Hi everyone

|Tue, 08-27-2013 - 10:36pm
Sorry I haven't been around much in the last year but a lot has been happening here.
Our granddaughter came from Sweden to live with us in January and her parents followed in May. It's stressful having so many people in the house and our diet is suffering.
I had knee replacement on August 1 and I'm slowly healing. Walking with a cane now and able to lift my leg on my own without pain but it's feeling swollen and achy. A week after surgery I was in the ER with an infection in the incision but an IV of antibiotics and 10 days of oral and I'm back on the mend. Doc said we caught it early and it didn't get into the deep tissue or to the bone. I also had a painful red circle on my shin that the homecare nurs and PT were concerned about so the ER did an ultrasound and finally diagnosed it as cellulitis.
Been keeping my blood sugars between 90-110 to help healing since I know the higher glucose levels will slow everything down.
PT has been coming to the house 3 times a week and we're now walking outside about 2-3 blocks each time so that's good.
How's everyone here doing?
|Wed, 08-28-2013 - 1:38pm
This board has been very quiet, probably due to the problems getting on and also problems posting messages. I have given up several times trying to post when board alleges my comments violate profanity rules. Either my dog's name or the name I post under are considered unacceptable.
For that reason won't put either in this post.
As for me my glucose numbers have stayed really good. Other numbers not so much so. Doing what I can and trying to get back on since i fell off the turnip truck(exercise) again!!
Sounds like you are doing very well considering everything you have to deal with!! Glad to hear that!!
|Mon, 09-02-2013 - 1:56am
Hi Dee,
Glad to see you around here. It looks like you are doing better. I had some minor surgery done and I wasn't supposed to do anything strenuous afterwards so I didn't go to the gym. Finally got my stitches out and that very day I can down with a terrible sore throat which has now landed in my chest. On Tuesday it will be three weeks since I was last at the gym. I am hoping that I can get back any day if I finally feel better. I haven't been this sick since before my heart surgery. Quite frustrating.
How long do you think your family is going to be staying with you? I am glad that you have been able to keep your blood sugar down where it belongs. I am also glad they caught the infection early but you understand all this too well. Just keep walking as best you can and soon you will be walking without much pain or your cane.
Please let us know how you are progressing.
|Tue, 09-03-2013 - 7:09pm
Hope you're better and able to get to the gym soon Maryfrancis.
Last week the therapist said I didn't need to use the cane around the house but to keep it close if I go out. Since then I haven't gone anywhere but the cane is where I left it, on the floor next to my bed. I had a migraine for 2 days so haven't done anything but stay in bed with ice packs on my head and today the therapist came out and we walked outside without the cane. He commented that there's a lag with my right leg when walking (surgery was on my left). This means my left leg is working wonderfully.
Another therapist is coming on Friday to release me and get an order for outpatient therapy. I just have to decide where I want to go for that. There's a stand alone therapy center I went to before that's closest to the house than the one in the docs office. There's also one in both hospitals (we live about half way between the 2). I'm leaning toward the stand alone center. The therapist was slow to recommend one over the other but did say he felt I'd get more individualized care or attention at a stand alone center.
Family will probably be here a couple of years. Son-in-law is finishing his GED classes and needs to go for the test. Stepdaughter just got a job at Walmart. It's part time right now but at least it's an income. We had her apply for food stamps and if she can take over most of the grocery shopping that will free up money to pay the excess in utilities that they're causing. We only asked that they pay the excess as well as their car insurance. Right now we're paying for Joslynn's school breakfast and lunches but with her mom being on food stamps she qualifies for free meals. She still needs $1 a day for a snack.

I would be interested in some desert ironwood and maybe some ocotillo.
Missed out on my annual NM pronghorn hunt last year.
In return, I can offer:
Oak (many varieties)
Cedar Elm
Osage Orange
Black Walnut (limited quantities)
Some others too.
On insect infestations, Loogaroo suggested I microwave the wood before I sent it to him, if I was concerned with transporting varmints. So I did that before popping it into the mail. Seems like a safe measure.
I love how this is working out.
A world without string is chaos.
Yup, It bit me. MEDIC!
Tracker Pack #28
I could use osage orange, but I am picky.....
I make primative bows and certain characteristics are necessary.
1. the length of the stave (pie shaped split from a log) typically needs to be 70"
2. Harvested in the winter so the water content is low.
3. The grain cannot be twisted like a barbershop pole (which can be difficult to find in the narly osage)
4. Would like the growth rings to be as thick as possible (greater than 1/8 inch)
while I am at it......
optional 5. delivered by a curvy blond bearing a cold adult beverage.
If you can provide osage with items 1-4 , let me know. I can provide most other hardwoods, but possibly a better trade would be a completed bow, a bow partially done so you could finish yourself, or possibly attendance at a class I usually put on each year near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where I teach a bunch of bushcrafters how to make primative bows and arrows.
I'm looking for some birch. Probably a piece 8 or 9 inches long....big enough for a spoon. I have a big supply of cherry, walnut, oak...some hickory, pine, tulip poplar, maple.... They aren't logs or green wood. I'm a woodworker and my Father has a saw mill so it should all be pretty dry and nice wood. I can make scales for handles if you want.
I just want some birch.

Tell Obama To 'Just Say No' to JoeJanuary 6, 2013
A White House online petition telling Obama to listen to the voters of Colorado and Washington about the future of cannabis legalization, not the famously anti-cannabis/pro drug war architect Vice President Joe Biden, only needs 7,000 more signatures to be brought to the president's attention. The signatures are needed by Wednesday, January 9.
If you've not yet taken a moment to let the White House know that you too support the voters of Colorado and Washington, please sign the online petition to put it over the top, and get the White House on record to not interfere with the will of voters in states who no longer support cannabis prohibition and want it legalized and taxed.
2012: The Year In Review — NORML's Top 10 Events That Shaped Marijuana PolicyDecember 24, 2012
#1 Colorado and Washington Vote To Legalize Marijuana
Voters in Colorado and Washington made history by approving ballot measures allowing for the personal possession and consumption of cannabis by adults. Washington's law, which removes criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis for personal use (as well as the possession of up to 16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, and 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form), took effect on December 6. Colorado's law, which allows for the legal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and/or the cultivation of up to six cannabis plants in private by those persons age 21 and over, took effect on December 10. Regulators in both states are now in the process of drafting rules to allow for state-licensed proprietors to commercially produce and sell cannabis.
#2 Most Americans Favor Legalization, Want The Feds To Butt Out
A majority of Americans support legalizing the use of cannabis by adults, according to national polls by Public Policy Polling, Angus Reid, Quinnipiac University, and others. A record high 83 percent of US citizens favor allowing doctors to authorize specified amounts of marijuana for patients suffering from serious illnesses. And nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose federal interference in state laws that allow for legal marijuana use by adults.
#3 Connecticut, Massachusetts Legalize Cannabis Therapy
Connecticut and Massachusetts became the 17th and 18th states to allow for the use of cannabis when recommended by a physician. Connecticut lawmakers in May approved Public Act 12-55, An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana. The new law took effect on October 1. On Election Day, 63 percent of Massachusetts voters approved Question 3, eliminating statewide criminal and civil penalties related to the possession and use of up to a 60-day supply of cannabis by qualified patients. The law takes effect on January 1, 2013.
#4 Schedule I Prohibitive Status For Pot "Untenable," Scientists Say
The classification of cannabis and its organic compounds as Schedule I prohibited substances under federal law is scientifically indefensible, according to a review published online in May in The Open Neurology Journal. Investigators at the University of California at San Diego and the University of California, Davis reviewed the results of several recent clinical trials assessing the safety and efficacy of inhaled or vaporized cannabis. They concluded: "Based on evidence currently available the Schedule I classification is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking."
#5 Marijuana Arrests Decline, But Still Total Half Of All Illicit Drug Violations
Police made 757,969 arrests in 2011 for marijuana-related offenses, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's annual Uniform Crime Report. The total marked a decline from previous years. Of those charged in 2011 with marijuana law violations, 663,032 (86 percent) were arrested for marijuana offenses involving possession only. According to the report, approximately 43 percent of all drug violations in 2011 were for cannabis possession.
#6 Long-Term Cannabis Exposure Not Associated With Adverse Lung Function
Exposure to moderate levels of cannabis smoke, even over the long-term, is not associated with adverse effects on pulmonary function, according to clinical trial data published in January in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Investigators at the University of California, San Francisco analyzed the association between marijuana exposure and pulmonary function over a 20-year period in a cohort of 5,115 men and women in four US cities. They concluded: "With up to 7 joint-years of lifetime exposure (e.g., 1 joint/d for 7 years or 1 joint/wk for 49 years), we found no evidence that increasing exposure to marijuana adversely affects pulmonary function. … Our findings suggest that occasional use of marijuana … may not be associated with adverse consequences on pulmonary function."
#7 Cannabis Use Associated With Decreased Prevalence Of Diabetes
Adults with a history of marijuana use have a lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes and possess a lower risk of contracting the disease than do those with no history of cannabis consumption, according to clinical trial data published in the British Medical Journal. Investigators at the University of California, Los Angeles assessed the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and marijuana use among adults aged 20 to 59 in a nationally representative sample of the US population of 10,896 adults. Investigators concluded, "Our analysis of adults aged 20-59 years … Showed that participants who used marijuana had a lower prevalence of DM and lower odds of DM relative to non-marijuana users."
#8 Medical Cannabis Dispensaries Not Associated With Neighborhood Crime
The establishment of medical cannabis dispensaries does not adversely impact local crime rates, according to a federally funded study published in the July issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Researchers reported: "There were no observed cross-sectional associations between the density of medical marijuana dispensaries and either violent or property crime rates in this study."
#9 Rhode Island Becomes The 15th State To Decriminalize Pot Possession Penalties
Governor Lincoln Chafee signed legislation into law in June amending marijuana possession penalties for those age 18 or older from a criminal misdemeanor (punishable by one year in jail and a $500 maximum fine) to a non-arrestable civil offense — punishable by a $150 fine, no jail time, and no criminal record. The decriminalization law takes effect on April 1, 2013.
#10 Cannabis Reduces Symptoms In Patients With Treatment-Resistant MS
Cannabis inhalation mitigates spasticity and pain in patients with treatment-resistant multiple sclerosis (MS), according to clinical trial data published online in May in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association. Investigators at the University of California, San Diego assessed the use of inhaled cannabis versus placebo in 30 patients with MS who were unresponsive to conventional treatments. "Smoked cannabis was superior to placebo in symptom and pain reduction in patients with treatment-resistant spasticity," authors concluded.
Alternet: "Will Obama Go After Legal Pot In Washington And Colorado?"December 19, 2012
It has been nearly seven weeks since voters in Colorado and Washington made history, enacting at the ballot box unprecedented measures legalizing the adult possession on cannabis. Yet during this time, federal officials have largely remained silent.
One week ago, US Attorney General Eric Holder cryptically told Bloomberg News that the administration will formally announce its intentions "relatively soon," but added no further details. Most recently, on Friday, President Obama told ABC News' Barbara Walters: "It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal. … We've got bigger fish to fry." Of course, federal officials do not target minor marijuana offenders now — so the President's statement provides little clarity as to what actions the Administration may take going forward as Colorado and Washington begin implementing broader regulatory reforms, including measures to license proprietors to commercially produce and sell cannabis to adults.
Today, in Alternet.org, I speculate as to what actions the Administration may take — and what actions they may not take — in the coming weeks as state lawmakers work toward the full implementation of Colorado and Washington's newly enacted marijuana laws. An excerpt from this commentary appears below.
Will Obama Go After Legal Pot in Washington and Colorado?
via Alternet.org
With public opinion firmly behind the will of the voters, is it realistic to think that the Obama Justice Department will take action to try and nullify Colorado and Washington's legalization laws? It's possible, but it may not be as likely as some think.
For starters, states are not mandated under the US Controlled Substances Act to criminalize marijuana or to arrest and prosecute adult cannabis consumers and the federal government cannot compel prosecutors in Colorado or Washington to do so. The Justice Department and the US Drug Enforcement Administration could, theoretically, choose to selectively prosecute those individuals in Colorado and Washington who possess or grow quantities of plant that are compliant with state law. But such a scenario is hardly plausible. The federal government lacks the manpower and the public support – and therefore the political will – to engage in such behavior and this reality is unlikely to change any time soon. As acknowledged by former congressman and ex-DEA director Asa Hutchinson at a recent CATO Institute forum on the subject, the federal government never has prosecuted people for possessing an ounce of marijuana and it is not about to start doing so now.
By contrast, the Obama administration may attempt to actively prohibit states from allowing for the above-ground, licensed production and sale of cannabis by authorized proprietors. Justice Department officials could theoretically do so by either bringing a legal challenge against the states, by threatening local officials, or by proposing to withhold federal funding. But none of these actions are assured. Here's why.
To date, the Obama administration has done little to interfere with the state-approved production and licensed distribution of medical marijuana in those states that explicitly license and regulate this activity — specifically in Arizona, Colorado, Maine, New Jersey, and New Mexico. (In recent days, some of the first state-approved dispensaries opened for business in Arizona and New Jersey. In coming months, licensed dispensaries are also anticipated to open their doors to the public in Vermont as well as the District of Columbia. **AUTHOR'S NOTE: By contrast, the Justice Department has taken actions to aggressively close operations in California, Oregon, Montana, and Washington — though none of these states explicitly license dispensaries.**) In Colorado – where the state has licensed several hundreds of cannabis dispensaries and oversees "seed to sale" regulations governing the plant's production and distribution – federal officials have yet to either file suit or threaten any of the state regulators who oversee the program. In response to a lawsuit filed in 2011 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who sought to invalidate the state's 2010 medical cannabis law, lawyers for the federal government affirmed that the administration had never engaged in such strong-arm tactics and did not intend to.
The federal judge in the case agreed. She rejected Gov. Brewer's legal arguments that the operation of state-approved medical marijuana dispensaries was preempted by federal law or put state employees at risk for federal prosecution, determining "[T]he Complaint does not detail any history of prosecution of state employees for participation in state medical marijuana licensing schemes [and] fails to establish that Plaintiffs are subject to a genuine threat of imminent prosecution and consequently, the Complaint does not meet the constitutional requirements for ripeness."
A Maricopa County (AZ) Superior Court ruling from earlier this month further affirms that states possess the legal authority to regulate the legal distribution of cannabis, at least in some specific instances, without running afoul of federal anti-drug laws. In the case before the Court, White Mountain Health Center, Inc. v. Maricopa County, Judge Michael Gordon determined that the federal Controlled Substances Act did not preempt Arizona's efforts to authorize "the local cultivation, sale, and use, of medical marijuana." Writing for the Court, Judge Gordon declared that nothing in Arizona's law circumvents federal law since Justice Department officials could still continue to locally enforce the Controlled Substances Act. In fact, Judge Gordon suggested that the new law "affirmatively provides a roadmap for federal enforcement of the CSA, if they so wished to" since the statute requires patients and proprietors to register their activities with the state. He concluded: "The Court rejects … arguments that the [law] violates public policy simply because marijuana use and possession violate federal law. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation permitting the use of marijuana in whole or in part. The Court will not rule that Arizona, having sided with the ever-growing minority of States, and having limited it to medical use, has violated public policy."
Some legal experts, including law professor Robert Mikos of Vanderbilt University Law School, suggest an additional legal theory as to why Colorado and Washington's proposed regulatory schemes may not be subject to federal preemption. Speaking at a recent CATO Institute sponsored forum, Mikos suggested that the newly enacted state legalization laws do not violate the spirit or the intent of the Controlled Substances Act because the federal law exists for the expressed purpose of limiting the consumption of certain substances by the public, particularly young people. One can argue that the proposed statewide regulatory schemes in Colorado and Washington – which impose age restrictions for buyers and limit sellers to those authorized by the state – are intended to serve a similar purpose. Further, the proposed state programs, "do not stop federal authorities from sanctioning registrants." Notably, Superior Court Judge Gordon specifically highlighted these arguments in his decision to uphold Arizona's law and to reject claims that it positively conflicted with federal law.
"No one can argue that the federal government's ability to enforce the CSA is impaired to the slightest degree [by Arizona's medical marijuana law]," he opined. "Instead of frustrating the CSA's purpose, it is sensible to argue that the [law] furthers the CSA's objectives in combating drug abuse and the illegitimate trafficking of controlled substances."

President Obama Breaks His Silence on Marijuana Legalization: We've Got Bigger Fish to Fry Than Cannabis UsersDecember 14, 2012
Breaking his silence on the topic of marijuana legalization since two states approved ballot initiatives to regulate cannabis, President Barack Obama addressed the issue in an interview with Barbara Walters this week.
While the administration's broader policy is still being developed, the president stated that arresting recreational users in these states would not be a priority.
"We've got bigger fish to fry. It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal. – President Obama
The president also clarified that he personally is not in favor of leglization, but that it is a more complex issue than his own view on it:
"This is a tough problem, because Congress has not yet changed the law. I head up the executive branch; we're supposed to be carrying out laws. And so what we're going to need to have is a conversation about, how do you reconcile a federal law that still says marijuana is a federal offense and state laws that say that it's legal?" – President Obama
One line stands out as particularly interesting, during his answer he says:
"What I think is, that at this point, in Washington and Colorado, you've seen the voters speak on this issue. – President Obama
This is a great start and an encouraging sign that the federal government doesn't intend to ramp up its focus on individual users. Though considering it is extremely rare for the federal government to handle possession cases (only a few percent of annual arrests are conducted by the federal government), and that this is the same stance he took on medical cannabis before raiding more dispensaries than his predecessor, his administration's broader policy will be the one to watch and according to his Attorney General Holder that pronouncement may come soon. Speaking yesterday in Boston, Attorney General Holder stated that:
"There is a tension between federal law and these state laws. I would expect the policy pronouncement that we're going to make will be done relatively soon." – Attorney General Eric Holder
UPDATE: Politico has now posted President Obama's interview for viewing. Check it out below.
Gallup: Most Americans Want The Federal Government To Butt Out Of State Marijuana LawsDecember 11, 2012
Sixty-four percent of Americans oppose federal interference in state laws that allow for the legal use of the substance by adults, according to a random sampling of 1,015 adults by Gallup.
On Election Day, voters in Colorado and Washington approved measures allowing for the personal use of cannabis by those age 21 and older. Both of those state laws took effect in recent days.
According to Gallup, 64 percent of respondents do not believe that the federal government "should take steps to enforce federal anti-marijuana laws in those states." Only 34 percent of respondents agree that the federal government should take actions to interfere with the implementation of these laws.
Gallup also reported that more than four out of ten respondents who oppose legalizing cannabis believe that the Administration should nonetheless respect state laws allowing for its legal possession, use, and sale.
The poll further reported that Americans are evenly divided on whether or not cannabis ought to be legal. Forty-eight percent of respondents endorse marijuana legalization while 50 percent of respondents oppose it — an increase in opposition of four percent since 2011.
Support for legalization was highest among those age 18 to 29 (60 percent) and weakest among those over age 65 (36 percent). Half of self-identified Independent voters back legalization, as do 61 percent of Democrats. By contrast, only 33 percent of Republican voters support legalization.
The Gallup findings regarding legalization are lower than those reported by other polls, including surveys by Public Policy Polling (58 percent support for legalizing cannabis), Angus Reid (54 percent), and Quinnipiac University (51 percent).

A Brilliant Law Professor???
By Aaron Cantor USAF (ret)
Someone should tell Jay Carney to stop calling his boss a Constitutional Law Professor (you look silly enough Jay just trying to defend this jackass every day).
A senior lecturer is one thing. A fully ranked law professor is another. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, "Obama did NOT 'hold the title' of a University of Chicago law school professor". Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago.
The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school, but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.
The real truth is that Barack Obama was merely an 'instructor' at Chicago Law School, not a professor. Commonly, instructors are non-tenure-track teachers hired by colleges and universities to teach certain courses for a salary that is well below that of Associate Professors or full Professors.
According to a special report issued by 'the Blogging Professor,' the Chicago Law School faculty hated Obama. The report states that Obama was unqualified, that he was never a 'constitutional professor and scholar,' and that he never served as editor of the Harvard Law Review while a student at the school.
In the hierarchy of higher education, the status of instructors is below that of associate professors and professors because they lack the credentials.
In fact, it can be safely concluded that the claims of Barack Obama concerning his educational credentials and work history in higher education are a complete sham. The President of the United States is a complete fraud.
One would think that a brilliant Law Professor would know the difference between the words Corps and Corpse (referring back to a speech when he didn't even know how to pronounce the military designation of Corpsman (the P and the S are silent Shmuckenputz).
The professors at Chicago Law reportedly hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stone. According to one professor, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).
Thus, the question arises, was the claim that Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review a 'put-up job' as well, allowing the student to claim he held this prestigious position without having the qualifications or meeting the requirements of holding that position? And why?
"He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger-Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal."
By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
A brilliant Law Professor would know that YA THINK?
We need to get rid of this posturing phony NOW!

I've been disseminating this story about the false credentialing of our President as a Professor of Constitutional Law to anyone who will listen. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal after, they too, used this tile to describe Obama in the aftermath of his attack and threat to the Supreme Court NOT to overturn Obamacare (he now has adopted the derogatory term). Wes Pruden agrees with you ( former editor of the Washington Times).

barry sotoro is a fake and a fraud-a plus for extreme socialists and radicals that want to destroy America. Electing this phoney shows wealthy 'new world order folks' really control our elections; most Americans are too busy watching dancing with the stars(nearly nude white women,black men) and thus prove they are really too dumb to breathe, let alone vote. Our great country has a long way before getting back to some semblance of normal- won't happen with this muslim,soros gang in charge.God help America! Can't wait for 'the change' AMERICANS can believe in!

Seventy percent of smokers want to quit, according to the American Cancer Society. Some smokers just need a little extra motivation.
Everyone knows the big picture: Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death. Quitting now decreases your long-term risk of lung cancer, heart attack and stroke. But here's a more immediate motivation booster: Some health benefits of giving up the habit are immediate and significant—just 20 minutes after quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drop. Here are a few more incentives...

Corporations Advise School Closings, While Private Charters Suck Public Schools Away
Photo Credit: Flickr.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This article has been updated.
On Dec. 13, 2012, Philadelphia became the latest major American city to recommend sweeping school closures for the next academic year. Under this new proposal, a total of 37, or about 16 percent, of the district's 237 public schools will be shuttered this June. That's down from the 40 schools the city designated for closure back in May, but still represents an unprecedented move in Philadelphia's history. The School Commission Reform, an outside body appointed to govern Philadelphia schools, has scheduled its final vote for March 7.
Overall, 44 schools will be affected by the shakeup: Of the 37 to be closed, three will relocate by merging with other Philadelphia schools. Beyond this, seven other schools will face major restructuring – i.e., though these school programs will remain intact, the schools themselves will be uprooted and moved to other buildings, merged with other schools, and/or forced to add or subtract grade levels. About 15,000 students will be affected by the proposed changes. And though official numbers have not been released, hundreds of teacher and staff layoffs are also expected.
There is nothing democratic about how this happened to the City of Brotherly Love. Though officials gave lip service to the idea of "parental empowerment" through " school choice," in the end, parents had no role in deciding what policies would be enforced. Everything was outsourced. As a Pew study reports, the city consulted with "URS Corp., a California-based engineering design firm, and DeJong-Richter, an Ohio-based company that specializes in school-closing issues" to come to its final consensus. Though town hall meetings were organized between 2010 and 2012 to hear citizen concerns, the closures, relocations and reconfigurations were ultimately decided by the consulting firms, with no serious input from locals.
This is how DeJong describes its contributions to the situation in Philadelphia on its Web site:
DeJong-Richter is assisting the District in creating a plan for more efficient use of facilities that better align demographics and curriculum. The School District of Philadelphia, like many urban districts across the country has experienced loss of enrollment in some regions and experienced tremendous growth in others. The long-range facilities planning process will review current and future enrollment/population trends and align this with programmatic and facility data that will lead to more efficient use of educational facilities in the District. This process will potentially engage thousands of community members in the City of Philadelphia.
Minus the jargon: The citizens of Philadelphia paid DeJong-Richter to provide consultants who studied Philadelphia school enrollment patterns, took note of low-enrollment and low test scores, and informed Philadelphia officials which school closures could save the city the most money. According to Education Week, "Officials project that the moves would save the district roughly $28 million in personnel and maintenance costs next year, with those savings recurring in future years."
What Education Week and DeJong-Richter fail to mention is that enrollment in Philadelphia's public schools is not low by happenstance. Yes, enrollment is low --about 70,000 students under capacity, by some estimates. But this is not an accidental occurrence. So where have all the children gone? Simply put, to (largely unproven) charter schools. And as more traditional public schools are closed, expect even more charters to take their place.
As is happening in virtually every major urban area in the United States, non-union charter schools are popping up across Philadelphia, and in the name of "school choice," enticing parents to pull their children from under-funded traditional schools and place them in charters instead. Though there is no evidence that charter schools are the panacea they promise to be, they continue to sprout up -- helped along by investments from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among other education reform funders. For example, in early December, just days before the proposed school closures were announced, the Gates Foundation announced new plans to award Philadelphia about $2.5 million in charter school funding – specifically targeted to help the city replace closing schools, and ostensibly, save money.

Animal Rescue Bar Debuts First Plant-Based Nutrition Bar
Grassroots Food Company To Donate Fifty Percent of All Proceeds to Animal Rescue Causes
BOCA RATON, FL – April 27, 2014 – Animal Rescue Bar, a company that makes plant-based nutrition bars for humans and encourages people to be kind to animals, announces it began sales on April 24 with the Peanut Crunch Animal Rescue Bar. The company will donate 50% of all proceeds to animal rescue organizations that save dogs, rabbits, cats, horses, monkeys, pigs, cows, chickens, pelicans, turtles, hawks, and many other animals.
Andrew Kirschner, Ed.D., Founder and CEO, said, "The goal of Animal Rescue Bar is to inspire people to show compassion for animals, to provide financial support to the organizations that rescue them, and to offer a healthy snack for people. We want to raise awareness about the institutional and individual cruelty perpetrated against animals around the globe to encourage more people to take action in their community to oppose cruelty and make humane decisions in their daily lives. Animal Rescue Bar is uniquely positioned in the $1.8 billion per year nutrition bar market as it is the only bar donating half of its proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations. We believe people will gravitate to the bar because it tastes so good and serves such a meaningful purpose."
Peanut Crunch Animal Rescue Bars are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and contain organic ingredients. The perfect snack for work or the gym, these healthy bars do not contain any oils, refined sugar, syrups, or acids typically found in other bars and yet the customer reviews have been spectacular.
About Animal Rescue Bar, Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States, said "Animal Rescue Bars are a delicious way to help fuel your body while also fueling great work to protect animals."
"Animal Rescue Bars are fantastic and they serve such a worthwhile cause," said Ingrid Newkirk, President and Co-Founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "They're a big hit in the PETA office and they are my favorite on-the-road snack!"
Animal Rescue Bars are available online and will be sold in grocery stores, gyms, drug stores, and many other locations nationwide. Customers can also submit a food product request form to request Animal Rescue Bars be sold at a location near them.

About Animal Rescue Bar

Whitehaus Quatro Alcove Farmhaus Reversible Fireclay Kitchen Sink with Drain Board
sink with drainboard
I love this sink! It looks fabulous in my new kitchen and it is exactly as expected. The bowl is huge, I was nervous about switching but I will never go back to a double bowl if I can help it! It is so easy to wash anything in this sink. The drain board is not huge but works really well for miscellaneous items, and I use a folding teak dish holder when needed, and then put it away--the result is a much cleaner, neater looking kitchen, and I hand wash a lot of my dishes. The design is beautiful, we love the drainboard and it really is one of my favorite parts of our new kithcen. So far no chips, and I've dropped a few things in the sink, so seems quite durable. Even the eventual chip won't change my thoughts on this sink--it's wonderful! Service was great--quick, free shipping and the sink came extremely well packed. Really really happy with this purchase.

Great sink
Add me to all the people who already love this sink. It's big enough to easily wash large pots, big pans, crock-pot inserts, etc., and there is also room to let a pot soak on one side while using the other side. And I love the integrated drainboard! I like to put damp or drippy stuff down on the drainboard side - you can toss a wet sponge or cloth there if you get distracted mid-cleaning, or put wet flowers down while you hunt for a vase, etc. I also stick the collander there to drain after I rinse fruits and veggies, which gets the collander out of the sink but keeps the wet drippies off the counter. The fact that the drainboard area isn't that big doesn't bother me - it's large enough for what I use it for. I really have no idea why integrated drainboards ever went out of style! As for the appearence of the sink, it's very attractive and fits nicely with the aesthetic of my old-house kitchen.

Farmhouse Sink
I bought this sink about two years ago. I look at it & use it every day and I still LOVE IT. It's beautiful and the big, deep bowl makes it easy to wash large things. I even bath my 10 pound dog in the kitchen sink now. It is very functional - why don't all kitchen sinks have drain boards???
August 11, 2013
Beautiful sink!
The sink is very attractive and becomes a focal point of the kitchen. The drainboard is on the small side , but serves its purpose. Recommend the protective rack for the bottom, but it still looks good. Price and delivery from Vintage Tub & Bath was excellent .

Kitchen sink
I absolutely love my old school kitchen sink.....it's beautiful, made in Italy, wow! I could bath a baby in it. It's just what I was looking for and I couldn't have been more pleased.. I have a vintage old school bridge faucet to go with it. It more than exceeded my expectation.

Dream Sink
The sink is great. It looks great and works great. My kitchen looks amazing. I have had it in my kitchen for about 3 months and there has been no issues. The drying area is very functional and works well for the few things we do not put in our dishwasher. Quality of the sink is great and the company is great.
May 29, 2012
Beautiful sink
The sink has surpassed our expectations. It is large, deep, and easy to clean. The drainboard is what got my attention at first, and I find it handy for setting things down there before they get washed. For me, one large sink is the way to go. I have never liked the typical double sink arrangement that you see in so many houses. This is the second replacement sink in our house (we've remodeled the kitchen twice), and by far the best. We have the white one. I use a clear mat in the bottom to help keep pans from scratching the surface. The fireclay that the sink is made out of is a very high quality product. The service from Vintage Tub was excellent and I would highly recommend your company to any of my friends,looking for special sinks or tubs.
May 25, 2012
Great Sink
I love this sink and everyone who sees it says "WOW". I wish I had it when my children were babies...large enough to bathe your babe! Its a great size, large enough to fill and wash pasta pots, wash cookie sheets and frying pans comfortably without getting water all over the kitchen. The integral drain board is very convenient for a few small items and it looks great! The sink is easy to keep clean with baking soda on a sponge. No need for any harsh cleansers. This sink was the first product I purchased in my kitchen remodel. It is located within the bay of a bay window and my new kitchen was built around it. LOVE IT!

Qualcomm, MLBAM Announce Technology Collaboration
NEW YORK, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), and MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM), the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball, today announced a multi-year engineering and technology agreement, establishing a collaborative effort to survey, plan and optimize mobile network connectivity for fans at supported MLB ballparks. In association with the program, Qualcomm has been named as an official technology partner of MLBAM, which is unique in that network engineers from QTI will be working directly with a major professional sports property to address these connectivity challenges.
As part of the agreement, an engineering team will provide in-ballpark assessment and planning for wireless access including Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G. Select ballpark reviews are underway and will continue over the next two years. QTI engineers were selected for having the technical and connectivity expertise to assess and recommend solutions. These engineers also will conduct extensive tests to ensure connectivity is optimized.
Qualcomm Incorporated and, more recently, QTI have been providing operators with consulting and network optimization services for high-density venues, such as stadiums, convention centers, and airports for more than a decade. These services have been used to help enhance connectivity at premier events like the Super Bowl, Olympics, national conventions, and NCAA championship games.
"Mobile data traffic is exploding, particularly in high-traffic areas such as Major League Baseball ballparks," said Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Qualcomm. "Qualcomm has been preparing for an astounding 1000x increase in data demand, and we are leading the charge with MLBAM to provide passionate baseball fans with access to digital content, resulting in unparalleled in-ballpark experiences."
"Collaborating with an industry leader such as Qualcomm is a critical step in understanding and executing on the engineering challenges to achieve scalable, reliable in-venue connectivity," said Joe Inzerillo, MLBAM senior vice president, content technology and chief technology officer. "Consumer demand continues its ascension as the majority of MLB.com traffic comes from mobile devices, a line our fans first crossed in July 2010. Qualcomm's experience and expertise will be a valuable resource in this process."For more information, please visit mlb.com/qualcomm.

Sources: Lakers Passed On Delonte West To Prevent Further Complications
The Los Angeles Lakers elected to pass on signing Delonte West due to concerns about how his presence would possibly further destabilize an already complicated situation, according to sources.
West was strongly considered during the Lakers' 1-6 start to December, but ultimately decided the safer option was to wait for Steve Nash to return.
Sources say the Lakers could still bring in another point guard.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Recent media coverage of Prop 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, which would permit companies to label foods made with genetically engineered (GE) crops, highlights the gulf between citizens demanding the right to know what's in our food and corporations desperate to keep the public in the dark.
Two weeks ago, while many Americans were focused on early July barbeques and fireworks, the pipeline of genetically engineered crops awaiting USDA approval suddenly swelled to bursting.
With public opposition to GE foods and crops growing by leaps and bounds (and Prop 37 — CA's ballot initiative to label GE foods — garnering unprecedented popular support), the Big 6 pesticide corporations are rushing to quickly ram a dozen new GE crops through the pipeline. Nine of them are engineered for use with toxic herbicides.
Imagine an invisible cloud of a cancer-causing weedkiller drifting slowly across your state. Well, one just blew 100 miles across California, from Merced County, nestled at the northern tip of the Central Valley, as far south as Kern County (one county stop before Los Angeles) according to farm press.
Governments are gathering in Brazil, twenty years after the historic 1992 Earth Summit where nations around the world pledged to devote themselves to ending hunger and conserving the planet's resources for future generations.
This week, governments gather once again, and food and agriculture are high on the agenda of "Rio+20." Global leaders will be discussing which way forward to feed the world amidst growing food, climate and water crises. Monsanto & Co. have geared up with slick websites and sound bytes — to the point where some have dubbed the official meeting "Greenwash +20." But the good news is that people around the world are mobilizing like never before for a new food system.
I've been hearing through the grapevine that the U.S. Department of Agriculture was startled by the public uproar over Dow AgroScience's application for approval of its controversial new GE corn, designed to be used with the infamous and highly hazardous weedkiller, 2,4-D.
By quietly opening the public comment period on December 21, 2011, the agency had apparently hoped to slide this one by without attracting public attention. Instead, a vocal and growing movement of people from all walks of life has emerged to challenge the Big 6 pesticide/biotech companies' introduction of this new generation of toxic pesticide-seed combinations.

Officials at Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital said that they'll restore ambulance service Friday after cutting it Wednesday night.
They blamed a staffing shortage for the disruption, and they said that they detoured ambulances away from the facility to ensure that it did not receive patients beyond its capabilities.
SUNY Downstate, which runs the hospital, said that it'll bring in doctors from other institutions to help out, and maintained that it's making every effort to keep up current service levels.
Residents and LICH supporters met Thursday night to discuss the latest developments.
They said that they'll keep fighting to keep the hospital open.
"So we're very hopeful that while SUNY plays the game, we come out - and we're very strong, the different groups - that we are going to win each fight," said Susan Raboy, the founder of Patients for LICH. "It's another step."
"Tens of thousands of lives depend on LICH," said Julie Semente, a registered nurse at LICH. "It's been here for 155 years. Neighborhood grew up around it. And it's going to be here to stay another 155 years. We are not backing down."
SUNY Downstate has been trying to close LICH for months, claiming that the hospital is losing millions of dollars, but a judge put closure plans on hold in June.

A complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) specifically claims that certain of Apple's iPhones, iPads, and iPods, and certain of HTC's smartphones and tablets infringe Kodak patents that relate to technology for transmitting images. Kodak also alleges that certain of HTC's smartphones infringe a patent that covers technology related to a method for previewing images which is already the subject of pending actions against Apple. Separately, Kodak filed suits today against Apple and HTC in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging the same infringement.The four patents being asserted against Apple include:
"As we have stated before, Kodak is the leader in digital imaging innovation and we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars creating our pioneering patent portfolio," said Laura G. Quatela, President and Chief Operating Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. "We've had numerous discussions with both companies in an attempt to resolve this issue, and we have not been able to reach a satisfactory agreement."
- U.S. Patent No. 7,210,161 – "Automatically Transmitting Images from an Electronic Camera to a Service Provider Using a Network Configuration File"A fifth patent is being asserted only against HTC.
- U.S. Patent No. 7,742,084 – "Network Configuration File for Automatically Transmitting Images from an Electronic Still Camera"
- U.S. Patent No. 7,453,605 – "Capturing Digital Images to be Transferred to an E-Mail Address"
- U.S. Patent No. 7,936,391 – "Digital Camera with Communications Interface for Selectively Transmitting Images over a Cellular Phone Network and a Wireless LAN Network to a Destination"
Kodak first filed a patent infringement suit against Apple in January 2010, also targeting Research in Motion in the same effort. Apple filed a countersuit a few months later in an effort to bolster its position against Kodak.
With the new lawsuits coming just as Kodak is attempting to stave off bankruptcy, the company appears to be attempting to demonstrate strength in its patent portfolio as it hopes to attract higher bids for its intellectual property. Even if the company is unable to avoid bankruptcy, its patent portfolio is likely to be one of the key assets to be sold off in a court-ordered auction following the bankruptcy filing.
