Reading almost like an Occupy Wall Street manifesto, bond billionaire Bill Gross' current investment outlook rails against the privilege of the 1% while demanding economic justice for the 99% through increased taxation of the rich.
Writing in his November monthly investment outlook, "Scrooge McDucks," Gross, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $2.2 billion, counsels his fellow 1-percenters to enjoy their cigars and Chateau Lafite wine but recognize their privilege as males coming of age during a credit boom.
"You did not, as President Obama averred, 'build that,' you did not create that wave. You rode it. And now it's time to kick out and share some of your good fortune by paying higher taxes or reforming them to favor economic growth and labor, as opposed to corporate profits and individual gazillions," Gross writes.
Lamenting the decreasing percentage of income he pays in taxes "thanks to Presidents Reagan and Bush 43," the manager of the world's largest bond fund notes a shift in his thinking from that of one who made his wealth through capital to feelings of guilt over the plight of the 99%.
"Having gotten rich at the expense of labor, the guilt sets in and I begin to feel sorry for the less well-off, writing very public Investment Outlooks that 'dis' the success that provided me the soapbox in the first place," he writes.
Gross challenges those who point to the disproportionate share of tax revenues that stem from the wealthy, arguing that his capitalist-class fellows should rather consider the share of national wealth they make. That share, he says, has risen from 10% in the 1970s to 20% today.
Gross argues for "an equitable rebalancing of personal income taxes, capital gains and carried interest," seeing no reason that capital should be taxed at lower rates than labor.
The bond fund manager sees dangerous and portentous trends in the marketplace, wherein companies deliver outstanding profits while consistently showing tepid revenue growth. These S&P 500 companies achieve their profits by cutting expenses and buying back stock instead of reinvesting profits in new plant and equipment, Gross says.
The PIMCO manager then noticed the similarity between the behavior of corporations and that of the U.S. economy.
Just like large U.S. corporations, the U.S. economy exhibits weak revenue growth as measured by GDP that has grown a little over 1% a year on average over the past decade. Meanwhile, the U.S., too, is "cutting expenses" as measured by the declining share of wages to GDP (from 47% to 43% over the past decade). Yet the U.S. is more "profitable," Gross claims, saying before-tax profits as a percentage of GDP have risen from 10% to 14% over the same period.
But the real kicker, he says, is that "the U.S. economy – thanks to the Fed – has been operating a $1 trillion share buyback program nearly every year since late 2008, buying Treasuries but watching much of that money flow straight into risk assets and common stocks instead of productive plant and equipment."
Therefore, the U.S. and global economies have forsaken growth for financial alchemy "based on money printing, credit expansion and cost cutting, instead of honest-to-goodness investment in the real economy."
Investment as a percentage of GDP has declined from 14.6% to 12.2% over the past 13 years, he says, and our national savings rate sunk in recent years to below zero before a recent rebound. "Without savings there can be no investment. Without investment there can be little growth," Gross says.
The PIMCO manager concludes that only taxing the wealthy can help with this situation since "the 99% don't have money anymore…the rich 1% and corporations do."
Specifically, Gross would like to see government and private enterprise jointly fund an infrastructure bank to modernize "our third world airports, third world city streets and third world water systems."
Finally, Gross hopes the U.S. can "challenge more productive economies such as Germany and Canada" by improving equality of income, an area where the U.S. ranks "barley ahead of Spain and Greece."

Why Optimism Matters for Student Success – Now and After Graduation
As a student you may be worried about the future. There is a lot of daunting news available now about the value of a degree, challenges in the job market, and of course, economic conditions. If you pay attention to the news reports you can develop a sense of learned helplessness about events beyond your control. And yet, one thing you do have direct control over is your outlook. Now more than ever, you need optimism or belief in your capabilities, regardless of the circumstances around you. What you believe about yourself ultimately determines how successful you are.
College Students Today
Are college students still optimistic? Recently published reports about optimism among college students suggest that even during an economically challenging time, optimism is still possible.
A survey of first-year students at U.S. colleges was conducted by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP), the research arm of the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. Over 200,000 students nationwide participated in this survey and the results found record low levels of emotional health, with a feeling of being overwhelmed prior to starting college. Yet, these students also reported higher ratings of their academic ability and drive to achieve success. John H. Pryor, lead author of the survey, believes that while this drive to succeed may be contributing to their increased feelings of stress, overall these first-year college students did have a sense of optimism about their future.
Another survey was conducted by the College Board, a nonprofit association that administers the SAT and Advanced Placement tests, titled One Year Out. This was a national survey of 1,500 high school graduates from 2010 and the results found that "despite uncertain times, graduates are surprisingly optimistic, with about 66% convinced that people their age will find jobs and careers." In addition, a majority of these graduates believe that "earning a college degree is worth the time and money."
This research indicates that students start a degree program with the belief that it will lead to a specific result or improvement in their life or career. That's an effective starting point. In order to maintain that belief while going to college, you must also learn to develop an ongoing optimistic attitude, regardless of present circumstances.
A Need for Psychological Capital
When times are good, it can be easy to feel good and continue to put in your best effort. But if there are challenges or news reports that cause questions and fears, your attitude may wane. That's when you need psychological capital, which consists of "efficacy (self-confidence), resilience (a belief that you can bounce back from setbacks), hope (a belief you can achieve your goals) and optimism (expecting good things to happen in the future)." This is more than a feel-good attitude where you say, "don't worry, be happy." It is a carefully cultivated state of mind that "reflects your capacity to overcome obstacles and push yourself to pursue your ambitions." It is a strategy that will help you to perform your best in class, maintain productive working relationships with others, and recognize your talents and strengths.
B. Cade Massey, assistant professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management, believes that "optimism also allows individuals to think more flexibly and creatively," and "when you're engaged in an optimistic mindset, your belief is that things will work out, and you just need to figure out how." This state of mind allows you to develop innovative answers, whereas pessimism can cause you to get stuck in a mental rut. Developing your psychological capital will assist you now as a student and later in your career. It is a skill that inventors and business leaders alike have relied upon as a key to success.
Thomas Astebro, a University of Toronto management professor, conducted a study in 2007 and "found that inventors are more overconfident and optimistic than the general population," and more than "half of the inventors studied continued to spend time on their projects even after receiving advice to cease their effort." This was certainly true for Thomas Edison, who was reported to have made 10,000 attempts before inventing the light bulb.
A more recent example can be found through the life of Steve Jobs. Marc Kuchner, author of Marketing for Scientists: How to Shine in Tough Times, noted that "what made Jobs so great at selling his ideas was his optimism and enthusiasm." How important is enthusiasm? Kuchner indicates that "negative expressions leave a more lasting impression on our psyche than positive ones." Your outlook will influence not only how you perceive the world around you and resulting actions you take, it will influence what others believe or think about you as well.
How You Can Develop Optimism
Martin Seligman, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is a thought leader in the field of positive psychology. His book Learned Optimism added a new dimension to the self-improvement industry.
Seligman's work teaches three main differences between pessimists and optimists, and it is based upon how they address challenges or setbacks:
1. Permanence: Someone with an optimistic perspective will view negative experiences or challenges as a temporary occurrence.
2. Pervasiveness: Someone who is optimistic will view failure as one aspect of life, whereas a pessimistic person will consider their entire life to be a failure.
3. Personalization: Optimistic people look for external causes of negative events and pessimistic people tend to blame themselves.
Stanford University created a self-assessment questionnaire that will offer insight into your attitude (optimistic or pessimistic) and consists of 48 questions. The results will provide scores in all three areas of permanence, pervasiveness, and personalization. Mind Tools offers strategies for the development of an optimistic attitude and includes avoiding negative environments, celebrating your strengths, taking care of your emotional well-being, managing or ignoring what you cannot change, learning to reframe your perspective, and adapting your language and outlook.
An optimistic outlook is directly related to your attitude about the circumstances of your life. Your academic goals are likely related to other long-term goals such as your career. If you are going sustain your motivation and effort while working on your degree, you are going to need more than hard work. You'll also need a positive outlook about your capabilities. While you may not be able to control external events, optimism will allow you to maintain hope and persist while finding opportunities, answers, solutions, and ultimately, success.

Today's phone-in on BBC Radio 4's "You and Yours" programme was entitled "Is social media making us more anti-social". You can listen to it here. It was all a bit predictable really, a succession of luddites rang in to complain about how society was being ruined by people's addiction to screens and devices, interspersed by a few common sense voices. At the same time, twitter was alive with people decrying the points of view being put forward (see the #youandyours hashtag on twitter).
As I say, all a bit predictable. People who prefer to listen to the radio and use the telephone (perhaps the original social media tool, ironically) mainly being in the anti-social media camp; and twitter users being pro. Who would have guessed?
But I feel strongly that people who say that using social media makes us anti-social have been allowed to get away with that accusation for too long. They are wrong. They are the anti-social ones, choosing only to be sociable with a small group of people who happen to be in the same room as them. Those of us who use social media have a whole world of contacts to chose from when we want to communicate. Why cut yourself off from a wide network like that?
This true anti-social attitude is putting some people off from using social media and blocking some possible uses. There are lots of lonely people who would benefit from its networking opportunities. If only they didn't listen to the luddites.

Car hire companies in the UK, Short Term Car Insurance 17 Year Old in Gauteng like every other car owner in the United Kingdom are required by law to have insurance for the vehicle covering third party risk. This mean that the vehicle has to have insurance cover for the eventuality that the vehicle is involved in an incident in which third party property is damaged or a person is injured.
So when you rent a car from a car rental company in the UK this insurance cover will be in place without you having to pay for it directly as part of your rental cost. The car is likely to have comprehensive insurance included in the rental cost. This covers the cost of repair to the vehicle in the event that it has been damaged.

Adding a Driver to a Car Insurance Policy - 3 Tips
If you already have car insurance for your car, you know you are covered in the case of an accident. But, what if you have a new driver in the family, such as a spouse or a teenager? You should add them to your policy, as well.
It is important to know the ins and outs of adding a driver to a car insurance policy so that you make the right decisions.
Decide Whether You Need To Add A Driver
The first decision you need to make is about whether to add the new driver to your policy. It breaks out like this: if the new driver is getting their own car, you will need to insure that car, either under your name or under the new driver's name. (If the new driver will be the primary driver for the car, you will probably want to insure the car under their name.)
3. Take this opportunity to shop your car insurance policy for a better deal: Any time you are adding a new person to your policy or if someone in your family is getting their own policy for their own car, it can be a smart time to shop for a better car insurance deal. Contact 4-5 competing insurance companies and give them your current coverage information. Ask them for a quotation. The whole process can take less than an hour and could save you hundreds in monthly insurance payments.
Follow these 3 tips to add a driver to your car insurance policy.

This is an honor that usually falls to the CEOs of fast-growing publicly-traded companies. But not this morning.
Marc Nager and other team members from Startup Weekend, the Seattle non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurial education throughout the world, took center stage Friday morning at the New York Stock Exchange by ringing the opening bell.
Why Startup Weekend?
The honor came in celebration of Startup Weekend's milestone of helping more than 100,000 entrepreneurs get a taste of startup life through their one-of-a-kind, 54-hour coding marathons.
Here's more from the NYSE:
As a democratizer of entrepreneurship, Startup Weekend makes entrepreneurship accessible to anyone, whether they come from a rural community in Uganda or a bustling metropolis on the East Coast. Startup Weekend is positioned to impact lives on every corner of the globe by offering self-empowerment as the greatest possible sustaining tool for individuals and communities.
Here's Nager and the rest of the the crew ringing the bell. It doesn't look like Nager has the magical touch, however, with the Dow treading in negative territory on Friday.

About a month ago, I decided to challenge myself by create my own version of The Fashion Book, but mine would focus on my favorite things for the coming seasons of spring/summer 2011. At first it seemed easy enough, since there were several items that started with the letters C, D, F and S in my memory bank. The easy street changed pretty fast when letters G, O,Y and Z stalled me for days. Would of been easy to ask for help from friends, but this project I wanted to do on my own, for as long as it would take. Even though this project took a couple of weeks to find something for each letter in the alphabet, including images, writing tidbits and creating templates, I'm happy that I did it all by my lonesome. Now, let's see if I can do this again for Fall!

Rethinking Your Innovation System
Organizing for speed may be the highest-impact step companies can take to rejuvenate innovation.Read the story
As customer expectations grow and markets evolve more quickly, companies need to make sure their innovation engines can keep up.
A key enabler of growth is efficiently bringing new products and services to market while effectively managing the lifecycle of existing offerings. Successful companies optimize research and product development in order to maximize innovation, value, and quality while minimizing cost, time, and risk. They apply lean principles and pursue design excellence.
There are five strategies that can redefine research and product development:
Successful innovation requires a deft combination of insightful creativity and disciplined process. There are three major components to innovation: a strategy comprised of choices on where and how to create growth and value through innovation; a supporting set of processes for research and development; and an enabling set of systems, tools, and capabilities. Like any adaptive system, it should evolve as the external environment and internal needs change.
Bringing new products to market quickly catches competitors off guard and prevents them from influencing results (for example, by cutting the price of an existing product in trial markets)..
Not every idea is going to make it. Trial and error is part of the game; however, many companies draw out the development and testing process, making failures time-consuming and expensive. Effective innovation systems limit waste by knowing when to walk away.
Thanks to a cautious corporate culture, misguided incentives, and fearful decision-making and governance, many businesses only make incremental improvements to existing products rather than introducing new and radical products. How can you add boldness to the mix?
Smart companies across all industries use their IP as both an offensive and a defensive business weapon—and disruptive innovators take it even more seriously. Companies that manage their IP assets effectively control a disproportionate share of IP in their industries and are more successful than their competitors at winning approval for patent applications.

I recently came out (for the 2nd time) to my Catholic husband. It did not go well at all. He wants me to file for divorce if I choose to keep being atheist (as if I can just - poof! - start believing in God again). And if I try to make this marriage work by pretending to be Christian, he wants me to erase the atheism out of our oldest son (really? like our kid's a mindless programmable toy?) and teach the younger two all about the "wholesomeness and truth" of Christianity. Teaching about other beliefs is not an option, either. Living a lie is one thing, but having to teach my kids to believe this religious dogma is heart-wrenching.
Something that's bothering me greatly is that he says God is keeping him from going crazy. I care deeply about my husband even if it's not reciprocated back to me and don't want to cause him mental suffering. He's a good man, just a product of childhood religious indoctrination.
I am leaning toward staying in the marriage to keep our family intact, even if it means pretending to be Christian and promoting it to our kids (the bare minimum, though - just enough to please the husband). Has anyone made this choice? Any words of wisdom, pro or con?
Views: 912
Your story is heart-wrenching. There are many things I could say but I want to put this one thing out there, because you are very hung up on divorce as being bad for the kids. My parents divorced when I was 7, and I think it is one of the best things they ever did. They were not good together, and there was so much tension and unhappiness in the house that even a first grader could feel it. Eventually they both remarried, and my step-parents never fit that "evil step" stereotype - they were both great people that I learned a lot from and who I feel lucky to have had in my life as I was growing up.
Divorce can be difficult on the kids - certainly, we struggled financially when my mom was a single mom, and there were sacrifices. But I think it is much, much worse to be raised in a house of secrets and lies and distrust. Consider the model you are presenting for your kids (obviously, unlike your husband, you know they can't be easily fooled!)
Just thought I would say this, as I don't want you thinking staying=good for kids and leaving=bad for kids, because that's not necessarily a true thing. It may help to think of divorce as being a process, after which new possibilities and options await. And I really do think you might benefit from counseling - it can't hurt to have someone to talk to in this difficult time, especially if you are struggling with depression.
My reasoning for staying in the marriage is my concern for the kids. If I couldn't be with them as much, what would dh be telling them about religion? At least now I can be a witness to such conversations and inject a little rationality to get the kids thinking more.
IMHO, if you go back to pretending, one of two things will happen. You will either end up back in this situation eventually, or live the rest of your life in a constant state of quiet unhappiness.
Put the burden on him since he's made the ultimatum. It sounds like either he is bluffing, or wants you to file because he has no legal grounds to file himself (depending on the laws of your state). If he thinks its a big enough issue to break up your family over, let it be by his hands, not yours. All you've done is be honest with yourself and him.
Spending this past month pretending to be something I am not has been more devastating than I thought it would be. Emotionally, I feel vacant. And it's not like before when I was just being quiet about my atheism. Now my husband is watching me carefully. There is a change in how he interacts with me. More cold, more silence. I feel like I lost my best friend and he's been replaced by an alien.
Our state has no-fault divorce, so it doesn't really matter who files for it. But he wants to do the deed. I refuse because I never want him to throw it in our kids' faces that I initiated things.
Your husband suggested divorce, it's on the table. I'd recommend against it if possible, but you should talk to legal counsel (one hour only!) for advice in that area, even if it is a no-fault state.
re: a prior response - If he's on the outs on catechism classes, he's probably of the right mind to eventually see the error of his ways.
Now for the kicker - If you aren't happy, the kids can tell. If you can defend your position the kids will pick up that mom is not gonna let this roll her over. Likely they already feel your opinion, even if they can't verbalize it. You gotta act for you!
"...he is being highly controlling in an unhealthy manner."
this comment rigns true, to me. many of the things you are saying sound similar to the defense of their husband by battered women. while emotional vs. physical abuse are not equal, the effects can be just as devestating. this is a highly personal issue, and a decision that can only be made by you. childred certainly complicate things, but you also need to consider your own personal needs. i wish you luck in this difficult time.
I dated a Catholic girl.She was so brainwashed with the religious dogma.It has always got me how religious people believe you can just start believing in a god.I don't believe anyone can live a lie and that is what he is asking of you.
Sorry I'm so late to the party.
I'm wondering if anyone is addressing the actual problem. Human relationships are sometimes complicated, but also they sometimes have problems that are common.
There's this thing called hormones. We're all familiar with how they make us happy or caring or protective. But there seems to be, as I've gleaned over the years, a set of hormones designed to aid procreation. There are these itches - the three-year-itch, the five-year-itch, the seven-year-itch and the eleven-year-itch. The way it works, in my understanding, is that if you have not had a child in a given amount of time, those hormones that brought you together in the first place change and you find yourself uncomfortable around your mate/spouse. It's nature telling you that since you aren't procreating for some reason, you should find a new mate.
The upshot is that you begin to find fault with your spouse. It may be over finances or maybe you just can't stand to be in the same room with them anymore. You bicker, complain, and generally feel miserable. It's important to know about this because, in some cases, a marriage could be saved if you were aware of what is actually going on. Because it isn't about the finances or the habits or whatever else, it's about those persnickety hormones.
I can only imagine that throwing religion into the mix makes it even more volatile.
I was raised Catholic and my family was never staunch, but individuals would change their beliefs when they didn't match their needs or desires. For example, I had aunts who divorced at a time when that meant excommunication. There are varying degrees of Catholicism, and Catholics can be very tolerant. There's that old saying that all Jesuits are actually atheists . . .
So I have to ask, rhetorically, whether the real problem is about religion, or if that's a convenient wedge to attempt to regain control over an otherwise endangered relationship? And since this thread is months old, how is it going now?
Herk, you came to the party late but you brought with you an insight that I'm willing to bet will in a few years be supported by research: the itches you describe result from hormonal change.
In work I once did, I enjoyed the humor in the idea that when puberty begins Ma and Pa Nature replace a kid's blood with hormones. Those hormones are indeed powerful, and the hormonal change you suggest would have evolutionary advantage. Were I doing hormone research I would consider designing a study that would test for the existence of such change.
BTW, I spent two years in a Jesuit-taught high school and I enjoyed your point about their being atheists. It reminded me of a similar view among Buddhists: He who carves the Buddha does not worship the Buddha.
There actually has been research done on this. It's been a couple of years since I've read anything new about it so I don't have a link to hand, but I didn't make it up. It may not have been expressed exactly the way I worded it, but being an old coot, I remember going through something very similar myself. My daughter was about 10 when the itch hit.
Here's an article that at least touches on these problems.
And here's another article. I'm not finding one that specifically speaks to the opposing revulsion that drives people apart when they are no longer reproducing, but I have read about a study that specifically addresses that.
Herk, thanks for the leads to the articles. I might rework a few of their points into a short talk on brain chemistry and use it to springboard to a talk on free will and determinism, which I usually describe as a subject that keeps philosophy professors employed.

if those blood sucking SOB's have any money at all, I want my 3 weeks vacation that I had coming. they told us the last day that they didn't have enough money to buy a stinking stamp for our last pay check to be sent to us. What a bunch of #/!$$$$$$ losers
I am with you on that one. The blood sucking SOB's got to take their vacations (plus some) with pay.
Yep that is the way they had it planned. To hell with the employees that busted there butts for them all through the years. They were only in this to get their pockets richer. Bob Parker tought them all that very well. And even after he was gone the others guys were just like him & his mafia squad. They knew the employees would not have a leg to stand on (in more ways then one,) so they said well lets just SCREW them over some more. Could see it happening before they ever said they were closing. Line their pockets then close it up and what will anyone be able to do? There were a few of the bosses at the O that got their pockets pretty full as well. No need to mention names...but who were the last 2 supervisors left there to run the plant till the end???? Them 2 were the yes men that kissed their asses from day one and they got their pockets lined pretty well also.But of course we are suppose to be so dumb that we don't know that. Hell no they could not give the vacations out because that would take money away from their pockets. And they did not want to take it away to buy stamps with either. Yes you are so right...they are a bunch of SOB's
You are exactly right. We can only hope that something else will come in there that will employee several hundred people and pay decent. It is hard to start over after 10-20-30 years there. Insurance is another thing. I am sure there are a lot of people with out insurance now. If they do have it, I am sure it is not the best insurance. It is a sad situation thanks to those blood sucking SOB's.
This could explain why they new insurance that went into effect on 07/01 isn't being honored. The premium HAS BEEN taken out of the employees checks, but if they were in the hole $61,565.65 on a medical insurance disbursement account on 6/30 (which would have been for the old policy), how do we know that the premium was paid for the new policy? We were given a line that "things that were promised weren't delivered", inferring that it was the new provider that is dropping the ball, but could it be that they simply haven't been paid by O'Sullivan's?
I agree. For the past few years, we've all taken up the a-hole. There should be a law against thievies like this.
I never even got my packet for the insurance. They never took any money out but can't even get ahold of the company so I can cancel it. Does anybody know how to get ahold of the company I would really like to talk to somebody? Also if anybody had universal life insurance and haven't called to cancel needs to do so if you want, you will get a check back for cancelling it I got 455.00 back helped on bills. This was the insurance we went into the cafeteria and signed up for the no. is 1-800-635-5597 you will also need to know what your policy number is. If you get an answering machine just tell them you want to cancel your policy and they will send you papers to sign so you can.

superstitions associated with quilting

www.history.org/conted this must be where I got these from.... :oops:
If you spend your life trying to avoid stepping on any cracks, and you happen to love quilting you should enjoy some of the following superstitions that a reader submitted. Let us know if you have others to add to the list.
Stitching Superstitions by Lorena O'Connor of Silver Spring, MD
"Someone was weaving cloth one day when they discovered that two or three layers were warmer than one. Thus the process of quilting was born.
And down through the years, superstitions associated with quilting have also been born. If you're a quilter you probably already know many of them. So, the next time you are stitching with your friends, you might want to share some of these stitching superstitions."
If you begin a quilt on Friday, you will never live to finish it. (this must be the day I start mine!!!!!)
Never quilt on Sunday. It is the day of rest.
If a thread breaks, it will bring misfortune.
Stitching a spider web design into a quilt will bring good luck.
Love and Marriage
Design a bridal quilt with continuous borders of vines or ribbon-
like patterns. A broken border is said to foretell a broken marriage.
If an unmarried girl puts the last stitch in the quilt, she will become
an old maid. (Though I don't have any plans, best keep me away from the last stitch just in case!)
If a girl shakes a new quilt out the door, the first man who comes
through the door will be her future husband.
When a quilt is first taken off the frame, wrap it around an
unmarried woman to give her luck in finding a mate, or throw it at
the first single man she sees to charm him into a relationship.
Marriage quilts should be laid out fresh so that dreams on the first
night will come true.
If two people shake a cat in the quilt, the one near where the cat
runs out will marry first.
A girl who begins piecing a quilt will not marry until it is finished.
After finishing a quilt, the first one over whom it is thrown will be
married first.
If someone wraps you in a new quilt, you will get married within a
If you break a needle, the next baby will be yours.
After a quilt is completed, the quilter should sleep with the quilt one night and then give it to the special person it is made for.
When a person is ill, it is said if they sleep with a quilt, all the love from the quilt will heal them.
Never make human figures on a quilt. It is believed the figures will walk and visit you at night.
If anyone starts a quilt in the form of a star, someone in the family will die before it is finished. (No star formed quilts in my future!)
If you dream while sleeping under a quilt for the first time, the dream will come true.
There are four corners to my bed,
on which I now this new quilt spread.
May I this night in trouble be,
and the one I love come rescue me.

Josh Fogg: 25 IP, 9.00 ERA
Mike Lincoln: 21.2 IP, 6.65 ERA
Todd Coffey: 15.1 IP, 6.46 ERA
David Weathers: 16.1 IP, 4.96 ERA
That's 108 innings of suck. A 7.08 ERA over those 108 innings. Those innings are relevant when looking at how the Reds have performed in 2008, they are not relevant when looking at how the Reds are going to perform in 2009/2010. None of those guys are going to be around then (save maybe Belisle in the bullpen). The flip side of this is that the good numbers Affeldt and Mercker have also shouldn't be considered.
If you want to evaluate the Reds' chances of being good in the future you need to look at the players who are still going to be here:
Aaron Harang
Edinson Volquez
Bronson Arroyo
Johnny Cueto
Francisco Cordero
Jared Burton
Bill Bray
Those seven have combined for 313 innings of 3.76 ERA. It's not a full pitching staff, but it's a nice start. Those are the guys who will throw the lion's share of the innings over the next few seasons. It illustrates that the problem with the Reds staff is not that our best pitchers are worse than other teams' best pitchers, it's that our bad pitchers are worse than other team's bad pitchers.

It … IS spring yet!
Let the frantic overschedulation begin!
As if the magazine table wasn't already overflowing with seed catalogues, spring garden-class schedules are poking up from my mail pile like thistle seedlings (and no, I haven't seen any of those yet, but I did yank two dandelion seed heads just the other day. When did those *&^%s bloom?).
This month is full of major, inexpensive opps to shoot your gardening skill-bag full of life-giving nitrogen, er, knowledge. This is just a sampling.
Garden stars and fellow northies (when they're not living in Texas) Lauren Springer Ogden and Scott Ogden bring their "Plant-Driven Design: Creating Gardens that Honor Plants, Place and Spirit" to Fort Collins Nursery on Valentine's Day (the fee's $15, and the morning session's already booked, so hustle, peeps). If you haven't heard of the Ogdens, click here for a glimpse of the philosophy embodied in their latest book.
The nursery's got a host of other classes slated for this month and next as well, with titles that range from Food Dehydration, From Garden to Table, A Year in the (Dry) Garden, and more. Dates, times and fees here.
Also up north, there's a gonzo garden day Saturday, Feb. 28, offered by the High Plains Landscape Workshop. Here's the descrip of the featured class:
"Beyond Sustainability: Landscaping for the Spirit" Martin Mosko and Alxe Noden, Marpa Design Studio, will show how to take landscape design beyond sustainable to regenerative. Learn about contemplative gardens; their basic principles, and how to create them in any style, in any setting, on any budget. Using xeric or native plants, and environmentally-sound methods is a start, but the result must be beauty and a place for renewing and refreshing the spirit.
Sounds like just what a gardener needs to settle the soul after sending in a big, fat, ambitious seed order. Details on the workshop here; there's also a link to a PDF of the brochure that describes the other class sessions available. These workshops fill fast, so don't delay.
This is your brain; this is your brain on impending-spring adrenaline. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Up 1,105 this week
The blonde, sultry, dreamy-eyed beauty of Dorothy Malone, who was born in Chicago, Illinois, took some time before it made an impact with American film-going audiences. But once she did, she played it for all it was worth in her one chance Academy Award-winning "bad girl" performance, a role quite unlike the classy and strait-laced lady herself. ... See full bio »

In my opinion, the Internet is a very fast and convenient way for me to get information. I can also communicate with my friends and relatives by means of e-mail or chatting. However, I dont use the Internet very often because I dont have much time. For me, the Internet is a wonderful invention of modern life. It makes our world a small village.

Tracey G., Jacksonville, FL -- "I saved $150.00 three weeks ago when I had my teeth bleached. It would have cost $300.00 without AmeriPlan®. Over the past two years, AmeriPlan® has saved me over $3,500.00!"
Matthew J., New York, NY -- "Recently, I had a severe toothache on a Saturday night. I called around and was told that it would cost me $200.00 just to open up the dentist' s office! I waited until Monday and went to an AmeriPlan® dentist; it was my first time using the plan. I remember going to the bank and taking out a large amount of money, having no idea how much it would cost me. They took x-rays and extracted the tooth for a total of $57.00, Without AmeriPlan®, this would have cost me around $345.00. I was so happy! My wife could not believe it. From that day on, we kept using AmeriPlan®!"
Sarah B., Las Vegas, NV -- "I was at the dentist and saved about $150.00. The dentist I found from the AmeriPlan® list was so nice and very generous to not only give me my discount for being

Father, we thank you for the gift like no other, the gift of a mother. We thank you for the women of virtue, glory and grace that you chose to give us birth and for those who adopted. We thank you for the care, nurture and love they have given us.
We thank you father for the sacrifices they have made for us. For those who sacrificed their career and financial security for our sake, we pray that you reward them beyond their expectations. For those who had to work two jobs to make sure that we had a better life than they did, we pray that you give them their heart's desire in abundance.
We thank you for the mothers who raised their children in the fear of the Lord and led them by example. For all that they have done for their children, for being their nurse when they were sick, for being their protector form harm, for being their teacher, for being their nurturer and even for the times they had to discipline their children.
We thank you for the mothers who stayed with their children, never neglecting or abandoning them, in spite of the hard ships they faced, we pray now for their continued strength, courage and guidance. Father, please bless and keep them all, in Jesus' name, amen!

This weekend across the world of Christendom, in churches and holy places of worship, the pews will be filled with worshipers, traditionalists and spectators. For many this will be the first return to Church since New Year's Sunday and will be the last until thanksgiving or even Christmas Sunday.
Although tainted by the corrupt elements of colored hardboiled eggs and bunnies, Easter still holds it's true meaning for many. For many, Easter is a time of celebration, but the ways they choose to celebrate is a far cry from the true meaning of Eater. Many young people will loose their virginity and some will become parents to illegitimate children. Others will do drugs and alcohol for the first time and develop a lifelong habit of substance abuse. Countless more will find themselves at nightclubs and house parties, gyrating their bodies and subjecting their spirits to the carnal praise of satan. Not to mention, the innocent children that will venture out on egg hunts and participate in costume competitions, all in the name of celebrating Easter.
Some of the greatest atrocities of deception will be played out against many millions of unsuspecting and uninformed Christians. Don't be one of them!
Contrary to the erroneous yet popular interpretations of Easter, Easter is not about partying, eggs and bunnies, but Easter is about the celebration of the death and the resurrection of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. The bible tells us in Psalm 51: 5 saying; Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Romans 6:23 says: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
According to this text, we were all born with the terminal illness of sin, present in our heart and were sentenced to death because of it. But, because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, those who believe have been granted the gift of eternal life. John 3:16-17 says it best: 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Knowing this is truly a cause for great celebration.
When Jesus died, He destroyed the powers that the enemy had over us. Hebrews 2: 14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Knowing that we don't have to die and go to hell because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, is great cause for celebration. There should not be a single soul that lives who is not giving sovereign worship and outrageous praise unto God.
Equally important as the death of Christ, is His resurrection from the grave. Having conquered death, hell and the grave, Jesus arose triumphantly and victoriously with power, on the third day, just as He said. Because Jesus lives, we too can live. This is why Christians celebrate Eater.

Thank you all for your patience. The team has been working overnight to resolve the recent issues with Video Bingo Deluxe.
What happened:
Yesterday, August 28th, a new theme was inadvertently released for Video Bingo Deluxe entitled "Daub 'Round the World" on GSN.com. Once this theme was released, the previous "Summer Sizzler" themed game became unavailable.
Once the issue was identified, the "Summer Sizzler" themed game was reintroduced back on the site at around 9:45pm (ET). For those who never played "Daub 'Round the World," your progress within the "Summer Sizzler" mini-game is saved as normal. Unfortunately, for those who did play "Daub 'Round the World," your progress within the "Summer Sizzler" theme was reset.
For those negatively impacted:
We are very sorry for these recent issues, and the team is reviewing all that happened to ensure that this incident was a one-time occurrence. Also, for those whose progress was reset, we will be crediting 50,000 tokens and 5,000 Oodles within the next 12 hours.

Kassel, the city that became the hub of the contemporary art world with its documenta exhibition, also owes much of its cultural renown to the legacy of the Brothers Grimm. A city that has always fused tradition with innovation to great effect; a city in possession of one of Europe's most palatial gardens, the Wilhelmshöhe Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, and with it a landmark like no other, the Hercules monument.
Once upon a time... there were two brothers who lived many a year in Kassel, where they penned timeless classics such as their collection of 'Children's and Household Tales' and their reference book of German grammar. Because they were so famous, the literary pair are still honoured in Kassel to this day at the Grimm World, as well as at anniversary celebrations, conferences and exhibitions. Two hundred years ago brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm published their first book of fairytales, having already made names for themselves as linguists, legal historians and committed democrats. In 2013 the Brothers Grimm year of celebrations in Kassel will also pay tribute to their younger brother, painter Ludwig Emil Grimm. It goes without saying that Kassel is one of the major checkpoints along the German Fairytale Route, a 600km tour dedicated to the life and works of the Brothers Grimm.
Kassel puts as much emphasis on preserving its Grimm heritage as it does promoting the city's defining modern-day event. The documenta is the world's leading contemporary art exhibition, an occasion of great distinction, a showcase for the latest trends in international art. The venue for the exhibition has been the Fridericianum since 1955, while the Documenta Hall was added in 1992 for documenta 9. The number of visitors has continued to grow ever since the first show, reaching 860,000 in 2012. And with megastars such as Brad Pitt among the guests, it's likely to attract even more art fans next time round. A date for your diary (should your diary go that far): the next documenta is on from 10 June to 17 September 2017.
The outdoor exhibits are a firm fixture at the documenta. Some of the most spectacular are now integral parts of the cityscape, for instance the 7,000 Oaks project by Joseph Beuys, Claes Oldenburg's giant pickaxe on the banks of the Fulda and Jonathan Borofsky's Man Walking to the Sky. These eye-catching artistic landmarks enhance a city that owes its appearance to a conscious effort to erect new buildings after the Second World War, rather than to restore the old ones that had been destroyed – so as to make a clean break from the legacy of the past. Today, Kassel is very proud of its numerous successful examples of 1950s architecture, such as the Treppenstrasse ensemble, which has long been under a preservation order. In recent decades, however, there has been a drive to rejuvenate the city centre and significantly increase its appeal with modern new buildings, public art and the redesign of open spaces in an unconventional style. Kassel also has one of the oldest theatre scenes in Germany. The Ottoneum, the country's first permanent theatre and the precursor to today's Kassel State Theatre, dates back to 1605. Wilhelmshöhe Palace with its spectacular collection of Rembrandts is a must-see, as are the city's excellent museums. Art from the previous two centuries is on display at the New Gallery, and Goethe's famous elephant is exhibited at the Natural History Museum in the Ottoneum. The Museum of Astronomy and Physics, meanwhile, reveals captivating insights into the secrets of astronomy, the measurement of time, geodesy, mathematics and physics. Not a secret, however, is the fact that Wilhelmshöhe with the Hercules monument is Europe's largest hillside park. Its 240 hectares, laid out in the English style, are a work of art combining nature, architecture and landscape design. And when it comes to works of art, you'll soon realise that they are everywhere you turn in Kassel.

Monk McQueens restaurant closing after 26 years
A long-standing Vancouver restaurant is shutting its doors after 26 years. Monk McQueens Fresh Seafood & Oyster Bar (601 Stamps Landing) will close following a New Year's Eve party on December 31, 2012. The restaurant located on the waterfront of False Creek was known for serving fresh seafood and weekend brunch, as well as being a popular location for tourists and large parties.
"Since opening for Expo 86, we've had an incredible run at Stamps Landing," Bob Lindsay, owner of Monk McQueens and Coal Harbour's LIFT Bar & Grill (333 Menchions Mews), stated in a news release today (November 30). "We've employed well over 2,000 people, and had a tremendous impact on the community. Find me a Vancouverite that hasn't been in love or fallen in love on Monk's deck!"
Taking over from Lindsay will be the Mahony family, owners of Mahony & Sons Public House. The False Creek restaurant will be the third location for the traditional Irish pub, which already has establishments in UBC and at Canada Place. Mahony's will open in summer 2013 after renovations.
"We are very proud and excited to be opening Mahony & Sons Stamps Landing and look forward to being a part of the growing South False Creek community," Chris Mahony, proprietor of Mahony & Sons stated in the same news release.
Diners interested in joining Monk McQueens staff for their final service can find details for the restaurant's New Year's Eve "retirement party" on the restaurant's website.

Oh no!! One of my summer faves and a glorious place to take visitors. Another pub at that location we don't need! I'm sorry the location couldn't attract a similar mix of fine food and oysters. Does that now mean Stamps will struggle to compete?
Dec 1, 2012 at 11:36am
I live in the neighbourhood but I rarely went to Monk McQueens.
And I won't miss it.
It's another of those restaurants that overcharges for small portions of pretty ordinary food because the view out the windows is beautiful.

Thank God. Their quality of food has gone from bad to worse at Monk's.
Dec 4, 2012 at 3:46am
Isn't there already an Irish Pub there? Right behind Monks.
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:04pm
I sure hope that our neighbourhood won't be affected by later hours and more noise. Although my family has enjoyed the other, smaller restaurants at Stamps Landing, we have enjoyed our meals at Monks...
Dec 14, 2012 at 5:48pm
What are they thinking? It's a residential neighborhood, a Pub will not last..The neighbors will be on them - and good for them. The noise, the traffic will not be tolerated!
Dec 17, 2012 at 8:08pm
I live in the area and went to Monks a few times. The food was alright for me - but the view and service was very good.
One thing I appreciated about Monks was the fact they encouraged their patrons to respect the neighborhood as they left the building. Patrons from the Wicklow Pub can be extremely loud and rambunctious late in the evening.
I have no problems with a new pub, if that's the type of fare that Vancouver wants and it treats the city right, then I am all for it.
I do hope the new management, and patrons, are as considerate as Monks was in regards to the neighboring community.

Just heard about Monk McQueens' closing - My husband & I have been married for 20 yrs. as of July 1st last year. We moved to Calgary just before getting married and have had a wonderful life - throughout all of the trial & tribulations we are still together and more deeply in love than we ever could have known. We had our wedding ceremony AND reception at McQueens -- was that the top restaurant? Can't recall - anyway we had a FABULOUS ceeremony & reception for 75 of us - it was a Wed. and the ceremony was about 11am, reception from about noon onward. The details of the entire day were taken care of by 'Diana' who worked there and helped make our wedding day absolutely amazing - we couldn't have asked for a more relaxed, beautiful, classy & elegant wedding day. Thank you Monk McQueen's for making our wedding a smashing success, just like the rest of our lives (with a few bumps along the way ... :) )

Norway-AdvenTURes was started because they discovered the magnificent multitude of natural resources available in this coastal area with glaciers, mountains, fjords, cliffs, islands and the sea. And these were not yet discovered by (inter)national turists and realized, as a foreigner myself, that without proper guiding this special area would remain unknown and untouched regardless of the number of people passing by would never be able to enjoy this natural beauty. Simply because you won't find your way to these special spots on your own.
By sharing our love for outdoor activities and wild nature we make our dream come true and make a living at the same time in a healthy and endurable way. We do this by providing a nice place to stay as a base for our guided tours, where we will provide you with as much local informasjon and culture as you like.
The activities
Our main activities are mountain hiking and seakayaking. Simply because almost everybody is able to do this and enjoy the spectaculair nature best this way. On a high mountain lake we have canoes for a surprisingly nice trip.Other wateractivities such as sailing, (scuba)diving and waterskiing, searafting etc. are also available as a natural result of cristal clear water, white sandy beaches and deep fjords. The sea, fjord and lakes are loaded with fish and will not even disappoint the most experienced fisherman. Besides fishing we offer deerhunting in spectaculair natural surroundings. Mountain climbing and freeriding on skies is only done by a very few, this makes enjoying the endless possibilites even more fun.
The list is endless, just come and decide for yourself.

small change, major impact
people love stojo
Love it! I can now make my coffee at home, take it on the train and then collapse the cup to fit in my handbag instead of carrying a solid thermos cup or wasting money (and resources) by purchasing coffee to take away every day. It doesn't leak at all, (although my thermos cups from a major coffee chain always did) and I haven't had any problems with my Stojo. I've just bought three more as gifts!
This is a great product. Got it for camping but seem to be using it every day. Ended up getting two more for my son and wife. I am particularly happy that they added the separate ring to add stability!
I love my stojo cups. This collapsible cup fits well into many aspects of my life. I can store the cups in my purse or my backpack. I wash my cups in the dishwasher, so they are very easy to clean. I remember having a collapsible cup as a child at summer camp and so this cup is nostalgic. I definitely recommend the stojo cups. It's a perfect addition to a picnic.
It is genuinely "leak-proof" (within reason) so much so that I often leave the last swig of coffee in the bottom segment of the cup - that way 2 hours later, I've got a half of shot of black coffee to enjoy! I'd give the design and company a 10/10!

What a "Novel" Idea!Thursday, January 4th, 2007
Not to diminish the efforts of SilverBlue in any way whatsoever, but I am writing a book as well. My book, however, is fiction and will in no way be a photographic ensemble suitable for coffee tables everywhere so, rest easy my friend.
My novel is set in rural Harnett County, North Carolina in the early 1900′s and centers on the musings of a 6 year old boy called "Tink" (no relation, either real or intended, to Tink of the Blogosphere). The title, "When Skeltons Rattle", refers to Tink's interpretation of the old adage about having skeltons in one's closet. As you can imagine, a 6 year old's mind can do some wild things with such an idea.
Tink's real name is Thomas Henry Parrish and he is the younger brother of Jasper and Allie Mae. Aside from his dog, Samson, his best friend is a raggedy old man known only as Ol' Harley. Tink and Ol' Harley spend a lot of their time either playing checkers at John Allen Campbell's store down at the crossroads or fishing at their favorite spot in the woods below Carson Stewart's hog farm.
Things in Tink's world start changing in a big way when a not so likeable fellow from the other side of Oxford comes to the area. Mr. Alonzo Jackson Barefoot (emphasis on the "A") has a hateful attitude, demands to be addressed by his full name (a demand not often met), and ends up becoming Tink's brother-in-law by way of a "shotgun wedding" orchestrated by Tink's Papa.
Want to find out more? I'll let you know when the book is finished and ready to go. Who knows…maybe I'll even give you a peek at it every now and then.

UCSF lapses mean research animals suffer
USDA cites research lab lapses over many years
The details are chilling, even gruesome.
Due to negligence or errors, laboratory mice at UCSF had toes removed without anesthesia. Several animals, including birds and a squirrel monkey, received little or no pain medication after surgical procedures. In one instance, a primate starved for weeks. In another, mice died of thirst. And for nearly two years, a rhesus monkey remained in a brain study despite chronic and painful complications.
A Chronicle review of laboratory inspection reports by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's animal welfare division, and an examination of UCSF's internal list of incidents, reveal that in the seven years after UCSF paid more than $90,000 to settle federal findings that its researchers violated the Animal Welfare Act, incidents of animal neglect or mistreatment have persisted.
Some were violations of the federal law, which covers mammals larger than rodents. Other incidents involved the many other animals protected by research protocols that demand humane treatment of all creatures, from reptiles to rats.
UCSF has one of the largest medical research programs in the country and relies on hundreds of thousands of animals as its researchers try to develop treatments for diseases of all kinds. Last year, 85 percent of its lab animals - nearly 800,000 - were rodents, fish, amphibians and reptiles, the university said. UCSF also used 98 primates, 162 birds and 467 rabbits.
The USDA enforces the Animal Welfare Act at research institutions around the country, usually with one unannounced visit a year. The inspectors look for violations, which can trigger a second unannounced visit to see if they're fixed. Repeated violations can lead to fines.
Inspectors also issue citations if an institution fails to follow research protocols established by its own animal oversight committee. The panels are charged with minimizing lab animals' pain and suffering.
Oversight committees
Researchers are also required to report negligence or errors to their animal oversight committees, which at UCSF has led to experiments being canceled and employees being retrained or fired.
University officials declined to be interviewed on matters concerning animal welfare. Instead, they responded in writing to questions relayed through a spokeswoman.
"The university takes very seriously the care and use of the animals it studies, beginning with ensuring that as few animals as possible are used in research," spokeswoman Barbara French said in a statement.
She said UCSF uses computer models and cultured cells for research if it can. If those won't work, researchers turn to animals.
"Every proposed study undergoes rigorous review" by UCSF's animal oversight committee, French said. Additionally, four full-time staff members make sure researchers and technicians comply with requirements for humane treatment.
The university has had no federal penalties imposed since 2005. But inspectors have cited UCSF repeatedly since then for violating the Animal Welfare Act or for violating its own research protocols.
UCSF's size cited
Asked why problems persist, French said that "failures to follow policies, guidelines and protocol can occur" at large medical or research programs. Considering its size, UCSF has had few incidents, she said.
Some of the federal citations have involved dirty or contaminated conditions, such as machinery oil leaking into cages awaiting animals. Others were for causing unnecessary pain and distress to animals.
This year, for example, inspectors cited UCSF for poor monitoring of eight voles, a type of rodent, in a degenerative brain disease study.
Researchers were supposed to record signs of disease before euthanizing the animals "at the earliest point possible" to avoid unnecessary suffering. But an inspector found that no one monitored the infected voles over a weekend. Three died of brain disease without yielding any data for the study, and all may have suffered unnecessary "discomfort, distress and pain," federal inspectors said.
It was a repeat violation. That and other violations led federal inspectors to make a second, unannounced visit in June that produced no further citations.
David Sacks, a USDA spokesman, declined to compare UCSF's performance with that of other institutions, saying that even one violation can be more egregious than many less-serious ones. He called the Animal Welfare Act a baseline and said institutions "have to follow protocols to the letter."
"The goal is for these facilities to adhere to these regulations every day," Sacks said. "Then we know that those animals at a minimum are receiving humane care and treatment."
In 2005, UCSF was required to pay $92,500 to settle violations cited by the USDA from 2001 to 2003. Veterinarians weren't providing proper care for many animals, including primates, sheep, lambs and rabbits, inspectors found, and UCSF's animal oversight committee wasn't properly reviewing or approving research protocols.
The penalty was among the largest ever imposed for violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
"It's a very substantial monetary penalty," Sacks said. "In terms of our enforcement actions, we want them to match appropriately with the nature of the violations."
Not everyone agrees that the penalties are large enough to be a deterrent.
Lucrative grants
"You would think that UC would clean up its act and not have these deficiencies anymore. But $92,000 is chump change for them because these research grants bring in millions - it's the cost of doing business," said Lawrence Hansen, a neuropathologist at UC San Diego who sued UC in 2007, saying state money was being used to support animal cruelty. A Superior Court judge called it a federal issue and dismissed the case.
"I don't disapprove of the use of all animals in research, as long as the animals don't suffer," said Hansen. "What they're doing to these monkeys is so inherently cruel and painful that it's impossible to do it without causing a great deal of pain and suffering."
Concerned that the federal law is too weak to protect lab animals from unnecessary harm, animal rights groups try to monitor their welfare by combing through inspection reports.
Rhesus in pain
This year, one such report about a rhesus monkey at UCSF caught the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
According to the report and UCSF's account, the female monkey that UCSF researchers named Petra arrived at the lab in March 2008. In December, researchers studying Parkinson's disease implanted a device in the monkey's skull so that gene therapy could be delivered directly to her brain.
The device remained in place for seven months and was removed in July 2009. As is common practice, said UCSF, the veterinarian left screws in the monkey's skull.
Soon the monkey became lethargic and picked continually at the spot on her head. The veterinary staff treated her with antibiotics and painkillers. That didn't work, so a month later veterinarians tried to repair the wound surgically. That didn't work either, and in September they removed the screws.
It still didn't help. Her wound still unhealed, the monkey remained in the study. A year later, in October 2010, the veterinarians and principal researcher tried again to figure out the cause of the monkey's persistent wound. This time they found a piece of acrylic that had been left in her head from the 2008 implant.
A federal inspector arrived unannounced days later and snapped a photo of a miserable-looking monkey, a wide, red wound at the top of her head. Researchers euthanized Petra three weeks later, on Nov. 16, 2010.
The inspector returned in January 2011 and reviewed the records.
"Allowing an animal to remain on a study for almost two years while undergoing repeated invasive treatments for chronic complications of the study is not consistent with the intent of this section of the Animal Welfare Act," the inspector wrote. "Keeping an animal on study under these circumstances does not avoid or minimize discomfort, distress, or pain to that animal."
The inspector also cited UCSF for failing to remove foreign material, a violation of the research protocol. Although the university says its study led to a clinical trial now under way, the inspector made it clear that Petra should not have been involved once her distress was evident.
PETA challenge
"There are many thousands of animals suffering every day, and on top of that, you have UCSF failing to provide many of them with adequate veterinary care when they're sick," said Justin Goodman of PETA, which is calling on the National Institutes of Health to require UCSF to return the $2.1 million grant that funded the study in which Petra was involved.
The National Institutes of Health require grant recipients to adhere to the NIH's own lab animal welfare policy, but won't discuss or confirm active cases.
Once concluded, however, all reports become part of the public record.
Overall, UCSF hasn't been cited for the kind of vast systemic violations that happened a decade ago. But many of the violations do echo that period, including failing to adequately observe animals after surgery, giving them too little water or food, and neglecting to keep their enclosures clean.

A Big Thank You to everyone who attended the Bread & Cheese Clean-up this past Saturday (4/10/10). We had a great turn out and removed on heck of a lot of trash and debris from the creek! Giving up part of one's weekend is a big sacrifice, and it is truly appreciated. It is appreciated not only by me, but the residents along the section of Bread and Cheese Creek we cleaned, by Back River where the stream empties, and by the Chesapeake Bay were all these waters eventually flow.
Everyone worked hard, they put their backs in to it and dug out shopping carts, they used their personal vehicles to haul trash to the dumpsters, they pushed wheel barrels full of junk, they waded into the chilly waters and the entire time everyone laughed and smiled. Some people were only able to stay for a few hours, others arrived before 7 AM and left after 4 PM, but everyone was wonderful help, and all help was appreciated.
Anyone can see the huge difference before and after the cleanup. Four thirty yard dumpsters were filled, two with trash, two with metal (mostly shopping carts) and huge stacks of natural debris were all removed from the creek. Some of the more noteworthy debris included three hundred and two bags of trash, twenty-two shopping carts, seventeen tires, six bicycles, four skateboards, two porcelain sinks, a bath tub, an industrial cable spool, a swing set, and a boogie board.
The Future of Bread & Cheese Creek…
What we did on Saturday was fantastic! However, we need to continue this effort. In order to do this, I am looking for individuals who would like to be part of a Clean Bread and Cheese Creek Council. If we have multiple people working on this, it will make planning and running future clean-ups easier and run more smoothly!
The next major clean-up will be next year. This will most likely be Saturday, April 2, 2011 during Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay Project Clean Stream Event and it would target the Area from just before Old North Point following the creek East.
Once again, thank you to everyone! You all did a fantastic job! And to those who weren't able to attend, we hope to see you next time! Comments, questions, feel free to contact me!

"It was a tough battle," Rosenthal said. "It was what we expected. I give credit to our girls. They did a really nice job of battling all of the elements.
"The crowd was loud. The Brooks gym was warm. And the officiating was O.K."
It was the 28th consecutive regular season conference win for the Lady Bisons. It was also the fifth straight win, all by sweeps. The Lady Bisons have swept 10 of their opponents this season.
Last season ETSU was the only A-Sun team to win more than one set against the Lady Bisons in a match. They lost to the Lady Bisons 3-2 in Johnson City and then fell 3-1 at Allen Arena under the double round-robin format.
The Lady Bisons dominated set one, winning 25-17 behind a .458 hitting percentage. Sets two and three weren't quite as smooth. In set two the Lady Bisons trailed by four points early and were down by two points at 17-15 before rallying and holding off ETSU the rest of the way for a 25-21 lead.
In set three the Lady Bisons were ahead 6-3 to open the set, but allowed ETSU to make a comeback. ETSU held a 16-12 lead and appeared to be in control of the set. But the Lady Bisons, down 21-19, would not be denied the sweep as outside hitter Kaycee Green and middle blocker Alex Kelly put together a string of kills for a 25-23 set win. Green ended the set and the match with a kill.
"Kaycee struggled all during the match," Rosenthal said. "She was kind of hesitant through the whole match. We encouraged her to keep swinging. She came up big when we needed her most at the end of the match. I was proud of her."
Kelly led the Lady Bisons with 17 kills. She was the only player on either team to finish in double figures.
"I never ever question if Alex is going to be ready or what she is going to do," Rosenthal said. "We needed her in this match.
"I also thought Char Ursell came up with a couple of key kills and a couple of blocks at the right time. But they don't have her down for any blocks on the stat sheet."
Middle blocker Katie Rose led the Lady Bisons with 10 digs.
"Our defense as a whole came through at the end," Rosenthal said. "I thought it was a good effort overall."
Defensively, Kiley Tamblyn posted a match-high 12 digs for ETSU.
"At the end of the match we were down by three and came back. Dot Dotson served and did a great job of serving tough and getting the job done. It was an anti-climatic finish. I was pretty happy to get the `W' and get out of there.
"We did a nice job serving. If you look at their distribution it is heavily on the outside because we did a nice job of keeping them off the net. We forced them to take some shots they didn't want to take."
The Lady Bisons are 14-5 overall, 3-0 in the conference. ETSU dropped to 15-6, 1-1 in the A-Sun.
The Lady Bisons have little time to rest. The road trip continues Saturday at 2 when the Lady Bisons visit USC Upstate.
"We will be ready," Rosenthal said. "ETSU was a good wake up call for us. We can't take a match off.
"Upstate does a nice job of playing with a lot of energy. They are a little bit unorthodox. They can frustrate you because they are so scrappy."

CHIPLEY � The man whose pursuit resulted in Chipley schools being locked down on Friday was ultimately arrested on charges including trespassing, resisting officers, possession of methamphetamine as well as violation of state probation according to a Chipley Police Department news release.
CHIPLEY � The man whose pursuit resulted in Chipley schools being locked down on Friday was ultimately arrested on charges including trespassing, resisting officers, possession of methamphetamine as well as violation of state probation according to a Chipley Police Department news release.
Dallas Payne, whose address is listed as 619 N. Caryville Road in Bonifay, was arrested on charges of 2 counts trespassing, resist officer without violence, possession of methamphetamine, theft and violation of state probation, according to the news release, issued Monday.
Payne�s manhunt resulted in Chipley High School, Roulhac Middle School and the Washington County Christian School being placed on lockdown Friday while officers searched for him.
The incident began on Friday, Feb. 8, at 11:48 a.m. when officers with the Chipley Police Department were dispatched to a residence on South 8th Street.
The call was relayed to the officers that a man had knocked on the door to a home on 8th street that was occupied by an elderly lady. When the lady opened the door, the man pushed his way into the home, according to police.
The man then asked the woman to use her phone. The lady told the man to get out of her house, which he did. The woman said the man ran through her yard in a westerly direction towards State Road 77.
She was able to provide police with a good description of the man. This was when the Washington County Sheriff�s Department joined in the search.
One of the neighbors on 8th Street advised Chipley officers of where the man �had been hanging out,� according to the release. Chipley Police went to that residence, which was on Court Avenue. The Court Avenue resident identified the suspect as Dallas Payne of Caryville. The Court Avenue resident also told police that Payne was high on meth.
At about 12:24 p.m. on Friday, a man matching Payne�s description was seen leaving the North West Florida Community Hospital. Payne spent a few minutes in the hospital and took a white lab coat from the hospital before leaving, according to police.
Then at 12:30 p.m. Payne was seen cutting across the property of the Washington County Christian School. Payne left the Christian School in a southerly direction placing him on the backside of the Washington Square property. Payne then entered through the rear door of Javier�s Restaurant and left the same way, according to police.
Payne was last seen going into the woods behind Tyndall Federal Credit Union.
Meanwhile, on Facebook, rumors were spreading about robberies occurring at the credit union and and Javier�s Restaurant, as word of the schools being on lockdown also spread.
Sheriff Bobby Haddock said on Friday he had asked Andrea Gainey, his administrative assistant, to get a post on Facebook to quell the rumors.
�I told Andrea to get something on there to quiet it down,� Sheriff Haddock said. The sheriff�s deputies were dispatched to the schools to provide security as well as assist the Chipley Police in the manhunt.
After Payne disappeared into the woods behind the credit union, the deputies and officers were joined in the search by the Northwest Florida Reception Center K-9 Unit.
The K-9 team entered the woods behind Tyndall where they found Payne lying down about 200 yards into the woods. Payne was captured at 1:35 p.m.
After Payne was apprehended, police were able to locate the hospital�s lab coat and Payne�s pants, which he had taken off, according to the release.
These items, along with methamphetamine, were located in close proximity to Payne, according to police.
After talking with all people involved, no one said that Payne ever threatened anyone.
�We wanted to thank the public because they kept the calls coming into us until we got him,� said Police Chief Kevin Crews. �We want to thank the Sheriff�s Department and the K-9 Team from Greenhead, also. They all provided several people to us and were a great assistance to catching this guy.�
