[suggestion]Implement SmartCast keys:
uhm... this is weird... maybe try F6, Bard UI options, System, Reset... and restart HoN...
or do you have any other mods installed?there might be an incompatibility...
not sure what this is...
"i tried deleting the file but then i cant bring up game list or create a game"
what? how that... you didn't delete resources0, did you? my mod is resources666 and 667 if you have that addition... but NEVER delete resources0
i just finished trying resetting everthing no luck

have u tried expanding (the up arrow icon) the Health Bar and Mana bar down in the bottom? (it worked for me, it seems like when u have the mini picture displayed, everything is fine)
i've had that problem before back then, but i didn't have it anymore after updating my graphics driver.
can we have 048 - Large Clan Stutter Fix by Slime73 on the next installment
i love your package
Might I ask what exactly the problem was with those mods and how u fixed it? (im using them seperately via mod manager)-fixed encyclopedia working with lasthit assist and rightclick deny
hey, add banlist ( http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...hlight=banlist )
add autoconcede ( http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...ad.php?t=73522 )
trade 026* Hero Health & Mana Percentages for ( http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...ad.php?t=48839 )
perfect combo
BlacKangek can you add these 2 mods to this pack Last hit Assist and Right Click Deny or tell me how to add them?
[suggestion]Implement SmartCast keys:
one of those mods changes the stringtable file "interface_en.str" and uses the wrong "encoding" for the encyclopedia mod, and changes the whole "codec" (or what you call that) for the file, and encyclopedia won't find anything.... you could change the mod.xml for that mod to use the same encoding like the encyclopedia mod....
example from the encyclopedia mod itself:
I'm not entirely sure about that. It MAY do that, but it shouldn't be much anyway... i heard the spell channeling mod did that, but that should be fixed for some time now... not sure about the others, but I don't think it should be a problem... if your rig can handle normal HoN, it should handle that mod too, afaik...Code:<editfile name="stringtables/interface_en.str" encoding="ucs-2"> <seek position="end" /> <insert position="after" source="interface_en.str.append" encoding="ucs-2" /> </editfile>
without that mod everything's fine? maybe you have other mods with compatibility issues?
not sure what that is, doubt it's the mod though...
thanks a lot blackAngel88 !!! best mod ever !! love the interface and the combo is just awesome !!
thanks again
Hi blackangel, i suggest to add these mods in the next update:
- Single Draft Lister
- Banlist Assist
- Encyclopedia
update it
Thx in advance. Keep up the good work
I added Banlist and changed *026(hp/mp Percentages) for a more complete
next up add (auto concede / encyclopedia update / Runa timer )
tkz for combo blackangel

I want to create a one-question survey (actually multiple surveys over time) and embed a module with the survey question in our web app. Analysis of the results would take place online through the survey software.
Any ideas?
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm not sure about mobile support but I've had good experiences and heard great things about Wufoo. | |||
PollDaddy say you can embed your poll in Facebook, Wordpress, MySpace, Ning, Email and Javascript. I suppose the option you want is Javascript. | |||
It might be worth taking a look at KISSinsights, by the same guys who produced KISSmetrics and Survey.io | |||||
Rather than looking for a survey app with embedding support, you could embed a survey hosted by any survey webapp (such as PollDaddy or SurveyMonkey) in an iframe? | |||||
Google Forms is easy to use, embeddable and linked to your Google account. It also provides basic analysis and is excellent for collaboration. | |||||
I second Google Forms. Really easy to use, and I have seen it used for business and casual purposes | |||
JotForm would be a great solution for this since the free version does not add "Report Abuse" and "Powered by" links on the forms unlike similar solutions posted on this thread. So, it would look more professional. You can also redirect users to a page on your site after the form submission. So, it can work seamlessly within your web application. If you have any questions about JotForm, please let me know. | |||||
Shameless self-promotion: SurveyGizmo supports embedding as iframe and Javascript, passing of extra variables through the url, and querying responses and survey data through the API. | |||
www.LagunaSurvey.com is one solution. You can embed a module with the survey question in a frame or web app or use a link. And its free for basic use (with no annoying spam, subscription or commercial etc). | |||
You can also try Rational Survey. It has plenty of features and integrates well with other applications. They even have a tutorial to follow. Rational Survey - Survey Embed Tutorial | |||
Zoho Creator, which competes with Google Docs, can also meet your requirements | |||
Obsurvey is one, and it's free. You can embed the survey directly in your website see example here The benefits/features of Obsurvey are:
| ||||
You can try Impressity.com. It treats iframe embedding really well: meaning the embedding is seamless without any ugly scroll bars, so the survey really looks like part of the web page; and you can adjust the size of your embedded survey easily. Details are here. Disclaimer: I know people working for the company. | ||||

-- holy war over the health care law the little sisters of the poor reportedly may be bolting out of the United States because of that law.
The group of nuns say the new laws forcing them to provide insurance would contraceptive practices they opposed.
If they don't get an exemption they're gonna have to pony up big finds that they simply can't afford.
Is it's no big deal or proof the health care law is a big job threat.
Hi everybody I'm David has been well uniforms on fox let's go and focus with.
Steve Forbes Rick -- Elizabeth MacDonald Michael -- and Victoria Barret had rich -- guard Steve what do you think.
Well of course this is an example of what happens jobs are going to be destroyed him if they don't go oversees health care costs are going up obamacare is increasing demand but not increasing supply insurers have to take all commerce which means -- get sick you get the insurance and that's gonna put a strain on -- you have these mandates consumers may not want them -- the politicians say you must have them so insurance costs are going up and we the people are going to be.
Losers and -- it that the latest is there's a group called the hobby lobby and and they face a fine of one point five million dollars.
If they don't do what the government is telling they have to do vis a -- the health care law.
Yeah let's let's make a distinction here for -- -- second I was just correct to one point three million dollars a day.
That is the daily fine that they're gonna have to pay a lot of people can't -- that.
Well let's let's make an important distinction and by the way we are not above on the show from time to time placing dinner -- On certain things so my dinner party is open for anybody who things that the -- of the organization are not going to get an exemption of course they're gonna be exempted.
But what I think is really important and notable here.
They have been giving health -- to their employees over at that charity for years so their objection is not to the obligation to give.
Health care to employees it's a religious problem and it's gonna be dealt with -- -- That the corporation this in this country would take a lesson from those people and understand the importance of getting health care to their employees instead of trying to avoid the law by cutting out.
Well -- -- the bottom line is is that the hobby lobby just received notice from a court this week.
That in fact they are not going to be able to get an exemption that they do face a one point three million dollar fine.
Every day that they don't adhere to these practices that they have more.
Yeah that's really bad you know what that.
But this is the high costs of affordable -- her.
You know it despite the president says that the private sector is doing fine and whether or not the nuns and on themselves are saying they're gonna have to possibly cut.
Of the -- thing -- -- to the point is is that.
Health -- is quickly turning into the favor factory that the tax code is the tax code has been driving businesses -- OC is no one's been reading at three point seven million words and attacks that same with obamacare no -- in congress really read the whole thing through.
Energy you're seeing job hits and jobs layoffs and energy.
Even -- health care industry the medical device industry the restaurant industry.
Because businesses -- sentence of look this thing is so unwieldy there are so many bad things pop -- -- -- that we don't know what's coming next we're gonna have to protect the bottom line and make sure we can preserve the jobs that we can.
And -- in the bottom line is whether there are for profit or nonprofit a lot of companies simply can't afford to keep up with what this health care law forces them to do.
Sure and one ones consultants survey showed that 60% of companies will just pass the costs along to there.
Employees so all of a -- likely to see higher cost of health care you know which was not what the Affordable Care Act sort of promised from the onset but.
Rick got to bring coming up with -- you mention that these nuns -- course get an exception.
An exemption I don't doubt that but what's the difference between these nuns who served you know -- lots of nine Catholic people there -- lots of non Catholics who who work for them.
What's the difference between them -- a business owner who is you know strongly Catholic but employees non Catholics -- serves on Catholics and doesn't.
Want to you know offer contraceptives to their employees -- -- Since there's a huge difference one is a religious organization.
One is selling airplanes I presume model airplanes in their in their retail stores come on.
That's that incredibly kind of hiring workers to them not just the religious organs -- yeah waiting here's a company is like.
Even the automotive industry the Dana holdings which is an auto motive parts manufacturer.
They're saying they're going to lay off the problem is when you have meant a tax and when you have company is pulling back on insurance.
Because of obamacare that -- that's a double whammy for the middle class they got -- either on insurance and then it may have to pay the tab and that they don't get.
I don't know the bottom why -- this hobby lobby thing -- yes it's a private company but at the same time they really care about their beliefs they.
Totally disagree.
With what the health care law is forcing them to cover and that's why they would -- may go out of business because they if they have to pay these finds it's gonna hurt them.
Their bottom line terribly.
David obamacare was never designed to save money.
We know that because it needed a huge tax increase in Florida -- funded obamacare was designed as a path -- socialized medicine.
And all that destruction that socialized medicine brings with -- -- why unions this group.
Company's employees all -- trying to opt out of it.
-- and it's a lousy piece of policy most Americans are against it.
And it's gonna move us toward socialized medicine which has been proven everywhere to be terrible I think all this debating about the tiny minutia misses the larger point.
Which is socialized medicine takes away our liberty and hands it to the government that's what obamacare is about the rich -- bricks and -- good friend Toby Cosgrove was the head of the Cleveland clinic this week was saying in the Wall Street Journal that in fact.
Probably what this is all gonna lead to is a single Payer rule and that is socialized medicine.
That so I don't doubters go ahead rich.
I oh yeah I don't doubt that for a minute.
And what's obamacare is doing right now is really paralyzing.
Growth among small businesses.
You're gonna see all kinds of business finding out magically that.
49 employees rather than fifty employees is the number full time people they want the rest worked one.
Large companies are gonna make -- that the requirement of working at a large company very onerous.
In terms of their monitoring all of your health care so it's not just going to be.
Whether you smoke or not it's going to be your wage it's going to be your glucose it's going to be your blood pressure.
You know this is going to be the cost.
Working at a large company as they try to drive down their insurance obligate.
Those sea bottom line is it's gonna cost jobs of course it's gonna cost jobs health care is a cost of employing somebody.
And one reason why cash wages haven't gone up in -- recent years in real terms the precisely because the explosion health care costs this is gonna make it worse give us the worst of both worlds more cost.
And less health -- like the Soviet Union the food that's free but you couldn't get any.
-- -- What -- have always chaos with the state exchanges and what happened in the business level.
You know Washington DC stepping in with fixes to fix the chaos and that means more federal intervention into the health care industry and we have.
Since you to -- with all this Christmas stuff behind -- couldn't -- the government faces are both -- -- anyway.

eBay's next target: The under-18 crowd
eBay has historically been a place for adults to buy and sell goods. But in the coming months, kids might make their way to the service.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal in an interview published today, eBay's president of global marketplaces, Devin Wenig, said his company is currently working on plans to allow kids under 18 years old to establish accounts and start participating in auctions.
Aware of the obvious privacy and parental implications, Wenig told the Journal that the accounts would be opened only with parental authorization. Wenig said eBay would not allow "a 15-year-old unfettered … Read more

General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of April 6, 2009
At Mercy, Nikolas heard an anesthetized Rebecca say, "Nikolas ... can never find out." "Find out what?" Nik asked. Rebecca mumbled incoherently. In the hall, Epiphany comforted a nervous Nik. She explained to him the entire biopsy procedure and recounted her own personal experience. After the procedure, Nik
told Rebecca that she came through with flying colors. Now, they just had to await the results. "You're so kind," she smiled. "I don't know how I'll repay you." Nikolas brought up what Rebecca mumbled, but then he dropped the matter. Nik escorted Rebecca back to her room at Kelly's. He also said he'd come back to see her tomorrow and take her for a drive.
Sonny had sex with Claudia, then apologized for his recent behavior. Sonny thanked Claudia for helping make him feel better. "I'm glad," Claudia replied. After Sonny left the room, she immediately pulled out a pregnancy test and read the instructions.
On the docks, Patrick glanced down in the water. "Robin!" he screamed. Patrick took off his jacket, jumped in, pulled his wife out of the water and performed CPR. Robin regained consciousness and she asked where Emma was. Patrick called for an ambulance.
At the warehouse, Jason told Carly that Sonny suspected that Ian Devlin wasn't acting alone when Michael was shot. Jason vowed to find out who else was responsible and make them pay. Carly wondered why they'd be discussing this a whole year after the fact. Then, she pointed out that revenge won't solve anything. Carly told Jason to mention to Sonny about re-opening the coffee warehouse. After Carly left, Jason found Ric wandering around the empty facility and pointed a gun to his neck. "Don't move," Jason uttered. Ric said he was there to honor his fallen nephew on the anniversary of his shooting. Jason blasted Ric, stating that if he had anything to do with Michael's shooting, he'd kill him with his bare hands.
In Mercy's lobby, Maxie ran into Matt and the two traded barbs. Matt then asked Maxie out. Just then, Robin was rushed into the hospital. Patrick told them that Robin fell off the pier. Matt wondered aloud if it was a suicide attempt and Maxie slapped him. Maxie said that postpartum or no postpartum, Robin would never try to kill herself. Later, she began to wonder if what he said could be true.
Sonny called Kristina to tell he that he was proud of how well she's doing in school. Sonny noted that he hadn't seen his daughter for a couple of months. After venting about Michael's dilemma, Sonny stated that he loves his kids but he should have never had them. Carly burst in and confronted Claudia about visiting Michael. Claudia told Sonny that she was just trying to express her
concern and left the room. Sonny and Carly discussed whether or not they should try the risky experimental procedure on Michael. After some debate, they agreed to wait. Sonny then vowed to take down whoever else was responsible, as Claudia eavesdropped from the next room.
Once safely in bed, Robin thanked Patrick for saving her life. "Why were you there?" Patrick asked. He then questioned whether her fall was an accident. Robin scoffed at the notion. She stated that she's dealing with her postpartum and she merely slipped and fell. Patrick said the reason he stopped to begin with was that he found her ripped up prescription for anti-depressants. She assured Patrick that she didn't try and kill herself. Maxie popped in to visit
her cousin. Patrick decided to give the girls some privacy and left. Robin told Maxie she would never try to end her life. Maxie said she believed Robin. Meanwhile, Matt stressed to Patrick how important it is that Robin attend therapy and take her meds as directed.
Later, Maxie informed Jason about Robin's accident. Jason refused to believe that Robin would attempt to kill herself.
Patrick returned to Robin's room with a new prescription and insisted she take her meds. "What happened on that pier was an accident," Robin huffed. "I am terrified," Patrick confessed. "I want you to be healthy." Robin took a pill.
Tracy burst into The Haunted Star and complained that profits were down. She then grabbed Ethan's wallet to see if he'd been skimming cash. Ethan grabbed it back and nearly lost his cool, then went back to his charming self. Just then, Lucky entered, demanding to see Ethan's visa. "How did a man like Luke
end up with a son like you?" Ethan wondered aloud. He then accused Lucky of hiding behind his badge. Ethan's papers were all in order so Lucky left. Tracy then gave Ethan the rest of the day off so she could count the till. After Ethan left, Tracy made a call and said, "Get down to the casino, now!" Edward showed up and Tracy questioned him about his illegitimate kids. She suspected that Ethan might be Luke's son and admitted that she saw Ethan's
old photo of Luke and Robert when she grabbed his wallet earlier.
At the penthouse, Maxie asked Jason to convince Robin that therapy was a good idea. Jason asserted that he was not the right person for this job. Maxie implored Jason to intervene with Robin, as he's one of the few people she'd actually listen to.
At Mercy, Robin was packing to go home. Patrick brought Robin's shrink, Dr. Brown, with him. Robin was not happy and accused him of ambushing her. Patrick told Robin if there was nothing wrong with her, then prove it and talk to the doctor. She reluctantly agreed. "Why were you on that pier?" Dr. Brown asked. Robin explained it was just an accident. She then lied about taking her meds and suggested that maybe Patrick was the one who needs
Jax brought in a European specialist, Dr. Hensen, to evaluate Michael's condition. Carly mentioned Michael's hand movement but Dr. Hensen stated that she agreed with the doctors, that it was most likely an involuntary movement. The doctor relayed that she had a patient who'd emerged from a coma after 10 years and later died due to atrophy. Dr. Hensen admitted that her experimental procedure was not for everyone and they needed to give it some serious thought. Once alone, Carly feared Michael was not getting any better. "We need to wake him up as soon as possible." Later, Carly sat down at Michael's bedside and asked him what she should do. She then told Michael to hang in there and fight.
At Crimson, Matt showed up to see Maxie but she wasn't there. He decided to wait. Shortly after, Maxie arrived, surprised to see Matt there. Just then, Kate came out of her office and told Maxie that she and Johnny had another club opening to attend. When Johnny wasn't available by phone, Lulu volunteered Matt to take her, much to Maxie's chagrin. Just then, Ethan arrived. Lulu suggested she and Ethan attend the opening. Kate ordered Maxie to go with Matt, and Lulu could go out on her date with Ethan. An angry
Maxie and an amused Matt got onto the elevator, while Ethan returned the money he'd won from Lulu last week. He was thrilled to learn they'd be going out on a date. When Lulu balked, Ethan threatened to expose her scheming with Maxie to Kate.
Jason ran into Robin on the docks. Robin explained what happened. "I believe you," Jason assured. Robin then told Jason about her meeting with the little girl named Emma. Jason asked if she imagined it. "She's everything I'm afraid of," Robin replied. Robin stated again that she's fearful she shouldn't be a mom. "I'm out of control, which is not a good thing for a control freak like me," Robin sighed. Jason advised her to continue therapy and take her meds.
At Mercy, Elizabeth tried to provide Patrick with some comfort, to no avail. Patrick was fearful that Robin might not escape her postpartum. Liz stated that Patrick needs to come clean about seeing her with that guy in Rochester because it was eating him up inside. Patrick lamented that he just wants his happy family back.
Back at Metro Court, Jax confided the Michael dilemma to Olivia. Jax expressed guilt at not having done something about Jerry after the Metro Court hostage crisis, stating Michael would still be with them if he had. Later, Carly returned and answered Jax's phone — and was surprised to hear Jerry's voice on the other end of the line.
Rebecca informed Nikolas that Monica called and asked to see her. Later, Emily went to the Q mansion, where Monica sat her down and shared her story of living with breast cancer. Monica then spoke of how she met Paige and Emily, and let Rebecca know that she'd be there for her if she needed her. "Don't worry, okay?" Monica asked. Rebecca was touched by Monica's concern.
At Sonny's house, Claudia caught Sonny and Olivia sharing a laugh and demanded to know what was going on. Sonny told Claudia to calm down. Olivia was merely straightening a picture on the wall. They were laughing because it reminded them of an incident that happened when they were back in high school and got in trouble with one of the nuns. Jealous Claudia left in a huff. "You're in trouble," Olivia whispered. "What else is new?" Sonny
After Jax caught Carly speaking to Jerry on the phone, he grabbed it away from her and told his brother that no one cared what he had to say. "Don't call here again," Jax shouted into the phone before hanging up. Jax and Carly agreed not to let Jerry back into their lives.
Ethan and Lulu returned to The Haunted Star. Tracy forbid the two of them to go out on a date. Lulu said they were not on a date. After, Edward and Tracy discussed the possible scenarios regarding whether or not Ethan could be Luke's son. Edward left and Tracy ordered Ethan to get back to work. Lulu insisted to her stepmother that they were not on a date. Tracy mentioned to Lulu that she believes Ethan has an agenda. Lulu thought Tracy was reading too much into the stranger's past.
Patrick was not pleased to see Robin return to work so soon after her fall into the harbor. Robin sniped at him and Elizabeth. Liz told Robin that illness or not, she needs to step up and reclaim her life. Later, Patrick apologized to Liz for Robin's behavior. Elizabeth was supportive and advised him to come clean about seeing her with the guy in Rochester.
At Mercy, Claudia barged in and demanded an appointment with Kelly. She wanted to know how soon she'd have to wait after sex to find out she was pregnant. Claudia then went to Metro Court and ordered Olivia to stay away from Sonny. Olivia wasn't having any of Claudia's threats. Olivia told Claudia that she'd be surprised to learn what Liv knows about Claudia. She then told Claudia to, "Find a nice dark corner so you can get on your knees and pray." Unnerved, Claudia left. She returned to Sonny's house and began
to seduce him yet again. After sex, Sonny went out. Claudia put her legs up and read her pregnancy book. Just then, Sonny returned to get his wallet and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
Robin met with Kelly in the park and they shared some girl talk about the stories that were circulating about Robin's behavior. "Maybe it's time to get better," Kelly suggested. "Tell me where to start," Robin asked. Robin then confessed her aversion to taking anti-depressants and her fear that she may be losing Patrick. Kelly advised Robin to just focus on herself first so she can be whole later for her husband and daughter. Robin went home to talk to Patrick. Mercedes informed Robin that Patrick took Emma to the park. In the park, Patrick sat on a bench holding Emma and vowed to always be there for her. Just then, Liz showed up with the boys. "Sorry we're late," she smiled. As the gang played, Robin showed up and saw them all together. She took off without saying a word.
Carly went to see Sonny and nearly fainted. He warned her about taking care of herself.
Edward returned home and was delighted to find Rebecca at the mansion. He invited her to come and live with them again. As Edward pressured her for an answer, Nikolas showed up in time to rescue her. Nik claimed they were supposed to go horseback riding but he took her to The Haunted Star instead. Lulu was concerned that her brother was becoming obsessed with Rebecca.
Olivia asked Jax if he made a copy of the DVD. He said he didn't. Olivia told him about her run-in with Claudia and brought up the fact that somebody needs to tell Sonny the truth. Jax refused, citing that the revelation of Jerry's involvement would negatively impact his marriage to Carly. Just then, Carly walked in. Olivia left and Carly and Jax discussed Michael. Then, Jax had to keep an appointment. Once alone, Carly fainted again.
At The Haunted Star, Nikolas tried to assure Lulu that he enjoys Rebecca's company, and not just because she reminds him of Emily. Meanwhile, Tracy called Spinelli and asked him to dig up information on Ethan. Lulu left the casino to go back to work, while Ethan asked Tracy why she didn't like him hanging around Lulu. Tracy declined to give an answer. Rebecca did better than Nikolas at blackjack. Then, she and Tracy exchanged words. Tracy accused Rebecca of having an agenda. Nikolas refused to listen to Tracy's sniping and he and Rebecca left. Ethan asked Tracy why she chased them off and called her "too suspicious." Tracy then asked Ethan why he'd be interested in a girl like Lulu. "Why wouldn't I?" he smiled back.
Matt and Maxie entered Crimson bickering. She called Matt on his behavior at the latest opening; he stated that he enjoyed himself. Just then, Kate entered and congratulated the pair on a job well done. Maxie called Matt a "social leper," but Kate stated that she got great reports about the two of them. Kate wanted them to do another appearance, and Matt was shocked to learn that Johnny was getting paid to appear with Maxie in public. Matt told Maxie that he'd rescind taking the escort job — if she went on a date with
him. Maxie reluctantly agreed and blamed Lulu for saddling her with Matt in the first place.
Sonny walked in on Claudia with her legs in the air. She swore she was just doing yoga. "You're not the yoga type," Sonny sniffed. Claudia then did a number of acrobatic poses for him to prove her point.
At the penthouse, Spinelli burst in on Jason, Sam and Bernie and said that he has the answer to their dilemma about the problems Sam was having getting her P.I. license. Spinelli uncovered that Bernie has a P.I. license and he could join them in their undertaking to open a private investigation
service. Bernie was reluctant to join forces with them, due to Spinelli's problems with the feds, but Jason said he'd do whatever he could to assist. Bernie reluctantly agreed. Spinelli was ecstatic and gave Bernie a big hug. Bernie thought it was a terrible idea but, "maybe it could be fun." Later, Bernie told Jason he had information that indicated Ian Devlin did not act alone in Michael's shooting.
A solemn Johnny flashed back to the argument he had with Lulu after Michael got shot, about how shallow the lives of mobsters were and how they damage anyone they care about just by being around them. He then went to see Claudia, who said her plan to get pregnant by Sonny was going well. Johnny chastised Claudia for bringing a child into their violent world just to save her own skin.
Ric visited Sonny and warned his brother not to trust Claudia. Ric said he wanted to discuss Michael's shooting. He told Sonny of his encounter with Jason at the warehouse and reiterated that he had nothing to do with the horrible accident. Later, Ric met with Claudia on the docks and again held the truth over her head so she'd get information against Sonny that he can use with the feds.
Spinelli visited Maxie at Crimson and shared the news that his P.I. agency was now a reality. Maxie complained about Lulu and stated that since Lulu's fighting dirty, she will, too. Meanwhile, Lulu met up with Johnny, who again refused to discuss the secret of Claudia's that he was keeping. Lulu grew increasingly frustrated. "Do you really have a secret with Claudia or are you just doing this because you want to be with Maxie?" Lulu demanded to know.
Back at her room at Kelly's, Rebecca invited Nikolas in. After she accused him of losing to her at blackjack on purpose, Rebecca and Nik fell into a deep kiss.
At Kelly's, Nikolas pulled back from his kiss with Rebecca, saying he didn't
want to take advantage of her. They went downstairs and bumped into Lucky,
who accused Nik of exploiting Rebecca's predicament. Lucky said that Nik was
warped for his behavior during Rebecca's biopsy and pointed out that she's
not Emily. He then told Nikolas that he hopes this obsession with Rebecca
doesn't blow up in his face. Lucky left and the two sat down to eat. Just
then, Rebecca's phone rang. It was the hospital with the biopsy results.
Rebecca held Nik's hand.
Lulu railed at Johnny and demanded to know if he was interested in Maxie.
Just then, Maxie entered and told Lulu to cool off. Johnny then confessed
that he and Maxie almost slept together the night of the blizzard — and he
hasn't stopped thinking about it since. Lulu was furious. She told off both
Johnny and Maxie. Then, Maxie chastised Johnny for trying to be something
he's not when he's with Lulu. Johnny agreed. He told Lulu he's tired of
trying to change. "I wish you figured that out before you told me you loved
me," Lulu huffed. "Me, too!" he shouted upon leaving. Lulu then called Maxie
a heartless slut. Maxie replied that she didn't want to hurt Lulu but she
and Johnny were not a match. She added that he stayed with her out of
loyalty after her breakdown last year.
At Metro Court, Carly had another dizzy spell. "What's wrong with me?" she
asked aloud. Olivia speculated that Carly might be pregnant. Carly relayed
the story of her last miscarriage and stated it's unlikely she could
conceive again. Later, Carly considered the idea of being pregnant and
smiled. She then called Kelly to make an appointment.
When Jason mentioned to Sonny that he suspected Ian didn't act alone in
Michael's shooting, Sonny got angry and said whoever it was would pay. Jason
informed Sonny that someone was siphoning money from Ian's bank accounts. An
eavesdropping Claudia entered and asked what the guys were talking about.
Sonny ushered Claudia out, then asked Jason who he thinks is after Ian's
money. Jason wondered if it could be Ric and explained his reasoning. Sonny
called Ric and asked him to come over.
Tracy met with Spinelli and was angry that he couldn't come up with anything
on Ethan. Tracy barked that The Jackal had no right calling himself a
private investigator. Spinelli said he'd pursue the matter further. "I want
to know everything about Ethan Lovett," she demanded. "Why not just ask me?"
said Ethan, who stumbled onto the scene. Spinelli tried to cover but Ethan
stated that his behavior indicates he's lying. Tracy then told Ethan that
she'll find out what his agenda is, no matter what.
Claudia met with Johnny on the docks and told him it's time to re-join the
organization. Johnny was still angry about Claudia's plan to get pregnant.
She pointed out that Johnny even said it was only inevitable that Sonny
would find out about her involvement in Michael's shooting. Johnny scoffed
that Sonny would probably kill him anyway but Claudia said not if she's
carrying his child. Claudia left and Maxie came upon Johnny. Maxie told
Johnny that she knows he still loves Lulu and broke up with her for her own
good. She told Johnny that if he wants to break up with Lulu, that's fine,
just doesn't use her as an excuse. Maxie was worried that Lulu would
sabotage her relationship with Spinelli. Johnny told Maxie she'd better
leave or he'll kiss her, and kiss her he did. Maxie kissed back. Just then,
Spinelli walked by and saw them making out on the dock. He was crushed.
Lulu bawled on the couch when Tracy came over to discuss Ethan. Tracy was
thrilled to hear Lulu and Johnny broke up and ordered Lulu to stop crying
and act like a Spencer. She then asked for Lulu's help in finding out
Ethan's agenda.
In his apartment, Ethan made a mysterious phone call, then came a knock at
the door. it was Lulu asking for a poker rematch. "How the hell did you find
me?" he barked.... Carly showed up at Mercy and found Claudia speaking with
Kelly about getting pregnant.... Ric arrived at Sonny's, where he and Jason
confronted him and accused him of being in cahoots with Ian. When Sonny
demanded answers, Ric gave up Claudia and confessed that she was the one
working with Ian.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have security patrolling our grounds 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
Greek Life We, as an HBCU have the Divine Nine. However, the Kappa's have been suspended from the yard for ten years (only two years have passed). Greek Life is the only life on campus and is so much fun when the opportunity is given for a social night life.
Clubs and Activities For Jarvis to be an active campus, there are less than ten (not including the Divine Nine) organizations established on campus.
Great for these types of students Students who love small, family like atmospheres.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Once a year, students gather in the middle of the night and walk to the graveyard on campus or try to make a journey through the wooded acreage on campus.
Bang for the buck I constantly hear students complaining about how much they spend to attend college at Jarvis, and have nothing to do.
What to do for fun To have the most fun, you must find transportation and go into the city and enjoy the nightlife in Tyler, Texas.
Food and Dining There is only one place to eat on campus and they have specified dining hours.
Dorm Life Whatever dorm you choose to enter, there will always be a few people hanging out playing dominoes, watching television or just hanging out.
Academic Rigor Students can easily pass these courses, so long as they do their work, attend class and develop a good rapport with the professors.
Tips for prospective students Carefully weigh your options before deciding to come to Jarvis. It is not the best school to gain a complete college experience. However, there are ample opportunities available to every student.
In three sentences Jarvis is small but provides a superior education. Everyone knows everyone. Jarvis provides ample opportunity for a student to get involved and stay in a position of prominence.

Formally trained as an architect, Italian designer Gianfranco Ferre launched his first signature womenâs wear collection in 1978, followed shortly with a menâs collection in 1982, fragrance in 1984, and a couture line by 1986. Known for its crisp lines, exact cutting, and visible seams, Ferréâs label was influenced by his first trips to Asia. Defined by an East-meets-West aesthetic that vehemently rejects high-fashion trends, the house built its look on rigorously constructed, but casual, garmentsâlike Ferréâs famously crisp white dress shirts decked with layered cuffs, collars, and ruffles. Sharply tailored dresses, suits, and structured ballroom skirts in ultraluxe fabrics and rich colors were recurring players in Ferréâs simple but elegant roster. In the nineties, the house branched out with sportier ready-to-wear, fur, and high-end accessories under FERRà Milano, and sportswear divisions for jeans , childrenâs, and lower-priced accessoriesâconsolidated in 2005 under the GF FERRà line. After Ferréâs death in 2007, Lars Nilsson was brought on as creative director for less than a year before being replaced by 6267 designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi in April 2008. Their first collection (spring 2009) won acclaim for honoring Ferréâs legacy of controlled femininity while modernizing the label with their stiff, geometric dresses in curve-conscious shapes. Yebhi.com, one of Indiaâs leading online shopping portals, brings you Gianfranco Ferré sunglasses at discounted prices.

A fire in Syracuse left two families without a home and sent a firefighter to the hospital. The fire broke out at 1318 Bellevue Avenue around 5:30 p.m. Thursday. As our Katie Gibas reports, firefighters said it was a tough fire to fight.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Ethel Hanks and her fiance were driving home when they saw the smoke.
"I've seen the flames and me and my fiance are like, there's fire. We're thinking, 'Where is it? I hope everybody's all right.' And then I get a phone call that it's my house. I still can't believe it," said Ethel Hanks, one of the homeowners.
Around 5:30 Thursday afternoon, several children in the neighborhood saw the flames at 1318 Bellevue Avenue and called 911.
"I just went out and then I just saw the house on fire with big flames and stuff, and I was just panicked," said Tyson Grant, a Syracuse resident.
Firefighters initially fought the fire from the inside, but the chief pulled people out as flames got worse. Once they got the fire under control, crews were able to re-enter the house.
"It's serious. The bulk of the fire at this time of the day was surprising. The entire back of the house, two porches and all the siding at the rear of the house was fully involved and it was extending into the structure itself, so we had our handful initially. It was a tough fire," said Syracuse Deputy Fire Chief Charlie Duffy.
Hanks, her fiance and two children share the two family home with another couple and child. None of the residents were injured. But a firefighter was transported to the hospital for a heat related illness. He's expected to fully recover.
"I'm just thankful that none of my kids were in there and no one else was in there. I'm sad that the fireman got hurt. He's putting his life on the line. I want to thank them for working hard to make sure the flames are out and that everybody got out safety. I know they worked hard to try to get to the back porch to try to get to the dog. I just want to thank every since one of them," said Hanks.
Ethel and her family did lose their dog, Paris, in the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The Red Cross was on scene to help provide the families with shelter, food and clothing.

EDMONTON - A northwest Edmonton elementary junior high school is taking healthy eating too far in restricting students' treats, says the mom of two junior high students.
But the principal at Florence Hallock School, at 16437 87th St., says he and his staff simply educate children about making healthy choices and confiscate only what's blatantly unreasonable.
Belinda Schnepf said she was packing a mini Pepsi and some five-cent candies in her daughter's lunch last Friday when the Grade 7 student told Schnepf not to send the treats because they're not allowed at school and might be confiscated.
Schnepf made calls to public school district officials who told her it's the principal's prerogative to set rules around sugary snacks. She said school and district staff told her sugary treats are not allowed at the school, including after Halloween.
"Do we really want to restrict our kids to the point they're worried and stressed about sugar?" Schnepf said.
"They're fearful about bringing a pop to school because they don't want to get caught with it. It's ridiculous."
However, Florence Hallock principal Dean Michailides said the school does not ban parents from packing lunch box treats.
Lunchroom supervisors encourage children to consume healthy foods before eating desserts. However, no one takes away students' treats and kids will be allowed to bring Halloween goodies in limited amounts, he said.
"We're not against treats but it's about moderation. Now, if a child comes to school and their lunch is packed with a pop, five-cent candy, a Kit Kat and a high-fat muffin, and we notice it's regularly, we would have a conversation or write in an agenda to the parents and say, 'Hey, can we talk about the nutritional value of your kid's lunch?'" said Michailides.
"I'm not dictating anything, but I am educating ... I educate kids, I talk to parents, I create environments that are conducive to learning."
Michailides said he has confiscated junk from time to time, such as when students turn up with super-sized convenience store drinks, but it's rare. He does not allow high caffeine energy drinks but he said he has never confiscated a regular-sized pop.
"In the morning, if kids are coming in with chocolate bars in their hands, we'll say, 'Put that away. Get rid of it. You're not ready for learning. That's not part of what we do here at our school,'" he said.
"You will have junior high kids sauntering in here thinking they can bring a Big Gulp to school at 8:45 in the morning and I won't let that happen. Two years ago I had a kid come in here with a 12-pack of Pepsi and I said, 'Where are you going with that?'"
Michailides said he took the pop and returned it at the end of the day for the student to take home.
Over the past several years, school districts across the country have introduced rules to curb students' consumption of fatty, salty and sugary foods.
Edmonton public school trustees approved a plan in 2008 that phased out the sale of junk food in schools over three years, including in cafeterias and vending machines. Under the Edmonton Public Schools health and wellness rules, principals and schools are required to foster healthy eating and educate students and staff about choosing healthy foods.
The Edmonton Catholic school district has similar rules that prohibit schools from selling junk food but don't restrict what parents send with their kids.
An Ontario government policy in place since September 2011 also bans junk food and unhealthy drinks from being sold in schools.
At one school in Toronto, the principal checks students' lunches for sugary treats, according to a report Wednesday night on CTV National News.
"If we do find something, for example, a box of Smarties or a Kit Kat bar, we will just kindly ask the student to take it home," principal John Currie told CTV.
Michailides said he doesn't police lunches and snacks in his 720-student school.
This is the first time a parent has complained about his approach, Michailides said. Feedback has been largely positive, he said. "I've had parents thank me for taking away their kids' Big Gulps," Michailides added.

This really stinks. Read my lips guys, NO NEW TAXES.
My meager pension is all I have right now.
Sad that you can't find other waste elimination within the state to help the economy.
It doesn't make sense to tax the pensions which will only keep us from spending any further than we already are, which isn't going to help local business and the overall economy.
So sad that the republicans need our pension money to support big business. We will have to be renamed our pensions to "Empty Pocket Pensions." Judy Emmons and Snyder need to be voted out along with the others who voted for these new taxes. Republicans are you listening to the PEOPLE ? The answer is no ! We will remember you next election if we can't recall you.
Frannie: So sad that the republicans need our pension money to support big business.
I agree they shouldn't have raised taxes. However, the taxes are needed to support big unions not big business.
changeagent:I agree they shouldn't have raised taxes. However, the taxes are needed to support big unions not big business.
Yea right. Public workers are getting fabulously wealthy on union wages, and CEO's are living in poverty. I heard this on Fox News.
In this case it's not the public workers I'm talking about. The big union support is to keep the union bosses in the big money. Half a million dollars a year for the head of AFSCME seems like pretty big money. Face it, unions are just another form of big business, it's just that they get what they want through intimidation and coercion vs. free choice. Note the quote from this article at http://www.iwatchnews.org/2011/03/03/2097/scores-union-leaders-earn-six-figure-salaries
"The Center for Public Integrity found compensation for leaders of the 10 largest unions ranged from $173,000 at the United Auto Workers to $618,000 at the Laborers' International Union of North America and almost $480,000 for the president of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees. The latter is the target of GOP governors in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Kansas"
Those union leaders must be awfully greedy. Why don't they give up some of their pay so the rest of the brotherhood can make more?
Boy, that seems like a lot of money for union leaders..... until you compare it to the highest paid 100 CEO's in the country, starting with the "lowest" paid one, the ceo of American Express, who only made $16,813,272 in 2010, going up to the highest one, the ceo of Liberty Media, who made $87,493,565 in 2009. Of course, these guys are not greedy, they're worth every penny, right?
Kind of makes half-a-mil look like chicken feed.
Ceo's are producers union bosses are parasites.
Union leaders produce better living standards and a safer workplace for their members. CEO's produce, and get paid, for the profits they produce for their company. The former's responsibility is to people, the latter to profit. Looks like profit is more lucrative than people.
gypsy: Of course, these guys are not greedy, they're worth every penny, right?
Apparently they are to the stockholders of the company since they choose the board of directors who hire the CEO's. I think $87 million is a lot of money. Then again I look at Ford Motor which was losing hundreds of millions of dollars a quarter under Bill Ford's leadership. He was smart enough to hire Mulally who turned the company around through true business acumen and leadership and now they're making hundreds of millions. Those skills are very rare and in a free market you are worth what you can get someone to pay you. I've never heard a CEO claim someone is greedy because they have been able to get paid a lot of money while I hear that drivel out of most union believers.
gypsy:Looks like profit is more lucrative than people.
Actually, it's profit that produces better living standards.
Actually, it's better pay and benefits that produce better living standards, making it possible for workers to buy the products and services that produce the profits for businesses. Consumer demand drives enterprise, not visa versa.
You mean like the UAW did for GM,creating higher wages and better benifits though extortion and eventual bailout by the tax payers that will never be paid back?Flint and Detroit are wonderful examples of better living standards .
I mean like the UAW did for GM workers, not the GM corporation. And it was not done by extortion, it was done by collective bargaining, while GM was making huge profits for it's share holders. And it is, and will be paid back, and thousands of jobs have and will be preserved. Flint and Detroit are examples of cities that will lead this nation out of the depression bankers and hedge fund managers put us in. They will do it by making a product that sells, not shuffling paper notes, and betting on what goes up and what goes down.
When did GM make huge profits for its shareholders? Flint and Detroit are the laughing stock of the country. There are the poster boys of liberal leadership.yes jobs have been preserved ,like Bloom said " I did it for the unions " .I also wouldn't hold my breath on GM ever paying back the bailout money, that was just a gift .
In the late 1990s, the U.S. economy was on the rise and GM gained market share producing enormous profits primarily from the sale of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles. Look it up.
By all means, don't hold your breath. Invest in tea, and have a party. That'll make you rich :)
Profits were up right until the UAW decided to strike and close 5 plants for seven weeks in 1998. Then the union bleed the company to its current state with massive losses that well more than erased the prior profits. Leaving shareholders holding the bag for the union.
According to you I already am rich, I was a owner of my own company. How much of your own money do you have in GM ?
The union didn't "decide" to strike for seven weeks in 1998. The company had an equal part in that decision. The union didn't "bleed" the company either, rather they gave concessions to try and save it. Ford dealt with the same union, and didn't need a government bailout to survive. Bad management decisions and poor business practices are what brought GM and Chrysler to their knees, not the unions.
I don't know if your rich or not, and don't care. I hope you are. Owning your own business is admirable, but no more admirable than someone working for wages. If time is money, I have a fortune in GM.
Spin it any way you want ,but the company didn't strike itself. The union demands and strong arm tactics brought GM down,at the expense of shareholders and tax payers . If money is money then alot of taxpayers have a fourtune in GM , even if they didn't want it. Unions have never created a job only business's can do that. Working for a living is survival , but it is more admirable than just getting a check.
Since you seem to be unaware of how collective bargaining works, allow me to explain. Both sides make demands on the other, and negotiation and compromise take place until they can agree. A strike, or lockout, occurs when one side or the other refuses to negotiate further. All this requires the participation of both sides.
Money is money, last time I checked, and taxpayers have a fortune in many corporations, not only GM. Some big banks come to mind. At least the taxpayer money invested in GM saved jobs, not banker's bonuses.
Unions don't create jobs, that is not their role. Their role is to protect workers and their right to a decent wage and safe working conditions. Working for a living should provide for more than just survival, it should provide the basis for our consumer economy. Without decent middle class wages, our country's economy would soon look like Mexico's. The super rich, and the desperate poor.
Well I know how collective bargining is suppose to work without your speech. The collective bargining process with the UAW and many other unions, is to artificially increase wages in unionized industries,limit employment opportunities,depress wages in non -union jobs,lower rates of return on investment in unionized companies and slow the growth of productivity.
When the company makes a profit the UAW will demand more , when they lose money the UAW will not accecpt less. The UAW will never deliver the quality and/or the efficiency of a non-union workforce because they do not hold workers accountable.
Fact is; Unions are the contributing factor in the decline of American manufacturing,espescially the Auto Industry.
Just read, The SEIU ( Service Employees International Union ) has a 70 page intimidation manual on how to bully employers and their families.
SEIU...can I get a copy of that bulling employers and their families handbook? You don't know what your talking about ! My point is this, there is no such thing so don't tell lies..................you must be a Spider Snyder supporter.
gypsy:Actually, it's better pay and benefits that produce better living standards, making it possible for workers to buy the products and services that produce the profits for businesses. Consumer demand drives enterprise, not visa versa
You are wrong on both accounts. Without profits there is no need to produce. Without production there is no need to purchase the labor of individuals so there are not jobs. While consumer demand fuels production, consumer demand does not drive enterprise. Desire for profit drives enterprise. Most products are introduced into markets that did not even know they wanted the products. Ten years ago there was no consumer demand for iPads because no one had introduced them to the market. It wasn't until someone invented it with the intent of making profit that consumers decided they wanted them. When was the last time the UAW invented something people wanted to buy?
This came out in the the Sodexo Food Services Co. lawsuit. It was reported in the Washington Times on July 15 by Vincent Vermuccio. It is called the "Contract Campaign Manual " on " Pressuring the Employer " put out by the SEIU. Try getting outside the mainstream media for your information .I am sure you really did not mean to call me a liar. Just a Snyder supporter.
I'll answer your closing question first.
changeagent:When was the last time the UAW invented something people wanted to buy?
1935, when the UAW was born.
I certainly have a different opinion than yours, but that doesn't make me wrong, on either account. Profit is the reward for production, not the need. The need is recognized first, the profit comes latter.
Consumer demand does drive the market. It doesn't create the need, it decides if the product is needed. The consumer decided the ipad was needed. It decided the Apple Newton wasn't. The consumer rules.
The only point I agree with you on is that without production, there is no need to purchase labor. There is also no product without labor. Sort of a stalemate, I'd say. Sounds like a good place to begin bargaining.
And what is wrong with a manual detailing to union organizers how to campaign to the workers and put pressure on the employer to allow the union the right to represent the workers? If you think that is unfair to the employer, you surely think the employer's putting pressure on workers not to join a union, by doing things like firing them, is unfair too, right?

The SEIU conspired to extort Sodexo by threatening finacial damage to the company unless they gave into its demands. They hacked the companies website ,which is illegal.They also started rumors about the company having rodent problems ,that they had rat droppings and maggots in they're foods . They harassed employees and accused them publicly of wrongdoing. the list of harassement goes on. So you think that forcing the Sodexo employees to unionize against they're will is OK ?
This is dated June 13th, 2011.
The regional director of the National Labor Relations Board in New Orleans has issued a formal complaint against Sodexo over its treatment of workers at two New Orleans universities. A trial date has been set for September over charges that Sodexo repeatedly violated U.S. labor law by spying on, threatening, and retaliating against workers for supporting a union - including firing a pro-union worker and using the Tulane University police to interrogate workers.
Where's your outrage over this, oldvet? If your accusations are true, and they are just accusations, I would support punishing the offenders. Would you support punishing Sodexo, a foreign owned company, for violating United States labor law?
What your are saying "are just accusations "of a small suit brought before the NLRB , who just happens to be run by Wilma Liebman (bricklayers/ teamsters unions)and Craig Becker ( SEIU union ). This suit is doing as the union manual decribes, do anything you can to discredit the company . Just as you do by saying it is a " foreign" company . The truth still is that a RICO lawsuit against SEIU has uncovered the manual that promotes union thuggery. This company employs over 200,000 people in the US 18,000 of which are union represented, perhaps you would like to run them out of the country like the unions have with our american companys.
I am not discrediting the company by telling the plain truth. Sodexo is a French multinational corporation headquartered in France. The NLRB is an independent agency of the US government charged with conducting elections for labor union representation and investigating and remedying unfair labor practices. It is governed by a five person board and a general counsel, appointed by the President and approved by the Senate.
The RICO lawsuit has not come to a conclusion, and until it does, the "accusations" of Sodexo against the SEIU are just that.
People with your opinion are fond of referring to union members fighting for their rights as "thugs", but never seem to have the same distaste for thuggery when it is used by corporations against it's employees.
Show me the thuggery you are refering to . The NLRB is run by union thugs,with only one agenda . Increase union members and fleece them by charging them dues . It is quite easy for a thinking person to see why the unions are losing members,and right to work states are doing better. The SEIU is a corrupt union with a history . Sodexo is a company that provides 120,000 jobs in the US.
I'll gladly help you find the incidents of corporate thuggery you seek. A good place to start is this site, http://impactglassman.blogspot.com/2011/02/short-history-of-union-busting-in-usa.html. There are of course, many more. Enjoy your history lesson.
I don't think Brian Hayes, the Republican from Mass. who President Obama appointed to the NLRB, would consider himself a "union thug", since as a lawyer he represented management in legal disputes with labor. Your use of "union thug" as a talking point is quite worn.
I must agree with you though, it is quite easy for a thinking person to see that unions have lost membership since the Reagan presidency, and a subsequent stagnation in middle class incomes has prevailed. The parallel is very obvious.
The question is, who is doing better in the right to work for less states? The workers, or the corporations.
Sodexo "provides" jobs because it needs workers to function. Those workers need a living wage and decent working conditions. Their best method of achieving those goals is to collectively bargain for them.
Your blogspot is a far left communist site, you just outed yourself, now we know where you get your talking points. As for The NLRB even with that appointment Obama still has a 3-1 Union thug presence on the NLRB board. This board is anti-business and is helping to hinder job growth. In right to work states the corporations and the workers are doing better. You cannot be denied a job in a right to work state because you don't want to join a union. Your losing your argument faster than the unions are losing members. The NLRB should be done away with as it is a partisan commitee and a drain on the budget.
Gypys , The US Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis says The private job growth grew 39.6% in right to work states 29.2% in non-right to work states during the years 1990 -2008 GDP ( gross domestic product for you union types) grew 69.9% in right to work states 45.3 % in non-right to work states during the same period. Where forced union dues are legal , union officials use their power to dislocate labor markets ,jack up costs,and bankroll Tax and Spend regulation happy politicans.
You certainly have the talking points of the right wingnuts down pat oldvet. "Union thugs", "far left communist". You must have a dictionary full of them.
Maybe in your opinion I'm losing the argument, but that would be better judged by someone not arguing with me, don't you think? The history of corporate violence against workers seeking to organize is very well documented. Either you are uneducated, or you're just refusing to acknowledge historical fact. I'm certain it is the latter.
The higher job growth rates in right to work for less states reflect the trend of manufacturing, particularly auto manufacturers, both domestic and foreign, moving south, into states that were right to work for less, where the wages were lower and jobs historically paid much less than in the industrialized north. The workers at the domestic auto makers were still in the union, and foreign auto makers were forced to pay their workers at a near equal level. This also explains the growth in GDP, (thanks for explaining that for us "union types"). It's interesting to note in your referenced statistics the growth in jobs and GDP in the non-right to work for less states. Proving that even in the higher wage and unionized north, where good paying manufacturing jobs were the basis of the economy since the 1930's, cheap and compliant labor is not the only lure for some manufacturers.
You have been spoon fed that union crap for so long you think it taste's good.Unions are over, the workers are reailizing that they are parasites. You have a 1930's mind set. Get up to the times ,Unions are not needed and are a thing of the past. As far as "well documented "' so is the thuggery of the unions, they not only try to intimidate the employer they try to intimidate the employee. But you just keep paying those dues, those union bosses need the money.
I know what unions have done for labor, and what they have done for our countries economy, helping to raise working men and women's incomes, making their workplace safer, and giving them security in their older age. Unions have supported and were partners in creating social security, workman's compensation, unemployment insurance, and medicare. They have also fought for civil rights and social justice for minorities. Today is Saturday. I hope you're enjoying it. It was made possible through the efforts of unions to establish a forty hour week. So yes, I do think that "union crap" taste good. Very good.
As for having a mindset of the 30's, I can assure you I live very much in the present. But those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
I will keep paying those dues, and support politicians who understand that a workers right to join together and collectively bargain for a fair share of the pie is a basic human right. As for the wages of the union bosses, I invite you to compare their six figure salaries to the millions of dollars salaries of the CEO's who head the corporations they bargain with. The head of the UAW makes $173,000. GM's former CEO, Rick Wagoner, the man who lead GM to bankruptcy, gets a pension worth $23 million.
What you are saying is forced union dues for politicians that you do not support, or dues that go to activitives that you do not support is ok . You also seem to forget that the UAW through extortion of higer wages and benifits was the main reason for GM and Chrsyler"s failure. Now Obama has seized them from the bond holders and given part of it to the union and part is still owned by us taxpayers . So you keep paying those dues whether you want to or not. As for the salary of the the head of a private corporation , only the stockholders need be concerned , they have skin in the game and are paying him to make them money on their investment. A union boss collects dues from its members and should answer to them, if you want him to make more, pay more dues.As for your fair share of the pie , what makes you think you have any right to a share , you want a share buy it ! Go read your Solidarity magazine, and post your union drivel on HuffPo or some other leftist communist website. You are just a troll here and are always on the wrong side of every issue. Living in a right to work state allows you not to belong to a union if you choose not to, even if there is union presence. Whats wrong with that idea ? I was told in 1965 that if I didn't sign a card to have union dues deducted from my paycheck at aGM plant that I would be fired I refused and I was fired. I Then started my own business that I ran for forty years until selling it a couple years ago,because of high taxes and hostile regulations. I put in 70+ hrs a week and worked every saturday. I made my own pension I didn't extort it .
I pay my union dues willingly, and they go to activities I suppport. I would be a fool not to. The UAW was not the "main" reason for GM and Chrysler's failure. Bad management, poor quality control, and a product line not in tune with market demand were the biggest factors. Obama saved a huge chuck of our manufacturing base, and thousands of jobs by bailing out the auto companies. Our tax dollars were well spent, for a change. Beats poring billions into a war we didn't need to fight, like the previous president did.
What makes me think, as a worker, I deserve a fair share? The fact that without labor, business could not exist. You go buy your share, I'll work for mine.
If you don't like my opinions, feel free not to read them. Last time I checked, Michigan Votes was providing a forum for opinions and comment from the public. I am not a business owner, but I am a member of the public, being a voting citizen of the US and Michigan. Maybe you should get used to the idea that not everyone shares your opinion.
Typical Democrat reply , blame the other guy !!! It sure has been fun watching you implode, you have attacked every opinion made on this site that doesn't fit your view. It is very easy to discredit you. I have had fun. No you are not a business owner, you could not make it out in the real world with you union (socialist )way of thinking ,you really do not have what it takes.
