As we mentioned last time, there's power and then there's power. One's a measure of hits, runs, and wins and such; and the other's a measure of, well, anything and everything else.
Care to guess which kind we're addressing now?
Here, then, are the Page 2 MLB Power Rankings, Midsummer Classic edition.
1. Tampa Bay Devil Rays (28-61)
Lou's start-the-closer plan is positively Veeckian in its odd, ticket-selling genius. We pray he has the stones, or the lapsing synapses, to actually give it a go coming out of the break.
2. Boston Red Sox (49-38)
The Yanks have to call a secret special meeting between the "Florida Camp" and the "New York Camp" just to generate a pulse these days. Meanwhile, the Red Sox stir up some high-quality internal conflict and genuine baseball-strategy debate among the faithful and the average fan alike just by weaning a guy off the DL.
3. St. Louis Cardinals (56-32)
We were impressed with the way Chris Carpenter began the season. Anyone who comes back strong off an injury deserves much respect. But the way he's been going lately, the way he's been just toying with hitters, stealing their candy, calling them names, pantsing them right out there in front of everyone, we¹re starting to think maybe respect isn't quite enough. We're starting to think maybe we should fear this guy and his shy grin; you know, the way moms, pops, and the grandparents feared little Timmy Cornfield once upon a time
4. Anaheim Angels (52-36)
Imagine how good they might be if they'd give up the Los Angeles charade. Seriously, they're killing themselves with this thing. The us-against-the-world Anaheim frenzy was a huge part of their run in 2002. This year, as they approach the clubhouse turn, they're backed by ambivalence and hurt feelings. Nice call. I see Rally Monkeys hanging from nooses. I hear Thunder Stix beating out "Taps."
5. Washington Nationals (52-36)
Short list of the least likely superstars of 2005:
No. 5: Derrek Lee
No. 4: Brian Roberts
No. 3: Jon Garland
No. 2: Sandra Day O'Connor
No. 1: Chad Cordero (and it isn't even close)
6. Atlanta Braves (50-39)
Why aren't people digging deeper into this Julio Franco situation? Shouldn't there be a team of scientists diagnosing his DNA? Shouldn't someone be inquiring about his diet? Is this one of those Willard Scott old lady situations, when Franco eats a bowl of apple sauce and chews a strip of jerky every morning and lives to be 103? Why are there no groups of hobbled, gnarled seniors, disillusioned with Benny Hinn's snake oil, lined up outside the Braves' clubhouse hoping for an exercise tip or a laying on of hands?
7. Houston Astros (44-43)
What are the odds on the Astros to win it all right now? 100-1 maybe? Make the bet. Take 10 dollars out of your pocket right now and walk over to the window. Don't hurry. Don't smile. Don't whistle. Don't do anything that might call attention to you. Just make the bet.
8. Oakland Athletics (44-43)
Yes, maybe we're a little too charmed here by the fact that Chavez can only get better, Crosby is coming on, Harden is coming back, and Blanton, Haren, Street and Duchscherer are figuring things out at what seems to be a simultaneous rate. But don't mind us, we're really just running a little experiment. We want to know: If we put the A's in the top 10, does Joe Morgan's head blow clean off his shoulders? Or is it more of a seething, bilious meltdown effect?

Yeah, and a heck of a way to tank the city's credit rating, too.
This is very similar to what we do in San Francisco. Loan sharks are a big problem in blighted neighborhoods, so in the last year the city treasurer started a program called "Bank on San Francisco," in which SF partners with several major banks to offer checking accounts and financial training to people who previously didn't know how to access such services, or were considered too high-risk.
i sympathize with the grander issues of inequity that this brings up, but as someone with lots of friends who don't make much money and who use these payday loans, making it easier to borrow against your paycheck would only fuel bigger bar tabs. The key isn't a program to make it easier to spend money you don't have. They key is to help people make more money (maybe tax payday loans and use the revenue to fund scholarships, for example). And to educate people how to spend wisely (free credit counseling provided by the city or a non-profit?). That would be a better strategy than to get into the banking business.
10%? There's a reason these rates are so high and the reason is that these are high-risk loans which are often defaulted on by people with poor credit records.
You start putting eligibility requirments on these loans and you'll find that many won't pass, which is exactly why they're pay 400% interest and not using credit cards or lower interest loans.
So you start up a city program, all those with not-horrible credit that don't really need the city program flood in and take the 10% loans (instead of paying 16% on credit cards) and you still have a population of people with poor credit that need loans. And where do they turn then, illegal loansharks that charge 800% and break your fingers when you don't pay (rather than the legal ones that charge 400%).
Teaching people how to budget and overall money management would be a great use of city funds and help a lot of people who are struggling. Most people, rich or poor, don't know really know how to manage their money and think they have to be "rich" to even think about it. (Example: Who buys fancy coffee drinks? Working poor and students. Who drinks black coffee or even instant coffee? Wealthy people or people who have a plan their money. Every little bit helps.)
Even people of modest or even low-income can save money if they are taught how to manage it and stick with it.
Also, microlending has worked in other places and might be able to work here. There's one organization that does that I believe called Washington CASH: www.washingtoncash.org I wonder how that's working out.
Seeing as how credit card companies typically charge more than this to creditworthy folks, I think a realistic rate should be considerably higher than that.
Brilliant Idea,
The elgibility requirement would be tailored to block those who aren't truly in need. In other words, it's the poor with bad credit who would qualify ... not those who aren't in dire straits.
Nice article on Griffin, the black dude fronting for the payday loan companies.
But that's not the real story here. The reason legislation imposing caps on payday loans likely won't be heard in the state Senate--yet again--is Senator Margarita Prentice, who fronts for payday lenders and doesn't even get paid by them, unlike Griffin.
Meanwhile, she couches her support for the Sonics as being concern for jobs and working class people. But hey, she speaks Spanish to the wait staff, as the Seattle Weekly breathlessly reports, so she must be great, right?
There already are programs to teach money management to people who need it, and they are wildly oversubscribed. There's a ton of demand and no funding for it. These kinds of programs cost a lot of money to administer, and the money isn't there.
I also wonder whether the city is hard-hearted enough to get into the collection business. We already know that scofflaws who don't pay their parking tickets can basically get away free forever; how are we going to go after people who cheat this new system?
The eligibility standards you mention, Josh, are also going to be extremely difficult to navigate. Need for paycheck cashing isn't strictly in line with income; some very poor people can live without it, while others with more income but a more casual approach to their finances are absolutely dependent.
A program like this is going to work counter to any financial management training, since anything that makes it easier to rely on services to cash your checks is going to result in more people relying on services to cash their checks. It's just human nature.
I think it's an idea worth exploring, and I would support it if they can make it work, but I've seen how the city doles out services now, and I have little faith that they can keep this from becoming a boondoggle. It would probably be cheaper to just hand out $100 bills to all comers.
Meanwhile, she couches her support for the Sonics as being concern for jobs and working class people
And she actually compared it to the New Deal, specifically the WPA. Of course, everyone knows that a program that provided jobs to struggling artists, writers, and actors and offered up high quality, cutting-edge art and theatre to those who couldn't otherwise afford it is exactly the same thing as corporate welfare for multimillionaires.
Why is it that liberals (particularly drunk liberals) think that businesses would give their customers a better deal if only the government ran them? Is there a different DMV and post office for liberals? Did they see a different soviet block that I did?
If the default rate of these customers really only required a 10%/a rate to cover costs, then a competitor could enter the field and charge 300%/a instead of 400%/a and get all the customers. Their competitors would have to either give up or offer their customers a better deal. This process continues until rates are close to those actually justified by default rates.
I can only think of two ways this process wouldn't operate. (1) These customers don't care about rates. In that case a lower government rate won't attract them. (2) The current competitors are colluding to set prices. In that case, we need an anti-trust investigation, not nationalization.
George Griffin has some uber sketchy history. There is a reason he isn't with city govt anymore, a reason he left Gogerty, and a reason why he is willing to have Moneytree as client.
I love how everyone who does not need a payday loan company knows why everyone else needs one. Really, do you think someone likes paying 400%, or even should? This is the poor being taken advantage of in a way that should not be allowed. So Government backs a loan, just like a student on SBA. This is not rocket science, it just helps someone other than the more fortunate like ourselves.
I don't think you need a whole new government program.
These Payday loan places fill a need. Some people just aren't all that good with their money. They don't make much. And sometimes the money runs out before the next paycheck comes in. Sure, it isn't good planning, but it isn't a federal crime. When I was young and on my first job out of high school, I had to borrow money from friends or my parents a few times to make ends meet. I was lucky enough to have friends and parents willing/able to loan me a few bucks. Not everyone is as lucky. Thus, payday loan (sharks).
The problem isn't the existence of Payday loans. The problem is the exorbitant fees they charge.
The solution isn't to shut them down and replace them with a government run program (which I can only envision as a colossal clusterfuck). Why outlaw a business model that works and serves a need, only to replace it with a government program that probably will do neither?
The solution is to more strictly regulate the already existing payday loan places.
There are already usury laws in place. The whole point of usury laws is to prevent lenders from praying on people who either don't understand the dangers of high interest, or are so desperate for the cash that they don't care. But usury laws only cover interest charged on loans (and credit cards). The payday loan places skirt around the usury laws by charging a raft of processing fees in addition to interest. They make much more money off of fees than they do off of interest. So the easy thing to do would be to broaden the usury laws to cover fees as well as just interest. Put some kind of limit on fees they can charge.
Yes, people who take out payday loans are probably a really bad credit risk, and I'm sure the default rates are much higher than loan defaults at Washington Mutual. So allowances should be made for that, and they should be allowed to charge considerably more than for conventional bank loans. But surely they can stay in business without gouging poor people for 400%. That's just fucking wrong, no matter how you look at it.
That's right strangerdanger (#13), the poor are too stupid to be trusted to make their own decisions when it comes to borrowing and spending money. Smarter and wealthier people should decide for them not only when and how they can borrow money, but how they can spend it. This could easily be done by the state issuing ration books based on income and real assets for the purchase of luxury goods like cigarettes, beer, movie tickets, clothing, luxury foods and automobiles, or leasing mid to high cost apartments. The provision of these items to individuals without adequate rations in their book would be a criminal offense. We did this (with different eligibility criteria) to everyone's discretionary spending during WWII. Just think, if we could outlaw poor people from spending money they don't have on things they don't need, then they wouldn't even want payday loans.
Interesting that the conservatives automatically assume anyone requiring the services of these companies MUST be blowing wads of non-discretionary income on booze, hookers, and the like.
The reality, however, is that, while undoubtedly there are SOME people doing this, most are scraping to save every nickel and penny they can out of their meagre paychecks, NOT spending extra $$ they don't have on non-essentials, and STILL coming up short at the end of the month.
The REAL solution to this dilemma is quite simple: pay people a wage they can actually live on from one month to the next, without having to go into debt by "borrowing from Peter to pay Paul." Any salary that can't cover at least the basics: food, clothing, shelter, and some sort of rudimentary health care ISN'T a living wage. And that's what these people need more than anything.
Hey, MOST people blow their paychecks on non-essentials, not just poor people.
Sure many poor people scrimp and save, (I know my family did when they were getting started), but often times, not being able to make ends meet sometimes has to do with bad money skills. And it's not conservative to say so. Poor people, rich people, they both blow money on non-essentials like potato chips, lattes, electronics, brand name clothes, parties, shoes, etc. and know the price of their favorite type of car, but not how to save their money.
I agree that the minimum wage should be raised, but not for the reasons you state. Most Americans spend what they earn (or more), no matter how much they make. Even if a person makes 150,000 a year, chances are they are blowing it on boats, vacations, club dues, fundraising dinners, clothes, etc.
The point is, people are people and poor people are not angels and rich people are not villians.
Of course we need to redistribute wealth in this country, but that's a whole other discussion.
That's a rather confusing rationalization; for one thing, I fully acknowledged that SOME poor people probably DO waste their money on non-essentials. But, every item you mentioned that RICH PEOPLE also spend their money on ARE non-essentials. Sure, both groups exhibit poor financial-management skills, but those rich folks aren't making a choice between paying the rent or paying the grocery bill; they're doing both - and more - PLUS paying the yacht loan. Really, you shouldn't feel sorry for them, because frankly, they don't sit around feeling sorry for themselves.
The people we're talking about here are the ones who DON'T waste their hard-earned income on non-essential luxuries, even potato chips. They simply cannot survive on what they earn working 40 (or more) hours per week, and thus are forced to borrow against any future opportunity to get ahead, simply to stay afloat THIS MONTH.
And that's wrong, no matter how you slice it.
This, like all social problems, runs deep.
I graduated from high school in an area that had a graduation rate of only 60%. (This wasn't in Washington, BTW.) Despite the fact that kids were dropping out and lived in abject poverty, the school district still forced high schoolers to take Trigonometry and other advanced mathematics courses. These kids would have been much better served by being offered basic "living math" courses. Courses that taught them how to calculate interest, how to balance a checkbook and so forth. Instead, these kids were forced to learn concepts that they'd realistically never use in their minimum-wage jobs at the Mini-Mart or at K-Mart. And since they had no one to teach them what money management is all about (Because no one ever taught their welfare-addicted parents,) they get caught in the same miserable financial cycles. Education. That's where the solution starts.
Josh -
So why should poor people with bad credit pay lower interest rates than poor people (or middle class people) who have been careful to manage their credit and are paying 12% or 16% on a credit. Brilliant message on the part of the government - take care of your credit and you'll pay, screw it up and we'll take care of you!
I prefer to think of it as "can't make enough at your 40 hour a week job to feed your family? We'll give you a teensy little break." If YOUR bank, or your auto dealer, or YOUR mortgage lender charged YOU 400% interest why, you'd call it a "national scandal", and clammor for something to be done. But when the same thing is done to poor people - feh, it's all their fault.
As others have said ad nauseum being poor isn't a crime - so why do we insist on treating ALL poor people like they're criminals? It is neither (despite what many people think) a failure of character or morality either. Most poor people don't choose to be poor, and if given an alternative most would take it in a New York minute.
I don't see any harm, either to society or to the poor themselves, in providing those that are hard-working, dilligent, but still unable to meet their most basic survival needs with some alternative to the predatory usury of people like Bassford & Griffin. That seems like the humane thing to do, IMO.
Comte -
For all this talk of "poor people", most of these pay-day loans are actually going to lower-middle-class people. And there are certainly lower-middle-class people that have credit cards, mortgages, auto loans.
So yes, there are people with poor people than this. Putting the money icredit through no fault of their own (medical problems, losing their jobs), but on the whole I believe if you look at people taking out pay-day loans and compare to their neighbors, you'll find the pay-day loan people have poorer financial skills. So a program like the one proposed is essentially rewarding those with the worst financial skills and the least likely to pay the loans back.
There are a lot smarter ways to help people. Putting money into Head Start, public schools, loans for low-income kids to go to college, job training programs, helping poor working parents with day care, etc. All of these reward people for taking positive steps and will have a much higher pay-off.
I agree those are all worthy programs deserving of support. But, why does it have to be an either/or proposition?
How do you define "lower middle-class"?
According to Wikipedia, he median income for a household in King County is currently around $53K ($63K for a family of four), which means I who have a reasonably comfortable salary well below that figure could be considered "LMC"; I'm guessing a lot of other people who don't otherwise think of themselves as being in the lower income bracket would be pretty surprised to learn that they too are considered such. But, really, we're not talking about people like me - or them.
Based on the standard definition of "poor" (i.e. those lacking a liveable-wage income), as used by the U.S. Dept. of Labor, (more specifically defined as "those living in households where the total income is less than 200% of the current Absolute Poverty Rate, or about $40K per year for a four person household), roughly 9% of the county population, or 167,000 of our fellow citizens fall below the official "poverty line"; and I'll bet many of them probably don't think of themselves as "poor". State-wide, the percentage is even higher, 11%, or 700,000 below the poverty line in WA alone. And nationally, it's more like 17% or 51,000,000 people.
That's a LOT of poor people. And they're the ones I'm talking about.

My name is Aaron and I run a website to get people out of payday loan debt. I get e-mails and phone calls from people that are so scared and in debt. I am so sick of how these payday loan companies conduct business. Some folks call and say they want to commit suicide, having a nervous break down,whats the use of going to work. I can go on and on. This has got to stop! Lets get out of payday loan debt. www.getoutofpaydayloandebt.com and get word out to the people that there is help from regulators and Attorney Generals office. These people are so far in debt and scared by the threats from payday loan companies they don't know where to turn for help. Im sick of hearing from the ones that can help them to go in the right direction say well they got themselves in the mess let them figure out how to get out. What a bunch of bull! Everyone gets in trouble and needs a hand up. This is going on across the country not just Washington state. Im going to the legislation meeting in January with some people that have been through payday debt. My phone number is 509-238-9180. Lets educate these people on the laws that our government has for them and let them know about the regulators that are more than willing to help them. Yes right now my spelling stinks because im so mad! Aaron Medres

Last year, Parliament passed the Psychoactive Substances Act,
which gave local authorities the power to draft a locally
approved product policy (Lapp). That policy would help
regulate where in their districts psychoactive products could
be sold.
Dunedin City Council liquor licensing and project officer
Kevin Mechen confirmed a draft policy would go to a council
workshop in the next few weeks.
Following that discussion, a final draft would be presented
before going out for consultation.
Mr Mechen said while working on the draft he had received
much feedback, including a petition, and had talked to
researchers about legal highs.
The DCC did not want to be the first council to implement a
Lapp, and cited the example of Hamilton City Council which
was now the subject of a judicial review after suspending the
interim licences of six retailers of legal highs.
''We could rush and put something in place and then find that
it has absolutely no weight whatsoever.''
Dunedin's policy could introduce exclusion zones around
''sensitive areas'' such as schools, early childhood centres,
churches and social welfare agencies, rather than taking a
prohibition-type stance, he said.
At present, there were nine legal high retailers in the
Dunedin area. Last week, Associate Health Minister Peter
Dunne expressed his disappointment in the response of local
government authorities to develop and implement their Lapps.
That sentiment was echoed by Dunedin-based National List MP
Michael Woodhouse, who, in a column in The Star newspaper,
called on the DCC to implement ''its Lapp quickly and suspend
licences of retailers operating outside the parameters of
that policy''.
In April last year, Mayor Dave Cull urged a boycott of
synthetic cannabis, saying ''a minority of shop owners in
Dunedin persist in selling the substance, putting personal
gain against clearly identified community harm''.
Since the Act was passed, the number of retailers has dropped
from an estimated 3000-4000 to about 156. The number of
products has dropped from an estimated 200-300 to 41. No new
retail outlets are permitted until the interim period ends,
expected to be mid-2015.

As free Web-based e-mail services get better and better, you may soon be able to leave your desktop e-mail apps behind.
But which of the Big Three webmail services — Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail — has the features that meet your needs?
Get a free e-mail account in an instant
When it comes to Web-based e-mail, we've got an abundance of choices. Still, most of us use Google's Gmail, Microsoft's Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail.
Recent enhancements to Yahoo Mail give that service most of the best features of Outlook and other desktop e-mail programs. This puts Yahoo Mail a notch or two ahead of both Gmail and Hotmail, though those two services are far from slouches.
All three of the services I tested get your e-mail account running quickly. Signing up requires only some basic information such as your preferred e-mail address, an alternate (existing) e-mail address, your name, and your country of residence.
Hotmail also asks for the state or province you live in, the postal code, and your birth year. Yahoo wants to know your birthday (day, month, and year) and postal code.

Foursquare Unveils Self-Serve Ads for Small Businesses
Foursquare is expanding access to the paid promotions it has been testing with New York City-based merchants, which was reported in early June. Today the location-based social network is announcing self-serve Foursquare Ads for small businesses.
In its blog post announcing the new product, the company says the idea for the ads is simple: "connect people looking for somewhere to go with businesses that want to drive traffic to their stores." Foursquare notes that it's improved its targeting technology during ad pilots in the past year.
Small businesses that use these promoted listings are charged only when users visit the location in person or click on the ad to view the business's page on Foursquare. Back in June, Advertising Age noted that Foursquare typically charges between $0.50 to $3 per action but that this cost per action might be different for small businesses.
Foursquare will use two criteria when targeting ads: a user's location and a user's likelihood of being a customer for the promoted business.
"A few thousand" small businesses will get access to these self-serve ads today, and more will get access in the coming months, according to the company. Of course, interested merchants need to have claimed their business on Foursquare beforehand.
Last week Foursquare introduced post check-in ads, which are shown to users right after they check in to certain locations. This product is also priced on a per-action basis.

A host of former champions will try to reclaim their title at
this year's New Zealand PGA Championship in Queenstown
starting on February 28.
The majority of the country's best golfers will tee off at
The Hills for the PGA Tour of Australasia tournament, raising
hopes of another homegrown champion in 2013.
Michael Hendry is returning to defend his title, after
becoming the first winner of the event under the new
celebrity Pro-Am format last year.
Hendry had a fantastic year in 2012, going on to win another
three titles after his victory in Queenstown as well as
racking up a number of top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour of
Australasia and the OneAsia tour.
He also secured his card on the lucrative 2013 Japan Tour
after a top 30 finish at qualifying school.
Another three former champions from New Zealand will join
Hendry in the field.
The 2009 winner Steven Alker is back after missing the event
last year. Alker finished 2012 in fine form with a top five
finish at the Chile Classic on the Web.com Tour.
Earlier in the year, he showed just how good he really is
with a top 20 finish at The Open Championship at Royal Lytham
and St Annes.
The 1984 champion Greg Turner is back for a crack at the
title. He also lined up in the New Zealand Open at Clearwater
in November and surprised everyone when he made the cut.
The other former winner, Simon Owen, who is best remembered
for his duel with Jack Nicklaus in the 1978 British Open
(where he finished runner-up), makes a rare re-appearance in
a professional event, which marks the centenary of the New
Zealand PGA.
The 2012 runner-up and former European Tour winner Mark
Brown, who finished a creditable fifth on the PGA Tour of
Australasia Order of Merit, will be looking to go one better
this year.
Other top touring Kiwis who will play this year include David
Smail, Ryan Fox, Gareth Paddison, Josh Geary, Brad Shilton
and Richard Lee, as well as Perth-based Michael Long.
Throw in Phil Tataurangi, who continues to ply his trade at
home during a self-imposed hiatus from the American
tournament scene, and Australian Peter Fowler, who many deem
to be an honorary Kiwi having lived in Auckland for two
decades and there is reason to be optimistic of a winner from
New Zealand.

Recently I've started to get message popup message from Dropbox in my Ubuntu that asked me to do something like this:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p
I've used 200000 since 100000 didn't work for me. And this popup stopped to show up, I was happy, it looked like everything syncs just fine. And then I figured out that my Dropbox folder is half smaller than it was. And a lot of files are missing when I'm browsing the folder.
Since I store a lot of text files (programs sources) I can't restore every file manually. Is there any way to restore something like snapshot for the whole folder? I couldn't find this feature.

NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Best of the Firsts, No. 19: Randall McDaniel by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Thu Mar. 8, 2012 Randall McDaniel didn't play a high-profile position, but he absolutely dominated at guard. (Kevin Terrell/WireImage.com)As part of our offseason coverage, we're taking a look back at some of the best first-round draft picks since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. We'll work our way up the draft board, starting with the best selection made with the No. 32 pick and ending with the top No. 1 pick. Track all the choices here.The No. 19 Pick: Randall McDaniel, 1988, VikingsHis Credentials: Inducted into NFL Hall of Fame in 2009, 12-time Pro Bowl selection, nine-time All-Pro, named to NFL's All-Decade Team for the 1990s, started 220 career games and 202 consecutivelyOthers in Consideration: Casey Hampton (2001, Steelers); Shaun Alexander (2000, Seahawks); Marvin Harrison (1996, Colts); Joey Browner (1983, Vikings); Jack Tatum (1971, Raiders)As the NFL world turns its full attention to Peyton Manning, let's at least pause for a moment to recognize Marvin Harrison, who easily -- easily -- could have been given the nod at No. 19 on our list.Harrison's 1,102 catches have him in third place on the NFL's all-time list, passed up by Tony Gonzalez last season. His 14,580 career yards receiving are the sixth-most ever and just eight players have scored more touchdowns than Harrison, who found the end zone 128 times.He was Manning's favorite target for a huge stretch of time, including the 2006 season, when Harrison caught 95 passes and the Colts won the Super Bowl. Harrison should be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, whether in his first try or not.No doubt, his career stacks up with some of the greatest players in league history.The man claiming this spot on our countdown, though, had a pretty decent run of his own. Randall McDaniel was an absolute rock on the interior of Minnesota's offensive line for 12 seasons before finishing his career with a two-year stint in Tampa Bay.Amazingly, despite starting more than 220 career games and finishing his career by taking the field in 202 straight contests, McDaniel never seemed to lose a step. Case in point: In 2000, his first season with the Buccaneers, he made his 12th Pro Bowl and even caught a touchdown pass in a 31-10 win over Detroit.Harrison put up a ton of offensive numbers, but McDaniel helped pave the way for others to succeed. Six different 1,000-yard rushers and five 3,000-yard passers set up shop behind McDaniel, and he was a linchpin on the 1998 Vikings team that put up 556 points (third-most in NFL history).Minnesota advanced to the NFC title game that year, the closest McDaniel ever got to the Super Bowl.Ex-Vikings QB Brad Johnson called McDaniel "the best to ever play" the guard position, while Mike Tice, briefly a player for Minnesota during McDaniel's career and later a coach, said in 2006 that McDaniel was the franchise's "first Randy Moss ... The only difference between McDaniel then and Moss now is that Randall plays an unglorified position."In truth, that's part of the reason McDaniel won out over Harrison here. Our draft list is littered with skill-position players, and there are plenty more to come as we work our way up toward No. 1 overall.McDaniel was as dominating as they come and equally adept at pass blocking and paving the way for running backs. Few players in NFL history have the sheer numbers that Harrison accumulated during his career. But just because McDaniel's impact is not as easily measured, there is no denying that he was a worthy Hall of Famer and one of the best offensive guards the league has seen. More Audibles

Spearman Furniture closing; Family Dollar opening

Last Modified: Friday, March 19, 2010 at 11:46 p.m.
Spearman Furniture, at 109 Florence St. in Hendersonville, will close its doors permanently at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The 30,000-square-foot facility offered brand-name furniture along with exclusive Spearman furniture, a Lane showcase gallery and Lane's exclusive Eddy Bauer collection.
A press release faxed to the Times-News from the store announced the closing Friday afternoon. No further information was immediately available.

"What to Eat When You Need a Fix"
While it's important to eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis, some situations call for superfoods that will boost your energy, sharpen your mind or help you fit into your favorite pair of jeans, says Pam O'Brien, executive editor of Fitness magazine. Gayle talks with Pam about advice featured in the article "What to Eat When You Need a Fix" in the magazine's July 2008 issue.
What to Eat When:
What to Eat When:
- You're feeling sleepy or sluggish: When you don't get enough sleep, the hormones that regulate your appetite are knocked out of whack, so you're always hungry, Pam says. The solution: Eat foods that are high in water content, such as oatmeal with berries. "They'll make you feel full, and they'll keep you satisfied longer," she says.
- You're grabbing something on the go: Reach for an egg salad sandwich. Pam says that eggs get a bad rap—they're actually really good for you. "They're high in protein, and protein keeps you satisfied," she says.
- You need to squeeze into a dress: Chow down on some pineapple. "Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelane, and that actually reduces bloating," Pam says. Avoid chewing sugar-free gum, which contains sorbitol and can increase bloating, she says.
- You want to boost your brain power: Enjoy a wrap with tuna, broccoli and cauliflower. Tuna contains omega-3 fatty acids, which will improve focus and concentration. Cruciferous vegetables help with your memory, Pam says.
- You're starving before dinner: Delicious almonds will curb your appetite with protein and heart-healthy fats, Pam says.

Chicken With Peanuts and Noodles
If you can't find a bagged vegetable medley for this easy noodle bowl, choose 12 ounces of cut vegetables from your market's salad bar and create your own mix
- 1 pound chicken, boneless, skinless breasts
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth natural
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced-sodium
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
- 1 12-ounce bag fresh vegetable medley, such as carrots, broccoli, snow peas
- Step 1
- Put a large pot of water on to boil for cooking pasta.
- Step 2
- Meanwhile, place chicken in a skillet or saucepan and add enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size strips.
- Step 3
- Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, chile-garlic sauce and ginger in a large bowl.
- Step 4
- Cook pasta in the boiling water until not quite tender, about 1 minute less than specified in the package directions. Add vegetables and cook until the pasta and vegetables are just tender, 1 minute more. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Rinse the pasta and vegetables with cool water to refresh. Stir the reserved cooking liquid into the peanut sauce; add the pasta, vegetables and chicken; toss well to coat. Serve warm or chilled.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To serve, stir in 2 tablespoons warm water per portion; serve cold or reheat in microwave.

The High Costs of Doing Nothing, Part I
A dirty little secret of climate change is that somebody wants us to pay much higher taxes and higher energy bills. But it's not the advocates of climate action. It's the other guys.
Make no mistake: The costs of switching to clean energy and an energy-efficient economy are far less than the costs of doing nothing.
A study released by the University of Maryland last October helps bring the cost issue into clearer focus. It concludes that the economic costs of unabated climate change in the United States will be major and nationwide.
Climate change will damage or stress essential municipal infrastructure such as water treatment and supply; increase the size and intensity of forest fires; increase the frequency and severity of flooding and drought; cause billions of dollars in damages to crops and property; lead to higher insurance rates; and even increase shipping costs in the Great Lakes-St Lawrence seaway because of lower water levels. And that's just a sampling.
"Climate change will affect every American economically in significant, dramatic ways, and the longer it takes to respond, the greater the damage and the higher the costs," lead researcher Matthias Ruth told ScienceDaily.
How big are those costs?
Much more work is needed to quantify them, and the national Climate Change Science Program should give more emphasis to both the social and economic costs of local climate impacts. But recent experience gives an indication of how large the costs could be. The University of Maryland study puts the combined storm damages in the U.S. since 1980 at more than $560 billion, even though the impacts of climate change are far from fully felt. Various estimates project that the maintenance of Alaska's infrastructure will cost $10 billion; property damage from rising sea-levels will cost as much as $170 billion by 2100; and upgrading drinking and water treatment facilities will cost up to $2 billion over the next 20 years. Two federal insurance programs also are a harbinger of pain. Since 1980, taxpayer exposure under the Federal Crop Insurance Program has increased 26-fold to $44 billion. Several of the predicted consequences of climate change — drought, wildfires, extreme weather, new exposure to pests — will make that liability much worse.
Our liability under the National Flood Insurance Program will increase, too. Taxpayer exposure in that program has quadrupled since 1980, approaching $1 trillion in 2005. The program had to borrow more than $17 billion from the Treasury to pay claims following Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma and it's likely that taxpayers will have to foot the bill.
"The national debate is often framed in terms of how much it will cost to reduce greenhouse gases, with little or no consideration of the cost of no response or the cost of waiting," the University of Maryland's lead researcher, Matthias Ruth, told ScienceDaily.
We can expect the demagogues to continue stressing that carbon pricing will mean higher energy bills, while aggressive federal action will mean higher taxes. They will continue to argue that climate action will ruin the economy. We shouldn't let them get away with it.
The truth is that spending money now to mitigate and adapt to climate change is an investment. Spending money later to cope with public health emergencies, drought, crop damage and natural disasters is a waste.
It's climate change, not climate action, that will break the economy and burden the nation's taxpayers, and that liability gets bigger every year we delay.
— Bill B.

UMD has a number of good publications out that try to quantify the impacts from climate change to different countries of the world. Also see a workshop publication from April 2007 entitled, "Vulnerability, Resistance, and Adaptation: Societal Causes and Responses" by Elizabeth L. Malone at http://www.globalchange.umd.edu/data/publications/Vulnerability-Resilience-Adaptation.ppt. This presentation shares a modeling effort that calculates the sensitivity, resilience, and coping of different regions to impacts from climate change, based on future scenarios.
Here are the types of sensitivities and coping/adaptation capacities that are modeled; they are driven on commonly recognized indicators of human security and progress that are implicitly connected to policy:
Human Settlement and Infrastructure: Population at flood risk from sea level rise, population without access to clean water and sanitation
Food Security: Cereals production/crop land area, protein consumption/per capita
Ecosystem Sensitivity: percent irrigated land, fertilizer use
Water Security: Water availability (demand/supply), precipitation amount
Human Health: Fertility rate, life expectancy
Economic Capacity: GDP per capita, Equity index
Human Capital: Dependency ration, literacy rate
Environmental Capacity: land use measure (% unmanaged land), SO2 emissions per unit area, population density
The presentation suggests we change the focus of the global warming PR "from physical impacts to meaningful societal consequences." This in turn can help societies to "build resilience and adaptive capacity" through policy change.
Malone EL. 2007. "Vulnerability, Resilience, and Adaptation: Societal Causes and Responses." CRCES Workshop: Societal Impacts of Decadal Climate Variability in the United States, Kona, Hawaii. 04/26/2007.
The Maryland study was an eye-opener, but it didn't try to put an actual price tag on the cost of inaction. Another study by Tufts University gets more specific, though it focuses only on Florida:

How To Reduce Your Heating Bills This Winter / Energy Conservation Begins at Home
Imagine leaving a window open all winter long — the heat loss, cold drafts and wasted energy! If your home has a folding attic stair, a whole house fan or AC Return, a fireplace or a clothes dryer, that may be just what is occurring in your home every day.
These often overlooked sources of heat loss and air leakage can cause heat to pour out and the cold outside air to rush in — costing you higher heating bills.
Air leaks are the largest source of heating and cooling loss in the home. Air leaks occur through the small cracks around doors, windows, pipes, etc. Most homeowners are well aware of the benefits caulk and weatherstripping provide to minimize heat loss and cold drafts.
But what can you do about the four largest "holes" in your home — the folding attic stair, the whole house fan or AC return, the fireplace, and the clothes dryer? Here are some tips and techniques that can easily, quickly and inexpensively seal and insulate these holes.
Attic Stairs
When attic stairs are installed, a large hole (approximately 10 square feet) is created in your ceiling. The ceiling and insulation that were there have to be removed, leaving only a thin, unsealed, sheet of plywood.
Your attic space is ventilated directly to the outdoors. In the winter, the attic space can be very cold, and in the summer it can be very hot. And what is separating your conditioned house from your unconditioned attic? That thin sheet of plywood.
Often a gap can be observed around the perimeter of the door. Try this yourself: at night, turn on the attic light and shut the attic stairway door — do you see any light coming through? These are gaps add up to a large opening where your heated/cooled air leaks out 24 hours a day. This is like leaving a window open all year round.
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add an attic stair cover. An attic stair cover provides an air seal, reducing the air leaks. Add the desired amount of insulation over the cover to restore the insulation removed from the ceiling.
Whole House Fans and AC Returns
Much like attic stairs above, when whole house fans are installed, a large hole (up to 16 square feet or larger) is created in your ceiling. The ceiling and insulation that were there have to be removed, leaving only leaky ceiling shutter between the house and the outdoors.
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a whole house fan cover. Installed from the attic side, the whole house fan cover is invisible. Cover the fan to reduce heating and air-conditioning loss, remove it when use of the fan is desired.
If attic access is inconvenient, or for AC returns, a ceiling shutter cover is another option for reducing heat loss through the ceiling shutter and AC return. Made from R-8, textured, thin, white flexible insulation, and installed from the house side over the ceiling shutter with Velcro, a whole house fan shutter cover is easily installed and removed.
Sixty-five percent, or approximately 100 million homes, in North America are constructed with wood or gas burning fireplaces. Unfortunately there are negative side effects that the fireplace brings to a home especially during the winter home-heating season. Fireplaces are energy losers.
Researchers have studied this to determine the amount of heat loss through a fireplace, and the results are amazing. One research study showed that an open damper on an unused fireplace in a well-insulated house can raise overall heating-energy consumption by 30 percent.
A recent study showed that for many consumers, their heating bills may be more than $500 higher per winter due to the air leakage and wasted energy caused by fireplaces.
Why does a home with a fireplace have higher heating bills? Hot air rises. Your heated air leaks out any exit it can find, and when warm heated air is drawn out of your home, cold outside air is drawn in to make up for it. The fireplace is like a giant straw sucking the heated air from your house.
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a fireplace draftstopper. Available from Battic Door, a company known for their energy conservation products, a fireplace draftstopper is an inflatable pillow that seals the damper, eliminating any air leaks. The pillow is removed whenever the fireplace is used, then reinserted after.
Clothes Dryer Exhaust Ducts
In many homes, the room with the clothes dryer is the coldest room in the house. Your clothes dryer is connected to an exhaust duct that is open to the outdoors. In the winter, cold air leaks in through the duct, through your dryer and into your house.
Dryer vents use a sheet-metal flapper to try to reduce this air leakage. This is very primitive technology that does not provide a positive seal to stop the air leakage. Compounding the problem is that over time, lint clogs the flapper valve causing it to stay open.
An easy, low-cost solution to this problem is to add a dryer vent seal. This will reduce unwanted air infiltration, and keep out pests, bees and rodents as well. The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, a floating shuttle rises to allow warm air, lint and moisture to escape.
If your home has a folding attic stair, a whole house fan, an AC return, a fireplace, and/or a clothes dryer, you can easily, quickly and inexpensively seal and insulate these holes.
Mark D. Tyrol is a Professional Engineer specializing in cause and origin of construction defects. He developed several residential energy conservation products including an attic stair cover, an attic access door, and is the U.S. distributor of the fireplace draftstopper.

The average mean temperature in North America was 7 degress below normal in 2008.

When are you Zombies going to realized you've been scammed?
The pollution issues that are causing ice melt in the artic and a declining air quality are dust and soot pollution in northern Asia.
That problem was identified decades ago, and it's effects were predicted as well. CO2 pollution is a straw man constrcuted to issue in global Marxism.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer Prevention (PDQ®): Prevention - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Description of the Evidence
Incidence and mortality
With an estimated 232,670 cases expected, breast cancer will be the most frequently diagnosed nonskin malignancy in U.S. women in 2014.[1] Also in 2014, breast cancer will kill an estimated 40,000 women, second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer mortality in women. Breast cancer also occurs in men, and it is estimated that 2,360 new cases will be diagnosed in 2014.[1] Despite a prior long-term trend of gradually increasing breast cancer incidence in women, data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program show a decrease in breast cancer mortality of 1.9% per year from 1998 to 2007.[2]
The major risk factor for breast cancer is advancing age. A 30-year-old woman has a 1 in 250 chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the next 10 years, whereas a 70-year-old woman has a 1 in 27 chance.[2]
Breast cancer incidence and mortality risk also vary on the basis of geography, culture, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Compared with other races, white women have a higher incidence of breast cancer that may be attributable, in part, to screening behavior.[1]
Screening by mammography decreases breast cancer mortality by identifying cases for treatment at an earlier stage. However, screening also identifies more cases than would become symptomatic in a woman's lifetime, so screening increases breast cancer incidence. (Refer to the Overdiagnosis section in the PDQ summary on Breast Cancer Screening for more information.)
Etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer
Breast cancer develops when a series of genetic mutations occurs.[3] Initially, mutations do not change the histologic appearance of the tissue, but accumulated mutations will result in hyperplasia, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and eventually, invasive cancer.[4] The longer a woman lives, the more somatic mutations occur and the more likely it is that these mutations will produce populations of cells that will evolve into malignancies. Estrogen and progestin cause growth and proliferation of breast cells that may work through growth factors such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha.[5] These hormones, whether endogenous or exogenous, may promote the development and proliferation of breast cancer cells.

Homer uses the power of flatuence to communicate with people after getting paralyzed by a spider bite in "The Diving Bell and The Butterball," Flanders becomes a murderer for the Lord in "Dial 'D' for 'Diddly'," and Bart and Milhouse pose as the natives on an alien planet in order to steal a rare element in the (rather dated) Avatar parody, "In the Na'vi."
- Affectionate Parody: The Three Shorts are parodies to Spider-Man and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Dexter and Avatar. Abe Simpson thought there would be one of Black Swan.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: After having his mind inserted into an Avatar, Bart wished for five minutes with his enemies. They then showed up as Avatars as well.
- Big "NO!": Homer when he realized his candy bag contained vegetables instead of candies.
- Broken Pedestal: Flanders learns that God takes orders from the Devil and the Devil is sleeping with his deceased wife, Maude.
- Fanservice: While is paralyzed, Homer has a clear view of Marge's tits and thinking "Cleavage".
- Fridge Brilliance: Kamala is the offspring of Kang (and thus the "next generation" in Kudos and Kang's family tree). Keeping in the shows theme of naming the aliens after characters from Star Trek, Kamala is named after one from Star Trek: The Next Generation (in this case, an arranged marriage bride who falls for Picard in "The Perfect Mate").
- Tempting Fate: Flanders asked how things could be worse. His deceased wife was dating the devil.

Music Review Writers: (Get free music)
We get TONS of music each week and we add it to our streaming system. We also like to keep it listed in our music catelog. Its one of the largest areas on the website and with the help of others, it can grow daily. When you go to our playlist for anything that we have in the system, you can click the INFO button and up pops a window showing you details of the audio, label, etc. This info is hand written and we like to have more help with that. This is simple.
We will give you SPECIAL access to an area of the site, where you can basically "fill in the blanks" for such info but obviously, you'd need to HEAR the music, right? That's the fun part. We will send you a folder full of music and you take a week to listen to each song and leave a review on each. But most importantly you get to KEEP The music you review.
Music Industry News Writers
Become one of our bloggers and help us get some great articles written for this site. We already have plenty in here but with so much going on, with artists that we follow, including our own local djs, venues, music releases, and even dj technology, there is MUCH to talk about! We need YOUR help with that. If you have what it takes to be a good blogger, have a talent with words, and can toss in a good joke, and good writing skills, let us know. Let see where you fit in.
Event Writers
most times these articles are written by the promoters hosting the events but that can be very biased so how about YOU get into any event for free, take pics for the night, meet some new friends, and come back with a solid article to leave for the world to see? Its not YOUR event so the article, would be honest, which is what we are looking for.
Mix Show Djs
We have timeslots throughout the week where we liike to fill in djs who can do a LIVE STREAMING show. A good 1hour or 2 hour slot is what we are looking to fill on a weekly schedule for each person. There are regulations to follow. You cant just show up and not come around again til the next show and we WILL NOT broadcast your RECORDING for you weekly. This is a LIVE SHOW from your location (bedroom, friends house, patio, club, venue, etc) and we can help you get it worked out. See the info here and contact us today about it. Because the link might change from time to time, just follow this path in our menu:
Go To our FORUM > Look under FAQ / HELP for "BECOME A DJ WITH US"
but here is the current link http://www.antifmradio.com/j2/forum/become-a-dj-with-us
A&R Music Scouts
We dont like pulling music from the TOP TEN listings of any chart. We like getting it direct from labels, artists, and even unknown producers. It doesn't take much to find them but there's more to it then just scanning the net and downloading it. We would also like for YOU "the A&R man / girl / other?" to also stay in touch with each artist you come across. Its like building your own clientele. See?, its a bit more than just finding the music. Let us know what you think or, if you have any ideas to help this along.
Dj Submission Reviewers
We get mix submissions from djs on a regular basis. Sometimes we get them in abundance, and in those moments
We know how busy your life is and we dont like to be bombarded with AD's just like you. In fact, Antifmradio has NEVER in its running time since 2005, ever used advertising banners on its pages, however now, in 2015 we are going to start.......but with a twist.....
Each time you go to a website, you see ads for things irrelevant to what you are there for and you're FORCED to leave your precious website to get to its information.....well......we dont want that. So lets do something different. What we will advertise on this site is ONLY the same genre music related items, products, djs, including out OWN djs and their live shows or special mixes. Also, the banners you see and click on WILL NOT lead you away from this site. Any banner displayed will link you to a page INSIDE of Antifmradio.com which goes into details about said advertisement. From that point you can decide if you want to leap off our pages for more, or not. Finally, you get to make the final choice with no surprises.
