Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Internet has opened new pathways around the globe and transformed the way we read, write and collaborate. In addition, new social practices have emerged that have redefined community.
At the same time, business, social, and political leaders have called for greater global awareness. In fact, the fate of humanity may lie in the ability of future generations to solve problems together on a global scale. This in turn requires us to rethink the social practices of literacy that we teach in the classroom. Classroom teachers can shape the leaders of tomorrow by teaching online collaborative inquiry through global education initiatives.
Literacy educators need to place online collaborative inquiry, which is the ability for a group of local or global participants to reach a solution through multiple pathways of knowledge, at the cornerstone of their digital text and tools curriculum. Without online collaborative inquiry, young authors and readers cannot fully harness the power of the Internet. The surest method to incorporate online collaborative inquiry into the classroom is through global education.
Three Principles of Global Education
Three principles guide our understanding of Global Education. These goals will unite our communities, require students to consider multiple perspectives, and utilize interpersonal communications skills.
1. Considering Global Connections
First, Global Education requires students to think about knowledge and issues in an interconnected and systematic way and to consider how local and regional realities might have larger, global connections. To illustrate, in the video below Chief Almir uses new technology to share his tribe's story with the world while protecting important national resources.
Imagine bringing that power to your classroom. A group of dedicated individuals living deep in the Rain Forest changed their world for the better. What can you do with your students?
2. Examining Cultural Perspectives
The second Global Education principle asks students to explore their own culturally bounded understandings and to consider the ways culture can influence one's perspectives and value systems. The key to the second principle is to do more than simply read a book that has a picture of a child from another country on the cover. Teachers must go beyond simply having students hang flags or prepare local flavors of the country du jour.
For example the GlobalEd 2 project hosted by the University of Connecticut and the University of Illinois at Chicago asks students to role play as members of different cultures and countries while solving real world problems. Learners across the United States must attempt to understand how others might view the issue and, in the process, challenge their own beliefs while engaging in science curriculum and content area reading.
3. Applying New Skills and Knowledge
Finally Global Education focuses on an array of interpersonal communication skills needed to function within increasing culturally diverse and technologically complex contexts. The world economy revolves around the flow of information in a new digital world. This world requires students to utilize new knowledge and skills in order to engage in literary practices necessary for global citizenship. Through online collaboration and the creation of truly international and cross-cultural online communities, students can begin to develop and practice these vital interpersonal skills.
Three Pathways to Global Education
Educators can find vast resources if they want to get involved with a Global Education project. Like most inquiries we began our hunt on Twitter. Using the hashtag #GlobalEd we connected with many teachers, found daily newspapers published by curators, and links to many initiatives. Below we share just three.
1. Photo Essays
Your students do not have to engage with others to build on the three principles of Global Education. You can collaborate in your classroom on photo essays. First start by reading some of the powerful photo essays published by the Carolina Navigators. As a class discuss the essays. Make sure to focus on the cultural beliefs embedded in the essay. Discuss how these beliefs are reflected in the chosen photos. Then have students use presentation software or a movie maker to create their own essay.
2. i-Spy in the Community
i-Spy in the Community is a Global Education project for students in grades K-3. It revolves around the essential question, "How do you know that you are part of a community?" Students investigate their communities and share what they elarn with the world using VoiceThread. The project wiki has detailed lesson plans and contact information to get involved.
3. Global Education Conference
Interested in learning more about Global Education? Want to meet other educators to share ideas or discover a collaboration project? Then we encourage you to attend the free online Global Education Conference. The conference is November 12 to17. The goal of the conference is to foster a world wide community of teachers committed to Global Education.
Ultimately, we have an obligation to our students to make sure they can understand and address problems with a global perspective. This will not only require new skills and practices, but more fundamentally a keen understanding of diverse perspectives and belief systems. In order to meet this call, we implore you to set a goal of engaging students in online collaborative inquiry through Global Education.

Report Republicans hoping to pick of a legislative win after the fiscal cliff deal have been eyeing the debt ceiling is the next potential arena.
For a spending -- fight the president however is not putting on his boxing gloves.
Just yet chief White House correspondent Ed Henry explains.
Just hours after popping up in the White House briefing room to tell a big victory -- agreement.
Further reduces the deficit by raising 620 billion dollars in revenue.
From the wealthiest households in America President Obama was at it again today with a campaign style video sent out on Obama Biden letterhead.
Even though the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the fiscal cliff deal will add nearly four trillion dollars to the national debt over the next ten years.
The agreement we reached this week will reduce the deficit even more by asking the wealthiest 2% of Americans to pay higher taxes.
For the first time in two decades.
White House officials note the CBO is comparing this deal to a scenario where all of the tax cuts expired.
And much more revenue came into the government -- scenario that was never likely -- yet Republicans stressed the real problem is the president signing a deal that has almost no spending cuts.
The failure to step up and do the big thing when he could he -- -- leadership of the table he didn't know -- -- talk about.
Cutting expanding.
It's kind of a joke the president -- he tried to get a big deal with speaker John Boehner.
That would have had one point two trillion dollars in cuts in the Republican walked away.
Though the explosive debate over raising the debt ceiling in the weeks ahead gives Boehner and company a new opportunity to change the sour taste Republicans have over this weekend -- It runs up the long term -- you people that are kicking -- can give me that can't.
But -- what we're going to do is -- line in the sand and start demanding.
They you don't bring anything forward unless you have the spending cuts -- the -- -- -- last night to be flexible on deficit reduction I am.
Very open a couple months just admitted after making that promise mr.
Obama added he's not compromising on or even negotiating about the debt ceiling -- will negotiate over.
Many things.
I will not have another debate with this congress -- whether or not they should pay the bills.
That -- they've already racked up.
Now White House officials say the president has that position because the last debate over the debt -- was harmful to the economy Republicans insist we can't afford to not have this debate when we're sixteen trillion dollars in debt.
And they believe this is the only weapon to force the president to cut more spending -- And and I -- north lawn Ed thank you stuff.

Prepared by Djamil Fertikh, MD , Mercy Catholic Medical Center, Medical Imaging Department, Darby, PA.
The patient is a 59-year-old woman who had experienced a fracture of her left proximal femur at age 32. Radiographs revealed a fracture of the femoral neck through an abnormal expansile, ground-glasslike area. A whole-body technetium-99m methylene disphosphonate (MDP) bone scan was performed, showing in addition to the left femur, several areas of abnormal radiotracer uptake, including the left mandible, both humeri, and the left tibia (Figure 1). Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the right hip were obtained subsequently (Figure 2). Her medical history was significant for precocious puberty, hypothyroidism, and the presence of skin café-au-lait spots.
Fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxomas: Mazabraud's syndrome
Radiographs show ground-glass areas involving the left femur, tibia, and fibula (Figure 3). A whole-body technetium-99m MDP bone scan revealed abnormal areas of radiotracer uptake involving the right proximal femur, the right mandible, both humeri, and the left tibia.
MRI of the patient's left hip showed multiple, well demarcated, intramuscular soft-tissue masses of different sizes, which were characterized by a low signal intensity (SI) on T1-weighted images and a high SI on T2-weighted images (Figure 2).
Mazabraud's syndrome is a rare entity represented by the association of fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxomas. Their association was first reported in 1957 by A. Mazabraud, a French physican. 1 Mazabraud's syndrome does not appear to be hereditary and occurs mostly in women. The myxomas tend to develop and congregate around the thighs, buttocks, and shoulder regions. Their neoplastic nature has been questioned over time. Considering their tendency to group close to the affected segments of the bone involved by fibrous dysplasia, they are believed to be a reactive phenomenon due to local mechanical stress factors. Supporting this hypothesis is the fact that, histologically, they appear to be very close to synovial mucoid cysts occurring in stressed articulations. 2 Others hypothesize that they may be extraosseous manifestations of fibrous dysplasia. 3 When compared with isolated myxomas, their tendency to reoccur after removal is very low; however, note the postsurgical recurrence in this patient. As in our patient, the polyostotic form of fibrous dysplasia is predominant. Malignant transformation (eg, osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma) in Mazabraud's syndrome has been reported, but the incidence remains very low. 2,4 For the myxomas, early surgery is usually advocated, 4 since involvement of neurovascular structures in advanced cases renders excisions more laborious.
MRI has been used to evaluate the syndrome. 5,6 We found it a more useful imaging tool than the CT scan for presurgical evaluation of the anatomy and the extent of the lesion. Awareness of the syndrome and its presentation is essential in distinguishing myxomas from other malignant mesenchyal tumors with myxomal components such as liposarcomas, botyroid-type rhabdomyosarcomas, malignant fibrous histocytomas, extraskeletal chondrosarcomas, and neurofibromatosis, and consequently precluding the need for additional expensive and often stressful investigations.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Seven people were arrested Friday morning as a four-month undercover investigation yielded thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise.
Detectives first learned of stolen property being sold in a business back in Nov. 2012. The business, Just Computers, located near Platte Avenue and Circle Drive, was selling shoplifted items, police said. It was also selling property stolen from vehicles, homes and businesses, police added.
The investigation started in December and involved the Colorado Springs Police Department, El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Fountain Police Department, El Paso County District Attorney's Office, Safeway Corporation, Home Depot and the U.S. Postal Service.
Police said the business Just Computers, led by owner Clay Schaner, would receive the stolen property and then resell it.
It sold the stolen property mainly on Ebay, police said.
According to police, Schaner conducted more than $1.3 million in Ebay sales in a four-year period.
Schaner, police said, was the primary conduit for the stolen property. Other suspects were traveling from Castle Rock, Denver and Pueblo to conduct the sales, police said.
From where was the merchandise coming? Police said it was being stolen from retail outlets by crews of shoplifters. Specifics of the shoplifting are still under investigation.
Police said Schaner was working in conjunction with at least three others, including his son, Clinton.
The suspects, police said, all conspired to receive, sell and package for delivery stolen items and sell them on Ebay. The stolen items were shipped across the country, police said. There is also indication of international sales.
Police called the scheme an "organized criminal enterprise." Charges are anticipated to be filed under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act.
On Friday, police executed 11 search warrants at five different locations. Five of the warrants were for financial records and the rest were for web-based service records.
Clayton Schaner, Clinton Schaner, Caleb Butler, Tommie Bradley and James Driscoll were all arrested, police said.
They face charges that include Colorado Organized Crime Control Act/Prohibited Activities , Money Laundering, Theft by Receiving , Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender, Conspiracy and Theft Detection Devices.
Police said tens of thousands of dollars in stolen property was recovered on Friday. Police are now working to return the property.
This organization provided an opportunity for stolen property to be sold and as an incentive for people committing the shoplifting. Through interviews and investigation, police said the primary reason the people doing business with Just Computers was to finance drug habits.
More arrests are expected, police said.

Rihanna's zombie bees and other famous people problems
Bruce Willis has fallen victim to an ailment that affects all parents at one time or another – the belief that your tales of child-raising are as amusing to everyone else as they are to you. It's evidenced by a recent demonstration the British show "Daybreak," in which Willis shows how he entertains his daughter by taking a drink of water and spits it out on the floor. Amusing for his baby girl, perhaps, but not for anyone else. And we have to wonder, does Bruce have carpets or hardwood floors?

Rihanna has a hard time relaxing in her California pool. Instead of sunbathing, she's busy trying to drown the local bees, which seem to like taking baths, and might be zombie bees as they stubbornly refuse to succumb to Rihanna's attacks. She told Complex magazine, "They bug the hell out of me... They come and take baths, splashing and swimming. When they're done they get to the edge, hop out, dry off, and just fly away. I try to drown them because I'm freaked out by bees but they don't die." Photo: Christopher Polk, Getty Images For NARAS

Sofia Vergara's wedding proposal almost got her arrested, she told Ellen DeGeneres. Vergara said her fiancé, Nick Loeb, proposed to her atop the Chichen Itza pyramids in the Yucatan. A romantic idea, yes, until he escorted her over a rope into an archaeological area that was blocked to public entry. When the happy couple emerged, security guards at the site threatened to arrest them, but they managed to talk their way out of it.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian learned the hard way not to use their celebrity to bypass TSA security lines at the airport. After being whisked off of a flight from Brazil to JFK International Airport, the pair were whisked away to their connecting flight through a non-public area, a TSA rep told TMZ.com. Kim and Kanye were then yanked off their connecting flight to be screened, causing a 50 minute delay for those lucky enough to share the plane with them. Photo: Alan Diaz, STF

As if Ke$ha weren't attractive enough already, she's now been caught on video drinking her own urine in her upcoming MTV documentary filmed by her brother, "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life." She told the BBC: "He got all the things you would want to see and all the things you wouldn't really want to see - making out with dudes, drinking my own pee, jumping out of a building, jumping out of aeroplanes, swimming with sharks... "I was told drinking my own pee was good... Somebody tried to take my pee away from me and I said, 'That is mine!' So I snatched it up and took a chug and it was really gross so I don't do it anymore." We're glad her decision-making skills are still developing. Photo: LIONEL CIRONNEAU, AP

Chubby Checker is not terribly pleased with a cheeky new HP app bearing his name that estimates the size of a man's penis based on shoe size. From the app's description: "Any of you ladies out there just start seeing someone new and wondering what the size of there (sic) member is? All you need to do is find out the man's shoe size and plug it in... Now with the Chubby Checker there is no need for disappointment or surprise..." The singer's attorneys claim Hewlett-Packard's marketing men have done "irreparable damage and harm" to their client. And now we've all thought about Chubby Checker for the first time since they were doing "The Twist" on "Mad Men." Photo: Charley Gallay

Jenny McCarthy's go-go girls scared off opera singer Josh Groban, who pulled out of her new late-night talk show after showing up to the studio and watching the first five minutes of taping. McCarthy said it's ok if certain stars don't want to be associated with her show. She told Access Hollywood, "I felt like I wanted to bring some sexy girls like you'd see in a nightclub; my show is very much like a nightclub - there's a bartender and a DJ... (They're) dressed the same as you see in Vegas, kinda cabaret style." Photo: Vince Bucci, Associated Press

One Direction lost a ton of money in Las Vegas last year and got in big trouble with their managers. Wait a second. One Direction – they're like, 12 years old, right? Somehow, the underage pop stars still managed to gamble, and apparently they are not very good at gambling. Singer Niall Horan told a British magazine recently that he won $100 but it "got a bit ugly" for the rest of his bandmates. And then they were all grounded and sent to their rooms. Photo: John Wright

Tim McGraw, who claims to idolize Bruce Springsteen, was embarrassed at a charity show when Springsteen called McGraw up on stage to sing "Glory Days." McGraw recalled, "You don't wanna say that you don't know the words... at a function honoring somebody who's one of your heroes... so I said, 'I can get through it,' but I still tried to hide after I said it. "I came in late and then the teleprompter was going and I couldn't find my words and so I just had to laugh and hand it back to Bruce... It was pretty embarrassing." Photo: CHAD RACHMAN, AP

Reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are providing a master class on how to manage money. The couple is now broke after blowing $10 million in anticipation of the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. Pratt told Britain's OK! Magazine that he spent $80,000 on a quartz crystal from a volcano in Peru and started buying people cars. "I spent over $1 million on men's clothing because I wanted people to take me seriously as an A-lister. I wanted to be in the fashion magazines alongside Brad Pitt." Montag became obsessed with Birkin bags and Victoria Beckham's style. They also lost $2 million by setting up their own record label to launch Montag's singing career. Photo: Charles Sykes, AP

Sylvester Stallone quit Twitter after coming to the stunning realization that if you say controversial things, then send those things out into the world, the world is going to send things back (some of them not-nice). He told the British magazine Nuts, "I used to tweet but it's an act of futility. You're not really making any impact. It might be a great promotional tool, but just to make small talk, it's crazy. "If you find yourself in a mood when you wanna be a bit controversial and you post something, you suddenly realize, 'Oh my God!' because you've opened yourself up to a bunch of criticism from strangers." Best to let your handlers handle Twitter for you, Stallone. Photo: Frazer Harrison, Staff

Yes, Sir Paul McCartney gets to be in this gallery twice, because we can't not report on his elderly, really terrible-looking sheep. The vegetarian star told a British radio station that he refuses to have the sheep slaughtered, and from his description it seems that Scottish sheep do not age well. "It can be embarrassing. People say, 'Look at the state of your sheep!' And I say, 'Yes, they're very old. There's only one alternative - to send them off to the knacker's yard (slaughterhouse).'"

Beautiful Chinese Paper-Cut Foil Artwork Framed, 23" x 34"
Beautiful Chinese Paper-Cut Foil Artwork Framed, 23" x 34" Up for sale is a beautiful hand-cut Chinese Foil artwork "Jianzhi". It's all cut from one piece of foil, by hand, and is a centuries-old artform in China (see below). Framed size is 23" x 34", and is in perfect shape. A beautiful item for the collector or art fan. I purchased this new several years ago and paid $200 for it, so it's a great deal. http://china.answers.com/chinese-culture/the-art-of-chinese-paper-cutting Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts in China. It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings onto their hair at the temples, and men used them in sacred rituals. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years' development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women. I'm asking $75, or best offer. Cash Only. I'm located in Carmichael, but can meet you anywhere in the Sacramento area. Derek (916) 712-1389 More info Email a friend |

Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier w/ Humidifying Function - White
Clean and humidify the air in your home with the Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier w/ Humidifying Function (KC830U). With it's patented Plasmacluster Ion technology, this unit splits positive and negative ions and spreads them around the room to surround airborne particles. They then proceed to balance the amount of ions in the air, which leaves it smelling fresher and better then before. The manual operation on this unit allows you to choose one out of three (3) fan speeds, so you can purify the air more or less depending on your preference. With a true HEPA filter, this purifier captures 99.97% of airborne particles - such as pollens and dirt - from the air as small as 0.3 microns. In addition to the HEPA filter, the washable pre-filter traps the particles while the carbon filter removes household odors to leave the room smelling even fresher.
The humidification function allows you to add humidity to the air, which keeps it comfortable during the colder weather. With a humidification tank capacity of up to 4.4 pints, you can keep the unit going for hours. While working, this unit is extremely quiet with a noise level as low as 22 dB, making it one of the quietest on the market and able to run in a room while you are sleeping. The advanced technology of this unit makes it more energy efficient than most purifiers, earning it an Energy Star qualification and saving you money. Perfect for smaller rooms in the home and small offices or workspaces, this unit will keep the air around you feeling fresh and comfortable.

Following the graduation quarterback Fredi Knighten, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette offensive player of the year, along with receivers such as Ben Fortson and Kendall Bruce, and offensive lineman Jason King and Matt Kolb getting their diplomas, there will be a few glaring voids for the Bruins to fill as they make the move to Class 5A.
As for now, various players such as receiver L.J. Wallace and quarterback Lawson Vassar are starting to give some clarity to who might take over for the 2012 season. The one constant will be tight end Hunter Henry, who is fielding offers from programs such as Arkansas, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Alabama and Oklahoma.
Pulaski Academy held its spring game on Thursday.

Vue Condo Project In Receivership
Filed under: Real Estate Developments
Douglas Wilson, owner of the Douglas Wilson Companies (DWC) has been appointed as the receiver for The Vue, a luxury 15-story condo tower in San Pedro, California. DWC has assumed complete operational responsibility for the 318-unit project, including all homeowner and leasing program issues. The developer Carlyle/Galaxy San Pedro opened Vue as condo project in March 2009 but the building now has a rental program because of the distressed real estate economy. Units rent in the $1,500-$3,000 range. DWC is currently discussing with the lender and developer whether or not to restart the sales program for the property. Units for sale had, at one pint, a starting price of $315,000.
"This is the largest waterfront development in Old Town San Pedro, so we expect this asset to be a strong performer once the market has stabilized," said Douglas Wilson, CEO of Douglas Wilson Companies (DWC) in a press release. "With views of the harbor and upscale amenities like concierge service and a helicopter pad, the Vue sets a new standard for San Pedro."
Units in the building have floor-to-ceiling glass walls and private balconies. Interiors feature stainless steel appliances, hardwood cabinets, quartz countertops and more. Building amenities include a resort-style pool with a deck and private cabanas; a fitness center and yoga/Pilates studio; and a rooftop terrace with stainless steel barbecue grills.

Karl Helser | South Side... Date Climbed: May 14, 2006 | |
This was my second summit of Hood. We left the car at 3:00am and hit the summit at 8:00am. We were back to the car by 11:00am. The Berg only had a small bridge in the middle. One person at a time with other people a safe distance not to load with weight. It should be completely open within the next couple of days especially with the recent heat wave. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ | ||

Worked all day and drove down from Seattle. Climbed the mountain and drove all the way back to Seattle next day. Tired... But fun climb and finally doing a route on Hood besides the HogsBack. | ||

Garon Coriz | First Big Cascade Volcano Date Climbed: May 2, 2006 | |
Went up the Hogsback with four other Reedies and a guide from Portland Parks and Rec. The Berg was open in three spots allowing for passage over two snow bridges. The winds were a little nasty entering the crater and completely dead around the berg and pearly gates. The views were tremendous and we all had a great time. Hope to return soon. | ||

IamLubos | Great day for #26 Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2006 | |
Excellent weather with views for miles from the top. The snow was nicely packed and the bergshrund was no problem. I started at 5am, and got back at 2pm. More on my website. | ||

Nice 7th summit on Hood. Classic morning on the mountain. Jeff and I left the car at 4:30am and took it easy all the way up, summitting at 9:00am. The weather was ideal, the snow perfect and the 'schrund is still far off on either side. It is fine if you stay right on the Hogsback... that said, be careful. | ||

We a great day for my second summit on this mountain. It was clear and very windy at the start around 2:30am, and a few teams turned around. We pushed through knowing an improving trend was on the way and shared the top with only two other climbers. The ice through the Pearly Gates was great for climbing up and down between 8-8:30am, and we were able to glissade from below Crater rock to around 6500'. | ||

OJ Loenneker | South side route climbed Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2006 | |
Went up the Hogsback route, in the most beautiful weather imaginable. Not a single cloud, and nearly wind less at the summit. The Hogsback seemed very steep in some sections, and almost even a small section that is nearly vertical. The traverse to the normal "gates" is a little exposed, but managable. I opted for the "chute" instead. These is a small hole in the Bergschrund, but the snow bridge was quite stable, as many climbers where crossing it this day. Alhough, later in the day, the snow seemed to turn into the consistency of a slurpee. Go early, we had lots of firm snow and ice... | ||

cluck | South Side Conditions Date Climbed: Apr 27, 2006 | |
Beware the bergschrund! It's covered by a very weak snowbridge at the moment. Someone actually broke through and fell in yesterday! Fortunately, they were OK and rescued by another climbing party. The bergie will be very dangerous for the next several days/weeks until the snowbridge melts out. Until then, pay very close attention to where you step and consider roping up. Other than that, conditions on the upper mountain are superb. There a staircase up the hogsback and through the Pearly Gates. (Actually, the route currently goes through the left chute, not the normal right 'Gates'). | ||

Thanks to my patient climbing partner, Scott Towsey, who put up with me laying down for extended periods of time several times on the way up due to my lack of proper rest over the previous 4 days. A firm tug on the rope from him usually was all it took to get me going again. | ||

This was my first "real" snow climb. Climbed with my friend and climbing partner brettwilli along with our guide, Joe. The fumaroles were pretty cool, yet a little intimidating knowing I could end up in one if I screwed up. Jumped the Shrund, that was a bit scary but cool at the same time. Had a great time!! | ||

Almost didn't leave the car it was so windy and cold on the 18th. Ended up skinning up to the top of Palmer and set up camp with my partners. I just got back from Denali this May/June and with the exception of high camp I have never camped in colder weather. It nearly touched -10 at 8,600 feet and there was wind. The next day we got a late start and finished off the south route. The shrund is totally filled, no need to rope up. After breaking camp I got some sweet turns in on the way back to Timberline.

VIDEO: On Why Chicago Transit Authority President Richard Rodriguez Shouldn't Be Driving to Work
- Welcome to my readers today from Gapers Block!
- On Tuesday–I suspect in direct response to the issues raised here on this blog and promoted across the local blogosphere–the Sun-Times published an editorial chastising Rodriguez for driving to work.
- Also on Tuesday, I asked my Chicagosphere readers to weigh with their opinion in this post: Blog Debate: Should the CTA President Get a Pass on Driving to Work?
- This story is still trending on the front page of Windy Citizen after more than 24 hours and can be voted up here.
- Read CTA Tattler's new rebuttal upholding "family values" here. (This from Chicago's top transit blog? Seriously?)
- And an updated version of this story is cross-posted on my Huffington Post Chicago byline.
This morning the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Chicago Transit Authority president Richard Rodriguez canceled the free-car perq that dozens of high-ranking managers–including Rodriguez–used to drive back and forth to their jobs at the nation's second-largest public transit system.
An ironic situation seemingly made all better–except that Rodriguez has now decided to lease a car from the CTA instead–at a discount rate–to make sure he still doesn't have to ride to work on his own agency's buses and 'L' trains.
All together now, folks: Are you kidding me?
(Video Blog: How are you doing your job if the one thing you're paid to promote you rebuff in the morning news?)
Now I've covered some pretty stupid CTA stunts in the past. Couching cold-weather homeless harassment as a public service? Covering up the semi-permanent closure of a downtown 'L' station? Forgetting to tell riders about a new station entrance? Hating on specific groups of transit riders in their own customer survey?
And who could forget (as-soon-as-we-lose-the-Olympics outgoing) Mayor Daley's open-handed slap in the face of transit riders when he abruptly yanked former CTA honcho Ron Huberman away from the agency?
But this really takes the cake. Rodriguez has been driving to work for months now, in order so spend more time with his kids in the morning. Cuddly as that reason sounds, there's really no excuse. View the video above to hear why I think the head of the CTA regularly driving to work for any reason–not to mention crowing about it in major media–is about as moronic as it gets.
Trust me on that adjective. I used to be a grammar teacher and it's the most apt one I can come up with that still manages to keep this post family friendly.
Or at least as family friendly as Rodriguez's morning drive.

Perhaps we can be a public-transit region now. Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune decried the sorry state of repair of Metra's Roosevelt Road station, and laid blame at the feet of anti-Chicago Metra Chairman Jeffrey Ladd. Today he says he's resigning.
So the CTA announced Doomsday once again, and not just one Doomsday, but two of them. What luck for Chicagoland transit riders who might miss the elimination of three dozen CTA bus routes in November! Now they'll be able to enjoy the evaporation of the rest of the system on January 6. What do we have to blame? The unbridl...
The Chicago Tribune's John Hilkevitch reports today that due to the failing economy, the Chicago Transit Authority is now facing a budget crisis so huge that the agency my simply cease operating in 2010 without emergency state funding. So why isn't this front-page news?
30 Comments
I'm with you. When I saw the headline this morning, I was shocked. A mass transit agency provides free take-home cars to employees?
And just before that, I was out for my morning walk thinking about how little common sense is exercised in this city.
Totally agree with you on this. How is he supposed to manage a system he doesn't ride on first-hand?
I totally disagree with you on this one. And ditch the snarky remarks about kids being like pets. That's just wrong. Obviously you don't have kids.
You ask "why does Richard Rodriguez think he's more important than these folks" who have kids and have to take the train or bus to work.
What makes you think that he thinks he's more important than them? I think he's doing what he thinks is best for him and his family. And he should.
Let's fact it. The guy no doubt works more than the 40 hours a week that the average guy does. So he doesn't always see his kids at night at home. He sees them in the morning and gets some quality time with them in the car.
So why begrudge him that? I've reported on my CTA Tattler blog that he rides the bus and trains plenty on and off his job. Last time I talked to him he said he rides to the airport with his kids on the Blue Line for fun.
It would be different if he never rode the CTA. But he does. He's found a way to strike a delicate balance between work and family. Just like millions of other parents.
[Ed. Note: Kevin O'Neil is the editor of CTA Tattler.]
I agree with Kevin O'Neil and I don't have kids. What I do have is lots and lots of memories of childhood activities that did not include my father, because he was at work. A lot. If he'd cited cleanliness issues like Carole Brown did, I'd be all over his case. If he wants to spend time with his kids, and driving to work helps him do that, fine.
One word for Rodriguez: hypocrite
Wow, talk about confusing the issues. This is not a child care issue. This is simply a case of the emperor not wearing any clothes and those closest to him afraid to tell him. If he can spend that much more time with his children taking a car rather than the CTA, then the CTA and the rest of us who rely on it really are screwed.
I'm not surprised that he doesn't take the CTA to work every day, lots of people consider it way more convenient to drive rather than to train or bus it to work, especially if they don't live close to a stop. Does it really matter what his reasons are?
At best, we could hope that if he needs/wants to see how commuter conditions are, he could ride any of the routes at any time. But you know that if he needed info about a route, he'd make use of somebody who works for him, I mean, isn't that what underlings are for? I don't think that it would necessarily interfere with his ability to run the organization.
Would I like it better if he took the CTA to work every day? Sure. Would I ever in a million years expect him to? Nope.
I guess part of the point is that transit riders are subsidizing this lease, and that a vast majority of transit riders don't ride by choice, they ride by necessity. This conversation neglects to acknowledge that the majority of folks who ride cta don't have a car sitting at home for those days when they don't feel like riding. It sucks for everyone who has a family when a packed train breaks down or goes through construction, and Rodriguez should experience that. Beyond that, our transit fares still subsidize this lease. COME ON! If he needs a car that bad, he can get it his damn self on his more than ample paycheck.
He should be riding the CTA to work—to everywhere for that matter. He should have a gosh dang black CTA card.
Support your own company—for God's sake man! Part of being a leader is to be a role model and walk the talk…duh. Or in this case, ride the talk…
And pets are like kids (for some of us). You must be an angry person Mr. CTA Tattler. Go to yoga or something, why don't you ride the Blue Line there and let us know if you see Mr. President?
He needs to eat his own dog food and take the CTA.
I feel sad about Kevin O'Neil's post. Kevin — sometimes it isn't about what is best for your family, that option doesn't exist. It is what is best for the company you represent. The only thing I can take from this is — Richard Rodriguez does not believe in or support his agency and he endorses the use of cars instead of public transit. How nice it would be if we could all get a discount car lease and not have to worry about public transit, how nice it would be if we could spend more time with our family, how nice it would be if we publicly endorsed one thing for others, but not for ourselves…. what is that called? HYPOCRISY. Kevin — Shame on you, you have embarrassed every person who advocates for public transit.
This whole thing, for me, hinges on the quality of the time he's allegedly spending with his kids. If he's actually getting them dressed in the morning, making their breakfast, checking over their homework, driving them to school, asking them about their lives, etc., then sure, the car makes sense. If (as I suspect a busy city executive would spend his time) he's checking email, answering text messasges/voicemail, calling underlings about an emergency that seems to crop up daily on the CTA, etc., then screw him. Don't use your fucking kids as a shield or an excuse. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he's answering calls and responding to text messages while he drives his kids to school… if that's what he's doing.
But like I said, I don't actually have factual evidence that this is how he spends this alleged valuable time with his kids in the morning. So I can't fault him one way or the other…yet. Most of the heads of agencies I have met (and I worked for the city and state) usually hit the ground running from the time they get up, answering calls, getting things at the office ready for their day. Not that they don't have time for their kids, but they tended to leave early or at five on the dot to go him and presumably spend time with them then. I'd rather Mr. Rodriguez begin his day making the CTA safe for every OTHER kid who has to ride the bus to work, and take care of his kids at the end of the day.
I don't think we'd expect the CEO of McDonald's to eat a value meal for lunch everyday, and I don't think we should expect Rodriguez to ride the bus every morning. The important thing is that he would ride and has regularly ridden public transportation. I don't think that his understanding of its issues would be particularly enhanced by riding it everyday.
Riding the CTA is usually more time-consuming than driving–and that will always be the case, no matter how many improvements we make to the system, because that's the nature of communal transit. Rodriguez probably works much more than 40 hours per week, and I imagine he's basically on call all the time. Do you really begrudge someone who seems to be working pretty hard to improve the city's transit options an extra hour or so with his family?
Public transit is also less reliable than a car. Again, that's the nature of the beast. If he can get to the office earlier and spend more time working on the CTA instead of riding on it, isn't that a good thing?
His agency and his leadership of that agency would be crucial in any kind of disaster–do you really think he should take the El to the office in the middle of the night if something goes wrong?
Seems to me there are lots of reasons why the head of a major city agency should have access to a vehicle.
I agree with Kevin… time to take on some issues that mean something this is a crazy waste of time. Its always the same thing on here CTA, Homeless, or ADD.. look back to all the old topics there all about that. Time to move on and make a difference in the world insted of bitching about it..
It's been widely reported that Bloomberg hops in an SUV every morning that takes him to the Lex Ave. subway. And as much as you (and I) wish it were so, Chicago will never be NYC in terms of transit. Manhattan is the only place in the United States where owning a car is an expensive hassle. In Chicago, like it or not, not owning a car is an inconvenience and it limits where you can go within a reasonable amount of time.
One thing I have yet to read is where Rodriguez lives and where his kids go to school.
I ride the CTA to work every day.
I was going to write a long post and say why I thought your argument was a joke, but I'm not going to waste my time. Instead, I'll just never read your blog again. Go back to New York.
I take issue with Jamie's comment "that's the nature of the beast." The reason public transit is less reliable and slower than driving is simple: people don't want to give up their cars. We spend massive amounts of money building, expanding, and repairing highways, bridges, etc., but won't invest the resources needed to make public transit a better option than driving.
I traded my car for a transit card when I moved to Chicago seven years ago. I occasionally have to get in a cab because I need to get somewhere faster than a bus or train will take me. I would gladly take public transit all the time if I could, if for no other reason than that it's significantly cheaper than a cab. But that's not going to happen until drivers stop focusing on their cars.
If the powers-that-be spent more time using the services they're supposed to provide, eventually it would be more efficient to take public transit. It's like Mayor Daley pushing bicycles, but not spending enough time on one; if he did, we'd have safer streets for cyclists. (Not meaning to go off-topic…just another valid example.)
And this should not be made into a family issue. If you don't want to miss anything, then be a stay-at-home dad and home school your children. In the real world, parents miss things, and children get over it. I bet the Obama children aren't crying because their dad spends more time working than he does with them — it's "the nature of the beast."
I'll also step in and take issue with Mike (not Doyle)'s comments, "Time to move on and make a difference in the world insted [sic] of bitching about it."
I don't agree with every position that Mike D. has proffered on this blog (or elsewhere), but I will — as I have done in the past — defend his vocalism as a valid form of making a difference. Change doesn't come from being silent and accepting the status quo. Change comes from forcing our leaders to listen to our demands and make the necessary changes to get things done.
How else are we supposed to let them know that we're not happy with the way things are? How else are they supposed to know what we want (and elected) them to do? It's why pollsters and lobbyists are so powerful. Many bloggers are also lobbyists, just not the kind we're accustomed to. Get used to it, though — they have loud mouths, and more often than not, they gets things done.
After the lame, apologist approval of the CTA Tattler, I was happy to see *someone* refuses to accept this 'family time' nonsense.
Are we to accept that anyone & everyone who bears children has free pass to clog our streets and poison our air to avoid the inconveniences of kids on transit?
Plenty of parents and children *have* to rely on the CTA. They arrange their lives –the location of home, jobs, day care– around it. Why should the head of this agency be any different?
And what kind of "quality time" do you get with your kids while operating a motor-vehicle, anyway? You can't hold them or look at their drawings or pay them any level of proper attention.
Fix the CTA and everyone can spend some real quality time with their kids, *at home*, not cramming it into half-assed multitasking.
Mr. Rodriguez's refusal is a commercial for the constant failure of the CTA, his fault or not.
However, Mike, your video is just a rant.
Your dismissal of the very concept of "children" isn't going to win any votes –or break any gay-male stereotypes.
I turned it off when you devolved into name calling.
You've got too good a thing going here to waste an opportunity like this.
Mike Doyle,
You are aware that the mayor of NYC (who takes the subway to work) doesn't have kids, right? The comparison is not the same.
Also, you claimed on CTA Tattler that Rodriguez had never rode the CTA before he started his job which is flat out false? What say you about that?
Also, the fact that you compared kids to pets (I can't find the quote, but lots of people on this board mentioned it) shows just how juvenile you are.
