As the Phillies opened spring training, I saw 22 guys as sure things to make the opening day roster. They were:
Hitters |
Pitchers |
1 | Howard | Hamels |
2 | Utley | Myers |
3 | Rollins | Kendrick |
4 | Burrell | Moyer |
5 | Victorino | Eaton |
6 | Werth | Lidge |
7 | Ruiz | Gordon |
8 | Feliz | Madson |
9 | Jenkins | Romero |
10 | Dobbs | |
11 | Coste | |
12 | Bruntlett | |
13 | Taguchi |
Of that group of hitters I think all 13 are still locks to be on the roster when the season begins. Taguchi is the only guy I question at all and he's been on fire this spring, hitting 415/545/529 in 17 at-bats.
That's a full roster of hitters unless the Phils go with 14.
Of the nine pitchers, Hamels, Kendrick, Eaton and Gordon have all struggled badly, but there's close to zero chance Hamels and Gordon don't start the season on the roster. As badly as he's pitched, Kendrick's hold on his spot in the rotation seems solid unless things get worse for him, which is pretty hard to imagine. If Eaton isn't on the roster on opening day he'll be on the DL. Romero has only thrown one official spring inning, Lidge none. Moyer, Madson and Myers have pitched well.
Eaton and Lidge both seem to be question marks for the opening day roster. Lidge because of the knee surgery and Eaton because of the back problems in combination with the 15.75 ERA (fourth best in the Phils rotation). I would guess that both still make the opening day roster. That leaves us with 22.
Just about everyone says that Chad Durbin is a lock for the tenth pitching slot. Here's what Chad Durbin has done so far:
Ratio |
Chad Durbin |
5.0 |
7.20 |
1.20 |
Opponents are hitting .286 against him, but if he really was in when spring training started I don't think he's pitched himself out. If he's the tenth pitcher, that makes 23.
If the Phils are going to carry 14 hitters, the 14th will almost certainly be Helms or Snelling. Here's what they have done so far:
Helms |
5-for-23 |
217/280/261 |
Snelling |
4-for-17 |
235/316/294 |
Helms has just been miserable. Snelling started camp as a longer shot than Helms and hasn't been much better. At this point I would guess that Snelling is just about out of the picture with Helms still a possibility, especially depending on the injury status of Lidge and Eaton as the season begins.
If you assume that Chad Durbin is the tenth pitcher, Lidge and Eaton both start the year on the active roster and the Phils don't carry a 14th hitter, that leaves two pitchers who would likely come from this group:
Ratio |
C Condrey | 7.1 | 4.91 | 1.23 |
F Castro | 7.0 | 5.14 | 1.43 |
JD Durbin | 9.1 | 9.64 | 2.36 |
F Rosario | 8.2 | 1.04 | 0.92 |
S Youman | 6.2 | 5.40 | 1.65 |
T Blackley | 7.2 | 8.22 | 1.70 |
G Knotts | 3.0 | 0.00 | 1.00 |
V Darensbourg | 4.0 | 2.25 | 1.00 |
If you think about the guys who have helped and hurt themselves the most since spring training began, I think you would have to say that Rosario is the guy who has opened the most eyes while JD Durbin and Blackley are the pair that came in with a real opportunity to make the team but have hurt their chances.
I still think the Phillies need a second lefty in their pen. I see them as needing one pitcher from the group of lefties (Castro, Youman, Blackley and Darensbourg) and one from the group of righties (Condrey, JD Durbin, Rosario and Knotts). Rosario is out of options and has been pitching great. I see him as the pick from the righties with Condrey close behind. The lefties are harder. In limited action, Darensbourg has been the least bad, but I think he came into camp as a long shot to win a roster spot. I don't feel real comfortable about, but if I'm going to guess again I'd still take Castro. There's also a good chance, as this article suggests, that the second lefty in the pen will be a player not currently in the organization.
That would make their opening day roster:
Hitters (13): Howard, Utley, Rollins, Feliz, Burrell, Victorino, Jenkins, Werth, Ruiz, Bruntlett, Dobbs, Coste, Taguchi
Pitchers (12): Hamels, Myers, Kendrick, Moyer, Gordon, Lidge, Madson, Romero, Eaton, Chad Durbin, Castro, Rosario
My most recent guess was on February 13. I had JD Durbin as the last pitcher instead of Rosario.
Last night the Phils lost to the Reds 6-1 to fall to 4-10 in spring training.
Ryan Madson got the start for the Phils and went three innings, allowing a run on solo home run to Jerry Hairston. Madson walked one and allowed three hits. Castro was next and he allowed two runs on five hits over two runs. Both of the runs scored on a two-run homer by Scott Hatteberg. Blackley followed Castro and struck out five over three innings, but allowed two runs on two hits and two walks to puff his ERA to 8.22. Both of the runs he allowed came on a two-run shot by Craig Tatum. Condrey pitched the ninth and allowed a run on two hits.
Offensively the Phillies lineup featured basically all the Phillies regulars with Dobbs at DH. They scored one run on five hits, all singles, and a walk. Dobbs was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ruiz 1-for-3 with a walk. Utley was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts to drop his spring average to .214. Jayson Werth played center for the Phils, which is just great. I really hope the Phils see Werth as a viable option in center behind Victorino — he's by far a better hitter than Taguchi or Bruntlett. I believe he can handle the position defensively. He doesn't have a lot of innings there, but in the innings he's played the numbers are good.
The Phils play the Reds again tonight.
The Phillies offered Lincoln Holdzkom back to the Red Sox, who refused him, making him a free agent. That may help create room on the 40-man roster for Benson, who can opt out of his contract on March 25 if he's not on the roster.
This article says that 1) Lidge hopes to be able to pitch in a game next week 2) Eaton felt good in a bullpen session and will pitch in a minor league game on Saturday 3) Benson will throw in a minor league game today and 4) Hamels didn't pitch in a minor league game yesterday because he has the flu.
Moyer will start the third game of the season for the Phils, Kendrick the fourth. Whether or not Kendrick can get anyone out is going to be a lot more interesting than whether he's the third starter or the fourth.
This suggests that Kyle Lohse is being pursued by the Cardinals, Giants and Rangers. This suggests that Lohse may get a one-year deal worth less than $5 million. The Phillies have big problems with their pitching, in the rotation and in the pen. If they had an opportunity to sign Lohse to a one-year deal worth around $5 million and didn't do it that would be really disappointing.

New Second Amendment Case as a Human Rights Case

Instead, the matter is left to my judgment. My decision, after considering all the material you have submitted, is that it would not be in the best interest of marine safety or security to initiate the endorsement you have applied for."CAUSE OF ACTION: When there are no federal laws or regulations concerning the Second Amendment rights of U.S. merchant seamen in intrastate, interstate or maritime travel as admitted by the U.S. Coast Guard is the Coast Guard obligated by the Oath of Office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States also obligated to support and defend the Second Amendment rights of U.S. merchant seaman? Did the U.S. Coast Guard have the discretion to use personal judgment (i.e., political bias?) to deny my Second Amendment application when there were no federal laws or regulations to base the denial upon or was the Coast Guard required to grant my application as a ministerial duty under the Oath of Office's obligation to support and defend the Second Amendment when there were no federal laws or regulations to rely upon? NOTE: October 2, 2002 Letter from NRA Attorney Robert Dowlut stating: [download257.mediafire[DOT]com/djyynytcqgig/jryuhznyjbo/NRA_ROBERT_DOWLUT_2002_REFUSAL_LETTER[DOT]pdf] "We decline your invitation to become involved in your pro se litigation."That was then, this is now! DERIVATIVE CAUSES OF ACTION: In my original lawsuit, Hamrick v. President Bush, U.S. District Court for DC, No. 02-1435, Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle dismissed my case with prejudice: On July 18, 2002, petitioner filed a pro se Petition for A Writ of Mandamus, requesting this Court, inter alia, to compel the President of the United States to protect the constitutional rights of sailors in the U.S. Merchant Marine to carry handguns while ashore in the United States, to strike various federal statutes and regulations restricting individuals' right to transport firearms across state lines on the grounds that they violate the Second, Ninth, and Thirteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, and to compel the U.S. Coast Guard to approve petitioner's application for "National Open Carry Handgun" endorsement on his Merchant Marine document. Petitioner has not served a complaint and summons on any of the parties he has named as respondents, seeking instead to use a petition-show cause order approach for the resolution of his grievances. Regardless of whether such an approach is appropriate in light of Rule 81(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is clear that petitioner cannot satisfy the stringent standards for mandamus relief and therefore that his petition must be dismissed.MY ADVANTAGE NOW: IN REBUTTAL TO JUDGE ELLEN SEGAL HUVELLE'S ". . . no court has ever so much as suggested that the Thirteenth Amendment confers any right to bear arms, and it is entirely fanciful to suggest that its prohibition of involuntary servitude somehow unambiguously requires the overturning of a whole variety of gun control legislation." Mark Tushnet, Two Essays on District of Columbia v. Heller, Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 08-17 (forthcoming in the Ohio State Law Journal) The first of these companion essays, "Heller and the New Originalism," forthcoming in the Ohio State Law Journal, argues that the new originalism, as exemplified in Heller, does not avoid the general kinds of difficulties associated with the old originalism, at least to the extent that the new originalism is defended as providing, in Justice Scalia's terms, a solid, rock-hard Constitution. It describes several difficulties with the new originalism as displayed in Heller, including the assumption that meanings are stable over long periods of time, the possibility that meanings of constitutional terms are contested at the time the terms are inserted into the Constitution, and the difficulty that meanings are necessarily indexed to the conditions under which words are used. The second essay, "Heller and the Perils of Compromise," forthcoming in the Lewis & Clark Law Review, describes the ways in which the absolutist rhetoric about the appropriate method of constitutional interpretation that predominates in Justice Scalia's majority opinion in Heller is in tension with the asserted presumptive constitutionality of numerous gun regulations, and argues that "interest-balancing" of the sort Justice Scalia criticizes is inevitable in constitutional interpretation, even within Justice Scalia's assertedly non-balancing approach. It speculates that the compromises embedded in Heller make it likely that the decision will unravel, leading either to quite robust restrictions on gun regulation or, more likely, a quite weak Second Amendment. I suggest that the Heller decision may be for the Second Amendment what early decisions were for the so-called Federalism and Takings Revolutions: decisions that promised real change in prevailing constitutional doctrine, but that failed to deliver on the promise [papers.ssrn[DOT]com/sol3/papers.c...act_id=1189494] Note the last sentence in Mark Tushnet's, Heller and the Perils of Compromise: "Culture wars produce repeated battles in the courts and symbolic victories and defeats there, but permanent victory comes from developments elsewhere, which then yield real rather than symbolic decisions by the courts."Elsewhere? A Regulatory War What about a "Regulatory War" from a U.S. Merchant Seaman's point of view? What about applying the Second Amendment to regulations for the supression of piracy such as 33 U.S.C. § 383. Resistance of Pirates by Merchant Vessels and 33 C.F.R. § 104.220 Company or Vessel Personnel with Security Duties and 33 C.F.R. § 104.230 Drill and exercise requirements.? There is an argument that the U.S. Government regulations requiring seamen to perform security duties under Homeland Security directives yet denying seamen their Second Amendment rights to personal security and armed self-defense presents questions of government liability for personal injuries or deaths resulting from the performance of security duties. There is also an argument that such mandatory duties without proper recognition of Second Amendment or Ninth Amendment rights may stand as violations of the "involuntary servitude" clause of the Thirteenth Amendment prohibition of slavery. Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 417, 450-451 (1857): "The legislation of the States therefore shows, in a manner not to be mistaken, the inferior and subject condition of that race at the time the Constitution was adopted, and long afterwards, throughout the thirteen States by which that instrument was framed; and it is hardly consistent with the respect due to these States, to suppose that they regarded at that time, as fellow-citizens and members of the sovereignty, a class of beings whom they had thus stigmatized; whom, as we are bound, out of respect to the State sovereignties, to assume they had deemed it just and necessary thus to stigmatize, and upon whom they had impressed such deep and enduring marks of inferiority and degradation; or, that when they met in convention to form the Constitution, they looked upon them as a portion of their constituents, or designed to include them in the provisions so carefully inserted for the security and protection of the liberties and rights of their citizens. It cannot be supposed that they intended to secure to them rights, and privileges, and rank, in the new political body throughout the Union, which every one of them denied within the limits of its own dominion. More especially, it cannot be believed that the large slaveholding States regarded them as included in the word citizens, or would have consented to a Constitution which might compel them to receive them in that character from another State. For if they were so received, and entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police [60 U.S. 393, 417] regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own safety. It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, and inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State."The Dred Scott case is the origin of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. That in itself would imply a Second Amendment right to "openly" keep and bear arms in intrastate, interstate, and maritime travel for the U.S. merchant seaman (civilian sailor)! Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 states, in part: "That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.DECLARATION: National Open Carry Handgun under the Second Amendment and the Ninth Amendment is "Actual Freedom!" The U.S. Coast Guard is a "naval authority." On April 19, 2002, Partiots Day, the U.S. Coast Guard denied my application for a "non-existent" endorsement on my Merchant Mariner's Document to read "National Open Carry Handgun" resulting from federally required "small arms" training as an "Able Seaman" as a prerequisite for employment aboard U.S. Government vessels under 46 U.S.C. § 7306(a)(3). Under the Collective Right of the State interpretation Judge Huvelle said of my case: "petitioner's claims appear largely without merit." Under the Heller interpretation [3w.supremecourtus[DOT]gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290[DOT]pdf] my case does, in fact and law, has merit to proceed to a civil jury trial under the Seventh Amendment right to a civil jury trial under the Common Law. HELLER AND HUMAN RIGHTS SCALIA'S OPINION IN HELLER: PAGE 9-10. FOOTNOTE 7: ". . . W.Duer, Outlines of the Constitutional Jurisprudence of the United States 3132 (1833) (with reference to colonists' English rights: "The right of every individual to keep arms for his defence, suitable to his condition and degree; which was the public allowance, under due restrictions of the natural right of resistance and self-preservation")Scalia's use of the terms "natural right" and "inherent right" by definition is the same as "human right." Because of these facts I cited the VIENNA CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF TREATIES 1969 and the VIENNA CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF TREATIES BETWEEN STATES AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OR BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS 1986 to claim that Heller is a "fundamental change of circumstances" (Article 62 of both Vienna Conventions) for the "emergence of a new peremptory norm of general international law" ("jus cogens"), (Article 64 of both Vienna Conventions) for the "right to life" provisions in international human rights treaties through the treaty clause in Article II, Section 2 of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is a human right under the AMERICAN DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MAN in my letter to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in support of my human rights complaint against the United States. This is the basis for both my Second Amendment case at the U.S. District Court for DC and my human rights complaint against the United States at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Now! I need your grassroots support by promoting the merits of my case to the NRA, the SAF, Gun Owners of America, JPFO, Second Amendment Sisters, and every other Second Amendment advocacy group.

Former ACORN Director Gets $445 Mil From U.S. Treasury
Sign Up for Updates
The Obama Administration has given a former director at the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) nearly half a billion dollars to offer "struggling" Illinois homeowners mortgage assistance, a Judicial Watch investigation has found.
It means the ACORN official (Joe McGavin) will go from operating a corrupt leftist community group that's banned by Congress from receiving federal funding to controlling over $445 million in U.S. taxpayer funds. The money is part of a $7.6 billion Treasury Department program to help the "unemployed or substantially underemployed" make their mortgage payments.
In this case, JW found that a subcomponent of the state-run Illinois Housing Development Authority, known as the Illinois Hardest Hit Program, received a generous $445,603,557 Treasury infusion. The Obama Administration established Hardest Hit in 2010 to provide targeted aid to families in states hit hardest by the economic and housing market downturn, according to its website.
In early 2011 McGavin was appointed as director of Hardest Hit. Before that he was director of counseling for ACORN Housing in Chicago and operations manager for a Chicago ACORN offshoot called Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA). His strong ties to ACORN make him a suspect candidate to handle such a huge amount of taxpayer dollars.
The Obama-tied community organization supposedly shut down after a series of exposés about its illegal activities, including fraudulent voter registration drives and involvement in the housing market meltdown. Read all about it in Judicial Watch's special report, "The Rebranding of ACORN." The legal scandals led Congress to pass a 2009 law banning federal funding for ACORN, which for years enjoyed a huge flow of taxpayer dollars to promote its various leftwing causes.
The Obama Administration has violated the congressional ACORN funding ban, however. Last summer Judicial Watch uncovered records that show ACORN got tens of thousands of dollars in grants to "combat housing and lending discrimination." The money came via Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which awarded a $79,819 grant to AHCOA.
In addition to violating the ACORN funding ban, the grant was astounding because federal investigators had previously exposed fraud by the same Florida-based ACORN/AHCOA affiliate. HUD's inspector general found that the group "inappropriately" spent more than $3.2 million in grants that were supposed to be used to eliminate lead poisoning in its housing program.

It's so much worse than this. IHFA has been a Rezko/Obama/ Davis/ Combine cesspool for years. This is just a new and completely outrageous chapter in this corrupt organization's ugly history.

Subpoenas probe deals by Obama ex-boss and Daley pal Davis, plus Rezko, Cellini
February 1, 2009BY TIM NOVAK Staff email@example.com
A federal grand jury has subpoenaed records on dozens of low-income housing projects built over the last 30 years by indicted businessman William F. Cellini, convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko and City Hall insider Allison S. Davis.The mountain of documents the grand jury wants from the Illinois Housing Development Authority includes two projects in which President Obama has acknowledged playing a minor role. Both of those projects involved Rezko, a former fund-raiser for Obama. One of them included Davis, who was once Obama's boss at a small law firm.
Allison Davis, pictured in 2003, has yet to start work on a high-rise for low-income seniors approved by the Illinois Housing Development Authority five years ago. Records on the project have been subpoenaed.
A federal grand jury also has demanded that the Illinois Housing Development Authority turn over records on a dozen other people:
* Nicholas Hurtgen, a former investment banker awaiting trial on corruption charges.
* Brian Hynes, a lobbyist who once represented the state agency.
* Chris Kelly, a close friend and adviser of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
* Mark Kirincich, president of Commonwealth Realty Advisors, a company started by William Cellini.
* Robert Kjellander, a lobbyist, Republican Party heavyweight and close Cellini pal.
* Milan Petrovic, a lobbyist and Blagojevich buddy.
* Paul Rosenfeld, an IHDA lobbyist and Blagojevich insider.
* Marvin Traylor, a lobbyist and Cellini associate.
* John Wyma, a lobbyist and longtime Blagojevich associate.
* Kelly King Dibble, former IHDA executive director and relative of President Obama's adviser Valerie Jarrett.
* Darren Collier, an ex-IHDA staffer.
* Michael Todd, an ex-IHDA staffer.
The grand jury is the same panel that's investigating alleged corruption under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.It issued the subpoena Sept. 29, 2008, newly released records show.
Four months later, IHDA officials are still gathering the documents, memos, e-mails and other records involving "more than dozens" of low-income housing projects funded by the state agency, said IHDA attorney Mary Kenney. "It's a very large production," said Kenney.
Cellini — a powerful Republican Party figure ever since he served as transportation secretary under then-Gov. Richard Ogilvie in the late 1960s — has been getting deals at IHDA since 1976, when James R. Thompson was elected governor.
Cellini's companies have gotten more than $90 million in loans from IHDA, the Chicago Sun-Times has reported. New Frontier — one of his companies — has built or managed thousands of apartments paid for by the state agency. Among them: Lake Shore Plaza, 445 E. Ohio, which is the only Cellini project specifically mentioned in the subpoena.
Cellini, 73, of Springfield, is awaiting trial on federal charges that he tried to extort Hollywood movie producer Tom Rosenberg to make campaign contributions to Blagojevich in exchange for state pension business. According to Rosenberg's testimony at Rezko's trial last year, the scheme was hatched in a meeting of Cellini, Rezko, Davis and Blagojevich's close friend Chris Kelly.
Attorneys for Cellini, Rezko and Davis didn't return calls seeking comment.
Rezko was convicted of wide-ranging corruption involving state government deals and has been cooperating with federal investigators.
Rezko, 53, got his first deal from IHDA after he helped Jim Edgar's successful campaign for governor in 1991. Rezko got the funding after hiring Cellini's partner, Robert Kjellander, to lobby the state.
In all, Rezko got more than a dozen deals from IHDA, often with the help of Davis' law firm, Davis Miner Barnhill, a small firm that specialized in helping developers get government funding for low-income housing.
Obama was a lawyer with the Davis firm. The president has said he did six hours of legal work in 1995 on one of the deals now under scrutiny by the grand jury, helping Rezko and his business partners — Bishop Arthur Brazier and the Rev. Leon Finney — turn an abandoned nursing home in Hyde Park into low-income apartments.
Six years later, Rezko's company stopped paying the mortgage. IHDA foreclosed on the property in 2001, as Rezko's low-income housing empire began to collapse, falling into physical and financial ruin.
Davis has long been one of Mayor Daley's top allies in the African-American community. Davis left the law firm in 1996 to become a developer, getting IHDA funding for four projects.
Among those was a senior citizen building he and Rezko built at 4801 S. Cottage Grove, just outside the Illinois Senate district Obama then represented. Though the project was outside his district, Obama wrote letters in 1998 to IHDA and city officials, urging them to give Davis and Rezko government funding for the project. Obama has said he didn't remember writing the letters, which he has called "form letters" sent out by a staff member.
Five years ago, when former Rezko employee Kelly King Dibble ran IHDA under Blagojevich, the agency agreed to give Davis as much as $11 million to build Cleveland Tower, a high-rise for low-income seniors. Davis has yet to begin construction on the project at West Chicago Avenue and Cleveland, for which IHDA has given him a two-year extension.
Cleveland Tower is the only Davis project named in the federal subpoena. It's being developed by Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners, a company that listed the mayor's nephew Robert Vanecko among its principals in documents it filed seeking government funding, the Sun-Times has reported. The mayor's office and a Vanecko spokesman have said that Vanecko merely did consulting work for the company.

Well….didn't the Bush administration help the struggling Corporations with a massive bailout?? I'll bet not one of you commentators jumped up and down about that. It is rumored that the Corporations partied the night away laughing all the way to the bank!
The Wall Street bankers and corporations were even worse than ACORN.
Anytime money is spent to help the struggling 99% it then become a corruption issue.
The pot calling the kettle black. -
Congress did put ACORN out of business. This is just another end run around Congress.
Excuse me – I guess there is a way to stop this and put Acorn out of business. Election time! Coming soon. If people realize how much good all this wasted money would have done if used by people with a concience they'll vote Obama and his crew out. Election time coming soon!
I can hardly believe this! What is it going to take to stop this. Do we really believe this is what this money is for or going to be used for? There has to be a way to put a halt to this.
my question is, who is getting the other 7+ BILLION???
Hey Mr President, since you're giving out all this money would you mind sending me like 100,000 dollars? I've been unemployed for over a year simply because no one will hire me. (Since after all its nothing compared to 1/2 a billion right?) :D
1) Where in the hell is the Congressional oversight on this theft of the U.S. treasury?
2) Why isn't this Gavin guy in jail for what he did at ACORN?
3) Why is this government making mortgage payments for anyone, even "struggling" Illinois homeowners ??

Race, crime, and the lawA comprehensive, provocative examination of the embattled crossroads at which race relations in America intersect the criminal-justice system. In this powerfully reasoned, lucidly written work -- destined to be in its own way as controversial as The Bell Curve -- Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy takes on a highly complex issue as no one has before. Kennedy not only uncovers the long-standing failure of the justice system to protect blacks from criminals, he also engages the debate over the wisdom and legality of using racial criteria in jury selection; analyzes the responses of the legal system to accusations that appeals to racial prejudice have rendered countless trials unfair; examines the idea that, under certain circumstances, members of one race are statistically more likely to be involved in crime than members of another; and probes allegations that blacks are victimized on a widespread basis by racially discriminatory prosecutions and punishments. Free of ideological biases, Kennedy reveals difficult truths about race, crime, and law in the United States. Few books published this year will be as path-breaking and as important. |

Duane Allman
Duane Allman
Duane Allman went from musical unknown to one of rock's most revered guitar virtuosos, only to die a legend, all in about 24 months. He barely had time to establish his legacy, much less his name -- two finished studio albums with his band, a live album, and lots of shows with them (some of which, off radio, are starting to surface on bootlegs), and session work in which he played behind other artists, along with songs off of a busted solo album project. The bulk of his reputation and legacy rests, understandably, with the Allman Brothers Band, but there were enough outside projects to justify a pair of anthology collections. Either one is the place to start musically, with the first set also containing a wonderful extended essay on his life and career, but serious fans will obviously want the entire albums from which a lot of those tracks, even the session work, were pulled. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

A haunting novel of one man's fatal mistake, a guide to the impeccable style of Frenchwomen, and more riveting reads.
To Be Sung Underwater
Judith Whitman is midlife, midmarriage, mid-child-rearing; her husband, Malcolm, may or may not be having an affair, and Judith fears that she hasn't "properly inhabited her role as a mother." So she goes out one day, creates a fake identity, opens a secret bank account, rents a storage unit, and sets up a replica of her childhood bedroom. She also buys a secret cell phone that rings "Claire de Lune" and embarks on a plan involving her teenage love, Willy C. Blunt, a boy whose photograph she still carries in her wallet. Her actions are curious, even to herself.
So opens Tom McNeal's To Be Sung Underwater (Little, Brown), part coming-of-age story and part tale of long-lost love. The novel juxtaposes Judith's current life as a film editor in California with the time she spent as a teenager in Rufus Sage, Nebraska, living with her professor father after her parents' separation. Past and present merge when Judith hires a private detective to find her man-that-got-away, the rough but sweet Blunt, who believes "There really isn't anything of importance except maybe who gets handed your heart and what they do with it." This lovely novel is quiet and smart, drawing you so deeply into the characters that the ending might just leave you coming up for air. — Gale Walden

The Learning Community proposal that would have paid two Omaha consultants $1,000 a day didn't even get a vote at Thursday's council meeting.
Lorraine Chang, chairwoman of the Learning Community Council, pulled the topic from the agenda after hearing concerns from citizens, teachers and other council members throughout the day.
A state senator also questioned the council's planned actions.
Chang said she wanted to allow more time to hear from the public and council members before voting on hiring former Omaha Public Schools interim Superintendent Virginia Moon and an Omaha doctor to help superintendents develop an early childhood education plan for the Learning Community.
Members of the public at the meeting Thursday agreed with Chang's move. Eight people spoke out against the idea, all taking issue with the use of consultants and their cost, not early childhood education.
Some council members also questioned the proposal's cost and the process taken to bring it to the council.
The topic will now go back to the 11 Omaha-area superintendents, who will formally decide what's next, Chang said.
The contract would have paid Moon and Omaha pediatrician Laura Jana up to $72,000 each for 72 days of work. The two would work with local superintendents to create the plan.
Moon said after the meeting she's still interested in helping if she's needed.
Learning Community CEO Ted Stilwill has said the pay was reasonable considering the task and the experience of Moon and Jana.
The expansion plan will lay out how to spend between $2�million and $3 million a year to serve children in the Omaha area with high concentrations of poverty.
Stilwill has called Moon the "ideal facilitator" because of her experience working with metro districts, some of which he said still aren't entirely cooperative under the 4�-year-old education entity.
Jana's pay was a bargain, he had said, considering her background. She is an author and owner of the Primrose School of Legacy child care center in Omaha. She also served as a consultant to noted pediatrician Benjamin Spock and co-founded The Dr. Spock Company, one of the first online health sites.
But citizens and council members weren't as convinced.
Bill Sole, a former OPS custodial worker, questioned why district officials couldn't handle forming the plan.
"And the idea that you could pay a person $1,000 a day is so far out of my realm of understanding," he said, "I'm not sure I could get my arms around it."
Others, including Mike Kennedy, a Millard school board member, also wondered why current administrators couldn't handle this task.
Stilwill later said district administrators have a lot of educational experience, but they don't have much experience working with families of 1- or 2-year-olds. District administrators also don't have the resources to handle the additional workload, he said.
State Sen. Jim Smith, who sponsored the law that gave the Learning Community the authority to expand its early childhood efforts, questioned the council's procedures.
Nebraska lawmakers last session gave the council explicit authority to fund early childhood education programs for low-income children.
Lawmakers further directed the superintendents of the 11 member districts to submit a plan for administering such programs.
Smith said the law goes into effect Sept. 6.
The committee hasn't yet submitted a plan. "I do believe there's a process to follow to be able to fund these programs," Smith said.
He took no issue with the cost or the proposed hiring of Moon and Jana.
Kevin Riley, Gretna Public Schools superintendent and liaison for the superintendents committee, has said the superintendents talked informally about the plan and favored having Moon facilitate the project.
Riley said the project would require too much time of the superintendents to do the job right. They will be busy with the start of school, he said.
Mike Pate, Millard school board member who serves on the council, also said the cost worried him but not as much as the process.
Because the superintendents committee hadn't submitted a plan, he said, the Learning Community was moving too quickly and trying to undermine the law.
At Thursday's meeting, Stilwill agreed it might have made more sense to talk to the superintendents committee collectively rather than just a few of the district leaders.
Chang said they had no intention of speeding the proposal past the council.
She said the council will continue to get updates on the plan. "It's too important to not get it right."

'Cancun'-bound Taylor Lautner has a backup plan: personal trainer
The word is out that Taylor Lautner is planning a trip to Cancun, Mexico.
But it's not a vacation.
Summit just picked up "Cancun," an action suspense flick as a starring vehicle for Lautner, which may be produced by him and his dad, Dan Lautner.
The story is about nerdy college kid who travels with a girl to Cancun on a break.
there, the girl and her friends are taken hostage by a drug cartel of
vampires and he is forced to save them by turning into a werewolf.
But the story will capitalize on Lautner's impressive martial arts talent, which many of us saw on "Saturday Night Live." We were pretty impressed by that upside down, backwards leap.
But just in case "Cancun" or his new "Max Steel" superhero flick don't work out, Taylor has reportedly gotten himself qualified as a fitness instructor, He's even thinking about opening a gym!
Very smart move, Taylor. It's always good to have a backup plan. Although we don't think you need it.

Annual holiday concerts feature SHS choir and other special guests
Published on Wed, Dec 3, 2008 by
Gazette Staff

The Sequim Christmas Chorus, now in its 24th season, is one of Sequim's many joyous community endeavors.
Since 1984, the concerts have marked the beginning of the holiday season and provided a special time to rejoice and share the wonder of Christmas.
This year, the chorus is singing with a special purpose - to raise funds for Sequim Community Aid. Following the theme "Gloria!" director Gary McRoberts has designed an inspiring program of sacred music. The 70-voice chorus will open each performance with the beautiful "Christmas Hymn (While By My Sheep)."
Other selections include "Hodie Christus Natus Est" (today Christ is born), which will be performed with a double chorus; "In the Bleak Mid-Winter" (with Sequim High School Select Choir Women); and "I Just Heard Some Good News" (with soloists Phil Langston and Rowan Kaufman).
The audience is invited to join the chorus in singing the "Carol Medley" and the ever-popular "Hallelujah Chorus."
John Erskine, an accomplished new member of
Sequim's talented music community, is accompanying the chorus. Since moving to Sequim, Erskine has returned - after 40 years - to performing on the piano. A retired high school band director, he also spent many years supervising public school fine arts programs in Connecticut and New York.
The holiday program also features the Sequim High School Select Choir at the Friday and Sunday performances, and Dungeness Transfer (from Olympic Peninsula Men's Chorus) at the Saturday performance.
At each concert, Karla Messerschmidt-Morgan will read "Following the Star," an excerpt from "One Incredible Moment" by Max Lucado.
The Sequim High School Brass Quintet will play in the lobby before the performances on Friday and Sunday, and Buttons and Bows, a cello and flute duo, will play before the Saturday performance.
In addition to directing the chorus since 2006, McRoberts accompanies, sings and teaches. He also directs the Olympic Peninsula Men's Chorus. He has more than 30 years experience directing high school, college, church and community choruses.
At the request of a number of attendees, both the evening and afternoon concerts will be performed earlier in the day than in previous years.
The purpose in founding the chorus was to bring local church choirs together and to put more emphasis on the true meaning of Christmas. In that spirit, the chorus will donate a portion of the proceeds to Sequim Community Aid, an organization that helps many people in the community.
The chorus is open to singers of all backgrounds, religions and levels of experience. Participating in the chorus does not require any auditions or fees. Rehearsals begin in September and the chorus disbands after giving the concerts. The chorus has no religious affiliation and is presented by the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.
For more information, contact chorus coordinator Julie Jackson by e-mailing
email@example.com or calling 683-1355.

For a bike with a lineage as race-bred and focused as the Suzuki GSX-R750, it's no small irony that the original superbike is something of a compromise. It has all the handling of the 600 and most of the usable power of the 1000. The result is a motorcycle that's near perfect on road or track. The Suzuki GSX-R750's handling ...

What a makeover! And just in time… As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

Mechanical properties contribute to the control of cell size, morphogenesis, development, and lifestyle of fungal cells [1,2,3,4]. Tip growth can be understood by a viscoplastic model, in which growth is derived by high internal turgor pressure and cell-wall elasticity [2,5]. To understand how these properties regulate growth in the rod-shaped fission yeast Schizosaccaromyces pombe, we devised femtoliter cylindrical polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchambers with varying elasticity as force sensors for single cells. By buckling cells in these chambers, we determine the elastic surface modulus of the cell wall to be 20.2 ± 6.1 N.m−1. By analyzing the growth of the cells as they push against the walls of the chamber, we derive force-velocity relationships and values for internal effective turgor pressure of 0.85 ± 0.15 MPa and a growth-stalling force of 11 ± 3 μN. The behavior of cells buckling under the force of their own growth provides an independent test of this model and parameters. Force generation is dependent on turgor pressure and a glycerol synthesis gene, gpd1+ (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase), and is independent of actin cables. This study develops a quantitative framework for tip cell growth and characterizes mechanisms of force generation that contribute to fungal invasion into host tissues.

My sister Debbie and I climbed Algonquin Peak, 2nd highest in NY State. The hike was somewhat challenging but the views at the top were worthwhile. We stopped at a delightful waterfall and darnk some pure mountain water (after filtering it of course). Algonquin has some of the best views for the amount of effort. It may be my favorite peak of all. I have been to its lofty summit three times now. The rock slides of Mt Colden are one of my favorite views ever. Then you turn the other way on Algonquin and you see Wallface, the tallest cliffs in the Adirondacks. | ||

I really love the summit on this mountain. However, the trip up is quite boring in my opinion. Plus, it takes on way too much traffic...even on a Monday! There were a couple of fun spots, but overall, it's a very rocky and the day I did it, slippery trip. The view from the summit is expansive and spectacular, but to tell you the truth, I enjoyed my trip up little Mount Jo better. Hey, what can I say. I really enjoy my solitude. | ||

I found this trip much easier that I expected, The trail is so well maintained and worn compaired to the routes up so many of the other "46er" summits it's much easier than it 5100' height would seem. The view is expansive but we were chased off the summit after about 15 minutes by approching thunderstorms (close). This and the side trip to Wright Peak took us about 6.5 hrs to complete. Very worthwhile summit. Made this trek with my 11 y/o son & 9 y/o daughter. As long as your in descent shape, it should pose no difficulties. | ||

I found this hike more difficult than Marcy though nursing s second degree sprain of my ankle didn't help. The day was slightly overcast but the views or Marcy and the rest of the Dacks around was excellent... All tolled the hike took about 4 hours and was a serious test at that time for my sea level lungs. | ||

Very wet! After the turn-off to Wright Peak, the trail gets interesting because there is still a lot of deep snow. Poles would probably be helpful. On top the visibility was fantastic but it was bone chilling cold, so we couldn't stay long. We found the descent easier in the snow.... very few rocks to hop. Not too crowded: we saw only a handful of people, all but one turned back or went up Wright Peak instead... totally alone at the summit, except for a small bird foraging for crumbs. We did Wright Peak, too (just a couple of small patches of snow there). One great hike! | ||

i climbed it from the Lodge in August of 95 in the middle of a storm where the temps dipped below 40 degrees near the summit (the temp at the lodge was a nice balmy 70). in 98 i agian climbed it from the lodge, this time in nice, but very windy weather. in 2000 i climbed it in the middle of a gale with 50 mph winds and heavy rain. Algonquin has great views, but i don't think the weather is ever nice on top. | ||

This is an excellent conditioning hike and for those of us in Eastern Canada easy to reach in one day. Climbed in december as well in 2002. Excellent day had trail to ourselves | ||

Baked Pork Chops with Apple Slices Recipe
A friend who raises pork shared this recipe with me. The lightly breaded chops with simple glazed apples on the side make a mouthwatering meal.
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 6 bone-in pork loin chops (1-1/2 inches thick and 8 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 jar (12 ounces) currant jelly
- 3 to 4 medium tart apples, thinly sliced
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Coat pork chops. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Add water to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
- In a large skillet, melt the jelly. Add apples. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes or until apples are tender, turning occasionally. Serve with pork chops. Yield: 6 servings.

The Poem (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
"She Walks in Beauty" is a short poem, consisting of three six-line stanzas. On the surface it is a fairly conventional description of a beautiful woman, evidently someone with whom Byron is acquainted. The poet does not identify her by name, indicate his relationship to her, or hint as to the occasion that brought them together. (Scholars have ferreted out these matters.) Even if such information is not essential to understanding the poem, it is surprising that Byron provides so little concrete detail about the actual appearance of the woman he is describing. He does not speak of her as tall or short, slender or statuesque; he does not tell his readers the color of her dress or the color of her eyes. In fact, at the end of the poem the only specific fact the reader knows is that she has black hair.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the lady has made a definite impression on the poet. To him, she is beautiful in the same way that "night" is beautiful, and, as he hastens to add, he means a particular kind of night, one of "cloudless climes and starry skies." There is no threat of a storm in this imagined landscape; there are no clouds to produce even a shower. Such a night is not really dark, for, as readers are told, the sky is filled with stars. Their light is soft and subdued; similarly, the dark lady has "tender" eyes, as unlike those of less subtle women as the light of a "starry" night is from that of "gaudy day."

Forms and Devices (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
Though Byron may have rebelled against tradition in other ways, his poems are generally conventional in form. "She Walks in Beauty" is no exception. It is written in standard iambic tetrameter, with alternating rhymes, a new set in each stanza. Metrically, the poem is quite predictable; there are none of the lilting anapestic variations so familiar in Byron's other works, but stately measures are appropriate for a woman who is herself so decorous. The masculine line endings and the use of end-stopped lines, alternating with lines which necessitate a pause, recall the neoclassical heroic couplet, a form Byron much admired. However, here there is no satire nor epigrammatic wit; instead, the purpose of the form is to ensure the slow progress of the poem, thus emphasizing the lady's dignity, her steadiness, and her self-control.
The poem is also interesting in the degree to which it is dominated by a single simile. Although after the first stanza the poet abandons explicit references to the night, throughout the poem he emphasizes the idea of perfect balance, not only between dark and light but also between thought and action, mind and heart.
Nevertheless, though "She Walks in Beauty" praises harmony, it has other implications as well, reminding one that, for all his neoclassical dedication to form and balance, Byron was, after all, a Romantic. To a degree, the images work to deny the poet's explicit statements, for although the pace of the poem is in keeping with its praise of tranquillity, its images stress movement and therefore the inevitability of change. Byron's lady is not posing, but walking. She is shown in motion, her hair waving, her "eloquent" face expressive as she responds to the world around her and to her own thoughts—sometimes with smiles, sometimes with blushes. These small alterations imply that just as the stars will move in the night sky and night itself turn to day, the lady will change. Only in the poem will she remain forever lovely and innocent.

State Privacy Protections
Historically, states have filled the gaps in the federal health privacy laws by enacting legislation that provides stronger privacy and security protections for sensitive information, such as mental health, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and genetic information. Since HIPAA was structured to provide a floor of protections, state laws providing more stringent protections for health information remain in effect.

Thank you so much, Andrea!! Magnolia tattoo must be so cool!!! mostly I've seen only rose or lotus tattoos! :D
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆… Whether it be words or stars, I only comment on work I genuinely like, to provide you highlighted visibility now and the opportunity for additional exposure later! ;-) A great piece... this is five star work!
So beautiful, Deepti! Where my husband grew up, the kids always knew the end of school was near when the magnolia trees would bloom (and the blooms were about the size of a paper plate)!
Thanks so much Beth, Aleksandra, SHIKI, & Shawn for your lovely comments!! :)) Shawn, I can understand such a lovely association... like blooming happiness! :D And how amazing is the size of these flowers.... & so beautiful too!! :)
Thank you so much again, Catherine! :)) It's really strange that both you & Sreetama mentioned the look of Georgia O'Keefe Painting in this image! I'm so flattered! :D
Thanks so much Luis, gwenola, and Esther, for your lovely comments!! :))
Thanks so much Luis, gwenola, and Esther, for your lovely comments!! :))
Well, I was just reading aBout her and I did a piece in her style, but it was the animal skull, not the flowers. I actually prefer her flowers to the skulls. You flower has the delicate nuances of color, light and shade that remind me of o'keefe.
Thanks so much again, Catherine, for coming back to comment! I really feel so honored that it reminded you of such a great artist! :))
Being from the South I do love a good magnolia blossom shot. I really adore the comp & processing on this, though!
That will be a great honor, Wondrous Sky! Thank you so much! I also love and admire your work! I have to yet work on a collab with Sreetama... after that we should definitely do one! :))
Thank you so much, Julia!! A very very Happy New Year to you too!! Sorry about the late reply... I'm on vacation in Hawaii right now! :D xo
Thanks so much Peter! It did have very smooth petals... wish I had one in porcelain too... would be awesome!! :))

Start up the sloping rock to the arete. Pass two breaks, where you can get small cams in the horizontals. Passing the second horizontal to gain the arete and the 1st bolt is the technical crux. With the 1st bolt clipped move up and find some holds on the left side of the arete which allow the 2nd bolt and easier climbing to be reached. With little trouble move on up to the anchors.
Left arete of the west face
small cams, 3 bolts and double bolt anchor.
Rebolted a few years ago the new bolts are located on the right side of the arete, unlike the old bolts which were on the left.

Creating real business value out of Cloud computing has been a major question for corporates, how to justify cloud computing to the business? Initially when cloud computing came up and the thoughts of moving your CRM, Email and Collaboration platforms online was all about cost and efficiency, reduce infrastructure costs, reduce energy costs, reduce License costs, reduce staffing cost, this were the key drivers for business to move some of their Legacy Applications as IT applications became more commodities-ed and SAAS (Software as a Service) was born. Any business exec could go online flush their credit cards and not need IT to come set him up, and you business was up and running, talk about efficiency. However this missed the mark as now serious business justifications needed to be made around cloud computing and not only just cost savings.
Then true to the Software industry, hardware was hot on the tail and creation of static state hard disk and Intel Atom processor creating better and more efficient ways to work online at low cost, net books moved laptops moved from US$ 1000 to US$ 300 on linux and battery life to die for- any business traveler would attest to the battery levels while on travel. Soon even software Giants like Microsoft were quickly falling in line and building more efficient OS on Windows 7 and extending XP sp3 to cope with demand, to run on intel atom processors and Laptops, serious efficiencies were being created, and work any where, collaborate anywhere was quickly catching fire.
Now with the cost cutting for business efficiency getting old, new business justifications needed to be put in place for users to move to the cloud. Software Giants and Cloud computing leaders have kept up pulse of innovation and the birth of PAAS (Platform as a Service) and IAAS(Infrastructure as a Service), and what we call cloud 2.0 has arrived. From Google to Microsoft PAAS is the new efficiency, Google pushing with its platform and enabling millions of corporate and organizations to build business Apps on Google App Engine and link them with Google Apps service on their cloud platform, Salesforce developed their own force.com and users could create their own applications and link them up with CRM, Microsoft and Windows Azure. IAAS is still evolving but its the new buzz word in the cloud with Microsoft Launching SQL Azure, reducing the need for users to look for infrastructure elsewhere but in the cloud, and Google coming up with its Big table to cater for database needs on the cloud.
When you look into the cloud their is only one reverberating business justification, what businesses have been trying to do on premise truly, but had not yet got it down truly and now can easily be done online. Business collaboration has been taken to a new high with developers being able to do greater integration of Applications without having businesses loose the proverbial tooth to implement them on their own. Microsoft has been slowly building towards this with its integration of Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 and all its other applications i.e. Office Communicator Server, Project Server (Project Management), Dynamics. However collaboration has been taken to a new level. Take a look at Salesforce and its integration with Google Apps, Facebook, Twitter and its very own Chatter, giving businesses a variety of tools through which to bring business collaboration while creating more value for its customers and driving up revenue. Google has already gone into integrating all its online Apps from buzz to blogger into offerings on the Google Apps platform giving businesses even more avenues to collaborate and bring in more customers.
I believe this new wave of online application integration along with PAAS and IAAS are building a new class of cloud services, integrating business applications with social media applications to bring greater business efficiencies in collaboration is what is truly cloud 2.0.
