I tried the code and found that it needed correction. I believe it works better now.

Comment on Sarah Palin Comeback? by cbcalvin

No question about her smarts or her savvy. But she will lead you to the cliff, tell you that she will belay your safety line…then take a phone call from far away and leave you hanging. If you are lucky. Otherwise, enjoy being a dead pancake. I would think twice about going on a two hour flat hike with Sarah Palin. I would not climb with Sarah Palin. And whatever party runs her for President, I will vote for the best qualified opposition.

Comment on PLUTO V. ERIS by Amy

The IAU demotion of Pluto was definitely a change in the wrong direction. Only four percent of the IAU voted on the controversial demotion, and most are not planetary scientists. Their decision was immediately opposed in a formal petition by hundreds of professional astronomers led by New Horizons Principal Investigator Dr. Alan Stern. One reason the IAU definition makes no sense is it says dwarf planets are not planets at all! That is like saying a grizzly bear is not a bear, and it is inconsistent with the use of the term “dwarf” in astronomy, where dwarf stars are still stars, and dwarf galaxies are still galaxies. Also, the IAU definition classifies objects solely by where they are while ignoring what they are. If Earth were in Pluto’s orbit, according to the IAU definition, it would not be a planet either. A definition that takes the same object and makes it a planet in one location and not a planet in another is essentially useless. Pluto is a planet because it is spherical, meaning it is large enough to be pulled into a round shape by its own gravity–a state known as hydrostatic equilibrium and characteristic of planets, not of shapeless asteroids held together by chemical bonds. These reasons are why many astronomers, lay people, and educators are either ignoring the demotion entirely or working to get it overturned.

If it’s any consolation, I had the same thing happen with the DVD player.

But really, there was a time when Radioshack figured its customers knew what THD was? Madness!

There was a TV show which premiered on Super Bowl Sunday called “Undercover Boss”. I never watched it but I believe what you’re looking for is a mandatory version.

I’m thinking it should be put in every CEO contract. Coal mines, Huddle House, you name it. Wouldn’t hurt a thing. Might actually do some good. But then again…probably not.
