Authorities found empty prescription bottles of
methadone at their home. Child welfare officials removed two other children from the home. The 2-year-old's urine tested positive for drugs. The children were placed in their grandparent's care. http://articles.orlandosentinel.

I have been addicted to Roxys a few months shy of 2 years. In
, there is a huge
epidemic, I would compare it to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. There are thousands of pain clinics all over the state of Florida who advertise in newspapers the kind of drugs they give out (Roxy 30 mgs, Xanax 2 mgs, Just bring your MRI!) It's insane how abused the system is here, but even more insane is how the doctors know each and every single thing that they're doing is illegal.

My stomach still has not recovered but I somehow managed to man up
deal with my W/D's at home,
I could not tell my GF or my parents whom I live with at the moment. Not being able to talk to anybody made it more difficult than it had to be. My only advice to anybody would be to read and respond to these posts. It's helping me right now. Of course you will all be in bed for 3-5 days without any hope of feeling better, but you will....eventually. I never thought I would feel better.

Ok well a little about me, I'm brand new to this site and I'm hoping this site is different from some I have found that seem to be full of addicts
not legitimate people with documented chronic pain that really need pain meds. I have severe loer back pain and neck pain and have several xrays and am currently waiting for my ins. to approve a mri. My question is, would anyone have any suggestions on a good pain mgmt doctor in the Sarasota,Venice,North Port or Port Charlotte area?

If you didn't know,
runs rampid in this area, i mean people go to
right to hit up those pain clinics. Anyways, I'm addicted to this horrible drug, and its hell. I mean, even when I'm high off of them, i don't really even enjoy it. I'm just so afraid to detox from it ( i know that sounds stupid, but i've been through many bad dt's ) and of course, even when I am clean -- i crave it more than anything.

But it is my 1st time on Hydrocodone hence my 1st post asking if the wd would be the same as
! I will continue to check-in
share any change's good or bad. Good luck to everyone whether its your 1st day 1st time or not each time I had a surgery I was put back on this track with pain pills. My doctor suggested using Hydro this time instead of Oxy's and wow I think the doctor's should start low on the scale of pain meds!

Fentanyl pain patch 100mch/hr
15mg of
3 times a day. I live in
of course the laws here have gone totally nuts. I was getting my meds from my rheumatologist and all was good with the world. With the law change I was shipped off to pain management. That needless to say has been a total cluster to say the least. I get that in their eyes im using these meds for a saturday night party. Thats the standard dogma. But they treat me like im some scum off the street.

got scared giving me high amounts of
. At first the pain center was not happy with the amounts
try to cut me down only to see it was not helping my pain levels so they back off.. The pain center is now getting political pressure from all sides. The FDA, Whitehouse, and the group "PROP" which is trying to hurt chronic pain patients. I would assume these groups have an influence as they are coming down hard on us chronic pain patients from all avenues.

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knew the differences between
Tylenol w/Codeine?? I know they both have acetomenophen. But, the Tylenol with Codeine has Codeine obviously. I was taking the one with 30mg. of codeine. Now I have Oxycodone 7.5-325. What is the opiad in this drug? Is it also codeine, or a different drug? I know my body's reaction to the T3, so I am a little nervous to try this new one....oxycodone. Is it stronger, not as strong, the same???

My PMP told me that Florida was like McDonald's , sold over 10 billion referring to
. The
30mg are very popular with the out of state Pt's. Although the doctor I use doesn't allow out of state Pt's many do. In my opinion there may be some that really can not find pain management in their state and drive to Florida for legitimate pain but I believe the majority of them are only coming in to buy the pills to sell. This really infuriates me.

Hi, I recently flew out of Newark airport
in the midst of the craziness trying to catch our flight my rx went missing. it was either lost or stolen, and my dr is on vacation till the 17th. there is no one to help me in my usual PM dr office so I need to find one here. I also have no insurance so I need a low priced clinic or something I guess. Please help quickly, running out of my emergency meds that I always carry in my purse.

i dont have a primary care doctor so when i hurt my back i went to an urgent care doc, he orderd the mri
wrote me some meds, 10mg

I have visits every month with the urgent care place, they refill my rxs with no question but they stress to me that they are not pain managment doctors and i should seek one, ive tried google and that only gets me so far.

Hi All, It's been a while since I've been here
today I'm really struggling. I'm addicted to Oxycodone (Roxy's), not as bad as some people but bad enough that I get very sick when I don't have any. I've been checking around some of the Doctors here in my area and they all want anywhere from $800 to $1500 just to see them not including the Suboxone. Okay so like most of us that barely have any money have to struggle with the addiction. and want nothing more to get off of them.

Once your red flagged you will find it very difficult to find a doctor to treat your pain if at all. You must try
make the
last. This medicine is stronger than the Lortab so you should be able to make it last until your next refill. What your doing could also be considered doctor shopping. You need to cancel the Lortab prescription and let your PCP know that you did receive another narcotic prescription from your PMP.

So the first 16 weeks I alternated vicdion then to
(was hospilizaed with placenta previa/bleeding early on)
was also on diluaid shots for pain while in the hospital and for my migraines which I have been cursed with more frequently than usual. So my dr and I talked about the fact I felt the vicidon/oxycodone was not working completely without my other meds and I didn't want to take anything that would hurt the baby and if it wasn't working why bother right?

Vicodin comes in 250mg, 500mg, 750mg, or 1000mg, the strongest. Percodan
are similar. The only difference is that Percodan contains
aspirin. The narcotic painkillers are only addiciting if you take them in large doses or for an extended period of time. Your personalities also play a role in whether or not you will become addicted.

Percocet is a combination of acetominophen (sp?) or tylenol,
. It is a pretty strong narcotic pain reliever - not nearly as strong as Morphine, Demerol, Fentanyl, Dilaudid, etc. - but a big jump from Darvon/Darvocet, or Codiene; and a little stronger than Hydrocodone (as in Vicodin).

In your post you said you'd do the blood in
. Most of my blood was done at a hemotologist's
that was fine. A few weeks ago I was at a Quest location, with a prescription, and asked them if I could just walk in to get a blood test some day(I didn't specify what test). They said that for all blood work, they need a Dr. order or a perscription for it. Guessing it's at least a state-wide requirement (don't really know).

The Terrible Predicament of a Liverpool Fan: Are the Reds Better off losing ?April 26, 2010
Next week is probably not a good time to be a Liverpool fan. Next week is the big match between Liverpool and Chelsea, and while Liverpool are trying to get back into Champions League contention, Chelsea are trying to win the premier league.
Liverpool's bad season can be made better with a victory over the current league leaders, Chelsea. It will send a message to the fans that Liverpool is back to its winning ways. Also it can help save Rafa's job, if the rumors are to be believed, and also make a very strong case for having the owners give plenty of money to Benitez to spend on players. And most importantly, it can help the team in their bid to claim the last Champions League spot.
Besides, there is always something special about beating Chelsea right? They never became big the traditional way (Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United etc). Also, Chelsea are the team that knocked you guys out of the Champions League last year (Ivanovic's double header, remember?).
So now you guys have a chance for a bit of a payback. Or, rewind a bit further to go back to when Chelsea did almost lure your beloved Steven Gerrard to London. A win against Chelsea will sink their hopes of getting a Premier League victory. You guys would love to win this match correct?
Would you? Really?
A victory against Chelsea will effectively hand over the title to...Manchester United!! Remember them? You guys used to be the toast of the town back then. 18 unmatched league titles. All the glitz and pride. Who would have thought any one could over take that?
Sadly, a gum chewing Scottsman took over a downbeat Manchester United team and turned them into your worst enemies. He has currently equalled your number of league titles. His animosity towards Liverpool is a well known. In his own words, he wants to knock Liverpool of its "F***ing Perch." And with another League title this year he could very well knock you guys off that Perch.
And the biggest tragedy? You guys are helping him do it. Yup, a win against Chelsea and Fergie has won his 19th title, eclipsing Liverpool's 18. Oh the agony of victory!
Would you like to knock yourself off your perch, Liverpool? Not a very pleasant thought is it? The ball lies in your "court/turf/field."
So, Liverpool...How would you like to lose?

(Note: You've Got Mail offers e-mails received by Herald staffers.)
The Talking Centipede
A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, which came in a little white box. He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to church with me today? We will have a good time."
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, "How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time. This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn about God?"
This time, a little voice came out of the box, "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes!"

At least two underperforming Denver charter schools could face closure votes and five others could be put on strict probation when the school board meets tonight.
District staff members are recommending the board place the seven charter and contract schools that have had academic problems on two-year probation with specific plans for improvement.
Some board members said they are fed up with the chronic problems at Challenges, Choices and Images and Denver Arts and Technology Academy, which serve a total of 1,030 students. They said they may vote to close them.
Other board members said they are equally frustrated with the lack of progress at Life Skills Center of Denver, an alternative school for chronic dropouts that serves 238 students.
"I've lost my patience with several of those schools," said board member Bruce Hoyt, who would not identify ones he will vote to close.
"Rather than keeping the failing ones alive, it's better for the system as a whole to close the ones that aren't working," he said.
In total, the board will vote tonight to renew contracts of 11 charter and contract schools that serve nearly 3,000 students.
Denver Public Schools staff members are using a new accountability framework that assesses student academic growth over time, attendance, whether the students are ready for college and the school's financial wherewithal.
The staff is recommending five-year renewals for three schools: Denver School of Science and Technology, Academy of Urban Learning and Ace Community Challenge School. It is recommending a three-year renewal for Pioneer Charter School.
Forced closures do not happen often, said Jim Griffin, president of the Colorado League of Charter Schools.
"There is added pressure because Denver has closed mainstream schools because of performance," he said. "That forces their hands on charter decisions."
In the past decade in Colorado, he said, Denver Public Schools voted to close a charter school, Life Skills Center of Denver.
The school's officials appealed to the State Board of Education and Denver's school board reversed its decision, allowing the troubled school to continue under a one-year probation.
However, Life Skills has yet to show significant progress in student achievement, according to the district.
Only half of students attend regularly, and performance falls below targets set under the district's probationary window.
Santiago Lopez, principal of Life Skills, said the school is slowly improving and attendance rates are getting better.
"Where are students going to go?" Lopez asked. "We truly serve those students who are extremely at risk . . . students who haven't succeeded in a traditional setting or alternative setting."
Districts across the nation tend to avoid closing charters because of the possible backlash, said Randy DeHoff, director of the state's Charter School Institute.
"There are some charters that should have been closed several years ago," DeHoff said. "Boards are reluctant to do so for political ramifications."

News Flash: Suede Weren't "Britpop"
In the great British tradition of saying something somewhat ridiculous and controversial in order to generate buzz for your latest project, former Suede frontman Brett Anderson has taken on Britpop calling the '90s movement "horrible" and a "whole boozy, cartoon-like, fake working-class thing" that his band had nothing to do with. This is somewhat contrary to Anderson's appearance on the cover of Brit mag Select while posing in front of a Union Jack/being thrown into said mag's "Battle For Britain"/promoting the band's first album, not to mention the band's inclusion on nearly every Britpop-themed compilation available, but hey, why not. As of today, Suede is, and was, not a Britpop act. Feel free to go back to whatever you were doing. [Guardian]

Eastern Rules was brought with a well-timed run to make a winning handicap debut over 6f here last week but a 10lb rise and longer trip makes this more difficult. Stablemate Night Breeze appeared to be suited by stepping up to 1m3f here last month so this could be on the short side. MRS BATT showed little aptitude for the surface early in her career but she's improved greatly on turf this summer. She should take this as she can return to Polytrack on a 7lb lower mark than turf and looks very well handicapped. Karjera makes her handicap debut and is tackling this trip for the first time.

About Mundelein
Located 34 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, the village of Mundelein was first settled by Potawatomi Native Americans in 1650. The area's original settler, Peter Shaddle, built the first log cabin in Mundelein in 1835, and the village was incorporated in 1865.
Mundelein was originally called several different names, including Mechanics Grove, Holcomb, Rockefeller, and Area. It was officially named Mundelein in 1925 after Cardinal George Mundelein, who opened what remains the largest operating seminary in the United States, St. Mary of the Lake, in 1921.

Climbing Everest is not backpacking. We've yet to have a single dehydrated meal. Quite the contrary, we eat like kings.
Last night at Base Camp the meal began with a steaming hot wash towel, then garlic soup, then pizza and spaghetti and vegetables, then pound cake with frosting, and for those who so desired, a nip of Scotch. Breakfast this morning was fried eggs and toast or pancakes smothered in fresh butter or peanut butter or syrup, or a selection of jams and honeys. Lunch was potatoes with pine nuts, freshly fried bread with cheese, corn, cabbage salad, and sardines. We're just about to have our mid-afternoon "picata," which consists of sliced Italian salami and French cheese on crackers, plus tuna or salmon, and a soda.
At Base Camp and Camp 2, Sherpas do all the cooking. At Camp 1 and Camp 3, you cook for yourself, but the food—often fresh dal baht (rice and lentils) or fried potatoes—is still transported in by the Sherpas. It's really only at Camp 4, on the summit push, for at most two days, where dehydrated food is eaten, or simply ignored. At most camps, snack foods of all kinds—yogurt-covered raisins, almonds, peanuts, cashews, gummy bears, crackers, Pringles chips (everyone's favorite!), gorp, M&Ms, on and on—are available 24/7. At BC, we have every drink imaginable: coffee, black tea, milk tea, herbal tea, protein powders, electrolyte powders, chocolate powders, milk powders, Coke, Sprite, Fanta, San Miguel beer, and your choice of Scotch: single malt or blended.
It might seem excessive, but the goal is to keep climbers and Sherpas eating and drinking as much as possible for as long as possible. Extreme exercise, bad sleep, and high altitude inevitably tear the body down, and above 20,000 feet (6,096 meters), there's no possibility for recovery.
A climber simply becomes weaker and weaker. Above 23,000 feet (7,010 meters), many people lose their appetite completely, whereupon the body begins feasting on itself, rapidly consuming both muscle and fat. Call it the Everest Diet: Eat everything in sight, eat as much as you possibly can at all times, and lose at least two pounds a week, every week, for as long as you're willing to stay at high altitude.
We've been on the mountain now a month, and haven't even reached the highest camp yet, and everyone has already lost weight. Most of us have dropped five to ten pounds, but Dave, our geologist, who was a lean, sturdy, 165-pound, five-foot-eleven man a month ago, is now down to 148 pounds, and dropping.
You want to lose weight? Come to Everest!

FUQUA, GALBA (1819–1836). Galba Fuqua, Alamo defender, son of Silas and Sally (Taney) Fuqua, was born in Alabama on March 9, 1819. He was of French Huguenot descent. In the past he was also thought to be of Mexican or Jewish descent. As a resident of Gonzales, Texas, he was enrolled by Byrd Lockhart in the Gonzales Ranging Company of Mounted Volunteers on February 23, 1836. He rode to the relief of the Alamo garrison with this group and arrived on March 1, 1836. Susanna W. Dickinson later claimed that during the battle of the Alamo Fuqua came to her and tried to tell her something. He was unable to deliver his message because his jaw had been broken in the fighting. He died with the other Alamo defenders on March 6, 1836, three days short of his seventeenth birthday.

In what may be an industry first, an operating system is shipping earlier than announced. Apple had previously promised Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard for September, but today Apple announced that Snow Leopard will become available on 28-Aug-09. Normally, it's pretty good money to bet on the latter end of a promised ship date range.
For those who have been on walkabout in the outback for the last 18 months, Snow Leopard is the next major release of Mac OS X, but one that is focused largely on enhancing performance and stability, and on improving the foundation upon which future applications will be built. Apple claims to have refined 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X, improving such key portions of the operating system as the Finder, Mail, Time Machine, the Dock, QuickTime, and Safari. For more details on what has changed, see "Apple Previews Snow Leopard for September Release" (2009-06-08).
Also being made available on 28-Aug-09 is Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard, which includes all the improvements in the desktop version of Snow Leopard and adds iCal Server 2, Podcast Producer 2, Wiki Server 2, Address Book Server, and Mobile Access Server.
Upgrade Pricing -- A single user version of Snow Leopard will be available as an upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for $29, a family-pack version that's licensed for up to five Macs within a household will cost $49, and an updated Mac Box Set, which will include Snow Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 will cost $169. (These links go to Amazon, though we just heard that Amazon apparently will ship Snow Leopard only within the United States.)
Apple considers Snow Leopard an upgrade from Leopard, so if you want to upgrade from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger running on an Intel-based Mac, Apple is directing you toward the Mac Box Set or to a Mac Box Set Family Pack for $229. Until we've had a chance to test, we won't know for sure if the Snow Leopard upgrade discs will install over Tiger. We presume they will, since otherwise they wouldn't be able to install on a completely bare hard disk either.
For those who have purchased a Mac with Leopard since 08-Jun-09, the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date package provides an update to Snow Leopard for only $9.95. You must request the Up-to-Date upgrade by the earlier of 90 days after purchase or 26-Dec-09.
Snow Leopard Server will cost $499 for unlimited users, down from $999.
Technical Requirements -- Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based Mac with at least 1 GB of RAM and 5 GB of available disk space. It also requires a DVD drive for installation. Certain features require additional technical specifications; see Apple's site for details.
Snow Leopard Server requires an Intel-based Mac with at least 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of available disk space, and some of its features also have higher technical requirements.
Take Control Books Coming Soon -- As much as Apple's early release increased the pressure on us a bit, we're on track to release both Joe Kissell's "Take Control of Upgrading to Snow Leopard" and Matt Neuburg's "Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard" by the time Apple makes Snow Leopard available to the public. You can read more about them now, and we'll post on the TidBITS and Take Control Web sites when the books are available for purchase.
"Take Control of Upgrading to Snow Leopard" provides the guidance you need to upgrade calmly and successfully, as have many thousands of Mac users who have previously relied on Joe's earlier "Take Control of Upgrading..." titles. Joe's friendly, expert steps - developed over innumerable test installations - help you avoid trouble, understand what's going on when you install Snow Leopard, and, by using the bootable duplicate that Joe helps you make before you start the upgrade, easily recover from problems that might arise.
"Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard" picks up at the next step, with Matt providing a tour of the new features in Snow Leopard, including both those that are totally new (such as the revamped Services feature and system-wide automatic text replacement), and those that have been enhanced from Leopard (like the new Dock-related Expose capabilities and additional Time Machine controls). Existing Leopard features are also fully explained, complete with customization options to make them work the way you want.
Everyone who purchased a previous version of either book will receive a discounted upgrade, so watch your email or click Check for Updates in your existing ebook to learn more once the books are available.

Ballale Island wrecks have been largely forgotten by by time. This has served to both protect the island from post-war scrappers, but has also made the place a target for a series of 'salvagers' to remove relics without the knowledge of the larger outside world, or compensation to the local people or government of the Solomon Islands. This is the history of the salvages and activities on the last undisturbed World War II airfield in the world.
World War II
Post War Years
In the late 1940s and early 50s most other islands and former bases the war effected were promptly visited by scrappers, who methodically worked over a location for profit: melting down the copper, brass and aluminum left from the war. Some of these profiteers made huge fortunes.
Unlike planters in nearby Papua and New Guinea, which received hefty reparations for war damages, those in the Solomons received none. At Ballale, there was little hope of re-opening the copra plantation without startup funds. Edith McDonald, was proud, principled and cared deeply for the local people. Even though financial pressures mounted, she declined an offer to have the island's war material salvaged, probably in hopes of doing the work herself when the plantation re-opened.
McDonald's decision not to scrap the island resulted in the protection of its wartime wreckage for a quarter century. Instead, the island languished, only the jungle reclaimed it. No local people lived on the island, aside from occasional hunters who passed there, or spent the night during bad weather. Locals recalled how some of the planes were prefect - their lights and gauges still were intact, and some remembered flipping switches that caused lights to shine or radios to crackle. According to them, outsiders (white people) began to visit, and remove things from them.
First Salvage by Robert Diemert
There he, found the treasure trove he imagined: an island full of Japanese wrecks. He had to hurry, Ballale was actually over the border in the Solomon Islands - another country. In the late 1960s enforcement and laws in these pacific countries were lax. All there was to do was enlist the help of some locals, promise them some future compensation, and load as many planes aboard his barge as possible!
Diemert loaded a VAL and three Zeros aboard his barge. Since the planes were intact, their wings and tails would have to be cut off (not disassembled). In a move that makes today's preservationists cringe, he use an axes to cut the wings and tails off! His visit was cut short with a violent case of scrub typhus he contracted on the island and rush to the hospital. He left with only one barge load of booty, that sailed back to Port Moresby. After narrowly recovering from his illness, Diemert convinced the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) to pick up the relics in one of their transports flying via Port Moresby, and air lift them back to Canada for free... in exchange for one of the (the Val) for their museum.
One of the Zeros he recovered, the first he restored crashed at his workshop in Canada on its first flight, destroying it. The other two were restored: one to static condition, and sold to the USMC Museum. Today, this Zero is displayed at National Museum of Naval Aviation (NMNA). The other to (barely) flying condition, and sold to the CAF (Commemorative Air Force). The VAL dive bomber was also (barely) restored to flying condition, but later deemed unsafe for flight. It was donated to the Canadian National Aviation Museum, in 'payment' for the shipment. In 1991, it was traded to the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California, who have been slowly re-restoring the plane since then.
Diemert was not involved with the movie Tora Tora Tora! that instead used AT-6 with cosmetic changes to make them look like Zeros and Vals. A documentary released in 1988 "The Defender" follows his strange exploits and includes some footage of his restoration of the Zero for the CAF. Diemert himself fell into obscurity following his adventures at Ballale, and he sold his remain bit of aircraft to another company in Canada, the Blayd Corporation. None the less, the salvaged Zeros and Val are considered 'priceless' by the organizations that own them today.
Ballale Reopens
A group of British engineers, working with local laborers (school children from nearby Nila Mission School) cleared the overgrown runway, and moved unexploded munitions. For the first time in thirty years, aircraft could again take off and land on the island. During the 1970s, visitors made their way to the island, including including authors and historians Charles Darby, William Bartsch, Michael Claringbould. Published photos of wrecks on the island appeared in Pacific Aircraft Wrecks (Darby) and After The Battle Magazine (Bartsch). Like all photos of aircraft wrecks on distant tropical islands, the images inspired dreamers and salvagers alike.
Reported Salvages
An American, Patrick Murphy had become involved in the Solomon Islands and World War II when he moved there in the early 1990s. Winning the respect of the former prime minister, he imported weapons and self-defense system (antiquated Korean war radar) to the country. He began collecting WWII relics, and excavated the crash site of A6M2 Zero 3647. By the late 1990s, he had fallen out of favor with the government and was asked to leave the country. Around that same time, he traveled to Ballale, after befriending politician Dominic Otwana from the region.
Reportedly, when he arrived, he asked Faruo Islanders to assist in shipping a wreck (a Zero, identity unknown) to Bougainville for export. Lawrence Kibule, witnessed the happenings: "It is true, an American man named Patrick Murphy got three boys from Fauro Island, to have him take a fighter airplane from Ballale. He told them he would pay them $10,000 but only gave them one case of beer. When he left they knew he had lied. They never saw him again."
Today, the only traces of the crime is the abandoned bulldozer and another missing wreck that has not resurfaced [as far known] in any warbird collection or museums to date.
The Bougainville Crisis
Salvage of More Wrecks
In the late 1990s Canadian, Chris Cowx visited the area as a tourist. He was amazed at the relics in the Solomons, particularly at Ballale. He began to inquire about buying wrecks, and presented to the local people and politicians, an plan for a community development project funded by selling some of the aircraft from Ballale.
In 2003, Australian Craig Turner, a self-appointed advisor to the Solomon Islands National Museum was issued a permit to export war relics, in exchange for help he would offer to the museum. According to Cowx, he and Turner work together, even traveled to Ballale, but problems developed and Cowx left the agreement. A back and forth sparring in the form of letters to the editor between Cowx and Turner unfolded in the Solomon Island Star Newspaper about Ballale and its wrecks, between November 2005 - January 2006.
Proceeding solo, Turner tagged wrecks with red cloth for removal. Primarily A6M Zeros, a D3A2 Val and G4M1 Betty. Also engines, propellers and other smaller parts. Around December 2005, thirty or more locals were hired to man-handle the aircraft from a bone yard area over a cut path to the beach. There, the salvage halted. Locals were in disagreement about proposal and their end of the deal, particularly Farou Islanders who were the traditional landowners of the island, and against the salvage.
According to the Solomon Islands National Museum, the salvage from Ballale is is to help build a new "War Museum Wing" at the museum. The potential sale will benefit the museum, local people and Australian advisor, Craig Turner in equal thirds. Instead of selling relics, did the musuem contact aid donors to contribute to museum improvements? Such organizations and governments been generous with the museum, including the donation of a Youth Center at the musuem dedicated in 2003. Past museums include Myanmar Association, Sendai-Japan, Solomon Kitano Mendana Hotel and the Japanese Government.
The Future
Meanwhile, new hopes immerge, with several tourist lodges open in the area, and several more planned. These developments making it easier for visitors to visit this island themselves, and make a possibility for these artifacts to have a life related to tourism. If the people choose to sell them, hopefully they will learn form the lessons of the past and get paid up front for their fair value on the warbird market.
The relics of Ballale are undoubtedly both priceless and worthless. They are priceless to history and as time capsules. They are worthless if destroyed or inaccessible to those who want to visit the island and study them.

Paganostrong? That sounds like a cheesy name for a crime-fighting team made up of Paracelsus, Nostradamus, and Cagliostro.
Or just a play on Lance Armstrong's foundation.
m. Of course I watched the presidential debate. But I've told my editors I wouldn't be throwing out any partisan or non-partisan opinions on the race. Sorry. I know how many of you look forward to my well-informed take on politics.
n. So would I be allowed to say that the annual cost to every man, woman and child in the United States for PBS is $1.35, or should I keep that to myself?
So he's just trolling his readers now, right?
PK also confirmed every charge against him from last week when he discussed the AL MVP. If you found his reasoning on the Scott Walker tweet to be superficial at best, you've got another example when he writes "I would still probably vote for Cabrera, whose team made the playoffs while Trout's did not...". Uh, Peter? The Angels finished the year with a better record than the Tigers, and played a harder schedule at that. This includes the Angels' 6-14 record before Trout was even on the team.
Of course, this is all just pretending that team record should matter a damn to an individual award anyway.
I think it's valid to take the team record into account when you're talking about MVP, but I don't think it's as simple as whether or not a team makes the postseason. I would argue that for a player to be an MVP, his team should at least be in contention for a large part of the season, which the Angels were.
PK's "beernerdness" and "coffeenerdness" sections get to me way more than they should. As someone who really enjoys good beer and coffee, hearing someone proclaim themselves as a "nerd" about these things and then devote column space to Keurig instant coffee or swill like Shock Top is incredibly irksome. It's like a slap in the face to anyone that truly appreciates these things.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Sports talk radio and sports message boards are the killing fields of intellectual discourse.
I've stopped reading those sections. Follow my example and you'll find life more enjoyable.
Why stop there?
I haven't actually.
I only click the link if someone here comments that he wrote something interesting. Usually I only read that specific section. Sometimes I'll read more, but regardless I ignore his "nerdness" sections.
It doesn't bother me, but it makes me chuckle. Reminds me of a guy I knew in college who was trying to impress some people by saying he 'listens to some really hard stuff, you know, like Kid Rock.' I of course chuckled and put on my Amon Amarth album for him.
For all the well-deserved carping about Peter King, his story about the Colts victory was a marvel of reporting and writing. That's the best thing I've read out of him in a long time.
Yes sir. Stories like this are where P.King shines and he deserves credit for effectively telling a very compelling story.
True that.
Sorry, back to the carping:
King approvingly quotes a Boston Globe writer about Cabrera's triple crown win: "It's historic that Cabrera won the first Triple Crown since 1967. But becoming the answer to a trivia question did not make him a better overall player than Trout."
When I read that, I thought, 'winning the triple crown makes you the answer to a trivia question?' And here I thought it was one of the most remarkable achievements a baseball player could accomplish.
Seven (mostly short) paragraphs later, King states: "Maybe it's because I'm 55 and I respect, but am not ruled by, the new baseball metrics, but Miguel Cabrera winning the Triple Crown is a very big deal to me."
Consistency is overrated!
Sorry, Peter, 'playing shortstop for the Yankees in the 9th inning of the 7th game of the 1960 World Series, when Mazeroski hit the winning home run' makes you the answer to a trivia question. Winning the triple crown makes you a lot more!
(I think the answer is Clete Boyer, by the way--Kubek had been injured, DeMaiestri replaced him, but was pinch hit for by Long, McDougald pinch ran for Long, then came in to play third, with Boyer moving to SS. I could be wrong, though.)
"And here I thought it was one of the most remarkable achievements a baseball player could accomplish."
Remarkable achievement? Its a collection of three arbitrary stats. Its no more remarkable than a hitter leading the league in SBs, SacFlies, and Doubles.
Batting average is a poor estimator for OBP, which is the real stat of importance. RBIs correlate more heavily to the OBPs of the guys batting in front of you than anything else, and HRs, they're nice, but they're not all that much more important than anything else.
Wow, shortsighted much? It's a long-standing award and winning it has defined the careers of the short list of guys who managed it.
HRs are way more important than anything else (assuming your anything else is the stats you mentioned, SBs, Sac Flies, Doubles). A HR is more important and more valuable than any other single batter outcome in baseball.
Yes, a homerun is the most valuable event for a hitter. That doesn't mean that a guy who hits a lot of homeruns is necesarilly valuable.
Adum Dunn hit 41 homeruns this year and was a below average player.
Why? Because he played defensively unimportant position and still made outs on 67% of his plate appearances.
You said that home runs are not that much more important than anything else.
Yes, OBP as a whole is more important than someones HR totals, but the individual act of a home run is as valuable an outcome as there is.
To compare the 'triple crown' to SBs, Sac Flies and Doubles is really a ridiculous argument. There is some importance to BA, HR and RBI. Yes, they are context dependent, but players with good enough batting averages to win a batting title are almost assuredly above average players. Yes, OBP is more important, but in this case Miggy's OBP was good anyway.
"but the individual act of a home run is as valuable an outcome as there is"
Which doesn't contradict anything I said.
"but players with good enough batting averages to win a batting title are almost assuredly above average players"
Last 5 years, leaders in doubles (AL):
Year, Player, Doubles, fWAR
2012,Alex Gordon,51, 5.9
2011,Miguel Cabrera,48,7.2
2010,Adrian Beltre,49, 6.9
2009,Brian Roberts,56, 3.7
2008,Dustin Pedroia,54, 6.8
Hi:7.2, Low: 3.7, Ave: 6.1 WAR
2012,Miguel Cabrera, 44, 7.1 (had 40 doubles)
2011, Jose Bautista, 43, 8.3
2010, Jose Bautista, 54, 6.8
2009, Carlos Pena, 39, 3.0
2009, Mark Teixeira, 39, 5.2
2008, Miguel Cabrera, 37 , 2.8
Hi: 8.3, Low: 2.8, Ave; 5.53
Looks like (in a quick sloppy look), picking the leader in doubles would get you a better player.
I don't think so. Three out of five years, the HR leader (or one of them) had more WAR; in one of the remaining two, the difference was negligible (2010). 2008 skews the mean.
But this is getting really far afield.
The argument that 2011 skews the mean the other way could easily be made.
The HR-leader avg is really 5.91. The 2009 tie should use the avg WAR (4.1) to avoid double-counting that year. Doesn't change the comparison, except to make it close.
The last dozen guys to win the Triple Crown prior to Cabrera all made the Hall of Fame. (The only ones not in the Hall played in the 1800s.) Arbitrary?
The men of which you speak both won the Triple Crown and made the Hall of Fame because they were great players. They did not make the Hall of Fame because they won the Triple Crown. Yes, it is a somewhat arbitrary accomplishment.
Think about pitcher wins. You have to be a very good pitcher to win 20 games in a season. Winning 20 games, though, does not mean that you were the best pitcher that season. The Triple Crown is no different.
Spam filter seems to dislike this thread.
Spam filter ain't the only one...
To be fair, Cabrera had a very good year, definitely MVP-worthy. It's his good luck to have it in a year where no one else went off with the bat (if Josh Hamilton homers twice more, did Cabrera play worse?), when the players above him in the order hit well; it's his bad luck to have it in a year where someone else turned in not just one of the great rookie seasons, but one of the 100 or so best seasons in the history of baseball, taking everything into account.
The simple way to look at it is to say that an MVP vote for Cabrera is one that implicitly says "defense is a tie-breaker; players provide 90+% of their value with the bat". That used to be a defensible position only in the sense that we couldn't measure defense very well, while offense was pretty well understood and pretty stable. As defensive measures improve, we learn more about how it should be weighted relative to offense when determining player value. (So far, barring Dr. Strangeglove and Tris Speaker facing off, it's worth about half of what offense is when comparing players at the same position - players simply don't get as many defensive opportunities as plate appearances, and most players are within a relatively narrow group in terms of what they do with those chances. Individual players stats are pretty volatile, though - either defensive ability changes from year to year, our stats are mostly measuring noise, the sample size is too small, or a little from columns a, b, and c.)
This is far afield, but the view is instructive: It points out that just because we can't measure something doesn't mean it's not important, nor does it mean that measuring something and finding it not predictive means it's not descriptive. The FO folks know this one well - discounting long plays because they improve DVOA's predictive powers at the expense of its descriptive powers, for example.
Of course, quite a few Triple Crown winners failed to win their league's MVP, which is what the "controversy" is all about.
All of those players' teams also missed the playoffs.
How many of those players played when ten teams made the playoffs?
"Batting average is a poor estimator for OBP, which is the real stat of importance."
I don't believe that's the prevailing opinion in the baseball stat community. OPS correlates better to scoring runs. (BTW, Cabrera led the league in that too.) A lot of folks would even say that batting average is more important than OBP for anybody but the lead-off hitter. A guy like Cabrera, his job is to drive in runs, not take walks.
" A lot of folks would even say that batting average is more important than OBP for anybody but the lead-off hitter"
Who are these folks? Theres a significantly higher correlation to runs for OBP than AVG.
OPS isn't a particularly good stat either. Its been shown that a point of OBP is worth about 2 points of SLG, so OPS inaccurately weights towards power. There are a handful of much better stats (wOBA, wRC, etc) that more accurately portray a hitter's value. For all of them, OBP carries the heaviest weight.
Yeah, OPS makes no sense. First of all, mathematically, you are adding two fractions with different denominators.
I agree that wOBA, wRC, or true average or many other advanced, adjusted stats are better. OBP is probably the most meaningful simple stat.
Don't forget that when OPS first came to people's attention, the idea that someone would be able to look up any baseball stat on their cellphone was as unlikely as a team stringing together twenty straight losing seasons. According to Hidden Game, OPS was about as useful as more complex stats like RC and linear weights, and that's still true.
Every hitter's job is to generate runs for his team. It turns out the best way to do that is to not make an out.
Even if you're Barry Bonds and everyone else is Rabbit Maranville, it's still better to take a walk. Even banjo hitters run into a ball now and then, and you'll score more runs if you take the walk then if you expand the zone and make more outs.
This is the first thing you learn whenever you look at any baseball season, team or even an individual game. If you make fewer outs you win more often, year in, year out. Read any book about the dawn of baseball; write about the famous rallies; play the game professionally; play Strat-o-Matic or any other simulation. All of them will make this point - a walk isn't a hit, but it's so much better than an out of any variety it might as well be a hit.
I agree that today leading in HR's, RBI's and BA is not (and should not be) seen as a mark of the best offensive player. However, Cabrera is a better hitter than Trout by a small margin. But Trout is a way (way , way ,...) better fielder than Cabrera. Historically the Triple Crown had been seen as the epitome of offensive performance, if Cabrera losing the MVP de-emphasizes these stats more, then that is a positive. However I still want Cabrera to win - Go Tigers!
"Cabrera is a better hitter than Trout by a small margin. "
Hitter, maybe. Offensive player, not so much:
Trout: wOBA .422, wRC+ 175, wRAA 55.4
Cabrera: wOBA .416, wRC+ 166, wRAA 57.0
(wRAA is only higher for Cabrera because he had 10% more PA.)
Trout is a much better baserunner than Cabrera, and that makes a difference.
And Trout is a fantastic defender in CF, whereas Cabrea is a significantly worse than average 3B. Maybe a terrible 3B.
it really isn't even close. Trout and Cabrera are close enough at the plate to allow each side to argue their respective merits, but Trout is far more valuable on the bases and in the field. The MVP can be awarded to some noteworthy guy on a playoff team, like it usually is (I'm sure there are some old farts still angry about Andre Dawson), but the player who contributed the most to his team was not Cabrera.
All of this just serves to bring up my biggest awards pet peeve... the definition of "valuable" as it's used with regard to MVP.
It seems that the current definition is "largest contribution to making the playoffs". And it seems that over the years the definition has just gotten stronger and more prevalent. Not "toward" making the playoffs, but to actually making them. Which means that if a team didn't make the playoffs, for this award, everything those players did has zero value.
That seems stupid to me. Very stupid.
Cabrera is playing out of position this year to accommodate Fielder. Although he used to be a 3rd baseman, he's been playing first for years.
I think the easiest thing to do with award controversies like these is to take a deep breath and realize that the people who care about awards at all are just plain stupid and move on.
No award changes the actual facts of the matter, so who cares who a bunch of out of touch fossils who don't even understand their own profession give it to.
Its like caring about who is elected Pope after you have become an atheist.
That last sentence is priceless. Kudos.
Your glib analogy is more accurate than you know. Just like the selection of a new pope, finding out who won the MVP is interesting. If it makes you feel better about yourself to believe that everybody who is interested in things that you aren't is stupid, that's your right. As you said, it is the easiest way to view the world.
Eh, I gave up on the Heisman Trophy years ago, because I came to realize that it had very little relationship to the actual value of the play on the field. The MVP Awards are not quite that bad, but not too far removed, either. I won't say people who care about that stuff are stupid, but I guess I view them in the same manner as I do people who watch "American Idol"; they just have a lot of interest in something that holds no appeal to me.
I won't pretend I understand it, but for whatever reason, the general public loves the idea of a bunch of egomaniacs patting each other on the back and telling each other how wonderful they are.
"Its no more remarkable than a hitter leading the league in SBs, SacFlies, and Doubles."
"HRs, they're nice, but they're not all that much more important than anything else."
Yes, we all remember the summer of 2000, when an enthralled nation breathlessly watched Todd Helton's ultimately unsuccessful drive to surpass the season record for doubles set by the immortal Earl Webb in 1931.
What we remember has little correlation to what is actually valuable. I seem to remember a lot of Nomar Garciappara futzing with his gloves.
Dig yourself in deeper!
SI.com is getting pop-up happy. Every page, I have to wait for the pickup truck video to load so I can kill it.
I use firefox and the noscript addon to deal with obnoxious and/or sketchy sites.
I use chrome for things like my bank and sites that aren't obnoxious
I use a flash blacker in chrome. Picture ads don't bother me. Ads that take up more bandwidth and make noise can go **** themselves.
As a Seahawks fan, I have to register my complaint about this column making me like Larry Fitzgerald even more: World traveler! Willing to try anything (food-wise)! Honors his late mother! Works to help starving people in Ethiopia! That plus his loyalty to the not-exactly-world-beating Cardinals. Seriously, Larry: you're making the rest of us look bad.
I can't believe that I'm saying this, but The Office has actually been decent this season. I'm looking forward to it again, rather than out of a sense of obligation.
"Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be."
NFL football is a violent game, and traumatic injuries are unfortunate but unavoidable. But are bigger players more likely to be hurt than their smaller peers?

Morality in Media Calls on Top NBC Sponsors to Stop The Playboy Club
Aug 10, 2011, 09:57 ET from Morality in Media
Group warns of consequences for support of sexually exploitive show
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NBC's top advertisers will receive a letter this week from Morality in Media asking that they use their influence to stop NBC from airing The Playboy Club this fall and warning them not to advertise on the show if it airs.
"We will expect advertisers to steer clear of the promotion of the Playboy lifestyle and pornography," said Dawn Hawkins, executive director of Morality in Media. "On a recent media tour, the show's producers stated--with a straight face--that The Playboy Club is all about 'female empowerment,'" she noted. "Sexual exploitation of women is not empowering," she added.
"For nearly decades, Playboy has been the top pornographer in the world. Pornography has caused the addiction of many adults and even children, has led to increased domestic violence, and the treatment of women and children as mere sex objects to be used, abused, and discarded, just like Hugh Hefner's girlfriends," Hawkins said.
"Today – with NBC's use of the public airwaves – Playboy is poised to cause even more harm, this time bringing its pornographic worldview directly into America's living rooms," said Patrick A. Trueman, President of Morality in Media. "We don't need NBC to pour more fuel to that fire."
Playboy, once equated with 'soft-core' pornography, distributes hardcore pornography on pay TV channels and the Internet. The company also has just partnered with the largest distributor of hard-core porn on the Internet.
Distribution of hardcore pornography can be prosecuted under federal and state obscenity laws, according to Trueman, a former chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.
Hawkins is encouraging citizens to sign the pledge at www.CloseTheClubOnNBC.com to make it unprofitable for NBC to exploit women and to contact their local affiliate and ask that the show not be aired. The letter sent to advertisers is also available on the site.

Well, my beloved 49ers lost the Super Bowl, so I'll have to take solace in some great movies to help lessen the sting. Here's what's on Blu-ray and DVD this week!
Flight – Flight has had relatively strong praise from critics and audiences, but it also has some detractors. While the film might not be for everyone, there's no denying the amazing performances by Denzel Washington and John Goodman, and that plane landing sequence is a masterpiece in tension. This one is definitely worth watching, especially before the Academy Awards.
Peter Pan: Diamond Edition – Making its Blu-ray debut, Peter Pan is out in an all new edition. I'll be honest; I've never really been a big fan of Peter Pan. It's not even the Disney movie in particular (although I'm not a giant fan of that, either), but the character as a whole has just never captured my imagination. Clearly, though, this is classic Disney animation, and the new Peter Pan: Diamond Edition celebrates that in style. It's one my kids enjoy, and at least if I have to watch it again, I'm glad it's available in such an impressive edition.
Alex Cross – Despite the popularity of author James Patterson's and star Tyler Perry, Alex Cross was DOA at the box office. Apparently, a lot of people couldn't take Perry seriously as an action hero (one of the perils of making your fortune while cross-dressing, I guess.) But here's the thing: Alex Cross is actually a decent movie. Perry isn't bad in the lead role (although he's not especially great, either), but adding Edward Burns to the mix as Cross's partner helped give the film some good character. And Matthew Fox is downright scary as the psychopathic killer who drives the story. All in all, a solid rental at best.
Cabaret – One of the movies that defines the musical genre, Cabaret is available on Blu-ray for the first time. Musicals aren't necessarily my wheelhouse, but there's no denying this is a well-loved film. Packaged in a terrific mini-hardcover book package and loaded with extra features, this one is a must-have for fans.
Here Comes The Boom – Kevin James can usually be relied upon to deliver some solid (if not overwhelming) laughs and Here Comes the Boom is more of what we've come to expect from the funnyman. It's not terrible, it's not great, but it is a good way to kill 90 minutes. Plus, Salma Hayek is in it, and that is NEVER a bad thing.
Celeste and Jesse Forever – Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to see this film yet, but Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg co-star (and Jones co-wrote the film) as a married couple that splits up, even though everyone else seems to know that they belong together. I've heard good things about the film. Check out the trailer below and see if it looks like something you'd enjoy.
Little White Lies – French cinema gets a bad rap for being pretentious and overbearing, but over the past few years, the land of baguettes and berets has steadily been pumping out some really incredible films. This new drama features a veritable A-list of French actors, including Marion Cotillard, Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lalouche, and Francois Cluzet, all of whom I enjoy very much. If you don't mind a bit of spice in your latte, check this one out.

Main :: Riffworks Line 6 / Standard Edition
by wennec on 2010-04-19 14:08:20.5920
Hi Guys, I am having the same problem with the Monkey that a number of Line6 customers seem to have had before me; namely I can't get it to activate a product I've purchased. In my case it's Riffworks Line6 Edition. I transferred the license when I upgraded the OS on my PC from Windows Vista to Windows 7 64-bit and have had to wait until now to get compatible versions of the Line6 products that work with that OS.
Now that the Win7 versions are available I'd like to get everything back up and working, but cannot for the life of me get the Monkey to activate Riffworks. I've tried disabling the Windows firewall and my AV software. I've removed all possible USB devices and made sure no external USB hubs were connected. I've tried the 'refresh' method in the Moneky. I've tried clicking on the "Free RiffWorks2" button on the Moneky. I've tried pasting the activation key into the "Activate Purchase" window....but in all cases I get the same timeout error (or occasionally an HTTP 500 error).
I think you guys can activate the product for me at your end; is this the case?
Either way, I really need to get this working and would really appreciate your help in this matter.

I think you're problem is a multi-layered one.
1. Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition won't run on Windows 7. I double-checked (see screenshot).
2. Sonoma Wireworks are the creators/owners of the RiffWorks software program. In the past, we had special licenses for a special version of the program (Riffworks 1 and Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition), but these programs will only run on XP and Vista operating system environments, only.
3. You might need to try installing the Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition license I see in your account from a different host computer/internet connection service location. If you've tried all direct USB ports and they all fail, please try a different host computer next (if possible). If that machine fails, it could be your Internet Service Connection.
4. At this point, the only version of Riffworks available is the Riffworks Standard 2.5 program, which is available directly from Sonoma Wireworks, website. This version no longer requires you to install a license into a Line 6 USB device; it's just a standard software program that uses a serial number entered during program installation.
Hope my suggestions helped answer your question. Sorry that you're going through some hardships getting setup, but you won't be able to run Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition on a Windows 7 computer at the very least. You'll need to have an XP or Vista machine and you may need to try installing the Riffworks 2 license into your GuitarPort from a different computer/location, too.

I am also having problems with my Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition. I have downloaded the License Manager, activated my guitarport and when i try to run riffworks, it tells me it's out of date then continues to run in demo mode.
any help would be greatly appreciated, an email to email@example.com should get to me!!1
