By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News
Uncertainty over Biden, Warren stirs rumor mill that Hillary Clinton may enter race
Pundits ramp up speculation of Hillary Clinton entering the 2020 Democrat field after recent reports of an 'anxious' Democrat establishment; Peter Doocy reports from Des Moines, Iowa.
Hillary Clinton continued to stir speculation on Tuesday that she could make a late entry into the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, saying "many, many, many people" are pressuring her to consider a third run for the White House.
The former secretary of state said during an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live that she hasn't ruled out joining the already-crowded Democratic fray looking to be the nominee to challenge President Trump in next year's general election.
"I, as I say, never, never, never say never," Clinton said. "I will certainly tell you, I'm under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it."
Clinton added: "But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans."

While previous election cycles have seen the list of potential nominees winnow down as the first primaries approach, the 2020 Democratic primary looks different. With no clear front-runner and shifting polls, a number of potential candidates have indicated an interest in launching a late bid for the presidency.
Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, filed paperwork last week to qualify for the primary in Alabama and has spent the past few weeks talking with prominent Democrats about the state of the 2020 field, expressing concerns about the steadiness of former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign and the rise of liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder has also reportedly been considering entering the primary. Newsweek reported last Friday that Holder had spoken with strategists about a potential run. And on Monday, sources close to former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick told The Associated Press that he's mulling a White House run, as well.
If Clinton were to join the race, she would quickly become the biggest figure in the Democratic field. She has twice run for president in the past, losing the Democratic nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008 and losing the general election in a close race to Trump in 2016.
Rumors about Clinton entering the 2020 race, however, have been circulating for a while, with Mark Penn, an adviser and pollster to Bill and Hillary Clinton from 1995 to 2008, making waves last year by predicting in The Wall Street Journal that Clinton would return in 2020 as a "liberal firebrand."
Despite the rumors, Clinton's supporters in early voting states don't think she'll be entering the race in 2020.
"I don't think she's running again," incoming New Hampshire Senate President Donna Soucy, a four-term Democratic state senator who backed Clinton's 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns, told Fox News.
"I know the rumors floating out there that that's a possibility," Soucy added. "I don't believe for a second that it is."
Fox News' Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

NSA deputy calls Trump's wiretapping allegations 'crazy'
AFP , Saturday 18 Mar 2017
NSA Deputy Director Richard Ledgett (Photo: Reuters)
The deputy director of the US National Security Agency has described White House allegations that Britain helped spy on President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign as "just crazy."
The accusations infuriated British officials, prompting an uncommonly vehement denial from Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency and forcing White House spokesmen to back away from earlier statements.
Trump has nevertheless refused to back down from the unproven claims.
In a BBC interview published Saturday, the NSA's Rick Ledgett said that suggesting British intelligence would take sides in the US political process "belies a complete lack of understanding of how the relationship works between the intel community agencies; it completely ignores the political reality of 'Would the UK government agree to do that?'"
Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano claimed early in the week that former president Barack Obama had turned to Britain's GCHQ surveillance agency to tap phone lines in Trump Tower while Trump was still living there.
That claim was later repeated by White House spokesman Sean Spicer, and then by Trump himself, who has stood by it even after denials from a series of top US political and law-enforcement officials, as well as the British.
Not mincing his words, Ledgett called the claim "arrant nonsense."
"It would be epically stupid," he added.
On Friday, Fox News said it was unable to confirm the allegations of Napolitano, a regular guest on the network.
Ledgett said the mission of American intelligence is to be apolitical, and to "speak truth" to the nation's leaders.
He is due to retire soon from the NSA, which oversees electronic surveillance of foreign intelligence.
Trump has provided no evidence to support his shocking allegation early this month that Obama was responsible for "tapping my phones" in Trump Tower last fall.
But he said on Wednesday that "I think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks."
On Friday, during a joint news conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he implicitly maintained his allegation.

Q: Every update fails I have been using VSCode for months and enjoying it for Python. Every update done through the app (by clicking the "Update" button on bottom right popup) has resulted in a failure to close VSCode. I find it odd because the only executable VSCode.exe running in process is the installer. If I kill that process I kill the installation. Either way, it jacks up my VSCode installation and I have to re-download it from Microsoft. This happens on both my Windows 10 devices.
Is there another way to update VSCode where this is not an issue?

Moomba Forum > Moomba Boats > General Chat > Has anyone owned one of these?
View Full Version : Has anyone owned one of these?
I was wondering if anyone has ever owned one of these tubes, preferrably the Atom. I think the ion (4 person) is too big. I am curious if it lives up to manufacturer hype and is fast for a big tube.
sorry didn't know where else to go. I usually rely upon reviews from amazon and such, but there really wasn't any that were in depth. We got in a car wreck and my whole family had concussions and my son (13 year old) being the worst. Doc said no wakeboarding this year, but we can tube. I was looking for something to make it fun for him and my daughter.
wow, glad your all ok.
as for that tube-never been on one but did see someone using one and it looked pretty borring to be on.
same with me. never been on one. seen several in 2-4person up at our lake and all I ever see them doing is skimming really fast across the water. doesn't appear that they do much else as far as jumping the wake and dumping riders. looks more like a real stable platform to go real fast..
If you want a megatube go to Costco as they have a life time guarentee on them.
My family and I demo'd one of the big ones a couple years ago. They were a blast! they are a lot more forgiving on the bumps and they are fast, but expensive. If I had to buy a tube that would be the one!
I appreciate the feedback. My brother in law who is at the lake every weekend with us just bought the 4 seater they sell at Costco. It was nice but pulled really slow like a 3 bottom plow. When I lifed it out of the water I saw why, it looked like it was holding about 50 gal of water. It was really slow compared to my other tubes. I liked the design of the 3 and 4 sphere because it looked like it skimmed the water.


Learn about the 2015 Bavaria Sport 450 Coupe, introduced at the Dusseldorf Boat Show.
You might think it's impossible to learn much from just over one minute of video, but Alex Smith's First Look Video of the Bavaria Sport 450 Coupe proves otherwise. This video is jam-packed with insight and information, and somehow, Smith manages to capture the most impressive and important aspects of the boat and bring them to life with a few succinct observations.
This is Bavaria's newest cruiser, but the company has a long history in this segment of the powerboat market. In fact, their Virtess 420, a flybridge model, is entirely different yet displays the same smart German engineering that maximizes both space and utility. The same can be said of their Sport 44 HT.
While the Sport 450 Coupe joins a crowded marketplace of mid-40-foot sport coupe cruisers, there's even more to set it apart from the crowd than could be covered in this short video. In fact, this is one of few boats in its class to have an aft sunpad and a garage, separate stall showers in both heads, and both CE Category B and GL-CE Yacht certification.
Obviously, if you find this boat interesting you'll want to dig even deeper. One way to do so is to get the manufacturer's take, by visiting Bavaria-Yachtbau. Or, you can see what the dealers have to say—and get important details like pricing and availability—by checking out these Bavaria 450 listings.

Biyi Bandele
Biyi Bandele-Thomas (generally known as Biyi Bandele) is an award-winning Nigerian novelist, poet and playwright known for his depictions of African and African immigrant experiences.
Biyi Bandele was born in Kafanchan, Kaduna State on October 13, 1967. His father, Solomon Bamidele Thomas, was a native of Abeokuta, Ogun State and a veteran of the Burma Campaign during World War II (at which time Nigeria was still part of the British Empire). His mother was a keen storyteller and Bandele became an enthusiastic reader from an early age and a regular user of the library in his hometown. His father, a major influence on his literary life, introduced Bandele to the works of Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe, along with a range of international classics. It was while watching the television his father had bought that Bandele first encountered the world of theatre through John Osborne's celebrated play Look Back in Anger. When he was fourteen, he left his parents' house to earn a living doing odd jobs while still attending school. At this time, he began working on his first novel. He moved to Lagos in 1985 and two years later was admitted to the University of Ile-Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife in Osun State) to study Drama. Shortly after his graduation in 1990, he left for London after winning first prize – a one-year stay in London – in the International Student Playscript Competition with his theatre piece Rain. He has lived in London ever since.
Career as a Playwright
Bandele's talent was recognised early when he won the International Student Playscript competition in 1989 with an unpublished play. He received the 1990 British Council Lagos Award for an unpublished collection of poems. As a playwright, he has worked with the Royal Court Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), as well as written radio drama and television screenplays. While working as the Arts Council Resident Dramatist with the Talawa Theatre Company at the Cochrane Theatre in London from 1993 to 1994, he launched his career in television by writing two screenplays: Not Even God is Wise Enough (directed by Danny Boyle and aired in 1993) and Bad Boy Blues, a BBC production starring Clive Owen and Burt Caesar in 1995. He went on to become Writer-in-Residence at the Royal National Theatre Studio in 1995. His 1997 adaptation of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart for the British stage confirmed his place as an important voice of post-colonial theatre. His plays include Female God and Other Forbidden Fruit (1991);Marching for Fausa (1993); Resurrections in the Season of the Longest Drought (1994); Two Horsemen (1994), which was selected as Best New Play at the 1994 London New Plays Festival; and Thieves Like Us (1998). Oroonoko, an adaptation of Aphra Behn's seventeenth-century novel of the same name, was performed by the RSC in 1999 and featured all-black cast. The play was later awarded an EMMA (Ethnic and Multicultural Media Award) in 2000. In 2001, he premieredBrixton Stories, the stage adaptation of his novel The Street (1999), as one of a series of plays commissioned for the RSC's Other Eden project. Happy Birthday, Mr Deka, a play written by Bandele and specially commissioned by the Told by an Idiot theatre company, premiered in Liverpool in 1999. Between 2000 and 2001, he was the Judith E. Wilson Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. He was also the Royal Literary Fund Resident Playwright at the Bush Theatre from 2002 to 2003.
Career as a Novelist
Bandele's first published novel, The Man Who Came in from the Back of Beyond, which he had begun writing as a schoolboy, was published in 1991. His second, The Sympathetic Undertaker and Other Dreams – a satirical narrative featuring a fictional character loosely based on the former Nigerian President Ibrahim Babangida – was released the same year and was later reissued as part of Heinemann's African Writers Series in 1993. Bandele's third novel, The Street (1999), set in the South London neighbourhood of Brixton, depicts the history of African immigrant culture in the area and the colourful characters who live and work there. In 2007, Bandele published another novel titled Burma Boy – a tale about African soldiers in the Second World War. The novel, perhaps his most personal work so far, deals with the struggles of Africans like his father who took part in the Burma conflict during World War II. "This novel really is the novel that I have always wanted to write from day one," Bandele said in an interview with Koye Oyedeji of BBC Africa. The novel was described by the Independent newspaper as "a fine achievement" and was praised for revealing a little-known aspect of African history. Burma Boy was published in the US in 2009 as The King's Rifle.
Bandele's awards include the London New Play Festival Award (1994); a University of Aberdeen Wingate Scholarship Award (1995); the Peggy Ramsay Award (1998); and the BT Ethnic and Multicultural Media Award for Best Play (2000). In 2006, he was named by the Independent one of Africa's fifty most important artists. Bandele's most recent work was an adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun for film; the movie is scheduled to be released in 2013. He is a member of PEN, the Society of Authors and the Writers Guild of Great Britain.

Chris has completely given up on any other brand of dress shoe, and wears Stacy Adams exclusively for dancing AND work. Keeps the rubber heels for his work shoes, and swap the rubber heels for leather for dance shoes. Stacy Adams last longer and have a more authentic period look than Aris Allens.
Wish that spats style didn't have the zipper! But that's my complaint about all modern boots.
I bought a couple pairs a few years ago and they never really worked out for me, sadly. (I was too excited and re-soled them in raw leather before I discovered that they were too narrow for me). If you can find a pair that works with your feet, go for it! I know several dancers who love them. Maybe I'll try again in a few years.
So yeah, if you're a 8.5D and are in the market for 2 pairs (they grey pair, above, and a cream pair) of Stacy Adams (re-soled with raw leather), let me know.

Stags duo deliver season ticket to young fan's home
A young Stags' supporter received the surprise of his life this evening when manager Adam Murray and defender Ryan Tafazolli delivered a season ticket to his house.
Josh Stevenson, aged nine, said he was 'over the moon' to meet the duo, after he was selected at random by the club as part of a new bunch of enticements for season ticket holders.
Received as part of a random draw, other new benefits for season ticket holders this season include:
-a day in executive hospitality for a home league game this season
-an afternoon in the boardroom at a home league game this season
-a matchday experience with the club's media team at a home league match this season.
Boss Adam Murray and Ryan Tafazolli spoke with Josh in his living room for half-an-hour, along with his father Phil and close family.
After opening the door to the Stags' duo, Josh said: "I'm absolutely over the moon to meet Adam Murray and Ryan Tafazolli."
His father Phil, whose season ticket was also handed to him by the pair, said: "It's a really nice touch from the club. He'll remember this for the rest of his life.
"Hopefully it will make more people come and get a season ticket."
Speaking about his main reasons for buying a season ticket, Phil said: "Matt Green's signing went a long way [in buying a season ticket], along with other new players who have signed."
Said Stags' chief Adam Murray: "It's important that we give something back to our fans - they give us their well-earned money to buy season tickets.
"To give Josh and Phil their season tickets is a big deal for me personally, as well as for the club.
"It's nice to meet the people that watch us... and the coffee's decent here as well!"
Murray said it was the players' job to rouse the Stags' fans this season, but in return he wants a loud vocal backing from the faithful.
"We'll only get the support if we're decent on the pitch, I've said that all along and it's the same at any football club.
"The part our supporters play is huge. It's up to us to give them something to shout about and then I expect 110% back."
Ryan Tafazolli said he was pleased to take part in unique new schemes, such as this.
"It's a really nice touch from the club," said the 6ft 4in defender.
"The supporters are everything to the club; we saw that a lot last season against the likes of Tranmere at home, when they acted as our 12th man.
"I'm more than happy to do stuff like this," he added. "It gives me an opportunity to meet more of our fans face-to-face."

Hi All, I hope the weather in Washington is nice for all, here in Australia it is very hot! I have a number of issues concerning a family in Washington. Sarah Armstrong (born 1893 England) was my great grandfathers sister. She married Burnett Edington Cameron in Canada and they had two children Phyllis Enid Cameron and Burnett Edington Cameron born in Canada. They went to Washington c1919 and were living in Yakima in 1920. Burnett was a barber. They seem to have divorced by 1930 however as in the 1930 census she is living and married to Fred Sampson in Sedro-Woolley. Sarah's mother, Sarah Hutchinson died 10th May 1950 in Sedro-Woolley but cant seem to see her in the Sero Woolley Union Cemetery. Is there another cemetery? Sarah and Burnett has another child Jack E Cameron born c1921??? but not sure what his real name is, whether it is Jack and what happened to him or his mother and step father. My grandfather was sent some photos of the family and on it says that Jack was killed in WWII but I cant seem to work out if this is true!!??? I have searched the SSDI for Sarah and Fred but alas, no such luck. If anybody could point me in the right direction for finding more about this family, and if there are any relatives of this family out there, would dearly love to know!
Deaths of anyone with the last name of Green or Greene from Sedro Wooley, WA?
I am looking for any record on a person named Billy Norg or Billy Nork (Billie Norg or Billie Nork?) I do not know any other information about this person, other than he/she may have lived in Skagit County at one time.
I am looking for information about the John Peterson family He was born in Sweden, came to US in 1888, to Cadillac, MI, moved to Bow, Wa in 1901 to run the Bow Hotel. We think he died in the 1930's. His wife was Nellie A. Parson who is believed to have been born in 1856 in Sweden, immigrated in 1899 to join her husband. They were naturalized in 1910. They were accompanied to Bow by children Emma (Mrs. Victor E. Rasmussen), John O. Peterson, Olof (Pete) Peterson and Nels Iver Peterson. It is believed that Nellie also died in the 1930's. I am interested in corresponding with anyone with additional information about this family.
I found an old photo album in my late parents' attic. It appears to have belonged to the wife of my uncle Jack Moberg. Her maiden name was Edna Mattson. I believe that her family originated in Finland. Edna died in or about 1951, Jack died in the 70's. Other than a few photos that include my parents and Uncle Jack, most are of people who are strangers to me and my family. Edna and Jack had no children. I wonder if there are any living relatives of Edna's in the area who might be interested in having the photo album. I thought I would at least give it a try. It seems a shame to throw this album away if there might be historic, genealogical or sentimental value to some of the pictures. I would be more than happy to deliver the album if relatives can be found.
I am searching for someone who's son was born in Anacortus (1891). If I get his birth certificate, will it tell me her name (I'm searching for her maiden name) and her birthplace? What do I need to do to order his birth certificate? Earl Henry Stanley born 7 Oct 1891 in Anacortus Parents: Earl Frank Stanley and Jennie ?
I looking for info regarding employees of the old Northern State Hospital (mental health facility) in Sedro Woolley. Specifically, I'm interested is the old personnel records, shift rosters, payroll records, or anything else that lists employee names during the period from October 1924 to October 1925. I'd also like to find any employee pictures for this same period. Does anyone know where I might find these records or this type of information? If the actual hospital employee records no longer exist, where did employees of that hospital typically live, especially couples? Since most people didn't have cars back then, I'm assuming it was close by so they could walk to work, if they were not living in quarters on the actual hospital grounds themselves. Did the local newspapers print articles regarding ordinary local peeople, like the names of new people arriving in the area? Since the hospital was one of the biggest employers there, perhaps the newspaper also printed a list of names of people getting hired by the hospital? What about printing announcements when people got married? The couple I'm researching, Robert HALL & Varina MARSHALL, may have married while working at the hospital but I've yet to find any marriage record for them (anywhere). Robert (aka Bob) was most likely a male attendant/nurse at the hospital. Varina may have worked there too but I don't know in what capacity. She was pregnant, finally having her baby after they left Sedro Woolley and moved to Portland, Oregon in about October 1925. She had the baby in late January 1926 but died 2 weeks later in February from complications. She was only 19 years old. Any info or recommendations you can provide is greatly appreciated (Varina was my Grandfather's sister). Many thanks.

Bill Fegenshaw. her siblings were Sidney Allen Morgan, Melissa Cordelia, Twins Robert E & Martin L, Martha Elmira and Elisha Perry. I am trying to tie down the parents of Robert, who I believe was Norman Morgan and Anna Bolton. Thanks. Glen Johnson, Shelton, WA.
I am trying to find the genealogy for the minook,and carlo families.
Obituary for Margaret (Fulton) Fulton who lived in Anacortes from 1897 to 1926. The Truro Daily News, August 31, 1926 PIONEER WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH The passing of Mrs. Margaret Fulton, wife of Fred B. Fulton, Monday at the Anacortes Hospital was not unexpected as her condition had been critical for several weeks. For the past year or more, she had been in poor health and while everything possible to medical science was done for her, the relief was only temporary and her condition became alarming in the past few weeks. Sunday an interne was called in consultation, Dr. Charles McClure of Seattle and an operation was decided upon as the only possible hope for her. This was performed Sunday. She appeared to rally until Monday noon when her condition changed and she sank into a sleep from which she did not waken. The last rites were held Wednesday afternoon at Westminister Presbyterian Church of which she had been a devout member for many years. The main auditorium was filled with friends made during her twenty-nine years residence in the city. The front of the chapel was banked and the casket was hidden from view with beautiful floral offerings. A quartet composed of Mrs. W.V. Wells, Mrs. R. Lee Bradley, Wallie Funk, and Ray B. Lowman sang two hymns "Beautiful Valley of Eden" and "God be With You Till We Meet Again", and Mrs. Wells sang "In the Garden". Miss Arlie Whitney was the organist. Members of Chapter W.R.E.O. Sister of which Mrs. Fulton was a charter member, attended the services in a body. Mrs. Fulton was born in Nova Scotia, June 20th, 1867. Her maiden name was also Fulton. She was married July 4, 1888 to Fred B. Fulton and a year later came to the West. For the past twenty-nine years she has been a resident of Anacortes and had been an active worker in the Presbyterian church in all its departments. Rev. Peter McCormakc, pastor of the church, in his address told of the inspiration that Mrs. Fulton had been to him since he assumed the pastorate of Westminister church by her faithful attendance at all the services of the church in the face of failing health. He voiced the sentiment of all who knew here when he spoke of the harmony of her life, the fragrance of her character, her dignity, her lack of ostentation and many qualities that would leave their impression upon those with whom she came in contact. The pall bearers where James Gander, P.E. Olson, P.R. Nelson, G.D. Shannon, E.P. Barker, and Thomas Mairs. Surviving are her husband Fred B. Fulton, a daughter Blanche and two sons, Norman of Anacortes and Roy of Seattle. Burial was in Grand View cemetery. Do you have obituary for her husband Frederick B Fulton?

HARMON & GRACE YOUNGER, Mt Vernon, 1930s-1940s I am looking for any information about my great-uncle, Harmon Williamson Younger, who was born in Arkansas in 1885 and died in Skagit County in 1946. In the 1930 census, he is shown married to Grace (age 39, proprietor of art shop) and living at 313 Kincaid St, Mt Vernon, WA. His WWI draft card shows him living in Arkansas ca 1917-18 where he was an auto mechanic. I have not been able to find him anywhere in the 1920 census, or to find any additional information about him or his descendants. Any ideas or information would be much appreciated.

Hi, My family name is Lisherness, and I'm trying to find out when they first settled in concrete. I know they were one of the first and owned the gas station (shell oil) back then before it burned down. Then they rebuilt as shell oil I believe, I found the 1944 Concrete Year book with the add. My Father was Vaughn Eugene Lisherness, Son of Ralph Eugene Lisherness married to Fannibur Vaughn. My Grandparents and great grandparents are buried in the Lyman cemetery where they moved. In fact, I believe their old house is now the Lyman City Hall.
Seeking info on Edward McMackin and his wife Johanna from New Brunswick, who held the orginal land patent on our property north of Sedro Woolley (formerly Prairie) circa 1885-1890. They had two sons Ray and Tom, and possibly a third whose name I haven't found. Would be interested to know if they have descendants still in western WA.

I am looking for information about my ancestor Eliza Louise Gokey Coddington. She was born in VT in 1858 and died in Seattle in 1938. By 1889 she is listed in the Pierce County census along with her husband, William C. Coddington. In 1891 she had a son in Fairhaven. The 1900 census shows them in LaConner, the 1910 and 1920 censuses show them in Sedro-Wooley, and she was in Seattle by 1930. Walter died 1917 in Sedro- Woolley. They had 2 children.
Regarding my great-uncle Louis Augustus Record born 3/29/1880 in Sutter Creek, Amador County, Ca. I found him in 1910 in Cullum, Skagit County under the name L.A. Record with wife Martha in later censuses listed as Laura M. (Martha). I now know he wasn't in Washington before the 1900 census because that census had him in Sutter Creek, Ca. He wasn't in Redding, Ca. before 1915 so it's safe to assume he was in Washington longer then I previously thought. I know his sister Olive S. Record married Mark E. Gilkey on 12/27/1907 in Edison,Wa. My grandparents (Patrick Michael and Ruby Matilda Murphy) were possibly living with her step father Albert J. Trottier in Blanchard in 1921. Possibly my grandfather and Albert Trottier worked at the Blanchard Mill. My father William Patrick and his sister Sarah Josephine Murphy were ages 2 and infant then. My father was in the first, second and/or third grade at the newly opened Sedro-Woolley grade school somewhere in the 1925-1927 time frame. I'm interested in any info someone has on these families!

I know absolutely nothing of her time in Skagit County or her death.
James Arthur McCleary (b. 17 May 1871 d. 1965) was a resident of Mt. Vernon and possibly other Skagit Valley towns.

James Arthur McCleary was my grandfather Lorin D. McCleary Sr.'s brother. I am trying to locate and make contact with Rex McCleary or any of the descendants of these 4 sons. I believe it likely that there are a number of McCleary descendants who still live in the Skagit Valley, possibly in Everett, Marysville or Mt. Vernon areas. Any help appreciated!

Nice guys can finish first and so can their teams!
Published: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 14:43 in Psychology & Sociology
Ever thought the other guy was a loser for giving his all for the team even if others weren't pulling their weight? A new study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, says that person can influence a group to become more efficient in achieving its goals by making cooperative, collective behaviour seem acceptable and appropriate, and thereby encouraging others to act similarly.
The study, authored by a professor at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and his collaborator at Northwestern University, calls such individuals "consistent contributors" – people who contribute all the time, regardless of others' choices.
The findings challenge assumptions made by many game and rational choice theorists that people should cooperate very little in situations with a known end-point when there are short-term incentives to act selfishly.
"It was generally accepted that the unconditional 'always-cooperate' strategy was a dumb strategy," says Mark Weber, an assistant professor of organizational behaviour at Rotman who co-authored the paper with J. Keith Murnighan of the Kellogg School of Management. "The prevailing wisdom in some scholarly circles is that consistent contributors shouldn't exist, that if they do they're "suckers", and that people will exploit them."
"But our study found consistently cooperative actors even in places you might least expect them, and when they're there they seem to set a tone and shape how their fellow group members understand situations," says Prof. Weber. "Their clear, consistent behavior elicits cooperation, and once you get a few people cooperating with each other, they seem to enjoy cooperating. Groups become more productive, more economically efficient and, anecdotally, people enjoy being a part of them more as a result."
The paper re-analyzed data from two previous experiments by experimental economists and presented findings from two additional experiments. Participants were given endowments they could keep for themselves or contribute to the group, benefiting everyone. Taken together, the experiments found consistent cooperators commonly emerged, benefited from rather than suffered from their risky actions, and members of their groups cooperated more often than those in groups containing more "rational" actors.
"When you join a new group you have a strategic choice to make – are you going to be a consistent contributor or risk being in a group without one?" says Weber. "Our findings should remind people that they can have a big effect on the groups with which they interact."

Omicron: The Band That Shares A Name With The Latest Covid Variant
The Irony doesn't stop with the band name...
By Bryan Flannery Entertainment, Funny, Host Blogs 30.11.2021
On Nov. 26, the World Health Organization announced the name of the latest Covid-19 variant. Although it was chosen for being the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet, the designation struck a chord with at least one musician, drummer Jon Wurster of Superchunk, Bob Mould, and Mountain Goats renown: "Omicron sounds like a progressive metal band that's never headlined," he tweeted two days later.
It turns out Wurster wasn't far off. Between 2014 and 2016, Omicron was indeed the name of an underground prog-metal band based in Hong Kong. The quartet — Chan, keyboardist Tyler Yeung, drummer Alex Bedwell, and synth-guitarist Adam Robertshaw — only played a handful of gigs and weren't around long enough to release an album (more on that later). But thanks to a macabre coincidence, Omicron are suddenly getting some of the attention they missed out on during their existence. "Of all the possible words you could use for designating a virus, you choose Omicron," says Chan with a laugh. "Whether for the right or wrong reasons, we've been getting clicks. It's been a lot to process."
via Rolling Stone
Clicks are clicks. The band hasn't released any new music in a long time and are now defunct, but what an odd way for them to be reunited, by the name of a virus that really pushes society to do the opposite. But the irony doesn't end there, the four band members have been talking since last summer and were already planning to dig through their old tapes and put together an official debut album, something they never got the chance to do.
The band told Rolling Stone that the plan was for the delayed self titled album to be released this upcoming summer, however with the increased traffic to their website they are considering moving the release date up. Strike while the iron is hot right? They are considering renaming themselves to Omicron 2014, to try and separate themselves from the latest Covid variant, but no one knew them before, and it seems like they are more popular now than ever before, so why change? It's funnier this way isn't it?
Have a listen to the progressive metal band Omicron below.
Maybe it's not for you…but their new album is on the way and will be available worldwide soon, just to keep the ironic story of this band alive.
