Recchi, Petrovicky & Bulis… gone?
According to several sources (TSN, NHLPA, Spector, Hokej.cz) the Pittsburgh Penguins have inked forwards Mark Recchi and Ronald Petrovicky while the Vancouver Canucks have signed forward Jan Bulis.
Also, thanks to Bruins_fan33 reporting that defensemen Bryan Helmer has signed with Phoenix while forward Wyatt Smith has signed with the Wild
More inside
Briere eh?! Nuts to that!
Ok….this is only my second post, and for my first I forgot to mention some of my thoughts and there were a few comments left that encompassed the things I left out. This time I will try to be more selective with my thoughts.
Penguins ink Orpik to two-year deal
The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed defenseman Brooks Orpik to a two-year contract. Terms were not released.
The team also signed Matt Carkner to a one-year deal.
Briere awarded, big time!
According to tsn, Briere was awarded a 1 year 5-million dollar salary as a result of his arbitration case.
This is based on salaries of other players (Havlat anyone?) with similar seasons last year.
Still according to TSN, this could result in a lot of movement in Buffalo, with Montreal, Los Angeles and Atlanta looking to be the frontrunners for Briere's services at this point.
Canucks news
Sean Brown wil sign to a 1 Year $450,000.
$457,985 to be exact.
Eric Weinrich will return for up to 500k per season !
Danny Markov is a UFA and Might sign to a 2m 2y deal.
Anson Carter would like 3 Million per year.
Ryan Kesler has not received a qualifying offer.
Jozef Balej , Kevin Bieska & Alexei Burrows havn't either.
Mika Noronen has a 23% chance off getting a qualifying offer.
Wade Flaherty will re-sign and has received a qualifying offer.
Isles Accept York's One Year Award
According to the team's official site, the Islanders have accepted the one year deal for Mike York. York will get a 800k raise from last years $2.05 million salary. York scored 13 goals and had 52 points in his first year as an Islander. New GM Snow's first big decision.
Oilers Re-Sign Stoll
The Edmonton Oilers and centre Jarret Stoll have come to an agreement on a two-year contract, avoiding an arbitration hearing scheduled for Monday, July 24th

Tootoo remains a Predator
According to sportsnet.ca the Nashville Predators have re-signed physical forward Jordan Tootoo to a two-year contract.
The Predators have also re-signed RFA Sheldon Brookbank to a one-year deal and signed UFA Ramzi Abid to a two-year deal.
Ekman To the Pens
According to Yahoo Sports, the Sharks have traded forward Nils Ekman and goaltending prospect Patrick Ehelechner to the Pens for a 2nd round draft pick.
Islanders sign Rick Berry
The New York Islanders announced today that they have signed physical defenceman Rick Berry to a one-year contract.
JFJ's Work Is Done For This Offseason
With the exception of signing Matt Stajan to a reported multi year deal, JFJ likely will not be tinkering with the Maple Leafs line-up any further this off-season.
Belfour NOT A Panther?
TSN.ca is reporting that the Florida Panthers have
had a change of heart and have backed out of the
talks with Ed Belfour and put their fate in untested
goaltender Alex Auld.
Rangers dealt Dominic Moore to Nashville for Adam Hall, then Nashsille shipped Moore along with Libor Pivko to Pittsburgh for a 3rd pick.
Disgrace on the Island
I was born in July 1983, a few months after the Islanders' last Cup. I must say that I am completely disgusted with what is going on with this team right now.
Leafs Should Pursue Gomez, Daze
This is just a thought NOT a rumor so take it as you wish.
First of all I'd like to say that I am satisfied with was has taken place this offseason in leafland.
Walker to Carolina!
Hockeybuzz is reporting that the Nashville Predators have traded Scott Walker to the Carolina Hurricanes for Josef Vasicek… more to come later.
Don't rush to blame Gainey
I for one have critized montreal canadiens gm Bob gainey on sleeping during the first couple of days of this month. But gainey has offerd many players contract but got the bad end of the stick. Gainey was not able to sign players because player prefer not to play in montreal. They are many pros and cons playing with this organisation. But unfortuantly there are more cons playing for the habs these day.
Garon signs – To remain a King or be traded?
According to hockeybuzz and L.A. Kings web site, the Kings have signed restricted free agent Mathieu Garon to a one year deal. Terms were not revealed.
Québec's ''Red Bulls''
According to Le journal de Montreal…
Owner of the multiple F1 Teams and co-owner of Red Bull drinks, Dietrich Mateschitz is apparently thinking of bringing a hockey club back to Quebec City. The guy owns two soccer teams, one in Ostrich and the other one in New York and he's owning at the moment 2 cars for NASCAR and those cars will be running by 2007.
Ducks wants to trade Giguere
According to TSN.ca : Ducks goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov told a Russian newspaper Saturday that the team wants him to be the No. 1 goaltender next season instead of Jean-Sebastien Giguere.

Germ and Bacteria Hot-Spots: 12 Things You Should Know
Pages in this Story:
- Germs: Dangerous or Not?
- Dirty Door Handles
- Unclean Office Objects
- Filthy Floors
- Scuzzy Sponges
- Unsanitary Kitchen Sinks
- Bunking with Bacteria
- Bedbug Elimination

- Should You Use Antibacterial Products?
Unclean Office Objects
Claim: Your office desk is way dirtier than a toilet bowl.
True. The average desktop has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl, simply because people usually don't clean their desks on a regular basis, says Gerba. Most of these germs are harmless, but in a recent study Gerba and his colleagues found the parainfluenza virus, which causes colds and flu, on about one-third of office surfaces. The germiest object: the phone. Viruses such as the flu can survive for two or three days on desktops, phones, and computer keyboards. They're transmitted when you touch contaminated objects and then put your hands on your nose, mouth, and eyes, says Gerba. (By the way, the door handle on the microwave in the office kitchen is also a very germy place. So be sure to wash your hands after heating up your lunch.) Keep microbe levels on your desk down by regularly cleaning with a disinfecting wipe, particularly during flu season. Don't apply disinfectant directly to equipment, which can damage it. Spray first on a paper towel. If you share a phone, clean it every day. Wash your hands often (with warm water and soap or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer), and don't touch your face, says Gerba.

Don't forget the buffet restaurants where everybody touches the serving utensils before you do and then you get your stuff, go back to your table and start eating. Maybe you cleaned your hands before you got your stuff but don't assume everyone else did!!!!!!!!!!11/20/2012 10:56:46 PM Report Abuse
on the topic of dirty door handles, i again disagree! Someone with damp hands touching a door handle has 500% more probability of cross contamination! However, I have seen in the British press recently that there is a new hygienic door handle from a company called Pure Hold that actually cleans your hands - if these get rolled out in hospitals we will all be better of! Have a look for yourself http://www.purehold.co.uk/12/31/2011 03:44:01 PM Report Abuse
totally disagree with this - inanimate objects such as door handles, phones, money have been proven to transfer germs and viruses - there is a wealth of research on the web that proves this!12/31/2011 03:35:22 PM Report Abuse
is phone funk on the mouthpiece of a phone mean there is bacteria on it? same for the sweaty musty smell that comes from my washing machine?4/13/2011 03:46:24 PM Report Abuse
i am throwing out my cleaning sponges pronto. i have used these for several months. i just assumed the cleaning stuff i use was keeping them from harvesting bacteria.4/13/2011 03:43:45 PM Report Abuse

A Rock and Roll Lifestyle0 Reviews
Noin is hired to protect the new superstar of the century, Dorothy Catalona. They clash and try to see past their pasts. Yuri. DorothyNoin.
The first time Noin saw Dorothy and her band perform it was as security. Dorothy had especially asked her to be her bodyguard and Noin couldn't say no to the latest hot new sensation. Especially when they had taken it to themselves to visit her in her office.
She was slightly behind stage but away from all the chaos and confusion as make up artists and stage hands rushed about trying to get everything perfect. Everything was wild and mad, but every where you could see part of Dorothy's creation, her joy and energy.
In the middle of a crisis Dorothy had been calm as sparkly glitter had been applied. The red, blood red lipstick pressed against her pouting lips as her eyes remained focused on Noin, dressed in Preventer uniform. Mascara made her brilliant, intense eyes more open to the world, even as she hid all that made her nearly a war criminal.
Nearly, Noin reminded herself, trying not to close her legs, was the operative word. But she didn't take her eyes away from Dorothy as shook out her long blonde hair, and smiled at her. It was only polite, Noin murmured quitely to herself, to smile back. She showed all her teeth at the younger woman before deliberately turning her back.
On stage Dorothy pranced, danced, strode, strutted, pounced, ran, jumped. Her voice was contanting beating out a tune as she lost herself to the crowd and to the stage. It was mesmerizing. To Noin, the other people whirling around her lost any meaning as she focused only on the moving, writhing Dorothy.
At the end of the night Dorothy, with a tired smirk on her face, smelling utterly rank except for the thorny roses clasped in her arms, turned to Noin and asked if she wanted a night cap. It surprised Noin, at the formal tone and she accepted, after having drawn her eyes up from the bouncing diamond that rested in Dorothy's belly button.
Without another glance Dorothy walked away from the crowd and her band member, who watched in amusement as Noin followed her. One of them, a very pretty boy with a mohawk and half a dozen piecings in one ear, spoke to her before she left. He told her, whatever happened, not to ask Dorothy about her underwear.
It was not until later when she was nearly at Dorothy's hotel room a half known rumour was dreged up in Noin's mind and she remember how one former lover of Dorothy had attempted to sell her panties. Attempted being the key word.
But before that she had to endure a slow torture inside a large, almost garishly bright sports car. Before she entered Dorothy had donned a pair of driving gloves and had tied her long hair with a thick black ribbon with such highlights that reminded Noin of Wufei's hair out spread on a satin pillow.
Resisting the urge to cross her legs had never been so difficult. But the look of sly pleasure that passed over Dorothy's face had been an inticement if nothing else.
The ride had been wild and fast, Dorothy seemed to have little regard for other drivers. Even through she never broke the law, it was always a close call as she changed lanes and spurred on ahead.
Noin for some reason or the other enjoyed the ride, Zechs would say that underneath her outer cast she was just the speed junkie as he was, but he was drunk and so didn't count... much. Dorothy seemed to notice, her eyes widening as she caught sight of Noin's brightening eyes and clenching glove clad hands.
A pimpled valet was the one who with great delight took away the car as Dorothy watched with suspicious eyes, and Noin was reminded of another thing Zechs had said about Dorothy, all about her gold car.
Dorothy's room was on the 21th floor, third from the top. In a city of tall buildings and innumerable sky scapers, it was one of many. Through the hotel did have class and history.
As Dorothy stood at attention at the window, Noin found herself sitting in a blue velvet seat. No drink was forth coming. Frowning suddenly, Dorothy closed the draperies with a whirl and flopped on the floor by a small cabinet.
"Whiskey?" She asked slowly, drawling each syllabal out, but still a note of irritation in her tone. Noin nodded and watched openly as Dorothy poured a drink for Noin, but had only a can of sprite for herself.
They sat there drinking for a full five minutes before Dorothy started speaking again. Her words coming out easily from her red lips. Her teeth still white when she was a young twelve year old when Noin had first met the dangerous cousin of her commander, Treize.
"It's been a while, since we last had a drink together Lu," Dorothy was one of few who in private called her by her first name. Back when they had first met, it had been a taunt, now it sounded almost like an endearment.
Swallowing a mouthful of hot, burning alcohol, Noin only nodded. Looking away from Dorothy was hard, her hair was coming undone from any hairstyle that had been done and the glitter on her face was coming off on everything and anything. Her long, pale arms, the top of her breasts and her crossed knees. Dorothy was coming closer and the glitter fell sparkling to the dark carpet.
"Last time I saw you," Dorothy whispered, her eyes never leaving the shadowed contours of Noin's profile, "You were nearly married to my cousin's lover. You were his lover too, weren't you Noin? You probably loved to watch them fuck each other." Dorothy rested on her heels with a proud smirk. "I would have liked to watch them kiss and touch, I would have liked to have watched to go down on my cousin as Zechs entered you from the behind. What happened to the Peacecraft Prince? Did you return the crown jewels?"
Noin licked her lips, then stopped as Dorothy's intense hungry eyes took sudden notice. "I don't see how it is any business of yours Dorothy, who I fuck or marry. You were just a child, you - " She had to stop as one long finger was pressed against her lips in protest to what she had said.
"Never lie, Lu, you know that I was always more than what my age shows. Tell me about Zechs. He has disappeared again, hasn't he? Probably off to Mars. He's too damaged to love you. Treize is dead by Chang's hand and now Chang is a hero while everyone wants poor little Milliardo dead. What Lu, was it like sharing the bed with a dead man and his dead lover? Were the memories sweet?"
"As sweet as you, Dorothy, as sweet as you," Noin snapped out snarkily. "Zechs and I ended because it wasn't the same. We weren't in love any more even through we still loved each other. I couldn't marry him when he and I could fine some sort of happiness else where. He felt the same. He's a Prince of Earth but he isn't wanted, that's why he left for Mars. Nothing else, nothing more."
Dorothy frowned, as if in displeasure that she had been wrong. She tilted her head to one side and then curled up against the rapidly stiffening Noin. "I shouldn't believe," she sighed, "But I do." She closed her eyes and seemed to be ready to go to sleep.
Stuck with the still sweaty Dorothy in her lap and a nearly empty glass of whiskey in her hand, Noin said, "Get off me Dorothy, I know you're not napping. " Dorothy refused to move. "Oh so it's going to be that kind of night, eh?" She slowly poured the glass over Dorothy's face and chest.
Coming upright and sitting away from Noin, Dorothy glared. The whisky was spilling down her chin to the crevice between her breasts. She was beautiful, she was angry and she needed a shower.
"Wait," she murmured, delighting in the change of power and feeling freer from the conversation that Dorothy had instigated, it felt good to get that off her chest. "You need a shower Dorothy."
Smirking, Dorothy pulled away from and stood up, leaning over the still stitting Noin. She raised an arm and sniffed underneath carefully. "Yes, I believe I do." She turned, so when she spoke again, her voice sounded farther awya than it actually was, "Join me, Lu?"
Noin smiled, and made her way over to Dorothy. Placing a hand on Dorothy's, she traced a pattern down to Dorothy's nails. She nodded then and placed another arm possessively around Dorothy's stomach, she toyed with the diamond, it now bobbing under the caress.
"I think I will, Dorothy."
Dorothy turned, and in a flash was nearly touching Noin's lips with her own, "Never think, it has to be sure. You're sure aren't you Noin? Of this?" Her lips moved against Noin's.
Staring at Dorothy intently, Noin whispers, "I'm sure. You just have to prove it to me."
A sharp laugh rang in the hotel room, as Dorothy pulled Noin to the bathroom. "Don't worry, I'm good at proving things!" She laughed again and Noin felt herself joining in.

Korea Golfers: The magic formula
South Korea is a small, crowded country. It has only 0.7% of the world's population, and hardly any room for golf courses. Yet four of the top 10 female golfers in the world are Korean, as are 38 of the top 100 and 144 of the top 500. And these extraordinary numbers do not include women of Korean ancestry, such as Ms Ko herself, whose parents moved to New Zealand when she was six.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills
Via NESN:
Reggie Bush might not have been on the field much during the Dolphins' 37-3 blowout loss to the Titans after coughing up a costly first-half fumble. But he figures to be featured in the offense once again this week as Miami heads to Buffalo for a quick turnaround on Thursday night.
During an appearance on the Paul and Young Ron Show in Miami on Wednesday morning, Bush admitted that while he understands the benching, the decision does still bother him. While talking a bit during the show about his own performance and problems, Bush also looked ahead to the showdown with the Bills. But it wasn't exactly what you would expect.
During the interview, one of the hosts suggested that the crowd in Buffalo might get a little bit rowdy on Thursday, even joking that some of the women in the crowd might be topless. The other host directed his comment at Bush, saying, "You don't wanna see that."
While Bush would've been wise to just laugh off the comment or change the subject, he instead gave in and played along with the ruse, laughing and saying, "not Buffalo women."
The comment didn't seem malicious and was likely more of a joke between the tailback and the hosts, but that's also the sort of remark that can incite a fanbase, especially in Buffalo. So, you may want to tread lightly there, Reggie. Just ask Tom Brady.

Minotaur Books
Profiler Sarah Armstrong knows what it's like to be in a sticky situation. As a single mother and one of the few female Rangers in Texas history, she has had to work twice as hard to rank among the best cops in the Lone Star State. But when megawealthy businessman Edward Lucas III is found murdered along with his mistress, their bodies posed in grotesque ways, Sara quickly senses that this will be the deadliest case of her career. While others focus the investigation on Lucas's estranged wife, Sarah disagrees and hunts a suspect only she believes in. Yet nothing in her career could have prepared her for the horror of a young man who believes he has been sent from heaven to massacre innocent people. When Sarah picks up on the killer's elusive trail, following his scent all over Texas, the psychopath makes her his next target. And as Sarah closes in, the madman sets his sights on all she holds dear. Singularity features a feisty, funny, and tough heroine and a truly creepy killer, as it races along to a chilling and unexpected climax.
Praise for Singularity
"[A] well-written debut..." --Library Journal
"There's a new Ranger in town, and she's profiler Sarah Armstrong. . . . Let's hope she'll be around for a good long while...A harrowing debut."---C. J. Box, author of Blue Heaven and Blood Trail
"Speaking as a former cop, I'd work a case with Texas Ranger Sarah Armstrong any day. She's a smart and savvy investigator, definitely a force to be reckoned with. More important, Casey delivers a strong and chilling novel, proving that she can write fiction with the same compelling authority in which she pens true crime."---Robin Burcell, author of Cold Case, Fatal Truth, and Deadly Legacy
"Singularity starts on a high note and never lets up. Kudos to Kathryn Casey for her creation of Sarah Armstrong, a complex and memorable character sure to appeal to all readers. Singularity is a bright new star in the mystery genre."---Jessica Speart, author of Unsafe Harbor, Restless Water, and Border Prey

2D/3D Transmitters
With PowerbyProxi's miniaturized receivers able to be integrated into millions of everyday devices, the real utility of wireless charging for the user is largely based on the question – how easy is it to use?
At PowerbyProxi we have never ever seen the benefit of tightly coupled solutions, which require very precise alignment of the transmitter and receiver. For us, loosely coupled systems are the minimum standard and as a result we have always been able to offer a range of transmitter solutions, which provide complete flexibility of positioning in the X and Y axis.
In January of 2012 we went beyond loosely coupled wireless power with the first wireless power charging box – what we call our Proxi In-Device Charging Solution. A completely three dimensional transmitter providing and efficient, reliable and safe connection between the transmitter and any receiver placed anywhere within the box.
The Proxi In-Device Charging Solution provides a unique system for in-device recharging and in combination with our advanced loosely coupled Proxi Smartphone Solution charging pad, represents the future of pervasive and flexible wireless power technologies for the home.
- Real life connectivity with a focus on maximising the utility for the end user – simply place and charge
- High levels of efficiency – we only use as much power as required by the Proxi-Fi receivers present at any point in time
- Built in safety systems automatically detect foreign objects and shut off power transmission. Even metal objects wont get hot – a concept unheard of in every other wireless power system.
Proxi Smartphone and In-Device Solution transmitters are available in a range of standard sizes and configurations for use in the home, the office and a range of commercial and industrial environments.
For commercial and industrial application PowerbyProxi is able to quickly customize these to meet your specific needs. Whether it's a tray to recharge surgical instruments or a large container to charge batteries that are integrated into wearable vests – we can build a solution that works for you.
Licensing Options
In order to meet growing customer demand to trial and evaluate our ProxiPower solutions we are now able to offer a range of licensing options which will enable you to see the benefits of wireless power, and integrated wireless power and data systems in your own products.

"I still think the Superkick is the best finisher ever. It was just so good. There's so many [favorites]. I think Antonio Cesaro's finish right now is cool. I always loved the Piledriver, so an adaptation of the Piledriver is very awesome to me. I've always loved submission holds, so I love the Sharpshooter, that sort of thing. I love Dean Malenko's Cloverleaf. The things that I never really liked as finishers were the stuff that was wacky, stuff like the Von Erichs, who did the Tornado Punch, you know what I mean? The Ultimate Warrior, even though he was my favorite as a kid, had the Press Slam, and then he'd hit the ropes a couple of times and give 'em the Big Splash, the Hulk Hogan Legdrop, stuff like that was all stuff where I was just like, 'Eh.' To be fair, I honestly always hated the Rock Bottom. To me, it was just like, 'Uh, that's weird and stupid.'"
- Daniel Bryan discussing finishing moves and how he hates the one used by Rock
Japanese star Kenta Kobayashi, the wrestler who made the Go 2 Sleep finisher internationally famous, could be signed to a developmental deal with WWE soon. He was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center, where he was given a tryout by officials.
While Daniel Bryan was able to dish out a lot of punishment towards his foe, it was Bray Wyatt that stood victoriously at the end of their match at Royal Rumble 2014. Wyatt got the pin fall victory after nail his finisher twice, once of which was done outside the ring.
While he doesn't get to show it off very often on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, Jinder Mahal does actually have a finishing move. It's the camel clutch submission, and it has been recreated in the new WWE 2K14 video game.
In order to make it easier for fans to keep up with his life and career, Zach Gowen has decided to open up an Instagram account. The former WWE star still works plenty of matches on the independent wrestling circuit.
"For the record, Batista's a sweet guy with an incredible story of perseverance and hard work. He's one of the good guys."
- former WWE star Zach Gowen defending Batista
When he was just a child, Zach Gowen was diagnosed with cancer, and the future WWE star would be forced to amputate his leg when he was just eight years of age.
Former WWE star Zach Gowen, a one legged wrestler, posted a joke about how his opponent won't be able to get him into the figure four leg lock.

Based on a composer's psycho-acoustic imagination or response to music, system dynamics modelling and simulation tools can be used as a scoring device to map the structural dynamic shape of interest of computer music compositions. The tools can also be used as a generator of compositional ideas reflecting thematic juxtaposition and emotional flux in musical narratives. These techniques allow the modelling of everyday narratives to provide a structural/metaphorical means of music composition based on archetypes that are shared with wider audiences. The methods are outlined using two examples. (An ICMC 2000 Workshop Paper - Cognition and Perception of Computer Music.)

The attorney for Rodney Berget has requested a stay of execution for his client as they work to appeal his death sentence.
KSFY spoke with Berget's attorney Jeff Larson on Wednesday Afternoon. Larson says he filed a notice of appeal to the death sentence with the South Dakota Supreme Court on July 18th, but as of right now has not completed his brief. Larson did not say if any new findings prompted the decision only that he is appealing the court's decision and requested the stay of execution last week while the appeal is pending.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley filed the state's opposition to the stay of execution Wednesday Afternoon. According to court documents, Jackley requests the court dismiss the motion because the defense has not offered any factual or legal reason for the court to stay Berget's execution.
Berget pleaded guilty to the murder of Senior Corrections Officer Ron "RJ" Johnson on November 7, 2011 and was sentenced to death by Judge Bradley Zell on February 6, 2012. The sentence was appealed and remanded by the South Dakota Supreme Court. After a re-sentencing in the trial court, Berget was once again sentenced to die by lethal injection. A warrant of execution has been issued for the week of January 12, 2014.

CHICAGO - AUGUST 28: Hunter Hillenmeyer #92 of the Chicago Bears talks to teammates on the sidelines during a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals at Soldier Field on August 28, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The Cardinals defeated the Bears 14-9. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Hunter Hillenmeyer
Grizzly Detail proudly welcomes Hunter Hillenmeyer to the fold. The former Bears linebacker will share his unique take on everything Bear-related.
Hillenmeyer played for the Bears for seven seasons before concussions cut his season short in 2010. He filled in for Brian Urlacher after 54 injured his wrist in 2009, finishing the season with 90 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Over his career, Hillenmeyer made 384 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions.
But his contributions to the Bears go well beyond the playing field. As the Bears longtime player representative to the union, Hillenmeyer has been on the frontlines of the union's ongoing negotiations with the owners over the collective bargaining agreement. He also served on the NFL's Traumatic Brain Injury Committee and the Player Safety and Welfare Committee.
We are happy to have Hillenmeyer as part of the team, as his experiences as a player and with the union will help our readers understand all of the NFL's big issues.

In response to:
The fact that you think this is a dumb thing says little for your own intelligence, open-mindedness, courtesy and morality.
In response to:
I knew law students who thought that an order like this would be legal, and who thought it would be illegal to let the kid pray. That doesn't mean it happened the way the kid thought it did, and it doesn't mean the school authorized the teacher to say it. It seems to me the principal took the correct approach: 1. We looked into this. 2. We can't say that it happened, but it could have. 3. If a teacher did say that to your daughter, the teacher was violating school policy. 4. We are reminding all our teachers that kids have the right to pray. Given all that, a noisy withdrawal, or a demand for an apology, strike me as an overreaction.
Good article, Shawn, but I think you mean children of Yishmael (or Ishmael), not Esau.
Because there is no teshuvah after death.
Wrong. If you took the trouble to actually read the Biblical account, you would know that "too many human beings" had nothing to do with it, and that G*d took action because of wide spread violence and moral corruption. If you then expand your research to traditional Jewish sources, you would learn that the corruption included dishonesty over amounts too small to rectify in court, inter-species breeding, sexual license, and marriages between men.
No less a liberal icon than Angela Davis has said that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, an avowed eugenist, was a racist. Others disagree. But she did consider blacks and immigrants to be inferior. She favored the use of birth control, and in some cases involuntary sterilization, to control the population growth of groups ththat she saw as undesirbales. http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=1953 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger#Eugenics
Same here, although I didn't bother seeing Elysium either. How the director can attribute infanticide to someone that the Bible describes as "a righteous man, perfect in his generation" is more than I can figure.
Well said. I doubt that it will have any affect on Darby (or whatever name he's posting under this week) but refutinghis hate-filled lies does benefit the open-minded readers.
Darby, your misconceptions about the Talmud have even less substance than tales about the Little People.
In response to:
Embarrassing, yes. But the chances of Conservatives in the audience shouting him down are next to nil, no?
In response to:
One hundred percent correct. But I hope Dr. Adams is not implying that I would be justified in brandishing a firearm, let alone using it, to keep the squeegee man from scratching my car. In most states, one cannot use or threaten deadly force except to prevent death or serious injury to yourself or another.The average citizen who points a gun at someone to keep from having a car scratched is asking for a prison sentence.

Looks like wanner bros is placing false copyright claims on all the Gangster Squad trailers
»www.latimes.com/entertainment/en···10.storyThey should just delay the release if they must, but to remake part of the movie is overreaction.--Moe, I need your advice
See I've got this friend named Joey Joe-Joe... Junior... Shabadoo..
Huh? They own the picture and they can pull their trailers in any way they see fit....
Yes but they should have put was pulled by user instead of copyright claim.
I think Warner Brothers is doing it because of this: »apnews.myway.com/article/2012072···JO0.html
quote:Warner Bros. also moved to pull trailers for its upcoming movie "Gangster Squad" from showings of "The Dark Knight Rises." The trailer of the film, which stars Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling in a ruthless war between '40s Los Angeles police and the mob, includes a scene of mobsters firing into a movie theater from behind the screen.
Except is was not pulled by the user....
A copyright holder wants its material removed from YouTube.Under the DMCA, YouTube is required to remove first, ask later. Therefore, it is removed.Is the use of this material covered by Fair Use? No. Not in this case. Therefore, it remains removed.Not seeing how it's a false claim.--Think Outside the Fox.

- The Good News: How Quitting Smoking and Tobacco Products Can Help Your Health
- Help with Quitting
- Taking Care of Yourself
We now know that smoking and using smokeless tobacco products like dip, snuff, or chew can seriously harm your health. We also know that quitting smoking or other tobacco products can stop, and in some cases reverse, these harmful effects.
While quitting smoking or smokeless tobacco is not easy, it is often the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health. You can do it – and there are many resources available to help you.
Smoking, Tobacco Use, and HIV
Cigarette smoking is a dangerous habit even for those in perfect health. However, the risks involved with smoking seem to be greater for those living with HIV (HIV+). Unfortunately, studies show that HIV+ people are much more likely to smoke than those who are HIV-negative. In years past, many people living with HIV did not worry about the serious illnesses that smoking might cause because they did not expect to be alive long enough to get them. Now that HIV+ people are living longer, healthier lives, it is important to pay attention to issues that affect their long-term health.
Smoking cigarettes may affect HIV in several ways:
- Less successful HIV drug therapy: researchers think smoking may cause HIV drugs not to work as well as they should
- More likely to experience side effects of HIV drugs
- Lower CD4 counts
- Greater chance of developing opportunistic infections (OIs)
- Higher rates of HIV transmission: damage to blood vessels caused by smoking can create tiny cuts in the mouth, making it easier for the smoker to get HIV from another person
The Bad News: How Smoking and Tobacco Use Can Hurt Your Health
All forms of tobacco are harmful and addictive. This includes cigarettes, pipes, and cigars as well as smokeless tobacco products such as snuff and chewing tobacco (also known as chew or dip). Smoking affects every system in the body. Some of tobacco's harmful effects are caused by nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco, while others are caused by any of the 250 toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke. In the short run, smoking raises your blood pressure and heart rate. However, most of the serious negative effects of smoking take years to develop and most commonly include cancer, heart disease, and lung problems.
Smoking and Heart Disease
Smoking is very bad for your heart. Smoking causes your blood vessels to constrict, or get smaller. This reduces oxygen flow to the rest of your body, raises your blood pressure, and makes your heart work harder.
Many HIV+ people have high levels of lipids (fats or fat-like substances) such as cholesterol and/or triglycerides in their blood because of HIV disease and certain HIV drugs (see The Well Project's article on hyperlipidemia). If you have too much cholesterol in your blood it can build up in your arteries, forming plaque.
Smoking also makes your blood vessels stickier. These smaller, stickier blood vessels are more likely to get clogged with plaque than healthy blood vessels. Clogged blood vessels can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Smoking uses up your body's levels of vitamins and minerals called antioxidants. These micronutrients are responsible for protecting the body against heart disease and cancer.
Smoking and Cancer
Of the several thousand chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 69 are known to cause cancer.
Most people know that there is a strong link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Lung cancer is very serious and usually fatal. Compared to non-smokers, smoking increases women's risk of lung cancer by 13 times – and men's by 23 times.
Scientists are not sure why, but lung cancer is much more common in HIV+ smokers than HIV-negative smokers. It is thought that HIV drugs may play a role in increasing lung cancer risk, or that HIV attacking the immune system may leave the body less able to fight off cancer.
In addition to lung cancer, smokers are also at higher risk for:
- Cervical cancer
- Uterine cancer
- Cancer of the mouth, throat, voice box, and many more
Smoking and Lung Disease
Smoking damages the small air sacs in the lung called alveoli. It is therefore the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking can also make asthma worse, and can increase the risk of respiratory infections. This is especially important for people with low CD4 counts.
Smoking and Opportunistic Infections
The rates of opportunistic infections (OIs) in the HIV+ population have dropped drastically since people began using combinations of HIV drugs. But studies are showing that smokers are more likely to get certain OIs than non-smokers. Smoking has been shown to increase your risk for developing:
- Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
- Tuberculosis (TB)
- Cryptococcal meningitis
- Thrush
- Cervical cancer
- Anal cancer
Smoking and Women
There are additional concerns that women who smoke may face. First of all, smoking increases the likelihood that a woman will have trouble getting pregnant. It also decreases a man's sperm count and leads to abnormally-shaped sperm. If a woman smokes during pregnancy, she increases the chances of miscarriage, prematurity (born too early), having a low birth weight baby, and stillbirth (born dead). Researchers believe that smoking may also increase a woman's chances of giving HIV to her baby during delivery.
Children born to women who smoked during pregnancy or are exposed to smoke in the home (second-hand smoke) are more likely to develop sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Children who are around parents who smoke are more likely to suffer from asthma, colds, and ear infections.
Also, smoking is a major risk factor for osteoporosis (bone disease). This is in addition to the risk of bone disease already associated with being HIV+ and being a woman.
Finally, smoking can put a damper on your love life by causing impotence (inability to maintain an erection) in men who smoke or breathe secondhand smoke.
The Good News: How Quitting Smoking and Tobacco Products Can Help Your Health
No matter how long you have been smoking, quitting can greatly improve your health. Within 24 hours your blood pressure and heart rate drop, and your risk of heart attack and stroke begin to go down. Within several months, you can have better circulation and lung function. Over several years, you can greatly reduce your risk of lung cancer and heart disease. Women who quit at age 35 will live an estimated eight years longer than continuing smokers. People who quit at age 50 are half as likely to die early of smoking-related causes than those who continue to smoke.
Quitting smoking or going tobacco-free has other benefits as well:
- Improved sense of smell and taste
- Healthier-looking skin
- Whiter teeth, healthier gums, and fresher breath
- Increased ability to participate in physical activities (exercise, playing with your children, home projects)
- Economic savings: no more money spent on tobacco products; money saved on health insurance premiums
- No more restrictions: as more places ban smoking (restaurants, airports, malls, parks), smoke-friendly spaces are harder to find
Help with Quitting
There are several things that are helpful to understand if you are thinking about quitting smoking or smokeless tobacco. The first has to do with why it is so hard to quit and to stick with it once you have quit. Nicotine is a naturally occurring substance in the tobacco plant. It is addictive, just like heroin and cocaine. After smoking regularly for some time, people become physically and emotionally dependent on nicotine. In order for quitting to work, both the physical and emotional dependency must be addressed.
The physical dependence causes uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, impatience, restlessness, trouble concentrating, dizziness, trouble sleeping, depression, headaches, and increased appetite. These symptoms usually are at their worst two to three days after quitting and gradually get better over several weeks. It may be easier to stay quit if you know in advance how you may feel and how long you may feel that way. There are ways to ease these symptoms that are listed below.
Overcoming the emotional dependence on tobacco use can be just as difficult for some people trying to quit. For many, smoking becomes a part of their daily routine, whether it is a means of relaxing or handling anxiety, boredom, or stress. Often, smoking or using smokeless tobacco is associated with triggers – particular emotions (e.g., anxiety) or activities (e.g., having a cup of coffee, socializing with friends) that give you the urge to smoke. Knowing your triggers and how to avoid them can be a key part of successful quitting.
Experts understand that quitting smoking and smokeless tobacco products is not just a matter of willpower. It is important to discuss your plan to quit with your health care provider. She or he should be encouraging, identify local resources, and suggest appropriate medical therapies to help you quit. There are several tools available to help you quit:
- Nicotine replacement therapy: this is used to help ease withdrawal symptoms while breaking the smoking habit. Afterwards, the dose is gradually reduced and eventually stopped. Nicotine replacement therapy is available in several forms:
- Transdermal patches (Habitrol, Nicoderm, Nicotrol): patches are worn on the arm or torso, and nicotine is absorbed through the skin
- Gum (Nicorette): nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth; recommended dose is dependent on the amount of tobacco used
- Lozenges (Commit): hard candy that is sucked slowly and absorbed through the lining of the mouth
- Inhaler: a puff from the inhaler puts nicotine into a vapor that is absorbed in the mouth; some smokers find it helpful that this method is the most like smoking a cigarette; available by prescription only
- Nasal spray: spray of nicotine into nostrils; available by prescription only
- Anti-smoking medications:
- Zyban (buproprion): also an anti-depressant named Wellbutrin (at a different dose), this drug reduces the urge to smoke; available by prescription only
- Chantix (varenicline): reduces withdrawal symptoms and the pleasure associated with smoking; available by prescription only
- Acupuncture: an alternative therapy that involves placing very small needles around the outer ear to reduce cravings and promote relaxation
- Hypnosis: or hypnotherapy, involves reaching a state of deep relaxation in which one is open to suggestions for behavioral change (such as quitting smoking)
- Counseling and Support: many people find it helpful to have professional counseling or the organized support of others when quitting. Many places have organized support groups and smoking cessation classes (see your local chapter of the American Lung Association or American Cancer Society).
There are also telephone counseling services and hotlines, as well as Internet blogs and support groups. The National Cancer Institute has a hotline that can give you expert advice from smoking cessation counselors. The number is toll-free and available from 8am to 8pm Eastern Time: 1-877-44U-QUIT (1-877-448-7848). You can also call 1-800-QUITNOW (1-800-784-8669) to reach smoking cessation counselors in your state. These counselors may have information about state-specific resources to help you with your plan to quit smoking.
You deserve to be supported through this difficult change. Talk to your health care provider and choose the method(s) that work best for you.
Taking Care of Yourself
Cigarette smoking is a health risk that you control, and quitting smoking is probably the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health. Smoking is a hard habit to break. It gets more difficult the longer and more that you smoke. If you tried to quit before and began smoking again, do not worry. It takes many people several tries before they quit for good. If you feel you are unable to quit, just cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke can be beneficial to your health. Even though giving up smoking may be one of the hardest things you ever do, it can also be one of the best things you do for yourself, your health, your finances, and your family and friends.

Friday - 4/13/2012, 11:12am EDT
One hundred years have passed since the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic. This week, the Government Printing Office is highlighting transcripts of a century-old Senate probe to get to the bottom of the disaster. Many of these documents are available in libraries across the country.
"We can showcase the value and significance of that these historical documents that these libraries manage and make available freely to the American public as part of their collections," said GPO's Superintendent of Documents Mary Alice Baish.
She told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Friday that the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic has renewed public interest in the event and its aftermath.

Network » Public Transport Guide
Public transport in the city of Poznań is organized by Zarząd Transportu Miejskiego (ZTM) - Urban Transport Authority. ZTM is responsible for determining the communication lines, location of stops, distribution of tickets, ticket inspection and promotion.
Network managed by ZTM is limited to the area of Poznań city, with a few lines exceeding city boundaries. Services for ZTM provide 4 operators, including the biggest - MPK w Poznaniu Sp. z o. o. (Urban Transport Company in Poznań). ZTM tickets are valid only on the lines managed by ZTM. Other bus lines, as well as railway services, do not belong to the transport system managed by ZTM and require separate tickets.
The public transport system in Poznań consists of tram and bus network.
Tram network plays an important role in the public transport system. The city policy assumes that the city center is operated only by trams. Car access to certain streets is restricted. There is 19 normal tram lines (numbered 1-26) and one night tram line (N21).
Tram on line 16 to Os. Lecha
Bus fleet consists of over 300 vehicles and is one of the most modern in Poland. All vehicles are low-floored, many are air-conditioned and monitored.
There is 52 normal bus lines (numbered 45-98), 1 express bus lines (L), 23 suburban lines (numbered 511, 512, 527, 602, 603, 610, 611, 614, 616, 651, 701, 702, 703, 710, 716, 718, 719, 901, 902, 904, 905, 907, 911) and 21 night bus lines (numbered 231-252).
Bus on line 69 to Os. Kopernika
Poznań's public transport with its network, timetables and tariff is unique in Poland. Trams are the core of the system - most of lines have a frequency of 10 minutes. Bus lines play a complementary role to the tram network. This solution encourage passengers to transfers, offering them, instead of low frequency direct connections, high frequency connections with transfers. Thus the network is less extensive and complicated to passengers.
Short-term and long-term tickets enable unlimited transfers, but what about occasional travels? Poznań was the first Polish city which introduced time tickets. They are essential in the system, because time ticket's holder after validating it, is able to travel all the time specified on the ticket, using different bus or tram lines within the ZTM network. Single-ride tickets are valid only in the vehicle they were validated at. Because of the transfer-based system, time tickets are relatively cheaper than single-ride tickets.
Before getting on board, you have to buy a ticket. Tickets are sold in kiosks, shops, supermarkets and ZTM Customer Service Points. There are also 50 ticket machines located in main stops.
There are 5 types of tickets:
- time tickets - are valid in buses and trams for the time that is specified on the ticket,
- single-ride tickets - are valid only in buses for the number of stops that is specified on ticket (up to 10 or more than 10),
- short-time tickets - 24h, 48h, 72h or 7 days - enable unlimited travelling all services during specified time,
- short-time group tickets - 24h, 48h or 72h - enable unlimited travelling all services during specified time for up to 5 persons including max two adults,
- long-time tickets - 30 days and more - enable unlimited travelling all services during specified time; tickets can by only loaded onto an electronic ticket card called KOMKarta.
Ticked prices are determined by the type of the ticked and tariff zone, where ticket is valid. There are 3 tariff zones.
After boarding passengers are obligated to validate their tickets in the validating machine, immediately after vehicle starts running (does not apply to long-time tickets on ticket cards). The ticket is valid for a specified time. After exceeding that time passengers must validate another ticket.
NOTICE: Real time of the ride is counted (not schedule time).

But Romo always has been able to point to his numbers to back up his play.

It is different than talking to your gramma and her friends, those people know you.I like the idea about hiring an older person to greet/schedule, that's what their lab did so the subjects' first encounter was with another older individual, which seemed to make them comfortable.
For one thing, they might think about hiring an older adult to do the scheduling for older adults. Realize that they may move slower, but that does not mean they are not still cognitively sharp. Be respectful. sometimes this is hard for younger students to remember because many have not been raised to say Mr. Jones or Mrs (Ms) Parker or sir or mame . Do not call them by their first name unless they have given you the permission to do so. I think that may be the most important. Also, be cognizant of your language and speech. If they are talking to a 20 year old who says like and ya know all the time, they may not respect that student very much and choose not to continue in the lab. Don't rush them. They are giving you their time, act accordingly. Do not be afraid to talk to the older adults, you would be amazed at some of their stories and how genuinely funny they are.

This wasn't what I expected it to be at all. The story began quite serenely then delved into deeper, troubled fields. An Irish family, the only boy among five sisters is trying to cope with pretty trying obstacles - bullying, terminal illness, first love, unwanted love. Give it a listen, it's well worth it.
Another hidden gem here, not having had any interest in history, audible has further boosted my learning with this tale of two fellow Scots moving to Montana.
We learn of their heartbreaking battles with the climate and the demands of mother nature on body and mind. Your dreamy picture of a sunny Montana is harshly sullied by the bleak depictions of the winters. A real eyeopener, you'll love it and its characters.
This is my favourite listen of the year so far.
We are introduced to the McCullough family and a narrator covers each generation with each chapter. I particularly enjoyed Will Patton's reading of Eli, the ten year old kidnapped by Commanche Indians. The thing I noticed was that we are always told how terribly the Native American Indians were treated, and this is pointed out here; but we are also shown how the Indians retaliated and this was pretty graphic and brutal.
The story veers close to Dallas territory when oil is introduced, but luckily doesn't morph into soap opera theatrics. Give it a go and travel from 1840 to present day, you'll love it!

Wildfitness Coaches' Training, 01-05 June 2014
What you will get from the Wildfitness Coaches Training
All coaches who work with Wildfitness are required to attend this four day course regularly. Due to demand and because we want to spread the Wild word, we are now offering a limited number of places to paying people who are not currently working with Wildfitness. Because we have more applicants than places we ask you to fill out an Application Form so that we can choose people we think will get the most out of our courses and that may be useful to refer our clients to in the future. The four days are designed to give our coaches:
- A paradigm shift from conventional wisdom to a new outlook on fitness that is inspired by evolutionary science and nature.
- The technical and scientific theory used by Wildfitness based on evolutionary science and observations of nature.
- Some practical outdoor training in nature to bring alive the 'Wildfitness experience'
Please note, the 4 day Wildfitness Coaches' Training focuses on the theory and technical teachings of Wildfitness. However, the incredible natural beauty of the location in Andalucía means that we will also have plenty of opportunity for outdoor practical learning.
At the end of the course, participants will feel comfortable:
- to assess and teach bare-foot running, lifting technique and basic boxing (fighting) to clients
- to offer nutritional advice based on evolutionary theory
- to set up and teach basic 'combos' as inspired by Erwan Le Corre and explore other parkour techniques
- to teach a few simple methods of 'play' as inspired by Frank Forencich
- to teach pole-work as a method for mobilisation and increasing flexibility
- to feel inspired by and confident to teach people outdoors using the natural elements around them
- to be able to teach basic methods of perception and balance
- having a philosophy that will allow coaches to work out themselves whether a movement, supplement, diet or other fitness method is sound and beneficial
- to get results with clients whether that be injury prevention and relief, or changes in body composition and changes in motivation where a coach may have been struggling before
- to teach a range of natural movements that will see your clients recover from injuries, feel motivated and change body composition
- To feel confident to teach a whole new approach to health and fitness
Course Instructors - to be confirmed
The course will be taught by Tara Wood (Wildfitness Founder), Colin Holding (Wildfitness Senior Coach) and Anne-Laure Pelletier (Wildfitness Senior Coach).
Tara Wood
Tara designed the original Wildfitness courses in 2001 and has continued to develop them over the past 10 years with the help of the best minds in evolutionary fitness. She continues to develop the philosophy and bring in new elements to the Wild experience. Tara will be delivering the fundamentals behind the Wildfitness philosophy. Tara has featured in and written for numerous publications over the years and Wildfitness has won various awards, including being listed as one of the Top 10 Fitness Vacations in the World.
Colin Holding
Colin has a background in professional sport and is facinated by movement. Colin's particular expertise lies in play, to encourage natural movement and in devising 'flows' that fit new environments using rocks, walls, trees, logs etc. Colin has trained extensively with Lee Saxby and also with Erwan Le-Corre, Frank Forencich, and Nicholas Romanov and is in charge of co-ordinating Wildfitness course delivery internationally. Colin has been described as one of the UK's leading experts in evolutionary fitness and has featured in the Guardian, Times and on TalkSport Radio.
Anne-Laure Pelletier
Anne-Laure has taken new and evolving 'Wild theory' and put it into practise with 'real people' in the natural environment of Wildfitness locations. Anne-Laure has a huge amount of experience with conveying new concepts and wild movements to people who might be sedentary, gym fit, road running fit, body shape focused or present other challenges that are common in urban-dwelling modern humans. Having taken several hundred clients through the Wildfitness transformative experience, Anne-Laure is one of the most experienced teachers in the field of natural fitness today. Anne-Laure also trains new apprentice Wildfitness coaches.
No pre-requisites are necessary to participate in the course, but as we are often oversubscribed, we do prioritise the applications of those who may be interested in working as a Wild coach and have the skills for this. All the information we teach in this course is based on logic and what we observe in nature. However, some idea of human physiology and anatomy can be very helpful when learning the science behind how our bodies work.
It is also important to note that teaching movement takes practice and experience, so if you already have experience teaching movement you will be able to implement what you learn immediately with clients. If you are new to teaching movement then it will take some time and you will become more and more effective as you practice.
Will you gain a qualification?
Participants on the course will be given a certificate of attendance. Please note that this certificate does not come with the title of 'Wildfitness coach', this is only allocated to apprentices once they have spent several months working with Wildfitness on location.

Dems Cut Trade Deal with Bush; Poised to Throw American Workers Under Bus
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Just 100 days after the Democrats rode into Washington on a fair trade mandate, shock has morphed into rage over last Thursday's surprise announcement by the Bush administration, Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Ways and Means and Finance Committee Chairs Charles Rangel and Max Baucus, and a coterie of New Democrats and CAFTA 15'ers of a " Deathstar Deal" on trade. The deal could facilitate passage of various awful, pending Bush "free trade agreements" (FTAs), not to mention the danger it may pose to Democrats who go along with its terms. (See here and here for the blow by blow.)
Not one labor, environmental, small business, public health or consumer group supports the deal. Huge corporations praised it -- they see it as essential to the passage of more corporate trade agreements. Among these monied voices was the Chamber of Commerce president, who celebrated the deal's unveiling with a statement in which he said he was psyched about "assurances" he had received that the deal's labor provisions " cannot be read to require compliance" with international labor standards.
Why would Democrats pass a politically poisonous trade deal with the Bush administration instead of launching their own proactive trade agenda? Why not propose a forward-looking strategy that could satisfy public demand for new trade rules that tackle the stability-threatening trade deficit, stagnant wages and other urgent problems?
Most Democrats are asking the same question. The Deathstar Deal was negotiated in secret, legal texts were not made public, and it was abruptly announced without warning to most Democrats or Democratic base groups.
Reaction from the majority-making House Democratic freshmen, key Democratic members and labor and other party constituents concerned with trade ranged from stunned to horrified. Former Teamster President Jim Hoffa summed up what many were thinking when he said that the Deathstar Deal "sells out American workers" and that his union "will fight like hell to oppose this shortsighted agreement."
White House political czar Karl Rove did not issue a statement, but we bet he was gleeful. If this deal, which so far is only on the conceptual level, results in Congress having to vote on more Bush trade agreements, the political implications are even more cataclysmic than the policy damage. In one blast, this Deathstar Deal could result in the newly Democratic-controlled Congress passing Bush trade agreements by a majority of the minority GOP and a minority of the majority Democrats. This will alienate the Democratic base, split the Democratic Congressional Caucus, blur the distinction on economic issues between the parties à la NAFTA, give President Bush a major victory (and one that gets his foreign policy message off the Iraq disaster), and undermine the re-election chances of the many freshmen Democrats who won races in socially conservative districts campaigning against incumbents' NAFTA-CAFTA voting records.
From the public outline of the text, we know that most of the essential fixes ( PDF), which unions and fair trade groups say are needed to de-NAFTA-ize the Bush trade agreements, were simply ignored in this Deathstar Deal.
The deal does absolutely nothing to address the Bush FTAs' ban on anti-offshoring, Buy America and Buy Local policies. Democrats, labor and statehouses across the country prize these policies as an innovative way to support sustainable local economies. Do senior Dems really want to explain to Americans why they consented to have these jeopardized in foreign trade pacts?
Further, nothing was done to fix the Peru FTA terms that would allow Citibank or other U.S. investors providing "private retirement accounts" to sue Peruvian taxpayers if Peru reverses its failed Social Security privatization. Peru's labor federations consider this FTA provision to be a major impediment to reversing this social catastrophe. Seeing Democrats beat back the Bush proposal here, Peru's labor federations asked Democratic trade leaders to fix this problem unaddressed in the Deathstar Deal.
The Deathstar Deal also does nothing to remove from the Bush FTAs the outrageous NAFTA-CAFTA foreign investor privileges ( PDF) that create incentives for U.S. firms to move offshore and exposes our most basic environmental, health, zoning and other laws to attack in foreign tribunals. (Go here for our longer analysis of the Deathstar Deal's flaws.)
In the next few weeks, we will know if the Deathstar Deal is deactivated or whether it wreaks its ruin. In part, this will rely on whether a "deal" in principle can be translated into reality. For instance, Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats have long stated that the FTAs must be renegotiated to make the agreed changes part of the binding text of the agreements. But post announcement, White House and other GOP officials are now saying that they are not inclined to reopen the texts.
Democrats making this "deal" say it only applies to the Panama and Peru NAFTA expansion agreements, while key Republicans and corporate chieftains say it is the path to granting President Bush new blank-check Fast Track trade authority and passing Colombia and Korea FTAs. (Colombia's right-wing paramilitary-linked government has ruled over the assassination of 400 labor unionists: human rights groups, unions and key Democrats say no way FTA; while the highly problematic Korea FTA, which even some major corporations oppose, would be the highest dollar deal since NAFTA.)
Many hope Speaker Pelosi can save the universe,and help the party and Congress find its way out of the Deathstar Deal. For that to happen, fair traders' demands that the "deal" be rejected need to be channeled to her and other members of Congress NOW.

I put mine to a bnet account when the battle bots came out cuz I'm a sucker for pets. My friend recently had her account compromised and had to be severed from the hacker's bnet account which was a pain. Personally I'm really excited for the new bnet changes; they're taking all the best things from the likes of Xfire, Xbox Live, and Steam and putting their own Blizz perfectionism into it. It's the internet, it's technology, changes happen!
