Years ago a family friend lived next to a Georgia DOT Highway widening and had a similar problem. They kept coming onto his property with their equipment, even piling up dirt in one corner. The Supervisor had the attitude that he wouldn't sue the state, and he was right. He went out one Sunday when they weren't working and drove 4 x 4 angle iron into the ground with a jack hammer a few feet inside his property line. After the third or fourth D-10 cat lost a track and they paid for the second or third $1000 tire, they got the hint.

With a losing record in the ACC and consistent mediocrity at best, it 's about time Georgia Tech Fired head basketball coach Paul Hewitt. Because of a sweetheart deal with the previous AD, it will cost $7 Million to buy out his contract, but in the long run it should be worth it. he never was a good fit here. Georgia Tech Fires Paul Hewitt.

Naziism embraced the ideals of STATISM, in the unique form of a nationalist "third position", not exactly socialism or communism, but certainly not capitalism either. It was an elitist form of fascism that embraced violent racism, state directed division of labor and price and wage controls like communism, but redistribution of the fruits to only the elitist within the Aryan race, not to the "worker" as is the goal of both communism and socialism. It was neither purely radical right or radical left in it's political economy. It was an horrific state run slave based economy. I think it

Thanks for posting this COWA. I hadn't turned the TV on today. I thought that they had planned on releasing steam with very low levels of radioactivity to lower the pressure. I guess It was a failure or they decided against it. What I find most disturbing is that several reactors had the same basic failure of the back-up cooling system. That usually points to a design flaw.

We got a flyer in the mail. These sales are usually very high pressure and are conducted by liquidation companies. The property was foreclosed on, so be very careful if there are any uncompleted amenities like pools, roads, docks, marina,s landscape, etc. The chances of any further public amenities being completed are usually nil. Also if you read the fine print, the "log cabin" is an unassembled log cabin "kit" delivered to the lot and dumped off the back of a truck. I'm not saying don't go, but be very careful and read every document. Talk to someone that has owned in the development

College Professors a Most Liberal Lot The more economics classes one takes in college the more likely they are to be a member of the Republican Party - New York FED Study

The thing about political bias is that if you recognize it as such, it can't hurt you. Of course there is a liberal bias in the university system in this country. Every study confirms it. The thing is you have to decide is if that really is the reason that younger people are more liberal than older people, or if it is the fact that younger people are idealists unhampered by reality just like their professors in the first place. I would argue the latter. A preacher speaking to the choir is not going to make any converts. If we as parents actually bother to give our kids a political educ

I agreed that the playing field has to be level. I agreed completely. Not one caveat. But Georgia is not Wisconsin. Not by a long shot. The field is now and has been tilted toward the private sector in Georgia, which will not show up as mass defections until the economy improves and employees are able to swap jobs again. As for the statement that it's a good thing the employees jump ship after we pay to train them, you are sadly mistaken. It does cost to train an employee as you point out. The shame of it is that once trained the employees don't return to us the benefit of that trainin

I have AT&T DSL, and a home phone. I have no TV package from anyone. I get over 40 channels over the air off of an antenna, and I have a Windows 7 computer hooked up to the TV and antenna so I can use Windows Media Center as a great DVR. I also can get sports for free from ESPN 3 because I am a AT&T subscriber, and I subscribe to HULU for a lot of cable shows (free package only,) and I bought Netflix. I pay $72.00 per month for 3Mbps DSL and phone. I pay $9. for the Netflix. I very rarely miss anything I got for $250, and when I look at my $80 total bill every month I don't miss i

He has admitted that it was written "from a Marxist perspective", whatever that means. I guess it means that he isn't really a Marxist, he just plays one in educational journals.

Oh, I know it is. EPD will be devastated within 2 years because a large chunk of their senior staff and technical personnel are retiring and taking their knowledge with them. Just try to hire an upper level engineer with senior project responsibility experience for $60k, or a lawyer with experience litigating environmental law for $80k. Let me know how that works out for you. The DOT is in the same boat. A lot of the more junior staff have been leaving the state too. In many cases they have gotten jobs making 1/3 more on the outside. They go to work for the state to gain a couple of yea

This will certainly be another burden on the states employees. Those who signed up 30 or so years ago will be the hardest hit, because it would make no sense to look elsewhere for a job at this point. The younger ones, those that are needed to join the insurance pool to make the aggregate more enticing to insurers, will be leaving in droves as soon as the economy turns. This is not conjecture, but from conversations with many state employees that I have known. The older ones are looking for retirement and the younger ones are looking to get out. The states biggest problem in about three to

Nearly all college administrators are statists. Their budgets and salaries depend upon the forced redistribution of funds from the private to the public sector, and therefore that social economic position is one of self promotion. I would say that his position is not by any means unique. The entire field is full of men and women who education was subsidized by and who currently survive upon the largess of the public wealth redistribution system, a system which they feel has served them well and which they do not wish to deny their fellow man. Many have never had to work in the private sector

Only 12 executions in Illinois since 1976. Why even bother. Texas on the other hand "has the death penalty and they use it." They have executed 466 since 1976.

Bill Cosby famously touched on the subject of dependency on handouts from government, church and even family as one factor in the low education rates in the inner cities. He said "50 percent drop out rate, I'm telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse, I want somebody to love me, and as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them. All this child knows is “gimme, gimme, gimme

You mean there is questionable science masquerading as fact and yellow journalism related to it? Who knew.

He's of no use to anyone in his current condition, especially himself. I'm afraid we are watching a slow suicide if he doesn't get some real professional help immediately. Two and a Half Men is just a TV show, although it was responsible for feeding many folks. Charlie's life is what is the most important. I hate to see the show go, but I wish him the best.

Assistance is based upon household income. A small number of people scam the system by divorcing and then surreptitiously living together. That is not the system's fault. Note that if the baby daddy is living in the household, he is counted by the census, but sometimes not by the welfare agencies. Incarceration of the father is a factor in both poverty and living arrangements. "Two parents" refers to biological, step, and adoptive parents. So you are correct in assuming that there are fewer children living with their biological parents. Research shows that children of Step p

Sociologists and economists alike agree that children raised in homes with both parents live in both better economic conditions as children and are far more likely to attain a higher degree of education and thus a higher income as adults. They also have fewer social problems as teens and young adults. Without getting into why's of the following facts, it is important to note them in the discussions of the economy and education in the US: In 2008, 67 percent of children ages 0–17 lived with two married parents, down from 77 percent in 1980. An additional 3% lived with 2 unmarried pare

The term "progressive" as it is used in politics today was coined by the far left themselves, not Beck. They refer to themselves as the "Congressional Progressive Caucus", and until a few years ago, they were directly aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America. In fact, the DSA helped form them. They broke the direct ties for obvious appearance reasons, and members of congress who are also members of the DSA no longer have their names published on the DSA roster, but their philosophy has not varied one iota. Progressive is just a political euphemism for Democratic Socialist now. Man

Yup. The energy regulations that mandated the CFL were directly responsible for killing off the last bulb factory in the us last year. It put 200 employees out of work. It did create a lot of green jobs in China though.

She was a Liberal in the classic sense, not the modern one. We would call her a Libertarian now. That's hardly someone that a modern progressive would look up to, in fact that is the precise model that they vilify.

CFL's save money but they are not a good choice for all locations. Locations where use is intermittent and for a short duration such as hallways and stairwells, or some exterior uses are not recommended. The government just doesn't know when to butt out. Any technology that is superior to the old technology will dominate on it's own without government intervention. Did the government take away your Betamax or your tube type TV's? There is no need for the Government to take away your incandescent bulbs or to pay the CFL manufacturers a subsidy. It's pure statism and crony capitalism.
