How the New Fuel Economy Standards Could Kill The Economy
2011-07-26 21:25:00 I?ll be upfront with this, I don?t believe that the White House?s soon to be proposed higher fuel economy standards are going to kill the economy. I just don?t think it?s realistic. In fact, I tend to be on the other side of the argument and believe the new standards would create jobs, largely due ...
Ads Against Raising Fuel Economy Standards Scrapped
2011-07-21 18:52:00 After several days of posturing and, quite frankly, whining about the Obama administration?s proposed new fuel economy standards, the Alliance of Automobile Manufactures has decided not to air its radio campaign aimed at getting the public behind less substantial fuel economy increases. (Just a note in case you didn?t know ? the new standards, which ...

White Sox Loyalty Outweighs Baseball Common Sense.....
2010-09-30 20:43:00 As the Chicago baseball season comes yet to another disappoint close, I feel compelled to express my thoughts (even though it could be old news by now) on the return of Ozzie Guillen. As I stated earlier this year, I thought that if the Chicago White Sox were not to make the postseason that Ozzie Guillen's time as manager of this club had run out. Of course with the news earlier this week we all found out that the meeting of the minds (Kenny/Ozzie/Jerry) had occurred and the decision had been made to stay status quo and have both Kenny Williams and Ozzie Guillen return in the 2011 baseball season. While this was met with excitement by many Chicago White...
Wrigley, the Toyota sign and common sense
2010-06-11 03:31:00 Tribune photo/Paul Sullivan At least one voice of reason is heard up at Wrigley Field among the chorus of whiners about the Toyota sign.

I say tear down the whole damn ball park if it means we'll win a World Series. I don't understand the attachment to bricks and mortar.Exactly....
Avoiding 'swine flu' takes common sense, simple precautions
2009-11-30 07:56:00 It's the time of year when many of us worry about catching colds and coming down with the flu. But with the H1N1 virus taking center stage this year, fears about contracting so-called "swine flu" are very real. By this time, many of us know someone--or know someone who knows someone--who has come down with this scary-sounding flu. I am one of them. And because I take maintaining good health so seriously--and want to make sure those I know and love are doing all they can to keep themselves healthy--I turned Dr. Vinay Goyal for direction by reading about a recent lecture he gave on the origin of and precautions against H1N1....

Common sense on high-speed rail
2009-07-28 00:12:00 John McCarron, an urban affairs writer, consultant and educator, nails it in this Tribune op-ed column. McCarron asks why we are spending billions of dollars (yet to be borrowed, I assume) on studying and building high-speed rail service when so much more needs to be done for local mass transit. Compare the needs of CTA, Metra and Pace riders with those who want to get to Detroit, St. Louis, the Twin Cities and elsewhere and there's no doubt where the money should be spent. As McCarron said:The purpose of high-speed rail, near as I can tell, is not to ease the daily commute of millions of Chicagoans -- we'll still clank along on what is, in many places, a century-old...

J.D. Needs A "Stimulus" Of Common Sense
2009-06-01 22:19:00 (I know I?ve used this pic a lot lately, but it always seems to fit ? and I also posted over here.)I realize I?ve spent a good while now trying to ascertain tiny, fragile segments of reason and common sense lurking into the jingoistic, right-wing drivel of Bucks County Courier Times columnist J.D. Mullane, but I feel that I must continue in this exercise because I find it harder to locate those segments with each passing day.And based on what he concocted yesterday, I should tell you that I seriously believe he has gone ?around the bend? (here) in yet another round of criticizing the economic stimulus plan (with stimulus in quotes, as always)?So how much of President Obama?s ?stimulus? cash will come to Bucks County, and how will it be spent? It?s $156 million ? including the generous $400 ?individual tax credit? most of us receive in $8 increments each paycheck.There are a few dozen public works projects, including $100,000 to refurbish of (sic) the Sellersville Armory.

Let common sense prevail in all your dealings
2009-03-17 12:33:00 An Obituary (The London Times).Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knew for sure how old he was, because records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He?ll be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: The early bird gets the worm; Hard work is the secret to success, Life isn't always fair; and Sorry that was my fault.Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies like don't spend more than you earn and Save part of your income for the future plus reliable life strategies like Adults are in charge not children and When there?s a problem, look for a solution don?t look for someone to blame.His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprima...

"Drilling" For Common Sense On Energy In Bucks
2008-08-12 20:55:00 I haven?t had much to say about Bucks County Courier Times columnist J.D. Mullane for some time because he?s largely confined his wingnuttery to his blog, which is something I don?t care to discuss at this moment because I?m eating my lunch.However, in his column today, he takes note of Patrick Murphy?s appearance at the Lower Makefield, PA Farmer?s Market last Thursday, in which Patrick judged the ?Great Zucchini Race??Just before the zucchinis zoomed down a 12-foot plywood track, a half-dozen protesters closed in on Murphy, holding signs that criticized him and his Democratic Party on oil, drilling and energy.Murphy, with his 150-watt smile, largely ignored them. Afterward, glancing at the sign-holders, he said with a shrug, ?That's politics.?And by the way, it should be noted that, since they disagreed with the Democrats, these were ?good? protestors as far as J.D. is concerned, not ?hippies? opposing the Iraq war who should be tear gassed, as Mullane called for here.And where e...

Why Price, Volume and Common Sense Matter Now
2008-04-25 18:02:00 Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Guest Post:Deepak Singh Market Analyst, State of the Market "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four! Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."....Abraham Lincoln We see and hear this too often in markets. There are millions of technical indicators that have been developed to call a tail a leg. I am not painting all technical indicators with the same brush but most of them are no good. It only leads to poor trading experience and results. After going through number of indicators, I reached a conclusion - it is much better to stick to Price, Volume and Common Sense (the most difficult indicator). There is saying - "Price and Volume are fact, and everything else is a distorted version of the two". The market requires you to be much more objective most of the times even if that means a long wait. It pays to wait for clear signals than interpret confusing signals. The moment we start looking at te...

I would personally give it away free, with the only stipulation being that if they wanted to be notified of the next free Adsense site I gave away, they?d have to send me the URL where they posted this one.Lets see, what else do people want? how about a free script or two for their website as long as your link remains.Or, a cool widget that can do something they might like? like mak...

Common sense
2008-04-22 23:57:00 This week's Mr. Teacher column on education.com is all about the trials and tribulations of getting kids to check the reasoning on their math answers. No, 11-5 should NOT equal 14! Nor should it equal 115!!!I started a Participation Posse today. Took pics of the kids last week, and I devoted a bulletin board to the pictures of the kids who participated in class. Most of them got their pictures up yesterday. Of the few who weren't up when they walked into my classroom this morning, almost all of them really did try harder today and got their picture up. I did have to take one down though, as he wasn't trying at all today.We'll see how it goes for the next few weeks. I think I'll have little rewards or something for the people whose pictures stay up all week long. If it goes well, I may start this at the beginning of next year.
