Sanders praises filibuster compromiseJuly 16,2013
Staff and Wire report
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders reached a deal Tuesday to preserve the filibuster in exchange for Senate confirmation of President Barack Obama's long-sought first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well as most other stalled nominees.
The Senate then voted 71-29 to begin debate on the nomination of Richard Cordray, the acting director of the consumer bureau, which could last for up to eight hours before a final vote in which he would need only 51 supporters for approval.
The other nominees include Tom Perez to head the Labor Department and Gina McCarthy to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
Under the deal, the Senate put aside two nominees for the National Labor Relations Board whom the president appointed during a Senate recess, Richard Griffin and Sharon Block. But organized labor is to be allowed to recommend their replacement nominees, who will receive confirmation votes before the end of the month.
Obama had installed Cordray when the Senate was in recess, angering Republicans.
Sen. Bernard Sanders welcomed the agreement but warned that more must be done to end gridlock in "a seriously dysfunctional Senate."
"I am pleased that an agreement has been reached in which President Obama finally will get Senate confirmation votes on his nominees to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Labor and the Environmental Protection Agency.
This agreement also provides that new nominees for the National Labor Relations Board will be rapidly confirmed," Sanders said.
"While this addresses an immediate need for the president of the United States to have his Cabinet and other senior officials confirmed, we should be clear that the agreement only addresses one symptom of a seriously dysfunctional U.S. Senate," Sanders added.
"The issue that now must be addressed is how we create a process in the Senate which allows us to respond to the very serious needs of the American people in a timely and effective way. The United States Senate cannot function with any degree of effectiveness if a super-majority of 60 votes is needed to pass virtually any piece of legislation and huge amounts of time are wasted eating up the clock with parliamentary tactics meant only to delay for delay's sake. Now is the time for real Senate rules reform."
Historically, filibusters are extremely rare. The Senate operated under an understanding that only in unusual circumstances would a rule be invoked requiring 60 senators to cut off debate. Since Obama has been in the White House, however, filibusters have become commonplace.
Having once spoken on the Senate floor for eight and a half hours against extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy, Sanders said he respects the rights of the minority.
"In my view, if a senator or a group of senators are strenuously opposed to legislation they have the right and duty to come to the floor and, for as long as they want, engage in a talking filibuster by explaining to the American people the reasons for their objection.
They should not, however, continue to have the right to abuse arcane Senate rules to block a majority of senators from acting on behalf of the American people," he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed confidence that a broader deal was in fact within reach, even if it would leave open the possibility of future filibusters of Obama's executive nominees. Reid had been threatening to change the rules, to bar such filibusters.
Senators are not questioning the ability to keep using filibusters — in which 41 of the 100 senators can block action — on legislation and judicial nominees, who seek lifetime appointments.
"It is a compromise, and I think we get what we want, they get what they want. Not a bad deal," Reid said on the Senate floor.
The developments unfolded the day after a closed-door meeting of nearly all 100 senators, eager to avoid a rules change that could poison relations between the two parties.
The deal marks a retreat by Reid from his insistence Monday that Republicans promise not to filibuster future executive nominees.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell had privately offered to clear the way for the currently contested nominees — providing Block and Griffin were replaced — said officials in both parties. That's largely the deal Democrats agreed to Tuesday.
Reid credited Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., with helping broker a breakthrough.
McCain told reporters it was "probably the hardest thing I've been involved in." Noting the Senate recently passed a bipartisan immigration bill, he said, "Maybe we can show more momentum toward bipartisanship."
McCain said he spoke over several days with Democratic and Republican senators, and with Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. "At least 10 times it came together and then fell apart because there's always some new
wrinkle," McCain said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday, "We would be glad to see a resolution that results in speedy confirmation of the president's qualified nominees for these positions that have been at issue." He credited senators for the breakthrough, but added that the White house "provided information and answered questions."
Democrats acknowledged that a rules change probably would have prompted Republicans to retaliate by doing even more to reduce the minority party's rights if the GOP regained control of the Senate. That could happen as early as 18 months from now, after the 2014 elections.
"It's a decision that, if they actually go through with it, they will live to regret," McConnell had said.
Unlike the 435-member House, the Senate has a long and bumpy tradition of granting rights to minority-party members. The most powerful tool is the filibuster, which can kill a measure by using endless debate to prevent a vote.
The mere promise of a filibuster can block Senate action on almost anything unless 60 of the 100 senators vote to overcome it.
Filibuster-proof majorities are rare, and Republicans now hold 46 Senate seats.
Both parties have accelerated their use of the filibuster threat in recent times. Since Obama took office in January 2009, Republicans have threatened filibusters repeatedly, infuriating Democrats.
Reid said Lyndon B. Johnson faced one filibuster during his six years as Senate majority leader. In the same length of time as majority leader, Reid said, he has faced 413 threatened filibusters. The tactic, he said, blocks action on routine matters that Congress once handled fairly easily.
Asked Monday if Obama worried that a filibuster rule change would make the Senate even more dysfunctional, Carney said, "Well, it boggles the mind how they would achieve that."
This notion that things can't get much worse in the often stalemated Senate seems to have convinced numerous senators and interest groups in recent months that there was little risk in talking about changing traditions to end at least some of the logjams.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who helped broker the compromise, told reporters Tuesday, "I'd say 90 percent of the Senate is happy."MORE IN This Just In

I recently lost my grandmother and it is very difficult for me. I have been ok emotionally right now, but the services are Saturday... will this affect my BF?
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.
I guess I don't really understand the question. Do you mean will your grief affect your breastfeeding? Or will you attending the services affect your breastfeeding? The answer to the first is that grief will not, and unless you decide to leave the little one at home...it won't, but you may get engorged.
My condolences on the loss of your grandmother.
Some mothers may hear that their emotional state affects the quality or composition of their breastmilk, but this is not true. Being upset or sad will not affect your milk, and as long as you keep your baby close and breastfeed as you are already doing successfully, your breastfeeding relationship will not suffer as you weather the storm of grief and loss.
Many mothers find that the hormonal release of milk letdown helps to calm and soothe them during emotionally stressful times. I hope that this will be helpful to you this weekend.
Don't hesitate to post with any other questions or concerns.
I'm so sorry for your loss ... Here's a site that has some relavant info:
"Around the world, breastfeeding mothers face stressful situations within their families, during natural disasters, and during wartime. And, as with Roberts, that stress can affect breastfeeding. "The mother in a stressful situation may say that she has 'lost her milk,'" according to THE BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK. "It is not unusual for breastfeeding mothers to notice a temporary drop in their milk supply or a delayed or inhibited let-down, or milk-ejection, reflex when they are under great stress" (Mohrbacher and Stock 1997). The drop is temporary, however, and with time and conscious efforts to relax, a more normal milk ejection reflex will occur."
no info, just s your way.
I've lost two of my grandparents since DS was born, and I just wanted to mention that you might notice a change in BFing pattern depending on how your lo responds to stress and being around a lot of people. The first funeral was when he was 3.5 weeks old, and that night he nursed and nursed and nursed, then puked all over me (his little tummy got too full.) The second one was at 10 months, and he didn't much nurse all day (making for a very uncomfortable mommy!).
Sorry for your loss...hope everything goes well tomorrow.

- Managing innovation and learning in dynamic environments
- Author(s)
- Grimpe, Christoph; Sofka, Wolfgang; Saee, John
- Abstract
- A broad stream of management literature has focused on resource-based firm strategies for achieving competitive advantage (Barney, 1991; Conner, 1991; Peteraf, 1993; Wernerfelt, 1984). However, relatively little is known on when and how these strategic resources can and should be activated. Gaining a head-start over competitors requires timely responsiveness, reaction to market intelligence as well as rapid and flexible product innovation (Kohli and Jaworski, 1990; Brockhoff, 1997). At the same time, competitive pressures from globalisation have forced firms to make every effort to streamline and rationalise their workflow (Franko, 1989). This has often led to outsourcing and offshoring strategies, that is, the shift of labour-intensive manufacturing to countries with significantly lower labour costs in order to decrease product prices (Teece et at., 1997). Some - and not by coincidence the most successful - companies in their sector, however, have created their own approach to coping with this situation. Spanish fashion retailer ZARA, for example, has been the prototype for a new kind of competitive strategy. It competes within the market in a dynamic manner through its rapid launch of new products. We call this a rapid response capability, which is also referred to in the literature as dynamic capabilities (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000; Hoopes et at., 2003). More precisely, we explore its roots and antecedents to discover how firms may create and take advantage of employing such capability. This is particularly interesting as the development of rapid response capabilities is an important way to overcome competition based on price/cost advantages through speed and flexibility (Berger, 2006). Building on Nelson and Winter's (1982) view of organisations as a nexus of operational and administrative routines, we define rapid response capabilities specifically as a result of learning mechanisms directed at matching internal strategic resources with the external strategic context (Zollo and Winter, 2002). The goal of this analysis is twofold. First of all, we aim to develop a theoretical framework dealing with this particular type of capability whilst testing it empirically. As Helfat and Peteraf (2003: 997) argued, 'it is difficult to fully explain how firms use resources and capabilities to create a competitive advantage', we provide some initial indications for management on the understanding of rapid response capability development. Our study is designed to, first of all, provide a conceptual framework with accompanying hypotheses. It also presents our empirical study that validates our hypotheses. In addition, the results of this quantitative analysis are also provided here. Based on these results, we discuss our findings on rapid response capabilities and, finally, we offer our concluding remarks.

By Gabriel Monte: CNJ staff writer
The 27th Special Operations Wing made steady progress in 2008 of preparing Cannon Air Force Base for more personnel as well as adapting to new methods of warfare.
Chief of Public Affairs Capt. Mae-Li Allison said the base has 2,100 military personnel and 560 civilian employees. She said there are seven MC-130W Combat Spears and 6 non-standard aviation assigned to the base at present.
"This is certainly an exciting time for us at Cannon Air Force Base and for the Air Force," said 27th Special Operations Wing Commander Col. Tim Leahy. "We are essentially building this AFSOC base from the ground up and expect much of the base's growth both in personnel and in construction to happen within the next five to seven years."
To provide incoming personnel with modern housing, 350 housing units are being demolished, according to base officials. New housing units are expected after 2010 when base housing is privatized.
Construction of a new 28,000-square-foot dining and recreation started in January in anticipation of more airmen coming to Cannon.
Congress approved a military spending package this year, which includes $26 million for construction at the base. Projects include a hangar for MC-130 aircraft and a CV-22 Osprey training facility. Leahy said construction will start in 2009.
President Bush also signed a spending bill authorizing $2.2 billion in supplemental cash to purchase five MC-130J and five CV-22 aircraft for Cannon and build a childcare facility on base.
Three special operations squadrons activated at Cannon in 2008. Next year base officials anticipate five more squadrons moving to Cannon.
But the move to eastern New Mexico is not entirely welcome.
In October a letter to the Secretary of Defense from members of the 16th Special Operations Squadron in Hurlburt Field, Fla. warned against the move to Cannon citing conditions that could make operating AC-130 gun ships dangerous.
The squadron is one of the five slated to move to Cannon in 2009, according to base officials.
Squadron officials said the letter reflected anxiety from members of the squadron. They compared the letter to family members apprehensive before a big move.
Air Force Officials said while the move to Cannon does present changes to the operation of the aircraft, it would not hinder it completely. Such changes include flying lighter and training in cooler temperatures.
The community was invited in July to a joint training exercise, a showcase of technology used to link services such as the Air Force, Marine Corps and the Army on the battlefield. Dubbed Joint Lightning, the exercise demonstrated the need for joint operations in the War on Terror, according to Capt.Vic Norris of the Air Force Special Operations Command.
Cannon was put on the Base Realignment And Closure list in 2005.
In 2007, the base was placed on enclave status then assigned to Air Force Special Operations Command.

Men accused of causing $6,600 in damage during copper theftMarch 02,2013NEWFANE — Two men are accused of causing more than $6,000 in damage to a Vermont Electric Power Company substation in September while stealing about $740 in copper wire, according to Trooper Jeff Hudson of the Vermont State Police.
Russell A. Buzby, 46, of Newfane, and James D. Nestor Jr., 45, of Bennington, are scheduled to be arraigned in Windham criminal court on March 26 on charges of grand larceny, unlawful trespass and unlawful mischief, Hudson said in a press release.
On Sept. 20, the Vermont State Police were notified of a copper wire theft from the VELCO substation in Newfane on Route 30.
After an investigation, aided by surveillance video from the substation, police determined that Nestor and Buzby stole several hundred pounds of copper ground wire from the VELCO substation around 8 p.m. Sept. 16, causing damage in the process.
Upon questioning, both Buzby and Nestor admitted to the theft, Hudson said.
The stolen copper was sold to a scrap yard for about $736. The cost to repair the substation was estimated at about $6,600.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

My son is almost four weeks old and we're still having major breastfeeding problems. I resort to giving him a bottle of pumped milk at night time because it hurts too much to nurse, and I'm too tired to fight him on his latch. Here's the problems we're having.
1) Originally low supply resulting in hospital admission for dehydration and hypernatremia at five days old. Now maybe too much after taking motherlove more milk plus, I'm weaning myself down.
2) Started giving bottles of pumped milk to supplement after nursing while he was in the hospital for dehydration, and again when he was in the hospital for RSV that he caught while in the hospital the first time. I do still give bottles every once in awhile, usually at night when it hurts too much and I'm too tired to fight his latch. Trying to cut way back on this, but usually it's one maybe two bottles a day.
3) Shallow latch: We've tried sandwiching my nipple/breast to get more into his mouth. The lactation consultant (fourth one) I saw yesterday said his latch looks perfect, yet when we pull him off I have a flat side to my nipple on the bottom. I've tried putting pressure on the side of my breast that his lower jaw is on to try to keep him from being able to bite me like he seems to be doing, but he still manages to keep doing it.
4) I was red and cracked, now just red including the area around my nipple, and very raw at all times. The LC yesterday thinks it's irritation and maybe yeast. I started APNO the night before last night so hopefully that will hlep. She gave me a nipple shield to use for when I get really sore. I tried it this afternoon and it seemed to hurt less.
5) Posterior tongue tie?: The LC yesterday said she thinks he may have a bit of a posterior tongue tie. He's able to stick his tongue out past his gums but doesn't seem like he's able to lift his tongue up to the top when his mouth is wide open. She wasn't 100% sure on this though and recommended we go to see a pediatric ENT.....which of course there aren't any on the tiny island we live on and are returning to in three days.
A lot of that was just giving a bit of the history to see if maybe something that's happened is what is causing the problem, like having to supplement with bottles. I really want to have a good breastfeeding experience, but right now it seems like that goal is unreachable. Any other suggestions for fixing a shallow latch? Can a regular pedi or ENT doctor check a tongue tie or does it have to be a pediatric ENT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!


text: I need some help with latching with my 5 w/o. My DS likes to suck on only my nipple and as a result has caused 2 incredibly cracked and WAY painful nipples . . . I've BFmy other 2 kids w/o any problems and I don't believe I'm doing anything differently. I'm doing everything I've read (tickle mouth open till really wide then put nipple in as far back as possible, etc), but after 2 sucks he's back to just the nipple. And constant delatching and then relatching kills!! Any suggestions? I'm dying here Thanks for your help!!

Padres, Rain, and Christmas
There is not much going on in baseball right now. Well, the Yankees signed A.J. Burnett, I guess that's big news. The Padres non-tendered Clay Hensley and Charlie Haegar recently. Now, Haegar I can understand. He is a knuckleballer, and not too good at it. He lost at least 3 games for us, I'd say. It was kind of sick. But Clay Hensley is a bit of a head-scratcher. Clay is a fairly good pitcher, and he's been with the Padres for quite a while. But he has been riddled with injuries for the past few years. It's kind of sad, because he is a great guy, but obviously the Padres don't have him in their plans.
Speaking of plans, let's take a look at the Padres rotation for 2009. We will (hopefully) have Jake Peavy, Chris Young, and Cha Sueng Baek. From what I've heard, the other two spots will be filled by young guys who pitched with us in '08, like Josh Geer. I am guessing that the other spot will be filled by a young pitcher. We'll probably get to look at a lot of guys in Spring Training. Wade LeBlanc and Chad Reinike might get some looks, but it's very likely that we will get another starter sometime this offseason.
The weather is so beautiful here in San Diego. It is raining like crazy, and it's supposed to rain all day. I absolutely love the rain. It's like amazing.
Well, it's certainly starting to feel like Christmas, even in San Diego. I have three Christmas parties this week…

More Freakazoids & Oddities: The Always Venerable, Mostly Searchable RSBS
Everyone is looking for something.
I am looking for a reason not to hate John Mozeliak; the Cardinals hodge-podge yet surprisingly effective pitching staff has given me hope (so far).
Milton Bradley is looking for someone to actually listen to his crybaby tantrums, but we are grown-ups; and we do not care.
North Korea is looking for a good old-fashioned ^ss-whoopin'; sources say firing nukes at your neighbors is an excellent way to accomplish that.
Still, others must turn to the long, twisted and always trustworthy inner-wirings of the world wide interwebs. And sometimes, dear readers, they end up here.
As they have in the past, the RSBS interns did their homework and now we present to you some of the most intriguing keyword searches responsible for bringing people right here to the land of the
free slightly tied down and the home of the brave pretentious and pompous, Red State Blue State:
"Red State / Blue State Means???"
It means Jeff and Allen are awesome. Look, I know you queried this from an IP address in Spain, but still… come on, hombre… we're kind of a known thing.
"Carlos Quentin's Descents"
There have been many… playing like crap for the Diamondbacks, breaking his wrist in a fit of rage, having a sore left foot… take your pick. I'd say the most influential one is the fact that he looks like a full-sized version of Herve Villechaize.
"Overweight Man"
Now, now… let's be nice and cordial here, Mr. Internet Searcher. I wouldn't call my Tiger-lovin' colleague, Mr. Krause, overweight. I would call him ridiculous (because he is) and anti-establishment (because he is) but not overweight (okay, maybe just a little). If it is indeed larger men you're looking for, then I direct you *here*.
"What is the Lump in Nyjer Morgan's Mouth?"
Uh, I dunno. Chewing tobacco? Tongue? Someone else's tongue? Or maybe playing for the Pirates has given him the mumps. Whatever it is, we humbly admit that we have no friggin' clue.
And finally, the most intriguing query of them all…
"What is Jeff Lung's Problem?"
Well, if you don't know by now, I guess you're just gonna have to keep on reading.
But whatever you do, don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
7 Comments
You're probably the only person I know who could actually figure out that Carlos looks like Herve Villechaize. And FYI when I read that, I started choking on my Diet Coke. Another note to self to not drink anything when reading RSBS.
I wonder if Morgan chewed that during all the hockey games he played? You wouldn't think to look at him, but the guy played a couple years of Junior hockey in the Canadian WHL (western hockey league).
Here is an idea! He found the secret to the 'everlasting gobstopper' after being tipped off by Willy Wonka's Canadian counterpart … Wilfred Wonka???
The Carlos Quentin/Herb Villichaize comparison is hiliarious!
The answer to the question about Nyjer Morgan's lump can be answered easily…
He runs really fast…
… that's it.
Jen — LOL. I can't watch Fantasy Island anymore without expecting Tattoo to lead the league in homeruns before breaking his own wrist.
Julia — The plane is on it's way… just keep looking up😉
Homer — I thought Wilfred Wonka had retired! Excellent! Glad to know the Canadian enterprise is alive and well (unlike the Blue Jays the last week and a half).
Eat/Sleep — Yes. He does run fast. And his play also infuriates Zambrano (as seen yesterday).
That is pretty funny, Jeff. Their faces look so much alike. I am holding my stomach laughing on the ground, and tickling myself so I will continue laughing. Haha, not really on that last part.
Joe — Glad I could help man. That CQ/Herve thing has been bothering me for a while. Had to put it out there.

bucks and cavs are mine most hated teams since mid 90s coz they allways was kicking ass to knicks.
The Big East Edition threads are for match-ups against the East's upper echelon teams. Each Big East Edition will feature a mini video mix of a particular Knick.
In this edition, I'll be bringing you a mini mix of Jason Kidd, who has proven that age does not necessarily degrade one's virility. Captain Kidd leads the team in steals, and has brought a niche to the offence unlike many others could.
Captain Kidd
The Bucks Can Be Stopped Here
The Bucks are notorious for crisp ball movement. If we lock the perimeter, we can take the W. Crucial, of course, is beating them on the boards. In Samuel Dalembert's absence VS Chicago the other night, the Bulls outrebounded the Bucks 54-40 including 20-10 on the offensive boards. But the real number was the seven offensive rebounds the Bulls claimed in the final 5:01.
Speaking on the Knicks' most recent/disgusting loss to Houston. A fine piece, I'm sure you'll agree.
bucks and cavs are mine most hated teams since mid 90s coz they allways was kicking ass to knicks.
Jennings is day to day at the moment lets hope he stays restricted by the time Wednesday rolls around. Great GT as always Crazy
I loved the J Kidd vid man! His three point shooting and burglary have both been top notch this season. 5 JR Smith Star tattoos for you.

- we don't defend well against 3-pointers, the bucks have some sharp shooters, this might be a problem
- felton should stick with the dishing
- ball movement = win
My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness
We have to turn it around now, we've taken a step back, If you want to be a champion 1st comes effort and 2nd comes pride
Yo Crazy
good thread as usual but that poll has me a bit heated.
It seems you are losing confidence in Felt and don't understand this are part of the learning (and gelling) process and we will be better for it.
We not only won, but DOMINATED without our full roster, and without fully gelling. Now we see some cracks that we have more than enough time and opportunity to work on.
We'll break down the film, revamp some offensive plays, and we will adjust. We have to embrace this opportunity to see our weaknesses (before we get too confident), learn from what happened and adjust.
Felt is hungry enough to be relied upon. Winning how we did early "reactivated" Melo's ego approach superseding the humility he had and is forcing us to develop some bad habits (too many threes).
Once the leaders emerge (hopefully Melo himself, TC, STAT, Felt, and Kidd) and take a step back, they will realize what formula best suits the team goal of winning. Then we will have an identity.
Until then it's 50/50 whether we win or lose.
PS. I don't like that poll.
Melo's shooting 43 percent from the 3, I have no problem with him taking them. Especially since he gets called for an offensive foul every time he steps foot in the paint
When he gets double-teamed, he NEVER passes the ball, why?
He should be like LeBron, he seems like he's gonna take a shot, then all of the sudden he passes it to someone open.
Please Melo, do share the ball when the shot seems to be a low percentage one.
He is an underrated penetrator, but his shooting isn't that good. So yes, go and penetrate, but then pass it!
He should never shoot the ball unless it's a high percentage one.
My Knicks are awesome, and this shall be the year of ultimate greatness
I do have to say that our identity over the first 6 games had already fit a mould, and that not referring to it VS Brooklyn from both Ray and Melo had my panties in a bunch.
I believe there was solid opportunity to evolve and improve what was working early, and that abandoning that for an eventual loss was a stinker.

Gov. Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett are making a last push to sway voters before Tuesday's recall election.
Walker was starting his day at a plastics plant in a Madison suburb before campaigning in West Salem, Eau Claire, Stevens Point and Green Bay. He planned to wrap up his day with a rally in Milwaukee.
Barrett was spending most of his day in western and northern Wisconsin.
His day began with a planned stop at a coffee shop in La Crosse before going to River Falls, Rhinelander and Portage before finishing with a rally at a United Auto Workers union hall in Kenosha.
Walker said on Monday that he's not worried about a recount.
Walker told reporters during a tour of a plastics plant in Fitchburg Monday morning he expects things will be close but he's not thinking about a recount. He said he's focused on telling voters the union restrictions helped balance the state budget.
Walker faces Barrett in a contest spurred by Walker's contentious plan to strip most public workers of nearly all their union rights. Walker is only the third U.S. governor to face a recall.
Walker planned a number of other campaign stops across the state Monday. Barrett planned to spend his day in western and northern Wisconsin.
Polls show a tight race as Walker tries to become the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall vote.

Blame It On the Booze
Yes, dear readers, our venerable GW Bush came out yesterday and enlightened us with what has really been going on with the continuously slumping economy. Folks, it had nothing to do with poor management at home, questionable foreign policies nor an ever widening gap between Red and Blue US American ideologies. No.
"Wall Street got drunk."
— G.W. Bush
Thank the gods. I was a tad bit worried there as I watched gas prices in Chicago soar to $4.50 a gallon. I was just slightly disturbed when I spent $40 bucks at CVS and all I bought were paper towels, crossword puzzles and American Pie: Band Camp on DVD. And I was a tad nervous when the doctor told me he could remove the lesions if only I put on a blonde wig, some heels and called him "Daddy".
But thankfully, none of that was a result of a gummed-up government overrun by lobbyists and big oil. No. Wall Street has just been boozin' a bit… and that, dear readers, is certainly understandable.
Because nothin' says America like a good old buzz.
I certainly am not immune from this. In fact, by perusing the plentiful posts here at RSBS one could rightfully gather that we (Allen and I) are a bunch of drunks ourselves. It's true! We are not ashamed!
US America is a country built on the boozing backgrounds of Europeans, Asians, Africans — all drunks! Like baseball and apple pie, an everlasting state of drunkenness is simply the American way; Wall Street could not hide for long.
In light of this new information, let us follow the President's lead:
Every good drunk needs his drunken hero and baseball has always provided plenty. From Babe Ruth to Ty Cobb to Josh Hamilton, the grandest game on earth has never stopped producing inebriated icons. Jim Edmonds was mine until he switched sides, but I've included his picture here still because of the pleasant company he keeps while out on the town. Nowadays, I look to the boozing comeback of Sidney Ponson for inspiration… what a story. And Rondell White. He wasn't named in the Mitchell Report because of his weakness for Tanqueray and tonics *wink, wink* but the man was a leader in the party scene.
To these baseball heroes and a quick hangover recovery for our economy I raise my glass with you and say "Cheers!" I also ask that you don't hate me 'cuz I'm (burp) right.

Nice Entry Jeff! Keep up the great blogging.
The Baseball Collector
Old boozy Sidney looks seriously disturbing in that picture. Lucky for him Bush looks 10 times worse lol. Ahh, and speaking of guys who don't look right in another uniform [Edmonds] I was trying to picture Mariano in another uniform at the end of last year when the story broke out that Mo was intending to test the market… and I almost lost my mind. Can you imagine hiiiim on another team? Cashman and the Mini Steinbrenners would of needed 10 bodyguards to protect against the New York fans, who are already insane, if they couldn't make him stay.
You're right, V. I couldn't imagine Mo in another uniform just like I couldn't imagine Ozzie Smith or Albert Pujols in another uniform. I said the same thing about The Big Hurt and Kenny Williams had the audacity to not resign him after 2005. The "Mini" Steinbrenners WOULD be insane not to give Mo whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.
Mo deserves to have more money than God. When the guy is up for consideration for the Hall of Fame, it'll take less than a second for anyone to decide.
Now that I'm thinking about it, you know who'd look extreeeemly weird in another uniform? Manny Ramirez. You've heard a bunch of times about Manny wanting to be a free agent or having trouble with the organization but honestly, the Red Sox and Manny were made for each other. No other team would put up with him.
Ty Cobb is my idol by the way he was deticated to the game and how he made a name of himself by his work ethic. For all the Ty Cobb haters out there. Those are all lies. He never bet on a game. Yes he did punch a black guy, but he wasn't racist and no he didn't ever sharpen his spikes to hurt a player. He also was NOT a drunk. He had a few beers but he was NOT an alcoholic. For more details about his life and how he really wasn't a cold hearted person. Please read his autobiography. Ty Cobb: My Life in Baseball. It is a well written 279 page book with about 15 pictures of him and teammates.
Thanks for the revisionist history, conner. But if you read enough biographies (i've read a few), you'll know that he was an alcoholic and he didn't care much for anyone who wasn't white. Thanks for the comment. Keep comin' back.
Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you're utilizing?
I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet
browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
Can you recommend a good hosting provider at
a reasonable price? Cheers, I appreciate it!
Amazing post!
This is the perfect webpage for anyone who wants to find out about this topic.
You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually
will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic which
has been written about for decades. Excellent stuff,
just excellent!
Why people still use to read news papers when in this technological
globe everything is presented on web?
I am truly thankful to the holder of this site who has shared this great

Wand pleads guilty to homicide charges
Two attempted homicide charges dismissed
Armin Wand III has pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of first-degree attempted homicide, one count of arson, and one count felony murder in a plea deal announced Friday.
The Argyle man is accused of starting a fire last September that killed his three children, ages 3, 5 and 7, as well as his unborn child.
His wife, Sharon Wand, and their 2-year-old daughter survived the fire.
Sharon Wand was pregnant at the time of the fire. The charge of felony murder is for the death of her unborn child.
Two attempted homicide charges were read in but dismissed as part of the plea deal.
In addition, Armin Wand will testify against his brother, Jeremy Wand.
Prosecutors said Jeremy Wand, Armin's brother, conspired with his Armin Wand on setting the fatal fire for the promise of $300. He's scheduled to appear in court for a status conference Wednesday.
Wand is facing maximum of three life sentences, 60 years for the attempted homicide charge, 40 years for the arson charge and 15 years for a felony murder charge.
"This is certainly one of the most serious crimes I've ever had to deal with, and it might be fairly obvious what the state might be recommending," assistant district attorney Roy Korte said.
Wand told the judge he wants to accept responsibility, save the county money, and save Sharon Wand from testifying in court. The prosecution gave similar rationale for why accepting the agreement was a better option for the state than proceeding with the trial.
Wand acknowledged in court that he could be in jail until he died.
Earlier this week, a judge ruled that part of Wand's confession to police could not be submitted as evidence in the case. While that decision was a contributing factor, defense attorney Guy Taylor said it was not the sole reason for entering a plea agreement.
"Even if we had prevailed on all of our arguments," Taylor explained, "there was still evidence that the state had available to them that would have been pretty strong evidence."
Sharon Wand would have testified in her soon-to-be ex-husband's trial if it had moved forward. Korte has been in constant contact with Sharon throughout the proceedings.
"Sharon is certainly ready to testify. She does not relish in the prospect of having to do so. She's still healing physically, she's healing mentally," Korte said, "and I'm sure she will be relieved that at least in regards to this case, having to testify against her husband, or soon-to-be ex-husband, she won't have to do that."
Korte said Sharon Wand is improving, but is likely mourning her sons and unborn child every day.
Wand's sentencing is scheduled for April 17.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice announced the court hearing a few hours before Friday's hearing in Darlington.

Four nuclear reactors at the Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant are seen behind homes of residents in Kyungju, south of Seoul, South Korea, April 21, 2006.

"Northeast Asia's Nuclear Future"
Backgrounder on the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit
Op-Ed, The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs
April 1, 2012
Author: James Platte, Former Stanton Nuclear Security Predoctoral Fellow, 20112012
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
At the beginning of 2011, Northeast Asia was well on its way to becoming the epicenter of a long anticipated global nuclear renaissance. According to data from the International Atomic Energy Agency, China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan account for 22 percent of the operational nuclear power reactors in the world. More importantly, 52 percent of the reactors under construction in the world are located in Northeast Asia (China alone has 41 percent), and 53 percent of the reactors connected to electricity grids since 2000 are in this region. The trend was only beginning, with China and South Korea crafting aggressive expansion plans.
But the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 and the ensuing tsunami caused the most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl, at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant 225 kilometers north of Tokyo. Before the earthquake, Japan had 54 operational nuclear reactors. Today, only one of those reactors is producing electricity. The future of the Japanese nuclear industry and the nuclear dynamics of all of Northeast Asia is now in question.
Against this backdrop, the world gathered in Seoul, South Korea for the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit on March 26 and 27. This year's summit ostensibly retained the 2010 summit's main objective of reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism, but there was one very significant addition to this year's agenda: exploring the nexus between nuclear security and nuclear safety....

Summer is a great time to soak up American history. Whether in Mt. Vernon, Va., where you can walk through George Washington's bedroom and where he died, or Lincoln's home in Springfield, Ill., presidential homes offer history geeks the skinny about our former leader's personal abodes.
We'll take you to the homes of our first and 16th presidents as well as visit some not quite so familiar.
Sultry Nashville summers are no match for the cool porches of The Hermitage, where President Andrew Jackson lived in luxury against a backdrop of slaves working in his fields.
The LBJ Ranch in the Texas Hill Country is exactly as Lyndon B. Johnson saw it as he drove to check on his herds. You'll be surprised at the simplicity of this ranch house, though it does bear the touch of our "Keep America Beautiful" first lady.
Finally, we'll visit the gentile and formal Franklin Delano Roosevelt Springwood estate in Hyde Park, N.Y., which both FDR and first lady Eleanor loved.
Still hungry for more dish on the presidential kitchen and the rest of the house? We'll close the door on this with a link to check out some recent presidential real estate.
No. 5: George Washington - Mt. Vernon, Virginia
Though our first president grew up on another plantation in Fairfax County, Va., most consider stately Mt. Vernon his home. The planter married wealthy widow Martha Custis in 1759 and raised her two children at the mansion on the Potomac banks that Washington inherited from his family. The red-roofed house was built in the neo-classical Georgian style in 1757.
Between wars and his eight years as president, Washington lived as a country gentleman on this estate, then 5,000 acres. Today tourists visit 50 acres that include the mansion and related buildings, gardens and crypt. The property has been a National Historic Landmark for more than 50 years and is operated by the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association. After Washington's 1799 death, the property fell into disrepair until the Ladies Association purchased it in 1858.
Tourists can visit Mt. Vernon every day of the year, but need note that spring break time through early summer are busy and may want to pre-purchase tickets online.
While the crypt that holds George and Martha's remains is popular for visitors, the wooden mansion holds a special fascination -- don't miss the dining room where the Washingtons entertained or the upstairs bedroom containing the bed in which President Washington died a few days after catching a chill working outside.
No. 4: Abraham Lincoln - Springfield, Illinois
When Honest Abe and his Kentucky-born wife Mary Todd Lincoln left their Greek revival two-story home in Springfield prior to his 1861 inauguration, could they have imagined he would never live there again?
Yet he came home in the infamous funeral pilgrimage in 1865 and is now forever entombed under a 17-foot granite obelisk in Springfield's Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Today visitors can walk through the simple home at Eighth and Jackson streets, just blocks from the downtown where Lincoln practiced law. The Lincolns purchased the one-story wood frame home in 1844 and added a story in 1856 to accommodate three sons and an increasing social calendar from Lincoln's political career. Mary felt her sons would never learn manners as long as they ate in the kitchen, so the remodel added a dining room.
Before moving to Washington, D.C., the Lincolns stored many of their belongings and rented the house. Many of the original furnishings disappeared. Restorers had access to drawings of the public rooms sketched in summer 1860 by "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper." Original furnishings have been duplicated and fill the house. Did that old rocker in your basement once hold our lanky 16th president?
Visits are free, though you will need to pick up a ticket at the nearby Visitor's Center at 426 S. Seventh St. The Lincoln home is open daily except New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
No. 3: Andrew Jackson - Nashville, Tennessee
"Well, in 1814 we took a little trip" opens the Johnny Horton ballad "Battle of New Orleans." While not completely factual, our seventh President Andrew Jackson of Tennessee did lead 5,000 American soldiers to an 1815 victory over 7,500 Brits to save New Orleans. Jackson, popular with his soldiers, said he was "tough as old hickory" and the tree moniker stuck.
Jackson once owned another more valuable property on the Cumberland River that he sold to reduce debt, moving to another property north of Nashville. Soon Jackson dubbed his farm "The Hermitage," which means rural retreat. The 1,000-acre property had more than 40 slaves to plant and pick cotton, tend to Jackson's wife's elaborate French-style gardens and manage Jackson's racehorses.
Archaeologists preserved slave cabins to maintain this part of American history and continue historical digging on the property. While the Hermitage is one of the most beautiful homes in Tennessee it leaves the enduring sad legacy of American slavery.
In 1880, the Tennessee Legislature gave a 25-acre tract of the mansion and adjacent gardens to the Ladies Hermitage Society. The Legislature also decreed that the remaining 400-plus acres be used to house old soldiers from the Confederacy, as long as their home was kept out of sight of tourist eyes.
There are fees for entrance for all but military personnel and children under 5. The mansion and grounds are open daily.

i think that was just him being really heated cuz zetsu told on him
I think that Sasuke is going to have to rely on his sharingan more than ever now, since Konoha gave all that information to cloud. I wonder if they also have a little bit of info on the sharingan. It would make sense since they are fighting one of the famous Uchiha clan members.
Anyone else think that the fight with Raikage might severely injure Suigetsu? He is made of water and water is the best conductor of electricity.
Although it seems like Sasuke was getting his butt kicked, he was not using even half of his strength. However, this does not mean he'll be able to beat Raikage. I liked the chapter, but I wanted to see more action from Jugo...

ya evn i was thinkin the same thing....i think he is saving his chakra to fight danzou...
plus i dnt think sasuke is gonna face danzou now , i guess sasuke n team will injure raikage n his team N thn flee 4m there b4 reinforcements come ther...

I liked Jugo's transofrmation and the way he said "i wanna kill!". As for danzo, he has the same goal i belive, but he does it in a violent way. Naruto should be able to fix him soon enough just like pein.
Agreed, Sasuke was not too impressive in this chapter. He seemed a bit shaky and unconfident, which is not like him.
Somehow I think the whole Kage meeting was a waste, and if not, it was only to state that Danzo's people wanted to go see the battle with Sasuke and Raikage. Meaning they might pop out of no where during the battle in later chapters. The meeting also could have been just to strengthen the rivalry between that Byakugan user and Danzo, and Tsuchikage and Gaara.
Just my opinion.
In waiting for next chapter, hoping something will go on between Naruto and Madara.

i think Mist and Cloud are going to start a war against the Leaf. And Sand are going to be the ally of the Leaf.. And Rock will be neutral x)
a new war is coming.. ^^
hmm saskuke dnt seem as bad azz as he did las chap lol he kinda looked a bit weak n his super evil chakra is where? anyways kishi keeps making danzo more n more mysterous every week i mean sheeesh i mean wat is he good or bad..now yehi hope hawk can do something useful yhis time as deylooked like whimps agaisnt 8tails...i also hope dat saskuke will use more den chidori swords n crap in da fight but i belive dat the fight will be interrupted however
on a side note i really hate waiting a full week for such short chapters...I HATE IT!!!!
Originally Posted by skgb75

Agreed! Absolutely!
Anyway I liked it, but the hole situation is getting out of hand...and the possibility of a war if getting bigger. I just can't believe Konoha really chose Danzo as Hokage so easily Every word he says is a piece of .... and he still gets the lead

yup i predicted this comment last week i agree with u .but sasuke wont alone injure raikage but kill him and they might flee away ..........but the question is where is that evil crap or something tat sasuke had in the last chapter its been a mystery in this chapter......but this chapter was unnecessary .....it wasnt worth enough........but i hate to wait for a whole weeeeeek shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i also miss naruto and madara in this chapter.......until madara is ter the hawk will not be vanished bcaz madara is even more powerful than all the kage ..............some of the kages should be killed especially this danzo badass should be killed ............but i think suigetsu and may be even juugo will be killed in this battle .........what do you think guys ????its just my opinion......... do u think my predictions are right????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????
this chapter was cool... but not all that. No Naruto, and hardly any action from Sasuke. It was more of the Kages talkin (especially Gaara), which is what made it cool. And last chapter hyped up Sasuke sooooo much, and he hardly did anything but gettin his ass saved by his nakamas and now they're hyping up Jugo, so I dont know what to expect next chapter. Why can't Kishi jus concentrate on the fight like he did with the ItachiVsSasuke & J-ManVsP-Man & TakaVs8Tails battles. Maybe im jus talkin sh*t but overall it was a good chap its just that it felt short I guess. Maybe this battle was meant to last a handful of chapters.
Edit: Whats up with Danzou and his boys tryin to go downstairs to "get Sasukes sharingan"???wtf?
He's greedy. He has one... and he still wants more? wtf? I hope Danzou dies sheeeesh!
And IMO: the translation from sleepy fans kinda sucks.
the Binktopia one is way better translation, and the
pictures have way better quality. Im just saying, cause i would
always read the Sleepyfans and be confused a lil of what they're
trying to say sometimes but I'll go and read Binktopia translation
and it makes so much sense compared to that of the sleepyfans
translation. The only and only good thing of sleepyfans is that it
comes out earlier, but way earlier than this discussion thread is
created, so I still read the Binktopia the next morning and still be
able to go on here after reading both. So I dont know why the
sleepyfans one is the one we still discuss about here when
alotta people say what did he mean by "this" or "that" then
someone says "read the Binktopia one, it makes more sense".
Thats how I found out too

Reason: to NOT post other anime site links
This chapter was good
First off you got to give it to the cloud nin, their teamwork is flawless. Second using a blinding tech on the sharingan plus water to short him out is also ingenious.
Sorry to say but if team hawk pulls off a win then its all bullshit. Cloud has power, skill, knowledge, and age on their side. Hawk has skill and power but lack the experience and that is key.
A Kage and two skilled Jounin should have plenty of experience fighting people with high chakra levels plus they have intel on sasuke enough said.
I lik tis chapter but I would of lik 2 c Sasuke fight a bit more better it looks lik he's holding back btw I lik tis team battle better then jus Sasuke vs Raikage I hope we c Naruto next week & I hope we get 2 c Sasuke fight back but Zabuza blade getting mess up lik tat he be turning in he's grave

me too but i have a feeling itll b a flash back like in many chapters away and wat if itachi also planted a something to counter madara
God this is driving me insane for some reason.
Why did FU say let us go down there and get the sharigan.
Why did he say sharigan and not Sasuke?

They were probably planning to take Sasuke's eyes not him...
GUys after Weeks of reading crapy sleepy fan translations id like to recommend this 1
try this 1 out..... It gives soo much betta translation n personality to the whole chapter!!!!!!!!
Kinda boring chapter. This chapter showed Sasuke's arrogance for sure though, When he said he didn't need Suigetsu interfering, Pretty sure Raikage would have won if Suigetsu didn't interfere and block the blow. The Kumo team better win because if they don't, I'm just gonna hate Sasuke even more if it's possible lol. Danzo probably had something to do with the 4th Mizukage since he got quiet after the 5th mentioned it..
Samurai's called for help so it seems like it'll be Kumo + Samurai vs Sasuke.. Against those odds.. Logically Sasuke should lose.. Badly..

Marjorie Powell Fuellenbach, 91, peacefully passed away due to heart complications, surrounded by her family on November 4, 2013 at Heber Valley Medical Center. Marge was born to George and Georgia Tuttle Powell on April 16, 1922 in Glenwood, Utah. Marge married Norman J. Fuellenbach on March 22, 1943 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He preceded her in death November 27, 1977.
Norm's family owned the Richfield Reaper in Richfield, Utah and after marrying Norm she started working at the newspaper. After serving as both the co-publisher and then the circulation manager, Marge retired from the Reaper in 2010.
Marge was a life-long member of the Utah Press Association. In 1998 she received the John E. Jones Award for outstanding contributions to the newspaper industry, participating in the programs of the organization, and her remarkable record of participating at their annual winter conventions for more than half-a-century.
Marge was instrumental in starting the New Horizons Crisis Center in Richfield. She loved tending her roses and playing bridge with great friends. She loved the cabin that she and Norm built at Fish Lake, "Happy Fish," and was known for her joy in watching the hummingbirds and chickadees while there.
Marge especially enjoyed spending time with her family, and established many fun traditions the family still carries on. Her whistling and her cheerful attitude were known by friends and family alike.
She is survived by daughter Susan and her husband Richard Buys of Heber City; son, Kent and his wife Robin Fuellenbach of Salmon, Idaho (currently serving a mission in Nauvoo, Illinois); daughter-in-law Mari Fuellenbach of Salt Lake City; daughter, Jan and her husband Kraig Patterson of Salt Lake City; 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Marge is also preceded in death by her parents; her three sisters and one brother; son, Mark George Fuellenbach; and daughter Judy Stout; grandson-in-law, Terry Groulx.
Marge was the ultimate hostess and had a knack for making everyone feel welcome. She had a delightful sense of humor and a quick wit. Marjorie P. and Gramarge, as she was affectionately called by her family, was an amazing mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother who touched the hearts of everyone she encountered. We love you and miss you, Whistler.
Funeral services will be Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in the Magleby Mortuary Chapel, 50 South 100 West, Richfield, where friends may call from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Richfield City Cemetery.

ISAT Arts, PE Receive Performance Levels
Immediate Release
October 17, 2001
For Information Call
will have a "yardstick" to measure of how well their students
are achieving the Illinois Learning Standards in fine arts and physical
development and health, under guidelines approved by the Illinois State
Board of Education.
The board voted at its October meeting to approve performance categories for test items that assess student achievement in fine arts and physical development and health that are part of the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT). Students complete the items in grades 4 and 7 as part of the ISAT assessments. Grades 9 and 10 have totally voluntary assessments in each area.
The scores on these topic areas fall into four performance levels: Academic Warning, Below Standards, Meets Standards and Exceeds Standards. The board voted on "cut scores" that determine the score range for performance level.
State Superintendent Glenn W. MCGee said, "Setting the performance levels for the fine arts and physical development and health is an important step in moving toward full implementation of the Standards across the board in all our schools."
In grades 4 and 7, each student takes a selection of the total number of items for fine arts and physical development and health. That does not provide enough information to get individual student results, but des tell schools and districts how well their students are performing relative to the Standards.
Students who take the grade 9 and 10 tests take a complete assessment of fine arts and physical development and health. Because the high school-level test is voluntary, the pool of participating schools may not be representative of the whole state, so statewide results cannot be calculated. They are available only for grades 4 and 7.
