Skip to comments.MAGIC JOHNSON WINS AUCTION FOR DODGERS!
Posted on 03/27/2012 8:21:24 PM PDT by doug from upland
Magic Johnson Wins Auction for Dodgers Basketball legend Magic Johnson led a group that won an auction for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, marking the final chapter of in a soap-opera style saga for the legendary franchise.
Johnson has a reputation as a capable businessman. This could be good development for the Blue Crew.
Good news for los Doyers if he isn't letting Frank McCourt keep the parking lots.
I guess it's cool. I lost interest in the Dodgers when they traded Steve Garvey.
Agreed. Magic brought thinkinkg to basketball, then used that to his numerous and very successful businesses.
And, of course, L.A. will LOVE having him as part of yet another historic local sports franchise.
Just read that if this goes through McCourt will make a $900 million dollar profit
Actually the Dodgers did not trade Garvey, he declared free agency and signed with the Padres. Probably a good move on the Dodgers' part. I noticed a downgrade on Garvey's abilities in 1982 and that was his last good year.
I was very happy that Mark Cuban did not buy the Dodgers.
Left field pavillion seats at $50?
Baseball used to be a TEAM sport and the Dodgers had a team attitude. They had the same infield for almost a decade with Garvey, Sacks and Lopes and the same pitching staff with Hersheiser and Sutton and Charlie Hough and you equated the players with the city and the city with the team.
After Garvey left there was never again that cohesive team spirit on the Dodgers and worse, the whole of major league baseball became nothing more than a business venture for corporations and billionaire capitalists.
I guess it wasn't just the Dodgers that lost my interest. I love baseball, but I just have a hard time getting invested in any team these days. No matter which team you are currently rooting for, the roster will change so much in the next 3 years that even if you are a season ticket holder, you'll need to buy a program so you know who's playing on YOUR TEAM.
Good thing the Villaraigosa group didn't get it and move the team to Mexico. (There was not really a Villaraigosa group.)
here's the ESPN link
Magic just tweeted out confirmation.
FYI....MLB had appointed a committee of three owners to review the financial statements of the various groups bidding for the Dodgers. One of the owners...none other than NY Mets owner Fred Wilpon..he of the Bernie Madoff connection....
1.1 bil was sale of Miami Dolphins, the second highest sports franchise. Good grief is this ever a lot of money.
FWIIW, I get a bit misty remembering the Iron Curtain Infield and the Big Blue Wrecking Crew.
That was my entire childhood.
Hear Vinnie call the 9th inning of Sandy's perfecto ==
I listened to this one with a crappy transistor radio on my parents' kitchen.
Went to game 4 of the World Series, sat at the very top of the RF pavilion. Just missed catching Wes Parker's homer as I was walking up the steps.
Batting against him [Don Drysdale] is the same as making a date with the dentist. Dick Groat[5]
Don Drysdale would consider an intentional walk a waste of three pitches. If he wants to put you on base, he can hit you with one pitch. Mike Shannon
The trick against Drysdale is to hit him before he hits you. Orlando Cepeda
I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, Do you want me to sign it? Mickey Mantle
"For every Dodger they [the Giants' pitchers] knock down, I'll knock down two of theirsand they won't be .220 hitters, either." Drysdale, still on the subject of brushback pitches; quoted from the Los Angeles Times
Ron Cey was at third base, Russell at short, Lopes at second and Garvey at first. One of the best infields of all times!
It was Cey, Lopes, Russell, Garvey.
I was there in 1982 when Cey and Yeager hit back to back HRs in the bottom of the 7th in almost the identical spot in left center to beat Guidry 2-1. Saw Koufax pitch his first no hitter against the Mets.
From Seinfeld— "No parking lot for you!"
Frank McCourt will still own the parking lots, so I and many other fans still won't be going to any games.
Billy Grabarkewitz played 3rd base...
Btw, I could never figure out how the Reds and Braves were "West" teams. Or why the Cubs were "East"
"No matter which team you are currently rooting for, the roster will change so much in the next 3 years that even if you are a season ticket holder, you'll need to buy a program so you know who's playing on your TEAM."
That is so true in all professional sports! It is almost impossible to root for a team these days. For goodness sakes don't get attached to any player - you will almost always lose out. Great for them and the money - no good for fans at all...
Interesting. I was always a pro sports fan. My interest in Baseball died when that great dodgers era ended. I had enjoyed all that team interaction especially Monday, Yeager, Russell and that penguin guy at third ... not to mention LaSorda and Valenzuela.
I grew up a 49er faithful. So, my football watching days ended when the Walsh/Montana dynasty faded.
My basketball heroes were always the Celtics and after the great Bird/Johnson rivalry, there was really nothing that got me excited enough to watch any more of that stuff either.
It seems the sports that draw my attention the most are where individuals have a make or break situation to get their checks; golf, tennis and pro cycling are more fun for me to follow now.
No need to move the team to Mexico. Mexifornia already moved in on the team two decades ago.
I lost interest in the Dodgers when Duke Snider retired.
"Johnson has a reputation as a capable businessman. This could be good development for the Blue Crew."
It is going to be tough to get out from under that debt. He dug himself a huge hole by grossly overpaying by half a billion.
My parents were at that game.
I was there when Drysdale set the record for shutout innings.
I saw the Dodgers beat the Reds on a Johnny Bench error!
I saw two security guards rough up a roudy fan in a back area of the stadium (they didn't see me watching them from above).
I saw Manny Mota make about a million game winning hits or long outs with a man on third.
Vinny (and Chick across town) were the soundtracks of my youth.
Ever see a chicken running around the outfield?
I'm still iffy. When to almost every game whenever the M's visited during the interleague games and the stadium is a La Raza convention. If you every sit in the wrong seats, you might end up like Bryan Stow.
besebol be very good to ju?
Reds fan also...long time one... ;)
Are you talking about Koufax?
He didn't win it alone, he also had help from aides.
Great. Now what about the parking lots?
>>Vinny (and Chick across town) were the soundtracks of my youth.<<
Don't forget Jerry Doggett — our #2 baseball commentator was heads and shoulders above almost everyone else's #1 (Vinny is in a class by himself).
I wonder if Magic is going to treat the Dodgers like his new TV network and only welcome African Americans to the stadium.
Wow, worst memory evah! Sacks aka Sax and Lopes may have played on a softball team where you might have two 2b's, but not the Dodgers. It was Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey in the 1970's (mostly)IF. Sutton was the 60's and 70's, Hough was the 70's and mostly out of the pen and the Bulldog was 1983-1994. If you saw this staff, you're the only one. The team spirit was its best ever when they won the WS in 1988 with a squad of over-achievers. Worst world champion evah!!
Video of Kirk Gibson limping to the plate and taking Eckersley deep in the World Series. Truly amazing. You never know in sports. Oakland was the prohibitive favorite, but the Dodgers got 'em.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (86 votes).
In short: Love running past iconic landlmarks with the roads shut just for me to run!In full: A wonderful run through some of the best sights in London. Appreciated the smooth organisation and a race that starts on time. Great goodies and enjoy the festival spirit. Hope they don't increase the numbers though for next year. Weather just glorious. A perfect day all round - thank you.Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: Awesome course, shame about the percy pigsIn full: Overall a great day, the course is incredible taking in great sights and lots of green. My only major gripe was the percy pigs all over the ground at the M&S stations - I managed to land on one and I swear I spent about the next 20 minutes carting around half of Hyde Park on the bottom of my shoe. Nice thought but badly executed. Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: Great day out for the runners and spectatorsIn full: This is the second time I've done this half marathon; it was a great day, and I beat my target of under 2 hours!The food and fitness festival after was great, with all the freebies. I like how they have expanded the event to include a walk, but why not expand it to a weekend long running festival, with a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and make the food festival last the whole weekend tooDate of review: October 13, 2010
In short: Really enjoyed the whole event from the fabulous route, the Tshirt, freebies and the very supportive marshals. My only problem was discarded percy pigs sticking to my shoe!Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: My first Half Marathon and a very memorable one at that.Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: The best big half-marathon I've doneIn full: Good stuff: lots of friendly marshals giving lots of encouragement, an excellent course, a brilliant Mizuno shirt through the post with gorgeous graphics, very clear instructions and a nice wooden medal at the end. Oh, and lots of freebie food along the way and at the end.A few suggestions:There were urinals for men but it wasn't obvious - can they be better sited and signed?Could the charities tent be a long, open-fronted one so that each charity gets to display its banners and can be seen from some distance away?And could the finish be reorganised so that runner goes through lane, receives medal, gives up chip, gets lots of lovely food? I heard stories of runners being able to leave the area but missing getting their medal.But thanks for an excellent event and for the support of the marshals.Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: Great all round half marathonIn full: Would definately do it again! Very well organised, great route and crowds! Only slight downside is that there aren't enough loos! But its not enough to put you off!!Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: First half marathon for me and had a wonderful day. Very well organised.Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: A victim of its own success?In full: Like all the previous reviews the event is flawless. It's an inherently scenic course that takes in all of the capital's landmarks and parks. The organisation is perfect; the marshals are wonderful, the crowds enthusiastic and for those lucky enough to start near the front it's flat, fast and a PB is guaranteed. My main concern however is the cost and the entry system. No half marathon, not even one staged in central London can warrant such a high entry fee and trying to secure a place online is a joke. This shouldn't be a problem for the organisers because demand now is so high they could probably get away with charging even more next year. What made 2008 such a wonderful experience for me was the route and the run. Two years on, the numbers have swelled and unless you are near the front you can forget any hope of a PB. It's a real shame because what started two years ago as a promising half marathon for London is turning into another mass participation fun run.Date of review: October 13, 2010
In short: Absolutley brilliant!!In full: really really enjoyed it and will definetly be signing up for next year!! :)Date of review: October 12, 2010

For thoes who have chated with Lew Best in the chat room (he hasn`t been on in a long time)
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
Sad to lose another member. Lew has been with us for almost 7 years. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
Regards, Barry
Lew was a great friend to us beekeepers and always nice to talk to him on chat, phone or in person. I remember his cross country Jaunts, stopping or meeting up with his beekeeping friends in different states. His heart was genuine.
See ya on the other side Lewy. Thanks for sharing a little of your life with us while you were here! I'll be a little selfish and say I wish you would have stayed with us a little longer. Peace be with you friend!
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
I was not around soon enough to know him. But my heart goes out to all of you that did. Peace and comfort to his family and friends.
Lew was a wonderful person I had the pleasure to meet him in person a man loaded with knowledge,he will surely be missed.

Found this amazing piece on youtube. I never knew how early Macca was working on this song (this was recorded in early 1969, while still a Beatle)...took until 1971 to come out on "Ram" as a solo artist. Fantastic, enjoy this:
And this guy has 158 other postings on youtube, mostly Beatles stuff. No idea how he got them, but some of it's amazing. Clapton's guitar solo on While my guitar gently weeps, isolated from the rest of the tracks. Incredible.
All I can say is WOW!!!!!

Legion Post 340 meets Thursday
HERMANSVILLE – The Floriano-Stecker American Legion Post of Hermansville will be meeting on Thursday, Feb. 16, at the club rooms at 6 p.m.
The Post faced a heavy agenda when they met for their Jan. 10 meeting.
Commander James Wash presided at the meeting. The POW/MIA flag was placed in proper order. Commander Wash gave the opening and closing prayers. He led the membership in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Joseph Bouchard, post adjutant, read the minutes of the previous meeting.
Dennis Trudell, finance officer, gave the financial report. It included the Posts' finances, the July 4 funds, and Christmas funds. The Sons of the American Legion account is in escrow.
Trudell gave the Christmas program report and it included the soliciting of funds which provided 485 bags of candy for the Hermansville and Faithorn programs. Approximately 800 persons packed the north Central Elementary School gym for the two programs.
Bouchard gave the membership report and it shows 85 paid up members. The Post is optimistic in meeting membership goals for 2013. Bouchard sent letters to those who have not paid their 2013 dues.
The mail included a Christmas card from LeRoy St. Onge of Buena Park, Calif. extending holiday greetings. St. Onge's father is a charter member of the Post, which started in 1934.
The service officer reported no one on the sick list at this time.
Ted Gurgall reported on the visit of Mike Dellisse, Menominee County Veterans service officer on Jan. 2 at the hall. Dellisse comes to Hermansville the first Wednesday of every month. His services are free and veterans and widows should make use of Dellisse trip to the north end of the county. Dellisse returned on Feb. 6.
A letter from Don Palmer, superintendent of schools, was read thanking the American Legion Post for the candy they provided for the North Central Elementary Schools' two Christmas programs. He praised the post for providing the candy for the past 78 years.
Approved was a donation to the Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette. The Post does this every year.
Also read a letter on the "Walk for Warmth" in Menominee County and the Post voted to make a donation.
Bouchard reported that the Korean War veterans of Post 340 have received their certificates of appreciation. There are 22 Korean War veterans in Post 340.
Volunteer workers took care of the sign on the premises and it is a big improvement.
Ted Gurgall is hall rent chairman. He can be reached by calling (906) 235-4842. The hall can accommodate upwards to 125 persons with excellent kitchen facilities and also the lounge.
A letter from the Upper Peninsula Association of American Legion Posts was read on the mid-winter conference which was held at the Reino American Legion Post 21 of Stambaugh on Jan. 18-19. James Wash and Frank Rodman attended the meeting.

BEIJING (AP) Du Jing and Yu Yang gave China its first gold medal of the Olympic badminton tournament, and at least one more is sure to follow.
Second-seeded Du and Yu overpowered the fourth-seeded Koreans on their way to a 21-15, 21-13 win and China's second medal of the tournament.
Earlier, top-seeded Xie Xingfang and defending champion Zhang Ning both advanced to the final of women's singles, assuring China the gold and silver medals on Saturday.
Du and Yu took control of the match in the second game with a seven-point run to make it 20-12 before winning when Lee Hyo-jung's return on match point went out.
"Winning the gold medal is a new start for us," said Du. "We are both young and I'm sure this win will motivate us to go forward."
Friday's win was especially reassuring for China. Defending Olympic champions and top-seeded Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen were eliminated in the quarterfinals of women's doubles.
China won three out of five gold medals in Athens and will be looking to better that tally here.
South Korea's Lee Kyung-won had her left ankle taped early in the first game with China leading 9-8 and said it contributed to the loss.
"It could have been a factor," said Lee. "But even if I had been in perfect shape it would have been tough to beat them."
Lee said she wasn't pleased with the officiating in the tournament.
"It was a privilege to play here in China but I thought things would be more fair," said Lee. "In both the semifinals and the final there were way too many faults."
China's Wei Yili and Zhang Yawen took the bronze medal with a 21-17, 21-10 win over Japan's Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna, who had beaten defending Olympic champions and top-seeded Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen of China in the quarterfinals.
After a closely contested first game, the third-seeded Zhang and Wei raced out to a 7-0 lead in the second game and never looked back. Suetsuna and Maeda committed a series of unforced errors to start the second game and couldn't recover.
Japan has never won a medal in Olympic badminton.
In men's singles, top-seeded China's Lin Dan defeated compatriot Chen Jin 21-12, 21-18 to advance to the final, where he will meet second-seeded Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia.
Lee kept Malaysia's best hope for an Olympic gold medal alive, defeating South Korea's Lee Hyun-il 21-18, 13-21, 21-13 to advance to Sunday's final.

First off, I don't think a hand mixer is an adequate tool to make a good pizza dough. It might work well for batters such as pancakes or light cakes, but for heavier doughs such as pizza or bread doughs, even if you'd use the dough hooks, I don't think it will cut it. I can't imagine a hand mixer developing a good dough structure.

IBuyPower, a leading maker of high-end personal computers for gamers, on Wednesday announced plan to bundle free netbook from MicroStar International (MSI) with select gaming personal computers (PCs). The move is likely to attract attention from students and other buyers in budget. Besides, it may become an interesting method of advertising.
Starting from Wednesday, IBuyPower will bundle free MSI Wind U100 netbook with select "Power Bundle" gaming rigs. The high-performance systems are based on AMD Phenom II or Intel Core i7 central processing units and feature ATI Radeon HD 4850/4890 or Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+/GTX 285 graphics cards and up to 12GB of DDR3 memory. Pricing of the gaming rigs varies from $1179 to $1849. Default configurations of Power Bundle computers are not optimal from some points of view, but end-users can customize them when they make their orders.
MSI U100 netbook is hardly something special: it is based on Intel Atom 1.60GHz processor, an Intel core-logic, is equipped with 1GB of memory, 120GB hard drive and features 10.1" screen with 1024x600 resolution.
IBuyPower positions its offering for those, who need to have both desktop and mobile personal computers. The company advices to buy a gaming PC with a netbook and take advantage of enhanced performance of its rigs as well as ultra-mobility of MSI netbooks. Obviously, the cost of the bundled netbook is "hidden" inside the price of the desktop system, however, the final cost may be substantially lower than the combind price of a desktop and a netbook bought separately.
"With a Power Bundle, users have more flexibility. Purchasing one laptop for both mobile and home use requires a sacrifice in both mobility and gaming power. The lightweight netbook is more portable than a 17" desktop replacement, which can weigh as much as 20 pounds and is definitely not the ideal mobile solution for taking notes in class or studying in a coffee shop. Additionally, a traditional gaming PC offers a superior graphics, processing power, and upgradability to deliver a gaming experience that cannot be matched by any notebook," the explanation by the company reads.
IBuyPower also offers customers the opportunity to upgrade to the 12.1" MSI U210 netbook, 13.4" MSI X320 or X340 ultra-slim notebooks, or the 16" CR600 notebook.

The Grey Cup
Statements By Members

Tom Lukiwski Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK
Mr. Speaker, green is the colour, football is the game, and last night Riders fans from coast to coast to coast celebrated a victory from the greatest football team in Canada.
As I speak, the Grey Cup is on a plane travelling back to Regina where thousands of fans await its arrival at Mosaic Stadium.
I would like to congratulate the Saskatchewan Roughriders players, coaches and the hundreds of thousands of fans throughout the Riders Nation on their championship season.
Head coach, Kent Austin, did a fantastic job throughout the year, and now the Grey Cup is ours.
Riders pride is alive and well, not only in Regina but throughout the province and throughout the country.
The Riders are a community team, supported by virtually everyone who has ever lived in the province. The fans are simply the best around. Riders supporters stayed with their team through the highs and the lows, and now the residents of Saskatchewan can be proud of last night's win knowing that a victory for the province is well deserved for everyone who bleeds green and white.
I would ask all members of this assembly to join with me in saluting the pride of the prairies, Canada's favourite football team, this year's 2007 Grey Cup champions, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Passport Services

2:05 p.m.
Joe McGuire Egmont, PE
Mr. Speaker, P.E.I. congratulates Saskatchewan.
For years now, Prince Edward Islanders have been putting up with inadequate passport services. With the new rules requiring Canadians to have passports to travel to the United States, the demand far outstrips available services.
It is unacceptable that Prince Edward Island continues to be the only province without a passport office. Receiving agents are not enough. They can only review applications, not process them.
Islanders who need a passport on short notice still have to drive to Halifax or Fredericton. This is not a short trip. It is approximately a 700 to 800 kilometres round trip, and there is the toll cost for the Confederation Bridge.
When the passport requirements extend to land border crossings next summer, the demand for passports will be massive. Opening an office in P.E.I. would reduce the workload in the other regional offices, would make it easier for Islanders to get their passports, and would free up constituency office workers to do constituency office work.

Mr. Speaker, at the recent Commonwealth Summit in Uganda there was a lot of misinformation being spread by some countries that were more interested in playing politics than taking real action on climate change.
Some of these countries wanted to let others off the hook when it comes to reductions. The world tried that and it did not work.
The truth is our Prime Minister played a leadership role by working hard with his Commonwealth partners to achieve consensus, especially with the developing world.
Canada's position on global action on climate change has been clear. Any agreement must include targets for everyone, especially the big emitters like China, India and the United States. We will not accept any agreement that does not include all countries, because everyone must do their part to reduce greenhouse gases.
As for the criticism from the Liberal leader, this is coming from a man who let our greenhouse gases rise to 33% above our Kyoto target.
The fact is our government was very clear about its environmental policy in the Speech from the Throne. That policy passed, and that policy has the confidence of the House of Commons.

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, asbestos is the greatest industrial killer the world has ever known, yet Canada remains one of the largest producers and exporters of asbestos in the world.
In contrast, on October 4 the United States senate unanimously passed Senator Patty Murray's bill 742, the ban asbestos bill. In contrast again, Canada in the last year increased its production and its exports.
Canada allows asbestos to be used in construction materials, textile materials and even children's toys.
On November 28 new research will indicate the number of common household products where asbestos is used. It will also list those children's toys.
Our Department of Justice lawyers are acting like international globe-trotting propagandists for the asbestos industry as it pollutes the third world and developing nations with this carcinogen. The Canadian Cancer Society condemns asbestos and calls for its ban, as does the World Health Organization and the ILO.

Mr. Speaker, November is health month.
Tommy Douglas saw health insurance as a way to keep people healthy, and not only to get them back on their feet again when illness strikes.
November is also the start of flu season.
An estimated 10% to 25% of Canadians may get the flu each year. Although most people recover completely, 4,000 to 8,000 Canadians, mostly seniors, die every year from pneumonia related to flu, and many others die from other serious complications of flu.
Rolling up their sleeves to get a flu shot is the simplest and best way people can protect themselves.
I remind my colleagues here in the House of Commons that they can get their flu shots at the clinic being run tomorrow.
I encourage all Canadians across the country this winter to wash their hands, stay home when they are contagious, and roll up their sleeves to win.
Antonio Lamer

November 26th, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
Réal Ménard Hochelaga, QC
Mr. Speaker, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Antonio Lamer, passed away on the weekend. This criminal lawyer presided over the highest court of Canada for 10 years, from 1990 to 2000. He was renowned for major contributions to law reform and especially for his interpretation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
He was involved in the landmark ruling that decriminalized abortion and he handed down decisions on native law that, even today, serve as points of reference. He also presided over some very political cases, for example the reference on Quebec secession in which he recognized the federal obligation to negotiate.
He was a founder of Quebec's Association des avocats de la défense and was the recipient of many awards including the Ordre du mérite from the University of Montreal.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I offer our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Antonio Lamer.
Identity Theft
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Albina Guarnieri Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week the government claimed to be addressing identity theft without touching industries that traffic in surreptitiously obtained personal information and credit histories.
There is nothing to prevent retailers from violating the privacy of customers by selling purchase histories, unlisted phone numbers, and credit information to U.S. based telemarketing firms.
Worse, these firms are under no legal obligation to reveal the source of credit histories they purchase to target Canadians for U.S. credit card companies. Regrettably, the same information that makes someone a candidate for pre-approved credit also makes the person a candidate to be a victim of fraud.
I ask the government to take immediate steps to prevent companies from selling personal information without obtaining consent.
If the government is serious about curbing identity theft, it cannot allow a free for all in the possession and sale of the ammunition that makes identity theft possible.

Mr. Speaker, at the recent Commonwealth summit in Ouganda, a number of countries more preoccupied with politics than with real change have circulated incorrect information.
The Prime Minister took a leadership role in working on achieving a consensus with his Commonwealth partners, especially those from developing countries.
Canada's position on global measures is clear: any agreement on climate change has to set targets for everyone, especially large emitters like China, India and the United States.
Consequently, we will not approve any agreement that does not include all countries, because everyone has to do their part when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As for the criticism from the Liberal leader, it is criticism from a man who has let greenhouse gas emissions exceed by 33% the objectives of the Kyoto protocol.
In its Speech from the Throne, our government was very clear about its environmental policy. That policy has been adopted and it has the confidence of the House.

Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the world agrees that climate change must be fought by firm targets and binding commitments. The world agrees, except for the Prime Minister of Canada and George W. Bush.
At the Commonwealth conference the Prime Minister stood in the way of progress. He sabotaged the conference.
Why is the Prime Minister leading Canadians in a race to the bottom on the worst ecological threat facing humanity?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister did is provide real and genuine leadership to try to get all the big emitters to accept binding targets.
Canada believes we have an important leadership role to play. Leadership means going first. That is why we have set aggressive targets: a 20% absolute reduction of greenhouse gases by 2020 and up to 60% and 70% by 2050, something we never saw under the previous Liberal government.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, essentially what the Prime Minister illustrated at the Commonwealth conference is that he does not believe in climate change. He has denied its existence his entire adult life. This time last year he was still talking about "so-called" greenhouse gases.
A person who lacks conviction cannot make courageous decisions for Canada or for the rest of the world.
Is there any chance this government will resist sabotaging the UN conference in Bali as well?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, much more than making good decisions, we have to take action. The previous government never did anything to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our government thinks this is very important.
Any agreement on fighting climate change has to include targets for everyone, especially large countries such as the United States, China and India. Why? Because the leader of the opposition never did anything to fight climate change. He owes everyone an explanation.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Stéphane Dion Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, instead of leading by example and agreeing to binding targets, the Prime Minister engaged in sabotage at the Commonwealth conference.
We want all nations to be part of the fight against climate change, but one does not lead by saying to others, "After you, you first", when one is Canada. We lead.
Will the government refrain from sabotaging--

Mr. Speaker, that leader had his chance and now he sits back on the opposition benches and wonders what might have been.
We are not prepared to allow the big emitters, the big polluters like the United States, China and India, to get off the hook. We need all the big emitters on board, everyone with an oar in the water rowing together.
The reality is he had his chance to stand up for the environment. The House of Commons gave this government a mandate and that member, as usual, was sitting on his hands.

For weeks at Lindy's General Store in Pembroke, Massachusetts, customers had been putting money into a can on the counter top to support Paula's People. Paula's People is a family team representing Paula Swanson, a victim of breast cancer. The team was planning to enter a road race that raises money in the fight against breast cancer.
Paula herself had been a regular customer at Lindy's for many years. 10 days before Paula passed away, a delivery man was caught on tape stealing the donation's can from the store's counter. "It's a disgusting act," said Josh Worrall, the owner of the store. …Read More →

I write today about what political insiders call a messaging mistake President Obama and other Democrats have been making for years in talking about the Bush tax cuts:
The long-held Democratic position states that the Bush tax cuts must not be extended "for those earning more than $250,000 a year." This is divisive, critics say, pitting the poor and middle class against the well-to-do. Besides, $250,000 a year doesn�t sound super-wealthy here in Massachusetts.In addition to being divisive and scary, the typical formulation of President Obama�s position is inaccurate. Income tax rates are marginal, which means they apply not to all the earnings of individual filers, but to adjusted earnings above a certain level.Thus, it would be more accurate, and more politically palatable, to put it this way: Under the president�s plan, every taxpayer will be treated the same. The first $250,000 of a couple�s taxable income will be taxed at the Bush rates. Income over $250,000 will be taxed at the previous, Clinton-era tax rates.Doesn�t that sound less onerous?
I have no idea how they've gotten this so wrong.� Elizabeth Warren used the typical formulation when I spoke with her in October, and I explained my position.� "I never thought of it like that," she said. "I'll use that."
I haven't heard her use it yet, but there's time.

Amoena's Everyday Bras: Can't live without them
Always appropriate, flawlessly fitting pocketed lingerie
Every day, you rely on a few critical items to carry you through — things you might say you can't live without. For instance, most of us don't leave the house without our mobile phones — or if we do, we feel lost without it! We women thrive on having that perfect handbag, the one that goes with any outfit. And we definitely depend on our tried and true, everyday bras – without their support, who knows how we'd end up!
Amoena is proud to have been creating reliable bras for women since 1992. That's when we introduced our line of pocketed lingerie for women, to support our innovations in silicone breast forms. Today, we're still fashioning high-quality, well-made pocketed bras…we're just doing it with more, well, fashion in mind!
Stepping out in style
This year's spring collection includes some great examples. One of our most beloved styles across the globe, the Lara wire-free bra, struts her stuff this season – in lace and two new colours. Playful red is unmistakably bold, and the black over nude combination is understated, but appears to reveal your sexy skin. The jacquard mesh and lacy detailing around the band add feminine charm, but they don't stop this bra from being super-comfortable. So many women call Lara their favourite style. We like it with a little va-va-voom!
From hot red to cool blue
The Karla collection, available in an underwire bra as well as wire-free, is another Everyday style with "special day" written all over it. The contrast of trendy blue with black lace combines comfort with temptation! The sweet boyshort brief is lacy but fits comfortably enough to wear during your normal, busy days.
For something soft
The Janina collection in a heather grey and ivory floral pattern fits the bill – and fits the body. Sometimes you might like a little coverage all the way to your waist; maybe you just want to keep warm with an extra layer. The gorgeous camisole can serve that purpose, plus, it's fully supportive with an inside, pocketed bra top construction – hooks in the back, and all. You might not wear a cami every day now, but you might want to after trying this one! Of course, Janina is also available as just a bra, in soft-cup (wire-free) or underwire options. It's a great addition to your neutral-but-flirty bra collection (you have one, don't' you?).
Build your weekday wardrobe
You're going to want a white lacy bra: Try Rebecca in underwire or wire-free. Its cup is modestly cut but still sits beautifully, and the adjustable straps offer padding at the shoulder for excellent support and comfort.
How about a smooth T-shirt bra? Lara to the rescue again — this time, Lara Comfort. It's like putting on a second skin because it's a microfibre fabric; and it won't curl at the sides —soft boning keeps it steady and supportive. Available in black or nude.
Your flawless fit
One thing is certain: It's all about the fit that's right for you. There have been a bevy of "bra-fitting" news articles and blog posts in the last several years. Luckily, Amoena has known the secret all along: Have a professional bra fitting. Make notes about which styles and features work best for you.
And then, wear your confidence wherever the Everyday takes you.

As commencement ceremonies once again are being celebrated around the country, I was reminded again of the moral crisis of US education.
Elise Hilton recently surveyed the dismal employment rate among young adults in the US, writing that we have moved in twelve years from having the best rate in the developed world to being among the worst, following the path of Greece, Spain, and Portugal.
She highlights two possible solutions. The better one is from Acton's director of research Samuel Gregg:
Gregg says we must rely on free markets rather than redistribution of wealth, economic liberty, rule of law, entrepreneurship and the ability to take risks economically – all things that have made America great in the past.
The second comes from David Leonhardt, who, among other ideas, suggests, "Long term, nothing is likely to matter more than improving educational attainment, from preschool through college."
Notice the language he uses? Not educational quality, nor even job-training, but "educational attainment." With no intended disrespect to Mr. Leonhardt, it is precisely this well-meaning, widespread, but ill-informed mentality that has led, in large part, to our current educational crisis. (more…)

IM opposes Lake Antoine road closure
By LINDA LOBECK
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – The Iron Mountain City Council weighed in on the Dickinson County Road Commission's intention to close the Lake Antoine Road to truck traffic during the spring break up with the consensus being that they were against this plan.
Mayor Bruce Rosen told the council members at Monday's meeting that he had taken a ride on the road with Jim Harris of the DCRC and Denny Olson concerning the condition of the road right now. The road is scheduled to be redone this year, possibly in September. But Rosen noted they told him there are some scheduling issues.
"They (DCRC) would like our approval of this. They want to close the road to semis during the break up to try and extend the road to the spring or fall when it is scheduled to be redone. If they don't, the road will become impassable by the end of the spring break up," Rosen said.
After riding along the road, Rosen noted that there are already some very deep ruts. The road would be closed approximately 38-40 days.
If this happens, the truck traffic would then go through Iron Mountain on Stephenson Avenue/U.S. 2
"They are hoping that the road can be redone this year, but they don't know yet if it will happen," Rosen said.
Councilman Bob Moraska said he was concerned with truck traffic coming through Iron Mountain again and thought the passing of the road millage was so that the Lake Antoine Road would get resurfaced.
"If we start letting big trucks on the streets again in our downtown it's going to be a mess," noted Councilman Dale Alessandrini.
Councilman Collin Jacobetti added that regardless of what the city does, the traffic is coming to the downtown if the Road Commission closes Lake Antoine Road.
"We did have an understanding that it (Lake Antoine Road) would be done in a timely fashion. We don't want all those trucks coming through Iron Mountain creating a condition that is less safe and tearing up our roads in town. There is no advantage to us in agreeing with this," Moraska said.
Alessandrini agreed. "I don't want to see the trucks coming through the city. I don't endorse their mishap – I don't think it's in the best interest of the city of Iron Mountain."
Although Jacobetti agreed that the road is in bad shape, he felt that the Road Commission could stretch the life of Lake Antoine Road for 6-8 months with some maintenance done to it.
"I'm against traffic coming downtown from a safety perspective for pedestrians in the city. My only objection is due to the traffic problems that the trucks cause. The Lake Antoine Road is in bad shape already – how much worse can it get," Jacobetti asked.
Councilman Ted Corombos felt the issue was that the truck traffic was going to come through the city anyway regardless of whether the city endorsed the action.
Council member Kay Villa noted she agreed with both Moraska and Jacobetti on this issue. She felt that with the truck traffic going through the city it would be scary to walk the streets.

There is some talk about the food movement's winning. I'm not even sure such a thing as a food movement exists.
Yes, we have seen some encouraging developments: a promised reduction in the use of antibiotics by Tyson Foods and McDonald's, a marginal wage increase by McDonald's for a small portion of its worst-paid workers, a reduction of the use of artificial colors by Nestlé, Kraft and others; the elimination of aspartame in some diet drinks by Pepsi (to be replaced by different artificial sweeteners, of course); a more sweeping (and credible) announcement on additives by Panera; and Chipotle's claim to have all-but-eliminated foods produced using genetic engineering.
Wage increases and reduced antibiotics are welcome developments; the rest of this barely registers in its significance. Replacing aspartame with sucralose or high fructose corn syrup with sugar is rearranging the deck chairs. (The Panera move seems exceptional, but Panera is a new-wave company and has shown some principles from the start. They're not reacting to pressure from the food movement but from their enlightened chief executive, Ron Shaich.)

He's a Keith Hakim X Ellison kind of imam (Nation of Islam). via Local minister arrested in vice operation. h/t TROP
BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) – A local minister was arrested with more than 30 others in a vice sting carried out by Birmingham Police this week.
Dubbed "Operation Red Light," undercover officers saturated the area of 1st Avenue North in the Woodlawn area.
Tremon Muhammad, 36, was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute. Muhammed is a
sinister minister with the Nation of Islam in Birmingham.
His lawyer, Charles Salvagio, spoke to FOX6 News tonight, saying that something is "fishy" about the charges and arrests. He wouldn't elaborate.
Muhammad is also known for calling on the city to take action after a video was released showing six officers beating a theft suspect.

13. Chris Sale. Sale fell from a projected top-five pick all the way to No. 13, providing the White Sox farm system with a much-needed stud prospect. When you watch him pitch, it's like he knows what nearly every hitter is thinking, and he then uses any one of his three pitches to his advantage. It's an uncanny ability that could translate to the next level with the proper work. Sale is a top-40 prospect and possibly Chicago's new No. 1.

For Immediate Release
August 5, 2008
The 2008 U.S. Olympic Teams for Badminton and Table Tennis to Hold Joint Media Availability Tomorrow, August 6 at the Main Press Center in Beijing, China
BEIJING, China - The 2008 United States Olympic Teams for Badminton and Table Tennis will hold a joint media availability session tomorrow, August 6, at the Main Press Center for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The media availability will begin at 16:00 in Press Conference Room #1 of the Main Press Center.
Who: 2008 U.S. Olympic Teams - USA Badminton and USA Table Tennis
What: Pre-Competition Press Conference
When:Wednesday, August 6, 16:00 Beijing time
Where: Conference Room #1, Main Press Center, Beijing, China
The media availability will be an opportunity for journalist to speak with U.S. athletes that are participating in two of the most popular sports in China. All four members of the USA Table Tennis Team were born in China and speak the language fluently.
Jun Gaowas born in Baoding, Heibei, China, calls Gaithersburg, Md. home, but has lived and trained in Shanghai, China for the last three years. The 2008 Olympic Games will be the fourth for Gao. She won a silver medal for China in women's doubles at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. She moved to the U.S. following the 1992 Olympic Games and became a citizen before representing the U.S. at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia and Athens, Greece.
Chen Wangwas born in Beijing, where she currently resides and trains. Her U.S. home is New York, N.Y. Crystal Huang was born in Changsha, Hlinan, China and currently resides in San Gabriel, Calif. The 2008 Olympic Games will be the first Olympic Games for Wang and Huang. For David Zhuang, the 2008 Olympic Games will be his third Olympic Games, as he previously competed in 1996 in Atlanta, Ga. and in 2000 in Sydney. Zhuang was born in Guangzhou and makes his home in West Windsor, N.J.
The USA Badminton Team also has a very international flavor with three of its five team members having been born outside the United States.
Howard Bach(San Francisco, Calif./Orange, Calif.) was born in Vietnam before moving to the U.S. with his parents at the age of three. Khan "Bob" Malaythong (Rockville, Md./Orange, Calif.) was born in Laos before his parents moved him to the U.S. as a child. Eva Lee (Orange, Calif.) was born in Hong Kong before her family settled in southern California.
Mesinee "May" Mangkalakiri(Garden Grove, Calif.) and Raju Rai (Atlanta, Ga./Anaheim, Calif.) round out the badminton team. Mangkalakiri's family is of Thai descent and Rai's family descends from India.
Bach is returning for his second consecutive Olympic Games as he competed with Kevin Han in men's doubles at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. In August of 2005 at the World Badminton Championships in Anaheim, Calif., Bach teamed with Tony Gunawan, the 2000 Olympic gold medalist for Indonesia now living in Orange, Calif., in men's doubles to capture the first ever World Badminton Championship title for the United States. Bach will look to recapture that magic this August in Beijing with Malaythong.
Lee will be competing in two disciplines as she qualified in women's singles, as well as women's doubles with Mangkalakiri. Rai will be competing in men's singles.
In attendance at the media availability will be the all athletes and coaches that comprise the 2008 U.S. Olympic Teams for Badminton and Table Tennis.

Kawasaki disease is a serious and perplexing disease, the cause of which is unknown. Some researchers believe, however, that it is caused by a virus or bacteria.
Signs of this disease include fever, usually quite high, that lasts for at least five days and doesn't respond to antibiotics. Fever should be present to consider the disease in the acutely ill child.
In addition, four of the six following signs are present in the typical case:
Kawasaki disease causes inflammation of the blood vessels; in some cases this includes the arteries of the heart (the coronary arteries). This inflammation weakens the walls of the blood vessels. In most cases the blood vessels return to normal after several months, but in some cases they remain weakened and may even balloon out, causing aneurysms (blood-filled swellings of the blood vessels).
Kawasaki disease occurs most frequently in Japan and Korea and in individuals of Japanese and Korean ancestry, but it can be found among all racial groups and on every continent. The exact number of cases are not known, but it is probably between 5,000 and 10,000 per year in the U.S., typically among older infants and preschoolers.
Kawasaki disease does not appear to be contagious. It is extremely uncommon for two children in the same household to get the disease. Likewise, it does not spread among children in child care centers, where there is daily close contact.
Although Kawasaki disease can occur in community outbreaks, particularly in the winter and early spring, no one knows the cause. The peak age of occurrence in the United States is between six months and five years. Evidence suggests that Kawasaki disease may be linked to a yet-to-be identified infectious agent, such as a virus or bacteria. However, despite intense research, no bacteria, virus, or toxin has been identified as a cause of the disease. No specific test makes the diagnosis. The diagnosis is established by fulfilling the signs of illness mentioned above and by excluding other possible diseases.
Because the cause of Kawasaki disease is unknown, it can be treated but not prevented. If it is diagnosed early enough, intravenous gamma globulin (a mixture of human antibodies) can minimize the risk of a child developing aneurysms. In addition to gamma globulin, the child should receive aspirin, initially in high doses. Aspirin can decrease the tendency of blood to clot in damaged blood vessels. Although it's appropriate to use aspirin to treat Kawasaki disease, treating children with minor illnesses (i.e., a cold or influenza) with aspirin has been linked with a serious disease called Reye syndrome. Always consult your pediatrician before giving aspirin to your child.

The Bite, Martha's Vineyard
What to expect: Try the amazing fried clams at this small, blue-and-gray shack on the side of the road. Though The Bite is known for hearty quahog clam chowder, it's impossible to stop at soup. Everything is fried, including the macaroni and cheese bites (which we highly recommend). Seating consists of two umbrella-shaded benches, but the beach is steps away.
Check it out: 29 Basin Road, Menemsha; 508/645-9239 or thebitemenemsha.com

Check it out: Tournament Wharf; 978/462-7785 or michaelsharborside.com
The Lobster Pot, Provincetown
What to expect: Waiting for a table, common during the summer season, allows you to study the immense menu, which encompasses just about every kind of seafood and preparation. Here's a hint: The clam chowder always makes a good start.

Two semi tractor-trailer of electronics were filled Oct. 27 when Egyptian Health Department held its first Electronics Recycling Day at the Saline County Highway Department yard on Feazel Street.
The items were taken by Vintage-tech Recyclers of Romeoville, according to a release from Egyptian Health Department.
Next year the department plans to hold Electronics Recycling Days in both White and Gallatin counties on days yet to be determined.
A landfill ban on 17 electronic items was introduced by the Illinois State Legislature earlier this year. On the banned list are TVs, computers, laptops, monitors, printers and many other items common in most homes. With limited options for disposal some of these were being dumped in ditches and illegal landfills.
