Is your nose stuffy or runny? Eyes itchy? Throat scratchy? Allergies are nothing to sneeze at.
Allergy season depends on where you live and if you are allergic to grass, trees, weeds, or dust mites, according to Myngoc Nguyen, MD, chief of Allergy for Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center. If you are allergic to all of these things—and more and more people are—and if you come into contact with what you are allergic to, then your symptoms can last year-round.
Kaiser Permanente had a Q&A with with Dr. Nguyen to gain a better understanding on allergies, which affect one in five Americans and account for 17 million outpatient visits a year, according to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America.
What are allergies and why do some people get them?
The body is overreacting to a harmless substance such as dust, pollen, plants, medications, or foods. Some people are born with a predisposition, and it can trigger at any time. Allergies symptoms include a runny nose, a rash, or something more life-threatening, such as a drop in blood pressure or an inability to breathe.
Is there an allergy season?
It depends on the area and what type of allergies you have. In Northern California, January to July is the season for people who are allergic to grass and trees such as junipers and ciders. In August and September, it's weeds. Dust mites can be a problem year-round, but tend to be worse from October through December.
Can you outgrow allergies?
I wouldn't use the word outgrow, but I think you can be in remission for whatever reason. It often happens if someone moves locations. But it can also happen if you are not stressed, eat healthy, and exercise. All those factors can help with allergies and explain why some years are worse than others.
You've been treating allergies for 26 years, do you see any trends?
More people are allergic. And it's more of every kind of allergic reactions: hay fever, skin such as hives or eczema, asthma. We don't really understand why, but we think it may be because of global warming. When we have a warmer, drier climate, the grass and trees live longer, and there's a higher pollen count because there's no rain to wash it away.
What are three good tips to alleviate allergy symptoms?
Check out pollen.com to find out the pollen levels in your area. You can also use the site to look up four-day allergy forecasts for your zip code, and sign up to get email alerts. The more information you have, the better prepared you'll be to manage your symptoms.
Another tip is to keep doors and windows closed and use the air conditioner. Be sure to set the AC to recirculate, and if it's not hot outside, you can keep it in filter-only mode. Using a car air conditioner can reduce the amount of pollen you breathe in by as much as 30 percent.
Room air purifiers and filters are an extremely effective way to remove pollen, animal dander, dust, and other allergens from indoor air. But doors and windows in the room where you're using one must be closed for it to be effective.
What do you recommend to allergy sufferers who love the outdoors?
If you love an outdoor workout, avoid the morning or early afternoon. Grasses and trees start releasing pollen at sunrise, with levels peaking in the late morning and early afternoon. I always suggest people run after work in the late afternoon or evening. I'd also recommend taking medication regularly and doing a nasal rinse during pollen season.

Confronting his cyber alter-ego
Noon-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday / Corridor 2122, 2122 Mono St. / corridor2122.com / Free
Christopher Lopez, an art professor at Willow International Center, is interested in what the future holds for us as social beings. His installation piece "It's About You," on view through Sunday, toys with the obsession that many of us have with Facebook and other social-media platforms with our "cyber alter egos" — which in Lopez's case bears a striking resemblance to Brad Pitt. The installation includes two LCD screens that "confront" each other in a one-sided conversation.
Says Lopez: "Many of us think we are exchanging true conversations through this media, but we are not experiencing the immediate psychological and physiological responses from the other person. It is easier to communicate through our cyber selves than our real selves. Therefore, the true self may later be replaced by the simulated self."

Pollywog Crew is L.A.'s only ongoing Beastie Boys tribute and the band — three MCs and a DJ — doesn't take it lightly.
This isn't the frat-boy party-time Beastie Boys one might remember from the group's "Licensed to Ill" days. Pollywog Crew chooses to portray the band as it was later in its career.
"It was more true to the style of hip-hop we were doing on our own," says Dino Carrillo (D-Rock as he's known in the band).
They also choose to perform the songs not as carbon copies of Beastie Boys records, but more like what they would have done at their live shows. So you might hear the song "Root Down" done over a beat from Wu-Tang Clan, Carrillo says.
Beastie Boys stopped performing after the death of Adam Yauch in 2012.

All's Wells that lends well
Welcome to the Counterparties email. The sign-up page is here, it's just a matter of checking a box if you're already registered on the Reuters website. Send suggestions, story tips and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Being boring continues to be highly profitable for Wells Fargo. The nation's largest bank by market cap reported $5.1 billion in earnings today, another record quarter. Lending continued to grow, and the bank originated $125 billion in mortgages, up 2% from last quarter.
The FT's Tom Braithwaite explains why Wells Fargo's shares went down rather than up today: its net interest margins — the profit it makes on the difference between what it borrows at and what it lends at — continues to fall. The WSJ reports that banks like Wells Fargo have too many deposits and complain of having too few creditworthy borrowers:
Deposits reached a record $10.6 trillion at the end of 2012, according to Market Rates Insight Inc., a San Anselmo, Calif., firm that tracks deposit data. Meanwhile, the share of each deposit dollar that banks lend out hit a post financial-crisis low in the third quarter.
But is Wells Fargo's business model still too opaque for investors or regulators to comprehend, as Jesse Eisinger and Frank Partnoy argue? Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf was dismissive: the "company is pretty plain vanilla… I've never seen us be more transparent". Matt Levine puts it a different way: "if Wells is a giant hedge fund, it's a pretty boring one". If Wells is putting its cash into opaque investments rather than lending it out, Levine writes, it's mostly investing in very low-risk assets. Wells just has "more cheap funding than it knows what to do with".
Wells shareholder Warren Buffett doesn't share Eisinger and Portnoy's worries. US banks, he says, "will not get this country in trouble, I guarantee it… The capital ratios are huge, the excesses on the asset side have been largely cleared out". (Buffett is an investor in four of America's seven largest banks.)
For the moment, those excess deposits seem to be invested very conservatively, which means that Buffett may be right. But there's still nothing, really, to stop that cash from someday ending up in CDX.NA.IG.9. — Ben Walsh

Disclosure ahead of time: I'm long Wells (actually Wells Fargo's 2018 TARP warrants, but I've also been long the stock in the past).
Yes, Wells is a hedge fund like all the other big banks.
The good news is that it is much less of a hedge fund than all the others. I think they have a small investment bank, which they acquired when they bought Wachovia during the crisis. They didn't have one before, they were solely a retail bank.
But still, Warren Buffett's thing is that he mainly invests in companies whose management he trusts. He has very high trust in Wells' management. And certainly, they have been the least unstable of all the banks. I very much doubt that Wells would put any significant sum in CDX.NA.IG.9. There's nothing to stop that bar good management, but Wells has good management. Wells has always stuck to its knitting, and they've always known that whatever crap the other banks are spinning, they just need to stick to their knitting and they'll profit well enough.
Of course, Wells may have exceptional management and exceptional discipline in keeping their hands out of the casino, but Wells is at the 90th percentile in terms of management quality and discipline. We can't write public policy assuming that all the banks are as sane as Wells. Just as we can't write public policy assuming that all of the banks which dabbled in investment banking had as good risk management as JP Morgan – because as it turned out JP Morgan was not as good as they thought they were.
If we forced the banks to break up, I personally would be unhappy for Wells, but it could well be the best step for the country. Or we could force all retail banks and all investment banks to hard divest. Whatever. I think we can be not skeptical of Wells and still think that the banks need major reforms.

Amo & Lario Net Spain's Second Men's FIVB U-21 World Championship
Porto Santo, Portugal, September 19, 2004 - Eighth-seeded Miguel Angel Amo and Inocencio Lario captured Spain's second men's FIVB U-21 World Championships for Beach Volleyball players under 21 years old here Sunday afternoon by defeating 24th-seeded Valters Ramma and Toms Smedins of Latvia in the gold medal match.
With the 20-year old Lario hampered by a right thigh bruise, the Spaniards posted a 21-19 and 21-12 win in 32 minutes to defeat Ramma (19 years old) and Smedins (18), who had to qualify for the 24-team Main Draw.
"My thigh was hurting, but winning the gold medal makes the pain go away," said Lario as he and Amo (19) followed in the footsteps of Pablo Herrera and Raul Mesa, who captured the 2002 FIVB U-21 World Championships for Spain in Italy. "Winning the gold medal was very important for us and we played well for today's two matches."
Lario hurt his thigh in Sunday's second semi-final match as the Spaniards rallied from a first set defeat to upset second-seeded Moisés Santos (20) and Pedro Solberg Salgado (18) of Brazil 19-21, 23-21 and 15-13. The 68-minute semi-final match, the longest of the competition, also featured the two countries that competed for the first two FIVB U-21 titles in France (2001) and Italy (2002).
Ramma and Smedins earned a spot in the finals with an 18-21, 21-18 and 15-13 win in 59 minutes over 20th-seeded Tom Götz (19) and Stefan Uhmann (18) of Germany in Sunday's first semi-final match at the new Beach Sports Stadium on Penedo do Sono. It was the eighth-straight win of the competition for the Latvians, including two qualifying wins Wednesday.
"Except for our last set against the Spaniards, we played very good Beach Volleyball this week," said Smedins, who had finished fifth and ninth at the last two FIVB U-18 World Championships with different partners. "I don't think we tired in the last set. It was a case that the Spaniards just played better and took advantage of our mistakes."
As for the experience this week, Ramma called the event "excellent. I really enjoyed myself and the organization did a good job. Obviously, we had a tougher road to the finals than the other teams, but an opportunity to win a gold medal at a major event does not come along every day. I am just disappointed that we didn't play better at the end."
In the bronze medal match, Santos and Solberg Salgado posted a 21-17 and 25-23 win in 39 minutes over Götz and Uhmann. The Germans had also qualified for the Main Draw with a preliminary win Wednesday.
Presented by SWATCH, the FIVB U-21 World Championships concluded two weeks of international events for players under 21-years old. The FIVB U-18 World Championships were held last week in Termoli, Italy, where teams from Lithuania (men, Arunas Kirsnys and Arvydas Miseikis) and Poland (women, Katarzyna Urban and Joanna Wiatr) won the gold medals.

And with the 189th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks pick long snapper Tyler Schmitt from San Diego State University.
It's hard to explain the overwhelming emotion in that moment once realizing my dreams had quickly become a reality. The countless hours in the weight room, the blood and sweat left on the field, and the number of years spent perfecting my craft had finally come together. Reaching the top of your profession is truly one of life's most precious honors, and I was thankful for the opportunity and excited for the new challenges it presented. But unfortunately, soon after training camp I had to undergo a major procedure to correct my back that lead to me being released from the team shortly after. I was disappointed to know that my NFL career was coming to an end and thought to myself, "how can I continue to fulfill a life of passion and drive?" now that my football career has ended.
Nearly five years later, my life traveled down a completely different path. Once I moved back to Arizona, I discovered the beauty and serenity of the Arizona desert and was inspired to become a landscape photographer. The different colors, climates, and textures are all parts of Arizona that I continue to capture in my photography. From the cactus-lined deserts to the snow-capped San Francisco Peaks, there are so many elements of Arizona that are so picturesque.
One of my favorite places to capture images from in Arizona is the stunning landscape of Sedona. In particular, Cathedral Rock, it is a place of inspiration and majestic energy. It is a steep climb at a 600 foot elevation, located off the 89A, this 1.5-mile hike provides some of the best views Arizona has to offer. Similar to my journey in life, there are many platforms and lookouts as you make your way up Cathedral Rock, but the view at the top is truly astounding.
Cathedral Rock is one of four formations in Sedona and is believed to contain a power vortex, which is located in the "saddle" at the top of the mountain. The trails are moderate to difficult, depending on the path you take. I decided to begin my adventure up the mountain in the early morning, so that I was able to hike in cooler weather, which I definitely recommend. The most photographed formation at Cathedral Rock is said to have feminine or magnetic energy, which encourages relaxation. Often times there are people practicing yoga on the mountain, which is breathtaking against the blue sky and contrasting red rock sandstone. I love watching all the visitors exploring – it is such an empowering place to experience.
In the photo above, I was able to capture Cathedral's beauty at sunset. As you climb up the rock and get closer to the peak, you too can experience the wonders of this beautiful location. The light shining across the red rocks, the sun peaking through the clouds, and the peace of the natural setting are just a few of the reasons why I find Cathedral Rock so special.
I realized throughout my journey that photography is my passion, as is discovering the unknown and being able to share my adventures with the world. I was once at the top of my profession through the game of football, but being at the top of Cathedral Rock in Arizona with my camera is an achievement that is far more meaningful.
Ty Schmitt was born and raised in Arizona then moved to San Diego to pursue his dreams playing football at San Diego State University. After being drafted into the NFL he moved back to Phoenix, where he discovered his passion for photography. He now spends a limitless number of hours capturing images of the beautiful state and all that it has to offer. Some of his favorite locations include Sedona, Flagstaff, Lockett Meadow, and the Superstition Mountains. To see more of Ty's work please check out his website at www.tyschmitt.com

Yet another example of the classic failure of our broken mental health system. If this guy didn't give all the clues of being suicidal what does? Tries to suicide in the intake area and they do nothing. Is allowed to be in jail without suicide watch? This most important piece was omitted from the story. Heads should roll in this one, but nothing will happen, the bureaucracy must protect itself with rationalizations and justification.

Julia from Alamo will be So pleased.
At least she won't have to tell him to wake up.

You have that right Cardinal...
Thank you for reading all my comments. Without good folks like you this chat section would be a giant waste of time. Never be afraid to express your opinion.
Most folks just want to go with the flow or the way the wind blows. Let the politicians go in that direction. All of us must WAKE UP and give our opinion. And remember Cardinal...not even I can please everyone.
Thank you acknowledging me. It is appreciated.

Wild Rice Pancakes Recipe
This recipe is a traditional favorite in Minnesota, where wild rice is widely harvested. These fritter-like pancakes are great for brunch or even a light supper.
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Canola oil
- In a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in butter until tender. Transfer to a large bowl; cool. Stir in the rice, milk and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually stir into rice mixture just until combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 2 tablespoons into oil. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
Editor's Note: Two-thirds cups uncooked wild rice yields 2 cups cooked wild rice.

DaVinci Fusion demonstrated its production expertise and quick-change artistry when it provided all production services for the Concours d'Elegance Fashion Show and, the very next night, produced a gala dinner for 680 VIPs, participants, and judges at the 54th Annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a world-class celebration of automotive design, craftsmanship, and history. This marked the 15th year of DaVinci Fusion's participation in the Concours d'Elegance with company president Solomon Rosenzweig serving as show director.
Cars and Clothes Take the Runway
The early-evening fashion show that kicked off the Concours weekend, jointly sponsored by Hearst Magazines and Lexus USA, spotlighted clothes and accessories from Saks Fifth Avenue and the latest Lexus automobiles. The event, staged in a huge tent on the grounds of The Lodge at Pebble Beach Equestrian Center, drew an invited audience of 1,800.
DaVinci Fusion outfitted the tent with a stage flanked by a pair of 9'x12' screens for image magnification and a 60' runway that extended into the audience and terminated in a turntable. The company supplied a full production and mixing package for the two-camera show which featured Sony camera gear and Christie 5000-lumen projectors.
DaVinci Fusion rigged the tent with special-effects balls, confetti cannons, strobe effects units, and smoke. The tent was also rigged with a complete lighting package, MAC 500 and 600 moving lights formed the backbone of the system. A Flying Pig Systems Whole Hog® 2 console provided lighting control.
"Each year we like to introduce new technology to further enhance the event," Rosenzweig reports. "For this show we integrated the MAC 2000 computerized moving light, with Apollo super-resolution gobos."
The gobos helped create complete scene changes into the fashion show's six segments. "This technique went miles to set the tone and mood of each segment and complement the music," he says, speaking of the projections.
For the automobile introduction, a 16' white roll drop was raised to reveal a Lexus SC430 Pebble Beach Special Edition convertible. The vehicle was enhanced by a light display of computerized lighting effects.
From Fashion to Food…And Fast!
DaVinci Fusion next focused on transforming the huge tent into the elegant, atmospheric Smokey Joe's Blue Note Café for the pre-Concours dinner catered by the Pebble Beach Company. To do so, the company altered the layout of the space, creating an elegant new decor and devising a lighting scheme that enhanced the cachet of the exclusive cafe.
"After the fashion show Friday evening, we removed the stage and turntable and added buffet tables and the sound system for Sista Monica [the entertainment for the dinner]," Rosenzweig says. "We changed the stage appointments to shimmery draperies to create an evocative background for the singer, washed the ceiling with blue musical notes in a play upon the name of the cafe, and gave the dance floor a full stage-lighting treatment."
DaVinci Fusion provided full turnkey event production to include the decor, linens, table decorations, lighting, sound, and entertainment for the dinner. DaVinci Fusion dressed the tables in zebra-, jaguar- and peacock feather-patterned linens accented by battery-operated lamps and floral arrangements. The company enhanced the "café under the stars" further with uplit palm trees and dramatic bouquets of flowers and peacock feathers that graced the buffet tables.
The gala dinner was sponsored by Chrysler and Jewelry By Gauthier: Wear Art with Far Niente Winery and Ketle One Vodka associate sponsors. In addition, DaVinci Fusion provided lighting for the sensational week-long 50th Anniversary of Ferrari display on the 3rd Fairway at Pebble Beach.

Cincinnati Bengals
Aaron Maybin - #51 - LB
|6' 4"/ 240 lbs.
|Ellicott City, MD
|Penn State
|Years played
|2009, 1st round, 11th pick by Bills
Key matchup: Steelers run defense vs. Bengals ground game
Can the Bengals get their running game going? We take a closer look in Saturday's key matchup.
AFC North Spin cycle: Costly win for Ravens
The Ravens inched further ahead in the AFC North race, but at a huge price with the losses of Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis.
Browns top Bengals for first win
Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes and the Browns snapped an 11-game losing streak, beating the Bengals 34-24 Sunday.
Key matchup: Browns return game vs. Bengals coverage units
Stopping Browns RS Joshua Cribbs will be a top priority for Cincinnati, PFW's Mike Wilkening writes.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Five
The Steelers got a win they desperately needed, and they got their running game going, too. More in this week's AFC North Spin cycle.
Bengals place RB Scott on I.R.
The Bengals placed RB Bernard Scott on injured reserve Monday and activated LB Dontay Moch from the suspended list.
Turnovers key Dolphins' win over Cincy
Dolphins S Reshad Jones intercepted Andy Dalton's overthrown pass at midfield with 1:22 left on Sunday, preserving a 17-13 victory over the Bengals.
Bengals' Green playing at elite level
Bengals WR A.J. Green has begun his second NFL season on a tear.
Week Five handicapping column
PFW's Mike Wilkening, 10-5-1 ATS through four weeks, largely sides with underdogs in Week Five, but one favorite also caught his eye.
Newman, Jones pressed into heavy service for Bengals
The Bengals have had to lean on reserve CBs Terence Newman and Adam Jones, and they held up well in the Week Four win at Jacksonville.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Four
While the Steelers rested in Week Four, the Bengals and Ravens pulled further ahead in the AFC North.
Dalton, Green lead Bengals past Jaguars
Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the Bengals beat the Jaguars 27-10 Sunday for their third consecutive win.
Key matchup: Bengals passing game vs. Jaguars pass defense
Can the Jaguars slow down the Bengals' thriving passing game? It's one of the more interesting story lines of Week Four.
Bengals re-sign S Crocker
The Bengals re-signed S Chris Crocker on Thursday, the team announced.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Three
In this week's AFC North Spin cycle, we explore the Ravens' soaring passing game and the Steelers' struggling pass rush.
The Bengals signed linebacker Aaron Maybin to a reserve/future contract on Friday.||||||| Maybin, a 2009 first-round pick of Buffalo out of Penn State, has played for the Bills and Jets, leading the latter in sacks (six) and forced fumbles (four) in 2011. Maybin has appeared in 47 career games, and was released by the Jets Nov. 13 last year. He will count on Cincinnati's active list beginning Feb. 4.
Maybin has been waived by the New York Jets, a season after he led the team with six sacks. Maybin was unproductive this year, registering just one tackle without any sacks on a team desperate for a pass rushing presence. He was inactive for the Jets' game at Seattle on Sunday.||||||| The disappointing 2009 first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills was signed by New York last season and revived his career. He was expected to have a larger role this season as an edge pass rusher, but failed to make an impact.
Maybin and Quinton Coples of the New York Jets have been fined by the NFL for separate hits on Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck last weekend.||||||| Coples, the Jets' first-round pick, was fined $10,000 on Friday for grabbing the facemask of Luck, the No. 1 overall selection, in New York's 35-9 win Sunday. Maybin was fined $7,875 for "unnecessarily" striking Luck with his elbow after blocking him during an interception return by Antonio Cromartie. The penalty wiped out Cromartie's touchdown.
Maybin signed his one-year restricted free agent tender on Monday, as expected, and returned to the team after a breakout season.||||||| The tender was worth $1.26 million, his original first-round draft level. Maybin was a first-round pick of Buffalo, No. 11 overall, in 2009 but struggled to get playing time in two disappointing seasons with the Bills. He was waived last August and signed by the Jets, but cut after training camp ended. New York re-signed him in late-September and Maybin ended up leading the Jets with the first six sacks of his NFL career.
The New York Jets have re-signed linebacker Aaron Maybin, hoping the former Buffalo Bills draft bust can boost their pass rush.||||||| Maybin, a first-round pick of the Bills in 2009, was signed by the Jets in August and cut Sept. 4 after he made New York's initial 53-man roster. He failed to live up to his lofty draft position while in Buffalo, registering no sacks and never making it into the starting lineup. But Jets coach Rex Ryan repeatedly said he was excited about Maybin's speed and potential as a pass-rushing outside linebacker before they cut him.

The IBC and PLASA 2006 shows will see several major new product releases from ADB Lighting Technologies, as well as an expanded accessory range.
On PLASA stand H19, the company will unveil two new ranges of luminaries in the Warp series, the HMI Warp/Daylight and the cool running, long lamp-life Warp/Ceramic, along with new Warp series accessories. Two new dimmers will also be on show, the Eurodim Sine Wave series and the Erack 50 Plus economy dimmer rack.
On IBC stand 11.539, ADB will show the improved Softlight RAH2502/S and RAP2502/S and the Eurodim Sine Wave Dimmer.
The new, HMI powered Warp/Daylight automated spot luminaries range, available in both motorized and manual versions, provides the brightest beam in the 575 discharge lamp range. A new fixture range with electronic flicker free ballasts, two different light output angles of 12-30 and 22-50 degrees, its light output is over 10,500 LUX.
The second launch at PLASA will be the high light output, cool beam Warp/Ceramic range for architectural and entertainment applications with the extra bonus of extremely long lamp life. Based on the Philips Ceramic ST 250 HR discharge lamp, with the coloor temperature of a tungsten halogen light source (3200K), it produces the same light output as a 1000W tungsten halogen lamp for only 250W power consumption, making it ideal for TV studios, architectural applications, galleries, and exhibition centers.
New accessories for the Warp range include a low-noise color changer and, for touring and rental users, a single unit flight case for the Warp/M. Two new dimmers have also joined the ADB product range. The Euro-Sine 3 and 5 kW sine wave dimmers for ADB Eurodim dimmer cabinets, previewed at Pro Light+Sound this spring, are based on the proven and reliable concept of ADB's Eurodim family. They will be on show at both IBC and PLASA. For lower budget fixed installations including studios and schools, the newly upgraded Erack 50 Plus fixed installation economy dimmers will be launched at PLASA.
Finally, IBC visitors will get the chance to see ADB's newly upgraded Softlight RAH2502/S and RAP2502/S television studio fixtures. This Soft Light is designed to give extra soft shadowless light from a 2500W halogen light source. A range of accessories, such as barndoors and eggcrates, is already available.

When presidents play politics
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 at 4:56 p.m.
We might like to think of our presidents as meeting with foreign leaders and studying dossiers in the Oval Office, but they also serve as leaders of their political parties.
In George W. Bush's case, he's still the Republican Party's top elected official, and reporters can't help but ask what he thinks about happenings on the campaign trail.
Former President Bill Clinton is even closer to the action with his wife running for office.
As Election Day approaches, we'll be treating current and former presidents like the political players they are and running their statements through our Truth-O-Meter. Consider yourselves forewarned, Jimmy Carter and George H.W.!
In the past week, Bush and Clinton made statements that we found worth checking and neither one of them did very well with accuracy:
* Clinton defended himself against critics of his remarks about Sen. Barack Obama. "Everything I have said has been factually accurate," Clinton said.
Excuse us, sir, but that's baloney. We checked Clinton's campaign trail statements previously and found one False and another Half True . Now we must find Clinton's new claims of accuracy to be False .
* George W. Bush, meanwhile, gave an interview over the weekend to Fox News Sunday in which he said Obama wants to "attack Pakistan and embrace (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad." Um, not even close. Obama said he'll go after terrorists hiding in Pakistan if the authorities there don't, and he promised a diplomatic effort with Iran. We rated Bush's statement False .

Saw this interesting article dismorning on my local paper's site... thought it might be of some interest. Being born in Saginaw and living in Florida for most my life...going to Tampa games, I happen to be both a Bolts and Wings fan. My true love lays in Detroit though, of course. So can't help but to have some mixed emotions on this possible move. On one hand I think it couldn't be a better move for the Lightning and am all for it. On the other hand I have always imagined Stevie Y staying in Detroit for life. I don't know what to think... Feel bad for even posting this at such a crucial time in the year, but didn't want it to go without mention. Guess I'm just not going to worry about this 'till the off-season. Until then we've got a Cup to get back and their's chum in the water!! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WIM remembers the career of Steve Yzerman and his impact on Hockeytown.
NHL.com talks to Steve Yzerman about Team Canada's orientation camp, which kicks off on Monday in Calgary.
Through it all, Heatley dodged all media requests for interviews to tell his side of the story. He also chose not to attend linemate Jason Spezza's wedding in Ottawa and backed out of a speaking engagement in Toronto. His silence is set to break. Finally. On the urging of Hockey Canada, the 28-year-old is expected to hold a news conference and teleconference Friday in Kelowna. "I believe Dany will address the media on the issue prior to the camp," Yzerman said. "In fairness to the Senators' fans and the media, it needs to be addressed. It has to be addressed."-- Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald

Former cast members of "Full House" got together to celebrate John Stamos' 50th birthday. It was a Tanner family reunion.
Stamos turned the big 5-0 on Aug. 19 (he still has great hair) and Ashley Olsen, Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, among hundreds of other guests, partied at Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood on Monday.
Once things settled down, photos from the evening began to appear on Twitter.
As for the birthday boy, he had a great time.

I was looking forward to cruising on the newly refurbished Pacific Pearl, as I had followed their blog during the new fit-out and was suitably impressed with the new public areas.I shared a outside quad cabin on deck 9 with previous cruising friends, the cabins were not updated in the refurbs, but were typical of P&O ships, comfortable, clean and we were well looked after by our cabin steward Arnel. My cruising buddies and I prefer to dine in the restaurant and really enjoyed the new Waterfront Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we even managed afternoon tea on cruising days. We prefer a late dinner and had no problems booking table 246 each evening for 8pm. A varied menu with suitably sized meals, great service (thanks to Tiki and Maldon) and food left us with no complaints. We did visit the Plantation Restaurant for a late lunch after returning from Port Arhur, usual buffet style food and plenty of it.
As I like a relaxing cruise I spent most of my time with a good book in the Dome, the views were amazing especially cruising in and out of ports. The sports quiz each evening was a fun half hour. What really impressed me was the rear deck areas, we were only 6 cabins from the door out to the deck 9 rear area, so grabbing a pillow and a good book from the cabin we would crash on a deck chair and spend a easy cruising afternoon. I enjoyed the evening's entertainment in the Theatre, entertaining and getting more professional with each cruise I take.(I still have fond memories of Fairstar cruising 25 years ago when cruise guests were the entertainment).
I love cruising and really enjoyed this cruise. I'm already planning next years cruise hopefully from Perth to Christmas Island, Broome and Bali.

McCain steps in on Wright
By Robert Farley
Published on Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 at 4:17 p.m.
For months, Sen. John McCain had largely steered clear of the controversy surrounding some of the controversial comments made by Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He even chastised the North Carolina GOP for political ads that featured Wright.
But after Obama acknowledged to Fox News that "the fact he's my former pastor I think makes it a legitimate political issue," McCain seized the opening.
While in Coral Gables, Fla., on April 27, McCain took his own swipe at the political pinata known as the Rev. Wright.
"I saw yesterday some additional comments that have been revealed by Pastor Wright, one of them comparing the United States Marine Corps with Roman legionnaires who were responsible for the death of our Savior. I mean being involved in that — it's beyond belief. And then of course saying that al-Qaida and the American flag were the same flags.
"I can understand that Americans viewing these kinds of comments are angry and upset."
McCain is referring here to the now famous April 13, 2003, homily often referred to as Wright's "God damn America!" sermon.
Let's take the two items separately, as they come in different parts of the sermon. Here's a snippet on which McCain based his first comment:
"These people had ... an occupying army living in their country. Jesus ... calls them their enemies."
"Their enemies had all the political power," Wright said. "Remember, they had to send Jesus to a court presided over by the enemy. A provisional governor appointed by the enemies ran the civic and the political affairs of their capital. He had backing him up an occupying army with superior soldiers. They were commandos trained in urban combat and trained to kill on command.
"Remember, it was soldiers of the 3rd Marine Regiment of Rome who had fun with Jesus, who was mistreated as a prisoner of war, an enemy of the occupying army stationed in Jerusalem to ensure the mopping up action of Operation Israeli Freedom. These people were blinded by the culture of war."
It should be noted that there was no 3rd Marine Regiment of the Roman army. The 3rd Marine Regiment is an infantry regiment of the U.S. Marine Corps.
One could argue Wright was simply putting a modern analogy on a biblical account — that he was saying it was the Roman version of our 3rd Marine Regiment.
One could also argue that in a larger context, the Rev. Wright was subtly drawing parallels between those Roman soldiers and the modern American military.
Parsing the words of a preacher is tricky business.
Bill J. Leonard, dean of the Divinity School and professor of church history at Wake Forest University, said the sermon is an illustration of a rhetorical device — common to many African-American and Southern preachers, and used by Wright extensively — called a "Jeremiad." No, it's not named after Wright. Webster's defines it as "a prolonged lamentation or complaint" or "a cautionary or angry harangue."
Said Leonard: "If you start making it literal and pressing it on public issues, you are missing some of the point."
Leonard believes Wright is making reference to Abu Ghraib, where some U.S. Army military police abused and humiliated Iraqi prisoners.
The whole point of such a sermon is to be provocative, Leonard said. And good preachers hold their parishioners — and nations — accountable, he said.
One could certainly argue whether it is fair or appropriate to draw any parallels between U.S. soldiers and those Roman soldiers, or to what degree Wright was suggesting that they are similar.
McCain's recounting of Wright's statement seems an attempt to maximize the issue for sensational effect, but it certainly seems to us, based on Wright's interchanging modern language with the biblical tale, that he at least wanted his parishioners to consider a comparison of the two.
The same appears to be true for McCain's claim that Wright said the "al-Qaida and the American flag were the same flags."
Wright was making a point about Americans — and President Bush in particular — invoking God's name to justify the war in Iraq.
"We can see clearly the confusion in the mind of a few Muslims, and please notice I did not say all Muslims, I said a few Muslims, who see Allah as condoning killing and killing any and all who don't believe what they don't believe. They call it jihad. We can see clearly the confusion in their minds, but we cannot see clearly what it is that we do. We call it crusade when we turn right around and say that our God condones the killing of innocent civilians as a necessary means to an end. We say that God understands collateral damage. We say that God knows how to forgive friendly fire."
"We say that God will bless the shock and awe as we take over unilaterally another country, calling it a coalition because we've got three guys from Australia, going against the United Nations, going against the majority of Christians, Muslims and Jews throughout the world, making a pre-emptive strike in the name of God. We cannot see how what we are doing is the same thing that al-Qaida is doing under a different color flag — calling on the name of a different God to sanction and approve our murder and our mayhem."
Wright never said the two flags are the same. His point was that the two are the same inasmuch as some from both sides use God to justify their cause.
Now, that fuller context may not make people any more comfortable. But McCain's simplification of Wright's statement distorts its meaning.
In a speech before the National Press Club on April 28, Wright said much of the criticism of his sermons amounted to an attack on the black church.
"Black preaching is different from European and European-American preaching," Wright said. "It is not deficient; it is just different. It is not bombastic; it is not controversial; it's different."

Clayton went on to say that he's not happy with his role in the offense.
So we might be looking for trade options because Clayton isn't happy with his role? Trust me on this... Michael Clayton is NOT the type of player to cause a problem. However, he is a very honest person. If someone asks him if he's happy with his role, and he's not, he'll say no. But he's a team first guy...
Michael Clayton, TB Oct. 13 - 10:51 am et WR Michael Clayton has not scored a touchdown since his rookie season, a span of 18 games."It's tough as hell," Clayton said Thursday. "You want to be able to go out there and show what you've got. Sometimes, you ask yourself what's my future in this league?" Clayton went on to say that he's not happy with his role in the offense.

New board member pushes for fire sprinklers

Installing expensive sprinkler systems that are designed to protect property when there are cheaper ways to protect that property just on the off chance that doing so "might" save a life when there has been no loss of life in a school fire since 1933? What a waste of money!
on Nov 21, 2012 at 4:23 pm
I am grateful that the public schools in Mountain View (all three districts) have not lost a life to fire since 1933. But I do not accept the argument that merely saving property is not enough to justify sprinklers.
I hope the school districts will work toward sprinklers in all school and office rooms in a prudent and expeditious way.

"...teachers leave many materials in their classrooms that have sentimental value or that they purchased using their own money...."
Sentimental value? How about just to be able to teach! About the only thing inside a classroom that came with the job is the desks, textbooks, soap, and paper towels. Teachers get a small budget for classroom supplies, a copy machine code that allocates a certain number of copies, and access to some basic office and art supplies. The great majority of teachers spend thousands of dollars on everything else that you see inside the classroom.
Goldman needs to ask himself: Is it important to protect the tremendous amount of personal property that the hundreds of teachers in MVWSD keep at in their classroom?
Sounds to me like Nelson is thinking about the needs of students and teachers, which is a good attitude coming onto this school board.

A stretch of Interstate 84 east in Plainville has reopened after being closed for more than eight hours following an overnight crash.
State Police said a tractor trailer lost control and rolled over between exits 34 and 35 shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday, forcing them to close all lanes of the highway.
According to State Police, the truck was carrying Budweiser beer products.
The road remained closed while crews work to upright the truck and clear the highway of the beer and other debris.
There is no word on if anyone was injured as a result of the crash.

Renown Children's Hospital will be getting another donation from the Eldorado Casino.
Back in November, the casino presented the hospital with a 3D distraction device to help children who are undergoing uncomfortable procedures.
The same technology is used in their "Aladdin" shows, and since then they've raised enough money from tickets to donate another device.
The Aladdin show runs through Sunday. For more information, go to http://www.eldoradoreno.com/reno-entertainment/aladdin/
