President Obama today nominated three liberals to fill longstanding judicial vacancies on the important Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Will the Senate rubber-stamp the president's nominees—even though the court's fine as it is, with the eight judges currently serving enjoying the lightest caseload in the country? In 2006, when the Senate refused to consider the nomination of Peter Keisler to that court, Senator Ted Kennedy stressed that "we should consider these caseload declines carefully before we fill the current vacancy. American taxpayers deserve no less." Since then, the court has only added more judges and heard fewer cases.
Or could the House weigh in? Today Congressman Tom Cotton introduced the Stop Court Packing Act, legislation that would reduce the number of judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from eleven to eight.

Male, 68 years
Kailua, HI
About Bible1I have always had two jobs: one for benefits, and two for spiritual fulfillment. Before my illness, I tried to volunteer for every opportunity to help others. I think I may have overdone my "helping" job to the detriment of my "benefits" job as I struggle to put in sufficient years to qualify for retirement. I love to play music, speak in public, and I generally eat when I am anxious or depressed. This has caused Type II diabetes with a very low blood sugar that I think I can beat by cutting out the carbs and fats, and shedding about 30 lbs. So far, I have not made it.

I have not been a fan of this foundation for a long time, despite the tremendous amount of good it has done, can do, and will do. There comes a time, sometimes, when the bad will outweigh the good. They're headed down that road at a pretty fast pace.
I stopped supporting them a long time ago. They continue to follow the same trend many other people and organizations do, allowing idiotic politicians dictate who they can and cannot help, I find that appalling, and don't want to support that. They've changed a lot over the years and no longer stand for what I personally believe they ought to, or they originally set out to do. They've become too corporate and that's just wrong, imo.
I'm not at all surprised to see this.
It's just not the same foundation it once was.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
December 1st, 2008, 04:30 PM #1Datafeed Major Issue Need Help NOW
We have it set up to get them in the merchant id as the filename. Then they started coming in the name again. Then we haven't gotten the since 11/12.
I contacted my acct manager but no results for half a month.
Today they come new, all in merchant name and they are supposed to be in merchant id for file name.
And from before even the merchant name file names keep changing. We have American_Eagle_Outfitters.gz and americaneagleoutfitters.gz
How are we supposed to work with this crap? I can't keep having my guys put in man hours and money out of my pocket to make it work anymore. We already spent time mapping all the merchants to the merchant id filenames. I won't do it again to make it work for file names that keep changing. Enough is enough, fix it now or we are not going to use any of your feeds. (which we aren't anyways as we have none usable.)
December 1st, 2008, 04:44 PM #2
An added note, we had it set up in the network to get out feeds via merchant id, and just checking now and it was switched back to name. Who or what keeps switching it? I just now changed it back to id again.
December 1st, 2008, 06:20 PM #3

Diese Inselgruppe gilt nicht nur in der Andamanensee als hervorragende Tauchregion, sondern zählt zu den 10 besten Tauchrevieren der Welt. Sie sollten sich die Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen, die Küste von Phuket zu erkunden und bei Tag oder nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit die Similan-Inseln zu besuchen.
Phang Nga-Bucht
Die Phang Nga-Bucht liegt im Norden der Insel Phuket und ist bekannt für ihre atemberaubenden Kalksteinklippen, die sich aus dem Wasser und den immergrünen Mangrovenwäldern erheben. Genießen Sie die malerische Landschaft bei einer Bootsfahrt, paddeln Sie mit dem Kajak durch enge Höhlen und besuchen Sie Koh Panyee, ein von vormals nomadisch lebenden Fischern auf Stelzen im Wasser erbautes Dorf.
Phuket (Stadt) (chinesisch-portugiesische Bauten, Märkte, Ao Chalong-Tempel, Großer Buddha – Tour von Laguna Tours)
Die geografische Lage von Phuket hat der Insel eine reiche Geschichte beschert, unter anderem geprägt von birmanischen Invasionen, Zinnminen, dem Gummihandel, verschiedenen Glaubensrichtungen und dem Tourismus. Ohne diese Ereignisse und Geschehnisse wäre Phuket heute sicher nicht zu einer so bekannten und weltweit beliebten Insel geworden.
Prompthep Cape
Most photographs of the stunningly beautiful sunset in Phuket were taken here: Laem Phromthep at the south-most tip of Phuket island offers a memorable, unparalleled sunset moment on a clear day. Go early and sit back to enjoy the sun setting behind the Andaman sea. With its landscape easily recognizable by sailors, it is also the location of the 50-feet-tall Kanchanaphisek Lighthouse, erected in 1996 to celebrate the auspicious occasion of the king's 50th anniversary of his accession to the throne.
Phuket Old Town
Phuket was one of the major Peranakan Chinese cultural centrals, along with Singapore, Malacca and Penang, thanks to the dramatic growing of tin mining business in early 19th century, luring in a large number of Chinese merchants from the China mainland. It was led to the constructions of Sino-Portuguese mansions and shop houses in the Phuket town. These buildings were the residence of tin mine tycoons, and their descendants, featuring unique Peranakan architectural styles. Each shophouse look narrow from the front but its space spans as long as ten meters or more to the back, making there's a vast space to accommodate a lot of people. Walk along the roads of Dibuk, Phang-Nga, Yaowarat, Thalang and Krabi to admire the beauty of crafted facade of the remaining shop houses. Some of them are now open as a boutique hotel you can also try lodging. For an in-depth history of Peranakan culture in Phuket, you might want to pay a visit to Phuket Thai Hua Museum.
Chalong Temple
Wat Chalong is the most famous and sacred temple in Phuket as it was the residence of a respected monk Luang Po Cham, who took part helping people during the Chinese Coolie Rebellion in 1876 during the reign of King Rama V. The statue of Luang Po Chaem is now enshrined at the main hall, together with statues of Luang Po Chuang and Luang Po Kluem, other revered monks who resided at the temple in later years. Locals and visitors usually visit the temple to vow their wishes from the statues, and will return to burn firecrackers when the wishes become true.
Chinaprapha House
The first Sino-Portuguese mansion in Phuket town, Ban Chinnapracha was built in circa 1903 during the era of King Rama V. The mansion was the former residence of Phra Phithak Chinnapracha (Tan Ma Sieng), son of a local tycoon Luang Bamrung Chinnaprathet (Tan Neow Yee), who were originally from Fujian province in China. This kind of mansion is called Ang Mor Lao by the locals, which means "Western-style building" in Hokkien Chinese. Part of the mansion is now renovated as The Blue Elephant Phuket, the world's famous Thai restaurant and cooking school.
Phuket Thai Hua Museum
Phuket has a long history as a trading hub controlled by the local Peranakan Chinese community, a community is Straits Chinese found in Singapore, Penang and Malacca) and the best way to explore this rich history is at the Phuket Thaihua Museum, housed in a charming 1930s British-colonial-style mansion that was formerly the oldest Chinese-language school in Phuket. Spread over the two stories are 16 galleries portraying the island's Chinese ancestry and Phuket Town's growth to prosperity.
Opening hours: Daily 09.00 a.m. - 17.00 p.m.

Survey Respondents: The Polar Ice Caps of Market ResearchMonday, February 22, 2016, 6:25 am 6 Comments
In order to improve our industry's outlook, we need to make some significant changes across the entire research ecosystem. Here are some ideas to get you thinking…


text:
I certainly do, but you're too dumb to understand it. Or if you prefer in your parlance, you're too married to your ideology. You project your insufficiencies onto others when you rant and rave.
Frankly it's not worth my time. I'd have to keep trying to build the very fundamentals of subject knowledge for you and frankly you're not worth that much damn effort.
Au contraire. It is YOU who is to blind to see. Plenty of other countries have offered this therapy with stunning results but we wouldn't want to infirnge on the profits of Bg Pharma by helping people. So let's make them suffer to protect markets for the industry "leaders". Pathetic!
Dr. Vijaynager "The U.S. is way behind everybody else"
Dr. Barth Green of Uni Miami Miller School of Medicine Chairman of the Dept. of Neurological Surgery. "The Pharmaceutical Industry all over the world is shaking in their boots as cellular medicine will replace drugs"
No kidding. But in the meantime make the public suffer so you can make more money. Sounds like a plan.
The main objection I see here as to why cellular medicine is not allowed in the U.S. is the smoke in mirrors excuse of safety, designed to protect markets for the pharmaceutical industry. Anyone have a legit reason as to why this is not allowed in the U.S.?
Because the all-mighty government says so.
No matter how many times you've posted links to cellmedicine.com glorifying the "thousands of people who have had the treatment and are receiving the benefits" that is not a substitute for well-designed randomized controlled trials which evaluate safety and efficacy. And, despite your ongoing crusade about this, the United States is conducting tons of research in this area. For reasons we have been over 20 times before, proper evaluation of a therapy takes time and controlled studies to document the true magnitude of "benefit" as well as establish the incidence and severity of side effects.
There are several sad examples from the medical history books of therapies that were approved and put into use without adequate study to establish benefit and/or safety, only to be retracted later because they were ineffective and in some cases harmful.
If I gave you a pill yesterday, and you feel better today, does that mean the pill helped you? I don't really know. Maybe you would have felt better today even without the pill. That's why we need randomized, controlled trials - to wash out the placebo effect, the rebound effect, and determine the true benefit of a particular therapy. You'll cite the "thousands of people have gotten this therapy..." line all you want, but we don't know if the cell therapy actually did anything for them until it is tested in a randomized controlled trial (which many U.S. scientists have been / still are working on).
I would love it if this came to fruition. It's basic premise is what I have been saying all along, flood the markets with drugs and prices will drop dramatically. Plus, being able to get cutting edge meds to people who need them faster could be life changing. I support progressive approval, 100%.Push progressive approval then gut obama care and you just may have a medical situation people can actually afford.
Yes you got half of the equation right. But the government does so at the behest of Big Pharma.
And no matter how many times you say we need clinical studies people are already being helped by this therapy. Are thousands of people getting a placebo from this treatment? Are the people who use medical marijuana just imaging their benefits? Maybe they should wait until/if science does clinical trials to confirm what they already know? All the studies the U.S. is doing means little if there is no applicable treatment. You can choose to stay in your bubble of clinical trials thinking but many of Americans are deciding to take their health in their own hands and get help before things are confirmed to the FDA and Big Pharma standards. Can't wait until this information is more well known and the public clamors for this to become a reality, much like medical marijuana and then the death of Big Pharma and hopefully the FDA as we know it is soon at hand.
Most likely this will only come to fruition in the U.S. if the public clamors for it much like medical marijuana. When the profits of Big Pharma are in question then things will be done to protect them at the expense of the public. This is more like criminal activity and those responsible should be brought up for prosecution. This may be a nation of laws but not of justice.
What are you going to do when medical marijuana becomes "big"?
I mean shit, its already in the billions and getting bigger every day. I've made a pretty penny already just in the past couple of months trading on a couple of companies.
You think there's some spiritual looking hippy dude on a sunny hillside growing boutique weed or something? Its state of the art factory farming funded my some serious investors. It doesn't get any "big"er.
Notice the sector/industry indicator below the name of the corporation?
Current value- 121million
Current value- 245 million
Visited one a month ago. This is spot on.
And here I thought you were going to be reasonable for once. Come on man...
Tell me more, please? I'm curious. Which company/facility did you visit?
I'd prefer not to go into details, but suffice it to say, this was a small operation that is about to become much larger. There were several grow rooms with different lighting in each to accommodate the strain and maturity of the plants. Of course, hydroponics were pumped throughout with canisters containing different nutrients that were distributed to each of the different rooms in different quantities, mixtures, etc. It was all computer controlled.
It's not like I didn't know there was a lot to it, but this was extremely impressive.
Lol, yes, that is literally what he think.
It's even more so when you find out many are doing HPLC and mass spec assays on the extracts strain by strain to assess potency and relative content of each cannabinoid.
A friend works for Waters Science, he is selling analytical equipment like hotcakes to these companies, at between $80,000 and $200,000 a pop.
And a cursory look at the research literature shows an exponential increase in mechanistic and molecular signalling studies on cannabis, so we can be assured of some really high level shit coming down the pipe in future years.
They just took marijuana straight into custom breeding and genetic manipulation.
Big business indeed.
"Psylocybin is one hell of a drug!"
Not surprised. I imagine you would have understood a hell of a lot more what these guys were saying. I basically just stood there, nodding and smiling.
Hey, if it was fun it was worth it. Especially if they gave you some free samples! lol

The first thing I learned about reliever Mike Gonzalez today is he's obviously done his homework on the Orioles.
"Looking at the lineup, seeing the core, these guys are not just young, but very talented guys," he said. "You look at the defense. I've got a great middle defense up in the front, the middle infield and the outfield. As a pitcher, that's what you want, that's what you look for. It seemed like a good fit for me.
"They're exciting, they're young, they're very talented. And it's going to be a pleasure to work with these guys and be a part of it."
Gonzalez, who passed his physical today and met with the media in a third-floor conference room at the warehouse, wanted the opportunity to close. He'll have to compete for the job, according to president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, but Gonzalez isn't being paid $12 million over the next two years to be a set-up man. He'll go into spring training with the title of closer.
"Obviously I've always felt that's what I wanted to do," he said. "I feel really comfortable in that position."
MacPhail rattled off some stats on Gonzalez: Left-handers have hit around .200 against him in his career, including .194 this year. He's struck out over 28 percent of the batters he's faced, which ranks 15th among 243 relievers who qualify. But MacPhail also is looking beyond the numbers.
"We paid and continue to pay particular attention to those players who not only are quality contributors on the field, but are really quality character people, who can make our young players understand what it takes to compete and win in the American League," he said.
"The one constant thing you will always hear about Mike Gonzalez is what a competitor he is, what a good teammate he is - beyond the simple fact that he's just tough to hit."
Gonzalez isn't concerned about switching leagues. And he isn't afraid of the big, bad AL East.
"The thing I'm excited about is the division I'm going to be playing in," he said. "Obviously, everybody knows it's the toughest division in baseball. To be able to face those lineups, I take it as a challenge. I'm a competitor and that's what I want to do. And this is where you get to show where you're at."
Gonzalez was the No. 1 reliever on the Orioles' board. They still need another left-hander, and MacPhail again brought up Mark Hendrickson's name.
"He started, he relieved and he did a nice job," MacPhail said. "He also has that veteran influence that is helpful. I certainly wouldn't rule that one out."
Asked about the bullpen, MacPhail said, "I would be surprised if we did a lot real soon. I think we're at the point we did those things early that we thought needed to be done early, and I think we're in a position where we can let the market percolate a little bit and see what's available to us."

Marketing Campaigns | With 20 years of experience, it's safe to say that DMC knows what works, and more importantly, what doesn't. Utilizing an effective marketing campaign can be the difference between staying flat or growing your business. When given those two choices every entrepreneur would choose growth. Yet, so many don't take advantage of direct marketing. Why is that? Well, most entrepreneurs that don't utilize this powerful tool would say simply, "It didn't work for me". Yet when you delve deeper into the subject, you invariably find that they simply didn't execute the campaign well at all. Typically, if the answer is, "It didn't work for me", that entrepreneur used a single drop postcard campaign and saw no response to it. While that may be a revelation to them, it is no surprise to us.
There are several key strategies that must be present in any successful campaign:
Consistency | Your brand and message must be in front of your prospect with regularity if you wish to convert cold prospects into sales growth. Seeing your company's name one time in their mail will rarely, if ever, illicit interest from a prospect. This is why DMC strongly recommends multiple-drop campaigns. It's very important to follow up and follow through with prospects and you do that with consistency and continuity between each drop. Without that, your efforts will always fall short.
Unique marketing tools | We all have an "A" pile and a "B" pile when it comes to our mail. The "A" pile is the mail that will be read by its recipient and the "B" pile will "C" its way to the trash. This is why you must do everything in your power to get in that "A" pile and get your message read by your prospect. DMC accomplishes just that with our cutting edge direct marketing products. Whether it's our bulky mail, Video Books, Mini-Zines, Shooks, etc., the whole point is to make your message stick out from the crowd and get past the gatekeeper. If you want results, you have to be unique, it's that simple.
Winning strategies | There is no "one size fits all" direct marketing campaign, every campaign is different, and so too are the strategies. DMC prides itself on methodical and meticulous test campaigns. Based on those results, DMC can adjust accordingly to yield the best possible outcome for your direct marketing efforts. Once this "evergreen campaign" is established, our clients will see a large increase in their ROI and generate the sales growth every entrepreneur is looking for.
Direct marketing is integral for any successful business venture, and with the experts at DMC on your side, the sky truly is the limit. Not only will we help your business generate the success it deserves, we will make the process a painless and headache free one. But don't just take our word for it…
"I had never done direct mail before, but I had a product I couldn't sell and wanted to try something new. Did my first
campaign with DMC, the direct marketing experts and gave them such a short deadline to get the creative together. With
the variable data printing and pURL technology, it ended up being one of the most successful marketing campaigns
I've ever witnessed. I absolutely recommend working with DMC; I cannot say enough good things."– Dr. Chris G.
"Through the assistance of DMC's marketing products, we have gone from struggling to fill 600 seat venues to selling
out and turning people away at a 1200 seat venue. Another area of immense growth has been the role of corporate
sponsorships integrated into our events. Through the event program that Direct Marketing Concierge has developed
for FightNight, our events have become an extremely attractive and effective tool for our sponsors." – Aaron J.

Like the title suggest, after a long time of lurking I decided to register in this forum. I'm 22, Mexican-American college student living in the Bay Area. I grew up in a predominately immigrant Latino neighborhood near South LA. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. Despite being a Spanish native speaker, my grammar and spelling is sub par, which is why I'm taking Spanish classes in college. I tried to teach myself Russian and German in high school but was unsuccessful. I only know a few words in those languages. I took a quarter of Mandarin Chinese. I did quite well, my teacher wanted me to continue but decided to improve my Spanish first before learning other languages.
I joined this forum because I find the discussions comparing and contrasting American vs Foriegn cultures very interesting. I see truth to what has been said regarding American culture; isolating, paranoid, cliqueish etc. Since I'm an introvert, I assumed it was just me but apparently it's not. I've also enjoyed reading posts regarding their experiences visiting and living in foreign countries. My only experience is going to Mexico for 3 weeks with my parents when I was 9 years old. I'd like to travel one day when I have time and money to do so.
I hope to learn more about other cultures, somehow contribute to the forum and meet new people. Thanks for reading
P.S edit at 5/16/11: Seems I forgot to include I'm female Hope it doesn't change those who have welcomed me so far.

Zimmer's memories of Robinson remain strong
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Don Zimmer can sense that something has been lost with the passing of time.
Perhaps it's a new generation's fixation on the now, attention spans fit for a 140-character age or the fact that legacies – even great ones like Jackie Robinson's — tend to fade among some when living witnesses turn few. Life's a cycle, turnover part of the experience, and ties between the past and present become rare but valued when preserved.
On a recent Friday, Zimmer, 82, a Tampa Bay Rays senior adviser, sat in the home dugout at Tropicana Field and brought history to life. This is the time of year when Robinson, Zimmer's Brooklyn Dodgers teammate from 1954 to '56, is honored across the country for breaking the majors' color barrier with the Dodgers on April 15, 1947. This is a moment to consider the strength of a man who rose above his era's ignorance and allowed other African-American players such as Larry Doby, Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella to overcome hate and create chance.
"I am proud to say," Zimmer said, "I was a teammate of Jackie Robinson."
Zimmer looked toward right field, near where Rays players tossed balls to one another before playing the Cleveland Indians. Baseball has been his life — this is his 55th season in the majors as a coach, player or manager and his 10th with the Rays — and the icon has noticed change in many ways. Change in the way young players remember Robinson. Change in the way the trailblazer's legacy is retained in clubhouses in a different America. Change in the way, for many, how Robinson, the man, has become Robinson, the history lesson.
Yes, this is the time of year for No. 42, a month of tribute for someone who transcended his sport and touched his nation. But to Zimmer, a witness to Robinson's courage and a tie between baseball's past and present, the memory lasts much longer. It's more full.
"There are so many young guys," he said, his voice trailing off, "who don't know what 42 means."
* * * *
He'll never forget the first time he saw Robinson play.
It was 1947, and Zimmer was just 16. His American Legion baseball team, representing Robert E. Bentley Post 50 in Cincinnati, won the national championship in Los Angeles that year. As a gift, Zimmer and his teammates traveled to Yankee Stadium to watch a World Series game between the Dodgers and New York Yankees.
Robinson played first base that day. His skills quickly caught the attention of Zimmer, a mere dreamer at that point. Zimmer saw how Robinson, a versatile athlete in earlier years in Pasadena, Calif., could affect the game in a number of ways: With a bunt or a double, with a home run or a stolen base, with power or finesse. There were no limits.
"He could beat you so many ways — it was unbelievable," Zimmer said. "And he was a tough competitor. He had to be."
Zimmer saw that trait up close when he joined the Dodgers as an infielder in 1954. Over parts of the next three seasons — almost a decade removed from Robinson's '47 debut against the Boston Braves before 26,623 fans at Ebbets Field — memories were made that showed the duality of Branch Rickey's experiment.
For Zimmer and Robinson, it included images of both progress and pain. There was both joy and setback.
The positive: Zimmer remembers Robinson as fearless on the field. Once, the two players sat on the bench between at-bats. Zimmer recalls Robinson telling him, "If I get on first base, I'm going to get in a pickle, because I can get out of it." Sure enough, a short time later, Robinson did just that and escaped pursuit of him.
Another day, Sal Maglie, an intimidating right-hander for the New York Giants, was knocking down Dodgers hitters with unforgiving aggression from the mound. Robinson approached the batter's box, and as Zimmer recalls it, told Maglie, "First of all, you can hit me. And if you hit me, you won't hurt me. Now, I want to push that bunt down the first-base line."
Sure enough, Robinson did just that, and Maglie stood frozen on the mound as the ball skirted the line but stayed fair.
"That's one of the few ways he could get back at somebody," Zimmer said. "He was a tough cookie."
The negative: Bigotry stayed part of Robinson's life in the majors, even as he worked to prove he belonged.
Zimmer recalls Robinson's separate hotels and the different restrooms and drinking fountains for whites and African-Americans. Zimmer recalls hearing stories about Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman, a native of Nashville, Tenn., who berated Robinson with mention of shoe shines and cotton fields, cackles of "boy" and other words much, much worse. (Chapman reportedly gave his pitchers the green light to hit Robinson on 3-0 counts instead of walking him.)
Zimmer recalls learning about the tension between Robinson and outfielder Dixie Walker, a native of Villa Rica, Ga., who was traded from the Dodgers to the Pittsburgh Pirates after the '47 season, in part, because of a desire not to play with an African-American. Little was easy.
"First of all, you never thought it would happen, that people would think that way," Zimmer said. "But that's the way it was. Him coming into the big leagues, he was going to have to accept that. As for Larry Doby, Newcombe and Campanella coming in, there were more black players coming in to where he could at least have a little fight back."
Almost 66 years after Robinson's fight began, signs of his influence are everywhere.
* * * *
The talk with Zimmer in the dugout turned to "42," a film directed by Brian Helgeland released Friday about Robinson's first season with the Dodgers. A few weeks ago, Zimmer, usually not a big movie fan, took in an early showing in Tampa, Fla.. He turned emotional.
"I saw that movie, and it brought tears to my eyes — some of the crap (Robinson) had to take," Zimmer said, a touch of anger in his voice.
To this day, Zimmer remains a wealth of knowledge. He considered Robinson a friend, and the two kept in touch before Robinson's death on Oct. 24, 1972. In Zimmer's condo in Seminole, Fla., there's a photo on a wall of him and Robinson holding putters from a golf game in Gulfport, Fla., in 1957.
A conversation with Zimmer about Robinson or any other baseball topic is like taking a museum's verbal tour. Zimmer is unafraid to offer advice to players and Rays manager Joe Maddon, despite age making it harder for him to do so. His spring-training appearances this year in Port Charlotte, Fla., were more rare. He was hospitalized last spring because of kidney problems, and he requires dialysis eight hours a day each day of the week. Time slows even the most driven.
Ask around Tropicana Field, though, and mention of Zimmer draws reactions ranging from the deep to reverential. He hopes to be at all Rays home games. His presence is proof that the past is never far away.
"To be a part of history like that, which he (Zimmer) is, and for us to have that resource and to not take advantage of it, we would be crazy," Maddon said. "That's how I look at it. I'm always asking him questions. He has not really related any kind of specific stories (about Robinson), inspirational or not, about him. It's just that he was so impressed with Jackie as a player and as a person."
The current Rays have a lot of respect for Zimmer, who played 12 years in the majors from 1954 to 1965 — Zimmer finished his playing career batting .235 with 91 homers and 352 RBI.
"The players he has been around — the teams, the managers, everything, it's just so much history with him," Rays center fielder Desmond Jennings said. "When he walks in the room, it's just like, 'It's Don Zimmer.' It's just the level of respect that you have for somebody who has been through so much."
Zimmer's managerial career started in 1972 with the San Diego Padres and concluded with the Chicago Cubs in 1991. He won the NL Manager of the Year in 1989 when the Cubs finished 93-69 to win the NL East before losing to the San Francisco Giants 4-1 in the NLCS.
"I wish I had him home with me every night," Rays reliever Joel Peralta said. "Here, he's probably the guy who understands more about the game than anybody else. He sees things that probably nobody else can see. He's been in the game so long that he'll come to me sometimes and say stuff that just one word makes sense. And it helps."
Said Freddy Berowski, reference librarian at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum: "I think the farther away we get from the past, these ties tend to slip away. I think it's always good when a ballclub can connect to the past, whether it's their own franchise's past or the greater past of the game. The thing is, if these guys can remember history – if the players know a little bit about history, the teams know about history and they're not trying to ignore it – only good things can come of that."
Back in the dugout, Zimmer continued to watch the Rays warm up in an empty dome. Another day of his life's rhythm unfolded before him. Gloves popped between catches. Rock music blared through speakers. This is his comfort. This is a life Robinson made possible for many.
"I'm just tickled that I got to be part of it and play with him," Zimmer said, shortly before walking away.
Life speeds, times change. Respect for some, though, is never lost.

I passed the M2140-726 certification today with the help of your provided Questions Answers. This mixed with the course that you have to take in order to become a certified is the way to go. If you do however think that just remembering the questions and answers is all you need to pass well you are wrong. There were quite a few questions on the exam that are not in the provided QA but if you prepare all these Questions Answers; you will attempt those very easily. Jack from England

What do you do if you're a member of the Sandwich Generation and you've moved to a new area to help an aging parent? Or what if your elderly parent, who doesn't live near you, needs to find a repair person, doctor, or other service provider?
I've wrestled with both of these problems and have three recommendations to help you:
- Ask people. If I'm the one who moved into a new area, I ask everyone I can, even total strangers. In this last move, we found a new hair stylist from a lady at church, a doctor from my landlord, and a dentist from my doctor. If it's my elderly parent's area I'm researching, I make sure I always have a list of their friends, neighbors, and pastor, giving me a pool of people to call for recommendations.
- The Better Business Bureau is one of my favorite resource sites for researching businesses. They don't always have a business listed but I consider that a good sign. Not great, but not bad either, since apparently no one has made any major complaints.
- After hearing great feedback and, of course, checking the Better Business Bureau, I have added as a great resource to my "Sandwich Generation Toolbox." Since I live in a small city, about 45 miles from the main area they cover, I haven't had as much success as I would living in a larger metropolitan area. Even so, it's proven itself useful several times and I will definitely be renewing my membership. This great service helped me research heater and air conditioner repair companies, a good locksmith, doctors, and more. I've gleaned information from them and added information to them and I definitely recommend
Well, there you have it. My three favorite ways to help my Sandwich Generation family by finding reliable and reputable assistance even though in an unfamiliar area.
P.S. If you have to move an elderly family member, I would recommend that you read the guest post by Katie Hustead at SandwichINK, The Sandwich Generation Issues of Moving Mom and Dad: Senior Moving Services Assistance, along with the comments. There, you'll find more useful information specific to researching senior moving services for that situation.

SPUC condemns free IVF plan
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has reacted critically to reports that the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) may recommend that IVF treatment should be offered free to all women under 40 who experience fertility problems. Anthony Ozimic, SPUC political secretary, commented: "Although we have great sympathy for couples who suffer from infertility, IVF involves experimenting with, discarding and demeaning vast numbers of newly-conceived embryonic unborn children. No fewer than 1.2 million human embryos have been killed or left frozen as a result of IVF. Free IVF will mean that countless thousands more human beings at their most vulnerable stage of development will be threatened by death or indignity." Mr Ozimic said: "It must be remembered that IVF is a very unsuccessful way of treating infertility and the desire of cientists to obtain human embryos to experiment upon has resulted in the sidelining of other, more successful forms of infertility treatment which don't involve destructive embryo techniques. "Health care resources should prioritise ethical and successful ways of helping childless couples - ways which don't involve wasting and degrading human life", he concluded.

01 January 1998 149 mins
That's Life is a big bucks porno production filmed in Bora-Bora, Las Vegas & Paris, and follows the life of a bored but over sexed Parisian postman who wins the lottery and meets the girl of his fantasies. Greed and lust lead him down a path of orgasmic highs and painful, unimaginable lows. Directed by the master of porn, Pierre Woodman, "That's Life", is a compelling classic and a perfect example of retro-hardcore, driven by a dynamic script full of knee trembling sex scenes including up close anal and double penetrations and featuring among other beauties, the delectable Katja Kean who has the body of a tanned goddess. What would you do if you came into more than 10 million dollars and then lost it again? "C'est la vie" as the French say.

Well the rules say you can't win back to back challenges also about the posts being off topic I guess that's true and we could do that.
Although i'm not really known in this section, since I'll try to participate in future SOTWs I feel I should give my 2 cents.
I like the idea of 2 separate SOTW for the more advanced and the beginners, but what a someone really good just stays in the beginner SOTW, and has the skill to move up but keeps winning back to back?
And as for taking our awards/ winnings to our respective section, we'd have to tell the Sectional Mods so they won't lock/delete/move it because its Spam/Off-Topic.
But the main thing that'll bring people is the prizes, but that I'll leave to the GFX Team.
Well the rules say you can't win back to back challenges also about the posts being off topic I guess that's true and we could do that.
thats where classing help out only certain class will be allowed to competed against their own level
"Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."Princess since: 7/3/2012Need something translated from/to English? PM/VM me!
I don't know if this idea has been posted already (cbf to read all the posts), but here's my idea:
Every SOTW winner can choose one of the GFX Team members and have him make an avatar and a signature for him.
Although it kinda doesn't make sense since SOTW winners mostly have pretty decent skills to make good tags for themselves.
We could just offer them 2 options.. SOTW Winner tag or a PSD pack...
this sounds fun il enter where do we sign up
@Doc, when is the next SOTW?
Sooo, is this still going to be a thing? Because frankly, this section is dead beyond belief...
It'd be nice to bring back SOTW.
But who other than me wants to bring it back and also who would want to host it?
...that's beyond me.

Social Security
Social Security has been our nation's most successful domestic program, protecting millions of Americans from poverty due to old age, death and disability. Since its inception in 1935, Social Security has guaranteed a life-long, inflation-protected defined benefit that families can rely on. The task before us now is to ensure the long-term health of the Social Security program.
I think it is essential that the Administration and Congress take the necessary steps to secure the solvency of this important program for current and future retirees. As we review the options for strengthening Social Security, it is important that we acknowledge the advantages that are built into the existing system. Social Security benefits are progressive, recognizing that workers with low earnings or women who take time out of the workforce, have little opportunity to save. In addition, Social Security is almost completely universal, offering workers a nearly perfect portable pension. Finally, monthly Social Security benefits are dependable and protected by law.
Recent proposals to move to private accounts would substitute Social Security's long-standing promise of guaranteed, lifetime, inflation-protected benefits for benefits that would be tied to the fluctuations of the stock market. There are several key reasons why replacing Social Security with a privatized system would be harmful for Americans. First, privatization leaves retirees vulnerable to stock market fluctuations or poor individual investment decisions. Second, the current Social Security system is progressive and assists women and families by indexing benefits to those who earn less. Women especially would be disadvantaged by a privatized system because they would have lower annual account deposits and would likely lose the advantage of spousal benefits. Third, fully one-third of payroll taxes are used to cover disabled workers and survivors. It is uncertain how the federal government could afford to pay these benefits if a percentage of the payroll tax is diverted into individual accounts. Finally, the projected cost of changing to a privatized system while continuing to pay current benefits is estimated to be several trillion dollars in just the first decade, an unfunded liability that we can not afford.
Aging Issues
As Americans are living longer and the baby boomers approach retirement, there are some very important issues facing American seniors. I have developed a robust and proactive agenda to help address many of the needs of seniors in New York and across the nation.
Senate Special Committee on Aging
The Senate Aging Committee, to which I was appointed in the 109th Congress, has a strong history of calling the Congress' and the nation's attention to issues affecting older Americans. The Committee continually reviews Medicare's performance and also regularly reviews pension coverage and employment opportunities for older Americans. It has conducted oversight of major programs like Social Security and the Older Americans Act and has crusaded against fraud targeting the elderly and Federal programs on which the elderly depend.
Mental Health and Aging
Although most older adults enjoy good mental health, nearly 20 percent of Americans age 55 or older experience a mental disorder. It is anticipated that the number of seniors with mental and behavioral health problems will almost quadruple, from 4 million in 1970 to 15 million in 2030. As a means of addressing mental health issues in seniors, I am a proud sponsor of the Positive Aging Act along with Senator Collins (R-ME) and Representatives Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). This legislation is designed to make mental health services for older adults an integral part of primary care services in community settings and to extend them to other settings where seniors reside and receive services. The bill would provide competitive grants to interdisciplinary teams of mental health professionals working in collaboration with primary care to identify and treat mental health disorders in seniors.
Caregiving issues touch the lives of families from all socioeconomic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. Most of us will provide care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aging family member or friend at some point in our lifetime. The role of family caregiver can be personally rewarding, but this labor of love can also result in substantial psychological, physical, and financial hardship. That is why I created the Lifespan Respite Care Act along with Senator John Warner (R-VA). This bill authorizes competitive grants to states to make quality respite care available and accessible to family caregivers, regardless of age or disability. The bill allows grantees to identify, coordinate and build on existing federal, state and community-based respite resources and funding streams. This bill was enacted into law in the 109 th Congress, and I have been working with my colleagues to secure funding for its provisions.
Because many children in our country are being cared for by grandparents and other relatives, I introduced the Kinship Caregiver Support Act with Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) in the 108th Congress. This legislation establishes a Kinship Navigator Program to assists kinship caregivers in navigating their way through existing programs and services; establishes a Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program to provide federal assistance to states for subsidized guardianship programs to better serve the needs of kinship care families; and ensures that relatives are notified when children enter foster care.
Congressional Alzheimer's Task Force
The number of people with Alzheimer's disease has doubled since 1980 and currently 4.5 million people suffer from the disease. In New York State alone, there are almost half a million individuals with Alzheimer's Disease that is robbing millions of Americans of their most precious memories. I am proud to co-chair this bipartisan task force with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and Representatives Edward Markey (D-MA) and Christopher Smith (R-NJ) which educates Congress and the public about the disease, encourages increased research funding, and fosters bipartisan discussion regarding public policies to assist individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and their families.

People with diabetes face a daily and lifelong struggle, but there's promising news. Researchers right here in Miami say they're working on defeating diabetes for good. 7's Lynn Martinez has the story.
WSVN — At age 16, Cyndi Smart knew something wasn't right.
Cyndi Smart, Has Type-1 Diabetes: "I was waking up between five and six times a night. I was so thirsty I couldn't even lick my lips. My tongue was completely dry."
Then came the news that changed her life forever: Cyndi had Type-1 Diabetes.
Cyndi Smart: "I would have to be monitored every single minute of every single day of my life."
Her body doesn't produce insulin, so she had to check her blood sugar every day and give herself insulin shots.
Cyndi Smart: "I was on four shots a day, before every meal and before I went to bed."
She is not alone.
Robert Pearlman, Pres. of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation: "The numbers approach 26 million people, about a third of whom are walking around undiagnosed."
But those with the most severe cases, like Cyndi, also suffer from something called hypoglycemic unawareness.
Robert Pearlman, Pres. of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation: "They're not aware that they're going low in their blood sugars and they pass out. They can't operate a car, they can't hold a job."
She says it became a nightmare.
Cyndi Smart: "It changes your whole life. You have these brief moments of your life that are missing."
But now there's hope at the Diabetes Research Institute, thanks to an experimental procedure called an islet cell transplant.
Dr. Camillo Ricordi, who pioneered the research, says insulin-producing cells are taken from a donor's pancreas and transplanted into the patient.
Dr. Camillo Ricordi, Dir. of the Diabetes Research Institute & Cell Transplant: "The transplant is very simple. It's like a blood transfusion."
The cells are extracted through a Ricordi chamber he invented.
Researchers are hoping it will one day lead to a cure.
Dr. Camillo Ricordi, Dir. of the Diabetes Research Institute & Cell Transplant: "We always work like it could happen within the next three to five years."
Cyndi had the transplant.
She still has diabetes, but it's a lot more manageable.
Now, she can eat what she wants and checks her blood sugar a lot less often.
Cyndi Smart: "I come and go as I please. I know there's not going to be any low sugar, so I have my whole life back."
Lynn Martinez: "Researchers say the problem is, there's a limited number of donor cells available, and there's a long waiting list for the procedure."

When Harvard medical student Alexa Albert conducted a public-health study as the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada, the only state in the union where prostitution is legal, neither she nor the brothel could have predicted the end result. Having worked with homeless prostitutes in Times Square, Albert was intimate with human devastation cause by the sex trade, and curious to see if Nevada's brothels offered a less harmful model for a business that will always be with us. The Mustang Ranch has never before given an outsider such access, but fear of AIDS was hurting the business, and the Ranch was eager to get publicity for its rigorous standards of sexual hygiene. Albert was drawn into the lives of the women of the Mustang Ranch, and what began as a public-health project evolved into something more intimate and ambitious, a six-year study of the brothel ecosystem, its lessons and significance.
The women of the Mustang Ranch poured their stories out to Albert: how they came to be there, their surprisingly deep sense of craft and vocation, how they reconciled their profession with life on the outside. Dr. Albert went as far into this world as it is possible to go — some will say too far — including sitting in on sessions with customers, and the result is a book that puts an unforgettable face on America's maligned and caricatured subculture.
Perhaps the most prominent legal brothel in Nevada, Mustang Ranch held mythical status in contemporary Western culture until it was shut down on racketeering charges in 1999. As a medical student, Albert was granted rare access to this intensely private world in order to conduct a study on condom use, and lived periodically at Mustang Ranch from 1993 to 1999. Her routine study soon deepened in tandem with her curiosity about the politics of prostitution and about the prostitutes themselves. In this straightforward account, she details the brothel regimen (from the women's relative captivity to what happens during various "parties") and explores the private lives of the women who work there, as well as those of the "johns" and the workers who service the Ranch. Yet the heart of the book lies in Albert's exploration of the sense of family that thrives in the brothel with all the fractious infighting, competition and camaraderie inherent in any community. Her short history of the legalization of prostitution in Nevada revolves around Joe and Sally Conforte who officially owned Mustang Ranch until charges of tax evasion forced Joe into hiding in South America in 1990 while illuminating the confluence of public opinion and economic forces that spurred legalization. Acknowledging her own feelings (which range from disgust to profound respect), Albert convincingly dispels myths about this mysterious world and provides a strong defense for the legalization of prostitution.
