"I have mesothelioma." This is a phase that most victims of asbestos-caused cancer have uttered, not once but many times. It's difficult to imagine experiencing grief, in the aftermath of a mesothelioma diagnosis, without facing some undesirable emotions. In fact, feelings of anger and depression are not only understandable but expected stages in the grieving process-experienced both by victims of terminal illnesses, like mesothelioma, and their loved ones alike.
The Kübler-Ross Model of Grief is a widely accepted theoretical approach to understanding and categorizing the different parts of the grieving process. It is commonly used by psychologists, grief counselors and nursing care professionals in palliative care and/or hospice environments for treating those suffering from a terminal illness, facing the death of a loved one or experiencing bereavement.
It is normal, after coming out of the initial state of shock or denial commonly experienced by those diagnosed with a terminal condition, to next move into a phase of emotional response identified as anger. According to the Kübler-Ross Model, anger can manifest in a variety of ways and may be directed at many different sources (either separately or all together). Common targets for grief-related anger include oneself, one's higher power and those with whom one is close.
In cases of mesothelioma-induced grief, there are several additional and obvious targets for anger-including former employers, in cases of occupational exposure, and even distant or unknown business entities, responsible for making or supplying the asbestos-containing products that caused one's illness. For these asbestos victims, it is common to share not only the reality of accepting 'I have mesothelioma' but also the list of potential "scapegoats"-many of which are very likely legitimately liable for causing the victims' disease.
Taking action: actually moving forward in a practical sense can help those experiencing grief-related anger move forward emotionally as well; for those affected by illegal or unethical asbestos exposure, seeking mesothelioma legal advice and filing a claim against those responsible can be a very powerful step towards healing and acceptance.

Jack and Shen at Cathedral Point on Mount Kilimanjaro
"What I Learned About Resiliency and Life From Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro"
A trek to the summit of Kili doesn't just push your physical limits. Just ask Jack Groppel, who made the pilgrimage with his son—and two artificial knees. As 2017 comes to a close, he reflects on the journey, and shares what everyone can take away from his experience as we get ready to ring in a new year.
By Dr. Jack Groppel, Ph.D., Co-Founder, Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute December 18, 2017
Did you like reading this story? Click the heart to show your love.
Hellooooooo. Helloooooo!"
It was 10 PM, and this was the wake-up call from our guide, signaling it was time to get dressed and report to the dining tent so we could eat and begin hiking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
We were camping at 15,250 feet, and only getting a couple hours of sleep. The temperatures overnight during our hike to the summit were expected to be around zero degrees Fahrenheit, and we were scheduled to reach the 19,341-foot summit around daybreak the next morning.
I was on this expedition in Tanzania with my 12-year-old son, Shen, whom I'd adopted from China in 2008, three Johnson & Johnson colleagues—Jennifer Bruno, Caren Kenney and Jo Ann Swasey—and various family members and friends.
How to Manage Common Energy Pitfalls Every Decade of Your Life
It was going to be a challenge we'd never forget.
Twenty-five years ago, along with my colleague Jim Loehr, I founded a program dedicated to improving energy management and performance that helps foster sustainable behavior change. In 2008, Johnson & Johnson acquired our venture and it became the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute (HPI).
We train everyone from military members to CEOs on how to be their best selves by maximizing energy and cultivating resilience.
As I climbed Kili, I found myself reflecting back on those early days of HPI, when Jim and I were just beginning to apply our science and training to world-class athletes. A lot of those teachings rang true as I challenged myself in ways I never knew possible.
But Kilimanjaro still had its own lessons to teach.
Bringing HPI Tenets to Life During an Experience of a Lifetime
My son was the youngest member of our expedition and I, at age 65, was the oldest.
The experience was deeply personal for all of us for different reasons. For me, it was a dream come true to not only satisfy my childlike curiosity about Africa, but to also trek with my son and have a true adventure together that we would remember forever.
Jack (center) embarking on the climb
I was also facing an added challenge: putting my two DePuy Synthes Sigma® Total Knee System knees, which I'd gotten in late 2010, to the ultimate test while trekking scores of miles uphill and downhill in an attempt to reach the summit of the highest free-standing mountain in the world—one of the world's continental "Big 7."
Shen and I felt like we'd done everything we could to get ready, and we were aware of what we were getting ourselves into. But Kilimanjaro still offered up surprises.
A mountain of this magnitude creates its own weather system. With each hour, we had to add or shed clothing layers, depending on the temperature; breathe the fine silt dust the mountain threw off with each step; and use our trekking poles to either push steeply uphill or brace ourselves on downhill steps.
"I Designed My Knee Replacement": Meet the Johnson & Johnson Employee Who Benefited From His Own Innovation
It was a constant struggle, and we quickly had to learn to embrace and adapt to the challenges the mountain gave us.
Our Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute training courses teach the importance of balancing stress and recovery, and nowhere was this more profound than on this extreme altitude mountain. When my son and I hiked in the Rockies a month earlier at 12,000 feet, we recognized the need to stop every now and then to catch our breath and acclimate.
We were now hiking at an altitude that was well over a mile higher. Summit night was a slow, tedious climb, which meant taking one or two steps and then stopping to catch our breath as we climbed for nine hours straight through the night.
When you looked up and saw a never-ending string of hikers' headlamps on the innumerable switchbacks going up into the pitch-black, star-studded sky, I felt totally disheartened. But there was beauty interspersed with discouragement.
Every 50-100 meters, my son and I would ask our guide, "Can we find a rock?" This meant we needed to stop for a minute (it was way too cold to linger for any longer), lean against the rock, get a quick drink since the hoses on our hydration packs had frozen solid, have a quick bite of a snack, then go again.
It was an incredibly arduous night of hiking, but one that was made possible by clearly understanding how to manage stress and recovery.
Facing Down Fear—and Embracing the Journey
Even with all the preparation and planning, there were unexpected twists and turns.
Climbers ascending to the summit of Kilimanjaro
For one, I was truly surprised by the amount of fear I felt at times. As a teen, I was an Eagle Scout and basically lived outdoors. I would jump from boulder to boulder in streams and swing across tree limbs.
But this was different. I was definitely nervous when our guides, who were extremely skilled, instructed us to "grab this piece of jagged rock with your left hand, put your left foot on this 2-inch, mud-covered ledge and hold out your right hand while at the edge of a 50-meter drop."
We also had to contend with the sheer amount and intensity of step-ups, step-downs, slippery volcanic scree (gravel), shale plates that would slide when you stepped on them and more.
In the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones was scared of snakes. In one scene, he rolled over in a tomb filled with them, and said, "Snakes. Why does it have to be snakes?" That was me more than a few times. My internal voice was muttering, "Mud. Why does there have to be more mud? More scree. Why does there have to be more scree?"
From Injury to Athlete: 3 Inspiring Stories of Surgical Recovery
I was constantly realigning my internal self-talk to validate or eradicate my emotions.
The phrase that my son and I repeated throughout the trip was a version of the Chinese proverb: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and then the next step, and then …" At the beginning of the trek, we realized that we had a lot of hiking ahead of us. But there were times when you felt it would never end.
On the famous Barranco Wall, for example, we were told it was only 300 meters straight up. However, it looked endless every time we evaluated our progress. On summit night, when you looked up and saw a never-ending string of hikers' headlamps on the innumerable switchbacks going up into the pitch-black, star-studded sky, I felt totally disheartened.
But there was beauty interspersed with discouragement. At about 5 AM on summit day, we saw the curvature of the Earth as the sun approached the horizon. Then, about an hour later, we were treated to an incredibly beautiful sunrise.
But even amongst this awesome beauty was the prospect of becoming truly deflated by the challenges if you didn't consider the question: What matters most right now?
"When we saw the snow-covered mountain emerge from the clouds for the first time, I felt very intimidated, wondering how I could possibly get to the top. I had to shift my thinking to just focus on the next step I needed to take to move forward," said my colleague Caren. "Each day I realized that I was stronger than I thought, that I could push myself further. It wasn't about making it to the top—it was about taking it one moment at a time, feeling gratitude for the incredible experience and focusing on the people in my life that matter the most."
When we were about halfway through the trek, the porters learned I had two artificial knees. They started calling me Chuma Mtu, which means "Iron Man" in Swahili. While my son loved the nickname, it brought pressure because Iron Man could not fail.
Bringing Home Lessons from the Mountain
The sense of family and the trust that developed among our fellow climbers and guides was almost beyond explanation. The guides, and even the porters, would constantly caution us, saying, "Pole, Pole," which means "slowly" in Swahili, to emphasize that we had to go at a snail's pace at times to allow for acclimatization.
Father and son midway through their climb
But the one story of peer support that surpassed all others happened after Shen and I had climbed all night on summit night.
It was about 7:15 AM and we were exhausted. I looked at Shen and he seemed completely dazed. Concerned, I asked, "Shen, are you OK?" No answer. "Shen, you have to answer me. Are you OK?" I persisted. He nodded yes. Then, our guide came back to him and asked, "Shen, do you want to go back?" Shen shook his head no, while a park ranger was looking on.
And then, it happened. From about a quarter mile above, our fellow climbers on the crater rim saw Shen and started cheering and screaming for him. Hearing them, he put his head down and started walking. We made it to the crater rim, and ultimately to the summit of Kilimanjaro. But, without that outpouring of love and camaraderie, I'm not sure the result would have been the same.
"Over the course of our climb, my understanding of what I considered to be my 'family' ultimately extended to include my colleagues, their amazing children, other hikers and all of our incredible guides, porters and cooking staff—all 140 of us that shared this incredible experience," said Jo Ann. "We relied on one another for support, encouragement and inspiration that could often be found in the smallest of gestures. We became personally vested in each other's journey, and drew energy from one another to help make it through the challenging times and celebrate our accomplishments along the way."
Health Partner: The Digital Tool That Can Help You Navigate Your Knee, Hip or Weight-Loss Journey
As we journey through life and business, we need to ask ourselves: What can I do to care for myself and others during times of uncertainty or when things get tough?
"Climbing Kilimanjaro was the hardest thing mentally, physically and emotionally that I have ever done," says Jennifer, who hiked with a new DePuy Synthes Hip System. "I learned I am a lot stronger and resilient than I ever thought I was. I also learned about letting my guard down and letting others help me. When my husband was taken off the mountain with altitude sickness, I was overwhelmed and completely lost. By allowing myself to be vulnerable and rely on the support of my adult children, fellow climbers and their families and our caring guides, I found the motivation and inspiration to make it to the summit."
In our lives, there will be pressure, insecurity and trust issues—and we'll need resilience, teamwork and the right balance of stress and recovery to prepare for surprises and adapt to what life gives us.
On the late afternoon of summit day, and after a somewhat intimidating briefing on summit night expectations, I asked Shen how he felt about everything. His response: "I think you're a little crazy for bringing everyone here."
But, hey, perhaps you need a little bit of insanity to attempt to climb a 19,000+-foot mountain.
When we were about halfway through the trek, the porters learned I had two artificial knees. They started calling me Chuma Mtu (pronounced chooma-meh-tu), which means "Iron Man" in Swahili. While my son loved the nickname, it brought pressure because Iron Man could not fail.
And I didn't. Out of 29 climbers, 26 of us made it to the summit, including all four members of our company team.
As I look back on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I realize that reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro wasn't the true goal. The life lessons we each learned during the trek was the real destination, and that is what made this trip the adventure of a lifetime.
What's your Kilimanjaro? Watch as Jack, captured on camera halfway up his trek to the summit, explains the importance of training for life's challenges—no matter what they may be.

Credit Card Technology Changes Today
October 1, 2015 Crime, Economy, Featured, Retail 3 Comments
By May 2014 the Target on Hampton had these new readers with an EMV slot
Our current credit & debit cards are different than they were decades ago. In the mid-80s, during high school & college, I worked at Toys "R" Us and Dillard's. In those days we made an impression of the credit card to document the transaction, the credit card number was entered manually to get approval. Sometimes we had to call in to get an authorization number.
The magnetic strip on credit cards came later, greatly simplifying transactions. The technology was developed in the late 60s, but it took a long time to get ir on credit cards and for retailers to be equipped to swipe cards rather than complete an embossed charge receipt. Eventually the magnetic strip became ubiquitous. Criminals also found many ways to exploit the weaknesses.
The magnetic stripe on credit cards — which fraudsters can pull credit card numbers and expiration dates from to make counterfeit cards. (NPR)
NPR continues:
Other countries moved beyond this technology years ago. The U.K., Canada and Hong Kong are already using chip-based cards, which are considered more secure. (Magnetic stripe technology is decades old.) Cards using the chip-and-PIN system have an embedded microchip. Instead of swiping the part with a magnetic stripe, you put the card into a terminal, then enter a PIN or sign your name. It's more expensive for criminals to forge these cards, says Brian Krebs, a security journalist who writes for Krebs on Security and broke the story on the breach at Target.
Several of our cards have the new chips, called EMV:
EMV chip technology is becoming the global standard for credit card and debit card payments. Named after its original developers (Europay, MasterCard® and Visa®), this technology features payment instruments (cards, mobile phones, etc.) with embedded microprocessor chips that store and protect cardholder data. This standard has many names worldwide and may also be referred to as: "chip and PIN" or "chip and signature." (Chase)
In 2013 local grocery chain Schnucks was breached, leading many to stolen credit card numbers. National retailers were also hacked. October 1, 2015 — today — was set as a deadline to switch to the EMV cards. However, this wasn't a government mandate.
After an Oct. 1, 2015, deadline created by major U.S. credit card issuers MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express, the liability for card-present fraud will shift to whichever party is the least EMV-compliant in a fraudulent transaction. (CreditCards.com)
So retailers have been updating their credit card terminals to prepare for today's deadline. Yesterday, at IKEA, the restaurant cashier put my EMV-chip card in the slot rather than swipe it. Later, at FedEx Office (aka Kinko's) the terminal had the slot but the employee didn't know when it would be activated. Target recently sent us new EMV RedCard debit cards — but not the RedCard credit cards we currently use. We just got a new credit card within the last couple of weeks — it didn't include an EMV chip. Yesterday the issuer said we'd have replacements by the end of October with EMV chips.
Some retailers, in updating their terminals, have added NFC/contactless capability.
NFC (near-field communication) allows two devices placed within a few centimeters of each other to exchange data. In order for this to work, both devices must be equipped with an NFC chip.
In the real world, there are a essentially two ways this works.
Two-way communication: This involves two devices that can both read and write to each other. For example, using NFC, you can touch two Android devices together to transfer data like contacts, links, or photos.
One-way communication: Here, a powered device (like a phone, credit card reader, or commuter card terminal) reads and writes to an NFC chip. So, when you tap your commuter card on the terminal, the NFC-powered terminal subtracts money from the balance written to the card. (CNET)
My husband's iPhone has been able to utilize this technology for payment for a year, I just got a new iPhone with this ability — ApplePay. Others include Google Pay & Samsung Pay. Confused yet?
Basically you want to avoid your cards being swiped. You want to use cards with a chip by inserting them in the chip readers. Not all retailers have to meet today's deadline. Gas pumps, for example, have until 2017 to be updated.
If you accept credit cards you need to be working on updating ASAP, and training staff to insert EMV cards rather than swipe them. If you use plastic, be aware of the differences and how to use them, If your smartphone can make contactless payments I'd suggest using that. Samsung Pay will even work with older magnetic stripe terminals.
While we have these new EMV cards, our issuers don't yet have the PIN number portion set up, so they're Chip & signature for now.

Readers Opposed To New Missouri Law Commissioning Corporate Security
September 30, 2015 Crime, Missouri, Politics/Policy Comments Off on Readers Opposed To New Missouri Law Commissioning Corporate Security
The results from the Sunday Poll:
Q: Missouri's Public Safety Dept can now commission corporate security advisors, include arrest powers.
Strongly opposed 19 [50%]
TIE 4 [10.53%]
Somewhat support
Somewhat opposed 3 [7.89%]
TIE 2 [5.26%]
Strongly support
Unsure/No Answer
Overall those opposed far outnumber supporters — 68.42% to 21.05%.
The new applies to off-duty or retired police officers that work security for corporations like Anheuser Busch, Ameren, and even Metro.
"Metrolink has officers in that have authority in Missouri and Illinois, some are St. Louis City, some are St. Louis County, some are St. Clair so they're all cross deputized so this simplifies that process," said Hill.
But opponents like Patricia Bynes, the Democratic committeewoman for Ferguson, say the new statute gives security guards too much power.
"When you're a police officer you have a certain jurisdiction that you have to police in, this goes beyond that as long as you work for a corporation in this state you have those powers in the state, that's extremely scary," said Bynes. (KMOV)
I don't see anything good coming from this, only bad. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Parking Enforcement Officer Kept Putting A Blue Bag In A Vehicle Displaying A Fake Ticket
August 31, 2015 Crime, Downtown, Featured, Parking 11 Comments
If you drive & park in an urban area you've likely received a parking ticket one time or another. So it's no surprise that I frequently see tickets on vehicles on my trips to/from the grocery store 7 blocks East of my loft. Earlier this month I noticed the same vehicle parked in the same spot as the day before — with a ticket just like the day before. How unusual.
Thursday August 13th 11:21am, Eastbound Locust between 15th & 16th
Then I noticed a Parking Enforcement car park behind it. Maybe they're about to boot it, I thought. I go to the corner and then across the street so I can get a good view. The woman from Parking Enforcement grabbed a blue bag out of the back seat of her official vehicle and walks toward the ticketed vehicle. I wasn't expecting what happened next.
She opened the front door, unlocked the other doors, opened the back door and left the blue bag on the rear seat. She locks the doors at the front, returns to her official vehicle, drives off. Huh?
A Parking Enforcement Officer (PEO) takes a blue bag from her official vehicle and puts it in the backseat of the ticketed vehicle! Why? What's in the bag? What started as a curiosity about a vehicle getting ticketed for parking in the exact same spot quickly became a curiosity about the connection between this vehicle, the PEO, and the contents of the blue bag.
Tuesday August 18 1:11pm
I thought by now the ticket had to be a decoy, but I needed proof.
Monday August 24th 12:59pm, on the way to the grocery store
At 1:35pm I rolled back the envelope to conform the "ticket" was a blank.
I've documented the fake ticket, but I still needed the bag drop off.
At 3:19pm I'm across the street trying not to look conspicuous — as well as a shaved head guy in a wheelchair can.
At 3:43pm the PEO is getting a blue bag out of her official vehicle.
As before she walks to the other vehicle
3:44pm she opens the driver's door
With the driver's door still open she puts the blue bag in back. She closes the rear door and locked the doors from the front.
3:45pm she's back in her work vehicle about to pull away
At this point I feel I have enough to blog about my observations and report to Parking Enforcement and Treasurer Tishaura Jones. I still have unanswered questions: Is this her vehicle? Is she dropping off her gym bag for after work?
Two days later, Wednesday last week, I go to the grocery store and the vehicle isn't there both times I pass by the space. Five minutes later I go out in front of my building to talk to someone — they've left but I can see the vehicle now parked there. I go down and see it has the fake ticket under the wiper — of course it does!
A man approaches me and starts yelling at me.
"Why you fucking with my car?"
"You'd better mind your own fucking business!"
Then something about being in a wheelchair. By this point I'm leaving — I felt threatened and vulnerable. But across Locust at 16th I turned to look back and take one more photo.
Wednesday August 26th at 12:51pm, the vehicle and guy who threatened me in the distance — he's wearing a red shirt with white shorts & cap. .
Here's a blurry cropped view.
Given that I was threatened I called 911, the police looked at my photos to get the vehicle plate and city number on the parking enforcement car. They talked to the PEO supervisor. I then emailed the head of Parking Enforcement, Tishaura Jones, and her Chief of Staff — a reply said they'd investigate. At this point I don't know anymore than you do.
At the very least this guy and the PEO were in cahoots with the fake ticket, but I think there's much more to the story. When, and if, I find out I'll let you know.
Downtown & Downtown West Neighborhoods Should Be Merged Into One
August 18, 2015 Crime, Downtown, Featured, Neighborhoods, Politics/Policy 13 Comments
Technically Downtown, a city neighborhood, is only East of Tucker Blvd (12th). So much of what we think of as downtown is considered Downtown West.
Map of Downtown West Neighborhood bounded by Chouteau, Jefferson, Cole, & Tucker; click image to view on city website
All of the following are located not in Downtown, but in Downtown West:
Police Headquarters (old & new)
Peabody Opera House
Scottrade Center
Main U.S. Post Office
Soliders Memorial (WWI)
City Museum
Campbell House
Downtown YMCA
Schlafly's Tap Room
Civic Center MetroLink/MetroBus
Transportation Center (Amtrak, Greyhound, Megabus)
But I don't want news reporters outside police HQ to say "Reporting from Downtown West", I think we should combine the two.
From a 1989 Post-Dispatch article:
SECTIONS OF St. Louis have an identity crisis, says Mayor Vincent C. SchoemehlJr. "There's this impression that north St. Louis is some monolithic area that's unfit to live in," Schoemehl said. "Frankly, there're some very good neighborhoods in north St. Louis, as good as any around. But when you hear about a murder or a rape or some other crime occurring in north St. Louis, all the neighborhoods in north St. Louis become tarred with the same brush." The identity crisis has sparked a campaign, beginning this week, that stresses neighborhoods – 74 to be exact. No longer will there just be the North Side, the South Side, the Central West End or downtown. "This is one of our attempts to market the neighborhoods of the city," said Clara Kinner, director of communications for the city's Economic Development Corp. "People should understand that there are several different neighborhoods with several different personalities and attributes," she said. Many, but not all, of the new neighborhood boundaries will coincide with the boundaries set by existing neighborhood associations, Kinner said. (P4, October 15, 1989)
So when the city first created the neighborhood map it had 74 neighborhoods, but currently it is 79:
There are 79 different neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive style and characteristics. Many of these neighborhoods have very active community organizations and associations. Some are on the rebound, while others have remained stable for decades, and still others are striving for renewal. A variety of sources for information about neighborhoods exist, both on and off this website. None of these sources include everything there is to know about a neighborhood, but by putting together information from each of these sources, one may get a sense of the incredible variety of lifestyles available in the diverse neighborhoods of the City of St. Louis. (St. Louis Neighborhoods)
Now you might be wondering if the Downtown West neighborhood association would object to being consolidated with Downtown's NA. Well, there has never been a separate Downtown West neighborhood association. The Downtown Neighborhood Association boundaries had included all of Downtown and about half of Downtown West, but last month their bylaws were amended to expand their boundaries to match both.
The Downtown Community Improvement District boundaries also includes much of Downtown West. Just because people in 1989 wanted to better identify where murders happened doesn't mean we can't alter the map 26 years later. It's time to reduce the 79 neighborhoods to 78!
Readers Not Interested in Poll on Hot Spot Policing
July 15, 2015 Crime 1 Comment
Only ten votes in Sunday's poll, less than a third of the usual number. This could be because 1) I moved the poll location from the sidebar to the body post, 2) because of the topic/phrasing, or 3) a combination.
Q: How effective is "Hot Spot Policing"?
Somewhat good 5 [33.33%]
Good 3 [20%]
Somewhat poor
Neutral 1 [6.67%]
TIE: 0 [0%]
I have no insight into the question, but "Hot Spot Policing" doesn't seem to address the root causes of much of our crime in the areas targeted. Some headlines this year:
January: St. Louis takes another shot at hot-spot policing
February: Hot spot policing effort starts in Dutchtown, Gravois Park neighborhoods
March: Hot spot policing efforts start today in north city
April: Police target south St. Louis neighborhoods in hot spot policing effort
May: Police target five north St. Louis neighborhoods in hot spot policing effort
July: St. Louis reaches 93 homicides for 2015
Perhaps crime would be worse if hot spot policing wasn't used? We shouldn't continue ignoring the root causes though.

Baseball MLB News
Aaron Boone Claims New York Yankees Will Adopt NBA/NFL Approach To Coaching – "Trying To Find The Best"
Published 12/30/2021, 12:54 PM EST
By Aditya Deshingkar
The New York Yankees are running it back after an underwhelming 2021, and coaching is a big feature on the changes. The Yankees roster remains much the same atleast prior to the lockout but the coaching staff has undergone some changes. Eric Chavez has been bought in as assistant hitting coach. And the Yankees aren't done yet.
Change in Coaching Philosophy
Aaron Boone, the Yankees manager, said that the Yankees are moving towards a different type of coaching model. Said Boone,
"I think now we're starting to probably follow more of an NBA/NFL model, where you have coaches that are really good at impacting players."
Boone went on to add that the Bronx Bombers as an organization may have been pigeonholing the coaches appointments. It would no longer be necessary to hire coaches that have big league experience or appointing guys who had a certain checklist.
"Experience matters, what they've done matters,… but we were also probably closing ourselves off to a lot of really great coaches, because in a lot of ways, that was a prerequisite."
He went on to mention that the Yankees weren't looking for a resume of big league experience. They would much rather hire coaches that can affect the play by getting to the players.
"We're trying to find the best coaches and the best people to impact our guys"
"Wherever the Chips Fall…"- New York Yankees Top Prospect Anthony Volpe Reacts to Carlos Correa Signing Rumors
New Appointments to the New York Yankees Coaching Staff
The coaching staff in general seem to lack major league experience. Other members on the coaching staff include former Mets manager Luis Rojas who was only part of the minor leagues as a player.
Other appointments include hitting coach Dillon Lawson, assistant hitting coach Casey Dykes and assistant pitching coach Desi Druschel. All of these have only played till the college level. But what's more key is that they were all part of the New York Yankees plyer development system.
Their philosophy is aligned with the organization's philosophy of analytics and data-driven coaching. Their appointment on Boone's staff is because their coaching worked in the minor leagues.
"If somebody from a coaching standpoint I know is helping me and impacting me, in the end I don't really care how I get it."
Boone is looking to the 2022 season with his head high and with an attitude to make changes. Maybe this can push the Yankees to a World Series run. And maybe a resume isn't necessary to get the performance from the players. But for now we wait and see if this punt by the Yankees pays off.

2:00PM Water Cooler 5/4/15
Posted on May 4, 2015 by Lambert Strether
"Hillary Clinton's smartest move: Say no to TPP, and join the Warren/Krugman forces" [Salon]. When you've lost Salon…. To be fair, this isn't Joan Walsh writing, and the author writes of "the Obama coalition" with a straight face. Still, a straw in the wind.
Orrin Hatch: "We've still got a lot of raindrops to run through here without getting splashed [FT, "Republicans push Barack Obama to rally Democrats for TPP vote"]. Those aren't raindrops, Senator….
"As Hatch explained, at the moment there are too many Tea Party defectors on the right side of the aisle and too few Democrats willing to vote the bill forward. He seemed to suggest that it would be easier for Obama to cajole Democrats to get behind fast track than it would be to budge the Tea Party resisters" [Fiscal Times]. After you, Alphonse….
"House Republican opposition to sweeping trade legislation isn't breaking down along traditional Tea Party-GOP establishment fault lines. …. Most defections, however, will come from rank-and-file conservatives who think it's flat-out dangerous to give Obama any more authority" [The Hill].
Obama meets with New Democrat Coalition: "[Obama] acknowledged it's a hard vote and he made it clear that if any of them needed and wanted him to campaign for them, he would support them on the campaign trail, the staffer said" [KETV]. Obama does have coattails, at least in the Senate.
Pelosi, after lunch with Obama and that meeting: "I don't think enough of our issues have been resolved for us to be having a big movement of votes toward the bill" [The Hill].
Four key Senate Dems: Patty Murray (WA), Dianne Feinstein (CA), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Tim Kaine (VA) [Politico]. Contact information at the links, but remember: Impact correlates to degree of difficulty; in rough order, highest first: Visiting the (district) office, with a group; visiting the district office; letters to the editor, letter to the office; fax to the office; call to the office; email to the office; online petition.
Sanders meet-up search tool [Corrente]. Meetups worked for another insurgent Vermont politician, eh?
The S.S. Clinton
A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 6 in 10 people, or 61 percent, said "honest" describes Clinton only slightly well or not at all [WaPo]. Compared to?
Bill: "The former president said his charity has never done anything 'knowingly inappropriate'" [NBC]. Weasels everywhere: "He stole my words!"
Cruz, Graham, Santorum, Perry, Bush lead the charge against radical Islam in South Carolina [Bloomberg]. Which makes sense, in a way. I mean, South Carolina is on the ocean the millions of 'em would have to swim over. So it makes sense to stay vigilant.
Republican Clown Car
Fiorina to do for the country what she did for H-P [WaPo]. And her campaign forgot to register CarlyFiorina.org, on which her famous "demon ship" ad now appears. To be fair, Fiorina's really angling to be the toast of the Hillary H8ter circuit, which is quite well funded, just as Graham is on the anti-Islam circuit (dittoez). So who am I to be critical of their career choices?
Ben Carson announces: "I don't wander off into those extraneous areas that can be exploited. I have learned that" [WKRC]. Gospel choir sings Eminem.
Attorney who gave Christie a pass on Bridgegate had close ties to Christie [International Business Times]. Shocker! And so what if Christie ends up with plausible deniability? Who picked the staffers — the "Neener Neener" Junior High School-style antic-mongers — anyhow? That would be Christie, candidate for Preznit.
Squillionaire-funded "Change the Rule" effort petitions Commission on Presidential Debates to open debate to one third party candidate [The Hill]. The Green/Libertarian effort would open debate to any party with 270 electoral votes-worth of ballout access.
Gallup Consumer Spending, April 2015: "[U]p from March but down from several monthly averages in 2014" [Bloomberg]. "[T]he trend over the past two years is mixed, without the clear upward trajectory measured in 2012 and 2013."
Factory Orders, March 2015: Up as expected, after seven months of decline, on civilian aircraft and motor vehicles [Bloomberg]. "The pop in March ends the first quarter on a positive note but the early indications on the second quarter, despite expectations of an outsized weather boost, have all been soft." "Orders for capital goods in general were mixed, up only 0.1 percent on the core, which excludes aircraft, and extending their downward slope" [Mosler Economics].
Black Injustice Tipping Point
"'Our demand is simple,' Elzie said. 'Stop killing us'" [New York Times]. It's worth noting that ACT-UP, a very successful movement that somehow nobody remembers, also arose out (among other things) the pervasive death of loved ones.
Ferguson: "[A] City Council that's been grappling with declining revenues voted unanimously in a closed meeting to hire one of the nation's most distinguished and highest-paid trial lawyers to navigate what could be a prolonged and expensive reform process [St Louis Today]. $1335 an hour. Priorities!
Headline: "White House puts kibosh on critique that Obama is 'reactionary' on race" [Politico]. Yeah. I mean, Al Sharpton is a White House emissary!
Fairfax County cops whack Natasha McKenna with her hands cuffed and legs shackled [WaPo]. With a taser. But it did the job!
"For now, the thrust of Texas' strategy is to build major water supply projects. In 2013, voters backed the creation of a $2 billion revolving loan fund to front the money for local entities to pay for the new water projects such as reservoirs and pipeline projects" [Tyler Morning Telegraph].
NRDC: "Water generated from big new storage projects costs substantially more than water from water use efficiency, stormwater capture, groundwater cleanup, and water recycling projects" [Union Tribune].
"Across the state, water agencies including Riverside Public Utilities are offering rebates to homeowners and businesses to take out their lawns and replace them with drought-tolerant plants as part of the campaign to reduce water use" [Press-Enterprise]. So long as they don't also give rebates to Astroturf, which can only increase runoff.
Store the water in the ground!
"Power capacity at Hoover Dam, on the Arizona-Nevada border, has dropped nearly 25 percent since 2000. In California, home to 287 hydroelectric plants and where almost half the state today is classified as being in "exceptional drought," hydropower has fallen 60 percent in the past four years" [Albuquerque Journal].
"Experts say the East Coast's plentiful water could cost cents per gallon to Californians and provide a stable, potable water supply for small communities" [CNBC]. Solution is to deliver by rail, says BNSF (brilliant pure play on drought by Buffet). Better than train bombs, I guess!
New York Senate Leader Dean Skelos arrested on corruption charges [New York Times].
And if Carl Heastie, post-Sheldon Silver era Assembly Speaker, hasn't been indicted, he should be [City and State]. Sheesh, what's a guy like Al Sharpton doing with these jamokes from the Bronx machine, anyhow?
Rahm wants to fund Chicago schools with a casino [Chicago Now]. This scam was tried at the state level in 1989. Since money's fungible, the gambling money went to the schools, alright, but other sources were cut, so the schools were still net losers. Mission accomplished!
Imperial Collapse Watch
"As of mid-April 2015, the UN's World Food Program estimated that twelve million Yemenis do not have consistent access to adequate food [Council on Foreign Relations]. Our friends, the Saudis.
"'Fire at every person you see': Israeli soldiers reveal they were ordered to shoot to kill in Gaza – even if the targets may have been civilians" [Independent]. Our friends, the Israelis.
"[M]any public pension funds committed to private equity have been adopting a more customized approach to PE" [Working Capital Review]. Idea: Instead of outsourcing our retirement to looters and thieves, fund enough to retire in dignity through social insurance.
Buffet re-affirms investment in food-like substances, citing lack of smiles at Whole Foods [Bloomberg].
Chris Hedges: "Make the rich panic" [Truth-Out]. They aren't already?
Andreeson Horpwitz and the changing Silicon Valley investment scene [New York Times]. They act more like a talent agency.
Connecting journalism to civic technology [Medium]. Actually interesting.
"The passive-aggressive war between Krugman and Brooks" [New York Magazine].
"Area Media Company Makes Money" [The Atlantic]. The Onion's business model; they seem to be doing fine without print.
AJ+ reported on Baltimore using only mobile phones [Poynter Institute].
Man's synaesthesia allows him to taste words [Vice]. Say, that happens to me when I listen to Obama!
Eerie sounds from space, 22 miles above the earth's surface [Live Science].
Readers, feel free to contact me with (a) links, and even better (b) sources I should curate regularly, and (c) to find out how to send me images of plants. Vegetables are fine! Fungi are deemed to be honorary plants! See the previous Water Cooler (with plant) here. And here's today's plant (Alex):

Re:Gallup consumer spending. Since it is not seasonally adjustted, month over month readings are pointless. You have to measure YoY. March 2015 was actually $1 less than March 2014. April is $3 over April 2014. That's the best showing so far this year. So consumers have started to spend elsewhere some of that money they haven't had to spend at the gas pump.

Re: Clinton/TPP
Isquith is a Dem/Obama apologist so I read him with an enormous degree of skepticism.
Clinton joining with Stiglitz and Warren in opposing the TPP will be just as phony as her bankster bashing. Isquith is right that the plutocrats and kleptocrats will read it as her being "full of shit" for reasons of political expediency. What he fails to realize or is too sleazy to admit is that the rest of us should view it that way too.
kj1313 May 4, 2015 at 5:41 pm
Yes but I wonder if this is a bit of signaling from the Clinton team. Clinton is craven enough to flip flop to whatever position that is politically expedient.
OpenThePodBayDoorsHAL May 4, 2015 at 6:59 pm
Hard for me to engage in any of the soi disant "drama" of a Hilary "run" for president, Bernie, Elizabeth, her supposed position on TPP, what Salon did or didn't say, etc.
After her coronation we will all just get what we deserve: Bush Term 5, Permanent War, free pass for Wall St crime, expanded domestic spying, more destruction of the middle class, giant health care giveaways to big insurers, blah blah blah.
Just to note: back in my day we got mad and went to the streets to stop a war, throw out a crook president, and completely change the society. Today? We are all just going gently into that not-so-good night.
Mad about it? Get a mirror and start yelling.

So trains could haul water up to Lake Meade, dump it in, and the generated Hydro could power the trains, d'ya think? Is this an Investment Opportunity™? Fracking was such a disappointment.
hunkerdown May 4, 2015 at 4:01 pm
For what it's worth, the local utility districts feeding off of Detroit's water department charge only a penny per gallon. Yet, "centS" is apparently a small price to pay for providing the indispensable social service of externalizing the costs of societal dead-weight onto those who aren't.
different clue May 5, 2015 at 9:35 pm
No pipeline or train attempting to take Great Lakes water to anywhere outside the basin would survive the attempt.
That's when you'd find out for sure what the U.S. dollar was really worth. If Chicago is as shaky as some suspect, and went broke, they could be offered a pittance and might decide it looked better than nothing. I'm concerned about the energy costs. The industry principals in the article thought that shipping over the mountains would be cheap. Hmmm.
Another concern is that flow out of the St.Lawrence River is roughtly the same as out of the Mississippi. The Great Lakes form a huge body of water, but they don't get refreshed very quickly, and while they're faster than most aquifers, water taken out is still gone for quite a while.

So who are the squillionaires behind "Change The Rule"? I see lots of political establishment names, and Peter Ackerman…maybe I'm just not up on the Billionaire Roster (no subscription to Forbes).
New Group Calls For Change In Presidential Debate Rules. (WaPo)
Probably the same squillionaires that saw FDR's long game and understand their larger social purpose (such as it is). The signatories seem to be clustered just along the inner and outer surfaces of the sphere of acceptable discourse. It looks to me like an effort to save the Establishment from itself. Just a little one, since only a little more time is needed for The Market to have entrapped all life forms within its perverse logic.

Re: Hedges
This paragraph struck out at me, especially as it runs counter to the Bernie hype that's been swelling here over the past few days, from Nader no less:
"The only way you can get the parties' attention is if you take votes away from them," Ralph Nader told me by phone. "So," he said of Sanders, "How serious is he? He makes Clinton a better phony candidate. She is going to have to agree with him on a number of things. She is going to have to be more anti-Wall Street to fend him off and neutralize him. We know it is [expletive]. She will betray us once she becomes president. He is making her more likely to win. And by April he is done. Then he fades away."
Jess May 4, 2015 at 4:55 pm
Nader could be correct. OTOH, what if Bernie proves to be a Eugene McCarthy type? What if he pulls such high numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire that he becomes seen as the front runner even if he's technically not? Or what if he actually leads, wins the Iowa caucuses and/or the NH vote? Last time I looked, NH was right next door to Vermont, so almost home field. And if Bernie were to succeed in such a fashion, I'm betting that it would re-energize a whole lot of people who have been sitting on the sidelines to get back in the game with contributions, volunteering, etc.
Not for a minute believing Bernie is a magical solution, but if he hangs in long enough and well enough, he could tap into that simmering populist rage percolating among the great mass of voters.

McCarthy knocked out Johnson but then faded as Bobby Kennedy became the front runner before being shot. There's no Kennedy waiting in the wings now. I think we can all agree that there's not a snowball's chance of Sanders actually becoming the Dem nominee.
Nader's cynicism seems all too justified.

McCarthy knocked out Johnson but then faded as Bobby Kennedy became the front runner before being shot.
And as a result, we got Richard Nixon.

ralef nadyr (mr beirut)…I mean ralph nader, should shut up…
tired old loser that he is……ok…that felt good…better now…
sanders can win by changing the way campaigns are run. The US of A has (thankfully) no parliamentary system (technically) which leads to a big daddy big momma electioneering situation…
third party candidates falter since people have a reasonable question…
how will you govern…
in a parliamentary system, the opposition will have a "shadow" government and the voting public has a clue what they might expect…
If Col. Sanders is gonna make a real run for it…he has to put on the table who he will govern with…pick your cabinet now…and let them be a shadow cabinet, getting people used to what to expect…even if they are not the actual cabinet in the end, they will (hopefully) be able to speak about specific areas of policy and defuse any attacks that may come his way…and will also show his capacity to govern…it is a risk, but the only way to throw off the Karl Roves and Donna Braziles of the world is to throw them something they have never seen before…
then again, it could just be the ithakan in me who likes to confuse the opposition at every turn…
Sounds exactly right to me.

Hedges has written the same article for YEARS and not organized one damn thing. He's nothing but a demagogue.
Nice to see he's finally changed his mind re: rioting, though (first paragraph second page).

"The Green/Libertarian effort would open debate to any party with 270 electoral votes-worth of ballout access."
What clause in the Constitution mentions balls-out?

Ballot – just in case anyone didn't get it.

re Carly Fiorina, don't want you to miss this, so the correct link is here

The lovely lady not only took down the mighty h-p but didn't do lucent any favors during the dot-com bust.
Fiorina had been an executive at AT&T and its equipment and technology spinoff, Lucent, before being chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005 when she was forced to resign.

Great photo, by the way.

Natasha McKenna should set the precedent for punishing breaches of Convention Against Torture Article 16, since the Committee Against Torture specifically cited electrical shock of restrained persons as an example. Under US precedent, no official torturer gets prosecuted for anything unless the victim is tortured to death, as McKenna was. So here's the USG's chance to have something to say for itself in the UPR next week: prosecute criminal scumbag Stacey Kincaid for his torture chamber.
Your Bloomberg Cruz et.al. story actually links to a CFR "backgrounder." At any rate the confab apparently not important enough to make my local newspaper website.
The thing to remember about SC is that while it is quite rightwing, it's a Chamber of Commerce flavor of rightwing. There's not a lot of raving about Sharia law etc. It's more the kind of conservatism that BMW or Michelin executives would be comfortable with. Sanford, the fiscal conservative swinger, could be the archetype.
In other words….it's all about the moolah.
"[Obama] acknowledged it's a hard vote and he made it clear that if any of them needed and wanted him to campaign for them, he would support them on the campaign trail, the staffer said" [KETV].
Treason ought to be a hard vote.
The man who took a 60 vote Democratic senate and singlehandedly brought them down to 44 seats is offering to help the few remaining democrats in the senate with election help? How? by campaigning for their opponents?
There is always room for improvement for 0, do I hear 22 seats? I think all 0 group will hear from demodogs running is the sound of silence.
Lambert Strether Post author May 4, 2015 at 11:25 pm
Well, see the map at the link.
Pat May 5, 2015 at 12:26 am
Typical political wisdom, based on the idea that because he garnered more votes then the Democratic senate candidate in the years where he was running for President means he can convince people to come out to vote for them in a year when he is not on the ballot. This despite all evidence that when there is not a Presidential election people aren't interested. See, those coattails no longer exist because he won't be wearing a coat, but hey why let facts like the depressed midterm turnouts where he wasn't on the ballot get in the way indicate the value of his merely being a campaign ornament for someone. I mean that doesn't help the President pass a flaming turd that destroys our ability to govern ourselves if it gets in the way of some corporations' imaginary profits, but will garner him a highly lucrative "retirement".
God forbid the rest of America have a lucrative retirement, a living wage, a job with benefits, those things are for 'winners' in a completely rigged game.
+ 100.

UK Anime Network - Anime - Panda Z Vol. 1
Author: Ben Moscrop
Ben Moscrop hasn't written a profile yet. That's ruddy mysterious...
Panda Z Vol. 1
I admit it. I was lured to Panda-Z with the promise of a free toy and the expectation of something a bit different. The free toy (a Panda-Z figure) is now sitting on my desk at work, facing off against my cheap Gundam. As for the 'something a bit different' part, well, different isn't quite the word!
Panda-Z is about a cute robotic panda called Pan-Taron, the pilot of a huge panda mecha called (you guessed it!) Panda-Z. Along with his cute robotic friends of the Robonimal world, they fight the evil robonimal robots of the Warunimal empire who seem intent on attacking them.
Each episode is about 5 minutes long (including a hilariously cheesy Bon Jovi'esque rock intro) and is generally just a big excuse to put a bunch of strange, albeit cute characters in ridiculous and funny situations. Some of Pan-Torans adventures see him battling not only evil female mechs that like to fire their breasts as missiles, but also the everyday practical problems of how do you eat batteries with a knife and fork?
Panda-Z has no dialog whatsoever. Instead, the story is told through a series of title cards that pop up in between the animation and each episode is accompanied by a guitar-riff led backing track. This isn't as annoying as it might sound due to the fact that the guitar riffs are different for each episode, which is nice. The animation itself is fine for what it is but don't expect any blistering visuals.
Volume 1 comes with 15 episodes of a 30 episode series, with the running time coming in at around 75 minutes. Yeah, it's short but you get a healthy bunch of extras and a free toy for your money. Whether the actual feature itself is worth the price, I'm not sure. Panda-Z is a hard one to rate because its' success hinges on whether you find the gags funny or not, as there's really little else here. Personally, it had me laughing out loud in places, as well as leaving me just plain confused in others. Would I pay twenty-five pounds for it? No. Fifteen? Probably not. A tenner? Yeah.
The thing that Panda-Z does so well is that it's incredibly easy to watch! Whether you found an episode funny or weird, you can't help but want to play the next episode just to see what happens. After all, it's only five minutes!
Panda-Z is quite generous on the extras front. There's an interview with Shuichi Oshida – the creator of Panda-Z, three CG short episodes and quite a comical hidden feature with Panda-Z battling some real life opponents such as Vanille, the Chihuahua! There are some Beez trailers for Witch Hunter Robin, Eureka Seven, .hack//Legend and My Hime, as well as the textless opening/closing themes.
If you're in the mood for a weird gag anime, Panda-Z is certainly worth checking out. It's maybe not worth the full-whack price but it's charmingly addictive!


To apply for a place for a child starting school for the first time (Reception Class), parents and carers are required to complete a Bishop John Robinson (C. E.) Primary School Supplementary Form which is to be returned to the school office.
A Greenwich Council Common Application Form (CAF) will need to be completed and returned to the Admissions Section of the Council, together with proof of address.
Six schools can be requested and should be listed in order of preference. This form needs to be returned by mid January of the year the child is due to start school.

Q: A very quick way to prove a set is measurable. All examples of non-measurable subset of $\mathbb{R}$ (in the Lebesgue sense) seem to need the axiom of choice in some way or the other. Hence, can we say:

The set $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is measurable because the axiom of choice was not used to define it.

Is that a valid argument? Or does there exist non-measurable sets that do not require the axiom of choice?

Understanding Angelina's Daily Biorhythm Chart
Angelina Jolie is an American Actress, Filmmaker and Philanthropist who has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and has been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress.
She was born on Wednesday June 4th 1975, in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The blue line displays Jolie's physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at her date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of her energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart she is in a physically energized portion of her cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart Angelina is in a low point in her physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate she may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.
The red line represents Angelina Jolie's emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart Angelina is feeling emotionally strong. Her outlook on life tends to be at its best and her interactions with others are most successful. Low points on Jolie's emotional line indicate times when she may need to retreat somewhat. Angelina Jolie is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when she will enjoy the company of others and find expressing her feelings the easiest.
The green line tracks Angelina's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart Jolie's mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for her to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart Angelina Jolie's intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. Angelina might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until she reaches a higher position in her cycle.
The purple line charts Angelina Jolie's varying intuitive (or compassion) strength at different points during a 38-day cycle. When the purple line is near the top, her powers of intuition are at their strongest. During these times Angelina Jolie might even experience moments of serendipity. These high points are times when she should be more willing to trust her hunches. When the purple line is near the bottom of the chart, her intuitive powers are at their lowest. At these times Angelina Jolie might want to shy away from making decisions because "she just knows" and rely on a more analytical approach to decision making.
The aqua line travels the ebb and flow of her 53-day spiritual sensitivity cycle. When the aqua line is at the top of the chart Angelina Jolie is very in tune with her spiritual self. At these times Angelina may reach new heights religiously or experience intense mystical experiences. During periods when the aqua line is near the bottom of the chart Jolie is not particularly in sync with the spiritual side of life.
The yellow line traces Angelina's aesthetic powers through a 43-day cycle. During periods when the yellow line is at the top of the chart Angelina Jolie is most open to the arts as well as being at the pinnacle of her own creative powers. The high points are perfect times for Jolie to express her creative self. During periods when the yellow line is at the bottom of the chart she is not nearly as in touch with her creative self. During these times Angelina Jolie might do well to put her energies into things that do not require large amounts of creativity.
The orange line follows the flux in Jolie's level of self-awareness in cycle of 48 days each. At times the orange line is near the top of the chart she is most in tune with herself. During these periods Angelina Jolie can experience profound moments of self-discovery. During periods in her cycle when the orange line is near the bottom of the chart Jolie is not nearly as connected to her inner-self.

How Can I Get My VA Claim Started?
First of all, in order to receive veterans disability benefits, you must meet the eligibility requirements. The biggest determining factor of this will be proving that you have a disability, and that it is directly related to your military service.
This is not always as easy as it sounds. Often times, veterans are either denied VA benefits, or their rating is too low. With the help of a Boston veterans disability lawyer, there is a much better chance of obtaining these well-deserved benefits.
If you are a veteran and would like to pursue a VA claim or a higher rating, please contact the law offices of Rob & Levine & Associates for legal assistance on the matter. Get started today.


I have been told I am 'difficult to shop for' so I have begun maintaining a 'want list' so those who wish to buy me a gift will automatically find something I'll love.
1000 lumen (burst mode) flashlight.
Why throw out a perfectly good flashlight when you can make it brighter AND last longer!
Let me tell you, the Fenix E41 is awesome and is a great gift for any guy. Even guys who don't see a need for a high end light. Do they go outside at night? If yes, they will have a use for it and grow to love and appreciate it's quality workmanship and reliability. Whether it is stashed in the car and only used in emergencies (use Lithium batteries for that, longer shelf life) or used frequently for menial tasks like walking the dogs or taking out the trash (use high quality rechargeables like Eneloop, they last for ever and won't leak like some alkaline batteries will) – anyone I've given an E41 as a gift has totally marveled at it's performance and beauty.
It's dead simple with a single button control, uses 4 common AAs that virtually anyone has on hand and boasts the widest beam of any 4x AA light I've seen. The 400 lumen high mode lights up nearly all of my back yard and 1000 lumen turbo mode further cuts through any darkness casting everything into near day light.
