It is now quite clear that the banks and other financial institutions scream against government interference, but when they screw up money matters badly, they scream for the government to help them. It seems that when they are making money and getting huge bonuses they bravely broadcast against the government, but when things get tough, help! They want all of the benefits and bonuses but none of the risks. Disgusting. This is only the tip of the ice berg when it comes to our current capitalist beggars. Since Ronald Reagan schemed in the White House to secret arms deals with Iran for money to support the illegal Contras, the double standard among wealthy right-wingers has been rampant. Perhaps the saddest part of it is how they have used lobbyists to hood-wink the average American.
By all accounts, the Cash for Clunkers program has not only worked but has been a huge success. The federal government came up with a wonderful way to jump-start the auto industry in the U.S. AND get rid of some of the old gas-guzzlers. One problem: the auto dealers, those local capitalists, have tried to scam the system in many places. They had signed deals with customers to sell a car, then they pulled the old double-switch and told the customers that the car price was higher but don't worry you are still getting a good deal with the government's help. And now some dealers are complaining that they are selling too many cars and hate to wait for the government's reimbursement. There is no end to greed.
It is important that I pause here to thank all the people who posted comments on my blog. It is greatly appreciated. Such loyalty is amazing. ALL of your comments support my blog's perspective. The difference is between those who realize this, and those who do not. In any case, thanks.
After years of carrying the pure banner of Christian principles and family values, the conservatives have been uncovered for their two-faced lives. Hypocrisy, found in both political parties, was used majestically by the conservatives. They condemned every moral slip by "the other guy." JFK, Teddy Kennedy, Bill Clinton were favorite targets of the hypocritical right-wing. But as immorality and double-standards in the right-wing became abundantly clear, there is now a hint that their judging the other guy may stop. There is hope. But those who practice such two-faced lying hold onto their deception firmly.
There should be no need to go to a list of immoral activities by right-wingers. It is all-too-common to try and hide. George W. Bush's early years have been touched-up a bit. Ronald Reagan was a playboy in Hollywood even while married. Newt Gingrich had a lifestyle that could only be termed "sleazy." Henry Hyde led the fight to impeach Clinton while he tried to cover up his own adultery. The list goes on.
"We have among us a class of mammon worshippers whose one test of conservatism or radicalism is the attitude one takes with respect to accumulated wealth. Whatever tends to preserve the wealth of the wealthy is called conservatism, and whatever favors anything else, no matter what, they call socialism." -Ronald T. Ely
"Callous greed grows pious very fast." -Lillian Hellman
As Rush Limbaugh refers to Obama's plans as Nazi, he totally misunderstands what Nazi philosophy is. It is an extreme right-wing perspective. I don't think even Rush thinks Obama is a extreme right-winger. I guess trying to label Obama as a socialist didn't work, so try the other direction. Sad.
The Nazi and fascist philosophy was tied up in Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Hitler especially was helped to power by American capitalists who financed him. It is well established about what direction Nazi and fascist perspective heads. You will find it is a right-wing philosophy. Quotes:
Use any search engine to find tons of undemocratic material posted by the right-wing, the neocon thugs. [see below for a suggestion] They tell you how to stop any health care reform. They suggest that you go to town hall meetings of U.S. Senators and Congresspersons, disperse in the crowd to make you look like a bigger group, and then begin shouting as soon as the town hall opens for questions. And keep shouting and shout louder and be more aggressive and threatening to the leader of the town hall. This is the "democracy" of the right wing in America. It is exactly how the Nazis came to power in Germany. They turned democratic gatherings into melees and disruptive fights. There is no room for the opinions of others. There is no room for democracy for the right-wing, period.
"When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff." -Marcus Cicero
Almost daily we are informed about some new electronic marvel that will make our lives better. Whether it is in cyberspace, music, literature, telephones, communication, storage, autobiographical info, personal indulgent data, ad infinitum, I ask you to consider --just consider and ponder-- the following...
With all the amazing electronic gadgetry and musical "instrumentation," has the music gotten better?
With the obvious need for health care facing us, why would people lie to prevent it? Under the current, heavily flawed system, it will bankrupt the U.S., and with poorer results than in nations with universal health care. We spend much, much more than the industrialized nations who have better health care outcomes. How and why would people lie, cheat, give out misinformation, connive, scheme, distort, scare, shout, confuse, and use all sorts of thuggery to prevent health care reform from happening?
Right-wing groups have said that the AARP opposes health care reform. That is blatantly a lie. The AARP is spending money in the media to promote health care reform and criticize those who use lies and scare tactics to prevent reform from happening. Is it just the highly-paid lobbying of the insurance companies? That accounts for some of it. But it is somewhat understandable inasmuch as these insurance companies have been bilking the public and playing a shell game with coverage to garner immense profits. But there is more to this story of disception.
Mayor Tom Barrett: Speedy Recovery, Old Friend
Tom Barrett, Mayor of Milwaukee, is a decent man. He is a good family man. He is an honest man. Tom Barrett loves the city he serves.
Over this past weekend, while leaving the Wisconsin State Fair with family and friends, he confronted a man threatening a grandmother and her one-year-old grandchild. The man beat Mayor Barrett with a metal pipe. The Mayor was seriously injured and hospitalized.
Over 30 years ago I moved away from Wisconsin. When I left the state I thought that our governors were about average for U.S. states. After a few years, I was watching TV in Kansas City and saw an interview with the Governor of Wisconsin, Tommy Thompson. I was absolutely shocked. I thought to myself, "Wow, the people of Wisconsin have made a terrrible mistake in electing this guy. He is a buffoon at best." I sure was wrong, He was re-elected. Now having moved back to Wisconsin, I still cannot understand why that guy was ever elected to anything. He is an embarrassment to this state.
Perhaps it was Thompson's drinking. Perhaps it was his womanizing. And with the revelations coming out about other state governors, especially Republicans like Thompson, perhaps my opinion of governors was too high from the beginning.
Faced with a horrendous legacy of the George W. Bush years, President Barack Obama has done a remarkable job of righting the ship in many ways. He appears to have turned around the financial abyss that Bush left him. He is hastening the exit from our illegal war in Iraq. He is trying to overcome the myriad mistakes that Bush made early in the war in Afghanistan when defeating the terrorists was a real possibility, as was capturing bin Laden in Torah Borah. And he certainly has regained respect for the U.S. and re-built trust among the world's nations.
However he never should have allowed Congress to take the initial steps in health care reform. He should have laid out a reform plan and presented it to the Congressional leadership. Instead, every screwball in America has weighed in from the beginning with crackpot ideas, lies, lies, lies, distortion, ridiculous proposals, and all this wasted time has now seen a hodge-podge of legislation proposals that has confused everybody. The Republicans were determined to defeat ANY health care reform proposals that the Democrats introduced. It is a shell game being played by the right-wing. No matter how conciliatory the reform is proposed, the Republicans will simply move the goal posts.
Hundreds of years ago, Jews began to migrate into Europe. They found prejudice and bigotry everywhere. To survive, they found a kink in the armor of all these "proper" Christian Europeans. Their Christian puritanical streak would not allow them to loan money at a profit or interest. Christian principles had nothing to do with it, it was a way for the rich to remain with their riches and for the poor to stay poor. The Jews, who had no such double-standards and hypocrisy in the matter, found that they could make a living by giving out loans at a rate of interest. Thus evolved the Jewish businessman. The hypocritical Christians never fully forgave them for "taking advantage" of the hypocrisy, and bigotry fluorished through pogroms and other atrocities aimed at Jews. The Holocaust was the culmination of "Christian" retribution against the Jews for being less hypocritical and making a profit from it.
This European hypocrisy naturally found its way to the new United States of America. American founders wrote lofty ideals into the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. However these neat sounding ideals did not translate to blacks, Chinese, Hispanics, or women. From Day One, the United States of America has lived a lie. Minorities, including gays, have had to fight hard for their rights. Yet the Constitution was supposed to protect the rights of minorities. Tell that to the "Real Americans" who think otherwise, and pass judgment on minorities of various stripes, including our current President. To read American history is to read the history of a nation whose struggles have been dominated by bigotry, hatred, attempts at exclusion, violence against minorities, racism, sexism, ageism, ad infinitum. Pick up an American history textbook and see it boldly dominating.
To those who want to focus the life of Edward Kennedy on one incident in his life for which he should forever have been ashamed, I ask you to simply notice the avalanche of accoldades coming from the conservative leaders, past and present. Note what is being stated clearly by Nancy Reagan, by politicians of the right-wing with names like Hatch, Romney, etc. And from more moderate Republicans like John McCain. Note especially how Teddy was able to work with those across the aisle to pass over 300 bills that bear his name and are now law. Note how he was able to work with President George W. Bush to pass educational legislation.
If some right-wingers still insist in Ted Kennedy's recent death to overlook the favorable comments by their supposed right-wing brothers and sisters, it requires those from the left to work at subduing their comments about the tsunami of right-wing adulterers, immoral people, smarmy actions which are far more common among conservative politicians.
Far too many Americans think the group of early leaders in the founding of the United States of America were devout Christians. And the same Americans who believe this place all kinds of denominational or specific Christian interpretations on these guys. While they each held to the various flavors of religion, many were very bigoted and judgmental of others as they are today. It is impossible to make statements about their all being Christians and coming anything close to the truth. At best, regarding religion, many were Deists. Some were atheists. Some were Quakers. And just as today, the silly list of beliefs goes on. Here are some quotes from the early American leaders; judge for yourself...
"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded faith." -Thomas Jefferson

The Tick Index is Discontinued Until Spring:
The Fordham Tick Index is an estimate of the risk of being bitten by a nymphal or adult deer tick. Both of these stages are active at this time of year, although the smaller nymph is responsible for many more cases of Lyme disease. This index measures risk relative to other times of year. For more information about preventing tick bites, controlling ticks, Lyme disease and other illnesses ticks carry, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
The Fordham Tick Index is provided as a weekly public service by Fordham University and is based on both current and historical data from one site in Westchester County, N.Y. It is an estimate only. Actual risk may vary geographically. Therefore, always take precautions to prevent tick bites when outdoors.
Although tick season is nearly over, hunters still face the risk of exposure to adult ticks while outdoors. Deer are likely to have blacklegged ticks and any that are unattached might decide to jump ship onto a new host – the hunter – if the opportunity arises. Make sure to check yourself after handling deer or other wildlife.

text: Though we hope you're checking showtimes to see the man in the cowboy hat in Killer Joe, we understand the urge to want to spend time with Batman before he hangs up the suit for good. It was seven years ago that Christopher Nolan's superhero saga began its flight. Herewith, ten things we'll miss once the credits roll. 1. The growling. Something happens to Christian Bale's voice when he slips on that suit. 2. The IMAX. If ever there were a film worthy of Image Maximum, it's one showcasing Wally Pfister's sweeping bat's-eye view camera shots. 3. The score. You know the feeling you get when you hear Hans Zimmer's ticking notes. 4. The Batportation. We get the feeling Nolan's a kid in a candy store when it comes to his visionary reinventions of Batman's rides (see: the batmobile, batcycle, and now batplane). 5. The Rachels. Too bad she burned up in that fire. We'd have liked to have seen which thin brunette they'd have chosen this time. 6. The speculation. Who's Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character? Why is Tom Hardy wearing that thing on his face? This plot was more tight lipped than a monk playing the quiet game. 7. The grandeur. Indie films rock, but sometimes it's nice to sit back and think, Man, they dropped a huge wad on this. 8. The ladies. We hear Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, Kate Mara, and Charlotte Riley (plus tons more) all auditioned for the role of Selina Kyle and lost to Anne Hathaway. 9. The boys. Sifting through leading men such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to build a cast would be a tough job. We'd be happy to do it. 10. The costumes. Humans as animals never gets old. Find showtimes at fandango.com. To get a closer peek at the trilogy's finale, check out our slide show.

In Maine's long history, three days stand out above all others: July first, second and third of 1863.
The three days of the Battle of Gettysburg.
"Bayonet - July 2, 1863," a painting by American historical artist Don Troiani, depicts the 20th Maine Regiment at Little Round Top in Gettysburg, Pa. With his men running out of ammunition, Col. Joshua Chamberlain leads a bayonet charge during the three-day battle, generally considered the turning point in the American Civil War. This week marks the battle's 150th anniversary.
Painting by Don Troiani
FOR MORE about artist Don Troiani and his paintings of historic battle scenes, visit his website.
One hundred and fifty years ago this week, in the Civil War's greatest battle – the outcome of which changed the course of the war – Maine regiments played a critical role in turning back the Confederate invasion of the North and preventing what would have been a catastrophic loss for the Union.
On every day of the battle, from the first cannon fire in the hills outside Gettysburg to the Confederate Army's massive frontal attack on the third day, Mainers were in the middle. They were at all the bucolic landmarks made famous by bloodshed: the Devil's Den, the Peach Orchard, the Wheat Field, Little Round Top, the Copse of Trees, the Bloody Angle, Cemetery Hill.
The exploits of the 20th Maine Regiment, which defended Little Round Top under Bowdoin professor Joshua Chamberlain, have been celebrated in books and on film, but other Maine regiments played roles that were just as critical, said John Heiser, a historian at the Gettysburg National Military Park.
While more Union soldiers from New York and Pennsylvania fought and died at Gettysburg, Mainers sustained heavy casualties – one in four of the nearly 4,000 Maine soldiers engaged at Gettysburg was killed, wounded, missing or captured. And they fought at the battle's key strategic points, Heiser said.
"This is really a Maine battlefield more than anything else."
Before the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, most Mainers opposed the idea of entering into armed conflict with the South, said Tom Desjardin, a historian for the Maine Bureau of Parks & Lands and the author of several books on the Civil War. Many families along the Maine coast had invested in ships involved in trade with the South, and they knew that war would be disastrous for Maine's merchant fleet.
But when war came, so many Maine men enlisted that the state would contribute a larger number of soldiers in proportion to its population than any other state in the Union.
In all, about 70,000 Maine men were drafted or volunteered – 59 percent of eligible men ages 18 to 45.
"They didn't want the war to happen, but when it started they went in great numbers," Desjardin said.
By 1863, though, many Northerners had grown weary of the war. The Union army in the East had never won a clear victory. Its leaders were no match for the Confederacy's generals, particularly its commander, Robert E. Lee.
In early June, Lee moved his army of 70,000 men northward to invade Pennsylvania, where he hoped that a decisive battle on Union soil would encourage Northerners who opposed the war to push for peace and convince France and Great Britain to recognize the Confederate States of America as an independent nation.
Under their new commander, Maj. Gen. George Meade, the 90,000 men in the Army of the Potomac moved northward to check Lee's advance. The two armies had only a vague idea of each other's position. Meade tried to place his troops between Lee's army and the cities of Baltimore and Washington, while Lee looked for the right ground for a winner-take-all battle that would end the war.
The two great armies bumped into each other near a Pennsylvania town, Gettysburg, population 2,400. Ten roads converged on the town from all directions, as did the two armies.
Over the next three days, 8,000 were left dead on the field, and 4,000 died shortly after from injuries suffered in the battle.

Livermore wrote: "There were as many as 30 or 40 lay dead there of that (regiment). They had laid there 3 days in hot July weather and I wish I never could see another such a sight. It is nothing to see men that have just been killed. But every man was swollen as large as two men and purple and black."

"To get two days in Colorado, where I don't have to answer phones and where I can be the customer – that's a real treat."
"On-Snow is critical to our business. If you don't take the time to get on the equipment, you'll miss something. Proof is on the snow."
"When there is an opportunity to showcase our new gear and go ride with accounts that I don't ride with often, it's just awesome."
"The On-Snow is where research and development culminates and begins anew"
"There is no regional demo that happens with the depth of product that is available at Copper – every deck, every binding and plenty of sizes."
"Going out and testing product is a good way to back up what suppliers tell us. It's really important to believe in what you're selling."
"There is more stuff to see at the On-Snow Demo plus the snow conditions are different. If I just demo the products in the East all the time, I won't know how it works in softer snow."
"Copper is phenomenal! The lines are short so you can get in a lot of runs and having all of the amenities close to the Demo is really good."
"I love how the On-Snow Demo and Nordic Demo are together. I'm totally into it. It is so nice to have it at Copper!"
"The terrain was great for testing, a few hills, some flats. It was really great to be able to compare so much equipment. Definitely worth coming."
For its inaugural year at Copper Mountain, the SIA On-Snow Demo/Ski-Ride Fest hosted a record number of attendees at its new location. Nearly 120 brands exhibited at the Demo, offering hundreds of 2014/15 skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets and accessories for buyers and media to compare side-by-side. Getting out on the snow is something the industry always looks forward to after wrapping up the SIA Snow Show at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
The On-Snow Demo, held in conjunction with the Western Winter Sports Representatives Association (WWSRA) Rocky Mountain Demo, enjoyed ideal conditions and terrain at Copper Mountain with over 200 inches of snow this season and about 35 inches of new snow in the past week.
In conjunction with Cross Country Ski Areas Association (CCSAA), the Nordic Demo, located in Copper's East Village and featured a 5K-loop and well-groomed park for testing. Included with the Nordic Demo were seminars, roundtables and plenty of snow! Products featured: cross country skis, snowshoes, poles, wax, and accessories.
"The terrain was great for testing, a few hills, some flats. It was really great to be able to compare so much equipment side-by-side. Definitely worth coming." - Adam Jonson, Pioneer Mountaineering
Copper Mountain, only 74 miles west of downtown Denver, is home to the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center, the only full-length downhill early-season training facility in the world. It also features Woodward at Copper, the newly renovated indoor/outdoor year-round action sport training facility. Copper Mountain's award-winning, naturally divided trail network provided the ultimate environment for testing the latest gear and on-snow technologies. The village bars and restaurants were great gathering spots for the entire industry – all in one place!
A complete list of 2014 alpine, snowboard and Nordic exhibitors is available here.

The SIA On-Snow Demo is a one-stop shop for retailers who make it to SIA to combine their buying efforts into a single trip." – Johan Malkoski, Sales Manager, C3
"At the Demo, you're always looking to find something that you can really get behind that you feel special about, something that will make your store a little different than somebody else's." – Jeff Proctor, Proctor Ski & Snowboard, Nashua, NH

Insight into the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment
• What are the symptoms of GERD and LPR?
• Who gets GERD or LPR?
• How are GERD and LPR diagnosed and treated?
• and more...
What is GERD?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, often referred to as GERD, occurs when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus. Normally, food travels from the mouth, down through the esophagus and into the stomach. A ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), contracts to keep the acidic contents of the stomach from "refluxing" or coming back up into the esophagus. In those who have GERD, the LES does not close properly, allowing acid and other contents of the digestive tract to move up–to "reflux"–the esophagus.
When stomach acid touches the sensitive tissue lining the esophagus and throat, it causes a reaction similar to squirting lemon juice in your eye. This is why GERD is often characterized by the burning sensation known as heartburn.
In some cases, reflux can be silent, with no heartburn or other symptoms until a problem arises. Almost all individuals have experienced reflux (GER), but the disease (GERD) occurs when reflux happens often over a long period of time.
What is LPR?
What are the symptoms of GERD and LPR?
The symptoms of GERD may include persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea, hoarseness in the morning, or trouble swallowing. Some people have GERD without heartburn. Instead, they experience pain in the chest that can be severe enough to mimic the pain of a heart attack. GERD can also cause a dry cough and bad breath. (Symtoms of LPR were outlined in the last section.)
While GERD and LPR may occur together, patients can also have GERD alone (without LPR) or LPR alone (without GERD). If you experience any symptoms on a regular basis (twice a week or more), then you may have GERD or LPR. For proper diagnosis and treatment, you should be evaluated by your primary care doctor or an otolaryngologist—head and neck surgeon (ENT doctor).
Who gets GERD or LPR?
Women, men, infants, and children can all have GERD or LPR. These disorders may result from physical causes or lifestyle factors. Physical causes can include a malfunctioning or abnormal lower esophageal sphincter muscle (LES), hiatal hernia, abnormal esophageal contractions, and slow emptying of the stomach. Lifestyle factors include diet (chocolate, citrus, fatty foods, spices), destructive habits (overeating, alcohol and tobacco abuse) and even pregnancy. Young children experience GERD and LPR due to the developmental immaturity of both the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. It should also be noted that some patients are just more susceptible to injury from reflux than others. A given amount of refluxed material in one patient may cause very different symptoms in other patients.
Unfortunately, GERD and LPR are often overlooked in infants and children, leading to repeated vomiting, coughing in GERD, and airway and respiratory problems in LPR, such as sore throat and ear infections. Most infants grow out of GERD or LPR by the end of their first year, but the problems that resulted from the GERD or LPR may persist.
What role does an ear, nose, and throat specialist have in treating GERD and LPR?
A gastroenterologist, a specialist in treating gastrointestinal orders, will often provide initial treatment for GERD. But there are ear, nose, and throat problems that are caused by reflux reaching beyond the esophagus, such as hoarseness, laryngeal nodules in singers, croup, airway stenosis (narrowing), swallowing difficulties, throat pain, and sinus infections. These problems require an otolaryngologist—head and neck surgeon, or a specialist who has extensive experience with the tools that diagnose GERD and LPR. They treat many of the complications of GERD and LPR, including: sinus and ear infections, throat and laryngeal inflammation and lesions, as well as a change in the esophageal lining called Barrett's esophagus, a serious complication that can lead to cancer.
Your primary care physician or pediatrician will often refer a case of LPR to an otolaryngologist—head and neck surgeon for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment.
How are GERD and LPR diagnosed and treated?
GERD and LPR can be diagnosed or evaluated by a physical examination and the patient's response to a trial of treatment with medication. Other tests that may be needed include an endoscopic examination (a long tube with a camera inserted into the nose, throat, windpipe, or esophagus), biopsy, x-ray, examination of the esophagus, 24 hour pH probe with or without impedance testing, esophageal motility testing (manometry), and emptying studies of the stomach. Endoscopic examination, biopsy, and x-ray may be performed as an outpatient or in a hospital setting. Endoscopic examinations can often be performed in your ENT's office, or may require some form of sedation and occasionally anesthesia.
Most people with GERD or LPR respond favorably to a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Medications that could be prescribed include antacids, histamine antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, pro-motility drugs, and foam barrier medications. Some of these products are now available over the counter and do not require a prescription.
Children and adults who fail medical treatment or have anatomical abnormalities may require surgical intervention. Such treatment includes fundoplication, a procedure where a part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to tighten the LES, and endoscopy, where hand stitches or a laser are used to make the LES tighter.

On track: Elizabethton officials see opportunity in Johnson City Rails to Trails work1:00 am | June 9, 2013
Going out for a walk might involve a trek to Johnson City and back for some after the Rails to Trails project connecting
Elizabethton and Johnson City is ready for use.
The rails to trails project, unofficially referred to by some as the Tweetsie Trail, will provide a 10-mile walking and biking pathway between the two cities. The trail will follow the old railroad bed of the East Tennessee Railway from Legion Street in Johnson City to the Stateline Drive-in theater on Stateline Road in Elizabethton.
Elizabethton officials believe the trail provides an opportunity to connect with the already existing trail system in Elizabethton to benefit individuals and to expand economic development activities.
"I think it is a great opportunity," said Elizabethton City Manager Jerome Kitchens.
Kitchens said the city would first focus on completing the Linear Path, which will extend from East Side Elementary to Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area when completed. Once the trail is completed, the city will be able to connect it to the rails to trails project at the future traffic light to be installed at Williams Avenue and West Elk Avenue.
There are two unfinished sections of the Linear Path, one to connect from Mill Street to Riverside Park and the other from behind Lowe's to Sycamore Shoals. The funding to complete the Linear Path has been included in this year's budget for the city.
"When it is complete, if someone was on the Linear Path, they could cut over to the Tweetsie Trail," Kitchens said.
Thursday night, the Johnson City Commission approved a $40,000 proposal from Tysinger, Hampton & Partners for construction drawings and design plans for seven bridges along the pathway. One of those bridges is located in the city limits.
Johnson City City Manager Pete Peterson said Johnson City was forming a task force to oversee the rails-to-trails project, which would include a member from Elizabethton. He said the rail company had until July to remove all the railroad ties, rails and have street crossings repaired and would then turn the property over to Johnson City.
Once the design plans are complete, Johnson City will be able to put the trail project out to bid.
"The first thing we want to do is get it safe," Peterson said. "Once we have the safety issues addressed, people will be able to use the trail."
The trail would start with the basics. It would be a gravel path and would be completed in phases, starting in Johnson City. After the trail is opening, Johnson City will then start looking at adding the extra amenities along the trail, like landscaping and rest areas.
Peterson said the inspection and design phase would take two to three months and would need to be completed before construction could begin. Construction is expected to last several months.
"It could be this time next year before the trail is open to the public," Peterson said.
Once the trail is completed, Elizabethton leaders believe the pathway will bring a positive impact to the city.

EL PASO, Texas — The trucks here crossing the border from Juarez, Mexico, with "Project 21" decals are cleared by U.S. and Mexican customs agents faster than those trucks without the sticker, allowing drivers to get their goods from Mexican factories to U.S. customers faster.
Trucking Logistics
Trucking is the dominant mode of domestic freight transportation in the United States. It is divided between for-hire trucking, composed of long-haul and regional truckload carriers and less-than-truckload carriers, and private, shipper-owned fleets. Smaller, niche operators include drayage truckers that haul intermodal containers from rail yards and seaports, and flatbed companies that handle heavy freight.

Forging new directions in physics education in Australian Universities: Report
Forging new directions in physics education in Australian Universities
The website consists mainly of components of the final project report and some derived resources that address three priorities: service teaching, laboratory work and employment of physics graduates. These form the three strands of the project.
The report on a survey of service teaching identifies three models of service teaching and outlines differences between student expectations and experiences of service-taught units. The survey found that students' experiences are significantly at variance with their expectations. The outcomes provide very strong evidence that university service teaching physics needs to be examined and reformed. Examples of units where students' experiences matched their expectations are described in Appendix 3 of the final report.
There is also a self-efficacy survey which would be of use in unit reviews.
The strand on laboratory work for physics students consists mostly of reports on workshop meetings, from which many issues were raised but few solutions proposed. The most tangible and immediate outcome of this strand is the depository of physics higher year laboratory experiments in use in Australian universities. This resource provides experiment titles, brief outline and the contact details of their designers/authors. It could prove very valuable in the sharing of and, if engaged with critically, improving of laboratory work.
The report on graduates in the workforce outlines graduates' employment types and graduates' preparedness for work in terms of knowledge and generic attributes. The report will be of interest to physics program managers. A separate document, outlining employment destinations of physics graduates, could be used to motivate or inform potential or current physics students.

– Jessica, Sparks
Dear Jessica: You are very wise to check into buying a home, especially in light of your years of frustrations from being a renter. Buying a home is always a good investment if you plan to stay in the area for the next five years. In fact, it is the best investment most families will ever make. It is safer than the stock market and a long-term investment with some historically great returns. Here are some answers to a few commonly asked questions about buying a home and why now is a perfect time to buy for renters and investors.
Q: Should I wait until home prices go even lower to buy?
A: No; just as no one can accurately predict the peaks and valleys of the stock market, the same holds true for housing. If you wait for what you think is the absolute best deal, you could end up waiting for years. All the market fundamentals show that now is the best time to buy. Home prices are at the lowest interest rates, near a historic low, and there are plenty of homes to choose from.
Q: Interest rates keep going down. Should I wait for rates to drop even lower before I buy?
A: Interest rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage are currently below 5 percent. This is extremely favorable for buyers, but waiting to time the market is a dangerous game. Even those who follow the market for a living cannot predict when interest rates will bottom out. If they could, they would all be multi-millionaires.
Home prices don't necessarily move in unison with interest rates. So, if you decide to wait to purchase a home and the price dropped $10,000 from where it is today, you could still end up losing money. How? If interest rates were to move up by half-a-point during the period, the savings on the reduced home price would be more than offset by the higher monthly payment you would be making over the life of the loan.
Q: I am a first-time homebuyer and still can't afford the type of home that I want. Is it best to wait, keep renting and hope that prices will drop even more?
A: If you continue to wait, you might never be able to afford to get into the housing market. Even as home prices are currently moderating or falling, rents continue to climb. When you buy a home, you are also purchasing price stability, knowing that you will pay the same monthly payment for the life of your 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.
Once you become a homeowner, you will be able to take advantage of the tax deductions that homeownership offers, and you begin to build equity in your home.
With so many homes on the market to choose from, your best strategy may be to scale back your expectations for your dream starter-home. After a few years, you can sell your starter home.
Your equity gains will help you get into a move-up home. The sooner you make the jump from a renter to a homeowner, the quicker you begin to create and build up wealth for your family.
If you're like Jessica and have more questions than answers about buying, you're in luck. From 6 to 8 p.m on July 28, a panel of real estate professionals (including myself) is holding a seminar that will cover the issues that first-time buyers, move-up buyers and investors ask about most, such as short sale versus foreclosure, how to qualify for a home loan, available loan programs, a listing of available homes in our area with price ranges and an overview of the current market. You'll also have a chance to get all your buying questions answered. RSVP for the seminar by calling 351-5117.
Annie Christian is a real estate broker and owner of The Annie Christian Real Estate Group. She helps with everything from buying and selling to foreclosure and short sale. To submit a question, call 351-5117. Her website is www.anniechristian.com.

I have just uploaded the first cut of my mini-project 'XPath Studio'. This project is a small site that lets you choose a URL to a source webpage, and run any XPath query against it – showing the data that is returned from the query.
At the moment this blog has an issue with images so I cannot upload screenshots, but in the next few days they'll be there. Until then, you can try out XPath Studio by visiting:
The project is ASP .NET MVC 4, with Razor. I've stripped out the bulk of the styling that's provided by default, and layed it out with Twitter Bootstrap.
This is the first time that I've used Bootstrap and already have decided that it'll be my first choice for web applications, at least those in the proof of concept phase. The library is lightweight, easy to use, clean and simple.
More updates on XPath Studio will come over the next few days, as I tweak the core functionality based on feedback.

This series ran a total of one hundred fifty six episodes. The shorts were originally broadcast in groups of four, making a total of 39 half-hour episodes. Each short had its own open and closing theme, so the shorts could be split off and shown individually in syndication.
This series was a cartoon version of the slapstick adventures of Laurel and Hardy, in the spirit of the original black & white live-action shorts.
Larry Harmon, the man who made Bozo the Clown a household name, had acquired the rights to the likenesses of the famous comedy duo from Stan and Eda Laurel, and Oliver Hardy's widow, Lucille, in 1961. (A large part of the profits from the cartoon series would eventually go to Stan Laurel's widow Eda.) Harmon's company, which had previously produced the Bozo animated cartoons and many of the made-for-TV Popeye cartoons under contract from King Features, began animating The Laurel and Hardy Comedy Show around the same time that producer David L. Wolper contracted with Hanna-Barbera to produce another series, following Laurel's death. A legal challenge followed, with Wolper and Harmon agreeing on a modus vivendi ( a state of affairs where two opposing parties agree to differ), wherein Harmon gave permission to use the characters in exchange for distribution rights. Harmon himself supplied the voice of Stan Laurel (1895-1965), with Jim Mac George voicing the rotund Oliver Hardy (1892-1957).

Carolina Inching Closer To New Video Board For Williams-Brice Stadium
June 9th, 2011 02:37 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: South Carolina
Tags: Eddie Floyd, Maybe Floyd, Williams Brice, Williams Brice Stadium
GamecockCentral.com – the Rivals site covering South Carolina athletics — reports today that USC's board of trustees will be asked on June 17th to give an initial okay to a $6.5 million video board project for Williams-Brice Stadium. Athletic director Eric Hyman told the site that the project is designed with Cock fans in mind:
"In the time I've been here, the video board is something the fans have expressed a lot of desire to have. This is a way we can give back to them and tell them thank you for their support. …
You never assume anything, but I think the board members are very receptive to going forward with the project."
A battle over the video board could be brewing however. Board member Eddie Floyd — whose name is on the Kay and Eddie Floyd Football Building which houses the football offices — is reportedly taking a firm stand with regards to spending on the project. Could that be because the current video board at Williams-Brice is attached to his building and is considerably smaller than the proposed new board? Maybe Floyd doesn't want his own gift to Carolina covered up by an even bigger toy.
The athletic department's goal is to complete the video board project in time for the 2013 football season.
Stay tuned.

Why Immigration Reform Is a Big Senior Issue
The economic recovery will reveal shortages of senior caregivers; immigrants could close the gap.
With Social Security and Medicare programs facing deficit-cutting proposals in the new Congress, seniors and their advocacy groups already have big issues on their plates. Yet a good case can be made that immigration reform is another emerging issue for millions of seniors who need care. The shifting outlook has several components: rising demand for care due to a growing elderly population, a sustained effort to provide elder care in homes rather than institutions, a shrinking workforce of Americans, and an economic recovery that will eventually reduce the supply of family members available to provide unpaid care.
Historically, many paid caregiving jobs have been filled by immigrants. Immigrants who are physicians and other skilled medical workers are particularly important in rural and underserved U.S. markets. The demand for less skilled in-home care aides also has been filled in part by immigrants, although precise data could not be obtained. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not ask immigration status in its research, and does not track caregivers as a separate job category.
[Read: Will Healthcare Hurt Boomers' Retirement?]
Julie Northcutt, CEO of Caregiverlist.com, notes that home-care agencies, nursing homes, and other senior care providers may only hire legal residents and should be screening all work applicants. "In senior caregiving, because of the insurance coverages you must have and the licensing requirements, companies only hire people who are verified as legal to work," says Northcutt, whose company provides seniors with care information and access to paid care resources.
Since 2008, she notes, the caregiving industry has grown 40 percent, adding more than 2,000 caregiving locations throughout the country, including 1,250 franchised outlets. Healthcare companies have moved into caregiving as well, a trend she expects to accelerate because of Obamacare. "With accountability becoming a factor in the new healthcare law, the hospitals are going to want to be more connected to what happens to a patient after discharge," she says, "which means more professionally managed senior home care."
In recent years, the number of new immigrants has declined. The tough economy has reduced demand to find work in the United States, and stiffer enforcement of immigration laws has further reduced the flow of illegal immigrants. As more older people require care and the economy continues recovering, it will become harder to find even low-skilled people to provide in-home care.
[Read: How to Develop Effective End-of-Life Plans.]
The recovery will also enable unemployed family caregivers to return to work, and the demand for paid caregivers will rise. In-home care has continued to be far cheaper than costs for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and even part-day adult day care. Still, the cost of in-home care last spring averaged $18 to $19 an hour, with wide price variations, according to Genworth Financial's 2012 Cost of Care survey. The caregiving industry says its average pay is closer to $10 to $12 an hour. The gap consists of fees to caregiving firms and higher pay rates to skilled caregivers, who often work for healthcare providers and not caregiving agencies.
Worker shortages loom. "Our real problem is going to be finding enough people to fill the jobs we have, and not the other way around," says Barry Bluestone, a labor expert at Northeastern University in Boston who heads the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy. Bluestone has researched the future employment landscape for seniors, and is doing research now on healthcare employment trends.
Controlling runaway costs and handling the exploding demand for healthcare from an aging society, Bluestone says, will require nothing less than reinventing the healthcare delivery system. This will require new skills and create many new jobs. "Some of those are going to be people who become quite adept at electronic [medical] records," he says. "We will have patient advocates who will help people navigate the system more effectively. There will be more non-professionals who, for example, will help patients to take their medications. So there will be all kinds of patient coaches, and patient advocates, and patient partners."
[Read: Don't Make These 3 Retirement Mistakes.]
The good news for seniors, Bluestone says, is that many of them will be able to fill these new health jobs. But even with more older people staying in the workforce, he projects substantial future labor shortages as the economy recovers. The main reason is demographics—the big baby boomer generation is being succeeded by the much smaller "baby bust" generation.
As a cautionary tale, Bluestone points to Japan as a society that does not encourage immigration and is aging at an even faster rate than the United States. "They have enormous costs of retirees that they don't know how they're going to meet," he says. "They also don't have replacements for their workers." He says the lack of immigrants in Japan has contributed to "a permanent recession for 20 years."

Cost of Diabetes is Rising and Set to ExplodePosted: Monday, March 18, 2013
A new report for 2012 shows the total cost of diabetes in the U.S. has risen to 245 billion dollars and is expected to continue to grow due to the 75 million with pre-diabetes. This cost includes 176 billion dollars in direct medical costs covering hospital, emergency care, medications, and office visits. The 69 billion dollar remainder includes indirect costs such as decreased productivity, unemployment from a diabetes-related disability, or lost productivity due to early death.
Dr. Robert Ratner, chief scientific and medical officer at the American Diabetes Association, states "It is important to note that while treating diabetes is expensive, it is the fact that the prevalence of the disease is increasing dramatically." Recent reports show that by 2050, one in three American adults will be diagnosed with diabetes. Ratner explains, "The cost of diabetes is rising at a rate higher than overall medical costs, with more than one in 10 health care dollars in the country being spent directly on diabetes and its complications, and more than one in five health care dollars in the U.S. going to the care of people with diagnosed diabetes." Twelve percent of medical costs in both 2007 and 2012 are from medications and supplies.
Other findings about the cost of diabetes include:
In the future, the cost of diabetes in the U.S. will continue to rise as the number of people with diabetes grows. But even more important is the fact that those with diabetes will have a poorer quality of life. The good news in all of this is that it is preventable.

How to whiten teeth at home | Tooth Whitening Methods
In an age where physical appearance is of utmost importance, it is not surprising that many people around the world are actively seeking ways to improve their appearance, whether for professional reasons private.
One of the most sought after procedures to improve appearance is other than money teeth, which became popular in Hollywood during the early nineties. At that time, only the rich could afford such indulgences, but with the surging demand, many companies saw the opportunity to respond to the average person who wants perfection, and thus created the quality low cost whitening kits.
Most of these kits have revolved around the idea of using a whitening gel that is applied to the teeth for two hours every day. The whitening gel, whose main component is hydrogen peroxide, then oxidize the stain extrinsic. It is important to note that an intrinsic stain, caused by a traumatisme''''ne can not be cured this way.
Today, the écouvillon''''technique is fashionable. Using a cotton swab that contains a special liquid formula, and a powder whitening teeth, it is possible by performing a two minutes a day to get your teeth looking immaculate.
This certainly a link with the growing belief among experts impartial dental whitening teeth that will and must become as normal and as time effective as brushing teeth or shampoo hair.
Of course, to get the best and most perfect white teeth, it is essential that they are also adequately supported. Here are some tips that everyone can use.
– Although it is fairly clear, brushing teeth after every meal significant with a fluoride toothpaste is a basic necessity. Removing plaque and tartar buildup and strengthening of the enamel is a necessity. In addition, make sure also that the bristles on your toothbrush are in good conditon. It is recommended by dental experts electric toothbrushes remove 80% more plaque than ordinary ones.
– Reduce the consumption of coffee, tea and red wine. These drinks are extrinsic inducing and can better be served by drinking water or milk.
– Eat plenty of citrus fruit base containing Vitamin C, a natural bleach.
– Eat strawberries crushed that contain malic acid, another bleaching agent.
Of course, there is always the possibility of use of dental procedures. While this work is to some extent, the price does not justify the procedures.
For a dentist to whiten your teeth, they will generally use one of two procedures; composite resin veneers or bonding.
Composite resin bonding effects are mediated by particles Foreign tooth teeth desired through microscopic grooves caused by a weak acid. Usually, before the tooth is reduced to make room for new particles. After bonding, the new teeth are smoothed and polished off.
Clear association occurs when a piece of porcelain is placed on the tooth. They are stronger than the particles of the tooth and usually last up to four years

I followed your point2point Xbee tutorial, but when I perform a range test in X-CTU or (type into terminal), I am getting bad data. I am using two Xbee Pro XSC modules with the Adafruit Adapter kits. Right now, I have one Xbee connected to my laptop through an FTDI cable and I have the other Xbee connected to an Arduino Uno R3, which is connected through the Arduino USB cable. When I perform the range test, both green leds blink, but no activity from the red leds. It's like both of the Xbees are acting as transmitters and not one is receiving. Below are my specs.

besides reading few negative comments i bought it. first of all its WAHL...worlds most used trimmer or clipper brand...many complain about rusting of blades and quality of product...let me explain...this is a top notch trimmer, well built and even this product has reputation all over the world...one will find the attachments fragile and can easily be broken but they are not..... they are flexible and wont break easily... the quality of materials is great...no complaints....and every trimmer needs to be taken care of occasionally i mean... cleaning, oiling, covering of blades etc. so without reading instructions and throwing it away for looong time....definitely creates a problem.....so i would strongly recommend reading instructions.. so this is absolutely a good trimmer and you can trim, shape and maintain your beard in different styles perfectly...trust me ...this is not a professional trimmer so the attachments given in the box are more than enough for doing it yourself without a hassle..the blades are self sharpening and trims with precision....this is easy to hold in hand, grips well and reaches almost every area on the face cuz this is slim and the blade assembly is small...and when you are not satisfied then you have to find a hair salon nearby...peace....:-)
Took this instead of Phillips QT4001 and an Andis trimmer.
First Impressions: This machine is NOT meant for a normal everyday user, more of something a BARBER might use. This an OK product but I think I might have gone for the Phillips one.
Packaging: I am talking about the packaging by Wahl. Its very very stiff. A little too much, took me quite a while to open it actually. The components are as mentioned. nothing much to say there.
User Manual: Not really great instructions. Not user friendly in these terms. No clue about all the attachments that have come along with the product. They expect you to know everything.
Look and feel: Contrary to what I was expecting a premium feel. This thing DOES NOT LOOK PREMIUM in any way. Yes It is made up of metal but it looks like those CHEAP CHINA made products. Not really well built I would say. The attachment as well are average looking. And the so called pouch is bad. But for the price that I paid I really don't regret it (Rs. 500).
Sound: LOUD. I have used a few others and this thing is LOUD.
Heat: Does heat up. But not so much.
Usage: This is the place where it works well. Has good blades. They are Sharp and work well. Its fast and does the job well. Does heat up a little but not a problem there.
Battery: This is where it rolls! I must say this Definitely very Good battery. I have used it so so many times for quite a long time and only after 15 days is when I charged this thing!
Overall an average product. DOES not LOOK OR FEEL PREMIUM IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. More of A BARBER friendly product. Makes a lot of sound.
Has a good battery and works well.
Just wanted to share with you all my experience. Its a very high end quality product delivered without any damage. Complete warranty (inside the package). Works flawlessly. Has so many edges to trim your beard in different ways. Great product at a good price. :) thanks Flipkart ! :)
Very new purchase and still to be seen how long term performance stacks up, previously have had 2x Wahl trimmers one lasted 4 years before dying (standard battery model) and was ok but not the most efficient trimmer, 2nd was a similar rechargeable model purchased in the US, which unfortunately died not long after purchase. Hence this purchase - We wait to see how it continues to work post several recharges.
Functionally very good and quick for trimming, multitude of different attachments, most of which I will never use.
One slightly odd feature that I do like is that the "Silvery finish" Reflects light up onto the underside of the chin which does make it easier to see progress.
Rating is tempered by the fact that I have had bad experience with Wahl rechargeable trimmers previously and it is still too early to appraise long term battery performance.
Flipkart Delivery was and is always wonderful.
Perfectly packed and delivered promptly.
Product Review.
- Wahl is the leader in Trimmer products
- Very Good Product
- Very easy and convenient to use
- Battery Charge is very good
- Comes with good attachments and a Pouch
- Looks very Classy
- Very convenient to hold ( Nice Design )
- The Blades are very Good
- Easy to Design and shape Beard
Only thing i feel is that it is a bit noisy. ( Not a lot only a little )
For the price This is way too much of a Good Product. Very Very Worthy Purchase.
Took this instead of Phillips QT4001 and an Andis trimmer.
First Impressions: This machine is NOT meant for a norm...
Have used it thrice so far and the results have been quite satisfying..

Blades are good...

I would imagine Saban is giving thought to getting out of this circus act by now. If he can't control the booster there he is doomed anyway. It is curious that Albetar will not talk to the media, it's him that's being painted as the evil party and his business could be affected by this I would be screaming I'm innocent if in fact I was. He knows he can't lie about his pics. Some of it does look bad like Richardson posing for what appear to be proof photos for a buyer that he is actually wearing the gloves and signing stuff himself. A memorablilia site on the web was selling the same jerseys claiming to be signed on the same day.
Frankly after what we have seen from the photos to claim the bama players didn't know what was going on is an insult to their intelligence.

Tecnifibre Team ATP Back Pack Bag Customer feedback
|Contribute Your Feedback
|Click the button below or email firstname.lastname@example.com to contribute your experiences with this product. Although not necessary, it's interesting to have a first name, city, state and country (no email addresses will be used). Any information submitted becomes the property of Tennis Warehouse.
Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: The 9 pack bag is well made, well designed and a great looking bag. Bought this in spite that it doesn't
have thermoguard heat protection, but everything else is first class. First, it looks great with high quality materials and soft padding
and well designed backstraps. Even have a strap to go around your body for extra stability. I have put all 3 of my racquets into the
smaller compartment (designed for racquets). I suppose you could squeeze in another one but it would protrude into the other larger
compartment. In the larger compartment, I have several towels, first aid bag, sunscreen and other accessories. Also, a couple of
shirts, sweat pants and a pair of sandals. The bag has two smaller end compartments, one is vented. TW says both are shoe
compartments but Tecnifibre on their site says one is for shoes (vented one) and other non-vented one is for tennis balls, water
bottles, etc. Regardless, lots of options depending on personal needs. I put 2 water bottles and a bag with several energy bars and a
banana or two in one end and 12 opened practice balls and 2 new cans of balls into other end. These 2 end compartments go into
the large compartment so more you put in end compartments, less in main compartments. The thing about tennis bags is you do
have options. Takes some experimentation. There is one small front accessory compartment that I use for a note pad, my cell phone
and keys and ID info. And finally, this bag is 85% PVC free which is important to me and Tecnifibre along with Wilson are by far the
most thorough and quickest tennis companies to respond to my inquires. Others took up to 4 days or never responded. Hope this
lenghty review is helpful.
