How to Use
Map 2: Bentonville Battlefield.
This map shows the fighting on March 19, 1865, the first day of the Battle of Bentonville. The arrows indicate movement of troops. The solid lines indicate the different positions where troops were stationed to fight.
Questions for Map 2
1. How close did the fighting come to the Harper House?
2. Why might the Harper House have been chosen as the field hospital over the other homes and structures in the map during the Battle of Bentonville?
3. How do you think the injured were evacuated from the battleground?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 2, but be aware that the file may take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — With the midterm elections a year away, U.S. Rep. John Barrow has $1 million stashed away to defend his seat during a 2014 campaign in which the east Georgia Democrat is expected to be a top target of Republicans.
The latest campaign finance reports show Barrow of Augusta with a huge fundraising advantage over two Republicans running for a shot at denying the Democrat a sixth term. The numbers show that Barrow has more than $10 to spend for every $1 in the bank account of his nearly would-be GOP rival.
Of course, the race for Barrow's 12th District seat has barely started. First Republicans will have to elect a nominee to challenge Barrow, with the primary scheduled for May 20. So far two GOP candidates are in the race — Augusta construction company owner Rick W. Allen and former Capitol aide John Stone, also of Augusta. The primary winner will face Barrow in the Nov. 4, 2014, general election.
Republicans have been trying to oust Barrow since he first won office in 2004 and twice have redrawn the 12th District to whittle away key portions of the congressman's Democratic base. Lawmakers carved Barrow's hometown of Athens from the district before his first re-election campaign in 2006, then pushed Savannah outside its boundaries before the 2012 campaign. Those changes left Barrow with a district that clearly favors Republicans, yet he defeated GOP state Rep. Lee Anderson last year with a commanding 54 percent of the vote.
Now Barrow's gearing up for his next campaign fight. The congressman raised $274,350 in the three-month period that ended Sept. 30 and reported having just more than $1 million in the bank.
Allen was the runner-up in the 2012 Republican primary and has been aggressively pursuing a comeback. His latest campaign disclosure report shows Allen raised $124,782 in the three-month period ending Sept. 30. Allen's total fundraising for the 2014 campaign is more than double that amount, but he's also spending heavily — $145,610 in the last quarter — on staff, consultants and online campaign tools. At the end of the period he had $92,130 left in the bank.
"We don't have to match him dollar for dollar," Allen spokesman Dan McLagan said in an emailed statement. "Barrow and Obama are wrong, we are right and I wouldn't trade places with him for every penny he has in the bank."
Stone, meanwhile, insisted that his campaign for the GOP nomination is gaining momentum despite numbers that showed him lagging far behind Allen.
Stone reported raising $46,169 in the last quarter, a little more than one-third of what Allen raised. He had $43,352 cash in the bank. And though Stone has been running full-time since the summer started, his overall fundraising remained below $100,000.
"We fully expect Rick to raise more than us, but we have our budget for what we need to win the primary," Stone said. "I think we're in good shape."
Barrow's spokesman, Richard Carbo, said the congressman had no comment on the campaign to date.
Stone is seeking a comeback against Barrow. He ran as the Republican nominee in 2008. Barrow defeated Stone by 32 percentage points.
Barrow's 12th District seat covers 19 mostly rural counties and includes the cities of Augusta, Statesboro, Dublin and Vidalia. Its voters widely favored Republican Mitt Romney in last year's presidential election, yet Barrow managed to earn enough support from Romney voters to win a fifth term.
Though off to a strong start, Barrow isn't likely to start coasting when it comes to raising money. Winning re-election in 2012 cost the congressman $2.8 million.

I'm high in the Swiss Alps in a tiny mountain hut perched just under the high plateau called Ebenalp. Here, a spry grandpa in a sweater as worn as his face pulls a wide-eyed child onto his lap to teach him to drum with old wooden spoons, as the oldtimer next to him pumps on his squeezebox. Tall, sloppy mugs of beer stoke the commotion. I'm immersed in the conviviality, but eventually climb upstairs to my lofty bunk.
Hours later, unable to sleep, I poke my head out of the tiny window and look wearily down on the raging party. Finally, the gang packs up their rucksacks and hikes out, disappearing over the ledge and into the moonlit forest. When their singing voices finally fade, it's quiet and I sleep, marvelling at how the Swiss make mountains fun.
I'm in Appenzell, a region with none of the famous mountains but the best cow culture. Appenzell is Switzerland's most traditional region - and long the butt of jokes because of it. They say you should set your watch back 10 years when you cross the cantonal border. Entire villages meet in town squares to vote. Until 1989, the women of Appenzell couldn't vote on local issues. But lately the region has become more progressive. Locals brag that in 2000 its schools were the first in Switzerland to make English - rather than French - mandatory.
A gentle beauty blankets this region of green, rolling hills, watched over by tall Mount Säntis. As you travel, you'll enjoy an ever-changing parade of finely carved chalets, traditional villages, and cows moaning, "Milk me." While farmers' bikini-clad daughters make hay, old ladies with scythes walk the steep roads, looking as if they just pushed the Grim Reaper down the hill. When locals are asked about Appenzell cheese, they clench their fists as they answer, "It's the best." (It is, without a doubt, the smelliest.) If you're here in late August or September, there's a chance you'll get in on (or at least have your road blocked by) the ceremonial procession of flowerbedecked cows and whistling herders in formal, traditional costumes.
In Appenzell's towns kids play "barn" instead of "house," while Mom and Dad watch yodelling on TV. The dairy heritage is a point of local pride. Folk museums feature oldfashioned cheese making demonstrations, peasant houses, fascinating embroidering machinery, cow art, and folkcraft demonstrations. Appenzell's highlight is a quaint and rustic old hut built into a cliff, just below a peak called Ebenalp. By chance it's more accessible than it should be - just a short hike down from the top of the Wasserauen cable car (eight kilometres south of Appenzell town).
From the summit where the lift leaves, you savour the 360-degree Alpine view and then head downhill. The trail leads through a prehistoric cave (slippery and dimly lit - hold the railing, and you'll soon return to daylight) and the 400-year-old Wildkirchli cave church (hermit monks lived and worshipped here from 1658 to 1853), to Berggasthaus Aescher, a 170-year-old guest house built precariously into the cliff. Originally a hut housing farmers, goats, and cows, Berggasthaus Aescher evolved into a guest house for pilgrims coming to the monks for spiritual guidance. Today, the hermit monks are long gone and it welcomes tourists communing with nature, offering cheap dorm beds and hearty plates of Rösti - Switzerland's addictive hash browns.

joeygrecco: Whats Yuniel Escobars upside?
Mike: I have Escobar as over rated this year because he had a nice debut last year but when I look more into his numbers I see a guy who has limited value if he doesn't hit for a high average. Talked to Mark Bowman of Braves website and he think Escobar can become Renteria just not now so I'm cold on him in 08.
Cory: I like Escobar because he's eligible at 2B, 3B and SS and could hit .310 or so. But he offers very little in terms of power or speed, so if he's not hitting .310, he has very little value in a 12-team mixed. Overall, I think he's being overrated in this format.
swift19: Is Chase Headley for real?
Cory: For real in that he'll win some playing time and was the Texas Lg. MVP last year, so that counts for a lot. But it worries me that the power only emerged last year in a great hitter's league, and now he has to jump to the best pitchers' park in baseball and play a new position. Keeper league, go heavy, but for '08 only, I'd look elsewhere.
u2clone: In an auction league, how do you measure inflation most effectively? Is their an exact formula?
Cory: To calculate inflation, you have to have sound projections about what guys are likely to go for. If guys are going over your projections, inflation is taking hold and you bid conservatively. Once inflation comes down, you jump in. But remember you have to spend the money at some point, so don't leave it on the table!
Mike: In a non mixed inflation could be based on players leaving the league who were speciality guys or ST injuries. For example in an AL Only I would say CC and Bedard are going to go up for sure now that Lackey is hurt, Kazmir is hurt and Johan don't live here no more.
maa25: Hey guys, who do you think has a higher ceiling? franklin gutierrez or Billy butler??
Cory: Different ceilings. Butler could hit .330 with 25 homers, but Gutierrez could hit 30 homers with 15+ SB's. Remember that Butler is DH-only and that hurts position flexibility. I like both this year and beyond.
volcanoele: Hi Guys, I was wondering about your predictions for two players in preparation for my 12 Team AL-Only Draft. First is Andy Sonnanstine of the Rays and second is Eric Hurley of the Rangers, thanks again.
Mike: Both are on my radar in my AL onlys but both have issues. I would not get into a bidding war on either but would love to have them for 3 or 4 bucks.
swift19: Pedroia, Pie, Iwamura, and Travis Buck? Sophmore slump or not?
Cory: Pie doesn't have anything to slump against; he only hit .215 in his debut last year. I'm more worried about Lou getting impatient with him. Pedroia should be consistent and Iwamura has room to improve, but I'm not as enthused about Buck. Looks like a pretty nondescript OF option to my eyes.
pierre91: Hi Corey / Mike........ffrom the UK.......who rates highr- Hanley or Reyes?
Mike: If I have second pick I take Hanley, If i miss on Hanley I don't cry when I take Reyes.
Cory: In general I would take Reyes because of his ability to win one whole category for you almost on his own. However, in a mock draft last night I took Hanley because I knew I was going to take 7 straight bats to start out and I wanted Hanley's higher AVG and power more than the additional SB's, which I knew I'd get with subsequent picks.
rob0222: Could you guys rank the pitchers in order of preference? Gallardo, McGowan, Grienke, Wainwright, James Sheilds?
Mike: Pains me to say it but on performace you have to go Shields first becuase he did have a good year last year, but Gallardo, Wainwright and McGowan are all very intriguing at #1-4 on this list. Grienke is a wild card so he comes in last for me.
Cory: I like all of them a lot, so if I only needed one, I'd pass and let the market make the choice for me, and take the last man standing. But if I had to, I'd go Gallardo, Shields, McGowan, Wainwright, Greinke. And that's no knock on Greinke
nickkurs: I am in a 4 keeper league, i have reyes utley sabathia and rios, with my first pick would you take atkins, morneau, or zambrano?
Cory: Well I took Atkins with my 3rd pick (46th) in NFBC so of course he's my choice! But I'm also concerned that Morneau is overrated power-wise, and Zambrano's higher WHIP and ERA keep him out of the elite and make him overrated, too.
gosqueeze: will kemp get more than 600 AB or is the dodger outfield too crowded?
Mike: I say no because he will bat near bottom of lineup, but that doesn't mean he won't have value. I think he is a lock for 20-20 and think he is the RF this year.
joro10: Is Crawford a legit 2nd round pick in a rotisserie league that includes stolen bases
Cory: The real question is, in what league would Crawford escape the first round?? He shouldn't last past the 10th or 12th pick, at the worst.
HOF2006: What are the odds Lirinao gives top 8 round value?
Mike: In 2008 it may be tricky being that the wins will be hard to come by and his health is still in question meaning he is not all the way back from TJ. I saw him pitch last week and his velocity was fine but he was all over the place and looked rusty. 09' I like the chances better.
johschmi: what are your thoughts on geovany soto, will he be a competitive catcher?
Cory: Who's he competing with? -) Seriously, it worries me that he showed no offensive ability before spending his third season in Triple-A last year, so I think last season was a little fluky. But people I trust seem convinced he can hit .275 with 18 homers this year, thereabouts, and that's definitely worthy in mixed leagues.
mays-ways: Has Brandon Phillps hit his ceiling?
Mike: If he has I hope he stays there. His ranking near the top of second base is valid but also can be by default. maybe Rickie Weeks is this years Brandon Phillips.
Cory: I think he's clearly a valuable power/speed combo at a weak position, but with a strikeout to walk rate worse than 3-to-1, I have to think he'll backslide a little bit from last year. Think 25-25 more than 30-30, although that might even be nit-picking.
andone12: Draft question - I'm keeping Reyes, M. Cabrera, Fielder, Peavy, Webb and K-Rod. With my first two picks, I'm likely to be able to choose between Mauer and McCann and then Abreu, Pence, Hunter and C.B. Young. Which two would you select and would you cons
Mike: I would take one them since it will be slim picking at the position. They both have their pros and cons but Mauer's ceiling is higher IF healthy. I would go Abreu with other pick becuase of the lineup he is in and I think he'll be more consistent this year then last.
mays-ways: Is it possible Han-Ram isn't as good as everyone thinks?
Cory: Sure it is. But when 23-year-old guys have seasons like he did last year, it's extremely rare that they don't go on to have multiple All-Star seasons, if not MVP caliber. He might have to move from SS to 3B or OF at some point, but as a SS, there's no reason to expect less than greatness for the next several years.
basenji: Hello! Could you please rank for this coming year: Thome, Dye,Milliege and Hermida.Thank you!
Mike: I like Thome first because he is money but he kills you by being DH only. Dye scares me and I love Milledge and Hermida's upside.
Cory: Specifically about Milledge, I think he is very undervalued this year. He'll be playing every day, batting in front of Zimmerman, and has a green light to steal. He's always put up solid minor league numbers despite being one of the youngest guys in his league each year. I think he could hit .280 and go 20/20 this year, and be a bargain in mixed drafts.
jayz_rule: Gavin Floyd has been touted as a stud for years. Do you think he will produce this year?
Mike:: I think he has what it takes to be a productive major leaguer and Gio Gonzalez being dealt (he was sent down by A's today btw) should allow him to just go out and do his thing w/o competition. Let him have one good majore league season before making him a stud but yes I like him.
hawkeyenfo: Miguel Tejada - boom or bust for 2008? Seems to be going late in drafts
Cory: Depends on acquisition cost and expectations. If you pay for a .285/22/85 type of season, you should be safe, and of course he could even do more than that. But if you pay for and expect .310/30/110 or whatever, get ready to be disappointed.
chi100yrs: Where do you see Bob Howry fitting into the Cubs' bullpen picture?
Cory: Carrie Muskat has been all over this on Cubs.com and reported yesterday (Sun. 3/16) that Piniella is leaning towards Wood as the closer, which would make since since his injury risk better suits him to a one-inning role, while Marmol in particular can probably handle 4-5 outs if needed. Howry will probably be third in line but might get a few saves at some point, just not that many.
bigwheal: I have Cabrera and Lugo at short both same salary can only keep one which?
Cory: If you can only keep one, take Cabrera: 1. More consistent, 2. Moving into a ballpark that should give him more power than Lugo, 3. Still can provide 20 or so SB's if not more.
wvbuggs: 9th pk in a 5x5 vanilla 10 teamer. Who should I take from Howard, Crawford, Braun, Santana.
Mike: Take Howard and then whoever is left from these four on way back. You're playing with house money on this one.
jkul: In a points league I accidentally drafted Swisher over Markakis as I saw Nick and clicked draft...am I going to kick myself all season for that mistake?
Cory: In general, probably yes. But Swisher should hit around 35 HR's in US Cellular, so if you're deep in speed and don't need the 15-20 Markakis will give, you might end up being happy! Plus Swisher is also eligible at 1B, can Markakis claim that? Ha!
mays-ways: Is it possible to post the whole NFBC draft results from your draft Cory?
Cory: I posted the results for my league on the blog: fantasy411.mlogs.com. As far as the other leagues, they will probably be available eventually on nationalfantasybaseballchampionship.com, although you might need a logon to view them.
Mike: The last 12 team mixed mock draft Cory and I (well Cushing filled in I was sick) did will be on the Blog today. fantasy411.mlblogs.com
Cory: Bad typo by me. fantasy411.mlblogs.com -- sorry!
JetMcCluch: do you accept ramon hernandez and fausto for Crawford?
Mike: I do not. You are trading a first rounder or ealry second rounder and getting an ok catcher and a soft ace. Crawford is way harder to replace.
thetoddmon: Any 5th-7th round position players that you think could wind up with 2nd-3rd round production?
Mike: Mauer could. So could Kinlser if he puts up Brandon Phillips numbers. I think if Hafner has a Pronkinator year then he is worthy of this group but DH makes it even harder.
Boblheader: Cory, you mentioned that you had the numbers to win 12 team vanilla mixed ... can we get those?
Cory: We posted the league-winning totals for all of the listener leagues on the blog last year, check the archives for October. fantasy411.mlblogs.com
rob0222: In a 10-team mixed requiring 5 OF's where what rounds should I target guys like Markakis, Bay, Pence, Kemp and Ellsbury?
Cory: They should go in this order: Markakis, Pence, Bay, Kemp, Ellsbury. Figure Markakis goes in the mid/late 4th, Pence a round later, Bay a round later, Kemp shortly after that, and Ellsbury much later. In a 10-team league, it's risky to take a guy who doesn't yet have a guaranteed job.
jbogey78: Should owners of hamilton sell high before season begins or will this continue throughout the regular season
Mike: If you can deal him for a player of greater value then absolutely. Don't trade him just because he's having a monster spring get soemthing good in return.
Cory: That said, I think he's being vastly overvalued in drafts so far. He went in the 5th of my NFBC draft, which is just nuts for a player which his unusual background. He has great upside but is way too risky to take that early.
shoredds: Who do you like more this year Matthews Jr. or Kaz Matsui and why?
Cory: Matsui will go earlier because he's 2B eligible and has speed, but I think he's a marginal player in 12-team leagues. He has no power, and if he drops back down to .275 outside of Coors, his speed gets diminished and he's a marginal player. Matthews is at least a reliable 15/15 option as a 5th OF.
joeygrecco: How high is too high on Russel Martin? I picked him in the third round in the last mock draft i did. Am i overrating his steals?
Mike: 3rd round is fine for Martin and should bear no shame. You can't overate the steals at that position so don't sweat it.
janingla: mike and cory i just want you to evaluate this team i drafted at the weekend, its the mlbradiofans.com league. 5x5 12 team mixed with ci and mi. McCann, Piersynski, Delgado, Uggla, Reynolds, Furcal, Iwamura, Hardy, Ichiro, Granderson, Hideki, Griffey, Mel
Cory: A little too risky for my liking, since Delgado is aging fast, Reynolds could hit .220 and lose his job, Hardy might regress, Griffey is old, etc. I hope you have a good pitching staff!
reds24302: 12 Vanilla... would this pitching staff be enough for middle of the pack? I want very high on hitters... Burnett/Maine/Wang/RJ/Greinke/Willis/F Corderio/C Corderio/Gagne and Volquez on bench
Mike: Bunch of ifs in there but high reward if RJ and Burnett stay healthy and Willis comes back to the guy from a few years ago. Don't mind the bullpen.
poohbear53: : j.r.towles sleeper or over rated because of one good game last year?
MikeQ: I talked to Brett Dolan of the Astros PBP team and he thinks Towles will play 120 games and be solid. The steals would be great from him as a #2 catcher. Sleeper.
hawkeyenfo: Would you and where would you take Lackey in a 12 team 5x5 draft (keeper lleague) given his injury and strat on DL
Cory: I got him in the 10th round in a mock draft last night and I think that's a steal. He'll miss 5-6 starts if all goes as projected, so I think he should only slip by a round or two. You can play pitch or ditch while he's out, or use his spot for extra bats on Mondays and Thursdays.
jayz_rule: Will Carlos Gomez be the everyday CF for the twins, if so are his stolen bases enough to not worry about his batting avg.
Mike: Twins are really concerned if he is ready and I don't think he staicks around based on steals alone so his stock is slipping.
Cory: I see a lot of Roger Cedeno in him and I don't mean that in the good way. He can steal a lot if he gets on base but I think he'll have a short shelf life as a productive Major Leaguer. My two cents.
chi100yrs: Is Bill Hall a player that shouldn't be left on waivers in a 12-team mixed?
Cory: Hall was so good in '06 and so bad last year, that if the reality is somewhere in between, he should be drafted. Remember that he played out of position last year and didn't adjust well, so moving back to the infield this year and being more comfortable should help. If I told you he could give you 23 HR and 8 SB's with two-position eligibility, and that you could get that off the waiver wire, would that interest you?
jarchive: Hey Guys - How would you value/draft BJ Ryan, as a third or fourth closer and not depend on him or as a number two and just hope he returns to form?
Mike: Johnny Archive!!!!! HOFer. Since I like to draft my #1 and #2 closers in first 4-6 rounds Ryan can't be any higer then my #3, with that said I would looooove to have him as my #3.
Cory: I think Ryan will pitch effectively this year but will be very carefully protected by the Jays. He could save 30 games and only pitch 50 innings, like a mini Trevor Hoffman.
oms301: Do you think Johnny Cueto or Manny Parra is worth of a 12 team mixed roster spot?
Cory: Both have great potential and are nice fliers as your 5th starter in a mixed league, but to target guys like this is dangerous. I think we've been spoiled about young pitchers by the success of guys like Hamels, Gallardo, Lincecum, etc. Don't forget about guys like Homer Bailey, huge prospects who didn't provide immediate results.
thetoddmon: I know this is a weak list, but who would you rather keep: Jeff Francis, Justin Upton or Melky Cabrera?
Cory: Justin Upton, a thousand times, Justin Upton! He's as valuable as they come in keeper leagues... should go 20/15 or so this year, and make a few All-Star teams soon after that.
hawkeyenfo: Do you see Corey Hart or Tori Hunter achieving 30/30 this year? Who would you take first in a standard 5x5
Cory: I personally doubt either will, but Hart could peak around 35/20 in a year or two. I'm worried about his plate discipline though, he has like a 14-0 K-BB rate so far this spring. That's not good.
thetoddmon: Hey guys, how worried are you about Beckett's back injury?
Mike: I have some concern but I think the fact he isn't going to Japan is actually good news. Red Sox will have him ready to go when he is 100% and I think he will be. Question is does he stay that way?
reds24302: Are there any very deep AL or NL only sleepers? Can you name 3 each?
Cory: Two off the top of my head for NL only: Kevin Hart of the Cubs, who has a good arm and might sneak into the closer role at some point given how unsettled that is, and Eugenio Velez, a speedster with power in the Giants system who could emerge this season at 2B. Matt Antonelli of the Padres has power and speed and could supplant Tadahito Iguchi this year too. So I did have three. Top that Siano!
Mike: I hate Cory
Mike: I like going with some reclamation projects so I'll say Dan Cabrera who could make it click this year and be stupid cheap. carlos Quentin of the Chicago White Sox who if Jerry Owens falters and Crede gets traded could play everyday and JP Howell in TB who steps in if Sonnanstine or Jackson falter.
Mike: Lightning round time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
joro10: what do you think of chris carpenter and dan haren ???
Mike: Carp is throwing so he's working his way back to you babe, but will it be worth more then tuning up for 09' is cards are losing? Love Haren and think he can pitch for any team and be a success.
thepat5678: Did I pick Rollins too soon at the #4th pick?
Cory: Depends who was on the board. I think he should go 6th after A-Rod, Reyes, Hanley, Wright and Holliday.
JennFisher: I have an extra $1 and can keep Nate Robertson, but should I? He could get a bunch of wins, but is a mediocre pitcher, and as you guys say a roster spot has value too.
Mike: The roster spot has more value. You can get Nate for a buck later on.
chi100yrs: How much improvement do you expect from Ryan Zimmerman this season?
Cory: The wrist injury could sap his power a little, but moving out of RFK could turn some doubles into homers: Upside this year: .290, 28, 110 with 10 SB's.
basenji: Please rank for this year:Pedro,Greinke,Lilly and Philip Hughes
Mike: Lilly, Hughes, Greinke and Pedro. Pedro won't stay healthy and will drive you nuts.
tsep23: What's up guys! Would a pitcher that throws for 300k's and 20 plus wins be worth the #1 pick over ARod?
Cory: Yes he would, but remember that Johan's career high in K's is 265, so you can appreciate how rare it will be for someone to get 300 K's.
in today's game it would but back in the day he would be later since all the guns put up those numbers.
bbom: Keeper league, AL-only. What do you think of Fransico Liriano?
Mike: Must be on a roster. 09' he'll be back to where he is supposed to be pre-injury.
gosqueeze: how long before the yanks turn first over to duncan?
Mike: I think Duncan gets exposed as an everyday player. I'd rather see Giambi out there.
slapweasel: Which SP's do you see falling most often and being snapped up in later rounds at great value?
Cory: Our mid-round faves this year are Billingsley, Wainwright and McGowan. I like Greinke in the later rounds and think Harden and Randy Johnson are going late enough to be great upside gambles. There are always lots of useful late round gambles, it's the reliable ones that are hard to find!
friedl99: How would you rate Pedro Feliz as a dark horse sleeper option for third base this season? There's nothing not to like about the ballpark and the lineup he's hitting in.
Mike: I actually put Feliz as my sleeper 3B for this season. I think you said it all when you mention park and lineup and he stays in the lineup. Not a bad choice for CO in a mixed league and a cheap 3B in a NL Only.
Mike and
Cory: That's all the time we have for today. Thanks for the great response once again and we look forward to our next chat in mid to late April. Don't forget the show is live 2-3pm ET on weekdays. Transcript will be on the Blog later and happy drafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama now says his sequester idea 'dumb'
Just 1 day earlier described it as catastrophic, with hits on teachers, police, firefighters
By Garth Kant
The Obama administration warned us it would be catastrophic. Sequestration would mean the loss of police officers, firefighters, teachers, soldiers, air control towers and shipyards…you name it.
Now that sequestration is here, President Obama says it's "dumb" but it's "not going to be an apocalypse."
Obama and House Speaker John Boehner failed to find an alternative to the sequester during a last-ditch meeting today, so $85 billion in automatic spending cuts are scheduled to begin to kick in at the end of the day.
Obama again blamed Republicans, even though he originated the idea.
"I am not a dictator," Obama said Friday. He says he can't lock leaders in a room to make a deal.
"So ultimately if Mitch McConnell or John Boehner say, 'I have to catch a plane,' I can't have Secret Service block the doorway," he said.
"I know that this has been some of the conventional wisdom that's been floating around Washington that even though most people agree that I'm being reasonable, that most people agree that I'm presenting a fair deal, the fact that they don't take it means that I should somehow do a Jedi mind-meld and convince them" to agree on a deal, Obama said.
GOP lawmakers cheered Boehner's refusal to budge on tax increases.
"I think he realized the president of the United States was using him as a tool for his own benefit and was not actually in a partnership with him, and he also realized that we in the House were not happy with what was coming out of those negotiations," said Rep. Raúl R. Labrador, R-Idaho. "We were pretty blunt with him and the entire leadership team that we have to feel like we have a plan and a vision, and we're following up on that plan and that vision."
"The discussion about revenue is over," Boehner said. The speaker says the House has already voted on two measures to replace the sequester and "shouldn't have to pass a third bill."
Boehner urged Obama and Senate Democrats to present a plan to replace the sequester that could pass the Democratic-led Senate.
In his new softer tone on the effects of the sequester, Obama says the nation will survive it, though it would be painful for many people.
Now, even federal employees will begin to feel the pinch. A million, or more, federal workers may be taking unpaid time off. The prospect of sequestration has the government sending furlough notices, effective in April.
An assistant U.S. attorney received a note which read, "This memorandum notifies you that the Department of Justice (DOJ) proposes to furlough you no earlier than 30 days from receipt of this notice.
"We recognize the difficult personal financial implications of any furlough, no matter how limited its length. We will make every effort to keep you informed as additional information regarding agency funding becomes available," the letter added.
The Social Security Administration sent a notice Thursday to its employees saying it was seeking to "minimize the risk of furloughs," including limiting future hiring.
One person who's not worried is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He says the United States could owe "an infinite amount of money" and not default.
"We are spending money we don't have," Mr. Bloomberg explained. "It's not like your household. In your household, people are saying, 'Oh, you can't spend money you don't have.' That is true for your household because nobody is going to lend you an infinite amount of money. When it comes to the United States federal government, people do seem willing to lend us an infinite amount of money. … Our debt is so big and so many people own it that it's preposterous to think that they would stop selling us more. It's the old story: If you owe the bank $50,000, you got a problem. If you owe the bank $50 million, they got a problem. And that's a problem for the lenders. They can't stop lending us more money."
Bloomberg also doesn't think spending cuts are the answer.
"Listen, I've worked now in government for 11 years," he said. "One of the problems is the definition of 'waste.' You think the programs that I want are waste. And I think the problems that you want are waste. It's not like somebody is taking wheelbarrows full of dollar bills and throwing them out the window. It's a question of definition, what is 'waste' and what is not. Everything we have was put in by Congress, signed by the president. There was a reason for it, or a constituency for it. Most of the tax breaks are designed to encourage or discourage economic activity. There's a reason for it."
The economic storm clouds began gathering well before the sequester.
Americans' personal income made the biggest drop in January in 20 years. While the administration warned of dire consequences for the government if the sequestration's 2.2 percent budget cut goes into effect, ordinary Americans lost 3.6 percent of their incomes in the first month of the year, compared to the last month of 2012. That's a loss of $505.5 billion dollars to Americans' wallets.
The Commerce Department claims that if you don't count such factors as December dividends to shareholders, income actually increased 0.3 percent in January. But many companies paid early dividends to avoid upcoming tax hikes. Additionally, the payroll tax cut expired in January, causing most workers to pay 2 percent more in taxes this year.
Consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of the U.S. economy, also suffered in January. Spending increased $18.2 billion, or 0.2 percent. Chris Christopher, Jr. of IHS Global Insight, calls that "anemic" and pointed to weak retail sales. He blames the payroll tax cut, saying it "hurt many Americans where it counts – in their pocket books."
The nation's largest retailer, Walmart, blames slow sales on higher payroll taxes, delays in income tax-refund processing and higher gas prices.
Another sign troubles are bigger than the sequester, the Commerce Department reports the economy grew at a 0.1 percent rate from October through December, less than forecast.
Something keeping the U.S. stock market from falling may be little change in inflation. Over the past 12 months prices rose 1.2, the smallest year-to-year gain since October 2009. The rate compares with the central bank's goal of 2 percent. Excluding food and energy costs, prices climbed 1.3 percent in January from the same month in 2012, the smallest year-to-year gain since April 2011.
On Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly defended the central bank's monetary policy before a Senate committee, saying there's little risk of a spike in inflation in the near term.
Criticizing that policy, Sen. Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, called Bernanke the biggest dove since World War II.
"You called me a dove, well maybe in some respects I am, but on the other hand my inflation record is the best of any Federal Reserve chairman in the postwar period – or at least one of the best," Bernanke said, citing the 2 percent average inflation rate.
But Bernanke hedged his bet and warned the sequester could threaten the economy. "The Congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, frontloaded spending cuts required by the sequestration, with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run," Bernanke said.
Bernanke found more blame elsewhere. "High unemployment has substantial costs, including not only the hardship faced by the unemployed and their families, but also the harm done to the vitality and productive potential of our economy as a whole," Bernanke said.
And WND reported the real unemployment rate for December 2012 is closer to 23 percent, not the 7.8 percent reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Commodities expert Jim Rogers, who once managed money with George Soros, says Bernanke has it all wrong and that his monetary policy is merely throwing fake money after bad debts.
In his most recent book, Street Smarts, Rogers says Bernanke "knows little about economics or finance, he has no idea how markets work, and the only thing he truly understands about currency is how to print it."
He says Bernanke misread the crisis, and that's why the economy is stagnant. Rogers believes the financial crisis was about subprime mortgage borrowers and European governments not being able to pay their bills. But he says Bernanke has treated it like a liquidity crisis, flooding the system with cash. That's led to an economy without growth, and dogged by the prospect of inflation.

A look at issues I deem worthy of my time, whether it be politics, religion or medical issues.

Five years later, Asra Nomani is still a lying and manipulative Zionist media whore
Both Pearl and Nomani were on assignment In Pakistan when she managed to get herself knocked up and pregnant by some unnamed guy(it's a long shot but I would not be surprised if it was Pearl). Since returning to the U.S. and having the baby, the self-proclaimed "bad girl of Islam" became part of a manufactured cottage industry of "reformist moslems"(95% of whom aren't even Muslim) whose sole purpose was to "change" Islam into a cultural club of inferiority complex ridden liars and sycophants who would not oppose wars of terror and imperialism, instead demonizing all facets of Islamic spirituality and practice. And of course every one of them is a Zionist bootlicker(the number one prerequisite in this line of work) aka Shabbos Goyim. Color me unimpressed.
The red carpet was rolled out for anyone reading from the same old tattered kosher script : Irshad Manji, Waleed Shoebat, Wafa Sultan etc. Interesting how the "radical Muslim reformer" has not said a thing about the Iraq war, the decline of Muslim civil rights(especially the woman) in the West, Zionist terrorism in the Middle East, the AIPAC choke hold on freedom of expression etc. Silence is complicity, folks. Yet she seems to have no problem expressing support for slanderous tripe like the "Jewel of Medina." She has demonstrated time and time again that she doesn't know Islam or live Islam. The perfect pezz dispensing muppet for western state media. Is it at all surprising that Judeofascists like Phylis Chesler are supporting her?
One of the reasons I got into blogging was to take on the rubbish put out by the neocon/RAND supported Nomani and her pro-regressive MWU cohorts back in their "hey day" circa 2004ish. The pro-regressives didn't last as their lies and schemes were exposed one after the other, alhamdulilah. So why post about Nomani now? Well, it turns out she has a "documentary" out on PBS about her "heroic struggle"(aka antics at the Morgantown masjid). Odd considering that PBS no longer hosts religious based programs. It should has been called "the world according to Asra Nomani : 80 ways to throw a post-menopausal tantrum in over the top theatrical fashion." It's a basically a vilification and harassment campaign by this tramp against the Morgantown Masjid for resisting her nonsense. The manufactured attempts to solicit sympathy through straw man arguments, emotional manipulation, intellectual dishonesty are truly pathetic(as her laughable performance at the "Doha Debates" proved). The woman has the charm and wit of a hard chancre. Conveniently left out from the mockumentary are the following simple facts :
Nomani started her "crusade" against the Morgantown masjid not because of issues related to "equal access" but because of her unpopularity and inability to win a position on the masjid's board of directors. Yes, your daddy may have contributed some money to the masjid but that doesn't guarantee you any kind of position, Asra. This isn't a western client regime based on hereditary dictatorship. Go con a Gulf "emir"(preferably the idiot who blew $10 million on a license plate) into marriage to get that sort of argument rolling.
Nomani lies about her ancestry. She is NOT related to Allama Shibli Nomani, a renowned scholar of Islam from India. His family has confirmed this. Sheikh Shibli Nomani completed his education in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Usul (Islamic principles), Hadith (traditions of prophet Mohammad), Munazra (comparative religious debate), Maqulat (rational science) and astronomy under illustrious scholars like Maulana Farooq Chiryakoti, Hakim Abdullah Jairajpuri and Maulana Irshad Hussain of Rampur. He was also an ardent anti-colonialist. To put it mildly, he was the complete opposite of the sycophantic slattern pretending to be his descendant(not that that helped the son of Nuh(a.s.)). By the way, I'm a descendant of Adam(a,s,), can I make zina halal?
Woman and men praying separately is based on the Sunnah of the Prophet(s.a.w.), and not some straw man arguments about perceived inequality. Stealing terms from the civil rights movement and throwing them into the ignorant mix to create a draconian portrayal l of Islamic practices is beneath contempt. Remember that fake Jummah for show Nomani and Wadud pulled off? If you're a Hadith rejector, then where did get the specifics of praying salah? Let Sheikh Imran Hosein explain to you :
The reason there is no barrier in Mecca is because of the impossibility of managing millions of people coming and going at different times from multiple gates, and even then men and woman are separated in Salah.
In a soft ball interview at Brandies university, a "liberal" Zionist institution, Nomani refers to Hajar(r.a.) as a single mother. This is untrue and reflects her gross ignorance about Islam. Hajar(r.a.) was the second wife of Ibrahim(a.s.) and the mother of Ismail (a.s.), even Muslim children know this.
Now lets be clear, we all make mistakes, but how many of us use them as badges of honor to shamelessly promote ourselves? Pull agent provocateur tactics by dragging a camera crew into the masjid to intimidate and harass worshipers? Can promiscuous bed hoppers go into a house of worship and make obnoxious demands of the faithful? Can dead beat fathers go into a masjid and demand a place on the board of directors while bragging about their dalliances? Can liquor store owners show up at Jummah and declare that their money is clean? Can those who do not follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah honestly call themselves Muslims? Can I pretend to be a victim because I can't change the religion to my paymasters whims? Of course not. So Ms.Nomani, what made you think you could pull your shenanigans and be not called on them? Because you're a woman? You feminists can't have it both ways, behaving like a dog in heatone instant and then playing damsel in distress when in trouble. Yes I'm going to be judgmental about your promiscious life because you put it out in public(with no shortage of personal attacks on those not on the bandwagon) and it just doesn't pass the stink test. You're a liar, a monumental fraud and an attention seeking whore selling yourself by demonizing a community you were never a part of. You're not some starry eyed persecuted young girl fighting for your rights but a middle aged opportunist exploiting the ignorance and fear of Islam in the West to make a living. Having a soft spot for biryani and baklava doesn't make you a Muslim(her pathetic excuse for parents never taught her the difference between culture and religion). Are there Muslims, both men and woman fighting for our rights? Yes, but you're not one of them and never will be anything more then a bazaari aurat. We know you're bought and paid for, munafiqa.

Assalamualaikum Dr Maxtor.
I am so glad when I see you have a new post, because invariably, I know that I'm about to have another new door of the Zionist house of horrors open before me, and it's a house I want to learn about, understand, denounce and fight against.
Thanks for you're efforts in exposing these 'reformist' self claimed Muslims who strangely are never short of a TV interview offer - or three!
I owe you a lot already for what you have posted here and may Allah SWT reward you for your efforts in confronting the worlds ruthless and heartless pimp.
Your list of Zionist crimes was superb and I've informed a number of others about it in recent times.
I don't know Asra Nomani, but I know Asra Nomani's and now I'm happy to be able to add another one, Asra Nomani herself, to the list.
I came across Irshad Manji on Fora TV (http://fora.tv/2008/07/01/Irshad_Manji_and_Dalia_Mogahed_-_Who_Speaks_for_Islam) without knowing anything about her, but her call for reform and reinterpretation of Islam made me cold. Dalia Mogahed countered well saying re-interpretation was what the supposed 'terrorists' had done, so Manji's line was checkmated. Mogahed said a return to classical teaching what the answer.
One thing I should say was that the most significant impact upon Islam, the USUK and it's bastard child the Zionist entity, didn't get the prominence it deserved.
Manji's line reminded me of a story about a year ago about a Turkish movement to reform the understanding of the Qur'an which at the time I equated to re-writing of the Qur'an and horrified me.

Salam DrM.
I guess you're already on the case, but just in case you've got stuck in a time capsule or something:
Actually, I think you did some kind of Ziomafia story a few months back about a meth factory or something. Is this related (other than the ziofraks of course).
Imagine the outrage if it had been Muslims? It is surprising that Rabbi's have been been arrested. I was beginning to think all of them were untouchable.
There not likely to get a juicy presidential pardon for quite some time yet... unless.....

This isn't about Asra Nomani, who I disagree with on many things, but about your writing.
It's embarrassing to read such hateful, malevolent and often vulgar speech from a Muslim. This goes against not only the Holy Qur'an, but also the traditions of the Prophet (saw), who never spoke in such a tone to anyone - let alone someone who claims to be Muslim. You seem critical of Nomani for what you see as slights on Islam, but your own ignorance of the most basic principles of Muslim character is more of an insult to the faith.
- DrMaxtor said...
@Abu Turab,
The post IS about Asra Nomani, and I am well within my right to call her a charlatan and a whore. Theres nothing hateful about it, in fact its well past due that someone calls it like it is. If you really had any real objections to the FACTS I've reported you would have brought them up by now. If you don't like my writing, you're more then welcome to scram because I have no intention of changing my posting style. It will be just as vicious and unforgiving towards the usual suspects.
Given the amount of times your own blog uses the the F-word(cuss words are banned on my blog) I find it hilarious that you're trying to lecture me on adab.
- Abu Turab said...
About my own blog: I have never used that word; it appears in one post, in the context of a quote from the infamous "Hadji Girl" song, which was the subject of the post. Apples and oranges.
The Qur'an says it better than I ever could:
"[But whatever they may say or do,]repel the evil [which they commit] with something that is better: We are fully aware of what they attribute [to Us]." (23:96)
"[But God has full knowledge of the true believer] and of his [despairing] cry: "O my Sustainer! Verily, these are people who will not believe!"
Yet bear thou with them, and say, "Peace [be upon you]!" - for in time they will come to know [the truth]." (43:88-9)
"AND TELL My servants that they should speak in the most kindly manner [unto those who do not share their beliefs]: verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men - for, verily, Satan is man's open foe!" (17:53)
"Endure, then, with patience [all that they who deny the truth may say] - always remembering that it is none but God who gives thee the strength to endure adversity - and do not grieve over them, and neither be distressed by the false arguments which they devise" (16:127)
"Hence, do not contend with those who are false to their trust, but pray God to forgive [them]" (4:106-7)
"But [since] good and evil cannot be equal, repel thou [evil] with something that is better - and lo! he between whom and thyself was enmity [may then become] as though he had [always] been close [unto thee], a true friend!" (41:34)
Salaam ~
- Abu Turab said...
By the way I share many of your criticisms about Nomani. I don't want to come off as defending her views, and in fact I'm working on a quite long critique of her at the moment. Anyway, I hope you can take whatever is positive in my comments - which is from Allah swt, and leave whatever is negative - which is from myself. Salaam bro~
- DrMaxtor said...
Well, well, what have we here, another anti-Muslim pig who doesn't know a thing about Islam, yet comes here to tell us big bad Muslim men how oppressive we are because we, like our Muslim sisters aren't fans of the colonial feminism a hukster like Asra Nomani peddles. BTW Nomani is NOT a member of the Muslim community so who are you insist that she is? The usual Talmudic tricks at work. FYI moron, Allah(swt) is not a man, nor a woman. I would be happy to break it down for you but I have a feeling a brain dead yenta with one foot in the grave is a wasted effort.
I also wasted a minute of my life to check your crappy blog and surprise, surprise, you're a filthy hate mongering Zionist Jew promoting Nonie Darwish, a shabbos goy Evangelical fraudster playing "ex-Muslim," whose lies(including claims of Iraq's mythical WMDs) were exposed a while back. So much for promoting lies and stereotypes against Muslim women eh, hypocrite? Who better to teach us about Islam then hate mongering Jews and their lunatic Evangelical Christian israel loving clergy?
Any other bullsh*t you want me to refute, "pawprinz," or is my foot print on your senile bigoted ass enough for today?
- Aminson said...
God, it's people like you who make me ashamed to be a Muslim, not Asra Nomani. You do know that people without logical argument have a tendency to use curse word in their debated, right? And calling her insults be her gender is even more obvious--you are an attention seeking sexist man who knows that the days of patriarchal society are over. Women are smarter, stronger and surer, and you're scared because the only advantage you have in society is being a man and you use it to control people. By the way, I myself am a man, but I grew up with a strong mother who taught me to respect both genders and you seem to have that lesson missing from your repertoire.
- DrMaxtor said...
For a guy who claims to have an IQ of 140 in his profile, you can't read too well. I doubt a learned Muslim would respond so pathetically. Your shallow opinions on my fact based deconstruction of Nomani's lies and willingness to used by neocon anti-Islamic propagandists means nothing. The fact that you have no interest in verifying the veracity of her slanderous claims tell me how much of a disingenuous, clueless fool you are. You can't dodge logic and drown out the facts by screaming sexism, patriarchy or other code words destructive western liberals(including their trained brown sahib elites) often use.

I guess your mother did not do a good job of raising you. Pue filth is pouring out of your mouth. I am man father of two daughters. Since I read Asra Noamani's Standing Alone I gift her book to every female that I care for. I think she comes through very sincere and rightfully critiszes the practices of like stonning etc for zina and their biased application on women. In seventh century life was very violent and it is conceivable of harsh punishments but it does not justify today. Its about time someone stood against it. Womens bill of rights is a brilliant idea. I get disghusted in most of North American Islamic Centers where smart and learned sisters sitting behind a barrier in lessthan adequate space while fat assed male showinist ignorant pigs sitting giving low IQ halaqa and Khutba. Muslims like you have cut the hans and legs of a great religion. I think you should hush and stop insulting your mother.
- DrMaxtor said...
It's painfully obvious that your parents raised you on a diet of lead chips. Critical thinking is not forte and it shows. If you need a zionist media whore like Nomani(that's exactly what she is, and I challenge you to prove otherwise given her history of lying and misrepresenting Islam, and the Muslim community, including her support for Islamophobia eg. racial profiling, burning the Quran, and Peter King's anti-Muslim witch hunt on Capitol Hill) to teach you about "how to respect women" you're got serious problems. Hard to believe you could actually read her book(or any book for that matter) given the Oxford level grammar you've displayed here. You even type with an accent.
The punishments for zina are totally justified unless you happen to be a byprodict of such a liason. There's nothing inferiority complex suffering desi Tom dollar types like you can do about it. Where did you learn about your religion, pirated Bollywood DVDs? Islam doesn't come from you or Nomani, it comes from Allah(swt) through his Nabi(swt). The Message is eternal and in no need of "updating" to satify the corrupt nafs of munafiqs. Islam has already given men and women their respective rights, and we're NOT going to change the Deen to fit the whims of consumerist, politically correct, secular, white western culture and it's mindless "house moslem" slaves like you.
I challenge you to read the Qur'an and Hadiths before vomiting ignorance towards your betters. You ought to be thankful that guys like me do the research and analysis that imbeciles like you are incapable of doing. Feel free to comment when you're less impaired.

Hello, this is Asra Nomani. So you get a good laugh calling someone a "lying and manipulative Zionist media whore." But I'm curious: Who are you "Dr. M"? You seem to have made it your hobby to mock others. Why don't you have the courage to identify who you are? Are you ashamed of your work that you don't reveal your true identity? Seems only someone ashamed of themselves would hide. Thanks, Asra

@ Maxtor!
JazakAllah for this post !
Not trying to blow my pipes, I had some doubt about the moral validity of my own harsh criticism of bigots and clear enemies of Islam and Muslims who wish to follow it. But after reading this post, which is much tougher on munafiqeen of highest order (in terms of their clear deviation) - i feel satisfied about my own style. This is nothing but little we can do through writing !
"we're NOT going to change the Deen to fit the whims of consumerist, politically correct, secular, white western culture and it's mindless "house moslem" slaves like you. "
Allahu Akbar !

This afternoon CNBC's "Closing Bell" had a segment about Wall Street's embarrassing emails being made public.
The Justice Department released a bunch of emails and IMs from Standard & Poor's analysts in its $5 billion complaint filed this week.
Our CEO and Editor-In-Chief Henry Blodget, who had some emails made public by the government during his analyst days, was on set, too.
Toward the end of the segment, anchor Maria Bartiromo said that one of her New Year's resolutions was to "start emailing like a guy."
Well, that sounds strange.
The reason, she explained, is that women tend to go on and on in emails with phrases such a "how are you" and "hope all is well" blah, blah, blah before they make their point.
Men, on the other hand, will just give you a one-word response such as "yup."
Makes sense now.
Here's the video (Bartiromo's point starts at the 6:30 minute mark):

The last meals of people on death row are actually interesting facts to read about. Upon further research I found an interesting site that actually had all of this information nicely organized. Designers Erik Strom and Steve Bowden have taken this fascination and decided to run with it.
Eric has designed some food trays that have the portraits and the last meal requests of 310 different Texas death row attendees. Each tray contains individual information on each different criminal. It's kind of like Pokemon, gotta collect them all!

A mondo sized finish!
I'm really happy with how this turned out, and how I went from making a throw sized warm/cool quilt to a 90" square warm/cool quilt. It was definitely a lot of work, and working with such a large quilt was definitely challenging, but I'm so happy with the end result that it makes all the headaches along the way disappear.
After much internal discussion, I did some basic free-motion stippling across the whole thing. The size of this bad boy really intimidated me, so I thought I ought to play it safe. I think I'm pretty glad I did - the quilting doesn't distract at all from the awesome design of this quilt, it just gives it some great texture.
The binding is one of my favorite prints from Simon + Kabuki's Juicy Blossoms line for Timeless Treasures - a small gray pindot called Dots Grey that works great as a neutral for this quilt. I adore this binding, wish I had yards and yards of this print!
Thank you again, Jeni, for hosting such a great quilt-along, I really enjoyed it. I've learned so much from you both about fabric and color. You rock! :)
Now, off to make my bed with this fresh from the dryer quilt!!! Happy Monday everyone and happy Labor Day to you!
Quilt Stats
Name: Warm/Cool Diamonds
Size: 90" square
Fabrics: So many that I couldn't possibly name them all...or could I...hmm...
Quilting: All-over meandering stipple, by me, on my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 835
Binding: Simon + Kabuki's Dots Grey from their Juicy Blossoms collection

Reaching the 21st century students require a higher level of technology in the teaching profession, this happens for me when I can attend the most outstanding professional growth in the nation offered through Discovery Education. Networking with teachers from all over the nation, multiple daily collaboration projects created presentations of Web 2.0 from Steve Dembo and a social tour of San Francisco with other star educators. Discovery Institutes not only prepare educators to teach but provides a powerful network base of friendships and memories for years to come.
