The WaPo has fired blogger David Weigel over this and this. Of course, like virtually all MSM journalists, Dave's a left-liberal, but now, with that out in the open, readers could have more easily judged his blogs on conservatives and libertarians. Did he wish death on Drudge and Limbaugh (or me)? That's important for readers to know. But Murray Rothbard always mourned the fighting, openly partisan newspapers of the 19th century, and their supplanting by grey, establishment dailies that pretended to objectivity while actually running a regime agenda.
Once a year, long-time columnist Charley Reese used to tell his readers about his finances, the organizations he belonged to, and his general political outlook, so they could better judge what he had to say. There is nothing wrong, and everything right, with journalists having strong opinions, as long as they are in the open. The problem comes with pretended disinterestedness. If the Koch Oil Company-funded Reason Magazine—which hired Dave to cover, and, they hoped, destroy the "Paultards"—had been honest about their motivations and paymasters, and not attempted to pass off a liberal as a libertarian, it would have been harder to complain. Reason showed Dave the door as a salaryman when their anti-Paul campaign burned the paper mag, but he landed on his feet. I think that will happen again, perhaps at Salon or HuffPo. [UPDATE: He's more than landed on his feet: Dave has been hired by MSNBC.]
One of the great virtues of the internet is that there is no question about where web-king Drudge stands, or smaller fry like LRC. Too bad the WaPo, dedicated to demonizing the "small people with the pitchforks," can't copy Matt.
UPDATE from a friend:
You couldn't be more right about Dave Weigel. When he worked at Reason he would come to our Ron Paul Meetup Group get-togethers in DC; since he worked for a supposedly libertarian publication, we assumed he was a libertarian. But then the articles he'd write seemed not at all enthusiastic about the most libertarian major presidential candidate in memory, which left me confused. Then I went to a Reason Magazine event at their swanky Connecticut Avenue digs — and, despite the election being only months away, found nothing but hostility for Ron Paul from the "libertarians" there! Only after finding your site did I discover Reason's and Cato's provenance and true purpose — derailing libertarian movements from within.
The viciousness of Weigel's e-mails don't surprise me, either; viciousness is one psychological trait the Octopus looks for in young scribes. The sheer bile of young writers in DC against anyone who questions enormous government is astonishing.2:39 pm on June 25, 2010 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

New Foreclosure Filings Fall to Seven-Year Low
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Foreclosure activity fell 27% in September from last year but rose 2% from a month earlier, according to the latest report from RealtyTrac.
Foreclosure filings, which includes notices of default, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, have declined annually for 36 consecutive months.
There were a total of 376,931 properties with foreclosure filings at the end of the third quarter, down 7% from the previous quarter and down 29% from the year-earlier quarter.
New foreclosure filings or foreclosure starts fell 39% from a year earlier to a seven-year low.Foreclosure activity started to decline in October 2010 after lenders and servicers were accused of improperly signing off on foreclosure documents in a practice called "robo-signing." After a moratorium was imposed on foreclosure activity, the five biggest servicers, including Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) entered into a $25 billion mortgage settlement with regulators that required them to offer billions of dollars in mortgage relief and foreclosure prevention to borrowers. States including California and Nevada have since enacted tougher foreclosure laws that have made it increasingly difficult for banks to foreclose on borrowers. States that follow a judicial foreclosure process, which requires banks to prove the borrower is in default in court, have seen a growing backlog of foreclosures as courts are overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases. The average time to complete a foreclosure is now 551 days nationwide, up from 526 days in the second quarter and up 44% from 382 days in the third quarter of 2012. The average time to foreclose in New York takes 1,037 days. New Jersey, Florida, Illinois and Connecticut are also known for particularly long timelines. "In a healthy housing market foreclosures are rare but streamlined while still protecting the rights of the homeowner," said RealtyTrac Vice President Daren Blomquist. "While foreclosures are clearly becoming fewer and farther between in most markets, the increasing time it takes to foreclose is holding back a more robust and sustainable recovery." The length of the foreclosure process is one reason why banks have increasingly opted for alternatives such as loan modifications and short sales in recent years, which has helped stem the tide of foreclosures. Still, foreclosure activity fluctuates widely from month to month as banks work through the backlog of problem loans, with many eventually finding their way to foreclosure. "The sharp jumps in foreclosure activity in some local markets may come as a surprise to some," Blomquist said. "These spikes in activity demonstrate that while millions of distressed homeowners have been pulled back from the precipice by foreclosure prevention programs over the past several years, once those programs expire or are exhausted, a percentage of these troubled homeowners are still susceptible to falling into foreclosure. In addition even slight economic downturns at the local or regional level can push these homeowners hanging on by a thread over the edge." -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York. >Contact by Email.

A couple of folks have asked me off-blog if I'm okay in the wake of my post last Monday when I wrote, "I'm wound up, worried, and sad about a bunch of things I can't write about here." I'm sorry I tripped some alarms. There were several students of mine involved in deep, severe crises last week. They pushed most other thoughts out of my head. I couldn't find a way to talk about their various plights publicly while maintaining their privacy and confidentiality. Their stories point to some broad social problems, so they'll probably inspire me to write about them in some way, maybe just with a time lag to shroud identities.
Anyway, I am okay. Overworked and overtired, but okay.
And I has a moonflower. In fact, I have heaps of them. They're five to six inches in diameter. They open in the evenings and close during the day – the opposite of morning glories, with whom they share heart-shaped foliage.
How could I not be okay?

Anne At Home Corinthia Towel Ring
By Nancy P. from Mendham, NJ on Sep 05, 2011
It's really beautiful. I bought it in antique gold and it matched my Moen Antique Bronze finish hardware on my sink and toilet perfectly. It's upscale and elegant. Just be aware that it extends pretty far away from the wall compared to most towel rings so be sure the scale of this will be right for your bathroom.

Always shop Ring Around the towels
By Anita N. from Baytown, TX on Jun 07, 2010
Bargain Hunter, Practical, High-End Shopper
Could not be happier!! After shopping for 2 months, got these online - could not find antique brass towel racks to match the faucets that came w/vanity that I got a at 2nd hand resale shop; the color is just a little off, but where I placed them, it doesn't show at all. Price was OK compared to retail stores, shipping was great got within 10 days. If I could I would have order the faucets and rest to match, but wasn't offered. Motto: Always shop around don't settle for 2nd best.

NewsFavor.com created a custom-made newspaper birth announcement for their baby boy, which contained beautiful photographs and messages from Levi's family.

Little Levi's personalized baby newspaper, a News Favor Front Page Newspaper contained beautifully worded messages from his loving mother and father, as they welcomed him into this world.
The custom-created newspaper contained wishes from Granny and Grandad, and of course proud uncle and aunty, preserving their words of love in print so that little Levi may look back on them in years to come and always have their advice at hand.
The gorgeous newspaper for baby made perfect gifts for the family. Being just right for framing, of course granny and grandpa wanted their own copy of the newspaper birth announcement for baby Levi, too!

Mary Bartelme Park in the West Loop
By John Greenfield
[This article also appears in Time Out Chicago magazine, timeoutchicago.com.]
Time Out recently invited me to test ride the following bike tour which you can ride in later this month:
GUIDE Martin Hazard
LENGTH 12 miles, 2.5 hours
STARTS Billy Goat Tavern (430 N. Michigan Ave.)
TOC EXCLUSIVE TOUR June 18 at 8:30 pm; free. Bring your own bicycle, helmet and lights. Future tours TBD. (Call Hazard at 773-885-0900 to sign up, or just show up.)
"We're going on a tour of places that are all around us but are two steps off the beaten path," says Martin Hazard with a Marlboro clenched in his teeth as we unlock our steeds outside the subterranean Billy Goat Tavern (430 N. Michigan) on a Tuesday night. He's president of the Midnight Marauders, a nighttime cycling group that does saucy late-night excursions on the third Saturday of every month, including the notorious Porn Ride tour of strip clubs, sex shops and S & M dungeons.
Soon Hazard is leading me through the labyrinth of the Loop's multi-leveled streets including Michigan, Wacker and Randolph. We whiz up and down ramps, around steel pillars, past ragged homeless people and lonely security guards outside loading docks. After a brief jaunt on a path along the Chicago River, we're at a pretty little green space at the center of the new Lakeshore East development (430 E. Waterside Dr). "I love this park because you can't see it from most of the surface streets so nobody knows it's here," Hazard says.
Climbing a hill past the development's gateway, a pair of stainless-steel sails, we cruise across the eerily calm Central Business District to Mary Bartelme Park (115 S. Sangamon), opened last year in the West Loop. It boasts an undulating landscape and huge gateways that look like tilted silver picture frames. "They spray mist during the summer so it's a great place to cool off," says my guide.
Returning east, as we wait for a red among the neon signs of Greektown someone asks us for spare change. "I've never been panhandled on a bike before," I note. We head down Wells street past Bertrand Goldberg's curvy River City condo building (800 S. Wells) and peek through a fence underneath arching Roosevelt Road. Just beyond it is a large piece of barren earth bordering the river which Hazard calls the Brownlands – a popular spot for bonfires.
We make our way under the half-moon to Roosevelt and Michigan and the creepy 9' trunk-less legs of Magdalena Abakanowicz's "Agora" installation. We take the pedestrian bridge at 11th Street and a series of curving paths under Columbus and Lakeshore Drive to the Shedd Aquarium and then over to the Children's Garden (1330 S. Museum Campus Drive) in the shadow of Soldier Field, featuring a geodesic climbing net and a large stone sphere that you can you can spin slowly with your hands. "I like that this park is hidden by the surrounding dirt embankments," says Hazard.
As we roll down Solidarity Drive to Northerly Island Park, a coyote crosses our path(fear not: The animals roaming the city help control our rat population). We take a lap on the paved paths circling the former Meigs Field which will forever symbolize Richard M. Daley's love of parks and autocratic governing style. "There's no better place to check out the skyline at night," Hazard says.
Soon we're zooming back up the Lakefront Trail with a tailwind and cutting west on the riverside bike path back to the cozy confines of the tavern. With mugs of Billy Goat Dark we toast the end of an awesome urban assault.

The oceans could become the source of more of humanity's food if steps are taken to expand and improve marine aquaculture, according to a study published in the December 2009 issue of BioScience.
As the world's population continues to grow, lack of fresh water and space mean that terrestrial agriculture is unlikely to be able to meet food demand, according to Carlos M. Duarte of the University of the Balearic Islands, Spain, and his seven coauthors. Freshwater aquaculture, which is largely confined to the tropics, is expanding, but its reliance on fresh water may limit long-term growth. Fisheries catches have been declining globally for two decades, and although conservation measures and a shift in consumption patterns could allow some recovery, marine aquaculture holds more potential for sustained growth.
Marine aquaculture is already on the rise: production has increased ten-fold over the past 30 years and is expected to exceed fisheries catches within 20 years. Yet Duarte and his colleagues argue that its continued growth will depend on adapting current techniques so that the food needed to feed marine animals is itself derived from marine aquaculture, rather than harvested from the wild or derived from agriculture. This goal is achievable, they maintain, if more animals low on the food chain are cultivated, including more plankton and algae. These could be used as food for both humans and for fish. New technology will also help, by allowing marine aquaculture operations to be expanded into more exposed, offshore locations. Although some environmental impacts can be expected from the expansion of marine aquaculture, these are modest compared to those resulting from food production on land.
After noon EST on December 1 and for the remainder of the month, the full text of the article will be available for free download through the copy of this Press Release available at http://www.aibs.org/bioscience-press-releases/

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. has filed for a court injunction to halt sales in Japan of plasma display panels (PDP) produced by LG Electronics Inc., claiming the South Korean firm is infringing on its patents, Matsushita officials said.
In addition to the request for an injunction filed with the Tokyo District Court, Matsushita asked the Tokyo customs office to suspend imports of the products.
Matsushita argues that LG Electronics is violating its patents on technology to dissipate heat that is generated when PDPs are activated.
The two companies have been holding negotiations over the matter since around the summer, but Matsushita concluded it needed to take the legal step to protect its intellectual properties, company officials said.
LG Electronics' Japanese unit said it will take a legal countermeasure. The subsidiary said Matsushita is also utilizing LG Electronics' patented technology and called the Japanese maker's action "unilateral and insincere." (Kyodo News)

Let's talk about Frederick
Frederick is a name that's been creeping up on me for a while now. I love that it has such a long and distinguished history of use, I like the strength that Frederick has, and it doesn't have such a bad literal meaning either - "peaceful ruler." Even though I'm not a nicknamer, the possibility of Fred or Freddie appeals to me. What do you think of Frederick?

It's one of my favorite names for a boy, and is currently at the top of my list. My favorite combination right now is Frederick James.
I also like Fred, and Freddie is growing on me. Really I just like the strong sound of Frederick. I generally prefer softer names for boys, so this one is even more special in that sense.

This is near the top of my list. The only thing holding me back is a personal association I have with it. But it's such a wonderful name that I'm very close to letting that go. As pp said, I love that it's strong and yet kind of soft at the same time. And I love Freddie as a nn. I have a feeling this will be one of those names that will see a resurgence now that people are seeking a normal but less common name with fun nn potential. That's okay though because no matter how many Fredericks are running around, it is a great, classic name that will never be trendy and will never go out of style.

I prefer the spelling Frederic since it's connected to one of my favorite composers (Chopin) and I love it. I dislike the nicknames though.Our Cats:

Global Sovereign CDS Prices Tighten 16% In Q4 2012, Says CMA, Part Of S&P Capital IQ
LONDON , Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global sovereign CDS prices tightened 16% in Q4 2012 overall, as Europe rallied strongly and Greece repurchased debt, allaying fears of a Euro exit, says CMA, part of S&P Capital IQ, in its Global Sovereign Debt Credit Risk report for Q4 2012. The report, published today, names its top ten most and least risky sovereigns, as well as the best and worst performers of the quarter. All Credit Default Swap (CDS) values contained within the document are calculated by CMA Datavision™, which provides independent CDS prices intraday and end-of-day based on data collected from CMA's consortium of CDS buy-side firms.
The report states that Western Europe continued rallying from Q3 into Q4, with spreads tightening 19% overall. "Nordic countries ended a strong quarter with Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark occupying the top four places in the table of the ten least risky sovereign credits, and Sweden edging Norway off the top spot with five year CDS at 19bps," says Jav Bose, Head of Data Products at CMA. Austria and the Netherlands enter the table with spreads, at 45bps and 46bps respectively, aligning with the strong economies of Germany and Switzerland. Spain and Italy, seen as the key economies in Southern Europe, tightened 23% and 19% respectively and, as the turnaround story continues, Ireland tightened 31% closing the year at 218bps.
As the U.S. 'fiscal cliff' and debt ceiling concerns continued into the year end, U.S. CDS spreads remained relatively stable and range bound in Q4, ending the year at 38bps. However, the U.S. slipped down two places in the table to fifth least risky sovereign credit.According to CMA's data, the only sovereign to widen significantly in the quarter was Argentina, with spreads widening 52%. "Investors in Argentinian debt faced a roller-coaster ride in Q4 as five year CDS prices, expressed in upfront terms, reached a high of 4832bps at the end of November, but dropped 10% in a day on 29 November," comments Bose. "This was due to concerns of a default following an appeal court ruling allowing Argentina more time to pay 'hold out investors'." Ending the quarter on 1450bps, Argentina occupies the position of most risky sovereign credit in Q4. This quarter's report also includes commentary provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices, highlighting developments on S&P/ISDA Credit Default Swap Indices across various asset classes. *As Greece CDS pricing availability was extremely thin and illiquid this quarter, with activity in bonds rather than CDS, Greece has not been included in the rankings for this quarter's report – although it is still listed in the CPD table. Download the CMA Sovereign Credit Risk Report About CMA's Global Sovereign Debt Credit Risk Report The Global Sovereign Debt Credit Risk report focuses on changes in the risk profile of sovereign debt issuers, with the intention of identifying key trends and drivers of change. The report uses data from CMA Datavision™ to determine Q4 2012 rankings and commentary for:
- the world's top ten most risky sovereign debt
- the world's top ten least risky sovereign debt
- the largest percentage tighteners
- the largest percentage wideners
- regional comparisons.

This is the first time, I am writing tip on a nexus one. I have been using nexus one for one month now played with the device a lot and explored various options and settings. From today onwards I will keep sharing useful tips about nexus one and other android phones.
I am starting from a basic tip of how to turn on USB debugging mode in nexus one or other android phones.

GREAT FALLS, MONT. (AP) — A watercolor by famed Western artist C.M. Russell sold for $550,000 at an auction that benefits the nonprofit C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls.
The watercolor titled "High, Wide and Handsome'' sold at the low end of estimate at the auction on March 23, The Great Falls Tribune reported.
A letter written by Russell that also contained a watercolor sold for $300,000. An oil on canvas painted by Andy Thomas depicting Russell finishing a painting, called "Russell Paints a Masterpiece,'' sold for $200,000. That more than doubled the $85,000 estimate.
The auction is part of Western Art Week, held the same month as the birthday of Russell, who was born March 19, 1864. The auction raised more than $3.1 million, slightly more than last year.
"I think it was a smashing success,'' said C.M. Russell Museum board chairman Joe Masterson. "The whole weekend was a tremendous success. It exceeded our expectations.''
The $550,000 paid for one work of art topped last year's high mark of $375,000, which is what two Russell watercolors brought in separately.
A modern artist, R. Tom Gilleon, had a 50-by-50-inch oil painting titled "Hair Apparent" he hoped would break $25,000. It ended up selling for $225,000, the most a painting of his has ever fetched.
"I had absolutely no idea there was that much interest [in the painting]," said Gilleon.
"That's why we have auctions,'' said auctioneer Troy Black.
Mark Tarrant, Gilleon's gallery representative, said, "Collectors love art and recognize it is an asset class. It's a good place to put their money."

I have extremely dry skin. Despite moisturizing with almost every product on the market (serums, creams) and exfoliating, I cannot get foundation to look good on me due to flakes. Enter Hourglass No 28. This product has literally transformed my makeup. I apply this after my sunscreen and do not even both with moisturizer any more. I just use this. It is amazing. My face now looks supple and radiant. It is expensive, but well the cost. If you have super dry skin you will love it!
Yes this primer is quite expensive, probably twice the price of most other department store brands. Everything about it is luxurious, the bottle, the formulation, the fragrance. The No. 28 primer serum comes housed in a beautiful heavy glass bottle with a pump. It has a nice gentle lavender/herbal fragrance that makes just makes it a bit more pleasurable to apply. The formulation/feel is what sold me though, I swatched this at Sephora. It felt so smooth and satiny when I blended it into the back of my hand. Dispenses as a clear serum as the name implies. Great primer for dry skin, and the only dry skin friendly primer I know of that isn't shimmery. Even after a full day of work my makeup looks flawless. This is definitely a unique product as far as primers are concerned. I would repurchase as I can't think of anything else that comes close.

This has to be the best primer out there. It leaves me with a smooth appearance and reduces the size of my pores. It is light and you only need very little. A lot of other primers cause me to breakout but this one hasn't. I have been using this for almost two years now and still no complaints. Sometimes this is all I use before I got out without using any coverup.
A bit pricey but it lasts for a long time. The only thing that I have bad to say is that it comes in a glass bottle and makes me nervous because I have dropped a bottle of it already and it broke in my bathroom. But I love this product!

I love this, but not for all over the face. I have combination skin with fine lines around my eyes. I use this just around my eyes before makeup, especially in the winter when I get more de-hydrated. And I made a brilliant discovery one day when I was tired after work. It makes touch-ups look fabulous. Rather than taking off my face makeup and re-doing it before going out for the evening, I spread a tiny amount of this on areas that might get cakey with foundation and re-applied a small amount of liquid foundation. You'd never know I didn't start from scratch. For a less oily overall primer the Hourglass Mineral Veil (the white one) is great, though probably not for the T-zone in the summer. For my T-zone I use the Becca mattifying primer. So, basically, in the summer I've combined three primers for different areas of my face, but it really works.

I have oily skin, so this product isn't really ideal for me. Even so I like my skin to be hydrated above all else and I don't mind if my face is a little extra dewy/greasy. This primer has been my go-to as of late because my face feels amazing during and after wearing makeup when I start with No. 28. I agree that it doesn't really absorb; mostly it seems to just sit on my face and add shine. I just give it a few minutes to attempt to sink in before blotting the excess off with a tissue and continuing with applying my makeup. And you know what? My makeup looks great through 12-hour+ shifts. Yes, I'm pretty oily at the end of the day. But the richness of this primer gives my face such a healthy glow both with and without makeup that I find myself not caring about the oilies. I won't be running to repurchase when I run out mostly because of the price, but this greasy girl was a lot happier with No. 28 than I thought I'd be.

It suited my skin then when I was having laser Tx at the derm's office. Since I stopped those laser for 10 months and my skin has return to its normal condition, although my skin is still dry I do not find this product "sinks in" that well. It just sits there, and who has that kind of time in the morning waiting for products to be "absorbed".
I'd rather put on a cream for dry skin and then a regular silicone primer.
More reviews by makeupenthusiast1994
Def on the fence with this-I got the sample or travel sized one along w/ the mineral primer. I tend to use this one more because of my dry and flaky skin, and this seems to moisturize those spots. I've been using for about 3 weeks, and so far it hasn't broken me out, It does help my makeup stay on a little longer.
Ive used this primer with both powder foundation and liquid, and it works well for both!
Will I purchase again? Ehh, im not sure. The price is pretty steep and w/ all the cones this has in it + my acne prone skin? Probably not.
But if you don't have sensitive skin, or a little bit on the dry side, I'd suggest trying this out!
I'm giving this a 3 star rating. I like it a lot but its pricey. You can tell its an oil blend serum and that is really bad for the areas of my skin that are oily... I bought the one Sephora sells that has this one in a mini version with the Veil mini version. I like the Veil better I think because that does better with oil, but this goes better with the dry areas. I've tried using both combined but did not like it. So 3 starts mostly because its frustrating that this one product cant be used for combination skin.
As I get older, I am less sure about calling my skin normal. Now with the LA weather, my skin is oily as hell in the summer and dry and parched in the fall. I have oily spots and dry spots. My nose often shows it first.
This primer, although smelling like tiger balm and green Asian holy oil, makes foundation on flakes look like butter on a biscuit. Smooth, no lines, and no dry flakes in sight!
Do remember that it feels like paddling grease on a frying pan and that feeling will last, but its a small price to pay when it hides flakey bits. Its loaded with cones but my skin isn't sensitive. It takes a minute to dry unlike any other face oils that lingers.
The small sample vial has been lasting me and I've already purchased the large size for many years of usage.
With a deep moisturizer like clinique at night and this prior to morning foundation, my laugh lines are also plumped. Turns out I wasn't crazy and saw them appear from nowhere. They were a sign of lack of hydration. I am only 21.
I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole and a glove in the summer let alone put it on any oil prone area. Its thick and suffocatingly hydrating enough as of now.

This broke me out terribly :( i was surprised the SA recommended this to me because I have oily acne prone skin. it feels really sticky going on but it sets into a smooth silicone finish. i like the packaging and that its clear so it doesn't interfere with my foundation. it has a nice herbal scent. although its hydrating, It didn't make my foundation last much longer. Overall, i didnt find it worth the price or breakouts.

Protesters call for adult trauma center at U. of C.; four arrested
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Staff email@example.com January 27, 2013 2:50PM
A sit-in at the new University of Chicago Hospital building demanded life-saving care for youth/ Protesters gathered outside the hospital. and said that the massive investment in a new hospital building, despite the lack of trauma care, shows a lack of concern for lives of youth of color. Several arrests were reported. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times

Updated: March 1, 2013 7:09PM
Protesters called on the University of Chicago medical center to open an adult trauma center Sunday to better meet the health-care needs on the South Side, but some were arrested at the hospital as it prepared to conduct a tour of its new $700 million facility.
To have a new $700 million hospital, but then to say they "don't have the resources to sustain a trauma center is offensive to the people of this community ," said Veronica Morris-Moore, a 20-year-old South Side resident and member of Fearless Leading By the Youth, the community organization that organized the protest.
Four people were arrested, and the group, which included about 30 protesters, contended that university police used unnecessary force in what was a peaceful protest.
The group began calling for the trauma center a few years ago after the death of 18-year-old South Side resident Damian Turner, who was shot and killed during random gunfire while he stood outside with others just blocks from the hospital. Turner was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital even though the U. of C. hospital was considerably closer but didn't have an adult trauma center.
Morris-Moore said she was kicked and pushed in her back at the protest Sunday. Sheila Rush, the mother of Turner, said she also was roughed up by university police.
"I'm very upset about being treated that way by male officers of the law," Morris-Moore said. "They treated me as if I had a gun in my hand. They took us down to the ground like we were vigilantes. We're youth. The reason why we're protesting on a Sunday is because tomorrow we have to go to school."
Lorna Wong, a spokeswoman for the U. of C., said in an email that several people gained unauthorized entry into the new hospital and were asked to leave. She said the U. of C. had no plans to open a Level 1 adult trauma center. The hospital has not had such a center in more than two decades. It decided not to renew its application for the center and instead to concentrate its resources on "clinical specialties where the hospital can play the greatest role," she said.
The hospital has a Level 1 trauma center for children. Protesters said, for starters, it could include 16- to 21-year-olds.
Wong said the hospital supports the city of Chicago's Trauma Care Network, and she noted that no one in Cook County is more than 32 minutes from a Level 1 adult trauma center.
The protesters said they planned to continue their efforts. If someone's family member was seriously injured, they would expect to be transported to the nearest hospital, Rush said.

According to the court papers, Longoria cited "irreconcilable differences," and has asked for "spousal support."

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

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!

They probably won't bite.

CHICAGO, November 4, 2013 — At 12:01 AM EST Tuesday free agents will be allowed to sign with other teams and the offseason will get under way with 30 teams trying to accomplish what the Red Sox did in 2013, win the World Series.
Following are seven of the most sought after hitters in this year's relatively thin free agent class with last year's team, position and their likely suitors.
SEE RELATED: Boston Red Sox win third World Series title in ten years
Robinson Cano, NYY, 2B - Cano posted a .314/.383/.516 slash line last year, which is amazing production from second base and right in line with his career numbers. While Cano will be entering his age 31 season next year, he is likely to be the highest paid free agent in this year's class. Cano is likely to re-sign with the Yankees, but could draw interest from teams like the Detroit Tigers, Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, and New York Mets.
Jacoby Ellsbury, BOS, CF,- The Red Sox tried to lock up Ellsbury with a long term contract prior to both of the last two seasons, but had no success. Ellsbury posted a .298/.355/.426 slash line this year while stealing 52 bases in 56 attempts. He is considered one of the best leadoff men in baseball, but if he is looking for the most money, he will likely leave Boston. Other suitors could include the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, and Chicago Cubs.
Brian McCann ATL, C - McCann has been one of the best offensive catchers in baseball since his first full season in 2006, hitting between 18-24 homeruns each year. McCann posted a slash line of .256/.336/.461 while helping the Braves to the NL East division title. McCann will likely receive interest from Atlanta although they may look to fill the position with other options. Other suitors could include the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies.
Mike Napoli, BOS, 1B - While Napoli's catching days are likely behind him, he played well at first base this year posting a .259/.360/.482 slash line. Napoli has expressed interest in returning to the Red Sox and Boston has interest as well, especially with a thin crop of first basemen this year. If Napoli goes elsewhere, he will likely look to stay in the AL as his three-year contract was reduced to a one year deal because of a degenerative hip condition. If he leaves, his former club, the Texas Rangers, will likely be involved.
SEE RELATED: MLB 2013 Gold Glove winners announced
Curtis Granderson, NYY, CF - Granderson was hampered by injuries in 2013, playing in just 61 games and posting a .229/.317/.407 slash line. He has struggled versus left handed pitching and would ideally be platooned, but Granderson's salary will likely not allow that. Granderson's power plays well in Yankee Stadium and he could very well re-sign with the Yankees. If Granderson leaves, teams with money to spend could include the Chicago White Sox or Seattle Mariners.
Carlos Beltran, STL, RF - Beltran provided good return on the Cardinal's investment of a two-year, $26 million contract. Beltran posted a .296/.339/.491 slash line in 2013 and will likely be able to match his last contract this offseason. The Cardinals will likely look at internal options to fill Beltran's spot by either shifting Allen Craig to right field or bringing up prized prospect Oscar Taveras to fill Beltran's position. Beltran could find a home with the New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles or Texas Rangers.
Shin-Soo Choo, CIN, CF - Choo will likely find a home as a corner outfielder, although he surpassed many people's expectations in center field for the Reds in 2013. Choo posted a .285/.423/.462 slash line heading into his free agent year and will likely draw interest from a variety of teams given his on-base skills. Cincinnati would love to have Choo back, but may hand the position over to Billy Hamilton. Suitors for Choo could include the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, New York Mets, and Chicago Cubs.

I was so impressed with this speaker that I bought a second one and they easily attach to one and other, and I can now arrange them either side of me giving a great stereo sound. In fact you can buy as many of these as you like and just keep adding them on to each other. I got about 14 hours playback on one charge of this speaker. These speakers have a very rich sound.


text: Mami Wata Admin October 7, 2012 Blog, Literature 1 Comment Mami Wata is a legend that resonates widely throughout African folklore. It is significant not only in major costal African regions but also to the African diaspora. Loosely translated, Mami Wata means 'mother water'. Though Mami Wata is the most common name of this legendary symbol, she is also referred to as Maame Wata, Mamba Muntu, and Mboze. Traces of the Mami Wata legend can be found in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leon, The Republic of Congo, South Africa, and Zambia. In parts of the African diaspora such as the Caribbean and South America she is known as Watermama, River Mama, Madre de Agua, and La Sirene. Aside from being a symbol of legends, Mami Wata is also a deity worshiped in the ancient African Voudun religion that promotes prosperity and spiritual health. In folklore, Mami Wata is a water spirit who usually appears as half woman and half fish or serpent. In some legends however; she appears fully human and functions in society as an average person. She is characterized by unusually striking and almost supernatural beautiful, with excessively long hair and a love for materialistic possessions. She has the ability to charm and entice humans. Mami Wata is often pictured grooming or admiring herself while surrounded by expensive objects in the company of her pet (usually a large python) and has an aura of sexuality and luxury about her. Because of this and her influence on African pop culture, attractive and fashionable women in West Africa are frequently referred to as Mami Wata. She represents fulfillment of desires, prosperity, spiritual and physical health, and affluence, which is the common thread in legends about her. In African legends, Mami Wata is usually associated with health and fertility but like many other African deities her actions transcend the humanistic beliefs of 'good and bad' and she is the personifications of polar opposites. She has healing ability but demands loyalty and can contrarily cause affliction on those she heals. Though Mami Wata is Barren she provides infertile women with children. These children however, possess a spiritual nature and the women that call on her become afflicted with other problems. She can bring great prosperity and equally great misfortune. In most legends, people are lured to her by her beauty or song. She then transports them into her spiritual realm (which is usually underwater). If she finds them worthy of her attention they are returned to the surface with a renewed understanding of life, spirituality and wisdom. According to legend, people who have had encounters with Mami Wata gain prosperity, good looks, affluence, and charisma (qualities that are associated with Mami Wata). In other instances, she purposely tempts sailors and fishermen with luxury items. After the men take her possessions she then visits them in dreams demanding the return of her possessions in exchange for secret sexual relationships. These men gain fortune but are not able to maintain healthy romantic relationships afterwards. Some regard the Mami Wata legend as just that, a legend, while others regard her as a loved and feared deity. Regardless of how she is viewed, she has greatly influenced African cultures as well as cultures that resulted from the diaspora. For an example, in Trinidad & Tobago, she is thought of as a guardian of nature who punishes over-zealous hunters and fishermen and in Jamaica she is the seductive siren who lures men into the depths of waters never to be seen again. Either way she symbolizes an interesting aspect of African culture and feminism. -Joy Otibu Share this:FacebookTwitterTumblrEmail little Mama Mami Wata changed my life –http://www.mwprosperityprayer.com/2012/08/22/mami-wata-the-goddess-of-prosperity-for-africa-and-its-diasporas/
