Damned, Evil Wal-Mart
Can you believe the nerve of Wal-Mart? Trying to go and do something good for people who need low cost generic prescriptions--even for people without drug coverage.
The article does go on to criticize Wal-Mart's employee health insurance plan (rightly or wrongly, I don't feel well-equipped to judge), so obviously, there's still a lot of room for continued left wing hatred of the big box chain of small-town-business-murdering stores. From where I sit, though, $4 generic drugs sound like a heck of a good deal. I have drug benefits, but when I recently hosted the Rock(s) of Gibraltar in delicate parts of my anatomy, the nearest drug store that could service my prescription didn't take my insurance. I opted for generic versions of the prescriptions and ended up paying only $30 for the two bottles of narcotics and pain killers (praise the Lord) which seemed like a pretty good deal to me. If it had dropped to $8 for the bottles, I would have been ecstatic. And I would have asked for some extras…
If this works out it will be because Wal-Mart buys and sells in such immense quantities that both they and the manufacturers will still be making money off of the deal. Which is another way of saying that, at least in this instance, a free market solution is helping to solve a problem so that the government won't have to.
But don't you worry, Uncle Sugar has ways of showing up where he isn't needed. While a company like Wal-Mart can explore ways to help people afford their prescriptions, the government will find a way to make sure that we all pay too much for a system that is far less efficient and far more expensive. Uncle Sugar has serious talents in that arena. Gotta get me that ol' time wealth redistribution…

text: We'll keep this brief. While there are plenty of options, they're fairly interchangeable. Nothing glamorous, just lots of chains. In fact, we found the rooms to be surprisingly expensive for what you get: $100 for a motel room? No thanks. There are better deals to be found further down the highway.

HARTFORD, Conn. - "I appreciate what you did today. You stepped up and got us the win. You helped out major. You did a lot of things that won't show up on the stat sheets, you got rebounds, you came in and fulfilled what we wanted, plus more."
These were the words Connecticut's Shabazz Napier spoke to teammate Phillip Nolan after the Huskies' 66-58 win over No. 6 Syracuse on Wednesday night, the last time these two teams will play each other as Big East rivals.
"I'm proud of Phil," Napier said.
In 14 minutes, Nolan had five rebounds and one block for. He had no points, missing his only field goal attempt. His numbers were not flashy by any means, but they did not need to be. They may have been some of the most important numbers of the night for the Huskies (17-6, 7-4 Big East).
Since the beginning of the season, rebounding had been a reoccurring issue for UConn. Decimated by the transfers of Alex Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith, as well as Andre Drummond's departure for the NBA draft, the Huskies were left with a much thinner front court, causing most players to have to play out of position. After Enosch Wolf had been suspended indefinitely following his recent arrest, things looked grim for the Huskies heading into the game against Syracuse (20-4, 8-3).
UConn was ranked towards the bottom of the Big East in every major rebounding category going in to Wednesday's game. But UConn outrebounded Syracuse 38-36.
"Being put in a tough position in a big game like this ESPN game and to come in and get five rebounds was big time for us," said coach Kevin Ollie, who was elated with the way his supporting class did against Syracuse, especially Nolan. "I thought Phil did an excellent job."
Going into the game against Syracuse, Nolan had only played 115 minutes, an average of 7.7 minutes per game. In that time, Nolan had grabbed 20 rebounds, an average of just over one rebound per game. Getting twice as many minutes against the Orange, due largely to Tyler Olander's foul trouble, Nolan was able to match his career-high for rebounds in a single game.
"Coaches always told me they believed in me, so I knew it would come one day," Nolan said, admitting that his confidence in his ability never waned, despite the small amounts of playing time.
Nolan may have turned many UConn fans into believers after beating Syracuse. With 6:46 remaining in the first half, James Southerland missed a three-pointer and Nolan got his first rebound of the game, pulling down the miss with a purpose. This set the tone early for him. Contributions, like his five rebound performance, will be critical in the remainder of UConn's season, especially if Wolf does not return.
"I've been looking forward to this opportunity and it finally presented itself, so I'm a happy camper," said Nolan, who spoke with a smile in the post game interview.

We have two members of our family that are allergic to MSG. There are over 40 different names it hides under. It's in almost everything packaged. We eliminated almost all processed foods years ago! However, we replaced it with many home baked whole grain things.
You know every time we fly to the U.S we nearly always take American Airlines, well I always had massive swollen ankles and a puffy face when I got off the plane, but this time we took Aer Lingus from Dublin and I wasn't puffy in the slightest. it then occurred to me that AA must season their food with MSG.
Yet another great reason to make your own food from actual ingredients!
New rule: If it has a label, it isn't food.
Yeah, I'm very sensitive to MSG, so I've eliminated practically all processed foods, and I try not to eat salads in restaurants because they often treat their greens with the stuff (as I've found when I 'reacted').
Ironically, my sensitivity to MSG has driven me to healthier eating with the elimination of processed foods. Whenever I'm tempted by something, I consider the danger--and it's easy to pass.
wow - that's amazing! when i read fast food nation, i was shocked to discover that anything with the words "natural flavors/flavoring" is still a chemical & comes from the same place as "artifical flavoring," the chemical just came from something that's natural. gross!

Histochemical observations on the distribution of various substances such as glycogen, protein-bound sulfhydryl groups, mucoprotein, glycoprotein, hyaluronic acid, and polysaccharides have been made in the normal and the diseased breast.5,7,8,13,15 However, observations on the distribution of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes in this organ have been limited to that of alkaline and acid phosphatase, nonspecific esterase, and succinic dehydrogenase.1,5,7,9,13,14We undertook to study, histochemically, the distribution of a group of enzymes in the surgically resected breast, to observe the normal pattern and its alterations in disease. Furthermore, an attempt was made to correlate these findings with the morphologic pattern observed with hematoxylin and eosin stains and with the clinical findings. Also, the results were briefly compared with those obtained biochemically by other investigators.

Burning sensation in my nipple area
Resolved Question:
Last month and this month just 3 or 4 days before I start my menstration cycle, I have had a burning sensation in my nipple area. It goes away but will come back again if I wear a bra. It is almost as if the skin on the nipple is raw, but for the life of me I cannot understand what would cause this rawness or burning sensation. My breasts are swollen and have only been swollent done this before my cycle begins nothing weird like this has ever happened.
Any idea of what this could be and should I get my OB/GYN to look into this?

Mastitis is an inflammation of a duct in the nipple area. The breast appears red and feels warm and tender. It can be cured by antibiotics.
A scaly red rash affecting the nipple and sometimes the areola could be Paget's disease. The rash affects the nipple and then spreads to the areola and some women complain of a burning sensation.
I recommend that you be examined by your gynecologist.

Reply to Dr. Hanson's Post: Dr. H,
I am currently on an antibiotic called Factive for an upper respiratory infection, so when you say antibiotics should clear it up (if I am only suffering from an inflammation issue), then would this not cure it? or do certain antibiotics do different things.
Dr. Hanson
replied 10 years ago.
Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast which may or may not be accompanied by infection.The most common organisms found in mastitis are coagulase-positive staphylococcus aureus and staph. albus, escherichia coli, and streptococcus. Factive (gemifloxacin mesylate) is indicated for the treatment of acute bacterial chronic bronchitis caused by multi drug resistant strains of streptococcus. Your mastitis is not caused by an organism sensitive to Factive because your inflammation would have been eliminated by taking the Factive ("burning sensation in my nipple area. . . . breasts are swollen"). How long have you been taking Factive?
Candida and cryptococcus have been reported to cause fungal mastitis. Since you have been taking Factive you may just have an over-growth of Candida which may have caused you to develop a fungal mastitis due to the antibiotic. I doubt this is the case.
Your breast pain should be treated with Motrin which will help to reduce the inflammation and pain.
Rest is essential.
Apply warm packs to your breasts.
Drink sufficient fluids (at least 8 glasses of water or juice per day).
Inflammatory breast cancer symptoms begin quickly over a few weeks and the symptoms are frequently mistaken for mastitis. Some of the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include: sudden swelling, ridged or pitted appearance of the breast similar to an orange peel (known as peau d'orange), breast feels warm to the touch, pain in breast, itching, discoloration (pink, red or bruised appearance that won't go away), discharge from the nipple, sudden inversion of the nipple, aureole changes in color and texture. There is usually not a lump that can be detected by ultrasound or mammogram with inflammatory breast cancer. Women with inflammatory breast cancer are often misdiagnosed and prescribed antibiotics because the symptoms are similar to mastitis.
Antibiotics may alter the appearance of symptoms causing a physician to think the antibiotic is appropriately helping the mastitis; however, antibiotics do not help inflammatory breast cancer and they might only delay a definitive diagnosis. If you are displaying symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer and have been prescribed antibiotics insist on a breast biopsy if your symptoms have not improved after a few weeks.
I strongly recommend that you be appropriately examined by a gynecologist. The only way to definitively diagnose inflammatory breast cancer is through a biopsy. A breast biopsy will also rule out Paget's disease of the breast. Paget's is a change in the skin of the nipple that is similar to eczema. Women who have Paget's usually have an underlying breast cancer.
I hope my information is helpful. If you have additional questions I will gladly answer them, otherwise please click the green "ACCEPT" button. "POSITIVE FEEDBACK" and a "BONUS" would be greatly appreciated.

TRENTON -- When it rains, it pours.
"Yeah, it does," Thunder manager Tony Franklin said after his pitching staff gave up a season- high four home runs yesterday in a 7-3 loss to the Binghamton Mets for the Eastern League squad's ninth loss in the last 12 games.
"But that's one of the three things that happens during the course of the season -- the winning streaks, the losing streaks and the injuries. We are in a little of a tailspin. Again, we have not been out of any of these games, because we have not been out of any of these games. I am pretty encouraged.
"We are playing hard. I can not say we are not playing hard. We are just missing a pitch, missing a play, missing a base-running decision. It's not clicking for us all of the time. The only thing we can do is battle like heck, continue to play hard and see if we can get some breaks to go our way."
The Thunder (44-30) lead both Portland and Binghamton by three games in the North Division.
Newly acquired Oneli Perez (0-1) sucked the wind out of the Thunder crowd of 6,156 at Mercer County Waterfront Park when he allowed the tying run to score on an RBI single by Caleb Stewart in the eighth and then the go-ahead two-run shot a batter later to Ambiorix Concepcion.
"I don't know what happened this year; I am working on it," Perez said.
Perez entered the season ranked 24th in the Chicago White Sox farm system by Baseball American, 24-11 with a 2.14 ERA for his career since signing with San Diego as a undrafted free agent in 2001. However, the right-hander is 0-2 with two saves and an 8.54 ERA and in his third organization -- after the Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Cleveland Indians -- this season alone.
"My feeling is that you can al ways use pitching help," said Franklin, who had 13 pitchers on the roster when the Yankees claimed Perez Wednesday and be fore Steven Jackson went up to Triple-A Saturday.
"I don't think that you can ever have enough pitching as far as I am concerned. I am pretty sure when (the Yankees claimed Perez off waivers), they made the move with the idea that he was going to help our team. I think he will.
"This guy's been successful somewhere; people have seen him, and they like him. Today was just one of many baseball games. Maybe he wasn't as successful as he would have liked to been today, but I think before it is all over, he will be right in the mix of it."
The Thunder erased a 1-0 deficit with a three-run second inning. Carlos Mendoza singled in a run. Ramiro Pena's two-run triple accounted for the other runs. Josh Peterson took Alfredo Aceves deep for a solo homer in the fourth to make it 3-2.
After Perez coughed up the lead, Binghamton (41-33) hit a pair of homers off Bo Hall in the ninth. Eude Brito (4-1) earned the win while Tim Lavigne notched his sixth save.
The Reading Phillies extended their Player Development Contract (PDC) with the Phillies last week. Reading will be the home of the Phillies' Double-A team for two more seasons. The current four-year extension was set to expire after this season.
It was an obvious no-brainer since Reading and Philadelphia have been partners since 1967. The question has to be asked when will the Thunder and the Yankees do the no-brainer extension of their PDC, which also expires after the end of the season?
Thunder general manager and chief operating officer Brad Taylor said he expects the deal to get done within the coming weeks. He said he spoke to the Yankees senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman recently. The Yankees wanted to wait until after the draft before working on the PDC.
Taylor said with the draft now over, he expects something to happen soon.

Hain Celestial Hit with BluePrintJuice Cleanse Class Action Lawsuit
By Courtney Coren
A false advertising class action lawsuit was filed against Hain Celestial Group Inc. last week for allegedly making false claims that its line of raw juice products, BluePrintJuice and BluePrintCleanse, are made with raw and unpasteurized juices.
New York resident Michael Stark along with California residents Reyna Gillead, Kenna Braner, and Oscar Ruiz filed the false advertising lawsuit against Hain Celestial on October 15.
All four plaintiffs claim that in 2013 they purchased one or more of the Hain Celestial BluePrint juice products — "Red Juice," "Gold Juice," "Green Juice," "Yellow Juice," and/or "White juice" — ranging in price from $6.99 to $11.99. The plaintiffs say they were willing to pay a premium price for the juices because of the claims made on the bottles that they were made with juices that were "Unpasteurized," "100% Raw," and "Raw and Organic." The packaging also included statements that it claimed was the company's "Manifreshto," stating that "Juice should never be cooked. Cooking juice kills vitamins and live enzymes. Even 'flash' pasteurized means cooked."
The plaintiffs all say that they purchased the premium juices based on these claims and that if they had known that the juices were neither 100% Raw nor unpasteurized, they would not have purchased the products. The class action lawsuit says they took the statements on the packaging to be true, when "the Juice Products were, in fact, equivalent to pasteurized juices." The plaintiffs claim that the juices being pasteurized make them worth less than what was paid for them.
According to the BluePrint juice class action lawsuit, the juices "undergo a treatment process known as High Pressure Processing (also known as High Pressure Pasteurization or High Pressure Pascalization) ("HPP"), which neutralizes the benefits of the live enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, proteins, and nutrients that would otherwise be retained in a raw unpasteurized juice."
The plaintiffs explain that while HPP is not the same as traditional pasteurization, the effects are the same in that it also destroys probiotics and enzymes, violating "the fundamental principles underlying the raw food movement, consumers' expectations and industry standards."
The BluePrint juice class action lawsuit alleges that the statements made by Hain that the juices were "100% Raw," "Raw and Organic," and "Unpasteurized" were made "in an effort to appeal to health-conscious, raw-juice-drinking consumers." These statements allowed Hain "to charge a significant price premium — roughly double the price of similarly sized, but properly labeled HPP-treated juice products."
Juices in their raw state, that are unpasteurized and untreated, are supposed to be consumed within days before they begin to go bad to take advantage of the natural probiotics, enzymes, and nutrients, making raw juices worth a lot more than traditional pasteurized juices.
BluePrintWholesale LLC and ZSBPW LLC are also listed as defendants.
The plaintiffs are asking that their lawsuit against Hain be given class action status as they believe that there is a "nationwide" of purchasers. They argue that Hain violated the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, California's Unfair Competition Law, California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, California's False Advertising Law, and New York General Business Law. They are also charging Hain with breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty, and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiffs claim that Hain could end up paying more than $5 million to the class members.
The plaintiffs are represented by Scott A. Bursor, Joseph I. Marchese, Neal J. Deckant, and Yitzchak Kopel or Bursor & Fisher PA and by Spencer Sheehan and Joshua Levin-Epstein of Sheehan & Associates PC.
The Hain BluePrint Raw Juice False Advertising Lawsuit is Stark et al v. Hain Celestial Group Inc. et al, Case No. 1:13-cv-07246 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Matchups of nationally ranked college football teams have become almost routine in Columbia and Clemson.
But such a sporting spectacle hasn't been held in our community since No. 6 Elon hung on for a 27-23 victory over No. 21 The Citadel at Johnson Hagood Stadium on Oct. 11, 2008.
And there has never been a game between ranked teams at Charleston Southern University.
That changes today, when Coastal Carolina plays Charleston Southern in a 1 p.m. showdown at Buccaneer Field.
The 9-0 Chanticleers are ranked No. 3 in the Football Championship Subdivision coaches' poll. The 9-1 Buccaneers are No. 16.
To the victor will go first place in the Big South Conference — and dramatically elevated chances of winning the league title and an FCS playoff berth.
CSU's 2013 success continues an impressive upward trend. After going 0-11 in 2011, the Bucs bounced back with a 6-5 record last year.
Then with Jamey Chadwell taking over as head coach this season, the Bucs won their first seven games before falling at the University of Colorado. Along the impressive way, the Bucs earned a national football ranking for the first time in school history.
They also won the unofficial local championship with their 32-29 comeback victory at The Citadel in the season opener.
Adding to today's Coastal Carolina-CSU spotlight: Both the South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers are off this week — and The Citadel is playing at Elon on Saturday.
So go Bucs.
And if you want to see two nationally ranked teams playing for high stakes, head for Buccaneer Field.

In this segment, Target (NYSE: TGT ) has now announced that it will be extending its policy of matching the price of online retailers such as Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) through the end of the year. The guys discuss how Amazon's razor-thin profit margins just aren't feasible for a brick-and-mortar retailer like Target and why they think this announcement is both shocking and disappointing.

The terrible beauty of I'm Leavin' by Paul Simpson
Source: Elvis Australia
November 3, 2011 - 7:23:38 PM
Elvis Articles, By Paul Simpson
Watching Elvis sing I'm Leavin' in concert, biographer WA Harbinson wrote: 'If he sings of the spirit, he imbues it with the flesh, if he sings of desire he speaks of love. 'Who will I find to lie beside me?' he sings and the words, which are simple, which are quite simply desolate, are filled with the tragedy, with the crystalline grief of a flesh that might never be touched. 'Leavin' me lonely', he adds and the last word is a killer, a knife through all hope, a common word transformed to pure poetry by its tone of delivery'.
The song's unusual blend of quiet horror, utter weariness, inexorable sadness and subtle rebuke is a tribute to the craft of Jarrett who, as he revealed in an interview published on www.elvis.com.au created the song on a 12-string guitar in the LA home of his old friend Sonny Charles. Jarrett had given up life on the road to write and record his own songs and was shocked to hear his girlfriend ask: 'What if your songs aren't good enough?' Realising they didn't share the same dream, they went their separate ways: the girl stayed in Portland, Jarrett headed for LA where - still haunted by his failed marriage and angry at his girlfriend's lack of faith - he wrote I'm Leavin'.
You can see why, struggling with the song in a fabulously productive session in RCA's Studio B in Nashville in May 1971, Elvis remarked: 'Phew man it's tough. But the thing is worth working on'.
He likes the song so much he changes the inflection in his voice. As it starts, he leads the vocal ensemble setting the scene with the 'la la la' refrain but as the verses start, his voice deepens and he is more recognisably Elvis as he asks the terrible questions: 'Where will I go? Who will I have to lie beside me?' Here his voice is almost naked, stripped of the mannerisms his impersonators have made careers out of, yet rich with emotion. There is no histrionic overstatement here - the desolation mounts in the middle of the second verse but the shift in his tone is slight and telling.
As the tempo accelerates, building to the emotional and vocal climax of the bridge, the mood is of impassioned regret and bafflement - for all the singer's efforts he just can't make it. And then as the drums signal a shift to a gentler rhythm, Elvis' voice swoops beautifully to the resigned pathos of I'm leavin''.
He returned to I'm Leavin' relatively frequently in concert - memorably in Las Vegas in 1974 and Huntsville, Alabama in 1975 - and usually showed care and commitment as he tried to get the mood right. Unfortunately, live shows all but dictate a faster tempo and on the live performances I have heard the backing never quite recaptures the authority of the studio original. That said, his vocal could still, as Harbinson's reaction shows, be very moving.
I'm Leavin's two short, stark verses must have felt like lines Elvis could have written. Like his father, he had always suffered from bouts of devastating loneliness. His marriage was already foundering - he would be separated from Priscilla within 14 months of this recording - and his romantic life would subsequently be full of women he had arrived too late to know, who didn't have the time to show him who they were. (The one glorious exception to that rule would be Linda Thompson.) And ultimately, despite being the most famous man in the world, he would be left lonely in Graceland.
Perhaps that is what gives I'm Leavin' what WB Yeats might have called its 'terrible beauty'. In this magical, desolate three minutes and fifty three seconds, Elvis confronts one possible version of his future. The tragedy - as he may have already feared as he perfected the song in Nashville - was that this possibility came true.
Elvis Presley Boulevard became his lonely street.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet.
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

T.G. Sheppard
Sheppard, 53, had 14 chart-topping singles during the late 970s and 1980s but then couldn't find a label that would accommodate him. He hadn't recorded in 10 years until promoter Ray Ruff and producer Denny Diante (Sheena Easton, Barbra Streisand, Rosanne Cash) asked him to join their new label, Outwest. The result is this energetic, amiable album that's a good reminder of why Sheppard was so successful. The title song, lifting a famous comment associated with Marilyn Monroe's nude calendar shoot, is by Robert Jetton and W.D. Lord. Sheppard and Diante drew on reliable Nashville writers for the other 11 tracks, one of which even suggests Monroe, or at least Joe DiMaggio's devoted visits to her grave—J. Burek's "I Bring Her Flowers (Every Day)." There's also G.L. Phelps's clever "She's Gettin' the Rock" ("She's gettin' the rock and I'm gettin' stoned, she's tyin' the knot and I'm tyin' one on"). Sheppard's fans will be happy that he basically sounds like his old self—relaxed, robust and capable of an ironic inflection. Now if only someone would find out whatever happened to T.G.'s old duet partner Karen Brooks. (Outwest)

With bank fees [3] continuing to frustrate consumers, some brokerages are stepping in to fill what they perceive as a need. With technology making it possible for nearly anyone to open a brokerage account and start investing, it isn't much of a surprise that some are beginning to wonder if it might be easier to simply bank with a broker.
And, with some brokerages offering great deals to banking customers, it can be a great way to avoid bank fees [4], and perhaps even earn a return on the money you keep in your checking account.
Perks of Brokerage Bank Accounts
Many brokerages offer free checking accounts to investors and non-investors alike. Some of these accounts require a minimum balance, but there are plenty that don't require any minmums at all. You can also get access to your money using a debit card. Some of the brokerages, like TD Ameritrade and Fidelity, offer ATM fee rebates so that you aren't paying anything to access your money.
Many brokerage accounts are truly fee-free, and they also often pay an interest yield. Most of the yields on checking accounts at brokerages are fairly low, in keeping with money market rates. However, TIAA-CREF has a bank that offers 1.25% on savings accounts. In today's climate, that's a pretty good yield. Many of the banks even offer FDIC protection, because the banks are separate from the brokerage account.
However, even with the separation between your brokerage bank account and your brokerage investment account, it's still often possible to easily move your money around. This set up can make it easier to fund your investment account, and it might also facilitate transfers from your investment account into the FDIC protected bank account. Check into the process, and make sure that it suits your needs, and that it won't be too easy to get into trouble with your investment account.
As Always, Shop Around
Any time you prepare to make a change, it helps to shop around. While brokerages are working toward to expanding their banking offerings, most brokerages are still fairly limited with their banking options. You probably won't be able to apply for a mortgage; most of the offerings are limited to basic checking and savings accounts. But that's not a bad thing if you are looking for a safe place to keep your money while avoid fees and possibly seeing better yields.
If it's important to you to have your investment accounts at the same institution as your bank accounts, you will want to compare more than just the banking basics. You will also want to look at your trading options and costs at the brokerage. Consider all of the fees you are likely to incur, and consider the hassle involved in switching banks [5]. If you find that the brokerage offers reasonable trades, free checking, and high yields on savings accounts, it might be worth your while to switch. Just make sure you understand what you are doing.
Would you be willing to bank at your brokerage?

NCCC retirees are extremely fortunate
I am writing about the article in the June 30 paper concerning the Niagara County Community College retirees who are dissatisfied because the school refused to pay the entire Medicare Part B amount of $104.90. These poor individuals have to shell out a whopping $8.50 a month themselves!
I would give my eye teeth if I had to pay this trivial amount.

Jeb Bush says it's harder to watch son George P. prepare to run for political office than to run yourself
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says it's harder to watch a family member run for office than to do so yourself. "When I ran and when I was a governor and people were critical, it didn't bother me a bit. But if they were critical of my brother or some other family member, it hurt you," he said in an interview. "Politics is a rough and tumble business."
Politics is also the family business. Jeb Bush and son George P. Bush were together Tuesday evening in Austin, each addressing an educaiton conference. Jeb said as he watches his son prepare to run for office in Texas, it's with many of the same emotions his father had two decades ago when the Bush brothers – Jeb and George W. Bush – first sought statewide elective office. As for George P., he father said: "He knows the ropes, he knows what it's like, he knows what he's getting into. But it's very emotional. Now I know what my dad felt like."
The 36-year-old Fort Worth investment manager says he intends to run for statewide office in Texas next year, likely land commissioner, but has yet to make a formal decision. "We will be making an announcement soon," the younger Bush told the crowd Tuesday night. George P. is a fourth-generation heir to a Bush political dynasty in which his great-grandfather was a senator, his grandfather and uncle were presidents and his father served as governor of Florida. His mother, Columba, is from Mexico, giving the 36-year-old Texan both a political pedigree and ethnic heritage that could benefit a Republican Party that has struggled to attract Hispanics.
In an interview, Jeb Bush said the GOP needs to do a better job appealing to a growing population of Latinos alienated by divisive, anti-immigrant rhetoric and his party's reflexive refusal to find common ground with the Obama administration. Obama has made immigration reform a top priority of his second term. "We don't have to change our principles but we need to not be reactionary to the president's policies. We need to propose policies that are aspirational and opportunity-driven," he said. "Our message has become too negative."
As for whether he'll seek the White House in 2016, Bush said "I have no clue what I'm going to be doing four years from now." But he did joke about his family's political dynasty, saying there must be "a bunch of scientists" at Texas and Texas A&M universities studying "why it is the Bushes feel compelled to run for office. It's either in DNA or upbringing. Not sure which one it is, but it seems to keep happening."

Not a whole lot can slow down a team in the middle of one of its best seasons in school history.
Coming off a disappointing road loss and playing without one of its leading scorers, The Master's College men's basketball didn't have much trouble taking care of business at home, beating San Diego Christian 60-47 on Saturday at Bross Gym.
Earlier this week, TMC cracked the top 10 of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics coaches poll for the first time this season.
With Saturday's victory, the Mustangs (15-6, 7-3 Golden State Athletic Conference) are off to their best start in the GSAC since joining the conference in 2001.
"I wish we could enjoy it," said TMC head coach Chuck Martin. "We can't. You can just as easily go on a three-game winning streak as you can a three-game losing streak (in this conference)."
But after a 77-63 loss to Azusa Pacific on Tuesday, the Mustangs, at least for the time being, avoided the start of any kind of losing skid and moved back into a four-way tie for the conference lead.
The typical formula worked against SDC (5-12, 1-9), which shot just 33.3 percent and never led in the game.
Offensively, TMC had to spread the scoring out with junior guard Devin Dyer out with an abdominal injury he sustained on Tuesday.
Dyer will be sidelined at least 2-4 weeks, Martin said.
In his place, fellow guards Anthony Cammon, Leif Karlberg and Mike Harmon were called upon to do most of the scoring, combining for 42 of the team's points.
Harmon led with 16 while Karlberg and Cammon posted 13 apiece.
The three of them keyed an early 20-7 lead which set the tone for a game controlled by the Mustangs from beginning to end.
Despite losing the rebounding battle 43-30, TMC was more patient on offense, running down the shot clock and making enough passes to find an open man.
Though the game was well in hand most of the night, both teams went through scoring lulls.
The Hawks tried to play a similar style, but had a hard time dealing with the Mustangs' relentless defense that held SDC to just 29 points until the last 4:08 when TMC emptied its bench.
It was a 31-14 Mustangs lead at halftime.
"We struggled scoring points at times, but we never struggled defending them," Martin said.
Benji Arvizu was the only Hawks player to score in double figures, finishing with 12 points.
TMC led by as much as 54-29 until SDC rattled off 15 straight points over the next three minutes to make it a 10-point game.
It was the biggest scoring run by either team.

I woke up this morning to Riley's little "I'm awake!" noise. Initially, I was not thrilled about getting out of bed. With all that has been going on with our house lately (which I'll explain momentarily) I just wanted to stay snuggled under the covers in my flannel pajamas. So, I slowly pushed away the warm blankets, rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and looked out the window to see what the morning light would bring for the day. I had to blink a couple of times because there was a white, fluffy substance weighing down the leaves on the tree outside the window.
It can't be…
Is it?
It is!
I immediately perked up, rushed to Riley's room and exclaimed, "It snowed!" He was excited too, although I'm sure he didn't know exactly why. I carried him to the window and showed him the snowy leaves, our cars blanketed in white, and the flakes that were floating around in the gentle morning breeze. It was amazing.
As I mentioned, things have been a little stressful with our house. Moving is hard. Moving from one country to another is harder. Moving from one country to another while renovating a house is the hardest. Add a baby into the mix and it becomes a whole new kind of difficult. Riley has been wonderful, though. He just goes with it. What a blessing.
We attempted to spend our first night in our home last Saturday night. Nothing was going very smoothly, but we were trudging through. We were willing to deal with the lights that wouldn't turn on in our bedroom, the fact that we would be sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and the mess that was lingering from random projects around the house. But when I walked in front of the washer and dryer and felt like my feet were stepping on pillows rather than hardwood…well, that was just not going to work.
It turns out that our washing machine had been leaking for about a week straight. The leak originated from the connection in the wall, dripping slowly under the floor boards until it had soaked the wood causing them to buckle and curl. In a way, it's lucky we were there to see it that night rather than letting it go another day or even two before realizing what had happened. We ended up pulling the floor boards up to allow everything to dry out. Then, at 11:30pm, we moved back to my in-laws house.
No, that was not at all what we had planned.
Now, a week later, we have replaced the floor, put tile under the washer and dryer instead of wood, and things seem to be looking up. I'm banging my head against wood right now just to make sure I don't jinx anything.
If all goes as planned, tonight will be the night that we move in.
In the midst of all that has happened, the snow this morning really lifted my spirits. Others may not feel the same, but my heart always leaps out of my chest with joy when I see that beautiful white stuff. What can I say? I'm a true Minnesota girl. And maybe also a Colorado girl…?
I was able to find some time to take a few photos at our house this week. There is a perfect spot near the back doors where the light is beautifully diffused. The jars of jam that I took photos of here may seem out of place on a snowy October morning, but maybe some of you still have fresh peaches available to you. If so, I hope these photos inspire you to trap some of that summer sun in a jar to open and share in the cold winter months ahead.
Hopefully I'll be back with more positive updates about our move soon! It's been a long wait but it will all be worth it in the end. Right?

Let's go live to my blind date at a West Hollywood Restaurant. The merlot is great, the gnocchi is inspired and the waiter taught me to say fork in Italian. The guy? Not for me. Marc is a rare blond Jew, but there was no click between us, no fireworks, no cell phone call from the bathroom stall to tell my girls I'd met my husband. Not that I've ever made that call or am looking for a husband. I don't even know how to spell husband. Or say it in Italian.
Having already located my nearest emergency exit, I had one high heel out the door when Marc blurts out, "So what'd ya think? How'd I do? Where do I stand?"
I laugh. Then realize he's serious.
"Are you into me?"
Could he ask more questions?
"Are we going out again?"
Guess he can.
This is a "clean up on aisle four" disaster. After a typical dating mismatch, I dial the next day, say thanks, then let things fade. I don't do direct feedback, customer comment cards or post-date wrap-ups. I'm not comfortable with it, especially when I'm sitting less than a foot away. Yet, inquiring Marc wants to know. He's desperate for a touchy-feely date-end review. I blame daytime television.
I've never been cross-examined by a date before; I don't know how to respond. Should I be honest or polite? Go for truth or tact? Marc's not topping my to-do list, but can I say that? Bad dates have feelings, too. I could lie, say I'm ga ga, and suggest we visit the Little Chuppah of Elvis. I could play coy, suggest he call, then give him the Ma Bell brush off. I could tell the truth, and send him home with Rice-A-Roni and a parting gift. Or I could take the Fifth. Yeah right, like I can remain silent.
So, tonight's dating dilemma features heavyweight champion "honesty -- best policy" vs. mother's favorite "if you don't have something nice to say...."
What does the Torah teach us about lying to a date? Nothing -- who dated back then? But the Talmud does discuss telling little white social lies. Bet Hillel and Bet Shammai argued over how to describe an ugly bride. Should all brides -- shayna punim or not -- be danced before in the same way? Shammai said no -- be honest, say the chick's not hot, and be happy brides wear veils. Hillel said lie -- she has a beautiful personality, you're not in court and better everyone should get along. I say, why marry an ugly bride?
"Just tell me the truth. I don't want to waste my time."
Marc's sentiments sound vaguely familiar. He sounds like, well, um, a girl. Women constantly complain that men can't be honest about how they feel, where things are going, or why things are ending. Take Scott, who I dated for two months last fall. On New Year's Day, he hit me with the ol' "I'm going back to my ex-girlfriend" resolution. What could I do? Who was I to stand in the way of their true love?
True love my shankbone. A week later, Scott contacted my sorority sister through JDate. Not realizing she knew me, he said he liked her profile, liked her picture and would like to meet. Was he going to bring his ex-girlfriend on their date? Did his big plan to woo her back involve meeting other women on the Internet? There was no ex-girlfriend reunion; Scott just didn't have the matzah balls to say he didn't like me. His lack of respect hurt just as much as the breakup. All I wanted was a little honesty.
Guess Marc just wants the same. Gray is the new black, early is the new late and honesty is the new game. Daters don't want Splenda-coated statements and false hopes. We want the truth, no artificial colors or feelings. We want to know where we stand, even if we stand alone.
Which is why I ripped the rejection Band-Aid off quickly. I told Marc he was a good guy, but not the right guy and suggested he tell his story walking. I also suggested he back off on the post-date interrogations. If the date had gone well, we'd be kissing by now. Then I bid him adios, shalom and, as our waiter taught me, ciao!

- Warren Bruce Rudman
Warren Bruce Rudman, (born May 18, 1930, Boston, Mass.—died Nov. 19, 2012, Washington, D.C.) American politician who fought federal deficits during two terms of office (1980–93) as a Republican senator from New Hampshire and was a sponsor, with Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas and Sen. Ernest Hollings of South Carolina, of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The measure mandated automatic spending cuts if annual targets for reducing the deficit were not met and was intended to create a balanced budget by 1991; the provisions of the law were postponed and revised repeatedly. In 1987, as vice-chairman of the Senate delegation of the congressional committee investigating the Iran-Contra Affair, he signed the majority report that found that aides to Pres. Ronald Reagan had knowingly broken the law. Rudman was chairman of the Select Committee on Ethics in his second term. He was appointed to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board in 1993 and served as its chairman in 1995–2001. He also cochaired, with former senator Gary Hart, the U.S. Commission on National Security, which issued a report on Feb. 15, 2001, warning that terrorist attacks on U.S. soil were likely to take place over the following 25 years.

First Star – Sean Gallagher (.194)
Second Star – Mike Fontenot (.188)
Third Star – Carl Crawford (.171)
Turd of the Game – Carlos Marmol (-.458)
Well, the streak of not losing three straight is over. Man, is it just me or is anyone else coming out of this series with the Rays feeling like the sky is falling? I know we're going to win the division, but it seems like everything went wrong this week and it doesn't have me excited about this weekend. Am I wrong on that?
- Sean Gallagher was outstanding, which helps ease the fears if Zambrano has to miss a start or two. I was thinking about who will replace Z for his next start and, looking at the 40 man roster, it seems like Sean Marshall is the only option now that Kevin Hart went down with a line drive to the head.
- My goodness, the Rays pitchers are pretty darn good. Thank God we're leaving Tampa. I don't want to play those guys any more.
- What the heck was up with Carlos Marmol? Walk, Walk, HBP, HBP!!! What the heck is that? Yuck Yuck Yuck. I know guys have off nights, but his frequency of use makes me nervous. I hope this wasn't a result of that.
- All that talk about Derrek Lee was answered yesterday. Lee got on base with great ease but no one managed to drive the poor guy in or even move him around the bases. What drives me nuts is that people are blaming a slump or poor play in general on his daughter. It's not a new condition. Stop making excuses for someone. Everyone in life has issues in their life that are outside of their line of work and do their job just fine. Ray Allen had a great NBA Finals and his child has issues. Stop mentioning Lee's daughter for any other reason than to talk about the donation you made to his charity.
Des Moines – Sean Marshall allowed just one run in eight innings of work as the Iowa Cubs defeated the New Orleans Zephyrs 4-1 at Principal Park Thursday night.
Marshall, making his second start since coming off the disabled list on June 9, kept Zephyrs batters off balance and away from the bases. The lengthy left-hander surrendered just four hits on the night and retired 12 in a row until Abraham Nunez led off the fifth with a single to right field.
The I-Cubs' starter got plenty of help early on when Eric Patterson put Iowa ahead 1-0 when he laced his sixth home run of the season to lead off the third inning. Patterson finished the night 2-for-4.
Iowa added an insurance run in the fourth when Tony Richie drove in Casey McGehee with an RBI groundout to give the I-Cubs a 2-0 lead. Richie picked up his second RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Jason Dubois connected on his seventh home run of the season in the seventh to give Iowa a 4-0 lead.
Marshall did the rest, allowing just four New Orleans base runners on the night, including two in the seventh. He worked out of a one-out jam with runners on first and second, getting Raul Casonova to line out to second baseman Bobby Scales who completed the double play with a toss to shortstop Andres Torres, catching Argenis Reyes away from the base.
The Zephyrs lone run of the night came in the eighth when Gustavo Molina connected on his fourth home run of the season to make it 4-1.
Reliever Jim Brower worked a perfect ninth inning to pick up his fifth save.
Marshall's eight-inning outing tied the team's mark for the longest outing of the season for an Iowa starter. Former I-Cub Randy Keisler also threw eight innings on May 23 against Oklahoma. Marshall struck out four, throwing just 87 pitches on the night.
New Orleans starter Willie Collazo was tagged with the loss (4-4), giving up three runs on eight hits in six innings on the hill.
Sevierville, TN
– Tyler Colvin's ninth inning RBI single was the difference today as the Tennessee Smokies downed the Mobile BayBears by a 4-3 score. The late inning heroics thrilled the crowd of 3,920 fans as the Smokies improved to 2-1 in the early portion of the second half of the season.
Starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija was sharp today on the mound, and was staked to an early lead thanks to the Smokies offense. Center fielder Sam Fuld got the game started in great fashion for the Smokies, smacking a leadoff triple into the right field corner. Fuld scored shortly thereafter on a Colvin RBI single to give Tennessee a 1-0 lead. Jake Fox then came up with a double to score Colvin in the first, and the Smokies were off and running with a 2-0 lead.
Samardzija kept the BayBears offense at bay through the early innings, not allowing a hit through the first three innings. Mobile finally was able to get to Samardzija in the top of the fourth with two hits, which plated one run thanks in part to an RBI double by Rusty Ryal. Samardzija continued pitching through the seventh inning, but ran into trouble again in the top of the sixth. With men on first and third, Samardzija induced Ryal into a 6-4-3 double play, but the runner on third still came across to score to tie the game at 2-2.
Fox was able to pick up Samardzija in the bottom of the sixth with his fourth home run of the season. His towering shot over the left center field wall gave the Smokies the lead at 3-2 and put Samardzija in line for the win. He threw seven complete innings, allowing just two runs on five hits, walking three batters and striking out two.
Mobile was able to tie the game in the top of the ninth, however, scoring a run off Smokies reliever Jose Ceda (1-0). Ceda allowed three hits in the top of the ninth, with the tying run coming in an RBI single off the bat of pinch hitter John Hester. Ceda was able to work out of the jam to end the inning, with the score now 3-3.
Tennessee was able to rally once again in the ninth, with Joe Simokaitis leading off the inning with a walk off Abe Woody (1-2). He advanced to second on a well executed sacrifice bunt by Fuld, but stayed at second after Matt Camp failed in his attempt to move him over to third with another bunt. Colvin then delivered the game winning hit with two outs, a hard hit line drive over the head of right fielder's Cyle Hankerd's glove to bring home Simokaitis. Colvin was mobbed rounding first base as Simokaitis scored to give the Smokies their second win in three games.
Game four of the six-game series against the BayBears will take place on Friday night at 7:15 pm. The Smokies will send left-hander James Russell (2-1, 4.06) to the mound to face off against BayBears right-hander Hector Ambriz (3-9, 5.65). The series will conclude at Smokies Park on Sunday June 22nd.
DAYTONA BEACH – The second half arrived the same way the first half started; with the Brevard County Manatees. The Cubs were locked up in a rare pitcher's duel with their down state rivals. Brevard County got the best of the Cubs tonight winning by the final score of 3-2.
Grant Johnson took the mound for Daytona, making his first start in nearly two years. He didn't pitch long, but he set things up nicely for the bullpen. In all, Johnson pitched two innings of two hit, one run baseball. He didn't walk a batter and struck out one.
The one run scored on a double play that ended the second inning. The problem is that it wasn't a force-out double play and the run scored before the third out of the inning was made. Charlie Fermaint came into the score on the 4-3-6 twin-killing. Kenny Holmberg was tagged out by Darwin Barney after a brief rundown.
The Cubs prevailed in the bottom of the inning. Ty Wright continued his hot hitting by knocking a lead-off double. He then moved to third when Blake Lalli singled to leftfield. The Cubs then got some help from Manatees starting pitcher, Zach Braddock. With Russ Canzler at the plate, Braddock delivered a wild pitch that allowed Wright to score the tying run.
Daytona took the lead briefly in the fifth. With one out, Canzler got his second hit of the night when he doubled. Mark Reed then hit his second triple of the season to drive the second Cubs run. The lead wouldn't last long.
Brevard County benefited from Taylor Green's solo shot in top of the sixth. Green hit the pitch from Mike Phelps out to rightfield to tie the contest back up at two runs a piece.
Casey Lambert entered the game in the eight and gave up the lead for good. Back-to-back singles by Darren Ford and Lorenzo Cain put runners at first and third for Brevard County. Then, playing in his first game in 2008, Jonathan Lucroy hit a sacrifice fly the easily scored the speedy Ford from third. That made the score 3-2, which turned out to be the final.
Casey Baron earns the win in relief for Brevard County. Casey Lambert is charged with the loss. Mike McClendon pitched the ninth to earn his fifth save.
The Peoria Chiefs dropped the opening game of a four-game series 3-1 to the Beloit Snappers on Thursday evening at O'Brien Field. The loss drops the Chiefs to 0-1 in the second half and 30-39 overall on the year.
Beloit got on the board against Chiefs starter Dae-Eun Rhee in the third inning with an unearned run. Estarlin De Los Santos started the inning with an infield hit. De Los Santos stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Josh Donaldson. A walk to Mark Dolenc put runners on the corners with no outs. Rhee avoided a big inning by getting a 5-4-3 double play ball off the bat of Joe Benson; however, De Los Santos scored on the play to make it 1-0 Beloit.
The Chiefs answered back in their half of the third inning against Snappers starter Michael McCardell. With one out, Cliff Andersen tripled to the gap in left-center field, and he then scored the tying run when Nate Samson reached on a throwing error by the third baseman to make it 1-1.
The Snappers broke the 1-1 tie in the eighth inning against Chiefs reliever Chris Siegfried. De Los Santos homered to the berm in left-center to lead off the inning and put the Snappers in front 2-1. Siegfried allowed a base hit to Dolenc and walked Benson before departing in favor of Jordan Latham without recording an out in the eighth. After a sacrifice bunt by Paul Kelly moved both runners up, Chris Parmelee drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to extend the Beloit lead to 3-1. Peoria got the tying runs on base in both the eighth and ninth innings but hit into inning ending double plays.
Rhee pitched five innings, his most since returning from the disabled list, and allowed just an unearned run on three hits. He struck out three and walked three but did not factor in the decision. Audy Santana worked a scoreless inning out of the bullpen while allowing two hits and striking out one. Siegfried took the loss allowing two runs in an inning plus of work while striking out one and walking two. Latham worked two scoreless frames without allowing a hit and struck out a pair.
Player of the Game – Andersen (DH) – Andersen finished the night 2-for-3 with a triple, his third of the year, and scored the only Chiefs run.
Notes… Rhee has not allowed an earned run in 14 consecutive innings…The Chiefs lost the opening game of the second half in 2007 in Beloit also by a score of 3-1…Dustin Sasser was promoted to High-A Daytona following the game leaving the Chiefs with 24 players…Sasser was 1-4 with a 1.53 ERA and compiled four saves…The Chiefs are now 11-34 when scoring four runs or less…Peoria turned three more double plays to bring their total to a league-high 75…Dylan Johnston has hit safely in four straight games…Each team turned three double plays…The Chiefs are 12-4 over the last 16 games at O'Brien Field… The series continues on Friday evening at 6:30…The Chiefs players and coaches will be wearing 1908 replica Cubs jerseys that will be auctioned off throughout the game to benefit Make-A-Wish…The first 1,500 fans through the gates on Friday will receive a free Joe Girardi caricature t-shirt presented by Hardee's… The first 1,000 fans attending Friday's game will get a free copy of Baseball America magazine…Following the game will be another Pitch-In for Charity presented by Aquatech Pool and Spas and Little Caesar's Pizza also with proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish…There will be another spectacular post-game fireworks show following the game presented by CEFCU…Peoria will send RH Hung-Wen Chen (1-3, 3.34) to the hill while the Snappers counter with RH David Bromberg (4-4, 4.65)
BOISE, Idaho – Ryan Hill ripped a two-out, two-run single in the top of the eighth inning, sparking a four-run frame, as the Eugene Emeralds rallied for an 8-4 victory over the Boise Hawks before 2,796 fans at Memorial Stadium.
After a two-out error by Hawks shortstop Marwin Gonzalez loaded the bases, Hill took the first offering from Jake Muyco into right-center, providing the game-winner. Emmanuel Quiles would reach on an error, allowing a run to score, and Daniel Robertson provided an RBI single to cap the frame.
The Ems led 1-0 in the fifth, but the Hawks tied the score on a Rebel Ridling home run to left. Eugene would plate two in the sixth to take the lead, but Boise battled back, with Ridling's two-run double giving the hosts the lead.
Former U.S. Marine Cooper Brannan got the win in relief for Eugene.
The two teams meet tomorrow night – with lefty James Leverton going for the Hawks, against lefty Geoff Vandel.
Notes – Boise added David Macias to their roster prior to the game, a draft pick out of Vanderbilt, as Tony Campana was sent to the Cubs training facility to rehab a broken hand, sustained on opening night.

Scouting Today's Starting Pitchers
John Danks – admittedly had command issues Saturday night against the Rockies, but he didn't surrender any runs in six innings. He allowed runners to reach third base in four of those innings, but managed to strand them each time. It's a problem he said he would work on fixing after the game. In the meantime, though, Danks' ERA fell to 2.90 and he hasn't lost a start since May 24. Danks has never faced the Cubs in his career, but is 0-1 with a 5.31 ERA in four Interleague starts.
His change-up is great and his curve isn't far behind, both complimenting his low-90s fastball. Has a good mind for the game.
Tends to leave his fastball up a little too often, leading to home runs. Command has been an issue. Gives up too many hits.
Can be a strong No. 2 or 3 starter.
1-0, 2.66 in last 23.2IP
Pitch Breakdown (Usage) – Fastball (61%), Changeup (20%), Curve (14%), Slider (6%)
Ted Lilly – Although Lilly struggled with command during his last start, the left-hander was able to defeat the Blue Jays in what was one of his best outings of the year. While he did walk a season-high five batters, the left-hander allowed no runs on just one hit over six innings. It was the only start this year where Lilly has not given up a run. As well, the starter has shown signs of improvement lately. Over his last three starts, Lilly has now posted a 2.25 ERA. During that span, he has allowed just five runs on 12 hits over a total of 20 innings. He has struck out 21 batters in that time.
