- Fan Blog: That pesky Joe Crede trade rumor
Chicago Sun-Times speculates Giants would trade for third basemen
See if this sounds familiar.
The Giants lavish a record-breaking contract on the game's best hitter. They ignore murmurs that he doesn't get along with teammates. They build their entire franchise plan around him. And they stay wedded to him past his prime, determined to watch him break the all-time home run record while wearing their uniform.
Barry Bonds is on his way out of San Francisco. Could Alex Rodriguez be on the way in?
There's no better time to ask the question than right now. The two men, and perhaps the Giants' present and future, will intersect today when Rodriguez and the New York Yankees arrive at AT&T Park for a rare interleague series.
"I consider him the best in the game," Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel said. "In the 20 years I've been around baseball, I don't think I've seen a player as complete as him except Ken Griffey Jr. before he started getting hurt. He's going to do some amazing things."
But for what team? Rodriguez can void the final three years and $72 million on his contract this winter. Given his MVP numbers this year (he leads the majors in runs, home runs and RBIs), some agents believe Rodriguez will get a new deal worth more than $30 million per season, and for perhaps as many as eight years.
The dollars are dizzying, but the Giants have spun this wheel before. They charted the course for their franchise in 1993, when they gave Bonds $43.75 million over six years - the biggest contract the game had seen.
While it's easy to bash the Giants for their strategy of building around one megastar, it worked pretty well before Bonds turned 40. The Giants posted eight consecutive winning seasons from 1997-2004, winning three division titles and advancing to the World Series as the wild card entrant in '02.
This probably will be the winter the Giants usher Bonds out of the theater, and as luck would have it, Rodriguez is poised for a remake of "Escape from New York."
The Giants need a new offensive centerpiece, and with Vizquel and third baseman Pedro Feliz about to hit free agency, they could let Rodriguez pick where he wants to play.
The Giants warmed up to Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, last winter when they made Barry Zito the priciest pitcher in history for $126 million over seven years.
But if the Giants made a splash with Zito, signing Rodriguez would be a full cannonball.
Boras could ask for even more than $30 million a year. A few months ago, the agent pointed out to the Associated Press that because Rodriguez signed his still-biggest-ever $252 million contract with Texas in 2001, baseball's revenues have doubled to $6 billion per year.
Despite more controversy in New York, including a New York Post photo spread showing him getting into a hotel elevator with a woman who wasn't his wife, Rodriguez has re-established himself as the game's best player.
Bonds might be seven home runs away from tying Hank Aaron's all-time record of 755, but several of his teammates believe the Giants star won't be the home run king as much as its steward. Rodriguez will probably pass them all.
`He's the guy to do it," Giants catcher Bengie Molina said. "Consistency, that's the word. He doesn't get hurt, he plays the game hard, he plays the game right and he comes out every single year to be the best player out there."
Said Zito: "For sure. If he stays healthy, he's going to do some incredible things, and he already has."
Bonds agrees, too. In April, he said he would cheer for Rodriguez to break every home run record.
"Hell, yeah," Bonds said. "Because, man, that's what the game's about. It's exciting and it brings people to the stadium. Somebody else does it, that's awesome. Go on, A-Rod, do your damn thing. I don't care what anybody says. Keep that look in your eye, because it's solid."
Rodriguez enters the series with 491 home runs and could join the 500 club before he turns 32 on July 27. Jimmie Foxx ranks as the youngest player to hit 500 homers, at 32 years and 338 days old. Bonds was 36 years and 269 days old.
Rodriguez has averaged 41.7 home runs over the past 11 seasons. Beginning this year, it would take hitting an average of 42 home runs over eight years to achieve 800 career homers.
Rodriguez has a chance to set all-time records because he started producing at a high level at a young age. Nobody knows that better than Vizquel, who was with the Seattle Mariners a year before Rodriguez made his debut with them as an 18-year-old in 1994.
"He didn't look like he was whatever age he was," Vizquel said. "He looked already like a mature, 26-year-old baseball player when he came to Seattle and took my job."
What are the odds it could happen again?

Just how much did the commissioners of the SEC and Big 12 know prior to their joint announcement of their new Champions Bowl?
For that matter to what degree did the two 'power' conferences influence their counterparts in the Big 10 and Pac 12 to go along with the newly agreed upon National Championship Series?
Inquiring minds would like to know the answer to these and other questions and local college football fans will get an opportunity to inquire about those, as well as ask other questions, when West Virginia University Director of Athletics Oliver Luck returns to the Mid-Ohio Valley to serve as a guest speaker for the Riverhawk Athletic Clubs.
The event, slated to begin at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 13, will take place at the WVU-Parkersburg Activities Center.
In addition to being a wonderful opportunity to financially support a number of local athletes, the event also will allow those wanting to know the ins and outs of the events that led up to WVU's joining the Big 12 as well as the development of the Champions Bowl and NCS to get those answers from someone in the know.
And, do not kid yourself, if there is one thing that I have discovered during prior discussions with WVU's 11th A.D. is that this guy has been more than (forgive the pun) lucky with the decisions he has had to make during his first 24 months at the helm of the program.
Luck, like his predecessor Eddie Pastilong, has been on an unbelievable roll since taking over the reigns of his alma mater on June 9, 2010.
Forget, for a moment, his coaching hires and even his decision to allow beer sales at Mountaineer Field in order to increase revenues that would help in funding the many non-revenue sports offered by the university. His biggest coup to date has to be getting the old gold and blue into a Big 12 Cconference that appeared to be on life-support at one time only to make a remarkable recovery by tying itself into a multi-million dollar deal with the SEC.
Yes, the bar has been raised as far as the level of football competition, although, lost in all of the realignment discussion, WVU holds a 9-2 mark against the teams that make up its newest conference affiliation.
No, it won't be easy. I can remember fans across the Mountain State expressing their concerns when the Mountaineers celebrated their 100th year of playing football by joining a Big East conference that included Miami (Fla.) as well as Virginia Tech.
The first two seasons were not pretty as WVU struggled to post a 3-4 and 2-3-1 marks, but that all changed with the Don Nehlen-led Mountaineers posted a perfect 7-0 mark in conference play in 1993, capturing the Lambert Trophy in the process.
As I found out growing up nothing worth having is going to be given away.
That might explain why I am so impressed with the job Luck has done and will be there on Friday night in hopes of discovering his plans for WVU's future.

SN65 (es-en-siks-ti-fiv), n., a car, comprised of 1965 Mustang fastback styling, and propelled by 2003 SVT Cobra technology, and meant for traveling on streets, roads, highways, race tracks and road courses
You enter the show and are amazed by the cars on display. As you walk the floor, a flash of yellow catches your eye. You turn around and see what, at first glance, looks like a tastefully modified 65 fastback. You recognize the clean classic lines, but somehow, this car is different. You cant put your finger on it, so you come for a closer look. What you find is something unique.
As you casually look over the car you immediately notice the Flawless bodywork lovingly enveloped with 05 Ford Mustang Screaming Yellow paint. The car looks different, but you cant quite put your finger on it. As you walk around the car, you are struck by the stance. The car is low, aggressive, and almost sinister in appearance. More and more details start to register. The flared fenders and quarter panels. The subtle air intake located in the lower valance. The shaved drip rails. Etc...
As you direct your attention to the engine bay you expect to see the typical 302 or 351. Instead you find a blown 4.6 Cobra engine with updated mechanical and electrical systems throughout (including AC, hydro-boost power steering and breaks, ABS, traction control, etc
). As you closely examine the engine bay you cant help but notice how clean the installation is. All the wiring harnesses and plumbing runs look as if they were fabricated and installed at the factory. Also, you notice that the car still has shock towers, but they are different than those found in your typical 65 and these are toped by caster camber plates usually found on MacPherson strut front suspensions.
Your curiosity gets the best of you and you look under the car. There you see the rack and pinion system as well as the independent rear suspension, dual exhaust with catalytic converters, 03 gas tank, etc... As you cast your eyes from front to back you realize that the entire car (at least from underneath that is) looks just like a brand new 03 Cobra.
Looking to the interior you find a beautiful blend of the past and the present. The 65 doors and rear surround have been painted and upholstered to match the color and texture of the 03 cobra dash and center console. All the current safety features (air bags, etc
) and electronics have been retained. As with the rest of the car, everything looks as if it were fabricated and installed at the factory.
Your mind races as you start to soak it all in. What the??? How did they???
Julian's Collision Center is the shop responsible for the above text and for creating the amazing SN65 Project car, an splendid mix of Classic looks and Modern Mustang technology. You can find more info at www.SN65.com

You know why being in love even exists? Because without the temporary insanity it provides no couple would ever commit financially to living together and they certainly wouldn't ever have any kids.
Living alone has good and bad points, as does cohabiting. You pick the least worst!
This is what happens. Well, if this happened it would not be so bad.

There are many different tantric practices that aren't explicitly sexual; rather, they focus on things like internal energy. During intense arousal or orgasm, a person can reach a mental state that is very still with an effect similar to that of meditation. By extending your lovemaking long enough to stimulate erogenous zones, areas of the body that are most receptive to erotic touch, you bring energy into them, thus generating a highly charged physical response. This is where Advanced Tantric Sex Secrets comes in...
Advanced Tantric Sex Secrets is an adult educational video that is part of the Loving Sex Series created by the Alexander Institute. It is presented in the form of a very intimate couple's tantric sex class. The hosts direct the students in the practice of tantric techniques and provide commentary and guidance throughout the show's duration.
The topic begins with 'Key Concepts in Tantric Lovemaking' and follows with a thorough analysis of the 3 categories of erogenous zones … primary, secondary and tertiary. Once each group of highly sensitive body parts is explored, they jump to 'Putting the Practice Together', where the couples are given sequences of erogenous zones to excite. 'Positions for Tantric Sex' examines two classic female-dominant sexual positions that can rouse incredible erotic energy. The video ends with 'Concluding Thoughts', where the couples share their experience of practicing tantric sex.
Presentation (8.5/10)
Mark Michaels and Patricia Dodson, the authors of the book 'The Essence of Tantric Sensuality', host the video. Their book is an in-depth examination of Tantric philosophy; it's was a winner in the Health: Sexuality category of the National Best Books 2007 Awards, as well as a finalist in the Eastern Religions category of the same contest.
The segment of tantric sex principles that that they focus on is specific and instructive enough in order to give a viewer a good set of tools to work with. I often see instructional videos that are too broad and don't give enough range of skills to practice within a particular category. This presentation did a good job of balancing the right amount of detail to communicate.
Advanced Tantric Sex Secrets is explicit yet tasteful. I say tasteful not because it avoids showing too much; rather it displays a lot of eroticism in the way it pays careful attention to the profound intensity that can be reached. They set aside enough time to clearly demonstrate how to perform each skill – it doesn't seem like the couple are rushed or uncomfortable and they appear to be very genuine in wanting to please one another.
Content Quality (9/10)
Advanced Tantric Sex Secrets would be well received well by a diverse range of viewers because it combines candid coaching with energetically charged sexual scenes. There is a lot that people can pick up from this production, whether they are clueless or curious, or even already very capable at passionate lovemaking.
An average person would feel confident about trying and even integrating this information into their regular sexual practice. Whether you're inspired to try stimulating a particular erogenous zone or launch into some of the more complex zone patterns that they include, you'll certainly walk away from this video with a new sense of awareness and admiration for the level of consciousness that can be reached through sex.
Sex Appeal (8.5/10)
I met up with some girlfriends for some wine and chit chat and decided to bring along some of the adult videos I needed to review. It was so entertaining to hear their diverse opinions but there was one thing that everyone agreed to hands down; this video was by far the hottest one. There we all were, heads cocked to one side murmuring 'whoa' and 'hot' in fascinated rapture, while our wine glasses drained increasingly quickly.
This video is very realistic and extremely sensual. The couples seem like they are genuinely getting turned on and make sincere efforts to pleasure one another. What really made it sexy was that you got to see their slow sensual progression with each part of the body and you could sense the anticipation build up not only in the actors, but yourself too! You will definitely want to replay and refer back to Advanced Tantric Sex Secrets.
Video Quality (7.5/10)
The video quality is reasonable. The participants are always in the shot and they make use of different camera angles. The filming doesn't overly favour copulation shots to the actual joining of the couple, which is often the case with many porn movies. You can still see, for example, how the demonstrators perform fellatio on one another, but it is important to include the participants' responses to the stimulus.
Audio Quality (7/10)
The music is the signature Alexander Institute sound, which is similar to a single guitar, strumming slowly. It was used to transition to different segments and as a background for some of the voiceovers. I love that you could hear the moans and the slight intakes of breath that the actors make because it really adds to the overall sensuality of the presentation. The audio quality was fair but certain scenes sounded a bit tinny; fortunately, it was quite subtle.
Extra Features (5.5/10)
The extra features are the standard ones that are included in the Loving Sex productions: tips from a sex coach, general sexuality information and web links. There are previews available for all of the Loving Sex productions as well as a bonus scene. The bonus feature is a 15 minute scene from "Ultimate Massage", which features a British lady giving her male partner a genital massage. It seems like it isn't a very new production and, frankly, is a bit cheesy. However, the scene has good material showing how to lead in from a massage to a hand job.
Overall Score (7.7/10)
This is one of my favorite adult educational videos to date. It's got the right mix of information, sensuality and impact. Although the extra features and audio/video quality didn't blow me away, the content and genuineness made up for it many times over.

San Diego County roundup: Slaughter granted $1M policy
San Diego State forward Marcus Slaughter has been granted a $1 million disability policy under the NCAA Exceptional Student-Athlete Disability Insurance Program, the basketball player and his father said Wednesday.
The policy with Hartford Life Insurance Co. guards against any serious injury that might affect Slaughter's future earnings. According to the NCAA, only basketball players who have demonstrated professional potential and are projected to be a future first-round NBA draft pick are eligible to participate in the program.
Slaughter, who has two seasons of college eligibility remaining, has applied for June's NBA Draft. He's expecting that he'll receive an invitation to next month's prestigious NBA predraft camp in Chicago.
The $6,000 premium is paid for by the NCAA. Slaughter would be required to reimburse the NCAA if he signs an NBA contract.
"They did their research and saw that he'll be a first-round draft pick either this year or next year," said Dwight Slaughter, Marcus' father.
The Slaughter family learned that Marcus had been granted the policy via a letter from Michael Thompson of ASU International L.L.C., the firm that oversees the NCAA Exceptional Student-Athlete Disability Insurance Program.
Once the San Diego State semester ends in two weeks, Marcus Slaughter will participate in two weeks of workouts with other potential NBA draft picks in Santa Monica. He reiterated Wednesday that he plans to be wearing an NBA jersey next season.
Slaughter has until June 21 to pull his name from consideration. The draft is June 28.
"I'll go through the process and the interviews and see what they say," said Slaughter, a second-team All-Mountain West Conference pick last season. "If they say first round, I'll leave. If they second round, I'll come back to San Diego State."
Slaughter's name doesn't appear in the latest 2005 mock draft published by nbadraft.net. However, the Web site has Slaughter going 25th overall in its 2006 mock draft.

Scaglione honored
Oklahoma's Heather Scaglione, a former Rancho Bernardo High standout, was named first-team All-Big 12 in softball. The senior catcher also was named the conference's defensive player of the year for the second straight season.

WATERTOWN TWP.-Tucked in the middle of a field in Watertown Township with corn stalks reaching for the sky, is the grave of a one-time slave who become legendary for living 125 years.
Micajah "Cajoe" Phillips is buried along with two of seven of his wives, Binah and Anne, at a grave site off Buchanan Road in Watertown Township.
Currently, there is nothing enclosing the area but that will soon change, according to Jean Yost, president of the Marietta Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
"The tentative plan is to have a joint ceremony between the (Lower Muskingum) Historical Society, the (Marietta Chapters of the SAR and Daughters of the American Revolution) and other groups and the plans are to install a new wrought iron fence in October and have a ceremony in November when the corn is out of the field," said Jean Yost, noting that the fence is necessary because the grave site needs to be protected.
Phillips was born in 1736 in Virginia - although the year he was actually born is up for debate - and he died in 1861.
Phillips' life was recorded through census reports, newspaper articles, real
estate deeds and other records. Different sources recorded his age at death as 81, 115 and 125, with the latter being the most widely believed.
"He was purchased by Harman Blennerhassett sometime around 1790 and brought over here to the (Blennerhassett) Island (in Parkersburg) where his job was running Blennerhassett's guests back and forth between the mainland and island," said local historian Henry Burke.
In 1806, Blennerhassett, who was a wealthy Irish immigrant, was introduced to Aaron Burr, the former vice-president of the United States, known for killing the first secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton.
In a plan known as the "Burr Conspiracy," Blennerhassett loaned Burr money so Burr could carry out a plan to take over some Spanish territory and start his own republic.
"The big story was Blennerhassett and Aaron Burr were detained by the federal government on conspiracy charges and Blennerhassett was held in Richmond (Va.) for 50 some odd days and while he was over there his mansion burned - his wife (Margaret) fled the island and (so did) the slaves," Burke said.
After fleeing life as a slave, Phillips lived for a while in Marietta before moving to Waterford in about 1815, where he acquired a small farm and began working with the Muskingum River Underground Railroad line.
His original grave had to be replaced nearly 30 years ago.
"Cajoe had a tombstone but it was probably hand cut so it was badly deteriorated," explained Phillip Crane, a member of the Lower Muskingum Historical Society. "In 1983, (professor) Richard Walker took it upon himself and (took on) the expense of having a new monument put at his grave site."
Walker is from Stockport but currently lives in Springfield, Ill.
Crane said once the fence is installed at the grave site, officials with the Lower Muskingum Historical Society will likely maintain the site.

The health and livelihoods of Rwandans have greatly improved over the last decade. Men, women and children enjoy better access to lifesaving health services, and indicators point to significant improvements over the past five years.
Despite this progress, Rwanda has some significant health challenges: one child in 18 dies by age 5. Forty-four percent of children suffer from chronic malnutrition and eleven percent of children are underweight. The fertility rate in Rwanda remains high at 4.6 children per woman and maternal mortality is unacceptably high at 487/100,000 births. Rwanda also faces a complex HIV/AIDS epidemic, with a prevalence of 3 percent among the general population but as high as 50 percent among the most at-risk populations.
USAID supports the Government of Rwanda's initiatives to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis; increase the quality and use of family planning and reproductive health services; improve maternal newborn and child health; and strengthen the overall health sector.
Through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, USAID supports prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV; voluntary counseling and testing; care and treatment; psycho-social and other support services for people living with HIV/AIDS, orphans and other vulnerable children; and strengthening the health system. The United States is the leading donor of bilateral HIV/AIDS assistance to Rwanda.
Infectious Diseases
Rwanda is a focus of the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI). Through PMI, USAID supports the Government of Rwanda with a comprehensive approach to prevent and treat malaria, supporting four key areas: spraying homes with insecticides, distributing long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets, providing essential antimalarial drugs, and managing malaria cases. In 2014, an estimated 250,000 homes will be sprayed and PMI will procure 1,400,000 nets to be distributed to vulnerable populations. USAID has supported refresher training and supervision of 355 health workers and 6,053 community health workers on the effective management of malaria at the community level.
Maternal, Child, and Reproductive Health
USAID supports communities, governments and civil society organizations in providing an integrated package of quality, high-impact maternal, neonatal and child health services in a sustainable manner, while promoting good governance and decentralized health services. Building the capacity of nurses and community health workers that deliver the first line of treatment remains a priority. USAID improves nutrition, especially among pregnant women and children under age two. USAID also supports the Government of Rwanda's national program to increase the availability of voluntary family planning and reproductive health services.
Health Systems
In addition to improving Rwandans' health and saving lives, USAID's health activities support the long-term development of the Rwandan health system. Significant support is provided through technical assistance to the Government of Rwanda for decentralization in the health sector, health policy development, strengthening healthcare financing, developing a pharmaceutical logistics system, and building capacity of service providers and systems.

Congratulations, Elizabeth! That's great news!
I GOT A JOB! I was hired on Sept. 19 by a medical association to be their staff writer covering medical-legal and policy issues. I am so happy I could bust!
Dear Over-50 people, What is wrong is that the US lacks any industrial policy worth a damn. What is also wrong is that we have banksters running and ruining everything. I have covered a few of the policies that have brought us to this point. Please do not think that because I mention Obama, that I am leaving out bad policies made by Bush and Clinton both. There have been bad decisions made about the economy since the 1970s. In the interest of brevity, I am only covering the last 30 years or so. What is really sad about the current situation is that quietly, behind the scenes, there are a lot of cheerleaders for 'THE FREE MARKET" who are gently recommending Keynesian economics again. Their problem is how to push that without admitting that they took this country on an adventure through "discredited economics 101" for the third or fourth time. That's right. We tried these same stupid policies in the past and they resulted in Depressions every time. How do I know this? I READ. Which is more than I can say for many politicians. I mention the movement to Keynes, because beyond the lovely Krugman editorial blaming the mess on the "greedy elite," there have been other signs of a sea change. Sometimes, the direction that the wind will blow can be gauged by what academics are ordering and talking about. There has been an increase in purchases of economics books on Keynes. A group that devotes itself to educating the media is going to cover the fissures in "free trade" policies over the summer. I have discovered that many economists in all walks of life are beginning to buy Keynesian books and talk about how right that he was. This includes the free tradists. KEYNES WASN'T WRONG AND HE DID NOT ADVOCATE THE HAIR-BRAINED SCHEMES THAT HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED OF LATE. For those of you who have been brainwashed about Keynes, let me tell you what he believed. He believed that the purpose of government regulation of financial industries was to keep them from going FERAL on the populace. Unlike the idiotic statements made about him by the Von Mises crowd, he did not believe in debt for debt's sake. Yes, he believed that the careful use of debt could pull a country OUT of a depression (and he was proven CORRECT on that point). HOWEVER, MUCH LIKE ME, KEYNES WOULD NEVER HAVE APPROVED OF OBAMA'S ENEMA dressed up as a "stimulus package." Appropriate use of stimulus money is as follows: it focuses the money flows INTO the working and middle classes through JOBS. It doesn't use too much money because that will cause hyperinflation. It doesn't direct that money back into government or banking BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ENTITIES THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. By carefully pushing money into the pockets of the lower and middle classes via a jobs program, an appropriate stimulus package would have begun turning the wheels of demand at the local level across the country. That would have alleviated the tax burden on the employed, kept businesses alive and allowed people to feed, house and clothe their families. BY GIVING THE MONEY TO THE BANKERS, OBAMA ACTUALLY INCREASED THE LIKELIHOOD OF HYPERINFLATION, decreased tax revenues and increased the problems for both the middle class and lower classes. He caused their money to flow out of them and towards the bankster class. THAT WAS THE ENEMA PART. What Obama actually did was much like what Bush and his nitwit father did, he transferred wealth from all the other classes to the bankster and uber rich class. They then sent that money offshore. That is why there is no money in the system (more or less). Keynes argued for keeping money in the system to prevent rapid and turbulent fluctuations of the economy. Keynes was a MACROECONOMIST RATHER THAN A MICRO-ECONOMIST LIKE THE AUSTRIANS. I strongly recommend, yet again, that those that want to understand the problems read the books that I am going to list. What we have right now are a couple of problems. One, we have a money shortage problem despite all the money being fed into the Central banks. To understand the problem, begin thinking of money as WATER. If too much water is funneled into one spot, the result is a FLOOD, right? If too much water is funneled out of a water system and into the ocean, there will be water shortages. If all the water is funneled into a giant dam that is controlled by a few landowners, there will be both shortages and water too expensive to farm with. A working system has water reaching to all the places that need it in a MEASURED MANNER so that everybody can get what they need without wastage and nobody is preventing others from getting access to the water. The water is then turned into vegetables, fish, rice, wheat, cattle flesh and other things that can be sold. Or the water is turned into electricity or becomes a power source itself and then processes grain into flour etc. THE SAME DYNAMIC HOLDS TRUE OF MONEY. PROBLEMS BEGIN WHEN MONEY IS TOO CONCENTRATED IN TOO FEW HANDS. The system begins to slow down because nobody is USING the money. It is then necessary to begin to divert the money away from those that concentrate it to those that will actually use it. Those that are spending for the necessities and some luxuries will keep the system MOVING. This is why social spending is not EVIL like everybody has been brainwashed to believe. While it is far better to create JOBS because jobs provide self-esteem as well as food, giving people money to meet their family's needs will have a POSITIVE effect on the economy. UNION JOBS ARE GOOD BECAUSE THEY DIVERT MORE OF THE OVER-CONCENTRATED MONEY from those that are hoarding it into the classes immediately above and below the union worker's pay levels. That stimulates even more sectors of the economy. WHY IS THE USA SO SCREWED UP? 1. We have killed the hen that laid the golden eggs i.e. manufacturing. Manufacturing is important because it is a convenient way of taking local resources and GETTING MONEY FOR THEM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD and bringing that money back to the local areas where the manufacturing takes place and spreading it around. 2. Selling us on the stupid idea that we could substitute good paying union manufacturing jobs for SERVICE JOBS was such a lie that I cannot begin to say enough about it. Not only do service jobs not provide enough money to stimulate the local economies sufficiently, they don't produce product that can be sold elsewhere to bring in a mixture of currencies and hence more money into the US system. Furthermore, idiots like Gates and the other high tech self-absorbed types, have sent the high paying jobs out of the country or imported programmers that they pay less. This practice has totally precluded the opportunity to use programming and other tech jobs to replace the high paying manufacturing jobs that were lost. 3. Now, while we were busy being told that cheap goods were our reward for letting manufacturing be destroyed and gutting the unions, we were compounding our problems. The money that was paid for these goods wasn't much of an offset for the tax revenues from workers and businesses that we lost. That revenue put a strain on the national and local economies across the country as well as forcing governments across the country to find new ways to get money to provide services. They raised taxes or enacted new ones on people who were already having problems due to wage stagnation and reduced job opportunities. 4. Then, as if we could not be any dumber, we began to reduce the taxes on the very people who were benefitting the most from beggaring the rest of us by stealing jobs, closing factories and NOT PAYING LOCAL TAXES ON THEIR FACTORIES OR WAGES. Both the wage savings and the higher profits from the cheap goods were going into the pockets of the executives via salary increases and bonuses. THAT'S RIGHT, THERE WAS A TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM YOU TO THEM. 5. We were sold on the entire "trickle down" idea which the people selling it and the banksters knew was utter poppycock. Nothing has been trickling down since Reagan. Nothing. Everything has been trickling up. Furthermore, because of the way that these people structure their income, they weren't being taxed that heavily to begin with. 6. Reducing tax on the very groups that were making all the money from this gigantic wealth transfer was stupid to say the least, but worse, it expedited monetary flight from the country. That further reduced the money in the system and put it in the pockets of banksters offshore where they bet against the US by financing more manufacturing overseas creating more opportunities for jobs to be lost. 7. Then, there were agencies in the US government that were actually profitable. Those were privatized taking more revenue out of the government and displacing that burden onto the citizens not at the COST OF THE SERVICES, but at an additional profit. The beauty of buying a government service is that it is mandated in many cases and a monopoly so the buyer could easily raise the rates and recoup his/her investment. However, this added to the burden of the citizens already suffering from wage stagnation and increased taxes to replace the funding already stolen by the monied classes. 8. Finally, as if there were enough stupidity to go around, the rich classes and, in particular the Foliage Family, had been stealthily buying up weapons companies for decades. They owned a bunch of them under the CARLYLE name. Their stockholders are all members of Congress and the rich folks financing the destruction of our way of life. They were well-positioned to profit from a war. 9. That's why they started all these wars. That money goes directly into their pockets. It also doesn't go back into the system here to lift the burden on the average person. Instead, it drains it more and more. This latest stupid law that permits them to wage war anywhere in the world will make this country obsolete and get us bombed. I COULD GO ON, BUT I WON'T. The fact is that this is a very brief analysis of the current situation that hits all the high notes except for the bankster debacle. I might cover that next time.

My boyfriend and I are 99ers and homeless. We were laid off in August 2008. We are living in our car. Family has turned its back on us and friends help when they can. I'm physically, mentality and emotionally exhausted! Don't know how much longer we can sleep in our car.
I am so sorry for what you are going through. There can be nothing as frustrating as being downsized. The stress of not having money coming in can be unbelievable. We watched 20,000 other people lose their jobs at the same company over a 20 year period before my husband was laid off. The company first changed health insurance, then cut back vacation length and carry over into the next year. Then it canceled standard retirement plans and went to 401K's. Meanwhile it hired temporaries to maximize profits. Following that, my husband was told by his new boss that two people coming out of college could be hired for what he was earning. He had 25 years of continuous education totaling more than 100 classes in his field, in addition to his two degrees. We were later told that the same boss was wondering where the computer programmer went. I guess because it wasn't in the job title, the boss didn't know that my husband did that for them on the side, in addition to understanding how to make, run and explain how to use their products. I truly can't see how a company can operate well when so few are left that have accumulated knowledge of the products for going forward. It seems to be done to maximize short-term profits at the expense of long-term corporate viability. In the end, though, it has all worked together for our good. We moved to a less expensive area and we have time to improve our home. The stress under which the remaining employees work becomes greater every year as they do the jobs of more and more people. I pray that good things will come about for you that weren't possible before.K. Rostad

Does the wine chateau in Piscataway carry this wine? I was just there this weekend asked for assistance and was not in the store.
Tasting Notes
I tasted it with a wide range of foods--Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce, crisp apple slices with butterkase and smoked ham, a big spoonful of Moose Tracks ice cream--- and was not disappointed once.

The 14th edition of this textbook of medicine has undergone major revision to bring together the advances of "Clinical Medicine" gained from the clinical sciences and laboratory with "Descriptive" or "Systematic Medicine."
The art of clinical diagnosis requires that the physician must first proceed in an orderly fashion to make accurate assessments of the patient's symptoms, history, and physical examination. The system originally devised by Dr. Savill for this purpose has been retained in the current revision. The causes of signs and symptoms are listed as they appear in the systematic history taking and physical examination. A description of the causes and diseases then follows with the inclusion of pathology and treatment. The classification of diseases, causes, symptoms, and treatments is orderly and helpful. The stress placed on bedside evaluation is welcome in this day of profusion of laboratory tests. However, both classical and newer laboratory tests are present and

Familial isolated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Familial isolated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM) is a primary cardiac disease characterized by an asymmetrical hypertrophy of the left ventricle, which frequently involves the interventricular septum.
The prevalence was evaluated at 1/5,000 and recently re-estimated at 1/500. Hence, this disease would not be rare.
The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disease often leads to a slight-to-moderate invalidation and carries a high incidence of sudden death, usually caused by ventricular tachyarrythmia.
FHCM is a genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with variable penetrance and variable expressivity. Many genes encoding for sarcomeric proteins including beta-myosin heavy chain, myosin light chain, cardiac troponines T and I, cardiac protein C, alpha-tropomyosin, cardiac actin, and titin were identified to play a role in the etiology of the disease.
The management includes medication with beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers; sometimes surgical operation (ventricular myomectomy) is indicated. Cardiac stimulation (pace maker) and septal ablation represent recent management alternatives. The surgical implantation of an automatic defibrillator may prevent the sudden death. Restrictions in the sport activities are recommended in all cases.

No longer working with WP 3.5.1
But it looked great while it was working (or at least, shows annoying error messages in the headers, but otherwise functions).
Probably just minor work to get it functioning, but I haven't had the time to play with it. The error msgs indicate what needs looked at, but I haven't had the time to dig around in there.
If I get around to it, I'll try to find the maintainer and push my changes to them.
Thanks for the theme "The Forge".

MIDDLEBORO — School officials hope to lessen the financial blow of three expenses from their capital planning requests for this year having submitted three statements of interest (SOIs) to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for repairs at the Mary K. Goode School, Nichols Middle School and Memorial Early Childcare Center. While the three SOIs submitted in mid-February for boiler and roof repairs at the three schools are "first tries" at obtaining MSBA grant funding for those items, an upcoming submittal in April for a Core Program grant will be the district's seventh annual attempt at securing MSBA funds for a possible major renovation of Middleboro High School pending a study.
The three items included in the SOIs are listed under the district's capital planning requests with projected costs of $100,000 for the replacement of one large boiler at MKG with two smaller, energy-efficient ones, $80,000 for two new boilers at NMS and $125,000 to replace a roof with loose and falling slate tiles at MECC. If awarded, grant funds from the MSBA's Accelerated Repair Program would pay the district back on the three projects at a reimbursement rate of 54.79 percent.
"We were fortunate enough to have our window project selected at the Mary K. Goode School through the MSBA's Green Program. If we do get these accelerated repair grants, the reimbursement rate will be the same as it was for that project," said the school district's director of business and finance, Kathleen Piatelli. "We've already received $197,000 back for the windows and we're just waiting on one more payment and closeout papers from (the MSBA)."
The fourth SOI submittal in April will be for Middleboro High School's inclusion in the MSBA's Core Program. Supt. of Schools Roseli Weiss said if the high school's SOI is accepted, the MSBA will investigate conditions at the high schoolfor themselves and determine what to do from there.
"When you submit an SOI you're asking them to take a look at your facility. What we've been trying to do is to have the MSBA select our SOI and help us take a look at our facility. From there they would decide whether they think it's fine, if we should renovate or if it'd be best to build a new high school," she said.
According to a memorandum to the Board of Selectmen who approved Supt. Roseli Weiss to submit the four SOIs, priorities regarding MHS include, "elimination of existing severe overcrowding", "prevention of the less of accreditation", "replacement, renovation or modernization of school facility systems"¦", and "replacement of or addition to obsolete buildings in order to provide for a full range of programs"¦."
"Our accreditation warning includes concerns with antiquated science labs, high class sizes and inadequate space for health services, conferences with parents, and storage," the memorandum states of a NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) report based on the findings of a visiting committee who observed operations at the high school last year.
Other concerns addressed in the memorandum include energy inefficiencies of an original boiler system, "single pain, original windows in 25 percent of the building" that "result in rain and wind coming into classrooms", an "inadequate, loud and obtrusive" ventilation system, and an electrical capacity that is "inadequate to provide a 21st century learning environment."
"There is a lack of power, outlets and data drops throughout the whole building," it says.
While a new or renovated high school would be nice, Dr. Weiss says all the district currently seeks is the MSBA's attention.
"Our high school simply isn't adequate or compatible with 21st century learning. Our building was built for learning in 1971, which was fine then but now high schools are built with a certain amount of flexibility that we just don't have," Dr. Weiss said. "If a building keeps you from doing your best work, it should be at least investigated. That's all we're asking for at this point."
MSBA Press Secretary Dan Collins told The Gazette that Core Program reimbursement rates vary from district to district and are calculated based on property values, per capita income and percentage of students on free or reduced lunch programs. Mr. Collins cited Middleboro's reimbursement rate at 57.74 percent of a potential project's total cost.
"Overall, the MSBA received 201 Statements of Interest from 117 different school districts for consideration in Fiscal Year 2013," Mr. Collins told The Gazette. "In reviewing SOIs, the MSBA identifies the school facilities that have the greatest and most urgent need based on an assessment of the entire cohort of SOIs that are received for consideration each fiscal year"¦. In calendar year 2013, the MSBA approved 15 grants for Core Program projects."
According to a list provided by Mr. Collins, the 15 Core projects that received MSBA funding in 2013 were in the following 12 districts: Lynn, Newton, Winchester, Winthrop, Berkshire Hills Regional, Whitman-Hanson Regional, Auburn, Chicopee, Peabody, Wachusett Regional, Old Colony, and Revere.
Mrs. Piatelli said she will be working on the SOI for Middleboro High School throughout the coming month to be submitted by the MSBA's April 11 deadline.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 2, Part 5, Chapter 1 Summary
- After Andrei and Natasha get engaged, Pierre gets all depressed again. He's still doing the Mason thing, but he's just not feeling it anymore.
- He decides to leave Petersburg and go back to Moscow, where he feels more at home. Another reason he goes is to get away from his gross wife, who is now just sleeping around under his nose.
- It works – he's immediately sucked back into Moscow life and society. He's spending money all over the place and returns to his frivolous lifestyle.
- Everyone in Moscow thinks he's awesome...in the same nonthreatening, asexual way a soft pillow is.
- Every time he thinks about it, he is horrified by what he's become...so he just drinks and chases women to avoid thinking about it.
- He's also having a huge crisis of faith. He sees hypocrisy everywhere, especially in his brother Masons, who don't really follow the dictates of their secret society.
- This crisis of faith is even more depressing, and he thinks about death and the moral abyss...which again is followed by more drinking.

Baking Soda and Charcoal
Aloha everyone,
I recently was bitten was a Black Widow spider and was lucky enough to find this site. What a mess they make.
I had cellulitus and the poison was spreading up my foot, heading toward my ankle. It was skin splitting sore and swollen. Also very itchy. I decided to try the baking soda and charcoal. Wow.
I was bitten on Saturday night. By Sunday night, I was a bit worried, watching the toxin spreading. I drew on my foot with a marker pen, so I could chart it's progress - just in case.
On Monday, it wasn't settling down. I found this site and made up a batch of baking soda and water. Just mixing it in with a little water to make a toothpaste like consistency. I smoothed it all over my foot and left it on there until it had dried up and was caking off. That took a lot of the itch out straight away.
When it would play up again, I'd then put some anti-histamine cream on and an ice pack. About every two hours on the Monday, I did the baking soda routine again. Each time it took out a bit more itch, a bit more pain.
I also tried one batch with some charcoal mixed in but this was stingy and I my foot stung afterwards. I had to wash it, so I just kept to the baking soda. And took the activated Charcoal (2 capsules) a couple of times a day, around food.
When I woke up on Tues, my foot had improved by about 30 to 40%. The toxin had also stopped spreading.
On Tues I did the same routine but wasn't having to do it as often. I was going about 3 to 4 hours between baking soda poultices. My friend rushed around here on Tues night, prepared to bodily take me to hospital if necessary. (She's an allopathic trauma nurse) And was floored when she saw how much it had gone down. She'd seen it on the Sunday night. (Now a keen Earthclinic phone. I put it on her phone for her. :-) ) Although, I did take some Bactrim antibiotics she had (Sulfurmeth) as well.
When I woke up Wed, my foot was probably about 100% improved. I had lost all the itchiness and most of the soreness. Slightly tight and tender to the touch, but nothing like it was. I thought my skin was going to pop. The toxin line was receding too. I only did 3 baking soda poultices.
Today is Thur and I've only done one baking soda poultice today, no ice or anti-histamine cream. I woke up and you can see the original toxin line but otherwise, barely any discoloration in the foot. I will continue to poultice it, internal charcoal and the antibiotics, which are probably only kicking in tonight anyway. :-)
In short - wow. I'm sold. Thank you all so much.

Spending cuts, shutdown lower deficit
WASHINGTON — The U.S. government started the first month of the 2014 budget year with a smaller budget deficit, signaling further improvement in the nation's finances at a time when lawmakers are wrestling to reach a deal to keep the government open past January.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the deficit in October was $91.6 billion. That's 24 percent lower than the $120 billion imbalance recorded in October 2012. The deficit is the gap between the government's tax revenue and spending.
