Opposing Health Funding For A Million Arizonans, Pearce Compares Health Care To High-Priced Fashion Items
As soon as Republicans swept into power in both Congress and state legislatures across the country, many of them began advocating for spending cuts they claim are intended to rein in state and federal deficits. Some of these more radical state Republicans have even pushed for their states to reject federal money for crucial programs, with Gov. Rick Perry (TX) advocating for letting states opt-out of Social Security and numerous Texas lawmakers considering pulling the state out of the Medicaid program, something the right-wing Heritage Foundation supports.
Now, Arizona state senator Russell Pearce (R), who has just been elected the president of the state senate, has launched a push to reject federal funding for the state's Medicaid program, known as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). Pearce wants the state to turn down $7 billion in federal funding that would help keep AHCCCS afloat. When asked what the more than one million Arizonans who rely on AHCCCS for care would do, Pearce told a reporter that "church, community, families got to provide."
Yesterday, Pearce appeared on a local news show to field questions about the agenda he plans to enact as Senate President. At one point, host Brahm Resnik probed Pearce's proposal to reject the federal health care funding and asked him if the more than one million people who rely on the program will just have to "fend for themselves" if AHCCCS doesn't get the federal money it needs to survive. Pearce responded that the issue needs to be "put in context," and compared funding health care to an unwise, broke shopper going to the fashion merchandise chain Dillard's and buying clothes. Resnik later asked Pearce what the "future" will be of the million people on the program if it no longer has the funds to operate, and Pearce dryly responded, "They'll probably be okay," and suggested that they may move the program towards privatization, adding co-pays and premiums:
RESNIK: Let's turn to the budget now. You told Howard Fisher of Capitol News Services last week you are prepared to let the Feds keep billions of dollars they provide for the state access program. You said, quote, "If we're saving (state) money the fact that we lose some federal money means nothing. … Church, community, families got to provide." So are you saying that you're willing to let the 1 million people who get health care from the state through access just fend for themselves?
PEARCE: What I'm saying is you sometimes can't afford to take the federal money –
RESNIK: Are you saying —
PEARCE: Things need to be put in context. Hang on. It's like going to Dillard's, you don't have any money, but it's a great sale. So I'm gonna buy it, but I have no money. The federal money comes with strings. One of the great challenges we have this session will be to work around some of the stimulus money we took to tie our hands. […]
RESNIK: So you are willing to say no to those billions of dollars?
PEARCE: I don't think we'll take the money. […]
RESNIK: And the one million people on access, what's their future?
PEARCE: They'll probably be okay.
RESNIK: Okay, how?
PEARCE: […] It's time to cut the fat and trim government.
RESNIK: Next June when the budget is done will there be an access program, a state insurance program for a million people?
PEARCE: We're not gonna eliminate it, we're gonna fix it. There's gonna be co-pays, premiums, we're gonna fix it.
Watch it:
One in five Arizonans is now utilizing AHCCCS. Due to the recession, the program has already been drastically scaled back, with as many as 18,000 Arizonan children cut from KidsCare– the division set up to care for juveniles — this past year alone. Without the federal funding, there is little hope that AHCCCS will be able to continue to serve Arizonans. Pearce is putting the health of more than a million people on the line with his ideological crusade against the federal government, and denying people health care is not the same as denying them designer goods from fashion retail stores.

U.S. Data Boost European Stocks
LONDON—European shares jumped Friday to stretch a winning run to six sessions after a report painted a much better-than-expected picture of the U.S. jobs market.
After trading with mild gains for much of the session, the Stoxx Europe 600 iIndex extended its advance in mid-afternoon after the U.S. February jobs data came out to finish with a gain of 1.7% to 257.22.
Banks led the advance, with Societe Generale up 4.8% on Euronext Paris and Standard Chartered up 3.5% on the London Stock Exchange. Irish lenders were particularly strong, with Allied Irish Banks and the Bank of Ireland both sporting double-digit advances.
The U.S. reported that nonfarm payrolls dropped 36,000 jobs in February, much fewer than the expected 90,000 drop. This was taken as a positive sign toward the U.S. economy. U.S. shares rose in midsession trading. German industrial orders also climbed, rising a stronger-than-forecast 4.3% in January.
At the regional level, the French CAC-40 index rose 2.1% to 3910.42, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index gained 1.3% to 5599.76 and the German DAX added 1.4% to 5877.36.
The euro and pound both gained against the dollar. In recent months, the greenback has gained against the common currency as investors tried to gauge the implications of high debt levels of countries such as Greece.
Prime Minister George Papandreou is seeking to secure European support for Greece in a Friday meeting with Germany's chancellor.
"[The hope of] a solution to the debt problem in Greece has triggered a rally on the equity markets," said Gerhard Schwarz, head of global equity strategy at UniCredit. He believes that equity markets can continue to rally in the short term with markets in "a transition phase" where sustained trends are not yet visible.
In major market action: Auto makers rose, with Chrysler's part-owner Fiat rising over 4% and Volkswagen's preference shares climbing 3.3%.
Miners also gained in Europe, with Rio Tinto shares up 2.7%. Negotiations between metal producers and steelmakers in Asia are currently underway, with metal producers hoping for steep hikes in rates. Japanese steelmakers agreed to pay 55% more for coal, according to a report out Friday.
Shares of coal and coke miner Xstrata moved up 5.6% after its metals trading firm shareholder Glencore International announced plans to pay the company at least $2.25 billion in cash for several Colombian coal-related assets.
On the decline, shares of France's Veolia Environnement gave up 4.3%. The company reported 2009 revenue fell 3.4% while net profit rose to €584.1 million, compared to a profit of €405.1 million on cost cutting and asset sales.
U.K. recruiter Michael Page International dropped 2.5% after reporting an 85% drop in annual pretax profit.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for iPad, PC and Mac coming 28 November, trailer now up (video)
Back in March this year, Pocket-lint revealed that a new version of the classic isometric role-playing game Baldur's Gate was in development, using an updated version of the Infinity Engine and featuring a swathe of improvements and tweaks. We also revealed that as well as coming for PC and Mac, it would make its debut on the iPad.
Now Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is a gnat's chuff away from release on 28 November, and Overhaul Games has made a gameplay trailer to ramp up the excitement before it becomes available - and we like. We like a lot.
The development team says there have been more than 400 improvements to the original Dungeons and Dragons-licensed game and its expansion pack, Tales of the Sword Coast, which is bundled. In addition, there are three all-new characters you can add to your party and a new adventure, The Black Pits.
You will even be able to play multiplayer across devices on the new version. So if you have the iPad version you will be able to play with other gamers using PCs, Macs or - when it arrives - the Android tablet edition of the game.
A stack of features that Bioware added to Baldur's Gate 2 have been brought into the Enhanced Edition, including new classes and sub-races. And there are a number of new cinematics created for this release.
We're not sure of how much Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will cost on the iPad as yet, but it is already available for pre-order on PC for $19.99. Check out www.baldursgate.com for more information.

here I have just started my fyp and ints gona be in opencv. I needed to vectorize the image and in order to do that I chose to use cvblobslib. I downloaded it and it was build successfully but when I use it in my project there's a link error saying that "could not open cvblobslib.obj" the exact string is pasted below
fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'E:\Faizan\myWork\moCap\blobslib\Debug\cvblobslib.obj'
of the solutions which I found on net and tried on my project are to remove any spaces in path, build in release mode rather than in debug mode, but problem was not solved. the thing is that the stated file does not get built with other files when cvblobslib is built, i.e it is not there in the stated folder.
any body please give a solution

Skip to comments.Remembering "The Genesis Flood" - 50th anniversary remembrance
Posted on 02/03/2014 6:17:36 AM PST by fishtank
Remembering The Genesis Flood
by John C. Whitcomb
December 8, 2010
A word fitly spoken has incredible power (Proverbs 25:11). Burdened by the rampant disregard for Gods Word, two young men collaborated to write a book called simply The Genesis Flood. Fifty years later their shout still reverberates round the world. In February 1961 a small publisher in New JerseyPresbyterian and Reformed Publishing Companybrought into this world a 518-page, somewhat ponderous, volume entitled The Genesis Food: The Biblical Record and Its Scientific Implications. The co-authors were a little-known theologian (myself) and a hydraulic engineer, Henry M. Morris. Little did we know what the future held for our new work. Conception The book was conceived in September 1953 at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana, where I had already been teaching for two years. At the time I accepted the gap theory of Genesis 1:12, which was very popular in Christian circles and was the view held by most of the seminary faculty. That changed when Dr. Henry Morris was invited to present a paper on Biblical Evidence for a Recent Creation and Universal Deluge to the American Scientific Affiliation, which met on campus. I was profoundly impressed with his paper. Later, I wrote him a letter explaining its influence on me: I feel that your conclusions are scripturally valid, and therefore must be sustained by a fair examination of geologic evidence in time to come. My only regret is that so few trained Christian men of science are willing to let Gods Word have the final say on these questions . . . . I have adopted your views . . . and am presenting them to my class as preferable alternatives to the Gap Theory and the Day-Age Theory.
(Excerpt) Read more at answersingenesis.org ...
from the article ...
"During that period,
Henry and Mary Louise Morris were also raising six children,
and he headed civil engineering departments at three schools
Southwestern Louisiana Institute,
Southern Illinois University, and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute."
How could he head the civil engineering department at three schools when he "denied science"?
I still have my copy. :)
I do too. I think I need to dust it off and go through it with my children.
I still have my copy too; for Christmas in 1982 I gave a copy to my dad, who was a geologist and an evolutionist...it caused a bit of a stir then, and led to some further soul-searching.
Oh, yeah.
We all need to thank Algore someday for validating the premise that his "scientists" can be dishonest, corrupt, concealing, petty and vindictive when it comes to their true religion: 'sciencism'.
They are not true scientists, in that they look at all the data and then tell the truth.
No, they have constructed various forms of idols that MUST be worshiped.
They have written various sacred texts of end-time disasters with complicated but dire eschatologies, and they have built a powerful and effective priesthood and clergy.
"Sciencism" is not true science, it is ignorant earth-worship.
Here is what happened - a slide presentation:
There was a world-wide flood, and it was created by waters delivered by a massive comet that struck in what is now the Southern Ocean.
I'm aware of a PhD who teaches evolution at a major university who recently became a Christian and joined a conservative Reformed church, apparently unaware that Biblical Christianity and evolution are incompatible. His wife has read books by Henry Morris and become convinced. From what I understand he is really struggling right now.
I have an old hydraulics textbook written by Dr. Henry Morris - in the foreward it discusses the hydraulics of the Ark.
Why do you encourage him with attention?
Who? Fishtank?
I'm just asking the standard question with the standard assumptions -
how could someone deny ancient earth and evolution, thus "denying science", and be the head of an engineering department.
One would think such an anti-science, anti-intellectual would deny every underpinning of the field of engineering, right?
I'm not arguing with you.
I just don't understand why you waste your time arguing with him.
Consider this a "bump"...
And yes, I have read it.
Genesis 1:2 says this earth was flooded first. Long, long before Genesis 6. Nothing in the Genesis account describes the creation of each and every individual 'soul/spirit intellect'. Yet we know the 'soul/spirit intellect' existed, as it was the 'breath of life' that God breathed into Adam's nostrils that made him living. 'Breath of life' means soul. And it is that 'breath of life' (soul/spirit intellect) that returns to the Maker that sent it.
Humans have an amazing capacity for it.
Or maybe more likely a storm of comets and other debris that originated from the fountains of the great deep inside the Earth. So massive it even broke open the atmosphere surrounding the Earth [see Genesis 7:11].
Center for Scientific Creation - In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood
Dr. Brown was inspired to formulate his hydroplate theory by Whitcomb and Morris as well as the Bible.
So then you are comfortable with the idea that the Bible lies about creation and the worldwide flood?
The comet-induced flood was "the fountains of the deep."
We humans evolved in the abyss that is now covered by more than two miles of water. We were flushed out and are now occupying lands that, prior to the comet, were nearly unoccupied (mostly too cold).
Here's an interesting perspective that you might consider: humans are an invasive species adapting to this new environment.
Another consequence: it is almost certain that Atlantis existed.
The Bible doesn't lie. But God uses stories and ideas that our limited minds can handle to teach us spiritual truths.
The Noah story is the vessel, or the cup that brings the spiritual water for us to drink. Don't get so wrapped up in the cup that you miss the water.
I never knew for sure if my dad had reconciled with his Creator through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Read my FR homepage, it will help eliminate some of your assumptions about me. But it will probably bolster other wrong assumptions too! :')
Your viewpoint appears to differ from mine if you think millions and billions of years elapsed time is true. God gave us dominion over all other earthly creatures after
the creation week.
101 Evidences for a Young Age of the Earth...And the Universe
Starlight and Time by Russell Humpheys
The key to the starlight and age of the universe is 'gravitational time dilation'.
I'll stay out of this argument. I'll simply mention that I spent two semesters as a visiting professor at an engineering school in Istanbul. The very essence of science and engineering is that there are laws of nature that we can discover and use. However, the very essence of Islam is that there are no laws of nature. Everything happens because "Allah wills it." If you bring fire to a piece of paper, the fire doesn't cause the paper to burn. The paper burns because it is the will of Allah.
Muslims believe that Allah recreates the entire universe at every instant, and literally, what was a rock at one instant can be recreated as a tree.
How, then, can Muslims be scientists and engineers? I never did figure that one out.
I read an interesting book a while back - very dry, but in essence it was about why the Western culture was able to advance science (because of the assumptions of Christianity) and why the East and Islam were not able to.
In Islam, it is blasphemy to expect consistency of natural laws, because that is considered "chaining Allah".
The problem in the East was with the ancestor worship, sort of taking the fifth commandment to a twisted extreme. They were culturally restricted from experimenting beyond what their ancestors accomplished until they were able to flawlessly replicate what the ancestors did.
Ummm, MrB supports the post.
That's what the whole "/sarc" phrase was supposed to indicate.
"How, then, can Muslims be scientists and engineers?"
Simple. They can do that because it the will of Allah to get rid of infidels.
Unless, of course, you need them to work to pay more taxes .....
Hey! Now THAT's an awesome idea!!!
I wonder if anyone's ever thought of that MORE TAX idea before???!!???
"Simple. They can do that because it the will of Allah to get rid of infidels —— by Muslims using sci and engineering."
That's tough. I was particularly close to an uncle who died a few years ago. Though he professed his faith in Christ, I fear he was never saved. I won't know for sure until eternity. What I do know is our Lord is holy and just. He will do what is right.
"...our Lord is holy and just"...
And His Word stands forever.
Now you've gone and ruined all my fun...
My testimony is at odds with your statement that this book and the works of Dr. Henry Morris did damage to the cause of Christ. I was raised in a liberal mainline denomination and grew up reading the evolutionary Time-Life encyclopedia set cover to cover. My faith was marginal due in part to the apparent discrepancies between "science" and the Bible. Consequently, I lived a marginally Christian life and wandered far.
It wasn't until I experienced a year of intense discipleship that included reading Dr. Morris' writings, that I woke up and realized that true science (discovering God's works) and true faith (discovering God's Word) are perfectly synchronized. For me, the cause of Christ was realized as I now walk as a devoted follower of Jesus.
And really, isnt that the problem - too many marginal believers or pseudo-believers not living fully for Christ, sharing truth and loving the folks that are put into their lives?
- a fellow engineer
I see you are a student of the word AND the manuscripts!
This Morris guy, who also wrote the "Defenders Bible", thinks Noah took dinosaurs aboard the ark. Not big ones he says, but "little baby dinosaurs.":) That is how little known that there was a first earth age and how people make foolish statements (sottish) by not recognizing that fact.
I was once a thoroughgoing evolutionist back when I thought I was about the smartest guy on the planet. But not any more.
Evolution across species simply makes no sense. Neither does the Big Bang or the "billions and billions of years..." schtick. None of it is required and most of it is implausible looking at it using today's science.
But, put it all in the same pot with Man Made Global Warming and you have quite a stew. Unfortunately, it is thin gruel, bad tasting. One may as well go back to practicing medicine with leeches and lancets.
You could be writing my story right there as well, including the "fellow engineer" part.
and I thought it happened like 5000 years ago or theres about
I'm mechanical engineering, Texas A&M, myself.
Here's a sample of a "foolish" author's work??
I cannot describe my surprise when I finally read what even the KJV actually says. Why there was a flood right there in the second verse. See I could not understand IF all the young earth, 6, 24/7 day creationists were correct, why would God allow the law of the land make TOE supreme?... Course it does not bother some denominations to have TOE the methodology in which God used over the ages of time. Why that so called 'original sin' did not take place in an apple orchard but a fig grove. The translators were being kind when they used that word sottish.
As a gardener, I know that once I plant a seed it is out of my hands if the seed will germinate.
And you, without a doubt, are the wisest engineer here.
:) I think you are doing fine. The Lord said, "Seek me". That is what you are doing. Just a word of encouragement.
Apparently they celebrate themselves rather than God. Good catch.
When I say Morris' book caused damage to the cause of Christ, really, it was more Morris' followers who did so. Believers like me who do not hold to the literal 24-hour-days interpretation of Genesis are absolutely castigated by Ken Ham and other Answers in Genesis types, the spiritual successors to Morris, saying that we are "evolutionists", or "believers in hydrogen gas", or "following after science rather than God."
I am none of these things, and nor are other believers who take physical measurements of God's creation to be truth.
To me, it seems that Morris and his followers are positing a Wizard-of-Oz-like God, who must cover up millions of years of weathering (e.g., the Grand Canyon) and ambiguously attribute it as the result of a single year-and-a-half flood event. The God of the Bible does not work that way; he cannot lie.
I don't know what the correct interpretation is, but I refuse to believe that God would deceive mankind about the most fundamental question of our physical universe: its age.
Be that as it may, I am glad you are a follower of Christ.
The flood could be completely universal-- that is, destroying all of sinful mankind and the nephesh animals associated with him-- and NOT be global in scope.
We know that the people of Noah's time refused to obey God's command to spread out and fill the whole earth. Why then should God flood the whole planet a mere 20,000 to 60,000 years ago?
Moreover, there is no geologic evidence for such a worldwide deluge such a short time ago.
I am a believer in Christ, and of the truth of the Bible. But I do not hold to the 24-hour-creation-day interpretation, nor the "Noah's flood made the Grand Canyon, and coal, and oil" interpretation of Mr. Morris and his acolytes.
Absolute poppycock, the whole book, without a single shred of physical evidence.
THIS is exactly the kind of thing that damages the cause of Christ in the eyes of the unbeliever.

The World's Least Likely Democrat, Gunning For County Commissioner
Remember Dave Wilson? The guy who got his 15 minutes of fame days before the runoff election right here in Houston? You know -- the guy who owns a print company and has a lot of time on his hands so he decided to wage war against Mayor Annise Parker's campaign. Wilson ended up sending around 35,000 print mailers to prospective voters reminding them that Parker was gay.
Wilson is like the "Energizer Bunny" that seems to keep going and going and his latest scheme involves Harris County Precinct 4. Although a Republican with no blue blood in him, Wilson decided to file as a Democrat in order to challenge the scandal-ridden Republican Jerry Eversole at the last minute, literally.
In case you are not familiar with the duties of the Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner, allow Eversole's explanation to sink in.
As your Precinct 4 commissioner, I represent the interests of 904,163 residents and manage an operating budget of $80.9 million. Responsible for the largest Harris County commissioner's precinct, I oversee the maintenance and construction of 2,992.64 miles of roads, which is approximately 45.5 percent of the total Harris County road miles. Precinct 4 also has 9.7 miles of bridges, which is 41 percent of all bridge miles in Harris County.
Translation: I make it rain, bitches!

Wilson's late entry and the lack of foresight by Democrats have now created a scenario, albeit an unlikely one, where Wilson will run unopposed as a Democrat in the March Primary. He will get a chance to challenge Eversole in November.
The End ... right? Not quite.
The Harris County Democratic Party has burned the midnight oil in order to remove Wilson on a technicality. The HCDP Chair, Gerry Birnberg, sent Wilson a letter stating the obvious violation: It took Birnberg three pages to tell Wilson that he does not live where he claims to be registered to vote. See, that took only one sentence.
Birnberg states:
"I want to stress that my withholding of certification of your name for placement on the ballot
is not because I have concluded you do not live within precinct four. It is solely because I have
concluded that your Application fails to include your residence address, as required by mandatory provisions of the statute."
Birnberg seals the deal by noting that the address where Wilson registers to vote is a business address and not a homestead. It seems that the drama and nightmare have saved the HCDP from an embarrassing situation.
Wilson is not out for the count. He plans on challenging the decision. To be continued ...

Mild and Wimpy: Can This Be Winter?
By ELSA BRENNER
Published: March 2, 1997
THERE are memorable winters on record. And then there is the current one.
In the unforgettable category, there was 1888, when a ferocious snowstorm, sometimes referred to as the mother of all blizzards, dumped 50 inches on the New York region. There was also 1947, when 25.8 inches of snow fell in 12 hours. In 1969, the weather was so bad and the cleanup so tardy that a cold and snow-bitten electorate refused to re-elect New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay, and people as far north as Yorktown were unable to emerge from their snowbound houses for weeks.
Other winters, like 1983, 1985 and 1993 were no picnic either, and their blizzards also went down in history for showing no mercy.
Most recently -- and still fresh in many minds -- was last year, when up to three feet of snow blanketed the region during an early-January blizzard, which was just one episode in a seemingly endless winter that witnessed 17 storms and a record total accumulation of 75.6 inches of snow in Central Park.
But now there is the winter of 1996-97, which could go down in the annals as the winter that wasn't.
Yet, considering that some of the worst snowstorms have occurred in late winter -- the blizzards of 1888 and 1993 both happened in March -- this winter could yet redeem itself. Meteorologists, however, are predicting that it will not.
For now, though, there are many who could not be more pleased with a year off from snowy weather and the concomitant commuting hassles, fender benders, slips and falls, bruised tempers, out-of-control heating bills and irreparably damaged municipal budgets.
And so it is with gratitude and even affection that many are describing this winter as wimpy.
''We're loving it, every single snowless minute of it!'' said Richard H. Halevy, a spokesman for the Mayor's Office in Yonkers, where last year the city overspent its snow-removal budget by almost $1 million.
In municipalities throughout the region, many of which also overshot the mark last year in their snow-removal budgets, the winter of 1996-97 is being considered a gift from Mother Nature.
''So far, it sure is looking good, although we're just a little bit superstitious about calling an end to winter quite yet,'' said John A. Liszewski, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works in Yonkers. ''Officially, April 15 is the finale as far as snow removal goes.''
Like other municipalities, Yonkers, the state's fourth-largest city, will store its excess supplies of salt -- it has 7,000 tons on hand -- in a sealed-off and dry location at the end of this season and will wait until next year, or even the next if necessary, to use it.
In White Plains, it was a similar scenario of a snow-removal budget in the black for a change, with Joseph J. Nicoletti, Commissioner of Public Works, waxing positively poetic about the mild winter.
''We're salting away our money along with the supplies,'' he said with a chuckle. ''Really, though, don't you think we all deserved a reprieve after what we went through last year?''
The question on many people's minds is, What caused this winter to be so mild and relatively snowless?
Howard Altschule, a meteorologist with Fleetweather Consulting in Hopewell Junction, said it all has to do with the jet stream, which this year has been drifting to the West.
''It has allowed warm air to settle in the East,'' he said, ''and so the main brunt of the weather has been in the form of rain.''
By contrast, last year there was a steady stream of cold air flowing out of Canada, which encountered a series of moist storm systems and created snow.
But in State College, Pa., at the offices of Accuweather, a meteorologist, Dave Houk, said that the winter ''has not been wimpy for everyone.''
While the northeastern parts of the country may have been fairly free of snow, arctic air was bottled up in the middle of the country, resulting in record below-normal temperatures for many parts of the Northern Plains.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the East hit all-time highs for this time of year -- Rochester, for example, recorded 73 degrees on Feb. 21 -- and golfers and other outdoor enthusiasts rejoiced.
In White Plains, Nicholas DiMenna, who usually heads for the Bahamas in February, joined several of his jacketless friends for 18 holes of golf at the Ridgeway Country Club early in the weekend.
''It's a bonus!'' he said happily, explaining that so far he and his friends have been able to play straight through the winter. ''Usually, you have to go South to get weather like this.''
But several blocks away, at the Ridgeway Elementary School, there were no bonuses to be had, and a very serious second grader, Toby Lewis, consoled herself by rationalizing that last year ''we had a lot of snow days and lost a lot of learning.''
Another second grader, Katie Mitchell, failed to agree with her best friend on that count: ''I think that maybe a couple of snow days would have been very good. I think it would be nice to sleep late and not have to worry about anything. So I'm praying for at least one day.''
In Peekskill, a stern Superintendent of Schools, Salvatore J. Corda, reminded students that snow days were ''all well and good'' but last year they had to pay up at the end of the term.

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said, "Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing it's idiot." The O in idiot was Obama's logo or whatever it is. The sticker made me really angry. I'm not an Obama fan, but I think making racist, hateful remarks is just wrong. When Bush was the president, liberals did the same thing and I hated that too. What do you think? Is it okay to say whatever horrrible things you want about the president, or should you show basic respect even if you disagree with his decisions?
Respect for the President
In general I find it immature to be so disrespectful of any real person, politician or otherwise. It's not ok to call someone an idiot just because you disagree with them. It does make birth boards more fun though.
My 3 c/s kids:DD (9) DS (6) DD (3)
I think the bumper sticker was more of a reflection on the person who purchased it than on the President. ;) I agree with you, mocking other people is just rude and mean.
Between my extremely conservative family and the state I live in, I have almost become an Obama supporter.
I don't mind arguing against ideas and platforms, but the insults and lies that are heaped on top are ridiculous!
To love or have loved, thAt is enough.
♥ ♥ ♥
I don't care for him at all, but regardless, he is the president and I think he should be shown respect. I agree witha pp that stuff like that says more about the person who purchased it than the president.
Mommy to Ty our medical monkey!
Come on over, Brits. The evil side is fun.
I agree with Triscuit. I'm of the mind that if (general) you can't discuss actual issues and resort to personal insults (or what you perceive to be insults) then that says more about you than me.
Lolo K.
Totally agree, but that is mild compared to the people who are drawing parallels between Obama and Hitler. It denigrates and disrespects the memory of 10 million innocent victims of the Holocaust to compare their mass murderer to an American politician with whom one happens to disagree.
O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
I hate that on either side. Say what you will during the debates - whatever. Once he's elected as President, however, he demands respect regardless of your beliefs. I don't care if he's republican, democrat, green party, black, blue, yellow or sideways - he is the president. The office demands respect.
The eyes can mislead, a smile can lie, but shoes always tell the truth.
I hate that too. Once someone is elected president of our country, we should support and respect them. You can disagree with someone and still show respect to them, but it doesn't happen often in politics.
I agree that says more about the person who bought that bumper sticker. He is the president of our country. Debate his policies. Disagree with his views. But blatantly disrespecting him (and being racist) is just plain immature and rude.
I also agree with 2mch2do - the people that keep comparing him to Hitler REALLY bother me. I'm not a big Obama fan, either. But come on folks. Comparing Obama to Hitler seems to just be a way to bring on fear.
Mommy, WOHM, Bookworm, Coping w/ Bipolar II, Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Unfortunately, we have reached point in this country where if you talked to the driver for over an hour, you will probably find that the bumper sticker is the depth of his political philosophy.
And it's that way from all points of view. Bush was constantly compared to Hitler too.
No reward is worth this - Han Solo

No Antidote for Carmona
Fausto Carmona threw six innings of two-hit shutout ball and Austin Kearns reached base three times and scored two runs, leading the Cleveland Indians to 9-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Cactus League action at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park this afternoon in warm & sunny Mesa.
Battling for a spot in the Cubs starting rotation, Jeff Samardzija got the start and worked four innings (63 pitches - 41 strikes, 4/4 GO/FO), allowing two earned runs on four hits (two doubles and two singles) and two walks, while striking out four (Mark Grudzielanek, Jhonny Peralta, Chris Gimenez, and Mike Redmond).
Samardzija looked OK (not great), but better than he has at any time previously this Spring. Jeff Baker made an outstanding leaping catch in the 3rd to prevent a double that would have made The Shark's day a lot worse, but the inning before Samardzija was the victim of some shaky Cubs defense and a mental error that led to a run.
Austin Kearns led-off the top of the 2nd with a double, and then Derrek Lee fielded a chopper and made an inadvisable throw trying to cut down Kearns at 3rd base instead of taking the easy out at 1st, putting runners at 1st & 3rd with no outs. 2nd baseman Bobby Scales then made a terrible relay throw on what should have been an easy 6-4-3 DP, and the Indians scored their first run of the day, although it was an earned run because no official errors were charged.
The Indians scored their second run of Samardzija in the third, when Anderson Hernandez led-off with a single and stole 2nd (Samardzija did a poor job of holding baserunners today). Then after Samardzija got a couple of outs (one being the spectacular Baker catch) and was on the verge of getting out of the inning, Jhonny Peralta ripped an RBI single to drive-in Hernandez from 2nd base.
John Grabow came into the game in the 5th, and could not finish the inning. He threw 25 pitches (16 strikes), allowing two unearned runs (thanks to a fielding error by third-baseman Baker that kept the inning alive, allowing the Indians to string together three hits and two runs off Grabow when the lefty should have been out of the inning).
RHP Jeff Stevens and Blake Parker were both brought up from Minor League Camp for today's game (possibly to be showcased for the Toronto Blue Jays?), and Stevens was brought into the game with two outs and the bases loaded in the 5th, getting the final out (and stranding all three inherited runners in the process) on a line-drive to shortstop. But then the Indians did score a run off Stevens in the 6th, as Brian Bixler crushed a lead-off triple, and--after Stevens got two pop-ups and (like Samardzija earlier in the game) appeared on the verge of getting out of the inning unharmed--Matt LaPorta laced an RBI single past Ryan Theriot. Stevens threw 1.1 IP (21 pitches - 15 strikes), allowing the one run on two hits.
Blake Parker was better, throwing a 1-2-3 7th (14 pitches - 9 strikes), coming back from a 3-0 count to strike out Jose Constanza for the 3rd out of inning.
Rule 5 pick Mike Parisi entered the game in the 8th, and was terrible, failing to retire a hitter and having all kinds of trouble throwing strikes (17 pitches - only five strikes). Parisi allowed a lead-off line double to Chris Gimenez, then walked Brian Bixler and Anderson Hernandez to load the bases, before uncorking a wild pitch and hitting Matt McBride with a pitch.
Even though he is a Rule 5 pick and would have to be offered back to the St. Louis Cardinals if the Cubs decide not to keep him on their 25-man roster, Parisi is not guaranteed a roster spot. Unlike David Patton--who was selected by the Cubs in the December 2008 Rule 5 Draft as more of a "long term investment"--Parisi has two full years of AAA experience (249 AAA IP 2007-08) as well as 12 MLB games under his belt, so he was drafted by the Cubs as an "MLB-ready" guy. While Parisi did have Tommy John Surgery post-2008 and missed most of the 2009 season, he pitched very well as a rotation starter in the Arizona Fall League post-2009 and has had no arm problems so far this Spring. But I would say he is in big trouble right now.
Justin Berg was brought into the game in relief of Parisi with no outs and the bases-loaded, and proceeded to allow all three inherited runners to score (one on a 6-3 ground out and another on a Donnie Webb two-out, two-strike, two-run RBI triple), although he himself was not charged with any runs. Berg does throw strikes (18 pitches - 14 strikes today), but he pitches to contact and doesn't miss a lot bats, so he is less likely than a "strikeout pitcher" to strand inherited runners.
RHP (and ex-catcher) Jake Muyco was brought up from Minor League Camp and tossed a 1-2-3 eight-pitch 9th.
Other than Alfonso Soriano, the Cubs could do nothing with Fausto Carmona today (Soriano, rapped a two-out single in the 2nd and a one-out double the 5th, but was left stranded both times), as Carmona retired 12 of the first 13 men he faced.
And the Cubs in fact remained scoreless until the bottom of the 9th (they couldn't do anything with Jamey Wright or Saul Rivera, either), as Kosuke Fukudome reached base on an E-6 (errant throw) and advanced to third on a James Adduci double into the LF-CF gap with one out, before both scored with two outs on a two-strike two-run RBI ground single into RF (off LHRP Rafael Perez) by Micah Hoffpauir, who--after being in an ice-cold slump for most of Spring Training--has started hitting the crap out of the ball the last few days.
Xavier Nady in particular had a bad day at the plate, going 0-4 with a ground out, a pop out in foul territory, and two strike outs (both swinging, the last one with one out and runners at 2nd & 3rd).
Andres Blanco returned to game action today after missing the last two weeks with a sprained knee, and made two nice defensive plays, one ranging far to his left to capture a ground ball and throwing out a batter 6-3, and the other ranging far to his right and making a fine running catch in foul territiory.
The Cubs travel to Surprise tomorrow to play the Kansas City Royals.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Thanks PHIL.
Are there days when the club, other than folks really fighting for a job, just "mail it in" out there?
Also, what do you think is up with Grabow? Is he hurt? Putting in extra time with coaches? He is supposed to be our "lock-down" LH out of the pen?
Finally, do you really believe that Lou will want to have BOTH Millar and Tracy on the bench?
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
What does it say about the Cubs that they are counting on a guy (Baker) to be their super-sub (a poor man's DeRosa), who other teams likely wouldn't even claim off waivers? It's pretty sad...
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
I suppose that depends upon your definition of supersub. If you define it as being able to substitute at a number of positionswithout embarrasing himself defensively, then Baker, Fontenot or for that matter Tracy and Blanco can be called supersubs. If instead you define it as a substitute that is good enough to be a starter at a number of positions as DeRosa was, than no one on the team is a supersub, and most teams in the majors have no supersub.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Yep, DeRosa (currently a starting 3B) is a SUPERSUB. Baker sure isn't. We used to call marginal players that could play multiple positions UTILITYMEN.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Thanks AZ PHIL.
The scenarios you detail are quite complex, and based on the body of Jim Hendry work, I am not terribly optimistic.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
"If the Cubs want somebody who can platoon with Byrd AND replace Soriano in the late innings when the Cubs are ahead, then it's probably Colvin."
I certainly agree that Colvin is more likely than Fuld or Adduci to appear on a lineup card at the start of a game; but I see him replacing Soriano or Fukudome, not Byrd.
I just don't think the Cubs like Fukudome at all, which is why they've hired replacements for him the past two seasons. The current replacement is rehabbing his right arm. That's Colvin's opening.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
A platoon partner is a replacement? And who was Fukudome's replacement signing prior to the 2009 season?
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
1) You're dreaming if you think Nady is only going to play once or twice a week, against lefthanders.
2) Fukudome was signed in '08 as a rightfielder, then replaced in '09. He slid over to center, where the offensive expectations are smaller. Where is he now?
The Cubs have to be careful what they say about their expensive mistakes, but we don't.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
2) I don't think it's fair to say that when Jim Edmonds wasn't resigned and Bradley was added to the roster, that Fukudome was replaced. Normally if one is moved from RF to CF we'd say that they believed in his defense or were making use of his versatility to adapt to the free agent market.
1) It's not even likely to be a straight-up platoon with Nady until he can throw, and we don't know when that will be. He may also get starts in LF and at 1B, depending upon the health and performance of Soriano, Lee, Fukudome, and perhaps even Byrd (Fukudome could end up shifting back to CF). Even if they split time 50-50 in RF, that's not being replaced.
I do agree that Fukudome is the most likely starting outfielder to be traded, followed by Byrd, but only because their contracts are more tradeable than Soriano's, especially if they perform.
Not here to defend Fukudome, really--I just don't think that it's fair to say that he's been replaced.
If the Cubs want to open a spot for Colvin in 2011, Lee will be off the books unless they resign him. That opens up some other possibilities as well. Although unless they plan to move Soriano there, it would be smart to find room for Colvin by trading an outfielder than by putting up with a mediocre 1B in a big market. If Colvin makes it to the bigs as a starting/platoon player with the Cubs in 2010, it's likely to be because someone doesn't perform or is hurt, and of course because Colvin produces at AAA.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Since they got a first-hand look at Fukudome in 2008, the Cubs have signed three veteran free-agent outfielders, one to play center and two in right. That's what they think of Fukudome. We'll see how many games he starts this year. Maybe I missed it, but I haven't heard Lou use the word "platoon."
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
according to len/bob on the CSN replay on MLB Network...soriano's been seeing almost nothing but offspeed stuff this ST from pitchers.
either they feel more comfortable trying/warming the offspeed stuff on him or people are just gonna quit throwing the guy fastballs.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Why would you throw him a fastball?
Len also said Rudy help Sori's swing and stance because Sori made changes due to injuries.
I would have his eyes check.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
granted...i've only seen him in 3 games this ST (all televised), but he does look like he's trying to make more contact without swinging hard as hell.
still...it's not like he's looking like ichiro or something out there with his bat.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Well, he is 11 for 33 so far. If he can hit .333 off of almost all breaking balls then I am encouraged.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
"Why would you throw him a fastball?"
No doubt.
Sori goes through streaks where he clobbers everything in sight. He's capable of carrying an entire team for 1-2 weeks. The problem is he didn't have any such streaks like that last year that I can remember. It was a bad slump at the wrong time.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
He had streaks in April 284/364/591 (7 HR) and July 345/409/583 (5 HR), but otherwise he sucked.
Arizona Phil--thank you as always for your updates. I don't comment much, but I always make sure to catch your posts for the great information.
Regarding today, did you happen to catch any of Ted Lilly's simulated game?
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
I am wondering if the Cardinals will even take Parisi back at this point.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
It is not really too comforting knowing that Samardzjia and Silva are fighting for the last starter's job. Samardzjia has yet to show that he can handle the role at this level. He is signed through next season and has club options for '12 and '13. Based on his pitching rep, he is better suited for the bullpen. Then again, I understand the reluctance to put him in the bullpen. Very expensive bullpen pitcher who posesses a no trade clause with a rookie contract.
At least in the rotation he can only screw up every fifth game. You know, y'all just had to get rid of Marquis... .500 wpct wasn't good enough for you for a #5 starter...
Say what you want about the guy, but he always took the ball, usually pitched deep into a game, and sometimes even gave you a good game.
Re: Notre Dame Wide-Out
I am sticking with my call that unfortunately, Samardzjia will be a bust.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Okay, okay. I'm writing it down and sticking it to my fridge, E-Man.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
lol. thanks.
Be sure to call me out on it if he wins the Cy Young. I will not hide.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
I have to agree with you. And to answer Ryno, I do not want this guy on the roster at all, even with the lack of pitching depth. This is even more reason why the Cubs need to make a trade.
"He threw the ball really, really well," Hendry said.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
the real quote:
"Really, he threw the ball really really well, it was almost unreal"
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
It was a simulated game, which means it was from a mound.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
yes, neal. Obviously. And these were simulated quotes.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Was he able to throw a towel curve? See you in July, sucka.
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
The Tribune Cubs recap today says that Berg "continued to impress" with a scoreless inning. I guess Sullivan can't be bothered to pay attention to the games and just looks at the box score to write his recap. Sheesh.
He's too busy chasing the Mariners down for Milton Bradley interviews to do what he's paid to do.
Luckily we here at TCR have AZ Phil and various other fans who can actually watch and report on games for free.

the ground was really flat and he's really really ahead of our realistic expectations, obviously.

Re: No Antidote for Carmona
I've been enjoying the series, but how do the Cubs finish behind the Mets?
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
not sure what exactly their rankings are based on, seems to include revenue, how they use the revenue, GM, talent, etc...
The Mets will get more out of their core of Wright, Reyes, Santana, Beltran than the Cubs (most likely) over the next few years. I'm also guessing it's really close between the two.
It's Supposed to be fun
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
Re: No Antidote for Carmona
a 3m contract on waivers...must be nice having a 200m payroll...i mean, a brilliant GM who understands tactical moves...
...nah, i mean a 200m payroll =p
at least it's a non-guaranteed contract.

Re: No Antidote for Carmona
So you mentioned Parker being showcased for Toronoto possibly. Do you think there is a trade in the works?

I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.
I hope the D and bullpen show up. Cubs haven't had much luck against Davies, and he's been going well lately. A little uncomfortable with the Cards only 6.5 back--feels like they're right on our tails compared to the 11 game lead I've grown accustomed to.
Cardinals, stop that. Right now.
In a year or two, a lot of fans are going to point at trading him as a mistake. He'll probably be slashing something like 280/400/480 for Seattle at the time. Of course, by WAR, he'll still be worth less than 3, since we're talking zero defensive value.
vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd.
while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.
Carl Jr.! Very nice!
Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.
m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning.
...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.
I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.
2nd at bat. Fowler is good for the Cubs run differential.
welcome back fowler.
More slow news...
Did Davey Martinez have to bring the shotgun?
glad to see almora going to AAA to get work.
.265/.291/.422 through 86PA...2hr, 7 doubles.
i don't expect too much of an improvement when he's taking over CF next year, but the team doesn't really need him right now as much as they need him to get regular work (imo).
CHITOWNMVP01: The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) has had one slot open since 7/6 (when RHRP Joel Peralta was Designated for Assignment).
The problem with the September roster is all of the pitching changes. They should find a way to limit pitchers to twelve except for extra inning games. More pinch hitters or pinch runners do little to slow the game down and are more fun than endless calls to the bullpen. I also think the fans get cheated when they use position players to pitch because employed a half dozen pitchers with righty-lefty switches. Having as few as four positions players on the bench to start a game also leads to some pretty ugly defensive substitutions.
CHITOWNMVP01: Joe Nathan's 30-day Article XIX-C minor league rehab assignment expires tomorrow, but he doesn't have to be reinstated from the 60-day DL tomorrow.
Also, I think 40 man roster should be full, not at 39, unless I counted wrong. I'm in a hurry to leave the house.

When you're searching for a loan, one of the aboriginal issues you'll allegation to adjudge is whether it should be anchored or unsecured. The accommodation is hardly aboveboard so actuality are a few pointers.
Before we start, it's important for you to acquire the aberration amid the two sorts of loan.
With anchored loans, you accede to acquiesce the lender to annals a acknowledged allegation on your acreage at the Land Registry. As a lot of homeowners already acquire a mortgage that's anchored by a aboriginal allegation on your home, the accommodation aggregation has to accede to yield a allegation that ranks abaft the aboriginal charge. Then, if you awash your house, your adviser would firstly accord your outstanding mortgage and again the butt is acclimated to accord the additional allegation (and any added registered charges). Alone if the adviser has repaid all the registered charges, do you acquire the blow of the auction proceeds.
The a lot of important point you acquire to acquire about any anchored borrowing, is that if you absence on the repayments, again the lender will automatically acquire the appropriate to administer to the Courts to reclaim your home and advertise it to balance the money they are owed. Therefore, you allegation to anxiously accede the amount afore you accede to such a charge. If you are in any doubt, argue your adviser or banking adviser.
Unsecured loans are different. You don't accommodate any aegis to the lender. As such, the lender angle the accommodation as a added chancy adventure as the lender has no automated avenue to get aback what it is owed.
Therefore you'll appreciate, that if you're not a homeowner you don't acquire to adjudge amid a anchored or apart loan. As you acquire no acreage to defended the loan, you can alone administer for an apart loan.
Unsecured loans are commonly accessible from £500 up to £15,000 (sometimes £25,000), and the claim aeon can amplitude from 3 to 12 years. As these loans are added chancy for the accommodation company, again on a like for like basis, they allegation a college amount of absorption for an apart accommodation compared to a anchored loan. Absorption amount premiums of amid 1% and 3% absolutely accepted and if you acquire a abominably broken acclaim record, your appliance may able-bodied be declined.
As you would expect, lenders are far added airy if you accede to accommodate security. Typically the amounts you can borrow ambit from £5,000 to £75,000, and sometimes even more. And they'll acquiesce you to advance your repayments over a best aeon – 12, 15, 20 and 25 years are common. The best is castigation although to minimise your account repayment, you'll allegation to acquire the longest claim aeon you can. The absorption amount you're answerable will again depend on your acclaim rating.
In today's bazaar if you acquire a acceptable acclaim record, the best Internet accommodation amount you'll acquisition will be about 5.8% – but it can be as top as 17% to 20% if you acquire actual astringent acclaim problems. These canicule about bisected of all homeowners acquire some anatomy of crime on their acclaim record. This agency that even if they capital an apart accommodation they may able-bodied be declined. In these circumstances, a anchored accommodation will be the alone advantage accessible and even then, they will not authorize for the everyman absorption rates.
Now your aptitude will acquaint you to boutique about for the cheapest accord – but that's not a acceptable idea! The botheration is that if accomplish a amount of applications, you'll in fact end up damaging your acclaim rating. That's because anniversary of your applications is recorded by the big acclaim agencies such as Experian and the added applications they record, the lower your acclaim appraisement becomes. As a aftereffect anniversary alternating citation will tend to become poorer and poorer and in the end all you'll get is absolute refusals. Not alone that, but your damaged acclaim account could abide with you for several years authoritative your banking activity added difficult.
So what's the solution? Generally, your best bet is to use a specialist accommodation broker. They apperceive all the lending institutions and afterwards chatting with you on the buzz they'll apperceive which lender is a lot of acceptable to acquire your appliance and action you the best accessible absorption rate. Thereby, you abstain authoritative assorted accommodation applications, bottle you acclaim almanac and should be assured a acceptable deal.
And area can you acquisition these specialised accommodation brokers? Online of course! Simply access "secured loan" in your favourite seek engine and you'll acquisition lots to acquire from.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with WooCommerce itself or because I used the CSV Importer/Exporter to install some products, but I can't figure out the problem.
I have many main categories and subcategories. Most work correctly, but a 4 out of 224 don't. In these 4, they do not show up on the website even though those subcategories are published, have the EXACT same properties as all other subcategories, and have many published products in them.
