What should the new Congress do to address America's energy security challenge?
First, insure America against the next oil shock. America is still mired in a recession yet oil, the commodity that lubricates its economy, is already at $90 a barrel. Iran, which currently presides over OPEC, announced that oil is set to hit $100 in the short term, a price the Islamic republic sees as "quite normal." At current prices America pays more than a billion dollars a day for foreign oil. But this cost is bound to increase whether or not we overcome the recession. If strong growth resumes, demand for oil will grow and so will its price. A lingering recession, on the other hand, could too bring about high oil prices. Oil makes the lion share of all traded commodities. Possible economic dislocations like dollar collapse or the onset of inflation will trigger a rush to commodities and this in turn will cause an upward pressure on crude prices. If oil goes back to its summer 2008 level of nearly $150, some $700 billion will migrate overseas, an amount equivalent to our defense budget or about half of all discretionary spending. In the current economy, such an oil spike would be as devastating as a second heart attack for a fragile patient who is just recovering from a first one. It could send the country into a depression. Congress should do all it can to prevent such oil-induced economic heart attack.
Second, focus on crude, not carbon. The reason the Pelosi-Reid duo's energy legislation failed so miserably in the 111th Congress is that Democrats were more focused on the climate than on energy security. The obsession with cap-and- trade failed to resonate with the economically embattled American people. Voters' support dwindled further when they discovered that the "low-carbon-economy-creates-green-jobs" aplenty indeed – but in China rather than the U.S. Hard as it may be for some to accept, the melting of the ice caps is not anywhere on the top of Americans' priority list, but the melting of the U.S. economy is. Global warming driven Democrats set their sights on the coal industry. But from an economic standpoint coal is a great bargain. The annual U.S. coal expenditure for electric generation is roughly $30 billion, and because the U.S. does not import coal most of this money remains in the U.S. economy. America's oil bill, on the other hand, is over $600 billion – twenty fold – and most of it leaves the U.S., accounting for half our trade deficit while enriching some of the world's worst regimes. If we are to stem the flow of money out of our economy Congress should focus on policies that lessen our use of oil, not coal.
Third, think small: One reason the previous Congress failed to move energy policy is that it tried to lump all energy related issues, from electricity to transportation to nuclear waste disposal, into one comprehensive omnibus bill. Such an approach becomes a legislative nightmare marred with jurisdictional warfare. The result, heavily lubricated with pork, is always a mishmash of expensive policies – the sum of all lobbies – creating a lot of K Street jobs but much less energy. Instead, the new Congress should divide energy policy making into smaller, more manageable and politically feasible issue-specific bills aimed at expanding competition and liberating the energy market, and focus on them one at a time. In Washington, less is often more.
Fourth, ensure that new cars enable fuel competition. The root of our energy security vulnerability is not the amount of oil we consume or import but the fact that the oil cartel, OPEC, sits on 78 percent of world oil reserves while deliberately constraining supply to keep prices high, and that this cartel is the driver's seat of the global economy due to oil's virtual monopoly over transportation fuel. Almost all of our cars can run on nothing but oil. To knock OPEC off its pedestal we must strip oil of its strategic status – make it just another commodity, something that's bought and sold and useful for a range of purposes, but its price spikes can no longer bring our economy to its knees. For that to happen we must have the option of buying non oil based fuels for our car if prices go up. There are a number of vehicle technologies that enable fuel competition, but the simplest and cheapest way to open the fuel market to competition is to ensure that all new cars sold in the U.S. are flex fuel vehicles, capable of running on any combination of gasoline and alcohol fuels such as methanol (made from coal, natural gas, and biomass) and ethanol. Such Open Fuel Standard legislation would add about $100 to the cost of a new vehicle but would save consumers a great deal of money if oil prices spike by enabling them to fuel switch on the fly. The Open Fuel Standard requires no new taxes, no expensive tax breaks or other government handouts. All that is needed is for automakers to tweak the engine of new cars at a cost lower than that of a CD player.
Fifth, open the transportation fuel market to natural gas. America has increased its natural gas reserves and natural gas is historically cheap in comparison to oil, which is why it is probably a good idea to use part of America's gas as an oil substitute. But we should do it the free market way, not the Pickens way. Influenced by T. Boone Pickens multimillion dollar PR campaign Congressional leaders are willing to provide tax credits of up to $65,000 per vehicle to convert it to run on compressed natural gas. But if new cars were gasoline-ethanol-methanol flexible, a feature that adds less than $100 to the cost of a car, the same natural gas could be converted to methanol, which currently sells for about a dollar a gallon, and used as transportation fuel without the need for such expensive tax breaks. Which makes more sense?
In sum, the new Congress should do what it was elected to do – be fiscally responsible. As such, it should adhere to conservative economic principles of advancing competition, consumer choice, free trade and conservative spending and apply them consistently in its energy policy making. By cutting the nation's oil bill Congress could prevent hundreds of billions of dollars from bleeding out of the anemic U.S. economy. Members of the new Congress should remember that any attempt to put our fiscal house in order will not be complete without breaking the stranglehold of OPEC over our economy by breaking oil's monopoly over transportation fuels.

Kenya arrest extremist medical students plotting biological attack, recruiting for ISISRate this title
Kenyan troops have been battling Al-Shabab forces since 2011 and now ISIS is looking to use Al-Shabab scheme to recruit youths
Mohammed Abdi Ali, a medical intern at Wote Hospital with his wife, a medical student in Uganda and two other accomplices Ahmed Hish and Farah Dagane were arrested by authorities in Kenya for plotting a biological attack on the East African nation, which has been battling Al-Shabab insurgency.
The medics were also recruiting university students for the Islamic State group ISIS, which is replicating Al-Shabab in the use of Kenyan youths to attack the country. Activists however said one of those the police said was arrested, Ahmed Hish is a rights campaigner who had gone missing. They have accused the police of making a false statement after mounting pressure about his whereabouts.
"Ali has been engaged in the active radicalization, recruitment of university students and other Kenyan youth into terrorism networks," Kenyan authorities said.
The suspects were said to be planning an attack larger than the one on the Westgate Mall and Garrisa University which killed 67 and 148 people respectively. At least two dozen Kenyans travelled to Libya to join the ISIS group and fears of attacking Western targets like resorts have heightened. Kenyan police said the accused were helped by medical experts but fell short of releasing the name of the "experts" to use anthrax to carry out the attack.
Kenyan troops are main targets
Since 2011, Kenyan forces have been aiding Somali troops to fight Al-Shabab militants. The extremist group carried out attacks in Kenya in retaliation. Earlier this year, at least 180 Kenyan troops were killed by Al-Shabab loyalists who mounted an assault on their AU peacekeepers base in El-Ade, southern Somalia.
Al-Shabab says it will drive out AU and Kenyan forces out of Somalia. It has also targeted Ugandan and Burundian troops in latest attacks.
The Garrisa attacks proved Kenya is ill-prepared to prevent attacks especially on its border towns and cities. The Government has attempted to close down refugee camps largely occupied by Somalian refugees.
Kenya is the main ally of the United States in the global war on terror in East Africa and Al-Shabab is using Kenyan division especially after the 2007 elections violence to recruit more people and wage war on Kenya. The African Union mission in Somalia (AMISOM) pushed Al-Shabab out of Magadishu and many key parts of the country that they controlled.

Revolution is as unpredictable as an earthquake and as beautiful as spring. Its coming is always a surprise, but its nature should not be.
Revolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass. The women of Cairo do not move as freely in public as they did during those few precious weeks when the old rules were suspended and everything was different. But the old Egypt is gone and Egyptians' sense of themselves -- and our sense of them -- is forever changed.
No revolution vanishes without effect. The Prague Spring of 1968 was brutally crushed, but 21 years later when a second wave of revolution liberated Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, who had been the reformist Secretary of the Czechoslovakian Communist Party, returned to give heart to the people from a balcony overlooking Wenceslas Square: "The government is telling us that the street is not the place for things to be solved, but I say the street was and is the place. The voice of the street must be heard."
The voice of the street has been a bugle cry this year. You heard it. Everyone did, but the rulers who thought their power was the only power that mattered, heard it last and with dismay. Many of them are nervous now, releasing political prisoners, lowering the price of food, and otherwise trying to tamp down uprisings.
There were three kinds of surprise about this year's unfinished revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, and the rumblings elsewhere that have frightened the mighty from Saudi Arabia to China, Algeria to Bahrain. The West was surprised that the Arab world, which we have regularly been told is medieval, hierarchical, and undemocratic, was full of young men and women using their cell phones, their Internet access, and their bodies in streets and squares to foment change and temporarily live a miracle of direct democracy and people power. And then there is the surprise that the seemingly unshakeable regimes of the strongmen were shaken into pieces.
And finally, there is always the surprise of: Why now? Why did the crowd decide to storm the Bastille on July 14, 1789, and not any other day? The bread famine going on in France that year and the rising cost of food had something to do with it, as hunger and poverty does with many of the Middle Eastern uprisings today, but part of the explanation remains mysterious. Why this day and not a month earlier or a decade later? Or never instead of now?
Oscar Wilde once remarked, "To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect." This profound uncertainty has been the grounds for my own hope.
Hindsight is 20/20, they say, and you can tell stories where it all makes sense. A young Tunisian college graduate, Mohammed Bouazizi, who could find no better work than selling produce from a cart on the street, was so upset by his treatment at the hands of a policewoman that he set himself afire on December 17, 2010. His death two weeks later became the match that lit the country afire -- but why that death? Or why the death of Khaled Said, an Egyptian youth who exposed police corruption and was beaten to death for it? He got a Facebook page that said "We are all Khaled Said," and his death, too, was a factor in the uprisings to come.
But when exactly do the abuses that have been tolerated for so long become intolerable? When does the fear evaporate and the rage generate action that produces joy? After all, Tunisia and Egypt were not short on intolerable situations and tragedies before Bouazizi's self-immolation and Said's murder.
Thich Quang Duc burned himself to death at an intersection in Saigon on June 11, 1963, to protest the treatment of Buddhists by the U.S.-backed government of South Vietnam. His stoic composure while in flames was widely seen and may have helped produce a military coup against the regime six months later -- a change, but not necessarily a liberation. In between that year and this one, many people have fasted, prayed, protested, gone to prison, and died to call attention to cruel regimes, with little or no measurable consequence.
Guns and butterflies
The boiling point of water is straightforward, but the boiling point of societies is mysterious. Bouazizi's death became a catalyst, and at his funeral the 5,000 mourners chanted, "Farewell, Mohammed, we will avenge you. We weep for you today, we will make those who caused your death weep."
But his was not the first Tunisian gesture of denunciation. An even younger man, the rap artist who calls himself El General, uploaded a song about the horror of poverty and injustice in the country and, as the Guardian put it, "within hours, the song had lit up the bleak and fearful horizon like an incendiary bomb." Or a new dawn. The artist was arrested and interrogated for three very long days, and then released thanks to widespread protest. And surely before him we could find another milestone. And another young man being subjected to inhuman conditions. And behind the uprising in Egypt are a panoply of union and human rights organizers as well as charismatic individuals.
This has been a great year for the power of the powerless and for the courage and determination of the young. A short, fair-haired, mild man even younger than Bouazizi has been held under extreme conditions in solitary confinement in a Marine brig in Quantico, Virginia, for the last several months. He is charged with giving hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. documents to WikiLeaks and so unveiling some of the more compromised and unsavory operations of the American military and U.S. diplomacy. Bradley Manning was a 22-year-old soldier stationed in Iraq when he was arrested last spring. The acts he's charged with have changed the global political landscape and fed the outrage in the Middle East.
As Foreign Policy put it in a headline, "In one fell swoop, the candor of the cables released by WikiLeaks did more for Arab democracy than decades of backstage U.S. diplomacy." The cables suggested, among other things, that the U.S. was not going to back Tunisian dictator Ben Ali to the bitter end, and that the regime's corruption was common knowledge.
Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story, a 1958 comic book about the Civil Rights struggle in the American South and the power of nonviolence was translated and distributed by the American Islamic Council in the Arab world in 2008 and has been credited with influencing the insurgencies of 2011. So the American Islamic Council played a role, too -- a role definitely not being investigated by anti-Muslim Congressman Peter King in his hearings on the "radicalization of Muslims in America." Behind King are the lessons he, in turn, learned from Mohandas Gandhi, whose movement liberated India from colonial rule 66 years ago, and so the story comes back to the east.
Causes are Russian dolls. You can keep opening each one up and find another one behind it. WikiLeaks and Facebook and Twitter and the new media helped in 2011, but new media had been around for years. Asmaa Mahfouz was a young Egyptian woman who had served time in prison for using the Internet to organize a protest on April 6, 2008, to support striking workers. With astonishing courage, she posted a video of herself on Facebook on January 18, 2011, in which she looked into the camera and said, with a voice of intense conviction:
"Four Egyptians have set themselves on fire to protest humiliation and hunger and poverty and degradation they had to live with for 30 years. Four Egyptians have set themselves on fire thinking maybe we can have a revolution like Tunisia, maybe we can have freedom, justice, honor, and human dignity. Today, one of these four has died, and I saw people commenting and saying, 'May God forgive him. He committed a sin and killed himself for nothing.' People, have some shame."
She described an earlier demonstration at which few had shown up: "I posted that I, a girl, am going down to Tahrir Square, and I will stand alone. And I'll hold up a banner. Perhaps people will show some honor. No one came except three guys -- three guys and three armored cars of riot police. And tens of hired thugs and officers came to terrorize us."
Mahfouz called for the gathering in Tahrir Square on January 25th that became the Egyptian revolution. The second time around she didn't stand alone. Eighty-five thousand Egyptians pledged to attend, and soon enough, millions stood with her.
The revolution was called by a young woman with nothing more than a Facebook account and passionate conviction. They were enough. Often, revolution has had such modest starts. On October 5, 1789, a girl took a drum to the central markets of Paris. The storming of the Bastille a few months before had started, but hardly completed, a revolution. That drummer girl helped gather a mostly female crowd of thousands who marched to Versailles and seized the royal family. It was the end of the Bourbon monarchy.
Women often find great roles in revolution, simply because the rules fall apart and everyone has agency, anyone can act. As they did in Egypt, where liberty leading the masses was an earnest young woman in a black veil.
That the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can shape the weather in Texas is a summation of chaos theory that is now an oft-repeated cliché. But there are billions of butterflies on earth, all flapping their wings. Why does one gesture matter more than another? Why this Facebook post, this girl with a drum?
Even to try to answer this you'd have to say that the butterfly is born aloft by a particular breeze that was shaped by the flap of the wing of, say, a sparrow, and so behind causes are causes, behind small agents are other small agents, inspirations, and role models, as well as outrages to react against. The point is not that causation is unpredictable and erratic. The point is that butterflies and sparrows and young women in veils and an unknown 20-year-old rapping in Arabic and you yourself, if you wanted it, sometimes have tremendous power, enough to bring down a dictator, enough to change the world.

Elephants of Norwich
What an exciting week it has been. The elephants are out on the street and look fantastic. Here are a few shots of them and I shall attempt to hunt them all down.
It is quite thrilling to see one's work on the streets so here's NORMA (made with the staff of John Lewis), CAMOFLAGEPHANT and KING KERCHING all of which I had a hand in (as it were).

Transitioning your practice from one advisory platform to another can be an efficient, well- thought-out project — or a complete disaster. For the most part, it's in your hands whether or not the process is painful.
When I transitioned my financial advisory practice to a new firm nearly 16 years ago, the stock market was in turmoil following the burst of the dot-com bubble. My clients were not only dealing with tumbling markets, but had to adjust to working with an adviser in a new setting. I learned quite a bit about transitioning from that experience.
Flash forward to today: Transitioning to another advisory platform does not have to be this difficult. In fact, it can be much less invasive when executed with care and diligence.
The landscape today presents challenges to planners from all angles. Advisers are tasked with managing client expectations, communications and investment performance, all while maintaining efficient back office operations and complying with increasingly stringent government regulation. These forces are tempting more and more firm owners to contemplate transitioning their practice to a full-service advisory platform to take off some of the pressure.
Certain platforms have also become increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive in the services they provide, including technological capabilities, business consulting, trading support, and more. While the benefits of transitioning to a full-service independent platform are clear, the process can be tricky and firm operators must take great care when making the switch. In my 13 years observing firm owners transition their practices, I've seen a fair share of success stories as well as a few real calamities.
With that said, keep these tips in mind when making a transition:
1. Pick a firm with the right transition tools and a solid track record
Be sure to ask about the experience and tenure of the onboarding team. How many successful transitions have they executed in past 12 months? How long did they take? Do they have training programs and timelines? If so, ask for a demonstration and make sure the resources are up to snuff.
When shopping around, you'll find many advisory platforms fall short in terms of these transition services. It's incredibly important to make sure the new firm has a strong history of successfully executing transitions and a team in place to offer support throughout the sometimes arduous process.
2. Actually do the trainings
It may seem obvious, but I've seen countless transitions fall short of expectations simply because the incoming advisers failed to participate in training seminars offered by their new platform provider.
When an adviser fails to complete the training, it sends the wrong message to their new partners and sets a dangerous precedent for the future of the relationship. A limited understanding of the new processes and procedures also makes the adviser look unprofessional in the eyes of the client.
Completing the training seminars before, during and after the transition can also go a long way in maximizing the assets brought over from the previous platform.
Recently, I saw a firm transfer $140 million of assets in three weeks primarily due to their swift and comprehensive understanding of their new systems through the training seminars.
3. Keep it on the down-low
Loose lips sink ships. Advisers typically feel the urge to tell their clients, especially the large ones, about this exciting new move. However, regulation may prohibit discussing a transition with a client until after it is completed.
In fact, if you're transitioning from a wirehouse, the adviser usually is only allowed to bring clients' names, phone numbers, home address, email address and account type information to their new platform.
In my experience, informing clients of a move before it happens can lead to disaster. Knowing that there is a strong relationship between adviser and client, it is imperative to fight the urge to break industry rules or employment agreements. Clients often do not understand they can get their adviser in trouble by telling the wrong person. If word gets out, the adviser could face regulatory fines and penalties.
4. Prepare a disciplined client communication strategy
Immediately following the transition, the implementation of a rapid and disciplined communication plan is essential to optimizing asset retention.
Considering they have been left in the dark up to this point, clients will likely be brimming with questions about how the transition will affect their accounts. Begin with phone and email communication and then schedule as many in-person meetings as possible in the following weeks.
Remember, investors want continuity. Anytime a client begins working with a new adviser, they're starting a relationship from scratch. Be sure to emphasize the benefits of the new platform and remind clients that no other adviser knows their personality, risk tolerance, family situation and goals better than you.
Follow the above four steps and a successful transition will be yours. The success of your transformation is in your hands.

Movable chord shapes
By learning movable shapes you will instantly know all chords in a particular category. For example, if you learn the shape for the A9 chord you will automatically know A#/Bb9, B9, C9 and all others in the same chord family. That is because you only have to move the same chord shape up or down the fretboard. One of the advantages of movable chords is when it comes to more uncommon chords that you don't use very often. This overview teaches you plenty of chords, but you only need to memorize one chord from every category.
F-shapes: major, sus, 6th and add
The major F chord including four fingers are movable, and, with adding a finger on different strings three additional movable chords could be played.
The shapes above are major, sus4, 6th and add9. Some examples with short notation:
F#sus4: XX4422
Gadd9: XX5435
6th chord
The 6th chord includes four notes, a major and an added sixth. For example, C6 consist of C, E, G and A. You can use the chord shape below to play the 6th chord in all twelve notes.
As you can see the second and the highest strings should not be played. An easy way to mute the second string is to touch it with your index finger. The root of the chord is on the first string. Consequently, you find G6 on the third fret, A6 on the fifth fret and then the rest with the same method. See the fretboard overview if needed.
9th chord
Here is another relative uncommon chord that you can learn by only memorizing one movable shape.
The 9th chord consists of five notes and is built by adding the ninth to a dominant chord. The C9, for example, includes the following notes: C, E, G, Bb and D.
11th chord
The 11th chord remains a little of the 9th chord shape. This chord consists of six notes, but in the shape below only four are used. There are more ways to play this chord, but it isn't necessary to play all notes in the chord. The notes in the chord are the root, the third, the minor seventh and the eleventh.
13th chord
The 13th chord consists of seven notes! So it's impossible to play all notes simultaneously on a six-stringed guitar. Neither is this wanted, since it would create dissonance. Instead, we choose the most important notes and this result in many variations of how the chord could be played, even as a movable chord there are many variations. If one movable shape could be called standard, it would be this one:
7sus4 chord
The seventh sus chord is relatively uncommon and for some tones the shapes are pretty hard. Therefore, a movable alternative could be helpful in some situations. The root note is on the fourth string.
Alternative major shapes
There are lots of other ways to play major chord besides the open and bar chords.
This could be used for nice fingerpicking and some examples of chords are:
Notice that you should also play this shape with an open A-string when in A major key. In that case three central chords are:
Dadd9/A: X0423X
Voicings with open A major shape:
Sometimes it's easy to play guitar and doing something new. Here are two chord voicing based on the common A-shape, major and sus4 (plus a third variant). Move around the shapes and vary between major, sus and the third shape and you chould, for example, play in a Keith Richards-like style.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Analysis: Dynasty Sports Empire's #Walkoff2
From the middle of December through the middle of January, I participated in a Draft-master style (not to be mistaken with Gengham Style) slow fantasy baseball draft hosted by Lawrence Marino, the owner of Dynasty Sports Empire. It is a ten-team roto league where all rosters are frozen for the entire season. Basically, the team we draft is the team we are stuck with as there are no trades, no transactions, no waivers…nothing. It is essentially a test to see who really did draft the best team. I had the 10th pick of the first round which means I had the wrap-around. In a ten-team league, that is very advantageous.
Below is a summary of the team I drafted along with some comments and analysis. It is in order of which round the player was selected in.
1. Albert Pujols (1B-LAA). This was an easy choice as King Albert slipped to me at the end of the first round. Granted his numbers were somewhat pedestrian in 2012 when compared to previous years. However, he now has a year under his belt on a new team and also has Josh Hamilton hitting behind him. I expect the power numbers to slightly increase as well as a return to his usual plus-.300 batting average.
2. Justin Verlander (SP-DET). I wanted to take a pitcher here because it would be another 20 picks before I go again. The decision to take Justin Verlander was another easy choice given how dominant he has been and should continue to be. There is no reason not to expect at least 17 wins, a sub-3.00 ERA, 200+ strikeouts, and a great WHIP.
3. Curtis Granderson (OF-NYY). I expect eyebrows to be raised at this selection, but allow me to explain. Curtis Granderson is a free agent after 2013 and we all know what happens during players' contract years. Granderson's batting average took a major nosedive in 2012, but I expect that to bounce back. He will provide great production with homeruns and runs scored, and could be in for more RBI depending on where he bats in the Yankees lineup.
4. Hanley Ramirez (SS-LAD). Talk about a player whose fantasy value has gone down faster than a Kardashian on a NBA player, Hanley Ramirez needed a change of scenery in the worst way. Now that he is in Los Angeles, I would expect his production to improve as well. His stolen base numbers will never likely be what they once were, but for a player who qualifies at both 3B and SS you can't argue with his projected power numbers hitting in a potent Dodgers' lineup.
5. Roy Halladay (SP-PHI). I was quite surprised to see Roy Halladay still available at this point in the draft. I wasn't planning on taking a second pitcher at this point, but I couldn't pass up the chance to grab the former Cy Young award winner and pair him up with Verlander on my staff. He had a down year in 2012 with some injuries and a lack of run support. However, I fully expect a return to greatness, especially because the Phillies will be a better team overall as well.
6. Jacoby Ellsbury (OF-BOS). It was just a year ago that Jacoby Ellsbury was considered a top 10 pick in any draft. However, injuries derailed him in 2012. Now he comes back in his contract year looking to prove he is worth a hefty new deal as a long-term investment. I think grabbing him in the 6th round will provide great value with his ability to contribute in all five roto categories,
7. Aramis Ramirez (3B-MIL). After all of these years, Aramis Ramirez still tends to go under the radar when discussing some of the better options at third base. Never before has this position lacked so much depth, but Ramirez is as consistent as they come with a solid batting average and close to 30 homeruns and 100 RBI every year.
8. Jonathan Papelbon (RP-PHI). Wanting to make sure I got at least one elite closer, I grabbed Papelbon here in the 8th. The Phillies will certainly be better this season which means more saves opportunities. Papelbon had a very good inaugural season in Philadelphia, but with an improved team overall he could reach up to 40-45 saves.
9. Mark Teixeira (1B-NYY). Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has been one of the most frustrating players to have on a fantasy team these past few years. Once a perennial .275 – .290 hitter, Teixeira has become an albatross for batting average in roto leagues. His power numbers have remained consistent, but he has never really elevated his game to the next level. Now in his 5th season with the Yankees and A-Rod missing half the season, I think Teixeira could finally be in for his breakout season in pinstripes.
10. Yovani Gallardo (SP-MIL). After already drafting Justin Verlander and Roy Halladay, I grabbed Gallardo as my third starting pitcher. What is not to like? He wins double-digit games with a good ERA and high strikeout totals.
11. Alex Gordon (OF-KC). Coming into 2012, Alex Gordon was very high on my radar after his breakout 2011 season. After a slow start, he did finish strong. But now I think Gordon is ready to take an even bigger step as the Royals mix and match some young stars with veteran players to make a run in 2013. As Gordon gets stronger, a lot of those extra base hits are going to find their way over the fence for homeruns.
12. Carlos Beltran (OF-STL). In this league, there is no disabled list or add/drops. That means that I took a chance by drafting Carlos Beltran who is a lock to miss time at some point during the season. He had a very productive debut season in St. Louis last year, but he did miss several games with various ailments to his legs. If he can play 130-135 games, he should be able to put up similar power numbers.
13. Carlos Santana (C-CLE). I am never a fan of drafting catchers before the end of a draft, but with Carlos Santana still available I had to take him. Santana will be another year removed from his knee injury and will get time at first base and DH to keep his bat in the lineup. With an improved team around him, he should be counted on for 20 homeruns and 75 RBI assuming he remains healthy.
14. Drew Storen (RP-WAS). It is incredible that the Nationals had such a dominant bullpen in 2012 without Drew Storen as their closer for almost the entire year. Now Storen is healthy and will have his job back as closer. The Nationals have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball and will have plenty of opportunities for Storen to rack up saves.
15. Ichiro Suzuki (OF-NYY). Recognizing that my roster was deficient in projected stolen bases, I decided to take one of my favorite fantasy players of all-time in Ichiro Suzuki. I know he won't hit .340 with 60 stolen bases any more, but playing every day in the Yankees lineup should bring some of his fantasy value back in terms of batting average, runs scored and stolen bases.
16. Tom Wilhelmsen (RP-SEA). Acting on pure instinct, I decided to go for the kill in saves and grab a third closer. Wilhelmsen emerged from nowhere in 2012 to become a viable fantasy closer after taking over for Brandon League. The Mariners probably won't win more than 70-75 games, but Wilhelmsen should save about 30 of them.
17. David Ortiz (DH-BOS). This was another risky pick given Ortiz's age and injury history, but at this point in the draft his upside was too valuable. Even at his age, David Ortiz still is capable of hitting .300 with 30 homeruns and 100 RBI. Boston has overhauled a majority of the lineup around him, so Ortiz should have plenty of run-producing opportunities. It will be interesting to see how John Farrell uses him in interleague games which could possibly cost him some at bats.
18. Joel Hanrahan (RP-BOS). Now I am just being greedy with saves. I was very surprised that the Red Sox new closer, Joel Hanrahan, was still available at this point of the draft. He is coming off of two very good seasons with the Pirates and now inherits the closing duties in Boston. The issue will be how many save chances he gets because Boston's starting pitching and middle relievers must show a significant improvement from last year.
19. Dan Uggla (2B-ATL). I waited this long without taking a second baseman and I was still able to get Braves all-star Dan Uggla. There is no question that he will not help me in batting average, but he is one of the most powerful second basemen in the league. To get a second baseman that will hit at least 20 homeruns and drive in 75 runs at this point in the draft is a steal.
20. Alexei Ramirez (SS-CHW). My final pick of the draft is another player who has yet to really fulfill his potential. White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez has the tools to be a very good fantasy player with a good combination of power and speed. At the very least, Ramirez will provide depth at the middle infield position and give me some much needed stolen bases.
Here is what my roster looks like positionally:
C Carlos Santana (CLE)
1B Albert Pujols (LAA)
2B Dan Uggla (ATL)
3B Aramis Ramirez (MIL)
SS Hanley Ramirez (LAD)
CI Mark Teixeira (NYY)
MI Alexei Ramirez (CHW)
OF Curtis Granderson (NYY)
OF Jacoby Ellsbury (BOS)
OF Alex Gordon (KC)
OF Carlos Beltran (STL)
OF Ichiro Suzuki (NYY)
UT David Ortiz (BOS)
SP Justin Verlander (DET)
SP Roy Halladay (PHI)
SP Yovani Gallardo (MIL)
RP Jonathan Papelbon (PHI)
RP Drew Storen (WAS)
RP Tom Wilhelmsen (SEA)
RP Joel Hanrahan (BOS)
Overall I like this team quite a bit. I think my power and run production should be at or near the top of the league. My biggest concerns offensively are batting average and stolen bases. If Ellsbury and Ichiro have vintage years, then I should be fine. On the pitching side, I am very pleased having three dominant starters plus four closers.

Sydney has become Australia's entrepreneurial hub, but we are still struggling to attract, nurture and retain world-class talent.
Businesses often lament the fact that, despite our beautiful natural assets and appealing lifestyle, we still suffer from braindrain which prevents Australia-based companies from performing up to their potential.
Lord Mayoral candidate Councillor Christine Forster and the Sydney Liberal team have developed a set of policies to help Sydney compete internationally.
"Sydney shouldn't be a 'poor relation' on the global innovation stage," says Councillor Forster.
"We have a global reputation in finance, the arts and education – all the preconditions for a thriving innovation culture. And size can't be an excuse either. The City of Sydney electorate has twice the population of Jerusalem, but Israel's capital has already made a name for itself as a world-leading innovation hub. I want the same for Sydney. I want there to be 10 Atlassians, not one."
The Sydney Liberal team is putting forward a number of policies to support this goal:
Emerging Entrepreneurs Program
"As Lord Mayor, I'm looking forward to establishing the Sydney Emerging Entrepreneurs Program, aimed at providing practical support and small grants to the city's best emerging start-ups. Currently, Sydney ranks 16th out of 20 cities on the Start-up Ecosystem Index, but with 64% of Australian technology start-ups coming from Sydney, I'd like to stimulate growth further, creating more jobs, and boosting our local economy."
A dedicated start-up incubator
"Start-up businesses tell me that the biggest challenge they face is finding affordable office space in Sydney," says Councillor Forster.
"If elected, I will establish an incubator similar to 'The Capital' in Brisbane and provide affordable office space for start-ups."
International start-up satellite offices
Sydney's proximity to Asia and its highly developed knowledge economy make it an attractive stepping stone for US companies interested in expanding into Asia.
"To help promote Sydney to US companies wanting to establish an outpost to expand into Asia, we will establish an office in San Francisco, and investigate further offices in Guangzhou and Singapore," says Councillor Forster.
For continuous updates on the campaign, follow Christine on Facebook: facebook.com/ChristineForsterSydney
Councillor and Liberal candidate for Lord Mayor Christine Forster is available for comment.

Honor 5C review
|Review: October 2016
In a nutshell: The Honor 5C is a budget handset from Huawei that gives a lot more than it should for the money. With a fast octa-core processor, Full HD 5.2 inch screen, strong 3,000mAh battery and customisable fingerprint sensor, the Honor 5C puts up a good fight in the under-£200 smartphone sector.
Today's best buy: Honor 5C Smartphone Grey (5. ... from Amazon (£0)
The Huawei Honor 5C is a smaller and cheaper version of the company's Honor 5X handset. With a faster 8-core processor and an upgraded front camera, it seems like a very good choice, especially since it uses the latest version of Huawei's user interface. The 5C is also a more manageable size than the big 5X, and it competes head-on with popular phones like the Samsung J5 and Motorola G4. It's worth a try if you're on the Three network and fancy a change from the usual.
Honor 5C features include:
- Operating system: Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.1
- 13 megapixel rear camera with autofocus, HDR and LED flash, 1080p video recording
- 8 megapixel front camera
- Display: 5.2 inch IPS screen, 1920 x 1080 pixels
- AGPS & GLONASS positioning
- Processor: Kirin 650 Octa-Core CPU with 4 x 2.0GHz + 4 x 1.7GHz Cortex cores, Mali-T830MP2 GPU
- Sensors: Accelerometer, Proximity, Ambient Light, Digital Compass, Hall, Fingerprint
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, micro USB, 3.5mm audio jack
- Memory: 16GB, microSD memory card slot (up to 128GB), 2GB RAM
- 4G LTE (Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20), 3G HSPA, quadband GSM
- Size: 147.1 x 73.8 x 8.3 mm
- Weight: 156g
- Battery: 3000 mAh

I know that MANY people do end of the year/new year posts, and I think I will partake. At first, I was hesitant to do an end-of-the-year review because it seemed rather narcissistic, but I thought it would be good to look at what I did over the past year. This year seemed to fly by, and when I look at the previous posts, I am stunned to remember that some of these things were only made months ago--it seems much longer!
January 2012--my highlight was the first thing I handmade for my nephew--triforce mittens!
February 2012--my highlight was trying fabric paint and stencils for the first time to make some custom pillows for my boyfriend's brother. Since using this technique, I have customized a onesie and at least 2 shirts.
March 2012--my highlight was making some cookies for my two friends who were getting engaged. I've really dabbled a lot into cookie making a decorating this year, which is a time-consuming but pretty awesome process. This is also the time when the vast majority of my friends are getting engaged and married. I'm so happy for them all.
April 2012--my highlight was finishing the first pattern I drafted from scratch, and then actually purchasing fabric to sew it up! I called the pattern "Harmony" after a friend who shares a crafty interest. I hope to revisit the pattern this year and make a few tweaks to it.
June 2012 I took a break as teaching was really getting to me. At this point, I am now tenured, but I still question if this is the right career for me. There are some days when I KNOW this is my career, that this is what I'm meant to do. At the same time, there are some days I want to pack it all up and just start over.
July 2012--My highlight was not about teaching, or sewing, or knitting--it was painting! Although I had finished this wall art in May, I did not get around to posting it until July. I found an image a few years back (source unknown) and decided to re-create it. It still hangs above our bed, and I really love it.
ong list of goals for the upcoming school year, and I will reflect on those once we pass midterm examinations. Tying in with the school theme, I crocheted little plush guys I call Scire plushes. I give them out to students after each test, and they are in high demand. It's a different reward, and I am going through stash yarn like crazy! Win win!
September 2012--my highlight was once again not anything related to my blog title (as miamihoney pointed out =P ), but woodworking. I made a custom jewelry organizer. I still use it, and I am much better about putting things back on it. Before, when my jewelry was organized but hidden, I could afford to be sloppy. Now that it's on display, I have to make sure it is neat!
October 2012--my highlight was more cookies! I will never be a professional baker, but as much work as they were, I was super proud of these cookies. They took HOURS to decorate properly, but they almost looked professional!
November 2012--my highlight was a quick and successful project that had no setbacks. I used a pattern and lengthened it to make an easy dress. It is a bright addition to my wardrobe, and I'd wear it once a week if I could.
December 2012--my highlight was another dress, but this was not quick, moderately successful, and had quite a few setbacks. I still need to take out and re-do the zipper, I need to re-cut the armscyres, and I need to lengthen it. However, many of my friends were extremely impressed that I made the dress. I guess most people I know (besides family) really don't know that I craft. :-)
Have a terrific New Year! Be safe!

Louis Uchitelle frames the issue the wrong way around: there is no such thing as "overinvestment," there is only too little aggregate demand. If you think that there is "overinvestment," dropping the interest rate will cure you of that belief. At least, it will until you hit a liquidity trap... But it looks like that is no longer a dangerous possibility.

Overcapacity Stalls New Jobs: But another dynamic closer to home is weighing on job creation -- the slow process of working through a glut of boom-era investment that continues to litter the economy with underused factories. Procter & Gamble, for example, has been dumping its weakest brands and the plants that produce them. At its Ivorydale industrial complex here, in Procter's hometown, the company has sold factories that make Crisco shortening, Olean fat substitute and Ivory soap to three manufacturers, each with plans for squeezing efficiencies from the operations. Hiring more workers is the last item on their agendas.
"As long as there is extra capacity available in manufacturing, there is going to be room to move work around among companies without having to add workers," said Thomas A. Kochan, a labor and management expert at the Sloan School of Management of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That is true with a vengeance today. Not since the severe recession of the early 1980's has capacity use in manufacturing stayed so low for so long, government data show. Production as a percentage of total capacity fell precipitously in the aftermath of the last recession, which ended in 2001, and 23 months into the recovery, the upturn has still not come. On average, manufacturers are using less than 73 percent of their capacity...

Gilder is one of those who endorsed Julian Simons' idea that we can never run out of resources, since a line can be divided into an infinite number of points. To me that's silly enough to discredit the rest of his life work, in and of itself.
The "dose of religion" part is all to true. There's an ungodly mess of pyramid marketers, cult prophets, self-help authors, investment counselors, futurologists, and management consultants out there all saying the same loopy thing.Posted by: Zizka on October 19, 2003 01:22 PM

Why is it that such experienced writers on the economy can not seem to get economics right or simply ask for critiques from fine academic economists. Yes, there is no over-capacity for the economy as a whole, there is a need for more demand. Really, really, really.Posted by: anne on October 19, 2003 01:35 PM
It's not overinvestment, it's malinvestment.
Investment is not a lump you can just label "K".Posted by: ac on October 19, 2003 02:05 PM
'zackly. call it the buggy-whip principle.
The available bandwidth from fiber optic cables was increased five-fold even as new techniques enabled each cable to increase its information carrying capacity 10-fold- a 50-fold increase- when demand increased 4-fold. Most of this new capacity will never be used, since by the time increased demand would have caught up with it, new technologies will already have taken hold, as is already the case with wireless.
Love covereth a multitude of sins and strong aggregate demand covereth a multitude of investment losses. But even if there had been a proper fiscal policy to better induce a more robust level of demand, there would still be this legacy of malinvestment to clear up, and would not something of this issue of much higher productivity leading to declining demand for labor still remain underneath it all. Is there no issue here of structural readjustment, of developing new areas of investment and transitioning labor "markets"? And didn't these misinvestments occur precisely under high demand conditions? So that perhaps demanding demand without any idea of where demand is directed might lead to a similar impasse? Perhaps rather than covering a multitude of sins, one should clarify them.Posted by: john c. halasz on October 20, 2003 12:19 AM
Brad has made this point before, but I don't understand why, in principle, there can't be at least temporary overinvestment. Let's say businesses in the aggregate overestimate trend growth and invest in capital at a rate that produces overcapacity, even at full employment. Then they cut back on capital spending, producing unemployment, which in turn results in lower aggregate demand, and even more overcapacity. I thought this is what was meant when people speak of "overinvestment" as causing a recession. It may or may not be a true story, but it's not an incoherent idea. Maybe Brad's point is empirical, because he says "If you think that there is "overinvestment", dropping the interest rate will cure you of that belief...until you hit a liquidity trap". However, what's been distinctive about the current cycle is that capital spending had been very slow to respond to interest rate cuts, which seems to confirm rather than refute the overinvestment idea. Unless Brad thinks we've been in a liquidity trap; if so that seems more like a description of the problem than an explanation. I honestly don't understand what Brad's objection to the Uchitelle article is. Any economists out there who can enlighten me?Posted by: Phil P on October 20, 2003 12:16 PM

If, like us, you're always on the hunt for nifty yet practical storage solutions, then we may have just the thing for you! We've put the Airtight Clear Plastic Storage Box to the test and found twenty five different uses to help improve the storage in your home and lifestyle.
Forget about water and dust sneaking into your storage containers, the Airtight Clear Plastic Storage Box will keep your contents clean and dry and keep air and moisture out. We admit that it's not the most prettiest of boxes out there, but this box is designed to last and designed for practicality. And with twenty-five different ways of using it, you'll never get bored of this brilliant box.
Coming in a range of sizes, this plastic storage box is made from heavy-duty polypropylene; a resilient material that makes the box more durable and robust, yet lightweight when empty. The durable buckles keep the lid securely attached and the reinforced lid provides easy and secure stacking for multiple boxes.
The transparency of the box makes organisation easy, as contents are always visible. With airtight and weather-tight qualities, the box will also remain sealed against the environmental effects of moisture and the weather, making it an ideal storage solution in your garage, loft, shed or warehouse.
Now you've got the lowdown on the key features, check out these twenty five storage ideas of how to use the Airtight Clear Plastic Storage Box in your home; from your bathroom and bedroom to your garage and garden shed. There's also some further reading on excellent storage and decorating ideas for different rooms of your home.
When it comes to using clear storage boxes in the bedroom, there are endless solutions. Get bored easily of your storage? No problem, as you can keep mixing it up with how you use clear storage boxes.
If you've got kids then you'll already know how hard it is to keep their bedroom tidy (without having to bribe them with a sweet treat just to get them to tidy it) and you can't go a day without having to pick up all the toys from the floor just to get to the bed to say goodnight. This is where clear storage boxes come in handy, as you can keep them on the shelves, you can stack them and the kids don't have to ransack the whole bedroom just to find what they're looking for, with the boxes being transparent.
The same goes for your own storage as well. Clothes and shoes are also perfect for storing in the boxes, especially if there are items that you don't wear that often but you want to protect and perhaps just stack at the back of your wardrobe to create some space. Due to their transparency, you too don't need to ransack your whole wardrobe just to find those shoes that you want to wear to that friend's wedding.
To help get you started, these are our top five ways of using the clear plastic storage box with the bedroom:
Need some more ideas around smart storage solutions for your bedroom? Take a look at the links below.
Clear plastic storage boxes are super versatile and are great for organisation because of their transparency. Although it might not be the most stylish solution for your bathroom, it's certainly the most practical. Our sixth way to use the clear plastic storage box goes to...
When it comes to towels, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours and need to be both accessible but also kept neatly out the way as bathroom storage is often limited. With clear plastic storage boxes being waterproof and airtight, this solution will help keep your towels soft and fully and most importantly clean, after-all you don't want your towels collecting dust!
Whether you'd prefer to roll them up so it looks more stylish or simply fold them, you can use a clear plastic box to store your towels. It's a great way to keep tidy in the bathroom and also accessible for when you have guests.
For some further reading on clever storage ideas for your bathroom, take a look at some of the links below.
The kitchen is a place for a whole plethora of fantastic storage ideas and projects that can make daily life more interesting and easier on an everyday basis. Clear storage boxes are great for the following two uses:
Starting off with recycling, it can become a fun and rewarding task to lead a greener lifestyle and start making a difference to our carbon footprint. Recycling can be an easy task once you have a great system in place. Clear storage boxes can be great for storing either in your kitchen if you have the space, or in your garage, or even outside (since the boxes are waterproof) for sorting out your recycling ready for collection.
When it comes to food storage, there are only certain types of foods that are suitable for storage in boxes, potatoes being one of the most favourable! Whether you prefer to store your potatoes on the worktop or in a cupboard (a cool, dark place is supposedly best), a storage box will help keep you organised and bulky food items out of the way.
The below links provide some further reading for storage ideas in your kitchen.
If you have quite a large living room then you're probably lucky enough to own plenty of shelving and bookcases which solves most of your storage dilemmas. However, there are a few items which you might want to keep in your living room that can be a bit trickier to store. This brings us onto the ninth and tenth ways to best use clear storage boxes within the living room:
Although a bit outdated now, you still probably want to store your CD and DVD collections, whether for convenience if your computer or phone isn't to hand, or whether to refer back to as mementos. Use a clear plastic storage box and you can stack your CD's and DVD's away in a cupboard and still be able to access them with ease.
Electronics and gaming is another useful item for storing in boxes. Those pesky wires and game consoles can often end up all over the place, so why not store all excess electronics away in a box instead?
Check out the links below where you'll find tips and ideas on how to make the most out of your living room storage.
Most of us will happily admit that our garage is home to a lot of junk and the place to put things which don't really have a place, which is fine as in most cases those items aren't usually something which you need that often. When you do come to use it though, do you find you trip over everything? Or have to re-arrange your garage just to get to that one box at the back? Being ideal for the damp and cold conditions of the garage, the Airtight Clear Plastic Storage Box will keep your contents clean and dry and keep air and moisture out.
To help get you organised, these are our top five ways of using the clear plastic storage box within the garage:
Take a look at the links below for some organisation ideas for your garage.
If you need some motivation for gardening then starting off by organising your garden shed will help inspire you. Sounds strange we know, but just hear us out...
Rather than putting gardening off because you don't want to go rummaging through the shed for the right garden tools, having an organised shed will ensure you don't waste time and instead get to enjoy more time in your garden.
The same goes with garden games and outdoor cushions and blankets. You're more likely to want to use them and get them out more frequently if they're accessible, rather than buried at the bottom of a pile of rubbish. The clear plastic boxes make great storage solutions for the following:
Want to organise your garden shed? Check out the links below for some further inspiration.
Camping is a great way of taking time out of a busy life schedule and reconnecting or spending quality time with family and friends. When organised properly and with the right equipment and preparation, camping can be really fun and memorable. In regards to camping storage, you need to think about weather conditions and accessibility. Clear storage boxes are great for the following three uses whilst camping:
It's much easier to have all your kitchen essentials in one storage box which you can pack into the back of the car and hopefully not forget anything, as it's all in one place. With the plastic storage boxes being waterproof, you can easily store food and drink in them as well which is perfect for those unpredictable summer showers. This goes the same for spare clothing and blankets, as you want to keep these dry and protected for when you need to layer up on chilly evenings.
For more ideas on how to make the most of your camping trip, take a look at the following links.
When it comes to marine storage, waterproof is all that matters. When you're out on the water or near the water, you want something that is going to protect your contents from any water damage. The clear storage box is ideal because it's made from heavy-duty polypropylene; a resilient material that makes the box more durable and robust, yet lightweight when empty. This makes it ideal for outdoor storage uses for the following:

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
"I'm really proud of you. You did really great work. Keep it up."
No, Tracy, you are most definitely not proud of me. Because for the last hour or so I've just been watching. Instead of getting off the couch, moving the coffee table, dusting off my yoga mat and actually, you know, doing stuff, I've just been lurking. See, my plan today was to workout strictly by osmosis and strangely I feel quite accomplished.
Do you ever do that? Feel as if you did something when you really didn't? I do. A lot. Take, for instance, my penchant for answering emails -- in my head. I do it so often my good friends no longer expect replies. They'll just bring up whatever they wrote me about when we see in each other in real life, using the subject line of the email like a pin cushion.
"So? That 'dress from Zara'--?" someone might begin with an inflection that implies previous knowledge.
Then I'll jump in, "Yes, ma'am. Loved. Definitely buy it. It goes with the shoes."
I also regularly go clothes shopping -- trying on loads of outfits, calculating budgets in my head -- and come home without a bag in hand and feeling more than sated. Same goes for the grocery store -- where I plan meals well into next month and buy just enough for that night -- and the bookstore, in which I touch ALL THE BOOKS and bring home magazines. And still I've checked off the smarty pants portion of my day.
It's like scrolling through pictures of someone's kid on Facebook and feeling like you met them, which then, of course, leaves you off the hook in terms of actually having to be in contact with said minion.
So. Tracy. As a closeted consumer of Goop I'm all too familiar with Gwyneth Paltrow's body guru and bestie, Tracy Anderson, who is bendy in all kinds of crazy ways. I knew, despite Gwyn's proselytizing, if I bought into "The Method" it would eventually go the way of the Great Zumba Video Obsession of '10, which occupied my living room for approximately three weeks before being banished to a dark corner of media console right next to the copy of "Thor" I convinced Redbox I never rented.
But I bought it anyway because watching it would be edifying at best and entertaining white noise at worst. I mean I'm now familiar with the legs moves Madonna used to do. I possess the key (and DVD) to unlocking Madge thighs, man.
So, after an hour of physical fitness voyeurism I've got the same, "I could do this" capable good vibes that I get from locating the aisle in Whole Foods where the black rice is, just in case some day I decide to tackle it. I'll be prepped and ready to go. Because ain't knowing half the battle?

Counselor Blogs- Lime
Howdy! My name is Emil Stavinoha, but around Camp Kesem I'm better known as "Lime." I'm a former student of Texas A&M University after graduating with my degree in Electrical Engineering. Previous blogs have mentioned "veteran" counselors, and I'm one of those having done Camp Kesem for the past two summers. Veteran sounds much better than some of the other adjectives I've been called, such as one that starts with "O" and rhymes with "gold." J
I got started with Camp Kesem two years ago after learning about the organization at the MSC open house. It was an organization in which I felt like it was something I was meant to do because cancer was something with which I had long been familiar. Like the children who come to camp every summer I also grew up with a parent fighting cancer. After a long and valiant fight, my mom lost her battle with melanoma shortly after my 13th birthday. My experiences then and the nearly 11 years since gave me a strong purpose and motivation to help out the Kesem campers and do everything I can to give them one super awesome week of summer fun.
It's been amazing to prepare and experience Kesem twice and to go through all the events and activities with my fellow counselors leading up to and through camp. The friendships and teambuilding play a big part in us being able to put on the best camp we can, and have tons of fun along the way.
This past summer I was a counselor for Teen Camp. We just started our teen camp this pass year, and since I was a blue unit counselor last year, I had many of the same campers again which really made for a wonderful week. In addition to the fun stuff all the other campers got to do; teen camp also got to experience awesome activities like archery, rifle shooting, nature adventures and hiking, and helping out with the younger campers. I was a big fan of getting my Robin Hood on with the bow and arrows, as well as shooting the rifle while wearing a Batman cape.
Our campers were amazing during our cabin chats with light hearted and fun conversations as well as getting into deeper talks about why they are all at camp and their experiences at home. One of the greatest demonstrations of just how incredible and strong these kids and teens was during the empowerment ceremony. After myself and a few other counselors shared our stories to get things started, the campers got their chance to share and the way they support each other and show so much hope, character, and maturity during unimaginable adversity is something unique about Camp Kesem that just can't be matched anywhere else. Our campers are my heroes. Being able to connect with them through shared experience is really special for me.
Camp Kesem has been a tremendous blessing for me giving me an opportunity to use my experiences to help out kids and support the cancer community with my spectacular fellow counselors that I am happy to call my friends. No one fights cancer alone; the whole family fights. Camp Kesem helps to make that family a little bit bigger, and a little bit stronger.
Thank You!
Emil "Lime" Stavinoha
