Eric Hobsbawm is considered one of the greatest living historians. He is President of Birkbeck College (
Marcello Musto is editor of Karl Marx's Grundrisse: Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy,
1) M. M. Professor Hobsbawm, two decades after 1989, when he was too hastily consigned to oblivion, Karl Marx has returned to the limelight. Freed from the role of instrumentum regni to which he was assigned in the
In a recent public conversation with Jacques Attalì, you said that paradoxically "it is the capitalists more than others who have been rediscovering Marx", and you talked of your astonishment when the businessman and liberal politician George Soros said to you "I've just been reading Marx and there is an awful lot in what he says". Although weak and rather vague, what are the reasons for this revival? Is his work likely to be of interest only to specialists and intellectuals, being presented in university courses as a great classic of modern thought that should never be forgotten? Or could a new "demand for Marx" come in the future from the political side as well?
E. H. There is an undoubted revival of public interest in Marx in the capitalist world, though probably not as yet in the new East European members of the European Union. It was probably accelerated by the fact that the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Manifesto of the Communist Party coincided with a particularly dramatic international economic crisis in the midst of a period of ultra-rapid free market globalization.
Marx had predicted the nature of the early 21st century world economy a hundred and fifty years earlier, on the basis of his analysis of "bourgeois society". It is not surprising that intelligent capitalists, especially in the globalized financial sector, were impressed by Marx, since they were necessarily more aware than others of the nature and instabilities of the capitalist economy in which they operated. Most of the intellectual Left no longer knew what to do with Marx. It had been demoralised by the collapse of the social-democratic project in most
Of course this does not mean that Marx will cease to be regarded as a great and classical thinker, although for political reasons, especially in countries like
2) M. M. Throughout his life Marx was a shrewd and tireless researcher, who sensed and analysed better than anyone else in his time the development of capitalism on a world scale. He understood that the birth of a globalized international economy was inherent in the capitalist mode of production and predicted that this process would generate not only the growth and prosperity flaunted by liberal theorists and politicians but also violent conflicts, economic crises and widespread social injustice. In the last decade we have seen the East Asian Financial Crisis, which started in the summer of 1997, the Argentinian economic crisis of 1999-2002 and, above all, the subprime mortgage crisis, which started in the
E. H. Whether the future politics of the Left will once again be inspired by Marx's analysis, as the old socialist and communist movements were, will depend on what happens to world capitalism. But this applies not only to Marx but to the Left as a coherent political ideology and project. Since, as you say correctly, the return of interest in Marx is largely – I would say mainly – based on the current crisis of capitalist society, the outlook is more promising than it was in the 1990s. The present world financial crisis, which may well become a major economic depression in the
It is clear that any "return to Marx" will be essentially a return to Marx's analysis of capitalism and its place in the historical evolution of humanity – including, above all, his analysis of the central instability of capitalist development, which proceeds through self-generated periodic economic crises, with political and social dimensions. No Marxist could believe for a moment that, as neo-liberal ideologists argued in 1989, liberal capitalism had established itself forever, that history had come to an end, or indeed that any system of human relations could ever be final and definitive.
3) M. M. Do you not think that if the political and intellectual forces of the international left, who are questioning themselves with regard to socialism in the new century, were to foreswear the ideas of Marx, they would lose a fundamental guide for the examination and transformation of today's reality?
E. H.: No socialist can foreswear the ideas of Marx, since his belief that capitalism must be succeeded by another form of society is based not on hope or will but on a serious analysis of historical development, particularly in the capitalist era. His actual prediction that capitalism would be replaced by a socially managed or planned system still seems reasonable, though he certainly underestimated the market elements which would survive in any post-capitalist system(s). Since he deliberately abstained from speculation about the future, he cannot be made responsible for the specific ways in which "socialist" economies were organised under "really existing socialism". As to the objectives of socialism, Marx was not the only thinker who wanted a society without exploitation and alienation, in which all human beings could fully realise their potentialities, but he expressed this aspiration more powerfully than anyone else, and his words retain the power to inspire.
However, Marx will not return as a political inspiration to the Left until it is understood that his writings should not be treated as political programmes, authoritative or otherwise, nor as descriptions of the actual situation of world capitalism today, but rather as guides to his way of understanding the nature of capitalist development. Nor can or should we forget that he did not achieve a coherent and fully thought out presentation of his ideas, in spite of attempts by Engels and others to construct a volume II and III of Capital out of Marx's manuscripts. As the Grundrisse show, even a completed Capital would have formed only part of Marx's own, perhaps excessively ambitious, original plan.
On the other hand, Marx will not return to the Left until the current tendency among radical activists to turn anti-capitalism into anti-globalism is abandoned. Globalisation exists, and, short of a collapse of human society, is irreversible. Indeed, Marx recognised it as a fact and, as an internationalist, welcomed it, in principle. What he criticised, and what we must criticize, was the kind of globalisation produced by capitalism.
4) M. M. One of Marx's writings which has provoked the greatest interest amongst new readers and commentators is the Grundrisse. Written between 1857 and 1858, the Grundrisse is the first draft of Marx's critique of political economy and, thus, also the initial preparatory work on Capital; it contains numerous reflections on matters that Marx did not develop elsewhere in his incomplete oeuvre. Why, in your opinion, are these manuscripts one of Marx's writings which continue to provoke more debate than any other, in spite of the fact that he wrote them only to summarise the foundations of his critique of political economy? What is the reason for their persistent appeal?
E. H. In my view the Grundrisse have made so large an international impact on the Marxian intellectual scene for two connected reasons. They were virtually unpublished before the 1950s, and, as you say, contained a mass of reflections on matters that Marx did not develop elsewhere. They were not part of the largely dogmatised corpus of orthodox Marxism in the world of Soviet socialism, yet Soviet socialism could not simply dismiss them. They could therefore be used by Marxists who wanted to criticise orthodoxy or widen the scope of Marxist analysis by an appeal to a text which could not be accused of being heretical or anti-Marxist. Hence the editions of the 1970s and 1980s (well before the fall of the Berlin Wall) continued to provoke debate largely because in these manuscripts Marx raised important problems which were not considered in
Capital, for instance, the questions raised in my preface to the volume of essays you collected [Karl Marx's Grundrisse. Foundations of the Critique of Political Economy 150 Years Later, edited by M. Musto,
5) M. M. In the preface to this book, written by various international experts to mark the 150th anniversary of its composition, you have written: "Perhaps this is the right moment to return to a study of the Grundrisse less constricted by the temporary considerations of leftwing politics between Nikita Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin and the fall of Mikhail Gorbachev". Moreover, to underline the enormous value of this text, you stated that the Grundrisse "contains analyses and insights, for instance about technology, that take Marx's treatment of capitalism far beyond the nineteenth century, into the era of a society where production no longer requires mass labour, of automation, the potential of leisure, and the transformations of alienation in such circumstances. It is the only text that goes some way beyond Marx's own hints of the communist future in the German Ideology. In a few words, it has been rightly described as Marx's thought at its richest." Therefore, what might be the result of re-reading the Grundrisse today?
E. H. There are probably not more than a handful of editors and translators who have full knowledge of this large and notoriously difficult mass of texts. But a re-rereading, or rather reading, of them today could help us to rethink Marx: to distinguish what is general in Marx's analysis of capitalism from what was specific to the situation of mid-nineteenth-century "bourgeois society". We cannot predict what conclusions from this analysis are possible and likely, only that they will certainly not command unanimous agreement.
6) M. M. To finish, one final question. Why is it important today to read Marx?
E. H. To anyone interested in ideas, whether a university student or not, it is patently clear that Marx is and will remain one of the great philosophical minds and economic analysts of the nineteenth century, and, at his best, a master of passionate prose. It is also important to read Marx because the world in which we live today cannot be understood without the influence that the writings of this man had on the twentieth century. And finally, he should be read because, as he himself wrote, the world cannot be effectively changed unless it is understood – and Marx remains a superb guide to understanding the world and the problems we must confront.

In 2009, Katarina Cook won election to the Akron Municipal Court, filling a vacated judgeship. Now she is seeking a full, six-year term on the bench. She has adapted well to the position, applying her experience, running an efficient courtroom while remaining sensitive to the particular role of the court in having an opportunity to reach defendants and alter the track of their lives.
We recommend the re-election of Katarina Cook on Nov. 5.
Before stepping into the position of judge, Cook served as a magistrate in the municipal court, handling the busy traffic division. She also worked as an assistant prosecutor in Stark County, focused on child abuse cases. Add time, too, in private practice, mostly in civil and probate matters.
As a judge, Cook has proved organized and attentive. She can be tough, even stern at times. That doesn't mean she has lost sight of the way the court can intervene effectively. She recognizes the value in specialty courts, presiding for the past 15 months in the court covering those picked up for drunken driving. She increasingly sees the importance of alternative sentencing, in easing jail overcrowding and in serving a leading purpose of the court.
Cook has earned a full term.
Her opponent is Jon Oldham, who recently moved into a position as a magistrate and judicial attorney in the Summit County Probate Court. He spent a year as a visiting magistrate in the municipal court, presiding in disputes over small claims and between landlords and tenants, among other things. He has spent a decade in private practice, mostly involving business and other litigation, from insurance coverage to probate matters.
Oldham is a quick study. He has a stronger interest in alternative sentencing, or what he describes as a "therapeutic jurisprudence." He performed well as a magistrate in the municipal court and has the makings of a good judge. For now, he would benefit from added experience, becoming a better candidate down the road.
The municipal court covers the cities of Akron and Fairlawn, the townships of Bath, Richfield and Springfield, plus the villages of Lakemore and Richfield, and part of Mogadore.

Heidi Klum, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hillary Swank, Naomi Campbell. Oscar winners and supermodels have long flocked to wellness expert and nutrition guru Dr. Oz Garcia to help them look gorgeous. And now you can, too, since hes officially signed on as nutrition consultant for the South Beachs James Royal Palm Hotel, where hell be offering one-on-one consultations and wellness weekends through this winter. Not only are some of his signature vitamin-enhanced products available at the hotels spa, Dr. Garcia also helped create healthy dining options at its restaurant, Florida Cookery. In fact, he says a healthy diet is key to helping create that star-like timeless look, pointing to certain ingredients that are particularly powerful.
Here, Dr. Garcia shares five specific food groups that, when combined with other good habits (like lowering stress, exercising and getting enough sleep), can help turn back the hands of time. If you eat these foods, you are going to look better, he explained, because theyre not only loaded with antioxidants (molecules that help neutralize the effects of damaging free radicals in your body), they also help fight glycation, a physiological process by which certain sugar molecules in your body glom onto certain fats and proteins, particularly the ones responsible for making skin look youthful and plump, weakening and discoloring them. (And who wants that?) Follow his advice for just two months, Dr. Garcia said, and the difference will be remarkable. It doesnt take that long for a change like this to make a huge difference.
SEAFOOD Just about anything that comes from the oceansalmon, bass, snapper, mahi mahiis rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which are what Dr. Garcia calls nutritional gold. Theyre good for the skin, hair and heart, and for preventing disease and improving the immune system. The longest living people on earth are Japanese women. They have a lifespan of 84 to 85 years. They have low rates of heart disease and osteoporosis. And they look terrific! What they eat a lot of is seafood, said Dr. Garcia, who suggests eating seafood four to five times a week. Fatty acids are remarkable for building you up internally, and for keeping veins and capillaries healthy, which are components that build healthy-looking skin.
WHOLE GRAINS When you want to build collagen and slow down wrinkling, Dr. Garcia said, it all starts with whole grains. Filled with nutrients, minerals and loaded with fiber, whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, barley and millet are great replacements for enriched white rice or flour products that can cause inflammation in the gut, Dr. Garcia said. He adds: When you eat natural fiber, it helps to maintain your overall better health. And good health is reflected in your skin and quality of hair.
BERRIES Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and cherriestheyre all like tiny packages of super-antioxidants, says Dr. Garcia. Oxidants are molecules that make you rust organically. Its like if you leave your bicycle outdoors and you let the elements play on it, he said. Eventually the metal rusts. That rusting process occurs in us, and what you want to do is slow it down. It causes premature wrinkling and accelerates aging. Antioxidant-rich berries fight that, making the skin look better as well as improving your overall immunity. He suggests incorporating one serving of berries every day.
BEANS AND LEGUMES The humble beanred, pinto, black, you name itis another antioxidant powerhouse. Dr. Garcia points out that just about all beans are rich in flavonoids, which are one of the biggest classes of antioxidants and therefore key to helping the body repair itself, and very good for repairing tissue. One more piece of advice: When preparing beans, start with the dried kind as opposed to the canned. Avoiding processed foods, Garcia said, is also important.
OLIVE OIL (AND NUTS) Olive oil is one of the best foods on earth for all the nutrients found in it, Dr. Garcia said. Its good for your heart and great for your skin. Use it instead of other less healthy oils (like corn or others that are partially hydrogenated) for stir-frying, or drizzling onto salads, veggies or even bread in place of butter. It reduces a lot of oxidative damage as well as inflammation in the body, helping with joint problems. Andrea Billups

A Memorial
Recently I found out that one of my instructors from Nursing school, Jason Kurtz, RN, BSN, CMSRN, had passed away, losing his fight with cancer. It really shook me up as he was one of the biggest influences in my nursing life. He set an example that I still try to live up to.
He was my CNA instructor who pushed his students to be the very best. He held us to standards and expected us to adhere to those. He was a guy who wasn't afraid to ruffle feathers. On the day before clinicals he said, "And whatever you do, shower. I say it because people haven't and came in smelling worse than the patients." He used so much of his personal experience to color our thinking about the care we provided. Having been both a patient and a nurse he reminded us that these were real people we were going to be taking care of, with all the complex issues real people have. Even though he could be hard, he had a forgiving side, even when I mistakenly called it, "perennial care" versus "perineal care." He just joked, "So you only do it once a year? Glad I'm not your patient!"
Later, he was my boss. He hired me as an extern on his unit. I saw him in good times, when the cancer was in remission, and in bad as he was preparing for a bone marrow transplant. I saw his "O" face after another nurse had given him some demerol to finally knock down the pain he was experiencing. Not something of your boss's that you want to see. And as uncomfortable as it was, I even had to bladder scan him, which he took in a completely professional way.
After school ended, he had offered me a permanent job on his unit. I knew that he wanted me to be there. It felt like he felt we were kindred spirits, or that he was trying to mold me in his image. On my last day as an extern we had conversation where we talked about my future. I told him I was considering moving back to the Northwest. To which he told me that he would love to have me on his unit, but understood my need to head home. It was a professional send-off, which I greatly appreciated.
His was an example that I strove to achieve. I tired my hardest as an extern both for myself and because he inspired me to do better. He knew that I would be a great nurse, told me as much, but expected that I live up to that expectation. On that last say, he told me that,"You've lived up to the expectation of you. I never regretted picking you."
Here was a guy who was fighting cancer, running a busy tele unit, living his life, who always told the nurses that if any of their patients received a new diagnosis of cancer, he was more than willing to talk with the patient, even if it was a day off. He gave himself to the unit, the hospital and community. He received Nurse of the Year Leadership award at Flagstaff Medical Center and nominated for a March of Dimes Nursing Leadership award.
He was a hero to me. I know that his guidance, all the way from those first awkward moments of clinicals to graduation day helped forge me into the nurse I am. He will be missed.
Favorite Recent Admission Diagnosis
Chest Pain, Enlarged Left Testicle
Enlarged? Yes, it was bigger than my fist. Painful? I do believe so, although he didn't really seem to complain much about it. Did he have to sit down to pee? Do you really want to know that answer? The poor bastard…
May you all have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!
Me? I'm going to work.
Peace and love…
Conference Notes and a Meme
Instead of going to work last Thursday and Friday, I got the chance to sit, learn, schmooze, soak up free stuff, eat bad hotel food, reconnect with an old friend, drool over HDTVs and not work. Sure, my boss didn't pay me to attend the conference but rather paid my way for it – which is almost as good. It was incredibly fascinating. Over my head, but fascinating. The conference was geared towards ICU nurses, but I was able to get a lot out of some of the presentations. Some went completely over my head and had no impact or bearing on my practice.
The highlights:
A presentation about CA-MRSA.
Considering the latest hoopla in the news, this was a welcome bit of science. The speaker differentiated between Community Acquired and Hospital Acquired MRSA, most notably the "Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL)" toxin found predominantly in CA-MRSA. This is a nasty, nasty toxin. He showed slides showing normal rat lungs, rat lungs without PVL and lungs with. While the lungs of non-PVL MRSA were injured, the necrotizing effect of the PVL literally turned the lungs to mush. Not a pretty picture. He also showed histological samples of white blood cells attacked by the bug literally leaking fluid contents out through punctured plasma membranes.The speaker also presented statistics showing the uptick in cases of CA-MRSA and increasing mortality rates especially in MRSA pneumonia. One especially sinister aspect to the PVL+ CA-MRSA is the speed it can progress. One of the case studies presented showed a rapid consolidation in the lungs leading to death approximately 36 hours after presentation due to respiratory failure and septic shock. He also noted in the research notes that approximately 50% of skin infections in the community are due to CA-MRSA.
Another presentation was about unhealthy work environments. While there was a lot of "kum-by-ya" touchy-feely stuff, there were a couple of great take aways. First, was the concept that on a unit, "no one sits until we all sit." Meaning that everybody pitches in to help and make usre that no one is left behind, struggling or just plain lost. As nurses we've all had those nights where 2 or 3 of our co-workers (or aides…) are sitting surfing the web while you're running around like a maniac trying valiantly to at least keep your head above water. Second was a quote about ratios where basically, "if you have time to sit at the bedside and look you patient in the eye and truly learn their needs your ratio is ok." One of my biggest issues with my unit has been ratios. I think we're staffed too short for the acuity of our patients. But when I take that idea into mind, it seems like it might be OK. At least lately.
There were others like a presentation on hypothermia post-cardiac arrest, acute renal failure in ICU settings, spectacular trauma cases (which was waaaay cool!), some stuff on nutrition and one on clots and clot busters. It was a great experience. Perhaps the highlight though was in talking to the Stryker rep, found out that my unit is getting new beds. Very, very, very nice new beds. Evidently our manager had gone to bat for us (as a unit) that we needed beds of a higher caliber than what we had been using. Sound like she really went out of her way and fought hard to get this. These beds are amazing. All have bed alarms, bed weights, will turn your patient for you, convert to a chair and allow one tiny nurse to push a 550lb. patient to Xray. These beds are going to save our backs and make life a little bit easier.
The other take away from the conference was how it made me feel. It made me want to step up my game as a nurse and take a greater interest and active role in the way my unit is run. Maybe instead of bitching about all the things that are going poorly, maybe actually work to try to change those things and make it a better place to work. I came away with a renewed sense of excitement and hope. Of course that will last all of about five minutes when I walk in the door nest night I work and see nothing but geri-chairs and tent beds all down the hallway…

Inappropriate ICU Transfer of the Week
When folks need to go to the Unit, whether it is an evolving MI, (non)lethal arrhythmia, hemodynamic instability or they just need that higher level of care, we can't wait to get them off the floor. Last thing anyone on our floor wants is a truly unstable patient lingering in one of our rooms when they needed to be the Unit 20 minutes ago. Sometimes though, you just can't seem to convince the docs that they need to go and in the same vein, those that really don't need to go, get sent.
We had a couple of instances of that lately. First, we called a Code on a guy who vagaled on the toilet. He was down to the Unit in less than 15 minutes, albeit already awake and laughing with the transport nurses as he went. At the decision time though, he needed to go. Now.
On the other hand is the patient who is stable but the docs are convinced they require the advanced monitoring care of the ICU. This happened just the other night.
Let me remind you, we're a cardiac unit. We deal with post-PCI patients, pacers, rule out MI's, pre/post-op open hearts, CHFers, arrhythmias (like atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response) among other things – like being the largest unit in the hospital and getting overflow patients. When it comes to all things cardiac, we're the place to be. Guess that's why the sign over the entrance to our unit says "Cardiology/Cardiac Surgery".
Anyway. My colleague's patient was post-chole or some other laproscopic surgery. Nothing too hot and heavy. She goes in to asses her patient (who's not on tele) and notices her heart rate is rapid and irregular. Being the good cardiac nurse she is, she grabs a12-lead EKG and voila' – a-fib with RVR. She calls the surgical resident on call who orders some metoprolol to slow down the rate and eventually a diltiazem drip. No biggie to us. We do this all the time. Heck, with our fresh hearts we have an A-Fib protocol where we don't even have to call the surgeon if the patient goes into fib, as long as they're hemodynamically stable. We just follow the protocol.
In this case, after the drip was started, blood pressures were 110's over 70's, rate in the 80-90's, good perfusion (warm, pink and intact), making urine, not even short of breath. Totally manageable on our floor. But the surgical resident still wants to transfer. My colleague tries to suggest that it isn't needed. She did everything but come out and say, "Y'know what? She's stable. Her rate's good. She doesn't need to go." Not that it would have done any good. So off she goes at 0630 down to the Unit. Her rate on arrival to the unit was 70's and it looked like her heart was already trying to convert back into normal sinus.
I looked at the ICU nurse and said, "Ten bucks says she's back up by the end of the day."
To which she replied, "End of the day? She'll be back up by noon!"
"Right," I retort, "if they haven't given her room away…"
It's a Murphy's Law kind of thing: they go when they don't need to and stay when they do.
And for all you soda drinkers out there, here's a little bit of science to enliven your day: "What happens to your body if you drink a Coke right now?" Now, off to the fridge, I'm kind of thirsty…
Ahh…oops, brain fart.
I knew I was missing a link when I posted about helmets.. Now I found it. You should see these pics and crazy story. Now I remember why I wear a helmet. Oh yeah, check the coverage on BikePortland.org about the recent spate of bicycle crashes here in PDX, it's a bit sobering.
Continuing the digression, I wonder what the true cause for the crashes in PDX is. Nothing against the folks who have been killed, in fact it's a damn shame, but I wonder if us cyclists are getting a little full of ourselves. Yes, we've made PDX a great cycling community. I see tons of bikes even out in the 'burbs where I live, but sheer numbers do nothing to protect us. We're still just meat on a flimsy steel frame waiting to get smeared into road kill by the next idiot distracted by their oh-so-important cell phone conversation as the wonder what that "bump" was while they were turning into Starbucks. Aggressive cycling, by that I mean exerting your space on the pavement, which by law is ours, has it's downsides as it opens us up to the full assault of the motorized public.
Be safe out there, picking gravel out of road rash is not a good way to spend the last sunny day of the year out here…
Men in Nursing
Nurse Sean put up an emotional post related to men in nursing. It's a sobering look from the other side. Go give him some support, sounds like he needs a"pick-me-up."
Read: Men in Nursing
I've always felt I've been lucky in this regard. There were 10 guys (out of 30 people) in my nursing class. My floor has 6 guys on the night shift alone, with more on the day shift. We're treated like equals on the floor, treated like professionals and trusted with our patients. Sure, I think I push myself to learn more than your average nurse, but that's just me. I'm a big nerd. My wife describes me as a black hole of "trivial trivia" and never plays Trivial Pursuit or Scene It! with me, unless we're on the same team. But I digress. I know that there is underlying resentment from some female colleagues about men in nursing, like somehow we're invading "their" territory". I know there is a societal aspect to this as well. Men in nursing are either: gay, criminal, sexual predator, or a freak, according to society. I'm none of the above. My colleagues at work are none of the above. Society likes to call me a "murse". When my friends call me a "murse" I crack a bad joke about their momma'.
We're professionals. We strive to be the best we can be, in spite of societal and deeply held cultural biases against us. But I think there is hope. It's becoming more common to see nurses who happen to be male. People are starting to get used to the idea, at least here in the States and accepting us as nurses. Change takes time. Hopefully Sean is willing to give it the time.
WTF?! It's only November.
That's what I said as I cruised down auto row this evening on the way home with teriyaki take away. The big dealership already had Christmas decorations up. Yes. Gaudy tinsel scenes hanging from the multitude of light poles, lit up like the Vegas strip. C'mon folks, it's only the 5th of November. Aren't we supposed to wait until at least Thanksgiving? That and I saw Christmas commercials this week. When will the madness stop? Then my wife tells me they've had decorations up at the malls since before Halloween! It just ain't right.
I've seen a lot of helmet related posts out there lately, but this one here takes the cake. 'Tis why I wear a helmet in the first place.
A Revisit to Room #66
As I related in a previous post (here), room #66 and I have a storied history. Some of it good, some of it bad. I finally figured out the mojo that was haunting me: it was the particular charge nurse. Each and every time I have had an issue in room 66 it was one particular charge nurse. Didn't have a problem with that room when other charge nurses were on. It was her. Not that she is a bad person, or even a bad charge nurse, there is just some weird mojo about it. Superstitious? You better believe it. And I'm not the only one. Nurse Sean has shared his superstitions. Do I have some? Yes. But that's not the point.
How did I figure all of this out? Stick around, you'll see.
A couple of months ago, my assignment included room 66. Housed there was one of our frequent flyers. Atypical chest pain, responded only to morphine. Chronic shortness of breath. On top of all of that he was a smoker. Loved to leave the floor to smoke. For two nights I had him with another charge nurse. Yeah, there were a couple of hairy moments. But nothing a little morphine and a neb treatment couldn't fix. But then the charge nurse rotation happened and you know who was in charge.
At first, the night went like normal. Nightly nursing things done. Meds were passed. Mr. Chest Pain was doing just fine. He had even gone down to smoke twice and never had a problem. I had everyone except him tucked in. I had even charted my first set of nightly charting before midnight – which never happens. The call light rings for room 66. The aide comes up to me and says, "He can't breathe and is complaining of chest pain." Down the hall I go. I peek in. He's tachypneic, distressed but not too bad. I head down to the med room, call RT on the way and grab a touch of morphine to both calm him down and help him breathe until the neb got there.
By the time I got back to to the room however, things had changed. He was bolt upright in bed, using every muscle in his torso to breathe. I swear he was rocking his hips to help him breathe. For a second I sat there, transfixed by what was happening before my eyes. Then I grabbed the phone, "Rapid response to room 66, rapid response to room 66!"
I began hooking him up, grabbing a set of vitals when help began streaming into the room. The doc took charge as I gave him a run down of the situation. Shot a CXR, took a 12 lead, and he got a double strength neb. After a bit of time, he began breathing better, calming down a bit. Of course first thing out of the RT's mouth was, "When was the last time he went to smoke?" Lucky for me he hadn't been down since 8pm (and it was 2am). Soon he was breathing better. No longer straining, no longer using every muscle to breathe.
As the crew left, we sat and talked. He had a bit of a wide-eyed look to him. As we talked re told me how scared he had been, especially when all the people began flooding into the room. Of course I couldn't share how scared I had been. He told me the thought in his mind was, "Please don't tube me!" He told me he had been tubed before and it had been the worst experience of his life. Then he said, "I think I may go for a smoke…" To which I said, "Y'know, I really don't think that's a good idea right now, do you?" Grudgingly he agreed, then settled in and went to bed.
When I walked out my charge nurse met me in the hallway. She said, "They never said which room, but I knew. I knew it had to be 66." "Yep, " I replied "it's my room, but I really think it's you. Things seem to go well when you're not charge and I have it, but when you're charge…"
Since then she's tried not to give me 66 when she's charge. At least I learned a lot since then though. I looked back at the situation and know what I should have done differently and if presented with a similar situation, would probably do better and probably wouldn't have called an RRT. Oh yeah, and Mr. Chest Pain? Yeah, he went down to smoke no less than 3 hours after the commotion. I guess some people never seem to get the point.

"The days of any time, any reason rate hikes and late fee traps have to end," President Obama said as he sat around a table with top executives of 14 credit card companies today.
Sitting in the Roosevelt room in the private meeting, Mr. Obama told the executives that every day he reads 10 letters, winnowed from the thousands the White House receives (as we told you in February), and on average one of the 10 is someone complaining about unfair credit card company practices.
The president told them "of the abuses and some of the problems that a lot of people are familiar with," as he said with reporters present, "people finding themselves starting off with a low rate and the next thing they know their interest rates have doubled; fees that they didn't know about that are suddenly tacked on to their bills; a whole lack of clarity and transparency in terms of the terms and conditions of their credit cards.
Mr. Obama outlined four core proposals that he'd like to see:
• Banning unfair rate increases and forbidding abusive fees and penalties;
• "No more fine print; no more confusing terms and conditions";
• Having every credit card company "issue a plain- vanilla, easy-to-understand, simplest-terms-possible credit card as a default credit card that the average user can feel comfortable with"; and
• Requiring more accountability in the system, more effective oversight and more effective enforcement.
Some of the attendees from the credit card industry said the meeting was more "political theater" than anything else, more for the cameras than about substance. The industry sees the measures it's been taking as necessary in a recession, with Americans accruing more credit than ever before and many not paying their bills.
The Federal Reserve is about to issue new regulations relating to credit cards. At the meeting, Pamela Joseph, Vice Chairman of Payments for US Bancorp, told President Obama that it was her task to make the case to him as to why the industry feels those regulations will be enough and the legislation making its was through Capitol Hill is not needed.
"Go ahead and make your case," the president said, "but I disagree."
With cameras in the room, he said, "we want to preserve the credit card market. But we also want to do so in a way that eliminates some of the abuses and some of the problems that a lot of people are familiar with. And so there's going to be action in Congress. Our administration is going to be pushing for reform in this area. We think it's important that we get input from the credit card issuers as we shape this reform."

Since its a slow time in pirates news this time a year, and i find myself constantly checking this site only to see fan posts from pirates 21 and even meek, i figured i would post some info i learned on Anothony Rendon today....
Today at work i spotted a patient wearing an MLB.com fleece and talking about spring training to a front desk employee so i started to ask him if he worked for the pirates. He said no that he was a reporter/writer for MLB.com and covers the draft and the minor leagues. So of course i picked his brain and checked his credentials, turns out he wasnt lieing but i cant say his name for HIPPA violations.
Anyway, he follows propects close, also interviews GMs around the league and does alot with the draft coverage. And living in pittsburgh he knows Neal H pretty well. So of course we started talking buccos, and i asked him about Neal H and blah blah blah, but the interesting part was i told him how most of the fanbase is excited about drafting Rendon and he told me some interesting things. Basically He told me Rendon isnt considerd a lock as the number 1 (obviously its only jan 6) but apprently GMs around the league and scouts are really worried about his ankle. I guess this was his second major ankle surgery, and although he wasnt fast to begin with, his speed and mobility has taken a hit, and even if rendon rakes, GMs will be very hesitant because of his ankle injury history. He also told me there is 2 or 3 college arms that scouts and everyone are very very high on and are considered number one options, and that the pirates might take one to help fill out a top of the line roation in a few years when tallion is ready. Obviously there is alot of time for things to happen but hearing this from someone who follows these things for a living was pretty cool.
I know this isnt awesome insider information, but i found it interesting MLB GMs and scouts are pretty skeptical about rendon being the clear cut number 1 choice he has kinda been made out to be, and lets not be surprised if the buccos take a college arm over him in the draft this year.
Also i am going to stay in contact with him and hoepfully get a BUCS DUGOUT NEAL H exclusive interview... hey i can dream cant i?

Here we go again.
For the third time in two years, Florida needs a new education commissioner.
"This is a disappointment that we are having to face this same leadership challenge again," said Hillsborough schools superintendent MaryEllen Elia, who added she isn't interested in the job and doesn't know anyone who is.
Despite its national reputation in school reform circles, Florida hasn't found it easy to attract — or keep — a leader since Gov. Rick Scott took office. Three commissioners and two interim commissioners have gone through the state Department of Education in Scott's 31 months. Tony Bennett, a rising star in education reform, lasted six months. His predecessor, Gerard Robinson, was on the job for one year.
That track record could make it tough for Florida to recruit top-tier candidates.
"Good luck with that," said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative think tank, who called Bennett's departure a "big loss for Florida."
Andy Smarick, former deputy education commissioner for New Jersey and a player in reform circles, said the constant churn sends the wrong signal.
"People qualified to be state chiefs take very seriously the political environment in the states they are considering," he said. "They know changes in elections, changes in state boards, can leave them quickly without a job. That's an issue."
Florida's Board of Education is expected to name K-12 chancellor Pam Stewart the interim commissioner Friday. She served in the role prior to Bennett's selection in December. Stewart declined to comment Thursday.
In at least one corner of the state, the idea of returning the decision to voters has increasing appeal. The last elected commissioner was Charlie Crist.
"If our state's voters can be entrusted with going to the polls and electing the Florida commissioner of agriculture, then certainly they should be able to elect the state's education commissioner," Sharon Glickman, president of the Broward Teachers Union, said in a statement.
State Sens. Joe Negron, R-Palm City, and Greg Evers, R-Baker, proposed just that last year, but the idea died in committee.
In many ways, the top job has been a tough sell since Scott ushered out former commissioner Eric Smith in 2011, leaving a disgruntled state board. T. Willard Fair quit the board in protest.
A search for Smith's replacement attracted mostly second-tier candidates. Robinson, Virginia's secretary of education, eventually was selected. He resigned abruptly after a rocky year spent defending the state's accountability system against a public outcry over dramatic drops in test scores.
Yet another search brought another lackluster pool of candidates. After the search was extended, Bennett lost his re-election bid as Indiana's education commissioner and Florida quickly hired him.
With Bennett gone, state board member John Colon said he expects the board to move ahead with a national search for a full-time replacement.
Cheryl Etters, a spokeswoman for the education department, said there's no information on how a search will proceed.
Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, whose name has been floated for the job before, took a more optimistic view than most. He doesn't think the state will have trouble attracting good candidates.
"The fact that this is a significant challenge makes it attractive to remarkable leaders," he said.
Asked if he wanted the job, however, Carvalho said no. He has a contract until 2020.

Jackson County is one of the original 23 counties created in the State of Texas on March 17, 1836, and is named for Andrew Jackson, then President of the United States. Below are some points of historic interest in Jackson County:
Historic Texana Church
Jackson County's oldest church was built in 1859. It is has recently been restored and moved to the Brackenridge Park Campground on Hwy. 111, 6 1/2 mi. east of Edna. Tours for viewing are available.
La Salle Odyssey
An eight-museum tour with exhibits that depict the epic story of La Salle's expedition. Each exhibit tells a portion of the larger story and each displays artifacts from La Salle's ship, La Belle, which was recently recovered from Matagorda Bay. The museums are located in six counties, all of which are members of the Texas Settlement Region. The saga begins at Texana Museum located in Edna. (See below)
Texana Museum & Library Association
403 N. Wells, Edna, TX 77957
One of the most interesting places to visit in Jackson County is the Texana Museum. A wealth of information on early Jackson County is housed in the museum library, including an exhibit on the Karankawa Indians and their role in the La Salle Expedition. This exhibit is one of eight in the La Salle Odyssey (see above). Also featured are a rare violin dated at more than 300 years old, a rosewood Chickering Piano over 135 years old, a cowboy display, old country store, turn of the century dentist's office and much more. Open Thursday and Friday, 1-5 p.m. or by appointment for groups.

TALLAHASSEE: Governor Rick Scott has been on the job for a few days and wants residents to know that he's already getting to work.
Scott says the state's two private planes have been sold.
"It currently costs $2.4 million a year to operate the planes. It's an unnecessary expense to tax payers. You know I campaigned on this issue, continue to look at everything I can on how to save money," said Scott.
Scott said he plans to continue using his Raytheon Beechcraft 400 jet to travel the state – paying its costs out of his own pocket.
Scott isn't wasting time touting his accomplishments in office.
The state's 43rd governor held a news conference to address the press and the public on his third full day in office.
"As you know my campaign focused on creating 700,000 jobs and turning the economy around," said Scott.
Scott defended his decision to pay six-figure salaries to at least eight staffers in his office, while also filling lobbyist positions at agencies under his control. During the governor's race, Scott vowed to eliminate agency lobbyists as part of his push to trim state government and close a $3.5 billion budget shortfall.
"I'm paying what I think are competitive salaries," Scott said. "If you look at what my goals are…I think we should look around the country, around the state, and find the best people. And pay them competitive compensation."
The role of lobbyists, Scott said, "They're basically going to be focusing on my agenda. Agencies won't have a different agenda than what the governor's is….my agenda is going to be jobs, jobs, jobs, and reducing the size of government, and reducing regulations that kill jobs."
Turning the economy around will be the job of the newly appointed Secretary of Community Development. Scott says it is imperative the sunshine state become a business-friendly environment.
"First we're getting the best educated workforce, next getting rid of regulations that kill jobs and third watch how we spend the money," Scott said.
Scott also appointed a new education advisor, who will be tasked with shaking up the public education system.
"We're going to eliminate tenure going to increase choice as much as possible, increase pay to make best teachers the best," said Scott.
After the news conference, the governor flew to Port Canaveral to tour Disney's newest cruise ship, which is expected to bring 450 jobs to the state.

Sought this place out, only by virtue of me being in Dublin for the moment, thanks to the "places" feature on this sight..
Located in a strip mall..sort of tucked in the corner..I always give places that call themselves a wine shop, who happen to have beer as well..a bit of leeway..expectations are really set at zero..
that said i found this place appealing..
The beer area is small..with a few cooler doors, and about 3/4 of an isle, with not every shelf devoted to beer within.clean, which I like..not particularly organized..certainly not strewn about..
bombers, sixers and fours.a few singles..but a passable selection based on what I have seen in the area..I still walked out with a 3 bombers of different beers I havent tried..and at a fair price..
I recieved the obligitory "can I help you find something?" after a couple minutes lingering..nothing extrodinary..
Overall if you are an out-of-towner in the area I would definatley seek this place out..and if you live here..well I guess you know better selections are available 15-20 minutes away...

2.95/5 rDev -19.4%
Pretty average place, but it has the best selection close to my home. Otherwise I am driving 15-20 minutes to go elsewhere.
Pretty cramped little place, small isles and no good place to stand and be checked out.
They have pretty standard Ohio craft beer: GLBC, Stone, Lagunitas, Bells, etc. They really fall short with 12 packs and samplers as there are almost none and the ones they do have aren't chilled.
Unfortunately, freshness is seriously suspect. There are often seasonals from last season or two seasons ago. Some bottles have a healthy coat of dust on them. I have gotten 90 Minute IPA here that was 9 months old and tasted more like a Scotch ale. Check freshness dates if available or buy when newly in season.

I stumbled upon this place while going to a nearby Mexican restaurant. I never know what to think about or expect from Ohio's State Liquor Agencies... such weird entities!
Decided to go in- surprise! Past the Bud Light and Keystone Light Warhol-like roadblocks, there are several fridges with good craft (and cold!) beer. Stone, Weyerbacher, Bell's, Dogfish... Good selection of six-packs and bombers.
For Dublin, this is a very nice little shop with quality stuff and good prices.
I'll go back!

This is probably the closest to home where I can find good craft beer. Their signs that say 250 plus different beers, I'm not sure about that. They do have a pretty good stable of Ohio's best including Great Lakes, Bells, Founders, Alesmith and Dark Horse.
Sometimes I think the staff has no clue about what is going on. They had a case of Dreadnaught there on special and said it was the last we'd be able to get for a while except for the fact that Three Floyds has been gone from Ohio for quite some time. After seeing this I really question how fresh some of there stuff is, but most of their stock is kept in a cooler.
Also they have a pretty solid hard liquor store here too.
Prices seem to be about right on with the rest of the city.

Located off Frantz Rd. between Tuttle Crossing & Hayden Run/Dublin Rd.
Decent service, the younger guy offers tips about beer and is pretty social. I noticed a new Wisconsin brewery on the shelves and he pointed out their other offering (cannot recall the brewery).
I assume they make most of their money off the liquor & wine selections; have about 5-6 door in the cooler dedicated to beer. The American craft selection contains the usual suspects: GLBC, SN, Southern Tier, Bells, Founders, Avery, Weyerbacher, etc. Mostly 6-packs and a door of bombers. They always satisfy my SN Torpedo craving.
Be careful when looking at IPAs and others; some old product sitting on the shelf. But, they have some of the older stuff which holds up such as Founders BS and SN Bigfoot.
Prices are pretty average for the region and its convenient location makes it an easy stop when I don't want to drive to farther spots (Kenny Rd. Market, Andersons, From the Vine, etc.). I am glad I stumbled across it a year ago & recommended if in the area and need good beer.

This is a liquor store in the Tuttle area that also sells wine and beer. It is located in a shopping center with a couple places to eat, a couple bars, and a drive thru. When you walk in the front door the beer stash is to the right and mostly in coolers that line the wall. The farthest cooler has a singles selection but it tends to be a hit or miss kind of thing. Quality seems to be very good but you can't be too careful. I have seen several selections that have been in the store for a year or more. Service is usually nice. Someone almost always tells me what new beers are in stock when I walk in. Some of my recent purchases include selections from: Columbus Brewing, Bells, Great Lakes, Founders, Southern Tier, Flat Earth, and Anchor.
Overall this is a decent stop to pick up a sixer of craft brews since most of the stock is kept cold. This isn't a store I would seek out but nice for the residents of the Dublin area to have so close.

Dublin Wine Cellar is located off Franz Road in Karric Square. Parking is plentiful in front of the strip mall.
The store is relatively small, with the majority of the beer being in coolers on the right side. There is also a small cooler of singles in the rear of the store. Some variety packs and larger quantity packs are on shelves as well.
The store claims to carry 250 different beers although that number may be a bit high. Domestic craft brewers like Avery, Magic Hat, Great Lakes, CBC, Stone, Bell's and Rogue can be found. As for imports, the regions are segmented in the coolers and Germany, the UK are represented among others.
Service is always friendly on my visits, and the proprietor is always quick to point out what new beers are in when he sees someone perusing the craft brews. They periodically host beer tastings as well.
Overall this is a good spot to hit in the Tuttle area.

Terelle Pryor faces what is undoubtedly the most momentous event of his young life professionally speaking. While I'm no longer a young man I still remember clearly the moment I got my first big shot in my chosen career. The jitters of the moment, the thoughts of whether I had properly prepared for the challenge and the calmness that came with the certainty I had.
Terelle has such a moment tonight. And he has been denied several such moments in the past. He was denied a Senior season and being the hero of campus, denied a seat at the NFL draft as a top prospect. Instead he labored in obscurity, a supplemental pick of an owner/general manager whose recent draft choices weren't that stellar. The accolades generally reserved for young NFL prospects denied him.
Whether you thought Flynn was the answer this year, or Pryor, you have to be happy to see this young man get an opportunity to shine. He has done nothing but work hard for this team since he arrived. He hasn't complained, he hasn't caused distractions, He has been a model football player.
And tonight he gets a shot to claim a football team. I know there are some that doubt this, but it is clearly the case. He has been given the number 2, his number, his identity and in some ways a representation of the faith of Mark Davis, Reggie McKenzie, and Dennis Allen that he can place his own positive mark on this temporarily dishonored number. You have veteran's like Woodson talking about the spark you believe will be provided when he comes in.
If you have been watching the preseason, you have seen the team responding to him. Coaches on the sidelines, players etc... It's very clear this team likes and respects him. If Woodson's words are to be trusted, believes in him, and what raider fan, would disagree with Woodson.
I personally don't believe in coincidences and when I see team leaders commenting, NFL.com cheerleading even if somewhat subdued, I believe that his moment has come and the team is blessing it. Even in some ways downplaying the success he need achieve in arguing on NFL .com, the NFL controlled media site how succesfull he need not be to win the Job over Flynn. The Spin seems in and it isn't for Flynn.
Instead, the NFL mythmaker stage has been set and again Flynn seems to be looking at it from the wings. Lord knows the NFL likes making these moments, forgotten in failure or revered in the future success. They plan them with careful precision with NFL films capturing the footage. And the Pryor moment has been set with his prior history making it the kind of moment dreams are made of and hero's born from. The moments that have caused so many young boys to dream of future glory and old fans to remember what might have been if only....
It is a momentus moment. One long dreamed of and one that will be achieved in as inhospitable environment as the NFL preseason can provide. How he takes this moment will become part of his legacy, even potentially his legend should he become a great raider quarterback. It's the kind of moment great men dream to be placed in. A moment that matters and can change your life for good or ill.
He has prepared well. For beside him he will have receivers he knows very well in Rod Streater and Jacoby Ford. It seemed I just kept seeing photo's of these three off twitter this last off-season. That they were three amigo's all working hard at getting better. I suspect, he has his horses, knows them well, and tonight will do his best to ride with them to victory.
As a raider fan I can not help but hope he is wildly successful. I know, however, the team he is to lead has not been the sharpest tool in the shed. Yet somehow this young man brings that air of confidence and certainty that can make one believe, he might just do so.
Hopefully this momentus moment will be one of success, For Terrelle Pryor in the here and now. He has worked hard and long to get such a moment, one he can make his own. Our team has suffered long without players capable of seizing such moments and making them their own. May Terrelle be such a player, we need one.

So, I was reading this article, and it brings up an interesting thought:
There is no award for Offensive Player of the Year. There is an honor for the other half of the court, Defensive Player of the Year. But no one ever has felt compelled to balance things—and to clear up the annual confusion among MVP voters—by establishing a trophy to be handed to the league's most dominant or impactful performer at the end of the floor that lights up scoreboards.
What happens, then, is that the MVP becomes the repository for such scoring stars—or assists stars, or leaders in whatever other statistical measure fascinates a given voter. Meanwhile, others choose to wrestle with the concept of a player's "value" relative both to his team and within the league.
This could definitely clear things up. I mean, the NFL has Offensive player of the year, and there has clearly been a difference between the best offensive player and the MVP in the NBA for the past several seasons. This could allow the critics that cry out over efficiency and numbers to give the OPOY to the most efficient/best scorer/passer/all-around offensive player in any given year. This would also clear up the MVP as the player that has the most impact on his team. Now, this definition will always make the award a subjective decision, but I think an OPOY would help clear up ambiguity for people who are torn between making a subjective decision based on observation and a cold, analytical decision based on numbers.
Or is this a stupid idea?

Gold jewellery design
Gold's unique physical properties, its radiance and malleability, its purity and untarnishable nature, have proved an irresistible combination for jewellery designers all over the world. Over the centuries, goldsmiths and highly skilled artisans have infused gold with their own unique talents, creativity and passion. The result has been the extraordinary variety of gold jewellery that exists today. A fusion of local artistry and urban chic, symbolism and expressiveness, and finely honed techniques culminates in extraordinary pieces.
Today innovation is not confined to any one market; the most beautifully crafted piece is as likely to emerge from Amritsar as it is from Arezzo. The intrinsic value of gold today has driven elite designers to both reinvent the classics and take gold design in starkly new directions, elevating its preciousness. There is no centre for gold jewellery anymore. Just as Italy offers up a source of design inspiration for China, so China now inspires other markets and other jewellers, too. And so the process of creation and reaction carries on.
Tapping into this new trade in gold, the exchange of brilliance rather than bullion, the World Gold Council has created a digital platform: LoveGold. It is simply a place to discover the most beautiful gold jewellery being made, desired, given and worn today. We invite you to step into this world and discover the best that gold can be.
The latest from LoveGold:
We've got Wanderlust – have you? Wherever it's taking you this summer, share photos of the gold jewellery you find and wear on your travels using #Wanderlust #LoveGold and you could see them on LoveGold.com
We love to travel. Our passion is gold. Seeking beautiful jewellery in new places – near and far away. Follow the journey this summer...

Patrick Pierson: A DECADE OF DREAMS, NO LIMITS It's been seventeen rambunctious years since I began the�Mariner Series�- seventeen years filled with incredibly good fortune, most of which never happened: In fact, I may be one of the most alternately privileged and humble, notorious and unacknowledged, admired and berated artists you've ever met. Still, the�Mariner Series�has come a long way since I made those quirky little mermalien sketches, the sole purpose of which was to lift an emerging artist out of his down-and-out funk long enough to maybe put some food on the table for a change. To my never-ending shock and wonderment, the�Mariner Series�has become one of the most widely collected, longest lasting and successful...

The fourth-ranked Arkansas baseball team scored six times in the bottom of the first and cruised to an 11-5 win over Villanova on Friday afternoon in front of 6,317 fans at Baum Stadium.
The Razorbacks got the bats going early, scoring nine runs in the first four innings of the game. The 11 runs put up by Arkansas were the most runs on opening day since the 2005 season when the Razorbacks scored 13 times against Dallas Baptist.
Arkansas improved to 42-11 in season openers since the 1960 season and has now won 18 straight regular season openers.
Nine different Razorbacks recorded a hit in the win, including three players that had multi-hit performances. Matt Reynolds led the way, going 3-for-3 with a RBI and two runs scored. Jacob Morris added two hits, including Arkansas' first home run of the season, a no-doubt blast over the left field wall. Morris added three RBI and scored twice. Tim Carver went 2-for-3 with a RBI and a run scored.
Preseason All-American DJ Baxendale got the season started on a strong note, throwing five shutout innings to earn the win. Baxendale struck out three and allowed just four hits in his outing.
Nolan Sanburn pitched a perfect ninth inning to close the game, striking out one.
Arkansas and Villanova continue their three-game weekend series on Saturday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. Sophomore righty Ryne Stanek will get the start for the Razorbacks, while sophomore right-handed pitcher Pat Young will start for the Wildcats. Single-game tickets for Saturday's game is $10 for reserved and $8 for general admission. Saturday is Cox magnet schedule day at Baum Stadium. All fans in attendance will receive the 2012 Arkansas baseball magnet schedule.

Reader's Review: A gem! Simply a magnificent collection of life's lessons
This book has everything from laughs, tears, and joyful moments, to just some great stories about life. Reinhardt Brucker is "an everyday man" who has really taught me to be all I can be. His "humbling" everyday stories, which we can all relate to in some way, shape or form, have brought tears to my eyes. He posesses a great ability to make you think, and appreciate life for all it's worth

It looks like today may be the end of Tim Tebow era in Denver. I've been watching Denver Broncos games ever since i can remember. The routine was generally the same when i was young. My two brothers and i would go to the sock drawer, pull out a huge pair of tube socks (as make shift flags) and head out to the back yard. My older brother Shane would always be the quarterback and pretended he was Craig Morton while my younger brother Shell and i would square up against each other and pretend we were Rick Upchurch and Haven Moses.
We learned to play and appreciate sports from my Dad. We watched Broncos games together, went to punt-pass-and-kick events together, and supported each other all the way through high school. Today, many moons later, i can still recall those days and all the fun we had together both playing and watching football games together as a family. I don't think we ever missed a Broncos Game from 1st grade through our senior year. Now grown up, I've made it a point to have similar experiences with my boys.
On Thursday, November 17, 2011 i had an opportunity to take my ten year old son Kyle to the Broncos-NY Jets game. We arrived early, threw some passes in the parking lot, loaded up on hotdogs and pretzels, and got down near the field just before the game started. As you would expect in Colorado in November the night was cool so we snuggled up close, had a couple hot chocolates, and cheered on the Broncos against the visiting Jets.
For most of the game and true to his usual form, Tim Tebow and the Broncos offense struggled. Nothing seemed to be working but when dads and sons are together it all seemed to be ok anyway. If nothing else, our bellies were full. As the fourth quarter arrived, a general buzz began to stir in our section. Down by 3, with less than five minutes to go things didn't look good. Especially when the Broncos got the ball at their own 5 yard line. Deep in his own territory, Tim Tebow ran onto the field, as the fans (including my son and i) began to cheer "Tebow, Tebow, Tebow." Unfortunately, our seats were in the exact opposite endzone so Tebow seemed five miles away as that last chance for victory began to unfold.
And then like a fairy tale , it all began to happen. A completion here, a scramble there, and a nervous coach Ryan pacing up and down the sidelines. Simultaneously, my son's eyes began to light up. He eventually had to stand up, unable to contain himself anymore. Play after play, tick after tick, Tebow and the Broncos marched their way closer to our side of the field. Then, next thing you know, the Broncos are on the 20 yard line and heading right towards our seats in the endzone. Being a gung-ho photographer, i first grabbed my camera and got ready for the next play. I just knew (everyone there knew) that something special was about to happen. But then it hit me, i thought about my brothers, and my dad, and our times together watching the Broncos over all those years growing up and i decided to put the camera in my pocket and picked up my son and put him on the chair in front of me so he could see better. This was going to be our moment and i didn't want to miss it because i wanted a cool photo.
The ball is hiked, Tebow does a side step-shimmy and suddenly gallops 20 yards for one of the most memorable touchdowns i have ever watched a Denver Broncos player make. No it wasn't "the Drive" against the Browns,, the Elway helicopter move, or the blocked Louis Wright TD against San Diego, but it was 95 yards, against the odds, and the NY Jets, and it was me and my son hugging, dancing, and celebrating together. A moment i know he will never forget as i picked him up on my shoulders and we raised our hands together in victory!
In conclusion, for the better part of the last 18 months, my son has become an even bigger Broncos fan because of number 15. He adores Tim Tebow and his 4th quarter magic and keeps a poster of him and his jersey hung up on his bedroom wall. As a father, Tim Tebow was the perfect role model for determination, character, defeating the odds, and being thankful for what you have. My son and I are going to miss him even as we win some championships with Peyton Manning at the helm in the coming years.
I 100% support the move John Elway made to bring in this future Hall of Fame Quarterback to Denver but i will never forget Tim Tebow and the amazing 2011 season. The national attention, the example, the comeback wins, and mostly the time i got to celebrate one of those victories with my son.
Just a week ago, Kyle turned 11 and he and his friends wanted to play some pick up tackle football at Legend High School and pretended they were their favorite NFL stars . After two hours of playing my son yelled, Dad can you take a picture of us, and without prompting they all got down and Tebowed. The Broncos have had some amazing players over the years, but none of them were anything like Tim Tebow. I wonder what stories Kyle will tell his son someday about the time he and his old man watched Tim Tebow beat the Jets!
Thank you Tim Tebow! You have been a class act and a great competitor since your first day in Denver. Good luck on your next journey and my son and i look foward to following your career no matter where that will be. Go Broncos, Go Peyton Manning, and Go Tim Tebow!

LA MESA (CNS) - A man allegedly spotted rifling around inside a shopper's truck at the the Grossmont Center ran from police but was arrested a short time later, police said Sunday.
The shopper called police about 7:30 p.m. Saturday to report that the suspect, later identified as Lance Rodgers, 31, of El Cajon, was combing through his property inside his 2004 Ford Ranger parked in the mall's parking lot, 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, La Mesa police Lt. Ray Sweeney said.
The victim confronted the suspect, and he ran off, Sweeney said. However, he didn't get far.
An officer contacted him at a nearby Wal-Mart, but he ran off again, only to be caught after a short chase, Sweeney said. Neither Rodgers or the officer was injured, he said.
Rodgers was arrested for suspicion of burglary, possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest, and was booked into San Diego Central Jail, Sweeney said.
He was being held in lieu of $25,000, and was scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, according to jail records.
Sweeney asked anyone with additional information to call the La Mesa Police Department at (619) 667-1400, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Author: Robert Yeats
Publisher: Oregon State University Press
- Rock-solid information from a lifelong researcher
- Personable, accessible prose from a longtime teacher
- Unique breadth of subject matter going beyond mere science
- A few details have changed since publication
- Some interesting figures could be larger
- Only partially applicable outside California
- Covers earthquake history, geology, phenomena and preventive measures
- A scientist's attention to correct detail with a citizen's focus on relevance
- Enough breadth and local detail for every part of the Golden State
Book Review
The greatest challenge is sprawling California, whose boundaries encompass more than 30 million people and several different geologic regimes. The deadly subduction zone of the northwest, shared with Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, is capable of far larger shocks than anywhere else in the state. The parallel fault strands of the San Francisco Bay area threaten this important region where cities have spread heedless of the hazard, despite the example of 1906. Just inland and down the Coast Range are menacing thrust faults whose cumulative effects have created the area's oil-producing formations. And Southern California, whose fault map resembles the palm of a hand, nervously awaits earthquakes of all sizes both distant and unexpectedly underfoot.
The story of seismology's progress is intimately connected to California's history and government, and Yeats is right to dwell on it. Many different cities, and people whose names live on in their street names and institutions, played roles in this history. The curious result is a sense of regional pride. Without "his majesty the earthquake," in Bailey Willis's phrase, California would not exist in all its geographic variety and economic vitality. And without knowing the human history of earthquakes in California, citizens would stumble over hidden faults underlying today's political landscape.
Yeats has made it his mission, after writing research papers and textbooks and "Living with Earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest," to present the citizens of California with the insight gained in the century since 1906--half of which includes his career. It is a princely gift. For those who believe in putting down roots in the land they inhabit, not just the town, Yeats has written the best survivor's guide I know. This book truly can save your life.

Anyone who apposes the President's Socialist agenda and vision for the country is going to be labeled a racist by the President's backers, aka most of the mass media. They use this as a smear and diversionary tactic to discredit their opposition and obscure the truth. The truth is that health care reform is a thinly veiled attempt by those in power, who are seeking to increase that power, to socialize one sixth of the economy under the guise of helping those in need. "Capitalism is the inequitable distribution of wealth; Socialism is the equitable distribution of poverty, and Communism is Socialism with a gun at your back." (Winston Churchill)

Anyone who uses the phrase, "I have lots of black friends" just to qualify a statement should take a long hard look in the mirror.Besides, the 65% being discussed is 65% of those people attending the town halls, not 65% of the ENTIRE national population!You need "hooked on phonics" my friend.

The One World Order loves Democrats and Rebublicans that still delude themslevs to think we have 2 parties driving this bus. However those still asleep are helping the plan of divide and conquer , or working for the CIA to disrupt. 27 trillion dollars of our future tax dollars has been spent in the last year by both parties(gauranteeing a collapse of the dollar very soon ) bailing out the Fed and other private offshore scams with NO OVERSIGHT , so which party is responsible ? You may want to research the Federal reserve by watching MONEY MASTERS and then educate yourself on who also owns the DTCC , if you enen understand the magnitude of these 2 fraudulent scams counterfeitiung all money and securities , which are a financial backing for the UN. Both parties work for the same owners and do what they are told , wake up and become united we belong to NO PARTY we are Americans that are tired of all the puppet regimes , so rather than play into their hands why not consider the obvious and become part of the solution rather than childish responses regarding some percieved party affiliation? The Ammericans oppose this health care scam and the largets tax on Earth dressed up as cap and trade.Free speech among other rights are being trampled , and bothe recent puppet regimes are and have been operating outside the Constitution , you OK with that? You do realize if that passes our economy is finished right? Wake up , the USA is being systimatically gutted from the inside .

Time Force Quartz Chronograph Miyota OS 10
Since the light conditions were good
I decided to take another movement shot after the movement was back in the case. If you compare this movement shot with the identical caliber Miyota OS 10 in the "Campmor" Quartz chronograph from TIMEX, then you can clearly see that TIMEX has an issue with finger prints on factory new movements. I had found finger prints on two of my five Timex movements and one movement - the perpetual calendar - I have not even seen yet.
The slight discolorations on this movement's top plate are residues from lubricant. Just above the (-) marking, you see a bit of grease.
