City officials of HuntingtonBeach are considering

posting DUI arrestsin the city onFacebook todeter potentialdrunk drivers.According to anews report inThe Los AngelesTimes, Hunting-ton Beach cityofficials believe

that public shamingcould become a worth-

while deterrent for drivers. This

new tactic was proposed shortly after a localnewspaper stopped printing the names of DUIdrivers. It is not clear if they will post a retrac-tion on Facebook if the driver was wrongfullyarrested or not convicted.

This form of public shaming could act as adisincentive, but it could also become a serious problem for someone who was wrongfullycharged with drunk driving in HuntingtonBeach. Should drivers who have been wrong-fully arrested for a DUI endure humiliation thispublicly? Are we under the assumption that lawenforcement officials are always right?

There is no telling what kind of negativeimpact a public posting of a DUI arrest onFacebook can have on a persons personal lifeand career. Do accidents happen...you bet yourdriver's license.

What if a visitor (one of the 11 million we pay millions of dollars per year to attract)leaves his / her hotel room to go out to dinner.In the course of the meal has two glasses ofwine. Leaves, drives back to their hotel butneglects to use the seat belt. Police officestops...DUI citation issues. That person is nowposted on Facebook for their family, employer,colleagues, etc. to view. I can think of a dozenscenario that could and would happen thatwould unjustly and potentially ruin a person'sfamily or business life.

We continue to spend million to attractpeople to Huntington Beach...and we continueto bring national attention to absurd issue likechanging people for their traffic accidentsand this gem. I have an idea...let's post everypoliticians vote on every issue on Facebook,especially when they vote for Tax andFee increases.

OK, why stop here. Lets post all spousalabuse charges, charges of indecent exposure,etc. That should make it all fair! DPG

John Blair, a guitarist with The Eliminators Surf Band, was recently at TheHuntington Beach International Surfing Museum signing copies of the riveting,just-released fourth edition of his hit book, "The Illustrated Discography of

Surf Music, 1961 to 1965."

The fascinating, illustrated work serves as a basic guide to American SurfMusic recordings of the early 1960s. The first edition, which had 52 pages, was published in 1978. But the new edition today has 236 pages, showing thesize of and interest indiscography, which

has grown consider-ably, hinting at howentrenched in PopCulture this musicalgene had become.

The hope is for thisdiscography to repre-sent the majority of allsurf-related record-ings, both instrumentaland entries datedearlier than 1961 andlater than 1965.Although Surf Musicreally didn't exist agenre prior to 1961,several nascent record-ings deserved inclusionas historical references.

There are wonderfulnostalgic photos of records, musicians, singers, posters, cartoons and much morethat will fascinate you, whether you experienced this era or not. John Blair did amasterful job compiling this much appreciated keepsake.

The book is available at The Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum- 411 Olive Avenue in Huntington Beach.

John Blair (Author) with Linda Miller

(Huntington Beach International Surfing

Museum Events Director)

"The Illustrated Discography of SurfMusic, 1961-65" Has "Wow"

"The Peacocks Of Palos Verdes" is an exciting new book that's getting ravereviews. Written by Mary Jo Hazard, a Marriage Family Therapist, the colorfulbook talks about one of the most stately and proud birds around. Some of their fansreach six feet high. Every long feather is marked with an"eye." The shrill voiced fowl perch on fences and rooston trees. Their trains hang down and swing in thebreeze. You'll love the beautiful photos.

The fun and informative book explainsthat peacocks have graced theseaside community for more thanmany years. In 1916, Frank Vander-lip, the peninsula's first developer,was given six pair of peafowl to"liven up" his quiet home inPortuguese Bend. The birdsloved the peninsula andtheir families grew andpopulated new territories.

Amazingly, when thesun goes down, the peacocks return to theirtrees and, when they aresettled, they give one moreshout, "Good night. Sleeptight and don't fall out!"

Today, when you are in PalosVerdes you'll see Peacocks in the canyons and neighborhoods. Bravo to Mary Jofor her insightful and entertaining book. I recommend this book. The cost is $14.99.You can learn more about it at http://www.peacocksofpalosverdes.com . This wouldmake a good gift.

Great New Book On

Peacocks in Palos Verdes

I've never understood this. Cananyone help me with this. And,

please go beyond the usual tripeof being a rich nation and having re-sponsibility to help the world. It'sexpensive enough being the worlds

police force.

Fellow Americans, we'reBROKE! The economy sucks,we're about to raise taxes again andhealthcare cost are about to go tothe moon.

We're "broke" & can't help ourown Seniors, Veterans, Orphans,Homeless etc...

For example, in the last monthwe have provided aid to Haiti,Chile,and Turkey...and pardoned afew too.

Our retired seniors living on a'fixed income' receive no aid or getany breaks while our governmentand some religious organizationscontinue to pour Hundreds of

Millions of $$$$$'s and Tons ofFood into Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of adoptablechildren who are shoved aside tomake room for the adoption of

foreign orphans.

USA, a country where we havehomeless without shelter, childrengoing to bed hungry, elderly goingwithout 'needed' meds, and men-tally ill without treatment -etc,etc...

YET.....................we give moneyto 150 nations in the world andto the United Nations. OK, someof it is really needed for nationalsecurity, but how about domestictranquility, peace of mind andsocial and moral justice?

Just Imagine if our *GOVERN-MENT* gave 'us' the same supportthey give to other countries...at least...what if, there were a

better balance.

We need a domestic PeaceCorps, we need to be able to morefreely adopt our own. We need a

better way to spread the wealththan continued taxing the few to

give to the many.Sad isn't it? Got spunk...sharethis thought and blanket thecountry with this comfortingmessage of hope.

Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together atthe airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, 'I love you,and I wish you enough.'

The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Yourlove is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.'

They kissed and the daughter left. The Father walked over to the windowwhere I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. Itried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomedme in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye tosomeone knowing it would be forever?'

'Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, butwhy is this a forever good-bye?'.

'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have chal-lenges ahead and the reality is the next tripback will be for my funeral,' he said.

'When you were sayinggood-bye, I heard you say, 'Iwish you enough.' May I askwhat that means?'

He began to smile. 'That's awish that has been handeddown from other generations.My parents used to say it toeveryone...' He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it indetail, and he smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we werewanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things tosustain them.' Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he werereciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright nomatter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit aliveand everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joysin life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through thefinal good-bye..

He then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE

To all my fiends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH

- Were Broke -

I wish youenough 4

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability

to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that

our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of

other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on chal-

lenges that would make many of us wither.

I like to think that I am such a person:

QUOTE FROM DaveG:

"I've often been

asked, 'What do you

old folks do now that

you're retired?' Well...

I'm fortunate to have

worked for a huge

chemical company for a

lot of years and one of

the things I enjoy most

is converting beer, wine

and scotch into urine. I

do it every day and I

really enjoy it."

I try to be an

inspiration to us all.

Age with Me and see if you Agree...

ALive interactive discussion connected studentsfrom the US with students around the world;Hosts of the Discovery Channels

MythBusters, Dean Kamen, Sally Ride, Bill Nyethe Science Guy and others participated in thistechnology-teasing event.

Recently, Time Warner Cable will hosted a liveinteractive online town hall called Math, Science andthe Future of Our Nation, moderated by former VicePresident Al Gore. This unique event is part ofConnect a Million Minds (CAMM), Time WarnerCables philanthropic commitment to connect youth toideas, people and opportunities that will inspire themto pursue education and careers in science, technology,engineering and math (STEM).

The town hall connectyoung people from

across the United Stateswith students

from around the world, and with internationally knownscience and technology leaders including inventorDean Kamen, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage,co-hosts of the Discovery Channels MythBusters,TVs Bill Nye the Science Guy, and astronaut SallyRide. The discussion focused on attitudes amongAmerican youth toward math and science, and how toinspire and motivate them so they will be successful ina competitive global marketplace.

Simultaneous viewing parties were conductedin 16 Time Warner Cable markets across the country,including one in Fountain Valley at Masuda MiddleSchool). Following the Global Online Town Hall,students at Masuda Middle School participated in a

discussion withadults who usescience, tech-nology andmath in theirfields.

Panelists include Jamie Knight, Director,Commercial Recording Arts Department, HuntingtonBeach High School; Kati Patonai, EducationCoordinator, Bolsa Chica Conservancy; and PaulPooler, Director of Education, Discovery ScienceCenter. The Fountain Valley discussion was moderated

by Nino Polizzi, founder and president of RocketScience Tutors (www.rocketsciencetutors.com), anall-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to

improving STEM education in America by generatingexcitement with real-life engineers in the classroom.

I had the pleasure of attending this event. Powerful,memorable and above all timely are some of the

words I would use. The challengeplaced on the table was how do westimulate our youth to take up themantel of Math & Science in aworld full of competitive sports,award banquets, athletic scholar-ships and about all peer approval.

Also, the system...education systemneeds to place more emphasison academics...at the samelevel as they do sports. This isa significant challenge.

Then there is the issue of howwe all take technology forgranted. We just buythings...plug them in and playwith them. The concept ofhow they work goes beyondout capacity to deal with...

especially our youth. Every year a new phone comesout -then a competitor improves upon it and add severalnew features...what do we do...we buy and use them.

How do we continue to excite the young mind as towonder why and how they work and more important...towant to learn and improve on what they see.

Let's tank Time Warner for helping us understand thechallenge. TWC's John Borack makes it local,

personal, professional and always focused on how tomake life in this region of the world better.

There reaches a point where a parent musttrust that the guidance theyve providedthis far has empowered the child to

tackle their own challenges going forward.How is a child ever supposed to mature into anindependent and responsible individual if the

parents keep making all the decisions forthem? All parents must eventually let go inorder for the child to grow up.

There also reaches a point where ourgovernment and the Federal Reserve must letgo of their stranglehold over financial markets.Last month the Federal Reserve announcedit would be releasing a second round ofquantitative easing, or QE2. The initial impactof this announcement created a bullishness

towards bonds and treasuries, which loweredrates. However, this bullish sentiment was

based purely on expectations which have sinceproven to be false. The backlash over QE2has created an almost panicky sell-off of alltreasuries, including mortgage bonds. The endresult drove mortgage rates up by 0.25% inunder 48 hours. Mortgage-backed securitiesclosed out the week at exactly the same levelsthey were at before the Fed announced QE2.The upward pressure on rates carried overinto Monday, posting the largest single-dayincrease in rates since June of 2009.

In other words, the Federal Reserve justspent $600 Billion to temporarily lowermortgage rates only to have them end up in a

worse position two weeks later. And

this is probably not the end of ratedeterioration. As the United Statescontinues to print dollars with no visualend in sight, the value of a singleindividual dollar within that growing

pool of currencies gets diminished. Thisis inflation; and as Ive written over andover again, inflation is public enemynumber one for long-term fixedinvestments such as mortgage bonds.

In todays global economy, ourinflationary risks are magnified whenother economies implement monetary

practices whichconflict with ourown. France andEngland both madeheadlines last weekdue to riots overtheir austeritymeasures. However,those countries aresimply making thetough decisionsnecessary to balance

a budget during tougheconomic times.

Although the residentsof those countries might

be upset over certain budget

cuts, those cuts willstrengthen theircountries curren-cies and ensurethey remain aneconom i ca l l yviable force inthe future.

China also is making moves to hedge offinflation and prevent their currency fromfalling. As the dollar continues to lose valuethese countries (and others) are already callingfor the dollar to be replaced as the globalcurrency. Dont be surprised if gold a nd oil aresoon traded in Euros or Chinese Yuan. Ifthe dollar is replaced in this manner, the costsof these core commodities will face further

increases. So what well be looking at is aneconomy similar to what existed duringCarters administration: Property valuesdropped, unemployment was high, core priceswere up, and rates were astronomical. Manyeconomists agree that this is the path wereheaded down if we continue to spend ourway to economic recovery.

So the Federal Reserve is not quite ready tocut the umbilical cord and let the economystrengthen on its own. Instead they continue to

pay for the childs mistakes, racking up recordcredit card debt along the way as they fuel thechilds bad habits. Eventually the parent willget out of the way and enable the child tomature enough to leave the nest. The economywill strengthen on its own. My only questionswhen this happens are these: How big isthe credit card bill going to be, and whosgoing to pay it?

Hugh Collins ...from AOL News reports..."Anew 30-second test could allow doctors to spot theearly signs of Alzheimer's.

Researchers have found that many adultsin their 40s show tiny lesions in parts of the br ain.Alzheimer's patients typically have lesions insimilar parts of the brain, only they aremuch larger.

A simple test of physical reactions andmemory could help doctors identify adults withthe lesions and so catch potential Alzheimer'ssufferers early. The test could be availablefrom general practitioners within two years, theresearchers said.

NEWSY NEWS 55

Three lives have been lost due to domestic violence in Orange County, California. It is believed that a 40-year-old man killedhis 46-year-old wife and their 8-year-old daughter. He then committed suicide. The Orange County Register reports thatthe apparent murder-suicide took place at a Fountain Valley home on November 5, with a woman being shot in the driveway

and the man and child dying inside the house. Police found several other individuals hiding in a bathroom in the house.

According to the article, law enforcement believes a child custody dispute may have played a factor in the domestic violence anddeaths. The woman filed a petition to dissolve the couples marriage last month. However, no specific custody arrangement had beenestablished. Police officers arrived at the scene after receiving reports of domestic violence.

Violent incidents similar to this story raise many questions, pose unimaginable challenges to grievingfamily members, and can send waves of shock through a community.

There is evidence to suggest that those with high I.Q.s stay up later and sleep later.

Researchers from the London School of Economics have found that people with high I.Q.s are more likely to be night owls,whereas folks with lower I.Q.s are more likely to wake up early and function their best during the day. Otherstudies have found a link between "eveningness" and getting good grades in school.

However, all is not well with those who burn the midnight oil. People who are disposed to staying up late areless reliable and more likely to suffer from depression and various addictions when compared to early risers.

So maybe the old adage should just be early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, but not necessarily wise?

Ghost Bikes are small and somber memorials for bicyclists who arekilled or hit on the street. A bicycle is painted all white and lockedto a street sign near the crash site, accompanied by a small plaque.

They serve as reminders of the tragedy that took place on an otherwiseanonymous street corner, and as quiet statements in support of cyclists'right to safe travel.

The first ghost bikes were created in St. Louis, Missouri in 2003, andthey have since appeared in over 100 locations throughout the world. Forthose who create and install the memorials, the death of a fellow bicyclisthits home. We all travel the same unsafe streets and face the same risks;it could just as easily be any one of us. Each time we say we hope tonever have to do it again but we remain committed to making these

memorials as long as they are needed.

We all know we need to eat our veggies,especially with the new wave of processedfood companies touting how

their sauces and canned pastas nowcontain a full days allotmentof vegetables but IvaYoung thinks thats just abit deceiving.

Its a tricky definition ofterms, said Young, authorof Healthy Mom(www.ivayoung.com). Itsreally not as healthy to eatprocessed foods to begin with,but for them to say that usingvegetables as fillers somehowmakes processed foods healthyis disingenuous, at best. Its likesaying dont pay attention to all thechemicals, dyes and sodium we put in the can theresvegetables in there, too, so that makes it all okay!

Young believes that we need to eat actual vegetables ifwe want to have a real healthy diet, and there are five key

veggies that top her list as the healthiest. They include:Spinach Popeye was right. Spinach is an excellent

source of Vitamin K, Vitamin A, manganese, folate,magnesium, iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B2, calcium,potassium and Vitamin B6. Its also a good source offiber, copper, protein, phosphorous, zinc, Vitamin E,omega 3 fatty acids, niacin and anti-oxidants.

Lettuce (greenleaf, red leaf, romaine) Lettuce isa low calorie fiber food that is also a great place to findVitamin A, folic acid, lactucarium (which helps enhancecalmness and pain relief), as well as the antioxidantslutein and zeaxanthin. Lettuce also contains a goodamount of anti-cancer properties.

Boccoli Besides having great flavor and texture,Broccoli contains copious amounts of Vitamin A, VitaminC, beta carotene and Vitamin K. The minerals in broccoliinclude calcium, potassium, iron and folate. A greatsource of fiber, broccoli also provides lots of

bioflavonoids, which is an antioxidant that helps protectagainst cancer and heart disease.

Bussels Spouts A staple in the dietsof Asian cultures, who are among the

longest lived people in the world, thecrunchy garnish contains lots ofpotassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A,

beta carotene and Vitamin K.

This is another greatanti-cancer vegetable.

Cabbage Althoughbest known as the partnerof corned beef on St.Patricks Day, cabbage is agreat low calorie food that

contains a good amount offiber, calcium and Vitamin C.

Cabbage is incredibly packedwith substantial anti-cancer agents.

When picking vegetables, Young believes that fresh andfrozen vegetables are better than canned vegetables,because they have less added salt. If you have to buycanned vegetables, she recommends draining the water

they are packed in before preparing them to remove agood amount of the added sodium, or simply buy thoseveggies labeled as having low sodium.

Broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts also containglucosinolates, which are known for their chemoprotec-tive agents against chemically-induced carcinogens by blocking the initiation of tumors in the liver, colon, breasts and pancreas, she added. These anti-cancercompounds are released more effectively when youchop those vegetables before serving, and serving themraw increases the anti-cancer benefits even more.

With all this said it is most important to be aware thatYoung has found in her research that the vitaminnumbers go up when vegetables are cooked, but theanti-cancer compounds go down. Young suggestssteaming or roasting on a pan for no more than 7minutes, which has proven to be a good way to keep theanti-cancer compounds and make it more edible.

Ayoung lady at Harbour ViewElementary named Taryn masterminded a significant local fund

raising event. Taryn is a 9 year, old 4thgrader at Harbour View Elementary andthought of this idea because her Grammiehas Breast Cancer .

Taryn raised $479.00 for Susan G KomenFoundation. Taryn sold a lot of her ownbooks. She shopped for "deals" and on-saleitems, then re-sold them for amark-up. She asked for extra chores athome to make money. She basically wentnon stop with inventing new Ideas.

Harbour View honored her atASSEMBLY making her the HERO of theday and a representative from SusanG Komen Foundation presented her witha certificate of appreciation and a SusanKomen back pack. This was the firstannual...she is looking forward to manymore successes.

Dear Earth-

Talk: Is it truethat environmental

factors could be playing a role in theincreasing number of prostate cancer cases in

the U.S. and elsewhere?Joshua Godon, New Yok, NY

Prostate cancer is a growing problem for menin the U.S. as well as in other de veloped nationsaround the world. Some 40,000 Americanmen lose their battle with prostate cancer everyyearthe only cancer more deadly for U.S.men is skin cancer. Age is the primary riskfactor for developing prostate cancer. One outof every six American men over the age of 40will develop prostate cancer, while four out of

five over 80 years old will get it. Of course,genes also play a big role. The AmericanCancer Society reports that a mans prostatecancer risk doubles if his father or brother hassuffered from the disease. Researchers believea genetic predisposition accounts for as many as10 percent of all cases of the disease in the U.S.

Beyond age and genetics, though, environmen-tal factors do likely play a role. WebMD reports,for instance, that prostate cancer occurs about 60

percent more often in African American men thanin white American men, and when diagnosed ismore likely to be advanced. But interestinglyenough, prostate cancer rates for African menliving in their native countries are much lower.When native Africans immigrate to the U.S.,however, prostate cancer rates increase sharply.

According to WebMD, the reason for thesedifferences are not fully understood, but anenvironmental connectionpossibly related to

high-fat diets, less exposure to the sun, exposureto heavy metals, infectious agents, or smoking

might be to blame. Some new researchsuggests that a switch to a diet high in fat could

be a significant contributing factor in thesecases. The disease is much more commonin countries where meat and dairy products aredietary staples, adds WebMD.

The take-away for men concerned about prostate health is to eat healthier. Severalstudies suggest that a diet high in lycopene (anantioxidant found in high levels in tomatoes,

pink grapefruit, watermelon and some otherfruits and veggies) could lower an individualsrisk of developing prostate cancer significantly.

Researchers have also found links betweenother environmental factors and prostatecancer. Dr. Matthew Schmitz, a prostate cancerspecialist at Bostons Massachusetts GeneralHospital and the prostate cancer guide at

About.com, reports that exposure to highlevels of cadmium (a naturally occurring ele-ment used in industrial processes and presentin cigarette smoke) as well as dioxins(chemicals widely used in herbicides and otherapplications) have been linked to increased

prostate cancer risk. Other researchers havenoticed that men who take calcium supplementsand multi-vitamins regularly may be at higherrisk. Schmitz says that more research is neededto learn how risky such exposures really are.

For those who do get prostate cancer, somepromising new treatments will be undergoingclinical trials soon. Dr. Marianne Sadar ofthe BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver, Canada,has used an experimental drug adapted from

sea sponges to shrink cancer tumors in mice.It will be a year before the U.S. Food andDrug Administration permits trials of thenew drug on humans, but prostate patients andtheir doctors are holding out hope that thisand other new treatments can obviate the needfor many surgeries.

Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrive! Thenew Beaujolais has arrived! ~

The region of Beaujolais is 34 miles longfrom north to south and 7 to 9 mileswide. There are over

4,000 grape growers inthis region witch is justnorth of Frances thirdlargest city of Lyon, justsouth of Burgundy,home to Pinot Noir andChardonnay.

At one past midnight onthe third Thursday of each November, from little

villages and towns likeRomanche-Thorins, over amillion cases of BeaujolaisNouveau begin their journeythrough a sleeping France toParis for immediate shipment toall parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: LeBeaujolais Nouveau est arriv!"The New Beaujolais hasarrived!" One of the most frivolousand animated rituals in the wine world has begun.

Beaujolais Nouveau is made from the GamayNoir grape which is grown, harvested, fermentedand bottled in the same year. There are very fewwines that are produced, bottled and released withina few weeks of harvest and this wine is a

winner. The official date of release is the thirdThursday of November.

In order to achieve this feat of wine making,a technique called carbonicmaceration also known aswhole berry fermentation isemployed. Basically, thefermentation of grapesoccurs inside the skins. Intraditional red wine mak-ing; the process beginswith the crushing of theberries and fermentationbegins in the juice, thejuice is left sitting in itsgrapes skins in orderto extract tannins andcolor. In carbonicmaceration thegrapes are notcrushed but arepiled high in theirfermentation tanks

and filled with carbondioxide. The weight of the grapes

on top begins to crush the bottom grapes andfermentation takes place.

What we have left is a pinky-red, fresh,fruity lightweight wine that is meant to be drunkimmediately, certainly within its first year.

For food pairing the timing could not be betterwith Holiday and food events Beaujolais is perfect

with Turkey and cranberry sauce. It will also workwell with any cheese appetizer before dinnerespecially Gruyere. Serve chilled or around 55degrees Fahrenheit, or ignore all the snobs and evenad an ice cube!

Around 49 million liters of Beaujolais Nouveauare produced each year, making up nearly half ofthe region's total wine production. About half ofthis is exported, with Germany and Japan thebiggest markets, followed by the USA.

You can pick up a Beaujolais Nouveau at BevMo,Hi Times and The Wine Club for around $10 a bottle.

Enjoy and give thanks to Beaujolais Nouveau!

Drew Phillips says..."Ford has yet to officially release|pricing for the 2012 Mustang Boss 302, but a forum

member over at TheMustangSource.com withsome inside information has revealed that thespecial edition pony car will retail for

$40,995 including destination and delivery.This places the Boss 302 almost squarelyin the middle between the Mustang GT andthe Shelby GT500.

While certain things like a navigationsystem won't be available, Boss 302customers will have a few options to

choose from. Recaro seats and a Torsendifferential adds $1,995, an Accessory Pack-

age with floor mats and car cover go for an extra$475, and Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat paint is an additional

$495. The track-oriented Laguna Seca Package comes in at a grand total of $47,990.

At first we weren't sure about the complete accuracy of the information, but a representative at Ford has confirmedthese numbers and options. So is the 2012 Boss 302 a steal at $40,995 or is that crazy money for a hopped up pony car with a live

rear axle? Let us know in the comments below."

It's been an achingly long, three-yearslog up until this point, but Chevrolet hasfinally taken the wraps off the production version of the 2011 Ca-

maro Convertible ahead of its big day at the LA Auto Show.

The somewhat small images posted on Facebook give us our firstview of the drop-top pony car with its canvas roof in place, but otherthan that, the 'vert is exactly what you've come to expect. Both V6 andV8 models will be available at launch, with the six-pot RS putting out312 horsepower and the range-topping LS3-equipped SS producing 426

ponies. Sales are set to begin this March, with an entry-level price tagof around $30,000.

You don't have to have beencommitted to have seen theinside of the notorious Oregon

State Hospital. That's because thereal-life mental institution was used asthe set for the Oscar-winning classic"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

It turns out the facility was as muchof a house of horrors off-screen as itwas on. A federal investigation ofthe Oregon State Hospital two yearsago uncovered widespread abuse and

neglect of patients, and the structureitself was found to be ridden withtoxic paint, asbestos, bird droppingsand rodents. A separate investigationfound the cremated remains of 3,600patients in corroding copper canisters.

"You can see the place wherethey showered. You can see theirscratchings on the wall," OregonSenate President Peter Courtney toldthe Associated Press. "They livedthere. And then often people forgot

them. They just took themthere and it was over."

But beginning nextyear, all the hospital'sinmates will be transferredto a brand-new facility,featuring fresh food, arttherapy and more outdoorspace. There's even a wingthat mimics a city complete with a post office, abank and a hair salon sothe patients won't feel likethey're losing touch with thereal world.

Until fairly recently, thosewho were institutionalizedwith mental illness tendedto be treated in an inhumanemanner, and this upgrade atthe Oregon State Hospitalprovides a symbolic end tothat long and regrettable erain mental health care.

However, Nurse Ratchedwill live forever on DVD.

At theend ofl a s t

season, MLBand the Players

Association announced changes to the freeagent and salary arbitration calendar. TheMLBPA issued a press release touting severalchanges designed to address its concerns withthe conduct of the clubs in the free agentmarket during the previous two off seasons.

Included among the substantivechanges was this: Restrictions on theabilities of the Clubs, players andagents to conduct

their free agentnegot i a t i onsthrough useof the media.Presumably, theMLBPA wasconcerned that clubscould circumvent thecollusion rules bytalking to one anotherthrough the press.

No details have beenforthcoming, but therestrictions, whatever theyare, are ludicrous, not tomention unenforceable, atleast against the players andagents. MLB has long had theability to silence club employeesand has done so on anumber of oc-casions, mostfrequent lyduring labornegotiationsor when

negative comments have been made againstumpires. But did anyone really think the unionwas going to muzzle the seemingly ubiquitousScott Boras?

The Baseball Winter Meetings are ontap for Orlando next week and what woulda Winter Meeting be without Boras surrounded by his entourage and fawning me-

dia types - pontificating inthe hotel lobby? But

we didnt have towait that long forthe restrictions to

be renderedm e a n i n g l e s s .

Shortly after thefree agent marketopened for busi-ness, there wasBoras beinginterviewed onMLB NetworkRadios InsidePitch extollingthe virtues of hisfree agent clients,including Adrian

Beltre I wouldhave to say that in all

my years of doingthis, Ive neverhad so much inter-

est in one player- and JaysonWerth, whom

he compared to Dwight Evans, a not-so-subtlepitch to the Red Sox brass.

Nor was Boras the only agent whocommented publicly about his clients. CaseyClose said he was baffled at the hard-linenegotiating stance taken by the Yankeeswith his free agent client, Derek Jeter, whomhe compared to Babe Ruth in the pantheonof Yankee icons.

We shouldnt have expected any less fromthe agents. But it isnt just the agents whoare ignoring the gag order. Shortly after thegeneral managers meetings ended, YankeesGM Brian Cashman, joined by owners Hankand Hal Steinbrenner along with team pit bullRandy Levine, began trashing Jeter in the

press. As the unseemly public negotiationsdeteriorated, Cashman told the world Jeterwas free to test the market to see if hecould better the teams reported 3-year,$45 million offer.

Whether the restrictions were sought by theclubs in order to prevent agents from playingone team against another, or the union wasattempting to keep clubs from putting adamper on offers to the players, its obvious

both sides failed to achieve their goals.

When will it beMiller's Time?

Ocean View High School is showing strongacademic improvement with a program theyvenamed Embedded Tutorial. The administrationand teaching staff have agreed to change the bellschedule to include 20 minutes at the end of each period for tutoring and support. During theseadded 20 minutes, a teacher may decide to havestudents take a quiz on the material presented inthat period and re-teach the material if necessary,or give the students extra time to make up a test,finish homework or review an assignment. Theteacher may also elect to hold some students inclass while allowing others, who have shown thatthey have mastered the material, to be releasedfrom class for a supervised break. Mr. Dan Bryan,school principal, has called the program a niceway to incentivize learning.

The program has been in place since thebeginning of the school year, and it has already produced some dramatic results. The 9-weekgrading period has shown a 42% drop in Ds andFs since the same grading period last year.

According to Mr. Bryan, Its simple, itselegant and it will work. Clearly, it already has.
