look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
From a 500 ml brown bottle. Pours out a bright clear light coppery hue, creamy off-white head that settles to a thickish cap.
Sweet bready malt on the nose, some toasted malt, with strong notes of floral and perfumey hops.
Granted that this is a single hop varietal DIPA, however the flavour still seems to be lacking some cohesiveness, let alone balance. The malt is almost cloyingly sweet up front, and is eventually joined by spicy, leafy green hops that never seems to overpower the malt, let alone balance it in any way.
Mouthfeel seems to be on the fuller side, silky slick texture, with assertive carbonation.
Once again Charlevoix puts out an ambivalent offering from their single hop DIPA series, where the malt almost completely overshadows the hop in question, making one wonder where the DIPA is in all of this, let alone the spotlighting of the single hop varietal. Not a bad beer, but Charlevoix is capable of much more than this.

Bottle into a Steamwhistle footed pockal
Visual (4): Lighter golden hue, with a bit of haziness. Pure white, creamy head that settled from 2 finger into 1 and lasts. Amazing lacing right from the start. Small carbonation bubbles float through the body
Aroma (3.5): Light but prevalent aromas. A slightly grainy malt base mixes with slightly sour citrus and spice aromas. A definite fruity hop with lemon-lime and scents of apple.
Taste (4): A real sweet & bitter balance. Malts lend a light sweetness that coats the pallet, and the tasting ends with a kick of bitterness that has a slightly spicy hop finish sticking to your pallet. Despite the DIPA name, this beer really has light and sweet malt flavours that step-up to the bitter kick on the finish.
Mouthfeel (3): Light and creamy body with a light, but active, feeling of carbonation on the pallet. Light but holds impact.
Overall (3.5): Not a big DIPA, but rather a beer that plays between sweet and bitter flavours letting each have their day in the taste. Malt flavours were lighter than expected but the hop flavours were interesting, and would warrent another tasting in the future.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
I've never had these hops before... interesting.
A: Hazy golden-bronze with a white had, bit of retention, leaves a bit of lace.
S: Papaya, mango, bit dank, sponge toffee, candied pineapple.
T: Candied tropical fruit (papaya, mango, pineapple), sponge toffee, restrained bitterness, alcohol is subtle.
M: Some residual sweetness and hop acidity.
O: Hop candy. It's good, but I'd prefer a little more attenuation to let the bitterness come through.
It's not as pretty as their Columbus DIPA, but I like this one a bit better.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
A - very hazy golden orange, two finger of white head retained well and left all kinds of sticky lacing
S - mild hop notes of pepper and herbs, some citrus, grainy, surprisingly subtle aromas
T - sweet butterscotch, light pepper and mandarin, some bready and toastiness, very balanced flavours but a little light on the hoppiness for a DIPA, but super tasty none the less
M - medium with solid carbonation, juicy and smooth, finishes with a slight bitterness, and 9% ABV is nowhere to be found, dangerously drinkable
O - very well balances, tasty, and easy drinking, not hop heavy like you would expect from a DIPA, a must try for any beer fan, hop head or not

Props to joemcgrath27 for procuring this selection, which also happens to be my 800th review.
A - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a pale orange hue, thumb of head with solid retention and nice chunky lacing.
S - Scent is rather mild, fruity citrus notes, musty caramel malts, and a touch of burnt sugar and honey on the finish.
T - The hop notes are mellow, but in a good way, offering a solid dose of earthy herbal flavors alongside some sweet lemon iced tea notes. The caramel flavors shine through on the finish and linger alongside a bitter citrus flavor. ABV is undetectable.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and a touch of dry on the finish.
O - Incredibly well balanced DIPA whose high octane is dangerously well hidden. Solid hop flavors which offer up more earthy tones that are complemented by the caramel malts. A pleasurable ale and certainly worthy. Glad I was able to test this brew.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - Pours a cloudy pale amber colour with a finger width of foamy white head.
Smell - Grapefruit, slightly spicy, light hops, floral notes.
Taste - Surprisingly sweet flavour with hint of citrus and moderate hoppiness. Touch of bitterness in the aftertaste, but not as powerful as I was expecting.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light carbonation. Feels a little sticky on the teeth.
Overall - Not your standard DIPA. I was surprised by the sweetness and a little disappointed by the lack of hops presence. Besides that, still enjoyable and worth a try.

Thanks to Papat444 for the trade on this!
Poured from a 500ml bottle into a goblet to an almost clear golden/amber colour with a small white head.
On the nose hops, citrus, alcohol and a little herb/spice.
The flavours are of citrus fruit, nameley grapefruit allied to yeast, dough, bready maltiness. Not a particularly sweet tasting IPA in my opinion with a fair bitter aftertaste. The alcohol is fairly well disguised in the flavours so reasonably well balanced in this respect.
Medium carbonation and body, a little lacing on my glass as I drank.
Overall a good enough beer but not quite the real deal for a DIPA in my opinion, something not quite ticking all the boxes, can't really get a handle on what though !?!

Bottle shared by sprague11, thanks John. Bottled December 12, 2011, 500ml into a tulip.
Golden yellow, lacing is spiderweb-like and a good amount of retention. Nose has bright citrus zest, some straw and pale grain notes. A hint of corn. Taste again has the citrus zest, but is a bit gentler than the nose. Breadiness, slight honey and grain in the malts. Sweet, with some orange and subtle grapefruit fruitiness. Medium feel and on the much sweeter side for a DIPA, understated bitterness. Not the best beer available in the single hop DIPA series.

Aramis has a very nice colour - a light golden amber-ish hue with a head that just doesn't quit. Great lacing too. Great looking beer.
The smell is fantastic. Loads of things come into play, such as the fruit aromas, malt, and alcohol esters. The taste is pretty good too but I find the alcohol a little overwhelming to be honest. Its really pungent. Interesting hop character, although not as hoppy as most Imperial IPAs. The mouthfell is just above average - slightly dry, well carbonated. That's about it.
Overall, this is a pretty good beer. The only real problem I have with it is the alcohol. Its a little strong. Good Belgian beers can hide strong alcohol content amazingly well. Mix their techniques with this recipe and we may have a winner.

500ml bottle. Another heretofore unknown to me hop breed, again used in a new DIPA experiment - between Charlevoix' crazy cows and Alley Kat's multi-chromatic dragons, I feel like I'm totally getting schooled. So...very...schooled...
Anyway, this beer pours a clear, somewhat pale golden copper hue, with three solid fingers of puffy, cushiony, foamy ecru head, which settles to a chunky flotsam scene, some splattered lace adding to the debris-field effect.
It smells of warm caramel malt, a strong floral perfume character, and an earthy, spicy, hoppiness. The taste is quite in line with the aroma - relatively soft toffee/caramel malt, in the face of a forceful metallic spicy, herbal, floral character, that has more than fleeting echoes of saucy muscat grapes. Interesting, I guess, and definitely outside expectations, if there were any to begin with.
The bubbles are not that pervasive, but still quite tight, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a lingering flinty alcohol stripe. It finishes off-dry, sure, but that spicy, floral, perfumed, edgy otherness just seems to run the whole freaking show.
Not a bad brew, per se, and the tingly booze is generally well integrated. However, as these new hops get the sink or swim treatment by being thrust into the spotlight all by their lonesome, it seems that the newer, unknown types lack the oomph needed to keep up with their DIPA host. Anecdotal evidence, I admit, but, drudging through this makes me wistful for the Columbus or Amarillo incarnations, maybe strictly out of the attendant familiarity.

Bottle: Poured a hazy amber/orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of light citrus notes and medium dry caramel malt. Taste is mix between light fruity and citrusy hops with a touch of resin and some dry caramel malt. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Interesting though missing some dry hops qualities.

500ml bottle poured into tulip 23/1/12
A clear copper with some tiny bubbles feeding a three finger foam that slowly falls too a dense thick film that leaves a couple partial rings of lace
S sweet floral notes with a little tropical fruit candied pineapple perhaps
T now I get the spicy hops the bottle says and some leafy hops too, there's some wet wood and other earthy aspects, its a little sweet and I'm getting more booze then I'd like
M full for the color pretty sticky and a little heat, not too bad though but keeping it from being great
O decent beer but not what I was hoping for after others in this series, a little sweet and boozy but still pretty good
perhaps my least favorite from this series but still well worth trying,

Bottled on 1st december 2011.
The beer color is copper. It is a clear beer as all the ones from this series. Not much carbonation is observed from the glass. Nice head on top of it. Always sticks to the glass. In line with the others from this series. The aroma is light, but I get some fruity notes and floral too. Its not very aggressive. Aramis is a nice fruity hop. Inviting aroma. I like it. The taste is dominated by fruitiness. Not overly bitter, as one might expect from an IBU of 80, however I think this one is the most bitter of them all. As the beer warms up, it gets a little spicy. Nice little touch here. I really liked it. Some might not like the lacking of bitterness, but I don't mind a lot.
A nice beer.

Can ovarian cancer be found early?
Next Topic
How is ovarian cancer staged?
How is ovarian cancer diagnosed?
Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer may cause several signs and symptoms. Women are more likely to have symptoms if the disease has spread beyond the ovaries, but even early stage ovarian cancer can cause them. The most common symptoms include:
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- Urinary symptoms such as urgency (always feeling like you have to go) or frequency (having to go often)
These symptoms are also commonly caused by benign (non-cancerous) diseases and by cancers of other organs. When they are caused by ovarian cancer, they tend to be persistent and represent a change from normal − for example, they occur more often or are more severe. If a woman has these symptoms almost daily for more than a few weeks, she should see her doctor, preferably a gynecologist.
Others symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:
- Fatigue
- Upset stomach
- Back pain
- Pain during sex
- Constipation
- Menstrual changes
- Abdominal swelling with weight loss
However, these symptoms are more likely to be caused by other conditions, and most of them occur just about as often in women who don't have ovarian cancer.
Physical exam
Your doctor will first take your history and do a physical exam to look for signs of ovarian cancer. These include finding an enlarged ovary (on a pelvic exam) and signs of fluid in the abdomen (which is called ascites).
If there is reason to suspect you have ovarian cancer based on your symptoms and/or physical exam, your doctor will order some tests to check further.
Consultation with a specialist
If your pelvic exam or other tests suggest that you have ovarian cancer, you will need a doctor or surgeon who specializes in treating women with this type of cancer. A gynecologic oncologist is an obstetrician/gynecologist who is specially trained in treating cancers of the female reproductive system. Treatment by a gynecologic oncologist helps ensure that you get the best kind of surgery for your cancer. It has also has been shown to help patients with ovarian cancer live longer. Anyone suspected of having ovarian cancer should see this type of specialist prior to surgery.
Imaging studies
Imaging tests like computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasound studies can confirm whether a pelvic mass is present. These studies cannot confirm that the mass is a cancer, but they may be useful if your doctor is looking for spread of ovarian cancer to other tissues and organs.
Ultrasound (ultrasonography) is the use of sound waves to create an image on a video screen. Sound waves are released from a small probe placed in the woman's vagina or on the surface of her abdomen. The sound waves create echoes as they enter the ovaries and other organs. The same probe detects the echoes that bounce back, and a computer translates the pattern of echoes into a picture.
This is often the first test done if a problem with the ovaries is suspected. Ultrasound can be useful finding an ovarian tumor and seeing if it is a solid mass (tumor) or a fluid-filled cyst. It can also be used to better look at the ovary to see how big it is and how it looks inside (the internal appearance or complexity). These factors help the doctor decide which masses or cysts are more worrisome.
Computed tomography (CT) scans
The CT scan is an x-ray procedure that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your body. Instead of taking one picture, like a conventional x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as it rotates around you. A computer then combines these pictures into an image of a slice of your body. The machine will take pictures of multiple slices of the part of your body that is being studied.
A CT scanner has been described as a large donut, with a narrow table in the middle opening. You will need to lie still on the table while the scan is being done. CT scans take longer than regular x-rays, and you might feel a bit confined by the ring while the pictures are being taken.
CT scans do not show small ovarian tumors well, but they can see larger tumors, and may be able to see if the tumor is growing into nearby structures. A CT scan may also find enlarged lymph nodes, signs of cancer spread to liver or other organs, or signs that an ovarian tumor is affecting your kidneys or bladder.
You may be asked to drink 1 to 2 pints of a liquid before the CT scan called oral contrast. You may also receive an IV (intravenous) line through which a different kind of contrast dye is injected. Contrast dyes help better outline structures in your body.
The injection can cause some flushing (redness and warm feeling that may last hours to days). A few people are allergic to the dye and get hives. Rarely, more serious reactions like trouble breathing and low blood pressure can occur. Medicine can be given to prevent and treat allergic reactions. Be sure to tell the doctor if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast material used for imaging tests.
CT scans are not usually used to biopsy (see biopsy in the section "Other tests") an ovarian tumor, but they can be used to biopsy a suspected metastasis. For this procedure, called a CT-guided needle biopsy, the patient stays on the CT scanning table, while a radiologist moves a biopsy needle toward the location of the mass. CT scans are repeated until the doctors are confident that the needle is within the mass. A fine needle biopsy sample (tiny fragment of tissue) or a core needle biopsy sample (a thin cylinder of tissue about ½ inch long and less than 1/8 inch in diameter) is removed and examined under a microscope.
Barium enema x-ray
This is a test to see if the cancer has invaded the colon (large intestine) or rectum (it is also used to look for colorectal cancer). After taking laxatives the day before, the radiology technician puts barium sulfate, a chalky substance, into the rectum and colon. Because barium is impermeable to x-rays (impossible for x-rays to go through), it outlines the colon and rectum on x-rays of the abdomen. This test is rarely used now in women with ovarian cancer. Colonoscopy may be done instead.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern of radio waves given off by the tissues into a very detailed image of parts of the body. Not only does this produce cross-sectional slices of the body like a CT scanner, it can also produce slices that are parallel with the length of the body. A contrast material might be injected into a vein (same as with a CT scan). MRI scans are not used often to look for ovarian cancer.
MRI scans are particularly helpful to examine the brain and spinal cord. MRI scans take longer than CT scans, -- often up to 30 minutes or more. Also, you have to be placed inside a tube, which is confining and can upset people with claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces). The machine also makes a thumping noise that you may find disturbing. Some places will provide headphones with music to block the sound.
Chest x-ray
This procedure may be done to determine whether ovarian cancer has spread (metastasized) to the lungs. This spread may cause one or more tumors in the lungs and more often causes fluid to collect around the lungs. This fluid, called a pleural effusion, can be seen with chest x-rays as well as other types of scans.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
In this test, radioactive glucose (sugar) is given to look for the cancer. Because cancers use glucose (sugar) at a higher rate than normal tissues, the radioactivity will tend to concentrate in the cancer. A scanner can spot the radioactive deposits. This test can be helpful in spotting small collections of cancer cells. In some instances this test has proved useful in finding ovarian cancer that has spread. It is even more valuable when combined with a CT scan (PET/CT scan). PET scans can help find cancer when it has spread, but they are expensive and are not always covered by insurance when they are used to look for ovarian cancer.
Other tests
This procedure uses a thin, lighted tube through which a doctor can look at the ovaries and other pelvic organs and tissues in the area. The tube is inserted through a small incision (cut) in the lower abdomen and sends the images of the pelvis or abdomen to a video monitor. Laparoscopy provides a view of organs that can help plan surgery or other treatments and can help doctors confirm the stage (how far the tumor has spread) of the cancer. Also, doctors can manipulate small instruments through the laparoscopic incision(s) to perform biopsies.
A colonoscopy is a way to examine the inside of the large intestine (colon). After the large intestine has been cleaned with laxatives, the doctor inserts a fiberoptic tube into the rectum and passes it through the entire colon. The images are sent to a video monitor. This lets the doctor see the inside and detect any abnormalities. Colonoscopy can be uncomfortable, so the patient is sedated before the procedure. This procedure is more commonly used to look for colorectal cancer.
The only way to determine for certain if a growth is cancer is to remove a sample of the growth from the suspicious area and examine it under a microscope. This procedure is called a biopsy. For ovarian cancer, the biopsy is most commonly done by removing the tumor.
In rare cases, a suspected ovarian cancer may be biopsied during a laparoscopy procedure or with a needle placed directly into the tumor through the skin of the abdomen. Usually the needle will be guided by either ultrasound or CT scan. This is only used in patients who cannot have surgery because of advanced cancer or some other serious medical condition, because there is concern that a biopsy could spread the cancer.
In patients with ascites (fluid buildup inside the abdomen), samples of the fluid can also be used to diagnose the cancer. In this procedure, called paracentesis, the skin of the abdomen is numbed and a needle attached to a syringe is passed through the abdominal wall into the fluid in the abdominal cavity. The fluid is sucked up into the syringe and then sent for analysis in order to determine if it contains cancer cells.
In all these procedures, the tissue or fluid obtained is sent to the laboratory. There it is examined under the microscope by a pathologist, doctors who specialize in diagnosing and classifying diseases by examining cells under a microscope and using other lab tests.
Blood tests
Your doctor will order blood count tests to make sure you have enough red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets (cells that help stop bleeding). There will also be tests to measure your kidney and liver function as well as your general health status. Finally the doctor will order a CA-125 test. Patients who have a high CA-125 level are often referred to a gynecologic oncologist, but any woman with suspected ovarian cancer should see a gynecologic oncologist, as well.
Some germ cell cancers can cause elevated blood levels of the tumor markers human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and/or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). These may be checked if your doctor suspects that your ovarian tumor could be a germ cell tumor.
Some ovarian stromal tumors cause the blood levels of a substance called inhibin and hormones such as estrogen and testosterone to go up. These levels may be checked if your doctor suspects that you have this type of tumor.

Over the past decade, The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Certificate training has become the standard for organizations that wish to implement effective public involvement programs.
The Certificate Program provides a broad-based learning experience covering all of the foundations of civic engagement. Developed by the most experienced and successful practitioners from around the world, this training provides useful tools for designing and implementing practical, real world public involvement programs. The Certificate Program was designed to provide the knowledge, skills, techniques, and confidence to design and manage the most effective public involvement programs.
Upon completion of all three classes, students earn a Certificate in Public Participation from IAP2.
* * *
This 2-day Planning class is critical for developing effective public participation. Using IAP2's Spectrum for Public Participation, you'll learn how to establish clear and achievable objectives for a public involvement program and how to define the promise to the public. Course materials include exercises using IAP2's five steps for planning effective public participation. You'll learn how to guide your organization in conducting public involvement and how to plan for the timing, techniques, and resources needed to make citizen engagement a success.
You'll also learn the practical importance of the IAP2 Core Values and how the IAP2 Code of Ethics relates to both practitioners and clients.
The detailed real world examples and practical hands-on exercises will give you the tools needed to build realistic public consensus among your stakeholders.
Note: Planning for Effective Public Participation is a prerequisite for all other IAP2 Public Participation Certificate training.
This one-day class will give you the fundamental communication skills specifically geared to public participation practitioners. You'll learn the Principles of Authentic Communication. You'll focus on specific tools used to prepare and present information materials effectively in a variety of forums, small and large group meeting techniques, and facilitation essentials. This course will give you the skills and confidence to deal with difficult, issues, meetings and people. This course is valuable for both beginners and seasoned communicators. It covers the skills that are critical to effective public involvement and for managing the most difficult, high stakes public situations.
At the end of the day you'll understand the importance of active listening, the essentials of risk communication, how to create effective written and verbal presentations and how to work effectively with news media.
This class takes you way beyond public meetings. You'll learn a range of practical techniques that can be used in a variety of situations to better communicate with people, build trusting relationships with citizens and get their help and support with public projects. Techniques that you'll learn include the World Café, Revolving Conversations, Citizen Jury, Advisory Groups, and many others that you'll be able to use immediately in your work.
The class includes full overviews of more than 40 of the most proven tools and techniques that have been tested, refined and used effectively by public participation practitioners around the globe. Interactive exercises and practical tips will take you beyond the theory, and take-home materials used throughout the two-day session reinforce skills that you'll put to immediate use.

Why Federal Government Trumps the States
Giving states more control would complicate life for everybody.
What's so great about the states?
It's obviously fashionable these days to bash Washington and anything associated with the federal government. By contrast, state government now seems to be the last, best hope for democracy. One thing all the Republican presidential candidates seem to agree on is that any policy that can be shifted from Washington to state capitals should be. Mitt Romney and Rick Perry both insist that if there's any government healthcare program at all, it should be run at the state level and not be nationwide, as Obamacare is. Perry has even suggested that Social Security, which has been a federal program since 1935, should devolve to the states. The Tea Party, meanwhile, has made a rallying cry of the 10th Amendment, which says that all powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution reside with the states.
[See how to escape the middle-class squeeze.]
It sounds quaint. But giving Washington less control over our affairs, and the states more control, is a bad idea.
Here's why: People move.
Anybody who has relocated from one state to another knows there's a huge hassle factor associated with simply adapting to a different set of rules. You have to re-register your car and get a new driver's license. Do that a couple of times, and you'll surely become a fan of a national driver's license. Most banks are chartered at the state level, which means you might have to close your old account and open a new one to get all the services you want. Make sure all your checks have cleared! If you run a business, chances are you'll get to spend hours--days?--figuring out how the licenses and permits in your new state differ from those in your old one. Since tax laws are different, make sure to hire a new accountant. And if you ever have to file an interstate lawsuit, you might run out of money just paying the fees for lawyers to dicker over which state should have jurisdiction.
Businesses with regional or national scale would dearly love to operate by one set of standards instead of 50. For years, most automakers that sold cars in the United States produced at least two variants of every model: One for the handful of states that followed California's tough emission rules and another for the majority of states with less-stringent standards. One reason automakers agreed to tough new emission rules recently adopted by the federal government is that the deal meant all states would enforce one national standard. Part of the reason Amazon and other online retailers object to collecting state sales tax on the stuff they sell is the administrative burden of enforcing 50 different tax regimes—including changes that happen every year, as states tweak their tax code.
[See 11 countries with worse problems than America.]
There's also the dubious proposition that states manage their business better than the federal government. It's true that nearly all states are required to balance their budgets, which creates a degree of spending discipline. But that's hardly the same thing as responsible government. There aren't too many people in California—which may have a more convoluted set of laws than even the federal government—who seem happy with rising taxes, fleeing businesses, and continual conflict in Sacramento. In the state where I live, New York, corrupt cronyism is rampant and the former governor, Eliot Spitzer, had to resign after getting caught patronizing a hooker.
Even in the sensible Midwest, state government can be a circus. Illinois, where former Gov. Rod Blagojevich tried to auction off a Senate seat to the highest bidder, is so well-run that it had to pass a 66 percent increase in the state income tax this year to assure it didn't go broke. Minnesota partially shut down this past summer when lawmakers couldn't agree on a budget. In Wisconsin and Indiana, lawmakers even split town as a tactical maneuver, while arguing over budget cuts.
It's worth keeping in mind that the national press corps is centered in Washington and New York, and for all its flaws, there are still hundreds of dogged journalists eager to ferret out wrongdoing and pounce on scandalous behavior. The same goes for interest groups like Common Cause and Consumers Union, which tend to focus their limited efforts on national issues rather than local ones. All of that oversight helps keep Washington more honest than it would otherwise be. In state capitals, by contrast, there's far less oversight and a thin press corps that can't possibly keep tabs on every shady deal.
[See why big companies are axing jobs.]
So let's say the states took over Social Security. Some might manage it responsibly, others would cut benefits when times got tough, and a few would probably debase the program completely. Benefits would differ by state and if you moved you'd have to register with a new government bureaucracy to make sure your checks kept coming. If states all had a different healthcare system, it would basically be the same as what we've got now, except that benefits would be determined by governors' appointed poobahs—most likely big campaign contributors--instead of by insurance-company executives. And in future elections, we'd get to listen to even more tedious arguing between Governor Snappy and Governor Smarmy over which state's bureaucracy is better.
Yeah, there are a lot of problems with the federal government. But 50 different sets of rules isn't one of them.

Prospect Profile: David AdamsBy
David Adams | 2B
Born and raised in the Margate, FL (just outside of Ft. Lauderdale) Adams lettered for three years in basketball and four years in baseball at Grandview Prep, where his father Dale was the baseball coach. He led the county with a .548 batting avg as a sophomore, and was then named team captain and MVP as a senior. He was named third team All-American by the Baseball Coaches Association as a senior, and was listed as a top 30 high school prospect for the 2005 draft by Baseball America, Team One Baseball, and Perfect Game. By all accounts, Adams is the best baseball player in school history.
Adams was also an excellent student, serving as the Student Goverment vice president, winning the school's Citizenship Award all four years, and being a member of National Honor Society, Student Senate, Beta Club and SADD. He was named a Scholar Athlete all four years of high school. He earned the High School Coaches Award as a sophomore and junior, and also participated in the Perfect Game National Showcase and East Coast Professional Showcase as a junior. A potential second or third round pick out of high school, Adams dropped to the Tigers in the 21st round because of a strong commitment to Virgina. He did not sign, and headed north to Charlottesville.
Expected to take over third base after the Nationals made Ryan Zimmerman the 4th overall pick in the 2005 Draft, head coach Brian O'Connor instead played Adams at second base his freshman year. Starting all 62 games, Adams led the team in runs scored (57) and multi-hit games (25), while finishing second in homers (5) and total bases (105), and third in hits (76) and RBI (49). He hit his first collegiate homerun in the second at-bat of his career, and led the team with 38 hits in conference play. He was named second team Freshman All-American by Baseball America, and first team by Louisville Slugger.
Adams took a major step forward as a sophomore, finishing second on the team in batting avg (.372), OBP (.454), SLG (.522) and OPS (.976). Starting 61 of 62 games, he led the Cavaliers with 84 hits (sixth most in a school history) and 30 multi-hit games. Virginia finished the year ranked 16th in the nation, but they were upset at home by eventual College World Series champs Oregon State in the regionals. Adams did his part, leading the team with a .429 batting avg in the postseason. He was named second team All-ACC and first team All-State by VaSID.
Playing for Falmouth in the Cape Cod League after his sophomore year, Adams led the pitching heavy circuit in doubles (14), while finishing second in hits (51) and triples (3). Baseball America ranked him the 27th best prospect in the league, the fourth middle infielder on the list behind three eventual first round picks.
Named co-captain and third team preseason All-American by Louisville Slugger before his junior year, Adams had a disappointing year and may have succumbed to draftitis. His slash stats dropped roughly a hundred points across the board, although he did post career highs in homers (6), stolen bases (16) and walks (41). Virginia was again ousted in the regionals, and Adams' Cavalier career came to a disappointing close.
Rated the top prospect in the state and the 102nd overall prospect for the 2008 Draft by Baseball America, the Yankees selected Adams with their third round pick, number 106 overall. He signed quickly for a straight slot bonus of $333,000, and was assigned to Short Season Staten Island.
Pro Debut
The recent history of Baby Bombers' second basemen is pretty good, with Damon Sublett being one of the best hitters in the league last year after Wilmer Pino posted a respectable .773 OPS in 2006. Adams wasn't able to continue that trend, although he did have a solid season hitting .257-.350-.393, posting the third highest OPS amongst second basemen in the league. He hit .320-.386-.480 from July 26th through August 12th, raising his batting avg from .222 to .258.
Scouting Report
Adams does several things well but nothing great. He uses a toe tap as a timing mechanism during his swing, which is balanced but not exactly pretty. It works for him, and allows him to make solid contract and spray balls was gap-to-gap. Adams has an advanced approach at the plate and is willing to take a walk if the pitcher doesn't give him something to hit.
Once thought to be destined for third base, Adams improved his footwork and defensive skills enough that he'll be able to stay in the middle infield as a pro. His arm strength and accuracy are both average, good enough to allow him to make difficult throws behind the second base bag. He's an okay runner, probably less than what you'd like out of a middle infielder.
A very instinctual player, Adams' whole is greater than the sum of the parts. He's a gamer and a natural leader on the field. He has a good track record with wood bats dating back to his days on the Cape and in high school showcases. Adams could have been considered a fringe first round talent if he was able to repeat his sophomore success at Virginia during his junior year.
You can see his draft video here.
2009 Outlook
An advanced hitter with experience at a major collegiate program, Adams should provide a veteran presence to a talented High-A Tampa team. Justin Snyder will likely shift over to short to accommodate Adams, who is a better long term option at the position.
My Take
I tend to frown upon drafting low upside, high probability college players, so I'm not thrilled with this pick. That said, Adams is a better player and prospect than he gets credit for. He provides solid depth and should rise through the system quickly. He may not hit enough to play every day in the big leagues, but if he develops into a solid bench player, then he would have provided a solid return for the Yanks' investment.

Essentially the Yankees version of Chris Getz?
He led the county with a .548 batting avg as a sophomore…
Yeah, yeah. What was his wOBA? You know how much I'm a crazy, non-baseball loving statfreak…
..and was he clutchy?….lol
Yankees version of Peddroia: The article clearly tells us this:
"A very instinctual player, Adams' whole is greater than the sum of the parts. He's a gamer and a natural leader on the field."
he's got MVP written all over him
does he have grit? can he be a grit-beard?
Holly hell, would someone just sign already so we can actually have something to talk about.
We're looking for our version of Pedroia. All barbs aside, Pedroia crushed the odds. He wasn't supposed to win freaking MVPs and carry a championship contending ball club when it lost its biggest slugger.
All we need is one David Adams type to turn out well for us. Its borderline necessary to see a middle infield type make some headway.
True, but a SS not a 2B.
I'd still take Robinson Cano over Dustin Pedroia. Cano has amassed 50 or more extra-base hits in every season of his four-year career. You point to me how many middle infielders in recent memory who have accomplished that, and started said streak in their age-22 season.
Cano is Dominican, and hence, lazy and undisciplined.
White >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dominican
Than you would be a total moron. Anyone who says Cano now is brain dead.
absolutly is because i dont think jeter moves off for a FAsigning. they only move him off SS if he is pushed off by someone in the org.
don't know who it was who said it, but it went something like "the hardest thing to do in sports is to manage an aging star" add to that the face of the Yankees and I see him being awefully stubborn in the future especially if it is to move him for a FA who is 30 years old.
Imagine if Don Mattingly didnt want to retire and pushed it. Think Bernie's out was bad imagine how Donnie's would have been and Jete's will be. Hell he wouldnt move over for the guy who was at the time on his way to being the best SS ever
Any chance he could move to SS…. or not likely
Was thinking the same thing….
A possible replacement for Cano if he continues to regress.
Justin Snyder is likely to be groomed as a utility player from now on unless an injury occurs. Snyder can easily make it to the Majors as a super utility guy, playing all infield positions and outfield.
Sweet writeup as usual mike . Maybe we see maruszak at short in tampa? Or if they're real ballsy promote angelini despite his poor season at charleston.
yeah, hard to see angelini getting that nod. i am curious to know where maruszak starts the year, however.
with angelini at charleston, maruszak and snyder could platoon SS, or Snyder is truly becoming the util man.
If i had to guess id think marsuzak at ss in tampa lassiter at ss in charleston and angelini at ss in staten island. Again tho, what do i know? The definitive answer- Not very much.
Haha.. Thats good man.. I had to say it on the last page just cuz it was there to say…
I'd be surprised if they didn't let Angelini play at Charleston seeing how it's a full season league and going down to short season league would be a step down IMO. I'd imagine he'll go to Tampa with Lassiter in SI and Maruszak in Charleston. Otherwise it would almost have to be an Angelini/Maruszak tandem in Charleston which would possibly hurt both their development by not being able to play everyday at SS. Otherwise maybe they throw Maruszak all the way to Tampa like you said?
The last two seasons the SS at Stanton Island has been a draftee from that year, and so I tend to think that we see Angelini repeat at short in Charleston; Murszack at short in Tampa; Snyder at second in Tampa; and Adams starting the year at second in Charleston.
"finishing second on the team in batting avg (.372), OBP (.454), SLG (.522) and OPS (.976).
Holy crap, who was 1st?
If Theo had that 102nd pick he would of picked a reincarnation of Mickey Mantle.. DOWN WITH CAZH !
Oppenheimer for Mayor. Cash for garbage man. Wait, wha'hoppen? Oppen gave the green light? Right, so Oppenheimer for Mayor. Nice pick.
and gammons for president
"Brown also says the Giants have discussed trading Jonathan Sanchez to the Marlins for Jorge Cantu. That'd be a steal for the Marlins, who plucked Cantu off the scrap heap in January for a half-million bucks"
That has to be a joke
Poor Cantu, I remember a year ago or so someone was telling me that Cantu's foot had to be amptutated. I mean, can somebody not lie to/about him for once?!?!?!?!
not a joke – the giants
Ha Haaaaaaaaaa!
It's that time of year again. Couldn't have waited much longer. . . .
Thanks, Mike!
I think is too soon to say he's going to be a bench player.
ditto… wasnt Ratboy a 2nd rounder?
Wowwwww mike francesa is the biggest idiot i ever heard. He just said that he would trade Hughes AND ajax for Mcclouth without even thinking about it. How the hell is this guy still on the air?
throw in cano just to make sure
You're listening to him aren't you?
only because i was flippin thru the channels and stopped on yes. I guess i couldnt resist to see what stupid things he was going to say.dam.
i am actually forced to listen to kay..at least he know the player's names
Sad but true.
He loves McClouth… and that might be an understatement
He also said he would put Joba in the pen cuz thats where he belongs
He also said he doesn't believe in the existence of dinosaurs.
Wait, wait, that was Carl Everett, but, still… I wouldn't put it past Francesa to not believe in the existence of dinorsaurs. I'm just sayin.
He beleives that when he was 8 aliens took him on their spaceship and anal probed him
… And when it's all over, say, "Oooh, what a lovely tea party."
That is funny!
Earlier in this thread I wondered how many middle infielders have amassed 50 or more extra-base hits in the first four years of their Major League careers in recent memory (such as one Robinson Cano); however, I wonder how many guys have done that in Major League history as a second basemen as a 22-year-old in their first Major League season?
I don't have a subscription to Baseball-Reference, so I can't fully delve into the numbers over the course of history, but as a 22-year-old in his first season, what Cano has done up to this point is quite special.
I don't have a subscription either, but I am looking at some of the best 2nd basemen of all time to see how they compare.
First 4 seasons, XBH >= 50 each year
Hornsby = No
Morgan = No
Lazzeri = Yes
Sandberg = No
Collins = No
Lajoie = No
Pretty special company between him and Tony. Good call Jamal.
I honestly do not know. I know it's fashionable or whatever to take shot at these types of guys but for the life of me, I really can't remember a single insightful comment he's made.
on an unrelated note, is josh fields still eligible to sign with seattle?
Until next year's draft, yes.
i wonder if theyd rather just get the comp pick seeing that it was questionable at the time, and a holdover from a previous administration… hmm
I believe so, if they've graduate I think it can last until next season or next years draft
What do you have to go to school for to be a sports broadcaster like him or any of the other guys? Is it called radio broadcasting ?
He graduated from the Conneticut School of Blowhardology.
Good school or no ?
I couldn't get past Guttural Throat Clear 101.
It's one of those extra-hard freshman "weed-out" courses.
Just like Browbeating Your Callers 101 and Refusing to Admit Mistake 101.
I meant for this to stand alone: http://riveraveblues.com/2008/.....ent-218360
Good find Jamal. Always impressed with the facts you find.
did you see the batista video too…I love this one
Why the hell is there a brass section playing at that game? Is it Band Camp Night?
opposing team is the Swallows… nice
Adams or Sublett?
[...] 20. David Adams, 2B, 21 From the looks of it I'm the only one with any real expectations for Adams. The former Cape Cod League doubles champ didn't take that expected big step forward as a junior at Virginia and went from a potential late first round pick to third rounder. Adams isn't as dynamic a hitter as the oft-injured Damon Sublett, but he's better defensively and has a better all around game. He can handle himself all over the infield, and his strong track record with wood bats suggests he could develop into a solid hitter if he finds the stroke that made him one of the nation's best middle infielders as a sophomore in 2007. I guess I'm just optimistic. Adams will probably start 2009 with Low-A Charleston, but he's just another Sublett injury from a High-A Tampa assignment. [...]

Visual Arts (8)
Visual Arts rotaion 1 (8)
This art rotation's focus is Art History. The rotation has four components: researching an artist, creating a piece of art work inspired by an artist or a period of art, creating a 12" x 12" square as part of a mural design problem and creating an autobiographical self portrait. In the first few days students utilized research from books web sites of museums and those of individual artists. Students discovered details about the artists, where they lived, how they worked, and the events that influenced their artwork. The pieces of artwork students created in the style of their artist were a creative challenge. The problem solving and development of new techniques was an important focus in this rotation. The mural square was a more ambiguous challenge because it only had two requirements. They had to work in the style of their artist, and they had to incorporate a random meandering line. The self-portrait can seem like an equally ambiguous challenge because students incorporate elements of their life. This portrait does not rely on representational images but reflects values and interests.

Oil Gains On Sharp Drop In U.S. SuppliesJuly 23, 2014 4:54 pm | by Associated Press | Comments
The price of oil rose Wednesday after the government reported that U.S. oil supplies rose more than expected.

Grants Things to Do
El Malpais: La Ventana Arch
This sandstone arch is very accessible (just a short walk along a gently climbing trail) and is a very impressive sight, although having seen the arches in Arches National Park some years ago we were a little disappointed that it wasn't possible to get to a position where this arch can be seen silhouetted against the sky. Well, maybe it is...more
El Malpais: Lava Falls
El Malpais National Monument is divided into two sections, of which we only visited one – the one alongside Highway 117 more or less due south of Grants (the other lies to the west and is accessed via Highway 53). Entering the park from the south we weren't able to stop off first at the Visitor Centre, so relied on the information in our Moon...more
El Malpais: Sandstone Bluffs Overlook
This was probably my favourite of the three stops we made in El Malpais. An easy drive on a gravel road (fine in a 2WD) leads you to a ridge of sandstone high above the lava flows. From here you have a magnificent view of the El Malpais lava flows below and the sweeping expanse of the landscape beyond. Standing here your feet are on 200-million...more

Grants Restaurants
As we were staying in the Best Western, and with only fast food chains in sight, we decided to give its own restaurant a try that evening. I have to say that we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here.
The décor isn't bad for a hotel restaurant either, if not particularly imaginative: faded textiles, large booths around the edge, and lots of old Western paraphernalia attached to the walls. There were saddles, stirrups, rifles, but also assorted household items such as jugs and enamel bowls – the sort of stuff we'd been seeing piled high in so-called "antique" shops (aka junk no one else had a home for) but which worked well in this setting.
The service was friendly and the sole waiter coped well with a reasonably busy room. We were pleased to be shown to one of the booths even though there were just two of us, and he immediately offered to bring beers from the bar across the lobby if we wanted a larger selection than the few on the menu, which we did!
Favorite Dish: Chris decided to keep things simple and went for the traditional cheeseburger (he could also have had one served New Mexican style with green chilli). I chose the Pollo Santa Fe, a chicken breast covered with melted cheese and green chilli sauce, served with rice and beans, and in a fit of guilt at how unhealthily I had been eating, added a house salad. This latter came with a good blue cheese dressing (yes, I know I said healthy, but ...) and was a generous enough size for us to share. My chicken dish was delicious and I really enjoyed it. We paid $34 for the two mains, the salad, and a beer each, including tax and service.
We then decided on a night-cap in the sports-themed Rookies Bar which was very large and very empty – just us and the barmaid! It seemed that most of the people who'd been eating in the restaurant were staying in other nearby motels and had come over to eat here as it was probably the best choice in this rather uninspiring strip.
Grants Warnings and Dangers
Driving on the interstate highway can be hazardous do to the high speeds the other motorist are doing even though it is monitored heavily by the New Mexico State Police it doesn't seem to slow them down. The side roads you have to watch for drivers not using turn signals and sudden stops but just remember this is not the city .
Grants Off The Beaten Path
El Malpais- El Calderon Area
El Calderon is an area just off of HIghway 53 as you enter El Malpais with several hiking trails to various caves. Currently all caves are closed for recreational use due to the risk of a fungus that is killing off bats. Junction cave is right next to the parking lot, this kids enjoyed taking a peek..more
Acoma Sky City
Acoma certainly merits a page of its own but as many people use Grants as a base for a visit to "Sky City", I am also including a brief description here. In my opinion this is a must-see if you are anywhere in this part of New Mexico – and worth a detour even if you are not!Acoma Pueblo is built on top of a sheer-walled, 367-foot sandstone mesa in...more
Acoma Sky City just thirty...
Acoma Sky City just thirty minutes east of Grants just off I-40 south at exit 102 . The San Estevan Del Rey Mission which was built in 1629 by Franciscan missionaries and the first Europeans to see the Acomas. The Pueblo of Acoma claims to be the oldest settlement dating at about 1150 A.D. in North America .more

Report: 'Climate of Fear' for Press Under Obama
Obama's treatment of press 'without equal since the Nixon administration,' says former Washington Post executive editor.
A report issued Thursday by the Committee to Protect Journalists alleges an erosion in press freedom, and transparency in tatters, in the United States since President Barack Obama first took office.
The report was drafted by Leonard Downie Jr., vice president at large and former executive editor of The Washington Post, and was released along with recommendations by the CPJ at a morning press conference at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Obama's tough approach to the press, Downie said, is "without equal since the Nixon administration," and is "in direct conflict with Obama's often stated goal of making his administration the most transparent in history."
Aggressive leak investigations and prosecutions under the 1917 Espionage Act have had a "much more widespread chilling effect than Nixon's enemies list," he said.
[RELATED: Holes in Proposed Shield Law Worry Opponents, and Even Some Supporters]
Downie approached his report as a journalist, and it is filled with observations from longtime journalists as well as exclusive quotes.
"The idea that people are shutting up and not leaking to reporters is belied by the facts," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney reportedly told Downie, pointing to leaks about Obama's planned military strikes against Syria's government.
But the report paints a very different picture, prominently noting the prosecution of eight people accused of providing information to the press under the 1917 law, versus three in all previous administrations since the law was first enacted, and the seizure of Associated Press phone records earlier this year as part of an investigation.
In addition to source probes, National Security Agency surveillance, the restrictive definition of a "journalist" under a proposed media shield law, an administration "insider threat" reporting system, tight message control by the White House and aggressive non-cooperation from officials were all mentioned as problems in the report.
[FLASHBACK: AP to Eric Holder: 'No Possible Justification' for Phone Record Seizure]
"The problem is that the Obama administration doesn't see this as a problem," CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said at the press conference. "This is not an isolated problem."
According to Simon, the state of U.S. press freedom has global ramifications.
"Any deterioration in the standards in this country gives an opening for other governments to legitimize their actions," he said.
Downie denounced the "unresponsive, hostile and abusive" conduct of administration press deputies. Campaign-style social media messaging, he said, is used by Obama to "limit exposure to accountability probing [questions]" from journalists.
Obama has also failed to improve the flow of information through the Freedom of Information, Downie added.
[BROWSE: Political Cartoons About President Barack Obama]
The CPJ released six recommendations along with the report, notably demanding that Obama "[e]nd the practice of bringing espionage charges against people who leak classified information to journalists" and "[m]ake good on promises to increase transparency of government activities and end government intimidation of officials who might speak to the press."
Another recommendation urges "the broadest possible definition of 'journalist' or 'journalism' in any federal shield law." An amendment to a pending bill, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., limits who can claim to be a journalist and specifically excludes WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange from protection.
"Any federal shield law should protect the newsgathering process, rather than professional credentials, experience, or status, so that it cannot be used as a means of de facto government licensing," the CPJ says.
The report was the CPJ's first comprehensive look at press freedom in the U.S. The CPJ generally focuses on press freedom in countries with governments widely recognized as autocratic.

In short, in 100 Words... Israel [the multi-racial, equal democracy], its Jewish returnees to their historic homeland, face genocide campaign [at times "just" ethnic cleansing] by Arab-Muslims since the 1920's. Whether by Arab immigrants, their children - called "Palestinians," or by [apartheid, almost Judenrein] Arab/Muslim forces [exploiters of Arab-Palestinians] for: power, sheer anti-Jewish hatred [exemplified through dehumanization/incitement], or as part of an overall Jihad towards world domination. Motivation: Islamic bigotry, Jihad, Arab racism. The aggressors (Palestinians/Hezbollah) self-made "victims" falsify information/images, define lost battles, casualties resulting from Islamists using civilians (to make humane Israel look bad), as "massacres."

Islam is wrong about the West Bank
whether you call them arab's or Islam, they are the same, they want the destruction of Isreal and will never be happy until they acheive their goal. Those are hard facts. BUT, G-d will not allow this to happen. It is the Arab's who will be defeated. Until they are removed from or intigrated into (doubtful that will happen) Isreal, there will be no peace for Isreal. talks of peace will not solve the problem, only when Isreal stands up for what G-d ordained then there will be peace for Isreal. History has shown it, time and time again over thousands of years. When His poeple do what He has told them, then Isreal can know peace.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Ayalon's conclusion at the end of his articulate and historically correct speech is insane and very dangerous. He certainly does not speak for me and I hope many other Jews. In order to survive Israel finally needs to say No!!!!! And then, only then will Israel have true peace and gain the respect of the rest of the world!

So far, at least, the dirt beneath a driveway in Roseville, Mich., isn't turning up any sign that former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa was buried there 37 years ago.
Originally published on Fri September 28, 2012 1:08 pm
The man charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58 others at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater on July 20 threatened a University of Colorado psychiatrist about six weeks before the massacre and was barred from campus "as a result of those actions," according to local prosecutors.
They also say in court documents released this morning that James Holmes' alleged threat was reported to university police at the time.

On Sept. 30, 1962, chaos broke out at the University of Mississippi — also known as Ole Miss — after an African-American man named James Meredith attempted to enroll.
That night, students and other protesters took to the streets, burning cars and throwing rocks at the federal marshals who were tasked with protecting Meredith. By the time the riot was over, observers said the grounds looked like a war zone, and the smell of tear gas hung in the air.
