Big weigh in in the morning,Been sick for 2 days missed a day and ahalf of work really odd for me to miss work.Hubby got the flu then gave it to me I keep trying to find someone to give it to cause I'M SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!
Like Beb said really cold here the high hit 11 finally.suppose to be colder tonight.
One of the girls on our team said she has lost 4 lbs.Wont know how I did till 6:30 Friday. I refuse to weigh till Fridays.
Found a good pick me up-you cut a banana in half roll in it yogurt then in cereal put a stick in the end of the two halves and freeze for awhile like a crunchy banana popsickle.

Oh, yes, it's cold!! It's 1 today but warming up to '20' this afternoon. It will be a blessing too.
Good luck with your weigh-in, harley. I just think it's wonderful that you're all working together like that. It helps.
There's a newbie to the boards 'Mrs. Otto.' I replied to her and invited her to join us. I hope she comes on over and becomes one of our new friends.
Thanks for the banana snack idea. Sounds delicious. It's so fun to try new things.
Jenjs, hope things are OK on your front - mom, kids, hubby. Hope his work picks up soon too. Then you might get that eliptical.
Take care everyone. Have a great weekend.

Excellent harley!! Being sick really is the pits, it does help in the oddest ways you can imagine. I'm happy that everyone is soo excited! Makes it that much more fun.
Just be careful introducing your food back after not eating for that time. It can mess up your system something awful. Been there...
We were lucky on the cold spell....woohoo! I hate being slammed with that crap. But all thru next week we'll be in the 40s, heatwave.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend..

Heatwave must have moved down this way we are in the high 30 to low 40 this weekend.They say another cold spell on the way.Really hope not as bad as last one.
Walked 3 miles on the treadmill Sat. and so far have went 2 miles this morning.Sure does make you drink the water after working out on that thing.Oh well guess thats god for you too.
Hope all had a nice weekend.We had our company party last night.BIG DEAL you get to watch all the young people get drunk and act like fools.Same thing every year.Wish they would just spend the money they waste on the party for something alittle more helpful.Oh well!!!
Take care and all have a good work week.

Hi everyone. Even writing on a message board is new to me so I hope I do this right. It was nice to see your invitation Beb48. Thanks. I don't do this everyday since I have 2 boys ages 8 and 4 so they keep me occupied but I have finally put my foot down and decided to make more time for me and this is part of it. Anyway, it is sooooo beautiful outside so I am gonna go do some yard work and enjoy this unseasonable weather before it's gone. Have a good weekend everyone!!

Welcome, Mrs. Otto!! I'm glad you checked in with us. It's fine to not post daily. Come on over whenever you can.
Congrats on the weight loss, harley! Isn't that wonderful. You all did very well and it's so much better working together.
I lost 1# last week. I'll take it and be thrilled with it.
I'm going home soon. I've got some bronchial thing going on. I don't function very well on meds. Put me to sleep. So I'll go home and sleep. I'm sooooo much better. Was sick all weekend. Now isn't that the pits.
The walking is doing you all a world of good, harley. Keep it up. I can't wait for the good weather to walk.
Mrs. Otto, maybe our little guys will walk with you! Who knows.
Hey, jenjs, I hope you're feeling better.
have a great day.

Whoo-hoo! A newbie! Welcome mrs. otto! With 2 young ones it'll be a trick, but even the smallest things for you help in the long run. I'm there right now!!
Today I hope to pick out my elliptical! I'm sure gonna try. I take mom to the dr for pain mgmt this aft, so hopefully they'll try something better. I don't like all these drugs she takes, she's becoming immune to them. She asks way too much for them anymore. Not right to be 65 & being addicted. Fix the actual problem, don't cover it.
Ah, I will really miss my walks with the youngest to & from school when it's decent out. That part I'm not happy on at all, plus I'm concerned with what we'll do for summer for him. Not fair to keep him locked away when it's gorgeous outside.

Hooray, jenjs! You'll get some exercise now. Does your mom nap? Is she OK if she's left alone for short periods? If so, maybe you can walk your little one at least one way each day. Just a thought. I know she isn't well, but if she's mobile - or even if she isn't and you've just made sure she doesn't need the bathroom, a drink, something to eat - maybe she'll get wrapped up in a movie, a book, sewing/knitting - something else. That way you'd have a little freedom, at least in small amounts.
Harley, how great that someone at work is looking over your journals. That could be a wonderful help for you.
I'm feeling better. Not up to par, but I know that takes time. Bronchitis scares me because I've had pneumonia twice. The last time was 2/2006. I've had the pneumonia shot, but that doesn't ensure I won't get it again. I have never been that sick in my life. So I tend to baby myself with this stuff.
I'm at work. Got plenty to do. So I'm off to work. Oh, and harley, sounds like you really are walking. That's wonderful.

Still have to get the elliptical, can't wait!! It will be nice to have. I'm not able to leave mom, only if hubs is home & awake. Today she scared the crap out of me, I had to wake her at 11...then she didn't really want to get up, so she slept in her chair. So again I woke her to put her to bed. Who knows, maybe she's just getting some much needed rest. I'd love to be able to sleep like that! Or she may be getting pneumonia again. She had it 3 times last year, she's very prone to it. She has an appt next week, they'll notice if she does have it again then. So beb, be extra careful & from the sounds of it you are!! It is something to get, I had it when I was 11 & I only remember being sooo tired.
Harley, man, you make me envious! You go girl!! I'd be willing to bet you do very well on the journey with the weight contest. More power to ya!!

Good morning.
Each day I'm getting better. Yes, jenjs, I'm definitely being extra careful. The weather in our area plays a large roll in this mess. Severe cold, damp, them temps are up again, now we're going back down again. You just never know. Life in the Midwest.
It was a thought - being able to leave your mom for very short periods. Well, let's push for that elliptical. It will help you in weight loss, but I think it will help you emotionally too. Exercise is great for relieving stress. I would never have believed it years ago. But I noticed a change when I really started putting more effort into it - making sure I was moving more, taking the stairs rather than the elevator, walking to the PO at lunch time, just taking a short walk through town during lunch, water walking (which I do love but haven't been able to do due to scheduling), that came pretty much to a halt when I started having problems with my knee this past summer. It was hurting so bad I finally broke down and went to an ortho surgeon. I knew the history in my family - arthritis, etc. My sister had a knee replacement last April, and she's 10 years younger than me. My brother (6 yrs younger) has arthritis in his knee. Mom had it too. I knew what I'd hear. Yep, good ole Arthur came to call. I didn't opt for surgery. We went with a shot and so far so good. But to go from moving to not moving because it hurt so bad - big difference in me.
So after all that rambling, I'm hoping you get the elliptical sooner rather than later. It will help you in many areas.
How's it going, harley? I'm so happy for you with your work weight loss program/walking program. That is just fantastic. I am the benefit admin for our health plan. We started a Wellness Program last year. We had a short kick-off weight loss/exercise challenge. It's time for me to work on one for this year. That will get me motivated too.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Hi all....
Today got off to a rocky start. Mom's in a bad mood, hates everything & everyone. Unfortunately I get the wrath....all part of the package. Today I'm gonna pick out the machine. I need it BAD! Tomorrow hubs has 4 teeth sliced out, not pulled, but surgically removed. Whiner city here we come! plus Mom's attitude, well, all I can say is God help me! Or a big bottle of booze, but I'd rather not go that way....
Isn't it fun how genes affect us even tho we would rather they don't? I see how my folks are & just hope for the best. The genes in this family are the worst! Hopefully they can change a bit starting with me & go on better for the boys...
Good luck to all!

Hello everyone! Well, I have lost 4lbs since 1-15-09. Not bad I suppose. I have been walking and riding the stationary bike and lifting some weights. Sounds like alot but I only do each for about 10 min. So 30 min of work a day. Not bad concidering excercise is my least favorite activity ever!! Yes, my kids will walk with me..... to the end of the driveway. Then they complain.But I am able to get them to run. Then I am the one that complains about that...Hee hee. Anyway, when I walk, that is my time for just me I guess. They say it is good to have that time for ourselves. I don't get a whole lot of that time so I take it where and when I can, ya know? I haven't been feeling really energetic even though I have been working out.So I went and had my thyroid levels checked. Don't know when to expect results back. I only have half of a thyroid so I thought maybe it was acting up again. Doesn't hurt the check,right? I hope all of you feel better soon!! Sounds like there is something going around that I don't want to get sick with. Harley, sounds like you are doing great!! Keep it up!! Anyway, I hope you all have a good week.

Hey-Hey-Hey,Another fun day at work seems like everyone is getting hurt.Some have shoulders messed up some have elbows that wont work and some have knees that don't move very good.They make me hurt just to talk to them.
The diet lady said that she did'nt think I was getting enough protein,said you need protein to build muscle and muscle burns fat.Don't know if I've lost anything this week but my jeans sure do fit different.I think I'm losing inches and not pounds right now.Don't really matter I just know I feel SO much better.If I don't do the treadmill I feel really depressed about not doing it.Everyone I've talked to this week said they did'nt think they had lost much so far,but we are all still trying.
Jenjs get that machine if at all possible I think you'll really like it.May be a way to take some time for yourself.Sounds like you could use it.Beb glad you feel better and mrs.otto way to go on the weight loss just hang in there and keep trying we did'nt put it on overnight and we will NOT take it off overnight.
Will let you know how weigh in goes Friday.All stay safe and happy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there everyone.
Mrs. otto, you're doing great with 30 mins. Doesn't matter if it's 10 here and 10 there. It adds up. Great weight loss too. I do understand about the time just for you. We all need that and deserve it. So yes, I agree - that it and enjoy it.
Jenjs, how's it going there with you and mom? I hope she's doing OK and you got that elliptical by now.
Harley, yahoo! Your jeans are fitting differently. That's a positive sign. Can't wait to hear how the weigh in goes tomorrow.
You are so right. We didn't put it on overnight. Patience. That's so hard for me though. I have 2 kids - with the 2nd one I gained quite a bit. I felt good throughout the pregnancy. That was my problem! When she was a yr old, and my first was 3, I had a partial hysterectomy. Put on about 25#. Years later I quit smoking. Uh-huh, put on more weight. Little here. Little there. Pretty soon it's not a 'little' anymore. But we'll get there. We'll work on it together and do it together.
have a good one.

Very good harley!! You go girl! Now, hubs is doing soo much better than I ever thought possible, you all know how men are with being big whiners......but he's actually been very good. I'm very impressed!
I have to wait til we finish the basement with painting & replacing the carpet before I get my ellip....i'm bummed on that, but we need to finish that to do the upstairs next, so the basement is 1st so we have a place to be when we work on the upstairs. huh? It's all greek to me too!! Soon I hope tho, soon...
We are at 3 above with 4 in of snow & it's still snowing....we had 50 temps all week the past week, very spoiled for the dead of winter. Gave me some bad cabin fever!

Good Monday AM everyone.
Mrs. Otto, you just keep plugging along. You're losing and your moving. Isn't that wonderful!
Harley, yahoo - 4 more down. That's terrific. I'm mostly cutting back too. I do try to watch what I eat, but portion control plays a major role in it too. I really am working on getting in more veggies and fruits though. They work as fillers. It's actually working for me. I guess it's true and I haven't been lied to all these years (ha, ha). I just had to get my mind right and work with whatever works best for me. Weight loss is definitely not 'one size fits all.'
I've read about those liquid diets, even SlimFast. I can't go with liquids and then one meal. It doesn't work for me. I need to chew my food. That's not to say that I haven't bought some when it's on sale, kept it on hand for those mornings that I'm in a rush. I had that one morning last week. It works out fine for that. I don't go without breakfast. I do believe it's an important meal. But hey - I haven't skipped many meals in my lifetime!
I also kind of like the idea, when I can, of 'mini meals.' I believe that's one of the ways hypoglycemia (sp??) is treated, as well as meds. But in order to keep a steady sugar level, they eat 5 - 6 mini meals. Kind of makes sense. You keep your body fueled. So when I remember, I bring a piece of fruit for morning and afternoon, or one for morning and some veggies for the afternoon. I can eat it at my desk without a mess. I also drink plenty of water. years ago I read that's important for healthy skin and hair. So I do that too.
Jenjs, you'll get the elliptical. It's hard waiting. But what he said makes sense. You will need somewhere to go, and it is probably easier to bring a piece of equipment to the basement after the painting/carpeting is complete than to work around it. Makes perfect sense to me. For me - it would also be easier to afford one at a time. It will be wonderful when it's all finished and you deserve it. Sorry you're having mom problems right now. Glad that hubby did well with his teeth problems.
Now I must get back to work. Have a 'marvelous Monday!'

BEIRUT — Syrian rebels seized a military airport and an air-defense base about 10 miles east of Damascus yesterday morning and drove off with a tank and other weapons, according to opposition activists and video posted online.
It was a day of intense military activity in the eastern suburbs: By day's end, rebels claimed to have seized three crucial installations and 11 mobile anti-aircraft guns.
They also blamed the government for the bombing of a playground that killed eight children whose bloodied bodies were shown in an online video. An activist said the playground was near the seized airport and residents believed government planes struck the area in retaliation for the rebel attack.
Striking at government air power is militarily and psychologically important for the rebels, for whom the greatest threat is overwhelming firepower from government helicopters and warplanes.
Yet it has been difficult for the opposition fighters to hold seized bases because they become easy targets for airstrikes. Rebels so far have been unable, because of international reluctance and opposition disunity, to obtain significant amounts of anti-aircraft weaponry that could help them turn the tide in the conflict.
By evening, rebels claimed to have overrun two more government facilities nearby in the eastern suburbs.

Looks like torture prosecutions may not be off the table after all:
During a press availability Jordan's King Abdullah, President Obama fielded a couple of questions about possible sanctions against Bush administration officials who wrote torture memos. The president went a little further than Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs were prepared to go.
President Obama suggested today that it remained a possibility that the Justice Department might bring charges against officials of the Bush administration who devised harsh interrogation policies that some see as torture.
He also suggested that if there is any sort of investigation into these past policies and practices, he would be more inclined to support an independent commission outside the typical congressional hearing process. […]
Calling the Bush-era memos providing legal justifications for enhanced interrogation methods "reflected us losing our moral bearings," the president said that he did not think it was "appropriate" to prosecute those CIA officers who "carried out some of these operations within the four corners of the legal opinions or guidance that had been provided by the White House."
But in clear change from language he and members of his administration have used in the past, the president said that "with respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, I would say that is going to be more of a decision for the Attorney General within the parameters of various laws and I don't want to prejudge that."
Think Progress, which has video of the president's remarks this morning, added that Obama's comments seem to effectively put "the ball in Holder's court." And if the A.G. follows the vision he outlined during his confirmation hearings, Holder may conclude he has no choice but to pursue this matter.
Apparently, our current president's hearing is functional. Of course, the chorus of people calling for torture prosecutions and Jay "1984" Bybee's impeachment is thunderous and growing louder.
Sen. Patrick Leahy demanding Bybee's resignation.
Rep. Jerry Nadler carries the motion.
Rep. Jane Schakowsky does likewise.
And Senator Diane Feinstein tells the Obama administration not to take torture prosecutions off the table.
I'm sure I'm missing several folks. Didn't have much time to spelunk the intertoobz today. But they're enough to show the pattern here.
Over to you, A.G. Holder. Hang 'em high.

Supreme Court Returns Major Affirmative Action Decision to Lower Court
WI Web Staff | 6/24/2013, 10:44 a.m.
The Supreme Court on Monday sent a major affirmative action case on race-based college admissions back to the lower courts to be reheard.
In a 7-1 ruling, the court argued the lower court didn't properly evaluate the admissions policies of the University of Texas after Abigail Fisher, a white woman who filed suit against the school after her 2008 application was rejected, argued the university's consideration of race didn't meet standards previously set by the Supreme Court.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing the majority opinion for the court, said a federal appeals court "did not apply the correct standard of strict scrutiny."
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the lone dissenter.

In order to be able to solve these kinds of volume questions, you must learn to draw or at least visualize the area you are finding. I will help you here, but eventually you're going to have to be able to do it yourself.
First of all the z=0 bound is unnecessary as this elliptic paraboloids vertex is at (0,0,0). z is bounded above by your function. y goes from x to 1, and x goes from 0 to infinity.
EDIT: These bounds could also describe an area where y goes from x to 1 and x goes from -1 to 0, which may be what your professor is looking for since its supposed to be an enclosed volume

Main Forums > Someone I Care About Has HIV
appetite and weight issues
hey guys its been a while and i hope all of you are well. i wanted to ask another question..ever since november, after my boyfriends mom died from wasting and he had pretty much begun his own meds on a regular regimen, he lost ALOT weight (and i know its regular to lose alot of weight in the first few months, when ones body is getting used to it) and i understand his was probably alot more bc he was in and out of the hospital until march. but now hes all better feeling, he can walk, his eyes dont give him problems anymore..he pretty much seems the same person he was a year ago, before we thought he even had HIV; the only problem is his appetite. his meds dont upset him anymore, but whenever we go out to a restaurant or something, he'll only get a small appetizer and maybe eat like 5 bites out of it..i havent seen him really eat a whole meal like he used to and this affects his weight, bc hes not gaining any. I assumed that when his body stabilized to the meds, he'd start eating again and gain alot of weight back, which hasnt happened..he probably weighs the same as me and hes 5'8, while im 5'0...so u can imagine how skinny he is. i guess im just curious as to what others have done to alleviate the entire appetite/weight thing
It took me a while to gain my weight back. Some folks have trouble and smoke pot to gain weight others do it legally and are prescribed Marinol. I didn't have trouble once I started gaining weight. It has taken me two years though.
what about fat in your face? my boyfriend used to have really chubby cheeks and now its really sunken in..is there any way to fill that out?
When he starts gaining weight.
Hi, My Dr prescribed me Vitamins Complex b and c and they awaken my appetite. I felt i could not stop eatingTalk to your boyfriend's Dr to see if that could help him.All the bestJuan Carlos

Building on a foundation of existing conservation plans, the Massachusetts wildlife action plan provides a blueprint to fulfilling our responsibility to conserve Massachusetts' wildlife and the places they live for future generations.
Massachusetts: Diverse Lands and Wildlife
In Massachusetts, the landscape ranges from calcium-rich valleys of western Massachusetts to the cold, acidic Worcester Plateau, and from the mountains of the Taconics and the Berkshires to the floodplains of the Connecticut River Valley. The Atlantic Ocean shapes the sandy glacial outwash plains of Cape Cod and the rest of Massachusetts' coastal system.
The loss of habitat and the secondary impacts to wildlands and wildlife from increased water usage and pollution are the main threats addressed in the Massachusetts wildlife action plan. The primary challenge to conserving wildlife in Massachusetts is protecting enough habitat to support the species identified as being in greatest need of conservation.
Building on a Legacy of Success
Perhaps because Massachusetts is a small state with a large population where the negative impacts to wildlife populations are clearly recognized, development of the wildlife action plan was more a bringing together of existing plans though underfunded programs rather than having to start the planning process from scratch. For example, the BioMap project analyzed Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program data collected over many years to identify key wildlife habitats throughout the state. This information allows land- use planners from the most local level right on up to the broadest landscape perspective to understand why these areas are so important to the long-term conservation of declining wildlife populations.
The Ecological Restoration Program funds research that assesses the dynamics of natural communities before taking management actions to restore ecologically significant systems. The Upland Program restores and maintains early-successional habitats needed by so many declining bird and small mammal populations in New England. Taken together, these pieces and many others lay out strategies to improve our knowledge of declining species populations and create partnerships that will engage Massachusetts citizens in actions that will conserve our wildlife legacy for future generations.

Goodbye Chicago
Chicago Theater It's over. Three weeks of indulging in food fantasies, hanging out with my dear brother, exploring Chicago, went by very quickly. Oh, the clothes and shoes I bought. In China it's virtually impossible to find "western" sizes, so I had a good excuse to go slightly mad in Macy's, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Old Navy, and an incredible shoe store called Altman's, where they won't let you leave the store unless the shoes fit perfectly. It was old-fashioned service, actually measuring both feet, bringing stacks of shoe boxes for inspection, and fitting my hard-to-fit feet. Wabash Avenue, El steps, pigeons I even took a stab at riding a bike along the lake front. In my college days, I could easily make the 25-mile round trip from Evanston south to McCormick Place, but this time I was winded after just 45 minutes or so. 8 years of China smog, lack of exercise, and laziness have caught up with me (OK, age has something to do with it too). My brother and I visited the Art Institute on a (free) Thursday evening, to catch the Magritte exhibition. We explored Chicago neighborhoods I'd never visited before, and I experienced the reverse culture shock of returning to my home country only the second time in 8 years. Most surprising, I guess, was the friendliness of the people. I'm a native midwesterner, and lived in Chicago in my youth, but I simply didn't remember this kind of friendliness. It was a
I have been in Chicago for a litle over two weeks now. I'm here for two main reasons: to spend time with my brother Kenton, who moved here a month ago from Sioux City, Iowa, and to apply for my Z Visa at the Chinese Consulate, for my new teaching job in Suzhou. Among other things, Chicago is notable for its architecture, and for being a great food city. I also spent portions of my young life here, as a college student, and later during a transitional period in my mid-20s. The city had always held fond memories for me, and is one of those places that keeps calling me back again. To recap my journey thus far, from Chengdu I flew to Shanghai, taking the express train the next day to Suzhou, where I'll start a new teaching job in a couple of weeks at Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University. During 2 1/2 days in Suzhou I had just enough time, in between rainstorms that alternated with sticky, hot weather, to spend an afternoon looking at apartments. I chose a semi-furnished 2-bedroom unit about 10 minutes from my new university, paid the deposit and first 3 months' rent, then returned to Shanghai for my 13-hour direct flight to Chicago. I had originally scheduled my stay in Chicago for 10 days, but had to change it to 3 weeks, due to yet more delays in my Chinese visa process. It's been a long, hard process that

Top Goalies Take Stage at US Lacrosse National Convention
by Matt DaSilva | LaxMagazine.com | Convention Live Blog
Long Island Lizards goalkeeper Drew Adams, who will play for the U.S. men's national team at Champion Challenge in Florida, said coaches need to do more to promote the position and educate players on it. "I like the responsibility of being the last line of defense," he said. "It's a position that can really make or break a game."
PHILADELPHIA -- In a dim-lit corner of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a metallic orange cage and portable crease let US Lacrosse members know they've entered the Goalie Room, a new twist to the US Lacrosse National Convention this year in Philadelphia.
An impressive lineup Saturday included elite goalkeepers Devon Wills and Drew Adams, who will suit up for the U.S. women's and men's national teams Jan. 27-29 at Champion Challenge in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Both goalies referred to the people who play their position as "game changers" and recognized the need for specialized training between the pipes.
"It's a position that gives your defense confidence and gives your offense confidence, knowing who's back there," said Wills, the All-World goalie featured in the January issue of Lacrosse Magazine. "If they've got coaches who are willing to put the time in and work with them, they're going to be successful."
"The position has changed. It's not necessarily the kid that couldn't play middie that is now a goalie," said Adams, an MLL All-Star goalie for the Long Island Lizards. "As more kids want to play goalie, we have more need for instruction."
In response to that increased demand for resources dedicated to goalkeeping, specifically for women's lacrosse, US Lacrosse recently established a goalie education task force spearheaded by Monmouth University head coach Denise Wescott. The popular Coaching Education Program will also be revamped in 2012 to feature goalie-only programming.
"Goaltending has become such a redheaded stepchild in programming. Everyone thinks about offense and defense first," said Chris Snyder, manager of coaching education and training for US Lacrosse. "Through our Coaching Education Program and subcommittees, it has become a hot topic of how to actually teach this the right way."
The Goalie Room, sponsored by Bownet, marks the first step US Lacrosse has taken in its newfound dedication to goalie skill training. In addition to Wills and Adams, the speaker lineup includes Winthrop University women's lacrosse coach John Sung, Jupiter Christian (Fla.) School boys' lacrosse coach Justin Moe, Johns Hopkins University women's lacrosse assistant coach Michael Molster, Jacksonville University women's lacrosse assistant coach Adam Norton, Uncaged Lacrosse's Sean Murphy and Woodstown (N.J.) High School girls' lacrosse coach Dianna Eberl.
"But we can't just do this once a year at one location," Snyder said. "We need to do it year-round across the country."
Adams drew a captivated audience for his tips and drills, which included one recommendation that young goalies be introduced to the position using soft lacrosse balls to help them get over the potential fear of getting hit by the harder, rubberized regulation ball. He also encouraged coaches to show first-time players YouTube clips of great goalie highlights to get them excited about the position.
"I started off as an attackman and played goalie in hockey," he said afterward. "I had so much fun with that, I started to do it in lacrosse. I like being goalie because I like the responsibility of being the last line of defense, the leader of the defense. It's a position that can really make or break a game. Whether you're a good goalie or a bad goalie, you'll stick out during the game."
With resources like the Goalie Room and the Coaching Education Program, it's clear US Lacrosse would prefer that more goalkeepers stick out for the right reasons.
News and Notes
Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event established in 2006, will pit Maryland and Northwestern -- who have combined to win the last seven NCAA Division I women's lacrosse championships -- against the U.S. senior national team. Northwestern defeated Team USA 19-13 in 2006, the Americans' lone loss in Champion Challenge competition. "For us, it's not just that Northwestern beat us the first time, but they're the best. Other teams are trying to be like them. It's going to be a great game no matter what," Wills said. On the men's side, the Team USA roster includes a mix of veteran U.S. players like Casey Powell, Doug Shanahan and Matt Striebel, and first-timers like Adams. All players have their eyes on the 2014 FIL world championship that will be hosted by US Lacrosse in Denver. "It's the pinnacle playing on Team USA in any sport," Adams said. "To be able to play on a U.S. team with Casey Powell and Doug Shanahan is kind of surreal." Team USA will play the University of Denver Jan. 29 at 1 p.m... Adams was a three-time All-American at Penn State, which has become a factory for great goalies, including his mentor and former U.S. team goalkeeper Chris Garrity and current Nittany Lions sophomore Austin Kaut, who led the nation in save percentage in 2011. Adams and Kaut both played high school lacrosse for Springfield-Delco in Pennsylvania before playing at Penn State, as did Kevin Keenan, an All-American goalkeeper for the Nittany Lions in 1998.

What is in this article?:
- Thrips waning in North Carolina cotton, but what's coming?
- Decision aid tool
• In recent years, surveyed consultants have reported a significant increase in plant bug treatments, with approximately 6 percent of our cotton acreage treated from 2004 to 2007 and 16 percent treated averaged over the past two years.
Decision aid tool
Stink bug decision aid tool: With stink bugs in cotton, we now have a very straightforward scouting tool in the form of a field decision aid to help scouts select correct boll sizes for examination, recognize the appropriate internal boll wall damage and follow a dynamic boll damage threshold that changes by week of bloom.
It's helpful to remind scouts and producers that stink bug damage often varies greatly from year to year and from field to field. Our best bet in economically managing stink bugs is to make threshold-based spray decisions. In a given year it's not unusual for threshold-based sprays to vary between zero and three or four applications throughout the state depending on stink bug levels and cotton plant susceptibility.
Web-based stink bug app: We hope to have a web-based stink bug decision aid app (an on line version of the field card with significantly more information) posted in the next 4 weeks, accessible from laptops, desk tops, tablets smart phones and other internet enabled devices. This app will provide a stink bug ID guide, list scouting steps, illustrate internal boll damage symptoms, list thresholds by week of bloom and link to other related areas of interest. More on this in the coming weeks.
Cotton and soybean scouting schools: Beginning with next week's Pest News, we will begin listing the locations, dates and times of our upcoming July cotton and soybean insect scouting schools.
Insect updates: To listen to our Wednesday cotton insect updates, just go to the Cotton Insect Hotline or call the Extension Teletip number 1-800-662-7301 and press "2" at the prompt (pressing "1" will take you to a soybean rust update last recorded by Jim Dunphy in 2011).

Too Late To Post Something Excellent
Just got home from the three-hour drive down to Dodger Stadium. The good news? The Yankees won again – their eighth "W" in a row – by beating the A's 8-3. The bad news? The Dodgers lost to the Marlins. I feel awful for Cat of Cat Loves the Dodgers, since she was instrumental in getting me down to see the Dodgers in the first place, plus she outfitted me with a Dodgers jersey that fit me perfectly. (I'll post a pic tomorrow.) Could I be a jinx? I'm 0-for-2 in games I've attended this season. Maybe I should stay away from the ballparks altogether. On the other hand, I had a great time tonight. The Dodgers have a terrific organization and they make the fan experience a memorable one. I did clutch when I saw Torre standing there in the dugout, then making his way to the mound with that same peg-leg walk he always had with the Yankees. Sigh. But I got a big laugh when my buddies on Twitter said they saw me on TV with my husband Michael. Our seats in the Dugout Club were fabulous. We were closer to the plate than the pitcher was.

Good night Jane. Glad you had fun. I will recover from the Dodgers loss. Thank goodness it doesn't happen often. Congrats on the winning streak your Yankees are having. It seems everyone else won: the Yankees, the Padres, the Rays, the teams that matter to my good blog friends. If only the Dodgers could have won. What a perfect night it would have been.
Glad you and Cat had a good time but I hope I have better luck when I'm at Fenway on Sunday!
My husband at I went out to dinner last night but fortunately they had the game on in the bar. As a result, we watched the game through a mirror image — very weird sensation to see the batter running "toward third". Someone obviously told Joba to go ahead and celebrate when he felt the need. He did so on a number of occasions and I think it helped him keep going. I think he was at 84 pitches at the end of the 7th inning – that's incredible for him.
Boston finally one a game last night so we didn't get any more space between us — I'd really like to see us sweep before we hit the road and hopefully the Sux will lose a couple along the way.
Jeter made another milestone in his incredible career – he passed Ted Williams in total career hits — yeah, there are more than 60 players who are still ahead of him but the names he is passing now are pretty amazing.
Glad you guys had fun last night… how can't you have fun though at a ball game…
Now I see the Yankees are getting as greedy as we were… 8 in a row….. cool
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Saw you through the wonders of MLB.TV last night. Two run scoring wild pitches? Not too shabby. Maybe it WAS your 'outfit'.
It would have been a perfect night, Cat. But as you say, it doesn't happen often that the Dodgers lose, so hopefully they'll bounce back today. They're such a fun team to watch.
Going to a game is so exciting, Julia, and seeing a win makes it all the more so. Have fun on Sunday.
Diane, big milestone for Jeter. Congrats to him. And it sounds like Joba has learned that pace is everything and he needs to stay on the mound and throw strikes instead of wandering around and then nibbling. I'd like to win the rest of the games at home too, so we'll have a cushion for the road trip. That would be big.
That's right, devilabrit. Your Phillies had an 8-game streak too. It sure is fun while it lasts. I don't want the Yankees to ever lose.🙂
Jeff, my outfit wasn't very magical for the Dodgers, since they lost. Booo. But I really enjoyed the game. And if I'd known everyone would be seeing me on TV I would have paid more attention to my hair.
Cool, sounds like you had a great time!! So cool that you got to see Torre. By the way, I am finally reading your book, and it is soooo amazing!! I'm almost done, I need to finish today. Yeah, so that's why I haven't been commenting as much🙂 haha. Well, maybe. Anyways, I'm really enjoying it, and it was very well written. Some of the parts even stick out to me that could apply to my situation with the Padres right now. It's very cool!!
Hope you had a good time at the game. I've always wanted to go to Dodger Stadium but I'm never in that part of the country. One day.
I'm so glad you're relating to my adventures in the book, Kaybee. I think all of us feel the same kinds of things, no matter what team we root for. Lots of highs and lows!
You should make the trip someday if you can, Dillon. It's such a nice ballpark, and the Dodgers are a fun team to watch.
Sorry I did not get to miss you. I was sitting in the first row of the field level seats between home and Dodger dugout behind where Tommy sits. I asked Josh about you and he said he was going to tell you but I guess he did not see you at that point. After the 3rd inning I left to meet the train group as they kept calling asking where I was.
Even if we lost we had a great time. Then I had my friends in the Top Deck that I had to go see. At the end we were all together to watch the fireworks. usually I do not stay for fireworks if we lose but for my train friends it was their first time and they looked like little kids applauding and enjoying the show.
Sorry I missed meeting you too, Emma. Glad you enjoyed the game. We caught a few minutes of the fireworks and they were fantastic!

At the Consumer Electronics Show 2012, Nokia Corp. introduced its latest high-end smartphone running Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" operating system. The Nokia Lumia 900 also supports high-speed 4G/LTE connectivity and 4.3" AMOLED screen, the largest screen on Nokia phones so far.
Nokia Lumia 900 is based on Qualcomm MSM8255T 1.4 GHz "Scorpion" system-on-chip with one ARM Cortex-A8 core, Adreno 205 graphics processor with hardware acceleration for high-definition video playback, dual-channel LPDDR2 memory controller as well as GSM (GPRS, EDGE) W-CDMA/UMTS (HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+), MBMS, 4G/LTE support. The phone has 512MB of RAM and are equipped with Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g/n, G-sensor, digital compass, A-GPS, micro-USB, 3.5mm audio jack, 3-axis accelerometer and so on. Lumia 900 has 4.3" capacitive LCD multi-touch screen with 800*480 resolution, 8MP back-facing camera with Carl Zeiss optics, large aperture (F2.2) and wide angle focal length (28mm) as well as 1.3MP front-facing camera and so on. Nokia Lumia smartphones include "signature Nokia experiences" optimized for Windows Phone, including Nokia Drive, which delivers a full-fledged personal navigation device (PND); Nokia Music introducing MixRadio and so on.
"The introduction of the Nokia Lumia 900 with AT&T is another significant milestone in the ongoing rollout of Nokia's global smartphone strategy. The Nokia Lumia 900 is designed specifically with the U.S. in mind and the announcement of this collaboration with AT&T, in addition to other recent announcements, signifies a new dawn for Nokia in the U.S.," said Chris Weber, president of Nokia Americas.
Nokia Lumia 900 is coming exclusively to AT&T in the coming months in cyan and matte black. Pricing is unknown.
"Nokia and AT&T worked hand in hand to bring the Nokia Lumia 900 to market. Our powerful 4G network really amplifies the benefits of the Nokia Lumia 900. Sharing high quality images and videos with its integrated social networking functions is faster than ever; content from U-verse Mobile is more enjoyable on the crisp 4.3-inch screen, and with its huge battery people can do more without worrying about recharging. Together, we are working to supercharge the ecosystem around the Nokia Lumia 900 and the Windows Phone platform," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president of devices for AT&T.

Apple reverts iTunes song preview duration from 90 seconds to 30 seconds
Apple has apparently reverted to offering 30-second song previews, as opposed to 90-second ones, on the iTunes Store. Apple increased the length of song previews from 30 seconds to 90 seconds in December 2010, believing that the extension would lead to more purchases by potential purchases. But now, as reported by MacRumors, it appears that Apple has brought song previews to their previous duration both on the iTunes Store's desktop and mobile versions:
For example, previews of all songs on Sia's new album are only 30 seconds despite all of the songs being longer than the 2 minutes and 30 seconds, a length that used to result in a 90 second preview. Many other popular albums are also demonstrating the same short 30 second previews. Coldplay's entire discography, for example, has only 30 second previews instead of the 90 seconds of preview time that was previously available.[caption id="attachment_559449" align="aligncenter" width="549"] iTunes Store's 30-second song preview[/caption] While most songs have been limited to 30-second previews, some tracks, including certain songs in Apple's top charts, remain to have 90-second previews. According to some iTunes Store customers, the change took effect just a few hours ago. It's unclear, though, whether the reversion resulted from a system glitch or a licensing issue with record companies.

My current research examines the dispositif of the proper, the commons, and the body in contemporary Italian biopolitical social and political theory. My book Containing Community examines the economic, ethical, ontological and political dimensions of this dispositif in the debate about community between Agamben, Esposito, and Nancy (forthcoming SUNY Press, Fall 2016). I am also writing a series of articles that examine this problematic in relation to the biopolitical economy of guest worker programs, globalization and migration, and recent debates in Italian Theory.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA- Omnitrans is offering two-for-one fares once a week on its new sbX bus rapid transit line during October and November with a "Friends Ride Free Fridays" promotion, beginning October 3.
"We know that current sbX customers are our best promoters, so we invite them to bring along a friend for free on Fridays this fall," explained Omnitrans spokesperson Wendy Williams. "For new riders, it's always reassuring to travel with an experienced rider."
sbX service launched on April 28, 2014 with a free week that attracted over 3,000 riders per day on average. Since fare collection began on May 5th, average daily ridership has grown steadily from about 1,300 to over 2,300, an increase of 77 percent. "Our goal is to get back to the ridership activity experienced in that first free week by the time we celebrate our 1-year anniversary," said Williams.
The one-way fare on sbX, and all Omnitrans bus routes, is $1.75; a 1-day pass is $5. 7-day and 31-day passes offer savings for frequent riders. Persons with disabilities, seniors age 62 and up, and youth age 18 and under, qualify for discounts. Through Omnitrans' "GoSmart" program, local college students can ride free with their student ID if enrolled at California State University, San Bernardino, San Bernardino Valley College, Crafton Hills College, Chaffey College or the Art Institute of California—Inland Empire.
The sbX green line runs every 10 to 15 minutes on weekdays in San Bernardino and Loma Linda on a 16-mile route, including over 5 miles of dedicated bus lanes. Riders can enjoy free Wi-Fi and 110-outlet power outlets on board. Stations feature real-time arrival signs, ticket vending machines, emergency telephones, and public art. Traffic signal prioritization technology helps vehicles get ahead of other traffic. To enhance security, a security service patrols the corridor and video cameras at stations are monitored 24/7.
Complete sbX route and schedule information is available here, or by calling the customer information center at (800) 966-6428.

Yes, you read that right -- I said fall preview. Can you believe it? As much as I hate to admit that summer is rapidly disappearing, I always get a tad bit giddy dreaming of pulling out my chunky sweaters and tall boots in anticipation of the first chilly afternoon.
And oh my goodness, I'm feeling more than a tad bit giddy over Banana Republic's Mad Men Collection for fall. So chic, so fun and so 1960's. Do you love? I, for one, will definitely be adding some lace, pearls and a fabulous pair of cigarette pants to my fall wardrobe this year!

Comcast Thursday defended its proposed $45 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC - news) at a House of Representatives hearing as critics said the mega-merger would create a behemoth that would stifle competition.
Comcast vice president David Cohen told a House panel the goal of the merger is to provide a "significantly improved customer experience," thanks to the increased ability of the new giant to invest in key technologies to advance service.
The cable giant came in for pointed criticism from other hearing witnesses, who said Comcast's record shows a history of bullying smaller players that will only get worse if the merger is approved.
"Fundamentally, Comcast's strategy is to get everyone to pay them," said David Schaeffer, chief executive of Cogent Communications (NasdaqGS: CCOI - news) , a large Internet service provider. "When providers simply have no choice but to pay, these costs will necessarily be passed on to consumers.
"The proposed merger cannot be found to comport with the public interest."
None of the House members who questioned Cohen said they opposed the Comcast-Time Warner Cable deal, which would give the combined company some 30 percent of the US pay-TV market.
Yet lawmakers expressed concern that the merger would concentrate too much power over Internet and cable access in one company. But some said they were loath to wade too far into the fast-changing sector.
Comcast faced a similar hearing in the Senate a month ago. The huge merger plan is being reviewed by the Department of Justice's antitrust division and by the Federal Communications Commission.
House Representative Spencer Bachus, who chaired Thursday's hearing, highlighted that the combined company would be the largest pay-television provider in 37 of the top 40 viewing markets in the US.
"Size alone does not necessarily do harm to competition," the Alabama Republican said, while adding that "there have been cases in our country?s economic history of companies that achieved dominance and then exercised monopoly powers."
Cohen said Comcast has taken steps to abide by a pledge not to take more than a 30 percent share of cable subscribers, unveiling a deal last month with Charter Communications (NasdaqGS: CHTR - news) to divest some 3.9 million subscribers.
Cohen said the company's increased size would enable it to compete with other players from across the technology sphere, such as telecommunications giant AT&T (NYSE: T - news) and streaming providers like Netflix (NasdaqGS: NFLX - news) and Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG - news) , which is growing its video services.
- Potentially slower price increases -
While the transaction "has the potential to slow the increase in prices," it would not result in lower prices for consumers, Cohen acknowledged.
He laid blame for "continually spiraling" consumer cable bills at the foot of content providers, especially for costly sports events.
The remarks came one day after Comcast's NBCUniversal unit and the International Olympic Committee announced a $7.65 billion deal to extend NBC television rights to broadcast the Olympics through 2032.
Schaeffer of Cogent, which had provided Internet access between Comcast and Netflix, recounted how Comcast manuevered to pressure Netflix to sign a controversial deal to connect directly with Comcast due to service problems from increased customer traffic.
Efforts by Cogent to engage Comcast to improve networks were ignored, he said.
"A merged Comcast and TWC will make current anti-competitive practices demonstrably worse," Schaeffer predicted.
But Cohen said Netflix, which has opposed the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, told Comcast it wanted to deal with Comcast directly and "cut out the middleman."

Report: It Looks Like Corzine Will Likely Stay Out Of The Slammer
Rob Wile | February 24, 2012
(AP)Dealbreaker's Bess Levin reports (via FoxBusiness) that former MF Global CEO Jon Corzine will not face criminal charges for his role in the firm's diverting of client funds and subsequent collapse.
Sources told FoxBusiness regulators were having "a very tough time" gathering evidence that would have put Corzine in the clinker.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.businessinsider.com ...
That's because the "regulators" were likely in on some of this.
Although, you and I both know, that Corzine is an immoral and slimy criminal who deserves to be put away forever, he knew how far he could push and still not technically break the law.
They are under orders not to look too hard.
That slimeball knows where a lot of bodies are buried. If he goes down, do you think he's going to go down alone?
The fix was in from the beginning. The media is falling neatly into line. He's off the front page, in a couple months it will be "Corzine who?"
"They aren't looking hard enough."
Precisely, and they won't Jon Corzine, a card carrying member of the ruling elite .01%, remains free to roam one of his five palatial estates after stealing $1.6 billion from the accounts of farmers, widows, and thousands of other clients of MF Global. In his spare time he raises money for Obamas re-election campaign. The Federal government, Federal courts and Wall Street banking cabal have circled the wagons and declared the money just vaporized. No one is being prosecuted for this deliberate thievery. The psychopathic Wall Street criminals have been getting away with murder for so long they act invulnerable to societal mores and scoff at our laws, rules and regulations. Those are for the 99%. When you control the politicians, regulators, courts, and mainstream media, its easy to get away with murder. The jackals and hyenas are laughing in their NYC penthouse suites as they continue to collect $20 million bonuses for a job well done.
Future cellmates arguing about who gets the top bunk?
Corzine steals $1.6 billion and gets off Scott-free;
"Sandy" Berger stuffs his pants with stolen secret documnets - it was just "sloppy";
"Uncle Teddy" drives drunk and drowns a lovely young girl in his car - no action taken;
Bill Clinton rapes a woman - twice - and there's no outcry from women;
Yet "Scooter" Libby gets sentenced for disagreeing with Tim Russert;
and Tom Delay gets convicted for something that wasn't a crime;
Is there a pattern here?
I wonder when Republicans will have "had enough" and storm the corrupt courts and media offices?
Republicans get into office and say things like lets bury the past and work together. Hence the dem criminals stay out of prison and in office.
Sarah Palin fends off 54 bogus "ethics complaints," leaving her with $500,000 in legal debts and is labelled "a quitter."
I'm changing my tagline ...
Money will not buy everything, but it will usually keep you out of jail.
It's only illegal if you do this while Republican
money talks!!!
This nation become a sick joke.
We need to keep these things alive and make sure our children know about them. Right now, many of the younger people are blinded by youthful naivete. They need to see these examples of breathtaking hypocrisy at a point in their lives when their eyes have opened up.
If he was a Republican they would not be having a hard time!!!!!!!!!!!
So we see that John Edwards was right about one thing: There are two Americas.
In the first, a man can go to prison for defending himself against a moocher breaking into his home. Or he can be shot to death at his front door by a SWAT team looking for non-existant drugs. Or he can have his property and wealth stolen by the federal government on some crazed vendetta because he disagreed with an EPA directive.
In the second, a politically connected establishment elite can overtly violate multiple laws, steal millions of dollars from bilked investors and not even receive a slap on the wrist from the legal system.
It's all fixed. The only reason this is happening is because all sides are complicit. DC, NYC, London, etc, both sides are amoral.
Da fix...
is IN!
Not if Henry Bowman finds him first.....just sayin'.
Da fix...
is IN!
Criminal bastard.
The fix is in.
Paging Henry Bowman... Still one of the great books. It's to bad it's not eBooked. I have 2 hard copies and a PDF file. They do get passed around but I'm pretty careful
Apparently it was "legal" theft.
Obastard's friends never are charged with their crimes. No surprises.
"The psychopathic Wall Street criminals have been getting away with murder for so long they act invulnerable to societal mores and scoff at our laws, rules and regulations."
They are indeed psychopaths and are protected by their fellow political psychopaths.
"Paging Henry Bowman... Still one of the great books. Its to bad its not eBooked. I have 2 hard copies and a PDF file. They do get passed around but Im pretty careful"
Love that book. I had two copies but sold one to my manager. I kept the autographed one. :)
(a) Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D- NJ), used elected office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----G/S crony Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's assets to takeover the Japanese bank. Corzine said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored benefited him. (God only knows the insider deals he made with other Senators to get the bill passed.
(b) FAST FORWARD---Now Sen is Gov Corzine. He and G/S crony Brad Abelow---who Corzine appointed as NJ Treasury Secy---formed a private investmnent firm. The two financisl geniuses said they "did not know" that move was illegal for govt officials.
(c) Several NJ agencies went bankrupt with huge pots of money under Gov Corzine. $8B went missing from the Schools Bldg fund.
(d) Corzine, Abelow and Flowers---G/S cronies---all ended up at MF Global and presided over the disappearance of $1.2 billion.
All of this is no coincidence. Self- serving Corzine has always been about using public office to personally profit. .
CONGRESS SHOULD BE ALL OVER THIS MF'ers Abelow and Corzine misled Congress on several points
1. When Congress asked Bradley Abelow about "previously working with Corzine," close- mouthed Abelow reluctantly mentioned being Gov Corzine's COS.
2. Abelow MADE NO MENTION of Corzine appointing him to head NJ's Dept of the Treasury--- where the two con artists controlled ALL of NJ's tax assets.
3. Abelow and Corzine SHOULD have been pressed about their formation of an investment company while they were principals of NJ govt and controlled its assets. The two "financial geniuses" said they did not known this was illegal.
4. Abelow also failed to disclose his current position---as chairman of the EPA's Financial Advisory Board. NOTE: The current EPA head also served in Gov Corzine's adminstration.
5. Abelow 's financial activities at EPA need top to bottom investigations. We need to know why Abelow is witholding crucial info. What does he have to hide?
<><>Bradley Abelow, an MBA from Yale School of Management, served as chief of Staff to the Governor of New Jersey in the Cabinet of Gov. Jon Corzine.
<><>Corzine first appointed Abelow Secy of the Treasury.
<><>Abelow and Corzine were top executives at Goldman Sachs.
<><>Abelow was MF Global Chief Operating Officer; Corzine was MF's CEO.
<><> G/S alumni Chris Flowers controlled Corzine's "blind trust" while Corzine was in public office Flowers is also an MF principal.
ANALYSIS It defies imagination and common sense that these "financial geniuses" told Congress they can't figure out where the missing $1.2 billion transferred in and out of MF Global continually.....all done by wire transfer------called EFT's. There's a clear record of when, where, and how much for EACH wire transfer......like your cell phone bill. Each call is listed, the number dialed, the time of the call, and the duration.
Corzine and Abelow are making a huge mistake by underestimating the anger of those they left holding the bag----they socked NJ with massive debt, bankrupt state agencies, and a state pension fund 25% lighter, Billions of NJ tax assets are unaccounted for.
SO WHERE IS THE MISSING MF GLOBAL MONIES? Time to connect the dots
<><> Corzine is a well-rounded operator. As Governor, he left the state of NJ $8 billion in debt. $8 billion went missing from one state agency....other agencies like UI and the Transporation Trust Fund went bankrupt with no explanation why. The $82 Billion state pension fund lost about 25%.
<><> OBAMA-CORZINE CONNECTION Right before Corzios reelection, Obama sent $17.5 Billion stimulus to NJ-which promptly vanished. VP Biden is on record as having asked Corzine for financial advice----Biden has a son and a brother involved with the Stanford offshore fraud (Stanford is in jail.)
<><> MF Global principal Brad Abelow was Corzines appointee as NJ Treasury Secycontrolling ALL NJ assets. Gov and Secy started an investment businessbut the two financial geniuses said they did not know this was illegal.
<><> MF Global principal Chris Flowers handled Sen/Gov Corzines blind assets ......Flowers led the takeover of a Japanerse bank for CorzineSen Corzine passed a bill giving the bank a US tax break......said he did not know the bill benefitted him.
<><><><> All three of the above-named MF Global principals are G/S cronies.
<><> Corzine registered three corporations in super-secret financial havenDelawareBEFORE taking office.
<><> Ponzi king Bernie Madoff made a generous contribution to Corzines gubernatorial campaign.
<><> When he went to jail, investigators found Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America, ......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny and generate more fees.
<><><><> Then-Gov Corzine made several highly suspicious trips to Israel when he had no political reason to be there. Israel is the only place in the world where you can take a suitcase full of money to a bank- and noboody asks where it came from. Isreal also has many businesses in NJ funded with grants from NJ state tax coffers-----as well as a NJ-based Israeli Chamber of Commerce.
All of these entities need rigorous investigation.
Obama was desperate for Corzine to get reelected.
Obama pulled out all the stops to get Corzio reelected.....to no avail.
<><>Obama had his WH "geniuses" take full control of Corzines campaign.
<><>Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was there twice.
<><>Obama pro-Corzio TV ads ran relentlessly on costly NY media.
<><>Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine.
The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obamas WH geniuses.
(b) Corzines aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obamas pollsters took over for Corzines polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
(e) Obama sent NJ $17.2 billion "stimulus" which promptly disappeared.
(f) secret strategy sessions were held to suckup the latino vote;
(g) a Peruvian PAC endorsed Corzine.
(H) Corzio bragged he had 20,000 paid operatives (union members) on the ground election day, paid to get out the vote in heavily Democrat NJ.
Corzine (former Goldman-Sachs exec) lost handily. Corzine's NJ loss and VA win were the only two 2009 n'wide races held---and both elected Repubs.
Interesting that used copies are mostly in the $200 range and new ones $500.
"Some persons consider that plunder is perfectly justifiable, if only sanctioned by law." ~Frederic Bastiat before 1874
Both of mine were used from eBay. Yes, I got mine in the $150 range. It's a cult thing ain't it.
Both of mine were used from eBay. Yes, I got mine in the $150 range. It's a cult thing ain't it.
Just a minor quibble here:
Corzine stole 1.6 BILLION, according to the latest estimates.
I don't want the magnitude of Corzine's crime to be low-balled.
Thank you, and now back to our regular programming...
Hopefully, he'll spend the rest of his life embroiled in "claw-back" litigation where the burden of proof is less stringent.
It isn't Democrat vs. Republican - it's Insiders vs. Outsiders. DeLay was acting as an outsider, taking shots at the establishment. You'll never see an Olympia Snowe or a Richard Lugar or a John McCain getting charged with these types of offenses, either.
I don't know. I bought mine new when it was published at $28.95! I've only read it once and I've forgotten much of the detail so I'm not even sure what it specifically has to do with Corzine. (Things I remember most are the guy from the Warsaw Ghetto, and the guy who comes back from South Africa - I think - after being stationed there for work for several years and finds out that so many things have become illegal in such a short time.) I've been thinking about rereading it for a while now.

Comprehensive Description
Swima bombiviridis is the type species of the genus Swima, which was only described in 2009. Swima bombiviridis and its close relatives are pelagic marine polychaete worms spending most or all of their life living in the deep sea at depths greater than 1800 meters. Some, like S. bombiviridis, live well above the bottom and presumably never land and are exceptional swimmers, hence the generic name. The common name for this species is the 'green bomber' owing to a series of green spheres attached just behind the head that are easily shed by the animal when it is disturbed. These are also the basis for the specific epithet, bombiviridis, which is Latin for green bombs. Once detached, the bombs will glow with green light for up to a minute. Swima bombiviridis belongs to the polychaete family Acrocirridae. Nearly all other acrocirrids are benthic, living in sediments or under rocks from shallow water down to the deep sea. An evolutionary analysis of acrocirrids has shown that Swima bombiviridis and its pelagic relatives evolved from benthic acrocirrid ancestors and share many morphological features with other acrocirrids, although some features appear to have evolved to suit their pelagic lifestyle. Like its benthic relatives, Swima bombiviridis has a pair of grooved palps that it presumably uses for feeding. However, while other acrocirrids usually have four pairs of elongate branchiae (gills) behind the head that are easily detachable, in S. bombiviridis and some of its other pelagic relatives these gills appear to have been evolutionarily transformed to become detachable bioluminescent orbs, the 'bombs'. These may well not function as branchiae any more and instead these animals have evolved new structures that appear to be branchiae. Swima and its swimming relatives also have elongate paddle-like chitinous chaetae in bundles along their bodies that are quite different from those of their benthic relatives and are almost certainly for use in swimming.

A landmark bill introduced in the US Sente last week would upgrade America's outdated system for managing chemical safety.
The bill was introduced by Democratic Senators Frank Lautenberg, Barbara Boxer, Amy Klobuchar, Charles Schumer, among others.
The "Safe Chemcials Act" responds to increasingly forceful warnings from scientific and medical experts - including the President's Cancer Panel - that current policies have failed to curtail common chemicals linked to diseases such as cancer, learning disabilities, infertility, and more.
The group, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, praised the legislation, saying it builds on momentum from 18 states that have passed laws to address health hazards from chemicals; and numerous corporate policies of major American companies restricting toxic chemicals, including Staples (Nasdaq: SPLS), SC Johnson, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) and Kaiser Permanente.
"The world has woken up to the ragged holes in our federal safety net for chemicals," says Andy Igrejas, Director of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, a coalition of 280 health, environmental and business groups. "We need a new law to put commonsense limits on toxic chemicals both to protect American families, and to give a leg up to American firms in a world market that increasingly demands safer products."
The Safe Chemicals Act would overhaul the 35-year-old Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which is widely perceived to have failed to protect public health and the environment. Specifically the Act would:
"Under current law, EPA is powerless to act against even the most notorious chemicals," said Richard Denison, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and a leading expert on TSCA. "The Safe Chemicals Act would provide EPA with the authority it needs to protect public health; the marketplace with the information companies need to innovate safe products; and consumers with the comfort in knowing that their families are being protected," he concluded.
Passed in 1976, TSCA's presumption that chemicals should be considered innocent until proven guilty was a sharp departure from the approach taken with pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Since then, an overwhelming body of science has shown that presumption to be unfounded. Published studies in peer-reviewed journals have shown many common chemicals can cause chronic diseases and can be toxic even at low doses.
Once thought to pose little likelihood of exposure, we now know many chemicals migrate from the materials and products in which they're used--including furniture, plastics and food cans--into our bodies. The federal Centers for Disease Control has found that the blood or tissues of almost every American carry hundreds of these chemicals, some present even before birth. Yet under TSCA, EPA cannot restrict even the most dangerous of these chemicals and lacks the information it needs to evaluate how this complex mixture of chemicals affects our health. EPA has been able to require testing of only a few hundred of the 62,000 chemicals that have been on the market since TSCA was passed 35 years ago, a number that has increased to 85,000 chemicals today.
"This proposed TSCA reform would enable EPA to swiftly address chemicals that we know can harm babies' developing brains, and require testing of chemicals for safety before they go into products," said Maureen Swanson of the Learning Disabilities Association. At a time when we face increasing rates of autism and ADHD, parents and expectant parents shouldn't have to worry that the products they buy might contain chemicals that can interfere with brain development and learning."
Advocates predict action in this Congress despite the partisan divide. They point to support from many businesses for reform of TSCA, including major chemical and consumer product companies such as Dow (NYSE: DOW), BASF (BAS.DE), and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). They also point to the strong bipartisan support for chemical safety legislation at the state level, and public opinion research that consistently shows overwhelming bipartisan support for reform.
"The Safe Chemicals Act is a win for both public health and the economy. Smart businesses want to help make reform happen because it's in their financial interest to make safer, healthier products," said Igrejas.
Date Posted:
The potential for chemical reform is quite exciting, but it should be done in a way that doesn't sacrifice millions of animals (for toxicity testing) in the name of better protection for human health and the environment. The revised bill should mandate and create market incentives to use nonanimal methods. We need to ensure that chemical testing is in line with the 21st century and relies on modern, human cell and computer-based methods that provide accurate data on how a chemical acts and what the impact on human health may be.
