Fantasy sports: Cornering closer's market
Before this season is over, at least half the league will change its closer at some point.
Maybe it will be due to injury, or maybe it will be because the normal closer gets rocked for a week straight. The bottom line is fantasy owners put more emphasis on the closer's role than managers.
Also, you don't have to be Sandy Koufax to be able to get three outs consistently. We've seen mediocre, or even bad pitchers, rack up 30-40 saves in any given season. Here are some candidates to acquire saves cheaply this season:
Coors light
Rafael Betancourt is coming at a major discount because he pitches in Colorado and he's never been a full-time closer before. Of course, he also has a career 3.18 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Most importantly, he has absolutely no competition behind him for the job.
The handcuff
Javy Guerra is the Dodgers' unquestioned closer. However, setup man Kenley Jansen has the better stuff. We can draft both because Jansen will still be a fantasy asset even if he's not getting saves.
Jansen will get fluky wins and help in ERA, WHIP and strikeouts. The same strategy can be employed with guys like Huston Street-Luke Gregerson and Matt Thornton-Addison Reed.
Less is more
Yes, we know that Jim Johnson, Sean Marshall, Brett Myers, Matt Capps and Brandon League aren't that good. But they're also set up to get a decent leash as the closer and one or two, or even three, of them are going to run with the job. Someone from the "less talented" tier will end up with 30-plus saves.
Basketball sleepers
Want to steal a fantasy title off the waiver wire? Take a look at these guys:
1. Eric Gordon, SG, NO — Gordon was dropped in most leagues due to his chronic knee issues. But he's in a contract year and is desperate to prove that he can sustain some health — even if it's only for a month.
2. CJ Watson, PG, CHI — Derrick Rose admitted that his groin was actually bleeding when he originally injured it. He still hasn't been cleared for contact, leaving Watson with at least another week of value.

Amos Patton, 42, of Cordova made his first court appearance in federal court wearing an orange jump suit; his arms and legs shackled. He was charged today in a criminal complaint with one count of assault within the maritime and territorial jurisdiction in the United States, and one count of carrying and using a firearm during and in relation to a federal crime of violence.
He will be held without bond until a detention hearing next Wednesday. He didn't say anything in court. He faces a federal assault charge and a weapons charge.
Patton's wife was seated in the first row of the courtroom.

A Tennessee National Guard spokesman says Amos Patton joined the guard in 1999. He was an Armorer, Supply Sergeant and most recently recruiter.
FOX13 obtained the Criminal Complaint against National Guard shooter Amos Patton.
According to the court papers Patton was called to the Tennessee National Guard Recruiting Center, located at 5650 Attu, to be relieved of duty, recommended for reduction in rank, and recommended for separation from the active guard reserved because of alleged "misconduct."
READ HERE: Criminal Complaint
The complaint says Patton was ordered to return government equipment that was in his vehicle outside the building. Ross says Amos brought the gun into the armory in a fanny pack.
A soldier saw the weapon when Patton tried to access the fanny pack and yelled "GUN".
The FBI agent says a senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) tried to immediately subdue Patton. Patton fired several shots hitting three Tennessee Army National Guard personnel. Patton ran from the armory, followed by the senior NCO, who caught Patton and subdued him outside the armory until Millington Police arrived.
If Patton is convicted he could receive up to twenty years for the assault charge and could receive a minimum of ten years for the firearms charge, according to U.S. Attorney's office. There is no parole in the federal system.
The case is being investigated by the FBI and the NCIS.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Godwin is representing the government.
Tennessee Guard Press Release: "In addition to the injured Soldiers identified yesterday as Maj. William J. Crawford and Sgt. Maj. Ricky R. McKenzie, Lt. Col. Hunter Belcher was reported today to have been grazed by a bullet just below the right knee during the incident. Another round from the weapon went through a backpack he was wearing, but did not inflict any injuries. All personnel injured have been treated and released.
Further information will be released as it becomes available. The incident is under investigation by local and federal authorities."

(previous story)
A member of the Tennessee Army National Guard opened fire at an armory outside the U.S. Navy base in Millington, north of Memphis, wounding two soldiers before being tackled, subdued, and disarmed by other soldiers, officials said.
The two guardsmen, a major and sergeant major, are being treated for non-life threatening wounds at The MED in Memphis. Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback said one of the soldiers was shot in the foot and the other in the leg.
Naval Support Activity Mid-South was on lockdown as a precaution moments after the shooting shortly after 12:45 p.m. at the nearby Armory Reserve Center. The lockdown was lifted in the afternoon.
MORE: Navy statement regarding shooting near NSA Millington
Stanback said the shooter did not have the small handgun used in the shooting in his possession by the time officers arrived.
"I'm sure there could have been more injury if they hadn't taken him into custody," Stanback said.
Authorities haven't released the name of the shooter or the victims. But Maj. Gen. Max Haston, Tennessee's adjutant general, said at a news conference all three of the men were recruiters and that the shooter was a sergeant first class who had been in the Guard about six or seven years and that the victims, were his superiors.
Maj. Gen. Haston characterized Thursday's activity as disheartening.
"You never think something like this is going to happen on your watch or in good old Tennessee here," he said.
The alleged unnamed shooter was facing discipline from two senior soldiers. A law enforcement source said he went out to his car, got a gun, walked back into the armory, and started shooting.
"We did have two patients that were transported to The MED," Millington Fire Chief Gary Graves said.
The two shooting victims are both combat veterans and they are assigned to the recruiting battalion in Jackson, Tenn.
"You never think something like this is going to happen on your watch or in good old Tennessee here," said Maj. Gen. Haston, who flew from Nashville to Millington. "Unfortunately it did happen."
Asked about this at the news conference, Haston would only say that there were "administrative policies and procedures that we were going through with him." He did not elaborate.
The FBI is now handling the investigation. A news conference is expected Friday.
The shooter is in police custody. He's been in the Army guard for about six years. The accused shooter is expected to be prosecuted under federal law.
"One of the positives that can be taken out of this today is the fact of the cooperation and the training that has gone on in the active shooter scenario," Maj. Gen. Haston said.
Stanback said the shooting happened inside an armory building just outside Naval Support Activity Mid-South. There are more than 7,500 military, civilian and contract personnel working on the base, according to the facility's official website. The facility is home to human resources operations and serves as headquarters to the Navy Personnel Command, Navy Recruiting Command, the Navy Manpower Analysis Center and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center.
The National Guard Armory is across the street from NSA Mid-South. As the naval base went on lockdown employees were told to shelter in place. FOX13 News was told military personnel took the lockdown "in stride. There was no panic, these people are highly trained and followed orders."
Maj. Gen. Haston credited the Navy and Millington Police and Fire for their quick response.
"It amazed me that they told me the timeliness of the response and so the citizens of the community here should be very proud of that," Tennessee Guard's adjutant general.
Maj. Gen. Haston visited the two wounded soldiers at The MED.
One of many witnesses near the scene of the Armory shooting was FOX13 News Good Morning Memphis anchor Ernie Freeman, who was taking part in a charity golf tournament at the Glen Eagle Golf Course on the Millington naval base.
"We really didn't know what to do," Freeman said in a video clip posted on Facebook. "We were on hole number nine. They finally came out and told us all to go in the club house here, and everyone that is in the golf tournament went inside. So it was a tense few moments not sure what was going to happen. Finally we got the news that the shooter was detained and was in custody and were finally able to get back on the golf course."
Others in Millington were shocked at the initial news of a shooting near the naval base. Some, still nervous about the base's security.
Store owners near the base saw police and fire crews rush by, sirens blaring shortly before 1 p.m. A lot of Millington residents had friends and family on the base calling them, telling them an employee who was fired was able to return to the base with a gun.
This news left an uneasy feeling in their minds.
"If they can get on the base, especially after they let him go, you'd think they'd take his ID so he couldn't get back on. Maybe there was a breakdown in communication. It bothers me," said Florence Conant, Millington resident.
"I can't say that it's normal for Millington because I think Millington ... we've had our issues out here but overall I think it's still a pretty quiet and safe town," added Virginia Young, owner of C & V Variety Store. "I still feel safe here."
Millington Mayor Terry Jones told FOX13 News the base and local law enforcement conducted a drill with this sort of scenario in June. This recent training put the city's law enforcement in position to respond so quickly today, and the mayor hopes others are impressed as well.
FOX13 News reporters Matt Gerien, Kristin Tallent, Sarah Bleau and Associated Press reporter Adrian Sainz contributed to this story.

Bulloch County sheriff's investigators have charged a 25-year-old man in connection with his girlfriend's slaying and assault and kidnapping of the woman's daughter.
Investigators say relatives of Frank Walters called the Screven County Sheriff's Office when Walters came to their home in Sylvania with a young girl, a gun, and a confession that he'd killed Deidra Thompson, his girlfriend and the young girl's mother.
Sheriff's deputies went to Thompson's home on Swallowtail Drive and found her body. Walters was arrested in Screven County and brought back to Statesboro.
Walters faces charges of murder, rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated assault, child molestation, financial card fraud and more. He is being held in the Bulloch County jail.

For an up-close view of the brokenness in our political and health-care systems, and especially of the way they make one another worse rather than better, you could hardly do better than watch the debate over Georgia's hospital bed tax. It has it all.
First, there's Medicaid. It's the program states can't live with — no matter how much money they pour into it one year, the cost only rises the next, in part because states have limited control over it — and can't live without — the federal dollars involved are too numerous to pass up.
Medicaid funding is an inherent contradiction in fiscal responsibility: In order to balance their budgets, states look for ever more ways to get ever more money from a federal government that is ever more in debt. Meanwhile, even as Medicaid funding rises, Medicaid patients have ever more trouble finding doctors who will accept them because of the program's low reimbursement rates.
So, Medicaid is so broken as to somehow render politicians incapable of anything but pouring more money into it. Which, I suppose, means it meets the threshold for being a true government program.
There's the tax itself. Politicians like to call it a "hospital provider fee," even though a "fee" is something the state charges for a service it provides. The only service provided here is the state's role in asking the feds to dole out another half-billion dollars a year in matching funds, roughly $2 for every $1 raised by the tax, er, "fee."
Those matching funds flow back to the very same hospitals that pay the tax. That makes it more akin to an extremely high-return investment, the kind of consistently high return one normally associates with an investment scam. (Given how unsustainable this entire arrangement is, that sounds about right.) It's as if the hospitals are charging U.S. taxpayers a usurious interest rate for the pleasure of holding their money awhile. And yet, despite all this, the hospitals still end up losing money on many Medicaid patients.
Then there's the way in which Georgia legislators have approached the tax this year compared to its initial approval in 2010. Three years ago, the tax was the source of much drama toward the end of the session. And while I'm hard-pressed to name a legislator who lost re-election after voting for the tax in 2010, the impact on the Senate wound up being truly historic.
Passing the tax involved a great deal of arm-twisting, including the loss of committee chairmanships for some senators who opposed the tax. The bullying was one of the reasons GOP senators cited the most after the 2010 elections when they staged a coup against their fellow Republican, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, and opted for governance by consensus within their caucus. That schism shaped the past two sessions, with fallout that continues today: Disaffection with leadership of the Senate by the Senate led to wholesale changes for this year's session.
Having learned their lesson, GOP leaders don't want to force legislators to walk that plank again. So they're asking them to let someone else walk the plank.
This year's bed-tax bill would delegate authority for levying the bed tax to the nine-member board of the Department of Community Health. It would be four years — that's two legislative cycles and one gubernatorial race from now — before lawmakers had to act on the tax again.
Finally, there's the near-certainty that, after jumping through hoops to renew this tax without being seen renewing it, Georgia Republicans will campaign during the next electoral cycle on the notions of cutting spending and refusing to raise taxes. They'll probably add a few barbs about federal spending for good measure.
And, if history is our guide, almost all of them will be re-elected two Novembers from now — right about the same time Georgians of various loyalties will begin demanding their favorite football teams replace this coach or that one because he's made a mess of his team and can't seem to fix it.

Thanks, Kyle, for focusing attention on the bed tax political scam.
But don't single out Medicaid as the victim of unsustainable spending on health care; Medicare and all public and private health insurance programs are victims of the unsustainable cost of American health care. The solution is to take measures to reduce waste in health care practices and extend coverage, not to cut health care insurance programs and increase the out-of-pocket expenses to individuals.
Joint federal/state programs, like Medicaid, are a bad idea. Why sustain 51 bureaucracies and expand the opportunity for pilfering by thousands more politicians? Let states run the programs that require means testing, and the federal government run the others.

So the "powers that be" are against raising regular income tax rates to supply more money to Medicaid, but have no problem taxing all those who use hospital services to pay for Medicaid services for the poor? So the person who is healthy and doesn't go to the hospital doesn't need to help out with health care for the poor? Just like opposing Obamacare's requirements that everyone exibit personal responsibility and possess health insurance that they will INEVITABLY need one day, but requiring hospitals and doctors to charge ALL OF US and indirect tax to subsidize those who refuse to get insurnace (a good number of which can easily afford it). Free riders get the advantages of our current system (hopefully not for too much longer).

This tax is like the same thing Ken Lay of Enron went to jail for, isn't it?

What if you wanted health insurance and applied to over 10 companies for an individual policy and all ten turned you down because you had a pre-existing condition? I'm talking about a true failure of the free market to provide a product that you want to buy. Would you believe that government should, either by policy or by offering coverage, intervene? Or, should the willing buyer who can't find the willing seller "go bare"?
January 17th, 2013

Great article Kyle,……………you are finally stating what the rest of the nation already knows. Georgia GOP Johnny Reb legislators are the biggest problem our state must overcome. They have very low morals and are noted for being the most corrupt politicians in our nation. There is NO WAY Georgia can avoid being the undisputed laughingstock of our nation.
January 17th, 2013
8:32 am
When you are rejected for health insurance by as few as one private insurer for a pre-existing condition, then you are able, as you suggested, to "bring proof of his rejection for insurance to a government agency set up to specifically provide for such instances" under, yep, Obamacare.
Not an extreme scenario nor dreamed up. Just a real-life example of a person who busted their tail to get an insurer to take them only to be unable to find coverage in a free market. Disappointing in all candor that not one private plan would provide coverage. But it is a good thing to see that you agree with Obamacare's pre-existing insurance policy for those failed by the free market.

Socialism in health care is totally appropriate when passed by Republicans to cure the needs for emergency treatment of the uninsured – Reagan-EMTALA (unfunded mandate); Romney-Romneycare (over 8 billion of Medicaid waivers sucked out of citizens of other states through the feds); Deal -bed tax (tax on those who have insurance and can pay to cover Medicaid shortage caused by the poor) . But god forbid a commie liberal passes a law requiring individual responsibility for payment-that is real socialism.
January 17th, 2013

Kyle -
You'd better watch out – if you keep writing stories like this one that are: (1) informative; (2) non-partisan; (3) educational; and, (4) thought provoking……the powers that be at the AJC won't know what to do with you….
…..it's amazing that the editorial gurus at the AJC allowed you to clear this one without forcing you to insert any wording or any mention of how everything is Bush's fault, how native Georgians are backward and uninformed, how Obama will solve all things, how anyone who disagrees with Obama is racist, etc. etc.
January 17th, 2013
9:27 am
Sounds about right….shift the responsibility and claim small government bonafides on the campaign trail. Medicaid needs to be reformed drastically….block grants it could be argued are a form of death panels by some in opposition to that but that really is the nature of sustainable entitlement programs….deciding the level of care that will be administered to the patient before a cap hits…the only question is who gets to decide what that is?

"Just like opposing Obamacare's requirements that everyone exibit personal responsibility and possess health insurance that they will INEVITABLY need one day, but requiring hospitals and doctors to charge ALL OF US and indirect tax to subsidize those who refuse to get insurnace (a good number of which can easily afford it)."
Except Obamacare doesn't. It requires personal responsibility only for those that can afford it with no regard for why they can't afford it, at that point those that actually did make the better choices in life get the added bonus of paying for others.
January 17th, 2013

"People who were born with a silver spoon never understand completely the lives of the working poor, but they have lots to say about it."
And there are many among the "working poor" that make the choices to remain that way and also have plenty to say about it. There is a certain regular poster over at that other place that commented frequently about how she turned down promotion after promotion because she was "comfortable" with her meager lifestyle yet always had plenty to say on why others should pay more for the "poor".
Choices folks………….

Pre-existing conditions could have been an easy fix under our old system had the silly "group" designations been adjusted, that would have been all that was necessary. But some buffoons decided that a bunch of people working for an employer was a "group" while a bunch of people self employed wasn't a group.
Sometimes common sense needs to prevail……..

Instead of a bed tax, lets tax guns and ammo to fund mediciad and that will help Hospitals deal with the problem of uninsured patients and allow them to keep their doors open.

I can see that Kyle is angry over this whole Medicaid mess. No wonder. It's like the Gordian knot. Nobdy can untie it.
I think the Feds shold step out of the picture and leave it to the states. When the states can't handle their own sick, then they will economize or do what is necessary. If state representatives can only think of their personal political status in this, they need to go.
Medicaid is growing every year. If we take penalties off of hospitals, doctors and the healthcare system,and let them manage healthcare, we would get better results and better care.
Get the government out of medicine! .Get insurance out of medicine. We have too many people running what is not their line of work. That is why we now have this silly bed-tax fiasco. Too many self-important profit seekingt people who could care less about the sick. Time for professionals to take over.

I don't think that the "working poor" are what is clogging Medicaid. I think it is the NON working poor and possiblhy the unemployed who are filling those ranks.
If you offer something "free" , a lot of people will come all with "valid" reasons to be included. I think strict requiremnets should be a first step. Check closer on the applicants of Medicaid to be sure they are truly needy and not just skipping the payments for their own needs.
It is human nature to want something free but it is not fair when others are paying for your care when you should be responsible. A lot of people have conveniently forgotten that. .That is one reason our Emergency Rooms are crowded. .
January 17th, 2013

So your argument is not that our health care costs per person are nearly double most of Western Europe, yet our our life expectancy is lower than every country in Western Europe. You think it may have something to do with the fact that our obesity rates are between 30% and 300% higher than Europe? Hey, the heck with the fact that we were drunk when we got in the car and wrecked it….can you believe how much it cost to get it fixed??
January 17th, 2013

Very good read on the difficulty in funding and the politics involved. I don't know all the answers to fully fund our obligations to healthcare, but the solution sure shouldn't involve bullying and / or favors.
It just seems like nothing in this state can be done without someone being steamrolled, or someone getting overly compensated (read: corruption).
January 17th, 2013
10:40 am
I applaud your stand for personal responsibility. It seems that many here expect "thje government" to pay their bills. I'm afraid it is true for many, seeing how Obama won a second term with great promises for perceived "free" medical care. His election certainly could not be for a successful first term considering the fiscal state of the USA.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
January 17th, 2013

We can argue about this all we want but the real problem is rising health care costs. As long as the costs keep going up, which they will for the foreseeable future, this problem is going to be with us.

The costs of heathcare certainly keep going up. The more the demands the more the cost. Demands come from government regulations, , insurance(liability) and the cost of even better medical care and medication. .
There is nothing cheap in the way of medical equipment, sanitary precautions and professional education. To minimize any of those gives poor medical care.
Not to say, there are no ways to get a better system.

Most of the high cost drugs have side effects that are treated with other drugs. It is a vicious cycle. Legalize something that is safer than asprin and tell the feds where to go with their gun and drug laws.

Dusty is in a rare form today.
"Get insurance out of medicine." (@10:08 am)
No insurance, pay for the treatment you need. And if it is one of the many high cost treatments even people with a good income cannot afford, you have two choices: To die, or to let other people pay for it.
"I don't think that the "working poor" are what is clogging Medicaid. I think it is the NON working poor and possiblhy the unemployed who are filling those ranks."(@ 10:26 am)
Naturally, Dusty has the right to "think" whatever she prefers, whether it is true or not. But more importantly, it is the mindset that is so telling. What does Dusty want to do with the NON working poor and (possibly) unemployed, when they get sick. Again, let them die?
"Obama won a second term with great promises for perceived "free" medical care." (10:40 am)
Since blatant lies have become a "new normal" on this blog, this one does not even surprises anymore.
January 17th, 2013
11:47 am
"md — your comment has nothing to do with mine at all, you just want a soapbox."
No, it just put it in context. Each of the "working poor" are individuals and many got there and remain there by their own volition, so I'll call it out every chance I get vs letting someone put them in a group and act like we should all carry their load.
Why should a member of the working poor be given a pass on the responsibilities of society?
Why should one be allowed to settle for a more meager lifestyle and not have to contribute to society?
If 47% are not paying any income tax, how many are in that group by choice and why should they not be required to participate?
January 17th, 2013
11:49 am
Thanks Dusty, just calling it like I see it and correcting those that can't see past the end of their noses.
We choose everything we do, and I get tired of those that don't want to take responsibility for those choices…….

Maybe we can mint a special quadrillion-dollar "Medicaid" coin, deposit that into the fund, tax it, then distribute the money to all that want it. (Of course, no ID or proof of citizenship required, because that would be racist.) Free healthcare for all!
January 17th, 2013
12:11 pm
AH dear MarkV
Here with his propensity to use the word "lies". I mean "blatant" at that. Somebody must have stepped on his toes.
True, I doubt that insurance will ever get out of medical care.. But insurance companies are making fortunes and obviously it is a profit making procedure, not a goodwill effort for anyone. But liability insurance has caused doctors great expense because lawyers have pushed every claim no matter how trivial some are. Lawyers are looking for people who can make claims. Watch your TV advertisements if you do not believe that..
Medicaid is not working well and will soon kill itself from lack of proper regulation. It has stumbled from Fed to State to Fed until it ends up with the mess such as Kyle has described, the crazy "bed tax'. We can do better than that for the poor.
Have you ever heard of Grady Hospital? It runs from a congomerate of funds. I think with some thought to a combination of private AND public funds can be better organzied without the total direction of government. ObamaCare is placing your choices for treatment under the rule of government, not the people who pay for it or those trained to do it
Unlike you, I do not believe that government can do EVERYTHING better than anyone. That decisions must all be delegated to the government to make for you. No way. I believe there is something better for the poor than government control. Do you not realize that is a form of slavery? That we have fought wars to get away from kings and slaves?
If you don't believe that, then you are not in agreement with the foundation of this country and that is freeedom in all forms. Do what you want but don't take my freedom away to do it.

Dear Dusty,
Sorry, but I call things what they are. If you can document that President Obama promised free health care, please do it and I will apologize.
"But insurance companies are making fortunes and obviously it is a profit making procedure, not a goodwill effort for anyone."
I am extremely pleased that you recognize the need for non-profit universal health coverage, i.e., the so called "single payer system" or "public option."
"ObamaCare is placing your choices for treatment under the rule of government, not the people who pay for it or those trained to do it."
And how does ObamaCare do that? By having a group of professionals advising about what is
effective and what is not? How do you exactly imagine that to be done otherwise? Leaving it up to every individual provider to decide everything, even if it is based on his/her monetary advantage, and just let the patient pay that? Or do you naively believe that that does not happen?

Are we free to opt out of Obozocare and provide for our own health care needs? We are not. Obozocare makes us less free. But of course, not as much as the liberal fascists would prefer.

"By having a group of professionals advising about what is effective and what is not?"

"Are we free to opt out of Obozocare and provide for our own health care needs? We are not. Obozocare makes us less free."
Yes, it makes you less free. In order to give you (and me) total freedom, if you chose not to buy insurance, then needed medical care and could not demonstrate an ability to pay, then you should be put on the curb AND ALLOWED TO DIE! That is freedom.

This is similar to rising costs in higher education due to ever more govt subsidies. The more the govt gets involved and the more the govt subsidizes something the higher the costs rise.

As long as government is involved in health care, we are not going to get high quality healthcare at rock bottom prices. When some entrepreneur has to deal with a "certificate of need", before he can open a hospital and a person can not buy just the medical insurance they need, but must buy a one size fits all policy approved by and limited to the state the individual lives in, we have scuttled the free enterprise system for some nether region somewhere between total socialism and ineptitude. Seems we need to decide, total socialist medical care and accept the rationing, poor care, and shrinking amount of medical professionals, or do the preferable thing of getting the government out of the way and let the free enterprise system fully function.

Yes, it makes you less free. In order to give you (and me) total freedom, if you chose not to buy insurance, then needed medical care and could not demonstrate an ability to pay, then you should be put on the curb AND ALLOWED TO DIE!

This is a stupid argument to have in our legislature, when our governor turned down BILLIONS in aid from the Federal government to expand Medicaid and help hospitals cover their costs. Our state government is run by a gang of backward hillbillies who can't agree on anything other than to hide tax increases so they don't look like tax increases and turn down money for our state so they can say they cut spending. Georgians need to have their head examined (which will require health insurance) if they vote these homeschooled hillbillies back in office in 2014.

"This is a stupid argument to have in our legislature, when our governor turned down BILLIONS in aid from the Federal government to expand Medicaid and help hospitals cover their costs."
Naw. What is stupid is when someone thinks all that Federal money is just free money that never has to be repaid by the same taxpayers. Its more debt that we have to pay back in the form of taxes on the Federal side of the ledger. Jeez.

"The moochers aren't buying health insurance."
True. All those people who make good money, don't buy health insurance, and then don't pay for their medical care when they inevitably receive it – they are MOOCHERS. Even if they make $100,000 per year. You and I and the rest of the insured pay for their care with our higher hospital bills and higher insurance premiums.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Designer Dossier
Designer: Frank Lloyd Wright, 1867 - 1959
From: Richland Center, Wisconsin
It could easily be said that Frank Lloyd Wright is America's most famous architect. Admired by both casual design enthusiasts and those in the architecture profession, Wright has made a lasting impression in American design, including art, furniture, architecture and community planning.
• Trained under famed architect Louis Sullivan at Adler & Sullivan
• During his seventy-year career, Wright created over 1,100 designs, nearly half of which were realized.
• Wright was an active dealer in Japanese art, primarily ukiyo-e woodblock prints. He was also a collector of Japanese prints and used them as teaching aids with his apprentices.
• Recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time."
Quote: What is architecture anyway? Is it the vast collection of the various buildings which have been built to please the varying tastes of the various lords of mankind? I think not. No, I know that architecture is life; or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived… So, architecture I know to be a Great Spirit.
Attended: University of Wisconsin-Madison (did not graduate)
Known for: The Prarie School movement, organic architecture and his series of smaller Usonian homes.

Although a lesser-known commission, the Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, MI is another great example of Wright's style of architecture. Owned and restored by Steelcase, the house is open to the public and staffed by a group of knowledgeable docents. The house's website, http://meyermayhouse.steelcase.com, includes a nice section on Wright's principles of architecture.
Brilliant architect. Not so much so for his interior design...
My parents once decided not to buy a Frank Lloyd Wright house that was for sale in Minnesota. They made the decision for lots of very practical reasons and they may have been right.
But I've never really forgiven them.
Here is a Frank Lloyd Wright House that's still a private home.
Buffalo, and the All Wright All Day Tour! Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural gems in Buffalo:
Sadly, not all people recognize the enormous value of Wright's designs. In Phoenix, AZ, a developer wants to demolish the home that Wright designed for his son David to make room for another (most likely) McMansion.
Wright was phenomenal!
I always loved this home because of how it incorporated the water and nature into the design. We always talk about how brilliant Frank Lloyd Wright was but I remember reading that this particular design was, although innovative, slightly flawed. There was some sort of problem with the cantilevers. But, the great thing about Wright was that he dared to dream, design, and build even though his work wasn't always perfect.
A FLW house in Issaquah, WA is for sale. A couple of years ago I was able to stop by Taliesin West and sat in the living room chairs - the plywoody ones - and started getting a little misty. Thankfully I held it together, my sister would have thought I was nuts.
He influenced the Bauhaus too, so although he didn't consider himself a modernist he definitely influenced modernist architecture.
That made me laugh out loud at work, Dulcibella. Ha.
I have always appreciated Wright's genius and innovation, but was less impressed by Fallingwater after walking through it, and seeing how bad the structural problems were (and the leaking), almost right from the start. It also didn't feel very inviting as a home (even a weekend home). Though perhaps that's not everyone's goal.
I too wasn't impressed by Falling Waters either. I felt that his ego preceded him and although he tried to invoke the Japanese concept of integration with nature, I felt like his structure tried to conquer nature (thus why it has structural problems. )

For a team to be categorized as a sports dynasty during any given era, the first thing fans and pundits will look at is a consistent run of championships.
The second most important element is keeping a core group of players to win year after year.
The Montreal Canadiens that won five straight Stanley Cups in the 1950's had a dynamic group that included Jean Beliveau, Bernie Geoffrion, Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Don Marshall, Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Claude Provost, Henri Richard, Maurice Richard, Jean-Guy Talbot and Bob Turner.
The Habs also had a large group of players in the 1970's that took four straight Stanley Cups - including Rick Chartraw, Yvan Cournoyer, Ken Dryden, Bob Gainey, Doug Jarvis, Guy Lafleur, Yvon Lambert, Guy Lapointe, Michel Larocque, Jacques Lemaire, Doug Risebrough, Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, Steve Shutt and Mario Tremblay.
The New York Islanders captured four consecutive championships with Mike Bossy, Bob Bourne, Clark Gillies, Butch Goring, Anders Kallur, Gord Lane, Dave Langevin, Wayne Merrick, Ken Morrow, Bob Nystrom, Stefan Persson, Denis Potvin, Billy Smith, Duane Sutter, John Tonelli and Bryan Trottier all in the fold.
And the Edmonton Oilers won five Cups in seven years with Glenn Anderson, Grant Fuhr, Randy Gregg, Charlie Huddy, Jari Kurri, Kevin Lowe and Mark Messier.
While no one is comparing today's Detroit Red Wings to those powerhouse teams of the past, the Original Six franchise is as close as it gets in a league where building consistent winners gets more challenging every season. Fans in Hockeytown, USA have been treated to a team that won three Stanley Cup championships in six seasons between 1997 and 2002. And with one more win in this year's Stanley Cup final, it will be four Cups in 11 seasons.
That's not exactly 'dynasty' parameters compared to the fabled teams of the past, but it's still very impressive considering they still have five key players on this year's roster who were members of those teams. Nicklas Lidstrom, Kris Draper, Tomas Holmstrom and Kirk Maltby are still making big contributions, while Darren McCarty - who returned as a free agent during the season after two years with the Calgary Flames and an IHL stint - is also an important piece of the puzzle.
"McCarty did a great job on the bench," Babcock said after Saturday's Game 4 victory. "I gotta give him a lot of credit. With six minutes left, he's standing up and telling everybody (to) go after them, don't back up. When you have veterans like that, it helps you get through situations like that."
And the winning attitude doesn't stop on the ice. All three of those Cup winners were coached by Scotty Bowman, who is still with the team as a consultant. Ken Holland earned general manager's job a month after their first Cup in 1997, but helped build the team in various front office roles since joining them in 1985. He was also assistant GM to Jim Devellano, who is still with the team as Senior Vice President.
"You can go down the line and see all the things they were able to do internally," said NHL on TSN analyst Pierre McGuire. "Ken Holland had the scouting down and Scotty Bowman had the team-building down so they always identified positions of need."
Together, this group has shared more than a decade of success with three Stanley Cups, four Presidents' Trophies, five regular season conference titles, eight division titles and 10 straight 40-plus win seasons and three straight 50-plus win seasons.
And through it all, keeping all five veterans in their lineup is a remarkable accomplishment considering the gluttony of annual trades and free agent signings in today's NHL. By comparison, no other team in the league has that many players left on their roster from the 1996-97 season. The New Jersey Devils have four players left from 11 years ago, with only two - Sergei Brylin and Martin Brodeur - that won all three Cups between 1995 and 2003. The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars each only have three players left from the 1996-97 campaign. And none of those teams have been as consistent over the last decade as Detroit.
"It never gets old," Lidstrom told reporters after Saturday's 2-1 win in Pittsburgh. "We know as a team we haven't won anything yet, but this is what you play for all year long."

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - Neil Watson scored 18 points, including the game-tying 3-pointer to force overtime, as Southern Mississippi defeated Georgia State 75-65 on Saturday.
Southern Mississippi (8-1) led for most of the contest before Georgia State (3-6) took a 55-54 lead with 3:29 left. The Panthers went up 59-54 before Southern Mississippi erased the deficit in the final 56 seconds.
Aaron Brown hit a 3-pointer before Watson made 1 of 2 free throws to come within 60-58 with 13 seconds left. Georgia State's Devonta White then made 1 of 2 free throws, leaving the door open for Watson's game-tying 3-pointer.
Southern Mississippi took control in overtime, outscoring Georgia State 14-4. The Panthers were just 1 of 11 from the field in the extra session.
Michael Craig added 10 points and 12 rebounds for Southern Mississippi. Brown and Daveon Boardingham had 14 and 12, respectively.
Ryan Harrow scored 20 points for Georgia State.

How to sound more sophisticated by changing one letter:
Laughing Out Loud? Psh.
Laughing Quite Loudly.
(via liliiqoo)
Time to get to fucking work.
In the past week, I've had my heart stepped on, a small dream of mine crushed, and endured varying degrees of bullshit under the guise of "inevitability." Well fuck that noise; these things make me a stronger person, but in the sense that I won't just sit here and ignore them anymore. It's time to be productive, starting with this post.
The following is a list of the various projects I've had in the works for, well, quite some time now, and most of them have made absolutely no progress in an embarrassing amount of time. But that won't stop me from working on them as they're the only thing keeping me going at the moment. I had meant to type them up earlier, but now the time finally feels right.
1. Synth Caster - My longest on-going project, it's a story set in the distant future, after mankind has only recently overcome the results of a nuclear holocaust that no one ever really discovered the cause for. The main character, Tohibi, a native of Japan and his group of 5 friends (who all wind up in Tokyo with him for their own reasons) must stop an evil madman with amazing powers, Rintoh, from causing mass chaos on a global scale.
2. Chaos Chord - Johnny Rock is a simple man with a simple dream: To become the front man of history's greatest Battle Band! Another story set in the future (albeit a not-too-distant one), Chaos Chord is set in a world where people can no longer be entertained by regular band anymore, and the medium has changed to cater to society's lust for violence. The Battle Band Circuit is formed, where bands fight each other on stage while performing their songs. The story follows Johnny's rise to greatness as he forms his legendary band and competes in the Band Battle Circuit. This whole story heavily operates off the "Rule of Cool," i.e. if it's cool enough, it can theoretically happen, physics or logic be damned.
3. Circuit Breaker - Unlike the rest of my projects, this one is a video game, one with heavy inspiration from the MegaMan series, my personal favorite. Dr. Cogsmith creates an amazing little robot named Sparky, capable of making hard light constructs, gaining praise and recognition on a global scale. His creation is so innovative, it makes all other robots obsolete and puts Cogsmith's biggest rival, Dr. Gearfried, out of business! Swearing revenge, Dr. Gearfried commands his robotic creations to wreak havoc across the city, even injuring Dr. Cogsmith in the process! Sparky, with his unique abilities, decides only he can stop his rampage, and sets out to stop the robots and bring Dr. Gearfried in. The game will use many mechanics seen in MegaMan platformers, but with enough new twists and increased difficulty to please more hardcore players.
I have more things to add to this list, but I will add them at a later date. For now, feel free to ask about any of these 3 projects if you have any questions or feedback for me. And remember, don't take shit lying down. Get up and do something about it.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A mother with two young children was arrested after allegedly falling asleep inside a store in a drug-induced haze.
On August 24 just after 8:30 p.m., witnesses called police after observing Melissa Bahmandeji, 33, drifting off at the Circle K on the corner of Johnsontown Road and Dixie Highway in Valley Station.
When police arrived, they found her standing in front of the soda machine, asleep, while her two children wandered the store alone. After waking her up, the officer said she claimed her medication made her sleepy.
According to an arrest report, Bahmandeji later admitted she had a narcotic pain pill in her purse without a proper container for it. Police looked around the store and found a spoon with heroin residue in the store's bathroom. Witnesses said she was in the bathroom before they called police.
Officers arrested her and put her in a police car, at which point they said she pulled two hypodermic needles, one loaded with a heroin-like substance, from her pants saying she was "very thirsty because of that stuff."
Bahmandeji was charged with public intoxication, possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, and endangering the welfare of a minor.

November 19, 2012, 3:46 PM —
As IT professionals, it's your job to provide help, support, and technical guidance to the organizations you serve. This is the nature of your chosen profession. Volunteering your time, expertise, and experience, and backing it up with financial donations to help our nation's youth is a show of faith in our country and our children's future.
Boston SIM (Society for Information Management), the Boston chapter of a national IT executive management organization, is a group providing this type of charitable support. Like all organizations, they can't be all things to all people; therefore, they have concentrated their efforts into programs that contribute to the vitality of the Information Technology profession, especially programs that focus on future IT workers.
Tech Boston Academy and Year Up are two examples of SIM-supported programs designed to help inner city youth that might not have access to career opportunities in technology. The Tech Boston Academy is a Boston Public School for Technology & College Preparation. Year Up's mission is to provide urban youth with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education.
Over the past year Boston SIM has increased its focus on initiatives that support and inspire young students' interest in and pursuit of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) subjects.
Three STEM education initiatives currently being supported by Boston SIM are
1. STREAM, a STEM education teacher workshop designed to give middle and high school teachers innovative classroom tools and concepts for engaging students in STEM learning
2. Citizen Schools, with a growing emphasis on mathematic, has been re-imagining the learning day to bring more time, more talented adults, and more relevant learning experiences to middle-school students in low-income neighborhoods.
3. DIGITS, a middle school program opening minds to math and science
Boston SIM has adopted its STEM education supportive role with the recognition that STEM learning is the foundation upon which future careers in Information Technology are built.
As Information Technology (IT) executives, Boston SIM members truly understand the personal value of a career within a technology oriented discipline and its positive effect to the local community, the State of Massachusetts, and the future competitiveness of our country in the world economy.
The reason I'm telling you about the wonderful volunteer work being done by Boston SIM is because I'm hoping that this story inspires you and the technical organizations where you participate to do the same.

Storms will become more likely across our area as humidity increases and a front approaches! The best chance of rain comes Wednesday into Thursday as the cold front will be right over us. (see attached image)
Tuesday is looking mostly dry for the Upstate, but VERY hot. Highs will reach 94, but feel like 100 at times! The mountains will see a few scattered storms with highs in the upper 80s.
Wednesday will bring a better rain chance area-wide, but still only 30-40%. Any storms that develop could dump some heavy rain and produce lots of lightning.
Thursday will be the rainiest day of the week, with about a 50/50 shot at rain for most areas. By the weekend we'll see storms become more isolated, and the seasonably hot temps will stick around.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Adrian Peterson is back to normal again.
Last summer, his knee rehabilitation was the primary focus. During the winter, he was recovering from sports hernia surgery. Now, he's added some off-the-field commitments and is running the ball in practice for the Minnesota Vikings like there was never anything wrong with him.
This is also the time for the Vikings to give the reigning NFL MVP some rest, too. Peterson was held out of minicamp drills on Wednesday. He worked out inside the team facility instead.
In other Vikings news, free agent and former Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop visited the team Wednesday.
Defensive coordinator Alan Williams said after minicamp practice Wednesday that Bishop went through a "good workout" with team officials. Williams deferred to general manager Rick Spielman and head coach Leslie Frazier about the possibility of signing the seventh-year veteran.
Bishop played in a 3-4 defense with Green Bay. Minnesota uses a 4-3 scheme. But Williams said he doesn't believe there'd be much of an adjustment if Bishop were to join the Vikings.
The Packers released Bishop on Monday. He started at inside linebacker for two years before tearing his hamstring during an exhibition game, an injury that kept him out for the entire 2012 season.

Voices Question
Healthcare: What impact has health information technology had on the work that you do?
Comments: 9
Kaiser Permanente has improved their record keeping and information sharing significantly. Previously, if you went to a different facility, they often had no access to your records. Now, they have instant access to previous visits, previous and current prescription records, even comments and notations. Furthermore, the doctor, nurse, or physician's assistant can input information directly and instantaneously. This process saves time and effort and is much more efficient. They can also provide you with information and records to share with other doctors outside the system.
Tim McMullen
Health information technology enables me to receive value info on my health status, health issues, dates and times of workshops and presentations, etc. It is a quick way to stay somewhat in contact with the results of all medical tests that you take and my doctor. Personally, I used health information technology alot.
Howard kirk
I am a high school library media specialist. When I was laid off some years ago from a public school I worked in a hospital library, pre-internet. I can't tell you how great an impact the delivery of information has had on a student's ability to find appropriate information with the help of teacher librarians. Answers to very difficult questions may be found, as well as information to help students and their families be able to speak intelligently with health care professionals.
Judy Schram
As a school nurse the health information technology as helped tremendously. With computer access to health issues I am able to keep abreast of the current information out there, educating myself as well as my students and staff. Gaining access to students statewide immunization records via computers helps a great deal as it cuts down on the constant telephone calls,phone tagging and faxing.This prevents a lot of parent frustration also,for those parents that have lost the paper documentation.
Stephanie Smith
We are currently going computer. Very slow transition. Training time well before going live. Lots of us are in the 40-50 year old range, not real computer savy. Hopefully when all components are live, still documenting notes via pen, the computer age will give us more time at the bedside & less at the desk documenting.
Jo Ann Repici
the internet has been very helpful with my job, finding meds, procedures for better understanding and to pass on to our patients. more technology on our new computer system at work gives more access to more doctors on having information on their patients readily available without always relying on mailing information with follow ups.
judy giberson
I work in a VA hospital, ICU. The electronic medical record system is fantastic. I can review notes from other states, ANY and ALL of the medical care my patient has received for the last 10yrs. Can it get anymore comprehensive than that? Pt history, medication records, co-morbidities.... all at my fingertips. The VA here has offered, FOR FREE, to share it's software with a local university-affiliated public teaching hospital with whom we are also tightly affiliated. They declined because hardware and other updates would have been "too costly". Show me where a facility puts it's money and I'll show you what they value.
Tiffany Heinen
Our organization is currently phasing in EMR's and I am on the design team building it. We are an organization with 4 campuses which prior to EMR did not have standardized documentation let alone nursing practice. This has been a challenge to building the EMR and has been frustrating to our team. As staff nurses we know how this will impact our practice and we have been very verbal as to how to stream line the documentation and focus on workflow. We have run into some roadblocks because we are not empowered to make final decisions about the EMR and it has to go back to practice councils and nurse leadership which has no clue as to what we

plasma displayA type of flat-panel display that works by sandwiching a neon/xenon gas mixture between two sealed glass plates with parallel electrodes deposited on their surfaces. The plates are sealed so that the electrodes form right angles, creating pixels. When a voltage pulse passes between two electrodes, the gas breaks down and produces weakly ionized plasma, which emits UV radiation. The UV radiation activates color phosphors and visible light is emitted from each pixel.
Today, Plasma displays are becoming more and more popular. Compared to conventional CRT displays, plasma displays are about one-tenth the thickness--around 4'', and one-sixth the weight--under 67 pounds for a 40" display. They use over 16 million colors and have a 160 degree-viewing angle.
Plasma displays are manufactured by companies such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, and Pioneer.

I'll try to post to the issue tracker in a few minutes if I can and I'll be sure to attach the bugreport.txt file.
I've had a couple other crashes previous to this one but I was always in a hurry and couldn't remember the exact sequence that caused the issue. This was the first time I knew exactly what I did. I'm never sure when I should post to the issue tracker if I can't reproduce the problem on my own. ;)
