|Route Climbed: Normal Route Date Climbed: 15-16 February 2003
|Bad luck with the weather as 20 people summited the day we arrived at the hut followed by7-8 inches of snow. We attempted to summit on both days following with both attempts ending around 19,000 due to the avalanche conditions. Tons of other parties climbing with the same results. The day after we left the weather improved and several teams made the summit. It just wasn't my trip.

|Once we finished our acclimatization on two Illinizas we moved to Mt. Cotopaxi. From the base camp our team started to climb at around 2:30 am. It was a short hike to a glassier. Being in the dark we did not see the path. So i decided to go vertically up on the glassier. After 3 vertical meters the glassier become less steep. We roped up and continue to climb. Finally i saw a group of German alpinists ahead of us. I followoed there path and finally we were on the right trail. Some of our member was not acclimatized well. Thus they could not keep up with the tempo. At around 6:00 am i decide to continue summit "SOLO". Once i get out of rope i started to move up much more faster. At 9:00 am i reached the summit. I spent there about and hour, and then came back to the base camp. Unfortunatly i had to come back when the sun was way up. Thus it was enormous heat. I ran out of water, which forced me to eat snow. I return to camp safe, however i have to sdmit it was quite a stranious walk for a total of 9 hours

|With my wife Annica Carlsson, I summited the Cotopaxi at about 7:30 AM, after about 6.5 hours. We had light rain and ice showers at the beginning of the climb, and higher on the mountain we had strong wind. We could not see the crater! Once down at the Cotopaxi refuge the mountain was absolutely clear-typical....

|Hiked to Cotopaxi in a couple of days after acclimatisation climb of Iliniza Norte, going through El Boliche entrance to national park from El Chaupi.
Left Jose Rivas refuge at 1am and reached summit at 5.30am, so hung around there for 30 minutes to get pictures of sunrise. Back at refuge at 8am. The only difficulties I found were making sure you pick the right entry point to the glacier to get the path to the top (follow a guided party if unsure - I reccied this the day before the climb) and the last crevasse before the summit. This crevasse used to have a metal bridge, but there is now a narrow snow bridge immediately followed by a short steep pitch where care is needed (especially on the descent).
Fantastic views from the top (and indeed on the way up, due to clear starry night with half moon).

|Nice climb, no real technical difficulties. beware of numerous crevasses. approx. Alpine PD+
Acclimatise well and wait for the weather. The sound of the wind inside the hut can be demoralising but it's worth going up to the top the scree and reassess conditions.

|We climbed with six people, led by three guides in three rope teams. Weather conditions were excellent.
My buddie Koen and myself took of like a rocket from the refugio. The speed appeared way to fast. It was my first time above 5000m (or even 4000m for that matter) and the lack of experience killed me. Koen and I had to split. Koen continued with the guide while I waited for the second team. I was able to hook up to the second team, but finally had to give up at about 5700m.
One day I will return to conquer this beautiful mountain.

|First high altitude experience for my partner (I wasn't so hot myself). Ugly weather ( http://www.geocities.com/jpdoumeyrou/ecuador2002/gallerie2.html ) Lack of training. Turned around at the level of the black rocks. Lost my seeing glasses on the way down. Very tired. Loved it.

Climbed with Matt "dad" Sherman and Linda Josephson after spending one night in noisy refugio. Cold & windy on glacier with some frozen precipitation. Several crevasse bridges (more apparent descending) and a traverse of moderately steep terrain - maybe 40 to 45 degrees. Sunny & warm on summit. Impressive crater. Routine descent though snow conditions had softened, of course, and anti-balling plates might have been helpful on crampons.

|A very smooth climb with an Ecuadorian guide.
Before visiting Ecuador, I had not even tried to summit any of Europes 4000m peaks! Thus, when I had to abandon my ambitions of observing Mountain Tapir or Spectacled Bear in the wild, I certainly was the amateur on any summit attempt to follow.
It turned out, however, that others were prepared even less. Several tour groups (especially from my home country) failed the same day predictably, because they had not bothered enough to acclimatizise.

|Left the hut at 1am... reached the top in 6 1/2 hours.. what an awsome summit. Great views or our next peak, Chimobrazo and other volcanoes...
route does get steep in sections. Roped up toward the top near the Yanasacha Black Band.
Great next step after Orizaba and Ecuador was a great country.
we got caught in the middle of economic uprest and were also robbed at gunpoint by 3 bandito's in Quito. there were 4 of us and they attacked us anyway. i would try to take mace in your luggage or better yet, buy some while your over there as a precaution. This was not fun but we did fight back and fought them off.
recomend carrying mace and only the money you will need at the moment on you. do NOT carry all your cash. Also, carry a copy of your passport, not the original.

|We spent 2-nights in the hut, which I highly recommend. Summit day was quite windy, cold, & with variable clouds. There were a few steep sections higher-up, although the last 150 yds. was quite gradual to the summit. Caution! is advised on the way down, as it warms-up, & due to your close proximity to the equator. You'll experience increased balling effect upon your crampons. We stayed the night in Latacunga, which worked-out well, except for some unknown reason, this town wasn't too friendly. I don't have an answer, because the rest of Ecuador was very hospitable. Overall, I would say this is a good mountain, & also a good country to step-up the altitude!

|Route Climbed: Normal Date Climbed: NOV/99
|My friends and I Summited in NOV/99 after quite an ordeal. Brian (middle in yellow) (Jason on left) and (Galen on right)
We Summited the Illiniza's about two weeks before for acclimatization, the plan was to head out to Cotapaxi straight away, that was the plan :-)
The 4X4 taxi got us up to the hut with no problem, we made a early summit attempt along with 20-30 other climbers, after only an hour and a half or so Brian had burned through 3 sets of fresh batteries in his borrowed headlamp, It was 3AM with no Moon light so we decided to descend. We waited the rest of the day for our 4X4 taxi to haul us dejectedly back to Quito.
After recouping for a couple of days (drinking beer all day) we hired another taxi to take us to the hut, we were assured that his 4 door Korean sedan would make it all the way. Wrong! it snowed while we were away and we had no chains, it was Midnight and we were stuck at 14000' in a midsize sedan. The driver tried to convince us we were only a couple of minutes walk away from the hut, my altimeter and knowledge of the road (having been there 2 days before) told us otherwise.
The trip back is when the fun really began, our driver was either drunk, very tired or both, he began swerving and driving very erratically, we made it all the way back to Old Town "Quito" before he fell asleep and high sided the car on a foot and a half high divider. The little accident blew out both his front tires and bent his front struts.
We managed to flag down a Taxi (now being 3AM) and get back to our Hotel.
Finally we rented a mini SUV and drove ourselves up to the mountain, this is a another story in itself but we ended up climbing Cotapaxi that night without to much more excitement.

|During late December 1999 and early January 2000, I spent some time traveling and climbing in Ecuador. While I was there, I climbed Cotopaxi and a couple other smaller peaks. On Cotopaxi, I overestimated how long it would take me to get from the Refuge to the summit. This put me on top about an hour-and-a-half before sunrise. I was the last person to start from the Refuge, but the first to summit. I passed about 30 people along the way. I didn't feel like hanging out at 19K ft for 90 minutes, so I headed down without really getting any good views. I did the climb solo (not recommended). The snow bridges over the crevasses seemed pretty stable, and the route was so well-traveled that I felt pretty safe. I was dubbed "gringo loco" back at the Refuge.

The spending and fundraising habits of a pro-charter school group that has gone to battle with Mayor Bill de Blasio are coming under scrutiny after disclosure forms filed with the state failed to shed much light on the group's activities. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
Many New Yorkers may not know the name of the pro-charter school group Families for Excellent Schools, but they certainly know its work: a flurry of television ads over the last few weeks attacking Mayor Bill de Blasio for his position on charter schools. The $3.6 million TV ad blitz has helped take a toll on the mayor's approval rating.
"This has been a very, very good campaign," said George Arzt, a Democratic consultant. "Very effective and probably very expensive."
The not-for-profit is required to disclose its lobbying expenses with the state, but its report for January and February offers little insight into its activities. It said it spent just $115,000 during that period, nearly all of it on advertising and creative development, with $50,000 going to SKD Knickerbocker, a consulting firm that produced ads for Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
A spokesman for the group said that its first TV ad, which aired in late February, was not considered lobbying because it promoted the benefits of charter schools. He said a lawyer also advised the group that a massive rally it held on the steps of the state Capitol on March 4 was not lobbying, either.
Families for Excellent Schools received $500,000 last year from the Walton Family Foundation, started by the founders of Walmart. The board of the charter group includes hedge fund and venture capital executives.
"These are kind of the same kind of one percenters that kind of crashed Wall Street," said Zakiyah Ansari of the Alliance for Quality Education. "If you hide your money where it is as opposed to showing for everyone to see, it leaves a little bit. We don't get the full picture. Families for Excellent Schools is not required to disclose its donors because it is a 501(c)3. A spokeswoman for Bloomberg said that he has not contributed to the group.

New scam requesting tutors - Posted
The following email is targeting colleges and universities. See the initial and secondary response from the scammer.
Initial contact email:
Good Morning
My name is Valerie Weiss today I was surfing the internet and I found your email contact on the Dept University's website. I am presently looking for tutor for my son Ethan, we live here in England and he has completed high school last summer back home in Slovakia. He has been ice-hockey camping for the past month and we feel it is a forward decision for us to get him a tutor to in physics as he wants to be an engineer.
He scored a B in Physics recently in his Cambridge O"Level exam and we are hoping his sporting activities will not deter he academic pursuit.
Let me know your hourly rates and also time during the week and on week ends you will be available to coach him (total number of hours you can use with him a week). Please let us hear from you soon as he would be in Canada in a couple of days/week to stay with my sister in-law for the time been and I will very much appreciate it very much if you can introduce me to someone qualified in the case you are not available.
After a grad student replied, they received the following response:
Good Morning <Grad Student Name>
I am particularly pleased to hear from you, my husband and I have gone over this, we are very happy because we know Ethan will be in safe hands.
Ethan will be in the states in the coming week. I want you to work with him and open him up to the idea of college education as I believe you are clearly a professional in this field .
I want you to know that my husband and i had initially hired a private tutor for Ethan and he was supposed to tutor him for two months preparing him for his SAT test again, this is because we weren't sure he passed the test, we already paid him upfront for but just before we concluded on lesson days and time, he lost his wife and decided to quit teaching and take proper care of his family but he has long agreed to have my money sent to any alternative tutor who'll be handling Ethan with his lessons. Luckily for us Ethan passed his SAT and scored 1320 points I was so surprised.
As we speak now Ethan doesn't need SAT coaching anymore and since you are his new tutor the payment you will receiving is the amount of $2,950, I'll need you to have your costs for Ethan's lessons as agreed at ($450) deducted from the funds received and have what's left sent out via western union to Ethan's travel arrangements as the funds will be used in securing his flight tickets and BTA (Basic Travel Allowance) as this is highly required upon his arrival at the Canadian airport according to the Canadian Immigration rules and also required as proof of funds.
I know you would ask the question why cant my sister in-law handle this for us? As we speak is she recently put to bed with some complications in Sweden, due to be back in another 5 weeks or so, her house keeper is of Spanish origin with no knowledge of the internet,s he understands and speaks little English.I hope you can understand that it would be a whole lot more difficult if I were to ask her to help me here since I dont even speak Spanish at all.
If this OK, I'll need you to provide me with your full name as to be written on the payment, your contact address(where the payment will be sent to and your phone number and I'll instruct to have the payment issued and sent out to your location asap.
OK then have a great day and get back to me and i can make relevant arrangements duly then.Also anytime or day of the week that suits you best for lessons works just fine with us as Ethan's schedule for now is fully open.

DOVER — With the blue and green ribbon cut under an archway of balloons, Kennebunk Savings Bank officially opened their 16th branch and has been warmly welcomed into the Garrison City — and for good reason.
"Yay!" Coraluzzo shouted, thanking Paige for his contribution.
Paige said the bank is able to give back and extinguish themselves because they are mutual institution, meaning they are run by a board of trustees. Aside from giving back money, they also donate 10,000 volunteer hours a year to their communities.
"That let's us be a bit different on how we approach not only our customers, but our employees and our communities," he said, adding that he is very happy with their new location.
"The City of Dover has been extremely welcoming. They have been very easy to work with and a pleasure to work with," Paige said. "We've had a lot of positive feedback coming through the office already so we are really excited."

fan strategies
As a passionate fan of numerous media titles, I'm fascinated by how digital technologies have enabled fans to work collectively to express their passions and, when called on, to attempt rescuing those titles from oblivion.
It's led me to write extensively on this blog about fandom and modern fan movements – and to dabble in fanon works myself. I'm also proud to be a Futures of Entertainment Fellow, as well.
For this year's conference I pitched the idea of building an online community dedicated to collecting past fan attempts to save or resurrect their favorite shows, and to host interviews with major network executives to discuss these movements from the perspective of someone attempting to balance a complex portfolio of titles and advertisers. Unfortunately (and fortunately) there was an embarrassment of riches when it came to other panel ideas and diverse speakers. So this idea was never realized.
Today, io9 published a short list of such successful fan movements.
I still think future fans could use a centralized resource to advise or inform their decentralized movements. I think having execs from major networks take part in a site like this would help humanize the often contentious movements. Someone like Craig Engler from SyFy Networks is a perfect example of one such exec. Sabrina Caluori at HBO is another.
I know a handful of brilliant media scholars that could help moderate interviews and discussions, people like Flourish Klink, Sam Ford, Nancy Baym, or Josh Green.
Additionally, in my past consulting for a trio of media companies, I explored listening strategies that could help these organizations vet scripts and pilots of new titles based on fandom behavior. This sort of predictive analysis would make such a site a valuable place for media companies to participate as well.
For now, I'm just releasing this idea into the wild for anyone to potentially run away with. To me, an idea shared and realized always beats an idea hoarded. I'd love to hear your feedback if you have any.
By the by, SaveMyShow.tv is currently available. Just a thought.

Such a good idea. like "get up" but for 80′s cartoons and arrested development type situations!
Such a brilliant idea, Bud. Hope it gets off the ground, would love to see such a project happening, especially if people like Engler get involved. By the way I'm a big fan (yes, pun intended)of your work. Have quoted your Mad Men manifesto in an academic article(it's been published in Portuguese, but could mail you the link to the journal if you wish). I do believe it's time companies recognise fan production as legitimate and, as Mike Monello has mentioned many times, understand that a fan is much more than someone that simply clicks on "like".

Several Short Sentences About Writing
by Verlyn Klinkenborg
"Your job as a writer is making sentences. Most of your time will be spent making sentences in your head. Did no one ever tell you this? That is the writer's life. Never imagine you've left the level of the sentence behind. Most of the sentences you make will need to be killed. The rest will need to be fixed. This will be true for a long time. The hard part now is deciding which to kill and which to fix and how to fix them. This will get much, much easier, but the decision making will never end."
A widely admired writer and teacher of writing for more than 25 years, Klinkenborg gives a distillation of that experience in an indispensable and distinctive book that will help anyone who wants to write, write better, or have a clearer understanding of what it means to be writing.

Anatomy of a Short Story: Nabokov's puzzles, codes, "Signs and Symbols"
by Yuri Leving
Since its first publication in 1948, one of Vladimir Nabokov's shortest short stories, "Signs and Symbols," has generated perhaps more interpretations and critical appraisal than any other that he wrote. It has been called "one of the greatest short stories ever written" and "a triumph of economy and force, minute realism and shimmering mystery" (Brian Boyd, Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years). Anatomy of a Short Story contains: - the full text of "Signs and Symbols," line numbered and referenced throughout the book - correspondence about the story, most of it never before published, between Nabokov and the editor of The New Yorker, where the story was first published - 33 essays of literary criticism on the story, bringing together classic essays and new interpretations - a round-table discussion in which a screenwriter, a theater scholar, a mathematician, a psychiatrist, and a literary scholar bring their perspectives to bear on "Signs and Symbols". Anatomy of a Short Story illuminates the ways in which we interpret fiction, and the short story in particular.

Preview of OpenCongress RedesignJune 29, 2009 - by David Moore
Today, at the Personal Democracy Forum conference, OpenCongress is announcing our biggest update yet, coming this summer: a complete site re-design, more data on "the money trail" in Congress, and new tools to engage with your elected officials. Everyone can be an insider.
Currently, OpenCongress works as a hub of conversation about bills and issues in Congress, but the upcoming redesign will make the site a more powerful organizing platform. If OpenCongress were a software project, we'd call it version 2.0, and we're excited to get it out into the world.
Here are some screenshot previews of the redesign, along with quick ways for you to give your feedback and help spread the word. First, to the right, check out the new OC homepage in progress — click the image once to see it in full in a new browser window and again to enlarge:
… so fresh & so clean, the redesign improves the readability & usability of all the government data & social wisdom on our pages. We're continually working toward the point where, instead of feeling overwhelmed or intimidated by government data, newcomers to politics feel more informed and empowered in the face of the legislative process.
Congress w/ Social Context
Second, our bill page interface has been redesigned with one of the primary aims being to foreground the interactive tools:
… the new right-hand sidebar presents easy access to tracking and voting features, built-in social sharing, and now, as below, the ability to write your elected officials directly from bill pages with your opinion on the bill:
… scrolling down back on this draft bill page, we've brought out and highlighted the social data on "Users Tracking This Bill" — what other bills and Members people are tracking, supporting, and opposing. This data, uniquely generated by the OpenCongress community, works like a "Six Degrees of OpenCongress" — find other topics of likely interest to you in the Congressional haystack, based on the associations of real people.
Watchdog Congress
Third, we're especially excited to announce a new set of "Watchdog" features called as part of every free "My OpenCongress" profile:
… on your "Watchdog" tab, you can easily view your Senators' and Representative's latest actions, and compare your personal votes "aye/nay" on bills with their official votes on those bills' passage. Watchdog tabs are accompanied by state- and Congressional district-specific portals to find your elected officials and what other users in your state are tracking, supporting, and opposing. These are significant steps towards our goal of taking OpenCongress more local and facilitating peer-to-peer constituent communication about the votes that matter to you.
More $$ Data
Fourth, we're integrating more campaign contribution data to help the public follow "The Money Trail" throughout Congress. For Members of Congress, the redesigned site will show new levels of detail from OpenSecrets on which industries have donated to their campaigns. For bills, we're now syndicating more info from MAPLight on interests that support and oppose the bill (e.g., the recent Climate Change Bill [H.R. 2454]). These are significant additions in making OpenCongress a more useful tool for combating corruption and building broad-based accountability.
Fifth, as part of the redesign launch we'll be releasing the OpenCongress API, currently in beta. In short, the API provides web developers with automated access to all the data on OpenCongress in order to remix it for their own websites & online communities. In addition to official legislative data, the API offers a wealth of one-of-a-kind social data: bills most in the news & blogs, what's popular in the Battle Royale, users tracking this bill are also tracking these bills, summaries of hot bills, and much more.
Wiki Knowledge
Sixth and last, the redesign will feature enhanced access to the shockingly useful content available on the OpenCongress Wiki — especially RaceTracker, the community project tracking every election for the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and governorship. This crowd-sourced project allows individuals to add information they know about who's running for office in their district and state, as long as the info is referenced to an outside source. The result is a collaborative, non-partisan, rich web resource on everyone running for Congress in 2010 and beyond. The OC Wiki will also release a new project giving enhanced access to Congressional scorecards from issue-based organizations from a variety of backgrounds. On pages for Members of Congress, you'll have over 30 scorecards at your fingertips with meaningful votes on important issues, as well as the ability to access all this structured data through semantic MediaWiki. For example, visit the wiki profile of Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) & do a 'find' on "Congressional scorecards".
Help Us Out!
Overall, by making our site more social and interactive, we're working to make Congress more transparent and accountable. We're interested in your feedback – to volunteer as a beta-tester and how the new features work for you, simply email us at w/ subject line "redesign". In the weeks to come we'll email you a preview link with further instructions on how to help. In the meantime, please help spread the word about our upcoming redesign — short link to Tweet, Digg post to Digg, or simply email this blog post to your friends. As always, OpenCongress is a 100% free, open-source, non-partisan, and not-for-profit joint project of Sunlight Foundation and the Participatory Politics Foundation. Can't wait to see how individuals and organizations use the new site to get involved in the Congressional process. Thanks for using OpenCongress.

I am eager to see the redesign implemented and kick the tires. My only concern is the low level of text contrast in many areas of the compositions. The overall sight is very clean and soft, but the soft grey type is often hard to read. Looking at image comps is not the same as evaluating a live site, so for all I know you intensify the contrast on hover or over interactive effect. Still, I encourage you to take a second look at the impact of contrast on the readability of the site as you refine this version or perhaps prepare a v2.1 revision.

Hey SnowflakeSeven, thanks for the note — yes definitely, we'll be increasing the contrast as you suggested, the screenshots are still works in progress. Good looking out!
- ActivistMotivator 06/30/2009 10:31am
Two thumbs up on the preview!
We hope it creates more actionable and influential systems of communication that force the hand of justice on corrupt relationships exposed by transparency. That is the ultimate goal.
I'm impressed by the new layout. I am highly anticipating its implementation. I would like to suggest that the new OpenCongress site also include a section that helps circulate currently drafted proposals that have not yet been introduced. For example, Senator Kennedy's current healthcare proposal is not introduced, but seeing a copy before it is may help activist and individuals voice their opinion as the bill is being written, when it is still relatively easy to change, not requiring an amendment on which a group must vote.

Thank you for the posts. I found the information to be informative and useful.

Political Brinksmanship Still Threatens US Economy
By PAUL WISEMAN and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Even if U.S. lawmakers avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, higher taxes and brinksmanship in Washington are likely to continue damaging the fragile economy well into 2013.
In the early hours of the new year, the Senate passed emergency legislation to prevent deep spending cuts and even bigger tax hikes from taking effect. But the measure ran into fierce opposition Tuesday from House Republicans, leaving unclear whether a final agreement could be reached before the current Congress ends Thursday.
The Senate version would raise taxes on individual incomes over $400,000 and household incomes over $450,000 and on the portion of estates that exceeds $5 million. House Republicans are reluctant to sign on to those tax hikes â¿¿ which would deliver some $600 billion in revenue over 10 years â¿¿ at least without more cuts in government spending.The higher taxes on the wealthy would likely slow the economy a little bit. But a bigger drag would come from a tax hike Democrats and Republicans aren't even bothering to fight over: the end of a two-year Social Security tax cut. The so-called payroll tax is scheduled to bounce back up to 6.2 percent this year from 4.2 percent in 2011 and 2012, amounting to a $1,000 tax increase for someone earning $50,000 a year. "It's a huge hit," says Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. "It hits people whether they're making $10,000 or they're making $2 million. It doesn't matter who you are ... The lower your income, the more of your income you're (spending). So if you're taxes go up, it's going to come out of your spending." And that is bad news for an economy that is 70 percent consumer spending. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, calculates that the higher payroll tax will reduce economic growth by 0.6 percentage points in 2013. The other possible tax increases â¿¿ including higher taxes on household incomes above $450,000 a year â¿¿ will slice just 0.15 percentage points off annual growth, Zandi said.

Moving Ike Davis Is A Bad Idea
Recently, Ike Davis has had to fire back after reports suggested the Mets were upset with his late-night habits.
"I have never missed games or not been ready to work because of anything to do with staying up too late," Davis told The Daily News in a telephone interview. "I show up every day. I play hard. It is unfair to me, and it doesn't make sense."
Citing a "baseball source," ESPN reported that Sandy Alderson was open to trading Davis because he stayed out too late after ballgames.
I totally disagree with even thinking about moving Ike Davis. What 25-year-old single man living in the most exciting city in the world isn't going to go out at night? As long as he doesn't pull a Lindsay Lohan, Ike Davis should be able to live his life the way he wants to. Players in the 80's or 90's would do things far worse than staying out past their bedtime. And they still got their job done.
I see Ike Davis as one of the players that we would build a future winner around. Sandy Alderson should be trying to find guys to protect Ike Davis in the lineup, not looking for the team willing to give the Mets their best offer. Davis leads the team in homeruns, with 27 roundtrippers going into tonight. Davis also leads the team with 81 RBI. Why would you trade the one guy that is even remotely close to a 30 HR/100 RBI season?
If Ike Davis gets moved, who's going to play first base? Lucas Duda? Justin Turner? Do we dare try to teach Daniel Murphy another position? There isn't a player in AAA that we can move up to replace Davis should he get moved. We would have to pursue another first baseman via trade or free agency because there isn't even a first baseman of the future toiling around in the minors.
I'm sure Sandy Alderson will give the New York media some eloquent answer that vaguely answers their question. His actions this offseason will speak way louder than any statement he may give.
David Wright to the Phillies? Please God, no!
According to MetsBlog, the Phillies like David Wright. Well, so do the Rockies.
At least if he were on the Rockies, we wouldn't have to face him 18 times a year.
According to Jayson Stark, the Phillies might be looking for an upgrade at third, but Wright (in the worst season of his career) might not be much of an upgrade over Placido Polanco. Polanco hit .277 with 19 extra base hits and 50 RBI this season in 122 games.
In 102 games, Wright had a .254 average, 38 extra base hits and 61 RBI.
The rumor that's being discussed in Philadelphia is Wright for Dom Brown and Vance Worley. According to Stark, there's no way that the talks could be so far down the line.
Wright is owed $15 million in 2012 while Polanco is owed $6.25 million. Wright's 2013 $16 million option becomes void if he is traded to another team.
The thing is, I see Wright on the 2012 Opening Day roster. If the Mets are still contending at the trade deadline, I don't see the team swapping him at that time either. If the Mets are playing for dignity, I could see a swap to save money.
But I was going to trade David Wright, I wouldn't be stupid enough to trade him to a division rival. I'd be okay if he went to any other team in any other division. Ideally for me, he would be in the American League…or on the Rockies.
David Wright is still the face of this team. I think if the Mets are seriously considering slashing their payroll by swapping Wright, then they need to weigh their options and the consequences of each potential swap. I would make a demand and not settle for any less. Because if the Mets are going to swap Wright, they're gonna have to get a helluva lot to smooth things over with the fans.

> How to Host the Glow in the Dark Party
Buy black blank cards and glow-in-the-dark paint to create party invitations. Simply write, "It's a Glow in the Dark Party!" on the front of each card and allow the paint to dry. Write the party details like the time, date, location, RSVP information and instructions to wear light-colored clothing on a piece of white cardstock affixed with a glue stick to the inside of the card.2
Swap all of the light bulbs in the party rooms with black lights to ensure your decorations and game props glow. Decorate the walls with glow-in-the-dark posters, float lime green or dark-colored balloons with white shapes along the ceiling and hang white streamers that will appear illuminated under the black lights.3
Give each guest an assortment of blue, green, orange or yellow glow bracelets and necklaces as they arrive at the party. Help guests apply temporary glow-in-the-dark tattoos to their faces, arms and hands.4
Organize games like a glow-in-the-dark relay race that requires one person from each team to run across the room and dig through a bag of objects to find the next item his team needs to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Create one bag for each team filled with two slices of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly, a plastic knife and an assortment of unnecessary food and kitchen items. The first team to complete the sandwich in the semi-darkness wins.5
Serve refreshments like finger sandwiches made with white bread, light-colored cookies and crackers with white cheeses that will reflect the glowing colors. Choose beverages like lemon-lime or club soda or sparkling lemonade that will also appear to glow under the black lights.6
Let the guests drink out of plastic cups with LED-lit bottoms to light the beverages. Decorate plain paper plates and napkins with designs created with glow-in-the-dark paint pens. Leave the white paper tablecloth plain so the guests can leave messages for the guest of honor with the paint pens.

Miss USA 2011 Alyssa Campanella, Miss Teen USA 2011 Danielle Doty and Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes will be delivering smiles and good cheer to U.S. troops and military families in Germany on a week-long USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour on March 9-14. The trio will visit with military families, sign autographs and share messages of inspiration with troops located on U.S. bases that include Wiesbaden Army Airfield, Ramstein Air Base, U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart and Spangdahlem Air Base. A long-time supporter of America's Armed Forces and the USO, the Miss Universe Organization frequently sends titleholders on USO tours to visit troops and military families around the world and the three crown holders are embracing their first opportunity to lift the spirits of our nation's deployed military and its families. "I am so grateful to work with the USO again," said New Jersey native Campanella, who also attended last year's USO Gala in Washington, D.C. "I know how much the work they do means to our troops. My grandfather and one of my closest friends served in the military and I've heard from them how much it means to know that the people back home appreciate their sacrifices. Saying 'Thank you' seems like such a small thing but really it's all our troops want to hear." Angola native Lopes agreed: "Being crowned Miss Universe 2011 was a great honor but even more humbling is being able to take part in a trip like this and working with the USO. Those who selflessly serve to protect the rights of others deserve all of our respect and thanks. I can't wait to get out there and let troops and their families know how much we appreciate them." And for Texas's Doty, the chance to travel overseas to visit deployed Americans is a new experience. "This is such an amazing opportunity," Doty said. "I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with my military peers, hearing their stories and delivering a touch of home to our troops and their families as part of my USO tour."

Match report
Tottenham Hotspur conceded a late equaliser at home for the second week running as Andre Villas-Boas' wait for his first win in charge continued.
Mousa Dembele thought he had won the match by scoring on his debut with an 18-yard strike, but Robert Snodgrass scored five minutes from time to deny Spurs as West Bromwich Albion did last week.
To make matters worse for Villas-Boas, Tom Huddlestone was sent off for a foul on Bradley Johnson with one minute left.
Had it not been for an excellent performance from Brad Friedel, Spurs could have gone behind before Dembele's introduction as a substitute. The goalkeeper pulled off brilliant saves from Snodgrass and Anthony Pilkington in his 307th consecutive Barclays Premier League game.
Spurs had started brightly. Aaron Lennon, fresh from signing a new four-year contract before kick-off, burst down the right flank and cut back for Gylfi Sigurdsson, but he shot wide in the opening minute.
After 15 minutes Norwich took hold of the game. Snodgrass floated in a cross for Russell Martin who headed on to the bar via the fingertips of Friedel. Martin then shrugged off Jermain Defoe and released Simeon Jackson, who ran 50 yards before slipping a shot just wide of Friedel's goal.
Spurs attack was limited to a tame Defoe shot that dribbled in to John Ruddy's arms.
Norwich, in contrast, grew in confidence by the minute. Howson's cross was cleared only as far as Johnson, who belted a screaming half-volley just over. Norwich then almost took the lead just before half-time when Pilkington crossed for Snodgrass who was denied by a brilliant one-handed save from Friedel.
Villas-Boas brought on Dembele for Sandro at half-time and the Belgian impressed early on. Sigurdsson also sprung into life, volleying a powerful shot but Ruddy saved with ease.
Pilkington a clever free-kick just wide, but Spurs hit back through Gareth Bale, who thumped a powerful drive just over the bar.
Friedel again proved his worth by saving a powerful low shot from Pilkington and then the home crowd's mood was lifted after 68 minutes when Dembele opened the scoring.
Defoe drifted into the left-hand side of the box and laid the ball off to the Belgian, who shot beyond Ruddy.
Villas-Boas brought on Huddlestone for his first game in just over a year as he sought to close the game out, but Norwich snatched an equaliser through Snodgrass.
Moments after Kyle Walker had cleared off the line, the former Leeds player seized on a loose ball by smashing home through a crowded box with five minutes left.
Huddlestone thumped a powerful drive wide but his return ended in disappointment two minutes from time when he was given a red card.
Johnson almost won it for the visiting side with 30 seconds left when he powered a fierce shot that Friedel did well to save.
Manager: Andre Villas-Boas

EAU CLAIRE - The Educational Opportunity Center, housed at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, will sponsor Career Exploration with Myers Briggs for people who are anticipating a change in career or a return to school.
Participants will take the Myers Briggs Type indicators and learn the language of type. In the three-hour presentation and group activity, participants will discuss how type enriches work relationships and career enjoyment and begin planning for career change. Participants will learn about regional training and educational resources.
Jill Christopherson, of the Educational Opportunity Center, will lead the program which will be held from 12 to 4 p.m. Thursday, March 13, at the UW Center-Marshfield in Wood County. Christopherson holds a master's degree in guidance and counseling and has nine years experience in career counseling. She has presented career related topics locally and internationally and has helped individuals work through the opportunities brought by economic change.
The program is free and open to the public. Space is limited. For more information or to register, call the UW Center-Marshfield at (715) 389-6530 by March 7

Not long ago, finding a health plan was easy – you simply enrolled in the plan your employer provided or the one the government offered. Now you have many options to choose from – HMO, PPO, POS, Traditional Medicare, Medicare Supplement, Medicare HMO – the list goes on. No wonder you may be confused about what to choose!
Basically, you need to evaluate the plan based on the benefits it offers, how much it costs and, most important, whether the doctors and hospitals you prefer are part of the plan. After all, when you need care, you go to the doctor, not the health plan's office.
The Ohio State University Medical Center and the doctors who practice here participate in many health insurance plans. Obtain a current list of the plans that University Hospital, The James and our laboratory services participate in. (Because this list changes all the time, ask your doctor which plans he or she participates in before you sign up for a new plan.)
You can also review an online copy of Ohio State Wexner Medical Center's Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing a Health Plan in this section of our Web site.
