Ensure Your Third-party Service Providers Follow Policies to Protect Consumer Funds, NPI
|September 2, 2014
While title and settlement companies are encouraged to maintain policies to protect non-public personal information (NPI), businesses also should ensure the third-party service providers that they use comply with an information security program. Title and settlement companies should take reasonable steps to select and retain service providers that are capable of appropriately safeguarding NPI. Vendors that may have electronic or digital access to NPI through information systems and associated resources include:
Additionally, companies should consider the vendors that may have access to NPI in paper-based files, including:
To help ensure a title or settlement company is protected if NPI is stolen from a service provider, vendors and vendor personnel should be provided with a copy of the company's information security policy annually. The policy should be signed acknowledging that the vendor understands the policy and agrees to follow the policy. Banks frequently require at a minimum that their vendors maintain a current service auditor's report using the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) (replacement for the SAS 70 Auditing Standard). Title and settlement companies may want to consider including this in their due diligence with service providers.

EDITORIAL: Support Fire District 5
Fire Protection District 5, also known as Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue, has a very reasonable proposition on the Sept. 14 ballot. It needs an additional 10 cents per thousand to maintain its excellent service to Coupeville and the Central Whidbey area.
Since 2001 when voters implemented the 1 percent rule on property tax increases, the Fire District 5 board has done an excellent job maintaining and even improving services. But in an inflationary economy, an annual income increase limited to 1 percent eventually catches up with you. So it has with Fire District 5, which risks losing the ground it has gained without the nominal 10 cent increase it is seeking.`
The tax hike is in keeping with the spirit of Initiative 747, which instigated the 1 percent limit. The ideas was to make local taxing districts more accountable to the people, rather than imposing a draconian income limit. And in that regard it has worked. Fire District 5 leaders thorougly aired the proposed increase in the community before placing it on the ballot and have worked hard to explain the ballot measure to the voters. In all regards, the Fire District has earned the small tax increase it is seeking.

Samsung clarifies Ice Cream Sandwich update for Galaxy S II, says it posted a wrong date
Yesterday, news broke that Samsung had finally chosen a date to issue the much anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update to the international version of the Galaxy S II. There were obviously plenty of people that were excited about this. But, as it sometimes happens, it looks like someone within Samsung may have gotten a bit too excited about posting a date. Samsung has come forward and announced that the March 10th date is actually incorrect.
More to the point, though, Samsung is still saying that a final date has not been decided upon for the ICS update. So, while there was plenty to be excited about yesterday, owners of the Galaxy S II by Samsung are stuck waiting all over again. There's no word on when the update will be released, and Samsung isn't giving any information away at this point.
As soon as we know more, we'll pass it along.

MOBILE, Alabama -- South Alabama's men's golf team starts its spring season Monday in a strong fashion, hosting the annual Mobile Bay Intercollegiate at Magnolia Grove that begins with 36 holes of play the first day.
The Jaguars are hoping the success and solid play they experienced int he fall season will carry over, despite the face they have not played competitively in three months and that recent weather issues have had an impact on preparation time on the course.
Also, the Jags will be without junior Tyler Klava, who has a strong fall season. he is injured and will not compete in the two-day, 54-hole event on the Crossings Course at Mobile's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail facility.
Still, the Jags have experience on their roster and will lean on those players as they open play Monday.
"Between (seniors) Blake Kelley and Lane Hulse, who have played a tremendous amount in their careers, and (junior) Michael Garretson, who has played every event, we have good leadership at the top and good experience,'' South Alabama head coach Ben Hannan said. "And then the two freshmen we'll be adding to the lineup -- Ryan Pope and Matt Sheehan -- they've both played in events (in the fall) and know what to expect.''
Playing at home is a plus as well, Hannan said.
"Starting at home is certainly a comfort factor, especially working your way into the season,'' he said. "You have a tendency to be more comfortable with the course. You haven't had competition for three months, so to start at home I think takes some pressure off, hopefully.''
A strong field joins the Jags. Auburn (No. 27) and Wake Forest (No. 28) are Top 30 teams, while Kentucky (36) and Memphis (41) are Top 50 teams. South Alabama, Georgia State, Chattanooga, Ole Miss, Middle Tennessee and Davidson are Top 100 teams. The remainder of the field includes Akron, Illinois State, Samford, Southern Miss and Texas State.
"Depth-wise, it's a very solid field. really, there are several teams that could win it,'' Hannan said. "Coming off such a long break, you don't know what to expect. For the majority of the teams, most of them have not played this spring and this is the opener for them, as it is with us. So you're trying to play your way into a rhythm and to get going again.
"The big thing we've talked about is we'll be playing 36 holes (Monday), so we'll be out there for 10 or 11 hours playing golf. It's going to be from sunup and sundown, so we have to make sure we focus on the task at hand and continue to stay in the game for that duration. Sometimes when you haven't been in competition for a while you can make some careless swings and careless bogeys and it can be detrimental to your score. We've really worked hard on mentally preparing.''
There will be a second tournament going on at the same time on the Falls Course at Magnolia Grove -- the USA Individual Tournament. The field for that tournament is made up of players from the participating teams who are not competing in the other tournament.
"This is a unique event because the individual tournament plays opposite the team tournament and we can only do that because of the facility set up at Magnolia Grove where you have two championship golf courses on the same property,'' Hannan said. "Because of that we get a lot of teams who want to play and they bring eight or nine guys.
"Kentucky is a great example. They've been under a foot of snow for weeks. They've got nine guys here who are playing and getting exposure. They came in Friday and have been playing (since arriving) trying to get reps in and getting ready for the season.''
The spring season has arrived for the Jags and their tournament invitees. It begins Monday.
"I certainly have a lot of confidence in this team,'' Hannan said. "Even though we're young, we've got a lot of experience and we have really good leadership. Again, it's been a great group to be a part of. We had a great fall and we're just excited and ready to get going.''

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Eight Staten Islanders have been awarded prestigious Fulbright scholarships, among the nation's highest academic honors.
The Fulbright Scholar Program, the senior scholar component of the 66-year-old Fulbright Program, provides grants for college and university teachers and scholars with international reputations, as well as recent Ph.D.'s who show great potential to conduct research, teach or study abroad. The prestigious Scholar Program promotes academic, cultural and professional development.
Among the Island honorees are Kristina Hodelin of West Brighton, Michael Young of Travis and Robert Bloom of Willowbrook. They will join approximately 2,000 grantees from the United States who will travel abroad for the 2011/12 academic year, thanks to the Fulbright Program.
Ms. Hodelin, who majored in sociology and anthropology at Pace University, is currently in Temerloh, Pahang, Malaysia, teaching English to secondary school students for 11 months. She will be an apprentice to an English teacher and get firsthand experience in a classroom.
"I hope to give my Malaysian students the same dynamic experience that I am having," she said. Ms. Hodelin, who has had a passion for languages and world history ever since she attending Moore Catholic High School, wants to incorporate her skills into whatever she does post-Malaysia.
"My daughter is a warm-natured young lady, who really wants to do the right thing by others," said Jeanine Hodelin. "It really clicked, when she stood up in front of a room of her peers and professors and read an essay she had written for the International Honor Society at her college. She really stole the show, displaying how special she really is."
Award recipient Bloom is now living in Germany, where he is teaching English at Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium in Bergisch Gladbach.
An alumnus of Port Richmond High School, Bloom has traveled to more than 22 foreign countries, which has helped him understand other's people's cultures and educational systems. He graduated from Hunter College in 2010, and plans to put his degree in German language and literature to good use, following his time in Germany, as a teacher or professor.
Port Richmond counts two of its alumni among those receiving the Fulbright honors -- Bloom and his classmate and good friend, Michael Young, who is currently a teaching assistant in Móstoles, Madrid, Spain.
Young attended the Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island, where he was a student ambassador and career mentor. He held internships as an art teacher at the Staten Island Mental Health Society and then at Marvel Comics. He is also the former editor-in-chief of CSI's humor magazine, "Operation Three-Legged Dolphin." Young plans to put his American Studies degree to good use, and teach upon his return from Spain.
"I congratulate the students of Staten Island who were awarded this year's Fulbright scholarship," said Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn). "This is truly a prestigious measure of academic achievement and leadership, and I am very proud to represent such an accomplished group. I wish them the best of luck and much success in their year abroad."
The scholarships are named for Democratic Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, who first sponsored legislation for the program in 1946.
The application process begins in the fall for the coming academic year; applications are reviewed by the United Nations, the respective country and, finally, a committee in Washington appointed by the president of the United States.
Dr. Evelyn Ch'ein of Emerson Hill, Olivia Drabczyk of Great Kills, Stephanie Lin of Huguenot, Athena Loch of Mariners Harbor and Hanan Tabbara of New Dorp Beach are the other borough Fulbright recipients.

ARLINGTON — It's just about football season again and the Arlington Grid Iron Club is hosting its annual Regal Eagle Auction on Saturday, Sept. 7, to raise money for scholarships and equipment to support the Arlington High School football team.

The auction begins at 5 p.m. at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club and attendees must be 21 years or older as tickets include two drink coupons as well as a catered dinner. There will also be a Dessert Dash following the meal.

MUSKEGON — A man was arrested late Thursday afternoon at the Muskegon County courthouse for allegedly leaving an uncased gun in his vehicle.
According to a county official, a concerned caller notified authorities that the man was angry over a custody issue and made threats to "shoot some of the other parties involved."
A description of the man and his vehicle was provided to authorities and when he arrived to the courthouse he was searched. Upon searching his vehicle, authorities located an "uncased gun."
"He had brought it to the county building for unlawful intent" when he attended a child custody hearing at family court, according to a county official.
Additional information about the incident was unknown late Thursday.

MOBILE, Alabama - Two days after they played each other in the latest installment of the rivalry between the two schools, the University of Mobile and Spring Hill College men's and women's basketball teams return to action.
Mobile will entertain Bethel University today, with the women's team playing at 2 p.m. and the men meeting at 4 p.m. in Southern States Athletic Conference West Division games. At Spring Hill, the Badgers will face Belhaven, also at 2 p.m. (women) and 4 p.m. (men).
The UMobile men won their sixth straight game Thursday night in an 84-78 win over Spring Hill at the Badgers' Outlaw Recreation Center. Brandon Morris, named the SSAC Player of the Week on Monday, scored 26 points, 18 in the second half, in leading the Rams to their seventh straight win over the Badgers. Kwame Beard added 17 points and eight rebounds, with Chris Richardson scoring 12 points and offering five assists and Kenny Davison scoring 11 points that included a 3-of-3 showing from 3-point range.
The Rams are now 8-7 overall and 3-3 in SSAC play. Bethel brings an overall record of 7-8 and a SSAC record of 3-3. That ties Mobile and Bethel for fourth place in the SSAC West.
Spring Hill received solid play from six players in the loss to Mobile. Frederick Gaston scored 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Wesley Pietri had 13 points and four rebounds with Jarrett Calhoun and Robert Gipson adding nine points each and Jackson Fos and Robert Drummond scoring eight points each. But the Badgers are now 2-14 overall and 1-5 in SSAC play. Belhaven is 7-8 and 5-2 heading into today's game.
The Mobile women won their fifth straight game in beating Spring Hill 81-62. The Rams are receiving votes for the NAIA Top 25. They are now 12-3 overall and tied for first in the SSAC West with a 6-1 mark. They are led by Deonica McCormick (21.7 points, 3.1 rebounds), Molly Speed (8.2, 2.4). Kali Koenig (6.8, 2.1) and Jakela Johnson (7.1, 5.3). Bethel has records of 12-5 and 5-2 and is ranked No. 13 in the country.
Spring Hill, now 4-11 and 1-6, is led by Sha Sha Buchanan (12.6, 10.9), Bethany Collins (8.8, 2.8), Elissa VandeWaa (8.3, 3.4) and Natalie Harper (7.3, 1.3). Belhaven is 8-9 and 2-5.

The Ravens won the game, but Portland Super Bowl-watchers dressed to the Niners for Sunday's game.
For this week's Street Style, we took to area sports bars in search of stylish sports fans rocking their team's colors in unique ways. The prevailing favorite of Portland football-watchers might have lost the game, but fans of both teams (and one Puppy Bowl supporter) scored in the style department.

Hometown: Woodburn
Occupation: Human resources manager
What I'm wearing: It's a Ray Rice jersey. He used to be a very good player, now he's ok, but I love him. My earrings were a gift from a friend for my birthday. The jeans are from Express. I love them because they're fitting and snug, but stretchy and comfortable.
My Style: I am such a girly-girl, so anything that's stylish. Nothing boring. Lots of heels and boots. Wearing a T-shirt is unusual for me. I only wear it at game time.
On Super Bowl allegiance: I grew up with brothers who were Ravens fans, and I continued watching as an adult. I want the Ravens to win, but I'm not nervous at all. I'm pretty sure they're going to get it. I think all the 49ers fans here know it too.

What I'm wearing: I got my scarf at the Portland Saturday Market. The jacket is from a vintage shop on NW 23rd Avenue. This hat I found on the street. The shirt is also vintage, and the jeans are Joe's Jeans. The necklace is made by one of my best friends. Her business is called Son of a Sailor.
My Style: I wear a lot of vintage. None of my clothes are new. It's all second-hand, vintage, boho.
On the game: I care zero percent about the football game. I came her to watch the Puppy Bowl, but the bartender wouldn't turn it on. I only want the puppies to win, and I think Beyonce is going to win the Super Bowl.

I admit that I was anticipating the Edwin Edwards post-prison, post-halfway house tour as much as any political junkie.
I was ready to marvel at the spectacle of it all -- to laugh at the silver-tongued governor's jokes, to roll my eyes at his politically incorrect sexual innuendos, to revisit the not-so-distant era when Louisiana's politicians were brazenly flamboyant, not earnest and technocratic.
Yet now that Edwards is back in our midst, it feels like something important is missing.
The truth is that Edwards' reemergence after eight years in prison for gambling corruption, as entertaining as it promises to be, would go down a little more easily if it were accompanied by a spoonful of remorse.
As he spoke to reporters last week with his new young fiancee at his side, the 83-year-old Edwards made it clear that he wouldn't be seeking redemption because he doesn't believe he needs it.
"I really feel like I came out of prison more popular than I went in," Edwards said. "I think in some part because people realize that an injustice occurred and that I handled it like a man."
An injustice?
Sorry, Governor. I don't think a lot of people realize any such thing. Not even the ones who still have a soft spot for you and certainly not the ones who are in it for the show. Just because people are fascinated, that doesn't mean they've forgotten that during his fourth term in office he essentially sold state-issued riverboat casino licenses.
Edwards has acknowledged some fault in the past, but despite a jury verdict to the contrary, he's stopped far short of admitting criminality.
In his epilogue to an authorized biography by Leo Honeycutt III, Edwards wrote that he was guilty of "arrogance," of "mixing too much personal business with government," of "not taking more personal responsibility of my questioned actions at the time" and of "letting some shady folks get close to me.
"I see that that rubbed off on me and gained me the moniker of crook, guilt by association," he argued, and that was enough for prosecutors, who he claimed were out to get him and his family.
Honestly, Edwards might want to consider following the lead of former City Councilman Oliver Thomas, who pleaded guilty to accepting bribes, did his time and retook the public stage -- literally -- playing himself before the fall in a popular autobiographical play at Anthony Bean Community Theater and on HBO's "Treme."
Of course, plenty of people are appalled that Thomas is profiting from his notoriety. They can't forgive the damage he did to Louisiana's reputation and don't have much interest in forgetting. The same would go for Edwards, who's also eyeing a future on television, no matter what he does.
But what has earned Thomas a second chance in some circles has been his willingness to own up to his misdeeds. Dramatic license notwithstanding, the Oliver Thomas on stage and television was the one who knows he let people down, not some alternate version who still claims he was wronged.
This stance seems more in line with what the late Gov. Dave Treen might have suggested, had he lived to see Edwards released. Treen lobbied former President George W. Bush to commute Edwards' sentence, but he argued that his old rival had already paid a high price for his transgressions, not that the transgressions didn't happen in the first place.
If contrition is too much to ask, maybe Edwards could at least show a little more respect for the legal system that brought him down.
As the former governor well knows, the more gracious of politicians react to defeat by simply noting that the voters have spoken and leaving it at that. Defendants on the losing end of jury verdicts can say the same thing. You can disagree with a legal decision and still acknowledge its legitimacy.
In fact, one could even argue that that, too, is part of handling it like a man.

Level I Fieldwork
According to the Standards for an Accredited Educational Program for the Occupational Therapist, Level I Fieldwork is defined as the following:
The goal of Level I fieldwork is to introduce students to the fieldwork experience, to apply knowledge to practice, and to develop understanding of the needs of clients (2012).
Students in the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy program participate in three Level I fieldwork experiences as part of each of the Practice Immersion courses (Adult Physical Rehabilitation, Mental Health and Pediatrics). The first two occur during the fall and spring semesters in the first year of the professional program. The final Level I experience occurs during the fall semester of the second year of the professional program. The objective of Level I fieldwork is for students to develop beginning level observation and communication skills, and an understanding of the client/resident/patient needs (Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education®, December 2010), and to gain exposure to a variety of practice settings.
Typically, the timeframe for Level I fieldwork completion is as follows:
- One full day per week in a practice setting related to the Practice Immersion course for ten weeks.
- One full-time week at the same facility during the fourth or fifth week of the experience.
Fieldwork seminar meetings will be held after each Level I fieldwork experience. Following the successful completion of Level I fieldwork, the student is eligible to move on to Level II fieldwork positions.
Fieldwork Site Settings and Locations
There are a variety of practice settings in which students may be placed for Level I fieldwork. Some examples include:
- Hospital Based Physical Disabilities
- Skilled Nursing Facilities
- Outpatient clinics/programs
- Clinic Based Pediatrics
- School Based Pediatrics
- Hospital Based Pediatrics
- Hippotherapy
- Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals
- Community Based Mental Health Agencies
- Lifestyle Redesign Programs & Wellness
- Upper Extremity Rehabilitation & Hand Therapy
Flex Schedules
Some fieldwork sites have flex schedules. The student will be expected to assume the schedule of his/her fieldwork educator during the fieldwork experience.
Professional behavior development is highlighted during Level I fieldwork. Organization, engagement in the fieldwork experience, professionalism, interpersonal communication, cultural sensitivity, professional reasoning, and participation in the supervisory process are self-assessed by the student midway through the Level I experience and again at the end, and are formally assessed by the supervising fieldwork educator at the end of the fieldwork experience. The completed Professional Development Feedback form is reviewed by the student and fieldwork educator and returned to the practice immersion course instructor and the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator. In the event of an unsatisfactory report, the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator and student create a professional development plan.

Cheerleaders' Wild Weekend - DVD
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Nov 24, 2009This smarmy exploitation film from director Jeff Werner posits a busload of cheerleaders kidnapped for a two million dollar ransom by some ex-jocks who take them to a remote cabin. This is another one of those movies where none of the characters behave like real people. Forced to strip by their captors, the cheerleaders (from three rival high-schools) let their competitive spirit get the best of them and are soon giggling and preening naked in a gunpoint beauty-pageant. One of the captors is a "sensitive guy" (Robert Houston of The Hills Have Eyes), which he proves by masturbating in the doorway while a female kidnapper molests one cheerleader in a bathtub. Kristine DeBell stars as a captive who falls for ringleader Jason Williams before the ludicrous finale involving a complicated hotel ransom-drop and a cheerleader swinging a chainsaw. This is an extremely tacky film, even for its subgenre, but it probably started off much worse. Some racial epithets have obviously been removed by re-dubbing, and what appears to have been a fairly graphic rape scene has been excised. What remains is neither innocuous enough to be funny or sick enough to be a cult film. The only things that make this picture worth seeing are the cast and the frequent topless scenes. Serious drive-in devotees will recognize Shell Kepler of the teen-angst classic Homework, as well as stars DeBell and Williams, who also appeared in the X-rated Alice in Wonderland for this film's producer, onetime porn director Bill Osco (Mona, the Virgin Nymph).. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

ESCANABA - The Delta County Board of Commissioners officially adopted the budget for fiscal year 2012-13 at its Tuesday meeting.
According to Delta County Administrator Nora Viau, this year's general fund includes a balanced budget of $9,193,308 - which is down nearly $800,000 from two years ago.
The board passed multiple routine budgetary motions at the meeting. During a motion to adopt the budget, Commissioner Dave Moyle voiced his concerns about the funding of the prosecutor's office.
The prosecutor's office has addressed the board in the past about understaffing issues.
The board had previously approved former retired office manager Carol Kinnart to return to the office two days a week to help relieve the workload in the prosecutor's office.
"Noting my gratitude for the work that administration has done ... and respecting the opinions of the members of this board, I have my opinions on the prosecutor's office and what I think they're going to be facing because of a deteriorating society," said Moyle, during the meeting. He said he believes the office needs to be funded to a higher level.
Elegeert explained that he, Viau, and prosecutor's office representatives have met to resolve the matter.
"Their budget is adequate," said Elegeert. "However, they do want some more money for Ms. Kinnart and there is a method in which they can get it, but they need to work towards increasing their grant. They understand that and they have the ability to do it, and they're willing to accept that."
According to Viau following the meeting, the prosecutor's office has already sent in its original grant application, which is being processed. They now must wait until it's approved to get an amendment to request the additional funding for their office. She also noted the office is looking at increasing reimbursements for some of the case work they do for abuse cases and neglect cases to help with funding.
After hearing this update, the board voted to approve the 2012-13 budget by a unanimous vote of 5 to 0.

He's the new face of Belstaff.
When David Beckham retired from soccer earlier this year, hanging up those adorable cleats embroidered with the names of his wife and children, it seemed a given that he'd use his extra time to pursue more fashion projects. He fulfilled our wishes by dutifully posing shirtless for his fourth David Beckham Bodywear ads for H&M (sadly, no butt shots this time around), fannying around at fashion parties, and looking cute in Victoria Beckham's front row. But surely that couldn't be all?
Yesterday, British label Belstaff announced that Beckham had signed a contract to be their latest face, just in time for him to show up at their London Fashion Week party and pose seductively next to motorbikes parked on the floor of their new flagship store. (It's really too bad they didn't have him roar into the store, Rob Halford-style. What a missed opportunity.) Anyway, the campaign was shot in the English countryside by Peter Lindbergh on Saturday, WWD reports. Sadly for us, his tattooed torso will be sheathed in one of the brand's leather jackets.
And not that anyone needs a real reason to enjoy pictures of Beckham straddling a powerful engine, but it turns out that he spends a fair amount of time on motorbikes. The best part about it is that no one recognizes him: "When you're out there, no one knows that it's you. You have a full-face helmet on, so you enjoy just being alone," he tells WWD. And no, Victoria doesn't join him. "She's never ridden with me, and I don't think she will," he said. "Obviously with four children, trying to get her on the bike is difficult." (But he has four children, too ... )

Looking Back at the Abreu Trade
There have been countless moves to get the Phillies to back-to-back World Series.
One of them came July 30, 2006, when the Phillies traded Bobby Abreu and Cory Lidle to the Yankees for Matt Smith, C.J. Henry, Carlos Monasterios and Jesus Sanchez. If you look at the talent exchanged, the trade came out poorly for the Phillies. Smith and Henry are out of baseball, and the Mets selected Monasterios with the seventh pick in December's Rule 5 Draft.
Only Sanchez remains, but the Phillies are optimistic after converting him from a catcher to a pitcher. In his first season as a pitcher, Sanchez went 10-6 with a 3.44 ERA in 26 games last year for Single A Lakewood. He impressed the Phillies enough that they protected him from the Rule 5 by placing him on the 40-man roster.
But the Phillies made the trade not because they were in love with Smith, Henry, Monasterios and Sanchez. They made the trade because the nucleus they had in place had not won, and Pat Gillick wanted to make a change. They traded Abreu to clear salary and change the atmosphere in the clubhouse.
The trade allowed the Phillies to play Shane Victorino in right field the remainder of the season, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley to assert themselves as leaders in the clubhouse, and indirectly sign Utley and Brett Myers to contract extensions in the offseason because Abreu had been set to make $16.5 million in 2007 with a $16 million club option with a $2 million buyout in 2008.
"It came out all right," Gillick said. "I'm happy with it."
The Zo Zone is on Facebook and Twitter. His book "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Philadelphia Phillies" is available online, and at most Delaware Valley bookstores NOW!
Phillies Take Two Pitchers in Rule 5 Draft
The Phillies selected two pitchers this morning in the Rule 5 Draft.
They first selected right-hander Kenneth David Herndon with the 17th pick. Herndon, 24, went 5-6 with a 3.03 ERA and 11 saves in 50 appearances last season with Double-A Arkansas, which is the Los Angeles Angels affiliate. It will be difficult for Herndon to make the 25-man roster if the Phillies accomplish what they hope to accomplish in free agency, but he least provides the Phillies inventory in Spring Training.
"We've seen him for about three or four years, but our guys really got on him in Winter Ball this year," Phillies pro scouting coordinator Mike Ondo said.
Herndon went 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA in 16 appearances in the Dominican Republic.
"Maybe if he makes the club he can give us two innings out of the bullpen," Ondo said.
The Phillies lost right-hander Carlos Monasterios to the New York Mets in the draft. (The Mets then traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers.) The Phillies acquired Monasterios in the Bobby Abreu trade in 2006. That leaves right-hander Jesus Sanchez, who converted from a catcher to a pitcher, as the only holdover from the trade.
The Phillies also selected right-hander Angelo Sanchez in the Triple A portion of the draft. Sanchez, 20, went 5-1 with a 5.52 ERA in 12 starts with rookie-level Elizabethton, which is a Minnesota Twins affiliate.

Sad news about San Diego Opera. In a surprising move, the 49-year-old company announced Wednesday that it will close at the end of the current season, citing financial reasons including a tough fundraising environment and weak ticket sales.
"Over the last of several years, we have lost a number of prominent
contributors, frequently because of death, but especially during the
recent economic downturn," Ian Campbell, the company's general director, told the Los Angeles Times.
He said ticket sales have also been declining.
"The demand for opera in this city isn't high enough," he said.Like Portland Opera, San Diego had cut the number of productions per season to four from five, and reduced the number of performances. It had also laid off some of its staff, which stands at 40.
San Diego joins other opera companies that have closed in recent years, including New York City Opera, Connecticut Opera, Baltimore Opera, Cleveland Opera, Mercury Opera, Opera Pacific and Spokane Opera.

MOBILE, Alabama -- St. Luke's Episcopal School has announced that Mike Notaro will be its new headmaster, succeeding Palmer Kennedy.
Notaro has been the headmaster at Brookwood School in Thomasville, Ga., since 2006, according to a news release from St. Luke's. He has 38 years of experience in academic and athletic administration, teaching and coaching, the news release said.
He will take the reins at St. Luke's on June 1.
Before he was hired at Brookwood, Notaro served as associate headmaster, interim headmaster, athletic director and in other administrative duties at Tuscaloosa Academy in Tuscaloosa, the release said. He has also worked for the University of Alabama in multiple academic and athletic jobs, including adjunct instructor in the Department of Kinesiology, program chair and assistant professor for the College of Education and administrator for the Crimson Tide Athletic Department, as well as a recruiting coordinator and assistant baseball coach.
Notaro earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Florida and a master's degree from the University of Alabama.
Last November, Kennedy announced that he'd accepted a job as headmaster of Advent Episcopal School in Birmingham. He is staying at St. Luke's through the end of the 2013 school year to assist with the leadership transition.
During his tenure, Kennedy led the expansion of St. Luke's to include a high school. St. Luke's now enrolls students in grades pre-K3 through 12th on two campuses – the lower school on Japonica Lane and the upper campus at the former Julius T. Wright School for Girls on University Boulevard.

"Believe!..BELIEVE!!" COMICS! Sometimes Imagination Changes EVERYTHING!
Posted by: John Kane on January 10, 2013
Categories: Reviews
Tags: Action Comics, DC Comics, Gil Kane, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, John K (UK), Marv Wolfman, Superman
I hear your pain, people! January is a real nutcracker ain't it. What we need, as Bonnie Tyler advised, is a hero. And, yes, Virginia, there are still heroes. It's just sometimes you have to root about in the back issue bins to find 'em. I found one. I found a Hero.
What's the best Superman story ever, ever, ever? It's a question that has occupied many minds for many decades; a real bone of contention with the self explanatory importance of the issue justifying every brutally curtailed friendship, divided family, and more than one instance of burning dog poo being forced through someone's letterbox. Sorry about that, Mom, but it's an inflammatory subject and fiery faeces spoke more eloquently than I ever could. Look, tempers can run high. Luckily, I'm here to solve the conundrum for all time for I, as ever, am totally right once again. It's a gift and yet, at times, a curse. Don't envy me too quickly. Anyway, the best Superman story ever, ever, ever is:
"If Superman Didn't Exist…"
Art by Gentleman Gil Kane
Written by Mighty Marv Wolfman
Coloured by Bountiful Ben Oda
Coloured by Tiny Tony Tollin
DC Comics, $0.95 (Apr 1984)
Superman created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster
The title is such an obvious construction that you've probably already completed the missing words signified by the ellipsis. "…then it would be necessary to invent him." And you would be 100% correct. Take a bow! But this is ACTION COMICS where Superman already exists so what, by the ruby rays of Rao, the dingdangdong is going on here? Specifically here being ACTION COMICS #554 and unbeknownst to most ACTION COMICS #554 is the glorious summit of Gil Kane and Marv Wolfman's run on the title. A run which I believe has just been collected in a hardback from DC Comics. A book which Babylonian Brian Hibbs will gladly sell you in return for cold hard cash. That's how he works, it's too late to change him.
When I first read this comic a while ago though I didn't know it had been preceded by a long build up, it was just this weird story where there was a world without a Superman but which sorely needed a Superman. It had, in fact, been a world with a Superman but due to a series of quite magnificently preposterous events throughout GilWolf™'s run (I later learned, because it's never too late to learn!) Superman had been erased from the fabric of this (his) world as thoroughly as your mother erased those adolescent stains from the fabric of your underoos. Although in this case via the use of "power pyramids" rather than a boil wash and some sturdy tongs.
The details don't matter, all that matters is that the course of world history has been changed retroactively. Not only is there no Superman there is no "heroic concept"! This is because there is no War and never has been. Rather depressingly this has led to an agrarian plough level civilisation of scattered settlements. People wear baggy clothes and sport bowl haircuts like some horrific world-wide Madchester revival and while technology is rudimentary they have, astonishingly, developed corrective eye wear. On balance the drab content of life in 20th Century Earth in exchange for millions of years of suffering and violence is probably a fair trade but, crucially, it has sadly left Earth open to a full on conquering by an alien race. Which was said alien race's plan all along. All resistance has been removed, yea unto the very fish that crawled onto the shores and walked. Cunning, perhaps but thorough, most definitely.
The source of earth's salvation comes from two wee tow-headed scamps renowned about the township for their useless dreaming and pointless imaginings. Two tow-headed scamps by the name of Jerry and Joe.
Jerry and Joe.
Oh, you worked it out.
(Someone give that guy at the back a hand. 'Sokay we can wait.)
Jerry and Joe realise that to resist the invaders the Earth needs a hero so they hide in a cave and chalk upon the walls the design of this man who "…comes from the stars…", this man who's "GOOD instead of being BAD…" this man with "...a Cape…to CATCH THE WIND!" This man ends up being Liberace, who while very entertaining isn't much use against an alien invasion, so they try again and come up with "…a…SUPER MAN!". This seems more like what they were after and in short order this creature birthed from the human imagination and powered by human belief sets all things aright as Superman is restored to the world and all is well again. Of course, that mean's War is back but so are aspirin and microwaves but, hey, comme ci, comme ça, amiright? That's rhetorical, we already established I am always right back at the top.
Now, this isn't exactly what you might call a realistic premise. It's not terribly likely is it? I mean I love this comic but even I don't think you can imagine Superman up, believe in him and he will exist and sort it all out. I've been trying long enough and hard enough I've given myself a hernia and – no dice so far. I will keep you posted though. No, it's not supposed to be realistic. It's supposed be inspiring and entertaining. Heroic even. And I like that. I like that a lot.
Most (but not all) of the success here can of course be laid at the feet of Gentleman Gil Kane whose art is present in all it's '80s prime. The '80s was, for me, Gil Kane's Shining Time. The time when he had the inking nous to finally do his own pencils justice and the editorial clout to ensure he got to ink himself. While in previous decades Kane was often a hostage to unsympathetic inking the '80s saw Kane unleashed as never before. Yes, I quite like Kane's '8os art. I see '80s Gil Kane in much the same way as '70s Kirby (KOIBY!!!) – a thing unique and entire unto itself. Both styles are so complete that no further development is desirable or, I strongly suspect, possible. Even Kane's shortcomings work to his advantage here. His perfunctory space ships and goofy aliens play into the childish naivete of the narrative. For it is an intentionally childish narrative I think. It's often thought that people like Kane and Wolfman were unsophisticated storytellers since, um, craft apparently only got invented ten years ago or some such horseshit which flatters the current generation. But there are many levels of sophistication and one of these levels is surely being able to pitch a tale to appeal to children while at the same time winking at adults.
Here kids can thrill to the scrappy youngsters showing the adults what's what despite the initial disbelief, get a little fearful frisson when the parents die, be reassured when it turns out the aliens were kidnapping not killing the adults and, finally, soar with Superman as the impossible becomes possible because two children dreamed a dream which became real. Adults of course can get a kick out of the goofy antics as well as enjoy the cheeky moments of humour such as when Joe enquires after his parents and an adult just blandly states, "They're probably DEAD. Buried under the RUBBLE." or when the plucky pair outline their insane plan only for a kid to say "But that makes no semnffmfm" his latter words muffled because an adult has just shut him up with a stern hand. GilWolf™ are not unaware of the daffiness they are dealing in and handle it with a balance and surety easily missed. But you can't miss, no one could miss, the glory of Kane's Superman. Initially appearing as a chalk drawing (an amazingly detailed and preternaturally accomplished chalk drawing – a lot like a Gil Kane drawing (another wink)) Kane's Superman is revealed in an amazing sequence that thrums with power, so much so that Wolfman has little recourse but to resort to the Greatest Wordsmith of all – The Shakespeare. The insane and impossible magic achieved by combining words and pictures and imagination reaches its magnificent apogee here. After this things necessarily fall off a bit (or the risk would be that the reader's head would melt) but Kane's Superman is still like unto a God or at least a Roman Hellenistic statue of a God. A stutue that moves, because, boy, does Gil Kane's Superman move. When he's in motion, and he is mostly in motion, Kane's Superman is fluidity and power in perfect union. Kane's Superman looks delighted to be alive. Kane's Superman is so transported by the act of living even his cape blooms like a physical flare of joy.
And as Superman flies off to heal the world on a monthly basis once more the story shifts scene a final time to another pair of kids. An older pair but a pair engaged in a similar exercise of imagination. The exercise of imagination known as creation. Two kids called Joseph and Jack.
Joseph and Jack.
Joseph and Jack.
'Nuff Said, right?
And maybe that, in the end, is why ACTION COMICS #554 is the greatest Superman story ever told. Because although it could only whisper it tried to tell us the truth. About creation. About imagination and the people who have it and where the real original value in all these creations, all these billion dollar making creations, resides. It resides in the act of creation and it resides in those who have imagination enough to create.
For Joe and Jerry.
For Joseph and Jack.
For the creators.
For COMICS!!!

Yeah, that's a pretty awesome comic, all right.
Especially apt given the legal news today — http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/warner-bros-wins-big-in-superman-copyright-case/#more-401047
I love this issue.
@Brian Hibbs: Thanks for the link, sir! It sure wasn't what I was hoping for (that was: "Gil Kane emerges alive from secret base with 12 years worth of new comics written by Alan Moore! Jack Kirby due next week!"). I bet 30 seconds after that legal news went up some fabulous creature was typing "g-r-e-e-d-y h-e-i-r-s". Man, I just wanted to do something light, upbeat and celebratory and now it looks all accusatory and sour. Sheesh, if it wasn't for bad timing I wouldn't have any timing.
@Todd Gray: I believe it's very fond of you too, sir!
Thanks to tha both a youse and up, up and away!
I had no idea this was a culmination of any story arc. I remember digging it out of back issue bins as a kid, captivated by the cover. It didn't work for me back then… but it's a marvelous issue to read now.
Thanks for an excellent piece John, a good mix of summation, insight and humour. I do like this story a lot, heck, the whole Wolfman/Kane period is terrific, but this one brings a lump to my throat.
If you want to read an interesting counterpoint to this story, read the last issue of Irredeemable which has a similar story that culminates to an interesting conclusion of the story with Joe and Jerry again.
– l.k.
@Bill Reed: Oh, it wasn't just me who thought it was a done-in-one then! Man, the build up is just nuts. It's got Vandal Savage, an issue long slobberknocker where the JLA and the Teen Titans repel an alien invasion and a buncha issues featuring all those lame-o heroes I adore – The Sea Devils, Animal Man etc. and they all win but – *BUT* by winning they LOSE – which is where this issue comes in! And all this plus Gil Kane for $0.95 an issue! Obviously, I have been forced to seek permission to buy the hardback.
@Mart Gray: Thanks, sir! I envy you your familiarity with The GilWolf ACTION COMICS. My run is incomplete, tsk! It's okay about your emotions, it's 2013 and men can cry too now. Although, clearly, we don't need to and never have. Hoo-HA! Howsabout them Dodgers!
@Gary: Do they seek responsible legal advice and take it and everything is just peaches and cream? No, don't spoil it – I've wanted to read IRREDEEMABLE for a while. I'm just trying to figure out the best way (and whether I need that other series too. It's a pricey proposition either way.) Thanks for the tip!
Thanks that are more sincere than a really sincere thing to all!

Recently, my husband and I traveled extensively throughout Vietnam, where we took several cooking classes and met talented chefs in Saigon, Hoi An and Hanoi. We ate everything from fresh Spring Rolls to Banana Blossom Salad. But the chef that surprised us the most was Donald Berger at the Press Club in Hanoi, just across the street from the Hotel Metropole where we stayed.
The Press Club Restaurant is housed on three floors in a large office building and we were told by a friend living in Hanoi that we must meet the chef. So, one evening after dinner at a local restaurant, we decided to stop in the Press Club for a glass of wine and asked for him. We were told he was busy cooking in his restaurant on the third floor, but he would be available shortly. When he finally arrived we discovered many mutual friends and spent several hours discussing where he had worked in Asia. He also told us that he had worked for several years as the sous-chef at the Four Seasons Hotel Laguna Nigel.
We were leaving Vietnam the next day but, as we left the Press Club that evening, Donald suggested that we meet him for breakfast so we could see what he was cooking in his downstairs restaurant.
We got up early the next morning and met him in the rear of what looked like a typical American-style coffee bar called the Deli. It is a place where the locals stop in for a cup of coffee and pastry or glass of wine and read the news papers from around the world.
The menu included rye bread, challah and New York Cheesecake, there was even a plate of matzah in the deli case. Donald asked if we would like to taste his homemade bagels and Lotus Blossom Tea Wok Smoked Salmon. We could hardly believe that we were in Vietnam and we were eating bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon. What a wonderful treat. He shared his bagel recipe with me, but the Lotus Blossom Tea Wok Smoked Salmon is a little more difficult to re-create in a home kitchen.
What was this chef doing in Vietnam and why was he serving a Jewish breakfast, we asked? He grew up in Montreal, and missed the family Sunday morning breakfast of bagels and lox and all the other Jewish foods he remembered, and decided to bring them to Vietnam. To his surprise, it was an instant hit with the traveling business people, diplomats and tourists. Many of the deli items are flown in from New York, but he makes the bagels fresh every morning.
When and if you find yourself in Hanoi, Vietnam be sure to stop in the Deli at the Press Club Restaurant, have a bagel and say hello to Chef Donald Berger.
Press Club, 59A Ly Thai To, Hanoi, Vietnam (tel) (84-4) 934-0888,(fax) (84-4) 934-0899).
Chef Donald Berger's Vietnam Bagels
1 cup milk
1¼4 pound unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package active dry yeast
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 cups bread flour
3¼4 cup honey
Poppy seeds or sesame seeds
In a saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer and cool to 110 F.
Add butter, salt and sugar.
Add yeast and let bubble form for 5 minutes.
Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer.
Beat in the egg.
Gradually add 2 1¼2 cups of the flour mixture to the milk mixture and beat well.
Transfer the dough to a wooden board on top of the remaining 1¼2 cup flour.
Knead the dough, incorporating the flour, for 10 to 15 minutes, cover with a towel and let rest 15 minutes. Knead again 10 to 15 minutes, cover with a towel and let rest 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and divide each piece into 3 pieces.
Cover with a towel while you knead and shape each piece of dough. Knead by folding each piece in half and pushing out any air pockets, then fold in half again and repeat.
Shape into a rope about 5 inches long; form into a doughnut shape, overlap ends by about 1 inch, and knead into a smooth perfect circle. Repeat the process with remaining pieces of dough.
Sprinkle cornmeal on a board and place bagels on top.
Cover with a towel and let rest five minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Fill a large heavy pot with 12 cups of water and 3¼4 cup honey and bring to a rolling boil.
Working in batches, drop four bagels (do not crowd) into the boiling-water mixture and boil 10 seconds only. At this time, bagels should rise to the top of the water.
Transfer with a slotted spoon to a wooden board or wire rack and drain.
Press the top of each bagel into poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
Sprinkle with kosher salt if desired.
Transfer bagels to a foil-lined, lightly oiled, baking sheet 2 inches
apart. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Cool on wire racks.
Makes 12 bagels.

It wasn't all bad news for LSU on Friday.
Three days after 2011 signee Mickey Johnson was told that he would not be able to enroll at LSU this fall as a result of academic issues related to the NCAA Clearinghouse, the NCAA sent Johnson the news he had been waiting on all summer.
"(Thursday) I found out that they approved my summer school class, so all they had to do was sign off on it (Friday)," Johnson said. "(LSU assistant athletic director for football operations) coach (Sam) Nader called me after that and said I was good to go.
"I'm extremely excited. It's finally official. I'm cleared."
Over the summer, Johnson retook a course at St. Paul's and enrolled in a credit recovery program in hopes of becoming cleared before fall camp.
"We sent over 500 pages of documents stating what we had done, and from there it was in the NCAA's hands," Johnson said.
With the green flag, Johnson will head to Baton Rouge and enroll in school immediately.
"I am just ready to get over there and schedule some classes," he said. "I am going to have to be there (Friday) afternoon. I'm supposed to start setting things up about 1:30 (p.m.)."
Johnson, a four-star prospect and the No. 19-ranked defensive tackle according to Scout.com, joins Anthony Johnson, Quentin Thomas and Jermauria Rasco as the defensive line additions in the 2011 class.
Johnson said he plans to join the team immediately.

MUSKEGON, MI – Aya Johnson was so frustrated with her golf game that she almost didn't try to qualify for the U.S. Women's Amateur.
But Johnson got things figured out just in time.
The recent graduate of North Muskegon shot a 75 at the University of Michigan Golf Course in Ann Arbor earlier this month for one of the seven qualifying spots for the nation's top women's amateur golf tournament.
She will be one of the 156 players in the field for the annual event scheduled Aug. 5-11 at the Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina.
"I had been kind of struggling going into the qualifier. I wasn't hitting the ball well at all. My short game was saving me," Johnson said. "I thought about pulling out because I didn't want to hack it around the course. But I worked on it with my swing coach and went out and had fun. I didn't care about my score. I focused on the target and tried hitting it there."
U-M's course was set up to play about 6,350 yards and the added distance worked in Johnson's favor. She relied on hitting a lot of hybrids for second shots and one of her go-to clubs carried over to better iron play as well.
She said that round helped get her game back on track. In a recent tournament, Johnson hit 18 greens in regulation.
The U.S. Amateur will serve as another preparation for Johnson heading into college.
The reigning Miss Golf for Michigan will be playing at the University of Wisconsin in the fall. The 17-year-old finished behind two Michigan State University players in the qualifier at U-M.
It will be Johnson's first time playing in the U.S. Amateur.
"It's all about the experience. I'm excited," she said. "There are so many good players. Even the qualifying field was really strong. I hope to play well and get ready for college and longer distance kind of courses."
Johnson has a busy stretch before heading off to college in late August.
She's playing in the Junior PGA Championship July 30-Aug. 2 at Trump National near Washington, D.C., then heads directly to the Amateur. When she gets home, she is playing in an AJGA tournament at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc.

My friends and I love pizza. Can you help us share these pizzas
Grandma found her pie balanced on the scale with two weights and a
quarter of a pie. So how heavy was each pie?
Katie and Will have some balloons. Will's balloon burst at exactly
the same size as Katie's at the beginning of a puff. How many puffs
had Will done before his balloon burst?
Several very well reasoned solutions came in
for this problem about Andy's marbles. Katherine from Treffos,
North Wales, pupils from Wigginton Primary and Stephen from Frisby
School all went about the problem in a similar way. Stephen
Michael from King Henry VIII found a different
method for solving the problem:
These are both very clear solutions, well
done. Working from the end of a problem can be a useful way of
tackling it - something to remember!

If Republicans were serious about this "war on women," they'd be taking lessons from the best practitioners of it. Among those would be Senate Democrats.
The Democrats would like to use the "war on women" slogan in their effort to hold on to Senate control this November. Democratic Senators would do better if sought to balance their own books when it comes to paying men and women staffers.
Once again, an analysis of Senate pay shows top Democrats pay their female staffers considerably less than men. In addition, this is not some sudden development; the Democrats have had time to rectify their payrolls. Such rank hypocrisy would shame anyone other than a high-level, professional politician.
Take Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the majority whip. Durbin isn't up for re-election this fall, but he nevertheless finds himself under radio attack in the Land of Lincoln because he pays the women on his staff less than the men. In fiscal year 2013, that gap was $11,505, according to reports.
Durbin isn't the only phony on this issue. All told, two-thirds of Democratic Senators pay women staffers less than men. The gap often exceeds the alleged 77 cents to the dollar, which is bandied about as the nation's "gender pay gap."
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who is locked in a tough re-election fight, was one of the leaders back in April when the Senate held a show vote on "equal pay" legislation but she hasn't been pushing the issue lately. That could be because in her office men made $13,037 more on average than women did in 2013, or roughly 82 cents to the dollar.
Furthermore, not one of the four Democratic Senators in a leadership position - Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Durbin; Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; or Conference Secretary Patty Murray, D-Wash. - has a man as their chief of staff or communications director, usually the highest paid positions.
Part of the reason the Democrats look so phony on this issue is because it's largely a phony issue. The famous "77 cents" figure isn't some carefully calculated one.
In fact, when such calculations are done more carefully the gap between average pay for men and women shrinks. When factors such as job experience, education and hours worked are taken into account, the divide is no more than a nickel, according to the Labor Department.
And if those factors strike one as arbitrary or inherently sexist, take it up with the White House. After all, those were the very factors the Obama administration cited when trying to explain why it pays women less than men.

This is what you want to participate in? As I said, I can't stand being responsible for this type of behavior by putting a guy in charge.
Obama has given himself the power to declare martial law
Obama gives himself control of all communications systems in America
Those who control the information... media
And if the government can influence the media (or controls it) then it can control what the people think
which is one step closer to communism
especially if it can control what schools teach
which the government does have control of
The government don't even need t' control media, news channels 'n such need subject matter which appeals to the masses of (stupid) people. Idiocy begets idiocy. As such, society naturally herds itself into the hands of leaders who intend t' abuse power. A moron can only flail about and scream like a fool to make a difference in anythin', and that strategy ain't applicable 'till it's too late and revolution is the sole "solution".
Videos for ya, Trago.
Spoiler Alert!
Years later, still salty as **** over match 2.
Spoiler Alert!
I still remember that strange period in time when my Wolf was... uh, bad. Still ashamed of it too.

The Devils have signed right winger David Clarkson to a new three-year contract, which means he will not become a restricted free agent at noon (ET) Thursday.
"Nothing has been signed yet, but yes we have agreed," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello confirmed. "It will take place today."
(Note: The Devils put out a press release just before 1 p.m. ET confirming that the signing had taken place).
TSN.com, which first reported the deal, said it is for $8 million over three seasons-- $2 million, $3 million and $3 million.
Had Clarkson become restricted, another team could have come in with an offer sheet. The Devils would have had the right to match any outside offer, but they might have been unwilling to match a huge offer.

Album Summary
- Rob Haskins (Piano)
- Laurel Sheehan (Piano)
Notes & Reviews:
"Two2, the 36-movement piece for two pianos recorded here, is a superb example of the composer's ability to bring his unique vision to an aural reality that confirms its aesthetic integrity, and is at the same time very beautiful. These movements are spare, slow moving, mostly very quiet, and exquisitely serene. There is in fact virtually no predictability in the shifting sonorities, textures, and rhythmic motion, but there is a feeling of inevitability, and each note or chord sounds carefully and artfully placed... This CD should have strong appeal to fans of Cage and to fans of meditative music that has nothing to do with the facile, easy listening sound of most new age music." -All Music Guide

When i hear Cuba, i remember Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights 😀 My cousin went there 2 yrs ago and did skydiving. She also mentioned how Cubans are generally nice and not boring 😀
Micamyx|Senyorita recently posted..A Crazy, Sexy and Fun Travel Week with Alex!↓
Wow! Cuba sounds amazing!!↓
I'm sorry to bust your bubble but things are not that amazing or wonderful. Believe me I was born and raised there!! No crime?? Are you kidding me?? they just don't report it but believe me THERE is a lot of crime!!! Yes it's true that healthcare is free, but have you been to a hospital there? People have the worse care ever and lack of medications and equipment for treatment is the norm. I could go on forever. Don't get me wrong I love my country, at least its people, most are very family oriented and despite all the poverty and hardship they try to lead a happy life and you will see people dancing and playing music anywhere. I just ask all of you to get your facts straight before you speak. Thanks↓
Cuba is a great and unique country. It's my homeland I I'm very proud to come from Cuba; however, It calls my attention when you said the Cubans don't have to worry about food. Health care and schooling… yes, they are good, food… that another story. Even when we are not in the extreme of other poor countries and most people have some food everyday, to get that food is very hard. There is not enough food, prices are very expensive for the part of the population who doesn't receive money from family outside Cuba or for people who don't work in the tourist industry. The government guarantee some food that helps but it is not enough. In my family everybody had good salaries, considering the Cuban average and still, it was never enough, you live day to day and always trying to find a place or someone in the black market where to get eggs or oil, because 5 eggs a month per person are not enough and the small ration of oil, (same as the eggs) won't be always there when it's time to get it. Cubasn live everyday thinking about where to buy food, what to cook, where to find it. Candies, pop, chips, ice cream, chocolates are luxuries that children enjoy just in very special ocasions and in small amounts (maybe that is good though). I remember being a little girl and my family making a big sacrifice to buy me a pop that cost more than what they make in a day when I was sick and didn't want to eat… Cubans are beautiful people, and their main merit is that having nothing are always willing to share whatever they have with others.↓
Well… What happens is that we (Cubans) were use to have lots of doctor, when the government started exporting them… the Cuban population didn't have as many. So, we complain a lot; however because I live in Canada now and can compare… I think many countries should learn about Cuban health care.↓
About crime… well… In 30 years… someone took a pair of jeans from my clothesline…. actually it was my husband's jeans… I used to walk at night by myself coming back form my night course, I had to walk early in the morning, still dark. Always alone, being a young woman… I never had problems… ah!!! in my university some people who had too much gold jewelry could have it stolen… but people have not guns and it's save in general… Big cities could have some problems… but people don't live scared.↓
dang i did not know all this↓
Helped me learn more and look very amazing. I would go to Cuba because it is…Massive!
