Portrait of the Jester Calabazas
Calabazas, a jester in the court of King Philip IV of Spain, had physical and mental disabilities, a state that the artist emphasizes, rather than tries to hide. While the Spanish court prized and doted upon deformed people such as Calabazas, Velázquez transformed their depiction in portraiture. This startling work uses the format of the formal, full-length court portrait to present a type of person generally perceived as marginal, and while the painting baldly holds the jester up as an oddity of nature, the work profoundly humanizes him at the same time.


text: According to a new study, kids who get more sleep at night - even a little bit - end up behaving better in school. Researchers found that small changes in daily life that allow children to add about a half hour of sleep end up helping in a big way. Parents can get their kids to sleep earlier by not allowing electronics in the bedroom and by winding the kids down a half-hour to an hour before bedtime.I try things like this all the time and bedtime at our house always seems to be a hassle.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 5/29/2003
But last night, I drove our G500 on a variety of errands around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan, hauling my dog, my niece, her boyfriend, and my friend Charley, and I was soon very tired. Tired of the effort needed to turn the steering wheel, which is akin to steering a ship, even if it's quite precise and has good feel. Tired of the stares of pedestrians, other drivers, and the folks at the Dairy Queen. (Most, I admit, seemed excited to see the big G.) Tired of the overwhelming sense of heaviness that this vehicle imparts to its driver. It's a different kind of heaviness than one detects in other big SUVs, like the Toyota Land Cruiser, which itself weighs well over 5000 pounds but manages to feel much lighter on its feet. The G500's weight and solidity are reassuring when you first drive it, but, trust me, you'll very quickly become weary of it. Certainly, anyone who can afford this $70,000 vehicle will also have lighter, more sensible vehicles in their garage, and that's a good thing: I can't imagine anyone being able to drive this all the time, every day. But I confess that the next time a big blizzard blows through Michigan, dumping a foot or two of snow, I'd love nothing more than to have a G500 in my garage.
Speaking of garages, I didn't even attempt to park the G500 in mine last night. I think it would have fit, but it's so tall (about 6.5 feet), I didn't want to take a chance of scraping the roof. And, this morning, while driving up to the sixth floor of our parking structure, I had to creep very slooooowly under a particularly low roof beam on the third floor. I opened the G500's huge sunroof and peered up at the rusty beam as we passed underneath. My relief at having made it through unscathed was diminished by an angry beeping from a car stuck behind me. I pulled over, put on my hazards, and motioned for them to pass. The little red Honda del Sol zipped by, and I fell in behind it, still moving slowly. As I rounded the next corner, the del Sol was right in front of me, sideways, as its driver maneuvered it into a parking spot. I had to brake, and as I did so, I realized how easy it would have been simply to shove the del Sol out of the way with the big G500: I'd hardly feel a thing, perched up in my magnificent Mercedes throne! But I pushed those anti-social thoughts out of my head, trundled up to the sixth floor, and gave the G500 driver's door one last satisfying CLUNK shut.

Extra-inning Wrigley compromise: 2 signs shrink, fireworks snuffed
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com July 11, 2013 12:01AM
Artist rendering of the Wrigley Field outfield signs and renovations during dusk

Updated: August 12, 2013 11:55AM
The Commission on Chicago Landmarks will meet Thursday to approve two massive outfield signs pivotal to renovating Wrigley Field without a public subsidy, but they'll be smaller than the team had in mind.
Instead of building a 6,000-square-foot video scoreboard in left field, the Cubs have settled for 4,500 square feet. The Jumbotron will be 95 feet wide, down from 100 feet, meaning five feet less of rooftop blockage. The back will be tailor-made to blend in with the 99-year-old stadium's restored exterior.
Instead of putting up a 1,000-square-foot see-through sign in right field that might move or rotate, the team will get a static 650-square-foot see-through sign.
And while the team has held out the possibility of setting off fireworks to celebrate home runs — just as they do at U.S. Cellular Field — sources said City Hall will not authorize pyrotechnics at Wrigley.
Local Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) had demanded that the Cubs reduce the Jumbotron to 4,000 square feet; shrink the see-through sign to 650 square feet; scrap a pedestrian bridge over Clark Street connecting a Cubs-built hotel to the team's new office building; drop the hotel's outdoor patio deck over Patterson Street, and shift hotel "lobby activity" from Patterson to either Clark or Addison.
He also had demanded that the Cubs scrap plans to extend the right- and left-field walls outward to provide more interior space for concessions and concourses and minimize the impact of outfield signs on rooftop views.
The Landmarks Commission overrode him last month on the enlarged stadium footprint. Tunney's other demands will be dealt with by the Chicago Plan Commission and the City Council's Zoning Committee.
The sign compromise follows marathon negotiations between the Cubs and Tunney brokered by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
It represents a middle ground that still leaves the Cubs with enough revenue to bankroll a $300 million renovation without a direct subsidy involving taxpayer dollars.
Tunney didn't get all that he wanted, which is why rooftop club owners are still expected to oppose the outfield signs for fear they would block their bird's-eye view of Wrigley and violate an agreement with 10 years left to run that requires them to share 17 percent of their revenues with the team.
But the imminent threat of a rooftop lawsuit appears to have subsided.
"The alderman fought hard, and he got a lot of wins here. He wanted the right field sign to be stationary. He was afraid it would be mobile. There will be no fireworks like Comiskey Park. He wanted to make sure the back of the video board would look nice," said a source close the negotiations.
"The mayor's been working with both sides trying to get each side's points stressed and hit a landing spot that addresses everybody's primary concern," the source said. "No one is getting everything they want, but there are definite wins here for the alderman. And the Cubs will go forward with signs that help them fund the rehabilitation of the ballpark."
Earlier this week, Emanuel emerged from what he called a "very good meeting" with Tunney to say they were "just a few feet away — and I mean literally just a few feet away — from a win-win situation."
Emanuel had talked before about being in the "final stages" of a Wrigley deal, only to have marathon negotiations hit a snag. But this time, home plate really was in sight.
Last month, the Commission on Chicago Landmarks approved a master plan for 45,000 square feet of "new or existing" Wrigley signage, but withheld approval of the two biggies in the outfield.
The vote on those two signs was put off to give Tunney and the Cubs two more weeks to strike the deal that has now been reached.
Tunney's ever-changing demands had fueled speculation that the mayor might need to play political hardball to deliver a $500 million private investment by the Ricketts family that would translate into thousands of jobs.
Emanuel tried to put that speculation to rest by defending Tunney, even though he clearly leaned on the alderman a bit to deliver the final product.
"The alderman has been a tireless advocate for a better traffic system, better safety system, a better investment in the community [by] the Cubs and a better traffic and parking [plan]. And he has been tireless about making sure that his community would also be a winner in this. Those investments would make them a winner," Emanuel said. "I think there's a way to upgrade Wrigley Field to the 21st century. And the Ricketts will also see that type of ability to do that in a way that is complementary to the entire stadium. I believe Thursday we will make progress in advancing both of those goals."
Several legislative hurdles remain. The Wrigley project still must be approved by the Chicago Plan Commission and the City Council. But the two biggest roadblocks — those giant outfield signs — have now been cleared.

Gordon Brown demands exit timetable in return for 2,000 more troops
Joe Murphy and Robert Fox
Gordon Brown is preparing to send more troops to Afghanistan if other
countries agree to increase their deployments.
Up to 2,000 extra soldiers would be earmarked to train the Afghan army
to take on the Taliban, speeding up the eventual withdrawal of British
forces, currently 9,000 strong.
The idea of a "send them in, train them up and get out" strategy could
receive cross-party backing.
Senior Tories are pressing the idea with David Cameron being advised by
military chiefs that it is the quickest way to quit Afghanistan.
Decisions will be taken after US commander General Stanley McChrystal
publishes his long-delayed new strategic plan, which has gone through
dozens of drafts because of wrangling over troops numbers between
Mr Brown, who defied American pressure to promise extra troops this
year, has now joined Germany's Angela Merkel and French president
Nicolas Sarkozy in calling for a UN summit that would set "milestones"
towards a withdrawal.
Some sources say Mr Brown used his recent meeting with General
McChrystal in Afghanistan to lay down a demand that the general issued a
plan with a proper timetable leading to a clear exit strategy for
British combat forces.
The plan, due next week, is expected to call for thousands more American
and European troops and civilian aid advisers to be sent to Afghanistan.
High-level meetings are to be held in Washington and Afghanistan itself
before the plan is unveiled next week.
A senior government source said Mr Brown was very concerned that any
extra British contribution would be matched by a big increase in numbers
from France, which has 3,000 troops in the country, and Germany, which
is due to have more than 4,400 by the end of the year.
"Burden sharing is very important," said the source. "The meeting in
Afghanistan was very much about the shape of General McChrystal's report
and to agree the importance of Afghanistan."
A spokesman for Mr Cameron said: "We have always said that if there was
a request for more troops we should look at it sympathetically."
However, the cross-party consensus on Afghanistan was under mounting
strain with the growing evidence of mass fraud in the presidential
Shadow foreign secretary William Hague said the mission could backfire
if troops were seen to be propping up a corrupt government. He warned:
"We may fatally undermine our standing in the eyes of Afghans if we are
seen to rubber-stamp disputed election results which disenfranchise
sections of the population."
More than 2,000 allegations of voting fraud are being probed - including
a claim that a tribe of 30,000 people were deprived of their votes.
Whitehall sources denied they would endorse the election result before
it was approved by an independent UN-backed election commission.
President Hamid Karzai claims to be ahead by about 54 per cent to 28.
But his rival Abdullah Abdullah said he was the victim of mass cheating.

"THERE'S so much more to being a musician than simply reading the written music. As notes on a page, they are just a road map – the skeleton of the subject. Musicianship involves not only the skill to play the written notes accurately, but also the intuitive process of learning to interpret and translate the spaces between the notes. Technicians play every note correctly, but true musicians have learned to actually communicate the emotional characteristics of the music – to truly move the listener – to tug at their very soul."

text: Several years ago I bought a Cuisinart blender/food processor from Bed Bath & Beyond. I didn't use it much; its small, didn't have a lot of power, and I was afraid I would blow the engine. I used the processor part less than 5 times total. Last week I tried to make a smoothie with it and stripped the gears so after Hubby inspected it we threw it out and I determined to get a good blender in my price range. We went a few places but ended up back at BBB even though I thought they would be out of my price range. A salesperson asked if we needed help, so I explained the stripped gear. She told us that if we bought it at BBB they would give us store credit for the broken machine. Nice Hubby dug it out of the trash, we cleaned it up and returned it the next day. No box, receipt, proof of purchase etc. The credited us $80. {which I think is more than I paid but I probably used a coupon then also} The cheapest food processor they had was $99 :eek: so I bought that one. The 20% off coupon make it $89. They didn't have on in the store so they shipped one to my house, for free, from NV, even though I'm sure another store here in Memphis had one. We went to the front to pay the $9 balance and they said we didn't own them anything!! My processor arrived today! Hubby and I were very impressed with the service and lengths the store and employees went on our behalf.

It was probably 2005 the first time I was called "Brad Miller" during a basketball game, which is actually a compliment if you think about it, since 2005 Brad Miller was really good. This was the first time I'd really had a beard, which my then-girlfriend hated, one of the many reasons we broke up. I was tall for a normal person, a decent passer for a center-ish guy, I took a lot of top of the key threes and wore a headband. It made a lot of sense. I was certainly familiar with Brad before then — first from a Cuonzo Martin-led Purdue team that my uncle loved, then from his first stint with the Bulls when Shaquille O'Neal almost killed him — but this was the first time I really had a definable game that could be favorably compared to an NBA All-Star.
Around this time, blogs were happening. You guys know about blogs, right? Sure you do. Right after I graduated from college, I got a boring desk job and really went in on the internetosphere. Round about the same time, Brad Miller, for reasons that have not yet been clearly explained, got his hair braided for an exhibition game against the SuperSonics. Now, you are not going to believe the next few words you are going to read, but they are absolutely true — I had cornrows my senior year of high school. There are pictures at my mom's house that prove this, but I can't get them right now, so just trust me on this. Big white dude who can't run or jump wearing a headband and cornrows? That's me. I'm hooked. Brad Miller fan for life.
You probably don't think of Brad Miller as an internet superstar. He's not going to dunk on anybody or send a shot in to the fifth row. His highlights are going to be subtle things, like the world's slowest pump fake leading to a foul and some free throws. But that's when the magic happens. Brad pulls the slow pump fake, gets fouled, goes to the line and winks at the guy who fouled him, the guy who already feels like an idiot because they fell for Brad Miller's one move. That's great stuff, hilarious stuff — the kind of things that make him seem like a normal dude who plays professional basketball because he happens to be seven feet tall.
And that's the allure for me. Even though he's obviously one of the most skilled people on the planet, he really just seems like any ordinary guy. He gets outran by Chris Kaman. He's nearly in tears when he botches the ending of a game three times in the final 30 seconds. He has an award-winning outdoors show. He shows up to introductory press conferences in camouflage shorts and wears camouflage ankle tape during games. He celebrates clutch threes like he's from Compton even though he grew up in an Indiana town with a population under 10,000. (That clip is also the top non-Jordan basketball moment in my life. Shout outs to Graydon Gordian, Eamonn Brennan and Ryan Corazza for going through that relevant life experience with me.) There's not much better than a guy who is totally and completely himself, even if it means he's the NBA's only redneck gangsta.
Now he's retiring at season's end, literally to work on his outdoors show, which is the most Brad Miller way to leave. He hasn't done much the past two seasons, thanks to a microfracture surgery that probably affected him less than any other player in the history of knees. Robbing someone of their athleticism when they're already broke doesn't change much. He's just old now and he wants to go hunting. Helping mentor Kevin Love is cool and all, but taking your millions of dollars and using it to produce a television show of you and your friends doing something you love? That's awesome. I'll miss him being in the league so much, but I can't blame him at all for going in to chill mode.
One last story before I wrap this thing up in tearful flurry of appreciation. It's December 29, 2009 and the Denver Nuggets are playing in Chicago. Kirk Hinrich fouls Chauncey Billups with less than a second remaining, sending an 89 percent career free throw shooter to the game to break a 89-89 tie, so I turn to my wife, mom and sister and say something along the lines of "He never misses free throws, we can go." So we start heading for the doors as Chauncey knocks down the first free throw like you'd expect. Then, somewhat surprisingly, he missed the second. He said it was on purpose, but I don't know. Whatever the case, the Bulls have 0.3 seconds to make something amazing happen, so I convince the ladies that we should stay. It's just 0.3 seconds after all.
That's when this happens.
For maybe two minutes, this was the greatest moment of my life. My favorite player making an unthinkable buzzer-beater and I'm there? Come on. That's perfect. I'm texting everyone — my dad, my buddy Nick, Kelly Dwyer. Anyone I know who's a Bulls fan got a "BRAD MILLER GAME-WINNER AND I'M THERE" text that night. I'm delirious, just loving this moment so much.
As you know, the shot didn't count, news broken to me by a very apologetic Dwyer before the refs made a ruling. Didn't matter. Still an incredible thing to happen in front of your face, nearly toppling witnessing Dennis Rodman's only career triple-double when I was 12.
If I could, I'd find a way to say this shot was like Brad Miller's career, that he did everything he could but came up a tad bit short in the end. But that's not really true because no one thinks of Brad Miller like that. He's just a dude. He doesn't need a narrative. He came in to the league undrafted after having played half of a season in Italy during the 1998 lockout, then went on to play 14 seasons and made two All-Star appearances, played on the transitional 2006 Team USA that everyone forgets about and proved that a complete lack of athleticism doesn't mean you can't play in the NBA. That's a solid career, to say the least.
People ask me if it's a joke that I love Brad Miller as much as I do. It's not. He's the chillest bro in the NBA and I really can't think of a better compliment. See you in the great outdoors, Duck.

PUNE: Additional sessions judge V K Shewale on Wednesday framed charges against bus driver Santosh Mane (40) who, on January 25, had hijacked an empty MSRTC bus and driven it recklessly for almost 14 km, killing nine people and injuring 37.
The court framed charges against Mane after he pleaded not guilty in the presence of his newly-appointed Satara-based lawyer Dhananjay Mane. The case has been kept for formal hearing on June 21.
Additional public prosecutor Kashinath Dighe told TOI that the charges were framed under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
Dighe said that Mane was not suffering from a mental illness and was fit to stand trial. The charges against him were framed on the basis of the charges levelled against him in the chargesheet. When the case came up for hearing, the court had not altered or deleted any of the charges levelled against Mane, he added.
Mane's murderous drive had killed Pooja Patil, Ram Shukla, Shubhangi More, Pinkesh Khandewal, Ankush Tikone, Akshay Pise, Milind Gaikwad, Shweta Oswal and Chandeo Bhandwalkar.
A resident of Solapur, Mane had been working at Swargate depot since 2009. He lived alone at the depot's restroom. His wife had died a few years ago, after which he remarried. His second wife and children live in Solapur. Mane is currently lodged at Yerawada central prison.

TUCSON - Ali Albazergan left Sadaam Hussein's army in Iraq more than 20 years ago. "To be honest it was just a relief to leave Iraq," Albazergan said.
His plan was to become a U.S. Citizen, but the American government isn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Immigration officials claim Albazergan is a persecutor, but right now he feels like the one being persecuted.
After serving in the Iraqi army for 10 years, Albazergan and his family escaped to California. They now live in Tucson. Albazergan's wife and daughter are now citizens, so is their 13-year-old son. who was born in this country, but 20 years later, Albazergan is facing deportation, "This is a nightmare," he said.
Adding to his stress, Albazergan hasn't seen his aging parents since 1989. "I'd like to see them. I'd like to hug my dad and hug my mom. If something happens to them I'm going to feel guilty," Albazergan said, choking back the tears.
He can't go see his parents, because without a green card he wouldn't be allowed to return to his family here in Tucson. His application for legal status has been denied because the government says Albazergan "may" be a persecutor of others. "They say maybe. Maybe, it makes my life for 20 years a nightmare," Albazergan said.
Albazergan admits his army unit did participate in the execution of Kurds, but Albazergan says he was an unarmed cook and driver in the army, and he never persecuted anyone. "If they have anything against me, let them face it to me, tell me, Ali. Because of this and that we're not giving it to you. My lawyer tells me don't worry Ali, nothing against you," Albazergan said.
Maurice Goldman, Albazergan's immigration attorney told News 4 Tucson the same thing: "Our contention is that they have not provided or had any evidence, credible evidence, to demonstrate this."
News 4 Tucson requested an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, they declined, saying they will not talk about any specific case. They did send us an email, which reads in part: "Our goal is to provide the right immigration benefit to the right person."
Albazergan and his family were back in court Friday morning and once again his case has been pushed back until July of next year.

IFL team releases Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens' tenure in the Indoor Football League came to an unceremonious end Tuesday when the Allen Wranglers released the controversial former NFL receiver.
Owens signed with the Wranglers in February, receiving a six-figure salary and an ownership stake in the franchise located about 30 minutes north of Dallas. Owner Jon Frankel said Owens' ownership stake has been terminated because he violated his contract.
Frankel cited Owens' refusal to play in two upcoming road games that are critical to the Wranglers' playoff hopes and Owens' no-show for a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital as the breaking points in the team's relationship with the receiver.
"Our fans are amongst the best in the league, and it is impossible to maintain a player when even our fans notice and comment on a player's lack of effort both on and off the field," Frankel said in a statement released to ESPNDallas.com. "We need to do what is best for this team, our fans and this community."
Owens, who was not required to play in all of the Wranglers' road games, released a statement through his publicist late Tuesday night. "I appreciate the opportunity that Mr. Frankel gave me and wish the Allen Wranglers all the best moving forward," he said.
The statement called the manner in which Owens was released "unfortunate." It said Owens played all games according to his contract and that his legal team is addressing details of the Wranglers' news release but that Owens' representatives could not comment beyond that. It also said Owens is focused on returning to the NFL.
"It's disappointing and unfortunate, but [he] could no longer be tolerated by the Wrangler organization.
" -- Allen Wranglers owner Jon Frankel
on releasing Terrell Owens
The 38-year-old Owens, whose tenures with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys all ended acrimoniously, had hoped that playing for the Wranglers could help him get back in the NFL. He received no interest from NFL teams last season despite ranking second all-time in receiving yards (15,934), fourth in touchdowns (156) and sixth in catches (1,078).
Wranglers general manager and former Cowboys great Drew Pearson believes Owens could still play in the NFL, if his performance was the only indicator.
"It's very difficult to get back into the NFL, especially at that age," Pearson told the "Ben & Skin Show" on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM on Wednesday morning. "To me, there's no question he could play in the NFL. When I see these receivers that are playing, there is no question Terrell could still play in the NFL. But it's not what happens between the lines with Terrell, unfortunately. It's how he handles things outside the lines."
Owens played one season each for the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals after being released by the Cowboys after the 2008 season despite being one year into a four-year, $34 million contract extension. He caught 72 passes for 983 yards and nine touchdowns for the Bengals in 2010.
After Owens recovered from knee surgery to repair a torn ACL he suffered after the 2010 season, agent Drew Rosenhaus organized a nationally televised workout to prove his client was healthy. No scouts attended the workout.
Owens caught 35 passes for 420 yards and 10 touchdowns in eight games for the Wranglers.
"It's disappointing and unfortunate," Frankel said of releasing Owens, "but [he] could no longer be tolerated by the Wrangler organization."

About Natalie Jean
I'm a vegetarian graduate student, doing my best to live and eat healthy on a dime. I go to school in the rural midwest, and have recently started approaching cooking as both a silly and serious personal survival tactic. I live in an area that lacks the many vegetarian-friendly restaurant options that I grew up with at home, so a lot of my recipes will be a reflection of my own attempts at recreating those favorite ethnic meals. Those recipes should definitely not be considered authentic by any stretch of the imagination!
I always prefer cooking with fresh ingredients - especially when it comes to vegetables, fruit, and cheese. I'll definitely subsitute frozen or prepared foods when I'm really trying to stretch my money, and/or when I know it will save me loads of time.
I think one of the healthiest things I do everytime I go grocery shopping is alwaysalwaysalways buying the available whole grain option, no matter if it is blue box macaroni and cheese, brown rice, cereal, or simply a loaf of bread. Always starting off with healthy "base foods," like your grains, is one of the best ways to get in the right mindset for making future healthy food choices.
My ultimate secret weapon for cooking is to use cresent roll dough! You can make any kind of crust, pocket, wrap, or bundle you'll need for any meal of the day, no matter if it is a sweet or savory dish, a main course or an appetizer. The best part is that it will taste better than any pre-made dough you'd unthaw or bake - and you can make it extra healthy by using the reduced fat versions available in the grocery. I normally use oil and spices to coat the dough when I'm making a savory dish, and vanilla flavoring and sugar when creating a sweet dish.
I love experimenting, testing, and tweaking new (and old!) recipes, so if you have a dish you'd think I'd enjoy and like for me to review, please send me a message and I'll test it out!
red peppers, yogurt, feta cheese, zucchini, cresent roll dough, orange sherbet, butternut squash, spinach, goat cheese

Alison Lundergan Grimes' campaign website unveiled its "issues" page today, which quite a few liberal Kentuckians might, in fact, take issue with.
The page lead off with energy, and to the surprise of few, it is all about taking on Obama's so-called "War on Coal":
"I strongly oppose President Obama's attack on Kentucky's energy industry. This Administration has taken direct aim at Kentucky's coal industry, crippling our state's largest source of domestic energy and threatening thousands of jobs. Washington Democrats and Republicans need to be realistic about what powers our nation and recognize that developing Kentucky's supplies of coal is crucial."
In the world of reality, it's actually the plummeting price of natural gas and the free market that's doing the heavy lifting on the coal industry's decline. But hey, we're dealing with Kentucky Democrats here, so to them I say…
Many Kentucky liberals were expecting this from Grimes on coal, but hoping they'd be able to hold their nose on this issue while continuing to proudly support Grimes because she'll have a liberal stance on most other issues. While Grimes comes out against the Paul Ryan Medicare plan and privatization schemes for this and Social Security, the next section, "cutting spending," will raise some eyebrows:
"I believe that there is a responsible path to balancing the budget. We need to start by going line-by-line through the budget to cut waste, fraud and abuse and we must ensure that tax dollars are being used smartly and efficiently. Nearly 680 renewable energy initiatives across 23 federal agencies and their 130 sub-agencies costing taxpayers $15 billion is certainly not an efficient use of taxpayer dollars. [7] I also believe that we can make our Medicare and Medicaid programs more efficient without slashing coverage. Medicare spending is unsustainable. But rather than pushing for privatization, or vouchers, or shifting costs to seniors – supported by Mitch McConnell – we should be looking for ways to spend smarter on our entire health care system. And to ensure our country never goes into debt again, I will fight in the U.S. Senate to pass a balanced budget amendment."
A balanced budget amendment remains possibly — as Ezra Klein called it — "the worst idea in Washington." Or, as Reagan economic adviser Bruce Bartlett called it, "quite possibly the stupidest constitutional amendment I think I have ever seen. It looks like it was drafted by a couple of interns on the back of a napkin." It all sounds so lovely — and maybe Grimes will come up with one of those half-baked, Blue Dog Democrat alternative "balanced budget amendments" that isn't as bad but still makes zero sense — but it's simply horrible policy. Maybe Grimes will fill us in on where the massive cuts in the federal budget will come from in order to balance the budget this quickly, or maybe she'll just go the whole nine yards and endorse cut, cap and balance. Or maybe it's just a campaign platitude that sounds good to conservative Democrats and means absolutely nothing.
As for the liberal policy stances on this page… well, there aren't any that I can see. There's no defense of any particular part of the Affordable Care Act, and no talk of regulating Wall Street. In fact, regulation is only mentioned in terms of eliminating it to create jobs. And opposing the privatization of Social Security and Medicare isn't liberal… that's completely mainstream common sense.
I'm sure Grimes will espouse some liberal positions during the campaign — she's already come out for the Violence Against Women Act and equal pay protections, though those are also very mainstream — but what we're seeing here is the very public attempt to separate herself from President Obama and position herself in Kentucky's political center. Highlighting plans like a balanced budget amendment and vilifying regulation may accomplish this in theory, unless 1) conservative voters don't buy it and are convinced by the millions of dollars worth of TV ads attacking her as a commie/Obama liberal, and 2) enough Kentucky liberals totally check out from the race and sit at home next November and drag away thousands of potential votes in Louisville and Lexington to affect the outcome in a close race.
But I'd guess that most liberals will be completely disgusted by this, yet vote for Grimes anyway because of three words: Addison Mitchell McConnell. Only time will tell…

Of the halves into which golf is divided—hitting the ball and putting it—the latter is easily the more mysterious. It's simple enough to watch Tiger Woods drive the ball and realize that there is no way a normal body can deliver a clubhead squarely to a golf ball at 125 miles an hour, as his body can. Putting would appear to be another matter. It's no more taxing, physically, than walking to the corner for a loaf of bread.
So why can't we roll the ball into the hole?Why is the average golfer no closer to the accuracy of the world's best putters than he is to the length of Tiger Woods?
Barrington, Rhode Island, is a good place to look for the answers to such questions. It's a pleasant, unpretentious town by the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay, full of stout frame houses on modest lawns. A sea breeze blows over the marshes at the edge of town. If one rings the bell at a particular cedar-sided house with a brightly colored children's play gym in the backyard and a Toyota in the driveway, one of the world's best putters opens the door.
Brad Faxon—who may in fact be the world's best putter—does not immediately look like a putting authority. He is dressed in a sweatshirt, a hat that says HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL and jeans, the sort of jeans that have acquired their faded look in the sun and in the wash, not at the factory. He looks rather like a trim, sandy-haired young executive spending a leisurely Sunday at home.
But there is plenty of evidence to show that he is a great putter. A couple of years ago, he recorded a season-long average for putts per green in regulation of 1.704. Put another way, that meant that in the year 2000, Faxon sank about 30 percent of the birdie putts he looked at. It was the best statistical putting year the Tour had ever recorded.
Putting statistics, of course, can be skewed by such factors as how close to the pin a player hits his irons. They also don't show how many clutch putts a player makes. But Faxon's reputation among his peers is, if anything, better than his stats. "He's as good as it gets out here," says Jeff Sluman. "Even when he misses, the putts look good."

I've just booked my flights to the Philippines and Taiwan over the summer break.
Some of you may know this already, but I'll be in the Philippines over new years for a debating tournament, then I'll visit my parents in Taiwan.
Re Parents:
Oh my God, I have not seen them in so long. Nor have I made much mention of them in my journals. It has been almost two years since I saw them. The last time I saw my dad was at my high school graduation, he flew over. Yes, I know I'm a grown boy now, and you tend to see your parents less and less... But two years? And they're technologically retarded and don't know how to operate Skype so I only talk to them over the phone.
But holy crap two years right, and I haven't even thought about it until now. I mean, even when I was younger every time I saw them they age so visibly and it scares me. I really don't know what else to say about them. Maybe just how I never think I knew them? And how they never knew me and still don't know me.
I hope they remarry. Especially my mother. She sounds so lonely sometimes over the phone, this middle aged woman complaining to a son she stopped living with since he was ten. I don't know where my concern comes from, if it is filial love or simple compassion. Oh man I don't know if I can stand seeing them, this is going to be so weird.
Re life in general:
My exams are almost over. I have finished my philosophy and two law exams, and I have two politics ones left. One of them is on global governance, and the other one is on rights and drugs and all that sort of stuff. I suddenly have this urge to share my work on here, so if people are interested I can post my essays. I know elph you will be interested, but it might interest you swimmerguy as well.
I just feel like getting drunk you know? I'm still recovering from my breakup. My friends have been really supportive, and I feel so much more free now. I remember the good things but now also the bad. I remember how he would disapprove of the partying, drinking and just things I enjoy like debating and intellectualising. Not even the german play I was in, he got so bored when I asked to practise with him. And slowly I've adapted to it without knowing.
But now I've regained my confidence, I've started going out again, doing things I love again, meeting new people and trying new things. I am going to learn hebrew with my friend. I also tried speed for the first time the other day, it was alright. I am going overseas.
But sometimes you miss just having that someone you know. Oh man, But I'm not sure how long it'll take before I can open up to someone like that again. I actually thought he was the one.
That's it, signing off now. Good night all. I hope I won't regret this decision to open up a bit more.
Your essays have always reflected quite refreshing insight... no matter the topic!
Please... whenever you're ready!
I'd also expect that swimmerguy would not disagree...
Exams soon behind you, representing your university at WUDC in Philippines, long vacation, and reunion with parents... so much to look forward to!
Enjoy... and return refreshed (but don't change too much)! :)
I am actually so excited for wudc. I am like the biggest nerd out there. I can't wait to rant to strangers about things like religion and military intervention and economic theory...
It's important to remember that every relationship fails, until one doesn't. Relationship longevity is measured in hindsight, not in anticipation.
The important bit is not to resist opening up so that you don't get hurt, because then you also restrict your ability to connect.
If you hurt after a breakup, it usually indicates you're doing things correctly. The next step is giving the next guy a clean shot in, as well, and not letting things callous over to dull the pain.
Joy and pain can be felt in equal measure, so the more you hurt, you're also learning your capacity for joy, just in a shitty way.
"You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks" - Dawes, When My Time Comes (http://youtu.be/Z0FrcTX6hWI)
it's strange though, how one adapts to a person they love, only to be loved back
I've always enjoyed your writings. I know how you feel w/ your parents man, i feel the same way every time I see my dad. I do so out of kindness and compassion, not necessarily out of love for him. It's awkward.
I hope your coffee date w/ this new guy goes well dude. PS, I may be travelling to Manila as well, if I can scrape together the funds.
Hope all is well w/ you max, it's been a while.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
hey... my comments are unspecific, but just wanted to pop and say it was nice to catch up on your life. ^.^
Just want to say thank you to all those who commented. Really appreciate it.
Not much to say that hasn't already been said, that I know, considering I know absolutely jack shit about relationships, although hopefully that'll be changing soon... But I dunno.
Anyway, I second everything everyone else said, it was good to see what you've been doing.

Can any of you ID a datura just by looking at the seeds? I received some seed pods, they were prickly, and it popped open to reveal pretty yellow seeds growing just like they do in a bell pepper. I've attached a picture I found on the internet http://www.eastsidepatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC07235-1024x576.jpg |

I have some single white that have seed pods that look exactly like that. Could be Inoxia, but could also be Datura Wrightii. From what I understand, there are only subtle differences in the two. I wish that I could tell you the differences, but it's going to take someone more knowledgeable than I. |

The Southeastern EMS Directors Association recently kicked off its 18th Annual Emergency Medical Services Conference with an EMS Awards Banquet at the Chattanooga Choo Choo.
Emergency responders from all over Southeast Tennessee and beyond converge on the Choo Choo every year for what has become one of the largest EMS symposiums in the state.
Multiple submissions for different award categories were sent in and judged by an independent group of judges.
The first award Bradley County received was the Medical Call of the Year presented to critical care paramedic Chris Painter, paramedic Nick Laney, and emergency medical technician Chris Ballard. The award was presented by Robbie Tester, Erlanger Life Force medevac helicopter director.
The trio were recognized for their heroic efforts in the successful CPR save of Joan Brewer on Sept. 12, 2013.
Bradley County EMS also received the Pediatric Call of the Year honors. It was presented to EMT Winston Wright, paramedic JR First, critical care paramedic Chris Painter, and paramedic Matt Wittmaier. The award was presented by Joel Dishroon, the pediatric outreach educator at Children's Hospital at Erlanger.
The award was for the response to a bicycle accident on April 10, 2013, involving then 11-year-old Jeffery Hussey.
EMS Region 3 in Southeast Tennessee has 26 licensed ambulance services. Bradley County Emergency Medical Service was selected as the Service of the Year for this region.
EMS Chief Danny Lawson proudly accepted the crystal vase trophy presented by Debra Cox, the Region 3 EMS Consultant
"We have strived as a service to provide the best care possible to our patients for over 30 years. The men and women who provide this care are why our EMS service is of the caliber that it is," noted Danny Lawson, EMS chief.

Morgan Moses – Tackle – Virginia
Moses is a fifth-year senior and a four-year starter for Virginia. He started 43 games and has played both right and left tackle. 2013 was the first season he played at left tackle. He also played in the 2014 Senior Bowl where he lined up at left tackle.
Moses has great size. At the Senior Bowl, he measured 6061 – 325 with 34.75" arms. He is a massive man with good upper and lower bulk. He is a good, but not great, athlete for his size. He has good straight-line quickness and speed, but his change of direction is average, especially when he plays in space. The one thing that stands out is his balance. He is seldom on the ground.
Moses plays form mostly a two-point stance but will line up in a three-point at times. Watching tape, I like the way he comes off the ball better when he comes out of a three-point stance. Morgan is more strong than explosive but because of his size and strength he is able to generate movement with run blocks. He is best when making a down block or when his opponent lines up head up on him. He has long arms with good hand use and keeps his feet moving on contact. He struggles getting out to the second level. He looks mechanical trying to adjust on the move and doesn't consistently make a productive block. He will miss on occasion. He does a better job with pulls. While he still looks a bit mechanical and is not very fast, he is efficient.
In pass protection, he can set with good quickness and has a strong punch. While he doesn't have great lateral agility, he knows how to keep good position on his opponent. He shows he can play with some bend, but he would be better served if played with a little more knee bend. Moses can shuffle his feet and recover back to the inside versus counter moves. He gets in trouble when he gets tall and doesn't have proper position. He then tends to over extend to stay with the block. Because of his size and bulk, he can be difficult to bull rush.
I don't see Moses playing left tackle in the NFL. His athleticism is more conducive to playing on the right side. He will be an early starter in the league and, perhaps, a rookie starter. If there is a run on offensive linemen like last year, he has a chance to get drafted in the first round, but I believe his true value is in the top 10 picks of the second round.

Hats are head coverings worn by men, women, and children that over history have served many purposes, from describing a person's social stature, to protecting against the elements, and, of course, as a fashion statement. One of the first known paintings of a hat appears in an ancient Thebes tomb where a man is depicted in a coolie straw hat. Other recognizable hats such as skullcaps date back to Greek and Roman times. Women wore veils, hoods, and caps. Men's structured hats quickly followed. Women were wearing similar structured hats by the late 16th century. Out of the Italian city of Milan came the term "Milliner" in the 18th century. Traditionally a woman's occupation, milliners created hats with the finest fabrics and trim. Over the years hats have changed with times, meeting the needs and fashion trends of the period. Today there are an endless variety of hats available from cowboy hats and fedoras to women's sun hats and winter beanies.

Along with their fabulous Bullhide hat collection, they also produce a line of fashion forward leather jackets, Ruidoso brand. All of their products combine western flair and urban style to create a look that's uniquely Monte Carlo. Bullhide carries the exclusive Terri Clark line and Justin Moore line for true country music fans.
Sons Samir and Jorge Cury have carried on their father's tradition of master craftsmanship, quality, and detailing to today's younger generation of hat enthusiasts. Their up-to-the-minute designs integrate the original techniques passed down by past Hatters dating back to 1949. Special attention is put into each hat to insure distinctive design, value, fit, and finish.
Every Bullhide hat body has a hand dipped coating applied to it. The result is a finish that is hard-wearing, water-repellant and easily cleaned. Some companies run their hats through air-dryers, not Monte Carlo. Each hat is air dried, which takes a little longer but allows for a uniform curing of the stiffener. This prevents flaking and cracking. Then hats are blocked using a combination of pressure, heat, and of course care, giving each hat its final form and size. After trimming to the proper brim length and adding shapeable wires, each hat receives its exclusive finish.
Bullhide by Montecarlo hats are finished by hand which produces a unique look. Slight variations may occur due to material availability and their hand airbrushing method. Each item must pass their stringent quality control inspections.
Due to high volume, made to order items are currently taking anywhere from 4-6 weeks for production. We apologize for the delay and encourage you to call customer service for details.The Charlie 1 Horse Hat Company makes western fashion hats.

a personal favourite of mine is Dâm-Funk Vs. Kanye/Jay-Z/Tyler on artists using the "N word" in their work.
Dâm-Funk: "I'm tired of people making songs like 'Niggas in Paris'. You've got millionaires like Kanye and Jay-Z who still have the nerve to use that kind of word and have the whole world running around talking about niggas in Paris. What are you doing? You got millions, fool. What are you doing making my race look bad? You don't ever hear people say 'Kikes in Paris', 'Chinks in Paris', 'Wetbacks in Paris'? So why do you degrade my race and my people? I'm tired of it, I'm not degrading my black people in my music, I won't. I won't be like those other coons doing it right now."
