Had a hard time finding where it says to work against each other or that one is better than two in the Bible. I could find several verses about unity though. Is it faster for one man to build a house compared to two men or twenty? Can one person compete better than two or five working together in a game of basketball? When in unity & of the same mind, we can accomplish so much more together instead of facing the world alone. Unity does bring happiness & makes the world & even your community a better place.
Philippians 2:2 Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord & of one mind.
Have a unifying weekend my friends!!!

South St. Paul boys basketball coach charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud [Pioneer Press, St. Paul, Minn.]
Saint Paul Pioneer Press (MN)
Jan. 12—In basketball circles, Matthew McCollister has a reputation as a coach who's turned around struggling and stagnant high school boys basketball programs.
McCollister's head coaching starts and stops include Breck, St. Croix Preparatory Academy and Brooklyn Center. Since 2019, he's coached South St. Paul, which last season fell a game short of the state tournament. The Packers (11-0) this season are among the top-ranked teams in Class 3A.
In legal circles, however, McCollister's standing as a personal injury attorney has taken a hit.
Last month, McCollister, 40, of Mendota Heights, was charged with felony conspiracy to commit health care fraud. He is accused of playing a role in a scheme to rip off car insurance companies with bogus medical claims in Minnesota and elsewhere in 2016 and 2017.
Also last month, a state agency recommended that McCollister be disbarred for professional misconduct in 2019 and 2020. McCollister opened his own injury law practice in March 2015.
Federal prosecutors on Dec. 8 charged McCollister by felony information, a process by which a defendant agrees to waive a grand jury indictment and instead plead guilty. On Wednesday, he will make an initial court appearance before District Judge Wilhelmina Wright in St. Paul and enter his guilty plea, Ryan Pacyga, McCollister's attorney, said this week.
"He's kind of immediately just cooperating with the process and falling on the sword for himself," Pacyga said.
Sentencing guidelines call for 10 to 16 months in prison, Pacyga said. A sentencing hearing date will be scheduled after Wednesday's arraignment.
Dave Webb, superintendent of South St. Paul Schools, said this week that he could not comment on the federal charge because it falls under employee private personnel data.
McCollister has coached the high school's basketball team since November 2019. Since August, he's been a full-time high school paraprofessional, working with student-support specialists who focus on student behavior "to help kids turn a corner to get back on track," Webb said.
If McCollister does plead guilty to the criminal charge, he would face immediate termination from the school district under its employee policy.
Other than petty misdemeanor moving violations dating back to 2017, McCollister does not have a criminal record in Minnesota.
McCollister did not respond to requests by the Pioneer Press for comment.
South St. Paul High School Principal Chuck Ochocki and Chad Sexauer, the school's athletics director and assistant principal, also did not return calls seeking comment.
WHAT HE IS ACCUSED OF
According to the federal charge, McCollister and unnamed others conspired to defraud auto insurers on policies provided pursuant to the state's no-fault insurance law.
Under that law, Minnesota insurers must provide at least $40,000 in personal injury protection on their auto policies. Clients hurt in a car crash can get their medical bills and other related expenses paid for, whether the crash was their fault or not.
The charging document does not spell out what McCollister is alleged to have done and it is unclear why it was handed down last month. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said this week that she could not provide additional details about the case beyond the document, but added that more information will be discussed at Wednesday's arraignment and in the plea agreement.
According to Pacyga, prosecutors allege McCollister hired "runners" to recruit clients who were supposedly injured in car crashes. The same runners would work with chiropractors who would fraudulently bill auto insurance companies for those clients' care, taking advantage of the no-fault insurance law.
In March 2016, according to Pacyga, McCollister asked a "runner," who was really an undercover agent, to find people who purportedly had been injured in car accidents and bring them to a chiropractor for treatment. "I mean, they had him up on a wire in a St. Paul restaurant talking about those sorts of things," Pacyga said.
It is a state, not federal, crime for an attorney to work with runners. What got McCollister prosecuted in U.S. District Court was drafting a letter to an insurance company or companies demanding payment for chiropractic care that he knew was unnecessary, Pacyga said.
He said McCollister "lost his way for a while, his judgment spun out of control."
"That was quite a while ago in the past, but when this came up, he wanted to address it immediately," Pacyga said. "And rather than put the government through its paces in a case, he knew what he had done was wrong and he wanted to resolve this case quickly."
SUSPENDED FROM PRACTICING LAW
McCollister was admitted to practice law in Minnesota in 2009 and has been suspended by the state Supreme Court three times for a variety of misconduct.
He remains on a two-year suspension, which was handed down by the state's highest court in October 2020 following an investigation by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility, a state agency that found a dozen instances of misconduct. They include failing to convey settlement offers to clients; failing to obtain a client's consent to dismiss a petition for arbitration of no-fault benefits; and failing to identify in a written contingent fee agreement how costs and expenses would be calculated. He also was accused of practicing law while suspended.
McCollister's professional conduct was first called out by the state agency in 2013, when he "unconditionally" admitted to allegations that he was paid by a competing attorney outside his firm for referring potential clients. McCollister's law license was suspended for 30 days.
In 2019, McCollister again was suspended from practicing law for 30 days for misconduct, including that he had agreed to a settlement without a client's knowledge or consent and forged the client's name on the settlement agreement.
Last month, McCollister and the state Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility entered into a stipulation where he admits he intentionally misappropriated from at least three clients more than $16,300 in client funds from his trust account between July 2020 and December 2020. McCollister provided notice to each client of his misappropriation but has not made any restitution, the state agency concluded.
Under the Dec. 6 stipulation, McCollister agrees to waive his procedural rights and accepts the recommended discipline of no longer being able to practice law in the state. A petition for the disciplinary action will be reviewed by the state Supreme Court, which can accept or reject the disbarment recommendation.
SUCCESS ON THE BASKETBALL COURT
McCollister, who grew up in New Prague, Minn., landed his first head coaching job at Breck in 2010, after spending a few years as an assistant at Minneapolis Henry and Holy Angels. He transformed Breck from a five-win team to a 19-win team that reached the section finals in 2013.
After coaching the next two years at St. Croix Preparatory Academy, he spent four seasons at Brooklyn Center, helping the Centaurs reach the Class 2A state tournament for the first time in 35 years in 2018. They finished in fourth place.
McCollister coached Brooklyn Center for one more season before taking the job at South St. Paul, a school that had won just 19 percent of its games over the previous 10-year stretch and produced a dreadful 7-153 record in the Metro East Conference.
In McCollister's first season, the Packers won 18 games, breaking a streak of 18 seasons in which they won fewer than 10, before losing in the section semifinals. The team went 19-2 last season, before losing to Richfield 93-90 in the section final.
"This has kind of been our M.O., to come in and breathe life into programs," McCollister told the Pioneer Press midway through his first season. "Now this is the one we want to sustain."
The undefeated Packers next play Friday at Hastings High School.

Experience luxury in a 5 star barn conversion with impressive countryside views surrounding you.
This beautifully built barn is available for the first time as a holiday home near Canterbury in Kent. Just recently finished, with a host of traditional features including oak beams, limestone flooring throughout and stunning windows that allow the light to flood into the rooms. Tastefully furnished in a modern contemporary style, this Kent holiday home has been finished to an extremely high standard. Just a short drive from the historic City of Canterbury and the Kent coast with towns such as Sandwich, Deal and Whitstable. Bacchus Barn is a very special holiday home in Kent and would make an ideal destination for long vacations and short breaks throughout the year. Enjoy cross country bike riding for those of a sporty inclination or take a picnic to the surrounding vineyard the bench and oak swing in the woodland, or badger watch in one of the surrounding butterfly glades.
"Such a lovely place. Beautiful house and views."
"Wonderful place and lovely views."
"Lovely spot, gorgeous views (& sheep)."
"Lovely accommodation and location for relaxing break. Many thanks, Penny G"
"A beautiful Barn, we all loved our stay and didn't want to leave! The kiddies loved being able to borrow the dog! My absolute ideal home. Thank you!"
"Very nice place to stay and really close to Canterbury."
"Absolutely beautiful barn in a fantastic setting. Every detail was thought of."
"A beautiful barn, everything of a very high standard. We were very comfortable. Loved the area, and the views and the walks"
"The holiday cottage was amazing! Had lots of wonderful space. This is our dream home! Very relaxing stay. Thank you for all the thoughtful touches"
"Such a relaxing stay! We loved the views from the patio! Beautiful village within easy reach. The perfect spot. Thank you for being so helpful and welcoming!"
"An enjoyable stay. Lovely surroundings. Beautiful Barn!"
"Morning. Just to let you know we had a fabulous week at the barn. Many thanks The johnsons. Off back home now. Regards to you all"
"We had a wonderful time at Bacchus Barn - the owners were incredibly helpful and friendly without being intrusive in any way. The welcome basket was super and even included some sweets for our 6 year old, so she felt special right from the start. The property location is absolutely lovely - the sky and stars were amazing! We visited Port Lympne Wildlife Park, Canterbury Cathedral and the Kent coast - all within easy reach and all stunning places. We spent the following week in France so used the Eurotunnel (our first time) - being just down the road it was brilliant - so easy and convenient to use. We had a thoroughly wonderful time and would love you to pass on our thoughts to the owners ... 10/10."
"An unforgettable stay in a beautiful barn. We have had a wonderful stay and only wish it could have been longer."
"Thank you for helping to make our first visit to Kent so relaxing and enjoyable. The barn is fantastic and the little extra touches, like the delivery of freshly laid eggs were much appreciated."
"The countryside walks in the area were lovely and the barn was superb. It was very nice being so close to Canterbury and its amazing Cathedral."
"A beautiful property with stunning views. We will miss having our breakfast on the patio every morning. Petham Village was quaint and delightful. We had a wonderful holiday."
"Our two boys and us had a perfect time at the Bacchus Barn. It is a very modern, spacious and light cottage with a stunning view. For us, this property is perfectly situated. Only a half an hour drive from the Channel Tunnel, direct access to the Denge Woods for hiking and mountain biking, a few minutes driving to Canterbury, less than an hour with the high speed train to London, close to the coast/beaches, and very freindly owners who really spoiled us. What else can you wish for?"
With Canterbury just 3 miles away, experience the best of both worlds. Local pubs such as the Compass Inn, would be a great stop off after a long walk.
Bacchus Barn: Sleeps 4 + 2, in 2 bedrooms (1 en-suite),1 sofa bed in living room and 1 bathroom with shower.
3 steps lead up to the kitchen diner with seating for 10. The kitchen is fitted with a range cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
A communal utility area is also available with washing machine, iron and ironing board.
Master bedroom (sleeps 2) with king size double and en-suite shower room.
Double bedroom (sleeps 2) overlooks the amazing farmland which surrounds the barn.
Luxury bathroom has bath and shower.
To the back of the barn is a large gravelled area providing secure parking for three cars.

Why the higher than average submission fee?
Often we hear music that doesn't make the final cut for a particular opportunity but we go ahead and select the song anyway because we believe the song is appropriate for other opportunities we're working on. Here at Music of The Sea, we fill dozens of sync requests every week. We don't have time to listen to everything so the higher submission fee tends to discourage all but the best - and we sign a lot of music and we place almost all of it.
We only offer one deal and the terms are the same for everyone, so don't submit if you're seeking another type of deal. If we select your song, you give us exclusive rights to the song for 5 years. If after 5 years we haven't licensed your song, the rights revert back to you. If we do license your song, we share in the revenue. Often, if we love the song we hear and want to work with you we will also have interest in hearing other songs in your catalog and possibly doing a broader deal.

Avant-harpist Mary Lattimore hits the open road with Messthetics
Heartstring highways
THE MESSTHETICS
with Mary Lattimore
8 p.m. Wednesday, March 27
Will's Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave.
willspub.org
When Mary Lattimore first played the City Beautiful, the harpist soothed the savage beasts that are True Widow fans with an opening set of ethereal, beguiling, challenging instrumentals plucked out on a massive harp and fed through pedals and effects. Orlando Weekly has seen a lot of live music over the years, but the incongruity of witnessing this in the company of a horde of devotees of the doomy shoegaze of True Widow was nothing less than surreal. And yet, in about five minutes, disbelief melted away as the audience stood spellbound.
For Mary Lattimore, this was just another gig. She's taken her harp and her songs out of the art-music world and fearlessly into the rock club circuit with unfettered optimism. "Generally, with clubs I'll be the first harpist who's ever played there," she says. "I'm kind of teaching them, I guess. … But people are open."
Since that True Widow tour in 2016, she's racked up miles traveling alongside indie rockers Parquet Courts, Danish punks Iceage and drone metal legend Dylan Carlson (Earth), and now she's on a run of dates opening for the Messthetics, instrumental jammers boasting ex-members of the legendary Fugazi. She relishes the challenge. "I feel like the more different the pairing is," says Lattimore, "the more likely people are to be curious and quiet."
Lattimore has been on the road fairly nonstop the last couple of years, with 2019 providing no respite. But the nomadic life of a touring musician agrees with her. "I've worked some crappy day jobs that made me really depressed and sad," she says. "So I definitely prefer driving down to Florida, just me and my harp, with the window rolled down, instead of working in an office all day."
Lattimore travels alone, driving from gig to gig with just her harp and a selection of "murderous" podcasts and audiobooks for company. She speaks of her harp less as a tool and more as a traveling companion, at one point exclaiming, "How am I going to sleep [on tour] if the harp is in the car and I'm feeling guilty about it the whole time?"
During our conversation, Lattimore remarks that "it's cool to be able to skate between these worlds," referring to the seeming opposites of the "serious" experimental music world and the rock world. But even the most cursory of glances at her performing CV attests to the fact that few have done it as deftly as her. Since she starting making music in 2013, she's performed and collaborated with everyone from Thurston Moore to Jarvis Cocker, from Ed Askew to Sharon Van Etten. She's soundtracked experimental films and provided accompaniment to artist Nick Cave's Soundsuits in New York. In 2014, she was awarded a Pew Fellowship and used the time and funds to road-trip West and record and release the stunning At the Dam album on indie tastemakers Ghostly International. This is a music career very much on her own terms.
And these terms often revolve around the joys of collaboration, be it recorded or on stage. She likens collaborating with friends to a "conversation," and enthuses about recent and upcoming work with Meg Baird (Espers), Steve Moore (Zombi) and Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, with whom she is about to release a record and tour. The alliance with McCaughan is particularly full-circle for Lattimore.
"Mac and I met when I was a little nerdy intern at Merge Records a long time ago," she laughs. "He's doing synths – like a mad-scientist synth arsenal that he's experimenting with – and I'm playing harp." Her enthusiasm for these musical conversations found their fullest fruit in January's digital release of a remix album of the songs from last year's Hundreds of Days LP done by musical comrades far and wide. "Getting the remixes was almost like hearing your friends react to your song," Lattimore enthuses. "And hearing them manipulate it is like a window into their brain."
Mary Lattimore drops into town ever so briefly with the Messthetics on Wednesday, so catch up with this restless artist while you can. Soon enough she'll be far down the road, on to the next city, the next stage.
The Messthetics prove to be more than the sum of their Fugazi parts at Will's Pub

Nigerian paralympic gold medalist, Esther Oyema gets 4-year ban for violating anti-doping rules
victor cross May 21, 2020
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has banned former Paralympic Para powerlifting champion Esther Oyema for four years after she committed an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV).
The Nigerian, who won gold at London 2012 in the women's up to 48kg, returned an adverse analytical finding for a prohibited substance in a urine sample provided on 28 January 2019 after competing at the Lagos 2019 International Para Powerlifting Competition in Nigeria.
The substance was 19-norandrosterone. This is included on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2019 Prohibited List under the class S1.1B Endogenous Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) and their Metabolites and isomers.
As a result of her violation, Oyema will be ineligible for competition for four years from 3 May 2019 to 2 May 2023. She has also been stripped of the gold medal which she won in the women's up to 55kg competition in Lagos, together with any points and prizes.
Each athlete is strictly liable for the substances found in his or her sample. An ADRV occurs whenever a prohibited substance (or its metabolites or markers) is found in his or her bodily specimen, whether or not the athlete intentionally or unintentionally used a prohibited substance or was negligent or otherwise at fault.
As a signatory of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC), the IPC remains committed to a doping-free sporting environment at all levels. The IPC, together with the International Federations and the National Paralympic Committees, established the IPC Anti-Doping Code (the Code) to prevent doping in sport for Paralympic athletes, in the spirit of fair play. The Code is in conformity with the general principles of the WADC.

Doc J – the best!
Dr. Michael Johnson is by far the greatest doctor I have been to. He was my OB for 2 of my 3 children. He is patient, kind and perhaps his most defining quality - genuine. He never cared how many small complaints I had during pregnancy and was sympathetic and helpful. He was comforting and real. I can't say enough great things about him. I wish him continued success in his career.

Moon Over Kinloch
by Will Truman · April 26, 2015
Last week, Tod and I both wrote about some goings-on in Parma, Missouri, where the town elected a black mayor and suddenly everybody quit. We both suspected that it was mostly corruption with a side of racism. It turned out to be mostly petty small-town politics (though with perhaps a more generous helping of racism).
Which brings us to Kinloch, Missouri, where another newly elected black mayor has run into some resistence:
Betty McCray was not only prevented from entering city hall, she was also told she'd been impeached before she got a chance to start.
McCray ran for mayor in the April 7 election and won.
"I won. The people spoke," McCray said. "I was sworn in by the St. Louis County. Today I take office. I want them out, I want the keys."
After the election results were certified earlier this week by the St. Louis County Board of Elections, Kinloch's outgoing administration refused to allow the city clerk to give McCray the oath of office, claiming voter fraud.
"Today is the first day that that the city hall door has been unlocked. They keep it locked," McCray said. "You got to beat and you got to bang (to get in). They have an officer police sitting right at the door."
Given that Kinloch is overwhelmingly African-American, this is likely a dish made almost solely of petty small-town politics and/or corruption.
Remember when we were talking about Parma having 6 officers for 700 people? Kinloch has 20 for 300. To be fair, that is likely to be a holdover from when Kinloch had a population in the thousands, twenty-five years ago.
In late 2013 and early 2014, there was a big to-do in Kinloch when a previous mayor, Darren Small, was removed from office by a judge after pleading guilty to a failure to pay child support. The interim mayor, Theda Wilson was arrested when she called the police about a burglary. She then made moves to abolish the police department, but Small was apparently reinstated before that happened.
Unlike Parma, which is strictly rural, Kinloch is a suburb of St. Louis and near St. Louis's primary airport, which used to be called Kinloch field. Here's a picture of Teddy Roosevelt at Kinloch Field:

zic in reply to Will H. says:
I wonder how many people work there?
Living in a resort town as I do, I know it's not always wise to judge the quantity/cost of local services by population. My region, defined by school district and 4 towns with intertwined economy, has about 5,000 residents; but 18,000 beds for rent and regularly hosts up to 60,000 visitors a day. This means that we sometimes need policing for 40,000 to 60,000 people, not for 5,000.
So if there is a big industrial area where thousands of people work, the numbers might be justified; depending on how many are full time, how many are part time or reserve.
Might.
Wouldn't rule out over-policing without a lot more information.
/and are we seeing a pattern in the wake of Ferguson?Report
Will H. in reply to zic says:
There was already a pattern prior to Ferguson.
It's been long known, even prior to this.Report
Yes, that's already known.
I'm thinking of a follow-up pattern, establishing itself. People in small, racial-minority towns read the Ferguson report; and if they saw the pattern you identify, @will-h , so I'm wondering if there's thing going on — someone running for local office and the populace actually getting out to vote.Report
I admire your optimism, and sincerely wish I could take part.
However, I'm still fighting it out in court with St. Louis County as to whether to post online the words of MLK might somehow constitute a criminal offense.
(It was actually a "quasi-criminal" proceeding, the second one after the rules changes went into effect; and that's how they got away with it. . . mostly . . . )
As a resident of Milwaukee County, Wisc., my website was viewable from St. Louis County, Mo., etc. Long story, and I'd love to tell it, but not here.Report
@will-h
I'm still fighting it out in court with St. Louis County as to whether to post online the words of MLK might somehow constitute a criminal offense.
the mind boggles.
Have you spoken with anybody at the ACLU? Because the legal process is that rules that are a violation of free speech (government here would be doing the violating, so it actually would be a violation,) are meant to be challenged in our court system. That's how the system works, or so reading legal writing here have taught me.
(Thanks, lawyers and future judges. No sarcasm intended.)Report
That's what I was thinking.
And believe me, my mind is still boggling.
But I can see why Ferguson had to happen. It was required to, because no one thought nothing of it when the guy from Milwaukee was prosecuted for posting the MLK.
One thing it taught me though is that anyone who claims that United States citizens have some manner of rights have never attempted to vindicate them in a court of law.
If there is anything more reviled in the federal courts than a United States citizen entering a court of law claiming to have some manner of right, it is any sense of duty on the part of the judiciary to provide a fair and impartial tribunal.
Have you spoken with anybody at the ACLU?
Yes, I did, and they told me it was too complex of a case for their limited resources. At the time, they had devoted a lot locally to something to do with the firefighters' union* (I guess their union was in far worse shape than mine ever was, even with our pension scandals and reductions).
The Electronic Frontier Foundation refused it as well because of limited resources. This was right after they had lost the Crystal Cox case.
Short answer:
It happened at an inconvenient time for any representation options through some organization.
* Oddly enough, that same judge went on to rule against the firefighters' union.Report
Is there any significance to the fact that all of these seem to be happening in the fairly narrow strip of the state along the Mississippi River? Are there demographic or cultural differences as you go from east to west across the state?Report
Will H. in reply to Michael Cain says:
There's this.Report
Tod Kelly says:
Oddly enough, I'm almost done with a novel about vaudeville, the use of music to create reality, and the destruction of the universe by the forces of (literal) darkness.
Much of it takes place in Parma.Report
Will Truman in reply to Tod Kelly says:
I assume not Missouri or Ohio.Report
Wild speculation by a Californian who's never been that far east:
I wonder if it's about borders. Looking at Census data, I see the Black population of Missouri is overwhelmingly concentrated in the metropolitan areas of St. Louis and Kansas City. But in the St. Louis area, Most of the population, both Black and White, is on the Missouri side of the river. In the Kansas City area, most of the White population is on the Kansas side, while nearly all of the Black population is on the Missouri side.Report
Will Truman in reply to Alan Scott says:
That's intersting about St. Louis. Prior to Ferguson, the only largely black suburb I knew of was in Illinois.Report
Michael Cain in reply to Alan Scott says:
Everyone should see the Mississippi River at least once, preferably in full flood. Cities established along the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri rivers really didn't have much choice about staying on one bank or the other. Kansas City is on the south bank, and the river doesn't form the boundary with the state of Kansas to the west of the city, so it can sprawl across the state line.Report
That's not historically accurate.
St. Louis:
Cahokia is the oldest part of the St. Louis metro area. It was once the largest settlement in the lower 48.
East St. Louis is in Illinois. Alton (and East Alton) are separate towns that grew into the St. Louis metro.
Madison County is the oldest county in Illinois (it used to be a lot bigger). Belleville is one of the older towns in the area. You can tell it was French by the way the streets run.
On the Missouri side, Grant's Farm was out in the boonies when he built it.
Also, St. Charles is separated by a river.
Kansas City:
Possum Hollow was the original establishment in that is present day Westport. This was the last stop of civilization on the Santa Fe trail. Then the river bottoms area grew into an industrial center way before it was known as the ghetto of Italian immigrants largely run by the mob.
Parkville was a thriving port city dealing in slaves and hemp. Likewise, Riverside was a huge farm and trading center. Platte City really is its own little town still.
Clay County, where North Kansas City is located, is separated from Jackson County, the heavily urbanized part of Kansas City, by the Missouri River. (And there is a distinct difference to residence between "North Kansas City" and "Kansas City North.")
On the Kansas side, Argentine has always been over 90% black.
Overland Park is actually the largest city in Kansas, IIRC, but it is distinctly different from one side of the street to the other.
Gardner used to be a little town in the boonies all by itself, but has since grown into the metro area.
Same with Belton on the Missouri side.Report
While I don't want to make direct comparisons of Kinloch and Ferguson, I do recommend reading this thoroughly-reported story in The Atlantic by Walter Johnson, Ferguson's Fortune 500 Company.
And while the reporting definitely has a 'liberal' bent (since it's looking into how the town used the town's black population as a cash cow via policing, that's obvious,) and while the scope of what's covered is amazing, I'm troubled by the title, I'd have called the piece 'The Economics of Ferguson,' or some such; this is misleading and somewhat inflammatory; otherwise, it's excellent reporting and writing.Report

Q: Why I'm getting two different answers when trying to figure out the probability of a single event? Question: Two cards are drawn at random with replacement from a deck of $52$ cards. What is the probability that none of the cards are kings?
Approach $1$:
Suppose, $P(A) = Probability \ of \ not \ getting \ a \ king \ card \ on \ the \ first \ draw$
and $P(B) = Probability \ of \ not \ getting \ a \ king \ card \ on \ the \ second \ draw$
So, $P(A\cap B) = P(A).P(B) =  \frac{48}{52}.\frac{48}{52} = \frac{144}{169}   \approx 0.85$
Approach $2$:
Suppose, $P(C) = Probability \ of \ getting \ a \ king \ card \ on \ the \ first \ draw$
and $P(D) = Probability \ of \ getting \ a \ king \ card \ on \ the \ second \ draw$
So, $P(C\cap D) = P(C).P(D) =  \frac{4}{52}.\frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{169}$
Then, $Probability \ of \ not \ getting \ two \ kings = 1 \ - Probability \ of \ getting \ two \ kings = 1 - \frac{1}{169} = \frac{168}{169} \approx 0.99$
Could someone please explain why I'm getting two different answers?
Thanks in advance!

A: The compliment of the event None of the two cards is king is
Either i) both cards are kings
Or ii) one of the cards is a king
So $P(A \cap B) = 1 - P(C\cup D)$
$P(C \cup D) = P(C) + P(D) - P(C \cap D)$
$ = \frac{4}{52} + \frac{4}{52} - \frac{4}{52} \cdot \frac{4}{52} = \frac{25}{169}$

A: Because "none of the cards is a king" is not the same as "not getting two kings". It is also possible to get just one king.

Con: Weight and Gas Mileage In addition to the extra cost of buying and owning a car with AWD, these vehicles also return worse fuel economy than 2-wheel-drive models.
AWD systems must use more energy delivering power to all four wheels, and they are also heavier, which hampers fuel economy further..
10 Most Reliable Cars with AWDSubaru Impreza.Subaru Legacy.Ford Fusion.Buick LaCrosse.Jaguar XE.Porsche Panamera.Mercedes-Benz C-Class.Audi A6.More items…
Since AWD turns four wheels instead of just two, there's that much more grip, and when the available traction is very low—as on snow and ice—you can accelerate better, with less or even no tire slippage. The vehicle feels stable and doesn't slip or fishtail in a way that makes your heart beat faster.
Now that we know it is possible to drift a front-wheel-drive car, can any FWD car do it? Technically, yes, because it's all about speed, technique, and timing. However, the more power the car has to get up to higher speed, the better. Just remember to drive safely.
The short answer is yes, an all-wheel drive vehicle is more expensive to maintain for one simple reason: an AWD vehicle has more components. … According to EPA estimates, the AWD Rogue will cost around $150 more a year in fuel, if driving 15,000 miles a year.
In general, cars equipped with 2-wheel drive get better gas mileage than models that use all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. There's a reason: AWD or 4WD cars have to send power to each of the vehicle's wheels, which requires extra energy. … AWD cars also offer worse gas mileage than 2WD rivals because they're heavier.
All-wheel-drive systems deliver power to all four wheels at the same time, or they automatically engage torque to all four wheels when needed. That's why all-wheel drive is best for driving on snowy and icy roads.
How do you change an FWD to an AWD? … If a 4WD/AWD version is available you just trade in the FWD and buy the 4WD/AWD. Conversion would cost much more as you have to destroy a vehicle to get the trans. Or there is Project Binky!
FWD cars are good at climbing hills and perform well in slippery conditions and light snow. … All-Wheel Drive: AWD systems deliver power to each corner of the vehicle, similar to 4WD cars. However, unlike 4WD cars, AWD is always engaged, and delivers varying amounts of power to the axles depending on traction conditions.
While many people think that all-wheel drive is enough to take on dangerous ice and snow, there is almost no difference between AWD-equipped vehicles and common front-wheel drive cars when it comes to cornering, braking and handling in winter weather.
The best thing about AWD is that it gives you some of the advantages of both RWD and FWD — while minimizing the weaker points of either of those layouts. The number one advantage of AWD is excellent traction — both on dry pavement and in poor weather.
Front-wheel drive has worse acceleration than rear-wheel drive, which is why most sporty and race cars use rear-wheel drive. With all the weight up front, front-wheel drive can make handling more difficult. CV joints/boots in FWD vehicles tend to wear out sooner than rear-wheel drive vehicles.
All-wheel-drive vehicles sense wheel slip and adapt to wet weather very well. AWD is better than FWD in the rain. You will notice the difference right away. Remember this:AWD helps keep your car stable on wet pavement.
Is AWD that much safer and worth the roughly $2,000 premium these systems command? The short answer is this: AWD and 4WD help a vehicle accelerate in slippery conditions, but they don't aid with braking and only sometimes improve handling. That said, you shouldn't necessarily cross the feature off your shopping list.
When other types of vehicles feature AWD, it's more the vehicle than the drive train that affects insurance cost. Two door coupes, for example, tend to have sporty styling and superior performance compared to the four door sedan version of the same model. Either car could have AWD or FWD.
