We're a little more than two weeks past the All Star break. So, it's as good a time as any to hand out some virtual hardware.
About a month ago, our winners were Carlos Beltran, R.A. Dickey, Trevor Plouffe, and Yu Darvish. Who will supplant them this time around?
The Pirates are pressing on, as Andrew McCutchen's teammate, Neil Walker, providing the best competition. While Walker lead the NL with a .500 Batting Average and .561 On Base Percentage, McCutchen lead the league with his .972 Slugging, .606 wOBA, and 6 Homeruns.
Honorable mention: Neil Walker, David Wright, Ryan Zimmerman, and David Freese.
Perhaps turning the corner to dependable Major Leaguer, Homer Bailey has won his last four starts. Over the past fourteen days, he's 3-0, with a 1.59 ERA, 2 walks, and 20 strikeouts. Offense must have been up in the National League the past two weeks, as we've seen more dominant performances in the past.
Honorable mention: Jordan Zimmermann, Aroldis Chapman, and Paul Maholm.
Homer Bailey is surviving life with Dusty Baker.
The Rookie from Cuba lead the Majors in wOBA the past two weeks, at .613. Plus, he lead the American LEague in all three slash categories, AVG/OBP/SLG: .529/.568/.853. One telling statistic that could harbor future success is that Cespedes cut his strikeout rate in half. For the season, he is striking out in 20.5% of his plate appearances and only struck out 10.8% of the time this past fortnight.
Honorable mention: Mike Trout, Michael Brantley, Luke Scott, Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, and Josh Willingham.
The King has been a workhorse since the ASG, leading the league with 24 2/3 innings pitched. In three starts, he's 2-0 with a 0.73 ERA. The Twins' Francisco Liriano made a strong case to win, by striking out 45.5% of the batters he faced the past two weeks, but unlike Liriano, Felix actually won a game, walked fewer batters, and gave up zero home runs.
Honorable mention: Francisco Liriano, Justin Verlander, Clay Buchholz, and Roy Oswalt.
King Felix is pitching to more contact and succeeding.

Danville: History Lives Here
Your day of Central Kentucky history begins on a tranquil Bluegrass morning, after a stay in the simple luxury of one of Danville's historic bed-and-breakfasts. Perhaps you've stayed at Chaplin Hill, a plantation house dating to 1790, and you're enjoying coffee in their lovely boxwood garden. Or perhaps you've rested, like generations before you, at Stonehouse Stables, a fully-restored eighteenth-century inn that's also a thriving working farm.
Enjoy breakfast where you are, or make the short trip into downtown Danville for a fresh-from-the-oven morning treat, perhaps at Burke's Bakery at 121 West Main Street, named by the New York Times as a highlight of Kentucky's "Doughnut Trail." Salt-rising bread, sweet-and-spicy gingerbread men, and so much more round out the offerings at this downtown sweet spot, and you can even pick up a stacked-high deli sandwich for a picnic lunch later.
After breakfast, the cool of the morning is a great time for a walking tour. Perhaps you'll visit Danville's Constitution Square Park, whose courthouse was the site of the constitutional conventions that led to Kentucky's separation from Virginia in 1790 and its admission as the Union's fifteenth state in 1792. A stately bronze statue of two friends embracing, adorned with the state motto "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" and surrounded by carefully preserved and restored frame buildings, marks this historic spot. A guided tour is available by downloading the Geotourist app and searching for local tours.
Or visit Perryville Battlefield, whose history as the site of an epic Civil War clash has been carefully preserved alongside a thousand acres of rolling grass and shaded woodlands. Birdwatchers will find this site of particular interest. In warm weather, bobolinks and Henslow's sparrows can be seen. Migrating waterfowl gracefully skim the waters in autumn. And winter offers prime viewing time for the raptors that hunt in the open fields.
While in Perryville, you can also take a walking tour of historic downtown, seeing a wide variety of architectural styles and learning the history of homes in this National Historic Landmark area. Download a PDF at Grayson's Tavern or arrange a guided tour online, or visit the Main Street Perryville office at 216 South Buell Street for a printed booklet.
Ready for a rest? Enjoy your picnic lunch or rub elbows with the locals at one of the area's great lunch spots, many of which are themselves part of historic buildings. Then, if you'd like to sit a spell, why not take a driving tour? Again through Geotourist, follow the Civil War Driving Tour, which passes not only Perryville Battlefield but Bellevue Cemetery, Merchant's Row, Old Centre and McDowell Park. Find out more about Central Kentucky's storied African-American history on the "Forgotten Landmarks" tour. Or follow a leg of the Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway, which includes sites associated with Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War but also branches out into local religious heritage and the story of Kentucky Bourbon.
Late afternoon is the perfect time for a pick-me-up. How about a delicately-scented cup of hot tea in the elegant surroundings of Danville's Elmwood Inn Fine Teas shop and tea room at 135 North Second Street?
Or renew your spirits by touring Shaker Village, whose quiet and beautifully-constructed buildings were home to the Shakers' dearly held beliefs in communal living, radical hospitality, pacifism, and equal rights for every person. Surrounded by 3,000 acres of rock walls and rolling pastures, and with a selection of Kentucky-inspired adventures such as bonfires, hayrides, bourbon tastings, and horseback riding, Shaker Village is truly the quintessential Kentucky tour experience.
If you'd like to continue your Shaker Village experience, stay for dinner at The Trustees' Table, where traditional favorites and seasonal Kentucky dishes are prepared with seasonal, straight-from-the-garden ingredients. Or if you're ready to return to the modern world, but with a traditional Bluegrass twist, visit downtown Danville's Harvey's restaurant, at 120 South Fourth Street, where you can enjoy delicious, generations-old family soul food recipes and watch the big game on one of Harvey's four big screens. After dinner, stay at Harvey's or Jane Barleycorn's or visit one of Danville's other great nightspots for a night of local bands and local Bourbon.
And as you drift off to sleep after your day of historical exploration, remember: now that you've visited, you're a part of our history, too.

Tags: A, Avril Lavigne, goodbye lullabye, sk8ter boi, the best damn thing
She doesn't like your girlfriend, she doesn't like when things are complicated, and she'll miss you when you're gone. Avril Lavigne is a pop/rock artist who was born in Bellville, Ontario. This Canadian singer, songwriter, and musician entered the music scene at the age of 17 with her young, pop-punk tomboy attitude. By the age of 16, she had already signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records. In 2002, she released her debut album, Let Go. This album was certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Her breakthrough single, Complicated, peaked at No. 1 in many countries around the world. In 2004, she released her second album, Under My Skin. She released her third album, The Best Damn Thing, in April 2007, and her fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby in March 2011 through RCA Records. However, due to disagreements, Avril Lavigne left RCA Records in October 2011 for Epic Records. Avril is currently working on her fifth album which will be released through Epic Records (Epic Records is owned by Sony Music Entertainment – The head of ER is L.A Reid).One of the themes of Avril's music includes images of self-empowerment from a female adolescent's point of view. She believes her songs are about "being yourself no matter what and going after your dreams." Growing up, Lavigne listened to Blink 182, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Shania Twain, and her influences include Courtney Love and Janis Joplin. Because of these music genres, her influences, and her own personal style, the media has defined her as punk, something she always denied being.
In July 2006, Lavigne married Deryck Whibley, lead singer and guitarist for band Sum 41. The marriage lasted a little over 3 years until Lavigne filed for divorce.
Avril's feature film debut was voicing an animated character in the 2006 film, Over the Hedge. She voiced the character of Heather, an opossum. Lavigne said she found the recording process to be easy and natural.
In July 2008, Lavigne launched her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn. Named after her childhood nickname, Abby Dawn clothing is designed by Avril herself. Lavigne sometimes wears her own collections on stage while performing. Lavigne has also released three fragrances; Black Star, Forbidden Rose, and Wild Rose.
Avril has also been involved with many charities including the Make A Wish Foundation, Make Some Noise, and War Child. She also appeared in ALDO ads with YouthAIDS to raise money to educate people about HIV/AIDS. She has her own charity called "The Avril Lavigne Foundation" which helps youth with illnesses and disabilities. (Visit site here).
Avril Lavigne continues to excite her fans with her powerhouse voice, her high-spirited melodies, and her straight-talking lyrics.

Music Review: Resonance: Music from the ATLAS Experiment
If music is audible mathematics, then it makes sense that people who studied a lot of math would connect through music. That's what happened at the ATLAS experiment in Switzerland where physicists, technicians, and engineers spent their free time in jam sessions when away from the world's largest particle collider (the LHC).
["The ATLAS Boogie" by the Canettes Blues Band music video]
Rock, blues, classical, heavy metal and folk: These are just a handful of the musical genres represented on the two "Resonance: Music from the ATLAS Experiment" CDs.
The CDs were recorded by employees working on the ATLAS project on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland.
[Behind the scenes video on the making of 'Resonance"]
Musical numbers include both original songs and covers recorded by 19 different artists and groups including Squirrelheads in Gravy, The Collider Trio, and even piano soloist Fabiola Gianotti, the head of ATLAS.
The CDs are a collection of recordings arranged alphabetically by artist, so the songs jump from heavy metal to classical to rock and back to classical. In other words, it's not the kind of CD you would normally pop into your stereo and just listen to.
Still, the music is great and the eclectic gumbo of songs makes for a sensuous sampling of the cultural mash-up that is the ATLAS group.
What's more, proceeds from the CD go to charity, specifically to the Happy Children's Home in Nepal. The recently-constructed orphanage is already home to four children and is getting ready to welcome four more, according to their website.
The ATLAS experiment (the project at the LHC, not the one in the recording studio) is a particle detector looking for signs of new physics that could help us understand better how our Universe was formed.
ATLAS records collisions between particles smashed together in the LHC. It could one day detect the legendary Higgs boson - the hypothetical elementary particle that the standard model of particle physics says must exist. In the standard model, the Higgs boson is the particle that gives all other elementary particles mass. Finding it would revolutionize physics. So far the Higgs has eluded scientists. (According to a recent NYTimes story, it might have just been found, though the consensus says otherwise).
To buy the CDs and accompanying DVD, go to the Resonance website. There, you can preview each of the 36 songs, including the hilarious and sadly true "Points of Order" on CD1, and order the CD-DVD set. The CD set (but not the DVD) can also be downloaded online from iTunes, amazon.co.uk and a few other websites.


I understand your concerns but don't worry. You may continue her on Syp. Cremaffin along with fibre rich diet and plenty of fluids. Once she starts passing soft stools, you may decrease the frequency of cremaffin gradually over a week and then stop. Continue the dietary advice.
It is the recommended treatment for constipation.
I would be happy to help you in any further questions.

Mother of black and albino twins thought she was given wrong baby
Mother who gave birth to one black and one albino twin reveals she initially thought her daughter was the WRONG baby – and admits strangers don't believe the children are hers
Judith Nwokocha, 38, a photographer from Canada, gave birth to twins after IVF
But when she actually gave birth she first thought she was given the wrong baby
Her twins were born in 2016 – a black boy named Kamsi and an albino girl, Kachi
A mother who gave birth to one black and one albino twin has revealed her shock at first seeing them – and initially believed she had been brought the wrong baby.
Judith Nwokocha, 38, a Nigerian-born photographer from Calgary was astonished when she first met her baby boy, Kamsi, who was black, and her little girl Kachi, who was later diagnosed with albinism.
She and her husband, who is also black, struggled for eight years before falling pregnant through IVF, and now find that people don't believe the twins, now three, are theirs because of their different skin colours.
Yet the siblings 'haven't noticed anything different', the doting parent claimed, and have a 'great' relationship.
Albinism is an inherited condition and if both parents carry the faulty gene, then there is a one in four chance that their child will be born with the condition, which affected Kachi, but not her twin brother.
There are no figures available for how many sets of twins are born where only one has albinism, although other cases have been reported in South America and Africa.
Other cases have been reported where twins are born of different races, but these figures refer to cases among mixed race couples where the egg and sperm that fuse contain gene coding for one skin colour – and the chances are one in a million.
Judith Nwokocha, 38, a photographer from Calgary, Canada, was astonished when she first met her baby boy, Kamsi, who was black, and her little girl Kachi, who was later diagnosed with albinism. Pictured: The twins as newborns (left) and now (right)
The Nigerian-born mother (pictured with her children shortly after their birth), explained that people don't believe the twins, now three, are hers
'Most people don't believe they're twins,' Judith said. 'It's also [Kachi's] hair texture that confuses them. Someone has asked me, "Where are her parents?".
'I can see the look of shock in their faces when I tell them I'm her mother.'
Yet Judith insisted that she has never had any horrible comments about the twins' different skin colour, explaining: 'I haven't had any negative reaction from anyone, they always tell me she is beautiful.'

Judith (pictured left, when pregnant with the twins) insisted that she has never had any horrible comments about her children's (pictured right) different skin colour
Shortly after discovering she was pregnant, Judith was told the twins might be born with Down syndrome, with Kachi always behind her brother in terms of growth.
She said: 'I remember going for my first scan when they told me, "You are having a baby", and I said, "No, I'm having two", I knew, without a doubt.
'The second scan revealed we're having twins. I was told the twins might have Down Syndrome. At seven weeks, Kachi was always behind.
WHAT IS OCULOCUTANEOUS ALBINISM?
Oculocutaneous albinism is a condition that affects an estimated one in 20,000 people worldwide from birth.
It is the most common type of the two forms of albinism and affects the skin, hair and eyes.
It is an inherited condition and if both parents carry the faulty gene, then there is a one in four chance that their child will be born with the condition.
Individuals with albinism typically have very fair skin and white or light blonde hair.
It also reduces the pigmentation of the coloured part of the eye – the iris – and the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye – the retina.
People from ethnic groups with darker pigmentation tend to have darker coloured eyes.
Those with the condition usually have vision problems such as reduced sharpness, increased sensitivity to light (photophobia) and involuntary eye movements (nystagmus).
Because the twins are non-identical, this is explains why only one inherited the faulty gene from their parents.
In a 2010 article in the Journal of Perinatology, researchers described the case of twin girls being born to parents of Congolese origin, where one was black and one was albino.
They ruled out heteropaternity as a cause – where there are two different fathers – and concluded through testing that one child was albino.

Kachi (pictured with her brother) was diagnosed with Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA) type 2 – an inherited condition where people do not produce sufficient melanin and this affects their eyes, skin and hair
Apart from sensitive skin and eyesight, Kachi (pictured with her brother) is perfectly healthy, according to her mother
'She was very small, she stopped growing. I remember the doctors telling me she might not make it. I'm so grateful she did.'
Judith added: 'She didn't cry initially, so I was thinking "what's going to happen, how is she going to be?".
'I was shocked. I thought they had handed me somebody else's baby, I didn't believe she was mine.
'It never crossed my mind I was going to have an albino baby, we don't have any in my family, nor my husband's family.
BLACK AND WHITE TWINS: A MILLION TO ONE CHANCE
The odds against of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colour are a million to one.
Skin colour is believed to be determined by up to seven different genes working together.
If a woman is of mixed race, her eggs will usually contain a mixture of genes coding for both black and white skin.
Similarly, a man of mixed race will have a variety of different genes in his sperm. When these eggs and sperm come together, they will create a baby of mixed race.
But, very occasionally, the egg or sperm might contain genes coding for one skin colour. If both the egg and sperm contain all white genes, the baby will be white. And if both contain just the versions necessary for black skin, the baby will be black.
For a mixed-race couple, the odds of either of these scenarios is around 100 to one. But both scenarios can occur at the same time if the woman conceives non-identical twins, another 100 to one chance.
This involves two eggs being fertilised by two sperm at the same time, which also has odds of around 100 to one.
If a sperm containing all-white genes fuses with a similar egg and a sperm coding for purely black skin fuses with a similar egg, two babies of dramatically different colours will be born.
The odds of this happening are 100 x 100 x 100 – a million to one.
'It was a real shock for me, I was thinking, "What are they doing, why did they give me someone else's baby?"
'And then I thought, "Could it be I got somebody else's?. But I was just glad she was perfect. Both were healthy.
Judith added: 'Other than the fact that she is different colour, she looks exactly like me. '
Kachi was diagnosed with Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA) type 2 – an inherited condition where people do not produce sufficient melanin and this affects their eyes, skin and hair.
Judith said she was initially concerned for Kachi (pictured laughing with her brother) and how people would react to her
All smiles! The twins pose with little guitars as they model for their mother during a photoshoot
The beaming three-year-old twins share a giggle as they sit next to one another on a sofa
Judith said she was initially concerned for Kachi and how people would react to her.
Yet apart from sensitive skin and eyesight, the little one is perfectly healthy and although she turns a few heads when they're out and about, Judith doesn't let that get her down.
The mother said: 'It took me a while to realise I'm going to be raising an albino. I was really concerned about what people were going to say, it's not a very usual thing to have an albino and a black baby.
'I was also sad, I was worried about how she's going to go through society, how people are going to treat her. It didn't affect my affection or love at all of course.'

EFFORT AND SCIENCE TO WIN | IELTS Academic Reading Sample Question
Matching headings
EFFORT AND SCIENCE TO WIN
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage
Winning nowadays is not only a question of disciplined training: The triumph of victory today involves the collaboration of several medical specialists who combine their particular knowledge in an effort to help each athlete to reach their potential.
A. In Mexico, the Medicine Direction and Applied Sciences of the National Commission of Deporte analyses all aspects of sports science from the role of the auditory system in sporting achievement to die power of the mind and its role in the ability to win. Everything, it seems, is open to scrutiny. Recently, the focus has been evaluating the visual acuity of cyclists and long distance runners but they also focus on the more traditional areas of sports research, among them psychology, nutrition, anthropology, biochemistry and odontology1. From budding child athletes as young as 9 to the more mature-aged sportsperson, the facility at Deporte has attracted some of Mexico's most famous sporting and Olympic hopefuls.
B. "The study of elite athletes is now more scientific than ever" says doctor Francisco Javier Squares, "after each competition, athletes are exposed to vigorous medical examinations and follow-up training in order to help US arrive at a program that is tailor-made. "The modern athlete has become big business, no longer is there a one-size-fits-all approach. For example, in the past two people both 1.70 meters tall and weighing 70 kilograms would have been given the same program of athletic conditioning – now this idea is obsolete. It may be that the first individual has 35 kgs of muscle and 15 kgs of fat and the other person, although the same height and weight may have 30 kgs of muscle and 20 kgs of fat. Through detailed scientific evaluation here at our facility in Deporte," says Squares, "… we are able to construct a very specific training programme for each individual."
C. Whereas many countries in die world focus on the elevation of the glorious champion, the Mexican Olympic team takes a slightly different approach. Psychologically speaking an athlete must bring to his endeavour a healthy dose of humility. As Squares said, "When an athlete wins for Mexico, it is always as a result of a combined team effort with many people operating behind the scenes to realise the sporting achievement. When an athlete stands on the dais, it is because of great effort on the part of many."
D. As is often the case in some poorer countries, sportsmen and women are stifled in their development due to budgetary constraints. However this has not been a factor for consideration with the team in Mexico. The Mexican government has allocated a substantial sum of money for the provision of the latest equipment and laboratories for sports research. In fact, the quality of Mexico's facilities puts them on a par with countries like Italy and Germany in terms of access to resources. One example of sophisticated equipment used at the Mexican facility is the hyperbaric chamber. This apparatus is used to enhance oxygen recovery after a vigorous physical workout. Says Squares, "When you breathe the air while inside a hyperbaric chamber the natural state of the oxygen does not change. Green plants produced the oxygen; modern technology just increases the air pressure. This does not change the molecular composition of oxygen. Increased pressure just allows oxygen to get into tissues better. Due to our purchase of the hyperbaric chamber, athletes are able to recover from an intense workout in a much shorter space of time. We typically use the chamber for sessions of 45 to 60 minutes daffy or three times per week."
E. When pushed to the limit, the true indicator of fitness is not how hard the heart operates, but how quickly it can recover after an extreme workout. Therefore, another focus area of study for the team in Mexico has been the endurance of the heart. To measure this recovery rate, an electroencephalograph (EEG) is used. The EEG enables doctors to monitor the brainwave activity from sensors placed on the scalp. Athletes exert intense effort for a sustained period after which they are given time to rest and recover. During these periods between intense physical exertion and recovery, doctors are able to monitor any weaknesses in the way the heart responds. The CCG has had a big impact upon our ability to measure the muscular endurance of the heart.
F. In 1796, the life expectancy of a human being was between 25 and 36 years, in 1886 that number basically doubled to between 45 and 50. In 1996, the life expectancy of an average Mexican stood at around 75 years. People are living longer and this is due in large part to the advances of modern science. It is not all sophisticated medical equipment that is playing a part; although lesser in impact, basic advances in engineering are also greatly assisting. Take for example, a professional tennis player. In the past, most tennis players' shoes were constructed with fabric and a solid rubber sole. These shoes were of poor construction and resulted in hip and foot injuries. Today the technology of shoe construction has radically changed. Now some shoes are injected with silicone and made of more comfortable, ergonomic1 construction. This has helped not only the elite but also the recreational sportsperson and thus, helps in the preservation of the human body. 1 objects designed to be better adapted to the shape of the human body

at the tail end of august, three of us hiked a loop over avalanche, colby, and forester passes. since this was almost entirely on trail and this stuff has been covered extensively before, i'll try to keep the trail descriptions brief.
we picked up our permit at roads end on the afternoon prior to our hike. the ranger mentioned that there was a small fire on the bubbs creek trail, but that hikers were being escorted through. we spent the night at sentinel campground: lots of families, huge mesh tent palaces/rooms, and everyone having a great time. we ate at the empty cedar grove restaurant, which was totally passable. there was a bit of smoke and haze in the valley.
so, we simply reversed the direction of our hike and headed towards avalanche pass.
we had lunch at sphinx junction, and watched as groups of hikers were escorted out. some had been waiting for a full day on the other side of the fire without much (any?) information on what to do. they were a bit freaked out.
from the avalanche pass switchbacks, we could see a few small fires burning along the bubbs drainage.
of course, there was a reason i had routed us up bubbs creek first: avalanche pass was an absolute beast with day 1 packs, legs, and lungs. 5500 feet up! unfortunately, the trail closure confusion meant that we got a late start, and found ourselves on the endless, switchbacking granite stairs in the middle of the day.
we put one slow foot in front of the other, and made it to the pass by 5. the trail gets pretty faint near the pass on the northern side and once up and over the pass, it's far worse on the southern side. fortunately, the topography funneled us in the generally proper direction until the trail remerges in earnest. eventually we found ourselves at moraine meadows as the light started to fade.
moraine meadows is a totally acceptable and entirely forgettable place to camp. in fact, this entire day was pretty mediocre by the impossibly high standards of where we were headed.
we dropped down to roaring river and spoke with cindy, the longtime ranger. from there, we ascended slowly through modest and somewhat lackluster forest until we were at big wet meadow and its amazing view of the whaleback. it was around here that the subtle, smokey haze finally seemed to lift for good.
the rest of the ascent to colby lake was steeper and very beautiful. the lake itself did not disappoint. i wish we'd had more time there.
we saw one solo hiker earlier in the day, and shared colby lake with a single large group camped a few hundred yards away.
the view of colby lake as one ascends towards colby pass is lovely.
i don't understand how someone ever looked at the northern head wall of colby pass and thought "yes, we can definitely put a trail over THAT." but they sure got the job done.
this summer's small rockslide near the top of the pass made the already steep climb a bit spicier than expected, mostly because the various improvised shortcuts around the trail washouts tended to be steep, loose gravel with runouts that would likely spell serious injury if you were so unlucky. still, they were quickly and fairly easily passed.
at the top, we ran into two nice guys headed back from kaweah basin and in the middle of an 11 day trip. they pointed out the "tree escalator" route from the pass. someday!
the basin or valley just south of colby pass is exceedingly beautiful and deserves a name, no? it reminded me a bit of dusy basin, but i think i liked it more. the rest of the day was pleasant. the gallats area was nice, though i wasn't as taken with it as others seem to be.
we ran into trail crew working on the overgrown trail near rockslide lake, who assured us that bubbs would be open when we got there a few days on.
the final descent towards the kern was beautiful in the afternoon light. i just love that canyon. i wasn't excited to stay at junction meadow, but we found a huge and totally quiet area all to ourselves right by the colby pass junction. besides the guys on colby pass, we didn't see another hiker until junction meadow.
the high sierra trail is absolutely beautiful as it ascends parallel to the kern river. i love how the kaweahs slowly loom their heads out above the unnamed ridge standing between us.
i'd never been on bighorn plateau, and was amazed at the views up there. that area is really one of the most striking things i've seen in the sierra, and that's saying a lot! it made me want to spend more time up there (perhaps wright lakes basin?).
it was around this time that a cloudy aspect started to build, like a thin white tablecloth had been spread across half of the sky. we set up shop at the tyndall creek frog ponds, which we had entirely to ourselves despite the existence of something like 20 or 30 sites around us. i found the area around those shallow lakes quite lovely, and i didn't see much negative impact (i.e. toilet paper).
while we did see more hikers than we had on the previous days, it felt like a modest trickle and not a deluge.
the morning had a similarly flat, cloudy look. the hike up towards forester was quite beautiful and so modestly graded that it was easy to forget you were climbing at all.
unrelated: diamond mesa is so metal.
the final push up to the pass was remarkably well constructed. i was surprised to see that "the chute" -- home to much early season gnashing of teeth -- was a wide, easy sidewalk underneath all that snow.
at the pass, we ran into a young couple and their 15 month old doing the JMT! naturally, the kids name was sequoia. when they finally headed down the south side, they literally ran down it. i couldn't fathom that kind of energy, though later i decided it was probably because the kid liked the bouncing (at least that's what my kid likes) and not that they necessarily wanted to run down the south side of forester.
we ate lunch at some campsites impressively terraced into a hillside above bubbs creek before pushing on towards the turn off for center basin. ultimately, we turned off the JMT just north of the outlet from golden bear lake, figuring we'd save time by not descending all the way to the old center basin trail itself, since we didn't know what shape it would be in to begin with.
as it turned out, we stumbled onto the trail within 20 minutes, and were surprised to see that it was in far better shape than portions of the avalanche pass and cloud canyon-area trails, despite being removed from modern maps and no longer (?) maintained.
the trail lead us right to golden bear, where we rooted around for a campsite for longer than usual. eventually we found a decent spot for two tents behind some trees, but i'd expect more and better spots at a relatively well-loved sierra lake, off trail or no.
this lower section of center basin reminded me of humphrey's basin, albeit closely hemmed in on two sides by hugely impressive granite faces. we lounged on rocks near the water while four velvet-antlered bucks wandered around munching on grass. it was idyllic.
it froze overnight, our first truly cold evening. soon after waking, i scrambled up the big rock in front of our campsite to check out the morning light. immediately, something on the other side of the lake started howling -- LOUD. it cut straight through the otherwise silent morning. it took me a minute to find the coyote. when i did, he or she was nearing the end of their solo, apparently sated that they had made their presence well known to us. he or she then turned and sauntered around the far side of the lake before disappearing into some rocks.
the whole experience probably lasted less than a minute, but felt like much longer! it was an amazing experience on what turned out to be our last day in the backcountry.
we packed up with numb fingers and got moving. of course, soon the sun was peaking over the eastern crest and we were flinging off layers. on the descent to the JMT, we did some quick calculations and decided that, instead of taking two short days and a (possibly mediocre?) night along bubbs creek, why not hike out to the car today? we had town food to eat and families to see.
i had wondered before we left whether the lack of off trail travel/effort/trauma/fun would affect my satisfaction with our trip. the answer was a resounding NO! the high sierra is such an amazing place, and so overwhelming to me in its richness. i (and all of you reading this) are so lucky to have found it for ourselves.
That's a great picture of Golden Bear Lake. An original composition and very nice colors! Thanks for sharing with us.

With the biggest food holiday of the year on the horizon, there are fall wreaths, pumpkins, pie-scented candles, and colorful little gourds everywhere. And some of these decorative staples are just as good for you to eat as they are pretty to look at. While you shouldn't waste your time trying to cook up those bendy little gourds, the pumpkins—and tons of other types of winter squash (yep, pumpkins are a type of squash), like butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and delicata squash—deserve some major real estate on your Thanksgiving plate.
"The more color, the more phytonutrients [natural compounds that protect plants] and antioxidant properties a squash has," says Jeanette Kimszal, R.D.N., N.L.C. So reach for the bold hues!
Here are five important nutrients squashes add to your plate.
A food's orange hue indicates it contains carotenoids, which are chemical compounds that turn into vitamin A in the body, says Kimszal. These carotenoids, including beta-carotene, are powerful antioxidants, and vitamin A is crucial for maintaining healthy vision. Take just one look at the orange-y color of pumpkins and butternut squash and you know they're loaded with these compounds.
Everyone should shoot for about 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day, but most only clock in around 15 to 18 grams, according to the CDC. Not only does fiber keep you from feeling ravenous again minutes after eating, but it's also key for digestive health.
A cup of butternut squash provides almost seven grams of fiber, while a cup of acorn squash provides nine grams of fiber—a serious dent in your daily needs!
We all know vitamin C is important for our immune systems, but did you know most types of squash, like acorn and hubbard, provide about 20 percent of your daily vitamin C?
The next time you make squash, save the seeds! A cup of roasted pumpkin seeds provides about two milligrams of iron, which your blood needs to transport oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, says Turoff. That's a little more than ten percent of women's daily iron needs (18 milligrams) and a quarter of men's (eight milligrams).
Looking for another reason to chow down on seeds? They contain tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to create the hormone melatonin, which helps you sleep, says Turoff. Tryptophan also plays a role in your production of the feel-good hormone serotonin, which can help boost mood, adds nutritionist Keith Kantor, Ph.D.
Butternut squash seeds are some of the highest in tryptophan, with a ratio of 22 milligrams of tryptophan per gram of protein. Talk about a mood and snooze-boosting snack!
If you want to keep things simple, you can bake or broil just about any squash with herbs and spices for a perfect fall side dish. Smaller squashes, like acorn squash, can just be halved, cooked, and eaten straight out of the skin with a spoon, while larger squashes, like butternut squash, are best peeled and cubed. Spaghetti squash, which can be scraped out in noodle-like strings once cooked, also makes for a perfect healthy pasta alternative, says Mearaph Barnes, R.D., co-founder of Roots Reboot.
Squashes are also great in soups, like Kimszal's coconut broccoli butternut squash soup, because they're hearty and slightly sweet.
And, of course, there's always pumpkin pie. Want to make yours a little healthier this year? Blend a can of 100-percent pure pumpkin puree with 10 ounces of silken tofu and 10 to 12 pitted dates in the food processor, says Barnes. Then, add powdered cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon to taste. Pour the mixture into a whole-wheat pie crust and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

What if we designed homes to stay cool?

Shade, ventilate, insulate
Passive design in the subcontinent
The 'cold crunch'
The apartment complex, with buildings designed to be cooler, will be designed for thermal comfort, a somewhat subjective measure, because people's idea of comfort differs based on their own preferences, the context they are in, and their life experiences. "Thermal comfort is the comfort hours which you get inside your structure. This is without air conditioning or any mechanical cooling system," says Rajneesh Sareen, Programme Director, Sustainable Buildings and Habitat Programme at the Centre for Science and Environment in New Delhi. What humans think is comfortable though, has remained largely unchanged, Sareen says. "Your materials and other science may have changed, but your understanding of wind and the breeze (too windy) remains the same. Your body understands those in a similar fashion."
The three main passive design elements that go into creating thermal comfort are shading, ventilation and insulation. Shading blocks direct heat from entering the home, while still allowing light. Ventilation allows air to flow through the home, ideally allowing (cooler) outside air to replace inside air at an optimal rate of 10 changes an hour. Insulation keeps the home from absorbing too much heat, while still staying comfortably warm when it's cool outside.

In the Indian subcontinent, which lies in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun travels directly overhead in the summer, and falls at an angle from the south in the winter. "In the summers the sun on the southern side is very high, so even if you have a simple chajja (overhang for shade), it prevents the sun from hitting the glass in the window. That's enough for that. And then in the winters, the sun angle is low on the south. In the winters you require the sun, so that same chajja is not going to obstruct the sun in the winter. This is especially true of places in north India, and that works out pretty well," says Saswati Chetia, an architect and associate director at Greentech Knowledge Solutions, who specialises in energy efficient building design. The Eastern sun, where it rises, is mild and provides light, so Sareen suggests keeping living and working spaces on that side, while cutting the Western sun as much as possible with shading and insulated walls.
Ventilation is tricky because it requires the flow of wind through the house, but only when it's cooler. You also don't want too strong a wind. To achieve optimal air flow, window design becomes crucial. French windows allow large amounts of light in, but they are inefficient from a ventilation point of view, because at any given time, only half the entire window area can ever be opened. Windows that open inward or outward, on the other hand, allow more than 90% of the window to be opened. Chetia also points out another flaw with French windows: They contain too much glass, which is a poor reflector of heat. Large windows turn homes into greenhouses, effectively trapping in heat that you then need an air conditioner to cool down. She suggests switching to older fashioned windows that were half glass – to let in light – and half wood, or another material that blocks both heat and light. If the view is compelling enough to still merit a French window, a heat reflective coating on the glass or a shade on the window becomes advisable.
Ventilation is also a major reason for limiting the height of the building to no more than four storeys. Studies of wind flows in cities show that higher storeys experience uncomfortably high wind speeds. Tall buildings laid out in rows also create wind tunnels within the city, altering the patterns by which air flows through the city, and affecting life on the ground.
One issue with using outside air for ventilation in larger cities is air pollution. As Chetia points out, "In places like Delhi, we really need to work on getting our outside air right, so that we can use it. It's a resource that is there, and you are just polluting that resource and you're not able to use it. And for other cities, it's that don't pollute your air to that extent. If you are not able to use it, it will be disastrous."
Insulation is the third part of designing for thermal comfort and this is determined by the materials that are used to construct homes. Modern residential complexes are made with Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) that is moulded concrete set around a steel frame for strength. RCC walls are great for multistorey construction because each individual wall is strong enough to be load bearing. This means there is no need for special beams or a frame. RCC walls can also be very thin, which is a boon for higher constructions, because the walls are light. Making moulds for RCC walls is expensive and the cost can only be justified if the moulds are used over and over, in modular constructions in multistorey residential complexes. Using such modular walls saves on labour and increases the pace of construction, which is why RCC finds increasing favour in city construction.
It also means there is more floor area since the walls are thinner – as thin as 15 cm – and flats are sold based on floor area. But thin walls also mean faster heat transfer from outside to inside. Concrete is a poor insulator, with twice the thermal conductivity of clay bricks, and almost thrice that of environmentally friendly but less strong materials like Autoclaved Aerated Concrete.
In the homes of the future, thicker, or better insulated walls might be the way to go. In older buildings like the Benares Hindu University building in Varanasi, the walls are up to 24 inches thick, allowing in even lesser heat during the day, but trapping in heat to release during cool nights. But that doesn't mean modern homes need such thick walls. There are plenty of compromises that can be struck along the way. "So instead of trying to do a very thick material wall, what we try to do is use hollow blocks somewhere or use double walls which is a cavity wall. There are two layers of thin walls with this air gap in between, which helps in reducing the heat gain. So instead of building an 18 inch or 24 inch wall, you might be able to achieve the same comfort in 12 inches itself," suggests Anurag Tamhankar, a senior architect at Biome Environmental Solutions, a design firm with a focus on ecology. This still requires a compromise though: if walls are thicker, floor area will be less, which means that the carpet area of the house becomes less, and that is the measure on the basis of which homes are sold.
"Most of the time people think it's very expensive to work on [passive design]," says Sareen. "Then you have to tell them that it's not expensive. Even the design, which is 2% of total cost of the project, can eventually give you a lot of gains." Many of the solutions, like building orientation or careful window design do not add to the cost of construction, but still provide a measure of thermal comfort.
Whether these designs are scalable, is yet not established. Since real estate costs are high in urban areas, builders try to build high to maximise land usage, indicate experts. But passive design could be adapted in tier 2 cities which are still expanding, where land costs are still not entirely prohibitive and there is, perhaps, still time to reimagine how people live.

There are several design ideas that have evolved in the Indian subcontinent that merit consideration when building the homes of the future. Such ideas can be divided by class and chronology, says Amita Baviskar, sociologist and Professor of Environmental Studies and Sociology and Anthropology at Ashoka University. In dense areas of Delhi like the walled city of Shahjahanabad, she explains that it was a combination of trying to deflect the direct rays of the sun while allowing for ventilation. The devices used would be thick walls, porches, verandahs, chajjas, roshandaans (high ventilators) above the doors, and central courtyards. "Most houses will be ground floor, one, two storeys, with an open terrace on top. And that open terrace again became the place to catch breezes, sleep out on summer nights, catch the sun in the winters and so on." What the British brought was a style that she classes broadly as tropical architecture: "It's colonialism meeting local climate, which was based on a very privileged access to a lot of space." So such homes had large gardens, verandahs and extended overhanging roofs.
Baviskar also notes that there are similarities between the worker-housing chawls of Mumbai and the homes in Shahjahanabad in the shared balconies, the corridors, and the architecture of the shared courtyard.
Mughal architecture incorporated water channels and fountains in indoor spaces, which enhanced evaporation and thus, cooling. Tamilian and Keralite homes often have wrought iron gates and verandahs before the home, allowing for a transitional space between outside and inside that screens heat. Local building techniques like mud plastering and thatched roofs in Rajasthan would also reduce sun exposure.
While it is useful to look to vernacular techniques for inspiration, Tamhankar points out that not all such ideas are practical anymore. "Many of the techniques which were there, they are not probably suited for our current lifestyle," he says, pointing out that mud walls require re-plastering every year. There are other practical issues: the lack of skilled labour and raw materials for such vernacular design techniques, says Sareen. Chetia also points out that brick laying, for instance, requires a mason, and then someone to supervise the mason, all of which increases the labour cost. Prefabricated concrete brings this cost down. Still, the design cost is a small percentage of the project cost and smart design choices can result in considerable savings on cooling bills over time.
Newer but established ideas like roof gardens and solar panels on the roof are also important. The solar panels screen plants on the roof from direct sun, and can power at least common areas in the apartment complex, resulting in further energy savings.
Only 8% of households in India had air conditioners in 2017 according to the India Cooling Action Plan, but that number is set to grow rapidly. The International Energy Agency estimates that Indians own 67 million AC units in 2022. By 2032, they project that this number will go up to 318 million units. Much of this air conditioning will be devoted to cooling homes in urban areas, which heat up faster than rural areas. Such a high demand for cooling will drive up electricity demand, resulting in what the IEA calls a 'cold crunch'. The solutions for this are of course multi-fold: air conditioners should become more energy efficient, urban planning should be improved in order to avoid the Urban Heat Island effect, and the homes of the future need to be built for greater thermal comfort. That does not mean that many such homes won't still require air conditioning, but their design will mean that the air conditioners can run for fewer hours, and at higher temperatures than otherwise.

While a dense and compact typology increases efficiency in terms of usage of land and distribution of services, a high-rise building may underperform on sustainability, affordability and adaptive comfort, notes a policy brief by Centre for Science and Environment. "Studies show that the taller a building, the higher are the emissions per square metre due to higher cement and steel load per unit area," it notes.
"Go beyond [ground + 4 storeys] and you are increasing your embodied carbon, because you require more concrete density to go higher, you require a lift, you require fire systems and all the extra stuff," says Chetia, which is why she suggests keeping buildings high density, but low rise. Emissions are automatically reduced when buildings don't require air conditioners to run continuously.

Key Note speaker telling her story and shares the profound lessons learned from her relationship with Nelson Mandela. She is also a passionate nutritionist and environmentalist.
Desre' is now a key note speaker sharing her story and spreading the truth about the body- mind - spirit connection and the power of creative visualization.
Presidential Shirt was born in 1994 when Buirski handed a gift for Nelson Mandela of a black long sleeved silk shirt with tan fish design to his bodyguard.
"When I heard Mandela was to speak at the synagogue on Marais Road in Sea Point the following day, I knew I had to see him and give him a gift to thank him for all his sacrifices. That's how he got the fish shirt and the brand was born," says Buirski.
Buirski continued to supply Mandela with over 150 shirts over the years, as he defined the style of what has become known as the 'Madiba Shirt'. The recent involvement of men's clothing distributor Into Africa in the brand has given it a new lease of life and extended its availability.

NOTE: If you're not a travel wonk (and totally obsessed) as I am, you may not enjoy this post at all – or your eyes may glaze over or, worse, get permanently crossed. Proceed AYOR!!
So, how did I not know about this one? It was only a couple of months ago that a good friend (and fellow obsessed traveler) – AB-M – told me that there is this thing called "Round the World Air Fares" that is offered by the 3 airline alliances: One World (American Airlines), Sky Team (Delta) and Star Alliance (United).
You go to a dedicated website, input your itinerary and class of service, choose your flights, and off you go. What's really interesting is that there don't seem to be any blackout dates and the round-the-world fare is deeply discounted by comparison to what you might spend if you were purchasing each travel segment separately. You can also choose which class of service in which you want to fly: economy, business or first class – it's all there for the taking.
There are a few caveats: you must fly in one direction, you must cross both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and there will be a minimum and maximum number of flight segments you are allowed. There are time rules, also, but they tend to be very liberal.
If you were so-inclined to fly round-the-world, there is a huge savings to book the tickets via one of these airline alliances, right?
Since AAC CPA and I have gold status for life on American Airlines, we tend to go with them for most of our air travel, when we can. Having said that, our gold status gives us basically: NOTHING. And, since we fly mostly on miles, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to achieve Platinum or Executive Platinum status. Boo-Hoo!
Anyway, I got it into my head that it would be really cool to fly around the world. So, just for fun, I've developed the following itinerary and tried it out on all 3 airline alliances to see how it would shake out.
Why did I choose these particular locales? Well, we've never been to Hong Kong and I've heard amazing things about flying on Cathay Pacific (which is part of the One World Alliance). Tel Aviv? I haven't been to Israel since the last millennium and AAC has never been. Plus, I've heard rumors that Cathay Pacific may inaugurate nonstop flights from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv next year. (Do I detect a theme here?) Paris and London are no-brainers, as they're two of our favorite cities and are sort of on the way home. Actually we've been to those 2 cities so many times that they almost ARE home.
Under Round-the-World fares, choose oneworld Explorer and go from there. The interface is very user-friendly, and it's and all difficult to play with it.
Starting with JFK – HKG, no problem. Cathay Pacific flies a daily nonstop. 16 hours!! But we've heard that it's a great airline and you'll be well treated.
Plus – and fellow-wonks, this is IMPORTANT – the Cathay Pacific flight also operates as a codeshare on American Airlines. So if, for instance, you're in American's AAdvantage Mileage Program and you can book the flight using the codeshare, you should be entitled to AA miles (in addition to bonus miles if you're flying in a premium cabin). Woo-Hoo!
Let's go to Hong Kong!!
From HKG – TLV, at the present time (until Cathay Pacific initiates nonstop service), the best way to fly is Cathay Pacific to London (LHR), and then onwards to TLV on British Airways. (We're also enrolled in BA's Executive Club, so we should pick up some Avios miles on the 2nd segment.) Total travel time here is about 20 hours (ouch!!) whereas, if you can fly from HKG – TLV nonstop, it's more like 12 hours. For what it's worth, the HKG – TLV segment on Cathay Pacific is in 1st class, and the LHR – TLV segment is in business class. If Cathay Pacific eventually flies nonstop from HKG – TLV, it's been rumored that the only premium cabin will be business class.
Let's hit the beach in Tel Aviv!
Or a dip in the Dead Sea?
After our week in the Holy Land, it's off to chic Paris. In the One World Alliance, this is kind of a stinker itinerary, as you have to fly through LHR on British Airways, change planes and then to Paris. Instead of a 4 – 5 hour nonstop (if it were available), you're now facing total travel time of 8½ hours. This is one of the compromises of flying within one of these airline alliances and a core lesson to learn: you can't always get from point "A" to point "B" without making a few stops along the way.
Paris to London is no biggie – now it's an easy 80-minute flight from CDG to LHR. After what you're already been through, this is nothing!
Finally, on the flight back to New York, you have 2 options: either fly on American Airlines, which has 3 nonstops every day (but only 1 with a first class cabin), or British Airways. Again, if you want to collect AAdvantage miles, go with AA. If you want Avios, BA is your man.
When I attempted this itinerary on the Star Alliance (United) and Sky Team (Delta) websites, there were immediate problems. If, for instance, you wanted to fly in first class, almost all of the Star Alliance flight options were downgraded to business class, so it would make sense to choose "business class" as your class option and save thousands of dollars (duh?). Additionally, because of this particular itinerary, in some cases there were as many as 2 changes of plane to get from one city to another. That doesn't sound like fun.
Yes, it's the vrai – a special club for special people!!
As you think about your specific itinerary, be aware that each alliance has its pros and cons with respect their favored cities and the ease with which you can get from here to there.
But, in the end, it's all about the adventure of travel and the idea of making a circumnavigation of our planet makes me kind of tingle.
So what is YOUR favorite itinerary on your round-the-world fantasy adventure?
This is great information, thank you sooo much for sharing! The idea of travelling around the world does more than make me tingle … I'm positively abuzz at the possibility. Im looking forward to sharing adventures with you on our blogs!
I would definitely go with Crystal !!!!
And ANOTHER country heard from!!!

Who's going to stop Donald Trump being re-elected in 2020?
That is the big question looming large over America's political landscape as the clock ticks ever louder on the next election.
Maybe it will be Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose much-awaited report into alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign team and Russia is expected in the near future?
Should Mueller produce real hard evidence directly implicating President Trump, it would be game over for The Donald.
But I very much doubt that's going to happen.
If he had found any, we'd surely know about it faster than a greyhound flies out of a trap.
Maybe it will be old age or ill health?
But I very much doubt that will happen either.
Trump, who will be 74 by the time he faces the voters again, shows no sign of slowing down or losing a single ounce of his combative energy.
Maybe it will be Hillary Clinton, who has spent the past two years seething with indignant fury that she lost and is apparently 'seriously considering' running again?
But I am 100% confident that won't happen. Mainly because Trump would think Thanksgiving had come early.
So who CAN stop Trump?
The pool of Democrat candidates who have so far indicated they will run is distinctly underwhelming.
Elizabeth Warren is the new Hillary – a charmless Trump-hating lawyer with a massive chip on both shoulders. She is proudly progressive, and wants to heavily tax the rich.
Kamala Harris has endorsed Medicare-for-all and making college 'debt-free' – which would bankrupt America in about 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, the rising Democrat superstar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is single-handedly lurching the party so far left with her 70% tax rate clarion calls it is in danger of turning communist!
Enter Howard Schultz, the maverick Starbucks billionaire, to a blaze of mostly negative headlines as he said he might run as an independent candidate after years supporting the Democrats.
He's promptly been viciously whacked for being vain, out-of-touch, arrogant, not knowing the price of Cheerios, and for being so dumb he doesn't realise if he runs as an independent then he increases the chance of another Republican win by splitting the anti-Trump vote.
But Schultz is definitely not dumb, and he didn't get to become one of the most successful businessmen in American history by rolling over and surrendering when the going gets tough.
Instead, he has stood his ground and whacked back.
And he whacked the Democrats generally for moving so far to the left they haven't just lost loyal supporters like him but are making themselves unelectable.
Schultz has whacked Trump too, branding him 'unqualified' and 'despicable'. And he says he plans to whack the Republicans just as aggressively in the next few weeks.
The truth is he thinks the whole Washington system is broken and needs whacking back into shape. And he's absolutely right.
This is not something Howard Schultz has just thought about.
Schultz practices what he preaches as a leader.
He's had two periods of running Starbucks.
The second began in 2008 as America's financial system teetered on the brink of complete collapse, and like many companies, Starbucks was taking a beating.
Schultz turned things around in spectacular fashion.
It worked and profits poured back in their billions.
I asked him what parallels he would draw between running a company like Starbucks and running the country.
He was also very exercised about enabling every American to live the American dream, a motivation driven by his own very underprivileged upbringing in the projects of Brooklyn.
I remember being very impressed by Howard Schultz back then.
He struck me as a smart, innovative and determined man with an unashamedly capitalist zeal but also a genuine social conscience who truly believes in the ideal of the American dream because he was the perfect example of it.
I feel no less impressed by Howard Schultz today, because what he is boldly and courageously saying – at no small risk to the Starbucks brand - needs to be said.
The partisan enmity in US politics has never been worse.
As a result, most political energy on both sides is now devoted to crushing or abusing opponents rather than improving the lives of Americans.
The ever-more-demented Democrats have sucked themselves into the massive misapprehension that lurching to the 'woke', PC-crazed, fiscally ridiculous progressive left is the way to beat Trump.
It's the way to guarantee he gets re-elected.
Incumbent US presidents usually get re-elected anyway.
If they run on a surging economy, as Trump may well do come November 2020, it's almost impossible for them NOT to get re-elected.
So Democrats, whose breath-taking entitled arrogance at the last election cost them victory, should stop screaming at Howard Schultz and start listening to him.
The party needs a moderate candidate who doesn't scare the children or horses, doesn't want to punitively tax the rich or bankrupt the country, and has the balls to stand up to Trump in what will be a ferocious election battle and fight fire with fire.
If all Howard Schultz achieves with his independent campaign is to drive his old party to the correct centrist place to do this, from its current socialist suicide mission, he will have done the Democrats an immense service.
If the Democrats ignore him and keep going down the shrieking socialist route, they may know the price of Cheerios, but they will also be saying Cheerio to their chances of winning back the White House.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Enter Joe Biden? He has the experience and is not far-out left.
I believe the democrats have veered too far left to embrace either Joe Biden or Howard Schultz. For better or for worse, I think we can look forward to another four more years of President Trump.
I must be getting senile. Morgan is starting to make more and more sense to me.
