Q&A: Rocco Baldelli
Rocco Baldelli spent seven years in the big leagues before calling it quits after the 2010 season. Upon his retirement, the Tampa Bay Rays brought their former first-round draft pick into the front office, where he now serves in the role of baseball operations special assistant. We tracked down Baldelli after a panel at this year's MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, and asked about adjusting to a new role, his early embrace of analytics, and the benefits of working with an open-minded manager.
You work in a front office that's limited in terms of high-level baseball playing experience. Did you feel that was something you could bring to the table, having played in the majors very recently, then bringing that experience right upstairs?
Maybe Andrew [Friedman] was thinking that. At the time I was just interested in working in the front office. But I've always been interested in this aspect of the game. When I was a young player, I would talk with [Rays scouting director] R.J. Harrison about things. This was when I was at A-ball.
That's not usual for a player.
No. I was more focused in what was happening on the field, of course. But I was interested in going through the process, learning more — even negotiating a contract. I did that with Andrew. Over sushi. Most players, I'm sure, aren't super-interested in things like that. But I know I was.
Did you try to use that kind of thought process as a player? Maybe study hot zones as a hitter, things like that?
I think I would say I was an open-minded player. If you're not open-minded to it, it's not going to help. Some players are reactionary athletes; maybe it's a good thing they don't clutter their minds with excessive information. I'd be interested in trying to find ways to work with players and make them better through some [advanced concepts]. But I don't know if we're completely at that point yet.
Having played with several members of the current Rays team, are you able to serve as a liaison between the front office and the team? Or do you stay away from the clubhouse?
I don't spend too much time in the clubhouse. Sometimes it's sensitive, depending on what you want to talk about, being a member of the front office talking to a player. But I do go in sometimes. These are my friends, guys I spent a lot of time with. I've known a lot of these guys for a long time. I don't try to eliminate contact, I would never do that, because these are people I enjoy being with. But sometimes when dealing with baseball issues, it's best to just let the players do what they do.
What about Joe Maddon — having been around him for a few years, is the idea of his open-mindedness to new ideas and advanced metrics for real, or is it overblown?
It's definitely not overblown. It's the essence of him. The way Joe works with Andrew and everyone else is very unique. Our staff is built around Joe being open-minded. I'm not saying that old-school coaches and managers can't win. There are some phenomenal baseball minds out there who've been around for a long time. But with our young group, and the way we've had to build our organization, Joe is a perfect fit.
This being your first time at this conference, what's your impression of this whole scene?
Just sitting there, listening to Bill James talk … the things that come out of his mouth, they're not normal. They're not things that you normally think about when you sit around watching a ballgame. That's how this thing started way back when, coming up with unique, really different ideas. Most of those ideas might not turn into anything. But some do, and that's where some of these advantages come from.
So with the Rays' whole low-payroll philosophy, is the idea to hoard enough money to steal Bill James from the Red Sox?
[Laughs] I don't know if we can afford him!

Matt Rourke, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Nearly five years into his presidency, Barack Obama confronts a world far different from what he envisioned when he first took office. U.S. influence is declining in the Middle East as violence and instability rock Arab countries. An ambitious attempt to reset U.S. relations with Russia faltered and failed. Even in Obama-friendly Europe, there's deep skepticism about Washington's government surveillance programs.
In some cases, the current climate has been driven by factors outside the White House's control. But missteps by the president also are to blame, say foreign policy analysts, including some who worked for the Obama administration.
Among them: miscalculating the fallout from the Arab Spring uprisings, publicly setting unrealistic expectations for improved ties with Russia and a reactive decision-making process that can leave the White House appearing to veer from crisis to crisis without a broader strategy.
Rosa Brooks, a former Defense Department official who left the administration in 2011, said that while the shrinking U.S. leverage overseas predates the current president, "Obama has sometimes equated 'we have no leverage' with 'there's no point to really doing anything'."
Obama, faced most urgently with escalating crises in Egypt and Syria, has defended his measured approach, saying America's ability to solve the world's problems on its own has been "overstated."
"Sometimes what we've seen is that folks will call for immediate action, jumping into stuff, that does not turn out well, gets us mired in very difficult situations," he said. "We have to think through strategically what's going to be in our long-term national interests."
The strongest challenge to Obama's philosophy on intervention has come from the deepening tumult in the Middle East and North Africa. The president saw great promise in the region when he first took office and pledged "a new beginning" with the Arab world when he traveled to Cairo in 2009.
But the democracy protests that spread across the region quickly scrambled Obama's efforts. While the U.S. has consistently backed the rights of people seeking democracy, the violence that followed has often left the Obama administration unsure of its next move or taking tentative steps that do little to change the situation on the ground.
In Egypt, where the country's first democratically elected president was ousted last month, the U.S. has refused to call Mohammed Morsi's removal a coup. The ruling military, which the U.S. has financially backed for decades, has largely ignored Obama's calls to end assaults on Morsi supporters. And U.S. officials are internally at odds over whether to cut off aid to the military.
In Syria, where more than 100,000 people have been killed during the two-and-a-half year civil war, Obama's pledges that President Bashar Assad will be held accountable have failed to push the Syrian leader from office. And despite warning that Assad's use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" in Syria, there was scant American retaliation when he did use the toxic gases. On Sunday senior administration official said there is "very little doubt" that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in an incident that killed at least a hundred people last week. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Monday that the Obama administration will "get the facts" before acting and that any U.S. move would be done in concert with the international community. But there is pressure in Congress for Obama to act swiftly, possibly along the lines of a U.S. air strike against Syria.
Few foreign policy experts predicted the Arab uprisings, and it's unlikely the U.S. could have — or should have — done anything to prevent the protests. But analysts say Obama misjudged the movements' next stages, including Assad's ability to cling to power and the strength of Islamist political parties in Egypt.

Small, attainable goals are the key to success
Lose weight? Check. Start exercising? Check. Stop smoking? Check.
It can be daunting when your list of New Year's resolutions is as long as your holiday shopping list. In addition to the post-holiday slump, not being able to keep your resolutions by February, March or even late January may increase your anxiety. When your holiday decorations are packed up and stored away, the frustration of an unused gym membership or other reminders of failed resolutions can make the later winter months feel hopeless.
However, it is important to remember that the New Year isn't meant to serve as a catalyst for sweeping character changes. It is a time for people to reflect on their past year's behavior and promise to make positive lifestyle changes.
"Setting small, attainable goals throughout the year, instead of a singular, overwhelming goal on Jan. 1 can help you reach whatever it is you strive for," says psychologist Lynn Bufka, PhD. "Remember, it is not the extent of the change that matters, but rather the act of recognizing that lifestyle change is important and working toward it, one step at a time."
By making your resolutions realistic, there is a greater chance that you will keep them throughout the year, incorporating healthy behavior into your everyday life. APA offers these tips when thinking about a News Year's resolution:
? Start small - Make resolutions that you think you can keep. If, for example, your aim is to exercise more frequently, schedule three or four days a week at the gym instead of seven. If you would like to eat healthier, try replacing dessert with something else you enjoy, like fruit or yogurt, instead of seeing your diet as a form of punishment.
? Change one behavior at a time - Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time. Thus, replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Don't get overwhelmed and think that you have to reassess everything in your life. Instead, work toward changing one thing at a time.
? Talk about it
? Share your experiences with family and friends - Consider joining a support group to reach your goals, such as a workout class at your gym or a group of coworkers quitting smoking. Having someone to share your struggles and successes with makes your journey to a healthier lifestyle that much easier and less intimidating.
? Don't beat yourself up - Perfection is unattainable. Remember that minor missteps when reaching your goals are completely normal and OK. Don't give up completely because you ate a brownie and broke your diet, or skipped the gym for a week because you were busy. Everyone has ups and downs; resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on track.
? Ask for support - Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your resilience and ability to manage stress caused by your resolution. If you feel overwhelmed or unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking professional help. Psychologists are uniquely trained to understand the connection between the mind and body. They can offer strategies as to how to adjust your goals so that they are attainable, as well as help you change unhealthy behaviors and address emotional issues.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Pakistan Christians increase security
Fears about extremists using the basphemy laws as cover for terrorismArchbishop Lawrence Saldanha of Lahore
- Mike MacLachlan, London
- Pakistan
- March 8, 2011
The country's 2.5 million Christians fear for the future more than ever before and as a result security had been increased so much that his Sacred Heart Cathedral was "like Fort Knox," he said in an interview with the charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
"The murder means that we have lost a great leader in our community. Our people are quite down. They are fearful of the future – more so than before. People feel like second-class citizens. We cannot speak out. We feel oppressed, repressed and depressed."
Accusing the government of failing to tackle fundamentalism effectively, he said: "The religious parties have put a lot of pressure on the government which is very weak and cannot make a stand against the menace of extremism."
However, Archbishop Saldanha told ACN: "Our people are very resilient and determined. For centuries, they have been suffering. This is nothing new for them. They have always been under the thumb. We carry on with God's grace."
The archbishop was speaking five days after Bhatti, the only Catholic minister in the federal government, was gunned down on the streets of Islamabad, and less than two months after Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab province, was killed by his own bodyguard.
In its report of the interview, the London office of ACN pointed out that both men had spoken out against Pakistan's blasphemy laws. It said their criticism came amid widespread concern that extremists use the laws "as the pretext for acts of violence in response to unproven allegations of disrespect towards Islam."

I told you so, says Brownlee on rockfall
Relevant offers
A 40-tonne boulder has been turned into a political football after it smashed into an unoccupied house in Christchurch's Port Hills.
Earthquake Minister Gerry Brownlee said the rockfall, which may have been caused by the recent dry weather, vindicated the Government's decision to take no risks when it came to red-zoning some Port Hill properties.
But some residents forced out of their homes by the Government's zoning decisions still believe rock protection work is possible.
The van-sized boulder smashed through the deck into poles supporting the red-stickered house at 31 Finnsarby Pl in Sumner on Wednesday night.
"We know from the extensive ground-truthing and area-wide modelling that the risk of rock roll in this part of the Port Hills is high, hence the need to zone the land red," Brownlee said yesterday.
Brownlee said reports from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority's geologists indicated such rock roll activity was to be expected, even without an obvious trigger like heavy rain or further earthquakes.
"This boulder is the size of a van, so clearly it posed a risk to life and limb had that home been occupied. All areas of Port Hills land zoned red due to rock roll are as dangerous and this cannot be forgotten."
But Sumner resident Phil Elmey, who has vowed to fight the red-zoning of his land, said the house in Finnsarby Place was in a "bowling alley". He said most of the red-stickered houses could be saved if money was spent on rock protection work.
"Even a rock that size could be stopped by the right protection . . . We think it's disgraceful that it hasn't happened."
Terry Huggins, who lives opposite the house, said he heard the boulder fall.
Christchurch City Council building operations manager Ethan Stetson said the recent hot weather could have forced moisture out of the soil, causing the ground to contract and the boulder to fall away. "You can have rock movement in any or all of those locations at any time. It doesn't take an earthquake to make things move."
Stetson said the property had been issued a section 124 notice, which barred entry to homes because of the danger of rockfall or landslip. He said it was very unlikely any more properties in the street would be red-stickered.
"If I had advice from the geotech [people] then that would be considered, but I'm not expecting that."

Easy Calorie Counter
It seems that all the other calorie counter apps require you to enter the name of the food and its calories value before you could add it to your total. Dieting is hard enough. Why jump through hoops trying to keep track of your count? With easy calorie counter you just enter the amount of calories you just ate and then you are done. If you have a common food that you eat, such as a turkey sandwich with all the fixings, just enter it in the common foods section once and "Easy Calorie Counter" will save the info so that you will never have to count up the calories of each item again.
Easy calorie counter will also help you calculate how many calories you should be eating daily and then help track your weight so you can see your progress. Once you enter your daily goal/limit Easy Calorie Counter will change the colors of the buttons from green to yellow to red to quickly show you how close you are to your daily goal/limit.
-Quickly enter calorie value for food and move on
-Keeps track of calories
-Keeps track of weight to help measure progress
-Add custom foods so you don't have to remember their values every time you eat them
-Calculate your BMR and get your suggested calorie intake daily values

Dion takes page from Clarity Act
It is not necessary to train in pedagogy to lecture in a Canadian university, nor is it essential to so dazzle a class with one's teaching as to turn its students into disciples.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
MONTREAL — It is not necessary to train in pedagogy to lecture in a Canadian university, nor is it essential to so dazzle a class with one's teaching as to turn its students into disciples.
In academia, there is as much merit in training a new generation of intellectual contrarians as the opposite.
The same is not true in politics and that is why Stéphane Dion's professorial background is unlikely to serve him well in his Green Shift endeavour.
It certainly did not the last time he set out on a crusade. Since he launched his plan, the Liberal leader has made no secret that the Clarity Act playbook is his main source of inspiration.
In an approach reminiscent of his debate with the sovereignist chattering class, Dion spent the past few days promoting his plan in Alberta, the province that is home to the audience most hostile to a carbon tax.
But if his past experience in Quebec is any indication, his weekend foray will earn him more admiration in Ontario than converts in Alberta.
That is certainly how the Clarity Act performance played out in Quebec.
While Dion is widely seen as a unity hero in the rest of Canada, many of his fellow Quebec federalists remain convinced that the Clarity Act on secession actually delayed the current return of the pendulum towards federalism.
Polls show that sovereignty was at high tide in the wake of the failure of the Meech Lake Accord in 1990.
By the time of the 1995 referendum, the nationalist wave set in motion by the constitutional crisis had already started to recede.
But sovereignty still remained a dominant force in Quebec for the decade that followed, including during and after the Clarity Act debate. It is only recently that a sustained pro-federalist trend has emerged in the province's public opinion.
There is no doubt that it is easier for a Quebec federalist to stand up to sovereignists armed with Stephen Harper's nation resolution than with Dion's Clarity Act.
That may explain why, even among federalist warriors, the Liberal leader remains the odd man out. That was particularly evident when he failed to win over most of the Quebec delegates to the Liberal leadership convention.
The parallels between the Clarity Act operation and the Green Shift endeavour are too numerous to ignore.
That starts with timing and putting a carbon tax in the window just as rising energy prices are already acting as a deterrent, with the attendant risk that the Liberal plan will turn many Canadians off the fight on climate change.
It also involves playing to some of the glaring weaknesses in the Liberal armour. Against the negative backdrop of the defunct National Energy Program, for instance, Dion's activism may exacerbate the polarization between Western and Central Canada.
Rather than shore up the forces for more proactive carbon reduction measures at play in the energy-rich provinces, his plan could unite their citizens against a common federal enemy.
There is finally the certainty that the Green Shift plan will divide the pro-Kyoto camp between advocates of a carbon tax and supporters of a different approach.
The NDP, for one, is currently set to campaign vigorously against Dion's plan in the next election.
Like many Canadians, Dion sees the Clarity Act as his finest political hour.
But in trying to recreate it, he risks duplicating the very approach that turned him into a political writeoff in Quebec 10 years ago.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night : Foreword by William Sears, M.D.: Foreword by William Sears, M.D.
Mcgraw-hill, Mar 28, 2002 - Family & Relationships - 208 pages
A breakthrough approach for a good night's sleep--with no tears
There are two schools of thought for encouraging babies to sleep through the night: the hotly debated Ferber technique of letting the baby "cry it out," or the grin-and-bear-it solution of getting up from dusk to dawn as often as necessary. If you don't believe in letting your baby cry it out, but desperately want to sleep, there is now a third option, presented in Elizabeth Pantley's sanity-saving book The No-Cry Sleep Solution.
Pantley's successful solution has been tested and proven effective by scores of mothers and their babies from across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Based on her research, Pantley's guide provides you with effective strategies to overcoming naptime and nighttime problems. The No-Cry Sleep Solution offers clearly explained, step-by-step ideas that steer your little ones toward a good night's sleep--all with no crying.

Light reading and well thought out. Non-mothers will probably get more millage out of the book by skimming the sections on breastfeeding, unless you are reading this to pass the information on to the mother. Overall good book. Read full review

It is not possible to prevent self induced effects og GHB but it is possible to protect against someone else putting it in to your bottled drink by using ToppStoppa which has the accolade as the only device which actually works and gives tamper evidence. see http://www.topp-stoppa.co.uk. it should only cost £0,10 on every bottle whats this for your safety. make sure you ask for it with every drink
I got my measures wrong and woke up 4 days later in ICU, scary and so not worth it. The dangers of this drug should be made more aware to the clubbing scene.

Report: 300,000 Iraq & Afghan Vets Suffer PTSD & Depression
300,000 US troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering from major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. This, according to a new study by the RAND Corporation. Researchers say nearly 20 percent of the troops who served in the war zones are suffering PTSD and depression, but only half of them have sought treatment. RAND researcher Terri Tanielian said, "Unless they receive appropriate and effective care for these mental health conditions, there will be long-term consequences for them and for the nation." The study also estimates that 320,000 service members had experienced a possible traumatic brain injury while deployed. Researchers say female soldiers and reservists had the highest rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression. Meanwhile, in Texas, the Dallas VA Medical Center has been forced to close its psychiatric ward to new patients after the suicides of four veterans this year.
Suicide Bomber Kills 50 Iraqis at Funeral
At least fifty Iraqis died Thursday when a suicide bomber struck the funeral of two Sunni brothers. Both men belonged to the Awakening Council, a Sunni-led group opposed to al-Qaeda's presence in Iraq. The suicide bomber walked into a tent crowded with mourners and detonated explosives strapped to his body. It was the deadliest blast in Iraq in over a month. The Los Angeles Times reports the bombing was the latest strike in an internal war among Sunni Arabs, some of whom have aligned themselves with the Americans and others with al-Qaeda in Iraq.
US Builds Wall Around Sadr City
In Baghdad, the New York Times reports, US forces have begun building a massive concrete wall partitioning part of the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City from the rest of Baghdad. US officials say they want to turn the southern quarter of Sadr City near the Green Zone into a protected enclave, secured by Iraqi and American forces.
Pentagon Report: Iraq War Is a "Major Debacle"
Meanwhile, a new study by the Pentagon's premier military educational institute has concluded the war in Iraq has become "a major debacle" and the outcome "is in doubt" despite the so-called surge. The opening line of the report says, "Measured in blood and treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a major war and a major debacle." The study was released by the National Institute for Strategic Studies, a Pentagon research center.
US to Release Iraqi Prisoners, Teach Them About Islam
The Wall Street Journal reports US commanders in Iraq have begun releasing hundreds of Iraqi prisoners after concluding the military's detention policy might be harming US goals in Iraq. The US is currently holding about 23,000 Iraqis, many without charge. The US military has begun building a pair of large halfway houses in Taji and Ramadi, where detainees will undergo vocational training. The Wall Street Journal reports the US military also plans to teach religious courses to the former prisoners about how to be a moderate Muslim. Imams will be brought in by the military to teach courses that highlight the Islamic precepts that bar the killing of innocents and offer alternative interpretations of jihad.
Kenya Swears in Power-Sharing Government
In news from Africa, Kenya has sworn in a power-sharing government nearly four months after a disputed election plunged the east African country into a bloody crisis that left more than 1,200 people dead. Mwai Kibaki will remain as president, and his chief rival, Raila Odinga, will serve as prime minister. The two men met secretly recently to break a six-week deadlock over forming the coalition. Prime Minister Raila Odinga said Kenya must remain united.
Raila Odinga: "We have been to hell and back. Never again in our history must we return to those times. We must preserve the sanctity of our nation state and remain united. But our unity cannot be based on words and goodwill alone."
Pope Meets with Sex Abuse Victims
Pope Benedict XVI met privately with a group of victims of clergy sex abuse on Thursday, the third day of his US trip. The unannounced meeting took place in the chapel of the papal embassy. Earlier in the day, Pope Benedict discussed the impact the scandal has had on the Catholic Church.
Pope Benedict XVI: "I acknowledge the pain which the Church in America has experienced as a result of the sexual abuse of minors. No words of mine could describe the pain and harm inflicted by such abuse. It is important that those who have suffered be given loving, personal attention. Nor can I adequately describe the damage that has occurred within the community of the Church."
Amnesty Calls for Probe into Civilian Deaths in Gaza
Amnesty International is calling on the Israeli government to investigate the recent killings of Palestinian civilians and a Reuters journalist in Gaza. Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana was struck by fire from an Israeli tank while he was filming. He had traveled to the scene in a car clearly marked "TV-Press." He was killed as he started to film the tank. Doctors in Gaza have revealed that Fadel Shana was killed by a controversial weapon that fired metal darts from a tank shell. Several of the three-centimeter-long darts, known as flechettes, were embedded in Shana's legs and chest. Israeli doctors and Palestinian human rights groups attempted to get the US-supplied weapons banned in Israel five years ago. Reuters senior Gaza correspondent Nidal al-Mughrabi condemned the killing of Fadel Shana.
Nidal al-Mughrabi: "What happened was very tragic. Today is a very black day. Today is a very sad day. We all know that this was the price for Fadel's dedication and bravery, and this is the kind of price that dedicated journalists pay in areas as risky as Gaza. Reuters has demanded a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances of Fadel's killing, and we will await the investigation."
Carter Heads to Syria to Meet with Hamas Leader
Former President Jimmy Carter is heading to Syria today for talks with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. Carter said the meetings with Hamas are necessary to move forward the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Jimmy Carter: "The leaders of Hamas, would they accept a proposition that if there is success between Abu Mazen and the Prime Minister of Israel and they reached an agreement on all the issues, the major issues, and if they were then submitted to a referendum of the Palestinian community and the Palestinians approve, would Hamas accept that agreement? And that answer was yes."
Carter also criticized the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip. He said, "It's an atrocity what is being perpetrated as punishment on the people in Gaza. It's a crime." He said Palestinians are starving to death because of the blockade.
Merrill Lynch to Eliminate 4,000 Jobs
In economic news, Merrill Lynch has announced plans to eliminate 4,000 jobs this year, about ten percent of its workforce. The investment bank lost $2 billion in the first three months of the year.
Bank of America Ends Private Student Loan Business
Meanwhile, the student loan crisis is worsening. On Thursday, Bank of America announced it is ending its private student loan business for the coming year. The bank will continue to offer loans through the federal student loan program. The Boston Globe reports more than fifty firms have abandoned or cut back their federal or private student loan programs this year, unable to raise money in the financial markets.
Barrick Gold Threatens Canadian Book Publisher
The world's largest gold miner, Barrick Gold, is threatening to sue a small Canadian book publisher over a new book detailing abuses Canadian-owned businesses have committed in Africa. The book links Barrick Gold to the deaths of fifty-two Tanzanian miners who were buried alive in 1996. The mine was owned at that time by Vancouver-based Sutton and sold to Barrick in 1999. But the authors of the book suggest that Barrick acted with Sutton to prepare the deposit for large-scale development. According to the Canwest News Service, the Quebec publishing house has decided to go ahead with publishing the book despite the threat from Barrick.
Rep. Frank Introduces Marijuana Decriminalization Bill
And on Capitol Hill, Democratic Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts has introduced legislation aimed at removing federal penalties on personal marijuana use. The legislation would also allow the medical use of marijuana in states that have chosen to make its use for medical purposes legal with a doctor's recommendation.

A Taste of Nanjing, China
BY Michael Lowenthal
August 13 2010 5:00 AM ET
"Can you guess?" asked our host. "What do you think these are?" He pointed with his chopsticks to some pallid strips of meat.
It was a formal banquet in Nanjing, China, and the delicacy-laden lazy Susan gave the lie to its name, tirelessly bringing dozens of plates before me. Earlier, at the urging of the tourism council's chief, I'd tasted the stewed sea cucumber and the congealed duck-blood soup. Now one of his colleagues, as if to up the ante, was plying us with beef tendon, piles of stinky tofu, and… "Duck tongue! I think you've never tried this."
Indeed not, so I did: mild, less meat than bone, tiny salty lollipops of flesh.
Really, though, I might've sampled food like this back home. In Boston's Chinatown, I bet they have it.
The thing I truly yearned to try could never be exported: the taste of native gay life in Nanjing. Our hosts hadn't offered up a scrap about the subject. Not as palatable, perhaps, as stinky tofu?
Homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder in China till less then a decade ago, and it was only in December that the first government-backed gay bar in the country opened. Beijing boasts a burgeoning gay scene, as does Shanghai (where I found one club, in a labyrinthine former bomb shelter, as fun as anything in London or New York), but what about a city like Nanjing? It's hardly a backwater—one of China's Four Great Ancient Capitals, with a population, including students and migrant workers, approaching 10 million—but neither is it a stop on the Western tourist circuit. Nanjing attracts 100,000 Americans a year, which works out to fewer than 300 per day in the vast metropolis.
The city has its share of winning features. The first Ming tomb; Sun Yat-sen's majestic mausoleum; a silk museum where patient workers, paired on giant looms, make two inches' progress in eight hours. Above all else, the deeply haunting Nanjing Massacre museum, marking the infamous Japanese reign of terror. But gay life? Hadn't seen any. At least I didn't think so.
I'd wondered about the men I met at Sun Yat-sen's memorial. Halfway up the 500-meter stairway to his tomb, two guys beelined toward me with a brazen sort of shyness: furtive peeks and giggles while they all but ran me over. They were in their 20s, I guessed, trim, stylishly dressed. I met their flirty glances, and they asked in a smiling mime if they could have their photos snapped beside me. Posing with me, each man grabbed my waist and squeezed tightly. Wow, I thought. In public?With a stranger? China's fun! But once they had their photos, both men turned and loped away, without even a single backward glance. It hit me: With my lighter skin, my big Semitic nose, I was just a scenic curiosity.
If Chinese ways seemed to set my gaydar on the blink, I would have a simpler time, I reckoned, in gay bars; I'd found a few listed on the Web. And so that night, after I'd downed the salty, quackless tongues, I set out walking to scout the local scene.
Easier said than done. Unlike in Shanghai, where Pinyin names are common, Nanjing's signs are mostly written in Mandarin characters only—to me, they might as well have been tea leaves. And almost none of the locals speak English. I studied the first bar's street address and tried to memorize it: 221 Popsicle Man-holding-a-sparkler What-the-hell? Road. All righty, then! I walked along, chanting my mnemonic mantra. Popsicle Man-holding-a-sparkler—wait. Was that thing there a Popsicle? No, it was a…what? A sperm? I had to start again.

Chace Crawford has been hit with a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana, stemming from his arrest last Friday, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Officials in Collin County, Texas, confirmed to Access Hollywood on Friday that the "Gossip Girl" star had been charged with the alleged offence.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Crawford was arrested in the early morning hours of Friday, June, 4, outside of local bar Ringo's Pub with an alleged two ounces of the drug.
TMZ reported at the time that the star was found with a friend and an "unlit joint" in a vehicle in the pub's parking lot when the arrest went down.
On Friday, the Web site reported that the maximum penalty — if the actor is convicted on the charge — is six months in the slammer.
