MEMORIES: An anniversary passes
Thursday, December 19, 2013Today is “one of THOSE days”.
Just another sad day in the “sad season”.
It would have been 43 years today.
Saint Henry’s in Bayonne. High Hat reception. Pocono’s for a quickie honeymoon.
So much promise; so much life. And it was cut short. Longer than expected; shorter than needed.
Life’s just not fair. It’s just life.

RANT: Why subsidize ANYTHING?
Thursday, December 19, 2013Bill de Blasio’s first decision: Corporate welfare for the Yankees and an Arab sheik?
BY TIMOTHY P. CARNEY | DECEMBER 11, 2013 AT 3:50 PM
TOPICS: BELTWAY CONFIDENTIAL NEW YORK CITY BILL DE BLASIO SUBSIDIES
*** begin quote ***
Progressives like NYC Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio want Big Government to work for the deserving. So, the question is: How deserving are the New York Yankees and Sheik Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan?
The New York Daily News reports:
Under the complex proposal, the new soccer team — a joint venture of the Yankees and Manchester City Football Club, a British team owned by Sheik Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan — would pay virtually no rent for 38 years for the largely city-owned land on which the proposed 28,000-seat soccer venue would sit.
The new franchise would also be permitted to divert the property taxes it would normally owe the city to pay off its bonds, the sources said — a deal similar to the one the Yankees and the Mets got for their new stadiums in 2005. The soccer club would be exempt from sales taxes or mortgage taxes.
Sports owners may be the most subsidized class in America. Every year, we hear of a few new stadiums getting taxpayer subsidies.
Today, the Atlanta Tea Party filed a lawsuit to block subsidies for a new Atlanta Braves baseball stadium in Georgia’s Cobb County. Washington, D.C., is going to spend nine figures on a soccer stadium and charge the team $1 in rent. There are hundreds of examples of this.
*** end quote ***
There is no justification for this type of favoritism.
It should be de facto not even eligible to be considered by any politician or bureaucrat.

How Remote Places Can Get Cellular Coverage by Doing It Themselves
With Swedish telephone numbers and a tree-bound base station, a remote Indonesian village runs its own telecommunications company.
By David Talbot on December 11, 2013
WHY IT MATTERS
Much of the world still lacks even basic cellular access.
*** begin quote ***
A four-hour drive from the nearest cellular coverage in the remote highlands of Papua, Indonesia, a new kind of guerilla telecom network is operating, albeit outside the law, using a cheap base station roped into a treetop.
The technology could provide a new model for self-managed “last mile” mobile coverage in the world’s hardest-to-reach areas, where traditional top-down telecommunications business models don’t work.
The project was set up by a team from the University of California, Berkeley. The resulting network is now operated by a tiny stand-alone telecommunications company run by a local NGO, with a laptop for local billing and a satellite connection to the rest of the world. The network relies on Swedish phone numbers because no local telecommunications company would provide them.
“It’s a telco-in-a-box that we put in a tree,” says Kurtis Heimerl, a developer at Range Networks and grad student at UC Berkeley who led the project. “It’s a demonstration that these populations can profitably and sustainably manage their own networks. We don’t need telcos to do this; these communities can do this by themselves.”
*** and ***
The system includes some elements of “redneck engineering,” Cutrell says. “They just hauled a base station up into the tree and roped it in, and they’ve got a signal.”

POLITICAL: GM $14 billion in taxpayer dollars

The Bailout
By Eric Peters
Eric Peters Autos
December 13, 2013
*** begin quote ***
In Washington, they always try to announce unpleasantness during the off-hours (weekends, holidays and such) so that – hopefully – the stink will be less noticed.
In Detroit, too.
The recent announcement of the accession of Mary Barra as the new CEO of General Motors just happened to be exactly coincident with the announcement that the federal government has divested itself of its remaining partial ownership of GM.
This is good news.
The bad news – according to the Center for Automotive Research – is that $14 billion in taxpayer dollars went up in smoke as a result of the government’s “investment” in GM.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but that is just the bailout cost.
What about all the lawyers, productivity, and personal losses?
Frau Reinke lost 5k$+. Where does that get tallied?
And, the loss of market discipline.
Bailouts are addictive. And, immoral, ineffective, and inefficient!

POLITICAL: Replace Congress entirely!
Sunday, December 15, 2013FROM MY OLDER FRIEND
*** begin quote ***
Psychology 101 – (Simple truth)
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.
After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result … all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.
Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away.
Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.
The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.
To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment…… with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the “team”.
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.
Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water.
Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds…that is the way it has always been!
This, my friends, is how Congress operates… and this is why, from time to time:
ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

MEMORIES: Watching Army Navy game
Saturday, December 14, 2013It’s a cold snowy day.
I remember a similar day.
Our Girl, her Dad Jack, with the “boys” Craig and Scott went to the game.
Jack always wanted to see one.
That wish Our Girl was able to grant.
Took the minnie winnie to Philly.
It was bleak and cold.
She made “Chicken Soup in the Crock Pot”. (I found an outlet on a light pole in the lot.) And we went to the game.
Despite everyone wearing cold weather gear, we left at the end of the third quarter.
Boy, was that the best chicken soup we ever had.
Laff.
I should know never schedule anything in Philly on the same week end as the Army Navy game.

TINFOILHAT: The NFL Is An Extension of the TSA

The NFL’s Role In the Coming Martial Law
By Dave Hodges
The Common Sense Show
December 10, 2013
*** begin quote ***
Whatever happened to just playing football? When I used to watch an NFL game on television, I only wanted to watch the game. I never appreciated listening to their liberal political agenda often being spewed out by their talking heads such as Bob Costas.
The NFL and Its Globalist Agenda
The NFL now represents the antithesis of everything that comprises the backbone of traditional American values. I love the game of football. Football was one of the sports that I grew up playing and I later coached the sport as a former head coach in the high school ranks prior to moving to coach college basketball. I thoroughly enjoyed the competition at every level both as a player and a coach. However, the NFL has taken all the fun out of the game, because the league spouts the mantra of the globalist forces which seeks to enslave us.
The NFL Is An Extension of the TSA
The NFL has decided it is not enough for Americans to be abused by the TSA at the airport, the NFL has become the newest version of the TSA.
This past November, as I have done so many times before, I was planning to drive my family from Arizona to San Diego to watch my favorite sports team, the Denver Broncos, play the San Diego Chargers. We were also going to turn the event into a mini-vacation.
However, I discovered the NFL has become an extension of the TSA. Subsequently, the NFL has rolled out the new DHS ”anti-terrorism” security measures at all stadiums.
*** and ***
The NFL Promises to Participate in America’s Coming Dark Days
Seemingly, in the past few months, nearly every American community has been besieged with being the recipient of some form of martial law training in their community. Even our children are not immune to these practices. Every school requires bus evacuation drills from every campus in America. In Operation Mountain Guardian, the children are removed from their campus to a nearby stadium for martial law processing.
Every NFL Stadium Is a FEMA Camp Hiding In Plain Sight
At Giants Stadium, on March 24, 2011, DHS and local law enforcement conducted a “relocation” drill in which civilians were transported to the stadium.
On September 23, 2011, children, without warning, were abducted from their Denver schools by FEMA and taken to the Colorado Sports Authority football stadium. At my son’s middle school, we cannot even have my son’s aunt pick him unless she is registered with the school and shows identification. Yet, FEMA can literally abduct children from their schools without parental permission or notification? This is outrageous!

ECONOMICS: Does anyone look at advertising?
Friday, December 13, 2013FIOS, like all the others, have music channels.
(It’s better than coming into a dark quiet house alone.)
So for the most part, the music is white letters on a black background.
In the “right half lower / upper window panel:, they put trivia and ads.
The ads are recycled from somewhere.
But they are colorful and garish.
And, they don’t sell (i.e., no UVP; no tie to the music; don’t ask for the sale).
So why bother.
Unless they are thrown in for free?
I think they are just a big negative!

7. Collars & Neckties.
Over 2/3 of men buy shirts that are too small for their necks, and that can surprisingly have serious repercussions for their health. Too-tight collars and ties have actually been linked to cancer. Tight collars can cut off circulation to the brain, and increase pressure in the eyes, one of the most important risk factors for glaucoma.

POLITICAL: Cell phone ban
Tuesday, December 10, 2013CNET December 10, 2013
CNET COMMUNITY
How do you feel about in-flight cell phone calls?
Dear CNET members,
{Extraneous Deleted}
In October the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave the green light to allow the use of electronic devices from takeoff to landing, which allows you to play games, read books, listen to music and videos, and so on. But what it doesn’t allow is voice calls or mobile broadband services. However, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission is considering also lifting this ban — which would mean that at above 10,000 feet, the person next to you could break out his cell phone and start chatting with his buddies about what a great partying week he had.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not too keen on hearing everyone’s conversations throughout my flight. And the great news is a chairman of the House Transportation Committee agrees with me (OK, he’s not exactly agreeing with me, but I share his opinion). As he says, flights are noisy enough without having to listen to a plane full of passengers shouting to be heard on their phones. He has introduced a bill that would prohibit passengers from making in-flight cell phone calls on commercial aviation flights.
So what do you think of all this? Do you support a bill to prohibit cell phone calls in planes? Why or why not? Do you even think the government should be involved in this at all or should it be left to the airlines to decide? If the ban was lifted, what do you imagine would happen? More air rage and scuffles among passengers? Or maybe nothing — people will be respectful and everyone will be able to take advantage of it. Check out this CNET article titled “New House bill seeks to ban in-flight cell phone calls” and share your thoughts!

Why can’t the airlines decide? I’d much rather have free wifi.

Monday, December 9, 2013Pardon these turkeys
By George F. Will, Published: November 27
*** begin quote ***
In Washington, even local government is demented: Its transit authority Metro threatened Henry Docter with “arrest, fines and imprisonment” for the crime of unregulated gardening. Docter had filled 176 empty planters at the Dupont Circle subway stop. Metro was briefly deterred by the public outcry against its threat to punish Docter for his uncompensated act of beautification. But then it had the 1,000 morning glories and other plants ripped out.

But no re-creation was attempted at Dealey Plaza which is open in the direction of the grassy knoll, not surrounded on four sides by buildings. Witness reliability might be tested with firecrackers and billfolds. And if one shot sounds like two, shouldn’t Oswald’s three shots have sounded like six, instead of four?
Further, rough calculations suggest that the two sounds of a single bullet, heard near the spot of the fatal shot, should appear about a quarter-second apart, not nearly three-quarters.
“I think the way we summed it up in the program is fair,” DeNooyer said. “We don’t really reach a conclusion.”

Strassel: Piano Sonata in FTC Minor
Music teachers, beware. The feds are onto you. Better not try to raise the price of your lessons.

While this abuse of power has received no national attention, it has riled the music community. Brian Majeski, the editor of the journal Music Trades, lambasted the FTC in a December editorial, noting that “a consumer watchdog that sees piano teachers as a threat either has too much time on its hands, or badly misplaced priorities.”
That might be too kind. Whether it is the IRS targeting conservatives, the Justice Department hounding Gibson Guitar, or the EPA conducting an armed raid on an Alaskan mine—this administration has a tendency toward abuse of power. That’s how antitrust laws created to tackle megamonopolies end up being used to hound and hammer a nonprofit devoted to piano teachers.

Anyone still think that this isn’t Gooferment?

RANT: Corruption in the numbers?

Did The BLS Give Obama A Major Election 2012 Gift?
*** begin quote ***
Just before the election. How convenient.
That was totally unbelievable at the time, and I and others said so then.
In my Forbes column the very next week, “President Obama’s Unemployment Still Stuck at 14.7%,” I noted how inconsistent the supposed unemployment drop was with other contemporaneous economic data.
The sharp unemployment drop supposedly resulted from a total of 114,000 new jobs created in September, 2012, according to the Establishment Survey of business payrolls of the Bureau of Labor Statistics that the Obama Administration had been emphasizing throughout its first term.
But economist John Lott noted at Foxnews.com that the working age population had grown by 206,000 in September, 2012. With normal labor force participation during a recovery from a steep recession, that would have required 138,000 new jobs that month, just to keep pace with population growth, let alone to reduce the unemployment rate.
Moreover, the BLS also reported for September, 2012 that the number of full-time jobs declined by 216,000 in that month.

Nothing like “cooking the books”!
A CEO or CFO would be in prison.
A politician gets reelected.
And, no one inquires.
Argh!

Where are the yellow dog journalists?
OH, yeah, it’s “their candidate” doing it.
Argh!
