Prescriptions For A Sick Economy
There's bad news and good news for George Bush in a new BUSINESS WEEK poll. Americans are opposed to a cut in capital-gains taxes. And by 57% to 39%, they want the government to stress job creation, not inflation control. Antitax sentiment runs high, with the public turning thumbs down on broad-based tax increases. But Bush can take heart in a few findings: His go-slow strategy seems to be in tune with the feelings of many Americans, who don't want the government to take any of several recently proposed moves to jump-start growth. They also reject Democratic calls for a government-business partnership to aid U. S. competitiveness.
JOBS ARE THE THING Economists believe that creating new jobs often leads to high inflation. If you had to choose, would you say the federal government should work harder to create more jobs or to keep inflation under control? Create more jobs--57% Keep inflation under control--39% Not sure--4%
LOWER TAXES OR A LOWER DEFICIT? The federal deficit has now risen to nearly $300 billion a year, which some argue can hurt the economy. But some economists also believe that only a tax cut for middle-income families will speed economic growth. If you had to choose, which would you favor the federal government doing -- cutting taxes for middle-income families or cutting the federal deficit? Cutting taxes for middle-income families--49% Cutting the federal deficit--48% Not sure--3%
A CAPITAL-GAINS CUT? THUMBS DOWN President Bush wants to cut taxes on capital gains. Some argue that a cut in the capital-gains tax would spur economic growth. Others say such a tax cut only helps business and the wealthy. Do you favor or oppose a capital-gains tax cut? Favor--37% Oppose--54% Not sure--9%
NAY AGAIN Would you favor or oppose a cut in the capital-gains tax if it means raising other income taxes to offset losses in revenue for the federal government? Favor--21% Oppose--71% Not sure--8%
WHAT WOULD YOU DO? In order to spur economic growth, do think the federal government should:
Should Should not Not sure
Grant tax credits for a wide variety of investments by business?
45% 49% 6%
Let companies deduct the costs of their plants and equipment more quickly? 43% 48% 9%
Increase government spending to help businesses develop new technologies, such as computer chips?
42% 56% 2%
Grant a tax credit only for research- and-development investments? 38% 56% 6%
Reduce the income tax that corporations pay?
24% 73% 3%
WORST-CASE SCENARIOS If there were no other way to cut the deficit while maintaining spending on programs such as Social Security, would you be willing to see:
Willing Not willing Not sure
An increase in federal income tax rates for married couples with annual incomes of $125,000 or more?
74% 25% 1%
An increase in taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and luxury items? 73% 26% 1%
An increase in the tax on imported oil?
52% 45% 3%
A national sales tax?
38% 60% 2%
An increase in everyone's federal income taxes?
33% 65% 2%
An increase in the gasoline tax?
32% 68% 0%
A CLAMOR FOR NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE Would you favor or oppose a national health insurance plan that would pay most health care costs and that would still allow people to pick their own doctor and hospital, if it requires a 5% payroll tax, with 4% paid by employers and 1% paid by employees? Favor-- 81% Oppose--18% Not sure--1%
FIE ON INDUSTRIAL POLICY Other countries take a more active role in promoting industry and making their businesses more competitive abroad. Would you like to see the federal government take a more active role in helping specific industries or should it leave it to the free market? Take a more active role-- 34% Leave to free market--61% Neither--2% Not sure--3%

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo must surely know there is no easier way to avoid a conflict of interest than letting one of his "New Day" co-anchors interview his brother, New York Governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate Andrew Cuomo. But acting like a CNN bigfoot after just months at the network, Cuomo insists on interviewing Cuomo (repeatedly). On Monday, he had an e-mail fit with Lloyd Grove of The Daily Beast after he interviewed Gov. Cuomo about the train derailment in New York. That's six days after he interviewed his brother for being named "Sexiest Fifty-something" by People magazine.
"Obviously I did the intv because it was non political, and frankly, I invite the criticism—because it exposes the hollowness of a lot of what is out there," he began.
"Critics say my intv was no diff than any other and then criticize anyway," he continued. "Think about that. I get the obvious suspicion, but the media has to do better than simply cater to the obvious…and pawn off negativity as a proxy for insight." He added in his huff: "I am good at my job...And believe it or not, i go at everyone the same way."
But critics didn't all say it was no different than any other. Erik Wemple of The Washington Post declared Cuomo was easier on his brother than Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC and there's no such thing as a "nonpolitical" interview (add that 2016 echo on top):
There's no such thing as a non-political interview with a sitting politician. It's just impossible. Politicians often are defined by the way they address their constituents in times of crisis, whether it's a train derailment, a hurricane or something even more horrible. Such events are more political than a campaign kickoff or sponsorship of a piece of legislation. Everyone at CNN knows that, too. As a matter of fact, a politician's response to tragedy is often more politically charged than many other topics addressed by a cable-news network. So let's just throw out that defense before trudging any further.
Yes, the segment wouldn't have generated any discussion if the last names hadn't matched up. At the same time, it's not hard to find spots where Chris Cuomo appears to place his thumb on the scale just a touch. In the first minute, Chris Cuomo observes how his brother "hurried down to the scene." In the fifth minute, he repeated that pro-governor point: "When you went to the scene — you got there very quickly yesterday — what was it like?" In signing off, Chris Cuomo said, "It is no small irony that just in August, you were training with the National Guard for these types of situations. Who knew that just three months later, the training would have to be put into practice."
To see how an interview with Gov. Cuomo might proceed at the hands of a non-family member, try this one by Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski. She doesn't note that the governor made it to the scene quickly and pushes him about the trains' maintenance (video below).
Chris Cuomo doesn't host "New Day" all by himself. Is there any reason that co-host Kate Bolduan couldn't have handled this interview? The Erik Wemple Blog posed that question to CNN and got this response from a network source: "Chris and the [executive producer] chose to do the interview. They wanted to do the interview".
Inside Cable News didn't have a problem with the interview, but thinks inviting the controversy is pointless:
The reason there are conflict of interest rules in place isn't just to prevent real, substantive conflict of interest charges being thrown around but to prevent perceived, relatively meritless conflict of interest charges being tossed about which distract from the interview and cause PR grief for networks. Under such circumstances, the negatives outweigh the positives to be gained. Why invite a controversy that is easily prevented by giving the interview to Kate Bolduan or Michaela Pereira? If the interview is that benign it doesn't really matter who does it so why paint a target on your back un-necessarily?
It's better to have a blanket black and white zero tolerance conflict of interest policy than to have a shades of gray "it depends on what your definition of is is" conflict of interest policy that only serves to invite un-needed scrutiny.
Chris Cuomo is clearly asking: "Who runs my program? Do I get to run my program or are we going to let jerks on Twitter decide who I get to interview?" CNN boss Jeff Zucker clearly doesn't care how much his network looks like a Democrat-promoting playground of conflicts. Perhaps their motto is "There is no conflict of interest when we all share the interest of electing Democrats."
Chris has clearly built his career on his daddy's name, and now he's building his brand on his brother's name as well. If he's not a "hollow" anchor exploiting his family name for a fat cable-news contract, then perhaps he should be an actual pro and let someone else interview his family members as they run for president.
UPDATE: Chris also lashed out on Twitter when conservatives knocked his previous sexy-brother interview:
@ORConservative U want me to id my brother as if he were a political intv? U need to relax, fella. Even for twitter this nutz #deepend

The ways we disclose, read cues from our clients, and dialogue about what's been divulged are the keys to whether therapist self-disclosure helps clients' therapeutic goals or gets in the way.
Robbie, a slight man in his fifties with receding hair and a warm, round face, makes a beeline for me before the workshop starts. He says, "I came to this because I got into real trouble disclosing something about myself to a couple. Even my wife is angry with me."
"Great," I reply, as Robbie lurches back a step, startled. "We'll discuss times when disclosures don't work, and if you're comfortable telling us what happened, we'll all learn from it."
Some 20 minutes into the workshop, Robbie recounts, "I was working with a couple last week. The husband, Bill, made an allusion early in the session to thoughts about other women. Things were tense between him and his wife, Anita. Finally, I said that I'd had a few fantasies over the 30-some years of my marriage, but I'd never acted on them. I wanted to indicate it was normal to sometimes have thoughts about other women. As I talked, Bill nodded. But suddenly, Anita screeched, 'What do you mean normal?! That's cheating!' The next day, I got a phone call from Anita's mother, accusing me of being a sex addict. And I practice and live in the same small town."
I sigh sympathetically, along with many other audience members, and say, "It's the old story: the message sent is often not the message…

Kentucky Derby Future Wager: Mutuel field opens as 7-5 favorite
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – As usual, the mutuel field is a solid early favorite in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, although Todd Pletcher nearly has 'em surrounded.
As of 5 p.m. Eastern on Friday, the field – the 24th or "all others" option – was the 7-5 favorite after a healthy $131,303 was bet into the win pool. Pletcher is the trainer of the next four separately listed runners, all of whom were single-digit odds: Revolutionary (7-1), Shanghai Bobby (7-1), Verrazano (7-1), and Violence (8-1). Next in line were Goldencents (8-1) and Itsmyluckyday (22-1).
Another $14,237 was bet into the exacta pool in Pool 1, which opened Friday at noon for the 15th year of parimutuel futures offered by Churchill Downs.
Every year since Churchill began offering parimutuel futures in 1999, the field has closed as the favorite in Pool 1. A Pool 1 field horse has wound up winning the Derby in six of those 14 prior years, the latest being Animal Kingdom in 2011.
In all previous years, the odds on the field invariably have drifted above the even-money mark, but in a wide-open year such as this, bettors might well keep the field below 2-1.
As with any parimutuel wager, odds will change throughout the weekend, with final odds established at the appointed closing time of 6 p.m. Sunday.
Combined win and exacta handle last year for Pool 1 was a record $631,304.
The 139th Derby will be run May 4. Pool 2 is set for March 1-3 and Pool 3 for March 22-24. A single Kentucky Oaks futures pool will be offered this year, to run concurrently with Derby Pool 2.
Real-time updates of win odds and exacta probables are available through a number of sources, including television monitors at tracks and wagering outlets and on kentuckyderby.com.
Pletcher won his only Derby in 2010 with Super Saver and has seven of the 23 separate interests in this pool, with the others being Cape Bastone, Delhomme, and Overanalyze. All those were 99-1 after the first five hours but are sure to drop lower as the weekend unfolds.
The point totals should be awarded by the amount of entries in the stake. ie: 4 participants = 4 Derby points awarded to first. 7 participants = 7 Derby points awarded to first. 10 participants = 10 Derby points awarded to first. In essence, come Derby Day horses will earn berths based on how many horses they actually beat to get there. Strong 3rd place finishes arent good enough. Last season, IHA went STREAKING into the Derby. He won major races. He would have earned his berth into the Derby. THAT separates the champs from the chumps. If four horses enter and owners dont want to waste a start for a measly 4 points, then I guess the racing office better start loading gates or cancel the race due to lack of interest. Your thoughts?
Too early to tell who will be ready for this. Anybody who tells me that a horse will win right now is off his meds LOL
Back in the days, when I sold frozen Prime Beef, the greatest salesman gave me some sage advise. "Sell the sizzle" - Revolutionary is the sizzle.
This looks like a great year for 3 year olds, you can already name 20 prospective winners, to me, the field is a bad bet, I would take Pletcher at 5-1 and Baffert at 12-1.
Revolutionary, biggest underlay Itsmyluckyday, biggest overlay Verrazano, closest to logical odds

Clowns Aren't Scary When They're Naked
While some clowns are running around Staten Island hoaxing the media, Julia Louise-Dreyfus is having sex with them.
To promote the new season of her hit show Veep, she posed naked for Rolling Stone, with a photoshopped US Constitution on her back. Granted John Hancock didn't sign it, but it still looked good on her.
Now she did a spread for GQ with some clowns. Which is apropos since everyone in Washington is a clown and Congress' approval rating is a joke.

Let the vetting begin.
Ten Republicans thinking about running for president in 2012 will take the stage today through Saturday to prove themselves before conservatives attending an annual conference and to participate in a straw poll.
More than 10,000 activists have registered for the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, which will serve as a dress rehearsal of sorts for the 2012 GOP presidential primaries.
Follow USA TODAY's coverage of CPAC in the On Politics blog.
David Bossie of the conservative Citizens United group told the Associated Press that the potential GOP field has lots in common with each other, starting with their conservative ideology and position on issues.
"They're all virtually identical on the big global issues that conservatives care about. They're all pro-life. They're all for smaller government. They are all for lower taxes. They're all for a strong national security. They're all pro-military," Bossie said.
There are 15 people on the CPAC straw poll ballot, beginning with Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and ending with Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. Five people -- including former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and ex-Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee -- are on the ballot but not speaking.
Governors -- current or former -- dominate the ballot: Besides Huckabee and Palin, they are Haley Barbour (Mississippi), Chris Christie (New Jersey), Mitch Daniels (Indiana), Jon Huntsman (Utah), Gary Johnson (New Mexico), Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota) and Mitt Romney (Massachusetts).
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, former House speaker Newt Gingrich and ex-Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum join Bachmann and Thune as the potential GOP presidential hopefuls on the list with experience in Congress.
And rounding out the CPAC straw ballot is Herman Cain, a former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and a talk radio host.
But will the straw vote carry weight with GOP primary voters, who will be looking for a candidate who can defeat President Obama? That remains to be seen.
The last two straw poll winners -- Paul in 2010 and Romney in 2009 -- didn't have much success with GOP primary voters in 2008 when Arizona Sen. John McCain became the party's presidential nominee.

Canada police slammed over fatal Taser case
By Allan Dowd
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - "Shameful conduct" by Canadian police officers led to the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski in a stun gun incident at Vancouver's airport that drew world attention, an inquiry said on Friday.
The officers acted as if they were responding to a "barroom brawl" and were too aggressive when it was clear they were only dealing with a man who was distraught and confused on arriving in a new homeland, the inquiry said.
"This case is, at its heart, the story of shameful conduct by a few officers," inquiry head Thomas Braidwood wrote in his report, which also accuses the officers of making misleading statements to justify their actions.
"Mister Dziekanski in no way brought this upon himself," Braidwood, a retired provincial judge, told reporters in Vancouver. "He was not aggressive in any manner."
The Polish government, which participated in the provincial inquiry, asked Canadian prosecutors on Friday to reconsider their earlier decision not to file criminal charges against the four Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers.
British Columbia later said that a special prosecutor would be named to review the matter, and RCMP Commissioner William Elliot said the police force acknowledged "its handling of the incident failed at many levels."
Poland also asked Canada to co-operate with a inquiry by Polish prosecutors.
Braidwood said he was not criticizing the RCMP as a whole, but his report comes a day after the iconic police force was sharply criticized by another inquiry over its handling of the 1985 Air India bombing case. Continued...

Check out Ostlers Apple Cider Vinegar!
This super 'food' is not only full of 100% natural bacteria, enzymes and minerals so it helps fight toxins but it is also great at helping weight loss and…
• Digestion
• Arthritis
• Sore throats
• Infections
• Immune systems
• Stamina
• Acne
• Cholesterol
What's different about this apple cider vinegar, and what makes it so special, is that it contains what's referred to as the 'mother' of the apple. The 'mother' is formed from apple residues and pectin that are produced in pure, unpasteurised apple cider vinegar – you can see it in the vinegar; it's a dark substance that floats in the liquid. It's the 'mother' that gives it its great health properties.
But what's also great about this vinegar is that it's really good at aiding losing weight as it helps control the body's weight loss. It works by all the enzymes and organic acids acting as a natural appetite suppressant, that increase the body's metabolic rate, reducing water retention. Weight loss through apple cider vinegar isn't instant, it's a product that works with the body naturally and gradually. This means the weight loss is more long lived, whereas a starvation style diet that has rapid weight loss results, but equally rapid pile it back on results too!
For either a 1lt or 500ml bottle check out Ostlers Apple Cider Vinegar on the Natural Health World.co.uk website where you can pick up a bottle for as little as £2.69!
NB – searching for this particularly good brand of apple cider vinegar can be tricky, so make sure you actually state Ostlers in your search!
Link to: http://www.naturalhealthworld.co.uk/apple-cider-vinegar-c-319.html
It's easy to introduce Ostlers Apple Cider Vinegar into your diet – three times a day, just before a meal, put two tablespoons into a small glass of water and drink. And if you find that it's too sharp just add some squash or honey!
Top Tip – if you do find it too sharp, why not add your Manuka honey to the drink – this way you're getting the goodness of your Manuka, plus all the other health benefits of the apple cider vinegar.

I had to pull a Saturday at work this weekend. So at 9:00am heading to work on the 91 west in Corona I spotted a gray G35 that looked familiar. As I pulled up next to him I noticed the stillen sticker in his back window. I had did a quick run with him 2 months prior. That run was at a Cobb stg.2 . He instantly put 2 cars from 40 and to 100 and it still looked like he was slowly pulling. He is not stock he has a exhaust system and some other stuff It looked like a e-manage on his dash. Car sounds nothing like a stock VQ engine. I have 2 neighbors with manual g35's and a friend at work so I am familiar with the car. Now that I have a TDC map and a Injen cai I wanted to see how I would fair. So when I pulled up behind him I heard him down shift. 2 sec later he hammers it. The look on his face was price less when he looked up and saw me still behind him. He slowed down and I pulled beside him trying to get a even run. As soon as I pull beside him he nails it again from like 75. He had 1-1/2 car from his jump but as soon as I hit fourth I started gaining. He shut it down at 100 and I was at his rear bumper. Tried to give him the thumbs up again but he wouldn't look in my direction. . If he was quicker it wasn't by as much as the first time so the tune is doing it job. Nice set-up though what ever he has. Next time I hope to be sporting a 16g on a Baily tune. I just hope he isn't FI by then.
Sorry for the length can't win them all.

Calderdale MBC Planning Committee Reject Garden Street Plans
Last night's special meeting of Calderdale MBC Planning Committee saw the refusal of permission for the proposed redevelopment of Garden Street car park in Hebden Bridge. Despite a clear-cut recommendation by planning officers, the committee voted five to two in favour of rejecting the scheme at an unusually well attended meeting in Halifax.
Launch of the Linear Park
You may not know it but there is a linear park in Calderdale and its been there for a very long time. You have probably walked through it. You may have cycled along it, boated along it, crossed over it, even fished at the side of it. Its name is the Rochdale Canal.
Garden Street Recommended For Planning Approval
After much careful consideration and consultation with many other public bodies, planning officers from Calderdale MBC have recommended that the outline planning application for the controversial scheme to redevelop Garden Street car park in Hebden Bridge be accepted. The application made by Hebden Royd Development LLP, is for a scheme which aims to dramatically improve the provision of available car parking in Hebden Bridge, whilst also creating new homes, retail units and offices.

Sanjay Jha also noted that he expects tablets' price to drop in the second half of 2011, as it's said that the components' prices will fall down in this period. Also, we guess that the influx of tablets that's coming soon will also play its part in making these devices cheaper.
The Motorola CEO went on to say that the initial sales of the Motorola XOOM "have started relatively well".
The news Moto is to try different form factors for its tabs is a good one for all these people who want to buy a Motorola tablet, but don't like the 10.1-inch Motorola XOOM. Do you plan to buy a 7-inch Motorola tablet if one is eventually released at some point in 2011?

Thought this article was interesting enough to share.
Spay, Neuter And Joint Disease | Dogs Naturally Magazine
Great article. My breeder (Sherle @ Sequoyha GSD) recommends against pediatric neutering and the warranty is null if you neuter too early. In spite of what is being fed to the general public, it should make sense to most that neutering early would have an impact on the growth and development of the puppy.

Zero/Sports Japan has requested me relay their thanks for the support the community has given to them. Though the Zero/Sports WRX did not have the best weekend, the support that the community gave was enough for the crew to go back and give multiple attempts at returning to the track. Unfortunately, the car suffered from a series of:
1. Weather being too cold for its tune.
2. Fuel pump failed at one point.
3. Didn't have proper tires for the conditions and went off the track.
4. Drive shaft broke from going off the track and prevented Zero/Sports from qualifying.
Regardless of what happened, Zero/Sports will be prepared for the Superstreet Time Attack coming up in November. Zero/Sports will also be attending SEMA and will have their own booth. We encourage all those that make the journey out to SEMA to come and stop by. Below are pictures from this past GT Live at VIR. Enjoy!

New Year Resolutions
   What is it about starting a new year that makes us want to get in shape, eat better, get organized or quit a bad habit? The first of the year gives everyone a fresh start or a clean slate. Psychologist Mark Crawford says your chances of succeeding will go up if you follow some simple advice.Â
   Number one: Be specific, take for example the goal of losing weight, saying I want to lose weight is way too general, you should say I want to lose 10 pounds. Second, set a realistic goal, very few people are going to lose 50 pounds in a year, but losing 5 to 10 is a goal everyone can reach. Crawford suggests figuring out some steps to accomplish the goals and setting a time frame for succeeding.Â
"I would say set a goal for about 2 weeks, stop, see how you're doing."Â
   He says if you make it to Valentine's Day...you'll have a pretty good chance of sticking with your resolution.        Â

Was there a "Greatest of all time"?
Just wondering, if for the sake of argument, in my mind, Superman was the greatest Super hero, Babe Ruth was the greatest Ball player, Ali, King Kong, Einstein, Pele, etc.
Was/is there a "Greatest German Shepherd" of all time? I know most will say their own dog. Good for you. Except for your own dog, is their a greatest of all time?
Rin tin tin!!! (Haha don't make fun of me, I mean the original rin tin tin who was rescued during war and brought to the US and eventually became a famous actor)
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Haha. That's funny. Did he lead to the American line? Was Rin Tin Tin American line, West German or something else? He was in silent pictures right? That would be pre WWII when the GSD came here and became popular. I am probably wrong. I also wonder which dog was the first American show line dog? I have so many irrelevant questions.
Ha that I'm not sure, he was trained by a soldier who rescued him and became super famous, I think one of the first dog actors! I don't know to much about it though (I'm sure I could google it but I'm being lazy lol)

I think we are talking two different subjects. John Wayne wasn't the greatest American hero in my book. Fury and Silver weren't the greatest horses.
well to one person Faust Busecker Schloss . So many great plans . Apparently the dog was all that and then some. Lost during the war . Tried to find another close to him . The sire of Faust , Onyx is a foundation on West German dogs, DDR dogs, Swedish dogs and probably in the back background of Czech dogs Faust vom Busecker Schloß
Rin Tin Tin was sable, the real deal working dog, and american lines are nothing like him.
For American lines, Pfeffer von Bern

Submitted by Bill Quigley on
by Cynthia McKinney
Former Georgia Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney spoke at the funeral of her father and co-struggler, July 19. Thousands attended the ceremonies at Atlanta's Jackson Memorial Baptist Church. "Billy" McKinney, born February 23, 1927, was one of Atlanta's first Black policemen (1947) and a 30-year veteran of the state legislature.
James Edward "Billy" McKinney Laid to Rest
by Cynthia McKinney
"Through this journey with my father, I've learned to appreciate the African and Asian views of love--that its touch is so deep to our core as human beings, that it is unquantifiable, it is undefinable, and it is what helps to give us core and value and depth and meaning--when we find it."
Reverend Creecy, Reverend Sutton, Reverend Rice, Elected Officials, and all of you.
Thank you all for being here with us today to honor my father and to help all of us who knew and loved him manage our collective grief. It's funny how I never believed that it would come to this. You all know that Billy was larger than life. He was honest, smart, street-wise, pensive, yet playful. That's why I can say without a doubt that Billy taught me how to live.
After I came back from a humanitarian mission to Gaza, but instead having spent 7 days in an Israeli prison, I went on a nationwide tour to tell interested communities what had happened to me. At the Seattle airport, a supporter who has now become my friend, paid me the highest compliment: she told me that I was "alive."
I thought long and hard about that. Because, honestly, much to my father's chagrin, there are so many people in our community who pass their days just marking time instead of making a difference. Billy knew that it was within our capacity to materially change our conditions, if we would only do what is required. He knew that because he did that. And somehow, he transmitted that faith in our fellow human beings to me and taught me to be free.
My father also taught me how to love. I've learned from my own personal experiences that it's easy for us Americans to think that we can just order love and pick it up at the drive-through window. But through this journey with my father, I've learned to appreciate the African and Asian views of love--that its touch is so deep to our core as human beings, that it is unquantifiable, it is undefinable, and it is what helps to give us core and value and depth and meaning--when we find it.
Billy taught me love on two levels. He taught me the kind of love that would risk his job to challenge police brutality; that would challenge racism and discrimination; that would give away my Christmas "Etch-a-Sketch" the day after Christmas to a needy child in Bowen Homes. I never forgot that.
And so, I learned to love my community because every action in my father's being showed me how to do that. I learned to love humanity because I saw my father grow in his own attitudes and admit that he was wrong about gays and apologize to them in 1996 when he saw their dedication to me after I was forced into a bruising legal battle to remain in Congress and it was only the white gay community in Atlanta that would cross the racial "Maginot" line that is Candler Road out in Decatur and come into my campaign headquarters and fold letters and stuff envelopes and answer phones and do whatever was necessary to help me win reelection in a vastly redrawn district. And I did win in a hotly contested race.
My father loved people. He sacrificed too much in the way of personal wants and his family sacrificed, too, because his focus wasn't on only us, it was on his beloved community, too.
But he has been unfairly smeared by special interests in this town who want to preserve *their* interests at the expense of yours. And my father was not about to sacrifice your interests. In my father, you had a protector and I know you all know that.
"He has been unfairly smeared by special interests in this town who want to preserve their interests at the expense of yours."
And so, when the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other aspects of the pro-Israel Lobby in this country, including their supporters right here in Georgia, targeted me for defeat, my father came to my rescue by telling the truth. I was targeted by the pro-Israel Lobby because I dared to question the Bush Administration about what happened on September 11, 2001 and because I have the audacity to believe that no group of people, including Palestinians who *are* the Semitic people in this discussion, by the way, should suffer as Blacks in the United States have suffered. Billy McKinney called them out and let you know the truth about what was going on and who was doing it in the midst of intentionally-created confusion and campaign chaos.
That chaos included acts of political sabotage, including both my father and I being abandoned by some of our closest personal and political friends. The attack on us was total. And the battle was for your mind so that you would lose respect for someone unafraid of speaking truth to power. My father came to my defense because I rightly questioned how George Bush could "win" an election in which he lost the vote; why Africa's diamonds, oil, cobalt, copper, uranium, coltan, timber, and fisheries enriched economies in Europe, the United States, and Israel while Africa remained broke and broken. What I was doing went to the core of the existing power configuration in this country and I began to expose its method of finance.
Afterall, I was sent to Washington to represent you. Only thing was that when I got attacked, Billy came to my defense. And he was punished for doing so. Every bad word you read or hear in the special interest press about either one of us, just know that the powerful individuals who operate in the shadows of power, pulling the strings of your elected officials, the U.S. military, government contracts--they all want to keep things in your life exactly as they are now and Billy McKinney understood fully that we need change, but that we are not going to get the deep, structural kind of change we need--we can't get it on the cheap.
Billy McKinney made the kind of principled sacrifices that allow us to sleep better at night.
Lord, what are we going to do now?
Billy McKinney was all about love. And Billy McKinney loved Leola. During his illness, he would just sit and stare at my mother. And she would ask him what he's looking at. And he would say "I'm admiring how beautiful you are."
"Billy taught me to understand that even at the depth of my grief, I must never forget the grief of others."
Billy and Leola were the definition of love. And in these last months, they have shown me how devoid my life is of that kind of undefinable, unquantifiable love. In that regard, I have a lot of introspection to do.
Billy McKinney also taught me how to cry. Over these past few months, I didn't know my body could create so many tears. I have never in my life known this kind of sadness. But Billy taught me to understand that even at the depth of my grief, I must never forget the grief of others: that mothers are crying all over the world because of U.S. policy.
My father was such a strong black man. It would make me cry just to watch him endure his illness with such grace and dignity. He never complained. No matter how much discomfort my father was in, his universal response was "it's all good." And one day at the hospital he was so uncomfortable, he was really uncomfortable, but I heard him say aloud to himself, "It's gonna be alright, anyway."
One day he wanted the nurse to reposition him. He was getting his medicine in a way that prevented him from being moved, but he was uncomfortable. So he begged the nurse to please reposition him. Then, as the nurse was about to leave the room, Billy turned to me and asked, "Did she give in?"
Billy McKinney taught me how to live and how to love, how to cry and how to die. My father, BIlly McKinney, was a hell of a man.
On behalf of the family, I'd like to thank all of you for the love you gave my father during his life and the support you give to us now.
A Glimpse into the life of Honorable James Edward "Billy" McKinney
[Sunrise February 23, 1927 -- Sunset July 15, 2010]
James Edward "Billy" McKinney was born to the late Ann Lewis in Atlanta, Georgia. He was raised by his loving grandmother, Annie Bell Dixon.
Billy joined the U.S. Army in 1945. Upon his return to Georgia from the European war theatre, while still wearing his U.S. Army uniform, Billy was arrested for drinking from the "White Only" water fountain.
He attended Clark Atlanta, University and joined the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma.
In his younger days, Billy was an avid tennis player. He also spent a lot of time reading and researching, turning himself into a "walking encyclopedia." His unique view of the world sometimes found him at odds with so-called conventional wisdom, but Billy McKinney was true to his principles, regardless.
"Billy," as he is fondly known by family, friends and colleagues grew up to become a socially and politically conscious young man; always fighting for justice and equality. This mind-set led him to join the Atlanta Police Department in 1947. Billy was one of the first black policemen in the City of Atlanta. He often reflected on walking the streets of Atlanta being allowed to police only "colored" folk, since Black policemen were not allowed to arrest Whites. He readily recognized this injustice and formed a one-man protest, picketing the Atlanta Police Department headquarters on his off days, often in his police uniform and much to the ire of his fellow officers.
It was on his Grady Hospital "beat" that he met and married his loving wife of 56 years, Leola Christion McKinney. To this union, was born a daughter, Cynthia Ann McKinney. Billy also had 2 sons, Gregory and James, from a previous marriage.
Billy made a conscious decision that picketing from the outside was not as effective as being on the inside as a part of the law-making body, helping to make laws that made sense. He ran unsuccessfully for Alderman, County Commissioner, as well as U.S. Congress as an Independent Candidate in 1982, against Wyche Fowler.
Billy McKinney was NOT a quitter, and in 1970, was elected to the Georgia State Legislature after the passage of the 1965 Voting rights Act mandated election law changes in the State of Georgia. His position in the Legislature was accompanied by that of his daughter in 1989, as she too was elected to the Georgia State Legislature. Thus, Billy and Cynthia served as the first father-daughter team of lawmakers in the history of the State of Georgia. Billy served as an elected official in the State where he was born and raised for more than 30 years.
Many bills were enacted during his years as a public servant that changed the legislative landscape of the State of Georgia. In tribute to his service, a stretch of Interstate 285, from I-20 to the Cobb County line is named in his honor; Representative James E. "Billy" McKinney Highway.
Billy was one of the forgotten Civil Rights advocates and activists. He often joined causes for justice and equality with his then-young daughter on his shoulders. He marched with the more recognized leaders and fought just as hard with the less recognized, but just as important people in the neighborhoods and communities in Atlanta.
His political prowess was recognized across the nation and the world, and his advice and counsel were sought from elected officials and candidates for elected office near and far. He was requested to tell his life story annually for a period of time to students from California State University at Pomona, as the group toured the South on their Civil Rights Tour; and he often spoke at events of socially conscious organizations. Billy served on numerous boards and was active in many organizations.
He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Leola; daughter, former Congresswoman Cynthia Ann; 2 sons, James and Gregory; one grandson, Coy and 2 granddaughters, Morgan and Lauren; sisters-in-law Joan Christian (Thurman), Atlanta, GA, Virginia Christion, (Roosevelt "Fat"), Birmingham, AL; brothers-in-law Ernest Christion (Luvenia), Birmingham, AL, Haywood Christion (Wylean), Birmingham, AL Eugene Christion (Cassandra) Atlanta, GA; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors, and friends.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The failure of the United Auto Workers to unionize employees at the Volkswagen plant in Tennessee underscores a cultural disconnect between a labor-friendly German company and anti-union sentiment in the South.
The multiyear effort to organize Volkswagen's only U.S. plant was defeated on a 712-626 vote Friday night amid heavy campaigning on both sides.
Workers voting against the union said while they remain open to the creation of a German-style "works council" at the plant, they were unwilling to risk the future of the Volkswagen factory that opened to great fanfare on the site of a former Army ammunition plant in 2011.
"Come on, this is Chattanooga, Tennessee," said worker Mike Jarvis, who was among the group in the plant that organized to fight the UAW. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to us."
Jarvis, who hangs doors, trunk lids and hoods on cars said workers also were worried about the union's historical impact on Detroit automakers and the many plants that have been closed in the North, he said.
"Look at every company that's went bankrupt or shut down or had an issue," he said. "What is the one common denominator with all those companies? UAW. We don't need it."
Pocketbook issues were also on opponents' minds, Jarvis said. Workers were suspicious that Volkswagen and the union might have already reached "cost containment" agreements that could have led to a cut in their hourly pay rate, he said.
Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, who has been among the UAW's most vocal critics, said at the time that Volkswagen would become a "laughingstock" in the business world if it welcomed the union to its plant.
Volkswagen wants to create works council at the plant, which represents both blue collar and salaried workers. But to do so under U.S. law requires the establishment of an independent union. Several workers who cast votes against the union said they still support the idea of a works council - they just don't want to have to work through the UAW.

Thank you Lorredan, another great image from you!
Here there is a picture of this triumph of Death in its entirety.
I have found on this German page a transcription of the texts on the fresco:
The Old and Poor on the left: POI CHE PROSPERTITA/ CIA LASCIATI OMORTE/ MEDICINA AOGNI PENA VIECI/ ADARE OMAI LULTIMA CENA, (since prosperity has left us, oh death, medicine for all suffering, come and give us our last supper)
Death: IO NON BRAMO SE NON DI SPEGNER VITA E CHI MI CHIAMA LE PIUVOLTE SCHIVO/ GIUNGENDO SPESSO A CHI MI TORCIE IL GRIFO (my only desire is to extinguish life, and I ignore those who invoke me many times, I often go to those who try to avoid me)
The two Young and Rich men on the right: QUANTE DOLCIE MONDO CHI SA PAGASSE / TU DICI BENVERO SE PROSPERITA DURASSE, (First man: this world is so sweet to those who enjoy it / Second man: you would say the truth, if prosperity could last)
Christ: O TU CHE LEGGI PON CHURA AI COLPI DI CHOSTEI CH OCISE ME CHESO SIGNIOR DI LEI. (you who read, take care of the strikes of this one: she killed me even if I am her lord)

Hey guys, my dad has been fighting a very rare form of cancer for
7 years now. It is a soft tissue sarcoma. He has been going to
massachusetts general hospital and it is one of the best hospitals
in the world. In the 7 years he has had 7 major opperations on
trying to remove these tumors that continue to pop up in a new
spot every 6 months. He has always had the right spirit and mind
set to make it through but now it is a different story. He is
going through treatments again for another tumor they found
in the lung , he doesnt feel good and he has that look to him that
he is just so sick of this he doesnt want to fight anymore. It is
killing me to see this. He is a great man. The doctor said that my
dads cards are all in on this round of chemo, if it doesnt work
he is in trouble. Please guys, say a prayer for my Dad and my
Mom (she is having a hard time) that he pulls through and this
chemo works. It sucks that such a rare form of cancer went to
such a rare type of man. Thank you.

Your spine has an essential and monumentally important task to do — the spine holds up your head, shoulders and upper body. The spine also gives you flexibility to bend and twist, and to stand up straight.
Your spine is made up of small bones, called vertebrae, which are stacked on top of one another and create the natural curves of your back. If and when these vertebrae come out of alignment, they can cause pain and interrupt normal daily activities.
Thanks to our increasingly active lives, shoulder problems, including shoulder and upper arm sprains and strains are very common. In 2006, approximately 7.5 million people went to the doctor's office for a shoulder problem. Of those, more than 4.1 million were for rotator cuff problems.
Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by athletic activities that involve excessive, repetitive, overhead motion, such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting. Injuries can also occur during everyday activities such washing walls, hanging curtains, and gardening.
Other common upper arm and elbow problems include dislocation, fractures and tears.
A hip fracture is a break in the upper quarter of the femur (thigh) bone. The extent of the break depends on the forces that are involved. The type of surgery used to treat a hip fracture is primarily based on the bones and soft tissues affected or on the level of the fracture.
The "hip" is a ball-and-socket joint. It allows the upper leg to bend and rotate at the pelvis.
We use our hands hundreds of times each day for all kinds of tasks from writing to typing to cooking and cleaning to driving. As a result, there are many opportunities to injure our hands, including fractures, sprains, strains, bites, cuts, and nerve injuries. Other common ailments are carpel tunnel and trigger finger, and of course, arthritis.
In 2003, patients made approximately 19.4 million visits to physicians' offices because of knee problems. It was the most common reason for visiting an orthopaedic surgeon.
The knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Many knee injuries can be successfully treated without surgery, while others require surgery to correct.
Many athletes experience injuries to their knee ligaments. Of the four major ligaments found in the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL) are often injured in sports. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) may also be injured.
Changing direction rapidly, slowing down when running, and landing from a jump may cause tears in the ACL. Athletes who participate in skiing and basketball, and athletes who wear cleats, such as football players, are susceptible to ACL injuries.
Injuries to the MCL are usually caused by a direct blow to the outside of the knee. These types of injuries often occur in contact sports, such as football or soccer.
The PCL is often injured when an athlete receives a blow to the front of the knee or makes a simple misstep on the playing field.
When people talk about torn knee cartilage, they are usually referring to a torn meniscus. The meniscus is a tough, rubbery cartilage that is attached to the knee's ligaments. The meniscus acts like a shock absorber. In athletic activities, tears in the meniscus can occur when twisting, cutting, pivoting, decelerating, or being tackled. Direct contact is often involved.
Just like our hands, we often take our feet and legs for granted. One of the most common issues is a sprained ankle, which can be caused by twisting the foot in the wrong direction, tripping or falling, or motor vehicle injuries.
Other common foot issues include flatfoot or club foot, complications with diabetes in the feet, and pain the toes.
Along with in-house physical therapy, SUN Ortho offers access to comprehensive on-site imaging services.
SUN Ortho also offers advanced bone densitometry device, sometimes called a DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiomety). This is a quick and painless procedure to measure bone density and is done by our own skilled technicians.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is the single most important predictor of bone fragility or osteoporotic type fractures. BMD accounts for 80% of an individual's fracture risk. Classical risk factor analysis is not sensitive enough to predict bone mass in individual patients. Nor are routine x-rays sensitive enough to detect osteoporosis until 25-40% of BMD has been lost. Bone densitometry is a non-invasive measurement of BMD which, in this case, is performed using x-rays.
(ESWT) is an innovative, non-surgical procedure for patient suffering from heel spurs (plantar fasciitis). The therapy, which quickens the body's own healing process, is an in-office procedure lasting about 20 minutes.
SUN Orthopaedic offers access to the latest in state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging. This painless diagnostic test can be performed in our office and takes about 45 minutes. Designed to examine extremities, the procedure is completely open and doesn't employ a closed in "tube" like other MRI systems. Although not designed to diagnose spinal problems, the system can be used to diagnose numerous other body parts ranging from knees and ankles to elbows, wrists and hands.

Back to the Homeland
By Lisa A. Alzo
Five tips to ensure a smooth journey.
Thanks to the Internet, you can make a virtual visit to pretty much any country in the world. But nothing beats a real trip back to your ancestral homeland to do hands-on research, or to see where your ancestors walked. But before you pack your bags, here are five tasks you can do in advance to ensure a smooth journey.
1. Make a list of must-dos.
Since you'll have a limited amount of time, plan your itinerary ahead. Prioritize places you want see: churches and cemeteries, the mayor's office or town hall, landmarks, and archives and repositories.
2. Know where you're going.
the village beforehand to find key contacts, such as the mayor or priest, and e-mail or write letters to several months in advance. They'll likely to be more willing to help you connect with family or find records. Try checking foreign telephone directories such as
for surnames to see if you still have living kin in the area.
3. Enlist the help of professionals.
If it's your first visit, you may need some help with details of booking your trip. Look for companies that specialize in European tours. Check with
, the
Destination Marketing Association International Directory
, or
Genealogy Tour and Travel Services
. See the
March 2009
Family Tree Magazine
for budget travel tips.
4. Review your research.
Build a historical timeline and create a "to-do" list for your research tasks. Prioritize them in order of most important. Bring along as much of your genealogical
as research you can (you could store key information on your cell phone, laptop or USB drive).
5. Investigate the archives.
Before you leave home, search the archive or repository's online catalog and familiarize yourself with policies and procedures. If permission is required to visit an archive, plan to obtain it in advance.

Letters 11-18-2012
Highway patrol
It's not needed here
The letter from John Young regarding the need for a county highway patrol is so ludicrous that I feel the need to reply.
Basically, we have a lot of police officers in the County of Hawaii and most of them, if they are not flagging traffic or providing a caravan for the military, are busy watching the highway.
Unfortunately this is usually done from hiding behind a bush and radioing ahead to stop a dangerous desperado who has picked up his cell phone, stopped with his bumper across the white line, let his small dog loose in the car, or forgotten his seat belt, safety inspection, or registration. (By the way check the safety inspection on the police vehicles on the road and you would be surprised by how many are expired.)
As far as being on his way to investigate a burglary, or going after a drug dealer — if only it were true. The fact is this nepotistic, high school-educated force of kanakas couldn't solve a minor crime if they saw it in process.
The officer in the letter stated that he wasn't going to stop anyone because that would add to his already full plate. Plate of what? Evidently, his bento lunch to add to his already bulging waistline.
Let's get these officers some more training and get them out from behind the bush.
Writing as many tickets as you can simply to pay your wage is not benefiting the people.
Writing a seat belt violation to a pick up driver who has four people lounging in the bed of a pickup seems to make little sense.
It's time for some educated decisions being made at the top. Is that the mayor or the chief of police?
James Krzeminski
Fish collecting
What is taken is lost to the rest of us
I was appalled by the headline. After that terrible waste of tropical fish on Honokohau Harbor the other year, I voiced my opinion on fish collecting and you have to ask the question?
Of course the numbers are down. Those who rape our shores of those beautiful creatures should all be fined or jailed.
Unlike trees that can be replanted, we cannot replace tropical fish in the same way. Most creatures like these do not breed in captivity.
What's taken is lost to the rest of us —for good. It's unfortunate that ignorant individuals will continue to take fish from their natural habitat and sell them for money.
When one of my former students said, "That's what my uncle does," I thought, what a sad world this is. Maybe we don't deserve to have God's creatures for our enjoyment.
