Resto shammy looking for advice
I am coming to a resto shammy with a warrior background. I know melee and tanking but casting and healing are very new to me. I find I am loving my shammy and love to heal. I think knowledge from the instances I tanked have helped me in healing them. I am still learning a lot and looking for advice from all you experienced resto shammies out there. Healbot is great. Healing with lag is not great. I am seriously considering making my shammy my main toon and am open to any helpful advice out there.
He does have an elemental off spec.

Have u tried using the blizz frames with Clique? it's pretty much the same thing but you set up the click combinations on your own. I use that with the 'use raid style party frames' and i turn on 'class colored bars', and some other options it has under raid frames to mke the frames really nice.
There's really no need for unit frame addons anymore, other than maybe for player and target and focus (maybe one to hide the player frame since it's included in the raid style frames).
All i ever experienced from heal bot the mny times i tried it was annoyance, lag and people dieing due to it not updating their bars fast enough.
Clique and the blizz frames are the same functionality done right.
The default Blizzard frames are not configurable enough for many people. The minimum size is way too big, you can't configure specific buffs or debuffs you want to see, and all buffs and debuffs are shown as tiny icons that are hard to see. If they work for you, that's great, but they don't work for everyone.
That said, for some general advice from someone whose main was a resto shaman for about 5 years (enhancement for the last few months):
1. Filter out anything and everything that doesn't directly affect your gameplay choices. The only things my healing raid frames show are missing health, incoming heals, Earth Shield cast by anyone, Riptide cast by me only, a single generic indication for any/all significant HoTs, aggro, dispellable debuffs, and a very small number of individual boss debuffs. That's it. Having information on your screen that doesn't directly affect you just makes it harder to notice the information that does affect you. If it's just "neat to know about", get rid of it.
2. Disable Recount or whatever other combat meter addon you use. Healing meters are worthless, and paying attention to them will make you a worse healer, not a better one. If you are keeping people alive, managing your mana, dispelling debuffs, keeping buff totems down, and not standing in fire out of fire, you are a good healer. The actual amount of healing you're doing is not important as long as nobody is dying.
3. Learn to heal proactively, rather than reactively. If people are dying because you're not casting heals until your raid frames show them at 20% health, the problem is in your playstyle, not your raid frames. If someone gets aggro, start casting a heal on them. If someone gets the boss's DoT, start casting a heal on them. If you're healing the tank, start casting a heal even if he hasn't taken any damage yet, because he's going to get hit.
4. Try other raid frame addons. Healbot is not the only thing out there. I've used Grid for almost 5 years now, and have never had it "lag" or delay updating anyone's health bar; when its original author quit WoW, I took over as the addon's maintainer. If Grid doesn't do it for you, there are numerous other addons out there. VuhDo, PerfectRaid, PitBull4, Shadowed Unit Frames, and many others are either dedicated raid frame addons, or general unit frame addons that can do raid frames.
4b. Most addons don't include built-in click-casting. If you like click-casting, get Clique and get used to using it. It works for all addons, not just one, and even works with the default Blizzard unit frames.

I went into a raid with the ingame raid panels showing and it was a total disaster. For some reason they would not let me click through them. And there was no transparency to them that I could see or find in a hurry to fix. I had to say wait a minute, stop and disable then and restart healbot. I may have just been missing something never having had a need to use raid frames on a tank or a melee toon.
One of the things I find very unique to playing a shammy healer is with the cast times of the heals. I do a lot of randoms right now and the first pulls are and adjustment to see how the tank, gear-wise and skill-wise, takes damage and holds aggro. Every run like that is a different experience and each dungeon holds its own special challenges learning experiences. Yesterday I learned I would much rather heal HOR than POS. Were I to go in on a different toon and tank it would be the other way around.
As a non employable physically handicapped person one of the things I love most about this game is the way it keeps my mind agile and active.

Healing is an adventure. I like VuhDo for heals - it seems to have served me well and I never have had any problem with lag.
I have tanked with all of the classes, and I kinda have it down so I know what to do. As a healer, I have found:
1. Good players playing tanks are easy to heal - doesn't matter which class they are. They know what they are doing, they hold agro and have enough gear to tank (doesn't mean necessarily elite gear, just the right stats and spec)
2. Pally's - As long as they are Prot, in my experience it doesn't matter if they are good players or not. As long as they have righteous fury turned on and they consecrate you are good. They only downside with bad players that play pally's is they won't know how to manage mana, so there will be big downtime between fights
3. Bad players (besides Pally's) - this is just a crap shoot. If you are uber geared you "may" be able to keep everyone alive. Be prepared for the tank to lose agro, be the wrong spec, have the wrong enchants/gems/gear. Be prepared (in randoms) to be blamed for the inevitable wipe. Be prepared for the DPS classes to pull agro like crazy. Your best bet is to get the DPS arguing with the Tank and stay neutral. Worst case they both blame you. Don't get trapped into the argument - it can be frustrating to try and tell them how to play, offer advice, etc. As I know how to tank all of the classes I have often fell into the trap of trying to provide guidance to DPS or Tanks, and that has not had good results. I even once got kicked from a group for suggesting the Pally turn on Righteous Fury and wield his shield. Yep, kicked.
Sorry for the rant, but, just wanted to tell you what to expect, and to tell you for the most part wipes won't be your fault.

Complementary medicine, of which chiropractic is one, differs from conventional medicine in that it is non-invasive and heals both the emotional and psychological wellbeing of the patient, aiming to treat the cause of an illness instead of just offering a temporary pain relief solution.
Reduce Medical Bills By Keeping Consistently Well
Today more than ever, people are looking at ways to avoid surgery, and chiropractic is a manipulative non-surgical technique which is used to correct the alignment of the spinal column. Avoiding surgery is good for the body and it also saves you from having to fork out a small fortune on surgery and after-care. A recent 7-year study published on Dynamic Chiropractic shows that people who visit chiropractors as primary care physicians have far less hospital and pharmacy visits.
Dr. Lee of Riverside Family Chiropractic offers more suggestions on how to stay healthy in his recent blog post. He suggests staying hydrated, eating healthy meals with plenty of vegetables and getting regular adjustments as ways to stay at your best and avoid costly medical bills.
Finding the Origin of the Ailment
Chiropractors treat all disorders associated with the nerves, bones and joints as well as muscles of the body. They evaluate each patient and look for the underlying cause of the pain and discomfort. Poor posture and an accident can cause spinal problems which lead to misalignment and also strain on the vertebral column which is known as sublaxations. They result in local pain, swelling as well as muscle spasms. Many people testify to the safety and the effectiveness of chiropractic in bringing about relief from excruciating pain.
Emphasis is on a Correct Diagnosis
The beauty of chiropractic care is that you don't even need a referral to begin with it. If you are feeling depressed, you have pain, you can't sleep, why don't you arrange a private consultation and tell the chiropractor about your symptoms? When you consider that chiropractic is effective for treating disorders such as strains, backache, headache, insomnia, swelling and fatigue, it is not surprising that more and more people are using chiropractors for not only spinal health but also as a general family doctor. They are finding that they have a simultaneous improvement in mood, relaxed muscles and joints and that their physical and emotional wellbeing leads to greater self-esteem.

Deutsche Bank launches new corporate citizenship programme…
Deutsche Bank launched today its new UK corporate citizenship programme, Born to Be, which is committed to tackling the critical issue of youth unemployment. The Bank aims to reach over 160,000 young people in the UK through Born to Be over the next four years.
The programme is led by a new partnership with Sported, the sporting legacy foundation of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which combines sport with education to engage young people who are at risk of exclusion.
Born to Be
- Aims to prevent youth unemployment by targeting 11-18 year olds at risk
- Plans to reach over 160,000 young people in the UK, in co-operation with project partners, over the next four years
- Led by a partnership with Sported, the sport for development foundation established by Sir Keith Mills with Lord Seb Coe as patron
- Provides support to 33 community sports clubs working with at-risk youths in London
The Born to Be programme will also support a number of other non-profit organisations across a range of fields, such as The Globe Education and the Design Museum, that are working to break the cycle of youth unemployment through early intervention.
One in seven 16-24 year olds in the UK is not in employment, education or training (NEET), a situation that will cost the UK economy £28 bn over the next 10 years, according to the ACEVO Commission on Youth Unemployment.
Colin Grassie, Deutsche Bank UK Chief Executive Officer, said Born to Be would target 11-18 year olds at risk of becoming NEET via education-led projects aimed at increasing educational achievement, developing employability skills and raising aspirations.
"Helping young people fulfil their potential and find who they were Born to Be is now at the heart of our corporate citizenship strategy," Mr Grassie said. "Youth unemployment pushes young people to the margins of society. We want to provide support at an earlier stage when there is a much greater chance of helping young people find their path."
A core project of the Sported partnership will be sporteducate, a programme that will provide grants, training and management support to 33 community sports clubs in targeted areas across London. The grants will enable clubs to run education activities alongside their core sports programmes for young people aged 11-18.
Deutsche Bank employees will be integral to the success of sporteducate by volunteering as coaches, mentors and club supporters, and also acting as business mentors to ensure the clubs are financially sustainable and able to develop and grow. Deutsche Bank has a strong volunteering culture with more than 2,000 of the bank's UK employees – one in four – volunteering.
Sir Keith Mills, founder of Sported, said: "We've seen tremendous results from using sport to inspire young people from difficult backgrounds and we're delighted to be working with Deutsche Bank as our first corporate partner to help even more young people transform their lives". Lord Seb Coe, patron of Sported, added: "This is the most significant investment by a corporate organisation in sport for development since London 2012."

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Nov. 18, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the settlement of a case with a day-labor company that charged illegal check-cashing fees. The company, Construction Staffing Services, operates in the downtown Phoenix area, using a roving shuttle to offer temporary employment to homeless people and others in the vicinity.
When workers were paid, the company charged a mandatory check-cashing fee of $1 and change per paycheck. For example, if the worker earned $42.75 for that day, the deduction would be $1.75. The fee violates Arizona law, which prohibits the owner or operator of a labor pool from charging a day laborer for cashing a check issued by the labor pool.
Additionally, the written agreement between CSS and its employer clients restricted the clients from hiring a CSS employee for the first 90 days of an employee's assignment, which essentially prohibited day laborers from accepting permanent positions.
"Arizona workers are the winners in this settlement," Goddard said. "Day laborers rely on daily jobs to feed their families and taking advantage of these workers will not be tolerated. My Office will continue to aggressively enforce this statute."
Pursuant to the settlement, CSS is prohibited from:
- Charging a fee for cashing employee checks, either directly or indirectly.
- Restricting the right of a day laborer to accept a permanent position with a client employer.
- Charging any fee that brings an employee's gross pay below the State and Federal minimum wage.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, please contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office by visiting the Web site at www.azag.gov and filing an online complaint. Or you can call the Office at 602.542.5763 in Phoenix; 520.628.6504 in Tucson, or 1.800.352.8431 outside the metro areas. If you would like to file a complaint in person, the Attorney General's Office has 16 satellite offices throughout the state with volunteers available to help. Please visit the Web site for locations and hours of operation.

In recent times, I've been thinking quite a lot about security on Internet. And I mean my personal security on Internet. There has been some recent examples of leaked passwords on some common websites (LinkedIn, I am talking about you!), and I get the impression that the way I was handling passwords on the past was no longer good enough. Luckily, I never had problems, but I thought that I needed review my habits and to take it more seriously.
As with everything that is new, when I open my first email account (about 15 years ago) and register in the very first web pages, my security concerns weren't really that much important. I started with a relatively (for the time) strong password with more than 6 characters, upper and lower caps + numbers that I can remember easily. Back in the day that was strong enough. I then started to use it everywhere. I'll call it "password A" from now on.
After some time, I realised that it wasn't really that good of a strategy, so I got another coupe of stronger passwords, and use them on "sensible" places, like my email, which is the most important point on the chain, or later Facebook.
So, some time ago, I started to think more and more about this, and started being more conscious to password security and the challenges it present. I am going to describe what are my views about passwords and my strategy about them. I am not a security expert, and I think there are a lot of wrong assumptions and myths around passwords. That's why I want to be open about that, and try to make a "call for review" to share tips and see if I am doing something wrong and see other ways. So, please, add whatever you feel is interesting.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Eight vehicles were swallowed by a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Wednesday morning.
The sinkhole is estimated to be around 40 feet wide and 20-30 feet deep.
Officials with the Corvette Museum tell WKYT all but two vehicles have been removed from the Skydome. They can't be removed, because they're too close to the hole.
WKU made a drone camera they're using to look inside.
The museum will re-open Thursday. The Skydome, however, will be closed until further notice.
They say they're still waiting for the insurance company for damage estimates. However, they say some of the cars are priceless, and putting a monetary amount will be difficult, maybe even impossible.
They're also unsure if the cars are repairable.
The museum sent out the following release, detailing this morning's incident:
"We received a call at 5:44am from our security company alerting us of our motion detectors going off in our Skydome area of the Museum. Upon arrival it was discovered that a sinkhole had collapsed within the Museum. No one was in or around the Museum at the time. The Bowling Green Fire Department arrived on the scene and secured the area.
It is with heavy hearts that we report that eight Corvettes were affected by this incident. Those cars include:
· 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
· 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" on loan from General Motors
The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:
· 1962 Black Corvette
· 1984 PPG Pace Car
· 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
· 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
· 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
· 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
None of the cars affected were on loan from individuals. We have contacted a structural engineer who is arriving today to assess the existing damage and stability of the surrounding areas. While the Skydome area is closed, the remainder of the Museum is still open.
This year we celebrate our 20th Anniversary and look forward to re-opening the Skydome exhibit area very soon."

Previous post: Implementing inter-entity rules
Create rules
These rules either originate from a decomposed inter-entity rule or they were invented on their own. Again you have two choices of implementing them: using database triggers or incorporating in your api's. And again it's a matter of whether you are willing to lose performance or not. You'll probably want to be consistent throughout all business rule implementations. Stick with a database trigger approach or with an api approach. On the plus side for database triggers this time, some create rules can be validated using a before statement insert trigger instead of for each row. This means you won't have to pay a performance penalty for the occasional rule like "You may not create a project assignment when the OUT_OF_BUDGET system variable is set." Although most create rules require querying some related record and will suffer the row-by-row processing performance penalty. When using an api approach, you'll again code all create rules to be able to handle a set of records for maximum performance.
Attribute transition rules
This is a category where it is actually convenient to use a database trigger. It's because of the easy access to the :old and :new values in a row level trigger. The example "Allowed transitions for civil state of an employee are Unmarried -> Married -> Divorced -> Married." can be implemented like this:
rwijk@ORA11G> create table employees
2 ( name varchar2(10) primary key
3 , civil_state varchar2(1) check (civil_state in ('U','M','D'))
4 )
5 /
Table created.
rwijk@ORA11G> insert into employees
2 select 'ALAN', 'U' from dual union all
3 select 'BOB', 'M' from dual union all
4 select 'CLARK', 'D' from dual
5 /
3 rows created.
rwijk@ORA11G> create trigger employees_bru
2 before update of civil_state on employees for each row
3 begin
4 if :old.civil_state || :new.civil_state not in ('UM','MD','DM')
5 then
6 raise_application_error(-20000,'Illegal transition of civil state');
7 end if;
8 end;
9 /
Trigger created.
rwijk@ORA11G> update employees
2 set civil_state = 'D'
3 where name = 'BOB'
4 /
1 row updated.
rwijk@ORA11G> update employees
2 set civil_state = 'U'
3 where name = 'BOB'
4 /
update employees
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Illegal transition of civil state
ORA-06512: at "RWIJK.EMPLOYEES_BRU", line 4
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'RWIJK.EMPLOYEES_BRU'
Using the api approach you will have api-procedures for "getting_married" or "getting_a_divorce" where the check will be in the where clause. An error message can then be raised when 0 rows are updated (if sql%rowcount = 0 then raise_application_error...).
Transferable relationship rules
This one is easy using an api approach: don't offer an api-procedure that transfers a relationship. Using a database trigger approach is also quite simple: "if updating('<fk-column>') then raise_application_error(...); end if;"
Other update rules, modify rules and other delete rules
The same holds true for these rules as described in the section "Create rules".
Relationship rules
Relationship rules were also mentioned as a static data constraint, and now they appear again as a dynamic data constraint. Strictly speaking it is right to split them into two categories, although it is a little fancy. The dynamic relationship rules are implemented by the keywords ON DELETE CASCADE and ON DELETE SET NULL in the foreign key constraint and by the foreign key constraint itself. The example "If a department that still has employees is deleted, give an error" is what happens if you define a regular foreign key constraint. The ON DELETE CASCADE will automatically delete child records when the master is deleted, instead of erroring out. And the ON DELETE SET NULL will automatically orphan child records when the master is deleted.

|SeniorNet & H.R.C. Foundation Bring Free Computer Access & Education to Low-Income Seniors, Jan 2008
SeniorNet, the H.R.C. Foundation and the New Orleans Central City Economic Opportunity Corporation Senior Center Announce Scholarship-Based Computer Learning Center to Hold their Grand Opening on January 25th
SANTA CLARA, CA – January 24, 2008 – SeniorNet, the world's leading nonprofit technology educator of older adults, in partnership with the H.R.C. Foundation and the New Orleans Central City Economic Opportunity Corporation (EOC) Senior Center, today announces it will open a new SeniorNet Computer Learning Center on January 25th to bring free computer access and education to low-income seniors in the New Orleans metro area. The opening of this scholarship-based SeniorNet Learning Center is part of a three-year grant from the H.R.C. Foundation to bridge the 'Digital Divide' by bringing the life-changing benefits of computer access and education to low-income seniors across the nation.
The Grand Opening event and Open House will take place on January 25th, 2008 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Central City EOC Senior Center, at 2101 Philip Street, New Orleans, LA 70113. Press and members of the community are invited to attend.
The H.R.C. Foundation is a private family foundation that funds programs for low-income children and families as well as older adults.
"We were very pleased to award SeniorNet with a grant to bring free computer access and education to low-income seniors in underserved communities throughout the country," said Mary Leonard, consultant, H.R.C. Foundation. "When we opened the scholarship-based Learning Center at Emmaus Services for the Aging in Washington, D.C., we witnessed firsthand how computer education and online access can change an older adult's life for the better. We're especially thrilled to provide this service to older adults in the New Orleans Community."
Funded through the New Orleans Council on Aging, Mayor of the City of New Orleans through the Office of Recovery and Development Administration, Central City EOC Senior Center exists to serve the needs of the elderly who reside within the Central City Community and provides centralized supportive services to help seniors maintain independence, dignity, and an acceptable quality of life.
"Central City EOC Senior Center offers a wide array of free programs and services to older adults 60 and over, however our computer lab had become so outdated that it was barely usable," said Tresa J. Morgan, Center Supervisor, Central City EOC Senior Center. "We are extremely grateful to SeniorNet and the H.R.C. Foundation for this grant that provided state-of-the art computers, proven curriculum designed specifically for seniors, and a professional 'train the trainers' program for our volunteer instructors; it has completely revitalized our Computer Training program and will enable us to train the hundreds of seniors we currently serve, on computer technology and the Internet."
"For 22 years, SeniorNet has empowered older adults with computer access and education, however in this digital economy, low-income older adults are still being left behind," said Kristin Fabos, SeniorNet Executive Director. "SeniorNet is extremely grateful to the H.R.C. Foundation for this grant and is proud to work with Central City EOC Senior Center to contribute such an essential service to the continued rebuilding of the New Orleans community."
The scholarship-based computer lab at New Orleans, Central City EOC Senior Center is the second of three such computer centers that SeniorNet will open, as part of a three-year H.R.C. Foundation grant.

Blue Jays place Lind on DL, call up Francisco
CLEVELAND -- The Blue Jays placed designated hitter Adam Lind on the 15-day disabled list after Friday night's 3-2 win over the Indians because of a sore lower back.
Lind suffered the injury on Tuesday night in Minnesota and was originally considered day to day. The hope was that the Blue Jays could buy some time for Lind's injury to heal, but it became apparent as the week progressed that this wasn't going to be a short-term issue.
The Blue Jays simply couldn't afford to wait any longer because they're already using a three-man bench, and being short another player would have meant serious repercussions for everyone on the 25-man roster. As a result, Toronto purchased the contract of infielder Juan Francisco to provide some additional depth.
"He's making progress, but we need that bat in the lineup to fill that spot," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Our bench is short enough as it is, plus with him being out, it's really short, and Major League club, you have to have all of your options."
Lind will travel to the club's Minor League complex in Dunedin, Fla., on Saturday morning. He'll receive treatment there and eventually start resuming baseball activities. Since injuring his back, he has been limited to throwing catch and very casually shagging fly balls.
Toronto will now turn to Francisco to help fill the void. Francisco likely will receive some time at DH, first base and potentially even third if Brett Lawrie needs a day off at some point within the next week and a half.
The 26-year-old Francisco comes with some Major League experience already under his belt. He hit 18 homers last season with the Braves and Brewers and is a career .243 hitter in 298 games. Francisco signed a Minor League contract with Toronto one week into the season and now has an opportunity to make an impact at the next level.
"He's a good hitter, he has some pop," Gibbons said. "Played a little third, first base, that way it will give us a chance to give [Edwin Encarnacion] a little break over there too. Plus he's playing good down there."
Francisco hit .349 with a .429 on-base percentage and a 1.010 OPS in 11 games for Buffalo. He had two home runs, five extra-base hits and 11 RBIs in just 43 at-bats.

Dehydration is self sabotage! Yeah I know that's a strong statement to make, but it's very true. Let me explain…
Sometimes when it comes to health, the simple things are THE most profound! I have been dealing with some issue around energy and strength levels for many weeks. I tried everything to fix this, but to no avail.
The problems I have been having in the gym with muscle soreness and lack of strength seemed intractable. I don't wish to use age as an excuse because that becomes self defeating, but the idea seeps into your mind that maybe this is just age related decline.
What I didn't realize was that I was "chronically" dehydrated, and once I started drinking more water throughout the day, things began to change for the better. Hydration is one of those things we pay lip service to but often don't take as seriously as we should.
I am as guilty of this as anyone! Part of the problem is that when we don't understand the reasons for doing certain things, we don't attach as much importance to them. This was certainly the case with my hydration issues.
I do pay attention to it when I am out in the heat, but when I am home, (and I have access to whatever beverages I want) I tend to forget that I need to be drinking water on an ongoing basis. Just having access to water is not enough…you actually have to drink it!
As my understanding of the electrical nature of the body increases, I begin to connect the dots and realize not just that proper hydration is important, but also WHY it's important! Getting enough water is critical to your health, and here is why.
We are electrical beings, that depend on having the right balance of electrical energy for our organs and tissues to function properly. Let's call this "cell capacitance." In order for electrical energy to flow smoothly through the body we need to have enough water.
Water and minerals in our bodies conduct electricity. The minerals involved in this are called "electrolytes." These electrolytes require water to function properly and efficiently conduct electrical energy throughout your body.
Cells communicate with each other via the watery medium of the body. When we are lacking in water, our body cells can't communicate properly and the body can't work as it should. The nervous system especially needs water to function properly.
This is more of an issue during the summer months because of the heat, but you can also be dehydrated in the winter. You tend not to be as thirsty in winter, and thus can become dehydrated without knowing it.
My suggestion is to keep water that is the ideal temperature for drinking with you at all times. Sip it throughout the day, and make sure it's not too cold, because you can drink and absorb more water if it is not uncomfortably cold to drink.
How much water should you drink? I'm not convinced there is an absolute rule on this. When you are properly hydrated, your urine should be pretty much clear and not have a yellow color to it.
But I would also say you should gauge it by how you feel. When you are well hydrated you should feel energetic and relaxed. Avoid drinking so much water at one time that you feel bloated. A little at a time is best.
I like bottled water because tap water is often contaminated with chemicals and even prescription drugs. This is something you want to avoid if possible. Chlorine and fluoride are toxins that are not healthy. Avoid them if you possibly can.
There are products that you can add to water that contain nutrients and flavorings. If this is what it takes to get you to drink more water than that's fine. There is one product that I have tried and really liked. I wrote about it in another newsletter, but I will mention it again.
The product is called "Nuun Optimal Hydration" tablets. These are effervescent tablets added to 16 ounces of water to make a flavored hydrating drink. These tablets contain the necessary electrolytes to replace those that are lost when you sweat.
Here is the link:
I recommend it because I have used it and it seems to work well for me. There is no affiliate program so I don't get a commission for doing so, but I do like to share what I find that works well.
Remember that water has a "ph" level and should be slightly alkaline. PH stand for potential hydrogen. When you drink water you are putting more electrons into your body. This is a good thing, because once again… your body is electrical by nature.
Water is used by the body for so many critical biochemical and electrochemical processes that you can't afford to be dehydrated. So keep this in mind and make sure you drink enough clean pure water during the course of your day.
So…remember that water is liquid energy. I consider good hydration to be one of the keys to "performance enhancement." By keeping yourself hydrated you will be at your physical and mental best. It really IS that simple!
Read the article at this link for more information:
I recently ran into one of my readers who was visiting colleges in the area with her daughter trying to help her decide which university she will be attending next year. She asked me to write about the cholesterol test that measures particle size.
When it comes to having your cholesterol tested, here are the two tests that are the most valuable:
This test is called "LP(a)" or Vertical Auto Profile (VAP) test. This test breaks down your LDL and tells you if it is made up of mostly small, dangerous particles, or the larger, less dangerous ones.
It also indicates how much Lp(a) is circulating in your bloodstream. The test also analyzes your HDL cholesterol subtypes, and tells you if you have more of the HDL2 subtype, which is the beneficial form of HDL.
You can find out more about this test at: http://www.atherotech.com
The LPP test also called the Lipoprotein Particle Profile also breaks down cholesterol into its sub fraction particles, but can also measure something called (RLP) or "remnant lipoprotein," which is a dangerous particle that is not measured by other types of cholesterol tests.
You can find out more at: http://www.sprectracell.com
Either of these tests is a vast improvement over the older cholesterol tests and will really zero in on your actual risk. Remember it's not the cholesterol numbers that matter, but the actual particle size and type, and the level of inflammation in your blood stream.
An integrative cardiologist will help you reduce your risk of heart disease without the use of drugs that have dangerous side effects.
Whatever your health issues, music is something that will bring positive energy to you. There is so much great stuff out there to be discovered around the world and so it is with the Metripole Orchestra in Amsterdam Holland, under the direction of Vince Mendoza!
This orchestra is a Dutch national treasure and you will see why in this wonderful clip!
Vince Mendoza worked with Joni Mitchell on two cds "Travelogue" and "Both Sides Now." If you are a Joni Mitchell fan or just love great music, you owe it to yourself to check out these wonderful cds.
This newsletter is read by people all over the world, so if you have something that you would like me to share such as music from your country or culture with the other readers, please let me know.

Guide to New Nations: Namibia and Eritrea
by David Johnson
| Namibia
Namibia received its independence on March 21, 1990, from neighboring South Africa, which had administered Namibia after receiving a United Nations mandate to do so in 1920. A republic, Namibia has sought to diversify its economy since achieving independence. However, the country remains heavily dependent on mining exports and agriculture. The world's fifth largest uranium producer, Namibia also contains substantial diamond deposits.
| Eritrea
Following one of the longest wars in history, which included struggling against the Italian colonialists and later Ethiopia, Eritrea formally declared its independence May 24, 1993. In a referendum held earlier that year, 98% of the Eritrean electorate voted for independence. Eritrean guerrillas had helped victorious Ethiopian rebels overthrow dictator Haile Mariam Mengistu in 1991. In gratitude for Eritrean support, Ethiopia's new president, Meles Zenawi, approved Eritrean independence.
The new nation began facing its enormous problems. There were 750,000 war refugees, and some 2.7 million people dependent on outside food aid. The government began improving agricultural production and rebuilding its industrial base.

Occupy Los Angeles demonstrators have been camping on the lawns around city hall since Oct. 1, and according to some city officials that's long enough.
But protestors, who have remained peaceful during the four weeks of their demonstrations, have said they won't be going anymore.
"Have we made our point? Yes, we've changed the public debate, but has the issue of corporation and corporate power and corporate personhood been addressed by the Congress or the Senate? No, it hasn't," said Mario Britto, member of Occupy L.A.'s general assembly who spoke on behalf of the protestors.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he would like an exit strategy, but Britto would rather he join the assembly.
The mayor "should have the conviction of his comments and meet with (us)," Britto said.
Other officials, including Senator Dianne Feinstein, have commented that members of the movement have articulated their right to free speech, but they cannot occupy these public spaces forever.
"Our issues have been given lip service, and we'll be here until our issues are actually addressed in a realistic and real fashion," Britto said.
Critics of the movement have noted the multitude of messages among the crowd of protestors, but Britto said that's the beauty of their movement.
"It's a microcosm of this country," he said. "There are different people with different points of view, but we all stand on one issue, that the economic inequalities in this country have to be addressed. We all stand on the issue of economic justice."
Economics, including overtime for police and landscaping, have played a significant role in the arguments made by city officials who would like to see the campers pack up. Britto said the group has policed and governed itself well, and if new sod must be put in, protestors will volunteer to do it themselves.

Tech Update
Leveler Helps Fabricator Meet Tight Flatness Specs
"We used to cringe when a customer required really flat parts," says Joe Arceneaux, manufacturing engineering manager at the Greensboro, NC plant of O'Neal Manufacturing Services (OMS). Specifically, Arceneaux describes a recent contract requiring flat parts (3 by 7 ft.) laser-cut from 10-mm high-strength low-alloy steel (65-ksi minimum yield), with an 0.07-in. flatness tolerance over the entire length.
"This tough material has a lot of inherent stress in it to start with," says Arceneaux, "so even if it is as flat as the mill can make it, there will be distortion from stress relief during laser cutting."
Using a gantry flattening press when prototyping the job, it took the plant an unacceptable 15 to 60 min. to flatten each part, often requiring hits from both sides. To the rescue came an Arku (Cincinnati, OH) FlatMaster 88 parts leveler, delivered early in 2013. The FlatMaster uses servo-hydraulics to set and maintain the leveling gap, and adjust forces to compensate for parts with cutouts, perforations or odd shapes. It can process parts from 2 to 23 mm thick, to 2 m wide.
Says Arceneaux: "We installed the machine inline with our laser outfeed, where it's also accessible to the press brake. After a few days of training for our lead operator, we were ready to run. In a few seconds, one pass through the FlatMaster brings the part into spec and relieves inherent stress. As we look ahead at new business opportunities, we see the leveler as a competitive advantage for us. It is a real game-changer to have this capability inhouse, because flat parts, fully stress relieved, als improve downstream processes and quality."Arku: 513/985-0500; www.arku.com

enough is a collection of essays by Patrick Rhone on the idea of having enough. He compares it to the dynamic process of balancing on a tightrope, where you have to find your own centre of balance and you'll always need some kind of help – stretching your arms, using a bar or an umbrella, and so on. In addition to reflections on minimalism and limiting life to make it comprehensible, he includes thoughts on technology, tools, behavioural change, and other life tips.
There are many books in this field, from John C. Bogle's book with the same main title (Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life, affiliate link), to Leo Babauta's The Power of Less: The Fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essential…in Business and in Life, affiliate link). Patrick Rhone's book isn't particularly packed with mind-boggling or life-changing insights, but it might still be an enjoyable read for a quiet, reflective afternoon, particularly if you also have a technology-related background or find yourself occasionally tempted down the path of more apps! more tools! more gadgets! (Not that I know anyone like that, no….)

text: This is a hilariously deluded video from Glenn Beck, claiming that God has tasked him to fix everything in the world, including reforming the media and the educational system, protecting Israel, and even find new sources of energy for the world. And he's just overwhelmed by it all, but he knows God will lead him. This is downright cult-like behavior.

Frederick Douglass was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. His master was the captain of the ship that took goods from Wye House plantation to Baltimore. Wye House was the home of the master of the entire Wye Plantation. When Douglass escaped, he headed north from Maryland. When he got as far as New York, antislavery advocates there sent him to New Bedford, Massachusetts, which had a thriving black community with plenty of jobs. Douglass moved a number of times in his life and traveled both within and outside of the U.S. to give antislavery speeches. He made his final home in Washington, DC
Questions for Map 2
1) Locate Wye House. Wye House was on the Eastern Shore of what body of water that separated the plantation from Baltimore? Why do you think the master would send crops to Baltimore?
2) Locate New Bedford. What very large body of water is New Bedford near? What does that suggest about the city's economy?
3) Locate Washington, DC. How close is it to the Eastern Shore and Baltimore? Why do you think Douglass would have chosen to live in Washington, DC?

Medal of Honor Executive Producer Greg Goodrich made the announcement this morning via the game's blog, with a brief but heartfelt message detailing the reason behind the concession. The full message reads:
In the past few months, we have received feedback from all over the world regarding the multiplayer portion of Medal of Honor. We've received notes from gamers, active military, and friends and family of servicemen and women currently deployed overseas. The majority of this feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. For this, the Medal of Honor team is deeply appreciative.Last week, EA surprised when it announced it would be opening a PC multiplayer open beta for Medal of Honor on October 4 -- a week before the final game ships. The motive behind the move now appears clear: the company wants to show off its Taliban-free product.
However, we have also received feedback from friends and families of fallen soldiers who have expressed concern over the inclusion of the Taliban in the multiplayer portion of our game. This is a very important voice to the Medal of Honor team. This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about. Because of this, and because the heartbeat of Medal of Honor has always resided in the reverence for American and Allied soldiers, we have decided to rename the opposing team in Medal of Honor multiplayer from Taliban to Opposing Force.
While this change should not directly affect gamers, as it does not fundamentally alter the gameplay, we are making this change for the men and women serving in the military and for the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice -- this franchise will never willfully disrespect, intentionally or otherwise, your memory and service.
To all who serve -- we appreciate you, we thank you, and we do not take you for granted. And to the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines currently serving overseas, stay safe and come home soon.
Medal of Honor is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs. The game is set to ship on October 12.
Sharkey says: What's in a name? We'll find out soon. The game will be exactly the same as it was, only with Taliban changed to OppFor. In other words, absolutely nothing will really change. Will this be enough for all those that attacked the game? It doesn't seem logical that it would, but most of the attacks on the game weren't logical to begin with. What's your take? Did EA make the right move?

I know there is not a glowing plethora of starters out their still waving their hands in the air asking for the Yankees to pick them for a school yard game, but Bartolo Colon?
But there have been 38-year old men who have come into the MLB and done pretty good for themselves, but they are usually lifer minor leaguer that the big club want to give them a cup of java with the big boys before shipping them off to their next career.
I seriously thought Colon was out of ball possibly helping former Rays top pick Dewon Brazelton tach young Dizzy DEan player how to pitch.
I guess iy could have been worse. I guess the Yankees know what they are doing. I guess this one will be a glaring question mark the size of the Empire State building until at least……Well, all season long.
Rays Renegade
What in the world is going on?!?! When's the last time he really pitched?
Jane Heller
I'd be happy to take Andy's $12 million if he doesn't want it! LOL. Seriously, how long does it take to make up his mind? I'd written him off as retiring, but now he's making noises that he might come back? It's annoying. I was enjoying Cashman's candor for awhile, but I'd rather he spend his time getting us a real pitcher instead of appearing at breakfasts and bartending at charity events.
I had the same reaction you did, Scott, regarding Colon. We found him to be a colossal dud when he pitched for our Sox. I don't know what prompted that signing at all. But y'all can have him! 😉
I do wonder if Mark Prior will rediscover the Fountain of Youth (and Health). I wonder how much worse he'd really be than Mitre or Nova. But what do I know? (I do like your "Meat Tray" nickname!) 😉
Cashman sounds like he can't wait to become a "free agent", himself. I wonder if that is REALLY true, or if it is simply appearances/ sound bytes.
Take care, Scott!

Arrest in attempted Starbucks poisoning
(04-30) 20:19 PDT SAN JOSE -- A trained chemist put a "lethal quantity" of rubbing alcohol in orange juice bottles that she tried to sneak into a display case at a Starbucks coffee shop in San Jose, police said Tuesday.
Ramineh Behbehanian, 50, was being held without bail at Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and poisoning.
According to her Linkedin profile, she has a master's degree in physical chemistry and chemical engineering from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and works at a pharmaceutical subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
The profile said Behbehanian had more than 15 years of experience in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic and medical device industries and had expertise in "drug delivery and controlled release technologies," among other things.
Behbehanian walked into the coffee shop on the 6000 block of Snell Avenue about 3:45 p.m. Monday and was seen by a customer swapping two plastic bottles of Evolution Fresh orange juice from the refrigerated display case with two bottles she was carrying in a Starbucks bag, said police Sgt. Jason Dwyer and a company official.
"Apparently she was trying to appear as a customer," Dwyer said. Carrying a Starbucks bag, he added, "tells me that she had planned this out. A Starbucks bag inside of a Starbucks shop is not going to stand out."
After placing the bottles on the shelf, Behbehanian got into line as if she was going to get coffee, police said. When the "heads-up" customer brought her actions to employees' attention, however, she fled, Dwyer said.
Workers examined the bottles and noticed a "toxic smell to them," Dwyer said.
San Jose firefighters who responded determined the bottles contained a mixture of orange juice and isopropyl alcohol, or rubbing alcohol, police said.
"According to the fire captain on scene, the quantity of rubbing alcohol inside the bottles was a lethal quantity," Dwyer said.
No one drank the juice, authorities said.
Officers tracked down Behbehanian at 8:30 p.m. at her home several miles away on Chambertin Drive in San Jose with the help of a Starbucks employee who had jotted down her license plate number.
Police said they believe Behbehanian acted alone but that her motive was unclear. Investigators do not believe she tried to plant poisoned products in other coffee shops, Dwyer said.
The store, located across the street from Santa Teresa High School, closed for the day and destroyed all the juices on the shelf "out of an abundance of caution," said Starbucks spokesman Zack Hutson. Other Starbucks shops in San Jose were told to check their bottles for signs of tampering, he said.
Hutson said the company was "immensely grateful to the vigilant customer who did the right thing."
Behbehanian has no criminal history, Dwyer said. She lives alone and keeps to herself, said a neighbor who not want her name used because she feared retribution.

Army Pvt. Danny Chen.
An officer reviewing charges against eight soldiers in connection with the death of a Chinese-American Army private, who apparently took his life after being hazed and abused, has recommended dropping the most serious charge -- involuntary manslaughter.
The investigating officer recommended that seven soldiers be court-martialed on multiple charges in connection with the death of Pvt. Danny Chen, 19, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Oct. 3 in Afghanistan, the Army said Tuesday. The Article 32 hearings, which determine if there is enough evidence for a court-martial, are being held at Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan.
The most recent four infantrymen to go through those hearings had been facing charges that included involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide, thought to be the first time such charges have been brought in this type of case, according to experts on hazing and on the military legal system.
But involuntary manslaughter was not among the charges recommended against Staff Sgt. Andrew VanBockel, Sgts. Jeffrey Hurst and Adam Holcomb and Spc. Thomas Curtis -- mirroring the outcome of the first Article 32 hearing for Spc. Ryan Offutt, which ended on Jan. 22.
"If the investigating officer determines that there was not sufficient evidence to support the elements of the charge, then the investigating officer may recommend not moving forward with that charge," said Sgt. 1st Class Alan G. Davis, an Army spokesman.
The maximum punishment for involuntary manslaughter is 10 years in prison and a dishonorable discharge; for negligent homicide it three years imprisonment and a dishonorable discharge.
The commander of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, will consider the investigating officer's recommendations in determining whether to forward the charges to the Combined Joint Task Force-82 Commander for final disposition, Davis said.
A lawyer and former member of the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps has previously noted that the officer's recommendations were simply that -- a recommendation -- that could be accepted or ignored.

Pvt. Danny Chen, left, with his mother, Su Zhen Chen, at his graduation from basic training.
Chen was found dead at a guard tower with his rifle lying next to him at Combat Outpost Palace in the Panjwa'i district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan.
Almost immediately after he arrived in mid-August, Chen, the only Chinese-American in his platoon, was required to do exercises that crossed over to alleged abuse, according to investigators from the Regional Command-South, said Elizabeth OuYang, New York branch president of OCA, a national civil rights organization serving Asian Pacific Americans.
Some of it was inflicted by one soldier and some by a group, according to OuYang, who was briefed on the investigation. Investigators also found evidence that the platoon sergeant and the platoon leader -- the top two officers in the unit -- were aware of an attack on Chen on Sept. 27 and chose not to report it, OuYang said.
The family and Chinese-American community have asked that Chen's comrades face the involuntary manslaughter charges and want the courts-martial to be held in the United States, citing the need for access, transparency and accountability. OuYang said they were disappointed with the officer not recommending the involuntary manslaughter charge.
"We have not been able to see any of the evidence in these eight pre-trials," she said. "We don't know why we're in the dark ... as to why the involuntary manslaughter charges was dropped. That's why it's imperative that we must have access to the court-martials so we can see the evidence in this case."
The investigating officer has recommended the following charges be forwarded to court-martial:
-- For VanBockel: two counts of violation of a general regulation; three counts of dereliction of duty; two counts of maltreatment; one count of negligent homicide; and one count of reckless endangerment.
-- For Hurst: two counts violation of a general regulation; two counts of dereliction of duty; one count of maltreatment; one count of negligent homicide; and one count of reckless endangerment.
-- For Holcomb: three counts of violation of a general regulation; two counts of dereliction of duty; two counts of maltreatment; one count of assault; one count of negligent homicide; one count of reckless endangerment; and one count of communicating a threat.
-- For Curtis: two counts of violation of a general regulation; one count of dereliction of duty; six counts of maltreatment; four counts of assault; one count of negligent homicide; and one count of reckless endangerment.
-- For Lt. Daniel Schwartz, 25, of Maryland: eight counts of dereliction of duty.
-- For Offutt: two counts of violation of a lawful general regulation; four counts of maltreatment; one count of manslaughter; three counts of assault consummated by battery; one count of negligent homicide; and one count of reckless endangerment.
The investigating officer has yet to issue a court-martial recommendation for Sgt. Travis Carden, 25, of Fowler, Ind. His hearing is scheduled for April 4-5 at Kandahar Air Field, the Army said. The charges against him are: two counts of violation of a lawful general regulation; two counts of maltreatment; one count of assault; and one count of reckless endangerment.
The Article 32 for the remaining soldier, Staff Sgt. Blaine Dugas, 35, of Texas, began Feb. 19 and is ongoing. He is charged with one count of violation of a lawful general order; two counts of dereliction of duty; and one count of mking a false official statement.

Theological questions

Hi Ted, I just finished reading your book for an independent study I'm doing as a senior M.Div at Luther Seminary in Minnesota. My goal for this project is to develop an approach to pop culture which is faithful to the Lutheran perspective, but I have a few clarifying questions about your book. If you'd be interested in having some conversation about the topic, I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail address is gpowell001 [at] luthersem.edu Peace, Gwen
Thanks for your Kingdom service.

Ted, I thoroughly enjoyed & greatly benefited from the Sunday School class you taught at Redeemer over the last few months using your Popologetics material. I am applying the steps you gave (i.e., 5 questions) for engaging popular culture in an evangelistic situation I'm currently involved with. I've taken a person's last 20 (or so) Facebook & Instagram posts & applied your questions to better evaluate their situation, where the idol lies, & how the gospel applies. I've found it very useful! I share all this to say - Don't sell short all the ways your approach & questions can serve, for while it clearly enables people to think about & engage others when it comes to popular culture, it has a direct & powerful path to better evangelizing others - a point you make, but I feel can be made even louder & more pointedly, as others share the help your approach provides & the difference it makes. Keep up the good work brother! (BTW, if you are interested in seeing the rough notes I've made regarding the evangelistic situation, I'd be glad to share them with you, though I wouldn't want them published for obvious reasons.)

The Hostess bankruptcy liquidation, the result of a bungled negotiation between the company, its equity sponsors, its striking workers, and the labor union, over what has been defined as unsustainable benefits and pension benefits, is rapidly becoming a Ding Ding farce. The latest news in what promises to be an epic Chapter 22 fight is that the judge, pressured by various impaired stakeholders, among which none other than the US trustee, is that the bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain, who has previously presided over such Chapter 11 cases as Loral, RCN, Cornerstone, Refco, Allegiance Telecom, Delphi, Coudert Brothers, Frontier Airlines and Star Tribune, has ordered the company and its unions to seek private mediation to attempt averting what the company has already said is an inevitable unwind of operations.
Per Reuters, "Hostess, its lenders and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) agreed to mediation at the urging of Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain of the Southern District of New York, who advised against a more expensive, public hearing regarding the company's liquidation. "My desire to do this is prompted primarily by the potential loss of over 18,000 jobs as well as my belief that there is a possibility to resolve this matter," Drain said." Sadly, this latest step will almost certainly lead to nothing constructive as it merely extends a status quo which already proved to be unresolvable.
What makes a mediation improbable is that the antagonism between the feuding sides has certainly hit a level of no return:
Several unions also objected to the company's plans, saying they made "a mockery" of laws protecting collective bargaining agreements in bankruptcy. The Teamsters, which represents 7,900 Hostess workers, said the company's plan would improperly cut the ability of remaining workers to use sick days and vacation.
In the off chance that mediation does lead to a reconstruction of the failed company it may ironically benefit from the closeout sale of its products as confused Americans hoarded Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos in hopes of selling them on Ebay as collectible items with huge marks up, something we warned previously will fail. Regardless, the firesale will lead to a surge of cash in the company's coffers, which will then lead to a scramble over how it is divided.
Then comes the question of whether or not someone steps up in the liquidation process and buys the company in part or whole. Here we learn that Grupo Bimbo, long expected to be the natural suitor for at least the firm's trademarks and IP, will not participate in said process. Hostess CEO Rayburn said Grupo Bimbo won't be a potential buyer for the bankrupt baker. "One misconception in the market is that Bimbo would be a buyer and bakery leadership told us in several plants that Bimbo would come in and buy, which is absurd," Rayburn said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. Rayburn cited Bimbo's agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to sell some Sara Lee brands in order to complete its acquisition of Sara Lee's North American bakery business. "Due to antitrust, it would never happen," Rayburn said.
More to the point, and as we predicted on Friday, if there is an outright purchase of the company, it will be a standalone entity, without its unions: Hostess will draw strategic buyers and private-equity investors for its brands, Rayburn said, without naming potential bidders. The company is "more attractive" to buyers without the unions, he said. In other words, if the Union had hoped that their workers would be retained by the purchasing entity, their dreams just got shattered.
But while the Union may be sad, it is about to add another emotion to its arsenal: blind fury. Because it is here that things get truly surreal. As the US Trustee, a Justice Department official responsible for protecting creditors, disclosed, as part of the wind down of Hostess, wants to pay as much as $1.75 million in incentive bonuses to 19 senior managers during the liquidation.
This is just part of the millions to be spent imminently on the wind down:
The process requires "intensive" planning, staffing and funding, the company said. A fire-sale liquidation would damage equipment and result in improper disposal of waste materials.
It's "not a simple matter of turning off the lights and shutting the doors," Hostess said in court papers.
The baker estimated that shutting the plants will cost $17.6 million in the next three months. The plants have about $29 million worth of excess product ingredients, Hostess said.
About $6.9 million will be spent to close depots, while $8.8 million will be used to idle retail stores and $8.1 million will go to shutting corporate offices, according to a court filing. Perishable baked goods at retail stores will be sold at going-out-of-business sales, donated to charity or destroyed, Hostess said.
Most importantly, however, is the question how one explains to 18,500 workers who are already out and looking for jobs that the management team which was just as responsible for crushing the company deserves on average $92,000 each in "incentive bonuses, is anyone's guess and one does wonder what safety precautions said management team may have taken to protect from what is certain to be the collective wrath of its former workforce.
Naturally, the immediate outcome of this rather obscene demand, which may fly in a Chapter 11 KERP proposal but hardly is tenable in a liquidation proceeding, is that said US Trustee is now seeking to take control of the liquidation away from the company. As BBG reported earlier, "U.S. Trustee Tracy Hope Davis asked the judge to convert the case to a Chapter 7 from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, based partly on the company's intent to pay bonuses, and appoint a trustee to supervise the wind-down."
But wait, it gets better: because it is quite likely that should an emboldened US Trustee get her wishes granted, will push to continue operating Hostess as a going concern, potentially with a court appointed, and US Trustee selected management team.
In essence this could result in a stealth nationalization of the junk food maker, which would preserve the jobs of the workers for the time being, but crush the balance of the capital structure, i.e., secured and unsecured creditors.
Impossible, you say? It has happened, to a big extent, before. Recall a certain bankruptcy case of one General Motors, where the claims of creditors were primed by those of the labor unions.
Granted, such a perversion of the bankruptcy process would be historic, but in a country in which everyone is to blame for everything, and in which property rights are becoming a very nebulous concept, we would certainly not be surprised if the US government ends up "bailing out" Hostess by a mandatory flipping the capital structure, over the cries of the company's creditors, further pushing the country into the twilight Banana zone.
