In May 1947, Frank C. Sullivan founded Republic Powdered Metals, the forerunner to RPM International Inc. The company manufactured and sold a heavy-duty aluminum roof coating called Alumanation, which is still sold today. Sales in the first year reached $90,000. From the beginning Sullivan determined that the success of the business would rest with its people. "Hire the best people you can find," he said. "Create an atmosphere that will keep them. Then, let them do their jobs." RPM operates under this same philosophy today. Every year under his leadership, the company attained sales and earnings increases
In August 1971, Frank Sullivan died suddenly. Later that same year, RPM, Inc. was formed to develop a more aggressive acquisition program in a rapidly consolidating paint and coatings industry. Frank's son, Thomas C. Sullivan, who was previously president of Republic Powdered Metals, became chairman and chief executive officer RPM, Inc.. He and James A. Karman, who was elected president and chief operating officer in 1978, led RPM for more than three decades.
After more than 30 years at the company's helm, Sullivan and Karman retired as executive officers of the company in 2002. During their tenure, net sales increased to $2 billion from $11 million, net income increased to $101.6 million from $0.6 million, cash dividends per share increased to $0.50 from $0.0035 (split-adjusted), and a $1,000 investment in RPM shares in 1971 would have been worth more than $100,000.
Tom was succeeded by his son, Frank C. Sullivan, who became president and chief executive officer in 2002. He has continued to lead the company in a manner consistent with the legacy created by his father and grandfather before him. RPM's strategy for growth is to: conduct a strategic acquisition program, pioneer cutting-edge product innovations, promote a culture of collaboration among its operating companies, expand its global footprint, and drive continuous improvement and operational excellence across its business segments.

Susan Walsh / AP
Barry Cadden, president and co-owner of the New England Compounding Center, shown being sworn at a House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee hearing on Nov. 14, took the fifth and refused to testify.
The owner of a pharmacy at the center of an outbreak of fungal meningitis caused by contaminated pain drugs that have killed 32 people and made 461 people sick refused to testify at a packed hearing on Wednesday, and managed to avoid facing the family of his first victim.
Barry Cadden, president, co-owner and director of pharmacy for the New England Compounding Center, remained in a separate room with his lawyers while the wife of his first victim testified, then managed to avoid her in the hallway as she left the committee room. He took the fifth, invoking his constitutional rights not to testify -- even when asked whether he was the owner of the pharmacy.
Robbed of a chance to confront Cadden, members of the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee instead spent hours berating the Food and Drug Administration. Despite their outrage over the growing toll from the outbreak, Republican members of the committee made it clear they are not ready to change any legislation just yet.
"We will be living with this nightmare for ages to come," Joyce Lovelace of Albany, Ky., whose husband, Eddie, was the first person to die in the outbreak of fungal meningitis traced to the pharmacy, told the hearing.
"We now know that New England Compounding Pharmacy Inc. killed Eddie. I have lost my soul-mate and life's partner with whom I worked side by side, day after day for more than 50 years," said Lovelace, her voice cracking as she testified.
"It was not an easy death that we witnessed," she added.
Lovelace said her husband, a 78-year-old judge, had been healthy and active before the spinal injections that killed him.
"I am asking this committee to find out how and why this happened and to plug the loopholes that allow these industries to escape meaningful inspection," Lovelace said.
"I would ask that you inquire how such a product became so widely distributed. Why did so many medical providers purchase this product from unregulated or poorly regulated sources? Don't just investigate. Instead, legislate and regulate."
Cadden and his lawyers waited until Lovelace, who uses a wheelchair, was wheeled out of sight before they entered the committee room. He immediately made it clear he wouldn't testify. "Will you invoke your Fifth Amendment rights to all questions today?" Rep. Cliff Stearns, the Florida Republican who chairs the panel, asked Cadden. "Yes," Cadden replied. Stearns then excused him.
Two top regulators then faced the frustrated panel for more than two hours.
If Congress doesn't strengthen legislation, another similar tragedy is inevitable, said FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg. "If we fail to act, this type of incident will happen again. It is a matter of when, not if," she said.
But committee members said the FDA and Massachusetts state regulators both knew as far back as 2002 that there were problems at the pharmacy, which distributed more than 17,000 doses from contaminated lots of steroids. Yet they failed to take forceful enough action, members said.
"This is a complete and utter failure on the part of your agency," Stearns told Hamburg.
Congress holds hearings on the multi-state outbreak of fungal meningitis traced to the New England Compounding Center. NBC's Erika Edwards reports.
"This one of the worst public health disasters ever caused by a contaminated drug in this country," added Stearns, a Republican who chairs the oversight subcommittee.
"After a tragedy like this the first question we all ask is 'Could this have been prevented?'" Stearns added. "After an examination of documents produced by the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the answer here appears to be, 'Yes.'"
An Energy and Commerce Committee report noted that the FDA and the Massachusetts state board of pharmacy both repeatedly visited NECC and found problems. But the strongest action that anyone took was a warning letter issued by FDA in 2006.
"You can take a regulator to a problem but you can't make him regulate," said Rep. Joe Barton of Texas. "It's an absolute tragedy without any question that 32 people have died."
Hamburg said the agency doesn't have the authority to regulate compounding pharmacies in the way it does drug manufacturers. Legislation passed in 1997 was never enforced after the Supreme Court found part of it unconstitutional because it banned compounding pharmacies from advertising.
Compounding pharmacies are supposed to mix drugs to order based on specific prescriptions, and FDA and the Massachusetts regulators both knew that NECC was mass-producing and distributing drugs without individual prescriptions. Hamburg confirmed FDA teams found unsanitary conditions at NECC as far back as 2002.
"Throughout this time NECC has repeatedly disputed FDA's jurisdiction over its facility," she said. "The agency has struggled with how to chart an effective course to protect public health."
She said there are thousands more compounding pharmacies like NECC. "The industry has evolved well beyond the neighborhood pharmacy."
Dr. Lauren Smith, who is interim commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, said pharmacy board members who failed to act against NECC had been fired. James Coffey, director of the state's pharmacy board, was dismissed earlier this month.
Smith also said the state had issued emergency regulations to deal with NECC and its sister pharmacy, Ameridose, which was licensed to mass-distribute medical supplies. Sterility problems were also found there, although no infections have been linked to that firm.
"As we work to raise standards in Massachusetts, we urge Congress to act to strengthen federal oversight. It is clear that the patchwork of disparate state regulations is not enough to keep the public safe," Smith said.
California Democrat Henry Waxman urged his fellow panel members to get legislation written quickly, even though Congress is expected to do little between now and the end of the year, with the notable exception of budget negotiations. "Let's not lose sight of the wrongdoing as we go around blaming the regulators," he said. "I think we want to work during this lame duck session to pass bipartisan legislation," he added.
"We need to correct the law and we need to do it before we leave at the end of this year."
But Republicans said they were not convinced new legislation was really needed. Stearns said it was "incomprehensible" that the FDA didn't act even though it was aware that NECC was working on a scale far beyond its license in 2002.
"If they didn't exercise the authority they already had, new authority isn't going to solve the problem," said Michael Burgess, a Republican from Texas.
Waxman accused his colleagues of playing politics. "I have a feeling, Dr. Hamburg, that you are being picked on because you are a member of the Obama administration," he said.

I have a simple 5 year old stove with 4 burners. Recently the light came on while cooking (burner sensor light), but has yet to turn off. It's an electric stove.
Is the light broken and needs repair? Or is there something worse happening (electricity is still being fed but the burners don't heat up?).
What are the first ways to start figuring out this problem?

Perhaps realizing that there is no hope on the Ayers issue, the Obama campaign began its strategic retreat today. They trotted out a local ally in the Chicago school wars, Linda Lenz, to begin the effort. Her job: admit finally that, in fact, there was some kind of relationship between Ayers and Obama after all but "it ain't no big thang."
We'll see if this helps or only fans the flames.
I posted a reply on the Sun Times website:
Perhaps the editors of the Sun Times should feel "a little silly" about inviting Ms. Lenz to pen an editorial defending a former terrorist without identifying her fully.
Ms. Lenz is associated with the Alliance for Excellent Education on whose board sits Obama education advisor Linda Darling-Hammond. And on Ms. Lenz' board of directors at the Community Renewal Society is Warren Chapman, one of the founders of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and a former staff member of the Joyce Foundation on whose board served Barack Obama.
While Ms. Lenz brushes over the self-proclaimed "radical" nature of school reform in Chicago she also ignores the fact that a central goal of the Annenberg Challenge led by Ayers and Obama was to bolster flagging Local School Councils, a new power center in the schools set up in the wake of a teachers strike to watchdog teachers and principals.
And although in a recent talk she gave she lauds the research conducted by the Consortium on Chicago School Research of the University of Chicago, she ignores their studied conclusion that the Annenberg Challenge was a failure. $160,000,000 down the drain and no improvement in student outcomes.
No wonder the Mayor pushed against Ayers and Obama to re-centralize power over the schools, although that was no comfort to the teachers union.
Oh, at least Ms. Lenz gets one thing right: Ayers was indeed not "just some guy in the neighborhood" as Senator Obama attempted to mislead the American people into thinking. Given the failure of the Annenberg Challenge and the authoritarian outlook that a former terrorist brought to the reform effort, no wonder he made the attempt.
More great background on Lenz has been dug up by Real Barack Obama. These serve to emphasize the point I made about her fundamental lack of objectivity when it comes to Bill Ayers, Barack Obama and the legacy of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

New York, NY (December 17, 2013) – Getting mileage out of used cars by donating to charity may still be possible as 2013 winds down. The National Kidney Foundation (NKF), which has been running Kidney Cars, the oldest vehicle donation program in the nation for nearly three decades, offers some pointers for would-be car donors on current tax law* and charity selection.
The Current Tax Laws for Noncash Donations
Noncash donations must be of value to the organization. People seeking to donate items that they no longer have use for cannot receive a tax deduction unless the charity can monetize the gift in a significant way.
Donated cars are an example of a noncash gift that in most cases, offers value to charities. Used car are often sold at dealer-only auctions. Deductions based on "fair market price" listed in publications such as the Kelley Blue Book, regardless of whether the car sold for much less, are a thing of the distant past. The auction sale price determines the tax deduction amount if a car sells for more than $500. If a car sells for less than $500, then the taxpayer would deduct the fair market price or the auction price—whichever figure is smaller. Charities are required to provide receipts to donors with exact amounts for which the car sold, so there's no research involved on the donor's part and no risk of accidentally taking a deduction that's too large.
Giving Wisely
Selecting the right charity is the key to a win-win donation experience. Responsible and credible organizations will make the effort to sell a vehicle for the highest value possible. It is in their best interest to conduct auctions successfully in order to meet their fundraising goals.
When making this selection, donors should pay attention to a number of factors, including the following:
The organization should be a certified nonprofit. Some groups may accept charitable donations, but not all are necessarily nonprofit by a legal definition. To qualify for a tax-deductible donation, choose an organization that has a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status granted by the IRS. NKF is a 501(c)(3), so all contributions to Kidney Cars are tax-deductible.
Second, the charity should be fiscally responsible and most of the funds raised should go directly to programs. Some organizations may keep an exorbitant percentage of the auction's earnings for administrative and marketing costs—sometimes between 50 to 90 percent. There are organizations that donate 90 percent of the money raised through their car donation program to charity, but the charity uses half of that 90 percent for administrative costs. The NKF, on the other hand, designates nearly 80 percent of the proceeds directly to its mission. In almost three decades, Kidney Cars has received more than 700,000 used cars that have pumped $160 million into NKF programs including patient services, advocacy, education and research.
The Other Advantages of Charitable Vehicle Donations
In addition to the possible tax deduction, there are other benefits to vehicle donation. It relieves the financial burden of registration fees, insurance and taxes, is a convenient way to get rid of an unwanted car and is environmentally-friendly. This is especially true when donating to Kidney Cars since NKF offers free pick-up service and drop-off locations in major metropolitan areas across the U.S. and sells all cars at auction or for parts.
The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families and tens of millions of Americans at risk.

***This post is mostly for my memories, and to share with Archer someday when he is a daddy and dealing with his child's sleep training!***
We started our sleep training journey with Archer tonight. He is 7 months now and we felt it was time. Past time, really. We have been co-sleeping (or "attachment parenting" for those hip, well-read parents) since he was born. It was more a survival technique than a choice. Around the time of his birth, we had a lot happen in our family that was emotionally and physically exhausting. We had some serious health issues with some family members just prior to his birth, then two days after his birth, Cole's mom and step-dad were in a near fatal car accident. Then Christmas. Then Ava started school shortly after the new year. Things were just chaotic and life was in a bit of an upheaval. So we let him co-sleep and nurse on demand. And nursing became his sleep prop. For those who aren't down with the lingo, a "sleep prop" is exactly what it sounds like- something they need to sleep. So needless to say, the past 7 months (and really, before that, too, since I was huge and pregnant) have not been the best for sleep.
Archer is a sweet happy baby. Unless he is not getting his way. And let me tell you, being in his crib is NOT his way! The boy hates his crib! But we just decided that was tough. He was going to have to learn to sleep there. We had been researching several sleep methods. I had read a few books when Ava was a baby but never really "followed" any one method. She turned out to be my easy baby! We talked to friends, polled facebook, read reviews...
In the end, there are really two main types of sleep training- Cry It Out (CIO) and Limited Cry ("No Cry"). The difference is obvious. One involves a lot of tears, the other not as many. There are a lot of parents who SWEAR by one method or another. Me? I think each child is different and therefore there probably isn't one method that works for every kid. I think you just have to know your child well enough to know what will work for them. When it came to Archer, we decided that a CIO method would work best. After polling facebook, a friend turned me onto Sleep Sense. It was the most concise and logical I have come across- after all, when you haven't had a full night's sleep in over 7 months, who has the energy to read a big fat book!?!?! Sleep Sense, much like nearly ALL sleep training methods, advocates a calming, quiet bedtime routine. Since Archer HATES bath time with a passion, our bedtime routine for him is this: diaper change, massage with lavender baby lotion, pjs, reading time, nursing/rocking, laying down while still awake but drowsy.
CIO just seemed to be the right fit for Archer, for several reasons:
1. His Age: At 7 months, Archer is in the prime age range for CIO according to sleep sense. His separation anxiety isn't in full swing yet, and he is old enough to self-soothe and learn to be content in his crib.
2. His Size: At over 20lbs, Archer is plenty big enough to sleep through the night without jeopardizing his health.
3. His Personality: Archer is stubborn. I mean STUBBORN. It is bad. And I have no idea where he gets it (wink wink). Because of this, I knew that any method that had a parent attempting to sit with the baby or rub backs, etc. would only make him angry. I know that with Archer (unlike Ava), the band aid is best being ripped off. Ava likes things slow. She liked to know that mommy was there and had me rub her back or shush her back to sleep. Archer- that kind of thing just makes him "dog slobberin' mad." So I knew that the Sleep Sense method of a good bedtime routine then CIO would be the best fit.
And so far, so good. It took him 54 minutes. He cried almost solid for 54 minutes before falling asleep. The average for the program is 45 minutes on the first night, so we didn't do too badly. My money was on 1 hour 35 minutes. So he did a LOT better than I expected!

As my birthday treat to you all, I am writing a review of what has been described by many as Randall's magnum opus, the comic that was nominated for a Hugo award, and is affectionately known by its fans as the One True Comic.
And since yesterday marks a quarter of a century since the day of my birth and subsequent circumcision, I thought the comic's title would be especially appropriate for the occasion. Yes, I am of course referring to:
Useful links:
- Time comic viewer (Geekwagon)
- Time comic viewer (mscha)
- Wikipedia article (includes plot summary)
- XKCD Time Wikia
- Explain xkcd (also includes script)
- The OTT (may God have mercy on your soul)
The Pacing
The Plot
The Plot Begins in Earnest
And to be fair, I do like the way the comic has of showing us what's been drawn on the ground.
There's a little more walking and speaking in
Inside they meet their translator, a long-haired lady who was named by fans as Rosetta. Her grasp of English is limited however, so her lines come out distorted and difficult to read.
If you're reading from Geekwagon, you might want to read the script. (Use explain xkcd if Wikia makes your browser cry.)
I can see what Randall is trying to do with this, yet it somehow makes the comic even less accessible to readers. Also, it gives the impression that her voice would be deep and booming, or possibly distorted by echoes. That's not a problem per se. I can always imagine her being voiced by Brian Blessed in the middle of St Paul's Cathedral.
Rosetta tells them this: the reason why the sea is overflowing is because there is another bigger sea (the Atlantic Ocean) that is flowing into it. This is actually something that could happen (and has happened before) when Africa and Europe join together, and the Mediterranean sea dries up leaving an inland 'sea' like the Dead Sea, and a lot of land below sea level. When the Straights of Gibraltar open up again, the Atlantic Ocean comes flooding back in and fills it all with seawater.
I'm not sure how long the return journey takes. Again it's implied to be days, but the comic skims over it in less than 100 panels. Along the way, they find that some rivers have already started to flood. And when they reach home, an evacuation effort is already underway.
However 12 people have been left behind, and it is up to Megan and Cueball to save them. They know where to go now because of the map they stole, but they do not have a way of crossing rivers, when suddenly...

Hand-washing is a simple and effective way to help prevent diseases, such as colds, flu, and food poisoning.
Washing hands:
Wash your hands after:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the following steps for hand-washing:
You may want to leave the water running while you dry your hands on a paper towel. Then use the paper towel as a barrier between the faucet and your clean hands when you turn off the water.
If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer or alcohol-based hand wipe that contains at least 60% ethyl alcohol or isopropanol. Carry one or both with you when you travel, and keep them in your car or purse. These products can help reduce the number of germs on your hands, but they do not get rid of all types of germs.
If you use sanitizer, rub your hands and fingers until they are dry. You don't need to use water. The alcohol quickly kills many types of germs on your hands.

3 January 2012 – Ban Ki-moon has begun his second term as Secretary-General of the United Nations by pledging to harness "the strong power of partnerships" to respond to the planet's biggest challenges, such as tackling climate change, combating poverty and empowering women and girls.
In an interview with the UN News Centre and UN Radio to mark the start of his second term, Mr. Ban, 67, stressed the need for unity, particularly among Member States and their citizens.
"Together, nothing is impossible," he said, adding that "if we strengthen these partnerships among governments, business communities, civil organizations and philanthropists, then I think all these powerful partnerships can bring us towards the right direction."

With Star Trek coming out on Thursday, everybody on the internet is publishing top-ten lists about Trek. Here are our ten favorites, including villains, technobabble, babes and fight scenes.
10) Top 10 Star Trek Movies.
Yes, I know. There are only 10 Trek movies, before the new one. (At least this is one top 10 list where nobody can complain that something important got left out.) Mike Scott with the New Orleans Times-Picayune has been ranking the previous 10 films from worst to best. You won't be shocked to hear that Star Trek V is the worst, followed by all the TNG films except for First Contact. Then Star Trek III is the sixth best, followed by Star Trek VI. Scott still hasn't revealed his top four, but the only remaining films are First Contact, Khan, Voyage Home and The Motion Picture. (TMP? Really?) There's also the top 10 Star Trek movie scores.
9) Top 10 Star Trek Moms.
This one is just sort of hilarious, including human moms like Beverly Crusher and Amanda Grayson... but also the whale in The Voyage Home and the Horta in "Devil In The Dark." How come nobody ever puts the Horta on a mother's day card? It's over at TrekMovie.
8) Top 10 Star Trek Villains.
This one makes me sort of sad, since it turns out there aren't actually ten great Star Trek villains. IGN tries valiantly, but winds up packing their list with characters like Kruge (from Search For Spock) and Weyoun (from Deep Space Nine.) Another site, Emagill, winds up packing their list with "the Conspiracy bugs" and Silik. (Neither site mentions Tomalok. Or Kor, from "Mission Of Mercy.") Even Film.com's "top five Star Trek villains," which is a lot less ambitious, winds up including Lursa and B'tor. Really? (Khan belt buckle from Zomboy.)
7) Top 10 Weirdest Star Trek Videos.
This list seems like another super obvious candidate, since if there weren't bizarre fan-made Trek videos, YouTube would have to shut down or become the Susan Boyle channel. Several of these I'd seen before, like the Star Trek Vs. Star Wars video, the Star Trek sex faces video and the Star Trek/A-Team opening credits video. But there's also this pretty awesome coffee commercial, paying homage to Sulu's destroyed coffee cup in The Undiscovered Country and that Voyager episode:
6) Top 10 Star Trek: TNG episodes.
With 178 episodes, and many of the strongest individual episodes in the franchise, there's plenty to choose from. EW picks a fairly solid list, including the "four lights" episode, the "Worf's cha'Dich" episode, and the "is Data human" episode. Plus a couple of clunkers, like the "Wesley's Starfleet Academy adventure" episode. Graduate student and self-proclaimed geek Martin McCrory has a somewhat more rock-solid list, including some bold choices.
5) Top 10 Cheesiest Star Trek Classic Creatures
This list is going to make the salt vampire cry — which will only make it need more salt. Poor salt vampire. Wired has a list ruthlessly mocking some of the creature design on the original series, including my personal favorite, the Mugatu. Just as long as they don't do anything similar for classic Doctor Who.
4) Top 10 Original Star Trek Babes
It's not all scantily clad women — it includes the awesome Romulan commander from "The Enterprise Incident," for one — but this list from Gather.com also showcases quite how ahead of its time, fashion wise, the original Trek was. Check out Andrea the Android's sexy/crazy strap outfit.
3) Top 10 Star Trek Characters.
This one seems like such an obvious idea, but few sites have assayed it. From the original series, this list at Fix My Internet Now! only includes Kirk and Spock, but then goes pretty heavy on the TNG and DS9 characters. Like all right-thinking people, they completely leave out Voyager and Enterprise. (Actually, I'm kidding. My own top 10 list would have included B'elanna Torres, "Trip" Tucker, possibly T'Pol and possibly Tuvok. Becuase I obviously have a soft spot for Vulcans.)
2) Top 10 Star Trek Inventions That Exist Today.
J.J. Abrams likes to say that Trek's 1960s vision of the future has come true, and a couple of different sites have stepped up to bear him out. Filmjunk has a list of Star Trek inventions that we're already using today, including basic stuff like portable memory, bluetooth headsets and biometrics, but also location finding. Networkworld has a somewhat more exciting list of inventions that are now in development, including phasers, tractor beams, cloaking devices and hyposprays. Probably the best list of this type, though, is at Space.com, from Technovelgy's Bill Christensen. It includes stuff like the Tricorder, the communicator, the Universal Translator, "credits," and more.
1) Top 10 Star Trek Technobabbles from Cinemassacre.com.
I can't believe they managed to pick just ten of these, although to be fair like half of them are Data or Geordi. I love the idea that this is "science that's made to sound plausible and realistic, but really it's full of shit." In general, the video is priceless:
So there you are. All we need now is for someone to add this top 10 list to their own top 10 list of Star Trek posts, and the recursiveness will be perfect.
Oh, and here's a runner up:
Best Unintentionally Funny Star Trek Fight Scenes
Sadly, there are only nine things in this list at Unreality Mag, so it doesn't really belong in a list of top 10 lists. But it's a wonderful tribute to the unrestrained, juggernaut fighting style of William Shatner. Including this great smackdown:

José's reverence for the Corps earns him a place in the heart of the Marines.
The Marines of the 4th Force Reconnaissance Company strap José into an MC-5 parachute harness, letting him dangle to get the feel of floating to the ground. He has joined the ranks of The Few and The Proud – a wish come true.
While receiving treatment for his T-Cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, 14-year-old José asked Make-A-Wish® Hawaii for a custom shooting range to prepare him for a future as a Marine. For a teenager dealing with the challenges of a life-threatening medical condition, wish granters knew he needed the hope that comes with his one true heartfelt wish – to become a marine. So the wish granters contacted the elite 4th Force Marine Recon Co. stationed at KaneoheBay, who invited José to attend a full day of a courageous wish experience.
Staff Sgt. Eric Stone and Sgt. Joe Lindsay visit José at the hospital and bring him a poster signed by all the Marines – complete with a recon squad pin.
Then, José and his fellow Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps friends arrive at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. They take a complete tour of the camp giving them an extraordinary chance to understand the close-knit men and women who stand for courage, endurance, loyalty and enthusiasm among other warrior traits.
The teenagers watch the training and dedication that make the Marines some of the world's most storied troops – proudly wearing the anchor, globe and eagle.
José straps into the MC-5 parachute harness then takes a ride in a Zodiac raft with his cadet friends. They visit the artillery range getting a grunt's-eye view of artillery practice.
The Marines then present José with a certificate signed by the base's commanding general and sergeant major proclaiming him an Honorary Reconnaissance Marine.
José's reverence for the Corps earns him a place in the heart of the Marines.
José is a remarkable individual whose character in the face of adversity is a fine example for anyone to follow and he deserved to be at the center of attention. The Corps would be be proud to have him in our ranks.

First Sgt. Timothy Blake
This story makes me feel
I am very proud of Jose. He is battling cancer and still wants to fight for our freedom. I have tons of respect for him and am very thankful there are people like him out there!
February 07, 2007 - 4:13 PM
My fiance is a member of Recon and we both want to tell you how proud we are of you!! KEEP FIGHTING, YOU CAN BEAT THIS!!!! Good luck and we know your going to be an AMAZING Marine! Simper Fi!

This story touches my heart! My husband is a Marine in the 6th Motor Transport Batallion and is getting ready for his third deployment to the Middle East. To see that there are young boys aspiring to serve at such a young age is truly amazing! I am so proud of the Marines who made this young mans wish come true!! I wish Jose much luck and strength! My God bless him on his journey and I will be praying for him! Semper Fidelas Marine!

Police in California say a man swinging a "Samurai"-type sword while naked on the streets on San Jose is in custody. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A naked man holding a "Samurai"-type sword was arrested after a bizarre New Year's Day standoff with police.
Authorities were called to Ezie Street and Cas Drive in San Jose after several people called 911 to report a man standing in front of a home with an assault rifle just after 8 a.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).
As police rushed to the scene, witnesses said the man got in a car and drove to Southwest Expressway and Bascom Avenue. That's where police pulled him over.
Read more news on NBCBayArea.com
Police said the suspect immediately got out of his car and started yelling, "You're going to have to kill me."
He was naked and holding a large "Samurai"-type sword, according to police.
One witness told NBC Bay Area that the man was pacing back and forth waving the sword at times.
San Jose Police Department "Crisis Intervention Team" members were called to the scene and a standoff began.
Coco Bennett, 29, was taken into custody without incident just before 11 a.m. local time (2 p.m. ET).
Police said he would be evaluated by doctors.
An AR-15-type assault rifle was recovered, according to police.

I haven't had much use for The Lizard of K Street since he posted this sociopathic little gem in 2004:
Did the president really gut the Endangered Species Act yesterday while no one was paying attention? So I've heard, at any rate. If so, good riddance. You'll all yell at me, I suppose, but really: Who cares? Species die, shit happens, get over it.
It is not exactly news that Matthew Yglesias is a tepid thinker. Poking holes in Yglesias' vacuous, self-absorbed puffery has long been a popular pastime among bloggers from the progressive left to the hard right. He's got himself a cushy gig these days, squirting out incontinent posts with no detectable logical or factual value, and as long as people give his outlets page views it's all good. Eyeballs are eyeballs, and it doesn't matter much if those eyeballs are rolling upward hard enough to burst blood vessels.
But this shit? This shit is inexcusable.
Bangladesh may or may not need tougher workplace safety rules, but it's entirely appropriate for Bangladesh to have different—and, indeed, lower—workplace safety standards than the United States.
The reason is that while having a safe job is good, money is also good. Jobs that are unusually dangerous—in the contemporary United States that's primarily fishing, logging, and trucking—pay a premium over other working-class occupations precisely because people are reluctant to risk death or maiming at work. And in a free society it's good that different people are able to make different choices on the risk–reward spectrum.…
Bangladesh is a lot poorer than the United States, and there are very good reasons for Bangladeshi people to make different choices in this regard than Americans. That's true whether you're talking about an individual calculus or a collective calculus. Safety rules that are appropriate for the United States would be unnecessarily immiserating in much poorer Bangladesh. Rules that are appropriate in Bangladesh would be far too flimsy for the richer and more risk-averse United States. Split the difference and you'll get rules that are appropriate for nobody.
There are three main problems with Yglesias' argument.
- Yglesias' argument is profoundly immoral. People are willing to take bigger risks to feed their families when they're burdened by poverty, yes. But arguing that we should use that unfortunate fact as a basic design feature of global workplace safety regulations is vile.
- Yglesias' argument is profoundly ahistorical as well. Workplace safety regulations — and environmental laws, and education for women, and all of the thousands of other social goods we fight for — don't magically appear when societies' wealth passes a certain threshold as a result of the airy fapping of the invisible hand. Those regulations come into being because people fight for them, often dying in the process, against the opposition of the entrenched powers that make the regulations necessary in the first place. And here Yglesias is on the side of the entrenched powers, willing to wave away yet another workplace disaster so that he can continue to enjoy the cheap cotton shorts, running shoes, and tablet computers he sees as his birthright.
- Yglesias' argument is essentially plagiarized from a 1991 memo by Laurence Summers written when the latter was the chief economist at the World Bank. A salient sampling from that memo:
I've always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly UNDER-polluted, their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City. … The concern over an agent that causes a one in a million change in the odds of prostrate[sic] cancer is obviously going to be much higher in a country where people survive to get prostrate[sic] cancer than in a country where under 5 mortality is 200 per thousand.
An individual human life is worth fewer U.S. dollars in Bangladesh, and so betting that lower-value life against the possibility that you might actually survive your $432 per annum minimum wage job just makes better sense there than it does here, eh Matt? Hell, if the typical Bengali minimum wage worker survives his or her job for three or four years before they get crushed to death by an unsafe building, they may actually have come out well ahead of the game!
It's a repugnant argument.
Matthew Yglesias should be ashamed of himself.

Broward School Board members cut the district's capital budget by more than half Tuesday night, meaning some schools are stuck with outdated libraries and some communities that need new schools will not have them for a few more years.
But, they also provided relief to some communities by moving money around in order to keep decades-old promises of swimming pools, libraries, cafeterias and auditoriums.
Parent Leslie Carhart thanked the board for finding a way to build a nine-lane swimming pool at Fort Lauderdale High School, a project more than 15 years in the making, without taking money from other schools. The pool is now possible because the district was able to get lower interest rates on other projects.
"I am not comfortable with having to benefit my school community at the expense of another," said Carhart, whose son graduated from Fort Lauderdale High in the spring. "Thank you."
Deciding which construction projects to keep and which to lose or postpone was not easy. Board members considered such things as health and safety issues, dilapidated buildings and obsolete technology that hinders learning.
That's why Davie Elementary School still gets bathroom renovations and Dania Elementary gets new floors and a sprinkler system upgrade, but Apollo Middle School in Hollywood won't get a new boys' locker room and Attucks Middle, also in Hollywood, can't look forward to an upgraded intercom system.
Superintendent James Notter said the district plans to file away all the cut projects so if and when the economy rebounds, "we can honor our commitment to our community, and most importantly to our children."
The $1.3 billion capital budget not only pays for construction projects, but also things like buses and computers.
The School Board annually approves a wish list of projects to be completed over the next five years. Last year's approved budget was approximately $3 billion.
But this year, the district eliminated more than $660 million in already-approved construction and shelved an additional $1.5 billion in planned projects. So, older school buses will thunder down county streets longer and classroom technology won't be upgraded as quickly.
One concession made during Tuesday's final capital budget vote, however, was to give Boyd Anderson High School a $1.5 million library renovation. The original project, a new $7.87 million building, was one of the previously budgeted but now eliminated projects.

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family. "You aren't going to catch many fish that way," said the businessman to the fisherman. "You should be working rather than lying on the beach!"
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, "And what will my reward be?" "Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the businessman's answer. "And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!" "And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman again. The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!" he said.
"And then what will my reward be?" repeated the fisherman. The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!" Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?" The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the world!"
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you think I'm doing right now?"

Blowhard Rush Limbaugh dedicated a lengthy diatribe on his radio show yesterday to the idea that there is a movement underway to try to "normalize pedophilia" by classifying it as a sexual orientation like heterosexuality and homosexuality. Limbaugh based his claims on an article in The Guardian that addresses questions science still has about the nature of pedophilia, but then he drew his own conclusions that normalizing same-sex marriage is similarly going to lead to normalizing the sexual abuse of children:
LIMBAUGH: There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage. What has happened to gay marriage? It's become normal — and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics it's the most important issue in terms of who they vote for. So don't pooh-pooh. There's a movement to normalize pedophilia. Don't pooh-pooh it. The people behind it are serious, and you know the left as well as I do. They glom onto something and they don't let go. […]
What is their objective? They want us to all think that pedophilia is just another sexual orientation. You know who's gonna fall right in line is college kids, just like they have on gay marriage, just like they do on all other revolutionary social issues. Their own definition of the cutting edge, civil rights, freedom, understanding, tolerance. So I'm just warning you here. You think it can't happen. "Impossible! Don't be nutso and wacko on us, Rush."
Listen to it:
But pedophilia is not considered a sexual orientation. It's considered a psychiatric disorder and a paraphilia. The issue with pedophilia is that the target of the sexual impulse is children, who can be physically and emotionally scarred by such contact. Pedophilia, like other paraphilias, violates the consent of another entity, whereas sexual orientations do not. In fact, the moral condemnation of same-sex orientations is a judgment of who has the attractions, not who the attractions target. For example, a sexual orientation toward men can present in women or in men, but conservatives have only ever objected to men having that orientation. That judgment is based on religious dogma, not any intention to reduce harm to others.
Limbaugh's tirade is dangerous and unnecessarily conflates homosexuality with pedophilia, as opponents of LGBT equality have done for decades. There is no way to compare two loving consenting adults to harming a child. If there were a valid reason to be concerned that society was no longer interested in protecting young people from sexual abuse, Limbaugh would have a compelling argument to make and many would surely rally around his cause. Instead, his words serve only to further demonize the LGBT community with archaic myths.

The camaraderie that we have in this fandom can be the most volatile thing in the world and yet I wouldn't trade it for anything. We have our ups and downs, fights and mishaps but in the end we all are here for ONE reason. We love Rob and Kristen and we want to support them no matter what.

I just returned from a Leadership Mission in which 25 people spent a week touring Israel and learning about the geo-realpolitik-media-security issues facing our beleaguered homeland.
We toured the controversial security fence, flew the entire length of the Green Line in a small chartered plane, and toured the Syrian border with an IDF officer who imparted lessons in military strategy that you only hear at West Point. We went through checkpoints, rode in armored busses, and handled guns, bullets and tank missiles. We saw documentaries on the issues, and heard from reporters -- Jewish, non-Jewish and even Palestinian -- from the New York Times, Time magazine, CBS News and more. We met with government ministers, visited victims of terror, and heard from the left, the right, the center, the passionate, the logical, and the frustrated.
I thought I knew my stuff before this trip, as I am an addicted Middle East news and history junkie. But I was wrong. It is one thing to read an article, attend a lecture, or watch a televised report. But to have the opportunity to grill an expert, a reporter, or a politician on their turf is quite another. I discovered vast underlying complexities that I never imagined.
One key insight was that the reporters -- who largely determine the world's view on this issue -- are articulate, worldly, well-educated, experienced, and thoughtful. But each has an inner gyroscope from which they rarely deviate. Events are described via their own subjective-ness that they claim as cold hard objectivity. This bias is refracted onto the morning papers, television screens and radio waves that bombard us daily. Reporters rarely, if ever, get an epiphany reporting here; they come with a viewpoint and report from that perch throughout their careers.
Given what we read in the paper, you would think that no one in Israel is working to counterbalance the negative reporting. But that's not the case. Throughout Israel there are smart, dedicated, knowledgeable people who know the foreign press and are aggressively working to put the news into its right historic perspective. Case in point is HonestReporting, which works with journalists behind the scenes, in addition to having 100,000 members who can bombard editors with emails calling for more historical context, equal time for all sides, and an end to the "tit-for-tat cycle of violence" narrative that conjures a false moral equivalence between terrorists and their victims.
But then again, it is hard to shift the press in Israel's favor when these same reporters are subject to intimidation and blackmail working within the Palestinian territories. If you don't give it Arafat's spin, you will never work in this war zone again. And with no access to the P.A., you're on a plane back home to cover 'man bites dog' stories. One very telling comment was from a Foreign Ministry spokesman, who said that Israel needs us -- yes, you and me, folks -- to advocate and monitor the news on their behalf, as they simply don't have the budget to fight the propaganda war. Imagine the U.S. State Department saying such a thing!
20/20 Vision
With this trip I began to see the Middle East in a three-dimensional way. I first traveled to Israel in 1984 because I did not understand the conflict and wanted to see it first-hand. Much like the way I went to see the Berlin Wall and Communist Russia and China. I had to see it up close and personal. From this current trip I had the experience one has when looking at those fuzzy pictures of colorful wavy lines that make no sense, and then as your eyes refocus you see a wild 3-D picture jump out that you did not perceive a moment before.
Daniel Pipes spent the week with our group, and here is one of the great ironies he pointed out:
- Rabin ran for election saying he would never negotiate with the PLO, and he did.
- Netanyahu ran for election saying he would never give back the Golan, and he came close to doing so.
- Barak ran for election saying he would never divide Jerusalem, and he offered to do so.
- Sharon ran for election saying he would never do what his opponent was suggesting -- give back Gaza -- and he is now doing so.
Why? Because once these politicians are in power they want to move beyond the status quo and reach for the history books as The Peacemaker. That's great, except that this is supposed to be a democratic process and the leaders often act with minority support. Last week I stood on the roof of the building that houses the grave of Samuel the Prophet, which is the most strategic viewpoint of northern Jerusalem. You can see from the Mediterranean to Jordan, from Bethlehem to Ramallah. The mishmash of Arab and Jewish neighborhoods makes it hard to imagine where any future border might be drawn. As it is, the security fence cuts off Arabs from their fields -- which is the price to save civilian lives. But like everything else in this region, nothing is simple; the Israeli Supreme Court has now ruled that "the state must find an alternative that may give less security, but would harm the local population less."
Go Figure!
We visited the security fence at a crossing on the Jewish side. The security personnel refused to have their picture taken. Israeli soldiers usually don't care and, in fact, enjoys being photographed. But these were not the I.D.F. These were Arabs, toting automatic machine guns, who worked for the private security firm that operates the fence. Go figure!
And then we heard about Abu Mazen, the deposed Prime Minister of the P.A. who is part-owner of the cement company that supplies the 4 percent of the fence that is concrete slabs. Smart guy; he benefits either way.
People often ask what it will take for the two sides to make peace. If you take away Palestinian weapons, you will have a peace. If you take away Israel's weapons, you will have the end of Israel.
We spoke to one Palestinian reporter (who asked to remain anonymous), and braced ourselves for some heavy rhetoric. But as he spoke, he started to sound pro-Israel. That didn't make sense, until it dawned on us -- he wasn't pro Israel, he just could not stand, as he put it, "Arafat and his gang of thieves." Arafat has received $7 billion in aid since Oslo, and the Palestinian villages under his grip look as sorry as ever. Where did all that money go? And does anyone even bother to ask?! One highlight was interacting with a Hasbara Fellowships group, consisting of college students who want to become activists on their respective campuses. To take up the gauntlet in the face of heavy pro-Palestinian support, these students must be amongst the righteous of our generation!
Wake-Up Call
After a full week of covering every aspect of Mideast issues, we rolled into Shabbat. Our group was anything but observant, yet the spiritual power and wisdom of our great heritage came as a welcome relief. The week's events were now filtered through the prism of 3,500 years of Jewish survival, and our eternal mission to be the light unto the nations.
The Jewish people have the talents, abilities and social status to right the world's wrongs. If we back away, the world will hate us. If we embrace the challenge, the world will love us.
The Almighty is waking up the Jewish people through blood, fire and tears. The distortions about Israel in the media is God saying to us, "How bad do I have to frustrate you to get your attention and awaken you from the slumber?"
This Leadership Mission brought it all home: A powerful vehicle to understand Mideast complexities, and a prime motivator to take charge of the Jewish future. We've seen it before, again and again. Either we take this message of personal and national redemption to the world, or the world will blow the law of the jungle right back in our face.

Truth or Fiction
It is a waiting room, after all.
There's a book in her purse; she doesn't take it out, open it, read. There are people down the corridor, but she doesn't mind them. Not like she normally would, curious by nature as she is.
She studies the linoleum floor, wondering how many steps cover the space between where she is and where she'll be. Somewhere back behind that closed door, to where a nurse must invite you.
News waits.
The hard plastic chair grows, well, harder, though its chemistry hasn't changed since she sat down. It's just... maybe somehow, because all her nerves are alerted, she feels it like she didn't before, leaden and solid. Like that heft of unease in her stomach, leaden and solid.
She hears the rattling of the knob, sees it turn. She imagines a significant woosh of air, one she might saddle, mount and escape on, as the door swings open.
She hears her name called. Pries herself from the weighted chair. Wants to smile at the warm nurse, who offers a grasping and guiding arm, but she can't get the right muscles to cooperate. Not in this moment.
Instead, she draws a deep breath. Again.
Reality waits.

So you really want to know? The suspense isn't enough? ;)
I took a grain of truth and polished it into something representative of circumstance. It is embellished from something I recently experienced. And yep, we've all been there, in that waiting space. I love the relatability of a moment like that.

This rings true. I've been in that position, and experienced those feelings more times than I care to remember.
Please say, "it's fiction."
P.S. I read the more recent comments. I'm glad there's only a grain of truth.

I was right there with you. When fiction is believable, it's truth. If it's truth, you've expressed it clearly.

Very nice. I was going to say a mixture of truth and imagination, but I have a little background knowledge. Personally, the smell of hospitals turns my stomach.

Roth, Loyal David (1917-1961)
Loyal David Roth: mission worker and deacon in the northern missions of the Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite Conference. He was born 18 March 1917 at Tofield, Alberta, and died 14 December 1961 at the University Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, following open heart surgery. He married Ruth Martin on 12 October 1939. They were the parents of 3 sons and 2 daughters.
Loyal and Ruth Roth were pioneer mission workers in northern Alberta. They accepted, or perhaps more accurately, volunteered early in 1948 to move to Culp, Alberta, which at that time had no established Protestant/Evangelical church. Loyal was ordained 25 May 1952 in his home church, and initially worked together with Rollin and Edna Yoder who established a mission in the nearby small rural community of four Mile Creek which was close to the village of Eaglesham.
Loyal Roth was particulary skilled in building relationships with the local people, and came to be highly regarded in the community. He opened a small store which also doubled as a post office, and in 1950 invited other Mennonite northern mission workers for a time of visiting, fellowship, Bible student and devotions. That marked the beginning of what became an annual Northern Workers' Conference.
A serious heart disease hampered Loyal and Ruth in their mission work, and they were very grateful when, in 1950, Robert and Pearl Stauffer moved into the community. In addition, Ada Brubaker came from Ontario to provide assistance in the household. At Culp, as in other northern Mennonite mission, the work began with the organization of a Sunday School and Summer or Daily Vacation Bible Schools. There were also worship services, conducted at first in the Roth home.
Loyal Roth's declining health, improved road conditions, and other practical considerations resulted in a consolidation of the Culp and Four Mile mission programs in the larger town of Eaglesham. The Roths, in search of a milder climate, moved to a small mission in Montana in 1957, but returned a year later to serve as pastor of the Eaglesham Mennonite Church. Their house/store/post office at Culp was moved to Eaglesham where they served until Loyal's death, at the age of 44, in 1961. Ruth continued her work at Eaglesham until 1963 when she remarried and left the community.
Loyal and Ruth Roth were highly respected in the Culp/Four Mile Creek/Eaglsham districts. At the time of Loyal's death a special memorial fund was established to finance the construction of a new church building at Eaglesham. That new building was competed and dedicated in 1965.

The cold planer cutter bits used by Steve Foster's crew worked just fine. Why change?
"I was set on the teeth we used," said Foster, a milling crew supervisor for Branscome Paving, Manassas, VA. "The production was good. It wasn't a bad tooth. It cost a bit more, but we were willing to pay that price for the production. There is more to cost than the initial purchase price."
Still, the sales rep for the local Cat dealer continually approached Foster about giving Cat Master Grade Cutter Bits a trial use. What harm could result from comparing bits? And what if the Cat bits performed equally—and ultimately provided more value?
Eventually, Foster agreed to test the Cat Master Grade bits. "First, in a side-by-side comparison, the Cat bits look almost identical to the competitive bits," Foster said. "There's not much difference in them, at least in terms of appearance."
The differences emerged when Branscome's two Cat cold planers went to work.
"We discovered it is rare that we lose any rotation on these Cat bits," Foster said. Rotation is important because it enables the bits to wear evenly, which greatly extends their lives.
"We hardly ever lose rotation," Foster said. "I can wear those Cat bits down to pencil thin. The carbide stays sharp and they continue to cut."
The trial resulted in a switch to Cat bits and produced many benefits:
While Foster has found many reasons to stay loyal to the Master Grade Cutter Bits, it was the purchase cost that initially persuaded him to try the Cat product.
"Straight up, it was price," Foster said. "It's not my money, but I believe I owe it to the company to provide value where I can."
Foster is a firm believer that there is more to value than the initial cost of the bits, which are available for milling, reclamation and stabilization applications. He watched the Cat Master Grade Cutter Bits closely, from the time they arrived until they eventually were replaced. "They exceeded my expectations, which were high enough to begin with," he said.
He will continue to use the Master Grade Cutter Bits. "The machine isn't working as hard, which will extend its life as well," Foster said. "There are so many cost-savings benefits that it's hard to add them all up."
"They exceeded my expectations, which were high enough to begin with."
