n CHKS Ltd, part of Capita plc, was formerly known as Caspe Healthcare Knowledge Systems. It is the leading independent provider of healthcare intelligence and quality improvement services to the NHS and independent healthcare sector.
SCARBOROUGH Hospital has been named as one of the country's top 40 hospitals at a recent awards ceremony.
The awards were given out by healthcare intelligence and improvement services specialist CHKS, which is part of Capita plc.
As well as individual national awards for patient safety, quality of care and data quality, the company celebrates excellence amongst its clients across the UK with the 40Top Hospitals award.
This award is based on the evaluation of 23 key performance indicators covering safety, clinical effectiveness, health outcomes, efficiency, patient experience and quality of care.
Mike Proctor, chief executive of Scarborough trust, said: "We are delighted to be one of the 40 top hospitals, especially in our first year.
"Patient safety continues to be our top priority and this accolade demonstrates the continuing commitment of our staff to improving the quality of the care we provide our patients."
Jason Harries, managing director at CHKS, said: "We are delighted that Scarborough is one of our 40Top Hospitals for 2012. These awards recognise outstanding performance in 23 areas which we believe are critical to delivering good patient care."
The areas which the award is based upon include the reported Clostridium difficile rate for patients aged 65 and over, inpatient survey, rate of emergency readmission to hospital (more than 16 days and less than 28 days), emergency readmission within 28 days of discharge following hip fracture (for patients aged over 65), percentage of elective admissions where planned procedure was not carried out, Summary Hospital-level Mortality Index (SHMI), staff survey, risk-adjusted length of stay and risk-adjusted mortality index.
York Hospital was also in the Top 40.

I remember saying to a good friend how I should have started a blog when I was in the hospital. She said she is glad I didn't. I was really struggling with coping at the time and it probably would not have been good to keep a written record to look back on of that time.
I think now I am going to occasionally write little stories and experiences from my lengthy hospital stay after my accident. That time period had a profound effect on who I am now and, similar to my birthday post, I don't want to ever forget about "my roots".
After only a few weeks in the hospital, I started becoming restless. I was losing it.
"This is Shawshank, man," I would tell my friend. I was referring to The Shawshank Redemption, an amazing movie depicting prisoners in the 1940's. What I meant by saying that was that I felt like I was in prison.
In the movie, Andy Dufrense, played by Tim Robbins, is wrongly accused of murdering his wife and then sent to a maximum security prison. I also felt like I didn't do anything to deserve my situation, yet I was doing time.
Just like a prison, I had no privacy because nurses or other hospital staff members were always entering the room.
Just like a prison, I couldn't go anywhere because the colored tag on my wheels said I couldn't go past a certain hallway—until I got the prison equivalent of "privileges for good behavior" and was then allowed to go outside the hospital into the courtyard. I couldn't leave.
Just like a prison, I had to stick to a schedule and for quite some time, had to eat simple mashed food (and drink thickened water, but I'm guessing they didn't have that in Shawshank).
There was no way out. I was stuck. The Shawhsank Redemption was real life for me.
Recently, I was told that I'm still stuck in Shawshank. A short dialogue from the movie:
Andy Dufresne: That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn't make much sense in here.
Andy Dufresne: Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
Red: Forget?
Andy Dufresne: Forget that... there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
Red: What're you talking about?
Andy Dufresne: Hope.
Red: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
Later, Andy says to Red, "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
Hope is stupid, I was also starting to think. It takes a lot of strength to keep hoping for things. It's for the ignorant.
I had to be reminded that hope is a good thing. No good thing ever dies. Hope is what sustained Andy though his trials, and it is what got me through mine.
Once hope is lost, there is no middle ground. One may argue that one can simple accept things and move on, but if you can't win something, you've lost it. You've been defeated. Hope doesn't mean being totally ignorant and believing things will be exactly normal and dreamlike. Hope means knowing that there is a capacity for things to change, to be better, and with this hope, one can use his/her abilities to work towards that.

A second person has been charged in the fatal shooting of a Wilson's Mills man near Clayton earlier this month.
Raytigis Dequan Sanders, 37, of Clayton was charged July 24 with being an accessory after the fact in the death of 41-year-old Derrick Williams.
Sheriff's deputies found Williams shot to death outside a home on Slate Top Road around 3:38 a.m. on July 19.
Annie Marie Artis, a 42-year-old Selma woman who once accused Williams of sexual assault, has been charged with his murder.
In investigating the shooting, detectives questioned Artis, who said she was attending a party at the home at 527 Slate Top Road, according to warrants. Artis told detectives she did see Williams at the party. But they did not speak and had not spoken since she filed a sexual assault complaint against him in 2013, she said.
Artis told detectives she didn't hear gunshots but saw everyone running, so she started running, got in her truck and left with Sanders, her baby's father.
Detectives also questioned Sanders, according to the warrants. He told detectives he was inside the home, also known as the Shugga Shack, when he heard gunshots.
He said he ran outside and saw Artis squatting beside her truck, urinating, according to the warrants.
Sanders said he and Artis left and drove to Raleigh. While in the car, Sanders said, Artis cried and then fell asleep.
As of Monday afternoon, Sanders was being held in the Johnston County Jail without bond.
Artis, who is charged with murder, is also in jail without bond. Her next court date is Aug. 6.
Williams, who lived on Mitchner Drive in Wilson's Mills, was facing his own murder charge in the death of his girlfriend, Moesha Lockamy.
Williams was charged May 2 with second-degree murder after calling police to his home. Lockamy, 18, of Princeton had been shot, and paramedics could not revive her.
At the time of the May shooting, Lockamy and Williams were dating, police said, and investigators believed the two "were playing with the firearm when it discharged."

In addition to the ''really appropriate'' title, the footage splicing is a near-perfect meld of the films. !!General Fics[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6632154/1/Tron_Adagio Tron Adagio]] by Shadow Chaser.* Recommended by Tropers/IgnusZwei.* ''Status'': Complete* ''Synopsis'': A "novelization" of the events leading up to the Purge, with the ''Tron: Betrayal'' comic serving as a base. * ''Comments'': Good, solid writing all around, cleverly paced and toned to the soundtrack entries and titles. A must read if you simply can't get your hands on the comic. Almost finished, updates often.[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6900857/1/For_Want_of_a_Voxel For Want of a Voxel]] by [=SkyeWriter=]* Recommended by IgnusZwei.* ''Status'': Complete* ''Synopsis'': A "What If" scenario: what if Quorra didn't quite get to Sam on time?* ''Comments'': Well written fic that examines the alternate consequences that come about one single failure. Worth a read.[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6573598/1/Outer_Limits Outer Limits]] by Nan00k* Recommended by Tropers/{{Tantopat}}* ''Status'': Dormant* ''Synopsis'': A continuation of Tron: Legacy, involving two hackers who break into Encom's systems one night to steal a file. They're looking for the "Tron" video game file, but end up with something called "Rinzler"...* ''Comments'': A brilliantly written ongoing fic with an engaging and fascinating storyline. The OCs in this story are genuinely likeable and feel like they belong in the Tron universe, and the ideas behind the story (and the way it plays out) are pure genius. It also explores programs' experiences with coming into the user world, including things like how they learn to eat, use their muscles, and deal with things like different sensations and not being connected to everything. In short, well worth a read.[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6876866/1/A_whole_new_world A whole new world]] by Virtual Deliverance* Recommended by Tropers/DevilMaster* ''Status'': Complete* Synopsis: Clu outsmarts Kevin Flynn and enters the real world, alone. Here, he sets up the invasion by masquerading as Kevin Flynn and arranging a setup that will lead the users themselves to invite programs to invade them. In short time, he reveals his real MagnificentBastard persona and the fate of the world is sealed.* Comments: The darkest Tron fanfiction I've read, with an enthralling and disturbing take on Clu.** Now that's what [[{{Sanfranman91}} this troper]] calls NightmareFuel. Certainly, an up-and-coming fanfic author to watch for.[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7293701/1/A-whole-new-universe-sequel-to-A-whole-new-world A whole new universe: sequel to A whole new world]] by Virtual Deliverance* Recommended by Tropers/DevilMaster* ''Status'': Complete* Synopsis: Eight years after he rectified the entire Earth, Clu sets up to rectify the entire universe. During his multibillion-year mission, he discovers and solves some fundamental mysteries, and uses them to his advantage.* Comments: Less dark, but more philosophical than its predecessor, with a few MindScrews along the way.[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6915218/1/Subroutine Subroutine]] by Sakura123* Recommended by {{Tropers/Allronix}}* ''Status'': Dormant* Synopsis: Jet Bradley and Sam Flynn live in a world of computers, their entire life built around them, but the idea of electronic beings living within them was one they never comprehended, not even when they find themselves smack in the middle of it.* Comment: It's not uncommon to find a ShoutOut or two to ''[[VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh Tron 2.0]]'' in Legacy fanfic, but extremely rare to go for a full-blown PatchworkFic. It disregards both game and Legacy canons to TakeAThirdOption and create a compelling AlternateContinuity that will integrate the characters from both, including Ma3a as "progenitor" of the Isos, the protagonists as estranged HeterosexualLifePartners, Mercury as a fighter against Clu's regime, etc. [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9436712/chapters/21352286 The Contingency]] by That_runneth* Recommended by {{Tropers/Allronix}}* ''Status'': Complete* Synopsis: 1989, November. Alan Bradley is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Kevin Flynn, unwilling to accept that there's nothing to be done, reveals the existence of the Grid and the possibility the Isos may be able to cure the cancer. After short consideration Alan Bradley agrees and they enter the Grid together - on the day of Clu's coup.* Comment: "Alan ends up on The Grid" is a very common FandomSpecificPlot, and this is one that fits very well with established canon. Alan is portrayed as his LawfulGood, strategy-minded best, and everyone else is very morally gray - even the Isos. It also handles Flynn's combination of good intentions and talent for ''epic'' fuck-ups with just the right balance of wanting to be sympathetic and wanting to punch his lights out. There's also elements of DeconstructionFic at play, as it plays with other {{FandomSpecificPlot}}s like "why didn't Flynn tell anyone," Yori's SequelNonEntity status, and the relatively common Tron/Flynn 'ship. And the way Alan solves the whole mess is an amazing CrowningMomentOfAwesome.!!Shipping Fics[[http://community.livejournal.com/tronkinkmeme/1551.html?thread=195599#t195599 We Are Pilots]] by shirozora.* Recommended by Tropers/{{LoveIsWeird}}* ''Status'': Complete* ''Pairings'': Tron/Sam* ''Synopsis'': Tron deals with inevitable guilt with Sam.* ''Comments'': I can't really summarize things all that well, but I'll say this: this story is one of the best continuations I have ever read. The writing is superb, and shirozora has an excellent grasp of each character involved, and the OC's are also fleshed out quite well. It's completed, and the author is currently working on a sequel.''Of Warm Jackets, Sleeping, and Arcade Games'' by humansrsuperior.* Recommended by {{@/sanfranman91}}* Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.* ''Pairings'': Sam/Quorra.* ''Synopsis'': An exploration on how Quorra manages in her first days in the real world. * ''Comments'': From learning about the weather and movie nights to understanding how to play an arcade game, Quorra learns about normal User life. It's very funny and quite romantic too.''Old Habits Die Hard'' also by humansrsuperior.* Recommended by {{@/marzipan91}}* Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.* ''Pairings'': Sam/Quorra.* ''Synopsis'': While taking a coffee break at Encom, Sam remembers his father and how he aged in The Grid. Soon enough, Sam is faced with a dilemma about his future with Quorra... [[spoiler: He chooses to stay with her, albeit aware that he will gradually age and die while she will remain her 20-something self.]]* ''Comments'': Unlike many other Sam/Quorra shipping stories, this one not only portrays it in a mature, realistic matter, but also uses accurate portrayals of the characters. The fanfic also explores the ideas of [[WhoWantsToLiveForever aging]] and angst and how it will affect Sam's decision.[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6583335/1/Dear-Wired-Magazine Dear Wired Magazine]] by seriousish.* Recommended by {{@/Jonn}}, {{@/sadiebird}}* ''Status'': Complete* ''Pairings'': Sam/Quorra.* ''Synopsis'': I Never Thought This Would Happen To Me But… If people who work with computers have funny ideas about dating, imagine what someone who lives inside one would think. SamXQuorra* ''Comments'': In this corner, a worldly, somewhat cynical young man! In this corner, a WideEyedIdealist with Internet access! Can love bloom in the shipping-container-house? [[spoiler: (Yes.)]]** The rest of the author's fics are in the same vein and are just as enjoyable, in this troper's opinion. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6601483/1/Resist Resist]] by Brightdreamer* Recommended by Tropers/{{Allronix}}* ''Status'': Complete* Pairing: Clu / Tron * Synopsis: There is more than one way to break a man...even ones made of digital code. * Comments: I hesitate to put this under "shipping," aside from this containing some twisted elements of FoeYay, but Users, it drips with the stuff. Clu is an inventive bastard. He'd know that he wouldn't be able to break Tron using ''pain,'' which means "pleasure" is much more efficient tool. ** Note that the pairing here is very much one sided. [[spoiler: Like, the author is openly writing it as a rape scene. Fair warning.]][[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6704369/1/Survivors_Tale Survivor's Tale]] by Ridyr.* Recommended by Tropers/{{Allronix}}* ''Status'': Complete* Pairing: Tron/Yori (established) * Synopsis: "I gave [Lora] up because there was someone else, here, that meant more to me than any user. I gave her up for Tron. Tron is why I've done what I've done, and am doing what I'm doing. He is why I'm sitting in the poorly lit bar, watching as people come and sit around me, their eyes and ears waiting to hear my story that I don't want to tell, but will tell all the same."* Comments: [[SequelNonEntity Yori's absence]] from ''Film/TronLegacy'' has made ''great'' FanficFuel. Ridyr's story takes the fuel and adds a lit match. It unravels events from the coup to the end of Legacy, casting her as a member of the [[LaResistance Resistance]], through capture, conscription, and the eventual freedom she and Tron win for themselves. And it handles "Rinzler" marvelously.


text: Safety in the Work Place Topics: Occupational safety and health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Morality Pages: 2 (629 words) Published: April 21, 2013 As far as being Jason being the safety coordinator he is responsible for making the work place a safe place. He was not concerned with the risks of the accumulated wood dust in the work place. His ethical and moral obligation for the employees was not of any value to him. He did not think it was necessary to investigate the situation any further. He had more of a passive approach with dealing with the situation. The area manager seemed more of the greater good for the company and not for the employee's safety. He would rather but others life is at risk just keeping up with the production that the company had to maintain. Karen seemed like she wanted to take the easy way out without having to deal with the consequences of being disloyal to the company. She did not reach out for help or try to find a way to resolve this problem. When submitting a claim with OSHA they do not let the employer know who submitted the claim it is there obligation to be strictly confidential (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). The owner Tony has no respect, concern about safety or health issue when it comes to his employees. He has a moral and ethical obligation to protect his employees in the work environment. After I have gone through all the proper channels of reporting this situation from the safety coordinator, area manager and the owner then I would report the situation to someone that could help. I would then report this situation to the occupational safety and health administration also known as OSHA. The reason why I would report this to them is because I feel that the work place is not safe and is hazards to fellow co-workers and myself. The standards of the occupational safety and health administration are not being in forced at this company and breaking the law. It would be unethical and unjustifiable for me not to report this situation due to it can cost every one there life. On the other hand, if they threaten to harm my family or telling my co-workers...

Hi Friends!!
Just wanted to pop on quick and tell you about the Compassion bloggers. A group of bloggers and photographers are currently on a trip to India visiting children sponsored by the Compassion ministry there. They are blogging about their experiences, and their stories are absolutely gut-wrenching and amazing at the same time. I encourage you to check them out. Have some Kleenex handy. Their stories really made me ponder the question of what "the church" should be doing to be the hands and feet of Jesus..... in our own towns as well as in other countries.
or you can click on LPM blog or Bring the Rain blog on the side of our blog page. Two of the women who write on these blogs are on the trip.

FARGO, N.D. – The hospitality, the professionalism, and the desire to host the best 25th anniversary of the founding of the North American Fastpitch Association is exceptional in the great, northern city of Fargo.
And a few folks deserve a good share of the credit.
The host committee includes John Kegel, Mike Oehlke, Justin Feist, Stephonie Broughton, Matt Gable and Tom Wilson. They have done an outstanding job in providing a wonderful venue and atmosphere for NAFA's 25th Anniversary.
The 13 fields at the Northside Softball Complex are in excellent playing condition (it's reported that the complex will be expanded by another 20 fields). The staff and volunteers have done their utmost to provide every accommodation possible.
The tournament drew approximately 120 teams from Canada and the United States, which of course means it's not the easiest of tasks for every facet to run smoothly, but it has, thanks to the hard work of the incredible fastpitch folks of Fargo.
As for the weather? Gorgeous, perfect fastpitch softball playing conditions.

** Feedback about the tournament is welcome, so please direct your comments to: email@example.com **

Inglis is predicting the final session of the three day selling spectacle to
be the strongest of the sale.
"I have an inkling you'd better be here tomorrow,"
he said with a twinkle in his eye.
The second session at the Newmarket ring has just concluded
with what Inglis described as "another very satisfactory session."
"We had an average tonight of $156,110, which was nearly
exactly the same as last night's figure," Inglis said.
"Tonight's result is pretty positive because I feel the
best of the sessions is still to come tomorrow," he added.
Tonight's sales topper was a Sunday Silence filly who was
sold to a mystery buyer, understood to be John Lever, for $575,000. The filly is from the
American stakes winner Laurel Avenue.
Another highlight of the evening was the sale of the
Zabeel-Let's Elope colt to John Foote (acting as agent for Tony Santic) for $550,000 just
minutes later.
The second session of the sale had a clearance rate of 79 per
cent, just a tick under yesterday's figures.
The current median price of the sale is $110,000.
If Reg Inglis can be believed, and with his experience in the
company that should be expected, the best is still yet to come.
"Tonight was a weak part of the sale and tomorrow should
be pretty interesting," he concluded with a wry smile.

I think it's time to enjoy a little wisdom from that most profound of websites, textsfromlastnight. Now, please know that if you are over the age of 40 and/or cannot deal with LARGE amounts of raunchiness, you should just read the quotes I've selected and not visit the website. It requires a very high threshold for grodiness. You've been warned. 😉
My uncrustable is thawing in my straightener. [OMG!!!! UNCRUSTABLES!!!! Possibly the greatest sandwich invention of ALL time!!! They don't have them here… 😦 ]
I'm at the airport and there's a guy wearing all camouflage to go hunting…Should I bump in to him and say, "Whoa, sorry didn't see you there"?
My mom is such a hoarder. I found a deer candelabrum last night, it had antlers has candle holders. It was like a redneck menorah.
Some guy seriously just got Jimmy Johns delivered to him at the graduation ceremony. This cannot be real life.
Went to the career fair today..I handed out many resumes to find out later that they say I have a bachelor o farts degree…Top that.
My roommate has every episode of Full House. I'm going to fail my midterm tomorrow.
So I hit rock bottom, God threw me a shovel. I continued to dig.
LOL! I hope y'all are having a good day!!!

The relationship between methane concentration and second-harmonic output of a particular optical methane-detection system is derived. The system uses a broadband source and a comb filter with its transmission peaks matched to the R-branch absorption lines of methane. An optimal modulation index is obtained, and a noise-limited detection resolution of 0.02% lower explosive level (3-s time constant) is estimated.

I am somewhat skeptical about the statement in a recent Westgard essay which suggests that Europeans who use ISO 15189 to help with accreditation are more likely to improve quality in their laboratories than US laboratories, who just try to meet minimum CLIA standards. ISO 15189 is much like ISO 9001, which is used for businesses. I have previously written that ISO 9001 certification plays no role in improving quality for diagnostic companies (1). As an example of ISO 15189 guidance – albeit in the version I have which is from 2002 – under the section "Resolution of complaints", ISO 15189 says the laboratory should have a policy and procedures for the resolution of complaints. In ISO 17025, which is a similar standard, virtually the identical passage occurs.
Westgard mentions that clinical laboratories need a way to estimate uncertainty that is more practical than the ISO GUM standard and mentions a CLSI subcommittee which is working on this. A more practical way will be unlikely. I was on that subcommittee. I didn't want to participate at first, since I don't agree that clinical laboratories should estimate uncertainty according to GUM (2). However, the chair holder wanted me for my contrarian stance, so I joined. I must say that I enjoyed being on the subcommittee, which had a lot of smart people and an open dialog. However, I was unable to convince anyone of my point of view and therefore resigned, because it would make no sense to be both an author of this document and reference 2. The last version of this document I saw was 80 pages long (half of it an Appendix) with many equations. This version will not be understood by most (any?) clinical laboratories. However, there is a CLSI document that allows one to estimate uncertainty intervals easily, EP21A, although not according to GUM.
What is needed to improve clinical laboratory quality anywhere? Policies that emphasize measuring error rates such as FRACAS (3).
- Krouwer JS: ISO 9001 has had no effect on quality in the in-vitro medical diagnostics industry. Accred. Qual. Assur. 2004;9:39-43.
- Krouwer JS: A Critique of the GUM Method of Estimating and Reporting Uncertainty in Diagnostic Assays Clin. Chem., 49:1818 -1821 (2003).
- Krouwer JS: Using a Learning Curve Approach to Reduce Laboratory Error, Accred. Qual. Assur., 7: 461-467 (2002).

Beethoven's 2nd (1993)
Parents GuideAdd to guide (Coming Soon)
|Rated PG for mild language and unsuitable teen behavior
Sex & Nudity
- There is romantic kissing throughout the movie, with both married couples and teenagers.
- A teenage boy brings a girl to his room and locks the door behind him. When she feels uncomfortable and tries to leave, she realizes the door is locked. The implication is that the boy might be ready to rape her, but they are both fully clothed, and he doesn't touch her at all on-screen, other than some innocent kissing. All he does is say "Relax, this is going to be an experience you're never gonna forget", but do to unforeseen events, he is not able to do anything with her. Everything ends up being okay, but adults may need to have a discussion about this with younger viewers.
- Two St. Bernard dogs mate and have puppies in the movie.
- A young girl (about 8 years old) asks her father where babies come from. His attempts to explain it are drawn-out and quite humorous.
- The two dogs are shown at a movie about two teenagers who kiss passionately.
Violence & Gore
- A man pokes another man in the stomach with a stick.
- A puppy pees on a man's face.
- The "villains" in the movie fall into a pool of mud, then fall into a raging river. They are not hurt, though.
- One "villain" is involved in an accident where he falls down a mountain and violently lands head first into a tree stump. Meant to be humorous, but this is a blatant reference to decapitation.
- Near the end of the film, the two "villains" are scene being washed away in the rapids of a river. While not much is on screen, it seems to infer that the two characters will either plummet to their deaths or crash into the rocks, being inflicted with near fatal brain damage. However, this scene is quite humorous.
- "Oh God" is used a few times, along with the word "crap". Pretty mild language.
- When an older teenage boy starts picking on Ted, he tells Beethoven to "bite this guy in the wiener".
- One villain tells the family to "stuff it".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Teenagers are drinking alcohol at a house party. Some of the kids are obviously very drunk. A few of them even start dumping beer on the dog, Beethoven. They are laughing and behaving erratically.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- When provoked, Beethoven jerks at the part of a lake house where he has been chained up, and part of the house literally falls down. Several teenagers fall into the lake as a result. It is not really scary, though, and nobody is hurt - there's just a lot of yelling. In fact, audiences may be more inclined to laugh at how fake it looks when the house falls.
- There is a contest at a fair where some men race to see who can eat more burgers at once. The man who wins ends up vomiting afterward. The vomit itself is not seen, but his cheeks puff up, and he is seen rushing into a Port-o-Potty and retching.
- Regina is very cruel to her boyfriend, her ex-husband, and especially the dogs in the movie. She steals the puppies from kids at one point and is just generally very mean. Younger viewers might be a little afraid of her.

"Your father can be surprisingly sensitive. Remember when I giggled at his Sherlock Holmes hat? He sulked for a week and then closed his detective agency."
Hey fatty! I got a movie for you, A Fridge Too Far!
Edit- DOH!
That guys delivery is so perfect. I also love the gun episode when Homer threatens him that if he had his gun he'd shoot him and he replies "Yeah, well, ya don't."
Hey, buddy, you gotta slow your car down and let me in, because I'm a big fat guy and I can't go anywhere. Because there could be some poison gas, I mean there's really going to be poison gas, and everyone's gonna be dead, especially me!
Workers please, there'll be time for the frozen pudding wagon later. You still owe me ten more Iroquois twists!
Now where's that cake!?
Hey, my dad may have gained a little weight, but he's not some food crazed maniac!

T-take anything you want man, take it all!
Shame on all of you. Give me my dignity! I just came here to see Honk If You're Horny in peace.
Sir, if you'll just calm down, I'd be happy to treat you to a garbage bag full of popcorn.
If the paper turns clear, it's your window to weight gain!
There's no cake
Hey, did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too?
I want to see more Teddy Roosevelts, and less Franklin Roosevelts!

"Washin' my fat guy hat, honey!"
Hey ma, how'bout some cookies?
Give me a ride or everyone dies.
"I wash myself with a rag on a stick."
Paul Newman's going to have my legs broke.
I heard that guy's ass has his own congressman
Nonsense, the author-reader relationship is one of adversity and mutual hate.
I recently started working from home and it feels like I'm living this episode. Oooh! Mail's here!
No dice
They made being 300 pounds really comically fat; when I was that big I could still fit in regular seats and wear 38 pants with an XXL shirt. But still it made me depressed that I was that fat. I was fatter than Homer Simpson.
Push out the jive...bring in the love!
He's easily my favorite bit character. I always start giggling when he appears.
I heard your dad went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant

Set at the end of "The Big Nickel." Because you know Sam was pissed with Jerry after "Girlfriend of the Year". Sam/Jerry friendship.
"Hey Sammy," Jerry said, clapping his friend on the shoulder and taking the seat next to him at the bar.
Sam didn't return his greeting; he just turned his head to stare at the hand that was on his shoulder. His eyes flicked up to meet Jerry's for a moment and then he returned his attention to the drink in front of him.
Jerry held up both his hands in innocence. "Don't be like that man, I really need your help on this Ray Swann thing."
Sam snorted. "Why don't you ask your girlfriend?"
"I would," Jerry said, eyeing Traci across the bar. "But she's not speaking to me right now," he confessed.
Sam turned on his stool to face Jerry. "I was talking about Callaghan," he said with a smirk.
Jerry raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "You're still pissed about that?"
"It just seems to me that you would rather have Callaghan's help on this thing," Sam said, shrugging. "You made it clear that you trust his judgment more than mine." He paused. "Even though I was right."
"Oh come on man," Jerry said indignantly, "give me a break. It was a tough day. We were all a little out of it."
"Yeah, well," Sam said, standing up and shrugging on his jacket, "Today wasn't exactly a walk in the park and helping you would interfere with my plan to get very drunk tonight."
"Where are you going?" Jerry said, standing to follow him.
"Home," Sam said, pushing the door to the bar open and stepping out into the cold. "I've got plenty of beer there."
Jerry moved quickly to step in front of Sam, physically blocking his path. "I get that you're pissed, but you've got to help me out here."
"I told you," Sam said, cutting around Jerry and walking towards his truck. "Get Callaghan."
"If the last time I saw him was any indication, he's probably got your rookie's legs wrapped around him right now," Jerry shot, knowing it would get Sam's attention.
Jerry watched as Sam stopped in his tracks. His shoulders tensed, his fists clenched and he rolled his neck in a way that would have actually scared Jerry if he didn't know his friend any better.
Sam turned to face him, the muscles in his neck straining. He narrowed his eyes at Jerry, as if weighing his options. Jerry let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when Sam unclenched his fists. "You're a real asshole sometimes, you know that?" Sam said after a moment.
Jerry shrugged and nodded. "I know."
Sam crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked towards Jerry. "If you weren't so delicate I'd probably deck you right now."
"Delicate?" Jerry asked, offended.
"Do you prefer dainty?" Sam asked, a small smirk playing on his lips.
"I'm handsome," Jerry defended. "And not at all feminine."
"Please," Sam scoffed, "How much did those shoes cost you?"
Jerry looked down at his loafers. "They're Italian leath…" he paused. "You know what, that doesn't have anything to do Ray Swann."
"So you came to me because Callaghan's unavailable," Sam concluded.
Jerry sighed, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Look, Sammy. That day… with Rebecca… it was huge for me, and I couldn't screw it up."
"And you thought I would screw it up?"
"No," Jerry said. "You were saying everything I should have been saying."
Sam raised his eyebrows, waiting for Jerry to continue.
"Callaghan's a good detective and I just needed as many eyes on the case as I could. My instinct told me to go with what you were saying, but I was second guessing myself the entire day," Jerry admitted. "You've got to understand that."
Sam sighed, but relented. "Fine."
Jerry exhaled, relieved. "Thanks, man," he said. "I could really use your help with Swann. I've been looking over it for hours and I know I'm missing something."
"You're lucky Swann is such a bastard," Sam said, turning to walk towards the station. "Otherwise I'd be headed home right now."
"I know," Jerry said, catching up with him. When he met Sam's stride he reached out to thump the other man on the back. "Thank you."
"I've got a couple of drinks in me," Sam told him. "I can't promise anything."
"You're smarter than me even when you're loaded."
Sam smirked, "That's true."
The two men walked in silence until Sam asked, "Why isn't Nash talking to you?"
Jerry groaned just thinking about what he had said. "I may have brought up how Jennifer used to take care of all my case files." He paused, "And I may have insinuated that her son was using my notes as a coloring book."
Sam stopped walking and turned towards Jerry. "You really are an asshole, aren't you?"
Jerry just nodded. "I know. I'll apologize to her later." They reached the station and Jerry held the door open for Sam. "I'm really sorry, man."
"I know," Sam said, heading for Jerry's office. "Let's just get this done and get out of here."
After settling into two desk chairs, Jerry looked over at his friend. "I want you to know, I really appreciate this."
"I swear to God, Jerry," Sam said, not looking up from the papers he was reading. "If you start crying, I'm out of here."
Jerry laughed, "We're good though, right?"
"Yeah brother," Sam said, looking up, "We're good."

Today I talked about the purpose behind these Perception Moment episodes. I discussed primarily that these episodes serve to bring the listener into my personal journey as a Messianic Believer of Yeshua Hamaschiach (Jesus Christ).
I also spoke Arthur Bailey's most recent Discipleship Training regarding Yeshua's use of parables to teach about the Kingdom of God and my perceptions of that teaching.
Lastly I shared my current studies of 2 Timothy 1-2 and my Torah studies of Numbers 7.

As I expect most of you are fully aware, last Friday night there was a horrifying series of terrorist attacks on Paris. The figures are horrible – 132 killed and 352 injured as it currently stands, according to the BBC. It's being called the deadliest attack on Paris in it's modern history. But what I find possibly scariest is that Isis have said that Paris was only "the beginning of the storm".
But what I really wanted to write about was the response to these attacks. There's been vigils all over the world, flowers laid at French embassies worldwide, monuments including Tower Bridge, the London Eye, the CN Tower, and the Brandenburg Gate lit up in the colours of the French flag. If I'm not mistaken, the Empire State Building's lights were turned out in sympathy for the French. Disneyland Paris and the Eiffel Tower are both closed, the latter "until further notice". Parisian taxi drivers powered down their meters to give people free rides to safety. After an appeal for blood donations, the blood bank's been announced full, willingness to help was so great. Masses of celebrities have paid tribute – David Beckham, U2 outside the Parisian venue they were supposed to be playing tonight, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, P!nk, Emma Watson…and more. I personally liked Snarky Puppy's Facebook message:
"Our deepest condolences to all of the people affected this week by senseless violence in Paris, Beirut, and other areas where such occurrences are more regular and less reported. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these terrible events. Love, peace, and strength from each of us to you."
Posted by Snarky Puppy on Saturday, 14 November 2015
Approximately 90% of my Facebook feed and almost 100% of the friend activity column on the right hand side (above the chat thingy) is full of news about the attacks – people uploading profile pictures with the French flag filter, people liking said profile pictures, people liking associated posts, people posting condemning the attacks, all kinds of things. At least half of my friends have changed their profile pictures, permanently or temporarily, to show solidarity with France. Facebook have also deployed their Safety Check feature to allow Parisians to check in with their family and friends and declare themselves safe. Twitter too – I've heard about a hashtag being used for people to find and advertise safe places to stay (#PorteOuverte) – I especially liked a Sikh's reminder that Gurdwaras are open for all – #PrayForParis, #ParisIsAboutLife (kinda the atheist version of Pray For Paris started by cartoonist Joann Sfar, who wants people to remember what Paris is about) and #MuslimsAreNotTerorist (awks when a typo starts trending, but still). Lots of Muslims are tweeting to say they condone the killings, and billions of other Muslims worldwide do too, which I think is sad that it has to happen, but also kinda good? There's also a thing going round Facebook saying:
💙 'Can i just take this opportunity to remind you all that Mr Mohammed from your local shop wasn't involved in last nights attacks on Paris. Neither was Mrs Azeer from Lloyds Bank or her family. Kamal from down the road has never been to Paris, and his brother Abdul, the taxi driver, was watching the news in horror along with everyone else.
The people behind last night's attacks weren't Muslims, they were extremists using religion as vindication for their cowardice.
Please, I urge each and everyone of you, do not lay blame at the doors of the innocent just because of what they believe. They are no more to blame for Paris than you are.
We are one world and one family. Treat each other as such, because what happened last night should bring us closer together, not make us lash out against our neighbours for a perceived religion affiliation'
I think this is SUCH a good and important thing to be going round social media. There's also the Eiffel Tower peace graphic, created by Jean Jullien and widely shared:
My point is, both on and off social media, the response by the world has been overwhelming. Maybe sharing statuses on Facebook and changing your profile picture has no tangible effect, but it may help the French to know that so many people respect them and feel for them in this difficult time. Sharing statuses about how 'terrorism is not a religion' spreads an important message, one that people should know. However, one thing that really bugs me is the number of comments on Facebook, tweets etc. asking why so much more of a fuss is made over the Paris attacks than the ones in Lebanon and Baghdad which, to be fair, I didn't even know about. Yes, a more Western location means more fuss, yes maybe there should be more publicity about the awful attacks happening in Syria everyday, but people shouldn't turn a tragedy such as this in a competition, which is what I'm seeing it as. There's no competition as to what country has the most citizens killed. Paris has been a much bigger thing in Western media because it's so much closer to home.
Overall, the Paris attacks have terrified and horrified me. I wonder whether in future, as with the American 9/11 attacks, people will say, "I remember exactly where I was when I heard about 9/11". For me, I'd just got home from playing in a jazz concert and was watching the ten o'clock news on the sofa with my parents. My sister was with her boyfriend. We saw the headline but didn't catch where it was. Both my parents, on their iPads, checked their news apps and within seconds found out about it. I continued watching the news for another fifteen minutes or so, seeing the breaking updates as they came in, between other bits of news from around the globe.
I wonder what will happen next. I saw something on Facebook saying "RIP to the 100s of lives lost in Paris. But also RIP to the 100,000 more that will be lost in a revenge war". A friend shared this article, offering a different perspective on the attacks and an alternate suggestion for how to deal with extremism (well worth a read, in my opinion).
However, as horrific as these attacks have been, what has been truly heartwarming (for the most part, at least) is the global response to them. All you have to do is scroll through Facebook, Twitter or even Buzzfeed to see it. The black ribbon displayed on the Google homepage. The link to latest news on YouTube. The "Solidarity" message and French flag on the Amazon website. It's in situations like this that people need to know other people care, and that, happily, has been shown.
{via breakingnews.ie}
Thanks for reading my slightly incoherent rambles, I'll leave you with what I see as a couple of fitting songs.
Fall Down // Ella Eyre
This song isn't directly relevant, but I think the idea of supporting each other in times of trouble comes across. I feel that as a global community, for the most part we've shown that yes, we will follow each other to help when help is most needed.
Where Is The Love? // Black Eyed Peas
This is much more obvious as to why I chose it, as it's directly about terrorism. It carries a very powerful message in today's world, in my opinion.
An Overthinking Teenager

I just lost my half of five billion dollars.
Five. Billion. F*#king dollars.
The voicemail still chimed in my skull:
"Your father is dying. The inheritance is no longer yours or your brother's. If you want that money, you're going to have to play by some… unconventional rules."
Rules? Screw that. I didn't get this far by following anyone's rules. But I did know one thing. If this was a competition between my brother and I for the entire King Family fortune…
I was going to win.
That's probably exactly what my brother was saying right now, too. He and I hate each other, we have for years. We know hate, and we know what it means to compete.
What we didn't know was how messed up these "rules" would be. You see, to get our inheritance, we've got to do something drastic.
Knock someone up.
That's right. If I want my money, I've got to get a girl pregnant. One thing's for sure, my sleepy town of Caldwell Hope is in for a rude awakening.
Lock up your wives, your girlfriends, your daughters–everyone is fair game when it comes to winning this damn contest.
The King brothers are coming home.
All hell's about to break loose.
In this story we are introduced to two brothers, Lucas & Richard, who are now at odds to gain inheritance from their father. These two haven't gotten along for a time, so now pitting them against each other means an even dirtier competition.
By returning to their hometown, both sons are now forced to face their pasts. For Lucas, this means seeing the first woman he loved and realizing that his life is nowhere near here he wants it. For Richard, it's discovering who he is beyond the successful businessman.
This journey takes us into the past of the town and the characters, as well as giving us an in-depth look into how each of the characters develops. There are many secrets and when those are revealed we begin to understand why their lives have taken such a drastic pull from each other.
I loved the characters. They were complicated, unsure, and flawed. Each of the brothers made mistakes and had to face the consequences. Those consequences cost them time and relationships, forcing them to truly decide what they valued in life. Seeing their love for their father and how devoted they were was lovely.
There were some parts of the story that didn't flow for me. I loved the concept behind the storyline, and even the complications thrown in, but it just seemed that sometimes issues were resolved rather quickly for me. I think the author had some great twists for the storyline and gave the characters a realness that many billionaire characters don't always have.
A good read and some interesting characters.

Peabody Energy, a leading coal company in the US and the world's largest, may soon file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Last week, the company's stock closed at a six-month low of $2.19 per share, recording a 46% fall. The energy giant is the world's largest privately owned coal company with a more than 130-year corporate history. The financially stretched Peabody in mid-March missed $93 million in interest payments. The debt burden of the company escalated after its $4.9 billion takeover of Australia's Macarthur Coal. The US coal company took over the Australian mine in 2011 at the height of commodities boom. The company is not able to timely, successfully or efficiently implement the strategies they are pursuing to improve their operating performance and financial position, obtain alternative sources of capital or otherwise meet their liquidity needs. According to coal industry experts, the acquisition of Macarthur had burdened Peabody with $8.3 billion of debt, which, it is finding it difficult to repay.

How To Pitch A Music Blog: Buzzbands LA
Sometimes getting into your favorite music blog has a few demographic key points that can really help influence your chances of coverage. Buzzbands LA happens to be one of those situational blogs. Here are a few tips and tricks that can really increase your chances.
1. Be From LA
This one might seem obvious, but the blog is called Buzzbands LA. That's not to say they only cover bands from the LA area, but that dramatically increases your odds. There is a column called L.A. Scene that features up and coming bands from the area. The good news is that some of the bands covered are emerging artists without a lot of social media stats padding their music. Having some shows in the area can be hugely influential, in addition to some other LA selling points like notable producers you've worked with, or other musicians featured in the recordings. I would recommend trying for a premiere feature. I would also recommend taking a look at some of the recent articles to make sure the current trend matches your sound.
2. Play a Show in LA With a Touring Band
The next way in might be a little more difficult. Buzzbands LA also covers a lot of great established acts. I've seen recent articles about Nine Inch Nails and even Noel Gallagher. One column specifically reviews live shows of more popular bands that are touring through the area. If you can get onto a bill with one of these bands (or even if you have performed with one of them in the past) it can really increase your odds of getting in and catching the blog's attention. You know what they say, it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. So don't forget that hard work pays off, but nothing is guaranteed. I still recommend Step 1 if you're from the area, or Step 3 if you are not.
Buzzbands LA has a show on the LA radio station KCSN called "L.A. Buzz Bands" where the host and Buzzbands LA founder, Kevin Bronson, features the up and coming hottest local bands in Los Angeles. The show is on Sundays from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. (PT). If you get on the air then you could use this as a potential angle to reach Buzzbands LA or at least increase awareness. You might not get on that particular radio show, but again, it could help to increase your odds of coverage. Remember it always helps to actually tune in to the show and even send some feedback in your email. Talk about what you loved from the last show and mention why your band would be a great fit too. Also, don't forget to make sure the music you're submitting is FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approved - which means it does not contain any curse words.
Remember, if you don't get covered immediately don't give up. You might catch a blogger's attention without making it in this time around, but continue to do your research and send in your materials through the appropriate channels (i.e. make sure it is relevant to the blog in terms of genre and timeline). My biggest piece of advice with all music blogs, including Buzzbands LA, is to spend some time looking into recent articles before you reach out.
Green Light Go: Book a show in the LA area!
Sharing is Caring: Know a band who wants to be covered in Buzzbands LA? Feel free to share or tweet it. Comments and feedback always appreciated @p_corsi

Peter I. Rose was born in Rochester, New York, in 1933. He received a bachelor of arts from Syracuse University in 1954 and a doctorate from Cornell University in 1959. He is Sophia Smith Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology and Senior Fellow of the Kahn Liberal Arts Institute at Smith, where, for more than 30 years he was director of the American Studies Diploma Program for international graduate students. He is also a member of the graduate faculty of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He was the Robin M. Williams Jr. Distinguished Lecturer of the Eastern Sociological Society for 2016.
Smith College has been his academic base since 1960, but he has spent considerable time off-campus in this country and abroad. He taught at Goucher College in Baltimore in 1958–1960 and has been a visiting professor at Clark, the University of Colorado, Wesleyan, UCLA, Yale and Harvard, and a visiting fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu, the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and the Hoover Institution at Stanford. A frequent lecturer at the University of Amsterdam, from which he received the University Medal in 1994, he has also served as Fulbright Professor at the University of Leicester in England, Flinders University in Australia and the Kyoto Summer Seminar in Japan. He was Fulbright Senior Specialist and visiting professor at the University of Vienna in the spring of 2004 and at the Roosevelt University College of Utrecht University in The Netherlands in the fall of 2008.

He has lectured in more than 40 other countries.
Many of these activities are discussed and excerpts from his writings are included in a recent memoir, Postmonitions of a Peripatetic Professor.
Best known for his book They and We, Rose has written many books and edited several collected works and journals (see below). He has also published a number of scholarly and extracurricular articles and more than 200 reviews and review essays in sociological and historical journals and in the pages of the Christian Science Monitor, Present Tense, Newsday, Congress Monthly, the New York Times, the Boston Globe and Hampshire Life.
With a secondary career as a freelance writer and travel journalist and photographer, Rose is a frequent contributor to a variety of newspapers and both print and web-based magazines, including Travelworld International and SoGoNow.com, which he edited for several years. In 2011 he received the silver medal of the North American Travel Journalists Association for With Few Reservations: Travels at Home and Abroad (iUniverse, 2010), a collection of his travel essays.
Rose has long been active in professional academic organizations. Former president of the Eastern Sociological Society (ESS), he was also the first president of the Massachusetts Sociological Society (from which he received the first Pioneer Award), and he served as vice president of the ESS and the national Society for the Study of Social Problems, a member of the Council of the American Sociological Association, and a member of the editorial boards of Races and Nations, The Journal of Refugee Studies and New Community. From 1965 to 1980 he was consulting editor in sociology at Random House/Knopf and was principal consultant to Time-Life Books for its 14 volume series Human Behavior. He also served as consultant and adviser to a number of other publishers as well as to private and governmental agencies in the United States and abroad on issues of desegregation, refugee policy, international scholarly exchanges and higher education, and for 20 years he was a member of the board of trustees of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine. He is also a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the North American Travel Journalists Association and several other professional writers associations.
Rose was first chair of the International Advisory Board of University College Utrecht, an international honors college of Utrecht University and its newer "sister" institution, Roosevelt University College, located in Middelburg, the Netherlands. He is a regular faculty member in the Global Citizenship Alliance and a member of the American Studies Board of the Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria.

One of the most difficult areas in teaching students to write is getting them to write poetry. Actually, I don't think it's possible to teach someone to write a poem. There is no magic formula. It is possible, however, to help students improve their poems. It's always a challenge to begin a poem. For me, I have to have an image or a specific line that comes to me at a moment when I am not trying to write, many times in the middle of the night or early in the morning. For students, an assignment to write a poem usually ends up being time spent staring at a blank page or looking around the room to see what other students are doing. Only a few students in each class can write poetry easily.
In the beginning of every year, I started my seventh grade students off with a simple poetry assignment–a list poem. The challenge in this assignment is to get students to go beyond the initial list of things to creating lines that resemble poetry. They tend to write something resembling a grocery list. First I had them make a list of things they liked. It could be a mixture of serious and funny things. Then I had them add adjectives and prepositional phrases to the lines. For example, if one item on the list was "snowboarding," they could revise the line to say "snowboarding in the silence of an early morning snow." Then they needed to work on the arrangement of the lines. I had them group similar items together, choose a line for the beginning, and then find the one line that said the most, the one they connected to the most, the one that seemed to be the culmination of the entire list. That was the last line.
This assignment usually is fun for students. I always shared with them my own list before they began to write. I showed them my first list, then a revision, and finally my final draft so they could see the process involved. Then they worked on their own list poem and at the end of the class I asked for volunteers to share their lists. Usually students do not want to share their writing, but this assignment offers many students the chance to read their poems in an nonthreatening environment because they haven't had to rhyme or work on rhythm or create some flowery images. It's just a list of their personal favorites, and it's fun for them to read them.
Here is a draft of one of my own list poems so you can see how it works:
What I Love
Powerful ocean waves
the cries of seagulls
the sunrise over the lake
foggy mornings
falling leaves that swirl in the wind
chickadees and nuthatches at the bird feeder
squirrels chasing each other in the woods
the first snowflakes of winter
white Christmas lights and cheery music
stained glass windows in church
the church bells chiming on Sunday morning
my Aussie greeting me when I come home
my cat purring softly next to me
the warmth of a fleece blanket on a cold winter night
the sound of my granddaughter crying.
I rearranged this list many times. I first tried to capture all five senses. (Encourage students to try to connect to what they see, taste, hear, smell, and touch.) I found that I could arrange my list somewhat in order of the seasons–summer, fall, winter. I went from being outside to the coziness of inside. The last line was a problem for me at first, but when I connected to the sound of my new granddaughter, it became obvious to me that that line was the strongest.
As you can see, the poem is not meant to be one that other readers will necessarily connect to. I think a good poem should point out to the reader something new or get the reader to feel something he didn't feel before, something that doesn't usually happen here because the poem is so personal, but this exercise can free students from the fear of writing a poem. It's fun, and it also gives the teacher some insight into the personalities of her students. I hope you will try this yourself and with your students!

There have been a few key issues that the left has harped extra hard on Obama for, certain pet topics that are a little more important than the rest. In the realm of the economy, one big button has been the idea of cutting back on defense spending. It's not that we dislike defense, it's that we realize that 2011 is not a time when defense means having a Noah's Ark of tanks and fighter jets.
However, although Obama himself has paid lip service to the notion, there's been a noted lack of actual progression down that path. I'd never considered that a new defense secretary* would be a harbinger of things to come. If John Bennett of The Hill is right, though, Leon Panetta's nomination could mean that we'll be finally getting those cuts we've been asking for.
"Putting Panetta in as Defense secretary means Obama now has an ally at the Pentagon," said one senior GOP congressional aide. "He will be more inclined to agree with the president on a number of issues where Gates might have pushed back or disagreed with the president."
"Panetta will have to enact the cuts that Obama wants," the GOP aide continued. "While Gates has control of the [four military] services, they're likely to challenge Panetta. That makes SecDef a tougher job than CIA director."
Undoubtedly any kind of movement in Washington can prove difficult if you're changing "industries", but if it's indeed the case that Panetta is an ally of Obama's that puts things in a much better line than they've been. Now I know the right's going to holler about the dangers of having a "yes man" as SecDef (I like that term), but hell, we dealt with the rubber-stamp executive branch for eight years under Bush, it'll be a nice switcheroo to have some left-leaning people in charge around Washington.
Remember, the people elected Obama. They want him to be able to get things done as he sees fit.
* I just noticed that we still use "secretary". Isn't that considered offensive or something? I say we use "Defense Administrative Assistant" or "Administrative Aid".
