Letter to the Editor: Take pride in city; start bag fee
CORPUS CHRISTI - Weldon Lucas
Take pride in city; start bag fee
I know this a touchy subject but let's face it, people are usually resistant to change. There was a time when plastic bags seemed like progress and the thought of giving up this disposable luxury is hard to swallow.
The reality is that these plastic bags were never free because the hidden costs are being passed on to the consumer and taxpaying residents. Even worse, the pollution and eyesore of these bags are making their way into our food chain and are just ugly for any local or visitor to see.
I think the issue is more about creating pride in our community and city by changing our habits for a better tomorrow for the future of Corpus Christi and the many people who live and visit here.
Let's come together and show our pride by making a change for the better by bringing our own bag and using a bag fee to encourage others to do the same.

A lot of times people find themselves facing or having faced situations which hurt them emotionally. This is what it says on the website SharingDard.com and its completely true. What happens later, almost everyone of us is aware of that. Many a times, we find ourselves sharingour grief with some of our close ones; but sometimes it gets so bad, that we feel alone even in a group of people.
Remember, we had those confession pages few months back? They did everything to a confesion except share the burden of the confessor. Then, A group of brillinat IIM-L graduates took it a notch up by starting up SharingDard.com, a website that allows you to share your dard(pain/grief) anonymously and also provides support and valuable advice to you as well.
We interviewed Lima from SharingDard.com recently, and we would like to share the conversation with you.
What is it about?
SharingDard.com is an online platform for people who want to share their innermost, confusing, frustrating thoughts, past experiences or current problems, which they are otherwise not comfortable in sharing even with their close friends, or simply don't have someone to share it with. The community also helps each other through their past experiences giving advice to people stuck in similar situations. At SharingDard.com you would find a listener, a shoulder to lean on and the support to move on.
How did you come across the Idea?
The idea came up during our college days at IIM Lucknow. We were simply sharing our own issues with friends and that is when is struck us that we should make a common place accessible to everybody where they can be anonymous and let go of their emotional baggage. But soon after college we got placed in MNCs and the idea remained so. Almost a year into our jobs we felt the need in our lives to have such a community online; that is when the idea actually took shape and we started working on it.
Target Audience, if any?
Our target audience is people staying in Metros with access to Internet and above the age of 15 years.
Any similar services exist?
Since the concept of accepting one's emotional weak self is not stigmatized in West, there are similar forums which exist in some parts where people vent out in general. Some counselors also provide similar services at a smaller scale.
How is your startup different from the others (Facebook Confession Pages)?
As we already mentioned, there is nothing yet that understands emotions in its entirety and gives the users feeling of community. Even in Facebook Confession Pages there is simply a one-way interaction – screened and posted by the admin.
Something you would like to tell about the founders?
Well there are three founders – Sumant Gajbhiye, Gaurav Rajan and Ritika Sharma and a core team member – Lima James. We all belong to the same IIM Lucknow Batch –Batch of 2011. All three have worked for big corporates like Airtel and Accenture, Wipro and Batelco, GlaxoSmithKline and Lenovo respectively.
Any hurdles you faced while establishing the startup?
We did face some hurdles. Other than the usual ones like the decision to leave a well-paying job for a startup and family pressures, one of the major problems came from vendors. Many-a-times we would schedule some milestone based on the date promised by our vendors however we almost never got the deliverables at the promised time. Things would then go on back burner or we would have to re-schedule every other thing that depended on that deliverable.
Any Funda for budding Entrepreneurs?
If you are planning to be an entrepreneur you need to believe in your idea. People may or may not understand and accept it but it is your baby and you need to make people understand; make them see it through your eyes. At the same time you also need to get others opinion about your product and the strategy for your venture because sometimes your own ill-conceived preconceptions may make you take biased decisions.
Anything else you would like to add?
I think that would be it. We would definitely love you to become a user of SharingDard ; and help others on the network. Do give us any feedback you have about the idea and/or the website.
We checked the website and were amazed to see how simple yet effective is their idea. We encourage our dear readers to check the website and use it for your benefit.
Here is their team pic,
And Comptalks wishes them huge success in future! Keep up the noble work, guys. :)

Here's Access Hollywood's Breaking Dawn – Part 2 press junket interview with Jackson and Nikki. Screencaps coming soonish!
Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone tell Access how emotional they feel about "The Twilight Saga" coming to an end. So, what won't they miss about "The Twilight Saga"? Plus, they chat about the final battle scene in the movie.
"I think I've proved time and time again that old Bella represents , comes out on top," Kristen Stewart says.
The press conference and junket for Breaking Dawn – Part 2 are currently underway today and we already have our first set of photos of Jackson at the conference! Thanks to the following for the photos: KalebNation, Twilightish, YahooMovies, letter2twilight, teamtwilighters, UniNewsEnt, KristaRichmond, BreakingDawnMov and TSTPodcast.

Twilightish: On doing stunts, Jackson said it was fun to explore new styles and techniques. It looks amazing on screen.
Twilightish: Nikki says @ToniTrucks choreographed the cast dance to Sweet Dreams performed for Bill Condon. They practiced on lunch breaks.
Fandango: Rathbone: The last 20 minutes will be really exciting for fans. It harkens back to the first Twilight. #BreakingDawnPt2 -LG
HarperJen: @JacksonRathbone on what he'd give Jasper for Christmas: "I think I'd give Jasper a gift card for the local blood bank." #BD2

By now, many in the Cloud Computing space have heard about (or even read) the University of California Electrical Engineering & Computer Science's (EECS) study on Cloud Computing titled: "Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing." Published on February 10th, 2009, the EECS's paper provides a seemingly academic study of the Cloud Computing movement, attempts to explain what Cloud Computing is all about, and identifies potential opportunities as well as challenges present within the market.
The 20+ page study is authored by Michael Armbrust, Armando Fox, Rean Griffith, Anthony D. Joseph, Randy H. Katz, Andrew Konwinski, Gunho Lee, David A. Patterson, Ariel Rabkin, Ion Stoica and Matei Zaharia who all work in RAD Lab. (Interestingly, several of the companies mentioned within the study are also Founding Sponsors and/or affiliate members: Sun, Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, etc.).
There has already been plenty of discussion and analysis of this study (by James Urquhart, Krishna Sankar and has even appeared on Slashdot.org). Needless to say, I felt compelled to get my two cents in, especially from the perspective of a Cloud Computing Infrastructure vendor.
From an academic standpoint, this document definitely has some legs. It is complete with carefully thought out scenarios, examples and even formulae, as well as graphs and tables. Some of the points that are brought up even got me scratching my head (e.g., using flash memory to help by "adding another relatively fast layer to the classic memory hierarchy"). Even the case analysis of a DDoS attack from a cost perspective of those initiating an attack to those warding off an attack on a Cloud was interesting to ponder. I commend these group of authors on undertaking such a grand task of not only writing by committee but also overlaying a very business school vs. mathematics and computer sciences approach to the writing and analysis.
Unfortunately, however, as I read through the document, I started scrawling madly in the margins with commentary that is somewhat contrary to what was written within the study.

achieving this laudatory outcome and offer research and policy strategies that may help move the nation in this direction.
The Goal 1 Technical Planning Group (1993, p. 1) also highlighted three objectives for families and communities necessary to support school readiness:
Objective 1. All children will have access to high quality and developmentally appropriate preschool programs that help prepare children for school;
Objective 2. Every parent in America will be a child's first teacher and devote time each day helping his or her preschool child learn; parents will have access to the training and support they need; and
Objective 3. Children will receive the nutrition and health care needed to arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies, and the number of low-birthweight babies will be significantly reduced through enhanced prenatal health systems.
Clearly, the interplay of all of these objectives is necessary to ensure that young children are in the optimal state of physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being when they enter school.
The dimensions of school readiness outlined by the Goal 1 Technical Planning Group (1993) include aspects of physical health, as well as social, emotional, and cognitive development. These five dimensions are listed below (from Love et al., 1994, pp. 4–5):
Physical well-being and motor development
Physical development (rate of growth and physical fitness)
Physical abilities (gross motor skills, fine motor skills, oral motor skills, and functional performance)
Background and contextual conditions of [physical] development (vulnerabilities, such as prenatal alcohol exposure; environmental risks, such as harmful aspects of the community environment; health care utilization; and adverse conditions, such as disease and disability)
Social and emotional development
Emotional development (feeling states regarding self and others, including self-concept; emotions, such as joy, fear, anger, grief, disgust, delight, horror, shame, pride, and guilt; and the ability to express feelings appropriately, including empathy and sensitivity to the feelings of others)
Social development (ability to form and sustain social relationships with adults and friends, and social skills necessary to cooperate with peers; ability to

Thanks to the new state of the art track facility there is great anticipation for the approaching track season.
Harrison County is hosting three big "all-comers" meets as well as hosting the most talented AA Region in the state for the regional meet.
In the second year for the Fillies and Thorobreds runners to be in this powerful region, Harrison County figures to compete for the championships.
I admired my dad for many reasons. Some I inherited and passed along to the daughters and grand kids and some I did not inherit. Some I inherited and didn't pass along, mainly because they didn't need or want them.
My dad was a very patient person for the most part and one who would never intentionally say or do anything to offend anyone else. I inherited some of that quality, but not all and hope I passed it along.
There are some traits such as an old saying that fit every occasion, which I will go into in this column.
In what may be a preview of an outstanding season to come, the Harrison County Fillies beat Lexington Christian 23-0 Saturday afternoon in a pre-season scrimmage. In the game, played on Shirley Field, the Lexington squad managed one walk for their total offensive output. The Fillies used four total pitchers, Tracey Hicks, Ashley Coppage, and sixth graders Jamie Davis and Kecia Stephens to completely shut down the opposition.
Harrison County's Wrestling Booster Club held the 16th annual Awards Bash at the Extension Office Sunday afternoon.
Coach Russ Riegel was the emcee and master of ceremony for the event which featured a lasagna dinner with salads, pizza and desert.
Northcutt is state archery champ
Middle school and high school students competed in the state archery tournament in Louisville Tuesday, coming home with the first ever state champ from Harrison County.
HCHS sophomore Keith Northcutt won the high school division, with the highest individual overall score of 293 out of 300.
HCMS eighth grader Brandon White placed seventh in the middle school division.
"They behaved really well and I was proud of every one of them," said head coach Rossie Barnes. "They all did good..."
Ross Smith won his number one singles match against Scott's Cory Hudson 8-4, but that was all of the success Harrison County managed Tuesday night on the road at Scott. Charlie Smith fell to Erin Miller 4-8, Wes Barnett dropped his match to Michael Sandoval 2-8, Ben McDonald dropped a hard fought match to Adam Venci 5-8, Cory McCauley lost to Andreo Sebastiani 3-8 and Austin Roberts was white washed 0-8 by Sam Reihmer.
I guess listening to Jim Swinford's accounts of the Thorobreds and Fillies has spoiled me, but the constant barrage of jabber coming from the television commentators is driving me nuts. Sure, Jim gets excited now and then and is a little hard to understand during these times, but Jim is a legitimate fan of Harrison County so that is okay.
The television people are so bad I actually turn the sound off and just watch the game.
April Sadness Tourney
In response to the March Madness craze the City of Cynthiana is holding a basketball tournament featuring teams from four of the city's departments.
The Food Pantry will be the beneficiary of the event, which has been named April Sadness, as admission for each game will be one non-perishable food item.
The Shamrock Shuffle 3K was held in Lexington last Saturday with Harrison County native and Georgetown College runner Luke Garnett the overall winner. Garnett set a record time for the race, which is run through the streets of Lexington, of 9:10 for the 3K distance. This is the fourth year of the event which benefits the Humane Society.
There were 16 runners from the county from ages eight to 50. Debbie Biddle also won her age group as did Garnett since he was the overall winner. Biddle's time was 13:38.
Coach Mac Whitaker and the Harrison County Thorobreds baseball squad are preparing for a season full of games with top-notch competition.
The schedule not only has the much-anticipated trip to Las Vegas, but also many of the better teams of Kentucky to play both here and on the road.
The Bishop Gorman's Easter Classic in Las Vegas will be held April 7-10, which will be after the Harrison County squad has already played at least seven games. Of course, all of the games are weather permitting.

Ashley Milley (Sudbury, Mass.) was the recipient of the Unsung Hero of the Year award while Michaela Hardy (Reading, Mass.) was named to the All-America Second Team and Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.) received All-Rookie Team distinction.
Bridgeman guided New Hampshire to a 13-6 overall record in 2008. The 13 wins, which included a pair of road wins against top-10 teams, is the second-highest single-season total in the program's 32-year history. The Wildcats received an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991 (the 'Cats received automatic qualifier status in '04) and were ranked in each of the last six IWLCA polls, including a high of No. 13 – the team's highest rank since 1992 -- in the final poll. In her UNH tenure, Bridgeman has been honored three times as America East Coach of the Year and once as IWLCA Regional Coach of the Year.
Milley, a senior goalkeeper whose other 2008 accolades include Northeast Region Second Team and America East All-Conference First Team, was cited by Womenslacrosse.com for "providing phenomenal senior leadership to a team that had not been to the NCAA tournament in their careers. Behind a stellar season from Milley in the cage, the Wildcats upset a pair of top-10 teams and moved up into the top-15 in the polls." She was named to the Womenslacrosse.com Player of the Week Honor Roll on March 18 following wins against previously-unbeaten Harvard University and 10th-ranked Vanderbilt University.
Milley recorded personal bests in wins (13), goals-against-average (7.92) and save percentage (.483) in 2008; the 13 wins ranks second on UNH's list of single-season superlatives. With those
Hardy, a junior midfielder who garnered Northeast Regional First Team and America East All-Conference First Team, led the team in goals (52), points (59), caused turnovers (26) and shots (128); her 52 goals ranks eighth on the program's list of single-season superlatives. With those numbers, Hardy is ranked 30th in the nation in goals per game (2.74). In America East conference games, she was the leader in both goals per game (3.67) and caused turnovers per game (1.50). Hardy ended the season with a 16-game goal-scoring streak and she scored a goal in 18 of 19 games this season with 13 multiple-goal efforts. She scored a career-high seven goals April 5 at Stony Brook University and matched that personal best of seven points with a five-goal, two-assist effort April 20 vs. the University of Oregon.
Duclos, a rookie defender, was among the team leaders in ground balls (23), draw controls (33) and caused turnovers (10) – she was second in DC and sixth in both GB and CTO – despite missing five games. In addition to her outstanding play on the defensive end of the field and her critical role taking draw controls, Duclos recorded two points with a goal and an assist. Duclos was a Northeast Region Second Team selection and was also named to the league's All-Conference First Team and All-Rookie Team.

1. Have students include an annotated bibliography instead of the traditional list of sources. This could be required early in the semester to ensure that they actually start researching and reading early.
2. Require photocopies of references with relevant sections highlighted.
3. Have students present their papers orally, answer questions, defend their positions.
4. Assign papers shorter than 6 pages (6 being the minimum for most paper mills).
5. Require a certain number of recent references restricted to holdings in the university library system.
6. Require students to relate their topic to one or more specific sources--a particular article, what was discussed in class or in the textbook, etc.
7. After the paper is turned in, have a one-on-one conference in your office with the student to ask questions about different aspects of the paper. "What did you mean by...?"
8. Have students write an essay to answer these kinds of questions: What did you learn from the assignment? What problems did you face and how did you overcome them? What research strategy did you follow? Where did you locate most of your sources? What is the most important thing you learned from investigating this subject? (Harris) What part of the project are you most proud of? This could be:
9. Stagger due dates for different parts of the paper--assign the paper as a process. Require the paper to be formed through a series of small steps at weekly or biweekly intervals.
10. Have students read each other's drafts.
11. Require a research log -- what search engines were used, what journal indexes, what librarians were consulted, what reference works were used---with a note about what was helpful and what wasn't. This could be turned in with the paper or with each piece of the process.
12. Have students create a "person-noting" page acknowledging all persons who provided any type of assistance.
13. Require a component in the paper consisting of a personal experience, a survey, or a transcript of an interview.
14. Include a question on the final exam that asks students to summarize the main points of their research papers.
15. Require students to hand in notes or outlines with their papers.
16. If students are interested in their topics, they will be more likely to do the research themselves.
17. At the beginning of the process, set up a work session in the library--have a reference librarian talk to the class about the best sources for their topics and provide time for students to begin gathering information. In addition to getting them started, the librarian becomes a familiar resource for them to contact in the future.
18. Have students turn in printouts from database searches as an early step. Ask a librarian to look over them and help you evaluate the effectiveness of students' research strategies. (Stilling)
19. Keep a writing portfolio of each student's past written assignments for comparison; or at the beginning of the term have students write one page in class to get evidence of writing level for future.
20. Do not allow students to change topics at the last minute.
21. Change topics each semester.
Topic and assignment ideas to eliminate paper mill use:
1. Write about local issues.
2. Assign various sides of an issue to students in the class. Then have them debate it when they turn in the papers.
3. Research very narrow topics or an unusual combination of topics.
4. Provide a list of topics. Change it every year.
5. Ask students to write about current events as they relate to class materials.
6. Choose a past event and trace how it was covered in the various types of media (news, newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.)
7. Have students compare media coverage of two similar events. e.g. Assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. Could be inventions, scientific or medical discoveries, etc.
8. Trace the coverage of an event in old newspapers and compare with what is known about the event today.
9. Make the assignment an interview with a leading figure of the time. Students would research the person, write up an introduction, compose 10 questions to ask the person, and write out what they think the person would have said in response.
10. Have students select a primary source document such as a diary and write about its author, historical context, identify/explain unfamiliar terms, customs, etc. The library has collections of many primary source materials. Any of the reference librarians can help you.
11. Assign a multimedia presentation rather than a straight term paper.
12. Have students write a diary as if they were participants in a historical event.
13. Require comparison of two viewpoints or documents on the same issue.
14. Have the student adopt the point of view of an historical character.
15. Have students compare a scholarly journal article, a magazine article, a newspaper article, and a Web site on the same topic.
16. Have students write a newspaper story describing an event.
17. Have students write an editorial or opinion piece. It could be in historical context.
18. Compare journal articles with conservative vs. liberal tendencies.
19. Using bibliographies, guides to the literature and the Web, ask students to find primary sources on an issue or event, and write about them.
20. Interview older family members about their earlier life; research that time period and weave personal material with background. Use newspapers and magazines of the time to see what information the person was receiving.
21. Have students write an extensive obituary (as in the New York Times) for a person who is still alive.
22. Students choose (or are assigned) a scholar/researcher. Explore that person's career and ideas by locating biographical information, preparing a bibliography of his/her writings, analyzing the reaction of the scholarly community to the researcher's work, and examining the scholarly network in which s/he works. (Sexty)
23. Read the articles cited in a research paper. Explain how each is related to the paper. In what circumstances is it appropriate to cite other papers? What different purposes do the citations serve? (Sexty)
24. Examine the treatment of a controversial issue in several sources (newspaper editorial, scholarly journal, journals from different disciplines, etc.) (Sexty)
25. Ask each student to describe a career they envision themselves in and then research the career choice. What are the leading companies in that area? Why? (If they choose something generic like marketing, what is the best company in their county of residence to work for? Why?) If the company is graded publicly, what is its net worth? What is the outlook for this occupation? Expected starting salary? How do the outlook and salaries vary by geography? (Ricigliano)

A splendid blazer at a good price. The photograph appeared to show a rather conservative dull or "off black" which was not the case.I could not use the color nor the tan.A well made and handsome blazer that I regret that I cannot wear.

Primary tabs
Vol. 19 No. 1
The Democrats' Strategic Challenge
If the Democrats win the election, can the next president and Congress make significant progress toward realizing liberal aspirations? Here's how -- a road map for the start of a new America.
Good Jobs in a Global Economy
The next president can change our trade and labor policies to rebuild the American middle class.
Why 2009 Is the Year for Universal Health Care
It's not 1994 all over again. The next president can get the reforms that Harry Truman and Bill Clinton couldn't.
A Conversation with Doris Kearns Goodwin
Great presidents build support for transformative change. What can the next president do to revive a sense of common purpose?
What to Really Do About Immigration
Half a million Mexicans will cross the border annually for the next 15 years. Here's a plan to enable them to stay home.
Color, Values, America
Our next president must restore the United States as a nation of laws and of rights, rooted deeply in values. This effort must appeal to all Americans and transcend race -- but cannot ignore race.
Healing Our Self-Inflicted Wounds
How the next president can restore the rule of law to U.S. foreign policy -- and rebuild American credibility and power.
Leaving "No Child Left Behind" Behind
Our No. 1 education program is incoherent, unworkable, and doomed. But the next president still can have a huge impact on improving American schooling.
Financing the Common Good
After three decades of government starvation of necessary resources, the next president needs to champion progressive taxation with the proceeds invested in social outlays that make for a more productive economy.
This Will Mean the World to Us
Despite decades of delay, the next administration could still move us toward a solution before devastating climate change becomes irreversible.
What Ever Happened to Moderate Republicans?
With the hard right dominating their party, two groups have formed to recenter the Republicans. But even in their old habitats -- Wall Street and the media -- they're struggling to be noticed.
Vol. 18 No. 11
How Hillary's Done It--So Far
Thanks to her sure-footedness, her rivals' mistakes, and diminishing Democratic divisions, Hillary Clinton has built a commanding lead. But we haven't heard from Iowa yet.
Issuu Version Of Freshman
Left Behind?
Ossining, New York, was at the forefront of school integration. But as American law and public opinion turn against race-based programs, can the town continue to use racial targeting to close the achievement gap?
The Supreme Court's Wrong Turn -- And How to Fix It
After posing as moderates, Justices Roberts and Alito have moved the Court radically to the right.
Repealing the 20th Century
When most Americans think about the Supreme Court's effect, they think about such cultural hot-buttons as abortion, or due process for terrorists.
Vol. 18 No. 10
The Revolt of the Comic Books
America's superheroes take on preemptive war, torture, warrantless spying, and George W. himself.
Prince William's Folly
In the Virginia suburbs of Washington, one county has declared war against its undocumented immigrants. With exceedingly limited political clout, the immigrants are still finding ways to fight back.
Abolish the Air Force
What it does on its own -- strategic bombing -- isn't suited to modern warfare. What it does well -- its tactical support missions -- could be better managed by the Army and Navy. It's time to break up the Air Force. PLUS: Farley discusses his case for abolishing the Air Force with several bloggers.
Tomorrow, the World
Flush with cash and ancient hatreds, American evangelicals are incubating a Christian right in secular Europe.
Who's to Blame for the Brave New Economy?
Are we all complicit in the erosion of economic stability in American life? Or are corporate and financial elites the culprits? Our resident Roberts -- each of whom has authored a new book on the political economy -- argue the responsibility question.
The Sisyphus from Searchlight
The question of Harry Reid's effectiveness has been a parlor game in Washington since he took over as minority leader. But has Reid been judged too harshly for Democrats' failure to end the war?
In Iraq Forever
Despite the Bush administration's party line, construction of permanent U.S. bases along with long-term plans for troop presence continue apace.
Bush's Neo-Imperialist War
Our Iraqi occupation not only rejects American foreign policy since Wilson, it's a throwback to the great power imperialism that led to World War I.
Vol. 18 No. 9
The Hillarycare Mythology
Did Hillary doom health reform in 1993? Here's the real story, from the Prospect co-editor who was a White House senior health policy advisor at the time.
God's Precinct Walkers
When students at conservative Christian Patrick Henry College
entered the real world of Republican campaigns in a swing state, they found that God's plan did not always include victory.
Schools as Scapegoats
Our increasing inequality and our competitiveness problems are huge -- but they can't be laid at the door of our education system.
Immigration Issues: City on a Hill
Issuing ID cards to immigrants and citizens alike, liberal New Haven charts a course for cities that want to treat immigrants like people.
The Fence to Nowhere
More than ever, we need to craft an accord on migrant workers.
Medifraud Amok
Heard about the company that resold the drugs that came back in the mail? That's apparently just a normal day in the life of our under-regulated drug industry.
Immigration Issues: After Failure
With immigration reform dead, Democrats court Hispanics and Republicans go (more) nativist.
Leo the Linchpin
Steelworker President Leo Gerard looks like an old-time union leader, but he's put together a labor-environmentalist alliance that bridges some growing Democratic fissures.
The Bubble Economy
The sub-prime mess, the huge risks taken by hedge funds, and the conflicts of interest that led to Enron are all the consequences of serial bouts of financial deregulation. Will we reverse field in time to prevent another 1929?
Vol. 18 No. 8
The Trouble with Impeachment
Bush and Cheney merit impeachment and conviction -- that doesn't make it a good idea.
Share the Credit
Why extending income tax credits to payroll tax payers should be the next big idea in American politics -- politically unassailable, progressive economics on a grand scale.
First Gonzales, then Bush
Impeachment should be a serious option -- with an intermediary step.
The Myth of the Balanced Court
In 1980, John Paul Stevens stood at the center of the Supreme Court. Today, he is its most left-wing member -- and he hasn't changed.
Young, Black, and Post-Civil Rights
There's a new generation of African American political leaders, and they aren't confining their careers to black districts -- they're calling for race-blind, not race-based, policies.
This Year's Charade
Mitt Romney may be campaigning as the compassionate conservative, but, as George W. Bush has shown, winning the right wing's backing guarantees a right-wing president.

PSCC formalizes affiliation with Swedish Cancer Institute
After many years of working together to provide our patients with the highest quality cancer care, we are pleased to announce that Puget Sound Cancer Centers (PSCC) has finalized its affiliation with the Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI) and on July 1st, PSCC physicians and care teams from North Seattle and Edmonds formally became a part of the Swedish Cancer Institute. This is a natural next step in the relationship we've shared with the Institute for more than two decades. As a member of the SCI network, we look forward to playing a significant role in realizing our shared mission of providing patients with expert and personalized cancer care services close to home. You can read more about the affiliation here.
PSCC's affiliation with Swedish Cancer Institute brings the best of both worlds together.
When it comes to treating cancer and blood diseases, PSCC had been at the forefront of research and creative applications of treatments for decades. As part of Swedish Cancer Institute and affiliated with US Oncology Research, we have the flexibility to utilize new drugs, approaches and treatments from around the world. And with the comprehensive electronic medical records system at Swedish Cancer Institute, patients have access to an integrated system of care with an ongoing record throughout the SCI network.
Along with receiving the most advanced cancer treatments available, including access to clinical trials, our patients really appreciate receiving their care close to home in a more personalized and compassionate environment.
Call us and take the first steps toward receiving better cancer care.

My friends tell me I'm an artist, but I don't know what that is. I just draw. It's just as natural as breathing. Nothing to it. Or so I thought, until I read this great thing Dave Mustaine wrote about playing a guitar:
"When I held a guitar in my hands, I felt good about myself. When I played music, I felt a sense of comfort and accomplishment that I'd never known as a child. When I replicated the songs that I loved, I felt an attachment to them and to the musicians who had composed them. And when I started writing songs of my own, I felt like an artist, able to express myself for the very first time."
(Mustaine D., Layden J.,'Mustaine A Heavy Metal Memoir', Harper Collins, 2010, p.27)
I can absolutely relate to that when it comes to my drawing
You are more than welcome to watch my stuff. I don't think it's good enough to be 'stolen', so I won't bother writing how pissed off I'd be if you claimed it as your own/changed it without my knowledge.
But if you do think it's good enough... well too bad for you and your fked up taste.
Anyhow, ENJOY!
