-- John Barrymore
We should probably stop speculating about the future after botching Junior Griffey's engagement in Cincinnati so badly, but we can't. We really need the future right now.
The present is worthless, after all. The worst that can be said about the future is that it might also be worthless. But it might not.
So we got it wrong about Griffey and the Reds. Guess we'll have to keep trying. Not trying is quitting, which means you're done -- and nothing is sadder than done.
Like the life of a person, the life of a baseball club is ups and downs, surprising luck and jilted expectations.
The Reds, their fans and Griffey thought long ago they would reach new heights together. Instead they fell to new lows together, so it didn't end like we thought it would.
On Feb. 10, 2000, 41 days into a new century, Reds General Manager Jim Bowden sealed the master trade that would make his mark and rehabilitate his standing with Reds fans who cursed him for firing Tony Perez by telephone seven years earlier. Bowden brought back Griffey, the best player of the 1990s, a Cincinnati native and a contender for historic achievement.
Battered by the Perez firing, Pete Rose's suspension, the Marge Schott saga and a 1994 players strike, Reds fans suddenly came back to life, and it felt good to be back. Many expected at least a couple pennants during the life of Griffey's nine-year contract, which he signed at a hometown discount after he and Bowden maneuvered his trade from the Seattle Mariners.
A calendar or two might have noted July 31, 2008, or thereabouts, as the day on which Griffey would surpass Henry Aaron to become baseball's all-time home run leader.
But the early morning hours of July 31, 2008, arrived with Griffey still 147 homers short of Aaron and 154 behind Barry Bonds, as the last-place Reds flew into Washington to face Bowden's last-place Washington Nationals.
The whole affair went badly for everyone.
At 5 a.m., two Hall of Famers -- Griffey and Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman -- shared an elevator ride as the Reds checked into their Washington hotel. That's when Griffey told Brennaman he'd been traded and, without saying as much, that a dream long ago ruined finally was done.
The Chicago White Sox needed an alternative to the wilted bat of Paul Konerko, whom the Reds traded many years ago for Mike Cameron, whom the Reds later traded for Griffey. White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams has long admired Griffey, and the Reds could no longer even pretend they had use for him.
Unlike the Reds nine years ago, the White Sox won't expect Hall of Fame production. Counting on a mid-lineup punisher and spectacular outfielder, the Reds wound up with a prince reaching middle age. The White Sox anticipate no more than an elder statesman, mistake hitter and serviceable outfielder if he can stay in the lineup.
The White Sox can win with someone else's old prince because they have a young prince of their own in Carlos Quentin and they also have pitching.
The Reds have a young prince or five, but they're too young, adolescents by major league reckoning, and they're not ready to contend. They're not even ready to pretend. If they were, then they'd still be pretending. But that ended in the days before the July 31 trade deadline.
A week before the deadline, the Reds were 50-53 with their next nine games to come against Colorado, Houston and Washington, three sketchy opponents. Houston and Washington reeked of last place, while Colorado sat 13 games below .500 in a weak NL West. (See "Schedule Favors Reds Climbing Back into Contention," issue of July 23.)
The Reds were 9 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the wild card race, but they didn't have to pass a lot of clubs (just St. Louis, Florida, Philadelphia and Milwaukee) and the schedule lined up for the Reds to play clubs they should be able to beat for most of the next month.
The run of pitchers to face the Reds in the next five days included a struggling Jorge de la Rosa, journeyman Brian Mohler and a recovering Roy Oswalt just off the disabled list. If the Reds could beat those guys, then steal one against Aaron Cook or a wild Ubaldo Jimenez, they would have won four of the five, improved to 54-54 and climbed to within 6 1/2 games of Milwaukee in the wild card race with their next 14 games coming against Houston, Washington, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
Opportunity dared the Reds, despite everything, to push themselves comfortably past .500 and crash the pennant race in the next three weeks. It's safe to say that if the Reds had won three or four out of five, starting with that July 25-27 home series against Colorado, Griffey would still wear a Reds uniform and the Reds might turn a head or two.
But the Reds didn't win four out of five. They didn't even win one out of five. They lost all five, and with that they lost hope. They lost all three on a home weekend against Colorado by a combined score of 23-3. Then the Reds dropped the first two in Houston, which dragged them back toward the NL Central basement.
Right about then, Williams approached Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty about Griffey, and one could almost see the words "Hell with it" flash through Jocketty's mind after watching his club tank its chance to contend.
The players apparently didn't welcome prosperity, so Jocketty just went ahead and took what he could get for Griffey -- which wasn't much -- and the Reds now are playing for next year. It suddenly came clear that this year is worthless and the worst that can be said about next year is that it might also be worthless.
It should be noted that one player who didn't tank that week was none other than Junior Griffey. Unwittingly playing his last game for the Reds on July 30, he hit a three-run homer. For the week, he went five-for-18 (.278) with two homers, four RBI and two runners thrown out at home from the outfield.
Many years ago, Reds fans anticipated that week or better 100 times from Griffey. Instead, it seems like he spent 100 weeks on the disabled list.
So, we sigh, another dream down, but with no time for regrets. The dream just didn't work out. Does that mean we stop dreaming?

HAGÅTÑA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Dec. 12, 2012) – On Guam, a shuttered spa in Tamuning that allegedly hosted illegal poker games is also allegedly linked to narcotics and sex trafficking, according to recently released military criminal investigation documents.
In addition to the poker and baccarat games, the MGM Spa is accused of selling methamphetamine, marijuana and ecstasy, according to the documents, which were filed in the District Court of Guam on Monday afternoon.
The spa owner, Wai Kam Ho, also allegedly owns a brothel in Tumon, which masquerades as a massage parlor attached to the Club Crazy Horse strip club. Narcotics are also sold at the strip club, the court documents allege.
And finally, the documents reveal new details about the extent of gambling that allegedly went on at the MGM Spa. In addition to smaller games of poker, the spa allegedly hosted a "high-roller table" with a minimum bet of $10,000, according to the documents.
These documents come from the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, which investigated the spa back in 2010. Because the spa was frequented by sailors and airmen, the NCIS worked alongside FBI and DEA agents while investigating the spa, the documents state.
"The MGM Spa has been officially closed for a couple of years; however, the owner is reportedly using the illegal underground gambling activities to launder money obtained from the sale and distribution of narcotics," state the NCIS documents, which summarize the investigation, which was ongoing at that time.
In December 2010 -- about six months after these NCIS documents were created -- FBI agents raided the spa and several other related businesses, including the Crazy Horse strip club. The investigation has since entered federal court, where seven suspects were indicted for their alleged roles in the gambling conspiracy.
However, the indictment doesn't include any charges related to drugs or sex trafficking, and these allegations haven't been made public until now. The charges in the federal case are related to gambling and money laundering only.
Wai Kam Ho and his wife, Betsy Ho, are accused of being at the center of the scheme.
Betsy Ho is the president of the Overseas Chinese Association Center, which allegedly orchestrated illegal gambling under the guise of legal, nonprofit bingo, according to federal court documents. The group was supposed to make donations with its bingo profits, but never did, court documents allege.
The NCIS documents were filed in federal court because they are exhibits in a motion to dismiss the case. Wai Kam Ho's attorney, David Lujan, argues that the NCIS documents prove that this case involves "military personnel enforcing civilian criminal laws." Lujan couldn't be reached for comment.
The MGM Spa still sits shuttered in Tamuning. Graffiti mars the walls of the building, and a rusty chain is padlocked onto the front doors.
Alleged brothel
According to the allegations in NCIS documents, the MGM spa wasn't the only building that hid alleged criminal activity.
Wai Kam Ho also owns the Crazy Horse strip club, a three-story blue-and-pink building behind the police precinct on Fujita Road in Tumon.
Attached to the strip club was once the Ace of Hearts massage parlor, which was allegedly a front for a brothel, according to the documents.
The NCIS documents state that a confidential informant told investigators in 2010 that the alleged brothel employed Chinese women who were rotated through the Crazy Horse building every two weeks. The apartments above the strip club were also used by the brothel, the informant said, according to the NCIS documents.
"(An informant) stated they have had a conversation with one of the Chinese females who explained they did not want to be there," the NCIS documents state. "(The informant) stated several of the Chinese women would have the appearance of shyness and depression."
FBI agents raided the Crazy Horse building at the same time they raided the MGM Spa in 2010, although the court documents filed in relation to the raid made no mention of a brothel in the building.
The building that was once the Ace of Heart massage parlor is now a massage parlor under a different name.

When to order my New 2013 13 Reg Plate car?
With the average delivery time of 12 weeks for any new car or van most new car buyers need to plan way ahead in order to make sure they get their new car at a date and time that is convenient to them.
While there are some great new car deals available for Pre Reg stock cars these tend to be cars that are ordered to the standard specification without any factory options such as Leather, Sat Nav, & Folding Mirrors.
Most new car buyers are still surprised that they have to wait such a long time to get the car of their choice and in may cases end up having to buy another car or a used car simply because they did not give themselves enough time to get their order in.
In the UK the 2 registration change periods are March and September, with the year number representing a car registered between March and August and the year number beginning with a 6 representing car registered between September and February. The current registration on a new car in the UK is represented by the 62 plate and the new registration number 13 will apply to any new vehicles registered from the 1st March 2013.
Given it takes 12 full working weeks to build you new car and taking a few unproductive weeks over Christmas for factory down time, mid November is really the latest you should leave it to get your order in for the new 13 plate reg.

Op-ed: UN Human Rights Council's noble principles not being applied equally when it comes to Israel
Dan Calic
Published: 12.24.12, 10:21 / Israel Opinion
Dan Calic
Have you ever given much thought to the United Nations and whether it's fulfilling the principles of its charter with equality? Has it occurred to you that this organization, which in theory is supposed to be an unbiased adjudicator of justice, is at times anything but, especially when it comes to Israel?
These quotes reflect principles which most people would agree sound noble. Yet are they being applied equally when it comes to Israel? For this we'll take a look at one of the more visible and vocal groups within the UN - the Human Rights Council.
It is made up of 47 member states elected from the General Assembly. Each council member serves a three year term. The council is divided into five regions. The breakdown of seats from each region is: Africa 13, Asia 13, Latin American/Caribbean 8, Western Europe/other States 7 (includes the US), Eastern Europe 6.
Another noteworthy topic is the UN budget. The largest contributor is the United States
by far, at 22%. Yet the nations which provide the smallest contributions are among those who consistently vote against the US, which in many cases ends up against Israel. They include Syria - 84% anti-US record, Lebanon 80%, Egypt
79%, Libya 76%, Pakistan 75% and Saudi Arabia 73%.
With the US providing almost $1 out of $4 for the entire UN budget, is it fair their voting privileges are the same as Egypt for example, which supplies less than 1% and votes against the US 79% of the time? The answer would seem obvious, except this is the UN.
So what does all this mean? When it comes to Israel it means quite a bit. For one, Israel has never served as a member of the UNHRC. Moreover, Israel has been the target of at least 33 critical resolutions passed by the UNHRC since its formation in 2006. No other nation has had more than one issued against it.
With the council's two largest regions controlled by Muslim majority countries, it's obvious why Israel has been a consistent target.
A look at the countries who have served on the UNHRC rights is also worth noting. They include Libya,
China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Egypt and Angola. Ironically, each of them are well known human rights violators.
Maybe the time has come to take a hard look at the UN in general and specifically the UN "Human Rights" Council, with some tough questions.

Implementing Change
The better we understand ourselves and follow our conscience, the more conscious control we have in our lives. This is lesson 32 in the series "Conquering Codependency - Loving Without Leaning" looking at aspects of codependency from a spiritual point of view.
It is a prudent to make positive decisions and implement positive changes to replace harmful habits.
Here is a helpful 3-part process to help you on your self improvement plan to a more positive and healthier self:
1. Consider all possibilities.
2. Discriminate to decide which choice is for the highest good of the situation.
3. Integrate the choice into daily living.
Meditation for Reflection
Find a quiet place to sit and begin by doing a minute of even, regular breathing, such as count 1 breathe in; count 2 breathe out; count 1 breathe in; count 2 breathe out and continue the rhythmic pattern.
At the end of your period of reflection take time to write out new insights in your journal for action and later review. Now, reflect on the following thoughts:
Each step of the way we are making better and better choices, leading to better reactions right down the line in our life.
After considering options, we discriminate by looking over the choices carefully, then deciding what is best for us now and in the long run.
Upgrading our habits improves our lives, and inspires change in others.
Implementing Change Prayer
May I make changes
To live a healthier life
Replacing harmful habits
With better and better choices.

While Casey Stoner is waiting for the second round of the MotoGP championship at Jerez to start at the end of the month, the reigning world champion is trying to cure his arm pump issues (apparently set off by a pair of new gloves) that cost him him to fade to third in the Qatar GP, he's also working on his go-kart.
Stoner is passionate about driving racing karts and has had lessons from 6 times Australian and 48 State Champion Remo Luciani back in Australian and has also driven karts at the South Garda Karting facility at Lonato twice with his own Kart Grand Prix Trophy Birel RY 30 chassis fitted with TAG engine. Last year he gifted each member of his Honda crew with their own Birel kart.

When I create a new user, their default calendar seems to be viewable by anyone even though I do not share it. For example, my own Calendar:

When I create a new user, their default calendar seems to be viewable by anyone even though I do not share it. For example, my own Calendar:
Calendar: May 2009
How do I fix this?
By default your calendar is not shared. If you right client on your calendar from the web client what are the permissions on it ? What version of ZCS are you usingIs ZCS hosted by somebody else or yourself ?Code:su - zimbra zmcontrol -v
Zimbra Community Edition running on my own server:
Release 5.0.14_GA_2850.RHEL5_20090303142201 CentOS5 FOSS edition
Here's a screenshot showing the properties for the Calendar:
OK, I think I was mistaken... there ARE some users whose calendars ARE inaccessible... when I try to pull them up, I get "permission denied."
So, I need to figure out why *my* Calendar, and a couple others, are publically viewable... I probably did something wrong, but I'm not sure what I did...
I have the same issue... I'm running ZCS 6.0.1, and none of my user's calendars are locked down at all... And they are NOT shared. Any ideas?
sjsobol make sure that you are not signed into the mail client when you are testing this, as signing into the mail client gives you access to this interface (It's actually just separating out part of the non-ajax interface)
When I attempt to access your linked calendar I am given a username/password prompt (as I should be).
There is a bug that re-appeared in the 6.0.x branch that causes shares to the public to not show up in the right click -> properties menu. However shares to the public do show up in Preferences -> Sharing. Try looking there to see if it is shared to the public and you just can't see it in the other section.
If it isn't shared would you mind sending a PM with a link to test with?
PS: The bug about the properties dialog is Bug 35459 - Cannot revoke share with Public
Hrm... Not showing anything on the shares page, either, as per the screenshot attached.
I'll PM you the link. Thanks!

The Saint Eugene Catholic Chapel was hosting its second annual Latin Festival Saturday.
Organizers say the event should promote fellowship, family and fun, but they also say it's a way to educate many transient Latinos in the area about important available medical resources.
"We also invited the Health Department. FAMU has a little something right there about farms and basically since our population is migrant and labor, so we want to get also information about health," said Hellen Llamazares, an organizer of the festival.
The Madison, Jefferson and Leon County Health Departments, along with the American Red Cross, were participating in Saturday's Latin Festival. It continued until 8 p.m. Saturday night.

Ubisoft is denying claims that their new (and controversial) DRM technology has been breached by crackers.
CVG (via Kotaku) received a message from Ubisoft, which was responding to rumors that their just-released Silent Hunter 5 PC game had already been hacked. "You have probably seen rumors on the web that Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter 5 have been cracked," wrote the company, continuing, "Please know that this rumor is false and while a pirated version may seem to be complete at start up, any gamer who downloads and plays a cracked version will find that their version is not complete."
The message was also echoed on Ubi's Twitter feed.
Cracked versions of the submarine game on torrent and file-sharing websites appear with instructions that users must only "Install game and copy crack, it's that simple!"
Ubisoft's DRM technology requires a constant connection to the Internet and has been the object of scorn from gamers around the world.
Additionally, while Ubisoft's Assasin's Creed 2 won't be available to PC users until March 16, ShackNews already has an update for the game available, one that alters files to enable gamers to pick up where they left off in the game in the event of an Internet disconnection. Previous reports on Ubi's DRM tech indicated that any disconnection from the Web while playing would result in a player losing all current progress and see them forced to pick up playing from their last save file.
Thanks E. Zachary Knight!

Beautiful and well exposed, Jimmy. I know it is not easy to get this kind of shot. Last time I tried it when I still have my C5060, back in 2004, and it was a total failure..
Perhaps if you're more in the middle, stick the focal length at 14mm between each shots, and use your fancy tripod, then the final result would be a lot more better?

Next time, I'd like to do this at dusk or dawn, so I'll certainly be needing that tripod. I chose not to shoot at 14mm because the lens shows (minor) some distortion at that focal length. I was afraid that this would make it impossible to stitch everything together correctly.

If you are going to Paris soon, pay a visit to Science City
Apart from an interesting Titanic artefacts exhibition, there is also an aeronautics and space section. Of particular interest is a flight simulator. This is as real as it gets. You sit inside a real cockpit of a TB9 Socata Tampico with your instrucor infront of a huge screen and you actually fly the airplane with real controls. Caution - you have an audience behind you who are listening to your conversation and watching your every move. The instructor can select a variety of scenes from VFR to extreme IMC with lightening.
What's more ITS FREE! (Included in the entry ticket) and when I went last Monday I spent a full 30 minutes and did 4 circuits.

Small trees can be used to create impact in gardens of all sizes, adding height, structure and year-round interest. We caught up with David Hurrion, Acting Horticultural Editor of Gardeners' World magazine, to discover his top 10 trees for small gardens.
Small gardens can only accommodate one or two trees, so it's important to make the right choice. A small tree can provide year-round interest, with spring blossom, summer fruits and autumn colour. Once the leaves have fallen from the tree, its bare stems become its main attraction. Here are David's recommendations for small trees that will look great from January to December.
This small tree provides year-round interest with finely divided leaves and dark green-grey bark that develops stripes with age. It rarely flowers, but may produce beautiful pink, puffball blooms. Albizia julibrissin grows to a height of 12m.
The paper-bark maple is a slow-growing small tree with dark green leaves that turn a rich, crimson colour in autumn. Once the leaves have fallen, its trunk and stems provide winter interest, as the chestnut- coloured bark peels away to reveal the new, orange-red bark beneath. The paper-bark maple will tolerate partial shade and grows to a height of 10m.
Prunus serrula is perfect tree for small gardens. It provides year-round interest, producing small, white flowers in spring, followed by small fruits and red or yellow leaves in autumn. Its shiny bark remains a deep red throughout the year. It can reach a height of 10m.
Featured in Toby Buckland's gold medal-winning Ethical garden at BBC Gardeners' World Live 2008, Eriobotrya japonica is a small tree with large, evergreen leaves. Grown in a sheltered, sunny spot, it will produce edible pear-shaped yellow loquats. It's best grown in well-drained soil in full sun or part-shade, where it can reach an eventual height of 4m.
Amelanchier lamarckii has white, showy blossom in early spring and purple fruit in summer. In autumn, its leaves fade from dark green to gold. A. lamarckii prefers growing in a sunny or part-shady spot in moist soil, and can reach an eventual height of 6m.
Easy to grow, Malus floribunda is a deciduous tree, which bears attractive crimson flower buds that open to reveal white-pink blooms in late-spring. Small red and yellow crab apples appear in autumn. It grows to a height of 4m.
Figs are native to Syria and Persia, but have been grown in Britain since Roman times. Although the species doesn't offer a reliable fruit crop in the UK, it's still worth growing for its striking, lobed foliage. Shelter the fig against a warm wall.
The snow gum provides year-round interest, with grey, green and cream patchwork bark and evergreen grey-green leaves, which grow longer and narrower with age. Eucalyptus niphophila bears small, snow-white flowers in summer. It will tolerate most soil types, but prefers full sun, and can grow to a height of 8m.
The Chinese redbud can be grown as a small tree or large shrub. It bears small, pink-purple flowers on bare stems in late-spring, before developing glossy, heart-shaped leaves. Grown in a fertile soil in full sun or part-shade, it can reach a height of 3.5m.
Lyonothamnus is a fast-growing, evergreen tree with a slender habit. Its attractive, cinnamon-coloured bark peels off to reveal lighter, new bark. The tree bears small, white flowers in summer. L. floribundus subsp. asplenifolius grows best in a sheltered position and can reach a height of 5m.
24/11/2011 at 15:28
Only in the description of the Eucalyptus is the soil type mentioned. It is helpful to know if plants are lime tolerant, but this is so often omitted.I have two different rowan trees, and they are beautiful small trees - elegant and airy, with flowers, fruit and good autumn colour. The birds think they are great too. And they keep the witches away!
24/11/2011 at 15:28
30m is not a small tree. This is very misleading. I have a small garden and a tree this size would fill the garden
24/11/2011 at 15:28
I agree with the comment from the person about the 30m tree - WOW, that's HUGE!! Another small tree that we planted a year ago in our North-West facing garden on top of a very windy hill is the Caragana arborescens or Siberian Pea Tree. The description says that it "can grow up to 6 metres tall but in practice seldom exceeds about 3 metres".
24/11/2011 at 15:28
i would like a small tree in my very small garden so that i can hang a bird box on it but i have four cats would the birds be safe?
24/11/2011 at 15:28
I have planted my BBC Rowan tree in my garden or should I say the tiny stick that I recieved from the garden centre, hope it grows but I have this awful feeling that eventually will be too big.

It has since expanded and grown into a solid indie-folk group that "emanates a youthful and energetic sense of comfort through beautiful songs, simple aesthetics, and innovative production." (FIKA Coffee Break). Drawing its musical influences from Radiohead and more, Stone Cold Fox's exceptional musicianship grew from a place of deep-seeded knowledge, rooted in the members' early experimentation with a variety of genres. Now complete with Justin Bright (electric bass/bass synth), Graham Stone (guitar, back-up vocals) and David Tedeschi (drums), Stone Cold Fox shows off "heavy, irreverent songwriting under catchy, indie pop tunes" (Hyphen Magazine) that "capture the spirit of being young in America."

Mental health legislation deeply flawed
In a recent op-ed, former County Supervisor Lynne De Bruin came out in support of newly introduced legislation that would dramatically change control of mental health services in Milwaukee County. While I share her frustration on challenges to create a quality community-based system of care, the solution she supports is not only wrong but her rationale is flawed. I served on many of the same committees as she did and worked closely with the transitions of the same county programs and services and have a very different view.
De Bruin states that the planned changes are similar to the closing of Doyne Hospital and the Milwaukee County School of Nursing but there are no similarities. She correctly notes that when Doyne was closed many services and staff ended up transferred to Froedtert Hospital but over time the county had no responsibility regarding future programs or funding of medical services. The same scenario applied to the school of nursing, which transitioned to the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Again, there was neither ongoing operational responsibility for nursing education nor funding by the county. As president of the nurses' union, I represented the nurses in both of these transitions so have an intimate understanding of what took place.
In reviewing the proposed legislation, it is clear there is no similarity with what is proposed for mental health services. The legislation proposed by state Rep. Joe Sanfelippo and state Sen. Leah Vukmir describes a dramatically different scenerio: continued full funding by the county but zero control over services. This radical legislation mandates Milwaukee County property owners provide a minimum of $177 million per year to a private group of individuals handpicked by Gov. Scott Walker with no accountability to Milwaukee taxpayers.
These private individuals will determine what services will be provided in our community and who will provide those services. The bill will strip all authority from the local elected representatives. The Journal Sentinel has reported that this will bring Milwaukee into parity with the rest of the counties in the state but that is also not correct. In none of the other 71 counties will local homeowners be required to turn over their property taxes to a private board with no accountability to citizens of their communities.
There are so many flaws with this legislation that it must be withdrawn or voted down. Who holds liability: the private Walker-appointed board with complete control over all services or county taxpayers whose only role is to pay the bill? Will the Walker board be required to comply with open meeting requirements? If the private board contracts for services, will there be bidding requirements such as exist currently for the dozens of private contracts for mental health services currently in place in the county or can any or all services be turned over to private individuals or companies with no bidding, input or vote by local taxpayers?
Will the Walker-appointed board have authority to mandate that private providers, including hospitals, expand capacity to ensure adequate services?
Do we trust Walker to appoint individuals with the correct sensitivity toward people with mental illness?
Recently released emails from the time when Walker was county executive reveal that he surrounded himself with staff members who made demeaning and disgusting comments not only about the Behaviorial Health Division ("loony bins"), but more troubling were the statements they made about people with disabilities and mental illness. The attitude reflected in these emails may be the very reason positive changes could not be made when Walker was county executive and also why he should not be trusted to oversee the system in the future
I share the frustration of the staff, consumers and advocates regarding a lack of sufficient community-based services, wraparound programs and partners with private area hospitals. We should and must do better in Milwaukee County to provide a system of care and services that people with mental illness and developmental disabilities deserve. We need to restore national certification of BHD, which has been put on hold by County Executive Chris Abele's administration. Attention must be paid to the significant and growing nurse vacancy rate and troubling nurse-to-patient ratios at the county facility. These are challenges that need immediate attention and will not be fixed by the proposed legislation.
Our union would welcome an advisory board of individuals with a passion for care to serve as champions of such a system, but we do not and cannot support legislation that would strip all Milwaukee County citizens of all say over how their taxpayer dollars are spent. It is our community, and we must not turn over our rights or responsibilities to a Walker-appointed board.
Candice Owley, a registered nurse with a master's degree in public administration, is president of the Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, which represents health professionals in both public and private health facilities in the Milwaukee area.

As a new, first time mama there were five tips that I wish that I had known before. This can be such an exciting yet uncertain time and I am excited to share them with you here today! If you are pregnant with your first baby, these are a few things that I can pass on to you now as a mama of three! The love and joy that you are about to experience is unexplainable… you will for the first time experience an amount of love for another person that is so absolutely incredible, congrats!
All of the unsolicited advice doesn't stop once the baby is born. Just be confident that you are the mama and that you know best! Shrug it off and take everything with a grain of salt.
There are things on your list that you might not actually need (despite what everyone says). Splurge more on a few fun outfits and a few great blankets!
It's perfectly normal and perfectly fine if you are a bit uneasy sharing your baby at first! This is all so new and you have to figure out what you feel comfortable with along the way. Don't let anyone rush you!
it's okay
It's going to be okay. All those new mama worries and thoughts will slow and you will settle into this new, beautiful role!
I knew that my life would forever change… I just didn't realize the magnitude of that beforehand. Your life will forever change. The way you love, the way you feel, the way you live. You are in for a beautiful ride!

Find Out Exactly Which Parts Of World War Z Were Rescued By Damon Lindelof And Drew Goddard
By Sean O'Connell 2013-06-19 13:06:52 comments
There are a couple of different ways that one can watch Marc Forsters World War Z when the movie finally opens in theaters on Friday, June 21. You can challenge it to live up to your lofty expectations if you happened to read Max Brooks source novel (which tells its story in a completely different fashion). You can attempt to enjoy it as a large-scale, apocalyptic summer popcorn thriller. Or you can analyze it scene by scene to see where the old version of Forsters movie stops and the corrected version begins.
Its possible you arent aware of this, but Forsters production endured a very difficult, rocky and tumultuous schedule that according to reports led to costly reshoots, multiple rewrites, and a new ending that fixed the previous conclusion (which wasnt working). If that side of the movies existence interests you, your Bible will be the Vanity Fair cover story from earlier this year that documents several of the problems the movie endured.
But with the movie approaching, The Huffington Post quotes a source about specific scenes that were altered. Consider waiting if you havent yet seen World War Z and want to remain unspoiled.
Still with us? Here's the dividing line between the initial film Forster worked on and the reshoots most of which were penned by the trio of Damon Lindelof, Drew Goddard and Christopher McQuarrie. Reports say that the original ending of the movie, which involved a large-scale zombie battle in Russia, didnt work. And so the minute Pitts character boards an airplane in Jerusalem, the new ending kicks in including the chaotic mid-air attack that you can see in most of the films trailers:
HuffPo confirms, Everything starting with [Pitts character Gerry] Lane entering the aircraft, including every incident on the flight, was written by Goddard and Lindelof. The rewrites also get credit for a completely different ending, which builds more suspense than a digital Russian battle likely would have generated.
But thats not all. The HuffPo story says that certain scenes spotted in the trailers also were rewrites, including the opening of Pitt and his family at the breakfast counter watching news reports about the outbreak, and a couple of slower-beat character moments involving phone calls and conversations that give a nice reprieve from the zombie action.
There will be a ton of discussions over the next few days and weeks as to whether or not the corrections helped Z enough to succeed at the box office. I believe that the movie works very well in its current state, and I prefer the ending that exists now versus the big battle one we wont be able to see (unless its on a DVD at some point in the future). Either way, this behind-the-scenes insight is priceless, and probably will get curious folks into the theaters to see where Z has been stitched together like a rag doll.

As if women don't have enough to worry about between home, family and work – now they have to decipher what to do about mammograms. Wait until age 50? Push forward at age 40? The confusion swirling around mammograms have a lot of women wondering what to do now.
For Lisa Zeis, who had an aggressive form of cancer, there's no reason to wonder.
"Early detection is key," said Lisa. "If I had not conducted a self check and found my lump early, I could possibly still be fighting cancer that had spread or, even worse, not even be here to tell my story."
That's the bottom line for Guy Schropp, M.D., division leader of Women's Health Services for Alegent Health Clinic. He says guidelines are just that – guidelines.
"Waiting to begin screening until age 50 is not recommended by the American Cancer Society or the America College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG)," said Dr. Schropp.
In fact, the breast cancer screening guidelines issued by ACOG in July of 2011 recommend annual mammograms for women beginning at age 40. The group of physicians based their guidelines on outcomes, saying, "due to the high incidence of breast cancer in the U.S. and the potential to reduce deaths from it when caught early, we recommend mammograms every one to two years starting at age 40 and annually beginning at age 50."
Last autumn, the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force recommended fewer screenings starting at a later age – 50 instead of 40, which is the age recommended by the American Cancer Society.
Dr. Schropp says his patients are confused by the conflicting guidelines, but are more comfortable with earlier screening. It comes down to the relationship between doctor and patient. Women can have their own personal expert when it comes to breast health screening – their doctor.
The 3, 2, 1 of Mammograms
Zeis encourages women to take screening seriously. It's quick, it's easy and it's painless. Here are her top three things every woman should know about mammograms:
Dr. Schropp offers two things women need to know:
And the number one thing you must know:
I am 69 years old. How often should a
woman my age get a mammogram? I am scheduled to get one in Sept?

I'm 60 years old, and just recently have been experiencing some discomfort in my left breast. Enough so, that it's become a concern. Would an OB/GYN Dr. be the right person to contact? Thanks alot!
You can see an OB/GYN physician, but we do have a Breast Health Clinic at Lakeside or Bergan that would be best.

Justin Bieber Robbed, Victimized By Fake 911 Call
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
Its been a less than stellar week for Justin Bieber. The pop star was performing in Tacoma on Tuesday evening when someone snuck into the tour managers office and made off with a slew of valuables. The full extent of the theft is unknown to the general public, but the missing items included at least a camera and a computer, both of which contained sensitive information.
Its unclear whether the Biebs filed a police reported about the incident, but he did hit up Twitter to bitch about it a few times. You can take a look at one of the complaints below
yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. people should respect other's property
Given how annoying getting robbed is, Bieber should have been able to spend a few days fixating on that, but unfortunately for him and the taxpayers of Los Angeles, thats not the only bit of bad luck he ran into. Early this morning, police descended on his home after receiving a call that someone was waving a gun around. When they arrived, it was determined the call was the latest of several hoaxes designed to get a large number of police to falsely respond to a celebritys home. According to The Los Angeles Times, responders interviewed members of Biebers security team just to be safe and then left.
Heres to hoping the rest of Justins October is more pleasing, or at least not detrimental to the wallets of LA taxpayers.

BERKELEY - For the second year in a row Golden Bears will act like Polar Bears in the frigid waters of McCovery Cove (adjacent to AT&T Park) as the Olympic Club of San Francisco's water polo team will be entertaining the Southern California All-Stars in a free exhibition water polo match at 4:45 p.m. Sunday (Aug. 26).
The Olympic Club is hosting its second annual AT&T Park McCovey Cove Water Polo Match after a successful inaugural event last year that was in conjunction with Presbyterian-Cal football game in San Francisco. This year, the water polo match in the San Francisco Bay will coincide with the Atlanta Braves-San Francisco Giants baseball game that begins at 5:05 p.m. Sunday.
Sunday's roster will be made up of several Cal water polo notables, including - Michael Sharf, a two-time NCAA champion who holds the school record for most goals scored in a single season (98 in 2007) and was named the 2007 NCAA MVP; Mark Sheredy, a two-time NCAA champion goalie who was named the 2006 NCAA MVP; Brian Dudley, an NCAA champion and a member of the South African National Team. Also featured at the event will be a hero of the London Olympic Games - Cal's Heather Petri, a 2012 gold medalist and four-time Olympian for the U.S. women's water polo team, who will throw the ball in the bay for the opening sprint.
As in a regulation match in a heated pool, the McCovey Cove contest will be played in a full Olympic distance 30-meter course with two goals, four 10 minute quarters, a shot clock, a scoreboard, and a referee stationed on a stand up paddle board to officiate. Players will not be wearing wetsuits.
Schools with players represented at the match include Cal, UCLA, Santa Clara, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, Stanford and USC. Commissioners from the Olympic Club will be playing as well. Twelve players who will be participating in the match have won NCAA championships, and five participants are former USA National Team Members. Players range from 18 to over 50 years old.
Along with Sharf, two members of the Bears' 2007 national championship squad - Mike Sample and Thomas Pearson - were instrumental in organizing the water polo match in McCovey Cove. For more information on the event, contact Mike Sample at email@example.com or 408-472-9039.
"We are excited to be bringing this match back to McCovey Cove for a second year," said Sample. "Not only is it an awesome way to gain exposure for the sport, but the unique setting the cove provides just outside the Giants stadium is an exciting element for both the players and fans. We are doing this for the love of the game and to help raise money to support The Olympic Club Foundation, which provides athletic programs for disadvantaged youth in the Bay Area."
"This year we are especially grateful in that we are able to give back to the community by donating proceeds of the event to The Olympic Club Foundation, added Pearson. "Our main goal is to just go out there, have fun, and put on an entertaining show for everyone who wants to watch."
"On behalf of the Olympic Club, we are delighted to be hosting the second annual McCovey Cove Water Polo Game," said Sharf, The Olympic Club Water Polo Team Commissioner. "The game will be a fantastic showcase for our sport and we hope to continue the momentum water polo gained at the London Olympics."

Next week, the Van Alstyne Public Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers.
Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources. Often the heart of their communities, campuses or schools, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their patrons live, work and study. Libraries are trusted places where everyone in the community can gather to reconnect and reengage with each other to enrich and shape the community and address local issues.
Librarians work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large to discover what their communities needs are and meet them. Whether through offering e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers or those to support early literacy, librarians listen to the community they serve, and they respond.
The Van Alstyne Public Library serves Van Alstyne and its neighbor communities by providing books in print and e-books as well as audiobooks, entertaining and educational videos, literacy events such as preschool story time, elementary hour and tween book club and fun programs for all ages. Summer is especially action packed.
"Service to the community has always been the focus of the library," said Tracy Luscombe, Library Director. "While this aspect has never changed, libraries have grown and evolved in how they provide for the needs of every member of their community."
The Van Alstyne Public Library is celebrating National Library Week with special prizes and a chance for you to tell us how our library has changed your life.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
For more information, visit the Van Alstyne Public Library at 151 W. Cooper Street, call 903-482-5991 or see the library's Web site at www.cityofvanalstyne.us/library. Libraries hours are Monday - Wednesday 10:00am – 6:00pm, Thursday 12:00 – 6:00pm, and Saturday 10:00am – 2:00pm.

Ghost: Snuffbox Immanence and Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet
Snuffbox Immanence
Drag City
Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet
Drag City
JAPAN'S GHOST HAS yet to record an album as great as their press photos. During their decade-plus career, this ingenious yet unfocused pack of guitar-wielding hippies (who always seem to wear the most far-out Eastern threads) has been snapped atop Tolkienesque mountains, banging on giant gongs, and lounging about Ghost House--an abandoned Tokyo temple the collective calls "commune." Invariably, the camera's eye focuses directly on the group's silken-haired leader, Masaki Batoh, who anchors their sound with his pithy voice and histrionic guitar work that can swerve from the folk whimsy of the Incredible String Band to prog-rock bombast. He's very photogenic and very much revered in indie-rock circles in which chic geeks value a synergy of surface and substance.
In actuality, Batoh is also quite talented, even if he doesn't always cash in on his potential. For each of his otherworldly acoustic pieces or puissant electric jams, listeners must sit through layers of wanking that can get plenty tedious, even when leavened by brief forays into Krautrock and modern classical music. The band's latest two albums (released simultaneously, à la Use Your Illusion I and II) showcase the two sides of Ghost. Snuffbox Immanence contains ten polished, dynamic songs, while Tune In, Turn On, Free Tibet flakes out with underdeveloped acoustic work and a 34-minute climax that eventually atrophies into chaotic electronic squealing.
While Snuffbox opens with majestic chimes and a sliding guitar, the band begins Tune In with a Boba Fett-like spoken word harangue. And where Tune In serves up a flimsy cover of Tom Rapp's "Images of April," Snuffbox sees Ghost turn the Rolling Stones' "Live with Me" completely inside out. The unlikely cover shows the five-piece at its best--causing a schism in a classic-rock song by slicing it with the Velvet Underground's searing guitars rather than Muddy Waters's wails. It's a fascinatingly effeminized reading: Mick Jagger's raunch is replaced by Batoh's angelically spiritual, almost Nick Drake-like singing, and the original's wailing horns are replaced with rollicking glockenspiel. Mystically maneuvering its way across the global village, the song encapsulates everything you need to know about Tokyo's foremost practitioners of what has been termed "heavy chamber folk." Heck, it nearly lives up to their press photos.

What are your clinical feelings on phentermine for weight loss
Customer Question
What are your clinical feelings on phentermine for weight loss? I saw a doctor in Easton, MD who gave me a light physical and enough supply of Phentermine to take 1/2 a pill for two weeks and then he will see me to determine how I am doing and proceed from there...is this appropriate treatment?

Phentermine is a good weight loss drug when used under medical prescription.
Since your doctor has examined you and given this drug, it should be safe for you and work well.
However, you should be aware that the weight loss from weight loss drugs is usually temporary. Often the weight is regained as soon as the person stops taking the drug.
But in the short and medium term, it is quite useful.

Thanks so much! My intentions were to use the drug to help curb cravings and hunger, while starting to control my calorie intake. Will changing my eating and drinking habits be enough to keep me from gaining the weight back once it is lost and how long is too long to be on phentermine? Once you go off of the drug is it safe to use again after a period of time if you feel you need to jump start weight loss again?
Lisa, MSN, FNP-BC, CCRN
replied 6 years ago.
Thank you for writing in to justanswer.com. I noticed your posting and wanted to address these questions.
Unfortunately, weight lost while using phentermine can be easily regained if eating and drinking habits are not monitored. In particular, I would advise you to be very cautious when transitioning off of the drug. The drug will decrease the appetite; therefore, as you wean off of the drug, your appetite may return, and you will want to try and be very disciplined with your eating and drinking. Without making a cognizant effort to monitor consumption, some patient's will tend to overeat once the appetite returns.
Now, this drug should only be used for a short period of time. This is generally 3-4 months. This is necessary for a couple of reasons. Phentermine can be habit forming, so this reduces the risk. In addition, after a period of time, your body will likely adjust to the phentermine, and weight loss may stall after a few months.
After a break in treatment (1-2 months), the phentermine may be restarted if continued weight loss is needed. The break will allow enough time for the body to reset, if you will. Then, once the phentermine is started again, the body will respond, with less of the tolerance, and weight loss will result. Generally, one to two cycles of phentermine should be sufficient to achieve significant weight loss. If longer treatment is necessary, this would be based on the individual's needs.
I hope this helps to answer your questions.

The building gained acclaim after it was chosen to be the subject of an artwork by Graham's close friend, the noted New England painter Eric Sloane (1905-1985).
