The look and feel of Tidal TV will give many television watchers who are used to viewing a program grid with their cable or satellite a sense of familiarity. Upon entering the site, you're greeted by a similar program grid that lets you immediately scroll through what's available.
Ferber's goal with Tidal TV was to create another way for viewers to watch television.
"We're not meant to replace television," he said. "We're extending it. We're trying to reach people where they are."
People spend about 10 to 20 percent of their waking hours in front of the TV, Ferber said. And about 50 percent of their time is spent at a computer.
Ferber's goal is to give those computer users some of the same quality content that they find on television.
Of course, quality is in the eye of the beholder, but Tidal TV has offerings that will not only entertain but inform. And isn't that what the computer should be used for?
Ferber wants his site to be the place for users to go for their relevant interests.
"If you're a food fanatic, you're going to come to our site," he said.
Serendipitous discovery
One of Ferber's marketing catch phrases is "serendipitous discovery."
It's basically a fancy way of how Ferber hopes to capture a lot of his audience.
Most people these days don't tune in ahead of time for a particular program. They, instead, discover while surfing a channel guide, he said. That is serendipitous discovery.
Which is, perhaps one of the main reason the site emulates a cable grid.
Ferber said his site does offer some programming from CBS and CW, but its main focus is on shows with news and instructional content, at least for now.
You'll find a lot of shows from Food Network, HGTV, CNBC, The Weather Channel and National Geographic, just to name a few. If you float your cursor over a show, you immediatley get more information. If you want to watch it, just click. You can also create a list of favorites.
You'll have to create an account to make a favorites list, but if you don't want to, you can just start watching any content Tidal TV has to offer. It's free, thanks to advertising. But unlike a DVR, you'll have to watch those commercials. Well, you could grab a sandwich or take a bathroom break, but fast forwarding to the next act isn't going to happen, so sit tight and enjoy the ad.
This sort of captive watching should make advertisers happy.
Tidal TV won't make you forget about the other sites. And if you missed your favorite program last night, you're not going to find it here. But it is a welcome addition to the streaming video sites that offer actual quality content, with a dash of classic television thrown in for good measure.
And after all, isn't that YouTube video you've watched 200 times getting a little old by now?

Berkeley Heights Environmental Commissioners Leonard Berkowitz and Richard Leister joined representatives from dozens of municipalities at the end of January to celebrate the Sustainable Jersey efforts around the state. Berkeley Heights is one of only 11 New Jersey municipalities that have attained the Silver-level certification.
"To become Sustainable Jersey certified at the Silver level, we assembled a team of more than a dozen volunteers and submitted documentation to show what sustainable actions we had completed," said Leonard Berkowitz, who led the team effort.
The silver certification for Berkeley Heights lasts until 2014. The township wishes to continue its efforts to be among the leaders in the state as a sustainable community. "The Green Team will be reassembling to continue its efforts," Berkowitz said. Some of the projects being considered include:
— Creation of a community garden to provide opportunities for residents to grow vegetables.
— Promotion of programs that provide subsidized opportunities for businesses and residents to reduce energy consumption and thus save money
— Education and promotion of the benefits of reducing unnecessary vehicle idling
— Building a healthier community
Those interested in volunteering, contact the Green Team by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or call 908-790-1552 and leave a message.
Sustainable Jersey is a certification program for municipalities in New Jersey. Launched in 2009, Sustainable Jersey is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that supports community efforts to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental equity. Sustainable Jersey is 100% voluntary and each town can choose whether it wants to get certified and the actions it wants to do in order to achieve enough points to get certified. Sustainable Jersey's participating communities represent over half the state's municipalities and nearly 75 percent of its population.
Sustainable Jersey's partners include the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, the Municipal Land Use Center at The College of New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Program sponsors include the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, BPU, PSEG, New Jersey Natural Gas, Church and Dwight, Covanta Energy, EcoMatters, New Jersey American Water, Real Goods Solar, South Jersey Gas, Terhune Orchards, Waste Management of New Jersey, Atlantic City Electric, Citizens Campaign, Concord Engineering and the New Jersey Food Council.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Some fourth-graders at Hampton Cove Elementary got a special lesson in military service Tuesday when they participated in a video phone call with a service member overseas.
Col. Karl Kraus of Huntsville, who is deployed in Iraq, spent time answering questions posed by his daughter, Abby, and her classmates in teacher Jessica Williams' class, according to the Huntsville school district.
The students had questions for the colonel on everything from football to life in Iraq and what Thanksgiving is like for soldiers far away from home. The video call was part of a treat for the class that raised the most money during the school's "Dimes for the Deployed" project.
Williams' class collected a total of $66 for the fund, the school district reported. That money, along with $584 from the rest of the school and a $100 donation from Abby Kraus' uncle, will go to A Smile for Troops, a local non-profit organization that sends care packages to deployed soldiers.

Your family will love the cool and delicious taste of Crown Creamery Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Great with cookies, cakes, and pies or on its own!
This is a great mint chocolate chip ice cream. Cool, smooth, and creamy with the right amount of chocolate slivers. I like the fact that they use coconut oil and real vanilla in their chips. Great value and tastes better than name brand.
This is the best Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I don't like Breyers anymore since they changed their formula and this has a smooth, refreshing mint consistency with the right amount of chocolate. It also is better than Hagan's and Friendly's Mint Chocolate Chip. It was surprisingly quite good.

Well.. lost all his clothes, at least (according to what he told the people who took the pic below). Not sure of the full details of what happened (though my money is on an airline has lost his clothes). So, once arriving in Cincinnati, it was off to TJ Maxx and Walgreens to replace some items..
Here is a shot of him coming back to the hotel with some items..

There are still others, for example, .
Instead of just trying to come up with examples of homomorphisms, begin with the assumption that is a homomorphism and see what you can deduce from that assumption alone.
Find all the homomorphisms from Z -> Z x Z and Z x Z -> Z.
For the first, I've found and proven the following.
Z -> Z x Z such that a -> (a,0) or (0,a) or (0,0).
For the second one:
Z x Z -> Z such that (a,b)-> a or b (the "forgetful" function) or 0.
So I have found three. Am I on the right track? I have verified that these are indeed a homomorphism.

AFL Star of the Day, Vol. 3 — A pitcher!
Sure, there were some good performances at the plate. Gary Brown had three hits, two RBIs and a stolen base, not a bad day's work for the Giants' No. 1 prospect. Nick Castellanos, the Tigers' top prospect, hit a ninth-inning home run to give Mesa its first win. And Washington prospect Brian Goodwin (No. 3) homered to tie the game in the ninth as Salt River went on to beat Brown and Scottsdale, 6-5.
But Thursday's Star of the Day is a no-brainer, and it comes from the mound.
Kyle Gibson came to the Fall League to continue to make up for lost innings and to regain his form following Tommy John surgery. The Twins' No. 16 prospect would likely be in the big leagues by now if it hadn't been for his elbow woes and he threw just 28 1/3 innings in 2012 as he worked his way back. Well, if Thursday is any indication, he's shaking the rust off quite nicely. Gibson went five shutout innings on Thursday, something that doesn't typically happen this early in the AFL schedule. He gave up just four hits, walked none and struck out eight. He hadn't thrown more than four innings in any outing since he returned from TJ surgery.
AFL Star of the Day, Vol. 2
It's pretty clear that the Star of the Day comes from the Surprise Saguaros, who beat Peoria, 8-4.
Rangers first base prospect Chris McGuiness went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, falling just a triple short of the cycle (in over 1,500 professional plate appearances, McGuiness has just one triple, so this isn't exactly shocking). McGuiness, a product of the Citadel, came to the Rangers from the Red Sox as part of the Jarrod Saltalamacchia deal. He's coming off a solid 2012 campaign in Double-A where he finished fourth in the Texas League in homers and seventh in slugging percentage.
He's playing in Surprise with some of his former organization-mates from Boston. Bryce Brentz, the Red Sox's No. 4 prospect (and No. 70 overall), drove in a pair of runs in Wednesday's game as well.
Elsewhere… Rays OF Kevin Keirmaier stole three bases as his Phoenix Desert Dogs lost in 11 innings to the Scottsdale Scorpions, 6-5. And Salt River homered three times. The Diamondbacks' No. 4 prospect Matt Davidson hit one, and two of the Nationals' Top 20 went deep as well: Matt Skole (No. 12) in the first inning, going back-to-back with Davidson, and Brian Goodwin (No. 3 and No. 67 overall) in the 9th.
Jonathan Singleton, ranked No. 1 on the Astros' Top 20 (and No. 25 overall), also went deep in that game.
AFL Star of the Day, Volume 1
The first day of the Arizona Fall League is in the books and it's time to revive a series I've tried on here in the past — the AFL Star of the Day. I'll admit it's been a challenge keeping it going all Fall, but I'm going to do my darndest to post every day. After a day's games, please feel free to send in nominations in comments or via Twitter (@jonathanmayob3).
Typically a hitting-friendly league, there were some pitchers that deserved serious consideration. The Royals' Justin Marks tossed three hitless innings for Surprise in what ended up being a 5-2 win for Peoria. Chris Gloor of the Giants tossed four innings of three-hit, shutout ball for Scottsdale, striking out five and walking none. In the same game, Shawn Haviland of the A's went three scoreless, allowing just one hit while striking out four for Phoenix. And it was the Desert Dogs who won the game.
But I think I'll stick with some offense for our first AFL Star of the Day: Javier Baez of the Cubs. Ranked No. 23 on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, and No. 1 on the Cubs' Top 20, Baez is coming off of a very solid first full season that saw him reach the Florida State League at age 19 and hit a combined .294/.346/.543 with 16 homers and 24 steals. And he didn't make his 2012 debut until the end of May. Now he's one of the younger performers in the AFL. And all he did was homer and double while driving in three in Mesa's 6-5 loss at Salt River on Tuesday night.

Thanks for all the feedback. I can get a good condition Isonic 133 for a very reasonable cost, so I think that I will go for it
I already have a 2009 Isonic 101, so I will be looking for an Isonic 111 (which is actually 113L)....... Or should I be looking for an isonic 122?
I weigh about 90 KG.... But working hard to get closer to 80 KG
While I am here, can anyone give advice about a 7.8 North WARP; North recommend both a 460 and 490. I far preferred my F10 8.0 with a 460, however I was advised that the 490 actually works better with the 2013 7.8

Big things have happened for Roosevelt County in 2010, according to County Commission Chairman David Sanders and outgoing County Commissioner Gene Creighton, who will finish his second term with the county at the end of this month.
"I have appreciated serving the city and the county for the last eight years," said Creighton. "We've had some rough times but mostly, it's been good. I thank everyone for all their support."
Creighton said construction recently began on the special events center at Roosevelt County Fairgrounds. He said the center was one of the county's bigger projects for 2010 and was a "big deal" for county commissioners and residents.
Sanders said the building will be 275 feet long and 200 feet wide. It will house animals during fair season and will be used for the county fair's Ag Expo. Construction on the building is expected to be completed by the 2011 fair season.
Sanders said another county project related to the fairgrounds is the placing of old windmills, which were donated to the county by the Dalley family of Portales. The windmills will be put up as a tourist attraction.
Two other county projects under construction are a new nurse's center next to La Casa Family Health Center and a senior citizens center inside the La Casa building.
La Casa and the surrounding land are owned by the county.
Sanders said construction on the nurse's building began two months ago and county officials expect it to be completed within another two months.
Construction on the senior center is just now starting and is expected to be completed within six months.
Sanders said work on both facilities is ahead of schedule.
Sanders said another 2010 development was the building south of Portales, which was previously the New Mexico National Guard Armory. It is being leased to the county sheriff's department for $1 a year for the next 20 years.
The county also used a $700,000 stimulus to repave three and a half miles of New Mexico Highway 88.
Sanders said one of the most important goals the county plans to maintain for 2011 is a balanced budget for the county without raising property taxes.
"We've been able to maintain a balanced budget for a long time," said Sanders. "We can maintain what we do with the taxes that are already coming in."
Sanders said the county also hopes to keep the cost of the detention center down for 2011.
Creighton said another big project the county is pursuing for the new year, with the help of the Roosevelt County Community Development Corporation and their director, Greg Fisher, is bringing more industry into the county, especially green energy industry.
Creighton said the goal for 2011 is to try to build wind farms in the Roosevelt County area. One wind farm, San Juan Mesa, already exists in Roosevelt County west of Elida. He said the county is currently looking for land between Dora and Elida to lease for the construction of a transmission line for a wind farm.

Kenzer Lee will be at the centre of the nation's attention when he carries the Olympic Torch through London on Sunday.
The West Ham United first-year professional will run with the flame through his home Borough of Barking and Dagenham after being selected as one of the 8,000 official Torchbearers, joining the likes of Olympic greats Sir Steve Redgrave and Denise Lewis.
The 18-year-old was selected to take part in the 8,000-mile, 70-day long relay for his impressive achievements on and off the football pitch.
After captaining Kingsford Community School to Newham Cup success and skippering the Newham and Essex schools representative sides, the Beckton-born youngster was snapped up by the Hammers as a schoolboy.
The centre-back was a regular for the Under-18s last season, scoring a dramatic winner in an FA Youth Cup third-round victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and made more than ten Development Squad appearances.
Lee, who signed his first professional contract in the summer and appeared in the first-team pre-season match at Boreham Wood earlier this month, is also a regular visitor to his old school, where he mentors young pupils.
"In my application to be a Torchbearer, I just explained what I have achieved so far and that I want to show to others, especially those from under-privileged backgrounds, that if you work for something and have determination and enthusiasm that you can get to be what you want.
"I applied but I didn't really expect to be picked, but then I found out the good news that I had been chosen.
"I am really excited about it. My family and friends will be watching and I think you get to keep a replica of the torch after carrying it. It will be a great experience and something to remember for the rest of my life!"

From the book
BeginningsI was born the third of six children, and the first girl after two sons, on April 1, 1940, in the small village of Ihithe in the central highlands of what was then British Kenya. My grandparents and parents were also born in this region near the provincial capital of Nyeri, in the foothills of the Aberdare Mountain Range. To the north, jutting into the sky, is Mount Kenya.
Two weeks into mbura ya njahi, the season of the long rains, my mother delivered me at home in a traditional mud-walled house with no electricity or running water. She was assisted by a local midwife as well as women family members and friends. My parents were peasant farmers, members of the Kikuyu community, one of forty-two ethnic groups in Kenya and then, as now, the most populous. They lived from the soil and also kept cattle, goats, and sheep.
At the time of my birth, the land around Ihithe was still lush, green, and fertile. The seasons were so regular that you could almost predict that the long, monsoon rains would start falling in mid-March. In July you knew it would be so foggy you would not be able to see ten feet in front of you, and so cold in the morning that the grass would be silvery-white with frost. In Kikuyu, July is known as mworia nyoni, the month when birds rot, because birds would freeze to death and fall from the trees.
We lived in a land abundant with shrubs, creepers, ferns, and trees, like the mitundu, mukeu, and migumo, some of which produced berries and nuts. Because rain fell regularly and reliably, clean drinking water was everywhere. There were large well-watered fields of maize, beans, wheat, and vegetables. Hunger was virtually unknown. The soil was rich, dark red-brown, and moist.
When a baby joined the community, a beautiful and practical ritual followed that introduced the infant to the land of the ancestors and conserved a world of plenty and good that came from that soil. Shortly after the child was born, a few of the women attending the birth would go to their farms and harvest a bunch of bananas, full, green, and whole. If any of the bananas had ripened and birds had eaten them, the women would have to find another full bunch. The fullness expressed wholeness and wellness, qualities the community valued. Along with the bananas, the women would bring to the new mother's house sweet potatoes from her and their gardens and blue-purple sugarcane (kigwa kia nyamuiru). No ordinary sugarcane would do.
In anticipation of the birth, the expectant mother would fatten a lamb that slept and ate inside her home. While the women were gathered the ritual foods, the child's father would sacrifice the lamb and roast a piece of the flesh. The bananas and the potatoes would also be roasted and along with the meat and the raw sugarcane given to the new mother. She would chew small pieces of each in turn and then put some of the juice into the baby's tiny mouth. This would have been my first meal. Even before breast milk, I would have swallowed the juice of green bananas, blue-purple sugarcane, sweet potatoes, and a fattened lamb, all fruits of the local land. I am as much a child of my native soil as I am of my father, Muta Njugi, and my mother, Wanjiru Kibicho, who was more familiarly known by her Christian name, Lydia. Following the Kikuyu tradition, my parents named me for my father's mother, Wangari, an old Kikuyu name.
According to the Kikuyu myth of origin, God created the primordial parents, Gikuyu and Mumbi, and from Mount Kenya showed them the land on which they were to settle: west from Mount Kenya to the Aberdares, on to Ngong Hills...
About the Author-
Wangari Muta Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya, in 1940. She is the founder of the Green Belt Movement, which, through networks of rural women, has planted over 30 million trees across Kenya since 1977. In 2002, she was elected to Kenya's Parliament in the first free elections in a generation, and in 2003, she was appointed Deputy Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 2004, she has three grown children and lives and works in Nairobi.
October 1, 2006
Maathai, a 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, presents a matter-of-fact account of her rather exceptional life in Kenya. Born in 1940, Matthai attended primary school at a time when Kenyan girls were not educated; went on to earn a Ph.D. and became head of the Department of Veterinary Anatomy at the University of Nairobi before founding Kenya's Green Belt Movement in 1977, which mobilized thousands of women to plant trees in an effort to restore the country's indigenous forests. Because Kenya's environmental degradation was largely due to the policies of a corrupt government, she then made the Green Belt Movement part of a broader campaign for democracy. Maathai endured personal attacks by the ruling powers-President Moi denounced her as a "wayward" woman-and engaged in political activities that landed her in jail several times. When a new government came into power in 2002, she was elected to Parliament and appointed assistant minister in the Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources. Despite workmanlike prose, this memoir (after The Green Belt Movement) documents the remarkable achievements of an influential environmentalist and activist. Photos not seen by PW.
The Washington Post
"Wangari Maathai's memoir is direct, honest, and beautifully written--a gripping account of modern Africa's trials and triumphs, a universal story of courage, persistence, and success against great odds in a noble cause." --President Bill Clinton"Wangari Maathai is the rare leader who knows how to create independence, not dependence. On the page as in person, her example makes each of us a little stronger, wiser and braver than we ever thought we could be." --Gloria Steinem"Compelling. . . . A striking reminder that the peace award, more than any other Nobel honor, recognizes success achieved through tremendous adversity." --The Seattle Times"Inspirational. . . . Ms. Maathai will not be beaten down." --The Economist"[Maathai's] story provides uplifting proof of the power of perseverance--and of the power of principled, passionate people to change their countries and inspire the world."

Sometimes you just gotta slide on the ice – Postgame Post for June 9, 2013
Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: pull down your pants, and slide on the ice. – Dr. Sidney Freedman
Yes. He said it….Twice. Once in season three and again in the Finale:
Clinton 9
Wisconsin 11
Boxscore | Game Story
I needed a break and I've been staring at this computer screen while there is a Perry Mason marathon on the TV and that quote from Sidney popped into my head as an ice-breaker for this post.
Baseball is a ridiculous game when you get right down to it. And sometimes…Well, you just have to pull down your pants and slide on the ice. I mean…really…try to keep all this stuff straight without wanting to take a running start to slide down a sheet of ice at the local curling rink.
Tyrone Taylor homered in the first inning to give the Timber Rattlers their first lead since….June 2? The Rattlers led 7-5 at the end of the game on June 2. They were tied or behind for the next…45-1/2 innings.
Taylor with another multi-hit game. That makes an eight game streak in which he is 15-for-30. He also reached base in four of his five plate appearances AND had a heads-up base running play to score a run in the top of the fourth. He is up to .277 from .240 since the streak began on June 1. His slash line in June is .500/.595/.767.
Big hits by Max Walla, Adam Giacalone, & Parker Berberet in the fourth inning put the Rattlers up 5-2.
Eric Semmelhack retired the first two batters in the top of the fifth. He needed one more out to qualify for the win. He didn't get it. Homer, single, stolen base, RBI single, RBI single, and walk knocked him out. Taylor Wall came on and gave up a single and a bases loaded walk to force in a run for a 6-5 Clinton lead.
Fast forward to the eighth inning. The Rattlers are down 8-5. They wind up sending 12 men to the plate and score six runs on … six walks … and some big hits to drive in runs. That made me look like I know what I'm talking about….remember last night: Runs were out there for the Timber Rattlers. They just need that one extra hit.
Well, they got more than one.
Adam Giacalone is on a ten game hitting streak. He knocked in three runs on Sunday. He's at 14-for-41. The double in the fourth inning was lined to right-center. The two-run single to tie the game in the eighth was through the left side of the infield. He's up to .265 from .236 when the streak started.
Orlando Arcia had two plate appearances in the eighth inning. He drew a four pitch walk to start the inning. Then, he capped the frame with a line drive single on a 2-2 pitch to drive in two runs.
There was an issue with the highlights and that's another reason I was waiting to start this post. I really hope that the play Adrian Williams made in the top of the fifth makes it. If he doesn't make that play…who knows how many runs the LumberKings wind up scoring in that inning….at least two more.
I'll post the highlights here if they show up later tonight.

LINDEN -- Chronic traffic congestion can make a trip down Routes 1 & 9 through Union County a frustrating experience. Now the county is commissioning a study to improve the situation, raising hopes among local politicians and motorists.
The six-lane highway, which runs through Elizabeth, Linden and Rahway, is the primary local corridor on the eastern part of the county. Traffic funnels into Route 1 & 9 from the New Jersey Turnpike and the Goethals Bridge, as well as from local roads.
The county is currently soliciting bids from firms to conduct a study to offer suggestions on how to make traveling down the 1 & 9 easier.
"There are two reasons why we're doing it: to improve economic development opportunities and to improve traffic flow," said Union County spokesman Sebastian D'Elia Friday.
Linden residents have been clamoring for something to be done for years.
"During peak times, (traffic) is terrible," said Jorge Lopes. "I have to go to St. Georges Avenue or Linden Avenue behind where the cemetery is, near BJ's. I try to avoid 1 & 9 altogether."
Lopes, who lives a block off of the highway on Linden's South Park Avenue, sees the gridlock trickle down to his neighborhood. During rush hour on many afternoons, cars back up on side streets and come to a crawl.
Linden's mayor said that improvements to Routes 1 & 9 in Elizabeth and Rahway have helped those cities, but haven't solved the problem of speeding along the highway through his city.
"What we're trying to do is have the state realize they have to improve (Routes) 1 & 9 in Linden," Gerbounka said Friday. "You can't improve both ends without improving the middle."
According to a traffic study by the city, a quarter of all accidents between 2003 and 2006 took place on Routes 1 & 9, and there were an "extremely high number of accidents and fatalities," on the same stretch of road.
County officials will accept proposals from firms interested in conducting the study until March 19, and they are looking for suggestions for ways to fix the corridor along its entire length in Union County. D'Elia, the county spokesman, said the study will take between six months and a year to complete.

OK, it's time for a recount.
It was said in this space the other day that the Columbus Blue Jackets training camp roster includes 11 players who had been with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Falcons.
Not quite. Somehow, Ye Olde Scrivener missed an entire second page of the Columbus roster. Upon further review, we find that the Jackets camp actually includes 25 players who have been part of Springfield rosters over the last two seasons.
Some of them – forwards Cam Atkinson, Matt Calvert and Ryan Johansen, defensemen Tim Erixon and Dalton Prout – played much of last season with the Jackets and undoubtedly will be with them when the new campaign starts. Goaltender Curtis McElhinney – Springfield's MVP last season – also seems likely to make the NHL roster as a backup to Sergei Bobrovsky.
That leaves a lot of other talent to be assessed before Columbus brass decides which players will be kept and which will be sent to Springfield.
Whatever the decisions, it appears the Falcons will go into the season with a solid core of experienced players.
The Springfield portion of training camp will start Sept. 22. Some of the players who take part in that camp eventually will give way to cuts from Columbus.
The Falcons will play exhibitions against the Hartford Wolfpack Sept. 27 at home, Sept. 29 at Hartford. Springfield's American Hockey League schedule begins Oct. 5 against visiting Manchester.
ANOTHER deVILLIER: For the second time, the Joe Salvon Memorial Golf Tournament committee will award a scholarship to a member of the deVillier family.
The 2011 award went to Delina deVillier, now a junior soccer player at Elms College. The 2013 award goes to her sister, Alexa, now a freshman at Springfield College.
After Joe Salvon died in 2009, family members and friends decided to have a yearly golf tournament in his memory. The tourney highlight is the awarding of a scholarship to a student-athlete at Cathedral High School, where Salvon played football in the '50s.
The first, awarded in 2010, went to Tristan Fenton, a three-sport athlete who went on to Westfield State University. The 2012 award went to Jordan Monts, now a sophomore basketball player at Regis College.
The 2013 Salvon tourney will be played Sept. 27 at both Franconia and Twin Hills. An awards dinner will follow at Twin Hills.
The tournament committee is led by Bill Kingston, a former Cathedral quarterback and lifelong friend of the Salvon family.
"Joe was the best kind of teammate, because you always knew you could rely on him. He was that way in sports, and that way for the rest of his life," Kingston said.
BEST BET for the weekend: Emotional Kitten, in the Garden City Stakes at Belmont.

A lot is at stake for the United States in its rapidly escalating confrontation with Iran over its nuclear weapons program and its attempt to wage proxy war elsewhere in the Persian Gulf. These considerations go well beyond the overarching questions of whether war with Iran is likely -- or wise (it's not) -- or whether it's even possible at this late stage to deter Iran's drive toward nuclear capability.
Although Iran's threats to block the powerful U.S. Fifth Fleet from the Persian Gulf appear empty, any naval confrontation could send oil prices spiraling. So could a hard line on implementing a new U.S. law that bars U.S. dealings with nations that buy oil through Iran's central bank -- although President Barack Obama, in signing that law, claimed the right to ignore it if it conflicts with his "constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations."
Meanwhile, Syria's increasingly hard line against other Arab nations trying to mediate in its brewing civil war threatens to throw Syria back into Iran's arms -- and could help ignite war along old sectarian fault lines.
Even as sanctions bite, Iran continues to thumb its nose at the West, recently beginning uranium enrichment at a second, more hardened underground site.
Trying to slow Iran's march toward a bomb carries its own perils. On Wednesday, someone -- possibly Iranian dissidents acting in concert with Israel -- assassinated the fourth Iranian nuclear scientist in two years. The United States condemned the attack, but it followed highly effective dirty tricks with contaminated software introduced into the Iranian nuclear program, possibly with U.S. fingerprints -- tactics that could blow back on the United States if others purloin the techniques.

Thatcher though Jews and Tories 'good fit'
According to journalist Charles Moore, whose biography of Baroness Thatcher will be released only after her death, the former PM considered Jewish values and Conservatism "a natural fit".
Her support for Jewish causes derived, he says, from her interactions as MP for Finchley with Jewish people.
He also suggests that, as a Methodist, she drew her "raw political and social lessons from the Bible", and emphasised the influence of Edith Muhlbauer, an Austrian Jewish teenager who, in 1938, stayed with the Roberts family in Grantham, after escaping Nazi persecution.
"It had a significant impact," says Mr Moore. "Edith was probably the first Jew she knew in the personal sense."
Twenty years later, campaigning in Finchley, she infuriated local Conservatives by standing with the Liberals to fight a golf club's exclusion of Jews.
Mr Moore says Baroness Thatcher believed that "the Jews were setting a good example. She liked the Jewish approach to looking out for your neighbours, being practical about money, working hard and being family-minded".
Mr Moore says she was frequently irritated by Anglican leaders "lecturing her on state-ist socialist type solutions to everything. She found people like Chief Rabbi Immanuel Jakobovits more congenial in their way of thinking."
He adds: "The mind-set in Europe now, including Britain, tends to see Israel as basically a problem. She saw it as a good thing - her instinct all the way through was 'thank God Israel is there and we must support' it, rather than 'oh, bloody Israel'."

PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- A Lake County man who pleaded guilty to stealing a Salvation Army Kettle during the holidays is going to feel the Christmas spirit for a long time, thanks to his sentencing.
Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti Thursday sentenced Jeffrey L. Gregg to 180 days in jail, with five days suspended. Gregg must serve five days immediately, but the 55-year-old can avoid the remaining 170 days if he completes 400 hours of community work service in a Santa hat, according to a press release.
Gregg pleaded guilty Jan. 8 to convincing a Salvation Army bell wringer that he was taking over his shift outside the Mentor Avenue Giant Eagle Dec. 21, according to the News Herald. When the ringer left, Gregg left with the charity's signature red kettle in tow.
His sentence is divided into 200 hours working at a food kitchen or helping the homeless, and 200 working in Cicconetti's Painesville Municipal Court garden.
And if anyone asks Gregg about his Santa hat, he must come clean about what he did, the release said.
If Gregg does not complete the community service, he will report to Painesville City Jail in November to serve the remaining 170 days, the release said.
He also is under community control for 12 months and must undergo mental health counseling.

Michigan State had artificial turf installed for one of its outdoor practice fields behind the Duffy Daugherty Football Building just in time for the opening of preseason camp later this week.
Michigan State director of football operations Tim Allen tweeted a photo of the field on Tuesday from the team's new filming tower. Athletic director Mark Hollis told WKAR earlier this month that both projects would be put into place.
The 50-foot tower sits between the two outdoor practice fields and includes a concrete foundation to provide a safer environment for videotaping and viewing practice.
Installation of turf field almost complete. #firstclass. View from new film tower. # gogreen. pic.twitter.com/TcIxGi1AYX— Tim Allen (@TAllenSparty) July 30, 2013
The outdoor field with artificial turf previously had a grass surface. The adjacent indoor practice field had synthetic turf installed in 2002.
The path leading from the outdoor fields to the indoor facility also includes new signage.
"Earn the Jersey," reads the sign directed at the program's players.
And according to Spartan Nation, outside of the training room the team hung up quotes from a Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon radio interview regarding coach Brady Hoke's comment that Michigan State hosting the rivalry game in consecutive years was "not a big deal."
"We can win there as easily as we can win at home," Brandon said.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A logistics specialist hired by the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority to help transform the Lake Erie docks into an international center of commerce resigned Friday after just three months on the job.
Patrick Coyle announced he was quitting his $130,000-a-year job as maritime director in a three-sentence letter to the port authority's president and CEO, Adam Wasserman. Coyle did not return calls for comment about his decision.
"The strategic goals of this institution are not in alignment with my logistical experience and future professional development," Coyle said in his letter.
His abrupt departure came at a puzzling time, just three days after he delivered a much anticipated five-year plan for attracting Asian and European container ships away from congested ports in Boston, New York and Baltimore.
The plan also justified the port's $500-million proposal to relocate to a new 200-acre manmade peninsula north of East 55th Street, and to develop its existing 100-acre home near Browns Stadium into hotels, condos, offices and businesses.
"The timing is right for the Port of Cleveland to embark on an ambitious plan to prioritize maritime as the center of the Port of Cleveland business," Coyle wrote in the introduction to the 32-page plan.
Eight of the authority's nine board of directors did not return calls Friday about the resignation. The ninth board member declined to comment.
Port spokesman Luke Frazier said board members had been told not to discuss Coyle's resignation. But Frazier declined to explain the reason for the secrecy.
The quasi-governmental authority, created in 1968 by Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, oversees the Great Lakes' third largest port, handling nearly $1 billion annually in imports and exports.
Under powers granted by the state, the authority also has helped finance multimillion dollar projects, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
Coyle, 30, of North Royalton, was hired in June, concluding a nationwide search for a maritime director. He was recruited from Exel Logistics, a division of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., where he tracked tire shipments.
In news releases touting his arrival, the authority described him as the right person to lead the port's multi-million dollar expansion at the proposed new site by 2020.
But Coyle didn't take long to realize he had made a mistake. Wasserman said in a telephone interview that Coyle came to him Friday morning and told him the "fit wasn't right," but the CEO declined to get into specifics.
Wasserman did rule out that Coyle's resignation was connected to the business plan.
"This is a pretty complex job and fairly different than the job he did before," he said. "I'm not saying he wasn't up to it, he just said it wasn't what he wanted to do."
Wasserman said he briefed several board members and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson.
"I think everybody is disappointed," he said. "Everybody had high hopes."
Jackson, who appointed six of the nine authority directors, declined to speculate on the reasons for Coyle's resignation or the impact it will have on pending projects.
Jackson said those "operational questions" are better left to the port staff and board.
"My understanding is that he was very good at his job and I wish him well in his future endeavors," Jackson said in an email. "I'm sure the Port Authority will be conducting a search to fill this important position."
Port officials plan to revive the original list of job candidates to see if one is qualified to replace Coyle, Wasserman said. The next search will center more on candidates with both logistics and port experience, he added.

EAST LANSING -- The last time Michigan State played in a Big Ten tournament game, Branden Dawson was watching from a hotel room, where he was recovering from knee surgery and having family members tend to him.
"It was very difficult, sitting in the hotel hurt in bed laying down, seeing those guys play," Dawson said. "It was a lesson learned because those guys went out there, and they competed day in, day out. They just went hard, played hard. A lot of guys stepped up."
The Spartans brought home the trophy after defeating Ohio State in the championship game, and Draymond Green put the net the team had cut down in Indianapolis over Dawson's head upon arriving back on campus.
That brought a smile to Dawson's face, and now he'll get his chance to help the team defend the title as he plays in his first postseason game as a Spartan in today's quarterfinal game against Iowa. Last season was cut short by a torn left anterior cruciate ligament that was surgically repaired, but still affects him mentally and physically.
"I still have not seen him plant and go up on any kind of consistent basis like I know he can," coach Tom Izzo said, adding that at least Dawson has practiced better at times than he has played. "I haven't seen him go after rebounds like I know he can. That's what he did. That's why I recruited him.
"Sometime or another, the confidence light's going to go on, and when it does, I think he can take a monster step forward."
Dawson has not scored in double figures in more than a month and has struggled with his energy level during that stretch. Postseason play is a motivating factor for Dawson, who saw last season get cut short due to major knee surgery.
"The big motivation for me is to just finish the season out," Dawson said. "I get a chance to play in the Big Ten tournament for the first time and also the NCAA tournament, so it's definitely motivation for me. And Coach said the same thing. If I'm not motivated for this given this opportunity to play, there's something wrong.
"We have one goal, and that goal is to win a Big Ten championship."

The Indians in this country are a very elite group, the smartest of their society. They do not represent the typical Indian on this earth. In fact, 90% of all Indian Americans are either professionals/students or their children. Having a brain drain problem is nothing to be proud of.

LOL you're stupidity and inferiority complex has gotten the best of you. Let's take a review shall we?
"Yeah i see why u want Indians out of here"
Mistake #1 Where/When did I state that I wanted Indians out of here? America is a free country so by all means pursue all the education you can get regardless of skin color.
Mistake#2 You're inferiority complex has deceived you. Stating that if I were an Indian, I'd be more concerned about the poor shape of India's current situation economically is a lot different than wishing all Indians out of here. Sad to say, most non-resident Indians have done little to nothing to help out India's current economic predicament. Most of their elite leave and get prosperous somewhere else. That is something that no one can deny. Just take a look at how India is doing compared to the rest of Asia and you'll see what I mean.
" -- so it can free up some space for you to go the elite colleges!"
HAHAHA what in the world are you talking about? Even the top of the top Indians hardly make that much of a difference of the student population at any top school. Don't get me wrong, I see quite a few Indians at my school and I'm sure there are alot at any school, but enough to take away spaces from white boys like me? I think not.
"lol! You know you have no chance if there are indians here."
Well considering that I and many of my other non-Indian counterparts have successfully received admissions to many top schools, I guess that refutes your little theory now doesn't it? Please do yourself a favor. First take your inferiority complex and your list of non-sensical myths and flush them down the toilet and secondly get educated on the topic before competing with a real time pro like me :-)

Some interesting facts for you :
just to point out.. who the hell said india is doooing sssssooooooooo badly compared to the rest of asia? Ahem so we dont have highrise buldigns.. so what?? we still have a postive economic growth rate even tho some other nations dont. recent economist analyzed and said the reason india isnt doing os well is cuz pppl save up the money and dont use it, hence the money doesnt circulate!!! can u belive that? Its very easy for you sitting in the USA. North America has most of the wealth of the world. Its not so easy if u come to asian coutries like ours, which dont even have that many resources. Plz, u dont kno enough about india to talk. So dont talk. Braindrain sucks. true. I agree that many nri indians suck with the patriotism. But our generation promises a change. the reasons for my conclusion i dont wish to elaborate, its pointless anyway. and oh another thing, its not so mcuh something most of even the rich ones can help to do about indias poor conditions. its bad condition is basically due to politics. Do u kno that most of the so-called religous wars are sparked off due to political instigation? im thinking that the only thing that can help that is if we have another mutiny, war against the government or something. sheesh. any indain out there that wants to join me and make a political party? im sick of the presnt ones.

I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with anyone: Yes, it's true that many NRIs are not very patriotic. But I certainly am not one of them. It really incenses me when people assume that because I am an NRI, I'm not patriotic or loyal. First of all, my father was requested to come here (to the US) to better the business here. We were not eager people just dying to come here. I've lived in America for the past 9 years (I'm 17), and I am just as loyal to India as any Indian living there. I return to India every year for 3 months, my parents donate immense amounts of money and other aid to poor Indians, and while in the US and India, I attend and conduct pujas and other activities...including Bharatnatyam. I like aspects of the US and India, and my message on this post would be: please don't pretend like you know enough of any country unless you have lived in that country for atleast 1 year of your life.

The Ivies have rejected people with much higher scores so it's nothing new trust me. A friend of mine was rejected from Harvard with a 1520 and a 4.72 GPA.

Concerned about the world,
Wrong wrong wrong, China makes up the most and then Japan following Korea.
Not to mention students from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore are technically Chinese so that would even more to the overall bunch.

Jan 25th SAT SCORE: 640V 790M = 1430
Well, Im from India and intend to apply for transfer admission. Guess i just blew my chances. It didnt come as a shock, i was disappointed after the test. Im pretty good at Math(Im an engg student) but always lose due to careless mistakes. Im bad at verbal. Never read novels. After finishing barrons wordlist and 10 real SATs, i was scoring 660V-720V. But Jan test was way too hard for me. Anyway, i dont think i deserve more than what i got in verbal, for my ability. I took the decision of taking SAT suddenly and had just over a month to prepare. Do you guys view my score as good/bad? I think the score is good but not good enough for what i intend to apply for. Do u think ill be wasting money by applying? Please advise.... I have a 293 in TOEFL. I got a 99.9998 percentile in the undergraduate qualifying exam in India (thats 26th Rank in EAMCET(Andhra Pradesh), ALSO: 16th rank in Karnataka CET, 96% in 12th grade and qualified in IIT-JEE). My academic scores here are good. But thats all that I have. No ECs. I didnt even take SAT IIs cos by the time i realised i had to, i had passed the deadlines for registration. Next chance is in MAY. That will be too late i guess. I would really appreciate it if anyone could advise me on which colleges to apply. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee........

uhm.... I don't want to offend you, but I'm half taiwanese half japanese, and in Taiwan, if you say that taiwanese are technically chinese then your parents probably will disown you..... or is it just my family....? Many taiwanese are VERY sensitive to the topic of whether or not they are "chinese"......

"uhm.... I don't want to offend you, but I'm half taiwanese half japanese, and in Taiwan, if you say that taiwanese are technically chinese then your parents probably will disown you..... or is it just my family....?"
Uhh Taiwanese people are Chinese. Do you even know what the official name for Taiwan is? The Republic of China. The official language in Taiwan is also Mandarin Chinese so give it up. Deny it all you want, but Taiwanese are technically Chinese. They speak the language, practice Chinese customs, have Chinese names, and descended from Chinese ancestors by blood.
"Many taiwanese are VERY sensitive to the topic of whether or not they are "chinese"......"
True but the thing is they are Chinese no matter what anyone says. The reason they are so sensitive about the issue of being Chinese is because they are very anti-commie China. The CCP in the past and nowadays obviously have not been very kind to the Chinese people. Because Taiwan is democratic, they obviously see something like that as a disgrace to their culture and want no part of it. The problem with that though is that they need to realize it's the corrupt CCP they should be ashamed of because the average Chinese citizen obviously hates the CCP just as much as they do, they just can't voice about it (Remember the last time it happened, they got run over by tanks).

Needadvice: That's brilliant! Yeah, your verbal scores aren't great compared to your other stats, but they're decent too. Just mention all your stats in your applications. Don't put too much of a hope on Harvard/ Princeton/ MIT, though... but I'm sure you can make to schools like Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, Washington in St. Louis, etc. (They're good schools too!)
And even if you don't get into your top choice school, don't sweat. You can make a great job of your education in India...you're obviously capable of doing brilliantly. Believe me, US undergrad is over-rated. Get through your engineering with good grades, and you can get into a top school in the States for Grad, which really counts.

There isn't; America is just one big ethnic enclave of different cultures descended from parts all over the world. Race itself is cultural not biological. Nobody can claim to be pure anything, you might ask well why do people look different then? Easy, demographics and you can also add that our society loves to label people or categorize people. So all this racism, ethnocentrism, etc. is all a bunch of if you ask me.

Dear Friends:
In a word there is everything we are and all that we could be. Then there are all the things we could have been. My friend, it lays in the property of a single word that is differen't for each of us but the same in spirit.
This is hard for most of us to realize because the source of this unlimited personal power is buried so deeply beneath the bills, the car pool, the deadlines, the buisness trip, and the dirty laundry that we have difficulty accessing it in our daily lives.
Some have it all.....talk human.....I'm also a proud Indian...but hey.....Lets not forget that....Skills pay.....and he (God) gave this element of skill to every one.

Council questions cost of reorganizing fire department
Discussion moved to action last week as Oak Harbor Fire Department Chief Mark Soptich asked the City Council for permission to reorganize the fire department at a cost of $118,000.
Under the new plan the department would lose two positions, one part-time and one full-time. The money saved would be negated by the addition of one full-time, seven paid on call and one volunteer positions.
In addition to the new positions, the plan provides a framework for improved personnel management, better-defined individual responsibilities and promotional opportunities for both full-time and paid-on-call personnel, Soptich said.
The city's growing population, annexations, new construction, increased calls for service, growing number of fire and life-safety inspections and room for an improvement of command duty responsibilities initiated the discussion for a department reorganization, Soptich said.
The old system can no longer safely support the city and the span of control is not really where is should be, he said.
"It has not kept up with the growing demands of our community."
But there's one small detail that has yet to get worked into the reorganization: funding.
There's no room in the Oak Harbor's biennial budget for that kind of addition without affecting another organization, said city Finance Director Doug Merriman. The proposal worried councilmembers and sparked a lenghthy discussion about how the reorganization may be funded.
If the reorganization is approved, the council would have several options to fund the proposal, Merriman said. Those options may include changes to existing operations or cuts to other areas of the general fund, he said.
But Merriman's suggestions did little to ease council members' concerns.
"I don't have a problem with the reorganization," Councilman Jim Campbell said. "I'm just concerned ... where can we get funding without — I hate to put it this way — raping another organization."
Both councilmen Rick Almberg and Bob Severns requested additional time to study the proposal and review possible funding sources.
"I need more time to really digest what the other alternatives are and where the money will come from," Almberg said. "Is this sustainable? I don't have any information that supports that at this moment."
Severns postulated another alternative to support the fire department's proposed reorganization. The plan itself may have to be tweaked to reduce its cost, he said.
"I'm all in support of this proposal, but I'd like to see it back in committee to identify a source of funds," Severns said. "I don't think it's fair to move forward without going back to staff to figure out the funding part of it."
The final motion, made by Councilman Danny Paggao, sent the proposal back to city staff, the public safety committee and the finance standing committee for further review.
Councilmen Severns, Almberg, Campbell, Paggao and Eric Gerber voted for the motion that passed unanimously. Council members Beth Munns and Jim Palmer were absent.

Honeymoon In Rio: Sao Paolo Legalizes Gay Marriage
This week a judge in Brazil approved the country's first officially recognized same-sex marriage.
Following an earlier ruling by the Brazilian Supreme Court, Sao Paulo state judge Fernando Henrique Pinto ruled two men could convert their civil union into a legal marriage.
Henceforth, same-sex couples in Sao Paulo will be able to automatically register their marriages without the need for a court order. The ruling even extends to foreign couples, which means the South American hotspot could turn into even more of a gay-travel destination.
In October, 47 gay and lesbian couples participated in a mass commitment ceremony.
"This week a judge in Brazil approved the country's first officially recognized same-sex marriage."
This is WRONG. The frist same-sex marriage was 1.5 years ago. AND, it is Sao Paulo, not Sao Paolo.
When getting news from another source…. be sure that it is the original source. Otherwise incorrect information gets passed on from one LGBT website to another.
I'll just cut-and-paste from Wikipedia and give you the original source too.
"On June 27, 2011, a Brazilian state judge approved what the court said is the nation's first same-sex marriage. São Paulo state Judge Fernando Henrique Pinto ruled that two men could convert their civil union into a full marriage. Brazil's Supreme Court then cleared the way in the following May for the recognition of same-sex civil unions, but stopped short of approving same-sex marriages." = BRAZIL'S FIRST SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
"On December 18, 2012, the Court of São Paulo ordered all the state notaries to convert civil unions into marriages for same-sex couples, or even grant full marriage if the couple isn't in a civil union. Those licenses don't need judge's approval, they are granted directly." = NO NEED TO GET A STABLE UNION (CIVIL UNION) FIRST. CAN GET MARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY VIA NOTARY (CARTORIO) OFFICE WITHOUT REQUIRING A CONVERSION VIA THE COURT.
WHICH SAYS (TRANSLATED): "The Court ruled on Tuesday (18) that all notaries in the State of São Paulo will be obliged to register the civil marriage of homosexuals without the need of a previous court order."
"With the measure, the gay couple no longer need to register before ordering stable marriage. Now, just as the couple go to the court and ask the wedding registry.
Also no longer need to go to court to ask for marriage or conversion of a stable union."

I've been using LRS for the past 12 months of owning a Mustang and couldn't find a better company to deal with. I've placed many orders with these guys and shipping rates have always been MORE than competitive, delivered on time, and the customer service is outstanding - even when I make a mistake myself, they rectify the situation in my favor. I will definitely continue to deal with LRS in the future.Jeffposted 7 years ago

The Metro Cruise is a popular event that draws people from near and far. It could be more successful with better planning, says Gord Gibbs.
In a letter to the editor, the Wyoming resident says he would like to see the city of Wyoming implement traffic controls to avoid gridlock.
Here is Gord Gibbons' letter:
Again this year I was disappointed to see where Wyoming made no effort to enhance the Metro Cruise. Fact is, they should rename the cruise to 28th Street Gridlock!
Why doesn't Wyoming embrace such an opportunity as large as this attraction brings to the area? Absolutely no traffic control efforts were made to help classic cars "cruise."
The parking in the Rogers Plaza area was a joke and I don't understand why any car owner would park their prized cars as they were parked for display, way to close together. Others mixed in the north/south rows with shopper and spectator cars, these made viewing very difficult.
Wake up Wyoming or give up the cruise so somebody else can take advantage of hosting the event. As a classic car owner, I won't be excited or looking forward to next year's Metro Cruise.
Kudos to lawamkers who supported expansion of Medicaid
Kudos to the Republican senators who, together with the 12 Democrats, supported the expansion of Medicaid. Because of that vote, nearly half a million hard-working Michigan citizens will have access to primary health care that otherwise would not have been able to afford it.
RELATED: Medicaid expansion bill: West Michigan state senators vote no
That is what makes Sen. Walker's (R-Traverse City) comment so perplexing. To what liberty and freedom is he referring? The freedom to be prevented from seeking health care in a timely fashion because of income limitations? That sense of liberation felt by everyone who chooses food for their family over health care because they can't choose both? This isn't, as Senator Colbeck (R-Canton) puts it, "picking winners and losers." Just winners. This isn't "billions of dollars being taken" away from you and me (by the way, Senator, the proper pronoun is "me," not "I").
This is all of us supporting each other. This isn't the worst that government has to offer; it's the best – using our combined resources to provide a real good to all citizens, not just the ones with big contribution checks

Gov. Snyder fallen into President Obama money trap
By pushing to get the Medicaid program in Michigan expanded, the Governor has fallen into the President Obama money trap. Even though the feds have agreed to subsidize the additional costs "for a while", the federal money (our tax money) can be withdrawn at the whim of the President and Michigan citizens will be left holding the bag.
Only the bag will not be filled with money as predicted by some legislators, it will be full of new Medicaid participants. In the bag will also be seniors previously on Medicare who will be shifted in 2014 to Medicaid if they make less than $85,000 a year income while Obama continues to take over $700 billion out of Medicare.
I predict the federal subsidy will end either right after the 2014 elections or when Obama leaves office....if he ever does. Michigan then has two choices: Either dump the additional Medicaid folks, which won't happen, or.get stuck trying to pay a much larger share for all of the new Medicaid participants and possibly going into bankruptcy or.drastically raising taxes on our already overtaxed Michigan citizens and businesses.
President Obama is effectively buying off states to help him continue to cut Medicare participants and the associated costs. We are coming close to his dream he has discussed before....having a single payer health insurance system, and the payer will be the federal government.
May God have mercy on us!
Obama isn't first U.S. president to push for health care reform
Obama Health Care?
Why is it some individuals and politicians oppose national health care?
The news media and opposition to the United States National Health Care Act, refer to it as ObamaCare? The correct term for the legislation is the United States National Health Care Act.
Nine of the past ten presidents pushed for some type of national health care including five Republican presidents. For over 60 years, presidents recognized the need of some type of national health care (to support this statement please check the following web sites). Only Ronald Regan didn't support some type of health care program.
Only one president had the opportunity to sign health care legislation that eight other presidents tried to establish during their presidency.
• Lyndon Johnson's Health Care Plan:
• President Truman's Health Care Plan
• President Eisenhower's National Health Care Proposal
• President Ford's Health Care Proposal
• President Regan's Health Care Program
• President George W. Bush's Health Care Proposal
• President Clinton's health Care Proposal
• President George H.W. Bush Medical Proposal
• President Barack Obama's Health Care Plan

Don't give it to them? These words came near the end of a column that used about 40 inches of column space on the Sept. 1, 2013 opinion page. Plus, you ran an "action" shot of her in concert and a mug shot of her mugging for the camera on the red carpet.

The Cairo club who lifted the Champions League a record four times were ahead within nine minutes, when national team midfielder Medhat Abdel Hady converted a penalty.
But the Ethiopians levelled 10 minutes later through Anwar Yassin and all Zamalek had to show for their second-half dominance of the first leg was a 72nd-minute winner from Abdel Halim Ali.
Coffee caused a Champions League sensation two years ago by eliminating the other great Cairo club, Al-Ahly, and will fancy their chances of completing a double when the clubs clash again in three weeks.
Club Africain of Tunisia, beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Africa Sports of Ivory Coast in the 1999 Cup Winners Cup final, defeated Etoile of Congo 4-2 at home in a thriller.
The Congolese led within 60 seconds of the kick-off only for goals from Noomane H'mida, Sabri Jaballah and Farouk Trabelsi to put the North Africans 3-1 ahead entering the closing stages.
Etoile cut the deficit before Riadh Jelassi, who collected a Cup Winners Cup medal with Tunisian outfit Etoile Sahel three years ago, snatched a potentially crucial fourth goal on the stroke of full-time.
Saint Louisienne of Reunion virtually clinched a place in the last eight with a 2-0 win over Al-Merreikh in Sudan through goals from Sylvio Gado and Rina-Josephson Rasolosoa.
Ndiambour of Senegal, shock first-round conquerors of Ivorian club Asec, could not recapture that form against Angolan visitors Esperanca Sagrada and had to settle for a 0-0 draw in the northern town of Louga.
Another three games are scheduled for Sunday night between Canon Yaounde of Cameroon and Zamsure of Zambia, Royal Armed Forces of Morocco and Rayon Sports of Rwanda and Al-Ittihad of Libya and SuperSport United of South Africa. - Sapa-AFP

Counterfeit 'Cat Poop' Coffee??
Scientists have developed a test to determine whether or not a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee of Indonesia is counterfeit. The test shows that the beans have passed through the alimentary tract of the Asian palm civet, a cat-like mammal. The process gives the beans their unique flavor and enables Kopi Luwak to sell the coffee for $80-per-cup and $150-per-pound.The fact that people will pay exorbitant amounts for real Kopi Luwak has led to a thriving black market in fake Kopi Luwak. Some people sell regular coffee beans and claim they are the famous civet coffee.
Where do you start with a story like this?
–People pay BIG money for this? WHY?? I like coffee too, but I'm good with a Dunkin' Donuts or Folgers blend.
–I've got a cat. Sure not eating ANYTHING that comes out of him!
–Scientists were paid to develop a test to stop counterfeit cat poop coffee. Good thing all the world's diseases have been cured so these guys can develop this test. WTH?!?!
So what's your take? If offered a cup of this coffee, knowing where the beans come from, would you drink it?
