Concerned with the "Core"
Mar 10
From Our Guest Bloggers darwincore, dublincore, metadata, opensource, pbcore, standards, vracore 4 Comments
I'm not your typical cataloger working deep within the belly basement of a library pounding away at MARC records on OCLC Connexion. Like many recent MLIS graduates, I've found work outside the library- I work for a software firm. It's not entirely out of scope, this firm designs the open source collection management software, CollectiveAccess. I won't turn this into an advertisement for our system, but I will say that the most exciting feature is that you are never locked into a rigid metadata schema. When you download the software you can choose from a myriad of cataloging interfaces, like collection-specific OR standards-based, and even from there you can customize it further to meet your collection or institution specific needs.
For the past 6 months, I have developed all the standards-based interfaces and have become intimately familiar with these schemas. Now I have a bone to pick with what I would like to call the "Core."
When you think of the core of something you visualize the essence, its center, the most basic elements of a thing. "Core" metadata schemas were developed to supposedly capture the most necessary information within a given subject area. Really? Let's take a closer look:
The first and probably the most widely recognized "Core" metadata schema. With only 15 simple elements and a easily understandable qualifiers, DC makes for one flexible structure standard. What I like the most about DC is its rules: no elements are required, and repeat elements as necessary.
Some opponents say that it is too simple, then I say it's not the schema for them. Dublin Core doesn't have to solve the world's metadata problems, but it is a great starting point to begin any form of description. Of all the "Cores." DC really is a Core. Simple and to the point. Descriptive access at it's most basic level.
VRA Core is the structure standard for the cultural heritage (primarily visual culture) community. With 18 elements at its simplest and 53 at its most complex, VRA Core 4.0 can be either basic or complex. It follows DC's 1:1principle, while allowing for the historically interconnected structures of cultural heritage collections. However it confusingly prescribes the Collection / Work / Image relationship. How can these complex relationships be expressed through a 1:1 ratio?
PBCore was developed for the Public Broadcasting community to describe motion picture works. (It's currently in Version 1.2; however the only way to view the update is through a graphic mapping available for download through the website. boo.) Version 1.1 has 53 elements arranged in 15 containers and 3 sub-containers, all organized under 4 content classes. Regardless of the differences between 1.1 and 1.2 – it contains over 50 elements! This hardly seems "core." PBCore controlled vocabularies, called "pick-lists," are ridiculously long and confusing. This schema could be really useful outside the public broadcasting community, but it needs to be edited and trimmed down to the most "core" information required to access these kinds of assets.
And finally we get to DarwinCore the Biodiversity "core" metadata schema. I don't know what to say about this schema. It has so many elements in what seem to be a relational structure; however that structure isn't clearly defined. How many identifiers can be packed into a schema? According to Darwin Core – 22. While I completely agree that biodiversity data requires a metadata schema, I think Darwin Core requires more testing. Its complexity is debilitating.
I could write pages about these schemas, and certainly many people have. But for now I just wanted to rant and rave for a few paragraphs and bring these "cores" to the center of our conversation for this week. Just remember as Prof. Block says, "Standards are like toothbrushes, everyone agrees they're a good thing but nobody wants to use anyone else's.â€
Until next time…
-A. Billey

Comments: I have had three pairs of this shoe (3 diff colors). I wear them all the time. A great trail running shoe, casual shoe and if job permits, work shoe. I highly recommend to anyone. I have been complimented on their look numerous times and will continue to buy them.
From: Jason, Saratoga, NY, USA
Comments: I just ran a grueling 15 mile mountain trail race in these shoes straight out of the box without wearing them in before the race. My feet feel great, wonderful traction, and incredibly comfortable!
From: Brian, North Pole, AK USA
Comments: I love this shoe but would love to see it in a "0 drop " model. Now that I've worn Altra Lone Peaks it is hard to run in a shoe that has any heel height. I find i like "0 drop" as it gives me full range of motion with my fore foot strike and reduces impact. The Cascadia 7 would be the perfect trail running shoe for all distances if it had a protective "0 drop" outsole.

Thanks for the supportJune 21,2013
Thanks for the support
A fund-raising event was held on June 8 at the Montpelier Elks Club to raise money to grant the wish of Lisa Kaiser, a late-stage cancer patient.
Lisa was diagnosed in January 2012 with metastasized (stage 4) breast cancer. Lisa had a mastectomy in 2012 and has been undergoing treatments since then. However, only 20 percent of women with Lisas type of cancer will live five years from the point of diagnosis; Lisa was diagnosed a year ago.
Her wish has been to travel to Disney World in Orlando with her two young daughters and her husband to create fun, loving family memories that will last a lifetime for her girls. The Kaiser family, as well as those of us who organized the event, are very grateful for all the support they were offered and the donations given to make their wish come true.
We are pleased to report that we raised $1,430 online through the fundly website https://fundly.com/lisa-kaiser-benefit-fundraiser, and $4,200 the night of the event through silent auction sales, 50/50 raffles and donations given at the door.
Thank you to everyone who attended, gave what they could, and for the well wishes offered to the Kaisers. It was and is greatly appreciated.

Note: Firm out of business. Remedy no longer available. Consumers should discard the product.
April 5, 2005
Release # 05-148
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: "ALL-PRO", "Reddy Heater" and "MASTER" Infrared (Tank Top) Propane Heaters
Units: About 88,000
Importers: DESA Heating Products, of Bowling Green, Ky., and Scheu Manufacturing Co., of Upland, Calif.
Hazard: The plastic ring on the heater's regulator can crack, causing gas to leak out if the propane tank and heater regulator are turned on. This can create a fire hazard if an ignition source is present.
Incidents/Injuries: The firms have received four reports of incidents involving minor burns to the hand and two cases of minor property damage.
Description: DESA and Scheu portable propane infrared (tank top) heaters with the following model names and number are involved in this recall: All-Pro (SPC-15R & SPC-30R), Reddy Heater (HD15A & HD30A) and MASTER (TT15A & TT30A). Reddy, ALL-PRO and Master Heaters imported by DESA have serial numbers between 016,000,000 and 016,159,999. All-Pro heaters imported by Scheu have serial numbers beginning with a "C" or "D" prefix. The model and serial numbers are on the carton and on the heater. The designation "Made in China" is on the carton and warning label attached to the heater. This recall involves only heaters made in China with the serial numbers listed above and does not include those made in Mexico or in China with different serial numbers. The heaters made in Mexico have the same or similar model numbers, but show "Made in Mexico" on the carton and warning label and use the prefix "M" in the serial number. There have been no problems with the Mexican heaters and they are not to be returned.
Sold at: Home centers and hardware stores nationwide from September 2002 through January 2005 for between $45 and $120.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should stop using this heater immediately. The firm is out of business. A remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard the product.

Quick, what are the first three names that pop into your head when I say the word "guitarist"? Hendrix? Clapton? Chuck Thudfucker? Nothing wrong with that. All three of those guitarists deserve that sort of respect because they've proven that they're among the best to ever pick up the instrument ... well, except Chuck. All that dude did was fuck thuds. I still don't understand what you people see in him.
But what if I told you that in your lifetime, you've seen some of the best guitarists to ever live pass right by, virtually unnoticed, because you were too busy making fun of their wussy bands? And no, I'm not talking about some underground bullshit that you'll only hear about from other musicians -- "What?! You've never heard of Franky Whopflopple and the Hambone Torso? I thought you said you liked music!" I'm talking about big-time bands that at one point in their careers sold out 50,000-seat arenas ...
The Ridiculous Band:
Yep, I'm talking about Winger, the late '80s/early '90s hair band that was relentlessly bagged on by Mike Judge in both Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. The very same Winger that Lars Ulrich is throwing darts at in Metallica's video for "Nothing Else Matters." They're considered one of the last hair metal bands before grunge stepped up in the mid-'90s and stomped that shit out like a wet cigar butt.
If douchebag were measured in weight, we'd all be a part of the singularity right now.
When talking about Winger, it's extremely tempting to dive right into their song about having sex with underage high school girls, "Seventeen." It's what most people remember them for because ... well, it's a song about fucking children. But what most people don't realize is that "Seventeen" wasn't actually their biggest hit. Their two highest-charting singles were ballads called "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away." So while we picture the fully adult Kip Winger trying to knock off a quick one before his girlfriend's teacher notices she's gone and calls her parents and she gets grounded, the band was selling out stadiums filled with big-haired '80s chicks holding lighters while Winger played sappy romance songs.
The Amazing Talent:
Lead guitarist Reb Beach was a studio musician before Kip Winger hired him on with the band, and that's unfortunate on so many levels, because if he had been picked up by a band that wasn't mocked out of existence, we'd probably still be hearing his music on the radio today. Why? Because he happens to be one of the most technical "tap artists" in existence:
That's him on a Winger reunion tour, looking like he's getting steadily angrier as he tries unsuccessfully to find the ticklish spot on his girlfriend. His fingers are just so goddamn fast, and not just in one localized area. For those who don't know how to play, that's pretty important, because it's kind of easy to build up speed over the course of three or four frets. But spread that shit over the entirety of the fretboard, and it's extremely easy to lose accuracy. You go from what he's doing, which is producing a melodic, exact pattern ... to just random bullshit clunking out through the air and annoying the people who gave you money to see you play.
But don't worry too much about Reb. After Winger died, he kept on working, not only in the studio, but on tours with Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Night Ranger and a Winger reunion. He even replaced George Lynch in motherfucking Dokken:
4White Lion
The Ridiculous Band:
White Lion. I understand that this is one of those band names that most people immediately recognize, but for the life of them, they can't place what the fuck they performed. Here, let me help:
Oh, you are so totally welcome for getting "When the Children Cry" stuck in your head for the next five days. Enjoy that. Just make sure that on day three, you stay away from sharp objects and ropes, because I promise you that you will use them.
Here's the thing, though. In the 1980s, hair metal had their formula down pat. You start a band with a pretty boy lead man who isn't afraid to wear skintight spandex. If his cock isn't prominent enough, stuff something down there. Whip out the first single as an upbeat song with heavy guitar and fireworks in the video. Then follow it up with a ballad or two. Instant success. The one thing that all of them absolutely had to have, though, was a ridiculously good guitar player. It was so important that, in many bands, the guitar player shared equal billing with the singer.
Hell, for that matter, most people can tell me what band that is without even showing the guitarist's face.
The Amazing Talent:
White Lion's Vito Bratta was so fucking technical with a guitar, and he put so much effort and passion into what he was doing, he actually injured his wrist while playing, taking him out of the industry for good. He was finding himself playing for 14 hours a day -- coming home from a show and playing two more hours before forcing himself to stop. And not just cheesy little bubblegum riffs, either. We're talking about extremely technical, classical solos that few people in the world have the mastery to mimic, let alone create:
That's him performing a solo that makes other guitarists shake their heads, put down their instruments and quietly mutter "Bullshit" while they consider another line of work. The reason is because he's one of the few people on earth who can seamlessly blend classical and blues riffs without it sounding like a drunken frat dude smashing his balls across random frets. There are Berklee professors who can't do what he's doing there.
He's not the most well-spoken guy in the world, but hearing him talk about it is one of my favorite things as both a fan of guitar and someone who plays it:

Bob Hummer came up with a devastating mentalism principal many years ago. This effect has been a well guarded secret only known by the inner circle of magi... until now.
Three objects, any objects are set on a table. The performer turns his back and asks a volunteer to think of one of the objects, free choice. The volunteer is asked to move the objects around to mix them up. Even though the performer does not know which one has been selected, when he turns to face the volunteer he can instantly name the selected object.
This effect has been sold for hundreds of dollars by other dealers. Now you have the chance to have it for a fraction of the price. The main reason the really clever principle hasn't been used more often is, that it takes a personal lesson to learn. This is where Jay Leslie comes in. With this optimal DVD all, and we really mean all, the angles are covered. You'll be able to learn to completely stump not only your fellow performers but also paying audiences as well. The truth is that you really don't know what card the volunteer is thinking of until three seconds before you name it. You can be out of the room or be blindfolded when they select their card and mix them.
Ask your friends if they know the Bob Hummer principal and they will all say it's virtually a miracle but ask them to explain it and they probably can't. Its a concept that needs explained word for word just like we've managed to film on our DVD. Without this lesson you probably won't have much luck getting someone to give you all. and we mean all, the details. With this DVD you can be amazing and astounding your friends and customers in a half an hour guarenteed.
We supply three cards, printed on heavy card stock, and the DVD but you can use any three objects like:
thimbles, coffee cups, balls, coins, cards, cinder blocks, umbrellas, paper balls ect;
No stooges
No setup
No forces
No tricks of any kind
No peeks
All you need is the ability to count to three, using your fingers, and you can flabbergast, yes flabbergast the audience. We guarantee that you will find the system Bob Hummer invented to be among the top tricks you have ever learned. You don't need any experience to learn this. You can be any age and be a master of the unknown.

text: my lo does pretty well with sippy cups, esp if the smaller ones so they're easier to hold. For variety, I bought her two nuby flip up straw sippy cups with the silicone straws since so many posted how well their lo's liked straw cups. They have built in valves (which I didn't notice when I bought them), but I can't get them to work. I've tried putting water in both and can't suck anything through the straw myself- nothing comes through at all . Am I missing something? I've already destroyed the package, so I don't think I can take them back. I just feel like there's some kind of secret to it or something I'm not getting. I can't believe I'm being outsmarted by a cup...Anyone use these or know how to make them work?

David Hall: The 1939-D is by far the most available Denver Mint Walker of the 1930s. The 1939-D is about the same rarity as the 1939 in uncirculated condition, but is somewhat rarer than the 1939 in superb gem MS66 or better condition. There are many highly lustrous white gems of this issue. Strike is usually fairly sharp with an occasional very light weakness on Ms. Liberty's left thumb. This coin comes nice!

Steve Jobs' cancer and pushing the limits of science-based medicine
Editor's note: There is an update to this post.
An Apple fanboy contemplates computers and mortality
I'm a bit of an Apple fanboy and admit it freely. My history with Apple products goes way back to the early 1980s, when one of my housemates at college had an Apple IIe, which I would sometimes use for writing, gaming, and various other applications. Indeed, I remember one of the first "bloody" battle games for the IIe. It was called The Bilestoad and involved either taking on the computer or another opponent with battle axes in combat that basically involved hacking each other's limbs off, complete with chunky, low-resolution blood and gore. (You youngsters out there will be highly amused at the gameplay here.) Of course, it's amazing that nothing's changed when it comes to computer games except the quality of graphics. Be that as it may, this same roommate was one of the first students to get a hold of the new Macintosh when it was released in early 1984. I really liked it right from the start but only got to play with it occasionally for a few months. After using a Macintosh SE to do a research project during my last year of medical school, I have used the Macintosh platform more or less exclusively, and the first computer I purchased with my own money was a Mac LC back in 1990 or 1991. Today, I have multiple Apple products, including my MacBook Air, my iPhone, and my old school iPod Classic, among others. Oddly enough, I do not have an iPad, but that's probably only a matter of time, awaiting software that lets me do actual work on it.
All of this is my typical long-winded way of explaining why I was immensely saddened when I learned of Steve Jobs' death last week. Ever since speculation started to swirl about his health back 2004 and then again in 2008, capped off by the revelation that he had undergone a liver transplant for a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2009, I feared the worst. Last week, the end finally came. However, there is much to learn relevant to the themes of this blog in examining the strange and unusual case of Steve Jobs. Now, after his death five days ago, which coincidentally came a mere day after the launch of iCloud and the iPhone 4S, it occurs to me that it would be worthwhile to try to synthesize what we know about Jobs' battle with cancer and then to discuss the use (and misuse) of his story. Of course, this is a difficult thing to do because Jobs was notoriously secretive and I can only rely on what has been published in the media, some of which is conflicting and all of which lacks sufficient detail to come to any definite conclusions, but I will try, hoping that the upcoming release of his biography by Walter Isaacson in couple of weeks might answer some of the questions I still have remaining, given that Isaacson followed Jobs through his battle with cancer and was given unprecedented access to Jobs and those close to him.
In the meantime, I speculate. I hope my speculations are sufficiently educated as not to be shown to be completely wrong, but they are speculations nonetheless.

15 NCAA Div. III individual championships
MONMOUTH, ILL.—The Central College men's and women's track and field squads piled up eight wins at the Monmouth Invitational in their regular season finale.
"This has always been a good tune-up meet for us," said coach Joe Dunham. "We were lucky to get some nice weather today and we had some good performances."
Fleming makes NCAA bid—Senior Josh Fleming (Caseyville, Ill., Collinsville HS) racked up a pair of personal bests, including a win in the discus throw with a distance of 162 feet, 11 inches. That mark places him 14th on the NCAA Division III performances list. The top 20 men qualify for the national championship meet.
"Josh had another good day in the discus," said Dunham. "He was able to improve his national ranking."
Fleming also took third in the hammer throw with a toss of 169-3, good for third place, while teammate Steve Messerschmidt (junior, Neola, Tri-Center HS) won the shot put with a personal best of 50-1.25.
Eric Larson (sophomore, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) won the 110-meter hurdles in a season's best 15.25 seconds with Dan Roemerman (freshman, Iowa City, City HS) taking third (15.29). Larson also scored a big personal best in the pole vault with a mark of 14-1.25. Drake Hickok (freshman, Cedar Rapids, Washington HS) won the 400 hurdles in 54.99 seconds with Austin Stubbs (freshman, Pleasant Hill, Des Moines Christian HS) third (57.24). Drew Jackson (sophomore, Johnston) won the 1,500-meter run in a personal best of 3:57.03.
Logan Danko (senior, Centerville) took second (11.09) and third (22.29) in the 100 and 200 meters, respectively. Eli Horton (sophomore, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) ran to personal best in the 800 meters (1:55.91) for second and the 4x400-meter relay of Tyler Westphal (senior, Le Mars), Mason Zimmerman (sophomore, Urbandale), Austin Roberts (freshman, Bloomfield, Davis County HS), and Spencer Hammack (freshman, Ottumwa) took runner-up honors with a time of 3:20.58
Coleman double-winner again—Senior Felicia Coleman (Houston, Texas, J. Frank Dobie HS) played a part in two victories Saturday, winning the 100 meters (12.22) before running the third leg on the winning 4x100-meter relay along with Monica Ruiz (freshman, Hudson), Katie Sunderman (freshman, Pella), and McKenna Zimmerman (sophomore, Urbandale). Their mark of 48.5 seconds was a season's best.
"The women's 4x100 relay ran well," said Dunham. "And Monica had a really good meet. She's been running great lately."
Ruiz also placed fourth in the 100 meters in a personal best 12.92 seconds.
Elin Phipps (freshman, Boone) led a 1-2 sweep of the 800 meters in a personal-best mark of 2:16.09 with Sarah Mueller (sophomore, Urbandale) taking second in 2:21.84. Camie Kibbee (sophomore, Mason City) and Sunderman were third (59.85) and fourth (1:00.01) respectively in the 400 meters while Meredith Zimmerman (sophomore, Urbandale) was fourth in the 100-meter hurdles with a season's best time of 15.99.
The Dutch will travel to Dubuque next week to contest the outdoor Iowa Conference championship meet.
"We've got a big challenge coming up next week for both squads," said Dunham. "Our women will be battling for second place and the men are aiming to defend their conference championship.
The Central men have won the previous four outdoor titles while the women placed second in 2012. The decathlon and heptathlon competitions are slated to begin Thursday at 3 p.m. Field events will begin Friday at 1 p.m. while running events will start at 3 p.m.
"Nothing ever comes easy at this meet," said Dunham. "But I'm confident in our athletes and I think they'll be ready to compete."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEOctober 1, 2009CONTACT: Luke Metzger (512) 479-0388Jerry Haddican (512) 463-0120
Report: Advanced Solar Homes Can Cut Costs in Rio Grande Valley
AUSTIN — With nearly 2.2 million new homes likely to be built in Texas in the next twenty years, a new report finds that building these homes with energy-efficient technology and solar energy systems would reduce homeowners energy bills by $5.4 billiona net savings of $480 per household per year. Environment Texas Research and Policy Centers report, Building for a Clean Energy Future, also demonstrated that homes with energy efficient and solar technologies cut pollution and save water.
Everyone knows solar panels and energy saving measures in the home are good for the environment. Our report shows that they are also good for the pocketbook," said Luke Metzger, Director of Environment Texas "And net-zero energy homes, which combine energy efficiency, clean energy like solar panels, and common sense design aren't something out of the Jetsons, theyre already available right here in Texas."
The report finds that increasing the construction of net-zero energy homes over the next decade such that, by 2020, all new homes met the standard, would contribute significant environmental and economic benefits to the state. The report finds that by 2030, Texas would:
The McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metropolitan area would save 1.47 billion kilowatt hours per year in 2030, avoiding the need for 205 megawatts of electricity (the size of a typical natural gas plant). Homeowners would save $318 million per year on their energy bills.
Because of its fast growth and hot summers, Texas has to get smarter about energy conservation, said Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa. That is why - for the past two sessions - I have pushed legislation to have the State set the example by building high performance buildings. If we move on opportunities like net-zero homes, Texas benefits in the short term by creating local jobs during the construction process and in the long term by protecting Texas families from skyrocketing electric bills.
Two Texas agencies are currently considering rules to help promote solar power and energy efficiency. First, Comptroller Susan Combs and the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) are expected to decide this fall whether to adopt the latest efficiency standards for new homes. The standards would require new homes to be approximately 15% more energy efficient than currently required. Environment Texas Research and Policy Center urged Comptroller Combs and SECO to adopt the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code and require homebuilders to comply within one year of adoption.
Second, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) of Texas will soon consider new requirements on Texas electric companies to provide incentives for homeowners for solar power and energy efficiency. Current law requires electric utilities to offset part of the growth in electric demand with energy efficiency programs, including rebates for Energy Star homes. The group urged Governor Perry and the PUC to create a statewide solar rebate program and to increase spending on energy efficiency by 150%.

Students scoring 18 or below on the ACT or 890 or below on the critical reading and math sections of the SAT have the opportunity to be part of the Bridge Program. As there are only 45 spots available in the program, a student must complete the following steps to be considered for the Bridge Program and accepted to the university:
- An interview – which may be completed in person or online via Skype or Google Hangout
- A writing exercise
- An academic recommendation from a high school instructor
Once a student has applied to the University, they will receive an email with links to schedule an interview and to share with their instructor. When all these steps are completed, the Bridge Review Committee (comprised of OC faculty, Student Success Center and Bridge Program staff, and an admissions representative) will carefully consider all the information provided to OC during the acceptance process (including test scores, high school transcript and GPA, instructor recommendations, interview, and writing sample).


text: Yesterday, the dr said that we should start feeding DD on demand... that we dont have to wake her up anymore to feed her, that she will let us know. Well, the problem I'm having today is that my milk keeps letting down while she's sleeping... I pumped it and we gave it to her in a bottle when she woke up... is this okay? Or should I just not pump and wait for her to wake up? I dont want my milk supply to decrease... help!

I have been feeding my baby but for now he is totally on formula. He had 4oz or more every 2 hours. He put on too much weight and midwife told me not to feed him before 3 hours (as you double the birth weight at 6 months in this case he would be 14lb at 6 months. He is now nearly 11lb and only a month and a half!) so now he is starving after 2 hours so it's really hard to distract him as he screams and screams for milk!
Today I got milk for hungrier babies. Cow and gate.
Is this okay that I got this, maybe he will be more satisfied for longer right?
Iv'e got it now so I'm going to try it later on.

Only in Illinois can an ex-politician who bawled like a baby all day long in front of a federal judge get in front of microphones and say he "manned up".
That in itself made Wednesday's sentencing of disgraced ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, disgraced ex-Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, worth following.
I almost didn't follow the hearing for the reason I enumerated in a February analysis piece and related blog post after the couple pleaded guilty to using $750,000 in campaign contributions as their own personal piggy bank. As corrupt Illinois politicians go, the Jacksons were pretty gosh-darned dull and extremely unoriginal.
And as for the fact that two "social justice" crusaders lived a double standard? Bo-ring. That's the rule these days, not the exception – ask any mucky-muck calling for gun control behind a protective screen of taxpayer-funded bodyguards.
But I relented and glued myself to reporter Natasha Korecki's Twitter feed because I wanted to witness first-hand the end of the short era of truly punishing crooked Illinois politicians. Forget the long sentences imposed on former Govs. George Ryan [Federal Inmate 16627-424] and Rod Blagojevich [Federal Inmate 40892-424]. I knew that those days are over.
As a journalist who has written more than a few stories about Illinois politicians and associated sycophants and insiders going to prison, I can recite the pattern in my sleep: A sob-choked apology, a berating by the judge about shattering what pathetically little is left of the public trust, and then a slap on the wrist. And I wasn't disappointed. Jesse Jr. got 2 1/2 years, and Sandi one year.
How many politicians do you think would gladly go to a minimum-security Club Fed dorm for 2 years if it meant getting to spend $750,000 on vacations, celebrity knickknacks and stuffed elk heads? That's a very acceptable risk for such a plush rate of return.
Better yet, the Jacksons get to stagger their prison terms for their young children. If I stole $750, I'd go to prison for much longer than the 2 1/2 years Jesse Jr. got for stealing $750,000. And if I involved my wife in the crime, I'm sure the judge would laugh us out of the courtroom when we asked to schedule our terms so we could raise our 9-month-old daughter.
(As an aside, I'd like to apologize to baby Grace and all babies everywhere for comparing them to Jesse Jackson Jr. in the lead of this blog post.)
The Jacksons got off light, and they know it. And the signal sent Wednesday to every crooked Illinois politician – and there are plenty – is that happy days are here again for the political class leading the Illinois Orwell Animal Farm, where some animals are more equal than others.
So now that I've brought you down, let's have some fun as I introduce you my proposed Truth in Stupidity Law.
Truth in Sentencing laws exist at the federal and most state levels to make sure that criminals – gasp! – actually serve a good deal of their sentences. Under my proposed Truth in Stupidity Law, a judge can impose an extra year for any offense he or she deems mind-bogglingly bereft of sound judgment.
Under Truth in Stupidity guidelines, Jesse Jr. would have been sentenced to 10 years and his wife 6 1/2 years by adding the following offenses:
• A year each for buying mink coats, spa treatments and vacations while representing an impoverished Congressional district and South Side aldermanic ward. If you're curious and want to see it for yourselves, I suggest calling Delta Company at the Woodstock Armory and asking if they can spare you an armored personnel carrier for a few hours.
(The CO was my best pal in the Army when we were both NCOs, so tell him Sgt. Craver says it's OK. Just bring the APC back with a full tank of gas.)
• A year each for the twosome living in Washington D.C. and not their districts.
• A year each for having a defense team of eight attorneys when 99 percent of their former constituents would have to get the overworked, underpaid court-appointed one.
• A year for Jesse Jr. co-authoring a book with his dad, "It's About the Money!" about financial freedom, in large part through living within your means and not being stupid. This is real – I am not nearly clever enough to make up something like this.
• A year each for that Oscar-worthy performance they both gave Wednesday by crying because they got caught and the Day of Reckoning had finally come.
• A year each for two very anti-Second Amendment politicians buying elk heads. How do they think you kill an elk? By causing it to doubt its self-esteem?
• A year for Jesse Jr. for trying to ruin Van Halen for me by buying an Eddie Van Halen guitar. My baby girl smiles and dances when I play anything from the Diamond Dave era, and the thought of Jesse Jr. laying his corrupt hands on a red Frankenstrat is tough to get out of my head. (No slight intended to Sammy Hagar – I'm working my way with my daughter to 5150 and OU812.)
• A year each for not buying a Velvet Elvis or a large mural of dogs playing poker. No illegal spending spree is complete without a Velvet Elvis. Okay, six months each - I'll give them credit for buying the elk heads.
Don't hesitate to call your state and federal lawmakers to push for my Truth in Stupidity law. Their legislative aides stopped taking my calls some time ago because they're not ready for my good ideas.
And speaking of the federal government, I hope that President Obama resists any pressure he may get in the last weeks of his presidency to pardon the Jacksons. President Bill Clinton in the last weeks of his presidency commuted the sentence of Jesse Jr.'s predecessor, former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds, and pardoned former Rep. Dan Rostenkowski.
If long sentences are out of the question, can we, the frustrated people of Illinois, at least have the scarlet letter that comes with time served?

There you go again cocooned in the top tier. What you fail to mention is many teams in the lower tier at that time were attracting crowds of 3 to 4k. Even teams at the bottom of that tier were getting around a 1000. Now there is not one team in the lowest tier of pro rugby getting 1000 and in the second tier averages are only around 1500.
Define 'Many'

The winners were chosen at random from the 30,000 children throughout the state who participated. In addition five grand prize winners were honored during a pre-game ceremony on the field featuring Wally the Green Monster. "Our summer reading campaign is a grand slam for literacy across Massachusetts," said MTA President Paul Toner. "It's one of the many things MTA members do to help kids achieve – even when they are away from school during the summer." "We are thrilled with the number of students across the state who participated in the MTA Red Sox Summer Reading Game," said Linda McGowan, president of The Hanover Insurance Group Foundation. "I would like to congratulate all of the students that participated in this program. Each and every one of you is a winner and your reward is the fun you had and knowledge you gained from the books that you read over the summer." Three Red Sox Reading Game grand prize winners for 2010 are pictured here with Wally the Green Monster and MTA President Paul Toner: Ethan Hill of Ware, Gregory Jones of Shrewsbury and Katelyn Witt of Franklin. The winners took the field at Fenway prior to the September 4th game against the Chicago White Sox. Not in the photo are winners Kristen O'Dowd of Millis and Manny Rivera of Methuen.

Young and stupid, or so the story goes…
"I knew we weren't taking Tic Tacs"…
Alejandra Villa Newsday
Facing the media in Tampa, Alex Rodriguez admitted that his cousin had introduced him to "boli" under the presumption that it was an over-the-counter substance in the Dominican Republic. The cousin injected Alex with the substance about two times per month on six-month cycles to help him get an energy boost. These cycles were administered from 2001 through 2003 while Alex was a member of the Texas Rangers.
Alex insists that he stopped taking the drug in 2003 and has not taken it since that time.
He opened the press conference with a prepared statement, in which he thanked the Yankees and the fans for their support. The press conference lasted 32 minutes, and was attended by GM Brian Cashman, Manager Joe Girardi, Co-Chairman Hank Steinbrenner, and SVP Felix Lopez, as well as players Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, and Andy Pettitte.
Is this enough? Time will tell. I agree with the comments made by David Ortiz that any player, going forward, who tests positive for PEDs should be banned for one year. That obviously does not apply to Alex Rodriguez and his situation, but the incident occurred six years ago. Major League Baseball is directly responsible for lagging behind the other major sports in implementing and enforcing a strict drug policy. I don't feel the same way about A-Rod that I did prior to the PEDs revelation, however, he does deserve the opportunity to regain our trust.
"I know that I am in a position where I have to earn my trust back," Alex said. "And over time, I am confident, and at the end of my career, people will see this for what it is – a stupid mistake and a lesson learned for a guy with a lot of baseball left to play."
If Alex can stay true to these words, I do feel that he can salvage some of his credibility and gain entry into the Hall of Fame when the time comes (contrary to what Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer may believe). Being "stupid" is no longer a tolerable excuse, Alex. You have to prove to us that you belong…
Meanwhile, in Monday's press conference with Mark Teixeira…
"I watch 'Sesame Street' in the morning," Teixeira said. "And then I watch 'Max & Ruby' at night."
What? He should be BANNED from baseball for a year!
Seriously, we moved from the Rock Star at First Base…
…to Mr. Rogers in the span of one year.
Well, at least Mr. Rogers can hit…
3 Comments
Scott – I was watching A-Rods press conference with my two boys (11 & 14) and their response I thought was very telling:
1. He never said he was sorry.
2. Why is he saying that people who don't go to college would use drugs?
3. He let his cousin inject him with something that he didn't know what it was?
4. Why is he reading a script?
5. We are young and WE know not to use drugs!
Out of the mouths of babes. He didn't score too many points in my house.
And bring on Mr. Rogers – I don't think we ever would have worried about him being a user.
I did not know that Teixeira watched those shows… does he have children? I don't remember them being mentioned… only "Mrs. Tex" convincing him to go to NY. I do use Sesame pictures in my posts sometimes… and I have to admit, I still watch Arthur! I love that show!! I heard that some of A-Rod's statements didn't matchup to the ones he made in the interview with Peter Gammons.
LOL about Mr. Rogers, Scott. I'm glad we've got Tex, because he can actually play first base, but I'll miss the Giambino's 'tude. As for A-Rod, I'm with you on the wait-and-see. Maybe he'll find a way to turn things around and have a great season. I hope so.

Located just 50 miles south of Sacramento, California's capital, Stockton is surrounded by rich farmland and is on the edge of a vast river delta. If you're looking for Stockton hotels, Extended Stay America has several great places to stay, each offering a great rate.
Stockton is an integral city for goods moving into and out of California's Central Valley. California's largest inland seaport, the Port of Stockton, is 75 nautical miles from the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. Just one mile from Interstate 5, the major north - south trucking corridor, the Port handles both wet and dry cargoes.
Included among Stockton's major employers is Diamond Foods, a company that has grown from a small walnut grower into a major international snack food company. Its brands include Pop-Secret popcorn, Emerald snacks and Diamond nuts.
Stockton has several fun activities for the young and the young-at-heart. Pixie Woods is Stockton's fairyland, where you can hop on a merry-go-round, ride a paddleboat or take the Pixie Express Train through Indian Territory. If you are looking for indoor family activities, the Children's Museum of Stockton may be just what you want. This museum features hands-on, play-based exhibits that let children learn as they play.
Stockton is also home to the University of the Pacific, locally called UOP. Because its campus so resembles the Ivy League colleges on the East Coast, UOP has been the sight for several Hollywood films, including Raiders of the Lost Ark. Established in 1851, but having moved its primary campus from San Jose to Stockton in 1925, UOP is the oldest chartered university in California.
Perhaps Stockton's greatest asset is its location. Sitting on the edge of the San Joaquin Delta, one of the world's great deltas, Stockton offers access to fabulous natural beauty and adventure. Throughout the summer, water sports like water skiing, windsurfing and the use of wave runners are commonplace throughout the Delta. This is also an angler's paradise, with massive striped bass, giant sturgeon and a host of other fish in plentiful numbers. Thanks to the Delta's location on the Pacific Flyway, bird watching here is among the best anywhere and done virtually year-round.
Head east from Stockton and you come to what locals call gold country. Home to such towns as Copperopolis, this region is filled with the history of the California Gold Rush. To see first hand what life was like, head up Highway 49 to the little town of Columbia. Standing today as it looked in the 1850s, Columbia brings California history alive.
Thanks to its rich soil and abundant sunshine, the gold country area has become an important wine producing region. This is a sizeable area, so be sure to plan your time among the gold country wineries in advance. If you don't want to drive to the gold country, head 20 minutes north of Stockton to Lodi. Known for producing excellent, reasonably-priced wine, the Lodi wine area should not be missed.
For a day's excursion you will long remember, rise early and take the three-hour drive to the heart of Yosemite National Park. Internationally known for dramatic waterfalls, awe-inspiring vistas and renowned landmarks, Yosemite draws over 3.5 million visitors annually.
If an afternoon of golf is your favorite way of experiencing nature, consider Castle Oaks Golf Club, named "Best Public Golf Course in Northern California" by Golf Digest in 1994. For other golf opportunities in Stockton, check out the list offered on Golflink.com.
For a comfortable, convenient, and affordable hotel in Stockton, California, Extended Stay America has just what you are looking for.

Tactless About TACT: Critiques Without Substance Should Be Abandoned
In May 2008, the article "Why the NIH Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT) Should Be Abandoned" was published online in the Medscape Journal of Medicine. The authors included two of our own SBM bloggers, Kimball Atwood and Wallace Sampson, along with Elizabeth Woeckner and Robert Baratz. It showed that the existing evidence on treating heart disease with IV chelation did not justify further study, and that the TACT trial was questionable on several ethical points. Their ethical concerns were taken seriously enough that enrollment in the trial was put on hold pending an investigation. It has now been re-opened after a few band-aids were applied to the ethical concerns. The scientific concerns were never addressed.
I have seen many critiques of the Atwood study, and not a single one has offered any cogent criticism of its factual content or reasoning. Most of them could have been written by someone who had not bothered to read beyond the title. Their arguments can be boiled down to a few puerile points that can be further simplified to:
(1) I believe the testimonial evidence that chelation works.
(2) Atwood and his co-authors are bad guys.
Now Beth Clay has chimed in with an article entitled "Study of Chelation Therapy Should Not Be Abandoned." I found it truly painful to read, but even the worst has some value as a bad example. Clay's article could be used for a game of "Count the Errors." I will point out some of them below. (more…)

Cats rally for a cause
BURLINGTON If youre still looking for ways to celebrate the season of giving, try stealing a page from the University of Vermont mens lacrosse playbook.
The Catamounts dont kick off their season for another two months, but theyve been busy off the field to help fight hunger in the local community. Members of the UVM squad recently completed a drive to collect more than 100 cans of food, which will be donated to the Vermont Foodbank for the upcoming holiday season. The donated items will go to local community members who struggle to meet their food needs.
The Vermont Foodbank and its partners help as many as 86,000 Vermonters in need of emergency support each year, making it the largest hunger-relief organization in the state. The Cats plan on making the contribution an annual tradition after the successful endeavor this year.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

My DS takes his usual practice bottles a couple times a week since I am going back to work in January. so far his practice bottles are to practice taking a bottle not a practice feeding, does that make sense? What I mean is that we get the bottle ready and give it to him in between feedings so he is more calm (not just woke up screaming ready to eat)
We recently tried giving my boyfriend a trial run for when I will not be home- giving him a bottle as a regular feeding.
For the "trial" it didn't work at all because when he woke up, very hungry and ready to eat, my boyfriend had to then warm up the bottle which just made DS more irritable having to wait and I ended up feeding him. (he didn't even want the bottle when he was that upset).
I'm not sure if this makes sense , but how do we go about getting bottles ready in time for when he will be hungry? He eats on demand so he really could be hungry at any moment. Then I thought about Daycare and what he will go through if he has to wait and rejects the bottle. Anyone have insight?

QUOTE (Matt J @ Aug 9 2010, 10:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Featherstone have a scholarship program, have done for a while I think.
Yes. But to be part of the RFL's scholarship/academy programme - and play the other club's academies - you have to abide by their ludicrous rules with regards to paying scholarship players a certain amount. The amount is set for Super League clubs, but doesn't take into account the financial strain that paying such a high amount would have on Championship clubs.
Fev and others in the Championship tick all the boxes and genuinely want to devote more effort to their academies, but the RFL's performance department are throwing obstacles in their way.
Strangely, other RFL departments can't believe the stance the 'Performance' team (Barrie Jon Mather etc) are taking. Ridiculous.
