Quote of the Day
"Who is Scooter Libby? It sounds like they indicted a California skateboarder."
-Jake in Clarified's comment section.
Technorati Tags: Scooter+Libby+Indictment
Eugene Volokh notes Jeralyn Merritt of Talk Left discussing the idea that Karl Rove might've taken some kind of plea to give up information on himself, and others, in return for a lesser charge. Putting aside that, as of now, we have zero evidence that this actually happened (again, I love the blogosphere), I have to agree- gasp-with Jeralyn.
Eugene wonders what a Bush administration official is supposed to do. Well, I think he's supposed to tell the entirety of the truth as it pertains to himself. It's one thing to sing about your own deeds in return for a lesser sentence, quite another to take down someone else with you.
Eugene writes 'Or is it damned if you do (covering up your colleagues' crimes; shameful!), damned if you don't ("singing" about your colleagues' crimes; shameful!)?' Not exactly. I'm not saying that Rove should do any 'covering up' but for Rove to volunteer information on Libby in return for a lighter charge is unacceptable. As Jay-Z said in 'A Week Ago', 'the labeling of a snitch is a lifetime scar, you'll always be in jail, just minus the bars'. I see it as manning up to take responsibility for your own actions and not to bring anyone else down to save yourself. Maybe you can take the girl out of Brooklyn…

The policy of truth
It's pretty amazing how many people have been taken down in recent years because of their fibbing. Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, Lil Kim, and now Scooter Libby, all were investigated for crimes and then charged with simple lying. Lesson? Lying liars will be punished.

Last Night
I attended the Human Life Foundation's 'Defender of Life' dinner last night in NYC. They honored Nat Hentoff, a writer for the Village Voice that I have been reading since I was in my teens.
There were some really amazing people in the audience. I saw Father Rutler, a priest so funny he makes me want to be a Catholic (but don't get any ideas, Peter). I worked on an event for his church, the Church of Our Savior, last year and every time I spoke to him he'd make me giggle. There was a contingency of pro-life Democrats in the audience and Father Rutler acknowledged them with a 'I don't mind people being Democrats, as long as they don't practice.' I saw a man wearing a button that said '47% of Democrats can't be wrong' (I can't really argue with that since the implication is that the majority of Democrats are wrong, which they obviously always are) and when I asked to take a picture of it, he took it off and gave it to me. He's part of a NY chapter of Democrats for Life, based in Long Beach, NY.
I also ran into my friend Joe Skelly. I have written about him before, and he was featured in National Review's The Corner when he won a bronze star for his bravery in Iraq. Check out some of his writing here. When I asked him 'how's it going over there', he smiled big and said 'we're winning.' And, you know, I trust Mr. Joe Skelly more than any media that had wanted us to lose since the beginning.
Nat Hentoff was introduced by this amazing speaker, Wesley Smith. His introduction was fiery and passionate and I look forward to reading his writing.
Nat Hentoff considers himself a Jewish, libertarian, atheist, leftwing pro-lifer. I love that. I'm a big fan of challenging the idea of identity and Nat Hentoff never backs down from what he believes is right. I met a nun in the bathroom who said she used to be a pro-choice feminist. Clearly, she was able to challenge that identity for herself.
I've been thinking lately that I don't really understand political 'sides'. Like, the general position of liberals will be pro-choice, for higher taxes and a larger government and supportive of a foreign policy that is big on talking and opposed to weapons build-up while the conservative position will be pro-life, lower taxes, smaller government and a strong defense. But what do any of these things have to do with each other? How does your position on abortion, or really any life or death decisions including euthanasia or the death penalty, affect how you will feel about taxes or defense? How does wanting a strong defense tie into how you feel about gay marriage?
As I've written before, I see parties as a means to vote for most of the issues that matter most to you. No party will fit you 100%, it's just not possible. So, it's important to know what matters to you, and how it fits in with the available parties and candidates. I'm not going to turn this into another post about being realistic about politics and expecting perfection, just that being at this event last night was such a good reminder that there are people who care deeply about issues and are outside of partisanship and the left-right divide. It was encouraging.
The Human Life Foundation is one that could really use your support so if you are pro-life and donate to groups that promote life, think about throwing them a donation.

Not the worst way to go
Last night, on the phone with Dawn Summers, who currently lives about 16 blocks away from me, she noted that there was a pungent smell of maple syrup in the air. 'Huh', I said. 'That's weird. I smell maple syrup too.' We joked about her actually being in my closet and that being the reason why we were smelling the same thing. I thought I was imagining things and that she had put the idea in my head and now my nose was smelling things that weren't there.
This morning, nutjob calls me at like 7am. She left me a message saying that it turns out, we weren't imagining things. 311, New York's public information hotline, and 911 were flooded with calls from people smelling the same thing as us. She said 'the terrorists are coming to get us, armed with a stack of pancakes!' Bizarre. But, Dawn, call me at 7am again and see if you don't consistently get a prank call circa 4am every weeknight.
Update: Gothamist has the odd smell being noted in other boroughs as well.

I agree with all of them except the one about not spending very much money on sunglasses. It's one of the few luxury items I can't live without and contrary to his reason for avoiding them, they tend to last me a year or two (I wore those Dior mini motards for at least 2 1/2).

It must've been because of Germany's strong support for the war in Iraq

NY politics has gone totally bananas
I'm experiencing much the same as Ms. Summers. Two of the most conservative people I know are voting for Democrat Ferrer while plenty of my more liberal friends are going for Bloomberg. Me? If there's even a shot that Freddy will win, which it looks like there isn't, I'm voting for Bloomberg. Otherwise, it looks like a third party year.

Treating black people like our pets
-Ace on ABC News reporter Michel Martin responding to Spike Lee's retelling of the 'blew up the levees' fable by calling the charge 'reasonable':
Pure racism.
No, I don't mean the anti-white bigotry of Spike Lee. Who gives a shit.
I mean the ineffable condescension and embarassing patronization of white people who hear a black person saying something so fucking jackass and feel the need to treat them as either children or retards by saying, "Why, yes, that's a cute little idea you have there, Scamp."

How the Jews do
My friend MR had told me about a shooting that happened at a Florida synagogue during Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) so when I saw this headline today it caught my attention: Confrontation at synagogue turns ugly. Have the Jews suddenly become gangsta? Am I going to have to start carrying a glock to Purim services?
Police had to separate several hundred members of the factions inside and outside the synagogue at 152 Rodney St.
Oooh sounds exciting. But then, not so much:
Although no one was arrested, one person was treated at Long Island University Hospital for a slap to the face, said police. They added that seven security people aligned with a faction from the upstate community of Kiryas Joel were issued summonses for not having watchmen's licenses.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

Just wondering
Walking by several newspaper boxes in NYC this morning, the headline on many of our papers was '2000 fallen heroes' commemorating the dead in Iraq.
Now, here's what I don't get. I have supported the war in Iraq since the beginning and I do so fully today, and so for me the men and women who gave their lives for what I consider a noble cause are heroes.
But most of these papers, are against the war, if not outright hostile to it. How can men die as heroes for a cause you consider ignoble? If we're there for oil, aren't these men thieves and murderers? Do we, or anyone short of neo-Nazis, remember fallen Nazi soldiers as heroes? Were the soldiers that died in Vietnam heroes (they are to me, but again, had I been alive, I would have supported that war)? Are all military personnel, everywhere, heroes? And if so, why is the left so against military recruiting on campus? They're just trying to make those students into heroes, aren't they?

I must do the NY Times' bidding
The City Council race in district 5 of NYC, my home district, is one of around four semi-competitive races in the 5 boroughs. The Republican running is Joel Zinberg, a man so overqualified that it boggles the mind that he'd waste his time on such an uphill race. He's both a doctor and a lawyer and generally just a nice guy. He also received something that few Republicans ever do- the endorsement of the NY Times.
Now, there's some speculation as to why he received the endorsement. The last time a Republican ran for this seat, on a rainy, freezing election day a few years back, Jennifer Arangio got something like 16% of the vote. The Times knows they're not going to make or break this election so why not throw out a token Republican endorsement. Now, again, Joel is super-qualified but we're talking about the Times here– that kind of thing just doesn't matter when there's an (R) after his name.
His opponent is a pleasant enough young lady, Jessica Lappin. Her major flaw is that she was on Gifford 'the annoying boy-man' Miller's staff. She also campaigns outside the Victoria's Secret on E.86th Street a lot, which I guess is less weird for her than if she was a man, but odd nevertheless. I've shaken her hand half a dozen times on my way home from the subway and now I've got this semi-evil impulse to tell her that I was going to vote for her but that I do whatever the NY Times tells me to do and I'm going to have to go for Joel.

This is a classic in our house. It's adapted from an actual Cajun cookbook, even!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, and corn free recipe
- 1 pound Chicken breasts, boneless – cut in 1″ cubes
- 1 pound Smoked (anduille is best) sausage, sliced
- 1 pound Shrimp, cooked
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 Green pepper, chopped
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1/2 cup White wine
- 2 teaspoons Oregano
- 2 teaspoons Parsley
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning – we like Tony Chacheres Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Rice, cooked
Cut chicken and slice sausage. Chop onion and green pepper. Put all in crockpot. Add remaining ingredients, except shrimp and rice. Cook in crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. 30 minutes before eating, add cooked shrimp and cooked rice; allow to heat.
Can be cooked on high for 3-4 hours instead.
Thanksgiving Pot Pie
This is a great non-leftover-looking way of using up leftovers from Thanksgiving or other big holiday meals. This idea was inspi Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd's Pie.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, corn free, and top 8 allergen free recipe.
- 1 lb (approximately) cooked turkey or chicken, chopped
- 1/2 cup leftover gravy
- 1-2 cups mashed potatoes
- frozen or leftover vegetables totaling about 2 cups: bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, peas, broccoli, asparagus, etc.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a 9×9 pan, mix cut up turkey/chicken, gravy, and vegetables. Spoon mashed potatoes over the turkey and vegetable mixture, so that it forms a topping.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Served with leftover Cranberry sauce and leftover Ginger Butternut Squash Soup, this makes a wonderful dinner. As a bonus, it's unlikely you'll have leftovers!
Chicken Enchiladas
I finally made enchiladas. I had been too sad about the idea of cheese-less enchiladas before. These were quite easy and yummy, and everyone liked it! Any meal that is loved by the whole house is automatically special!
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, and top 8 allergen free recipe.
- 2-3lbs chicken pieces. I used bone-in thighs with the skin off
- dash kosher salt
- dash chili powder
Sprinkle top and bottom of chicken with salt & chili powder. Put in a baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake chicken at 350 degrees until done (about 45 min). While cooking, assemble other ingredients and make enchilada sauce.
- 12 (or so) corn tortillas
- 2 cans (double check ingredients!) or 3 cups home-made enchilada sauce
- chicken, chopped up (to make this faster, approximately 1 lb of canned chicken could be used – Valley Fresh brand is allergy friendly)
- 4 scallions, white parts, chopped up
- black olives (optional)
- avacado (optional)
Cut up chicken and scallions into a bowl, mix together.
Heat tortillas in microwave between damp paper towels so they are softened and pliable.
Pour a little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, spread evenly.
Place a softened tortilla in your hand, and put some chicken mixture in the tortilla. Roll into an enchilada, and place seam-side-down in the baking dish. Repeat until you have used up all the chicken.
Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, and toss some sliced black olives on top. Cover with foil, and bake 15-20 min, until heated through.
We served with avocado & extra enchilada sauce on the side, with a salad and some black beans cooked in enchilada sauce. A hard cider is a good substitute for beer, too.
Faux Frittadas
I grew up with a fairly large Italian extended family. We ate lasagna with every holiday meal, my grandmother and I would make ravioli together from scratch, and we would have big family meals with all the aunts and uncles. One of the dishes that was served at the big family meals is inherently gluten-free, a frittada. A frittada is almost like a crustless quiche, or a large omelet that you bake.
Frittadas usually have a lot of cheese, as well as a lot more egg than I typically use. But then, I don't like eggs! In my recipe the eggs are just there to hold everything together so you can serve it in slices. This is easily made with all veggies for a vegetarian (but not vegan!) option at a brunch. My girls love this for brunch on weekends – and since you can vary the ingredients so much, it's rarely the same thing twice! It also makes a wonderful light & fast dinner – it cooks so fast you don't really heat up the kitchen.
This is a delicious gfcf, gluten free, family-friendly recipe! It is also (if you double check ingredients!) a wheat free, dairy free, soy free, tree nut free, peanut free, fish free, shellfish free, corn free, South Beach phase 1 and 2 safe recipe, and one that can easily be made vegetarian.
- olive oil
- 2-3 eggs (sadly, this can't really be substituted)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb meat (if using) – sliced sausage, ham, leftover chicken or turkey, Spam …
- 2+ of something chunky – chopped potato, tomato, mushrooms …
- 1-2 diced veggie(s) – zucchini, summer squash, frozen or baby spinach, bell peppers …
- 1-2 pinches kosher salt
- a couple grinds black pepper
- a few shakes of a seasoning blend – Italian, Cajun …
There is an oven method and a top-of-stove method. If you want to use the oven, it should preheat to 350. If it's hot, and you don't want to turn on the oven, then don't. If using the oven, you need a large-ish skillet that can transfer between the stovetop and oven (like a good cast iron pan or an all-metal metal skillet). If you are using the stovetop only, make sure you have a large skillet that has a well-fitting cover.
For all methods:
Pre-cook the potatoes (if using) – stab them a few times with a fork, then microwave for 5-10 minutes, until barely tender.
Warm some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions, and cook until they start to become tender. Add the meat (if uncooked) and any non-frozen veggies (including tomatoes/mushrooms/other chunkies other than potatoes). Let cook for several minutes, then add the potatoes (if using), any cooked meat, and any frozen veggies. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, making sure to mix thoroughly.
Once everything is cooked & heated through and well-integrated, whisk the eggs in a bowl, then pour over the pan so that there is a little egg in the nooks and crannies. Gently tilt the pan so that the egg is well distributed.
For oven:
Place pan in oven, let cook for about 15-20 minutes, until egg is set (like a quiche). You can set the table and make a salad while this happens.
For stovetop:
Turn heat down to low, cover, and let cook for about 10 minutes (checking occasionally before that), until egg is set firm.
Set out on the table – slice and serve with a spatula. Yum! This goes equally well with a lunch/dinner salad as it does with a breakfast/brunch fruit salad!

Fisher's Marketing Club Wins Big in New Orleans
St. John Fisher College's American Marketing Association (AMA) Chapter recently attended the 34th American Marketing Association International Collegiate Conference in New Orleans, and brought home a total of six awards for work the chapter accomplished throughout the 2011-2012 academic year.
The group won four "AMA Saves Lives" awards for the fall 2011 and spring 2012 rounds of the competition, placing in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place for videos created and distributed through YouTube centered around organ and tissue donation awareness. In addition, they won the Outstanding Marketing Week Activities Award for the Marketing Week they organized on campus last October, featuring several speaker sessions, professional workshops and career panels, and attracted over 110 participants from the campus and local community. And lastly, they won Outstanding Chapter Planning, with a perfect 10 score for their formal Chapter Plan submitted in early fall 2011. The awards also came with a cash prize totaling $550 for the chapter.
"I am incredibly proud of my students for their hard work and dedication over the entire 2011-2012 academic year. Their outstanding performance has now been recognized by the AMA at an international level," said Dr. Monica Hodis, Assistant Professor of Management/Marketing, and the chapter's faculty advisor. "Hearing the St. John Fisher College name announced six times during the awards ceremonies in a ballroom filled with 1,400 students and over 100 faculty advisors was an exhilarating experience."
Hodis noted that the chapter competed head-to-head with 134 schools from across the nation, including the University of Wisconsin Whitewater, Texas State University San Marcos, and Ohio State University.
"Fisher's Marketing Club is returning to campus not only victorious, but incredibly motivated and filled with energy and new ideas for the coming year," she said.
Uwa Oduwa, the club's co-president, said the group participated in more events at the conference including a competition called "Strategic Allocation of Business Resources."
"Returning to the conference for the second year definitely reinforced our club's strengths and skills that we learned throughout the academic year. We took full advantage of the conference's resources including the career fair, keynote speakers, and workshop sessions for team building," she said.
"AMA Saves Lives" is a collegiate AMA initiative that encourages students across the nation to use social media to promote organ donation registration and awareness.

In our latest episode of Phillies Nation TV, Corey and I talk about the Ryan Madson deal and how both sides screwed up royally (i.e. Jonathan Papelbon deal involved). We get into the scary possibilities of Cole Hamels being a free agent after this season, and discuss names like Jered Weaver and Justin Verlander and how they play a role.
Our final segment is for beer lovers – which of course is every single one of you. Steve Mashington, operations manager for Yards Brewery, joined us to talk about a couple of different beers they produce, how it's done, and what to eat with each. I'm a huge fan of new and exciting beers, so you can actually learn something. As you know we're beer connoisseurs here at Phillies Nation, so we're happy to bring this addition to PN TV to you.

Great job by Cincinnati in letting the market come to them…a not so great job by RAJ in trying to forecast the market.
I dont know how much Amaro was trying to "forecast the market" vs. how much he was trying to just make sure they landed the guy they think is the biggest upgrade at that position …
It worked out very well for Cinncy- who wanted a one-year deal for a Closer … and happened to still have Madson available
In one way, I can't blame Jonathan Papelbon for coming acorss as centrally focussed on his earnings potential becoming reality. He seemed destined to be a pretty to very good starting pitcher, which has always been a higher paying job. 12 mil plus might seem outrageous for a closer, but it seems reasonable to think he would have developed into an upper teens or more guy had the Red Sox not elected to make him a closer. His style is for the most part entertaining (his gaze is great, his pace painful), but his long track record and seemingly strategized plan to max that when he was free agent eligible strikes as a great source of motivation for the last few years. I wonder what will motivate him now. He'll probably come up with a successful answer, but I wonder. He should be pretty good for the Phils, but I was looking forward to Madson proving he was an elite closer over the long haul. Pardon me for liking Madson a lot. I basically find this a sad turn of events.
$50 million to a closer is a horrible waste of resources. It's been proven time and time again that you don't need to allocate $10 million to a closer in order to win. There are always closers available. I don't buy the idea that Papelbon is so special that there was a need to lock him up so long either. Who was Amaro bidding against?
Himself, apparently.
I can picture RAJ at a car auction. $1500 going once going twice, $1800, sir no one else made another bid but you. I bid $2000 going once, going twice, sold to the gentleman that kept outbidding himself…LMAO!
That's funny. I'd add that it's a PT Cruiser he's bidding on. A top of line one, but still a PT Cruiser. The dealers can't even give the used ones away.
I still wouldn't be suserirpd if a team like the Nationals signed Madson for some big overpay, they seem to have a good relation with Boras and have a lot of money to piss away on non-essentials like a closer when they already have one in place. They could always just move Storen to set up and have a proven veteran Ace reliever' like Madson brought in to close out games. Honestly i'm still scared that the Nats may try to sign Jimmy for a big overpay also, if for no other reason than to screw over the Phillies. Anyway I am hoping Madson accepts arbitration, since he could get a big trade package at the deadline for a desperate borderline playoff team that needs bullpen help to get them over the hump'
Yards Brawler is the tits ……
and actually Yuengling Light Lager tastes pretty similar
The one thing that is very apparent about Rube is that he identifies the guy he wants and he acts… He doesn't wait and he doesn't allow himself to get caught in a bidding war. Another thing that I would mention is that the market for closers next year appears to be very thin so Rube spared himself the headache that he could have been faced with next year. The Phils offered Madson arbitration – a one year deal which he would have made MORE than what he got in Cinci. In that regard, Rube actually read the market well… He offered Madson the type of deal he was really worth as a somewhat unproven closer and got compensatory picks in the process. Look, after Rube offered him arbitration and he declined, there was really no turning back. There was noooo way he was coming back here for a one year deal. There are a lot of losers and one clear winner- the Reds. Madson got Boras'd, the Phils got a proven closer but overpaid, somewhat. The Reds got what they wanted but they do have to give back a compensatory pick, I think (forget if he was an a or b FA).
To me that's RAJ's glaring weakness – his track record of impatience. There was no need to sign Papelbon so early in the free agent process. He may have acquired the guy he wanted, but by just waiting a few weeks he could have had him for less – especially in terms of years.
The Reds don't lose any picks, according to the new CBA. The Phillies get a sandwich pick after the first round and then a pick right before the Reds' second pick (but the Reds maintain their pick).
Thanks for the clarification, Jeff.
I don't think that a GM is going to be able to get it right every time… you're either going to wait too long and lose out on a player (or get out-bid) or you're going to buy too early and overpay. In my opinion, as a fan, I'd rather see him overpay and get the guy that he wanted. If Rube waited a few weeks, Papelbon might have been off the market. We will never know.
To be clear, I agree that, in hindsight and with all else being equal, I would have rather kept Madson and not paid the steep price tag for Papelbon. I have said that since day one (you can check the original Papelbon announcement post to validate). HOWEVER, that is such a naive approach to take when analyzing this situation. I don't think we would have gotten Madson for the deal that he gave Cincinnati. For him to come to Philly for a one-year deal after declining arbitration would have been asking Boras to eat a super-sized helping of humble pie. If Madson wasn't coming back and if someone stepped up and snagged Papelbon, what would we have been left with? We might not have needed Papelbon but we certainly needed a closer and the market was pretty thin… getting thinner next year. Thankfully, we don't have to worry about that and I think Papelbon will be pretty good.
Great job with the Beer preview!! My wife and I are serious Homebrewers and love craft beer, good to see lots of variety out there. The food pairings are even sweeter!
I am also sad about this whole Madson thing, I mean I agree the true winner here is the Reds, but this whole situation smells just like the Billy Wagner ordeal, Health will be the biggest concern for Papelbon. Just loved when we kept the homegrown talent.
Madson got screwed by Boras in a major way.
Remember we have not won a WS since we started not keeping the homegrown talent and collected other peoples talent,
Also Remember Halladay, Lee, Oswalt(gone), Ibanez(gone), Pence, Polanco, Contreas have not gottten a ring with the Phillies.
Not saying I don't want those guys, but building a farm system is how we won a WS. I hope they can finish the deal this year, but the East is way more competitive, last year was a major disappointment based on what the expectations were
Jeff of Nova… That's Pat doing the beer segment, Corey was in the first segment
Yeah, just remember, Corey is the one with the pencil beard and Pat is the one with the Mr. Rogers sweater. lol
Somebody wrote on here about a month ago a prediction that Cole would be taderd to the Yanks by Xmas. Thanks, Scrooge. Well, its not exactly time to worry about that again, but .Rosenthal posted a story at 3:13 a.m. that the Phils are in on talks for Gio Gonzalez.I assume he was still awake at 3:13 a.m., and coherent.Never mind that Ruben doesn't seem to prioritize extending Cole like the fans, fact is Cole seems pretty content to let time dwindle too. I mean you'd like to think it ends happily ever after, and that it probably will, but the fact of the matter is its been pretty apparent that an extension for Cole made sense quite some time ago.Conversely, if I'm Cole, I interpret the attention paid to Buehrle and CJ as a reminder that I need to open a new bank account before my exsisting ones bust from too much cash.Maybe there's good reason to prefer Gio to Cole, I haven't given it much thought yet. But I don't look forward to losing another homegrown one of our own. Maybe I'm making way too much out of a fraction, or even nothing. But I hope Cole sticks, and celebrates Cliffmas as a Phil.

Retailers are stocking the cleaning aisle with larger sizes to compete with mass merchants, but this short-term strategy falls short of a real solution. It may be that a new paradigm is needed to sell cleaning supplies -- including detergents -- in supermarkets. A new approach might include recreating the cleaning aisle as a solution center and/or repositioning these items as a convenience category.

He has the look, he has the name, and now is the chance for Jeffrey Earnhardt to do something his father, famous uncle, and legendary grandfather have never done - win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Earnhardt comes from racing stock, there is no question about that. His father is former NASCAR driver Kerry Earnhardt. His uncle Dale, Jr., is the most popular driver in NASCAR. And his late grandfather, Dale Earnhardt, was one of the greatest drivers the sport has ever seen.
Jeffrey has quickly moved up the racing ranks, signing a development deal with General Motors in 2006. In 2007, Earnhardt drove the No. 1 Chevrolet for Andy Santerre Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Series East. He finished fifth in the point standings with one win, five top-10 and four top-five finishes. He was also voted the series' most popular driver.
Earnhardt is now in his second year in the NASCAR Camping World East Series, driving the No. 8 Dale Earnhardt Inc., Monte Carlo. Jeffrey is currently sitting in fifth-place after four races with three top-10 and two top-five finishes.
If Jeffrey takes the checkers on Friday afternoon, it will be the first time that anyone named Earnhardt has found victory lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

China Southern Airlines and the Canton Trade Fair will boost their existing marketing alliance in order to attract more Australian and New Zealand business travelers to the world's biggest trade expo, the Canton Trade Fair.
The announcement was made by Mr. Wang Yanhua, Vice President of China Foreign Trade Centre, at a trade conference in Sydney.
"For the 115th Canton Fair, we are going to join hands with China Southern Airlines to provide a special airfare offer to new buyers from Australia and the Oceania region," said Mr. Wang. "A range of discounts will apply to flights to Guangzhou from five cities in Australia and New Zealand, the minimum guaranteed saving will be A$100 per ticket."
Visitors who register online to visit the Canton Trade Fair before March 31st 2014 will automatically be given a discount code for China Southern Airways. To redeem the offer they must book through China Southern Airlines' Australian or New Zealand call centres.
The offer applies to travelers departing from five cities, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland.
According to Mr. Wang, "This is the beginning of concerted new marketing effort to attract more businesspeople from Australia, New Zealand and the Oceania region to visit the Canton Trade Fair, our hope is to offer even greater discounts and travel incentives in time for the 116th Canton Fair which runs from October to November this year."
Since 2000, more than 120,000 Australians have attended the Canton Trade Fair and Australia consistently ranks among the top ten visitor countries to the fair, the number of New Zealand visitors over that time is close to 21,000. Aside from direct flights with China Southern Airlines' "Canton Route", better hotel partnerships and initiatives like the Canton Trade Fair app for iPhone and Android are making visits to the fair easier and more productive.
Mr. Wang, who is leading the most senior Canton Trade Fair delegation ever to visit Australia and New Zealand, told the conference that conclusion of the Australia/China Free Trade Agreement will be another important boost for air travel.
"Australian Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Abbott and Chinese Premier, Mr. Li Keqiang have both announced the acceleration of Free Trade negotiations as a top priority," he told the conference, "As Vice President of China Foreign Trade Centre, I can say there's a great desire in China to finally deliver those benefits to both economies. Part of that will be seeing many more travelers flying the Canton Route between China, Australia and New Zealand."

Volunteering to "Pump Iron"
Published June 28th, 2013
Loading Video...
An 81-year old retired bodybuilder in Ocala has made volunteering as a fitness trainer at the Marion County Sheriff's Department his new life focus.
And he was recognized for giving back to his community in a unique way.
Lee Boivin was named HomeInstead Senior Care's Marion County winner for the Salute to Seniors program, where seniors who give back to their communities get some recognition for all they do.
Boivin says he would want to do anything else.
"I love pumping iron and I love working out in the gym with these guys. It's really a joy for me. It's a pleasure, it's not really volunteer for me, it's a pleasure working out with these guys and some of the girls."
Now the winner of the state-wide Salute to Senior program and $5,000 to give to charity was a 97-year old woman in Tampa.
Still, Boivin won $100 to give to his favorite charity and a gift certificate to Harry's Seafood so he can take his wife out to dinner.

For over three decades, fresh market green bean, butter bean and southern pea growers have relied on the effectiveness and efficiency of Oxbo's Pixall™ BH100 Bean harvester. It brings legendary Pixall harvest technology to the fresh market grower.
Growers know that having good quality beans at a fair price, along with availability on a moment's notice, means more sales and higher profits. The BH100 allows growers to compete more favorably in a competitive market where finding good reliable help for hand picking is more difficult each year.
The NEW Oxbo lease program makes it easier than ever to put Oxbo's Pixall™ BH100 to work for you. For lease program details and restrictions, please contact us one of these convenient ways:
Easy, Reliable Operation: The BH100 can harvest any row width from 18 inches up. Beans are gently stripped from the vines, cleaned by a powerful cleaning fan that removes leaves and other field debris, and gently conveyed by a soft rubber conveyor to the rear of the machine. There they are either bagged or boxed by an operator on the rear platform.
High volume picking capacity: With the BH100 and a 40 hp tractor, two people can harvest dozens of cases of clean, high quality beans per hour. No scheduling problems and no big payrolls to gobble up your profit margins.
Fast harvesting, fast payback: With as little as five acres of beans, growers can quickly justify the addition of this harvesting equipment. Not only does it eliminate hand picking payrolls, it gets all the beans that a picking crew might leave behind.
Clean, Hand picked quality beans and peas: As important as reducing labor costs and high capacity harvesting is the quality of the beans picked. Gentle handling significantly minimizes any damage. Your fresh market customers will appreciate the appealing appearance of beans that rival hand picked in every way.

A Peek At Emma Watson's Nineties 'Wallflower' Style
Emma Watson and Logan Lerman on "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" set.
Photo: Courtesy of Summit Entertainment
Miss Emma Watson is starring in the upcoming film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, based on the beloved emo-tortured teen novel, and the first official photos have arrived! Co-starring super cute Logan Lerman and Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, the film centers around an awkward teen in Pittsburgh in the early 1990s. Emma plays the love interest (obvs, duh, she's a Midnight Rose isn't she?), and judging by the on-set photos, her wardrobe is anything but wallflower-y. In fact, it's very '90s high school in the coolest way.
Sporting a varsity jacket, jeans, and grunge flannel, we think Emma's look is totally ON-TREND. The varsity jacket alone was featured in both the Isabel Marant Spring 2011 collection (in pink and black) and is a highlight of Rag & Bone's current fall collection. We love this look and think the varsity jacket could easily pair with drainpipe jeans and a fuzzy sweater for a rockabilly look by day and short skirts and dresses with tights by night.
In the second photo, Emma pairs a vintage-looking multi-striped sweater with black bottoms (are those jeans? tights? leggings?) and we-want-them-right-now ankle boots. The look is dressed down but cute and could also work with a longer black skirt or a denim mini and boots. It's almost hard to tell these looks are from two decades ago (eesh, sigh), but the '90s vibe has been making its way back into fashion recently, and really, who doesn't favor wearing comfy flannels and jeans as a fashion statement every day? Emma apparently had fun filming the movie over the summer and told MTV News, "I'm having the time of my life!" We can't WAIT to see the finished product and are totes stocking up on Nirvana T-shirts in the meantime.

Liver Imaging with a Novel Hepatitis B Surface Protein Derived SPECT-Tracer
Müller T, Mehrle S, Schieck A, Haberkorn U, Urban S, Mier W. Mol Pharm. 2013 May 3. [Epub ahead of print]
Department of Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Heidelberg , INF 400, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.
Diagnostic imaging of the liver by ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is generally limited to the visualization of the morphology. In order to exploit the intriguing liver tropism of the human hepatitis B virus (HBV) for molecular imaging of the liver, peptidic tracers derived from the HBV large envelope protein (L) were studied. An N-terminally stearoylated tracer comprising amino acids 2-48 of the PreS1-domain of the L protein was synthesized by solid phase peptide synthesis. Mercaptoacetyltriglycerin (MAG3) was linked to this peptide to enable 99mTc labeling. Biodistribution studies in mice showed an excellent liver accumulation of this novel class of radiotracer with 84%, 84%, 65%, and 16% of the injected dose in the liver after 10 min, 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h, respectively. Imaging studies on a gamma camera showed a clear visualization of the liver already 10 min post intravenous injection. These studies confirmed the exclusive accumulation of the tracer in the liver with negligible background in other organs. Owing to a significant biliary clearance rate of the 99mTc bound via a linker, the tracer enabled imaging of the bile ducts starting 30 min after injection. Analysis of the route of excretion revealed complete clearance within 24 h post injection. Clearance was predominantly via renal secretion. In conclusion, the novel class of tracers shows excellent pharmacokinetic, biodistribution, and clearance kinetics. It provides unique biological information different from the current imaging modalities. Its primary application is likely to be the evaluation of liver cancer patients. Specific indications may include tumor staging, the differentiation of malignant versus benign hepatic lesions, and liver tumors of nonhepatocellular origin.

Today's Lego Club was a success. There were 24 creative kids in attendance. The topic of discussion for the day's build was "walls" and how to build them using staggering and overlapping techniques. We also discussed the Great Wall of China. Photos from today's build are available on our Facebook page @ FDLPL Kids. Or check out the display case near the entrance to see some of the structure on display.
The Summer Reading Program kicked off on Monday, June 4 and so far, it has been a great success. We have 630 kids signed up and they keep coming! Tell your friends and family about the program, or help them sign up to earn a check mark on your own reading record!
Our first "Mondays on the Moon" performance is quickly approaching, June 25 at 2:30 p.m. and we are looking forward to seeing those peppy Pomeranians in action! Free tickets will be available at the Children's Desk on Tuesday, June 19 at 9 a.m.. We hope to see you all there!
Kids ages 6 to 12 who could benefit from practicing their reading are invited to participate in the Fond du Lac Public Library's Paws to Read program. Kids read aloud to certified therapy dogs in a relaxed setting. Studies have shown that reading aloud to dogs helps put the child at ease. Kids benefit from the dogs' patience, acceptance and comforting presence while they practice reading and build skills. The therapy dogs will be accompanied by their certified handlers and are from the group Healing Paws, Inc.
Cabin Fever, the highly anticipated sixth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series,comes out November 15. Place a hold on it today.
Here at the Fond du Lac Public Library kids' site you can learn, read, listen and play 24/7. Come after you've done the dishes, let the dog out and tucked the kids into bed. This is a space where you can connect with people just like you who are trying to raise kids who will love to read and learn.

Rashelle Wilson, M.A., CMHC, RSM's Founder~
Having experienced childhood abuse and decades of living out its negative consequences, in her mid-30s Rashelle began realizing the impact her emotional wounds were having on her two children and others she cared about. An encouraging prophetic word was given to her by Pastors William and Ruth Waltz in 1992: "You are like a nightingale bird that will sing a beautiful song of freedom in the darkest places to set captives free. You will reach the unreachable and touch the untouchable." This was Rashelle's impetus to seek personal transformation.
As God guided her through the next decade of researching, studying, and specialized training, to understand how real healing could be realized, Rashelle pioneered Retracing Sequence Method's approach and the foundational elements were developed and put into place in 2002. Based on traditional Biblical principles, interpersonal neurobiology, quantum physics, and epigenetics, RSM's integrative approach helps to support cellular transformation and renewal within the "soul-spirit-body" system. Rashelle's real healing allowed her to move forward in life and realize both her personal and professional dreams.
Rashelle has been specializing in working with individuals who have sought healing from other approaches without success. Her passion is to bind up the broken hearted and set people free from past wounds and negative beliefs. RSM has created freedom for countless people and enabled them to realize transformation and live more authentically. Rashelle desires to train others around the world that have a passion to create real healing and freedom for those sitting in bondage from unhealed wounds.

I am happy. I have a great mission in front of me. I can't think of anything else I would rather be doing. Well, except running Manohla's studio with her:
""If I were running a studio (ha!), I would take the money that I'd set aside for the next bad idea (like a remake of "Total Recall") and give a handful of directors, tested and less so — Todd Haynes, Barry Jenkins, Kelly Reichardt, Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy, Aaron Katz, Benh Zeitlin, Damien Chazelle — $10 million apiece to make whatever they want, as long as the results come in with an R rating or below and don't run over two hours."
Although I have to confess, I may not be quite so permissive…
Yesterday, I started my reflection on the last decade of American Indie Film. I will conclude it tomorrow (I promise). Today, I wonder what opportunity did we miss over the last decade.
There wasn't really ever a transfer of power in the film biz, was there? During the growth of AmerIndie, Hollywood remained a business of blockbusters. Yes, previously underserved audiences got full on banquets of offerings as the menu of filmed entertainments grew more diverse, but the clamoring hordes born from the niches didn't climb the castle walls as some have claimed; the same power sat on the same throne as before. Fanboys & geeks were inevitably the masters once Hollywood embraced the logic of tent poles — so there is nothing surprising about their current reign. And yes, Hollywood's current crop of top directors were born from that indie big bang of the nineties, but for those directors, Indie always seemed more like a training ground than sort of a manifesto. And the power in the Hollywood system, still rarely rests with the directors.
What is it that happened between Indie's growth in the 1990′s and now? What did the last decade do to the hopes and dreams of The Indie Wave? [...]
Guest post by Yael Bergman
A few days at Strategic Partners, Halifax, Canada and a crash course at International Co-Production Financing.
I saw Ted in Toronto a few days before heading to Strategic Partners in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He suggested I write on his blog with what went on there. I am reporting back now…
I write this as an Australian producer who recently produced a romantic comedy in Australia called I Love You Too. It was completely financed within Australia, largely with Australian and state government investment, and the tax rebate (up to 40 per cent of Australian spend). We are fortunate in Australia to have this public funding as a resource, and whilst it is perpetually competitive, it is the way most film and television is made in Australia. It sustains the industry and ensures we continue to tell Australian stories.
My producing partner, Laura Waters, who is originally from Colorado but has lived in Australia for almost 20 years, regularly comments that she can't believe governments actually give you money to develop and make stuff here. Well, it's true!
To some independent American producers, this must sound like the gold pot at the end of the rainbow, but the reality is it's a limited pool and the funding bodies (and consequently, the producers) are always trying to work out a way to make it stretch further.
One good way is via co-producing, i.e. we split the cost of making a project over two or more countries that has a vested interest, and then we can each claim it as our own as a "national film". Arguably, the project should be culturally relevant to each producing country and there needs to be a fair split between creative elements and financial contribution, but on the whole, with a bit of juggling, it can work very well if the project calls for it. (NB: This applies for international producers entering into an official co-production with Australia, the project becomes automatically entitled to the Producer Offset rebate as an Australian project, up to 40% of Australian spend.)
This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.

Here are some of the better sites:
1 University of Wisconsin milk quality page at: www.uwex.edu/ milkquality/
Dubbed the "world's best milk quality web site," this is a treasure trove of information. The opening page - a bright and colorful "kid's drawing" - reminds you that milk quality does not have to be overly complicated or academic. As one expert explained recently, the No. 1 goal should be to reduce the number of bacteria on the cows' teats, and that includes following proper milking procedures and housing the cows in a clean environment.
Nevertheless, as we are drawn into the site further, it becomes obvious that a number of people have tweaked the milk quality issue to the "ntn degree." They discuss the fine points of bulk tank cultures, udder health, housing, and milking procedures.
Training videos, articles and educational posters on a wide range of subjects - they're all at your fingertips. The UW milk quality page also provides links to other Web sites, as well as Spanish-language educational resources.
By clicking on the "bank" icon, you can call up calculator or spreadsheet programs to compute the cost of mastitis and the overall financial impact of milk quality on your dairy. For instance, using your own numbers, you can calculate production losses due to subclinical mastitis or the opportunity to make more money from milk quality premiums.
And, you may call a toll-free telephone number with questions or comments. These and other features make the site very interactive.
Experience it for yourself.
2 National Mastitis Council at: www.nmconline.org/
The opening page is very simple and logical, making it easy for you to find exactly what you need.
Most of the information is of an academic nature, with numerous articles referenced to universities, scientific journals, government agencies, or the National Mastitis Council itself. So, don't go here expecting light reading.
It is important reading, nevertheless.
NMC also provides links to other animal health and milk quality sites.
3 Dairy Herd Management at: www.dairyherd.com
You can access milk quality articles and profit tips from recent years' issues of the magazine by using the search feature on the opening page, or by clicking on the "editorial archives" button. Simply type milk quality into the search engine and it will bring up 50 or more items, including articles from the June Milk Quality emphasis issues.

Differentiation of human neural progenitors into neuronal and glial cell types offers a model to study and compare molecular regulation of neural cell lineage development. In vitro expansion of neural progenitors from fetal central nervous system (CNS) tissue has been well characterized. Despite the identification and isolation of glial progenitors from adult human sub-cortical white matter and development of various culture conditions to direct differentiation of fetal neural progenitors into myelin producing oligodendrocytes, acquiring sufficient human oligodendrocytes for in vitro experimentation remains difficult. The need remains for a culture system to produce cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage suitable for in vitro experimentation.
Culture of primary human oligodendrocytes could, for example, be a useful model to study the pathogenesis of neurotropic infectious agents like the human polyomavirus, JCV. The JC virus (JCV) is a human polyomavirus that infects oligodendrocytes, which are myelin-producing cells in the central nervous system, resulting in the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) (Ferenczy, 2012). In vivo, oligodendrocytes are the most susceptible cells to infection while neural progenitors have very low levels of susceptibility. Because oligodendrocytes stem from progenitor cells, cellular events take place during differentiation, either on the cell surface or within the cell, that allow for higher rates of infection by JCV. There is no working animal model for studying JCV, so our lab has used human fetal brain cells for experimentation.
Neural progenitor cells were cultured in DMEM-F12 serum-free media supplemented with oligodendrocyte specific growth factors (Monaco, 2012). Using these conditions, the majority of the cells in culture maintain a morphology characterized by few processes and express markers of pre-oligodendrocyte cells, such as A2B5 and O-4. When we remove the four growth factors (GF) (bFGF, PDGF-AA, Shh, NT-3), the cells start to acquire more processes and express markers specific of oligodendrocyte differentiation, such as GalC and myelin basic protein (MBP). Phenotypic characterization was performed using video microscopy and immunofluorescence staining. Observing oligodendrocyte differentiation by tracking phenotypical changes of the cells can be very useful in finding the mode of infection and replication of the virus, which can ultimately help future JCV research.

Hernias are usually associated with overstraining. However, a hiatus cannot really be said to be caused by anything that you might have done, except perhaps overeating to the point of obesity. Nonetheless, its symptoms are all too real to those affected and can be painful in the extreme.
It is important to understand the anatomy of the chest area before grasping how a hiatus hernia comes about. The stomach lies immediately under the diaphragm, a muscular sheet which separates the chest from the abdomen. The gullet (oesophagus) passes through a small opening in the diaphragm in order to reach the stomach. Normally, the stomach end of the oesophagus and its muscular control ring (sphincter) lie just beneath the diaphragm. When the stomach is distended, pressure pushes upwards against the diaphragm and this closes the sphincter, preventing the stomach contents from passing back up into the gullet.
Sometimes, however, the junction of the gullet and the stomach slips up through the oesophageal opening in the diaphragm and into the chest. This is called a hiatus hernia and the main effect is that the mechanism which prevents regurgitation into the gullet cannot operate properly and so the acidified and highly irritating stomach contents are able to move up into the gullet, damaging the lining and causing a condition called esophagitis.
Hiatus hernias are most common in middle-aged and elderly women, especially in the obese. They cause severe heartburn (a deep burning pain behind the breast bone) made worse by bending forward, by straining and by lying down. The pain is so intense that it often disturbs sleep and can be mistaken for a heart attack. Other symptoms of hiatus hernia and the associated esophagitis include acid in the mouth (water brash) and difficulty in swallowing. Sometimes, the condition is complicated by ulceration, bleeding, scarring, and narrowing of the gullet. In such cases, anaemia can result from blood loss. Long-term hiatus hernia can cause dangerous changes in the cells lining the oesophagus and some authorities believe this may progress to cancer.
In the first instance, a patient will be advised to lose weight if obesity is part of the problem. More generally, you will be recommended to eat small meals; avoid fatty foods, aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-flammatory drugs; avoid too much bending from the waster; and sleep with the head of the bed raised. In some cases, H-2 receptor antagonists such as Zantac (cimetidine) or rantidine are prescribed. If all else falls, surgery may be a last resort.
Any persisting or severe discomfort in the throat, chest or upper abdomen – all of which can be caused by a hiatus hernia – should be reviewed by a physician. Complementary treatment is generally effective and can safely be used, but occasional review by your physician is recommended if symptoms persist.
With hiatus hernia an immediate adjustment to the patient's dietary habits is essential. We would advise consultation with a naturopath or an Ayurvedic practitioner. Once an improvement is noticeable some of the dietary modifications can be relaxed. However, given that there is a weakness in this area of the body, following a simple diet in the years ahead may be important.
Marma massage (part of the Ayurvedic system) can help a great deal by releasing the pressure on the hiatus hernia. Ayurveda may also use some exercises and medicines. Acupuncture and Shiatsu are very effective, especially when combined with dietary modifications. Homeopathy can help relieve the symptoms.
According to traditional Indian medicine, the digestive function is controlled by the lower part of the brain which is located at the back of the neck. If the muscles in the neck become weak, it produces pressure in the stomach area and this can result in a hiatus hernia. A Marma therapist would use the traditional Indian deep-massage techniques on Marma points on the neck to tone up the muscles and relieve the pressure on the hiatus hernia area. Depending on the symptoms – for example, if the patient was producing a lot of gas or acidity – Ayurvedic medicines would be prescribed to complement the massage.
Since a hiatus hernia is a mechanical condition, the following Ayurvedic advice should be followed:
These principles apply to all hiatus hernia sufferers, but after a consultation Ayurvedic medicines or exercises may also be prescribed to suit the individual case.
This ancient Japanese pressure-point massage technique has been known to be effective in the treatment of hiatus hernia. Firstly, a consultant would ascertain what was needed from a diagnosis of the meridians and a consideration of all the functional, structural, and emotional levels of the body. They would also look at the quality of muscle tone and the meridians that govern the muscles, stomach, and digestive system in general. Diet and exercise are obviously important and these areas would also be investigated. Shiatsu can help a hiatus hernia not only by relaxing the muscles, but also by strengthening and contracting them so that they start to pull themselves back together. At least four treatments would be required to produce good results.
The philosophy of homeopathy is to treat the whole person by boosting the body's own healing powers. It cannot "cure" a hiatus hernia, but three or four consultations with a homeopath should result in a marked improvement in symptoms in most cases. Arsencium or Nux may be used to relieve the discomfort of heartburn, and Bryonia to counteract the acid taste in the mouth. Dietary changes may also be recommended.
According to Chinese medicine, a hiatus hernia is caused by energy blockages. These are cleared by inserting needles at points along the liver and stomach meridians. The liver is seen as a yin organ (the passive, gentle aspect) and the stomach as a yang (positive, aggressive) – the aim, is always with Chinese medicine, is to achieve a balance between the two.

This was submitted by a customer and we thought it was worth republishing although we should point out that we have dialed an awful lot of 800 numbers over the years and this certainly isn't typical.
As you know, I am trying to get a specific vanity number. Well, when I called this number using one of the toll free prefixes, it turned out to be a sex talk line. As soon as I realized this, I hung up. Unfortunately, I had neglected to block my number from caller ID. Thus, the sex talk business now had my number. Much to my chagrin, they started texting me to try to entice me to call the sex talk number. Messages like; Hey baby, I'm hot and horney. Call me tonight."
As if this wasn't bad enough, salt was being rubbed in my wound because, with my phone plan, I am charged 20 cents for every incoming text message. So, in addition to being assaulted with this crap, I had to pay for it.
Even under the new "do not call registry" law, a company can continue to call you for up to 90 days from the date of the last business relationship. I knew they would maintain that my dialing their number constituted a business relationship. Plus, the only number I had to call them to attempt to complain was the sex talk number and I would be charged $1.99 a minute if I called that number.
With the number of text messages they were sending me on a daily basis, it was starting to get expensive and I was desparate to put an end to this harrassment without changing my phone number. What was I to do…?
On the 3rd day of receiving these texts, I can up with a brilliant idea. I would threaten them with the loss of what was most valuable to them; the effective loss of their vanity number.
The next time I received a text from them, I sent them a reply text which read, as follows;
"If you do not remove my number from your call list, I will set my computer to continuously dial your number and keep it jammed so you can't receive any other calls."
I haven't received any more texts from them.
Thanks for yoiu help in attempting to obtain my vanity number. I'm looking foward to hearing from you.

Mofaz to Fight Levy Report
Shaul Mofaz, head of the Kadima party, attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu on Wednesday for his plan to try to legally pass the Levy Report (on the Israeli Territories). Mofaz says he plans to go to the State Attorney's office to try to block it.
According to Mofaz, Netanyahu is trying to adopt it because of his fear of the Feiglinites (Moshe Feiglin supporters in the Likud).
Mofaz continued to say that passing the report is not in the interest of the Zionism, and will lead to the destruction of the Jewish majority in Israel and the isolation of Israel in the world.Jewish Press News Briefs

Shaul Mofaz is right. The Levy Report is a disgrace to Israel, and should be buried, and not be a part of Israel's policy at all.
Why do you consider a respected group of jurists expressing their legal opinion "a disgrace"?

And why you think there is prostitution? Because your dear capitalism puts people in desperate situation, inst it?!
Comics is right on the money and for those who disagree with it I like to post what capitalism is. I have noticed that capitalist apologists don't even know what they trying to justify:
Capitalism means having a class of people who get incomes NOT from working, but from having a surplus of money and getting more money by lending that money to others who have a shortage of money, for a return on their investment. A capitalist is someone who lives off of UNearned income, by providing capital.
Capitalists are the real freeloaders!
