Professional athletes live the life that most people dream about. They enjoy large paychecks, big endorsement deals and national publicity. Throughout their careers, they are loved and adored by fans in their respective sports. Upon retirement, most professional athletes also have a league-sponsored pension plan to look forward to. Surprisingly, pension plans vary greatly among different sports, with some leagues providing players with lots of perks, and others offering players the bare minimum.
In Pictures: 9 Ways To Go Bankrupt
NBA players have one of the most generous pension plans in all of professional sports. They are vested into their pension plans after playing at least three seasons in the league. The minimum benefit for a player that retires at the age of 62 is $56,988 per year - not a bad retirement for a three-year career. The maximum benefit for any player is $195,000, and it takes 11 years of NBA service to qualify for this benefit.
But that's not all! NBA players are also eligible to participate in a league-sponsored 401(k). Do you think your 401(k) plan is good with a 50% matching policy? The NBA matches player's contributions up to 140%. (Learn more about retirement plans in Independent 401(K): A Top Retirement Vehicle For Sole Proprietors.)
The NFL could stand for "Not For Long," with the average career lasting only three years - just enough to qualify for the league's pension plan. The league's plan is based on years of service in the league. Players who retired in the '80s and '90s receive anywhere from $3,000-5,640 per month for every season played in the NFL. Newly retired players receive $5,640 dollars monthlyfor every year of service. Players with 10 years of service receive an additional retirement bonus in the form of an annuity.
Players are eligible to receive their full benefits at the age of 55. While the pension plan is much worse than other sports, the NFL does offer a generous 401(k) plan. The league matches every player's contribution up to 200%. (Housing your retirement plan inside a variable annuity contract offers some big advantages, but only if you are close to retirement. Find out more, in Should Your 401(k) Be In An Annuity?)
Major League Baseball has the best pension program in all of sports. A big league player needs just 43 days of service to qualify for a pension benefit. Forty-three days of service can guarantee an MLB player a $34,000 per year pension benefit. One day on an active roster qualifies a player for full comprehensive medical benefits.
Major league baseball players become fully vested in their pensions after 10 years of service. It is not uncommon for retired baseball players with over 10 years of service to receive over $100,000 annually upon reaching the age of 62. Baseball has the most well-funded pension program with estimates valuing the plan at over half a billion dollars.
NHL players can start withdrawing their pension benefits at the age of 45. Players are not fully vested, however, until the age of 45. NHL pensions require that a player be active for at least 160 games to qualify for the maximum pension benefit. Players with less than 160 games of service receive the maximum benefit under Canadian law, and players with 160 games or more of service receive the maximum pension under U.S. law, which is $45,000 annually. (The maximum amount you may borrow from your qualified plan is either 50% of your vested balance or $50,000, whichever is less. Find out more, in Borrowing From Your Plan.)
The PGA has the most convoluted pension plan of all of the major sports. The amount of money in a professional golfer's retirement account is not guaranteed. It is based on their performance during the season, position on the money list and the number of cuts made during the season. Players are rewarded with contributions for participating in and playing well in tour events. Players earn funding as they participate in more and more tour events. Players also earn contributions of $3,800 and up for each cut that is made.
The best part of the PGA's pension plan is that successful players can accumulate millions of dollars in their retirement account at the end of their career. The downside is that players that miss cuts and perform poorly will be left with virtually nothing in their pensions.
The Bottom Line
As you can see, athletes in different sports have totally different retirements to look forward to. Whereas athletes in MLB and the NBA can look forward to fat cushy paychecks after their playing days are over, NHL and NFL players will have significantly far less to work with.

A World Trade Organization (WTO) appellate body issued a report today affirming the United States victory in the U.S. challenge to India's "localization" rules, which discriminated against imported solar cells and modules under India's National Solar Mission.
Smart policies that support solar manufacturing will grow American jobs throughout the clean energy supply chain and ensure a robust domestic industry. Already, solar manufacturing employs over 29,000 Americans across more than 650 sites and has contributed to the solar industry's rise as one of the fastest growing economic sectors in America.
Current Trade Disputes
SEIA works to inform member companies, the public, and policymakers about the advantages of international trade in solar energy. We support and advocate for a fair and transparent global trading system. In order to accomplish these goals, SEIA monitors ongoing international trade disputes in solar photovoltaic products. In addition, SEIA supports international collaboration in order to prevent unnecessary or damaging trade conflict.
U.S.-China Trade Case
In the face of the current U.S-China solar trade dispute, SEIA has stepped forward to leverage its authority to help Washington and Beijing realize the sector is too important for the world's energy security to jeopardize with more trade wars.
Collaboration on International Trade
Increasing tension in the global solar industry threatens to slow the rapid deployment of solar energy products. Solar energy is a proven technology, and escalating trade conflicts will have broader implications as the world is on the cusp of widespread adoption of solar. Building consensus on government best practices, including acceptable forms of industry support, can help reduce trade barriers and ultimately increase the adoption of solar worldwide.
Local Content Provisions
As countries look to strengthen their clean energy sector in the wake of the recession, many existing government programs and those under consideration have begun to include some kind of local content requirement. SEIA is monitoring the development of local content provisions and will work to decrease these trade barriers to strengthen exports of U.S. solar products.
Critical Materials & Rare Earths
Although used in small amounts, rare earth minerals and other critical minerals are an essential element to the development and manufacturing of solar technologies.

"It sure as hell doesn't feel like Thanksgiving," Todd said today as we were driving down the Red Road, windows down, Al Green playing in the background, eighty-something degrees, sun just roasting our skin, typical day off, doing errands in Pahoa.
We're both from Chicago and Thanksgiving in Chicago is more like: driving your car through crowded streets, shoppers everywhere getting their Thanksgiving Sale on, Christmas music ad nauseum spilling out of every store and restaurant, scarf weather, boots weather. Not a bad scene either, we reminisced.
So this is my first tropical Thanksgiving with this new group of kids and I couldn't be more happy and thankful for all that has happened this year. For all the lessons, for all the tragedies, for all the moments of redemption, for all the people I've met, for the embrace of this beautiful island and I couldn't imagine celebrating this holiday elsewhere.
We're all away from our families this holiday. And as one of my great friends, Marco, said today to me, "because we're in the jungle and so far away from the mainland and our families, holidays like this bring us so much closer to each other, we cling on."
There's something about surrogate families. The family we create outside our bloodline. The people we choose to love and surround ourselves with are truly reflections of who we really are. They are our mirrors, they become our foundations, they become the fire within us to live the best and most compassionate lives we can. They come from all over the world (especially at a place like Kalani which seems to just be magnet for super cool folks) and imagine all the stories and fates and destinies that have to line up to get us all here at this time, in this moment. From a fated conversation to a lost job to a random article read in the New York Times – whatever the catalyst was that sparked the idea to come to Kalani, it is all connected to this larger and more profound web that is constantly being spun, that is constantly connecting us.
Todd is going to cook some turkey on the grill tomorrow which he helped build for Kalani years ago when he was here last. His name as well as this Japanese kid's name, Ichiban, is carved into the cement. We bought the wine and the beer from town today and we're pretty set. We're going to set up Thanksgiving games on his lawn and have it be an all day affair. Corn hole (aka bean bags), football, Frisbee, dodgeball… you name it, we're going to play it.
I'm also going to take this filmmaker, Alli, a guest here, who is doing a film on Kalani volunteers, on a real estate tour of A-Frame land tomorrow. We're going right after breakfast and I'll be playing host. My TV days have begun, apparently. As my friend Claire Cooey (aka Cooooooooeeey) says, "who am I?" It's her signature motto when we wake up every morning and have our "morning meetings" about the day before and always there is a story which makes us both wonder "who are we?"
I took a guest from the Gaia group on a real-estate tour yesterday of A-frame land. She was just walking across the lawn and wanted to take a peek. So we A-frame hopped. She owns a healing center in Australia. She's angelic --- long blonde hair, deep blue eyes, a flowing white sundress on, she practically walks as if she was levitating. She asked me what brought me here.
"Magic," I said. "I got a random email from who knows who on the day I was laid off from my job. I went into my office and wondered what the hell I was going to do next and there in my inbox was an email about Kalani's Volunteer Program. I still don't know to this day who sent it to me, to my work email of all places. It was so illogical, it was so random, I knew it was the next adventure. "
She asked if this was enough for me. If I was happy. That day (yesterday) I spent the whole day hopping from the sauna, to the pool, to the hot tub with my friend Marco and Chris Angel. We soaked up the sun, we made English Breakfast tea, we drank lots of water and I swam around the pool with my snorklers under water for hours pulling Marco around in his round float with just one finger linked to his. I did back strokes away from the reclining six-ton Buddha in our meditation garden existing between these beautiful bamboo trees. I've had the most wonderful conversations all day. I was told that this gorgeous man named Reese, a master of martial arts, covered in tattoos, with the lightest bluest eyes you just want to dive in and never surface, his friend told me in the sauna, "I'm not supposed to say anything to you, but my friend over there has been admiring your beauty all morning. He thinks you're so beautiful." I've gotten and given at least thirty kisses all day and who knows how many warm hugs. I live in a great lil' a-frame. I love people so much that it hurts sometimes, but it's worth it. Yeah, I think this is enough for me. Yeah, I think I'm happy.
"What did you used to do in your past life," she asked.
"I was an editor for three magazines in Chicago," I answered.
"Life was insane. And now I am here," I said, as I opened my arms in the middle of the jungle encompassing "here" while Tangerine (our resident orange cat in our neighborhood) meowed at us as if confirming that yes, life is good, there is plenty to be grateful for. "Word."
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Wherever you are, I hope you are surrounded by wonderful people, lots of laughter, and love.

Fixed. And I like these charcoal ones as well, but I guess they're too similar to my oiled black pair. Later on, Dayton may offer these boots in Horween leathers........and hopefully some shell.
Walked around all day today in the city and these just felt great. Nicest urban boots I've owned.
thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info--you mention you have both versions of the service boot, but only said the W+H pair is awesome. Were your house-versions from their rough patch?

As the Miami Heat's 27-game win streak came to a bitter end in Chicago on Wednesday, a timeless debate resurfaced: who is the greatest player in NBA history? Despite the fact that LeBron James and his team fell short in the house that Michael built, James has begun to show signs that he's superior to Jordan.
Basketball enthusiasts and purists are seldom comfortable with challenging Michael's position as the "G.O.A.T." They look at his myriad of accolades, competitive fire and assertion of dominance as key factors in being the most talented player this game has ever seen. However athletically, James has a clear edge on the man he once idolized.
At 6'8″, 250 pounds, James is a man among boys in a league filled with dominant athletes. He was a highly touted football star as well as a basketball phenomenon throughout his high school career. His conditioning and brute strength coincide with lightning-quick speed and sensational footwork, making James nearly indefensible.
Early in his career, James could be forced to shoot an outside shot and defenders would hope to contain his driving abilities. The ever-improving James now shoots 39% from downtown and is a consistent threat all over the floor. His post-game has shown significant improvement from his days in Cleveland as well.
As a defensive presence, LeBron James is a menace. Although his career blocks and steals do not even compare to Jordan's, James posts a better career defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) coupled with a better block percentage. However, DWS (Defensive Win Shares) is the most important defensive statistic of all, measuring total estimated wins attributed to a player's defense. Through nearly 10 NBA seasons, LeBron James has 47.5 DWS. Michael Jordan's 10-year DWS was 42.1.
In his first nine seasons in the NBA, James is ahead of Jordan's 9-year pace in total rebounds and assists. Additionally, James has so far posted 36 career triple-doubles while Jordan had 28 in his entire career. Despite a clear advantage in this category, LeBron could have almost twice as many triple-doubles as he currently does. On 24 separate occasions James has been one rebound or assist short of a triple-double. If he hadn't come up short on all of these opportunities, his career triple-doubles mark would be at 60, instead of 36.
Numbers never lie, but they can be deceiving. A large portion of statistical categories belong to Jordan, but James's career is nowhere near over. Right now, LeBron James is not the greatest player of all time. Although he's spent a decade in the NBA we cannot decipher his greatness just yet. When all is said and done, James' accolades will speak for themselves.
"Five beats one every time I look at it" once said his airiness not too long ago regarding the James vs. Bryant debate. As far as titles and 80+ point games go, Bryant has the edge on James. He also has 20 more career win shares (estimated number of wins contributed by a player). However, Bryant is 6 years older than LeBron and continually produces at a high level. He also has a ring for every finger on one hand, while James believes that his one ring can be placed on a particular finger towards his critics. But can greatness truly be measured by playoff success?
At the pace James is setting, he will likely surpass Jordan and Bryant in categories that don't include titles. Jordan has five career regular season MVP's, while James is on track for his fourth at the end of this season. All-star games are somewhat irrelevant when fans are allowed to vote, but James needs only 5 more to tie Jordan's mark of 14. Michael Jordan was named to 10 all-NBA first teams, and LeBron James will be named to his 7th in a few weeks.
Intangibles might be the most important aspect of determining a G.O.A.T. Competitive edge and overcoming adversity are two factors that Jordan and James share. Both men experienced adversity in their childhood. James dealt with poverty and growing up in a single-parent home, with basketball as his outlet. Jordan was cut from his high school varsity team his sophomore year, but persevered and was eventually named a McDonald's All-American his senior year.
Both athletes possess a competitive fire and desire to win, but Jordan rarely experienced criticism at the level that LeBron has. Leaving Cleveland for South Beach turned James into somewhat of a villainous figure in pro sports. The pressure to win a championship weighed on him until the end of last season, and he has since become a more admirable and charismatic athlete. Jordan never had pressure to be great. He was always great in the eyes of the fans, and possessed nearly every quality of the perfect role model.
Who is the G.O.A.T.? Myriad answers will span generations. Jordan, James and perhaps even Kobe Bryant will be considered as fans continue to debate this hot-button issue that rages on in basketball culture and lore.

Grandmaster Flash - Mixing Bullets and Firing Joints (2005) Retail CD
Part of the exhaustive Salsoul reissue campaign undertaken by the U.K.'s Suss'd label in the early 2000s, Mixing Bullets and Firing Joints is the same exact release as Salsoul Jam 2000 (released in 1997 by Believe in Music), only with a different title and much more attractive artwork. Unsurprisingly, Grandmaster Flash displays great knowledge of his subject -- the Blue Note of disco -- with equal love for the label's elegant/organic and pop/electronic-driven sides. Most of the expected classics ("I Got My Mind Made Up," "Let No Man Put Asunder," "Love Sensation," "Ten Percent," "Runaway") aremore…

Amazon clinches deal to buy Middle East online retailer Souq.com
DUBAI Amazon.com has agreed to buy Middle East online retailer Souq.com, thwarting a last-minute bid by Dubai billionaire Mohamed Alabbar's Emaar Malls .
LONDON Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) made 30 U.S. acquisitions as it expanded during the past quarter of a century, and the talk now is that retrenchment means its 31st deal will see it selling the lot.
Citizens - valued at up to $13.6 billion by Credit Suisse - is increasingly seen as an adjunct to RBS, whose chief executive Stephen Hester is focused on British retail and commercial banking and a slimmed down investment bank.
While RBS, 81 percent state-owned since a bailout, maintains Citizens is a core asset, it is coming under political and regulatory pressure to consider a sale.
"I think it will happen in the next year or two. It makes sense for business reasons and timing," said Chira Barua, senior banks analyst at Sanford Bernstein in London.
"This is a franchise that could be far more profitable for one of the U.S. or Canadian banks. There is much more cross-selling potential for them and they would be able to milk the franchise better than RBS does," he said.
Hester has said Citizens may be sold, although he would prefer it did not happen now. "It would be selling an asset before it has maximized its value and before the market is profitably valuing financial assets. And so it would not help shareholder value," he said this month.
The danger is the decision may not be left to Hester.
UK Financial Investments, which looks after Britain's stake in RBS and also in Lloyds (LLOY.L), and the Financial Services Authority have written to the board saying it should consider selling Citizens, people familiar with the matter have said.
UKFI head Jim O'Neil told lawmakers last month the future of Citizens was "among the strategic issues" he had discussed with RBS. [ID:nL5E8LN6VE]
Britain could begin selling its 81 percent stake in RBS before the next election in 2015. A sale of Citizens would provide investors with a clearer picture of what they would be buying.
The FSA wants banks to bolster capital. There is also political pressure to cut executive pay.
Ellen Alemany, who has run Citizens for five years, gets far more than Hester, having been paid 11 million pounds ($17 million) in total in the past two years including past and future long-term performance awards.
All together, that has left suitors aware of the opportunity, even if RBS has not been actively touting the business, several bankers said.
Citizens could fetch $8.8-$13.6 billion, Credit Suisse analysts estimated, adding a sale was a matter of time and would be part of RBS's next phase of restructuring.
Citizens, a good franchise in the attractive north-east United States, should attract a slim premium to its book value, bankers said. That would be appealing for RBS, whose shares trade at about half that metric.
Canadian group Toronto Dominion Bank (TD.TO) was seen as the most likely buyer, as a deal would lift it to the fifth-biggest bank in the United States, from ninth, and yield big synergies.
TD Bank held informal discussions with RBS about Citizens, the New York Post newspaper reported in August.
"People ask about businesses all the time. We are not in active discussions with anybody in relation to the sale of Citizens," an RBS spokesman said on Friday.
T.D. Bank declined to comment.
U.S. regional banks PNC (PNC.N) and U.S. Bancorp (USB.N) and other Canadian names such as Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO) would also take a look, bankers said, as could Brazilian company Itau Unibanco (ITUB4.SA) or Japanese lender Mitsubishi UFJ (8306.T), two of the world's 20 biggest banks.
TD Bank may tie up with a regional U.S. bank to make a deal more digestible, and M&T Bank (MTB.N), Fifth-Third (FITB.O), Huntington (HBAN.O) or KeyCorp (KEY.N) could be interested in parts of the network, Credit Suisse analysts said.
The problem for suitors is that RBS would want cash, and Citizens would take some swallowing, even in pieces. Risk appetite is low across an industry where executives are wary of the economic and regulatory outlook. That said, the threat of another economic dip could spur the FSA or RBS into action.
"What happens if the U.S. gets into a recession next year if we fail to resolve the fiscal cliff? Citizens will definitely be impacted. That is one stroke that can upset the recovery story and push it back three or four years," Bernstein's Barua said.
RBS said its U.S. retail and commercial arm made a nine-month operating profit of 554 million pounds, 19 percent of the group's total and up 54 percent as costs and bad debts fell.
While RBS has had a presence in the United States since 1960, its adventure there only took off with the 1988 purchase of Citizens, based in Rhode Island.
Subsequent deals have swelled its assets to $132 billion, ranking Citizens as the 15th biggest U.S. bank. It has 1,400 branches across 13 states and about 19,000 staff.
One deal, the 2004 purchase of mid-west bank Charter One for $10.5 billion prompted an analyst to accuse former chief executive Fred Goodwin of megalomania, and stoked fears RBS was leaving its capital cushion perilously thin.

While the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle is quickly becoming a popular Nihonmachi (Japantown) full of new restaurants, the original Nihonmachi still has a couple of gems. The James Beard Foundation named Maneki, now 108 years old, an American Classic in 2008. But just around the corner is the lesser-known Tsukushinbo. It's easy to miss, but pass by during the daytime on a Friday, and you won't miss the long line of people who know about the limited bowls of home-style ramen—served for lunch just that one day a week. Tsukushinbo's quality menu, though, goes well beyond just noodles and broth.
Tsukushinbo is small and homey, reminiscent of many restaurants in Japan. In addition to a scattering of tables, there's a wrap-around sushi bar that sports 8 seats. I recommend taking one of those seats so that you can talk directly with the sushi chef to find out what's especially fresh and delicious. On a recent night, that meant some recently arrived aji (horse mackerel) and local uni, as well as sweet shrimp known as Amaebi ($6 for two pieces). The chef removes the heads (back to that in a second) and then butterflies the shrimp, laid on a block of rice as nigiri. As the name suggests, the shrimp is seriously sweet, almost candy-like, spiked with a whisper of wasabi and dipped (that's your job) in just a little soy sauce.
But when you place that order for amaebi, be sure to ask for the heads. They go back to the kitchen, where they're lightly battered, typically with potato starch, before the cook deep-fries and salts them to serve. Add a little squeeze of lemon if you want an acidic note; either way, you've got a savory, crisp bite to contrast the softness of the sweet meat. Just be careful of the shrimp's pointy feelers!
The kitchen at Tsukushinbo is quite adept at sending out quality cooked food. The Ippins (small plates) are especially interesting, and reasonably priced. Some are in the printed menu, and some are showcased on the blackboard of specials, but only in Japanese. It's on the board that a friend once found a dish generically named Ika Special ($6.95). "Ika" is easily understood as squid, but "Special" is mysterious—it could mean anything.
In Japan, you might find this dish called ika wata ni, or squid and liver stew. Well, in my book, that's certainly special! It comes with squid—body and tentacles—that essentially simmers in its own guts. Shiokara is a similar but markedly more pungent dish, in which the squid is salted and ferments in its innards. But at Tsukushinbo, the reddish-brown gravy is seasoned with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and some secret ingredients the chef wouldn't divulge; he says it's his mother's recipe. The flavor has a mineral quality, offset by the bitterness of daikon, itself an pleasant contrast to the chewy squid. If you're adventurous, you'll impress the staff by ordering this dish. It may not appear on the menu board, but you can request it regardless—just be sure to complement it with a glass of good sake or beer.

Enduring Ways to Memorialize a Loved One
As you work through the grieving process, it's natural to feel like the whole world is shifting under your feet. In such times, it's healing to keep a reminder of your loved one nearby. Traditionally, that reminder came in the form of a gravestone.
Previous American generations regularly visited gravestone memorial tributes to visit with the dead. Today, however, many Americans are opting for cremation, given the incredible environmental impacts and costs of a traditional burial. Furthermore, American families are often so spread out across the country that they can't easily visit the graves of loved ones. In such circumstances, it's wonderful to have a memorial of your loved one nearby. Memorial tributes can help you remember and honor the deceased.
Some remembrance gifts don't last very long – it's hard to keep a memorial wreath looking good for more than a couple of weeks, for example. The following list of memorial tributes will endure far into the future, helping you with remembering a lost loved one for decades.
1. LifeGem Diamonds
If you want your memorial to last forever, incorporate your loved one's remains into the most endurable stone on earth, the diamond. LifeGem diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in almost every respect – the one exception being that they contain your loved one's ashes or hair. LifeGem's patented process transforms your loved one's carbon (hair or ashes) into a diamond with the identical molecular structure of a natural diamond. This lasting memorial one can be worn around your neck every day to keep your loved one close. LifeGem diamonds make excellent memorial gifts, as well.
2. Online Memorials
An online memorial is a beautiful, lasting way of remembering a lost loved one. You can include pictures, songs and stories about your family member or friend, and you can share the memorial page with others. Most memorial sites offer a free online memorial option, making this one of the most affordable, long-lasting memorial tributes available today.
3. Living Memorial Tributes: Trees, Bulbs, and Shrubs
Are you remembering a lost loved one who had a special affinity with the earth? Or was your lost family member a lifelong green thumb? If so, consider planting living memorial tributes that will grow for years to come. Choose a tree, perennial bulb or shrub that reminds you of your loved one. Plant it in a special place where you will be able to enjoy it with every season. Finally, place your loved one's ashes in the soil beneath the plant. Scattering ashes encourages plant growth – assuming you don't drown the plants in ashes, they should do well as the years tick by.
4. Memorial Jewelry
In addition to LifeGem diamonds, you have many other choices when it comes to memorial jewelry. Your loved one's ashes may be incorporated into artful glass earrings, necklaces or bracelets. Oftentimes, the unique swirling pattern of the ashes in the glass makes these memorial gifts even more beautiful. Memorial jewelry can be as ornate or as simple as you like. Some memorial necklaces are simple, small silver containers in which you can carry your loved one's ashes.
5. Handmade Art.
Your memorial tributes can do more than help you in remembering a lost loved one—they can also support American artists. For example, Shine On Brightly offers handmade memorial gifts such as vases, urns, textile art and paintings. This unique company is based in Asheville, North Carolina, home to some of the South's leading artisans and craftspeople. Artists can often incorporate your loved one's ashes into memorial tributes. For instance, Shine On Brightly offers memorial glass pieces with ashes swirled into the design.
Whichever one of these memorial tributes you choose, you'll find that the process of creating memorial tributes can help heal your grief.

text: Bakersfield soldier Samuel Van Kopp speaks out regarding current condition 4:46 PM, Oct 26, 2012 Share Article Facebook Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Bakersfield soldier, Lt. Samuel Van Kopp is speaking out regarding his path to recovery after he was injured in Afghanistan. A troop from Bakersfield was critically wounded in a suicide bomb attack while on Army patrol in Afghanistan early Sept. 26. Kopp, 24, a 2006 honors graduate of Bakersfield High School who went on to the United States Military Academy at West Point, was struck by shrapnel when a suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives detonated the device. According to his father, Lieutenant Samuel Van Kopp can now walk with some help and can stand on his own. He is also able to eat, drink, and carry on conversations. However, his father also said that his son is having trouble with headaches and recognizing faces because he can't focus on his vision. %page_break% Samuel Kopp has since released a statement regarding his current health. I've been in the Richmond VA for the last couple of days. This is an old facility with a driven staff who facilitate rehabilitation therapies 7 hours a day. Every day I get a bit stronger in their care. My problems with reading persist, particularly with text backlit on a TV or computer screen. The optometrists at Walter Reed believe my problems are two-fold. The ball-bearing that went into my brain is lodged in a place where it doesn't seem to be doing much harm, and the neuro-surgeons have decided to leave it in place. The body will likely coat the fragment with tissue over time, further isolating it. But it did pass through the area of my brain associated with vision, and also knicked the optical nerve. The second problem is that the gel behind my cornea that forms the bulk of the eyeball was agitated by the force of the explosion. The opthalmologists believe that it may take a few months for the gel to settle and my normal eyesight to return. Past that my problems are physiological. I'm weak. At 5'11", in Afghanistan I weighed around 190 lbs. Now I punch in at 155. I can walk for an hour or so, bike for half that, but then I need a break. Despite being generously medicated, Nausea and vertigo sometimes get the better of me. Weight-lifting and running right now would be more humorous than productive. These are all First World Problems. I'm surrounded-as I was at Walter Reed-by men who gave far more, whose wounds are monstrous and terrifying yet borne with a stoicism that shames me. I am very fortunate. I am reminded such when I think of SSG Sparks and SGT Gollnitz, whose memorial service at Schweinfurt occurred on the 23rd. I think also of my platoon in Afghanistan, still running combat patrols against a determined enemy who engages them daily. All sides have an eye out for the first snows that will signal the end of the fighting season. But it hasn't snowed yet. On the 31st of October I will return to Walter Reed. There the ENT doctors will remove the packing from my right ear canal, and will assess whether I can fly, or whether I need to remain in Richmond a few more weeks. If The former, a small army of social workers, army liasons, and health care administrators will decide whether I go to the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, to a Warrior Transition Brigade at a nearby Army Post, or home for outpatient care as a Medical Examination Review Board determines if I am to stay in the Army, return to my unit, or reclassify to a branch that doesn't involve jumping out of airplanes. For now my future, like everyone else's, remains unknown. I am continually overawed by the support that my family and I have received, from friends all over Bakersfield and the United States. I can't articulate how much easier recovery is when you know that a legion of people stand behind you. I don't know how anyone gets by without it. My Mom is typing this, but I hope soon to be able to write back to the messages and letters I have received. Thank you so very much. Godspeed Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
The Grantville Stakeholders Committee, a group that last met in July 2011, voted on September 5 to recommend that an environmental impact report should analyze the "Alternative D" land-use plan that extends Mission Gorge Place through the property occupied by the Toyota dealership on Mission Gorge Road.
City project manager Brian Schoenfisch spoke about Alternative D, the plan for the portion of Grantville north of I-8 and on both sides of Fairmount Avenue and Mission Gorge Road up to Zion Avenue. Land-uses include residential mixed-use, with the potential for approximately 8275 residential units.
North of the 8, Fairmount branches off to the left; the rest of the street becomes Mission Gorge Road. Intersections include Mission Gorge Place. A left turn onto Mission Gorge Place leads into a center with businesses that include a Roberto's Taco Shop.
"The [extended] road is going through my building," said Conant Auto Retail Group CEO David Conant, whose dealerships include Toyota San Diego. His statement prompted a discussion of whether the extension had been on the map. Chair Matt Adams checked online and said it was on the map that the committee saw in January 2011.
Talk about deleting the extension led Schoenfisch to caution that traffic studies were "based on the road going through." Eliminating it "was essentially undoing Alternative D." He said additional studies would be done during the process.
Committee member Dan Smith, a property owner, spoke earlier about issues related to Alvarado Creek flooding. "If you don't fix the roads or creek, we're not doing squat," he said. He joined in the vote recommending Alternative D.
Marilyn Reed cast the only "no" vote, saying she was concerned about analyzing "studies with the road going through Toyota and Dan's property."
Conant and Smith discussed the issue in separate interviews on September 6.
In 2001, Conant bought the dealership formerly known as Rose Toyota. It opened in 1957 and was one of the first Toyota dealerships in the United States, he said. Conant said a Toyota representative attended every meeting, and he thought Twain Avenue would be extended instead of Mission Gorge Place. "We support what's in the best interest of the community," he said. "There's no immediate threat. It could be 10, 20, or 30 years. When they're ready to put the street through, maybe we'll remodel."
Smith said property owners were prevented from developing until road and flooding issues were resolved. "We could turn Grantville into a nice little village," he said.
The next planning group meeting is scheduled for September 16.
The dealer's site is not optimally located? NOW you tell him. Another gift from our former district 7 councilmember, Jim Madaffer. The gift that keeps on giving...

Turning Lunar Dust into Gold
On Hawai`i's Mauna Kea volcano, which rises over 13,000 feet above sea level, there is a mid-level base facility where scientists can pretend they are on the Moon. Hawai`i's volcanic terrain, soil and remote environment provide an ideal environment for testing instruments and equipment that someday may be used by astronauts at a lunar base.
Recently, a team of scientists working for the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) demonstrated its first field test for NASA's In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Project. Research Operations Manager John Hamilton supported the mission simulation to show how astronauts will be able to prospect for resources on the Moon to make their own oxygen, fuel and water from lunar rocks and soil. A key motivation of these experiments is the fact that almost half the moon, by weight, is made of oxygen.
Representatives from four NASA space centers (Johnson, Kennedy, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Glenn Research Center) were at the test site. Engineers from the Canadian and German space agencies also were at the site, as were representatives from Carnegie Mellon University, Lockheed Martin, and Michelin North America – making this field test a true global effort.
The crew convened at a small campsite located at the bottom of a rough and narrow four-wheel-drive road. For some, this field test was their first chance to meet and work with their colleagues outside of a lab. Much of the equipment had been developed by teams working in different locations. During the two week field test, the crew worked through complications that arose as the different pieces of hardware were brought together for the first time.
Strong winds had been gusting for days, reaching up to 45 mph. Most of the crew were bundled in protective clothing, with eye protection, dust masks, large hats, ear plugs and gloves. Any area left exposed would be covered in a layer of gritty dust, as was the large platter of papayas, pineapple and other exotic fruit the scientists had brought in from Hilo. Although wind will never be an issue on the Moon, the dust added an unexpected level of realism to the operation.
"We know we have to do deal with lunar dust," said Jerry Sanders, ISRU Project Manager at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center. "We just didn't know we had to deal with it right now!"
Moon Tools
The type of dust that attracted the engineers to Hawai`i is called "tephra," a fine, powder-like material that is ejected during a volcanic eruption. Tephra works well in the prototype chemical processing units because it mimics the dust found on the Moon.
A NASA-developed rover called SCARAB showed how a prospecting rover could dig beneath the dusty lunar surface to process soil in order to extract oxygen. A similar rover on the Moon could look for water ice and volatile gases such as hydrogen, helium and nitrogen in the permanently shadowed craters of the Moon's poles.
Larger systems could produce oxygen from greater quantities of Moon soil. Roxygen (developed by NASA) and the Precursor In Situ Resource Utilization Lunar Oxygen Testbed, or PILOT (developed by Lockheed Martin) both feature a hydrogen reduction system that can produce and store oxygen from soil.
"We're trying to make the lunar outposts more self-sustaining," explained Tom Simon, head of the OPTIMA program at NASA's Johnson Space Flight Center, which is overseeing the development of the PILOT and ROxygen test units. "We want to produce oxygen, but we also want to extract oxygen from the regolith so that we can combine it with what's left of the residual hydrogen from the descent tanks and make water. Our goal is to never send a tank of oxygen or a tank of water to the Moon."
During this field test, a robotic excavator, similar in size and weight to those currently exploring the planet Mars, showed how soil could be extracted and delivered to the ROxygen system. Also tested was an excavator that uses a bucket drum to collect and deliver soil to the PILOT system.
"It's one thing to test these instruments in the laboratory," said Hamilton, "but that really doesn't tell you how it will perform during a lunar mission. Our challenge is to replicate those conditions as closely as possible to ensure that the test results will be a true reflection of how these instruments will perform on the Moon."
Advanced Life Support
NASA's lunar exploration plan says that on-site lunar resources could generate about one to two metric tons of oxygen per year, enough to support four to six people annually. Since it takes about 100 kilograms (kg) of soil to get 1 kg of oxygen, team leaders are looking at electrostatic and magnetic separation techniques to possibly concentrate the soil and increase the production rate. Next June, for example, testing will begin on a process that could potentially draw as much as 10 or 20 kg of oxygen out of every 100 kg of soil.
Other concepts tested at the PISCES test site included a new lunar wheel developed by Michelin North America, a sample coring drill developed by the Northern Center for Advanced Technology in Canada, and a night vision camera developed by Neptec for navigation and drill site selection. The wheel has plastic spokes that can absorb shocks, prevent flats and give better traction. The coring drill is a small unit that can autonomously dig beneath the surface without any "down-the-hole" electric components.
"We hope to make sure that we are not missing any process steps," said Simon. "We are just getting a handle on where our starting point is based on the precursors. This equipment will get smaller and more compact each and every year."
The Canadian Space Agency is also contributing a utility support vehicle for personnel and hardware transportation, and the German Space Agency is developing an autonomous mole drill, which can burrow deep beneath the surface to search for water or other resources.
Frank Schowengerdt, director of PISCES, explains that the Center uses state funding and working agreements from public and private partners, including several universities, to involve students from around the world in space research. "In the next two years, PISCES will conduct research and testing on the Big Island, and we will be major contributors to the space exploration programs of several countries planning missions to the Moon, including the United States."

Freaknik was an annual spring break meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, primarily of students from historically black colleges and universities.[1] Begun in 1983 as a small picnic near the Atlanta University Center, it was initially sponsored by the DC Metro Club [1] and was typically held during the third weekend in April to coincide with the schools of the Atlanta University Center's Reading Day. The event increased in size and popularity in the 1990s with dancing, drinking, parties, a basketball tournament, rap sessions, a film festival and a job fair.[2]The D.C. Metro Club that started the freaknic was not from Clark University. The D.C. Metro Club consisted of college students from Morehouse College and Spelman College.
Freaknik was conceived in March 1983 in a dorm room on the second-floor of Thurman Hall at Morehouse College when Pat Stanback, a member of the DC Metro club, was challenged by a member of the California club about who would throw the biggest party. Pat brought the idea to the President of the DC Metro club and they voted on the name and sponsored the first Freaknik in April, 1983 at John White Park in Atlanta. The first few years alternated between John White Park and Adams Park with them announcing the location at the last minute in hopes of evading police.
Many students from the AUC, Atlanta University Center, attended and partied to music provided by Flash Attack Inc.. DJ Bam Bam Barney and DJ Flash did the first 2 annual gatherings. As it grew, the festival attracted upwards of 250,000 revelers to the city. However, as the freaknik grew in attendance Atlantans' reception of the festival was mixed. Many residents had attended and enjoyed Freaknik since it was started. Otherwise, Freaknik went largely unnoticed by most of the city.
The problems with Freaknik began in 1993, when the number of people coming to Atlanta for the event suddenly doubled to more than 80,000.
Many residents believe the City of Atlanta was caught off guard in 1993 by the increased number of people who came to the city for Freaknik. In some areas, the massive increase in cars on the road caused traffic to come to a halt, and the revelers got out of their cars and started roaming the streets. This in turn caused panic in some areas where people could not get home from their jobs, and they were trapped in areas where many revelers started harassing and yelling obscenities at residents. There were also several reports of violence, looting, rapes and other sexual assaults. All this showed Freaknik in a negative light, and Atlanta residents demanded that the city get control of the event.[3][4][5][6][6][7]
Social problems[edit]
Things came to a head in 1994-96, after the event swelled to 250,000 people from around the country, and as the crowds grew larger, so did the problems. With tens of thousands of more cars on the city's streets, many of Atlanta's major thoroughfares became gridlocked, which disrupted the day-to-day lives of the city's residents and impaired emergency services.[3]
Freaknik moves[edit]
Many Atlanta residents filed lawsuits and business and community leaders pressured Mayor Bill Campbell to end Freaknik or severely crack down on the event. By 1996, the Atlanta police were out in large numbers, making it difficult for the revelers to party in the streets and engage in other illegal behavior.[3] After city leaders took measures to curtail Freaknik's accessibility, its popularity faded. As a result, Freaknik moved East of Atlanta to Memorial Drive in DeKalb County, then to Daytona Beach, Florida. By 1999, celebration of the festival had died down due to heightened police security.
In April 2010, Atlanta officials said "there are no permitted Freaknik-related events inside the city limits." Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed also said that "he will be tough and even sue organizers of any Freaknik-related activities who violate city guidelines".[8]
Cultural influence[edit]
- Williams Street Studios produced a 1-hour special spoof titled Freaknik: The Musical based on the popular festival. The show aired on Adult Swim on March 7, 2010.[9]

'Cross-eyed and Had Facial Hair'
An ambassador to Dubai has annulled his marriage: his bride had never revealed herself, wearing the full Islamic face-covering Niqab on the occasions the couple had met. After the wedding he tenderly lifted the veil to kiss her...
...which is when, according to the BBC, he found she was "cross-eyed and had facial hair." The mysterious ambassador — who is revealed only to be from "an Arab country" — told a Sharia court that his bride's mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of her sister.
The court agreed to let him annul, but refused a claim for $130,000 in compensation for gifts he'd bought his special bearded lady.
It's been quite a week for broad humor from Arabic countries. Earlier it emerged that esteemed Pakistani diplomat Akbar Zeb had been refused a position as ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Because his name, in Arabic, apparently means "biggest dick."

The Red Chamber
About the Book
The Red Chamber
In this lyrical reimagining of the Chinese classic DREAM OF THE RED CHAMBER, set against the breathtaking backdrop of eighteenth-century Beijing, the lives of three unforgettable women collide in the inner chambers of the Jia mansion. When orphaned Daiyu leaves her home in the provinces to take shelter with her cousins in the Capital, she is drawn into a world of opulent splendor, presided over by the ruthless, scheming Xifeng and the prim, repressed Baochai. As she learns the secrets behind their glittering façades, she finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue and hidden passions, reaching from the petty gossip of the servants' quarters all the way to the Imperial Palace. When a political coup overthrows the emperor and plunges the once-mighty family into grinding poverty, each woman must choose between love and duty, friendship and survival.
In this dazzling debut, Pauline A. Chen draws the reader deep into the secret, exquisite world of the women's quarters of an aristocratic household, where the burnish of wealth and refinement mask a harsher truth: marriageable girls are traded like chattel for the family's advancement, and to choose to love is to risk everything.

We are first introduced to Hill Valley in the first Back to the Future film. As seen in 1985 the town's main feature is Courthouse Square, the site of the old courthouse clocktower that was struck by lightning on November 12, 1955. It was this lightning strike that damaged the clock, causing it to freeze at 10:04pm. Volunteers commonly circulate around the square taking donations to preserve the old clock as a historical landmark. An aerobics studio looks on to the square as well as a bank, movie-theater-turned-church, and porno theater. Moving away from the square one comes across Lyon Estates (home to the McFly family), the former site of Brown Mansion (which burned to the ground years ago; only the garage is left) next to a Burger King, Hill Valley High School, and the new upscale housing development Hilldale. No visit to Hill Valley is complete without a visit to Twin Pines Mall, the town's largest shopping center. Those who travel just outside of town to Clayton Ravine/Eastwood Ravine can take a look at a stretch of railroad that has existed in that spot for nearly one hundred years.
After Marty McFly is sent back in time in Doc Brown's DeLorean time machine we get to see Hill Valley in its glory days: 1955. Courthouse Square is bustling with activity and the clocktower chimes the hours. Lou's Cafe (the future site of the aerobics studio) is a popular hangout for teens, and be sure to take in a film at the movie theater (with air conditioning!). Hill Valley High School was clean and bright in this time period, and the students looked forward to the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance. Fans of architecture should drive by the glorious Brown Mansion, home of eccentric scientist Doc Brown. Fans of drive-in movies should visit the Indian-themed drive-in just outside of town.
When the DeLorean takes our heroes to the year 2015 in Back to the Future II we get to see that the future is a bright place indeed. The skyways are usually jammed (thanks to the popularity of hover conversions on older cars for a mere $49,999.95), but the peace of Courthouse Square has been maintained thanks to a No Landings ordinance. In the future the courthouse itself has become a mall and the center square has become a small reflecting pond. Kids frequently ride their hoverboards around the area by the pond and near the Cafe 80s (former site of Lou's Cafe) near the Holo-theater cinema. Nevermind the discarded silicone breast implants and laserdiscs that litter the alleyways. Interested in antiques? Be sure to visit Blast From The Past, a store that sells memorabilia from the past thirty years including Roger Rabbit toys, Nintendo Entertainment System games, dustbusters, Macintosh computers, and Gray's Sports Almanacs. The Hilldale housing development has been completed for nearly twenty-five years, but it has gone from an upscale development to a haven for tranks, lobos, and zipheads. In the event of major news one can pick up a copy of USA Today for a mere $6 almost anywhere, and when news breaks an automated USA Today camera drone will be on the scene within seconds. And yes, even in the future volunteers circulate around Courthouse Mall Square to collect donations to help save the clocktower.
When Biff Tannen stole the DeLorean and created an alternate reality, 1985-A, Hill Valley was transformed into a crime-ridden, polluted, hell-on-earth mess. Chalk outlines were scrawled on streets, burning remains of cars and homes outnumbered the livable homes, Hill Valley High School had burned to the ground, and the town courthouse had been transformed into Biff Tannen's Pleasure Palace, a massive hotel and casino complex. Local libraries had been closed down and abandoned, biker gangs roamed freely, and Biff Tannen ruled all.
The earliest form of Hill Valley was seen in Back to the Future III when Marty McFly and Doc Brown were trapped in 1885 for a while. The town was in its infancy here, having been founded in 1865, and the town's trademark clocktower was still under construction. In fact, the clock itself was only first activated on September 5, 1885. A saloon was in place of the future site of Lou's Cafe, and the other shops on the square included Doc Brown's blacksmith stable, a public bath, the undertaker's shop, butcher shop, and other "old west" stores. In this era outlaw Buford Tannen ran amok, doing as he pleased and generally getting away with it all. Just outside of town are the farm of Seamus McFly and family, the old Delgado Mine, and Shonash Ravine (the site of a new railroad bridge). Ironically, the Hill Valley 1885 set (which was left standing after filming was complete to become a tourist attraction) was destoyed when it was struck by a bolt of lightning and burned to the ground in 1996.
Hill Valley changed a lot over the 130 years of development seen in the Back to the Future Trilogy and the town itself came to be a character in the films. Hill Valley: A Nice Place To Live.

Reclaim the streets!
Williamsburg Walks, a car-free party on Bedford Avenue, returns to the Northside on June 26 and 27.
The usually month-long event was shortened to just two days this year after complaints from businesses about lack of foot traffic in their stores, and this weekend is jam-packed to make up for it.
A large component of the weekend is devoted to leisure, with open space between N. Fourth and N. Ninth streets set up for picnicking. For those intent on the "walk" portion of the day, though, there will be two tours focused on the history of brewing in the neighborhood, as well as galleries and street art.
If you're feeling creative as a result, there will be free workshops on tote making, paper making and silkscreening, as well as perfume mixing, pickle preserving and ice cream-making demos, window farming, and how to make an Adirondack chair from salvaged wood.
This wouldn't be a Williamsburg event if there weren't music, and impromptu acts by bands playing in the evening at the Northside Music Festival are promised.
And if you're seeking any reprieve from the heat, be sure to pop in to the local businesses on Bedford Avenue. It might help ensure this event continues.
Williamsburg Walks (Bedford Avenue between N. Fourth and N. Ninth streets in Williamsburg, no phone), June 26 and 27 from 1-7 pm. For info, visit www.willia
