Learning Bank
What is the FDIC? Have you ever thought about what a bank does with your money? Do you know what a bank account is? What about a checking or savings account? Look below for the answers!
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC for short, is a part of the federal government. That means it has the ability to make rules that affect banks in all 50 states, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico. If it was part of a state government, it could only make rules that affected banks in that state alone. The FDIC's biggest job is insuring the savings of millions of Americans in all the FDIC insured banks across the country, even the savings of kids. The FDIC also visits banks on a regular basis to make sure they are following the rules they need to. These rules, called regulations, make sure the bank operates profitably and fairly. For example, one rule banks have to follow is called the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. It says that a bank can't refuse to loan money to someone just because of his or her color, religion, national origin or for a number of other reasons. A bank CAN refuse to loan money to someone if it thinks (by looking at how much someone earns and how they've paid off other bills) the person will not repay the loan.
When a bank has a sign on it that says "Insured by FDIC" it means that if the bank doesn't have enough money to pay back the people it owes money to, including the bank's depositors, and is closed, the FDIC will make sure all of the depositors get their money, up to the insurance limit which is $250,000. To be insured by the FDIC, a bank must prove it is being run profitably and fairly.

Nearly 70 years ago, Albert Einstein published an article in which he predicted that a star's gravity could function as a lens to focus distant light, much as a curved glass lens does. As it turned out, he was right.
But Einstein didn't think that this effect would ever be observed. On that score, he was wrong.
Today, the effect not only has been observed, but is being intensively monitored. "Gravitational microlensing," as it is known, is one of the exciting new techniques astronomers are using in their search for extrasolar planets.
You probably haven't heard much about microlensing. That's not surprising; the technique has yet to turn up its first planet. So far, all of the 100 or so extrasolar planets discovered have been found using the Doppler-shift, or radial-velocity, method.
But despite the lack of planet detections to date, Penny Sackett, the director of the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University in Canberra, is upbeat.
"Within the next five years," Sackett says, "we will certainly have the sensitivity to see extrasolar gas giants like our own through the microlensing technique - Jupiters, but also Saturns at the radius that Saturn orbits."
Moreover, she adds, combining the results of gravitational-microlensing and radial-velocity techniques may help scientists solve a perplexing problem: How do planets many times the size of Jupiter end up orbiting closer to their parent stars than Mercury does to our own Sun?

Commercial Cleaning Business Plans
! How to get money to buy a franchise? Plan? Stratus' SOS plan franchise business is cleaning business?
I want boy "stratus" franchise plan is commercial cleaning company, I need $ 20-30 to start I would like wheelbarrow or get a kind of personal loan but my credit score is 670 and I did not belong to anyone want to give me money I would pay 15-18%, but … … … maybe you know, some banks or organizations, wiser me how to get out of this situation Thank SOS
With your credit score and the amount you plan to borrow, you should be able to get a personal loan www.prosper.com. This is a legitimate site which was discussed in many national publications. On an unrelated topic. A cleaning business is quite difficult to implement, unless you are ready to go down on your knees and make yourself clean. The biggest challenge is now reliable workforce. When hiring workers part-time with the minimum hourly wage, there is very little for them to lose. They can easily find another job minimum employment elsewhere. You will be facing a very "Dynamic" labor. Be prepared to do a lot of work yourself. Best wishes.

The Campus High School swim team presented a check for mroe than $5,000 to a local Make-a-Wish student.
Sydney Joorabchi is a jr. high student in Haysville. She will use the money to go to Disney World.
The five-member swim team swam 100 miles earlier this month to raise money for Sydney. Each of them swimming a mile at a time in relay-race form.

They say they never expected to raise as much as they did, and they're happy it is going to a good cause.
Sydney says it's nice to know people are thinking about her, even if they don't know her.
Friday March 1, 2013
They started swimming Friday, and won't stop all weekend. Seniors on the Campus High swim team will swim 100 miles for the Make-A-Wish foundation.
The five teammates will swim in relay race form, each completing a mile at a time. The first swimmer jumped in the water Friday afternoon, and the team will likely swim until Sunday.
Their coach said he's proud to work with a great group of leaders.
"The season ended two weeks ago," said Kelly Kennedy. "They've coming in this week to stay in shape just for this. They're a great group of boys and this is a great way to end their swimming careers on Campus."
The money raised will support a wish from the Haysville area.

I purchased this product b/c I was having some breakage on my natural 4a/4b hair and when I use this after shampooing it helps my hair feel stronger and healthier...I would recommend this for anyone that's having problems with breakage or shedding. It's also a wonderful detangler it makes your hair super soft!
Will repurchase

Love this as a deep conditioner. Use it on my ends and stops them from becoming fluffy and frizzy. Instead I get shiny, soft ends instead.
A hair care must have!

I really like the smell, it's subtle and sort of fruity. It has a thick consistency, but it easily glides through hair. While it's in hair in makes it feel incredibly smooth. A little goes a long way which I like because it means the product will last longer. The packaging is good in a squeeze bottle so you can choose to use an amount which suits you best. After rinsing and letting hair air dry, my hair is softer than normal and very shiny. Seems more healthy and smooth, this could be because silicons though, but doesn't weigh down hair or make it seem dull and greasy. Hair breaks less after using this and feels stronger and silky. The price is great, speedy delivery. Overall I would defiantly recommend to anyone who wants to make their hair smoother.

True that. I have been eating every 3 hours focusing on high protein and ready to get on 2nd cycle.
Question - are there gears/supplements/peptides that would make you hungry? I am trying to eat even more.
This is nothing new and we tell people all the time that they need to get their diet right before ever considering taking AAS. But I want to reiterate this to those who don't take this serious. Proper adequate nutrition is the key to growth.
I recently started a high protein diet that has my meals laid out the entire day whether I like it or not. I am consuming adequate calories and 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight. This is double what I was taking. I've been on a good cycle for awhile and have been getting decent results, but since I started this strict diet I have seen some amazing transformations. My muscles are fuller, harder and stronger. I really feel like the compounds I'm on are making major changes to my body.... More muscle, less fat. All because I'm consuming the fuel my body needs to grow.
Like I said in the beginning, this is elementary for most here, but for those who don't take nutrition serious, do yourself a favor and map out a good nutrition plan before you waste a single dime on AAS. If you do, you will see your hard work and money work for you once you add AAS in.
True that. I have been eating every 3 hours focusing on high protein and ready to get on 2nd cycle.

GHRP-6 will help increase your appetite.
what is the dosage, how often/day and when to take, and how long can I use it?
Damn, why didn't I think of that? I think I am having a memory loss. I will search this one out.
Thanks bro.
yes i would say i get a better appetite spike from GHRP 6 than eq. eq takes too long to kick in to see the results im looking for but eq def has its place in a cycle!

Now if I could only cut out alcohol
Weed makes me hungry as f#@k
GHRP-2 made me hungry as hell.
I'll get there or Die trying...

Jim Harbaugh, I think, has proven himself to be an insufferable asshole. It should be no shock that he's having issues getting along with a leadership group of an organization.
The problem is: he's a fantastic football coach and he's a Michigan Alumnus. If either of those things weren't true I'd hate him. Unfortunately, he's our kinda asshole. That being said, I'd say the chances of him ever returning to coach at Michigan are hovering right around the same as the odds that we reanimate Fielding Yost and bring him back to coach.

|from a former Lions fan and Detroiter who's been away for years:
This team has no guts and no brains. Oodles of talent and even it a decent coach will make huge strides with this team. Scwartz is a complete knucklehead (as indicated by his tantrum with the fans yesterday).
This team should have had the division wrapped weeks ago...They were 6-2 when Rodgers and Cutler got hurt...they've won 1 game since. Talk about a blown opportunity.
I don't kow if BOB is the answer or not....but I would think this job should be the pick of the litter if/when it comes open. They are the closest of all the jobs likely to be open to having success.

There is MAYBE one to-be superstar on that team and a bunch of B+ players.

I just have a tough time believing that both Martin AND Diaco followed Kelly to multiple stops and passed up on other good opportunities to stay with Kelly (rumored Diaco was offered Wiscy job last year) but now all of a sudden they're leaving because they can't stand him. I'm sure Kelly is a tough guy to get a long with some of time (lots of coaches are) but if he were a total asshole and an insufferable human being, I doubt he'd have highly thought of guys (like Diaco, at least) following him around the country to work for him.

but this is his fourth school where he's had good success...can we knock it off with the 'Kelly is a moron and people must hate to associate with him." Chuck Martin has been with Kelly for a LONG time. Diaco worked for him multiple times.
Its not as if he's losing coordinators every year or tons of transfers. They've had a lot of success as a group, both are young enough to move on...they're leaving because they're both good coaches, not because Kelly is an ahole.

|if you go back and watch
if you go back and watch every offensive snap (its on the tubez) you'll see at least 1/3 of these yards come from unforced errors (blown coverage, needless over pursuit, misalignment) another 1/3 from guys who just seemed to MAKE PLAYS (broken tackles, leaping over a corner) and the last 1/3 from good play calls. You don't get kudos for the first when you don't do any line checks. I won't tear Al to shreds, this was pretty good all in all...But you can't analyze this game in a vacuum...Al has sucked hard all year long; one decent game does not overcome the eye-bleach inducing four game run we just had. It was above average for Al below for most other OCs

|Nice write up Seth, really enjoyed this piece.
This is my biggest issue with MANBALL. Its not necessarily that spread is better than manball its that most manball coaches go back to the 3 yards and a cloud of dust "I know what I'm running, you know what I'm running but I'll force my will and you won't stop it."
Such a neaderthalic (yea, that's not a word, I don't think) way to play football. Guys who run the spread are more likely to build constraints into their system (or so it seems)...maybe its a generational thing?
Anyone more well versed in a functional manball team have good examples of manball with constraints built in? I can't say I'm well enough versed in playcalling theory to be able to see it myself.
I'd be okay with an offense that wears manball clothes (2TEs, I form, lots of under center) if it thought like Art Briles/Holgo/C. Kelly/RR.
Running an offense that is dependent on out-talenting your opponent is not practical anymore.

At the Forge - Communication in HTML5
For me, the improved form tags and expanded semantic markup for sections, headers and the like are both important and useful advances. But in many ways, I believe some of the most important improvements are a bit harder to understand and will take longer to catch on. These are improvements in how different pages may communicate with one another within the same browser or how the Web browser may communicate with outside resources.
A number of features in HTML5—and yes, some of these features aren't really part of the HTML5 specification, but I'll pretend they are for the purposes of this column—are designed to solve precisely this problem. These features aren't meant to make it easier to create Web pages, but rather Web applications. Specifically, I'm talking about interpage communication, WebSockets and threads, known as Web workers. Each of these topics probably deserves a column to itself, so I admit that the examples I provide here are meant to give you a taste of what's possible, rather than a comprehensive tutorial or example. Nevertheless, I hope you'll become excited about the possibilities raised here, and perhaps you'll even think of new and interesting ways to make use of these features.
Perhaps this should be the case, but to date, it has not been possible. That's due to privacy concerns. You didn't want one Web page to be able to read from or write to another page without permission, and there wasn't a standard that would provide such permission. This is true not only in the case of two separate pages, but also in the case of two iframes on the same page, which might want to affect each other.
Now, if you're thinking you actually have been able to do this in the past without any hoopla, you might be right. It's true that an iframe can communicate with, and even modify, its parent window, but only if the two pages have the same origin. HTML5 changes the rules of the game by allowing pages to communicate with one another, even if they have different origins.
This works as follows. The sending page invokes the postMessage() method on the window or iframe that should receive the message, along with the expected origin of the receiver. For example, let's create a very simple HTML file that contains little more than an iframe (Listing 1). For now, ignore the JavaScript event handler that is defined there. I'll get to that in a bit.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Hi Everyone! I was a member in 2006-7 timeframe and had great success with BFL. I'm back as a 44 yr old female still in decent shape from running, but have lost LOTS of muscle. BF% is 29% :( Cardiovascularly, I am in excellent shape but I miss my muscle. I have the original BFL book, cookbook. Is the program the same? And I run 5k's so should I just replace a cardio day with a longer run? Any runners on this board and if so, how can I incorporate my running into the workouts? My fave meals are the turkey meatloaf, cottage chz pancakes (I had gotten the recipe on this board yrs ago!) I have a major candy/sweets problem, hence the 29% body fat. Cheat day was good for me on BFL because when I did eat the bad stuff, I felt awful after a week of healthy eating.
I will probably join the 12/31 start group. Thanks!
hey Tpup,
I have the "old" cook book, as well as what appears to be a first or second edition of BfL. I can't imagine the content has changed much. Possibly.
Good luck with your strength/muscle workouts. I run on the cardio days. Right now I am keeping my sessions within the 20 minute time frame, however, I can see as I get more physically fit extending that. My daughter asked me to run 5k's with her next year so I am committed to starting that with her in May. (Long winters here.) I would like to do the running 3 days a week, but continue the strength workouts 3 days a week as well.
"Hypochondriacs are their own terrorists." Saul Bellow
I think the book is the same. I'm using the first edition book, and it has worked for me. :)
I'm a runner and I do the 20 minute HIIT cardio sessions on the treadmill on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then do a longer "regular" run on Saturdays. I might have to change it up a bit more in the spring as I train for a marathon, but we'll see. I think the short HIIT sessions have majorly improved my speed which I'm happy about.
Good luck on starting your challenge! I'm starting my second challenge on January 7th, because I wanted to spend the holidays in "cheat" mode lol. I just finished my first official challenge yesterday!
I am a runner and trained for half-marathons while completing the BFL program several times using the original Bill Phillips book. I found that the strength training portion of this program was excellent for my body and improved my running as well. For my first challenge, I used running for my cardio HIIT workouts 2x per week, ranging from 20-30 minutes in duration, but always using the HIIT method (using either hills or speed to work up to my 9s and 10s). For my 3rd cardio weekly workout (typically on Saturday mornings), I used my long run as my cardio. This would change weekly, since it would depend on where I was in my half-marathon training. At the beginning of my challenge, my long runs might be only 6 miles, but they would build up to 13+ miles as I got closer to race day.
I know a lot of people on this board frown on distance running as well as straying from the BFL program. However, I am a runner at heart and am a firm believer that in order to stick with a program, you must enjoy it. I love strength training as well, and I always get in 3-4 strength training workouts in addition to my running. I know that strength training and cardio go hand in hand for optimal health. I also think that as a female, strength training is especially important to maintain healthy bones. I have not found that my increased cardio has decreased my muscle mass as some might speculate. In fact, it is just the opposite. I have more lean muscle mass now that I have ever had in my life.
Oh, and please don't forget, a clean nutrition plan is definitely key to success in this program. Clean eating plus strength training plus cardio equals success! Good luck!
Please remember that you cannot do BFL and train for a race, especially a long distance one. There is NOTHING wrong with distance running, so please don't mis-read that as being a judgement. It's just that the BFL program is a prescribed eating and workout plan. If you're not following one then you're not following BFL. Also, a distance runner has some different nutritional needs and actually shouldn't do book BFL eating as written. You can do BFL style or like, but not actually BFL, if also distance running.

Hello kristian55,
You posted this thread some time ago and I noticed no one replied. I don't own a Henry Rifle, but I do own some lever-action rifle, Winchester 1895 Grade 1 in .30-06 (3rd Gen) & in .405 Win. I have shot the Henry in .44 Mag and it is a very nice rifle.
The one issue I find with your question is that Henry Rifle doesn't offer a production rifle any larger than .44 Mag, .45 Colt & .357 Mag. It might be possible to get one custom made, but has the possibility of having a high price tag.
There may be some calibers better/larger than the .405 Win., one that comes to mind is the B&M Alaskan-
B & M Rifles and Cartridges - 50 B&M Alaskan
I have no knowledge of any lever actions in .375 H&H, .416 Rem or Rigby, .458 Win or Lott. As for practicality I will leave that up to the firearm aficionados.
I will say it would be interesting to know if there are lever actions available in the "classic Africa" cartridges, don't know that I would want one.
If I were to pick the lever action would be my pick hands down, I can cycle my lever action a lot faster than my bolt actions.
The question would be are you wanting the rifle for North American game or African game. If it is the latter then importing a lever action my be an issue.Animus facit nobilem

If cold weather had already set in and the slab was thoroughly chilled or frozen, then suddenly turning on the heat could lead to thermal cracking. Barring that, turning on the heat may have just accelerated the drying process and the cracks you mention may have occurred eventually even without the in-floor heat.
The specific crack pattern might give some clues to whether it was normal shrinkage cracking or thermally induced. To avoid problems during future cold-weather start-ups, the slab temperature should be raised gradually over a period of several days.
You don't say whether these were electric or hydronic installations, but in either case, radiant heating systems only raise the floor temperature into the 80º F range. Attention to details is important in these systems. For example, in-floor installations should have insulation below and around the edges of the slab.
The Radiant Panel Association (www.radiantpanelassociation.org) is one good source of information on this technology. It offers design and installation guides as well as CAD details. Many manufacturers of PEX tubing, a very popular medium for hydronic systems, also offer useful information. You might start with Wirsbo and Watts Radiant.

It's bonkers every year for me, because CONvergence always happens on/near the 4th of July weekend each year. As I've described previously in this blog, CONvergence is a sci-fi/fantasy smorgasbord convention that erupts yearly in Minneapolis, MN. This year was the convention's 15th iteration, and it was packed to the gills with somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 colorful, fun, creative, silly, smart, and otherwise awesome people.
This was also the 15th year I've been involved with the convention at some level. Every year, it finds new ways to surprise me. The reason the convention continues to grow is because of the amazing people who make it happen and who make it fun. I am only a tiny cog in this network; CONvergence is a true testament to what can be accomplished by a few hundred creative people who want to host a really rippin' great event.
I was on twenty panels in four days. I could never have survived such a thing without the help of a lot of people.
Buckle up, kids, this will be a long ride.

The role of fathers in the modern American family is changing in important and countervailing ways. Fathers who live with their children have become more intensely involved in their lives, spending more time with them and taking part in a greater variety of activities. However, the share of fathers who are residing with their children has fallen significantly in the past half century.
In 1960, only 11% of children in the U.S. lived apart from their fathers. By 2010, that share had risen to 27%. The share of minor children living apart from their mothers increased only modestly, from 4% in 1960 to 8% in 2010.
According to a new Pew Research Center analysis of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), more than one-in-four fathers with children 18 or younger now live apart from their children—with 11% living apart from some of their children and 16% living apart from all of their children.

Iniesta braced for tough Chelsea test
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta is anticipating another tough night against Chelsea but is hoping for a similar outcome to their last visit to Stamford Bridge.
Iniesta left Chelsea heartbroken back in 2009 when his stoppage-time strike earned Barca a 1-1 draw in London and saw the Catalan side progress through to the Champions League final instead of the Blues on away goals.
Chelsea now have the chance to gain revenge over Pep Guardiola's reigning champions when they clash again in this year's semi-finals and, speaking ahead of Wednesday's first leg at Stamford Bridge, Iniesta knows the Barclays Premier League side will again be no pushovers.
"It's painful to be knocked out so close to the final. Now we are facing each other again and undoubtedly their desire to beat us and be in the Champions League final will be significant," Iniesta said on Monday.
"We hope that things will turn out well for us again this time.
"We are going there with the intention of winning, to have a good game and commit as few mistakes as possible, as in the Champions League they are very costly. We always go out to win. We know that it is a knock-out tie and there is a return game, but our only intention is to win.
"It will be a tough 90 minutes. Chelsea are more experienced now, inevitably, and they have also changed some players. They have Fernando (Torres), (Juan) Mata and some other young players. Chelsea were very strong that year and the will be this year as well.
"They are very dangerous, very intense, and that will by multiplied in their stadium due to the atmosphere. We are expecting a very tough tie."
Iniesta also warned of the threat posed by some of Chelsea elder statesmen, such as Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard.
"They are dangerous for who they are, not because they are older or that it could be their last opportunity to win the Champions League. You have to respect them because they are great players and right now are in a very good moment. I think it's going to be a very nice tie," he added.
The trip to Chelsea starts what could be a key week in Barcelona's season, with Real Madrid visiting the Nou Camp in the Primera Division this weekend before the Champions League second leg takes place next Tuesday.
Barca have won 11 successive matches in the Primera Division to cut Madrid's lead at the summit back from 10 points to four heading into the final five rounds of the season, and the destination of this year's title could ultimately rest on the outcome of Saturday's 'Clasico'.
"It's a key and very important week. That's the reality. We are playing to get into a Champions League final and we are playing to extend the battle for the league," said Iniesta, who insisted his side's attention was only on Chelsea and not on Madrid.
"We are 180 minutes from a Champions League final. Our thoughts and focus have to be on the game against Chelsea. On Thursday we will start to think about the Clasico against Real Madrid.
"In the Champions League we depend on ourselves and in the league we depend on the leaders slipping up. We have to be right up there in case they do.
"We are in the final straight and if it has been difficult up to this point, then what is left ahead of us will also be difficult."

Make it stylishly personal, this diamond Pendant features four round diamonds set in a letter "M" design of 14k white gold with a matching cable chain necklace.
View our education section to learn more about our gold jewellery.
The pendant was a birthday gift for my wife. She loves to wear it as her "daytime necklace". She gets complemented on it regularly. She has other diamond jewelry from Blue Nile that she reserves for more formal occasions. Now she has a piece she loves that wears every day. More than pleased!
Robert, Hampden, MA – August 2013
Will return this as soon as I have an opportunity to mail it in. The pendant is tiny and the chain is so short it would not even fit around my neck. Suitable only for a child, not for the adult I had intended for as a birthday gift. Disappointing and not worth the price.
Anonymous, Albuquerque, NM – December 2012
Although the specs were on the web page when I purchased the pendant, I was still surprised by the very small size and light weight of the actual item. The photo in the original email advertisement of the item leads one to believe that this is a fairly substantial piece of jewelry. This is not the case. I will be returning the item.

Never a big hockey fan... in what way does the wider rink change the character of the game???
The Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee announced Wednesday that the men's and women's ice hockey competition at the 2010 Games will be played on an NHL-sized ice surface.
The announcement came at the conclusion of a two-day visit from the International Olympic Committee.
Vanoc estimates that it will save $10 million by using the smaller NHL ice because it won't have to make changes to arenas like GM Place, the home of the Vancouver Canucks.
International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel attended the meetings and called it a ''tough decision'' but said he supports it.
NHL rinks carry dimensions of 200 feet by 85 feet. International ice surfaces carry an additional 15 feet in width.
It will be the first time the smaller surface will be used in Olympic competition.
Never a big hockey fan... in what way does the wider rink change the character of the game???
The smaller rinks give an advantage to the US/Canada physical style of play with very large players. A larger rinks gives an advantage to the more European speed style of play with faster, perhaps more skilled players. The rinks are smaller in the US and Canada (NHL) so they can get more seats in the arenas.
Cool. International ice seems huge in comparison.
I should have EA's 2010 NHL soon too.

Searching for hope in NHL CBA talks
By Stu Hackel
The Labor Day weekend has come and gone and there's still no labor agreement between the NHL and the NHLPA. About a week and a half remains before the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement on Sept. 15 and most observers, like my SI.com cohort Al Muir, are downcast, and not without good reason. They look at the calendar, they've heard what the lead negotiators — Gary Bettman for the owners and Don Fehr for the players — had to say last week after deciding to not talk for a while (Bettman says it was a mutual decision, Fehr said it was at the owners' behest; they can't even agree on that) and believe that the chances of reaching a deal are negligible.
Yet, strangely, both Bettman and Fehr insisted that a deal was still possible. Are they posturing? Just putting up a brave front? Delusional?
Actually there are some reasons to hope that the two sides can find a way to an agreement. But it is based on a couple of assumptions. A lot of whatever optimism remains has to do with what we don't know. That is, first, whether both sides are actually trying to make an agreement and not force a work stoppage — and we'll assume they are. Secondly, what are the real positions of the two sides? What they will settle for when the clock ticks down toward zero and the prospect of playing under a deal that's not ideal becomes preferable to not playing at all?
If one of the sides really wants a work stoppage, there is no hope. And if what one side insists on is something fundamental that the other side cannot live with, an agreement won't be forthcoming. But we can't know either of those possibilities for sure right now. And we may not know even if we slip past the 15th, there's still no agreement, and the slight edginess we've heard in the voices of Bettman and Fehr last week turns into full-blown recriminations.
But let's look at where these negotiations have gone so far, because they do offer some hope that progress can still be made. First on the core economic issues, the players' "alternate" proposal to the owners' first, very harsh one contained a formula for slowing salary growth over the first three years. That was some good movement in the owners' direction. Well, in the league's most recent offer a week ago, the formula for those three years was incorporated into what Bettman called the NHL's "meaningful and significant" six-year counter-proposal. Also, the owners reportedly would honor existing contracts rather than cut them back 24 percent, as they had initially proposed. That represented movement in the players' direction. So there has been some agreement, especially on those first three years.
It's where things go from there that caused a problem. The players' proposal included a "snap back" in Year Four to the 57 percent of Hockey Related Revenue (HRR) contained in the current CBA. On the other hand, the owners want after the first three years to move the players' share down to 50 percent of HRR, and redefine HRR to narrow that pool of money a bit. It represented, according to Bettman (in this video of his remarks last Friday), a $460 million movement on the part of ownership, and he projected that if the business keeps growing, the players' salaries would start to rise in Year Four. But the players didn't see the merit in that if it meant that their share of HRR (a redefined HRR at that) was taken down to 50 percent and more of their money was put into escrow, so they felt the proposal lacked basis for discussion.
The players did, however, come back later in the week and say that they were willing to move off their 57 percent in Year Four. They proposed a few ways in which that might be accomplished and Fehr took the unusual step (unusual for him because he can be reluctant to discuss details in his press briefings) of explaining the different techniques they might try.
Considering the belief that the NHLPA would not budge off the 57 percent or concede anything beyond what the players currently have, that was a little movement by the NHLPA in the direction of the owners. But it wasn't the sort of movement that Bettman had hoped to achieve. He wanted big movement. He wanted the players to negotiate off what he'd presented in his latest proposal, not revise their own earlier proposal or begin negotiating off it.
At that point, the standstill we speculated about on this blog a few days prior kicked in and that's where we are now. The league continues to maintain that the percentage of HRR it puts toward player salaries must be reduced. That's the owners' major goal in the negotiations. The players believe they've already made concessions by agreeing to work under a salary cap and take a lower percentage of revenues, and they aren't interested in permanently reducing their slice of the pie.
So the picture may seem bleak today. But if you're looking for some burning coals in this pile of ashes, the fact is that these sides have modified their positions as the talks have gone on, endeavoring to come up with creative ways to bridge the gap. The trying has been in spasms, to be sure, but the effort has been there. One assumes that even though the sides are not meeting face-to-face, they are continuing to massage their current positions internally, hoping to craft something additional that the other party will find to its liking.
"Someone needs to be in position to offer or say something new," Bettman said last Friday, while expressing disappointment that the NHLPA didn't engage in substantive negotiations on the league's latest proposal.
"You get to times in collective bargaining in which one side or another is not prepared to have further discussions for whatever set of reasons and you have to get through them," Fehr remarked the same day after re-stating that the owners already have a system that limits player salary growth. "Hopefully it won't take very long. We'll see."
Sadly, the discussions on non-economic issues — things like travel, ice conditions, scheduling, health and safety issues — have stopped as well during this hiatus. This decision apparently came at the behest of ownership and that's unfortunate. Bettman said he was concerned about the "atmospherics" of continuing those discussions when the core economic talks seem stalled. "The players are looking for lots of things which I think — with the right economics — we'd be more than prepared to do to make day-to-day life as good, even better, than it is now," he said. "But we're not in a position — until we know the economics and certainly in light of the fact that we, in effect, got stonewalled today — to be moving forward on other things."
Fehr countered, "My experience is, if you can put some of those to bed even if it's doing that with some limitations or saying we can do this if — and you leave the if out there — that's a good thing to do." It's hard to argue with that. Ceasing the non-economic part of the negotiations can be seen as either a snitty, petty retaliation or a pressure tactic, but, regardless, when time is tight, it's not helping matters for the owners to be obsessed with "atmospherics" if they truly want to get a deal done.
It's also not helping matters when agents spread the word (as they do here in Tim Panaccio's story for CSN Philadelphia) that the real deadline for an agreement is not Sept. 15 but Oct. 11 when the NHL season is scheduled to begin. First, the damage to the NHL would begin if training camps don't open on time. There are preseason games that won't be played in NHL and non-NHL arenas, there are important sales and marketing activities that commence when the players report and, worst of all, it creates an impression, probably erroneous, that the NHLPA isn't concerned about the CBA's expiration date. That feeds into ownership's suspicion that the union has been dragging its feet, an image the PA certainly doesn't want attached to its negotiating efforts. Bettman remarked last Friday that once the CBA expires, "I think the dynamic changes. The damage to the business changes the dynamic of the negotiation….I think it gets more difficult, not easier, to make a deal." His words should be taken seriously.
We're not at Sept. 15 yet, so new understandings are still possible, maybe even enough to allow the season to proceed. But it certainly won't happen if the sides aren't talking.
After going their separate ways prior to Labor Day, both Bettman and Fehr assured the media that they would not stand on ceremony if they had things to discuss. So while the owners and players figure out their next moves, the rest of us wait for one of them to pick up the telephone.

Midwest Living Review
Don't miss this shop's fine collectibles and outstanding decor, created by one of the world's top floral designers.
Flower shops aren't normally places you'd duck into when you're out shopping. But Cedarburg's Floral Expressions is a shop you definitely shouldn't pass by. Yes, its main business is flowers. But the shop carries a wonderful selection of gift items and higher-end collectibles that are fun to look at, if nothing else, and best of all, its interior is brilliantly decorated by owner Ron Reel, named one of the top 1,000 floral designers in the world. The shop is especially beguiling during the Christmas holiday season, when the first word out of everyone's mouth when they enter is, "Ohhhhhhhh!" If they can speak at all.

Maybe sensible people are simply looking at the murderous cesspools that are Chicago, Illinois and Washington D.C., and deciding that the most restrictive gun laws in the nation simply haven´t worked.By the way, where are all of the rolling shootouts you liberals predicted when states like Texas adopted "concealed carry" laws?Nowhere to be found.Americans are far more sensible than you moron "journalists" think.

Main street business owners don´t use an armored car to make bank deposits--they personally take the daily deposits to the bank drop box. They carry a firearm when they do this ritual. Big city media types don´t understand how most of this country functions.

What is amusing is progressives try to paint the Tea Party and the NRA as radical fringe group enemies.... When in reality their true enemy is the American taxpayer.Obama accuses the NRA of trying to create fear to improve sales & ratings. Does he think the NRA is Fox News & WalMart?When they says pols are afraid to oppose the NRA... what they really mean is they are afraid to oppose the American People.

Liberals get their panties in a twist when the NRA acts as a lobbying organization. It upsets their 100 percent hold over all their other lobbyists.

I haven´t been able to figure out how Obama won Wisconsin when the voters there elected Scott walker twice within the past couple years.What it does is exemplifies how liberals steal elections like stacking illegal votes in areas like Milwaukee.Whacko liberals and unions in an area like Madison combined with over turnout in minority areas have been their magic formulas with zero attention being paid to 95% turnout ratesin some areas,with somewhere around 50% turnouts in others.Liberals aren´t winning with the will of the people but by simple bribery.

Dec 21, 2012Ubisoft's balance of open world gameplay and FPS action really hits the mark, and overall the game does a fantastic job in providing players with an interesting, immersive gaming experience.
Dec 2, 2012So here we are again with another instalment from the Far Cry universe that definitely goes beyond the previous games. With a relatable protagonist, a story that truly draws you in from the very first moments of the game, Far Cry 3 also contains a very sturdy game engine that almost makes it the perfect game. It just flows so well from the first to the last level... and the vehicles are just awesome.
Dec 4, 2012Co-op is always a blast, the campaign is lengthy and ceaselessly involving, and the promotion of freedom and player choice is amazing.
Nov 21, 2012For as large as Far Cry 3′s setting is, there's an elegant conciseness to the game's story mode. It'll still take tens of hours for completionists to get through, but the fast travel and dense map ensures you always have something meaningful to do within minutes.
Nov 30, 2012Far Cry 3 delivers a delightfully compelling narrative in a beautiful open world environment. The single-player is captivating from start to finish, and while the multiplayer lacks inspiration, it offers a decent distraction if you're looking for some fun in the sun with friends.
Dec 4, 2012It's a fun first person shooter. One with story issues and awful characters, but also with hunting and manta rays and hang gliding over beautiful scenery.
Jan 7, 2013Despite being hampered by a well meaning, but ultimately interfering, plot, Far Cry 3 has evolved into a decadent, playful and exciting title. Be it quality programming, dumb luck or a mixture of them both, the game plunges you into a thick, gloopy world of sugary gameplay, shimmering visuals, intoxicating audio as well as a great deal more. It's long, stupid and buckets of fun - just what you need to burn away the winter blues.
Score distribution:
Positive: 153 out of 179
Mixed: 18 out of 179
Negative: 8 out of 179
Dec 4, 2012An amazing game, featuring stunning visuals and gameplay.. The combat system allows you to play the game your own way, whether it be like rambo or hitman, or a combination of both himbon! and many other play styles.. The story could be strong, but its easily over looked when there is so much to do and explore.. This has quickly become one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, I would rank it up there with the GTA Series, Elderscrolls, dark souls and halflife.. The co-op adds many more ours of fun and a social immersion into the tropical island paradise/hell.. Get this game you won't regret it, definitely worth the $70… Expand
Jan 13, 2013As of writing this my past experiences with Far Cry have only been of hatred. That is not the case with this game. Ubisoft has managed to take a struggling franchise and turn it into a triple A action thriller. if you have not played a Far Cry game skip the 1st 2 and just get this one. the voice acting is spot on and so is the action packed experience. the story starts off very strong but then kinda slides in quality about half way through but over all it is satisfying and worth playing through. another thing i love about this game is the fact that you can build up your character from being a little wimp into a big bad a$$ which is awesome instead of being a military trained hard head who starts off strong and ends in about the same place he started. also the game lets you be awesome all the way through instead of having some abilities and then only letting you reach your full potential just before the final boss. other than Vaas and Sam most of the characters aren't really developed all that well and i cant even remember their names but it does not take away from the experience and the story still flows well. there is so much t do in this game that the title "Skyrim with guns" is an appropriate title since you can follow the story or go off and do your own thing like capturing outposts, hunting to increase the amount of things you can carry or hunt down the hundreds of collectible items in the game. another thing that makes this game what it is are the random encounters through out the world like the rebels in a fire fight with the enemy or after just scouting out a base and getting your plan of attack all figured out then in walks a tiger and clears the base for you. the AI in this game is great as well they are very realistic in the fact that if one enemy sees you every one does not know where you are until they actually see you and if they see a dead body they will freak out and wonder what is going on but they will not instantly know you were the killer and hey will hunt to try to find the cause of the person's death. the graphics are alright with a few exceptions with cut in and sometimes warped textures but this is to be expected with such a big and open world game. i have not touched the multiplayer yet since i have been so caught up in the campaign so i cant say anything about that. this game is almost a perfect game and i believe it will get many GOTY nominations if not awards anyone who loves gaming should pick this up because once you start playing you will not want to stop until you have finished the game to its entirety… Expand
Mar 30, 2013You play as Jason Brody, and set off on your adventure trying escape from some serious bandits. Lucky for you, your brother was in the army and gets you out safely. Whilst about the escape, he is shot in the head and you a left to run far far away. This scared feeling is what drives your character to kill, hunt and to save your other siblings and friends. You meet a great cast of characters, none of which are forgettable, and all carry a great addition to the story. Té multiplayer aspects of the game, although they don't lack too much, aren't very fun. Few types, and a variety of weapons from the single player don't stand out too much. They also created a system where as you are awarded CDs, disk drives, memory sticks, etc. after a match. You must unlock their contents by use of a decoding in game or iOS app. A simple addition which I don't highly regard but they're trying new things. The graphics across all game modes are just astounding, from the glimmer of the sun off the sea, the the dark caverns and waterfalls, it is a magnificent sight for sore eyes. Complimentary to the standard of graphics, sounds are very realistic but get quite repetitive after taking over your 20th gang hideout. Climbing the radio towers which scatter the island are also very repetitive. You can only get enough off, hop, grab, walk, hop, walk. Even thought the single player is among the greatest of the year, and the map editor and multiplayer and simple yet fun additions. The co-operative mode which is included, is probably the dullest and most boring part of any game I played all year. The only reason I trekked through the 6 hour, 6 chapter cooperative story of 4 slaves searching an island for the capturer, was to get the 6 bronze trophies awarded for them, 1 for each. If you want an amazing immersive single player with spectacular graphics, story, and sound, with a mediocrely easy platinum. This is for you. If your in it for the coop, don't waste your money. Single player: 9/10 Multiplayer/Map editor: 7/10 Co-operative: 3/10 The single player is enough to buy this game without hesitation and try at the multiplayer could just get you hooked. Just don't touch the cooperative game modes… Expand
Dec 24, 2012I did not have so much fun and emotions since... wow, hard to say, but it was a long time ago. The game is pretty nice also (even on PS3!). One or two things should be improved such as the vehicle driving (bad view where sometime to do not see the road anymore... and handling is strange too). Sometime you die falling from, what, 3 meters ? But these are rare moments, and the rest is pretty good!… Expand
Aug 26, 2013Far Cry 3 is an amazing game with a big free roaming world with a variety of animals, weapons and bad guys.It's a survival game with a vast world and a new amazing story.Its gameplay is different from Far Cry 2 and one thing that they have added is animals that you can skin them and make a variety of things, like ammo pouch.The multiplayer is good and difficult.The co-op is funny to play with your friends and talk with headsets.Generally i believe that Far Cry 3 is the best Far Cry ever.… Expand
Jul 17, 2013I hoped that, being this the third instalment of a sequel, it might have a chance of actually being something good. The only good thing that comes out of it is the idea behind it all, which is a shame. It feels and looks like you're playing a 128 bits console and it is so repetitive... the whole picking items up and crafting stuff is confusing, boring and not very believable. You can hide but there is no cover option, which makes a whole sense in this type of game. What brings me down the most is the disapointment you get whren you realise it does not take advantage of PS3's capabilities...… Expand

India Grows At Night
A Liberal Case for A Strong State

Summary of India Grows At Night Summary of India Grows At Night Reviews for India Grows At Night An Excerpt from India Grows At Night
Indians wryly admit that "India grows at night." But that is only half the saying; the full expression is: "India grows at night…when the government sleeps," suggesting that the nation may be rising despite the state. India's is a tale of private success and public failure. Prosperity is, indeed, spreading across the country even as governance failure pervades public life. But how could a nation become one of the world's fastest-growing economies when it is governed by a weak, ineffective state? And wouldn't it be wonderful if India also grew during the day—in other words, if public policy supported private enterprise? What India needs, Gurcharan Das says, is a strong liberal state. Such a state would have the authority to take quick, decisive action; it would have the rule of law to ensure those actions are legitimate; and finally, it would be accountable to the people. But achieving this will not be easy, says Das, because India has historically had a weak state and a strong society.
