Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. This criminal lawfirm played both ends against the middle. It did appraisal's(or more precisely did very little of those) and represented homeowners contesting the values. One more way a single party county government stiffed every taxpayer in Cuyahoga County
The Tory Republicans will never go for this. They figure let'em starve. There's a good reason why they are unemployed. Bottom line- the self centered, selfish, intolerant, uncaring Republicans only use unemployment as a means to make the Democrats look bad. They have no other interest than that.
Oops I forgot the most moronic thing about the story. The headline also read man kills self then mother. Quite an accomplishment by the dead guy. On a very terrible and in poor taste observation is a literal event of the expression Don't shoot me, I'm only the messenger(doctor). Couldn't resist pointing that out.
Once again no good deed goes unpunished by the government.The commission is seriously mentally challenged(I mean the "r" word here), completely incompetent and incapable of rendering an appropriate ruling. Their arrogance of the voters' will knows no bounds.The difference between these commission members and Jimmy Dimora is about 20 pounds. And they wonder why us voters have on confidence in county government run by idiots morons and those who can't even spell ethics.
Finally, some inexpensive competition to Time Warner. A few years ago Congress considered a program where cable consumers could bundle 10 basic channels of their choice plus all local channels for about 10 dollars. Unfortunately, through their lobbyists the cable guys got the bill killed before it went to a vote. This sounds similar for about 20 dollars. Can't wait until that's offered next year.
The idiot Ohio government agency could have mandated that any winning bidder for the contract use US workers but didn't. Now that agency acts surprised. What a bunch of incompetents.
Good for her! Taking a courageous stand against an organized religion which engaged in a criminal conspiracy to hide evidence in The Vatican, destroyed records, promotes hate aginst gays, continues to hire pedophiles, has vehemently denied compensation to victims of its pedophiles, maligned the victims of its pediphiles as liars, frauds and drug abusers and finally undully influenced cowardly prosecutors and law enforcement into not filing any charges.
When analyzing how much and how long a public project will take a rule of thumb is to triple the original cost and expected time to complete the project.The cost will be approximately 1.3 billion dollars and take four years to complete. Why?Mandatory use of union labor, union suppliers, union truckers, EPA dumping requirements, union asbestos removal, unexpexted stone quarry soil, price fixing regarding rigged bids, price fixing of suppliers, trucking companies and excessive dumping fees,the use and then replacement of inferior construction materials, water and sewer tie in fies triple the normal amount due to corruption, police overtime to guard the site from thieves,rental of heaters during construction at inflated prices, legal costs by the county regarding competing contractual bids awarded, accounting, human resources and legal costs incurred by the county.It will become the largest boodoggle public works project since Boston's Big Dig. All costs overruns will be contractually covered by the county. Additionally, more delays will occur because MMPI will have difficulty obtaining financing at the normal rate and investors because of its near default on a mart in NC.
Another good reason why GE should not get the Cleveland LED lighting contract. At least, unlike GE, the Chinese company bidding hasn't lied to us, polluted us causing birth defects, built plane engines with inferior bolts causing 235 deaths ,exported good paying jobs abroad to countries with no health or safety irequirements and pay 35 cents an hour and finally conspired with Saddam Hussein to rip off the UN Oil for Food Program. All of these ocurred during the illustrious Jack Welch.
The board and CEO discussed and approved the takeover more than a month ago. They told no one.
This is seriously bad news for Cleveland.The company signed over the NC property to the financing agent as deed in lieu of foreclosure. It means the company was in default of payments or was anticipated not to continue to make payments.The article downplays the importance by minimalizing the transfer as a normal business transaction. It is not. It badly affects the companies ability to get financing from banks and investors. Who would invest in any company which defaulted or was going to default on a mortgage loan despite the companies other assets which are also mortgaged. There remains a question as to whether the company mismanaged the NC furniture mart in the furniture making capital of North America.Both financing and investors are difficult to obtain in these times.
So this cretin, non-English speaking, abusive ,ijit w-a-n-k-er and pedazo de m-i-e-r-d-a wants to cash in on his estranged son's homicide. This pendejo is going to be schooled big time on the law in a case like this. In order for a plaintiff to be successful he must prove that he has been deprived of the love and affection of the deceased. Since Joe severly abused the deceased as a child, was currently estranged from the plaintiff, Joe's case is complete and utter bollocks.And it doesn't help that Joe turned the deceased into a homosexual pedophile, mentally disturbed adult, and drug addict.
no, things can always get worse. i say we lease the city to the chinese with an option to purchase.
Uh oh. Looks bad for the prosecution. Maybe I am going to be proven wrong with my past prediction that Burns was toast.
The school has come a long way since 1987 when I graduated with one asian and eight blacks.However, half of my class was female.
This is idiotic. We the taxpayers are going to have to pay$250,000 a year for these guys if they are sent to prison. Once again Billy Mason showing arrogant contempt for his bosses-- the people of Cuyahoga County. Oh by the way. In order to make room for these non-violent criminals they are going to have let go murderers, rapists and child molesters. Justice--Cleveland style.
Anytime an accused is found not guilty at trial or has a conviction vacated at an appeals court the prosecution can always be sued for wrongful prosecution, malicious prosecution or a civil rights violation.
Really? That's not accurate. Adjusted for inflation from the costs of the 1950's, The Sam Shepard Trial,state appeals, federal appeals, US Supreme Court appeal, the re-trial and the trial of his son trying to prove his father's innocence was the most expensive time consuming case in Cuyahoga County history. It became Cleveland's third most influential case after Mappv. Ohio and Terry vs Ohio all three of them being precedent setting cases which still stand today. This Sewell case is a slam dunk with no suspense and without a pretty blonde wife as a murder victim. It won't even be broadcast live on Court TV. Pretty much all vanilla murders without any interesting details and unsympatehetic and unattractive victims.
Take it from a criminal defense attorney---Burns is toast. No way he beats this rap.
Wow! I didnit see that coming from The Supremes. The trial courts for years have complained about the invalidated act. This decision puts the power back with the trial judge who hears the case and evidence and examines the background of the defendant to determine what level of risk he is . The politicians playing to the crowd sought to take that discretion away from the court with mandatory classifications according the the crime.

Hall of Fame / 2005 Honorees
Six Inducted into Hall
Five alumni and one retired coach were honored in the 48th annual Pomona-Pitzer Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony in October. Inducted were Phil Kelly '95, Petrea Moyle Marchand '94, Amy Phillips '84, Tisa Read (Pitzer '94), James Rosenthal '93 and Coach Gary Troyer, who was honored for distinguished service.
Kelly led the Pomona-Pitzer basketball team to two first-round NCAA berths, twice earning all-SCIAC honors. He stands fourth on both the all-time career assists list with 316 and the season assists list with 127, and is tied for third on the single-game assists list with 12.
While leading her volleyball team to one SCIAC title and two NCAA berths, Marchand earned all-SCIAC honors four times and all-region three times. She holds school records in single match digs (42), season digs (427), career service aces (174), and career digs (1547). She also stands second in career kills (1376).
Phillips earned multiple all-SCIAC and all-region honors in both cross country and track and field, qualifying for national championships in both sports. She holds the second-fastest cross-country 5000-meter time (17:47) in Sagehen history, and in track, she set school records in all distance events. Her 10,000-meters record (37:08.1) still stands.
Read earned nine varsity letters in four sports (basketball, track and field, volleyball and soccer), excelling in each. Twice first-team all-SCIAC in basketball, she helped lead the squad to three conference titles and was named SCIAC Player of the Year. She also set a school record for season free throw percentage (78.7 percent).
Rosenthal received multiple all-SCIAC honors in swimming, and was twice SCIAC champion in the 200 fly. He qualified for national championships four years and was a six-time all-American in the 100 and 200 fly. He also set a SCIAC championship record in the 200 fly and multiple school records in the 100 and 200 fly.
Coach Gary Troyer came to Pomona in 1970 as water polo and swimming coach. In the years that followed, won SCIAC titles in men's water polo (1981) and women's swimming (1977 and 1978). He also mentored countless all-conference swimmers and polo players, as well as numerous school-record holders and all-Americans. He retired in 2004.

Peta Murgatroyd was born in Auckland, New Zealand and raised in Perth, Western Australia. She studied classical ballet from the age of four and trained for 12 years under former principal dancer of the Kirov Ballet, Madame Lubov Nikonorenko.
Peta became the Australian State Champion within three months of beginning ballroom training. She has competed around the world, placing 2nd in the Great World City Championships, was a semi-finalist in the Lion City Championships in Singapore and was a finalist in the Australian Open Championships. She placed 3rd in the world at the British Youth Latin Championships in Blackpool 2006.
In 2004, Peta was chosen to be a cast member of Burn The Floor, which has sold in excess of 4 million tickets in over 30 countries and 160 cities worldwide. She toured the world with them for six years. Burn The Floor then landed on Broadway in August 2009, where Peta was the lead female dancer. Impressive!
After achieving her lifelong goal of being on Broadway, Peta ended her run with the production in January 2010 to pursue a career in film and television in Los Angeles. What better way to do that than as a pro on Dancing With The Stars!
She and her partner were eliminated in the first round of Season 13, but she returned with a vengeance as she and Donald Driver won the Mirror Ball trophy in Season 14, her second season on the show.

"When you change yourself, you change your future." – Sam Bracken
As Global Director of Marketing with FranklinCovey, the world's largest leadership training organization, Sam Bracken spent the last four years reworking Franklin Covey's corporate identity. Who better to do that after "rebranding" himself – from an at-risk youth on the highway to a hellish destination to an academically successful young man with a full football scholarship to Georgia Institute of Psychology?
Now general manager of media at FC, Sam Bracken still does hands-on coaching, most recently of 30 at-risk youth, ages 15-18, from Georgia's foster care system in a FranklinCovey / State of Georgia pilot project.
The training session, which Sam conducted with Brent Jorgensen, Richard Becker, and Echo Garrett, was based on Sam's new memoir, with co-author Echo Garrett, My Orange Duffel Bag.
"Coaching kids is more difficult than working with executives," observes Bracken.
When you're working with executives, the assumption is that the person is a complete individual – creative, resourceful, and whole. "Kids, especially at-risk kids, may be creative and resourceful, but they're not whole," Sam points out. "They are working through tremendously difficult issues. You have to nudge them along and offer more energizing activities to keep them engaged — music, art, videos, exercise."
The first thing he did was to capture their interest emotionally by sharing his own story.
Growing up in Las Vegas, Sam was abused by his stepfather and a sadistic older stepbrother who set him on fire. Sam was drinking and doing drugs by age nine. After his mother suffered a mental breakdown and abandoned Sam, he was homeless throughout high school. But he managed to graduate with a 3.9 grade point average, and a full football scholarship.
When he left Las Vegas, everything he owned was in an orange duffel bag, which became a symbol of success that Sam shares with others through his book – and My Orange Duffel Bag Foundation.
"Telling them my story established a safe zone. Then we turned to their stories, what was unique to them, their hopes and dreams, which created a connection." After that, the team explained Sam's 7 Rules of the Road that are the keys to change.
• Ignite Desire
• Gain Awareness
• Find Meaning
• Use Choice
• Choose Love
• Change Yourself
• Express Gratitude
Each participant began a "vision book" like the one Sam's football coach helped him create as a college student. The idea is to take a personal inventory and develop a vision, mission, values, and goals. Sam will be checking in with the participants by phone over the next seven weeks and coming back to gauge their progress. At the end of eight weeks, the kids will be certified as My Orange Duffel Bag coaches, and be able to pass on their experience to others in peer-to-peer training in the foster care system.
Hope is not a strategy for these kids. "There's a sense of urgency to make an impact because they will have to be self-reliant soon and if they don't get it figured out the writing on the wall is grim for them," says Sam.
As with executive and management teams, however, it is not the strongest, or most intelligent who succeed, but the ones most responsive to change, who can adapt and grow.
With coaching and mentoring, these kids have a chance to change not only their own lives, but the lives of other kids in the foster care system.

This letter describes the operation of the Sunday School that Jackson established for Lexington's black population (slaves and freemen) in 1855. Enrollment ranged from 80 to 100, and students included both adults and children. John Lyle Campbell was a Professor at Washington College, a friend, and a fellow member of the Lexington Presbyterian Church.
Lexington, Va.
June 7th/58
Dear Sir,
In compliance with your request I proceed to give you a statement respecting the condition of the Lexington Colored Sabbath School. But in doing so, I feel it unnecessary to say more than a few words, as you are already acquainted with its leading features. The school is usually opened by singing part of a hymn, which should be announced the previous Sabbath. This is followed by reading one or more verses from the Bible, with explanations & applications; this is succeeded by prayer. After this each class is instructed by its teacher from the Bible, catechism and hymn book. At the close of the school which is near forty five minutes from the opening, there is a public examination on two verses of the child catechism, published by our Board. These verses should be announced the previous Sabbath. After the close of the examination, the school is dismissed, the remaining part of the opening hymn having been sung immediately after the examination.
The system of reward you are acquainted with, and the premiums so far have been near a dozen Testaments and one Bible. The day of their presentation is the first Sabbath of each month. Several scholars are studying the shorter catechism at the present time. Each teacher keeps a class book in which is noted each scholar's department in school. The lesson should be taught one Sabbath, with a view to examination & mark on the next. Each teacher at the close of the month give me a circular (blanks having been furnished) exhibiting for each scholar the manner in which the lesson has been prepared, the conduct in school, no. of lates, absences, &c. From these circulars, I make a monthly entry in the record book, which contains not only the no. of lates & absences, but also the names of the teachers, scholars, owners, persons with whom the scholars are living, the lates & absences of teachers, and a weekly record of the proceedings of the school. By reference to the record book, I find 91 to be the no. of scholars there reported.
Praying that the S. school convention may be a great blessing to the cause & to yourself I remain your attached friend.
T. J. Jackson

Islam Online asked a bunch of American Muslims to name their candidate and explain why they're supporting him. The answers are fascinating. Here are some snapshots:
Malik Mohammad Hussain, 54, a Pakistani-born salesman in Halal Meat Store
I favor Obama over John McCain and think that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
I have heard that Obama will end all the war politics and there will be no bombing in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq when he occupies his place in the White House.
Abdul Nasir, 30, a Cab Driver in Washington D.C.
I'm a staunch supporter of Barack Obama but I'm not sure that he will win the presidency.
Obama has got a popular support among the youth, urban cities, and over the media but majority of the white conservatives living in the countryside will never vote for a black man.
If Obama wins it will be only a miracle, and this will be by a thin margin.
Khadija, 56, an Iraqi woman teaching in an Islamic School
My whole family of five will be casting vote for Senator John McCain.
I think McCain is a wise and tested politician. At this critical moment when the whole world is in the grip of crises, only a sage person and not a stylish demagogue can be a savior.
McCain does belong to the Republican Party but this never means that he is another George Bush.
The Republican and not the Democratic Party has been pro-Muslim countries. I cannot see any reason why the majority of Muslims in the US is backing Obama, though Obama has always resisted the Muslim identity and never visited or approached any mosque.
Shafeeq Kakar, 30, Afghan banker in Virginia
Two days ago I voted for Senator Obama.
My family in the US and their nation back in Afghanistan have got fed up with the unending war in Afghanistan.
I want some one who believes in dialogue. Barack Obama has the potential and statesmanship to resolve the crises in Afghanistan with dialogue and jirg [tribal council meetings].
Ata Nabawi, Substitute Teacher, Compton, California
I am voting because voting is important. Enfranchisement is the key to political power. Being a black man, coming out of the history of Jim Crow laws and the struggle for civil rights, to finally have the political power to vote and not exercise defeats that entire purpose of that political struggle.
[Issues and candidates] are equally important, because one affects me locally and the other affects me nationally which will eventually affect me locally.
However, I don't always agree with the candidates. Barack Obama is for gay marriage, but I'm not, so I'm voting yes on Prop. 8 [to only allow traditional marriage]. Obama just tries to please everybody.
The Muslim community in America is considered to not wield any effective political power therefore it isn't targeted in elections. This is not based on demographics, but based on the power in Washington, D.C. As a political force, Muslims have not showed their muscles. We don't have a strong lobby. We're not organized enough.
[Sen. Obama] did what is politically expedient. He has a Muslim father and was raised in Indonesia, a Muslim country. I also believe he's been to Pakistan before. He has extensive knowledge of the Muslim world. His name is Arabic, which is the language of the Qur'an. He had to distance himself as much as he can from Muslims and Arabs in order to show his loyalty and patriotism to America. America has created an enemy in Islam.
I personally believe that America needs some Islamic leadership; however I don't think the American public is politically mature enough to have Islamic leadership in general.
That last guy is a substitute teacher, yet. The answers offer such a transparent peek at those who vote on faith. They've projected things onto Obama he's been running from or against the entire campaign. He's not Muslim, he's vowed to escalate the war in Afghanistan, and he's threatened military action inside Pakistan. But, then, why would Muslim Americans pay any more attention to the facts of Obama's campaign than has the rest of the electorate?

Read Poems by
Shishir Gupta
Hammered glue striking blue in moods
she lay there in pool of her own
working hard and fast she had got that
thoughts were full and act was a pull
validation lay in thoughts she vowed by that
disarming and endearing she had proclaimed
not once but several times hence
whether it is an act of her own
or that of any other
she vouches and remains
with a name
that's no longer a game
throes of zenith
and calm of nadir
has her breathe long
she is on swan song
feeling husky and musky
her juices for now
quite gone
tired and feeling sired
she rummages and slinks
to her bed
for a stupor filled
rest with the zest

me, 2.0: jose nazario
beauty and the street
a trip to the sculpture garden
close up of the tail of frank gehry's "standing glass fish" from 1986. this is located in the Minneapolis sculpture garden, a nice sprawl of land near the middle of downtown Minneapolis. of course we saw the big spoon and cherry, but that's not the only thing there. some great art in the city just waiting to be walked around.
another neat thing hosted this summer at the
walker art center
"art without walls" program is artist designed and inspired mini golf setup,
walker in the rough
. 10 holes of mini golf insanity, totally fun. a great way to enjoy a nice summer day.
saturday night was great, jeremy and angela hosted a party at their place for several of our good friends. i hadn't seen john and his wife holly in almost 9 years, since jeremy's wedding, and they not have a daughter "anna". david and nica, and their two great girls, showed up, and a few other people, too. it was great fun, a nice relaxing evening and filled with friendship (and a few drinks).

The vast majority of Americans never supported a "privatize-and-pillage" attack on Social Security. Yet many of the Republican candidates in 2010 are on record supporting all manner of schemes to dismember Social Security.
Progressives Face Uphill Climb Designed to Make Them Fail
George Lakoff's Majority Vote Budget Initiative
Education Activists Need Strategy Beyond Marches
What's a Real Democratic Majority?
Paul Hogarth: The filibuster means that progressive legislation requires 72 Senate Democrats – but you only need 54 Republicans to ram through the most awful right-wing agenda. Why? Because "Democrats vote with Republicans significantly more often than Republicans vote with Democrats, making it much easier for Republicans to pass the kind of legislation they want.
The Consent of the Governed
"… to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men [and women], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…" — Declaration of Independence "Your people, Mr. Jefferson, are a great beast." So said Alexander Hamilton, the leader of America's first conservative party, to the author of the Declaration of Independence and the […]

Dear readers: I have rewritten several sections of this story after being alerted to errors I made in my reporting on this story. I apologize for the errors and any misunderstanding they may have caused in readers.
As the article mentions, Pennsylvania only has a handful of class II injections wells.
This is because of geology--they don't have as much of the same porous sandstone formations relatively close to the earth's surface as Ohio--as well as the fact that the feds run Pennsylvania's permitting program for class II wells so there is much more red tape to put a well in there. Ohio runs its own program and is relative quick at moving through the permit process I am told.
Additionally, Pennsylvania's method of handling the waste was to essentially try to clean it up at sewage treatment plants and then dump it into streams and rivers. They have figured out that really doesn't work and the Pennsylvania governor has stopped that method. So they find themselves with a bunch of waste from fracking and nowhere to put it. Ohio is their cheapest answer.
As for Texas, I assume you are referring to the Texas company which is planning to ship waste into Mansfield by train car. That waste will be coming from western Pa. not Texas. The company who has the permit is only owned by Texans. I probably should have made that clear in the story.
Thanks for reading, I hope that helps to answer your questions.
With all due respect, it's not a matter of opinion that all of the Republicans on the apportionment board voted for the map and the lone Democrat voted against it. That's what happened.
I specifically name the Ohio Republicans who voted for the map.
rpuck1-- Yes. The bill still has a provision to eliminate the estate tax beginning in 2013.
I made a mistake in this article when I said that state and local government employees would have to pick up 85 percent of their health care premium costs under the language of Senate Bill 5. It is really 15 percent, not 85 percent. I flipped the numbers for some reason.
The error has been corrected in the story, and I apologize for the mistake.
Note to the reader: An earlier version of this story said that the bill contained a provision that specifically exempted Kasich's actions while acting as board chair from Ohio's open records law.
That specific provision was NOT in the version of the bill introduced in committee this afternoon, and the reference referring to it has been removed from the blog post.
Aaron Marshall, Plain Dealer reporter
Correction: Please note that an earlier version of the article contained a factual error which I have corrected. It said that Keith was convicted primarily on the eyewitness testimony of three people including two children. That is incorrect.
Actually, the key evidence at the trial was based on the eyewitness testimony of a single witness. A second witness did tell the parole board that she was certain Keith was the killer, but did not testify at the trial.
I'm sorry for the error.
ohhh, let me play...Am I a registered independent?
I'm curious--what in the story has you so convinced that I'm so partisan? I don't get it.
I understand, Doc. I wasn't saying that it's OK to waste $25 million because it's federal money.
I was just trying to clarify that it doesn't have to be paid back, according to federal rail officials.
I just wanted to clear up one point being discussed in the comments. Federal rail officials have told the Strickland administration the $25 million does NOT have to be paid back by the state if the rail plan doesn't go forward.
However, Republicans on the controlling board remained skeptical yesterday that the feds wouldn't eventually ask for the $25 million back saying they weren't convinced by a supporting e-mail from a federal official that surfaced at the last minute.
I have reported on much of this in several previous stories so I didn't include it in this one.
Dear readers:
There was a factual error in the story that I have corrected.
I mistakenly said that one of three Republican controlling board votes is needed for the 3-C project to be approved by a "super-majority" of the board.
Actually, one of two Republican state senators on the controlling board--Sen. John Carey or Sen. David Goodman--must join Democrats in approving the plan for the $400 milllion project to move forward.
I apologize for the error.

Read Poems by
Laszlo Kecsedi
Lone and proud, soaring up high
Looking at you I understand why
You stay away and never come down
Why you`re a king without a crown
Made not to hold or to be held gently
Your look and touch are sharp, unfriendly
On earth you cause death, hurt and damage
But that`s how, to your maker, you pay homage
Your nature you can`t possibly deny
Every attempt made is hopeless, futile
You are avoided, feared, or even hated
Curious sentiments by ignorance created

Same-sex marriage is potentially migrating to Dixie.
In Virginia a majority ruling from a three-judge panel in Federal Court in Richmond went against the Commonwealth's marriage discrimination.
Tony London of Norfolk has fought against the state ban, so far court is working out for his wedding plans.
"As soon as they let us, as soon as they us," London said outside his home after the ruling. "And we'll be smack dab in the middle of Christ and St. Luke's Church (in Ghent)"
It started, when Virginia's Attorney General Mark Herring said he wouldn't fight for the Commonwealth's ban back at the start of the year.
Now six months later, North Carolina's top lawyer Roy Cooper is following suit; he won't defend the state's ban either.
A ban put in place by voters two years ago.
"The people of North Carolina passed the ruling by majority vote," said Philip Alligood of Elizabeth City. "They put him in office by majority vote and then he won't back the people that put him in office."
Virginia sets itself up to be the first Southern state to allow same sex marriage. There are still a lot of legal hoops before it's allowed in North Carolina.
"It's way overdue everywhere to tell you the truth," said David Smith of Elizabeth City. "You shouldn't look at people for what they are, it's for who they are."
It may be the beginning of a new era, one Richard Williams isn't enthused about.
"I just feel like because of the end times and they say during the end days all these different things are going to happen and I just feel like it's a part of Bible prophecy and i think this is the beginning."
It seems with public opinion on same sex marriage rapidly changing that logic is more likely to have its days numbered.

One year after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs proposed closing the medical center in Hot Springs, some of South Dakotas representatives in Congress say the department isnt being responsive to concerns from them and the Hot Springs community.
Rep. Kristi Noem and Sen. John Thune, both Republicans, said theyre upset with the VAs approach.
It has been just over a year since the VA proposed changes to the Black Hills Health Care System, and we have made it clear that we oppose those changes and would like to see the VA negotiate in good faith with the Hot Springs community about a way forward, Thune said in a statement. I am incredibly frustrated at the lack of response to our October letter requesting a meeting in Hot Springs to discuss their proposed changes.
Noem said she has been rebuffed in her attempts to speak to Eric Shinseki, the departments secretary.
I called over there several times and visited with an assistant secretary. ... I asked if I could have a phone call with the secretary, and she indicated that would not happen, Noem said Thursday.
As she prepares to start her second term in Congress, Noem said other Cabinet secretaries in President Obamas administration have been much more accessible.
A couple months ago, I needed to talk to Secretary Vilsack about the farm bill. I picked up the phone, and within five minutes, I was visiting with him and having a conversation about farm policy, Noem said. Thats typically how this happens. The VA is slow-walking us.
The VA has proposed closing the Hot Springs medical center and relocating operations to Rapid City. Wednesday was the one-year anniversary of the initial proposal, and Noem said counter-proposals from residents of the town have gone unheard.
Johnson, a Democrat, didnt share the criticial tone of his Republican colleagues. His spokesman, Perry Plumart, said Johnson wants to meet with Shinseki to lobby for the Hot Springs facility but doesnt see anything unusual in how the department has handled affairs.
Senator Johnson has a good working relationship with Secretary Shinseki, Plumart said. Weve put a request in, the delegation has, to meet with them, and we look forward to doing so.

Don Bradman's star would shine in any era
The former Times Chief Cricket Correspondent identifies his top 100 cricketers of all time
Christopher Martin-Jenkins
1 Don Bradman
From the late 1920s until his retirement in 1949, the greatest of all specialist batsmen had a wider role as a hero of popular culture and the unwitting symbol and unifier of the Australian nation. Bradman's unequalled batting achievements, and the fact that he was playing at a time when his country was asserting its right to complete independence, made him the most famous cricketer since W.G. Grace. Like the champion himself his steely determination, hunger for success and genius for sport put him in a different class from any contemporary. By a whisker, if that is the appropriate phrase, he may be deemed the greatest of all cricketers, because his superiority over all contemporaries was even greater.
He was brought up in the country town of Bowral in New South Wales, where he taught himself to bat by hitting a golf ball rebounding from the brick stand of a water tank in his parents' back yard.
When he came to England as a 21-year-old in 1930, he had already scored the highest Australian first-class score of 452 not out for New South Wales against Queensland. He scored a century in the first Test, a double-century in the second, 334 in the third at Leeds (the world-record Test score at the time) and another double-century in the fifth at the Oval.
At Headingley he had scored a hundred before lunch, another in the middle session and a third between tea and the close.
Against the South Africa touring team in 1931-32, he was still more merciless, scoring 1,190 runs against them in eight innings, three for New South Wales, at an average of 170. In five Test innings his average was 201.5. Such brilliance and remorselessness spawned Douglas Jardine's ruthless strategy in England's return series in Australia.
Bradman was merely scathed by bodyline bowling but his batting average of 56.57 in 1932-33, 14 runs higher than anyone else's, represented failure, embarrassment and defeat for him. Had he not been so cut down to size in that series, his final Test average would have been more than 100. Famously, it was 99.94, and in first-class cricket he scored 117 centuries, on average a hundred every third time that he batted.
He continued to dominate through the 1930s, to some extent a man apart in the dressing room because of his single-mindedness and his controversial move to Adelaide to accept a lucrative job as a stockbroker in 1934. At the end of his tour to England that year, he had an emergency operation to remove an acutely inflamed appendix and only narrowly avoided the peritonitis that might have been fatal.
This was a front-page drama, with his young wife, Jessie, summoned to travel by sea from Australia. He had a long convalescence but in 1936-37, inevitably, became Australia's captain.
When G.O. Allen's England side arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia, they were greeted with the news that the new leader's past seven first-class innings had been 233, 357, 31, 0, 1, 369 and 212. Australia came back from defeat in the first two Tests to win the series 3-2. Bradman had innings of 270, 212 and 169 in the three games that transformed the series.
Used as a PT instructor early in the war, he was invalided out of the Army in 1941, but returned to cricket afterwards almost by popular demand. He captained his unbeaten team to England in 1948 with pragmatism and made a great diplomatic success of his final visit.
Such were his reactions, fitness, keenness, intelligence and deep determination that he would have been a champion in any era since, not least the present one. It is true that the need to change tempo for 50 and now for 20-over cricket against defensive fields and often on slower pitches would have tested even so fast a scorer as the Don, but in his prime he would have relished and risen above the challenge.
His speed of foot and eye, not to mention modern bats, would have enabled him to compensate for a slight physique compared with some of the muscular players of today. His preference for keeping the ball along the ground would either have been tempered by a calculated decision to hit some balls for six - no batsman ever played the percentages so shrewdly as Bradman - or by his skill in finding gaps in the field with full-blooded strokes played late.
Short-pitched bowling would have been no handicap given the extra protection of a helmet. His powers of concentration - he scored 37 double and 12 triple centuries - would have ensured the same prolific achievements in first-class cricket now as then, especially given covered pitches. That he could not bat on wet or sticky pitches was a myth based largely on a couple of failures against Hedley Verity on the drying pitch at Lord's in 1934.
There was another paradox: he was a hero with the masses but not a popular man with most of his team-mates and opponents. He was too private and single-minded for that. Bill O'Reilly, his rival from boyhood, said: He felt it his bounden duty to reduce every bowler to incompetency.
2 W.G. Grace
Grace was no saint, sometimes pushing gamesmanship to the limit, but for the last 30 years of the 19th century he had been the country's greatest batsman and most famous sportsman. He made plenty of money from cricket but these days the agents and image-makers would have multiplied his wealth many times.
3 Garry Sobers
No cricketer has so often and so easily reached sublime heights as batsman, bowler and fielder as Garfield St Aubrun Sobers, a lithe Barbadian of sunny temperament who found cricket as easy as walking. There was about him that air of supreme natural talent that has only been equalled in any sport since by Tiger Woods.
4 Shane Warne
Comfortably the most influential Australian cricketer since Don Bradman, he experienced notoriety as well as adulation and fame. The more his fame and success grew, the more he tended to push gamesmanship to the limit in talking to umpires and opposing batsmen. He had such charm that he generally got away with it.
5 Jack Hobbs
No bad word was ever published or, apparently, spoken about a batsman who wearied bowlers for 30 years by the unrivalled mastery of his batting. It marks Sir John Berry Hobbs as little less than a saint, as well as a popular hero. He was the model of cricket's art and spirit.
6 Viv Richards
A proud and passionate man with the physique of a heavyweight boxer, he would saunter to the wicket like a gladiator entering the arena without a thought of failure. The faster his opponents bowled at him, the more fiercely he hooked and drove them.
7 S.F. Barnes
A giant in every sense, Sydney Barnes, of Staffordshire, was to all batsmen like a judge to a convicted felon or a dentist looming over a patient who knows he has neglected his teeth for too long. He extracted 189 batsmen in 27 Tests and his contemporaries knew him simply as the greatest bowler of all.
8 Walter Hammond
Hammond in command at the crease was one of the most majestic sights in cricket: a galleon in full sail. Withal he was England's surest slip fielder and capable of devastating spells as a fast-medium bowler.
9 Sachin Tendulkar
Compact power, perfect timing, the ability to hit good balls for four, humility, discipline and extraordinary concentration have made Tendulkar the highest run-scorer in international cricket. It is doubtful whether any great sportsman has conducted himself better despite a career spent constantly in the public eye.
10 Adam Gilchrist
For the first seven years of the 21st century, indeed, he was the game's greatest match-winner. A keen-eyed, agile wicketkeeper of high quality, he also took control of many a one-day international as a barnstorming opening batsman.
Distinguishing the great cricketers from the goodChristopher Martin-Jenkins
Accepting a commission to select the top 100 cricketers of all time was at once hard to resist and very unwise. It is one thing to try to please some of the people some of the time. To annoy all of them some of the time is probably foolish, even for a broadcaster, for whom one who irritates people by words or mannerisms might almost be a definition.
The selection will inevitably offend some. It was a challenge to be asked, however, and a pleasure to sift the assortment presented by the games long history, even if it felt a little like choosing between the peppermint and strawberry creams in an irresistible box of handmade chocolates.
How do you compare the worth of bowlers, batsmen, wicketkeepers and all-rounders? How can you evaluate men of different eras playing differing amounts of cricket on different pitches with different equipment under different laws? You cannot, and nor can a computer, because whatever the parameters, a machine cannot assess human qualities: the character, style and aesthetic appeal of a cricketer, all things that are part of the equation.
The hardest aspect is judging between those one has seen playing and those about whom one has only read. To take one relatively obscure example, Sri Lankans who saw him still revere the memory of Mahadevan Sathasivam, who used his bat like a wand. He was a hero before his country began to participate in Test cricket and, incidentally, moved to Malaysia, having been falsely accused of murdering his wife. Frank Worrell, the great West Indian, was quoted as saying that Sathi was the best batsman in the world, but he had no chance to prove it on a grand stage.
The same is true, alas, of Vintcent van der Bijl, the giant but genial South African who was not allowed to play in Test cricket because of the political sins of his countrys government when he was causing havoc in domestic cricket. One season for Middlesex in 1980 in which he took 85 championship wickets at 14 each, and a first-class record of 767 wickets at 16.54, suggest that he could have been another Ken Farnes (who at 6ft 5in was three inches shorter) or even better.
Black and Coloured South African cricketers before the end of apartheid were even more sadly destined to waste their sweetness on the desert air. No doubt there were many others whose fame remained local because of the social conventions of their time, such as Palwankar Baloo, the Indian left-arm spinner, who took more than 100 wickets on tour in England in 1911.
I made two early decisions: to stick to mens cricket and to Test cricketers, so I have not attempted to consider players before the dawn of official international cricket in 1877.
Thus there is no Alfred Mynn, John Small, Billy Beldham, David Harris, William Clarke, Fuller Pilch or John Wisden. Would that this had proved the end of my problems. It is a chastening thought for me that I have been alive for about half of the 132 years since Test cricket started. Human nature tends to err towards those of whom one has had personal experience, but so far as natural frailties allow I have tried to be objective in choosing between ancients and moderns, fast bowlers and slow, the pioneers from England and Australia and one-day champions of today hailing in so many cases from the sub-continent.
The sheer volume of contemporary professional cricket and the availability of a variety of statistics add to the difficulty. The main criteria, however, have been character, class, temperament, the ability to entertain and the capacity, above all, to win matches by personal performance in a team cause.
But where do you start and where do you stop? What is a great player? Is he one touched by genius, whether completely fulfilled or not? Is he one who has achieved great things? Must he have courage as well as exceptional talent and the hard-learnt qualities of discipline and patience that successful cricket demands? All those selected certainly have great success in common, but all, too, have something else, that special element that sometimes makes both spectators and fellow players catch their breath in awe.

Cyclone Rake® Comparison Chart
Choosing the right Cyclone Rake is easy. This comparison chart highlights the product features for each of the five unique Cyclone Rake models. When choosing a lawn vacuum, remember there are no hard and fast rules about property size. Everyone's needs are different. Sometimes smaller properties have more difficult requirements or heavier leaf cover than properties of larger acreage. Be sure to consider the number of trees that shed on your property and the actual lawn area. Also, consider whether your property is flat, hilly, open, or congested. Steep grades and tight spaces are better served by the Cyclone Rake Classic or Commander models. Larger mowers and properties with heavy leaf cover will benefit from the increased capacity and vacuum power of the Cyclone Rake Commercial PRO or XL models. For really tough property cleanup work, be sure to check out the new 10HP, Cyclone Rake Z-10 with it's industry leading 10-inch diameter vacuum system.

Galton Blackiston
Galton Blackiston has had no formal training, yet his restaurant, Morston Hall, has achieved Michelin star status. He tells us how he got the coveted star, and gives us his philosophy on great regional cooking.
Galton's first love was playing cricket but when his professional career stalled at a young age he turned to cooking. He started out selling home-cooked produce in his home town of Rye and became something of a local hero. Despite having no formal training he was taken on as a pastry chef at the John Tovey Miller Howe country hotel, an apprenticeship he refers to as 'the school of hard knocks in the kitchen'.
After reaching the level of head chef at John Tovey, he set off to hone his skills further in America, Canada, London and South Africa. Returning home in 1992 he set up Norfolk's Morston Hall with his wife and in 1998 was awarded his first Michelin star.

Comments about Yoga Mat Primo:
My comments are critical because I am a 51 year old with arthritis. I have other Sanuk sandals with excellent arch support that I love. I like these sandals. They are used for what I purchased them for. I have trouble with the heels of my feet hurting. They actually have each broken before. I am using these for slippers. I have tried several thong style slippers for the summer and have not found a pair that I can wear comfortably. For this, for me, they are great.

Sometimes the bottom of my heel hurts really bad when I walk. These flip flops are so comfortable I wish I could wear them 24/7. Would buy the Sailaways if I thought they were just as comfortable.

MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen today issued a formal opinion concluding that 2007 Wisconsin Act 212 - which made changes to the authority of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board ("SWIB") under Wis. Stat. ch. 25 regarding the management of Wisconsin Retirement System assets - allows SWIB to select investments from other than those on a statutorily-enumerated list.
Van Hollen found that the statutory changes expanded SWIB's authority from making solely those investments enumerated in Wis. Stat. ch. 25 to making management decisions consistent with the prudent investor standard. Van Hollen's opinion further noted that the statute as amended expresses no preference for investments on the legal list as opposed to other investments.
Van Hollen also said that SWIB would be held to the same standard of prudence regardless of whether it invested from the legal list. The standard of prudence, articulated in Wis. Stat. 25.15(2), requires SWIB to manage the money and property with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a similar capacity, with the same resources, and familiar with like matters, exercises in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character with like aims.
The opinion was requested by Keith Bozarth, the Executive Director of SWIB. A copy of the original request is available here.

DNR Suspends Poacher's License To Harvest Oysters
Annapolis, Md. (February 2, 2011) — The Maryland Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) has served John Hunter Haddaway, 23 of Tilghman, Md.,
with an Order for Summary Suspension, suspending his entitlement to harvest,
buy, sell or cull oysters for the remainder of the 2010-2011 season. Haddaway
was most recently apprehended for harvesting oysters from an oyster sanctuary,
his eighth natural resource violation since 2005.
"These offenses represent a serious violation of the public's trust that must be met with serious consequences," said DNR Secretary John Griffin. "We must continue to send the message to poachers that abuse of our shared resources, and putting the future of those resources at risk, will not be tolerated."
On January 17, 2011, Haddaway was arrested by Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) officers and charged with poaching oysters from an oyster sanctuary. After observing Haddaway dredging for oysters five miles northwest of Crisfield in the Tangier Sound Oyster Sanctuary, NRP officers seized 12 bushels of oysters from his boat and returned them to the sanctuary. A trial date for this offense has been set for March 31, 2011 in the District Court of Maryland for Somerset County.
Haddaway was previously apprehended on December 22, 2010 with 15 bushels of oysters onboard his vessel north of the Tangier Sound Oyster Sanctuary, three bushels above the authorized limit. He was charged with exceeding the daily bushel limit for oysters and failing to display his Tidal Fishing License number on the vehicle transporting his catch. He is scheduled to appear in court for both charges on March 10, 2011.
In the past, Haddaway was convicted of with several other natural resource violations; in December of 2007, he was convicted for taking oysters without a commercial license; on January 2007, he was convicted for possession of undersized oysters; in December of 2006, he was convicted for possession of undersized oysters; in September of 2006, he was convicted for crabbing without a commercial license; and in January of 2006, he was convicted for taking oysters without a commercial license and dredging for oysters in a restricted area.
Since 1994, the Chesapeake Bay oyster population has languished at 1 percent of historic levels. Over the past 25 years, the amount of suitable oyster habitat has declined by 80 percent — from 200,000 acres to just 36,000 acres. Maryland's annual oyster harvest has fallen from an average of 2.5 million bushels in the late 1960s to about 100,000 bushels a year since 2002, while the number of oystermen working Maryland's portion of the Bay has dwindled from more than 2000 to just 550.
Last year, Governor Martin O'Malley put in place an Oyster Restoration and Aquaculture Development Plan. The plan increased Maryland's network of oyster sanctuaries — from 9 percent to 24 percent of remaining quality habitat; increased areas open to leasing for oyster aquaculture and streamlined the permitting process; and maintained 76 percent of the Bay's remaining quality oyster habitat for a more targeted, sustainable, and scientifically managed public oyster fishery.

Prep Notebook: Budget Cuts Force Knights to Drop Golf
Bremerton won't have golf teams when spring sports roll around.
The boys and girls golf teams were victims of the $90,000 athletic director George Duarte had to cut from the athletic budget.
Duarte said the lack of interest in the sport made it the one to get cut. Duarte coached the golf team for the first month of last season and had only eight boys and six girls turn out. Six is the minimum needed for a team.
"You never want to cut programs, but hopefully in the next couple of years I'll be able to reinstate the program," Duarte said.
Also cut was C teams for every sport except football and coaching stipends and assistant positions.
@SUBHEAD 15pt:Playoffs Changing for Fall, Hoops
There's a few changes coming to the postseason, starting with the fall playoffs.
For the Class 3A schools in the Olympic League — North Kitsap, Bremerton, Port Angeles and Olympic — will join with the Western Cascade League — Timberline, North Thurston, Yelm and Capital — for a sub-district tournament for soccer and volleyball.
This allows the two leagues to pool their berths heading into the district tourney. It also allows a stronger league to send an extra team or two into the district tournament. Each league has two spots into district for soccer and volleyball, meaning the top four from the sub-regional will move on.
The Olympic League will also bring back a league tourney for basketball. The league had a tournament two years ago, but scrapped it last season.
This time, the top Class 3A and Class 2A teams — boys and girls — will automatically head to districts.
The No. 2 teams — 3A and 2A — will play the No. 3 teams in a loser-out, winner-to-district game.
@SUBHEAD 8.8pt:Football
@SUBHEAD 15pt:Another Coach of the Week
Two weeks into the season, and two West Sound coaches have been named NFL Coach of the Week for Washington.
After the first week it was North Mason's Phil Pugh. This week it's CK's Mark Keel.
Both were selected by the Washington State Football Coaches Association.
Pugh led the Bulldogs to a 41-0 win at Port Angeles.
Keel led the Cougars to a 14-13 win over South Kitsap.
Winners earn a $500 donation from the Seahawks to their football programs and a $100 savings bond. At the end of the season, one coach will be named coach of the year and receive a $2,000 grant.
@SUBHEAD 15pt:Bremerton Honoring State Title Team
Bremerton is honoring the 1968 state title team at tonight's game.
The Knights play Yelm at Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m.
The Knights are also honoring the 1998 team, which went 1-8.
Each game, Bremerton is honoring teams that end with eight. Last week it was the 1948 and 1988 teams. On Oct. 10, Bremerton is honoring the 1978 teams for homecoming. On Oct. 24, the 1958 team will be honored.
The Knights hope this starts a tradition. Next year, they will honor the 1949, 59, 69, 79, 89 and 99 teams.

Left Field: Ned Colletti's Folly.
This is the Season Review I've been least looking forward to because it's by far the most depressing, and it's therefore the one I have the least interest in writing.
Essentially, left field was a hot mess in 2011, as the Dodgers used basically everybody, the kitchen sink, and Eugenio Velez. I'll focus on the main guys and then leave the rest to rot in baseball purgatory where they belong.
I begin with Jerry Sands because of his status as a top prospect heading into 2011 and his likely status as the 2012 starting left fielder. Sands mashed at every minor league level, and it was just a matter of time before he made his major league debut, particularly with the way Ned Colletti had constructed the team, and especially with the way he constructed said team in left and at first base. What was surprising though was that Sands made his debut on April 18th, earlier than just about anyone anticipated.
Jerry's first 30 games were not spectacular by any means, but he showed the tools necessary to succeed, as he slashed .239/.343/.413/.756 with 12 extra-base hits and a 22:15 K:BB mark. He went the other way, was willing to draw a walk, and displayed a solid arm in the field.
His next 10 games would be his undoing, however, as he hit just .091/.143/.091/.234 with 0 extra-base hits and 11 strikeouts against just 2 walks (although it should be noted his BABIP was an unhelpful .136). Sands was sent back to AAA and asked to make adjustments at the plate, and make adjustments he did.
Upon his return to the show as a September call-up on the 8th, Jerry displayed the hitting prowess that Dodger fans everywhere were hoping would translate. In 20 games, he mashed at a .342/.415/.493/.908 clip with seven XBHs and an 18:8 K:BB mark. He hit in 14 straight and cemented himself as a starter somewhere on the diamond next season, barring any Uncle Ned funny business.
His home/road splits, as noted by Mike Petriello, were certainly something that needs noting, but with his minor league success, plate discipline, ability to use all fields, and raw power, I'm not concerned that he'll morph into the right-handed version of James Loney.
After being picked up off of waivers from Toronto, Juan Rivera split time in right, left, and at first. Never more than a role player in Anaheim, Rivera tanked with the Jays before landing his new gig in Los Angeles by simply being better than Marcus Thames' corpse. Juan started 32 games in left for the Dodgers and matched his solid reputation with the glove (2011 L.A. UZR/150 of 4.1, career 4.8).
However, despite a fast start, James Loney's temporary caddy did not perform as admirably with the bat. During his 62 game stint, and almost 250 plate appearances after being signed, Juan slashed .274/.333/.406 with a .324 wOBA. Again, better than Marcus Thames, but not worthy of a starting gig with the Blue Crew in 2012.
As a right-handed platoon-mate for Ethier and Loney, Rivera could fit in nicely with the club. Beyond that, however, he's not worthy of more than a one-year deal with a small salary of one to two million.
JaMarcus Gwybbons, Jr.
Coined by the aforementioned Petriello, this motley trio was Ned Colletti's bright idea to begin the season in left.
Gwynn Jr. was a glove-only player to begin with, as well as being the only option to spell The Bison in center. He met those expectations, as his UZR/150 in left was a spectacular 20.9, with a 23.7 overall in 677 innings in the field. His bat was miniscule as usual, as he hit .256/.308/.353 with a .299 wOBA and checked in with a WAR of 1.6. As a backup outfielder playing for a million or so, he certainly has a place on the squad, as he was also successful on 22 of 28 stolen base attempts (79%).
Marcus Thames was hurt and ineffective before being DFA'd. A triple slash line of .197/.243/.333, a wOBA of .254, a wRC+ of 58, and a WAR of -0.3 will inevitably lead to your release. He also displayed a lead glove, with a UZR/150 of -14.6.
Gibbons spent time on the DL with vision problems before not doing anything in the show and being DFA'd back to Albuquerque. His WAR was equivalent to Thames', his wOBA was just .293, and he, like Marcus, doesn't walk enough (8.1 BB%), strikes out too much (22.6% of the time), and couldn't field a ball to save his or anyone else's life (2011 UZR/150 in 100 innings of -46.5).
Totality Of The Situation
The Dodgers used 10 men in left, traded away their best defensive outfield prospect in Trayvon Robinson, and let Eugenio Velez start a game in left and appear in three more.

Consumers are feeling more optimistic about the economy. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index rose nine points to a seven-month high of 70.3. Despite higher gasoline prices and the prospect of tax increases at year-end, consumer expectations about future economic conditions rose, in part due to rising stock prices. Still, confidence is at depressed levels compared with the historical average.
