the rock
for four hours.
"He was not in great shape," he said.
Since the man did not have the strength, rescuers pulled him up 200
By 6:30 p.m., the man was safe in his car and had few injuries.
However, the dog was still stranded on the other side of the creek.
A sheriff's deputy and several TRSAR volunteers managed to get to
the dog and safely bring him back to his owner.

Second Eleven Championship
Day 1 of 3
Lancashire 320 Notts 13-2
It was an attritional day's cricket on the first day of this Championship match at Todmorden.
Lancashire won the toss and batted under grey skies and by lunch had compiled 135-1 against some tidy bowling from the Notts attack. However, three chances were offered by the batsmen and the innings could have taken a different course had they been taken.
Reece and Bentley were the batsmen reprieved but in the afternoon as the sun appeared for the first time this week, Nottinghamshire's fortunes changed.
Reece (66), Parry (4) and Newby (0) all fell to sharp catches in the slips. Bentley was bowled by Elstone for 73 but the main obstacle was Jordan Clark who scored 90 before he was smartly caught cutting at gully by Karl Turner having hit 5 sixes and 11 fours.
He somewhat ruined Adam Dobb's figures. The young off spinner had bowled very well in his opening spell of twelve overs, only conceding 35 runs, but went for 33 from his next four.
Ben Phillips was more economical with 2-29 from 22 overs whilst George Bacon ended with 2-40 but Martin Weightman took the honours with 3-47 from 16 overs.
Lancashire were all out shortly before the scheduled close and the last four overs proved costly for Notts as they lost Turner and Patel.

Coca-Cola Amatil chief executive Terry Davis has blamed the loss of Foster's to overseas owners on the lack of innovation by the brewer.
Mr Davis said if the $12.3 billion takeover of Foster's by Anglo-South African brewer SABMiller is successful it will mean by next year 90 per cent of all beer consumed in Australia will be foreign-owned.
Lion Nathan, the nation's second biggest brewer, is owned by Kirin of Japan.
Speaking at a business lunch today Mr Davis said he believed we were still in the midst of the global financial crisis, with economic uncertainty overseas and the proposed carbon tax in Australia destabilising confidence.
He said without a circuit breaker the Australian economy could continue to limp along for some time.
Mr Davis said Australians were worried about the future if the economy and business. He added that he believed the federal government did not understand the impact the high Australian dollar was having on the economy.
Consumers were also suffering from low confidence and were being swayed by the string of sales and promotions being offered by retailers.
He said when travelling overseas recently he had heard other business people talk to him about "sovereign risk" in Australia, something he had not witnessed before.
Mr Davis added that Coca-Cola Amatil would not repeat the mistakes of Foster's by taking it's eye of innovation, vowing Coca-Cola Amatil would continue to reinvest in its business.
He said the decline in beer consumption year after year against better growth rates for new products such as cider proved innovation would be rewarded by the market.
He said Foster's didn't reinvest it's profit back into it's business and customers.

In her first magical collection of poetry, Jennifer Elise Foerster weaves together a mythic and geographic exploration of a woman's coming of age in a dislocated time.
Leaving Tulsa
, a book of
Part coming-of-age story, part road elegy, part history, part magic, Leaving Tulsa scorches the boundaries of time, place, and self as the speaker both explores and challenges her Muscogee and European heritage within a contested America.
—The Missouri Review
Wow. This first book of poems by Jennifer Foerster reminds me of the urgent vision fueling Kerouac's On the Road. The road is a demanding being. Foerster spins her poem-songs like wheels. She's from a younger generation, and not a man but a young native woman trying to put the story of a broken people back together.
—Joy Harjo, author of Crazy Brave: A Memoir
In these poems spun from what has been scattered, Jennifer Foerster fashions the vessels not to re-gather those 'relics/littering the plains,' but to honor, to name. She herself has learned, beautifully.
—Eleni Sikelianos, author of Body Clock
For a book that unfurled like a wild, restless road trip, I took great delight in Jennifer Foerster's Leaving Tulsa. Sensuous, generous, full of beginnings and endings, this map of America flapping in the dark meditates on Foerster's Muskegee ancestry, the American prairie, the loss of her grandmother's land, and her shard-like rediscovery in California.
—Tess Taylor, NPR
road elegies and laments, travels from Oklahoma to the edges of the American continent through landscapes at once stark and lush, ancient and apocalyptic. The imagery that cycles through the poems—fire, shell, highway, wing—gives the collection a rich lyrical-dramatic texture. Each poem builds on a theme of searching for a lost "self"—an "other" America—that crosses biblical, tribal, and ecological mythologies.
Leaving Tulsa
, Foerster is not afraid of the strange or of estrangement. The narrator occupies a space in between and navigates the offbeat experiences of a speaker that is of both Muscogee and European heritage. With bold images and candid language, Foerster challenges the perceptions of what it means to be Native, what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be an American today. Ultimately, these brave and luminous poems engage and shatter the boundaries of time, self, and continent.
Foerster's journey transcends both geographic space and the confines of the page to live vividly in the mind of the reader.

With great fanfare, Steve makes a pronouncement: the single most important database you own is your collection of e-mail and other documents. (Excluding the spam, grumbles Angela.) If you keep your e-mail, excluding the spam, you have a record of your activities that can go back years. Add in all the documents you've created--letters, photos, IM transcripts, whatever--and most of us have a pretty good snapshot of our entire lives (or an important cross section of them, anyway) stashed in our computers. The problem is how to find something amidst all the ones and zeros.
What you need, says Angela, is a Google for your hard drive; as it happens, Google will be happy to provide such a service. And not just Google: Yahoo has one, Microsoft has one, and there are others, some of which actually cost money. The category as a whole is known as desktop search, and the Duo dig into the options: Steve as a longtime fan, and Angela as a naturally organized person with a great deal of skepticism about any product that claims to know it all.
Steve notes that computers are naturally well-designed to locate specific items in a huge body of data. Desktop search software, he says, does that without requiring the user to make any real effort upfront. (In other words, the time Angela spends on her meticulous file-naming system could be better used doing other things, such as making sure all the windows she has open are in pixel-perfect alignment, not that she does that on an hourly basis.) In fact, most operating systems and many e-mail programs have at least rudimentary search tools built into them. But dedicated desktop search tools can scrutinize data in many formats--and they're very, very fast.
They do that, says Steve, by creating an index of every word on your hard drive. Then, instead of having to go through every document one by one (as, for instance, Windows XP's search does), they just look through the index, find the appropriate stuff, and present you with the item you were seeking--or, more often, a list of items that match your search criteria. That index takes a bit of time to create when you first install the program--Angela recommends leaving your computer on overnight to let the program do its thing--but once that's done, subsequent updates are so quick as to be almost unnoticeable.
Yahoo Desktop Search made the biggest impression on Steve. It's free, it's extremely fast at both indexing and searching, and you can open a preview pane that lets you see the results without having to open the document. By default the program searches just about every sort of file, but there are various ways of narrowing down a search, including buttons to have the program focus on only documents or e-mail. Steve noted one problem with the version he tested (repeated crashes of Microsoft Outlook) but he suspects that the problem will be resolved as the program moves through its current beta incarnation.

"I felt like they wasted all of our time," Wallace said. "It definitely hurt."
Kevin Garnett had 25 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Timberwolves to their fifth straight victory.
"We're right where we want to be," Garnett said.
Garnett is impressed with what Detroit's big move does for the Pistons.
"This team is one of the best teams in the NBA, (not just) the East," he said. "They're coming out of the East."
Sam Cassell scored 16 and Latrell Sprewell had 12 for the Midwest Division-leading Timberwolves, who have won nine of 11.
"It was a huge win," said Wally Szczerbiak, who scored seven points in his second game since being activated from the injured list.
Wallace was dealt just before the trading deadline Thursday after playing only one game for Atlanta, which acquired the temperamental player from Portland last week. He scored four points on 2-of-6 shooting and had two rebounds.
The Pistons found out at halftime that Wallace and Mike James, acquired in the three-team trade that also involved Boston, were not eligible to play.
The league informed Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars of its decision, he relayed it to Detroit coach Larry Brown, who then told Wallace the news a few minutes before the second half started.
"I feel bad for my team, I feel bad for the people doing the game and I feel bad for the people that came here," Brown said. "That's not right."
Wallace sat on the bench in his warmups in the second half, and encouraged his new teammates during timeouts. James had one foul in five minutes.
"All the necessary paperwork was not received by the league," Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said. "It will probably be cleared up (Saturday).
The Pistons expect Wallace and James to play on Sunday at home against Orlando.
"It's a matter that will have to be reviewed by the league," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said.
Minnesota was in control for much of the game, but it didn't win easily.
Cassell kept the Pistons' hopes alive by missing two free throws with 31.6 seconds left.
After Richard Hamilton's layup made it 85-83, Sprewell missed a free throw with 19 seconds left.
Hamilton made another layup to pull Detroit within one with 14.4 seconds left, then Cassell made two free throws.
Sprewell missed two at the line, the second intentionally, with 1.3 seconds left.
"I was telling Latrell to make it, and some of the guys were telling him not to," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "I told him after the game that he better listen to me next time."
The Pistons could not get a shot off at the end of the game.
Detroit's Chauncey Billups fouled out after reaching his second career triple-double with 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Hamilton scored 24 points, Ben Wallace had 17 points and 12 rebounds and reserve Corliss Williamson added 12.
The Pistons have lost seven of eight after they won 17 of 20.
When Wallace stepped on the court with 4:31 left in the first quarter, he was welcomed with a rousing, standing ovation.
"It was great. It was all love," Wallace said. "That showed me that they want me here and that showed basketball is alive and well in 'The D'."
When he didn't return to the floor in the second half, fans started chanting "We Want Wal-lace!"
"I was saying, 'Me Too!'" Wallace joked.
Notes: Minnesota activated center Michael Olowokandi from the injured list Friday. He missed 35 games after having surgery on his right knee injury. Darrick Martin was released to make room for Olowokandi. ... Detroit activated Tremaine Fowlkes on Friday after he missed 26 games with a back injury.

Former Wildcat Blackwelder Wins 2014 Symetra Classic
May 24, 2014
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Former University of Kentucky women's golfer Mallory Blackwelder captured a two-shot victory over Emily Talley at the 2014 Symetra Classic at Raintree Country Club in Charlotte, N.C., marking her first career win.
Blackwelder shot the low round of the final round, a 5-under 67, to post 10-under for the tournament.
"It feels amazing," Blackwelder said. "I have been thinking about this moment for a long long time and it's really surreal. I didn't look at the leaderboard on the back nine so I wasn't really sure what kind of position I was in. I knew obviously that I was playing great so walking up to the 18th I saw that I had a three shot lead and I was on the green so I knew that I was on cruise control and that just felt amazing."
The Kentucky native followed up rounds of 69 and 70 with the 67 to take home the first place check of $15,000. The victory moves Blackwelder into the top-10 on the Volvik Race For The Card money list at sixth, up from the 24th position that she occupied entering the week.
"I just played really solid all week," Blackwelder said. "Last week my mom came, who's pretty much my swing coach and teacher, she came on Sunday to Asheville and we worked on my short game a lot. I had a lot of easy up-and-downs last week but I wasn't converting so we just made a few tweaks. I changed my putting setup a little bit. My posture had just gotten a little slumped so I just stood taller to it this week. I putted great and I hit the ball great so I played almost flawlessly with the exception of the bogey on the first hole."
Blackwelder's mother stayed around the Tar Heel state following the lesson in Asheville and was able to witness her daughter capturing her first tile on the Symetra Tour.
"It just couldn't be better. She hasn't gotten to watch me play a whole lot the last couple of years so it's just amazing that she could be here," Blackwelder explained. "Once I kind of knew that I was winning I kind of flashed back to when I won the Kentucky High School state tournament by 10 shots and she was there and we were crying after the round. It just means so much that she's here. She has put her heart and soul into my career and made a lot of sacrifices and it's just really special for her to be here."
While her mother was in attendance for the win, several of her other family members who are involved in golf followed from afar, including her brother Myles Blackwelder who is on the bag for Jodi Ewart Shadoff in the LPGA event in Mobile.
"Hopefully she didn't mind," Blackwelder joked of her brother asking Ewart Shadoff for updates. "That's awesome. We are a huge golf family obviously and everybody knows what's going on. I'm sure that as soon as my fiancée got done on the golf course today, he caddies for Graham DeLett, I'm sure he was hearing from mom and my dad's player missed the cut this week so I know he was probably checking the leaderboard every five seconds. It's just awesome that we're all so involved and that we understand what each other do because this is a very weird life that we live. Tour life is very strange so the fact that I have so many people who truly understand what I'm trying to do and who really support me is just awesome."
While Blackwelder obviously felt the support and love from her family she also felt it from her fellow players on the Symetra Tour, several of whom stuck around to douse her with water following her win.
"That was awesome," Blackwelder said of the celebration. "It's funny because I really honestly, I know this sounds crazy, but I was picturing that this week. I was picturing getting water dumped on me. I just feel really comfortable with this golf course. I'm not really sure what it is about it but I honestly was picturing that. I told my mom that last night and I obviously I wasn't trying to get ahead of myself but that comforting knowing that I was comfortable with the idea of me winning and that it didn't make me nervous. It's just awesome that my girls came to support me. Some of my best friends are out here and it's just really awesome."

Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
As I've said on the forum before, I am a teacher. I also coach Baseball for my High School. My wonderful AD scheduled us for a tournament on April 13th. An all day, AM to PM tournament. Oh, and it just so happens April 13th is the trout opener where I live in PA. :ranting3: I am 47 years old and have never missed an opening day in my memory. So my question is:
1. Do I resign my coaching job?
2. Beat the snot out of my AD?(which would have the same effect as #1)
3. Cry softly as I coach the team?
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
If you love coaching the kids, then the only real option is #3, as satisfying as #2 would be.
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
#3 because you're the kids' coach! However I think you'll be coming down with a cold on April 15th and should probably take the day off...
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Same problem here. I have to go to IUP to see my daughter perform and it is going to waste that ENTIRE DAY. It makes it harder as you drive by some nice streams as you are going to IUP. Trust me.
But, well, she comes first. It rips me apart and my wife is bringing along her iPod and turn the volume high as we pass the streams along the way because she doesn't want to hear my b^^^^ing.
The only thing that helps is that my daughter is the one who got me back into fishing. She was so enthusiastic when she was young and she caught fish the very first time she threw line into the water. I have taken her out as much as I could over the years until she was 16 and fishing all of a sudden was not fun. I had to always slay the worm and remove the fish, but I have (not enough) memories of us fishing and they will have to do.
Suck it up and go with #3. There will be memories from that, too, which you can keep forever.
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Option 3 is the way to go. Use it as a teaching moment to your students and your team. Go out on the 2nd day or the next day you can fish and enjoy the extra elbow room;)
One other thought...if you want to keep your opening day streak alive, you COULD venture to SEPA and hit the March 30th Opening Day. As if things in PA regulations/laws can't be backward enough, we need 2 opening days. :rolleyes:
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Try the "Bull Durham" option.... flood the field the night before. Lament publicly about the awful luck....but then go fishing!
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Take the kids fishing. :rolleyes:
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!
We'll have to keep our eyes on the police report for Berlin PA, might rival Bozeman :) I can see the picture in the paper - you in your waders, flooded fields, kids crying. Be sure to post it! :popcorn:

Guest columnist
A bipartisan group of senators has presented a bill to reform the excesses of National Security Agency spying upon Americans.
This bill would end NSA collection of Americans' phone records in bulk and close a loophole allowing NSA to search Americans' communications without a warrant.
It would also create a "constitutional advocate" to represent the American people before the secretive FISA court that approves requests for foreign surveillance.
Private companies such as Google would be permitted to disclose what forms of data they are forced to hand over to the government.
Sponsors of the bill are Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).
Latino American series records discrimination
Syndicated columnist Esther Cepeda was disappointed that "the first major documentary series ('Latino Americans') that highlights the varied history and highlights of Latinos" strongly emphasized the negative aspects of Latino life in the U.S.
"On display is every type of discrimination, bigotry and intolerance toward newly arrived immigrants from Latin America," she writes, "with few mentions of commonplace brutalities 'back home.'"
Cepeda continues, "The endless wrongs catalogued in this six-hour film make you wonder why anyone would want to come to such an awful land in the first place."
Watching the first two hours of the film, one saw what she was referring to. However, key words above are "come to a…land."
The Mexican-Americans interviewed didn't believe they had come to a foreign land. The title of Episode 1 says it all: "Foreigners in Their Own Land."
Many Mexicans consider the southwestern U.S. to be their land that the U.S. government took from them by hook, crook and the Mexican-American War.
The names of Southwest cities, streets, mountains and rivers are mostly Spanish (or Indian languages), yet Spanish is considered foreign here and often restricted by Anglos.
The only U.S. border to have a long, imposing fence is the one with Mexico, and Congress wants to extend that fence.
It's not surprising that American citizens of Latino heritage feel discriminated against.
To whom does our territory truly belong?
The Latino Americans series displayed a map of the U.S. with different colors representing those portions of this country obtained from England, France, Spain, Mexico and Russia.
The narrative didn't say the U.S. should give these regions back to these nations, but the implication was that Mexico has a claim to the Southwest.
On the other hand, nearly all of North and South America originally belonged to the Indians and was stolen from them by the European powers.
Spaniards took a large portion of this hemisphere from the native population. Mexicans later overthrew the Spaniards, and then the norteamericanos defeated the Mexicans.
Does this land morally belong to the victorious Americans who now occupy and control it? Or to its original inhabitants, the Native Americans?
Perhaps PBS should next produce a series on Native Americans and their fate 'in their own land.'
Rebels can be even worse than tyrants
Having taught seminars covering in detail the evils of absolute political rule, this instructor in hindsight now posits that not every tyrant is worse than the revolutionary body that replaces him.
Emperor Nicholas II of Russia had thousands of innocent citizens killed and sent thousands more to Siberia. He resisted all efforts to liberalize Russia.
Yet, his successors — revolutionaries such as Lenin and Stalin — were far more brutal and far less liberal than the Tsar. He was inept, whereas they were extremely efficient at murder and exploitation of the masses.
Had Nicholas survived revolution and the Great War, countries like France, to whom he owed vast sums, could have pressured him to end the repression of his people, who he claimed loved him.
It then took Russia 70 years to rid herself of the Communist revolutionaries. Democracy often develops slowly where it has not previously existed.
Cuba has suffered more than half a century from the Castro revolution. We could easily have pressured the former Cuban dictator Batista to grant liberal reforms and thus avoided the Castro takeover.
Unfortunately, American governments often catered to those dictators who would let our businesses monopolize their resources and exploit their people. We could have done the reverse.
Sometimes a popular rebellion can lead to democracy, but there is little evidence of this in the Middle East and Africa.
Financial stress can cause person's illness
More than 200 recent studies have established a connection between financial stress and sickness. One study found that unemployment can significantly impact an individual's mental health.
Since 1999, the only Americans whose life expectancy has increased have been those 65 and over.
