Tammy Duckworth on Civil Rights
Opponent's Argument for voting No (The Week; Huffington Post, and The Atlantic): House Republicans had objected to provisions in the Senate bill that extended VAWA's protections to lesbians, gays, immigrants, and Native Americans. For example, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) voted against the VAWA bill because it was a "politically–motivated, constitutionally-dubious Senate version bent on dividing women into categories by race, transgender politics and sexual preference." The objections can be grouped in two broadly ideological areas--that the law is an unnecessary overreach by the federal government, and that it represents a "feminist" attack on family values. The act's grants have encouraged states to implement "mandatory-arrest" policies, under which police responding to domestic-violence calls are required to make an arrest. These policies were intended to combat the too-common situation in which a victim is intimidated into recanting an abuse accusation. Critics also say VAWA has been subject to waste, fraud, and abuse because of insufficient oversight.
Christian Coalition publishes a number of special voter educational materials including the Christian Coalition Voter Guides, which provide voters with critical information about where candidates stand on important faith and family issues. The Christian Coalition Voters Guide summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Maintaining current federal law defining marriage as one man and one woman"
The Feminist Majority endorses candidates for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. In addition to the stronger "endorsement," the organization also determines "preferred" candidates in races where they do not endorse. Their mission statement:
"Our mission is to empower feminists, who are the majority, and to win equality for women at the decision-making tables of the state, nation, and the world. The Feminist Majority promotes non-discrimination on the basis of sex, race, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, religion, ethnicity, age, marital status, nation of origin, size or disability. The purpose of Feminist Majority is to promote equality for women and men, non-violence, reproductive health, peace, social justice and economic development and to enhance feminist participation in public policy. Feminist Majority supports workers' collective bargaining, pay equity, and end of sweatshops. We encourage programs directed at the preservation of the environment."

Only a few days have passed since the introduction of the new low-cost but highly efficient phase-change cooling system aka Mach II ST. But already now, on ASUS booth at CeBIT you could see one more Mach II modification from nVENTIV at work.
nVENTIV Mach II GT is positioned as a high-end solution, which performance is the key factor determining the users' buying decisions. Mach II GT has no performance issues to worry about. The thermal characteristics of the new system are unprecedented for the mass products of the kind. In fact, you can only achieve better results if you use specially designed cascade systems or vapor cooling (with liquid nitrogen or dry ice). The vaporization temperature is around -65C (under 0W workload), which is 15 degrees better than the results shown by Mach II. The temperature under maximum workload of 200W have also dropped proportionally: the vaporization temperature is -40C, while the CPUI surface temperature equals to -20C.
The newcomer features an enhanced thermal insulation system, compared with Mach II: thermal bus acquired new heating wires, which improved the reliability of the system in case of higher humidity. Also start-up time grew shorter. The standard package of nVENTIV Mach II GT includes a front panel LCD display (which is optional for Mach II), is compatible with any accessories designed for other nVENTIV systems and optionally comes in an aluminum case from Lian Li (black or silver).
And in order to prove that they really do what they say, nVENTIV demonstrated record breaking opportunities their new system offers. They overclocked Prescott 3.2E to 5008MHz and the CPU remained STABLE at that impressive clock rate! So, they entered the prestigious "5GHz" club on ordinary stock phase-change unit! Before that, such frequencies used to be the prerogative of vaporization cooling solutions, liquid nitrogen cooling systems or self-designed cascade systems.
Of course, this superior achievement of nVENTIV Company opens another chapter in the world's overclocking history. This is a truly impressive result and excellent promotion for their Mach II GT system (although I don't think that all of you will be able to repeat this success, because nVENTIV spent a lot of time and effort in order to set this record).
The pictures were taken at the CeBIT show in Hanover, where the winning system was demonstrated on ASUS booth.
You can find more details about nVENTIV Mach II GT on the manufacturer's site.

Justice has been in exile for eight long years. It needs to be restored.
That means restoring checks and balances, accountability, transparency and the rule of law -- some of our most fundamental constitutional values that have been stepped on and undermined by the previous administration. It's going to take a lot of effort and all three branches of government.
- Legislative Branch
- Executive Branch
- Judicial Branch
Legislative Branch
People For the American Way has a three-point petition to congressional leaders advocating certain steps the legislative branch must take in the comprehensive effort to Restore Justice.
1. Pass legislation to establish a commission to fact find and protect civil liberties moving forward.
2. Ensure that investigations into Bush administration wrongdoings are unobstructed and all subpoenas are vigorously enforced.
3. Make sure those who broke the law are held accountable.
You can sign the petition at http://site.pfaw.org/RestoreJustice.
It's critical that the abuses of the past administration are not repeated. There has been much talk of "truth commissions" with mixed reviews of the idea. People For is more specifically advocating the creation of a congressional commission both to investigate the past administration AND check executive branch overreach in the future. H.R. 104 by Rep. John Conyers would create the National Commission on Presidential War Powers and Civil Liberties -- People For the American Way supports this bill.
Executive Branch
The first step for the executive branch is to abandon the devastating policies of the previous administration. President Obama has already signed executive orders moving us away from some of the Bush administration's worst policies, but Americans still need and deserve to see major policy reversals in the areas of:
- excessive government secrecy;
- the denial of habeas corpus and other due process protections to detainees;
- torture;
- extraordinary rendition;
- and more.
These are all areas in which the rule of law was seriously undermined by the previous presidential administration. The Obama administration must be unequivocal in its repudiation of executive branch transgressions in these areas. Honoring the rule of law is essential to Restoring Justice.
The second step for the executive branch is making sure the Department of Justice acts to protect the constitutional rights of Americans and promote constitutional values in its legal policies. The DOJ played a central role in much of the Bush administration's wrongdoing and it will play a central role in the cleaning up of those messes under the Obama administration. This includes, but is not limited to:
- maintaining a robust civil rights division that protects equality, voting rights and civil liberties;
- approving and recommending policies which are in accordance with the law and with our American values;
- pursuing justice in the interest of the American people, not the president;
- conducting probes into prior misconduct, including that of the Bush administration.
One more part of Restoring Justice is making sure President Obama's DOJ nominees are confirmed so the Department can get to this important work. But some of the nominees have come under fire from the Radical Right.
One of the president's best nominees -- Dawn Johnsen, nominated to head the incredibly important Office of Legal Counsel -- has been targeted by the Right and held up for months by Republicans in the Senate. Read more and take action.
Judicial Branch
The Supreme Court's majority is likely to remain intact in the short term because most of the anticipated retirements in the next few years will likely come from some of the older progressive and moderate justices, as we saw with the recent replacement of Justice Souter with Sonia Sotomayor. But increasing the Democratic majority in the Senate and keeping John McCain out of the White House were major steps in Restoring Justice to the federal judiciary. Now, it's up to us to make sure:
- President Obama nominates solid justices, in the mold of Justices Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, to the Supreme Court;
- he nominates judges of a similar temperament who will defend constitutional values to the lower federal courts (to help reverse the damage done by President Bush's packing of the courts with right-wing ideologues); and
- the Senate confirms all good judicial nominees.
The Far Right has already started to flex its muscles and prepare for the judicial confirmation battles to come. Part of this has been its attempted obstruction of some of Obama's DOJ nominations. Even Ken Starr (who led the Right's witch hunt against President Clinton) has weighed in with predictions about future efforts by Republicans to block Obama's judges.
People For the American Way and People For the American Way Foundation will be doing very focused work around the courts and the Supreme Court in particular over the next several years. Here are some existing resources that could be helpful to activists:
- Transcript -- Beyond the Sigh of Relief: Justices in the Mold of Marshall and Brennan (a forum hosted by People For the American Way Foundation in December at the National Press Club)
- Right Wing Watch In Focus: Attacks on DOJ Nominees Signal Right's Judicial Nominations Strategy

Elevate fetch to a whole new level with the Ruffwear Hover Craft Dog Toy. Sure, that hard plastic disc has done the trick up until now, but maybe you and your dog would like something new. The Hover Craft has soft construction that's kind to your dog's teeth, and this toy's foam core helps it float in case it really picks up some distance and eventually ends up on the water. Keep this long-distance disc in your toy arsenal and pick up a few new tricks.
- External material is abrasion-resistant and rugged enough for extended sessions of fetch for seasons to come
- Soft construction is easy to catch and gentle to your dog's mouth and teeth
- Molded foam core provides excellent flight performance over long distances and it helps this toy float on the water
- Reflective trim helps you spot this toy under the light of a headlamp at dusk or dawn

Have questions about this product?
Hovering, durable fun
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this for playing fetch with my pit in the snow. Throws well, holds up to some pitty tug-o-war, and stays on top of the snow. This one will be around for awhile.
For the pup that guts every toy
The average lifespan for any toy I get my dog is about 16 hours and then its unrecognizable. This disc has lasted 5 weeks and is going strong and that's with being the first toy she pick up in the yard.
Great toy, okay frisbee
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The small 6 inch disc is great for a 10lb puppy and isn't shredded by puppy teeth but it definitely doesn't float long when it's thrown. The pup still loves it, though!
Solid Frisbee
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Wasn't sure about this Frisbee at first as it felt super stiff and my dog seemed more focused on trying to flatten it out than to play fetch with it. I was happy to see that the shape still held even after her incessant gnawing and also still threw great! I get really tired of Frisbee that don't hold up over time but this one definitely passes the test!
Baloo Approves
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Although we still struggle with bringing this thing back after chasing it, it is pretty damn fun to carry around and chew on.
Its made of super durable material and can take a beating. If you have a dog that destroys toys, I recommend this among any of Ruffears toys.
They love this thing!
I'm not sure if this is the same exact 'Hover Craft Dog Toy', but it's a very similar frisbee from RuffWear.
This is the only frisbee that my dogs have not completely destroyed. Well built and made to last. They are borderline obsessed with it whenever we go out. Easy to throw, they love catching it, and I agree with Kayla, that it doesn't tear up their mouths nearly as much as a typical plastic frisbee.
Cool photo!

Great Fetch
Again, not a great chew toy- but if your pup likes to play fetch, this is a good one to check out! I love that it's not your normal plastic frisbee that a- they eat and b- leaves all of the rough plastic tooth marks to scrape apart your hands. Great for the dog that likes to jump for the toy too- it won't rip their mouths apart!

Not losing weight on the Atkins Diet? Former Fat Girl Lisa Delaney weighs in on why.
Spry editor Lisa Delaney is one of the rare souls who know what it�s like to be an �after.� This journalist and author of Secrets of a Former Fat Girl�shed 70 pounds�and six dress sizes--and has kept it off for 20 years. She answers your questions here each week.
DEAR FORMER FAT GIRL: I was put on the Atkins diet six months ago, and I am not losing weight like I should be, according to my dietitian. One month I lost 3 pounds, and last month only 1 pound. I don't eat large meals�usually small amounts of meat and a salad of some kind. What can I do to improve my weight loss on this diet?�Deana
DEAR DEANA: Hmmm. It�s great that you�re working with a dietitian, although I have to say I�m a bit surprised that she recommended the Atkins diet for you. Many mainstream health experts aren�t too hot on the high-protein, low-carb plan, because it severely restricts whole grains and allows high amounts of saturated fats that help drive up LDL (bad) cholesterol. If you haven�t already, consult your physician�both on the wisdom of sticking to the Atkins diet, and on why you aren�t losing weight on it. The fact is that the Atkins diet has a pretty good reputation as a lose-weight-quick plan, but not so much as a long-term weight loss solution. So it�s even more perplexing that you aren�t losing more weight following the plan.
RELATED: Atkins Diet 101
Your physician might be able to help. There are several factors that could affect your ability to drop pounds on this (or any other) diet. Underlying conditions (like thyroid problems or polycystic ovary syndrome) and side effects of prescription drugs (corticosteroids, anti-depressants) could make weight loss difficult for you.� I would need to know more about your individual situation to pinpoint the cause. In general, though, I suggest your keeping a food journal if you aren�t already (your dietitian should have you doing this)�that might reveal that you are taking in more calories than you think you are.
It is possible, too, that the progress you�re making isn�t showing on the scale. Are your clothes fitting differently? Do you have more energy? You could be losing fat and changing your body composition without your knowing it. If you�re curious, find out if your doctor or dietitian can measure your body fat. There are a number of methods for doing this�I would suggest, though, avoiding body fat scales, which tend to be unreliable. Some health clubs and healthcare professionals have the newfangled InBody machine, which is extremely reliable, but good old-fashioned calipers work OK too. The gold-standard, though, is hydrostatic weighing�basically an underwater scale. A new, portable hydrostatic body composition scale called the Fitness Wave is making it easier for people like you and me to get a really clear picture of what�s going on inside.
The other suggestion is to add exercise to your regimen. Frankly, I don�t love any weight loss plan that doesn�t include exercise�being active has SO many health benefits, even if you don�t lose an ounce while doing it. Not to mention the mood lift and confidence boost you get with every workout�that can go a long way when you�re trying to stick to a weight loss plan. Even simple walking should help fire up your metabolism and help you lose weight at a faster rate. Better yet, add resistance training to your regimen to increase your muscle mass (muscle burns more calories than fat). We have a whole library of great strength-training workout videos on our website. This one,�by Spry Fitness Coach Petra Kolber, is great for your lower body�and there are several upper-body workouts to choose from, too.

The Root Of It All
The Bloodroot is the first to make its appearance. Its fragile and ephemeral bloom is protected from the chickens by a hoop of wire and is the gateway to spring enthusiasm. The Lungwort is showing off its cotton candy blue and pink blossoms. The Swamp Milkweed is poking up, as well as the Great Solomon's Seal, the Mayapples, the Wild Geraniums and the Jack-in-the-Pulpit. All of these plants grace my gardens thanks to the annual Plant Exchange and Sale at Audubon. Thank goodness for fellow garden geeks.
Plants reproduce, it is what they are designed to do. When they get plentiful enough, I dig a few up, pot them, and take them to the Plant Exchange and Sale at Audubon the weekend before Memorial Day. I exchange them for botanical beauties that I don't have or want more of. In this fashion, I share the garden bounty with other local gardeners and get more plants than I need for myself.
As I drive around the backroads, I wonder how many of the flowers I see growing along old foundations have a story. In my garden, I have iris and lilies that came from my grandmother's garden. She grew tons of them, and some of them found their way to my parents' house where I grew up. When I purchased my own home, the best housewarming gift given was a collection of iris and lilies from my mother, flowers that used to grace my grandmother's garden. Occasionally now some of these same flowers get potted up and sent to the Plant Exchange. While they don't know it, they are taking home and rooting a piece of my family's story.
Exchanging plants not only shares a story, but it is an opportunity to be outside, get fresh air, grow something and meet others who share your interest. The plants you take home might benefit the wildlife (especially the pollinators), your family (with their beauty and food), and the overall environment (erosion control, biodiversity, etc.). They will also benefit strangers, who might drive by, see your garden and be inspired to garden as well.
The Plant Exchange and Sale works like this: bring in a potted plant and get credit for that plant in the form of tickets. You may then use those tickets to "purchase" a different plant. If you don't have any plants to bring in, you can also purchase plants with cash. Pretty easy.
Plants are priced based on three things – their condition, their size and their species. From an exchange perspective, everything must be potted in containers, not plastic bags. We reserve the right to refuse any plant for any reason. Almost anything is welcome, though, from vegetables to trees and almost everything in between. We will not accept "invasive" plants (anything that takes over) like mint, bishop's weed or periwinkle.
All the proceeds from the Plant Exchange and Sale benefit the gardens and the educational programs that use them. You'll notice some major changes in the gardens this year if you stop in. A grant from the Cornell Cooperative Extension allowed us to build some wonderful raised beds to demonstrate small scale gardening as well as some displays of kid-friendly gardening, cover cropping and square-foot gardening.
The Plant Exchange and Sale has gotten bigger every year. Often we feature donations from local greenhouses and nurseries, and sometimes from the Secret Gardens from our annual tour. Some of the plants exchanged go into our demonstration gardens here at the center so we can teach about butterfly gardening, caterpillar host plants, native, edible or medicinal plants.
Whether you're growing food, or growing a piece of your family's history, gardening is a great way to get connected to nature. Join us for our Plant Exchange and Sale on May 18, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. If you have plants to donate but can't attend on Saturday, you may drop them off the Thursday or Friday prior to the event. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Hatfield at 569-2345.

We want to have sex for the first time, but it hurts! What's the problem?
My boyfriend and I are both virgins...but we tried to have sex for the first time a couple nights ago. When he started to enter me, I felt a sharp pain. He could put the full length of his fingers in me comfortably, but his penis caused me pain. So we ended up not doing anything. Do you have any advice?
Is it normal to bleed after sex...the first time?
I bled excessively after having sexual intercourse for the first time...is this normal?

Oral Questions

Edmonton—Spruce Grove
Rona Ambrose Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women
Mr. Speaker, we work very closely with the Canadian security and defence industry, which provides 90,000 highly skilled jobs across Canada.
This is a decision made by a private sector company, but we are happy that this particular organization, General Dynamics, does have 2,200 jobs across Canada.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Linda Duncan Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, these were highly skilled, well-paid manufacturing jobs for my province. The workers were promised job security.
Was the $1 billion contract contingent upon delivering these Edmonton jobs? It raises an obvious question: how many of the jobs the government claims it has created still exist?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Edmonton—Spruce Grove
Rona Ambrose Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women
Mr. Speaker, as I said, this particular contract was awarded to a company that, while it is an American company, has plants here in Canada and provides thousands of jobs to Canadians across Canada.
This particular layoff is a private sector decision, but we are proud that we work closely with the security and defence industy, which employs 90,000 Canadians across the country, to develop high-skill jobs.
The Economy
Oral Questions
May 30th, 2012 / 3 p.m.
Dan Albas Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, last evening in the House of Commons, NDP MPs, many of them from British Columbia, deliberately ran out the clock on debate rather than support the effort to send Bill C-311 to the other place.
In doing so, the NDP has forced a second hour of debate that could potentially not occur again until late October. Given that wine agri-tourism season runs from now until early October, these unreasonable delaying tactics will in turn delay our Canadian wine industry from implementing planned expansions that create jobs and support our local economy.
Does the government recognize the need for this important legislation?
The Economy
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
The Hon. Minister of National Revenue.
The Economy
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gail Shea Minister of National Revenue
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Okanagan—Coquihalla for his work on the bill, and also our colleague from Kelowna—Lake Country for his tireless effort on this issue.
Bill C-311 is a positive step toward reducing unnecessary interprovincial trade barriers and toward promoting jobs and growth in the wine industry.
We are truly disappointed in the NDP members for playing silly political games and needlessly delaying passage of a bill that they claim to support. They tell the wine industry one thing, and then their actions in the House display something else. They are clearly not equipped to govern.
Search and Rescue
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Hedy Fry Vancouver Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, Vancouver city council passed a motion demanding a reversal of the closure of the Kitsilano Coast Guard base, which downloads a huge financial and safety cost to the city with no consultation.
Retired Coast Guard Dave Howell, who responded to over 30,000 incidents, calls it "incompetent and borderline criminal. I get a knot in my stomach and want to throw up".
Kitsilano base serves Canada's busiest port, with over 350 rescues a year. A new hovercraft will not meet that need.
Will the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans reverse his mistake—
Search and Rescue

Oral Questions

New Brunswick
Keith Ashfield Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, as I indicated before, the safety of mariners is our primary concern. We are going to strengthen our relationships with our partners on water search and rescues, partners such as the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, a volunteer group. We are very proud to have these people. They do fine, incredible work, unlike what we heard earlier today. Our volunteers do incredible work, and we are proud to work with them and proud to support them and help them in their work with us.
Aerospace Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Hélène LeBlanc LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, the RADARSAT Constellation program is at risk. The recent Conservative budget does not provide a single penny to build the satellites, despite years of design and development efforts. The satellites are designed to assist with marine surveillance and to respond to catastrophes and climate change. But the Conservatives are giving up and abandoning the project, which will hurt the economy.
When will the Minister of Industry restore funding for RADARSAT? Will he explain himself before the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology?
Aerospace Industry
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Christian Paradis Minister of Industry and Minister of State (Agriculture)
As I have said on many occasions in this House, we know that the 2010 budget, which the NDP voted against, allocated $497 million to the RADARSAT Constellation mission, and the 2009 budget, which the NDP also voted against, allocated $110 million for space robotics.
I will say it again: we are committed to this project and we will endeavour to deliver it in a cost-effective way.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Joe Daniel Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, added to a list that includes Kofi Annan and Angelina Jolie is one Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe's despotic leader this week was named as a UN envoy. His title? International tourism ambassador for the UN World Tourism Organization.
Could the Minister of Foreign Affairs please inform the House how Canada intends to respond to the fact that someone prevented from travelling to Europe because he has committed egregious human rights abuses is being recognized in this way by the UN?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, it truly is outrageous that someone with such a bad track record on human rights could be appointed to something by a United Nations body. It shows how out of touch this body is with reality. This type of appointment undermines the very United Nations organization.
In the budget we said we would be reviewing our membership in international organizations. Canada has signalled its intention to withdraw from the UN World Tourism Organization, a decision that will take place later this month.
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Dany Morin Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, QC
Mr. Speaker, an austerity budget is not going to help develop the economy of Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean.
What is needed is some kind of developmental project, such as the introduction of a customs service at the Bagotville airport. That will help our tourism industry, in addition to opening up other business opportunities.
Everyone in the region agrees on the project. The mayor supports it, Quebec's transportation department supports it, and even the Conservatives, during the election campaign, supported the project.
Is the government going to work with us and with local officials in order to introduce a customs service at the Bagotville airport very soon?
Oral Questions
3:05 p.m.
Vic Toews Minister of Public Safety
Mr. Speaker, we are always looking at ways to improve service for Canadians. That is what our beyond the borders initiative is doing.
The Prime Minister signed the agreement with the president in order to find ways to keep more smaller airports and border crossings open.
I hope that the NDP join us in that initiative so that we can work to protect smaller areas, to provide the services that local constituents require.

Michael Shields of Key West replied to yesterday's Homeless No More: Duval Street miracle, Key West post:
Sloan: I've read the heart rendering story about Larry, and was taken on a journey that was equally revealing and also cleansing. The couple who came into his life, Jim & Kathy, are certainly earth angels. I was likewise moved to tears, welling in me, feeling the extraordinary compassion that persevered, overcoming all obstacles, that a lesser caring person would have just given up with excuses, rationalizations, justifications on why "nothing can be done". The journey was powerful, and these "unsung heroes" deserve all our appreciation for showing each of us and the community, that even the simplest gestures, reaching out, caring, make all the difference in a person's life. And it can happen in a moment. It helped to wash my own clouded eyes, and realize what is all around me, and within me. Thank you for sharing it…. Michael
Nashville J replied to yesterday's post:
All I can say is WOW ! Thanks for the posting of the story (email) about Larry and his safe return home. Even brought a tear to my eye – for every Larry, there are 100′s or 1000′s who will never make that trip – but at least one made it.
My Marathon friend and director of the duplicate bridge club where I play on Thursdays said she was really moved by yesterday's post.
Also yesterday, I noticed a comment to an old MRSA remedy post, for which nothing changed in almost 5 years.
Manateemailboxes.com on said about MRSA Treatment & Pilgrim From the Mutant Species:
This article has kind of a whacky end to a serious issue. Although the beginning was very informative, some of the final words of advice could result in some serious consequences to your readers. I would like to share my MRSA nightmare and shed a serious light on the MRSA issue. I contracted MRSA in my local environment, possible local keys hospital but no way to know, could have been the water. Please read on. I am 49 yrs old with two young kids. Very active and fit. After a Snow Skiing accident in March 2012 I had a broken Tibia, Fibula had surgery in Colorado and returned to the Keys for follow up. The bones healed after 7 weeks but I had screws in my leg and I contracted MRSA through the wound and into the screws in my bone. I spent the next 8 months in and out of the hospital including 4 trips to the emergency room. Followed by five six week rounds of IV Antibiotics, Decompression Chamber for 20 days to improve circulation and six surgeries. Risked losing my life and or my leg. Total fianancial disaster and on and on. My last suregery was one year ago next week January 15, 2012. I am really greatful and happy to say I am 100% today, I actually played basketball with my 13 yr old last night. It could have turned out so much different and prayers definately had a lot to do with it. But it is a heavy duty bad trip and I am a world of knowledge if anyone has any questions or concerns I would be happy to help you out. My #1 piece of advice is to go see an infectous disease doctor and just listen to your lab results and what could happen to you if you do not take the right action. We do care about all of our citizens and if our misfortune can be your good fortune then it was not a misfortune. I was very lucky and there will be thousands of MRSA cases in the future, be informed. I had a lot of doctors and a lot of misadvice. Do your research, seriously you will loose your arm, leg or possibly Penis in the guys case above if you do not treat MRSA properly.
I replied:
You describe a systemic MRSA infection, which, of course, cannot be treated topically. I hope the folks where you got it paid all your ensuing medical bills. I had skin MRSA twice. The first time was before I knew of the Vaseline-iodine remedy. My doctor was an infectious disease specialist. Finally, I was able to corner him and he admitted he had talked with physicians all over America and medicine had no answer to what I had. I told him that must be awful, for a doctor's doctor, which he was, dedicated to healing, not to be able to find a cure. He looked as if he was going to cry. That night in my sleep I had dreams which caused me to think angels who were leaning on me for quite a few years by then were going to fix me, if I only took one day's dosage of the new antibiotic my doctor had only just that morning prescribed, to combat yet another return of the skin MRSA. So, the next day I took the prescribed dosage, and then I stopped taking the prescription. The new skin MRSA eruption started to shrink and in about two weeks was healed over. No way that could be explained medically. You say you prayed and that helped you. I dreamt, and that helped me after I went along with what I dreamt. I understand why you felt the ending was whacky. Not to some of my old friends, however, would that ending be whacky, were they to read it. Depends on your life experience and resulting outlook, what is whacky. Before the angels changed me, I would have thought what I wrote, which you read, was whacky. My understanding has been that systemic MRSA is treated with IV drips for quite a while, but perhaps today they have different ways. It's a very rough infection. It's endemic to the subtropics and tropics. It's in the ocean and on the land down here in the Florida Keys. It is contagious, the skin variety. It is pandemic in the Florida Keys, in mainstream and in homeless populations. Medicine is all too familiar with hospitals being MRSA breeding ground, anywhere, not just in the subtropics and tropics. Glad to hear you are over it, hope you never get it again. Hope the same for me. Hope nobody ever gets it. Thanks for writing of your experience. Sloan Bashinsky
Then, I noticed this much older comment, which I had forgotten:
Marlene on said about MRSA Treatment & Pilgrim From the Mutant Species
Dear Sloan, Let me just say that I wish there were more folks here like yourself, unafraid and passionate about the issues you discuss. I am a registered nurse who chose to leave Florida practice because of demands placed upon me that I will not go into here. Your post on your treatment and subsequent cure ( the mind body connection ) reinforces my belief that this paradise here in the Keys will be destroyed if no changes are made. I was raised Christian, but I do not believe in organized religion. I believe in spirituality, I believe we are children of a higher power. I also live by the golden rule, as Jesus taught. I believe in revering mother earth, and all the gifts she has given us. I am a believer in natural healing and I will spread the word about your treatment to all that will listen.
I leave for readers to go back to that old post, if they wish. It's in 10 pt. type face, which now is too small for me to comfortably read. The font size on your computer can be temporarily increased by simultaneously clicking Ctrl and + (plus), and when you are done reading, simultaneously click Ctrl and – (minus) to go back to your regular font setting.
However, a small part of that old post, a side bar essentially, caused me to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and I brought it forward in time:
Photo taken last night at Parrotdise's Friday open mic. Parrotdise is a waterfront restaurant and lounge on Little Torch Key. The damsel was with a friend damsel. They asked if I had anything to do with the Coconut Telegraph? Yeah. Was I Sloan? Yeah. The damsel not in the photo asked if she could take my picture to send to her mother in Wisconsin, I think she said. She said her mother had recently started reading the Coconut Telegraph and had made it part of her morning routine, and she had expressed interest in the crazy person who wrote stuff there. Voila, be careful what you ask for.
As I lay in bed waking before dawn this morning, I wondered what might have happened if I had asked the two young damsels if they were into menage de trois? Or maybe I did ask them. Parrotidise closed a couple of years ago. The only upscale-ish public restaurant near Big Pine Key.
Jim and Kathy's heart-rending story in yesterday's Homeless No More: Duval Street miracle, Key West post about getting a homeless man off the street in Key West brought a few raves. The MRSA remedy could save millions of people from a living hell, at a cost of only a few dollars. Maybe that's why it ain't a big seller: it ain't produced by a major chemical company. That, and it requires the patient to do half the work, and to have faith.
Street people are terrified of contracting skin MRSA, and they are especially terrified of contracting it at Keys Overnight Temporary Shelter (KOTS) run by the City of Key West, where homeless people presenting skin MRSA infections are allowed in at night. Anyone should be terrified of contracting MRSA, and those who do contract it can get far better results by mixing spiritual treatment with medical treatment, which works for both skin and systemic MRSA infections.
At the communal table at Coco's Kitchen yesterday evening, an elderly retired lawyer and his wife came in and joined us. I had heard of but had not met him yet. After we made introductions and talked a while, he asked me what kind of law I had practiced? Threshold law, I said. What was that?, he asked. I said whatever walked in over the threshold, I did it. In the old days, they called it the general practice of law. He asked if I still practice law? I said not in that sense, but I give legal advice every day.
The kind of legal advice I used to give, and the kind I later learned how to give. It's all intertwined. As above, so below. As below, so above.
Sloan Bashinsky

The Buccaneers hired former Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt as their special-teams coordinator on Friday, ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported.
Wannstedt was fired following the 2012 season, along with the rest of the Bills' staff. He started at Buffalo in 2011 as an assistant head coach/inside linebackers coach.
From 2005-10, Wannstedt was the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh, where he played his college ball. He last coached a special-teams unit during his first stint as a Pittsburgh assistant, from 1977-78.
In the NFL, Wannstedt was the Cowboys' defensive coordinator from 1989-92, the Bears' head coach from 1993-98 and the Dolphins' head coach from 2000-04, after one year as the team's defensive coordinator.
Wannstedt takes over for Bob Ligashesky, who was fired on Wednesday. He reunites with Bucs head coach Greg Schiano - the two worked together in Chicago from 1996-98 and coached against each other in the Big East.

Estimated grade. Ex. Kelly (1956) Sold by David Akers Numismatics Oct '97 Price realized $4400
David Akers (1975/88): In every respect except one, the 1926-D is virtually identical in rarity to the 1925-S. (The one area in which they differ is that the 1925-S is often seen in circulated condition whereas the 1926-D is nearly always seen only in Mint State.) Like the 1925-S, the 1926-D is one of the rarest and most underrated issues in the entire series. When available, which is not often, the typical 1926-D is MS-60 or 61 at best. A full MS-63 1926-D is really a very rare coin and above that level, the 1926-D is very nearly impossible to find. When looking at a fine collection of Saint-Gaudens double eagles, one naturally expects the 1920-S and 1921 to be considerably less than gem quality, maybe MS-60 except in a few instances. However, three much more lightly regarded issues, the 1924-S, 1925-S and 1926-D are, in my view, the real standards of excellence of a collection, because I have never, repeat never, seen a single collection that contained gems of all three of these issues, and not many that had a gem of even one or two of them. I have seen only three 1926-D double eagles that graded a full MS-65, one of which (a coin in a Midwest collection) is a strong MS-65+ with some claim to MS-67. perhaps an equal or finer example exists, but I have not seen or heard of it. At one time, the 1926-D was considered to be a much greater rarity than the 1927-D. Until the early 1950s, only the 1924-S was thought to be more rare, and only a half dozen or so examples of this issue were known. A few were discovered from time to time after that but never any hoards, not even small ones.
Most 1926-D double eagles are well struck but a small number of them are weakly struck at the borders, particularly on the lower obverse. However, evidence of die deterioration (crumbling, bulging), is seldom noticed on this issue. Surface texture is similar to other Denver Mint issues of this decade, i.e. fully frosty, and the lustre and color are generally well above average for the series. Most specimens I have seen are a light to medium orange and greenish gold color although I have never seen a few examples that have a rich yellow gold color.

The new piccolo headjoint copies Pearl's original high-wave design, but is professional quality and made of select Grenadilla wood for players who require a more professional sound.

Samsung Electronics, the world's top maker of dynamic random access memory (DDR3), said on Wednesday that it had begun mass production of 2Gb DDR3 memory chips using 40nm process technology. The new fabrication process should enable low manufacturing costs as well as potentially higher performance.
Samsungs new 2Gb chip made using 40nm process tech supports clock-speeds of up to 1.6GHz at 1.35V. According to Samsung, moving to a 40nm production process will provide around a 60% increase in production productivity over use of a 50nm process, which means considerably lower costs.
"We see market adoption to DDR3 picking up steam and are accommodating that with early entry of 2Gb DDR3 using the most efficient DRAM manufacturing technology available today. This will set the pace for a new standard in premium, eco-friendly DRAM solutions offering the most advanced, low power RDIMM for servers anywhere," said Jim Elliott, vice president of memory marketing at Samsung Semiconductor.
Besides enabling relatively low-cost 2GB or 4GB DDR3 memory modules for desktops, notebooks or workstations, Samsung itself will make 16GB, 8GB and 4GB RDIMMs for servers.
Potentially, makers of advanced memory modules for performance enthusiasts may utilize Samsung's new 2Gb DDR3 chips for their next-generation solutions that will need allow end-users to install 8GB or even higher amount memory into PCs.
According to market research firm iSuppli, 2 Gb DDR3 is expected to account for 82 percent of the total DDR3 DRAM market in units sold by 2012, and become the mainstream DDR3 DRAM product by 2010.

The first day had various breakout sessions in the afternoon.
- Understanding Your Options for Storing Archive Data to Meet Compliance Challenges
Storing Archive Data to meet Compliance ChallengesView more presentations from Tony Pearson on the IBM Expert Network.
I presented IBM's Smart Archive strategy and the storage products IBM offers to archive data and meet compliance regulations:
- The differences between backup and archive, including a few of my own personal horror stories helping companies who had foolishly thought that keeping backup copies for years would adequately serve as their archive strategy
- The differences between Write-Once Read-Many (WORM) media, and Non-Erasable, Non-Rewriteable (NENR) storage options.
- How disk-only archive solutions become "space heaters" for your data center.
- An overview of the various storage hardware options from IBM.
- How LTFS can be incorporated into an archive solution, such as [Crossroads Systems' StrongBox® solution].
- An explanation of the different IBM software offerings to help complement the storage hardware choices.
- IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC): New Features and Functions
Mike Griese, IBM program manager for TPC, presented the latest in TPC 5.1 version announced this week. His session was organized into four key sections:
- Insights - TPC 5.1 integrates COGNOS reporting, which allows custonmization of reports and ad-hoc exploration and analysis. Since the reports are not binary-compiled into the product, IBM can ship new COGNOS reports as templates outside the normal TPC release schedule. Also, TPC 5.1 got smarter on reporting on server virtualization hypervisor environments to avoid double-counting.
- Recommendations - TPC 5.1 can analyze your usage patterns across the entire data center and make recommendations to move data from one storage tier to another. You can then act on these recommendations by moving data from one tier to another, either "up-tier" to faster storage, or "down-tier" to less expensive storage, using a storage hypervisor like IBM SAN Volume Controller. This is complementary to features like Easy Tier which optimize within a single disk system.
- Performance - TPC 5.1 uses a new web-based GUI, based on AJAX, HTML5 and Dojo widgets, inspired by the IBM XIV GUI, and similar to the web-based GUI of SAN Volume Controller, Storwize V7000 and SONAS.
- Optimization - TPC 5.1 allows you to optimize for Cloud by introducing a new RESTful API for storage provisioning and support for SONAS environments. This will allow upward-integration to products like [IBM Service Delivery Manager] and [Tivoli Storage Automation Manager].
Mike also explained the new TPC 5.1 packaging. Instead of having a variety of components like "TPC for Disk", "TPC for Data", and "TPC for Replication", the new packaging simplifies this down to two levels of functionality. The basic level supports block-level devices, including disk performance, replication and SAN fabric management. The advanced level adds support for files and databases, including support for Cloud management such as SONAS environments.
Dan Zehnpfennig, Solution Architect, talked about his experiences installing TPC 5.1 and how this was much improved over previous TPC versions.
- Insights - TPC 5.1 integrates COGNOS reporting, which allows custonmization of reports and ad-hoc exploration and analysis.

- IBM Watson: How it Works and What it Means for Society Beyond Winning Jeopardy!
IBM Watson: How it Works, and What it means for Society beyond winning Jeopardy!View more presentations from Tony Pearson on the IBM Expert Network.
I presented how IBM Watson works, how it played the Jeopardy! game show last year, and how IBM has helped clients use the technology to solve real-world problems.
- Understanding the IBM Grand Challenge, how it compares to the IBM Deep Blue chess playing computer
- How IBM Watson works, the hardware, the software, and the algorithms involved
- How to build your own "Watson Jr." in your own basement, based on my [popular instructions I published last year].
- Examples of how the technology is being used in Healthcare and Financial Services
If you missed it, I will be repeating this session on IBM Watson on Thursday.
Tonight we have the grand opening reception of the Solution Center and a concert featuring Grace Potter & the Nocturnals!

Skip to comments.Hiking the Redwoods with California's 'Squatchers
Posted on 11/23/2011 10:30:24 AM PST by dragonblustar
Amateur researchers in the United States continue to eagerly search for the mysterious creature known as Bigfoot, staking out California's redwood forests at night in their hunt for the elusive beast. Despite many claimed sightings, the existence of Sasquatch has never been proven. Yet that hasn't stopped the obsessed from pursuing his giant footprints.
(Excerpt) Read more at spiegel.de ...
And no reported findings of a dead/dying specimen, ever ... would almost make one skeptical.
Maybe they bury them deep in the woods then cover the graves with leaves......
That myth/hoax was busted so long ago yet it keeps popping up like a bad penny.
That's true but there are those Helen Thomas sightings...... Where people see something they just can't explain.
Question, if you eat a big foot that doesn't exist are you hungry again in an hour?
Its a bit like Global Warming but makes for a better camp fire story.
Show me hair samples, fur samples, photos of dens, scat, evidence of birth, death, skeletal remains, living tissue, DNA, teeth, skulls, video, captured specimens.
|Send FReepmail if you want on/off the SANTA CЯUZ COUNTY CA ping list
|This is why we can't have nice things
|The List of Ping Lists
One can become skeptical due to a lack of Bigfoot bodies until one realizes that their bodies are picked up by their compatriots in flying saucers and whisked away to the planet Bolok for burial.
Maybe they need to camp out at night on the lawn of the White House. Quite a few sightings around there the last 3 years.
I know the Creature From The Black Lagoon resides inside and masks itself as the First Lady.
Busted? When and how? Source, please.
2 New York State Troopers chased a Bigfoot in Whitehall, NY a few years back.
That's where I'm torn. There are some credible witnesses, like that of UFO sightings, but the real evidence is lacking....
I thought I saw a BigFoot once. Turned out to be my bro's wife.
I don't know. I'll have to look into that.
It is almost like an evolutionist, you never see anything evolving - no tails - nothing. I am sure those suckers have to go to the bathroom sometimes, no piles of anything any where. We can find dinosaur droppings but not big foot!
I think I dated a female one once.....
I remember all the hoo-ha about Sasquach, bigfoot, whatever years ago and this story in the news. It's finally on-line via the wikipedia--that's how mundane it's become.
Note the section on "Hoaxes" as well.
True, but only to young'uns who had never heard of it. Then it would be a FABULOUS story to tell, just before bedtime.....ooooo
"Or perhaps the greys pick them up and bury them on the moon."
Shhhh! The Lunarians are watching us.
About 30 years ago, at Urquhart Castle, on the banks of Loch Ness, we saw Nessie...swimming near the surface...took pics...can't show them...the film, for those slides only, were overexposed non-photos. Apparently Nessie has X-ray vision, and that is why we have never seen any clear photos. / :)
Thanks dragonblustar, and welcome back!
Yeah I was stuck on the same thins. There is a site that people register their stories and they investigate. BFRO.NET
I have read through many of these reports. And frankly people are seeing these creatures, there are too many, too many places, all describing a similar creature. I look at it this way. It is not so much the likelihood there is a creature, the more stronger evidence to me is..... there are not enough people willing to be pranksters and write false reports.
Think about it. Like I know probably 700 people by name and of those I would say maybe 7-8 are people that enjoy a good prank. But out of that group I know no one that would go as far as filing false reports in order to prank people. I would bet your odds are about the same. I love pranks, and I have extremely LOW inhibitions.... (and i dont drink :) and frankly I would not ever write a false report for a prank.
So that means literally 1000's of people that have reported seeing these things, are either liars, crazy or they have seen them.
Read some of the reports, and see if they are credible. That is my take.
Our neighborhood near Augusta, GA is hosting a new creature who likes to, as the Beatles say, "do it the road". The scat looks like dog dookie, but breaks down to reveal seed pods that we know are alien. Nothing grows in this area with seeds like this. Nothing fruits for 8 weeks in fall and is fodder for carnivores. Help!

The United States of Annoyance
There are things in life that maybe shouldn't really matter: people who don't use a turn signal when they drive, those who are texting one of their other friends when you are trying to have a conversation with them, and those who talk through an entire movie in the movie theater. Of course, I'm talking about pet peeves.
It's always the small things that seem to bug us. For me, being exposed to dreadful odors at school is quite painful. I find that every sound, touch, and scent is enhanced at school, but the smells, I find, are the most obnoxious. I have a great hypersensitivity to these things.
Another thing that annoys me is when I see people stick their gum on the bottom of their chair or desk at school. This especially annoys me when my hand or arm nicks the bottom of the desk and I accidentally touch it, feeling its gross yet soft texture.
Home has its hazards as well. For example, I do not like people to drink directly from a carton of milk, return it to the fridge, and cause me to go through my morning milk-less and quite disappointed.
I'm not quite sure what the "code of conduct" is for dealing with these things. Do I tell the person that they reek of body spray or yell at my brother who always leaves the soiled jug of milk in the refrigerator? Or am I just supposed to let it be, suck it up, and move on? What is even the point of having these pet peeves? Are they doing anything good for us? Is it just a way of coping with our angers or spite?
Take the mild discomfort to insanity causing phobic disorder misophonia. Misophonia is simply being severely bothered by annoying sounds. These sounds could include breathing, lip-smacking, and loud or bothersome eating sounds. In the presence of these tragically annoying noises, someone with misophonia can be driven into an all caps rage. This is not a thing you would want, especially if they are a person who could beat you into the ground.
So, what options do we really have left? Worse yet, what if we're a cause of irritability, which, come on, we probably are to someone. I think the best option we have is to simply stand together in our mutual botherations and pet peeveshand in hand … unless you have sweaty palms, which bothers me.
