A leader brings forth a future that wouldn't have come into existence otherwise and inspires others to live into that vision. There is a new model of leadership, success, and power emerging on the planet – one more aligned with our deepest values and highest wisdom, and available for the evolutionary impulse to create and lead through.
In this conversation, transformational leader and co-creator of the Shift Network's Leadership Academy Sherri Lassila will join with Evolutionary Collective Founder Patricia Albere to explore what leadership looks like from the new consciousness of "shared unity". What would it mean to lead from a paradigm of non-separation and a deep knowing of our essential interconnectedness? And how can we each live and lead as an embodiment of the evolutionary impulse, or "optimizing force", in service to and partnership with the creative forces of existence?
Join Patricia Albere and Sherri Lassila in what promises to be an exciting discussion of the key distinctions and core shifts to fully embody this new paradigm of evolutionary leadership.

Soon-to-be high school freshmen and their parents are encouraged to attend an annual high school magnet academy open house tonight to begin sorting through their career options.
The open house at Buchholz High School will feature displays by all 10 of the magnet programs available in the county. The open house is also a place to pick up an application form as well as information on deadlines, explanations and minimum standards for acceptance.
Santa Fe Community College is partnering with the school district on the open house as part of a bigger educational picture.
"We want these students to get a jump-start on their education so they won't have to retake the basics if they enroll here at Santa Fe after high school," said Billie Monroe, the SFCC Articulation Coordinator. "For example, a student who goes through the Gainesville High School Academy of Health Professions is not going to have to take the basics all over again in our health profession programs."
Shannon Ritter, the School Board's teacher specialist in career and technical education, said 700 people attended last year's open house.
"This is really similar to a trade show and it's a place for parents and students to begin to think about what interests them," Ritter said.
In the weeks following the open house at Buchholz, each magnet program holds an open house at the school where the program is offered.
Students have until Feb. 15 to get their application for a magnet program in the mail. Ritter said acceptance letters will be postmarked by March 7 and then students have until March 21 to sign and get their commitment letters postmarked.

LIU Brooklyn-UW Box Score | Season Stats
Powered by a season-high 13 kills from senior middle blocker Laura Beach and a career-high 11 from redshirt freshman outside hitter Bayly Poor, the University of Wyoming Cowgirl volleyball team withstood all challenges and emerged with a thrilling straight-set victory (25-21, 25-14, 25-15) over LIU Brooklyn at the Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus on Saturday.
Senior setter Courtney Chacon recorded a season-high 37 assists to guide the Wyoming offense to a season-best .340 hitting percentage. It was her third match this season with at least 30 assists. Senior outside hitter Kayla Slofkiss posted seven kills and nine digs for UW, as sophomore Reed Copeland posted a season-high eight blocks in addition to five kills for the Cowgirls. Poor was one dig away from her first-career double-double, and junior Lily Austin also recorded nine digs against the Blackbirds.
Tied at 11-11 in the first set, a few attacking errors from the Blackbirds put the Cowgirls up 14-11, before LIU Brooklyn raced back to even things at 16-16. A service ace from Chacon and two from Beach were part of a Cowgirl rally that allowed UW to hold on for the set one victory, 25-22. Beach led the way offensively with six kills and two service aces. Redshirt freshman Bayly Poor had four kills, while Chacon dished out 14 assists in the first stanza.
Two kills from Poor and one from Copeland gave Wyoming a 14-10 lead in the second set. After LIU Brooklyn called time, UW kept its rhythm and ran away with it. Wyoming went on an 11-4 run to close out the set. Poor once again had four kills to pace UW in the second set. Chacon recorded 11 assists, while Copeland had three of her eight blocks.
The Cowgirls jumped out to a 6-4 lead in the third set and never looked back. UW recorded runs of 6-0 and 9-5 to close out the set and claim the sweep over LIU Brooklyn. Beach and Chacon showed their senior leadership in the final frame. Beach, who also recorded a career-high four service aces, had five kills in the final set, as Chacon had 12 assists. Poor and Austin each had three digs to help close out the sweep over LIU Brooklyn.
Wyoming will be back in action at next week's UniWyo Invite in Laramie. The tournament will be held Sept. 9-10 and will include Eastern Washington, Samford and CSU-Northridge.

In 2009, the Australian Goals for Schooling recommended that "Curriculum will be designed to develop successful learners, confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens" (2009, MCEETYA, p.214). At Knox Grammar School we believe that the key to ensuring that the curriculum reflects the needs of 21st century learners so that boys are prepared for a changing world where creativity, and critical thinking and problem solving skills will be essential is through the transformation of programming and assessment, and pedagogy. I am committed to ensuring that our teaching and learning enables all boys to realise their potential and unleash their creativity. I am also a lecturer at the University of New South Wales in English Method and technology.

Made pulled pork and ABT'S today. Pork took just over 9 hours to hit temp. Used oak and apple. Was my first time doing pulled pork, and first marathon smoke. Pork was juicy and flavorful.
Nothing wrong with smoking at 250-275.
My RF likes to settle in around that range too.
I just let it stay there.
I don't notice any difference between 225 & 275 except the food cooks faster.
Very good looking food.
You'll get used to how your pit wants to operate.
Then it will get easier and easier.
Points to you, nice smokin'.
Have fun.

S.Ct. on Postal Service history & general delivery
No. 80-608.
Supreme Court of United States.
Argued April 21, 1981.
Decided June 25, 1981.
115*115 Edwin S. Kneedler argued the cause for appellant. On the briefs were Solicitor General McCree, Acting Assistant Attorney General Martin, Deputy Solicitor General Geller, Peter Buscemi, William Kanter, and John C. Hoyle.
Jon H. Hammer argued the cause for appellees. With him on the briefs was E. Payson Clark, Jr.[*]
Briefs of amici curiae urging affirmance were filed by Adam Yarmolinsky and Stephen T. Owen for Independent Sector et al.; and by John R. Myer, David A. Webster, Virginia S. Taylor, E. Richard Larson, and Bruce J. Ennis for the Piedmont Heights Civil Club, Inc., et al.
JUSTICE REHNQUIST delivered the opinion of the Court.
We noted probable jurisdiction to decide whether the United States District Court for the Southern District of 116*116 New York correctly determined that 18 U. S. C. § 1725, which prohibits the deposit of unstamped "mailable matter" in a letterbox approved by the United States Postal Service, unconstitutionally abridges the First Amendment rights of certain civic associations in Westchester County, N. Y. 449 U. S. 1076 (1981). Jurisdiction of this Court rests on 28 U. S. C. § 1252.
Appellee Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations (Council) is an umbrella organization for a number of civic groups in Westchester County, N. Y. Appellee Saw Mill Valley Civic Association is one of the Council's member groups. In June 1976, the Postmaster in White Plains, N. Y., notified the Chairman of the Saw Mill Valley Civic Association that the association's practice of delivering messages to local residents by placing unstamped notices and pamphlets in the letterboxes of private homes was in violation of 18 U. S. C. § 1725, which provides:
"Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined not more than $300."
Saw Mill Valley Civic Association and other Council members were advised that if they continued their practice of placing unstamped notices in the letterboxes of private homes it could result in a fine not to exceed $300.
In February 1977, appellees filed this suit in the District Court for declaratory and injunctive relief from the Postal Service's threatened enforcement of § 1725. Appellees contended that the enforcement of § 1725 would inhibit their 117*117 communication with residents of the town of Greenburgh and would thereby deny them the freedom of speech and freedom of the press secured by the First Amendment.
The District Court initially dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted. 448 F. Supp. 159 (SDNY 1978). On appeal, however, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed and remanded the case to the District Court to give the parties "an opportunity to submit proof as to the extent of the handicap to communication caused by enforcement of the statute in the area involved, on the one hand, and the need for the restriction for protection of the mails, on the other." 586 F. 2d 935, 936 (1978). In light of this language, it was not unreasonable for the District Court to conclude that it had been instructed to "try" the statute, much as more traditional issues of fact are tried by a court, and that is what the District Court proceeded to do.
In the proceedings on remand, the Postal Service offered three general justifications for § 1725: (1) that § 1725 protects mail revenues; (2) that it facilitates the efficient and secure delivery of the mails; and (3) that it promotes the privacy of mail patrons. More specifically, the Postal Service argued that elimination of § 1725 could cause the overcrowding of mailboxes due to the deposit of civic association notices. Such overcrowding would in turn constitute an impediment to the delivery of the mails. Testimony was offered that § 1725 aided the investigation of mail theft by restricting access to letterboxes, thereby enabling postal investigators to assume that anyone other than a postal carrier or a householder who opens a mailbox may be engaged in the violation of the law. On this point, a postal inspector testified that 10% of the arrests made under the external mail theft statute, 18 U. S. C. § 1708, resulted from surveillance-type operations which benefit from enforcement of § 1725. Testimony was also introduced that § 1725 has been 118*118 particularly helpful in the investigation of thefts of government benefit checks from letterboxes.[1]
The Postal Service introduced testimony that it would incur additional expense if § 1725 were either eliminated or held to be inapplicable to civic association materials. If delivery in mailboxes were expanded to permit civic association circulars—but not other types of nonmailable matter such as commercial materials—mail carriers would be obliged to remove and examine individual unstamped items found in letterboxes to determine if their deposit there was lawful. Carriers would also be confronted with a larger amount of unstamped mailable matter which they would be obliged to separate from outgoing mail. The extra time resulting from these additional activities. When computed on a nationwide basis, would add substantially to the daily cost of mail delivery.
The final justification offered by the Postal Service for § 1725 was that the statute provided significant protection for the privacy interests of postal customers. Section 1725 provides postal customers the means to send and receive mails without fear of their correspondence becoming known to members of the community.
119*119 The Postal Service also argued at trial that the enforcement of § 1725 left appellees with ample alternative means of delivering their message. The appellees can deliver their messages either by paying postage, by hanging their notices on doorknobs, by placing their notices under doors or under a doormat, by using newspaper or nonpostal boxes affixed to houses or mailbox posts, by telephoning their constituents, by engaging in person-to-person delivery in public areas, by tacking or taping their notices on a door post or letterbox post, or by placing advertisements in local newspapers. A survey was introduced comparing the effectiveness of certain of these alternatives which arguably demonstrated that between 70-75% of the materials placed under doors or doormats or hung from doorknobs were found by the homeowner whereas approximately 82% of the items placed in letterboxes were found. This incidental difference, it was argued, cannot be of constitutional significance.
The District Court found the above arguments of the Postal Service insufficient to sustain the constitutionality of § 1725 at least as applied to these appellees. 490 F. Supp. 157 (1980). Relying on the earlier opinion of the Court of Appeals, the District Court noted that the legal standard it was to apply would give the appellees relief if the curtailment of their interest in free expression resulting from enforcement of § 1725 substantially outweighed the Government's interests in the effective delivery and protection of the mails. The District Court concluded that the appellees had satisfied this standard.
The District Court based its decision on several findings. The court initially concluded that because civic associations generally have small cash reserves and cannot afford the applicable postage rates, mailing of the appellees' message would be financially burdensome. Similarly, because of the relatively slow pace of the mail, use of the mails at certain times would impede the appellees' ability to communicate quickly with their constituents. Given the widespread awareness 120*120 of the high cost and limited celerity of the mails, the court probably could have taken judicial notice of both of these findings.
The court also found that none of the alternative means of delivery suggested by the Postal Service were "nearly as effective as placing civic association flyers in approved mailboxes; so that restriction on the [appellees'] delivery methods to such alternatives also constitutes a serious burden on [appellees'] ability to communicate with their constituents." 490 F. Supp., at 160.[2] Accordingly, the District Court declared § 1725 unconstitutional as applied to appellees and the Council's member associations and enjoined the Postal Service from enforcing it as to them.
The present case is a good example of Justice Holmes' aphorism that "a page of history is worth a volume of logic." 121*121 New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, 256 U. S. 345, 349 (1921). For only by review of the history of the postal system and its present statutory and regulatory scheme can the constitutional challenge to § 1725 be placed in its proper context.
By the early 18th century, the posts were made a sovereign function in almost all nations because they were considered a sovereign necessity. Government without communication is impossible, and until the invention of the telephone and telegraph, the mails were the principal means of communication. Kappel Commission, Toward Postal Excellence, Report of the President's Commission on Postal Organization 47 (Comm. Print 1968). Little progress was made in developing a postal system in Colonial America until the appointment of Benjamin Franklin, formerly Postmaster at Philadelphia, as Deputy Postmaster General for the American Colonies in 1753. In 1775, Franklin was named the first Postmaster General by the Continental Congress, and, because of the trend toward war, the Continental Congress undertook its first serious effort to establish a secure mail delivery organization in order to maintain communication between the States and to supply revenue for the Army. D. Adie, An Evaluation of Postal Service Wage Rates 2 (American Enterprise Institute, 1977).
Given the importance of the post to our early Nation, it is not surprising that when the United States Constitution was ratified in 1789. Art. I, § 8, provided Congress the power "To establish Post Offices and post Roads" and "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper" for executing this task. The Post Office played a vital yet largely unappreciated role in the development of our new Nation. Stagecoach trails which were improved by the Government to become post roads quickly became arteries of commerce. Mail contracts were of great assistance to the early development of new means of transportation such as canals, railroads, and eventually airlines. Kappel Commission. Toward 122*122 Postal Excellence, supra, at 46. During this developing stage, the Post Office was to many citizens situated across the country the most visible symbol of national unity. Ibid.
The growth of postal service over the past 200 years has been remarkable. Annual revenues increased from less than $40 million in 1790 to close to $200 million in 1829 when the Postmaster General first became a member of the Cabinet. However, expenditures began exceeding revenues as early as the 1820's as the postal structure struggled to keep pace with the rapid growth of the country westward. Because of this expansion, delivery costs to the South and West raised average postal costs nationally. To prevent competition from private express services, Congress passed the Postal Act of 1845, which prohibited competition in letter mail and established what is today referred to as the "postal monopoly."
More recently, to deal with the problems of increasing deficits and shortcomings in the overall management and efficiency of the Post Office. Congress passed the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. This Act transformed the Post Office Department into a Government-owned corporation called the United States Postal Service. The Postal Service today is among the largest employers in the world, with a work force nearing 700,000 processing 106.3 billion pieces of mail each year. Ann. Rep. of the Postmaster General 2, 11 (1980). The Postal Service is the Nation's largest user of floor space, and the Nation's largest nonmilitary purchaser of transport, operating more than 200,000 vehicles. Its rural carriers alone travel over 21 million miles each day and its city carriers walk or drive another million miles a day. D. Adie, An Evaluation of Postal Service Wage Rates, supra, at 1. Its operating budget in fiscal 1980 exceeded $17 billion. Ann. Rep. of the Postmaster General, supra, at 2.
Not surprisingly, Congress has established a detailed statutory and regulatory scheme to govern this country's vast postal system. See 39 U. S. C. § 401 et seq. and the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), which has been incorporated by 123*123 reference in the Code of Federal Regulations, 39 CFR pt. 3 (1980). Under 39 U. S. C. § 403 (a), the Postal Service is directed to "plan, develop, promote, and provide adequate and efficient postal services at fair and reasonable rates and fees." Section 403 (b) (1) similarly directs the Postal Service "to maintain an efficient system of collection, sorting, and delivery of the mail nationwide," and under 39 U. S. C. § 401 the Postal Service is broadly empowered to adopt rules and regulations designed to accomplish the above directives.
Acting under this authority, the Postal Service has provided by regulation that both urban and rural postal customers must provide appropriate mail receptacles meeting detailed specifications concerning size, shape, and dimensions. DMM 155.41, 155.43, 156.311, 156.51, and 156.54. By regulation, the Postal Service has also provided that "[e]very letter box or other receptacle intended or used for the receipt or delivery of mail on any city delivery route, rural delivery route, highway contract route, or other mail route is designated an authorized depository for mail within the meaning of 18 U. S. C. [§] 1725." DMM 151.1. A letterbox provided by a postal customer which meets the Postal Service's specifications not only becomes part of the Postal Service's nationwide system for the receipt and delivery of mail, but is also afforded the protection of the federal statutes prohibiting the damaging or destruction of mail deposited therein. See 18 U. S. C. §§ 1702, 1705, and 1708.
It is not without irony that this elaborate system of regulation, coupled with the historic dependence of the Nation on the Postal Service, has been the causal factor which led to this litigation. For it is because of the very fact that virtually every householder wishes to have a mailing address and a receptacle in which mail sent to that address will be deposited by the Postal Service that the letterbox or other mail receptacle is attractive to those who wish to convey messages within a locality but do not wish to purchase the stamp or pay such other fee as would permit them to be transmitted 124*124 by the Postal Service. To the extent that the "alternative means" eschewed by the appellees and found to be inadequate alternatives by the District Court are in fact so, it is in no small part attributable to the fact that the typical mail patron first looks for written communications from the "outside world" not under his doormat, or inside the screen of his front door, but in his letterbox. Notwithstanding the increasing frequency of complaints about the rising cost of using the Postal Service, and the uncertainty of the time which passes between mailing and delivery, written communication making use of the Postal Service is so much a fact of our daily lives that the mail patron watching for the mail-truck, or the jobholder returning from work looking in his letterbox before he enters his house, are commonplaces of our society. Indeed, according to the appellees the receptacles for mailable matter are so superior to alternative efforts to communicate printed matter that all other alternatives for deposit of such matter are inadequate substitutes for postal letterboxes.
Postal Service regulations, however, provide that letterboxes and other receptacles designated for the delivery of mail "shall be used exclusively for matter which bears postage." DMM 151.2.[3] Section 1725 merely reinforces this 125*125 regulation by prohibiting, under pain of criminal sanctions, the deposit into a letterbox of any mailable matter on which postage has not been paid. The specific prohibition contained in § 1725 is also repeated in the Postal Service regulations at DMM 146.21.
Section 1725 was enacted in 1934 "to curb the practice of depositing statements of account, circulars, sale bills, etc., in letter boxes established and approved by the Postmaster General for the receipt or delivery of mail matter without payment of postage thereon by making this a criminal offense." H. R. Rep. No. 709, 73d Cong., 2d Sess., 1 (1934). Both the Senate and House Committees on Post Offices and Post Roads explained the principal motivation for § 1725 as follows:
"Business concerns, particularly utility companies, have within the last few years adopted the practice of having their circulars, statements of account, etc., delivered by private messenger, and have used as receptacles the letter boxes erected for the purpose of holding mail matter and approved by the Post Office Department for such purpose. This practice is depriving the Post Office Department of considerable revenue on matter which would otherwise go through the mails, and at the same time is resulting in the stuffing of letter boxes with extraneous matter." Ibid.; S. Rep. No. 742, 73d Cong., 2d Sess., 1 (1934).
Nothing in any of the legislation or regulations recited above requires any person to become a postal customer. Anyone is free to live in any part of the country without having letters or packages delivered or received by the Postal Service by simply failing to provide the receptacle for those letters and packages which the statutes and regulations require. Indeed, the provision for "General Delivery" in most post offices enables a person to take advantage of the facilities 126*126 of the Postal Service without ever having provided a receptacle at or near his premises conforming to the regulations of the Postal Service. What the legislation and regulations do require is that those persons who do wish to receive and deposit their mail at their home or business do so under the direction and control of the Postal Service.
As early as the last century, this Court recognized the broad power of Congress to act in matters concerning the posts:
"The power vested in Congress `to establish postoffices and post-roads' has been practically construed, since the foundation of the government, to authorize not merely the designation of the routes over which the mail shall be carried, and the offices where letters and other documents shall be received to be distributed or forwarded, but the carriage of the mail, and all measures necessary to secure its safe and speedy transit, and the prompt delivery of its contents. The validity of legislation describing what should be carried, and its weight and form, and the charges to which it should be subjected, has never been questioned. . . . The power possessed by Congress embraces the regulation of the entire Postal System of the country. The right to designate what shall be carried necessarily involves the right to determine what shall be excluded." Ex parte Jackson, 96 U. S. 727, 732 (1878).
However broad the postal power conferred by Art. I may be, it may not of course be exercised by Congress in a manner that abridges the freedom of speech or of the press protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. In this case we are confronted with the appellees' assertion that the First Amendment guarantees them the right to deposit, without payment of postage, their notices, circulars, and flyers in 127*127 letterboxes which have been accepted as authorized depositories of mail by the Postal Service.[4]
In addressing appellees' claim, we note that we are not here confronted with a regulation which in any way prohibits individuals from going door-to-door to distribute their message or which vests unbridled discretion in a governmental official to decide whether or not to permit the distribution to occur. We are likewise not confronted with a regulation which in any way restricts the appellees' right to use the mails. The appellees may mail their civic notices in the ordinary fashion, and the Postal Service will treat such notices identically with all other mail without regard to content. There is no claim that the Postal Service treats civic notices, because of their content, any differently from the way it treats any of the other mail it processes. Admittedly, if appellees do choose to mail their notices, they will be required to pay postage in a manner identical to other Postal Service patrons, but appellees do not challenge the imposition of a fee for the services provided by the Postal Service.[5]
128*128 What is at issue in this case is solely the constitutionality of an Act of Congress which makes it unlawful for persons to use, without payment of a fee, a letterbox which has been designated an "authorized depository" of the mail by the Postal Service. As has been previously explained, when a letterbox is so designated, it becomes an essential part of the Postal Service's nationwide system for the delivery and receipt of mail. In effect, the postal customer, although he pays for the physical components of the "authorized depository," agrees to abide by the Postal Service's regulations in exchange for the Postal Service agreeing to deliver and pick up his mail.
Appellees' claim is undermined by the fact that a letterbox, once designated an "authorized depository," does not at the same time undergo a transformation into a "public forum" of some limited nature to which the First Amendment guarantees access to all comers. There is neither historical nor constitutional support for the characterization of a letterbox as a public forum. Letterboxes are an essential part of the nationwide system for the delivery and receipt of 129*129 mail, and since 1934 access to them has been unlawful except under the terms and conditions specified by Congress and the Postal Service. As such, it is difficult to accept appellees' assertion that because it may be somewhat more efficient to place their message in letterboxes there is a First Amendment right to do so. The underlying rationale of appellees' argument would seem to foreclose Congress or the Postal Service from requiring in the future that all letterboxes contain locks with keys being available only to the homeowner and the mail carrier. Such letterboxes are presently found in many apartment buildings, and we do not think their presence offends the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Letterboxes which lock, however, have the same effect on civic associations that wish access to them as does the enforcement of § 1725. Such letterboxes also accomplish the same purpose—that is, they protect mail revenues while at the same time facilitating the secure and efficient delivery of the mails. We do not think the First Amendment prohibits Congress from choosing to accomplish these purposes through legislation as opposed to lock and key.
Indeed, it is difficult to conceive of any reason why this Court should treat a letterbox differently for First Amendment access purposes than it has in the past treated the military base in Greer v. Spock, 424 U. S. 828 (1976), the jail or prison in Adderley v. Florida, 385 U. S. 39 (1966), and Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners' Union, 433 U. S. 119 (1977), or the advertising space made available in city rapid transit cars in Lehman v. City of Shaker Heights, 418 U. S. 298 (1974). In all these cases, this Court recognized that the First Amendment does not guarantee access to property simply because it is owned or controlled by the government. In Greer v. Spock, supra, the Court cited approvingly from its earlier opinion in Adderley v. Florida, supra, wherein it explained that "`[t]he State, no less than a private owner of 130*130 property, has power to preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is lawfully dedicated.'" 424 U. S., at 836.[6]
This Court has not hesitated in the past to hold invalid 131*131 laws which it concluded granted too much discretion to public officials as to who might and who might not solicit individual homeowners, or which too broadly inhibited the access of persons to traditional First Amendment forums such as the public streets and parks. See, e. g., Village of Schaumburg v. Citizens for a Better Environment, 444 U. S. 620 (1980); Hague v. CIO, 307 U. S. 496 (1939); Schneider v. State, 308 U. S. 147 (1939); Martin v. City of Struthers, 319 U. S. 141 (1943); Lovell v. City of Griffin, 303 U. S. 444 (1938); and Police Department of Chicago v. Mosley, 408 U. S. 92 (1972). But it is a giant leap from the traditional "soapbox" to the letterbox designated as an authorized depository of the United States mails, and we do not believe the First Amendment requires us to make that leap.[7]
132*132 It is thus unnecessary for us to examine § 1725 in the context of a "time, place, and manner" restriction on the use of the traditional "public forums" referred to above. This Court has long recognized the validity of reasonable time, place, and manner regulations on such a forum so long as the regulation is content-neutral, serves a significant governmental interest, and leaves open adequate alternative channels for communication. See, e. g., Consolidated Edison Co. v. Public Service Comm'n, 447 U. S. 530, 535-536 (1980); Linmark Associates, Inc. v. Willingboro, 431 U. S. 85, 93 (1977); Virginia Pharmacy Board v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc., 425 U. S. 748, 771 (1976); Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U. S. 104 (1972); Cox v. New Hampshire, 312 U. S. 569 (1941). But since a letterbox is not traditionally such a "public forum," the elaborate analysis engaged in by the District Court was, we think, unnecessary. To be sure, if a governmental regulation is based on the content of the speech or the message, that action must be scrutinized more carefully to ensure that communication has not been prohibited "`merely because public officials disapprove the speaker's view.'" Consolidated Edison Co. v. Public Service Comm'n, supra, at 536, quoting Niemotko v. Maryland, 340 U. S. 268, 282 (1951) (Frankfurter, J., concurring in result). But in this case there simply is no question that § 1725 does not regulate speech on the basis of content. While the analytical line between a regulation of the "time, place, and manner" in which First Amendment rights may be exercised in a traditional public forum, and the question of whether a particular piece of personal or real property owned or controlled by the government is in fact a "public forum" may blur at the edges, we think the line is nonetheless a workable one. We likewise think that Congress may, in exercising its authority to develop and operate a national postal system, properly legislate with the generality of cases in mind, and 133*133 should not be put to the test of defending in one township after another the constitutionality of a statute under the traditional "time, place, and manner" analysis. This Court has previously acknowledged that the "guarantees of the First Amendment have never meant `that people who want to propagandize protests or views have a constitutional right to do so whenever and however and wherever they please.'" Greer v. Spock, 424 U. S., at 836, quoting Adderley v. Florida, 385 U. S., at 48. If Congress and the Postal Service are to operate as efficiently as possible a system for the delivery of mail which serves a Nation extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, from the Canadian boundary on the north to the Mexican boundary on the south, it must obviously adopt regulations of general character having uniform applicability throughout the more than three million square miles which the United States embraces. In so doing, the Postal Service's authority to impose regulations cannot be made to depend on all of the variations of climate, population, density, and other factors that may vary significantly within a distance of less than 100 miles.
From the time of the issuance of the first postage stamp in this country at Brattleboro, Vt., in the fifth decade of the last century, through the days of the governmentally subsidized "Pony Express" immediately before the Civil War, and through the less admirable era of the Star Route Mail Frauds in the latter part of that century, Congress has actively exercised the authority conferred upon it by the Constitution "to establish Post Offices and Post Roads" and "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper" for executing this task. While Congress, no more than a suburban township, may not by its own ipse dixit destroy the "public forum" status of streets and parks which have historically been public forums, we think that for the reasons stated a letterbox may not properly be analogized to streets and parks. 134*134 It is enough for our purposes that neither the enactment nor the enforcement of § 1725 was geared in any way to the content of the message sought to be placed in the letterbox. The judgment of the District Court is accordingly.
JUSTICE BRENNAN, concurring in the judgment.
I concur in the judgment, but not in the Court's opinion. I believe the Court errs in not determining whether § 1725 is a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction on appellees' exercise of their First Amendment rights, as urged by the Government, and in resting its judgment instead on the conclusion that a letterbox is not a public forum. In my view, this conclusion rests on an improper application of the Court's precedents and ignores the historic role of the mails as a national medium of communication.
Section 1725 provides:
"Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined not more than $300." 18 U. S. C. § 1725.
Unquestionably, § 1725 burdens in some measure the First Amendment rights of appellees who seek to "communicate ideas, positions on local issues, and civic information to their constituents," through delivery of circulars door-to-door. 490 F. Supp. 157, 162 (1980). See Martin v. City of Struthers, 319 U. S. 141, 146-147 (1943). The statute requires appellees either to pay postage to obtain access to the postal system, which they assert they are unable to do, or to deposit 135*135 their materials in places other than the letterbox, which they contend is less effective than deposit in the letterbox.
Despite the burden on appellees' rights, I conclude that the statute is constitutional because it is a reasonable time, place, and manner regulation. See Schad v. Mount Ephraim, 452 U. S. 61, 74-77 (1981); Consolidated Edison Co. v. Public Service Comm'n, 447 U. S. 530, 535-536 (1980); Linmark Associates, Inc. v. Willingboro, 431 U. S. 85, 93 (1977); Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U. S. 104, 115-116 (1972). First, § 1725 is content-neutral because it is not directed at the content of the message appellees seek to convey, but applies equally to all mailable matter. See Consolidated Edison Co. v. Public Service Comm'n, supra, at 536; Erznoznik v. City of Jacksonville, 422 U. S. 205, 209-211 (1975); Police Department of Chicago v. Mosley, 408 U. S. 92, 95 (1972).
Second, the burden on expression advances a significant governmental interest—preventing loss of mail revenues. The District Court's finding that the "failure to enforce the statute as to [appellees] would [not] result in a substantial loss of revenue" may be true, 490 F. Supp. 157, 163 (emphasis added), but that conclusion overlooks the obvious cumulative effect that the District Court's ruling would have if applied across the country. Surely, the Government is correct when it argues that the Postal Service "is not required to make a case-by-case showing of a compelling need for the incremental revenue to be realized from charging postage to each organization or individual who desires to use the postal system to engage in expression protected by the First Amendment." Reply Brief for Appellant 8.
Third, there are "ample alternative channels for communication." Consolidated Edison Co. v. Public Service Comm'n, 447 U. S. at 535. Appellees may, for example, place their circulars under doors or attach them to doorknobs. Simply because recipients may find 82% of materials left in the letterbox, but only 70-75% of materials otherwise left at the residence, is not a sufficient reason to conclude that alternative 136*136 means of delivery are not "ample." Ibid.; see ante, at 120, and n. 2.
The Court declines to analyze § 1725 as a time, place, and manner restriction. Instead, it concludes that a letterbox is not a public forum. Ante, at 128. Thus the Court states that
"it is difficult to conceive of any reason why this Court should treat a letterbox differently for First Amendment access purposes than it has in the past treated the military base in Greer v. Spock, 424 U. S. 828 (1976), the jail or prison in Adderley v. Florida, 385 U. S. 39 (1966), and Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners' Union, 433 U. S. 119 (1977), or the advertising space made available in city rapid transit cars in Lehman v. City of Shaker Heights, 418 U. S. 298 (1974)." Ante, at 129.
I believe that the Court's conclusion ignores the proper method of analysis in determining whether property owned or directly controlled by the Government is a public forum. Moreover, even if the Court were correct that a letterbox is not a public forum, the First Amendment would still require the Court to determine whether the burden on appellees' exercise of their First Amendment rights is supportable as a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction.
For public forum analysis, "[t]he crucial question is whether the manner of expression is basically incompatible with the normal activity of a particular place at a particular time." Grayned v. City of Rockford, supra, at 116. We have often quoted Justice Holmes' observation that the "'United States may give up the Post Office when it sees fit, but while it carries it on the use of the mails is almost as much a part of free speech as the right to use our tongues . . . .'" Blount v. Rizzi, 400 U. S. 410, 416 (1971), and Lamont v. Postmaster General, 381 U. S. 301, 305 (1965), quoting United States exrel. 137*137 Milwaukee Social Democratic Pub. Co. v. Burleson, 255 U. S. 407, 437 (1921) (Holmes, J., dissenting).[1] Our cases have recognized generally that public properties are appropriate fora for exercise of First Amendment rights. See, e. g., Tinker v. Des Moines School District, 393 U. S. 503, 512 (1969); Brown v. Louisiana, 383 U. S. 131, 139-140, 142 (1966) (plurality opinion); Cox v. Louisiana, 379 U. S. 536, 543 (1965); Edwards v. South Carolina, 372 U. S. 229 (1963).[2] While First Amendment rights exercised on public property may be subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions, that is very different from saying that government-controlled property, such as a letterbox, does not constitute a public forum. Only where the exercise of First Amendment rights is incompatible with the normal activity occurring on public property have we held that the property is not a public forum. See Greer v. Spock, 424 U. S. 828 (1976); Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners' Union, 433 U. S. 119 (1977); Adderley v. Florida, 385 U. S. 39 (1966). Thus, in answering "[t]he crucial question . . . whether the manner of expression is basically incompatible with the normal activity of a particular place at a particular time," Grayned v. City of Rockford, supra, at 116, I believe that the mere deposit of mailable matter without postage is not "basically incompatible" with the "normal activity" for which a letterbox is used, i. e., deposit of mailable matter with proper postage or mail delivery by the Postal Service. On the contrary, the mails and the letterbox are specifically used for the communication of information and ideas, and thus surely constitute a public 138*138 forum appropriate for the exercise of First Amendment rights subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions such as those embodied in § 1725 or in the requirement that postage be affixed to mailable matter to obtain access to the postal system.
The history of the mails as a vital national medium of expression confirms this conclusion. Just as "streets and parks . . . have immemorially been held in trust for the use of the public and, time out of mind, have been used for purposes of assembly, communicating thoughts between citizens, and discussing public questions," Hague v. CIO, 307 U. S. 496, 515 (1939),[3] so too the mails from the early days of the Republic have played a crucial role in communication. The Court itself acknowledges the importance of the mails as a forum for communication:
"Government without communication is impossible, and until the invention of the telephone and telegraph, the mails were the principal means of communication. . . . In 1775, Franklin was named the first Postmaster General by the Continental Congress, and, because of the trend toward war, the Continental Congress undertook its first serious effort to establish a secure mail delivery organization in order to maintain communication between the States and to supply revenue for the Army." Ante, at 121 (emphasis added).
The Court further points out that "[t]he Post Office played a vital . . . role in the development of our new Nation," ibid. (emphasis added), and currently processes "106.3 billion pieces of mail each year," ante, at 122. The variety of communication transported by the Postal Service ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, and includes newspapers, magazines, books, films, and almost any type and form of expression imaginable. See Kappel Commission. Toward Postal Excellence, 139*139 Report of the President's Commission on Postal Organization 47-48 (Comm. Print 1968). Given "the historic dependence of the Nation on the Postal Service." ante, at 123, it is extraordinary that the Court reaches the conclusion that the letterbox, a critical link in the mail system, is not a public forum.
Not only does the Court misapprehend the historic role that the mails have played in national communication, but it relies on inapposite cases to reach its result. Greer v. Spock,[4] Adderley v. Florida,[5] and Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners' Union,[6] all rested on the inherent incompatibility between the 140*140 rights sought to be exercised and the physical location in which the exercise was to occur. Lehman v. City of Shaker Heights[7] rested in large measure on the captive audience doctrine, 418 U. S., at 304, and in part on the transportation purpose of the city bus system, id., at 303. These cases, therefore, provide no support for the Court's conclusion that a letterbox is not a public forum.
Having determined that a letterbox is not a public forum, the Court inexplicably terminates its analysis. Surely, however, the mere fact that property is not a public forum does not free government to impose unwarranted restrictions on First Amendment rights. The Court itself acknowledges that the postal power "may not . . . be exercised by Congress in a manner that abridges the freedom of speech or of the press protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution." Ante, at 126. Even where property does not constitute a public forum, government regulation that is content-neutral must still be reasonable as to time, place, and manner. See, e. g., Young v. American Mini Theatres, Inc., 427 U. S. 50, 63, n. 18 (1976). Cf. Linmark Associates, Inc. v. Willingboro, 431 U. S., at 92-93; Virginia Pharmacy Board v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc., 425 U. S. 748, 771 (1976). The 141*141 restriction in § 1725 could have such an effect on First Amendment rights—and does for JUSTICE MARSHALL—that it should be struck down. The Court, therefore, cannot avoid analyzing § 1725 as a time, place, and manner restriction.[8]
I would conclude, contrary to the Court, that a letterbox is a public forum, but, nevertheless, concur in the judgment because I conclude that 18 U. S. C. §

text: The newest version promises to save you time. WorldShip® 2015 is available for download. Here's what the upgraded version offers, along with powerful time-savers you want to be sure to use.Download WorldShip 2015 today.Compass: What's the most important reason to upgrade to the 2015 version of WorldShip?Joe Monteleone, UPS senior manager, customer technology marketing: Many of the improvements in this version take place "under the hood" so to speak. The most visible enhancement is support for the UPS Access Point™ network. In select locations, a UPS driver will attempt delivery, but if your customer isn't home, the driver will leave a notice and take the package to the nearest UPS Access Point location – neighborhood businesses with evening and weekend hours, such as The UPS Store® locations, grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, even dry-cleaners. Compass: Are there WorldShip features where shipping managers could save time?JM: Yes, profiles are a popular WorldShip feature. These save data entry time by filling in default values for fields for each profile you create. For example, every time you ship to John Jones, you can default to overnight shipping, include a purchase order number, etc.Profiles can be general or assigned to a specific person in your address book. Let's say you are shipping chocolates and want to use UPS 2nd Day Air® shipping during the hot summer months, or you are shipping internationally and want to default to certain commodity information. You get a lot of flexibility, and it keeps you from rekeying all that data – and possibly making costly errors.Compass: What about integration with order entry or accounting systems?JM: Integration is another way companies can improve efficiency, and it doesn't get used as much as it could. Customers selling online, for example, have a dynamic customer base that changes all the time, so it is a huge time-saver to automatically have WorldShip technology pull the ship-to information from your order-entry database.Compass: That sounds complicated. Is it difficult to do?JM: WorldShip has an Import/Export Wizard that will walk you through the process. To start the Import/Export Wizard, open WorldShip 2015 and select Tools on the Import-Export tab and then Import/Export Wizard. Once set up, WorldShip automatically stores the routinely used ship-to information you need and prints labels at designated times.On the flip side you may need to share tracking numbers with customer service, or shipping charges to accounting, so you can export that information to a file that customer service or accounting can use to update their information and invoice the customer.For more on integrating WorldShip technology, visit the tech support center. Compass: Can WorldShip stretch the company's marketing budget?JM: One of the newest WorldShip features is Custom Labels. Printing your logo on the label is particularly good for brand awareness, or can allow you to extend special offers to your customers. For example, you could print "Use this promo code to get 10% off your next order!" as a way to generate repeat orders without having to stuff a costly flier or catalog into the box.These are just a few of the features you'll want to put to work for you, so don't delay your WorldShip upgrade.

Centennial Break
When I first heard about the vacation, I felt happy but quite sad. Happy because I have time to adjust myself to my new world and also to prepare myself well. While sad because I have found my new friends and I will surely miss them. And also I thought that it's been weeks when I start in college then vacation again so, I felt sad.
Before the Centennial Break came, our professors had given us some tasks to do so that we can still study our lessons even we're on a vacation. And so that our mind will still on studying and get prepared or our upcoming Midterm exam.
When the Centennial Break came, at first I felt lazy on starting doing my assignments, I told to myself that our vacation is three weeks so I have so much time to do it. But I realize that the early I did my assignments is more better because I can have time to read my notes an review them and also to arrange some of my stuffs.

He was of middle class origin and probably had no contact with Africans except for an occasional visitor in the hotel and his fears were in the circumstances not unreasonable. The problem of national minorities has faced many countries and has been approached in various ways, all depending on the actual conditions. In our case the Freedom Charter expressly guarantees the rights of all national groups and races, and makes the preaching and practice of national, race or colour discrimination a punishable crime.
A novel feature that was hotly debated at the Durban meeting of the ANC National Executive and on the following day by the Joint Executives of the Congress movement as a whole was whether the planned strike should take the form of a non violent or peaceful stay at home as on previous occasions of of the normal strike where people not only downed tools but organised pickets outside railway and bus stations, factories and other work places, holding meetings and processions.
There was a substantial group that felt that the normal stay at home we had used since 1950, good as it was in the sense of the impact it had made on the people themselves, industry and the enemy, was dominated by the self defeating element of non violence and peaceful struggle at a time when more militant forms were urgently required to check the wanton brutalities of the enemy. They felt that the stay at home tended to give the wrong impression that we were essentially reformist in our

Are you pregnant and has the doctor told you about the various vaccinations you need to take during these months? Do you want to be sure about the vaccinations you will need and how they will affect you and your unborn baby? Has your doctor recommended the MMR vaccine to you too?
If you want to know more about the MMR vaccine during pregnancy and how it helps, do read our post and learn all about it.
What Is The MMR Vaccine?
The MMR vaccination is a combination of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. There is always a three to five percent chance in every pregnancy that that the baby may be born with some birth defects. The MMR vaccination is another way of ensuring both you and your baby are safe from the mentioned diseases it targets.
- Measles, also known as rubella, is a kind of virus that causes rashes on your body. If you have measles, you will also come down with fever and other symptoms of cold, such as cough and runny nose, as well as watery and red eyes.
- Mumps is a type of virus that affects your lymph nodes that are located close to your jaw. If you have mumps, you will come down with a fever and also experience body ache and headache.
- Rubella is also known as German measles. It is also a type of virus that causes fever and mild rashes on the body. If you have rubella, in addition to the above symptoms you will also have body pain, joint ache, headache, watery and red eyes as well as a runny nose.
The MMR vaccine is a mix that includes the live and weakened virus from all the three disease mentioned above. It helps your body to develop antibodies to the said viruses and can help you be immune to future attacks from the same.
[ Read: Ways to Tackle Fever during Pregnancy ]
Is It Safe To Take The MMR Vaccine While Pregnant?
In theory, if you are pregnant, taking the MMR vaccine could actually increase the risk of catching rubella (German measles). However, there are no studies that show that this is the case, and the analysis remains a theoretical one.
Getting affected by the rubella while you are pregnant could cause some serious health issues in the unborn baby. It could lead to various birth defects in the baby, such as heart defects, mental retardation, inability to hear, problems with vision and more. However, there are various cases where pregnant women, who do contract rubella during their pregnancy, gave birth to healthy babies after being treated with the MMR vaccine.
Some theories abound say that getting a MMR vaccine during pregnancy can also increase the risk of measles and mumps, but there is no research to back the claim yet.
[ Read: Tetanus Vaccination During Pregnancy ]
Can You Use The MMR Vaccine As Three Different Vaccinations?
The MMR vaccination is a combination vaccination of all the three diseases and cannot be given as three separate shots. The single shot of MMR consists of all the three individual vaccines that help to keep you protected against measles, mumps and rubella.
While you may find the MMR vaccine as a separate shot option, it is best to go for the single shot that takes care of all three diseases, to increase your chances of staying protected.
[ Read: Common Viral Infections During Pregnancy ]
Does The MMR Vaccination Contain Any Traces Of Mercury?
Some people are worried that the MMR vaccination may contain traces of mercury; however, there is no scientific data to back the same. The MMR vaccine, in fact, does not contain any thiomersal, which is a preservative that contains mercury and is used in some vaccinations.
All About The Measles Vaccine During Pregnancy:
The measles vaccine helps eliminate the risk of contracting measles. Usually, those who take a measles vaccine in pregnancy may require a second shot to eradicate the risk of getting affected with measles. These days, the measles vaccination is only available in a combination with the MMR vaccine.
The vaccination is considered safe and there are no known side effects. However, you should consult your doctor first to know of any possible side effects, especially if you suffer from any health issues. Some side effects that you may experience include:
- Pain or numbness at the site of the vaccination.
- A mild fever that will normally go away, but speak to your doctor if fever persists even after two days.
- A slight discoloration on the skin where the vaccine was injected, with skin turning red or sometimes even purple.
- In case of serious side effects, you may also experience seizures, along with fever. However, serious side effects are rare, but in case you experience anything like them, make sure to get immediate medical attention.
[ Read: Tdap Vaccine During Pregnancy ]
All About The Mumps Vaccine:
The mumps vaccine helps contain the spread of mumps, which is a contagious disease. The condition often leads to swelling in the salivary glands, which can make the cheeks look puffy and also cause swelling and tenderness in the jaw. The mumps vaccine is available as a combination vaccination with MMR and MMRV. Some side effects that you may experience after the vaccination are:
- Purple discoloration on the area of the vaccination
- Fever that is generally over 103 degree F
- Irritability
- Headache
[ Read: Is Flu Vaccine Safe In Pregnancy ]
All About The Rubella Vaccine:
The rubella vaccine is a preventive shot to ward off rubella or German measles. It is available as a combination MMR vaccine and also the MMRV vaccine. While it does not cause any serious issues otherwise, it is highly dangerous during pregnancy. It may even lead to birth defects in the baby. Some side effects that you may experience are:
- Headache
- Numbness or tingling sensation
- Swelling, redness or numbness at the spot of the vaccination
- Pain in the muscles or joints
- Nausea or diarrhea
As with anything you do while you are pregnant, it is important to first speak to your doctor about all your concerns. Check when you have to take the vaccination, whether there are any side effects and how safe it is for you and your unborn.
Did you have the MMR vaccine when pregnant? If yes, when did you get it? tell us below.

This is killing me. So we are testing deployment of vmware view 5 with floating pools and view persona management. For the most part persona management works great. The problem I'm running into is with Thunderbird. For some reason every time a user gets a new machine t-bird wants to start over and make them setup their account again. We followed the view persona management deployment guide in setting up the folder redirections. Just about every other application we use is fine. We are using We're using the vmware group policy and we've tried pre-loading Local Settings, Application Data, etc but it doesn't seem to matter. I can login, navigate to c:\docs and settings\user\local settings\application data\thunderbird\profiles and see the users default profile sitting there then launch t-bird and poof! A new directory is created and t-bird is sitting there asking me to setup an account.

Is thinapp the solution you eneded up going with? I am having this same issue but cannot find a good resolution.
View 5, persona data, Thunderbird. Daily it wants to create a new profile even though I can browse to the existing profile.
Apr 26, 2013 at 2:39 UTC
Yes. I highly recommend it. With personas enabled, your best bet with programs that have picky profile issues is to Thinapp them. It's exactly what I did and never looked back. All the strange profile issues were resolved and it's continued to be a reliable solution. Good luck.

Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style.

Cocoon interacts with most data sources (from filesystems to RDBMS, from LDAP to native XML databases) and adapts content delivery to the capabilities of different devices (HTML, WML, PDF, SVG, RTF just to name a few). Cocoon can be used both as a Servlet or using its powerful commandline interface. For interactive webapps, Cocoon offers Actions and support for XSP, JSP and Velocity." ________ (1) sorry ;-) - perhaps we should change this to Java web applications?

one of the local theaters got their liquor license, would you order a beer or martini while watching a movie?
not to mention the overpriced products as is, I bet a beer would be like $6.
Most Helpful Guy
some theaters do that but they're expensive. like Cinepolis serves food and alcohol during movies, its a weird vibe lol. expensive too, since when did burgers cost $1833|00|0

No I don't think so cause then the teenagers will not be able to go to the movies anymore. For me, the prospect of eating flavoured pop corn is enough excitement in one day. I do not need to drink alcohol to feel happy at a movie theatre.11|00|0

"Head Trauma"
About: Airedale General Hospital Airedale General Hospital Keighley BD20 6TD
Posted by Steve
I had a fall and gashed my head
The ambulance was at my house within 5 mins the two ambulance staff could not have been better they were great
This is the only negative I have - we got to A&E but the ambulance staff had to wait nearly an hour to hand me over to a nurse what a waste of skilled manpower obvious staff shortage
When i was assessed it took almost 4 hours to see someone to get stitched up.
Again I am not complaining It is just a fact
The nurse was so good both my wife and myself were completely at ease they were really good at their job
Response from Airedale General Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you very much Steve for your wonderful feedback regarding the care you received by all staff in the Emergency Department at Airedale General Hospital.
It is always nice to receive comments of appreciation which, amidst the constant pressures in the NHS, are a real boost to staff morale and I shall copy your comments to those who were involved in your care.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by HoustonFrog, Apr 9, 2014.
When Will McClay speaks people listen.
Sure it may be a legit question, but you have to know when you post a question about Jerry and if he is truly dedicated to winning on this site you have just opened the flood gates and yelled from the mountain tops that we have "Another Thread About Jerry - So Bash Away Boys!"
You've got enough posts here to know what will happen. You know the pack of Jerry Sux Jackals will be all over this thread like it s a freshly killed unguarded carcass no matter how many "Negativity Warnings" are given. The Jackal Choir will come together and sing praises to Jimmy while denouncing the sins of Jerry.
It'll be the normal narrative of how Jimmy was born in Bethlehem and when he got to Dallas he made the blind to see and the lame to walk. The football miracles of Jimmy the GM, HC and talent guru ended suddenly and solely because Pontius Pilate Jones came along when he realized that while he was getting Cowboys bumper stickers and t shirts made and doing the team laundry Jimmy was getting all the credit. Poor Jerry didnt even know how many practice fields the team had or who was on the roster. Jerry didnt even know the difference between a football and a basketball other than that the one is orange instead of brown.
C'mon bro, you knew this would happen. You knew it would be another "Jerry Sux" opportunity for the jackals.
The Cowboys are must see tv, highest rated games, most mechandise sales, most talked about team in all of sports. Heres the problem, it's been that way since the '70s, Jerry didn't make the Cowboys popular the Cowboys made Jerry popular. Everything I said in the 1st sentence the Cowboys were before Jerry, it's not like he bought the Jaguars and made them the most popular team he bought the most popular team and kept them in the same position.
The previous owner didn't have the mind to capitalize off of the brand the way the Jones clan has and for him personally he gets credit for that. Again, I say personally because Jones profitting off of the teams popularity has nothing to do with what we want as fans or I should say shouldn't have any thing to do with what we want. As a fan I couldn't care less about the teams popularity, i want a successful team that's a threat to go deep in the playoffs each year and I want management to want the same thing.
Jerry bought the most popular team in sports and as the NFL has grown so has the opportunity to capitalize off of the teams brand. If someone bought the Yankees or Lakers and soon after they were number 1 in tv rating and mechandising would you give the credit to the new owner? That's no different than what JJ did.
You're not really mad at the messenger you're mad about the message. This is misdirected anger, the op didn't make the quote that basically said that JJ cares more about branding and popularity than winning playoff games the GM did.
Who's mad?
What in the world gives you any idea that there is any anger?
I was watching some program on nfl network and a reporter said that both the eagles and steelers sell more jerseys than the cowboys. Is this true?
Here is PA I couldn't get half of those games that year. Nowadays I only miss about 2 or 3 games a year.
Looks like you forgot your meds.
True. He treats the team as if it was his personal toy. He gets to play fantasy football on a larger scale than everybody else.
i have to believe that some posters on here are either the jones family or part of the cowboys PR department
no one, rational is that blind or dumb
Nope. Unless he says something like he wants to play 4 home games a year in London, his words are wholly inconsequential to people that are actually paying attention.
if youre wondering you arent paying attention
Come on, man. You posted this thread thinking it would stimulate an actual intelligent discussion from the usual suspects?
Thank you for verbalizing what a number of us suspect.
i am not sure how you can say that and mean it about the main decision-maker for the franchise
you can ignore them if you wish but his words are a reflection of his thought process and he has made similar statements several times
it seems he has realized that he is not good enough as a GM to get this team to win anything and is unwilling to hire someone competent so is just falling back on what he knows: making it a show and making money from it
it is a defense mechanism
about as bad as it gets for the fans of a team
Great post.
I think your answer has become quite evident.
Maybe I wasn't paying attention before, but it seems like Jerry has been talking more and more about the Cowboys entertainment value. If you could trade shares of a football team publically on the stock market, I have no doubt Jerry would have done so by now. It's an entertainment business before anything else.
