Kobach seeks to end prairie chicken protection
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is backing a bill that would exclude the lesser prairie chicken from federal protection.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Kobach told the Senate Natural Resources Committee on Thursday that the bill would likely lead to a legal battle that pits state rights against federal law.
The bill would assert state sovereignty over non-migratory wildlife and declare null and void any federal law in Kansas on the lesser prairie chicken. Under the bill, state officials also would be allowed to charge federal officials with a felony for enforcing a federal law dealing with the lesser prairie chicken.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is deciding whether to list the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

We have all heard about how many people are driving to Little Rock or Nashville to catch a flight to avoid high Memphis prices.
But when you look at the actual numbers it is sobering.
In October of 2011 714,295 flew out of Memphis. Over the same one-month period in October 2012, 517,883 caught a flight out of Memphis, a drop of 196,412.
In comparison, from October of 2010 to October 2011 7,446,604 flew out of Memphis. Over the same period, from October 2011 to October 2012, Memphis International saw a drop of 1,569,819 passengers.
The 1.6 million passenger drop is 200,000 more people than every man woman and child that live in the Memphis metro area.
But if you're like many living in the Mid-South and have chosen not to fly out of Memphis International Airport - either due to the price of a ticket or poor connections you are probably not aware of just how much things have changed at the airport.
In November 2011, Memphis International was the No. 1 airport in the nation for on-time performance. That could be because you don't have a bunch of people getting in the way, or baggage, or anything else.
It has to be striking to air travelers who pass through Memphis and walk through the terminal or pass through security at just how many people are not here. You go to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, and you will find huge crowds of people returning from the holidays, heading back out on business trips or off for a ski holiday.
In Memphis you will find easy access - to everything. No long lines and no waiting.
Those who do come to the airport to pick up the few travelers who still fly to Memphis have noticed the drop off in passengers.
More jobs are going to be lost in February when the rental car business that surrounds the airport will be moving into the brand new empty parking garage. When that happens, all the bus drivers who have seen their passengers slowly dwindling, Will no longer be needed.
And the beat goes on, at Memphis International Airport.

Hey everyone...
With some time before my next class, I thought I would take a minute to say something I should have said some time ago. I've been on H&R for something over a year and taken part in most of the discussions we've had on this site. In those discussions, I tend to get pretty fierce when someone shows pessimism. I'm a current Purdue student and grew up in a Boilermaker family and also like T-Mill in that I'm an eternal optimist.
The point of this message is to apologize to anyone I might have offended in these discussions. This is the best Boilermaker community on the web. We're all Boilermakers and should all be on the same side. I intend to continue posting here. Now let's beat Illinois! Hail Purdue!

If your union or employee rights organization asked you to participate in a sick-out/blue flu to support an employee rights issue, would you do it, even if it put your job in jeopardy?
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology has been the "oh, wow" gadget for the past few years, and with good reason. ALPR can identify, screen, and record the license plates of more vehicles than an entire squad of police officers could handle, and can do it with greater accuracy and no fatigue factor.

Institute Goals
To advance general education reform on campuses, teams will work to
From Planning to Campus Action
In addition to attending participation-based workshops, a significant portion of the Institute curriculum is reserved for teams to work independently to advance their own campus's general education reform goals. During these periods, teams share ideas, map strategies, and consult with Institute faculty on specific obstacles or issues. Teams use this time to prepare a campus "action plan" to bring back to campus. The action plan is intended to represent initial and continuing steps for implementation and advancement upon returning to campus, key persons to engage in the change process, and a realistic timeline for accomplishing goals. Action plans are shared in small groups at the end of the Institute with two to three additional campus teams in order to receive helpful feedback and guidance from fellow Institute participants and Institute faculty.

So, we all know by now that Levi Brown has been lost for the season due to a triceps injury. While I have never been Brown's biggest fan, but let's face it he has been a scapegoat. His resigning speaks volumes to what Ken Whisenhunt is actually doing here in the desert.
Last season we went out and traded away our biggest playmaker on defense and a 2nd round pick for an unproven QB who showed flashes of being able to light up a scoreboard, then the front office went ahead and gave him a whopper of a contract. This deal may or may not have been made to keep Larry Fitzgerald in Cardinal red for his entire career, because if not for Jimmy Johnson trading Herschel Walker...well the trade we made for Kolb would be the worst in history.
Not to mention this same front office has nearly completely neglected to infuse some talent into our offensive, offensive line. Things are not all that bad though on Friday Ken Whisenhunt once again proved he will put the best people we have on the roster on the field regardless of anything....see Matt Leinart and Kevin Kolb.
Having a head coach that will put the best player on the field regardless, is once again another signal in the change of culture that has made it's way into the desert with Ken Whisenhunt, while we may or may not have the next Kurt Warner, Arian Foster, or James Harrison on the roster, if fans take notice of it, one has to imagine that the professionals in the league fully know that if they get the chance to see playing time in Arizona and set the league on fire that this is a team that will keep them on the field.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas wide receiver Daje (duh-JAY) Johnson, who the Longhorns are counting on as their big playmaker, will miss Saturday's game against No. 25 Mississippi with a sprained left ankle.
Johnson scored two touchdowns in Texas' season-opening win over New Mexico State but was injured on the third play of last week's 40-21 loss at BYU. Johnson's ankle twisted awkwardly when his leg was pinned under a defender.
Longhorns quarterback David Ash, who left the game in the fourth quarter after injuring his right shoulder and taking a knock to the head, is still being evaluated for this week's game.

When Elie Saab released his Francis-Kurkdjian-penned debut fragrance – 'Le Parfum' – in 2011, it quickly garnered praise as one of the most impressive feminine designer launches of the year. Since then it has maintained its popularity, spurring the release of an Eau de Toilette version in 2012 and a brand new intense edition for 2013.
"Inspired by the magical moment of dusk, mysterious and captivating, the floral oriental Elie Saab Le Parfum Intense tells the story of a woman who comes alive as the sun goes down. She is confidence incarnate, and wears her Elie Saab couture like a second skin."
For Le Parfum Intense, Saab has opted for a perfume that is richer and less diffusive than the original. This particular presentation of Le Parfum serves as a headier and more intoxicating version where the intensity of white flowers is amplified, along with vanilla to create a truly couture experience.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - An Albany sixth grader saved the life of one of her friends. That friend was talking and laughing and eating in a hallway at Deerfield Windsor school... when she choked on Chex Mix.
Fortunately, one of her best friends was in a room nearby and came to her rescue. 6th grade student Tarah Young is quiet, and unassuming. It's that cool, calm and collected demeanor that helped her spring into action last week when a friend was choking.
"I knew I couldn't breathe in that well or breathe out and it was stuck in my throat," said Heather Cox.
Heather Cox and her friend Ashley Murphy were running through the hallway, when Heather started choking, Ashley immediately ran to get help.
Ashley said, "I didn't really want to have to do the Heimlich because the only time I've done it was on my sister and I made her choke by doing it, so I was scared to do that so I just went and got Tarah."
Tarah was in the cafeteria doing homework. When she heard Heather was in trouble, she sprang into action.
"I ran down the hallway and Heather gave me a signal and I was able to recognize it and then I said turnaround and them I started the Heimlich and she was able to spit out the left over Chex mix," said Tarah.
Tarah says she just did what she knows Heather would do for her. Tarah said, "It makes me feel really proud and the most important thing is that I got to help a friend."
Dad Coley Young says he's not surprised at his daughter's actions, just filled with pride. He said, "As a parent, you are always proud when your children do extraordinary things. Obviously this was an extraordinary thing that Tarah did."
Saving the life of a friend in need. After Heather's choking episode, students in PE classes at Deerfield were taught how to do the Heimlich maneuver in case they are ever around when someone chokes.

Here's another map that let's you switch between map and satellite view, zoom into your neighborhood, and change the increase in sea level in one-meter increments. Web Link
Surprising how much will be flooded with a rise of only one meter. The SUN campus becomes an island with most of highway 84 and Willow Road underwater. Lots of neighborhoods in RWC west of 101 will be flooded too. Areas of Menlo Park and Atherton west of 101 look to be pretty protected for sea level rise as great as 5 or 6 meters.
I don't expect to live to see this but at current rates of global temperature increase I could be in for an inconvenient old age.

Steve, Steve, Steve...
It takes 10,000 gigatons of melted ice to raise the oceans by just ONE INCH.
To put amount ice into perspective, a sheet of ice one foot thick would have to cover the state of Rhode Island to be ONE gigaton. Now multiply that by 390,000 (39 inches x 10,000) and you and Al Gore will have that first meter you are so worried about.
on Aug 12, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Pogo -
And your point is . . . ?
"In the 20th century, sea level rise was primarily due to thermal expansion of ocean water. Contributions of melting mountain glaciers and the large ice sheets were minor components. But most climate scientists now believe that the main drivers of sea level rise in the 21st century will be the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (a potential of a 16-foot rise if the entire sheet melts) and the Greenland Ice Sheet (a potential rise of 20 feet if the entire ice cap melts)." Web Link
BTW - the area of Rhode Island is 2000 sq miles. The area of Antarctca is 5,400,000 sq miles. And the ice is a lot thicker in Antarctica than one foot (would you believe an average thickness of 6,500 feet (=78,000 inches)? Web Link
It doesn't take math skills or even imagination to anticipate sea level rises of the order of several meters - just a knowledge of the geologically recent past: "Melting ice on Greenland raised global sea level by three and half meters (about 11 feet) in the last interglacial," Rignot says, "this is where we are heading and it looks like we could get there much sooner than we thought."

text: In my estimation there are only a few "Classic Rock" (Pop-Rock) albums from the 80's that are worth owning, this is one of them, I have it, and you should too. Sure, there are other good Pop-Rock albums from the 80's, but most I can't stomach in their entirety, as very few stand the test of time. There are no bad songs on this album, and in fact they are all excellent, and not just excellent for their time, but excellent for today. It's now 2007 and this album from 1981 never sounds corny or shrill to me, as so many albums from the 80's do, this album stands the test of time. I certainly think that the listenability of '4′ is in large part due to the fact that John "Mutt" Lange was brought in to produce the album, who is arguably the best Rock producer of all time. Yeah, I know Mick Jones was co-producer, but I have no doubt that Lange is the reason '4′ turned out to be the revered "Classic Rock" album it is. To date '4′ has sold more than six million copies in the US, which is almost as many copies sold as AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell', which Lange also produced. How can you argue with six million copies sold, this is a very good album.

About Gallbladder Stones Removal
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What are gallbladder stones?
Gallbladder stones are formed when chemicals in the bile of the gallbladder form crystals that are sandy or gravel-like particles. Gallbladder stones cause pain in the upper abdomen which may shift to the right shoulder blade. Nausea and vomiting are also experienced by patients suffering from gallbladder stones.
What are the available options for treating gallbladder stones?
Surgery is a good option for removing stones from the gallbladder, if the patient is fit for surgery. There are two types of surgery:
Laparoscopic Surgery
This surgery is performed using a laparoscope, which is an endoscopic device with a video camera attached to it. In this surgery, a laparoscope along with several other surgical instruments is inserted through several small incisions in the abdomen. The cystic artery is divided, after which the gallbladder is dissected from the liver. Then the gallbladder is removed.
Open Surgery
An open surgery is performed if the gallbladder is infected, inflamed or if the gallstones are very large. The surgery is performed through an incision in the abdomen, usually in the upper midline or below the rib on the right side of the abdomen.
Shock Wave Therapy
This treatment is known as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. It uses lithotripters that are devices that produce the waves. The shock waves break up the gallbladder stones. Repeated shock wave treatments are required to remove the gallbladder stones completely.
Contact Dissolution
Contact dissolution is a method that is used to dissolve gallstones. In this treatment, a catheter is inserted through the abdomen. Through the catheter, chemical solvents are injected directly into the gallbladder.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery: 2 hours or less.
Contact dissolution of gallstone removal: 5 to 12 hours.

While i never expect this to happen (at least as an official patch) having the player count bumped up to 4 would make it incedibly diffilcult to ever put the game down.
This game needs 4 player co-op so badly. There is nothing worse than having to listen to two of your friends on skype having fun while you have to wait your turn.
I'm not that bothered about a free roaming mode, I have gta iv liberty city for that, but 4 player whored mode and mission co-op would make you feel like you were in a real crew.
Please please please work on a patch to make this possible!
I completely agree! It amazes me that it's limited at two players in the first place. Didn't Volition realize people would want to play with more people? I thought for sure it would be four players;I mean, you spend the whole game able to run around with four homies. SR3 is hands down one of the best games I've ever played; it's absolutely amazing. =D And I know there's got to be amazing stuff on the way. So, Volition, please please please release an update/patch/DLC for this (if I've got to throw down a couple of bucks, so be it). I can't think of anything that would make this game more absolutely perfect. After all, what's a gang of just two people? :(
I completely agree 100% with OP and Kammila. I was listening in on steam chat with two friends playing co-op. I was sitting there wishing there was a way for all of us to play. 4p Co-Op would be amazing. The fun factor of the game would just jump through the roof.
So please, lets get a 4p CO-OP Option in game asap :D
Please add 4 player coop my friends and I all got this game to play together.
if they added 4-player co-op i could just see people making left 4 dead parodys on the zombie island on youtube
More then 2 People would be really nice..But i don't think this is gonna happen due they have to rework the hole game then...
Take all of my money.

nothing to rework, just disable the main missions when more than 2 players are int he game. and for activitys just have it work for the 2 people closest to each other.

Madison County is working to reopen a historic gateway into Shenandoah National Park.
An outline of the Rapidan Road entrance was delivered Tuesday to the park's superintendent, Jim Northup.
The county wants to work with park service to create a low-impact road leading into the park - similar to the one traveled by President Herbert Hoover in the 1930s.
"We're not looking to make this a big commercial enterprise. This is going to be an entrance that fits with the rural character of Madison, with the natural beauty of the park. We're not looking to commercialize the park, we're looking to respect the park, at the same time to have the park respect the place in history that Madison has," said Ernie Hoch, a Madison County administrator.
Administrators say they plan to enforce a lower speed limit and to only open the road seasonally.

Coach of the Year: And I thought voting didn't matter
I was bored (and still sick .. wondering now if this flu is terminal) so I clicked on someones tweeting that they voted Coach Petersen Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. Looking at the rankings, I see Coach Petersen ranked #16, ~200 votes behind #15. Again, I didn't think much of this, as who cares about online fan voting ... real people make this decisions when it omes down to it, right? But then I wrote read this: "The top 15 coaches in each division will make the Evaluation Phase, where they will be judged on Coaching Excellence, Sportsmanship and Integrity, Academic Excellence and Community Commitment. The best coach will emerge victorious, but only if they're in the top 15 in their division, so keep voting!" In other words, if Coach Petersen doesn't make the top 15 in FAN VOTING by December 4th, he's not even considered for this particular Coach of the Year award. So, go register and vote. Register multiple accounts and vote (use your freshman year address and frat nickname). Get Coach Pete eligible, because, apparently, popularity is more important than pure obvious excellence in coaching talent.

This little liquor store in the middle of this area that's very close to the lake is pretty cool since he held a bottle of Dark Lord for me and I saw his wall of microbrews was extensive of the Denver area and it was part of his little corner of the store that was in the back whereas the front in filled with all of the liquor.
It was the middle of the day so he was there and was very happy to answer any questions. Although he seemed slightly unproffesional, but was very knowledgeable and curtious. He knew when the different beers were coming out and when they weren't going to be around anymore.
A nice little store with a good little selection with an owner that has an extensive knowledge.

Unfortunately, I learned that Murray's is going out of business within the next couple of days, or as of today.
I have read that the owner is a regular here at BA, so I don't mean to step on any toes, but I thought I should make it known.
As I have only recently relocated to Milwaukee, I was very excited to find this store. Having only stopped in a handful of times, I feel pretty bummed that they're closing. Hopefully I'll find a replacement in the area soon enough.
In any case, good luck to the owners.

Murray's Wine & Spirits is a great stop. Though lacking in sheer volume, many items here are hard to find elseware: namely single bottles of microbrews.
the staff is knowledgable about everything beer. be sure to seek out Chris the owner, he can answer any question you can think up!
Imports: decent selection, with some nice matching glassware. mainly singles, some 4 and 6-packs.
Microbrews: the strong point of the store. tons of singles that are hard to find elseware. great lines of capital, bells, and great lakes to name a few (all in singles as well as 6-packs).
Macrobrews: decent selection, all in coolers and 12-packs sitting out.
Glassware: small selection, though some i have never come across before.

Murray's is definately a solid place to look for some of the harder to find varieties in the milwaukee area. They carry a nice selection from breweries like rogue, dogfish head (including bottles of 120 minute IPA if you are looking), great lakes etc. Good selection of 6ers and 4s as well as a nice selection of some of the bigger boys, pints, 750s etc from great divide, rogue, and a decent amount of belgians (duvel, etc). Not the most extensive, but well assembles with a lot of great beer, enjoyed a 90 minute IPA from dogfish head from there this evening and it was great. As has been mentioned, Chris is extremely helpful and can make great recommendations especially if you are looking for unique things.

I had business in Chicago this past week, and was able to make the time to road trip up to Murray's.
Quality of the products was fine. No dust, appropriate seasonals. I drank one of the beers I purchased there that night, and no issues.
Service was fantastic. Chris is a hell of a nice guy, and he certainly knows his beer. He did a nice job of touring me around the store and pointing out things I might want to try, all while handling the folks popping in and out.
Selection was maybe not as wide as some stores I have been to, but it was very high quality. 3F, Bells, Dark Horse, New Glarus, Founders, etc. If you want a mid-west fix, this is a great place to go. Plenty of stuff from other regions and countries, but I try to buy local when I travel.
Overall, a nice guy running a great store. If you are in the area, you should make a point to stop in.

We went here on our way up to a cabin we'd rented in WI. Heard they had a good singles selection so we thought we'd check it out. We went in the back enterance, right by the singles shelves. 4-5 shelves, about half-full with singles, arranged by brewery. We saw Bells, Capital, Sam Adams, Tyranena, Oskar Blues, Furthermore, Sprecher, a good number of other ones. Picked up 2 mixed sixers. Across from theses were some coolers with whole six packs in them, and then there were more singles and sixers further up past the register. Found an old Sprecher Impy Stout that i hadn;t tried, and some Fish Tale Impy too. Also picked up a cool Delerium Tremens glass for $4. A nice place overall, not a ton of stuff, but what is there is quality.

Found myself in milwaukee from out of town and couldn't pass up murray's. i heard a lot of good things about the place from other BAs and even liquor store owners here in chicago.
right when i came in, chris was happy to show me the new arrivals he liked, and gave me quality opinions on everything i was interested in. he was getting slammed by multiple shipments coming in all at once yet he still managed to help out all his customers. the service at murray's is truly exceptional.
living in illinois myself, i was happy to take advantage of the 10% Bell's bootlegger discount he offers (10% off Bell's six packs for IL residents, now that Bell's isn't available there). the selection was not the hugest, but you could tell a lot of care was put into it. a couple different New Glarus Unplugged brews were represented, along with TONS of dogfish head 120 minute, 60th anniversary abt 12, and many regional varieties.
next time i'm back up in milwaukee (and have more money!) i will definitely be stopping by murray's again. chris runs a great establishment and i'm happy to frequent it!

This place has the best singles selection i've ever seen. After picking my jaw off the floor, the singles flew off the shelves into a mixed six-pack.
Chris/BA:murrayswine was there, and guided us through the selection, offering endless help and exceptional service. His recommendations were spot on, and very much appreciated.
Selection excels in regional/Midwest micros. Nice well-rounded group of Belgians & imports. Bells (ask about IL bootleggers), Dark Horse, Tyranena, and New Glarus were the main draw for me. Prices were reasonable, even a mixed-six discount, i'll be returning here...

This place is easily my favorite liquor store in the Midwest. After having grown up in Whitefish Bay and having since moved away, I look forward to returning here while visiting to restock my parents' refrigerator.
By far the best service I've had buying beers in any liquor store. Both Chris and Eric are extremely knowledgeable, patient and passionate about the beers they sell. They can take an idea or theme, some subtlety you enjoy, and run with it. Before you know it you're leaving with two cases worth of mix and match microbrew packs. Highly recommended.

This is a great Milwaukee beer store, with excellent service and good selection. The only ways I can think of to make this store better is to make it bigger (or make room for more beer by clearing out some of that dusty wine!) and to make it more convenient geographically to my home and work.
Chris, the owner, is active on this site, and advises members of new stuff via beer-mail. He's also working on a website that will detail new arrivals and in-store inventory.
In the handful of times I've visited this shop, I've never met Chris, but have always been taken care of by his very capable employee Eric. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about what's in stock, available, and going on with beer around town, and extremely willing to shoot the breeze with you about beer or help you find something.
There is a good selection of singles in this store, but the store could have more space devoted to singles. Murray's doesn't have the selection of Discount Liquor (Oklahoma Ave), but its smaller selection means its stock rotates much more frequently. Add on superior service, and Murray's is among the best two bottle shops in the Milwaukee area.

RaggieRags says: Lands of Lore 1 is still a great game, and also probably the easiest to start with in the genre. It's easy to get into but not easy to solve, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced gamers.
RaggieRags says: MM6 is not a grid-based RPG, but the rest of the pack are. MM1 and MM2 are probably too old for most gamers to enjoy, but MM3-6 are golden! Definitely recommended!
RaggieRags says: Not exactly a good old game, but a good game with an old soul. A Dungeon Master clone, meaning the emphasis is on puzzles and atmosphere, both of which it has in spades. An excellent game. If you are new to the genre, start with the "easy" difficulty.
RaggieRags says: A streamlined real-time grid RPG, suitable for all skill levels. Better than Stonekeep, but not by much.
RaggieRags says: Another streamlined grid RPG. Good fun, but not a classic. Also suitable for beginners, although I'd recommend Lands of Lore before this.
RaggieRags says: Known as *very* hard-core RPGs. Not for beginners.
RaggieRags says: Like many French games of its time, these games looked more interesting than they actually were.
RaggieRags says: These are very hardcore games, and I wouldn't recommend them for newbies.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

SHELBYVILLE, IL. — The Shelbyville Rams cross country team put an exclamation point on their historic, record-setting season by finishing with a 3rd place state trophy.
In a field of 210 runners and 25 teams, the Rams had their five scorers finish in the top 73 and all seven of their runners finish in the top 130. According to Ram coach Kevin Kramer, it was the Rams highest finish ever.
"They topped the 6th place 2007 team of Clayton Baker, Shaun Nibbe, Ryan Brown, Jeremy Reel, Nick Selby, Kaleb Pruemer, and Nate Bly, Coach Kramer said. "They also shattered the team time record of the 1999 team that ran a 1:21.07. Those team members were Jerod Galvin, Lucas Kramer, Jim Hood, Jason Hubbartt, Doug Powers, Nic Danneberger and Matt Pierson. The Rams set a new standard of 1:19.42.
The Rams also had the best 1-5 man split of all the teams at State as they were just :38 seconds apart, a team average of 15:56. It was a very impressive performance by the Rams.
Shelbyville won virtually every big meet they ran in this season, until the regionals. At the Carlinville Regional the Rams came in 2nd to Mt. Zion. At the St. Anthony Sectional, the Rams came in 3rd to higher-ranked St. Thomas More (Champaign) and, again, Mt. Zion.
However, at State, the Rams beat Mt. Zion, who placed 6th, while St. Thomas More won the state title and Elmwood, also a great running program, placed 2nd.
Leading the way for the Rams again this week was senior Alex Matlock, who ran a 15:35 for 31st place.
"Alex time put him tied for 4th on the all-time top time list for Shelbyville runners on the state course, Coach Kramer said. "Alex ran a very good race. I think he was initially a little disappointed in not getting all-state, but this was a tough year and once he found out the team had placed third he was all smiles."

It is March 4 and the snow if flying. If you don't like the weather in Northwest Ohio, just wait 24 hours and it will likely change! So true for the entire last month. We are adding a north addition onto our older original barn. We were able to pour the concrete foundation in 40 degree weather. This past week the walls were studded in and hopefully tomorrow will bring the trusses. The addition is not to add more animals to our farm, but to allow for better care for our animals during all phases of Ohio weather.
In December we added a border collie to the menagerie we call R Farm. He is a lively addition and loves to herd anything that moves! As new Border collie owners, this has taken some adjustment to understand. The ducks rightfully ignore him and he ignores them. The pony has not learned this lesson. :) However, the dog has quickly learned the paces around the farm and is starting to respect our verbal commands. This brings more harmony to the daily chore time!
We are all yearning for true spring and the start of preparing the land for planting. A little sunshine would be welcome too. We will keep you posted on the barn progress!

Will General Motors See a Turnaround After Recent News?
With shares of General Motors (NYSE:GM) trading around $38, is GM an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
General Motors designs, manufactures, and markets cars, crossovers, trucks, and automobile parts worldwide. The company markets its vehicles primarily under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Opel, Holden, and Vauxhall brand names, as well as under the Alpheon, Jiefang, Baojun, and Wuling brand names. It sells cars and trucks to dealers for consumer retail sales as well as to fleet customers in daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies, and governments.
General Motors has dropped 6.6 percent in January after gaining 14 percent during the last three months of 2013. Ford (NYSE:F), on the other hand, has gained 6.1 percent this month, after dropping 8.5 percent during the last three months of last year. General Motors' slump can be attributed to its sales announcement on January 3 when it missed forecasts by a mile. Now, however, Morgan Stanley's (NYSE:MS) Adam Jonas and team think the stock looks "more interesting."
They explain that, "We cut our estimates materially on the back of 2014 guidance provided at Detroit. Our adj. EBIT drops from $11.4bn previously (6.8 percent margin) to $10.0bn (6.1 percent margin), on lowered expectations in GMIO, GMNA, and GME. While 25 percent upside comes with high risk, we think GM is more interesting now. We think the new guide is appropriate given increasing competition and slowing growth in N America, operational and FX challenges in non-China EM and a new mgmt team setting the bar after 5 years of TARP compensation limitations. Following the guidance reset, we believe the company has slightly positive earnings revision risk. We also believe investor expectations for a share buyback are far lower following Detroit — finally. The challenge of owning GM is that the company is still in the early innings of executing its structural turnaround while the US auto cycle is approaching the later innings."

Dear Abby: I am appalled at older workers who hang onto their jobs so they can live lavish lifestyles, while young workers trying to support families are left with lack of advancement or even laid off because they don't have tenure.
I am a single mom, and when my sons are out of college I plan to take a less stressful job (and thus less pay), so a younger person can have my job to support a family. I am so tired of the ME ME ME attitude of our society now. In the past, there was more of a sense of social responsibility. Now it's every man for himself and hang everyone else!
Disgusted in Columbus, Ohio
While your altruism is laudable, please try to be less judgmental. Many older people work longer these days not to live lavish lifestyles, but to survive.
Unless you have a crystal ball that enables you to see what seniors have in the bank, it's presumptuous to say someone should retire. Many seniors are unprepared financially to do so through no fault of their own. And while you may think now that you'll take a reduction in pay when your sons are out of college, it remains to be seen if that will be feasible for you when the time comes.
Dear Abby: My cousin died a short time ago at a very young age and in an unnatural and devastating way. As soon as people outside the family started finding out, they began asking what happened. Many of these questions were posted on my relatives' Facebook pages.
Is it just me or isn't that a very insensitive thing to do? It's not just that they are asking questions of a grieving family who lost their son only hours before, but that they did it through Facebook.
Mourning in the Midwest
Please accept my sympathy for your family's tragic loss. We live in an age in which respect for privacy has nearly disappeared, and folks routinely bare intimate and sensitive details about their lives on the Internet. If a person wishes to convey this kind of information, it is usually done VOLUNTARILY, and certainly not when feelings are raw.

Midnight strikes and the Phils' bullpen turns back into Antonio Alfonseca
September 24 2007
The Phillies saw their ten-game road trip and the remarkable run by their bullpen both come to an end at about the same time yesterday afternoon. The Phils took a 2-1 lead into the sixth but fell as their pen gave up four runs in three innings.
It can't all be blamed on the bullpen. The Phils' hitters didn't give them much offense. They scored just three runs on seven singles and one extra-base hit, a ninth-inning double. Nats' starter Joel Hanrahan struck out seven in 4 2/3 innings while holding the Phils to a single run. He lowered his ERA on the year to 6.02.
The Phils went 8-2 on the ten-game stretch. During the ten games the Phils' pen allowed 15 runs in 40 1/3 innings. Eight of the 15 runs they allowed came on September 17 in St Louis. Two of the runs they allowed on the trip were unearned, so they allowed 13 earned runs in 40 1/3 innings (2.90 ERA).
Over the last ten games the offense scored five or fewer runs five times. The bullpen, especially Romero, Gordon and Myers, deserves much of the credit for putting the Phils where they are, which is right in the middle of the chase for the Wild Card.
The Phillies lost to the Washington Nationals yesterday afternoon, falling 5-3 to drop to 85-71 on the year. The Mets won yesterday, so they extend their lead in the NL East to 2 1/2 games. The Phillies remain a half game behind the Padres for the Wild Card. San Diego trails Arizona by 2 1/2 games in the West.
Cole Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went five innings, allowing a run on two hits. Both of the hits were singles. He walked two and struck out six. He left after throwing 76 pitches.
D'Angelo Jimenez started the first with a single and Ronnie Belliard followed with a walk. Ryan Zimmerman hit into a double-play and Jimenez went to third. Austin Kearns followed with a single to center and Jimenez scored to put Washington up 1-0. Tony Batista popped to Dobbs in foul territory for the third out.
Hamels threw a 1-2-3 second.
Jimenez walked with one out in the third. Hamels picked Jimenez off first as Jimenez broke for second, but Howard's throw to Rollins at second was high and Jimenez was safe. Hamels struck out Belliard and got Zimmerman on a line drive to first.
Hamels got two strikeouts in a 1-2-3 fourth and two more in a 1-2-3 fifth.
The Phils hit for Hamels in the top of the sixth and Alfonseca started the sixth with a 2-1 lead. Jimenez led off with a double down the line in right. The ball got away from Werth, who was charged with an error on the play, and Jimenez went to third. Alfonseca walked Belliard to put men on first and third before Zimmerman popped to short for the first out. Kearns singled up the middle and Jimenez scored to tie the game at 2-2, Belliard went to second. Batista walked to load the bases and Manuel finally pulled Alfonseca. Geary came in to pitch to the righty Flores and hit him to force in a run, putting the Nats ahead 3-2. Lefty Ryan Church hit for righty Justin Maxwell and hit a ball hard to second. Utley made a sliding play to his right, made a strong throw to Rollins at second and Rollins relayed to first to complete the inning-ending double-play. Great play by Utley at a big time in the game.
Kyle Lohse pitched a 1-2-3 seventh. For Lohse it was his first relief appearance of the season.
Kane Davis started the eighth with the Phils down 3-2. With one out, Zimmerman and Kearns singled back-to-back, putting men on first and second. Lefty Robert Fick hit for Batista and hit a hard ground ball back up the middle. Utley dove and the ball went off the tip of his glove for a single. Zimmerman scored to make it 4-2 and Kearns went to third. Brian Schneider was next and hit the ball well to right for the second out. Kearns tagged and scored easily. 5-2. Wily Mo Pena hit for pitcher Jon Rauch and singled, sending Fick to second. Condrey relieved Davis and got Logan on a ground ball to short for the third out.
Manuel finally has no choice but to go to the other guys in the pen and they can't get it done. I don't think there's a whole lot to complain about when it comes to how Manuel handled the pitching yesterday. He may have left Alfonseca in too long. If he was going to pitch Lohse anyway I don't know why he wouldn't have done it in the sixth. I don't think he took Hamels, who was pitching for just the second time in a month, out too early.
The Phillies' lineup against righty Joel Hanrahan went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Burrell (4) Howard (5) Rowand (6) Dobbs (7) Werth (8) Ruiz. Dobbs at third against the righty.
The Phillies went 1-2-3 in the first and second.
In the third, Hamels and Rollins singled back-to-back with two outs. It put men on first and second with two down for Utley, but Utley struck out to set the Phillies down.
With two outs in the fourth, Rowand walked and Dobbs moved him to second with a single. Werth struck out for the third out.
Hamels walked with one out in the fifth. Rollins popped to short for the second out before Utley walked. It put men on first and second for Burrell, who singled to left. Hamels scored to tie the game at 1-1 with the help of a weak throw from left from Maxwell. Howard walked to load the bases, but Rowand grounded to short for the third out.
Dobbs walked to start the sixth. Werth struck out, but Flores made a snap throw to first that went into right field, where it got away from Kearns. Dobbs went to third and Flores and Kearns were both charged with errors. Ruiz blooped a single to right and Dobbs scored to put the Phillies up 2-1. Laforest hit for Hamels and popped to Zimmerman in foul territory for the second out. Rollins grounded to second to set down the Phils.
With one out in the seventh, Burrell and Howard walked back-to-back. After Howard walked and put Burrell on second with the Phils down 3-2, Bourn ran for Burrell at second. Rowand flew to center for the second out. Iguchi hit for Geary and flew to center for the third out. The Phils took Burrell out of a game they were losing by a run in the seventh and it hurt them in the ninth, cause he's a better hitter than Michael Bourn.
Nunez singled with two outs in the eighth, but Rollins flew to right for the third out.
With the Phils down 5-2, Utley started the ninth with a ground-rule double. Burrell's spot was next but Burrell wasn't in it because Bourn ran for him in the seventh inning. Victorino hit for Bourn and struck out. Howard walked to put men on first and second. Rowand singled to left and Utley scored to make it 5-3 as Howard went to second. As the go-ahead run, Helms hit for Condrey and struck out. Werth struck out to end the game.
The Phillies had one extra-base hit in the game, Utley's ninth inning double.
Rollins was 1-for-5 yesterday and 6-for-20 with two doubles and a home run in the series. He's on-basing .319 in September. No walks in his last 32 at-bats. He's at 293/343/526 on the season.
Utley was 1-for-4 with a walk and a double. 7-for-18 in the series with a double, a triple and a home run. 335/414/571.
Burrell was 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. 3-for-14 with a home run in the series. 261/404/507.
Howard was 0-for-2 with three walks. 6-for-13 with a double and two home runs in the set. 264/388/563. With his strikeout in the fourth inning of yesterday's game, Howard tied the major league record for strikeouts in a season with 195.
Rowand was 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI. He left five men on base. 5-for-18 with a double in the series. 313/380/520.
Dobbs was 1-for-2 with a walk. 2-for-11 in the series. 277/334/463. Helms was 0-for-1 today with a strikeout in his only at-bat in the series. 249/300/372. Nunez was 1-for-1 today and 2-for-2 in the series. 240/322/289.
Werth was 0-for-5, struck out four times left five men on base and made an error. 2-for-14 with a big home run in the series. 303/410/455. He's 5-for-his-last-34. Victorino was 0-for-1 today and 2-for-6 with a double in the series. 283/350/424.
Ruiz was 1-for-4 yesterday and 2-for-10 in the series. 258/336/396. Coste was 0-for-8 in the series and is hitting 281/308/422. Coste is 5-for-his-last-33.
No game today. Braves tomorrow.

This small bouldering area has several nice schist boulders located below a small cliff. The cliff might be good for some beginer top roping 5.2-5.7 and offers some unique hueco features but requires some cleaning. At the base of the cliff is a large HB boulder we call the Tallon. Directly to its right is another set of problems with okay landings.
Getting There
Park at the end of Ballfield Rd, in Bethel, CT in the park parking lot. Follow the trail north for about 1000' ft or so until you cross a small stream on your left flowing down under the road. At then next little dip in the hillside (40ft down the road, continue up the small ridge to the top of the hill. Continue walking straight back towards the cliff line until you see boulders at the base of the scree field. At the top of the scree field are several problems as well.

Since Dwight is the reason I'm writing this I'll use him as an example.
Every time I read an article about Dwight it always has the same thing in it. "Dwight needs to be traded by the deadline or the Magic have the advantage by being able to offer him $25-30 mil more then everyone else and who could resist losing that much money". Well why yes they can offer him the best deal how much is Dwight really losing?
Teams who sign guys can only offer 4yr/$74mil while the team with the bird rights can offer 5yr/$102, meaning 18.5 per compared to 20.4 per. That works out to be about 1.9 million less per year. Where everyone loses sight of reality is where they think Dwight would lose about $28 million.
Should Orlando play hard ball with him and he is forced to sign with NJ he will be losing out on 7.6 mill over the first 4 years, not $30 mil. After Dwight's contract is up he'll be 30 and will be primed to sign another max deal. At this point the team that signs him will have his bird right and be able to sign Dwight to the 5yr/$102 mil deal. What does this all mean?
Well Dwight's 1st year of his new contract will be the same as his 5th year should he resign in Orlando meaning, he will be making the same amount that final year. Taking that into consideration Dwight will lose over the course of the next 5 years 7.6 mil. Is that enough to keep him, who knows, but what we do know is that when people say he's going to lose out on close to $30 mil if he doesn't re-up with Orlando should they not trade him are not comparing apples to apples. That is simply not true and I don't understand why very few people can understand this cause it's written in every article I read yet no one points this out.

Deputy: Body found in wreckage of ultralight plane

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Officials have discovered the body of the pilot of an ultralight plane that reportedly crashed days ago in southern Arizona.
Pima County sheriff's Deputy Tracy Suitt says the wreckage was found Sunday south of Tucson during a search by the sheriff's department and Tucson police that included air units. No one else was aboard the unregistered aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration says it doesn't certify ultralight aircraft or investigate accidents involving them.
The sheriff's department received a call from a witness around 9:30 p.m. Saturday saying he saw the plane go down "a couple of days ago" near Sahuarita and Wilmot roads. Suitt says the man didn't report the incident sooner because of his immigration status. That status wasn't known.
On Saturday, darkness suspended a search, which resumed Sunday.

Kouzmanoff to Rockies
Good for Mr. Kouzmanoff. He said all the right things when he was sent down, played about as well as he could have potentially played, and now might get another shot. I don't imagine that we will get anything of value in return for him at this point but I would be interested to see who we get back if it is not for cash considerations. Good for him. I hope he does well at the big league level against the Giants especially.

In the year 2014, as we recognize this as the centennial year of the Jamaican, Caribbean born Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey's (born Aug. 17, 1887, died June 10, 1940) founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League in 1914, Pan Africanists need to hold conferences to discuss the conditions of over 1,200,000,000 Africans and people of African descent.

In the 23 years since Nelson Mandela walked from his notorious Robben Island prison cell, leaving behind the rotting corpse of South Africa's system of racial and economic oppression known as apartheid, a new generation has grown into adulthood there, literally unaware of the cruel exploitation and indignities the tiny White minority population inflicted on the masses of that country's people.

By rejecting continental unity, Africa is depriving itself of wealth and autonomy, says Kwame Nkrumah's daughter.

A senior British politician has revealed Britain's involvement in the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the Congo's first prime minister. The leader of the Congolese independence struggle from Belgium was brutally murdered just seven months after taking office on the direct orders of the U.S. and Belgium. Britain, whose involvement had long been suspected, also had a hand in it.

"Former political prisoner Dhoruba Bin Wahad recently penned an excellent essay breaking down what's going on in Mali, Congo and the Middle East.

In true form, Dhoruba pulled no punches. Peep what he has to say."

Dodd-Frank and its proponents penalize the people of eastern Congo but do little to curtail the militias and their backers. Congress should confront the real causes of the conflict, which are failed leadership and corruption in Congo's capital, Kinshasa, and predatory policies of Rwanda and Uganda, which destabilize eastern Congo while benefiting from the mineral trade.

One hundred years ago, a global outrage surrounding the death of an estimated 10 million Congolese resulted in the end of King Leopold II of Belgium's rule in the Congo. Ordinary people around the world from all walks of life stood at the side of the Congolese and demanded the end of the first recorded Congolese holocaust. A century later, the world finds itself facing the same issue, where the Congolese people are subjected to unimaginable suffering.
August 30, 2009
One is hard pressed to find media accounts of what the Congolese people want or how they believe that the United States could best play a constructive role in ending the suffering in the Congo. Considering that the United States has played a significant historical role in the stifling of the democratic aspirations of the Congolese people and the backing of the 1996 and 1998 invasions of the Congo by its allies, Rwanda and Uganda, which unleashed what the United Nations say is the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II, it is important to hear directly from the Congolese people regarding U.S. engagement in the Congo.

(Amy Goodman, Democracy Now, 7/6/09) The poisonous racist attack on the first Black U.S. president was based on racist preconceptions and was carried out by interim Honduran Foreign Minister Enrique Ortez Colindres on June 29, the day after the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya was arrested and sent into exile in his pajamas.

The weather outside may be frightful on your next trip to Wild Adventures.
"Being in the tropical climate, we should all be prepared for the damages that lightning can pose, said Kent Beuscher, park owner.
With over fifty rides using millions of electrical amps, there's great potential for lightning to strike.
But not to worry, this park is fully equipped with weather radar to keep all its visitors safe.
"We've installed sophisticated grounding all over the park to hopefully prevent any damage we could have from lightning," said Beuscher.
The park has its own lightning detection system, made up of three stages. The first, Light 1, detects lightning within a ten mile radius.
"We begin to pull down our largest rides, mainly the high roller coasters and water rides if lightning is ten miles away or closer," said Beuscher.
The second stage, Light 2, detects lightning up to five miles away. And the final stage, Light 3, means danger is near.
"We shut all the rides down and make sure all our visitors seek shelter in a safe place," said Beuscher.
Another asset in detecting serious weather conditions is a device park officials call Thore.
"It measures electrical activity in the air and if it detects anything, it makes a loud beeping sound to let us know some attention is required," said Beuscher.
WIth well over a million dollars in weather technology, the park's visitors and equipment are always in safe hands.

Polito's Take: Distracted driving politics

Where do you do your best thinking?
In weather like this, I like to take a ride on my motorcycle. It's a 1990 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic. It's old, but it's a great ride. Maybe your thing is someplace like the beach. You're free from distractions and relaxing. I find my brain does its best work in those conditions.
Fortunately for me, I have another advantage. I also work in a newsroom that's packed with very smart, focused and creative people. Being in that environment stimulates the intellect. The combined news experience and reporting instincts of these individuals are phenomenal. They also take their responsibilities very seriously. They do not run from one story to the next. They follow stories, they advance stories, and their reporting also makes news.
For example, we've been on the state's welfare fraud scandal for a very long time. We have put difficult questions to the people in charge. Long after other news organizations have moved on, we're still digging in. That's our job, accountability. We're accountable to you and we make elected officials accountable. We're not going to drop the welfare fraud story even as other news demands our attention and resources.
Gov. Deval Patrick is just like any other politician. They all exploit our short attention spans. When something happens that makes them look bad, they hunker down and try to ride out the storm. They know another story will soon eclipse theirs and the public's focus will turn to something else. Let me give you an example. I began this commentary talking about where I do my best thinking. Do you remember? Don't look up.
Good job if you remembered. If you didn't, don't worry, we'll keep on top of things for you.

Solar panel installation
I'm doing a solar panel installation on my new house and I think it would make a good idea for The Verge to document it. Any idea of how to get a hold of them?
I really enjoy reading and watching about all the interesting places the verge team has taken me since it launched and I think this is something many readers would enjoy knowing about and seeing in action.
I live in Brooklyn NY and the new house is 90 miles away in Pennsylvania (2 hour drive from Brooklyn). I'm having a contractor put up 33 panels, each with a micro inverter.
I have no video or writing skills myself so I can't do an amazing forum post like some have done but I want to give the staff the opportunity to write about the project and document it on video from start to finish. I would give full access to the property and anything else they might need.
What do you all think?

AUSTIN, Minn. (KTTC) -- It's July, and most students are still on summer vacation.
But kids at Sumner Elementary School in Austin are packing up their school bags, getting pens and paper ready, and preparing to head back to class.
Parents and students arrived at Sumner's open house with questions for teachers and faculty. Class starts Tuesday.
Thursday's annual Back-To-School event provides students an opportunity to acclimate to their classroom, curriculum and classmates before the school year begins.
For Nicole Riemann, a mother to incoming first-grader Connor, the day offers some relief for parents as well.
"He was really nervous about going to a new school. He started getting kind of anxious and this actually helps me, getting to meet the teacher, knowing who she is because I've never met any of the teachers any other time," Riemann told KTTC Thursday.
Sumner students won't be the only ones to begin class Tuesday. 45/15 students at the Austin school district's Woodsen Kindergarten Center will also be headed back to the classroom.

Dear Friends,
I wish I could get more regular to tell you about the magical life I live in pursuit of our ideal hospital and promoting a global value system based on compassion and generosity. I think it's been more than 1/2 year since we spoke. I'm still traveling like crazy—lecturing and performing, although the economic downturn has diminished invitations. You could help us by setting up something in your city, university or company. In our now traditional 10 weeks together in the winter, Susan and I have continued our tango lessons and are hot. In March I spent almost a week at a wonderful experimental, progressive activist community in Portugal called Tamera, check it out. Our two college spring break trips with 20 students each went this year to Nicaragua and Guatemala. I went to Guatemala and fell in love with the people while all of us were under the wing of Maria Olga who had dreamed of us coming to her country while she was a student at Gesundheit! in West Virginia last summer. Around all my efforts, I am grounded in the lust to get our hospital built. Daily I feel the global hunger for our model. Through my precious friend from Russia, Sonya, I met Michael Viner of Phoenix Books and in the winter they will publish my third book, which I like to call Why the Hospital. I gave them several thousand letters of two varieties: (a) the poor, heartbroken citizens that cannot get care—reaching out to us, and (b) health care professionals from around the world crying out for a compassionate, loving health care system—looking to us to help point to ways. It is partly for all of you that still after 29 years I remain enthusiastic and zealous to get our model built.
To give an idea of the crazy schedule I live—in May I went to Colombia for several days; did Code Pink's annual White House Mothers Day Peace action; went to Guilford College to be at my son Lars's college graduation (what a thrill!); went twice to Brazil covering 5 cities and hungry audiences (see following story); 9-day and 3-city tour of Japan; a trip to Canada and to Palm Springs. I have to say that it invigorates me and I get to read a lot of books.
On the second trip to Brazil, in May, I was lecturing to a full house. In the Q & A time, on the stage, a doctor in his 40s told the story of his nine-year-old son with a tumor in his head. He had short rude encounters with his doctors—especially the big specialist he went to see in São Paulo whose whole encounter took only a few moments and in that short exchange at this most painful moment in a parent's life—showed no compassion and interrupted the consultation 5 times to answer his cell phone. And this to another physician. In his shyness, he came up to ask if I would go that night to see his son, who was operated on that day. Even though I'd gotten up at 5am, flown to his city and worked a lot, at 10:30pm we went to his hospital room where Mom and younger brother were for hilarious hour. I think I live to clown. I've been disgusting the world with the "Triple Threat" wherever I go, which is: (1) a dental cheek spreader (2) Billy Bob teeth, and (3) a long stringy snot ...
In early June, Code Pink (please check their web site—www.codepinkalert.org—these are wild women insisting on peace and justice through direct action) invited me to go to the Israeli/Gaza check point in Southern Israel for an action trying to get into Gaza where, since January, the Israeli military has murdered so many and destroyed so much infrastructure. We were hoping to take essential aid (currently denied the Palestinians) and love to this nightmarish situation. It is embarrassing and shameful the support our (US) government gives to this slaughter—where they could be insisting on peace and justice: 2 states and no settlements. My role was to try to melt the hardness of soldiers and help boost spirits during our group's failed entry. I so admire the efforts of Code Pink. The organization was so well done. I had many highlights—at one point, after much silly persistence I got one undercover security person into my large ladies underwear and find out he is a former army General. At the one level, I found love and fun softens the tension and I felt if we were not at the checkpoint we could have a beer together and work it out. Please, world, stop revenge and hating and decide to be loving.
I came home from Israel and found an invitation from a Republican congressman for Susan and me to come to their weekly theme breakfast hour to discuss health care reform. I was shocked and asked them if they had the right person. The two previous speakers for their hour had been Dick Cheney and Karl Rove (who I keep thinking should be imprisoned, along with Bush and Rumsfeld, for war crimes so that our country could maybe have the world's respect again). The event was packed with Republican members of Congress and interns and we felt very well listened to as we spoke of health care as a human right and the inexcusability that we don't care for all people, equally. We suggested that we must immediately have single payer (see Congressman Conyer's HR 676 bill), and let the costly expenses of the effort to pay for our vulgar greedy uncaring system be an invitation to spark real reform (since all the media and spokespeople of any party do not address health care or reform, only the paying for this horrible system). We saw their heads nod as we mentioned many things never addressed in discussions on health care reform like: (1) burnout, (2) enough time with patients, (3) hierarchy of money and power-over in medical settings, (4) malpractice, (5) wellness, (6) palliative care, (7) social, educational, environmental health problems, (8) hegemony of pharmaceutical companies (9) cost of medical education, (10) complimentary care. We then offered Republicans solutions like: (1) stimulating re-creation of old community hospital ideas with 21st-century form—and use them to help re-create community; (2) asking for 1000 models for them to fund that would create local facilities but not consider them unless they cut 50% of the cost; (3) scattered comprehensive wellness centers; (4) Cuban-style medical schools where schooling is free for students who will go out and serve underserved communities (we like that these could be placed in big cities connected to the large dumping ground hospitals of that city).
I don't know where this will go, but the feedback was very good—they stayed longer than normal and paid rapt attention. Anything is possible.
I went again to Camp Winnarainbow with Lars for our 15th year. This is 2 weeks of heaven with 7–14-year-olds for circus arts in an ethic of peace and justice. I love being a naughty boy there. I charged my batteries with a million hugs. We filmed to make a movie to put on our website to help find kids for the camp. Please spread the word.
And finally, I am flying home from Albuquerque with a big smile after a day's meeting with the beloved Carl Hammerschlag MD and our angel Jacqueline Babbitt. This comes after a 10-year search for a location for a special low-cost, high-yield fundraiser that Carl and I laughed ourselves silly over when we conceived it 10 years ago: a Full Moon Festival. The idea is to have 200,000 people paying $100 each to all moon at the same time, raising $20 million, split between the Gesundheit! project and the city. The poster for the event would of course will also help raise lots. The idea is a 3-day event, with the first two days being coordinating the 200,000 volunteer mooners to lend a hand with local projects, and on the third day, mooning. Well, we met with the mayor and it's a go. Look in October for details of a spring mooning. Come let's moon together.
I live perpetually hopeful that we will build. There is an increase in interest and every day richnesses dance around us. I am healthy and wishing you all my love and thanks for your continued support. You are the breath for our longevity.
And, Flash!! After 6 years as a perfect assistant, my brother Wildman, his wife Elisa and daughter Annamaria will move to our West Virginia site and become land managers. Land Mama Maggie had done a wonderful job these last few years and has moved on. Good luck, Maggie. So, come help Wildman and Elisa care for and birth this exhilarating project.
Think, make a revolution in loving,
