Perry Brown: Sali's vote shows lack of compassion for uninsured ...
Congress recently once again failed to stand up for children. On Jan. 23, U.S. Rep. Bill Sali joined with 151 other U.S. representatives to uphold President Bush's veto of legislation that would have provided health care coverage for millions of children across the United States, including 12,479 children in our own state (2005 census), who have no health insurance at all. For these million-plus families across the United States, the new year doesn't bring new opportunities. For them, 2008 is beginning to look a lot like 2007. Sali's vote to uphold the veto, means these families - our neighbors, our children's friends - will continue to hope daily that their children won't become ill or get injured, and that even a minor illness won't spiral their family into financial disaster.Just today, I cared for an uninsured child whose family could not afford asthma medications that cost $100 per month; as a result of not having these medications, the child is now hospitalized, at the cost of several thousand dollars.
Disintegrating dreams
WEST SPRINGFIELD Where several houses once stood in Precincts 1 and 2 as classic symbols of "The American Dream," each have since transformed into stark examples of how structurally unsound that dream can become.
Almost a dozen homes -- located on Merrick, Union, Bridge, Newbridge, Russell, Elm and Park streets -- in this area have been abandoned for several years, creating health and safety hazards within otherwise well kept neighborhoods
These conditions have prompted the Precinct 1 and 2 Steering Committee to call a neighborhood meeting with town officials next month to explain how the houses might transition back into functioning neighborhood residences.
Jeanne Galloway, director of the Health Department, said she and other town officials have had extensive difficulties locating each property's responsible party.

Esteban Loaiza was cruising through the top of the sixth, retiring the first two batters, when Craig Monroe lined a solid double to right-center. Enter Gomez, inserted into the DH slot by manager Jim Leyland because a right-hander was pitching and because the injury to Sean Casey caused several shifts in the Detroit lineup. The 28-year-old Gomez broke into professional ball with the Kansas City organization in 1997, and he's been kicking around the perimeter ever since. He had a cup of coffee with the 2002 Royals, a tall vanilla latte with the Royals again two years later, then a caramel frappuccino with last year's Tigers, the three stints totaling all of 55 at-bats. He got his first real taste of an entree this year, playing 62 games for Jim Leyland, and he managed to stroke his first big-league homer along the way -- a June 27 shot off Houston's Fernando Nieve in an interleague game.
Writedowns set market reeling
Such exposure had already forced it to write down 2.2 billion francs ($2.19 billion) in the three months to September. Credit Suisse also said then that it had managed to contain the impact of the crisis in the US subprime mortgage sector, where a wave of foreclosures has undermined the value of certain mortgage-backed securities.

Buck & New Dawg: Kidd for Harris: panic or the right move at the right ...
If he showed up at Indiana, that would just be a slap in the face to the people who helped salvage his career. BUCK: I disagree. I would tell The General to go back to Indiana (if theyll have you) and keep the sideshow going. Hes only 67. Bob Knight has become a caricature of himself. He has 902 wins.....and Hoosier fans know from whence most of those came. Who has a better chance of getting into the Hall of Fame: Roger Clemens or Andy Pettitte? NEW DAWG: Clemens. At least he has the credentials. BUCK: Neither one: hows that? Why should they after what Pettitte described in his Feb. 4 deposition? Voters do watch TV. A few actually read, as well. When John Rockers name recently surfaced, were you just glad it had nothing to do with pitchers and catchers reporting to Surprise, Ariz.? NEW DAWG: Whenever I hear John Rockers name, I think of goofy.
