'Outside money'; Oh, the hypocrisy
It is election season in New Hampshire, which means that the activist left is attacking Republicans as pawns of out-of-state interests. They scream about out-of-state money and organizations on the right while happily embracing both on their own side. The hypocrisy is stunning.
Almost every Jeanne Shaheen campaign solicitation mentions the Koch brothers or Karl Rove or millionaires (Shaheen is one, by the way). A July 24 email actually used the phrase "the right-wing's henchmen." These solicitations direct people to donate to Shaheen's campaign through Act Blue. The state chapter, ActBlue New Hampshire, whose stated purpose is "to support Democratic candidates," is registered not in New Hampshire, but in Somerville, Mass. (Most of its donations come from New Hampshire, though.)
Other left-wing activist organizations purport to be from or based in New Hampshire, but are not. Democracy for America-NH, whose stated purpose is "to support candidates standing up for progressive values and fighting for progressive change," is based in Burlington, Vt., a city so liberal that it is the only place in Vermont to elect members of the Vermont Progressive Party to the municipal government.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers PAC, which gave an illegal donation to Gov. Maggie Hassan's campaign in June, is registered in Washington, D.C., as are two other union PACs, the SEIU and UFCW PACs, that donated another $20,000 to Gov. Hassan in violation of state law. Democrats can take undisclosed out-of-state donations (even illegal ones!), but Republicans can't.
The left's favorite bogeyman is a pair of bogeymen, the Koch brothers (see Kathy Sullivan's column nearby). It is interesting that liberals so upset about the Koch brothers are entirely silent about left-wing billionaires, such as Tom Steyer, who fund a mix of super PACs that disclose their donors and issue advocacy groups that do not. Steyer's $20 million (so far) NextGen Climate PAC is backing Jeanne Shaheen, who held a fundraiser at Steyer's San Francisco home on the very weekend that she denounced "outside" money and challenged Scott Brown to oppose it. It has spent $42,420 (so far) to oppose Scott Brown's Senate candidacy, but we do not hear any liberals complaining about that.
By the way, Steyer is the nation's top political donor of 2014, according to the Sunlight Foundation. In fact, the top three political donors this year are liberal billionaires — not conservatives — the foundation reported in July.
The fact is that the activist left does not care a bit about where political contributions originate. The movement is happy to take money from out-of-state groups, even out-of-state billionaires. Heck, the New Hampshire Democratic Party actively encourages out-of-state residents (primarily college students) to vote in New Hampshire elections. The yelping about outside interests is just a cheap attempt to discredit Republicans and avoid talking about actual issues.

Booktopia would like to congratulate Anna Funder for winning the 2012 Miles Franklin Literary Award with All That I Am… Congratulations!
Ruth Becker, defiant and cantankerous, is living out her days in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. She has made an uneasy peace with the ghosts of her past – and a part of history that has been all but forgotten.
Another lifetime away, it's 1939 and the world is going to war. Ernst Toller, self-doubting revolutionary and poet, sits in a New York hotel room settling up the account of his life.
When Toller's story arrives on Ruth's doorstep their shared past slips under her defences, and she's right back among them – those friends who predicted the brutality of the Nazis and gave everything they had to stop them. Those who were tested – and in some cases found wanting – in the face of hatred, of art, of love, and of history. Click here to read more…

Tony Birch – Blood
From the moment he saw her, wrapped in a blanket at the hospital, Jesse knew that he'd be the one to look after his little sister, Rachel. Mum was always on the move and always bringing home trouble.
When his mum's appetite for destruction leads the little family into the arms of Ray Crow, beneath the charm and charisma, Jesse sees the brooding violence and knows that, this time, the trouble is real.
But Jesse's just a kid and even as he tries to save his sister, he makes a fatal error that exposes them to the kind of danger he has sworn to protect Rachel from. As their little world is torn to pieces, the children learn that, when you are lost and alone, the only thing you can trust is what's in your blood. Click here to read more…

The sound of horses' hooves turns hollow on the farms west of Wirri. If a man can still ride, if he hasn't totally lost the use of his legs, if he hasn't died to the part of his heart that understands such things, then he should go for a gallop. At the very least he should stand at the road by the river imagining that he's pushing a horse up the steep hill that leads to the house on the farm once known as One Tree.
Set in hardscrabble farming country and around the country show high-jumping circuit that prevailed in rural New South Wales prior to the Second World War, Foal's Bread tells the story of two generations of the Nancarrow family and their fortunes as dictated by the vicissitudes of the land.

It is 1950, the League of Nations has collapsed and the newly formed United Nations has rejected all those who worked and fought for the League. Edith Campbell Berry, who joined the League in Geneva before the war, is out of a job, her vision shattered. With her sexually unconventional, husband, Ambrose, she comes back to Australia to live in Canberra.
Edith now has ambitions to become Australia's first female ambassador, but while she waits for a Call from On High, she finds herself caught up in the planning of the national capital and the dream that it should be 'a city like no other'.
When her communist brother, Frederick, turns up out of the blue after many years of absence, she becomes concerned that he may jeopardise her chances of becoming a diplomat. It is not a safe time to be a communist in Australia or to be related to one, but she refuses to be cowed by the anti-communist sentiment sweeping the country. Click here to read more…

Favel Parrett – Past the Shallows
Harry and Miles live with their father, an abalone fisherman, on the south-east coast of Tasmania. With their mum dead, they are left to look after themselves. When Miles isn't helping out on the boat they explore the coast and Miles and his older brother, Joe, love to surf. Harry is afraid of the water.
Everyday their dad battles the unpredictable ocean to make a living. He is a hard man, a bitter drinker who harbours a devastating secret that is destroying him. Unlike Joe, Harry and Miles are too young to leave home and so are forced to live under the dark cloud of their father's mood, trying to stay as invisible as possible whenever he is home. Harry, the youngest, is the most vulnerable and it seems he bears the brunt of his father's anger. Click here to read more…

So, what do you guys think of this one? I think it's a good choice.
He has experience playing backup to an elite QB and team...
I have no idea. Maybe he's friends with Plax and they came as a package both being from MSU? Did they work out together or something?
Anyone know why the Pats cut him?
The last Pats backup, Cassell, is awful. Belichick has a history of bad QBs other than Brady. He hit the jackpot with Brady, but even going back to Cleveland, he's never had a knack for developing QBs. So this signing is a bit of a head scratcher.
Yeah the Pats cut Hoyer not because he wasn't progressing but because they invested a draft pick in Mallet. There was some upset within the Pats camp because Hoyer at the point he was cut was the better QB...certainly managed games better. Hoyer put up some really nice numbers in his two preseasons, is a good game manager and can make the throws.
I think Hoyer is a good pick up. The type of offense the Pats run is not that different than what haley is running based on quick reads and short to medium range routes. Let's face it, it's not like there are alot of great QBs waiting for a job.
I was more surprised we signed Burress over Derrick Williams given that Williams was with us all through camp. Personally I think Burress will be on zero value. he wasn't good last year when he played and I don't expect he will do anything for us. They should have just brought up the other kid from the practice squad like they did Gilreath.

Baltimore Orioles P Ryan Berry (shoulder) will have a ganglion cyst drained from his right shoulder Saturday, March 26, and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the minor league season, according to The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec. Berry was expected to start the year at Double-A Bowie. His cyst is related to the shoulder strain he suffered while pitching for Rice University. The team hopes he can resume throwing next week.

Host, Weekend Edition Sunday
Liane Hansen has been the host of NPR's award-winning Weekend Edition Sunday for more than 16 years. She brings to her position an extensive background in broadcast journalism, including work as a radio producer, reporter, and on-air host at both the local and national level. The program has covered such breaking news stories as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the capture of Saddam Hussein, the deaths of Princess Diana and John F. Kennedy, Jr., and the Columbia shuttle tragedy. In 2004, Liane was granted an exclusive interview with former weapons inspector David Kay prior to his report on the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The show also won the James Beard award for best radio program on food for a report on SPAM.
Before joining Weekend Edition Sunday in November 1989, Hansen hosted Performance Today, NPR's award-winning daily two-hour classical music and arts information program; and was a regular guest-host for NPR's newsmagazines as well as Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Hansen's association with Fresh Air goes back to 1976, when she was a production assistant and substitute host for the program. In the early 1980s, Hansen was the host of NPR's Weekend All Thing Considered. She came to NPR as a production assistant for All Things Considered in 1979 after contributing stories to "Voices in the Wind" and "Options in Education." Her career in public broadcasting began at WSKG in Binghamton, New York, where she co-hosted the daily newsmagazine For Your Information.
In 2001, Hansen received the National News and Documentary Emmy Award for "She Says/Women in News" (narrator) directed by Barbara Ricks. Hansen was also part of NPR's coverage of Sept. 11, which received the 2001 Peabody Award. She represented Marian High School with honor in Newscasting in the Massachusetts Speech Festival and Debate Tourney (1968-9).
In the mid-eighties, Hansen worked as an archivist in London, England, at the acclaimed Maybox Theatres, where other duties included babysitting Princess Margaret's coat and serving coffee to Sir Richard Attenborough.
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Hansen received the key to the city in November of 1980. She attended the University of Hartford in Connecticut, and acted with the Worcester Childrens Theater, Entr'Actors Guild, Footlights Theater Company, and the Fenwick Theater Company at Holy Cross College where she was an assistant to the director of the Theater Division. She made $26 dollars in the professional theater as April in Company at Caesars Monticello in Framingham, Massachusetts. Hansen's voice can be heard on the Emmy-Award-winning TV documentary, "Women In News," as well as the film In Their Footsteps: Lewis and Clark, and many audio books. Her current passions are figure skating, baseball, The Food Channel, tap dancing, and (someday soon) learning how to scuba dive.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some of the most cared for spectators at President Barack Obama's inauguration were the Tuskegee Airmen, America's first black military pilots.
Most of those attending Monday were in wheelchairs. And active duty members of the military gave them green army blankets and checked on them every few minutes.
The special attention was far different from how the airmen were treated in the World War II era. One of them, Homer Hogues of Dallas, says he marched with the segregated unit in the inauguration of President Harry S. Truman. Hogues says they were put up the night before in a segregated hangar with little heat while white forces were in barracks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top federal judges in 49 states are urging lawmakers to avoid another round of automatic spending cuts that would have a "devastating and long-lasting impact" on the federal courts.
It's an unusual letter from the chief judges of trial courts in every state but Nevada. It says that the $350 million reduction in the judiciary's budget for the current year has dramatically slowed court proceedings and put public safety at risk. The judges say there are fewer probation and other law enforcement officers to deal with record numbers of convicts who have been released from prison or given alternative sentences.
The letter was sent this week to congressional leaders in both parties in the House and Senate. Congress is not in session in August.
"We had to let people know that we've cut so far past the fat and so far past the muscle that we're into the bone," Chief Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan said in an interview Thursday. Preska, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, helped organize support for the letter.
A second year under the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration "will have a devastating and long-lasting impact on the administration of justice in this country," the judges said.
Spending bills that have cleared the House and Senate Appropriations Committees include modest increases in the judiciary's budget. But there is no guarantee a spending bill will win final congressional approval before the next fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
Congress will return in September to try to negotiate a long-term spending deal.

It seems that everyone is offering their opinion on the current state of the Eagles, and former wide receiver Freddie Mitchell is no exception.
FredEx talked about Donovan McNabb, Andy Reid and where the franchise is headed in an interview with Jody Mac and Harry Mayes on ESPN 950 this morning. Mitchell offered complete support for Reid, but was not so kind with his words for McNabb, which should come as no surprise.
Here are snippets of the interview:
Did he see this coming, specifically with McNabb?
"Well I mean, when you're in that environment and you see the intricacies of what's going on and the plays and stuff like that and what's not being produced, it was hard for me not to say something. ... My situation was pretty bad because I had to pick... go for what was wrong or go for what was right...T.O., a lot of people don't like him but he was totally in the right."
Did Reid coddle McNabb too much?
"There was a lot of breast milk out there."
How was McNabb viewed in the locker room when Mitchell played?
"It wasn't really a leader. ...Everyone knew what we had to do and we got it done. We were coached well."
Should the Eagles cut ties with Reid, McNabb or neither?
"Definitely not the coach. One hundred percent not the coach. ...Coach Reid is an amazing coach. He knows how to win." [Mitchell never really answered about McNabb]
On his relationship with McNabb when the two were teammates.
"It's sad that me and Donovan couldn't get along. ...I've had a lot of meetings with Donovan like 'Donovan, what am I doing wrong? How can I get better as a receiver?' and he would never ever tell me anything."
There was more from Mitchell. He repeated comments made in July that the reason he's not playing has nothing to do with his athletic ability.
"It's not rocket science. Why didn't Barry Bonds play last year? It's not his ability to hit home runs."
Whatever that means.
Mitchell said he calls T.O., Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter every week.
"Every time I talk to 'em, they're like 'there's no reason why you shouldn't be out there playing,'" Mitchell said.
And when asked about if McNabb really threw up in the Super Bowl, Mitchell simply laughed and avoided the question. It almost sounded like he was confused about what was being asked, but maybe that was just my interpretation.
So what is Mitchell up to nowadays anyway? He opened up a joint called Brothers' Barbecue in Lakeland, Fla.

Man held in fatal stabbing of mother over TV show
Man held in fatal stabbing of mother over TV show
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —
A Palm Beach County man has been charged with the murder of his mother after allegedly stabbing her over a dispute about a TV show.
Twenty-three-year-old Alan Farajian reported the death of his 62-year-old mother to police late Tuesday.
According to an affidavit, an argument over a TV show spurred the suspect to slit her throat with a steak knife, then stab her in the throat and chest at his Palm Beach Gardens home.
Police say the man told them he had stopped taking medications for psychological problems including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
He described his mother, Gloria Farajian, as "god fearing" and himself as "the devil."
He remains held without bail. It's not known if he has obtained an attorney.

I have talked about the Business Intelligence Maturity Model (see Business Intelligence Maturity Assessment), but I wanted to dig further into one area and talk about the Data Warehouse Maturity Model. The graphic below, from Wayne Eckerson, is very accurate based on my dozens of interactions with clients:
Business value increases as you move along the stages. Most clients I have seen are between the child and teenager years, with a surprising number still stuck in the infant stage.
Stage 1 – Prenatal; Structure: Management Reports; Scope: System; Executive Perception: Cost Center. This is simply canned static reports that come from the source systems (i.e ERP, CRM, etc). These reports are usually printed or emailed to a bunch of employees on a regular basis. If the end-user requests custom reports, it is up to IT to create these reports within the source system, which usually has very limited capabilities for doing so. And IT usually is backed up in filling these requests, frustrating the users.
Stage 2 – Infant; Structure: Spreadmarts; Scope: Individual; Executive Perception: Inform Executives. Those frustrated users from the previous stage (who are usually business analysts or power users) take matters into their own hands and circumvent IT by extracting data from the source systems and loading it into spreadsheets or desktop databases. These are like personal, isolated data marts that don't align with any other data marts. Because spreadsheets are easy and quick to create, they spread like weeds. I have seem some companies with thousands of these spreadsheets. They prevent companies from having accurate and consistent reports, but they are very difficult to eliminate as you can imagine.
Stage 3 – Child; Structure: Data Marts; Scope: Department; Executive Perception: Empower Knowledge Workers. This stage is when departments see the need to give all business users timely data, not just the business analysts and executives. A data mart is a shared database that usually includes one subject area (finance, sales, etc) that is tailored to meet the needs of one department (see Data Warehouse vs Data Mart). From the data mart an SSAS cube may be built, and the business user will be given the use of a reporting tool to go against the cube or data mart. Many times the data mart is in a star schema format. But data marts fall prey to the same problems that afflict spreadmarts: each data mart has its own definitions and rules and extracts data directly from source systems. These independent data marts are great at supporting local needs, but their data can't be aggregated to support cross-departmental analysis.
Stage 4 – Teenager; Structure: Data Warehouses; Scope: Division; Executive Perception: Monitor Business Processes. Data warehouses are a way to integrate data marts without jeopardizing local autonomy. After a company builds a bunch of data marts, they recognize the need to standardize definitions, rules, and dimensions to prevent integration problems later on. The most common way to standardize data marts is to create a centralized data warehouse with dependent data marts built from the data warehouse. This is usually called a hub-and-spoke data warehouse. A data warehouse encourages deeper levels of analysis because users can now submit queries across multiple subject areas, such as finance and operations, and gain new insights not possible with single-subject data marts.
Stage 5 – Adult; Structure: Enterprise DW; Scope: Enterprise; Executive Perception: Drive the Business. Just like the problem of having overlapping and inconsistent data caused by spreadmarts and multiple independent data marts, a large company can have a similar problem with multiple data warehouses. Many organizations today have multiple data warehouses acquired through internal development, mergers or acquisitions, creating barriers to the free flow of information within and between business groups and the processes they manage. The solution is to create an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) that will be the single version of the truth. This EDW serves as an integration machine that continuously consolidates all other analytic structures into itself.
Stage 6 – Sage; Structure: BI Services; Scope: Inter-Enterprise; Executive Perception: Drive the Market. At this stage you are extending and integrating the value of a EDW by opening the EDW to customers and suppliers to drive new market opportunities. Customers and suppliers are provided simple yet powerful interactive reporting tools to compare and benchmark their activity and performance to other groups across a multitude of dimensions. At the same time, EDW development teams are turning analytical data and BI functionality into Web services that developers — both internal and external to the organization — can leverage with proper authorization. The advent of BI services turns the EDW and its applications into a market-wide utility that can be readily embedded into any application.
I would probably add a stage 7 dealing with SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) data mining. SSAS features nine different data mining algorithms that looks for specific types of patterns in trends in order to make predictions about your data.
Whether you already exhibit the characteristics of a sage or you're still trying to hurdle the gulf between the infant and child stages, this maturity model can provide guidance and perspective as you continue your journey. The model can show you where you are, how far you've come and where you need to go. It provides guideposts to help keep you sane and calm amidst the chaos and strife we contend with each day.

Beckham PSG talk hots up
Paris Saint Germain appear to have won the race for David Beckham, with the club confirming a 4pm press conference amid talk of a deal being strick.
Beckham, 37, is a free agent after the expiry of his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy and has been training with Arsenal to maintain his fitness.
Thursday's edition of Le Parisien quoted an advisor close to the player confirming PSG were a potential option but said no decision had yet been taken. However, both the BBC and Sky Sports News have since reported that Beckham was en route to Paris to undergo a medical.
PSG have cancelled coach Carlo Ancelotti's lunchtime press conference and have rescheduled for 4pm UK time, with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Leonardo now due to attend.
Reports from beIN SPORT, the sports news outlet based in Qatar, the homeland of PSG's owners, stated that Beckham's plane landed in Paris at 10am on Thursday, and he is undergoing a medical at a hospital in the French capital with a view to signing a short-term deal until the end of the season.
Ancelotti and Leonardo previously worked with Beckham when he spent time with Italian giants AC Milan on loan.

Seldom does a team go the final 6 minutes, 47 seconds of action in a close basketball game and score two points and still win, but when your defense is as strong as Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, who needs offense?
Seldom does a team go the final 6 minutes, 47 seconds of action in a close basketball game and score two points and still win, but when your defense is as strong as Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, who needs offense?
The Chiefs did just enough on offense and continued their string of solid defensive performances with a 44-40 win over Deltona in the semifinals of the 40th Kingdom of the Sun boys basketball tournament Sunday night at Vanguard High School.
With the win, Cardinal Gibbons (13-2) advances to the championship game on Monday night at 7:30 against Tampa Berkeley Prep, which beat Cincinnati LaSalle in the other semifinal.
Deltona, meanwhile, saw its nine-game winning streak snapped and it falls into the third-place game at 6 p.m. against LaSalle.
Melvin Brooks clinched things for Cardinal Gibbons with a pair of free throws with 1.9 seconds left after the Wolves had a pair of chances to make things interesting.
The Chiefs left the door wide open for Deltona, as they missed their first six free throws of the fourth quarter and saw an 11-point edge in the fourth quarter nearly evaporate.
Deltona (12-4) got as close as 42-40 with 31.3 seconds on a driving layup by Torrey Mayo.
From there, Cardinal Gibbons turned the ball over in the backcourt with 27 seconds on the clock.
Mayo had a chance to tie the game, as he got into the lane and put up a floater, which bounced off with 15.8 seconds remaining.
Richard McIntosh grabbed the miss by Mayo and was fouled, but kept things open for the Wolves as he missed the front end of a one-and-one.
The Wolves got the miss and pushed the ball into the frontcort and went for the win, but the Chiefs did a nice job of closing out on a 3-pointer by Evan Hinson that bounced off the backboard and out-of-bounds to Cardinal Gibbons with 2.9 seconds remaining.
Brooks (10 points, seven rebounds) then clinched things for the Chiefs, who led by 16 points with 4:30 left in the third quarter.
Stefan Duvivier and Greg Kacprzak also scored 10 points for Cardinal Gibbons, which led by 13 after a quarter of play and by 10 at halftime.
Jerome Monroe led Deltona with 13 points.
Monroe added five rebounds and two blocks, while Mayo scored eight. Chad Brown, a UCF commit, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked three shots for the Wolves.
Cardinal Gibbons, though, held Deltona to 16-of-40 shooting and held a 29-24 rebounding edge.
In three tournament games, the Chiefs have allowed their opponents to make just 47-of-133 shots and allowed 126 points.
Paced by Brooks and McIntosh (seven rebounds), Cardinal Gibbons has outrebounded its three opponents by 25.
After the Chiefs made 7-of-12 shots during the third quarter, they missed their final six shots and didn't convert a field goal after a layup by McIntosh at the 6:47 mark of the fourth.
TAMPA BERKELEY PREP 39, CINCINNATI LASALLE 37: N'Namdi Green's blocked with 2.7 seconds left helped the Bucs (12-0) hold off the Lancers (6-1) in the tournament semifinals.
After Jeremy Larkin missed from inside the right elbow, but Tim Bell grabbed the rebound in the paint.
Green, though, got a piece of the shot and grabbed the rebound.
From there, he missed a pair of free throws, which gave the Lancers one last shot.
Larkin got the ball just past halfcourt, but his 3-pointer was short as time expired.
Berkeley Prep, the top ranked team in Class 4A, held the Lancers to 2-of-23 shooting in the second half and scoreless during the third quarter.
The Bucs didn't allow a point for a span of 11:09, which encompassed time from late in the second quarter until early in the fourth quarter.
Justin Gray, a Texas Tech signee, was big for the Bucs, as he finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.
Green added seven rebounds and two blocks for Berkeley Prep, who survived three turnovers and three missed foul shots over the final 1:51.
The Bucs rallied from a 10-point first half deficit and a five-point halftime hole to rally past the Lancers.
Berkeley Prep only scored six points in the third, but did just enough to get past LaSalle.
Gray's basket with 5:31 snapped a 29-all tie and started a 5-0 spurt that gave Berkeley Prep just enough room.
Larkin led LaSalle with 10 points.
With the win, Berkeley Prep advances to the tournament finals for the first time since 2007. The Bucs lost that season on a buzzer-beater by Trae Golden against McEachern (Ga.).
It will also give head coach Bobby Reinhart the chance to accomplish a tournament title as a coach and a player.
In 1982, playing for his father's Decatur (Ga.) High team, Reinhart helped the Dogs get past Vanguard in the Kingdom finals
The Lancers, meanwhile, lost in the tournament semifinals for the second straight year.

Psychotropic NationTuesday, December 18, 2012
Yep, Mr. Moore refers to the psychotropic establishment as a bunch of criminals. Even Michael Moore can be right on occasion. Let us not forget Eli Lilly and its cover-up of its Prozac and that drug's very strong link to violent and suicidal behaviour. From an old Forbes article:
Lilly was strong at the time Taurel took over. It had been riding Prozac since 1987, with profits peaking at $3 billion in 2000. Then, in 2001, two years before anticipated, generic-drug manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals wrested Lilly's Prozac patent away. Lilly lost 90% of its Prozac prescriptions over a year and $35 billion of its market value in a single day. The stock still trades 30% below its Prozac high. Lilly's profits dropped 9% between 2001 and 2003, to $2.5 billion.
For years now, the alternative media (including me) has been covering the sick travesty of America as the world's leader in psychotropic pill popping. Depressed? Write a prescription. Welcome to America, a zombie milquetoast nation.
As as I have reported before, even pets aren't immune to our cultural ills. They are becoming zombies, too.

New York Islanders fans plan to protest 'inept' team
Fans of the New York Islanders want their voices heard.
Led by the Isles Nation blog, a group of fans upset with the way the team is being run are planning a protest for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. In particular, they aren't happy with owner Charles Wang and general manager Garth Snow.
"We are protesting the inept Isles organization and management, led by owner Charles Wang and GM Garth Snow," Isles Nation blogger Pete Truszkowski said in a post.
"We are protesting the lack of progress of Garth Snow's rebuild that has dragged out for way too long. We are protesting the lack of accountability surrounding this organization. We are protesting the constant salary of this team being at or near the NHL mandated cap floor."
The Islanders, 25-33-9 and dead last in the Eastern Conference, antagonized fans with a pair of bizarre trades this season.
In late October, Snow traded three-time 30-goal scorer Matt Moulson and two draft picks, including a first-rounder this summer, to the Sabres for sniper Thomas Vanek. The Isles then sent Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens for a prospect and a second-round pick just before the trade deadline.
"If you're anything like me, you love this team to no end," Truszkowski wrote.
"You love the logo, you love the guys wearing the jersey, and you love what the New York Islanders are. However, especially as of late, you just cannot stand Isles management and the overall fraud this organization has become."
