Giants Almost No-Hit Cubs in Win; Pence Gets his Scooter Back
The Giants fell just short of making history, but they did defeat the Cubs on Wednesday 5-0 in the rubber match of the series.
San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum labored right out of the gate, throwing 32 pitches and walking two in the top of the first. He was able to work out of it, however, and that became the theme of the game for the right-hander. It wasn't a pretty start by any means, but Lincecum (4-3, 4.18) gutted out five innings of no-hit ball, walking four and striking out five on 96 pitches (52 strikes). Manager Bruce Bochy was still happy with the start Lincecum gave the team.
"I thought he had real good stuff. He just missed on some pitches that were real close, but I thought it was a really good game for him, I think much improved from even his last game, which was a pretty solid game, in the fact that he was in the area a little bit more."
He was replaced by George Kontos (1-0), who kept the no-hitter going for another inning and a third and was credited with the win when the Giants offense finally woke up in the bottom of the sixth.
Angel Pagan led off with a double, and Hunter Pence followed up with a walk. Pablo Sandoval continued to come out of his slump with an RBI single, putting the Giants on the board and extending his hitting streak and his RBI streak to eight games. Tyler Colvin extended the lead to 2-0 with a two-out RBI double. Bochy says that Sandoval is fun to watch right now.
"He's a good hitter, and good hitters get in the zone. They're fun to watch. He's thrown out some good at bats…Pablo's been the guy that's really come through for us. I mean, the whole lineup, we're getting contribution, but he seems like he's in such a good zone right now. He's the guy you want up there with men on base."
But the Giants weren't done with the two-out RBIs, as they broke the game wide open in the bottom of the seventh. Gregor Blanco led off the inning with a single, moved to third on a bunt by Pagan, and scored when Cubs first baseman Mike Olt misplayed a groundball off the bat of Buster Posey. After an intentional walk to Sandoval, Hector Sanchez crushed a two-run double to the gap in left-center, making it 5-0 Giants. Sanchez is now eight-for-his-last 14 with runners in scoring position, and San Francisco has scored a league-leading 106 runs with two outs in 2014. Sanchez is also now three-for-three on the season after the guy in front of him is intentionally walked, and it's a role he likes.
"It's what I was looking for in that situation, to bring the runners in…not trying to do too much, and you see the result…probably that was the best situation. You want to be the hero."
Jeremy Affeldt finally surrendered a hit to the struggling Cubs when John Baker singled with one out in the top of the seventh, breaking up the combined no-hitter. Chicago hadn't been no-hit since Sandy Koufax threw a perfect game against them in 1965, the longest streak in the Majors. Juan Gutierrez allowed a single to Anthony Rizzo in the eighth, but that'd be all the offense the Cubs could muster. The 19-32 team has scored three runs or less in 29 of their 51 games. They're 0-19 when scoring two runs or less.
On the other hand, the Giants strengths were all on display on Wednesday. They're now 26-5 when scoring first in a game and continue to win at home (19-9 at AT&T). San Francisco's pitching also continues to impress. After Lincecum's five scoreless innings, Giants starters now have a 1.78 ERA in their last ten starts. The bullpen collected its 14th win (second in the Majors) and lowered its collective ERA to 2.31 (third-lowest in the Majors).
It was a win the Giants way, and it helped them to a 34-19 record, the best in baseball. They'll travel to St. Louis to begin a four-game set on Thursday night against the Cardinals. Jaime Garcia (1-0, 4.26) will take on Ryan Vogelsong (3-2, 3.20) at 5:15 PST.
Pence had his scooter returned to him by the SFPD in the middle of the game. His scooter was stolen on Sunday night, and San Francisco has really rallied around him to help him find it. He's very thankful to everyone who helped.
"Thank you, fans and media, for helping me do this. And BatKid. I definitely wanted to thank the BatKid for keeping the streets of San Francisco clean."
Pence has already ordered a new one, so he said that he probably plans to auction off the new scooter for charity.
"This was like a 'together we are Giant' type of story, where everyone had my back, so maybe we can use this scooter to raise some money for charity."by

21st May 2009: Strange Country
"If I want to buy paint or canvas, I have to come to Sanaa. If I want to put on an exhibition, I have to apply for it in Sanaa. I grew up in an Aden that was the capital of the south. Today it feels like a small town."
The socialists didn't have better politics back then, says the 48 year-old. "But women didn't have to go round shrouded like tents. Women and men were the same. A lot of things have changed for us – for the worse." So much so that in the south now some people want to reverse the unification. While Sanaa celebrated the national holiday this year with a military parade, fireworks and a chorus of horns, people died in Aden when the security forces broke up a demonstration.
Will Yemen succeed in perfecting its unity? "There is only one way out", Makrami is convinced. "The rulers must think about their country. They simply have to consider: What we're doing – is it good for our country or just good for us? Then we'll find the solution, I'm quite sure."

Stone Ranch Elementary School Reviews
This school is severely overcrowded. It is sad to see the amount of children not being attended to on the playground during recess. If your kid is average, he will be fine here. If you have a child that works hard and cares about his grades, this school will be a big disappointment. The Poway School District does not reward good students for their hard work and good grades. Teachers do not often give "4's" because it is not the norm. Apparently 4's are only given to those who are above grade level, although they do not teach above grade level! Try explaining this Socialistic approach to grading when you transfer schools! They fail miserably in helping children develop and "think outside of the box!" This school needs a lot of work! They need to start by regulating the students that do not belong there. Too many kids are promised spots along with their siblings and they live outside of the school zone. Send the kids back to Del Sur, Monterey , and anywhere else that they belong!

Thousands of protesters fill the grounds of the Capitol and Lansing's city building plaza area to protest right-to-work legislation in Lansing Tuesday 12/11/2012. (Lansing State Journal | Rod Sanford) / Rod Sanford | Lansing State Jour
Hundreds of teachers are expected to join the protest against right-to-work legislation in Lansing today, leading school districts to close some schools.
Absenteeism among teachers is reported normal today in the Bath, Charlotte, Grand Ledge, Potterville, Waverly, DeWitt, Haslett and Williamston districts. Calls to the East Lansing, Okemos, Mason and Holt school districts have not been returned.
St. Johns Superintendent Ken Ladouceur said about 40 St. Johns Public School teachers are attending the Right to Work rally.
DeWitt school superintendent John Deiter said some teachers may be at Right To Work protestmn but absenteeism among the teaching staff is normal.
Our teachers are very professional, and theyre working hard today, he said.
Matt Oppenheim, president of the Waverly Education Association, said: Were putting the kids first today and I dont know that our presence (at the Capitol) will change anything they are going to do.
Elsewhere in the state, some districts were closed. The Taylor School District sent an automated call to parents Monday, canceling classes because of expected high staff absenteeism. Warren Consolidated Schools also called off school for today because staffers notified the district Monday that they would be absent.
"While I understand this is somewhat unusual, my No. 1 priority is student safety, and without an adequate number of staff members, we cannot hold school," Warren's superintendent, Robert Livernois, wrote in a letter to parents.
John Reilly, president of the Taylor School District Board of Education, said: "We were unable to staff all of our classrooms" after many employees gave notice that they would be absent. He assumed the absenteeism would be because of the protest, but he said teachers do not have to give a reason when they request a personal day off.
Detroit Public Schools spokeswoman Michelle Zdrodowski said all of the district's schools are open, with requests for substitutes to cover for absent teachers at normal levels.
"Teaching and learning will continue as normal in our 100 school buildings today, which is a nod to the professionalism and dedication of DPS' teachers and administrators," Zdrodowski said at about 8 a.m. today.
The American Federation of Teachers-Michigan distributed a list of places to board buses to the protest, including four union halls in Detroit, one in Taylor, nine in other metro locations and five outstate locations.
The Detroit Federation of Teachers was not planning to take busloads of teachers to Lansing but was encouraging teachers to go.
Asked whether high teacher absenteeism would close schools in Detroit, DFT President Keith Johnson said, "Hopefully."
The extent of school closings -- if more occur -- may not be known until this morning, but local colleges expect to be open. Rick Fitzgerald, a spokesman for the University of Michigan, said there was no indication that faculty and staff planned to be in Lansing in large numbers today, the last day of classes for undergraduates.
Matt Lockwood, a spokesman for Wayne State University, had not heard of anyone from the university planning to attend the Lansing protests. A spokesman for Michigan State University could not be reached for comment.
The Lansing State Journal and Detroit Free Press contributed to this story.

Cystometric study
Cystometric study measures the amount of fluid in the bladder when you first feel the need to urinate, when you are able to sense fullness, and when your bladder is completely full.
Alternative Names
CMG; Cystometrogram
How the Test is Performed
You will be asked to urinate (void). The following will be recorded:
- The time it takes you to begin urinating
- The size, force, and continuity of your urinary stream
- The amount of urine
- How long it took you to empty your bladder
- Any straining, hesitancy, or dribbling that occurred
You lie down, and a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is gently placed in your bladder. The catheter measures any urine left in the bladder. A smaller catheter is then placed in your rectum. Measuring electrodes are placed near the rectum.
Next, heat sensation is measured. Room-temperature salt-water (saline) solution is placed into the bladder. This is followed by warm water. You will tell the health care provider what, if any, sensations you feel. The water is then drained from the bladder.
A tube used to monitor bladder pressure (cystometer) is attached to the catheter. Water or carbon dioxide gas flows into the bladder at a controlled rate. You will be asked to tell the health care provider when you first feel the need to urinate.
You may be asked to cough or push so that the health care provider can check for urine leakage. When your bladder is full, you will be told to urinate. The pressure of your urine flow will be recorded.
Your bladder is again drained of any urine or water, and the catheter is removed.
In some cases, x-rays are taken during the test. This is called videourodynamics.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparations are needed for this test.
For infants and children, preparation depends on the child's age, past experiences, and level of trust. For general information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topics:
- Preschooler test or procedure preparation (3 to 6 years)
- School age test or procedure preparation (6 to 12 years)
- Adolescent test or procedure preparation (12 to 18 years)
How the Test Will Feel
There is some discomfort associated with this test. You may experience:
- Bladder filling
- Flushing
- Nausea
- Pain
- Sweating
- Urgent need to urinate
Why the Test is Performed
The test will help determine the cause of bladder voiding dysfunction.
Normal Results
Normal values vary and should be discussed with your health care provider.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Enlarged prostate
- Multiple sclerosis
- Overactive bladder
- Reduced bladder capacity
- Spinal cord injury
- Stroke
- Urinary tract infection
There is a slight risk of urinary tract infection and blood in the urine.
This test should not be done if you have a known urinary tract infection. Existing infection increases the possibility of false test results. The test itself increases the possibility of spreading the infection.

Report: PSU trustees OK $60 million for settlements
Some of convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky's victims soon could start collecting part of as much as $60 million from Penn State University for the harm he caused, a school trustee said on Thursday.
Some settlements could be final within weeks.
"I hope this brings some level of closure for everyone," said university trustee Ted Brown, who confirmed that the board on July 12 set $60 million as a maximum combined payout for an initial batch of settlements. "I feel great sympathy for each and every victim."
It is not clear where Penn State will get the money for the payments. University officials want to cover them through a long-standing policy with the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance Co. They sued the insurance company in Centre County over its refusal to cover the claims, an ongoing fight that Brown and a university spokesman declined to discuss. The company could not be reached.
"This is very typical," said legal scholar and Bucks County-based attorney Marci Hamilton, who represents two claimants against Penn State. She said insurance companies "always" try to mitigate their obligations when major settlements are at stake.
"In the vast majority of these large settlements, insurance has covered a significant portion of it," Hamilton said.
Thirty-one men filed the claims against Penn State, each alleging abuse by Sandusky, 69. A Centre County jury found the former assistant football coach guilty in June 2012 of abusing 10 boys during the course of 15 years, often on school property. He is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in the State Correctional Institution in Waynesburg.
Brown said he wasn't sure how many claims the $60 million would pay but indicated it would not cover every victim. About 25 claims would be resolved, according to an Associated Press report.
The figure is the same as the fine the NCAA imposed on Penn State for the university's handling of the Sandusky case — a fact Brown called a coincidence.
Lead negotiator Michael K. Rozen would not specify dollar figures but said he expects some claims will be resolved within four weeks. He would not say exactly how many.
"Things are progressing, everyone is negotiating in good faith, and I'm optimistic," said Rozen, a New York-based attorney for Penn State.
Last week, university trustees authorized the school to offer some settlements. Penn State will disclose details only when all the claims are settled and agreements signed, according to the school.
"The university intends to deal with these individuals in a fair and expeditious manner, with due regard for their privacy," President Rodney Erickson said in a prepared statement.
Lawyers for some complainants limited their public remarks but said Penn State has been cordial and professional. Many of them have reached tentative agreements, said Tom Kline, a Philadelphia-based attorney representing Victim 5. He said lawyers are moving from negotiations to documenting "numerous previously achieved informal deals."
"I understand a global (overall settlement) amount will be announced by PSU, but individual amounts will be intended to be confidential," Kline said via email.
He said a settlement "will not undo the harm to Victim 5. It will serve to compensate him and to provide a closure to this chapter for both him and PSU."
Contributing factors in settlement amounts can include the severity and duration of abuse and the long-term impact on the victim, lawyers said.
"We don't see class-action suits involving child sex abuse because each case is so different. These are highly individualized determinations," Hamilton said.
She noted that abuse survivors often need financial help to cover years of therapy. At times, they pursue nonmonetary agreements to force institutions to better protect children, issue public apologies or take other steps, Hamilton said.
She said she could not comment on whether the Penn State negotiations might include nonmonetary provisions.
If insurance does not cover all the claims, the university indicated it could lean on an internal source. Interest from internal loans — collected when Penn State lends money to departments within the school — could help cover the expenses, administrators have said. The school has a $4.4 billion annual budget.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 30, 2012
For more information:
Bob Edwards
Public Relations Department
Glenville State College
(304) 462-7361ext. 6390
Glenville, WV—The ever expanding list of accomplishments by the members of the Glenville State College Bluegrass Band will soon include their very own CD. Around twenty current and former members of the band will travel to meet in Tennessee briefly after graduation to record their first CD at the studios of Blue Circle Records owned by the legendary song writer and singer Tom. T. Hall and his wife Dixie.
The group will stop in Auburn, Kentucky on Friday and Saturday, May 18th and 19th to perform at a bluegrass festival. They will arrive in Nashville on May 20th for a tour of Music City. The band will spend the next three days recording at Blue Circle Records in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville.GSC freshman Laiken Boyd of Cameron (Marshall County), West Virginia came to Glenville State College because of the bluegrass music program. She plays fiddle, guitar, bass, and sings for the GSC Bluegrass Band. "I have really enjoyed my first year at GSC. I am looking forward to the new challenges and experiences that our recording sessions will present us," she said.
The Halls are providing studio time and engineering service at no cost to the GSC Bluegrass Band. GSC Alum Rebekha Long, the first graduate of the GSC Bluegrass Music Degree Program, works for Blue Circle Records as a studio engineer and graphic designer and will be working on the project. The band will have to pay to have the CDs produced and designed. The band has worked extremely hard this year to save money for this exciting project.
"Part of the history of our Bluegrass Program has been to perform and learn from some of the legendary people in the industry. This amazing opportunity to work with the Halls will add to the prestige of the GSC Bluegrass Program. It will also serve as a good transition for me taking over the program from the wonderful job that retiring Buddy Griffin has done," said Megan Darby, Director of the GSC Bluegrass Degree Program.
The CD will include two original Tom T. and Dixie Hall songs as well as traditional bluegrass from Lester Flatt, the late Earl Scruggs, the Carter Family, Jimmy Martin, and others. CDs should be available for purchase at the annual GSC Bluegrass Band Concert on October 23, 2012.
This will be an expensive endeavor for the bluegrass band. Any donations from the GSC community for this project will be greatly appreciated. Anyone who would like to make a monetary donation or provide food and snacks for the trip should contact Darby at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (304) 462-6347.

First came the 23-point, second-half comeback against Southern Miss. Then came the UTEP women's basketball team's rowdy celebration, then tired grins.
Now comes the work.
Wednesday's rally made program history, but whether that is just a small-type line on a list of records or something more substantial that eventually leads to hanging a team picture on a wall is more than a month away from being settled.
That sorting begins today in San Antonio when UTEP tries to turn a special moment into a winning streak against UT-San Antonio.
"We've got to believe in ourselves," center Kristine Vitola said. "We showed we have a a lot of heart, after those two games we lost we weren't going to go on like that forever. We've got to keep believing in ourselves."
"This is very big," said Chrishauna Parker, whose rebounding was the key to the comeback against Southern Miss. "We can't lose any more games if we want to keep pace. We've got to go out and play our game."
That's something that happened for 21 of the 45 minutes against Southern Miss, a contest that lifted the spirits of everyone but only began to address the larger problems that led to the two-and-a-half-game slump following the 13-2 start.
"We've got to find a way to play 40 minutes to get out with a win," coach Keitha Adams said. "We don't like putting ourselves in that position. We've got to defend better, defense is something you can rely on every night. Our defense hasn't been good."
UTSA would seem like a good team for UTEP to start improving against. The Roadrunners are last in Conference USA in scoring offense at 61.7 points per game and in assists, next-to-last in field-goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free-throw percentage.
They have gotten to 11-7 overall and 2-3 in conference, including a victory against the Charlotte team that handled UTEP. UTSA is coming off a 19-point loss at Middle Tennessee but was somewhat competitive against a team on a 15-game winning streak.
For this year, at least, UTSA is UTEP's "designated rival," as this is the only C-USA team that the Miners play twice in the regular season. That doesn't mean to much to the players considering the last meeting between the programs was in the 2006-07 season, but Adams acknowledges it could mean something down the road.
"We definitely got a lot to get used to as coaches, players and fans," Adams said of the new-look C-USA. "We're learning new teams, their mascots, colors — I like their colors."
"Orange and blue," Vitola said of UTSA.
Going a little deeper, UTSA was a mid-pack team in the WAC last year and was in the Southland before that. This year they are led in scoring by guards Kamra King and Miki Turner, and have also had some big games from league volleyball player of the year McKenzie Adams, a 6-3 forward.
"It starts with their point guard Turner, she's quick, athletic, drives the ball, a play-maker who will pass to her teammates," Adams said. "They play hard. Their post players are scrappy, hustle and rebound it."
This is the 23rd meeting with the Roadrunners holding a 15-7 edge.
"We go to a lot of the same recruiting events," Adams said. "Playing each other twice, we will start making some memories."
The moment is what is urgent to UTEP now, and the Miners know, after the wild rally against Southern Miss, that this game will have to start at the start.
"We have to come out from the beginning and play like we did in the second half," Parker said. "We have to come out with a lot more intensity and not try to win the game in the last minute."
What: UTEP (14-4, 3-2) at UT-San Antonio (11-7, 2-3) in a Conference USA women's basketball game.
When, where: 3 p.m. MST, UTSA Convocation Center, San Antonio.
Radio: 1150 AM

There are many reasons why breastfeeding is a superior option to formula feeding for babies, however, a new study provides one of the most compelling to date.
Infant formulas are typically processed under high heat, and this leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGES).
AGES are sugar molecules that attach to and damage proteins in your body.
Not only do they build up in your body over time, leading to oxidation and speeding up the aging process, but they also lead to inflammation, which in turn is linked to a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease.

Sigur Ros is no longer wandering.
For the past few years, the members of this Icelandic band have been struggling to match their mid-career highpoint from the first of the new millennium. That's when the band was riding high on praise by everyone from director Cameron Crowe to Radiohead. Their 2005 album "Takk?" was among the decade's best.
Subsequent albums in 2008 and 2012 were solid efforts but seemed to lack the magic that set Sigur Ros apart. During a hiatus between those albums, frontman Jon "Jonsi" Birgisson - known for his airy falsetto and reverb-heavy bowed guitar - released a solo ...

|Efficacy of transient elastography in screening for large esophageal varices in patients with suspicious or proven liver cirrhosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22788929 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography (TE) to predict the risk of esophageal varices (EVs) in Chinese patients.
METHODS: In total, 46 patients with suspicious or proven liver cirrhosis underwent TE and liver biopsy. All participants were endoscopically screened for the presence of EVs and large EVs by two endoscopists who were blinded to the LSM status. Large EVs were defined as more than 5 mm in diameter. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for both TE and the platelet count/spleen diameter (PC/SD) ratio in predicting the presence of EVs or large EVs were calculated.
RESULTS: Of the 46 patients, 30 (65%) had EVs including 19 (41%) with large EVs. The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of LSM was 0.85 for the presence of EVs and 0.83 for large EVs, respectively. The cut-off values of LSM were ≥13.4 kPa for the presence of EVs and ≥14.6 kPa for large EVs. Notably, the AUROC of the PC/SD ratio was 0.92 for the presence of EVs but only 0.69 for large EVs.
CONCLUSION: LSM using TE can predict the presence of EVs or large EVs in Chinese patients with suspicious or proven cirrhosis and may identify patients who require endoscopic surveillance.

2004: Year of promising women directors
27th Dec 2004 19.56 IST
By Aparajita Ghosh
The biggest Bollywood hit of year 2004 came from a woman director. And the first Bollywood film on AIDS also came from an acclaimed female director.
In an industry that has been dominated for years by males, it takes self-confidence and perseverance for a female to make a hit movie or walk away with acclaim.
Farah Khan took a giant stride from choreographing to film direction with her movie Main Hoon Na , which became the biggest hit of the year. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer was Farah's "tribute to great filmmakers like Nasir Hussain, Manmohan Desai and Yash Johar" whom she admired in her youth.
Farah is now well placed in tinsel town to start a promising career in film direction and has already started working on her next project, which - needless to say - will star SRK again.
If Farah ruled the box-office, another female director Revathy was lauded for making a touching film that raised the issue of AIDS.
The film Phir Milenge was not a good grosser at the box-office, but it was critically acclaimed for its open minded approach towards the issue of AIDS through a love story that featured Salman Khan , Abhishek Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty . Phir Milenge was also lauded by various AIDS awareness groups throughout the world.
However, success eluded other female directors like Aruna Raje and Pamela Rooks whose films Tum and 'Dance Like a Man', respectively, could not have a good run at the box-office.
One filmmaker (not from Bollywood) who really came to widespread notice was Pakistani director Sabiha Sumar whose film Khamosh Pani got grand praises by critics and won awards in film festivals world over.
Similarly, Pooja Bhatt continued making friends in Pakistan and premiered her film Rog at the Kara Film Festival in Karachi in December. This was Pooja's second film to premiere at the Kara fest and she is looking forward to harness more and more talent from Pakistan in her coming movies.
Looking forward to year 2005, we can already see the rise of more promising women directors like Soni Razdan , who is currently making her first film Nazar, a supernatural thriller, with Pakistani actress Meera .
Farhan Akhtar's sister Zoya Akhtar too is pulling up her sleeves to make a movie that will take a tongue-in-cheek look at the life behind the camera in Bollywood.
But before all this, we will see the release of another female director Leena Bajaj's movie Shabd , starring Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt .

One Example of Why Some On "The Left" Turn Off Moderate Voters
In President Obama's speech the other night on the ending of combat operations in Iraq, he did what all presidents do and was respectful of his predecessor George W. Bush. Here is what he said…
I'm mindful that the Iraq war has been a contentious issue at home. Here, too, it's time to turn the page. This afternoon, I spoke to former President George W. Bush. It's well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset. Yet no one can doubt President Bush's support for our troops, or his love of country and commitment to our security. As I've said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis' future.
The greatness of our democracy is grounded in our ability to move beyond our differences, and to learn from our experience as we confront the many challenges ahead.
Now really, that is not exactly praise in my opinion. But if you watched Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow following the speech, you would think he lavished praise all up and down his ass. This is a little of Rachel's reaction, from The Raw Story…
"And to to have in this speech, as combat operations are ending, to have, as you point out Keith, the president not only not addressing the circumstances in which he we went to war, but these kind words for President Bush, describing his commitment to our security, despite the recklessness with which President Bush discarded that national security in favor of this war of choice, which only diminished our security, and is responsible probably for the Afghanistan war still going on today, for the depths of people who have died in Afghanistan after the time, after which that war would have ended had we not gone to Iraq, not to mention all of the people who died in Iraq," Maddow continued.
Woe Rachel, stop and take a deep breath. What would you have him do, give a campaign-like speech rehashing what we all know and have known for many years. President Obama's final sentence, posted above, says exactly why he didn't bring up the things Rachel wanted to hear, we need to move beyond that crap and look to the future. What good would that do today, to bring up all that stuff that has been very well reported and talked about for many years? The whole revenge mentality of some on the left really makes Democrats look petty. A philosopher that had a huge impact on my thinking, Jiddu Krishnamurti, taught that all thought is based on the past and interferes with the present (I'm paraphrasing). Here is a salient quote from Krishnamurti about anger…
One of the most common expressions of violence is anger. When my wife or sister is attacked I say I am righteously angry; when my country is attacked, my ideas, my principles, my way of life, I am righteously angry. I am also angry when my habits are attacked or my petty little opinions. When you tread on my toes or insult me I get angry, or if you run away with my wife and I get jealous, that jealousy is called righteous because she is my property. And all this anger is morally justified. But to kill for my country is also justified. So when we are talking about anger, which is a part of violence, do we look at anger in terms of righteous and unrighteous anger according to our own inclinations and environmental drive, or do we see only anger? Is there righteous anger ever? Or is there only anger?…
I was as angry as anyone about that goddamn war before it started and after it started. I screamed at my TV set when they were leading us into this war that "they are fucking lying, there are no WMD's" and all sorts of other stuff. But like I said, what good would it do for the sitting president to take jabs at the former president when it has been done plenty since that war began. It isn't "presidential" to do that, especially to satisfy the anger that still exists and seems to cloud Rachel's mind. This is a perfect example of why the Democratic Party turns off so many moderate voters. In effect, Rachel is asking him to trot out the blame, rehash the whole damn war, fulfill my lust for anger and revenge. Hasn't that been done? Shouldn't we move forward and make sure that kind of shit doesn't happen again?
If you look at what he actually said, he didn't praise President Bush at all. In fact, he basically said he fucked up, but it's not because he is unpatriotic, it's because he is fucking stupid. I can read between the lines, but apparently Rachel and Keith only heard the words "security" and "patriot" and were unable to see that he was not addressing the effects of the stupid fucking decision but rather that Bush's motivations weren't the issue, it was his stupidity. It was a very classy way saying Bush fucked up. I think he really believed that starting that war would help our security, whether it was Cheney who brainwashed him or someone else. Bush's fault lies in being a moron, not in his motivations.
I love Rachel and think she has the best news and opinion show on television, but man she can go off on tangents and lose perspective. President Obama is a classy man who looks forward, not back and is really trying not to play the blame game which the media is obsessed with, including Rachel. But I still love her.

And, this is why I read this blog. Exactly, Jim. I could have rolled over and screamed until I turned blue I was so aggravated at the reactions of Keith, Rachel and Chris Matthews. I'm thinkin' at least two of those three won't be happy until Obama gets Bush on stage in the middle of Yankee Stadium giving him the high hard one while yelling "Who's your daddy" as he smacks him silly.
Comment by staci | September 2, 2010 |
Adding, Rachel has been especially snarky ever since Gibbs cracked about the professional left. She's really running me away from her show. I'm finding it easier every night to find something else to watch.
Comment by staci | September 2, 2010 |
ahh I like rachel maddow, she's entitled to her opinion and I respect that but I agree with you. I think that she just wishes that Obama would show more righteous anger but if he did that then we'd have another idiot in office. I'm just glad that we're pulling out of Iraq after all this time.

A recent letter writer explained that we need to stop using the word "abortion" and replace it with the word "choice." Given advancements in medical science, it's abundantly clear that choosing abortion means choosing to end a baby's life.
The pro-abortion side believes that if a child is unwanted, it is acceptable to take her life. What kind of society believes that any "unwanted" person does not deserve to live? Yes, an unexpected pregnancy is an awful situation, but of all the choices available, abortion is surely the most destructive - not only to the aborted baby but to the mother as well.
How about if we as a society choose to help pregnant women with adoption services, parenting skills, counseling? How about if we decide that every human life has value? If abortion is really just another "choice," then why fear to say the word? On the other hand, if abortion is so horrific that we shouldn't even say it, maybe it's time to make a different choice.


text: G-Spot Is a Myth Or at least British researchers can't find it By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Jan 2, 2010 4:20 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (40) (Newser) – The G-spot is a figment of the imagination, say British researchers. A team at King's College London based its conclusion on questionnaires sent to more than 1,800 women, all of them pairs of twins. If the G-spot existed as a physical entity, the results would have backed it up, they say. "This is by far the biggest study ever carried out and it shows fairly conclusively that the idea of a G-spot is subjective," said one of the lead researchers. "I think this study proves the difference between popular science and biological or anatomical science," a gynecologist tells the London Times. But it won't end the debate, of course. "The biggest problem with their findings is that twins don't generally have the same sexual partner," says Rutgers professor Beverly Whipple, a believer who has written several books on the subject.

MUNCIE — The popularity of gun buyback programs has spanned decades on a national level. Thousands of guns have been turned in for safe destruction, often with a gift certificate or cash presented to the gun owner in return.
Shooting deaths, sometimes national and sometimes in the buybacks local area, have only served to broaden interest in the events.
Despite a number of gun buybacks in Indiana, including recent ones held in Gary and New Albany, there has never been one in Muncie.
Harvester Pryor Jr. wants to change that.
Pryor, who runs The Pryor Foundation, Inc. and serves as a youth pastor at Paramount Community Gospel Church, is holding a charity basketball game this spring featuring a team of local celebrities playing against the Harlem Wizards at Southside. The Wizards are a barnstorming team whose games take on a comedic tone, but Pryor is hoping to incorporate a serious moment with their appearance, too: an opportunity for community members to surrender guns.
In addition to other events around the Wizards appearance that weekend, May 17-18, Pryor wants to conduct an amnesty drop-off for local gun owners during the weekend hes calling Keeping the Peace. There would be no financial incentive, just an opportunity to safely get rid of an unwanted firearm with no questions asked.
Pryor still needs to hold meetings with the Muncie Police Department to firm up the details, but he hopes to have department members on hand to take the guns. Muncie Police Chief Steve Stewart said hes yet to have contact with Pryor about the event. Pryor said his goal is to collect 10-20 guns.
We know its far-fetched to say we want all of them, Pryor said. But at least if we have some turn them in, thats a great start.
Stewart said his department hasnt spent much time researching the possibility of holding a gun buyback. Hes not ruling them out in the future necessarily, but cites raising the money necessary because the buyback feature of such programs often trades gift cards or cash for guns as one of the principal hurdles.
Its always a money thing once you start one of those, he said. Ive read about where departments have had those, and all of a sudden they get flooded with guns that arent much. But theyre paying maybe $200 a gun. And they get flooded.
Stewart said the guns typically turned in often dont turn out to be worth the cost to the departments in terms of crime prevention. Despite his concerns about cost, Stewart said hes supportive of the overall mission of a gun buyback.
Anytime you can get a gun off the street, thats effective, Stewart said. The idea is, to get those guns out of the wrong hands, so to speak. So anytime you can do that, youre making a dent in the supply of guns, which is always a good thing.
Studies have questioned how much the money spent really helps prevent crime. A study by Charles Callahan and two other authors found that a Seattle buyback program in the 1990s had a negligible effect on crime rates in Seattle, with rates of some crimes, including firearm-related assaults and firearm-related robberies actually rising in the six months following the buyback when compared to the 12 months before.
Another report, by E.M. Kuhn and five other authors, looked at a buyback in Milwaukee. It studied the types of guns collected in buybacks versus those used in homicides and suicides. It found that guns collected in buybacks tended to be of a different type, caliber, age and manufacturer than those used in homicides and suicides.
Still, buyback proponents persist. Cincinnati City Councilman Cecil Thomas is one such proponent. A former police officer, Thomas is supportive of a Cincinnati group of ministers holding buybacks in his city.
Thomas knows statistics dont tend to support buybacks as a cost-effective crime prevention measure, but he remains supportive of them for several reasons. He wants to raise awareness for the issue of gun violence, but also because buybacks can recover a few guns that would have later been involved in a crime, maybe because they were destined to later be stolen from their original owner.
We strongly support any methods communities choose to participate in, Thomas said. And if nothing else, it brings awareness to the mere fact that the community, and the community and the government and the police, were all on the same page in doing whatever we can to try and address this issue.
Pryor holds a similar desire to be involved in Muncie.
Hopefully we can make a difference in Muncie, Pryor said. Thats my whole thing is, make a difference in Muncie.

Four Refreshing Garden-Inspired Cocktails
PHOTO CREDIT: Jerry Errico and Harvard Common Press, 2011
It's that time of year when us gardeners move from planting and planning to watering and weeding (sadly, for most, we're still a bit away from harvesting). But don't forget one of the most fun steps of all is watching your garden grow. Wait, you think this isn't actually a fun step? I suggest the next time you take a break from the watering and the weeding to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, that you have one of the below garden-inspired cocktails. I'll bet you'll find the whole process more fun.
Ginger Bliss: Originally created by wine and cocktail writer and educator Kelly Magyarics, this refreshing herbal numbers is so good I used it as the title of my book Ginger Bliss and the Violet Fizz.
3/4 ounce Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 ounce basil-infused simple syrup (see A Note below)
3 dashes orange bitters
4 ounces chilled Champagne or brut sparkling wine
Lemon twist, for garnish
Fresh basil leaf, for garnish
1. Add the Domaine de Canton, lemon juice, basil-infused simple syrup, and orange bitters to a chilled flute glass.
2. Top with Champagne, stir gently, and garnish with a lemon twist and basil leaf.
A Note: To make the basil-infused simple syrup, add 1/2 cup each water and sugar to a medium-size saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring it to a simmer, and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves. Let sit for one hour, and then strain. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Springtime Fizz: This is tart and tangy enough to keep your mind off the fact that those tomatoes don't look like they'll ever grow. It's also from Ginger Bliss and the Violet Fizz. Check for the dried hibiscus flower at Dandelion Botanical in Ballard.
1 teaspoon dried hibiscus flower
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Ice cubes
1 1/2 ounces gin (local Big Gin would work nice)
1 ounce PAMA pomegranate liqueur
Chilled club soda
1. Add the hibiscus flower and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, muddle well.
2. Fill the cocktail shaker halfway full with ice cubes. Add the gin and PAMA. Shake with springtime fervor.
3. Fill a highball glass three-quarters full with ice cubes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass.
4. Fill the glass almost to the top with club soda. Stir briefly.
Atomula: A third from Ginger Bliss and the Violet Fizz, this utilizes rosemary, one thing that even the leanest garden probably has in abundance (or, your neighbor has a rosemary plant that needs trimming – that can work, too).
Ice cubes
1-1/2 ounces dark rum
1 ounce Becherovka
1/2 ounce rosemary simple syrup (see A Note below)
Rosemary sprig, for garnish
1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice cubes. Add the rum, Becherovka, and rosemary simple syrup. Shake well.
2. Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass. Garnish with the rosemary sprig.
A Note: To make rosemary simple syrup add 1 cup fresh rosemary leaves, 2-1/2 cups water, and 3 cups sugar to a medium-size saucepan. Stirring occasionally, slowly bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat. Then lower the heat a bit, keeping the mixture at a simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the syrup completely cool in the pan. Strain through cheesecloth or a very fine strainer, and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Bride of Celery: This drink, from Paul Abercrombie's dandy Organic, Shaken and Stirred is nearly a garden in itself, and provides a fine reminder of what yours might produce later in the summer.
One-quarter of an organic Granny Smith apple, unpeeled, cored and diced
One 3-inch stalk organic celery, chopped
1⁄2 ounce freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
2 teaspoons organic sugar
1 1⁄2 ounces organic gin
1⁄2 ounce organic apple juice
1 organic celery leaf
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the apple and celery with the lemon juice and sugar until roughly mashed.
2. Add the gin and apple juice and give it a little stir to mix the flavors well. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3. Shake vigorously, then double-strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish the drink with the celery leaf, floating it on the top or inside edge of the glass.

Irmo, SC (WLTX) --- After helping Dutch Fork win back-to-back state championships, Alaina Coates is ready for the next chapter of her basketball career.
When the 2012-13 season ended, Dutch Fork was undefeated, ranked in the top 10 by USA Today and a big reason for that was the 6-4 Coates.
The McDonald's All-American who was also named All-USA by USA Today is hoping to contribute early for a USC program that can always find room for an athletic power forward who can be a force in the paint.
Coates says the transition from high school to the SEC will be a challenging one,but's one she is ready to embrace.

"Developments in the fall of 1935 and the spring of 1936 gave Germany an opportunity to take more positive steps in the direction of the nazification of Austria. Italy, which had given Austria assurance of support of the most definite character against external German aggression and on one occasion, by mobilizing her forces, had undoubtedly stopped German aggressive action which had been planned against Austria, embarked on her Abyssinian adventure. This and the reoccupation of the Rhineland in 1936 completely upset the balance in Europe. It is quite obvious that after Italy had launched her Abyssinian adventure, she was no longer in any position to counter German aggressive moves against Austria."
"Even more important than the terms of the agreement published in the official communiqué, was the contemporaneous informal understanding, the most important provisions of which were that Austria would:

One property of these vouchers is that it can be stacked between teammates. If more than one player uses this item, then the number of items obtained when the mission is cleared will be greater. You can get up to 6 items upon completing this mode if everyone in a full team of 6 uses the Voucher.

Focus your message. / Hill Street Studios/Getty Images
"Everyone has to give a speech at some point, and everyone is scared to do it," says Joan Detz, public-speaking expert and author of How to Write and Give a Good Speech. Detz gives five simple steps to speech success:
Know that less is more. Focus your message. "The audience can only absorb so much. A general rule is, the more you put in, the less they will remember."
Aim for a target. "Look at the audience in terms of demographics, age range, etc.," Detz says. "Speaking about energy conservation to a young adult who just bought a new car, for example, is going to be much different from speaking to a family."
Choose interesting research. Don't just "throw numbers at an audience," she says. Put data in everyday language the audience can relate to. For example, if you were speaking for an hour about underage drinking, tell the audience how many teens will call a help hotline in an hour. "This immediacy will grab their attention."
Write it down. Put your thoughts on paper before standing up and presenting them to an audience. "Whether you type them or write them down on index cards," know the opening, middle and end.
Practice &em; without stopping. "A lot of inexperienced speakers will worry about starting off strong and will practice the beginning of their speech 10 times and just skim over the rest," Detz says. Going through the entire thing is essential. Practice will, indeed, help make your speech perfect.

I received an e-mail from Environmental Defense. Environmental Defense, the United Steel Workers union, and Blue Green Alliance is launching a new ad campaign that says "Carbon Caps = Hard Hats." A group of unemployed steel workers is featured, as well as, the mayor of Braddock, PA, a town that was better known as the "Jewel of the Monongahela Valley" when it was a thriving steel producer. But the Monongahela Valley has lost 250,000 jobs according to Mayor John Fetterman, and needs a boost.
The mayor and the steelworkers know that carbon caps will force green industries to grow and are hoping to cash in on the wind. It takes 250 tons of steel to make a wind turbine. I did not know that! And the steelworkers in Braddock are ready to rock on producing as many turbines as possible.
It sounds like a plan to me. But so many people just don't have the foresight to see that a new green industry will spur our economy. And others fight it because they are tied to our old polluting economy. But, Mayor Fetterman knows that wind energy is "the next big business built from steel." And if big business from green energy can spur steel jobs in the Monongahela Valley, it can happen in Michigan, Ohio, and other blue-collar states too.
Capping carbon will be the catalyst for green industry. A good sense move because it literally tackles two problems with one solution—global warming, and new jobs. Once we go green, I bet we find that we've also solved a variety of health problems that are related to the fossil fuel industry from the air we breathe, to the water we drink that affects every living thing worldwide. It'll be a domino effect, but for the good for a change.
Michigan already sees it can benefit by being the next world producer of lithium batteries, a strong competitor in the solar energy market, and creating wind farms instead of coalburners. It just takes a mindset that looks to the future instead of clinging to fossilized ideas.

Fight on to keep Crosby Garrett Roman helmet in Britain
Last updated at 10:39, Saturday, 09 October 2010
A Cumbrian MP has called for an export ban on a £2 million Roman helmet found in Cumbria, throwing open the possibility that Tullie House could still acquire the artefact.
Related: Hopes high Crosby Garrett Roman helmet will go on display in Cumbria
The museum lost out on the Roman cavalry parade helmet, found in a field near Crosby Garrett south of Appleby in May, in a high-profile auction in London on Thursday.
But if its buyer wants to take the piece abroad, the government could impose an export ban, potentially giving the Carlisle museum another route to buying it.
Now, Penrith and the Border MP Rory Stewart has demanded an export ban is introduced, and said: "Cumbrians have shown both their immense generosity and sincere appreciation of this exceptional antiquity, and I know that this is a blow to their hopes to see the helmet installed in Tullie House's new Roman Frontiers gallery.
"But we must not be downcast, and look to the bodies that exist to protect finds such as these from leaving the country never to be seen again.
"We must lobby hard to retain it here, where it has lain undisturbed for 2,000 years, and find time to try and match the price. If anything, today's result has spurred me on to make this happen, and I will actively work for as long as it takes to secure its future here in the UK."
Tullie House had put together a seven figure bid for the artefact, including a £1m contribution from the Heritage Lottery Fund, in the hope of keeping it in Carlisle.
Other contributions included £5,000 from Cumbria County Council, £50,000 from an anonymous benefactor, an original work by a contemporary Belgian artist, and a substantial pledge from another Cumbrian museum's Trust.
It was hoped the piece could have a 'Mona Lisa effect' on the area's fortunes, generating millions through tourism.
But on Thursday, a crowd of staff in the museum's lecture theatre gasped and groaned as a live web feed from the auction at Christie's in London showed the price of the artefact spiral. It was eventually bought by an anonymous bidder for £2 million.
But Mike Mitchelson, leader of Carlisle City Council which runs Tullie House, says hopes remain high that the helmet will stay in Cumbria.
He said: "If it was a foreign bidder and there is an export ban, and if the opportunity came to match the final price, I would be quite confident that with enough time we would be in a position to match it.
"On two occasions during the auction the bidding eased off and we thought, 'we are going to be in there, we have got this'.
"The final price was more than I anticipated it would go for, and I thought we would be in a position to secure the helmet."
The farmer on whose land the helmet said he would have liked it to stay in Cumbria, but Eric Robinson remained tight lipped over whether he will receive any of the money raised from Thursday's auction.
"It's quite amazing [that it was worth so much]," he said. "I would have liked it to be kept in Cumbria but I can't do anything about it."
Mr Robinson said the man who found it had been coming to his farm for seven years and 'hit the jackpot' with this find.
He added: "I saw it when he found it. It looked very special, like it was pretty important."

Have your say
Can't someone create a replica we could put on display by beating an old iron watering can into shape with a large hammer? I'll supply the can. Can anyone supply a hammer?It would be nice to have it, but at 2 million pounds? No. We have more important things to spend our money on at the moment.
I don't know if you really are from the USA John or whether you are just playing let's pretend, but dentistry apart, the cultural aspect of our lives is important too.I just so wanted to see such an exquisite example of our Roman past to be displayed for all to see in the county where it has lain safely for so long.
