This Week… starting May 3, 2010
Municipal Fiestas This Week
If you love Music and Dance, May and June in Yucatan are made for you! Once we get past the first few days in May [International Workers Day (May 1) and Cinco de Mayo (May 5)], there will be non-stop recitals by some of the most wonderful performers in the world. Many of the performers are working toward advanced degrees or training professionally with some of our own world-renowned performance artists. These recitals are rites of passage into the advanced world of music, voice, and dance… and we get to watch it all – every May and June – right here in Merida, Yucatan! So, enjoy this relatively quiet week because there is much more to come!
Tecoh Fiesta – 3 Day Event: May 3 through May 5
This fiesta is dedicated to Santa Cruz. Tecoh lies on the southeastern boundry of the Municipality of Merida. Look for talented artisans making woven hemp hammocks and carved wooden chests in Tecoh. …and the food in Tecoh is great! Before you decide that Tecoh may be too far off the grid for you, take a look at what you can expect to find out there.
Sacalum Fiesta 1 Day Event – May 3
This fiesta is in honor of Santa Cruz. Sacalum is right on the way to anywhere you want to go in southwestern Yucatan. It is just past Tecoh and Abala, and just this side of Ticul and Muna. Lots of agriculture, cattle and horses here, so look for great leatherwork. Visit Pueblos America for a google map to Sacalum.
Uayma Fiesta 1 Day Event – May 3
This fiesta is in honor of Santa Cruz. Uayma is just to the west of both Temozon and Valladolid, and just south of Espita. We figure that places Uayma just about in the middle of most of the important Mayan events in history. There is a beautiful, 16th century convent and temple (Santo Domingo) in Uayma that was burned during the Caste War, but still retains much of its beauty… we wrote an article about Uayma here. And, while we usually think of pottery as coming from directly south of Merida, the making of pottery is the most important work of the artisans in Uayma. Do try to stop in Uayma the next time you go to Valladolid or to Temozon. We know you'll be glad you did.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2011 With the growing popularity of online learning materials, how is one to know what's available and whether it's any good?
A new Learning Registry launched yesterday by the Department of Defense and Department of Education will help make it easier for students and educators alike to identify source materials tailored to their needs, Frank C. DiGiovanni, director of training readiness and strategy in the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Readiness, told American Forces Press Service.
But equally valuable, he said, will be user ratings about how effective those materials are.
"This is a place that educators and individuals can go to look at online learning content," DiGiovanni said. "And what's different about this particular registry is that it uses networking techniques to … populate it from authoritative sources and … to for people to be able to rate how good they think the content is."
Unlike most traditional search engines that are limited by what particular crawlers they use and draw up long lists of information regardless of its usefulness, the new registry will help users pinpoint resources that meet their exact needs.
If, for example, someone wanted to find online classes in beginning French, the registry would not only provide an exhaustive list of sources, but also the top-rated offerings on that list.
"This is definitely an educator's resource," DiGiovanni said.
He also noted its value to the DOD training community and individual military members and DOD employees who frequently turn to web-based distance learning to replace or augment traditional education programs.
"When you look at the people we are accessing into the military, it's a wired society, particularly in the younger generation," he said. "By providing learning capabilities in a format that these young and men are used to, we really think we can target our learning capabilities in the Defense Department for that kind of audience."
But the registry won't be limited to federal government users. Anyone will be able to access it and take advantage of its services.
"The Learning Registry will serve as a center repository for learning content across the nation to become visible to the common user," DiGiovanni said. "This is the nation's resource."
He described the version rolled out yesterday at a State Educational Technology Directors Association Leadership Summit here as a "beta capability" that will be improved on over time. "This is a very early prototype, and we are in the process of providing it to the user community for them to help us vet it, validate it and of course, mature it," he said.
DOD, which has served as the federal government's executive agent for online learning technologies since the late 1990s, will be the primary architect behind those improvements, in partnership with the Education Department.
"DOD was seen as a leader, and I think to this day remains a leader in really looking at groundbreaking technologies – not only for the Department of Defense, but for the entire country," DiGiovanni said.
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
How do you access the registry?

I Forgot My Best Friend's Birthday! What Do I Do?!
I had one of those jolting realizations this morning at 6AM that my friend's birthday was on Thursday - and I hadn't called him, texted, emailed, etc. etc. TWO DAYS ago. I feel awful, terrible, horrible, and any combination of those words, and would call him right now except it's 4AM in California.
To try to make up for it I'm sending him a care package. I'm thinking of a bunch of little things, but I want to include a food item that will make it across the country in one piece. Any suggestions? He's sort of a foodie meets high school boy in tastes, quantities, etc. Also, he can't cook or bake. He can assemble, but that's about it.
Please help!!

Food Stamp Online Policy Manual
I. What Is a Medical Deduction?
Medical Deductions Supplement
Section A
(1) Medical Expense
A medical expense is an identifiable medical cost incurred by a household member who meets one of the criteria given in Section B.
Allowable medical costs are:
1. medical and dental care, including psychotherapy and rehabilitation services, provided by a licensed practitioner authorized by state law, of other qualified health professional;
2. hospitalization or outpatient treatment, nursing care, and nursing home care, including payments by the household for an individual who was a household member immediately prior to entering a hospital or nursing home licensed (or recognized) by the state;
3. prescription drugs when prescribed by a licensed practitioner authorized under state law, and over the counter medication (including insulin) when approved by a licensed practitioner or other qualified health professional; in addition, costs of medical supplies, sickroom equipment (including rental) or other prescribed equipment are deductible;
4. health and hospitalization insurance policy premiums (Refer to definition);
5. Medicare premiums related to coverage under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act; and cost-sharing or spend-down expenses incurred by Medicaid recipients;
6. dentures, hearing aids and prosthetics;
7. costs of securing and maintaining an animal specially trained to provide service to the disabled including the cost of food and veterinarian bills. Costs over and above that covered by a reimbursement constitute an allowable deduction;
8. eyeglasses or contact lenses, prescribed by a physician skilled in eye disease or by an optometrist;
9. reasonable cost of transportation and lodging to obtain medical treatment/services;
10. monthly telephone fees for amplifiers and warning signals for handicapped persons;
11. costs of typewriter equipment for the deaf;
12. special diets that require a prescription and must be obtained from a pharmacist (do not count other special diets); and
13. costs of maintaining an attendant, homemaker, home health aid, child care services, or housekeeper that are necessary due to age, infirmity, or illness. In addition, deduct an amount equal to the one-person coupon allotment if the household furnishes the majority of the attendant's meals. The allotment for this meal-related deduction will be that in effect at the time of initial certification. Update the allotment amount at the next scheduled recertification.
(2) Medical Deduction
A medical deduction is the non-reimbursable portion of an allowable medical cost that exceeds $35 per month.
(3) Disability
An individual is considered disabled if he/she meets any of the following criteria (also see Definition Section for Disability):
(a) receives payments for disability or blindness under Titles I, II, X, XIV or XVI of the Social Security Act;
(b) receives federally or state administered supplemental benefits under section 212 (a) of Public Law 93-66;
(c) receives disability retirement benefits from a governmental agency because of a disability considered permanent under Section 221 (i) of the Social Security Act;
(d) receives an annuity payment under Section 2 (a)(l)(iv) of Railroad Retirement Act of 1984 and is determined to be eligible to receive Medicare by the Railroad Retirement Board;
(e) receives an annuity payment under Section 2 (a)(i)(v) of the Railroad Retirement Act of 1984 and is determined to be disabled based on the criteria used under Title XVI of the Social Security Act (SSI);
(f) receives interim or presumptive assistance payments pending receipt of SSI;
(g) receives medical assistance based on disability under Title XIX (Medicaid);
(h) is a veteran receiving VA benefits for a service or non-service connected disability rated or paid as total or is considered by VA standards to be in need of regular aid and attendance or considered permanently housebound;
(i) is a disabled surviving spouse of a veteran and is considered by VA standards to be in need of regular aid and attendance or is permanently housebound;
(j) is a disabled surviving child of a veteran and is considered by VA standards to be permanently incapable of self-support;
(k) is a surviving spouse or child of a veteran and entitled to VA compensation for a service-connected death or VA pension benefit for a non-service-connected death and has a disability considered permanent under the Social Security Act.
(4) Entitled (in relation to disability)
"Entitled" refers to a surviving spouse and children of veterans who are receiving the compensation or benefits stated in the Disability definition, or have been approved for such payments but are not yet receiving them.
(5) Health & Hospitalization Insurance Policies
A health and hospitalization insurance policy pays for medical services, either on an out-patient basis (major medical), or due to hospitalization. The payment is normally made directly to the medical service provider or as a reimbursement to the insured.
Do not consider the following:
a. the cost of "health and accident" policies that are payable in a lump sum settlement for death or dismemberment;
b. the cost of income maintenance policies that continue mortgage or loan payments while the beneficiary is disabled; or
c. the entire amount of a health or insurance premium if it includes coverage for household members not entitled to a medical deduction.
Allow only that portion of a health or hospitalization insurance premium assigned to a HH member eligible for a medical deduction. If specific information is not available on what portion of the premium is for the eligible member, pro rate the premium to determine the allowable amount for the eligible HH member.
(6) One Time Medical Expenses
One time medical expenses are medical expenses that are not recurring, either on a stable or fluctuating basis.
Examples are:
· a hospital bill;
· a doctor bill for a temporary illness or a minor surgical procedure done in the doctor's office;
· bills for the purchase of prescription eye glasses or contact lens; or
· bills for the purchase of hearing aids.
(7) Recurring Medical Expenses
Recurring medical expenses are those expenses that occur again and again over a period of time. They may be stable or fluctuating.
Generally, insurance premiums and attendant care costs are stable, while prescriptions, doctor bills, and transportation costs are fluctuating.
As a rule, a medical expense recurring at regular intervals, and with a constant cost per occurrence, would be considered stable. An expense which recurs at irregular intervals, or with a changing cost, would be considered fluctuating.

by: Jeff Garcia Let's take a stroll down memory lane with San Antonio Spurs' DeJuan Blair to his high school playing days in Pittsburg.

While with the Spartans, he showed that same hustle, under-the-basket play […] [Read More]
Did Blair want a buyout from Spurs?
by: Jose Grijalva Everyone knew the San Antonio Spurs were trying to trade DeJuan Blair this season, but no one would part with anything with Blair being a free agent this summer. The Spurs weren't going to give Blair away either as he's still a serviceable big man, so it shouldn't come as a surprise […] [Read More]

Blair's agent 'disappointed' deal wasn't made
by: Kyle Boenitz Yesterday was the NBA's trade deadline and it was a relatively disappointing day for those wanting to see some big moves.

Spurs shopping Blair for best offer?
by: Kyle Boenitz For a while now it has seemed like the clock was running out on DeJuan Blair's time with the San Antonio Spurs.

Video: Ginobili behind the back to Blair
by: Jose Grijalva San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili has many tricks up his sleeves when it comes to passing and his return against the Cleveland Cavaliers wasn't going to be an exception to the rule.

Rumor: Bulls interested in Blair?
by: Jose Grijalva DeJuan's Blair season has been frustrating, to put it lightly.

Funniest Joke in the World
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.
He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the hunter says, "OK, now what?""Sifu, I"m niether - I'm a fire dragon so don't **** with me!"

Ritz 10% Off One-Day Sale
Ritz is offering its 10% off sale again for purchasers using Paypal. It's only good for New Year's Eve though.
If you've never used Paypal before, it's simple. Just select it at checkout and you can sign up for an account and even pay with your usual credit card as well. I don't know if Ritz is getting some kickback from Paypal or if it's just cheaper than credit card fees, but there's no additional cost to the buyer.
There are a handful of exclusions, which are as follows: "Exclusions: Gift certificates, out of stock items, and backordered products are not eligible for the 10% discount promotion. The following products are not eligible for the 10% discount promotion: The Canon 5D (all configurations), the Nikon D3x (all configurations), the Nikon D3 (all configurations), the Nikon D300 (all configurations), and the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III (all configurations)."
However, that means the Nikon D700 ($2399 – 10% = $2159), Sony A900 ($2999 – 10% = $2699), Canon 50D w/ 28-135mm IS Lens ($1199 – 10% = $1079) and a ton of other expensive items are open to the discount.
In addition to 10% off, they also offer free shipping for orders over $100 and don't collect sales tax for Internet orders (even if there is a Ritz brick and mortar in your state).

Confessions of a Ritz Camera Salesperson
The Consumerist has an interesting post, which details 10 Confessions of a Ritz Camera Salesperson. The most alarming "confession" was the practice of selling demo cameras as new:
Demo Cameras– We sell them to you and you don't even know it. Everyone's grubby hands have probably been on your camera. It's probably been dropped at some point, not to mention the boxes we get shipments in from UPS look like they've been kicked all the way from the home office to our store. We sell demo cameras at no discount, we just clean them up and put them in a box. Then we are told to lie to you and tell you it's brand new.
I really hope this is not a company practice; however, it is disturbing regardless of how widespread it is. What kind of experiences have you had with Ritz? Any other salespersons or representives from Ritz care to chime in on this one?

Our First Ascent guide team built this ultralight jacket for alpine climbing in cool to cold weather. Windproof shell is recycled ripstop polyester with a StormRepel® durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Super high-loft 800 fill StormDown® is treated with a DWR finish so the down becomes moisture-resistant, allowing it to retain its loft and superior insulating properties even in wet conditions.
Active: Our most athletic fit. Close to the body without restricting mobility. Designed to fit over baselayers and lighweight midlayers.
Keeps Down Dry In Wet Weather
Down is nature's best insulator, but until now dampness rendered it ineffective. Our StormDown™, powered by DownTek™, treats each down cluster with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to prevent internal moisture accumulation and preserve down's structural integrity, lightweight warmth, and exceptional breathability.
"It's made specifically to be a very lightweight layer with down. That makes it lighter than with any other kind of insulation, very compact, and packable. When you wear it, you hardly know you have it on."

Comments about Men's MicroTherm® StormDown® Jacket:
Both my husband and I have several of these jackets and use them for cold weather hiking And love them. They are so warm and light weight. Pack nicely in our backpacks. Not to mention all the compliments we receive from fellow hikiers. The women's I find is small through the bust so I ordered a size up. But love them any way!

Comments about Men's MicroTherm® StormDown® Jacket:
The ONLY reason I did not give this coat 5 stars is because of the fit. I have noticed that most of the outerwear Eddie Bauer makes runs really small in the armpits. Yes, I know that sounds really strange. I am not a muscular guy by any stretch but I cannot wear any of their size large coats. My wife actually has the same exact problem. I am 6 ft. tall, 190-195 lbs. and all of the jackets are incredibly tight under the arms. That's annoying on long hikes, skiing, touring, etc. The coat is a perfect fit but the arm holes are just too small. It is actually pretty frustrating as I've had to go up to the XL which is not a good fit around my midsection. It looks pretty big on me. Please make the arm holes bigger Eddie Bauer. My wife & I love your coats!
Beyond our armhole issues, this jacket is amazing. I have taken it to Argentina, Istanbul, and many other places and it has never failed me. I love the way this thing breaths. It is a good outer layer or inner layer. In other words, this is a very versatile coat and it packs into virtually nothing. I jammed this thing into a small camera bag compartment, pulled it out after several hours and it still looked amazing! It spits some feathers out every now and again but that isn't a bother to me. The weight of this thing is awesome! Love the lightweight for traveling, packing, hiking, camping, walking around town, etc. Love the fact that it is so thin. So many down coats like this make people look like the Michelin Man. Not this coat. Again, this is just a great coat overall. If the armhole thing was fixed it would easily be a five out of five.
I also bought this coat on sale. I would recommend waiting for it to go on sale if you get it. If you do, it is an incredible coat for an incredible price. I actually plan on getting another during the next sale just to get a different color.

Comments about Men's MicroTherm® StormDown® Jacket:
Last year I had bought the MicroTherm Vest as a gift for my brother. He wore it almost everyday during the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. So this year I bought him this jacket as another layering piece. It was a long cold winter in Maine (still cold with a foot or two of snow still) He loves his new jacket. He wears it for outdoor activities like snowshoeing and walking. And everyday wear. (I now have 5 of the First Ascent jackets myself. Love these lightweight and warm jackets)

ROGERSVILLE — Two men accused in the March 16 beating and stabbing death of 52-year-old Roger Hawkins allegedly described for police in grisly detail what they did before, during and after the murder.
Austin Scott Price, 18, and Samuel "Wade" Hirsch, 22, both of Rogersville, appeared before Hawkins County Sessions Judge J. Todd Ross Monday afternoon for a preliminary hearing on one count each of first-degree felony murder.
Hawkins was a disabled 21-year military veteran who had completed tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

you don't have to listen to many Dems to hear exactly that kind of speech. it's common currency among progressives, that we all contribute to the common good. hell, that's a tenet of the progressive "faith". Warren (who i love!) didn't come up with those ideas; i've heard many Democratic politicians saying exactly the same thing for a long time.
Robert, i agree with your assertion that wearing a helmet is a social responsibility. in fact, that's my #1 argument for them being mandatory.
however, insurance for bicyclists is not available. apparently, auto insurance covers you on your bicycle as well, which is useless for the many Portland bike-riders who do not own cars. this is a tricky area of law, and i appreciate you bringing forward the social responsibility argument for wearing helmets.
but nothing ever lets off the hook a driver operating their vehicle in a criminal manner.
thanks for this post, Joseph. this video has been out for a while, and it does a damn good job of making the case for realistic alternatives that cost a lot less money & address the actual issues. and there are a ton of jobs in this plan, too. the more people see Spencer's video, i think the more hopeful we can be to avoid getting lost in a $10B boondoggle.
just a side note: Rep Brewer might be surprised to learn her district has been moved into Portland.
thanks for chipping in with the Jack Bog talking points.
i apologize: she did say "both" non-profit & private sector.
note to the Brady campaign: the Bus Project has paid employees. quite a few. the Bus Project has a national presence, especially via Trick or Vote. 4 other states have their own Bus Projects, also with paid employees (MT, WA, CO, NM). so it's not correct to say only 1 candidate has created a business that has created jobs. Smith has done so, too.
and let's not forget the skills required to manage a legislative office. 2 staffers, committee staff, and working with 59 other politicians to do things like ensure Eastern Oregon has water for wheat & crop production is not something you simply cobble together. you make it happen because you have the kind of skills needed to make big projects happen.
Novick not uncontested. Jeri Williams running against him. she'll make the race more interesting, broader in context. he'll still win, but the campaign will address a wider range of issues & people.
1, classical music in such situations proven to work. 2, his "economic gardening" bill promotes local small/medium business development. again, proven to work: many cities around the world using this concept. 3, eastern oregon aquifer running dry. smith teamed up with rep bob jenson for legislation to refill aquifer from the columbia during the winter. water then stored underground in aquifer til needed in summer.
smart, effective, and o yea: actually works hard for east pdx, too. it'll be a good campaign.
this seat would have stayed Democratic anyway. Barker isn't why the seat held by a Democrat; the VOTERS are the reason that seat is held by Democrats. hard as it may seem for some to believe, Jeff Barker (a terrific guy) is not the only Democrat capable of winning this seat & serving the residents of the district.
and for those who want something better than a "moderate" agenda, this is not very good news at all.
we're fortunate, of course, that fires know how to stop at the reservation's border. so there's no need to work to prevent fires from spreading from the reservation to state or private land. we can station the state's firefighters (including my son) at the border so they can deal with a full-fledged wildfire instead of putting it out asap.
i was hospitalized by a left-hand turn: she just didn't wait for me to clear the intersection (i was going straight & had the right-of-way). right turns are awful too. there are way too many situations that put bicycles, pedistrians and motorcycles at risk from cars & trucks. we can ask for safer driving, more education, etc; but at some point, each driver has to decide that the extra 2 or 3 seconds really isn't worth hurting or killing another person.
Ben Cannon is, without question, the best person in Oregon for this job. all of our kids will be better off with him in this position.
nice try, kid. Isaacs left OLCV in strong shape (he spent 2 years there, not exactly a fly-by), got Merkley elected (gosh, he left after the election. when his job ended), and, oh yea, took back the Oregon House for the Dems. you could only wish he would disappear. you might try some remedial reading courses, or perhaps reading the article.
seriously? it's been in the news repeatedly for months. and right above where you typed in your comment, right there in the HEADLINE - is Kardon's name. spelled for you. with a K.
registration costs more than is gained. licenses, too, will cost more than can be recouped thru fees. how do i know? municipalities have tried it.
more education is needed. let's start with those most likely to cause harm: drivers. i was hit & hospitalized by a car making an unsafe left turn. i did everything right & still almost got killed. a bike breaking the law annoys. a car kills.
insurance? absolutely. as a bicyclist, i'd like that option. when i got hit, had i had car insurance (i don't own a car), it would have been tapped for the accident as if it had been a fender-bender between 2 autos. that's nuts.
remember 2 things: the vast majority of bicycle riders own cars & therefore pay those fees & taxes. but every person on a bike is a car not on the road. in Pdx, most of us are off the main roads, making your drive home a bit less crowded than it would be. actually, a lot less crowded.
the State Finance and Credit Authority (aka State Bank) would not give money directly to businesses; it would provide funds to local banks & credit unions so they could make normal business loans. it would also invest taxpayer money in Oregon, not on Wall Street. it is not a lender or a bank to consumer; it would serve Oregon financial institutions which are being starved of capital by the Wall Street banks.
it's a good idea to know what you are talking about. you do not.
you know, Christiana, i got that same message from Rep Julie Parrish -- word for word. verbatim.
thanks for sharing the talking points.
(previous BPA bills were more general, less directed at food intake. the chemical industry spends huge money on fighting these bills -- i watched their flaks at both hearings -- and i'm afraid at times, their success is bipartisan. this time, of course, support for SB 695 is what is bipartisan. it has majority support in both houses of the Leg.)
this bill was sponsored by Republicans. Rep Parrish, R-Tualatin,West Linn, is the chief sponsor. don't blame Democrats for a bill brought forward by Republicans.
show me where Conger has broken from his party's lockstep attack on anything the Dems bring forward, and then you can toot his horn. he's been a good party soldier throughout the session. asking questions Nielsen finds "sane" and then support divisive politics only makes him a hypocrite.

In the wake of Mitt Romney's decisive victory in Florida, conservatives are faced with a couple of important choices. One is whether they will at some point in the foreseeable future make their peace with the former Massachusetts governor. The other is which of the remaining conservative candidates in the race will they support before they concede Romney is the nominee.
The answer to the first question is obvious. Though some right-wingers may not be able to reconcile themselves to Romney, after a few more primary wins for him, most conservatives will start getting on Mitt's bandwagon in order to prevent Barack Obama's re-election. The answer to the second is not so obvious. Though Newt Gingrich claimed Florida demonstrated that the GOP battle is now a two-person race, the lopsided margin in a state that only Gingrich seriously contested will not inspire much confidence in the former speaker's standing as the leading "not Romney." Though Rick Santorum finished far behind him in Florida, the weird and graceless manner with which Gingrich did not concede after losing combined with the wave of sympathy for Santorum due to his refusal to join the Florida mudslinging and his daughter's illness may make the former Pennsylvania senator the more likely conservative standard bearer going forward.
The fact that Gingrich chose not to congratulate the winner in an election in which he was shellacked was actually not the most interesting aspect of his post-Florida speech on national television. Gingrich not only did not acknowledge Romney's victory other than to note he had been outspent, he also spoke as if he had been the winner, giving a laundry list of actions he would take on his first day in the White House. This disconnect from reality illustrated the dogged determination that has kept him in the race when many believed him dead and buried. But it also reflected the palpable anger and bitterness at the core of Gingrich's approach.
Gingrich's sour grapes about losing (which he and his supporters blamed solely on the winner's negative ads) was, of course, the height of hypocrisy given the nasty ads the former speaker used to win in South Carolina. He also adopted a bizarre class warfare theme as the "people's candidate" which speaks to his personal resentment more than conservative dissatisfaction. He concluded by comparing himself to the signers of the Declaration of Independence in his typical grandiose self-admiring style. While Gingrich is hoping to channel the anger of Tea Party activists and social conservatives who don't trust Romney, this sort of display isn't likely to win many hearts.
By contrast, Santorum can argue, as he did on Tuesday night, Florida was Gingrich's chance and instead of winning, he allowed himself to become the issue, and the result was disaster. While Gingrich's performance as a candidate has been variable, Santorum has been consistently positive in the last month. Although he lacks the big donors who have kept the former speaker going, if he can continue to raise money on the Internet from the grass roots, he can continue running while hoping Gingrich will implode.
Instead of trying to besmirch Romney's personal reputation as Gingrich has done, Santorum has concentrated on health care, the frontrunner's Achilles' heel. While the odds of Santorum being able to beat Romney are minimal, they aren't much smaller than those of Gingrich. In the coming weeks, Santorum has a shot of finishing ahead of Gingrich in several states. This might be the moment when he slips ahead of Gingrich in what will be for all intents and purposes the conservative primary.

I agree with Butlerdidit and think Nate will have coaching options. He did a lot for Portland and one bad year isn't all his fault.
Classy and great coach! thank you for all your hardwork Mr. McMillan and good luck!
Great to see him at the game! I sure miss watching him play and the Blazers are not the same since he has been gone.
Your post says the same thing over and over. It is boring and tedious. Just like the Blazers, you could try a new perspective instead of your rubbish about LA second string and Batum is overrated. Neither are true!
I hope they keep Crawford and trade Felton.
I like the talk, keep on talking! :) Go Blazers!
LaMarcus Aldridge is awesome and he just needs support. I think their momentum will come back, maybe not in time for playoffs. I say don't blow up the whole team but instead find a good solid point guard or shooting guard like Brandon Roy. However, he is hard to replace and that is showing now.
I think this is a good article! I hate to say it, but Wallace needs to be benched or traded. I saw last night that he isn't even focused on the game, missing soooo many layups throughout the season is ridiculous. I even told my wife that he didn't look like he cared on the floor if we win or lose. Then this article comes out and it all makes sense. Only good parts of the game last night was Pryzbilla return, LA consistency, and Batum's hustle. Please bench Wallace!!!!
I really enjoyed watching him on Porlandia last night. It cracked me up!
How do you know about his life? money doesn't always buy happiness...try to keep an open mind
I think Nate respects the fans. If he did everything the critics suggested or wanted, he would be running around silly. The team really needs to "make plays".
Wow, you are optimistic!
Great story! they sounds like a sweet couple! Thank you, Quick.
I was thinking OR 7. Thanks for the clarification.
This news made me feel sad. I was hoping he would find his mate and I enjoyed reading the stories of his journey.
I was at the game and also in level 300 and could see it was a clean block. That call took the crowd right out of the remainder of the game and for the overtime. The entire rose garden was down and out, and it was totally unfair how Scott Foster called it. What a bummer and the Blazers played really well. They deserved that call to go the right way.
Keep Batum, sign Mo Williams and then we will be set.
Aldridge is a team player, and a dynamic individual player too. Go to nba.com and vote for him. He is a hard worker. Let's support him Portland Trailblazer fans and vote. Go Blazers!
Let's get out the vote for our team at nba.com. Can there be 6 starters in the West :) Go Blazers!
I like him a lot and we need someone to make big shots, now that BRoy is gone.

U.S. NRC hosting public meeting on Harris plant
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has scheduled a public meeting and open house on May 20 to discuss the agency's assessment of safety performance during 2012 at the Harris nuclear power plant. The plant, operated by Duke Energy, is near New Hill, about 20 miles southwest of Raleigh.
An open house and poster session is scheduled from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Holly Springs Cultural Center, 300 West Ballentine St. in Holly Springs. At 6:30, the NRC staff will make a brief presentation and will be available to answer questions on the safety performance of the Harris plant last year, as well as the NRC role in ensuring safe plant operation.
"The NRC inspects nuclear plants and monitors their performance on an ongoing basis," said NRC Region II Administrator Victor McCree. "We issue inspection reports throughout the year and we hold these annual meetings near each plant to discuss our oversight and answer any questions local residents may have."
The NRC review concluded that the Harris plant operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and protected the environment. The Harris plant was subject to increased NRC oversight as a result of one inspection finding of low to moderate safety significance last year. That finding was for failure to maintain adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support emergency response. An NRC follow-up inspection earlier this year found that the company had taken appropriate corrective actions for that issue, and the plant has now been returned to the normal level of NRC oversight and inspection.
A letter sent from the NRC Region II office to plant officials addresses the performance of the plant during 2012 and will serve as the basis for the meeting discussion. It is publicly available on the NRC website.
This year, the NRC plans to continue to conduct the very detailed inspections required at those plants, including Harris, that are operating well. In addition, the agency will complete an inspection related to buried piping at Harris.
Current performance information for the Harris plant is available on the NRC website.

A total Second Life Real-estate meltdown is likely, as the risks are growing daily, Zandi emphasized in a conference call with reporters following the release of a new study on subprime debt. The study shows that the Second Life housing crisis in Linden could be deeper and last longer than investors now believe.
With iconic structures like the Budweiser virtual pavilion and associated housing complex sitting empty and nearly bankrupt the problems are spreading into other virtual worlds. "Mounting mortgage delinquencies and defaults now pose the most serious threat to the entire Second Life financial system and economy," said Zandi in his report.
"If there is a fault line in the Second Life financial system, it runs through the U.S. housing and mortgage markets," he said.
Zandi's comments came as Second Life is reeling from lower than announce traffic and a growing online credit crunch, centered on the subprime arena, and in Linden's corporate debt market.
The shocks are rippling through the Second Life stock exchange, "I have no doubt the shares of listed virtual companies will be suffering." said Zandi

You Say You Want a Big-Law Revolution, Take II
The Wall Street Journal Law Blog profiled Building a Better Legal Profession, a grassroots organization co-founded by Stanford Law School students Andrew Bruck and Andrew Canter:
With the BigLaw recruiting season well under way, all you 2Ls are probably straining to differentiate between firms you've never heard of. Well, here's a new report for you to chew on.
Earlier this year, when Stanford 3L Andrew Canter (pictured) co-founded Law Students Building a Better Legal Profession, a group that asked the heads of AmLaw 100 firms to create a saner work environment (fewer billable hours in exchange for less pay) for BigLaw associates - the vast majority of whom leave those firms after several years - many of our readers scoffed at the notion. None of the firms have since committed to making changes.
Today, Canter and Co. take aim at another oft-discussed issue — the lack of women and minority partners at big firms — but this time they're carrying a bigger stick: data. The goal: to arm law students with information on law firms so they can make more-informed job choices.
The group's report on the demographic makeup of 74 big firms' Manhattan offices uses data from the National Association for Law Placement online directory to create rankings on law firm diversity — including openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender lawyers — pro bono participation and billable hours.

New Wayfarer
My Ray Ban New Wayfarer got here last saturday. The New Wayfarer is a redesigned Wayfarer. A problem with the original Wayfarer design was that it only looked good on very few people. The redesign makes for a pair of sunglasses suitable for a lot more faces. Cool pair of shades!

Reuben Tishkoff's brother
We went to an optician today to pick up the new specs for my wife. I had a look around and soon spotted a IC! Berlin frame I fancied. The female assistent handed me another frame she thought would look good on me. The shop owner and she both went "Wow! Looks great on you!" Me, I wasn't so sure. I felt I looked like Reuben Tishkoff's spitting image with that frame. All that was missing to make it complete was a bow tie, some gold bling-bling and a big Cuban cigar. Who's Reuben Tishkoff you ask? See picture... I politely said I would give it a thought. I did however buy something else. A Ray Ban New Wayfarer in Havana with prescription lenses.

Labels: miscellaneous, speedminton
I found out about it last year, but this summer I bought a set: Speedminton. The Speedminton racket is a bit like a racquetball racket. Speedminton is played with a Speeder: a shuttlecock that's smaller and faster than a badminton shuttlecock. Three different Speeders exist: Fun Speeder, Match Speeder, Night Speeder
The Fun Speeder is a slow(ish) Speeder. The Match Speeder is faster. The Night Speeder is a Match Speeder that can be illuminated with a Speedlight (=small glow stick).
Playing Speedminton is great fun and it's a nice workout too! Playing Speedminton in the dark at 10.00 pm with the illuminated Night Speeder is awesome.

Liam Neeson backing Irish-American politician for New York mayor
Northern Irish actor LIAM NEESON has thrown his support behind New York City mayoral hopeful CHRISTINE QUINN, whose ancestors hail from the Emerald Isle.
The Taken star is backing Quinn for office ahead of the Big Apple's mayoral election in November (13), when New Yorkers will go to the polls to decide on a replacement for incumbent leader Michael Bloomberg.
Voicing his support for the flame-haired politician, he says, "I am proud to endorse Chris Quinn to be our next mayor. I was an amateur boxer before I was an actor - and I know a good fighter when I see one. No one will work harder than Chris Quinn for New Yorkers who need a fierce advocate in City Hall."
The pair has met before - Quinn presented the star with the Thomas Manton Irish Man of the Year Award in March (13), on the fourth anniversary of the death of his wife Natasha Richardson.
Quinn's Irish grandmother emigrated to the U.S. aboard the doomed Titanic liner in 1912. She survived the disaster.

Read Poems by
Damion Obadan
Dark as Midnight,
but with a aura that radiates like sun.
100 watt smile, must have seen it from a mile,
& knew right then within my heart
she was the one!
Her essence had beautiful Black Queen
illuminating from its core.
I seen her once, maybe twice, & the third time..?
I was like a dope fiend, cuz I was fiending
for more!
Cuz, she was a beautiful black book!,
with gold trimmings that I yearn to read.
Wanted to know her story...every page & understand
this exquisite Black Queen.
Be engulfed by her beauty & words,
as we manifest to one another.
They say beauty is only skin deep,
but I swear she was like no other!
Never seen such beauty & perfection since
my existence on this earth.
Thought she was a rare Black Diamond...
& I was compel to know her worth!
Uncomprehendable, surely this creature had to
be a Angel!
But, her presence was mystic & she left
me with no angle.
On, how to reach her heart?, how to reach her mind?
Two elements from the same person entwined!
But, the truth of the mater is, she'll never be mines.
So from a distance, I look & yearn for the opportunity
to get to know this cutie.
& no, I didn't want her body...I just wanted to know this
Midnight Beauty!

The Most Important Nutrients
What are the most important nutrients? Is there one nutrient that can put you over the edge and make you perform at a higher level? Is it a macronutrient [i.e., protein, fat or carbohydrate] or a micronutrient [i.e., vitamin, mineral, etc.]? This question was posed to me by Dr. Wheeler, Beachbody's Chief Science Officer, in August when he spoke to a group of us in Phoenix, Arizona. Numerous answers were provided, but none seemed to satisfy Dr. Wheeler.
The answer is: the most important nutrients are the ones that are missing from your diet. It is almost impossible to tell what nutrient will make a dramatic difference for you, since we're all different, each with a different nutritional deficiency. Many of these deficiencies are related to our environment. How much sleep do you get? How much physical stress do you place on your body? How much mental stress? Do you eat a healthy diet full of whole nutritious foods or do you choose processed foods? Do you drink soda [if so, watch this and stop, please)? All of these things factor into determining your ideal nutrient mixture.
Now that we know that we don't know what the most important nutrients are, how do we make sure we cover all the bases and get a wide variety of nutrients? You have a couple of options. You could start by making sure you have a healthy ratio of macronutrients [i.e., protein, fat and carbohydrate]. Then, you could go to the store and buy a whole host of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, prebiotics, and herbs. You'd then want to make sure you had an adequate amount of fiber in your diet. Next, you would want to make sure you chose whole foods [i.e., unprocessed stuff like fruit and veggies] that are rich in antioxidants. And, you had better eat a lot of them, because fruits and veggies are simply not as nutritious as they were 25 years ago when pesticide use was limited and soils were more fertile [for more info, READ THIS]. Finally, you'd want to make sure that all the things you're taking go well with each other. It isn't just enough to take in all this stuff. Sometimes, nutrients will compete for receptors in the body and can actually cancel each other out. You could do all of that…or, you could just take Shakeology every day, which is what I do.
I've been taking Shakeology for about 16 months now and I've never felt better. About a month after I started taking it, I was able to lose a rather stubborn eight pounds that I hadn't been able to get rid of. As a cyclist and triathlete, weight management is extremely important to me. In addition, I noticed that I stopped getting sick. I get the flu about three times a year and it used to put me on death's doorstep. I'd be in bed for a week. That just does not happen to me any more. My recovery times from hard workouts are shorter and my digestion is improved. I also feel like Shakeology has helped my body become more efficient at absorbing nutrients in the foods I eat. I'm simply healthier.
The retail price of Shakeology breaks down to about $4.00 per day. Most people spend that on coffee drinks that are loaded with sugar and fat. In contrast, Shakeology has been certified Low Glycemic. You can cut that cost by 10% by becoming a member of the Beachbody Club and you can cut that cost by 25% by becoming a Beachbody Coach, so there are options if you think $4.00 per day is too much to spend on your health. If you'd like to sample Shakeology before you buy it, we'd be happy to send you a sample…just fill out the form below and let us know what flavor you'd like.
Just remember, you don't really need to know what the most important nutrient is, as long as you get it in your diet every day!

As the debt ceiling talks continue, some in the mainstream media are acting as if President Obama's attempt to pose as the only grown up in Washington is working. For example, Matt Bai writes in the New York Times political blog, the president is getting the upper hand over the Republican leadership in large part because as unpopular as Obama is, the Congress is even less liked. There's some truth to that assertion but to assume, as Bai does, this means Obama will be able to emulate Bill Clinton's victory over a previous generation of House Republicans is far fetched.
While no one, especially the GOP leadership, should underestimate the power of the presidency and the ability of any resident of the White House to upstage and wrong foot members of Congress, the differences between that memorable butt-kicking of Newt Gingrich by Clinton and today's situation far outweigh any similarities.
The biggest difference is the political savvy of the players on both sides of this battle. Barack Obama is no fool but, as we have seen again and again the past two and a half years, he can't hold a candle to Clinton when it comes to the basic business of politics. Where Clinton's appeals to the American people's basic moderation were effortless, the far more doctrinaire Obama is clearly forcing it when he self-consciously plays the guy who can see both sides of the issue.
On the other hand, while John Boehner and Eric Cantor are not exactly the most brilliant politicians of the era, they are light years ahead of the hubristic and petulant Newt Gingrich, whom Clinton beat like a drum. Boehner and Cantor's innate caution can make them seem less than inspiring at times, but they understand what their party is supposed to stand for and haven't forgotten who put them into office. Obama is trying hard to box them in, but the idea the president who broke the bank with the stimulus and Obamacare can sell the public on the notion he is a fiscal conservative is more than a stretch.
As even a new Pew Center poll shows, even after several weeks of relentless pounding on the dangers of not raising the debt ceiling on the part of the president and his cheering section in the media, more Americans are still more worried about the consequences of doing so then they are about the prospect of a default.
The Republicans do have to be careful not to come across as obstructionist, but they also understand the electorate is also not the same as it was in prosperous 1996. The GOP core will not forgive them if they raise taxes, but it is Obama who must worry about being blamed next summer for the disastrous economy. As for the unlikely event of something that approaches a default, all would be blamed for the catastrophe, including the man at the head of the government.
