THE WORLD OF BUSINESS about the government bailout of the auto industry and the viability of General Motors. Writer tells about the construction of a Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, in the 1980s—then the largest Japanese investment ever in the U.S. Nissan's President, Takashi Ishihara, had a low opinion of American manufacturing and workmanship. Nissan proposed to transplant the Japanese method to the United States. The U.S. was in a deep recession, and the governors of several states campaigned aggressively for the Nissan project. The Smyrna plant soon began to turn a profit and through the nineteen-eighties it consistently ranked as the most productive auto plant in the United States. Discusses how labor practices at the plant differed from those at the Big Three's plants. Other foreign automakers began to emulate Nissan's success, and a new Auto Belt emerged in America. The lasting significance of the Smyrna venture became clear last fall, when General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler went to Washington to seek money for the American auto industry's survival. Opposition to a Detroit bailout was most forcefully put by a group of representatives from the new Auto Belt. The leader of this group was Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee. Describes the appearance by executives from the Big Three before Congress and their request for twenty-five billion dollars in bridge loans. The hearing exposed the industry's predicament: the automakers and their workers were mired in arrangements made long ago that had ultimately rendered their businesses untenable. Discusses inefficiencies that resulted, in large part, from concessions made by the automakers to their union and considers how the rise of the S.U.V. became a liability for Detroit when fuel prices rose steeply last year. Writer interviews Ed McClain, a former union leader in Flint, Michigan who is inclined to blame corporate management for the demise of the auto industry in that city. Tells about the second round of Congressional hearings and explains the crushing debt burden faced by General Motors, much of it from its obligations to worker-benefit programs. Discusses how the Obama Administration has handled the crisis since taking office. Obama has created an auto task force headed by Steven Rattner and Ron Bloom. Tells about Bloom's previous involvement in turning around the beleaguered U.S. steel industry. Considers arguments about whether bankruptcy would be the best way for G.M. to proceed and mentions the resignation of G.M. C.E.O. Rick Wagoner. When the auto task force visited Detroit, G.M. arranged for them to go to the Technology Center, the company's engineering and research facility. Tells about Bob Lutz, the head of product development at G.M. and the Chevy Volt, an affordable, all-electric vehicle that G.M. is striving to bring to the marketplace next year. Discusses the technology behind the Volt and describes the failure of the company's first electric car, the EV1. In a speech on March 30, Obama said that he holds one overriding goal for the auto industry: "The United States of America will lead the world in building the next generation of clean cars."

You are so right about food having the ability to connect us to those we love, and special memories.ReplyDelete
For me, it is my grandmother's special Christmas cookie that she made every year, and that I continue to make to this day.
This is a wonderful post! You inspired some of my own favorite food memories that remind me of my Grandma and family times together.ReplyDelete
Although, I don't think I'll be making potato wine any time soon. ;-)
Rose City Reader
Awesome! I have some of my moms hand written recipes and I cherish them!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for stopping by. I did make some of the lemonade yesterday, and immediately upon tasting, I was plunged back to the happy days of the school holidays with my Grandmother. Those memories are priceless.ReplyDelete
Food can be such a pathway to the past. I loved this post, especially the wartime cookbook cover. And lemonade is sounding very good at the moment.ReplyDelete

Blog's Rob Swan analyses the contribution of Edin Dzeko's contribution to
Wolfsburg historical season.
Wolfsburg will compete in next season's
UEFA Champions League campaign for the first time in their 64-year history
after claiming the Bundesliga title last month.
It's been a meteoric rise to success for the German side who, 12 months ago,
were celebrating a fifth place finish in the Bundesliga – their best finish
until this season.
So how exactly did Wolfsburg achieve such a feat?
First of all, full credit must go to Felix Magath, the former Bayern Munich
coach who, rather surprisingly, will take charge of Schalke from next month.
Magath was the man who managed to bring in the two key components of Wolfsburg
success on the pitch, in the form of 30-year-old Brazilian Grafite and
23-year-old attacking midfielder Edin Dzeko. And it's the highly-talented Bosnian
star who we focus our attention on here.
Off the back of a hugely influential season, Dzeko was yesterday named Germany's
Footballer of the Year.
His partnership with Grafite led to an incredible 54 league goals being shared
amongst the two strikers – making them the most successful strike duo in
Bundesliga history. You may recognise Grafite because of his wondergoal scored
earlier this season against Bayern Munich (which can be viewed here)
but because of his age, it's Dzeko who's set to have the biggest impact in the
months and years to come.
With Kaká looking increasingly likely to leave Milan for Madrid to kick-start a
second 'Galaticos' Real Madrid era under star-chasing Florentino Perez, the
Rossoneri will turn their attention to the Bosnian 23-year-old to step in the
shoes of the 2007 World Football of the Year.
Dzeko netted 26 goals in Germany this season, including two hat-tricks against
Hoffenheim and Hannover 96 last month to fire the Wolves to their first ever
title and transform his reputation as rising star, to one of the hottest
properties in European football.
At 6'3", Dzeko isn't just a threat from set pieces with his aerial
prowess. His ability to pick out the top corner from outside the box was
displayed on more than a few occasions last season, along with his coolness in
front of goal inside the 18-yard box.
His impressive performances have also reportedly caught the eye of several
English clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea, as speculations mounts that his
future lies away from the Bundesliga.
But whatever happens over the summer and wherever his future may lie, Edin
Dzeko is certainly a name to keep tabs on and a player set to make an impact
during the 2009/10 Champions League campaign.

MOSCOW -- After a rash of teenage suicides in Russia, including those of two 14-year-olds who plunged to their deaths from a 14-story building while holding hands, experts are urging the government to take immediate action.
"Children are constantly under pressure," Lyudmila Rubina, a Russian child psychiatrist, told Al Jazeera. "They can't find a common language to express their feelings at home and sometimes they are physically punished. There is no support at school and schools don't want to play any role in the child's upbringing."
Russia has the world's third-highest rate of suicide among teenagers ages 15 to 19, with about 1,500 taking their own lives every year, according to a recent UNICEF report. The rate is higher only in the neighboring former Soviet republics of Belarus and Kazakhstan.
In recent years, there have been 19 to 20 suicides annually per 100,000 teenagers in Russia — three times the world average, Boris Polozhy of the respected Serbsky psychiatric center in Moscow said Friday.
"Until the highest authorities see suicide as a problem, our joint efforts will be unlikely to yield any results," Polozhy said.
In the southwestern Siberian region of Tuva, the rate reaches a staggering 120 suicides per 100,000 teenagers, while the nearby region of Buryatiya has an average rate of 77 per 100,000. Both regions are impoverished and have high crime and alcoholism rates.
'Better kill me'
Two 14-year-old girls, Liza Petsylya and Nastia Korolyova, killed themselves this week by jumping off the roof of a 14-story building while holding hands. They had skipped classes for two weeks and were terrified of what their parents would do to them once they found out, Russian media quoted their friends as saying.
Several other recent teen suicides have been reported elsewhere in Russia.
Experts say that domestic violence and problems in schools are among the main reasons why adolescents take their lives.
Relations between Russian children and their parents are often "notable for their cruelty," said Natalya Sinyagina of the Education Ministry's Center for Education Issues in Moscow. "(But) school is also not the safest place for kids."
Russia's public schools are underfunded, are staffed with poorly paid teachers and have been widely criticized for neglecting the issue of bullying among children.
"We've seen cases when a child says, 'Better kill me, I'm not going to school,'" Sinyagina said.
'Lend a helping hand'
Internet-savvy and handy with cell phones and computers, Russian teens spend hours on social networking websites and idolize pop stars just like teens elsewhere in the world. Experts say some teens romanticize early death and suicide, perceiving them as games, and are attracted by online suicide clubs that list the best ways to take your life.
"Video games and information found online have devaluated death," said Urvan Parfentyev of the Moscow-based Center for Safe Internet.
"I have seen websites that offer a thousand ways of killing oneself," said Zurab Kikelidze, Health Ministry's chief psychologist.
Pavel Astakhov, the government-appointed children's rights ombudsman, said school psychologists should find and help suicidal teenagers on social networking websites and crack down on cyber-bullying, another widespread cause of teenage suicides.
"Each suicide case must be thoroughly investigated to find out what caused it: whether it was the situation inside the family, problems at school or conflicts with classmates," Astakhov told Itar-Tass, Russia's news agency. "In critical situations, children cannot be left alone, face to face with their problems. The entire society must lend a helping hand, and first of all, professionals –- psychologists and psychiatrists. No preventive efforts will be successful without their help."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

1 Chisholm Trl Ste 340, Round Rock, TX | Directions 7868130.514102 -97.688997
Awesome Chiropractic Care – Let me first say that Dr. Jim and his staff are top notch and really care about your well being and health. Dr. Jim is very upbeat, positive, and confident in his work. I've been seeing Dr. Jim for about a year and came to him with lower back pain. Not only did he alleviate my pain and corrected my posture, but he also talks about how nutrition plays a big part in your overall health. I have noticed that I have more energy throughout the day now. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jim to my friends and family. His new office is awesome as well!!
Great Chiropractic Care! – I started see Dr. Jim two months ago for upper back and neck back that was causing me dizziness and headaches. After two weeks, all of my dizziness and headaches disappeared. In addition, my energy level has increased and I am thinking more clearly. Dr. Jim is a very positive, energetic guy who has a great bed side manner and really cares about making you feel better. I highly recommend him if you want to feel great!
Four years ago I was in a terrible car accident and had very painful lower back pain. I received physical therapy but still continued to have the pain. I started seeing Dr. Pollard and after a few adjustments I felt much better. I now see Dr. Pollard on a consistent basis and I feel great! I highly recommend Hill country Chiropractic.
Kayla Henery
Great Chiropractic Care – Dr. Pollard is a wonderful Chiropractor. I had been having pain in my left shoulder for twelve months and on my first examine he found the problem and began treatment. After a few adjustments I am now pain free. Dr. Pollard is a strong advocate for preventive care and I could not agree more with preventing the problem before it happens. His web site is great and very informative. Seeing him has been a very positive experience.

We have been very busy (excuse us for the lack of posts!) working on a second version of a client project. It involves redoing the whole UI in a much more responsive manner. In times past the "simple" way I have done this, especially with Django on the backend, has been to have the server respond with HTML, and inject that into the DOM. There are some serious limitations with this approach once you get far enough down the road. And it gets very messy.
To be fair, what we've implemented is a very simple execution of the pattern. Let's take the python-end first:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
class CommandBuilder(object): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(CommandBuilder, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.data = [] def raw_callback(self, callback, args): self.data.append({ 'callback': callback, 'args': args }) return self @property def js(self): return self.JavascriptMethods(self) def dumps(self): return { 'commands': self.data } class JavascriptMethods(object): def __init__(self, command): self.command = command def a_function(self, a_model): return self.command.raw_callback('a_function', [ a_model.id, a_model.name ])
Just for some syntactic-sugar I also used the builder pattern and a python property which masks the Javascript Methods inner class. All that means you can write pretty code like this:
1 2
cmds = CommandBuilder.js.a_function(a_model).a_function(a_model).a_function(a_model) return HTTPResponse(simplejson.dumps(cmds.dumps()))
In the real world you wouldn't be calling the same javascript function over and over, you would expose the functions you need to call. And now we need a little bit of javascript to handle this known JSON data structure:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
var Commander = { a_function: function(id, name) { alert(name+" has an id of: "+id); } }; var Engine = { run_command: function(data) { if(data == undefined || data.command == undefined || data.command.length === 0) { alert('This is not a command structure'); } for(var i in data.command) { var row = data.command[i]; if(typeof Commander[row.callback] === 'function') { Commander[row.callback].apply(undefined, row.args); // undefined as this } else { alert('Function '+row.callback+' does not exist on Commander'); } } } };
The javascript `apply` method is a lifesaver here. With this simple pattern we can have the server force client-side code to be executed. Now, if you've been a diligent developer you've already been naming your functions on the client-side, not just throwing around a million anonymous functions. And you've separated out the functions that deal with calling URLs or dealing with the DOM from those functions which deal with the data. There is a huge bonus with doing that (besides this pattern being useful for you): you can start testing your javascript!
- I tend to think of the `.js` in python a namespace. You can specify a specific Javascript object on the front end with a few minor changes on both ends. My `CommandBuilder` object has a few more methods on it, so the `.js` serves as a semantic separator as well.
- There is only one downside to this pattern that I have observed so far – if you make changes to function signatures in javascript, you'll need to change the python side as well. You need to stay on your toes with this pattern.

After nearly three decades as an operating room nurse and manager, Mary Rivera, R.N., learned the hard way that standing on cement floors day after day takes its toll on your joints. At first the pain in her hip was manageable, but over time it grew worse.
El Camino Hospital has profiled many of patients Dr. Shane Dormady's patients--patients who have overcome Stage IV cancers. In this interview, we ask Dr. Dormady about the current state of cancer care, the latest innovations in treatments, and how the El Camino Hospital Cancer Center works on behalf of its patients.
For the past year or so, I've had occasional sharp pains in my right shoulder blade (always in the same spot) and sometimes felt a bit sick to my stomach after going out to dinner. But my symptoms were always short-term and sporadic--the pain would come on at night but would always be gone in the morning, causing me to think that perhaps I had just imagined it. But in January 2012, I was in so much pain I went to the ER at 3 a.m. in tears. Blood work and an ultrasound revealed I had something I had not expected at all--gallstones (hard, pebble-like deposits that form inside the gallbladder).

Today, my loves, magic happened. The ULTA fairy arrives on wings dusted in the latest fall colors, full of shimmer, shine and fruity lip gloss.
We all know how I feel about lip gloss.
Despite my whiny, sick afternoon, I knew I wasn't too seriously ill, as my desire to open the package immediately was stronger than the desire to curl back up into a feverish ball in bed.
Magically (read: by way of purchasing online & waiting for delivery), in that beautiful box were two fabulously new hair tools, both of which, oddly enough, look like scary sex toys.
Because the camera — the brand new camera — has decided to be an asshole. It has not yet presented me with its demands for ransom, but that's all in good time, because I know — I KNOW — it has taken my photos hostage.
The hours I spent! Slaving over my hair! Playing with these new toys! Photographing myself with awkward faces! Achieving ridiculocurly somewhat scary hair! Annoying my mother! Ok, that one was a perk. But still! I BURNED MY FINGER FOR THIS.
Ok, maybe not all lost? but lost for now. Because the camera is a douchecanoe.
All this boils down to a new desire: wanting to write a post lambasting technology, which will lead invariably to a Kids-These-Days! rant, followed closely by a recounting of my childhood, in which walking up hill both ways barefoot to and from work at age 7 in the snow will feature prominently.
But I'll spare you that one. This time. You're welcome.
So then I think, you know what I need? OBVIOUSLY I need to move nearer to @HexingThoughts, my resident geek. (Y'all, she works for baked goods. It's the best arrangement ever. Kisses, Hex!)
But the prospect of moving TO THE NORTH is, itself, FUCKING RIDICULOUS. Because it is the North. Where it is cold. Often.
I'm not sure I can adequately explain my inability to deal with the cold for any period of time over, say, three days.
Shut up. I don't always have too much to say. I so don't.
Let's just move along, assuming you understand just exactly how much I hate the cold, pretending I've explained it in any way that makes sense.
And now that we're here? I'm officially copping out. Breaking the only promise I've made to myself here, which is to post every day. Ok, maybe this is a post. I suppose. And I'm wearing lip gloss.
Ok, ok, it counts. Yeesh, settle down.
That said, I will not let the terrorists win here, and I will get those damn photos. Tomorrow is a brand new day, Asshole Camera, and I will win this war.
Ahem. Goodnight.

What are Cracked Nipples?
Very often when women start nursing, they may encounter breastfeeding problems such as cracked nipples. Cracked nipples are extremely painful and often also accompanied by bleeding. This problem commonly occurs as a result of poor positioning and latch-on during breastfeeding. However, certain measures can be taken to make breastfeeding more comfortable while your nipples are healing. Remember, breastfeeding is not supposed to be painful or uncomfortable!

OURAY COUNTY – Motorists should plan on at least one more overnight road closure on U.S. 550 Red Mountain Pass, as Colorado Department of Transportation contractor Midwest Rockfall finishes up a project to repair two outdated retaining walls on a sheer, exposed stretch of highway near the turnoff for Engineer Pass (not far from mile post 90).
Two overnight closures have already occurred – on July 12 and again on July 17 – to allow workers to make uninterrupted progress on the project. The worksite is not far from milepost 90, along a stretch of highway known as the Ruby Walls. The remaining scheduled overnight closure is for July 23, when the pass will be closed 8 p.m.-6 a.m.
Depending on how the project progresses during this latest announced closure, the contractor will determine whether any additional overnight closures are necessary to complete the job. A total of six closures are allowed under the terms of Midwest Rockfall's contract with CDOT, but the contractor does not anticipate needing to use all of them, said CDOT Public Relations Specialist Nancy Shanks.
CDOT engineers have identified "at least a couple dozen" cribwalls on Red Mountain Pass that are in need of repair – many of which are over 50 years old. CDOT will be working progressively to repair them all over the next several years, Shanks said.
"The ones that are there now weren't engineered to current specifications," she explained. "Nothing was falling away, but it was definitely time to get this done."
The new cribwall structures sandwich waffle-like geogrid material and layers of earth within wire baskets that are bolted into place and secured with a horizontal front. Each structure will be finished off with bolting timber to give it an aesthetically pleasing look that fits in with the historic nature of the highway.
Improved drainage structures are also being incorporated into the project.
CDOT is conducting several other projects in the area this summer, including bridge replacements in Ridgway and Placerville, and a paving project in Telluride.
The Red Mountain cribwall project should be completed by late September, Shanks said. Until this time, motorists will encounter single-lane, alternating traffic between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. There is no weekend work. Motorists should also expect to encounter periodic full traffic holds in both directions of up to 15 minutes during work hours. Actual delay times will vary depending upon traffic volumes.
For information on this project, call Midwest Rockfall, Inc.'s Public Information Manager Filiberto Marquez, at (970) 462-1529. Information on other CDOT projects statewide can be accessed on the Internet at cotrip.org/.

Thread: In Need of Help.
In Need of Help.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I am writing this post as an attempt to clear up my situation, as I have been struggling with it physically and emotionally on and off for the last four years. I request the advice of any current or retired Marines or anyone with extensive knowledge of how military discharges in the Marine Corps work.
I joined the United States Marine Corps on May 05, 2008. I was stationed at MCRD, San Diego. During Phase III of my basic training, I started having great difficulty breathing. I was reassigned to MRP on July 11th, 2008, the day before my 22nd birthday. I was taken to Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego and diagnosed with dypsnea, a breathing disorder in which the vocal cords swell under stress on the body and close the throat and is also known as vocal cord disorder. It occurs during activities such as running and heavy lifting and was often coupled with severe chest pain. I was given Prilosec OTC and was told it only helps about half of the people it's given to. Unforunately, my condition actually worsened. I was reassigned to the separation platoon and told I was being sent home and I had failed to become a United States Marine. My discharge status was ELS-COG.
Here is where there's a twist. While in the separation platoon, just before I was to leave, I was told to report to the commander, and he stated that my discharge status was being changed. I was to be listed as 180 days active duty, a Medical Discharge (he said it was between an Honorable and General Discharge) and given a discharge status of 3G, meaning I could still be drafted, which is fine with me, and could also reenlist if cleared by the Surgeon General. I would receive medical service for my dypsnea, and nothing else, through the VA for up to two years or until it had been addressed. Upon my leaving MCRD, I was told to gather my uniforms, medals, ribbon, and a few other items I had returned, but wasn't left enough time to do so before my flight was scheduled. I still have one of my Sharpshooter medals, which had become "lost" in the bottom of my pack, but nothing was every forwarded to me. I left MCRD on July 28th, 2008, three days before I had been scheduled to graduate with the rest of my platoon.
Upon my return, I reported within less than a week to the VA Medical Center in Gaylord, Michigan, and was informed that I was nowhere in their computer system and to report back in a week. I did so with the same result for a month before I was told to go to the closest VA Office to my home, which was Petoskey, Michigan. There, we discovered that my discharge was screwed up. The DD-214 declares that I was only in the Marine Corps for 87 days, while the rest of the paperwork states 180 days, listing my discharge date as January 27th, 2009. The VA Officer and myself went back and forth with the VA for two years before finally abandoning any hope of being seen by a doctor. I still have the condition, which I never had before that week in Phase III, and was finally seen by a doctor on a company health plan last summer. I am on Clonopin, a muscle relaxant, which is working for most cases, and have to carry an emergency inhaler as it was discovered that I have developed a mild case of asthma over the last year or so.
My question is this: What am I? I never once regretted my decision to join the Marine Corps, I hold nothing against them, and will support the Corps with my life. I feel I am a Marine, but am I really? I don't have the uniform, I don't have a corrected DD-214 despite trying two years to obtain one, and I don't know what to do. Can anyone out there help me? What became of my uniform, my ribbon for enlisting during a wartime, my other medals? Is there any way to get them back? Do I even deserve them? What do I do?
You can contact a VSO (Veterans service officer such as the American Legion or Disabled American Veterans) and they may help you get a corrected DD214. They will also help you try to receive compensation for your condition. Go to www.va.gov for information on filing a claim.
You need to just look at the facts – while you may not like or appreciate ALL of my comments, the facts are what is relevant in your story.
First, I do sympathize with your situation. You made it thru DEP, and got to Boot Camp (Recruit Training) and qualified at the range, etc.. I'll give you credit for that.
A reenlistment code of RE-3G is defined as: A separation due to a Condition (not physical disability) interfering with performance of duty.
Individuals with a Navy/Marine/Coast Guard RE Code of "3G" can normally reenlist in their service or another Service, but will probably require a waiver to be processed for reenlistment. This has nothing to do with (not) being able to be drafted (in the future). I'm sure that was communicated, to explain that it is possible to be drafted – but not a likely circumstance.
Anyway, let's go over some key points. Based on your own words (I left out the unnecessary text, for brevity):
You say:
I joined the United States Marine Corps on May 05, 2008. I was reassigned to MRP on July 11th, 2008. I left MCRD on July 28th, 2008, three days before I had been scheduled to graduate with the rest of my platoon.
My comment:
Which means you spent about 84-87 days TOTAL on active duty. Of which 67 days were spent in Boot Camp, credited as training days. The remainder of the days, are not applicable to Training Days, etc.
You didn't graduate from Boot Camp; You didn't earn your EGA; you were simply a recruit for 84-87 days, with about 67 training days – NOT YET a Marine. You could have been is "limbo" as a recruit for 1-2 years and still not be considered anything other than a recruit. I know it sucks, but's that's the reality of it. Are you going to go thru the rest of your like suggesting to people that you were a Marine? Or, will you be honest with yourself (and others); and say you got discharged from Recruit Training with a medical condition (not physical disability, BTY). BUT, if your records do in fact indicate a Medical Discharge, then that can be one reason WHY you're having such a problem. The 3G RE code suggests you don't have a physical disability, which I believe is incorrect, since you clearly did; or still do.
Then you say:
..the commander stated that my discharge status was being changed. I was to be listed as 180 days active duty, a Medical Discharge (he said it was between an Honorable and General Discharge) and given a discharge status of 3G, meaning I could still be drafted, which is fine with me, and could also reenlist if cleared by the Surgeon General. I would receive medical service for my dypsnea, and nothing else, through the VA for up to two years or until it had been addressed.
My comment:
So, it seems you were given a Medical Discharge; with a RE Code of 3G, which seems reasonable. What this also means is: You weren't given a "LIFE Time" VA entitlement for anything OTHER than your dypsnea (Difficulty in breathing, often associated with lung or heart disease and resulting in shortness of breath. Also called air hunger..) I'm not surprised you're having trouble with the VA. [Note: they likely don't regard you as a "Veteran".] That's because your "Physical Disability" (dypsnea) wasn't due to the Recruit Training you were going through. Rather, it was a condition that was deemed as pre-existing, and "became an issue" while you were IN Recruit Training. As opposed to falling and breaking your back; OR getting Viral Pnuemonia; or Meningitis, etc.
You say:
Upon my leaving MCRD, I was told to gather my uniforms, medals, ribbon, and a few other items I had returned, but wasn't left enough time to do so before my flight was scheduled. I still have one of my Sharpshooter medals, which had become "lost" in the bottom of my pack, but nothing was every forwarded to me.
My comment:
You likely only earned, and are entitled to (as a momento), the Rifle Sharpshooter Medal. All of the other items are only relevant after you earn your EGA. The reason all the other stuff (I'd guess) wasn't forwarded to you was, because, the Recruit Training Command didn't view it as necessary. Or simply didn't care. That's harsh, but likely true.
You say:
There, we discovered that my discharge was screwed up. The DD-214 declares that I was only in the Marine Corps for 87 days, while the rest of the paperwork states 180 days, listing my discharge date as January 27th, 2009.
My comment:
I'd don't know what you mean by "the rest of the paperwork", since you were separated FROM Recruit Trainina after 87 days. So, your DD-214 reflects that. Along with the RE Code of 3G. Anyway from your arrival at MCRDSD, 180 days is approximately equal to November 2; and January 27, would be 267 days, so the number of days are screwed up anyways. You were either a recruit for 87 days; or 180 days; or 267 days. It all becomes irrelevant, since you were separated from MCRDSD (Active Duty) on July 28th, 2008, with a RE Code of 3G, via your DD-214. The Medical Discharge paperwork was either provided to you at that time or you got it later. I got my Honorable Discharge 2 years after I was separated from active duty. My DD-214 was handed to me the day I left Pendleton after 4 years of AD.
You say:
The VA Officer and myself went back and forth with the VA for two years before finally abandoning any hope of being seen by a doctor. I still have the condition, which I never had before that week in Phase III,
My comment:
It's now been almost 4 years since you got separated. You should either know that your condition will NOT get cured, or know there IS hope for a cure. I'm not a doctor, but I'd guess your dypsnea was present prior to Recruit Training and was just not diagnosed, prior to Phase III.
Recruit Training (or the Marines) didn't give you dypsnea. But you are entitled to help, that you obviously haven't received yet. Don't feel too bad, a lot of Marines/Service Members had to wait 10,20, 30 years to get treated properly by the VA. Many NEVER got any help.
You say:
My question is this: What am I?
I feel I am a Marine, but am I really?
I don't have the uniform, I don't have a corrected DD-214 despite trying two years to obtain one, and I don't know what to do. Can anyone out there help me? What became of my uniform, my ribbon for enlisting during a wartime, my other medals? Is there any way to get them back? Do I even deserve them? What do I do?
My comment:
Let's be honest here. I'd guess you really know the answers to your questions? Keep your Sharpshooting Badge, knowing you actually did earn it.
As far as anything else, just accept your past circumstances as a fact of life and move on. Depending on your age and any medical help - you may get cured and and you can try to re-enlist. Other than that, I'd just man up to the fact that you didn't earn your EGA and you're not a Marine (YET). You certainly gave it a shot, but it didn't work out for you. Do not lose faith in what you want to accomplish. All is not lost. I joined the Marines when I was 21; (which was kinda older than most in 1966). You're likely 26 now. I had a recruit in my battalion that was 33 when he enlisted – he tried for 7 years to join and finally made it. He did have a very tough time in Recruit Training, BUT he and I both made L/CPL on the same day – about 4 weeks after Boot Camp. [By then, we thought we really knew our $heet – we didn't.]
Truthfully, If anyone asks: Tell them you went to Marine Corps Recruit Training and got a Medical Discharge (due to your dypsnea) . And you're trying to reenlist (or you're NOT). If you do make it – you'll have the rest of your life to share your story and adventures as a Marine. Anything else is just BS. And I don't mean that with any disrespect, since you asked for advice/confirmation from others, I wanted to give you one view on how your post was received.
Others may disagree. But, I have (also) BTDT and have the friggen pictures, etc., including whatever ribbons, medals, etc. I have packed away.So, it's just MY analysis of your situation – nothing more.
Good Luck to you.
DaShadow, Pretty much says it like it is ..
As cold and hard as it can be.
#1, no EGA, no Marine title..
Gear ?? not quite clear which gear/stuff you're talking about..

the statement is confusing to me,
Sorry, I'm old and easily confused.

They were not allowed to keep Uniforms,
or gear.
Bye the same token, they weren't required to

Washouts and rejects
had to purchase civilian

best of my memory.
Good Luck in your travels
DaShadow - I appreciate your advice and your words of wisdom. Any help is better than no help at all. I can take the harsh facts, and I appreciate your honesty. I would like to clear up a couple things, though, as I noticed your confusion and where I left out some information in my post.
When I was discharged, I always stated the facts, just like you mentioned, until recently (more on that later). I stated that I didn't graduate from Basic Training due to an injury sustained in basic training (dypsnea) and didn't earn the right to call myself a Marine. To clear this up, I had never had trouble with breathing before in my life. I was a long-distance runner in middle school and frequently rode a bicycle for fifty miles or more at a time cross-country through high school and before joining the Marine Corps. I was checked before basic for breathing trouble and none showed. I even ran the IST one and a half miler in 10 minutes, 29 seconds, and, despite shin splints, ran the three miler in 25 minutes, 45 seconds. Therefore, after leaving the medical platoon for the separation platoon, it was determined that the injury was sustained during basic training and not prior, hence my changed discharge status. This came about through a Staff Sergeant in the medical platoon who went to bat for me along with the physical assistant (I can't remember his actual title, but he was a civilian) in the medical platoon. I was basically told I was being given the same status as the recruits who had a broken back/chronic pneumonia/other issue.
On your comment about my discharge status, I never once expected to receive lifetime benefits, compensation pay, veteran status, or anything remotely like that. I expected exactly what you said: support for two years for my dypsnea and nothing else, but got nothing. That was all I was after when I got home, because I thought if I could get it cured, I could rejoin. However, the VA, with the exception of my officer, refused to work with me toward that end. Also, just to restate, if there was a draft, I would be first in line to reenlist in the Corps.
On your comment about my getting cured, I have found something that helps through a wellness program at a prior job. I was allotted $200 to see a local doctor about finding a way to breathe better last summer, and was put on Clonopin, a mild muscle relaxant, that relaxes my vocal cords in my throat enough to breathe when my body is under stress, plus an emergency inhaler. The Clonopin will slow the process, but not stop it.
I do have a quick question, though. Due to the high number of applicants for the Marine Corps, I was told last year that I could no longer join after the age of 26 (except in cases of a draft), which I turn next month. Is there any truth in this?
Another point I would like to make, which is mainly where my personal confusion comes from, is this: I have been in contact with retired and current Marines and other military members, people I'd never met before Basic Training. When I tell them exactly what you said, that I was in Marine Corps Basic Training at MCRD San Diego, made it to Phase III, and was diagnosed with dypsnea, given a discharge status of 3G, and came home without graduating, they all say I should still call myself a Marine, and they call me one. For four years it's been like that. Hence, my confusion. I try to explain that I didn't graduate, and they wave it off and say I had the will to fight for my country, I joined for the right reasons, and I fought for two years for my "disability" and eventually overcame it and that's good enough for them.
One thing I forgot to mention, which is very important and I can't believe I forgot. I was originally diagnosed with dypsnea while in the medical recovery platoon, but some test results that came back later while I was in separation said that I also tested positive for asthma. Records show I had tested negative for asthma before basic training, which led to the change in discharge status thanks to the two people I mentioned before who received the records and went to bat for me. Also, in a meeting with the commander handling my discharge, the commander told me that my changed discharge wouldn't allow me to rejoin the Marine Corps due to my asthma, and I asked him if there was anything he could do to make it so I could get back in. He told me he wished half the recruits had my attitude (sounds cheesy, but it's what he said), and he said a 3G for dypsnea, as I was originally diagnosed, was the best he could do, so I took that chance in hopes I could return someday. I may have just answered my own question - I feel like an idiot now. For four years I never put two and two together, until discussing it here. My change back to dypsnea from asthma must have triggered the change in my DD-214 back to ELS-COG, rather than the two years benefits. It only changed on the DD-214, though, which was why I was so confused. Does any of this make any sense?
I've read your plight and feel for ya, man! Your heart is certainly in the right place. Unfortunately, it's like leading the race and crashing on the last lap with a DNF... Technically, you are a recruit until graduation day when the title "Marine" is earned and given to you. It appears you did all the right things, except 'graduate'. Never give up! I do not know the cut-off age, but I went thru Parris Island with a 31 year old back in '75. It may have been on a waiver, but maybe you could, too.....Good luck and Semper-Fi!
I understand your desire to try and work through your rather complex experience, by posting your history here. But, my head hurts from reading your last post. No fault of yours, just my feeble attempt to analyze your postings.
Like I said before – you got dealt a bad hand. Aside from your medical problems (in Recruit Training), you were likely a dedicated Recruit and performed honorably while in Recruit Training. I'll not comment any further on your medical status/analysis. I would like to reinforce my opinion of your status after being discharged from Recruit Training (prior to graduation). Only because it may save you some grief, if you continue to relate all "the details", when someone asks you about your military service.
You (and sympathetic acquaintenances) have, in the past deemed yourself a Marine. For the last 50 or so years, NO ONE who was discharged from Recruit Training, prior to the completion of such training has been regarded as "A Marine". Nor, IMO, should they rightfully call themselves A Marine. Rather, they were Recruits that didn't complete Recruit Training and therefore, didn't earn the EGA. No EGA = NOT a Marine.
To be clear, the only bonofide Marines that didn't complete Recruit Training (at San Diego or Parris Island) are direct Commissioned Officers; OR members of the Marine Band (they don't have to attend Recruit Training). Do you play an instrument? Really, Really well??
In your heart, do you REALLY think you're a Marine? In the same context as any Marine that has earned the EGA? If you do, then there is no reason for you to comment to this (my last post).
Live your life as you see fit, BUT…..
Some day, you'll be at a BBQ and notice a young man with an artificial leg. You'll walk up to him to chat.
Conversation will go like this:
You: "What happened to your leg?"
Young Man: "I got injured in Afghanistan. I lost a leg, but a number of my "Brothers" were KIA. I'd give anything to trade places with any one of them."
You: "What branch of Service?"
Young Man: "The Marines. Were you in the service? Which branch?"
You: "Yes, I was. I am a Marine also."
Young Man: "Well, Semper Fi, Brother. When did you graduate from Recruit Training? What was your MOS? Where were you stationed? Ever deployed? How long were you in? When did you get out? What was your best duty station? What was the highest rank you EARNED?"
You: "Well, I actually never graduated from Recruit Training; I never got an MOS and never stationed anywhere. I joined the Marine Corps on May 05, 2008. I got sick and was reassigned to MRP on July 11th, 2008. I left MCRD on July 28th, 2008, prior to my Platoon graduating. I got a medical discharge based on my illness and even though I was in a total of 87 days, before being sent home.
But, I still regard myself "A Marine.""
Young Man: "Uh…..OK…You believe that??
That's like saying: "I earned a Purple Heart (though never actually received it), because I once heard an RPG impact."
Actually, you were REALLY - A Marine Recruit, but never made Private."
Wolfeman…..Last comment….
You do realize, you could have made your initial post – Just specific to getting VA/Medical advice/help and NOT gone into all the verbiage relative to your "Am I a Marine, Yes or No? By going there – there are some of us who cruise this forum, that feel compelled to comment – with Honor, Integrity & Duty.
Just remember: Fideli Certa Merces (Google is your friend).
After my time in the Marine Corps, I spent 25 years working for a 3Letter Govt. Agency – as an Intelligence Analyst. Based on my experience, my advice to you is to seek MORE (proper) medical help. And, IMO, You should also consider alternative assistance which may resolve any other wonderments you have, or may develop in the future.
Good Luck to you.
FYI - It's not "Basic Training" in the Marine Corps. It's either called Recruit Training or Boot Camp.
There's nothing "basic" about it. LOL....
DaShadow, none of my bee's wax, but that is the first I heard that members of the Marine Band do not have to attend Boot Camp.....back in '75, the Platoon Honor Man of Plt. 2004, Jim Snyder, from Lehigh, Pa. joined with a guarantee to the Marine Band as a Clarinet player. I remember talking with DI, SSgt. Collins after graduation about him. 'L/Cpl' Snyder was the cream of the crop for the Marine Corps, as SSgt. Collins put it, but 'chose to blow on that bugle, or whatever it is'! LOL! I thought ALL Marines had to graduate Boot Camp.....as ALL Marines are basic riflemen, first...Or, has that changed? One hellava nice guy, Snyder was! I regret we lost contact after a year or so.........Maybe I'll find him on Leatherneck some day! Semper-Fi!
I should have been a little more precise. I was referring to THE Marine Band which is uniquely known as "The President's Own. I wanted to cite the ONLY example of enlisted Marines who are not required to complete Recruit Training in order to be classified as a Marine.
The Marine Band recruits members that are selected through a rigorous audition procedure; be extremely experienced musicians and must satisfy additional security and physical requirements to be eligible.
Upon enlistment, selected band members serve under a four-year contract as active dutyenlisted Marines and are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and physical standards.
They are the only members of the United States Armed Forces NOT required to undergo recruit training and DO NOT perform combat missions (or mess duty, guard duty, fire watch, etc.) They are musicians, NOT combat trained Marines. Also, they are not assigned to any unit other than the Marine Band.
MOS 5511 is assigned to musicians who are enlisted "for duty with the United States Marine Band only." They are appointed to the grade of staff sergeant (E6) commencing upon their initial 4-year enlistment. These enlistees report directly to the Marine Band, Marine Barracks, Washington, DC for duty. They are permanently assigned to the Band and perform musical duties as an instrumentalist or music related technical duties as a member of the support staff.
The band members wear rank insignia with a lyre replacing the normal crossed rifles. Commissioned officers are drawn from the band, although Drum Majors are career Marines and are selected from Fleet Marine Force bands, as they are responsible for the military development of the band's members.
Any Enlisted Marine who wants to start their Marine Corps career, WITHOUT graduating from Recruit Training, will have to be selected, then enlist, as a member of the United States Marine Band (meaning,The Presidents Own).
I cant explain the promises made to your Marine friend and why he went to Recruit Training if he did in fact enlist as a member of The Marine Band. He may have enlisted with a slot to one of the Division or Regimental Bands; or the CMC Band. They go to Recruit Training. Thereafter, if they dont make the cut, as a Band Member, they usually get an MOS, based on the needs of the Corps.
Interesting, DaShadow! I did not know that. Thanks for enlightening me on that! It does make sense, tho. I figured you must have to be really good at ANY instrument to qualify for the Marine Band. They are the best!
DaShadow - Thank you very much for your advice. That is one of the answers I have been looking for for many years. I had been curious as to whether or not the other recruits injured ever received the title of Marine, and now I know.
Also, you're exactly right about the barbeque situation. That is the type of conversation I had feared, and one of the reasons for my original post. I will do the honorable thing, especially since I now know it's the right thing. I like the idea of simply explaining I didn't graduate and if they want to know more, I'll let them know more. That's what I had been trying to do, and will start to do once again.
I have never and will never hold anything against the Marine Corps for what happened to me. It's not their fault, nor anybody's, including myself. I've thought over each day and each event of each day thousands of times in my mind trying to figure out what I could have done different and the answer is always the same: I gave it my all, and I would never give any less. My body just didn't hold up, and I accept that.
Thank you once again for your advice. Whether you consider it harsh or not, it has helped. Thank you.
Wolfeman (I don't know how you came up with that name) But, coming from a 'Wolfe" man, that is the attitude that will take you thru life accepting the things you cannot change and adapting to the circumstances handed to you. I wish you well. There is no shame for trying. Maybe you are not the Marine you desired to be, but you still have 'grit'! Good luck! Semper-Fi!
bodidly58 - Thank you for your kind words. I fully attend to apply in my life what I did learn in the Corps from my short time as a recruit, and nothing can ever replace that knowledge.
Also, if you're curious as to where I got the name, it was a bit of a nickname from between high school and joining the Marine Corps. I was called Wolfman because I couldn't grow facial hair on my upper lip, thus giving the initial appearance of an Abe Lincoln-style beard, but it grows like crazy everywhere else, so people nicknamed me the Wolfman. I changed it to Wolfeman with an "e" after Wolfe Tone, the leader of the Irish Rebellion around the same time as the American Revolution. I have a heavy Irish heritage (my grandfather holds dual citizenship as his father was an Irish immigrant), so it makes sense once all put together.
I have a question for anyone out there. Is there any way to change my status away from "Marine" on my profile? I looked through it and didn't see a way.
Well, now Wolfeman! That heritage is interesting! As my mother's ancestry migrated from Ireland back 9 generations ago, As a young lad of 17, William Mustard stowed away on a ship full of cattle to America to escape the gallows! (May be where I get my comical side from) Long story, but an interesting one. Married up with Sally Brown, a girl with a condition known as 'straight fingers'. (Missing one knuckle) That trait is still prominent in Bland County.. Then, he drowned in New River, as many has...AS far as changing your status..I wouldn't worry about it much. Most of us has figured out how it got there and I don't think changing it will change much. (Besides, I don't know how).....Sempers!

There's so many things to SMH about following this debate, but the single parent households lead to gun violence thing is really killing me. There are not enough WTFs in the world.
2 things are going through my head.
1. How could you possibly bring yourself to vote for Romney? the man can't even explain HOW he's going to do change anything.
2. How can you still be undecided? especially after hearing this debate and the constant lies Romney spews. So glad Obama called him out.

Juventus, Pirlo, history will be challenges
As Steve McManaman was picking balls out of a bowl Friday morning, choosing the opponents for the Champions League quarterfinal draw, I found myself up in the air about who I wanted Bayern Munich to face in the next round.
Borussia Dortmund drew Malaga first, Real Madrid got Galatasaray second, and then there were four teams left: Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Barcelona and FC Bayern. When PSG's name was called next, I thought "Well, with Zlatan Ibraimovic suspended the first leg, they are probably the easiest draw of the last three." But, it was not to be as McManaman next drew Barcelona.
-- Champions League draw analysis
In football, of course, you still have to maximise such luck. Many of the Leeds players, though, accused Bayern of doing exactly that -- except not with their ability.
Ah, so Bayern gets Juventus. While many would consider Bayern's first leg at home a disadvantage, I'm inclined to think the opposite going on their road form this season-- only losing to BATE Borisov away from the Allianz this term.
Throughout their European history, both German teams left in the competition have less-than-positive records against their opponents' respecitve nations. Bayern Munich has only won six times of 23 matches against Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus; Borussia Dortmund fares little better: Five wins, six draws and seven losses against Spanish sides.
Bayern Munich has been complacent of late, culminating in the progression to the quarterfinals with an embarrassing loss against Arsenal in the Allianz. Uli Hoeness was especially bitter, saying post-match: "We played crap football the past three weeks. We barely beat Hoffenheim and barely beat Duesseldorf. It doesn't matter who we get next."
While you may not appreciate the tone, truer words were never spoken. For all the talent this Bayern team possesses, it seems to fail them, of late, at the most inopportune times. The 2011 competition saw Inter come to Munich -- and toss out Bayern on away goals; the stunning loss of the 2012 final-- also at the Allianz, and yes, the Arsenal return leg this week.
You may also cite the Euro 2012 Germany-Italy match -- when the Germans fielded a Bayern Munich majority-- where Jogi Loew had no answer for Italy and Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo.
It will be up to Jupp Heynckes to solve the Pirlo problem this time around, and certainly makes for an interesting tactical battle -- one that doesn't feature Toni Kroos anywhere near Pirlo, as the German international bore the brunt of Pirlo's damage during the semifinal.
But, by UEFA magically keeping the two big Spanish and German teams apart, if the four can all manage to do their duties, it sets up mouth-watering semifinal and final Clasicos and Klassikers. Or, just some really good football. That is, if Bayern Munich wants to get on board.

But traveling through various countries can be challenging, given the different languages, different rules and all the planning. In 1959, a number of railway companies got together to create a single European rail pass, the "Eurail Pass". With this pass, traveling between countries became easier, faster and more economical than ever before.

Summary of The Book of Tea Summary of The Book of Tea Reviews for The Book of Tea An Excerpt from The Book of Tea
Zen and the art of tea-the classic book about the Japanese tea ceremony that is as much a guide to life.
Ritualized, romantic, and historically rich, the tea ceremony is the creation of something beautiful out of the everyday. Originally written in English more than a hundred years ago to be read aloud at Isabella Stewart Gardner's famous salon, The Book of Tea presents the meeting of East and West in a teacup. It explores Asian culture through the history and aestheticism-or "teaism"-of the tea ceremony and also suggests a deep connection between beauty and war, and between flowers and social mores. In its formality, attention to detail, and celebration of beauty and harmony, the tea ceremony encapsulates the Japanese view of life-in fact, the art of life.

Moving on you eventually round a corner to the first glimpse of Upper Yosemite Falls. This is the only place in the park you can get upclose photos of the falls. In spring you will get soaked with mist all the way through here. The trail levels out for a while before ducking into a large crevass in the cliff wall and the falls disappear for the rest of the climb as several dozen more switchbacks finally bring us to the rim of Yosemite Valley. The trail is easily lost here but there is a small fenced in viewing area on the cliff at the brink of the falls. There is a very narrow rock stairwell to get down though and people with a fear of heights may want to stay well back from the view point. The only way back is the way you came.

The feeling here greatly differs from the valley rim trails: no granite, lots of green, the smell of pine needles all over, rolling landscape and very few other hikers. The scenery doesn't change must in the forest, but it's nice to stop here for a while, sit on a fallen tree and listen for wildlife. After a few minutes your notice birds (and deer if you're lucky) that you would have missed if you just hurried through.
At one point, the trail takes you within a mile of Tioga Road in the northern section of the park. There, you will hook into the Snow Creek Trail, which parallels the eponymous creek and leads back into the valley. After a couple hours in the woods, you'll finally emerge at a point on the rim between Snow Creek Falls and Basket Dome, revealing your reward: the best views of the hike with Half Dome and the Quarter Domes looming across the way.
The trail then descends quickly down a series of switchbacks, so tighten your laces first. Once you reach the valley floor, you've still got a couple of easy, flat miles to go before ending at bus stop #17. The last section of this monster hike passes Mirror Lake where many artists and photographers set up their easels and tripods to capture Half Dome at the golden hour preceding sunset. Two bus stops later, I was back at my campsite, gratefully reaching into my cooler and rewarding myself with a cold can of Budweiser. The entire hike with stops took me between 8 and 9 hours to complete. I move pretty fast, so allow an extra hour or so if you don't.
From journal Adventures in Yosemite National Park
Almost immediately, the trail rises steeply over a series of switchbacks. Don't despair -- the whole ascent is not like this. After a mile or so, you'll get to catch your breath at Columbia Rock and enjoy the wonderful views of the valley below and the Three Brothers formation behind you. Less ambitious hikers might want to turn around here, but I recommend continuing to the top.
Soon after Columbia Rock, a less-steep section brings you close to the Lower Falls and Middle Cascade. I hiked this trail in late September when crowds are lighter. Unfortunately, so is the water flow -- mighty Yosemite Falls is reduced to a trickle in late summer. Still, you can imagine feeling the spray from the falls if you hiked the trail in May or June. For the last uphill mile, the trail winds and steepens again. As you reach the top, a short spur path brings you to the brink of the falls. (A railing here keeps you from falling over as well.) Watch for soaring hawks here.
Continuing on the trail, a wooden bridge carries you over the creek feeding the falls and points you toward Yosemite Point, which offers sweeping views of the valley. Most hikers turn around at this point for a 7-mile round trip, but with a lot of water, energy and daylight left, I decided to continue on to North Dome. Here the trail retreats a bit into the forest and you lose the valley vistas for the next 2.5 miles until you reach the North Dome spur. This short path puts you on top of the granite dome and provides dead-on views of Half Dome across the valley. It's a great place to break for lunch. Returning from here, it's about a 12-mile round-trip hike. But. . . .

Top 10 natural ingredients in hair products.
The more we embrace our natural texture, the more we learn that organic and natural hair products work best. There are hundreds of ingredients found in nature that can be used in hair products. Healthy ingredients aren't for textured hair alone! These ingredients work to make everybody's hair healthier. Below is a list of ten popular ingredients in natural hair products and what they provide for our hair.
1. Shea Butter:
High in fatty acids, shea butter is an emollient — meaning it provides a layer of oil on top of the surface of a hair strand, significantly reducing the amount of moisture (water) lost. This is what Naturally Curly girls mean when using products like this to "seal" their hair.

Juan Manuel Lopez, once a bright star in the featherweight division, needs to have a spectacular performance against former foe Daniel Ponce de Leon in Puerto Rico on Showtime on Saturday in order for the boxing world to accept that he isn't finished.
The recurring theme of the showdown between Miguel Cotto and middleweight champ Sergio Martinez seems to be respect. Both fighters were recently in L.A., the final stop on the press tour for their June 7 fight at Madison Square Garden.
Middleweight champ Sergio Martinez says he's recovered from injuries that will have kept him out of the ring for more than a year by the time he defends his title against Miguel Cotto on June 7. "It's good timing," he said. "My injuries are the reason Miguel Cotto wanted the fight."
Middleweight champ Sergio Martinez and his challenger Miguel Cotto, and their respective promoters, met the media and their fans at Madison Square Garden, the site of their June 7 showdown.
Sergio Martinez accused Miguel Cotto of being "like a 15-year-old girl" with the demands he made during negotiations for their June 7 fight. Cotto shrugged it off and said he'll be the one selling the tickets in New York, so he will be the one calling the shots.
Sergio Martinez is looking forward to the challenge of facing the smaller, but fearless Miguel Cotto on June 7, saying that a victory will be "the third-most spectacular memory in my life."
Middleweight champ Sergio Martinez and challenger Miguel Cotto took to the stage in Puerto Rico to promote their June 7 fight at Madison Square Garden, with the hometown crowd firmly behind Cotto's bid to win a world title.

Readers share their thoughts on Orlando Salido-Vasyl Lomachenko, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-Bryan Vera II, Robert Stieglitz-Arthur Abraham III, Canelo Alvarez-Alfredo Angulo, and ask what's next for Lomachenko, Chavez, Abraham and Amir Khan in this week's Monday mailbag.
