Bridges, tunnels, highways, seaports, airports are in such disrepair that we cannot compete economically with much of the Western world.
We seem unable to realize that not only are lives at danger, but the whole economic system is at risk if a major highway or bridge collapses, making it impossible for millions of people to reach work by automobile, and to have the ability to do the normal every day activities that fuel our economic growth.
We committed to public works projects in the time of the New Deal and Franklin D. Roosevelt; to interstate highway development under Dwight D. Eisenhower; and to all kinds of other projects during the booming economy of the 1960s under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.
But in the past 20 years, mostly under GOP Congressional control, we have lost the vision and the recognition of the dire need for investment, and for commitment to rebuilt our infrastructure.
This is ironic, since the two single greatest public works projects in American history were the Transcontinental Railroad under Republican Abraham Lincoln; and the interstate highway system's inception under Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower.
But then, the Republican Party of the last two decades, and even more right now, is a skeleton of its old self, and the nation is the ultimate loser!]]>
Kasich has so many credentials that make him an ideal candidate for the GOP, including:
Kasich comes from Ohio, the single most crucial state in Presidential elections, with the fact that every President elected in the past 50 years has won Ohio.
Kasich's state, Ohio, gave us six Republican Presidents between Ulysses S. Grant in 1868 and Warren G. Harding dying in office in 1923.
Kasich has the advantage of having run a state government of substantial size, seen as a plus over someone who has only served in Congress, and particularly, the Senate.
Kasich, however, has had long experience in Congress, having served as a Congressman from the 12th district from 1983-2001, a total of 18 years.
Kasich served as Budget Committee Chairman in the House of Representatives from 1995-2001, making him very knowledgeable on economic issues.
Kasich also has worked as a journalist, for Fox News Channel, and for awhile, had his own show on that channel, and he came across as an interesting speaker and commentator, more so than most on that right wing channel.
Kasich also worked as an investment banker on Wall Street, so has business experience, which most politicians do not have.
Kasich won a two to one victory in popular votes in his reelection efforts for the Governorship of Ohio in 2014, after a much closer race for his first term in 2010.
Kasich has an engaging personality, and has avoided divisive rhetoric in his career, and does not come across as looney or crazy or purely stupid, as many other potential GOP Presidential nominees have managed to do.
Kasich has avoided identification with the Religious Right, while converting from Catholicism to Evangelical Protestantism.
During his Congressional career, Kasich supported the Assault Weapons Ban passed under President Bill Clinton, which angered the National Rifle Association; fought to cut government spending on what he considered wasteful programs; and worked to cut corporate tax loopholes.
Kasich has always come across as having an independent streak, so he has accepted Medicaid expansion, which most other GOP governors have rejected, and he is not seen as a Tea Party supporter.
Kasich also has, just this past week, avoided attacking the immigration executive order of President Barack Obama, showing understanding of the plight of illegal immigrants, who, as he said, did wrong, but that realistically, there is no way to deport eleven million people, and instead we should bring them in from the shadows.
Kasich has made enemies on his stand against abortion, and his crackdown on labor unions, with the latter's rights to collective bargaining curbed by Kasich, but then soundly defeated by voters in a referendum by 61-39 percent, and he then backed off and accepted the defeat in a gracious manner.
No one is saying that Kasich is desirable in comparison to any potential Democratic nominee for President. All that is being said is that he stands out as preferable to an independent or a Democrat who might be disillusioned, and that he has an image which allows for the possibility of his being a serious contender for the White House, if only he can make it past the primaries and caucuses, which is a major obstacle to any potential Presidential candidacy on his part!]]>
Critics say Obama is a Muslim, even though he never attended services at a mosque, and has called himself a Christian. Meanwhile, he has had America war against terrorist Muslims, and has used drones and troops to kill more Muslims than George W. Bush, including Osama Bin Laden!
Critics say Obama is a weak President, who has been unwilling to confront Vladamir Putin and defend Ukraine, while George W. Bush did not confront Putin on military action in Georgia in 2008; Lyndon B. Johnson did not confront the old Soviet Union on military action in Czechoslovakia in 1968; and Dwight D. Eisenhower did not confront the old Soviet Union on military action in Hungary in 1956.
Critics say that Obama is an "Emperor" or "King" because of action on immigration reform, but this is the same President they have said is "weak", and when Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and all of the other Republican and Democratic Presidents since Dwight D. Eisenhower took action on immigration, none of them were called "Emperor" or "King". So Obama is a "weak" President who is also an "Emperor" or "King"?
Critics say Obama is a Socialist, but Obama accepted the Newt Gingrich–Bob Dole–Heritage Foundation–Mitt Romney concept of health care, when he pushed for "ObamaCare", which gives private insurance companies full control over health care when many Democrats and liberals and progressives really want "Medicare for all".
Critics say Obama is anti capitalist, but Obama has tied himself to Wall Street much more than many Democrats and liberals and progressives wish he had, and the stock market is at an all time high, up about 250 percent from when he came in.
Critics say Obama is adding more to the national debt than anyone, forgetting he came in at the lowest point in 75 years, and that much of the new debt was an outgrowth of the disastrous George W. Bush economic policies that would have added the same to the national debt if John McCain and Mitt Romney had been elected President.
Critics say that Obama refused to work with the opposition party, but NO President EVER had such obstructionism as Barack Obama has had, and Republican Presidents, in particular, have found that opposition Democrats, while challenging them, NEVER promoted total lack of cooperation as the extremist right wing Republicans, led by the Tea Party Movement, have done over the past six years. Despite that, Obama has presided over a long list of accomplishments.
Critics blame Obama for the loss of seats in Congress in midterm elections, when ALL Presidents have faced that, except Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. Harry Truman in 1946, Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954, Bill Clinton in 1994, George W. Bush in 2006, and now, Barack Obama in 2014, have seen the opposition party gain control of both houses of Congress. Also, FDR in 1938, Truman in 1950, Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958, John F. Kennedy in 1962, Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966, Richard Nixon in 1970, Gerald Ford in 1974, Jimmy Carter in 1978, Ronald Reagan in 1982, George H. W. Bush in 1990, and Barack Obama in 2010 lost seats, and in the case of Obama, control of the House of Representatives.
These are just eight ways in which the critics of Obama are manipulating the truth and the facts, and despite all these attacks, Barack Obama stands tall and will look much better in history than his critics wish to concede!]]>
Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, despite his entire cabinet suggesting that he not do so, as it would cause great controversy. But Lincoln knew it was the right thing to do morally and ethically, and that politically, it would help to prevent Great Britain and France from recognizing the Confederate States of America, which would have caused war between the US and the two major European powers.
Truman knew that his executive order ending segregation in the armed forces and in Washington DC would rile up the Southern states, and cause his election campaign a lot of damage in the Old South, but he went ahead anyway, because it was the right thing to do, and politically, it made him a profile in courage. Despite losing four Southern states to the States Rights Presidential candidate, Governor Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Truman still staged an upset victory over Republican nominee Thomas E. Dewey. His actions against segregation cemented an African American alliance long term with the Democratic Party, and spurred the growth of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
Now, Barack Obama taking action on immigration reform, is taking a courageous action, vehemently opposed by Republicans and conservatives, but the right thing to do morally and ethically. The long term effect will be to cement the Hispanic-Latino-Asian alliance with the Democratic Party, and will insure that the Republicans will be marginalized, as the white population dwindles over time, and the elderly right wing majority will disappear over time.
Let us salute our President, as history judges Lincoln and Truman, for having done the right thing in the midst of massive assault and threats of retribution. This is what the Presidency is all about–principle, conviction, and courage!]]>
Walker has now won the Governorship twice, in 2010 and 2014, along with a forced recall election in 2012, after he convinced the Republican controlled legislature to end collective bargaining with public employee unions, including teachers.
Despite his record of cutting education funding dramatically, and of refusal to accept Medicaid expansion for the poor of his state, Walker was able to overcome progressive forces who organized against him twice in two years.
Walker became linked with the Koch Brothers, and with voter suppression efforts, and became regarded by many on the progressive side, as the worst Tea Party Governor bar none, but still he won, and he now hints that he will seek the GOP Presidential nomination.
The question is whether he has enough clout and influence to mount a serious campaign, but it is clear that, in theory, he COULD win Wisconsin, if he ended up as the Republican Presidential nominee.
But to assume that he would have a real chance of winning the Presidency seems like an extremely long shot at this point!]]>
Talk of impeachment of President Obama is rampant, along with threats to shut down the government once again, even though that was harmful to the Republicans, and hurt the American economy.
Obama is also infuriating right wingers with his plan to veto the Keystone XL Pipeline, if the Senate approves the construction of this environmentally damaging project, which will create few jobs, and contradict treaties with native American tribes, including the Rosebud Sioux of South Dakota.
And potential Presidential candidates are acting as if they are patients in the "insane asylum"!
One example is former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who advocates that we promote the kind of racial harmony that existed when Jerry Falwell and Jesse Helms were alive! Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority and then the Christian Coalition, and Helms, Republican Senator from North Carolina, did just the opposite of what Santorum claims, and makes us realize that Santorum is from a parallel universe!
Another example is former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who was perceived as moderate conservative in 2008, but then sold his soul by going to Fox News Channel, and has said reckless and dangerous things since. He is now on a speech tour stating that America is moving toward becoming Nazi Germany under Barack Obama!
Interesting and crazy statement, as it is precisely people like Santorum and Huckabee, and Fox News Channel, the Heritage Foundation, and the Tea Party Movement, who are moving us closer to Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy, with their reckless attacks on Obama.
And yet we thought that Obama was a Communist, a Socialist, a Kenyan, an Indonesian, a black power racist–and now, suddenly, he is on the other side of the political spectrum with Nazism and Fascism, even though he is African American, and Nazis and Fascists would be out to kill people of so called "inferior" races!
This demonstrates how nuts and looney the GOP is becoming, and they will discover that their extremism, racism, nativism, misogyny, and homophobia will destroy their Senate majority and chances for the Presidency in 2016 and beyond!]]>
Jeanne Shaheen won a second term in the Senate, defeating Scott Brown in the New Hampshire Senate race.
Al Franken won a second term in the Senate in Minnesota.
Jeff Merkley won a second term in the Senate in Oregon.
Dick Durbin won a fourth term in the Senate in Illinois.
Chris Coons won a second term in the Senate in Delaware.
Ed Markey won a first full term in the Senate in Massachusetts, after having a special election victory in 2013 to replace Secretary of State John Kerry.
Cory Booker won a full Senate term in New Jersey.
Tom Udall won a second Senate term in New Mexico.
Jack Reed won a fourth Senate term in Rhode Island.
Mark Warner won a second Senate term in Virginia after a very close race with Ed Gillespie.
Brian Schatz won the remainder of a full term in the Senate from Hawaii.
Gary Peters was a new Senator elected in Michigan, to replace retiring Senator Carl Levin.
In the Governorship elections, Andrew Cuomo in New York and Jerry Brown in California won major victories, and also, Democrats kept or gained control of Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont–a total of ten victories. Their biggest win, however, was Tom Wolf, defeating Tom Corbett, making Pennsylvania, the sixth largest state, run by Democrats again!
It is not that Democrats have a total great number of victories, but it is worth mentioning that they are far from giving up on regaining the Senate in 2016, and many Governorships are likely to go to the Democrats as part of a "wave", helped along by the strong likelihood of a Democratic Presidential nominee winning in 2016, and by a substantial majority in the Electoral College!]]>
Hillary Clinton was involved in a lot of campaigning for fellow Democrats, who mostly lost their Senate and Gubernatorial races.
Joe Biden also was hurt, simply by association with President Obama, as the loss of the Senate was a blow to the administration and the Vice President.
But other potential Democratic nominees also suffered from the midterm elections.
Virginia Senator Mark Warner, considered a moderate alternative to most other potential Democratic candidates, struggled to win a close victory over Ed Gillespie, when polls indicated he would have an easy ride to reelection, so this might have affected any plans he had to run for President.
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, also considering a Presidential bid, was hurt by the surprise defeat of his Lieutenant Governor, Anthony Brown for the Governorship. losing to Larry Hogan, the Republican nominee in a very "blue" state. Maryland has had only two previous GOP Governors in the past 50 years, Spiro Agnew and Bob Ehrlich.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, also flirting with running for President, was not helped by a surprising Republican victory in the Gubernatorial race, with Charlie Baker defeating State Attorney General Martha Coakley, who also lost the 2010 Senate race to Scott Brown, who succeeded Ted Kennedy. Massachusetts has been strange in the reality that it has elected a number of Republican Governors, while the Democrats dominate the state legislature, and House and Senate races, with the brief exception of Scott Brown for three years.
It is likely that these temporary blows, to five leading potential nominees on the Democratic side, will have no long lasting effect, with the Democrats still having an overwhelming edge in the Electoral College for the 2016 Presidential election.]]>
This makes it essential for the Republican Party to take this into consideration, and to nominate an Ohioan for the Presidency in 2016. It also makes it essential for Democrats to fight tooth and nail to win this state, although they could win the Electoral College without Ohio.
A recent assessment of the Electoral College theorizes that the Democrats may have the 270 electoral votes needed to win the Presidency in 2016, as the so called "blue" states add up to 257 electoral votes, including all of New England and the Northeast, down to the District of Columbia; the Midwest states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota; and the Western states of California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, and Hawaii. Add Virginia and its 13 electoral votes, and the fact that the state has gone "blue" in Senate and gubernatorial elections recently, and is influenced by the power of the Northern Virginia (DC suburbs) population, and you have the precise number of electoral votes needed.
But of course, the desire is not to barely win, so Ohio is crucial for Democrats, but also Republicans!
This author has said before that, therefore, the best choice for the GOP Presidential nomination is either Governor John Kasich or Senator Rob Portman, more than any others, but not even certain that either will run for the Presidency, or do well in the caucuses and primaries, starting in January 2016!
Kasich has accepted Medicaid funding for the poor in his state, and Portman has backed gay marriage after his son came out as gay, and these factors hurt both with the Tea Party base in the Republican Party.
On the other hand, Kasich has a long record of Congressional service in the past, and headed the House Budget Committee in the 1990s; and Portman was Budget Director under President George W. Bush.
Both are mild mannered, not the type to make outrageous or ridiculous or extremist statements, and both seem competent to serve as President, more than most of the other potential alternatives.
The GOP National Convention will be in Cleveland, and there is a good chance of the Democratic National Convention being in Columbus, so Ohio moves to the forefront as a major battleground for 2016, which should not be ignored by either party, but particularly the Republicans!
Realize that six Ohio Republicans went on to become President from 1868-1923—Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding!
Will the GOP be smart enough to do the right thing? Don't bet on it!]]>
The recent Senate elections further destroyed any such "crossing of the aisle", and insured more deadlock and gridlock, as moderate Democrats were defeated, and the most moderate Republican Senate nominee was defeated.
I am referring to the defeat of Mark Pryor of Arkansas, and the pending likely defeat of Mark Begich of Alaska and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, on the Democratic side, and the defeat of Scott Brown of New Hampshire, who was often called the most moderate Republican.
When one looks at the new 2015 Senate, who is really "Moderate"?
On the Democratic side, we could say Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Bill Nelson of Florida, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Jon Tester of Montana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, and the almost defeated Mark Warner of Virginia, who shocked everyone, including himself, by his almost loss to Ed Gillespie.
On the Republican side, the list of "Moderates" would include Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, John McCain of Arizona, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.
Some readers might be shocked to see McCain and Flake included on this list, but in comparison to the rest of the GOP, they are, often, somewhat moderate and reasonable, although not reliably so.
This is a sad state of affairs, and not likely to change anytime soon!]]>

People: Revolutionary approach to publicity
Friday 30 July 1993
'We plan a revolutionary kind of school without teachers and books, and what better than having a revolutionary at its head?' the company president, Luciano Benetton, said. 'Castro's work is coming to an end. Something must change in Cuba. It may be that he has more time to travel in the future. If he were to accept, it might do something to improve Cuba's relations with the United States.'
The planned study and research centre, near Benetton's base in Treviso, could open late next year to about 30 young people who have displayed talent in applied arts.
BACK on the airwaves, this time in Canada, is Arthur Kent, better known as the Scud Stud. Kent will be presenting Canadian Broadcasting Corp's long-running current affairs programme Man Alive, which in his words 'looks at the moral and ethical dilemmas that all of us face, whether as individuals, as governments or as countries'.
Kent's earlier CBC and BBC work got him noticed and hired by NBC, the US network, and his good looks under fire during the Gulf war earned him his sobriquet. Although he'll be working in Toronto, Kent will maintain a base in Los Angeles, where he is suing NBC for his suspension and subsequent sacking after he refused an assignment in Croatia.
TALKING to the Turkish press about his flight from Britain, Asil Nadir, the self-styled Belgravia One, said he had slipped down a fire escape at dawn to a waiting car chauffeured by a Formula One driver. All went well until the police started to follow the car on its way to an airport in Dorset. Nadir lit up his first cigarette in nearly six months and ordered the driver to speed up to 160mph. 'If we slow down, the police will suspect us,' he told the driver.
Not that the driver had much choice. Nadir said he was cradling a pistol in his lap and that his teams at stops in airports in France, Austria and Turkey were all armed. 'I was determined to use the pistol if necessary,' he said. 'If the police had stopped me, I would have shot all four of them. I said if the driver stopped, I would shoot him too.'
A THAI official is worried that Madonna may scandalise and undermine his country, known for tolerating a huge sex industry. 'If she strips off her clothes in front of the audience, could we tolerate that?' the Education Minister, Samphan Thongsamak, asked. 'That would be against Thai people's ethics and culture and totally unacceptable.'
The minister, who earlier gave a green light to plans for a Madonna performance in Bangkok, was having second thoughts. 'If she really wants to perform here it should be in an enclosed venue, not the National Stadium.'
Michael Jackson will be performing at the 40,000-seat stadium soon, but as the minister pointed out 'a man singing and a woman undressing are totally different'. Totally.

Relievers Davis, Peralta have options picked up
Two of the best late-innings relievers in the game will not hit the free agent market this winter, as the Rays picked up the option on right-hander Joel Peralta's contract for next season and the Royals did the same with setup man Wade Davis.
It comes as no surprise that the Royals would pick up Davis' $7 million option after his standout 2014 season. The right-hander was dominant in a team-high 71 appearances for Kansas City, going 9-2 with a 1.00 ERA in 72 innings ahead of closer Greg Holland.
Davis' 1.00 ERA led all Major League relievers and was eighth-lowest all-time by an AL reliever. His 109 strikeouts were also a club record for a reliever.
Peralta, who ranked second on the Rays staff with 69 appearances last year, leads all Major League pitchers with 296 appearances since he joined the Rays in 2011.
"Joel has accomplished a lot in a Rays uniform, and we are excited to welcome him back for a fifth season," Erik Neander, the Rays' vice president of baseball operations, said in a statement. "He's a fiery competitor, a model teammate and a leader in the clubhouse."
Peralta's option was for $2.5 million.

Shields gets qualifying offer
Royals right-hander James Shields, as expected, is now among the Major Leaguers to be extended a qualifying offer.
Kansas City made the $15.3 million offer official on Monday. Shields now has until the 5 p.m. ET deadline on November 10 to decline or accept the offer. If he declines and opts to sign with another club, the Royals will receive a compensatory pick in the 2015 Draft.
Shields is expected to decline the offer and become one of the most sought-after free agent pitchers on the market this winter, though it does not necessarily rule out a return to Kansas City.
The 32-year-old righty helped pace the Royals to the postseason for the first time in 29 years this season. He went 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA in the regular season, but went just 1-2 with a 6.12 ERA in five playoff starts.
In two years with the Royals, Shields has won 27 games in 68 starts, with a 3.18 ERA. He's thrown at least 227 innings in both seasons.

Brewers' Ramirez exercises his half of mutual option
Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez exercised his half of his mutual option on Monday, and will remain with the club at least one more year.
The Brewers exercised their half on Friday. Ramirez will make $14 million in 2015.
The 36-year-old veteran hit .285 with 15 home runs and 66 RBIs in 133 games this year. He was named an NL All-Star for the third time in his career and the first time during his Milwaukee tenure.

The Rays announced Friday they have picked up the $7.5 million club option on utility man Ben Zobrist's contract for 2015.
This year, Zobrist will become the first player in club history to play 10 seasons with the Rays. He is the franchise career leader in doubles (229) and walks (542) and is second to Carl Crawford in games played (1,064), hits (1,016), runs scored (565) and triples (32).
"Ben has been integral to the success that the Rays have enjoyed throughout his career here," Rays VP of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said in a statement. "His skill and versatility on the field, combined with his character and selflessness, make him the ultimate team player. We are excited to continue forward with him."
Tigers expected to pick up Soria's option
The Tigers made a high-profile midseason trade for Joakim Soria last year that did not pan out, but they're hoping to see better results from him in 2015.
The team is reportedly set to pick up Soria's $7 million option, MLB.com's Jason Beck reported on Friday. The Detroit Free Press' Anthony Fenech first reported the news.
Soria, who previously closed for the Royals and the Rangers, was acquired by the Tigers from Texas on July 23 but appeared in only 13 games largely due to injury, as well as an unclear role in the Detroit bullpen.
He had a 2.70 ERA in 35 games (17 saves) with Texas before posting a 4.91 ERA with Detroit (one save). Soria was twice an All-Star with Kansas City, saving 160 games in five years.
Beck tweeted Friday that Soria is expected to handle the 8th inning duties with free agent Joba Chamberlain gone and Bruce Rondon hopefully back from Tommy John surgery. Joe Nathan will be back, and expected to close.

Brewers pick up Gallardo's option, decline Weeks'
According to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy, the Brewers have exercised the 2015 club option on starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo's contract.
Gallardo will make $13 million during the 2015 season and be a free agent thereafter.
The 28-year-old right-hander made 32 starts for the Brewers this season, going 8-11 with a 3.51 ERA. He threw 192 1/3 innings, and has thrown at least 180 in every season for Milwaukee since 2009.
Also as expected, team has declined the club option on longtime second baseman Rickie Weeks. The 2003 first-round draft pick, who hit .274 with eight homers and 29 RBIs in 121 games this season, also had a contract option based on plate appearances that he did not reach.

Yankees trade for Prado
The Yankees have landed another piece at the Trade Deadline, acquiring Martin Prado from the D-backs.
The utility man was an All-Star in 2010 with the Braves before he was dealt in January 2013 in the deal that sent Justin Upton to Atlanta. Over two seasons with the D-backs, Prado has hit .278 with 19 homers and 124 RBIs.
The D-backs will receive power-hitting catching prospect Peter O'Brien, along with a player to be named later or cash considerations, in the deal. O'Brien is considered by MLB.com's Prospect Watch to be the team's No. 9 overall prospect, and has spent this season between High-A Tampa and Double-A Trenton.
MLB.com's Steve Gilbert also reported Arizona will not be including any cash in the deal for Prado's contract.

Tigers land Price in 3-way deal with M's, Rays
Just when it looked like Thursday's Non-Waiver Trade Deadline was going to come and go without Dave Dombrowski and the Tigers making significant noise, they made perhaps the biggest splash of all.
The Tigers worked out a three-way agreement with the Rays and Mariners that brings four-time All-Star and 2012 Cy Young Award winner David Price to Detroit.
Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson — who was removed in the middle of the seventh inning from Detroit's game against Chicago — headed to Seattle, and Nick Franklin went to Tampa Bay. Tigers lefty Drew Smyly and 18-year-old shortstop prospect Willy Adames (ranked No. 3 in the Tigers system) went to Tampa Bay in the deal.
The Tigers are eyeing the World Series and have given themselves considerable means to get there with July trades for Joakim Soria and now Price. The ace is owed $14 million this year, is under arbitration control next season and will be a free agent after the 2015 season.
Price has spent his entire seven-year career in Tampa Bay, where he's amassed 82 wins in 175 appearances (170 starts). He owns a career 3.18 ERA and is 11-8 with a 3.11 ERA this season.
Jackson, who played five seasons with the Tigers and finished second in the 2010 Rookie of the Year voting, is a career .277 hitter with a .270 average in 99 games this season. Smyly has split time between the bullpen and rotation in his Tigers career, but pitched well as a starter this season (6-9, 3.77 ERA).
In 119 games with the Mariners, Franklin has hit .214 with 12 homers and 47 RBIs.

Cabrera to Nationals
The Nationals have made a significant move to bolster their infield by landing Asdrubal Cabrera in a trade with the Indians.
The Indians will be sending cash along with Cabrera, and will be receiving infielder Zach Walters in the deal.
Cabrera, being paid $10 million in the final year of his contract with the Tribe, was an All-Star in 2011 and 2012. He's appeared in 97 games this season, batting .246 with nine homers and 40 RBIs.
He has played only shortstop (aside from the occasional DH day) with Cleveland since 2009, when he last saw time at second base. The Nationals certainly have a bounty of infielders with All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond, Danny Espinosa, Anthony Rendon and Ryan Zimmerman (though currently injured and playing some outfield lately).
Walters has appeared in just 40 MLB games in the last two years (32 this season), batting .234, but has a .965 OPS with Triple-A Syracuse this year.

Reports: Lackey to Cardinals
The Red Sox are well on their way to dealing away a large chunk of their starting rotation Thursday, now reportedly trading John Lackey to the Cardinals just hours after Jon Lester was dealt to Oakland.
CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman had the news first, and Peter Gammons reported the Red Sox would receive Allen Craig and Joe Kelly in the deal.
Lackey, 35, has pitched 12 years in the Majors — eight for the Angels and the last four for the Red Sox — compiling a 149-114 record and a 4.02 ERA. He was an All-Star in 2007.
Boston has now traded away three of its starters who pitched in the World Series last year — Lester, Lackey and Jake Peavy.

Credit Suisse overweight on India, bets on cyclicals
Reuters Market Eye - Credit Suisse says "overweight" on India, noting return on equity in the country could be at an "inflection point" after three consecutive months of upgrades in consensus earnings-per-share (EPS) forecasts.
Cyclicals could continue to outperform defensive stocks, adds the investment bank.
"We believe valuations, EPS revision trends, and rises in US bond yields and the ISM (Institute for Supply Management) suggest cyclicals could have further to outperform," Credit Suisse says in the report dated Thursday.
Its top picks in Asia ex-Japan portfolio include HCL Technologies Ltd (HCLT.NS), Wipro Ltd (WIPR.NS), Tata Motors Ltd (TAMO.NS), Reliance Industries Ltd (RELI.NS), Sesa Sterlite Ltd (SESA.NS) and Cairn India Ltd (CAIL.NS).

When her son was killed in a car crash, a Bosque Farms woman had one lasting connection to him -- his two horses.
But one day in January, the horses her son loved were taken from her, too.
"He always liked animals, and that was a part of him we wanted to keep," Dolores Trujillo said.
There is not much on Trujillo's little farm that does not remind her of her son, Yuri.
"We still have his car, also," she said, pointing to a silver Mazda. "That's been sitting there."
Last spring Yuri was killed in a car accident. But his mom's memory of him has never strayed far from this yard.
"He didn't leave behind any children or anything, but we had the horses, you know?" Trujillo said.
Really, all the animals on Trujillo's farm belonged to Yuri.
But his two favorite horses were truly his spirit animals.
The leopard Apaloosa, and a Morgan mare are not exactly champions.
They were both rescues; both have a few lasting injuries many folks did not want to deal with, but they were special to Yuri.
"They're part of our family," Trujillo said, and that is why what happened at the end of January broke her heart.
"Somebody stole them," she said.
Trujillo took those horses to nearby Isleta Reservation land often so they could run freely and graze. Then one day in January, someone took them.
"We just are trying to appeal to the compassion of the person or people that have them," she said.
After a long month and a half of working with pueblo police, plastering her town with posters, and even offering a $1,000 reward.
So Trujillo turned to KOB, and to KOB viewers for help.
"We were hoping somebody would say something," she said. "Everyone says it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
She is hopeful with more people sifting through that haystack, her son's horses will come home.
"It'll be like they never left, you know?" she said.
Trujillo hopes maybe you can recognize her horses -- they are pretty distinct -- especially the Leopard Apaloosa -- looks a little like a Dalmatian.

E.ON profits 'to raise questions'
Related Articles
Published: 13 August 2012
One of the UK's big six energy suppliers
will leave customers "questioning" their bills after it more than
trebled its net profits, a consumer group warned today.
E.ON, which has more than five million customers in the UK, reported underlying net income for the January to June period of 3.3 billion euro (£2.6 billion) compared to around 900 million euro (£706 million) a year earlier.
While the figures were flattered by a big hit taken by the company last year relating to Germany's phasing out of nuclear energy, Consumer Focus said the haul would "reopen questions" over whether falling wholesale prices are being passed on.
The results come shortly after British Gas came under pressure to drop its prices after revealing a 23% hike in profits in the six months to June 30.
Richard Hall, Head of Energy Regulation at Consumer Focus, said: "Such a big increase, hard on the heels of British Gas profit rises, will leave customers questioning whether the price they're paying is fair."
The profit surge was also helped by a gas price settlement with Russia's Gazprom.
E.ON said it was sticking to its forecast for 2012, with net profits at 4.1 billion euro to 4.5 billion euro (£3.2 billion to £3.5 billion).
Chief executive Johannes Teyssen said: "Our solid first-half results demonstrate that we're meeting our existing challenges decisively."
The German utility giant said first-half sales rose by 23% year on year to 65.4 billion euro (£51.4 billion).
The Generation division posted lower sales, owing mainly to the absence of output from nuclear power stations in Germany that were shut down in 2011.
E.ON's UK business is smaller than it was for the equivalent period in 2011, Consumer Focus said, after it sold its Central Networks distribution networks to Western Power Distribution on April 1 last year.
Mr Hall added "Wholesale prices are now a long way from their peak and E.ON has reported greater margins based on changes in their costs. This will reopen questions on whether falls in wholesale pricing are fed through fairly and fully.
"Profitable companies are needed for our economy but customers need to know they are being charged a fair price through a competitive and transparent market."
E.ON in May reassured its customers after it pledged to keep residential energy prices on hold this year.
E.ON's promise came after British Gas owner Centrica signalled that further price hikes were on the way as its costs continued to mount.
The German utility giant confirmed that wholesale energy costs are expected to climb but said it will freeze prices for the rest of 2012 as part of a commitment to be fair and transparent.

Noqui may be an Allen swamp monkey, but he ended up with an old-fashioned human problem--needing a root canal. The problem first surfaced as a lesion on his face, but that was just the symptom. The problem was his tooth.
A big challenge was the length of the root in his tooth--extremely long by human standards. That set the Lake Superior Zoo in motion to look for not only the right specialists, but the right tools to do the job.
The Lake Superior Zoo veterinarian, Louise Beyea, brought together area veterinarian Michael Overend and endodontist (root canal expert) Kimberly Lindquist. Lindquist normally works on human patients, but said the procedure went well. However, there were some challenges. In addition to an extremely long dental root, Lindquist said, "He has a very shallow palate and a very thin, narrow jaw structure. So it was very difficult."
Beyea said the zoo is fortunate to have talented and helpful professionals in the area who are happy to lend a hand. "Luckily, over the past several years we have developed an excellent working relationship with other medical and veterinary professionals in town," Beyea said.
The zoo and its staff can handle most things that the animals send their way, but unlike the human world, dentistry for animals has not really developed its own specialty. But Overend says humans and animals can share several things, including pain. "You can't get relief from that pain, and it's chronic pain that ruins your life," he said.
When the root canal was over, Noqui came out of it great. He was soon back in the swing of things. No word yet on whether or not he plans to start flossing.

I went thirty year ago and had a great time. It is one of the few things that I remember from the 4 week trip. Does that help?
Report Abuse
I've been to Cape Reinga but with my own wheels so I cannot comment specifically on a bus tour. What I would say is that I did overnight there and it is pretty cool waking up in one of the $5 campsites and going for a run on the beach and a dip in the ocean. It is so tranquil that at 6 a.m. you can appreciate it even more because of the lack of tourists.
Report Abuse
Like hearing fro Petersale that it was a highlight to be remembered 30 years later. Still hoping for some input on a bus tour company. We will have a rental car so could drive it ourselves but prefer leaving the driving to someone else since we will be doing a lot of that later on.
Report Abuse
I went with Harrison's of Kaitai about 5 years ago. It was excellent.
I had inquired about tours to Cape Reinga at the I-Site office in Paihia a few days earlier. The guy there indicated they are all the same and gave me some brochures, but pointed out that Harrison's is half the price of the others (presumably because you have to get to Kaitai) and includes lunch. My recollection of the brochures is that Harrison's also go to a couple of places the others don't. And you can stop at Mangonui on the way back for the famous fish and chips.
I had to leave Paihia about 7am to get to Kaitai in time, but it was a delightful scenic drive in the atmospheric dawn (this was in winter). There was only me and two others signed up for that day, so we used a Toyota Land Cruiser instead of a bus, with an excellent Maori driver/guide. When I booked (at the I-Site office) I had been the only one and I asked what would happen if no-one else signed up; they said they'd put me on another bus (presumably from another company).
It was a really good day out, driving north up the road, and back along 90 mile beach (which we got to by driving down a river). We stopped at several interesting places along the way, and had a good packed lunch in a pleasant park near Cape Reinga. I'd do it again and recommend it. Of course, it might be different in summer, with lots of people in a big bus.
Report Abuse
Thanks someotherguy. I had back-burnered booking the trip and thank you for your input. I was looking at Harrison's and saw the price was a lot cheaper and worried why that was the case so glad to get your input. I think we will go ahead and book with them.

Winter doesn't officially begin until Dec. 21, but it has certainly felt like winter arrived with the deep cold we've experienced this week. Ice has formed on many District lakes, and anglers should remember that no ice should be considered completely safe ice. All ice activities in DuPage forest preserves are done at the visitor's own risk, and at least four inches of clear ice are recommended. Anglers should check for safety as they move around since ice conditions vary across a body of water. Some signs of unsafe ice include cracks, ridges or faults in the ice, gray or black ice, areas of open water, ice that looks rotten or porous, and objects protruding from the ice. Please also note that due to fluctuating water levels, ice activities are never allowed at Spring Creek Reservoir.
Even in chilly weather, there are still plenty of ways to stay active outdoors. There are still three Forest Fitness Walk programs left for 2014. See the schedule here, or call 630-850-8110 to register. And, look ahead to Volunteer Restoration Workdays as well. This time of year, volunteers help remove invasive brush. Workdays are scheduled on Dec. 6 and 13 at several locations. Learn more about volunteering here, or call 630-933-7681 to register.
It's been a pretty quiet week for animal sightings, but we have had a few notable visitors. Flocks of dark-eyed juncos have been seen at several locations, including at Danada near the headquarters building. A naturalist at Fullersburg Woods reported a yellow-bellied sapsucker in the woods near the staff offices. At Mayslake, a naturalist went through the unusual experience of seeing an American mink climb up a tree when it saw him. Though considered a common species, you'll probably need to spend a bit of time around a wetland area before seeing one. They are fierce hunters and go after fish, frogs, crayfish and even small mammals including cottontail rabbits.
This week's snapshot is of a dark eyed junco, a common winter visitor the size of a sparrow. The arrival of these charming round birds at feeders and in the forests in winter is much heralded at the start of the snowy season. They form large flocks, sometimes with other species, and eat seeds and berries. Juncos generally start their migration back to their summer breeding grounds in Canada and Alaska in mid-March, but a few may stay in the area until as late as May.

Our prescription burn crews got off to a good start in the past two weeks, but the cold weather that has settled in put a pause on the season now. Several weather conditions impact the safety of a burn. Too much wind is a concern and could make a fire difficult to manage. The ground must be dry so that the burn is effective. And, air temperature must be above freezing so that water pumps work well. So when the weather is better for burns, watch for our crews to return to the task.
And with that cold weather settled in, visitors should take some safety precautions when enjoying the outdoors. Dressing in warm layers and staying dry offers the best protection from hypothermia. An outer layer that blocks wind and moisture, an insulating inner layer that retains heat and a base layer that wicks away perspiration is the ideal combination. Wool, silk and synthetic fleece retain body heat better than cotton for winter clothing. Waterproof boots, thick socks, a hat and gloves or mittens help to keep extremities warm. And, be cautious around any ice forming on lakes and ponds. This early in the season it will be very thin and unable to support any weight.
Recent fishing reports include a 16-inch northern pike and a few walleye caught at Silver Lake at Blackwell. A few mute swans stopped by Silver Lake recently, too. Red-tailed hawks have been seen at Blackwell and a few other locations. Rangers also report a few northern cardinals at Springbrook Prairie and several deer, a group of does with a buck, seen near the picnic area at McDowell Grove.
This week's snapshot is of a bald eagle. A visitor to Herrick Lake sent in a report of seeing one of these large raptors perched in a tree near the lake this week. The bird pictured was photographed by a District staff member on the West Branch of the DuPage River at Blackwell a couple seasons ago. Though they once were only visible along large rivers such as the Mississippi, in recent years they've been frequent visitors to the Des Plaines River near Waterfall Glen and have been spotted at several other forest preserves. Winter is a good time to watch for them as they search for food along open water.
November is a time when fall winds to a close and winter sets in, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to see outdoors. Some of the area's cold-blooded animals are heading to hibernate. Toads dig down in the ground, as deep as three feet, to find moist surroundings and protection from the coldest of temperatures. Many of our native species of turtles spend the winter at the bottom of a lake, pond or river. There they are insulated from the coldest above-ground temperatures and can absorb oxygen from the water surrounding them.
This time of year trail users may also see a few snakes basking in sunny spots. They are also headed to secluded areas for winter, often underground burrows called "hibernacula." These locations may be small spaces under large rocks or fallen logs or larger spaces where many snakes gather together underground to share warmth. These burrows may be dug near the foundations of buildings so the animals can take advantage of the warmth radiating from the heated structures.
Another creature that visitors may see on the move to seek shelter is the wooly bear caterpillar. These caterpillars hatch from eggs in fall and spend the season eating many varieties of plants. They spend winter curled up in a sheltered spot, perhaps under a litter of fallen leaves. In spring they begin to eat again and spin cocoons to pupate. They emerge as Isabella tiger moths.
At Willowbrook Wildlife Center, some of the resident animals are getting ready for the cold season. The woodchuck has been gathering leaves and twigs to create his preferred nest inside a structure in his enclosure. And the foxes' coats are growing think and fluffy for warmth.
November can be an active time for our crews carrying out prescription burns. Unlike a wildfire, a prescription burn is a deliberately set, controlled, natural-resource-management tool that our crews have used for over 25 years. These fires not only remove invasive, exotic plants but also break down organic materials, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. Prescription fires generally take place in spring before the growing season starts and in fall when plants have died back for the year and are dry enough to burn well. Burn days aren't scheduled in advance because crews must take in to consideration safety factors such as wind conditions, but crews are ready to go on any day that the weather would be favorable.
This week's snapshot is of a short-eared owl. Winter is a great time to watch for this grassland hunter at locations such as Danada, Springbrook Prairie and Pratt's Wayne Woods as individuals from the north spend the season in our relatively warmer area. Short-eared owls may be active during day or night but bird-watchers are most likely to see them as they search for food around dawn and dusk. The species swoops low to the ground to listen for small mammals to catch.
Fall and winter are great times to look for hawks perched in trees since the absence of leaves makes them easier to see.
This week brings a farewell to fall colors on trees for the most part. There are still some oaks with rich russet leaves and maples showing golden tones. The windy and cold weather predicted for the weekend may make quick work of those leaves, though. Sumac plants have bright red leaves on display at several locations including McDowell Grove and Herrick Lake.
A trip through a prairie will reveal wonderful displays of colors among the grasses. Little bluestem has turned its fall red, and prairie cord grass has turned bright yellow. Indian grass and big bluestem are filling in with orange hues as well as some beautiful blends of paler colors. Good places for prairie grasses are Springbrook Prairie, Danada, West Chicago Prairie, the north portion of Churchill Woods and the Back 40 nature area at Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
The relatively wet and warm fall we've had up until now has been great for fall mushrooms. Hen of the woods and elm oysters have produced beautiful displays. Both have been seen in recent weeks at Fullersburg Woods. Elm oysters grow on box elder trees and often have their white stems topped with light-colored round caps appear near the site of wounds on the tree, such as a break in the bark where a branch has broken off. Hen of the woods grows low to the ground near the base of oak trees in clusters that may reach 3 feet wide. Its appearance blends in with surrounding leaf litter and also resembles the ruffled feathers of a hen.
Recent bird sightings include a sure sign that winter is on its way, dark-eyed juncos have been noted by a few staff members. Rangers have seen red-tailed hawks perching in trees at several locations and noted a red bellied woodpecker near the picnic area at Warrenville Grove. Willowbrook Wildlife Center has taken in several American bitterns recently and admitted a young trumpeter swan brought in by volunteers with Chicago Bird Collision Monitors.
This week's snapshot is a tree squirrel. These animals are busy stockpiling food to eat throughout winter. They dig many small stores, a familiar behavior to anyone who has watched squirrels for any length of time. The scatter placement of smaller caches makes it less likely for everything to be stolen but takes a lot of work to maintain. Squirrels have excellent memories to find their hidden caches – one animal may make thousands of caches in a season! Thanks to preserve visitor Eric Schwister for sharing the photo.

Honda Logistics subsidiary Midwest Express expanding in Ohio, adding 50 jobs

Midwest Express Inc. plans to expand its distribution and logistics complex in East Liberty and add 50 jobs to better serve Honda of America Manufacturing Inc.'s growing operation in Ohio.
The company, a subsidiary of Honda Logistics Inc., will add a new Regional Logistics Center at its campus in East Liberty and shift existing work to a new 100,000-square-foot building expected to be completed in September.
The company did not disclose the cost of the projects.
The new Regional Logistics Center is intended to improve its process of receiving automotive parts from Japan and shipping them to Honda plants in Marysville, East Liberty, Anna and Russells Point, spokesman Brian Balzer said. It will include building upgrades, material handling equipment and a new computer system.
The project was awarded a 10-year, 50 percent tax abatement from Logan County.
MEI brings in about 30,000 containers per day of engine, transmission and interior and exterior parts, as well as fasteners and clips to its 1.1 million-square-foot campus, Balzer said. The 50 jobs will be added around November and are primarily material-handling functions.
Evan Weese covers funding and capital for Columbus Business First.
