NEW YORK NURSE: July/August 2011
The NYSNA Board of Directors has approved the following proposed bylaw amendments for presentation to the 2011 Voting Body.
New language is underscored.
Insert the following language at the end of current paragraph (a) so that the paragraph reads as follows:
1) A member is one:
a) who:
1) has been granted a license to practice as a registered nurse in at least one state, territory, possession or District of Columbia of the United States or is otherwise lawfully so entitled to practice and who does not have a license under suspension or revocation, or
2) is represented by NYSNA in the following all-professional collective bargaining units: Brooks Memorial Hospital, Peconic Bay Medical Center, and Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, and
b) whose application for membership has been accepted in accordance with association policy, and
c) who has paid the current dues and any other dues, fees, and financial obligations as required by current policy, and
d) who has not been suspended or expelled by this association.
[There are no changes to b), c) and d).]
Rationale: This amendment would give the 350 non-RN members of NYSNA's all-professional collective bargaining units full membership rights. Many of these LBU members occupy elected unit leadership positions and actively support the work and advancement of the E&GW program and the association. The non-RN members of these units assisted in the advancement of the nursing profession when they agreed to be represented by NYSNA. Management in the facilities would not allow the RNs to be organized by NYSNA unless all of the professional staff were organized. Managements' position was that the other professionals would not be willing to join a nurses' union. NYSNA prevailed in three facilities. Those non-RNs are now requesting full membership rights.
Proposed New Section 3. A member shall not hold more than one appointed position simultaneously unless the member's particular expertise is essential to more than one committee or council.
Renumber Current Section 4.
Proposed New Section 5. Simultaneous Service
A member shall not hold more than one appointed position simultaneously unless the member's particular expertise is essential to more than one committee or council.
Renumber Current Section 6.
Rationale (for proposed amendments to Articles VI and VII): The proposed language is taken from current board of directors policy on appointments. It is based on the belief that the interests of the association are best served if the maximum possible number of individuals participate in the affairs and activities of the association.
Proposed New Section 5.
Members shall be eligible to serve in only one elective position in NYSNA at any one time. Elective positions of NYSNA are: board of directors (officers and directors at large); nominating committee; election committee; executive committees of practice focus groups; Delegate Assembly; executive committee of the Congress of Local Bargaining Unit Leaders.
Rationale: To avoid inherent conflicts of interest, members should be limited to serving on only one of the stated elected bodies at a time.

I have the 12 inch paper pack that this goes with and I absolutely think it's the best design ever from Graphic 45. I also got the sticker sheet too so I have all of the extra pieces for now until they come out with more to go with this set. I sure hope that they do!
I love Graphic 45 and have found all of their products to be very well made~except for both of the Steampunk Spells Chipboard Tags. I've purchased 3 of the One tags and 2 of the Two tags and all of them have been cut improperly.
On some of the tags (mostly the top half of the sheets) the cut lines have actually come all the way into the designs on one side and off on the black background on the other side.
I recommend looking them over in person before purchasing.
Can't wait to use these. Great Quality.

Attorney: Pittsburgh hostage-taker was off meds
Wednesday - 10/17/2012, 10:28am  ET
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A defense attorney says his mentally ill client held a Pittsburgh businessman hostage last month because the suspect hadn't taken his medication and heard a crow and other voices telling him to do it.
The attorney, Blaine Jones, says 22-year-old Klein Michael Thaxton is back on his medication and is relieved nobody was hurt.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ( http://bit.ly/Tu4dWd) reported the comments Wednesday after a Pittsburgh district judge ordered Thaxton to stand trial on charges including terroristic threats and aggravated assault.
Police say Thaxton held the man at knifepoint inside a downtown office building on Sept. 21. During the ensuing standoff with police, investigators say Thaxton posted comments and updates to Facebook using his hostage's computer and smartphone.
Thaxton surrendered after more than five hours without hurting the man.

Polk County Republicans Want New State Party Leaders
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The state's largest county Republican organization is calling on the top two officials at the Iowa GOP to resign.
The Des Moines Register reports Wednesday that the Polk County GOP voted Tuesday night in favor of a resolution asking Iowa Republican Party Chairman A.J. Spiker and Co-Chairman David Fischer to resign. The resolution was approved by a 33 to 29 vote. The resolution states that the Polk GOP has no faith in the party leadership. It criticizes the party for conflicts over scheduling the 2014 state convention and caucuses. The Appanoose County GOP approved a similar resolution last week.

What's going on at LIFE?

Man o man ! There is now two
Man o man ! There is now two types of Life Tech rep, the good and the recyclable. The good are selling sequencers. I feel so bad for the legacy AB folks now on the gene ex side (or dark side)... ouch ! Nightmare ! I bet M.C. didn't explain that one when she said business as usual... What's going on at Ambion ? I don't see much coming out these days or is it in the usual Invitrogen destruction path.
Start your engine, they are looking at your run rate curves even before they calculated your new plan. If your post-yearly rate is not bad, you got another year to spare. If everyone around sucks, you will do some open coverage, work your ass off and then next year, as a reward, your manager will nix you of you are maxed out... even after a year of saving his ass. Ahhhh the beauty of a great system. Life Tech a great place to work !
Probably the usual middle
Probably the usual middle manager who got nervous. Now he-she can say that he has an open territory to cover his back for lackluster numbers. An old Invitrogen trick. Ever seen a middle manager or a country manager pay for bad numbers ? The great leadership culture of Invitrogen. Funny how it's only one way.
I would like to say out here
I would like to say out here that they fired, in a cowardly fashion might I add, our local sales rep. A man who went through a lot for Invitrogen and a good rep. Can't believe it. I certainly will be looking at other media and enzyme vendors. How can a manager can do this ?
So exactly why did you get fired?

read comment: I've seen some
read comment: I've seen some data from the Ion Torrent also (soon to be published). Quality and read length are certainly the most important area for them to improve, as the method (as of a month or two ago) was only getting about 67-long reads if you trimmed enough to get 1% error rates. The error rates shot up enormously towards the end of 100-long reads. I think that they can fix this in the next 6 months or so, and they are going to have to in order to stay competitive.

I'm impressed with the fact
I'm impressed with the fact that it doesn't exist yet and that the machine still needs reads to be trimmed to around 60 bp to have any value. Isn't the spec at 100 bp ? Can I return my machine, whatÈs the rule on that ?

To all the high-fivers on Life Link Marketing Innovation who thought this partity was the cleverest thing ever...when LIFE actually comes up with a marketing campaign that has not already been run by Apple, or Google, or name any other internet/electronic company, THEN you can post it on "Marketing Innovation". If you are just copying other companies's sh!t, create a group for marketing rip offs and leave the innovation site to all the people that at least attempt to be original.
Life Tech is the Charlie Sheen of sequencing... WINNING!
Eat that Illumina!
"Illumina have been lying and
"Illumina have been lying and taking low blows for years.
I'm pretty sure the last accuracy flyer i received from ILMN had solid 2 data on it...in 2011."
Maybe if someone could actually get published with a later SOLiD system ILMN wouldnL't have to use SOLiD 3 data.
Let's recap all the truth from ABI - SOLiD PI, Starlight, 300 Gb on SOLiD 4, PE reads, simplifying ePCR (if 900+ steps to 400+ steps is your idea of simplification), fractional use flowcells (well not really since you can only use them once)...lots of honesty flowing out of ABI there
As an employee of LT, I know
As an employee of LT, I know that I would never purchase an LT product unless I have no other choice. They cannot be trusted.
What does that ignorant reply
What does that ignorant reply think sample prep is?
With every sequencer you have to make a library. For a useful sequencer (HiSeq, not SOLiD) that library can go into a cBot for automated amplification on the flowcell. Effectively having the cBot also sequence is the MiSeq. The user experience is golden. You can try and make automated bridge amplification into sequencing sound like a bad thing. It shows you have never run a next gen sequencer. You must also think people love the EZ bead over the cBot.
You consider sample prep post library creation? The PGM experience can be a nightmare. Let me make plates and plates of emulsions for my 28 runs. What is that, at least 14 full 96-well plates that I have to prepare, run on the 5 hour PCR cycle (3 days or 70 hours of just PCR) , then spend hours breaking the emulsions and doing enrichment? All that just to get beads to load into the sequencer. I'd rather pipet in my library, hit start and go do more productive than being a Life emulsion bead slave.
Ignorant is thinking anyone would prefer that over simply loading a library into the sequencer. So what it takes the machine longer to sequence? At least it does millions of reads to the PGM's tens of thousands of reads. Illumina sequencing is a known quantity. Data off the PGM has not been peer reviewed to substantiate their crazy claims and stupid marketing schemes.
Hmm, cure cancer with emPCR and Q17? Sure sounds ignorant to me. The PGM is just a crappy 454 with better marketing. Good luck.
I think the rep really wanted
I think the rep really wanted that Rolex in a bad way... How cheezy is that ?
The rereply is totally
The rereply is totally ignorant. Sample prep is locked up on the Miseq during the run. Library prep is totally separate, and libraries are cake. Nextera takes forever to optimize anyways. There are much more reliable automation systems out there.
The Ion will be cranking out GB runs multiple times a day while the MiSeq is churning for 27hrs.
My Life Tech rep said that if
My Life Tech rep said that if I bought two PGMs now and they didn't hit their promised spec in six months when the MiSeq came out, that Life would take back my PGMs. They are confident they will blow away Illumina with both read length, output, and huge improvements in sample preparation and I totally believe they will.
I think the sample prep issue
I think the sample prep issue comment is totally ignorant.
You can make libraries for both instruments in parallel. Use Nextera for the Miseq and it can happen in 30 minutes.
Either way you need to make libraries independent of the machine. For the MiSeq, I can pipette in that library and hit go. The instrument does automate the cluster generation and sequencing but it is one smooth step.
The PGM takes the same library, and you do emulsification, emPCR, break the emulsions, enrich, bead count, huzzah! you now can pipet a sample into the machine and hit go.
Saying the MiSeq is locked up and you can't prep samples is again a very ignorant thing a Life Technology rep would tell a customer.
Actually, it about time LT
Actually, it about time LT marketing grew some balls. Illumina have been lying and taking low blows for years. why not see what LT can come up with? I'm pretty sure the last accuracy flyer i received from ILMN had solid 2 data on it...in 2011.
Because the you can do the
Because the you can do the sample prep while the PGM machine is running. And you can prepare PGM samples in parallel. The MiSeq sample prep is locked up when it is running.
Illumina MiSeq runs without
Illumina MiSeq runs without needing to do emPCR will all get done faster than PGM runs that each take days to prep. This ad with the two machines * two runs a day * 7 days = "28 runs per week" = a few weeks of sample prep. I wonder if they can also sell me a used car?
Interesting approach from
Interesting approach from Life, though I think this shows how desperate they are to get their machine out there before the (presumably higher quality) Illumina alternative hits the market.
The whole Apple vs PC angle doesn't really work though. Why do people buy the more expensive Apples instead of PCs? Because they are pleasurable to use and look and feel great.
On the other hand, the IT machine looks terrible, while the Miseq I saw at AGBT looked gorgeous, and should support a hugely more pleasurable user experience, if Ilumina's previous product offerings are anything to go by.
If Life are not careful, stuff like this ad, and GL going on TV saying that the IT can sequence whole chunks of your genome (actually a small fraction of 1% of your genome would be more accurate) are going to backfire on them badly.
Back in the day, Life had a decent reputation for quality instruments. All of the iterations of Solid sequencers which never quite cut it in terms of workflow or data throughput, despite their outlandish claims, have not laid a great foundation for this sort of marketing.
Beware you don't look too desperate.......

Well clearly the latest news
Well clearly the latest news from AACR are showing some reality check and some restraint on this scam "Cancer genomes are extraordinarily complicated," Ellis said in a statement, adding the result of his and his colleagues research "explains our difficulty in predicting outcomes and finding new treatments."
Hey Greg, how about you start giving some respect to reality.
The problem here is that
The problem here is that scientists are at the mercy or their own cheap talk. Some of them in bed with the notion of bad gene=cancer. Ya there is thousands of mutation shifts per cell per mass per environment per genome. It's like the mightiest of all mighty Rubik cube, except it keeps changing before you change one piece.
Imagine the same billion dollar invested in exercise VS less sugar, meat, salt and TV.
I challenge any frigging molecular cancer genetics on that premise. I can save more lives now with clean water than a million sequencers will in 10 years.
The model is flawed.
So eventually we know
So eventually we know everyones' genome and every gene for every type of cancer and genetic disease. Fine, I'll accept that. And then . . . what? Ever think of what you would need to do after that? Perhaps some drug discovery and/or regenerative medicine? Or at least gaining an understanding of the patient and disease on a level BEYOND the gene? In other words, maybe needing applications that Life Tech has basically taken for granted lately, if not treated with outright disdain?
I guess this is a case study in what happens when people with only the vaguest whiff of a scientific background decide they want to run a great big biotech. The ideas are well-considered but fundamentally flawed because their originators don't know as much as they think or would like. Same idea--someone can put a lot of work into building a table, but if they don't understand woodworking and the people who would need the table then the table is going to suck and people will dislike it. And if this person is greedy, they then try to sell this crap table to a person for the same price as a premium piece of furniture.
Same idea as, say, some of the instruments we've been seeing from Life.
SO to recap--this looks like a case in which arrogant pricing and business tactics meet flawed understandings of current science and the actual marketplace. It's GREAT to be an outside observer of this, an example of a young industry learning by making big mistakes.
Sequencing everyone's genome
Sequencing everyone's genome will be $1.
Will that be for each genome, or do you think the Ion Torrent will get that down to $1 for everyone? LIFE is claiming Lucifer's law (sequencing corollary to Moore's law) is 10x increase in throughput every 6 months. So we should be down to a penny a genome by 2014...
I don't care if you sequence
I don't care if you sequence everything in the world, ion torrent won't solve 100% of the world's problems...
Sequencing everyone's genome
Sequencing everyone's genome will be $1. Life Technologies will go bankrupt because of altruism. After everyone sees their genome, they get off their fat a$$ and exercise, improving global health.
GL returns to his home planet, job well done.

I was comparing this item with products from Ikea. This looks really really sleek - the best thing about this in comparison to IKEA alternatives is the color. This is a really smooth black and not black brown like most IKEA options. It also doesn't look like you purchased it from IKEA. However, the materials are pretty comparable -- you can see the pieces are made of particleboard. But, the material is a bit more sturdy than IKEA assembled furniture. Why? Because it takes FOREVER to assemble. The directions are pretty bad - just pictures with no step by step instructions, so we would assemble one piece, think we were making progress, and then realize we should have done one of the other steps before attaching certain pieces. We ended up assembling and reassembling for a couple steps. It was a pain, but five hours later, we have a beautiful hutch!! Bottom line: so worth it - looks amazing, but wow. be prepared to spend a day working on this puzzle.
i pass it in the every morning and I smile everytime I see it. Is so nice, worth every penny. Though didn't spend much but it's worth it every penny. Shipping was very quick, about 2-3 days and the assembly guide made it very easy to assemble. The quality and style is all there, all around gorgeous.
I received this buffet yesterday (quicker than estimated shipping) and put it together this morning. This isn't any more complicated to assemble than any other put-together-yourself furniture that I have seen before. That being said, it did take me a few hours to completely assemble, but I had to cut some openings in the back of it for cabling to run through (I am using it to house a computer in our conference room at work). The quality is much nicer than you would expect for the price. It does come with a couple of racks to hold wine bottles on one of the shelves (I don't think the description stated that). There were a couple of light scuffs on the drawer fronts for some reason. They had to come from the factory that way, no way it happened inside the packaging. It wasn't enough to make me call them about it. After a light coat of furniture polish on it, I couldn't see them no matter how hard I tried. I would HIGHLY recommend this piece of furniture.
I like this buffet a lot. It took me 4 days to put it together. I have never assembled any furniture before and I am 8.5 months pregnant. There were a lot of parts and screws but I was able to figure it out using the instructions. The quality is pretty good but two doors have a few scratches on them. I have decided I can live with that. A lot of storage - just what I need.
Very nice, I'm able to fit a lot of my collections of tea set, and it great. Very strong shelves, and easy to assemble type of furniture. The color and the design looks very nice and clean looking. I paid such a low cost compared to what I was planning to pay for it when I say a similar one in person at at a furniture place. This one is outstanding, I like it very much.
It was fairly easy to assemble - took me 2.5 hours by myself with some help at the end from a friend. There was some screws missing for the doors. Overall, for this price - it's a very good product.
I enlisted the help of a handy friend and it took us 5 hours to assemble but it really requires at least 3 people. Things would have been good had the directions been much better. There are pictures and very few words. There is a lot that needs to be inferred and if you can't get a little creative with the assembly you won't be able to put this together. We were never able to get the top drawers to slide on the track so we just left them out. Some of the dowels were either too short or too long and as a result we needed to secure the sides of the buffet by adding long screws to the corners. We drilled them in from the outside.Otherwise, the sides literally fell off. Be ready to improvise because we ran out of some screws and had way too many of others and we left out the top drawers. Good luck!!!!
I wanted to redo and update my dining room. I wanted something smaller and modern. This fit my specs .My husband put it together. It took a little longer because some of the instructions were incorrect and he had to figure it out as he went along. Good thing he has the head for that - must be all the years of putting together *** furniture. Overall it is a nice piece.
Such a great design! This piece looks very pricey and I receive many compliments on it for the price that I paid. I had help with the assembly so I cannot say exactly how long it would have taken me myself, maybe around 2 hours? The wood is very solid and easily supports the dishes that I have stored. Very satisfied with my purchase from overstock.
Not bad at all. I mean I wouldn't trade it at all or return it. The shipping was fast and free, plus the assembly was no trouble at all. Sturdiness past my test , and style I like it allot is pretty modern and it goes with everything.

Judith Terra, Chair - Ward 4
Judith Terra is the chair of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and co-founder of both Terra Museum of American Art in Chicago and Musee D' Art Americain Givemy in France. Terra and her late husband, Ambassador Daniel J. Terra spent many years promoting American Art. When Terra Museum of American Art opened in April 1987, it was the first museum in the United States since the establishment of New York's Whitney Museum of American Art in 1930 devoted exclusively to American art.
Terra's interest in the visual and performing arts as well as her educational endeavors began early—she received her degree in language arts from the University of Florida. Professionally, she has combined her two passions: the arts and education—first, as a teacher; then as the wife of a college president (Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA) and as wife of the first and only Ambassador-at-large for Cultural Affairs in the United States.
Terra played a key role in the development of both American Art museums, including serving as co-director of Terra Museum in Chicago. The primary emphasis of both these institutions was their educational programs and facilities.
During the 1980's, while Ambassador, Terra served as Cultural Ambassador. In addition to their many responsibilities in Washington, the position took the Terras to countries throughout the world (including Israel) in order to promote American art and to establish cultural diplomacy.
Judith Terra continues as a community activist serving on many boards, in addition to her own board, Terra Foundation for the Arts. She has participated in and chaired many
charitable causes and organizations in both Chicago and Washington, DC.
In January 2010, Terra became one of the earliest supporters of Vincent Gray for Mayor. She was very active in planning meetings before Gray's official announcement and held the first fundraiser for Gray's successful campaign. She served on Mayor Gray's finance committee and continued to hold fundraisers for members of the arts community and Women for Gray—this in addition to many months of working with the volunteers.
Her board activities have included the following:
- Founding Chairman, Advisory Board of the Ronald Reagan Institute for Emergency Medicine, George Washington University (Washington, DC)
- College of Arts and Sciences, Georgetown University (Washington, DC)
- Northwestern University Women's Board (Chicago, Illinois)
- Endowment Foundation for the Diplomatic Rooms of the State Department (Washington, DC)
- Co-Founder, Friends of Arts and Embassies (State Department, Washington, DC)
- A founder of the Latin School (Washington, DC)

Deadly river floods set to continue through weekendRivers including the Mississippi and Illinois are expected to remain in "major flood stage" through this weekend, the National Weather Service warned on Tuesday. A number of flood warnings were in place as ongoing rain and runoff from last week's intense downpours continued to keep the water levels high in rivers across Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan in particular, the NWS added. "The larger rivers, such as the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, will take longer to recede and will remain in major flood stage through this weekend," the weather service said. "Do not drive through flowing water. Nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle related. As little as 6 inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Two feet of water will carry most vehicles away," it added in a flood warning for several rivers in Missouri. There was also a risk of severe storms from the Ohio Valley to the lower Mississippi Valley, weather.com said on Tuesday, with "localized damaging winds and large hail." The floods have been blamed for at least five deaths since Thursday and have also forced evacuations, swamped homes and shut down bridges. Barge traffic on the Mississippi was brought to a near standstill. On Sunday at least one sank and others ran aground or were half-submerged because of the floods. States of emergency have been declared in Missouri and Illinois. The Associated Press described the fight against the floodwaters in different communities across the affected area: |

U.S. Army Releases Doctored Photographs
Bob Owen, chief photographer of the San Antonio Express-News, noticed that the photos were almost identical. All details were the same except for the soldiers' face, name, and rank. It appeared that Dawson's head had been pasted onto Durbin's body.
The Associated Press subsequently issued a retraction order on the photos, noting for each photo that "The content of this image has been digitally altered and does not accurately reflect the scene."
The army later apologized for the incident, explaining that, since Dawson's unit did not have an official photo of him, one had been created for a memorial service. The photo had apparently been released to the media by accident.

Overview of content related to 'open access'
This page provides an overview of 223 articles related to 'open access', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
Open access (OA) refers to unrestricted online access to articles published in scholarly journals, and increasingly also book chapters or monographs. Open Access comes in two forms, Gratis versus Libre: Gratis OA is no-cost online access, while Libre OA offers some additional usage rights. Open content is similar to OA, but usually includes the right to modify the work, whereas in scholarly publishing it is usual to keep an article's content intact and to associate it with a fixed author. Creative Commons licenses can be used to specify usage rights. The Open Access idea can be extended to the learning objects and resources provided in e-learning. OA can be provided in two ways: 1) "Green OA" is provided by authors publishing in any journal and then self-archiving their postprints in their institutional repository or on some other OA website. Green OA journal publishers endorse immediate OA self-archiving by their authors. 2) "Gold OA" is provided by authors publishing in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website. (Hybrid open access journals provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee.) (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Open access publishing)

Yet another volatile day yesterday (stop me if you've heard this before). In both anticipation of, and reaction to the Fed Meeting (FOMC), we lost upwards of 70 basis points before sharply making up ground near the final bell. The end result was a 31 basis point worsening to pricing. Thus far today, we have lost an additional 25 bps.
This daily mortgage interest rate report is designed to provide Borrowers & Real Estate Profesionals with factual data regarding where rates are at any given time and what trends are propelling current mortgage pricing on any given day. Feel free to browse the library and research historical rate updates dating back over 2 years at www.JasonGordon.info whenever desired. To make things easier, I have also posted a quick report on How To Read The Charts Below.
Also, make sure to learn THE TOP 10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MORTGAGE RATES (to help understand the relationship between rates & fees/credits) along with THE TRUTH BEHIND MORTGAGE QUOTES (to better understand the relationship between up-front closing costs and mortgage interest rates so you don't get duped by clever advertising campaigns). Remember, we all make better decisions in life when we have the actual facts to analyze...share this report with those whom you care about!
The Mortgage Street Smarts of where mortgage interest rates are going (and why):
The following information is current as of Thursday 7-11-2013 and will help you understand today's best mortgage rates. If you are a Buyer/Borrower who is still on the fence (or if you are a Real Estate Agent attempting to educate your "on the fence" Buyer), please review these trends and secure an historically low interest rate before it is too late.
The market closed Wednesday with a SIGNIFICANT WORSENING to pricing. Wednesday's SIGNIFICANT WORSENING netted a change of 31 basis points (bps).
(hint: upward activity is good, downward activity is bad)
The following chart shows the activity thus far for today:
The following chart shows market activity over the past 10 days (hint: green is good, red is bad):
The following chart shows market activity over the past 1 month:
Daily Interest Rate Snapshot (sample of rates from one of the country's largest Lenders...individual pricing will vary based on specific Borrower qualifications): NOTE: This Lender has quoted a 1.00% Origination Fee (1 Point) to accompany this pricing. It bears noting that this chart does not necessarily represent todays best mortgage rates.

Community - WEAVING A UNIVERSAL THREAD
by Arun Gandhi
As a budding teenager in the 1940s I was intrigued by my grandfather's
version of 'family', where the head was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and
his family was the
entire human race. In 1946 my father, Manilal, Gandhi's second son,
decided it was time to visit the family in India.
I was 12 years old then and we needed relief from the hate and prejudice
of apartheid in South Africa. While I had visited India earlier, this
was the first time I was old enough to experience the difference between
a conventional family and a 'Gandhi family'.
At that time there were close to 150 families living in Sevagram Ashram
in Wardha, central India. This was, in a microcosm, Gandhi's vision
of the future of family. Inclusiveness, he was certain, was the only
way to save humanity from self-destruction. Teaching tolerance was anathema
to Gandhi.
he felt, should not tolerate each other and their differences, but learn
to respect, understand, accept and appreciate each other. What we have
today is a collection of people living in an area for convenience because
circumstances have thrown them together.
Unless we stand to gain something, we prefer not to have anything to
do with our neighbours. One day Gandhi's wife, Kasturba, was cooking
in the ashram.
This was unusual, so Gandhi stopped to ask: "What are you cooking?"
"Ramdas," she explained, referring to their married son, "is going home
to his family this afternoon and I thought I would make some sweets."
"Do you make sweets for all those who visit the ashram and then leave?"
Gandhi asked.
Surprised and bewildered by the question, Kasturba turned to face Gandhi
and said: "No." "Why not?" Gandhi asked. "Are they not, like Ramdas,
your children?"
Kasturba knew why Gandhi had created the ashram but this was a dimension
she had not considered. She quickly saw the wisdom in what he said and
decided to make amends by not giving Ramdas the sweets, but making more
and distributing them to all the children in the ashram.
There must never be, Gandhi said, any double standards in our relationships
and our attitude towards each other, our families and humanity in general.
What applies to one, must apply to all, he said. I experienced Gandhi's
determination to treat everyone equally while I was with him.
To raise funds for the many programmes he had launched, he decided to
sell his autographs for five rupees. Every day hundreds would attend
his multi-faith prayers and later seek his autograph.
I was assigned the task of collecting autograph books and money for
his signature. I felt that if so many people were willing to pay for
his autograph it must be valuable. So, one day I made an autograph book
and put it in the pile.
is there no money for this," he asked. "Because it is my book," I said
sheepishly. "Ah ha! So you think you are going to get a free autograph?"
he laughed. "Yes," I said. "After all I am your grandson." "So are all
the people out there," he said. "They are all related to me. If I have
a rule for them that rule must apply to you also."
Life in the ashram was designed to be unique and simple. There were some
family homes but they were used to store personal belongings, and sometimes
couples slept there. All other activities were common.
Unless someone was ill, old or needed special diet, all meals were cooked
in a common kitchen and consumed in a common dining room.
At the ashram everyone practised equality. There was no such thing as
men's work or women's work. Any work
that needed to be done was done by whoever was available. Batches of people
were assigned duties, rotating every fortnight.
Perhaps the most onerous of all tasks at the ashram was cleaning of bucket
toilets, used by everyone. Gandhi had deliberately not permitted toilets
in private homes.
Everyone had to use the row of public toilets at one end of the ashram.
Gandhi's reasoning was that cleaning public toilets was the contentious
issue on which the caste oppression was based. Millions in India are labeled
untouchables because of their work.
Only low castes do lowly jobs such as street cleaning, garbage disposal
and cleaning of public toilets. Because the jobs are menial, the pay is
negligible, forcing the low caste to live in abject poverty and ignorance.
Everyone, without exception, was required to participate in cleaning the
toilets. The first time I was assigned this duty, I found it revolting.
But, when everyone, including grandfather, was doing it whom could you
complain to? I performed the chore obediently and with time the work became
less revolting. It helped us understand the value of work.
The ashram was open to people of all races, religions and beliefs.
All ashram inmates were required to assemble everyday for morning and
evening prayers. Everyone was required to sing hymns from all religions
of the world.
A friendly
study of all scriptures is the sacred duty of every individual," Gandhi
said, and taught us the rudiments of all scriptures. When asked, he
said: "I am a Christian,
a Hindu, a
a Muslim, a Jew."
In one of his sermons he said that religion is like a tree. The trunk
represents spirituality, the branches are the various religions of the
world. In its totality a tree looks beautiful. However, when the tree
is dismembered, it leaves behind a stump.
This is what is happening with religion today. We have chopped a beautiful
tree and now use the dead wood to build our separate centre of beliefs.
Gandhi did not believe in the melting pot theory. He said that if we
want respect for our right of worship we must extend the same respect
to others.
Although life in Gandhi's ashram was rigid, it did not mean that he
expected every community to be built wholly on such rigid principles.
His ashram was a training institution. Gandhi expected the workers to
go out and mould future communities on the concept of oneness-the ability
to see ourselves in others and others in ourselves.
An ideal community, according to Gandhi and Socrates, is one that resembles
the human body. Different parts of the human body have different functions.
Yet, in crises, the whole body galvanises to deal with an injury. An
ideal community must emulate this response of the human body.
In the pioneering days individualism could survive because the objective
was to build a homestead and acquire personal property. Now we are faced
with the task of building a community and society, which means interdependence,
interconnectedness and integration.
Exclusivity must give way to inclusivity, if living in peace and harmony are our objectives. The choice before humanity in the next
millenium, therefore, is to learn to respect life or live to regret
Arun Gandhi, born in 1934 in South Africa, is Mahatma Gandhi's grandson,
who runs the US-based M.K. Gandhi Institute of Nonviolence with his
wife Sunanda. This institute works to promote the principles of nonviolence

This article from the Gaston Gazette makes it look like big changes are going to happen at the end of this season. Heres a link to the full article
Jordans ownership group must find a way to shake the Bobcats out of their box office slump. Rumors are rampant about impending changes in the front office. Some around the league say the current basketball, staff that includes coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff, will be fired at seasons end.
Georgetown coach John Thompson could be a candidate to be the next Bobcats head coach, and some of Jordans friends from his playing days Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, Rod Higgins and Darrell Walker could join the coaching staff. Each has close connections to Jordan and would certainly indicate Jordan has put a personal stamp on the franchise.
Chances are, such changes would get the same positive national media attention Jordans addition to the Bobcats ownership group got last season.

The Pirates are in it to win it, y'all! Maybe too aggressive. Okay, the Pirates are in it to make it seem like they're in it to win it, y'all! Yeah, that's probably a closer approximation. If we're sitting here in October and saying the Pirates couldn't have won the World Series without the help of Marlon Byrd, I'll be a monkey's uncle and pay for my monkey nephew to go to college, which is a lot of money. Luckily, I think they can win it with or without Byrd, as a Nikki Dinki-hosted show would say. Thankfully, none of this matters for fantasy, so why are we even talking about it? I don't know, clunky expository question! Byrd will likely prop up the bottom of the Pirates lineup when he plays and prop himself onto the mascot's shoulder on off days. Byrd gains a tad bit of value with this move since the Mess offense was nothing to write home about unless you were locked up abroad and ran out of things to write on postcards, and 'Hitters Are Better Outside Of Metco' is a bumper sticker I don't own, but endorse. Also, going to the Pittsburgh Bucs is John Buck. Buck will change his New York nickname of "Midnight Cowboy" to "Swash," and steal some looks behind the plate from Martin. Going the other way is Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later. Unless that player is Andrew McCutchen, there's not a whole lot to talk about on the Mets receiving end. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ross Ohlendorf
Instead of relegating him to bullpen duties, the Cardinals have opted to send Jake Westbrook to the disgraceful list. In a corresponding move, they've called up Carlos Martinez from Triple-A. As of the time of this writing there's been no official word, but it appears likely that Martinez will claim Westbrook's spot in the starting rotation. That'd make C-Mart the probable starter for Monday, putting him in line for two starts next week. If you've been paying attention, you know that I've not been shy about my unhealthy adoration for Martinez. The 21-year-old is flat out filthy — 4-seamers at 98; 2-seamers with unreal sink at 96; deceptive change in the mid-80s. If he can shore up his location, he brings as much K-potential as any pitcher in baseball, and that's not hyperbole. I listed Martinez as a first tier guy below, even considering the tough match-ups. If you have a chance to watch him pitch next week, please do. It's truly something to behold. The rest of your two-starters are below.
As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yasiel Puig was scratched yesterday with a strained shoulder, suffering the injury during batting practice. Look at him, making himself feel right at home with the Dodgers. Next thing you know, he's going to say Brandon League is their best reliever, run at 40% and leave before the eighth inning to beat the traffic. Let's recap quickly, Puig took a fastball off his nose, wiped blood from his face and took first base. Then The Cuban did an interpretative dance with Kennedy's whole team that he called "The Bay of Puig." Finally, the next day, he hurts himself in batting practice. It's like when Jean-Claude Van Damme beat the crap out of 47 bad guys, but stopped production on Timecop because the production assistant forget to bring his hair gel to set. "Van Damme be Van Damned if his hair isn't coifed." As of right now, there's no word on how long Puig will be out, but hopefully this Puiggy doesn't go wee, wee, wee all the way home. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Oakland A's called up their prized prospect, Daniel Straily, to start tonight. Their prized prospect that no one even heard of before this year. Is that egg on your face, Keith Law? "Actually, it's a sous vide'd ostrich egg with fleur de sel.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Francisco Rodriguez got the save yesterday, then K-Rod told the reflection in his mirror I'm nobody's dork. He's been Marmolesque (1.42 WHIP, 4+ BB/9), but saves plus a solid K rate has its value. If you really need saves, you could do worse.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hunter Pence has a patella tendon strain and won't play until this weekend. Though, more likely, he's not playing much more in the regular season. Don't you love H2H leagues? What I don't understand is how you can fantasy baseball, which is a shizzload more intensive than fantasy football, then leave the end of the season up to luck like it's fantasy football. I enjoy my one or two H2H leagues, but only because I have ten roto leagues to offset the silly luck factor of H2H. You draft a great team, then your first 5 round picks are sitting out in the finals of H2H? Don't tell me injuries happen in real baseball playoffs, so this simulates that. Real baseball is played over 162 games, not week to week on who has, say, the most Holds. So I like H2H, but don't make as if its playoff system makes sense. As for Pence, find someone else to fill in p to the ronto. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Todd Helton – Unlikely to return this season with back issues. It's probably because when he sits on his bottom, his back can go to the top of its slide. Helton Skelton!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Aaron Hill and John McDonald were traded to the Diamondbacks for Kelly Johnson. Regarding the title, each team got to 2nd base with the other. Nothing to brag about, nothing for the rest of us to get jealous over. I guess this is what happens when Alex Anthopoulos and Kevin Towers lock themselves in a closet for 7 minutes of trading heaven. "Can you throw in J.P.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jose Bautista hit his 39th and 40th home runs last night. As frequent commenter, VinWins, pointed out yesterday, in the Blue Kays last 162 games, Bautista has 50 homers. Okay, I was way off with this guy, but Jose Bautista didn't see this year coming. His own mother doesn't recognize him. Every morning he wakes up wondering if the last five months were a dream. This is the craziest home run year since Scooter McGillicuddy blasted 6 homers in 1901 while battling scurvy. Bautista hadn't hit 30 homers in the past two years combined in twice as many games. His HR/FB% is nearly double his career mark. His fly balls are through the roof, literally. His Isolated Power is near Babe Ruth's career mark. The HR department thinks Bautista lied on his resume. A mouth enters on the left side of the screen and says, "Im," a mouth enters on the right side and says, "Probable." Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Brandon Morrow – 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 12 Ks. Hello, beautiful. I hate AL East pitchers, but I might just own Morrow on all of my teams next year. Right after, I draft Daniel Hudson.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This isn't meant to replace Smokey's two-start pitchers for fantasy that comes every weekend. This is meant to supplement that, like something A-Rod's cousin would give you. This isn't two start pitchers, this is barely owned guys that could give you one start. A pick up and a drop. They're all owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues. Pretty much everything I told you in the beginning of the year about trusting your big guns and not trusting the wayward sons-of-bees goes out the window this time of year. If you're battling for pitching points or a playoff spot in H2H, you need to take some chances I wouldn't necessarily take in April. Suddenly, James McDonald looks ownable and Ross Ohlendorf doesn't look like Ross Ohlendorf, but looks like a guy who's facing a team that he has an under 3 ERA against. So I've assembled one, two or three starters from Friday, the new Humpday, until next Wednesday, the old Humpday, that you could take a chance on depending on how bad your pitching shituation is. I'm not completely proud of all of these guys, but their mommas are (even Momma Ohlendorf). Anyway, here's some borderline starters for this week in fantasy baseball:
Friday, August 20th
Homer Bailey – Looked solid in his last start, but it's risky because I don't always believe the 2nd time's a charm. Against the Dodgers in LA looks like a start where Bailey can hold his own. Or at least not totally screw the pooch. Or pouch, if you're a kangaroo.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I can't believe it is week 6 already (though I should have known), most leagues are starting to make crazy trades, build for the future or are just not interested in their teams. It's been a crazy last few days with some really horrible trades in some of my leagues.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
