Latest Updates
If there's one group of people who should understand what it takes to achieve political goals, I hope it's the political scientists. POLITICO reports:
Political scientists are about to test some of their research in the field. The American Political Science Association has hired Barbara Kennelly Associates and Maria Freese. The association will lobby on "appropriations for State, Justice, Commerce — to eliminate restrictions on political science funding through the National Science Foundation."
Apologies for this, but the tech people here at the Daily Beast are up to something:
Relax guys, it'll be back. We have had to turn off comments for the time being while we try to roll out a new user management system. The length of this outage is not yet determined, but we hope it will be at most until tomorrow morning. Thanks for your patience.
Down With the Soviet-Style Dairy Program
I agree with John Boehner: the dairy program in the farm bill is "Soviet-style." Therefore, it's a huge disappointment that a bipartisan effort to streamline the program just failed in the House of Representatives:
An amendment to gut the dairy program sponsored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) was defeated on a 20 to 26 vote. ...
Goodlatte argued that dairy should have access to margin insurance without a requirement that farmers participate in a program to limit production. He cited the opposition of House GOP leaders to the dairy program as being a reason the farm bill effort failed last year and an extension of the 2008 farm bill was needed.
With much love for the fine folk who work in the dairy industry, you're all basically a bunch of communists. Seriously, read this paragraph from a letter the dairy lobby sent to Congress:
We're Pretty Bad at Securing the Border
The Washington Post's Brad Plumer recaps a report on border enforcement:
The best outside estimate is that the U.S. government now stops about half of all illegal border-crossings from Mexico. The apprehension rate appears to have increased in recent years as a result of stepped-up border security:
"Based on the best currently available evidence," the report says, "the apprehension rate along the southwest land border between the ports of entry is likely in the range of 40 to 55 percent."
That's an improvement, but there's a long ways to go.
I'm working on a little less than all cylinders this week, but I don't want to overlook an important piece by Derek Thompson in The Atlantic. Thompson contrasted the decisive and effective government response to the financial crisis of 2008 to the weak and exhausted response to the unemployment problem.
You might begin this story in 2011, when Congress (led by Republican obstructionism) embarked on a historic quest to crush deficit spending by any means necessary. Hold the economy hostage over the debt ceiling? Check. Kill the American Jobs Act while scheduling a too-awful-to-be-a-real-law sequester? Check. Allow the too-awful-to-be-a-real-law sequester to become a real law? Checkmate.
The deficit fell fast. As unemployment ebbed, the ranks of long-term jobless calcified, creating two separate job markets. One broken market for people out of work for more than six months. And another slowly healing market for everybody else. But the combination of a thermostatic recovery and a deep aversion to stimulus crushed any hope that the long-term unemployed would get the help they needed. Long-term unemployment isn't special just because it's longer; it's special because it's self-perpetuating. Skills atrophy, networks dry up, and employers discriminate, creating a vicious cycle of joblessness that can't be cured by normal economic growth.
There is little question that, in the last two years, Washington has essentially left the long-term unemployed to fend for themselves -- and permanently scarred the labor market.
Last night, the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis was lit to celebrate gay marriage coming to Minnesota. Considering that we were worried back in November about a constitutional referendum to ban gay marriage, this came incredibly fast.
Congratulations to the citizens of Minnesota. Change is here.
Belize Destroys Its Own History
A 2,300 year old temple in Belize is being destroyed so its limestone bricks can be used for raw material in road construction, reports CNN:
Local media in the Central American country of 334,000 people report the temple at the Noh Mul site in northern Belize was largely torn down by backhoes and bulldozers last week.
"This is one of the worst that I have seen in my entire 25 years of archaeology in Belize," John Morris, an archaeologist with the country's Institute of Archaeology, told local channel 7NewsBelize. "We can't salvage what has happened out here -- it is an incredible display of ignorance
Jon Stewart Gets the IRS Scandal Just Right
It's really tough to say "you should be more willling to trust the government" when the government is so effective at being terrible.
I endorse this satirical (I think?) idea from the R Street Institute:
[T]he Making Environmental Offsets for Windpower Act proposes the U.S. Department of Energy require — both as a pre-condition for the citing of new wind turbines, and on an ongoing annual basis — that turbine operators demonstrate they are in compliance with a new offset program designed to remove from the natural environment an even greater threat to birds: namely, free-ranging domestic cats.
According to a September 2012 paper published in Nature Communications by researchers from FWS and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute's Migratory Bird Center, free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.4 to 3.7 billion birds annually, with a mid-range estimate of 2.55 billion birds killed by American cats each year.
I think Josh Marshall has this figured out quite nicely:
Let's assume for the moment that this plays out with some mix of poor judgment and perhaps bias at lower levels of the IRS but no direction from on high that would implicate the administration or top appointees themselves. The nature of this scandal - the government, particularly the IRS singling out and persecuting conservatives - appeals to the heart of the right-wing conspiracy-generating mindset.
If you wanted create a scandal to have maximal appeal to GOP base freakout, this is it. And it has the additional advantage of not creating the same sort of off-putting crazy as hitting other bugaboos beloved by base Republicans. It's not about Obama's ties to the Muslim brotherhood or his foreign birth. It's about taxes, something everyone has an experience with and understands. And it's at least rooted in something that's true. Something really did happen. And it's not good. It shouldn't happen. It even has unexpected knock-on effects like the IRS's supposed connection to the dreaded 'Obamacare'.
That's why you're seeing Mitch McConnell go so full bore on this. He's not particularly well-liked in his state and he's not particularly well liked by Tea Parties or base Republicans. But now he can bang the drum on something that appeals deeply to these folks. He can now be with them cheek and jowl. And that is a very, very big deal. As can basically every other national Republican elected official. And again, all of this applies even if, as I assume, we learn that none of this stemmed from political hanky-panky from administration leaders.
If an eagle dies because of a power line or in any way related to oil production, huge fines are on the way, but the same can't be said when an eagle is killed by a windmill.
The Washington Post reports on the White House's willingness to put wind power above the law:
Killing these iconic birds is not just an irreplaceable loss for a vulnerable species. It's also a federal crime, a charge that the Obama administration has used to prosecute oil companies when birds drown in their waste pits, and power companies when birds are electrocuted by their power lines.
But the administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind-energy company, even those that flout the law repeatedly. Instead, the government is shielding the industry from liability and helping keep the scope of the deaths secret.
Ronald Reagan Makes BuzzFeed
How to Deal With Trolls
Eli Lake offers up some tips on responding to trolls:
[H]ere is what works. Retweet the hater's tweet, appending the phrase "I love your passion," or some variation. This may seem counterintuitive. After all, the hater has just insulted you and you respond with a compliment. But "I love your passion" is no compliment at all. It's what you hear from someone who is about to disappoint you. It's what you hear when you don't get the job.
And here's how not to deal with haters:
Kevin Drum writes for Mother Jones that we'll be in a robot paradise by 2040:
We've moved from computers with a trillionth of the power of a human brain to computers with a billionth of the power. Then a millionth. And now a thousandth. Along the way, computers progressed from ballistics to accounting to word processing to speech recognition, and none of that really seemed like progress toward artificial intelligence. That's because even a thousandth of the power of a human brain is—let's be honest—a bit of a joke. Sure, it's a billion times more than the first computer had, but it's still not much more than the computing power of a hamster.

CONCORD — A Manchester woman convicted of lying about her actions during the 1994 Rwandan genocide to obtain U.S. citizenship was sentenced Monday to 10 years in federal prison — the maximum. U.S. District Court Judge Steven J. McAuliffe also sentenced Beatrice Munyenyezi to three years of supervised release. Her U.S. citizenship was revoked after a federal jury convicted her in February. Munyenyezi came to the United States as a refugee in 1998, moved to Manchester in 2002 and became a citizen in 2003. McAuliffe said Munyenyezi, 43, was "not a mere spectator" at the genocide. Although she has led a very different life in the United States, he said, Munyenyezi "stole it from someone who was a victim." He said she is not being held accountable for genocide, but for lying about her participation in it to obtain refugee status and later citizenship. The prosecutors said Munyenyezi ordered rapes and killings of minority Tutsis at a roadblock outside a hotel that her husband's family owned in the province of Butare. Her husband and mother-in-law were convicted by a United Nations International Tribunal in Tanzania and are serving life sentences. Her sister, Prudence Katengwa, who was brought to the U.S. by Munyenyezi, was convicted last year of lying in her immigration proceedings. Munyenyezi's defense team had sought a sentence of no more than one year. But after the sentencing, attended by her twin teenage daughters, defense attorney David Ruoff said the 10-year sentence "has a silver lining." He said it keeps her in America, which enables her to have access to her children, including an older daughter. Although Munyenyezi appeared to be weeping at one point during the sentencing, she was able to manage a smile for her twin daughters before being led away. Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty, who argued for the maximum sentence, argued that Munyenyezi participated in the genocide, identifying people who "were killed because of her." Chakravarty said she did not give due process to people during the genocide, but she has benefited from due process here. He said the prosecution knew it was going to be a challenging case. But, he said, "Tolerating genocide is not an option." Munyenyezi's daughters politely declined comment as they left the courthouse Monday, but her brother was eager to defend his sister and criticize both judge and prosecution. Munyenyezi's brother, Jean-Marie Higiro, a communications professor at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass., said he is a Hutu who fled Rwanda. He said he was assisted by the U.S. because he has a daughter who was born while he was a student here. He said he was offended by the judge's comments, saying he had Hutu friends who fought the genocide and died as a result; he accused the judge of condemning all Hutus because of what happened. Munyenyezi's first trial ended in a mistrial in 2012 after the jury deadlocked. The case will be appealed to the First Circuit Court in Boston, Ruoff said. firstname.lastname@example.com

Wow ... a familiar, awful déjà vu!
One week into this challenge and I haven't even gotten off the ground. Feel like its failed even before I began! The start date was this past Aug 27th ... And what have I done? NOTHING. The first day or two I did okay with my meals ... not ideal, but ok. And then kaput, not even sure why. A temptation here and there, busy at work and too tired to even drag myself to the gym.
When I say "déjà vu", it means I've done this time and again -started this challenge SO many times before and always seemed to get sidelined by an injury ... or illness ... or simply just "messed up" too many days with indulgences or lack of exercise I just gave up. Seems like it's happening again. Many have said well, you just Ned to "set your mind to it" or it's a "matter of willpower". So maybe that's it -lack of those things ... Or not wanting it bad enough? But I DO - have been steadily going downhill over the years. Feel like it will be too little too late. Help.
What are the top 3 things derailing your challenge?
It's never too late; what's the alternative?
No-one here will be able to help you until you have decided that YOU are important enough to help yourself. I really hope you will find the reasons you need to to make your health a priority. God Bless.
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
A failure isn't a failure if a lesson is learned!! Identify what obstacles cause you to go off course and fix that. We all stumble daily, but those who succeed get back up, dust themselves off, and continue on the path. It is a constant learning experience that will continually change. Planning is the key. It is not easy but you will figure it out if you truly want the changes. We can all tell you how great it feels when you look back at what you have accomplished. Good luck.
Here's the deal.....10 years ago I did 3 challenges, lost 50 pounds and kept it off the BFL way for 2 years. Life happened and I fell into depression and stopped working out and stopped eating clean. Voila....weight went right back on.....for 8 years!!! I restarted time and time again and just couldn't stick with it AND I would get pissed when people said "just put your mind to it"......BUT, I finally went back to the book re-read EVERY WORD and in the chapter about crossing the abyss I took it to heart...and stopped there for a while. I wrote in a journal about my struggles and what I thought then, think now and why i want to do this. I spent a week in that chapter really identifying my feelings, identifying my goals and realizing for myself why I couldn't stay on plan. For me it was the depression got he best of me and I was very self destructive through that period...I also realized that I just didn't care about ME anymore.....And I cried and cried and cried that week. But when it was done...I found my strength, got my goals straightened out and realized that is WAS me that needed to get my head in the "game". Those first few weeks of hard workouts almost killed me (I'm no spring chicken) but I persisted....Now, I feel like i have been lifted out of hell....literally!
I truly encourage you to please re-read that chapter, do the "homework" and take your time. When you are really ready, you will know. THEN plan the hell out of every meal for a while until you feel your back in control. and push yourself through those very tough fist weeks....
You'll get there! I can here the desire in your post....now you just need action and that's all about your "head"......the alternative is an abyss you DONT want to stay in. ANY positive life change is better than doing nothing.
Good luck!
Congrats Shellbells!
I too did BFL some time ago and gradually let life get in the way. The past couple of years I have been stuck in a bad place and not seeming to see a way out including getting back to a healthy weight. I re-read the whole body for life book just last week and for some reason it finally spoke to me. I started my challenge on Sep 4 and am taking it one day at a time. You are so right, any step in the right direction is better than doing nothing.
I believe that for everyone there is the TIME and my TIME is now. From what you have written I believe that your TIME is now too!
Best of luck! ....... Actually luck has nothing to do with it, so Best of You!
If you look at the whole program and how much there is to do and how far we all want to get and how much effort it will take and how little we notice the change...it can be overwhelming. HOWEVER, if one choses to just do what is in front of them for that DAY only, it is totally manageable! And when one starts putting one day after another of doing this, it "suddenly" becomes ones way of living- it is not a diet, it is just the way one lives.
Give yourself a break- just do this for today and let the rest of the days in the future rest until they are actually the present.
Thanks Sandylm!
I am so happy for you that it spoke to you the way it spoke to me! Dont you just feel so releived that it finally "clicked" again?
You are in a good place!
I hope you do AMAZING things!!!
I too have struggled, depression hit hard and nearly destroyed my life and those around me. I finally received medical help - step 1. Found my voice - step 2. Now I am on step 3 - get me back by exercising and eating cleaner than I have since, well... ever. I love what BobbyA said. Truly the best way to be successful with this or any healthy lifestyle is to focus on one day at a time. I make out what meal I plan to have x 6 meals, then I prep them. I do not deviate. I do the workout exactly like the book says (it is an exercise routine that does not take up a lot of my day). And most importantly, I do not let myself get overwhelmed about where I want to be at the end of the 12 weeks or my final goal. I just make the current day the focus. One day at a time. Good luck!
The important thing is not how uou start but how you end. Just keep at it. Please do not give up
Hmm... there seems to be a LOT of starts, but no ending :-/ I know I can't give up because things will only continue to go downhill/ get worse ... thank you so much for the support & kind words :-)
I guess that is one of the keys to success ... just focusing on a day at a time. The whole picture itself looks overwhelming sometimes. And I know I have to follow things exactly ... no deviation, careful planning and do my workouts. Thank you :-)
You are so right ... the plan in whole looks overwhelming sometimes and I just need to focus one day at a time. And I know I can't look at it like a "diet" ... like the book, says - is a life plan/ lifestyle change. Thank you for the encouragement :-)
I know ... the time is now since that is something there seems to always be LITTLE of and something that goes by so fast! I know it's not luck ... just determination, perseverance and plain old hard work, right? Thank you! :-)
I know ... the time is now ... time is what seems to be LITTLE of nowadays and the one thing that goes by so quickly. And I know it's not luck ... just determination, perseverance & plain old hard work, right? :-) Thank you kindly!

My friend Chester and I brought this 55 Chevy back from the bone yard. It took us 2 years and I have been driving it now since 1996. I enjoy watching young people being amazed that the tube AM radio has to warm up before it comes on - and remember the vacuum windshield wipers? Don't go up a hill when it is raining!
I really enjoy cruising in my 55 Chevy

thanks NR, it is a great shows probably one of the best elvis shows on CD, despite the year 1975...2 years before he's gone.
some of Elvis' best shows came out of 74-75. My favourite live year is 1970..but 1974 comes oh so close.Originally Posted by buttonhead
Elvis was great throughout the years live...and yes that includes 76 and 77.....ok the performances did tend to be more up and down in the last two years....but there are still fantastic shows to be found.
1974 was an exceptional year..all but towards the end of the year thats when you could see what could, and eventually did happen to the greatest entertainer the world would ever see.
1975 seemed more consistant...if less outstanding...but the 'Just Pretend' show remains one of the best ( well, one of my favourites anyhow )
TCB Chris.
Yesterday was Elvis Day in my house Alot of Elvis' music !
Pot Luck, The Nashville Marathon, Today, With a Song in my Heart, The Man in White vol 2, The Hampton concert, Adios the final performance, R-rated Elvis, Command Performance, Lost Treasures, Elvis' 66 back in Nashville, So High............
'My music is why I was put on this earth' Elvis Presley
Elvis from Russia
"Just pretend, i?m holdin? youuu..."
I love that one!
"Until we meet again, God bless you and Adios."
I found two great CDs at a Flea market (garage sale) "SUN Rockabillies Vol 1 & 2" ....man some great music ! Some of the music never got out because ole Sam Phillips allegedly was a "mean Mr Mistreater !"
Also played a lot of Blues - and a sprinkling of Elvis: Platinum Disc 4 and my compilations !
Today it's been the Jungle Room Sessions FTD for me. That CD was such a revelation when it came out, but it's no less of a treat to me today. The clarity is so striking, and it seems to me that other recent releases with Jungle Room material don't have the same warmth and ambience heard on that disc. Elvis's vocals sound even better, and nearly equally as pleasing is the sound of the core band. It's not just the fact that you can hear them--that they are not drowned out by the horns and strings, but what they were actually playing was just so darn good. Really some beautiful work had been covered up for so long. (I know these are different takes, but you get my point.) You really notice it on some of the opening notes. These takes just really give them a whole new life; they are more effective, and seem to hit home a little better. Listen to the beginnings of songs like Love Coming Down, The Last Farewell, It's Easy For You, Never Again--whew! I mean the songs are great all the way through, but I guess you notice the difference so much more in the beginnings because Elvis is not singing yet and because they made for awesome, new, first impressions.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Glad to hear it, Ron. Everyone else should do the same.

For me today is "From the vaults, vol 1"
I can't decide if I like it or not , but my neighbors decided: They hate it!

One would need to know where and how the lavatory is attached to the system to say for sure. Many areas allow the WC to be vented through the lav.
Hey Folks-
Great Forum. This weekend I went to move a 2nd floor toilet 6 ft from existing spot to create an alcove for it. I opened up some of the first floor ceiling to see what I was up against. Below is what I found. Toilet is direct to 3" soil stack. The tub and shower have branch drains to the 3" soil stack which runs down the front wall of the house. Tub and shower are vented to vent stack at back corner of house. First question is, am I missing a vent for the toilet? If so, any ideas how to easily fix this?

One would need to know where and how the lavatory is attached to the system to say for sure. Many areas allow the WC to be vented through the lav.
Thank you cacher. The 3" waste pipe starts at the 2nd floor toilet via two 45 degree angles from the toilet, then travels 8 ft horizontally, then 90 degree turn and straight down to the slab. If the Shower and tub branch drains didn't connect to the 3" waste pipe during the horizontal run, it would be a dedicated waste pipe for the toilet only. Nothing else hooks into it below or above it. Seems like the branch waste drain is the only vent for the toilet.
As you have drawn it, the toilet line can pull air through the tub and shower vents, but this is not a proper vent for the toilet.
Thanks Cacher. I misspoke. After a few more openings in the ceiling one of the branches is not from the shower but the sink. So it looks like the attached. I think this is OK but not great. If I move the toilet drain to the other side of the 3" soil stack but within 3ft of the branch drain/vent am I still OK?
I don't see much wrong with your latest drawing, seems common to me.
What you have now drawn is what I would have expected to see.
Not clear on where the toilet is being moved to, but it has to be upstream of the 2" coming off the lav or your vent will be broken.
As long as the "vent" is being "washed" by the lav or shower/tub the orientation of the toilet is immaterial. "Moving the toilet 6 feet" however COULD be a problem.
Thanks Everyone. I wasn't as clear as I should have been. In that last drawing, I wanted to move the toilet to 3 ft on the other side of where that branch drain comes in. If that causes a vent issue, I guess I could move the toilet and the extend that branch drain a few more feet to come in down stream of the toilet. Would that work better?
Last edited by jbg; 01-26-2011 at 11:57 AM.
You need to find out what the maximum allowed distance is between the WC and it's vent.
Should not have any 3" upstream of the WC. The tub and/or lav will not be able to clean the 3" line.
I'll look to see if I can move the branch downstream of the WC. Thank you very much for you help on this
Ah. Great. That makes my life a lot easier. I really appreciate the help.
Must know the total distance of the NEW 2" pipe, and its fall (drop, slope).
Even if you do everything as said above, you can still cause a big problem. Best is to hire a Master Plumber. Next best is to leave it as is. Worst is to build something new, based upon a little bit of internet learning. If you want to go ahead and move the pipes around, you still need to answer the question in my first sentence, and a few other questions. Posting a very accurate drawing is best. Next best is posting a drawing showing distances.

Sturdy Trolley for Multiple Uses
By Laura
from MI
About Me Meticulous Cleaner
Comments about Laundry Trolley:
This is much more than a laundry trolley. Should be called a All Purpose Home Trolley. Great for moving books, groceries, bulky items.... especially if you have hand/finger dexterity issues, and/or lifting/back issues. So ideal to move many things around your home. So ergonomically correct with height of "handle-bar" and pushes without any effort.Strong wheels leave no marks on hardwood floors. I don't even use mine for laundry because I purchased the Rolling Laundry Cart from Carol Wright and found this one to be exceptional for so many other around-the-home uses. It's so lightweight I can fold it can carry down the basement stairs and move things around there. If you have trouble lifting and carring items, this is for you. This trolley adds independence for those who live alone and may struggle with activities. Great find!! Love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Casual Cleaner
I use it for transporting laundry from one room to the laundry room. Would have prefered if it had its own solid platform to set the laundry basket on and would prefer a higher handle. Overall I do like it, it is easy to roll.
Great laundry helper

also great for moving objects from room to room when you have a weak back.
Great idea
By PeeWee
from Lincoln, NE
Been looking for a laundry cart. This is a great idea. I`m disabled and can`t do any lifting. This cart makes it so much easier to move things from one place to another. I bought cart first and then bought a tug to fit the cart.

Brit leads Tigers recovery against Blues
The Tasmanian Tigers recovered from losing two early wickets to set the Speedblitz Blues a run chase of 153 at Stadium Australia in Sydney.
Having won the toss the Tigers lost Jonathan Wells (18) and Rhett Lockyear (7) in the space of just 3 deliveries in the 4th over thanks to 17 years old Pat Cummins who struck twice on debut.
Despite the early setback Tigers skipper George Bailey and Travis Brit lead the recovery with a 3rd wicket stand of 54 as the visitors took control of the game.
With the pair settled at the crease Blues skipper Stuart Clarke brought Moises Henriques into the attack in the 10th over as the home side searched for a breakthrough.
Henriques; whos been expensive throughout this years Big Bash took just 3 deliveries to break the partnership after Bailey (27) was caught by David Warner out on the long on boundary.
With Bailey gone Brit was now joined at the crease by Dutch import Ryan ten Doeschate and the pair added a quick fire 49 from just 5 overs before ten Doeschate was dismissed by Henriques to leave the Tigers 130-4.
Brit (47) quickly followed after he became Cummins (3-29) third wicket of the night as the 17 year olds amazing debut continued for the Blues.
With Brit gone Jason Krejza (8) offered little resistants before Mark Cosgrove (8) and Naved-ul-Hasan (4) added 6 runs during a last over partnership to help increase the Tigers total to 152-6.

I understand not loving Rivers, but anyone denying that he is improving, significantly so, as he plays is just set in stone against the kid. He's consistently making leaps and bounds from game to game. Perhaps not as big of a project as we thought.
The Clippers were fourth in the NBA averaging 17.2 fastbreak points per game. We held them to only 8 tonight.
Anderson has already hit 46 3 point shots this season. He is going to absolutely demolish his career best.
I'm definitely going to watch the replay now.

D-backs looking at Brandon McCarthy to bolster rotation
Combined with proven pitchers Ian Kennedy and Trevor Cahill, manager Kirk Gibson has plenty of options when filling out his rotation this spring.
But despite the depth, general manager Kevin Towers has made it known throughout the offseason that the team -- who will likely be without Daniel Hudson until after the All-Star break -- is still interested in acquiring a top-of-the-rotation starter.
While the wheeling and dealing for Towers and Co. won't officially get under way until Monday at the MLB Winter Meetings inside Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, the team already has its sights set on at least one pitcher.
Sources say Dbacks have expressed interest in free-agent RHP Brandon McCarthy, whom they also pursued as a free agent two years ago.— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) December 1, 2012
Back in 2010, the Diamondbacks were one of a handful of teams interested in McCarthy's services, but the right-hander signed a two-year deal at the time with the Oakland Athletics.
Now on the free agent market for the second time in his seven-year career, Arizona has even more reason to pursue McCarthy.
While he has a career 37-39 record with a 4.02 ERA, McCarthy really came into his own in Oakland as a starter. After adding two new pitches to his repertoire in 2011, McCarthy recorded nine wins and an ERA of 3.32 in over 170 innings of work. In addition, he threw five complete games in 25 starts.
During the Athletics' improbable run to the postseason in 2012, McCarthy anchored Oakland's staff for much of the season, going 8-6 with a 3.24 ERA and 73 strikeouts.
Unfortunately, McCarthy's season was cut short on September 5, when a line drive off the bat off Angels infielder Erick Aybar struck the A's pitcher in the head. McCarthy suffered an epidural hemorrhage, a brain contusion, and a skull fracture. He required emergency surgery to reduce cranial pressure in his brain.
While McCarthy did not pitch for the Athletics during their divisional round series against the Detroit Tigers, he was able to return to the dugout and was cleared to continue baseball activities earlier this month.

Does anyone have a update of the progress of putting up KCPQ 13 on 22 actual in Seattle? I and others I assume, that are either in the Gold Mountain shadow or wrong direction, do appreciate being able to see KCPQ content on 22.2 logical but the SD picture quality is starting to get old. It amazes me that KZJO sends mostly SD content on the 22.1 HD channel and transmits the Fox mostly HD content on the 22.2 SD channel. With the start of the NASCAR season I was hoping to watch it in HD.

Classic Cars as daily drivers
andre1969 Posts: 21,601I wouldn't consider a '64 Chevelle to be a particularly dangerous car, but it's nowhere near as safe as what's out there today. They only had lap belts, no shoulder belts. And I think belts for the back seat were still optional. I don't know anything about infant seats, but don't you need seatbelts for the car seat to anchor to?
If he gets a 2-door hardtop or 2-door sedan, which are more valuable than the 4-door, getting a car seat into the back could be a bit of a challenge, anyway.
Also, these cars just had single master cylinders, seats without headrests, very little useful padding on the dashboards, and steering columns that did not collapse.
I'd suggest something a little later, like 1968. By that time, they had collapsible steering columns, shoulder belts up front, dual master cylinders, and interiors that were much more impact-friendly in a crash.
I guess if he has his heart set on a '64 though, some of the stuff like a dual master cylinder and shoulder belts could be retrofitted?
Putting 250 miles per week on the car is definitely going to hurt its value, unless he buys a high-mileage car to begin with, and then he's going to run into reliability issues. And being a 40+ year old car, it WILL break down on occasion, no matter how well it's been taken care of! How mechanically inclined is your husband?
A car like this could be reliable enough if it was in good shape to begin with, but I agree with those posters who would retrofit a dual master cylinder and better seat belts.
As for putting on miles--only if it was a very low miles original car, would this matter. These odometers turn back to zero anyway at 99,000, so people rarely know what the real mileage is on 50 year old cars anyway. Not an issue IMO unless it is documented low mileage, and VERY low mileage at that.
As for safety, no car is safe, but a back seat is a lot safer than a front one. Most of us alive here right now grew up without car seats and air bags.
So yeah, go for it if you can do the retrofits and if he drives sensibly. Even front disk brake conversion would be a good idea (if the car has power brakes already).
Also gas mileage is gonna hurt if gas goes back up to $4 gal.
lokki Posts: 1,200I think that besides the upgrades to the brakes and the belts - if he's really going to do any serious commuting in it, he'd be well served to dump a little money in it up front before he goes road warrioring in it.
Repairs that are done up front on a scheduled basis are cheaper and a lot (read LOT) less hassle in the long run. When it comes to car maintenance, my whole goal in life is to try to do things on MY schedule. I hate surprises.
I'm thinking core the radiator, change the water pump and do all the belts and hoses. Perhaps do the ball joints and redo the brakes while the car is down. A new battery is just about mandatory.
The idea is to cover all the common stuff that might drop the car off the road unexpectedly and fix em before they happen.
There's nothing worse than being 48 miles from home after work on a Monday evening and blowing a radiator hose. WalMart just doesn't stock radiator hoses for a 64 Chevy any more so there's no quick easy fix. So you get a roll of duct tape and a couple gallon jugs of water. Now you have to limp home AND THEN you have to figure out how to get to work on time Tuesday morning.
This kind of thing isn't about having 1964 - it would be true with any car older than about 1995 if you're looking at 250 miles a week.
You two will spend a lot more happy family time together if you do it this way.
He'll still be out in the garage, but it won't be at midnight on a Wednesday and you won't be shouting at each other
You don't need to ask me how I learned these things, but I have vivid memories of being in my apartment parking lot at sundown with the hood open, tools scattered everywhere, and my beloved asking "Aren't you done YET?"
bumpy Posts: 4,435is to have a full-blowm mechanical restoration done if he wants to drive it 50 miles every day (assuming that hasn't been done already). It doesn't have to be pretty, but all the suspension bits and bearings should be renewed, upgrade the brakes to front discs and dual MC, refresh the rear axle and transmission, carefully look over all the wiring plus the starter and alternator, clean out the gas tank, check over the carburetor and all the linkages, and make sure the metal and rubber fuel and brake lines are good.
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,305Safety is a relative value. It wouldn't be any safer today than it was when it was new.
Reliability is also a relative value, but IMO more important when driving 50 miles round trip to work.
Economy is relative, but considering where the price of fuel is going, perhaps a much younger economy car should previal. The money saved in running the ecocar could be applied to purchasing "the toy" further down the line.
He will always be able to buy a used car, but will never get another chance to spend time with his real baby. The little one needs his attention now a lot more than the old car at the curb.
In thinking about a classic car for a daily driver, which of these would be requirements and which are just nice to have? Are there any other things that I haven't thought of that would be necessary for a daily driver?
Rear seatbelts
Front lap belts
Front shoulder seatbelts
Rear shoulder seatbelts
Fuel injection
power steering
power brakes
disc brakes
front driver airbag
passenger frontal airbag
side airbags
Going 0-60 in 15 seconds or less
Rear windshield defogger
garv214 Posts: 162Well, if you really want ABS and airbags, your classic car will be at most an early-mid 1990's vintage.
It would be helpful if you further defined what your typical "daily driving" consists of. Also, what cars/era catches your fancy? Are you mechanically-handy or a checkbook mechanic (like me... =) ).
You might look into a nice 94-96 C4 corvette (unless you need a back seat). They are quite the bang-for-the-buck car, and you can find many low mileage examples...
I'd say for daily driving on mixed city streets and modern freeways, you'd want the following for SURE:
Front lap belts --must have
rear seat belts -- not really--the front passengers become the air bags for the rear passengers...
Front shoulder seatbelts -- nice to have if possible--hard to retrofit.
Fuel injection -- if you are driving climate extremes of heat and cold, FI is nice to have. Fuel injection is "smart", carburetors are "stupid".
power steering -- not for a 2- seater, but it's hell without it on a 50s or 60s full size car.
power brakes -- depends on the car really.
disc brakes -- if they can be retrofitted as "bolt-on kits", I'd do it. Why? Because modern cars stop too quickly for old creaky classics to be following them.
front driver airbag -- if you have lap and shoulder belts, this is optional. Besides, on cars more than 15 years old, who knows if the airbag will even work anymore?
passenger frontal airbag -- ask your passenger.
side airbags -- NAH
Going 0-60 in 15 seconds or less -- 15 seconds would be about my tolerance level. Why? Because on modern freeway, if you can't get out of the right lane to avoid a blockage, you might end up stuck there for a long time in a slow car.
Rear windshield defogger --NAH--they don't work very well anyway unless there's frost or snow on them.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still considering what classic car(s) might work for me. Since I live in southern Louisiana, I'm guessing that would qualify for extreme heat. I'm partial to the styling of early 50s cars, but in reading some of the threads today the steering definitely became a discussion point.
Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out how old of a car I should realistically start looking at. And it's not that I need ABS or airbags, I just didn't know if car experts felt that they should really be there if one was driving a car daily. And I'm definitely a checkbook mechanic, though I wouldn't mind learning to be more hands-on. Just haven't had the opportunity (or the guts).

In this study of the No Child Left Behind Act system and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) rules for 28 states, we selected 36 real schools that vary by size, achievement, diversity, etc. and determined which ones would or would not make AYP when evaluated under each state's accountability rules. If a school that made AYP in Washington were relocated to Ohio, would it still make AYP?

The Red Tape Report: An Exploratory Study of the Regulatory Interference Faced by School Leaders in Five States
October 02, 2008
Nathan Gray
Matthew Carr
Marc Holley
In public education today, individual schools are accountable under the federal No Child Left Behind Act as well as myriad state and local policy regimens for their students achievement and other vital outcomes. Increasingly, school leaders find their own job tenure and compensation tied to those outcomes as well. But do they possess the authority they need to lead their schools to heightened performance? Numerous surveys (conducted by Public Agenda, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, and others) suggest that many school leaders feel they do not. Thus an important public policy question arises: what factors help or hinder school leaders in exercising their authority and in which areas?

Getting wiser about online datingFrom Match and eharmony, to the ubiquitous Christian Mingle, online dating sites have become the way for singles of all ages and backgrounds to meet in hopes of finding lasting love. Establishing a romantic relationship via the internet has become so fashionable that, according to the latest data, three out of four US singles have tried dating websites. Not only do these services claim to offer a perfect match based on your own unique personality and desired traits, but they also provide a sense of safety and simplicity that may or may not be completely accurate.
I've been cyber-dating for a while and my experience has been somewhat mixed.

Crispy guava-glazed chicken wings minus the caloriesBy Lili's Latin Kitchen | Shine Latina – Wed, Feb 13, 2013 3:53 PM EST
By Liliana Moyano for Shine LatinaRead More »from Crispy guava-glazed chicken wings minus the calories
Guava-glazed chicken wingsBest kept chicken secret: When you bake and glaze chicken wings, they turn out just as delicious as the fried ones but with a fraction of the calories. They cook in their natural oils, getting the benefits of a crunchy skin minus the grease factor. Even better- they're super easy to make! It's a perfect dish for parties, as you'll have no mess to clean up. Let your oven do all the work.
I made this delicious dish glazed with guava and tamarind sauce for my family last weekend. The topping is as simple as boiling guava and tamarind juice in a small pot for 20 minutes. The cooking process turns the juices into a nice, thick sauce. Once done, top the wings with sesame seeds for added crunch and a lovely presentation.
Glaze ingredientsIngredients
1 ½ cups guava nectar
½ cup tamarind nectar
10 chicken wings, skin on and cleaned
All purpose seasoning
Salt to taste
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

El Día de San Valentín is coming up, and it's time to start thinking about getting together the perfect look for your date night (or snagging that date!). I think the holiday is a great opportunity to experiment with color; you don't have to go over-the-top, instead opt for a subtle, sexy look.

Feliz Dia del Amor y la AmistadThe American version of Valentine's Day, or San Valentín, has evolved into the largest holiday of passionate, sensual love between two people. This love fest, with its cutesy symbols and high expectations, gives lovers the opportunity to shower each other with gifts of flowers, chocolates and sparkly jewelry.
An homage to friends
While most of the world looks forward to this annual homage to red, hot love, Latin Americans take a more platonic approach and celebrate their friends on February 14th. The "Día del amor y la amistad" celebrates friendship; as a result, lovers are not the only ones enjoying roses and candy, as the holiday highlights enduring, life-long relationships that may outlast marriages and engagements.
And while the Day of Love gets celebrated similarly to Valentine's Day in the states, there are also as many variations as there are countries in Spanish-speaking America. Here are some of the most unusual

Chicharrón served with green chile salsa to dip.My papito was a professional eater and a cooking aficionado, and I take after his genes. When we lived in Colombia, we enjoyed great, cooking parties regularly, but my favorite feasts had little to do with the actual meals. It would start when my mom asked my Dad to get more ice or beer. My father, then, would immediately call my name and ask me to come along; I knew exactly why. On the way to the store, we'd stop at the fritangueria (a place to get fried treats like pork, meat and sausages) and order chicharrón with sausage and green chile salsa. It was all about the fun of having to eat our goodies quickly and get back before my mom got suspicious.
To this day, I am the biggest chicharrón fan, to the point that I learned how to make them and created the best, homemade chile verde dipping sauce to go along with them. It's a super simple recipe with few ingredients, and it makes for the perfect snack or party appetizer.

Stars honor 9/11 while 'Today' talks Kardashians
On the 11th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a number of more famous names joined in the outpouring of tributes for those lost in the attacks that changed all of our lives, "star" or not.
But while singer Michelle Williams, Josh Duhamel, Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Phelps and "Modern Family's" Sarah Hyland shared that they would #neverforget, NBC's "Today" show has been accused of foregoing a moment of silence in order to talk to Kardashian family ringleader Kris Jenner.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, NBC was the sole "big three" broadcast network with a morning show that didn't air a moment of silence in memory of 9/11.
While ABC's "Good Morning America" and CBS' "CBS This Morning" cut into their programming to show live coverage of Manhattan's 9/11 memorial, THR reports, NBC's "Today" aired an interview with Kris Jenner talking about "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and her breast implants.
However, an NBC rep said in a statement to Politico that the network's morning program "dedicated a considerable amount of time to September 11th coverage this morning throughout the entire show."
In a way, Kris acknowledged the anniversary of 9/11 on her Twitter account, as she retweeted a user who informed her: "@KrisJenner make sure you take a moment of silence for our fallen hero's [sic]. Today is about paying respect to those who lost their lives. #9/11."
Meanwhile, Kris's daughter Kim Kardashian posted to her own account a link to a blog item that recalls where she was when the tragedy happened and encourages others to take a moment to reflect.
"We all remember where we were when we heard the news," Kim tweeted with the link."#Remember911."
