Runs on Dunkin.
The House Oversight Committee, led by Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, took a contentious, partisan vote Thursday morning to advance a resolution holding former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, 21 yea votes to 12 nays.
The contention here, laid out in this resolution, is that Lerner waived her right to plead the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination when she professed her innocence in an opening statement to Congress last year. Lerner, who led the IRS department in charge of reviewing tax-exemption statuses, has repeatedly asserted her right to remain silent when asked to testify in hearings related to a scandal that broke last May, in which conservative groups were flagged for close scrutiny by IRS employees.
A number of liberal groups also received extra scrutiny during that time, but Issa contends in his new committee report that only tea-party-affiliated groups faced "systematic scrutiny because of their political beliefs."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the panel's top Democrat, strongly condemned the contempt hearing in his opening remarks Thursday, linking it to former Sen. Joseph McCarthy's witch hunt for communists 60 years ago.
"I cannot cast a vote that will put me on the same page of the history books as Senator Joseph McCarthy," said Cummings, adding that he was not defending Lerner's action but her Fifth Amendment rights. Other Democrats, including Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., also later raised the specter of McCarthy.
The contempt vote comes a day after the House Ways and Means Committee took a rare vote along party lines to formerly ask Attorney General Eric Holder to begin a criminal investigation into Lerner. The Justice Department is currently investigating the IRS's treatment of conservative groups.
So what does this mean for Lerner? Congress can hold officials in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena, as Issa and his fellow Republicans on the panel contend has happened here. This assertion must then be approved by the full House. House Republican leadership, including Speaker John Boehner, backs this particular contempt vote, so it looks like the Republican-controlled chamber will follow through.
From there, things get more complicated. As the Congressional Research Service explains, "Contempt may be used either to coerce compliance, to punish the contemnor, and/or to remove the obstruction." Each action from here would involve a different branch of government. To coerce compliance — in this case, force Lerner to answer the Oversight Committee's questions — Congress can go to a federal court to seek a civil judgment stating that Lerner is legally obligated to comply with the committee's subpoena. Congress could also take up the issue with the executive branch to seek criminal prosecution. Or, in the most extreme (and rarest) of cases, Congress could use its own authority to detain Lerner until she agrees to cooperate.
None of these options has a clear path to success. It's unlikely that the Justice Department would devote much time to pursue a case against Lerner, and the legal process of taking this case to a judge could take months, at best. Detaining Lerner seems politically unworkable, and would create a rare breed of governmental chaos.
Just look at what happened after the House detained Hallet Kilbourn, who was held in contempt for refusing to testify to Congress in 1876 during an investigation into a bankruptcy. That detention eventually turned into a Supreme Court case after Kilbourn sued the House speaker for false imprisonment. Consider it highly unlikely for Boehner and Issa to even consider imprisoning Lerner.
Holding people in contempt is not new for Issa. In June 2012, after a 16-month investigation into the botched Fast and Furious "gun-walking" operation in Arizona, Issa's panel voted to hold Attorney General Holder in contempt. The issue then, as now, was highly partisan, and resulted in a party-line vote, although 17 Democrats crossed over when the entire House held the contempt vote. Most Democrats staged a protest and chose to walk out on the vote, which marked the first time a sitting attorney general was deemed in contempt of Congress.
The hangover of Holder's contempt vote still haunts the halls of Congress, as this past week demonstrated. Holder appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and was led by Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert into a shouting match over the contempt vote. The exchange eventually devolved into a discussion of asparagus.
While a contempt vote could result in serious consequences for Lerner, it seems much more likely that this vote will go the way of Holder's: good politics for Republicans, but without much trouble for the person held in contempt.

Design is the Secret Ingredient in Successful Green brands of the Future
My attention was hijacked recently by marketing images of this new concept car from VW. Concept cars pop-up at every motor show, and alone the sleek lines of the next big auto-thing is not usually enough to tickle my fancy, but this one hit my sweet spot. The new 'e-bugster' from VW is not just the beautifully designed evolution of the famous 'VW beetle' – but it's also 'green'.
Breaking through the Green Ceiling with outstanding Brand Design
The e-bugster combines both genuine green credentials (it's an all-electric coupe) with may favorite of all brand attributes – outstanding design. For me, this mindset is most often the missing ingredient for the customer value proposition of environmentally-centric brands. Being 'green' just isn't enough to move any but the most environmentally conscious of consumers.
As a branding consultant I've been privy to many product and business briefings with an environmental brand proposition. For most the products main attribute is its green credential – it rarely compares with its competition on design, functionality or more importantly cost. As the dust clears from the initial cloud of interest around green brands, consumers are demonstrating that even though they may be ideologically predisposed to environmentally friendly products and services, unless they are of equal or better quality and design, and unless they are of equal or better value price-wise, in most cases they will fail to motivate customers to purchase. Good intent unfortunately rarely translates into good business. I call this the 'Green Ceiling'.
Which takes me back to this impressive piece of brand design from our friends at Volkswagen.
The 'e-bugster' concept car provides zero emissions and a range of 100 miles (160 km) with 114-horsepower, the vehicle uses an 85-kilowatt electric motor powered by lithium-ion battery pack, mounted under the rear bench in a layout similar to that of the original beetle. The battery is rechargeable via a plug located at the front below the logo, charging to 80% capacity in 30 minutes. For car lovers – the sporty look of the coupe is enhanced by its low, streamlined roof, widened C-pillars, contrasting black A-pillars, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Call it Green Plus, it is those brands that pull the pants-down of their competition through design, functionality, performance and price who truly lead the charge for saving the planet. Like it or not we have evolved as a marketplace to expecting it all and more – we face the no compromise generation of consumers regardless of the colour of our brand proposition.
If you'd like some assistance is developing a sharp value proposition for your brand – green or any other colour – why not get in touch. We'd love to help you develop a successful go-to-market strategy and brand design solution.

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) - The Florida-based author of a book called "Shades of Gray" says her work is repeatedly being confused with that of a chart-topping erotic fiction writer.
Susanne Jacoby Hale says she has received e-mail, Facebook messages and phone calls from people thinking she wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey."
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by British author E.L. James has sold millions of copies and become a sensation among women drawn to the sadomasochistic romance between a college student and a wealthy entrepreneur.
Hale's book is about a dropout prevention teacher.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports even Hale's family members are being approached. Her husband, a medical sales representative, says doctors regularly approach him wanting to talk about the book. Teachers and fellow students have asked their children about it also.

Beyonce Wears Bikini, Plays on the Beach With Blue Ivy in New Picture
Haters be damned -- Beyonce's bikini bod really is as amazing as it looks on the February cover of GQ.
After the men's magazine released the image of the star -- billing her amongst the "Sexiest Women of the 21st Century" -- some readers suspected her amazing abs and toned legs were the work of Photoshop.
PHOTOS: Beyonce's post-baby style
But without even saying a word, Beyonce, 31, has proven them wrong.
Jay-Z's wife posted a new photo of herself and daughter Blue Ivy, 12 months, on her Tumblr page. In the stunning snapshot, the mother and daughter hold hands while playing on a beach in the water. Wearing a blue-patterned bikini top with matching shorts, Beyonce shows off her flawless bikini body. Blue, meanwhile, had fun in the sun wearing only her diaper.
PHOTOS: Hottest celeb post-baby bods
Beyonce explained to GQ that although she loves being a mother, she really really enjoys her work.
"I love my job, but it's more than that: I need it. Because before I gave birth, it was the only time in my life, all throughout my life, that I was lost," she admitted. "But I've sacrificed a lot of things, and I've worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it."

Risk factors for Entamoeba histolytica infection in an agricultural community in Hanam province, Vietnam

Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:102 doi:10.1186/1756-3305-4-102Published: 10 June 2011
Entamoeba histolytica is an important protozoan intestinal infection in resource-poor settings, including Vietnam. The study objective was to assess risk factors of E. histolytica infection in a community in Vietnam, where wastewater and human excreta are used in agriculture. A case-control study was conducted among residents of Hanam province, Northern Vietnam. Cases (n = 46) infected with E. histolytica and non-infected controls (n = 138) were identified in a cross-sectional survey among 794 randomly selected individuals and matched for age, sex and place of residence. Potential risk factors including exposure to human and animal excreta and household wastewater were assessed with a questionnaire.
People from households with an average socio-economic status had a much higher risk of E. histolytica infection (odds ratio [OR]=4.3, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3-14.0) compared with those from households with a good socioeconomic status. Those individuals who never or rarely used soap for hand washing had a 3.4 times higher risk for infection (OR=3.4, 95% CI: 1.1-10.0), compared to those who used always soap. In contrast, none of the factors related to use of human or animal excreta was statistically significant associated with E. histolytica infection. People having close contact with domestic animals presented a greater risk of E. histolytica infection (OR = 5.9, 95% CI: 1.8-19.0) than those without animal contact. E. histolytica infection was not associated with direct contact with Nhue river water, pond water and household's sanitary conditions, type of latrine or water source used.
Our study suggests that in settings where human and animal excreta and Nhue River water are intensively used in agriculture, socio-economic and personal hygiene factors determine infection with E. histolytica, rather than exposure to human and animal excreta in agricultural activities.

Can an organization file an e-Postcard for a prior year?
You can file an e-Postcard for a prior year through one of our approved e-file service providers. However, you cannot file an e-Postcard for a prior year through the link on our site to the filing system. For example, if the organization's tax year ended on December 31, 2009, and you attempt to file your 2009 e-Postcard after the close of your 2010 tax year (December 31, 2010), the filing system only will allow you to file for 2010. While there is no penalty for late filing an e-Postcard, your tax-exempt status will be automatically revoked if you don't file for three consecutive years. Note: The requirement to file Form 990-N is an annual requirement.

The 10 Biggest Douchebags in Country Music

Days earlier, the show contacted him with the idea to bring Smith on camera to sue for damages, a shot at justice shuffled between Maury Povich and The Price Is Right. He respectfully declined. Not that it mattered anyway; he'd been trying to serve Smith with court papers for his own case for weeks with no luck. The promoter continued to be unresponsive to phone calls, emails and visits to his warehouse, which doubled as his business and his home.
"I can't believe how hard this guy has been to track down. Kind of funny considering he calls himself a promoter, and then runs and hides," White says. "But also it's frustrating because all I'm trying to do is get back what was taken from me."
Even as an owner of a record label, it's not in White's nature to sue anyone for damages—the whole process just felt so very un-punk. But after months of getting the run-around and hearing how many people were being ripped off along with him, he knew they had to do something.
"This guy is a real piece of work," White says. "I'd rather be running my business right now, but instead, me and a lot of other people are figuring out what to do about the money we lost. It may not seem like a lot, but together, it really adds up quick."
The Punk Rock Picnic, in its original form, was never designed to command big stages, big headliners or big headaches. It started in Scott Litwak's kitchen, just half-baked ideas sorting themselves out around a table cluttered with pizza boxes and beer cans as he and co-founder Jim Schwab tried to figure out how they were going to allocate funds from a less-than-monstrous $5,000 budget Schwab had socked away, dollar by dollar, all year. The goal was to throw a party that would basically consist of a bunch of friends, their bands and maybe a few stray, crusty punkers. It would be a rowdy, shirt-ripping good time with a few decent bands corralled by some chain-link fencing. Not that those were very effective at keeping people from getting in for free.
"I remember seeing video after the event during the early years of, like, these punks with big, ol' bellies climbing up some crummy fence in their creepers and suspenders and shit and hurling themselves over, almost breaking their necks to get in the show. It was crazy," Schwab says between bites of melty, charbroiled deliciousness at TK Burger in Costa Mesa. Sporting a blue ballcap over his shaved head, he sits with Litwak on the back patio of the local burger chain, the walls of which are covered with band stickers, as cars whiz by in the dark. FM pop is crackling over tiny outdoor speakers. Litwak, an OC native with tanned skin and close-cropped brown hair, points to the crudely drawn red, white and black OC Punk Rock Picnic logo on Schwab's shirt from 2008. "The real beginning starts precisely with this guy and that logo," he says.
Before Smith existed in either of their worlds, these longtime friends were figuring out the simple logistics of setting up stages, obtaining food permits, starting up a business bank account and becoming promoters. Schwab first got the idea to throw a full-day punk show after a friend of his had tried and failed. Yet, somehow, he and Litwak had managed to get enough of their friend's bands to sell $10 tickets to keep this gig afloat. Despite almost getting shut down by the OC Sheriff's Department the morning of the event, the first show at Irvine Lake drew about 800 people and began a pattern of sweaty punk revelry that made the Picnic unique.
Somehow, it melded tattoo-chested testosterone with suburban angst, family fun and an adrenalin-filled sense of togetherness. You felt electric as your Chucks skated across a sun-beaten lawn, surrounded by pop-up stages blasting white-knuckled aural aggression from all corners. By the second year, the Picnic had outgrown Irvine Lake and opted to move to Hidden Valley Park, a former amusement-park area. It stayed there for two years until the land was buried by a tract of sterile apartment homes.
In the fray of flailing punks and raucous bands was Smith, who had come for the first few years lugging gear as a roadie. A local punk rocker and a fan of what Litwak and Schwab were doing, Smith approached them in 2010, offering his services as a stage manager. He couldn't have done so at a better time: The drain of logistics; expensive motocross entertainment; complaints over a lack of organization; and false allegations that Finding a Way Foundation, their self-made brand promoting autism awareness, was a bogus charity. Add to that surly punk musicians skirting their contracts for ticket sales and set times, and it was too much for Litwak and Schwab to handle on their own.
Smith had a reputation as a ball buster—well-connected and experienced at throwing shows, he took no guff backstage from musicians who had a tendency to disappear for an hour. He was exactly the kind of guy they needed.

Football coaching search down to three for Gateway
TribLIVE Sports Videos
A new varsity football coach at Gateway is expected to be hired next week, pending a school board vote scheduled for Wednesday.
Administrators narrowed their search to three candidates as of this week, said Gateway Personnel Director Bob Reger. He said one of the candidates is a former NFL player.
Last year, a majority of the school board reduced the athletic director position to half time and prohibited an athletic director from also coaching.
Smith and some of his supporters said the moves were intended to drive him out, and that they were racially motivated.
"When Terry Smith was run out of here by the school board — my opinion, not a fact — there should have been a plan in place to replace Terry Smith," said Monroeville resident Sasha Craig at the school board meeting Monday.
Reger said the first coach who was selected declined the job, which delayed the process.
School Director Bill Bailey said that if the athletic director position is restored to full time for next school year, it will leave the district more vulnerable for a lawsuit by Smith.
"And that would be quite expensive for the district, and rather embarrassing for the district," Bailey said.
School Director Dan Nowak said he has never heard anyone on the school board entertain the idea of restoring the position to full time.
"Where is this coming from?" Nowak said.
"I guess you could call it word on the street," Bailey responded.
"Stick to the facts," Nowak said.
Smith's attorney said last week that a complaint Smith filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is ongoing.

It was the second day of the tournament at Baton Rouge Country Club. Playing our first match of the morning round. We were playing the 12th hole tees were up, however the pin was back left about 5 yards from the back and about 5 yards from the left side of the green on a tier. My Pro V1X hit about 2 yards right of the hole and spun left into the cup. I had hit a little draw into the pin. It was a perfect shot with the perfect ball! It was my second ace and both were in tournaments!

|The emerging roles of placenta-specific microRNAs in regulating trophoblast proliferation during the first trimester.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23046105 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|In the human placenta, eight 'placenta-specific' microRNAs (miRNAs) are exclusively expressed and are associated with high cloning frequencies. The expression of placenta-specific miRNAs is known to be involved in preeclampsia, but the understanding of these miRNAs is still limited. The goal of this study was to investigate the levels and localisations of eight placenta-specific miRNAs in placental villi with different proliferative abilities during the first trimester. Immunohistochemical analyses indicated that placental trophoblast proliferation ability was associated with the weight of villi in the same gestational week during the first trimester. Of the eight placenta-specific miRNAs, quantitative real-time RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of miR-517b and miR-1283 was increased in the lightest villi and decreased in the heaviest one, the expression of miR-519a was increased in the heaviest villi and decreased in the lightest one. In situ hybridisation analysis showed that miR-517b and miR-519a were located primarily in the trophoblast layer, while miR-1283 were expressed not only in the villous trophoblasts but also in some villous stroma cells. These findings suggest that miR-517b and miR-519a may play an important role in trophoblast proliferation during the first trimester.

Thanks. I like my logo to be relatively obnoxious on web pics, as it deters the stealers (somewhat). I've had two of my images stolen over the past two months. But my logo was smack dab in the middle and I still got credit.

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 130 IS will cost $199 when it arrives in February. / Canon U.S.A.
This week at CES Sony announced five entry-level Cyber-shot cameras, four of them utilizing CCD sensors. Among them is a new superzoom bridge camera, a sub-$200 waterproof model, and an everyday shooter priced under $99. For the right user, many of these should be fairly compelling.

Life Outside the Mainframe
My essay on Fred Moore and his historical significance, Life Outside the Mainframe, is now online in the August book review issue of the AFSC's Peacework. It's in the context of a review of John Markoff's new book, in which Fred Moore is a central figure, What the Dormouse Said: How the 60's Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry.
Different groups of my friends will be interested in different facets of this story. But here's an excerpt:
On Route 128, where I grew up, the dominant myth is that the computer and the Internet developed out of research funded by the military and the government, motivated by the goals of miniaturization for rocketry, nuclear and space weapons, and satellite surveillance.
For the last 20 years, I've lived on the fringe of Silicon Valley. Here, there's a different creation myth of personal computers and the Internet that idolizes the heroes of entrepreneurial capitalism.
"Both stories are true, but they are both incomplete," says longtime New York Times Silicon valley correspondent John Markoff at the start of his new work of historical correction, What the Dormouse Said: How the 60's Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry.
Myths matter. Are computer networks top-down tools of centralized government and corporate power, or participatory tools for grassroots empowerment, information democracy, and independent citizen journalism?
Markoff admits to having accepted the standard myths. But once he started hearing anecdotes that made him aware of the gaps in his view of high-tech history, he set out to tell the world the missing parts of the story: "One of Silicon Valley's supreme ironies [is] that an itinerant activist who rejected material wealth ... ended up lighting the spark of what became the 'largest legal accumulation of wealth in the 20th century'.... Indeed [Fred] Moore would also become the unrecognized patron saint of the open-source software movement."
You can read the full article here.
[Addendum, 4 November 2005: In connection with the 30th anniversary of the Homebrew Computer Club which Fred helped form, many of the club's newsletters which Fred edited have been posted online, including one with a nice sketch of Fred and other club members. It's immediately apparent that the Homebrew newsletter was turned out with the same typesetting setup, and with many of the same stylistic features, that Fred later used for Resistance News.]
On a related note, the AFSC's San Francisco office is organizing an event on 27 October 2005, Remember The Draft: From Vietnam to Iraq: Honoring Resistance Then and Now: "Honor those who risked their lives and reputations as CO's, draft counselors and resisters during the Vietnam War. Welcome those who are resisting today." The organizers are soliciting names, stories, pictures, film footage, flyers, and artifacts of the anti-war movement "then and now". I'll be suggesting Fred Moore as one of those deserving posthumous honors. [Follow-up:: Several of the talks from that event have been posted online, including one by David Harris.]
I've also posted a new set of leaflets about the military draft , draft registration , draft resistance , conscientious objection, and the medical draft . There are hardly any substantive changes, but I think I've finally fixed most of the voice recognition errors in the earlier versions. If you have suggestions for further changes, please let me know -- or just make them yourself. I've posted all the leaflets in Wordperfect and HTML form, as well as the printable PDF's, for anyone who wants to edit them.Link | Posted by Edward on Wednesday, 31 August 2005, 22:31 (10:31 PM) | TrackBack (0)

Not only that, but you can still run your vintage 1968 COBOL apps on the same box. And you get all of this without having to increase your datacenter rack space, power and cooling utilization, property taxes, etc.
Sounds like a winner to me!Posted by: battery, 19 June 2008, 23:44 (11:44 PM)

Localization of Eosinophilic Esophagitis from H&E stained images using multispectral imaging
Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School Boston, MA,USA
Diagnostic Pathology 2011, 6(Suppl 1):S2 doi:10.1186/1746-1596-6-S1-S2Published: 30 March 2011
This study is an initial investigation on the capability of multispectral imaging to capture subtle spectral information that would enable the automatic delineation between the eosinophilic esophagitis and other eosin stained tissue components, especially the RBCs. In the method, a principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the spectral transmittance samples of the different tissue components, excluding however the transmittance samples of the eosinophilic esophagitis. From the average spectral error configuration of the eosinophilic esophagitis transmittance samples, i.e. the difference between the actual transmittance and the estimated transmittance using m PC vectors, we indentified two spectral bands by which we can localize the eosinophils. Initial results show the possibility of automatically localizing the eosinophilic esophagitis by utilizing spectral information.

Update from this am: 1 week, down 6 lbs
This is pretty typical for me. I can lose a quick 5-10 lbs, then I tend to stagnate.
Maybe this time, I'll actually exercise...
Update from this am: 1 week, down 6 lbs
This is pretty typical for me. I can lose a quick 5-10 lbs, then I tend to stagnate.
Maybe this time, I'll actually exercise...
I went from 220 a few weeks back, and this morning before my shower I was 214.
This new plan we have at work with the pedometer and recording our steps and any additional exercise time each day online to keep track of helps.
Plus I have cut back some more on food.
I also this week picked up from my vitamin dealer some of that green coffee bean extract, will see how that goes.
But since dropping six pounds in the past few weeks I have more energy that I can actually feel.
My goal is to get to 170, but back around '93 I was down to 150, and really felt great with a 31" waist.

If I keep on the path I'm on, I may to join this thread. Over the past few days I've had way too many opportunities to drink beer and eat junk food. Thankfully, I'm still exercising regularly.
Down 4.8 and busted *ss at the gym today!
My Day 11 - I'm down 1.6 Lbs. from 213.2 to 211.6, it's kinda slow, but at least I've started. My arms are sore from lifting and my legs are tired and weak from the elliptical. I'm a wimp.

I set up stages for an IPSC match today. Lots of lifting and carrying, very little food. I almost fell off the scale when I read it, but I know it is temporary until I get a good meal. Still... 4lbs down...
In my experience, I weigh myself in the morning right after getting up. This should give you more consistent measurements than during the day since you don't have much food/water in you (other than the previous night's dinner).
I went shooting yesterday, hiking thru the woods and ate light, went to bed hungry. All they did was show commercials for food from 10 till midnight. Evil people! But, I'm down another pound... 7 total!
But, we're Going to Peking Gourmet for duck tonight... Ruh, Roh...
Day 13 - down
254.2 - 247.2 = 7 down.
I am shooting for 220 or less by Experience.

256 today.......thrilled becasue I ate like a hog all weekend and am only up 1 pound..

Here's the latest:
Looks like everyone is headed in the right direction...
Day 14 - down? You know it!

I guess it's time for me to get agressive. I weigh exactly the same again. But hey... at least I've stopped getting fatter.
And I can re-use the same photo!

|Cardiac involvement in African and American trypanosomiasis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18922485 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT; sleeping sickness) are both caused by single-celled flagellates that are transmitted by arthropods. Cardiac problems are the main cause of morbidity in chronic Chagas disease, but neurological problems dominate in HAT. Physicians need to be aware of Chagas disease and HAT in patients living in or returning from endemic regions, even if they left those regions long ago. Chagas heart disease has to be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, primarily in patients with pathological electrocardiographic (ECG) findings, such as right bundle branch block or left anterior hemiblock, with segmental wall motion abnormalities or aneurysms on echocardiography, and in young patients with stroke in the absence of arterial hypertension. In HAT patients, cardiac involvement as seen by ECG alterations, such as repolarisation changes and low voltage, is frequent. HAT cardiopathy in general is benign and does not cause relevant congestive heart failure and subsides with treatment. We review the differences between the American and African trypanosomiasis with the main focus on the heart.

Ever pine for the days of yore, when contract deals were made with a handshake? Lifelong baseball man Emil Joseph "Buzzie" Bavasi (father of current Mariners GM Bill Bavasi ) passed away a few weeks ago (May 1, 2008), and he left behind a long and storied legacy. Perhaps his most famous moment was dealing with one of the first instances of concerted collective bargaining in baseball: the Koufax/Drysdale holdout of 1966.
Back then, you see, the reserve clause was still in effect, meaning players were under team control more or less in perpetuity. (It wouldn't be until 1975, with the watershed Seitz decision, that free agency would become a possibility.) Hall of Fame pitchers Sandy Koufax and Don Drydale had other ideas, however. They decided, just after the 1965 season, that they could have some actual leverage if they made a pact: either both of them were satisfied by the terms of the contract, or neither of them would sign. This leverage wasn't just imaginary.
In a piece written at the beginning of the 1967 season in Sports Illustrated Buzzie Bavasi details exactly what happened between the Dodgers and their two star pitchers. Be sure to check out the entire piece. It makes for some great reading.
I want to draw your attention to a few specifics, though. Of the barrel Koufax and Drysdale had him over, Bavasi notes: "To tell the truth, I wasn't too successful in the famous Koufax-Drysdale double holdout in 1966. I mean, when the smoke had cleared they stood together on the battlefield with $235,000 between them, and I stood there With a blood-stained cashbox. Well, they had a gimmick and it worked; I'm not denying it. They said that one wouldn't sign unless the other signed. Since one of the two was the greatest pitcher I've ever seen (and possibly the greatest anybody has ever seen), the gimmick worked. But be sure to stick around for the fun the next time somebody tries that gimmick. I don't care if the whole infield comes in as a package; the next year the whole infield will be wondering what it is doing playing for the Nankai Hawks"
Now, in fairness to Mr. Drysdale, he was no slouch on the mound, however, in Bavasi's eyes, it was Sandy Koufax he couldn't afford to lose. In retrospect, he was absolutely right, at least for 1966. That season, which would prove to be Koufax's last, was a spectacular one (323 IP, 241 H, 317 K, 77 BB, 1.73 ERA, 27-9 record). At the end of the '66 season, Koufax would win the Cy Young for the second straight year, but narrowly lose the MVP to Roberto Clemente, despite receiving more first place votes (9-8). Drysdale, on the other hand, actually had an ERA worse than league average that year (for just the second time in his career), though he was coming off a season in 1965 when he had finished fifth overall in the Cy Young voting (which Koufax had won).
What is most striking to me about this trip down memory lane is Bavasi's reaction to long-term deals. When asked by Drysdale and Koufax for a combined $1 million for three years, Bavasi scoffed: "As I recall, I said something like, "You're both athletes, and what you're selling is your physical ability, and how can you guarantee your physical ability three years in advance? If you guarantee me that you will both be healthy and strong and still winning 20 games each in 1968, I'll give you a three-year contract." Since not even Cassius Clay could make a guarantee like that, the meeting broke up."
Wise words. Either things have changed a great deal in baseball since 1966, or sometimes the apple really does fall far the tree. Some bits of baseball wisdom just don't travel well down through the years, I guess.

Guy Martin has had some amazing rides in his life, but we imagine this one will stick out for quite a while.
Testing the Britten V1000, ahead of the John Britten Memorial Tribute in Christchurch, Martin's name gets added to the very small list of priviledged individuals who have ridden John Britten's masterpiece.
The road racer has some high-praise for the now nearly quarter-century-0ld design, and makes note of how the Britten V1000 is both similar and different than superbikes of the 1990's and superbikes of today.
Your moto-jealously starts right after the jump.

A local organization has gathered and wrapped hundreds of gifts for Wiregrass children who won't share Christmas with their family because their parents are in jail.
His Prison Ministries accepts monetary donations annually so children can have toys, clothes, and other gifts under the tree.
Nearly 200 area children will be helped this year through the program.
"I remember one child said last year 'momma sent me a present from jail. I didn't know they had presents in jail' and that child was so excited," said Linda Wimes, founder of His Prison Ministries.
There are still several children who need warm clothes.
To find out how you can help, call His Prison Ministries at 793-6455.

|I went to school at James Madision University which is located in Harrisonburg, VA. There was a skirmish outside the town in June of 1862. The site of the battle is far enough off the main roads so that no one who isn't actually looking for the site will find it, so I never saw anyone else there. I would sit on a rock that memorialized Turner Ashby alone for hours at a time reading and thinking. Quite frequently I would have neck hair moments there. I miss those days.

Bob Costas Beach Houses in Crystal Cove for $4.7 mil; Leave Your Gun Home When Visiting
Categories: Shmortgage Board, Sports, TV
|Bob Costas
In November, former Angels pitcher John Lackey, who sat out the 2012 season with the Boston Red Sox while recovering from Tommy John surgery, listed a mansion for sale in the same guard-gated neighborhood for $10 million.
Realtor.com reports the home, which is being purchased by the veteran sportscaster and his wife, Jill, is not exactly a bungalow. It boasts four bedrooms, six bathrooms, 4,534 square feet of living space, custom light fixtures, hardwood flooring, crown molding, a gourmet kitchen, a separate guest casita and various bonus rooms.
My "guest casita" pulls out from a couch.
Casa de Costas--think "Buub Cooz-tazz" for the old SNL skit--is plopped on a private corner lot that affords "breathtaking" views, according to the website, which can be taken in from a saltwater pool and spa or the pool house or the outdoor kitchen or the bocce ball court or anywhere else on the sprawling rear lawn.
It was the Dec. 2, 2012, Sunday Night Football halftime show that included Costas commentating the U.S. gun culture contributed to
Fortunately, the U.S. has experienced no other high-profile incidents involving firearms since Buub Cooz-tazz's monologue.
