Uruguay's ex-president Vazquez says he'd run again
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay's former President Tabare Vazquez says he's ready to run again.
The 73-year-old oncologist invited leaders of the governing, left-leaning Broad Front coalition to his home Wednesday night to tell them what they had been hoping to hear — that he's available as a candidate to succeed President Jose Mujica in next year's election.
"He told us, 'I want to tell you that if the Broad Front asks, I'll agree to be a candidate,'" legislator Julio Bango, who attended the meeting, told The Associated Press.
"He told us that he had thought about it a lot and that he had consulted with this family, and that this was a difficult decision. It was a very emotional moment," Bango said.
Vazquez himself wasn't talking much Thursday. Staying mum about his plans has been part of his political strategy.
But Mujica quickly praised his fellow Broad Front member on TV and radio, calling Vazquez a wise and trusted leader for the country, which bars consecutive presidential terms but allows presidents to run again after being out of office.
Vazquez represents "security, stability, no crazy passions, adventures or playing the lottery," Mujica said. "He knows he'll have to sacrifice his tranquility, but the political forces and his comrades believe they need him."
While Vazquez opposed legalized abortion when he was president in 2005-10, he has said he would not try to overturn the current government's measures that legalized it. He also says he would support marijuana legalization, which passed the House of Deputies last week and is expected to easily win approval in the Senate.
The Broad Front won't formally settle on a candidate for the October 2014 election until its primary next June. But Vazquez appears to be a heavy favorite, with 81 percent support among coalition voters, according to a poll last month by the Equipos Mori firm.
Mujica had 80 percent support, while his vice president, Daniel Astori, had 61 percent.
The Broad Front leads other parties and coalitions with 43 percent of the electorate, compared to 25 percent for the centrist National Party, 14 percent for the rightist Colorado Party and 2 percent for the center-left Independent Party, the poll said. The nationwide poll of 1,000 likely voters had an error margin of plus or minus three percentage points.

Karachi: Pakistan's senior batsman and former captain Shoaib Malik has said maverick all-rounder Shahid Afridi is the best person to replace Misbah-ul-Haq as skipper for next year's World Cup.
Malik, 32, said that if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wanted to change the captain of the national one-day team it should do it immediately.
"I don't know what the board has in mind but if they are thinking about changing the captaincy they should do it now because there is little time left before the World Cup," Malik said.
Malik, who had a successful run in the recent Caribbean Premier League, also felt that if there was to be a change in captaincy than Shahid Afridi was the best person to replace Misbah-ul-Haq at the moment.
"Afridi is a senior player and aggressive by nature and I think if the board decides to replace Misbah than Afridi is the best person to lead the side in the World Cup.
He is strong willed and can lead by example in the mega event." Asked if he would consider leading the team if given an opportunity, Malik said he had no intentions of doing so immediately.
"Even if the board offers me the captaincy than I will only do it after the World Cup 2015 and then try to groom a new team. Because it is a fact that after the World Cup some of our senior players will fade away," he said.
"I don't think this is the right time for me to be captain and right now honestly speaking my focus is only on winning back my place in the national side again."
Malik, who led Pakistan after the 2007 World Cup until 2009, also made it clear that the board needed to take quick decisions keeping in mind the interest of the team.
"This team is neither that of the board or any other individual, it belongs to and represents the people of Pakistan and those decisions should be taken which are in the interest of the team and country," Malik added.
Malik, who has played 32 Tests and 216 one-day internationals, also felt that presently the Pakistan team was lacking firepower in bowling.
Referring to the recent statement by Misbah that he missed Saeed Ajmal in the second one-day international against Sri Lanka, Malik said he could understand what Misbah was trying to say.
"Apart from Saeed we don't have bowlers who can take quick wickets and change a game in the last few overs. We need to build on our bowling firepower," he stated.

Physician assisted suicide is becoming a bit more popular in America. A New Mexico judge recently ruled that terminally ill, mentally competent patients have the right to ask a physician to end their lives. This would make New Mexico the fifth state to make it legal.
My first wife progressively died for twelve years. Multiple sclerosis took her from a vibrant active person to a total invalid unable to do anything but talk. She was a prisoner inside of a body incapable of functioning to any degree whatsoever. On New Year's Eve three years before she died she begged me to call Dr. Kevorkian, who became famous for assisting 130 people in their deaths. She later tried suicide and once begged me to put her in our closed garage and start the car. She did not want to die and leave her family but living trapped inside of a body ravaged by disease was excruciating for her.
I know how I personally feel. Should I get to the point where I am without hope of ever enjoying this momentary world I would like to simply go on over to the other side to be with my Lord.
There are some problems herein. Life should always be our priority. My heart screams out, "No to any assisted suicide." We need to put our priorities on finding new cures for disease and enabling people to live to ripe old ages so that one day while watching Andy Griffith we just sort of nod off and wake up in a better place. Our society's priority must never focus on how we can more readily help our sick and aged die faster but how we can heal and help life to be more enjoyable. However, life cannot be very enjoyable if we are imprisoned in a body that will not function.
Physician assisted suicide is also legal in Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont. Terminally ill patients in these states can now have their doctors prescribe a fatal prescription. Patients must make the request. Keep in mind this is illegal in most of our country. Also, in many cases persons get beyond the point of making such a decision and linger often in vegetative states. This is where a living will comes into play so that life support can be removed and Hospice can assist.
I will be redundant. I don't like the idea of ending anybody's life. About a month before my wife died our doctor called me off into a corner and said, "Glenn, there comes a time. She has struggled with this for so long. We have done all we can do. My response was, " I want you to help her live." "Okay, we will do all we can, " he assured. They did try and she lived about another month. I will always be glad for that one more month as we talked about things I would otherwise have missed.
The end of life is a tough conversation for anybody facing it regardless of which side of the bed you are sitting.
The bible says there is a time to die. Having someone we love voluntarily make that decision about ending his or her life just doesn't seem like that is what the bible is talking about. However, keep in mind that God is bigger, more loving and far more forgiving than we are.

This is an interesting set for a number of reasons. It is quite old. I dated it using the backstamp, which evolved over time as Terras became more famous as a photographer. There is a photo of the Duchess of Balfour with the same backstamp dated 1874, so these are from the same period. This is a mum and her very chunky little son. I am fascinated by the magazine he is carrying - the front says "Good From Evil" and the back has ads that also date from this period. The outfit on the little guy is outrageous. I love platinographs because they are so clear even after so many years - no sepia toning, no degradation like you would likely see in most gelatin silver photos. More than that there is an incredible depth and reality to the photos of this type. Terras was from Fife, and had his studio there for many years. He specialized in platinographs up until the turn of the century when the cost of platinum started to go up and push this method out of existence until it resurged in the art world about 30 years ago. These are CDVs.

That will not be enough to get Upton. The way I understand it, the D-Backs want a big-league, affordable, reliable, front-end starting pitcher for OF Justin Upton, who is due roughly $35 million over the next three years. They are not interested in a group of mediocre prospects who may or may not pan out. Plus, if they did, I assume other teams could put together better packages than that...
Niese is due $24 million over the next four years, after which he makes significantly more in 2017 and 2018, but each of those two seasons have a $500,000 buyout. It's a good deal. I was told last summer that a deal for Upton would need start with Niese. I have no idea if these two teams will discuss a deal like this in a month or two. If they do, I'm not yet sure I'd even pull the trigger. But, as I've said before, the Mets know they're in desperate need of real, proven talent in their outfield, with not much available to them in their own farm system. There are solid free agents available after next season, such as Adam Jones, but there is no guarantee they get to the open market. At the same time, as good as Niese has been, the Mets have Matt Harvey and a promising crop of young starting pitchers knocking on Citi Field's door. If the Mets sign Dickey to an extension, they need to least consider something like swapping Niese for a new, legitimate bat for the outfield, because I don't know how else they get one.
Niese has a very team-friendly contract. And, considering the Mets would likely seek a Major League position player in return for Niese, it seems like this could be a starting point for a deal. If it all breaks right, yeah the Mets will have excess on paper in their rotation. But, we've been saying that for years with this club ... and, I think there are a lot of question marks as far as the rotation is concerned; including Johan Santana's ability to contribute effectively, how R.A. Dickey might bounce back after an amazing year, when Zack Wheeler will arrive, and how Matt Harvey will pitch out of the gate? Besides, I don't think a team can ever have enough starting pitching.
I know, the Mets have to part with good players to make trades, but filling a hole while creating another doesn't necessarily make them better - it just changes the location of the hole. Besides, it's hard to find young, quality left-handed starting pitchers who are under control in team-friendly contracts, such as Niese. I believe Niese is part of a solid and exciting foundation built around young, hard throwing starting pitchers. And trading part of that foundation would be foolish – even if it can be considered 'excess.'

Fit for Leadership
This month's contributor to Pump Up With Club Industry is Teri O'Brien of Teri O'Brien Fitness Systems Inc. She is a fitness and motivation expert and author of "The Personal Trainer's Handbook" and the upcoming "Principles of Personal Training: 88 Essential Rules of Excellence." Here, she discusses her own routine and tips for keeping yourself motivated.
One of the questions I'm most frequently asked when I train personal trainers is "How can I motivate clients?" In speeches to other groups, it's "How can I stay motivated?"
In my experience, people who aren't motivated to exercise and eat a nutritious diet haven't identified meaningful, personal reasons that they should do so. In order to do anything, especially something we may not always enjoy, we need to be able to answer one important question: "What's the point?"
People say they don't have time, but the fact is that once people have identified their personal reasons for wanting to do something-whether it's watching TV, drinking beer or exercising-they make the time to do it. Having a purpose changes perception, and successful people know that perception is everything!
The good news for time-challenged adults is that the immeasurable payoffs that exercise and good nutrition bring (increased energy and productivity, avoiding creeping obesity, and longer, healthier life) don't require two hours a day in the gym. Two to three hours a week is more like it.
Of course, once they discover the empowering feeling of being a living, breathing athlete-which, whether we know it or not, we all are!-many find that they want to do more. People tend to notice that they may have begun their exercise programs thinking about things like looking buff or at least being able to button up their pants, but after a few weeks, they look forward to the exercise session itself and the relaxed, satisfied feeling they get right afterward.
My personal routine involves lifting weights three to four days a week, and doing 40 to 50 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, usually on a treadmill, three to five days a week. I like to mix up the cardio routines by doing long, moderate intensity workouts, such as walking 3.0 mph at a 10 percent incline for 48 minutes one day, and doing intervals of running (5.5 mph) for two minutes and walking for two minutes to up the intensity.
Of course, when I say I "like" doing anything involving cardio, it's a stretch. I used to have a feature on my old radio program called "Cardio Haters' Support Group," and it was for me! I guess in my erstwhile running days, when I ran five marathons and dozens of 10 k's, I ran all my steps. Resistance training and yoga are my favorites now. I do some yoga postures every day for at least five minutes to keep my posture and flexibility in line.
I'd like to close by reminding people that the process of becoming successful is about being able to sustain your confidence, commitment and vision during those inevitable times when few others can see the bright future ahead for you. John Grisham's first novel got rejected 28 times before he published anything. I'm sure that when he was practicing law all day and coming home at night to write-all while trying to raise young children and otherwise have a life-he did some serious visualizations, especially after another rejection arrived.
Successful people are often simply the last ones standing, the ones who refused to give up. You'll be one, too. I know it!
Now drop and give me 20.

Despite all the gizmos we're packing onto today's commercial on-highway trucks - roll stability control, air disc brakes, etc. - the fact remains that driver error is still the leading cause of car-truck crashes on our roads. And that means ALL drivers - truckers as well as four wheeler, with errors on the part of four wheelers still accounting for over half the reasons cars and trucks get involved in crashes.
That's why the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), in partnership with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), is going to keep expanding its Operation Safe Driver campaign. It's aimed at getting to root causes of driver errors, which, as we all know, involve speeding and aggressive driving behaviors. Both of those are "errors" in the broad sense of the word, though drivers have a significant amount of control they can exercise over them.
"The statistics tell the tale: nearly nine out of 10 crashes between cars and trucks are attributed to the driver, with 56% of those attributed to the passenger car driver," said FMCSA Administrator John Hill in a press statement about the new effort. "Programs like Operation Safe Driver will help all drivers realize how their decisions behind the wheel affect safety."
With approximately 43,000 people dying on U.S. highways each year - with 5,000 of those fatalities involving large trucks - something's got to be done. And what I like about this program is that it finally addresses the CAR driver's role in these deadly crashes, rather than just hammer on the truck driver alone. Again, the FMCSA's own crash analysis shows that 56% of crashes involving a large truck and a passenger vehicle are attributed to the passenger vehicle driver, with the remaining 44% (obviously) the fault of the truck driver.
"CVSA wants to make clear that driving defensively and in a cooperative manner makes for safer highways for all drivers and passengers on the road," said CVSA Executive Director Stephen F. Campbell said. "This program part of a larger law enforcement effort and focus to reduce fatalities on the most dangerous, high crash corridors in North America."
Now, this doesn't mean trucking gets to turn a blind eye to the problems festering on its side of the ledger. Look at the statistics the most recent statistics Operation Safe Driver collected between October 21 and 28 this year - and effort involving nearly 3,700 law enforcement personnel and more than 1,500 localities in 31 states and five Canadian provinces.
Out of 20,523 Commercial Motor vehicle (CMV) Driver/Credential Inspections, 2,090 (10.2%) resulted in the driver being placed out of service. Some 30 carriers (or 34% of the total reviews) receiving a Conditional Safety Rating - not good, as the national average of carriers rated "Conditional" is 25%. Another 10 carriers (or 11% of the total reviews) receiving an Unsatisfactory Safety Rating - again, not good, as the national average of carriers rated "Unsatisfactory" is 6%
But then look at these two sets of statistics. Out of 16,636 CMV Driver Traffic Enforcement Contacts, 4,229 resulted in moving violations, or 0.25 violations per contact. Then, out of 6,698 Non-CMV Driver Traffic Enforcement Contacts (that's a long-winded way of saying "car drivers") resulted in 4,860 moving violations - or 0.73 violations per contact, almost TRIPLE the rate of truckers. That's pretty telling, I think.
Here's another series: out of 22,181 CMV Driver License checks and 6,205 Non-CMV Driver License checks, the program cited 53.8% of truckers for speeding, which rose to 68.2% for car drivers. Only 0.4% of the truckers got tickets for reckless driving, whereas that climbed to 3% of car drivers. Only 0.8% of truckers were cited for improper passing, which rose to 1.7% for car drivers.
But there are also plenty of areas where truckers need to improve. Failure to obey traffic lights and signs is one: 14.7% of those 22,181 truckers got cited for that; only 3.6% of car drivers did. Following too closely was a problem for 5.7% of truckers and 5% for car drivers - that's something both groups need to work on. Some 3.2% of truckers were cited for improper lane changes; only 2% of car drivers were.
One thing's for certain - the focus is going to be on drivers of ALL vehicles from here on out when it comes to highway safety improvement efforts. And that all-inclusive approach is definitely a good thing.

The Logic of Consequence: A Metaphysical(?)Approach
Firstly, you'll probably avoid reading this, I realise how scary all this text seems. I 'unno, save it for when you're bored?
It's simplified english, as I've made it. So if you feel it's too complicated for you to comphrehend just because of it's language, it shouldn't be a concern.
If this religiously offends you, my apologies.
This was initially a discussion me and a friend had regarding the dilemma of a murder and it's consequences. This is what I concluded and (sort of) documented.
To understand my theory it is very important that you know what the term life defines.
Life as I see it, is the will to exist individually, to grow and reproduce. The word 'will' here is used very literally. It is cruel to it's meaning that you understand what this means.
-Does the human life carry any essential value?
We all know we do matter, as an entity. But it is very important to understand why and what conditions needs to be satisfied in order for us to carry any significance.
For instance:
For the sake of argument, a man who spends his own life in solitary confinement and dies, (practically speaking) never mattered at all. No one had to shed tears, and even though materialisticly his absence would've been noticed, that was where it ended. "If a tree fell in the woods and non one heard it, did it make a sound?" That concept is being applied here.
On the contrary, if that man leads a normal life and meets people, interacts and relates to them, his death would now matter. His death would create new emotions and influence everyone he has known just as his life did.
From this we can conclude that life has no 'essential' value. An individual within itself carries no influence without another entity it could influence, which happens to be one of the conditions that have to be satisfied for something to carry value. Hence my life as a person carries no value but our lives as people do. So life holds a 'relative' value. We are important to others is why we are important to ourselves.
-Now here's where it gets complicated. To define anything to begin with, something of contrast should be established.
For example:
One cannot know what how small something is until he has seen something bigger. There has to be difference, something of an opposing value to define one. Life would carry no meaning if death wasn't an inevitable fact. Hence we say that death is the absence of life.
So to define the value of a human life, we need something of comparison.
-What does carry true value?
The Big Bang Theory states that the universe started from a 1-dimensional point the size of an atom, so there had to be 'will' present for it to disperse and then infinitely expand. Which would mean, if we ever decided to travel towards the edge or the center of the universe, we'll always be infinitely distant from it.. eh?
Now think of life, it's value is nothing because it started from nothing and to balance the equation, it would have to end in nothing. With me so far?
-But the universe started from something, we we are almost certain of. So the universe does carry value. So far:
Our lives don't carry value individually
The universe does carry a value
And 'we' constitute(make up) the universe.
-So yes, individual life carries no value. But when two lives relate, as in a relationship.. that has value. And all relations, material and non-material (physical and spiritual) eventually constitute the universal value.
-Hence when a murder kills someone, he has caused something of negative value to happen. In order to counter this, a positive value has to be formed, to keep balance. So a living being somewhere else is born (not necessairily human) and since the universe which could be taken to have the value '1', it is infinitely and exponentially expanding, as in.. 1X1X1X1 no matter how may times you multiply it, the 'essential' value which the universe carries is inaffected. Sine the amount of matter never changes as it all started from the same 1-dimensional point. Everything has 'expanded' rather than increasing.
So the value stays the same no matter what. But when a person dies, in a sense value has been in that particular place lost.
Here's the dilemma, do we imprison/execute (punish) the killer?
Ofcourse, this is all just my theory, hardly even strong basis for an ethical paradox. And as a friend of mine did, most of you would impulsively answer 'yes'. But the execution (the killers death) doesn't directly bring positive value to the situation so for the person who died, it really changes nothing at all.
-Now Metaphysically, all humans should be able to go around killing each other without consequences, the strongest survive and form a most efficient and positive community till they eventually die out an somewhere out there in the billion stars, an alien specie replaces us. But that would be an eugenic concept and that is ethically wrong.
-Ethically speaking, taking another life is a crime, a sin, it's not against human nature but it's against the natural law that governs the human nature. That nature should left alone to do it's own job, eventually and naturally kill this human. (although some would consider murder that too)
Ofcourse they need to be punished for them to 'learn' a lesson but there is no gurantee to this, so we end up ruining another human life so other's can feel safer.. a selfish motive? Is that ethical? I'm quite honestly ambivalent.
Here, do you side (support) physics or ethics?
__________________________________________________ _________________________
-No matter what happens, this universal value is unaffected?
Infinity square root 2 is till infinity, but you couldn't say it hasn't lost value, right?
-Does material relationship affect value?
Yes, but the subject is living human beings, lets keep it spiritual.
-How does this value end?
A loves B, B loves A. They both die and with it their memories which carried the value of their relationship hence that value is now lost. If only one of them dies, 'some' value is lost.
It would result similarly if they both lost their memories. So memory plays a part, and death does end it since the neurons and philotes in your brain decompose into simpler substances and information is lost.
-Aren't everyday values 'feelings'?
No, values are mere numbers to lay the basics of a metaphysical argument. Values aren't classified (or catagorized) as feelings are, hence they are different.

Neither, I support practical approach. If we allow people to go around killing each other civilization will collapse or at the very least progress would be slowed. Further the murder of an individual is the loss of a potentally productive resource. As such even if you attach no value to the life of an individual, it's still more efficent to forbid murder.
I think considering the value of the system as a whole, in this case the universe, is flawed reasoning. While the value of the system is unchanged apon someone's death, that does not mean that individual's life did not have value. That value, relative to the system as a whole is irrelevent, however, on the scale we live on, it is most certainly signifigant.
I do agree somewhat that the value is not in the life itself, but in the connections we make to others though. It works fine in daily life, but does lead to some problems when you view things on a large scale.
As to your man in solitary confinement, even if he never comes into contact with another human being, his life might still have value. He could have spent all his time thinking, and come up with unique ideas on the nature of the universe. That his life passed without those ideas becoming known is most certainly a loss, even if the world never knows it. However, if he wrote then down, and one day those works are discovered, his value may be revealed.
Though that last sentence probably violates the spirit of your case.

Um.. by saying he never made contact means he never learned to speak or read or write or to this. And his work will never be published if there was any. And he died without anyone ever having the knowledge that he existed, now does he matter?
We kill people to punish them or make them incapable of murdering ever again, on the assumption that they will go around killing more people eh? Isn't that unethical in itself? To trust our 'reasonable' assumption to end a persons life in one way or another? It would be at the 'risk' of other lives but we don't know what the risk is until we've taken it.
The concept of eugenics, the survival of the strongest also comes into play. Ofcourse we'll try and reach perfection, and we'll all end up dying and in death shall we find the perfection we were looking for. So we'll be replaced by another specie elsewhere, that's my theory. It's just ignorant of us to think aliens don't exist :/ So as our population increases, some other species on a different planet unknowingly pays the price. So the value isn't increased or decreased.
I agree with you that on our individual lives, the scale is different and that it does matter and hold value. And only because we exist around others. If both loves die, their love has died. It may inspire new relationships but those will be form different patterns. Either less or more complicated. So while it matters to us, in a generalization it doesn't make much difference. So we could punish our little killer for what he did either for the sake of revenge or gratification (selfish) or on the assumption that he'll make our lives less safe (selfish) both being somewhat unethical.
It's almost a circular paradox ethically, so I tend to support metaphysics :/ it's a little confusing even for myself I guess. But you had some strong arguments.

As short as I can possibly be ... when someone is murdered.... not only has a consciousness been snuffed but the *bonds* with every single other consciousness has been violated/nullified.
Its an entanglement issue, neither can exist without the other - each is created by the other in some way.

For me I believe your individuality means nothing and it has no value if you cannot contribute anything to society in any kind of forward progression. With you example of the man in the basement that does nothing, his life for me has no value. For very few would even remember him when his death come, and few would even mourn his death and it doesn't affect much at all. If you include Kamui assumption that he did do some studies but never got the chance distribute his ideas to the world but maybe found later on, then his life/value would have some significance after his discovery would be found.
While the Earth itself holds little value, it "can" hold life, which creates a "significant" force for itself. Well... in the spiritual sense.

Ahhhh!!!! It's logical thinking!!! Run!!!!!
Jk. The metaphysics approach is of nature. Y'know, survival of the fittest? If you are a lion, and you can't competitively hunt, you will starve, and die. Technically, us humans should be following this rule, as we also are animals, and born of this planet naturally.
But somehow us humans have worked our way to the top, and we are following the ethics rule. But we still keep animals in battery farms, feed them diets which will lead them to maximum profit, and most value for money.
Yet within our (human) society, we are using the ethics approach. Mentally, and physically handicapped individuals are supported by the society, since we consider it unethical to leave them to die. The people who (nearly always) work harder and longer get paid less (e.g. factory workers)
God, my brain hurts. I support a hybrid of ethics and metaphysics. Metaphysics can be applied to business, economics, work, etc where efficiency is the most important. Ethics can be applied to our human society.

To answer your first question directly, I'll first assume that you're essentially agnostic. In the first place, no self-respecting theist would have suggested the premises you have proposed. To be sure, your ideas sound rather heretical from an existentialist viewpoint as well.
From there, I'll tell you quite simply what I believe: essence precedes meaning. We are hurled into existence (Kierkegaard), not out of any prior choice nor with any accompanying instructions. And for as long as we live, we'll never really know why we came into existence in the first place.
Meaning comes later, as an act of Will. Through our will, we impose meaning on our surroundings (Schopenhaur). We detect patterns, interpret signs, in the vain-glorious hope of making some sense out of our transient existence. That's one reason why artistic experession is the noblest form of human endeavour - it is a conscious act of human will, to impose order on our lives, and to create beauty in the process (Schopenhaur, and to a certain extent, Nietzsche). Beauty makes our otherwise miserable existence tolerable.
I have no idea where you derived your "metaphysical relativity" from. It sounds a bit like a very confused interpretation of Taoist dualism. Without a clear understanding of your context, it's rather difficult to comment further on what you've suggested. If you ask me, it sounds like a sure recipe for suicidal depression.
Very simply, life matters, because this is the only one existence you'll ever have. No second chances. No after-life to look forward to. You die, that's it. You become nothing.
What remains are the memories that people have of you. You don't have to be famous, unless you want to. All it takes is for at least one person who cares to remember you. The Great Gatsby had at least one true friend to see him off at his funeral. It was a pathetic way to go, but at least he wasn't completely forgotten.
So, in this sense, at least one part of your ideas sound reasonable. Yes, it's true that part of the value of a human life is made up of the relationships he forms.
But you can't ignore the idea that all human lives have intrinsic value. It's utterly depressing to think it doesn't. I mean, if that were so, what's stopping you from jumping off a cliff right now?
So, yeah, live long and prosper. Don't think too hard.

Well..Say you got put away in prision in Highschool, and you die like 50 years later in there...You've learned to speak, read, write, etc....And eventually you'll probably be forgotten..I mean, If you know someone in the 10th grade you you move and don't see them or keep in contact for 20 years..chances are they wont remember you. So just because you have made contact with people, does not excuse the fact that you could be forgotten and you die with out meaning. It's really a thing like this..The beginning of your life had meaning, but towards the end that meaning was lost.
Now...What I believe is that "No good deed is done with out a bad after effect, and vise-versa." Meaning, every good deed you do, will always have a bad outcome, and every bad deed done will have a good outcome. Which is where my argument on good and evil comes in. I do not belive in good nor evil...We are all neutral. We all are good and evil. So, when someone dies to keep the balance another child is born? I say that this is true. Then you have someone who kills someone...Then they are tried and punished. That goes with my belif. So, someone kills someone- Most would think it's a bad deed commited yes? So, they are tried and and lets say they get the death sentence. So bassically by kiling this guy, they are just taking another life to make up for the other one. So they are murdering them, which like you said is ussually for a selfishness. Again that is a bad deed is it not? So lets look at the chain shall we....Someone kills someone-Bad---Person is then given a punishment for what he has done- Good---IS killed for what he is done---Bad.....So it goes, Bad, Good, Bad...So by doing a bad deed, a good deed was caused, but that good deed cause another bad deed.
Now, you theroy on this is very logical and something that I would possible to believe is true. Now with what thousands of other people belive, to them your theory has many flaws.
Now, as for the human life having value. I believe that every human life has value, it's just some tends to loose it's value eventually. Say, two parents have a child and then that child dies...The value of that was it gave the parents hope (or what ever else you could get.). Every life has value, wheather or not it's acknowleded or known. When you are born, you have value...It's just if you tend to be anti-socible and never interact with people, you your self are lowering the value of your life.

Well according to your theory, in the long run life has no value whatsoever (as eventually every life will end and therefore any impression any life has had will end) which is really depressing when you think about it. I don't agree with this model, I prefer the magical number 2 model (the number 2 is not a material thing and therefore cannot be destroyed. The essence [consciousness, soul, spirit, whatever you prefer] of any human is also not a material thing and therefore also cannot be destroyed and will always exist.)
To me every life has some intrinsic value just by existing.
Now on to the killing of a murderer. In your theory it doesn't matter, as whether or not it is a good or bad deed to kill the murderer has no impact in the grand scheme of things. Also you can look at it purely metaphysically; the murderer is "weak" enough to get caught and therefore deserves to die for not being "strong" enough to escape.

Everyone who lives knows someone who died. We pause and remember them for how they affected our lives. We rarely pause and reflect on those we don't know, who died, and influenced our lives without us knowing.
Death is imperfect. What's the point of life if death is all that awaits you? Sure, you can look at life as the most basic terms - consume, excrete, sleep. Humans are more than that. We also create, destroy, question, improve. We're far more complex than the circle of life. So what's the point of being human and having all of this "baggage" if we're simply meant to be animals and die quietly?
It's hard for me to accept that we'll move beyond humanity when one of our most basic and enduring questions is what it means to *be* human.

Humans would not be the top of the chain today if we weren't strong. In our species view, the murderer is the weak one. He does not help our society, he disrupts it.
The murderer has simply acted upon what he thought was 'free will' as he didn't see himself bound by ethical or religious boundries while he was committing the 'crime'. I'm not defending murder but rather giving it a different, less cruel perspective.
By death I meant extinction, you are right.. a human life does have more to it. But once you are dead, you are over. Another memory, without sentience or another 'shadow' of an entity that existed. Ofcourse I'm an Atheist to not look forward to a heaven or hell :/ but I warned about that earlier.
Life isn't perfect because you can be half dead even while you live, and life can be changed and improved and lived. Death is the absence of everything. Everything has imperfections thus the absence of everything would leave nothing to bear any flaws. To put it in another context, it's as perfect as an imaginary friend, a friend you created to perfectly fit your needs?
Though that won't apply to this situation, since Jack has never known a friend or anyone, so his feelings would be just as unreal as anything else and although you might think he has created value by loving this creature, he has influenced no enteties :/
Please point out any errors, I'm almost making this up as I go :/ improvising.

Life and death have to be decisive because we were nothing before we were born and to 'balance the equation' it has to end that way, o.o in my humble opinion

The why is important, but the when matters more. Unfortunately you can't predict the when. So we all just blunder through our lives making the best of it we can until our time comes to leave. How we choose to spend that time is really the only thing that matters in life, in my opinion.
If you imagine the universe as a giant chain of events, things *have* to happen in order to give rise to new events. So to say someone is nothing before they were born and consequently are nothing when they die sounds negative, if not fatalistic. That's not to say you are powerless to choose your own destiny, but things will play out unforseen no matter what you do. The destination might not change, but the path is yours to travel.
If you want a circle of life kind of answer, you can also reflect upon existence in this manner: Action and reaction. You are born, therefore you must die. But why do you have to be born? You, specifically. What couldn't it have been one of thousands of eggs and millions of sperm, across billions of males and females coupling that produced a different person. Why you?
The balance of life is that you have to die to make sure the system is never overburdened with constant new lives and older lives that never expire. There are many built in safeties, but man is slowly overcoming them. It's safe to say that the system nature built is being eroded by mans ability to move beyond it. The only safety nature could create to keep this in check would be something so fatal the species would be wiped out.
So again, balance is subjective. Life and death are transient stages of existence. Knowing only what your time is like during your life holds little value before or after this existence as you are now. At least, to you personally. To those who are still living, your value is only decided upon by them.
Yes, perhaps a bit philosophical, but it's some of the reflections I've been pondering for a few years now.
You end up thinking in circles. Perhaps that's where reincarnation originates from. For example - creating a new account/name on a message board you frequent. You're still "you", but to everyone else you're not the same person. Even if someone was keen enough to recognize some of your traits from your previous persona, it would be impossible for them to know without you either a.) making it blatently obvious, or b.) a higher source telling them, like a moderator.
My brain hurts.

I couldn't read every single post but here's what I had in mind, quite random thoughts, not refering to any other post except maybe the first:
Yes, if someone who absolutely had no contact with anyone, his existance would be useless to the society. But his existance still carried something, because when he dies, he will decompose and 'return to nature'. He contributes to the carbon cycle, grows some fungi, algae and other micro organisms, maybe his corpse will also feed some larger scavenger or something lol
Its very hard to deem an existance completely meaningless and useless. Though I'm someone who thinks that our (human) existance is near insignificant, for now. Until we can leave our planet and cross several light years, humans are probably going to end up as nothing, just like the murder example in the original post.
I like to view things at a bigger scale:
Our planet is just one planet among the trillions of solar systems of stars in our galaxy, which is among even more galaxies.
When the Sun goes into a red giant, our human existance for a mere 15000 years or so would become nothing, even the Earth's 4.5 billion years is nothing.
Unless Voyager 2 actually ended up in someone elses scope/camera view, computer screen or even crashed into their planet.
If we still aren't able to make ourselves 'known to the universe', our existance would be useless in the first place. But of course, we may have already been known, by aliens that really are observing our planet.
An existance can only be insignificant at most, but can't completely have no value.
To deem a human existance useless, the planet must be destroyed, but then we may have already affected something in our galaxy. So to deem the planet useless we must destroy the galaxy. Next we have to destroy the galaxy itself, but at such a large scale, the destruction is sure to leave behind alot and cause alot more, so we must destroy the local galaxy cluster. Then we will have to destroy the universe itself and so on.

Quick notes:
- you haven't explained what what you call "will" is, or its relationship with the Big Bang.
- You haven't explained why "value" changes as in a zero-sum game.
- The quantity of matter in the universe isn't constant.
- Your murderer isn't strong. He got caught and turned the environment that supported him into something hostile.
- Eugenism presupposes you know what it means to be strong, what it takes to come out on top. It's arrogant and stupid. A society that can build tanks and planes will beat a society of musclemen who can't use anything more elaborate than clubs, but ten thousand years ago, did we know that?

I'm afraid I might be underthinking things but I really have to disagree with your statement
As far as we know all aware beings are multi faced. As an example a part of me doesn't want to post this because it fears scrutiny and the possible rejection which that may cause. It can also be assumed that if the universe is sentinent or aware it is also made up of parts. This all simply means that if relationships create value then aware beings which as far as we know have internal relationships should have value. I would also like to point out that things that don't exist, while not having value also have no need of value and thus don't suffer for it.
Now I'm going on to a part I know I'm underthinking. In the case of the murder, punishment occurs for four reasons
1. To cause suffering to the murderer. Ie revenge
2. To show would be murderers that they will suffer if they murder. Ie dissuation
3. To stop possible repeat offenders from repeating crimes. Ie isolation
4. To force them to engage in behaviour to help them reintergrate into society Ie redemption
Out of these 2 and 3 cause further negative value to not come into existence. While 4 directly causes positive value and even in the case of an execution 3 is at least always invoked with 2 usually invoked as well. Most other forms of punishment at least invoke one of 2,3 and 4 as well.

So then your saying that everything is already pre-planed then? I might be reading it wrong (probably am..got like 1 hour of sleep last night studying for my finals, just got done with algebra finals and am supposed to be doing a project on the computer so please excuse my mis-interpitation if i'm wrong).
If you ask me, your life is pre-determined by the choices you make...Your life is not completely set, you are set on a path in which you must take, it's just the choices along the way will effect the outcome....So, makeing your life have value or not would be entierly up to you....So your life is not pre-determined, just the path you walk on is....

More Bubblicious Signs of Bubbling Bubblicity
Sometimes, there's a message out there with your name on it, so you get hit on the head with it again and again and again. Here are some of the messages we got yesterday, and they all add up to the same thing.
First, looks like HELOCs are coming back. No, they're not at the insane rate of the glory days of 2006, but there's more in 2012 than 2011. So that's something for us to keep an eye on.
One of the problems with HELOCs was HELOCity, where every homedebtor used the line of credit not for major home improvements or emergencies, but as a full-time ATM. People bought a lot of giant-ass SUVs and vacations and bling using the equity in their homes. Why would they do something that stupid? Do they really think they'd never have to pay it back? Some of us actually do remember when second mortgages were subprime mortgages throughout the industry.
Speaking of subprime, you know what else is back? Subprime mortgages! That article we featured last weekend on the Dignity Mortgage wasn't the only sip of subprime sangria. Gotta love this quote:
The Revival of Subprime: Will This End Badly?
By Matt Clinch | CNBC – February 8, 2013
The sub-prime market – risky mortgage backed securities – is hot again and its revival is exceeding many people's expectations, the chief market strategist at Rosenblatt Securities says. He believes this will end badly.
The subprime mortgage crisis which led to the financial crash of 2008 involved institutions making loans to those that had difficulty maintaining their repayment schedule.
Wall Street brokerage firm Rosenblatt – which has been monitoring the situation since the last storm – says the credit-led bull market is well under way.
"The subprime market's revival is proving to be even stronger than we had anticipated," Brian Reynolds said in a research note. "This is just a credit cycle, and it will eventually end badly like the others."
We are sure you are thinking the same thing we are: How can we best profit from so many other people's stupidity?
Next, several different reports of an increasingly skewed seller's market. We'll have one up bright and early to start the week, and it's a doozy. Here's a smaller example, an on-the-ground report from Definitely Not the Real Bay Area. This poor agent says she listed a Blossom Valley property and now her phone is ringing every ten minutes. Won't someone let her get some quiet time and please offer twice the asking price already?
Buyers now have to write beg letters to get noticed when there's 40 offers on the table. And who can forget the lottery line for just 4 Gale Ranch models in San Ramon. Need we remind you, Gale Ranch is not only in the East Bay, it's in a place where they are still making more land.
If you haven't already seen this 2007 (!!!) video, enjoy it. And if you have, sing along, because HERE COMES ANOTHER BUBBLE.

Lexmark x463de printer
Subject description: How to print from networked Lexmark x463de printer using Puppy528
I need help setting up to print on a Lexmark x463de printer via the network using Puppy 528.
First, Cups 1.4 does not find this network printer. I found its IP address from the printer to be 192.168.2.107. Exactly how do I enter that information into Cups?
Next, Cups does not list this printer under Lexmark. Is there a good alternative printer to try?
Finally, I tried to find a driver for this printer on the Lexmark website. Drivers for many other Linux distributions are offered. I downloaded one for a Ubuntu distribution and one for a Debian distribution which seem to be the same:
I do not know how to try to use this driver in Cups. Do I have to extract something from it first? What is the best driver to try, that is for what other Linux distribution. Many (100 +)are offered, below is a link to the list:
Obviously I do not know what I am doing. About the only thing I know is that I need help.
Thanks in advance!!

Try using Find New Printers. It may take several tries. If CUPS still can't find it, do a manual install.
1. From the list of devices, elect AppSocket/HPJetDirect
2. Enter the URI as "socket://192.168.2.107".
Next, Cups does not list this printer under Lexmark. Is there a good alternative printer to try?
If you go
, you will see links to some Lexmark inkjet printers. But they won't apply to you. The recent Lexmark Linux driver packages have become so complicated that they are impossible to convert into PETs.
However, you have three alternatives:
1. Your printer claims to be HP PCL5e compatible. Install the hplip_print package from the link above and try installing it as a Laserjet 4.
2. Your printer is also Postscript-capable. I have attached a generic Postscript PPD file. Install it and run CUPS. You will see it listed under Lexmark.
3. I looked at your download from Lexmark. It also contains Postscript PPD files. So if mine doesn't work, we can try one of theirs.

No reply? That's too bad. Once we had the printer working we could have looked at running its scanner over the network.

Thank you so much for your help! This printer is located across town in my Church so I could not try your suggestion until today. I have now tried them.
The IP was entered as you instructed.
Your Lexmark_X413de_Postscript_PPD-1.1.pet was downloaded and run. It indeed appeared on the CUPS Lexmark list. It was selected and installed. A message indicated that the printer had been successfully installed. Unfortunately, neither the test file, nor another file would print. This was your alternative No. 2.
I do not know how to find the hplip_print package your refer to in your alternative No. 1. I do not know what link you are referring to.
In your alternative No. 3 where do I find find the Postscript PPD files in the Lexmark download? I do not know what Lexmark download you refer to. I looked in the list of Linux printer in the list from the Lexmark webpage, but do not find anything like that.
I wish I were better able to use the suggestions you gave me. I do not know how.
I really appreciate you help and patience. Thanks!!

The HP driver package is
at the bottom of the page. It is named hplip_print-3.12.10a.pet.
In CUPS, delete the current printer (look under its Admin tab). Then let CUPS rediscover it. Install it as any of the Laserjet 4 models.
If that doesn't work, we can look at the Lexmark driver.

I found the hplip_print file. I downloaded and installed it on my home machine and see in CUPS under HP a Laserjet 4 listed. I will try doing this on the Church computer tomorrow where this printer is located.
I will let you know the results.

I did the same thing on a computer on the Church network containing the printer today. That is your No. 1 alternative. The hplip_print package was installed. CUPS was then used to install the printer as a HP Laserjet 4. A successful installation was reported, but the test page would not print.
Linux printing was guaranteed by the supplier when we leased this printer, but we can not make it work. It copies well. It scans pages. It will even print a file if that file printed as a pdf file on a memory stick which is physically moved to the printer. My complaints to the supplier have not had any results. I would like to try your alternative No.3, but I do not know how.
Thanks for you help!

The problem is that we are not working in one of the big-boy Linuxes for which the Lexmark driver packages are intended.
If you print to this machine from Windows, do you need to enter any kind of password?
I have attached another Postscript driver to try, but I am not hopeful. Before installing it, go into the folder /usr/share/cups/model and delete the current Lexmark PPD. Then install the new PET.
Delete and rediscover the printer.
However, finding the right driver is irrelevant if you don't have the right network connection. From the terminal, type
mpscan -p 9100 192.168.2.207
mpscan -p 515 192.168.2.207
mpscan -p 139 192.168.2.207
mpscan -p 631 192.168.2.207
What do you get back?
Is it possible to connect your computer directly to the printer by USB? This is a better way to test the PPD files.

We got the network printer working thanks to you! Your last driver did the trick along with your suggestion that we connect to the printer via a USB wire rather than through the network. This helped a lot. Once we got it printing as a local printer we went back and used the same settings and driver to set it up as a network printer. CUPS is now even finding this network printer automatically and the other computers on the network have been set up to use this printer, even far away computers on the network via LAN Cat 5 cables.
This is all now working as we want. Hurrah for you and Puppy Linux!
I do not think you need to consider Puppy Linux to be inferior to the "big boys". This little distribution runs fast and works well for me on several computers on two different networks. I have recently found a small little modestly priced computer with no fan or other moving parts or a disk drive. This runs well on Puppy. I intend to eventually replace all the computers on both these networks with this little machine.
I am gradually getting to a point where I will have no more requirement for Windows XP. The last remaining challenge is to find a substitute for MS Access which can read and use Access files. I have not been able to do this even on Wine. MS Money is possible to use on Puppy with Wine. Beyond these I need to learn some Puppy tricks which would help me a lot, like being able to always have a specific USB stick be assigned a specific address. I have a long wish list of things like this I would like to be able to do on Puppy. Do you or other on this Puppy Linux Discussion Forum have a way to work with me on this?
By the way, I see from your location that we are not far apart. I am in Lewiston, New York, USA.
Thank you very much!

Glad to help. Did it end up using the socket networking protocol? This is the same as Port 9100.
Do you now want to look at accessing the unit's scanner remotely?
The last remaining challenge is to find a substitute for MS Access which can read and use Access files
Have you tried Open/LIbre Office? There are instructions on the web for setting this up.

Thanks, rcrsn51!
Actually I do not know what networking protocol we used. First I followed your suggestion and got it working on the USB with your new driver. Then I stripped everything on the networking out to get a fresh start. At that point the CUPS program found the printer on the network and I just installed it using the same driver there. When I say found, I mean it appeared when I went to CUPS>Administration>Add Printer, not even Find New Printer. It just appears on the list. Bingo it works! I know I should try to document what I did, but I am not even sure now myself. I do know that I was able to almost immediately get it running on a second identical computer on the network. I am concerned that without documenting this I will be in trouble again months from now when something goes wrong and I need to do it again. I try to document when something finally works, but usually I can not recall even immediately what I did. Usually I have been trying all kinds of things and finally some combination works.
I am satisfied with out the remote scanner right now. I am not sure what value that would be.
I read that now Libre Data Base can read Access files, but I have not been able to get that to happen. I will try the most recent version of Libre, but I am not too hopeful. I have also read that many people have not been able to do that.
Thanks again!!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 27, 2013) – As the ETSU baseball team leaves behind the winter-like weather in Johnson City, the Bucs look to heat up in the Florida sun as the Blue and Gold begin a three-game Atlantic Sun series at North Florida Thursday night at Harmon Stadium.
Thursday – 6:00 P.M. – Game No. 22
RHP Griffin Krieg (2-1, 3.73) vs. LHP Tommy Organ (3-0, 2.92)
Friday – 6:00 P.M. – Game No. 23
RHP Kerry Doane (4-1, 2.02) vs. TBA
Saturday – 1:00 P.M. – Game No. 24
TBA vs. LHP Michael Renner (3-0, 0.82)
- Prior to rescheduling Tuesday's game with Radford, the Bucs (13-8, 3-3 A-Sun) dropped two of three to then-No. 26 Florida Gulf Coast last weekend at Thomas Stadium. All three games were decided by one run, while ETSU had the winning or tying run on base in the ninth inning of both setbacks.
- Alex Reynolds (Johnson City, Tenn.) hit safely in all three games against the Eagles, as the senior infielder hit .444 (4-9) with three walks and two runs scored. Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) and Jordan Sanford (Powell, Tenn.) also hit .400 in the series. Green went 3-for-7 (.429) and had the game-winning hit in the opener of Saturday's doubleheader, while Sanford also finished 3-for-7 with two doubles and two runs scored.
- Senior Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) earned the win for the Blue and Gold as the right-handed hurler tossed his fourth complete game in his last five starts. Doane allowed two runs on six hits and struck out five in the 3-2 victory over FGCU.
- North Florida (18-9, 2-1 A-Sun) is coming off a heartbreaking 6-5, 14-inning loss to Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday night. Tuesday's game marked the first of a 15-game homestand for the Ospreys.
- The Ospreys are the top hitting and third-best pitching team in the A-Sun. As a club, UNF is hitting .312 and has a 3.32 ERA. The Ospreys also lead the conference in hits (313) and triples (12).
- Senior Paul Karmeris is one of seven starters to be hitting over .300, as the catcher/infielder leads the team with a .376 average, which is tied for the sixth highest clip in the A-Sun. Meanwhile, senior Joe Wielbruda is close behind Karmeris, as the senior second baseman is hitting .368, while ranking 11th nationally in hits (39).
- Saturday's starter Michael Renner's 0.82 ERA places him 13th in the country and also tops all pitchers in the conference. Renner has allowed only three earned runs in 33.0 innings of work in 2013.
- ETSU holds a 12-10 lead in the all-time series and the Bucs swept UNF in their last trip to Jacksonville back in 2011.
- The Bucs are 6-3 against North Florida in Jacksonville.
- Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) hit .417 (5-12) with a triple, home run, three runs scored and four RBI in last season's series, while sophomore Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) was 4-for-8 with four walks and two runs scored last year against the Ospreys.
- Live stats will be available for all three games this weekend via StatBroadcast by visiting ETSUBucs.com. Fans can access live stats on their computers, mobile devices or tablets.
- All three games this weekend will be broadcast live on WXSM-AM 640. Fans outside the Tri-Cities region can access WXSM online at http://www.640wxsm.com/ or you can listen to the games via your mobile device(s) by downloading the iHeart Radio application.
- This weekend's series will also be video streamed live for free on ASun.TV.
- Live Twitter updates can also be accessed by following @ETSUAthletics and @ETSU_Baseball.

Treasure Chest Thursday
Mom and Dad
Getting a cold, refreshing drink of water from the pump, on the farm.
I have no way of dating this except their looks and dress, but I'm confident they are newly-weds...
They married in March 1938 - the cultivator on the tractor suggests June or so.
June 1938 - on their farm (rented from his mother's estate, I believe).
I have more photos than 'artifacts' - this one qualifies as a TREASURE, to me!
Families are Forever! ;-)

Coming off one of its best seasons in over a decade, the Lady Greenback tennis team looks to build on last year's success with 14 girls taking to the courts for 2013. Losing no players to graduation, the outlook is extremely bright. Returning coaches Larry Kahmeyer and Tate Thompson are looking to develop the girls' skills with the goal of making a deep run in the postseason.
Coming off one of its best seasons in over a decade, the Lady Greenback tennis team looks to build on last year's success with 14 girls taking to the courts for 2013. Losing no players to graduation, the outlook is extremely bright. Returning coaches Larry Kahmeyer and Tate Thompson are looking to develop the girls' skills with the goal of making a deep run in the postseason.
Leading the way for the varsity are seniors Lauren McClain and Dani Williams, who last year compiled a 28-10 record and earned a 10th place medal in doubles at the state championship tournament. McClain is looking to make her fourth state appearance in as many years. After earning a berth in singles as a freshman and sophomore, McClain paired up with Williams in doubles and was able to bring home state hardware in 2012. Unfortunately, McClain is currently without Williams, who is nursing an injured left wrist.
"As bright as our season looks – we do have a few storm clouds on the horizon," said head coach Larry Kahmeyer. "Lauren and Dani were working hard this summer and looking forward to a fantastic season. Right now, things are in limbo. At a minimum, Dani will miss our first meet at Lyons and probably the next one at Hillsboro, too. She's got to get cleared to play, but I'm still hopeful that she can join Lauren on the court as quickly as possible. It's a big hole in our roster while she's out. Lauren can always successfully jump back to singles, but it's not exactly what we had planned."
Junior Jade Hoover, after some dedicated off-season work, returns even stronger after an impressive 27-2 season. If McClain stays with doubles, Hoover will take the reigns at the #1 singles position, replacing departed senior Adele Loomis, who opted to run cross country in preparation for a collegiate career.
"From what I've seen so far, Jade is much improved," said Kahmeyer. "She's hitting harder with more angles on her shots. Jade got a lot of mileage out of consistency last year, and if she can add some power and aggression to her shots, she can have an amazing year."
Fellow juniors Allicia Hall and Elee Hampton round out the returning varsity players after gaining valuable experience on the way to a 19-9 record last season.
"Allicia and Elee grew up quickly last year," commented Kahmeyer. "They were thrust into a varsity situation early and responded well. They fell short of a state appearance last year, but I know that's in their sights."
Looking to join the varsity ranks are juniors Ellie Brehm and Madi Mayberry. Both have extensive junior varsity experience and will figure prominently in the varsity picture.
"Ellie's hitting form is sharp for the beginning of the season," said Kahmeyer. "I see her filling in at a #2 spot and being competitive. And Madi has done well at singles in JV. I'm not sure what combinations we'll be using, but as long as Dani's out, Ellie and Madi will have a role."
Providing leadership for the junior varsity, senior Taylor Moreland competes for her fourth year.
"Taylor put a lot of things together last year and grew by leaps and bounds. It's great to have her on the roster and I'm proud of her effort," said Kahmeyer.
Rounding out the roster are returning sophomores Lizzie Amaro, Hazen Hance, Eadie Monaghan and Cassie Van Slyke who all earned junior varsity experience last year. Throwing their hats in the ring are freshmen newcomers Keisha Briggeman and Ciara Hodgkinson.
The Greenbacks first varsity action is this Thursday at the Lyons Quad at 3 p.m.
