Uncle Sam’s Help – Home Repairs

Thousands of homes across the country are echoing with the sounds of repairs, thanks to the expanded federal spending for weatherization assistance for homeowners and increased tax credits for those who improve their energy efficiency.

Stimulus funding bolsters the U.S. Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program with $5 billion to be spent during the next one to three years.

To put weatherization within reach of more low-income homeowners, the government raised the programs eligibility limits – they had varied from state to state – to 200 percent of the poverty level. That’s income of $21,660 for an individual and $44,100 for a family of four (higher in Alaska dn Hawaii).

Priority is given to people over 60, people with disabilities and families with children. Final eligibility is determined at the local level.

Grand Old Man of American Politics- Ted Kennedy Dies.

iNewsUSA — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:13:15 +0000

CHICAGO. August 27, 2009. Two weeks after the death of his sister Eunice, Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy (February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009) has died of brain cancer at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass. He is survived by his wife Victoria, his sister Jean Kennedy Smith, and his three children.

All the facts of his life are on Wikipedia, good and bad. Many headlines and bi-lines deal with the sad and the sordid from the death of his brothers, “Bobby” and “Jack” to his involvement in the Chappaquiddick tragedy. But take those away and you still have one of the most influential politicians of his time. He truly was a Lion of the Senate. Many of the 300 plus bill he put forward were enacted into law. He was Chairman of and served on some of the most important influential Committees in the U.S. Senate. He was its second most senior member and the third longest serving member of all time.

From the cradle to the grave he was groomed for high office and although he was unsuccessful in his bid for his party’s nomination as Presidential Candidate in a political sense he never failed his party or the people. He was one of the few politician to grow stronger the more time passed. He was a man of great vision and principle. His support and endorsement of the presidential candidacy of Barak Obama, was pivotal in getting him elected.

In a letter/email to his supporters the President said that he “and Michelle were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of (his) dear friend”.

He went on to say “In the United States Senate, I can think of no one who engendered greater respect or affection from members of both sides of the aisle. His seriousness of purpose was perpetually matched by humility, warmth and good cheer. He battled passionately on the Senate floor for the causes that he held dear and yet still maintained warm friendships across party lines. And that’s one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy….Today, our country mourns. We say goodbye to a friend and a true leader who challenged us all to live out our noblest values. And we give thanks for his memory, which inspires us still“.

The body of Ted Kennedy will lie in repose at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston Mass. A procession on Friday, August 28, will travel from the library to the Mission Church in Boston, where a funeral mass will be held. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery near the graves of his brothers.

A Political Giant is not an inappropriate description. He was respected by friend and foe alike. The world of American politics will be much the poorer for his passing.

Cubs show they’re not throwing in season towel as they beat Dodgers.

iNewsUSA — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:46:34 +0000

LOS ANGELES. August 23, 2009. It was the final game of the season for the Cubs in L.A. and Dempster was in the driving seat. The question was would he be able to drive handfuls of unhitable pitches at the inform Dodgers whose machine appears to be headed towards the play off.

The first innings was a scoreless situation which the Cubs had the better of. They got two men on but D Lee grounded into a double play and next up Ramirez popped out. Ethier doubled for the Dodgers but Dempster got three out before they could score.

In the 2nd Jake Fox homer’d to give the early lead to the Cubs and when it was the Dodgers turn Aramis Ramirez erred. As a result Kemp got to 2nd base. Abreu then singled to get the RBI and it was the same Kemp who got in for the score. Ouch! I hate it when walks or errors score. When the 2nd ended it was tied at 1-1.

The stalemate continued thru the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

In the 6th Aramis made amends for the error and hit a nice triple off a Billingsley pitch. Fukudome drove out a double (28) to get Aramis home. Jake Fox then singled to get Fukudome home. Fourth up Fontenot reached on a fielders choice but Fox was out. Koyie Hill then grounded into a double play. The Cubs at bat over. It was 3-1 for the Cubs. The measure of the pitching battle was that at this point the Cubs had 9 hits and the Dodgers only 3.

The Dodgers 6th at bat saw Ex-Cub Pierre, who was pinching for Billingsley, get a single. The news came thru that the St Louis were 5 runs to the good in San Diego in the 6th. Who cares! Not much the Cubs could do about that. They had to concentrate on their own game. And they did. Fontenot took a flying dive to stop a solidly hit Furcal ground ball and in the prone position tossed to Theriot to tagged out Pierre and then have a real shot at the double play but he wasn‘t successful. Ethier then grounded into a double play. End of 6th. Cubs still to the good 3-1.

I had a great feeling. Are the Cubs giving up on the season? No way!

McDonald replaced Billingsley to pitch the 7th. Theriot got a single but the Cubs didn’t add to the score.

Dempster, who had pitched 83 pitches, was left in the game by “The Guru” Lou. Twelve pitches later he had the three Dodgers up to bat out.

At the start of the 8th Ramirez. A. got a single for the Cubs. Fukudome was out at left field. Fox singled but Aramis was out. Hong Chih Kuo replaced McDonald and got the final Cub of the inning out. It remained 3-1.

When Dempster gave a walk to at the start of the Dodgers 8th Lou took his customary slow stroll out to the mound to pat Dempster in a manly way on the rear end to say job well done. He made a couple of fielding changes and brought Grabow in to finish the 8th. But Grabow gave Abreu a walk. Two on. Loretta grounded into a force out.

Then the Cubs got the breaks that have been a long time coming. Fontenot got Abreu out at 2nd base. It looked a close call. I’m not complaining. Next up Hudson hit a ball out just over 2nd base. It bounced and Martin got in to score. But the score didn’t count. Wally Bell, the 3rd base umpire was calling time out just before the ball was pitched. Good call although the home fans were unhappy. The replay will prove them wrong. Bell was waiving his hands in the air before the ball was pitched.

Castro, who was a pinch runner for Loretta, and Hudson were out on the next double play. The Cubs were 2 runs to the good at 3-1.

Although they didn’t score in the 9th the Cubs Koyie Hill did get a double. But I think that was because they were anxious to get to the Dodgers and Carlos Marmol closed out the game with a ground out and two strike outs. Nice! No sweep here! Who says the Cubs are throwing in the towel on the season?
