Summer in the City 2012 featuring Cloud Nothings with Herzog
Wednesday, July 11: 7 p.m.
RSVP + Share this event on Facebook
This is the summer to rock, and Summer in the City, the Rock Hall’s FREE live concert series, returns this season to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Beginning on Wednesday, July 11th some of the country’s most buzzed about up and coming artists will perform on the Museum plaza (weather permitting, if necessary it will be moved inside to the Main Stage), and concessions will be available for purchase from the Museum and local food trucks on the plaza, as well. Summer in the City is sponsored by KeyBank, Jim Beam, Yuengling and Panasonic Automotive.
Each Summer in the City artist or band has been invited to blog on rockhall.com/blog to share their experiences with fans: how they got started, their inspirations, their aspirations for the future and what their thoughts are on performing in Cleveland at the Museum. About Cloud Nothings and Herzog
Cloud Nothings have gone from making lo-fi indie rock in a parent’s basement in 2009 to releasing an EP, a handful of singles, a compilation album and two studio albums of new material, as well as touring North America and Europe, where their live performances showcase songs full of energy and precision. In 2010, the band recorded in Baltimore’s famed Copycat Building (home to the original Wham City and many of the city’s best musicians). The resulting self-titled album released in 2011 featured group founder Dylan Baldi playing all of the instruments. The band released the critically acclaimed Attack on Memory, which was engineered by Steve Albini, in early 2012 and performed at SXSW in March. Cloud Nothings have been featured in Rolling Stone, Spin and the New York Times.Cleveland-based band Herzog is an indie rock band consistently compared to iconic bands in the pantheon of ‘90’s “slacker rock” acts. Their arrangements are beautifully complex and catchy, and the instrumentation ideally and intelligently complements the lyrics of each song. The band’s new album, Cartoon Violence, is their first full-length since their 2010 album, Search, and embraces sounds ranging from 1970s FM radio ballads, McCartney-esque pop stylings and straightforward power-pop. They have received positive reviews for their albums from the likes of NME, Pitchfork, and NPR’s All Songs Considered.

Sing it Loud at 610 Saturdays
Royals fan Dave Curtis sang it at the last Royals “610 Saturdays” party (see video here)…now he is on royals.com and is a finalist to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during a Royals game.
Will it be you this Saturday? The Royals are hosting their second “610 Saturdays” event presented by Miller Lite prior to the 6:10 p.m. contest with the Toronto Blue Jays. This time, 610 Sports has invited 96.5 The Buzz out to the ballpark to host the event. On-air personality Jason of the “Middays with Jason” show will take over the mic for the event, which also feature a live performance by the band The Away Team. But, let’s get back to Dave, our Baby Ruth “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” contest winner…
For the first pre-game “610 Saturdays” party, we had 15 to 20 Royals fans who braved the cold to sing along to the traditional Seventh-Inning Stretch song. But, in the end, it was Dave who took home the title for his rendition of the classic. Now, Dave, along with all the other finalists from the Royals “610 Saturdays” this season, will be featured on royals.com. At the end of the season, fans will vote for their favorite Royals singer and the winner will lead the crowd in “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the Saturday, September 20 Fan Appreciation Night game, plus win two (2) Royals Season Tickets for 2009!
So…do you think you can beat Dave? If so, then we hope to see you at “610 Saturdays”…
Filed in: Dailies Tags: 610 Saturdays, Take Me Out to the Ballgame Saturdays at The K…
If you’ve taken a look at the 2008 Promotions Schedule, you’ve noticed that we pretty much are hosting a great promotion every Saturday evening at the ballpark this season. We know you love those promotions (golf umbrellas, bobbleheads, camo caps, etc.), but we know you aren’t crazy about getting to the ballpark two hours before first pitch to make sure you get those promotions. Well, this season, Saturdays at The K are going to be a little different…
For Saturday home games, we are partnering with Entercom-Kansas City, the parent company of 610 Sports, to host Baseball Night in Kansas City: 610 Saturdays presented by Miller Lite. It’s a promotion that features a premium give-away item, exciting pre-game entertainment and a great ticket value! We are casually calling them 610 Saturdays, but the bottom line is that we want your Saturday nights in Kansas City to be spent at the ballpark. We want you to get to the ballpark early to pick up your promotional item before heading over to the special pre-game entertainment zone – located near Gate A of Kauffman Stadium – to interact with 610 Sports personalities, listen to live music and special guests and take advantage of great food and drink specials. And, to mix it up throughout the season, 610 Saturdays will be co-hosted by different Entercom-Kansas City stations, including 96.5 The Buzz, 106.5 The Wolf, 99.7 The Boulevard, 98.1 KUDL and 98.9 The Rock. So, no matter what your music likes are, we’ve got you covered in 2008! Also, as part of Baseball Night in Kansas City, we are introducing the “610 Pen” seating section. Here’s the details: for each 610 Saturday, all seats in View Level Infield section 424 will be available for purchase online at royals.com for just $6.10 (regularly $15). Fans in the “610 Pen” section will be a part of in-game promotions and features. In order to take advantage of this exclusive ticket offer, fans can listen to 610 Sports or visit royals.com/610saturdays beginning the Monday prior to each 610 Saturday. A password that will be announced over-the-air and available online will let fans purchase “610 Pen” tickets. Okay, so now that you know what 610 Saturdays are you can purchase your tickets for this coming Saturday, April 12 – the first 610 Saturday event, of the year. For the Saturday game against the Minnesota Twins, which also marks the debut of the new powder blue jerseys, fans visiting the 610 Saturdays zone will be treated to a live remote with 610 Sports on-air personality Nick Wright of the “What’s Wright” show, activities for kids and a special Royals Alumni autograph session – featuring John Wathan, Dennis Leonard, John Mayberry and Frank White – from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Oh, and for that great Saturday promotion, the first 20,000 fans on April 12 will receive their own Billy Butler No. 16 Powder Blue Replica Jersey, courtesy of FSN Kansas City. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday at The K! Posted on April 5, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Discover the intriguing history of Mossel Bay by driving around the seafaring city and then exploring a museum complex dedicated to the first European to land in South Africa.Departing from the pier, you will begin an enlightening drive around Mossel Bay, a beach-blessed city in the shadow of the Outeniqua Mountains. A Dutch explorer named the bay in 1601 when he found a huge collection of mussel shells in a nearby cave. The area is still known for its mussels. In fact, seafood and water-based activities such as surfing are major draws.Driving around the charming streets of Mossel Bay, you will learn that South Africa’s first post office was established here centuries ago when sailors left letters in the cleft of a milkwood tree so that other sailors could deliver them on their journeys. Now a national monument, the 500-year-old tree stands near the Dias Museum complex. It is named for Portuguese navigator Bartholomeu Dias, the first European to set foot in South Africa while searching for a spice route to the Far East.During your time at the museum complex you may see the Maritime Museum, where a replica of Dias’ ship is on exhibit, as well as early maps and navigation instruments. The building was once a granary and sawmill. There is also an intriguing Shell Museum and aquarium there. Following your visit at the complex, you will rejoin your coach and transfer back to the pier.Please note: There is an approximately 1-hour easy walk through the grounds of the Dias Museum complex which can be arranged with the guide not to participate in. There are a few steps to negotiate and ramps are available for wheelchair guests. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5427 | {"url":

Albert Hammond’s ‘The Peacemaker’ hung on to the number 1 position for a second week running which meant we had a new record of 14 straight weeks with a male solo artist at the top of our charts. In fact 14 was the important number for men this week as that was the number of the top 20 songs that were testosterone fuelled. This 14 out of 20 hits being by men equalled the record to date.
‘Little Jimmy’ by Gwynneth Ashley-Robin was the biggest climber this week as it jumped 7 from 20 to 13. Little Jimmy (Osmond), the subject of the song, had managed to be the biggest mover up in a week twice, but had never managed a 7 place leap (his best was 4 places).
B.W. Stevenson had been the biggest faller in a week twice with his hit ‘Shambala’ and now he managed it again with ‘My Maria’ which dropped 4 places from 12 to 16.
The 18 weeks Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ had spent on the charts made it the oldest in the top 20. The Sweet’s ‘Ballroom Blitz’ and Johnny Gibson’s ‘My Daddy Was A Rock ‘N Roll Man’ on 15 weeks were the second oldest.
We lost 2 local songs this week, the first of which was The Rising Son’s ‘Going Down Jordan’ which had spent 16 weeks on the charts and peaked at 7. To date only Elvis Presley’s ‘Burning Love’ and John Edmond’s ‘Every Day Every Night’ had spent more weeks on the chart and peaked at 7 with those 2 songs spending 17 weeks to get a peak of 7. Overall 4 songs that would peak at 7 would spend more than 16 weeks on the charts, while another 2 would equal Rising Songs 16 weeks. The exit of ‘Going Down Jordan’ from the charts meant that The Rising Sons were finished with the top 20. They had had 4 hits, spent 42 weeks on the charts and had a best peak of 4 (with ‘How Do you Do’).
The second song we said goodbye to was Geli & Billy’s ‘Do You Love Me’ which had been the tied oldest song on the chart last week alongside Tommy Overstreet who was now on 18 weeks. The song had made it to number 2 and spent 17 weeks on the charts. Depending on if you regard Dawn & Tony Orlando as a ‘multi artist’ act (i.e. an act that features more than 1 artist, usually a duet) or not, then Geli & Billy were either 1st or 2nd on the list for highest peak by a ‘multi artist’ song’ Dawn & Tony Orlando’s ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree’ had managed to get to 1 while Geli & Billy managed a number 2.
The first of the new entries was by a band who are very difficult to Google as they named themselves After All. From what I can find out, they were a Dutch band and a guy called Gerrit Trip was the lead singer. Trip spent some time in the band Teach-In who would have a hit in SA in 1975. ‘If You Need Me’ was a cover of a 1963 song written and recorded by Wilson Pickett. Pickett’s version vied for top honours in a US Hot 100 battle with one recorded by Solomon Burke, a battle that Burke won, peaking at 37 compared to Pickett’s 64. The song was also recorded by The Rolling Stones and Tom Jones. Recently After All’s lead singer Gerrit Trip re-recorded the song, which has proved surprisingly popular. This version can be found on Youtube.
The second new entry was Irish born local lad Sean Rennie with his song ‘Charly’ (not a mis-spelt cover of the Rabbitt hit ‘Charlie’ as that hadn’t been written yet). This was Rennie’s second hit, following up his 1970 number 13 hit ‘I’ll Walk With You’. ‘Charly’ was a cover of a song by Spanish band Santabarbara who took the song to number 2 in Switzerland, 5 in Germany, 9 in Holland, 18 in Austria and 22 in Belgium.

Albert Hammond scored his first number 1 as either artist or songwriter as ‘The Peacemaker’ ended David Bowie’s 5 week run at the top with ‘Sorrow’. Hammond’s previous hit as artist (‘The Free Electric Band’) had only managed to get to number 11 and his best effort as songwriter occurred when Joe Dolan’s ‘Make Me An Island’ got to number 2. With Bowie’s 5 week run and Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ which had been at the top for 7 weeks before that, this week saw an equalling of the record to date for consecutive week at 1 by a male solo artist (The George Baker Selection was at 1 before Overstreet).
Last week Ringo Starr’s ‘Photograph’ was at the peak position of his previous hit, ‘It Don’t Come Easy’ which had made it to number 4. This week he improved on his best high to date by jumping up 2 places to number 2.
Elton John said goodbye position 17 as he became rocket man, flying 7 places up the charts to number 10. This was his second time being the biggest climber in a week, emulating the success that ‘Daniel’ had had when it climbed 4 places in a week.
Billy Forrest was 8 hits into his SA chart career (adding up all those under different names and including the current duet with Geli) and this was only the 2nd time he would suffer the indignity of being the biggest faller in week as the aforementioned duet with Geli, ‘Do you Love Me’, fell 4 places from 13 to 17. His previous biggest drop had been with a William E. hit, ‘Papa’s Gonna Kiss It Beter’.
Forrest could take some comfort from the fact that his duet was the oldest song on the chart alongside Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ which had both been on the charts for 17 weeks now. This was the 4th week that these 2 had shared the ‘granddaddy’ honours.
2 weeks back we had seen the bottom 9 songs on the chart being local songs. This week wasn’t quite as dramatic, but the bottom 5 were by local acts. There were a total of 9 songs by local acts on the chart this week.
We said goodbye to Jessica Jones’ ‘Waikiki Man’ which had managed an 11 week run with a peak of 13. This would be the last we saw of Jessica on our charts following a career of 3 hits, 48 weeks and 3 weeks at the top of the charts with ‘Sunday, Monday, Tuesday’. She stood 3rd in terms of weeks on the chart by a local solo female artist and 4th out of all the women.
Her place on the charts was taken by another local solo female artist, Gwynneth Ashley-Robin (born Gwynneth Joubert) who was only 13 years old when her song ‘Little Jimmy’ reached our charts. The song was dedicated to a previous youngster who had charted on our charts, Little Jimmy Osmond. Osmond was himself only 10 when he charted. ‘Little Jimmy’ the song was the 3rd one written by Jody Wayne where he was not the artist performing it. Wayne (who’s ‘The Wonder Of Your Love’ was at number 5 this week) also produced the song. Ashley-Robin was tragically killed in a light aircraft accident in 1976 when she was just 15.

It would be 6 more years before David Bowie would divorce Angela ‘Angie’ Barnett, but Albert Hammond thought he needed to step in between the two of them to be a peacemaker as far back as 1974. This occurred when Bowie’s ‘Sorrow’ spent its 5th week at number 1 and the first of those 5 weeks without the Rolling Stones’ ‘Angie’ at number 2. Despite its title and supposition about which ‘Angie’ the song was about, Mick Jagger denies that it was Angie Bowie, but was rather Keith Richard’s daughter Angela.
Peter Vee’s ‘The Tips Of My Fingers’ was the biggest mover up this week as it climbed 6 places from 18 to 12. This would be the only time he would have the biggest mover up in a week. His previous biggest jump up was 4 places (with ‘Can We Get To That’) but that was beaten that week by a 6 place jump by Barbara Ray’s ‘Silver Threads And Golden Needles’.
This biggest fall this week was 6 places and this was experienced by Richard Jon Smith’s ‘Sweet Mama’ and Jessica Jones’ ‘Waikiki Man’. Neither of these 2 artists were strangers to this fate as they had both experienced it twice before and in both cases they were with different songs.
The age of the oldest songs on the chart was steadily climbing up as Tommy Overstreet and Geli & Billy’s hits moved on to 16 weeks in the top 20. Overstreet would have to make the most of this as ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ would be his only SA hit. The team of Geli & Billy (Angelika Illman and Billy Forrest) would have another hit.
The artists represented this week would account for a total of 127 hits by the time the charts finished in 1989. This would be the 4th highest total number of hits that the artists on a particular week’s chart would have in total. The acts represented here would average 5.8 hits each.
The local count took a knock as the 2 songs that left the charts were by South African acts. Both were replaced by international acts. The first of the leavers was Lorne Shields’ ‘Turn Back The Clock’ which had lasted 6 weeks on the charts and peaked at number 14. This would be the only top 20 hit for Shields. This put him tied 54th on the list of weeks on the chart by a local artist.
Four Jacks & A Jill were not too much further up that list as their only hit between 1969 and 1989, ‘Universal Feeling’ departed after 10 weeks and a peak of 11, leaving them at number 39 on the weeks by a local act list.
The first of the new entries was the title track from Elton John’s ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’. The song was co-written by Elton and Bernie Taupin and was their 3rd hit as a songwriting team. The ‘yellow brick road’ referred to the one that Dorothy in ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ was told to follow. The song topped the Canadian charts as well as the Cashbox charts in the US, but only made it to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, the latter generally being acknowledged as the official US charts. In the UK it was his 7th song to chart and joined 5 of the previous 6 in going top 10 there, peaking as it did at 6. It was only 1972’s ‘Honky Cat’ which missed the top 10, peaking as it did at 31. ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ marked the end of his UK top 10 hit run and he would not have another one for the next 8 hits, the 9th one after ‘Goodbye…’, ‘Pinball Wizard’ would return him to the top 10 there.
The other new entry was the (then) husband and wife team of Ike & Tina Turner with their hit ‘Nutbush City Limits’. This would be the last song they would record together and it refers to Tina’s hometown of Nutbush, Tennessee. The song topped the charts in Austria, made 2 in Germany and Switzerland, 4 in the UK, 5 in Italy, 18 in Ireland and 22 in the US.

‘Sorrow’ and ‘Angie’ remained at 1 and 2 respectively for the 4th week in a row with Albert Hammond’s ‘The Peacemaker’ applying the pressure to break their stranglehold on the top of the charts as the latter climbed 4 places to number 3.
Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ was the only previous number 1 on the charts this week and had been since George Baker Selection’s ‘Baby Blue’ was last seen on the charts 3 weeks back. The previous time when there was only 1 ex-number 1 on the chart was on 23 March 1973 when Lobo’s ‘I’d Love You To Want Me’ was at number 6 and was the only song on the chart that had already made the top spot other than the number 1 that week.
Ringo Starr’s ‘Photograph’ along with Richard Jon Smith’s ‘Sweet Mama’ both climbed 6 places to be the biggest climbers this week. This was the second week running that ‘Photograph’ had claimed this honour and it was only the second song by an ex-Beatle so far to manage the biggest climb twice. Only Paul had now not managed to be the biggest climber in the week (with any song) more than once. For Richard Jon Smith it was his 4th time as biggest climber in a week having managed it with all his charting hits to date (twice with ‘That’s Why I Love You’).
There were 2 songs that shared the honours for biggest drop this week as Four Jacks & A Jill’s ‘Universal Feeling’ and David Cassidy’s ‘Daydreamer’ both fell 4 places to 17 and 7 respectively. For both acts this was their first time with that sinking feeling and only Cassidy would go on to have a biggest faller again.
There was no change in the oldest songs on the charts as both Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ and Geli & Billy’s ‘Do You Love Me’ ticked over to 15 weeks in the top 20. The Rising Sons ‘Going Down Jordan’ had clocked up the second highest number of weeks as it moved on to 14.
The bottom 9 songs this week were all by local acts, but we still had 11 local songs on the charts despite Lance James’ ‘What’s Your Mama’s Name Child’ falling off after a 5 week run and a peak of 17.
The reason for keeping the lekker local level at ‘leven hits (apart from getting some groovy alliteration going) was that the new entry to replace ‘What’s You Mama’s name Child’ was local act Peter Vee with his hit ‘The Tips Of My Fingers’. This was Vee’s 3rd solo hit (having charted previously as a member of The Outlet) and it followed up his hit from July/August 1973, ‘He (Can Build A Mountain’. ‘The Tips Of My Fingers’ was a cover of a 1960 hit written and performed by Bill Anderson. He took his version to number 7 on the Country Singles charts in the US. 3 years later, Roy Clark took a cover to number 10 on the Country Singles and number 45 on the main Billboard Hot 100 there. Bill Anderson would chart in South Africa in 1975 as part of a duet with Jan Howard.

For the 4th year in a row, the number 1 song that ended the previous year was the chart topper in the first week of the new year as David Bowie’s ‘Sorrow’ hung on to its place at the top for a third week in a row. ‘Angie’ by the Rolling Stones, which had been ‘Sorrow’’s number 2 the whole time the latter had been on top, was still lurking a place behind.
Ringo Starr managed the biggest leap to date by an ex-Beatle as ‘Photograph’ jumped 9 places up from 19 to 10. The previous biggest by an ex-Beatle was John Lennon’s ‘Mother’ which climbed 8 in a week. John would be the only other ex-Beatle to manage a leap of 9 places in a week and would do so in 1975. None of the fab four would jump more than 9 places in a week. This was the first time Ringo had been the biggest climber in a week and all 4 of the Beatles had now managed this as solo artists and they accounted for 6 of the biggest climbers in a week to date.
Lorne Shields provided the 33rd occasion when the biggest faller in a week was local as his ‘Turn Back the Clock’ did what it said on the tin and dropped 4 places to number 18 where the song had sat on 14 December 1973, 3 weeks previously.
The oldest songs on the chart were comparatively ‘young’, having only been on the top 20 for 14 weeks. Geli & Billy’s ‘Do you Love Me’ and Tommy Overstreet’s ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ took over as the oldest on the charts this week following the departure of Tommy Oliver’s ‘I Wanna Live’ (more on that later). The last time we had seen a 14 week or younger song as the oldest on the charts was back in June of 1972 when Neil Reid’s ‘Mother Of Mine’ was just 13 weeks old (Neil himself was just 13 years old when his song charted). Geli & Billy’s ‘Do You Love Me’ was the 20th local song to date to get to be the oldest on the chart.
There were still 11 local songs on the charts, 8 of which made up the bottom 8 positions of the top 20 while Johnny Gibson was the highest placed at number 5 with ‘My Daddy Was A Rock ‘N Roll Man’.
Tommy Oliver’s ‘I Wanna Live’ fell off the charts after 17 weeks and a peak of 3. This was the 7th of 15 local songs that would end up with a peak of 3.
In the place Tommy Oliver, we had a new entry by a local act which kept the local content of the chart at 11 hits. ‘Sweet Mama’ was Richard Jon Smith’s 3rd hit, following up the success of his number 2 hit, ‘That’s Why I Love You’. As with ‘That’s Why…’, ‘Sweet Mama’ was also penned by Smith himself and both used the production talents of Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange.
We now had 3 local songs in the chart with the word ‘mama’ in their title (Smith’s ‘Sweet Mama’, Alan Garrity’s ‘Good-bye Mama’ and Lance James’ ‘What’s Your Mama’s Name Child’).

Posted on April 10, 2014 by musicstats Standard 2
We have now gone through 5 years’ worth of charts and it’s time to recap on what happened in 1973 and where things stood for the period from the beginning of 1969 to the end of ’73.
The number of hits to charts in the year continued the trend of falling each year as 1973 saw only 104 different songs make the top 20. This was way down on the 150 we saw in 1969. The steady progression downwards of number of hits is shown as follows:
The number of different acts charting this year was 85, 12 less than the previous year.
On the local front, we saw 39 songs by South African acts charting which was 10 more than 1972, but fell 2 short of the 1971 total of 41 which was the record to date. 30 acts were responsible for these 39 hits.
Based on a points system of 20 points for a number 1 position, 19 for number 2 etc down to 1 for position 20, the following are the top 20 chart performers for the year (Note: this does not reflect sales):
We Believe In Tomorrow
Freddy Breck
Woman (Beautiful Woman)
Don Gibson
I Don’t Wanna Play House
Barbara Ray
Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree
Dawn & Tony Orlando
Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet
Never Never Never
Can’t Keep It In
Kentucky Blues
Lauren Copley
I’d Love You To Want Me
The Love In Your Eyes
George Baker Selection
Take Me To The Mardi Gras
Dickey Lee
That’s Why I Love You
I Wanna Live
Tommy Oliver
Maori Love Song
Maureen Mcgovern
And I Love You So
You can compare this to the list published in Top 40 magazine in 1989 which can be found here:
http://www.rock.co.za/files/sahits_1973.html
The cumulative points from the beginning of 1969 to the end of 1973 gave the following top 5:
I Need Someone
Johnny Nash
Staccatos
Peter Maffay
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
The top South African hits of 1973 were:
NUMBER OF HITS
The highest number of hits by an artist in 1973 was 3 and 2 acts managed this – Alan Garrity and The Sweet. This was well down on the record 5 in a year which The Archies and The Bee Gees had managed in 1969, Neil Diamond had managed in 1971 and Middle Of The Road managed in 1972. 15 acts managed 2 hits in 1973 and the remaining 68 were all the only hit by those artists in the year.
Alan Garrity’s 3 hits mentioned above was the best for a local act while Barbara Ray, Lauren Copley, Maria, Richard Jon Smith, The Dealians, Letta Mbulu and Jessica Jones all managed 2 hits.
To date, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 11 hits was still the best by any act, despite the band’s last hit being in 1972. Billy Forrest (highest local act), Neil Diamond, The Archies and Percy Sledge all sat on 8. Dave Mills and John Edmond on 6 hits apiece were the next best locals behind Billy Forrest.
WEEKS ON THE CHARTS
Maria became the 2nd local act to clock up the most weeks on the chart in a year and the first solo female of any nationality to do so as she spent a total of 40 weeks in the charts in 1973 (2 hits in the same week count as 2 weeks). This was quite a way off the record to date in a year of 58 weeks which Middle Of The Road managed in 1972. The previous local act to spend the most time in the charts in a year was in 1970 when Peanut Butter Conspiracy took that honour with 39. Maria’s effort was the highest by a local act to date and would end up being the second highest overall for a local act.
In second place for 1973 was another local woman, Barbara Ray who managed 34 weeks. Third was the top international act, Vicky Leandros on 32 weeks and the highest placed male was at 4, Lobo on 30 weeks.
Creedence Clearwater Revival still topped the list for overall weeks from 1969 to 1973 as they sat on 119. The Sweet were second with 90 and Middle Of The Road third on 80. Dave Mills was still the top local act as he had 74 weeks under his belt and stood in 5th place overall. Barbara Ray on 66 weeks was the second highest local act and the highest placed female overall.
Freddy Breck’s ‘We Believe In Tomorrow’ was the song which spent the longest time on the charts this year as it managed 25. Barbara Ray’s ‘I Don’t Wanna Play House’ was the highest local act on 22 weeks and she shared top honours for a woman with Shirley Bassey’s ‘Never Never Never’. 22 weeks was the 3rd highest total for a song this year.
NUMBER 1’s
We saw 13 different songs top the charts in 1973 and these were by 13 different acts which meant that for the second year running we had no acts score more than 1 number 1 in the year. Chris Andrews’ 3 chart toppers in 1970 was still the best for a year. Three of the number 1s in 1973 were by local acts, ‘I Don’t Wanna Play House’ by Barbara Ray (6 weeks), ‘Kentucky Blues’ by Lauren Copley (4 weeks) and ‘Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet’ by Maria (4 weeks).This was the second year running that we had not seen a local male top our charts.
For the period from 1969 to 1973, 3 acts had managed 3 number 1’s, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Chris Andrews and The Hollies.
On the song front Tommy Overstreet’s 7 week run at number 1 with ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ was the best for 1973. Johnny Nash’s 12 week run at the top in 1972 was the best still the best in a year and the 13th week the song spent at the top of the charts in the first week of 1973 made it the all time best for a song.
FEMALE ACTS
This was the best year to date for female artists with them accounting for 18 of the 104 song to chart in 1973 which was 4 better than the previous best of 14 in 1971. There were 12 artists who accounted for these 18 songs, 6 of which had 2 hits each and the remaining 6 had 1. There were still no female artists to have more than 2 hits in a year, but the 6 who managed 2 this year was a best to date and 5 of the 6 were local with Vicky Leandros being the only non-local woman to achieve the 2 hits. The local woman who managed this were Barbara Ray, Jessica Jones, Lauren Copley, Letta Mbulu and Maria.
For the second year running we had 4 female chart toppers which was the best to date. The songs by women that made the top were: ‘I Don’t Wanna Play House’ by Barbara Ray; ‘Never Never Never’ by Shirley Bassey; ‘Kentucky Blues’ by Lauren Copley’ and ‘Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet’ by Maria. With the exception of ‘I Don’t Wanna Play House’ all the others spent 4 weeks at the top of the charts while Barbara Ray’s hit managed 6. We were yet to see a solo female artist have a second number 1 hit.
Barbara Ray led the way in terms of number of hits to date as she had managed to chart with 5 different songs. Vicky Leandros, Jessica Jones and Lauren Copley were next on the list with3 hits each.
The top solo female songs for 1972 based on the points system described above were:
To date, the top 5 songs by females based on the points system were:
Come What May (Aka Aprés Toi)
It’s Too Late Now
Aside from artists from the UK and US (who tend to dominate most charts worldwide), and local acts the following are the top hits from other nationalities:
Gilbert O’ Sullivan
To date the rest of the world top hits were:
Nationaility
Danyel Gerard
For the first time, the local acts had more hits than any other nationality as they accounted for 39 of the songs that charted in 1973. The Americans were in second place with 28, followed by the Brits with 25. This was the second best year to date for the local acts, second to 1971 when they managed to chart with 41 songs. Germany Greece and Ireland all managed 2 hits while Australia, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand and Sweden all managed 1.
To date we had seen hits by 19 different nationalities with the US leading the way having accounted for 189 of them. The UK were in second place on 186 and the South African acts followed on 134. From the rest of the world we had had 13 German, 11 Canadian, 8 Dutch and 7 from Ireland and Jamaica.
WHAT DIDN’T CHART
In terms of following the UK and US charts, 1973 was not a year in which we took to the songs that made number 1 in those 2 countries during the year, in fact of the 30 songs that made it to number 1 in the UK or the US, only ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree’ by Dawn topped both (as well as all topping the SA charts) no other song made both that year. The US or UK number 1′s that didn’t even make top 20 in SA were:
The Most Beautiful Girl
Half-Breed
Touch Me in the Morning
The Twelfth of Never
Keep on Truckin’ (Part 1)
Eddie Kendricks
I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am!)
I Love You Love Me Love
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)
Midnight Train to Georgia
Gladys Knight & the Pips
We’re an American Band
Grand Funk
Let’s Get It On
Peters and Lee
Eye Level (Theme From The Thames TV Series Van Der Valk)
Simon Park Orchestra
Cum On Feel the Noize
Skweeze Me Pleeze Me
Merry Xmas Everybody
Brother Louie
Can the Can
Love Train
O’Jays
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Vicki Lawrence
See My Baby Jive
Wizzard
Angel Fingers (A Teen Ballad)
CHARTING IN CONSECUTIVE YEARS
The Bee Gees were the only act who had had a hit in the charts for at least 1 week in every year since 1969 with 10 acts missing out in only 1 of the 5 years we have looked at so far. Of those acts whose first hit was in 1970, 4 of them had gone on to chart in ‘71,’72 and ’73. These were The Dealians, John Edmond, Giorgio and The Rising Sons
On the songwriting front, Terry Dempsey led the way this year, scoring 4 hits writing for Lauren Copley, Peter Lotis, Dave Mills and David Cassidy. Daniel Moore was second on 3 hits, although 2 of them were the 2 versions of ‘Shambala’ that charted by B.W. Stevenson and Three Dog Night. Moore’s other hit was ‘My Maria’ which was performed by B.W. Stevenson. 11 more songwriters had credits on 2 hits this year. Dempsey and Moore’s 1973 effort was a way off the best in a year, a record which Dempsey held for his 8 hits in 1971
No songwriter managed to have more than 1 number 1 hit which meant that the weeks at 1 title for 1973 went to the writer of the song that spent the most weeks at the top of the chart and that honour went to S.K. Dobbins who penned ‘Heaven Is My Woman’s Love’ which Tommy Overstreet took to the top of the charts for 7 weeks.
To date, Terry Dempsey was way out in front for number of hits, having written or co-written 22 songs that charted. Jeff Barry on 13 was second and the songwriting team of Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway were third on 12. Unsurprisingly Dempsey led the way for weeks on the chart, having accumulated 236 with Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty second on 119 weeks. Jeff Barry followed with 106.
Dempsey and Fogerty were alongside Chris Andrews and Geoff Stephens at the top for number of number 1s as they had all managed 3, However it was Irwin Levine and Russell Brown who led the way for weeks at 1 as they had written 2 of Dawn’s chart toppers (‘Knock Three Times’ and ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree’) and accumulated 18 weeks at the top.
That’s it for 1973, so on we go to 1974.

The year ended with David Bowie at the top of the charts with ‘Sorrow’ which was enjoying a second week at 1. The Rolling Stones were at number 2 with ‘Angie’. Years later, Bowie and Mick Jagger (the lead singer of the Rolling Stones if you have not been on this planet for the past 50 odd years) would team up for the top 20 hit, ‘Dancing In The Street’.
Albert Hammond’s ‘The Peacemaker’ was the pacemaker this week as it shot up the charts, climbing 10 places from 20 to 10. Hammond had managed to be the biggest climber in a week with his previous hit ‘The Free Electric Band’, giving him a 100% record so far of attaining this with his hits as an artist, however, he only managed it once with the 4 other songs that had charted where he had a credit as songwriter and that was with Joe Dolan’s ‘Make Me An Island’.
Tommy Oliver’s ‘I Wanna Live’ became the 71st song by a local artist to be the biggest faller in the week as it dropped 6 places from 9 to 15. This was the second time the song had been the biggest dropper in a week. The good news for Oliver was that his song took on the mantle of oldest song in the charts as it clocked up its 17th week.
The reason for ‘I Wanna Live’ becoming the oldest song on the charts was that the previous oldest song, George Baker Selection’s ‘Baby Blue’ vacated the top 20. It had spent 17 weeks on the charts and enjoyed 3 of those at the top. This was the 21st time a song had dropped off the charts from within the top 10 as it had been at number 10 last week. To date the highest position to fall out of the charts from was 8 which Leapy Lee’s ‘Little Yellow Aeroplane’ had done in August 1969. Only 5 more songs would drop out from within the top 10 and one of them would be from a higher position than the number 8 spot mentioned above.
Also leaving the charts was Barbara Ray’s ‘Funny Face’ which had managed a 12 week run and peaked at 3. In terms of weeks, this was her 3rd best effort (out of 5 hits), but it was her second highest peak to date.
Lionel Petersen’s first solo hit also fell out of the top 20 this week. He had managed a 7 week run and a peak of 12. We would be hearing quite a bit more from him in the next few years.
The first of the new entries was actually listed as being by Benny & Bjorn + Anna & Frieda, but they became better known as Abba. South Africa was one of the first countries outside of Europe to take to this new pop sensation who would gain a huge following in 1974 when their song ‘Waterloo’ would win the Eurovision song competition. Their first UK hit (‘Waterloo’) only charted on 20 April 1974, nearly 4 months after ‘Ring Ring’ entered our charts. The Swedish version of the song topped the chart in their native Sweden and the English version managed a number 2 peak there. The song also topped the Belgium charts and made number 2 in Austria and Norway. It finally made the UK charts in July 1974 and got to number 32.
The three other ex-Beatles had all had 2 hits on the charts so far, but until this week, Ringo had only managed 1. His second hit, ‘Photograph’ was our second new entry this week. Ringo had had 4 hits in the UK before ‘Photograph’ charted there, but only ‘It Don’t Come Easy’ had made it onto our top 20. Ringo shared songwriting credits with fellow ex-Beatle George Harrison and the song went to number 1 in Australia, Canada and the US. In Australia, it knocked Suzi Quatro’s ‘48 Crash’ off the top spot there while in the UK it only made it to number 8.
Last of the new entries was Alan Garrity’s 4th hit to date. ‘Good-bye Mama’ was an English translation of a German song which had the same English title, but the bulk of the lyrics were in German. An English born singer, Ireen Sheer took the German version of the song to number 5 in Germany and 2 in Switzerland. (Sheer hailed from Basildon in Essex, England, the home town of Depeche Mode). Judging by the writing credits, it was Garrity himself who translated the lyrics into English.
With Barbara and Lionel leaving the chart and Garrity arriving, the local content dropped from the record level of 12 to a still very respectable 11.

NFL Recap – Week 12
49ers NFL Raiders Sports Houston Texans 34 - Detroit Lions 31
On Thanksgiving Day, the Houston Texans faced the Detroit Lions and the Lions jumped out to a 21-14 lead in the first half. In the third quarter the Texans' Justin Forsett ran for a seven yard and was apparently tackled, but he continued the play and ran for 81 yards and a touchdown. Before the touchdown was reviewed, Lions' head coach Jim Schwartz threw the challenge flag, which is against the rules and allowing the touchdown to stand. At the end of four quarters the two teams were tied and in overtime each team has a chance with a field goal, but each kicker missed, until the Texans' Shayne Graham kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2:21 left in OT to win the game.

Sacred Texts Hinduism Index Previous Next All knowledge is of the Real.
'Those who understand the Veda hold that all cognition has for its object what is real; for.Sruti and Smriti alike teach that everything participates in the nature of everything else. In the scriptural account of creation preceded by intention on the part of the Creator it is said that each of these elements was made tripartite; and this tripartite constitution of all things is apprehended by Perception as well. The red colour in burning fire comes from (primal elementary) fire, the white colour from water, the black colour from earth--in this way Scripture explains the threefold nature of burning fire. In the same way all things are composed of elements of all things. The Vishnu Purâna, in its account of creation, makes a similar statement: "The elements possessing various powers and being unconnected could not, without combination, produce living beings, not having mingled in any way. Having combined, therefore, with one another, and entering into mutual associations--beginning with the principle called Mahat, and extending down to the gross elements--they formed an egg," &c. (Vi. Pu. I, 2, 50; 52). This tripartiteness of the elements the Sûtrakâra also declares
[paragraph continues] (Ve. Sû. III, 1, 3). For the same reason Sruti enjoins the use of Putîka sprouts when no Soma can be procured; for, as the Mîmâmsakas explain, there are in the Putîka plant some parts of the Soma plant (Pû. Mî. Sû.); and for the same reason nîvâra grains may be used as a substitute for rice grains. That thing is similar to another which contains within itself some part of that other thing; and Scripture itself has thus stated that in shells, &c., there is contained some silver, and so on. That one thing is called "silver" and another "shell" has its reason in the relative preponderance of one or the other element. We observe that shells are similar to silver; thus perception itself informs us that some elements of the latter actually exist in the former. Sometimes it happens that owing to a defect of the eye the silver-element only is apprehended, not the shell-element, and then the percipient person, desirous of silver, moves to pick up the shell. If, on the other hand, his eye is free from such defect, he apprehends the shell-element and then refrains from action. Hence the cognition of silver in the shell is a true one. In the same way the relation of one cognition being sublated by another explains itself through the preponderant element, according as the preponderance of the shell-element is apprehended partially or in its totality, and does not therefore depend on one cognition having for its object the false thing and another the true thing. The distinctions made in the practical thought and business of life thus explain themselves on the basis of everything participating in the nature of everything else.'
In dreams, again, the divinity creates, in accordance with the merit or demerit of living beings, things of a special nature, subsisting for a certain time only, and perceived only by the individual soul for which they are meant. In agreement herewith Scripture says, with reference to the state of dreaming, 'There are no chariots in that state, no horses, no roads; then he creates chariots, horses, and roads. There are no delights, no joys, no bliss; then he creates delights, joys, and bliss. There are no tanks, no lakes, no rivers; then he creates tanks, lakes, and rivers.
[paragraph continues] For he is the maker' (Bri. Up. IV, 3, 10). The meaning of this is, that although there are then no chariots, &c., to be perceived by other persons, the Lord creates such things to be perceived by the dreaming person only. 'For he is the maker'; for such creative agency belongs to him who possesses the wonderful power of making all his wishes and plans to come true. Similarly another passage, 'That person who is awake in those who are asleep, shaping one lovely sight after another, that indeed is the Bright, that is Brahman, that alone is called the Immortal. All worlds are contained in it, and no one goes beyond it' (Ka. Up. II, 5, 8).--The Sûtrakâra also, after having in two Sûtras (III, 2, 1; 2) stated the hypothesis of the individual soul creating the objects appearing in dreams, finally decides that that wonderful creation is produced by the Lord for the benefit of the individual dreamer; for the reason that as long as the individual soul is in the samsâra state, its true nature--comprising the power of making its wishes to come true--is not fully manifested, and hence it cannot practically exercise that power. The last clause of the Katha text ('all worlds are contained in it,' &c.) clearly shows that the highest Self only is the creator meant. That the dreaming person who lies in his chamber should go in his body to other countries and experience various results of his merit or demerit--being at one time crowned a king, having at another time his head cut off, and so on--is possible in so far as there is created for him another body in every way resembling the body resting on the bed.
The case of the white shell being seen as yellow, explains itself as follows. The visual rays issuing from the eye are in contact with the bile contained in the eye, and thereupon enter into conjunction with the shell; the result is that the whiteness belonging to the shell is overpowered by the yellowness of the bile, and hence not apprehended; the shell thus appears yellow, just as if it were gilt. The bile and its yellowness is, owing to its exceeding tenuity, not perceived by the bystanders; but thin though it be it is apprehended by the person suffering from jaundice,
to whom it is very near, in so far as it issues from his own eye, and through the mediation of the visual rays, aided by the action of the impression produced on the mind by that apprehension, it is apprehended even in the distant object, viz. the shell.--In an analogous way the crystal which is placed near the rose is apprehended as red, for it is overpowered by the brilliant colour of the rose; the brilliancy of the rose is perceived in a more distinct way owing to its close conjunction with the transparent substance of the crystal.--In the same way the cognition of water in the mirage is true. There always exists water in connexion with light and earth; but owing to some defect of the eye of the perceiving person, and to the mysterious influence of merit and demerit, the light and the earth are not apprehended, while the water is apprehended.--In the case again of the firebrand swung round rapidly, its appearance as a fiery wheel explains itself through the circumstance that moving very rapidly it is in conjunction with all points of the circle described without our being able to apprehend the intervals. The case is analogous to that of the perception of a real wheel; but there is the difference that in the case of the wheel no intervals are apprehended, because there are none; while in the case of the firebrand none are apprehended owing to the rapidity of the movement. But in the latter case also the cognition is true.--Again, in the case of mirrors and similar reflecting surfaces the perception of one's own face is likewise true. The fact is that the motion of the visual rays (proceeding from the eye towards the mirror) is reversed (reflected) by the mirror, and that thus those rays apprehend the person's own face, subsequently to the apprehension of the surface of the mirror; and as in this case also, owing to the rapidity of the process, there is no apprehension of any interval (between the mirror and the face), the face presents itself as being in the mirror.--In the case of one direction being mistaken for another (as when a person thinks the south to be where the north is), the fact is that, owing to the unseen principle (i.e. merit or demerit), the direction which actually exists in the other direction (for a point
which is to the north of me is to the south of another point) is apprehended by itself, apart from the other elements of direction; the apprehension which actually takes place is thus likewise true. Similar is the case of the double moon. Here, either through pressure of the finger upon the eye, or owing to some abnormal affection of the eye, the visual rays are divided (split), and the double, mutually independent apparatus of vision thus originating, becomes the cause of a double apprehension of the moon. One apparatus apprehends the moon in her proper place; the other which moves somewhat obliquely, apprehends at first a place close by the moon, and then the moon herself, which thus appears somewhat removed from her proper place. Although, therefore, what is apprehended is the one moon distinguished by connection with two places at the same time--an apprehension due to the double apparatus of vision--yet, owing to the difference of apprehensions, there is a difference in the character of the object apprehended, and an absence of the apprehension of unity, and thus a double moon presents itself to perception. That the second spot is viewed as qualifying the moon, is due to the circumstance that the apprehension of that spot, and that of the moon which is not apprehended in her proper place, are simultaneous. Now here the doubleness of the apparatus is real, and hence the apprehension of the moon distinguished by connexion with two places is real also, and owing to this doubleness of apprehension, the doubleness of aspect of the object apprehended,i.e. the moon, is likewise real. That there is only one moon constituting the true object of the double apprehension, this is a matter for which ocular perception by itself does not suffice, and hence what is actually seen is a double moon. That, although the two eyes together constitute one visual apparatus only, the visual rays being divided through some defect of the eyes, give rise to a double apparatus--this we infer from the effect actually observed. When that defect is removed there takes place only one apprehension of the moon as connected with her proper place, and thus the idea of one moon only arises. It is at the same time
quite clear how the defect of the eye gives rise to a double visual apparatus, the latter to a double apprehension, and the latter again to a doubleness of the object of apprehension.
We have thus proved that all cognition is true. The shortcomings of other views as to the nature of cognition have been set forth at length by other philosophers, and we therefore do not enter on that topic. What need is there, in fact, of lengthy proofs? Those who acknowledge the validity of the different means of knowledge, perception, and so on, and--what is vouched for by sacred tradition--the existence of a highest Brahman--free from all shadow of imperfection, of measureless excellence, comprising within itself numberless auspicious qualities, all-knowing, immediately realising all its purposes--, what should they not be able to prove? That holy highest Brahman--while producing the entire world as an object of fruition for the individual souls, in agreement with their respective good and ill deserts--creates certain things of such a nature as to become common objects of consciousness, either pleasant or unpleasant, to all souls together, while certain other things are created in such a way as to be perceived only by particular persons, and to persist for a limited time only. And it is this distinction--viz. of things that are objects of general consciousness, and of things that are not so--which makes the difference between what is called 'things sublating' and 'things sublated.'--Everything is explained hereby.

Somalia: Amid Continued Fighting with Al Shabab in the South, Fresh Attacks in Puntland
Posted on December 6, 2012 by Alex Thurston The Islamist militia al Shabab’s home region is southern Somalia, but the group has a presence in Puntland, a semi-autonomous territory in northeastern Somalia. Several of the group’s recent attacks have occurred there.
As Somalia government troops, Kenyan soldiers, and African Union forces have pushed al Shabab out of its urban strongholds in southern Somalia, the UN Monitoring Group on Somalia (.pdf, pp. 15-16) and other analysts have observed a partial shift of the group’s operations into Puntland. In February, a militia based in the Golis hills in Puntland formally joined al Shabab, and al Shabab promised to increase its attacks there. In April, Puntland’s President Abdirahman Farole told the BBC that more al Shabab fighters were moving into his territory. The BBC wrote, “Correspondents say the move of some members to Puntland could signal a significant regrouping for al-Shabab.”
The implications of this reported northward move should not be overblown. Losses through the summer, and the loss of the port city of Kismayo in October, have weakened al Shabab. And al Shabab is still attacking targets and attempting to hold territory in southern and central Somalia – for example, this week has seen “fierce fighting” around Jowhar, a reportedly al Shabab-controlled town north of Mogadishu. But with all that said, al Shabab attacks this week in Puntland will likely draw serious attention to the group’s presence there. The BBC has details:
Puntland Information Minister Mohamed Aydid told the BBC Somali Service that a truck carrying soldiers was targeted by a roadside bomb near Bossaso, the main commercial hub in the semi-autonomous region.
Ten soldiers were either killed or wounded in the attack, he said.
Heavily-armed al-Shabab fighters also launched an assault on a military base in the area, but were repelled by troops, Mr Aydid added.
“They fled to their hide-outs in the Galagalo mountains,” he said.
In a statement, the Puntland government said two of its soldiers were killed in this attack.
Its intelligence suggested that at least seven al-Shabab fighters were killed and more than 12 wounded as Puntland government troops fought back, the statement said.
Garowe has more.

Then there’s issues of sovereignty and how far Puntland would put up with soldiers serving or allied to the Somali government in their territory.

Signs and Signals: Ripple Effect
Cameron Whitlock on the platform where he pulled a man from under a moving TRAX train.
It was two weeks after the new year, and Cameron Whitlock was getting ready to start culinary school. He had a little spare time before his first day of classes began and planned to make a quick stop at home. He stepped off a TRAX train at the Central Point Station on 2100 South and walked across the platform to see when his next train would arrive. His back was to the tracks when he heard the train he had just exited begin to pull away. “Then I heard this ‘thud, thud, thud,’” he recalls. Whitlock flipped around and saw a man fall to the ground, his legs pinned beneath the train. “He kind of rag dolled. As the train moved, he rolled with it.” Noticing the concrete ramp near the end of the platform, which the man surely would have slammed against, Whitlock stepped forward, grabbed the man by the shoulders and pulled him from under the accelerating train. The 59-year-old man was unconscious, and as blood began to gush from the golf-ball sized wound on his forehead, Whitlock called 911. The man lived after days in critical condition. But Whitlock, too, is still carrying around scars. “Nothing was the same after that. I couldn’t sleep or work, and I was in tears every time I was alone,” says Whitlock, who started seeing a psychologist to process what he had seen and what he had done. “I wouldn’t change my actions, but it didn’t just affect that man.”
It’s a feeling Arnold Tomlinson (name changed to protect identity) knows well. He started driving TRAX trains nearly a decade ago, and a few years in, a man jumped onto the rails, intent on ending his life. “The only thing you can do is honk your horn and hit the brake,” he says. “After that, you just deal with it the best you can.” For Tomlinson, coping meant zoning out in front of the TV for three days straight, not sleeping or doing much of anything. “I still suffer a lot of post-traumatic stress over it.” Still, several years later—and as many close calls—Tomlinson continues to drive the trains day in and day out. Knowing that someone could jump in front of him again, or simply slip and fall, comes with the territory, he says. “We know that [just about] everyone will have an incident. You don’t know when and where, [but] you just have to accept the fact that it will be your turn at some point.” The UTA doesn’t like to talk about incidents of suicide, fearing that drawing attention to the deaths would only lead to more. “We have serious concerns about copycat behavior,” Carpenter says. “So we try to educate people about the human side of it. Suicide doesn’t affect just the person killed, [but] their family, the railroad operator, those who responded to it and bystanders who witnessed it. It affects everyone involved.” Next>>Pedestrian and motorist psychology

Special: MWSF ’07 Keynote Commentary
by Eric Schwarz on January 10, 2007This Post Printed From: Rather than writing this yesterday, I decided that I’d let everything sink in and go at it once we got to hear everyone’s thoughts. Well, here’s our take on Apple’s new products.
I think this is a great, much-needed product. It’s slick as hell, not too expensive, and takes advantage of newer technologies. There are only two things that I think could’ve made it better: embedded web tools (either a browser of sorts or Widgets) and connection for cheaper TVs. First, this device is connected to a network, so wouldn’t it be nice if it had something along the lines of Nintendo’s Wii channels. How cool would it be to have Apple’s ultra-slick weather and mapping tools on your TV? Although an on-screen keyboard might be a tad awkward, but I’m sure Apple could’ve made it good. The other is pretty simple: a lot of people still have “standard” TVs with just the composite input for video (we still have at least 2 years until the digital TV-only requirement kicks in over here in the US). People with 4:3 TVs could have a modified interface. Other than that, the idea of a streaming iPod for your TV is pretty neat.
I’m not thrilled with the name, but I’ll live—this product had the reality distortion field cranked up pretty high. The interface on this has the “slickness”, but after the demo, I (and many others) were left wondering if there were any catches.
First, the Cingular partnership confused me since Apple could’ve had more potential customers if they sold an unlocked, unbranded one. You wouldn’t believe how many of my friends who have T-Mobile and Centennial said the wish they could have an iPhone, but don’t want to switch to Cingular (who is almost as un-Apple as Verizon). Apparently the comments in October from T-Mobile were ignored by Apple like some awkward high school relationship.
Second, why is it so expensive? I get that it has a lot of power, but this price makes it higher than almost every other smartphone out there without service. There are plenty of Windows Mobile-based devices with built-in WiFi that you can accomplish many of the same things, but obviously no integration with iTunes. Still, 4GB and 8GB seems a tad small if you’re big on music. It’s tempting to stick with a random Symbian smartphone and a video iPod.
Third, what’s up with the whole Mac OS X built-in news? There are rumors that you can’t add your own software, and it doesn’t particularly look like the “standard” OS X, so why even tout it? Or is Apple trying to get in on the marketing angle that Microsoft has with Windows Mobile?
Fourth, there are a few things I think are missing—removable battery (even my lower-end Motorola has that), synchronization options, IM over your cell carrier or WiFi, and not many “business” programs to allow you to take your work with you.
Finally, don’t get me wrong. I think the iPhone is an awesome product, and we still do have 6 months to actually see what the “finished” version ends up having. Apple did a few excellent things, such as having a matte finish on the back, simple controls, and things that make you go “that’s cool”. On the interface front, this makes almost every product out there look antiquated (I’ve seen some skins for Sony Ericsson not-so-smart-phones that are almost as nice, but with fewer features).
2007 will undoubtedly be a huge year for Apple. Both of these products are outstanding and will probably sell rather well. In some ways, both are out a little too early, but why shouldn’t Apple be the first?
In some ways, I’m reminded of when the iPod first came out. Everyone thought it was going to be a flop, but we know how that ended up. I guess we’ll just have to see where we are in June…

The Science of Architecture
How Building Standards Have Changed Ken Collins Oct 04
With the recent events in Canterbury and Invercargill it looks like the building standards in NZ will again come under close scrutiny.
The suitability of our standards is a valid question and response, especially when our knowledge has recently been increased by the Earthquake and the collapse of the Invercargill sports stadium roof.
The first design standards for earthquake loadings on buildings were introduced in 1935 following the 1931 Napier earthquake. Since then, significant advances in the required design standards have been made with major changes incorporated in 1965 and 1976.
Even more recently the structural design standard NZS 4203:1992 was replaced with NZS 1170 in 2002, with part 3 and part 5 added in 2003 and 2004. However NZS1170 has only been mandatory in the last couple of years, with engineers able to use either 4203 or 1170 up until then.
Certainly the requirements in 1170 are far greater than 4203 and this has increased building costs by quite a bit as additional structure is required to resist wind, snow and earthquake loads.
Previous Lake Angelus Hut
As a practical example of the changes over the years, we were involved in refurbishing a reinforced concrete church built 50 years ago. The Structural Engineer doing the assessment was impressed that the building had been well overdesigned for when it was built. Possibly at 1.5 to 2 times the earthquake strength required for its day.
Despite this the building still only came up to 65% of the current requirements in NZS 1170. However this building is still not deemed to be an earthquake risk, which is set 33% or less of the current standards.
On this basis, the structure required to resist earthquake loads has increased about 4 fold in the last 50 years.
Angelus Hut under snow
Similarly when you look at the requirements for wind and snow loads, some clients have been surprised at what is now being required. We have designed tramping huts to replace some old ones built in the 50s and 60s. Some of these are in high alpine areas with significant loads being imposed. (See the photo below, where there is only 500mm of the roof ridge sticking above the snow, the rest of the hut is completely under snow).
When you look at the existing hut, which has survived storms and the harsh environment for 50 odd years and is still sound, and you see how little timber was used to hold these things together, you wonder how the old buildings survived. Especially compared to the new buildings where there is significant bracing, and timber structure required.
Unfortunately the Stadium Southland failure is a stark reminder of what can happen. I suspect that it will be some time before the full details of what went wrong will be known, and it will be a combination of factors the contributed to the failure.
With snow it is a combination of factors as to how the load gets imposed. Roof shape and slope, the shape or geometry of the structure, the strength of the connections, the types of materials used, the amount of snow, and how long it is there for, all contribute to how well the building structure as a whole performs. It may be that the building was designed to the previous standard, which was deemed suitable 5 years ago, but as we have seen, what was acceptable years ago is now no longer.
New Angelus Hut
Thanks to nature, we now have some real live examples to test the theory and assumptions against. Our building standards will continue to evolve and change as our knowledge improves, and as we have more ’learning experiences’. However it does occur to me that no matter what we do we can never be 100% future proofed against nature.
You can build to resist the shaking induced by the ground acceleration of an earthquake, but you can’t build to resist the ground moving by even 300mm. As we have seen in Canterbury, if the ground doesn’t just shake but permanently shifts up, down, or sideways, it will tear your building apart.

Initial Thoughts on the Canterbury Earthquake Ken Collins Sep 06
Deans Homestead - Photo from stuff.co.nz
The big earthquake in Canterbury last weekend has certainly reminded us just how shaky our isles are, in dramatic fashion. While our thoughts are with all of those affected, and we are all grateful that there has been no loss of life, the quake has exposed — very graphically — just how buildings react to a big shake.
For many years the bracing and structural requirements for buildings in New Zealand have been increasing. As new research is carried out, so the values that our buildings need to meet have increased. Our scientists have also created world leading developments. (I was going to say ground breaking developments, but that isn’t quite appropriate at the moment). Dr Bill Robinson created the base isolators used on many important buildings both here and overseas, as an example.
However, the location of this quake has certainly surprised many scientists. Certainly the current NZ Standard for light timber framed construction (NZS 3604) that is most often used for building houses, shows that Christchurch is a medium earthquake zone, while Lyttleton and Timaru are in a low earthquake zone. I suspect that the current review of NZS 3604 will be reviewed again as the results of this quake are analysed.
Obviously it is far too early to draw conclusions as to the technical details of what has happened, however initial observations from the photos and news reports show that there are some things you can plan for, and others you can’t.
It is pleasing to see that many of the buildings that have been earthquake strengthened have survived mostly intact. You are never 100% sure how well any remedial work will perform. Now that it has worked it is a pleasing result. Plus any failures will add to the knowledge base on what needs to be done better next time.
As would be expected, the buildings with the greatest damage are those built using un-reinforced double or triple skin brick construction, or even solid stone construction. This is a common form of construction in England, however it is not such a good idea in shaky NZ. Unfortunately many of these buildings were also regarded as some of our historic heritage, and now they are lost forever.
While a great many buildings have survived with minimal damage, the things you can’t plan for are where a fault ruptures the ground directly under your building, or (to some extent) where liquefaction turns the ground to quicksand.
While most buildings have coped with the ground shaking (to greater or lesser degrees), it is where the ground has moved differentially and permanently that has torn some places apart. You can see where the ground has moved sideways. It has opened up in a crack or heaved up in a mound. What were straight fences now have a 2 metre offset. And so, it is that sort of an offset, when it opens directly under you that is catastrophic for any building. Science does not know where these will appear and there is no way to plan or avoid this sort of action.
Liquefaction on the other hand has had a lot of research done into how it happens, and the types of soils that are susceptible to it. The images of buildings having subsided with large areas of sand around them, and residents reports of water gushing up from the ground all indicate that this was the likely cause of the damage.
The GNS Science web site describes liquefaction occurring when – ’water logged sediments are agitated by seismic shaking. This separates the grains from each other, reducing their load bearing capacity. Buildings and other structures can sink down into the ground or tilt over, whilst underground pipes may rise up to the surface. When the vibrations stop the sediments regain their solidity once more.’
There are known techniques for reducing the likelihood of a building sinking in such an event, however relating the known science to a specific piece of ground is not as exact as many would like. For example it is suspected that because much of the Hutt Valley (in Wellington) is on old river planes, these areas will liquefy in a big shake. Many buildings therefore have piles extending down through the river gravels and onto hard rock.
However, what isn’t fully known is how big a shake it will take for the ground to liquefy, to what extent it will happen, what the exact areas of soil that will liquefy are, or what extent of structural work is required to mitigate the effects.
Again, it would appear that because Christchurch was not previously assessed as a high earthquake risk, then some areas that were built on were not expected to liquefy as they have.
As the clear up and the rebuilding begins, look for numerous reports in coming months as the scientists describe what has happened, and the engineers look for ways to counteract the awesome forces created by moving ground.

Building Materials That Kill Bacteria Ken Collins Aug 23
In an effort to control the spread of bacteria (that are harmful to humans), the science world is always coming up with some interesting innovations. This now includes additives to building materials that will kill bacteria, including the dreaded MRSA strain.
Antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal powdercoating has been available commercially for a few years, and now scientists have developed an additive for paint that targets only staph bacteria.
The innovation comes in how these materials can provide lasting protection, despite some surfaces like door handles and handrails getting a lot of human interaction.
In the case of the powdercoating, the manufacturers have added silver ions to the powder coating material and found a way to keep the ions distributed through the coating once it is applied and heat fused onto the (typically metal) substrate. Powdercoating is often used as the aesthetic and protective coating on metals, such as handrails, door handles, window and door frames, furniture frames, equipment frames, etc.
Silver in various forms and silver ions have long been known to act as a natural antibiotic, dating back centuries, although it has fallen in and out of favour over time as medical knowledge has changed. The silver ions interrupt the replication ability of proteins within the bacteria, making them inactive. Having done testing for effectiveness and gaining US FDA and EPA approvals for food contact, the company that makes this powdercoating is now promoting it for use where ever you want to stop the possible spread of bacteria.
The paint additive, was discussed here and is reported to kill MRSA without the use of antibiotics. Using carbon nanotubes bound with lysostaphin, it is the lysostaphin that does the damage.
The report identifies that lysostaphin is a naturally occurring enzyme used by non-pathogenic strains of Staph bacteria to defend against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA. Lysostaphin works by first attaching itself to the bacterial cell wall and then slicing open the cell wall. That means it’s a highly-targeted substance – in fact, it only destroys staph bacteria.
This looks to work well in the lab, but it has yet to be turned into a commercially available product.
Although we have had fungicidal paint for some time, and it is sometimes used in high humidity areas, the concept of using building materials, or in this case entire wall surfaces, to act as an anti bacterial agent is certainly an interesting development. On the face of it the advantages could be many, especially if it means that the building environment is helping to reduce the number of places harmful bacteria can sit and be transferred from person to person.
However, a concern that has been expressed is the evolutionary process, where we have already seen bacteria become resistant to some commonly used antibiotics. If these products are widely used, will bacteria evolve to become resistant to the active parts of these building products? Only time will tell.

Fit for Purpose? Ken Collins Aug 05
This recent article on The Herald web site highlights how careful we all need to be when trying to contain things in a secure laboratory environment. While I don’t know the specific details of this particular facility or the event that was investigated, it does highlight that the success of any laboratory is the interaction between the buildings features and the procedures used to operate it.
All scientific buildings need to be built to minimum standards, and depending on the use of the building, those standards demand different features to be incorporated. However, to ensure that the building provides the environment needed, the management regime needs to be carefully considered to ensure the correct features are provided.
A couple of illustrations to demonstrate this.
The standard says all surfaces must be able to be wiped down with disinfectant. If the operating procedure calls for the use of a typically used, every day product then the walls, floors and other surfaces can be made of relatively standard materials, so long as they are smooth and water resistant. If on the other hand the operating procedure calls for the use of a strong alkaline solution at very high temperature, then the building and the fittings need to be constructed of entirely different materials.
As another example, the standard says the lab needs to be fumigated. If the management system determines that you are going to close off that area and clear out all people, then the building features are relatively straight forward. If on the other hand you want to be able to keep staff working in the adjacent room, with a pressure differential between the rooms, then the building structure and the mechanical plant required is significantly different.
Although both systems are suitable for the same science being done, one is significantly more inconvenient and time consuming than the other. One is also cheaper than the other.
You can then see the potential problems where you change the management system later on, and the building environment may not cope too well.
It is equally true in the reverse, where a time consuming or limiting operating procedure could be significantly improved by changing some of the building features, so as to allow greater ease of use.
It is human nature to take short cuts where an operating procedure is overly complicated or an impediment to doing their work.
Therefore a comfortable balance needs to be struck of features, environment and usability. Careful consideration of (what usually boils down to) cost vs benefit needs to be taken during the design stage of any new or refurbished facility. It also needs just as much consideration when changing the use of an existing facility. Especially when you consider the total life cycle costs and operational costs.
For any scientific facility to be successful, the building needs to have the right features, that match how it is going to be used. Then these two together need to be suitable so that the users are able to (and want to) do their science (work) in that way.

Intelligent Buildings? Ken Collins Jul 12
1 Comment Tweet
Modern buildings have a lot of technology that goes into them. From the development of the products they are built from, to the systems that allow us to live, work, and play in them. The rate of technology uptake into our new buildings is surging up every year, especially when it comes to entertainment systems and power control.
However one area where the uptake has been lagging, is automation of the building itself. There are many — mainly commercial buildings — that have computers to control heat and ventilation, opening or closing louvers automatically, not to mention air conditioning systems with some advanced control systems.
But it was this article on an “Intelligent house” that caught our eye in the office. Extending the technology interface between building and control system where it features a prototype climate control system with sensors in the floor and walls to measure the temperature. The information is sent to a server, which can then open or close windows to keep the temperature comfortable. The system is also connected to a weather station which can predict the weather for several days.
To see these features being built into a house is unusual, and the climate control system is described as being a prototype. But why is this? Why (on the whole) is this sort of technology not being developed and marketed widely as the next step up from passive insulation and energy efficient heaters?
The article doesn’t indicate what the cost of the system is, although I imagine if it is a prototype, it won’t be cheap. All home owners look for the payback on anything more than the minimum, it is possible this system has a very, very, long payback.
Or could it be that the idea of a computer controlling parts of your house, including opening and closing external openings, is at odds with our ideas on security, and our fears of someone being able to hack in? (Both in a digital sense and the good old analogue way with a crowbar).
May be we just don’t like the idea of closing all the windows, leaving the house, walking back in and opening the windows again, every time something goes wrong with the system.
What ever the reasons, there is still along way to go with technology integration into our buildings, and more specifically our houses. And the integration of the various independent systems into a unified system.

Houston — You have a problem….. Ken Collins Jun 25
It’s nice to know, well actually a little worrying to know, that New Zealand building owners aren’t the only ones to neglect maintenance work on their buildings.
A recent article in New Scientist Magazine (15 May 2010) had a small piece on the problems faced by NASA. Yes, even the best let their major assets deteriorate.
With NASA again expected to develop new technologies for space flight, a report to the US National Research Council identifies that may of their labs, including wind tunnels, need repairs and upgrades. With the exception of a new science building at Goddard, over 80 percent of the research laboratories at these facilities are more than 40 years old and need significant annual maintenance and upgrades. Some apparently don’t even have adequate electricity or heat. Clearing the overall repair and maintenance backlog is estimated at US$ 2.46 billion! Up from US$ 1.77 billion in 2004.
Another posting at Parabolicarc.com discusses the issues here.
A BRANZ study in 2005 into the condition of New Zealand housing stock showed that in order to repair and maintain significant defects an average of $3700 per house was needing to be spent. With between 1.5 and 1.6 million homes in NZ at that time, the total repair bill would be about NZ$ 5.7 billion.

Leaky Buildings — Part 2 — What we now know Ken Collins Jun 08
Following on from my blog on Leaky Buildings – Part 1 -and how we got to where we are, this blog covers some of the science and research that has gone into the building industry as a result.
At this stage I must point out that there are other people with specialist areas of knowledge and research, in what is now quite a wide topic. So, as blogs tend to be, this is more of an overview from my experience, rather than a detailed technical paper.
With all buildings that have ’leaking’ issues, the problem is that water gets into an area it shouldn’t be (most commonly the structural timber frame), the water stays there because it can’t drain or evaporate away. When the timber remains wet (typically above 30% moisture) and relatively warm, these conditions allow fungi to grow, which rots the timber.
The ways that water gets into a building falls into 4 broad categories, with many iterations in between where a combination of these forces are at work.
Gravity: generally a hole that water drips into, or where water is flowing down a cladding (or a flashing) that doesn’t adequately direct the water away, out of the building fabric.
Capillary Action: where water in the ground is soaked up by building materials (including concrete) and transferred along to structural elements over time. This is commonly what is referred to as rising damp. It also happens where water is allowed to pond and hydroscopic materials are soaking in it (or close enough for rain splash to soak the material).
Condensation: the interior of your house is full of water vapour. From cooking, showering, laundering, un-vented gas heaters, and your own hot breath. If this vapour isn’t extracted or vented out of the house then it can condense on cold surfaces. Such as you see on your windows in winter. This also can happen inside your wall if the conditions are right.
Air Pressure: or more specifically a pressure differential. When it is windy there is a higher air pressure on the outside of the building than the inside. This in effect sucks air through any holes, cracks or openings. If it is raining then the water is taken in along with the air flow.
If you think about all the things that can happen in and around our buildings, the number of ways water can get into our buildings are too numerous to mention. It also follows that just because water has got into a building doesn’t mean it is a ’leaky building’ as such, which commonly implies a cladding failure.
The action (or in-action) of owners has always been an issue. All buildings require regular maintenance, and sometimes a bit of good old fashioned TLC is all that is needed to keep the building water tight. A recent article on the Beehive roof leaking is a perfect example of this.
Another classic is for gardens to be built up around the house. If the sub-floor vents are covered this significantly reduces the sub-floor ventilation and the water coming out of the ground under your floor isn’t removed, allowing sub-floor framing to remain wet. If the bottom of the cladding is buried in the soil (or even too close to the ground) then this will allow water to easily wick up into the framing.
There are a number of variables and reasons for condensation to form inside a wall cavity. Relative humidity, air pressures, vapour pressures, and temperature differentials all contribute to where the Dew Point is. This means that in certain circumstances water vapour could be condensing on the timber framing, inside the insulation, on the back of the cladding, or even on the building paper. This is a known cause of some so-called leak problems and rotten timbers.
When people talk about ’Leaky Buildings’ the most common image that comes to mind is of water getting into the timber framing, through a hole in the exterior cladding, and that timber remaining wet. In the early days of the current leaky buildings problem, existing brick veneer and cavity stucco designs were simply adapted to a wider range of claddings. It was recognised that if (when) water gets through a cladding, a cavity between the cladding and the building paper which is attached to the timber framing allows it to either evaporate or to drain away.
Further research has also shown that the reason for this is that cavity helps to equalise the air pressure behind the cladding, and the lack of air flow allows water to drop out and drain away. But of equal importance, it has shown just how effective a cavity is at allowing any moisture to dry out. BRANZ released initial results of it’s research in Build Magazine in June/July 2007.
They found that water dries 100 times faster from the back of the cladding than from inside timber framing, mainly due to how fast water diffuses through timber. When you add in that we are demanding higher levels of insulation and air tightness in our buildings, the ability for wall framing to dry out is further reduced. This unwanted water then tends to evaporate and condense repeatedly until it soaks into the wall materials or migrates inside the building.
The dilemma we now face is now how to allow for air movement and moisture drainage in a wall while still maintaining a high level of insulation. A cavity behind the cladding allows for ventilation and a drainage path, but it also decreases the insulation value of the wall. So more insulation is shoved in the wall, reducing the ability of the wall to breath even further.
The BRANZ research also highlighted what a significant part air pressure has to play in leaks. The Acceptable Solutions to the Building Code requires that all window and door frames be fully sealed to the structural timber frame to eliminate the air leakage path around these openings. Testing showed that even a small gap in the sealant had a big impact on air flow, and the water it carries. So the important thing is for the cavity behind the cladding to remain at an equal air pressure to the outside. In effect the cladding is now acting as a rain screen, rather than trying to achieve a waterproof membrane.
The truth is that we have ‘thought-built’ buildings. We always have had this, and it is even more so now. To build houses the way we do (in New Zealand) requires knowledge, skill and understanding. Construction clearly requires the designer, inspector, and builder to work from the neck up. They need to think as they draw, observe, and install the building components, like flashings, building paper and claddings. Thinking about where water will be coming from, and where it’s going to go. Miss something and the whole stack of cards can come down.
This is even more so with the rise of ’cladding systems’ where the one manufacturer provides all of the flashings, fixings, and finishings. Even good old fashioned things like weatherboards and bricks are starting to fall into this category. You now need detailed knowledge of how to install a particular system to make it work. Specialist installers, trained by the manufacturers are growing in number. On a recent project there was even a company who specialised in installing just the sealant between the windows and the timber framing. Almost gone are the days of generic claddings where you could use what ever individual components you liked and the whole thing still worked.
This obviously isn’t the be all and end all of this problem. There is a lot more to be learnt about how our buildings work in our environment. We are already seeing that some supposedly remediated buildings, aren’t, and they are leaking again. The story still has some way to go — unfortunately.

Earmuffs in Pre-school? Ken Collins Jun 01
I had promised the next blog would be my second part to the Leaky Homes blog, and it is on its way. However, this article in the Dominion Post caught the eyes of the team in our office.
Do we really need to put earmuffs on our pre-schoolers when they are at Playcentre or other Pre-school facilities?
While the intentions are admirable, to minimise any hearing damage to our wee youngsters in noisy environments. The people in our office thought earmuffs in pre-schools was going a bit far.
We have recently been involved in refurbishing some pre-schools and assessed the issue of noise as a part of the design solution. As a result we had sound absorbing materials installed on the ceiling and on walls. Sound absorbing vinyl flooring is also now widely available, not to mention that carpet is also a good sound absorber. The location of activities was also considered.
Once the work had been completed there was a significant difference to the sound levels in the kindy, although we weren’t able quantify the difference without the use of a sound meter.
So, while we agree that everyone (including the little ones) should wear hearing protection when engaged in noisy activity, like using power tools, watching motor racing, etc, we also see that good building design and selection of materials can create an environment that reduces potential problems.
Surely children wearing earmuffs in a pre-school would severely affect the way the teachers could interact with them, and in turn create a host of other problems? We see that it is far better to create an environment that is fit for people rather than the other way round.

Leaky Buildings — Part 1 — How did we get here. Ken Collins May 20
With the government announcing it’s (our) package to help solve the leaky homes crisis this week, it has brought the spotlight back onto what is now a highly emotive subject. While the emphasis is rightly on getting peoples homes safe and fit to live in, it should be remembered that the leaky buildings problem is wider spread than just domestic buildings. Recent reports have shown that it includes schools, commercial and community buildings.
The politics of it is complex and controversial with blame-storming rampant. The reality is that there are so many aspects to obtaining a completed building, from design to move in, that you can’t just point your finger a one person or organisation. Additionally the physical causes, effects and remedies are only now becoming well known and well understood.
So how did we get here? In effect it was a combination of a number of issues, coming together all at once.
Ever since humans have built structures and shelters on this land, they have leaked, for one reason or another. In the early 20th Century buildings leaked, however the timber that was used was good strong native timber, which could withstand being wet and then drying out again. The gaps and construction technologies of the day meant that there was airflow through and inside the building structure, which allowed it to dry out. These days everything is sealed up like a chilly bin and any water that does get inside the structure can’t get out again. The timber stays wet, fungus grows and timber rots.
The use of un-treated timber was approved when the kiln drying of timber had become commercially available. Up until then all timber was naturally air dried and would normally be stood up as framing while it was still well above 20% moisture. It would then dry out as the house was completed. The testing of the day showed that ‘dry’ timber (at it’s moisture equilibrium of about 12-15%) didn’t need treating, assuming it stayed dry. It also meant significantly less energy, chemicals and heavy metals were used in the building industry.
However history has proved that some of this timber didn’t stay dry.
What people also didn’t realise was that the old Boric treatment applied to timber being used internally (to stop borer attack) actually provided some protection against fungal attack when it did get wet.
At the same time the design fashion of the day changed to the use of parapets and low pitch roofs, monolithic plaster wall systems, and the mixing of different cladding materials on the one building.
New cladding materials and cladding systems relied to heavily on thin top coats where the base materials are not inherently water proof, or where jointing systems have proven over time to be ineffective or to be difficult to install and maintain.
The use of sealants to provide flashing and waterproofing barriers increased exponentially, at the expense of mechanical flashing systems. People relied on these chemicals to stop water getting into all sorts of little (an not so little) openings. So while sealants work very well when they are installed properly, they do need maintenance and replacement, especially where they are exposed to UV light. However all to often they weren’t used or applied in ideal conditions and they failed prematurely as a result.
Added to this there was a lack of continuity across all the disciplines in the building industry, where traditional roles and responsibilities were fragmented.
Despite all of this, it must be pointed out that at the time the majority of people involved in the building industry thought they were doing the right things. Products were researched and tested, assessments and decisions made on the information available. Yes there were (and still are) some dodgy developers, builders and designers out there, but in no way can they account for all of the problems we are now observing.
One of the biggest realisations has been that despite the knowledge obtained from testing construction and cladding systems to assess their suitability for New Zealand conditions, the true test has been their actual performance in the real world over 5, 10, 20, 40 years. It is particularly hard to assess likely in-use performance by doing accelerated weathering experiments and the like. Often people relied on overseas testing and research, which wasn’t always totally applicable to NZ conditions.
The result is that in the last 10 years many methods that were thought to be ok, have proven to not be. Manufacturers have changed their installation, fixing and jointing instructions. A number of products that were tested as being suitable for NZ buildings have been withdrawn after they were found to fail. This includes products that were assessed by the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) and given a BRANZ Appraisal Certificate, only for that certificate to be withdrawn later when problems arose.
What was thought to be best practise 10 years ago, now isn’t and so things have changed, and will continue to do so.
The fact is that you can never know with 100% accuracy how a material or a system will perform until it has actually been in use, in the environment, for a period of time. There are so many variables of, exposure, wind loads, quality of workmanship, movement inherent to timber framed buildings, not to mention maintenance (or the lack of it). After all, how many people wash their houses down every six months as is recommended by paint and roofing manufacturers.
Lessons have been learnt and things are now done differently. Will they prove to be successful over the medium to long term, the industry won’t know until we get there.
In the second part of this blog, I will look at some of the science behind the issues and what is currently thought to be the best solutions.

Timber treatment: what are the best options? Ken Collins May 11
Some time ago there was a lot of media coverage on the use of CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenic) timber preservative. This caused a number of our clients to ask for alternatives, so we did a little research into what the implications are.
Pine needs to have large amounts of preservative to stop it rotting when in contact with water, and especially in ground.
There are two alternatives to CCA commercially available: Copper Azole based (CuAz) and Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ). Both rely on very high concentrations of copper to act as an agent against fungal and insect attack, and as such both are strongly alkaline.
Unfortunately this also means that these products are very aggressive to mild steel and even galvanised steel. The Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) did some testing and found that in comparison to CCA treated timber:
In timber treated to H3.2 (the treatment level for timber in occasional water contact, often used in exterior wall framing, in wet areas, and outdoors above ground contact like decks), mild steel corrodes at rates of up to 5 times in CuAz and ACQ preservative.
In timber treated to H5 (the treatment for timber in contact with the ground, eg floor piles, structural posts, and fence posts), mild steel corrodes at rates of up to 12 times in ACQ preservative. (you can’t get H5 treatment in CuAz).
Galvanised steel corroded at a slower rate than mild steel, however the corrosion rate of galv steel in CuAz and especially in ACQ was still significantly higher than in CCA treated timber.
316 Stainless Steel performed well in all the preservatives with minimal differences in corrosion rates.
A copy of their Conference Paper is available here and the more in depth Study Report can be found here.
In short this means that if you use the alternatives to CCA then all the fixings (nails and screws), bolts and brackets (in-fact anything metal) that touches the timber must be 316 stainless steel or powdercoated. Consideration also needs to be given to the use of stainless steel flashings as well, because even water runoff from ACQ and CuAz treated timber will corrode mild steel, aluminium, and galvanised steel..
What ever you do, there is no current solution to preserving timber without using large amounts of heavy metals and toxic chemicals. But in saying this, you would have to suck on a lot of logs (or wood chips) to leach enough of the chemicals out of the timber for it to have a measureable effect on you. This includes CCA treatment.
So, unless you are building a children’s play area and have particular concerns about children eating the wood, CCA treated timber is still the best to use for the construction of buildings in NZ, especially where you need to treat to H3.2 or above. Not only for cost, but also because of serious durability concerns raised by the BRANZ testing.

Signs of the Cephalopod Underground
Posted by PZ Myers on July 31, 2006 More »
A reader discovered this fascinating graffiti in downtown Minneapolis, near the transit center on Hennepin Avenue.
In Minneapolis! So far from the sea, but I’m not alone in pining for it.
I may have to look this up. This is a travel week for me, as I have to run around taking care of some essential pre-school year duties—I’m actually sitting in the St Cloud mall right now, watching the senior citizens do their laps, while waiting for our car to get some minor repairs and maintenance—and tomorrow I have to run in to the university to attend a meeting and to the airport to dispose of one of my kids for a few weeks. I might have some time to cruise the squid-haunted streets of the Big City for a while. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5442 | {"url": "http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/07/31/signs-of-the-cephalopod-underg/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "scienceblogs.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:03:13Z", "digest": "sha1:PWOFMG7IQ4EKOMA7JSZJJ3LEZBLSL3JY"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 787, 787.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 787, 7167.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 787, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 787, 198.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 787, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 787, 275.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 787, 0.46783626]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 787, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 787, 0.02870813]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 787, 0.02232855]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 787, 0.03189793]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 787, 0.04678363]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 787, 0.12280702]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 787, 0.68027211]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 787, 4.26530612]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 787, 4.33497476]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 787, 147.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 79, 0.0], [79, 194, 1.0], [194, 267, 1.0], [267, 787, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 79, 0.0], [79, 194, 0.0], [194, 267, 0.0], [267, 787, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 36, 5.0], [36, 79, 10.0], [79, 194, 16.0], [194, 267, 15.0], [267, 787, 101.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 79, 0.14634146], [79, 194, 0.0], [194, 267, 0.0], [267, 787, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 79, 0.0], [79, 194, 0.0], [194, 267, 0.0], [267, 787, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.08333333], [36, 79, 0.13953488], [79, 194, 0.03478261], [194, 267, 0.05479452], [267, 787, 0.01923077]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 787, 9.31e-05]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 787, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 787, 1.168e-05]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 787, -27.49639291]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 787, 4.81822275]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 787, -63.86912344]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 787, 6.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

After long odyssey, R.A. Dickey finds permanent spot in New York Mets' rotation
R. A. Dickey came up for the Mets in May and pitched so well that they couldn't take him out of the rotation. He wound up with a guaranteed spot in the Mets rotation in 2011.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — R.A. Dickey is a rare athlete who feels an obligation to make each interview as congenial, expansive and enlightening as he possibly can.
When I talked to him Saturday in the spring camp of the New York Mets, where the Mariners discard has become a vital member of the Mets' rotation, he struggled to describe what the security of a two-year, $7.8 million contract means after 14 years of hanging on for dear life.
"I want to give you the right adjective, because to say it feels nice is so clichéd it makes me throw up," he said.
Many athletes consider it mission accomplished when they deliver a cliché (like "mission accomplished," for instance). Dickey acted like he would rather give up a single to the pitcher to lose a no-hitter — as happened to him last August, with Cole Hamels' sixth-inning hit all that stood between Dickey and the first no-hitter in the Mets' 48-year history.
Dickey finally settled on "satisfying," but I think he would have ridden his bicycle (he bikes 12 miles from his condo to the Mets complex most mornings) to a bookstore to buy a thesaurus if the Mets didn't have to hit the field soon.
Later, I asked Dickey, 36, if he had found inspiration in the biographies of other late-bloomers who had endured circuitous routes to the majors — perhaps Jamie Moyer or Jim Morris of "The Rookie" fame.
"Maybe Odysseus," he replied, as I tried frantically to recall what team he played for before realizing he was referring to the hero of Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey."
If I had a dime for all the athletes over the years that have cited Odysseus ... I'd now have a dime.
"I relate so much more to English literature and characters from books," said Dickey, who plans to finish the degree in literature he nearly completed at the University of Tennessee before signing professionally with the Texas Rangers. "You can't make my story up. I do read a lot, and he's the character I liken myself to."
It's an apt choice for a guy who, after being the Rangers' No. 1 pick in 1996 (No. 18 overall) had his signing bonus reduced from $810,000 to $75,000 when Rangers doctors found out he didn't have an ulna collateral ligament in his right elbow. One of the doctors had noticed Dickey's arm hanging oddly in a picture on the cover of Baseball America and ordered further tests.
Dickey meandered through the Texas organization so unimpressively that in 2005, at the recommendation of Orel Hershiser, he gave the knuckleball a try. It would take six more years, and uninspiring trips through the Brewers, Twins (twice) and Mariners organizations, before he mastered the most confounding pitch of them all.
The Mets, who signed Dickey purely as insurance before last season and promptly made him the first cut of spring training, were the beneficiary. Dickey came up in May and pitched so well that they couldn't take him out of the rotation. He wound up with 11 wins, the seventh-best earned-run average in the National League at 2.84, and a guaranteed spot in the Mets rotation in 2011 — a career first.

BASEBALL; By the Way, The Mets Hold Off The Padres
By BEN SHPIGEL
The fans at Shea Stadium cheered louder for one man in navy blue than they did for 25 wearing white and orange. That man, Mike Piazza, returned to Shea last night for the first time since signing with the San Diego Padres in February, after seven and a half seasons with the Mets. Whatever he did -- struck out, singled, sneezed -- took precedence over what anyone else did. By the way, the Mets won, 3-2, for their third consecutive victory, revealing an ability to compartmentalize on a night when faced with several potential distractions. Steve Trachsel allowed only a wind-blown two-run homer through five and two-thirds innings, and five relievers combined to preserve a lead forged by Carlos Beltr?s three doubles and David Wright's three hits. Wright's single in the fifth drove in the winning run. Piazza had a prime chance to help his new team defeat his old one, but he flied out in a pivotal spot -- down a run with a man on second and one out in the eighth. He jogged back to the dugout. It was the final time the announced crowd of 46,167 saw Piazza, who went 1 for 4. He was replaced at catcher by Josh Bard in the bottom of the inning, ending an emotional first day back in Flushing. ''I can't tell you how honored I am and just how special it was for me,'' Piazza said. ''It's so hard to go out there and play. One way they're cheering for me. In another way they're not. It was just so great.'' Over the last week, the Mets lost their top setup man, Duaner S?hez, to a shoulder injury sustained in a taxi accident; traded away the popular Xavier Nady for bullpen help; ended Chase Utley's hitting streak at 35 games; prepared for the return of an icon, Piazza; and, most recently, turned their support to catcher Paul Lo Duca, Piazza's successor. He is dealing with tabloid headlines detailing his marital discord and possible gambling debts incurred while betting on horse racing, which he said he did legally through an online betting account. Flanked by Wright and Tom Glavine, Lo Duca read a statement before the game saying that his relationship with his wife is personal and that he vehemently denied accumulating any debts. Lo Duca, who entered yesterday batting .430 since July 1, has not let the commotion affect his play, but he and Manager Willie Randolph decided it was necessary to address the team in a five-minute meeting, reminding the players to continue concentrating on baseball. ''What happens off the field stays off the field,'' Beltr?said. ''We come here to play baseball.'' The players' minds may have all been focused on defeating the National League West-leading Padres, but the fans' attention was clearly elsewhere. Piazza said before the game that he felt nervous about coming back, and he must have gotten goose bumps when the crowd showered him with his first standing ovation upon taking that foreign walk out of the visitors' dugout at about 5:20 p.m. He did so wearing No. 33, instead of the 31 he wore with the Mets, because the Padres retired Dave Winfield's No. 31. A large crowd arrived early to watch him hit home runs during batting practice, clapped and screamed his name during a pregame highlight montage, then stood, applauding, for his first at-bat. Piazza struck out on a nasty splitter by Trachsel, his former batterymate, and he received another lengthy cheer. ''That's how you treat heroes,'' Randolph said. ''I think that's what he's been for a lot of fans in the city of New York.'' Trachsel earned his second consecutive victory, striking out three and allowing five hits before being replaced after Piazza hit a two-out single in the sixth. Trachsel's only blemish was Geoff Blum's home run that got caught in the swirling winds and dropped over the right-field fence, barely eluding Lastings Milledge's glove. ''I looked up and Milledge was coming in for it,'' Trachsel said. Down by 2-0, the Mets scored a run in the second, although they could have had more. They loaded the bases with no outs on a single, a walk and an error. But Milledge hit into a double play, scoring Wright, then Trachsel grounded out. The Mets loaded the bases in the third and again scored only once, on a single by Wright. They scored the go-ahead run in the fifth off Padres starter Woody Williams when Wright singled in Beltr?from second. The Padres could not capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity in the sixth, then had a decent chance in the eighth with Piazza up. Mike Cameron, another former Met who received a nice greeting, walked and stole second with one out. Piazza surely would have liked to hit career home run No. 414 in a place that holds so many fond memories, but his fly ball to center dropped into Beltr?s glove about 100 feet shy of the fence. Piazza received a standing ovation anyway.
The Mets have indefinitely suspended Howard Johnson, the hitting coach for Class AAA Norfolk, for leaving the team without permission, a violation of team policy. His status is under review, according to a Mets spokesman. Johnson, who played with the Mets from 1985 to 1993, could not be reached for comment. He has spent the last six seasons as a coach in the organization.

Finance Committee of U.C. Board of Regents Approves Employee Furloughs
TweetThere was a buzz of activity today in San Francisco regarding the upcoming furloughs for some employees at the University of California. Senator Leland Yee spoke to a group of U.C. employees and students this morning at 7:00-something A.M. Get his point of view here.
A little later, the same protesters went over to nearby FibroGen, so that prevented Mayor Gavin Newsom from an making appointment he had there today.
The mise-en-scene inside at Mission Bay this morning. Click to expand:
And this was the scene outside, what with a couple hundred U.C. workers milling about.
“I’m UC President Yudof. I get $1 million/yr. I’m not here to save UC.”
Let’s leave the Angel of Death and head back inside to meet University of California President Mark G. Yudof, on the left:
And here’s California Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi, who’s running for Congress these days. He had a few points to make about getting more money for U.C.
First of all, Garamendi called for the end of the two-thirds supermajority requirement to raise taxes in California. Then John called for support of an oil severance tax, namely AB656 from Assemblymember Torrico.
Now let’s hear from Sandra Faber, chair of the astronomy and astrophysics department at UC Santa Cruz. She talked about just paying out $150k in retention bonuses for three valued U.C. employees.
“As a department chair, I cannot retain these people as well as hire people. We do not have that long because our professors, particularly the assistant professors, are gong to bolt, and we are going to enter an irrecoverable slide.”
We should find out tomorrow how this all pans out.

Katherine Fried says: July 17, 2009 at 6:01 pm I’m happy to see that at least one person in CD 10 understands the need for less talk and more action. I am a former teacher and have seen Joan Buchanan at several events throughout the district, helping to raise money for teachers and get their voices heard. In fact, I just received a notice that she will be in Oakley tomorrow at a Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser to raise money for their school district. I am happy to see someone like Joan run in District 10, we need someone in Congress who will spend less time talking about solutions and spend more time taking steps to solve them. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5453 | {"url": "http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2009/07/15/finance-committee-of-u-c-board-of-regents-approves-employee-furloughs/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "sfcitizen.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:38:38Z", "digest": "sha1:BDLSMUXTABEZ3CI5JB4AYBP3FTAB3JVI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2897, 2897.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2897, 7127.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2897, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2897, 206.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2897, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2897, 311.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2897, 0.32524272]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2897, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2897, 0.03718115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2897, 0.03718115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2897, 0.03718115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2897, 0.03718115]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2897, 0.00518807]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2897, 0.02853437]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2897, 0.0155642]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2897, 0.05339806]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2897, 0.21197411]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2897, 0.53571429]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2897, 4.8592437]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2897, 5.23718896]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2897, 476.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 344, 1.0], [344, 494, 1.0], [494, 565, 0.0], [565, 652, 1.0], [652, 724, 1.0], [724, 847, 0.0], [847, 1006, 1.0], [1006, 1219, 1.0], [1219, 1415, 1.0], [1415, 1649, 1.0], [1649, 1700, 1.0], [1700, 2107, 0.0], [2107, 2178, 1.0], [2178, 2267, 1.0], [2267, 2897, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 344, 0.0], [344, 494, 0.0], [494, 565, 0.0], [565, 652, 0.0], [652, 724, 0.0], [724, 847, 0.0], [847, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1415, 0.0], [1415, 1649, 0.0], [1649, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 2107, 0.0], [2107, 2178, 0.0], [2178, 2267, 0.0], [2267, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 71, 10.0], [71, 344, 45.0], [344, 494, 25.0], [494, 565, 11.0], [565, 652, 15.0], [652, 724, 14.0], [724, 847, 22.0], [847, 1006, 26.0], [1006, 1219, 33.0], [1219, 1415, 32.0], [1415, 1649, 40.0], [1649, 1700, 10.0], [1700, 2107, 50.0], [2107, 2178, 13.0], [2178, 2267, 13.0], [2267, 2897, 117.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 344, 0.01136364], [344, 494, 0.0], [494, 565, 0.0], [565, 652, 0.0], [652, 724, 0.01515152], [724, 847, 0.0], [847, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1219, 0.01449275], [1219, 1415, 0.01587302], [1415, 1649, 0.0], [1649, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 2107, 0.01643836], [2107, 2178, 0.13636364], [2178, 2267, 0.0], [2267, 2897, 0.02100162]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 71, 0.0], [71, 344, 0.0], [344, 494, 0.0], [494, 565, 0.0], [565, 652, 0.0], [652, 724, 0.0], [724, 847, 0.0], [847, 1006, 0.0], [1006, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1415, 0.0], [1415, 1649, 0.0], [1649, 1700, 0.0], [1700, 2107, 0.0], [2107, 2178, 0.0], [2178, 2267, 0.0], [2267, 2897, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 71, 0.12676056], [71, 344, 0.05128205], [344, 494, 0.04], [494, 565, 0.05633803], [565, 652, 0.03448276], [652, 724, 0.125], [724, 847, 0.07317073], [847, 1006, 0.06289308], [1006, 1219, 0.04225352], [1219, 1415, 0.05102041], [1415, 1649, 0.01282051], [1649, 1700, 0.01960784], [1700, 2107, 0.06142506], [2107, 2178, 0.02816901], [2178, 2267, 0.12359551], [2267, 2897, 0.03174603]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2897, 0.03497845]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2897, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2897, 0.0934791]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2897, -153.8215019]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2897, 18.27776473]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2897, -164.38391903]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2897, 39.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Overwhelmed - 1st child - New Here
Posted by VideoGameMom
Oh boy, I don't even know where to begin!
For starters, I am 30 y/o with my 1st child. At the time of this post, I am 13w6d. I had my first prenatal appointment on Jan. 7th where the doctor put me at exactly 11 weeks. I had seen my primary doctor on Dec. 3rd to get my prenatal vitamins and I was estimated around 3 weeks so when I was told 11 weeks, I was a bit shocked because I was thinking I was only about 8 weeks! My husband and I were able to hear the hearbeat and the look on his face was priceless! XD I didn't know what to think. My feelings about this seem to be a bit.........."off". I've NEVER been around babies and was never one to "awww" at other girls showing their baby pictures. I just didn't care and didn't want to see. Now that I am preggo, I don't know what to think or feel. I am a self-proclaimed aspie at this time (want to see a doctor to find out for sure) so I am guessing that is why my "empathy level" is very low. My husband is excited, but at the same time he is holding back because his sister had a previous pregnancy and was nearing full term then lost it due to spina bifida and that worries him because he doesn't want to get his hopes up.
Right now, I have been doing research to find out what to do, things I will and doing all sorts of reading and am totally overwhelmed! I fear I am gonna crack and freak out. I was already diagnosed with depression when I was 18 and had to be hospitalized for it, so because of that, my husband is worried about that aspect too.
Besides being worried about proper care for a baby, the PAIN worries me the most. I have a VERY low tolerance to pain and I am experiencing pelvic/abdominal pain and it is very uncomfortable and I can't even take this pain I am feeling. It's not too severe to where it's a concern to my doctor, but it makes me want to curl up into a ball and not move. If I can't take what I am feeling now at nearly 14 weeks, I am VERY worried about what it's going to be like when I am further along. D:
Oh, and I also had an ultrasound done already on Jan. 21st and so far, everything looked fine, both arms and legs were accounted for. XD Still can't tell if it's a boy or a girl yet, but I already have the perfect name if it's a girl and I am dead set on this name although my husband is NOT crazy about it and told me "no". lol

how many weeks were you when u did ur sonogram on the 21st??? i have mine in two weeks i pray we can find out the sex lol cause the suspense is driving me crazy lol
VideoGameMom- Welcome! Congrats on your first little one. :-) Believe it or not, you are incredibly normal! I know quite a few people who are not really sure how they feel about their pregnancies and aren't sure if their emotions will ever get to the place of excitement and joy. Right now, your pregnancy is very abstract...probably not showing very much and can't feel the baby kick. You don't know the sex, etc. It can feel really hard to connect to this baby. I, myself, felt like it was all very surreal until my little boy was a few days old! I can't imagine life without him now, though. Hang in there - your feelings will develop and things will seem more real as you feel the baby moving, etc. As for your fear and anxiety, there is SO MUCH information out there on the internet. You really can cripple yourself with all the "what ifs" and possible complications. I'd focus on just reading the information your OB gives you and staying healthy. Take your vitamins, eat well, continue to walk and stay active, and try to get some good sleep. Easier said than done sometimes. ;-) You can't do anything about potential complications except take care of yourself now and trust that your doctor can help you if need be. I have to say that I experienced lots of cramping in the first trimester because your ligaments are stretching and getting ready for baby to grow. You often feel somewhat better in the second trimester. Anyway - VERY long note but just know you aren't alone and I'm glad you found us here! Hopefully this board can be a source of support for you. Hugs!
I was exactly 13 weeks when I had my ultrasound done. As I stated, we still don't know the gender yet. I won't know for at least another month or so. The ultrasound tech told me we should be able to find out when I am around 18 weeks though. I actually got a call from ym doctor today and they want to go ahead and get the next ultrasound scheduled for when I am around 20 weeks. I guess they want to schedule it now to make sure that there will be an opening available for me to get it done.
Let me be the next to welcome you to strongmoms, i think you will find the website a great place to come for support and to get questions answered. I am so glad to hear that you have a supportive medical team. It sounds like they are doing everything they can to help and support you as well. That is great. :) I love what PedsNurseJulie shared with you, and want to stand behind her in supporting you. Please keep in touch and let us know how things are going.
I had a hard time getting my ultrasound scheduled since my doctor was so booked and popular. Glad they are getting you scheduled nice and early. It's such an exciting day! You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
Well, I will now be having an ultrasound done of friday, Feb. 1st. After the doctor got the results back from my first ultrasound, they noticed something that appeared to be wrong. Apparently, my cervical length looks insufficient. They want me to get checked out again to determine if I will need to get a consultation or not, whatever that means.
I did some searching on the internet about having a short cervical length and from what I understand, it can increase the chance of preterm labor. Great. :( I told my husband about it and now he seems more worried than ever. He was very strict with me when we talked about it and he does not want me to do any crazy lifting or moving of furniture or anything that seems to be too much. I've always been known to be a hard worker and when I see something that needs to be done, I'll be all over it! But for now, I just gotta wait and see what the results are from this ultrasound.
UPDATE!!
For starters, my ultrasound I had on Feb. 1st to check my cervical length went okay. Nothing is wrong and everything looks as it should. My husband was releived by this.
Secondly, I had my 2nd doctor appointment on Feb. 7th and it was the 3rd time they weighed me....I STILL have NOT gained a single pound! Dec. 3rd, Jan. 7th and my recent visit ALL said that I weighed exactly 118. I thought for sure I would have gained a little weight by now. I'm not too stressed about that, but I am surprised. Also I did have blood work done before this last appointment and everything came back negative so that was good. The last ultrasound I had, the baby's heartbeat was 155, faster than what it was for my first ultrasound which was 141. Got to hear the heartbeat again at my recent appointment and it took the doctor a minute to find. He finally located it about 2 inches above my pelvic bone. He then asked me: "See how low this is?" I looked at him with a slight concern and said "Yes". He then proceeded to tell me that with as low as he had to go to find the heartbeat, he is pretty positive it's a boy. XD A LOT of people think it's a boy and we are hoping for a boy, but I have SO many girly things of my own that I can decorate the nursery with if it's a girl! haha If it's a boy, I'm gonna need to do some shopping or do something. I'm looking forward to my next ultrasound on March 6th. Hopefully, if the baby isn't being stubborn, we will be able to find out if it's a girl or a boy. Before that time though, I have to get more blood work done. The doctor told me this one is to check for down syndrome and other things.

Hi VideoGameMom. I just had my baby girl and I was a lot like you during pregnancy. I only wish that I enjoyed it more. My focus has been on a career that even when I told my boss the news he thought I was quitting because I was so upset. I was also really worried about the weight gain. I am 5 feet and was shocked when I was told that I could gain up to 40 lbs! In the end I gained 18 and my little girl was 6.2 lbs. The key thing here is that everyone is different and you will do what feels right for you so my recommendation is to eat when you are hungry and try to keep it healthy. It will help you in the long run. Just take it one day at a time and be thankful for your husband and the support that he is giving you. Every little bit helps!
VideoGameMom - so glad everything came back normal with your cervical length! That's a relief. Sounds your like your doctor is doing all the right things to make sure all is well. So fun that you may have a boy! Do you have any names you like - either girl or boy names? I hope everything continues to be perfectly normal for you - keep us up to date! :-) You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Hiii...
I went through your post and I am happy to know that everything has fallen in place for you. I totally understand how freaked out one can be to hear something is wrong from the doctor's mouth!!
I am first time mom and 11 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 unsuccessful pregnancies and you can imagine, every minute until 12 weeks, is too much to take. Any discomfort would shake me and I get freaked out and call my nurse!
I had my first ultra sound at 4 weeks since I was spotting, My doc said it could be threatened a/b. I was shattered to hear this. however my doctor told me that it can be confirmed after hcg level and thankfully it came out fine.
I went for II Ultrasound at 8 weeks and saw the baby and heart beat was fine. They told me that I will hear the heart beat in my 13th week appointment.
My husband and I are relieved that so far everything has been going good . so I exactly know how you feel. We are waiting for out next ultrasound that is scheduled this month end and I am hoping all is well. :)
I hope everything goes very well for you and am excited for you! Its a Boy... congrats once again to you and be well .:)
Bye, Take care.
Keep in touch.
First, congrats! Second, it's okay to be nervous. I am 13w 2d and this is my second child. Anyway, talk to your doctor if pain concerns you. As for labor, talk to your doctor about pain reliever options. I had an epidural with my son and that gets rid of all the pain. The second trimester is where it gets easier for most. Hang in there! You can do it! If you are worried about depression, talk to your doctor about management options. I have Bipolar II disorder and I have to be off my medications for the pregnancy. I just check in with my psych often and that helps me. The doctors do medical screenings and they will keep track of your baby's health and let you know of any worries. Your husband should be excited, it's normal and good!
UPDATE!!!
Well, I had my ultrasound!!! IT'S A BOY!!! We had a good feeling it was and was really hoping for a boy and now it has been confirmed! We do not have any names really picked out yet. My husband and I have been throwing some names out there, but have not come to a decision yet. I have already let the family know and they are all happy it's a boy since there are TOO many girls in my family. lol My mom had 4 girls, my grandma had 3 and one of my aunts had 2 girls and 1 boy. We really needed another boy. haha
But, there is still a small bad side.......turns out that even though my previous ultrasound showed that my cervix looked good, my doctor has still listed me with an insufficient cervix and I DO require a consultation with a doctor that specializes in high risk pregnancies. :\ I was told that even though my cervix looks fine now, that can change as the baby grows and it could cause my cervix to get too short and could cause a problem. Right now I am 19w 4d and everything still seems okay, but it seems like I am gonna have to be monitored now. Guess we are gonna have to wait and see what happens and hope for the best.
Yay for boys!!! I have two of my own and they are so wonderful! Congrats on your little man. :-) I'll be thinking of you as you go in for your consultation - hopefully it turns out to be a minor issue. Congrats again!

Congrats! Little boys are awesome! I love my son (he is 10 months old). i want a girl this time because I think one girl and one boy would be nice. Another boy would be fine too though! Just make sure you keep up with your doctor and so research and make sure you are careful.

Community-wide Pink Day set for Friday October 14, 2013 By
Becky Polaski Photo by Becky Polaski
Members of the Elk County Catholic and St. Marys Area girls' tennis teams wore pink in support of breast cancer awareness for a match on Oct. 3. The annual community-wide Pink Day is scheduled for Friday throughout the county, and area students - and residents in general - are encouraged to "get their pink on" to show their support for breast cancer awareness.
According to information available on the American Cancer Society's website, "about one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime."

Is Peter Pike an Anti-Catholic Presbyterian? Yes
Peter Pike, a severe Presbyterian critic of mine, recently wrote in a combox on my site (on 9-24-10):Dave goes on and on about me being an anti-Catholic. . . . I defy you to produce this cornucopia of anti-Catholic statements I've supposedly uttered. Your readers are all invited to read every single one of my posts no Roman Catholicism here and find anything that supports your claim that I'm an anti-Catholic. The fact is, you won't find it.Okay; fair enough. Despite all his lying about me recently, I try to do good even to my proclaimed "enemies" (just as our Lord Jesus says we should in the Sermon on the Mount) and so I thought I owed it to Pike to at least check out his writings more carefully, to see if I should modify my opinion of him.This post was at first a retraction of my contention that Peter Pike was an anti-Catholic, after I looked over a bunch of his posts on Catholicism and didn't find any solid proof there. It was originally entitled: "Retraction: Peter Pike is Not an Anti-Catholic." Hence the picture of the sad-eyed puppy, who is "sorry." I clarified where I thought my reasoning had gone awry, issued an apology as well, and had written:So how do I proceed now? . . . I shall . . . go over my posts that mention Pike, and remove the designation of anti-Catholic in descriptions of him.But lo and behold, when I was in the process of doing that I discovered proof from Pike that he was anti-Catholic after all (therefore, that this must have been part of my rationale in the first place). He never has apparently understood the meaning of the word. He seems to think that it is almost a synonym for "bigot" whereas my use has always been, "one who denies that Catholicism as a system is a species of Christianity".So if he thinks that my classification of him as an anti-Catholic was simply a variant of calling him a bigot, then he was out to sea as to my basic meaning. I agree that I wasn't calling him an anti-Catholic in that sense, because I have never used it with the definition of "bigot" in the first place.The proof occurs in a Cryablogue thread: "Making the Judaizers Orthodox" (written by anti-Catholic Jason Engwer and dated 9 December 2009): in Pike's combox remarks. Engwer wrote in the post itself:Evangelicals and Catholics disagree significantly over what "died for our sins" (1 Corinthians 15:3) means. As the book of Galatians illustrates, the adding of works to the gospel nullifies what Paul summarized in 1 Corinthians 15. As he puts it elsewhere in 1 Corinthians itself, the gospel involves the sufficiency of the crucified Christ (1 Corinthians 2:2). . . . For an explanation of why the Roman Catholic gospel is false and why it should be considered to be under the anathema of Galatians 1, see posts # 94 and # 99 in the thread here.The gist of the post and ensuing discussion was an analogy between the Judaizers and Catholicism: both supposedly believing in works-salvation, or Pelagianism (and elsewhere I think I have shown that the Judaizers, as the Bible describes them, were actually Christians). In the combox, Jason elaborated:See the two posts I referenced in the Challies thread above for a further discussion of the degree to which the Judaizers' gospel was wrong and, by implication, the degree to which the Catholic gospel is wrong. . . .For reasons I've explained already, such as in threads here and in the Challies thread linked above, the possibility that some Catholic and Orthodox signers of the Manhattan Declaration are justified in spite of their group's false gospel isn't sufficient to justify the language of the document about those groups. Individuals who attempt to be justified in a manner contrary to what their group prescribes shouldn't be considered representatives of their group's view of salvation. And the most natural way of reading the Manhattan Declaration, for reasons I've already explained, is that Catholicism and Orthodoxy are orthodox as groups, not just that some individuals within those groups are orthodox. When we judge the Catholic gospel, for example, we judge it in accordance with the assumption that people attempt to be justified through that gospel from the start. We don't assume that they believe the true gospel, then go astray after the Catholic gospel afterward. People who accept the true gospel are sometimes unfaithful to it, as we see with Peter and the Galatians. But we judge a group, like Catholicism, by its gospel alone, without an assumption that another gospel was first or later believed.Pike made no protest against any of these notions. He responded to Truth Unites . . . and Divides ("TUAD"), who had been asking some penetrating questions, eliciting a query from TAO: "Do you believe that Rome proclaims a false gospel?" Pike then stated:I think Jason actually addressed your question at the very end of his response when he said:People who accept the true gospel are sometimes unfaithful to it, as we see with Peter and the Galatians. But we judge a group, like Catholicism, by its gospel alone, without an assumption that another gospel was first or later believed.In other words, if you are to ask on an individual basis, is such-and-so Judaizer saved, then he very well could have been; but when you say "Were Judaizers as a group saved?" the answer is clearly no, as the Scripture Rhology quoted demonstrates.The gospel of the Judaizers was a false gospel, and it would always be a false gospel even if some of its members believed in the real Gospel too. Those who believed what the Judaizers put forth would not have saving faith, but there are often people who identify themselves with a certain group without holding to all that that group maintains.TUAD replied:But Peter's answer (which I would put in Category D) is what every conservative anti-MD Protestant that I have read says. There are CHRISTIANS in a church/Church which teaches and preaches a false gospel, but they are not damned to Hell. So then it can't be (A) as Rhology asserts. Rather, it must be (D) as Peter argues (in so many words).Earlier, TUAD had defined his position D as: "(D) Some Judaizers are damned to Hell. Some Judaizers are not damned to Hell. And damned if I know which Judaizer is going where." Pike then replied:My position would not be your D) because your D) included "And damned if I know which Judaizer is going where." Maybe there are some we don't know the final destination on, but there's plenty of Biblical evidence that gives us the ability to accurately judge most of their states right now. So I can talk to a Catholic, for example, and often tell fairly quickly whether he or she is a Christian in a false church, or lost.That nails it. That's the ironclad proof. This is classic anti-Catholicism, and is identical to the positions of Luther, Calvin, and James White. In other words, it is the belief that could be expressed as follows:There are some real Christians in Catholicism, as in most false systems. Some Catholics are saved and will make it to heaven, but if they are, it is despite what their false "church" with its false "gospel" teaches, not because of it. The "Church" itself is a false, non-Christian system.Hence, when Pike used the description "false church," he proved that he is anti-Catholic. The Catholic Church is a false church; i.e., it is not Christian. Individual Catholics are either "lost" (and Pike -- sadly like so many judgmental, holier-than-thou, Pharisaical anti-Catholics -- seems to think he knows about many folks' final destination, even though John Calvin said we couldn't know this for sure at all), or if they are Christian, it is despite the Catholic Church.Thus, they are either damned or "a Christian in a false church." That is pure, unbridled anti-Catholicism. Case closed. The "lie" is not in my calling Pike what he is, but in his lying about what the Catholic Church is.But if Pike has concluded that I am personally no Christian (since I gladly, joyfully, accept all that the Catholic Church teaches, and it is a "false church") and am, in fact, damned to hell, then that would go a long way in explaining his blistering personal attacks, wouldn't it?* * * * *One bottom line question, for example, is to ask, in determining whether a person is an ant-Catholic:Can a Catholic believe in ALL of the doctrines of the Catholic Church and be saved?If the answer is yes, the person cannot possibly be an anti-Catholic. If it is no, then the person is anti-Catholic, because he is saying that being a consistent Catholic is inconsistent with salvation; it makes it impossible.Therefore, if the system precludes the possibility of salvation (assuming it is being totally adhered to) it can't possibly be a Christian system (since it is opposed to the central goal of Christianity: to be saved). Therefore, the view reduces to "Catholicism is not a Christian system," which is precisely the doctrinal definition of anti-Catholicism. And that can be determined, pretty much, by one's answer to this single question. If the system precludes salvation, it is not Christian. Period.I have run across undeniable evidence showing that Peter Pike would deny that a person can be saved, even abiding by the Catholic soteriological doctrines alone. It occurs in a Debate on Justification with the Catholic apologist Kevin Tierney (December 2002):Man is saved through justification, . . . In order for justification to be biblically consistent, it must conform to the ideas that we saw above. Neither the Roman Catholic system, nor the system of belief of many mainstream Evangelicals today, is harmonic with the Scripture already presented. . . . There was a time when people felt secure enough to proclaim this truth: what you believe about justification is what you believe about the Gospel! Now, in an effort to offend as few people as possible, any such statements are delegated to the roles of the theological madmen. I am such a madman, however; and let me loudly say that the Catholic idea of justification (and all the Protestant denominations that essentially agree with the Catholic view) is not a saving Gospel. This is not to say that all Catholics are damned, for I have met some Catholics who understand this issue and actually agree with the Reformed position, although why they remain in the Catholic Church is beyond me. Any Gospel that does not have God doing all the work and man merely passively receiving salvation is not a Gospel of grace, but is instead one of works. It does not matter if the result is so magnificent compared to such trivial labor as faith-any work done by humans at all destroys grace. . . .Suffice it to say that the historical Reformed Protestant position is both consistent with itself and consistent with Scripture. While there are a few passages that seem to hint, at first glance, at meanings opposite of the Reformed views, any meaningful exegesis of the text will prove that there are no counter-arguments against the Reformed position on the several positive texts that I can put forth, and there are several interpretations that are at least possible, if not likely, for the "tricky" verses that I can posit. I therefore submit that the Biblical Christian must accept the Reformed doctrine of justification or else abandon the term "Biblical" in his title. (Opening Statement; my bolding)***

Part 1Dave,I think you know me well enough now to have seen the tension in my own thinking on these matters. You know that I hold you in high regard, and that I also hold my Reformed friends in high regard, though you and they are at constant (and seemingly non-ending) loggerheads. Frankly, from my observations, much of that has to do with a clashing of personalities, which is a problem now so removed from the initial doctrinal differences that exchanges have become utterly unfruitful and unedifying. In addition, neither side seems able to understand why I have respect for the other.Be that as it may, I have stated before publicly that I am not willing to say that Catholics are not Christians in any sense of the word, or that Roman Catholicism as a system is not Christian, that is, within the pale of Orthodox Christendom. So I make the following assertions regarding these matters:1) We are not saved by systems of thought, but by the God of grace who reaches down to undeserving sinners, the elect for His own good pleasure, and brings us out of darkness into light by the regeneration of our stony heart which he remakes into a heart of flesh. As a Reformed (Calvinist) believer, I also assert that I do not initiate a seeking after God; He seeks after me and causes me to freely embrace Him in Christ Jesus unto my salvation.2) God's elect can be found in many or most denominations; they exist there despite any ongoing embracing of certain errors within that system. They may, at some point, leave a particular system as they discover more truth, or they may stay within a system as God directs for their own good and for the edification of their fellow believers and non-believers who remain.3) The Holy Spirit of God permits His elect to persist in certain errors, sometimes for a very long period of time, even unto the time when He calls us home. Those of us who are true believers should strive to understand and obey truth out of our love for our Saviour and as the proper deportment as befits an adopted child of the King. Nonetheless our minds are subject to futility in our own thinking due to the natural estate of man after his fall from grace. God grants His elect the grace to understand His truth more and more through the continuing renewal of our minds, according as it is His pleasure, and according to His timing. Our understanding or lack of it does not hinder Him in His work in our lives, though our lives are made more complicated and even sorrowful through our ignorance or wilful rebellion against certain revealed truths.

Part 2Now here is the problem for me as I see it. Although I see Roman Catholicism as prone to many errors, as you know my thoughts on these things, having discussed them at length with you on several occasions, I am not willing to call it a non-Christian system. Nor am I willing to say that Catholics are not, nor can they ever be, Christians, that is, true believers in Christ. In that sense, by my understanding of your definition of anti-Catholic, you would not classify me as anti-Catholic.But am I really saying anything different to what Peter Pike has said? Though I am not willing to say that Roman Catholicism is a "false"church, I am neither willing to say it is a "true" church in the sense of being mostly (from my viewpoint) doctrinally sound. Now I just may be a coward when it comes to these things. I'm willing to accept the judgement of others, though no one has yet said that to me. But it seems to me that my unwillingness to call a system "false" while at the same time desiring to steer people away from that system is equivocating on my part.I should be quick to add, since I didn't mention it above where it was most proper, that I am not a "Lone Ranger Christian." There are probably many Protestants in the non-Reformed camp who would fall under that characterisation of "God, me and my Bible." I know you understand that as a Reformed believer, that is not my approach. God's Church is vital to my own salvation. Recognising that we disagree on the definition of Church, you nonetheless are aware that I am a "corporate Christian" in the sense of God's Word and worship, the creeds, Church authorities, and the sacraments.Now I'm thinking that this could be a fruitful discussion if we can all deal with each other with a view to more light and less heat in these matters. I am willing to accept your judgement of anti-Catholic if you think I am, in fact, eqivocating. Since you have explained here, in a way that I have not heretofore grasped, that your use of the term anti-Catholic is not meant to be a synonym for "bigot," I will listen to what you have to offer on the matter, should you choose to respond. And I hope other Catholics that visit here will respond as well. I'd like to hear from them on these very important issues.Thanks and blessings in Christ,Tim
Man oh man! Having a terrible time trying to post comments. Sorry about the double postings and removals. I couldn't figure out how else to do it without posting out of order or losing the comments all together, which is what seemed to happen at first.
Hi Tim,Thanks so much for your comments, and you were the thoughtful gentleman as always. Guys like you are the reason I've always had a high respect for the Reformed tradition. I had respect for it as an Arminian Protestant evangelical, and also now as a Catholic.Though I am not willing to say that Roman Catholicism is a "false"church, I am neither willing to say it is a "true" church in the sense of being mostly (from my viewpoint) doctrinally sound. That's not all that different from my position as a Catholic, or anyone's position, who thinks seriously about theology. We disagree with each other (honest, heartfelt disagreements), and we all think our system is the most "true" one, or else we wouldn't be part of it.But it seems clear to me that we ought to rejoice in the large amount of stuff (very important things) that we have in common, and to not deprive each other of the title "Christian." We can do that on the basis of, e.g., C. S. Lewis's outlook in Mere Christianity or the Nicene Creed.Now I just may be a coward when it comes to these things. I'm willing to accept the judgement of others, though no one has yet said that to me. But it seems to me that my unwillingness to call a system "false" while at the same time desiring to steer people away from that system is equivocating on my part.Not at all. Again, when you don't read a theology out of Christianity altogether or make a sweeping judgment of it as "false" (as if it is the equivalent of Mormonism or Islam or Jehovah's Witnesses), it doesn't mean that you don't believe yours is the best or that you don't desire to persuade others to your point of view. You can do that, and I certainly do it, while remaining ecumenical and respectful of other Christian traditions and (especially of) the people in them. Thus, I can say that I consider you an esteemed brother in Christ while at the same time say that I think Catholicism is the fullness of Christianity and the one true Church. A large part of my own life's work is to not only help Catholics be more confident in their beliefs, and informed (esp. from the Bible), and also to persuade Protestants and atheists and Orthodox and anyone else to become Catholics.I don't see any conflict at all in any of that, let alone equivocation. It's just the way things are, and the nature of truth. There is only one truth (whatever it actually is): we can all agree on that. We all have to seek truth and to follow it to the best of our abilities, by God's grace, and be willing to change our minds if something superior comes along.I don't define anti-Catholic as "bigot" (never have, and you should have known that long before now, since I have reiterated it times without number), but OTOH, when one looks at what anti-Catholics say about me (with Pike parroting the party line that I am mentally ill and narcissistic and an inveterate liar), it's sure understandable why one would conclude that many of them are indeed bigots against Catholics.I don't even assert that Peter Pike is literally a bigot, but I sure as hell say that he has incredible, sinful hostility towards me as a person. It's wicked, and it hurts no one but him.If in fact a person knows that these lies told against myself and other Catholics (esp. apologists) are untrue, then that is a mortal sin, and could exclude them from heaven if unrepented of, every bit as much as Protestants think (what they regard as) our false doctrine might be our undoing.It's a serious business. The Christian is to show forth love, as part of his or her essence, and I see precious little of that from anti-Catholics towards virtually anyone they disagree with.But if the anti-Catholicism is dropped or never adopted (as in your case), look at the attitude difference. It's as far as east is from west, or light from darkness.
The first part of Tim's comment went into Blogger's spam folder. I don't know how it figures that something is spam.I restored it (and deleted Pilgrim's re-post of 12:56), thinking that this may cause Blogger not to delete his comments in the future. I don't know. But this whole automatic spam routine could get to be a big nuisance.It's already caused Peter Pike to call me "dishonest" because it took out a post of his and he concluded that I had done so.I wish Blogger would let me decide this stuff. Now I have to monitor merely alleged (not actual) spam all the time, to make sure it gets posted. Who has time for all that?Internet discussion is cramped and warped and deficient and difficult enough without more hindrances introduced to it.
"I had respect for it as an Arminian Protestant evangelical, and also now as a Catholic."Interesting. How old were you when you swam the Tiber?What church did you attend as an Arminian Protestant evangelical?
I wrote above:The Christian is to show forth love, as part of his or her essence, and I see precious little of that from anti-Catholics towards virtually anyone they disagree with.And for an example of that, take a look at some of the typically boorish, uncharitable garbage that Pastor David T. King has been posting lately over on John Q. Doe's blog (directed against Catholic "Blogahon":***OK, I'll try to make this simple for you since you do not seem to have basic reading skills. . . . you are so blind in your bias against us that you respond when you don't even understand who said what. http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2010/09/clueless.html?showComment=1285619133183#c9173008950646343737I understand that Romanists object when people take the opportunity to point out both the ignorance and stupidity expressed by you folks. But I could care less what you regard as rude.. . . I don't go to Romanist blogs and behave like a perfect idiot. . . . But when you find someone that you can't "buffalo" with the typical Romanist nonsense, but who can actually respond meaningfully, then they are regarded as rude.http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2010/09/clueless.html?showComment=1285621502986#c8275868418655965275
How old were you when you swam the Tiber?32. How old are you now?What church did you attend as an Arminian Protestant evangelical?Lutheran, messianic Jewish, non-denom evangelical, and Assemblies of God. My theology was basically Baptist in nature. What denoms have you attended?
I've attended Baptist, Presbyterian, non-denominational churches, and various assorted others. They were all pretty similar. Bible-believing churches.
One problem in your comparison to White, Calvin, and Luther is that none of those is properly characterized as "anti-Catholic" either.
I think it would be helpful for the readers here if TurretinFan could provide a definition of anti-Catholic as he sees it, and why someone like Dr. White is not one. Then we would have a comparison in text form between Dave's definition and that of my Reformed brothers.
Tue Sep 28, 12:59:00 PM EDT
PA: If we were going to debate the topic, that's the way we'd go about it. But we're not going to debate it. DA has made it clear that he does not wish to dialog with me, and that's his right under the 5th amendment. - TurretinFan
That's correct. But you can debate Pilgrim and others here. It would be refreshing to see you actually sustain a real dialogue, with anyone . . . Pilgrim asked a perfectly sensible question, and I, for one, would love to see some attempted answer to it. No one ever wants to go to the next stage of the discussion about the term "anti-Catholic." They simply want to distort my stated opinion and never provide one of their own.Thank God for Pilgrim and his willingness to actually get to second base in the discussion, so that we could actually accomplish something constructive.This very topic (as TAO well knows) is the reason I gave up attempted dialogue with anti-Catholics in 2007. They weren't willing to discuss the closely related issue of the definition of "Christian."For TAO to be willing to have that discussion, he required that I first admit that I am not an orthodox Catholic. I had to even define my own category by his criterion. As long as I admitted I was not truly an orthodox Catholic, then he was happy to debate the issue of definition of "Christian."But I'm not gonna lie about my own opinions, for him or anyone else.
TF,Why don't you e-mail me with your definition of anti-Catholic. Just a little secret between heretics! :-)
TUAD,That seems fair to me on the surface. But my understanding is that TF would not consider Dave to be a Christian in any sense of the word since he considers Dave's system to be "false." On the other hand, Dave considers Protestants to be "Christians," at least in some sense of the word, though he considers their system to be "false."Dave can correct me if my assessment is wrong.
In any case, and Dave understands my objections to this, I don't see why it is necessary to always refer to someone definitionally. If it were up to me and I were writing about what others said and thought, I would not feel a need to describe them as "anti" or "pro." I would let their statements make clear where they stand.For example, it seems unnecessary to me to say "anti-Catholic TurretinFan" or "anti-Catholic James White." It has the effect of "poisoning the well" right out of the gate since the most prominent and general public understanding of the term seems to indicate a strong bias and bigotry on the part of the person being discussed. I would merely refer to them by their names and let the readers decide for themselves. I wouldn't say, for example, "anti-Protestant Dave Armstrong" since connotations associated with that term carry the danger of misrepresenting his actual views.
Why don't you e-mail me with your definition of anti-Catholic. That would seal the fate of any constructive public discussion, wouldn't it? I wanna see TAO actually give his answer.
by the same essential token, would Dave Armstrong be anti-Protestant?I don't see how, since I have never denied that trinitarian Protestants are Christians.
Dave considers Protestants to be "Christians," at least in some sense of the word, though he considers their system to be "false."No; I (and the Catholic Church don't say that Protestantism is a "false system" (this is the whole point) in the way that I would describe, e.g., JWs or Mormons, who are not Christians at all.I say that Protestants (of all varieties) have a great deal of truth; they are brothers and sisters in Christ, fully Christian, can be saved and partake in true sacraments (baptism, marriage). It's a matter of degree; they also believe in some falsehoods, but in the main it is good and true.That is hardly saying that it is a "false system" as if it were far more bad than good. We're not saying, in other words, that it is a counterfeit; only that it is incomplete Christian truth. It's a bit skeletal or minimalistic. Bare-bones Christianity . . .
it seems unnecessary to me to say "anti-Catholic TurretinFan" or "anti-Catholic James White." It has the effect of "poisoning the well" right out of the gate since the most prominent and general public understanding of the term seems to indicate a strong bias and bigotry on the part of the person being discussed.To the contrary, it is important to distinguish because the anti-Catholic position changes everything. The reader then knows he is reading something by a person who doesn't think that Catholicism is a species of Christianity. It is always supremely important to be aware of folks' presuppositions, so that they can be correctly understood, where they are coming from.If someone doesn't understand the definition of a word, that is not ultimately my problem. I can't stop using it simply because there is ignorance about it. Rather, my task is to explain what I mean, and what is the proper definition used in my context of doctrinal discussion. I've done that a billion times (probably more than anyone else writing today on the Internet.If someone cannot grasp repeated explanations, filled with documentation of objective scholarly sources, I can't help that. The problem is in comprehension, not in my presentation.I would merely refer to them by their names and let the readers decide for themselves.It's easy for you as a Reformed Protestant to not have to worry about such distinctions because you are not subject to the results of them. Catholics consider you a brother in Christ, so it simply doesn't come up. But from where we sit, there is a huge distinction between the vast majority of ecumenical Protestants and the tiny minority of anti-Catholics. It is indeed a very important distinction to note.Your buddies object to being accurately described; we object to being read out of Christianity altogether. Which of the two do you think is a greater offense?I wouldn't say, for example, "anti-Protestant Dave Armstrong" since connotations associated with that term carry the danger of misrepresenting his actual views.It is patently obvious that it makes no sense. Mere disagreement on points a, b, c is not "anti-Protestantism." But an anti-Catholic says I am not a Christian at all. That goes way, FAR beyond honest gentleman's disagreements on doctrinal points.
I wouldn't say, for example, "anti-Protestant Dave Armstrong"But your friends, whom you "respect" are quite content to say:"inveterate liar Dave Armstrong""schizophrenic Dave Armstrong""narcissistic Dave Armstrong""vow-breaker Dave Armstrong""idiot and ignoramus Dave Armstrong""self-anointed so-called apologist Dave Armstrong""psychotic Dave Armstrong""evil Dave Armstrong""egomaniac Dave Armstrong". . . and so forth. And you're concerned that I simply say they are "anti-Catholic Protestants because they deny that Catholicism is Christian?Where is the sense of proportion? I know you have condemned some of this publicly, and have had the guts and integrity to defend me even in their forums, but c'mon; we have to have a sense of what is worse: a description that is perfectly legitimate and has scholarly pedigree, or flat-out insults, lies, slanders, smear campaigns . . .
And we see this "poisoning of the well" in Dave Armstrong's choice and decision in titling a previous post of his as "Young Earth Creationism Among Leading Online Anti-Catholic Protestants."Not at all. Your thinking is hopelessly muddled on this. First of all, I actually removed "fundamentalists" from the title, because I came to agree that it had negative connotations and was therefore not helpful. It wasn't essential to the title. It was overkill in that sense (though not particularly inaccurate in describing the people involved). I bowed to usage issues in that case. That shows that I am not completely opposed to such "social" considerations.But "anti-Catholic" is not analogous, because scholars use it. It describes a category of thought. It literally has to be in this title, because it is essential to the idea or goal of the paper.The point of the paper was precisely to show a sociological link between YEC and anti-Catholicism, in terms of both being held by those of each position.The point of all titles is to describe the contents of the paper or book as closely as possible (I as a writer better know that!). So to call it: "Young Earth Creationism Among Leading Online Protestants" would be inaccurate. YEC would be a tiny minority position among Protestants as a whole (as it is amongst Catholics). Thus, such a title would be highly inaccurate and not properly descriptive (the last thing anyone wants in a title).YEC is, precisely, often held by anti-Catholics: a small group of the much larger entity of Protestants. What else can I call the paper? It was designed to show a sociological link or association between those Protestants who deny that Catholicism is Christian and YEC.I could, I suppose, call the paper "Young Earth Creationism Among Leading Online Protestants Who Deny that Catholicism is Christian."That still works (though it is more awkward and less elegantly simple), but my comeback would be to say that this is what "anti-Catholic" means, anyway. We have descriptions in order to save a lot of writing. That is their purpose in the language. Words mean things.So if the word is misunderstood, it is time to define it carefully and discuss the definition. But the term itself is perfectly legitimate. I've made my arguments till I am blue in the face. Anti-Catholics never make similar arguments back. It's all emotion and subjectivism and double standards.All of these online Catholics use their own "anti" language (as I have documented over and over), yet no one in their ranks ever protests against that double standard. They don't apply their own supposed standards to themselves. They continue to use the pejoratives "papist" and "Romanist" -- knowing full well that virtually no Catholic would use these ridiculous terms of himself.But that's okay, because, well, we ARE Romanists, right? That's about the 2nd grade schoolyard level of the "reasoning" there . . .
But both sides have to necessarily be selective. This is what is imprecise in your scenarios. Your language is too sweeping.To say, "Protestantism is heretical" is not all that meaningful because one has to immediately distinguish WHAT is heretical. It has to be on a case-by-case doctrinal basis. We don't say that regarding the host of things where P's and C's agree.That is true of even the anti-Catholic position as well. For example, an anti-Catholic couldn't say, "when the Catholic Church teaches that trinitarianism is true, it is heretical," or "when the Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is the Savior, it is heretical," or "when the Catholic Church teaches that God created the universe, it is heretical," etc.If you say "Catholicism is heretical," meaning that it is a false church, a false system, a diabolical counterfeit, that takes it to an entirely different level. If by that is meant, "Catholicism is not a species of Christianity," then we immediately demand to know the basis for which such an extraordinary charge can be made.I say there is no such case, especially when the Catholic Church is considered historically, and Protestantism as derived directly from it.I say that both the theological and historical "case" for the anti-Catholic position is intellectually bankrupt; intellectual suicide: shot through with self-defeating notions and self-contradictions at every turn.
I have interpreted Pike's comments correctly, in context, as far as I can tell. Saying something is a "false church" is reading it out of Christianity. It's not the same as saying "it is a Christian communion, that teaches some errors," as if the anti-Catholic Reformed position regards Catholicism as on a par with Arminian or Wesleyan or Lutheran Christianity. It does not.If I have not interpreted him accurately, then he is welcome to come here and speak for himself. It's silly for us to go back and forth about what he meant and didn't mean, when he simply has to come here and inform us himself.If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it, just as I was willing to change my opinion that Pike was anti-Catholic in this very post, before I came across the evidence under consideration.But why should Pike come and actually clarify, seeing that he seems to think that I seek to deliberately lie every time I open my mouth?
There are ways in which the discussion becomes quite simple. One bottom line question, for example, is to ask:"Can a Catholic believe in ALL of the doctrines of the Catholic Church and be saved?"If the answer is yes, the person cannot possibly be an anti-Catholic. If it is no, then the person is anti-Catholic, because he is saying that being a consistent Catholic is inconsistent with salvation; it makes it impossible. Therefore, if the system precludes the possibility of salvation (assuming it is being totally adhered to) it can't possibly be a Christian system (since it is opposed to the central goal of Christianity: to be saved). Therefore, the view reduces to "Catholicism is not a Christian system," which is precisely the doctrinal definition of anti-Catholicism.And that can be determined, pretty much, by one's answer to this single question. If the system precludes salvation, it is not Christian. Period. What is your answer to the question, TUAD?
Peter Pike needs to have an intelligent discussion about exactly what he meant. No one would be happier than I to conclude he was not anti-Catholic. But from what I know at present, there is not enough information to prove to me that he is not, and enough to establish that he is, in all likelihood.If he refuses to clarify, that's his problem, not mine.Yet he feels free to utter all his insults about me. What do you think about those, TUAD?
Oh, so when Jesus insults the Pharisees, that is on the same ethical plane as when they insult Him? That's an interesting proposition . . . I answered adequately. Your language is too general and doesn't resolve anything (it only confuses things further if not carefully clarified). "Heresy" has to refer to individual doctrines.I should add, too, that Pike's remarks that I cited have to be understood in their larger context, which was Jason Engwer's post. Engwer was arguing:1) The Judaizers were not Christians.2) Catholicism is analogous to the Judaizers.3) Therefore, by analogy Catholicism is not a Christian system.4) Both are Pelagian systems of works-salvation.Etc.This presupposition was assumed throughout. Pike never denied it. His answers were in perfect harmony with it. There is some slight chance that he may dissent on the major point, but it was not at all evident in the thread, if so. That's why I'm perfectly willing to hear his clarification if I have misrepresented his position at all.Let him come here and declare that a Catholic could be saved if they believe everything that the Catholic Church teaches. That would go over real big with White and TAO and King and Swan and Hays and all the rest of the fabled, intellectually profound anti-Catholic club.
The only chance of anything at all being accomplished here is if Pilgrim dialogues with TUAD and TAO (the anti-Catholic vs. the ecumenical Calvinists). I would like to see it. I would actually enjoy it quite a bit.You guys will talk to each other normally, which is never possible between anti-Catholic Protestants and Catholics (as I know from 15 years' of sad experience).
This is how conversation with anti-Catholics go: the Catholic gets into great depth and looks at the question from many different angles, while the anti-Catholic attempts a series of "gotcha" maneuvers, doesn't comprehend the Catholic answers given, and then starts repeating something mistakenly thought to be a silver bullet, like a mindless mantra or chant.This is where we're at now with TUAD: following TAO's methodology perfectly.Pretty soon the insults and misrepresentations of what I have stated will follow. He's already tried to make out that I am a liar, so don't anyone think more insults aren't forthcoming if I refuse to play his game.Clones, sheep . . . mindlessness. I think it's very sad what anti-Catholicism does to a mind. It's a terrible thing to waste . . .
Answer this question first: "So if Peter Pike were to say that when he writes "false church" he means that "Catholicism is heretical", you'd be willing to retract your accusation that he is anti-Catholic?"and I'll be happy to answer your question, Dave.
Alright. Ask that one more time, TUAD [he has now asked the same thing about ten times and I have already answered, and he won't acknowledge it], and I will delete all your comments in this thread, on the grounds of stupidity. We're at the place where I got with TAO. You have free speech here like anyone else, but I am not required to put up with idiotic mantra-like repetitions and people acting like asses. No blog is required to do that.Your choice.
Pilgrimsarbour: "I wouldn't say, for example, "anti-Protestant Dave Armstrong""Dave Armstrong: "But your friends, whom you "respect" are quite content to say:"inveterate liar Dave Armstrong""schizophrenic Dave Armstrong""narcissistic Dave Armstrong""vow-breaker Dave Armstrong""idiot and ignoramus Dave Armstrong""self-anointed so-called apologist Dave Armstrong""psychotic Dave Armstrong""evil Dave Armstrong""egomaniac Dave Armstrong". . . and so forth."Dave Armstrong: "I can't retract what I don't know to be false."Dave, I don't know if you have asked these folks who have said these things about you to retract their statements, but if you have, then it's perfectly acceptable for them to reply to you in the way that you replied to me:"I can't retract what I don't know to be false."And you would have to accept it.Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house, Dave.
I have decided to delete most TUAD's remarks and most of the worthless interchange on the grounds of stupidity and boorishness.If we can get back to the intelligent discussion initiated by Pilgrimsarbour, then maybe we can accomplish something.
Dave,O.K., back. Well, it seems like this combox has really taken off. Who knew?But your friends, whom you "respect" are quite content to say:"inveterate liar Dave Armstrong""schizophrenic Dave Armstrong""narcissistic Dave Armstrong""vow-breaker Dave Armstrong""idiot and ignoramus Dave Armstrong""self-anointed so-called apologist Dave Armstrong""psychotic Dave Armstrong""evil Dave Armstrong""egomaniac Dave Armstrong". . . and so forth. And you're concerned that I simply say they are "anti-Catholic Protestants because they deny that Catholicism is Christian?There are a lot of folks that I respect for their knowledge, but with whom I am much less enamoured at the manner in which they conduct themselves online sometimes. I am not one who thinks that a person must either be totally respected or not. I think we can have degrees of respect for people without "throwing the baby out with the bathwater."There have been times I have inquired of them both publicly and privately regarding their use of what I consider to be unhelpful inflammatory language. You know this to be true because I have talked to you privately as well about your use of what I consider to be inflammatory language. At no time am I using my sinful self as the standard, since I can be snarky too. But the justification answer I get from both sides is always the same: "They do it too, and they're even worse!" It happens every time. Your complaint is about the type of insults they use. Their complaint is about the sheer volume of insults (in their view) used by you against them. Let's face it, Dave. For sheer volume of words written, you are at the top of the heap.I have seen from time to time certain modifications of language on both sides, and even removal of offending comments and parts of posts. There is an attempt to do better and that's always a good thing. Until, that is, some new offence occurs and the whole thing is out the window again.I would frame this in a way which is similar to the Ground Zero Mosque debate. We have a right to say and do certain things, but is it prudent? Is there a time when our rights should give way to a greater good? If we know from experience that something is received as particularly inflammatory, shouldn't we consider using an alternate way of expressing the same idea? Could it be that Paul's admonition in 1 Cor. 8 regarding the weaker brother might be applied here as well?
Meanwhile, I have found even better, undeniable proof that Pike is an anti-Catholic (or at least was for sure at the time he wrote it). Stay tuned. Shortly, I'll be adding it to the post itself.
TUAD: Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house, Dave. Adomnan: Don't use cliches when you have nothing worthwhile to say, TUAD.
There's no question that Blogger is having problems with posting comments. Almost everything I try to post, I guess because it's typically lengthy, says "URI Too Large." So I post double just to make sure it gets on there, then I delete the duplicate. Weird. Sometimes it never gets posted so I do it again. Then later both posts show up and again I have to delete one of them.
I'm deleting TAO's and TUADs posts now (in this thread) because they are uniformly boorish and inane.Perhaps they can do better in another thread, but my patience is exhausted in this one.
When it says "URL too large" it usually posts anyway. Go check if it did before trying to post again. I go through this all the time too.I have added new data (from the Pikester himself) proving Pike's Catholicism, to the post, as of 7:30 PM EST Tuesday.
TUAD (with yawning predictability), after acting like an ass in this thread, obnoxious as a class clown, went running over to Cryablogue to whine and say his piece about my decision to delete his nonsense:* * * * *Dave Armstrong is just a walking self-parody.He complains about his comments being deleted on other people's blogs, then he has the hypocritical gall to delete my comments.If his subjective tastes don't like my comments, then he needs to consistently grant that other people may subjectively not like his comments either and that's why they get deleted.Dave Armstrong is a hypocrite.http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2010/09/yet-more-proof-that-dave-armstrong-is.html#3006412569831803839
There is quality control on this blog. We actually try to engage in intelligent discourse and dialogue, as opposed to playing games with words, repeating questions like a dumb robot 12 times, when they have already been answered in great depth, engaging in childish "gotcha" techniques, murdering or ignoring definitions of words, refusing childishly to answer a very relevant question, name-calling, refusing to interact with important points, etc.People read this blog to learn. It is an educational tool, and hopefully a place to be edified as well as educated.If I decide that certain people are lowering the quality of the discourse here to such an extent that it will reflect very badly on my overall goals and the high quality that I seek to present here (in other words, abusing their privilege of free speech that I am happy to grant them 99.999% of the time), then I will remove those posts. Everyone does this.Thankfully, such occasions are rare (not routine, or an outright banning, as with most of the anti-Catholic sites). The only two people in memory who had their posts removed (other than Viagra spammers), are Turretinfan (the imimitable TAO) and TUAD. The grounds were the same in both cases: tactics such as those described above, and extreme, insufferable boorishness: essentially the tactics of the troll (universally recognized online as a bannable or deletable offense).There is an entire blog for that sort of thing: Boors All, if someone wants to do that.
More from TUAD at Cryablogue (he just doesn't get it; poor soul):Dave WeakDeak also deleted his own comments where he falsely accused me of being "anti-Catholic".I challenged him on it and requested that he retract his false accusation.He refused, and threatened to delete my comments if I asked him to retract again.I wonder if his deleting of my comments and of his false accusations is his way of issuing a retraction without losing face.http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2010/09/yet-more-proof-that-dave-armstrong-is.html#8327749796816617564
It's needless to say that he is revising history. Those of you who were masochistic enough to actually follow the thread know what happened; for those who didn't, TUAD is spinning. He wouldn't answer a simple question that would have shown clearly whether he was anti-Catholic or not. That was his game. Then he kept asking me to answer his question, that I answered many times (read my comments about "heresy"). His condition was that I answer his before he would answer mine.Childish games . . . So now TUAD can play the game that I am given to false accusations and am now hiding the evidence. That will play well to the choir over at Hays' slander-blog.Will these clowns ever grow up? Who has time for this? I wasted several hours today (time taken away from important work I had to do), hoping beyond hope that a Cryablogue regular like TUAD would actually engage in a normal, adult conversation. I learned my lesson. My idealism and optimism about reason winning out in the end will be the death of me . . .
I may have deleted a comment here and there, sure. All blogmasters do that if they are concerned about quality on their sites. You two are the only ones who were massively deleted.In any event, deletions here are exceedingly / extremely rare. The point is that I am an advocate of free speech: always have been. Just because you two can't carry on a normal, civil discussion, and i refuse to allow my blog to be overrun by your puerile inanities, doesn't prove that I am delete-happy.You can try that line if you wish, but it won't fly. People here know my long, consistent record on the matter. People know that I preserve entire posts from my opponents, in my 650 posted debates.I post complete written debates with James White (including our famous 1995 "postal debate" that he fled from in terror at the end, and our 2000 live chat in his chat room). He never does that. He wants to hide my side of things, because he knows that is in his best interest.The real hypocrisy lies with your anti-Catholic buddies, who systematically, cynically delete because they are afraid of Catholic replies or because they don't care about folks hearing both sides. I've documented James Swan's particularly outrageous hypocrisy, with blatant double standards (I'm completely forbidden to comment there, now):My Comments Deleted from the Anti-Catholic "Boors All" Blog For No Reason / Doe's Ludicrous Double Standards Regarding "Banning" Documentedhttp://socrates58.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-comments-deleted-from-anti-catholic.htmlHays regularly deletes my comments, and I have noted his seering hypocrisy as well:Anti-Catholic Steve Hays, Too, Resorts to the Good Ol' Delete Button, to Censor What I Wrote on His Bloghttp://socrates58.blogspot.com/2010/01/anti-catholic-steve-hays-too-resorts-to.htmlI am banned from White's chat room (esp. if David T. King Tut is present), was kicked out of Svendsen's old discussion forum, etc.Those things are systematic and comprehensive, whereas I have deleted extremely few posts in my 6 1/2 years blogging. They have to be either relentlessly insulting or stupid or both.I'm usually a very patient man, but there comes a point where I get fed up with stupidity and asinine behavior and have had enough of it. I've never been one to suffer fools and folly very well.
Wed Sep 29, 12:12:00 PM EDT
I also have documentation of the boorishness of TAO's methodology (recently parroted by TUAD), if people wonder what I am talking about when I say they are being boorish:To Bait or Not to Debate, That is the Question (Curious Tactics of "Argument" From Anti-Catholic "Turretinfan")http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2009/07/to-bait-or-not-to-debate-that-is.htmlHe literally (I kid you not) repeated the same question 72 TIMES. As with TUAD recently (who was clearly copying his ridiculously silly, brain-dead tactics), I had long since answered it, several times.
Note also how we are far from the topic, as usual, with TAO and TUAD whining about not having the right to act stupidly and obnoxiously on my site, rather than providing any counter-evidence that my assertions about Peter Pike's anti-Catholicism (recently bolstered by further evidence, added to the end of the post) are erroneous.A gigantic stony silence, or insults only in reply, or topic-switching, generally indicates that one has quite sufficiently established his point. I've seen it all, folks, in my nearly 15 years online.Pike had a big mouth when he thought he caught me in a terrible error (allegedly deleting his post). He went and put up his post "proving" that I am dishonest, and made a complete fool of himself. Now when he is caught by his own words about his own belief-system (after challenging me to do it), he has nothing to say at all. But it's at least a halfway sensible policy to say nothing if one has nothing worthwhile to say in response. That's better than the insults. He's already tried that and it hasn't worked out very well for him, because I am always happy to broadcast those unworthy tactics even further, to illustrate how anti-Catholics so often "argue".
More unyielding imbecility from TAO and TUAD; hence, more deletions.
"More unyielding imbecility from TAO and TUAD; hence, more deletions."If we're such imbeciles, why not let our comments remain instead of deleting them? Then people can see that we are imbeciles.But I say you're deleting our comments because they're really showing that you, Dave Armstrong, are the real imbecile. You're embarrassed and you want to hide. Hence, you delete comments and structure the thread discussion to a one-sided slant in your favor so that you don't look as bad as you would if you had just let all comments stay up.P.S. I'd probably concede to the charge that I'm not spending my time wisely by continuing to interact with such a delusional loser like Dave Armstrong.
More yawningly predictable words and actions from TUAD, posting at Cryablogue:***If anyone would like a copy of the post and thread that Dave WeakDeak wrote "Is Peter Pike an Anti-Catholic Presbyterian? Yes," then please e-mail me at truthunites@hotmail.com.I'll send it to you as it was before Dave WeakDeak started deleting comments.You can then examine the thread as it really was instead of the chopped-up, slanted version that Dave WeakDeak is peddling.http://triablogue.blogspot.com/2010/09/yet-more-proof-that-dave-armstrong-is.html#8604589382028688335I knew he would do this. Who cares? I couldn't care less if his anti-Catholic clone-buddies read the original exchange. More power to them. I have nothing to hide. I'm simply getting rid of the "pollution" on my blog for the sake of my readers. But TUAD's friends obviously have a much lower standard of reading material, so I imagine they would rather enjoy reading his and TAO's inanities.It has no effect on the substance of the issue here (whether Pike is an anti-Catholic). That remains uncontested.Let TUAD document all he wants. It is of no concern whatever to me, because my goal is not to "hide" but to maintain quality control and not to alienate intelligent readers who don't come here to read the rantings of fools. He won't get that, nor will TAO, but we know that is how they will react. Everyone else WILL get it.
. . . such a delusional loser like Dave Armstrong.Oh, goody. Thanks! I'll definitely keep that up, for documentary purposes. Now we're on the way to yet another anti-Catholic publicly proclaiming that I am mentally ill. That's currently the most fashionable insult of yours truly in their ranks (though "narcissist" is very close behind).It's talking points, you know . . . think "Democratic smear / attack ad politics" and you get the picture.I want something really original. I'm getting tired of "psychotic" (Swan), "schizophrenic" (Hays), "you really do need to get therapy" (Pike), etc. Can't you guys come up with something original? For original, we gotta go to someone like Gene Bridges, who compared me to Castro and the dictators of Iran and N. Korea (complete with pictures).Now there are some fun and dazzlingly original insults! I wanna see that level of creativity.If this keeps up, I will start hitting the "spam" button when deleting TUAD's and TAO's comments, which may mean (I don't know, because it is vague in Blogger) that the Blogger spam filter will pick out all their posts in the future and delete them as spam. Thus far, I chose "delete" when taking out their worthless posts. If that is what they desire, they can keep up the trolling idiocy.
Dave WeakDeak,Thanks for cross-posting my comment from Triablogue.
If we're such imbeciles, why not let our comments remain instead of deleting them? Then people can see that we are imbeciles.The ones that remain are quite sufficient for that purpose, thank you.Things will almost certainly get worse if you continue, and I will definitely leave all the juicy insults up, since that is my standard policy.When an opponent is self-destructing you get out of the way (and help broadcast it, too).
In other words, merely boring, boorish inanities are deletable as spam, but fun, entertaining insults are worthy to be maintained in this blog for important documentary purposes (showing yet again how anti-Catholics "argue"; thus helping to destroy their already dubious intellectual and ethical credibility).
Repetitious, non-substantive posts like those by TUAD and TAO merit deletion. They're spam, as you said, Dave, not because of the points they make, but because they're pointless. Are TUAD and TAO going to tell us when precisely we can and cannot use terms like anti-Communist, anti-evolution, anti-Castro, anti-Salafi, anti-Obama, anti-Reagan or anti-this or anti-that, or when James White should be permitted to label his opponents anti-Reformed or anti-Protestant?No? So what's the point of all this? Oh, yes, it has no point. I already said that, didn't I?
There is indeed such a thing as spam! And I venture to guess that 99 out of 100 people (assuming they had no prior theological predisposition) would quickly classify TUAD's and TAO's recent rantings as exactly that.This goes beyond even our profound theological differences, to a basic ethical issue of how to behave on a blog. They're welcome even now to make rational arguments if they wish. But I won't tolerate garbage and nonsense polluting my blog.I feel like Steve Ray, feeling that he has to take a shower every time he has dealings with James White.
TUADF is now letting it rip over at Boors All:"Although it pollutes the thread, Dave Armstrong's comments actually make him look bad, so I don't mind them remaining." (9-30-10)http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2010/09/did-martin-luther-believe-in-immaculate.html?showComment=1285875777236#c2019132523709442682"Please leave Dave Armstrong's invective up on this blog thread.Both TurretinFan and Tim Enloe are used to it, although quite understandably, they are annoyed by it.

Profile:Ioannis (Yannis) Bellos is an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems and Operations Management area at the School of Management, George Mason University. He received his Doctoral degree in operations management from the Scheller College of Business at Georgia Institute of Technology. He has also earned his diploma (M.Sc. Equiv.) in mechanical engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The overarching focus of his research is service design. In particular, Bellos investigates the economic and environmental implications of the decisions that a provider or manufacturer makes during the design of pure service or product-service systems. Pure service systems are characterized by a unique feature: customers interact with the provider during the service delivery process in complex and uncertain ways to co-create the service outcome. At the same time, product-service systems are business models that enhance the traditional functionality of a product by incorporating additional services. Their novelty lies in the fact that customer value is linked primarily to the “use” rather than the “ownership” of the product. Oftentimes, product-service systems have been associated with environmental benefits. His research is analytical in nature and spans a variety of methodologies such as optimization, microeconomics, game theory, and stochastic processes. His work on the "Design Challenges of Experiential Services" has received the 2012 Best Student Paper Award from the POMS College of Product Innovation and Technology Management, an Honorable Mention from the INFORMS Service Science Section (2011) and was also invited for presentation in the 2012 Services Special Interest Group of the MSOM society. Bellos was the finalist for the 2012 Georgia Tech Outstanding Graduate Instructor Award. Bellos is a member of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society (MSOM), and the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS). | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5464 | {"url": "http://som.gmu.edu/facultyandresearch/faculty/profile/49/107/raw/?311c75591b5d49d1343e06e040861236=1", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "som.gmu.edu", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:46:51Z", "digest": "sha1:VVLD64RQ6O3CXARVIHSZYJBM7RHASQXR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2640, 2640.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2640, 2676.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2640, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2640, 11.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2640, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2640, 228.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2640, 0.27753304]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2640, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2640, 0.02630385]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2640, 0.02630385]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2640, 0.02630385]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2640, 0.02630385]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2640, 0.04535147]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2640, 0.01814059]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2640, 0.00907029]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2640, 0.03524229]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2640, 0.19603524]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2640, 0.50561798]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2640, 6.19382022]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2640, 4.7355019]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2640, 356.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 339, 0.0], [339, 358, 0.0], [358, 381, 0.0], [381, 395, 0.0], [395, 431, 0.0], [431, 450, 0.0], [450, 511, 0.0], [511, 588, 0.0], [588, 2640, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 339, 0.0], [339, 358, 0.0], [358, 381, 0.0], [381, 395, 0.0], [395, 431, 0.0], [431, 450, 0.0], [450, 511, 0.0], [511, 588, 0.0], [588, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 339, 35.0], [339, 358, 2.0], [358, 381, 2.0], [381, 395, 1.0], [395, 431, 5.0], [431, 450, 2.0], [450, 511, 7.0], [511, 588, 8.0], [588, 2640, 294.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 339, 0.11935484], [339, 358, 0.0], [358, 381, 0.0], [381, 395, 0.0], [395, 431, 0.0], [431, 450, 0.0], [450, 511, 0.0], [511, 588, 0.0], [588, 2640, 0.00797607]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 339, 0.0], [339, 358, 0.0], [358, 381, 0.0], [381, 395, 0.0], [395, 431, 0.0], [431, 450, 0.0], [450, 511, 0.0], [511, 588, 0.0], [588, 2640, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 339, 0.1120944], [339, 358, 0.10526316], [358, 381, 0.08695652], [381, 395, 0.07142857], [395, 431, 0.11111111], [431, 450, 0.10526316], [450, 511, 0.1147541], [511, 588, 0.1038961], [588, 2640, 0.05506823]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2640, 0.00733334]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2640, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2640, 0.44384122]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2640, -183.65277366]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2640, -59.47313692]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2640, -17.90320198]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2640, 19.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Apollo 13, We Have a Solution: Part 3
By Posted 1 Apr 2005 | 21:12 GMT
As Apollo 13 sped toward Earth, mission control was beginning to worry about a new problem. While the lunar module had enough spare oxygen to accommodate Swigert as well as the intended lunar module crew of Lovell and Haise, carbon dioxide was beginning to build up. Normally lithium hydroxide (LiOH) canisters absorbed the gas from the air and prevented it from reaching dangerous levels, but the canisters onboard the Aquarius were being overwhelmed. The Odyssey had more than enough spare LiOH canisters onboard, but these canisters were square and couldn't fit into the holes intended for the lunar modules' round canisters.
Mission control needed a way to put a square peg into a round hole. Fortunately, as with the lunar module activation sequence, somebody was ahead of the game.
As reported in Lost Moon, Lovell's book about the Apollo 13 mission (cowritten by Jeffery Kluger; republished as Apollo 13), Ed Smylie, one of the engineers who developed and tested life support systems for NASA, had recognized that carbon dioxide was going to be a problem as soon as he heard the lunar module was being pressed into service after the explosion.
For two days straight since then, his team had worked on how to jury-rig the Odyssey's canisters to the Aquarius's life support system. Now, using materials known to be available onboard the spacecraft--a sock, a plastic bag, the cover of a flight manual, lots of duct tape, and so on--the crew assembled Smylie's strange contraption and taped it into place. [See photo, Breathing Easy]. Carbon dioxide levels immediately began to fall into the safe range. Mission control had served up another miracle.
Breathing Easy: To prevent carbon dioxide poisoning, the crew jury-rigged a filter in the lunar module. Astronaut Jack Swigert is on the left.
Although The PC+2 burn had been right on the money, the Trench was increasingly unhappy about the Odyssey and Aquarius's trajectory. Something was pushing the spacecraft off course (afterwards it would be determined that a water vent on the Aquarius had been acting like a little rocket jet, gently sending Apollo 13 in the wrong direction) and they needed another burn to correct the trajectory. But the Trench had given up the navigation system after the PC+2 burn. "We had to come up with some way to align the spacecraft" properly for the corrective burn, Bostick explained to Spectrum.
One of Bostick's controllers, Charles ("Chuck") Dietrich, remembered an alignment technique that had been developed for earlier NASA missions in Earth orbit. A spacecraft could be pointed in the right direction by using a portion of the surface of the Earth as a reference marker--in this case the terminator between night and day.
"All during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Earth-orbit programs, that was a technique we had used, but never on a return from the Moon. It was a little more dicey there." In Earth orbit, a small alignment inaccuracy prior to a re-entry would result in the spacecraft landing miles off target, but it usually wasn't life threatening. But if Apollo 13 missed the trajectory it needed to take to re-enter safely--known as the entry corridor--the results would be disastrous as the command module skipped into space or burned up in the atmosphere. "If you missed the entry corridor by a degree, that's a real bad day," says Bostick.
The crew was cold and exhausted by this point--temperatures on board had dropped almost to freezing point. The astronauts had gotten very little sleep since the explosion, and yet they pulled off the course-correction maneuver--and a second one a day later--perfectly.
It Was Now over three days since the explosion in oxygen tank two. It was time to get ready for re-entry. The first step was to recharge the batteries in the command module, which had been significantly depleted before the lunar module came on line.
Remember how, while figuring out lunar module lifeboat procedures after the Apollo 10 simulation, Legler had worked out a way to run power from the lunar module to the command module back along the electrical umbilicals that connected the spacecraft? That was about to come in handy now, because that power could be used to recharge the Odyssey's batteries.
"The biggest problem was that initially the lunar module guys didn't know how much power they were going to need" for the Aquarius to serve its role as a lifeboat, remembers Aaron. For the first 30 hours, Aaron's power-up team didn't think the lunar module guys were going to have any power to spare for the Odyssey: about twelve hours after the explosion, "we talked to them about getting some power," says Aaron. "They threw us out of the room."
But the PC+2 burn had shortened Apollo 13's return flight sufficiently that the Aquarius would be able to supply the power needed to charge the batteries. Working with North American Aviation and Grumman, through lunar module gurus Hannigan and Mel Brooks in the SPAN room, to refine the procedure, Legler and Bill Peters wrote up the needed instructions. The charging process was "only 20 to 25 percent efficient," remembers Legler, but it was enough.
But even with fully charged batteries, the Odyssey risked running out of electricity before it splashed down. Batteries are rated using a term called ampere-hours. If you start with a 40 amp-hour re-entry battery, and then turn on a piece of equipment that uses 1 amp-hour, and it takes 8 hours to finish the re-entry and splashdown, you have only 32 amp-hours left to power everything else. But if you can delay turning on that piece of equipment until 2 hours before splashdown, now you have 38 amp-hours to go around. "It's not only a matter of how large a load is, but how long that load is on for," says Aaron. Once a system had been turned on in the Odyssey, it had to stay on, so "the only variable was how few systems could we turn on and how late could we wait?" he explains.
Aaron had an inspiration. Normally in a spaceship power-up sequence, one of the first things turned on is the instrumentation system so everyone can be sure that the rest of the sequence is progressing normally. But for Apollo 13, the instrumentation would be turned on last for a final check of the Odyssey just before re-entry began.
It Was A Gutsy Move. It required the crew--in particular the command module pilot, Swigert--to perform the entire power-up procedure in the blind. If he made a mistake, by the time the instrumentation was turned on and the error was detected, it could be too late to fix. But, as a good flight controller should, Aaron was confident his sequence was the right thing to do.
"I still wake up at nights in a cold sweat and wonder about that," an older and wiser Aaron told Spectrum, "because the one thing I wasn't conscious of, and I prided myself on being conscious of everything, was the condition of the crew." Despite the cold, and the fatigue, and the stress, the crew had voiced few complaints. "You couldn't tell from listening to their voices how bad conditions had got. When they got back I realized, 'Oh my goodness, I built this incredible procedure that had to be executed perfectly, and I handed it off to a crew that hadn't had any sleep for three days,' " shudders Aaron, "I've thought about that a lot, ever since."

Researchers are connecting tiny puddles of electrons in a chip and making them compute--the quantum way

SECOND IN A 2-PART SERIES ON QUANTUM COMPUTING
Three and five! The result was correct. After spending long nights in the lab during the spring of 2001 tweaking and fixing a roomful of equipment, my colleagues and I at Stanford University and the IBM Almaden Research Center had built a computer that could successfully calculate the prime factors of 15. To be sure, you don’t need a computer for that--a fifth-grader could give you the answer. What was so remarkable about our machine was that it computed not by toggling a bunch of transistors but by manipulating deep quantum-mechanical properties of individual atomic nuclei. In doing so, this quantum computer prototype factored 15 in a fundamentally different way, and in fewer steps, than any conventional computer was capable of doing.Six years later, we’re still hunkered down in labs--albeit different labs, having dispersed to various research institutions throughout the world--and we’re now seeking to build bigger and better quantum computers. We want a computer that can factor not 15 or 21 or 35 but 300-digit-plus numbers. Such a system would in principle be able to break today’s most advanced cryptographic codes and could be used to engineer new ways of protecting data. A quantum computer would also easily simulate physical models that today’s top supercomputers can’t handle--calculating the quantum energy levels of atoms, for example, or simulating the behavior of conventional transistors as they shrink to diminutive dimensions where the laws of quantum mechanics rule. Quantum computers may also speed up key types of search problems in which the correct solution must be found among a vast number of trial solutions [see " Connecting the Quantum Dots."As we look forward to such possibilities, we often look back to that first Stanford-IBM machine. It taught us a couple of important lessons. The first was that the quantum-mechanical property we used to store the computer’s data proved an excellent choice. This property is spin, a kind of intrinsic angular momentum exhibited by atomic nuclei, electrons, and other particles.The second lesson was that the way we used spin posed some big challenges. The core of our quantum computer consisted of a custom-synthesized organic molecule in a solution. It had five fluorine and two carbon nuclei whose spins we used to store seven units of information, called quantum bits, or qubits. We blasted the molecule with radio-frequency pulses to alter the spins according to the computational steps of the factoring algorithm. To read out the qubits, we used nuclear magnetic resonance, or NMR, to generate a frequency spectrum of each spin. It worked beautifully for seven qubits, and in fact that system remains the only one to have factored a number to this day. But designing molecules suitable for more complex calculations became just too hard.To scale up our quantum computer, we needed something less like a test tube and more like a microchipIf we wanted a quantum computer that we could scale up, we needed a system that would let us precisely manipulate tiny bits of energy, that could be effectively shielded from external interference, and--most important--that could be built by replicating tiny identical building blocks within a small area. We needed something less like a test tube--and more like a microchip.
A semiconductor quantum computer is now the goal of dozens of research groups worldwide. In the last few years, these groups, including my own at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands, have made rapid progress in creating qubits based on materials and processes similar to those used in the microelectronics industry to manufacture standard processors and memory chips. [See ”The Trap Technique,” IEEE Spectrum, August, for the first part of this report.]The advantage of a solid-state design over the NMR approach is the ability to fabricate large arrays of miniature electronic devices that can be individually addressed and interconnected--just as we do with transistors in an integrated circuit. One promising approach to such a solid-state system was put forward by Daniel Loss of the University of Basel, in Switzerland, and David DiVincenzo of the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. In their January 1998 paper, ”Quantum Computation with Quantum Dots,” in Physical Review A, they proposed trapping individual electrons in semiconductor structures called quantum dots and then using the electrons’ spins as qubits.With typical dimensions from a few nanometers to a few micrometers--about the size of a virus--a quantum dot is a tiny area in a semiconductor that can hold anything from a single electron to several thousand. To make a quantum dot that’s suitable for a quantum computer, you start with a half-millimeter-thick wafer of gallium arsenide and cover it with an even thinner, 100â''nm-thick layer of silicon-doped aluminum-gallium-arsenide. Free electrons will concentrate at the interface between the two materials, forming a thin electron sheet. Next, you attach a set of gold electrodes to the top layer and apply negative voltages to them. The electrodes will repel electrons in the sheet underneath and create small islands of electrons isolated from the rest.Creating such electron puddles is relatively straightforward, but manipulating electron spin is a different matter. Like charge and mass, spin is considered an intrinsic property of electrons, and yet it remains somewhat mysterious. We can measure spin because it interacts with an external magnetic field, much as an ultrasmall magnet rotating about its own axis would. But unlike with a real magnet, when we measure an electron’s spin orientation, there will be only two possible outcomes: the spin and the external field are pointing in the same direction, or they are pointing in opposite directions. These two possibilities are also referred to as spin up and spin down, respectively.More interesting--and bizarre--is that spin can also exist in a combined state of up and down. This superposition state is one of the things that set quantum computers apart from classical ones. A three-bit conventional memory, for example, can hold any combination of three bits at a time: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 110, 101, or 111. But using qubits, and representing spin up as 0 and spin down as 1, you can do much better: a three-qubit memory can hold all those eight states simultaneously. As a result, if you perform a calculation using those three qubits, you in effect perform a calculation on all eight states at once. As you add more qubits, this quantum parallel processing increases exponentially.To perform quantum computations, however, you need to link the qubits somehow. The way researchers do that is by using the quantum phenomenon of entanglement. Two entangled spins can exist in a superposition of, say, up-down and downâ''up. You don’t know which electron has which spin until you measure it. But as soon as you measure one spin, that means the other spin must have the opposite value. How do they ”know” which way to point? Scientists devised ingenious experiments to test entanglement and concluded that entangled particles don’t carry a ”preprogrammed” behavior. Instead, according to quantum mechanics, the pair of electrons forms a single entity. Each electron’s spin by itself has no definite orientation until one of them is measured, no matter how far apart they are. Einstein rejected this notion and famously called it ”spooky action at a distance.”Spooky indeed. But those are the rules of quantum mechani | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5468 | {"url": "http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/dottodot-design/1", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "spectrum.ieee.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:37:27Z", "digest": "sha1:XZG7UFC57RCVLJIN5CYHXABSDFQF36ZF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 7901, 7901.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 7901, 8146.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 7901, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 7901, 27.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 7901, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 7901, 292.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 7901, 0.41176471]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 7901, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 7901, 0.00929656]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 7901, 0.00929656]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 7901, 0.00929656]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 7901, 0.0032538]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 7901, 0.00743725]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 7901, 0.00402851]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 7901, 0.01586252]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 7901, 0.14606742]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 7901, 0.45933014]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 7901, 5.14673046]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 7901, 5.67857628]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 7901, 1254.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 123, 0.0], [123, 227, 0.0], [227, 278, 0.0], [278, 307, 0.0], [307, 354, 0.0], [354, 3655, 1.0], [3655, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 123, 0.0], [123, 227, 0.0], [227, 278, 0.0], [278, 307, 0.0], [307, 354, 0.0], [354, 3655, 0.0], [3655, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 105, 12.0], [105, 123, 2.0], [123, 227, 16.0], [227, 278, 9.0], [278, 307, 4.0], [307, 354, 8.0], [354, 3655, 529.0], [3655, 7901, 674.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 123, 0.0], [123, 227, 0.0], [227, 278, 0.17021277], [278, 307, 0.0], [307, 354, 0.02222222], [354, 3655, 0.00526805], [3655, 7901, 0.00798258]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 105, 0.0], [105, 123, 0.0], [123, 227, 0.0], [227, 278, 0.0], [278, 307, 0.0], [307, 354, 0.0], [354, 3655, 0.0], [3655, 7901, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 105, 0.11428571], [105, 123, 0.16666667], [123, 227, 0.00961538], [227, 278, 0.15686275], [278, 307, 0.13793103], [307, 354, 0.78723404], [354, 3655, 0.01332929], [3655, 7901, 0.01837023]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 7901, 0.90747559]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 7901, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 7901, 0.81697708]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 7901, -228.16960828]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 7901, 93.74366487]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 7901, -245.53657762]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 7901, 61.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Matthew Fox Has Never Watched Lost Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 at 2:00pm PST
- by Josh Wigler
Despite all of the progress that Jack Shephard made as a character and all of the sacrifices he made for his friends and beloved Island, Matthew Fox has never seen an episode of Lost.
Nominated for an Emmy award for his performance in the final season of Lost, Fox admitted to Newsweek and his fellow nominees that he’s never actually watched the series because he’s uncomfortable viewing his own performances. Instead, Fox followed the show’s progress by reading the scripts and living through Jack’s shoes — and even though he didn’t view the episodes, he still enjoyed the story tremendously. Still, I have to agree with Emmy winning “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston’s advice to Fox: “It’s a good show. You should see it some time.”
Watch Fox’s confession for yourself in the video below.

Guillermo del Toro Turns Toronto Into Tokyo For Pacific Rim Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 at 12:45pm PST
- by TJ Dietsch
Canada’s CBC News recently did a piece on an unusual occurrence in downtown Toronto, it was apparently turning Japanese. Or, more accurately, turned Japanese by director Guillermo del Toro for his film Pacific Rim. Called Still Seas by the reporters, Pacific Rim features humans in giant robots facing off against huge monsters attacking the Earth. Note that the CBC report says that Tokyo got clobbered by a sea monster. They also said that they will be filming in Toronto throughout the rest of the month. Pacific Rim, which opens May 10, 2013, stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Willem Dafoe, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr., Diego Klattenhoff and Ron Perlman.

Posted: Thursday July 26, 2012 12:47PM ; Updated: Thursday July 26, 2012 9:20PM Lawyers: Shower abuse victim intends to sue Penn State Story HighlightsLawyers for a man who claims to be victim of Jerry Sandusky intends to sue PSUThe lawyers said in a statement that they have gathered 'overwhelming evidence'Victim wants to hold officials accountable; PSU can't comment on pending litigation
Dottie Sandusky says she still loves her husband and that he's 'not who they say he is.'Gene J. Puskar/AP HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- For months, the identity of the boy who was sexually assaulted in the locker room showers by Jerry Sandusky was one of the biggest mysteries of the Penn State scandal. Now, for the first time, a man has come forward to claim he was that boy, and is threatening to sue the university. The man's lawyers said Thursday they have done an extensive investigation and gathered "overwhelming evidence" on details of the abuse by Sandusky, the former assistant football coach convicted of using his position at Penn State and as head of a youth charity to molest boys over a period of 15 years. Jurors convicted Sandusky last month of offenses related to so-called Victim 2 largely on the testimony of Mike McQueary, who was a team graduate assistant and described seeing the attack. "Our client has to live the rest of his life not only dealing with the effects of Sandusky's childhood sexual abuse, but also with the knowledge that many powerful adults, including those at the highest levels of Penn State, put their own interests and the interests of a child predator above their legal obligations to protect him," the lawyers said in a news release. They did not name their client, and The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sex crimes without their consent. The university said it was taking the case seriously but would not comment on pending litigation. University President Rodney Erickson and the board of trustees "have publicly emphasized that their goal is to find solutions that rest on the principle of justice for the victims," a school spokesman said. The statement from the man's attorneys said Victim 2 suffered "extensive sexual abuse over many years both before and after the 2001 incident Michael McQueary witnessed." McQueary testified in December at a hearing that he had seen Sandusky and a boy, both naked, in a team shower after hearing skin-on-skin slapping sounds. "I would have described that it was extremely sexual and I thought that some kind of intercourse was going on," McQueary said. McQueary, who estimated the boy to be around 10 years old, reported the abuse to school officials, including longtime coach Joe Paterno, but none of them told police. In a recent report conducted by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and commissioned by Penn State, the investigators excoriated Paterno and the other administrators for not attempting to identify Victim 2, saying it showed "a striking lack of empathy." Trustees fired Paterno, who has since died, because he failed to do more about claims against Sandusky, and the scathing independent review said several top school officials looked the other way because they were afraid of bad publicity. The NCAA has vacated 112 Penn State wins. In a pair of voicemails recorded last year, released with the statement and posted online by the lawyers, a voice that's purportedly Sandusky's expresses his love and says he wants to express his feelings "up front." The voicemails are dated Sept. 12 and Sept. 19, less than two months before the former Penn State coach was arrested on child sex abuse charges. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 sex abuse counts and awaits sentencing. The second voicemail asks whether Victim 2 would like to attend Penn State's next game. The attorneys said Sandusky left "numerous" voicemails for their client that fall. Sandusky, who acknowledged he showered with boys but denied molesting them, has said very little publicly since he gave interviews in the weeks after his arrest and did not testify at his trial. His wife, Dottie Sandusky, testified that she never saw him doing anything inappropriate with boys he took to their home. On Thursday, she told a reporter for the Centre Daily Times that she still loves her husband and that "he's not who they say he is." Before the trial, defense attorney Joe Amendola said he had met with a man he believed he might be Victim 2 and the man told him he had not been abused by Sandusky. Amendola said he was not convinced and did not intend to subpoena him, but also said Sandusky himself was insistent they had the right person. The statement from Victim 2's lawyers leaves many questions unanswered, including whether he had been in contact with prosecutors before or during the trial, whether he remembers McQueary, and whether he is the same person who met with Amendola. "Jerry Sandusky's abuse of Victim 2 and other children is a direct result of a conspiracy to conceal Sandusky's conduct and the decisions by top Penn State officials that facilitated and enabled his access to victims," the statement read. "We intend to file a civil lawsuit against Penn State University and others and to hold them accountable for the egregious and reckless conduct that facilitated the horrific abuse our client suffered." The statement did not say when the lawsuit would be filed or contain details on what redress the plaintiff is seeking. The lawyers said they would not have further comment, and messages left for their spokesman were not immediately returned. Several messages seeking comment from Amendola and Sandusky's other lawyer, Karl Rominger, were not immediately returned. Prosecutors had said on several occasions they did not know the identity of the boy, and they offered no reaction to the lawyers' announcement Thursday. The attorneys who released the statement include several based in Philadelphia and in State College, home to Penn State's main campus, where McQueary says the shower assault took place. They also represent three other young men Sandusky was convicted of abusing but have not filed any lawsuits. A second accuser has filed paperwork indicating an additional complaint is in the works, while other lawyers also have indicated they represent young men with potential claims. This week Penn State's general liability insurer sought to deny or limit coverage for Sandusky-related claims. Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Insurance argued that Penn State withheld key information needed to assess risk. In June, after Sandusky was convicted, the university said it hoped to quickly compensate victims and would reach out to their lawyers.

Nadal: ATP not concerned about players' health

SAO PAULO (AP) -- Rafael Nadal criticized the ATP on Tuesday for not doing enough to protect players' health, saying the increase in hard-court events will lead to long-term injuries that will affect players after they retire.
"The ATP worries too little about the players,'' said Nadal, who was in Brazil to play his second tournament after a seven-month layoff from a left-knee injury. "It should care more for them.''
The 11-time Grand Slam winner said he doesn't expect major changes anytime soon, but thinks it's time tennis officials consider ways to improve the players' long-term health.
"For future generations, it would be good to see a less aggressive tennis life,'' he said. "Not only because of what happens during your career, but also because of what happens after your career, about how is your body when your tennis career is over.''
Nadal said because of the way he's played tennis, it's unlikely he'll be a recreational athlete after his professional career.
"After ending the career it would be nice to be able to play football with friends or tennis,'' he said. "But with this surface, I don't think it's going to be possible.''
The 26-year-old Nadal said hard courts were "too tough'' on players' bodies and made it difficult to avoid injuries. Tennis is the only major sport where players have to play on cement, said the greatest clay-court player of the Open era.
"This is not a subject for the players, it's a matter for doctors,'' he said. "The ATP has to start thinking about ways to lengthen the players' careers. I can't imagine football players playing on cement, I can't imagine any other sport involving aggressive movements such as tennis being played on such aggressive surfaces such as ours. We are the only sport in the world making this mistake, and it won't change.''
Nadal also complained about the tour's attempt to strictly enforce the 25-second rule between serves, saying it will not benefit the sport.
"People like to see great rallies, long matches, and for that to happen, the 25 seconds are not enough,'' he said. "If the ATP wants a sport which is faster but doesn't take into consideration a lot of strategy or great rallies, then it's right doing this. I think the players in the locker rooms are not very happy with that rule.''
Nadal, who lost in the final of his first comeback tournament in Chile last week, said he wasn't worried about wins and his main focus is to regain rhythm on the court.
"I need time, I need weeks of matches and practice,'' he said. "I'm not prepared to think about titles yet, I'm thinking day-to-day. After so many months without playing, it's hard to think about titles.''
Nadal said he's still feeling pain in his knee, but it's getting better.
"There are days in which it hurts and it limits me physically, but there are days when it's better,'' he said. "During the bad days it's complicated. But it's positive because a month ago maybe 80 percent of the days were bad, now it's 70 percent of the days and next week or within a month it will probably be 50 percent.''
Nadal dismissed changing his style to try to extend his career.
"I'm not that good to be able to reprogram my style, I only have one, it's virtually impossible to change it,'' he said. "I'm confident that my body will hold up. I'm not sure it will happen next week, or next year, but I'm confident that it will be like before again.''
He said he wants to be fully fit to play at the 2016 Rio Olympics, which he acknowledged likely will be his last.
"Playing in 2016 is a long-term goal, but it's very real,'' he said. "I will be working daily to make sure I can play in 2016 and play well.''
Nadal plays doubles on Tuesday and singles on Thursday. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5472 | {"url":

By Jeff Saukaitis, TSN Contributor -
Answering key NFL questions after Week 4 Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Most NFL teams have completed the first quarter of their regular season. So, despite the general unpredictability of the league, some trends are starting to develop.
Let's attempt to answer key questions on fans' minds:
WHICH 2011 PLAYOFF TEAMS ARE MOST IN JEOPARDY OF MISSING THE 2012
POSTSEASON?
Well, duh, the 0-4 New Orleans Saints have to top the list. Importantly, they're already four games behind unbeaten Atlanta in the NFC South Division standings. The wild-card route would likely be the necessary playoff path, but it's probably going to take a 10-6 record to nab one of the two spots.
So, can the Saints go 10-2 the rest of the way? With head coach Sean Payton suspended for the whole season, and with New Orleans' defense as porous as it's been, that would be wishful thinking. Yes, the Saints have plenty of talent, but they still have road games left against Denver, Atlanta, the New York Giants and Dallas, and they still have home games left against San Diego, Philadelphia, Atlanta and San Francisco.
At 1-3, the Detroit Lions will have a difficult time returning to the playoffs, too. Following their Week 5 bye, they have back-to-back road games at Philadelphia and Chicago. They could be staring at 1-5 after that, which would all but eliminate them from contention.
Even if they survive that tough stretch, they also have a Thanksgiving Day date with Houston and a Week 16 visit from Atlanta ahead. The home loss to Minnesota on Sunday really damaged the Lions' hopes. If not for a rally against St. Louis on opening day, the Lions would be 0-4.
Don't look now, but the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants are 0-2 in NFC East games. Sure, they're 2-2 overall, and they didn't play particularly badly in either loss, but when you're in what figures to be the toughest division race in the NFL, starting 0-2 in divisional games is cause for concern.
The Giants, of course, are a championship-caliber team, but they still have road games against the likes of San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta and Baltimore, and their remaining home schedule includes Pittsburgh, Green Bay and Philadelphia.
Last year, a 9-7 regular season was enough to get the Giants a championship. They might be looking at a similar record this year, but with the expected improved records of teams like Arizona, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle and Washington in the NFC, it's likely that 9-7 won't be enough to get to the postseason this time around. New York will need to win at least 10 games this regular season.
Pittsburgh is the other 2011 playoff team that probably needs to be concerned. At 1-2, the Steelers still have plenty of time to right the ship. It's just that there's a disturbing trend developing (although perhaps the expected return of Rashard Mendenhall on Sunday will solve it): The Steelers can't run the ball anymore.
No Pittsburgh player has rushed for more than 43 yards in a game this season. Imagine that. Sure, they had been a pass-first team the last few years with Ben Roethlisberger under center, but the Steelers had always been able to count on their rushing attack to close games out in the past.
If the Steelers continue to become more predictable on offense, it's going to be tougher to handle the elite teams. Pittsburgh looks like it's going to win between nine and 11 games. It's possible that nine wouldn't be enough for an AFC playoff berth.
WHICH TEAMS ARE MOST LIKELY TO WIN THEIR DIVISION TITLE, IN ORDER?
With a three-game lead already in the NFC South (as well as having a roster loaded with talent), Atlanta is certainly one of the most likely division winners this year. Top threat New Orleans is 0-4.
With an equally good chance of winning its division is 4-0 Houston, which has a 1 1/2-game lead over Indianapolis in the AFC South. Top threat Tennessee is 1-3.
New England has the third-best chance at a division crown, despite a mediocre 2-2 record. Currently, the Patriots are tied for first in the AFC East with Buffalo and the New York Jets.
Still, can anyone take Buffalo as a serious threat, now that New England rallied from a 21-7 deficit to crush the Bills, 52-28? Does anyone think that the Jets, minus all-world cornerback Darrelle Revis (and possibly top wide receiver Santonio Holmes for a lengthy time, too), can overtake New England?
Those are the only three teams that appear to be essentially a lock to win their respective divisions. Let's go with San Francisco as having the fourth- best chance. Yes, Arizona is undefeated and in first place right now, but the 49ers are just one game behind in the standings and they have the NFL's best defense.
Baltimore, in the AFC North, probably has the fifth-best chance to be a division winner. The Ravens are tied at 3-1 with Cincinnati, and perennial power Pittsburgh could still be a factor, but Baltimore just looks like the most complete team of the bunch.
The other three divisions are too close to call. The best guesses? Look for Peyton Manning-led Denver to edge perennially underachieving San Diego in the AFC West. Chicago and Green Bay will probably fight to the finish in the NFC North, and the NFC East race could involve all four teams. At the very least, Philadelphia, Dallas and the New York Giants ought to remain in the hunt until the end.
WHICH TEAM IS MOST LIKELY TO 'EARN' THE TOP PICK IN THE 2013 DRAFT?
The obvious pick would seem to be Cleveland, since the Browns and New Orleans Saints are the league's only winless teams. The Tennessee Titans have been outscored by a league-worst 70 points, but that could primarily be attributed to their extremely difficult schedule (New England, San Diego, Detroit and Houston).
Let's not pick either of those teams. Let's go with Jacksonville. It should be said, however, that there is about as much parity as ever in the NFL. Any one of six or so teams can challenge for the worst overall record.
If Jacksonville gets the top pick, the most interesting question centers around whether it would choose a quarterback (Matt Barkley or fast-rising Geno Smith) or be content with Blaine Gabbert and ship the No. 1 selection for a king's ransom, like St. Louis did with the No. 2 selection this past offseason.
WHO WILL WIN THE NFL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD?
Quite a few teams are overachieving, so the Vikings' Leslie Frazier and the Cardinals' Ken Whisenhunt are among the top early contenders for this award. However, since St. Louis, with a 2-2 record, has already equaled its 2011 win total, here's a vote for Jeff Fisher.
The Rams led in the final minute against Detroit before losing a close one. This is possibly the most-improved team in the NFL, and that's what usually wins coaching awards. The Rams have been down for a while, but they've been quietly building a strong defense. They'd need to get to 8-8 for Fisher to win the award, and it says here that they will.
WHEN WILL THE 1972 MIAMI DOLPHINS BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE?
There's an urban legend that as the only team in the Super Bowl era to complete a season as undefeated champion, Miami's 1972 alumni annually get together for a champagne toast to celebrate the final unbeaten NFL team's initial loss of a given season.
Three teams sit at 4-0: Arizona, Atlanta and Houston. History shows that each of them will probably lose a regular-season game (or three or four) before it's over. Let's figure the '72 Dolphins will celebrate no later than Week 8.
Arizona's upcoming schedule: Week 5 at St. Louis, Week 6 at home versus Buffalo, Week 7 at Minnesota, and Week 8 at home versus San Francisco.
Atlanta's upcoming schedule: Week 5 at Washington, Week 6 at home versus Oakland, Week 7 bye, and Week 8 at Philadelphia.
Houston's upcoming schedule: Week 5 at the New York Jets, Week 6 at home versus Green Bay, Week 7 at home versus Baltimore, and a Week 8 bye.
It seems like there's a potential loss during the next four weeks for each of those teams. Arizona will probably drop one of its next two road games. Houston will probably split those tough back-to-back home games against Green Bay and Baltimore. Atlanta will probably be an underdog at Philadelphia.
So, if there's any truth to the urban legend, get ready to drink up relatively soon, 1972 Dolphins.

§ 416.1570. Decision by hearing officer.
(a) General. (1) After the close of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a decision or certify the case to the Appeals Council. The decision must be in writing, will contain findings of fact and conclusions of law, and be based upon the evidence of record.
(2) In deciding whether a person has been, by reason of misconduct, disbarred or suspended by a court or bar, or disqualified from participating in or appearing before any Federal program or Federal agency, the hearing officer will consider the reasons for the disbarment, suspension, or disqualification action. If the action was taken for solely administrative reasons (e.g., failure to pay dues or to complete continuing legal education requirements), that will not disqualify the person from acting as a representative before us. However, this exception to disqualification does not apply if the administrative action was taken in lieu of disciplinary proceedings (e.g., acceptance of a voluntary resignation pending disciplinary action). Although the hearing officer will consider whether the disbarment, suspension, or disqualification action is based on misconduct when deciding whether a person should be disqualified from acting as a representative before us, the hearing officer will not re-examine or revise the factual or legal conclusions that led to the disbarment, suspension, or disqualification. For purposes of determining whether a person has been, by reason of misconduct, disqualified from participating in or appearing before any Federal program or Federal agency, disqualified refers to any action that prohibits a person from participating in or appearing before any Federal program or Federal agency, regardless of how long the prohibition lasts or the specific terminology used.
(3) If the hearing officer finds that the charges against the representative have been sustained, he or she will either—
(i) Suspend the representative for a specified period of not less than 1 year, nor more than 5 years, from the date of the decision; or
(ii) Disqualify the representative from acting as a representative in dealings with us until he or she may be reinstated under § 416.1599. Disqualification is the sole sanction available if the charges have been sustained because the representative has been disbarred or suspended from any court or bar to which the representative was previously admitted to practice or disqualified from participating in or appearing before any Federal program or Federal agency, or because the representative has collected or received, and retains, a fee for representational services in excess of the amount authorized.
(4) The hearing officer shall mail a copy of the decision to the parties at their last known addresses. The notice will inform the parties of the right to request the Appeals Council to review the decision.
(b) Effect of hearing officer's decision. (1) The hearing officer's decision is final and binding unless reversed or modified by the Appeals Council upon review.

Wednesday: Worship the Creator Posted on December 10, 2013 by SSNET Staff
The heart of the book of Revelation is about worship. While the dragon, the beast from the sea, and the beast from the earth (often called “the false trinity”) join forces to unite the world in worshiping them (see Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 15; 14:9, 11), God calls the human race to worship the Creator (Rev. 14:7). Those who do not worship the “image of the beast” risk losing their temporal lives (Rev. 13:15; see also Daniel 3), while those who do worship that image lose eternal life (Rev. 14:9–11).

What a choice!
Read Revelation 14:12. What does this teach us about the role of God’s commandments in the final conflict?
Worship is inextricably connected with God’s commandments. Revelation 13 and 14 are full of allusions to the Ten Commandments: “image” (Rev. 13:14-15; 14:9, 11), idolatry (Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 15; 14:9, 11), blasphemy (Rev. 13:1, 5-6), the Sabbath (Rev. 14:7), murder (Rev. 13:10, 15), and adultery (Rev. 14:4, 8). The final “contest will be between the commandments of God and the commandments of men.”—Ellen G. White, Prophets and Kings, p. 188.
Since the rise of the theory of evolution, it has become particularly important for us to uphold and affirm our belief in a six-day Creation. This teaching is the foundation of our worship of the Lord as Creator. Evolution, even a kind that purports to believe in the Bible, guts Seventh-day Adventism of all that it stands for. Without Creation, the belief in the “everlasting gospel,” among other teachings (such as the Sabbath), is seriously compromised, even negated.
The phrase that describes God as having “made heaven and earth, [and] the sea” alludes to the Sabbath commandment (Exod. 20:11). The Sabbath is the central issue in the conflict over God’s commandments. As with no other commandment, the designated day of worship is suited for a test of loyalty because it cannot be deduced by logical reasoning. We keep it only because God has commanded us to do so. Creation also goes hand in hand with judgment. The phrase “springs of water” (Rev. 14:7) alludes to the Flood (Gen. 7:11) and points to God as the righteous Judge of the world (2 Pet. 3:5–7).
Nothing we believe as Seventh-day Adventists makes sense when taken apart from the Lord as Creator, and nothing in the Bible is as clear a sign of God’s creatorship as the Sabbath. How seriously do you take the Sabbath? How can you have a deeper experience with the Lord through obedience to this commandment?

please answer the question on Wednesday for me so that i may understand what is the question talking about.
Reply ↓ Denielle Wilson on December 11, 2013 at 7:37 am said:
The question is something we should ask ourselves individually, because we all won't answer it the same way. Seeing that the Sabbath commandment confirms that God is the Creator, and that there are many theories becoming popular today that are doing away with God's existence, keeping the Sabbath is something we should not do lightly. For me, I think that I can do more to treat the Sabbath not just like any other day.

I must object to one statement here:
"As with no other commandment, the designated day of worship is suited for a test of loyalty because it cannot be deduced by logical reasoning. We keep it only because God has commanded us to do so."
I object very strongly.
This seems to imply that the Sabbath is an arbitrary command. In my humble but strident opinion, this is the worst thing we can say about God--even worse than any theory of evolution.
God is not arbitrary and therefore the Sabbath is not arbitrary either.
The vast majority of SDAs will never believe in evolution (and correctly so); yet we have had an entire quarterly on the subject.
However, large numbers of SDAs still believe that God is arbitrary and that it is right for Him to be so! *That* belief is what undermines the Sabbath and possibly all of our other doctrines as well.
That, in my humble opinion, is the direct threat to the core of the SDA message based on the Great Controversy over God's character.
The Sabbath is not just some random day that God likes. It is not arbitrary.

Hi Andrew,
I agree with your concern. But perhaps this is not the best application of it. The argument is that there is no secular logical or scientific argument for the keeping of the seventh day as the Sabbath. The only reason for keeping the Sabbath is that as Creator, He created the seventh day for the purpose. And if keeping the Sabbath is important, then surely teaching the reason for keeping the Sabbath - that He is the personal Creator of the universe is very important. The 13 studies on creation teach us that God is not just "arbitrary" in asking us to keep the Sabbath. That's the way I see it. And as a postscript I regret to have to say that there are quite a few "educated" Adventists who do believe in evolution over billions of years. They say that's how God "created."
Reply ↓ Tyler Cluthe on December 12, 2013 at 10:36 am said:
Inge, as to your postscript it is indeed unfortunate that a very significant number of people have bought into the evolution philosophy which completely undermines faith in the Bible in so many ways. I think we also need to realize that it is not only the intellectuals that are involved but also those that blindly play follow the leader whether it be concerning origins or the issue over the day of worship.
Reply ↓ Larry West on December 12, 2013 at 5:11 am said:
I agree with you. Our God is not arbitrary. The commandment says, "Remember". Every week when we gather together on Sabbath, we discuss and remember. The first Sabbath that was created was for the purpose of the universe to "Remember". Through out eternity we will remember.
Andrew, I think you have made a valuable point. I think the way the statement is worded is how we have come to view the Sabbath issue as a church which in my opinion is not the best way to think of it. When Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath” (Mk 2:27 NKJV) I think He was saying that God made the Sabbath with purposeful design to be a benefit to man rather than simply an arbitrary test.
That being said, it also seems to me that any time we have a choice to make between God and Satan there is an automatic test involved. I really don’t believe God tests, at least not in the way we so often think of it. He is not in the business of tempting in any way (James 1:13-14) and testing seems to suggest a form of temptation, besides, why test when you know what will happen already.
As I see it, the problem with the Sabbath is the same as it is with any of God’s commandments in that it involves a choice. For instance, in the Garden of Eden God limited Satan’s activity to one tree so that man wouldn’t be continually badgered by the devil. However, in allowing Satan a way to access man the human race was given a choice and because of that a test was automatically put in place. I believe the same exists of the Sabbath. Even though God made the Sabbath to be a blessing to humanity by its very nature it also becomes a test because we have to choose whether or not to keep it. So I don’t think the lesson was entirely wrong in saying the Sabbath is the test for the last days especially when we consider the vast majority who have chosen to disregard it in the same way that Cain disregarded God’s command concerning what to sacrifice. It is just that the emphasis is wrong in focusing on law rather than a loving gift from our Creator.
Reply ↓ Andrew Legall on December 13, 2013 at 7:03 pm said:
I agree with you completely. The Sabbath is a test more by default than by design.
Because of what it represents it can (and will some day much more) reveal loyalties in the Great Controversy.
As Warren Buffet said (I think about the economic crisis in 2008): It's only when the tide goes out that you'll know who's been swimming naked.
That's not the *purpose* of the tide, but it sure does reveal!
I think the Sabbath is a test in a similar way. It will become a clear line more and more (but only as we properly understand its meaning).

It's high time to worship the creator of the universe before it is too late
I think I see what you are saying although for me, creation is only part of the reason for keeping the Sabbath.
To me (and it was not always so in my mind), the sole purpose of the Sabbath is to point to the character of God as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ; as this is what the Great Controversy is all about. In other words, what *kind of person* is the Creator?
As is written in Patriarchs and Prophets:
"Every manifestation of creative power is an expression of infinite love."
This is what I think of as the reason for keeping the Sabbath.
Although I think God delights to see us wonder in the beauty of nature and the universe and be enthralled by its majesty--I think His real end is for us to revel in the beautiful character of the God who made it all. God has demonstrated that He is worthy of worship--and not because He can wield/has wielded a "big stick" (and so you'd better...)--but because His character is beautiful and there is none like Him (the cross basically).
So while I reject some people's billions of years, I see it as less of a threat than those who have thousands and are that many miles away in their understanding of God's character. The latter comprise the solid majority (in my humble opinion).

The lesson author makes a very important point concerning the Sabbath Commandment being suited for a test of loyalty apart from logic. The question has been asked why we cannot do everything required on the Sabbath on Sunday, or any other day? The singular answer is – No human logic, God Said the Seventh Day! It was the same with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Why is the fruit forbidden – No human logic, just God said keep off something he had made!
Lack of fear for God is a widespread characteristic of our generation. Familiarity with a loving God whose judgments are not swift in our day has led us to relate to God as a ‘chummy buddy’ or just someone upstairs. We are not equal partners with the Eternal God and Sovereign of the universe. The way of the Lord is non-negotiable, whether or not we think it fair according to our own logic. It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves. That we are allowed to disrespect and show irreverence to the Supreme Potentate without great consequence is amazing to angels. The lack of fear for God stems from a casual view of Him on one hand and rebellion on the other. The Savior is popular, but not so the Lord. This lesson reminds us why we are SDA, and not some other religious group. The questions of authority, allegiance, worship, submission and righteousness by faith of Jesus are central to our mission.
Frustration and impatience with ‘poor results’ may push us to try something different. Still, we do not need a revamped marketing strategy, the rebranding of Jehovah’s image or new and modern views to make the Gospel more salable. Primitive godliness is far more advisable. If there is a problem with packaging it is with us who carry the message. We need a makeover, which is the point of the Gospel in the first instance, to restore in us the image of God. The Bible tells us what the last church lacks. It is the Holy Spirit. For those who still believe He who began a good work will see it to completion there is no need to panic. It may not end as quickly as we would like, but it will end. Keep pressing on and give the trumpet a certain sound.
I object again (nicely) to this statement:
"The lesson author makes a very important point concerning the Sabbath Commandment being suited for a test of loyalty apart from logic. The question has been asked why we cannot do everything required on the Sabbath on Sunday, or any other day? The singular answer is – No human logic, God Said the Seventh Day!"
This is not so in my opinion. The reason the seventh day is not the first day is outlined in the Bible:
"but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
That was Exodus 20:10 and 11
Here is Deuteronomy 5:15--
"And remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt and that the LORD thy God brought thee out of there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore, the LORD thy God has commanded thee to keep the sabbath day."
Plenty for reasons--none of them arbitrary.
Finally I'd like to point out that Jesus is the exact representation of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). God wants our allegiance to Him to be freely offered not out of an overwhelming fear; or even the idea that you'd better be on the good side of the baddest guy on the block.
God merits our allegiance because of His beautiful character.
It is precisely because people see the seventh-day Sabbath as arbitrary (an arbitrary command from God) that they have attempted to change the day to the first day!
If God is arbitrary in picking the Sabbath, then we have no defence against the idea that the Sabbath has changed or even been abolished--because, after all, that's what arbitrary means!
("If you love me, do this. No do that instead!")

In 1859, Darwin published his Theory of Evolution, the very date when God was establishing His church to proclaim the everlasting gospel "worship Him who made the heavens and the earth". What a timing and what a wisdom the serpent has.

There seem to be two different views here which are making replies miss each other.
Of course the Sabbath command is not "arbitrary" in that God says you can keep it or not keep it, it's arbitrary. Such a view of course would not be a Biblical concept.
God purposefully choose and blessed the seventh day at the end of creation week, and set it apart for holy purpose. The point is that there is no scientific or logical basis for a continuous seven day week cycle with the seventh day being the Sabbath. It is so because of Creation. And by accepting it we acknowledge God as the Creator and the One who sets in place times and law.

Ulicia, to me the question seems to be over the purpose of the Sabbath. One can certainly say as many have said of the Ten Commandments that they are not ten suggestions but that doesn't answer the question as to why God commanded what He did.
When the Pharisees confronted Jesus over how His disciples observed the Sabbath Jesus replied with a couple of examples and then a statement. It is interesting that the examples that Jesus used seem to flagrantly violate the laws and commandments that God gave (Mat 12:2-8) yet He didn't consider the violation a sin. What Jesus showed is that those laws that God gave were not given just to be there as some sort of inflexible legalism; that they were in fact "made for man" (Mk. 2:27 NKJV) to be a blessing to him and that there are times when they can be bent to a degree without violating them in principle.
Many comments in the past have been concerned over exactly how the Sabbath is to be observed as a matter of law but our church has wisely chosen to refrain from making authoritative statements on such matters. Just how the Sabbath blesses is a matter between God and the individual and is not to be dictated by some commandment of man. What one sees as proper on the Sabbath may not be so in the eyes of another but God blesses both because it, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mk. 2:27 NKJV).
That does not mean, however, that we can willfully disregard God's laws without consequence for if we do not only will we have turned our backs on Him and placed ourselves in Satan's camp but we will also lose the blessing that was originally intended for us to receive. The operative word here is "principle" which involves intent. There are many examples that could be given why this is so but space will not permit such a list.
So, what do I see as Sabbath blessing?
• A weekly rest that is in sync with our biorhythm.
• A weekly reflection on who we are accountable to.
• A weekly reflection on our responsibility to those placed under our care.
• A weekly reflection on our source of life and who is capable of resurrecting us.

For clarification neither the author nor my previous post is intended to convey the idea that there is no reason to keep the Sabbath. The reasons you advanced along with other reasons are valid. The point is one may accept all the reasons and then decide to commemorate or acknowledge these reasons by observing Sunday on the basis of human logic that God is not that peculiar or strict and He accepts whatever (This is one of the arguments presented by our Christian friends). They reason that God is not going to hurt anyone who complies with everything, just on another day. That is too arbitrary in their minds. Herein lies the danger, that we need to satisfy our our own logic or understanding before submitting to our Maker (Proverbs 3:5, 6)
See if the following conection made by EGW in Review and Herald August 30, 1898 helps a little:
"Every man has been placed on trial, as were Adam and Eve in Eden. As the tree of knowledge was placed in the midst of the garden of Eden, so the Sabbath command is placed in the midst of the decalogue. In regard to the fruit of the tree of knowledge, the restriction was made, “Ye shall not eat of it, ... lest ye die.” Of the Sabbath, God said, Ye shall not defile it, but keep it holy. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” As the tree of knowledge was the test of Adam’s obedience, so the fourth command is the test that God has given to prove the loyalty of all his people. The experience of Adam is to be a warning to us so long as time shall last. It warns us not to receive any assurance from the mouth of men or of angels that will detract one jot or tittle from the sacred law of Jehovah." | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5475 | {"url":

Emergence Magazine
When the regime of Muammar Qaddafi fell, Khaled Mattawa and Reem Gibriel (MFA ‘10) started the Arete Foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting the creative arts in the new Libya.
The Qaddafi regime had stifled and starved Libya’s arts, and Libya’s educational system reflected the lack of investment. So in 2012, Mattawa and his wife, Reem Gibriel, started the Arete Foundation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to promoting the creative arts in the new Libya. They named the foundation after the Greek-Libyan philosopher Arete of Cyrene, symbolizing the foundation’s interest in beauty, curiosity, and knowledge.
They set up gallery exhibits, a reading series, and organized an annual video art show—the first of its kind in the country. They staged a production of playwright Henrick Ibsen’s Enemy of the People. But even with bold ideas and good intentions, Arete struggled to get funding and attention in a country where the arts have been ruthlessly neglected.
“Here in America, kids will go into art and design because they want to be in art and design,” Mattawa says. “In Libya, the top 10 percent go to medicine. The next 10 percent go to engineering. Then maybe into the sciences, economics. If you cannot get into any other college, you end up in education or fine arts.
“Now, a lot of people who benefited from the old system don’t want the system to change,” he continues, ”but we’re determined to do something interesting, something new.”

Lucy Engelman: Illustrator for New Publication, “Collective Quarterly”
Lucy Engelman (BFA ‘11) is the illustrator of a The Collective Quarterly, a new publication celebrating travel, exploration and lifestyle. The inaugural issue, released earlier this month, takes a new aesthetically brilliant approach to advertising and is an overall great start to what will be a beautiful collection of stories, markers, and adventures. Here is a bit about Collective Quarterly’s intention:
“It follows select artists and artisans on a trip to the unseen hideaways that inspire them to craft uncommon goods. The camera lens brings into focus an often blurry creative process as they work alongside each other to discover truth, surprise and an aesthetic that delights. In these pages, you’ll find a carefully edited selection of dry goods, art, music, food, drink, and stories, all deeply rooted in the heritage and land around us. This journey hinges on a communion of likeminded creators. We are illustrators, photographers, and writers. We are shirt-makers, boot-crafters, and denim-cutters. We are bartenders, chefs, and musicians.”

Sarah Berkeley: Residency in Western Nebraska
Sarah Berkeley (MFA ‘11) will has been awarded a residency at Cedar Point Biological Station, from Jul. 6-18. This is the inaugural year of the residency, which was founded by Karen Kunc.
There are two projects I will work on while in residency at Cedar Point:
1. Walking historical trails at and near Cedar Point to generate 2-dimensional artworks from my GPS tracks. This is a continuation of my Walking Still series. So far, the longest walk I have completed was 21 miles. This chapter of the series expands my practice as the artworks will preserve what remains of the trails and document the contemporary experience of navigating them on foot. The artworks are a literal and figurative trace of the past.
Process: I record my walks with GPS (on a cell phone if there is a signal, using another device if not). I then convert the recorded GPS track into a single line that can be read by Adobe Illustrator. From there I create a vector line, which engrave into wood using at laser cutter. Once the plates are engraved I hand emboss the track onto paper. The works I have made so far range from 10ft x14ft to 5in x 5in depending on the length of the walks and the scale of the laser cut track. I am currently looking into streamlining this process for the smaller drawings by using a printing press. The larger works will always be hand embossed due to the large scale. (See my Walking Still series for examples of this kind of work.)
2. I will do short, site-specific performances for the camera that a direct responses to the landscape I am in and my emotional response to it. These works will provide a welcome interlude while my body is resting between walks. (See my Intimate Frustrations Series for examples of this kind of work.)
Jenny Schu: Exhibitions, Awards, Teaching Workshops
Last year, Jenny Schu’s (BFA ‘04) grant-related exhibition “Creating a Nature” led to 7 of her pieces going on to internationally juried shows in 4 different states. She also took home three awards from the Michigan League of Handweavers Conference Exhibits including Best of Show and People’s Choice Awards for “She Can’t See the Forest through the Trees.” Jenny was also one of the recipients of her own billboard in the Lansing MI area.
In 2014 she has given talks about her work to 2 fiber arts guilds and is gearing up for a summer of teaching workshops and working on two larger bodies of work. Jenny is offering 2 workshops through Interlochen College of Creative Arts, the first on May 31, and the second on June 30. In August she is teaching a 3 day bead-weaving workshop with the Michigan League of Handweavers.
For two weeks in May Jenny will be at Blueberry View Artist Retreat in Benton Harbor to focus on working on her Uprooted Series which includes beaded sculpture. There will be a reception at the end of her stay - details can be found on her website.

Study: Illinois Government Bloated With 6,963 Local Governing Bodies
Any Illinois readers think there’s way too much government out there these days?
Based on findings from a recent analysis by a Chicago-based non-partisan research organization that works “to make Illinois first in economic outlook and job creation,” the “Land of Lincoln” is the “Land of Too Much Government.”
From the Illinois Policy Institute’s November 2013 research report entitled, “Too much government: Illinois’ thousands of local government”:
Illinois has the most units of local government of any state in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, with 6,963 local governments, Illinois beats its nearest competitor by more than 1,800. Texas is No. 2 with 5,147 local governments.
The average Illinoisan resides in an area that has at least six layers of local government including county, township, municipality, both a primary and secondary level school district, and a community college district.
It is also quite common to have additional layers of government such as libraries, park districts, forest preserves, fire protection, sanitation, transportation and even mosquito abatement districts. These special districts add unnecessary layers of local government and bureaucracy, leading to expensive duplication of public services.
The result is higher costs for Illinoisans. Local government is primarily financed through local property taxes, and Illinois’ high number of governments contributes to the state having the second-highest property tax rates in the nation.
Multiple layers of government also make it harder for citizens to actively participate in the democratic process, which can lead to public corruption. Illinois is the third-most corrupt state in the country.

Illinois’ Total Unfunded Liabilities: $275 Billion
The following bit about Illinois’ total unfunded liabilities from a January 28 Investor’s Business Daily editorial was so depressing to read that I originally planned to blog about it much earlier this morning- but needed to step away. From the IBD website:
A recent release by the Illinois Policy Institute shows this [$96.8 billion unfunded debt to five state pension systems] is only the tip of the iceberg and when you add in other liabilities such as $54 billion in unfunded liabilities for retiree health insurance and $15 billion in pension bonds that Gov. Pat Quinn and his immediate predecessor, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, issued to avoid pension reform, Illinois’ total unfunded liabilities amount to $275 billion, or $58,000 in debt for each and every household in the state.
So what’s it going to be, Illinois? Since a booming economy seems unlikely to return anytime soon, will the Democrat-dominated Illinois General Assembly finally enact significant spending cuts? Raise fees and taxes through the roof? Throw public sector retirees “under the bus?”
They’re going to have to do something real quick.
Or watch the whole thing unravel.

Motorola CEO: Illinois ‘Asleep At The Switch, And The Day Of Reckoning Will Come’
You know the state of Illinois has real fiscal challenges when a member of the U.S. President’s Management Advisory Board (PMAB) says that’s the case. Greg Brown, President and CEO of Schaumburg-based Motorola Solutions, spoke to Crain’s Chicago Business last week and said the following about his company’s relationship to the Midwestern state:
Illinois remains front and center for us for a variety of reasons: incumbency, skills that are resident, our existing footprint. It’s Illinois’ to lose, but Illinois is on a path to lose it. The state of Illinois is asleep at the switch, and the day of reckoning will come. You can’t have the state’s fiscal house being what it is and be able to attract capital. If Illinois kicks the can and stays in a four-corner offense, then capital will move out of state, including ours. I’ve had governors of Florida and Michigan proactively call me and say: “Would you consider moving a division, opening a plant? Would you consider moving R&D here?

Construction Starts on $225M St. Joseph’s Hospital-South in Riverview By Georgiana Mihaila, Associate Editor
A groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of construction for the first not-for-profit hospital to serve southern Hillsborough County—the $225 million St. Joseph’s Hospital South.
St. Joseph’s Hospital-South, part of BayCare Health System— a leading community-based health system in the Tampa Bay area—will be a full-service hospital offering a wide range of services from emergency care and women’s services to surgery and intensive care. The property will be located at 6901 Simmons Loop Road in Riverview, Fla., easily accessible via I-75 and Highway 301.
The 72-acre campus will include a medical office building that connects to the four-story, 352,000-square-foot hospital for convenient access to pre-procedure testing and physician offices. The site also will be home to a 40,000 square-foot, free-standing physician office building, which is expected to open in 2013 with imaging and laboratory services as well as primary care and specialty physician offices.
Hospital president and CEO, Isaac Mallah, said his staff has worked for more than seven years to get the necessary approvals to build the hospital. But the idea to build in this location was conceived in the mid 1980s, when the land was acquired.
In addition to providing health care to area residents, the project is expected to be a welcome addition to the business community. “Think about it: $225 million invested here and the ripple effect that will have,” said Congresswoman Kathy Castor during the groundbreaking ceremony. “First: construction jobs, boosting small business throughout the community. Then, the medical professionals that will move here and their families that will grow up here. This hospital is going to be an anchor for economic development for the SouthShore community and all of southern Hillsborough County.”
St. Joseph’s Hospital-South will join the other 10 not-for-profit hospitals in the BayCare Health System network in 2015.

Microsoft, Indigo Telecom and Kenyan Government Work Together to Provide Broadband Access to Remote Areas
TMCnet Contributing Writer
Bill Gates' (News - Alert) vision of having a computer in every home was to enable technology to be available to the masses. The company he founded is now taking that concept to the African continent in a pilot project that will provide affordable wireless broadband access to remote areas in Kenya.
The project is part of Microsoft's (News - Alert) 4Afrika initiative. The Washington-based company has teamed up with the Kenyan government and Indigo Telecom Ltd. to set up solar powered stations and uses TV white bands, opening up technology to areas that did not have it before. White spaces refer to the unused parts of the range of frequencies used by broadcast television. By their nature, these signals work well for traveling long distances and going through buildings to reach a device. It requires fewer base stations than normal radio signals would, and because these stations are solar powered, they can be set up in remote locations with little or no electricity. Microsoft hopes that the success of this program will make other similar programs possible throughout Africa. Initially, access will be made available in several schools, a library and a clinic in Nanyuki and a government office in Kalema. Indigo Telecomm will consult with local leaders about optimizing the service to best suit a community's needs. They will also set up computer labs using tablets with Windows 8 applications and Office 365, the online version of Microsoft's Office application suite. It may be argued that Microsoft's actions in Africa are self-serving. After dominating the part of the world where technology was widespread, they are now going after the rest of the world. So what I say, because that's what large companies do, they increase their presence wherever they can. Besides, a software giant like Microsoft is one of the few companies in a position to deliver this technology to remote areas like these communities in Kenya. It could open up many educational and business opportunities to the area that were not available before. And how can that be a bad thing?Edited by Jamie Epstein › View all Channels | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5487 | {"url": "http://technews.tmcnet.com/channels/broadband-solutions/articles/325957-microsoft-indigo-telecom-kenyan-government-work-together-provide.htm", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "technews.tmcnet.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:26:26Z", "digest": "sha1:Z6RPLBWU23ICBBRDOKJLFGILQMCCXYBE"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2247, 2247.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2247, 6980.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2247, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2247, 219.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2247, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2247, 250.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2247, 0.43198091]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2247, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2247, 0.03051771]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2247, 0.01089918]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2247, 0.02125341]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2247, 0.02506812]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2247, 0.00477327]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2247, 0.11217184]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2247, 0.5613079]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2247, 5.0]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2247, 4.97455017]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2247, 367.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 133, 0.0], [133, 433, 1.0], [433, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 133, 0.0], [133, 433, 0.0], [433, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 106, 15.0], [106, 133, 3.0], [133, 433, 51.0], [433, 2247, 298.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 133, 0.0], [133, 433, 0.0], [433, 2247, 0.00281532]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 133, 0.0], [133, 433, 0.0], [433, 2247, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 106, 0.11320755], [106, 133, 0.18518519], [133, 433, 0.02333333], [433, 2247, 0.02425579]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2247, 0.86427546]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2247, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2247, 0.79764479]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2247, -42.8644421]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2247, 39.45610352]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2247, -18.30404409]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2247, 19.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
A provocative, unsponsored assessment of current and future legal, regulatory, marketplace, and cultural issues affecting telecommunications and information policy presented by Rob Frieden, Pioneers Chair and Professor of Telecommunications and Law, Penn State University
The Lack of Competition in Cable Television Set Top Boxes Recently
Comcast migrated from offering 2 free digital to analog converters to offering
a rental at $1.99 per month. It got me
thinking why cable operators persist in this line of business when other
ancillary markets, such as wireless routers and even cable modems have competitive
options. The authors of Wobbling Back to
the Fire: Economic Efficiency and the Creation of a Retail Market for Set-Top Boxes offer
plenty of answers and economic theories; see http://www.phoenix-center.org/papers/CommLawConspectusSection629.pdf.
to T. Randolph Beard, George S. Ford, Lawrence J. Spiwak, and Michael Stern there
does not seem to be any financial upside for cable operators, or marketplace
harm in sole sourcing and rentals. So
are cable operators simply providing a service that no one else wants to
provide? The authors correctly note that
cable operators do not manufacture such devices, but instead contract for the
manufacture by unaffiliated companies. So what’s in it for the cable operators?
have a few empirical observations, again generated by personal experience. First the possibility exists that the rentals
of set top boxes, converters and modems represent a unrecognized profit
center. I suspect that the Pace
converter that allows cable subscribers to continue using older analog
televisions costs less than the devices used to convert off air digital signals
into analog. These more sophisticated
devices retail for about $40—50. So if
Comcast can rent the simpler and cheaper mini-converters for $2 a month, the
company breaks even in a matter of months even though subscribers might use the
device for many years. As
to those more expensive set top boxes the time to break even will take longer,
but again the length of rental without replacement may span many years. How many generations of set top boxes have
you run through in your years of cable television subscriptions? Bear in mind that cable operators typically
offer one set top box free and then charge $5 or more per month for additional
the possibility exists that cable operators believe that their proprietary,
non-compatible set top boxes provide greater opportunities to lock in consumers
and limit them only to features the cable companies and content providers are
willing to offer. Once upon a time these
stakeholders did not want companies like Tivo offering digital video recording
opportunities, so interconnection and technical compatibility issues provided a
means to thwart and stall competitive options.
cable operators, their trade associations and their sponsored researchers have
expressed opposition to extending the Carterfone
policy to television. Carterfone supports the right of
consumers to attach any device that does not cause technical harm. If applied to cable television, it would
enhance consumer freedom by preventing strategies to block or limit access by devices
cable operators don’t control. From my
vantage point the lack of progress in cable efforts to promote “true two-way”
access by televisions without a converter box means that cable operators see
upsides in mandating access only via their soul sourced devices. Additionally with digital transmissions,
subscribers must have a set top box or converter for each and every television
set thereby eliminating the previous free option of using a “cable ready” set.
the fact that consumers have not embraced CableCards may reflect their lack of
knowing that such an option exists, possibly the product of a strategy by cable
operators not to promote such an option. My
bottom line: the lack of a competitive market for set top boxes probably
reflects market failure artificially induced by cable operators.

Mel B Hits Back at Howard Stern’s “Inappropriate” Comments
Prime Time,
Mel B has branded Howard Stern "inappropriate" for questioning her judging abilities.
The 38-year-old former Spice Girls singer sits on the judging panel alongside the TV personality on America's Got Talent and though they now get on well, Mel was left speechless when she heard audio footage of his initial thoughts of her joining the panel.
Recalling when he first heard she was joining the show, Howard said, "At first I was like 'What kind of choice was that?,' Mel B, Scary Spice, wasn't she on Dancing With The Stars?' I was like, 'Who cares about the Spice Girls and who cares?' I saw a piece of tape of her, she's on X Factor Australia, my first reaction was I don't even know her."
After hearing the audio clip, Mel B said, "What can you say to that, that was kind of inappropriate."

Audrina Patridge: ‘The Hills’ Producers Made Me Fight Kristin
The Hills,
In a shocker to us all, Audrina Patridge has come out to say that her reality show The Hills was not always real.
"In the beginning, a lot of it was real. As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you're kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn't know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they lock the door on you," Patridge said. She went on to cite a specific example with her small sreen "nemesis" Kristin Cavallari:
"I actually had to leave early for another event, we were there for about three hours and they were like, 'You can't leave until you and Kristin get into a fight.' So I'm like, 'Oh my God, Kristin!' Kristin's like, 'Let's do it.' I'm like, 'OK, c'mon.' It was about Justin [Bobby] and we did it and we got to leave."

Charlie Sheen wants to make amends with Two And A Half Men co-creator Chuck Lorre.
The 48-year-old star has offered an olive branch to his former friend - whom he fell out with after he was famously fired him from the program in 2011 - and promised to reach out to him in person following an appeal on Twitter: "Hey Chuck. I have an idea that u need to hear [sic] after I make amends to you and yours. Which I will do in person. xox C [sic]."
The post included an image of the a People's Choice Award the American series won in 2007 for favorite TV Comedy, where Charlie played Charlie Harper.
The decision to sack the Anger Management star was made following comments broadcast during a radio interview, in which he referenced Chuck's real name Charles Levine, calling him "Chaim Levine," adding that he was a "stupid little man." Charlie also slammed a number of Warner Bros. executives before the show's network, CBS, suspended the final four episodes of the season and fired him. He then filed a $100 million lawsuit against Chuck however the pair later settled out of court.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s TV Show Cancelled
Cancellations,
Jennifer Love Hewitt's TV show The Client List has been cancelled amidst a creative standoff.
The actress' raunchy series - which sees her play a masseuse who provides her clients extra services in order to make ends meet - has been axed after two seasons by Lifetime following claims the star reportedly clashed with producers over who would be the father of her pregnant character Riley's child.
Jennifer, who is an executive producer on the series, is pregnant in real life with her co-star and fiance Brian Hallisay's baby and was eager for his character - who is her on-screen husband - to father the child. Show bosses were less than impressed with the suggestion and Lifetime refrained from renewing the show, which wrapped its second season in June, until the creative dispute was settled.
According to Deadline, the differences became "too much" for the channel and producer Sony Pictures TV, and both sides came to a "mutual decision" to end the series.

‘Girls’ Star Quits After Clashing with Lena Dunham
Renewals,
Christopher Abbott has quit Girls after clashing with Lena Dunham. The actor - who played Charlie in the HBO show - has left after reportedly falling out with the creator as they began work on season three.
"They've just started work on season three, and Chris is at odds with Lena. He didn't like the direction things are going in, which seems a bit odd since the show put him on the map," a source told Page Six.
However, Christopher's representative insists he left Girls in order to focus on "other projects." The representative said, "[Chris] is grateful for the experience of collaborating with Lena, Judd [Apatow], and the entire Girls cast and crew, but right now he's working on numerous other projects and has decided not to return to the show."
Lena recently revealed she is excited about season three and wants to extend its run from 10 to 12 episodes. "We're starting season three at the end of March. I'm so excited. I would love that [to have 12 episodes instead of 10] I think that a little more would be just a little more storytelling real estate, and it would be amazing. But you know, so I shoot four-and-a-half months out of the year, then I'm editing, then I'm doing press, then I'm writing, then I'm back."

‘Real Housewives’ Star Wants LeAnn Rimes to Join Cast
Brandi Glanville wants LeAnn Rimes to join the cast of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
While the pair have been involved in a public and bitter feud over LeAnn's current and Brandi's former husband Eddie Cibrian, Brandi, 40, wants LeAnn to join the reality series in order to make her look better.
"Brandi is a very smart cookie and thinks that if LeAnn were to join the cast, the audience would hate her even more. Brandi loves playing the victim and having LeAnn on the show would allow her to continue in that role as the long-suffering, spurned ex-wife," a source said.

The 45-year-old singer - who sits in between warring pop divas Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey on the panel of the singing competition - revealed that living in a "literal oestrogen nest" with wife Nicole Kidman and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, four, and Faith, two, helped him handle the on-set antics between his fellow judges.
When asked how he copes with Mariah and Nicki while on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, his Hollywood starlet wife quipped, "A four year old and a two year old and a wife, a lot of girls in our household."

At 6:39pm on May 11, 2013, Mark Ghaly said… Hey, i played in college and pick it back up quickly. Would love to hit. I live just accross from the Garfield Park courts in South Pasadena. Can play most any evening and with lights at the courts can also play a night (8:30 or 9pm) . Let me know if that would ever work. Thanks. At 10:04pm on July 22, 2012, Monik Khare said… Sure, let me know. At 12:46am on July 22, 2012, Monik Khare said… Sorry, I saw your message just now. You want to hit tomorrow (Sunday) some time? I can also hit on weekday evenings. At 4:51pm on February 26, 2012, Manoela Wunder said… Hi Larry,
Sorry I just got this. Today wouldn't have worked for me but we can arrange for something next weekend if you're up for it.
Thanks for reaching out!
Manoela At 8:14pm on November 27, 2011, Rock Hopkins said… Cool club, but a bit steep for my budget :) At 6:44pm on November 27, 2011, Rock Hopkins said… Yeah. Nice spot, and good hit. Just hit again with my neighbor, so from nothing in two weeks to twice in a day. Hope to do it again soon. At 12:10pm on November 26, 2011, Rock Hopkins said… Yup, that is the cell. See you at 9. At 10:57am on November 26, 2011, Rock Hopkins said… Are those the courts you need a code to play on?
9 is fine. Just give me address so I go to the right courts :) At 10:34am on November 26, 2011, Rock Hopkins said… I cut off my dues to Arroyo Seco a while ago. Just not getting enough tennis from them, so not sure about a court there.
So. Pas HS is not far from Orange Grove and Garfield, and has a number of courts.

Myth Busting: the ‘Constitutional Expert’You are here:HomeConstitutionMyth Busting: the ‘Constitutional Expert’
by Geoff Broughton
Today, public opinion is on our side. According to a Rasmussen Reports 59% of voters believe the States should be able to ‘opt out’ of Federal Programs it does not agree with. Compared to 47% who agreed when asked about National Health care in December. The number jumps to 63% when asked about opting out of Federally unfunded mandates.
That is a trend in which I predict will give rise to much more attention from the opposition. In the few articles and blogs which have surfaced so far, those who are opposed to a truly federal System as laid out by the founding fathers in our constitution, have called upon ‘constitutional experts’ to put down such silly talk of State Sovereignty, and the notion that the Tenth Amendment has any real bearing on today’s political landscape. One op-ed that comes to mind was from the LA Times titled Constitutional objections to Obamacare don’t hold up, back in January.  Akhil Reed Amar begins his editorial by listing his credentials.
I’m no healthcare expert, but I have spent the last three decades studying the Constitution, and the current plan easily passes constitutional muster. Now I am not here to argue with Mr Amar, in fact Rob Natelson already took on each of his points here. My goal is to debunk the term, ‘Constitutional expert’ and have a little fun with Mr Amar’s credentials. Lets see, 3 decades is 30 years which breaks down to 10,957(365 days times 30 plus seven for leap years). A quick google search and I got that the entire Constitution plus amendments including the signature page is 8,114, or 8060 with out the signatures. Which means he could have spent one day on each word and still had 2,897 days to do other things, perhaps the Declaration of Independence which is 1,457 words long. I can only imagine the excitement in day one where they did an indepth study on the word: “We”.
Of course, I am being silly, but so is the idea of a ‘Constitutional Expert’. Even with the formal language and preamble’s, the document is not all that complicated. What Mr Amar has no doubt studied for the last 30 years is a ‘case law’ look at Supreme Court decisions, and how those decisions have radically redefined what was originally written by our founders.
We know that our founders studied the works of Blackstone, John Locke, Montesquieu, and Cicero and very much believed in Natural Law. The Declaration and Constitution are filled with Natural Law precepts like unalienable rights and separation of powers. Up until the early 1900′s the prevailing theory in jurisprudence was something known as Legal Formalism
From Wikipedia Search of Legal Formalism:
Legal formalists argue that judges and other public officials should be constrained in their interpretation of legal texts, suggesting that investing the judiciary with the power to say what the law shouldbe, rather than confining them to expositing what the law does say, violates the separation of powers.(emphasis added)
At this time, a theory called Legal Realism began to become popular, most often connected with Oliver Wendell Holmes. But more important to our history is a man named Roscoe Pound who believed in something called Social Jurisprudence. From Wikipedia Search of Legal Realism:
Legal realists advance two general claims: 1) Law is indeterminate and judges, accordingly, must and do often draw on extralegal considerations to resolve the disputes before them. 2) The best answer to the question “What is (the) law?” is “Whatever judges or other relevant officials do“.(emphasis added)
Why is knowing who Roscoe Pound is so important ?
From Wikipedia Search of Roscoe Pound:
In 1910 Pound became professor of law at Harvard. He was dean from 1916 to 1936 during what was called Harvard Law School’s “golden age”. He helped shape a faculty and program of legal education equipped to implement his concept of sociological jurisprudence. A large number of the law school graduates were active in formulating policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and Pound supported many of its early measures. This is an important point. Either the law is what it says, or it is what a judge or other official says it is. These two ideas cannot be comingled can they? Our method of selecting Supreme Court Justices makes predicting the outcome of any particular case difficult.
From a Wikipedia search of the Supreme Court:
There are a number of ways that commentators and Justices of the Supreme Court have defined the Court’s role, and its jurisprudential method:
Current Associate Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are originalists; originalism is a family of similar theories that hold that the Constitution has a fixed meaning from an authority contemporaneous with the ratification, and that it should be construed in light of that authority. Unless there is a historic and/or extremely pressing reason to interpret the Constitution differently, originalists vote as they think the Constitution as it was written in the late 18th Century would dictate.
Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter was a leading proponent of so-called judicial restraint, in that he believed that the Supreme Court should not make law (which, by invalidating or significantly altering the meaning of Congressional bills, Frankfurter felt they were), and so believers in this idea often vote not to grant cases the writ of certiorari. Associate Justice Stephen Breyergenerally advocates a quasi-purposivist approach, focusing on what the law was supposed to achieve rather than what it actually says, and measuring the possible outcomes of voting one way or another.
Other Justices have taken a more instrumentalist approach (see judicial activism), believing it is the role of the Supreme Court to reflect societal changes. They often see the Constitution as a living, changing and adaptable document; thus their ruling will be in stark contrast to originalists. Compare, for example, the differing opinions of Justices Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is a more instrumentalist justice.
Finally, there are some Justices who do not have a clear judicial philosophy, and so decide cases purely on each one’s individual merits.
So this is why any so called expert on one side of an argument can be countered with another and why I tend to reject it altogether. Since your study of this system is bound to be prejudiced by your philosophy of law, since Constitutional law is really Case Law.
From a Wikipedia Search of Case Law:
Which is the reported decisions of selected appellate and other courts (called courts of first impression) which make new interpretations of the law and, therefore, can be cited as precedents in a process known as stare decisis. These interpretations are distinguished from statutory law which are the statutes and codes enacted by legislative bodies; regulatory law which are regulations established by governmental agencies based on statutes; and in some states, common law which are the generally accepted laws carried to the United States from England.
Our opponents will often be from the judicial activism approach. But there is not a mythical high priests understanding here, no matter what the experts say. You either believe in the Constitution as written, or you believe in the Constitution as what your masters think it means today. For me it is like choosing between Orwell’s 1984 vs or Jefferson’s writing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. I want you to google 1942 Wickard v. Filburn. In a Wikipedia search on that case you find,
The Supreme Court, interpreting the United States Constitution‘s Commerce Clause (which permits the United States Congressto “regulate Commerce . . . among the several States”) decided that, because Filburn’s wheat growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for chicken feed on the open market, and because wheat was traded nationally, Filburn’s production of more wheat than he was allotted was affecting interstate commerce, and so could be regulated by the federal government.
There is no way you can read the interstate commerce clause found in Article One Section 8 which reads,  ”To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes”, and come to the conclusion reached by the Supreme Court in 1942.  For the Courts to decide the Federal Government could control the output of a private citizen on his own property for his own use is an abomination of the Constitution and the system of Liberty it is supposed to protect. Conservapedia goes into much more detail if you want to read more.
If you agree with me that Natural Law should be what governs a free society, then the question you have to ask yourself is: How long will you be satisfied asking the Federal Government to limit its own powers, before you accept that the answer that an inconsistent court or legislators like Pelosi or Conyers have made clear.
CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?â€
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?â€
John Conyers on Congress reading the Bills?
John Conyers: “I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill’.  What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?â€
The answer is the Federal Government will never limit itself. Quotes Supporting State Sovereignty:
Alexander Hamilton:
“It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system, that the State governments will, in all possible contingencies, afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority.â€
“We may safely rely on the disposition of the state legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority.â€
 James Madison:
“The local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the supremacy, no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.â€
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.â€
“Hence, a double security arises to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other; at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.â€
 Justice Scalia:
“This separation of the two spheres is one of the constitution’s structural protections of liberty. Just as the separation and independence of the coordinate branches of the federal government serve to prevent the accumulation of excessive power in any one branch, a healthy balance of power between the States and the Federal Government will reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse from either front.â€
“…the Constitution’s conferral upon Congress of not all governmental powers, but only discreet, enumerated ones.â€Â “It is incontestable that the Constitution established a system of dual sovereignty† The next question will be: Do you have the political will to be called names, and be made fun of, and say no to federal monies, in order to win back true liberty and freedom for the next generation? If so the answer is State Sovereignty, and that starts by making sure we elect people who will stand up for our rights instead of promising to “do” things for us.

24 thoughts on “Myth Busting: the ‘Constitutional Expert’” Reply February 23, 2010 at 2:33 pm Guest Another Great Article! I'm a lawyer and studied under the 'case law' method at a major law school. I was good at it and graduated 2nd in my class. I worked in the federal judiciary as the 'senior law clerk' for the Chief Judge of a federal court. I studied the Constitution in my spare time because the reality of 'Con Law' is that you never read the Constitution – you read thousands of opinions from other judges interpreting the Constitution. I used to say that if you couldn't find at least one opinion that supported whatever position you wanted to take, you hadn't completed your research. Trust me, the legal system is not about 'finding the law' as writ. It's about taking a position and then finding CASES to support that position. Wickard is the poster child for what's wrong with the judiciary. What a joke! Much like those who espouse a 'living Constitution.' Again, what a joke! I have been ridiculed by other lawyers, judges, law professors, legislators, law clerks, etc. for my 'simplistic' view that the Constitution means just what is says; no more and no less and that we MUST be bound by it if we want to be a 'nation of laws.' People have violently opposed my views on emotionally-charged issues such as Lincoln and state sovereignty. But, it helps to remember the quote from the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer (which I have posted on my wall): "All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." I'm still waiting for step 3!! Reply February 23, 2010 at 4:14 pm Jeff Matthews Yes, Guest (atty). Me, too. You describe the legal system fairly well. As to the claim that the federal government has exceeded its authority and the whole system in general is back-@sswards, you'll get no argument from me. I totally agree. Further, much weight appears to be given to the assumption that the issue of "state vs. federal" is even a genuine debate over authority. I am one who thinks the debate is not genuine and that the Constitution means nothing to people with lots of money and influence who think it is just a piece of parchment that gets in the way of their goals. As to the main thrust of the movement, time will tell whether people realize that there are vested money interests in ignoring the Constitution. In closing, the reason you studied cases in Con-Law and not so much the Constitution, itself, is because these cases are the law. If you want to play the lawyer game from within an establishment system, you need to work it like an insider – that means case law. The Constitution does not matter in that arena. There are other interests at stake, and that's why gray areas are invented – to serve those interests. Reply February 23, 2010 at 6:10 pm Guest Jeff You are right and that's why I eventually quit the law. While I agree with you, it's sad and it portends ill for this country and my kids. In the end, 'might makes right' and, today, might = money = power. It's always been that way and that's why the IDEAS behind the Constitution are so special to me. Reply February 23, 2010 at 8:09 pm Jeff Matthews On the flip side, there is a "realistic" approach to practicing law. This Tenth movement is fabulous, and I stand behind it. However, I am a realist. Moneyed interests never give up their power voluntarily. If anyone thinks voting will solve the problem, then my response is "hope springs eternal." I honestly don't see that happening. I like the ideals that came from our nation's founding. I am critical of the notion put forth that a "document" will ever keep people in check. As you say, "might = money = power." There is no document in history that has ever stood the test of time, and the Constitution is not going to be one of them. About the only thing I see as truly relevant in the Constitution is the right to bear arms. Not that this right has not been abridged. Nobody gets to build nukes in their garage, and for good reason. But the relevant part is not that it was written on parchment, but that it was a public consent to the idea that the people may overthrow any government….. if they can. As was stated in Texas vs. White (1869), this remains the law, but unsuccessful rebellions still remain illegal. Like we needed a court to tell us that. Duh! Anyway, you are right in noting that "it's always been that way." To finish your thought, it will always be that way. It is the nature of humans. Is it negative? Maybe, but that depends on how you want to view life. If I thought the Constitution was the chief modality for my existence, I'd be pretty dang depressed. Fortunately, it is not. And once people are sick and diseased and in the streets begging, then, a real, progressive and populism might spring up. Right now, people are vocal, but comfortably sipping beer and watching Survivor Tahiti. As long as they are that comfortable, life ain't so bad. There are things to do and money to be made. I have never seen any document in history stand firm against any successful revolution. That's what I think of paper. I think in terms of people and social stability, foremost, and documents are secondary. Documents are worthless to the extent the people don't care to follow them. Obviously, the Constitution has traveled a long way down that path. So, what is its value in terms of today vs. 200 years ago? Not much. Any movement capable of genuinely restoring original intent is a movement strong enough to just start from scratch and write on a new piece of parchment. In other words, the hands of time only move clockwise, and I doubt we're ever turning back. Forge on…. February 25, 2010 at 3:40 pm Guest Jeff The value of the Constitution is, at least, that it shows us an historically accurate view of what the original scheme was so those of us who can read can clearly see how far off track the current system has become. This gives us some perspective and an opportunity to rally others to that view. Without the written, unchanging document itself, it would just be oral history and it would be unreliable and not credible. Further, it gives us the benefit of the thoughts of people who were VERY smart and who had suffered through a crisis and prevailed. As you say, life it too easy today to get that view. The written word is arguably mankind's greatest invention. It's not the paper that matters, as I'm sure you're aware, it's the IDEAS memorialized on the paper that matter. We could start over and re-invent a system of government or we could push hard to move this one back in the direction of its original design. Your option seems to be to wait until 'the people' are sick and diseased and begging in the streets and then try to put it all back together as was done in Germany in the late 1920's. I'd rather try to save the current system than risk another Hitler. Reply February 23, 2010 at 7:08 pm Tim The reason why the constitution is ignored and case law is upheld is because the people in power like having the power to create things themselves. Reading the constitution as is would mean that their judicial oligarchy will be destroyed and their power to create law will be destroyed and all oligarchies protects its own self just as any democratic oligarcy would. The judicial oligarchy does not want their power restrained just like anything else in government.
The best argument that I can make is that a constituion was written by the people through the democratic process so if a legislature or a judge ignores it then they are violating the will of the people themselves since the constitution is just written instructions of how the constitution should behave.

Reply February 23, 2010 at 1:38 pm B. Johnson Regarding constitutional “experts,” don’t tell anybody, but here’s Thomas Jefferson’s “secret formula” for interpreting the Constitution.
“Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense.” –Thomas Jefferson to William Johnson, 1823. ME 15:450
“Common sense [is] the foundation of all authorities, of the laws themselves, and of their construction.” –Thomas Jefferson: Batture at New Orleans, 1812. ME 18:92
The problem is that Jefferson had evidently overlooked the following by Voltaire. “Common sense is not so common.” –Voltaire, French author, humanist, rationalist, & satirist (1694 – 1778)

Its time to either demand they do their job and protect our rights from this Federal usurpation or replace them. This is the signal issue upon which my vote will rest, as there can be no more critical issue then our liberty. Reply February 24, 2010 at 7:39 pm B. Johnson The problem that I have with Hamilton and his concern about national authority invading public liberty is the following. He was one of the first federal officials to twist constitutional clauses so that Congress could exercise powers that the Founding States had specifically decided not to give Congress. Hamilton's illegal national bank is a glaring example. Reply February 25, 2010 at 1:10 am Monorprise I agree Hamilton was a lier and a hypocrite, but that is nonetheless not relevant. The specific mention in The Federalist No. 28 which was published before the Constitution's ratification in "selling it" to the people and State of New York is relevant. It is relevant as it tells us of the actual powers the people and their State actually agreed to ceded to the Federal government with the United States Constitution.
The rewriting and twisting of the same constitution by the power welders senses constitutes a breach or abuse of contract. This is not just any kind of contract this is a contract of employment, in which the employer reserves the implicit right to revoke, as both described and demonstrated in the Deceleration of independents 1776. So while I agree that Alexander Hamilton was a lier and a fraud for the most part, that is really not the point here. Reply February 25, 2010 at 1:04 am Gbrough the key to viewing the Federalist papers is that this was the way it was "sold" to the people, not really the authors personal views. So to understand the Constitution as the people who voted to ratify it viewed it, look at the Federalist papers. Hamilton was in favor of a monarchy, but he sold the constitution as a Federal Sysytem, that is what was ratified, and that is the lawful system. Reply February 26, 2010 at 6:28 am Roy Callahan This was an excellent article. Thank you for writing it. Reply February 26, 2010 at 2:28 pm John Jeff Matthews, as the attorney guest mentioned, it is the ideas that count; the tea party movements are proof that those ideas, written on that piece of paper, still have power. The problem is, though, those ideas are like a sword – they can't do anything by themselves, someone has to use them. As you and others have mentioned, we have the modern version of bread and circuses in the form of beer (and pizza) and television that keeps people delightfully ignorant of what's going on around them. Talk to 20 people, and see how many either refuse to talk about politics ("friends don't talk about politics and religion" is one I've heard several times) or claim that it's too difficult for them to understand and get involved in. It no, sadly, no longer surprises me to hear people on the news or when I'm out and about, that have little or no understanding of the Constitution, and actually believe that federal government is empowered by the Constitution to do whatever it deems necessary. What's truly disturbing is hearing the subject of Constitutionality, in the few times that it is brought up, being referred to derisively in the media, and many people seem to hold the same attitude about it. Despite things like Tom Brokaw's little stunt with George Bush's military history, or John Gibson claiming that Ron Paul said that the 9/11 attacks were our fault and that he's a "truther", then playing clips of what Ron Paul actually said, where he never once blames us for it and plainly says that he does not espouse "truther" theories, people don't seem to have gotten the point that the raw output from the media can't be trusted. Likewise, people claim that they can't stand name calling and personal attacks in and by the media, yet, when tea party activists are labeled as screw-balls and racists and called "tea baggers", people seem to really believe that anybody associated with the movement are a bunch of screw-balls and racists. That needs to be changed, or worked around, to start changing public opinion. Monoprise – When the selection of senators was taken from the state legislators and put up to popular vote in the name of "democracy", that removed the states' ability to defend themselves and their rights at the federal level.

LOOK into the state bank on North Dakota, Ellen Brown's work for Restoration of Money Power Rights to PEOPLE. Though she stops short of recognizing the illegitimacy of the current system. Pingback:

The Voices of A Million Angels…
In Blog Posts on 04/24/2011 at 5:15 am
I haven’t posted a blog for several days because I got a call on Tuesday to work production on an awesome event for Earth Day in Times Square on Good Friday.
Typically, I decide my post in the morning and as always, it’s something that’s been on my heart.
So, at 4:44 am, I sit here, unable to sleep – because I need to pour out my heart.
Please bear with me as I bare my soul…
“How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me?
Things so undeserved
Yet, you gave to prove your love for me
And the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to thee.
To God be the glory.”
Anyone who KNOWS me, or has had a conversation with me for longer than thirty minutes knows that I believe in the power of prayer.
As much as I love writing, prayer is the thing that sustains me. Prayer is the blood flowing through my veins, the pulsing of my heart, the sweetest thing I’ve ever known, the pouring out of every heartache, the mourning before the joy that comes in the morning – it is my LIFE. If I could not pray, I would cease to exist. Every breathe I take is a testimony to the power of prayer.
It’s not just that I believe in the power of prayer. I KNOW God hears my prayers and answers them. They are not mere empty words, they are me pouring out my heart to the ONE who loves me more than any words can express. Prayer is the key by which the doors of communication with my Heavenly Father are opened. Prayer is THE thing that solidifies and confirms my relationship with God.
It is because of prayer that I have survived every attack of the enemy on my life. It is because of prayer that my children are covered – even when they don’t realize it. It is because of prayer that I have a roof over my head, food to eat and most importantly, it is because of prayer that I have developed such an intimate relationship with God.
My daughter recently shared with me that she felt the need to pray safety for her and her family members. She FELT danger so strong that she prayed incessantly. Her neighbor’s home was broken into. The robbers went RIGHT PAST her house, which is visible from the street, to a seemingly INVISIBLE apartment near her.
It warms my heart more than she could ever know that she KNOWS the power of prayer and the importance it plays in our daily life and relationship with God.
And it is prayer that CONSTANTLY saves me, over and over again.
One of my daily prayers is that God protect me from dangers seen and unseen. He has continued to do that. More times than we know, we are in harm’s way and that was the case for me on Friday. Good Friday.
Good Friday is the day set aside to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Typically, I might attend a church service. In fact, a friend texted me to say she remembered when I spoke in church on a Good Friday a few years ago. This year, I was SO caught up in work, I confess, that I thought of the significance of the day only briefly.
After leaving Times Square on Friday, I had a few errands to run. Although I had planned on taking the 7:50 pm bus, I was running late and thought the next bus would arrive at 8:30 pm. Then I got a FEELING in my gut that I needed to check the bus schedule. I NEVER carry a bus schedule with me and only check it online when going TO New York. But, I had a FEELING…
To my delight and surprise there was an 8:10 pm bus. I called my son when I got off the bus and told him he should order dinner because I was too tired to cook. When I got to my house, I decided to go to the store to pick up a bottle of wine.
I stopped to give my son the money to pay for dinner and went to the store. There was no one in the store, other than myself and the clerk. We spoke briefly and as I exited the store, I felt DANGER. Although I was only 15 steps away from where I was headed, I felt DANGER so strong that I remember the words I prayed: “God, please let me make it home safely. Protect me from danger seen and unseen. I don’t know what it is, but, PLEASE spare my life.” I looked all around and the street was like a ghost town. I SAW NOTHING! And I felt safe.
I realized that the wine I had chosen needed a cork screw. I was about to go back to the store, but, I was just too tired and decided against it.
Then it happened. The sound that seemed so insignificant at the time.
I asked my son what did it sound like to him and he replied “Probably someone banging on something.”
He was wrong.
They were gunshots. Fired in the store that I had just left. In the same store that I almost decided to go back to.
On Good Friday, the day we commemorate the death of Christ, 28-year-old James Wilson died and THEN I remembered.
I remembered the FEELING I had. I remembered the prayer I prayed. And I KNEW that the same Christ who died at Calvary and rose on the third day spared my life.
“Dear God: Please protect me from dangers seen and unseen.”
I SAW NOTHING.
I don’t know what your religious affiliation is, I don’t know what your belief system is, but, I URGE you to seek God in prayer. Take some time today to think about ALL that he has done for you. You are not alive by accident, there is a reason you are alive at this very moment and an even STRONGER reason that you are reading this post right now.
It might not be for you. It might be for someone who you know. PLEASE, pray NOW. Pour out your heart to God. Even if you have NEVER done it before, just start with this:
And if you don’t know how to pray or want me to pray with you, send me an e-mail TODAY thatwritingchic@gmail.com. I WILL pray for you and WITH you. And PLEASE say a prayer for the family of James Wilson.
So, today is NOT just any other day. It is the day that I celebrate my God, who loves me so much that he hears and answers my prayers. It is the day that I will pray to a God who gave his son’s life for ours, on behalf of the family of James Wilson who lost his life on Good Friday.
My God who loves me so much, that he communicates with me and lets me know when I should stop, when I should go – even when I don’t know how or why.
It is the day that I will reflect on the life I am living, the legacy that I wish to leave, all the while seeking God’s forgiveness for anything in my life that does not reflect him, and most importantly, this is the day that I will continue to praise God, knowing that the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude.
“Just let me live my life, let it be pleasing Lord to thee
Should I gain any praise, let it go to Calvary.”
How Great is our GOD!”
HE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS!
BE~LOVED Suncera, I join you in prayer. I pray you forward in your ministry. You are continously and courageously a living testimony of a soul anointed and led by the Almighty Hand of God. May you continue to uplift and inspire many, this day and every day, in Jesus’ name Amen. With love always, Shawna

More Scans from HBP Calendars
More scans have surfaced tonight, these from the US 2009 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince wall calendar. Most we have seen in one form or another previously, but of note is a new photo montage of Ron as Gryffindor Keeper, with the words “You can Score, Gryffindor” and Cormac McLaggen and team standing in the background. Also of interest is this photo of Hermione holding a copy of the Daily Prophet newspaper. Update: Thanks to Yoda who pointed out that on the back of the Daily Prophet, you can see a photo of Madam Bones, and the story about her being murdered at home. There is also a slightly different photo of Luna sporting her Spectrespec glasses.
Thanks much to SnitchSeeker and Rose!

Are Eagles’ Offensive Woes More Troublesome Than Issues on Defense?
Leave a comment Everybody is quick to blame Juan Castillo and the defense for the Eagles' 1-4 start, but has the offense really been any better? In fact, have they been worse? Let’s make one thing perfectly clear right up front: the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense is not where it needs to be. They are a sieve against the run, allowing 140.2 yards per game on the ground, and Swiss cheese through the air, permitting opposing quarterbacks to post a passer efficiency rating of 104.3. Both are the third-highest totals in the NFL.
We could rail on and on about the dearth of linebackers, the state of the safeties, the unit’s collective inability to tackle or create turnovers, the absence of leadership, the failings of the wide nine technique, or the decision to promote Juan Castillo to defensive coordinator. Each would be a fair critique after five games.
Yet for all the well-documented inadequacies on defense, somehow the Eagles have had an opportunity to win every week this season. And while it’s true the defense has surrendered three fourth-quarter leads so far, it’s arguably been mistakes on offense that have proven to be the most debilitating aspect in all four of this team’s losses.
Isn’t it about time the guys on the other side of the ball are held up to the flame?
This might be a difficult concept to fathom initially, considering we are talking about statistically one of the best offenses in the league (third in yards with 445.6 per game) versus statistically one of the worst defenses. However, the simplest explanation is we can measure how ineffective the defense has been with some ease, while the offense continues to pile up big numbers that tend to hide some of their flaws.
And no, this isn’t merely aimed at the litany of dropped passes and turnovers that ended comeback bids in three of the last four contests. Jeremy Maclin’s drop in Week 2, his fumble in Week 4, and Jason Avant’s drople-ception on Sunday were backbreakers, but the team was already behind in each situation, with no guarantee they would successfully punch it in to the end zone.
Those all contributed to losing efforts, but in every instance, the offense long before had not executed up to their potential. We’ll delve into the reasons why, but first, believe it or not, there is evidence that suggests the defense isn’t quite as horrible as you probably think.
HOW BAD IS THE DEFENSE REALLY?The Eagles are conceding 26.4 points per game, tied for sixth-worst. Taken at face value, it’s just more ammunition against the defense.
Except that number doesn’t tell the complete story.
The league average is 24.8 points per game, which is a difference of just eight points total, or one possession. And although there are still some very good defenses in the NFL that are far superior, a whopping 16 teams — that’s half the league — are averaging between 24 and 28. It’s not entirely bad teams, either. Six are .500 or better, while Buffalo and New Orleans are in first place.
Even using an example that falls outside that range, 15 spots ahead of the Eagles are the defending champion 5-0 Green Bay Packers, ranked 11th and averaging 22.2. The real difference is only three touchdowns, or less than one per game. One of the touchdowns against the Birds was a pick-six, which isn’t on the defense at all, so in terms of points on the board, Philly’s defense is only two touchdowns worse over a full five games than the consensus best team in the NFL.
A difference that is supposed to be negligible with the high-powered Birds’ offense.
Again, by no means does this let the defense off the hook in any way. They still reside toward the bottom of the league, where most of the teams were destined to finish with losing records before the season even began. This only indicates they have not performed so poorly that the rest of the club’s efforts could not have been salvaged.
WHAT DO WE EXPECT OF THE OFFENSE?Look at the game-by-game point totals allowed in each loss: 35, 29, 24, 24 (minus the INT returned for TD).
Working our way backwards, if somebody told you coming into this season that the Eagles’ defense would hold their opponent to 24 points every week, how many games would you have anticipated them winning? Keeping in mind of course that they set a franchise record for scoring in 2010 with essentially this same cast, the third-most prolific offense in the league averaging 27.4 points per game.
Not only did the defense hold the 49ers and Bills to 24 points each, they did it while the offense committed eight turnovers between those two games. That’s three fumbles, and five interceptions. That’s eight times a drive ended without points, in many cases handing their opponent excellent field position, forcing a porous defense to defend a short field.
All things considered, 24 points doesn’t sound so terrible. These were winnable games.
29 points versus the Giants are a lot to spot one team, but again, struggles on the other side of the ball complicated matters. The Eagles only scored 16 themselves, after averaging 32.2 during their six game winning streak against New York — whose defense, by the way, has been decimated by injury. Philly also turned the ball over three times, two leading to touchdowns the other way.
The 35 points to the Falcons are much easier to pin on the defense, but again, Mike Vick turned the ball over three times here. That brings the offense up to 14 turnovers in four losses.
SO HOW MUCH OF THIS IS THE DEFENSE’S FAULT AGAIN?How many defenses can survive when their teammates are giving the ball away 3.5 times per game, altering the field position battle and momentum?
How many defenses can survive when the offense puts six on the board less than half the time they reach the red zone? Only four clubs have made more trips inside the 20-yard line than the Eagles, but only four clubs have come away with a lower percentage of touchdowns than 49.2%.
How many dropped passes can one team overcome? What is an acceptable amount of drive-killing penalties by the offensive line? Is the defense to blame when Mike Kafka has to replace an injured Vick? Or when the kicker misses chip-shot field goals?
Remember, this unit is supposed to be the cornerstone of this team.
Everybody knew the defense, with a first-year coordinator, and inexperienced linebackers and safeties, could struggle out of the gate. Everybody knew there were weaknesses, or at the very least serious question marks.
However, with the exception of an offensive line which certainly got no worse, the offense is constructed almost exactly the same as last season. There are a few new faces who have had their hands in devastating mistakes, like Steve Smith and Ronnie Brown, but most of the trouble spots have been their core players — Mike Vick, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant.
For all their Pro Bowl talent on that side of the ball, they have fallen miserably short of the standard they set over the previous few seasons. But Juan Castillo? Sure, blame the new guy, even though his defense has been forced to shoulder the burden of the offense’s plentiful miscues, and are still just a few stops away from being merely average rather than pathetic.

Aug 26, 5:35 pm Andrew Romanoff’s Birthday Wish List
By BERNIE BECKER Andrew Romanoff’s campaign to unseat Senator Michael Bennet in a Democratic primary in Colorado earlier this month not only fell short, it also seems to be carrying a fair amount of debt. Coincidentally, Mr. Romanoff also turned 44 on Tuesday. Guess what he wants for presents?
Mr. Romanoff is holding a birthday party at his Denver campaign headquarters on Thursday, with guests asked to make donations of $44, $144 or $1,044 to help the campaign out. (The Denver Post reported recently that the campaign is up to $350,000 in debt and was using Facebook, among other methods, to help retire it.)
Mr. Romanoff, the former speaker of the Colorado House, made a nod toward those financial straits while talking up Thursday’s event on his Twitter feed: “A friend said she hoped that someday I’d have a birthday party without a cover charge. This is not that day.”
Late in the primary campaign, Mr. Romanoff sold his house and poured in some personal savings to help his campaign try to combat Mr. Bennet’s significant financial advantage. (The incumbent, who will face Republican Ken Buck in the general election, was aggressively backed by President Obama during the primary.)
Representatives for Mr. Romanoff did not respond to an e-mail concerning the campaign’s debt and Thursday’s party.
Sep 28, 12:20 am Bill Clinton Echoes ‘Right-Wing Conspiracy’ Theme
By DERRICK HENRY When Hillary Clinton suggested in 1998 that there was a “vast right-wing conspiracy” out to get her husband, the remarks drew wide attention and scorn among conservatives. Now Bill Clinton himself is echoing that line, saying that such a conspiracy now targets President Obama. Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether a “vast right wing conspiracy” is involved in the attacks on Mr. Obama, Mr. Clinton said, “It’s not as strong as it was, because America’s changed demographically, but it’s as virulent as it was.”
Mr. Clinton suggested that the right wing is concocting stories about Mr. Obama in an effort to scuttle his efforts early in his term.
“Their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail, and that’s not a prescription for a good America,” Mr. Clinton said. “They can take his numbers down; they can run his opposition up. But fundamentally, he and his team have a positive agenda for America.”
The former president also said that a credible debate was needed on striking the proper balance between expanding the American economy through stimulus plans Read more…
Aug 17, 7:35 pm At the White House, Two Clintons Again
By JEFF ZELENY It’s a Clinton-filled day at the White House on Tuesday.
Former President Bill Clinton is set to arrive for an afternoon meeting with President Obama in the Situation Room. The agenda, aides said, is Mr. Clinton’s trip to North Korea, where he helped negotiate the release of two imprisoned journalists.
It is the first face-to-face meeting on the subject between Mr. Obama and Mr. Clinton.
The meeting, according to the White House daily schedule, is taking place at 4 p.m. In addition to the two American presidents, No. 42 and 44, at least some senior members of the national security team are expected to be present for an extended debriefing about what Mr. Clinton witnessed during a 20-hour visit to Pyongyang earlier this month, which included dinner with Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader.
But will Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton be on hand?
She has her own weekly meeting at the White House – in the Oval Office – at 1:30 p.m. It was unknown, aides said, whether she would stick around for the session with her husband and Mr. Obama or if she would return to Foggy Bottom to get back to other diplomatic work at the State Department. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5497 | {"url": "http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/barack-obama-bill-clinton/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:17:08Z", "digest": "sha1:66OUQRUACSK6G3LNAURWHR6D3OSDEJYQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3787, 3787.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3787, 5911.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3787, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3787, 65.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3787, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3787, 252.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3787, 0.37203496]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3787, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3787, 0.01643655]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3787, 0.01709402]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3787, 0.0147929]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3787, 0.01622971]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3787, 0.05263158]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3787, 0.19350811]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3787, 0.51638066]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3787, 4.74570983]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3787, 0.00124844]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3787, 5.32478166]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3787, 641.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 98, 0.0], [98, 393, 1.0], [393, 712, 0.0], [712, 976, 1.0], [976, 1290, 0.0], [1290, 1405, 1.0], [1405, 1472, 0.0], [1472, 2004, 1.0], [2004, 2139, 1.0], [2139, 2392, 1.0], [2392, 2561, 0.0], [2561, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 2688, 1.0], [2688, 2935, 1.0], [2935, 3022, 1.0], [3022, 3432, 1.0], [3432, 3495, 1.0], [3495, 3787, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 98, 0.0], [98, 393, 0.0], [393, 712, 0.0], [712, 976, 0.0], [976, 1290, 0.0], [1290, 1405, 0.0], [1405, 1472, 0.0], [1472, 2004, 0.0], [2004, 2139, 0.0], [2139, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2561, 0.0], [2561, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 2688, 0.0], [2688, 2935, 0.0], [2935, 3022, 0.0], [3022, 3432, 0.0], [3432, 3495, 0.0], [3495, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 7.0], [45, 98, 9.0], [98, 393, 49.0], [393, 712, 55.0], [712, 976, 46.0], [976, 1290, 49.0], [1290, 1405, 17.0], [1405, 1472, 10.0], [1472, 2004, 88.0], [2004, 2139, 24.0], [2139, 2392, 45.0], [2392, 2561, 26.0], [2561, 2616, 11.0], [2616, 2688, 13.0], [2688, 2935, 40.0], [2935, 3022, 15.0], [3022, 3432, 69.0], [3432, 3495, 11.0], [3495, 3787, 57.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 98, 0.1], [98, 393, 0.00694444], [393, 712, 0.04950495], [712, 976, 0.0], [976, 1290, 0.0], [1290, 1405, 0.0], [1405, 1472, 0.0952381], [1472, 2004, 0.00770713], [2004, 2139, 0.0], [2139, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2561, 0.0], [2561, 2616, 0.09803922], [2616, 2688, 0.0], [2688, 2935, 0.0], [2935, 3022, 0.0], [3022, 3432, 0.01767677], [3432, 3495, 0.0], [3495, 3787, 0.01052632]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 98, 0.0], [98, 393, 0.0], [393, 712, 0.0], [712, 976, 0.0], [976, 1290, 0.0], [1290, 1405, 0.0], [1405, 1472, 0.0], [1472, 2004, 0.0], [2004, 2139, 0.0], [2139, 2392, 0.0], [2392, 2561, 0.0], [2561, 2616, 0.0], [2616, 2688, 0.0], [2688, 2935, 0.0], [2935, 3022, 0.0], [3022, 3432, 0.0], [3432, 3495, 0.0], [3495, 3787, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.51111111], [45, 98, 0.11320755], [98, 393, 0.08474576], [393, 712, 0.02507837], [712, 976, 0.03409091], [976, 1290, 0.03503185], [1290, 1405, 0.03478261], [1405, 1472, 0.11940299], [1472, 2004, 0.06203008], [2004, 2139, 0.02962963], [2139, 2392, 0.02766798], [2392, 2561, 0.01775148], [2561, 2616, 0.12727273], [2616, 2688, 0.22222222], [2688, 2935, 0.05263158], [2935, 3022, 0.05747126], [3022, 3432, 0.03170732], [3432, 3495, 0.0952381], [3495, 3787, 0.04109589]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3787, 0.90471494]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3787, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3787, 0.90187353]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3787, -169.07437542]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3787, 138.86761447]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3787, -135.35224163]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3787, 46.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Friday, November 12, 2010. Chaos and violence continue, the political stalemate continues until Nouri names a cabinet (and Parliament votes it stamp of approval), criticism of Nouri comes from all over, Iraqi Christians continue to be targeted, Julie Sullivan reports explosive news on the burn pits, the US military states they killed a politician's brother because he was attempting to kill them (didn't Barack say combat was over in Iraq?) and more. Yesterday, horse trading allowed Iraq's Parliament to elect a Speaker, , and to elect Jalal Talabani (again) to the ceremonial post of president. Despite assurances and claims to US officials that Nouri would be named prime minister-delegate November 20th, Talabani immediately named him and the US government is currently attempting to figure out whether this was due to concern over the Iraqiya walkout or was part of a deliberate effort on the part of Nouri's bloc and the Kurds to deceive their US benefactors. On the horse trading, Nussaibah Younis (Guardian) weighs in: If Iraqi politics is to continue in this way, we can all sit back and relax -- waiting every five years for the elections that mean nothing, the backstage horse trading in which politicians nakedly vie for personal advantage, and finally the divvying up of power between groups in a way that promises to hamstring the new government before it has even begun. The 2010 elections gave Iraq's politicians a rare opportunity to take politics in another direction. Together, Allawi and Maliki gained overwhelming support because they spoke of Iraqi unity, reconciliation, and reconstruction. But when it came to forming a government, self-interest won. Neither could bear the thought of not being prime minister, and both were content to drag the process on and on -- waiting to clinch a political advantage while ordinary Iraqis paid with their lives in the escalating violence. Jalal Talabani named Nouri prime minister-designate. That is not prime minister. Good for Steven Lee Myers (New York Times) who captures this: "Mr. Talabani then formally nominated Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki for a second term in office, giving him 30 days to form a cabinet of ministers." This is explained in Article 76 of [PDF format warning] the Iraqi Constitution: First: The President of the Republic shall charge the nominee of the largestCouncil of Representatives bloc with the formation of the Council of Ministerswithin fifteen days from the date of the election of the President of the Republic. Second: The Prime Minister-designate shall undertake the naming of the members of his Council of Ministers within a period not to exceed thirty days from the date of his designation. Third: If the Prime Minister-designate fails to form the Council of Ministersduring the period specified in clause "Second," the President of the Republic shall charge a new nominee for the post of Prime Minister within fifteen days. Fourth: The Prime Minister-designate shall present the names of his members of the Council of Ministers and the ministerial program to the Council ofRepresentatives. He is deemed to have gained its confidence upon the approval,by an absolute majority of the Council of Representatives, of the individualMinisters and the ministerial program. Fifth: The President of the Republic shall charge another nominee to form the Council of Ministers within fifteen days in case the Council of Ministers did not win the vote of confidence. Steven Lee Myers explains, "The long delay in forming a government -- still at least a month away -- frustrated the administration throughout the summer". And he documents some of the efforts by US President Barack Obama himself including phone calls. We've already noted that the US government thought they had a promise regarding the nomination of prime minister-designate coming in on November 20th -- they were either lied to or the walkout changed the dynamics. Eli Lake (Washington Times) emphasizes failed efforts on the part of both Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to get Jalal Talabani to step aside and to do so in order that the (ceremonial) post could be filled by non-Kurd Ayad Allawi. The president's son, Qubad Talabani, confirms to Lake that Barack pressured his father to step aside and states that "the Kurds were disappointed with the United States" over this.Qubad Talabani states, "The Kurds have been the strongest ally and partner of the United States since before the liberation and certainly during it. And for the United States to be leaning on us, as they are now, in effect handpicking the new leaders of Iraq, is not respectful of Iraq's parliamentary system and touches on all of the insecurities of the Kurds, that the United States will once again betray us." What would the Kurds have received if Talabani had stepped aside? Lake reports that Joe Biden promised them both the post of Speaker of the Parliament and the Minister of Oil. While it's long been known that the US government supported Nouri for them to offer the Minister of Oil -- a position Nouri's reportedly promised to three different people -- they must have had some indication from Nouri that he would go along with that. Did they misread Nouri's signals? Regardless, Kurds may not be happy their representatives shot that offer down. Considering the repeated and ongoing disputes over service contracts for oil fields -- conflicts between the Kurds and the central government in Baghdad -- holding the post of Minister of Oil could have given the Kurds tremendous power. Barack made a statement on Iraq earlier today in Seoul, Korea: Before I discuss the G20, I want to briefly comment on the agreement in Iraq that's taken place on the framework for a new government. There's still challenges to overcome, but all indications are that the government will be representative, inclusive, and reflect the will of the Iraqi people who cast their ballots in the last election. This agreement marks another milestone in the history of modern Iraq. Once again, Iraqis are showing their determination to unify Iraq and build its future and that those impulses are far stronger than those who want Iraq to descend into sectarian war and terror. For the last several months, the United States has worked closely with our Iraqi partners to promote a broad-based government -- one whose leaders share a commitment to serving all Iraqis as equal citizens. Now, Iraq's leaders must finish the job of forming their government so that they can meet the challenges that a diverse coalition will inevitably face. And going forward, we will support the Iraqi people as they strengthen their democracy, resolve political disputes, resettle those displaced by war, and build ties of commerce and cooperation with the United States, the region and the world. "Another milestone." Barack's waves of Operation Happy Talk repeatedly include "milestones." While I am aware his vocabularly is highly limited and even more repetitive ("Let me be clear" and "make no mistake" for example), he cries "milestone!" the way Bruce Willis' character constantly cries "miracle!" in Death Becomes Her (one minute and three seconds in on the linked clip). Today on the second hour of The Diane Rehm Show (NPR), USA Today's Susan Page, filling in for Diane, spoke with Rajiv Chandrasekaran (Washington Post), David E. Sanger (New York Times) and Nancy A. Youssef (McClatchy Newspapers) about Iraq. Excerpt:. Susan Page: Eight months after their parliamentary elections, there's finally an agreement in Iraq for a power-sharing arrangement but it fell apart almost immediately, Nancy. Tell us what happened. Nancy A. Youssef: That's right. The Parliament went to meet to start putting together this government that, so far, has Maliki still as prime minister, Jalal Talabani still as president, the Sunni still as Parliament Speaker and within hours the Sunnis walked out. And it really exposed not only how fragile this agreement was but how much sectarianism still dominates Iraqi politics. One of the reasons the Sunnis walked out is that they felt the Shia partners were holding them liable or punshing them for maybe being Ba'ath Party members of some level during Saddam Hussein's regime. That they were still being ostracized if you will. So it now remains precarious once again. It's hard to celebrate this right now because sectarian based politics appear to still dominate Iraq and that's dangerous at a time when we're starting to see rising levels of violence, most notabley a hundred and fifty people killed in the last week. Susan Page: Rajiv, was this a surprise to US officials? Rajiv Chandrasekaran: No. You know, this was sort of the deal that the Obama administration had been pushing for. They did want Ayad Allawi, who is a secular Shi'ite but who commanded large numbers of Sunni followers, in a more secular, nationalistic slate and who actually won a narrow majority of seats in parliamentary elections lo these many months ago there was a desire to have him assume the presidency -- a largely symbolic role, but it would have shown that a Sunni Arab could be president while Maliki, the Shi'ite incumbent prime minister, would have kept that job The minority Kurdish population, largely in the northern part of the country, did not want to sede that post and this was one of the principle reasons for these months of gridlock. So then the compromise position out of the administration was: 'Alright, let's try to get Allawi to chair a new kind of committee on national security and economic policy' -- a very undefined, vague type role and the powers of which has still not been clearly spelled out and this is partly at the root of a lot of the angst on the part of the members of his coalition. And so what had happened here is that the Obama administration was sort of unable to force that change. Maliki, of course, has a great deal of support from Iran and it was essentially a kind of continuation of the status quo showing yet again how American leverage is diminished over there, how Iranian influence is ascendent and that even though you had a party -- a largely secular party that commanded a slim majority in the elections they were unable to-to bring together enough support to form a government and that the hope that everybody had months ago, that maybe we were seeing the first sort of indications of a more unified, nationalist, secular government starting to take shape has been completely shattered and what we see is the continuation --if not rise -- of more sectarian, divisive politics that will play out perhaps for the next several years. Nancy A. Youssef: You know, Rajiv mentioned the diminished US influence in the country and that's right but this I call it sort of census-based politics because it breaks down to the proportions of the populations, is something that the United States introduced in 2003 in Iraq still has not been able to let go of. I couldn't help watching the results come out. At what point does Maliki relinquish control of the [prime minister post] and is there some concern about a new kind of strong man setup that's emerging in Iraq? Susan Page: David? David E. Sanger: You know Susan in the first hour you were talking about [C.I. note: We are not plugging that book so this section is deleted] . . . what you hear is "You just destroyed Iran's greatest enemy and now you're leaving and you're allowing Iran to spread its influence throughout the region. What's your plan for this?" And I think what we're hearing in this process is that we didn't have a plan for this. Susan Page: Well we don't have a plan and what is happening is, eight months after the elections, we still don't have a real, functioning government. Does that have the possibility of effecting US committment to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by the end of next year, Rajiv? Rajiv Chandrasekaran: Well certainly if violence continues ticking up and the last few weeks have been particularly ugly in Baghdad -- the siege of the church in which more than fifty people were killed, another string of bombings, further attacks on Iraq's minority Christian community. If that violence continues to rise, it's certainly going to put the Obama administration in a much more difficult spot in terms of trying to fulfill that commitment to get all the troops out by the end of 2011 and that is, I think, directly tied to what sort of government they have, If there is a perception and an actual reality in part as seen by the Sunni population that the government doesn't represent them and this government continues to further marginalize the Sunni population -- which you've already seen over the last couple of years with Prime Minister Maliki's efforts to disband the Sons Of Iraq type programs which were seen as instrumental in bringing down the violence a few years ago, you could see, potentially, some of those rejoining some sort of insurgency against the government so there's a very real path that could occur between the political tension that exists in Baghdad and a resumption of violence. Susan Page: Nancy? Nancy A. Youssef: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates this week for the first time introduced this idea of troops potentially staying. It was a very tepid introduction. Somebody asked him and he said if the Iraqis asked us we would consider it but there are two things that are in the way of it. Nancy A. Youssef went on to discuss the cost and to note that "even if those troops stayed what effect could they have?" We'll pick up with Nancy next week, hopefully on Monday. My apologies to David E. Sanger who had good points, solid points to make. But we don't promote that book he mentioned (not his own book). That's our stated policy and I ignored Cindy Sheehan's wonderful column because it dealt with that. We are not helping to advance a War Hawk's book, we are not the street team to get the word out and move books for him. With Sewell Chan and Sheryl Gay Stolberg, David E. Sanger has "Obama's Trade Strategy Runs Into Stiff Resistance" in this morning's New York Times and we'll gladly link to that. The issue wasn't Sanger, it was that book and we're not noting it here, we're not going to help create a 'buzz' on it or make it 'controversial.' Our job is not to promote that book. March 7th, Iraq concluded Parliamentary elections. The Guardian's editorial board noted in August, "These elections were hailed prematurely by Mr Obama as a success, but everything that has happened since has surely doused that optimism in a cold shower of reality." 163 seats are needed to form the executive government (prime minister and council of ministers). When no single slate wins 163 seats (or possibly higher -- 163 is the number today but the Parliament added seats this election and, in four more years, they may add more which could increase the number of seats needed to form the executive government), power-sharing coalitions must be formed with other slates, parties and/or individual candidates. (Eight Parliament seats were awarded, for example, to minority candidates who represent various religious minorities in Iraq.) Ayad Allawi is the head of Iraqiya which won 91 seats in the Parliament making it the biggest seat holder. Second place went to State Of Law which Nouri al-Maliki, the current prime minister, heads. They won 89 seats. Nouri made a big show of lodging complaints and issuing allegations to distract and delay the certification of the initial results while he formed a power-sharing coalition with third place winner Iraqi National Alliance -- this coalition still does not give them 163 seats. November 10th a power sharing deal resulted in the Parliament meeting for the second time and voting in a Speaker. And then Iraqiya felt double crossed on the deal and the bulk of their members stormed out of the Parliament. David Ignatius (Washington Post) explains, "The fragility of the coalition was dramatically obvious Thursday as members of the Iraqiya party, which represents Sunnis, walked out of Parliament, claiming that they were already being double-crossed by Maliki. Iraqi politics is always an exercise in brinkmanship, and the compromises unfortunately remain of the save-your-neck variety, rather than reflecting a deeper accord. " After that, Jalal Talabani was voted President of Iraq. Talabani then named Nouri as the prime minister-delegate. If Nouri can meet the conditions outlined in Article 76 of the Constitution (basically nominate ministers for each council and have Parliament vote to approve each one with a minimum of 163 votes each time and to vote for his council program) within thirty days, he becomes the prime minister. If not, Talabani must name another prime minister-delegate. . In 2005, Iraq took four months and seven days to pick a prime minister-delegate. It took eight months and two days to name Nouri as prime minister-delegate. His first go-round, on April 22, 2006, his thirty day limit kicked in. May 20, 2006, he announced his cabinet -- sort of. Sort of because he didn't nominate a Minister of Defense, a Minister of Interior and a Minister of a Natioanl Security. This was accomplished, John F. Burns wrote in "For Some, a Last, Best Hope for U.S. Efforts in Iraq" (New York Times), only with via "muscular" assistance from the Bush White House. Nouri declared he would be the Interior Ministry temporarily. Temporarily lasted until June 8, 2006. This was when the US was able to strong-arm, when they'd knocked out the other choice for prime minister (Ibrahim al-Jaafari) to install puppet Nouri and when they had over 100,000 troops on the ground in Iraq. Nouri had no competition. That's very different from today. The Constitution is very clear and it is doubtful his opponents -- including within his own alliance -- will look the other way if he can't fill all the posts in 30 days. As Leila Fadel (Washington Post) observes, "With the three top slots resolved, Maliki will now begin to distribute ministries and other top jobs, a process that has the potential to be as divisive as the initial phase of government formation." Jane Arraf (Christian Science Monitor) points out, "Maliki now has 30 days to decide on cabinet posts - some of which will likely go to Iraqiya - and put together a full government. His governing coalition owes part of its existence to followers of hard-line cleric Muqtada al Sadr, leading Sunnis and others to believe that his government will be indebted to Iran." The stalemate ends when the country has a prime minister. It is now eight months, four days and counting. With the US shouldering everyone out of the way so that he had no competition and with them able to strong arm Parliament, he still couldn't put a cabinet together and present it to Parliament on time for them to vote on. The odds aren't breaking for him these days. If the rules had been followed, he wouldn't be prime minister-delegate currently. What took place was Nouri refused to compromise or budge -- while the US government insisted the Kurds and Iraqiya compromise non-stop -- and he did so from the illegal position of prime minister. His term expired. The Constitution is clear on that. Allawi rightly asked for the UN to create a caretaker government to be put in place. The US shot down that idea. Refused it. (In part because Nouri's promised Joe Biden that, if he remains prime minister, he'll allow US troops to remain on Iraqi soil after 2011.) Had Nouri been kicked out of the post -- his term had expired -- and a caretaker government set up, he couldn't have dug in his heels. The rest of the Shi'ites didn't want him -- and that includes Moqtada al-Sadr who was doing his usual embarrassing act -- 'We will never support Nouri!' Remember that? Maybe you remember that Moqtada wanted to paint himself as the picture of democracy? How was his bloc going to determine whom to support? They would hold an election (they did starting April 2nd) and they would go with those results (they didn't, the choice from al-Sadr's election was Ibrahim al-Jaafari). Moqtada broke his word and did so because the Iranian government strong-armed him. None of this goes to a democratic process. Nouri should have been kicked out the second his term was up and the UN should have appointed a caretaker government. Realizing how badly a caretaker government was needed -- even after they shot it down -- the White House began pressing key reporters to start referring to what Nouri was doing -- illegally doing -- as "a caretaker government." They knew if they could get just a few to start doing that, others would follow. And sure enough they did. Nouri could not be part of a caretaker government. Not only because his term as prime minister had expired but also because he wanted to continue in that post.By allowing him to stay in it during all of this, the US government gave him the power to say -- and he did -- that he would just continue on for months like he was doing. It wouldn't matter -- and didn't to him -- because he was getting to remain prime minister. In fact, he enjoyed even more because he (illegally) bypassed the Parliament repeatedly during his 'caretaking' role.Mowaffak Rubaie used to be in Nouri's Dawa Party. He also used to be Nouri's National Security Advisor. Now he tells Ned Parker (Los Angeles Times), "I personally am owrried that our whole political program is going down the drain. What did we come for? I campaigned for three things throughout my life: democracy, federalism-community rights and human rights. The Shia are enjoying our community rights but we are persecuting the other community. We are getting closer and closer to a one-party state." Arwa Damon (CNN) reports Allawi is making similar observations, quoting him stating, "This is a new dictatorship that is happening in Iraq. It's becoming humiliating, it's becoming very dictatorial, and they don't want to respect those people who have other views than them." Last night on The NewsHour (PBS -- link has text, video and audio options), Margaret Warner moderated a discussion on the latest trades and deals between Meghan O'Sullivan who served in the Bully Boy Bush administration and Feisal Istrabadi who was Iraq's Deputy Ambassador to the UN (2004 - 2007). Excerpt: MARGARET WARNER: Let me just interrupt, and quickly, because I -- before we run out of time, what is this going to mean for the violence we have been seeing on the rise in Iraq, Mr. Istrabadi? FEISAL ISTRABADI: I don't see any indications that Nouri al-Maliki has the first idea of what to do about the rising violence. The violence cannot be dealt with -- and we have been saying this for five years -- the violence cannot be dealt with merely militarily. There has to be reconciliation amongst the various factions. Nothing in Nouri al-Maliki's history indicates that he is prepared to undertake such reconciliation. In today's violence, Reuters notes a Garma roadside bombing wounded three people and the US military is asserting they were almost attacked by Anbar Provincial Council Member Mahmoud Rasheed Mudin's brother so they had to shoot him (Hamad Rasheed Mudin) dead and another broather was arrested. Turning to the topic of Iraqi Christians, a fresh waves of attacks on them are ongoing and the most violent example would be the October 31st siege of Our Lady of Salvation Church in Baghdad. William Dalrymple (Guardian) recaps, "This week saw new levels of violence directed at Iraq's Christians. Eight days after the attack on Baghdad's main Catholic church that left more than 50 worshippers dead, militants detonated more than 14 bombs in Christian suburbs, killing at least four and wounding about 30. Since then the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), an al-Qaida front, has warned of a new wave of attacks on Christians "wherever they can be reached … We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood."" Of that assault, Melik Kaylan (Forbes) writes: One of the killers shot a pregnant woman to death as she pleaded for mercy. Another, killed a bishop then killed another prelate saying, in response to his pleas, "what did you expect?". Members of the congregation noted that the attackers spoke 'classical Arabic' not demotic Iraqi – a strong indication that they were foreigners possibly even non-Arabs who had been taught Arabic by Islamic purists and trained with prepared responses to any emotional appeals by victims. Since 2003, Iraq has become a dar-el-harb zone where global jihadis go to prosecute their fantasies of martyrdom as the sword arm reincarnate of Islam's early warrior days. Sunni Iraqis who joined the 'Sons of Iraq' movement to resist them did so because they saw that these necrolators cared not a whit for the survival of locals. Mesopotamian Syriac Christians are emphatically locals: they descend directly from the earliest of churches founded by Jesus's apostles. They speak a variant of the Aramaic that Jesus spoke. In fact, they are the ethnic descendants of the ancient Assyrians from 2000 B.C.. This much is not open to argument: under Saddam they were better off. Under Mr. Bush's liberated Iraq they may cease to exist after thousands of years. That is saying something, one measure of the enormity his incompetence let loose. Jim Muir (BBC News) reports on the aftermath of the seige: On her knees, slumped over the end of the coffin laid out closest to me, was a young mother who had obviously just lost her husband. Their bright little daughter, less than two-years-old, was playing on the coffin, and running back and forth - obviously just too young to understand. Every so often she would ask her mother, "Where's papa?" And the reply would come, "Papa's with Jesus." You could tell from the dull, faraway look in the mother's eyes, that she was looking back on the life she had been living, that had just been abruptly ended, and ahead to a new, harder life, as a widow with young children to bring up, in a place where life and loved ones could be taken away at any moment without warning. Ramzy Baroud (Arab News) recalls a time before the start of the Iraq War (and, I'm adding, before the US installed thugs to terrorize the Iraqi people into submission): Iraqi Christian communities had coexisted alongside their Muslim neighbors for hundreds of years. The churches of the two main Christian groups, the Assyrians and Chaldeans are dated back to the years A.D. 33 and 34 respectively. A recent editorial in an Arab newspaper was entitled "Arab Christians should feel at home." As moving as the article was, the fact is and it remains that Arab Christians should not have to feel at home -- they already are at home. Their roots date back to the days of Jesus Christ, and since then they have maintained a unique identity and proud history under the most difficult of circumstances. I recall a group of Iraqi children from a Chaldeans school dressed up in beautiful dark blue uniforms performing the morning nashids (songs) before going to class. They were so innocent and full of life. Their eyes spoke of promise and excitement about the future. I dread to imagine how many of these children were killed, wounded or forcefully displaced with their families, like millions of other Iraqis from all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Chicago's Cardinal Francis George is the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Catholic Culture reports he has written Barack stating that it is "the moreal responsibility that the United States bears for working effectively with the Iraqi government to stem the violence. Prior to the war, our Conference of Bishops raised grave moral questions regarding the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Iraq and warned of 'unpredicatable consequences.' The decimation of the Christian community in Iraq and the continuing violence that threatens all Iraqis are among those tragic consequences." Shaikh Shuja, Chair of the British Muslim Council, writes to the Guardian, "The Muslims of Britain condemn the atrocious crimes of murder of Christians in Iraq (Report, 11 November) and they express their deep sorrow and sympathy for the families of the victims of the heinous crimes committed by people who in reality have nothing to do with any religion. It is a great tragedy that even seven years after the overthrow of the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussain, and in spite of enormous financial and other resources thrown into Iraq, the country has yet not seen a strong and viable government which could maintain law and order. This a tragedy not only for the Christians, but all the people of Iraq. One fails to understand what role the US army is playing. If the object of the US army is to provide a viable government in Iraq, then it has certainly failed to do so." The statement continues, we're not interested. Our position is perfectly clear and already established: Iraqi Christians will decide for themselves what they will do -- stay in Iraq or leave. It is their lives, it is their choice. We support all countries opening their arms to welcome this targeted population -- as well as other of Iraq's targeted populations -- and providing asylum. But that's to Iraqis that want it. Those who don't have the right to stay in Iraq. Anyone who is outside of Iraq has no say in the issue. (That includes me.) It is not our decision because it is not our lives. When a statement condemns the attacks, that's good. But when a statement goes on to tell Iraqi Christians they should do, that's wrong. Especially if it's telling them to have to stay in a dangerous place. AFP reports that, following Nouri's whines and attacks, Eric Besson, Minister of Immigration in France, has responded to complaints that France is offering treatment to some of the wounded in the Church siege and offering asylum to some of them and their families, "The French government's concern is not to make all the Christians of the Middle East and of Iraq come here. France's aim is to strengthen the protection of Christians in the Middle East and in Iraq to preserve communities which have been home to multiple faiths for centuries." It's sad that when French immigration officials finally have something to brag about (the policies have not been 'helpful' in the last few years in France) and instead are forced to defend themselves. France didn't kidnap any Christian. They offered help -- needed medical help -- and they offered asylum and they did so at no cost to the Iraqi government. That was real aid and much more than the US government has done, so much more. France didn't create the problem but they did offer real assistance. Martin Chulov and Enas Ibrahim (Guardian) report on Marouky who wants to leave Iraq with her four daughters, "I cannot trust my neighbours. My only solution is to isolate myself and to hide from society. How is this life? I say again that if any country accepts me, I will leave right now." Charlie Butts (OneNewsNow) speaks with the Vice Chair of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Elizabeth Prodromou: "As for the reaction from Iraqi officials, Prodromou explains that it has 'at least rhetorically spoken about its concern for the plight of these minorities.' So her group has 'asked that they take immediate measures to step up security at these sights'." When noting those who spoke out against the attacks on the Iraqi Christians, I did not even think to check the USCIRF. They issued a statement November 3rd and you can read it here. My apologies for forgetting them. We usually only note them once a year when they issue their yearly report. It was my mistake and error not to check to see if they had issued a statement. We'll include it in full this weekend but we're editing the snapshot right now to get it down below 120 K and there's not room for the statement in it. The Mandaens are also struggling with persecution and asylum and we'll try to include them next week. The burn pits. "While I was stationed at Balad, I experienced the effects of the massive burn pit that burned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ten-acre pit was located in the northwest corner of the base. An acrid, dark black smoke from the pit would accumulate and hang low over the base for weeks at a time. Every spot on the base was touched by smoke from the pit; everyone who served at the base was exposed to the smoke. It was almost impossible to escape, even in our living units," L. Russell Keith explained to the Democratic Policy Committee November 6, 2009. Keith worked for KBR in Iraq at Joint Base Balad from March 2006 through July 2007. Like many service members and contractors, he was unnecessarily exposed to toxins which put his life at risk.The Chair of the DPC, Senator Byron Dorgan, noted at the start of that day's hearing, "Today we're going to have a discussion and have a hearing on how, as early as 2002, US military installations in Iraq and Afghanistan began relying on open-air burn pits -- disposing of waste materials in a very dangerous manner. And those burn pits included materials such as hazardous waste, medical waste, virtually all of the waste without segregation of the waste, put in burn pits. We'll hear how there were dire health warnings by Air Force officials about the dangers of burn pit smoke, the toxicity of that smoke, the danger for human health. We'll hear how the Department of Defense regulations in place said that burn pits should be used only in short-term emergency situations -- regulations that have now been codified. And we will hear how, despite all the warnings and all the regulations, the Army and the contractor in charge of this waste disposal, Kellogg Brown & Root, made frequent and unnecessary use of these burn pits and exposed thousands of US troops to toxic smoke."At that day's hearing, Lt Col Darrin Curtis was among the witnesses and we'll note this exchange he had with Senator Dorgan. Chair Byron Dorgan: Mr. Curtis, why did you decide to write the 2006 memorandum? And did anyone else at that point share your concerns about the health impact of burn pits? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: Yes, Senator, they did. The Chief of Air Space Medicine had the same concerns I did. The memo was initially written so that we could expedite the installation of the incinerators. From my understanding, there were spending limits of monies with health issues and not health issues so I wanted to write the report to show that there are health issues associated with burn pits so that we could hopefully accelerate the installation of the incinerators. Chair Byron Dorgan: Of the type of burn pit you saw in Iraq in 2006 -- that's some while after the war began and infrastructure had been created and so on except without incinerators -- if something of that nature were occurring in a neighborhood here in Washington DC or any American city, what are the consequences to them? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: At least fines and possibly jail. Chair Byron Dorgan: Because? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: Of the regulations that are out there today. Chair Byron Dorgan: Because it's a serious risk to human health? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: Yes, sir. Chair Byron Dorgan: You say that when you arrived in Iraq an inspector for the US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine -- which is CHPPM -- told you that the Balad burn pit was the worst environmental site that he has seen and that included the ten years he had performed environmental clean up for the Army and Defense's Logistic Agency. And yet in your testimony, you also say that CHPPM has done this study and says adverse health risks are unlikely. So you're talking about an inspector from CHPPM that says 'this is the worst I've seen' and then a report comes out later from CHPPM that says: "Adverse health risks are unlikely. Long-term health effects are not expected to occur from breathing the smoke." Contradiction there and why? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: I think any organization, you're going to have people with differences of opinion. But at CHPPM, I'm sure that was the same-same outcome there. Cause I don't know if that individual -- Chair Byron Dorgan: (Overlapping) Do you think that CHPPM -- do you think CHPPM assessment that's been relied on now is just wrong? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: (Overlapping) I think -- I think -- Senator, I think the hard line that there is no health effects is a -- is a very strong comment that we don't have the data to say. Do we have the data to say that it is a health risk? I don't think we have that either. But I do not think we have the data to say there is no health risk. Chair Byron Dorgan: You are a bio-environmental engineer what is -- what is your own opinion? Without testing or data, you saw the burn pits, you were there, you hear the testimony of what went in the burn pits, you hear Dr. Szema's assessment. What's your assessment? Lt Col Darrin Curtis: I think we're going to look at a lot of sick people later on. And a lot of people have gotten sick and a lot of people have died. Throughout, those responsible have denied responsibility. Julie Sullivan (Oregonian) has been covering the burn pits for years and last night she reported:Documents exchanged in an Oregon lawsuit suggest that Kellogg, Brown and Root managers had medical tests proving workers at an Iraqi water treatment plant had "significant exposure" to a cancer-causing chemical, and managers worried about KBR's liability as a result.The minutes of an Oct. 2, 2003 meeting about blood and urine tests from workers at the Qarmat Ali plant contradicts KBR's long-standing claims that there was no medical evidence of harm. The documents also indicate KBR's top health, safety and environmental manager knew plant workers continued to use the toxic chemical long after health alarms were raised. While piles of the corrosion fighter containing hexavalent chromium blew in the desert wind, the workers inside mixing the material wore gas masks."The ones responsible" is a category that includes far more than KBR. KBR couldn't have gotten away with what they did without being waived through repeatedly. Last month, Matthew D. LaPlante (Salt Lake Tribune) explained the results of a new GAO report:Although defense health experts have now conceded that many service members may have been made sick by the fumes, the military is continuing to break its own rules and is continuing to expose its members to potentially toxic emissions, according to a federal audit released Friday.The report, from the Government Accountability Office, also concluded U.S. military leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed to monitor burn pit emissions and have been slow to implement alternatives to open-air burning, such as filtered incinerators.Finally, the report describes operations at four large military bases in Iraq where, investigators say, none of the active burn pits were in compliance with current environmental regulations."I wish I could say, 'Oh my. You're kidding. They're breaking the rules again?' but I'm really just sitting here thinking that nothing has changed," said Jill Wilkins, whose husband died days after being diagnosed with a brain tumor she believes may have been caused by his exposure to burn pit emissions during two tours of duty in Iraq. TV notes. On PBS' Washington Week, Naftali Bendavid (Wall St. Journal), Jackie Calmes (NYT), Tom Gjelten (NPR) and Martha Raddatz (ABC) join Gwen around the table.

Turning to broadcast TV, Sunday CBS' 60 Minutes offers: ShaleionairesWhile some complain that extracting natural gas from shale rock formations is tainting their water supply, others who have allowed drilling on their property are getting wealthy and becoming "shaleionaires." Lesley Stahl reports. HaitiThe earthquake made things in already-poor Haiti bad enough, but now a cholera epidemic is threatening to kill more Haitians, whose living conditions after the quake help to spread the water-borne infection. Byron Pitts reports. Medal of HonorThe first living soldier to win the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War tells Lara Logan in an emotional interview just what he did to earn the nation's highest combat honor and how the recognition makes him uncomfortable. 60 Minutes, Sunday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. iraq nussaibah younis the washington timeseli lake npr the diane rehm show the washington postdavid ignatius leila fadelbbc newsjim muirthe new york timessteven lee myersthe oregonianjulie sullivanthe salt lake tribunematthew d. laplante pbsthe newshourmargaret warnerwashington weekneed to knowto the contrarybonnie erbecbs60 minutes Posted by

Friday, 06 December 2013 12:45 Reviews, plus Escape Plan, Shout!’s The Shadow, Disney’s Pirate Fairy & interesting VOD data I’m back after an unexpected day’s absence there. I’ve been fighting a flu for the last few days and you know how that goes. It just caught up with me yesterday. Luckily, a day’s worth of sleep worked wonders.
To start off today, we’ve got a couple new Blu-ray reviews from Tim Salmons: Criterion’s Eyes Without a Face and La Cage aux Folles. Methinks, somebody took advantage of Barnes & Noble’s 50% off sale. LOL!

Tim Curry Joins TCW Cast As PalpatinePosted By Eric on February 28, 2013
Bryan Young over at The Huffington Post has the exclusive reveal of the new voice actor playing Chancellor Palpatine on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tim Curry. Young attended a Lucasfilm screening for the season finale, in which Curry makes his debut appearance in the role of Palpatine/Sidious, and he got some comments from Dave Filoni about the pick. Here's part of what Filoni said:We had an extensive search to find a new voice for Palpatine. It wasn't just a matter of finding an actor who could to recreate lines from the films. We needed someone to deliver a performance that could stand alongside what Ian McDiarmid and Ian Abercrombie created as this legendary Star Wars character. At the end of the day, there is little question that bringing in an actor of Tim's caliber was perfect for Chancellor Palpatine.Curry, who has appeared in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue, takes over the role after the passing last January of Ian Abercrombie, who played the character since his first TCW appearance in the 2008 animated feature.Head over to HuffPo for the rest of Young's story.

Dish’s Charlie Ergen: Netflix Is Going To Change The Paradigm For How People Watch TV
Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen had a few kind words for Netflix at the D: Dive Into Media conference today, saying that the streaming video provider would most likely be successful. More than that, though, he said that the company was already changing the way people are watching TV. Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen had a few kind words for Netflix at the D: Dive Into Media conference today, saying that the streaming video provider would most likely be successful. More than that, though, he said that the company was already changing the way people are watching TV. When asked what happened with Dish’s purchase of Blockbuster and the company’s plans to roll out its own Netflix competitor, Ergen said, “We were too late for the Netflix side of the business.” Part of the reason for that is that Netflix already reached critical mass and can now afford to license whatever content they want. For that reason, Ergen said he thought Netflix would continue to be successful, despite rising costs of content licenses. “They got to 30, 35, 40 million subscribers, and people have to sell to them,” Ergen said. On the flip side, he said Dish “didn’t have the guts” to go after the content licenses it needed to launch a successful streaming service. But according to Ergen, Netflix’s impact is not just in providing a sustainable model for streaming TV. It’s also fundamentally changing user behavior. “I think they’re going to change the paradigm and change the way people watch TV,” Ergen said. For one thing, they show movies without commercials — and they’re not getting sued the way Dish is.Ergen called Netflix’s venture into original programming with House of Cards “brilliant” and said he wished he had thought of it.

WordPress.com The Trouble with Half a Moon by Danette Vigilante
Posted on January 15, 2011 by thereadingzone The Trouble with Half a Moon by Danette Vigilante is a great middle grade novel that is perfect for those tweens who want to read YA and but might not be ready for all that comes with a YA novel.
Thirteen-year old Dellie blames herself for her little brother’s death. Now, he mother cries all the time and her parents are in therapy. And because of what happened to her brother, Dellie is no longer allowed to play outside or do any of the things the rest of the kids in the building are allowed to do. Her mother needs to know she is safe and it doesn’t matter that Dellie’s friends are starting to leave her behind, or that there is a boy interested in her.
Dellie lives in a building that is slowly becoming more and more unsafe. The setting is almost like a character and Vigilante does a fantastic job of bringing it to life. When a new family moves into the housing project, Dellie befriends Corey, the five year old boy. He reminds Dellie of her brother and she starts sneaking him food and inviting him over when her parents are not around. But when Dellie discovers that Corey’s mother is abusing him, she isn’t sure what to do. Can she help him in a way she never could her own little brother? Can she save Corey? Or will helping him only put her in more danger?
This is an emotional story and you ride the roller coaster of emotions with Dellie. Her brother’s mysterious death is a cloud hanging over the whole family and Dellie struggles with her feelings. She feels awful about what happened but she also wants her life back. She wants to hang out with her friends, she wants to find out why her best friend is mad at her, and she wants to get to know the boy who likes her. Is it wrong for her to be angry at her mother for tethering her to their second-floor apartment? Can she spend the rest of her life watching the world from her window instead of participating in it? And more importantly- should she get involved in Corey’s life? He needs someone to help him, but should it be Dellie?
Dellie’s mother’s grief is heart-breaking. As an adult I can understand her grief and her desire to keep Dellie safe. But I also know that her grief is preventing Dellie from growing up. Tween readers will identify with Dellie’s desire for freedom and will love her for her selflessness.
Highly recommended for middle grade readers.

Clarence Darrow on the Situation of Crime and Criminals
“Crime and Criminals: Address to the Prisoners in the Chicago Jail” (1902)
This address is a stenographic report of a talk made to the prisoners in the Chicago jail. Some of my good friends have insisted that while my theories are true, I should not have given them to the inmates of a jail.
Realizing the force of the suggestion that the truth should not be spoken to all people, I have caused these remarks to be printed on rather good paper and in a somewhat expensive form. In this way the truth does not become cheap and vulgar, and is only placed before those whose intelligence and affluence will prevent their being influenced by it.
If I looked at jails and crimes and prisoners in the way the ordinary person does, I should not speak on this subject to you. The reason I talk to you on the question of crime, its cause and cure, is because I really do not in the least believe in crime. There is no such thing as a crime as the word is generally understood. I do not believe there is any sort of distinction between the real moral condition of the people in and out of jail. One is just as good as the other. The people here can no more help being here than the people outside can avoid being outside. I do not believe that people are in jail because they deserve to be. They are in jail simply because they cannot avoid it on account of circumstances which are entirely beyond their control and for which they are in no way responsible.
I suppose a great many people on the outside would say I was doing you harm if they should hear what I say to you this afternoon, but you cannot be hurt a great deal anyway, so it will not matter. Good people outside would say that I was really teaching you things that were calculated to injure society, but it’s worth while now and then to hear something different from what you ordinarily get from preachers and the like. These will tell you that you should be good and then you will get rich and be happy. Of course we know that people do not get rich by being good, and that is the reason why so many of you people try to get rich some other way, only you do not understand how to do it quite as well as the fellow outside.
There are people who think that everything in this world is an accident. But really there is no such thing as an accident. A great many folks admit that many of the people in jail ought not to be there, and many who are outside ought to be in. I think none of them ought to be here. There ought to be no jails, and if it were not for the fact that the people on the outside are so grasping and heartless in their dealings with the people on the inside, there would be no such institution as jails.
I do not want you to believe that I think all you people here are angels. I do not think that. You are people of all kinds, all of you doing the best you can, and that is evidently not very well — you are people of all kinds and conditions and under all circumstances. In one sense everybody is equally good and equally bad. We all do the best we can under the circumstances. But as to the exact things for which you are sent here, some of you are guilty and did the particular act because you needed the money. Some of you did it because you are in the habit of doing it, and some of you because you are born to it, and it comes to be as natural as it does, for instance, for me to be good.
Most of you probably have nothing against me, and most of you would treat me the same as any other person would; probably better than some of the people on the outside would treat me, because you think I believe in you and they know I do not believe in them. While you would not have the least thing against me in the world you might pick my pockets. I do not think all of you would, but I think some of you would. You would not have anything against me, but that’s your profession, a few of you. Some of the rest of you, if my doors were unlocked, might come in if you saw anything you wanted — not out of malice to me, but because that is your trade. There is no doubt there are quite a number of people in this jail who would pick my pockets. And still I know this, that when I get outside pretty nearly everybody picks my pocket. There may be some of you who would hold up a man on the street, if you did not happen to have something else to do, and needed the money; but when I want to light my house or my office the gas company holds me up. They charge me one dollar for something that is worth twenty-five cents, and still all these people are good people; they are pillars of society and support the churches, and they are respectable.
When I ride on the street cars, I am held up — I pay five cents for a ride that is worth two and a half cents, simply because a body of men have bribed the city council and the legislature, so that all the rest of us have to pay tribute to them. If I do not wish to fall into the clutches of the gas trust and choose to burn oil instead of gas, then good Mr. Rockefeller holds me up, and he uses a certain portion of his money to build universities and support churches which are engaged in telling us how to be good. Some of you are here for obtaining property under false pretenses — yet I pick up a great Sunday paper and read the advertisements of a merchant prince — “Shirt waists for 39 cents, marked down from $3.00.”
When I read the advertisements in the paper I see they are all lies. When I want to get out and find a place to stand anywhere on the face of the earth, I find that it has all been taken up long ago before I came here, and before you came here, and somebody says, “Get off, swim into the lake, fly into the air; go anywhere, but get off.” That is because these people have the police and they have the jails and judges and the lawyers and the soldiers and all the rest of them to take care of the earth and drive everybody off that comes in their way. A great many people will tell you that all this is true, but that it does not excuse you. These facts do not excuse some fellow who reaches into my pocket and takes out a five dollar bill; the fact that the gas company bribes the members of the legislature from year to year, and fixes the law, so that all you people are compelled to be “fleeced” whenever you deal with them; the fact that the street car companies and the gas companies have control of the streets and the fact that the landlords own all the earth, they say, has nothing to do with you.
Let us see whether there is any connection between the crimes of the respectable classes and your presence in the jail. Many of you people are in jail because you have really committed burglary. Many of you, because you have stolen something; in the meaning of the law, you have taken some other person’s property. Some of you have entered a store and carried off a pair of shoes because you did not have the price. Possibly some of you have committed murder. I cannot tell what all of you did. There are a great many people here who have done some of these things who really do not know themselves why they did them. I think I know why you did them — every one of you; you did these things because you were bound to do them. It looked to you at the time as if you had a chance to do them or not, as you saw fit, but still after all you had no choice. There may be people here who had some money in their pockets and who still went out and got some more money in a way society forbids. Now you may not yourselves see exactly why it was you did this thing, but if you look at the question deeply enough and carefully enough you would see that there were circumstances that drove you to do exactly the thing which you did. You could not help it any more than we outside can help taking the positions that we take. The reformers who tell you to be good and you will be happy, and the people on the outside who have property to protect — they think that the only way to do it is by building jails and locking you up in cells on week days and praying for you Sundays.
I think that all of this has nothing whatever to do with right conduct. I think it is very easily seen what has to do with right conduct. Some so-called criminals — and I will use this word because it is handy, it means nothing to me — I speak of the criminals who get caught as distinguished from the criminals who catch them — some of these so-called criminals are in jail for the first offenses, but nine-tenths of you are in jail because you did not have a good lawyer and of course you did not have a good lawyer because you did not have enough money to pay a good lawyer. There is no very great danger of a rich man going to jail. Some of you may be here for the first time. If we would open the doors and let you out, and leave the laws as they are today, some of you would be back tomorrow. This is about as good a place as you can get anyway. There are many people here who are so in the habit of coming that they would not know where else to go. There are people who are born with the tendency to break into jail every chance they get, and they cannot avoid it. You cannot figure out your life and see why it was, but still there is a reason for it, and if we were all wise and knew all the facts we could figure it out.
In the first place, there are a good many more people who go to jail in the winter time than in summer. Why is this? Is it because people are more wicked in winter? No, it is because the coal trust begins to get in its grip in the winter. A few gentlemen take possession of the coal, and unless the people will pay $7 or $8 a ton for something that is worth $3, they will have to freeze. Then there is nothing to do but break into jail, and so there are many more in jail in the winter than in summer. It costs more for gas in the winter because the nights are longer, and people go to jail to save gas bills. The jails are electric lighted. You may not know it, but these economic laws are working all the time, whether we know it or do not know it.
There are more people go to jail in hard times than in good times — few people comparatively go to jail except when they are hard up. They go to jail because they have no other place to go. They may not know why, but it is true all the same. People are not more wicked in hard times. That is not the reason. The fact is true all over the world that in hard times more people go to jail than in good times, and in winter more people go to jail than in summer. Of course it is pretty hard times for people who go to jail at any time. The people who go to jail are almost always poor people — people who have no other place to live first and last. When times are hard then you find large numbers of people who go to jail who would not otherwise be in jail.
Long ago Mr. Buckle, who was a great philosopher and historian, collected facts and he showed that the number of people who are arrested increased just as the price of food increased. When they put up the price of gas ten cents a thousand I do not know who will go to jail, but I do know that a certain number of people will go. When the meat combine raises the price of beef I do not know who is going to jail, but I know that a large number of people are bound to go. Whenever the Standard Oil Company raises the price of oil, I know that a certain number of girls who are seamstresses, and who work after night long hours for somebody else, will be compelled to go out on the streets and ply another trade, and I know that Mr. Rockefeller and his associates are responsible and not the poor girls in the jails.
First and last, people are sent to jail because they are poor. Sometimes, as I say, you may not need money at the particular time, but you wish to have thrifty forehanded habits, and do not always wait until you are in absolute want. Some of you people are perhaps plying the trade, the profession, which is called burglary. No man in his right senses will go into a strange house in the dead of night and prowl around with a dark lantern through unfamiliar rooms and take chances of his life if he has plenty of the good things of the world in his own home. You would not take any such chances as that. If a man had clothes in his clothes-press and beefsteak in his pantry, and money in the bank, he would not navigate around nights in houses where he knows nothing about the premises whatever. It always requires experience and education for this profession, and people who fit themselves for it are no more to blame than I am for being a lawyer. A man would not hold up another man on the street if he had plenty of money in his own pocket. He might do it if he had one dollar or two dollars, but he wouldn’t if he had as much money as Mr. Rockefeller has. Mr. Rockefeller has a great deal better hold-up game than that.
The more that is taken from the poor by the rich, who have the chance to take it, the more poor people there are who are compelled to resort to these means for a livelihood. They may not understand it, they may not think so at once, but after all they are driven into that line of employment. There is a bill before the legislature of this State to punish kidnapping of children with death. We have wise members of the legislature. They know the gas trust when they see it and they always see it — they can furnish light enough to be seen, and this legislature thinks it is going to stop kidnapping of children by making a law punishing kidnapers of children with death. I don’t believe in kidnapping children, but the legislature is all wrong. Kidnapping children is not a crime, it is a profession. It has been developed with the times. It has been developed with our modern industrial conditions. There are many ways of making money — many new ways that our ancestors knew nothing about. Our ancestors knew nothing about a billion dollar trust; and here comes some poor fellow who has no other trade and he discovers the profession of kidnapping children.
This crime is born, not because people are bad; people don’t kidnap other people’s children because they want the children or because they are devilish, but because they see a chance to get some money out of it. You cannot cure this crime by passing a law punishing by death kidnapers of children. There is one way to cure it. There is one way to cure all these offenses, and that is to give the people a chance to live. There is no other way, and there never was any other way since the world began, and the world is so blind and stupid that it will not see. If every man and woman and child in the world had a chance to make a decent, fair, honest living, there would be no jails, and no lawyers and no courts. There might be some persons here or there with some peculiar formation of their brain, like Rockefeller, who would do these things simply to be doing them; but they would be very, very few, and those should be sent to a hospital and treated, and not sent to jail, and they would entirely disappear in the second generation, or at least in the third generation.
I am not talking pure theory. I will just give you two or three illustrations. The English people once punished criminals by sending them away. They would load them on a ship and export them to Australia. England was owned by lords and nobles and rich people. They owned the whole earth over there, and the other people had to stay in the streets. They could not get a decent living. They used to take their criminals and send them to Australia — I mean the class of criminals who got caught. When these criminals got over there, and nobody else had come, they had the whole continent to run over, and so they could raise sheep and furnish their own meat, which is easier than stealing it; these criminals then became decent, respectable people because they had a chance to live. They did not commit any crimes. They were just like the English people who sent them there, only better. And in the second generation the descendants of those criminals were as good and respectable a class of people as there were on the face of the earth, and then they began building churches and jails themselves.
A portion of this country was settled in the same way, landing prisoners down on the southern coast; but when they got here and had a whole continent to run over and plenty of chances to make a living, they became respectable citizens, making their own living just like any other citizen in the world; but finally these descendants of the English aristocracy, who sent the people over to Australia, found out they were getting rich, and so they went over to get possession of the earth as they always do, and they organized land syndicates and got control of the land and ores, and then they had just as many criminals in Australia as they did in England. It was not because the world had grown bad; it was because the earth had been taken away from the people.
Some of you people have lived in the country. It’s prettier than it is here. And if you have ever lived on a farm you understand that if you put a lot of cattle in a field, when the pasture is short they will jump over the fence; but put them in a good field where there is plenty of pasture, and they will be law-abiding cattle to the end of time. The human animal is just like the rest of the animals, only a little more so. The same thing that governs in the one governs in the other.
Everybody makes his living along the lines of least resistance. A wise man who comes into a country early sees a great undeveloped land. For instance, our rich men twenty-five years ago saw that Chicago was small and knew a lot of people would come here and settle, and they readily saw that if they had all the land around here it would be worth a good deal, so they grabbed the land. You cannot be a landlord because somebody has got it all. You must find some other calling. In England and Ireland and Scotland less than five percent own all the land there is, and the people are bound to stay there on any kind of terms the landlords give. They must live the best they can, so they develop all these various professions — burglary, picking pockets and the like.
Again, people find all sorts of ways of getting rich. These are diseases like everything else. You look at people getting rich, organizing trusts, and making a million dollars, and somebody gets the disease and he starts out. He catches it just as a man catches the mumps or the measles; he is not to blame, it is in the air. You will find men speculating beyond their means, because the mania of money-getting is taking possession of them. It is simply a disease; nothing more, nothing less. You cannot avoid catching it; but the fellows who have control of the earth have the advantage of you. See what the law is; when these men get control of things, they make the laws. They do not make the laws to protect anybody; courts are not instruments of justice; when your case gets into court it will make little difference whether you are guilty or innocent; but it’s better if you have a smart lawyer. And you cannot have a smart lawyer unless you have money. First and last it’s a question of money. Those men who own the earth make the laws to protect what they have. They fix up a sort of fence or pen around what they have, and they fix the law so the fellow on the outside cannot get in. The laws are really organized for the protection of the men who rule the world. They were never organized or enforced to do justice. We have no system for doing justice, not the slightest in the world.
Let me illustrate: Take the poorest person in this room. If the community had provided a system of doing justice the poorest person in this room would have as good a lawyer as the richest, would he not? When you went into court you would have just as long a trial, and just as fair a trial as the richest person in Chicago. Your case would not be tried in fifteen or twenty minutes, whereas it would take fifteen days to get through with a rich man’s case.
Then if you were rich and were beaten your case would be taken to the Appellate Court. A poor man cannot take his case to the Appellate Court; he has not the price; and then to the Supreme Court, and if he were beaten there he might perhaps go to the United States Supreme Court. And he might die of old age before he got into jail. If you are poor, it’s a quick job. You are almost known to be guilty, else you would not be there. Why should anyone be in the criminal court if he were not guilty? He would not be there if he could be anywhere else. The officials have no time to look after these cases. The people who are on the outside, who are running banks and building churches and making jails, they have no time to examine 600 or 700 prisoners each year to see whether they are guilty or innocent. If the courts were organized to promote justice the people would elect somebody to defend all these criminals, somebody as smart as the prosecutor — and give him as many detectives and as many assistants to help, and pay as much money to defend you as to prosecute you. We have a very able man for State’s Attorney, and he has many assistants, detectives and policemen without end, and judges to hear the cases — everything handy.
Most of our criminal code consists in offenses against property. People are sent to jail because they have committed a crime against property. It is of very little consequence whether one hundred people more or less go to jail who ought not to go — you must protect property, because in this world property is of more importance than anything else. How is it done? These people who have property fix it so they can protect what they have. When somebody commits a crime it does not follow that he has done something that is morally wrong. The man on the outside who has committed no crime may have done something. For instance: to take all the coal in the United States and raise the price two dollars or three dollars when there is no need of it, and thus kills thousands of babies and send thousands of people to the poorhouse and tens of thousands to jail, as is done every year in the United States — this is a greater crime than all the people in our jails ever committed, but the law does not punish it. Why? Because the fellows who control the earth make the laws. If you and I had the making of the laws, the first thing we would do would be to punish the fellow who gets control of the earth. Nature put this coal in the ground for me as well as for them and nature made the prairies up here to raise wheat for me as well as for them, and then the great railroad companies came along and fenced it up.
Most all of the crimes for which we are punished are property crimes. There are a few personal crimes, like murder — but they are very few. The crimes committed are mostly against property. If this punishment is right the criminals must have a lot of property. How much money is there in this crowd? And yet you are all here for crimes against property. The people up and down the Lake Shore have not committed crime, still they have so much property they don’t know what to do with it. It is perfectly plain why these people have not committed crimes against property; they make the laws and therefore do not need to break them. And in order for you to get some property you are obliged to break the rules of the game. I don’t know but what some of you may have had a very nice chance to get rich by carrying the hod for one dollar a day, twelve hours. Instead of taking that nice, easy profession, you are a burglar. If you had been given a chance to be a banker you would rather follow that. Some of you may have had a chance to work as a switchman on a railroad where you know, according to statistics, that you cannot live and keep all your limbs more than seven years, and you get fifty dollars a month for taking your lives in your hands, and instead of taking that lucrative position you choose to be a sneak thief, or something like that. Some of you made that sort of chance. I don’t know which I would take if I was reduced to this choice. I have an easier choice.
I will guarantee to take from this jail, or any jail in the world, five hundred men who have been the worst criminals and law breakers who ever got into jail, and I will go down to our lowest streets and take five hundred of the most hardened prostitutes, and go out somewhere where there is plenty of land, and will give them a chance to make a living, and they will be as good people as the average in the community. There is a remedy for the sort of condition we see here. The world never finds it out, or when it does find it out it does not enforce it. You may pass a law punishing every person with death for burglary, and it will make no difference. Men will commit it just the same. In England there was a time when one hundred different offenses were punishable with death, and it made no difference. The English people strangely found out that so fast as they repealed the severe penalties and so fast as they did away with punishing men by death, crime decreased instead of increased; that the smaller the penalty the fewer the crimes.
Hanging men in our county jails does not prevent murder. It makes murderers. And this has been the history of the world. It’s easy to see how to do away with what we call crime. It is not so easy to do it. I will tell you how to do it. It can be done by giving the people a chance to live — by destroying special privileges. So long as big criminals can get the coal fields, so long as the big criminals have control of the city council and get the public streets for street cars and gas rights, this is bound to send thousands of poor people to jail. So long as men are allowed to monopolize all the earth, and compel others to live on such terms as these men see fit to make, then you are bound to get into jail.
The only way in the world to abolish crime and criminals is to abolish the big ones and the little ones together. Make fair conditions of life. Give men a chance to live. Abolish the right of private ownership of land, abolish monopoly, make the world partners in production, partners in the good things of life. Nobody would steal if he could get something of his own some easier way. Nobody will commit burglary when he has a house full. No girl will go out on the streets when she has a comfortable place at home. The man who owns a sweatshop or a department store may not be to blame himself for the condition of his girls, but when he pays them five dollars, three dollars, and two dollars a week, I wonder where he thinks they will get the rest of their money to live. The only way to cure these conditions is by equality. There should be no jails. They do not accomplish what they pretend to accomplish. If you would wipe them out, there would be no more criminals than now. They terrorize nobody. They are a blot upon civilization, and a jail is an evidence of the lack of charity of the people on the outside who make the jails and fill them with the victims of their greed.
Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) is most well known for his role in the Scopes and Leopold-Loeb trials, but he also defended Eugene Debs, Big Bill Haywood and many other labor, antiwar and civil rights cases. More extensive discussion of his views on crime and punishment can be found in his books Resist Not Evil (1903) and Crime: Its Cause and Treatment (1922).

February 10, 2011 at 11:16 pm The law was once a sort of morality guide. Over time, it’s become something hallowed, the violation of which must always be punished. And “criminals” commit crimes because they either lack the fundamental morals that guide most of us, or find that they are simply unable to conform their conduct to the law because of some underlying issue. Punishment rarely addresses the underlying issues or cannot correct them. In the end, we simply incarcerate people because we lack the willpower to do what is really needed. Incarceration is usually the easiest “solution” to the problem. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5511 | {"url":

Separation of powers battle continues over the Code of Conduct
by Michael ListnerMonday, January 7, 2013
On January 3, the President signed into law H.R. 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. H.R. 4310 authorizes support for service members and their families, and renews certain national security programs. The signed bill was followed by a signing statement, which further elaborated the President’s position on certain controversial provisions within the measure.1 The signing statement in this case mentioned several provisions within H.R. 4310 where the President disagreed with Congress, including Section 913, which deals with the potential future implementation of the International Code of Conduct. Overall, the effect of Section 913 is to keep Congress in the loop during negotiations of the International Code of Conduct or any similar transparency and confidence-building measure.
This isn’t the first time that the Code of Conduct has been an issue between the Executive Branch and Congress. Beginning as early as 2010, when the United States was discussing the now-defunct European Code of Conduct, Congress noted its concern that the Administration was not including Congress in the negotiations or otherwise keeping it in the loop. The administration, for its part, asserted that the European Code of Conduct was not intended to be a legally binding treaty, that it was not required to seek the advice or consent of Congress, and it did not require Congressional intervention while negotiating it. The administration continued to hold this stance even after the failure of the EU Code.
After the announcement that the United States would not sign on to the EU Code of Conduct as proposed, several members of Congress sent a letter to the President of the United States addressing the Administration’s plan. The letter extended support for the administration’s decision not to sign on to the EU Code and, at the same time, expressed concern about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s announcement that the United States intended to negotiate a similar measure, using the European Code as a starting point. While the letter did not directly challenge the administration’s position that it had exclusive jurisdiction to negotiate or enter into a measure such as the Code of Conduct, it postured that Congress could have say over the implementation via its exclusive jurisdiction under the Commerce Clause. (See “Congressional opposition to a code of conduct for space”, The Space Review, February 6, 2012.)
In May 2012, the separation of powers battle over the Code of Conduct entered a new chapter through a draft version of H.R. 4310. The House took a different approach to prevent implementation of the International Code of Conduct or the EU Code, through its power of the purse, specifically, by prohibiting federal agencies that may be pivotal in implementing a code of conduct from expending funds towards that end. The administration responded by objecting to the language and threatening to veto the bill. It reiterated that since the Code of Conduct is not legally binding, the Administration is not required to seek Congressional input or consent in negotiating it or signing it. The Administration also attempted to apply greater political pressure by stating that the H.R. 4310 encroaches on the President’s exclusive authority to conduct foreign relations and could impede the country’s ability to conduct bilateral outer space activities with important allies.2 (See “Separation of powers battle over a space code of conduct heats up”, The Space Review, May 21, 2012.)
The final version of H.R. 4310, which the President signed on January 3, notably lacks the provision concerning the prohibition against funding; however, Congress replaced it with a more substantial provision specifically addressing the International Code of Conduct. Section 913 covers two distinct scenarios. The first deals with the scenario where the United States becomes a signatory to the International Code of Conduct or a similar agreement. In that case, Section 913 requires that:
The President submit to the congressional defense committees, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives, and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate a certification that such agreement has no legally binding effect or basis for limiting the activities of the United States in outer space;
The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Director of National Intelligence jointly submit to the congressional defense committees a certification that such agreement will be equitable, enhance national security, and have no militarily significant impact on the ability of the United States to conduct military or intelligence activities in space.
No action is taken that would obligate the United States to reduce or limit the armed forces or armaments of the United States in outer space in a militarily significant manner, except pursuant to the treaty-making power of the President set forth in Article II, Section 2, Clause II of the Constitution or unless authorized by the enactment of further affirmative legislation by the Congress of the United States.
If the United States becomes a signatory to a non-legally binding international agreement concerning an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities or any similar agreement, not less than 60 days prior to any action that will obligate the United States to reduce or limit the armed forces or armaments or activities of the United States in outer space, the head of each Department or agency of the federal government that is affected by such action shall submit to Congress notice of such action and the effect of such action on such department or agency.
The second scenario deals with the negotiation of the International Code of Conduct or a similar agreement. In this case, Section 913 requires that the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Director of National Intelligence jointly provide to the covered congressional committees regular, detailed updates on the negotiation of a non-legally binding international agreement concerning an International Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities or any similar agreement. This requirement under Section 913 expires whenever the United States signs such an agreement or otherwise ceases negotiations towards that end.
Now that H.R. 4310 is now law, whether the administration will abide by the stipulations within the law or seek to avoid them, citing its own constitutional power over diplomatic matters, should soon become apparent.
Overall, the effect of Section 913 is to keep Congress in the loop during negotiations of the International Code of Conduct or any similar transparency and confidence-building measure (TCBM), and to ensure that the implementation of either the Code or Conduct or any future TCBM is done such that they are not legally-binding upon the United States.3 Section 913 appears to also take into consideration the potential arms control nature of TCBMs. TCBMs are traditionally used to pave the way towards legally binding arms control agreements, and Congress is apparently aware of this. It is this position on TCBMs for outer space security that both the Russian Federation and China have articulated as a prerequisite for entering into a TCBM such as the Code of Conduct.
Section 913 may also reinforce assertions by members of Congress in their January 18, 2012, letter to the President that a code of conduct could have a negative impact on commercial space activities, and that Congress could use its exclusive powers under the Commerce Clause to address them. Therefore, it appears that Congress intends to be involved with the Code of Conduct or any other similar transparency and confidence-building measure from negotiation to implementation. Obviously, the President’s mention of Section 913 in the signing statement accompanying H.R. 4310 is telling in that the President disagrees with the position Congress has taken to oversee both negotiation and implementation of the Code of Conduct and other subsequent TCBMs.
As noted earlier, there is nothing in Section 913 that indicates that Congress would attempt to use the power of the purse to prevent the implementation a code of conduct or similar measure. It is unclear whether the exclusion of the provision was the result of negotiation, veto threat, or because the provision would be unconstitutional on its face. However, like the implied use of its power under the Commerce Clause, the use of its power of the purse could be implied as well or may find its way into an amendment in a future appropriation. Now that H.R. 4310 is now law, whether the administration will abide by the stipulations within the law or seek to avoid them, citing its own constitutional power over diplomatic matters, should soon become apparent. No doubt a sign of the administration’s intention will come soon given ongoing efforts regarding an International Code of Conduct as well as negotiations over the use of TCBMs in the Group of Government Experts. Regardless of the fact that H.R. 4310 and its provisions, including those surrounding the Code of Conduct, have become law, the President, through his signing statement, makes it clear that the separation of powers battle on a code of conduct is set to continue on the domestic front. Congress, on the other hand, will likewise seek to enforce the provisions of H.R. 4310. Given past experiences between Congress and the White House there is certain to be disagreement. For its part, the task of the White House is more onerous for not only must it negotiate a Code of Conduct at the international level, but also contend with the new requirements set upon it on the home front.
1 Presidential signing statements are written comments issued by a President at the time of signing legislation. Frequently, signing statements only comment on the bill signed, by stating that the legislation is good or meets one or more pressing needs. Signing statements can also contain claims by presidents that they believe part of the legislation interferes with powers enumerated to the Executive Branch only making them unconstitutional, and they intend to ignore those parts or implement them only in ways they believe is constitutional. The use of signing statement is controversial, especially in the second instance.
2 The White House may be relying on a legal opinion requested by the General Counsel of the House Office of Science and Technology from the Department of Justice regarding the Wolf Amendment to the NASA Authorization Act of 2010. The Amendment specifically forbids NASA and the OSTP to expend funds for bilateral collaboration with China in any space-related activities, including the hosting of Chinese nationals. The memorandum is titled Unconstitutional Restrictions on Activities of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in Section 1340(a) of the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 and dated September 19, 2011. While the analysis in the memorandum is extensive, the essence of the memorandum is that Congress cannot use the threat of withholding funds to abrogate a constitutional power of the Executive Branch, which in this case is diplomatic powers enumerated exclusively to the President. Notably, the memorandum found that some of the prohibitions in the Wolf Amendment were not diplomatic in nature and therefore the expenditure of funds could be prohibited. Taking this opinion, the implementation of a code of conduct by federal agencies might be considered an act in furtherance of diplomatic activities and therefore any effort to prevent them through the denial of funds might be unconstitutional.
3 TCBMs have been used extensively for the purpose of arms control and specifically in the arena of nuclear weapons. By their nature TCBMs are considered a “top-down” approach to addressing issues. They are not intended to supplant disarmament accords but rather to be a stepping stone to legally enforceable instruments. However, per the National Space Policy the approach by the US in the UN Group of Governmental Experts is to use TCBMs in place of legally-binding treaties. Because they are not legally-binding, the President or any of the agencies under the Executive Branch can enter into negotiations for bi-lateral or multilateral TCBMs without the involvement of Congress. A good example is the Incidents on the High Seas Agreement between the United States and the USSR.

Horton Hatches the Egg
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Yesterday was the 107th birthday of Theodor Geisel from Springfield, MA. I say with a smile, my little crocodile, you may know him better as an early trendsetter, as the good Dr. Seuss, you may deduce, because I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. To you I’m so faithful one-hundred percent. Yes, boys and girls, Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904. After he attended Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. He published his first children's book, “And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street,” in 1937. However, it was his book, “The Cat in the Hat,” that really earned him a place in literary history 53 years ago. Dr. Seuss went on to publish 44 children's books, win the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, in addition to three Academy Awards, before his death in 1991. And so it was, I say because, last Monday I celebrated his birthday early, you must know surely – with his 1940 classic “Horton Hatches the Egg.” Please don’t complain as I attempt to explain. The day began early for me as I found myself at William Winchester Elementary School in Westminster. I was among about a dozen local volunteers that day to help celebrate “Read Across America” day, which is celebrated every year in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Also on Monday, Gov. Martin O’Malley read to first graders from Germantown Elementary at Annapolis Public Library and proclaimed the month of March “Read Across Maryland” month. To kick-off the month-long emphasis on reading, “Maryland’s public school students will be treated to readings by community leaders, elected officials, published authors and educators to celebrate … what would have been Dr. Seuss’ 107th birthday,” according to a press release from the governor’s office. “For the second year, we are declaring March as ‘Read Across Maryland Month’ to encourage our children to read and learn not just this month, but all year long,” the governor was quoted in the release. “Working together with educators, our public libraries, and families across Maryland, we can instill a thirst for knowledge in our children that will help them achieve their dreams… “This year, the program has expanded to include a partnership with the Maryland Library Association, with a theme of ‘30 for 30,’ a challenge to parents, teachers, and students to read 30 minutes every day for 30 days for the month of March.” Last Monday, I was assigned to Ms. Susan Rolla’s first-grade class in room number three. If I am not mistaken, it was my homeroom for a year when I went to school there in the early 1960s. Those reading this column will be happy to note that the children helped me with the big words as I read “Horton Hatches the Egg.” Dr. Seuss published the tale in 1940 and it has all sorts of worldly advice for the reader that's good for a lifetime – and for today – far beyond the fascinating story, fun illustrations and amusing rhymes. The next chance you get, rummage around your bookshelves at home and re-read some of his books with an adult perspective. Or, you may watch the “Merrie Melodies” Warner Brothers’ April 11, 1942, cartoon version of “Horton” here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G5g1H08EhY. If you will recall, Dr. Seuss explains a valuable lesson in the form of a story about Horton, a friendly elephant who takes over the task of sitting on the egg of a lazy, tired, and bored bird named Mayzie: “Now once in a jungle, or so the tale goes, there lived a strange bird that most everyone knows. Her name it was Mayzie. She was mean as could be, and never seemed happy while up in her tree. Sighed Mayzie, this lazy bird hatching her egg... “Mayzie: I'm tired and I'm bored and I've kinks in my leg from sitting, just sitting here day after day. It's work, how I hate it. I'd much rather play. If I could find someone, I'd fly away free.” When Horton takes over the task of sitting on the egg he is not aware that Mayzie has no intentions of coming back. She takes off for Palm Springs for a permanent vacation: “Mayzie: I'll hurry right back. Why, I'll never be missed. Horton: Very well, since you insist. I'll stay and be faithful, I mean what I say. Mayzie: Toodle-oo, said Mayzie, and fluttered away.” So, Horton was left holding the bag. He waits and waits, never leaving his precarious perch. Horton suffers through the cold and hardships of a freezing winter. In the spring he endured the insults of so-called friends: “They taunted. They teased him. They yelled ‘How Absurd! Old Horton the Elephant thinks he's a bird!’” However, Horton was patient. He made a promise that he would sit on the egg and he is determined to keep his promise: “I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent.” Horton is then captured by hunters, suffers a horrible sea journey, and is finally sold to a traveling circus, which just so happens to trek to Palm Springs, where Mayzie finds him again. Fifty-one weeks after Horton agreed to help Mayzie and just as the egg begins to hatch, Mayzie pitches a fit and claims the egg. However, when the egg hatches, a little baby emerges that looks like Horton. Horton and the baby return to the jungle. “And it should be, it should be, it SHOULD be like that! Because Horton was faithful! He sat and he sat! He meant what he said. And he said what he meant.... And they sent him home. Happy, one hundred per cent!” Think about it.

Sonia Gandhi to Indian Voters: Don’t Fall for ‘Divisive’ Politics
These Are The Most Godless Cities In America
Denver Nicks
@DenverNicks
A new survey ranks U.S. cities in terms of 'bible-mindedness'
America, you may have a new Sodom and Gomorrah.
The two least “Bible-minded” cities in the United States are the adjacent metros of Providence, R.I., and New Bedford, Mass., according to a study out Wednesday from the American Bible Society.
The study defines “Bible-mindedness” as a combination of how often respondents read the Bible and how accurate they think the Bible is. “Respondents who report reading the bible within the past seven days and who agree strongly in the accuracy of the Bible are classified as ‘Bible Minded,’” says the study’s methodology.
Christian missionaries can apparently steer clear of Tennessee, as the report suggests the state is the most devout in the union. Chattanooga was found to be the most Bible-minded city in America, a title it won from last year’s victor, Knoxville.
Overall, the study found an inverse relationship between population density and “Bible friendliness.”
“Not surprisingly, many cities in the East Coast continued to rank as the least Bible-minded in 2013,” says a press release.
Surprisingly, that den of sin called New York City didn’t make the top ten least Bible-minded cities, coming in at 89th in the list of 100. Suspecting New York’s large Jewish population may have rescued it from the bottom ten, TIME inquired as to whether the Torah counted as the Bible for the purposes of the survey. A spokesperson said questioners left it up to respondents to determine what they considered to be the sacred text, but the question asked was, “How many times do you read the bible outside of church or a synagogue?”
“We want people to know that whether you live in the least or most Bible-minded cities, the Bible can speak to your needs, challenges and concerns and help you make sense of your life,” said American Bible Society communications officer Geoffrey Morin.
The full list ranked 1 to 100 can be seen below. | 2014-15/0022/en_head.json.gz/5516 | {"url": "http://time.com/1541/godless-cities-in-america/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "time.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:23:26Z", "digest": "sha1:IU7BJP37BU4YL4GPU7V6PA5HEPLEU73P"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2126, 2126.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2126, 4354.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2126, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2126, 100.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2126, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2126, 306.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2126, 0.38248848]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2126, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2126, 0.03252033]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2126, 0.01277584]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2126, 0.01843318]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2126, 0.15898618]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2126, 0.56901408]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2126, 4.85070423]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2126, 4.8479461]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2126, 355.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 119, 0.0], [119, 164, 0.0], [164, 177, 0.0], [177, 190, 0.0], [190, 252, 0.0], [252, 300, 1.0], [300, 494, 1.0], [494, 816, 1.0], [816, 1064, 1.0], [1064, 1166, 1.0], [1166, 1291, 1.0], [1291, 1825, 1.0], [1825, 2078, 1.0], [2078, 2126, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 119, 0.0], [119, 164, 0.0], [164, 177, 0.0], [177, 190, 0.0], [190, 252, 0.0], [252, 300, 0.0], [300, 494, 0.0], [494, 816, 0.0], [816, 1064, 0.0], [1064, 1166, 0.0], [1166, 1291, 0.0], [1291, 1825, 0.0], [1825, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 9.0], [53, 119, 10.0], [119, 164, 8.0], [164, 177, 2.0], [177, 190, 1.0], [190, 252, 10.0], [252, 300, 9.0], [300, 494, 31.0], [494, 816, 52.0], [816, 1064, 41.0], [1064, 1166, 13.0], [1166, 1291, 21.0], [1291, 1825, 95.0], [1825, 2078, 42.0], [2078, 2126, 11.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 119, 0.0], [119, 164, 0.0], [164, 177, 0.0], [177, 190, 0.0], [190, 252, 0.0], [252, 300, 0.0], [300, 494, 0.0], [494, 816, 0.0], [816, 1064, 0.0], [1064, 1166, 0.0], [1166, 1291, 0.03333333], [1291, 1825, 0.00954198], [1825, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2126, 0.08510638]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 119, 0.0], [119, 164, 0.0], [164, 177, 0.0], [177, 190, 0.0], [190, 252, 0.0], [252, 300, 0.0], [300, 494, 0.0], [494, 816, 0.0], [816, 1064, 0.0], [1064, 1166, 0.0], [1166, 1291, 0.0], [1291, 1825, 0.0], [1825, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2126, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.22641509], [53, 119, 0.12121212], [119, 164, 0.17777778], [164, 177, 0.15384615], [177, 190, 0.15384615], [190, 252, 0.0483871], [252, 300, 0.0625], [300, 494, 0.07216495], [494, 816, 0.02484472], [816, 1064, 0.02419355], [1064, 1166, 0.01960784], [1166, 1291, 0.032], [1291, 1825, 0.03183521], [1825, 2078, 0.03162055], [2078, 2126, 0.02083333]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2126, 0.88208091]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2126, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2126, 0.31874621]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2126, -89.72735335]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2126, 68.39029764]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2126, -47.50400458]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2126, 18.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
From Fort Wayne to the Major Leagues
Getting ready for the season requires some retrospective of years past, and part of that is looking at the all-time roster of the Fort Wayne franchise. According to our records, there have been 670 players that have ever put on either a Wizards or TinCaps uniform, which averages out to 33.5 players on the roster per season. I think that other half-player showed up in our Harlem Shake video…
Just a pair of legs in the back of the video…
From that all-time roster, with the help of TinCaps radio broadcaster Mike Maahs and 2013 TinCaps broadcasting and media relations assistant John Nolan (more on him later this week), I’ve compiled a list of Fort Wayne alumni that have gone on to play Major League Baseball. Some nuggets from the list of 111 players:
-The first Wizards player to reach the majors was LaTroy Hawkins, who debuted on April 29, 1995 with the Minnesota Twins. He is now 40 years old and recently signed a minor league deal with the Mets.
-The first TinCaps player to reach the major leagues was Mat Latos, on July 19, 2009, with the Padres, after having made his last appearance in Fort Wayne on May 18th of that same year.
-24 former players made their major league debut with the Twins
-55 former players made their major league debut with the Padres
-Other teams where alums have debuted include Seattle (5), Baltimore (2), Boston (2), Chicago-AL (2), Milwaukee (2), New York-AL (2), Pittsburgh (2), St. Louis (2), Tampa Bay (2), Arizona (1), Chicago-NL (1), Colorado (1), Detroit (1), Houston (1), Kansas City (1), Los Angeles-AL (1), Los Angeles-NL (1), New York-NL (1), Oakland (1), and San Francisco (1).
-The list includes two World Series MVPs in David Freese and David Eckstein
-Justin Germano, who threw a perfect game for the Triple-A Columbus Clippers
-Javier Valentin, brother of TinCaps Manager Jose Valentin, who once hit a home run from both sides of the plate as a member of the Wizards
-A near-Midwest League batting champion in Sean Burroughs, who hit a ridiculous .359 with the Wizards in 1999. Somehow, South Bend’s Carlos Urquiola hit .362 that year to win the title. Burroughs also hit the game-winning single in the first game ever played at the Padres’ PETCO Park.
-2012 National League Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Winner Chase Headley
-Retired pitcher, author, radio host and Tweeter Dirk Hayhurst
-Incredible comeback success story Steve Delabar
Here’s the full list of former Fort Wayne players who have appeared in a Major League Baseball game:
We’re now just 43 days away from first pitch here at Parkview Field, and 36 days from the TinCaps’ first game of 2013, when they play the Great Lakes Loons up in Midland, Michigan.
Stay tuned to the blog this Friday, when you’ll hear from 2013 TinCaps Broadcasting and Media Relations Assistant John Nolan, who will be on all 70 home radio broadcasts with Mike Maahs this season.
Last month I wrote a blog post asking you for some of your favorite memories of players to have come though Fort Wayne, and I promised that I’d include those responses in a future blog post. This is that blog post. Here was the response on Facebook:
That’s a pretty good range right there from Cuddyer, who played in Fort Wayne in 1998, and Rymer Liriano, who was named Midwest League MVP in 2011. Unfortunately, Liriano will sit out this year after having Tommy John surgery.
The responses in the comment section on the blog were even more recent. Kristin Jackson wrote:
“Travis Whitmore should be recognized- he did great all season for the Tincaps. We really enjoyed being his host family- he’s a great guy who comes from a fantastic family. We are thankful to be a part of his journey while he is living his dream.”
Angela said:
“Cody Hebner doing the “dougie” at multiple games! My son loves that kid! Also Daniel Cropper came in and had a great season. He made our summer the best ever. He always left tickets for my son to attend all the home games.”
That’s one of the fun parts of going to a TinCaps game–you just never know which player you’re watching on a summer night will end up on a major league roster one day. On average across baseball, only two players from any given roster will ever see time in an MLB game. Fort Wayne’s rate has been great through the years, with an average of 5.5 players from every team seeing time in a big league uniform.
As always, thanks for reading.

We are getting closer and closer to Opening Day 2013, with just 45 days standing between you, me, and the first “Play Ball” at Parkview Field this year. It’s starting to feel like baseball season around the TinCaps offices, too. The phones are constantly chirping, the coffee is always brewing and the anticipating is building. There’s a much different aura once February hits–but it’s a comfortable and familiar one. Each day during the baseball season is like riding an old wooden roller coaster; it starts with a slow climb and eventually takes you all the way to the top of the on a creaky car that rattles your nerves and seemingly takes forever to hit the peak. Then you go down the hill for excitement (that’s the game), with the wind gushing in your face and your hands uncontrollably flailing in the air. Eventually, three or so hours later (fortunately roller coaster rides don’t last that long, otherwise they’d have to provide a barf bag), you are in the decrescendo and nearing the end of the ride. You’ve had an emotional and physical journey, but crave more. Fortunately in Minor League Baseball, there is no line for the next ride. Another game is but a good night’s sleep away.
I had the privilege of speaking to the Fort Wayne Rotaract group this past week, and gave them a tour of Parkview Field. Believe it or not, it was the first formal tour of the facility that I’d given in almost a year in Fort Wayne. I’ve certainly expended lots of breath talking about the park and spent plenty of time showing folks the press box, but I’d never shared the guts of the stadium or taken anyone out into the dugout for the first time. Here’s the thing about giving tours: I get to see every part of the park whenever I want to. I work here. The people that are on that tour may have never been up to the suite level before and have never seen the TinCaps clubhouse. It’s a new and exciting experience for each and every person, and I have to keep that in mind when I give a detail that I think might be insignificant, like the amount of money players get per day for food when they’re on the road. Like when a child visits Disney World and thinks he or she is really meeting Mickey Mouse, there’s a first-time curiosity with stepping out into the dugout for folks, even if it is half covered in drifting snow and it’s 7:00 and too dark to see the outfield wall. It’s fun to see and thrilling to share.

WAR is the Answer
OK, well not in the sense you may think. We’re talking about the baseball term “Wins Above Replacement”. Please stop typing whatever angry email you were writing to me.
There’s a great article on ESPN.com that talks about WAR, and how it’s a necessary statistic in today’s era when it comes to understanding the value of each baseball player:
“Fight it if you like, but baseball has become too complicated to solve without science. Every rotation of every pitch is measured now. Every inch that a baseball travels is measured now. Teams that used to get mocked for using spreadsheets now rely on databases packed with precise location and movement of every player on every play — and those teams are the norm, not the film-inspiring exceptions. This is exciting and it’s terrifying.” The author, Sam Miller, does an excellent job of explaining, for those of us unfamiliar with baseball’s advanced stats, what exactly WAR is:
“A single baseball at-bat is magnificently complex, a single game exponentially more so, a team’s season more than that and a player’s career more than that. WAR uses the most advanced available data to measure, in each area of performance, how many runs a major league player saved or produced relative to a consistent baseline: the runs likely saved or produced by an average minor leaguer called up as a hypothetical “replacement.” It expresses those runs as wins — about 10 runs to one win — and calls it a player’s “worth” over a year. It takes all of baseball’s amazing intricacy and sums it up in a number.”
Perhaps the most eye-opening comparison Miller makes is between David Eckstein and Miguel Tejada, and how WAR shows them to be of nearly equal value:
“The mainstream story about Eckstein — he’s small and not technically very good, but boy does he have grit — was told through adjectives, not facts. At the media-criticism site Fire Joe Morgan, there was a David Eckstein category comprising 20 separate posts on Eckstein hagiographies. That’s nearly 12,000 (hysterical) words mocking the reporters who celebrated the plucky Eckstein despite his weak arm, punchless bat and general failure to be athletic.
Now, here’s the twist: David Eckstein was actually very valuable, and it had nothing to do with the adjectives. In 2002 Eckstein (WAR of 4.4, according to analytics-based website FanGraphs) was almost as good as Miguel Tejada (WAR of 4.7), who won the AL MVP award that year. Tejada hit 34 home runs and drove in 131. But Eckstein was nearly his equal while driving in 63 and taking a running start every time he threw to first. How? WAR, and the components that it comprises, tells us:
1. Eckstein let himself get hit by 27 pitches, giving him a better OBP than Tejada and blunting Tejada’s power advantage.
2 . Eckstein hit into a third as many double plays.
3. Eckstein was actually a good defensive shortstop with more range than Tejada and more success turning double plays.
A writer who wanted to praise Eckstein, then, could have made some assumptions about Eckstein based on his height, weight and skin color (white), collected some flattering athlete-cliche quotes from Eckstein’s teammates and flipped through his thesaurus looking for new words — thaumaturgical! leptosome! — to describe the little guy. Or he could have started with WAR and explained how David Eckstein, ballplayer, was good at playing ball.”
You’ve probably never thought of Eckstein and Tejada as possible equals, right? There’s so much that I don’t understand about WAR and advanced baseball statistics, but that area of the game is something that I am going to learn more about this year. I may not incorporate those numbers into my broadcasts, but I do want to know more about how numbers can help explain what happens on the field. The days of “only nerds use advanced numbers” and “I’m not a computers guy” are gone. I agree with Miller. This is the future.
Bonus: Here’s the ESPN The Magazine podcast where Miller talks more in-depth about his article: http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=8972646

Week Three (Rodney Daal, Jose Dore, Zach Eflin, Max Fried, Jalen Goree)
Justin Hancock
It was former Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill who coined the phrase “All politics is local”, which means that the success of a politician is tied to his or her ability to deal with constituent issues. The more local focus, the better. In 2012, that morphed into “All baseball is local” as Fort Wayne not only had Matt Wisler (Bryan, Ohio) but Justin Hancock, from Defiance, Ohio, which is just an hour away from the ballpark. The presence of those two players provided a lot of interest within the region, because instead of having to travel to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or Bowling Green, Kentucky, the players’ families and friends could make a day trip out of seeing a TinCaps game.
Hancock, a ninth-round pick out of Lincoln Trail Junior College (IL) in 2011, opened the season with Fort Wayne. He didn’t have great success in a TinCaps uniform, but that doesn’t mean his whole year was a wash. Here are the splits:
Fort Wayne (April 5-May 28) 0-4, 6.95 ERA, 13 games, 2 starts, 33 2/3 IP, 44H, 31R, 26 ER, 20 BB, 23 K, .312 BAA
Eugene (June 17-August 30) 5-1, 1.61 ERA, 15 games, 14 starts, 72 2/3 IP, 52H, 17R, 13 ER, 23 BB, 66 K, .203 BAA
His numbers at Eugene were stupendous. He gave up only eight more hits in 39 more innings and 13 fewer earned runs. Here’s what Eugene Emeralds broadcaster Matt Dompe had to say about Hancock:
Pitching coach Nelson Cruz raved about Hancock all year long. He has four pitches of which Cruz already rated three of them as big league caliber. He is a big guy and a quick worker. When Hancock was able to get into a groove he was pretty much lights out allowing one run or less in 12 of his 15 outings.

MadFriars.com’s John Conniff, who has covered the Padres farm system for several seasons and made a trip to Fort Wayne last summer, named Hancock his pitcher of the year in Eugene:
While I like FIP, like all statistics, it measures some things better than others; specifically it will undervalue a pitcher like Justin Hancock who thrives on mishits to induce weak ground outs. The opposition only hit .203 against him as compared to .280 against Marcano and Hancock gave up significantly fewer hits (52) than innings pitched as compared to David’s choice. After posting an ERA of 4.26 in June, Hancock’s ERA in July and August (60 innings) was 1.05. A big factor in his improvement was his ability to master the two-seam fastball that enabled him to have the success that eluded him in Fort Wayne earlier in the year.
Bonus question: The 2012 TinCaps players, at some point, decided that I was a dead ringer for Hancock. Thoughts?
Chris Haney
We didn’t get to see much of Chris Haney during 2012 because he pitched in only three games in a TinCaps uniform, and struggled during the time he was here. Haney’s 2012 TinCaps stats were:
0-2, 15.75 ERA, 3G, 4IP, 9H, 8R, 7ER, 4BB, 8K
He did a lot of travel last season, beginning the year with Advanced-A Lake Elsinore, coming to Fort Wayne, and then being sent, on the day of the Midwest League All-Star game, to Eugene. Haney will be a bit on the older side of the Midwest League spectrum when the season starts at 24 years old, and may open the year with Lake Elsinore, but it all depends on how rosters shake out and how minor league camp goes next month.
Drew Harrelson
This past weekend I was in Cedar Falls, Iowa, to broadcast a basketball game at the University of Northern Iowa. My broadcast partner for that game, former college basketball coach Rich Zvosec, said he got one of the greatest presents ever…when he was fired from his job at the University of Missouri-Kansas City on his birthday. That’s definitely a story you should read about. But someone else who got a more classically exciting birthday present is Padres farmhand Drew Harrelson, who was selected by the Padres the day before his birthday in the 12th round of the draft last summer.
The Nashville, Georgia, native turned 18 last June and made his professional debut with the rookie-level Arizona League Padres, pitching in 10 games out of the bullpen. In 11 innings, he struck out eight, walked six and allowed seven earned runs.
Here’s some background on Harrelson, courtesy of The Valdosta Daily Times:
Harrelson is a 6-foot-6, 180-pound left-handed pitcher with a fastball that has been consistently clocked between 87-89 mph. When he worked out for the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this year, he reached 93 mph on the radar gun three times.
Last season, he went 9-1 with a 2.49 earned run average for Berrien. He set the Rebels’ single-season record with 109 strikeouts, while facing just 307 batters. He was chosen the Region 1-AA Pitcher of the Year for the second consecutive season. He also helped the Rebels win the Region 1-AA championship.
“We’re very proud of Drew,” Berrien head coach Doug Nix said. “Any time you get a kid drafted, that’s a great honor. As a young boy growing up and playing, that’s always your dream. Every kid has that dream of one day playing Major League Baseball. To be drafted out of high school, it’s just a great honor and a dream come true, one that I’m sure he’s worked towards all his life.”
The Berrien High School program seems to have had a run on talent the last few years, with the Phillies having selected Harrelson’s former teammate Larry Greene, who played for the Williamsport CrossCutters on the New York-Penn League last year, in the supplemental first round of the 2011 draft.
Harrelson turned down a scholarship to Middle Georgia College to sign with San Diego.
Goose Kallunki
Best name ever?
Kallunki was a strong competitor in the annual “Moniker Madness” competition held by Minor League Baseball, losing in the second round to eventual champion Rock Shoulders. Seriously, that’s someone’s name. There’s no question Kallunki will be back for more in 2013 in that competition.
Let’s put the baseball on hold here for a second…how did he get that name?
Great story there from KVAL-TV, which tells us that Maclain Kallunki received the nickname “Goose” because his father liked it and it came from baseball Hall of Famer Goose Gossage.
Kallunki had a big summer in 2012, being named one of three finalists for the Dick Howser Award (college baseball’s Heisman trophy), and then being drafted in the 27th round by San Diego. He went to Eugene, playing exclusively at first base, and hit .254 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 53 games. We’ve already noted that Jose Dore could be a contender for the first base spot, so there’s possibly a decision to be made when the TinCaps break camp.
Last year Michael Kelly was selected in the supplemental first round (48th overall) by the Padres out of high school in Florida, and rated by Baseball America as the 27th-best prospect in the organization. He was taken out of West Boca Raton Community High school and turned down a scholarship from the University of Florida to go pro.
Seinfeld side note: Whenever I see or hear “Boca Raton”, I always think of Jerry Seinfeld’s parents on the TV show, who lived in the fictional Del Boca Vista, Florida.

Oh, baseball…right.
Well, Kelly struggled mightily in a TinCaps uniform to being the season last year, with walks being his biggest issue. In 14 1/3 innings, he walked 18 batters and struck out 14. He also allowed 18 hits and 12 earned runs. Kelly was with Fort Wayne from Opening Day until his last appearance on May 2nd. He finished the year with the Arizona League Padres and was able to significantly correct his walk numbers. In the AZL, he was 0-5 with a 7.11 ERA (35ER in 44 1/3 IP), but struck out 37 and walked just 25.
There seems to be no question that the stuff is there–a very strong fastball, among other qualities–it was just a matter of settling down and finding location in year one for Kelly. He’s 6’5″, 185, a good height for a pitcher, and will be just 21 on opening day this year. Kelly might find himself getting a second chance with the TinCaps this season.
I’ve received a few emails asking about the TinCaps in spring training, so here’s a look at the Padres minor league spring training schedule:

Filed in: Uncategorized Prospect Previews: Week Three
Today, Monday, February 18, 2013 is a day many people do not have to work. It is the birthday of George Washington, our first president. It is also a holiday that celebrates many of our presidents. I have taken deliberate measures to avoid the use of an apostrophe in these first few sentences, and even in naming the holiday at all. For this, I turn to Wikipedia:
“Because Presidents Day is not the official name of the federal holiday, there is variation in how it is rendered. Both Presidents Day and Presidents’ Day are common today, and both are considered correct by dictionaries and usage manuals. Presidents’ Day was once the predominant style, and it is still favored by the majority of significant authorities—notably, The Chicago Manual of Style (followed by most book publishers and some magazines), The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Webster’s Third International Dictionary, and Garner’s Modern American Usage. In recent years, as the use of attributive nouns (nouns acting as modifiers) has become more widespread, the popularity of “Presidents Day” has increased. This style is favored by the Associated Press Stylebook (followed by most newspapers and some magazines) and the Writer’s Digest Grammar Desk Reference (ISBN 978-1582973357).
President’s Day is a misspelling when used with the intention of celebrating more than one individual (see also apostrophe); however, as an alternate rendering of “Washington’s Birthday,” or as denominating the commemoration of the presidency as a singular institution, it is a proper spelling of a possessive. Indeed, this spelling was considered for use as the official federal designation by Robert McClory, a congressman from Illinois who was tasked with getting the 1968 federal holiday reorganization bill through the House Judiciary Committee. Nonetheless, while Washington’s Birthday was originally established to honor George Washington, the term Presidents Day was informally coined in a deliberate attempt to use the holiday to honor multiple presidents, and is virtually always used that way today. Though President’s Day is sometimes seen in print — even sometimes on government Web sites, this style is not endorsed by any major dictionary or usage authority.” (Emphasis added by It’s All Relative)
The official name of the holiday which some of us celebrate today is Washington’s Birthday. For all that I was told in college about not using Wikipedia as a source, I’m perfectly comfortable with citing these two above paragraphs to make a point about grammar. Many people will see today as an occasion to get laundry or errands done, but why not throw in a little learning, too? Thank you, Washington and Wikipedia.
Before we get to week three of our Prospect Previews, a quick recap of a trip I took these past few days with the IPFW men’s basketball team. I was filling in for my friend (and TinCaps broadcast partner) Kent Hormann, playing the role of broadcaster for the Mastodons’ games against the Kangaroos of the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Coyotes (pronounced KYE-oats) of the University of South Dakota.
First was our stop in Kansas City, a nice place and also the home to the world’s oldest waterbed store. No, seriously:
The other side of the sign makes the same claim for futons. College students everywhere are rejoicing.
These are the types of things you’ll find on a quest for a Radio Shack. Lesson: Never forget AA batteries.
Here’s where the Mastodons (head coach Tony Jasick is in the black shirt) practiced and played against UMKC. IPFW won, 65-60. It’s a small facility, but it gets the job done.
This is the Swinney Recreation Center at UMKC. It’s also the Roos’ home court.
After this game, it was off to Vermillion, South Dakota, about a five-hour bus ride from Kansas City. I hadn’t been on a bus ride that long since the end of baseball season, so it was a nice way to get myself used to being on a bus again before we start the 2013 TinCaps campaign. We stopped to eat in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and let me tell you that Sam’s Italian Villa is the hidden gem of Council Bluffs. The chicken parm sandwich is a delicacy. Next time you’re there, tell them I sent you.
Odd travel note: For the entirety of the 2012 baseball season, I sat on the right side of the team bus. Bus seating is a bit like seating in a college classroom; once you pick your seat, that’s what your stuck with, for better or worse, for the entire year. I always slept with my bus pillow on my right side and that was comfortable. On this trip from Kansas City to Vermillion I sat on the left and it was something else. I just couldn’t get used to it. Back to the right side for the baseball season. It might seem like a little detail, but with the amount of sleep that takes place on the bus, it’s a huge detail.
Friday dinner took place at Little Italy’s in Vermillion:
Perhaps Little Italy’s (never got to meet him) is the cultural mecca of Vermillion on a Friday night–I can’t be sure. But a decent crowd gathered to watch these two gents attempt to eat this giant pizza.
If you and a friend can eat that entire pizza in an hour, not only is the $40 meal free, but you also get $50. I snapped this photo as we were leaving, and it didn’t look like these guys were going to make it.
Saturday was game day, which meant a trip to the DakotaDome:
Vermillion’s 10,000 seat sporting venue is home to the Coyotes, not only for basketball, but for football, too. This is what the football turf looks like right now:
And here’s a shot of the roof:
Unlike the roof of the Carrier Dome at my alma mater, Syracuse University, the roof of the DakotaDome is not entirely supported by air pressure. It was built in 1979, but the roof collapsed twice within the first three years. The structure is now entirely supported by metal, meaning there are no worries about all of the air escaping from the building.
Here was my broadcast position for the game:
If you replace the hand-written chart with a filled-out scorebook, you’ve got pretty much the same setup for baseball, too.
All in all, it was a fun trip because the Mastodons went 2-0 and I got to check South Dakota off my list of states visited. I’ll be calling more basketball on a return trip to Iowa this coming Saturday the 23rd for ESPN’s BracketBusters, as Denver takes on Northern Iowa. You can catch the game on WatchESPN.com Saturday night.
To baseball…
We are into week three of our prospect previews series, and this week we’ll look at Rodney Daal, Jose Dore, Zach Eflin, Max Fried, and Jalen Goree. If you’ve missed either of the first two weeks here’s week one and week two.
Rodney Daal
2012 was the year of the catcher as far as prospects went for the TinCaps, with the much-heralded Austin Hedges playing 96 of a possible 140 games behind the plate. Much of the buzz about Hedges revolved around his defensive prowess and later, his hitting talent. Observers also were impressed that Hedges was only 19 for a majority of the season. If Rodney Daal is to play with the TinCaps in 2013, the team will have yet another young backstop.
Daal, a native of Amsterdam (the Netherlands, not New York or Missouri), is 18 years old as of this writing and will turn 19 on March 23rd. In two years in the Padres system, he’s still only seem limited action, playing in 25 games in 2011 and 42 games in 2012. He hit .243 with the Arizona League Padres in 2011, also playing in one game with Triple-A Tucson, and then last year split his season between the AZL Padres and the Eugene Emeralds. Daal, in the 2013 Baseball America Prospect Handbook, is listed fourth on the minor league depth chart behind Hedges, Jason Hagerty and Dane Philips. By all indications, Daal is still young, raw and getting acclimated to the professional game in the United States.
Here’s what Eugene Emeralds broadcaster Matt Dompe had to say of Daal after last season:
“Daal was a good catch and release defensive catcher but did have trouble blocking balls in the dirt. He has plans to work this winter with Yankees catcher Russell Martin so it will be very interesting to see how he progresses into next year.”
No word on whether Daal did work out with Martin, but he would certainly be a good pro to learn from. The Padres had Daal as a member of their instructional league corps following last season, too. With the AZL Padres last year Daal hit .306 in 21 games and .288 in 21 games with Eugene.
Jose Dore
When the first batch of 25 players arrived in Fort Wayne to begin last season, it took me a few days to be able to match names to faces and to discern personalities. With Jose Dore, however, that process was a little bit easier than with most. After the team had dinner with their host families at the field that first night in town, I needed a few volunteers to help film a video and Dore was one of the first to volunteer. As we shot the video, which took a few hours, he kept everyone loose with a good attitude and good humor (sadly, no Choco Tacos). Unfortunately for Dore, he only played in three games with the TinCaps during 2012 because of a dislocated left shoulder he suffered on April 7th against Lake County.
With the TinCaps trailing, 9-1, in the bottom of the ninth inning, Dore singled to lead off the inning and then tried to steal second, but was thrown out. I remember being down in the dugout, waiting to do a postgame interview at the time, and watching Dore walk to the locker room with trainer Isak Yoon. Dore was hunched at the waist, grimacing in pain, and holding his left elbow, but really supporting his shoulder. We did not see him again at Parkview Field in 2012. He played in four more games with the Arizona League Padres and two with the Eugene Emeralds, and only had 33 at-bats for the season.
Last year was supposed to be a transition year for the native Floridian who signed out of high school in 2010, and was attempting to become a first baseman after having played the outfield for the first two years of his career. A return to Fort Wayne to begin the season wouldn’t be out of the question, at least to start the year, for Dore.
Zach Eflin
The most consistent buzz from around the Padres system that I keep hearing about the 2013 TinCaps is about the pitching rotation. There’s a strong possibility, sources tell TinCaps.com’s Mike Couzens, that the pitching staff could include names like Walker Weickel, Max Fried, Joe Ross and Zach Eflin. All were taken in either the first round (Ross ’11, Fried ’12) or supplemental first round (Weickel ’12, Eflin ’12). The 19-year-0ld Eflin (he’ll turn 20 on April 8th) was taken with the 33rd overall pick, given to San Diego as compensation for when Heath Bell signed with the Miami Marlins. (Bell has since been traded to Arizona, meaning he’ll face his former team much more often this season.)
Eflin is listed at 6″4″, 200 pounds and in his senior season at Hagerty High School in Ovideo, Florida, he went 7-0 with a 0.51 ERA. He didn’t pitch last April due to triceps tendinitis, and Baseball America says, “if not for the injury he might have been a first-round pick.” That said, going 33rd overall and signing for $1.2 million isn’t bad, either. His post-draft action was understandably limited, as he worked just seven innings over four Arizona League appearances. He struck out four, walked three and allowed six earned runs.
Baseball America calls his changeup “above average” and says he consistently throws strikes in the low 90′s. Consistency is one of the biggest keys to success in the Midwest League, especially when it comes to attacking the strike zone.
Worth reading is this piece from the Orlando Sentinel, which details the rough childhood endured by Eflin. Here’s an exerpt:
“My family means the world to me,” said Eflin, who signed with UCF. “I wouldn’t be on this Earth without every single one of them.”
Eflin was barely more than a year old when two tragedies struck his family.
Zach’s grandfather, William Adams, died in October 1995. Two weeks later, his 7-year-old sister, Ashley, died of complications relating to leukemia.
“The one thing I can take out of it is that the worst thing that could have happened to my life has already happened,” said Larry Eflin, Zach’s father.
Those hardships led Cathy, Zach’s mother, to start drinking, and she battled alcohol addiction for several years.
“It was a tough situation to live through, and I wasn’t as strong as I would have wanted to be,” Cathy said.
Cathy and Larry are divorced, and Zach said he has a “very weak” relationship with his mother, talking to her once every couple of weeks.
Max Fried
Tell me if this sounds familiar–a first-round pick of the Padres, committed to UCLA, from California tall, lanky pitcher…well, if you follow the TinCaps, you’ll bring to mind Joe Ross, who started with Fort Wayne in 2012. That description also fits another pitcher who might find himself in a TinCaps uniform in 2013, and his name is Max Fried.
Ross’ last start in a Fort Wayne uniform was May 4th (sore shoulder), so if Fried opens the year here we’ll hope to see him injury-free, and potentially anchoring a very young, very talented staff. Here’s the book on Fried:
Baseball America: “A quality fastball, operating in the low 90′s and peaking at 96…(His) downer curveball is a plus-plus pitch at its best.”
“Exceptionally gifted for a high school lefthander and could speed through the minors in the same fashion as Cole Hamels and Clayton Kershaw.”
Now let’s just see how quickly both Hamels and Kershaw went through the minor leagues. Hamels was drafted 17th overall in 2002 by the Phillies and made his MLB debut on May 12, 2006. He pitched just 201 innings in the minors before making the big leagues, and appeared in just 13 games at the Low-A level with Lakewood of the South Atlantic League. Kershaw was drafted 7th overall in 2006 and made his MLB debut on May 25th, 2008. He had almost a full year in the Midwest League, going 7-5 with a 2.77 ERA with the Loons in 2007. Overall, Kershaw had 220 1/3 innings in the minors.
For comparison, I randomly selected John Lackey of the Boston Red Sox so that we could observe how long, relatively speaking, it took him to get to the majors. Lackey was a second round pick of the Angels in 1999 and made his MLB debut June 24, 2002, tossing 556 innings in the minors before appearing in his first big league game. Kershaw never pitched at Triple-A, Hamels made three starts for the then Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (now RailRiders!), while Lackey pitched parts of two seasons a Triple-A. In summary, most guys don’t speed through to MLB in about 200 innings, even if they end up having a sustained career like Lackey.
Back to Fried, who last season went 0-1 with a 3.57 ERA and six walks in 17 2/3 innings during 10 games (nine starts) for the Padres’ rookie team.
Of playing at a new level, Fried told Padres.com: “It’s just a matter of adjusting to the lifestyle of playing professional baseball, every day and the grind.” Towards the end, I really focused on not walking anyone and throwing strikes.”
Fried pitched his senior season at Harvard-Westlake High School in California, where he was a teammate of Lucas Giloito (16th overall pick), who was selected in the draft by the Washington Nationals.
Baseball America says he will “probably” begin the year in Fort Wayne.
Jalen Goree
If you like speed, chances are you’ll like watching Jalen Goree. All accounts say that he’s a guy who can move on the basepaths and his accolades coming out of Alabama indicate he’s a talent. Goree, a sixth-round pick of the Padres last June, was named the Class-4A Player of the Year for the state of Alabama:
“Goree was picked for the All-State first team as a shortstop. Goree hit .459 and drove in 36 runs during his senior season and led the Choctaws to the second round of the Class 4A playoffs. He had 10 doubles, two triples and seven home runs and stole 24 bases. Goree drew 39 walks and struck out only seven times in 122 at-bats.
As a pitcher, Goree posted a 5-3 record with a 1.67 ERA. He struck out 58 batters in 541⁄3 innings and threw one shutout.”
Let’s go Choctaws!
Goree is from Brent, Alabama, population 4,024. Fort Wayne (pop. ~250,000) might take some getting used to, but I’m sure he’ll have no trouble adjusting. Last season with the rookie-level Arizona League Padres, he hit .270 with one home run and 13 RBI in 30 games. He then wrapped up his first season as a pro in instructional league in Arizona. The Padres took him as a shortshop, and he could be the 2013 successor to Jace Peterson in the six-hole this season.
SPECIAL GUEST
Today we’ll get a Padres perspective from Jim Callis of Baseball America. During one of his recent web Q&A sessions, he answered this question about his ranking of the San Diego farm system:
Was there a typing error when you didn't include the Padres in your top 10 farm systems in the last Ask BA? They seem to be loaded good prospects and I would have thought that they at least would crack the top 10 of anyone's list.
Dustin Beers
Winnipeg, Calif.
I say this a lot, and I’ll repeat it again: Except for the very best and worst farm systems, it’s hard to know exactly where they’ll rank until I sit down and start stacking them all up against each other. In my mind, I thought the Padres had one of the best systems in baseball. But when I started looking at all the systems, San Diego wasn’t as impressive as I thought.
I do think the Padres have one of the deeper systems around, but their Top 10 list pales in comparision to several others. I love the ceiling of 2012 first-rounder Max Fried, the best high school lefthander since Clayton Kershaw, and Austin Hedges is the third-best catching prospect in the game. Jedd Gyorko is one of the better hitters in the minors, though he’s defensively challenged.
But three members of our yet-to-be-released Padres Top 10 are pitchers who had elbow issues in 2012: Robbie Erlin, Casey Kelly and Joe Wieland. Neither Erlin nor Wieland has overpowering stuff to begin with. I don’t want to reveal the whole Top 10, but the back half of it didn’t stand out.
I wound up ranking the Padres 17th on my personal organization rankings. I put that list together before the Blue Jays gave up catcher Travis d’Arnaud and righthander Noah Syndegaard in the R.A. Dickey trade, so I’d move San Diego up a notch now. The three other editors who ranked systems for the 2013 Prospect Handbook put the Padres at 13th, 16th and 19th, so I wasn’t alone in keeping them out of my top 10 systems.
I’ll be back next week with the fourth segment of this eight-part series.
Filed in: Uncategorized Prospect Previews: Week Two
A good portion of what I do during the off-season revolves around my appearances for the TinCaps Speakers Bureau. Last week I was down in Huntington, Indiana to speak to the Rotary Club, and one of the members, who happened to be sitting next to me, got up to tell a story before my presentation. He began to talk about Babe Ruth and how the Bambino had once played in Fort Wayne, long before anyone in the room was born. This Rotarian was telling the story of the longest home run that Ruth ever hit. Here, in a piece from the The News-Sentinel published in 1992 (which is miraculously archived online), is the anecdote of the homer that is said to have been launched here in downtown Fort Wayne:
“(Ruth) was here during a barn-storming tour after the 1927 season. His team was playing an exhibition game at the old League Park on North Clinton Street.
Ruth belted a ball over the left-center-field fence. The story says that the baseball landed on a freight train passing through town at the time.”
As a humorous appendix to that story, I found a great note at the Fort Wayne History Center, written by a gentleman name Frank Howserstein. He wrote to say that his father ran a hot dog stand at League Park, and on the day of that game his father sold six hot dogs and four Coca-Cola’s to Babe Ruth. We’ll never be able to confirm how far that home run really traveled or if Ruth really did consume that much food and drink that day, but they are fun stories that are a part of Fort Wayne’s baseball lore.

This off-season I’ve traveled around Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio to speak to Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs and I’d love to spend some time sharing stories with your group. You can reach me via email – Couzens@TinCaps.com, or by phone at 260-482-6400.
And now for week two of our Prospect Previews series, in which I’ll tell you about five Padres farmhands that could end up on Fort Wayne’s Opening Day roster. Last week we looked at Brian Adams, Corey Adamson, Brandon Alger, Jeremy Baltz and Cory Bostjancic. Here’s week two:
Erik Cabrera
For a guy who had never pitched in the United States prior to this past August, Erik Cabrera did a pretty good job in the five regular-season starts he made for the TinCaps in 2012. While the numbers might not necessarily reflect it, Erik Cabrera has the talent to be a good pitcher at this level. I don’t claim to be able to prognosticate about his ability beyond the Midwest League, but what he showed last season indicated the potential for sustained success. Before arriving in Fort Wayne, he’d only pitched in the Dominican Summer League, so this was a big jump for him.
Let’s compare the numbers from his first two starts against those from his final three starts:
8/6/12 & 8/12/12: 8 2/3 IP, 11H, 11R, 8 ER, 3 HR, 3BB, 10K
8/19/12, 8/25/12, 8/31/12: 15 2/3 IP, 6H, 4R, 1ER, 7BB, 10K
It’s the one earned run in those final 15 2/3 innings that really stands out for me. He showed off a big, hooking curveball that fooled a lot of hitters. Cabrera was a participant in the Padres Instructional League activities at the conclusion of the season, and could be a good contributor here in 2013.
Overall 2012 Fort Wayne stats: 2-2, 3.33 ERA, 5 GS, 24 1/3 IP, 17H, 15 R, 9 ER, 20K, 10BB
Felix Cabrera
It’s not uncommon to have to players with the same last name end up on the same roster. After all, there are thousands of players across Minor League Baseball. But what’s the likelihood that the two are brothers? Well, that’s exactly the case when it comes to Erik and Felix Cabrera. Felix is Erik’s older brother. Erik was born August 15, 1990, and Felix was born July 14, 1989. And as far as I’m aware, there is no relation to Padres infielder Everth Cabrera (who, if you’re wondering, did not play in Fort Wayne).
Felix is an infielder who saw action in 18 games last year for the TinCaps, hitting .209, 1 HR, 4 RBI, while striking out 10 times and walking twice in 43 at-bats. He played in a reserve role behind Tyler Stubblefield at second base after being added to the roster on June 19–the same day Casey McElroy was transferred from Fort Wayne to Advanced-A Lake Elsinore.
Felix will have a couple factors to compete with if he ends up in Fort Wayne, the first of which is his age. He’ll be 23 to start the season and will turn 24 in July. Tyler Stubblefield, who manned second base for the TinCaps for the majority of the 2012 season, was 24 last season and was the oldest player on the roster, with the exception of the few weeks that 26-year-old Chris Fetter was with the club. The other factor for Cabrera is the inevitable grim reaper of pro sports–the fresh crop of younger guys ready to take your spot.
On the 2012 Eugene ballclub both Maxx Tissenbaum (with whom we will read about next month) and River Stevens (also next month) played 43 and 26 games, respectively, at second base. Tissenbaum was drafted in the 11th round and Stevens in the ninth, while Cabrera was signed as a free agent. This level of Minor League Baseball is all about development (seriously, just ask the manager of a team on a losing streak), and the younger guys will get their licks over a veteran.
Stephen Carmon
The goal for most players looking to come out of the collegiate ranks and get into pro baseball through the draft is to go before their senior season rolls around. The blog Minor League University explains why:
“Leverage is a junior draftee’s best friend – it’s the money maker. When negotiating a signing bonus, the organization must throw enough money at a junior to make it worth his while to leave school - forgoing his senior season, not to mention a college degree - and sign a professional contract.
The negotiation process can take weeks, even months if either side is stubborn, but rarely do you see a top junior prospect go unsigned. Leverage can only go so far – as insulted as he may be by the team’s offer, he knows it’s likely far more than he’ll get the following year as a senior
Unless you’re a top pick, seniors don’t get rich on Draft Day – they get anopportunity to get rich.
Teams don’t negotiate signing bonuses with seniors, they tell them. “Hey, we’re gonna draft you in the 32nd round. You’re gonna get $1000 and a plane ticket. Sound good? Welcome to the organization.” They offer you a chance to play baseball at the next level, and if you’re not interested, that’s ok – they’ll find someone who is.”
Stephen Carmon, next in our Prospect Previews series, was selected by the Padres in the 2012 draft after his senior season at the University of South Carolina-Aiken. The undergraduate population at the school is approximately 3,300 students. In comparison, the average TinCaps crowd last year was 5,589 people.
As a senior for the USC-Aiken Pacers, he hit .348 and stole 45 bases. He also scored a team-best 57 runs. So he appeared to be a guy that could not only get on base, but move around the bases without the direct aid of his teammates. But then when you look at where he hit in the Emeralds lineup, it’s a little interesting. For the majority of games in which he played, he batted ninth, while former TinCaps outfielder Corey Adamson hit in the leadoff spot. But late in the season, Carmon began hitting first or second in the lineup. His numbers (.275 average, .383 OBP) display a propensity for getting himself on base. Then again, TinCaps Manager Jose Valentin used Kyle Gaedele in the lower third of the lineup to ensure continuity, even though his numbers might have warranted him being placed in the five or six-slot on the card.
Emeralds broadcaster Matt Dompe channels Paul Harvey to give us the rest of the story:
“Carmon committed 10 errors in his first 15 games but went on to commit just three errors over his final 34 games. His feet and hands are just so quick the coaching staff had to convince him to slow things down and when he did he became the defensive backbone of the infield.
At the plate he managed just 10 hits in 50 at bats to start his pro career. He started to work the count deeper and draw more walks and as a result his batting average started to climb. He battled some an illness and an oblique strain but when he came back from the DL for the stretch run he hit safely in 12 of 13 games and really became the top of the order rabbit the Ems were looking for to set the table.”
Never has the term rabbit been such a compliment. To the next prospect on our list I say, “What’s up, Doc?”
Matt Chabot
One of the staples of the 2012 TinCaps team was its strong bullpen; arms like Matt Stites, Johnny Barbato and James Needy were consistently relied upon to get big out after big out on the run to the Midwest League Championship series. Matt Chabot looks like he could be another reliable arm.
The 21-year-old from Riverside, California, stayed at home for college and went to Riverside City College. After two years at RCC, he was selected by the Padres in the 21st round of the 2012 draft. In addition to getting some interest from the Padres, he also had workouts with both the Rockies and Yankees.
In 25 relief outings with the Emeralds he was 0-0 with a 2.17 ERA, including two saves in as many opportunities. He didn’t give up a hit in the first six innings he worked and didn’t allow an earned run until his seventh professional appearance. He struck out 23 batters, walked 11 and surrendered seven earned runs.
Here’s a link to his full stats page from last season: http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=621187
Joe Church
Like the aforementioned Stephen Carmon, Joe Church was a senior sign for the Padres this past year, as they took the Princeton, West Virginia, native in the 17th round. Church, though, is a more difficult case study when it comes to trying to translate a college career into a professional one. I, again, claim no expertise on the extrapolation of college stats–or really any numbers for that matter. Why do you think I majored in journalism? (As a side note–the only math class I took in college featured open-textbook(!) tests, and I still couldn’t get an A in the class. We move on…)
In four years at Marshall University, Church pitched just 47 innings:
Joe Church’s numbers from his four years at Marshall.
For comparison, 2012 reliever Daniel Cropper pitched nearly double that amount (90 2/3 IP) in just his senior season alone at UNC-Wilmington:
Daniel Cropper’s 2011 stats from UNC-Wilmington.
And as a final sample, here’s what 2011 TinCaps reliever Kevin Quackenbush did during his collegiate career at the University of South Florida:
Kevin Quackenbush’s career stats from the University of South Florida
Without having to break out your bifocals, I’ll tell you that he worked 107 1/3 innings with the Bulls.
Church was injured during his sophomore year and only pitched in one game, which limited his opportunities to get on the hill. Even then, he only saw 28 2/3 innings in his senior season.
From a purely innings pitched standpoint, it seems like it might have been a long spring and summer last year for Church, who pitched in 25 games for Eugene and came two outs away from matching his senior-year innings total. The 6’2″ righty had a 4-2 record and a 3.54 ERA working exclusively in relief. He struck out 35, walked 15 and had a .226 batting average against him.
So last season, between college and pro ball, Church logged 56 2/3 innings. Here’s what type of time full-season members of the TinCaps bullpen saw last year:
Johnny Barbato – 73 1/3 IP
Luis De La Cruz - 69 IP
Players will say, time and time again, that the adjustment to a full season league (more innings, more at-bats, games every day, long bus trips) is one of the tougher things they’ve had to do. If Joe Church ends up in the Fort Wayne bullpen in 2013, he’ll go through that, too.
As of today, Monday, February 11th, we are just 59 days away from Opening Day 2013 at Parkview Field. Don’t forget there’s a big event coming this Saturday here at the ballpark as Opening Day Tickets and single-game tickets for all 70 home games will go on sale at 9AM. If you get here early enough, you’ll even be treated to a free breakfast (while supplies last), courtesy of the TinCaps. You can buy tickets here at the Parkview Field Ticket Office from 9AM-2PM that day, by phone at 260-482-6400 or any time online at TinCaps.com.
I’ll be back next week with the third segment of this eight-part series.
Filed in: Uncategorized Prospect Previews: Week One
Let’s begin with this:
That marks the end of football until Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013 when the college game reconvenes.— Dan Greenspan (@DanGreenspan) February 04, 2013
Quite an exciting Super Bowl last night, which perhaps will be best remembered due to the power outage that stopped the game early in the third quarter.
While most people can’t relate to being a professional football player, some of us (Ok, mostly just me me) can relate to what happened on the broadcasting side of things. While having a bat interrupt a game I was calling was certainly an anomaly, having to broadcast a game on either a land line phone or cell phone is something that’s happened plenty of times. In Minor League Baseball, sometimes your phone line in the booth doesn’t always work, or your equipment is being a little cranky and so the only way to get your broadcast on the air is to just call the studio and have them put you on the air. When the power went out last night at the Superdome, that’s exactly what Kevin Harlan, the play-by-play broadcaster for Dial Global Sports, had to do:
Kevin Harlan describes the scene at Super Bowl 47 via the telephone. (Image courtesy Dial Global Sports)
Minor League Baseball prepares you well for life, folks.
With the Super Bowl behind us, baseball is officially knocking on the door, and that means it’s time for the first in our eight-part series of Prospect Previews:
Each week for the next eight weeks I’ll be taking a look at five different players that could end up on Fort Wayne’s Opening Day roster on April 4th, when they visit the Great Lakes Loons. The series will go in alphabetical order, and I’ll bring you some opinions and insight from folks around the Padres farm system and the world of Minor League Baseball. Away we go!
Adams played his collegiate baseball at the University of Kentucky, the same school as 2011 TinCaps infielder Chris Bisson. Adams, unlike Bisson, is not in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. The potential 2013 TinCaps outfielder hails from Gainesville, Georgia and was selected by the Padres in the 8th round of the 2012 draft.
Quick trivia question: What do does Adams have in common with 2012 TinCaps shortstop Jace Peterson? Both of them played football in college. While Peterson was on the defensive side of the ball, Adams was a wide receiver for the Wildcats. Although he was on a football scholarship, he managed to juggle his time between the football field and the baseball diamond. Here’s an excerpt from a “day in the life” piece that ran on UKAthletics.com:
“The sophomore from Gainesville, Ga., has known since the beginning of spring that this day was coming. When football coach Joker Phillips and baseball coach Gary Henderson decided a month ago that they would allow Adams to play both sports, they decided they’d give him the shot to play both games in one day on April 23.
Adams played a role in both. The 6-foot-4, 223-pounder caught a game-high seven passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns in the Blue/White Game at 3 p.m. before hustling across Cooper Drive to start and play center field in the 7 p.m. baseball game.”
So we know he’s got athletic ability. But why did he choose baseball over football?
Q: Recently you decided to give up football full-time, and focus on baseball. What were the reasons for the switch?
A: “I just really liked baseball. I feel like I had more opportunities with the game, and that I could do a little more with baseball. It was a tough decision, but I am excited to focus on baseball full-time.”
Q: When exactly were you looking for in a team when going through the draft process? When teams preach about signability, what specifically made you want to sign?
A: “I was really looking for honesty. I was honest with the teams that talked to me, and I wanted them to be honest in return. It was not specifically about the money, but I wanted to go to an organization that really wanted me to play for them. The Padres, along with the Red Sox, Diamondbacks, and Blue Jays were the teams that showed the greatest interest in me.”
Q: What can fans expect from Brian Adams?
A: “I play aggressive, hard, and I have a lot of speed. I really have enjoyed watching Mike Trout play recently, and I think that we have a lot of similarities in our games.”
Here’s what Baseball America has to say about Adams: “Plus raw power but is still figuring out how to unlock it after playing sparingly at Kentucky…(He) easily has the best strength among the Padres’ speedsters.”
Lastly, I caught up with 2012 TinCaps hitting coach Jacque Jones, who served as one of the hitting coaches during the Padres 2012 Instructional League. Here are his thoughts on Adams:
“Brian Adams is a big raw kid in the mold of Kyle (Gaedele). He’s just now fully turning his attention to baseball. He played football In college. He is a hard worker and quick learner.” 2012 stats (Eugene – 12 games): .321 (9-28), 3 HR, 7 RBI, 4 SB, 1 CS
Corey Adamson
Adamson is a very intriguing prospect. The Australian-born outfielder opened the 2012 season with the TinCaps, but struggled mightily, hitting .111 (9-81) in 29 games.
Corey Adamson on Opening Day 2012.
Adamson was sent to extended spring training on May 14th, and did not make it back to Fort Wayne in 2012. He did play in 66 games with Short-Season A Eugene, and hit .240 with one home run and 24 runs batted in. He had a good .327 on-base percentage and stole 15 bases.
He’s been in the system for a while, having started his professional career in 2009 with the Arizona League Padres, but he’s still young. Adamson will turn 21 on February 23rd, meaning he’s still in the average age range for a Midwest League player.
Adamson received some good news last month when he was named to the 28-man provisional Australian team that will compete in the World Baseball Classic. This, from the Melbourne, Australia, based Herald Sun:
Luke Hughes and leading ABL hitter Corey Adamson, who at 20 is the youngest member of the team, will also contest the sport’s biggest tournament in Taiwan from March 2-19.
The squad features eight former Major Leaguers and two Olympic silver medallists, including Ryan Rowland-Smith, Peter Moylan, Hughes and Chris Oxspring.
Australia will compete in Pool B against Chinese Taipei, South Korea and The Netherlands.
Teams involved in the Classic are generally at full strength, with MLB players’ participation unrestricted.”
Corey also once explained to us in a TinCaps Report Podcast that he didn’t like cricket. His dad was a big-time Australian baseball player, and so Corey got into baseball before anything else. Tony, his father, is an Australian Baseball Hall-of-Famer.
Brandon Alger
Of all players that made the TinCaps roster in 2012, Alger likely received the most attention in the shortest amount of time. The lefty from Leo, Indiana, just 12 miles away from Fort Wayne, was officially added to the TinCaps on September 5th, the first day of playoff action last season.
Alger works against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the Midwest League Championship Series.
On September 4th, the team was at Parkview Field to do a short workout, but every single newspaper and television station in town wanted to talk to the former Indiana Tech Warrior. He spent just two years on the Fort Wayne campus, and put together a pretty good sophomore campaign. In 13 starts last year he went 8-2 with a 2.37 ERA. He struck out 80 batters in 91 innings while issuing just 21 walks and allowing opponents to hit .225 against him. That success continued with the TinCaps.
For as strong a season Fort Wayne had in 2012, one aspect that was lacking was a reliable lefthander out of the bullpen. Robert Eisenbach, who was released on July 27, posted a 5.33 ERA in 25 appearances, striking out 18 and walking 19. He was the only lefty to work out of the ‘pen during the regular season.
Alger’s work during five postseason games was solid: 5G, 1-0, 0.00 ERA, 3.1IP, 4H, 0R, 0ER, 8K, 1BB
I certainly wouldn’t expect him to spend the entire 2013 season here in Fort Wayne, but he could be an asset out of the bullpen, at least to begin the season.
Here’s an interview done by WANE-TV with Alger after he arrived at Parkview Field:
Jeremy Baltz
The New York native (born in Vestal, went to college at St. John’s in Queens), was a late addition to the 2012 roster just like Alger. As a matter of fact, they both were added to the roster the same day.
Jeremy Baltz bats against the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers during the 2012 Midwest League Championship Series.
Although he didn’t get much time to show off his ability with the TinCaps (.133 average in 5 games), he had a stellar collegiate career. Corey Brock of MLB.com has the details:
“Baltz, a 6’3″, 205-pounder, boasts a right-handed power bat that earned him consensus All-American honors as a freshman for the Red Storm in 2010. A first-team All-Big East selection in 2011, Baltz was named MVP of this weekend’s Chapel Hill, N.C. NCAA Baseball Tournament Regional after hitting .400 (4-10) with a home run, two doubles,eight runs, and a .900 slugging percentage in three games. The projected corner outfielder has shown his ability to perform on the big stage before, as he was also named MVP of the Charlottesville Regional as a freshman.
His All-State high school career at Vestal High School in Vestal, N.Y. earned Baltz a pick in the 45th round by the New York Yankees of the 2009 Draft before he headed to St. John’s to post one of the most decorated seasons in school history as a freshman. The 21 year-old showed he can hit with the wood, as well, hitting .329 and being named an All-Star with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod League last summer.”
Baltz had a good showing with the Eugene Emeralds after being drafted. He hit .281 with five home runs and 43 runs batted in nearly a full season of 70 Northwest League games. He also stole 12 bases and was only caught stealing twice.
I think he could end up as a starting corner outfielder for the TinCaps to begin 2013, and be perhaps one of many early-round draft choices on Jose Valentin’s roster.
Cory Bostjancic
Our final player in this opening round of previews comes from California (that’ll be a theme here, folks). Bostjancic, (a name not easily said ten, let alone five, times fast) a 25th round pick by San Diego last June, pitched exclusively out of the bullpen for the rookie-level Arizona League Padres in 2012. The 6’0″, 180 pound righty went 0-2 with a 7.64 ERA. In 17 2/3 innings, he allowed 24 hits, 20 runs (15 earned), walked 13 and struck out nine.
After reading that line, some of you might be scratching your head and thinking, “Why would this guy be on the TinCaps to start the year after struggling at a lower level?” And that would be a fair question to ask. But a small sample size like that is really an inaccurate and insignificant indicator of what a player can become. Matt Wisler blossomed into one of the league’s best pitchers last year and hadn’t even thrown a full inning of Arizona League baseball.
Let’s turn to the Marin (CA) Independent Journal for more on Bostjancic:
“Bostjancic said his fastball has been clocked at 99 mph, but typically is around 94-95 mph. He also features two types of breaking balls and is working to improve both his change-up and a two-seam fastball. After posting a 3.68 ERA at (College of Marin) this season, he said he is eager to see what he can do against professional hitters.
“Throughout high school, you have a chance to look up to the college game,” Bostjancic said. “But honestly, the pro game is where I want to be. But I didn’t know it would really happen until it actually happened.”
Baseball America writes, “(He) opened eyes by throwing 96-98 with heavy life during instructional league.”
It sounds like he could be a weapon for pitching coach Burt Hooton’s bullpen this coming season.
In the lead up to each baseball season, writers around the internet like to rank the 30 MLB teams and their respective farm systems. Last year ESPN.com’s Keith Law ranked San Diego as the number one farm system, but this year rankings across the board have slipped just a bit due to players formerly listed as prospects advancing to the major leagues.
I caught up with John Sickels of MinorLeagueBall.com, who does a yearly ranking of baseball’s farm systems, and this year put the Padres at #6. According to Sickels’ bio, he worked as ESPN.com’s Minor League Baseball analyst from 1996 until 2005. Here is the transcript of our Q&A:
It’s All Relative: What elements (stat/observations/interviews with players or personnel) do you use to evaluate the strength of a farm system?
John Sickels: Well I start from the ground up. I always analyze the players first before trying to judge the overall strength of the system. For the individual player, I look at every piece of information I can get. This includes scouting reports, statistical information, in-person observation whenever possible, video, and talks with other baseball people within and outside of organizations. I try to synthesize all this information in coming to a judgment about how a player could/should develop.
IAR: What is your evaluation of Padres 2013 draft class, especially players like Max Fried, Walker Weickel and Zach Eflin?
JS: Generally speaking, it takes at least four or five years before we know how a draft class turns out. This is especially true with a class like 2012 for the Padres, which was heavy on high school pitching with three of the first four picks. I really like Fried, and both Weickel and Eflin were getting first round buzz at one point, so getting them in the supplemental round could be a real coup. All three of these guys could develop into top-end starters. Of course, pitching is a risky demographic and if you have three good pitching prospects, you’re doing well if you get one actual major league pitcher. It will take time to pan out but the upside with this group is huge.
College hitting was the emphasis otherwise, beginning with Travis Jankowski and Jeremy Baltz. Jankowski’s glove will get him to the majors but scouts have mixed opinions about his bat. Baltz is the opposite, with a strong bat but doubtful glove.
Their strategy was pretty clear: high-upside young pitching, and value-oriented college bats.
IAR: Outside of some of the top names in the system (Gyorko, Hedges), who are some players that impressed you in your evaluation of the farm system?
JS: I’m generally a fan of the way the Padres do things and they have several sleeper prospects I like who don’t get a lot of attention. This is especially true on the pitching side. Kevin Quackenbush, Burch Smith, Matt Andriese, and John Barbato all deserve more press than they get and should prove of value at the major league level. You guys saw how good Matt Wisler was last year; I think he is one of the best pitching prospects in baseball even if most casual fans haven’t heard of him. A scout friend of mine who knows him well thinks Wisler could rank with the elite arms of the minor league game in 2013.
IAR: You wrote, “The list tries to find a balance between everything. Both high-end impact talent and overall depth are considered. I probably consider depth more than some other analysts.” Can you take me through your evaluation process and what it’s like from start to finish for each farm system?
JS: Well, like I said, I start with the individual players. This is part of the process for writing my book each year (the Baseball Prospect Book). I’ll study anywhere between 40 and 50 players in each system, then write reports on somewhere between 36 and 42 (sometimes more in a deep system) of them for the book. Each player gets a grade, which is a blend of future potential and present skill, then I will come up with a ranking for 1-20 in the system. I’ll post these top 20 lists so people can see them at my website MinorLeagueBall.com. When all the players for all the systems are written up, then I can compare the systems more readily and rank the organizations, which is also listed on my website.
Thanks to John for his participation, and thanks to you for reading. I’ll be back next week with the second installment of the 2013 Prospect Previews.
Filed in: Uncategorized The Baseball Shop
Opening Day for the 2013 Minor League Baseball season is about two months away, and with each day that passes I think more and more about baseball. Just a few days ago I received my 2013 Baseball America Prospect Handbook in the mail, and within that tightly-stuffed manila envelope was a shrink-wrapped pack of prospect baseball cards.
Baseball cards. I don’t think I’d opened a pack of those since I was a teenager. My days of baseball card collecting have long since passed, but this simple stack of thinly-sliced cardboard embossed with the images and stats of baseball somebodies brought me back to a hobby that used to take up hours of my time.
I don’t know anything about Dylan Cozens, but his last name says he’ll be a star.
The best, and I mean the best, place for a baseball-obsessed kid like me was a little store in Orleans, Massachusetts. My family vacationed every summer on Cape Cod in the town of Brewster, which sits right on salt-swept shores of Cape Cod Bay. As a part of that two-week stay on the Cape each summer, my mother would always set aside one day for us to ride our bikes the six or seven miles it took to get from Brewster to Orleans. (Keep in mind, this was a big sacrifice for her because it meant we were taking away from time that couldn’t be spent at the beach. Only years later did I realize that I should’ve been more grateful for this.)
At the end of the journey to Orleans was a little store named The Baseball Shop. This was everything that I ever could have dreamed of as a kid. It had jerseys, hats, pennants, stickers, door hangers and the holy grail of a young baseball fan’s life — baseball cards. Hundreds upon hundreds of them in packs, on shelves and even in glass display cases.
“Fifteen dollars?!?”, I thought to myself while rattling the rusted coins and crumpled singles in my pocket. “I’ll have to save up my allowance for the entire year to be able to afford that one.”
I’d tread lightly around the store, making sure not to upset any of the displays in the baseball basilica, stopping to stare at a framed Cal Ripken display on the wall, or flip through the poster display showing off New England baseball heroes of the day like Mo Vaughn, Nomar Garciaparra and Jason Varitek.
I held the Men Behind the Counter at the store in such high regard. They were the classic bifocal-wearing, middle-aged men who wore polo shirts tucked into khaki shorts, with canvas belts and Sperry Top-Siders. If I had a question, I was sure they knew the answer. If I had a question for which they didn’t have an answer, I felt like my hours of scouring the box scores while eating my cereal had finally paid off.
The Baseball Shop was a place where I could add to my collection that already included binders, shoeboxes and cigar boxes full of baseball cards at home. This would be where the highlights of my collection would come from. The shop probably wasn’t much bigger than the inside of a food truck, and so generations of baseball fans would have to shimmy past one another as grandparents and grandkids made their way around the inventory of a Best Buy packed into the size of a beehive.
I’d never come away from the store with much–a San Francisco Giants doorhanger one year, a framed Cal Ripken card another. The doorhanger said something to the effect of, “Don’t bother me. Don’t touch anything. I like my room this way!” I may have been a big baseball fan, but make no mistake that I was still a kid.
It wasn’t so much what I bought from the store that mattered, as much as it was the sentimental value that came along with making that purchase. I’d survived the eternal (four-hour) drive from home in New York to Cape Cod. I’d somehow pedaled myself from Brewster to Orleans and made it to The Baseball Shop for my once-a-year trip to paradise; I’d be damned if I wasn’t going to get something by which to remember my journey. Clinging on to that paper bag that held my fortune as I rode my bike back to Brewster and swerved with excitement, I felt no doubt that I was the luckiest kid on the face of the Earth.
Along with those big-ticket items, I’d get the 99-cent packs of cards that featured the everyday players like Bernard Gilkey or Cliff Floyd. And it was those cards, that held the unknown players within them, that brought me whirling back in time the other night when sitting at my dining room table and, in a way, being a kid again. I was taken back to the enthusiasm, mystery and excitement of baseball and what it holds for us when we’re so young.
The Baseball Shop – Orleans, MA
I haven’t been back to The Baseball Shop in years, but I got the same feeling as being there when I opened the pack of baseball cards at home. I don’t need a bike to get there anymore, but just thinking about making that trip gets my mind’s wheels spinning.
Stay warm and enjoy the Sup–oh, I can’t say that, right? Enjoy the “big game” this weekend, no matter which team you’re rooting for.

Happy February, everyone! Opening Day at Parkview Field for the 2013 season is now just 69 days away, and the TinCaps will begin play in just 62 days when they take on the Great Lakes Loons on April 4th in Midland, Michigan. If you haven’t checked in with us here on the blog in a while, here’s what you’ve missed:
The 400 Club: On Wednesday, January 30th, the TinCaps announced the construction of the 400 Club, a one-of-a-kind group seating area that is going to be built in straightaway center field at Parkview Field.
It’s scheduled to open in late May of this season, and will accommodate groups from 20 to 150 people. The 400 Club is also the first area at Parkview Field to include all-you-can-drink beer and wine, in addition to several different buffet options throughout the game. It will have garage-style doors that will open up for an al fresco environment, and will have air conditioning for those sizzling summer days, too.
MiLB.com features ’12 catcher Austin Hedges: One of the mainstays of Fort Wayne’s 2012 lineup was catcher Austin Hedges, who is one of the top prospects in Minor League Baseball. He draws high praise from Brad Ausmus, who is a special assistant to General Manager Josh Byrnes:
“He was the first amateur I had seen in 25 years, so I was comparing him to Major Leaguers, but he stood out on the field head and shoulders above his peers and the players he was going against. Now that I’ve gotten to know him, the most remarkable thing about Austin is his aptitude for the game. For a catcher out of high school, he has a much better grasp of what’s going on around him than I did at his age,” says Ausmus, himself a prep-to-pro catcher as a 48th-round draftee in 1987. “So I think he’s well ahead of the curve. That being said, he has a thirst for learning more about the game and a work ethic that is going to make him much better quickly.”
Hedges will likely begin 2013 with Advanced-A Lake Elsinore.
Prospect Previews: I announced last week that I’ll be starting a new series, beginning this coming Monday, February 4th, where I’ll give you a preview of the 40 players I anticipate may be on Fort Wayne’s roster for Opening Day. Of course the roster limit is 25, but it’s an inexact science. Over an eight-week stretch, I’ll bring you five players per week.
And now for the podcast…
1:40 – In the parenting corner with Michael, who has twins, we learn about sick babies. But not any type of sick baby. The sick 13-month-old that is teething, but also has a nasal drip, and stomach issues which lead to…well, you know.
5:20 – Do they make baby-profen?
5:40 – Me: When you’re sitting in the recliner (with the baby), what is the signal that the diaper needs to be changed?
Michael: It’s very obvious.
8:00 – Massage talk. We are manly men.
8:35 – I deliver my Week In Review(!), which details the great bat incident of 2013, in which a basketball game I was broadcasting was interrupted many times by a winged mammal. There is both photo and video evidence:
13:00 – I’ve had experience with animals interrupting games before. There was a TinCaps game this summer that was delayed by a rabbit, and another delayed by a duck.
15:00 – Michael recalls that a bat once invaded the Memorial Coliseum and then-pitching coach Mike Harkey had some fun with it in the clubhouse.
18:50 – Our Pop Culture Item of the Week takes us to the Vandelay Industries Hotline (TM) as we ask the question: Is it socially acceptable to throw yourself a birthday party?
21:00 – We tell co-worker Abby Naas that she’s on the Vandelay Industries Hotline and we get, “I don’ know what that means.” She also gave some good insight on throwing oneself a birthday party.
22:50 – Abby claims she is 23 years old. Abby is not 23 years old.
23:00 – Abby says a present is not necessary for an adult birthday party because, “People would normally just bring a bottle of soda…or something.” Well said, Abby.
24:45 – After four other co-workers fail to answer their phones, I declare, “Well, this is officially the worst podcast ever.”
27:00 – I share my stance on birthdays, which I share with Ron Swanson from NBC’s Parks and Recreation:
28:50 – I present Michael with his feast in this episode’s “Odd Food Challenge”:
I bought him six White Castle sliders. Extra onion is free!
I also got Michael an Arnold Palmer to drink because he has created his own drink, the “Michael Limmer”
2/3 water
1/3 Parkview Field Lemonade
31:35 – Michael reveals my treat, fancy smoked oysters (good until July 2015!)
Looks decent so far, right?
There is nothing fancy about this.
32:05 – Me: “Why do they sell these? Doesn’t there have to be market demand for these?” I repeatedly question my will to live while faced with eating this.
34:40 – Michael goes for time, eating the six sliders in three minutes, 40 seconds. A respectable demolition of the fast food.
36:30 – After lots of stalling, I finally bite in to one of the oysters. It is as disgusting as predicted. I wash it down with a “Michael Limmer”. This is gonna be a thing, people.
39:00 – Michael is declared the winner of this week’s challenge. Next we meet–old Valentine’s Day candy!
We’ll be back with you for another podcast on February 15th.
If you’d like to get in touch in the meantime, please email me Couzens@TinCaps.com or tweet me @MikeCouzens.

Will Your Grocery Bills Go Up Due to Flooding in the Midwest?; The Future of Flying: What You Need to Know; Foreclosure Frenzies; The Debate About Energy
Aired June 21, 2008 - 13:00 ET
FREDRICKA WHITFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: Wildfires shut down sections of the scenic Highway 1 near Watsonville yesterday. The fast-burning wildfires consumed more than a dozen homes and bars and forced the evacuation of more than 2,000 people. In the Midwest, the worst appears to be over along the swollen Mississippi River. But the damage is done. An Iowa official says the floods may have caused some $3 billion in crop losses. Wiping out 10 percent of the state corn and 20 percent of the soybean crop. At least 54 people have been killed by monsoon floods and landslides in eastern India. Flooding is so severe helicopters and ferry boats are being used to get food and drinking water to the thousands of villagers. Speed boats, they are being used to get some people to higher ground. In southern Afghanistan, roadside bombs today killed five soldiers serving under the U.S. and NATO coalition. At least 32 troops, including 12 from the U.S., have been killed this month alone at the coalition battles a resurgent Taliban. And after a last-minute delay, a man convicted of killing his ex- girlfriend's parents was executed last night in South Carolina. James Earl Reed was the first person in nearly a year to be executed by electric chair in the U.S. Reed has been on death row for 12 years now. The execution was delayed when a federal judge issued a temporary stay but an appeals court overturned it just a few hours later. Painful memories in Wisconsin. The house where six young people were killed in a shooting rampage last year was torn down today. The deaths at the hands of a jealous off-duty sheriff's deputy stunned the small community. The site will now be used for a memorial. We will update the top stories at the bottom of the hour. Now time for YOUR MONEY. ALI VELSHI, CNN HOST: Welcome to YOUR MONEY. We look at how the news of the week affects your bottom line. I'm Ali Velshi. Devastating floods hit the Midwest with up to 20 percent of Iowa's corn crops destroyed. We are going the find out if that means that your grocery bills will jump even higher this summer. Also, with airlines ready to charge for everything from bags to soda, we are going to take a look at the future of flying. What do you need to know before booking your next trip? And foreclosures, up more than 150 percent in the last we are, 73,000 families losing their homes to bank repossessions in May alone. Greg Hunter joins us with an eye-opening look at the little guy fighting back in the foreclosure frenzy. But first the race for the White House includes the usual campaign rhetoric about the need to wean America off its dependence on foreign oil. However, with gas prices at record highs, there is a new sense of urgency entering the debate about energy between John McCain and Barack Obama. CNN's MONEY.com's Poppy Harlow joins us now with a look at where the candidates stand when it comes to their energy policy. You have been doing this energy fix for us here at CNN. We are drilling down, no pun intended, get are getting more specific on energy policies. POPPY HARLOW, CNNMONEY.COM: Very specific especially now that we have the two presumptive nominees. They are not on the same page. Sky- high oil prices mean Americans are paying big bucks for energy. John McCain laid out his energy policy this week and he drew some clear distinctions of Barack Obama from voters to consider. The short term, Senator McCain wanted to give drivers a break from the federal gas tax this summer. He is focused on producing more oil here in the U.S. In other words, tackling the supply and demand problem by increasing supply. In addition to easing restrictions on new refineries, McCain wants to lift the current ban on offshore oil drilling. The energy policy, though, is his design to increase this country's use of nuclear power. McCain insists it is safe and efficient and has said 100 nuclear plants was his ultimate goal with 45 new nuclear reactors in place by the year 2030. On the other hand, Barack Obama opposes nuclear power. In fact, there is not a whole lot he agrees with Senator McCain on when it comes to energy policy. Obama called the gas tax holiday a gimmick or just a band-aid fix and he says offshore drilling of oil would have a negaeligible effect on gas prices. Instead Obama is focused on doubling fuel economy standards to 50 miles per gallon by 2026. Both candidates have big goals for our country. VELSHI: John McCain, whether you like it or not, has staked out a position on this offshore drilling. But it is not entirely clear. It is entirely clear it is not going to have any immediate effect on gas or oil prices. These are long-term solutions. We are probably starting to think more about that as Americans. HARLOW: Certainly thinking about long-term solutions. Now I think for both the candidates they are looking down the road because certainly what we are doing right now, depending a lot outside of America for our oil, that's why it is not working. They want a long term fix, not a band-aid. VELSHI: Let's continue to talk about this. The kind of thing that our viewers want to talk about. You want to talk about. I will bring in Stephen Schork, he is the editor of the "Schork Report" and he is an energy commodities expert. Stephen, good to see you. Many people wake up in the morning to your overnight reports on what is going to happen to the price of oil on a daily basis. It seems that for all of the things we hear about that bring the price of oil down, a little bit, we are still sustaining these very high levels and that means record gas prices. Is there anything the candidates can do that's going to have an effect on oil and gas prices now or within the next six months or a year? STEPHEN SCHORK, EDITOR, "SHORK REPORT:" No. Not in the next six months or the year. All of the potential solutions are long term. And that makes sense. We got into this predicament over the last 30 years. This was a problem 30 years in the making and it will be a solution that will be 10, 15 years before we see any sort of -- the difference with the candidates is that John McCain is trying to offer a little bit of coherency to the market. He's trying to address an issue on the supply side. Because, again, a lot of the speculation in this market is driving prices higher because there is strength between global spare capacity and demand. We have watched over the last two generations demand; not only in the United States, but around the world continue to grow. Yet we sat on the sidelines the last 30 years twiddling our thumbs, whistling in the dark, hoping the supply situation was going to take care of itself. You know what? It is not. We have high prices today. They are going to remain. VELSHI: If you think it is a supply problem, meaning we need to find more oil and there is more oil out there, the John McCain solution holds some water. The Democrats and Barack Obama have been talking more about a destruction of demand scenario. Creating a situation where we just depend less on oil. Which one of these makes more sense? I'm speaking from the perspective of our viewer who is going to try to make a decision about who on to vote for in November. Which one is going to make more sense for the long-term price of oil and gas? SCHORK: Well, if you want to continue to pay higher prices that are how we get the demand. Go with the Obama. He is telling us that high prices are here to stay. We do have a demand destruction. But you have to address this issue on both sides of the equation about supply and demand. Demand is taking care of itself. We are pulling back and we are conserving and driving less here in the United States, if you look at the strikes that are happening all over Europe right now, there's clearly demand destruction in Europe as we now believe there is demand destruction in the Far East. We are taking care of that one side of the issue. But we also must address the supply issue. And what Obama is offering is no solution on this supply side. At least with McCain's plan we are going to address the supply side. That's no silver bullet. It is no quick fix. Again, we will continue the demand side. You have to -- you have to love these to high prices. Because these high prices are, again, telling demand which is for the environment means less -- on the Democratic side you are -- we have the issue with demand destruction, higher prices. We don't see any issue with how we are going to address our supply needs going forward. HARLOW: You know Stephen, let's tack about the millions and millions of profits that these oil companies are making, Exxonmobil record profits over $40 billion last year. Obama says it is obscene and we should have a windfall profit tax on these companies. Is that going to help at all for me at the gas station? SCHORK: Absolutely not. I mean, here in Philadelphia when -- when Obama was running for the primary, he didn't call it a tax. He called it a windfall profit penalty. My goodness. This is the United States. When did making a profit all of a sudden become illegal? On this issue the Democrats are clearly stating that they are determined not to be outdone by the Republicans when it comes to energy profit. Yeah, I know $40 billion profit. That's a big number. That's a 40 with nine zeros behind it. Have you looked at what their revenues were? In the second quarter Exxon made $10 billion. They did that on revenue of $116 billion. Which means Exxon only made 10 cents on the dollar. There's nothing egregious. VELSHI: They just happened to sell a lot of the oil. Stephen I'm going to get on a plane and go up to northern Alberta, into the oil sands. In Northern Alberta where they say there's more oil available there than Saudi Arabia. What's the thing we have to look for there? Is that part of our future in terms of consuming oil? SCHORK: Absolutely. This was -- what allowed the western oil companies to thumb their nose when Chavez when he went ahead and nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela. They pulled out of the project because they could lean on western Canada and as you alluded to estimates now have enough oil up in Canada as there is the entire peninsula. Now, this is a hard to, get to refine oil. It is essentially synthetic oil. So, therefore, it requires a higher price. You need oil prices at least $50 to $60 to justify to do that. At $140, look, they are going like gangbusters and it is within our future, in our grasp. VELSHI: Get your e-mail available, I might need some questions answered while I'm up there. Stephen Schork, always a pleasure to talk to you. Stephen Schork is a publisher of the "Schork Report." Poppy Harlow does out energy fix for us and she will be back a little later in the show. Because she had a great conversation with the CEO of Southwest Airlines. And nickel and diming us all. You want to stay tuned for more from Poppy later on. Coming up, whether or not you live in an area that has been hit by those recent floods we were talking about earlier, you are going to feel the effects. What the floods mean to your food prices, coming up next on YOUR MONEY. Stay with us. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELSHI: Chances are those Midwest floods will have an impact our life over the next few months even if you don't live in the flood zone. CNN's senior correspondent Allan Chernoff spent the last week knee deep in the water covering so many of those farms in Iowa where the crops have been destroyed. At this point, some of those homes are under water. ALLAN CHERNOFF, SENIOR CORRESPONDENT: It is awful to see this. Farmers who have spent their lives planting, killing, tending all those crops. Now they are looking at the lakes where their corn and soybeans once grew. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) CHERNOFF (voice-over): Farmer Richard Siegle's home is in ten feet of water. RICHARD SIEGLE, FARMER: It is unbelievable. Yes. Unbelievable. Never thought this would ever, ever happen. CHERNOFF: He has lived and farmed this land in southeastern Iowa for 47 years until the Iowa River broke through a levee on Saturday. All of Richard and Thelma's possessions are in their son's basement, garage, and a semi trailer in his front yard. The flood zone here encompasses 21-square miles, including more than 100 farms. We are not even close to either river the Mississippi or the -- more than two miles in that direction. The Iowa River, seven miles down that way. Kirk Siegle, who runs the farm now, had invested more than $1 million planting and fertilizing corn and soybean. KIRK SIEGLE, FARMER: That's like losing your job and not knowing when you are going to get back. CHRENOFF: Kirk and his dad emptied their green silos to save last year's harvest. But now they can't sell it because of the Mississippi shut down for shipping. So processors are not buying. Its revenue Kirk desperately needs to pay off bills, bank loans, and a loan that helped him buy this brand-new tractor which now sits idle. K. SIEGLE: I still have to feed the family and things continue to -- we have to have gas for our vehicles and electricity for my house. Education expenses for my kids. CHERNOFF: A financial squeeze so tight that Kirk says this winter he might have to replace some of the income he was counting on his farm to provide. (END VIDEOTAPE) CHERNOFF: There's no way a job will replace the income that the Siegle family lost. Kirk Siegle is estimating the has family lost $1.1 million in revenue as a result of this flooding. VELSHI: You were out there for the floods. You were describing the effect it had on soybean and corn. Iowa is the central place for this. If you don't think you have much of a relationship to soybean and corn outside of Iowa, you really do. CHERNOFF: Everybody does. Even if you don't eat corn on the cob, you don't eat or you don't drink soy milk, it is in so many products. Even if you don't eat -- astounding. Soybeans are use for ink, for adhesives. There are just so many applications for all of these products. So really is going to affect all of us. The prices will be pressured upward. VELSHI: We have seen record prices now for corn. We were supposed to have a bumper crop of corn this year. Now so much of it is lost. CHERNOFF: And that's the reason that farmers had planted so much and that they had anticipated getting record revenues, record profits. That's why the Siegles bought that incredible huge tractor. I can tell you how big the tractor is. It would fill the entire studio. $122,000, it is sitting up on their high land. The tractor is OK. It is not doing anything. VELSHI: Now let's bring in Stewart Ramsey he is the senior economist with Global. Let's talk about this a bit. We have discussed the likely impact of this. We have seen the price of the corn and soybean affecting our economy and the economies around the world over the course of the last year. What's the incremental effect? How much more is this going to be hit because of the flooding? STEWART RAMSEY, GLOBAL INSIGHTS: I guess it is hard to say yet. We don't know exactly how the crop is going to come out of the floods. I mean, there's the impact like the farmers that you just described that are devastated. Probably they have no crop this year. But then there's the fringe areas where the crops actually have been reduced. But not eliminated. So until we get the crop in the bi and, you know, a long ways off from that, we won't know the full effect. You can -- pretty well count on rising prices. At least high prices which we already have high prices for the next 12 months or so. You know, for the -- for the consume consumer, you know, that will permeate more in terms of the cost of meat and other food products and you mentioned some of the interesting places that corn and soybeans show up like the adhesives on the back of rugs and whatnot. 3 We have been creative about where we can use some of these commodities. I think those price effects will be somewhat less rather than the actual food price effects which will con to come for probably the next year. CHERNOFF: Stewart, with regard to the food prices, a lot of people would think immediately would see prices rise. But isn't it the fact that a lot of farmers are going to have to slaughter tremendous number of their livestock because of those high feed costs? RAMSEY: Well, I mean, that's exactly right. You know, when we talk about corn and corn that is being devastated in Iowa and down through the Midwest, this is not really the corn that you and I eat. This is more so the corn that we feed the livestock or make in ethanol or so many other things, high fructose, corn syrup and similar with soybeans. Not too many of us directly consume soybeans. We may use soybean oil in salad dressing or mayonnaise but -- soybean meal the primary product coming out of production of soybeans, protein for livestock feed. That effect in the short run is basically hog and chicken producers, cattle producers. They may have to slaughter their animals earlier because they are losing too much money because of the high feed costs. VELSHI: You mentioned ethanol is continuing to struggle with record high gas prices and ethanol is a large percentage of gas now in some places higher. What's the direct effect on gas prices? RAMSEY: You said large percentage. Ethanol still is only, you know, four to five, maybe 10 percent the most depending on regionally where we are talking about. You know, actually ethanol, gas prices right now are being driven by high oil prices, not high corn prices the way I see it. What is happening is ethanol margins are being trimmed. There's no doubt about that, $7 corn, $8 corn, depending on where we are headed, that's going to impact ethanol, producers as well. VELSHI: Thank you very much, Stewart. Stewart Ramsey from -- he is a senior economist, Global Insights. Allan Chernoff thank you, great work in the Midwest during the floods. Coming up next, banks have been hard hit by the credit crises but their jacking up one of their fees to help pay for it. We will tell thank you ones that affect you. Next on YOUR MONEY, stay with us. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELSHI: All right. Jennifer Westhoven joins us now as she does every week. The banks are taking a big hit; we know this for the last year or so. There is one more way now that it has worked its way back to the consumer. Tell us about this. JENNIFER WESTHOVEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You really have to watch out for this. When people lose their homes basically when they have problems with their mortgages banks end up with a big hole in their balance sheet and they are looking to make it up out of your pocket. They will hit you even harder now if you accidentally overdraw your bank account. Washington Mutual Bank of America, both recently raised their overdraft fees in many states. You can take a look at the increase there. They also changed the rules. If you do make a mistake say you charge something you don't realize you are overdrawn, they could hit you multiple times the same day. You keep going out and using the debit cards you keep getting these $30 plus fees on a $7 lunch can happen seven times in a day. That's infuriating. VELSHI: You don't know that this is happening. They are going to continue to make that money if you don't do something to control that. WESTHOVEN: Yes. This is something that the management -- the memos saying that they don't want -- want to make sure they don't refund your money. If you call up screaming they may not do anything about it. They take in more than $17 billion a year in these fees. The banks depend on that. VELSHI: $17 billion. WESTHOVEN: Yes. VELSHI: That sounds like the amount of money we spend on bottled water in this country. WESTHOVEN: It is the same amount of money that we spent last year on bottled water. VELSHI: Ridiculous. I don't know how much you are spending on it because I'm spending nothing on bottled water. WESTHOVEN: I used to buy a lot of bottled water. It is easy, taste goods. Feels like it is healthy. You about these days that's a no-no for many reasons. If have you a hard "time" buying gas, bottled water will be one of the first luxuries to go. The old friends of the faucet is making a comeback. Sales of bottled water slowed to the low nest ten years. Sales of those water filter faucets have been up. If you think about how much oil it takes to make the bottles, ship them all over the world and end up in landfills -- VELSHI: And you can't reuse the bottles. Some people like to freeze. WESTHOVEN: And there are some concerns about the chemicals that are in them. So in many ways it is becoming a no-no to go around with a bottle of water. VELSHI: Big thing for me in a restaurant, insist on tap water. Some of my friends -- I didn't realize that I was as imposing as I am but others of my friends have said that they know not to drink bottled water. Other news out this week. Hundreds of arrests having to do with mortgage fraud. WESTHOVEN: Yeah. You said some of the first criminal charges that we have seen connected to the housing market crises. Hitting Wall Street this week. Two former Bear Stearns Hedge Fund managers were indicted on conspiracy and fraud counts. Their funds invested heavily in these risky mortgages. When they collapsed along with the subprime market it cost the investors nearly $2 billion and then basically set off the chain reaction that led to Bear Stearns' downfall. In a separate case the justice department says more than 400 people have been indicted. This is since March. In a federal crackdown on mortgage fraud. In this case, we are not talking about big Wall Street guys; we are talking about mostly small-time realtors and mortgage brokers who are accused of lying about income or assets, forging documents, inflated appraisals. But it is very interesting that we are starting to see charges, indictments, arrests. VELSHI: One is people who are swindling average homeowners getting mortgages. The other one people charged with misleading the wealthy investors. It shows you how big this mortgage situation is. WESTHOVEN: While it may not help people if you are losing your home, it may put in place the kind of preventative measures so it does not happen again. VELSHI: Jennifer, good to see you. Thank you so much for that. Coming up on YOUR MONEY, the major airlines are striking deals. What's that mean for you? What you need to know before you book your next trip. Stay tuned. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) WHITFIELD: I'm Fredricka Whitfield in Atlanta. Happening right no, the worst appears to be over along the swollen Mississippi Rivers. The damage is done. An Iowa official says the floods may have caused $3 billion dollars in crop losses, wiping out 10 percent of the state's corn plants and 20 percent of soybeans. California firefighters say they have the upper hand on fast- burning wildfires that shut down sections of Highway 1 near Watsonville yesterday. The fighters torched more than a dozen homes and barns and forced the evacuation of more than 2,000 people. At least 54 people have been killed by monsoon floods and landslides in eastern India. The flooding is so severe; helicopters and ferry boats are being used to get food and drinking water to thousands of villagers. Nigerian media reports militants have blown up an oil pipeline run by Chevron. Chevron says the breached Nigeria pipeline has forced it to shut down some of its oil production. The latest attack coming only hours after Shell said it was forced to reduce output after a raid on one of its offshore facilities. Coming up at the top of the hour, Christiane Amanpour reports notes from North Korea. Now back to more of YOUR MONEY. VELSHI: We have been taking a look at how the news of the week affects your wallet. And in a case of CNNMONEY.com's Poppy Harlow, she has been looking at energy matters. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than -- obviously at the gas pump but it really worked its way through to travel and the airlines. HARLOW: My goodness. The legacy carriers like American, Continental and Delta; they are bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars every year. They are trying to stay in business and not file for Chapter 11. But Southwest Airlines, that discount carrier, they are making money and they are not cutting jobs. They are not adding on the surcharges. They are not charging folks for the first checked bag. I had a chance to sit down with the CEO of Southwest this week on "Issue #1." He said they hedged oil at $61 a barrel. They are doing well right now. VELSHI: If there's probably nothing more irritating then the manner in which some of the airlines have done this. On one side you have to feel for them. They are paying higher fuel costs and they are trying to survive and pass it on. There has been a real discomfort amongst our viewers and any of us who travel about the way it is handled it. Rick Seaney is the CEO of Faircompare.com, he is with us to have a discussion about air travel and what's going on. There has been a big story again this week, Rick, about Continental and United. They are announcing a deal -- like a cooperation agreement. It is not a merger. But it is going to -- what effect will it have on travelers? RICK SEANEY, CEO, FARECOMPARE.COM: Well in the short term nothing. This kind of alliance is very popular with many of the legacy airlines. It is going to extend their region to Asia and into Europe. Right now, Continental is a member of called Sky Team which includes Delta Northwest. With those two airlines merging, they are the odd person out. So now they are hooking up with United. They will get antitrust immunity as part of this deal. So they will be able to work on pricing together and basically extend their reach. Really, this isn't going to show up at any level until 2009, and probably late in 2009. VELSHI: Rick, Poppy is with us because she talked to the CEO of Southwest Airlines. One of the issues that you are here to talk to us about is what does the future air travel look like given these increases that we continue to see in air fares if we see oil prices staying as high as they are and gasoline prices staying as they are? Clearly things are going to shift. SEANEY: Things will shift. There is going to basically less flights, less choice, less destinations. Flights are going to be fuller. With the new baggage fees, I personally think that there will be huge delays at TSA and on airplanes. Airlines are fighting flight auctions out of Newark which basically is supposed to help congestion. The bottom line is that we are going to be paying higher prices and if you want to get a decent ticket you are going to have to change your buying habits. HARLOW: Rick, let's get to that. The price that we are all paying for these airline tickets. Talk to us about how much more prices are this summer compared to last summer and also if there is a cheap ticket deal out there, how can people find it? SEANEY: Basically, if you looked the year over year numbers, it depends really on what city you live in. If you live in a city that has a Southwest Airlines in it, your prices may be only up 7 to 12 percent like a city like San Francisco that has Virgin America. A city like Dallas where I'm sitting today, prices are up over 45 percent. Just since the beginning of the year. So it just depends what city you live in and the smaller cities, some of those are up 80 to 100 percent. The bottom line is that where you sit makes a big difference on how much you are going to pay. And really what you have to do nowadays to get a decent ticket is change your behavior. VELSHI: Tell us how to do that. Quickly, how we -- what we do now. Somebody is watching this and want to travel and they still want to have a trip. What's your best advice for them? SEANEY: Got to start shopping four months in advance. Definitely most people shop about a month out, little over a month out. Start shopping earlier. You have to be flexible. Basically, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday are the best days and cheapest days to travel, less crowded and cheaper. And when you see those prices, I know a lot of you at work, even during the workday, are shopping for airline tickets. Buy that ticket when you see a good price. Don't go home, don't ask your spouse. Buy that ticket when you see it. Everybody else is shopping and will buy that ticket before. VELSHI: Or you can wake up to me on "AMERICAN MORNING" many days telling you guess what, there has been another airfare increase because Rick Seaney told me so. Rick good to see you. Rick Seaney is the CEO of Faircompare.com. Great discussion that you had with the CEO of Southwest Airlines and people can go to Money.com and see that. HARLOW: They can see the whole interview and find out ways to save and find out what's the future of airline travel in this country. We all need to fly. We have to find a way to afford it. VELSHI: It is worth looking at. Because Southwest is one of the few airlines that's getting it right. Thanks Poppy. Coming up, Greg Hunter has a look at how some people are actually able to fight back against foreclosures. What the banks don't want you to know about one option that could be available to you. Stay with us to hear that. Your are watching YOUR MONEY on CNN. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELSHI: While the banks and the Fed and even Congress figure out what to do about this foreclosure crisis Americans continue to get hit hard. Last month alone more than 70,000 families lost their homes. Foreclosures jumped a staggering 158 percent year over year. Can the little guy fight back? Greg Hunter thinks so. GREG HUNTER, CNN INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT: I think they can. In foreclosure, the bank has to show it owns your house. What most people don't know is almost half of the time the banks don't have their paperwork to prove it in court. In many cases, it ends up lost or destroyed. It is a national problem that the banks would love to keep quiet because knowing that could be your best defense in fighting foreclosure. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) HUNTER (voice over): Like many home owners, Jacci O'Brien is behind on her mortgage. She bought her house near Clearwater, Florida, in 2004. But in 2007, fell behind on her payments following a death in the family. JACCI O'BRIEN, HOMEOWNER: I returned to England. I was getting support of family members and things like this. When I came back to America, I was in default with my mortgage. I was behind with my payments. HUNTER: She says she tried several occasions to catch up on her payment with her bank Wachovia. She showed us a photo copy of one catch up payment for $8,500. But the bank wouldn't accept and is fore closuring on her property. They wouldn't take your payments? O'BRIEN: No. They wouldn't take my payments. That was it. No more. They didn't want to talk to me. HUNTER: But in foreclosure she discovered the bank filed a motion for lost instruments. In other words, the bank lost or destroyed the actual proof that it owns her house. O'BRIEN: I think the note is being sold so many times and they have become very sloppy with their paperwork. It could be in a dumpster for all I know. HUNTER: A bank losing a mortgage note may sound like a rare occurrence but a recent study by law professor Katherine Porter found it happens nearly half the time. KATHERINE M. PORTER, ASSOC. PROFESSOR, UNIV. OF IOWA: What I found is banks failed to attach a copy of the promissory note that's the evidence of the consumer owes the debt in 40 percent of the situation. Four out of ten consumers were being asked by their bank to make payments on a mortgage but the bank didn't provide the evidence to establish what those debts were. HUNTER: Last November, a federal court ruled against Deutsche Bank and stopped them from fore closuring on 14 houses until they could produce the note. Those foreclosures are still in limbo. CHRIS HOYER, ATTORNEY: If your case ends up in court don't let the mortgage companies off easy. Make them produce the note. HUNTER: Chris Hoyer is a Tampa attorney that's on the Internet with a free Website that helps people fight foreclosure. He thinks people should fight for a better deal. HOYER: If you are about to lose your home at least make them produce the note. Make them prove first that they have the note and the IOU and the person standing in the court is the person authorized by the owner to take your home. HUNTER: That's just what Jacci O'Brien is planning to do. O'BRIEN: I would like to know who actually owns my mortgage. I would like to know who I can deal with. I'm going make them produce the note. HUNTR: She says the bank is pressing on with foreclosure. And won't agree on a catch up payment. In addition she says -- they keep tacking on fees. O'BRIEN: The only they will do it, if I pay them something like $20,000 in fees and things. They want me to pay all these extra fees that they have thrown in on top. HUNTER: Katherine Porter says excessive and unnecessary fees are also a national trend. PORTER: The most disturbing thing we saw was that most banks simply don't tell consumers what these fees are for. We saw thousands of dollars of charges that were labeled as other or miscellaneous. So consume verse no way to know if, in fact, those fees are legitimate. HUNTER: We contacted Wachovia to ask about the case and they said due to customer privacy concerns, we cannot give specifics into pending customer actions. But we will work with customers through the delinquency and foreclosure process to keep them in their homes. O'Brien says if the bank can't find her note, they should renegotiate a new mortgage without the fees and payments she can afford. O'BRIEN: I want to pay -- I'm not looking for a free ride. I want to pay my mortgage. I want to get my life back on track. (END VIDEOTAPE) HUNTER: O'Brien goes to court Monday to find out how long she will stay in her house. Attorney Chris Hoyer says if you do get a foreclosure notice, you should get an attorney or at the very least find out when and where your foreclosure court date is and shows up. Do not just abandon your property and move out. For more on this, logon to CNNmoney.com. VELSHI: Why doesn't the judge just start out with something like this and says can somebody provide me with the proof of ownership of the house? HUNTER: I think that's a great idea. A lot of times people move out and say a foreclosure note, let's go get a u-haul and move out. The banks go to court; they say hey, the property is abandoned. We want to retitle the note in our name and re-establish the note in our name. There's nobody there to contest it. Contest it and that's where the problem starts. The bank should first off say listen, where is the paperwork? Where is your work and proof you own the house? VELSHI: Greg Hunter, thank you very much for that. Coming up next on YOUR MONEY, would we will tell you how your blog could jeopardize your job. You don't know to miss this. Stay with us on YOUR MONEY. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELSHI: I'm not a blogger necessarily. I have a bit of a blog on CNN but it is very direct. Marian Webster calls a blog an online personal journal. If you have a blog you may want to stop and think about how it could affect your career. How to make sure you don't get deuced. Deuced is another term you may not know, Internet lingo. Getting fired from your job because you write something on a blog. Where did this name come from? INES FERRE, CNN EN ESPANOL CORRESPONDENT: From somebody that had a Website called Deuce.com. It is still there. It is a worker who got fired from her job because he had talked about her co-workers in her blog. Since then, that term, when you get deuced, that means you get fired for something that you posted on your blog about work. Now, since then, more and more of -- more and more cases of people getting reprimanded or dismissed from work for blogging. I spoke with Sheryl Spanier a career consultant and asked her about the potential of dangers of blogging while you are at work. Listen to this. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) SHERYL SPANIER, SHERYL SPAINER & CO: If you are actually using the business servers to be blogging, on personal sites of interests, personal interests or even critique of your industry, you are potentially exposing yourself to human resources, legal, public relations coming after you and saying stop. (END VIDEO CLIP) FERRE: Certainly don't want them coming after you. But Ali not all blogs are of the same nature. We broke it down to three scenarios. First, what if you blog from work and using work servers, work time, and about your industry, about your work, and you have to be really careful. I mean, if you don't get paid to blog, most people are saying do not blog from work. That's not a good idea. Come into privacy issues, productivity issues. If you are doing that you might also -- VELSHI: Even if they are not mad at you. Are we paying you to have a blog? FERRE: You put in the question, are you shopping online? Are you iming? If you are blogging outside of work, and you might be blogging about your industry or about your work, OK, that's also something that is really touchy. I mean, for some people, it can -- it can make them into experts about their industry. They are talking about the industry, et cetera, CEO's blogs. Young people blog. A lot of people are blogging. Also, you want to be careful about what you say about your company and a lot of people are saying, you know, just blog anonymously if you are going do that. There are cases where you know, even if you have blogged anonymously about your industry -- VELSHI: They know exactly who that was. Sounds like the only safe thing is to do blogging about your own interests or your personal life or your hobbies or something you are an expert at outside of company time. Not on company equipment. FERRE: Right. Exactly. Or if your company knows about it, I mean a lot of companies know that their employees have blogs and just say OK, we will monitor it and we don't want you talking about our customers, specifics, et cetera. If you are blogging about hobbies, I mean, usually fine. You can blog about stuff -- VELSHI: You have to be careful about that because if you are identifying yourself and blog being your hobby and gets connected with your company, you know, make sure your hobbies are accessible. Ines thank you very much. Don't go anywhere. There is this movement afoot that will get you to be paid overtime even when you are not in your office. We are going to check that out next. But first, this week's "Right on Your Money." (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) VELSHI (voice over): Record high gas prices, falling home values, and the lowest level of consumer confidence since 1980 are all signs of a possible recession. Personal finance expert Jonathon Clemens says follow these steps to keep yourself recession-proof. JONATHON CLEMENS: First you want to cumulate cash. If you don't have a lot of money in the bank, money market fund, this is time to accumulate it. Two, get your debts under control. Pay off those credit cards debts. Think twice before trading up to a bigger home. Three, keep funding the 401(k) plan. Put enough to get your full employer match. Even if you lose your job and even if you end up cashing out that 401(k) plan and pay tax penalties, you will come out ahead. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELSHI: We get paid for the work we do while we are in the office. What about all that time we put in outside of the office on our BlackBerries, or our cell phones or our iPhones? Should we get paid for that, too? CNN's Richard Roth investigates. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) RICHARD ROTH, CNN SR. U.N. CORRESPONDENT (voice over): The BlackBerry is a constant companion. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I use it from the second I wake up to the second I go to bed. ROTH: The device can be a drag. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This thing is like a ball and chain. ROTH: Wired up workers say they can't escape from the job after hours. Now they want to get paid for it. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I definitely think that we should be compensated. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: People should be compensated what they are asking to do outside of work. ROTH: Writers and producers at ABC News demanded payment for after-work usage and reached a settlement with management. Elsewhere, people keep multitasking while the office is closed. VALORIE BURTON, LIFE COACH: For some people they feel like they are missing out on something. For others, there is a genuine fear that they will appear not to be a team player. ROTH: Attorneys are sending a message to businesses, prepare for legal action. JEFFREY SCHLOSSBERG, ATTORNEY: Employers don't really perceive that there is a problem or issue with employees using their BlackBerries outside of work. They don't see it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Expecting a message any mint. ROTH: Finance Andrew is separated from his black berry only when taking midday naps. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Turn off your cell phone or BlackBerry. ROTH: He does not expect his employees to be messaging at night. ANDREW TSUNIS, BLACKBERRY USER: Compensated for using their BlackBerry in off hours, no, I don't think that's a good idea. ROTH: Maybe brute force can eliminate the problem. It is tough to get rid of those. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Holy crap. ROTH: World's strongest man in the United States cannot destroy this BlackBerry. Will companies beat us up when it comes to exhausted workers? Richard Roth, CNN, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) VELSHI: I tried to destroy mine and it has not worked. I have done a lot of talking this hour, it is time to hear from you. Things that you wrote to us this week. Burt writes, "I very much enjoy watching YOUR MONEY show every weekend but I have several problems with economists saying there is no doubt we are in a recession. I have always thought that the definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP. We have not even had one quarter of negative GDP. Are we in an economic downturn? Absolutely, yes. Are we in a recession? No." Bert, thanks for the e-mail. You are wrong. They changed the definition a long time ago to something about sustained decline in the economy by various measures over a number of months. I try to get that clear here on CNN. But I get you. We have no proof that we are in a recession one way or another. Another viewer R.S. writes, "I wonder sometimes what the experts really know about what most average and modest income people, especially with children, really experience financially. I can tell you from my viewpoint that wages are stagnant while costs are up. That means I either borrow to maintain my standard of living or I cut back. The future seems dark for our nation. I hope my kids will be OK. I will do what I can to teach them responsibility." You are right. We want to bring up on this network that what real people pay is very different from the measures that the economy often gives you. We know you are hurting out there. I hope you are wrong about the future being dark. Think there is good hope for us. Lynn from Gainesville, Florida, by the way offers a different view. She says, "I don't understand all the whining and crying over airline ticket prices. If a person drove from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles and back, which is roughly about 5,000 miles, and got 20 mpg, they would have to buy 250 gallons of gasoline. Gas is up about a dollar from last year, so they would pay $250 more for the trip by car this year than last. Round trip airline tickets haven't increased by $250. No wonder the airlines are hurting. Stop complaining about a $20 increase in tickets or a $15 baggage charge." Lynn, the beauty of this place is we're going to read your e-mail even if I disagree with you on that one. It's a whole lot more than that the airlines have been gouging us for. But I do get your point, some of it is out of their hands. Thank you for writing to us and thank you for disagreeing with us from time to time. It does make us think what we report to you. Thank you for joining us for this edition of YOUR MONEY, we'll see you back here next week Saturday at 1:00 and Sunday at 3:00. See you then.
