PRESORTEDSTD
US POSTAGEPAID
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CAPERMIT NO. 438
¢50
The Huntington Beach CityCouncil voted to cap the prop-erty the tax the city collects to
pay for public safety employees' re-tirement benefits.Beginning many years ago, the city
collects a penny and a half on every$100 of assessed property value andcould until this recent vote collect upto almost 5 cents.This tax mechnaism(property tax)
brings the city about $4 million a year.It is earmarked to help pay for thelegal contractual obligation the cityhas with the city's retirement obliga-tions. Recently, enough signatureswere recently gathered to bring the en-tire issue to a vote in November. If
passed the city would then no longercollect the one and half cents and haveto take the $4+ million from othersources...since the bill has to bepaid...it is a fixed cost. The theory put forth by the propo-
nents of the initiative say removingthe tax will "force" employee groupsto pay their full benefit contributionsand prevent the city council from rais-ing the tax on property owners at any-time, none of which are guaranteed.However, repealing the tax does not
automatically result in the public em-ployees paying their "fair share" andthey did, projections indicate the citywill still come up short.Council members recently sug-
gested placing acan't raise it.Here the
theory is evenif the ballotimitative fails...that penny and ahalf amount will becapped.Ed Note: Let's wait and
see. Seems like having tocut the already strappedbudget another $4 millionis a dangerous thing to do atthis time...without a solid planon how to replace it or, in fact, whatfurther local cuts in remaining publicservices would result.

#1 position is always a treat to the favorites in these claiming races. Performancein the stretch unknown. No Utterance available. No Line available yet. No line -tooearly.
Native born, Irish Sweeps bred horse familiar with The Curragh ... blood line resultsin a competitive run. unpredictable finish -this horse is all heart. Originally Trainedat D&S Farms - discipline and grooming give this challenger great promise andlong term race success. May need blinkers to keep focused...changed post positionsince last race. No Utterance available.. Good post position but long race! MorningLine 2 to 1.
Late entry. This Stallion might be late to start but has strong finish. Lots of experi-ence on this course. Wears the Green, has Senior Trainers...watch for some bumpand impedence...if this one gets the lead -will keep the lead. Good performance asa Mudder -but track expected to be dry and fast. Trainers / Breeders CommunityFarms. Even money.
Has not run on Municipal tracks, popular in the paddock and among senior staff.Power horse with potential to run well. No history to go by...good disposition...wellbred... shutter to think.
Popular, outstanding Philly. This Mare is predicted to have a strong finish. Hastrained with others. Mares have their own unique behaviors. Can be unpre-dictable...and can be work horses. Watch for some bump and impedence. Goodperformance as a Mudder -but track expected to be dry and fast. Trainer / BreederCook/ Connie Farms. Even Money.

Has been well groomed, runs in professional circles.Most experienced in Charity Outings...first money -purse race. Morning line says boxthis one with a favorite or two. Include in your Trifecta... could put you in the winner'scircle. Has most experienced trainer in this field...could make difference by being anindependent straight runner. No blinders - sees the whole track -no distractions.
No stranger to the Stables and Paddocks. Now, has experience on this track. Sec-ond time out. Learns fast. Has to come from the outside...but that's what goodhorses are trained to do. Read up on this one...more stats in next program.
New entry in these Sweeps. Has been around other courses with lots of profes-sional experience.This entry could teach. Seems to get along with the other entriesand understands needs to be competitive but need to get along. No history... playyour hunch.
Last but certainly not least. Has surprised some with performance with other posi-tions and is definitely a Tea-totaler when it comes to hard training, daily workoutsand fan base. Well acclimated to these track conditions, handlers are serious localmen and women on a goal of win, place or show.

When a older friend of mine was a young boy,his father had one of the first telephones inthier neighborhood.... He spoke of the pol-
ished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiverhung on the side of the box. He was too little to reachthe telephone, but used to listen with fascination whenhis mother talked to it. Then he discovered that somewhere inside the won-
derful device lived an amazing person. Her name was"Information Please" and there was nothing she did notknow. Information Please could supply anyone's num-ber and the correct time. His personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle
came one day while his mother was visiting a neighbor.Amusing himself at the tool bench in the basement, hewhacked his finger with a hammer, the pain was terri-ble, but there seemed no point in crying because therewas no one home to give sympathy. He walked around the house sucking his throbbing
finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone!Quickly, he ran for the footstool in the parlor anddragged it to the landing. Climbing up, he unhookedthe receiver in the parlor and held it to his ear. "Information, please" he said into the mouth piece
just above his head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into his
ear. "Information." "I hurt my finger..."He wailed into the phone, the
tears came readily enough now that he had an audi-ence. "Isn't your mother home?" came the question. "Nobody's home but me," he blubbered. "Are you bleeding?" the voice asked. "No," he replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer
and it hurts." "Can you open the icebox?" she asked. he said he
could. "Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your
finger," said the voice... After that, he called "Information Please" for every-
thing.. he asked her for help with his geography, andshe told him where Philadelphia was. She helped himwith his math. She told him his pet chipmunk that he had caught in
the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts.. Then, there was the time Petey, his pet canary, died..
He called, “Information Please," and told her the sadstory. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say
to soothe a child. But he was not consoled. He askedher, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully andbring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap offeathers on the bottom of a cage?" She must have sensed his deep concern, for she said
quietly, " Wayne , always remember that there are otherworlds to sing in." Somehow he felt better. Another day he was on the telephone, "Information
Please." "Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How
do I spell fix?" He asked. All this took place in a small town in the Pacific
Northwest. When he was nine years old, they movedacross the country to Boston . He missed his friendvery much."Information Please" belonged in that old wooden
box back home and he somehow never thought of try-ing the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall.As he grew into his teens, the memories of those child-hood conversations never really left him. Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity he would
recall the serene sense of security he had then. He ap-preciated now how patient, understanding, and kindshe was to have spent her time on a little boy. A few years later, on his way west to college, his
plane put down in Seattle... he had about a half-houror so between planes. He spent 15 minutes or so on thephone with his sister, who lived there now. Then with-out thinking what he was doing, he dialed his home-town operator and said, "Information Please." Miraculously, he heard the small, clear voice I knew
so well. "Information." He hadn't planned this, but he heard himself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell fix?" There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken
answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now." He laughed, "So it's really you," he said. "I wonder
if you have any idea how much you meant to me dur-ing that time." I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your
calls meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward
to your calls." He told her how often he had thought of her over the
years and asked if he could call her again when hecame back to visit his sister. “Please do", she said. "Just ask for Sally."
Three months later he was back in Seattle .. A dif-ferent voice answered,
"Information."He asked for Sally. "Are you a friend?" she said. "Yes, a very old friend," he answered. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, “She said. "Sally
had been working part time the last few years becauseshe was sick. She died five weeks ago." Before he could hang up, she said, "Wait a minute,
did you say your name was Wayne ?" "Yes." he an-swered. "Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read it to you." The note said, "Tell him there are other worlds to
sing in. He'll know what I mean." He thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally
meant. Never underestimate the impression you may make
on others.. Whose life have you touched today? Can you help lift someone on eagle's wings? May you find the joy and peace you long for? Life is a journey... NOT a guided tour. I loved this story and just had to pass it on. I hope you enjoy it too.

"PHONE ON THE WALL" - It’s GREAT !
PLEASE VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6, 2012 - PLEASE
One day awoman's
husband died,and on thatclear, coldmorning, in thewarmth oftheir bedroom,the wife wasstruck with the
pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate
together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "justone minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used
up and goes away, never to return before we can saygood-bye, or say "I love you."So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix
it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.This is true for marriage... And old cars... And chil-
dren with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, andaging parents and grandparents. We keep them becausethey are worth it, because we are worth it.Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved
away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are justsome things that make us happy, no matter what.Life is important, like people we know who are spe-
cial. And so, we keep them close!Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your
friends know you love them? The important thing is tolet every one of your friends know you love them, evenif you think they don't love you back.Most important, for gosh darn sake…just in case I’m
gone tomorrow, please, please, please vote for that otherguy…Mitt…if you want some real change and hope…see that’s what friends are for…or is that against…

Helping HomelessSucceed
More than 8,000 people came to the in-augural “Ribs, Pigs and WatermelonSummer Festival and Pro BBQ Com-
petition” to support a program that changespeoples’ lives by bringing the homeless off thestreets and helping them become self-sufficient.“My Smokin’ Grillfriend” from Bakersfieldwas selected Grand Champion from among 25competitors in the recent Kansas City BarbequeSociety contest held in the Westminster MallParking Lot.You could feel the energy, positive vibes, en-
tertainment, carnival games and delicious foodtasting at the event for the worthwhile cause,which has never been in more demand. “Ourgoal is to put us out of business,” said Bob Mur-phy of Fountain Valley, the General Managerof American Family Housing (AFH). “Butwe’ve never been busier.”Their motto is, “From Homeless to Hope to
Home.” “Giving the homeless a home, changes
their lives completely,” said Sara Dodd, a CaseManager for the group that has assisted morethan 30,000 homeless since 1985.There are 5 main programs, which offer sup-
port to the homeless, who apply to get into theprogram:-Transitional Housing for Chronically
Homeless-Transitional Housing for Families (West-
minster and Garden Grove)-Transitional Housing for Single Women
with Children (Santa Ana)-Permanent Supportive Housing for Families
with a Disability (Westminster and HuntingtonBeach)-Affordable Housing (San Bernardino, Or-
ange and Los Angeles Counties)Jim Miller of Huntington Beach, who
worked in aerospace and founded “Shelter forthe Homeless” in 1985 (that became AmericanFamily Housing), said the program teaches
clients about “Mandatory Savings.” “Oncethey leave us in a year or so, they’ve learnedhow to save $5,000-$7,000 in a Trust Fund,” hesaid. “We teach them how to budget, how tohelp themselves and their families, how to raisetheir self-esteem, think positive, have faith andfind jobs.”Arlyne Ochoa, a Case Manager and Job
Coach, encourages clients ranging from anaerospace executive, who recently lost his job,home and family, to a single mother, who hadbeen abused, and her four kids. We’re trying tohelp the former executive find another job andthe mother to get promoted,” Ochoa said.“What we really need to help us in the jobsearches is for someone to donate laptop com-puters.”If you would like to donate a laptop computer
or if your company has job openings, pleasecontact Arlyne at [email protected]. She saidthey also are in need of companies or individu-als to donate Scholarship Funds to help low in-come adults pay their rent.“AFH, its caring staff and many volunteers
are making such a positive difference in thesevery trying times,” said former HuntingtonBeach Mayor Peter Green, who serves on theboard, along with his wife, former HB MayorCathy Green, and their son, Tom. “They’re tak-ing thousands of homeless off the streets, givingthem hope, a home and a future. It’s about cre-ating self-supporting members of society. Youcan change the World, one person at a time!”Many of the clients served, end up becoming
volunteers to help others.Courtney Lutkus, Development Manager for
AFH, said it’s all about connecting our clientswith a network of support so they can gain theirindependence and succeed. You can help themby volunteering or donating (canned food,household items, office supplies or money).Some of their company supporters have beenFrancisco’s Automotive, AlliedBarton SecurityServices, Smithfield, Williams Insurance Bro-kers, ShockTop Belgian White Ale, BarbequesGalore, Homegrown Cattle Company, TraderJoes, Smart & Final, Target, Costco Wholesale,United Healthcare, Huntington Beach WholeFoods and others. Service organizations, suchas The Huntington Beach Host Lions Club,support AFH as well.Do you know that you can make a differ-
ence? To find out more, visit the websiteafhusa.org, call American Family Housing at714-897-3221 or write them at 15161 JacksonSt., Midway City, CA 92655

Kookies Beachwear, for 37 years an HB landmark, is no longer in the shopping center at Warnerand Pacific Coast Highway. The legendary store, packed to the brim with unusual hats, shirts,wetsuits and everything else you need for the beach,had to leave as the center gets renovated, accordingto Kookie's owner, Stephen Pavlick. "The center'sgoing in a different direction." Pavlick has plans ofselling his items online and possibly at a local farm-ers market. He's also looking around the area for an-other possible store site. I remember shopping at"the locals favorite" many times. It was a joy talkingto the Pavlick family, which operated it since 1975.It's sad to see a famous landmark gone from its well-known location. While I was looking through thewindow at the empty store, several other regularcustomers came up and were upset it was nolonger there. Stay tuned to find more informa-tion on where Kookies new location will be.

In the last 20 years a phenomenon hasgrown to enormous proportions. Startedby 4 football forecasters in the early 60's
who wanted to create a way to "closer cov-erage of daily happenings in professionalfootball", it now has nearly 35 million par-ticipants each year who put nearly $500million on the line and is estimated that $3billion is added to the economy by this phe-
nomenon. It is so popular that an exemption was made to the"Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" to con-tinue to allow it. Yes, I am talking about Fantasy Football.Here are some tips based on a standard 12 team
format and standard scoring as follows:QB: 1 point for each 50 yards passing, 3 points
for every passing TD, 6 points for every rushingTD and a 5 point bonus for going over 250 yardspassing.RB/WR/TE: 1 point for each 20 yards rush-
ing/receiving, 6 points for every TD rushing orreceiving and a 5 point bonus for going over 100yards rushing or receiving.K: 1 point for each PAT, 3 points for every FG
and a 2 point bonus for FG's over 50 yards.D: 10 points for keeping your opponent at 0
points, 5 points for keeping your opponent under14 points, 6 points for every special teams or de-fensive TD, 2 points for every fumble recovery or interceptionand 1 point for each sack.The first thing you are going to do is pick the draft order. If
you pick 1-6, that's a no brainer...choose to draft in one of thefirst six slots. If you draw 7-12, choose to draw as close to the12 slot that is available. The 12 slot gets to make the 12th andthe 13th pick as picks go back down the list in reverse order atthe end of each round..The most important number to keep in your head is the num-
ber 16. You want as many starters (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K,1DT) on your team that can consistently get you 16 points moreweeks than not. Here are some players (by position) that are likely to get you
that 16 points at least 50% of the time:QB's: Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Stafford,
Cam Newton and Eli Manning with a "yet to be seen" nod toPeyton Manning, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck.RB's: Arian Foster, Ray Rice, Lesean McCoy, Marshawn
Lynch, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson and Darren McFaddenwith a "yet to be seen" nod to Maurice Jones Drew and ChrisJohnson.WR's: Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson,
Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, Wes Welker andHakeem Nicks with a "yet to be seen" nod to Vincent Jackson.TE's: Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates and
Vernon Davis with a "yet to be seen" nod to Jermaine Greshamand Coby Fleener.The first round is the most important pick you'll make all day.
Pick the absolute best player available no matter if it's a QB,RB or WR. If you pick a QB in the first round then pick thebest available RB or WR (whichever is ranked highest to theirposition). Example... if there is a 6th rank RB and a 9th rankWR, pick the RB. If you pick a RB in the second round makesure you pick up the best WR available in the third round. Youwant to end the third round with a QB, RB and WR.I would pick at TE as early as the 4th round. If you see
TE's start to go early, make sure you get one of those 4 listedabove. If all 4 go before you have a chance to draft them,then it is more important to get a second RB and second WRbefore drafting a TE.There are many first tier Kickers and Defense is so volatile
that it is best to fill those slots in late rounds.As always, if you have anyquestions, comments or con-
cerns, please addressthem to [email protected].
God bless youand God blessthe UnitedStates ofAmerica.
Just recently I became aware ofthe generous $170 millionoffer President Obama made to
the farmers of Iowa while cam-paigning in Iowa! Obama in-formed the farmers that thegovernment would rescue themfrom the unprecedented droughtthat has been hindering crops and
subsequently putting animals at risk of starvation.In a pre-emptive move to stave off disaster, he will
buy 170 million worth of lamb, beef,pork, and catfish and freeze it until hegets around to using it. The Depart-ment of Defense will get some as wellas some food banks according toObama. President Obama also“strongly encouraged” the vendorsworking with government institutionsto buy livestock at his Super DroughtSale. So farmers will get governmentmoney and money from those doingbusiness with the government, too. Isit just me or does this feel reminiscentof an old Chicago style gangster
movie? Obama claims “it is money we would havespent anyway” in referencing government food as-sistance programs. I think Obama has gotten a littleahead of himself. Food assistance from the Ameri-can government comes in the form of cash benefitsformerly known as stamps. Americans are not yetstanding in Government food lines but I guess he hasa clearer picture of the future of America than wedo. One statement he made is true…it is certainlymoney he would have spent anyway!Speaking of the need for Government food lines,
if Obama and the Department of Defense and alltheir friends buy up what is left of the starving live-stock, and the crops around the country continue todemise in record numbers, what will be left is likelyto be outrageously inflated food and of course thefood lines. Americans continue to slide deeper intothe abyss of govern-ment dependency.Score one for Obama.Then there was the
unilateral decisionObama made with anexecutive order and hisversion of a dream act.Overnight Obamaagreed to offer legalresidency to anyoneunder the age of 30,without a violent crim-inal record, with a highschool diploma, orGED, or some voca-tional training, or if they showed a reflection in amirror. One little catch: the recipients of this giftmust have been brought to this country illegally bytheir parents, or a kidnapper, or they involuntarilybrought themselves. Darn! That will only qualifyabout 1,850,000 new voters. I bet Obama is glad thefederal government is suing those ten states tryingto enforce that pesky voter I.D. law. Score two forObama.Finally there is the old “I believe in traditional
marriage between a man and a woman” Obama andthe new “I really need to get re-elected so I am fullyembracing gay marriage and so will every Americancitizen or I will find ways to punish you” Obama.This bold move has empowered supporters to brandthose that are not like-minded hate-mongers. Thereis no room for religion in socialism unless of courseyou are something other than a Christian, Jew, Mor-mon, or Catholic. Score three for Obama.I do hope you like lamb, beef, pork and catfish.

Bridge understanding. Harmonize views. Promote altruism. Try best to be honest.Try best to recognize mistakes. Allow safe refuge for community during troubled times.Promote a community of decency. Act as mentors to the youth.
I am compassionate fiscal conservative. We should build on what the seniors in ourcommunity passed on to us. I will work to ensure Public safety and economic safetyfor all in our community.
Actions speak louder than words. I offer you a 12 year record of fighting as a fiscalconservative, environment supporter and seniors' advocate. We cannot afford acity council whose answer is tax and spend.
We have a growing population and decline in city services. I CARE about this cityand its citizens. I’m running for city council because I want to work to do what is bestfor both.
HB has been my family’s home for five generations and I have a passion for makingmy hometown a better place to live. I am running to be the voice of our residents atcity hall.
I am a strong advocate for public safety, transparent government, the environment,and managed growth. Principled, experienced, knowledgeable, dependable and com-mitted. A vote for me is a vote for the safety and prosperity of Huntington Beach.
I will continue to bring the cost of Public Services in line with the private sector andreinvest the savings back into City Services and Public Safety. www.devindwyer.org
As a Planning Commissioner for the past 4 years and a business owner in HuntingtonBeach for over 35 years, I understand what is required to plan for the future to main-tain our quality of life.
I will use common sense to help lead! I will place the taxpayer first in every decision!I will help create a team to lead this community forward!
Council needs educated trained members to make proper decisions (Bachelors En-gineering, Masters Business). Honesty and Integrity are utmost importance, (I holdgovernment clearances demanding highest standards), I want limited govt and to pro-tect citizens freedoms.
Former school teacher, current law professor, committed to top tier schools. Formerprosecutor, enhanced public safety. Current lawyer (private judge/mediator), under-stand risk management, conflicti issues. We need balance of strong commercialgrowth preserve the essense of HB.
If we want to remain a full service city we have to adopt better fiscal policies. I willwork for our residents to make sure they have a voice in how their taxes are spent.

ELECTION EDITION Their Political Focus - In Their Words
The hatching of eggs.. . . . .For example:-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;-those of the canary in 14 days;-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;-those of the mallard in 35 days;-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42
days.(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number
of days in a week!)Wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The
four legs of this great beast all bend forward in thesame direction. No other quadruped is so made.Someone planned that this animal would have a
huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this rea-son it was given four fulcrums so that it can risefrom the ground easily.The horse rises from the ground on its two frontlegs first. A cow rises from the ground with its twohind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all Hisworks of creation!More wisdom is revealed in the arrangementof sections and segments, as well as in thenumber of grains.-Each watermelon has an even number of
stripes on the rind.-Each orange has an even number of segments.-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number ofgrains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowestrow an even number of bananas, and each row
decreases by one, so that one row has an evennumber and the next row an odd number.-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-
six to the minute in all kinds of weather.All grains are found in even numbers on the
stalks, and someone specified thirty fold,sixty fold, and a hundred fold all even num-bers.Flowers bloom at certain specified
times during the day. Linnaeus, thegreat botanist, once said that if he hada conservatory containing the rightkind of soil, moisture and temper-ature, he could tell the time ofday or night by the flowers thatwere open and those thatwere closed!Hmmm. I wonder

Four area residents - Dick Hansen, JerryMeras, Kevin Gjersten and Rod Loran - willride their bikes 2,000 miles over 21 days
from Huntington Beach, Cal., back to Woodburyto raise money for Feed My Starving Children.Patrick Johnson, Sports Editor, Woodbury Bul-
letin brings us a story of three Huntington Bach
residents with a passion, a mission and some im-pressive goals.Forty years ago, Dick Hansen and a group of
friends rode bicycles from Lacrosse, Wis., to Dal-las, Tex. – going 1,500 miles in 15 days. This week,he’ll take a similar journey.Hansen and three other area residents - Jerry
Meras, Kevin Gjersten andRod Loran - will ride theirbikes 2,000 miles over 21days from Huntington Beach,Cal., back to Woodbury toraise money for Feed MyStarving Children. Beginningon Aug. 11, the Miles 4 Mealsteam will begin cycling, ap-proximately 100 miles perday, until reaching Woodburyon Saturday, Sept. 1.“As I was getting prepared
for this I realized it was 40years ago that I was doing this
too. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity and I’m getting a second opportunity
to try this,” said Hanson, 60. “I like the organizationas well. I’ve been involved with Feed My StarvingChildren the past two years. It’s one of the best or-ganizations I’ve seen. The impact they have aroundthe world is huge.”According to the United Nations humanitarian
program UNICEF, 18,000 children die from star-vation or from hunger-related illnesses every day.Miles 4 Meals, a ministry of Woodbury’s FiveOaks Church, is hoping to raise $110,000 to pro-duce 500,000 meals for Feed My Starving Chil-dren. The meals would feed 1,370 children everyday for a full year.Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Chris-
tian organization. Volunteers hand pack rice- or po-tato-based meals specifically formulated formalnourished children. FMSC meals are distrib-uted in nearly 70 countries through missionarypartnerships at orphanages, schools, clinics,refugee camps and malnourishment centers.“Feed My Starving Children’s goal this year is to
pack 155,000,000 meals,” Hansen said. “That’swhat we’re going to be a part of. We’re just a frac-tion of their goal.”

Say it ‘aint so, Bud. Tell us, unequivocally,that the Rocket is destined to flame out inthe relative obscurity of the Independent
Minor Leagues, not on a Major League mound.When Roger Clemens signed a contract to pitch
for the Atlantic League’s Sugar Land Skeeters,the blogosphere was repletewith speculation that it wasan audition for a return toMLB. Clemens tried todouse those flames by say-ing he was merely intenton having fun, nothingmore. But with Clemens,who has engaged in almostas many comebacks as apunch-drunk fighter, thereis always an end game. Areturn to MLB had to be in the back - if not theforefront - of his mind, especially if he pitchedwell. And by all accounts, he did just that. Re-sponding to a reporter’s question after the game,an ecstatic Clemens said he would never close thedoor on MLB. Having thrown his last MLB pitch five years
ago, Roger will appear on the Hall of Fame ballotfor the first time this winter. However, should he
pitch in the Major Leagues before the end of theseason, Clemens would postpone his HOF eligi-bility for another five years. Would an additionalfive-year wait temper the voters’ perception ofhim as a steroid cheat? Who knows? But a delaywould serve to separate Clemens, arguably the
greatest pitcher inthe modern era,from another per-ceived steroidcheat, BarryBonds, the book-end to Clemens asthis era’s greatesthitter, who willalso be on thisyear’s ballot.At least two MLB
clubs, the Kansas City Royals and Houston As-tros, had scouts in attendance to monitorClemens’ recent performance. The Rocketpitched for the Astros from 2004-06 and is saidto be golfing buddies with new owner Jim Crane.The Astros have the worst record and, more im-portantly as it relates to Clemens, the fourth worstattendance in MLB this season. They are desper-ate to create some buzz heading into what may
be the most significant off-season in the team’shistory. Not only must they rebuild a moribundfranchise, but the team is gearing up for a changeof leagues next season, from the NL Central tothe AL West. The move was imposed on Craneby MLB as a condition of his purchase in an ef-fort to balance the leagues. Clemens in an Astros uniform for a September
start would provide a shot in the arm for the fansand the organization. It’s also something thatshould never happen. No way should Clemensbe allowed to suit up and provide a side showduring the most important time of the baseballseason. Bud Selig prides himself in doing whatis in the best interest of baseball. This is an op-portunity to prove that.

Traumatic Brain Injuries
People who are injured in an accident can suffer manydifferent kinds of injuries. Among the most serious,as well as the hardest to diagnose and treat, are so-
called traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), sometimes alsoknow as “closed-head trauma.” TBIs send more then400,000 people to the hospital for treatment each year,three-quarters of whom are males between the agesof 15 and 34. This group is over-represented be-cause of the lifestyle that many of the accidentvictims lead: riding motorcycles with helmet,participating in dangerous sports, drinking toomuch, and getting into car accidents. Al-though the majority of these injuries aremoderate to mild, even a minor TBI cancause the victim to suffer serious problem.Difficulty Treating TBIsThe problem with treating TBIs is that
man doctors are not adequately trainedin the neuroscience of head injuriesand are unable to properly diagnosethe injury when they encounter one.Although most doctors are capable of rec-ognizing serious TBIs (such as those thatput a victim in a coma), the less debilitatingTBIs are more difficult to diagnose becausethere are often few outward signs of the in-ternal injury. This misunder-standing of the symptoms ofmoderate TBIs has a number ofserious negative consequences,both medical and legal.Many people who suffer such
TBIs do not receive the appropriate treatment. The long-termeffects of a TBI can include many and varied symptoms,often related to brain functions, such as seizures, head-aches,dizziness, and problems with memory and concentration.However, TBIs can cause other symptoms not commonly as-
sociated with the brain, including loss ofmotors control, fatigue depres-
sion, speech disorders, anxi-ety, sexual dysfunction,and a short temper, aswell as an increasedchance of getting lostor becoming agi-tated.Given the variety
of symptoms andthe difficulty somedoctors have con-necting them to TBI,treatment is often de-layed or not provided at
all, and the patient contin-ues to suffer, often unaware
of the cause of the problems.Even when a TBI victim hasbeen correctly diagnosed, the
variety of symp-toms can maketreatment expen-sive and difficult.Legal ObstaclesLegally, it is often difficult to prove that symptoms suffered
by a TBI victim are directly related to the TBI. Because doc-tors can be slow to diagnose the connection, proving that aTBI has caused the symptoms that a person describes to theinjury in court can be difficult.Compounding the problem of the doctor’s slow diagnosis,
many of the people who serve on juries have trouble believingthat a head injury can cause so many different problems, notall of which are related to the victim’s brain function. All ofthese factors make it more difficult for a TBI victims to wina full recovery of damages for the injury.Lessons LearnedSeveral lessons can be drawn from this. If you have suf-
fered a TBI, even a minor one, and are suffering fromsymptoms that you never experienced before being injured,stay on top of your health care providers. While not allsymptoms that a person may suffer from are necessarilycause by a TBI, the range of symptoms is great and it maytake some time to get a correct diagnosis.If you are involved in a lawsuit where you or a loved one
suffered a TBI, be sure to retain qualified counsel to helpyou prepare and present what canbe a difficult and complex case.This way you can help ensurethat you are fully compensatedfor all of the injuries that you oryours have suffered.

Dear Earth-Talk:What exactly
is the federal govern-ment’s Recreational Trails
Program and is it true that it’s on the chopping block?~ Randy Caldwell, Lyme, NH
The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a federalassistance program that helps states pay for the devel-opment and maintenance of recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both non-motorized and motorizedrecreational trail uses. The Congressionally mandatedprogram was in jeopardy due to budget cuts, but itsbackers in Congress announced this past July that RTPwould be retained to the tune of $85 million per year aspart of the new surface transportation agreement lawcalled MAP-21.Minnesota Dem-ocratic SenatorAmy Klobucharwas instrumentalin the retention ofRTP by introduc-ing it as anamendment toMAP-21 as astand-alone pro-gram with itsown dedicatedfunding.Overall, MAP-
21 allocates $105billion for fiscalyears 2013 and2014 to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, main-tain infrastructure and improve the overall efficiency ofhighway transportation. RTP is one of several provi-sions of MAP-21 that bolster transit, bike and pedestrianprograms across the country.
Funding for the RTP portion of MAP-21 comesfrom a portion of the motor fuel excise tax collectedacross the country from non-highway recreational fueluse in snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, off-highwaymotorcycles and off-highway light trucks, and comesout of the Federal Highway Trust Fund. Half of theRTP funds are distributed equally among all 50 states,and half are distributed in proportion to the estimatedamount of non-highway recreational fuel use in eachstate. Individual states are responsible for administer-ing their own RTP monies and soliciting and selectingqualifying projects.That said, the use of RTP funding is restricted to
maintenance and restoration of existing trails, develop-ment and rehabilitation of trailside and trailhead facili-ties and trail linkages, purchase and lease of trail
construction andma i n t e n a n c eequipment, con-struction of newtrails, acquisitionof easements orproperty fortrails, and assess-ment of trail con-ditions foraccessibility andmain tenance .RTP fundingmay not go to-ward propertycondemnation(eminent do-main), construc-
tion of new trails for motorized use on federallymanaged public lands or for facilitating motorized ac-cess on otherwise non-motorized trails.States must allocate 30 percent of their RTP funding
for motorized trail use, 30 percent for non-motorized
use, and the remaining 40 percent for so-called “di-verse” (motorized and non-motorized) trail use. Projectsmay satisfy two categories at the same time, givingstates some flexibility in how to allocate their share ofthe RTP pie. States can use up to five percent of theirfunds to disseminate related publications and operateeducational programs to promote safety and environ-mental protection related to trails.Trail lovers across the country are thrilled that Con-
gress extended RTP, which began in 2005 with a $60million allocation and was increased each of the follow-ing years until it plateaued at $85 million in 2009. Thecontinuation of the $85 million allocation was also goodnews to those who feared that if it wasn’t cut entirely itwould be scaled back significantly. With new fundingfor the next two years, Americans can look forward tothe creation of many new trails and continued mainte-nance of existing ones.

David White, a wine writer, is the founderand editor of Terroirist.com. His columns arehoused at Wines.com, the fastest growing wineportal on the Internet.
Last week, nearly 400 wine writ-ers gathered in Portland, Ore-gon, for the fifth annual Wine
Bloggers' Conference.The event opened with a keynote
speech from Randall Grahm, the legendary vintner be-hind Bonny Doon Vineyard, who urged attendees to
"support originality andstrangeness, two fea-tures that the wine busi-ness, especially in theNew World, desperatelyneeds."It'd be hard to ignore
the fact that Grahm wasurging the audience toembrace more wine-makers like himself.Grahm rose to fame
in the 1980s thanks tohis originality -- he wasamong the first Ameri-can winemakers to em-brace Rhone varietieslike Syrah andGrenache. And Grahm
is proudly strange. For most of his career, he was bestknown for his flamboyant and irreverent marketing cam-paigns. Six years ago, he famously decided to cast asidehis three biggest wine brands in order to focus on small-production wines made with minimal intervention.Such originality and strangeness should be applauded.
And fortunately, more and more winemakers are follow-ing in Grahm's footsteps. For some, this means introducing Americans to ob-
scure grapes. Consider Red Tail Ridge Winery on Seneca Lake in
New York. Like most producers in the Finger Lakes, RedTail Ridge makes a number of different Rieslings. But it
also produces varieties like Teroldego, a red wine thathails from northeast Italy, and Blaufrankisch, Austria'ssignature red wine.Or look at Chateau O'Brien in the Blue Ridge Moun-
tains of northern Virginia. Its flagship wine is a Tannat,a grape that's typically associated with Uruguay. On a re-cent visit to the winery, I was extremely impressed by itsPetit Manseng, even though the variety is historicallyused in southwest France as an unremarkable blendinggrape.Chateau O'Brien and Red Tail Ridge aren't alone.
Across the country, countless producers are introducingconsumers to unfamiliar grapes.For other winemakers, originality and strangeness
means jettisoning modern winemaking techniques andmimicking the producers of yesteryear.Just think about the arsenal of tools today's winemak-
ers can employ. On the vineyard, viticulturists can ensure that their
vines receive the perfect amount of water through irri-gation. With chemical fertilizers, grape growers canmaintain textbook levels of soil nutrients. By using pes-ticides and herbicides, growers can protect their grapesfrom fungi and invasive weeds. In the cellar, winemakers can manipulate their wines
in a number of ways. Adding sugar just before fermen-tation can raise alcohol; using a specialized filtration sys-tem can lower it. Winemakers can make a wine seemfresher by adding tartaric acid. Aging wine in oak barrelsis expensive; using oak chips saves money and time.Adding a small amount of grape juice concentrate to awine can mask vegetal aromas.These practices aren't necessarily bad -- many are crit-
ical in the production of affordable, consistent, commer-cial wine. But they make it difficult for a wine to express
a sense of place. That"sense of place" -- or ter-roir -- is what makeswine special. It's whytwo wines made fromadjacent vineyards cantaste distinctively differ-ent from each other.The pursuit of terroir
inspires numerous winemakers to produce wine as ifthey're living in ancient times. For longtime Californiaproducer Steve Edmunds, who, like Randall Grahm, isknown for his focus on Rhone varieties, this makes per-fect sense."Winemaking isn't Rocket Science," he explains on
his website. "It's an ancient, relatively straightforwardprocess that should yield, in any wine, a precise expres-sion of the vineyard and the season that produced it."Even big wineries have started to move in this direc-
tion. Since 2007, Sonoma's Benziger Family Winery haspursued "the highest level of natural farming appropri-ate" for each of its vineyards, not solely because of en-vironmental concerns, but because the Benziger familybelieves such practices help produce more honest, au-thentic wine.As Grahm finished his speech in Portland, he urged
the audience to "speak up on behalf . . . of those who areinnovating new styles, or preserving something pre-cious." Every year, it seems as if an increasing numberof American winemakers are doing just that. It's a devel-opment worth celebrating.David White, a wine writer, is the founder and editor

to your chil-dren and/orgrandchil-dren!The year
is 1910, overone hundred
years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:
• The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.• Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only.
• Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.• Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.• There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of pavedroads.• The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.• The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!• The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.The average US worker made between $200 and $400 peryear.• A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 peryear, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian • Between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanicalengineer about $5,000 per year.• More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME.• Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDU-CATION! Instead, they attended so-called medicalschools, many of which were condemned in the press ANDthe government as 'substandard.'• Sugar cost four cents a pound.• Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.• Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.• Most women only washed their hair once a month, andused Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.• Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people fromentering into their country for any reason.• The Five leading causes of death were:

Study: 3 in 4 U.S. Adults Believe IN-Car Technology
Is Too Distracting
Peter Bigelow, AOL Auto is no starnger tohi tech...but makes his point here that per-haps automakers have to slow down on
some interactive gadgets... "In recent years, au-
tomakers have rushed to introduce all sorts oftechnology that keeps drivers connected to theirmobile devices, cell phones, email accounts andmusic while they're on the road. Maybe it's time
they pauseand recon-sider.Y o u n g
drivers, to-ward whommuch of thatin-car con-nectivity isgeared, aren'tas interestedin driving asmuch as pre-vious gener-a t i o n s ,according tomany new
studies. And now a study released Wednesdaysays more than 3 of 4 adult U.S. car owners arewary of all that new technology.Seventy-six percent of the 2,634 adults sur-
veyed by Harris Interactive believe in-car tech-nologies are too distracting and dangerous. Morethan half, 55 percent, say automakers have takentechnology too far."The fear of technology distraction seems to
outweigh the other perceived benefits of havingin-car connectivity options," said Mike Chad-sey, a vice president of Harris Interactive. "Carmakers should take note. Depending on thegeneration of their target market, in-car connec-tivity can have influence on the buying deci-sion, but too much of a good thing may just betoo much."Polling split along generational lines. At 39 per-
cent, Baby Boomers find staying connected leastimportant, while 58 percent of 18-to-35-year-oldssay it's important."
Interest in connectivity splits along generational lines, according to poll
Reaching across the South West...the Colorado Springs Gazette brings tells us how twohundredths of a second meant the fulfillment of an 18-year record quest for one driver
and disgust for another...and how Huntington each, Ca gets the spotlight..."Funny that such a tiny margin – essentially the blink of an eye – would decide a Pikes
Peak International Hill Climb that dragged into the evening because of crashes and delaysso that the final 15 competitors raced a shortened course.Amid the commotion that included a burned-out engine for defending champion and
record-holder Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, emerged one of the race’s best finishes in its90-year history, the first year that Pikes Peak Highway was fully paved.Rhys Millen blazed up the mountain in 9 minutes, 46.16 seconds just 10 spots after
Frenchmen Romain Dumas set a shortlived record time of 9:46.18.For Millen, whose father, Rod Millen, held the mountain’s speed record from 1994
through 1997, it was en emotional triumph. For 18 years he had chased that record, attimes running $1 million cars that he owned.The record finally came in a year when his sponsors did not provide a top ride and he
instead drove a production car.“This is just unbelievable,” Millen said. “We just competed against the best in the world
and beat them.”
While Millen raised his hands in jubilation when the times were read; Dumas droppedhis head in disappointment and anger.Dumas was livid that the race was organized by class instead of overall time. Because
it was set up as it was, hedrove in rainier conditionsthan many drivers – includingMillen. He would have pre-ferred the top drivers to go insuccession and in similar con-ditions, particularly earlier inthe day before the mountainwas covered in rain and ice.Worth Noting: The overall
course record was the 9:51.278set last year by Japan’sNobuhiro Tajima in winningthe Unlimited Crown. He hadan electric car in 2012."

If you just financed or refinanced yourhome only a few months ago, can you re-ally do it again so quickly? As long as
there’s benefit, yes.There’s a common misconception amongst
homeowners that they are required to hold ontoa mortgage for a minimum length of time beforethey are eligible to refinance into more favorableterms. This simply isn’t true. Unfortunately thisfalsity has been fueled by the mortgage industryitself. Mortgage professionals will often tellhomeowners they can’t refinance for a minimumof six months, but this is typically a
blatant lie to protect their own interests.Mortgage professionals are commission based
and are paid after a loan closes. Banks are will-ing to pay this commission to the agent based onthe future interest they’ll make on the loan.There is a provision, however, that the loan mustsurvive a minimum timeframe. If the loan ispaid off, closed out, or refinanced within the firstfew months the agent typically needs to payback the entire commission. It is for this reasonthat some mortgage “professionals” will tellhomeowners that they can’t refinance again forthis time frame, typically six months. Any li-
censed professional knows that they havean obligation to protect the best inter-
ests of their client, soanyone who propa-
gates this decep-tiveness is
operating bothunethically and(potentially)illegally.In reality, there
is nothing that pre-vents homeownersfrom refinancingshortly after their lastloan. Someone whoobtained a 30 yearfixed at 4.0% earlierthis year might wantto take advantage of today’s 3.5% rate. Thosewho locked in a 15 year fixed at 3.5% mightwant to lock in a lower 3.0% rate. And sincethese rates can be available with no points, feesor closing costs of any kind, there’s absolutelynothing to prevent a homeowner from doing itagain. As long as there’s benefit to the home-owner, there is no law or provision to prevent it.There is a rule which applies to homes that
were purchased within the last six months.This underwriting guideline does not preventa refinance from occurring, it merely statesthat the approval cannot be based on a valuehigher than the purchase price if refinancedwithin the first six months. So homeownerswho purchased a home under market price, orwho have made significant improvements orremodeled a home to add value might want towait out the six months to benefit from thatappreciation. But these individuals would dowell to consult their mortgage professionalfirst to learn if the extra value would evenmake a difference. Rates are so low right nowthat moving fast is sometimes better.
