Story highlights
- Young would-be 'Dreamers' can apply for legal stay in U.S. if they meet criteria
- This gives undocumented people brought to U.S. as children a two-year work visa
- Ruben Navarrette: It's a high-stakes gamble because you give out personal information
- Navarrette: People fear if Romney wins or even Obama, the program could be revoked
Imagine what it must be like to be born in one country but only know another, to be labeled "illegal" but feel 100% American, and to be asking for special dispensation from a government that has shown a flair for arresting and deporting people just like you.
"Samuel" doesn't have to imagine this life. He's too busy living it.
The recent high school graduate is one of about 82,000 Dreamers who opted to roll the dice on a new government program that promises temporary relief for young illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, have no criminal record and are pursuing higher education.
They're called Dreamers because they might have qualified for legal status under the Dream Act if the bill hadn't died in the Senate in December 2010 when 36 Republicans and 5 Democrats voted against cloture.
Samuel agreed to talk to me, but only if I agreed not to reveal his name or give out too much personal information about him or his parents.
Ah yes, the parents. If there's an illegal immigrant who was brought here by his parents, there is a good chance that his parents are undocumented as well. And here the government -- the same agency that carries out deportations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- is asking you to hand over your personal information, including your address, where agents might find you and your parents and haul you all away.
Samuel graduated from high school with honors a few months ago, and now he's in a state of suspended animation. He can't enroll in college, because he can't afford the cost of out-of-state tuition. Unlike many of his friends, he doesn't have a job. But it isn't because he doesn't want to work. The problem is that he doesn't have a Social Security number or a driver's license. He's stuck. He can't go forward, and he can't go backward.
Samuel's parents brought him to the United States from Mexico as a child. This is where he was raised, and he can't imagine living anywhere else.
"This is the only country I've known all my life," he told me.
He dreams of getting a driver's license, getting a job, going to college, attending medical school, perhaps one day becoming a doctor. But, all his plans are written in sand. In Samuel's life, nothing is certain.
Nothing, that is, but the two or three page application he filled out to apply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It was, for him, an easy decision. He had waited a long time for a chance like this. And he quickly seized the opportunity. That was probably a smart thing to do. Deferments could be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. He is supposed to receive a response in the mail in the next few weeks.
The Deferred Action program, in the universe of immigration enforcement, falls somewhere between a leap of faith and a crapshoot. If granted temporary relief, applicants can apply for a two-year work visa. There's no direct path to permanent legal status or U.S. citizenship, and the deferment can be revoked at any time. Meanwhile, the federal government -- which previously didn't know you existed, and you liked it that way -- has opened a file, taken your fingerprints and collected all your information.
It's not a very good deal. But, for undocumented youth, it's the only deal on the table. So far, there are few takers. The 82,000 who have submitted applications are just 7% of the estimated 1.2 million people who are eligible for the relief. To qualify, an applicant has to meet certain criteria: be under the age of 31, brought to the United States before the age of 16, have lived continuously in the U.S. since June 15, 2007; no criminal record, in school or graduated high school, or a military veteran.
According to immigration lawyers I've spoken to, who have been fielding calls from Dreamers who have lots of questions, some would-be applicants worry that Mitt Romney could win the election; the Republican will not say whether he would sustain the deferment. All he has said is that we need a permanent solution and that he would replace the program with a better one. In June, Romney told a gathering of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials that he would "put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the president's temporary measure."
What does that mean? No one knows.
But, according to the lawyers, other would-be applicants are just as worried about the possibility of an Obama victory. Which Obama will show up in his second term: the one who proposed the solution, or the one whose excessive deportation policies created the problem?
During a recent forum sponsored by Univision, the Spanish-language television network, Obama said he announced the new policy because, as he met with young people from around the country, he concluded that it wasn't "fair or just for us to have them suffering under a cloud of deportation."
That's a nice sentiment, Mr. President. But guess what. You're the one who created the cloud by deporting a record 1.4 million people in about four years.
That is what happens when a bureaucracy goes overboard. It is a record to be ashamed of. So, if Obama is re-elected, do things get better for the undocumented or worse? No one knows.
Meanwhile, Samuel is aware of the risk. What really drove it home, he said, was when his mother, who is also undocumented, had to take him to the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office to fill out the application. He worried something might happen to her, that someone might question her, that she might give the wrong answer.
What about him? Wasn't he worried about putting himself in jeopardy? Here he is walking into the jaws of the beast, so to speak, right into the office of the very agency that is breaking all deportation records under this president. Wasn't he afraid that he was making a mistake?
"There's always that thought in the back of your mind," he said. "Because you're giving over all this information to these people who have total control over whether you get to stay here or not. It was a little nerve-racking, but we got through it. And now we're just waiting and hoping for the best."
Nerve-racking is right. A lot of good people are putting it all on the line. This is a high-stakes game. It had better not be rigged.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will reallocate $60 million from an urban development project loan to Rajasthan, India, for improving water supply in Jaipur, a tourism hub, according to an Indo-Asian News Service report.
ADB released a statement explaining that the reallocation will help construct a new $220-million water supply system for Jaipur, from the existing Bisalpur dam and reservoir, located 120 km away.
The $362-million Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project, which also includes a $250-million ADB loan component, was approved in December 1998 and is currently 60 percent complete, according to the report.
The target of the project is to improve the urban infrastructure of the state's six major cities.
According to ADB's statement, "The ADB loan has covenants requiring Rajasthan to rationalize water tariffs and improve revenues in each of the six project cities to ensure sustainability."
Jaipur's water supply system is almost fully dependent on groundwater sources, which are shrinking and losing quality due to over extraction and droughts. A detailed study financed by France had indicated that at the current extraction rate, the aquifers in Jaipur would be severely depleted before 2010, the Indo-Asian News Service reported.
ADB said that the state has consequently decided to construct the long planned Bisalpur water supply system and sought the ADB's assistance to reallocate loan savings.
"The $120-million phase-one works include a new intake, water treatment plant, pump station, 100-km pipeline and storage reservoir aimed at providing Jaipur with a secure water source through 2021 and beyond," said Alex Jorgensen, head, Urban Development, at the ADB's India Resident Mission.
The phase two costing $104 million that is supported by a $85-million loan from the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) will help the state rehabilitate and expand the water distribution system in Jaipur, , according to the report.
As part of negotiations to add the Bisalpur system under the project, the government has provided the ADB and the JBIC with an updated water tariff plan to be implemented over the next couple of years.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will reallocate $60 million from an urban development project loan to Rajasthan, India, for improving water supply in Jaipur, a tourism hub, according to an Indo-Asian News Service report.

I'm thrilled to participate this month in the Preschool Blogger Network's "Father's Day Book and Activity" Blog Hop!
I am always stumped for good ideas for gifts kids can make for Father's Day. I came up with this simple pencil can that is so easy for kids to make and can be decorated for any theme or interest.
First, wash a empty can from the recycling bin. Soup and vegetable cans are the perfect size for this. If you are worried about the top edge, simply place a strip of duct tape over the lip to cover the edges. Glue craft sticks to the can until the surface is completely covered. (Be careful to make sure the sticks are aligned with the bottom of the can or it won't sit level.)
After letting glue dry, paint and decorate to suit Dad's interests. My husband has an affinity for sailing, so we made our can with a little sailing scene with a banner plane that pulls a banner that says "Dad". We used foam stickers for embellishments.
Another thing I like about this project is that it is easily adapted for any person or occasion. If a student does not have a father, or a father figure, it can be decorated for Mom or Grandma. I take note of those situations at the beginning of the year and ask the family how they want to handle it. Often, there is a grandfather, uncle or other father figure in the picture. If this is the case, you may want to read a book about non-typical families. I've heard really good things about the book "Love is a Family" by Roma Downey from Touched By An Angel.
There are tons of good children's books out there about Dads. My favorite is "Kevin and His Dad" by Irene Smalls. Dad and Kevin spend the day together doing chores and enjoying their time together. I love that the focus is on finding the joy together in simple, everyday activities!
Be sure to stop by these wonderful blogs and check out the books and ideas they are sharing today!

Glad you are here!

The only way to change the world is to change yourself. Revolution is not an external thing, it's personal. You can't change someone else's mind or control their actions. You can only make yourself a better person. Imagine this: if everyone became the absolute best individual that they could be, what kind of world would that create? If words like love, respect, honesty, caring, and empathy were not merely words but actions as unconscious as breathing? What heights we could reach! What fantastical things we could accomplish! Human society working together for the common good, for the benefit of all life. It is possible. The revolution is this: the conscious evolution of our fundamental way of thinking. Change your mind, change the world!

Nature itself is the beautiful expression of order and balance arising out of chaos. Time and time again, nature has demonstrated its ability to naturally grow this order and peace out of the random noise that makes its very basis. The myth of true order comes from human attempts to impose it where it does not naturally occur. While there may be order, its cause is incorrectly perceived.
By definition, imposed order is unstable. It must be forcibly maintained in order to continue to exist. People are as a whole intelligent enough to devise such structures but not intelligent enough to override our most fundamental sense of natural order. As a whole, our species' attempt to engineer its own order has been slowly successful. We created kingdoms, handing ourselves to a monarch. This is an extreme deviation from natural order, because there are in that case only a handful of people globally who matter. It leaves the commoner entirely outside the global order. Out of our natural human desire to move towards natural order, we devised a new structure of governments commonly known as republics. These were closer to something which we could naturally live at ease with. The commoner, despite not having a direct say in the larger global order was in some way involved, or at least believed this to be so. More recently, through the rapid development of communications technologies which allow any one commoner's voice to find itself suddenly amplified and repeated around the world in moments we have grown into an entirely new method of global order. As trivial as much of the social networking conversation is, through social networking borders have fallen, lines have blurred, and a kind of collective consciousness representing its participants equally has arisen from it. However, we find ourselves in a unique situation. The people have moved on from the easily corruptible pseudo-free societies of the past, yet the forces enforcing those societies have attempted to simply ignore this transition. Through force, violence, and illegitimate law which passed without the consent of the commoner, they have attempted to extinguish the phoenix, the collective society which has arisen from the ashes of the republics.
Government by definition creates order, whether natural or imposed. A government exists within the borders of some defined region, and exists to represent the people of that region. Therefore, by definition the only possible government is that which exists by the consent of those who represent the people. A government which is operating without that consent is no longer a valid government. It is a criminal enterprise which exists to serve only itself. It in this case has moved from an entity which serves and fears the people to an entity which is served by and is feared by the people. For the people to accept such a criminal takeover of their land is a violation of their core drives, it is a violation of the natural progression from imposed global order towards natural order on a global scale. In the case where a criminal takeover has occurred, it is not only the natural right, but the obligation of that region's people to raise themselves in great numbers against that criminal enterprise which seeks to exploit them. Fundamental human dignity demands it unambiguously. It is unfortunate, but an unavoidable conclusion that yesterday's republics have on a grand scale violated their purpose and made the transition from representatives of the people towards criminal slave enterprise which holds the people in bondage, extracting value and joy from them, forever unhappy with their current holdings. The organs and systems which we the people devised not long ago to serve and represent us have been hijacked by a select few individuals, making the commoner irrelevant despite numerous legal guarantees and protections against this. The methods used in these criminal takeovers vary and are too numerous to list in the context of this document, but they are well documented by many members of the newly arisen collective consciousness.
There are many and varied voices which have erupted from captivity which suggest methods by which we the people can reclaim our rightful place as our own rulers and each other's subject at once. In order to reclaim our human dignity and make progress towards natural order, a collective state where the people live in harmony with one another in naturally organized chaos, it is useful to examine the birth of the republics which today have become something grotesque and unrecognizable. Attempt after attempt was made to force monarchs to dictate the will of their subjects, but these attempts were made in ignorance of the fact that the very nature and structure of the kingdoms was not compatible with what the people desired. Facing a global order which could not advance any farther and had reached the end of its useful lifespan, individuals began to realize the increasingly undeniable fact that an entirely new order had to be devised to replace the old kingdoms. We have reached a similar point today. Society's process of collective consciousness and consensus has advanced beyond the point that the republics can follow. In response to this, a select few have hijacked the republics in order to bring them backwards while the people march forwards. As difficult as it is to accept, the time has indeed come to tearfully say goodbye to the republics. They are artifacts of a beautiful age, yet in their age have become irrelevant to the progress of society, and in fact have become a snarling, grotesque weight which fights progress at every turn.
The form of the global order's replacement is not mine to decide. It is not yours, it is not your neighbor's. The global order's form is for the globe to decide collectively. For this reason, my identity will not be disclosed. I will present no idea for the future's form other than the fact that society has advanced beyond the point where the republics can exist in their current form. Go forth, and reclaim your dignity. If you fear the republics, imagine this. You are no longer represented in the republics. Therefore, their laws, their edicts, their decrees have no legitimate authority over you. They are just as illegitimate as if I attempted to dictate the terms of your life from behind my keyboard. They have become little more than bullies with guns, and if there is anything the Arab Spring has taught us, it is that guns are utterly useless against an idea.

The Marketing and Communications Office follows the CCSF assessment process as documented on the Outcomes Assessment Reporting website. Additional unit-specific processes described below.
We provide current information, publicity, and marketing to benefit the entire college district and community.
Administrative Unit Outcomes
These Administrative Unit Outcomes (AUOs) are on a regular cycle of review, during which outcomes are updated and revised.
- Media, faculty, staff, and students will have access to reliable and accurate information about what's going on at the college.
- Potential CCSF students will get the information they need to learn about the service and instructional opportunities available at CCSF and be able to register effectively.
- Potential and current students attempting registration will have the information they need to direct their educational success.
- The entire CCSF community, including the surrounding community, will learn about ongoing events and activities in which they can participate.
Assessment Process
General process currently followed:
- A sampling of methods for gathering data on our outcomes
include such things as:
- Interviews with external media representatives (sample questions: Do they feel they have sufficient access to the CCSF spokesperson? Are they getting the information in a timely manner? Are they getting information in the method they prefer? What improvements can be made?)
- Interviews with constituency group leaders and key personnel in select areas of the college that are most impacted by ongoing efforts (such as Academic Senate Executive Council leaders, the Directors of Admissions & Records).
- Focus groups
- Employee surveys
- Website hits (Google Analytics)
- Future consideration: inclusion of "how did you hear about us?" in registration process
- Gathered data are reviewed by Director and staff, analyzed,
summarized, and studied for areas of improvement with the help of
the Institutional Development units and where appropriate faculty,
staff, and students. Results shared through Program Review, as well
as with external groups such as advertisers who help us reach our
target audiences.
- Improvements are implemented in as timely and effective a manner as possible. These improvements are then re-evaluated in the next assessment cycle to ensure they are working and we are continuing to meet our goals.

Specificaly this form:
The Western notion of justice is a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity or fairness.
There is no way to equally judge another human being or bring back what the violation has caused equally. The attempt will lead to mistakes and cruelty. More insidious is the notion someone can bring justice. I bring this up because the smart men and women I know (asked 40) all agreed this is why they still believe in the religion they believe in. Some cited fear of death as number 2 but all said they believe there has to be justice from higher power ultimatey. And that this is the only solace they have in this world. They believe someone who took so much life, like a Dahmer, would have to be judged by something eternal. I said someone in war may take 100's of lives but this is judged justice because they did it under orders or for a "just" cause.
Justice does seem to be hard wired instinctual.Most social mammals show different degrees of abhorrents to inequality.Especially primates.
But essentially isn't the pursuit of real justice not possible? Calling it necessary means this will make those who deem the power to wield it, to better humanity, unjust from the beginning? Isn't justice another way of claiming superiority? Doesn't a despot in the world use it to claim there power? If we agree justice is not a noble pursuit and clearly impossible (like following the word of god), what laws or punishments should be changed or updated? How would you feel if a mass murder or child molester was treated with a kind hand, rather than the visceral feeling of gutting them like a pig and dancing in the entrails as they slowing die. I am the first to admit this sounds more like justice at a primal level. But should we be smarter than that?
Views: 1008
Quite honestly some may ask to be altered. Again that maybe a step in actual recovery. Recognising the bottom as hatred for yourself is not the actual lowest point. request for your own death, or alterations of this type would be one more step down. And that is what is takes to get down past the mental illness barriers to eradicate teh disease like chemo really. Its harder to go through this then to rot in jail really it is. Even harder then execution because you can always blame the system for your own death. when nothing is left but to blame yourself the torture that will set in is profound. the fervor to make ammends coould be even greater.
However this all goes to shit when you can just say I'm sorry to fucking jesus and go to heaven!!!
How much effort should we make sympathizing with a serial rapist?
@Unseen none it's for all for humanity sake not FOR the rapist. Sympathy is not at all what I propose.
Shouldn't we be concentrating on satisfying the rapist's victim(s)? Isn't that what humanity wants? Doesn't humanity want people to get what they deserve as much as possible?
@Unseen That is the problem with so called "Justice" it isn't an either or statement. why with billions of people on the planet should this be an either or statement. What if the BEST thing to do is not the easiest to contemplate seems really normal to me when we don't use scietific methods to attack moral issues. If the rapist who quite usually is a victim of horrible atrocities in there own lives becomes able to dehumanize another person to the point that it's ok to do what they did and fetishize it as an appropriate action is not getting off scott free by confronting what they did unbtil they are aware of the actual action. Spending time figure out and possibly helping the rapist will lead to an understanding of how to attack that mental illness in the public and how to help the innocent victim as well. if specific environments caused the the proclivity to become rampant creating the diseased mind, then even the identified victim will get better treatment options for their recovery.
Understanding the crime is extremely important to the person who was affected on both sides. we are missing the opportunity to actually help recovery for the ultimately innocent victim by ignoring the mentally ill victim.
I don't think this is close call actually. If we look scientifically at any moral issues a right and wrong answer becomes clear. the rapist is not longer in the general population and treatment will probably take longer than incarceration, but if they really recover or not, it is still better to attempt than letting the rapist just stew in jail until their time is up and out they come with nothing to stop their behavior. and we learned even less from the incident to help the rest of humanity.
your comment is why I brought this up, justice is not possible because we aren't trying to do what's necessary to stop it or even understand it.
the rapist who quite usually a victim of horrible atrocities in there lives
There you go again Mat with one of your patented "statistics" pulled out of thin air. Or, do you have a real statistic to back that up?
@unseen Sure why not.
Up to 80% were abused as children. i picked the first source I found there are many others. source
And that should be an expected step in recovery. after that you can lift them back to service as a way to pay back for their actions.
its the only real reparation possible because a death for a death leaves no positives left.
There are brain scans that show area's of the brain that are damaged from child abuse and neglect. But it only projects proclivity to incarceration. No one walks away scott free. You are thinking that some payment has to be made but what if the harder work of research and dialogue, depending on the crime, forced on the "wrongdoer".
As someone else said there are those that cannot be redeemed but they should be the extremes we need to study to know the medium. But do you see how even the mention of doing this and why makes you feel like defending the way we do it now? How is it we have more people in jail then almost any other major country? because we have too many unfair laws incarcerating millions of youth and mostly minorities into environments that teach recidivation. Mostly because the public cannot allow for this dialogue to even occur. Yes it needs to be looked at from the minor crime to the major in order to get the real big picture and to make it fair. Otherwise the pursuit of justice is just killing people and families that would otherwise be replenishing our society with new idea's and even more amazing breakthroughs.
Even if they could find the spot in the brain and cut it out so it doesn't happen again it is not ok to give them the procedure without the crime because I know I certainly try to overcome my short failings.
Does this mean if they are better it excuses their crime my thought does the victim decide the penalty when the criminal may be a victim themselves? And what part of fair is an eye for an eye? But I know in the middle of the depression over a loss or violation that's all I wanted, It doesn't pay the life left living to hate anyone for that long. The only real repayment for a life taken is a life saved.
I'm also suggesting that what people "deserve" is more support in their formative years, and it would help to keep positive, social connections going, especially for those who have difficulty with it. (It ain't easy.)
"The need for justice is a dangerous pursuit" is not a bad title, either. I hope this discussion can go deeper. I really do think that most people don't have a clue about its bigger picture.
How do people come to deserve things? Through their deeds.

is a "caucus"?
premise of a caucus is primarily to provide an opportunity for scholars to
innovate, share and discuss emergent ideas that are still in the incubatory
stage. Caucuses are designed to provide a convenient, informal way for AOM
members with shared interests to find one another and to develop a sense of
community within the larger AOM structure as well as to explore potential
collaborations in a forum open to all interested AOM members.
does a caucus differ from a Professional Development Workshop (PDW)?
offer a wide variety of session formats and learning experiences led by experts
in the topic being presented with intended takeaways for the participants. PDWs
take place Friday and Saturday and must be a minimum of 2 hours in
length. Caucuses' deliberations are more of an informal exchange with
facilitators rather than a designated presenter(s). Caucuses are scheduled on
Mondays and Tuesdays together with the refereed scholarly program. They are
scheduled in a 90 minute scholarly time block in a room that is configured
in banquet rounds.
does a caucus differ from a symposium?
caucus session differs from a symposium in a few ways. First, there is no
requirement for authored papers for a caucus as is typically the case with a
presenter symposium. The submissions for a caucus should detail the ideas for
discussion and the format planned by the organizers and is typically no more
than two pages in length. Second, while a panel symposium consists of a group
of panelists in a formal interactive discussion, a caucus is more informal
where AOM members with shared interests can discuss common issues and explore
potential research collaborations. It is essentially designed to provide
conference participants with opportunities to network with colleagues who share
similar interests and develop new ideas, emerging topics, and expansion of the
conference theme. The organizers typically serve as discussion leaders but do
not make a formal presentation. Finally, a symposium requires sponsorship by
the All-Academy Theme committee, a division, or interest group. A caucus
requires documented interest from 5 AOM members with affiliations and contact
Caucus Session Information
Room set up: The meeting rooms are set up with a maximum of three
round tables that seat 10 people each. Additional chairs are set up on the
perimeter of the room, if possible.
Equipment set up: Standard audio/visual will be provided.

(Esophageal Achalasia)
by Rick Alan
Achalasia is a relatively rare disorder of the smooth muscle of the esophagus. The esophagus is a muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. Achalasia makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass into the stomach from the esophagus.
There is a muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This is where the esophagus meets the stomach. When not swallowing, the LES remains closed to keep food, liquid, and stomach acid from moving back into the esophageal tube. When swallowing, nerve signals tell muscles to contract to push food down the esophagus (an action called peristalsis). This allows the LES to open.
In people with achalasia, the nerve cells in the lower esophageal tube and the LES do not work correctly. This results in:
While achalasia is associated with the loss of nerve cells in the esophagus, the cause of this process is unknown.
Risk Factors
There are no known risk factors for achalasia.
Symptoms of achalasia can occur between the ages of 25 and 60. Symptoms rarely develop in children. Symptoms tend to be mild at first, and then grow worse over months or years. The main symptom is difficulty swallowing solids and, as the disorder progresses, liquids. Nearly all people with achalasia have difficulty swallowing both solids and liquids.
Other symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
The goal of treatment is to make it easier for the LES to open. Treatment may include:
Pneumatic Dilation
This treatment stretches the LES muscle. A thin tube is inserted into the throat. At the end of this tube is an uninflated balloon. When the tube reaches the LES muscle, the balloon is inflated. Pneumatic dilation has a high success rate. It is the primary treatment in most people, although the procedure may need to be repeated.
Small incisions are made in the LES to help it relax. This is called Heller myotomy surgery. This can usually be performed via laparoscopy, making it a relatively minor surgical procedure. Because the LES is partially cut, about some people experience gastroesophageal reflux symptoms after this surgery.
Botulinum Toxin
Tiny amounts of botulinum toxin type A are injected into the LES. Botulinum causes the LES to relax, which makes it easier to open. Since the effect is temporary, repeat injections are almost always needed. The response decreases with successive injections.
Certain medications may help those that cannot tolerate surgery and do not have success with botulinum therapy. The symptom relief is temporary.
There are no current guidelines to prevent achalasia because the cause is not known.

Five Players to Watch This Spring
What's up Yankee fans?
The date is February 15, 2010.
As for news around the sports world, the NFL Super Bowl is over. The great Peyton Manning fell to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in what was (in my opinion) the best Super Bowl game since the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
The winter Olympics are in full swing in Vancouver and at press time the U.S.A. has claimed six medals.
The NBA is at their All-Star point and Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks became the only player in history to win the Slam Dunk Contest three times.
And last but never-the-least, MLB pitchers and catchers report to camp this week. We now know that baseball is almost back. Almost back, but we're not quite there yet.
The Yankees obviously made a number of moves in the off season, bidding farewell to players like Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Melky Cabrera, and Chien-Ming Wang.
But they welcomed in new (and old) players like Curtis Granderson, Randy Winn, Javier Vazquez, and Nick Johnson.
Some of these moves haven't been very popular among Yankee fans, but it remains to be seen how these players will perform. The best time to find out how well each player might do in the season is obviously in spring training.
With that being said, here are my five players to keep an eye on in March:
5) Javier Vazquez
At first, I was completely against the Javier Vazquez deal and part of me still is. I never liked him during his first stint with the Yankees in 2004. The only lasting image I have of him was that meatball he served up that Johnny Damon clobbered for a grand slam in the 2004 ALCS–a bomb that solidified the Yankees' Game Seven collapse.
But I suppose I'll give him a second chance as the number four starter in 2010.
Everyone keeps talking about how Vazquez had a very low ERA these past few seasons, so who knows. He may surprise us. After all, I thought Hideki Matsui was going to have a horrible season in 2009. He went on to win the World Series MVP.
I have decided to give Vazquez until July 15–if he has decent numbers then, I'll approve of the trade. But if he is basically hanging on by a thread with an inflated ERA and a record of .500, then I'll stand by my initial thought: what are the Yankees thinking?!
I realize the Vazquez trade was a panic move to counter the Red Sox signing John Lackey. But the Yanks could have figured out another way to get a pitcher without having to give up a promising outfielder (Cabrera) for a one-year rental (Vazquez).
We'll see how he does. But without question, he'll be under the microscope in Tampa.
4) Jesus Montero
I have heard a lot of great things about this kid. I get the feeling he'll one day be a star, but he's just too young right now. Nonetheless, non-roster invitee Jesus Montero will be a player to watch this spring.
At 20 years old, Montero has been named the Yanks' best prospect and the fifth best player by Baseball America. In his 2008 minor league season with the Charleston River Dogs, Montero batted .326 with 17 homers and 87 RBIs. He only stole two bases, but hey…he's a catcher, we cannot expect a ton of steals from him.
The highest level he's played at is AA Trenton Thunder, but mark my words; he'll probably make it to the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in 2010.
With Jose Molina leaving the Yankees, it'll most likely be Francisco Cervelli backing up Jorge Posada. So in all likelihood, we won't see Montero in the show this year. In 2011, he'll more than likely be on the Major League squad.
But Montero will undoubtedly be on the field this spring. This is his chance to show Yankee Universe what he's made of and for us to get a feel for what he is about.
3) Brett Gardner
Brett Gardner has given the Yankees something they haven't had in recent times–speed. And I'm not talking about just a decent pair of wheels. I'm talking the Flash/Sonic the Hedgehog type horse power here.
I mean, if he sprinted on the highway, he'd probably get a speeding ticket.
Gardner has also offered a great deal of defense in the outfield. With the departure of Melky Cabrera, the Yankees are obviously putting a lot of stock in him. Gardner can run and he can play some unbelievable defense. But he needs to get on base and become a better offensive player.
In 2009, Gardner had 67 hits in 248 at-bats, which translates to a .270 average–not too shabby. He drew 26 walks and stole 26 bases, which again, are decent stats.
But centerfield is a position that requires power; you need to have some pop coming from that spot on the field. Gardner only hit three home runs last year, two of which left the park (and yes, it was pretty sweet watching that inside-the-park home run on May 15…it was even sweeter because I saw it in-person!)
This spring, the Yankees will be trying out a number of different outfielders. There's even talk that if Gardner is good enough, recent acquisition Curtis Granderson might play left field and Gardner will man center.
Well, that scenario remains to be seen, but in any event, Gardner has to take his game up to the next level. We'll see how he responds next month.
2) Robinson Cano
Boy has this young man come a long way. I can remember the day he was called up to the big leagues in 2005 and how nervous he looked. He would make frequent errors and he looked so uneasy at the plate.
But Robinson Cano worked his game up to a Major League level, finishing in the top three in the 2006 batting title race. He was even compared to the incomparable Rod Carew. And from there, the rest is basically history. In my opinion, he's unlike any other second baseman in the American League–and that's a good thing.
He plays defense so well, gliding across the infield and making spectacular plays. I still believe he should have won a Gold Glove Award this past year. His hitting has certainly improved, as well. In 2009 he set a career-high in home runs with 25 and averaged .320 at the dish.
I have to say, of the younger players who are currently on the Yankees, Cano is my favorite. You can mention Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and all the legendary players of the so-called "core four," but (for me) Cano has been the most exciting Yankee these past couple of seasons.
But some philosophize that Cano only performed so well for so long because of the presence of his best friend Melky Cabrera. The two became bosom buddies in 2007 and since then, both have played very well in each other's friendship.
But Cabrera is now an Atlanta Brave and Cano is on his own.
I am anxious to see how Cano is going to perform in the absence of his best friend. I still feel he can play the same way he has these last few years. However, the only minor concern I have is how Cano played in 2008 without Cabrera; when his buddy was sent down to the minors because of a nasty slump, Cano struggled a little bit and fell into a funk of his own.
Hopefully nothing like that will happen to him this upcoming year. But if Cano gets off to a slow start and cannot find his rhythm, I might have to side with those philosophers.
1) Joba Chamberlain
It's no secret that Joba Chamberlain had a rough 2009. It started back when he was arrested for a DUI after the 2008 campaign. Then he was put back on the "Joba Rules," only being allowed to toss a certain amount of innings according to the Yankees' discretion.
He had some forgetful starts and some brilliant starts in '09, posting a record of 9-6 with a 4.75 ERA. If that wasn't enough, the 24 year-old flamethrower was sent to the bullpen for the playoffs and World Series as the Bronx Bombers chose to go with a three-man rotation. In relief, he posted an ERA of 2.84 and was 1-0 with one save and seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings pitched.
Not too bad, if you ask me. Chamberlain seems to excel when he knows his role.
There's a lot of speculation on which pitcher will land the fifth spot in the starting rotation. Chamberlain seems to be the logical choice, unless they either opt to pull Phil Hughes from his spot in the bullpen or allow Sergio Mitre or Chad Gaudin the opportunity.
It all depends on who is performing at the highest level in spring training. If we see Chamberlain in a dominant form next month, it could be him. But if he is going to be that fifth pitcher, the Yankees NEED to take him off the "Joba Rules."
Chamberlain will have his growing pains, all young players do. But if they do not take the leash off, the only thing he'll ever be is a caged animal.
I understand that the Yankees are not trying to wreck his arm because it's happened to too many young pitchers (Francisco Liriano, Edinson Volquez…etc.) But the Yanks should not tell him exactly how many innings they want him to throw. I think that can upset the balance of his psyche.
So who will be that fifth starter? We'll know when we see what they all bring to Tampa.

– WWE Legend Paul Bearer recently spoke with Chris Yandek of CYInterview.com and says he knows he will be going into the WWE Hall of Fame one day, whether it be next year or 5 years from now. Here are some highlights from the interview:
His WWE status:
"People that don't know, that don't see me, I am still involved. I'm still under contract with WWE. I'm under a legends contract with WWE and I do things now and then with them like WrestleMania and go do signings, this, that and the other. Plus I work the independent organizations all around the country. I go out to L.A. once a month and do Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. We tape four weeks of TV once a month out there and some months I'm busy every weekend doing wrestling stuff."
Helping Ricardo Rodriguez:
"I think a hell of a lot of Ricardo Rodriguez who manages Alberto Del Rio. He has become a very good friend of mine and I give him tips all the time and not that he needs them. And when I see things that I like, I let him know that I liked it and he's very respectful and very, knows the history of our business and he deserves to be where he's at and other than Ricardo Rodriguez, there really isn't any managers, you know WWE doesn't have any managers. … Bobby Heenan and Lou Albano and I could just go on and on and on, you know all the old school managers, there are none."
Mick Foley's WWE Hall of Fame induction:
"I love him dearly. I had so much fun managing him when he was Mankind 'cause we was going against The Undertaker. … We just had so much fun because he wore that mask, you know that covered half of his long hair and that mask and all that and we were just like kids out there all the time and I was the only one that could ever make The Undertaker laugh and he could be laughing and nobody ever knew it and the same with Mick Foley."

- Dean Baker: Budget deficit is not the only top issue in our national economic policy
- Baker: Fiscal cliff debate has been a distraction of the bigger problem of a downturn
- He says fears of big deficits are preventing us from boosting the economy more
- Baker: Given the economy's weakness, the government has to run big deficits
Editor's note: Dean Baker, an economist, is co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a progressive economic policy organization. He is author of "The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive."
(CNN) -- We have just passed into the new year, and the distractions created by the debate over the fiscal cliff appear to be behind us. Maybe.
That debate has been part of a larger distraction -- the concern over budget deficits at a time when by far the country's most important problem remains the economic downturn caused by the collapse of the housing bubble. The obsession with budget deficits is especially absurd because the enormous deficits of recent years are entirely the result of the economic downturn.
In spite of this, the leadership of both parties has elevated the budget deficit to be the top and virtually only issue in national economic policy. This means ignoring the downturn that continues to cause enormous amount of unnecessary suffering for tens of millions of people.
Dean Baker
But fears of big deficits are preventing us from giving the same sort of boost to the economy that got us out of the Great Depression. The explanation is simple: profits have returned to prerecession levels.
Opinion: Cliff deal hollow victory for American people
This means that from the standpoint of the people who own and run American businesses, everything is pretty much fine. Moreover, they see the deficits created by the downturn as providing an opportunity to go after Social Security and Medicare.
The Campaign to Fix the Debt, a nonpartisan organization involving many of the country's richest and most powerful CEOs, sets out to do just that. It has become standard practice in Washington for Wall Street types and other wealthy interests to finance groups to push their agenda.
The Campaign to Fix the Debt involves the CEOs themselves directly stepping up to the plate and pushing the case for cutting Social Security and Medicare as well as lowering the corporate income tax rate.
It's clear what's going on here. We don't need any conspiracy theories.
iReport: What's your message for Washington?
CEOs from both political parties have openly come together to demand cuts in Social Security and Medicare, two programs that enjoy massive political support across the political spectrum. The wealthy are joining hands without regard to political affiliation to cut benefits that enjoy broad bipartisan support among everyone who is not rich.
President Barack Obama has an opportunity to show real leadership. He should explain to the public the basic facts that all budget experts know: We do not have a chronic deficit problem. The big deficits are the result of collapsed economy. The priority of the president and Congress must be to put people back to work and bring the economy back up to speed.
Fiscal cliff deal: 5 things to know
When the housing bubble burst, annual spending on residential construction fell back by more than 4% of GDP, which is $600 billion in today's economy. Similarly, consumption plunged as people drastically curtailed their spending in response to the loss of $8 trillion in housing bubble generated equity.
There is no easy way for the private sector to replace this demand. Businesses don't invest unless they see demand for their products, regardless of how much love we might shower on the "job creators." In fact, if anything, investment is surprisingly strong give the large amount of excess capacity in the economy. Measured as a share of GDP, investment in equipment and software is almost back to its prerecession level. It is hard to envision investment getting much higher, absent a major boost in demand from some other sector.
This is why it is necessary for the government to run large deficits. Ideally, the money would be spent in areas that will make us richer in the future: Education, infrastructure, research and development in clean energy, etc. There is just no way around a large role for the government given the economy's current weakness.
Big issues still pending
Obama needs to explain this simple story to the country. The rich of both parties will hate him for going down this route. They will use their powers to denounce him. But the American people support Social Security and Medicare, and they support an economy that creates jobs for ordinary workers.
Obama needs the courage to tell the truth.

In response to Lindsay Noisoms letter in which she criticizes Mercy Regional Medical Centers policy of influenza vaccination for its employees (Herald, Nov. 13):
Health-care workers are required by the Colorado Board of Health to be vaccinated against influenza. During flu season, health-care workers may come in contact with hundreds of patients, many of whom are vulnerable to infection because of weakened immune systems. In addition to being a state requirement, it is also our moral and ethical responsibility as health-care workers to protect patients, co-workers and the community from preventable infections such as influenza.
In addition to immunization, we take many other steps to ensure the safety of our patients and co-workers. We provide masks and hand sanitizer at every public entrance and ask visitors with a cough or fever (signs of infection) to wear a mask while in the hospital. We encourage all employees and visitors to wash their hands frequently, and we provide hand sanitizer throughout the facility.
Regarding claims about mercury in the flu vaccine, the vaccine available to Mercy associates comes in individually packaged doses that are mercury-free. Claims that influenza vaccine causes Alzheimers disease are unsupported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence, and the national Alzheimers Association cites this concern as a myth.
Noisoms opinions about flu vaccination are contrary to the positions held by many medical and health organizations that not only believe in the efficacy of influenza vaccination, but also support universal or mandatory vaccination for health-care workers:
American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, American Public Health Association, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Colorado Hospital Association, Department of Health and Human Services National Vaccine Advisory Committee, Infectious Diseases Society of America, The Joint Commission, National Foundation for Infectious Diseases and National Patient Safety Foundation.
