MOBILE, Ala.-- If you can't see anything, you're not alone. Use extreme caution Monday morning as you head off to what is hopefully the second-to-last week before your Christmas break.
A dense fog advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. meaning that visibility may be reduced to less than a quarter of a mile. Use your low-beams/fog-lights and have extra patience.
There is also a 50 percent chance of rain until 10 p.m., so it really could be a nightmare driving situation with the exception of the wind staying at or below 5 mph for most of the day.
It will be 67 when you head out the door around the 7 a.m. hour and only get to 71 around 1 p.m. Temps will dip back to 59 by 10 p.m.
If you already miss the cooler temperatures, don't expect anything lower than the low 40s which should happen on Thursday if the forecast stays the same.
Be safe!

State Regulators Approve $900 Million Rate Hike for Georgia Power Customers
Georgia Power bills, once again, are going up.
The state Public Service Commission Tuesday approved a rate hike of $873 million over the next three years.
"All those in favor, say aye…Item R-5 passes unanimously," said PSC Chairman Chuck Eaton.
After a phase-in period, Georgia Power's 2.4 million customers, on average, will be paying about $100 more annually than they are now.
The company says the extra funds are needed for infrastructure maintenance and complying with new, stricter clear air regulations.
It originally requested $1.46 billion, but last month, the power company reached a compromise deal with PSC staffers to lower the rate hike to $873 million.
Commissioner Doug Everett touted the fact consumer groups like Georgia Watch and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy signed on to the compromise.
"Shows me that it was a very fair deal and it's one that everyone knew had to be made. Of course, nobody wants a rate hike…You're taking this rate hike, half of it was mandated by the federal government," said Everett, referencing ongoing efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency to cut down on air pollution from existing coal plants.
Many of the commissioners cited what they called a war on coal by the Obama Administration.
Commissioner Stan Wise said those who support the president's agenda shouldn't complain about the rate hike. He used this analogy.
"It's a little bit like supporting an increase in the minimum wage for fast food workers and then complaining your cheeseburger went up a dollar in price," said Wise.
Seth Gunning of the Sierra Club framed it differently. He said rates are going up because the PSC is allowing Georgia Power to throw more customer money into dirty, inefficient power plants.
"Georgia Power's over-reliance on fossil fuels - expensive fossil fuels like coal - is really what's driving these rate increases," said Gunning.
He also criticized the structure of the rate hike, given customers will be paying for new pollution controls before they're actually completed.
"If the company believes it's a good decision to invest in outdated fossil fuels like coal, they should bear the financial risk of making those capital investments upfront -- not utility customers," said Gunning.
In addition to the Sierra Club, the senior advocacy group AARP opposed the rate hike, arguing Georgia Power shareholders, not ratepayers, should be absorbing more of the costs.
As part of the compromise deal, Georgia Power agreed to increase its low-income senior citizen discount, from a maximum of $14 per month to $18. The power company also agreed to toss out a proposed solar tariff and reduce slightly its required profit margin, from 11.15 percent to 10.95 percent.
"This agreement protects our must vulnerable citizens while keeping electric rates just and reasonable," said Chairman Eaton.
Next month, bills will rise $2.19 per month. In 2015, customers will pay an additional $3.61 per month, and in 2016, an extra $2.96 per month. That's a total rate hike of $8.76 per month, or $105.12 annually.
From 2007 to 2013, the average Georgia Power bill has increased by more than 30 percent, from $89.48 per month to $117.20 per month.

American Railcar Industries (NASDAQ: ARII ) has launched a buyout offer for Greenbrier Companies (NYSE: GBX ) , according to an SEC filing. American Railcar, whose chairman is activist investor Carl Icahn, is offering $20 in cash per share of common stock for the rival train car manufacturer.
Icahn held slightly less than 10% of Greenbrier at the end of November. This made him the firm's top shareholder at the time.
The $20 bid represents a premium of 5% to Greenbrier's Monday closing price. The bid values Greenbrier at slightly less than $543 million.

Sons of Nazis talk motives
Philippe Sands (Photo: Getty Images)
Two sons of high-ranking Nazi officers spoke about their fathers' role in the Holocaust in an interview with Jewish writer Philippe Sands at the Southbank Centre in London last week.
While journalist Niklas Frank was quick to condemn his father, Hans, whom he last saw in a Nuremberg prison cell before he was hanged, Horst von Wachter defended his father, Otto, who was said to "specialise" in the extermination of Polish intelligentsia. He was named a war criminal, fled to Italy and died in 1949.
Mr von Wachter implied that his father was forced to carry out actions that he would not otherwise have done.
"For me, it is impossible that [my father] would have done it," he was quoted as saying in the Times. "I cannot say my father was a criminal. I love him. It was all [protocol]. You have to understand the system."
"[He] resists compelling evidence that show's [his father's] involvement," interjected Mr Frank.

Evangelicals Look to 2014
David Brody, Christian Broadcast Network
The Brody File has learned that the evangelical-based American Renewal Project will be organizing pastor policy briefings and voter registration drives across this country in 12 key states during the 2014 election cycle. It's their latest attempt to restore America to its Judeo-Christian heritage.
Their goal is to engage pastors around issues so they will get their congregations to participate in the political process and flock to voting booths. Right now, tens of millions of evangelical Christians simply don't vote. The states that will be targeted in 2014 are Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, Alaska, Arkansas, North Carolina, Nevada, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The NYT ran a piece in their New Old Age blog citing the correlation between anxiety medication, sleep aids and Alzheimer's. (Read it before you panic.) But here's the thing, anxiety and insomnia are also correlated to dementia. So, damned if you, damned if you don't…
On the upside, even more research (see More Magazine, which mysteriously appears at my house, I have no idea who subscribed me, but I love it!) points to the positive effects of aerobic exercise and spending time with those you love on brain health.
And guess what? Exercise and social support also reduce anxiety and decrease sleeplessness!
Or, you could take a page out of A. E. Hotchner's book, O.J. in the morning, G&T at night. Hotchner, bon vivant tennis player whose loved ones included Hemingway and Paul Newman amongst others, offers lots of fun tips for living well into old age.
He is 98.

Students issue schoolies "dare"
Cooranbong, New South Wales
Karen Zeuschner
The end of this school year will see 27 Avondale School Year 12 students travel to the Wat Preah Yesu Orphanage in Cambodia during November for a "schoolies experience with a difference." The group has also challenged every other Year 12 student in the Hunter Valley and Central Coast region to do something out of the ordinary, instead of taking part in the typical schoolies week activities of drinking and partying.
Blair Lemke, high school captain at Avondale School, says, "We're a Year 12 class creating a schoolies adventure of a lifetime. We want to have a good time, experience new things and, most of all, make a difference in our world."
The project, which is known as "Rokforce," is focused on helping others and the team will spend two weeks building a media room, running interactive children's programs and assisting around the orphanage.
Tanya Lawrence, one of the "Rokforce" coordinators and mother of a participant in the team, says, "As thousands of graduating Year 12 'schoolies' prepare to go to the Gold Coast in November, we're really proud of what our students are doing to create an adventure that will have a positive impact on their lives and the lives of others.
"We're also excited by their desire to inspire other 'schoolies' to do something positive to help others."
School captain Emma Thomson says the "Rokforce" team, which also includes six teachers and parents, is fundraising to pay for their airfares and costs in return for the opportunity to serve.

Eliminate border fee proposal
May 3, 2013
A?proposal in President Barack Obama's 2014 budget to study the impact of charging a border crossing fee for visitors from?Canada should be eliminated before it's even discussed. Rep....
I think sometimes you really need to put in place a fee because these Canadians yes shop our stores do get their taxes back from their own Government....so they can get the fees back from their government...lol...while we are taxed to death in Minot in overly inflated economy.......I said some days.........

Charge a fee to the Canadians that go home after a weekend of shopping but let the Mexicans keep coming over illegally and free with no intention of leaving. Makes a lot of sense to me, not. Some real brains we have in this administration.

Young people in the US, undeterred by the nation's economic doom and gloom, still strive for the great American Dream, a new report by Credit Suisse has found. Interestingly, American youth's ambitions of wealth and success are in direct contrast to their counterparts in Switzerland, and to a lesser extent Brazil.
Political scientist, Lukas Golder, a director at gfs.bern, the research firm which conducted the survey for Credit Suisse, says the report found young Brazilians believe that enjoying life and "living the dream with others" is as important as making money. By comparison the Swiss are more concrete thinkers who don't waste time dreaming. Instead they roll up their sleeves and work hard to make their goals a reality.
The findings of Credit Suisse's third annual Youth Barometer provide an insight into how young people from the US, Brazil and Switzerland, view their future and what values are important to them.
Overall, it depicts a hopeful and ambitious group. Whether in Bern, Sao Paulo or Chicago, the Credit Suisse report shows that today's youth share common aspirations. They want to own a house or apartment, and yearn for a fulfilling job that allows them to enjoy a good work-life balance.
Golder says this striking insight, shared by all three countries, contradicts media commentators who have labeled "millennials" as a lost generation, even "a generation without qualities," which has been unable to fully leverage the tech revolution of the past decade to its advantage.
Instead, the Credit Suisse survey shows a generation that is driven and full of ambition. Despite facing the biggest economic crisis in generations, young people across the board appear optimistic and resilient. Brazilians surveyed were the most positive about their future (73%), followed by 66% of Swiss and 56% of Americans.
"Young people in the US still pursue the American dream of rising from office drone to millionaire, but the crisis has shaken their confidence and frustrates them at times," says Golder.
However, there were still some clear disparities between the three nations – the most obvious related to personal finances, according to the survey. America's young people are the deepest in debt, owing money on personal loans, mortgages, credit cards and to cell phone providers.
"The Swiss respondents incur almost no debt, and those they do have are to their family and friends," says Golder.
"By contrast, living on credit is common for those surveyed in the US and, to a slightly lesser extent, Brazil."
Of course, our young people do have fears. In the US, they are fearful of terrorism and youth unemployment. Rising fuel prices and health issues also concern them.
In Switzerland, they worry about how asylum seekers and refugees should be treated, as well as the future of old-age pensioners; in Brazil, youth unemployment and corruption rank as the biggest concerns.
"Young people in the US … are much more attuned to the economic downturn. They want to safeguard their property and their national invulnerability, and put greater emphasis on security."
Americans and Brazilians cast a severe judgment on their respective governments. Almost all of those surveyed in the US – 82% – believe their political system needs a complete overhaul, and half think the Government fails in crucial decisions.
Brazilians have little faith in their government either and see corruption as the most pressing problem, while Switzerland's politicians get a good grade, thanks to the nation's healthy economic position.
The Youth Barometer also debunked some widely held conceptions, especially when it comes to how young people interact with social media platforms.
Young people believe that social media can be a catalyst for rich and fruitful interactions that can help them make new friends, gather and share information. In Switzerland, 73% of the polled youth use SMS/texting to connect with friends and family, but only 23% stay connected on Web 2.0 platforms like Facebook and Twitter. In the US and Brazil, 45% and 41%, respectively, of polled youth prefer Twitter and Facebook to connect with their respective networks.
Overall, despite the financial challenges of the last few years, "Young people from all three countries have an overwhelmingly positive view of their own future," says Golder.

Life is not divided into majors. A liberal arts education provides a unified perspective for life. The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts degree is designed to provide students with a curriculum that is broad, flexible, and challenging, and to provide the means for degree recipients to be liberally educated and recognize the interrelatedness of knowledge. Students take courses from five core areas: Communications; Social Sciences; Humanities; Critical Reasoning and Analytic Methods; and Science, Technology, and the Environment. The program culminates in an experiential educational component via a Senior Capstone Seminar and either an independent research project or a 90 hour internship.
A liberal arts education prepares students to assume positions of leadership and to be flexible in the marketplace. With a solid liberal arts education an individual is not limited to a particular niche, but freed and qualified for a wide range of opportunities for life beyond the program of study. In today's economy, employers prefer transferable skills. Those skills are those which employees take with them to any job, such as written and verbal communication skills, the ability to solve complex problems, to work well with others, and to adapt in a changing workplace.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program the graduate will be able to:
- Communicate effectively using critical reasoning skills.
- Evaluate the effect of cultural artifacts on core values.
- Produce critical solutions to problems by applying patterns of human behavior.
- Apply a pluralistic approach to diverse perspectives.
- Respond adaptively to changing information and circumstances.
- Synthesize ideas/perspectives in a manner which demonstrates the interrelatedness of knowledge.
- Evaluate research data to produce solutions to problems.

Nice heads up. I typically add at least an hour to all live sports events. Nothing more frustrating than finding out you're gonna miss the end of something.

Emmaus Council approves run to benefit fire victims
Emmaus Borough Council has approved a 5-K run to benefit survivors of the March 17 apartment house fire that killed four people -- but without bands or a truck serving beer at the end of the route.
Called the Emmaus Fire Survivors Benefit Run, the event will be 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. May 11. It is being sponsored by Emmaus Main Street Partners.
Council unanimously approved the run, despite skepticism expressed by some members when it was first proposed on April 1 –as well as some lingering concerns about safety raised at Monday night's council meeting.
On April 1, council members said it usually takes at least six months to plan such an event. But Gene Clock, president of Main Street Partners, said his organization wants to help fire survivors as soon as possible, not in six months or a year.
Some on council also objected to initial plans to sell beer at the event, which isn't going to happen. "That was just distasteful," said council member Wesley Barrett.
The event is not a race and no borough streets will be closed. Participants will run (or walk) on sidewalks. They will have to stop at intersections and when trains are rolling across Klines Lane along the route.
Although he voted with his colleagues, council member Michael Waddell commented: "It doesn't seem safe."
Barrett said it will be comparable to members of the Emmaus High track team running through town on the sidewalks. He said participants will stop when they get to red lights.
Nearly a third of the 5-K run will be on the South Mountain Gateway Trail.
Rather than a fixed registration fee, cash donations will be accepted at the Emmaus Run Inn sporting goods/shoe store, formerly the Finishing Line, at 322 Main St. on the day of the run.
Participants will start at Emmaus Run Inn, going down Main Street and turning right onto Klines Lane. They will cross two sets of tracks before turning into the trail system, going through the woods to Wieders Lane. After making right turns off Wieders onto E. Main and Alpine streets, they will return to the trails, taking a higher loop of trail to Minor Street, then following Minor to Fifth Street. The run will end at 5th and Broad streets, near the fire scene, which was at 36-38 S. 5th St.
There also will be a three-kilometer option, a shorter version of the same route.
Barrett expects more than 100 people will participate. "It doesn't have to be just runners," he said, noting anyone can participate by walking either three kilometers (less than 1.9 miles) or five kilometers (3.1 miles).
"We're trying to raise some funds for a good cause and have some fun with it too," said Barrett.
Council also approved plans for "Chalk The Walk," a new fund-raising event for the Emmaus Arts Commission. It will be 9 a.m. to noon July 14 – a Sunday -- on the Triangle in the center of town. Rain date is July 20.
Artists of all skill levels can sign up to create art on a block of sidewalk, using washable chalk.
The arts commission promotes "Chalk The Walk" as the local version of an Italian street painting festival. Artists will be given a small amount of free chalk but are advised to also bring their own "to give your work depth and color."
Because art will be created in full view of spectators, participating artists are warned: "This is a family event, please choose appropriate artwork." Waddell anticipates 50-70 people will participate, including families with children.
Anyone who wants to participate will pay a $10 registration fee.
Council members said the event could spread beyond sidewalks on the Triangle if enough people are interested. But the arts commission says only a limited number of sidewalk blocks are available and is encouraging participants to sign up early at: http://www.emmausarts.org/documents/EmmausChalk ArtistForm.pdf.
Waddell said the event is being organized by Angela Faidley of the arts commission.
Council gave preliminary and final approval, with conditions and waivers, for a 17-space parking lot on the corner of S. Second and Railroad streets. The property is owned by G&N Properties, which needs the lot for an unidentified business it plans to put into the nearby former corporate offices of East Penn Bank, a building G&N also owns.
When Waddell asked what business will be using the parking lot, other borough officials said they did not know. A home that stood on the property has been torn down.
The Emmaus newsletter has been named the best borough newsletter in Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs, said borough manager Shane Pepe.
He said it was selected as the best from among several hundred newsletter submitted by boroughs in the competition.
"It's something I'm very proud of," said Pepe. "This is the first time we have ever put in for this competition that anybody is aware of."
Pepe praised Paula Weiant, an administrative assistant in Town Hall, for her hard work in organizing the newsletter.

-The Bell News-
I am writing this post to let those of you who have followed me through the years know that I will be 'moving' so to speak. Instead of writing on The P/Oed Patriot all the time I will be posting most of my articles on a new website. I have realized over the past year that in order to reach more people, while cutting down on my stress, I was going to need help. So I have asked three of my fellow bloggers to join me and between us we came up with The Bell News.
While I will still be covering my usual topics like Communism, Unions etc; my fellow writers on The Bell News will be bringing their skills, and areas of expertise, to help you learn more than I could ever hope to share with you alone.
I whole heartily appreciate you, my readers, and the loyalty you have given me over the years. So I hope you will follow me over to The Bell News.
Because the fight for Liberty... never ends.

Communist Party Celebrates Obama's Reelection
|Sam Webb's article on People's World
In an article posted on the CPUSA news, People's World, Sam Webb talks about how the victory for Obama is a victory for democracy:
"After a long and bitterly contested battle, the forces of inclusive democracy came out on top yesterday. The better angels of the American people spread their wings, as they went to the polls.An African-American president was re-elected to the office of the Presidency, the Democrats unexpectedly strengthened their hand in the Senate and House, and victories, including big ones for marriage equality, were registered at the state level."
But Sam Webb sees this "victory" as something even more substantial, a sign that the country is leaning more his way:
"Moreover, the balance of forces - that is, the ground on which people fight going forward - has shifted in a progressive direction."While I disagree with Sam Webb's conclusions about the big Progressive shift being the reason for Obama's victory...it is hard to discount one thing...
A man was just re-elected as President of the United States who has appointed known Communists to Government positions and his campaign was supported and endorsed by the Communist Party USA who is a known enemy to the ideals of Liberty.
If that isn't the most insane thing you have ever seen in your life... then I'll eat my tricorn hat.

Communist Party USA Chair: "We Can Set In Motion Progressive Agenda Coming Out Of 2012 Election. (If It Goes Our Way)"
Sam Web, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA ) Chairman, said to a gathering of local Communists in Arizona last year that if the 2012 election goes their way, (The re-election of President Obama) that they will have the possibility of setting the 'Progressive' Agenda. (Starts around the 2:00 Mark.)

Lisa Fithian For Violence?: "I Believe In Non-Violent Protest Because There Are So Many Guns In This Country, We Would Get Slaughtered."
Lisa Fithian admitted to a group of Occupiers that the reason she believes in non-violent protest is because there are so many guns in the U.S. and if they tried to violently over throw the country they would get slaughtered. (comment starts around the 1:50 mark)
So in essence what she is saying is that if the Progressive left could win a violent revolution she would be for it.
Ironically this is the same view of the Southern California Communist Party.

Cottages to blossom in Balboa Park
House of Pacific Relations to grow to 34
Marty Graham 5:30 p.m., Oct. 24
Statement from Sunroad: "With Filner gone, there shouldn't be any more trouble about our dealings with the city on this really very minor matter of taking a teeny tiny slice of public parkland and mixing in a little private interest. That is a great relief, and naming the easement after the former Mayor seemed like the least we could do. And in the end, isn't an alley the right sort of space for the man?"

Name: Kirstie Williams
Age: 22
Education: "I'm majoring in criminal justice at Gadsden State Community College. I want to be a juvenile probation officer."
Experience: "I started waitressing at 16 years old. A couple of weeks after I turned 21, I decided what I really wanted to do was learn how to bartend. So I learned basic bartending skills at Jekyll and Hyde in Arab, Ala., and I learned stronger bartending skills working under Paige Creque at I Love Sushi."
Job Title: Head Bartender
Employer: I Love Sushi
Number of employees: N/A
Job description: "Mixing drinks, making top shelf martinis, making up own recipes, providing an excellent customer-service atmosphere for my customers, keeping my bar organized at all times, and working well under pressure."
Best perk: "My peppy personality – you'll never see me without a smile!"
Ambition: "To bring smiles to all my customers and make them that perfect martini they won't ever forget. When a customer takes time from their dinner just to come to the bar and thank me for their drink and tell me how much they enjoyed it, my night is brightened more than they could imagine."
Best advice received: "Don't let the high pressure of this job get you down; never stop and keep going." – Lisa Lamb
Best advice to give: "I got voted #1 bartender in the Valley, and I achieved this at 22 years old and with only a year and a half of bartending experience. I'm living proof you can be great at anything you set your mind to."
It's a bad day when: "You will think I'm lying but every day is a good day! I'm in love with my job, mangers, coworkers, and customers!"
It's a good day when: "I love when I am slammed busy and get to see all of my favorite regulars."
Role models: "Paige Creque, the previous head bartender here, calls me her 'mini me.' She has helped me in so many ways. She is everything in a person you would want to look up to. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Working on: "Learning how to master Flair Bartending, which is a style of bartending that uses tricks to entertain customers."

The James A. FitzPatrick nuclear power plant in Scriba took another step toward license renewal tonight when federal regulators approved the way it is handling the effects of time.
A team of six Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors spent two weeks at the plant in April to go over plant owner Entergy Nuclear's programs for keeping the plant in shape through the additional 20 years a renewed license would provide.
There is "reasonable assurance of management of aging effects," the inspectors' team leader said at a meeting tonight.

Its time to start focusing on the playoffs and our potential roadblocks to Banner 18. Every day we'll bring you what's making news in enemy territory. This way we know what they're up to when it comes time to take 'em out.
Sentinel: I planned to write a long-form, detailed look at why Dwight Howard is a more deserving Most Valuable Player than Derrick Rose this morning. In a nutshell, I felt Howard's presence on both offense and defense was being overshadowed by Rose's more entertaining story — the young point guard carrying a team of veterans to the conference's best record is more riveting than the dependable, rock-solid big man making up for his team's defensive deficiencies to finish fourth in the East.
But after what's happened on the blogs and Twitter today, that argument is played out. While the mainstream media is whole-heartedly behind Rose —as Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy correctly said yesterday — some of the Internet's most-respected writers have put their support behind the Magic's superstar center.
By the Horns: Think about it. The NBA is a business. Fun, positive, feel-good stories are great for any business. Human beings love novelty. NBA fans are no different. Most of the anti-Rose hand-wringing is coming from the advanced stats community. But if stats are the only thing that matter, why don't they just watch game simulations on NBA 2K11? Wouldn't that be a dream world? Where every action and reaction was governed by hard data…where the only storylines were cranked out on a calculator or inside a computer…
Thanks. But no thanks.
Miami Herald: At times, it seems Heat shooters are so open they could eat a snack before the nearest defender offers resistance […] Some have improved their accuracy, but several have not. Miller's 40.7 overall shooting percentage and 38.4 percent accuracy on threes are below his career averages of 46.4 and 40.5 entering the season, though his earlier injury obviously has been a factor.Eddie House is shooting 40.2 and 37.7, slightly below his career averages of 41.0 and 39.0. Mario Chalmers, now injured, is shooting 41 percent overall, on par with his 41.2 career mark.
Rufus on Fire: I hope you're used to blowouts, like I am, by now. Head coach Paul Silas says he doesn't expect Jackson to return any time soon. And he's probably going to sit Tyrus, too, according to Rick Bonnell's article. So we're looking at where we were a week or two ago. I expect the starting lineups to be Augustin/Henderson/Cunningham/Diaw/Brown and Rondo/Allen/Pierce/Garnett/Krstic. Yeah, um, ouch. No worries, I'm sure our advantage of Kwame over Krstic will win the day.
Mavs Moneyball: Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry combined to score 19 of the Mavericks' 28-fourth quarter points and that was the difference in the 104-96 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The dynamic duo triggered the 11-2 run over the final 2:38 en route to the win. With the victory over Minnesota, Dallas secured their 11th straight season with at least 50 wins. The Mavericks are just the third franchise (since the NBA went to an 82-game schedule in 1967) to record at least 11 consecutive seasons with 50-plus wins (also the Spurs from 1999-present, the Lakers from 1979-1991).
ESPN Dallas: There certainly were no wild celebrations after the Mavs extended their streak of 50 wins to 11 seasons with an unimpressive win over a wounded version of the Western Conference's worst team. "I think I've said it the last couple of years: I'd rather trade it in for a championship," said Dirk Nowitzki, the lone man on the Mavericks' roster throughout the 50-win run. "Eleven 50-win seasons don't mean nothing."
Project Spurs: The Blazers seem to have the Spurs' number. Though San Antonio broke a five-game losing streak to Portland earlier this season winning 95-78, in the following meeting Portland once again beat San Antonio, 99-86. Why does Portland do so well versus San Antonio?
First of all, Tony Parker goes down and suddenly the Blazers could get the win- but honestly, I think the Blazers and Spurs play very similar pace, and the three point shooting of the winning team usually makes the difference. The slow, defense-centric grind-it-out style of play is what the Blazers are used to and they are comfortable with that on both offense and defense, so the fact that they can match the Spurs pace really works to inhibit a lot of what the Spurs are normally successful at doing- which is lulling opposing teams into bad shots and broken defense.
My SA Spurs Nation: He is the oldest player on the Spurs' roster, a 36-year-old in his 15th NBA season. But at times Wednesday in Denver, without Tim Duncan around to provide direction, Antonio McDyess felt more like a callow rookie than seasoned vet. "I'm so used to him being there," McDyess said. "When he's not, it seems like I'm lost."
ESPN LA: Center Andrew Bynum, suspended for his team's previous two games for a flagrant foul 2 against Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley last week, said Thursday he's excited to return to the court Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. "[I'm feeling] really good," Bynum said following practice. "My knee's feeling all right. Ready to go."
ESPN LA: The future of L.A.'s head coaching position is still something of a back burner issue (whether because the playoffs are around the corner or the perception Brian Shaw has already been tabbed as Phil Jackson's successor), but for those getting a jump on postseason speculation, don't look towards Durham for a potential Shawternative.
As ESPNLA.com's Arash Markazi reports, while there once was a time Mike Krzyzewski almost considered coming to Los Angeles, back in '04 when Jackson left the first time, that window has closed.
News OK: After answering a steady stream of questions by two lingering reporters, Perkins was free to go home. Free to rest his bones after battling Jazz bruiser Al Jefferson for the better part of 26 minutes. But, as he pushed in his black swivel-style chair, Perkins voluntarily offered up one last bit of insight just before calling it a night."Tha-bo is my new fav-o-rite de-fen-der," Perkins announced, elongating each syllable in his South Texas twang for maximum effect.

BOSTON — Jacoby Ellsbury (swollen left hand) and Shane Victorino (left hip contusion) both returned to the Red Sox lineup on Monday after leaving Sunday's game early.
"By the time they got some treatment when they left yesterday, it was looking more and more like they'd be available today," Sox manager John Farrell said Monday. "That was reconfirmed this morning. We're at the time of year most every everyday player is dealing with something, but they're ready to go. Everybody recognizes the situation we're in and the need to answer the bell every day."
Playing through injuries is necessary and perhaps a little easier when there's something on the line on September.
"It's harder to tell your teammate 'No' than it would be, maybe, me," Farrell said. "That's one of the characteristics of this team. There is an accountability to one another in here."
Clay Buchholz's rehab game moved to Thursday
Clay Buchholz and his wife Lindsay are expecting a child on Wednesday. Buchholz was slated to pitch for Triple-A Pawtucket in the International League playoffs that day, but the team instead plans to push him back instead to Thursday.
"Well, I think this probably has more to do with Lindsay," Farrell said. "If she's due on Wednesday and without it getting too personal, that's likely what will take place. We're flexible both here and at Pawtucket that we can adjust by a day without disrupting any of our plans."
Following the planned third and final rehab outing, Buchholz would logically return to the Red Sox rotation during the Rays series Sept. 10-12 in Tampa Bay. The first game of that series, Sept. 10, would be a regular five days following Thursday's outing.
Whatever day Buchholz returns to the rotation won't be affected by pushing his start back a day, perhaps because there's a scheduled off-day on Monday, Sept. 9.
"We don't feel like anything will be affected one way or the other based on Clay starting Wednesday or Thursday," Farrell said. "There's been no adjustment to the rotation right now. It's important for us to get through this series and these coming days to figure out where we go when we come out of New York."
Jose Iglesias returns, doesn't speak to media
Shortstop Jose Iglesias was in the trainer's room when batting practice ended Monday afternoon. That was the time Tigers public relations had told media the shortstop would be available.
He was not. Iglesias started at shortstop batting ninth. Since being traded from the Red Sox on July 30, Iglesias is carrying a solid .292/.344/.360 line.
"Clearly he's improved their infield defense with his range," Farrell said. "I don't know that anybody in this organization has ever seen a better defender at the position. That's a pretty strong statement for a guy who's in the early stages of what should be a long career. He's going to make all the routine plays. He's going to make the well-above-average play. For the time particularly this year, he was a good offensive player. We didn't necessarily want to trade him, but it seemed to be a good fit for all three teams involved, just a very good baseball trade when you consider all parties involved."

Along with Media Matters MSNBC's Ed Schultz was a leading critic of Rush Limbaugh when he called Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" on his radio program in February. But unlike Media Matters, Schultz said at a recent seminar for radio hosts in New York that going after advertisers to silence people is "the wrong thing to do."
Schultz told the audience that he called Media Matters founder David Brock earlier in the year and expressed his displeasure with the fact that his group was targeting Limbaugh's advertisers. Media Matters, a progressive media watchdog group, had demanded that the advertisers drop the right-wing radio host over his controversial comments about Sandra Fluke, the law student.
"I need you to know what's happening," Schultz said he told Brock, recounting his conversation. "'This is what's happening. There's a lot of people getting hurt. This is going to too far. It's my opinion, you can take it for what it's worth.'"
Contrary to all appearances, Schultz must not carry much weight. Media Matters' ad boycott of the Limbaugh show is still up and running.

FLEMINGTON — The purchase of a $23,435 license plate reader for the Police Department was approved by Borough Council at its April 22 meeting, with two dissenting votes and some flak from a retired police officer.
Councilman Brian Swingle, who is police commissioner, said, "It allows us to scan all license plates, vehicles coming and going, and may hit on warrants, known gang members and some other violation connected to their vehicle."
He said that police departments in Clnton and Bridgewater already have them.
The license plate reader is being purchased from Vigilant Solutions of Livermore, Calif.
Before voting on the resolution authorizing the purchase, Councilman Joey Novick questioned whether it is right for police to gather "information on people that the authorities have no suspicion of," although he's in favor of giving police every advantage in dealing with people "who are suspect."
Borough Attorney Barry Goodman said that in Fourth Amendment issues like this, the question is "whether there is an expectation of privacy" and, in the case of license plates, there is no such expectation.
Councilman Phil Greiner said, "There is no expectation of privacy about your license plate, but that's different from an expectation of privacy about where you were, when."
Novick said, "If Phil and I were having coffee every day at the same time at the Shaker Café outdoors, and every day a police officer came by and took our picture, I would be a little bit upset about that. But Phil should be more upset because he's with me. But all kidding aside… there is no expectation of privacy, but what they do with that information is definitely a concern." Novick voted no.
Greiner also voted no, explaining that in addition to his privacy concern, he believes the device might cost more than it's worth "although I totally respect the police and Brian's motion putting it forward."
When resident Tony Previte got a chance to speak, he cited the purchase of the license-plate reader as an example of the borough's "overcomplication of simple issues."
He said, "So you hit on a drug dealer, you hit on a guy that owes money to Seaside Heights on a parking ticket, you see another plate that he didn't go down and re-register. What does this all add up to day after day after day?"
During 26 years as a patrolman in New Brunswick, he said, "I operated with my eyes, my ears, my head, reasonable suspicion. We don't need this type of technology in the age we live in today and the town we live in. It's an unnecessary expense."

Wednesday's severe weather has caused many Reading residents to reach their breaking point.
Cars refused to start Thursday after being partially submerged in water as roads were turned into rivers during heavy downpours Wednesday evening.
"It was like somebody built a lake down here. It was bad," said Bobby Dimmich, who lives on Nicholls Street.
Junior Torres was still cleaning up his house in the 400 block of Church Street on Thursday. The powerful storms dropped about four feet of water in his basement. Torres said he didn't know how much more he can take with more rain on the way.
"This is a nightmare. This is a nightmare. Right now, I have water all inside my house," said Torres.
Workers spent the day cleaning the A-Plus Sunoco gas station. The 700 block of Spring Street looked more like the mighty Schuylkill River on Wednesday. Several inches of water rushed inside the store.
"We had to remove the water from inside the store and we needed to clean everything," said Mani Nagoth, who works at the store.
"I don't think the city is doing their job. They need to clean the sewer drains and the gutters out a little bit more," said Robin Dimmich, who lives in the city.
Many residents blamed the city for the severe flooding, but officials said they were frustrated, too.
"I think people think that we have street sweepers, therefore their trash can go in the gutters and that's not really the case," said Ralph Johnson, acting director of public works. "We would like if we didn't have all this trash in the streets and in the catch basins clogging them up, that would be great for the citizens and the community."

Ten people were wounded in an eruption of gunfire on Bourbon Street near 3 a.m. Sunday morning, and soon after the shots, New Orleans police in the French Quarter were heard on the Police Department's radio dispatch calling for help for victims. For example, one officer says, "I got another one at Bourbon and St. Ann. Female. Into the face." But video of a police officer standing near a motionless victim on Bourbon Street doesn't capture him exerting much energy on her behalf.
A spokesperson for the mayor says the police officer was surveying the scene and asking a dispatcher to send back-up and medical assistance. That officer, according to the spokesperson, was also keeping his eyes peeled for more victims and any perpetrators on the scene.
But a nurse who was one of several medically trained pedestrians who rushed to the woman's aid also questioned the curious detachment shown by the first police officer to reach the woman.
"The officer never checked the victim. He was just standing there as if the victim was dead," that nurse said. "But he could have been in shock, too. He's human, as all of us are."
The shooting and its aftermath were captured by EarthCam, which has for years had a camera installed on the balcony of the Cat's Meow so people from afar can get a glimpse of Bourbon Street. At about 2:45 a.m. Sunday, silent video from that camera shows people ambling along the street. Then there are muzzle flashes from a handgun and pedestrians ducking and scrambling for cover.
According to an EarthCam press release, company officials publicly released the video "with the hope that the gunmen will be caught and brought to justice." New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said in a Sunday press conference that the shootings were the actions of "two cowardly young men trying to hurt one another." Given the clarity of the video, it might indeed prove useful as the Police Department searches for the two men the police superintendent labels cowards.
But the video captures more than the crime. It also captures a seeming lackadaisical response from one of the first uniformed officers to arrive on the scene. The nurse's analysis that the police officer "was just standing there as if the victim was dead" isn't contradicted by the silent video.
At his Sunday press conference, Serpas said, "Within seconds, police officers were on the scene doing the things that we want them to do. They were rendering aid to people that were hurt. They were rendering scene protection and evidence collection. They began to get descriptions of the perpetrators and put that information out to other officers."
Because the officer is never shown kneeling down to the victim, it doesn't appear that he was "rendering aid." And because the officer lets so many people crowd around her, he doesn't seem to be "rendering scene protection" or collecting evidence. How's he doing those things when he turns his back to the crowd hovered over the woman? How's he doing those things when he walks away?
In a Sunday afternoon email, I asked Serpas about the officer seen on video. Tyler Gamble, press secretary for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, wrote back Sunday night:
"As you know nearly the entire 700 block of Bourbon Street was an active scene upon the first officers arrival only moments after the last shot was fired. While the officer stands near a critically wounded victim, he is providing information to the dispatcher, requesting medical assistance and additional officers. At the same time, the officer surveys the scene for additional victims, at least six others in the immediate area and for the perpetrator(s). At the same time, some people, unknown if they are friends of the victim, attempt to calm and aid the victim. At no time does it appear that these people are a threat to the victim."
That victim was the most seriously wounded in the gunfire. She remained in critical condition Monday.
To Gamble's point, it does appear that many of the people crowding around the victim were there to help her, not harm her. That belief is corroborated by the nurse on the scene who described pedestrians attempting to restart her breathing.
But even onlookers with good intentions can compromise a crime scene. It does seem wise for the officer to let passersby help the victim, but he could have at least stood guard over them and kept other pedestrians away.
Not getting down on her level to check on the victim and offer comfort looks bad enough. But it doesn't look as bad as the officer turning his back on the victim and walking away.

I love the feel of this coverlet and it's a perfect weight without all the bulk. My only dislike so far is that after washing, the color is more faded than the shams. Washed those too but still came out different color.
I love this coverlet. It makes a statement of beauty with its design - simple, but elegant.
I love this coverlet. I am not a fan do heavy comforters because they are so big and bulky. This coverlet is perfect for the light and airy look I am going for in my bedroom. It looks beautiful in this bedroom.


text: Quick, William Gregory, 86, of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, died Saturday, July 14, 2012. The son of Paul and Ruth Gregory Quick, he was born November 28, 1925, in Gloversville, N.Y. He was educated at Kingsborough Elementary School, Baylor School, and the University of Virginia. While serving in Air Force pilot training during World War II he also attended Furman University. He was preceded in death by his son, Paul Quick II. Survivors are his wife of 65 years, Mary Cannon Quick; his daughter, Sara Irick (Robert ) of Sullivan's Island, S.C.; his son, James Quick (Trina ) of Minneapolis, Minn.; granddaughters, Cowles Whitley (Josh), Ellen Gilchrist, and Margaret Todd Irick, all of of Charleston, S.C.; sister-in-law, Marguerite Cannon of Franklin, Tenn.; and cousin, Marilyn Collins Finocan (John) of Gloversville, N.Y. Greg's career was in the textile industry to which he brought a lifetime of enthusiasm. He began his working life in 1949 at the Daisy, Tenn. garment factory of Kingsboro Mills, a company in which his family held controlling interest and which had moved from Gloversville, N.Y. to Chattanooga around 1940. He was made president of Kingsboro in 1961 one year after it was sold to Genesco, a Nashville company. He was a member of the executive committee of the board of directors of Genesco and one of four group vice presidents in charge of all their companies when they became known as the world's largest apparel company. He enjoyed very much being a part of its growth and success during those years. When he and Mary decided to return to Chattanooga, his varied experiences were beneficial at a time when textile companies all around faced stormy years. He knew where viable niches remained, and after serving for a time as President of Signal Knitting Mills and Vice President of Skyland International, he embarked on starting a number of manufacturing and sales companies. He thrived on organizing companies, and was acquainted with younger people of fine character and energy who wanted to partner with him, and these enterprises made for interesting and productive years until his retirement at age 70. Greg enjoyed many sports. As a youth, he rode the family's gaited horses in competition until World War II intervened. In the fifties he was a member of a Lookout Mountain softball team that won the Chattanooga city championship. When the family had a boat ,"The Quix," on Chickamauga Lake he enjoyed fishing and boating, and especially entertaining guests up and down the Tennessee River. He was for many years a regular at the Downtown Y and had many friends there. In Nashville he was a member of a neighborhood group who Bowled-on-the-green and he would almost never miss their Sunday afternoon bouts. He enjoyed golf most of all and played it everywhere he went. He was a member of the Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church virtually all of his adult life, except the Nashville years when he belonged to First Presbyterian Church, where he served as deacon. Although his work schedule regularly kept him away from home most of every week, he gave time to help raise funds for the Boy Scouts, Big Brothers, the Children's Museum and the church, among other things. A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. today, July 17, at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Franklin, Tenn. Pallbearers are Ed Cannon, Josh Whitley, Pat Schaefer, Mac Linton, Trey Caroland and Johnny Bransford; honorary pallbearers are Bobby Bransford, Morgan Entrekin, Timmy Douglas, Charlie Nelson and Craig Hume. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. the following day, Wednesday, July 18, in the chapel of the Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, with the Reverend Brian Salter officiating. Visitation will be in the Brock Class room one hour before the service. Williamson Memorial Funeral Home, 615-794-2289. www.williamsonmemorial.com.

HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP — A fresh report on the availability of water for fire fighting recommends that local fire companies make sure that one of the town's three water tankers is among the first vehicles sent to a fire, to provide enough water to keep flames from spreading out of control.
The $30,000 study conducted by the Pennsylvania-based Fire Planning Associates concluded that water tankers are "key" to fighting fires in a town with few public water lines and hydrants.
Data in the report indicate tankers have consistently lagged behind engines and ladder trucks, which are generally first on the scene with equipment and firefighters.
That's because all three Hopewell Valley fire companies have been following the same dispatch system of first sending out an engine or ladder truck, which hold only two to three minutes worth of water, and then sending out a tanker, said Greg Jakubowski, an engineer with Fire Planning Associates.
"Our recommendation is that they have to ensure that at least one tanker responds on initial alarms," Jakubowski said.
Union, Pennington and Hopewell fire companies, which were closely involved in the study, have begun following that recommendation, he said.
Erick Burd, chief of the Union Fire Company in Titusville, disputed the assertion that the companies have changed strategies in response to the report, saying they have been coordinating tanker dispatch for "a while" to ensure water is available in areas without hydrants.
At a meeting to discuss the report last week, firefighters said there is a delicate balance to dispatching equipment because, while water is essential, so are the personnel and equipment needed to put out fires.
Still, the report has drawn attention to the importance of tankers, Burd said.
"As a result of this report, everybody is more aware of the importance of getting the tankers responding as quickly as possible," he said.
The study was commissioned jointly by the Hopewell Township Committee and the local fire districts last year. The move was prompted by public outcry over the total destruction of four homes and several other structures in the last few years in areas where water access was limited.
In addition to finding that water tankers are crucial to improving fire protection, the report also recommends the township enact laws mandating the construction of underground cisterns or alternative water supplies in new developments.
Installing a 30,000-gallon tank can cost $110,000, the report said, making it an expensive step for the township to undertake on its own.
As a quicker and cheaper fix around existing housing, the township can install standpipes to allow fire trucks to tap into ponds as they would hydrants, the report said.
In surveying the township's various ponds and waterways as possible emergency water sources, Fire Planning Associates found that 43 were not usable, 19 were currently usable and 47 would be usable with modifications like standpipes and improved access.
The report prioritized several locations for standpipe installations at area ponds. They are located at Brick Yard Road; 1415 Route 57; 330 Carter Road; Route 518 near Pleasant Valley Road; and on Route 31 near Route 612.
Installing a standpipe would cost between $1,500 and $2,000 each, but could vary according to location, the report said.
Homeowners could also install their own standpipes to allow their backyard pools to be used for fighting fires, the report said.
Township Committeewoman Vanessa Sandom called the report "a good first step."
"It's a good overview of water availability in town," she said. "Now we have to go into different communities in town to see what we can do to improve access to water in our neighborhoods."

Why haven't we heard from you Robert? You must have some info to share about the article or accusations.
This criticism has about as much merit as the incidence of lipid accumulation in macorphages in the rats. The statistical methods that the FDA allows are weak anyway (standard error versus standard deviation). The importance of Arikace is the single dose per day to get an equivalent therapeutic effect to TOBI. I commented when the data first appeared that the FEV1 primary endpoint was not as pronounced as with the Phase IIb trial, but the difference there is 28 days of Rx to 56 days of Rx. But the main point, therapeutically, is to get as many inhalational sensitivity discs of different inhalational antibiotics on to a pour culture plate of Pa and see which antibiotic creates the largest zone of "no bacterial growth" among the test discs on the culture plate. The antibiotic with the largest kill zone will be the first choice antibiotic, then the second, then the third, etc. That is the primciple behind prescribing an inhalational antibiotic. I just hope that INSM is better at answering any FDA questions than they were about answering questions about foamy macrophages in August of 2011. That is why Whitten and LaBella are no longer at INSM. They underwhelmed the FDA with their knowledge of the "obvious science."
Sentiment: Hold
Thanks for your input Robert....
Thanks for the response Robert. The article is much to do about nothing. Unfortunately the ill-informed panic and the usual morons try to validate the article and author.
toos bad Insmeed not answer these questions to da FDA cuz dis goes to EU.

Other films opening over the weekend didn't fare as well. The crime thriller "Parker," starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez, debuted in fifth place with $7 million, while Relativity Media's raunchy ensemble comedy "Movie 43" opened in ...

What is Inside a Baby Rattle?
Haven't you wondered what's inside your baby rattle?
I blogged about a disgusting discovery inside our baby rattles in 2005. I'm repeating the essential information here with a jumbo 2007 photo, below. Hey, it's true what they say, everything really is bigger in the future.
We purchased two rattles made of colorful woven plastic strands from an upscale women's boutique. We were naive back then about plastic safety, and about the capability of a rattle to leach chemicals after a simple rinsing with water (think rust).
When my daughter outgrew the rattles, I took scissors to them to recycle the bells that I was sure lay inside. Oops, wrong guess. Try two beans and a rusty bottle cap from a drink made in Mexico. The rattles had no labels or packaging, no brand name.
Fast forward to yesterday. A friend gave us some of her old infant stuff for our pending baby that was a bit hit-and-miss. Four baby rattles were included that we wouldn't even give away because they were disgustingly soiled or made from unidentified plastic.
Oh goody, time to whip out a hammer and scissors.
These specimens revealed probably what you expect rattles to contain – plastic containers filled with metal balls or bells. Still, for your own edification, here are the photos…
Update: To clarify why our friend would give us disgusting toys… we told her we are planning to have a garage sale (which may or may not happen because they're a pain-in-the-ass to hold versus just donating your stuff to a nonprofit).
A few days later, the friend spontaneously gave us several plastic bags full of toys that I infer had been sitting in a garage for some time. The message was, take what you want, sell the rest and keep the money, she just wanted them out of her house. Uhh, yeah. In any case, if she was purely intending to give us baby gifts, I know she would have cleaned everything (though still probably not have given us these rattles).
