Free agent right-hander Ervin Santana may wait "days" before making a decision on signing with a club, Fox Sports' Jon Morosi is reporting.
An earlier report had suggested that Santana had reached a one-year $14 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays but a counter report stated he was waiting for another offer from a different club by 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Santana posted a 3.24 ERA in 211 innings for the Kansas City Royals in 2013, striking out 161 batters and allowing 51 walks. The 31-year-old has had trouble limiting home runs in years past, leading the league with 39 homers allowed in 2012. However, he has averaged 29 starts per season since breaking into the league as a member of the Los Angeles Angels in 2005.
Santana was tied to draft pick compensation after declining a qualifying offer from the Royals. However, the Blue Jays' two first-round draft picks are protected. This means they'll only have to surrender their second round pick (50th overall) if a deal is indeed completed. The Royals will obtain a compensatory pick following the first round of the draft.
Santana would join a Blue Jays rotation led by R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Brandon Morrow. J.A. Happ had projected as the team's fourth starter, but back soreness and poor spring showings have now jeopardized his rotation spot. Drew Hutchison appears to have the edge on the number five spot, with Marcus Stroman, Kyle Drabek, Esmil Rogers, Todd Redmond and others also in the mix.
Alex Anthopoulos maintained contact with Santana and other free agent pitchers throughout the winter after Blue Jays starters combined for an ugly 4.81 ERA in 2013. But instead of spending on free agents early, the Blue Jays chose to wait in hopes that asking prices would drop. It appears that their hopes have materialized. Santana initially sought a contract worth more than $100 million and had still been seeking a multi-year contract until recently.

WASHINGTON (RNS) This debate is about more than simply balancing our federal budget -- it's about our values as a nation. It's about how we treat the least of these.
The problem with virtually all commentary on the cutback in foodstamp allocations is that no spokesperson for "the poor" is willing to define who are "the poor" among us. It is nonsense to think that everyone on the public rolls ought to be there. Qualification requirements are lax, there's little or no investigation to determine whether participants are in dire need or that they are using benefits appropriately. Too many among us are familiar with instances of fraud and of people who are determined to use "the system" rather than pursue employment.
Over the decades liberal government has been successful in creating dependency, for liberals view this as the task, the mission of government, never mind our Constituion and the writings of the Fathers who created the document.
Clerics and others of "good intentions" deserve a hearing only when they acknowledge the waste and abuse in current programs and call for scrutiny in the allocation of taxpayers' money before and during the period it is administered.
I am a disabled 64 year old single woman. My income is just above the poverty level. More than half goes to rent for a modest 2 room apartment in one of the Bay Area's poorest communities. i receive $16 a month in food stamps. To
qualify for this I have to submit an extensive report every year along with copies of my latest bank statement and auto registration. I am grateful for this help and for the food I get from my local food bank.
Pingback: COMMENTARY: Cutting food stamps is a bad way to balance the budget | Columbia Faith & Values()
Duane, I am always curious when people make statements of fact, where they get their information from. Since you speak of the laxness in the process of getting food stamps, but Susan, who states she does receive them, but to do so has to prove her need through what sound like rigorous scrutiny, are you speaking from your real world experience? If not, would you please cite your source for this information?
I agree that their is more than likely some fraud in that program. It has been documented, and makes for good ratings as a news story for certain media outlets, perhaps because their viewership likes to hear these kind of stories, for whatever reason.
However there seems to be fraud documented in most programs where people can get something of value for nothing. This in an unfortunate defect in the character of those who commit the fraud, and should be dealt with as a criminal act when laws apply.
You also stated liberals have created this dependency, see it as a mission, then allude that it was against the constitution and the writings of those who created it. Once again, can you please cite your sources?
Although I am against all religion, I do agree humans have a moral obligation to help those who are less fortunate, and applaud efforts of religions to do so, as long as it comes without proselytization.
I am very curious why you feel 'Clerics and others of "good intentions" deserve a hearing only when they acknowledge the waste and abuse in current programs and call for scrutiny in the allocation of taxpayers' money before and during the period it is administered". Would this satisfy something within you if they did?
Perhaps we should all consider if we could all live life well, and love our fellow humans without needing to believe in a life after this one in either heaven or hell, but rather just because we should because that is how humans should behave.
Good day!
Mr. Gunter, thanks for your reply to my comment. Indeed, the experience of Ms Mulloy is one that should hold true for every welfare recipient. My wish for her is that she be able to increase her income so that she can remove herself from the welfare rolls. I also know that is not always possible.
That issues of fraud make good news stories is beside the point. Were there more "due diligence" on the part of welfare agencies, the problems would be greatly reduced. There are plenty of news stories documenting the government's own figures on fraud and abuse, but one must read and watch those news stories to discover it, and the mainstream media is good at covering up anything that might reflect badly on a Democrat administration. Curiously, they have no problem publicizing problems when Republicans live in the White House.
I am personally familiar with fraud and abuse situations.
Documented as well are statements made by officials or other employees in welfare agencies that indicate they are not concerned with "honesty," and naively assume that all applicants are honest. I doubt that "naive" is the correct word, for there's a philosophy of government held by many liberals that maintains it is government's first duty to take care of everybody for everything. That is the nature of "Progressivism."
If you read the Constitution, you will see the limits placed on the federal government by it. Also, take not of the Tenth Amendment. At the heart of the dispute between conservatism and liberalism and the culture wars in this country is the argument that politicians and jurists today do not respect the words and the spirit of the Document and the Founders and ignore the amendment process because they know they cannot get sufficient support for their ideas in the amendment process itself.
It is not "satisfying something within" me that is important. It is recognizing the importance of law and personal responsibility that is paramount. To put it crassly, "touchy-feely" types have little regard for rules and regulations or balancing budgets–until the matter affects them personally.
Here's a good measure to test one's sincerity about "helping the poor": the tax returns of these "helpers." If they are looking for ways to avoid taxes through the tax code and tax form itself, then they are not much interested in doing "their part," but in seeing that the rest of the taxpayers do "the part" for them.
You say that you are not religious. Fine. But when you speak of moral codes and "shoulds," you are appealing to metaphysical principles, on which religion is based. If there are "principles," there are causes behind them. Either that or you are making yourself the arbiter of what is good. That is actually the foundational principle for liberals who owe no allegiance to a higher authority other than the one they have personally created to justify their positions.
There is no way anyone can credibly suggest that the current level of welfare spending is morally justified. We could immediately return to 2006 spending levels on all of these programs and do nothing more than reduce the levels of irresponsibility and indolence in the population at large, not to mention obesity.
SNAP and SSDI are especially abused.
Mr. Lamers, Sorry if my previous first name address was too informal, I apologize. I do appreciate your reply though. I also appreciate your use of what I will assume is your real name. It is refreshing to see someone with strong opinions not hide behind a pseudonym.
The source of information is the point in many instances. What passes as "news" organizations these days are nothing more than political machines with a very specific agenda in mind. They feed both extreme left, and right people anecdotal stories designed to make them believe the situation is widespread, like this one. Unfortunately in many cases the people who are predisposed to want to believe these stories for their own personal reasons, eat this poison up and regurgitate it to friends, coworkers, and even in comment sections of real news stories like this one, without a thought about actually verifying this information from other sources first.
I'm sure that there are management and workers in the welfare system who are either not careful who gets the assistance, or maybe even has a bias towards giving it. However I don't believe it is representative of the preponderance of the system as a whole. If I am wrong, please provide sources other than right wing biased "news", so I can read it for myself.
You say you area "personally familiar with fraud and abuse situations". Alright, please do tell. Since you obviously have a very strong opinion about it, do you think this personal experience may have caused you to paint everything with that same brush?
Although I must admit I haven't actually read the Constitution in many years, I did heed your admonition to read the Tenth amendment. In it I find that the federal government has certain powers, which include providing general welfare to the citizens of the U.S., so I don't quite see your point, as it looks to be constitutional. Also with the last Presidential election, it seems the majority of the citizens of this country agree with the Democrats, who you so obviously don't.
"The Taxing and Spending Clause: States that Congress possesses the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, excises, imposts, to pay debts and provide common defense and general welfare to citizens of the United States". – http://constitution.laws.com/10th-amendment
I agree that personal responsibility is important. However we don't have a society where the opportunities are equal, and unless our founding fathers could see into the future, which I'm convinced they could not, they could not have seen the great divide between the "haves" and the "have nots" in our country today.
I find similarity in your "good measure' analogy with how I feel about Christians who are against abortion for any reason, and go to great lengths to express it, but not to great lengths to urge their fellow believers to adopt children.
I write about loving one another without belief in the supernatural because it really isn't about metaphysics at all. It is simply about survival as a species, which is the self serving cause, appeal, and motivation behind it. If we continue as a species to believe in fantasies, and keep killing each other for those beliefs, we will eventually either end our species, or make living in this world a lot less pleasant.
Perhaps (Maybe) we should all consider if we could all live life well, and love our fellow humans without needing to believe in a life after this one in either heaven or hell, but rather just because we should because that is how humans should behave.
Good day!
Too many people use anectdotes and unsubstantiated stories to justify cutting a program which provides the barest essential services to people on the fringes of society. Other than a feeling of "they are probably using it on booze and kool aid", the proponents of cutting such services don't have jack to support their position.
It is the height of hypocrisy for people to criticize lax enforcement of government regulations when they are the ones who scream loudest against "big government" and alleged "over-regulation". Too often conservatives do their best to undermine the ability of government to function and then scream about the end results of such policies. You can't have it both ways. Not if you were honest anyway.
What it comes down to is an antagonistic attitude towards the poor. The conservatives think of them as non-people. That is unless they are ultra-religious, then they are easy votes to mobilize.
How the hell can you argue for due dilligence when people like yourself consistently vote against the ability of regulatory agencies to function?
There are plenty of anectdotes about welfare abuse. Some of them true. Are they typical for the program? You won't know, you don't care.
Your constitutional argument is bullcrap as well. The federal government has an interest as well as all levels of government do in avoiding mass starvation of the poor.
Arguing "Founder Intent" is an ignorant garbage argument for people who want to avoid the last 150 years of societal progress. "State's rights" arguments when it came to personal issues took a permanent backseat with the end of the Civil war and the passing of the 14th Amendment. Too many people argue "it was the founder's intent" when they want to make crap up as they go along and want to forget that the founders also used to own people as chattel property and denied women any form of citizenship status.
Larry, the substantiated stories of abuse are legion, many having found their way into best-selling books. You'd have to look beyond the smarmy world of liberal journalism, however, to know this.
You have an odd definition or understanding of hypocrisy (just as many liberals today have an odd definition of marriage). Accepting as fact that the federal government is in way beyond the perameters the Constitution had set for it, conservatives have simply said: "Since you've assumed the power, why don't you exercise oversight to preserve the fiscal integrity of the programs and require evidence that they work. You cannot reference any federal government social/welfare program that has accomplished its goals or even demonstrated success along the way. Under Democrat and Republican administrations over four decades, funding for these programs has increased. You not only don't know hypocrisy, you seem ignorant of the facts that the federal government itself provides regarding its programs.
No, it does not come down to an antagonist attitude toward the poor. It comes down to 1) a refusal even to identify what constitutes being poor, 2) a failure to include accountability in the administration of the programs and among the recipients. Above all, it comes down to a fundamental profile of liberals: their desire to feel good about developing programs, a desire that totally smothers any rational concern for whether the programs work.
Larry, my voting and the voting of all conservatives thus far has not stalled the steady increases in funding and in regulation of any federal government agency. Provide just one instance where a bureau or agency has been eliminated or its power curtailed.
No, Larry, you do not accept the Constitution as written, and you expect that any elected president will be sufficiently liberal so as to appoint liberal jurists to the Supreme Court.
"Mass starvation of the poor" is hyperbole and the standard speech and writing format for liberals. Besides, if the programs you favor are so successful, why do we have the "mass starvation" that is present or imminent?
You forget that the Founders who owned slaves also wrote a Constitution that could be amended–and was–to end that slavery. "Founders' intent" refers to their understanding of a concept as they wrote the words of the Constitution. They provided for an amendment process to make any changes that the public want. They deliberately made the amendment process difficult, but the process has been successful twenty-seven times.
If you wish to provide an example of people "making crap up" regarding the political process, I'm eager to read it. Perhaps we will have here something of common agreement; perhaps an opportunity for more discussion.
Mr. Gunter, I have no problem with your use of my first name.
Concerning "news" organizations: I submit that conservative news sources have arisen because what otherwise passes for "journalism" today has ignored its fundamental responsibilities. Go back to the words of Peter Jennings. He is on record stating that journalists wish to make the world a better place. Indeed, they work hard to preserve the power of those who work for a government or a society as they the journalists want it to be. In short, they claim for themselves the power to define the "better" in "better place."
Conservative talk radio and news–some of the bloviating aside, of course–has gained increasing popularity because it presents elements of news stories or events themselves that the liberal media discard because they don't like the message that the news item conveys. A case in point: within the past few months over a hundred thousand people marched in DC on the Supreme Court to protest pro-abortion law. Not a week later some twenty thousand pro-choice people also marched. Only the latter march received broadcast media coverage. There are other instances of biased journalism that the conservative news source bring to our attention: citing the news item itself and how much coverage in minutes it received on each of the broadcast news programs.
As for a specific example, I will only state that a relative of an in-law had stated to the in-law that she will not look for work because she is comfortable with the amount of welfare assistance she is receiving. That is only one example I choose to present here. As I have stated elsewhere on this forum, there are best-selling books written that are chock full of documented examples of fraud, waste and abuse.
What is the "general welfare": of the U.S. and what did the Founders mean in incorporating that phrase. I doubt they meant that the taxpayers should provide you with a cellphone, and I doubt they thought that welfare should be extended to the same families through multiple generations. I fail to understand how politicians can look at forty years or more of a program's failing and continue to both fund it at higher rates and refuse to investigate it and force improvements or its elimination.
We also have people who refuse to do menial work and demand welfare instead. We have people on welfare who are able bodied. The rare instance where this is uncovered draws our attention. We have a right to wonder how many similar cases go unreported.
Not to mention, as today's news reported, that over a hundred million dollars in Social Security checks this past year went to people known to be dead. Why should we suppose, given prevailing attitudes within the government itself, that this disgrace is not also repeated in every other federal agency that expends funds?
Until drastic measures are taken, there will not be a change in the way we adopt and administer programs nor in the way that we as individuals view our civic obligations.
In other words your proof anectdotes that make you feel better about your position as opposed to any kind of study or real information about the subject.
"Accepting as fact that the federal government is in way beyond the perameters the Constitution had set for it"
What a load of crap! Your position depends on ignoring pretty much every interpretation of the Constitution from the 20th century onward. For conservatives it is really more like a matter of undermining the federal government and then complaining about its inability to do its job.
"You cannot reference any federal government social/welfare program that has accomplished its goals or even demonstrated success along the way. "
THE GI BILL! How is that for an example?
Public education is another program which by and large has accomplished its goals. Illiteracy in the US is almost non-existent.
As much as you hate SNAP, people in the US do not starve to death.
Motor voter programs also are an unmitigated success in getting % of citizens registered.
Attacking the ability of people to obtain subsistence food sources is nothing less than antagonism towards the poor. You have no business talking about accountability when you are trying to destroy a program. If you actually wanted accountability, you would not try to slash its budget. You would want it increased with conditions of hiring more people to oversee it. But that is too much "big government" for the likes of those like yourself. Oversight and accountability are dirty words to conservatives.
Constitutional Law is not like Bible Study. Its interpretation is meant to change over time. Maybe you should learn about how our judiciary works before you spout off such nonsense.
"As it was written" would ignore most of its developments in the last 150 years, including the greatest expansion of federal power since its inception, the 14th Amendment. The part of the constitution which gives it the right to consider individual issues on a scale unimagined by the founders.
Founder's intent is always an intellectually dishonest form of discussion. Its chief proponent, Justice Scalia, claims it whenever he wants to make a conservative oriented decision. It is an means to an end. A vacant idea used to ignore decades, even centuries of prior interpretations.
"Besides, if the programs you favor are so successful, why do we have the "mass starvation" that is present or imminent?"
In the US we don't. Show me where in America there is famine. It isn't there.
Larry, do I have to give you titles of books you might take a look at regarding conservatism's charges about the federal government?
Your third paragraph, whether you know it or not, touches on the very reason we have a burgening conservative movement today and why we've had the culture wars of the past four decades. Conservatism stands against liberal interpretation of the Constitution because that interpretation ignores the plain and simple meaning of the words of the document and ignores what the Founders repeatedly said regarding the document as they wrote it.
I'll grant you the merits of the GI Bill, but note that this law was enacted decades ago. As for literacy, you're sadly mistaken about that. When last have you seen the reading test results for students in urban public schools. Are you aware that our colleges are offering remedial reading courses?
I have no complaint about any voter registration program as long as the states and local governments have proof that the voter is who she or he claims to be. My community requires proof of identity; I had to show my driver's license and my son had to produce his state ID card this morning when we voted.
I have not attacked anything regarding welfare assistance other than the liberals' notions that scrutiny isn't important in practice (they merely claim that it is but hinder or ignore any efforts to enforce it).
Slashing the welfare budgets is about the only way we can force the state to institute measures to weed out the fraud and abuse. I'll also say, though, that liberals won't do the weeding; they'll simply make every dependent accept cuts. Spreading misery is what liberals do best: redistribution of wealth is what it is called. We see what is happening with Obamacare: those who work and have health insurance are losing it or being forced to pay higher rates, allegedly so that "the poor" will get coverage. In the end, nobody will have adequate coverage and we'll all be in the same boat, which is the liberals' dream–except for the people who passed the law in the first place. Yes, we must assist the truly poor. Yes, we must also place stringent qualification requirements on aid and we must time limit it.
Oversight and accountability are not dirty words for conservatives. That is exactly what we've been fighting for. I'll charitably ask: When did you actually do any reading or listening beyond nodding your head every time some liberal politician speaks?
I wonder what your own status is in "the world of work." You needn't answer, but people who've invested their time and effort and, sometimes, financial resources in an effort to achieve the American dream do not take the positions you do on these important issues.
Larry, you again touch on the very basis for the great politico/cultural divide in the country. I know how our federal judiciary works: Judges are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. That means jurists get appointed only if they are "in sync" with the political philosophy of the president. I'll also note that Republican presidents, the Bushes included, have not been very insistent on appointing conservatives, and when they were they usually had a Democrat senate to veto the nominations.
I'll bet the farm that you've never even read any of the Federalist Papers.
I'm not the won who wrote about "mass starvation." That was a line penned by someone else on this board, and I refuted it. Indeed, there is no such starvation, and I'll even say that substantial cuts in the welfare budget will not lead to starvation. Instead, many recipients will simply allocate their checks to food purchases, which is what the money is supposed to be used for.
We also know that people sell their food stamps and bridge cards.
And according to Duane Lamers, you are just a lazy mooching fraud.
But that is because he doesn't want to consider your existence.
Leave it to you, Larry, to make unfounded statements. Since long ago you've thrown away any rational basis for making judgments and behaving, relying entirely on your "feeling good" about what you want, you now accuse me of thinking of Ms Mulloy as a mooch and a fraud. There's nothing I've written that allows you to jump to that conclusion other than your own misplaced sense of superiority that allows you to make the rules of judgment that everyone else must follow.
At no time did I ever say that everyone receiving assistance is a fraud or a mooch. I merely stated that evidence abounds within reports of federal and state agencies themselves that fraud exists. Moreover, there has never been a concerted effort to modify programs that are rife with fraud or to terminate them when they've not proven their worth.
Government "services" expand, never contract. Allocations are increased every year, with cutbacks in federal programs because of the Sequester (which Obama himself wanted) being the first time that there ever were cutbacks. And the liberals are now protesting the very law that they passed.
Larry, I'll call your attention to something Sen. Menendez D-NJ said just yesterday in the committee where Sebelius was being questioned: He said that the conservatives have done nothing but try to dismantle Obamacare.
Yep, the senator is right. Where he is wrong is attributing conservative resistence to the current mess that is Obamacare. At no time have the conservatives been able to impact the implementation of Obamacare. They don't have the votes to do so. Your crowd, Larry, owns that mess. Your crowd of progressives, firm in their belief without any foundation that government can do everything and anything, are now facing the big lie they believe in.
It seems likely that the mess will collapse under its own weight and under the mismanagement that is always the result of progressive efforts. And then there were the 14 Dem senators yesterday who pleaded with Obama to make changes in the implementation of ACA. They're up for reelection next year and are fearing for their jobs, as though the careerists that they are think that they have a lifetime lock on "serving" the public.

As an IT solutions firm, we will accelerate the retooling of the capital markets with next generation, proven, world-class software platforms
The evolution of the capital market industry is requiring many new capabilities with respect to risk management, order management, international connectivity, multi-market settlement, capacity and throughput. Many of the securities processing systems installed are over 20 years old, when technology approaches and techniques were inherently less flexible and programs harder and slower to develop.
This has resulted in fragmented technology platforms which do not meet modern business requirements. One of the greatest needs in capital markets is the ability to respond quickly to change – from market developments, competitive pressures to regulatory changes.
Our solutions enable a significant increase in flexibility, operational efficiency and capacity.

Jacob Cox was born in Burlington New Jersey, the first of ten children born to a Quaker couple who died in separate ferry accidents. Cox's grandfather and aunt in Washington, Pennsylvania became his guardians. By that time the young Cox was already interested in art. He was apprenticed to a tinsmith at the age of sixteen. In 1830, Cox and his brother established a tinsmith shop, first in Pittsburgh and later in Indianapolis. The business prospered forcing Cox to pursue his painting during his spare time. By 1835 painting portraits was added to Cox's business. Cox closed his shop and traveled to Cincinnati to study with John Dunn, returning to Indianapolis to paint portraits of such local notables as Senator Oliver Smith, Governors David Wallace and Noah Noble, State Treasurer Samuel Merrill, and numerous prominent businessmen and their families. His success enabled Cox to travel to New York City to study briefly at the National Academy of Design. Upon his return, he found time to add landscapes and still life to his repertoire. When the Indiana School of Art was established in Indianapolis in 1877, Cox became one of its teachers. He continued to paint and exhibit until his death at eighty one.
Cox often modeled his landscapes after the calm, pastoral views of Hudson River school painters, such as Asher B. Durand. Landscape near Indianapolis may depict a stretch of Fall Creek north of the city, an area Cox frequently painted. The three figures in the lower left could be a family about to begin the arduous transformation from the frontier into the orderly Indiana farmland pictured in the distance. The bridge in the composition's center reinforces the idea of transition from wilderness to productive land. Cox's soft brushwork and saturated pastel palette convey a sense of optimism about life in Indiana in the 1860s.

« Too Much. Back It Off A Little. Sheesh. | Main | Obama Claims His Failure On The Economy Is Yesterday's News »
September 04, 2012
Democrats' Platform: Really, You Didn't Build That, Unions Did
The Democrats convention platform endorses a slew of organized labors wishes and says unions helped build the greatest middle class the world has ever known.
The platform goes on to talk about all the things unions have done over the years.
Democrats believe that the right to organize and collectively bargain is a fundamental American value; every American should have a voice on the job and a chance to negotiate for a fair days pay after a hard days work. We will continue to fight for the right of all workers to organize and join a union. Unions helped build the greatest middle class the world has ever known. Their work resulted in the 40-hour workweek and weekends, paid leave and pensions, the minimum wage and health insurance, and Social Security and Medicare the cornerstones of middle class security.
Not included in that list? Actually creating a single damn job.
Here's what the platform says about small business.
Small businesses employ half of all working Americans, and, over the last two decades, have created two out of three net new jobs. Democrats believe that small businesses are the engine of job growth in America. President Obama signed 18 small-business tax cuts to encourage with a tax credit to help pay for the cost of coverage. In 2014, the tax credit will grow and small businesses will be able to pool their purchasing power together to get affordable coverage.
First, can we go without one section talking about sub-sets of Americans? I guess not.
Note that small businesses owners didn't create the greatest middle-class ever, that honor belongs to unions and the government according Democrats.
All the talk of tax cuts and "cutting red tape" is nice and all until you look at their real actions....proposing to raise taxes on many small business owners by allowing the "Bush" tax cuts to expire for people making $250K and up and a little thing known as "ObamaCare" which is a huge tax hike and regulatory mess for many small businesses.
Note also the approach of Democrats to job creation....they'll give you a few hundred bucks in tax credits if you spend tens of thousands of dollars employing a new person. They actually think this is how the world works.
I hate when people say "there's no difference between the parties". That can seem true at times (like when big spending bills come up) but at the grassroots level there's a huge difference. Look at the people the Democrats will trot out...losers demanding more free stuff, people who see themselves as helpless victims who can't get out of bed in the morning without a government program, people who'd rather drag others down than try and climb up themselves and the rich people who pretend to care about them.
Contrast that with the mainly self-made people at the RNC who are proud of what they have created and people who admire them for their accomplishments and strive to be as successful as they are.
That's the real difference between the parties and it's what's going to make this week insufferable to watch.

Posada de Mike Rapu
Easter Island, Chile
Feb 26, 2008Feb 26, 2008
Finally opened in December after five years of planning, much hype, and $15 million in building costs, Explora's newest hotel stamps an 18,000-square-foot, 35-room, LEED-certified mark on sparsely inhabited Easter Island. The hotel is staffed by indigenous Rapanui, who lead hikes and pass on the oral history of the vigilant moai, stone busts that encircle the island.
The hotel is made of local rauli wood and volcanic rock, but 18,000 square feet is still 18,000 square feet.

Health insurance in the United States is a patchwork system whereby opportunities for coverage are strongly associated with life circumstances (ie, age, income, pregnancy, parental status). For pregnant women, this situation contributes to unstable coverage before, between, and after pregnancies. The Affordable Care Act has the potential to make coverage for women of reproductive age more stable and create new opportunities to intervene on conditions associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity. In this article, we discuss the health economics of the Affordable Care Act, its implications for maternal and neonatal health, specific challenges associated with implementation, and opportunities for obstetricians to leverage the Affordable Care Act to improve the care of women.

Bradley: US are 'battle hardened'
Michael Bradley has told England they will be facing a "battle-hardened" United States side in Saturday's opening World Cup clash in Rustenburg.
- Related Content
Bradley believes the success and experience gained by the USA in recent years will stand them in good stead for the meeting with Fabio Capello's side.
Twelve months ago, the States reached the final of the Confederations Cup in South Africa, defeating Euro 2008 winners Spain in the semi-final and losing 3-2 to Brazil in the final.
But Bradley concedes his side will have to play to their maximum potential to have a chance of springing a shock against Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Co.
The midfielder said: "We know it is going to be a big challenge. England have good players all over the field and we have respect for their team and their players.
"But, as a player, you want to challenge yourself against the best teams and players and collectively we are looking forward to that challenge.
"I think the experience we have gained in the last three or four years can only help. We have played Brazil, Spain, Italy, England, Holland, Argentina.
"As a team, we have battle hardened ourselves in a way. Now we step onto the field against big teams and there is a sense of we have been there before.
"We know what to expect. The quality will be even higher in a World Cup but we are ready for it."
But Bradley admitted: "In any game against a big team, you have got to have a bunch of guys who play well, who have good days.
"You need eight guys to have really good days and the others have to have solid enough days. There is a lot that goes into beating big teams.
"We have done that before and we are just concentrating on doing those things in training leading up to the games so that we are ready to go.
"What we have built inside the team the last three or four years, the coaches, the players, is good.
"I want to be a part of a team that does something big and special and we have been at work to do that for three or four years."

How can I stop someone from changing my gmail password?
Gmail security: Someone keeps trying to recover, or change, the password for my gmail account.

Every couple of weeks, I get bombarded with SMSes because someone is trying to access my account. Can I temporarily disable the recovery option? I'm just worried that someone might guess the answer to my secret question by brute force or some other means.
G-mail recovery
A friend of mine recently had his g-mail account broken into. Someone got in an started sending out bcc e-mails to all the contacts saying he had been mugged in a foreign land and needed cash. The conversation was clearly 419 language and clearly not my friend, so there was no damage. Is there anything that can be done to recover the g-mail address? Any way to contact Google about it and make the case? Obviously just creating a new g-mail address and starting over is the obvious answer, but I am wondering if there is a process for recovering a g-mail identity that's demonstrably "yours".

Hawks' Williams suffers season-ending knee injury
By CHARLES ODUM
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Lou Williams, the Atlanta Hawks' third-leading scorer, will miss the remainder of the season with a right knee injury.
The Hawks announced before Saturday night's game against San Antonio that Williams tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee in Friday night's loss at Brooklyn. The tear was found when Williams was examined Saturday by Dr. Michael Bernot in Atlanta.
"It's certainly devastating to us to lose Lou," Hawks coach Larry Drew said.
Williams, a guard in his first season with the Hawks, is averaging 14.1 points.
The injury came in the second quarter when Williams stole the ball and was driving to the basket with around 7 minutes left. His leg appeared to give out as he tried to plant and go up for the shot. He limped out of bounds behind the basket and was eventually taken to the locker room area.
The loss of Williams is a blow to an Atlanta team which has lost seven of nine following a strong start. Williams has joined starters Devin Harris and Jeff Teague to make the backcourt a strength for the team.
Drew said the loss of Williams is especially difficult to overcome because the 6-foot-1 Williams played both guard positions.
Drew said rookie shooting guard John Jenkins, averaging only 4.1 points per game, will see more playing time.
Kyle Korver is starting at shooting guard against the Spurs. With the Hawks now limited to Harris and Teague at point guard, Drew said he preferred to have Harris come off the bench and play behind Teague. With a healthy Williams available, Drew didn't have to worry about playing Teague and Harris at the same time.
The Hawks' backcourt also is limited by injuries to DeShawn Stevenson, who is not cleared to play on back-to-back days due to a sore right knee, and Anthony Morrow, who has missed 12 straight games with a right hip and lower back injury. Drew said Morrow is day to day.
The loss of Williams is the biggest setback. The Atlanta native signed with the Hawks as a free agent after averaging a career-best 14.9 points with Philadelphia last season.
"It's all part of the business," Drew said. "You hate to see it happen.
"You hope for a fast and speedy recovery but you have to move on. I'm expecting the guys to respond to this, I really am. This is just another test for us as a team and me as a coach."
Spurs coach Greg Popovich said Williams is "a hell of a force" and added, "I hate to hear he's out for the whole year."
Hawks center Al Horford, who missed Friday night's game with a sore left calf and hamstring, is starting against the Spurs.

Stronghold is both a real-time combat game that focuses positioned on castle sieges as well as a village-management simulation inside the vein of Zeus and the Settlers. The topic alone gives Stronghold an advantage. It is often years since a casino game assist you to pour boiling oil on invading hordes, and stronghold crusader download full game free pc simulates castle sieges well enough to recommend it to people who definitely are serious about the idea. Yet it is a hesitant recommendation, a result of poor interface and mediocre campaigns.
With enough archers, defending your castle could be a simple task.
There's 2 campaigns, one military and one economic. The cost-effective campaign is made up of several timed missions that you must buy a certain target amount of goods or gold. Occasional threats such as bandits and animals will require you to retain a basic militia, however the mission goals are invariably economic. This campaign only serves to spotlight the point that as being a management simulation, the game is quite shallow. You build woodcutters, farmers, and miners, and the items are taken to your storehouse. You build secondary producers, who use these goods to generate weapons and food.
You must also be sure to have sufficient food to help keep your people happy and enough gold to hire soldiers. Since taxing your people means they are unhappy, and unhappy individuals will leave your kingdom, it's essential to also find solutions to keep the popularity high. This can be accomplished by supplying them with extra food, churches, or alehouses. Keeping the people happy is fairly unchallenging, eventhough it seems complicated hypothetically. Quite often, providing more food might be all that you should do, and it will be unnecessary.
The economic and management parts of Stronghold are pretty straight forward, but they're precisely the setup for that military game. The military campaign helps you to avert sieges, and siege other castles, as well as incorporate the commercial elements. In the military campaign, you participate in the son on the king merely betrayed and murdered. His land was divided among four men: The Snake, The Pig, The Rat, and The Wolf. It's essential to gain back your father's land gradually.
Buildings outside your castle tend to be susceptible to attack.
Building castle walls is an additional issue. You aren't going to ready to place buildings or objects in places you are unable to see, and also the low isometric viewpoint ensures that any section blocked with a building or other little bit of wall is off-limits. You can rotate the map to examine the field at a different angle, but towers and gatehouses may block your view so that you will never view a gap in your defenses. You'll be able to lower all buildings on screen to help you build without interference, however it is a crude strategy to a significant problem. Moreover, certain kinds of buildings aren't allowed in most mission, that may cause confusion. One mission permits you to build moats but is not drawbridges. This tends to catch you unawares, because your villagers can have no chance of bringing goods towards stockpile as long as they can't conquer your moat.
Visually, the adventure is reminiscent of Chronilogical age of Empires II. The buildings stand out, but is not great, as well as same goes in the units. The animations are well done, particularly motion blur around the arrows and projectiles because they fly from the air. The soundtrack is dramatic, even though the sound clips contain fairly typical funny comments from units and ambient building sounds.
Campaign play isn't your main option, and in case hardly anything else, stronghold crusader download full gives a lots of variety. There are a selection of individual combat and economic scenarios, as well as a number of stand-alone modes, both peaceful and combat-oriented, that let you build your castle as you desire. The multiplayer options incorporate a few different games, as well as it a more rewarding challenge to safeguard a castle against more intelligent opponents. Stronghold has some rather serious problems. However if you simply can get past them, or learn how to work together with them, the action offers you enough options that you will have many hours of sieges and defenses in front of you.

COUCH â€" Kimberly Rae LaBahn, daughter of Karen Lhamon and the late Donald LaBahn, and Matthew Bryan Deckard, son of Russell and Cathy Deckard, of the Couch High School senior class have each been awarded the national I Dare You Leadership Award. High school principal Tom Bull said the award is given in recognition of personal integrity, balanced living and the potential for leadership. Bull presented the honor at the honors ceremony at the school earlier this month.
The I Dare You Leadership Award is made available each year by the American Youth Foundation in cooperation with high schools across the country. The award was first offered in 1941 by William H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina Company in St. Louis, who challenged young people to achieve their highest potential and to influence others through their lives of service. The award takes its name from the book, I Dare You!, written by Danforth, in which he commends the balanced life of mental, physical and spiritual development as the backbone of leadership.
Both students received the I Dare You Award, along with a scholarship opportunity to attend a National Leadership Conference, sponsored by the American Youth Foundation.

We're still waiting for Russell 1,000.
Last week, I said Russell 1,000 or bust and bust we did - having the first losing week since April in the US markets and, as you can see from Dave Fry's chart, there's no excuse this week as the top of that channel has moved well above 1,000 so there should not be any more upside resistance to a truly bullish market.
Already, in pre-market trading, the Russell is up 10 points as Europe is up over 1% this morning, following Asia's bounce back on no particular news other than Japan has stopped falling. China's Industrial Profits in April were up 9.3%, which is the opposite direction that HBC pegged its PMI BUT March had very easy comps (5.3%) and profits are actually DOWN 2.2% from April of 2011 - which is the way rational investors like to look at things but, shhhhhh - that will be our little secret.
There are few rational investors left in the market these days, least of all US Corporations, as FactSet shows us they spend $93.8Bn buying back their own stocks at near record-highs in Q4, topping off a year in which they bought back $384.3Bn in shares.
That's enough share repurchasing money to hire 11M full-time workers at $35,000 a year but don't be silly - that's not the way US Corporations make money. Our Corporate Citizens are in the business of making money, not stuff, and you don't need workers to make money. In fact, they generally just get in the way and moving away from the production model entirely is allowing our markets to soar.
How are they doing it? We (US Corporations) have become very, very good at "Logistics," which is essentially where we outsource low-wage foreign labor to drive down the cost of manufacturing and shipping our products all over the world and, while we tend to focus on the things that we (in the US and Europe) buy and use every day, we are missing the bigger picture in which the bottom 80% of the global economy (5.6Bn people) are buying more and more things every day.
As you can see from the chart on the left from the IMF, this is the year that emerging markets surpass us in GDP. Sure the average person in an emerging market nation only earns $4,000 a year but there's 5 times more of them than there are of us and Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) doesn't care if you go in there and spend $50 for a few outfits for the kids or if someone in Africa spends their week's paycheck there - it's the same $50 to them.
Logistics has shrunk the planet faster than our minds are able to hold the idea in place. Even as I write the above note on Africa, you are probably thinking "what about shipping costs?" But shipping costs are LESS from China to Africa than from China to America and WMT doesn't make things in America, do they? That's what logistics really is - it's what we used to call outsourcing but now it has a much friendlier-sounding name that is hard to put on a sign and protest against.
Meanwhile, the global middle class is growing at a pace that sets them to double by 2030, from $28Tn to $56Tn and that's going to bump up global GDP. It won't do squat for the average American or European worker because the jobs are all going out of country but it's fantastic news for our multi-national corporations like McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), WMT...
If you want to make money in the next 20 years, there are going to be two good markets and they are the top 10% consumers in the developed world (the people who own the mega-corps, either directly or through stock investments or finance, of course) and the companies that sell things that poor people can afford - because we are making more and more poor people every single day - especially in developed nations.
As you can see from the chart on the right, it's been a rough quarter-century for the bottom 60%, giving up 7.5% of their wealth so the top 5% could gain 81.7%. There are 12x more people in the bottom 60% and 12 times 7.5 is 90 and you can see how that extra 8.3% was distributed to the rest of the top 20% with a few scraps falling to the "upper middle fifth," which is the 50-60% block.
Anyone below that median cut-off had their stuff taken away from them in the US and you can see how rapidly our GDP is falling (as a percent of global) as the jobs melt away in the developed world and we'd better learn to play the top 5%'s game real soon or we're going to end up down in that red zone for the rest of the century.
I've done a lot of reading this holiday weekend and THIS is the most important thing I've learned. We have been worried about income inequality leading to problems and it probably will down the road - or even this summer - BUT, until then, there's real money being made catering to the impoverished masses who don't, on the whole, feel that impoverished.
Many of the world's most destitute people own more stuff than they used to. Take Madagascar, a very poor country that has technically been getting poorer over time. Between 1992 and 2009, the country's real GDP per person fell from $843 to $753. But the percentage of households with a phone climbed from less than 1 percent to 28 percent, the proportion with a motorbike climbed from 4 percent to 22 percent, and the percentage with a television increased from 7 percent to 18 percent. People in Madagascar, as well as in much of the rest of the developing world, are living better and longer with more possessions to their name. That's true even if, officially, they are as poor as they've ever been. And Madagascar doesn't even have a Wal-Mart - yet.
As China gets richer, labor will inevitably get more expensive and factories will migrate. Some already have - to places like Vietnam and Indonesia. And if retailers like Wal-Mart continue to seek the cheapest, most efficient suppliers and manufacturers, those Asian production centers will eventually shift to Africa in search of cheap labor. That may take decades. But in the meantime, China's efficiency means that poor people's scarce resources can go a little bit further.
That's good for them, very good for WMT and TERRIBLE for the bottom 90% in developed nations as they end up FORCED to shop at WMT because their part-time, minimum-wage jobs no longer allow them to shop anywhere else.
Meanwhile we (and that includes me) need to think about corporate profits differently and get out of our US/Euro-Centric boxes. We can't let the chart make us worried or jealous - we need to look at these numbers and say "how do I get into that orange area?"
If you are already in the red zone, the top 10% that make an average of $161,000 per family - you have a pretty good chance because you will be able to, through your investments, take part in the global exploitation boom that is driving the yellow income to an AVERAGE (some do much better) of $23.8M per year (at that level, the 0.8 matters).
If, however, you are in the bottom 90%, where your AVERAGE income per family is $29,840 - and that's in America, one of the world's richest countries - then you are pretty screwed and are likely to get much more screwed over the next couple of decades.
