Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Ed Bedford 6 p.m., March 11
Finally, an acknowledgment from the County Board of Education that SUHSD needs their attention! Although it took a petition to get them to actually focus, it is one small step forward. I am also heartened to read that the members of the CBOE actually treated the members of the SUHSD PUBLIC who came to provide public testimony with respect instead of the derision they have come to expect from Ed and the current SUHSD board members.
If the election by district moves forward or doesn't, this acknowledgment goes a long way towards reclaiming the District by those it is supposed to serve.
One caveat however....keep an eye on Laura D...she and Ed are reported to go way back and she holds her fingers on the fiscal/audit resources at the COE.
Oskidoll comments on the relationship of Brand and Laura D. There is another friendship that is as big of a concern Russo and Laura D.
Where's the signs for Mati Adato or are people and Union split? Will there be an election at this point?
miagd - as I read your post above I could feel your deep frustration, then I read PencilPokinVelma's words and I sat here shaking my head.
Is this what it has come down to? Successful businesses - and trust me this IS a business - are so, and remain so, when all parties are working towards a common goal. In our case we have but one goal - educating students. Our superintendent Ed Brand is failing at that and miserably so. Additionally he has failed at unifying ALL members of the SUHSD family.
I TOTALLY support your peaceful walk in front of Cartmill's house and would recommend more innovative actions. In my opinion the purpose being served is drawing attention to the Issues at SUHSD? Why not walk at the corners of busy intersections in Eastlake, Bonita, Plaza Bonita, down at the foot of H street, at the Plaza shopping center in National City, at the Pier in IB, Main Street central in San Ysidro and Third Avenue in Chula Vista.
I do however respectfully question why the union has not done more. YOU, the teachers and your union are being painted as selfish and greedy to the voting public. The community is not being educated. Take for example - the peaceful walk - where was the TV coverage? - where was the unions response to Mr. McCann's call for a special election. SUHSD can afford an election but we can not afford to negotiate with our teachers? Something is wrong. We can afford to expend $18million on a new district office but we can not afford to negotiate fair employment benefits?
In truth there is NO SUHSD family, we have become splintered factions. WE, the VOTERS, WE the PARENTS have allowed this to spiral out of control. We were foolish enough to believe that simply because someone refers to himself as a minister that he is righteous, we fell for the titles of ------ of the Year, we trusted based on words. - WE FAILED TO DEMAND THE ACTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE PUT VERBS IN THE CAMPAIGN PROMISE SENTENCES.
Bbq, welcome to the American justice system, where dumbed down sentences and compromises are the norm. As bad as the indictments are, quite frankly as long as the sitting trustees are barred from office, i will be happy! That will be the easier of the two ways to get them out of office, seeing as how our electorate in the South Bay has proven to be either uncaring, indifferent or ignorant to the corruption in our school district.
Dangerous consequences will follow when politicians forget moral principles. Whether we believe in GOD or Karma ethics is the foundation of every religion.
You need to chew on this as others of us are.
Welcome to the new Center for Shell Games, brought to you by Fast Eddy and Friends!!
Opening soon in a strip mall near you!!
You pays your bucks you gets your diploma/certification/credential!!
Qualifying students may apply for loans and grants, and carry those loans for decades!!
Who needs to save for a down payment on a house or condo when you are still paying off those school loans...too bad Fast Eddy got away with tearing down all those adult school programs so he could turn around and install the for-profit "schools"---
Can we all keep our eyes on Fast Eddy and his friends, as this plays out? Because I wouldn't be too surprised if there are "understandings" in place to ensure comfy corner offices for select members of this corrupt bunch!
Sweetwater Union High School District, Where Quality Education is Fast Disappearing!
Sweetwater Union High School District, Where the Students are Commodity #1!
Sweetwater Union High School District, Where the Board of Trustees Couldn't Figure Out Right From Wrong If Gabriel Himself Was Blowing His Horn!
I am reminded of the Arlo Gutherie song Alice's Restaurant so popular in the 70's. In this case the "violation" is not littering but cleaning up other people's trash left in the public right of way. The question that hasn't been asked is why the signs were out in the first place. There is no election campaign for school board or council. What other motive could be given other than self-promotion. How is the issue of a 3 year old sign more important than participating in the Board presentation regarding the hardening of classrooms in case of a lockdown or crisis and a presentation of the financial condition of the District. The choices made show Mr. McCann's priorities and you have to ask yourself was his reaction reasonable and rational for an adult in his position?
Mr. Jaime Mercado, a highly respected former board member did not abandon his seat on the dais to chase down an illegally placed OLD campaign sign. John Mccann totally disrupted the board meeting YET AGAIN, with a temper tantrum. Mccann has history in the realm of temper tantrums, he allegedly aimed his speeding car at a gentlemen he had issues with in a parking lot, he acted out in the district parking lot and called 911 to report an alleged pretend assault which a JUDGE THREW OUT OF COURT with a directive to Mccann to knock it off (paraphrase), and now in this picture he is seen yet again in the parking lot. (Perhaps he should stay out of parking lots since they seem to bring out the worst in him)
Yes, public and elected officials THIS IS WHAT WE ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH. What the community is wondering is why this emotionally damaged man continues to plague us.
tim tim - no doubt those elected and public officials and VOTERS that are reading this blog are getting a true look at what YOU! JOHN MCCANN aka tim tim is all about.
timtim, I hope you're not McCann because you would be embarrassing not only yourself (war hero comment), but your wife, daughters, and your church (the insults). You sound like a petulant child. As far as the 300K citizens not writing comments, I was one of them. I have my life (job, family, interests) that keeps me pretty busy. I finally got involved after going to a board meeting and seeing the total disrespect for the community. I didn't want to feel impotent and powerless so I started educating myself. We voted all of you in to take care of school business. We take care of the kids at home, you make sure they're educated. I thought that was the general agreement (compact, if you will) Call me naive, but I thought it really was all about the kids for all of you. You hold the education of children -our future- in your hands. Just stop and think about that for a moment. Think about the enormity of your responsibility. For once I hope that our kids are more interested in social media than in the news. What's been happening here is very sad. What's come out in the grand jury testimony would make anyone - child or adult- feel hopeless. On the other hand, I'm heartened by the small? group of selfless individuals who have been fighting the good fight. (Apostle Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Tim. 4:7) Thank you to all those who have chosen to light a candle rather than curse the darkness. Keep shining your light!
Well folks, just when you think you have heard it all - whispers on the street are Indicating that Burt Grossman is preparing to run for the City Council.
Just what we need someone who does not value women, someone who will drop the 'n' word at the drop of a hat and someone who has an issue with gays and lesbians. For verification check his book out of the library - out of his own mouth.
Chula Vista residents, no doubt he will use his x NFL days as a selling point, steroid driven defensive lineman is not a prerequisite for city councilman. Let us not forget we are in the process of cleaning up politics in the South Bay, not adding to the negative perception. Let us also not forget who allegedly supported Grossmans run for school board, Ed Brand. Rumor has it John Mccann was quite enamored with hanging around Grossman.
Let us pray that the whispers are wrong, if not HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!!
while I know that Ms. Adato has fought the good fight out of a genuine concern over how the district has been governed and how our tax dollars have been spent - I do believe it is time for persons such as she to fill the board seats. Hopefully she will consider this recommendation - I mean after all, isn't she, in essence, already doing the job they were elected to do?
Where the hell is our beloved Union Tribune and yes the Voice of San Diego recently on this corrupt administration....this Sweetwater Administration is symbolic of why we need the Social Media and "alternative" media like the Reader to get the word out. If it was not for Susan Luzarro what would we do to keep this in the limelight? Wake up UT..pry yourself away from worring about how Obama will bring down Western Civilization and pay attention to your local community and educating students.
i heard the guy was an educator in the san ysidro district which is great cause for concern and now it is stated he is a minister. guess he was cut from a different cloth than most ministers and educators. allegedly he has been trying to be hired on at the sweetwater district - NOT someone we need obviously.
while young men can be emotional ms. quinones definitely should have had control of the alleged supporter. fortunately for Ms. Saenz-Gonzalez and her family members no one was hurt.
on a positive note at least Mr. Anguiano did not go running to the board for legal fees like John Mccann did. Mccanns FAILED restraining order cost us approximately $8,000 - but hey what's it to mr. conservative - NOT ---------- it was only our hard earned tax dollars. if you read delgaldos lips he is saying something to the effect of 'you better have alot of money'!!!!! surely mr. delgado knows that teaching does not pay much, and at sweetwater is pays even less - let us not forget the furlough days our educators voted on "for the kids" -
well now we all know what this educator/minister/threatening man looks like - at all costs AVOID HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have laid the guy out in a a nanosecond if he tried to get that close to me...........
Let's not forget that Ms. Pearl is one of the 'elite' of those indicted, whose charges also include extortion (along with Ricasa, Sandoval, Gandara). Even if those other pesky charges seem meaningless to some, extortion is really quite messy because it involves demanding something while in office, or 'under official color' of office. So you see, that she didn't just allow herself to be bribed like the others, but she and her fellow elitists are charged with making demands for things of value. If you will check back to Pearl's quotes in the earlier indictments, she was asking a vendor to support and help her land a well-compensated state commission job, and wrote an e-mail comment to the effect of , "I help those who help me."
So, this is now not surprising that she would have bullies to help her 'enforce' her territory. Seems she believes she 'owns' the public job as well as those who would provide whatever she asks.
Mr. Brand is saying that Ms Adato's campaign limitation proposal cannot be considered because of the restrictive policy adopted that evening. Shouldn't the new policy begin that evening and not be retroactive?
Why wouldn't John McCann support Ms. Adato's resolution? He says that he is in favor of limiting gifts--belatedly. Supporting a limit to campaign donations, or supporting someone who is bringing forward that resolution, seems like a logical extension.
Brand's email is disturbing. When a superintendent has contempt for taxpayers and residents, it's time for him to go.
Eastlaker - I am wondering if there would have been a difference if this was a school on our side of the 805? Dr. Gandara professed his deep interest for the youth, spoke about specific demographics needing the protection of persons like himself. If, as rumored, he signed off on this dumping, it is indeed a crime of dereliction of duty at the very least. All of those at the district who have had knowledge of this situation and failed to act on behalf of the students, staff, and residents should resign immediately. Has anyone contacted State regulators to ensure that they are monitoring this situation, to in effect protect those who will be receiving these toxic substances into their community?
Kudos and thanks to 'Erupting' and the two others who addressed the County Board of Education July 11. I encourage everyone to view the archived video on the CBOE website. You do know the importance of keeping their feet to the fire, because they do not like to be 'called out' and embarrassed, no matter how much they protest that financial oversight just isn't their job. IT IS! and they are shirking that responsibility, if not aiding and abetting the slight of hand at SUHSD.

Smelled like socks in our room the entire time, even after we attempted to air it out by keeping the window open for several hours. The staff would not provide us with an extra towel or shower gel/shampoo on the second day of your stay. Location is not great for access to the metro system -- there is a close train station, but you have to by special tickets for it that cost more since it is located in a suburb zone.

The hotel staff was helpful and accommodating, which makes a big difference to the place. It's located off the centre but we don't find transportation to be a problem as going to the central train station to transfer to metro is easy. One point to note is that wifi didn't work properly except on the G/F. I'd recommend this hotel to others to avoid the overpriced accommodation in central Paris where you have to stay in a room with a few other travellers and paying almost the same price!

Reviews for Framley Parsonage
An Excerpt from Framley Parsonage
Fortune smiles on Mark Robarts, a young man of charm and principle.
Not only has Lady Lufton appointed him Vicar of Framley, but he has also been blessed with a happy marriage. Yet, his naïvety and social ambition draw him toward a sophisticated, worldly set who question his moral values and sense of honour. Falling under the spell of the roguish Nathaniel Sowerby, Robarts is brought to the edge of ruin. Only his friends can save him but will they discover his predicament in time? For Lady Lufton there are further trials and tribulations when she suspects her son of forming an unsuitable attachment.
Anthony Trollope brings all his accustomed wit, perceptive eye and lively comic touches to this matchless portrayal of nineteenth century life. Published to great acclaim in 1860, Framley Parsonage is one of his most popular novels and the fourth in the Barsetshire Chronicles.

Questions and Answers : GPU applications : SETI@Home not displaying
I had to move processing to another computer and SETI@Home no longer runs the video display. This computer is an Intel Core i7 64-bit processor, 8Gb RAM and an nVidia GeForce GTS 250. Einstein@Home shows its video display when running. SETI processes data, just no display. No big deal, but I miss seeing it. Thanks, Turner ____________
When using the GPU SETI@home the screen saver will not work - its just too much for the GPU to cope with. ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?
Okay, thanks for the response. Should I upgrade the video card, it is kind of wimpy? With my current setup, I assume more processing gets done without the screen saver and that is the preferred method? Turner ____________
...its just too much for the GPU to cope with.
Turner, I wouldn't upgrade a video card just to run a screen saver. However I would upgrade one if the old one broke, or I needed it for work, or wanted to save a bit on my fuel bill, or wanted to crunch a bit faster. More modern cards are faster and tend to use less power. Running a screen saver does eat into the resources available, thus slowing the processing down which is why most, if not all, the uber-crunchers don't even bother trying. ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?
I have the same issue with the SETI screen saver. In the past I was able to run both Einstein and SETI on my dual processor G4 and 2 screens. I would start them up and then have each program's screen saver on, one on each screen. Worked that way for a couple of years and then with one of the bionic updates that feature seems to have gone away. I could see one or the other, but not both, depending on which task was selected. Now I can see Einstein as a screen, when available, but not SETI. Dual ,867Mhz PPC G4, 2GB RAM and ATI Radeon 9000 Pro video card. Mostly used to run these programs and little else these days. Not a huge issue, but I too liked the original feature. ____________

Caption: At a reception in honor of the 2007 SRC School of Nursing graduates, Heather Martin was named 2007 MDH/SRC Nurse of the Year. Heather is a registered nurse in Acute Care at MDH. Martin receives 2007 MDH/SRC Nurse of the Year Award: Spoon River College (SRC) and McDonough District Hospital (MDH) are pleased to announce Heather Martin, RN, as a winner of the 2007 McDonough District Hospital/Spoon River College Nurse of the Year award. Martin was selected for the honor by students in the second year nursing program at Spoon River College. Martin is currently working in the hospital's Acute Care department as a staff registered nurse. The MDH/SRC Nurse of the Year award recognizes an outstanding LPN or RN who has been involved with the clinical training of the SRC nursing students. The award is based upon the nurse's generosity with nursing students, integrity with the care of clients, mentoring ability with students, and knowledge of nursing. Martin has been with McDonough District Hospital since 1995. She started her employment as an aide in the Food Service department, but became a nursing assistant in the Acute Care department in 1998 while studying to be a registered nurse at Graham School of Nursing in Canton. Martin stated, "I enjoy taking care of people, and the most rewarding part about my job is when the patients really appreciate the care. I feel that I have done my job when a patient can tell me "The care was great here." When asked about her experience with the students, Martin comments, "Working with the students brings back memories of when I was in nursing school. Seeing them grow is an awesome feeling!" In nominating Martin, the students praised her patience and words of wisdom. Her nominators went on to say, "Heather is an exemplary nurse who guides students in prioritizing patient care, offering advice, and re-directs students' attention to the matters on hand" and "She has an enthusiastic personality and makes students feel more at ease with new experiences and skills." Martin lives in Industry with her husband Jerry and their two children, Addi and Gavin. She has a long history with nursing at MDH as her mother, Janet Sullivan, is a registered nurse in the Obstetrics department. Martin appreciates her mother's influence on her nursing career: "Receiving the Nurse of the Year award was a nice surprise. I have to give my mother credit for showing and teaching me the true role of a nurse. She is my inspiration and my best friend." Spoon River College offers a two-year, Associate Degree in Nursing program on the college's Macomb and Canton campuses. After the first year of coursework, students can sit for the Practical Nursing licensure exam and obtain their LPN certification. After successful completion of the second year, the students are eligible to sit for the Registered Nurse licensure exam. For more information about the nursing program at Spoon River College, contact the nursing department at (309) 649-6227.

The Dow industrials climbed 207.65 points, or 1.7%, to 12795.96, ending Monday near session highs. The advance gave blue chips their biggest one-session rise since Sept. 6 and their first back-to-back gains since the presidential election on Nov. 6.

On Sunday, President Barack Obama, who was in Bangkok for a three-nation trip, said he was "confident" the fiscal situation could be dealt with by lawmakers.

Poor baby
The wierd thing is that running is what overcomes the fatigue. At least for a few hours, if I can force myself to get out for a run I will feel better and the fatigue will go away....
Best Present Ever
I'm bumping an old thread because I'm wondering if there is any consensus on how high ferritin levels should be in runners? I was at 10 last year and have brought it back up to 53. My hg and hct are always right at the lower edge of normal (12.2 and 37.5). They never really go up, and I've never be more than marginally under the lower limit of normal. Do I keep supplementing? I don't get any clear answers from various docs, so internet strangers seem like my best source of information. : )
(One says she likes see a ferritin of 100 in everyone, but she's kind of crazy and I don't believe anything she says. One says ferritin doesn't matter if the CBC is fine, and low-normal on the CBC is still normal. One says I'm now normal so I shouldn't worry about it. I think I probably know too many health professionals). I am definitely glad to not be actively symptomatic anymore. I don't really miss that 'wow am I going to pass out' feeling. I think that went away by the time I hit ferritin of about 20.
Great post, Spaniel. Thank you.

"Stop trying to spoil the mystery of life, I was really getting into it."
Heh. deja vu. Especially since I started on iron again.
IIRC ferretin in the 70-80s is decently in the normal range. In the 20s-30s it will likely affect your running.
Premenopausal women with low iron issues may need to maintain supplementation as they lose iron every month. Men are more at risk of their levels building up. Except me, apparently.
They give "normal" ranges but everybody is different. If your hemoglobin levels are at a certain point and never really go up even though you keep taking iron, that may be your natural set point. Simply taking iron will not necessarily push up your hemoglobin.

Sad to say, the post evidence I was looking for seems to have been deleted, which doesn't exactly help my case here. Nonetheless, I'll drop it for the time being unless it becomes an issue.
I would expect you of all people should understand there is a certain set of qualities that make a person fit to hold a position of authority. Personally, I have had to deal with a few of the worst abusers of power imaginable, which allows me to differentiate between those people who hold power but do not deserve it and those who would make natural leaders but do not seek to be, at a cost of a variety of unpleasant memories I'd rather forget and a lingering distrust towards power and authority figures in general. Whether or not you care is irrelevant, as I'm merely forming a rebuttal to your statement that my judgment is incompetent in order to kill a false accusation and to partially satisfy my own ego.
I was so looking forward to this for realz in dragonborn.

With my birthday coming up in the very near future I was thinking about some of the things that annoy those of us getting up in years. I am grateful several female friends shared their pet peeves. These aren't in any particular order.
1. Print so tiny in phone directories that they require magnifying glasses.
2. People who talk too fast and run their words together. Biggest offenders are some of the people who take orders at drive-thru establishments.
3. Being passed on to people in India and other far-away places when you phone to ask for explanations on billing statements.
4. Tight underwear and pantyhose. It puts me in a bad mood every time I wear them.
5. The loud volume of most movies, and coming attractions, that require ear plugs.
6. High-pressure sales people.
7. Being invisible (to some people); having to take driving tests, rude kids, memory loss.
8. People who criticize our country, and don't do anything to improve it.
9. Teenagers who saunter across the street like they have all the time in the world.
10. Assuming that complaining about loud music is an older person's problem.
11. People who talk on cell phones when they are shopping.
12. Squeaky chairs and shoes.
13. Drivers who fail to use turn signals.
14. People who leave a copier/printer with a paper jam.
15. The total disregard of people who litter.
16. People who put empty containers back in the fridge or on a shelf.
17. It is irritating to see people with mannerisms that we are guilty of as well.
18. Not able to do things that need to be done at 96 years of age.
19. Music so loud in restaurants that it drowns out all conversation with dinner partners.
20. Looking in a mirror and noticing my mother, or parts of her. In my mind I have a different picture of me than I see in the mirror.
21. Incompetence of those professing to have customer service.
22. Having to put up with annoying people who exaggerate.
Things that we appreciate as we age
1. Senior discounts.
2. Being pleasantly surprised when offered a seat.
3. One woman said she is glad she can tolerate heat more readily as she gets older.
4. Wisdom that comes from living this long.
5. Being able to give back to society.
6. Special joy of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
7. Drivers are more apt to stop when gray-haired people are in the crosswalk, and they often smile or wave.
A few quotes about women: "Next to God, we are indebted to women, first for life itself, and then for making it worth having." C. Nestell Bovee
"One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that would tell one anything." Oscar Wilde
"On one issue, at least, men and women agree: they both distrust women." H.L. Mencken
"Patience makes a woman beautiful in middle age." Elliot Paul
"Females refer to themselves as girls, especially after they reach middle age." Author unknown

Saul Rivera, who is surprisingly not related to Eli Whiteside, was acquired by the Diamondbacks. Big shakes, huh? Yeah, Rivera could get into the mix for saves. Another potential candidate for saves is… Wait for it… Here it comes… It's here somewhere… Where are my notes… Oh, here they are… That's my freakin' shopping list, and I didn't even spell minestrone right… Oh, here… Aaron Heilman! Not sure how the D-Backs are going to have a bullpen of Saul and Heilman. Sounds like the outtakes for Schlinder's List. Saul walks 3 batters and turns the game over to Heilman. Heilman enters and says, "I pardon you, Saul." Heilman will probably get exploited for being, well, not so good and having small fingers, but Qualls is close to getting removed from the closer role. Right now, Heilman's the setup man and he gave up a run yesterday. The Diamondbacks also dropped Bob Howry. Why? Because. Oh, and there's Juan Gutierrez. That's not a closerousel, THIS IS A CLOSEROUSEL! I'd own Qualls and Heilman. Gutierrez and I, we're like Kramer vs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hank Blalock
In September, Nick Markakis hit a wall like Super Dave Osbourne. For the month, he's currently ranked behind Grady Sizemore (who hasn't played since September 3rd), Cory Sullivan and Justin Maxwell for value amongst outfielders. If those names don't sound familiar to you, they shouldn't. They suck. Hold up, Albright. You're telling people to grab Edwin Encarnacion and drop Markakis?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hank Blalock was called Mr. September by his manager. I think he meant it as a compliment. Last year, he hit eight homers in 95 ABs in September. This year, batting .360. In the last seven games, it's up to .400 with 2 homers. Luckily, he's also playing every game, because he's the only one hitting for the Rangers, which means he'll continue to play. If you're currently rocking an underperforming corner guy try out Blalock. Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon! (BTW, I have a theory why Blalock hits well in September. The Texas summer tires the Rangers hitters out. By September, they're done, except for Blalock because he never plays a full season. So this theory would make even more sense if Blalock's other good month is April. Yup, checks out. In the last three years, April's his 2nd best month. Check. Mate.) Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Bronson Arroyo – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners. Guitar Arroyo continues to roll in the 2nd half. Hopefully, I don't have to field too many questions in March from people asking if they should draft Arroyo in 2010. You should not. I'm all for grabbing him next July though.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Eric Young, Jr. was in the September call up post, but it turns out he's a preemie by a week. Young has so many steals in the minors he's worth a pickup in every league. How many steals, you ask. Well, I was getting there if you give me a second. In the last four years of the minors, he has 87, 73, 46 and 58 steals, respectively. Or disrespectfully, holy effin hey, are you kidding me? In my never-ending rotation of schmohawks (thanks Beltran!), I dropped Alcides Escobar for Young in one league and chucked Drew Stubbs for him in another. Will Young play every day? Seems doubtful. He has been playing in the outfield for at least a few days and will occasionally spell Barmes — B-A-R-M-E-S. I think he'll see four to five days a week, but for those needing steals, you know the drill. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Johan Santana – Done for the season. This, and his lackluster (for him) season, might actually help Johan come at a discount in 2010 drafts. I wouldn't reach for him because I don't believe in drafting pitchers early, but I could see him falling into the 5th or 6th rounds of early drafts. The reason why I specify early is because once Johan looks good in spring training, he'll bump up a round or two. Then if Johan looks terrible in March, you'll want to trade him for Nick Markakis. Oh, and your fly's open. Don't ask me how I know.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Stop the press. Who is that? Vicki Vale? Nope. Ricky Romero, Ricky Romero. Yesterday, Romero went 8 IP, 0 ER, 7 Ks with 8 baserunners. Let's go in the Wayback Machine… Cue dream sequence music, activate wavy screen… Here we are back on April 20th, "(Romero's) walks are very low (for him), and he's left a lot of guys on base, so he will see a correction in his future (SMACK!), but his FIP is only 3.86 (now at 4.20). …Might want to try a little R & R.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Royals prospect Luke Hochevar was called up yesterday to replace Sidney Ponson in the rotation. But he's Aruba's favorite son! You know who I feel bad for? The Royals caterer. With Ponson out of the rotation, who's going to eat that side of cow he ordered? Hochevar has been lights out so far in the minors with a .90 ERA, .95 WHIP and 5-0. His 30 Ks in 40 innings is solid, not quite crazysexycool. He doesn't seem like the kind of pitcher that is going to dominate like, say, a Volquez last year. Fortunately, he's cut his walks this year. As I said with Cecil two weeks ago, you pickup Hochevar to see if dominates. Cause if he does dominate, people will start going gaga goo-goo for him and then you can flip him. Or you take the rookie pitcher's thunder, slide it next to your lightning and make it rain. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Joakim Soria – Went to the DL. Juan Cruz will fill-in mostly, with Jamey Wright maybe seeing the occasional chance. You're thinking, I'm not bothering with Cruz, Soria will come back and be fine. Who cares if he comes back and he's fine? Cruz may take the job and hold it for the next two months while accumulating 15 saves. Or maybe Soria returns fine in a week. All I know is Soria has said his sore shoulder dates back to WBC (Nice, Selig!) so maybe he doesn't recover that quickly. Add Cruz, ask questions later.
Please, blog, may I have some more?With these top 20 3rd basemen for 2009 fantasy baseball, we finish off the twenty lists for the infield. From weakest to strongest, the top 20s go top 20 catchers, top 20 shortstops, top 20 2nd basemen, top 20 third basemen then top 20 1st basemen. The outfielders will be coming up next, and I'm sure they'll be deeper than all of these lists, but that's just by virtue of the sheer number of them. If you want some overall perspective, look at our 2009 Fantasy Baseball Player Rater. In addition, there's a list of every player who has multiple position eligibility. Anyway, here's the top 20 3rd basemen for 2009 fantasy baseball:

If you're looking for ideas about handling video presentations at medical conferences, you may want to attend the 2002 Annual Symposium and Congress of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators, to be held June 1-5, 2002 in Philadelphia, Pa.
At this year's meeting, ASCRS will be holding its 20th annual Film Festival. Over five days, 166 videos of eye surgery will be shown. On Monday evening, June 3, there will be an awards ceremony for the best videos. The event is a major draw at the meeting.
The 2002 meeting will also feature 16 computer courses, ranging from "Internet 101" to "Computerization of Medical Records:The Experiences of Practices That Have Made The Transition Successfully." Other big draws include 14 skills-transfer courses. These are two-hour sessions at $175 each (above and beyond regular meeting registration fees) where surgeons get hands-on training in new techniques and technologies.
There will be two hours of unopposed exhibit hall showcase time, called "Eye and Buy." In fact, one of the stated objectives of the meeting, in addition to learning new and sharpening old surgical skills and getting up to date on current research, is to "view and examine state-of-the-art ophthalmic equipment and supplies."
The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery designates this continuing medical education program for a maximum of 40 credit hours in Category 1 of the Physician's Recognition Award of the American Medical Association.

It is great and I know I ordered it from a little catalogue that a friend had. I cannot find the company and it may no longer exist but the clothing was great (comfortable) and I am looking for it. No luck on line to date. Is anyone aware of this company and have a contact #??? Thanks.

Apple Focusing on iOS-Powered Fitness Technology
Before you spend too much time picturing Tim Cook all sweaty in a bedazzled tank looking like Silicon Valley's answer to Richard Simmons, let's offer some clarity to this most peculiar headline and underlying story.
According to the latest insight from Apple's patent escapades, Apple may be tinkering with iOS to enable future versions to deliver robust fitness technology capable of facilitating that which Nintendo's Wii did for avid video gamers: it made them more active.
The aforementioned technology was described in a patent filing issued in late 2011. If implemented, iOS-device users may soon gain the ability to enjoy an embellished version of that which we've grown familiar with (via the Nike+ iPod platform). Chief among the enhancements would be a real-time sharing functionality. In other words, you could share workout experiences.
"These treadmills may be located in the same building, or they may be located in different buildings, in different cities, or even in different continents," the patent filing reads. "In this example, media on one media player can be shared between the two treadmills. Also, data from both treadmills can be displayed on each treadmill, thus showing the users their respective standings in the competition."
Simply put, if they wanted to, Tim Cook and Steve Wozniak could "sweat to the oldies" together from opposite coasts in real-time.
Okay, I'm finished putting unwanted images in your head now.

Halloween costume this year?
New idea...Biggest losers...team based....across the globe...
What we need is maybe standard integration with sensor-filled gym equipment. Say, your iPod Nano talks to the treadmill and downloads and displays all the info on the treadmill. Step away from that machine (your data is uploaded back to the cloud, signs you out of the treadmill automatically) and go to the bench press and another small display will show how many reps in this set you'll need to do.
You could get an entire workout completed and tracked without taking your iPod out of your pocket, and it will allow you to stick to a regiment that is calculated to give you the best workout.
I wouldn't have thought twice about this if my mom didn't show me the Weight Watchers app - you can track all the foods you eat and document your food 'points' in order to lose weight - it's really a lifestyle enhancer. Cool stuff!
Now every time I see Tim Cook I'll immediately remember that picture.
CREEPY pictures Michael!!
Why don't they put gps in the nano and open up the full Nike+ app which we see on the iPhone. That with the ant+ technology already in the nano will make it an all in one gps, heart rate and indoor treadmill machine!!

I`ve found a protocol for histone extraction from S.cerevisia cells, but I don`t understand why I do some of the steps. Would be great if someone can help:
-Cells are harvested and washed
-zymolase treatment in 1.2 M sorbitol, 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4. Why the sorbitol?
-wash with 1.2 M sorbitol, 20mM PIPES, 1mM MgCl2 (pH 6,8). Again: why sorbitol? Why the shift in pH?
-lysis in 0.25 M sucrose, 60 mM KCl, 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1mM CaCl2, 15 mM MES pH 6.6, 0.8% Triton X-100, 30 mM Sodium Butyrate. Why sucrose and the salts? Why again pH shift?
-wash nuclei in the buffer above, then in 10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.5% NP-40, 75 mM NaCl, 30 mM sodium butyrate and in 10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.4 M NaCl, 30 mM sodium butyrate. Why these? Why not just continue washing in the buffer above.
-Extract in 0.4 N H2SO4. What exactly does the acid do?

Debt and credit—Jean gets the most questions on these two subjects! John Ulzheimer, consumer credit expert and author of Surviving Identity Theft, joins the show to answer some of your most burning questions.
How do I boost my credit score? First things first: You have to know why your score isn't higher in the first place, John says. Pull all of your credit reports from the three major reporting agencies: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. You may see that your payment history is muddy or that you've been shopping for credit too often. Once you know the root of the problem, you can come up with a game plan. If I want to buy only one report, which is best for me? It depends on where you live, John says. In the Southeast, you want to go with Equifax; in the Northeast, TransUnion; and on the West Coast, Experian. I'm a victim of identity theft. What should I do? Focus on making sure that your credit report hasn't been damaged, John says. Look for new accounts, but also zero in on inquiries, which can lower your credit score. You can get both removed, but it takes time. John suggests that you keep track of your correspondences with the agencies. Should I close credit cards that I'm not using? No, John says. Closing your accounts will tank your score, which takes into consideration the percentage of outstanding credit that you're actually using. |

A prominent fragrance, a clean and fresh taste, with flavor deep into the recesses. Truly one of the "Rolls-Royces" of saké.
Each year, after the temperature drops below 14 Fahrenheit, Takasago builds an Ice Dome outside the main kura building. It is an igloo inside of which the temperature stays about 28 F, with 90% humidity and no wind The low temperature means "nasty bacteria" cannot survive, allowing them to make clean, pure, ultra-premium saké. Additionally, they separate the clear saké from the fermenting rice lees not by pressing, but rather by putting it into canvas bags and allowing the saké to drip out slowly overnight.
Takasago Shuzo was originally established in 1899 in Asahikawa City in Hokkaido, under the name Kohiyama Shuzo (our family name). We struggled, but continued to produce sake during the war. In 1965, we merged with another sake brewer in Asahikawa, and changed our company name, as well as the name of our sake, to Takasago. Our white-walled kura, built in 1909, is one of the more...Read More About Takasago
Junmai-Daiginjo Taking saké a level further than Ginjo, Daiginjo saké has a suimai buai of 50% - meaning that at least half (many producers do more) of the rice has been milled away, leaving only the purest starch in the center. Daiginjo is of the highest quality level saké, creating a delicate, fragrant, yet powerful saké. Flavor profiles can differ for Daiginjo, depending on the type of water and variety of rice used. This is the highest quality level for saké when it comes to degree of milling.
