Papa Doug's big wait
New convention hotel in Texas continues to face delay
Matt Potter 6:30 a.m., Nov. 22
As we approach the Fourth of July weekend, thinking about America today reminds me of that infamous warning in Jaws: "You're going to need a bigger boat."
This past decade has had a lot of surprises for us as a nation, and we are different than we were at the end of the last millennium. The challenges of dealing with anti-Americanism in the world has led us to creating a Department of Homeland Security. I am not saying that this is a bad thing, just not what we were expecting or hoping for as our peace dividend when the Berlin Wall came down. These same challenges have us currently involved in two wars overseas, where we have yet to properly verbalize an exit strategy that won't have us involved in regional wars in the same places a decade or two from now.
I see it as refreshing that a number of us have brought about the Tea Party movement, not necessarily because I agree with everything it does or everyone it embraces or even pays attention to, but because the Tea Party movement represents a popular need to re-think the idea of America.
It points to our dire need for bigger ideas.
For the last few days, I have been trying to digest A. Garrett Lisi's 2007 paper entitled "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" which is just that if you happen to be familiar with the concept of unifying the standard model of particle physics together with gravity into a grand unified theory based on E8 Lie algebra with appropriate sub-algebras. The reason I am attempting to understand this paper is because Lisi just came out with his "Explicit Embedding of Gravity and the Standard Model in E8" which pretty much requires one to have a passable understanding of the Theory of Everything. The main idea is not that there is heavy math-major thinking involved in both papers, but that Lisi does appear to provide theoretical physicists with a mathematical tool kit big enough to explain just about everything in the realm of particle physics.
Lisi happens to be a graduate of the University of California at San Diego.
Officially, I am not nearly so educated as he, as all I have going for me is a couple of associate degrees with honors, one of which happens to be in mathematics. I am much more confident in my other degree in data processing, where I was introduced to systems analysis and design. On looking at a system of fifty states and territories containing well over 300 million people, I can tell you that America needs some better processes for maintaining its place in the world, and that is going to require us to get a bigger boat.
All of my life, I have been involved in education as a tutor. I first started teaching beginning piano lessons here in Encanto at the now-closed Payne School of Music on Imperial Avenue, back when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I picked up my instructor's badge as a cadet officer in my junior year of JROTC, then later made it through the NCO Academy and Drill Sergeant School at Fort Knox while assigned to the Old Guard, the President's escort battalion. While getting the data processing and math degrees, I was tutoring the maximum of thirty hours a week as a San Diego Community College District part-timer in just about any subject I had passed. I was also earning extra pocket money tutoring privately in courses that I'd never taken, mostly on the strength of my eighth grade class in speed reading. As far as I am concerned, there is never getting enough education, and there can never be enough intelligent discussion of issues about getting a bigger boat to float some bigger ideas.
In my future blogs, I want to share some bigger ideas with you. I want us to have a discussion about the way things are, and about how we can make them better in the not-so-distant future. We may have our differences of opinion, but as long as we attack each others' arguments and not each other personally, what we write here at the Reader may be helpful for the rest of us to see over the sides of a bigger boat than the one we have now, where most of us are stuck riding things out down in the hold.

ADM Outlines Strategy for BioEnergy Growth; CARD Report Projects 31.5B Gallons of Corn Ethanol Possible by 2015
8 November 2006
|ADM sees the potential demand for ethanol (E10 nationwide) outstripping current and announced production capacity. Click to enlarge.
Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) outlined its strategy to be the global leader in bioenergy while expanding its premier position in the agricultural processing value chain during its Analyst Day Meeting today in Chicago.
According to ADM CEO Patricia Woertz, the company has identified three strategic areas offering the highest potential for significant financial growth: expansion of its geographic scope, diversification of its feedstocks and growth of the bioenergy business.
Woertz announced that ADM is considering expanding its origination presence in palm in Indonesia, sugar in Brazil and other carbohydrates around the world for the production of biofuels.
ADM reaffirmed its commitment to the future of ethanol and to investment in research and development surrounding feedstocks like biomass crops. The company projects that one out of every 12 pounds of vegetable oil production will go to biodiesel production by 2015 and that world oilseed crush will have to grow 50% by 2015 to meet demand for food and fuel.
Already announced plans include expansion of biodiesel production capacity in the United States, Brazil and Germany, as well as a 50% increase in US ethanol production capacity. ADM also previously announced plans to open a PHA natural plastics plant and a polyols facility.
Separately, a report by the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University projects that US corn-based ethanol production could potentially reach 31.5 billion gallons annually—about 20% of projected US fuel consumption—by 2015, given the current incentives to invest in corn-based ethanol plants. Ethanol production in 2006 is tracking to 4.7 billion gallons. (Earlier post.)
To reach 31.5 billion gallons of corn ethanol, 95.6 million acres of corn would need to be planted. Total corn production would be approximately 15.6 billion bushels, compared to 11.0 billion bushels today. Most of the additional corn acres would come, in the CARD scenario, from reduced soybean acreage.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference ADM Outlines Strategy for BioEnergy Growth; CARD Report Projects 31.5B Gallons of Corn Ethanol Possible by 2015:
How can this be? I thought all the geniuses on this site said that even if you planted every acre of farmland with corn, you would only be able to supplant maybe 10% of our gas consumption.
Well in 8 short years, the projections are 20% of total gas consumption, and not with all of our farmland, but only with about a 40% increase in corn acreage.
Can it be that technology will continue to improve? NOT POSSIBLE!!!! ;-)

Blue Devils are only No. 1 seed left standing
Sure, he hadn�t been to a Final Four since 2004. But there was no need to put extra pressure on this Duke team just because the last five fell short.
Hey, Coach K, look who�s chasing another national championship.
Duke restored some order to a topsy-turvy NCAA tournament on Sunday, getting a career-high 29 points from Nolan Smith in a 78-71 victory over Baylor that put Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils back in college basketball�s biggest event.
�It�s not about the moments that I�ve been in, it�s the moments that your players put you in right now,� Krzyzewski said. �I�m really happy for this group. ... It�s as close a team as I�ve had. You want great things to happen for people who are great with us.�
Jon Scheyer added five three-pointers and scored 20 for Duke, ending Baylor�s run to redemption in the South Regional final. The Blue Devils became the only No. 1 seed to advance to Indianapolis and earned their 11th Final Four berth under Krzyzewski.
�I don�t know if it�s a relief, but it�s nice that no one can say anymore that we haven�t been to a Final Four in so many years,� Kyle Singler said.
Now, Singler and his teammates get the chance at a championship that every player who goes through the program expects to have.
�I don�t know that it�s fully hit me,� said Scheyer, one of the three Duke seniors. �I�m sure after the year I�ll have a better appreciation. But right now, I�m just ecstatic.�
Smith hit the tiebreaking three with 3:33 remaining immediately after missing a free throw. Senior forward Lance Thomas grabbed the rebound�one of Duke�s 17 offensive boards after halftime.
�I can�t put it into words,� Thomas said. �It took us four years to get here and we�re not done yet.�
The Blue Devils will play East Regional champion West Virginia in the national semifinals Saturday night. They have won 11 of their last 12 regional finals under Krzyzewski, but haven�t won a national title since 2001.
Coach K made his first Final Four with Duke in 1986 and hadn�t had a gap this long between trips.
To end the drought, Duke had to win at Reliant Stadium�only 3 1/2 hours from Baylor�s campus. Most of the crowd of 47,492 was dressed in the green and gold of the Bears.
�We played against a great team,� Krzyzewski said. �It was such a well-played game, and we were fortunate to win.�
Smith and Scheyer helped the Blue Devils (33-5) offset a poor game from Singler, who was 0 for 10 from the field and made only five free throws. It was the first time in his college career the junior forward failed to hit a field goal.
LaceDarius Dunn had 22 points and Ekpe Udoh scored 18 for the third-seeded Bears (28-8), whose program was in shambles when coach Scott Drew took over in the wake of murder and scandal less than seven years ago.
Drew took the Bears from tatters to the cusp of their first Final Four appearance in 60 years. After three consecutive 20-win seasons and an inspiring postseason run, maybe Baylor can be recognized more for its success now than the tragic summer of 2003 that is finally starting to feel like a long time ago.
�I really hope so and I really feel it has,� Drew said, his voice quivering. �I do really want to thank all the fans in the state of Texas.�
The Blue Devils made 11 of 23 three-pointers (48 percent), and shot only 11 of 38 from inside the arc.
With Baylor desperately trying to get the ball back after a turnover by Tweety Carter, there was a scuffle by the sideline following a whistle and Quincy Acy was called for a technical foul. Scheyer hit both free throws, pushing the lead to 10 with 1:19 left.
Baylor (71)�Udoh 6-14 6-9 18, Jones 1-3 0-2 3, Lomers 2-2 0-0 4, Dunn 8-18 4-5 22, Carter 5-12 0-0 12, Ellis 0-0 0-0 0, Acy 5-7 2-3 12, Walton 0-3 0-0 0. Totals 27-59 12-19 71.
Duke (78)�Singler 0-10 5-6 5, Thomas 2-9 3-4 7, Zoubek 2-5 1-2 5, Smith 9-17 7-8 29, Scheyer 5-12 5-5 20, Ma.Plumlee 1-2 0-0 2, Dawkins 2-2 0-2 6, Mi.Plumlee 1-4 2-2 4. Totals 22-61 23-29 78.
Baylor 35 36�71
Duke 32 46�78
Three-point goals�Baylor 5-18 (Carter 2-7, Dunn 2-8, Jones 1-2, Walton 0-1), Duke 11-23 (Scheyer 5-10, Smith 4-6, Dawkins 2-2, Singler 0-5). Fouled Out�Lomers, Zoubek. Rebounds�Baylor 37 (Udoh 10), Duke 43 (Thomas, Zoubek 9). Assists�Baylor 14 (Udoh 6), Duke 15 (Scheyer, Singler 4). Total Fouls�Baylor 21, Duke 15. Technical�Acy.

It's only fitting that we would get the latest trailer for director Paul Greengrass' next film on the same week that a brand new Matt Damon movie is in theaters. Sadly the filmmaker and the Bourne star don't reunite in Captain Phillips, as it's Tom Hanks taking on the titular role, but judging from the new preview for the film - released over on Yahoo! - Greengrass is doing just fine with a new leading man.
This new trailer doesn't exactly do a good job of masking what happens in the film - it actually seems to pretty much show the whole thing - but, honestly, who doesn't already know the details and conclusions of this story? When the real Captain Richard Phillips was kidnapped in 2009 the news was absolutely everywhere, and the end of the story was what kept people buzzing about it. Hell, the whole thing even inspired an episode of South Park. Seeing how this story plays out on the big screen is what's going to draw audiences in, so the trailer has a bit more leeway in terms of spoiler territory.
This has been a pretty damn good day for movie previews, and this one is really just the cherry on top. Early this morning Chris Hemsworth was back swinging his hammer in the trailer Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World; then Spike Jonze had Joaquin Phoenix falling in love with a computer in the debut Her preview; then Ridley Scott put Michael Fassbender in hot water in the latest spot for The Counselor; and most recently Alan Rickman reenacted some rock 'n roll history in our first look at CBGB.
This fall is shaping up to be a great season for movies and Hanks seemingly has has two big titles taking part in the Oscar race. Not only does he have Captain Phillips, in a few months we will also watch him become Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks, a biopic about how Disney convinced author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) to let him turn Mary Poppins into a feature film. The first trailer for that movie, which will be in theaters this December, arrived last month and you can watch it below.
Hanks is definitely going to be showing off his awesome range in 2013. This could be the year that he's receives his first Oscar nomination since 2001's Castaway and his first win since 1994's Forrest Gump. We can't wait to see how both films turn out.

Aaron was offended by the tweeting. Then when these children realized who was reading their public twitters they went into damage control. Then Krupa has been tweeting about Mya's dance experience, fine...but apparently Krupa fans felt she went too far in mocking Mya...don't know what that means since I didn't see Krupa's twitters. A lot of drama ensued, and ABC message boards began removing threads.
Krupa has gone into damage control herself.
The upshot is this show is as much about "personalities" as it is dancing, so if these children don't know how to behave as adults then I'm not about to waste a vote on them either.
What I am saying is there are people with integrity on this show, and there's people without it. I choose to vote for those with it.
Further, I couldn't stomach one episode of the Osbournes, and Kelly's stint on MTV is not something I would call noteworthy, so if one doesn't like a cooking show that's fine, but let's get some perspective, the chefs on the show are world renouned and are highly sought after for their expertise. I'm not sure why Kelly's even famous, except that her Dad is a musician and well known drug abuser.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The side skirts were very easy to make. For the wing detail, I added 2 layers of paint on both sides and interestingly enough, they solidified to a very flexible shape.
The toughest part was... constructing the top. I was running out of fabric fast and sadly this fabric was no longer available at the shop where I got it (which is now closed down). I went with an idea of a tubetop then sewed the sleeves.
I couldn't get the wings to look the way I wanted it to but... at the same time I thought I did a pretty good job. :)
In the original art Rinoa poses with her own custom gunblade. Since I had no skills in woodwork and didn't want to rely on commission (due to a strict budget) I went with a cute idea of guns like Gunner Yuna in Final Fantasy X-2. And yes. They were called the Shooting Stars. :) I added foam wings and dark blue ribbons onto guns that I bought from the dollar store, haha!
- Personal Thoughts:
- This was the very first cosplay I did (and I actually have photographic evidence of!). I wanted to cosplay this Rinoa version for more than a year and I finally did it!
When I worked on this, I was in college with little sewing talent and it was all hand-sewn. I put a lot of heart and soul into making it for Nekocon in 2009 and I would do it all over again if I can :)

Even aircraft have feelings
FEW passengers boarding the Aloha Airlines Boeing 737 at Hilo Airport in Hawaii could have imagined what horrors lay ahead. Minutes after takeoff, when the plane was flying at an altitude of more than 7000 metres, a 6-metre section of the fuselage suddenly broke off, leaving the first-class cabin roofless. A flight attendant was instantly sucked out of the plane and fell to her death while passengers clung desperately to another, saving her from a similar fate.
The pilot made an emergency landing 10 minutes later at Kahului, the nearest airport, which was only 40 kilometres to the northwest. As the plane came in to land, people on the ground could see passengers strapped into their seats with the wind blowing in their hair. In addition to the single fatality, 61 of the 95 passengers were injured in the incident, three of them critically.
The accident, which took place in

What story ive caught seems extremely well fleshed out, i like the cyberpunk-esque feel to it also!! Im craving more of this! MORE!
Thanks! There will be MORE
great start
Dude, I love the animation and audio, don't quite understand the story, but you have the magic words in the title, episode 1, so I'm sure I'll realize more in later episodes, so not holding that against you, keep up the great work, and thanks for the great video.
Thanks! I'm glad you understood where I was coming from, if I don't leave any mystery, how will I get people coming back for more? "Episode 1", good words, eh? lol thanks for the review!
finally some sound quality. you gets a five my brotha
thanks! heh, been workin' on it.
The idea is there but.......
Although I dont understand the story to much I like the idea of what I do understand. The problem is how u delivered it. The animation was cool. The character were very lively and full of humor so I give props for that. When I fisrt saw the icon for this flash on the frontpage I thought to myself (finally! an action movie with black people!) Its been a long time since I've seen a good flash with a black guy as the main character thats acually a good flash(last one i've seen was the taishi seires). Dont get me wrong the flash is not bad but it dosent have the over the top martial arts action I was looking for. Thats what really took away from the score I gave u. Necxt time try to but mabye some hand to hand combat cause i checked out ur other flashes and none of them had what i was looking for either. Just mabye ur flash movies are not my type or ur point of the flash was to not put martial arts but that was the vibe I was getting. Hopefully this comstructive criticism will help u in ur future flashes. See ya. 8)
Helps a little, and I can see you not understanding the story yet, because I wasn't trying to tell everything from the start, then people probably wouldn't pay much attention later on, but did I get the 5/10 because there was no martial arts?

Equality group hail GAA star Brennan's speech on 'boyfriends and girlfriends'
* St Vincent's captain and Dublin star thanked team members' 'boyfriends and girlfriends'
* He made reference during speech in Croke Park after his team won All-Ireland club championship
CHAMPION footballer Ger Brennan has been hailed following his All-Ireland club final winning speech at Croke Park.
Speaking following his side's 4-12 to 2-11 victory over Castlebar Mitchels in Croke Park on Sunday, St Vincent's captain Brennan acknowledged the girlfriends and boyfriends who had supported the team.
"You know you've supported us all year," he said in his victory speech.
"You know, all the games down the country, Westmeath, Portlaoise, Parnell Park, up to Derry and indeed in Pairc An Chrocaigh and, without your support, we wouldn't have done the job today, so thanks very much," he said.
He added: "I think just, before I get on to our management, to the family, girlfriends, boyfriends of the players, everyone involved, there is a lot of work that goes into playing for your club team and, indeed, the county."
The player's speech was welcomed by the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN).
Its director, Brian Sheehan, told the Herald: "I think the point is that Ireland has transformed and the GAA has transformed with it in an opening and welcoming way.
"I think what Ger did and what the Cusack brothers did is acknowledge that there are gay and lesbian people in every parish and they are welcome in the GAA."
In January former Cork hurler Conor Cusack joined his brother Donal Og in revealing that he is gay. All Ireland winning goalkeeper Donal Og has previously spoken about the bigotry he has experienced.

Acting North Carolina Credit Union Administrator Rose Conner said she agreed to not release any state-issued CAMEL codes under her watch. That was good enough for the NCUA to agree Feb. 8 to end separate exams for North Carolina's state chartered credit unions.
State and federal regulators confirm agreement that will reinstate combined exams halted in fracas over SECU CAMEL score disclosure.
If you've ever wanted to appeal the results of your credit union's NCUA examination to someone outside the agency, a bill moving through the House of Representatives would allow you to do that.
This article will be among the news, features, analysis and insight filling the pages of the next print edition of Credit Union Times.
Saying that it hopes to help several million more families save money while helping the economy, the Obama administration on Oct. 24 unveiled a multifaceted plan to encourage the refinancing of mortgages.
While the NCUSIF's equity ratio is headed in the right direction, it's not clear how much it will benefit the bottom line of credit unions.
The NCUA says it's not developing a contingency plan for helping credit unions that stay deal with any new costs from more departures.

wikiHow to Breed a Blue Fire Dragon in DragonVale
The blue fire dragon is an all-blue dragon to place in your park in DragonVale. Born of both fire and cold elements, this is a dragon of interesting qualities indeed!
1Go to your breeding cave or the epic breeding island. Your park needs to be at level 9 or higher.
2Pair a fire dragon with a cold hybrid dragon. For example, a storm dragon or an ice dragon. Fire and storm seem to be the most compatible for a blue fire dragon outcome.
- Obviously, cold and fire are incompatible, hence a hybrid is needed. It is also possible to breed a cold dragon with a fire hybrid dragon to get a blue dragon.
- Both dragons should be at least at level 10 to guarantee success.
- Placement of the fire dragon first in the cave may affect the outcome positively.[1]
3Wait 12 hours for breeding. Breeding time can be hastened by spending gems.
- You'll know the attempt at getting a blue fire dragon has failed if you get a scorch or firefly dragon after 3-5 hours, or a storm dragon after 5 hours (all good dragons nonetheless).
- If the breeding continues, you should find a blue fire dragon after 12 hours. The egg is red with snowflakes across it, a nod to the heat and cold that go into making this dragon.
4Put the egg into the nursery to incubate. Wait another 12 hours until it hatches.
5Place the blue dragon in a cold or a fire habitat. To help it grow, feed it the same food as all baby dragons.
Community Q&A
How do I get blue fire dragons in DragonVale?wikiHow ContributorYou must use the regular fire dragon and a cold hybrid. I recommend a cold/lightning, because if you fail, you'll have short breeding and egg times.
- As with all dragon breeding, it may take a few attempts to get this dragon. Just keep trying.
- At level 1, this dragon will earn 20 coins per minute. At level 10, it will earn 130 coins per minute. (These are without boosts.) Earn coins then buy more of these dragons!
- The blue fire dragon's opposite is the frostfire dragon.
- If you breed a scorch and a cold you will get a blue fire.

We have well over 400 members (444 as of today). Check it out here and see if it might help. Sid Raisch made a comment at my last post about the closing. He asks, "Maybe someone who knows for sure such as former employees and suppliers to S&H will chime in, but it is possible that Scott's was an answer to problems that began much earlier. Is it possible that the concept of premium garden tools, decorative accessories, outdoor furniture, and related products was not scalable to a national retail platform? Did competition with other catalog companies become too intense, requiring the multi-channel Catalog-Internet-Bricks & Mortar expansion? There may have been individual stores that were well-run and self-sustaining but did they generate enough margin dollars to support the expense of the product design, sourcing, corporate systems and management overhead? Did the rapid expansion,top end growth, and outside investment mask underlying problems with the S&H concept? The store within a store at independent garden centers did have some merit, but did the wholesale margins really work? Lots of questions with the answers not apparent to draw a logical conclusion. What can others learn from S&H that will help them avoid making the same mistakes?"

Audi takes one-two in dramatic Le Mans
15 June 2014 – Audi claimed a one-two finish at the end of a dramatic 24 Hours of Le Mans on Sunday afternoon.
The #2 car of Benoît Tréluyer, Marcel Fässler and André Lotterer racked up 379 laps throughout the prestigious race, leading home the #1 machine of Tom Kristensen, Lucas di Grassi and Marc Gené by three tours.
Despite an early accident, Toyota trio Anthony Davidson, Nicolas Lapierre and Sébastien Buemi took third.
Audi's result had come under threat early on Sunday, with turbo problems hitting the German manufacturer's front running cars and handing the lead to the Porsche of Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard.
But Lotterer, rising back through the field, made light work of the #20 car, which later hit trouble of its own and retired, denying Webber and Porsche what would have been a podium on their return to Le Mans.
Kristensen, who had been in contention for a 10th Le Mans victory before being forced to pit with turbo trouble, thus returned the #1 Audi to second position, two laps ahead of the #8 Toyota, which remarkably recovered to the final podium spot after Lapierre caused major car damage when he crashed during an early spell of rain.
The #3 Audi, being driven by Marco Bonanomi at the time, was claimed by the storm in a separate incident.
Although Audi ultimately grabbed the top two positions at the chequered flag, the pole-sitting #7 Toyota of Alexander Wurz, Stéphane Sarrazin and Kazuki Nakajima had been in control in the early stages of the race.
Having taken over the wheel of the TS040 Hybrid from Sarrazin, ex-Formula 1 driver Nakajima was extending their advantage early in his stint, but a terminal electrical issue struck and cruelly ended the trio's efforts.
Jota Sport's Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey took honours in the LMP2 category, impressively returning to the top spot after tumbling down the order when the aforementioned rainfall shook the race.
The AF Corse Ferrari of Giancarlo Fisichella, Gianmaria Bruni and Toni Vilander came out on top in GTE Pro after problems for its main rivals, while the #95 Aston Martin Vantage of Kristian Poulsen, David Heinemeier-Hansson and Nicki Thiim secured the GTE Am win after the sister #98 machine hit power-steering trouble.

whoah! the irs jumping on intel? that is something i'm very surprised to hear about. intel is a huge corporation, and one that i would think the government would be more than happy to turn a blind eye towards due to the massive revenue it generates; but apparently no one is immune. i just pray i'm not audited for writing this story.
see, isn't the illegally allocated, unconstitutional joint agency of the "federal reserve bank" and the "internal revenue service" (neither of which are actually government agencies but both of which are, rather, privately held corporations) doing wonders for not only hard working americans but also large corporations? it begs the question in this reporter's mind: is intel being punished? and if so, for what?
read more in the reuters article, and post your thoughts below.

|this is what one gets (2:52pm est mon feb 26 2007)
for creative taxes….face it people when it comes to being creative it is good until you get to taxes, investments, loans, etc.
this is where the gov or the loaner will come in and tell you man you wanted to invest like that, you claim it like this, well you were wrong give us $xxxx. the same happens when you get ropped into a home loan that you really could not afford but the interest rate was low…by if the rate goes up (and it will always cycle) you are f'ked, just ask 1 in 3 home owners who bought houses in the past couple years.
now i guess the government wants to go after companies for how they count export sales…which is telling most business to move overseas!
i agree with rick the frb and irs need to be changed, but of course i am for a flat tax that caps at a low value since you cant tax the poor, and then a federal luxury sales tax, punish people that have a lot of money for buying crazy expensive stuff. i also think the business taxes need to be revamped but this is the tricky part…
ultimately all government spending needs to be made more efficient, and social programs need to be run better. – by asdfasdfasd
|rickgeek (4:32pm est mon feb 26 2007)
this country has a tax system that punishes success, and rewards slothfulness. personally, i'd just like to see the irs dismantled and all unconstitutional government programs completely shutdown. imagine how low our tax rates could be then.
with our current system, do you sometimes feel like a character in an ayn rand novel? i know i do. – by donnie
|more taxes on the rich! (6:02pm est mon feb 26 2007)
because they can afford it, and still live more comfortably than the rest of their fellow citizens. agree with asdfasdfasd with luxury taxes and a no-tax for poor people cap. i do still believe in the graduated system, however.
donnie, you read ayn rand?!? ha! tells me where *you're coming from… – by the_real_mark
|not government agencies? (7:19pm est mon feb 26 2007)
that's not correct.
the board of governors of the federal reserve system is an independent agency of the u.s. government. the twelve regional federal reserve banks are organized as corporations.
the status of the internal revenue service is much simpler: it's an agency of the department of the treasury.
|it begs the question in this reporter's mind: is intel being punished? (9:25pm est mon feb 26 2007)
for what?
hmmm … dodging taxes so they can push money in to r&d giving them an unfair advantage in the market place?
so that's why we got core 2 then the seemingly nonsensical jump straight to 45nm … intel have been snatching money from the education system and using it to destroy their competitors.
gotta love 'em! – by davethejackal
|the_real_mark (10:02pm est mon feb 26 2007)
i can tell that you were educated in our wondrous public school system. you obviously don't know anything about history, economics, or ayn rand.
fact: you advocate socialism. that's something that fails every time it's tried.
fact: what do you get when the government taxes the rich? less capital is available for the investment that creates jobs. then, when unemployment goes up as a result, our all-wise government leaders tell us that they have to raise taxes even more so that they can help the poor and the unemployed.
fact: had you read "atlas shrugged", you would know that ayn rand wrote about what would happen if socialism and fascism were taken to their logical extremes. – by donnie
|donnie (12:47am est tue feb 27 2007)
i love guys like you.
"fact: you advocate socialism. that's something that fails every time it's tried."
canada is, for the most part, democratic socialist, as is europe's most powerful nation: germany.
so genius, let's take a look at the current state of the economy. or better yet, just read this:
i could go on and on about how you�re wrong about more things than you are right about but the bottom line is that the current approach that the us govt is taking on the economy is absolutely wrong.
bush gave big corporations a free ride to write their own ticket. did you know that after bush signed the new bankruptcy law into effect chase bank�s profits (mainly from credit card revenue) went up 158%? well that�s small govt at work right? chase can charge people whatever they want in interest ( and i mean anything they want) because the usury laws have been rewritten in the states where credit card companies are set up but the consumer can no longer easily or inexpensively file bankruptcy much less get out of debt?
take a look at this:
look, if you want to improve the economy you give a demand side tax cut and you give conditional tax incentives to the wealthy to produce new goods and services domestically. bush is just giving welfare to the richest of the rich, and encouraging offshoring as much as possible because he�s borrowed so much damn money from foreign entities. and look where we are now: stuck in a protracted expeditionary war in the middle east with no way out in sight, spending billions a day. i heard that if bush repealed the tax cuts for the top 1 percent wealthiest in this country he then would be able to pay for the entire iraq war bill in one year. that sounds interesting to me. this is a lot unlike what happened with jfk, he gave a demand side tax cut, made a ton of money for the country and after lbj assumed power he then spent 7 dollars for every one that jfk made.
that is exactly what bush did with all the money clinton made, except he has borrowed and spent more money than all previous presidents combined.
objectivism is a pipe dream that rich people use to justify social inequality and the staunch separation of classes. trickle down theory doesn�t work and never has worked because rich people are greedy and cheap. ayn rand�s little fantasy philosophy should be called �subjectivism� because it actually has nothing to do with true objectivity at all.

should be this:

there was never a $5.6 trillion surplus at the end of the clinton administration.
there was at the end of fy 2001, however, about $3.3 trillion in debt held in federal treasuries, and about $5.7 trillion worth of total debt, including that existing in trust funds and other government accounts.
analysts predicted there would be 5 trillion surplus in 10 years if we had strong economy but we didnt. we had a recession. – by vince101
|oh dear (7:43am est tue feb 27 2007)
priceless comments again….
"intel have been snatching money from the education system and using it to destroy their competitors"
"dodging taxes so they can push money in to r&d giving them an unfair advantage in the market place"
r&d employs the brightest and smartest, and gives the us a marked advantage over non us companies in this respect. even if intel didnt invest this "robbed" money, amd certainly wouldnt come up with the goods in the r&d department.
what you are implying by the r&d statement is that intel shouldnt innovate and develop. :) i'm smiling cos i know that is not going to happen.
intel will always comply with any tax laws in whatever jurisdiction they must pay them. if there are allowances for r&d, intel will take them – just as any other high-tech company. it would be just plain stupid not to.
hmmm… next time you open your mouth, please have the brain working first … – by iknowiamright
|donnie (8:14am est tue feb 27 2007)
i couldn't agree more. there is a great war taking place in cyberspace right now to rewrite history and define the role of the federal reserve bank as a desirable one. but history had shown this country twice previously (in the early 1800s) that a centralized banking system is absolutely tyrannical. the glass-owen act of 1913 was passed on december 23, 1913, after hammering out more than 40 differences between the house version and the senate version in a single day! a wholly unprecedented act, and one which only saw its equal with the patriot act.
dianne feinstein recently had this to say on her signing the patriot act into law: "unbeknownst to any of us, in march 2006, in the patriot act reauthorization, a provision was included that allows the attorney general to appoint an interim u.s. attorney for an indefinite period of time."
unbeknownst to any of us? how could that be? she's a congresswoman, right? she read the bill, right? how could anything she helped put into law be unknown?
our government is a corrupt group intent on keeping their power in place. the only way it can be defeated is if the people wake up to that reality and realize they're being led down the primrose path by people who do not have their best interests at heart, but rather are milking them for everything possible.
doing what's right, for the sake of doing what's right (not for financial gain, in fact sometimes even for personal financial loss while other people get further ahead), is what we need. truth and righteousness.

… what i am implying is that without the robbed funds intel wouldn't have had the cash to attract the "brightest and smartest", as you put it.
true amd doesn't have nearly as much cash to throw at the problem, in part because they pay their tax bills. and yet, time and time again they've managed to out maneuver intel: amd64, the athlon xp, lds, on chip mmu … who knows what the future will bring.

so whats wrong with the fed bank? it works. – by vince101
|vince101 (9:46am est tue feb 27 2007)
are you serious? since 1913 the value of our dollar has decreased 25 fold. what used to cost 4 cents to buy now costs a dollar.
if you look at the history of our money in this nation, without a system of credit (the federal reserve bank is not a repository of money, but rather a system of credit) the money was stable around 25x what it is today. that goes back to 1635 when the first records were kept. it went up/down with the influx and outflux of gold & silver, and due to borrowing, but it always returned to within that range.
– by rickgeek
|rick (11:07am est tue feb 27 2007)
how can you blame the fed bank for this?
"since 1913 the value of our dollar has decreased 25 fold"
sure it takes some of the blame, but you have to realise that our money is decreasing in value is only part of why things cost more…just because you could buy something for 4 cents in 1913 it now cost $1 is due to a lot of factors, including supply, demand, inflation, deflation, etc…
also back in 1635 there was not the global economy nor the amount of borrowing you see today if you take out inflation.
i agree going back to gold standard would be great, but what we need to do first is fix the financial issues of this nation, and by issues i mean our broken social programs…in the most part. we need to then reform our monitary system, insurance system, and energy systmes….
see what people dont get is just because a project that needs to be done costs billions now, it will only cost more if you postpone it. people also need to realise that most congress people are not working for their best interest and that we need to put a finite number of terms a person can hold in an elected office…
o well, it is just about time in our countries age for a social revolt or even a civil war… – by asdfasdfasd
|asdfasdfasdf (12:04pm est tue feb 27 2007)
those are incorrect statements. the same amount of gold as used to be found in non-credit based currencies (remember silver certificates) buys the same amount of goods and services today. the only real variable there is improvements in the means of production and/or distribution, which means things would actually be cheaper (the other being the influx/outflux of gold, which is relatively stable, and certainly more stable than what a credit based currency has done to our money).
federal reserve notes (not dollars) are not money. they are notes (issues of credit) and are called fiat currency. they are deemed to be worth a particular value, but they are not really.
it's worth doing some research regarding the writings of the time, and of the first and second central banks in the united states back in the early 1800s. you'll realize very quickly how damaging a centralized bank (and especially a privatized corporation mimicking a banking institution) is to a society.

|don't you love all the moralist here attacking intel and big business (1:03pm est tue feb 27 2007)
recall that intel still makes about 1/2 of it's money on american soil while amd makes has all of it's fabs in germany.
why boy's and girls. because the germans gave them huge finacial insentives to do so. finacial insentives that you can bet included huge tax breaks from the german government.
but lets go after intel, tax the rich corporations to death, throw the law book at them, and drive even more of those jobs to places like germany, russia, india, china, ireland, where the smart governments are bribing them to bring their high paying jobs onto their soil as fast as they can. amd has yet to manufacture a single chip on american soil, but let's crucify intel for being one of the few left who still do and see if that helps.
all of the countries that practice the kind of robin hood socialism that you morons think you want are driving their manufacturing and their blue collar jobs away. their gdp's are going down and their unemployment rates are going up. it's not a good thing. their corporations are still getting rich, just not their people.
the airline and automotive industries are great examples of what happens when you let this kind of leftist stupidity run amok long enough. there will come a day not so far of now, when the only cars made in america are owned by the japanese companies thanks to letting the leftist have they way with that industry. they squeased that goose that laid the golden eggs until it's almost dead, in fact it's on life support right now and those dipshits are still squeasing.
in america we have such a highend sense of what we think is fair and what we think is right and wrong and 'political correctness' that we go way to far and what we all to often end up with what is a severe case of the "tail wagging the dog" syndrome.
we tax the shit out of everyone here, individuals, corporations, everyone. so much so that corporations are leaving our soil like they never have before.
a thinking man who cared about his high paying tech job might think twice about further taxing one of the biggest job providers left on american soil just because they hate the people at the top of the big high paying corporations who make even more money then he does.
i'd much rather tolerate 10,000 corporate raiders stealing a few billion a year then see 10,000,000 tech workers loosing a few trillion a year. but try explaining those kinds of numbers to some dipshit politician or some leftist bolt tightener or some hollywood bubble head who really doesn't understand the difference between 10,000, 10 million, a billion, and a trillion and watch their eyes glaze over. but robin hood, that fairy tale they get….

brilliant donnie:
placing the word fact in front of your statement does not make it one. they must have taught you that one in a really expensive private school where information is secondary to agendas.
where did i advocate socialism? i'm all for a free economy where people are encouraged to strive for a better quality of life, not to serve the already wealthy ("booming job force"=service related). what we have now is not competative in the least.
ayn rand writes interesting novels. it's funny when crazies such as yourself preach like it holds all of life's answers.
the problem with people like our president and yourself is that you only see things in black and white. if you actually had paid attention in your class (although it could have been your teacher), you would learn that there are many truths to any situation.
as for your *weak argument for lack of capital…
as far as reserve notes, yes they are just paper. just like the 20's in your wallet. if you think they're useless, i'll gladly take them off your hands…
ee92, your examples hold no weight. airlines and american car companies were hurt by one (major) thing: petrolium prices.
ford and gm refused to make fuel efficient cars, so what did americans start doing? buying foreign cars. btw i drive a focus (36 mpg), ford's best selling car.
the airline business was deffinately rocked due to government intervention, but the last five years it's been about fuel.

|vince101 (8:34am est thu mar 01 2007)
for what it's worth, there are no corporations anywhere being taxed. no corporations pay one cent of tax anywhere. the truth is, we the consumer are being "insanely taxed" because those corporations pass along their tax expenses directly to us.
any tax, no matter what it outwardly appears to be on, resides upon our shoulders. and inflation through a debt-based currency is just a hidden tax. if you don't think that's true, follow the "money". where would you have been having invested $100,000 in gold in 1913 and where would you be having invested $100,000 in a 5% interest account today? you'll find that you'll be at exactly the same place. the real value of things has not decreased or increased, only their outward appearance because of this hidden tax. it now takes many more federal reserve notes (dollars) to buy the same things than it used to. our money has less value.
– by rickgeek
|gold, currency. (12:25pm est thu mar 01 2007)
rick. yes, our dollar is worth less today. you have our great president and his lackeys' choices over the last six years to thank for that. but we don't need to go back into it…
like i said before, if you are holding any federal reserve notes (currency), and think it's useless, i'll gladly take them off your hands. our economy isn't completely destroyed, it's still the most powerful in the world, fer crying out loud. but if things continue down this path, well, i think asdfasdfasd said it best. revolt.
let's hope a political change can prevent it, however. not just dems coming in, but politicians that can actually do things in the interest of the people that elect them.
to me it's what's people want, and what they're willing to do to get it. when our government can convince its citizens and corporations that our money is worth working our asses off for, we will do so. if we go back into the dark ages and say: the shiney's are what you really want, folks will resort to the frontier mentality (which a few people on these boards are still stuck in).
there is no frontier on earth left, and a finite amount of resources. people like our president and his followers need to pull their heads out their asses and realize that. – by the_real_mark

money is not just worthless, but the idea that items are worht more….
it is a supply and demand curve, situation for most items…
take beach property in cali…do you really think you 100ft beach front is worth millions of dollars? no, but it is in high demand and in short supply making it cost a lot of money….
face it also driving money down or cost up is population…the more people the higher demand for things the more they cost…
it is simple yet complex, and you cannot attribute it to the fed's or the political system, but you can to people and what they will spend for things…
if a car that today cost $40k did not sell the producer would drop its price till it did, but if the car was in limited supply sells would increase the price, but the price is relative…

on the war and what we could have spent on it, this is also a bs claim…
if we were not in the war we would have never spent that money because we had to borrow from social security to flow the cost… – by asdfasdfasd
|the_real_mark (9:49pm est thu mar 01 2007)
i would suggest doing some research in to the history of "money" in this country. you'll find that the value of the dollar was relatively consistent from 1635 until 1913, at around 25x that of what it is today. you'll find that since we instituted a centralized, privatized banking system of credit in this nation the value of our "dollar" has been on a steady decline.
let's say a person makes $50k per year with an annual inflation rate of 3% to 5%. unless that person is getting raises in excess of 3% to 5% per year, that person is slowly making less and less in that society.
inflation comes when there are more pieces of paper representing the nation's actual worth than there were before. a simple comparison is bails of hay. if i issue pieces of paper relating to the hay, call them "hay certificates" and i have 100 bails of hay i can issue 100 certificates. if tomorrow i printed 100 more and issued those as well, would the number of bails of hay i have changed? no, but since there are now 200 certificates for only 100 bails, each certificate now only redeems one-half bail of hay.
that's exactly how inflation works, and that's exactly how this nation's system of monetary credit and "federal reserve notes" (which are not dollars in the real sense–a dollar is a unit of weight measuring a quantity of gold and silver, see the coinage act of 1792 and subsequent amendments) operates. it is by design to slowly remove the nation's wealth, to transfer it from the middle and poor classes into the hands of the rich.
if you want to learn about it you really only need to read one source, which has proven itself time and time again when faced against scrutiny, the book entitled "the creature from jekyll island: a second look at the federal reserve". you can also find audio versions online whereby the author spoke to a university on the subject. it's about 30 minutes long if memory serves.
search for "g. edward griffen" or "the creature from jekyll island" and "mp3" to find it.
governments like fiat currencies because they're flexible and they can do more with them (because it's a system of credit and promisary notes). but regular people, you, me, everyone, are always taken advantage of in such currency models. we would be far, far better off if we went back to gold and silver as their value does not change significantly over time.
it's a much safer form of currency and the fact that it has real value is of real value to families, people and communities.

Democrat Jon Ossoff was the top candidate in an all-party House special election in Georgia on Tuesday night, but failed to gain more than 50% of the vote, which means a runoff election will be held in June.
As of early Wednesday morning, Ossoff had 48.6% of the vote, with about two-thirds of precincts reporting, according to The Wall Street Journal. CNN called the race just after midnight, projecting that Ossoff will miss the 50% needed to win outright, after technical problems delayed the count late in the night.
Ossoff is now likely to go up against the second-placed candidate, Georgias Republican former secretary of state Karen Handel, in the runoff on June 20.
Some Democrats viewed the race as a referendum on President Donald Trump, and had hoped that an anti-Trump backlash would help them win the seat outright and build momentum to take back the House in 2018. Republicans have held Georgias 6th Congressional District, in Atlantas conservative suburbs, for decades, but Trump won the district by less than 2% in November.
The special election was held to fill the seat of former Rep. Tom Price, who was named Trumps secretary of health and human services.
The Democratic establishment poured millions of dollars into the race as they rallied around the 30-year-old Ossoff, who faced 17 candidates in the open election. But while Ossoff will apparently handily win Tuesdays race, Democrats worry splintered Republicans will unify in time for the June election, and keep the seat in Republican hands.
President Donald Trump weighed in on the race Tuesday in a series of tweets, saying Ossoff would be a disaster and noting that he doesnt even live in the district.
Earlier Tuesday, Ossoff acknowledged living outside the district, saying he lives nearby with his girlfriend, who is attending medical school. Ossoff said he grew up inside the district and if he won, he would move back inside its borders.
This is a huge win for the GOP, and President Trump. The Democrats have poured MILLIONS into this election, and brought out Hollywood actors to influence this election. It appears the GOP is positioned to win the runoff in June; this is an election that's worth keeping an eye on folks. #MAGA

Page Name: "What's good"
Page Type: Wanna-be ghetto teenager
Page Grade: D-
Well here we go again....another one of these. Another one of those teenage pages where the author wishes they could buy their own beer and hopes that maybe someday he will know what a woman's breast feels like. In this case - our angst ridden teen is named Jeremy.
Let us begin by looking at how Jeremy describes himself:
Jeremy's InterestsPerhaps my favorite part about judging myspace pages is getting to witness the sheer stupidity of America's youth. In this case, our young Jewish friend is informing us that his general interests are "filling up the kegs".
General fillin up the kegs Music I listen to anything excpt clasical and jazz and that stuff Movies something good Television shows like family guy feuturama south park and stuff like that Books playboy, hustler, and all the good stuff
This we know, is a classic teenage mistake. Jeremy needs to be told two things
1) Kegs aren't filled by drinkers - they are pressurized and filled by the brewery (drinkers empty kegs, not fill them).
2) Everyone who has ever had experience with a keg knows that it is a BITCH to change out and is hardly an event worthy of "general interest".
Don't worry Jeremy - some day you will be allowed more than just a sip of your uncle's beer - just be patient!
Also notice that our Jeremy is an avid reader of Hustler and Playboy and "all the good stuff" - one has to wonder what our lonely teen considers to be the "good stuff". Perhaps the poetry of Frost? The music and lyrics of the Indigo Girls? Well - as long as it isn't classical and Jazz (two brands of music that it appears Jeremy thinks are one in the same).
Well dear readers - there is little else to report on this page. Jeremy is your standard honky teenager who wants a little more danger in his life. Perhaps if our young friend goes to college he will be able to broaden his horizons enough to realize that no one is going to believe that an 18 year old white boy from Alabama makes more than $250,000 a year. Everyone with a brain knows this translates to "poor white trash".
Jeremy struggles to hang on to a D-.
