Don't get me wrong, I am very flattered that I have received credit as a contributer to this article. But all I did was add "Morris Walters" and "Elaine Banner Walters" to the list of relatives. Somebody else wrote the main article and I do not see his credit listed anywhere...
P.S. In the original Savage She-Hulk book, Jen's mother was listed twice as "Ann." But since she has been referenced since as "Elaine" (maybe starting in Byrne's book?), it's only fair to list that as the correct name. Sort of like Jen going to UCLA law school when originally she graduated from Harvard. --Eddie Cunningham 20:07, 24 April 2006 (EDT)
This often happens for some reason. sononsj 20:08, 24 April 2006 (EDT)
Well, they managed to find a way to put my name back amongst the contributers for the Crystal article, so I'm sure there is a way to give the original author the credit they deserve. Now if only I can remember who they are...--eddiejc1 20:48, 24 April 2006 (EDT)
There is a bug in the system. It removes contributors for some reason and there is no specific reason why it is done. You could do a small edit or a major edit and it could remain or be removed and the last person that edited becomes the only name listed. --DragynWulf 23:11, 8 June 2007 (EDT) (Moderator)
In planet Hulk, Hulk wasn't that much shorter than Korg, sometimes he was his height,Korg is over eight feet tall, so Hulk would have to be at least 8 foot, Sometimes he looks as short as 7 foot, I would keep it as 7 foot to 8 foot.
There are, like, six different Hulk personalities, and this article doesn't really give that a real spotlight. Should I make another bio for the other Hulks, or does that all really fall into the Hulk (Bruce Banner) article? Spidey:Weapon X 16:08, 16 May 2006 (EDT)
Unless it's an alternate reality Hulk (i.e. Maestro), it's all the same guy, and the same profile. --MikeFichera 16:17, 16 May 2006 (EDT)
Who is Maestro, and what universe is he from?--abcdefghijklmno 18:52, 1 August 2006 (EDT)
Can someone tell me who the Devil Hulk is hes hulks dark side of supressed anger if u have tha game u know wat i mean-User:tarhaun
I thought that the angrier Hulk got, the heavier/taller he got. So shouldn't his weight/height be listed as "variable"? sononsj 19:48, 16 May 2006 (EDT)
So? If anything, that supports what I said. sononsj 17:32, 17 June 2006 (EDT)
I don't think so. Unless I'm mistaken, that was only in the movie. In the Planet Hulk prelude, Hulk was getting angrier but remained the same size as the other guy who was matching his size was becoming huge. I don't think so, but then, I'm not the authority.--Spidey:Weapon X 13:42, 18 June 2006 (EDT)
Does anyone think he's a little over weight? Sulfur 20:46, 24 2006 (EDT) well that was fun writing that stuff...weeeee (sarcasticalymundo)
Yeah, I'd say he's a little overweight... but I'm not going to be the one to tell him! ;-) --Lonesome Pinky 06:12, 4 August 2006 (EDT)
id rather tell kingpin that hes overweight but then again hulk cant understand full sentences sometimes so.....02:11, 11 August 2006 (EDT)02:11, 11 August 2006 (EDT)spiderman12901
7 foot 8 as green hulk? Depending on which artist is drawing I'd say hulk averages at around 10 foot. Were not talking Lou Ferringo here were talking about the "incredible' hulk. In the Ultimate Wolverine VS Hulk he must have been around 15 feet tall.
Yeah, but that's Ultimate Hulk. Maybe the regular Hulk is shorter. Besides, his hight varies by artist. VenomHulk
The listed height and weight is indeed correct as shown in Offical Handbook of the Marvel Universe entry. --DragynWulf 23:11, 8 June 2007 (EDT) (Moderator)
Ok, but what about since the end of Planet Hulk? His stats must have changed since then. He definitely got bigger and stronger. Beacuse of that nuclear explotion, alot of Hulk's official stats needs to be brought up to date. VenomHulk
Also, I have a Marvel Spider-Man encylopedia and the Hulk is listed there. It says that the his intelligence is next to first, his speed is next to last, his endurance and strength is top, his fighting skills are at a four, and that he has no energy projection. What's up? VenomHulk
how did hulk control his personality iv always seen him in comics smashing everything in sight but know the avengers acepted him to be on thair team. spiderman12901 21:55, 7 July 2006 (EDT)~
Different writers have given the Hulk different levels of intelligence. In short, sometimes the Hulk is as smart as a mentally challenged toddler, and sometimes he's as smart as the average person.--Spidey:Weapon X 14:29, 10 July 2006 (EDT)
oh so its like varyable spiderman12901 00:47, 4 August 2006 (EDT)
Hulk real name isl isted on most marvel products as 'Robert Bruce Banner' but here it is listed as Robert "Bruce" Banner, is it right?
"Robert Bruce Banner" is the correct real name, not "Robert "Bruce" Banner". --DragynWulf 23:11, 8 June 2007 (EDT) (Moderator)
Some of the early Hulk appearances had him going by "Bob", short for Robert ---mickeys4life 14:10, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
Was it a nickname and not a alias he went under I mean the "Rob" name. If it was just a nickname then it should be in the alias section in brackets. All nicknames go in brackets but all other alias are writen normally. --Wezqu 15:31, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
With world war hulk on the rise, the question remains who could take down this new hulk? I think house of m hulk could take him. I know there in different universe's but still it would be awesome!

America's "reality check" on U.S. women religious
Finally, some fact-based, non-ideological claims about U.S. women religious. In response to the repeated (and "patently false"claims), mostly by conservative Catholics, that the more traditional and conservative orders of women religious, those who make up the membership of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR), are thriving, while the orders who make up the membership of the LCWR, are seeing their numbers decline, America reports that the actual picture of U.S. women religious is far more interesting and nuanced than their numbers might otherwise indicate.
The sociologist authors write: "We believe that the church and the U.S. public deserve an accurate picture, devoid of distortions, ideology and fatalism, of the complex demographics of religious institutes. These demographics are among the most serious issues facing religious life throughout the universal church. A discussion of them demands the greatest precision and sensitivity for the sake of the future of individual institutes, each of which has been entrusted by the Holy Spirit with a unique charism and mission, and which prayerfully deals with issues of revitalization in their general chapters and other deliberative bodies."
According to the joint study by the National Religious Vocations Council and CARA, both LCWR and CMSWR orders drawing equal numbers. Still, "The vast majority of both L.C.W.R. and C.M.S.W.R. institutes do not have large numbers of new entrants. Instead of focusing a media spotlight on a few institutes and generalizing inaccurately from them, it is essential to probe what is happening across the entire spectrum of institutes to understand the full complexity of religious life in the United States today."

Car plows into crowd at scene of fatal shooting
Updated 4:27 pm, Thursday, May 8, 2014
One man died and another was wounded Wednesday afternoon when gunfire erupted at an apartment complex in southeast Houston.
The shooting occurred about 12:30 p.m. at 6060 Belarbor near South Wayside, according to the Houston Police Department. But the scene
Police said initial reports indicate the gunfire may have been connected to a fight, but no motive has yet been determined. Also, no information was available about a possible suspect.
Homicide investigators were dispatched to the scene.
After the shooting, at about 4:30 p.m., a silver car drove into a crowd of people at the scene as local TV news cameras rolled. The scary scene was caught on video (watch it above).
When the car stopped, officers took the driver into custody. A female passenger was also inside.
At this time, there is no further information on the driver and passenger, or why the driver apparently tried to run over people. It's unclear if anyone was injured.

Chiefs reportedly leaning toward firing Scott Pioli - SB Nation Kansas City
Printable View
It will be a great New Year my friends.
i hope adam scheftner is right
I don't see how they can let him stay. It's about performance and fans in seats. He hasn't performed, and the fans made a statement. I think he'll be gone.
Agreed pioli cant keel his job by getting rid of crennel
Now that the NYG season is over, maybe Clark interviews Marc Ross as our next GM.
Pioli isnt the coach. Don't be shocked if Pioli is left in place and Crennel is shown the door. The GM position entails a lot of responsibilities, but coaching isn't one of them.
This team clearly has talent, we have 7 players headed to the Pro Bowl if you include the alternates. If Pioli is fired, it won't be because of the product you see on the field. It will be because everyone within the organization wants him to gone, aka not a good cultural fit.

SOMERSWORTH — The Somersworth High School football team has relied on its strong running game all season, and on Friday night another big-time ground effort wrapped up the No. 1 seed in Division V.
Senior Josh Ream ran for a pair of touchdowns and 137 yards, including the 1,000th of the season, to lead the Hilltoppers to a 35-7 win over Pelham on Friday night.
"All I have to do is find the holes and try to turn on the wheels, which happens sometimes," Ream said with a laugh. "Sometimes, I get a little tired out. But we have the weekend to enjoy it. On Monday it's back to business."
With the win, Somersworth clinched the top spot in the upcoming playoffs and home-field advantage for as long as they survive. The Hilltoppers will host No. 4 Stevens (5-3) next Saturday for a chance at its first championship-game appearance since 2004. Kurtis Michaud ran for 94 yards and two touchdowns for Somersworth, which improved to 7-1.
"It was a good game all around," Somersworth coach Dan Hodsdon said. "Everyone knew what was at stake in this game and the kids responded really well. It was good to get out of here with a win and the No. 1 seed."
Somersworth quarterback Drew Francoeur was 3 for 6 passing for 54 yards. He had a 42-yard run midway through the third quarter that set up the Hilltoppers' fourth touchdown of the night and was 3 for 4 on point-after attempts.
"We all know we have to work now," Francoeur said. "It's all hard work from here on out. We have to get mentally prepared and physically prepared for these playoffs coming up."
The Hilltopper defense, anchored by senior Tyler Kretschmar, held Pelham scoreless save for a garbage-time touchdown in the fourth quarter. Somersworth forced the Pythons to go three-and-out four times and four-and-out on one occasion.
Ream passed the 1,000-yard mark with a 14-yard gain in the fourth quarter, which set up a 9-yard touchdown run by Michaud.
"He's been a great asset to our team," Hodsdon said. "He runs hard and he's a great player."
Ream opened the scoring on Somersworth's first possession with a 7-yard strike, set up by Michaud's 20-yard scamper the previous play. Nick Honaker scored on a 9-yard run midway through the second quarter to cap an efficient six-play drive. Francoeur hit Michaud in the back of the end zone for the 2-point conversion and a 15-0 lead, which is where it stood at halftime.
Three plays after a punt gave Somersworth the ball at the visitors' 29-yard line, Michaud scored his first touchdown of the night to stake the Hilltoppers to a 21-0 lead with three minutes elapsed in the second half.
Somersworth scored quickly on its next possession, which Ream capped with a 15-yard run for a touchdown. On the previous play, Francoeur swept outside on second down for a 42-yard gain. Somersworth led 28-0 after three quarters.
"They're the real deal," first-year Pelham coach Ryan Clark said about Somersworth. "They are very solid on both sides of the ball, they play hard. Hats off to those guys, they definitely have a chance to win the whole thing."
The Hilltoppers made it a rout on their first series of the fourth quarter, Michaud had three touches for 41 yards on the drive, including a 9-yard score with 10:19 to go in the game.
Pelham's lone score came on a 1-yard run by Chadd Loring, which came against Somersworth's second-string defense. Most of the final frame was played with running time after the Hilltoppers went up by five touchdowns.
Now Somersworth shifts its focus to Stevens.
"We have a lot to work on and clean up," Hodsdon said. "We talk about the little things, and the penalties and the fumbles have to go away in the second season, because that's not going to fly."

German publication heise online has word that QUAKE is now legal to publicly sell in Germany after being cleared by the BPjM, Germany's Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons. The game was previously "indexed" as being harmful to minors, but the article notes that such decisions can be appealed after 10 years, and id's 1996 first-person shooter was apparently cleared due to the historical significance of some of its technical breakthroughs. If our understanding of the translation is correct, Zenimax is also seeking to appeal the in indexing of the Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity QUAKE expansions. Thanks Joystiq.

The pair are about 20" tall.
Each is on a wooden stand.
There are no marks on the base of the vases.
I have seen similar shaped lidded vases in antique books; but they are only about 6" tall. The similar smaller vase is described as a Chinese Tea Caddy. The shape is almost identical to the smaller one I saw, and both are perfectly formed with no cracks. The material feels as though it is clay (not porcelain); the little information I have got through research suggests the clay helps to preserve the tea in good condition.
They also have scenes that show a fishing party, one person drinking (tea, I presume) and another person holding up a receptacle for a bird to drink from.
This has led me to believe that they are a matching pair of tea caddies made for a Tea Shop or a large house.
Maybe one of you can tell me if I am correct, what age they are, and any other information that would help me do further research.

Buildings Host Birthday Party
MINSTER — The Minster Historical Society celebrated the 100th birthday of two Fourth Street buildings Saturday with a new program.
The first installment of "A Look at Yesterday in Minster" focused on the Kramer Building and the Crescent Theater, both of which were built in 1912. Minster Historical Museum Curator Mary Oldiges said members of the historical society, which encourages the preservation of the older buildings in Minster, researched the history of the two downtown buildings.
"The history of the two buildings was really interesting to research," Oldiges told The Evening Leader. "You get to watch the progression and see them go through five generations. It's nice to see them still in use today."
Pictures and text documenting the history of the two buildings were on display for area residents to explore and reminisce.
Frantz Joseph Stallo was the first owner of lot 37, one of 144 lots in his collection. He built a log cabin on the lot. In 1912, Mr. Haverbeck owned and lived on the land, and room was made for the Kramer Company building to be constructed. Kramer Company held its grand opening on March 15, 1913, and sold dry goods and groceries on the east side of the building and hardware on the west side of the building.
Throughout its history, the Kramer Building was also home to N.H. Grogean Supply Store, Minster Furniture and Midmark Corporation of Minster before the village of Minster purchased the building for the F.J. Stallo Memorial Library in 1975.
At the time, the library occupied the east side of the building, while professional offices occupied the west side of the building. In 2004, the building underwent a major renovation, combining the two sides to give the library more space.
For 5 cents a week, Minster residents could join the Crescent Club, a group of young men who met in a South Main Street room. In 1903, the Crescent Club purchased a North Main Street building before purchasing a movie projector in 1907 and showing movies to the public at the Columbia Opera House.
On Dec. 8, 1912, the Crescent Theater opened and showed a variety of movies in its history and was also home to a slew of barber shops, including Alex T. Frey's Barber Shop, Fred Schmieder's Barber Shop and Donauer's Barber Shop.
"This is nice that people can come in this building that they haven't seen in 40 years," Oldiges said of the Crescent Theater.
Oldiges said she enjoyed putting together the exhibit.
"It's neat to see all the changes over time," she said.
Throughout the morning, visitors could enjoy a piece of birthday cake at the library and had a chance to win a selection of door prizes at the theater.
Oldiges noted the Minster Historical Society is currently seeking artifacts and pictures for its Fourth Street exhibit, and anyone with pictures or artifacts they are willing to put on display can contact Oldiges at 419-628-3164.

Due to the need of some original pictures in this blog, I had bought a Sony Ericsson K770i mobile phone. Before this I only use VGA mobile pone (Motorola V36) because I don't see a need to have a mobile phone with better camera performance.
At Mac 2010, you can get K770i for not more than RM500. But to get the 5MP original C901, the cost is not less than RM780 (at Mac 2010). Although the prices is much higher than K770i, I doubt that the camera performance will be a lot better. On the other hand, no matter how big the resolution is, at last I will convert it to 500 pixels at most (for blog post). That's why I choose K770i, the 3.2MP camera already make me satisfied.
That's the first rule for choosing mobile phone. Know your needs and budget.

State champs
Rye Little Leaguers are state champions, headed to Conn.By JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 24. 2013 8:47PM
MANCHESTER— Rye manager Ron King always knew he had a confident team. He just never imagined it would nearly score 20 runs in a deciding championship game.
"No, not even close, but it was sure fun to watch," he said after Rye, behind homers from Max Malila and Dylan Chase, surged to a convincing 19-7 victory over Salem for the New Hampshire Little League 11-12-year-old State Baseball Tournament championship at Manchester Central Little League's Sam Harris Field Monday before 400 fans. The teams had split the first two games of the best-of-three series.
Rye earns a New England Regional berth to Bristol, Conn., which begins Aug. 2.
"It's a overwhelming feeling to be state champs," said King. "This is the goal we set for ourselves before we played our first game. To do it is an incredible feeling. I'm just proud of the entire team."
Rye never trailed in the game, scoring in each inning including five times in the second inning for a 7-2 lead.
Perhaps the key hit in the entire game came off the bat of third baseman Calvin Kobylikski with one out in the second inning. Rye had just scored three runs on a hits batsman with the bases loaded, Matt Leger's RBI fielder's choice and Spencer Leger's infield hit which produced a 5-2 lead.
That's when Kobylinski delivered two more runs with a hard line drive double to center, pushing the lead to 7-2.
"Probably the biggest hit of the game," said Salem manager Dean Borrelli. "To be down by three runs in the second inning is not that bad. To be down by five, that's something else. It seemed from that point on like they never stopped scoring runs."
Down five, Salem's offense went quietly down in the home second. Rye's offense kept clicking in the third inning when Malila belted a one-out, solo homer to center for an 8-2 bulge.
The Rye lead was cut in half when starting and losing pitcher Jake Delaney of Salem launched a three-run homer to right centerfield with Matt Soldano and Jake Emerson aboard in the home third.
Suddenly it appeared the momentum was shifting when Salem threatened for more with runners on second and third. But starting and winning pitcher Dylan King retired the last two batters on a pop-out to short and a liner back to the box, keeping Rye's lead to 8-5.
Rye restored its six-run cushion in the fourth inning when, with two runners on, Joe Nadeau drilled a single to left scoring Matt Leger. The Salem outfielder mis-played the ball allowing Spencer Leger to score and an errant throw to second to get Nadeau sailed into centerfield allowing Nadeau to scamper home for the 11-5 lead.
Rye kept the pressure on in the fifth inning, extending its lead to 13-5 on a two-run homer by Chase. Later in the inning, a bases-loaded walk to Nadeau and an RBI single by Nick Guerin pushed Rye out to a 15-5 lead.
"Nothing seemed to go right for us," said Borrelli. "We made some mistakes on defense and they capitalized on them. Leaving two runners on after Delaney's homer got us to within three runs was huge. You just have to tip your cap off to Rye. At the same time, there's no shame finishing runner-up in the state. I'm proud of my team."
Rye will take a few days to enjoy this win and then they'll begin to focus on Bristol and the regionals.

The collection of Nuggets at Pepsi Center during pre-draft workouts has grown by the session the past two weeks. Thursday, guard Nate Robinson was added to the group.
Robinson, rehabbing a torn anterior cruciate ligament, said he is still on track to be ready for training camp. He's not doing any basketball-related activities now other than some shooting on the side. He anticipates that changing this summer.
"Hopefully August," Robinson said of his return. "I'm trying to sway the doctors to give me a little more leeway."
Robinson smiled while saying that. He knows speeding up the timeline on his rehab process probably won't happen, and he's fine with that. When he returns, he wants to be back to fully with no restrictions, and though the 5-foot-9 mighty mite is revved up and ready to go right now, he also wants to have no setbacks.
"For me it's just, I can't really wait to play," Robinson said. "It's been a long time."
Robinson, who last played Jan. 29, is one of three Denver players dealing with ACL injuries. J.J. Hickson and Danilo Gallinari are the others.
Footnotes. The Nuggets conducted their latest pre-draft workouts Thursday, putting Clemson forward K.J. Daniels and Delaware forward Davon Usher through the paces. Earlier in the week, the Nuggets traveled to see Michigan guard Nik Stauskas and Creighton forward Doug McDermott, a three-time consensus All-American. ... The Nuggets might have one more workout before the NBA draft next Thursday.

**I am temporarily closing the giveaway to new entries until I get caught up on the ones I have and get everyone that has tried to enter entered. I will post a reply stating that entries are closed for now and any new entry after that will be disregarded until reopened**
*I am working on creating a spreadsheet of guesses so that it will be easier for me to determine the winner. I am going to be quoting replies as I add them to the spreadsheet so that I can capture what guess I have for each person.

Kingston : Fast bowler Fidel Edwards will replace injured left-arm seamer Sheldon Cotterell in the West Indies A team for their current series against India A.
Cotterell was forced to pull out of the tour after suffering from pain in his left knee Wednesday.
"It was a devastating blow when we found out that Sheldon was injured and could not play. He is one of the most promising quick bowlers we have in the West Indies," team manager Lockhart Sebastien said.
"We were looking forward to seeing him perform well on this tour for the West Indies A team, but unfortunately he has been ruled out due to injury."
Cotterrell was named in both the limited-overs and four-day squads but did not play any of the three one-dayers or the one-off T20.
He was not in the XI for the first unofficial Test set to enter its second day in Mysore Thursday.
"He was impressive in recent months, especially in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and this was a great chance for him to show his skills again," said Sebastien.
"We are still confident we have the bowlers to do the job and we expect the team to continue doing well on this tour."
Edwards last played for the West Indies during the tour of Bangladesh late last year.
He didn`t feature in the West Indies` home international season this year but played the CPL, in which he took nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul.

Hot Seat Becomes Electric Chair for Amato
Things went from really bad to "it's just a matter of time" for embattled NC State coach Chuck Amato after his Wolfpack-it-ins' embarrassing loss to the above-mentioned Zips. So don't listen to what Chuck or the NC State administration say at this point. The only question is will he get the ax before the season ends or after? We're betting before.
Thus, this officially begins the Chuck Amato Watch here at the MZone. Leave us your prediction when he'll get the boot.

I say he makes it to the end of the year. NC State is a basketball school first and foremost in the basketball mad ACC. Now don't get me wrong, if he has another losing record this year he's gone. If he can pull out a bowl game they might chalk it up to rebuilding and keep him. Regardless I say he's gone at the end of the season.

id say after they lose to Maryland. the win over the Terps last year put them in a bowl game- this year, when they lose to them (and yes, it is WHEN), Chuck will get chucked by NC State. so yea, id say the day after the game, October 22nd. though i might be biased, i DO have a twin brother at Maryland...

An interesting tidbit - Lou Holtz used to coach at NC State.

Chuck's not going anywhere. But thanks for caring. Tammy Bowden's and The Fridge's seats are hotter.

What a horrible loss to Akron.
Sheesh, right in front of your home crowd!
May God both bless and curse the parity we now find within college football.

I hate the Tiggers more than anyone, but to think Tammy's on a hotter hotseat than whiny, cry-baby voice Amato is a freaking joke. They freakin' worship the ground Tammy walks on in Tigertown. Why? I could only guess it has to do with good recruits (an overrated kid named Korn anyone?), a decent track record (not as god as Ford's though or one of the fired coaches in recent times), and he fits the Tiger coach profile (swagger, big promises, a fan's coach- stops by to help fans eat 'que on game day, etc.) and he likes sheep. Still, who cares about the ACC.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Alan Chartock: Election day raises fears and questions
Here comes one of the most important American elections in history. In fact, this election may well determine the future of our country. Great democracies have often devolved into political systems that are anything but democratic. That's why this election is so crucial. A Republican Supreme Court has put us on a very dangerous road to a place where those with the most can buy their way to controlling the political process. If Mitt Romney wins, that court will become more conservative.
Also, if you posit a Romney win, several troubling questions arise.
Will we have a Medicare system that has done such a wonderful job for those over 65? Will we have an America that invests in its children and its education, or will we have a Mitt Romney America where we build more billion-dollar submarines, create wars in which to use them, and go down the road that Dwight David Eisenhower, the U.S. Army general and Repub lican president, warned us against?
Will the Supreme Court become the permanent bastion of right-wing Republican troglodytes who will med dle in American rights and trans form our Constitution from a model of protections to a system of oppression?
Will women and religious minorities lose their rights? Will equal protection under the law be forgotten?
When that great American, George McGovern, died the other day, we were all reminded that the only state he carried was ours. He may have been one of the last American politicians who cared more about what was right than about winning elections. I remember the bumper stickers so well: "Don't blame me: I'm from Massachusetts."
The polls show it may go either way and I'm scared to death.
Here in Massachusetts, we have a crucial senatorial election, Elizabeth Warren versus incumbent Scott Brown. Look, you don't have to love Warren, all you have to understand is that it may come down to a perfect hat-trick for the Republicans in which they will control the House, the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court. A Warren win may be the difference between Repub lican control of the Senate and continuance of the Democratic majority. This election is so close that clear Republican efforts at voter suppression may determine the outcome.
The other thing that will count is voter turnout. We saw what happened in Florida in Bush v. Gore, where just a few votes made a tremendous difference. We send teams to foreign countries to make sure that they run fair elections, but increasingly there are hints that there is dirty work afoot here at home.
A wonderful new eatery has opened in Great Barrington, and it is just what the doctor ordered. The more good restaurants, the more Great Barrington draws tourists and other county residents.
The new restaurant, one of a newer class of restaurants called "gastro pubs," is named "Bell and Anchor." Owner Mark Firth is an engaging young man with a British accent who made his place in culinary excellence in Brooklyn. He was a principal owner of "The Diner," which quickly grew in prominence as the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn became the hottest place for everyone ranging from hipsters to the urban wealthy.
It is our good fortune that Firth, his wife, Bettina Schwartz, and their beautiful children have moved to the Berkshires, where he farms and raises animals that often end up on your table. Everything in the restaurant is beautiful, and no expense has been spared to make it a comfortable place to be. Mark brought Chef Stephen Browning with him, and it's obvious the guy has culinary genius qualities.

The Laws of Thermodynamics describe the behavior of energy. These laws are extremely useful for determining the energy output of science fiction devices.
First Law: Conservation of Energy
The total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant. Energy can be changed into different forms or even into matter (or the reverse), but the total remains the same.
This means that if you do 100 Joules of work to lift a rock, 100 Joules of energy had to come from your body to do it, and some of that energy remains in the rock as gravitational potential energy.
Second Law: Entropy
If no energy enters or leaves a system during a change in energy state, the potential energy of the system will always be less after the change than it was before the change.
This means that when you do 100 Joules of work by lifting the rock, the amount of gravitational potential energy added to the rock is less than 100 Joules, the excess becoming wasted heat energy that you can't reuse for rock-lifting.
Analysis Use
The Laws of Thermodynamics, especially the First Law, are commonly used for determining the power of science fiction weapons and power sources. By estimating the amount of work done when a weapon destroys an object in a show or movie, you can determine the minimum amount of energy that the weapon transferred to the target. Similarly, if you can determine the mass and change in velocity of a space ship, you can determine minimum power output (and consumption) of its propulsion system.
Trollish debaters often try to find excuses to dismiss the laws of thermodynamics when its implications are not compatible with their preferred conclusions. For instance, the laws of thermodynamics dictate that blasting an Earth-like planet apart requires at least 10E+32 Joules of work to overcome it's gravitational binding energy and a million times more to blast the planet in a fraction of a second. Trolls who dislike what the numbers say about the firepower of a weapon capable of destroying a planet try to invent reasons why the weapon could have accomplished the task with less energy.
Abuse of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is a favorite tactic of creationists, who like to claim that it prevents the organization of chemicals into complex organic structures.

Big hole, big price tag
"This is a big hole," Catawba Valley Community College President Garrett Hinshaw told county commissioners Tuesday.
The sinkhole that opened up July 27 in a drive and parking area at the school's main campus on U.S. 70 is also coming with a hefty price tag, Hinshaw said.
With estimates of up to $1.5 million to fix the sinkhole and replace a deteriorated corrugated pipe that may have led to the problems following heavy rains, Hinshaw said he's hoping for funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and from an insurance claim on the pipe.
To read more of this story, pick up the Wednesday edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

The first day of the Spring semester at Kinston High School was an unplanned half-day.
Kinston Assistant Public Services Director Steve Miller, said the school's transformer blew. Students were in the dark around 10:30AM on their first day back in the 2012-2013 Spring semester. Miller said the transformer did not catch fire, cause any damage to the school, and only affected power at the school.
Lenoir County Schools spokeswoman Lidia Guzman said the cafeteria could not operate and serve students lunch, so the decision was made to release them early from school.
Guzman was told the transformer would take nearly six hours to repair, and students should be able to return to school on Thursday.

PLYMOUTH — Whether it was the Environmental Fair in front of the Hartman Union Building or just down the road at the its EcoHouse, Plymouth State University was a hot spot for Earth Day activities.
Earth Day, celebrated Tuesday, has become an annual event to have a number of off-campus and on-campus environmental organizations set up shop and interact with students, faculty and others interested in their initiatives. The fair was set up by Common Ground, which is PSU's environmental and social justice student organization.
It included a variety of environmentally-based displays from organizations including Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, Plymouth Conservation Commission, Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative, Squam Lakes Association and KTM Auto, who brought vegetable oil-powered vehicles for display. PSU's organizations included the Science Society, Center for the Environment, Office for Environmental Sustainability, Center for Rural Partnerships, Physical Plant, which focused on energy conservation and recycling, Sodexo, which is the university's dining services, and Common Ground.
The free event went on throughout the day, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending around 2 p.m. Only a few raindrops fell throughout what was an otherwise beautiful day on campus, which was fortunate for the Office of Environmental Sustainability, who were using solar power to make smoothies for people walking by.
Lindsey Bandoian, a junior at PSU and a member of the Office for Environmental Sustainability, explained that her group created a solar power module. The parts were from theinverterstore.com, and Bandoian explained that it was made with a basic 60 watt panel that gets its energy from the sun. It also included an inverter that translates the electric current from DC to AC power, and a charge controller that tells the amount of amps and voltage received from the sun.
Because it will not receive as much power on cloudy days, Bandoian said, it has a backup battery charge.
Bandoian said that the Office for Environmental Sustainability will be setting up the smoothie station at Earth Jam on Saturday, but that this is a brand new endeavor. She said that it took most of a Saturday, with the help of PAREI, to build the module.
"About a month ago, we really tried to brainstorm ideas for Earth Day," Bandoian said. "The majority of times we try to take part in events like Recycle Mania, which is a competition between other colleges to see who recycles the most. This was a hands-on project. It went well."
Betsy Ayotte of the Center for Environment explained that the center promotes environmental research and outreach throughout the Lakes Region and northern New Hampshire. At the fair, they were taking Earth Day pledges, where they asked people to write down a pledge on a construction paper leaf and put it up on a tree with others.
"We are all at different places in terms of what we do for the environment," Ayotte said. "It's been a little variety from just starting to recycle to putting solar in their home."
Ayotte felt that in recent years, people seem to be paying much more attention to the environment, but added that there are extra challenges. She said that PSU has been working hard to try to move in environmentally-green directions, including being a water bottle-less campus.
Kevin Maass, the owner of KTM Auto in Plymouth, brought three diesel vehicles to the fair that used a waste vegetable oil fuel system. He explained that they are originally diesel vehicles that have been converted to run on frialator grease.
It is a duel fuel system, so the original diesel tank, fuel filter and diesel fuel system is in the car and parallel to it is a heated vegetable oil system. He explained that the filter, tank and line is heated so it can be used four seasons. The vehicle is primarily started and shut down on the diesel, and after the vehicle warms up, it can be flipped over to frialator grease. He said that anytime the grease temperature is in the 60s or 70s, there is no reason to purge and it can just start right up.
The vehicle retains the same fuel mileage it had before the conversion, he said.
"The 15 gallon fuel tank in the back is 750 miles of frialator grease for free," Maass said.
Maass explained that the diesel engine was originally created to run on frialator grease, created by Rudolf Diesel. He said that Diesel believed that all farmers should be able to grow their own fuel and that a farmer from North Dakota shouldn't be getting oil from another location. In 1912, he told the United States that they could avoid foreign oil dependencies through this practice, but it was not accepted.
Then, in 2004, Maass bought an $800 Volkswagen Diesel and bought 5 gallons of brand new corn oil off the shelf.
"I proceeded to go right into the parking lot and pour it in my car," Maass said. "There was an old man next to me with a World War II hat on. He asked me what the hell I was doing, and I told him I was putting frialator grease in my car because I was going to drive home. He said, 'Is it a diesel?' I told him yeah, and he said 'Oh, neat!' It was totally accepted by this 80-year-old man in the Shop and Save Parking lot, and I proceeded to drive home without doing anything to the vehicle, and it drove on grease."
The rest was history for Maass, and he said that he has converted more than 70 vehicles locally and beyond.
Down the road, at the EcoHouse, Common Ground President Sam Durfee was working on building a greenhouse from an existing shed that will have hundreds of plants. Since Friday, they used materials from D Acres in Dorchester, as well as Re-Store in Holderness.
He called the EcoHouse a "living laboratory" that has kicked off in the past several years. Adjunct Professor Steve Whitman started a class called Permaculture Design, which sparked people's interests. It is organized by Whitman and Brian Eisenhauer.
The EcoHouse is home to nine students from a variety of majors, according to Whitman. He explained that the university started it in 2008 as a residential, experimental location on campus.
"Most of the projects done here have been designed and built here by students," Whitman said. "Whatever people's level of interest is, they are welcome to explore."

Reds Mourn Death Of Scout Brian Wilson
CINCINNATI - Prior to this afternoons 1:15 p.m. game against the Chicago White Sox at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds will have a moment of silence for Brian Wilson, a scouting supervisor in Texas who died last night of a heart attack.
Wilson, 33, is survived in Albany, Texas by his wife, Prairie, and daughters 11-year-old Carson, 10-year-old Conor and 8-year-old Curry.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
The Cincinnati Reds family mourns the loss of an excellent scout, wonderful husband and loving father, said Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky. In his 13 seasons in the organization, Brian touched many people inside and outside of baseball. He will truly be missed. We send our most heartfelt condolences to Brians family and friends.
Wilson was signed by the Reds as an infielder in the 33rd round of the June 1994 free-agent draft and in 3 minor league seasons appeared in 237 games for Billings, Charleston (WV) and Winston-Salem.
He joined the scouting staff after his playing career ended in 1996 and signed the organizations 2 most recent No. 1 draft picks, OF Jay Bruce in 2005 and OF Drew Stubbs this season

General Electric (NYSE:GE)
"Like most Americans, GE would prefer a simpler tax code and we support a lower statutory corporate tax rate, closing loopholes, and adoption of territorial tax system even if it means higher taxes for companies like GE," reads the message in my inbox from GE spokesman Seth Martin.
Despite striking a deal over the budget Tuesday night, Congress is still expected to battle over corporate tax reform ahead of the confrontation over the federal borrowing limit, better known as the debt ceiling. A showdown is expected to occur in two months' time, when Congress will have to increase the limit or risk a US default.
As a champion of loophole exploitation and tax evasion, General Electric will take a keen interest in shaping the debate over corporate tax reform. So when GE says it wants to simplify things and maybe even pay higher taxes, it behooves us to ask -- uh -- what's the catch there, GE?
The catch is that GE is willing to risk paying just a bit more so it can stop asking Congress for a favor every couple of years and risk being turned down.
GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt told Charlie Rose last month he believes the plan known as Simpson-Bowles is "a great starting point" for tax reform.
That plan would reduce the maximum corporate tax rate, known as the "statutory" rate, to 29% from its current 35% level. It would also adopt a "territorial" tax system, meaning companies would not pay US taxes on profits earned abroad.
One problem with this plan, argues Robert McIntyre, Director of Citizens for Tax Justice, is that GE is especially adept at moving US profits overseas.
"It's money they make in the United States but they claim it's foreign" by using "arcane provisions in the tax code," McIntyre says.
GE saved $8.8 billion on "lower-taxed global operations" from 2009-2011, according to its latest 10-K. The company also made a decision in 2009 "to indefinitely reinvest prior-year earnings outside the US," according to the 10-K.

Sen. Sacco releases plan to improve public safety after fatal bus accident
In the wake of the tragic accident that claimed the life of an 8-month-old North Bergen resident Angelie Parades, State Sen. Nicholas Sacco is outlining a plan that he believes will improve public safety and crack down on jitney buses in Hudson County.
Sacco has long been a proponent of increased scrutiny on the commuter vans, which have proliferated in northern Hudson County in the last several years and present many public dangers.
"While they are used by many local residents these buses have been dangerous for years and now we are seeing the consequences of lax regulation and enforcement," said Sacco. "We must improve public safety by stepping up enforcement, ensuring safe operation of the vehicles, and toughening licensing requirements on drivers to make sure that no one with multiple warrants like the driver in the accident is allowed to get behind the wheel."
Sacco is calling for increased local enforcement of traffic safety laws, including speeding, reckless driving, and operating a cell phone while driving. He is working in conjunction with North Bergen Police Chief Robert Dowd to increase enforcement in the township and with Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari to cover county roads like Kennedy Boulevard and Boulevard East. He is also calling on the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office to resume its program of bus inspection checkpoints of private commuter vans, which produced results in the past but was discontinued.
Finally, Sacco is announcing that he will be exploring legislation in the State Senate to strengthen licensing requirements on commercial bus drivers, and has directed his staff to research what can be done legally to prevent drivers with warrants from getting behind the wheel.

Spain were forced to settle for a point after being held to a 1-1 draw with Finland in their World Cup qualifying Group I clash at El Molinon on Friday evening.
Sergio Ramos capped his landmark 100th appearance for La Roja with a goal, when his 49th minute header gave the reigning World and European champions a well-earned lead just after the interval.
Vicente del Bosque's men dominated for long periods against a very defensive Finnish side, but Spain's inability to turn possession into goals cost them late on, when Teemu Pukki drilled home 11 minutes from time to stun the home crowd.
Tempers flared in the closing stages, as the hosts camped inside the Finland box in search of a winner. And, when David Silva toe-poked the ball from under visiting goalkeeper Jari Maenpaa, all hell broke loose, with players from both sides squaring up to each other.
Finland captain Niklas Moisander and Silva were booked for their respective involvements in the mini brawl, despite the Manchester City playmaker protesting his innocence, after being pulled out of the firing line by Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.
The result leaves Spain two points adrift of leaders France - whom they travel to play on Tuesday - while Finland remain bottom of the group with two points.
Watch a video of the mini stoppage-time brawl above, and leave a comment at the bottom of the article whether you think Silva deserved to be cautioned for his action.

Mississippi education officials say it's not true that they're considering dropping American history high school requirements.
A member of the Daughters of the American Revolution sent an email recently warning history courses might be in jeopardy, prompting a Monday letter from interim state Superintendent Lynn House.
A task force designing a new rating system for schools has talked about omitting the standardized history test from a proposed new system for rating high schools and districts.
Students would still have to take the course and pass the test to graduate from high school even if the test wasn't used to rate schools.
House says concerns may have sprung from that discussion.
Any task force recommendations would be submitted for public comment before being voted on by the state Board of Education.

Last month, IBM made an announcement that put an end to any hope of an open source OS/2. Responding to requests from an online community that had previously collected 11,600 signatures in support of its cause, the company confirmed that they would not be releasing the source code of their OS/2 operating system. I used OS/2 as my main operating system for about four years, and unlike some former users, my reaction to the news sits somewhere between disinterest and relief.

RE[2]: OS/2, AmigaOS and others
by Earl Colby pottinger on Fri 8th Feb 2008 18:48 UTC in reply to "RE: OS/2, AmigaOS and others"
I am not clear what you are trying to say. At this moment I am working to write a number of Open Sourced Apps for Haiku.
My question is where are the other open source replacement projects for older retired OSs that should be mature by now?
However, the point that OS/2 has had a large number of updates right up to 2006 was something I was not aware of. It goes a long way in explaining the problem as that would make OS/2 a moving target.

Very nice job on this article. Seems like a good amount of effort was put into it. Congrats on the great start.
Streaking Suns: A Look At The Hottest Team In The NBA
By Xist2inspire on December **, 2000
There's something going on at the Purple Palace, and it's hotter than a Midwestern summer. If you haven't heard, the Phoenix Suns have blazed to a phenomenal 14-2 record, far and away the best record in the conference. The fans are raucous. Games are sold out. It's got sportscasters, NBA analysts, other owners, and the average fan all scratching their heads in wonder. Just how is this team doing this? What drives them to play at such a blistering pace? The stats are amazing. Offensively, they're good, with center Alonzo Mourning averaging 31.3 points a game, followed by Penny Hardaway's 22.1 and Derek Fisher's 10.5, but it's the defense that has everyone raving. 10.2 steals per game. 5.7 blocks per game. 87.1 points allowed. How is this happening?
Maybe it's the length that does it. At 6'10", Alonzo Mourning's undersized for a center, but the 6'10" PF/SF Robert Horry, the 6'11" SF/SG Toni Kukoc, and the 6'7" SG/PG Penny Hardaway more than make up for it. Maybe it's Alonzo's intensity that's driving this team to clamp down on D. Or perhaps we should go to the source to find the secret to the Suns' success. That leads us to the Suns' practice facility, where Coach Scott Skiles has his own answer.
"We've all got something to prove. You look at our team, and you see a group of average role players and two injury-prone superstars. We look at ourselves as under appreciated guys, a group of individuals coming together for the greater good."
Perhaps Scott is right. Each player has his own story to tell, a reason to play at the highest level he can. For Anfernee Hardaway, better known as "Penny", it's a chance at redemption.
"A lot of people thought I was finished," says the former No.3 pick in the 1993 draft. "That I was more hype than reality. When you look back on it, it wasn't that bad. Only two real tough seasons. But I guess they heard about my recent microfracture surgery and freaked out." Once given the dreaded "Next Jordan" tag, a dubious honor bestowed on many that has proven to be more of a curse than a blessing, Penny endured two injury-filled seasons, one with the Magic in 97-98, the other in 99-00, just before another lockout forced a league-wide reset. But Penny's done his best to forget his past, and continues to redefine himself as a player. "I'm not at the level I used to be, and I might never be again, but I'm not just going to sit here and let my talents go to waste. I'm doing something."
"Do something." That's what they were saying to Derek Fisher. "They wanted me to beg the Wizards for a spot. For some reason, they thought that I couldn't exist without Kobe." For Fisher, it's about going it on his own. "It's not easy being the sidekick to the Boy Wonder," he says with a smile. "I mean, if Shaq was Batman, and Kobe was Robin, then what was I? Alfred?" When Kobe Bryant became the first overall pick in the new NBA era, that left Fisher alone and waiting for a team of his own. "I mean, we originally got drafted together, rode the pine together, became starters together. So most people would go, 'Well, what do I do now?' I just waited for my name to get called, and here I am." When asked about the often-arid weather, Fisher replies, "I love it. It's just like summer back home in Arkansas."
Toni Kukoc is a long way from home. The Croatian finds himself in a new role, one that's more suited to his opinion of himself. "I wanted to be more than the sixth man," the 3-time NBA champ says. "I never got that opportunity playing behind Michael and Scottie, and after that......" his voice trails off. After the demise of the Bulls, Kukoc was the last to go. The Bulls only wanted a role player out of him. Robert Horry can relate.
"I was the bandwagon guy. If it wasn't Hakeem and Clyde, it was Shaq and Kobe. Very few people thought I was anything more than a tag-along for those finals teams, and certainly not worthy of being a starter." And so it seems that Coach Skiles' words are true, that this is a collection of guys who are hungry, a force greater than the sum of their parts. But their driving force, Alonzo Mourning, says otherwise.
"Yeah, I know Coach is just saying what he thinks is true, but let me tell you something," he growls. "The reason why we're playing so hard, the reason why we've got everybody stunned, is because we're pissed off. We're all pissed off at a lot of things, but mainly we're pissed off at him." At this, he nods his head toward their new owner. "You see, everybody's stunned because they didn't expect this out of us, and I know for damn sure that HE didn't. They look at us, he looks at us, and they all compare us to other teams, trying to figure out just how we do it, and he's trying to figure out just who he can get rid of, because he didn't want us." Zo pauses for a minute and takes a breath, not used to this kind of expression. "He didn't want us. He didn't want Toni, he didn't want Rob, he didn't want Mikki or Song, and he damn sure didn't want me. You know who he did want? He wanted Shawn (Kemp). He wanted Skittles, Vin Baker, Stockton, all those guys. We were all his third or fourth draft options, he took us because he had to, and everybody here knows that. He was shopping me in the preseason, and he's got our entire bench on the trading block right now. He's just waiting for our stats to drop and then, boom, we're gone. We play hard to prove him wrong, ya dig? And when free agency comes, after we get that ring, he's either going to have to pay up, or try to build the team he wanted by himself, and let us go on to bigger and better things. He doesn't want any of us."
So who is this new owner, this mysterious figure who rules his team with an iron fist? Catching up with Johnny Felders, he just looks tired.
"I've always had a trigger-finger with my stuff," he says, wiping his glasses on his shirt. "When you've missed all the opportunities I have, you tend to hold on to what you do own a bit more tightly, and jump at the chance to improve things." When asked about his team, he draws a deep breath. "You know, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that my predictions suck. When I think good things are going to happen, I'm rarely right, but when I predict bad things, I'm never wrong. I'm 20 years old, and if you asked me how I got to be the owner of an NBA franchise, I honestly couldn't tell you, it's all a blur. But when I do sit down and think, I know three things. One, that everybody's just waiting to see us fall; two, that our luck can and will run out; and three, I have to do whatever it takes to keep number two from happening so that the people in number one can't say anything." At this, he lets out a breath eerily reminiscent of Alonzo's.
"They're going to blame me, you know. No matter what happens, it'll all come back on me, and then everybody will go on their merry way. Nobody crunches the numbers more than I do, because I know that if something goes wrong, they'll be looking at me. Riddle me this: If Zo goes down, who's gonna step up? You think Mikki can fill that role? You think Toni's going to explode for 40 in a game? What about Penny? You think that Fish, Raj and Travis can give me what he gives in case he breaks down? Do you really think we can get away with Zo averaging almost 40 minutes a game, and guys like Chris Gatling and Darius Songaila getting averages that are almost better than guys like Kukoc and Horry, who are getting much more minutes but are doing far less with it? It's not going to happen," he sighs, now running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I'm looking to deal. I'm looking to find out just what makes this team tick, so that when a part breaks or gets rusty, I know how to fix it. There's no instruction manual for this, every owner in this league is doing it all on the fly. I've had to recalibrate and reassess this team constantly ever since the draft. I wasn't even here for Zo's pick, our commissioner handled that. And it's not like I can go out and tell these guys, 'Hey, look. I love you all, but if your performance isn't up to par, then you've gotta go, no exceptions.' I mean, how do you do that? I have a hard enough time dealing with the ordinary people in my life, how do I go up to the rich and famous and tell them how their lives are gonna be? I'm a 20-year old guy born and raised in the countriest of country places with the careers of fully grown men in my hands and the expectations of an entire fanbase to meet. As it is, I'm just thankful we're doing well."
Strangely enough, it's now pretty clear from talking to them as to just how this young Phoenix squad is roaring through the league. Appropriately enough for a team called the Suns, they're a proverbial ball of fire, a collection of combustible elements that are burning bright as we speak, but it remains to be seen whether they'll flame out in spectacular fashion...or set the world ablaze. But if there's one thing for sure, it's that there isn't a single soul in the state of Arizona that's not trying to keep the flames alive.

Very nice job on this article. Seems like a good amount of effort was put into it. Congrats on the great start.
The best team in the league. My Rockets are one of the top offenses in the league and the Suns held us to less than 90 twice. Great article. The "Alfred" line cracked me up.

Good job on the article and the record. I'm looking forward to day 41 when we host your team

Not sure why everyone wants to make up quotes. Even real life quotes are awful. Lebron James, how do you feel about the win tonight?
"It was a really good team win, we played really hard out there. We were able to score some points and play some defense. We're just going to take it one game at a time."
...You don't say...
Well written article though.
Thanks for all the comments, guys, I really appreciate it. Good luck to all of your teams.
Oh, and if any of you have an offer...I'm listening. Ol' Johnny's always ready for a deal...y'know, just in case.
Great job on the article. Really cool idea. Your team is off to a Great start man. Congrats!

Why the rush on such a big issue as health care?
As a retired physician I can attest to the fact that the federal government does not do well in regulating health care. On two occasions in the last 30 years the government interference with my practice caused (forced) me to alter my billing procedure and in both cases the cost went up without any corresponding increase in effectiveness in medical care.
Then there are Medicare, Medicaid and the last insult of the drug benefits. Does anyone really believe that these government programs are well managed? These programs are fiscally insolvent and contributing to bankrupting our society. And now we think of adding universal health care to these failures. It strikes me that this gargantuan overreach to include everyone, as it eventually will, for a relatively small number of uninsured is more about centralizing control in Washington than it is about caring for individuals.
This involves freedom or equality. The more you try to equalize everything and everyone the more we lose our freedom. The more you try to take over individual responsibility and do for people what they ought to be doing for themselves the more you encourage irresponsibility and dependency. And we all thereby have less freedom.
And why the rush? That in itself causes me concern. This is really a big deal. It is not like the stimulus packages as large as they were. They will expire. and not have the long-term impact that nationalized health care will have.
Furthermore, once started how can it be reversed or even corrected? I don't believe it will.
I am also very concerned about what this would mean to the doctor-patient relationship and the ability of the doctor to do what in his clinical judgment is best for his patient. I know there is some interference even now with the insurance companies but can you imagine how this would be expanded if the federal government intervenes?
Which brings to mind a term I heard in reference to national health care: a "quality-adjusted-life-year: or QALY. What do you suppose they are getting at here? I am older, somewhere between old and really old, and I had better keep my quality of life up or else I will be adjusted down. We are all getting older. Keep that in mind

House to Vote on Foreign Aid Bill Today
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 30, 2012 09:00 AM
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bread for the World applauds the vote on H.R. 3159, the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2012. Scheduled for 6.30 p.m. today, this bipartisan legislation is an important step towards better efficiency among U.S. foreign aid programs.
"Given lawmakers' ongoing quest to balance the federal budget and reduce our nation's deficit, it is imperative that the United States streamlines foreign assistance efforts to ensure more efficiency and effectiveness in reaching the people who need it most," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and co-chair of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network. "We applaud Congress for recognizing this and taking steps to guarantee better accountability and transparency."
Introduced by Representative Ted Poe (R-Texas), this bill requires the president to establish uniform guidelines across all U.S. foreign development assistance programs with measurable goals, performance metrics, and monitoring and evaluation plans.
The bill will also establish a public website with detailed information regarding U.S. foreign development assistance on a program-by-program and country-by-country basis, updated quarterly by all federal departments and agencies that administer U.S. foreign development assistance. After the House votes on H.R. 3159 today, it is expected to clear the Senate this week.
"I am encouraged by USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the numerous other U.S. development agencies that have taken this commitment seriously," added Beckmann. "However, with all of the federal agencies delivering U.S. foreign assistance, we pray that Congress will pass this bill to help standardize the monitoring and evaluation process of all of the agencies involved."
In addition to coordinating across agencies, the bill will enable American taxpayers, as well as the governments and citizens of partner countries, to access, track and compare comprehensive and timely U.S. foreign assistance data. The information will be soon publicly available through an online Foreign Assistance Dashboard. There, visitors will find country assistance strategies, annual budget documents, congressional budget justifications, obligations, expenditures, and reports and analysis for each program and project.

The Prairie City-Monroe volleyball team wrapped up its Heart of Iowa Conference season Tuesday night, although maybe not with the result it was hoping for.
The Mustangs (8-17, 4-5) fell to Roland-Story 3-0 in the match, which was also the final regular-season match for the team. Seniors Kelsey Townsend and Alex Samson led PCM with six kills apiece, while Samson also had a team-high 12 assists. Junior Abbi Gilson led the team with seven digs while also recording four kills. As a team, PCM went 42-for-45 in serves.
PCM will begin Class 3A regional play on Monday when it travels to Maxwell to take on county foe Collins-Maxwell-Baxter (7-13, 2-7).

World No. 1 and four-time U.S. Open titlist Serena Williams breezed past Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3, 6-1 on Friday to move into the fourth round at the U.S. Open.
The reigning U.S. and French Open champ Williams, a 16-time Grand Slam winner, needed just over an hour to dispose of Shvedova in straight sets on the hardcourts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Williams, who defeated Victoria Azarenka in last year's outstanding final in Flushing, will take on fellow American Sloane Stephens in the round of 16 after the 15th-seeded Stephens downed No. 23 Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-3.
The Aussie Open semifinalist Stephens is now an impressive 15-3 at the Slams this year.
A pair of top-five seeds -- Agnieszka Radwanska and Li Na -- also moved into the fourth round at the U.S. Open on Friday.
The third-seeded 2012 Wimbledon runner-up Radwanska topped 32nd-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), while the fifth-seeded former French Open champion and two-time Australian Open runner-up Li popped 11 aces in taking care of 30th-seeded 19-year-old British left-hander Laura Robson 6-2, 7-5.
Li avenged a third-round loss against Robson at last year's U.S. Open.
"I was really happy how I was hitting on the court," Li said. "And I thought I served really well."
Robson, who piled up 30 unforced errors on a sunny Day 5, was the first British woman to be seeded at a Grand Slam event since Jo Durie at the 1987 Australian Open.
Last month's Wimbledon semifinalist Radwanska is seeking her first-ever trip into a U.S. Open quarterfinal, while the 31-year-old Li reached her lone quarterfinal in New York City four years ago.
Nine-time Grand Slam winner Martina Hingis, who was named to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in July, made her first Grand Slam appearance since returning from retirement by pairing with Czech Daniel Hantuchova for a doubles match against Italy's Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci.
However, Hingis and Hantuchova were no match for the Italians, who earned a 6-3, 7-5 victory to advance.
Hingis later returned for a mixed doubles match with India's Mahesh Bhupathi against Sweden's Robert Lindstedt and Taiwan's Chan Yung-January, but Hingis and Bhupathi were handed a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-5) setback.
Eight-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany cruised past 25th-seeded Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-0, 6-4, while 18th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro notched a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over China's Zheng Jie.
Ninth-seeded former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic reached the round of 16 with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) victory over Japan's Kurumi Nara. Jankovic was the 2008 U.S. Open runner-up and will battle Li in a quality fourth-round matchup here on Sunday.
Meanwhile, 24th-seeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova sent 16th-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki packing in 6-4, 7-5 fashion. The German slugger Lisicki has never advanced beyond the fourth round in Flushing.
Makarova will face Radwanska on Sunday in her first-ever fourth-round match at the U.S. Open.

More than 20,000 off-duty police officers took to the streets on Thursday as they warned that Government cuts are putting public safety at risk.
The officers, from all 43 forces across England and Wales, donned black baseball caps with the words "Cuts are criminal" as they marched through central London to protest against the spending cuts and wide-ranging changes to their pay and pensions.
The officers, banned from striking under law, began marching from Millbank at around noon in a protest to show "the unprecedented attack on policing by this Government and the consequences that these cuts will have for public safety".
The stream of officers took one-and-a-half hours to pass by the Home Office, booing as they went and leaving a sign saying: "Policing by consent, established 1829, dismantled without consent 2012".
Police Federation chairman Paul McKeever told the assembled officers that: "We care very deeply about the communities that we serve. We have seen what happens when we have a Government that has given policing a very low priority.
"If you are cutting our jobs, then you are cutting the service we can deliver and the public's safety is at risk."
The officers were joined by
The last time police took to the streets, then-home secretary Jacqui Smith was blamed for a high-profile pay dispute in January 2008 and was ridiculed at the federation's conference.
Home Secretary Theresa May, who asked former rail regulator Tom Winsor to carry out the most wide-ranging review of police pay and conditions in 30 years, will address the officers at their annual conference in Bournemouth next week.
Policing Minister Nick Herbert wrote an open letter to all officers telling them he and the Home Secretary were "constantly impressed by the work you do for your communities" but insisting that "all organisations have to keep pace with the modern world.
"The Government wants to recognise the professionalism of officers, reduce bureaucracy and ensure officers are rewarded "for the excellent job you do", he wrote.
But difficult decisions on pay and pensions are needed and, as the service spends some £14 billion a year, it would not be right if officers were exempt from this, he added.
He insisted that officers will continue to earn more than other emergency services, continue to take overtime and continue to retire earlier than most people in the public sector.
Police pensions will also still be among the best available, he wrote.
