HORSE RACING: Del Mar preview
Mast Track: Was the surprise 10-1 winner of the Grade I Hollywood Gold Cup in wire-to-wire fashion under jockey Tyler Baze. Bred and owned by trainer Bobby Frankel this looks like his Pacific Classic contender, but Frankel has such a deep barn who knows who else will run. Frankel has won the Pacific Classic six times.
Awesome Gem: This gelding owned by West Point Thoroughbreds parlayed a second-place finish in last year's Pacific Classic into a third-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Classic. He suffered a bout with colitis after a poor effort in the Santa Anita Handicap. He's on the comeback trail, being pointed to run early in the Del Mar meet with a goal of running in the Pacific Classic again.
Street Boss: Trainer Bruce Headley knows how to work with sprinters and he has another top one here. The 4-year-old son of Street Cry just won the Grade I Triple Bend Handicap at Hollywood Park and will be pointed to the six-furlong Bing Crosby Handicap or seven-furlong Pat O'Brien Handicap.
Lava Man: This former winner of the Pacific Classic is being pointed in a different direction these days. The Grade I Eddie Read Handicap on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course is his goal early in the meet. Lava Man hasn't won a race in more than a year, but he's still one of the most popular horses in training.
Diamond Diva: This 4-year-old daughter of Danehill just won a thrilling edition of the Grade II CashCall Mile on the grass at Hollywood. Trained by James Cassidy -- a proud New York Yankees fan -- she will look to the Grade I John C. Mabee Handicap early in the meet.
Student Council: The defending champion of the $1 million Pacific Classic. Was purchased by owner Ro Parra days before last year's race and ran under trainer Vladimir Cerin's name. This year he is in the Steve Asmussen barn. He won the Pimlico Special this year and finished third in the Hollywood Gold Cup.
Azul Leon: Del Mar is all about 2-year-olds and this one might be the best of the West Coast right now after his win in the Grade III Hollywood Juvenile Championship. The son of Lion Heart will likely be pointed to the Best Pal Stakes.
Emmy Darling: Right at the top of the 2-year-old filly division with her victory in the June 28 Landaluce Stakes at Hollywood Park. She showed an explosive turn of foot in the stretch and will be pointed for the Sorrento and Del Mar Debutante.
Whatsthescript: Went from last to first to win the June 28 American Handicap at Hollywood. Has always had talent, but trainer John Sadler may have unlocked the key. Looking at the Eddie Read, where he will face Lava Man.
1937: Bing Crosby and his buddies from Hollywood opened Del Mar on July 3. There were 22 race days that first year with a reported 15,000 showing up on opening day.
1938: The race that put Del Mar on the map: the match race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti is held on Aug. 12. George "The Iceman" Woolf guides Seabiscuit into immortality with a nose victory despite carrying 15 more pounds than the loser.

Matchup: Boston Bruins vs. Detroit Red Wings
Date/Time: November 27th, 7:30 p.m. ET
Television: NBC Sports Network
NHL Betting Odds from Bookmaker
Moneyline: Off
Total: Off
Very possible playoff contenders are set to meet in NHL betting action as a part of a jam packed Wednesday night on the ice, as the Detroit Red Wings host the Boston Bruins.
It isn't all that often that you see anyone score that many goals against the Bruins, and G Tuukka Rask is making sure that stays the case. It's possible that Rask is set for a day off, as he has been in the midst of a lot of big time games of late. However, with the holiday approaching and a few days off to follow, we have to think that he is going to be set to go on Wednesday. What's most impressive about Boston's run to the top of the Atlantic Division this year is that there just aren't all that many players who have done a ton offensively. Everyone is seemingly doing his share, though. D Torrey Krug, for example, only has 15 points in 24 games this year, though he scored the game-winning goal in overtime to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. No one has more than 20 points on the team, but there are few that can boast having eight players with at least 10 points on the season, and we haven't even accounted for D Zdeno Chara or LW Brad Marchand in that mix either.
Detroit hasn't really beaten much of anyone over the course of the last month or so, as its last win against a team with a winning record came against the Vancouver Canucks right at the end of October. It's concerning for sure, though the schedule isn't all that bad save for this game in the next few weeks. The good news is that the wins are starting to at least pile up again after losing seven straight games over the course of two and a half weeks, as the team has victories over the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres in its last three games. The concern though, comes from the fact that only 11 games out of 25 have been won so far, and the frustration is clearly starting to mount, as the reality sets in that missing the postseason is a real possibility for a team that hasn't missed out on the second season in quite some time.
The fact that the Red Wings did win a game in this series earlier this year has us all the more convinced that the Bruins aren't taking this one lightly. The B's know that they are going to have to play a good game to get rid of this pesky Detroit outfit, which does have 18 results in its 25 games. The B's though, should have another stellar defensive effort and manage to scratch out a few goals to put the Wings away without all that muss or fuss. A 3-1 final seems about right.

Apple Fritters-Technically A Donut, But More Accurately "Manna".
Manna, for those of you who don't know, is "the food of the gods". Yes, the stuff of which gods munch on. It's the thing they use before they shoot lightning bolts out of their ass cracks and send vultures to pick the bones of mere mortals. What could be a better food for Zeus than sugar, flour and apples all fried to sh@t and served up glazed with more sugar? More after the jump.

Gay Teens Fight Back
Jared Nayfack was 11 years old and living in the heart of conservative Orange County, California, when he told his best friend from school that he was gay--"and my friend then came out to me," says Jared. When he turned 15, Jared celebrated his birthday by coming out to his parents and closest friends. By then, he was attending a Catholic high school, and on a school-sponsored overnight field trip, Jared and his schoolmates decided to spend their free evening at the movies seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show. "Some of us had decided to get all costumed up to see it, and when the teacher who was with us saw us she threw a fit: She forced me to get up in front of the other twenty-one students--many of whom I didn't know--and tell them I was gay. Most of the kids supported me, but later that evening, one of them--a lot bigger than I was; he had a black belt in martial arts--came into my hotel room and beat me up. I was a bloody mess, and he could have killed me if another student hadn't heard my screams and stopped him." Instead of punishing Jared's assailant, the school's dean suspended Jared and put him on "academic and behavioral probation." "The dean told me that even though I was forced to tell the others that I was gay, I was at fault because I'd 'threatened the masculinity' of the kid who'd beat me up," Jared recalls.
In fear, Jared transferred to a public high school, the South Orange County High School of the Arts. "I thought I'd be safe and could be out when I came there--after all, it was an arts program. Boy, was I wrong. Within two weeks people were yelling 'fag' at me in the halls and in class. I was dressed a little glam, if you will--nothing really offensive, just a little makeup. But when I went to the principal to complain, she did nothing about the harassment and told me that I was 'lacking in testosterone,'" Jared explains. To fight back, Jared and some gay and straight friends formed a club called PRIDE, which made a twenty-five-foot-long rainbow banner to put up in school decorated with multicolored hands and the slogan, hands for equality (the banner was banned). The club also made beaded rainbow bracelets that many students wore--"even a lot of the football players," according to Jared--but the club was forbidden by the administration "because it didn't have anything to do with the curriculum." The harassment got worse--so bad that Jared had to leave school two months before graduation. "I had to fight to be before I could study," Jared explains, "but I left there feeling really let down and like a failure--we hadn't gotten anywhere."
When he enrolled as a freshman at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Jared says, "I was embraced by a huge and loving queer community. They told me, 'It's OK to be angry'--that's something I hadn't heard before." Feeling a bit burned out, for his first six months at Santa Cruz Jared avoided gay activism--until the day he attended a conference of gay youth. "There were kids pulling together--I just knew I had to help out." He attended a youth training institute run by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); began working with Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs) at two high schools near the university; edited and xerox-published an anthology of adolescent writings about AIDS; created a performance piece, as part of his self-designed major in "theatrical activism," about homophobia with a cast of seven straight boys to the hit song "Faggot" by the rock group Korn; and now speaks to gay youth groups around the country. Today Jared is only 18.
Jared's story is fairly typical of a whole new generation of lesbian and gay adolescents: brave, tough and resilient, comfortable with their sexual identity and coming out at earlier ages, inventing their own organizations--and victimized by violence and harassment in their schools. Says Rea Carey, executive director of the National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYAC), an alliance of local and national service agencies working to empower gay youth: "Five or ten years ago, kids would go to a youth service agency and say, 'I need help because I think I'm gay.' Today, more and more they say, 'I'm gay and so what? I want friends and a place to work on the issues I care about.' Being gay is not their problem, it's their strength. These kids are coming out at 13, 14, 15, at the same age that straight people historically begin to experience their sexuality. But they are experiencing more violence because of that."
Quantifying the number of assaults on lesbian and gay youth isn't easy. In most states, gay-run Anti-Violence Projects are woefully underfunded and understaffed (when they have any staff at all), and students are rarely aware of them, according to Jeffrey Montgomery, the director of Detroit's Triangle Foundation and the spokesman for the National Association of Anti-Violence Projects. Teachers and school administrators most often don't report such incidents. After pressure from state governments sympathetic to the Christian right, the Clinton/Gore Administration's Centers for Disease Control removed all questions regarding sexual orientation from its national Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Now the only state to include them is Massachusetts.
There, according to its most recent questioning of nearly 4,000 high school students by the Massachusetts Department of Education, kids who self-identified as gay, lesbian or bisexual were seven times more likely than other kids to have skipped school because they felt unsafe (22.2 percent versus 3.3). A 1997 study by the Vermont Department of Health found that gay kids were threatened or injured with a weapon at school three times more than straight kids (24 percent versus 8). And a five-year study released in January by Washington State's Safe Schools Coalition--a partnership of 74 public and private agencies--documented 146 incidents in the state's schools, including eight gang rapes and 39 physical assaults (on average, a single gay kid is attacked by more than two offenders at once).

Baseball owners slash player payrolls
The bad economy is prompting formerly free-spending Major League Baseball owners to cut their payrolls, with 14 teams spending less this year, documents show.
Documents obtained by USA Today indicated that 10 of the 14 teams are cutting back player salaries by at least $10 million compared to last year, and when all 30 teams are included the average player salary rose by only a modest 4 percent, the newspaper reported Monday.
The New York Yankees, with baseball's highest payroll at $201.4 million, will spend $8 million less on players this year. The Boston Red Sox lowered their players' salaries by $12 million, dropping them to fourth place in the salary derby behind the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs, USA Today said.
That is an amazing number, Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf told the newspaper.
This isn't just the baseball economy. But the owners who subsidized losses for their team with their businesses don't have businesses as profitable anymore.
The San Diego Padres logged the biggest decrease, slashing their payroll by nearly $20 million, giving them the second-lowest player costs behind the Florida Marlins, who sport baseball's smallest payroll at $43.8 million, the newspaper said.

IDA â€" Members of the Southeast Michigan Antique Tractor and Engine Association will kick off plans for the annual tractor show in July at their membership meeting Sunday. The club will meet at 7 p.m. at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 1920 Lewis Ave. Ed Oerther, a member of the board of directors, will be the host.
The July 20-22 show at Nike Park in Newport will feature Case IH and International tractors.
At the meeting, volunteers will be sought to head individual committees and to provide support, said Kim Rehberg, secretary of the association. The executive board and directors are looking for members to fill numerous positions.
"This is also the time to bring suggestions for improving this year's show," Mrs. Rehberg said. "It is very important to continually improve our show so we can continue record-breaking attendance." "/>
The 2012 Wig Wag sales began at the last meeting in February. The sales are vitally important because they assist in paying for the fireworks show July 21 and overall expenses for the show, she said.
Those interested in placing an ad in the program can contact board member Norman D. Seegert.

Scotty - Aint No Competition
Artist: Scotty ATL
Producer: J Baker
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 7 votes )
I don't mean to brag, but my Call Of Duty game play is on point. It's only been 24 hours since Black Ops 2 was released and I am basically already an expert. I might need to stop playing because there is nobody (yes, that is a challenge to Booth Nation) who can beat me. ATL newcomer Scotty knows this exact feeling because on his new single he lets listeners know that when it comes to the rap game there Aint No Competition. Producer J Baker composes a bangin', squeaky beat that rides perfectly behind Scotty to back up his many braggadocios claims. No Competition is the lead single off the emcee's forthcoming, untitled mixtape with DJ Burn One, which will drop later this month.

Naive And Heart-Warming
Smalltown America are a lovely bunch of people who regularly release records by bands that'd normally never be in a position to do so themselves. alas, maybe their generosity was a touch too great with this single.
It's nothing fundamentally bad, just a bit "been there, done it" for this century. The guitars aren't quite punchy enough to be catchy, or subtle enough to be beautiful; the dual harmonised vocals aren't quite endearing enough to carry the songs, and the whole thing feels all too familiar.
Naïve and heart-warming it might be; but ultimately not enough to warrant purchase.

Philippine stocks fall on EU woes
MANILA, Philippines—Local stocks closed lower for a second day as investors worried over the debt situation in the eurozone.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index shed 22.69 points, or 0.43 percent, to 5,192.10.
Most counters ended in the red led by the mining/oil sub-index, which slumped by 2.26 percent.
Only the property counter bucked the downturn, due to the 2.19 percent gain by Ayala Land Inc. which posted good first quarter results. ALI grew its first-quarter net profit by 31 percent to P2.13 billion year on year led by the residential business.
The index was led lower by AGI, PLDT, AC, Megaworld, URC, Metrobank, MPI, BDO and SM Prime.
Apart from ALI, the day's index losses were tempered by the gains of DMCI, AP and BPI.
Meanwhile, other sharp losers were Bloomberry (-4.21 percent), Dizon (-12.76 percent), GT Capital (-1.79 percent), Philodrill (-7.84 percent) and Security Bank (-1 percent).
Across the region, sentiment was also dampened by reports about the slower-than-expected import growth in China, which in turn boosted concerns on the slowing Chinese economy.
Overnight, the closely watched Dow Jones Industrial Index slumped for the sixth day in a row.
Traders said it did not help that many analysts now perceive that Philippine stocks have become expensive compared with the rest of the region.
Value turnover amounted to P7.97 billion. Losers overwhelmed gainers, 134-31, while 36 stocks were unchanged.

The series, which premiered on Syfy on July 11, 2011, tells the story of a group of five people who use their extraordinary powers (such as hyperkinesis and the ability to push their will onto other people) to battle a group of equally extraordinary criminals.
24 episodes of Alphas aired over the course of the series.

|A team of people who exhibit special abilities (known as Alphas), who belong to a secret department attached to the CIA, are sent to investigate an impossible murder of a CIA Witness who was shot through the head in a sealed jail cell. They soon uncover the shooter, who is also an Alpha, and realize he is being controlled by yet another Alpha working for a rogue outfit. They break his conditioning, and he joins the team and helps to eradicate the mind controller.

|After the attack on Dr. Rosen, the team is forced to relocate their base of operations while trying to adapt to changes in their personal lives. Rosen tries to cope with his Department of Defense liaison and a former Alpha patient who escapes from the Binghamton Mental Hospital and wants him dead. The FBI attempts to rein in this patient, but as the body count climbs, it is decided that he will be killed instead. Just before they do, he warns Dr. Rosen of a coming war between normal people and Alphas.

|A runaway teenage Alpha, Matthew, sets off riots up and down the East Coast, the team struggles to stop him and send him to the Binghamton Mental Hospital for treatment. When they find that they have this man inside their base, Matthew sends off the pheromones and this causes Rachel, who was on the phone with her mother, to shout at her mother, that she hated her and was moving out. Bill is not affected by his pheromones but the others are causing chaos that leads to Don's death. Later in the episode, Nina offers Rachel her home to stay in for a while, and this strengthens the friendship of the two. In a subplot, Gary finds it hard to concentrate on his abilities when a satellite antenna across the street starts humming, and at the end of the episode, Gary complains that no one has helped him, and then Cameron, using his "hyperkinesis" throws a baseball and disables the antenna, which strengthens his companionship with Gary. Agent Sullivan takes over Agent Wilson's place on the team.

|While raiding a Red Flag operation, Dr. Rosen and his team find Anna (Liane Balaban), an Alpha who can understand and translate any language. While the others try to track down and stop someone they believe to be the Red Flag leader, Milo Kosar, Gary bonds with Anna over their similar conditions. The team eventually determines that Anna is the leader of Red Flag and its reach is far greater than initially feared. Red Flag attempts to take down a lab manufacturing a medication that stops Alphas from being born. In a subplot, near the beginning we see how Gary makes his mother take care of him with almost everything (e.g. making him water until he judges it perfect). When he meets Anna she tells him that he doesn't need Dr. Rosen or his mother to take care of him, although Gary chooses to stay with The Alphas. When his mother brings him his water he states "if it's not right I'll go make it myself, I can take care of myself", suggesting that Anna may have changed the way he thinks of himself and his abilities to take care of himself.

The Alphas let Skylar and her daughter go to live in Canada in peace in exchange for the tracking system which Rosen then destroys, in order to protect the Alphas from his superiors who might want to use their powers for ulterior motives.

Knights relay runs well at DyestatIL DMR
By Elburn Herald on May 8, 2014
ELMHURST, Ill.—On April 30, the Knights sent Nathaniel Kucera (center), Brock Robertson (right), Luis Acosta and Kyle Carter (left) to York High School in Elmhurst, Ill., for the inaugural DyestatIL.com Distance Medley Relay. The unique event, at least for Illinois teams, features the following distances: 1200m, 400m, 800m and 1600m. In the elite field that was invited to compete, the KHS quartet placed seventh with a time of 10 minutes, 28.80 seconds. Kucera kicked things off with a 3:12.4 in the 1200m, and Robertson blazed to a :51.5 in the 800m. Acosta notched one of the fastest 800m splits of the day with a 1:58.9, while Carter anchored the 1600m in a speedy 4:26.1. The team's overall time ranks the Knights No. 8 in the state and No. 62 in the nation, regardless of school size. Photos by Ben Draper

One Reason Its Hard to Write About the Bangladesh Factory Disaster
Current U.S. treatment of our most vulnerable workforce isnt exactly an exemplar:
Social workers said the disabled men had been denied bathroom breaks, locked in their rooms, kicked in the groin and, in one case, handcuffed to a bed.
DAVENPORT, Iowa A jury on Wednesday awarded a total of $240 million to 32 mentally disabled turkey processing plant workers in Iowa for what an expert witness described as years of virtual enslavement by the Texas company that oversaw their care, work and lodging
During the weeklong trial that ended Wednesday, officials testified about the squalid conditions they found during a 2009 inspection of the bunkhouse where the men were housed. The building, which was in a rural area several miles from the West Liberty Foods turkey processing plant where they worked, was falling apart, infested with rodents and full of fire hazards.
Social workers spoke of the physical and verbal abuse the men said they had been subjected to by the Henrys supervisors who oversaw their work and care. They said they had been forced to work through illness and injuries, denied bathroom breaks, locked in their rooms, kicked in the groin and, in one case, handcuffed to a bed
If these men had not been virtually enslaved, they could have enjoyed productive lives with the support of community, she said. It was only because they were disabled.

George W Bush's $250 Million Can of Whitewash - by Jim Hightower

George W Bush's $250 Million Can of Whitewash
by Jim Hightower
Big doings in Big D the George W. Bush Presidential Library is open for business!
Somewhere in Texas an idiot has opened his library. (Vernon Bryant, Dallas Morning News)
What a piece of work it is: a $250 million, 226,000-square-foot edifice on 23 acres in Dallas. His brick-and-limestone structure is certainly imposing, but once inside, you quickly see that it's a $250 million can of whitewash. Of course, all ex-presidents want libraries that show their good side, and Bush himself was organizer-in-chief of this temple to ... well, to himself. What's most striking is not what's in it, but what's not.
For example, where's that "Mission Accomplished" banner that he used as a political prop in May 2003, when he strutted out so fatuously on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln wearing a flight suit to pretend like he had won the Iraq war? And how about a video loop of him finally showing up in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, cluelessly praising his infamously incompetent emergency management honcho with the now notorious shout-out: "Heck of a job, Brownie."
Also, while there are 35 featured videos, a replica of W's oval office, narrated presentations by top Bush officials and even statues of the family dogs where's Cheney? Shouldn't there be an animated exhibit of the perpetually snarling veep in his dark chamber, scheming to shred our Constitution and set up an imperial presidency (or, more accurately, an imperial vice presidency)?
Another essential element of George's tenure that goes unportrayed could be called "The Dead Garden of Compassionate Conservatism." It could feature such mementos as him cutting health care funding for veterans, closing of the college gates for 1.5 million low-income students and turning a blind eye as 8 million more Americans tumbled down the economic ladder into poverty on his watch.

Gitmo Torture Memoir of Mohamedou Ould Slahi
by Taylor Marsh on May 1, 2013
SLATE has published excerpts of a Gitmo torture memoir that should be required reading in Congress and in the Obama administration. It should then be passed to Ron Fournier who recently wrote a sloppy love poem to George W. Bush. The first installment of the torture memoir is here, but hold on, because it unmasks, yet again, our countrys leaders as not fit for their jobs.
Heres an excerpt on the background on the torture memoir by Mohamedou Ould Slahi:
Mohamedou Ould Slahi at Guantánamo
Courtesy of the International Committee of the Red Cross
What followed was one of the most stubborn, deliberate, and cruel Guantánamo interrogations on record. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld personally signed Slahis interrogation plan. Like Mohamed al-Qahtani, the Pentagons other Special Project, Slahi would be subjected to months of 20-hour-a-day interrogations that combined sleep deprivation, severe temperature and diet manipulation, and total isolation with relentless physical and psychological humiliations. He was told his mother had been detained and would soon be at the mercy of the all-male population at Guantánamo. He was threatened with death and subjected to a violent mock rendition. Declassified files, including the Defense Departments Schmidt-Furlow Report, the Justice Departments investigation of FBI involvement in Guantánamo interrogations, and the Senate Armed Services Committees report on the treatment of detainees, document the Pentagons plan and its meticulous and malicious implementation.
That all this abuse was fruitless is clear from the 2010 decision of U.S. District Court Judge James Robertson granting Slahis habeas corpus petition and ordering his release. Once there had been talk of trying Slahi as a key 9/11 recruiter, a capital crime, but no criminal charges were ever prepared against him. The man first assigned to prosecute him, Marine Corps Lt. Col. Stuart Couch, withdrew from the case when he discovered Slahi had been tortured. When Couchs boss, former Guantánamo chief prosecutor Col. Morris Davis, met with the CIA, the FBI, and military intelligence in 2007 to review Slahis case, the agencies conceded they could not link him to any acts of terrorism. During Slahis habeas corpus proceedings, the government still alleged he played a role in recruiting the 9/11 hijackers, though by then it was acknowledging, as Robertson notes in a footnote to his opinion, that Slahi probably did not even know about the 9/11 attacks. The only evidence the government offered to support allegations of Slahis involvement in terrorist plots came, Robertson found, from statements he made in the course of his brutal interrogation.
Slahi testified by closed video link to Washington during the habeas corpus proceedings. What he said remains classified. Until now, one of the few documents we had of Slahi describing his ordeal, in his own words, is the declassified transcript of his November 2005 Administrative Review Board hearing. The document is remarkable for the characteristic clarity and sly humor of Slahis voice; a masked interrogator, he tells the board, had gloves, OJ Simpson gloves on his hands. It is also exceptionally earnest. Early in his statement, he tells the board, Please, I want you guys to understand my story okay, because it really doesnt matter if they release me or not, I just want my story understood.
The disgrace is on every single politician in Washington, including President Obama, a man who was supposed to make things different, especially on torture and Guantanamo Bay. It hasnt happened.
We used to be better than this. We used to have leaders that were better than this.

Capitalism is killing our morals, our future - In a Market Society, everything is for sale
Capitalism is killing our morals, our future
Paul B. Farrell
Commentary: In a Market Society, everything is for sale
Without being fully aware of the shift, Americans have drifted from having a market economy to becoming a market society ... where almost everything is up for sale ... a way of life where market values seep into almost every sphere of life and sometimes crowd out or corrode important values, non-market values.
America transforms from mere market economy to new market society
Sandels core message is simple: The good things in life are degraded if turned into commodities. So to decide where the market belongs, and where it should be kept at a distance, we have to decide how to value the goods in question health, education, family life, nature, art, civic duties, and so on. These are moral and political questions, not merely economic ones.
Unfortunately, we never had that debate during the 30-year rise of market triumphalism. As a result, without quite realizing it without ever deciding to do so we drifted from having a market economy to being a market society.
And the difference is this: A market economy is a tool ... for organizing productive activity. A market society is a way of life in which market values seep into every aspect of human endeavor. Its a place where social relations are made over in the image of the market. The difference is profound.

Pat Toomey: Background Checks Died Because GOP Didn't Want To Help Obama
Source: Huffington Post
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) revealed that some members of his party opposed expanding background checks for gun sales recently because they didn't want to "be seen helping the president."
Two weeks ago, only three Republican senators voted for the bipartisan background checks amendment sponsored by Toomey and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), despite overwhelming popular support for such a measure.
"In the end it didnt pass because we're so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it, Toomey admitted on Tuesday in an interview with Digital First Media editors in the offices of the Times Herald newspaper in Norristown, Pa.
The Times Herald noted that in "subsequent comments," Toomey "tried to walk that remark part-way back by noting he meant to say Republicans across the nation in general, not just those in the Senate."

Jason Collins Inspires A Young Sportswriter To Come Out Of The Closet
Jason Collins Inspires A Young Sportswriter To Come Out Of The Closet
By Outsports on Apr 30 2013, 8:44a
"Im tired of putting on the charade of being straight," the writer says, inspired by Jason Collins' coming out.
By Tony Jovenitti
Im gay.
There, I said it.
Well, I didnt say it. I wrote it.
I was always better at writing than speaking, anyway. So its only fitting that Im doing this in writing. Ive been a writer my whole life, throughout high school and into college. Ive also known I was gay for a good portion of my life. But I did my best to hide it, quell my emotions and lie to myself and everyone around me.
Not anymore.
I got into sports writing during my junior year of college after writing for the music section and the news section of my college newspaper. I covered NCAA football and basketball before landing an awesome internship with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
So naturally, Ive been paying close attention to the You Can Play project and the amazing work that Patrick Burke has done. And then, yesterday, the inevitable finally happened. An active player in one of the four major North American professional sports came out of the closet.
I was overjoyed to see Jason Collins invite us to know the real Jason Collins. I posted it on my Facebook to let my friends hear the news, but thanks to my internal censor, I couldnt really reveal just how excited I was. I couldnt let people know exactly how much this meant to me, they might find out my secret!
But then I thought about it for a while. The thing I admired most about Collins story is that he came out in his own words, by writing his own story.
Now, I love sports, but I dont really care for the NBA. Ive never even heard of Collins. I honestly thought that, with all the work Burke has been doing, the NHL would have the first openly gay athlete. But here we are, an NBA player blazing the trail. (Did Collins ever play for the Trailblazers? No? Bummer.)
The fact that he wrote his coming out story so elegantly and in such a matter-of-fact way inspired me. Im nowhere near as big of a deal as Collins. Heck, Im barely a sportswriter anymore; I just do it on the side. But I want to tell my story and tell the truth to anyone who cares to listen if only for my own sake.
Im tired of putting on the charade of being straight. I grew up in a very small town that isnt too accepting of diversity. There was one gay kid and one black kid in my school and both were bullied mercilessly. I didnt partake in the bullying Im the kind of person who stays away from conflict, even when I probably should confront something but I just stood by and let the jocks tease the only gay person in town who had the guts to be himself. For that, Im ashamed. I wish I could go back and do it all over. But I cant. All I can do is offer my apologies.
I also apologize to my family and friends to whom Ive been lying. If theres one thing that my parents taught me growing up, its that lying is wrong. And I let them down. But I know that they will accept and love me no matter what. Theyve even told me this when weve had discussions about homosexuality. I dont know why Im so scared to come out to the world.
I know all my friends will be supportive, and I know they will all still think of me the same way they did before they read this. My friends are some of the most accepting and rational people that I know. I really dont know what Ive been waiting for.
Perhaps Im afraid to hurt people around me like I said, I shy away from conflict and I go out of my way to please people. Ive dated women, including one serious relationship in college. I lied to her. I honestly did love her; shes the nicest girl youll ever meet. But she didnt deserve being lied to. I almost dont want to write this because I dont want to hurt her.
But this needs to happen.
Yes, being a closeted writer in the macho world of sports was difficult. It was tough to keep my guard up the whole time. But Im professional. I was there to do a job and do it well. (And yes, Don Cherry, I did see a penis in the locker room. But guess what? I didnt care.) I think my coworkers can attest that I did the job well. Shockingly, my sexuality has nothing to do with how good of a sportswriter I am. Just like Collins sexuality has nothing to do with his basketball skills.
A few people would crack homophobic "jokes" and blurt out gay slurs at the office and in the locker room. I know they didnt mean it, but that doesnt make it right. Im sure theyre reading this now saying, "Oh no, I didnt know he was gay, I wouldnt have said that!" It shouldnt matter if someones gay or not; we shouldnt be using those words. Im not mad at these people and still consider them my friends, but I just hope they learn from this and stop using hateful words. Again, I know they didnt mean it, but much like Tyler Seguins unfortunate tweet a few days ago we need to learn from things like this to clean up our vocabulary.
I moved away from my friends and family for a good job. I made new friends, but I kept up the charade. Now, its time to tear down the walls Ive spent my entire life building. Ill never find happiness if I keep this up. So its time to do the right thing.
Im sorry to everyone Ive lied to.
But, Im Tony. I love sports. I love hockey. I love the Penguins.
And Im gay.
I cant make up for the lies Ive told in the past, but hopefully, everyone will forgive me and we can all move toward the future together and find happiness.
Thank you, Jason Collins.

Her legacy: A passion for teaching: Thelma Johnson dies at 103
HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - You could end the story this way and leave it at that: Thelma B. Johnson, 103, died on Friday, Oct. 26, 2012, at 7:21 p.m.
But Barbara Chambers doesn't tell the story that way. Loving caretakers rarely do.
So instead, you'll hear the smile on her face when she talks, by phone, about what the well-known former educator loved to eat: "Grits. Grits and butter. And bacon. I prepared that for her. And biscuits."
What did Miss Johnson have with that?
"Coffee was her drink," Chambers says, her smiles getting even louder. "But then she loved her water."
Johnson loved much more, too, according to the woman who sat by her bedside at all hours for almost 12 years
and who was also relieved that her charge felt no pain, even at the very end.
"She did not suffer at all, and her passing was like the way she lived her life," Chambers said. "It was so peaceful. She knew I was there with her, and I told her I would be there until the end, and that's what she wanted."
Johnson was the first African-American U.K. extension service home economist in Western Kentucky. She served on the Henderson County Board of Education from 1978 to 1986 and was also its chairwoman.
She was involved in Methodist Hospital, League of Women Voters, Redbanks Nursing Home, Friends of the Library, the Green River Area Development District's Council on Aging, Head Start, the American Red Cross, the United Way and the local Human Rights Commission.
Johnson was the Henderson-Henderson County Chamber of Commerce's "Distinguished Citizen of the Year" in 1984 and the first African-American elected to a public office in Henderson County.
And after a significant push from the Henderson County African-American Pastors and Layman Alliance, Thelma Johnson also became the namesake for the Henderson County Schools Early Learning Center, which opened just this year.
"(Thelma Johnson's death is) a tremendous loss to our community, but it's a blessed loss because we were able to spend a lot of years with her," the Rev. Charles E. Johnson, one of the leaders of that alliance, said on Saturday.
He added that naming the new early learning center after Johnson is "very befitting for such a historical stateslady of our community."
It's also a tribute that almost didn't happen. The local school board already had decided to name the facility the Henderson County Schools Early Learning Center when a group of 65 to 70 residents attended a meeting in February asking that Thelma Johnson be added to the name.
That prompted the board to rescind its earlier decision by a vote of 4-1. In March, the board voted 3-1 to name the $11.1 million facility for Johnson.
The new 49,000-square-foot facility is the first of its kind that has been built specifically, and from the ground up, for early childhood education, according to Aleisha Sheridan, administrator for preschool and child care.
Henderson County Schools Superintendent Thomas Richey said he is proud the early learning center is named after Johnson.
"What a treasure we lost, but a legacy left behind for her family, friends and this community," he said.
"Her actions have increased the quality of all of us. She is the past and future of our community."
Education was very much Johnson's passion, and it was something she worked very hard to be able to obtain.
The Mount Pleasant, Fla., native worked with her parents to pluck cotton before she enrolled in a high school that was a division of the Georgia State Industrial College in Savannah.
After she obtained her high school diploma in 1929, she earned her bachelor's degree in home economics from Ohio State University.
Later, she studied at Cornell University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Evansville and the University of Kentucky.
According to a story written by Judy Jenkins in The Gleaner, Johnson's role as an extension home economist meant she helped women take good care of their families.
She taught them about low-cost, nutritious foods that could be grown or bought, housekeeping, child development, budgeting and other facets of daily living.
Johnson and her late husband, Starling, a railroad employee, moved to Henderson in 1947 and she worked as a home economist for 23 years.
She was the first black extension agent in Kentucky to receive the Distinguished Service Award from the National Association of Extension Home Economists.
All that work teaching young women how to care for their families enabled her to meet and guide many young souls.
One of those was Chambers, who met Johnson at least 35 years ago.
Both women also attended Greater Norris Chapel Baptist Church, and that's how Johnson became aware of Chambers' skills as a cleaning lady and caretaker.
In late 2000 or early 2001, Chambers moved into Johnson's home to care for her. When Chambers married her husband, William, he moved in as well — with Johnson's permission.
"I know I'm going to miss a very important person that was in my life," Chambers said.
"She meant the world to me. She told me many times that she was so glad that I was there with her. She was like a mother to me, and I was like a daughter to her."

Sochi forces hunt for 3 potential suicide bombers
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Russian security officials are hunting down three potential female suicide bombers, one of whom is believed to be in Sochi, where the Winter Olympics will begin next month.
Police leaflets seen by an Associated Press reporter at a central Sochi hotel on Tuesday contain warnings about three potential suicide bombers. A police letter said that one of them, Ruzanna Ibragimova, a 22-year-old widow of an Islamic militant, was at large in Sochi.
A U.S. congressman who was in Sochi on Tuesday to assess the situation said he was impressed by the work of Russian security forces but troubled that potential suicide bombers had gotten into the city, despite all of the extraordinary security measures.
"We know some of them got through the perimeter," Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee, told The Associated Press. "She's for real. What we don't know is how many more black widows are out there."
Russian authorities have blamed the so-called "black widows" of slain insurgents for previous suicide attacks in the country.
The Black Sea resort town will host the games amid concerns about security and potential terrorist attacks.
The southern city of Volgograd was rocked by two suicide bombings in late December, which killed 34 and injured scores more. An Islamic militant group in Dagestan posted a video on Sunday claiming responsibility for the bombings and threatened to strike the games in Sochi, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) west of Dagestan.
McCaul, a Republican from Texas, said he had numerous meetings with officials in Moscow and Sochi, and was briefed by the joint operation center in Sochi, which is responsible for overall security in the area.
"The one improvement I would ask of the Russians is to allow our intelligence services to coordinate and cooperate better with theirs," McCaul said. Although the Russian side was confident that it could provide security, the U.S. has information that could help keep the games safe, he said.
The congressman also expressed concern that terrorists could have gotten into Sochi before security was tightened.
"How many potential cells could be in Sochi and the Olympic village?" he said. "But after 'the ring of steel' was implemented we have this one person who seems to have been able to penetrate it. It does demonstrate vulnerability."
Police material distributed to the hotel staff included pictures of two other women in veils: 26-year-old Zaira Aliyeva and 34-year-old Dzhannet Tsakhayeva. It said they had been trained "to perpetrate acts of terrorism."
It warned that the two women "are probably among us," but, unlike Ibragimova's case, did not say if they are in Sochi.
No further information was provided about the two women or their motivation. The term "black widow" refers to the belief that women who have carried out past suicide attacks in Russia did so to avenge the deaths of husbands or other male relatives.
Security officials in Sochi were not available for comment on Tuesday.
The Olympics are to be held Feb. 7-23. Russia has mounted an intense security operation in the city, but concern persists that "soft targets" outside the Olympic venues, such as buses and tourist facilities, are vulnerable to attack.

An Old style whiskey cocktail
High West is Utah's first distillery since the 1870's, .located 7000 feet in the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains in Old Town Park City, Utah. Amazingly The High West Distillery also features a ski in Saloon. … see full wiki
High West Whiskey – Rendezvous (89.5/100)
A Review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
A Brand new Whiskey company is on the block with their distillery in of all places Utah Wyoming. Even more amazing is the ski in distillery salloon. Although High west has not aged any of their own whiskey long enough to sell, I think we can gather some information about what their ultimate plans are by reviewing this unique blend of two straight Rye whiskeys. The first a 6 yr old 95% rye and the second a 16 yr old 80% rye. Each was aged in new oak prior to blending. High West purchased the whisky in Kentucky and blended and bottled their Rendevous.
In the Bottle: 3.5/5.0
A nice bottle design with a sealed cork topper. Close examination of the cork reveals a large crack, indicating break down of the cork already. I wish the topper would have been wax sealed for storage, and the entire presentation should have been in some sort of sleeve to protect against UV damage or the glass frosted. The protective sleeve is just a niggle, but as a collector I wish North American distillers would learn a little from the Scots. I may own a bottle for ten or twenty years before it is opened, or resold. I want the contents unchanged.
In the Glass: 9.5/10
Upon pouring the bottle we have a really nice nose. Full spicy Rye with a ribbon of bourbon vanilla. Swirling the glass we get some small legs indicating a little oil in the mix. Nice! Letting the glass sit the bourbon note becomes stronger but still spicy ryeness dominates. I wouldn't call this floral, but we do have a bit of alpine meadow here.
In my Mouth: 54/60
I can taste three distinct flavours here. First is a spicy hard rye which reached up and grabbed my tonsils as soon as the first mouthful hit the back of my throat. Behind the first wave we have a smoother spice which coats my palate. I taste oak tannin disguising itself as cloves and cinnamon, but with a gentle oil giving this depth. The two ryes don't really compete for my attention, The first rye grabs it and the second rye holds it. Entwined within this ocean of rye is a ribbon of bourbon and vanilla. Whether this is the result of fresh oak or the result of corn in one or both of the mashes I am not certain. We have a nice ocean of rye with a bourbon influence that compliments but does not dominate. However a certain bitter punkiness (probably wayward sulpher or maybe that oak tannin I mentioned earlier) arises in the very bottom of this ocean spoiling what could have been sensational.
In the Throat: 13.5/15
A very nice burn with a nice long finish. The spicy rye stays in my palate and the ribbons of bourbon leave their trails in my throat. A small foggy bitterness stays at the very back of the throat.
The Afterburn: 9.0/10
I really like how the rye is front and center. The 46% alcohol gave this a really nice kick as well. My final impression though is one of tiny details left undone, maybe the two ryes in the blend needed a marriage in oak before bottling. Maybe the inferior corkage put that hint of bitter note into the mix. It hard to say. I really want to score this higher but when I go through my ratings I just can't quite justify it.
