To Loosen Nearly Any Knot, Twist the End and Push is a post from: Mcclure Central

Two party system sucks.. make your own stand for gods sake.
Capitalism appears to be consuming itself. Satisfy the masses, and the one percent will do even better. Workers are just as valuable to our society as money movers and should have a reasonable quality of life and assurances also. What’s so hard about that to understand?

I personally want our communities to have good education , good health and dental maintenance, and basically a stable life while preparing for retirement and improving the lives of our generation and the next.
I do not feel like that is unreasonable expectations for Americans as citizens of the leader of the free world. The quality of life of the poor and middle classes can be sustained while money movers and investors also increase their legacies. This is not new ideology, just not used by either of the two major political parties. Keep a log, they both go back and forth on policies based on their perceptions of how to stay in power and get full retirement and medical ..(the list goes on) at taxpayer expense.

The whole argument of taxation makes my furious. First, yes I was a supply side Reagonomics supporter, and at the time seemed to work for a lot of folks. The rich ‘want their taxes raised so they may invest, But the richest have had the luxury of huge tax breaks for years now, and instead of putting back into the economy, the hoard, then they reduce the nations workforce benefits and quality of life. Simply put, corporatism and elitest greed has stopped the trickle down effects and did years ago.

And I wish someone would explain to me how average Americans paying 20+ % on income made while working is fair when if millionaire pays 15% on unearned income. It just is not no matter how you spin it. Talk all you want to about redistribution of income but its already happening, just the poor is paving roads, building bridges, and paying a higher percentage of tax for the wealthiest of Americans. That percentage the poor and middle class is paying is a lot more detrimental to our society and families than a millionaire kicking in a few more bucks. A person making a million should pay more % than a $28,000 based on the above reasonable expectations set forth above. The rates should not even be flat. 35% of a million is minuscule compared to 20% + of $32000, thus, we have the total reduction of our standard of living as a nation as a whole. We haven’t even touched the state and local taxes,rising fuel & electric bills, freakin food even. You can see why no one is buying , there is no money left.

Now, if companies are not making the profits they want from customers, it simply comes out of labor. Then labor has less to spend on life’s needs and wants. Thus the company still is not quenching its insatiable thirst, thus it takes more from labor, etc..etc..etc.

As the Government and Big Business keep breaking the middle class and poor backs, and then refusing to fix them, the income gap widens. This has been going on for well over a decade. Not one President’s or Congresses fault. All of them run business the same, just say they won’t and blame the other. The widening income gap and distancing of classes is making us look almost communist and has to stop.

For pitchers, rest is essential

By John Habyan Pitchers of all levels need to take some time off to rest their arms after a spring and summer of playing baseball. These days it seems there are more and more factors intervening that either prevent pitchers from resting properly or make them feel that they can’t take the time to rest properly. We’ve all heard about the young professional pitchers who throw a full season of minor league innings, progress to the fall instructional league and then play winter ball before heading to spring training and starting all over again. Often times we read about these young up-and-coming players getting “dead arms” or developing arm problems the following season that can haunt them off and on throughout the rest of their careers or even prevent them from advancing to the next level. Just like starting pitchers need three or four days to rehab their arms after a starting assignment during the season, pitchers of all ages need to set aside time in the off-season to take a break from throwing and strengthen their shoulder muscles, specifically the rotator cuff, for the season ahead. This absolutely must take place during the off-season, because once the season begins and young players are practicing and playing several times a week while going to school and trying to have a social life, there really is little or no time for strength or conditioning work outside of what is done on the field. Once the new year rolls around, most pitchers will be concentrating more on their baseball training, so the strength and conditioning work that they do in the off-season has to last them, in reality, up to six months. In this age of specialization and increased opportunities, however, many young pitchers don’t get much of a chance to rest. As a high school coach, this really scares me. At the pre-high school levels, more and more travel teams are holding fall tryouts and playing in fall – and even winter – tournaments. Once players get to the high school level there are fall teams to play on and “showcase” events for those who hope to get seen by college coaches and professional scouts. Parents of young players – and the players themselves – worry about missing out on opportunities, falling behind and losing spots on competitive teams. No young person wants to sit at home while his friends are playing in a baseball tournament somewhere. This may lead young pitchers to feel the need to throw often and at 100 percent throughout the fall and into the winter. Pitchers at the high school level also don’t want to get left behind and hope to expose their talents to as many college coaches and pro scouts as possible. This quest may lead them to pitch in many highly competitive fall games or to attend as many “showcase” events as possible. I know from experience that it is best for young pitchers to take at least two full months off from throwing. That is the time that they should be working on the strengthening exercises that can help them rehabilitate their arms from the previous season and help them prevent injuries in the season ahead. Fall tryouts and “showcase” events can really create a dangerous situation for young pitchers, because many times they will go into these events cold after having not thrown for many weeks. Mid-summer “showcase” events are fine, because the pitchers are still in their normal throwing routines. Even “showcases” in August or September are okay, because the pitchers can keep throwing after their seasons in preparation for those events. Their rest period can come after they participate. On the other hand, tryouts or “showcases” that occur in October, November or even December can be very dangerous to a pitcher’s health. While the need for pitchers to allow their arms to rest some in the off-season is well-documented, a pitcher who rests for a month or more and then tries to throw at 100 percent for a weekend tryout or event is risking injury. Coaches should make sure that pitchers prepare for at least three weeks leading up to these events by long tossing, doing flatwork and having three or four mound sessions. Young pitchers also should be instructed about how to warm up properly at the showcase or tryout, because many times they are shuttled through a line and have to pitch cold. It’s okay for pitchers to keep throwing through the late summer into September and early October, as long as they are able to take two months off to rest their muscles and train them adequately for the year ahead. That rest time, or “active rest,” should include a mixture of distance running, sprinting, exercises to strengthen the legs, exercises to strengthen the core, flexibility work and rotator cuff exercises. John Habyan has been Ripken Baseball’s lead pitching instructor for 13 years after pitching for 11 seasons at the big league level. He is the head coach at St. John the Baptist High School in New York. More about youth baseball pitching
