Attorneys in the lawsuit against the city's new student assignment plan say they will accuse school board chairman David Fox of openly advocating resegregation during community meetings last year.
A two-week trial in the NAACP-backed lawsuit is scheduled to begin Tuesday before federal Judge John Nixon.
Attorney Allen Woods, who represents families suing the school board, says witnesses will testify about public comments Fox made about the rezoning plan. The lawsuit seeks to toss out the plan, which ended the busing of black children from north Nashville to Hillwood and Hillsboro this school year.
"Chairman Fox clearly said that was the intent of the plan, to put African American students back in north Nashville where they live," Woods says. "He identified students by race. We've got at least three witnesses to those meetings who are ready to testify as to what he said."
In their complaint, the plaintiffs claim Fox said "more than once" that "African Americans cannot learn" and that they "are failing so the school board believes that they should separate and rezone" them to Pearl-Cohn schools.
Fox, who would not comment Wednesday to the City Paper about the lawsuit, did deny the accusations in an affidavit filed with the court. "For the record," he says, "I have never made such a statement, and I affirmatively state that this was not the motivation or intent of the rezoning plan."
Also in a statement at a board meeting in September, Fox said, "Our student assignment plan is not discriminatory and the lawsuit that has been filed in federal court is meritless."
The NAACP says the plan rolls back decades of racial progress and dooms the city's poor, black children to a substandard education in segregated schools. To win their case, attorneys say they need to prove only that race was one of the factors in the school board's decision to rezone students.
But at an initial hearing in the case in September, Metro attorney Kevin Klein contended the plan gives poor children from predominantly black sections of the city the opportunity to succeed in neighborhood schools.
Klein pointed out the school board voted to spend an additional $5 million a year to improve schools in north Nashville.
"This is Metro Nashville's chance to take at-risk students and give them an opportunity to succeed," Klein said, "but we've got to give it time, and we've got to stop pretending that busing students is the solution."
Do the "neighborhood schools" noted in the article bear any resemblance to old run-down schools to which blacks used to be segregated? I wonder if one of the fears is that these schools will be treated as second-class by the Board; no parent wants to see their child receive any less opportunity than the next.
I think the NAACP lawsuit might have some merit in there somewhere (though it seems to have an equal amount of crazy); like it or not, going back to strictly neighborhood schools is going to have some re-segregative effect. HOWEVER, I can't see how members of the School Board, especially Fox, would be dumb enough to own up to any segregative intent, even if somewhere deep down that's what the yes voters wanted.
How do you "segreigate" a majority? What exactly is wrong with neighborhood schools?
If they want to pay for busing let them choose whatever school they want to then fill in the whites and hispanics and others where there is room left over.
Its not like any school here is doing all that well.
The suit on its face is absurd but I hope they get someone beside Klien to represent us, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
My neighbor is a horrid segregationist. He sent his kids to private school and openly said to all of us who could not afford private schools that he wanted to segregate his kids from trash. I am so mad!
Neighborhood schools are better than busing simply because people can take ownership in a school in the community. As a former teacher in MNPS who taught at a school where 70-80% of the students had to take a one 12 mile to school everyday we had little parental involvement. It is considered to be a high poverty school, so most of the parents could not afford to come to the school due to no car or littlle money to fuel the car. I had been told by bus drivers and students that they passed two school buildings not being using everyday.
The SB keeps saying they will spend 5 million extra to make the separate schools equal. Have they? It seems that agreeing to spend extra money in these schools is a tacit admission that the schools are lacking.

Frank, don't waste your energy on this man and his issues. Just remind him that to some people he might just be considered trash. And he probably went to a public school, so ask him "how did you turn out"?
When my friends bash the public school system I remind them that they were part of it growing up and if they would continue to participate, then maybe the schools would meet their expectations. Most who don't like public schools run from the problem like your "neighbor".
frank, the guy may be a real jerk and snob, but he has every right to his opinion, doesn't he? If he has the financial means to put his kids in private schools, then no one can get angry about it. Unfortunately, he sees it as his right to piss on everybody else by calling all public-school-educated kids/families trash. So what?
"and if they would continue to participate, then maybe the schools would meet their expectations. Most who don't like public schools run from the problem "
Amen. I went to public school and turned out just fine. I've got two advanced degrees.
sidney, Frank is pulling your leg.
There are two schools in Nashville that is 90+ black,and they are Whites Creek and Maplewood, and that seems to be just fine with the blacks. I do not know of any school in Nashville that has that high percentage of whites. As long as it is a natural mixture, the schools will have a representative of all races. The economy as it is today, the gasoline has to be taken in concern of price.
Bless their hearts. Soon they may have to build another wall around their compound wallss. Reminds me of the middle ages.
This neighbor of mine that sent his kids to private schools has built a wroght iron fence around his yard. He even has a gate that only opens with a code. I bet that fence and gate cost him $50,000 dollars. I said to him. "That's a nice gate." "What is the purpose of the gate?" He said to me. " I am going to sell it next year" "A realtor friend said that next to granite countertops that gates for homes in this neighborhood are a good investment" I walked away with my eyes crossed. I wanted to say something tacky but I am too much of a gentleman.
The neighbor has the money and should do what he wants with it.
As for neighborhood schools, let the parents take their kids to whichever school they want to drive to, but don't use taxpayer money to bus them. If the parents don't like it, let them move to a district they like just like I did.
It seems like many of you commentors have visual recognition problems. Have you not noticed that we still have just as many "big Yellow buses" running the streets, the budget is still increasing, and we seem to be busing the minority kids just the same. If all these kids live and attend "neighborhood" schools, then why do we need to transport them to their schools? I actually see very few students walking to Hunters Lane or Whites Creek, which are being called "neighborhood schools" . I walked 5-6 miles to school in East Nashville for 12 years and loved it.
(Part 3: Forced Integration and The Plight of Black America)
Many so-called liberals and integrationist (who are Black and White) have a narrow vision of the world and Black people. They still feel that Freedom, Justice and Equality for Black people are magically found in mingling and integrating with White people. How can the mere fact that a Black child sits in the same room with a White child cause a surge of unrealized intelligence and learning?
What is the difference between equal rights and integration? Black people want equal rights. If in order to obtain equal rights, they have to be around White people so be it. But the claims by the integrationist that the mere presence of White people around Black people affords equality and magical advantages are lost in the hopeless state of Blacks who actually feel they are inferior to Whites.
Black people need their own schools. There is nothing wrong with White private schools, Jewish private schools or Catholic schools. Due to the history of Blacks in America if anybody needs their own schools we do. It is for sure that the majority of Blacks in America know very little about their history and culture. White racism generated by insincere liberals and various sycophants have promoted negative ideas about Black culture. These same people have also refused to note the realities of the economics of racism and how this system has co-opted our leadership and organizations.
Thus, many of our people have become fools because they are too lazy to think for themselves. Meanwhile many Blacks are afraid to stand up for anything and have a fear that is reflective of the fear placed in Black people by harsh and cruel slave masters. Fear in the Black community causes an abnormal behavior in Black people. The result of this fear is the Black attack on anything or anybody that attempts to record the truth about the Black experience in America. For the record, do more Black people oppose the Freedom Journal than White racists?
It is clear then that separation does not mean segregation. Why does anything solely created and controlled by Black people cause some people to question its existence? If White people and Jews can have their holidays, schools, clubs etc. why can't Black people do the same?
Since nothing is wrong with separate organizations, all Black marches or all Black schools etc., there is also nothing wrong with integration. The foolish and mis-guided Black leadership who re-defined desegregation to mean integration has caused a great deal of confusion. There is a need to address the on-going confusion. The integrationist need to stop attempting any aspect of forced integration. What we need are quality schools. Also we note that the inclusion of White people based on alleged White superiority does not make schools equal or insure quality education for Black children.
Black people need to work toward quality neighborhoods schools and have some impact on the staff and the curriculums. Integration is a natural development that cannot be forced upon other people. Black people want equal rights not integration. Is integration another means for Black charlatans to beg money from the guilty conscience of insincere racists? Do White philanthropists continue to seek to control the destiny of Black America?
Peace and Love,

"Wild Rose" Original Hand-colored Engraving by James Sowerby, 1831
More questions? Get in touch
An original hand colored copper plate engraving by English artist James Sowerby (1757-1822) titled "Wild Rose", 1813. Beautifully framed with matting from Holland and moulding from Spain. Framed size: 13" x 11.5". 5.75" x 4.75". Excellent condition.
James Sowerby (21 March 1757 – 25 October 1822) was an English naturalist and illustrator. Contributions to published works, such as A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland or English Botany, include his detailed and appealing plates. The use of vivid colour and accessible texts were intended to reach a widening audience in works of natural history.
James Sowerby was born in Lambeth, London, his parents were named John and Arabella. Having decided to become a painter of flowers his first venture was with William Curtis, whose Flora Londinensis he illustrated. Sowerby studied art at the Royal Academy and took an apprenticeship with Richard Wright. He married Anne Brettingham De Carle and they were to have three sons: James De Carle Sowerby (1787–1871), George Brettingham Sowerby I (1788–1854) and Charles Edward Sowerby (1795–1842), the Sowerby family of naturalists. His sons and theirs were to contribute and continue the enormous volumes he was to begin and the Sowerby name was to remain associated with illustration of natural history.
An early commission for Sowerby was to lead to his prominence in the field when the botanist L'Hértier de Brutelle invited Sowerby to provide the plates for his monograph, Geranologia, and two later works. He also came to the notice of William Curtis, who was undertaking a new type of publication. Early volumes of the first British botany journal, The Botanical Magazine, contained fifty-six of his illustrations.

Are you a
Delta SkyMiles member? If so, try not to die....ever.
Delta has just quietly changed its frequent flier program for the second time in 2013.
Back in January, Delta
made it harder to qualify for Medallion status and all its perks. Now, it is changing its rules so that a husband or wife can no longer inherit SkyMiles upon their spouse's death.
Subtle Change in Rules
Viewer Eric Davis alerted us to this change after comparing the 2013 and 2012 SkyMiles rules.
The new rules, as of March 2013, say
"miles may not be transfered...upon death."
However, the 2012 rule book states:
"While the Miles expire upon a Member's death, the Administrator or Executor of the Member's Estate may request Delta reinstate and transfer the Miles from the deceased Member's account to one or more members' accounts."
That paragraph is now gone.
You can still transfer them before you die to a family member who also has a SkyMiles number, according to the rules. But from now on they die with you.
Which means use them or lose them.
As always, don't waste your money.

Saltwater Sandals
Our sis, Helen has the most amazing taste in kids clothes. Her children always look incredibly put together, I don't know how she does it. And, to top it off she always gets a bargain.
Last year, Helen got her girls Salt Water Sandals that I instantly fell in love with.
They are cute, hard wearing, comfy, affordable, and best of all look great on boys, girls and ladies alike.
Whether in fashion or in the home, classic and simple is always hard to beat! The only question is which color do you like best?

'The Searching Glance' is the long-awaited second collection from one of Scotland's leading short story writers. The worlds inhabited by the characters in these stories are diverse – a hill walker is unknowingly watched over as he lies dying on a Highland hill; a Glasgow party-goer searches years later for a woman who may have mistaken him for a monster; a mysterious prize is sought in the perpetual daylight of midsummer Orkney. Whether it is in a suburban garden or on the stark skyline of a Borders hill, the landscape and seasonal extremes provoke and unsettle.
Linda Cracknell's stories are multi-layered and brooding with longing and loss, allowing the reader a 'searching glance' at characters' lives. With touches of the surreal and hard strokes of reality, these stories will linger in the mind.
'Linda Cracknell's attention to detail is impressive: she writes as a painter in oils might paint, using a palette rich in both colour and texture, and the people she brings to life seem at once both part of and alienated from the landscapes in which they move. These are quiet yet passionate stories, subtle and striking in their effect.' —James Robertson
''Life Drawing' explores the slight life-changing moments we often experience but seldom appreciate… These stories will touch a nerve with everyone who reads them.' —Sunday Post

Deano the Clown by B.K. Dewey
The new playground at the Ravenna Eckstein community center opened a couple of weeks ago, and Seattle Parks and Recreation threw a party last night to celebrate. It was a blast for the kids — music, hot dogs, face painting, jump ropes, and — yes — clowns. Deano here was a hit with the little ones.
The most prevalent character clown in the American circus is the hobo, tramp or bum clown. Usually not a happy clown but….

I Hate Being a mum(15 Posts)
Just wanted to say thanks for your responses. It has definitely helped. You can convince yourself that you're the only person to ever feel like this and you're a terrible mother. I have to start giving myself a break and accepting that there are going to be bad days. I will look at the mental health thread. Thanks for the tip!
I second what YoniBottsBumgina said. The mental health thread in parenting is very cathartic and supportive . It's not only us LP's who struggle with parenting.
nothing original to add but just want you to know you are not alone in feeling like this, I used a lot of nursery time when my son was 2.5. Doing it on your own is really hard-but it will get better,
When my son was 1 and a half I thought I would go mad
I know exactly how you feel OP, DS is 3 and I have semi-regular points where I just can't take it anymore. And that's with a DP, but he works full time, so the bulk of childcare lands squarely on my shoulders.
Agree that you should lean on your friends. A good friend will help however they can, listen to you moan and not judge. The ones who don't are clearly not such good friends. I know my lot are a godsend - they visit regularly, occupy DS so I can do some housework, drag me out of the house when I feel low and need cheering up, and not once have they complained about it. And they're all childless,they have no frame of reference!
Don't neglect your own interests. We don't all morph into perfect mothers who do macramé and bake cookies the minute we give birth. You are still a human being, still entitled to a life outside of parenting. Try to find the time to do something just for yourself, it really does help.
If you're around London, I'm always up for a coffee and a chat. You're not alone.
Could you maybe split care with her dad more evenly, like 50/50? I'm a working single parent and after a week off I'm happy to get back to work, I just know I'd go insane if I were a full time sahm and my son is quite an easy child.
Take heart in the fact that this phase won't last forever, once they start nursery/school you do get a bit of your life back.
On a practical level I find getting out and about every day really helps, ds needs loads of exercise and if they're happy playing they tend not to moan too much.
I work full time so only get a couple of hours a day with my dd, but even then, sometimes when she's in a whiney mood, I have to look to the heavens and pray for patience, patience, patience. It doesn't come naturally to me at all.
My advice is to start leaning on your friends. Seriously. That is what (good) friends are for. When dd was born, we went through a really rocky patch - dh working all hours and I was all over the place. We have no family support, but our friends were amazing, bringing food, doing the washing, holding my hand.... I don't know how we'd have got through it without them. I would absolutely say that for about 6 months, our friendships were defined by me needing them... but then things got better, DH changed jobs, the baby got easier and I emerged from the fog of it all. The friends that helped me through it are the people I am now closest to in the whole world, and I know one day I'll be able to be there for them like they were for me.
Generally I think people like to help, but they don't know how to offer, or they don't know you need it (they're all probably saying how amazing you are for coping with everything!)
Work out what you need - a night off, some help in the evenings, whatever it is and then ask someone who you think might be able to help. Seriously, just say "i'm having a tough time, I could use a night off with a g&t, is there any chance you could have dd for a couple of hours/babysit/whatever".
Where abouts in the country are you?! If you're local, I'll help!
Dear FTF, you are not going mad. You actually sound exhausted -dealing with a challenging 2.5 old really can suck the life force from you and you are doing it alone.
People will be along with much better advice but I would say:
(a) don't beat yourself up about it but DO make a plan. She will be at school in 18 months time. What do you WANT to be doing then?
(b) She won't be 2.5 forever so this stage will pass. Mine are now older and
aside from regular teenage strops are much more fun to be with.
(c) As SoupDragon says think about how you spend your time when she is at nursery and her dads. What do you do for yourself - do you make time to allow yourself a treat and take a breather? Even if you have very little cash there are things to do for free/little cost. I had sunk into the depths of despair so just spent time indulging myself in feeling miserable until it was pointed out that there was a lot I could fix. Couch potato to 5k did it for me and is free!
(d) Deal with the whining and screaming - this SAVED my relationship with my oldest
very very whiny DS. I can't remember the name of the book I read but, in short, the advice was that any time there was whining or screaming I came down to eye level and calmly while biting back my bad temper told him that I could only help him if he spoke to me in a nice voice so I could understand what he wanted/what the problem was and then waited for a response. Also praised him when a request was made in a nice way the first time. I have to say it took about two months to bed in but by the age of four he had turned into a fully signed up member of the "non-whining" police and used to tell his siblings, cousins that whining wasn't permitted in our house!
Hope that you have a calm and restful weekend
Thank you for your responses. The lack of support network is an issue. My parents help all they can but they live 2 hours away. I don't drive either so getting to them is difficult (although possible on the train). I have friends but they all have their own lives and I hate feeling like a burden on people. I don't want our friendships to be defined by me leaning on them constantly. I feel like I'm putting things off constantly because I'm waiting for a time when I feel able to deal with it.. I don't think that is ever going to happen. I know I need to go back to work for my own sanity but I can't find the headspace to start applying and interviewing for jobs. She has totally worn me out.
Loads of people feel just like this. I know I do. I have a supportive DP, a great job, DS is in nursery or family care all week, yet I still crave space and time. I think the toddler stage is truly the most demanding, my DS is up in my face pretty much all the time, and wrangling him in this heat is an almighty pain in the arse.
But he will grow. Just think, you can sit and drink Pimms while he takes himself off to the toilet. I know, I don't believe it will ever happen either. But it will.
So you have any support nearby OP? Family/friends? X
I didn't want to read and run OP. Someone with better comments will be along soon but I know that you are not alone in your feelings and I can only imagine how the breakdown of your marriage has hurt you too.
Please. Fight that urge to compare your SEN job to your current job. Firstly, your SEN children went home every day. You got recovery time, good sleep, support in the workplace and we all know that children behave differently (usually better) when they're with adults who aren't their parents and in a school environment.
The screaming and whining is not your fault.
Give her a choice. (Which cereal/ fruit/ activity) Follow it through. When she tantrums because it's just not right just make sure she's safe and then ignore it.
Make sure she's safe. And take yourself away for a break. You are a good mum. Make time for yourself when she's at nursery. Have a coffee and read a book. Go sit on the swings. Have a sleep!!!
You are a great mum.
Please come onto the "has parenting affected your mental health" thread in parenting. You are so not alone in this.
I may come back with more practical advice later but I have to go to work now... Check out the thread. It really isn't just you. X
What do you do for yourself?
I think most mothers feel like that at times as caring for a small child can be overwhelming - especially if you have to deal with all the dreary crap by yourself.
I've never messaged on here before but I feel really low and I don't have anyone else I can talk to about this. I suppose I just want to hear that I'm not the only one feeling like this..
It sounds so drastic to say I hate being a mum, and of course I love my daughter (she's 2.5 years old) but I really hate my life. I feel totally stuck and trapped. My marriage fell apart last year and it was a massive shock having to deal with my daughter alone. She's very quick tempered and volatile and sensitive. Most of the time I can deal with it calmly but there are moments when I completely lose it. This morning for example, she got out of bed and spent the first hour we were awake just screaming and whining at me. Nothing I did was right, nothing I gave her was right. She hit me, she persistently did the things I asked her not to do, and eventually I ended up in tears.
I really hate being a mum, I hate the fact that I can't even go to the toilet on my own, I hate the fact that if I don't do what she wants the second she wants it she screams at me.
Of course there are nice moments and I love her unconditionally, but there are also moments when I really regret ever having her. She goes to nursery two days a week and to her dad most weekends but I still feel suffocated by her. I feel like I can't breathe. I don't really enjoy playing with her, I find it really boring. It's not as if I was some high flying professional before I had her, ironically I used to work with special needs children. I just feel like I can't escape the screaming and whining.
This will probably be very alien to most mums who cherish the time they spend with their offspring. The guilt I feel over these feelings is immense.
Is there anyone out there that feels anything close to this? Tell me I'm not going mad... please!

When Nancy Spain died in a plane crash in 1964, aged 47, with her partner, Joan Werner Laurie – the founding editor of She magazine – she was at the height of a brilliant media career that began as a cub sports reporter in her hometown of Newcastle in the 1930s.
The most famous female all-media celebrity of the time, the Roedean-educated great-niece of Mrs Isabella Beeton was a seasoned journalist and author – with over 10 camp and frothy crime novels to her name, as well as biographies, children's fiction and the best-selling Nancy Spain Colour Cook Book.
The self-dubbed 'trouser-wearing character' was equally popular in radio and TV, quickly becoming an established panellist on My Word (with Frank Muir and Denis Norden), Juke Box Jury and What's My Line? as well as regular lively contributor to Woman's Hour.
Her famous friends included Noel Coward, Tony Warren, Alan 'Fluff" Freeman, David Jacobs, Lord Beaverbrook and Hermoine Gingold; her lovers, Marlene Dietrich, Ginette Spanier and Lena Horne. She was sued by Evelyn Waugh, impersonated by Peter Sellers and 'engaged' to her great friend, Gilbert Harding, the most famous man on British television in the 1950s.
In this revealing biography, Rose Collis rediscovers Nancy Spain's public and private life and therein creates an account of an exceptional woman – and the shocking (and ultimately tragic) secret she kept from her public, even after her untimely death.

What ever happened to the standard seven?
Herewith, your official cocktail-party fodder, compliments of Tango:
According to The Korea Times, the majority of married individuals succumb to the three-year itch, as opposed to the Western, um, "philosophy" of seven.
In addition, what drives Korean couples to divorce court the quickest? "Family conflict" wins with an average marriage of 3.7 years. See! We knew those in-laws were nothing but trouble…Financial stress takes second with marriages ending around 5.9 years.
Okay, we know, enough with the sad story. There's the upside: Head of the Korea Wedding Culture Research Center said that most couples try to sustain their marriages, work through their issues, and remain faithful—especially around that three-year anniversary.

* ''Comments'': Insanely good. It fleshes out the world of FFTA and is a great example of how DarkerAndEdgier can definitely be awesome. Side characters like Lini and Quinn receive a greater role, and we're not without canon heroes like Marche, Montblanc, and Ezel, but the real focus of the story is the FiveManBand of Isaac, Eileen, Jacqueline, Ben, and Maxwell, specifically Isaac. Don't let the OCs turn you off-everyone feels like they fit right in.
** Tropers/{{Baithin}}: Seconded. Easily the best ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' fanfic out there. [[TheHero Isaac]] is one badass moogle. But beware: AnyoneCanDie.
** Tropers/{{Montblanc}}: And thirded. I'm only on chapter 12, but I'm enjoying the story immensely so far. Their are two issues, however: spelling mistakes, and smirking. Everyone is always smirking. Smirk smirk smirk smirk. It makes me imagine that everyone in Ivalice is incredibly smug.
** Tropers/{{IJuggler}}: Fourthed. I've been keeping with this beast since around chapter 7, and not only is it the only reason I remember FFTA, it's my favourite fic out of any series. At around chapter 100 by now, and still going strong. [[AnyoneCanDie Anyone Can Die]] is right, because [[spoiler: all of the original [[FiveManBand Five Man Band]] have died, as well as a few other original characters.]]

Will Pete Rose's Tearful Apology Finally Get Him into the Hall of Fame?September 12, 2010
It's been over 20 years since Pete Rose last donned a Reds uniform, whether on the field or in the dugout.
Now, back in Cincinnati to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his record-setting 4,192nd hit on Saturday, Rose stood on the field, quiet and appreciative of the opportunity given to him by Major League Baseball, who granted him permission to return to a major league field for the first time since being banned from baseball.
Afterwards, at a roast celebrating his life and legacy, Rose took a distinctly contrite tone:
"I disrespected the game of baseball. When you do that, you disrespect your teammates, the game, and your family. I guarantee everybody in this room, I will never disrespect you again.
"You can talk about hits and runs and championship games.... [But] I want my legacy to be [that of] somebody who came forward. If anybody has a problem here today, come forward. Don't hide it.... You can run, but you can't hide. If I can help a young kid to know what I went through, maybe I can prevent them from going through the same thing.
"I got suspended 21 years ago. For 10-12 years, I kept it inside.... That's changed. I'm a different guy.... I love the fans, I love the game of baseball, and I love Cincinnati baseball."
In front of former teammates Tony Perez, Tim Browning, Cesar Geronimo, George Foster, and Ken Griffey, Sr., Rose showed that he is truly sorry for the gambling scandal that turned one of baseball's greatest heroes into merely a discussion point. When Rose was banned from baseball, conversation turned from where the hit king ranked among the game's greats to where he would hold his next self-promotional autograph session.
However, for the first time since his exile from baseball, Rose appears truly sorry. His apology did not hold the same tone as previous ones. Rather than another lame dog attempt at reinstatement, this seems like a yearning for respect from his teammates and friends, to whom he apologized profusely.
So, that begs the question: Would a truly repentant Rose be reinstated?
Well, there is little doubt that Pete Rose is one of baseball's immortals. If his all-time hits and games played records are not enough, he also ranks sixth in runs, second in doubles, and, for you sabermetric folks, 45th in WAR for position players. So, there's little doubt that a reinstated Rose would be granted entrance to Cooperstown.
Many Hall of Famers have thrown their support to Rose, including Hank Aaron and former teammates Joe Morgan and Frank Robinson. Should he be reinstated, his candidacy would be voted upon by the Veterans Committee, which includes six Hall of Famers and five baseball historians.
It's not an absolute lock that he would get the necessary 75 percent for election. "I know there are still guys who feel strongly against him," said one Hall of Famer, "and I don't know if that would change even if [Bud] Selig clears him."
Still, Rose was banned for betting on baseball. In fact, he was betting on his own team. He did not bet against them, compromising the integrity of the game. Yes, what he did was illegal, and he deserved to be punished.
But by betting on his team to win, wasn't Rose just pushing himself harder as a manager? Wasn't he showing that he believed in his team, much like he did during his career, when his grit and hustle were unmatched around the league?
In front of a ballroom of around 500 people, Pete Rose showed that he has learned from his mistakes, and for once, I believed him.
"I didn't know what that meant," Rose said. "It took me years and years [to come to grips with it]. ... I'm a hardheaded guy. ... But I'm a lot better guy standing here tonight."
He personally asked forgiveness of each of his former teammates, all of whom were taken aback at the new Rose.
"Nice, nice," said Perez later. "I was crying. He finally got it off his chest."
"Out of left field," said Browning, shaking his head. "I didn't see it coming."
Standing on first base Saturday, surrounded by chants of "Hall of Fame," was a changed man. No longer the stubborn mule that denied gambling on the game was Pete Rose.
"I guarantee everybody in this room, I will never disrespect you again," Rose said.
When proven cheaters and criminals are allowed back into the game after a 50-game slap on the wrist, shouldn't a contrite, repentant man be given a second chance?

An ACO refers to a group of providers and suppliers of services (for example, hospitals, nurses, physicians, and others involved in patient care) that will work together to coordinate care for the Medicare beneficiaries they serve. To be eligible, the ACO must serve at least 5,000 Medicare patients and agree to participate in the program for three years.
The goal of an ACO is to deliver seamless, high quality, patient-centered care for Medicare beneficiaries instead of the fragmented care that has so often been part of fee-for-service health care. The Affordable Care Act specifies the groups of providers and suppliers that can form an ACO. That list includes "ACO professionals," who are defined as physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and physician assistants. (It is unfortunate that certified nurse-midwives were not included in this list.) Networks of individual practices of ACO professionals, partnerships, or joint venture arrangements between hospitals and ACO professionals, and hospitals employing ACO professionals can also form ACOs.
Read more on ACOs, and ANA comments to the proposed rule on how ACOs would operate.

Everlasting Light in the Darkness
(Note: I wrote this shortly after the Utah mine cave-in during early August. It seems there has been an increasing number of cave-ins lately. I ache for the lost men in Utah and around the world. I have the utmost compassion and respect for the families of miners trapped.)
Where am I? It�s so dark. What happened? I hurt. Oh, the cave in. I remember now.
�George�.? Tom �? Bill �?�
�Here, I�m here,� George responds weakly.
�George, it�s me, Larry. Are you okay?�
�No, I�m really hurt. I don�t think I�ll make it much longer. You?�
�I�m hurt bad, too. Can�t move my legs.� We are silent for a moment as we catch our breath. �Is anyone else hurt?�
No answer. I search for my miner�s hat. Finding it, I turn on the light. The other miners are nearby. Silent. Tony moans, gasping as he wakes. The others awaken also, moaning or gasping in pain. I want to help, but cannot move my legs. They are buried under rocks.
One by one, we turn on our miner�s hats and survey our situation. There is silence as the absolute aloneness closes in on us.
�Larry,� Tony calls weakly. �Tell me again about Jesus.�
In my heart, I believe we will all die here. I sing every week at church, so I decide to sing now, half a mile below the earth�s surface.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I�m found
Was blind, but now I see.
Michael and Bill join in, so very weakly, yet with purpose. We can only sing a few words at a time, as the pain is nearly unbearable.
Tony�s cries are heard. �I need your Jesus,� he whispers, �but it�s too late. I can�t do anything good.�
�It�s never too late.� I tell him about Paul and the thief on the cross. I tell him about the prodigal son. Tony repents of his sins and gives his heart to Christ. Bill grasps his hand and calls him, �brother.�
�Oh, the sweet sight of our Lord,� says Bill. �He comes now.� I mourn at losing two of my friends, but I know I will see both of them soon.
George laments, �We�re all gonna die here. I�m so afraid.�
Tom says, �hey, buddy, quit. Even now, they search and will find us any moment.�
�But we ran deeper into the cave and took an uncharted path. They won�t find us.� George was always the pessimist.
Michael is groaning. �Hey, I�m about done here. I�m glad I worked with each of you. Larry, thanks for sharing your faith all these years. I know I�ve been quiet about my faith, but I trust in Christ � and have for several years.� He pauses as he gasps for breath. �If any of you make it, tell my wife to stay true to God.� Michael gives a deep sigh and is completely silent.
�Is he dead, too? I knew it � we�re going to die here.� George is spitting out angry words between short breaths of pain.
�George, calm down. The rescuers are coming.�
All is quiet for what seems like hours. Our helmets, like our hope of being found alive, are dimming.
Tom says, �If they don�t come soon, we are doomed and beyond rescue.�
�The One Who can rescue is nearby,� I say with firmness.
�You mean Jesus?� Tom scoffed. �How can he rescue us?�
�He seeks the lost. He rescues and He saves. He saved Daniel from the lions. He can, and will, save you.�
George said, �you mean all I have to do is trust in Him? Then what?�
�He will give you a peace beyond understanding and life eternal with Him. Without Him, it would be like being alone in here for eternity � no light, no food, no companionship.�
�I�m afraid to be alone and I hate the darkness. Help me find Jesus.� George speaks with an earnestness I had never heard before.
�Ask Him to come into your heart. Tell Him you want and need Him.�
�Jesus, I don�t know how to talk to You, but I�m scared. I know I need You. Will You help me?� George continued to talk, too low to be heard by us. But Jesus heard. �Oh, my Lord and my God,� George proclaimed loudly. In the silence that followed, I knew that George was now in the Lord�s presence.
Now, only Tom and I are left in the deep darkness of the mine.
Tom was still skeptical. �if God is so good, why are we dying one by one? It�s been hours, or maybe days, and there is no sound from above.�
�Perhaps, like so many people, they are looking in the wrong place.�
�What do you mean?�
�In life, we search everywhere to fill a void that cannot be satisfied with things. Money, houses, cars � they give us a temporary happiness. In our hearts is a hole that can be filled only by God.�
Tom�s voice was weakening as his body was succumbing to its injuries. �I�m gonna die soon.�
�In death, there is life,� I say. �We came into this world with nothing. We can leave the same way, or we can fall into the everlasting arms of Jesus.� I begin to sing:
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
It is difficult to sing, but I know I must complete this verse.
Tom sort of laughs. �If I don�t accept Him, I die and the pain is gone. What�s the difference?�
�God tells us that hell is real. Those in hell live a life of perpetual physical pain for all eternity.�
�So if I call upon Him, I won�t have pain? Sounds like a good trade-off.�
�It�s not quite that simple. You need to honestly yield to Christ, not just because you don�t want pain. Accepting Him to prevent something � well, no, you need Him because He is our Creator, our Sustainer, and because He loves us so much He gave His only Son to die for our sins.�
�Tell me about that verse.�
�When Adam and Eve sinned, a chasm was formed between God and man. We cannot cross it by our own merit or strength, but only on Christ. As Jesus stretched out His arms on the cross, He built a bridge across that chasm. A bridge we can stand on and cross to Him. Even more, though, He rose from the dead to show us that He is a living God.�
�I�ve never heard it explained like that. Tell me more.�
�We are all sinners and cannot come to Him except by His grace and mercy. Our works cannot get us into Heaven. This is so we cannot boast of what we did, but rather on what Christ did. Nothing we can do � plead or pay money, can get us into Heaven. Only a truly repentant heart, eager and ready to be renewed by the blood of Christ, can join Him in eternal glory.�
I could barely speak, as my chest was beginning to hurt more and more.
Tom whispered, �So in hell I would know that I am separated from the One Who loves me that much? I would have the pain of loneliness and rejection for eternity?�
�Yes, that�s right. Yet it�s never too late to change.�
�I always thought I had to do good things to get to heaven. Now you explain that I just have to trust Jesus.�
�Exactly. Accept Him. He waits for you.�
The silence lengthened while our lamps dimmed, going out one by one. Slowly, complete darkness overtook us. �I can�t see,� Tom said.
�Our lights have failed, but the Eternal Light waits for you.�
In the silence, I can hear Tom�s raspy breathing. Suddenly, he calls, �Jesus, rescue me. I don�t want to live alone in the darkness. Help me, Jesus.� Tom laughs unexpectedly. �It�s true, Larry. All you�ve told me is true! I�m no longer alone. Thank you, Larry. Oh, thank you, Jesus!�
I am left alone in the absolute darkness. I�m the last one alive. My body reminds me of its fatal injuries. I hurt in places I didn�t know I had. Yet I feel a peace come upon me, with a calmness unlike anything I�ve ever felt. In the darkness, I listen to the quietness. The hours, or days, pass. I sing and pray. �When will You take me home, Lord? I�m ready. It�s so dark in here and I�m cold.�
The numbness is setting in so I don�t feel the pain.
I wish I could say goodbye to my wife and children.
�Lord, give them peace. They know You and follow You. Keep them comforted in the knowledge that You are real. Let them feel Your presence every day.�
I�ve never known such absolute darkness. I see a pinpoint of light. It�s so bright, but why isn�t it hurting my eyes? The light is coming closer and I can only stare at it, unable to move. I seem to float from the floor and rise, awed by the beauty and brilliance of this Light. It�s my Lord and He has come to take me home. I cannot help but glance back and see six bodies on the ground. I turn to Christ. He says, �Come, they all await you, my good and faithful servant.�
Psalm 18:19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

We strongly believe that learning from fun and challenging material presented in context is the fastest way to proficiency in Japanese.
Over the years while studying Japanese, one of the biggest realisations I had was that most of my real learning was done outside the classroom. The stuff I came across in textbooks, while useful for providing the fundamentals, didn't give me the practical advantages needed in day-to-day life.
Once I had mastered basic grammar and a core set of vocabulary from my Japanese course, my wise teacher threw nothing but unedited, raw language at me. It hurt. A lot. I vividly remember the headaches and my confidence faltering. But in hindsight, that period of my learning was the most fruitful and empowering of all. I grew like I never had before.
By throwing yourself head-first into native-level content, you give your brain a mighty kick-start. It will likely be a shock to the system at first; you may want to give up at times and grind your teeth in frustration, but just remember that such frustration is an indication of your progress. It really is the case that we grow as people after encountering and overcoming difficulties, so we'll be here to support and motivate you every step of the way!
We also truly feel that in order to improve at a language, you must enjoy learning it. That doesn't mean that every day will be magical, but the content has to engage you and keep you interested. We write commentary and explanations with this in mind, injecting little bits of humour and cultural background to keep you hungry for more.

After a fire marshall pleaded guilty to embezzling from the union for California's Rancho Adobe Fire Protection District, an emergency accounts payable audit of the department's financial procedures was launched, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
Michael Scott Bechtold was arrested last month for misappropriating more than $63,000 of union funds. He wrote 45 unauthorized checks to himself from the union's checking account and used the majority of the money to compensate a divorce attorney and pay child support.
The AP audit found that the department's funds had not been compromised. However, Rancho Adobe fire chief Frank Treanor noted that some of its financial processes needed to be tightened.
"Could improvements be made to the system? Sure, they could," Treanor told the news source. "The fact is that we have identified them and we are going to make them."
Specifically, more checks and balances will be introduced to bolster the city's accounts payable and payroll operations.
Elsewhere in the country, Mildred Higgins, the former treasurer of a Vermont volunteer fire department, was recently sentenced for embezzling more than $11,000, the Burlington Free Press reports.

The InterLiga is a football competition between Mexican clubs to determine qualifying spots in South America's premier club competition, the Copa Libertadores. The InterLiga began in 2004 when Mexico was granted 2 automatic entries to the Copa Libertadores for the 1st time. For neutrality and to maximize income, all matches are held in the USA in January, during the off-season of the Mexican Primera División. The 8 qualifying clubs are selected based on their combined results in the Apertura and Clausura phases of the Primera División, and divided into 2 groups of 4. The Mexican league champions are excluded from InterLiga as they must play in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, which comes into scheduling conflict with Copa Libertadores.

DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Darlington Raceway's long-term prospects just got brighter.
Track officials say they've gotten go-ahead to install a lighting system that would be ready for testing by early fall 2004. An official announcement is expected Thursday.
"This just adds to the long list of exciting announcements made by Darlington this summer," track president Andrew Gurtis told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday.
Two months ago, the "Track Too Tough To Tame," found out it was losing its Labor Day weekend date for the Southern 500 in realignment to California Speedway. But the 53-year-old facility retained two NASCAR race weekends on next year's schedule.
Last month, the track rechristened its expanded its museum and National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame.
"It's been a busy summer," Gurtis said. "But all of them are just a testament to Darlington's position in NASCAR" in the future.
Gurtis would not say if the 2004's fall race, scheduled for Nov. 14, would be the old country track's first night event. He would not talk about how much lighting the track now might cost or other details of the project.
"For about 12 months we're going to have a lot of construction workers running around, he said.
The idea for night racing at Darlington was first discussed publicly by NASCAR's chief spokesman - and then the raceway's president - Jim Hunter way back in 1999.
Hunter put a $2.9 million plan before track owner International Speedway Corp. to light up NASCAR's oldest speedway.
Hunter is thrilled his idea will finally see the light. He said from his Daytona Beach, Fla., office Wednesday evening that he told former NASCAR star David Pearson that one of his favorite tracks - Pearson is Darlington's all-time winner with 10 victories - was getting lights.
"Boy," Pearson told Hunter, "that's going to be something."
That's an understatement.
Darlington's 1.366-mile oval is one of the trickiest and nastiest on the circuit. It's misshapen corner coming out of turn two has long separated the best racers from the rest of the pack. It's no accident its biggest winners - Pearson, the late Dale Earnhardt (9 wins), Jeff Gordon (6) - have dominated the sport.
"As tough as it is in the daytime, it's going to be even tougher at night," Hunter said. "The whole atmosphere will change. It will really make a difference and make the races more exciting."
Darlington was called out by NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. as a track whose two-race-a-year future was in question because of its troubled history of selling seats. Despite NASCAR's two stops there in 2004, there was no guarantee for anything beyond.
Could lights keep the track glowing two years from now?
"I don't think (International Speedway Corp.) would invest in the lights if they didn't think there was a future at Darlington," Hunter said. "I just hope the fans come out and support it."

Now that I got to see the episode in action, I can't really say I'm impressed. The battle could have been so much better, but all the action seemed... off. Perhaps it was this episode's animation team, but my god. Everything seemed slightly misshapened, not enough to be blantantly obvious, but still enough to see... not right. I do enjoy the fact that Sceptile kicked that fire chicken's butt, and I will insist that only plot forced it into Overgrow. That, or those Blaze Kicks hurt a lot more than it seemed.
Like I said before, I'm glad Sceptile started using that bush of his, but it just seemed so rigid.

Settings global and not per input?
One of the things I took for granted doesn't seem to work as expected, separate settings for each of the inputs (HDMI 1, 2, ...) and antenna (DVB-T). All picture, format, sound settings seem to be global?
You have to be able to differ a calibrated high definition HDMI input from TV settings or the picture will be very bad for TV.
Am I missing something or are settings global for all inputs??? Sharpness, colour, etc are not the same at all for various inputs. You must be able to use different settings for each input.
After calibrating HDMI 1 for a couple of hours I noticed that the same settings were used on all inputs.
Separate settings for each of the inputs is something every TV set I've used the last 5-6 years have had (this is the first Philips, 55PFL8008S/12, I've used).

Inflammation of the oesophagus is called esophagitis. The main reason for esophagitis is the back flow of food from the stomach to the mouth, which can be caused by autoimmune disorder or gastroesophageal reflux.
There are mainly two types of esophagitis: erosive and reflux. Erosive esophagitis is one of the commonest form of esophagitis, which can be caused by the taking some chemicals that causes inflammation in the esophagus and in such cases, immediately after you swallow a harmful or allergic substance, severe pain is felt on the esophagus.
Causes, symptoms and treatments of different types of esophagitis
Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD): It is caused by the poor functioning of the lower esophageal muscles.
Common causes for GERD
1. Excessive vomiting
2. Heartburn
3. Problem in swallowing food
4. Burning sensation on throat
5. Bleeding in vomit or stool
6. Throat pain
7. Sensation of food on the throat or neck pipe
Treatment: Drugs and H2 blockers are used to treat acid reflux.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis: It is a problem in which, the eosinophills are elevated causing problems in swallowing food. Other symptoms of Eosinophilic esophagitis are diarrhoea, heartburn, chest pain and vomiting.
Chemical Reasons for Esophagitis: There are some medicines, which may cause burns in throat causing esophagitis such as aspirin, ibrufen, iron supplements, de-oxycycline (which is an antibiotic), and alendronate (used for abnormal heart rhythms).
Medical causes for Esophagitis
1. It can be caused, when a person is suffering from HIV.
2. After organ transplant, Esophagitis may be caused.
3. Patients when treated with chemotherapy may suffer from Esophagitis.
4. Prolong use of steroids; prednisone and corticosteroids may cause Esophagitis.
5. People suffering from allergies, asthma, eczema or rhinitis may suffer from eosinophili esophagitis.
Candida esophagitis: It is caused by fungal infection in which the patient suffers from yeast infection caused by Candida and the problem may further increase if you suffer from diabetes or chronic health problems, such as AIDS or leukaemia, which suppresses the immune system.
The common symptoms of Candida esophagitis are oral thrush, fever and pain in swallowing food.
Treatment: Anti fungal medicines can treat Candida esophagitis.
Herpes esophagitis: The problem causes ulcers and inflammation in esophagus, and it is caused by viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus. The patient suffers from fevers, joint pains, chills and mouth herpes. Anti biotic can be used for treating Herpes esophagitis.
Cytomegalovirus esophagitis: It is caused by viral infection of virus - cytomegalovirus and the common symptoms are fever, pain in swallowing food and mouth sores.
Treatment: The treatment depends on the cause of the infections. If the patient suffers from some kind of bacterial or viral infection – antibiotics will be used to treat the problem but if the patient suffers from reflex, certain medicines are used to reduce acids. Drinking water helps in reducing esophagitis.
Some other common treatments are
1. Stop eating spicy food and food immediately before going to sleep.
2. Stop the use of alcohol or cigarette
3. Limit your caffeine intake
4. Reduce intake of high fat food

Earnshaw scores twice, Toronto FC top Sporting KC
Earnshaw scores twice, Toronto FC top Sporting KCToronto FC's Robert Earnshaw scores from the penalty spot against Sporting Kansas City during first half MLS soccer action in Toronto on Saturday, March 9, 2013. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Chris Young)
TORONTO (AP) -- Robert Earnshaw scored twice and Toronto FC snapped a 15-game MLS winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday.
Kansas City finished 40 points ahead of Toronto last season but came out sluggish, just as it had done the previous week before rallying to defeat Philadelphia 3-1.
The second half was a different story but Toronto weathered the storm until the 77th minute, when Argentine striker Claudio Bieler, taking to a flick-on header from C.J. Sapong, fired a right-footed shot past Joe Bendik to cut the lead to 2-1.
It was a nail-biting finish as Kansas City stormed the Toronto end and Bendik made a fine reflex save off Bieler in the dying minutes to preserve the victory. They then had to endure five minutes of stoppage time during which Graham Zusi fired a shot over the Toronto crossbar.
Bendik also had to parry a Zusi free kick with time running down. Zusi had one more dead ball chance but KC couldn't capitalize.

BOSTON (WWLP) – Funding for the environment makes up just 0.6% of the state budget, equaling about $200 million in fiscal year 2014. Environmental advocates say that the budget cuts not only affect the great outdoors, but it also impacts people.
Environmental League of Massachusetts Erica Mattison said, "They impact the quality of the parks in their area and the kinds of experiences they're able to have outdoors, but it also really comes down to jobs."
The league wants at least 1% of the state's budget in the next fiscal year, which they say will more generate jobs and a better economy.
"For every dollar we put into land protection the state gets back $4. For every dollar we put into aquatic restoration, making healthy rivers and streams we get back $12," said Steve Long of Nature Conservancy of Massachusetts.
Environmental advocates say that increasing funding now will better benefit the state in the long run.
"Most importantly it always costs a lot more money later to clean up after the fact. By investing in the environment it is the way we're ultimately going to save money," said former Secretary of Environmental Affairs, Trudy Coxe.
State funding for the environment has seen a 6% drop since 2008 resulting in a $13 million budget cut.

By Dr. Gregory Jantz, Ph.D.
Depression has reached truly epidemic levels around the globe, with more people everyday falling victim to its effects. According to MentalHealthAmerica.net, depression "affects more than 19 million Americans every year, regardless of age, race, or gender." A severely debilitating mental illness for millions of sufferers all around the world, depression has claimed many lives. Some who suffer from depression choose to take anti-depressant medication to combat their symptoms, while others feel that the side-effects related to the medication will only add to their difficulties coping with the problem in the long run.
Similar to many other serious and long-lasting issues that affect one's mental and/or physical wellbeing, there is unfortunately no "quick-fix" to help a sufferer tolerate their symptoms. However, one of the many useful ways to deal with depression finds it roots in staying healthy, active, and exercising on a regular basis. In fact, a Harvard study dating back to 1981 stated that "regular exercise can improve mood in people with mild to moderate depression. It also may play a supporting role in treating severe depression."
The ADAA (Anxiety & Depression Association of America) says that exercise is "vital for maintaining mental fitness and it can reduce stress. Studies show that it is very effective at reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration, and at enhancing overall cognitive function." Although many people who suffer from depression will suffer from a lack of energy or drive to work out, the key is to start small and then gradually augment the amount of exercise you do over time.
Regardless of your age or amount of experience when it comes to different forms of exercise, one way to ease the symptoms of depression is to go on a walk. Since walking does not require you to exercise to excess or in any way tire yourself out, a leisurely, undemanding walk is perfect for anyone who is not particularly conversant (or enthusiastic) about the notion of exercising or visiting a gym. Walking is ideal since it gets you off the couch and out into the fresh air, as well as helping you to take that all-important first step on the road to leading an active life; each walk can be as slow and unchallenging or as fast and furious as you want, and you can always start off slowly and then progressively increase your pace as your levels of enjoyment rise.
Another benefit to going walking is that it makes you go out into your community, which means you will see things you have never seen before if you have been reticent to explore your nearby surroundings. Seeing new neighborhoods or communal park areas will pull focus away from your symptoms; any form of exercise can help to ease depression because, at its very core, you are busy distracting yourself. A simple walk can stop you from thinking about the negative feelings that systematically haunt you, and exercise in general can help you "lose" your feelings of unhappiness. In effect, simply going for a walk or doing a workout at the gym can help build self-confidence while also interrupting your negative thought processes.
During extended periods of physical activity, your body releases endorphins that help to alleviate symptoms of depression. Other than walking, these types of exercise can include jogging, running, swimming, aerobics, bicycling, yoga and, for those who already enjoy going to the gym, a weight-lifting session can be highly effective. The Mayo Clinic says that "30 minutes or more of exercise a day for three to five days a week can significantly improve depression symptoms." Resistance training can also help reduce depression-related symptoms.
Working out helps to tire your body; this also means that the probability of you being able to fall asleep is much more likely. This is especially important to sufferers who notice that they begin experiencing symptoms of depression when they fall asleep. Whenever possible, get at least seven solid hours of sleep, and always follow a fixed sleeping pattern that you do not deviate from. Always keep your bedroom as cool and silent as possible, and try to eliminate bothersome distractions that impede you from visiting dreamland. As a final point, eat well-balanced meals and never overindulge when it comes to fast food, candy, alcohol or caffeine.
As TheDoctorWillSeeYouNow.com states, depression "affects about 10% of all people at one time or another," so it is essential that you do whatever is at your disposal to fight the serious symptoms that can begin to occupy or overwhelm your state of mind. As such, the power of exercise and keeping fit should never be undervalued, since it can help boost your mood as well as also keeping you feeling both motivated and optimistic about the future.

PEORIA, Ariz.
— Colorado Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez has been scratched from his scheduled start against San Diego because of a nail infection on his pitching hand.
Jimenez had been slated to make his second start of the spring Wednesday. A team official said the right-hander had been treated and was feeling OK.
The Rockies haven't decided when Jimenez will pitch again. He made his Cactus League debut Saturday, throwing two scoreless innings against Arizona.
Jimenez finished 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA in 33 starts and was an All-Star for Colorado last season.
He also threw the first no-hitter in Rockies history on April 17 and finished third in voting for the NL Cy Young Award.
(This version corrects that it would not have been Jimenez's spring debut)
