Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tickborne disease first recognized in 1896 in the Snake River Valley of Idaho. It was originally called "black measles" because of the look of its rash in the late stages of the illness, when the skin turns black. It was a dreaded, often fatal disease, affecting hundreds of people in Idaho. By the early 1900s, the disease could be found Washington, Montana, California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
In response to this health problem, the U.S. Public Health Service sent University of Chicago pathologist Dr. Howard T. Ricketts to the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, one of the disease hotspots. In 1906 Dr. Ricketts showed that the disease was transmitted by the bite of the Rocky Mountain wood tick. The work of Dr. Ricketts laid the foundation for what later became the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) in Hamilton, Montana. Today, dozens of scientists continue to study tickborne and other diseases at RML, which is part of NIAID.
Though U.S. healthcare providers typically report about 250 to 1,200 cases of RMSF each year to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a record 2,563 cases were reported in 2008.
RMSF is found throughout the United States from April through September. More than half of all cases occur in the mid-Atlantic to southern area of the United States (Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Florida). North Carolina, Missouri, and Oklahoma report the greatest number of people with RMSF. Although the disease was first discovered in the Rocky Mountains, the area has relatively few cases today.
The disease also has been found in Canada and in Central and South America.

Morning: 3 sets of push-ups (max out reps) with 5 min recovery
Evening: 9 sets of chin-ups…same amount of reps each time with 60 seconds recovery in between.
She says: "Working out twice worked out perfectly today…but my arms won't work tomorrow."
Okay, push ups are just not my favorite thing ever. But I did 60, 52, then 47.
Chin ups are still a problem, but I am getting so much stronger in my upper body. First three sets I did 3 unassisted. Then I did 20 assisted for the remaining six sets. My sandbag T-Rex is helping me get there!
He says: "I'm recovering well from the long crazy weekend of training. No sense killing myself before Death Race."
I tried to do Sunday's workout immediately after 24 hours of hiking over 55 miles with a 40lbs back pack over two Vermont summits (my long run).
Yeah, well….it didn't work out to well. I just lay face first on floor.
Waking up Monday morning, I only stretched and did all my god damn Spartan work I probably should have been doing Saturday and Sunday when I was wondering the mountains.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard said he expects a wild playbook from new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson in 2014. 'For me and Benny, I think we've done a good job thus far. I think we can continue to keep doing a good job,' Bernard said. 'We just got to go into it with an open mind, and he's (Jackson) going to create this craziest playbook ever, but it's going to be fun. I'm excited for it.' Jackson is expected to move the Bengals to a more ground-and-pound offensive approach including Bernard and RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
Huddle Up: Bernard had 226 touches to Green-Ellis' 224 last season, but look for the margin to swing more in favor of the second-year RB if both players are back in Cincy next season.
Posted: 12/9/2013 1:35am et
Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard finished with 99 yards on 12 carries in the Week 14 game against the Indianapolis Colts, just missing his first career 100-yard game. He also added 49 yards on four receptions.
Huddle Up: A great game to start off the fantasy playoffs, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis was the one getting into the end zone. Bernard should have PPR value, but the Law Firm is going to be in the way.
Posted: 11/8/2013 4:53pm et
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden wants to limit RB Giovani Bernard's workload in the second half of the season in order to keep him fresh and healthy. In the last four games, RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis has 60 touches to 52 for Bernard. 'To say we're going to give the ball to Gio 25 times each week is kind of unrealistic,' Gruden said. 'He needs spelling. He needs a bigger back in there like BenJarvus to take 10, 12, 15 carries a game.' Bernard (ribs) was limited in practice for a third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Bernard injured his ribs late in his standout Week 9 Thursday night performance against the Dolphins, and has needed the extra days to recover. With limited touches, his owners are going to have to hope 1 or 2 of them are signature big plays from the rookie.
Posted: 11/2/2013 10:00pm et
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said he does not expect RB Giovani Bernard (rib) to miss much time after suffering a rib injury during the team's Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: Bernard was having have a huge game before leaving late with a rib injury. We'll know more about his status during the week but hopefully Bernard will be able to play against Baltimore next Sunday.
Posted: 11/1/2013 1:55pm et
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (ribs) suffered bruised ribs in the fourth quarter of the team's game Thursday, Oct. 31, but the injury isn't believed to be serious.
Huddle Up: At least the rookie delivered with 104 total yards and 2 TDs before departing the game in the fourth quarter. He'll also have an extra few days of rest with the Bengals not playing again until a week from Sunday.
Posted: 11/1/2013 12:25am et
Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard left the team's Week 9 game in the fourth
quarter Thursday, Oct. 31 because of a rib injury and did not return.
Huddle Up: With his team down 17-3, Bernard got the Bengals back in the game with a pair of
second-half rushing touchdowns and finished with 104 total yards on only 13
touches. There was no immediate word on how serious the injury is, but at at least
the rookie will have a few extra days to recover with 10 days until Cincy's Week 10
Posted: 9/20/2013 5:52pm et
Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (hamstring) fully practiced Friday, Sept. 20, and is probable for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Bernard was added to the team's injury report Thursday, but that sounds it was more a scare than anything for the rookie who figures to be in line for a bigger role in the Cincy game plan coming off his 2-TD game in Week 2.
Posted: 9/20/2013 10:15am et
Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard's role is expected to grow in the offense. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said Bernard and BenJarvus Green-Ellis should be closer to a 50-50 split in the coming weeks. Gruden feels more comfortable opening the playbook more now that he knows Bernard can handle pass protection.
Huddle Up: You knew this was coming. BJGE has more touches than Bernard through two games (38 to 14) but his 2.8 YPC average is not what the team needs. What they need are young legs that are averaging 5.0 YPC and bring a bigger threat in the passing game.
Posted: 9/17/2013 12:40am et
Rookie RB Giovanni Bernard scored on a 7-yard run and a 27-yard pass reception
to account for the Cincinnati Bengals' 2 touchdowns Monday, Sept. 16 in a 20-10
win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Those fantasy GMs who decided to roll with Bernard in their starting lineups
despite his 3-point fantasy dud in Week 1 enjoyed a nice reversal of fortune
Monday night. Bernard still only had 9 touches in the game -- 8 rushes for 38 yards
and his 27-yard scoring catch -- but he's no doubt earned more work after his
impressive showing.
Posted: 8/1/2013 10:55am et
Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard dressed for practice Wednesday, July 31, but he did not participate due to a hamstring injury.
Huddle Up: The expectation is that Bernard will provide at minimum a change-of-pace option to BenJarvus Green-Ellis in Cincinnati; his aggressive ADP suggests fantasy owners are banking on a little more from the rookie. However, he'll need to get back onto the practice field to start carving out that playing time.
Posted: 7/31/2013 12:50pm et
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden hinted before training camp that there might be an equal distribution of carries between RBs BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard, but that is unlikely to happen. The team has been impressive by Bernard, but they're not ready to reduce Green-Ellis' role.
Huddle Up: Bernard remains an intriguing change-of-pace guy to Green-Ellis, but it sounds like the transition will be slow in Cincinnati. Kind of like how Law Firm runs, which might lead to a quicker transition.
Posted: 7/3/2013 2:19am et
Cincinnati Bengals running backs coach Hue Jackson preferred RB Giovani Bernard over RBs Le'Veon Bell, Montee Ball and Eddie Lacy in this year's draft because of Bernard's speed and versatility. Bernard was used as a wide receiver in spring practices, in addition to his rushing duties. 'He's so natural catching the ball. He can catch it like a receiver,' Jackson said. 'I knew he could catch it really well, but I wouldn't be surprised if he could go out there and line up outside and catch balls like some other guys can because he has that skill set.'
Huddle Up: This wrinkle could ease some RBBC concern in Cincy as Bernard and BenJarvus Green-Ellis may be on the field at the same time. The Law Firm still may start, but Bernard is definitely the Bengals' back you want in PPR leagues.
Posted: 6/8/2013 8:25pm et
The Cincinnati Bengals would like to get the ball into RB Giovani Bernard's hands this season so he can make big plays. The team has been working on screen passes with Bernard during organized team activities.
Huddle Up: Bernard will be at minimum the change-of-pace/third down component of Cincinnati's backfield committee, with BenJarvus Green-Ellis handling between the tackles and short yardage duties. But Bernard's explosiveness give him a decent shot of turning his role into something bigger, and certainly something more lucrative in PPR and yardage-based fantasy leagues.
Posted: 5/6/2013 11:32am et
Cincinnati Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis is expected to see the most carries this season. It would also be a surprise if both RBs Bernard Scott and Giovani Bernard made the team.
Huddle Up: The Bengals need a change-of-pace option to BJGE, and Scott has been unable to fill that role so it would make sense that Bernard will be Cincy's RB2--and an intriguing PPR/performance league fantasy option as well.

529 people recommend parking here 341 left comments
The parking went very smooth except for when we were leaving the building that we had to walk through to get to the subway on our way to pnc park was closed. We had to walk up to the street and try and find how to get back to our ramp a different way. Other then that it was a great smooth parking experience.
This was the best parking garage that we've ever parked in for a Pens game.It was so quick getting in and out of it.Naturally it was just a bit slow getting out because of the game just getting over.But we were down far enough from Consol that once we got out,there was no traffic at all.It was all back down by Consol.The staff was very friendly and helpful.If you decide to park here,when you get in the will hand you 2 tickets to get out.Flip them over and you will notice that 1 is white and the other is pink.When you leave,insert the white one first and then the pink.I heard there was some confusion with some customers at other times.But if you're looking for a good parking spot Downtown Pittsburgh for any reason. This is where you want to park for sure. LETS GO PENS!!!!..
Easy, convenient and safe.
Easy entry and exit. Price!
Safe clean and very convenient. We ate at the grill there in the building and found out they were validating yr parking so we could have saved 12. But had already paid online for our parking.
This was our very first time using ParkWiz and we found it very easy and convenient to take care of parking in advance before heading to the hockey game downtown. The staff was very friendly and helpful and our car was secure for the whole evening. Very nice price. We were given plenty of time to return to our car after the game and leave in an orderly fashion. Thank you, ParkWiz!
This is a 3-level, indoor heated garage just blocks from Consol Energy Center. Security is on staff 24/7. Public restrooms are available on Green level. Pittsburgh Grill Restaurant and Bar on Grant St is accessible from the garage.
Access to the "T" Subway System for a free ride to the ball parks is on the Concourse Level in the building. During hours Concourse access is closed you must exit the T at 6th Ave and enter the USX Tower main entrance to take the elevators to the garage.
Concourse Access hours:
Mon-Fri 5am-8pm
Sat 5am-2pm
Sun closed
Vehicle height restriction: 68 inches
Managed by Central Parking (Pit). This location is a commercial parking garage.
Nearby destinations: Consol Energy Center, Benedum Center for the Performing Arts.
This indoor parking garage is located in the USX Tower. The entrance is off directly left of the DoubleTree Hotel. From Sixth Ave, head north on Bigelow Square. With the USX Tower to your left and the DoubleTree to your right, look for two tall signs that read "Park" and "600 Grant St" in white lettering on either side of the entrance ramp.
*Note: The street address for USX Tower Parking is 600 Grant St. The garage entrance, however, is at the rear of the building. For GPS purposes, please use the DoubleTree Hotel address "1 Bigelow Square." This will place you right at the entrance to the garage. Be sure to take the ramp on the Left going down into the garage rather than continuing on Bigelow. Circling back will take awhile if you end up on the highway! Use these directions and the garage is easy to find.

One entered through the front door as a woman in a grey hooded sweatshirt scurried anxiously by. Another held the nozzle of a large, white fire hose, steadying it as gallons and gallons of water rushed inside to still the flames.
But Anniston residents had nothing to fear. The house had been set on fire on purpose for the first class to attend the Anniston Regional Training Center. The center is part of a two-year-old state network of 12 such centers intended to make it easier for firefighters and recruits to get the training they need, and to reduce the cost of that training for recruits and fire departments.
According to Anniston fire Sgt. Rodney Ball, the recruits who practiced on the burning house today will continue with their live-fire training Tuesday and take their state certification test – to be the first group to graduate from the Anniston Regional Training Center – on Friday.
According to Anniston fire Sgt. Brendon Connell, live-fire training is a culmination of all the skills recruits learn during their eight-week training course.
"They get all the basics and this brings it together in a real-life scenario," he said.
Anniston fire Chief Tony Taylor said the Anniston Fire Department has been an Alabama Fire College Regional Training Center for firefighters for more than a year. It is one of 12 in the Alabama Fire College Regional Training Center Network, established to help lower travel costs for state firefighters. The others are in Birmingham, Decatur, Dothan, Fort Payne, Fort Rucker, Huntsville, Mobile, Muscle Shoals, Orange Beach, Prattville and Shelby County.
John James, director of the Alabama Fire College regional program, said any state fire department can apply to host a regional training center if it meets certain qualifications, including having appropriate facilities to teach classes, being a reasonable distance from recruits' homes and having the right training supplies.
James said though there are still some courses that are required to be taken at the college, if a regional facility is set up for them, then college officials can try to host the course there.
James and Taylor both said the real savings isn't in the cost of tuition, which can be between $900 to $1,000 depending on a recruit's skill level, but in the logistics of travel to the college.
"Depending on the type of training, mileage, lodging and food, it can cost thousands of dollars," Taylor said.
Kyle Macoy, an Oxford fire captain who helped with the training Monday, said having a local training center is beneficial for local fire departments because it cuts down on more than half the training expenses for new recruits.
Jacksonville firefighter Ryan Rodan, 38, agreed with Macoy. Rodan said a local training center is not only cost-effective, but it saves time.
"It's nothing to come down to Anniston," he said.
Anniston firefighter Joseph Meeks, 29, enjoys the local angle for another reason.
"I get to be trained by the guys I'm going to work with," he said.
Ball, who has been with the Anniston Fire Department for 21 years, said the process of becoming a firefighter is intense. Recruits must first pass a physical ability test and be accepted into a training program.
Ball said live-fire training is the last of the training recruits do, and it's a win-win situation for the Fire Department and the city.
"The city gets rid of useless property and recruits learn to put out fires and navigate through fire consumed buildings," Ball said.

A sprain is the acute or chronic abnormal stretching, partial tearing, or complete tearing of the supporting ligaments which surround a joint. It can involve damage to a muscle or tendon attachment. A sprain is commonly, but incorrectly, used to describe any pain in the joint.
A sprained ankle is the most common joint disorder. Sprains of the knees are the second most common sprains. Fingers are also commonly affected by this condition. The severity of the sprain depends on how badly the ligament was torn.
Sprains may give rise to disabling pain in the back. This is often caused by lifting excessively heavy objects or lifting heavy objects improperly. Back sprains are also commonly caused by auto accidents.
Sprains take variable amounts of time to heal, usually several weeks. The following procedure is recommended for immediate treatment of sprain: apply an ice pack for four to six hours so that blood vessels constrict; then apply heat to reopen the blood vessels. To prevent swelling, keep the injured limb elevated; support and rest the limb. In some cases, analgesics and/or a cast will be needed.
Primary Factors
The primary cause of a sprain is excessive demands on a joint as a result of twisting or stretching the joint beyond its normal range of movement, with subsequent physical stress of the ligaments. In serious strains, all nearby tissues are injured.
Predisposing Factors
Sports injuries and "twisting an ankle."
Signs & Symptoms
Blackish-blue skin discoloration
Misshapen joint
Possible loss of mobility; if this occurs, it usually takes a few hours before its onset
Acute sprains
Sharp, transient pain Rapid swelling Hearing a snapping sound Tender muscles
Chronic sprains (appears several hours after the injury)
Stiffness Generalized tenderness Soreness

If any disturbances from the use of a particular supplement should occur, stop its use immediately and seek the care of a qualified health care professional.
Dietary Considerations
No nutritional management is prescribed specifically for sprains. However, since a sprain is described as an injury or rupture of tendons or ligaments, a Protein Enriched Diet would be helpful in the promotion of collagenous tissue repair and growth.

Neighborhoods: Southwest, South Westshore
Please do not waste your money here unless all you want is theme and not taste. Our cake was for 40 people and 3/4 was thrown away after the party as it tasted as if it was made with Crisco. It was chocolate with a chocolate filling. So we threw away 3/4 of a $260.cake. Never let your husband buy your birthday cake...A Costco, Publix or Walmart cake would have been better!
Please do not waste your time here! Service is hit or miss and owner is either very rude or very personable depending on his mood. He is very unorganized and does not remember anything. When ever I had questions I would call and he would throw me off the phone; not the best way to run a business let alone get repeat business.
The cake we discussed turned out completely different than what was delivered. He is overpriced and the taste of the cake was not that great. I was quoted one price and it ended up being a lot more. I will never use this company again and would strongly encourage anyone to go elsewhere. He will be nice and very charming to you until he gets your business and then you are just a number.
Excellent Cakes – I have placed several orders with Chef Michael at Let Them Eat Cake and I have never been disappointed. A couple years ago my daughter had a Twilight- themed birthday party so we had a cake made to match. All the girls and parents were amazed at how awesome the cake looked and tasted! Last year my family celebrated my grandmother's 94th birthday so I enlisted Chef Michael to create a classic pink and green cake (her favorite colors)... it was probably the most beautiful cake I have ever seen--simply elegant and absolutely delicious! I live all the way out in NW Hillsborough County and make the drive over to S. Tampa especially for these delectable cakes.
Don't waste your time, Publix has better cakes!!! – SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE- GO SOME WHERE ELSE!!!
I ordered a Phillies baseball cake for my husband's 30th birthday. I called and placed the order three weeks before his birthday. Chef Michael told me that it would be fifty dollars, so I was expecting an awesome cake. I had an original date of pick up for a Saturday morning, I called back a week and a half to change the date to the following Monday. They said no problem!
To my surprise, I get a call that Saturday a half an hour before they close wondering where I was to pick up my cake. I told them I changed the date over a week ago to be picked up on Monday and the guy says, "oh yeah I see that now", and I said "well the cake isn't made yet is it?? and he assured me that it wasn't.
I go to pick up my cake Monday afternoon and was very disappointed at how small it was! For fifty dollars I should have gotten a little bit bigger of a cake, but I figured it was the taste that mattered so I didn't care. I took the cake home, later that night we cut it up and to our surprise, it was the most dry cake I have ever had. We were both extremely disappointed!!
I called on Monday to discuss my disappointment and Chef Michael said I don't know whats going on, I'll call you back when I figure it out. He never called. I called back the following day and lets just say the conversation did not go well. He was the least bit concerned, and did not care that I got a four day old cake!! He told me that it in fact had been made Friday and that they were closed Sunday and Monday and so the cake had in fact been sitting there for four days. NO WONDER the cake was dry!! He said the original ticket said Saturday pickup and if I had come in when I originally placed my order I would have had a fresh cake. I said, I called a week and a half before it was made to change my order and they said they could do it. I should have never been told that my cake could have been made when they were closed. He actually said to me, "What? Do you expect me to bring in a chef and pay them over time for a fifty dollar cake??" I was appalled. I said no, all I would have wanted was for someone to tell me that my cake wouldn't be fresh since I was picking it up on a day that you are normally closed. Instead the staff lied to me and tried to pass a four day old cake on to me and told me it was fresh.
What a HORRIBLE experience. All Chef Michael could say was I will give you a discount on another cake when you come in. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I COME BACK AND ORDER ANOTHER CAKE WHEN THEY SOLD ME A FOUR DAY OLD CAKE???
This place is extremely overpriced, and the cake is not even good. You can get twice the size for half the price at Publix, and I guarantee the customer service will be better as well as the taste.
Great service, Great cake! – NOT one bad thing to say about this talented genuine man and his cake shop....I choose this place for my wedding cake last December and I was NOT disappointed! We shopped around for a while before we decided to give him a call expecting his prices to be higher with all the rave reviews Ive heard about his shop. Long story short, we have a last minute change in plans and needed a new cake decorator two weeks before our wedding! I was panicking! And everyone wanted to charge me outrageousness prices because they were "booked" or "rushed"..I called him with my spirits down and he picked them right up again when he said he can do it! Not only that but when we scheduled our "free" taste test, he was there guiding us through all the amazing flavors to choose from...I was so full by the end of the session... and in the end we picked a three layered cake with three different mouth watering flavors for each layer. When I showed him some pictures of what I wanted he was right on key with me. When we arrived at the reception hall I saw my beautiful cake on display on the cake table and was pleased beyond belief. And the taste was even better. He even included our monograms for free made completely out of chocolate.....(other places wanted to charge us for that too)....Wanna hear the "topping on the cake" and as to why I'm writing my review a YEAR later (sorry chef Michael) is because he promised us a FREE top layer cake of the same flavor on our 1 year anniversary. And I just called him to place my order, he picked up and said he can get it for me tomorrow!! YAY! My mouth is watering just thinking about tasting that deliciousness that was my wedding cake a year ago on my special day. EVERYONE loved my cake and I will always refer people to Chef Michael!
Overpriced and Overrated – We ordered our cake from Chef Michael a good 6 months before our wedding day. I attempted to go over the details of what we wanted and he blew us off every time, constantly with the "I got this attitude and I'm too busy to talk to you". We made an appointment for a cake tasting and waited over an hour! I gave Chef Michael a picture of an exact replica of the cake we wanted and he gave us the wrong color cake. Not to mention the cake itself was disappointing. It tasted stale, like it had been made a week earlier. Last but not least, when we ordered our cake he said to come back in a year for our complimentary 1 year anniversary cake. We called today to order it and Chef Michael said he doesn't know who we are because he doesn't keep track of his customers. How professional is that??? I don't care who you've made cakes for in the past, but this is no way to treat customers who pay way too much for their cakes. Lesson learned, when in doubt, go to Publix....their cakes taste better and are way cheaper!
Be warned, Let Them Eat Cake does not care about you if you're not rich or a celebrity!
Brides beware of Chef Michael – My wedding last year was perfect on the Yacht Starship, except for the one mistake with the cake.
I bought a cake topper and Chef Michael left it behind. The one mistake I thought I could live with for my wedding. However, I was promised an Anniversary cake. I called and ordered the lemon filling cake. To my surprise, My husband and I cut into a chocolate cake - no lemon filling which is my husband's favorite.
I am very disappointed. And have no desire to order another cake from Chef Michael.
Brides beware of Chef Michael. He does not care.
Seriously – Unless you are a celebrity or tampa elite - he will not care about you. There are a ton of places in Tampa to get a cake - just save yourself a headache and go somewhere else.
The best cookies EVER! – Chef Micheal is not only a great person and extremely fun to work with he also saved my event. VERY last minute he was able to deliver 10 dozen desserts to a corporate luncheon in Tampa. I am located in CT and knowing that this was being handled for me was a great relief. Everyone said the desserts were wonderful and wanted to know where they came from! Next time I am Tampa - I will be coming to Let Them East Cake and Chef Micheal is getting a big hug and kiss from me!
POOR SERVICE – I called in an order and received a price (a decent price, and was very happy). HOWEVER, TWO DAYS before the cake was to be made I was called and told that the cake price had DOUBLED! I spoke with the Chef and he told me he did not care about repeat customers. Goodluck with that.

I hope you have had your coffee, and realize that Nancy would not be able to fulfill the duties of VP.
What on earth were you thinking?
I could get behing a John Kassich Vice presidency. Young, Fiscal concervative, Somewhat a social conservative but not to the point of abandoning his fiscal consevaratism, in other words he is a hand up not a hand out social comservative.
Coming from a battleground state would be a stategic plus also.
I would love to see Michael Reagan go into politics. Now, that's a real conservative.
Rick Santorum. Better yet, Newt Gingrich. One very smart guy.

Yes folks. Keep paying your taxes and voting. You can see how well that formula has worked for us…Read More in the past. I might even toss in a tip for Uncle Sam this year and ask him to apply it to more foreign aid. I heard that Ukraine needs some bailout money.

Funny how the same Supervisors rejected $10M+ for health programs that benefit individuals because the money was "tied" to ObamaCare but now they want money from the Federal gov't for the earthquake for which I suspect zero dollars will go to help actual people. Hey Supervisors, if you're so "committed" to being anti-Obama put your hands back in your pockets until he's out of office. Hypocrites.

I recall the President saying after he was elected in 08 that the "seas would stop rising,…Read More weather would moderate, etc, etc." Too darn bad he didn't think to add the earth would stop shaking or quaking! But, then again, he always has Bush to blame it on.
OldTimer April 5, 2014 at 03:47 pm
It's like I told you before, Tom. The political rot in America is a systemic problem. Some like to…Read More focus all their attention on local city councils since it's way easier to tear apart the neophyte amateurs and make them look foolish, than it is the long ball hitter heavyweights. But the amateurs are simply watching the bigs boys and following their cues. Some like to slam just the Republicans. Others just the Democrats. Some say it's all the conservative's fault. Others say the liberals got us into this mess. Just a handful of adroit, insightful commoners have the ability to understand that the power brokers belonging to all these purported adversarial political and ideological groups work hand in hand to maintain the status quo. Look in the rearview mirror over the last decade. Did it really matter which political party held the majority in the nation's capital as far as where we are as a country today? Of course, the answer is a resounding 'no'. There is as much corruption and bullying and confiscation of civil rights and damage to Main Street under Obama as there were under Bush. The players change. The status quo remains steadfast. And nothing changes at the bottom. The bottomfeeders just follow the cues of their mentors who clawed their way to a higher rung on the ladder of 'go along to get along'. And let's face it. To get a shot at public office you have to get pre-approved by the big boys. Why do you think we literally have no third party legislators in county or state government? To my knowledge there are none in the national government either. Oh, and the 'Tea Party' is not a third party. It was formed to fool you into believing you had an alternate choice. An option. But if you look closely you would know it's been co-opted (bought out) by the Republicans. Many of the Tea Partiers elected in 2010 are now accepting large contributions from the TBTF banks. And I can prove that if you don't believe me. It's systemic. And anyone who claims otherwise IMO is in deep denial.

O.C. Measles Cases Jump to 21, Health Officials Call for All…
MFriedrich March 28, 2014 at 11:20 am
"Why aren't we effectively sealing the borders"... Because it's not feasible, and the risk…Read More does not (right now) outweigh the reward (of free movement of people, goods and services, etc.) I don't know even know how any kind of "border sealing" could be done effectively without massive consequences. We could imagine what that might look like for one flight at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. A plane arrives there from Frankfurt with 300 passengers on it. Some of them from Germany, but others from Turkey, E. Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia perhaps. Are we going to set each passenger aside and perform blood, urine and saliva tests? What about just a cheek swab culture? Now multiply that process another 233,000 times as that is the annual influx of passengers only to O'Hare in one year (almost 70 million) Now expand that process out to other countries who would no doubt reciprocate such controls if the US implemented them. Traffic and commercial goods and services would come to a grinding halt. The risk does not outweigh the reward. That's why.
OldTimer March 28, 2014 at 12:38 pm
We could easily require all people who enter the US from other nations to have proof of…Read More vaccinations of measles and all the other nasty diseases that we eradicated decades ago that are making a comeback. We know that most of these diseases are being imported from other nations. So the logical approach would be to take action to combat their importations. That includes mandatory vaccines for international guests and getting serious about enforcing immigration laws at our borders and using vigorous domestic enforcement methods (E-Verify) to discourage illegal aliens from coming here in the first place. All of this is very practical and easily implemented. If other nations want to replicate those requirements - fine by me. Who are we to visit their nations and infect them with our diseases? Now is not a time to make excuses. Now is the time to take action and to prevent the importation of serious diseases from other nations when we know that is the reason for the resurgence of these diseases in our nation, per the CDC. The risk of this problem growing to epidemic proportions is certainly worth the risk of taking vigorous action to stop the importation of communicable disease. How many times have we heard that you can't place a value on a single human life. They use it all the time with gun control legislation. Why not with disease prevention?

Supes Decide to Pass Along Cost of Paramedics to Residents…
Ratón De Las Olas March 27, 2014 at 02:42 pm
If you're going to charge anyway, then let's privatize and allow competition to the most…Read More cost-effective service to use (the victim has no choice in "purchasing" the services, so you are involuntarily sticking him with an inflated bill). I'm really not suggesting privatizing, but this double-charging is ridiculous. Why do they roll an engine PLUS the paramedic/ambulance to every minor or individual health call? You need a doctor, or to go to the hospital, send ONE paramedic/ambulance and that's it. The rest seems to be a ploy to gin up the numbers to get justification for the budget. Also, WHY ARE WE PAYING $234,000 PER YEAR average compensation as Dr. Zillman posted (http://unionwatch.org/the-average-orange-county-firefighters-total-compensation-is-234000-per-year)? There are always WAY more applicants than positions so they don't need this to generate demand. So let's halve the total comp (more at the higher ends and obese pensions) and we will still have more than enough qualified applicants to fill the ranks. And, let's also provide productive work during wait times (I had a friend who worked at a station where during all the wait times, everyone had their own moneymaking gig, like rebuilding engines, etc.). There must be a lot of valuable services needed by the community that could be done during wait times.

Shripathi Kamath March 27, 2014 at 03:42 pm
Ratón De Las Olas March 27, 2014 at 05:42 PM If you're going to charge anyway, then let's…Read More privatize and allow competition to the most cost-effective service to use (the victim has no choice in "purchasing" the services, so you are involuntarily sticking him with an inflated bill). I'm really not suggesting privatizing, but this double-charging is ridiculous. ___________________________________________________ You can simply argue that we are paying too much in taxes as it is and that this should be covered by those taxes. That is fine, but then it is just an argument that taxes are too high. Unrelated to this. Your basic choices were a. Raise the taxes for everyone just a little to cover the extra cost of providing this service over previous years., b. Assess a separate fee for this service (or a variation like whatever Moorlach proposed) so that only those who avail it pay, or c. Don't pay them any more money, hell with their whining about increased costs. ___________________________________________________ Of course, c. would have been preferable, right? I mean why pay more for the same service you had previously? In fact, they should be making less not more, because a website says that they are making x amount and x is obviously too much. (common sense?). But leaving that aside (since that would require back up measures in place already if there were a strike), between a. and b.—and some may not understand what "between a. and b." means—why is b. intrinsically worse? ___________________________________________________ As to the other scheme "So let's halve the total comp (more at the higher ends and obese pensions) and we will still have more than enough qualified applicants to fill the ranks. And, let's also provide productive work during wait times (I had a friend who worked at a station where during all the wait times, everyone had their own moneymaking gig, like rebuilding engines, etc.). There must be a lot of valuable services needed by the community that could be done during wait times." ___________________________________________________ This is something I suggest best done by voting for the right candidate. I mean who would not love a candidate who will do exactly that. Assuming of course he or she and her colleagues do not rack up costly legal fees breaking existing contracts, lose the service and hope that the theory actually works where you do get just as qualified candidates for half the price with no chance of advancement since if they get more expensive, like ask for raises, another halving is in the cards. Why? Because lots of great applicants exist for that job and experienced or not, they can all do that same job. Out with the old, in with the new. ___________________________________________________ Speaking of idle time being used for community services, should we do this for police and sheriff services as well? They too can, between catching criminals, perhaps pick up my laundry?

Those who want to minimize use of fossil fuels, I am with you. But it seems you have the wrong approach. I also agree with those who are in favor of fracking. How to reconcile the diametrically opposed views? You must control population, you must control utilization, control waste, and the rest will come naturally. No demand will lead to no fracking, peacefully. Those who oppose being exposed to second hand smoke, are also the ones that spew out the most pollution into the air by driving huge SUV's for miles and miles daily, negating their goal and seem disingenuous. Same with a host of other issues. On that of that they create a hypochondriacal society, who ask for more and more health care, and then wonder why health care prices keep going up, and blame Hospitals or Drs. or any one "else". None of us are perfect nor is whatever we espouse.
