"Couldn't put it down..."
Incredibly researched and written account of Enron. I would venture to say this is the best non-fiction book I've ever listened to. It is written more like a novel and is very easy to listen to and follow. If you like a good scandal, you'll love this book!
This is a book I would recommend to anyone that is willing to listen. It captivates you from the very begining.
It was difficult to put down as soon as it got started.
When the numbers start flying, you have to be memorized! I was stuck in thought as to how something like this could fly by with none the wiser to the real motives of such crumby convoluted ideas.
The author does an excellent job unraveling this mystery and explaining it so everyone can understand. No special schooling needed for this book. Also have to give credit to the excellent narrator for this audio book. He makes it even more interesting.
Overall, my expectations were far surpassed and im very glad I had the opportunity to enjoy this book. It is a little lengthy but worth every minute.
"Truly riveting story that leaves no rock unturned"
The in-the-room experience that you typically don't get with non-fiction crime thrillers.
It feels genuine and thoroughly reconstructed.
Jeff Skilling was a particularly artful performance, from the high-powered successful corporate young gun to exhausted, pensive and depressed convict.
Corporate hubris and demise
"Best Enron related book I have come across."
I am not even waiting until I finish this book to write this review. We already know how the story ended!
This book, in my estimation, is a spellbinding unwrapping of all the events, large and small, that meshed to create the disaster that was Enron.Having worked for a major global corporation for 25 years myself during the same time period that Enron's business environment was evolving, what with the lack of central controls and the general confusion that prevailed, along with, I might add, the free reign that some new hires who were seen as "young geniuses" were given, I identified strongly with this book's description of the events that culminated in total collapse of not just the business, but countless lives and fortunes that were destroyed as a result. Many of us at my company were experiencing the same fright and uncertainty that plagued many of Enron's and other corporations' employees during that intense period, when the structures we had helped to build were blasted away with seemingly not a thought given to the consequences. I worked in accounting, so it all comes across as very real to me.
While this book does mainly break down the more complicated aspects of the financial constructs coming to life within Enron at the time, I will admit that a certain minor percentage of these are still not clear to me. (And never were to Enron, I believe.) But mainly, the book does make clear most of the events and their settings that caused the ruination of Enron. And to no one's surprise, I imagine, your basic unbridled greed was underlying the entire course of events.
The narration of this book is excellent. I have not encountered any irritations with it. The way it is read allows the listener to not even pay attention to the narration, but just to actually be a part of the action. This is as it should be.
There have been many books on this same topic; I have read some of them and did not even finish a couple, due to the way the material was treated. Because general corporate accounting is a foreign language to an average person on the street, the subject has to be made both understandable and most importantly, interesting, objectives hard to attain. This book definitely meets that challenge.
It also provides a realistic acquaintance for the listener with the characters involved, on a personal basis. This is important in understanding the motivations of characters who veered so far off course.
To my taste, this book accomplishes both of the above objectives better than any other I have read on this topic. It is a very long listen, 20-some hours. But that only serves to extend the pleasure of listening.
I believe very few listeners would be disappointed in this excellent book.
"better than fiction... could make this stuff up..."
great insight, put together in very engaging way, scary reality
very good at captivating me
scary what can happen when greed takes over...
"Interesting take on the Enron debaucle"
Compelling take on the Enron disaster. The author makes complex financial issues easy to understand. He seems to give Jeff Skilling and Ken Lay more of a pass than they probably deserve. I'm listening to The Smartest Guys in the Room to get another perspective on the issues. Both books together give a more full picture of why what happened did.
"Be prepared"
Not having much of a business background and unfamiliar with the jargon used on Wall Street I felt unprepared. Just a word of caution to those in a similar place as mine.
Not assume that everyone knows financial acronyms and jargon.
"Loved this book!"
I've listened to this several times. Enjoyable and instuctive. Should be required reading for all business owners :)
"Enjoyed it !!"
The book was thoroughly enjoyable!! but it felt like fiction with good and bad guys... mostly bad greedy guys !! but loved it !!
"Made me an Addict"
This was the book that started me listening to books. What a great story. The complexity is more manageable when it's read TO you - if I had seen the book on a shelf, I would never have picked it up. The book makes commuting fun.

Streamlined secondary and tertiary crushing McLanahan Corp. expanded its product line to include cone crushers. Capable of secondary, tertiary, and quater- nary crushing, the units feature top-down maintenance. Safe unblocking is also engineered into the cone, with no need to dig it out when stalled. Simply press a button to open and restart when fully opened. Streamlined design features include an all-roller bearing design, simple hydraulic controls, and easy manganese changes. McLanahan Corp. | www.mclanahan.com Dual crushing options Sandvik Construction continued to expand its Prisec line with the introduction of the CI531 primary and CI532 secondary Prisec 3 horizontal shaft impact crushers. As with the rest of the product line, the HSI crushers can be configured into either a primary or secondary crushing mode. In addition, single-stage crushing is also an option with the ability to recirculate material to the primary versions of the crushers. A new crushing chamber design is said to allow for impressive reduction ratios through the use of two uniquely designed curtains, which have traditionally required a three-curtain configuration crusher. The maximum feed size is 39 inches in the primary configuration and just under 14 inches in secondary operation. Throughput ranges from 441 to 772 tons per hour as a primary and 276 to 441 tons per hour as a secondary. Sandvik Construction | www.construction.sandvik.com Highest-in-class crushing force With 402-horsepower performance and a crushing capacity output range of 150 to 600 tons per hour, Telsmith says its T400 Cone Crusher boasts the largest-in-class clearing stroke and highest-in-class crushing force. The cone features a large clearing circuit, which is engineered to safely and quickly allow any uncrushable material to pass. With a maximum feed opening of 12 inches, it has a 52-inch diameter head and a 55-inch receiving hopper. The crusher uses a single bowl for all liners over its range of operation. It also features a new and improved patent-pending anti-spin feature that prevents head spin to extend manganese life. A patent-pending concave (bowl liner) retention system achieves retention without the use of hammers or hand tools. The unit also features the largest-in-class, patent-pending hybrid bearings. The bearings feature a washer and ramp design that replaces the conventional use of a socket, socket liner, and head ball. They not only streamline service, but also offer both static and dynamic lift to efficiently carry the crushing forces. Telsmith | www.telsmith.com Steep feed angle, fewer parts Metso introduces the Nordberg NP15 impact crusher, designed for secondary and tertiary crushing applications. It features a steeper feed angle to improve crushing efficiency and produce more end product with less recirculation load. It accepts feed material up to 15 3/4 inches and can be equipped with a 476-horsepower motor on a single drive. Its maximum throughput capacity is up to 12 percent bigger than the existing NP1315 impact crusher. The number of different side-liners has been cut nearly in half, compared to its predecessor, with only seven different liners. The IC2000 NP Automation system gives accurate control of the crusher parameters for a high-quality product and improved plant profitability. A wide range of blow-bar options is available to ensure the tool matches the abrasiveness of the material. A new two-part rear frame offers easy and safe access for main- tenance. A removable breaker plate cassette ensures safe changes of breaker plate liners, while a maintenance bridge offers safe and easy access to both the highest side-liners and the rotor. A patented Self Rotation Rotor is the centralized point for adjusting the settings and changing the blow bars. Metso | www.metso.com

Austin-East girls' basketball coach Eric Brabson, who led the Lady Roadrunners to the Class AA state championship in 2007, will not be back next school year as coach or teacher.
With the restructuring of A-E, all teachers went through a re-interview process. Brabson, certified in social studies, did not make the new faculty lineup and was placed at South-Doyle Middle School.
Brabson said he doesn't know why he was not "retained."
"I have not gotten the answer from anybody," he said. "Downtown won't tell me. The new administration, none of them will tell me why.
"I am certified in social studies. I mainly teach U.S. History (at A-E). But I have some excellent test scores. I really don't know why."

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!

I'm trying to create a Subordinate CA in EJBCA that's signed by an external CA. I'm running into trouble with the X509v3 extensions, specifically that the Basic Constraint is set to "CA:FALSE" instead of "CA:TRUE". I've outlined the problem in more detail about the use case and discovery in this thread on server fault (http://serverfault.com/questions/486798/openssl-invalid-ca-certificate), but the short summary is that OpenSSL and by extension OpenVPN don't trust the certificate chain.
To reproduce this, I've created a test CA on my laptop using openssl commands. I then created a Subordinate CA in EJBCA, changing only the DN, setting "Signed By" to "External", and generated the certificate request. The resulting CSR looks like:
Certificate Details: Serial Number: 1 (0x1) Validity Not Before: Mar 12 14:26:23 2013 GMT Not After : Mar 12 14:26:23 2014 GMT Subject: commonName = TestSubCA1 X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Comment: OpenSSL Generated Certificate X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: A3:8C:25:CE:2C:D2:55:F4:9F:C5:7F:FB:F3:7C:03:A0:CE:26:68:FF X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:DC:9A:0A:30:E2:B9:DB:41:59:EB:8C:F6:70:EB:4D:54:E1:00:D7:6F
and it shows "CA:FALSE" which I believe is the culprit. I've also imported the CA's certificate into EJBCA and attempted to create a subordinate CA, setting the "Signed By" field to that CA and using an appropriate certificate profile that has the newly imported CA associated, and it fails saying that the CA is not active.
Any idea on how to make this work?
(editted for formatting)
I do not believe that request was generated by EJBCA. EJBCA do not generate CSRs with "OpenSSL Generated Certificate". This issomething else you have found on your disc.
I explicitly created the Subordinate CA, and saved the resulting CSR PEM file in my test directory, and then ran the openssl commands on it. I'm confident that this is the correct file from EJBCA that I'm using. I've just repeated it again making 100% sure the CSR I'm downloading via the "Download PEM file" after the request is made, is the same one that I'm using, with the same results. Why the "OpenSSL Generated Certificate" bit is in there, I don't know... could it be because the original root CA was generated by OpenSSL?
The reason I have a hard time following is that when I do the same:
Edit Certificate Authorities->Enter "SignedByExternal"->Select "Signed By external"->Click create certificate request->Click download PEM File.
I get a file looking like:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIICXDCCAUQCAQAwFzEVMBMGA1UEAwwMVGVzdEV4dGVybmFsMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG 9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAyDBV2WY99ogQTt2WEh10AUczD0YslfJ7rWMJ X2KR6OXSW7j4ZznzW974WNdKc3Iuf1/mMv+cU25NQXxJOOaY9cQZ2MXeeqZ0d3PA 6LdYEG4Ai6Ro0SON8VS8hYuEk3s99zGMT9VhV0lmz4rOE2Xlx8tihB4G1fjX5N0B nmCFT0bUi6YelaWlO4UBJjY6fWFFSvusSuTaEBhACaePibBvAJGg9PVD8kneL3Yz zb+arY0qOCbJVf3UtFWJ6eS/QKy6pFGbc4OINZvPzR8RveIMCi2fgTUPEIm4LROZ aKFiIh4DkWIhqV55em/eAdjDROjJNaCO8+l93iGlOCf0E5WKaQIDAQABoAAwDQYJ KoZIhvcNAQEFBQADggEBABPRq5P6d8AWp2GQn8SrgmGsbyjrckpW4GK2FY8XCJAD 8gK+/KY9cILh0TwstriVrJH4E3X6oyjqi+ClJjg+wdhNClNEvaLqPtmCUJC1Ekk4 ljwLmyqysbP5grjyytLIX7xFjn7axWz+IFuLZ+3fPxAJmcGmKSCbL9QmGU2XDANd BDgJtXhpZtlUplcYWGypxmThZGUhT47XLoJHkBQVvmq5jZyLDGcDOmbNHooXdITT iaapMmOPMogQ4l7XWalZwlNMQ/l/a/ZsdnKCwo43GNli/2RRbYvRL/uJdF6IKXlX fvCRWnZ22FwPyuL5tljBk2fDDXuwDc5zHJc5kyOxp44= -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

Ah, my bad, I confused the issue. The output I have in the original post starting with "Certificate Details" is actually the output of openssl when signing the csr, using the command:
openssl ca -in csr.pem -out signedcert.pem -keyfile cakey.pem -cert cacert.pem -config conf/ca.conf
The output of, equivalent to what you just posted:
openssl req -in csr.pem -text
is as follows:

Hope that helps. Any ideas?
Yeah then it is easy. It is all in your openssl configuration. It has nothing to do with the request. You configure openssl to create your certificate in the right way.
don't ask me for a good openssl configuration though, because that I do not know without spending too much time experimenting.
Michael Hart
To bring this to closure, the root CA created by openssl had this in the config file (with only the bits that caused this issue showing):
[ ca ] default_ca = CA_default [ CA_default ] x509_extensions = usr_cert [ usr_cert ] basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
My interpretation of what happened is when I setup the Subordinate CA in EJBCA and then signed it the root cert using this config file, the certificate was signed with CA:FALSE set, meaning it wasn't a CA cert. EJBCA allowed it anyway (should it? not sure) and that caused the grief.
The fix? Change CA:FALSE to CA:TRUE, revoke the Subordinate CA and sign the new CSR.
Thanks for your help!

DEFINITION of 'Economic Spread'
1. A performance metric that is equal to the difference between a company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and its return on invested capital (ROIC).
2. The difference between the real rate of return on an investment and the rate of inflation in the economy.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Economic Spread'
1. Economic spread is a measure of a company's ability to make money on its investments. If the cost of capital exceeds the return on invested capital, the company is losing money: what the company is doing with the capital is not providing enough to cover the cost of borrowing or using it.
2. Economic spread is important for evaluating the returns of a pension plan. The value of its invested funds may be increasing at what seems to be a acceptable level, but if the invested capital is not growing at a rate above inflation, the investment is actually losing its value on an annual basis. This nominal loss results from the fact that the invested capital will not be able to buy as much for the investor in the future as it can in the present time.

We take a short detour at Mixtape Mondays today to bring you a world premiere from three heavy-hitting selectors in the game, each holding it down for the ladies and dancehall in a big way. London, Toronto and Jamaica are the focus here, as well as a final salute to summer. Too blessed to be stressed pon a Monday…
Words by DJ Theory —
With Notting Hill Carnival coming to a close and NYC's West Indian Day Parade on the horizon, there's no shortage of mixes and vibes to be had this time of year. Here's a few of our picks in the mixtape department to get you whining and raving in record time.
Words by DJ Theory
Welcome back to reality! Hopefully you had a warm and blessed holiday with your family or loved ones. As 2011 comes to a close, Mixtape Mondays is bubbling into the New Year with some quality dancehall roundups and more tropical heat from Miami, Sweden, London and The Bay. For those who have the day off, feel free to whine up to these mixes in your house robe and slippers—and if you gotta work today well, hopefully, these will help your day suck much less. Hit those play and download buttons after the jump and leggo.

Shimmy Shimmy blogger, No Ice Cream Sound editor and Selectress extraordinaire (not to mention LargeUp homegirl) Suze Webb was featured in Time Out London this week, along with her friends and collaborators Siobhan Jones and Karen Cazabon. Known professionally as The Large, Why Delila and Kazabon, respectively, the three female selectors have joined forces into an all-girl army of king fu killers known simply as Style & Swagger. As such they are clearly a force to be reckoned with in the London underground, putting their own distinctive spin on dancehall, soca–and tropical music generally–at club nights like Physically Fit and Hipsters Don't Dance. Come to find out the three were linked by LargeUp UK correspondent Gabriel Heatwave, a tastemaker (and apparently, Queen-maker) in the UK bashment sphere. We put a few of our favorite quotes after the jump, but read the full article at TOL–and look for more big things from this trio in the near future.

PowerCloud Systems, Inc. Key Developments
PowerCloud Systems announced that Skydog(TM), a combination smart Wi-Fi router and Web application, is now available to the general public. Skydog gives families coping with an overload of devices and Internet applications unprecedented visibility into, and management over, their home network so that they can take control of their connected lives. Skydog had a successful Kickstarter campaign in Spring 2013 and now has more than 1,000 users and glowing reviews. Compounding parenting challenges are performance problems associated with bandwidth-intensive applications like gaming and streaming media, as well as a constant influx of new connected devices and Internet security threats. Taken together, these issues present multi-faceted demands on the home network that didn't exist in the past. Skydog represents an entirely new way of managing the home network that is powerful, simple, and affordable. By leveraging the cloud and patented technologies, Skydog provides a level of visibility and control that goes far beyond any other router-based solution. For example, typical router solutions address parental control by enforcing a single, common set of policies across every device in the house. In comparison, Skydog allows for a unique set of policies for each individual user across all of their devices. Skydog delivers five key benefits to dramatically improve the entire family's Internet experience: - Know What is Happening on the Network. Skydog provides unparalleled visibility into how the Internet is being used at home. With its unique ability to group devices by user, Skydog makes it easy to keep a watchful eye across all kids' devices and help them manage work and play by keeping their Internet usage balanced. Skydog lets see what websites are being visited, and create a watchlist of key sites for each user. - Protect Kids and Empower Smart Choices: Skydog includes robust filters that allows to easily choose how much access to the Internet is appropriate for each user, including the ability to set weekly schedules for each user, allowing parents to specify when kids can be online and their level of Web access during those periods. With Skydog, time spent on gaming and social networking sites can be limited during school days, and the Internet turned off at bedtime. Skydog makes it easy to help kids develop good habits about their time spent online by sending them real-time notifications when they are about to hit their time limits. - Stay Connected Anytime, Anywhere: The Skydog Web App is managed through the cloud and accessible from any connected device, so parents can stay connected to their home network in real time, no matter where they are. Skydog can send notifications via text message or email when broadband service is down, an unexpected guest logs into the home network or even when time limits for Internet use have been exceeded. - Protect the Network and its Users: Skydog contains powerful and continually updated filters to block malware to keep every device on the network safe from the outside. Skydog also protects from the inside, with firewalled zones that let separate users within the home network. With Skydog, a home office can be in one zone, family devices in another, and guest access in a third, ensuring that private data stays private. - Optimize Performance for Each Family: Skydog makes it easy to allocate bandwidth between zones, or among users and devices according to a schedule or on the fly. With Skydog, one can decide if a Skype call takes priority over a child's streaming music, or ensure that a family-night streaming movie doesn't stutter because of a high-bandwidth game being played in another room. The new Skydog version 1.1 being announced now incorporates feedback from Kickstarter users, adding new functionality, including more granular parental controls and an improved user interface for mobile devices. Skydog is available to the general public at Amazon.com for $149.00. This price includes a one-year cloud service subscription. For a limited time, Skydog will include two additional years of subscription free with every purchase. PowerCloud will also offer a Skydog range extender in late fourth quarter.
PowerCloud Systems announced it has integrated application and analytics functionality into the company's CloudCommand Wi-Fi Platform. By seamlessly integrating social marketing, customer engagement and analytics solutions from leading technology partners such as Cloud4Wi and Swarm, PowerCloud has made advanced mobile marketing services affordable for almost any business and has transformed plain Wi-Fi connectivity into a platform for revenue-generating services. The Cloud4Wi splash portal offers a rich, custom multimedia channel delivering information and services across any mobile device. Portal services can be content-driven, marketing-focused or authentication-based. The expanding set of web apps and services can be dynamically activated on the portal to enhance end-users' experience and provide effective monetization tools or customer intelligence. PowerCloud Systems has also integrated a presence API into the CloudCommand platform and partnered with Swarm Mobile. Swarm's engine leverages PowerCloud's Wi-Fi data on mobile devices present in a business to provide a suite of presence analytics. Swarm combines presence analytics with transaction data to provide actionable information and marketing services to retail and hospitality operators. In addition, Swarm provides features to engage customers on a 1-to-1 basis, increasing spend and loyalty.
PowerCloud Systems announced TenantWiFiÔ, to deliver a private network to individuals or businesses in shared spaces. Delivered via the PowerCloud Systems CloudCommand™ platform, this solution is ideal for apartment complexes, hospitality properties and multi-tenant retail sites such as malls. It is intended for deployments where multiple individual parties demand their own private networks but where a shared public access infrastructure makes sense for cost and roaming service reasons. The TenantWiFi solution augments the company's existing WLAN-as-a-Service offerings. PowerCloud Systems specializes in providing enterprise-class Wi-Fi using the cloud to deliver intelligence, security and control to a network of access points without the need for an expensive, on-site controller. Not only does this approach reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an enterprise-class Wi-Fi network through affordable devices and efficient remote management, but it also vastly speeds deployment, since PowerCloud's access points use zero-touch configuration. TenantWiFi is a particularly compelling proposition for MDUs, as well as for hospitality and multi-tenant retail environments. With PowerCloud Systems' TenantWiFi technology, each "tenant" gets a personalized, independent and secure virtual network, making internal file sharing, printing, and access to common resources possible, just as if each had a full-scale infrastructure installed on their premise, but without the cost and complexity or even the need to manage it. Each virtual network is completely firewalled and segregated from all other tenants and has its own custom Internet bandwidth guaranteed, regardless of the bandwidth used by their neighbor. For the IT service vendor or managed service provider, TenantWiFi means delivering a private, high-value wireless solution for many individual entities using an affordable, easy to manage infrastructure. The PowerCloud CloudCommand platform includes MSPviewÔ, a multi-network dashboard specifically designed for channel partners. This model delivers significant benefits for multiple customer scenarios.

Ok great. Now how about a real goal scorer as a prospect.
@genetics73 generally i agree with you. Fans though have really piled on some guys like Rod Seiling in the 70's. I have no issue though with fans giving it to the organization. Its not like the team has won multiple cups or have been annual contenders. My guess is that the fans fans won't boo this player unless his well below expectations type of play goes on for quite a while. Lets say after about 15-20 home games and a losing record.
@AveryYesBettmanNo I think Stepan is a very solid player but i must agree with you. He is not elite and will command 6MM + in a salary cap league and that will help wreck the cap. Too soon to complain though since we have another year to go and this one did not start yet..but your point is made.
At some point irrespective of the math (and I know something about math), you have to stick up for yourself. Do we want a repeat of the game in Vancouver where the whole bench was called out? The regular season produces situations where you have to hit back. And i recall that Ottawa and Washington nearly pounded the rangers into submission with inferior teams a couple of years ago. Now is Glass the answer? maybe not but someone has to be. So all your analysis is good but the Rangers still needed some physical presence. Lastly the Rangers received a 3rd round pick i think for Dorsett. a much needed pick given all the picks Sather has traded. So that counts for something.
@Josh-CK @IhateGaborik @Gorangers0525 @BobDunne @betweentheworlds How can we give up another 2nd when we will have no first again , lost one this year and lost 1st and 2nd last year..Enough with the draft picks..
@Gorangers0525 Would be just like Sather to get rid of exactly what we dont have and that is a really tough Dman..so there goes Mcilrath..
Not in favor of trading Hagelin.. He was very involved and created some big mismatches with his speed.
@GregB1919 @IhateGaborik @fs2020 Have to agree with you. He is not elite and if the rangers feel that they can replace him then he can bring back a decent player in a deal. Perhaps a package deal. Cannot Trade Hagelin though. He sure showed up in the playoffs ...
@ivanricov I dont believe he is the second best d man and he has trouble with break out. Hard to trade him since he is a top 4 d man but he will want big money and does not do the things McD does or an offensive dman does to command the big bucks. Cannot pay him anything over 5MM per year and that is high for 14 points per year. I do think he can bring back a good forward in return.
Signing depth at defense signals that there is little coming up through the pipeline just like we
all thought..
Carter would be fine pick up. You mention making room for kids but all those kids (Fast, bourque etc.) do not possess the size toughness that a fourth line warrants. Cannot have the whole team be smallish.
Well you got that right.. a shutout in game 6
@Say my Name The worst trade the Rangers ever made though was trading Rick Middleton..my god..
Would not have helped if Billy Smith was mic'd up during the Isles run..
That was not really any clarification. He lumped Miller in with 95% of other young players. Something triggered it and AV is not telling and that is his right.
Must admit i was wrong about Pouliot. His points per game the last 50 games has been very good. I
think he could stand to have better puck control but all in all he is scoring and this team needs it. Hope he does not disappear against Philly.
@Carbomb Time @Josh-CKThis is true. Chicago can stick up for themselves. Many of us have been calling for toughness for the Rangers and i still do. What is not being said is that the Rangers don't need 3 and 4 tough guys like the Bruins..just someone (1) bigger player that will stick up for the other guys. Backas and Bickel do it for their teams..Once again Staal takes a late hit from Neil. That guy has been running the Rangers for 2 + seasons with very little backlash. Staal did not after him but that is not the same as have a deterrent. You just wont win consistently with all smaller players.
It is great to have defensive depth. But i don't see it as replacing a top 2 dman with another top 2. A bit of a stretch there.. BTW. Another night (Colorado) where team plays pretty well and tough guys from other teams taking liberties..and they all seem to be taking some shots at the Ranger's Dmen
@Chris M It does no use to rant, although i will too. This is MSG and its all about spin. Almost as bad as trying to get the Mets to spend money or the Jets to get a free agent. In this case though the majority of fans on this blog are correct . Need to be more aggressive especially when the score is on your side.
@gravey94 Understand your point and having Graves and Lucic types would be a deterrent and make a huge difference. But the overall point is that the Rangers do not scare anyone.. Even with Lucic the Bruins still have Chara and Thornton while Marchand goes around sticking everyone. This has been going on for too long now that there is no one to stick up for the all stars or smaller players on the Rangers.
@JoeyKocur You are sooo correct. This team needs to start fighting back and soon
@Purinton You are correct, but there are always the do-gooders who scream about retaliation etc. The Rangers took enough crap from Ottawa, Washington and Boston over the last few years in the playoffs and it has worn them down. Sather needs to occasionally focus on dishing it out a bit with guys a little bigger than Dorsett and Carcillo.
@mlsranger Look even Bobby Orr has said on more than one occasion that you need to have a tough guy or 2 to make sure things do not get out of hand. Many Ranger fans just want the deterrent out there. Not necessarily to start things but to end them. What good does it do the Rangers to have Burrows suspended? In fact in could hurt them if Canucks had to play one of the Rangers rivals. it is Ok and necessary to have suspensions and the league needs to worry about safety..but if the league is going to go full in and play the euro style they may have to develop many new millions of fans. Bottom line is that a little old time hockey with 40 seconds to play was completely called for then.. and guys like Dave Maloney would have been praising it had it happened.
Why is the author baffled? When have the Rangers really dropped the gloves all year? It was a major event when Nash dropped them two weeks ago. This team has played well but soft for most of the year. You Cannot Cannot have your all star dman take a hit like that with no retaliation. The game was over. If not then, when to retaliate? Next year? This is all on Sather and AV. Sather does not get any size and I'm sure that AV would not use that size. I know that the Rangers are now effectively rolling 4 lines but there will be no hope with injuries to key people and the Flyers, Canucks and lately other teams have been targeting MCD. Look at the slash at the end of the flyers game. You can bet that if Giroux or Crosby or Bergeron took that hit there would be retribution. Girardi elbowed burrow to the back of the neck and that was that as the refs moved in. But if you really wanted to retaliate it only takes 3 seconds and the refs would have no chance to get in there.
@scrangersfan @JMK8363 To add to what i just wrote. I do like that Dave M understands that players have to play it tough though..Others shy away from that talk.
@scrangersfan @JMK8363 Respect your opinion but As much as I like Dave, he does not appear as if he prepares or communicates that well. Problem with Joe is that he is vanilla. At least we knew where we stood with the Big Whistle..
I am starting to think that if the trading partner is really in the conference then Ottawa makes sense. Neal also makes sense, but as you point out it has to be larger than just Neal.
As long as Kreider is not included in any trade. That would be out of left field, i know and i would finally be done with them. Spezza does not have grit and St Louis does not fit that bill exactly but i dont see why ranger fans would not like that deal. Paciorettty has size but not really grit. Hartnell does have grit but his production has been way off and what makes him a topline player? Jagr, Ruttu and Michalek would be big disappointments for ranger fans and Simmonds makes no sense for Flyers. And please...no Detroit players. the 1 for 1 part makes it tough to figure. So lets go with St. Louis or Paciortty for now.
What would Staal be worth in a trade or does his injury history make him nearly "untradeable". I think a guy like Callahan needs to stay though. He makes a difference on the ice, is versatile and plays a full game, end to end.
@PenaltySh0t Prust is a much tougher fighter than Dorsett.
Despite Dorsett's willingness this team needs to get a bit tougher. Been Saying that for 6 months... Sather has to do something here.
@McIlrath That would change things a bit for the better. Watch how more effect the first three lines are. the 4th liners dont play that much anyway so why not at least let them have a role. Pyatt and Pouliot are not 4th line players. Pyatt is likely a 3rd line checker and we dont know what Pouliot is.
@NYR44 So the Rangers will just let Boston push them around a bit. What is it with these moves? 20 Games in and the fans get it but management does not. Mashinter should get a chance. Pouliot has had 1/4 of a season and has done nothing. and now we know why Blue Jackets traded Brassard. Our fourth line should be set up to change flow, provide energy, etc and yet we have basically 3rd liners that cannot score comprising the 4th line.
Also teams are starting to target Kreider. They know he is being very effective and they will start to slow him down or take him off the ice. What is it going to take to protect the guys? More Concussions?
I think you are correct. Having said that i still rather see Ike in the system one more time as opposed to Duda. I understand that watching him on opening day go 0-3 and 2K's will be miserable..but get him a tutor/mentor or whatever is required to get his head straight. I can see him blasting 30 for an AL team next year (albeit with 160 K's).
Sure is a collective sigh of relief. Was thinking that somehow the Flyers were going to figure out a way to get Bickel or Mashinter. Still need some size and toughness on the home club as Their AHL team is plenty tough already
@jslnyr1102 lets hope so... Sather has not done well with free agency nor has he drafted spectacularly... He has made some decent trades that enabled him to recover from his other bad moves. I do hope MciLrath produces and gets the chance.
@AG_Blue @hankthetank30 Respect your opinion but i dont think he is great along the boards. Hagelin does as much on the boards and then does something with the puck... He does a days work i guess
@josh930 @IcyCup @jasonshyer agree that he should be and do more, but that does not mean you get rid of him unless you get something decent back. The problem is that we dont get power forwards on this team too often. There are several other players on this team who do less..and MDZ is not one of them.
@RangersVW14 agree. lets see what this guy can really do.. He needs to stay and send down powe and pyatt
@Rangers3024 That seems to be he pattern. The coach just did not trust the tough players with any significant minutes so we keep losing the tougher players to free agency or trades. Now we may not need an "enforcer" these days but we do need some size/toughness combination.
@johnnyb3910 @KevinDeLury @cb1 I agree. We need a slightly large Asham as Dorsett is a different kind of player
@EHBIGAPPLE @Betweentheworlds i think incorrect, HR types are not in the business of downsizing themselves in the corporate world. They are responsible for downsizing everyone else.
Not enough size drafted at the forward position as usual..
@Richard Falconer Agree.. enough already. Many teams have dmen on their team with less than three years in the minors.. Either play him or admit another draft mistake.
MDZ deserves better than what is written about him. He gets no protection gets hit often and still keeps going. I would say that if he played in Boston he would flourish. Lets give this guy a break especially since we have 2 star dmen down in Sauer and Staal.
@KevinDeLury @Josh6 Strange that they say separated when i guess they mean dislocating. I did this 13 times over 20 years until surgery..no idea how they played with it. THe fact that they did it so many times in one year suggests that unfortunately they should not have been playing
Why must the Rangers overpay for everything. Really, the new head coach had to get the rumored 5 years? and Richards had to get a contract that extends until his social security kicks in? These guys would not come for a little less? This is why ticket prices never move downward. Having said that, Messier should be in the front office and take Sather's spot as soon as feasible.
@JustinRP37 Maybe they wont win next year but we fired a solid coach in the early nineties and hired Keenan and won. I know we had some great players then..but just saying that there is precedent in losing the coach and then winning the next year. Also Sather will have his hands full in buying out and then replacing Richards...
@Hotfreak @mdspwt I agree with you. WIth a better offensive system Hagelin will do better. For a small guy he does come away with the puck more often than most. I am not a big Zuc fan and forget about Powe. Richards will be an interesting story. And the crap that the Rangers endure from Lucic and Orpik and Neil cannot happen. I still think that The coach held back the tougher players in the playoffs and that hurt them, especially last year when Neil ran wild. And What good are tough players if they dont play? Neil plays, all the Boston tough guys play and our guys sit or get traded or let go.. I hope that Sather is thinking in this direction. I think JT was a solid coach but a change was needed.
@nick13 True, but if they dont win then you need to look at decisions that were made. Been looking at this now for a very long time and it is rare that the rangers take the physical play or at least the overall flow of the game to the other team. They did this in the early nineties (before they won the cup) and and for long periods of time did this last year.(not in the playoffs so much though) .but it is few and far between and you can have only so many soft players.

Powered By Janome: Sewcial Lounge
You can purchase your modern fabric and then sit right down at a Janome to make your project.
Sara Myers always dreamed of opening a fabric shop and sewing lounge. But a successful career in the financial services industry left her little time to start another business. Finally, she realized if she was ever going to see her dream come true, she was going to need to quit the corporate world – a risky venture these days.
But she did it. And in the summer of 2011 opened The Sewcial Lounge in Madison, WI. It's a modern fabric shop and sewing lounge that caters to the new, young generation of creative sewists. Unlike traditional fabric stores, which offer the entire spectrum of available fabric, Sara's shop carries a focused collection of hip, colorful fabric. Instead of a sea of notions, the lounge has a sleek, minimalist interior that is well-organized and devoid of clutter.
The back half of the store is the instructional realm where customers can rent a sewing machine or serger by the hour and also take classes. It's a place to hang out with friends and sew on a Janome.
Because she's found them so reliable for all skill levels, Sara has six Janome DC1050 computerized sewing machines, five at the store and one at home for her personal use.
"The pre-sets for the stitches (length/width) allow beginners to focus on their skills instead of having to constantly adjust those when changing stitches. I also LOVE the 02 stitch that automatically does the backstitching at the beginning for you and then you only have to hit the reverse button once at the end and not hold it down. I am obsessed with that feature."
Sara also loves the one step button hole function. She says some machines claim to have this but then they never properly work. "The one on this machine never causes any problems and makes a perfect buttonhole every time I use it!"
If you're in the Madison area, be sure to stop in and experience the new way to enjoy sewing.

New Video: The Three Bobbin Cases On The MC12000
These color-coded cases are designed to give you better results in various sewing applications.
Correct bobbin tension is so important for precise stitching. So it makes sense that you can get different Janome bobbin cases fine-tuned to Free Motion Quilting or appliqué or embroidery.
The Horizon Memory Craft 12000 can use three different bobbin cases, depending on the kind of sewing you want to do. They're each color-coded with a little dot so you can easily tell them apart.
Yellow Bobbin Case - Embroidery And Variable Zigzag
The yellow bobbin case comes standard with the Memory Craft 12000 and has a higher tension. It's used for embroidery and variable zig zag stitching. It can also be used for finer threads in the bobbin, when you need more tension on the thread.
Red Bobbin Case - Everyday Sewing
The red bobbin case is our standard bobbin case, and is included with all Janome sewing machines. It can be used for everyday sewing.
Blue Bobbin Case - Free Motion Quilting
The blue bobbin case has a looser tension and is designed for free motion quilting. This case can also be used for a heavier thread in the bobbin, like floss, or whenever you want a looser tension on your bobbin thread. The blue bobbin case is available for Janome sewing machines that have thread cutters, as well as those that do not.
To see these different bobbin cases demonstrated on the MC12000 watch the video Bobbin Cases: Choosing The Right Bobbin Case.
Then be sure to watch the other feet and accessory videos on our Accessory Videos page.
Find out more about the best bobbin case for your favorite sewing application at your local authorized Janome Dealer.
Welcome to Angela Walters, Free Motion Quilter, Our Newest Janome Friend
"If it can be done, it can be learned." Words to live by from FMQ expert, and new Janome gal, Angela Walters.
We are extremely proud to introduce you to our newest Janome America friend, Angela Walters. We met Angela through our sponsorship of Sew4Home.com, and we were immediately captivated by her amazing free motion quilting work.
Angela normally uses a long arm machine, but is excited to be able to translate her skills into the world of Janome's sewing, quilting and/or embroidery machines, such as the Horizon 7700QCP, the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition, the Memory Craft 6600P, and the brand new Horizon Memory Craft 12000. In fact, Angela claims there are many things that you can do on a traditional sewing machine that you simply can't do on a long arm.
Stay tuned over the next few months as we turn to Angela for tips on how to decide the best quilting shapes to fit your piecing, how to balance density with open space, and how to "go with the flow" and make the most of the freedom of free motion quilting.
Angela has a brand new book coming out as well: Free-Motion Quilting with Angela Walters, which is available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
You can follow Angela on her blog, Quilting is My Therapy.
Janome Heritage: Deluxe Model NLC
"NEW-HOME brings you Nevr-Clog and the miracle of tangle-free sewing!"
OK, so that was big sewing news from 60-odd years ago. But it was an important feature for sewists reading Life Magazine back in 1951.
This great vintage ad for the New Home Deluxe Model NLC says, "Now you can sew on and off your material, over pins and seams, foward and reverse, with any stitch at any speed--all without tangled bobbin threads and skipped stitches."
Actually that sounds pretty good for any sewing machine. The NLC had a very strong body and sturdy gear system, making it possible to sew on any kind of material. It did have only one stitch--straight--but you could use it to do many different techniques with a number of different attachments. Clothing was much more expensive back in the 50s and a good sewing machine could quickly pay for itself.
Promotional copy from another NLC ad says: "New features make your sewing smoothest, easiest ever. You get full rotary sewing, gear drive, thread-tension and stitch-length controls, wide range of speeds, sewing light and many more."
Today, if you want a sturdy Janome sewing machine with a metal body and basic stitches, try the HD1000. Or if you want the same sturdy construction with more stitches, try the HD3000. See both of them at your local Janome Dealer.
February is National Embroidery Month; Celebrate With This Stylish Pillow Project
Celebrate Embroidery with a great project and Digitizer MBX.
One of our favorite things about embroidery is the way it can set free your creativity. With Digitizer MBX software, you can design nearly anything and then stitch it on your Janome Embroidery machine.
The Tile Motif Pillow is a perfect example of the easy power of digitizer. We based this design on a designer pillow we found online. Learn how to re-create the design with the Offset Border Tool found in Digitizer MBX. This pillow was designed for the Horizon Memory Craft 12000, but you can design it for and stitch it on any Janome Embroidery machine.
If you're new to Digitizing, be sure to stop in at your local Janome Dealer for a demonstration! You're sure to come away amazed and inspired!
Video: Using The AcuView Magnifier On The MC12000
This unique accessory lets you see up close around the needle area.
One of the most popular features on the Horizon Memory Craft 12000 isn't computerized or even electronic. But it does make all kinds of sewing tasks easier.
It's the AcuView Magnifier, a specially designed lens that clips onto the machine and allows you to view items in the needle area with 1.5x magnification. It's especially effective when used with the adjustable HighLight. The AcuView Magnifier snaps onto the machine when you want to use it and can be tilted or swung out of the way. Attaching it is very simple.
How To Attach The AcuView Magnifier
- Place the AcuView Magnifier in position under the holder on the front of the machine.
- Align the upper prong with the reception location for the magnifier.
- Push up to click the magnifier in place.
Now it's ready to use.
To see this demonstrated watch the video How To Attach The AcuView Magnifier.
The magnifier is one of many innovative features that are putting the Horizon Memory Craft 12000 sewing, quilting and embroidery machine at the top of everyone's wishlist. To try it for yourself, visit your authorized Janome dealer.
Poll Results: Tangerine Tango Project Ideas
We asked if you'd like to make anything with Pantone's "color of the year."
Pantone, Inc. is the company that makes standardized color guides used by designers for everything from home décor, to printing, to fashion. Looking at industry trends, they recently announced Tangerine Tango as their Color Of The Year For 2012.
We wondered what you thought. So last Friday we posted a poll, asking if you'd like to make anything using this bold color from the orange family.
The question was: What will you be inspired to make with Tangerine Tango, Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year?
The leading responses were quilting and fashion accessories, followed by home décor and garments. But what do you think got by far the most votes? Take a look at the poll results.
Powered by Janome: Hopeful Threads
Demonstrating that the love of sewing and the love of helping others go hand-in-hand.
Kristy Smith created her charity sewing blog, Hopeful Threads, to help friends and other sewists focus on how to use their gifts, talents and love of sewing to help others.
Even though the blog was started just over a year ago, projects through Hopeful Threads have already helped to spread love around the world. Some of their projects include pillowcases for foster children through their local Child Services office, dresses for Dress A Girl Around the World, cloth diaper covers for an outreach in Cambodia, and activity tote bags for a local Children's Hospital.
It's Kristy's hope to continue reaching and meeting needs all around the globe. They are already off to a great start in 2012! Visit Hopeful Threads to see what they've been up to and how you can help.
Kristy says that she's been sewing for years as a personal hobby and for a small home business. But when she leaped into sewing for Hopeful Threads, her husband decided she needed a more reliable machine.
"He bought me a Janome Heart Truth HT2008LE and I absolutely love this machine!!" says Kristy. "Seriously! I have referred to it as my 6th child in several instances! ;) This machine is such a work horse and such a pleasure to sew with at the same time. I tell anyone who asks about buying a machine to check out Janome!"
"Thank you for providing such a high-quality product in a price range that the average home sewist can afford!"
She adds that her hope is to be able to purchase a Janome serger by the end of the year so she really can be completely "Powered By Janome."

While the political class is broadly on the same sheet, the intellectuals are deeply divided with those on the Right suggesting that there was a racial dimension.
An American-style culture war has broken out among British academics and opinion-makers over the underlying causes of the recent riots in London and other cities. While the political class, despite attempting to sound "different," is broadly on the same sheet, the intellectuals are deeply divided with those on the Right suggesting that there was a racial dimension to Britain's worst street violence since the 1980s because most of the rioters came from a particular ethnic group.
Some have blamed elements of Afro-Caribbean culture such as rap music for contributing to a streak of violence and "nihilism" among black youth. A "collapse of family values" and a "lack of work ethic" are some of the other factors cited by right-wing commentators for "restlessness" among the young of Afro-Caribbean descent.
Those on the Left reject this racial stereotyping of a whole community arguing that many of these problems are also prevalent among other groups, including white working class families. Instead of looking for glib explanations in race and ethnicity the debate should be about "difficult" social and economic issues — racial discrimination and a neglect of inner-city working class communities — facing Britain's black community.
Both sides acknowledge that there is a dearth of enough role models for black youth to look up to and this has resulted in a lack of aspiration among them. But they differ on why there is such a scarcity of high-profile public figures of Afro-Caribbean origin. The Right puts it down to an "inherent aspiration-deficit" among blacks while the liberal view is that it is a lack of opportunities — a "racial glass ceiling" that prevents black people from getting a break in the first place; and, even if they do, hinders further progress up the professional ladder. They are grossly under-represented in nearly every area of public life from politics to media, academia, and arts and culture.
The most controversial intervention on the Right came from historian and broadcaster, David Starkey, a colourful figure and a favourite of television producers. His attempt to import race into the debate has been likened to the behaviour of a "blustering old fogey" gatecrashing into a party where until he arrived everyone has been at their best etiquette.
Before Dr. Starkey's provocative intervention, the causes of the August riots had been discussed in the context of social and economic deprivation in the Afro-Caribbean community, with even the Tories avoiding a direct reference to race. Prime Minister David Cameron, who has been attacked for some of his shrill post-riots rhetoric, was careful not to be seen to be singling out and "criminalising" an entire community for the actions of a few. Suddenly, Dr Starkey popped up on the BBC to launch an attack on "a violent, destructive and nihilistic" black culture. The contagion, he warned, was spreading with members of the white working class embracing this culture.
"The whites have become black," he declared with his trademark dramatic flourish.
In what one critic dubbed his "career-ending moment," the former Cambridge academic approvingly quoted the late Tory politician Enoch Powell's 1968 speech warning that unchecked immigration would unleash "rivers of blood" in Britain. He said he had reread the speech in the light of the riots and found that Powell had been "absolutely right."
"His prophecy was absolutely right in one sense. The Tiber didn't foam with blood but flames lambent. They wrapped around Tottenham and around Clapham," he said. Gesturing towards his co-panelist Owen Jones, author of Chavs: the Demonisation of the Working Classes, he said: "What has happened is that a substantial section of the chavs that you wrote about have become black."
"The whites have become black. A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture has become the fashion. And black and white, boy and girl, operate in this language together, this language which is wholly false, which is this Jamaican patois that's been intruded in England, and this is why so many of us have this sense of literally a foreign country," he said.
Undeterred by Mr. Jones's protest that he was "equating black culture with criminality and anti-social behaviour," Dr. Starkey went on to argue that "an archetypal successful black man" was more likely to sound like a white person. Referring to the Afro-Caribbean Labour MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, he said: "Listen to David Lammy, an archetypal successful black man. If you turn the screen off so that you are listening to him on radio you would think he was white."
Well-known black writer and education adviser Dreda Sally Mitchell, a guest on the programme, told him to "stop talking about them and us."
"You keep talking David about black culture. Black communities are not homogenous. So there are black cultures. Lots of different black cultures. What we need to be doing is ... thinking about ourselves not as individual communities ... as one community. We need to stop talking about them and us."
The big backlash, however, came from his own professional community. More than 100 academics and graduate students signed an open letter in The Times Higher Education Magazine denouncing his comments as "evidentially insupportable and factually wrong." Dr. Starkey was guilty of "crass generalisations about black culture and white culture as oppositional, monolithic entities" and his remarks demonstrated a failure "to grasp the subtleties of race and class that would disgrace a first-year history undergraduate."
At the street level and in the media, some of the reaction to Dr. Starkey's outburst shows that old racial prejudices still lurk under the veneer of multiculturalism and Britain remains a deeply divided society in its attitude to race. There is no dearth of those who believe that he spoke for them and said what they couldn't for fear of being labelled as racist.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, writer and broadcaster James Delingpole claimed that Dr. Starkey's argument was "indisputable."
"Listen to how many white kids (and Asian kids) choose to speak in black street patois; note the extent to which hip hop and grime garage and their offshoots have penetrated the white mainstream; check out how many white kids like to roll …with their Calvins pulled up to their midriffs and their jean waistbands sagging …," he wrote.
Not done yet, Mr. Delingpole concluded: "To pillory a man for pointing out such a glaringly obvious cultural fact just because he's white and Right-wing would have been quite wrong even before the riots. Post riots it is positively obscene."
Outside the more doctrinaire Left-Right divide, there's the view that too many sensitivities around issues such as race, religions and immigration often hinder a rational debate on genuine problems of ethnic groups. Dr. Starkey's views may have been distasteful but in a free and open society there should be no "no-go" areas or "forbidden" territories. The Economist pointed out that the "density" of rioters from one ethnic group suggested that "the race played some part even if few politicians are keen to contemplate it."
"Just what that role was is a matter of great concern to thoughtful black Britons."
Libby Purves, a respected cultural commentator, wrote that Dr. Starkey's comments were, no doubt, "clumsy," but "it would be a pity if his detractors, in their stumbling panic to announce their own non-racism, closed down all discussion of the animating lawless rhetoric of top rappers."
Free speech campaigners such as John Kampfner, chief executive of Index on Censorship, complained that Britons were "too easily offended" and called for greater tolerance of "contrarian" viewpoints.
"At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, I suggest we dust off a phrase that probably hasn't seen the light of day since the 1950s: 'I beg to differ.' That should suffice the next time someone sees Starkey talk about blacks on TV or reads (Jan) Moir (a right-wing journalist) in the Mail," he wrote in TheIndependent.
The most charitable interpretation of Dr. Starkey's outburst came from the Booker-winner Howard Jacobson arguing that he was a victim of the "foolish vanity of a public intellectual." Given a chance to pontificate, he got carried away by his own vanity and the more he was challenged by his co-panelists the "more he blustered."
That, to some, sounded like giving too much benefit of the doubt to someone who has form on such matters.

The Fall of Mister Wily was created by a team of 4 in 72 hours for the 25th Ludum Dare game jam. The theme was "You're the Villain". It is short experience with fun gameplay, compelling music, and a humorous, relatable storyline. I was rated top 10 in 6/8 categories and was ranked 3rd place overall in the Jam.

Monthly Jobs Summary Courtesy of Markit Economics
The latest report on jobs from Markit Economics, sponsored by KPMG LLP and the REC is showing further strong growth in permanent placements, continuing candidate shortages and accelerated salary growth.
Permanent staff appointments accelerated in April albeit at a slightly lower rate than the peak in February with vacancy levels also increasing.
The combination of job opportunities and candidate shortages is also driving up permanent salaries at the fastest rate since April 2007.
Candidate shortages are the most pronounced since October 2004 while the number of people placed in permanent employment continues to rise.
The trends shown above are mirrored by Delta Consultants and, while candidates are in short supply, it is mainly those with relevant post graduate work experience that are most in demand and where the major shortage is.
In the areas Delta Consultants recruit into, particularly scientific, we believe a lot of this can be traced back a number of years to when companies only looked for experience, and trainee vacancies were few and far between.
Consequently the number of younger candidates with a Biomedical Science background, for instance, and a few years in sales or applications are now at a premium and not in enough numbers to fill the available jobs.

I have traveled, lived, and studied all over the world. I have studied and taught a wide range of topics. My great passions are for Education, Language, History and Anthropology and of course for extending these passions to those who need it. One of my greatest pleasures is helping students to open doors and facets of their minds in order to achieve their goals and aspirations.
For me, tutoring is about showing students what they already know but may not realize that they know. It is also about showing the student how to figure it out on their own. A tutor is like a facilitator, demonstrating to the student that they will be able to pass that class or get that job or achieve whatever goals that they aspire to achieve by simply working with what they already have and what it could grow into.
I have a Masters in Education from Boston University, a Masters in Anthropology from Macquarie University, and a Bachelors degree in Geography from Syracuse University.
I have taught English for over 15 years.
