As a guy who has been a fanatical Yankee fan as long as I can remember, I've probably heard this jingle at least 10,000 times. If it doesn't sound familiar, then you either don't live in the Northeast or have completely sequestered yourself from anything related to sports. The jingle belongs to Modell's, a New York, NY based company that is "is the nation's oldest, family-owned and operated, retailer of sporting goods, sporting apparel, menswear and brand name athletic footwear." Desite the fact that Modell's "operate over 140 stores throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Virginia, Rhode Island and the District Of Columbia," I don't think that I've ever stepped foot in one. That's probably an anomaly because I love sporting goods, and their branding is about as good as it gets.
I'll admit that I've moved most of my sporting good purchasing online, but I think there's still a ton of value in the retail experience. Modell's does offer online shopping, but it seems pretty clear that their business is still all about retail. Modell's was founded as a single store in 1889, and it grew as a combination of "full-line" discount stores and sporting goods stores. After 100 years of existence, they made the decision to focus 100% on sporting goods. There's not much more info on how the business operates, so you may want to head straight to Modell's Jobs site to learn more. While most of their positions are in their retail locations, there are some home office positions to look at. The best fit for a new grad is probably the Community Ambassador position. They say it's located in Central New Jersey, but they don't get more specific than that. Check it out. (They also have some paid internships posted, so that could be a sign of other entry level opportunities.) Go to Mo's!

Panasonic TX-L42ET5 review
Panasonic TX-L42ET5 reviewT3
Full Review
The Panasonic LX-L42ET5 is part of the brand's new ET5 range of 'affordable' 3D LED TVs which uses Passive rather than Active Shutter 3D tech
Panasonic TX-L42ET5 review
- Content rich VIERA Connect
- Good media playback via USB
- Clean 3D performance
- Limited motion resolution
- Black levels could be better
- File support falters on LAN
It's good to see a 42-inch Freeview HD 3D TV that's unapologetically populist. Embracing a Primark aesthetic (affordable but on trend) and keeping a lid on advanced panel tech, it's priced to appeal to everyone looking for a big brand thinscreen with net-connectivity.
Affordable yet edgy, the 42-inch Panasonic LX-L42ET5 is clearly looking to put the squeeze on rivals like the LG 42LM640T and the 40-inch Samsung D6510. Need more or less glass? The ET5 also comes in 32-, 37-, 47- and 55-inch guises. But while value appears high, compromises have been made on performance.
Panasonic TX-L42ET5: Features
Those keen to jump aboard the streaming TV bandwagon will find the ET5 a comfortable set of wheels. Take the set online integrated Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet and you'll soon have access to Netflix, Acetrax, BBC iPlayer, BBC News, YouTube, Fetch TV and Dailymotion, amongst other services.
The set will also socialise via Skype, Picasa, Facebook and Twitter (the latter while you watch the box), there's even an HTML5 browser for basic web wandering. Those that still have spare time can download games from the connected apps store (bizarrely, priced in Euros).
The TV's resident USB media player handles most everything without quibble. All popular AV file formats play from USB, including FLAC and MKV. Across a network from a NAS, MKV support goes AWOL though.
Panasonic TX-L42ET5: Design
Not quite as svelte as its LX-42DT50 stablemate, the ET5 still scrubs up well. The glossy grey frame, edged with translucent plastic (optimistically described by Panasonic as crystal), is smart but casual, although the bezel is a relatively deep 25mm.
Panasonic TX-L42ET5: Specs
A full cadre of connections are on offer, including four HDMIs (one of which is ARC compliant), component & SCART via shared adaptor, Ethernet, optical digital audio out, PC and phono AV. There are also three USB ports and an SD card reader, so there's no shortage of ingress into the set.
Panasonic TX-L42ET5: Performance
Economies in technology are clearly visible when this screen is powered up. Most obviously, the set's motion resolution is limited. Even with Panasonic's IFC (Intelligent Frame Creation) processor on Max image definition is limited to around 850 lines, and comes with a fair degree of smudgy motion artefacts. This isn't a screen best suited to sports.
That said, the set's LED edge-lighting is actually rather good with only low levels of light pooling close to the frame, however blacks are more accurately dark grey.
TV reviews
The TV's Passive 3D performance also gets a thumbs-up – provided you view square on. Mount this TV above a fireplace (for example) and its 3D images fall apart in spectacular fashion, as off-axis vertical viewing is non-existent. Four pairs of polarising glasses are supplied in the box.
The screen's audio performance can be kindly described as functional. The 2 x 10w speakers try hard not to offend, and largely succeed.
Panasonic TX-L42ET5: Verdict
While this ET5 may not offer of this world performance, as a mainstream internet-enabled proposition is does a commendable job. Image quality is decent, caveats about motion clarity and black levels not withstanding, and its Passive 3D implementation works a treat.

Kenya deputy president seeks trial adjournment
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Lawyers for Kenya's deputy president sought an urgent adjournment Sunday in his trial at the International Criminal Court so he can return home to help deal with the fallout from the deadly shopping mall attack in Nairobi.
The motion underscores the difficulties for Deputy President William Ruto in attending the trial in The Hague while trying to help run his country.
Ruto's lead attorney, Karim Khan, said the court is expected to debate his request early Monday morning.
"Mr. Ruto, as the serving deputy president of Kenya, is required to return to Kenya to discharge his ordinary constitutional duties which include participating in security briefings and consultations and involvement in other ongoing and very sensitive national security investigations," Khan's motion said.
Ruto, whose trial started earlier this month in The Hague, has pleaded not guilty to charges of orchestrating violence in the aftermath of Kenya's 2007 elections. He is the first such high-ranking elected government leader to go on trial at the International Criminal Court.
Saturday's mall attack by Islamic extremists left dozens of people dead and Kenyan troops in in standoff with the assailants. Somalia's al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into Somalia and threatened more attacks.
Before Ruto's trial started, judges had agreed to a defense request to allow the deputy president to remain in Kenya for parts of his case. However prosecutors appealed the decision, and Ruto is currently obliged to attend all sittings in The Hague until there is a ruling on that appeal.
Khan said the situation unfolding in Nairobi "shows the wisdom of the trial chamber's original decision and how regrettable it was the prosecution took such a rigid view" of the necessity for Ruto to attend all hearings.
"There are 40 million people in Kenya, and they have a constitutional right to have the people they want govern over them," Khan said.
The situation could become further exacerbated later this year when Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is due to go on trial for his alleged role in 2007-2008 postelection violence that left more than 1,000 people dead.
ATF kept out of the loop after Navy Yard shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) — Within hours of the Navy Yard shootings, the FBI was tracing the gunman's recent purchase of a shotgun, sending agents to the shop in northern Virginia where he bought it — and leaving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives out of the loop.
The surprising snub between top U.S. law enforcement agencies comes as the ATF struggles to show its relevance in Washington.
The ATF is the federal agency in charge of tracing traces guns used in crimes, including the military-style semi-automatic rifle used in a rampage at a Connecticut school last year, a similar rifle used in the deadly shooting at a Colorado movie theater and a handgun used to kill six people and critically wound a congresswoman, among others, outside a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz.
Man charged in bank robbery, trooper shooting
WARRENTON, Mo. (AP) — An eastern Missouri man has been charged with robbing a bank and shooting a trooper while fleeing.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 64-year-old Warren Gladders of Wentzville was charged Saturday in Warren County with first-degree assault against a law enforcement officer, armed criminal action, robbery in the first degree and possession of an illegal firearm.
Bail has been set at $500,000. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Gladders is accused of robbing the First Bank of Dutzow on Friday morning. Afterward, a witness provided a description of the getaway car. When Gladders was stopped, a shootout ensued near the St. Charles County town of New Mell.
Gladders was shot in both legs, and a bullet lodged in the bullet-proof vest of a trooper.
State Trooper shot in chest during shootout; bulletproof vest saves his life
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a trooper was saved by his bulletproof vest during a shootout.
The incident started after a suspect walked into a First Bank in Marthasville. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of money and sped away from the scene. A State Trooper was in the area and chased the suspect onto a nearby highway. The suspect stopped his vehicle and started shooting at the officer. He was hit in the chest, but was able to shoot back and hit the suspect in the leg.
The trooper was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
The suspect is receiving treatment at St. John's Mercy Medical Center.
Police arrest pair connected to robberies and shootings
St. Louis Police say they have arrested the people responsible for a series of robberies and shootings earlier this week.
Officers say a 32-year-old man and 28-year-old woman are responsible for three robberies on Monday night. The first happened just after 8 PM, when the pair allegedly shot a victim. About an hour later, police say the couple robbed and shot a victim. And just 10 minutes later and just blocks away, the pair robbed another person.
The suspects were captured after police released a photo of the woman using a debit card that was taken from one of the victims.
Man sentenced to life for murdering newspaper manager
A St. Louis man is headed to prison for the rest of his life for murdering a newspaper manager.
Rico Paul was given the sentence for shooting and killing Paul Reiter, the manager of the St. Louis American. Reiter was shot as he was calling 911 to report a burglary that Paul was committing.
A jury found Paul guilty in his second trial--the first ended in a mistrial when jurors were unable to reach a verdict.
Audit critical of Navy security review system
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say a draft Defense Department audit criticizes one of the Navy's security review programs for lower level contractors. But that process was not the one used to evaluate the former reservist who gunned down 12 people Monday at the Washington Navy Yard.
Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old information technology contractor involved in the shooting rampage, had a secret security clearance for his job. He went through a different, more extensive review.
The Defense Department Inspector General found that a separate system used to review some contractors did not properly vet the workers. That program is generally for contractors who don't have security clearances.
Officials described the audit on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a draft report. He was granted the clearance in March 2008.
St. Louis county man accused of shooting at three boys
NORTHWOODS, Mo. (AP) - A St. Louis County man is facing charges for allegedly shooting at three young siblings.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 31-year-old Jerome McKay of Northwoods is jailed on $75,000 bond. He is accused of shooting and wounding an 8-year-old boy Friday night. The boy was struck in the arm and taken to a hospital. His 4-year-old brother had a graze wound and was treated at the scene. A 12-year-old boy was unhurt.
Police say McKay is a cousin of one of the boys. Police have not discussed a motive and have not said if the boys were the intended targets.
AP: Federal agents ID suspect in Naval Yard shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal law enforcement officials say the man accused in a shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard that left at least 12 people dead has been identified as Aaron Alexis.
The two officials spoke Monday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
One of those officials says Alexis was a 34-year-old from Texas. He is believed to have a criminal record there and to be a holder of a concealed carry weapon permit.
That official says Alexis is believed to have gotten into the Navy Yard by using someone else's identification card. It is not yet clear if that individual was an accomplice or if that person's ID card was stolen.
Shooting victims not cooperating with police
Police are expressing frustration after victims of a Thursday night shooting are not cooperating with investigators.
Police say a 29-year-old man started arguing with a 40-year-old man over motorcycle parts. The 40-year-old man left and returned a shot time later with a gun. That is when officers believe the suspect started shooting. The 29-year-old man and a second person ran from the scene. One of the men was shot, the other was uninjured.
Police say neither of the men is cooperating with police.

Previous studies reported a higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia among individuals with impaired lung function. However, many did not adjust for important confounders or did not include women and nonwhites.
We studied 10,975 men and women aged 47–70 (23% African-Americans), enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. Pulmonary function tests and a cognitive assessment, including the Delayed Word Recall, the Digit Symbol Substitution, and the World Fluency Tests, were done in 1990–92. Repeated cognitive assessments were performed in 1996–98 for the entire cohort, and in 1993–95 and 2004–06 in 904 eligible individuals. Dementia hospitalization was ascertained through 2005.
In analysis adjusted for lifestyles, APOE genotype, and cardiovascular risk factors, impaired lung function was associated with worse cognitive function at baseline. No association was found between lung function and cognitive decline over time. Impaired lung function at baseline was associated with higher risk of dementia hospitalization during follow-up, particularly among younger individuals. The hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of dementia hospitalization were 1.6 (0.9, 2.8) and 2.1 (1.2, 3.7) comparing the lowest to the highest quartile of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity, respectively. Presence of a restrictive ventilatory pattern, but not of an obstructive pattern, was associated with reduced cognitive scores and higher dementia risk.
Reduced lung function was associated with worse performance in cognitive assessments and with an increased risk of dementia hospitalization. Future research should determine whether maintaining optimal pulmonary health might prevent cognitive impairment and dementia.
Keywords: Lung function, cognitive decline, dementia, prospective studies

A Love of Simplicity
We have lost the awareness of what is essential. We are constantly distracted by a consumerist culture that vies for our attention, pulling us in every direction with offers of a better lifestyle, the importance of doing more, and the hope finding happiness through material things. Consumerism could be called a pseudo-religious systemit virtues are competitiveness and acquisitiveness. The result is that our desires take precedence over such values as tenderness, compassion and community. We forget who we really are and believe that living means having.
Consumption uncovers the emptiness within, an emptiness filled only with the infinite love of God.
Following Francis, we choose a simple lifestyle, not because we want to free up some time or even find peace and quiet, but because we desire to put God first.
The more simple our lives become, the more room there will be in our heart to embrace the deepest peace and harmony with all.

The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School is a leader in the study of the law and policy around the Internet and other emerging technologies.
Copyright and Fair Use
A healthy copyright system must balance the need to provide strong economic incentives through exclusive rights with the need to protect important public interests like free speech and expression. Fair use is foundational to that balance. It's role is to prevent copyright from stifling the creativity it is supposed to foster, and from imposing other burdens that would inhibit rather than promote the creation and spread of knowledge and learning.
The Fair Use Project (FUP) was founded in 2006 to provide legal support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom and protect important public rights. It is the only organization in the country dedicated specifically to providing free and comprehensive legal representation to authors, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other content creators who face unmerited copyright claims, or other improper restrictions on their expressive interests. The FUP has litigated important cases across the country, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and worked with scores of filmmakers and other content creators to secure the unimpeded release of their work.

Putting the Public's Interest Back Into the "Public Interest"
By David Levine • March 20, 2014 at 3:13 pm
What's your definition of the "public interest" when it comes to law and lawmaking? Is it a unitary concept, where we consider the good of society as a whole? If so, you might think that the public's interest is in a "public interest" which encompasses "cross-cutting issues" that transcend narrow considerations and allows debate about and among competing interests. On the other hand, do you view the "public interest" more narrowly? If so, you might view the public's interest as served by placing "public interest" in a box separate from other interests, like environmental, labor or intel Read more » about Putting the Public's Interest Back Into the "Public Interest"

Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?
By Eric E. Johnson • November 14, 2013 at 11:30 am
One of the coolest konomark requests I've received so far came from Judi Pennella, who sought permission to use a photo of mine to decoupage a play kitchen cabinet for her 2-year-old granddaughter.
The photo is of a burner on an electric stove (below right). You can see in the picture she sent me (right), how she used it to make a simulated range.
Konomark is my project with CIS to create a simple way for people to signal their willingness to receive requests for re-use of photos or other copyrighted content on a no-fee basis. Read more » about Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?
Google's triumph advances transformative use of copyrighted workAuthor(s):Julie AhrensPublication Date:November 24, 2013Publication Type:Other Writing
On Nov. 14, a New York federal court judge ruled to uphold Google's ambitious project to scan and digitize millions of books from cooperating libraries into a massive, searchable online database. This was a victory not only for Google but also for the greater public good. Judge Denny Chin dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by authors, finding that Google's copying and indexing of more than 20 million books to create a new, highly useful search tool is protected by fair use.

How to Copy RightAuthor(s):Christopher SprigmanPublication Date:November 8, 2013Publication Type:Other Writing
In their essay "Fake It Till You Make It" (July/August 2013), Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman urged the United States to "relax" when it comes to the flagrant disregard for intellectual property laws in China. The authors make two essential arguments: first, that the United States in its early days, like China today, was a "pirate nation," and second, that copying drove the United States' economic growth.

Fair Use for the Rich and Fabulous?Author(s):Tim GreenePublication Date:July 30, 2013Publication Type:Academic Writing
In two recent decisions concerning copyright's fair use doctrine, the Second Circuit addressed the lawfulness of incorporating one creative work into a new one. In both Cariou v Prince and Salinger v Colting, US District Judge Deborah Batts enjoined similar activity using nearly identical reasoning. But on appeal, the Second Circuit found fair use in the former and likely infringement in the latter. Read more » about Fair Use for the Rich and Fabulous?
Understanding Trademark StrengthAuthor(s):Tim GreenePublication Date:July 7, 2013Publication Type:Academic Writing
Trademark strength, properly understood, refers to the scope of protection afforded a trademark by courts based on that mark's inherent and acquired: (1) tendency to signify to consumers a consistent source of the products to which the mark is affixed; and (2) ability to influence a consumer's purchasing decisions. The stronger the mark, the more uses the mark's owner may exclude from the marketplace through a trademark infringement or dilution action. Read more » about Understanding Trademark Strength
Lang v. Morris
Sarah Morris is a well-known multimedia artist and filmmaker. In 2007, she debuted her "Origami" series, 24 paintings in which she reworked, redesigned, and reshaped origami crease patterns on canvas. Several origami artists sued Morris for copyright infringement, arguing Morris had unduly appropriated their allegedly copyrightable origami crease patterns in developing the "Origami" series. The Fair Use Project teamed up with attorneys Bob Clarida and Donn Zaretsky to defend Morris. We briefed the fair use issues on summary judgment. Read more » about Lang v. Morris

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Walker discusses recall, unions with D.C. website
Conservative Washington D.C. website The Daily Caller posted video of an interview Sunday with Gov. Scott Walker in which the governor shared his view about a recall election.
"This is one of those defining moments not only in Wisconsin history but I believe as part of the national political landscape, this will be one of these defining moments as well," Walker says in an interview with Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas.
The governor said Republican and Democratic governors and mayors might have different motivations, but leaders in both parties are looking at reining in costs of public sector unions.
"I think any of us who are honest understand if you don't get legacy costs under control, it's a virus that will eat up and eat up and eat up more and more of your budget. It's the same problem GM and Chrysler and others got into, and state and local governments have to fix it."
Walker was in Washington to appear at a meeting of the American Enterprise Institute.

I think he's a huge liar. He says the tax payers got the savings from the union busting?
BS. My taxes didnt go down, because I'm not rich enough. He makes it sound like he's cutting spending, but he's not. He's increasing spending. Every year!! by 1.2 - 1.8 B dollars over the previous. If you look at his budget numbers, he's spending 9B more than doyle in the first 3 years he's in office.
keepnitreal - My taxes went up because of the tech schools (MATC) helping themselves to my money; a liberal concept. Our local school spending is fine, just like most others.
In his biennial budget Governor Walker is spending $7 billion more than he himself claims is income to pay for our debts. He claimed that we have money to fund a $59 billion budget. Instead he signed a $66 billion budget, claiming that he took care of a $3.6 billion deficit also and did not raise taxes. Does he have a special money tree about which he is not talking. If I spend more money than I take in, I do not have a balanced budget.
You taxes more likely went up because our Governor is spending more money. Where do you think the state revenue comes from? State money to MATC was cut, just like it was to the UW systems. If we are spending less tax dollars on the colleges, how do you figure they are to blame for your taxes going up?

jrr: you complain that your taxes are up. I agree they are.
If we are spending less money on the unions, the universities, and the tech/community colleges, how can you blame them for your increase in taxes? Or do you not understand math?
Walker is spending more money somewhere. It's not on the teachers/schools/unions/public employees. Only a small part of that massive increase in spending is for Medicare. There's still 7.8B more he's spending than his predecessor... on what?
Republicans don't seem to understand that if you have a more or less fixed income of $59 billion and pass an expense budget of $66, the two are not equal amounts. I can tell you that I am spending as much as I am receiving in taxes, but the facts in the budget do not show equal amounts. That should be easy to understand unless you don't want to look at the facts.
Can someone please tell the rest of the class when the last year MATC didn't pass a tax levy increase? Perhaps if they shift efforts from trying to run a liberal arts college instead of the technical college they're supposed to be running, and reign in salaries and unneeded spending, they would not need to raise the levy 5, 10, 12 percent EVER YEAR.
Walker is controlling spending?
He's spending 9B more than doyle did in the first 3 years of his term.
His budget leaves the state farther in debt than when he took office.
And to pay for his increases in spending, he's going to have to collect 1.2-1.8B more each year over the previous. In 2013, he's collecting 4B more than 2010. Where will this money come from when he's cutting taxes for the rich/corps?
It's not from new workers. It would take 600K new workers, each year he's in office, and each making 40k/year to pay for this without increasing taxes on the working people. Do you think that's been happening? He can't even make the 250K jobs over 4 years he promised us in order to get elected.
Without those, it means he's going to take more money out of the currently working people's pockets. And for every dollar he cuts for the rich/corps, that's an extra dollar out of our pockets.Hide replies
Consider this, in 2011, Walker cut 117M dollars in taxes to the rich/corps in his first month of office.
There are 5.6M people in WI.
His first month in office cost the working people of WI $20.90 for each man, woman and child living in WI.
And who did this money go to help? People that already have a lot of money.
keepnitreal - The tax cuts do not cost anyone anything. They do not take a dime out of your pocket.. They did not even start until this year. You are a master at twisting the budget numbers. I recommend you, and everyone else go to factcheck.org to review the actual budget scenario.
Imagine if he hadn't cut the spending.
You know you are intentionally spreading lies when you spout off like you are. You know that if the companies are not in WI they do not pay any taxes here, so the tax breaks do not cost the state anything at all and bring new jobs and revenue into our state.
You KNOW that, but continue to spread lies and misinformation.
Typical liberal.
The tax cuts don't cost anyone anything? How do you figure. They account for 117M the state would have collected in taxes. That's 117M less that the state has to do things, like fix roads, pay for schools, etc.
And Jrr: You're wrong again. They started when they were passed in January. They are specifically cited by the JFC as more than 1/2 of the reason the budget was going to be short last spring.
Pondo: 2/3 of the corps in WI pay nothing to WI in tax anyway. But this 117M was paid to WI, and now is not as payback by our Gov to the people that got him elected.
Tax cuts dont cost anything.... tell that to the people that lost their jobs because of the new budget.
The Walker plan saved the jobs of teachers and public workers - the union was ready, willing, and waiting giddily to lay off thousands to maintain their sphere of influence. They would've pulled the trigger themselves, and then blame the governor for "making them do it". I'm glad Walker popped that bubble and put control in the hands of taxpayers, not Goonionista fatcats.
"Our analysis indicates that for the three-year period, aggregate, general fund tax collections will be $202.8 million lower than those reflected in the November/December reports. More than half of the lower estimate ($117.2 million) is due to the impact of Special Session Senate Bill 2
(health savings accounts), Assembly Bill 3 (tax deductions/credits for relocated businesses), and Assembly Bill 7 (tax exclusion for new employees)." JFC report January 31, 2011.
Typical liberal.
Stick to the lies regardless of the facts.
A tax on a job that is not here = $0.00
You are saying that because the job COULD have been taxed, then the $ that COULD have been revenue is actually costing the taxpayers of WI.
So you libs would rather have 100% of nothing than the other forms of tax revenue generated by the jobs, not to mention the economic impact of the jobs and the families that benefit from them.
And please stop the lie that Walker caused the job losses. 7 of 10 jobs lost were direct results of union contracts that were pushed through before Act 10.
That's a fact - THOUSANDS of jobs were lost directly as a result of their union "brothers and sisters" not compromising on their benefits. 7 of 10. 70%. 700 of 1000 jobs lost. However you want to look at it, the unions were yet again shown to be completely selfish and uncaring for the people who would have kept their jobs if they would have done what they claimed they would have - compromised.
They didn't, they never would have, and Walker was 100% correct in doing what had to be done.
If you want to know what Governor Walker is doing in his budget, please go to the budget itself. Do not rely upon what someone else tells you is there because most of them are trying to sell you their particular agenda. Organizations like factcheck and politifact often are very inaccurate depending upon whether the author was liberal or conservative. They claim to be fully objective, but definitely are not.
yeah, you're better off reading the stuff from your union rep.
Hmm, so you do not want to know what is going on? Quoting "facts" that are not facts is not helpful to the discussion. Do you think Governor Walker helped his plans by promising minor changes to the collective bargaining laws and then completely dismantling the system without discussion?
More lies from the lying liars who continue to lie...
Don't expect liberals to post much on this article. It shows Walker to be a reasonable man and brings light to the fact that democratic governors will be doing the same exact thing.
It also relates the government's problems with pensions and benefits to those of GM so that even the dimmest of liberals should be able to understand why it needs to be dealt with.
When you libs finally realize that you could POSSIBLY be wrong, when you finally decide to look at what actually happened and the actual facts about what was done and why, when you finally go beyond what spin and propaganda you are fed and look beyond your hangups with the person doing the work, you will find it to be liberating. Thinking for yourself and coming to your own conclusions is the first step towards curing yourself.Hide replies
What it shows is that Walker is banking on the conservatives either not looking into the lies he tells, or not caring as long as they get what they want.
Let us overcome prime directives from national party interests that are driving Wisconsin backwards & let's put Wisconsin first!
Pondo, have you yourself studied Governor Walker's budget and what he has done in it? Or have you just listened to what he tells you? If you just listen to his words, he sounds very great because he is such a skilled and clever political con artist? He is really good at telling you one thing but actually doing the other. When I first listened to him, he sounded pretty good to me. Unfortunately, the more I studied what he does and how he does it the more I am aware of the con game that he is playing with us.
The only con going on is the recall effort.
You are yet another liberal spouting off about someone telling lies and offering no facts.
Tell me ONE lie he said. Specifically. One where he said something blatantly untrue and not just something libs disagree with. No spin, no "if's", no diversion - just one plain lie that Walker said.
See, liberals DO lie. They say that the recalls are about....I forget what they changed it to now - they've changed it so many times - but the recall is about unions being mad about losing their power and the greed of the public workers who have to pay a small share of their benefits and pensions. PERIOD.
That is no lie.
Walker is being recalled for stopping the union gravy train.
The taxpayers of WI thank him for that.
Ooh, the Goonionistas really don't like their lucratively bargained sweetheart deals referred to as the gravy train. They're entitled to a rich life in their eyes.
Funny, no matter how much we gave them though, they still complained and acted like they were slaves whom get no pity every time a contract negotiation took place.
Oh woe is me, who gets a pension for free, cheap if not free Cadillac healthcare, gobs of sick days, weeks of vacation, civil service protection, a good salary (typically more than the private sector counterpart), and who cannot be fired unless we're caught molesting a child or stabbing a co-worker to death (though chances are the union will still support them with a lawyer). Woe is right...
Well Rich K I am a state worker for now.... and from what I see the Unions Tried to work with Scooter, but He is the one who refused... and also tell me this... on two issues. 1. If the state is Soooooo broke how is it that Walker gave himself a 7% Pay Increase in his budget repair bill, And Everyone that he appointed to a job that someone else left ( with No experience in that job) get's paid at least $30,000 More than the person who left the job. 2. Explain to me why my Public counterpart working the same type of job (security) makes 4.8% More than what I make working for the state Hmmm seems to me the people on the right really need to look at actual fact's before trying to presuade anyone.
The recall is about public worker greed? Now THERE'S a lie!!!
This is very much so about WEA Trust, a wholly owned healthcare subsidiary of the WEAC Corporation (okay, not a corp but a UNION), using collusive bargaining to: 1) Mandate that school districts use ONLY the healthcare provider "WEA Trust", 2) Mandate that no comparison shopping for better, competitive rates from other providers be done, and 3) OVERCHARGE TAXPAYERS BY NEARLY 40% compared to what competitors offer for THE SAME EXACT PLAN.
This is very much so about state prison guards banking sick days and using them to scam taxpayers for overtime pay, inflating their salaries to TRIPLE their normal yearly income.
This is very much so about Teacher Emeritus programs, where newly retired teachers can teach a minimum number of days as a volunteer (10 days in Green Bay, ZERO days min. in Madison) every year, and after three years receive ONE YEAR'S PAY - effectively giving them 1/3 their leaving pay rate per year. This is on top of them collecting their full pension, receiving free healthcare, and even having the Union help them claim residence in Florida so they're not taxed as much on their payouts.
The goonions won't frame it that way though when the ads start rolling. They'll say "Walker failed at creating jobs (nonwithstanding our heel dragging, lawsuit filing, quorum denying antics that severely delayed any plans put forth by the governor, and further harming this state's business climate) and we want to hold him responsible." And then, the same people will stand up and defend Obama's dismal jobs record, one he even admits should bar him from a second term.
Why? Because who can defend the numerous scams that have been pulled on taxpayers, like the few examples above?
Remember, the core of a un"i"on is... what do "i" get?
One example of a Governor Walker lie? During his campaign he repeatedly said that he would veto any budget bill that contained non-fiscal policy changes in it. He claimed his budget repair bill was totally fiscal so that it had to be passed exactly as written. Suddenly late one afternoon he removed 137 out of the 144 pages (95%) in the original totally fiscal budget bill and passed it as a non-fiscal bill; thereby bypassing the lack of a quorum in the Senate. If you are an adherent of Governor Walker's three to five percent rule, you will see this as not a lie because five percent of the original bill was fiscal.
Your comments about WEA Trust contains hardly the slightest element of truth. Is that what you really believe or are you just making it up in the hope that someone will believe you?
You forget to mention that this was in response to the FleeBag 14 leaving the state, denying the state senate without a quorum for weeks, effectively stopping government in its tracks (at least for fiscal matters). So, the legislature made it a non-fiscal issue and used special provisions to pass it. By fleeing the state and denying the democratic process of representation, they forced the state legislature's hand. After battling it all out in court, the Democrats remain sore losers, as the tactics used to circumvent their circumventing were proven legal in court. The FleeBags were back to work within days and government began working again. Goonionistas went into phase two of their revolt, and so on...
My dog won't bite you, I swear. But if you really, really try to harm him, he will defend himself and bite you. Does that make him a maneater? No. Forcing Walker's hand into having to sign a stripped down bill to get the state running again isn't something you can't deny your share of the blame for. Your anger is better aimed at the Dems that refused to state their objections and offer amendments while the forming of this bill and passage of it were going on. Instead, they threw their fit.
Not gonna take your seat at the table? This family starts eating dinner anyway. We won't starve on your behalf.
WEA Trust scam:
Here's the Union's defense of this - notice how this began in September and absolutely nothing has happened as far as them "suing the messenger" Mark Belling.
This part's the best "The teachers union established the WEA Insurance Trust in 1970, according to its website." Sure, they set it up, but why would they want to profit from it? Is that the argument?

hey pondo - 27 out of 39 statements rated false by politifact, but with GOP spin they are not lies only false statements.
Twelve edits. Fascinating how Walker can read a script. Looks like a puppet doing what the master orders.Hide replies
If it looks like a Koch puppet and acts like a Koch puppet...
It must be one of his main political contributors!!!
Ah yes - interviewed by the wife of our famously neutral Clarence Thomas, Ginni, lets keep it in the family of course. Funny he didn't mention the Vermont Gov who sat next to him in congress and testified he balanced a debt twice as big as Wisc. by working with the unions, not destroying their rights. Funny he forgot also the people of Ohio overturning the same bill Kasech shoved thru against their wishes also (Sound familier). The only part he has right is this is historic how many republicans will be sent packing by Wisc voters this year. Go voters, keep working as you are and no amount of "its working" paid propaganda will change the outcome.
Conservatives, Walker has played a game of three card monte here but you refuse to see it. He didn't cut spending at all - he just took money out of the paychecks of teachers and let more richie richs keep more of their money. He's merely bankrupting our future, fiscally and educationally. How will the next generation solve future problems when they aren't educated well?
Governor Walker continues to use virtually the same rhetoric that he has used throughout his political life. Unfortunately, it is the rhetoric of a sociopath, a political con artist who uses just the slightest bit of truth in his comments in make them sound plausible to his supporters. He wants smaller government but makes it larger and more costly, like the $30,000 salary increases to each of his appointees in the DOA. He wants to make it work better and more efficiently by taking away civil service jobs and giving them to his cronies. He is against raising taxes, but uses the so-called double digit tax increases of Governor Doyle to help fund his budget. Governor Doyle had raised the state tax rate of our highest incomed people from 6.75% to 7.75%. Most Wisconsinites pay a 6.5% rate. There is a huge gap between his claims and his deeds. He wants all of us to read his lips and not what he does.Hide replies
no, its much more simple than that. his constituents are taxpayers. not public unions.
His constituents should be all the people of Wisconsin, but he has chosen to divide the state into friends and enemies. Public union members make up only 2% of the people of Wisconsin, so they can become convenient scapegoats for his policies. By blaming the 2% he can try to make his policies sound good to the two-thirds of public sector workers who are not union members.
When he stops Unions from laying off teachers and public workers to save the protected few, when he finds and eliminates abuses of taxpayer money by said unions, when he allows people to choose to be in a union or not, when he allows policies where the good and hard-working are rewarded and not the bad, when he refuses to keep kicking the debt can down the road so someone else's kids pay for what we have today, he IS working for the best interests of everyone.
I'm sorry, but sick day stacking, teacher emeritus programs, Lemon Dances, pension scamming, double dipping, etc is not the best for everyone in the state. For a select few, yes. And they definitely are making their voices heard. My spoiled niece acts the same way when she has to go to bed early.
Look at the state's budget and see how he is using $59 billion in income to fund a budget that calls for expenses of $66 billion. He is creating a $7 billion deficit these two years alone by borrowing in such a way that the payments and interest will be due after he is no longer the governor. Isn't that kicking the debt down the road?
Your other comments show that you have no knowledge about the things you are mentioning. You have heard such things and therefore if one person does something that you don't like you pretend that everyone does the same thing. For example, in our school district we could accumulate 130 days of sick leave. When a teacher retired, those days simply disappeared.
Have you heard of Pattern Bargaining? I bet your union rep has.
It's where district A this year "bargains" for a 3% raise, district B "bargains" for unused sick leave payouts, district C "bargains" for benefits to be extended to family members after death, and district D "bargains" for little blue pills.
Then, next time contract renewal is upon them, district A "bargains" for unused sick leave payouts, district B "bargains" for benefits to be extended to family members after death, district C "bargains" for little blue pills, and district D gets that 3% raise.
I suppose it wasn't your turn to get that bennie yet. Did you have a teacher emeritus program by chance? And why pay you twice to be at work anyway? Use it or lose it dominates the private sector. Being sick isn't a privilege or right.
Add to that the 3, 6, up to 18 months or more of contract negotiations where Public Unions cry about not having a contract (though they by default continue with the expired contract's lucrative terms until a new one is reached), they claim that giving back two and taking ten more is a compromise or sacrifice, where they by definition of their whole purpose never leave the table with less then they started with, where the concern is more on teacher comfort than classroom results, and finally - when it's all said and done - receive BACK PAY for all that time they spent dragging their heels through the negotiating process. That can turn out to be a pretty considerable check, so more power to the union holding their ground, right? It pays.
Sorry to read that you are so unknowledgeable about the bargaining process between public unions and school boards. Your description is pathetic although you try to make it sound so intelligent. Unfortunately, many well-meaning people will believe you just because you make it sound so plausible. Have you ever been involved in the actual bargaining?
By the way, Pattern Bargaining sounds interesting. Can you give me an example of where it has been done?
Recall Walker, so we can raise your taxes and give control of local budgets back to public unions!Hide replies
Public unions have never controlled local budgets. That is a typical Republican myth.
Correct CDW. It has always been the School/County/City Boards and such that control the budgets, whom are mostly made up of former and current union members, former and current union officials, spouses and family of union members, and a few business owners and regular joes, wherever they sneak in (those pesky devils).
So yes, it's true that Public Unions don't control local budgets, but their troops rarely need to be "told what to do". Wink wink. Just look at your local school board rep - what was/is their profession? Does your school board rep work in another district as a teacher or administrator? Is the board president or chairperson affiliated with da union? Many cases, yes. But the union does not directly control the local budget.
It is also true that Social Security wasn't a ponzi scheme when it was first implemented. I don't think the term existed then to be quite honest.
It's ok for Walker to outsource the WI taxpayers money to others.When will Walker talk to the people of WI? He's always talking out of state.wake up!!! He tells you public unions and you bite.
He's spreading the good word on having cajones, standing up to P.U. special interests, and fighting for fiscal sanity.
And what outsourcing are you referring to? The $59 Million we owed Minnesota that Jim Doyle didn't pay?
I'm sure that you really believe that all the school board members are public union members. That is true, however, of no school board of which I know. I suppose that it could be possible, but I don't know any school district that would vote that way. Remember that only 2 out of every 100 people in a given school district are public union members. Can you give me an example of where all the school board members are members of public unions?
One problem I have with Walker not talking directly to the people of Wisconsin about the state of Wisconsin. Ads do not count, he spends more time explaining what is going on to out of state people than the citizens of Wisconsin. The more you tell a lie, more it becomes the truth.Hide replies
Governor Walker is afraid to speak in Wisconsin, because he knows that he is not telling the truth. The people of Wisconsin, generally, are smart enough to recognize the difference between the truth and lies.
Every time he tries to even speak in a public forum, Goonionistas and zombies show up to ruin the event.
1/16/12 MLK Day Proclamation: Goonionista interference
12/2/11 Christmas Tree Lighting: Goonionista interference
6/8/11 Special Olympics Ceremony: Goonionista interference
11/3/11 Chicago Union League Club speech: Goonionista interference
7/13/11 Gateway Technical College: Goonionista interference
10/26/11 West Des Moines, Iowa speech: Goonionista interference
8/26/11 Reading Dr Seuss to Messmer Prep: Goonionista interference
6/9/11 Wisconsin Real Estate Conference: Goonionista interference
From a " The Progressive" article by Rebecca Kemble:
"Throughout 2011 Walker has appeared all around the state, and everywhere he goes legions of protesters are there to greet him: at the State Fair; the opening of a highway visitors' center; a ceremony at the oldest technical college in the nation; on one lake for the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of a state park, and another one for the opening of fishing season; when visiting businesses in Washburn, Waupaca, Fort Atkinson, and Rhinelander; and during photo ops at schools in Delavan and Milwaukee. "
Maybe you'll hear him better once we stop throwing silly little tantrums and actually listen to what he's got to say??
Goonionista? I'd say you're the one throwing the silly little tantrum
Sorry. Call 'em as I see 'em.
And if you want to call this a tantrum, at least mine doesn't cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Or require the backing of SEIU thugs from out of state.
No previous governor has been so reluctant to meet with people. He has enough bodyguards to hold off an army. Is he so afraid, because he recognizes the terrible way that he has treated the public sector including his own supporters in state government?
Well, given the hubbub that follows him wherever he goes, wouldn't you rather concentrate on doing something productive than give another tool a forum to ironically stop someone from speaking just to yell "shame"?
Are you trying to use the word goonionista as a truthful description of a group of people? I tend to disregard the comments of people who are so disrespectful of other people. Use of a word like that tells me that you have no knowledge about what you are saying.
So you disregard derogatory terms like "T.Bagger" and refuse to use them yourself? I think Goonionista sums it up.
Goon union sandinista
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only sources that I use are what people actually say and what they do. I go to the biennial budget itself, not to what people on either side of the aisle say, You wouldn't understand that because you don't base your statements on actual truths, only upon hypothetical assumptions.

This comforter set is even more beautiful than the photos. The brown flowers actually appear to be embroidered. Overall, the fabric looks and feels like silk, making this a smart, economical, purchase where one gets the look of elegant silk without paying the price for silk. The blue has a soft green tint--not sky blue but more like a pale robin's egg blue/green.
This comforter is really pretty. It is hard to find a king size that is wide enough or long enough for the oversized mattresses. This one is.
I was so happy to see that it is big enough for my king size bed. I have a thick matress so I needed an oversized comforter and this one is perfect. It is a very pretty fabric and looks embroidered. I had to feel of it to see for sure. It is really fluffy also. I think you will enjoy it as much I am.
While the comforter is pretty, it is not as nice as depicted in the picture. Also, it is a king size comforter, however it barely hangs over the sides of the bed. It needs to be quite a bit larger. I kept it because I needed everything in place for a large function at my home. So I made do with it.
I was shopping for a extra large comforter for my king size bed. I thought I found the perfect one so I ordered this. From all the reviews I was hopeful it would be slightly larger than stated (110x96). NOT TRUE - very cleary marked on the package and label 108x94. So if your looking for a really large comforter to cover a king bed with a very thick pillow top - this won't work. My mattress is 17" thick on the sides (plus has a foam topper I ordered from Overstock that I love). Sorry - didn't work for me at all. Sent it back same day as received. As far as the quality - it was ok...
I was looking for a particular color and this was perfect! Great quality and great price!
The material is very thick, very good quality. In the right lighting the blue has a greenish tint to it. It is very nice and I love the color.
It was just the color I expected - a very pretty shade of teal with chocolate swirls. The best part is that I disregarded the instructions and washed it in my washing machine, and it came out with nice, uniform padding still. No lumpy padding!
Beautiful comforter set. Loved the colors and sheen of material. Needed a little ironing but looks fabulous. Very happy with price, and quality.
Was very happy with color and size. We have a very deep mattress and this covers it perfectly. My only disappointment was that it isn't quilted.

Proposed code changes would strengthen bike parking rules
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on June 2nd, 2009 at 10:56 am
Condominiums in NW Portland.
(Photo: Dan Liu)
The City of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability is working on a package of eco-friendly building code changes that, if passed, would include an improvement to bike parking at apartments and condominiums.
The package of new code regulations -- which also removes barriers to installing water-harvesting rain barrels, wind turbines, solar panels, and more -- are part of the City's Regulatory Improvement Workplan.
Currently, "multi-unit residential buildings" have a zoning code exemption that allows them to opt out of providing secure, long-term bike parking. This means residents and visitors have to find parking inside the units, on balconies, or near the building in potentially unsecure locations.
If the proposed code changes go through -- City Council is scheduled to vote on them in early September -- residential complexes would be subject to the same rules that currently apply to commercial office buildings. That is, they would be required to provide racks or lockers either on site or within 300 feet, with at least 50% of them covered and secured (a locked, highly visible area, video monitored, etc...).
According to the draft of code changes, if the parking requirement is fulfilled with in-unit spaces, the rack/locker requirement is designed to give "some assurance that the dwelling unit is designed with the placement and dimensions of the bike parking in mind."
The proposed code changes would apply to new buildings and renovations that are extensive enough to meet a certain financial threshold.
The City of Portland is pushing these bike-friendly code changes as yet another way to meet their stated goal of a 20% "Target Commute Mode Share" for bicycles by 2030.

When I started this blog, I had one goal: Take 21 days and form a habit out of running. 3,285 days later, I'm still running.
About Me
- Jess
- My real life is a lot like THS (True Hollywood Story) except there's no fame, fortune, or drug addiction. Instead, I'm happily married, have two children, and a dog who's prone to barfing at 3 am. I love them all, but I also have to run away from them every day. I always run back, though.

The Common Crap
Is there a known cure for this?
***Edit: The cure for the above ailment appears to be suckin' it up and gettin' out there for a run whether I want to or not. I did a 3 miler (29:41), and once I was out there, I was glad I "womaned up" and determined to do it. Now I can go lay on the couch and not feel guilty. Score!***

Beer and lots of it :-)
Don't sweat it, you HAVE been working hard to get everything done so why not take a day? ;-)
- 17:29
- J~Mom said...
The only way to beat it is to put your running shoes on and tell yourself that if it doesn't feel good when you get going that you can stop. Once you are out and going it feels good. Or drink beer like Marcy said. ;>)
- 17:32
- Christie said...
Yes. The cure is spring time and daylight savings time. These dark, cold days are killing my motivation.

Way to go, Jess ! If that happen again, just say to yourself "I am going out for run just for a mile or 10 minutes." After you do a mile, it will be easier to say "Hey, lets do another couple more" .
