Fire officials tell the Coeur d'Alene Press that during a recent building boom, the fire marshal could only keep up with inspections of new projects. District officials say commercial building inspections will be a top priority.

Maryland Jockey Club handicapper Frank Carulli made Jazzy Idea the 2-1 morning line favorite. The daughter of Great Notion has five wins and five second place finishes in 14 career starts. The Edwin Merryman trainee spent the summer at Saratoga with respectable finishes in the Grade 1 Prioress and Grade 1 Test. Luis Garcia will be aboard the 3-year-old filly, who has a pair of stakes wins on the turf this year.
"I heard she did just fine in the work," Castellano said. "It is expecting to rain tomorrow so if the race comes off the turf then we figure to be the ones to beat. She has run big all year and I have a lot of confidence in her."
Colony Club (5-1) comes into the Jameela off a stakes score at Monmouth Park for owner-trainer Alexandra White. The 6-year-old daughter of Lion Hearted has 10 top two finishes on the turf in 21 career races. Forest Boyce will ride Colony Club for the 18th time.
"We have a long history," Boyce said. "I had my first career winner with her at Colonial (June 30, 2009), so she is one of my all-time favorites. She gives you 100% each time and is very versatile. I can put her on the lead or she is just as happy sitting back and making one run."
Carole's Love (8-1) has two victories and a second in five turf sprints this year. The Dale Capuano trainee comes into the race off a fourth place finish behind multiple stakes winner Sensible Lady. Paco Lopez has the riding assignment aboard the daughter of Not For Love.
Rounding out the field are Queen Chatanika (10-1), Lady Raven (12-1), Thisdanseistaken (15-1), Purely Love (15-1), Maryland Mystique (20-1), Calliope (30-1) and Gin Sweep (30-1). Awesome Flower (20-1) is on the also-eligible list.

The Eye Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University is moving its Mt. Airy branch at 7145 Germantown Ave. to 7630 Germantown Ave. in Chestnut Hill Plaza, the former site of the TLA Video store.
Alexis Abate, marketing coordinator for the Eye Institute, said that while the official opening "depends on scheduling and construction," it could open as early as the end of August.
Currently, the Eye Institute has three facilities – in Oak Lane, Mt. Airy and East Falls – that see approximately 44,000 to 45,000 patients a year. Last year, Abate said, the Mt. Airy site treated more than 3,000 patients.
Abate said the Eye Institute does not "anticipate having any break in patient care."
"If there is a break in patient care, it would be minimal," she said.
Dr. Susan Oleszewski, vice-president for patient care services at the Eye Institute said the institute opened its Mt. Airy location in October 2003.
"Most patients who have sought services at our Mt. Airy office consider us the neighborhood eye doctor," Oleszewski said. "We hope that will continue at our new lower Chestnut Hill location. The need for more clinical space was one of the main reasons for looking for an alternative office location."
The Chestnut Hill location has 3,100 square feet of floor space compared to 1,850 square feet at the institute's current Mt. Airy branch.
"It was imperative that the new location be convenient for our established patients," Oleszewski said, and "have free parking for our patients."
According to Abate, the new facility will have six examination rooms and a beautiful storefront showcasing the Eye Institute's large variety of eyeglasses.
Oleszewski said the Eye Institute was "thrilled to have the opportunity to offer our quality vision and eye health services to the Chestnut Hill community."

SUMMIT, NJ — When treated in its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is over 90 percent. However, only 15 percent of cases are found at this early stage due to ovarian cancer's non-specific symptoms and lack of available early detection tests.
When discovered at a more advanced stage, the ovarian cancer survival rate can be as low as 18 percent.
The Women's Cancer Center at Carol G. Simon Cancer Center at Overlook Medical Center and Morristown Medical Center is evaluating periodic blood tests that may be helpful in the early detection of ovarian cancer.
Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial recruitment days for new patients will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at:

WASHINGTON — It was all so easy, so seamless and so breathlessly positive a year ago for Robert Griffin III. He went from being a Heisman Trophy winner and a college football hero at Baylor University to being the face of the franchise and the team-saving rookie quarterback of the Washington Redskins.
All of that is beginning to feel like such a long time ago. A year ago this week, Griffin led Washington to a runaway victory over the rival Philadelphia Eagles, sparking a seven-game winning streak that earned the Redskins their first division title in 13 years.
As they prepare for Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Redskins are struggling with a 3-7 record that has them in last place in the NFC East division.
Griffin, still less than 11 months removed from reconstructive surgery on his right knee, has failed to duplicate the on-field exploits that won him the National Football League's offensive rookie of the year honor in 2012. He is not quite as quick on his feet and his uncanny passing accuracy of a year ago frequently has failed him. What's more, the young man whose engaging personality and candor were celebrated last season suddenly finds himself under assault from media observers, fans and teammates.
It's all been quite a comedown for the 23-year-old quarterback. "This is the first time in his life he's been really criticized," former Redskins tight end Chris Cooley said Wednesday. "This is the first time in his life people haven't believed in him."
The latest blow came from veteran wide receiver Santana Moss, who said his teammate should "stand up and say 'me' or 'I' " more often when discussing his play on the field, the implication being Griffin too frequently deflects blame onto others.
"If we're going to win games, we need to win games with our guy saying, 'At the end of the day, I didn't make a play,' regardless of if it wasn't him, and that's how I feel," Moss said Tuesday on 106.7 The Fan, a Washington-area radio station.
Moss' remarks followed equally harsh critiques by some of the greatest names in Redskins history. Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, the team's longtime radio analyst, said during the broadcast of Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Eagles that Griffin should be benched because of his poor play. Darrell Green, the Redskins' Hall of Fame cornerback, said on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" last week that Griffin isn't the team's leader.
"I think that's the problem," Green said. "I think it's super important to have leadership and I don't think he really is the leader."
Speaking to reporters after Sunday's game, Griffin said the interception that he threw in the end zone on the Redskins' final offensive play came when he tried but failed to throw the ball away while backing away from oncoming defenders and with no open receivers. Griffin added that the Eagles seemed to know precisely what the Redskins were going to do on offense — a remark that was taken as a slap at the play-calling of the Redskins' coaching staff, most prominently offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
Former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins said on ESPN radio Wednesday that he "cringed" when he heard Griffin's postgame comments.
"He immediately pointed the finger to somebody else," Dawkins said. "The first thing that came out of his mouth was, 'The receivers didn't get open.' And then, 'I got pressure, if I'd have taken a sack . . . ' You're throwing your receivers under the bus. You're throwing your offensive line under the bus."
"In that situation," Dawkins added, "you just say, 'You know what? I made a bad play. That was on me. I have to get the ball out of the back of the end zone, no matter what's going on around me, no matter what's going on with my teammates.' "
With the controversy over Griffin's play — and his standing in the locker room — threatening to spiral out of control, the Redskins closed ranks Wednesday, with many players playing down the severity of the problem and several prominent veterans rising to Griffin's defense.
Griffin and Moss said they spoke, and both said everything had been smoothed over. Moss said he'd been attempting to send a message to all of his teammates to use language in public comments that won't lead to a perception of discord.
"I read a quote and it said, 'Moss says RGIII needs to take more responsibility for losses,' " Moss said. "That never came out of my mouth. I said that if I'm put in the situation, as a leader, I will stand up and say, 'me, I,' and that's what I said."
"We don't have no divided locker room at all," Moss added.
Griffin said that he and Moss are "on the same page." He said he "wasn't trying to take any shots at anybody" with his comments Sunday and he "would take it back" if he could. Griffin said he accepted blame for his throw on the late-game interception.
"You just have to shut it all out," Griffin said. "And I have had to deal with criticism in my life. I dealt with two 4-8 seasons at Baylor. It's nothing like this at this level in the NFL. But you just can't look at that stuff. You have to come to work and put your phone away. You can't look at any of that stuff out there. The means to get news nowadays, there are so many different ways to do it. You can't look at it. You've got to block it out, never change who you are as a person, as a player, as a teammate, and just keep pushing forward."
Coach Mike Shanahan said he doesn't "have any questions about [Griffin's] accountability and leadership," although he added he could understand what both Moss and Griffin were saying.
"It's a growing experience," Shanahan said. "It's not easy. I think it's the toughest position to play in all of sports. Usually Robert is dead on with everything. It comes very natural to him. But what doesn't come natural to anybody is going through the trials and tribulations you go through after winning and losing. It's tough. . . . It's a constant learning experience."

Italy draws high-flying Netherlands
Substitute Marco Verratti spared Italy from a sixth consecutive friendly defeat by restricting Holland to a 1-1 draw with his last-gasp goal at the Amsterdam ArenA.
Cesare Prandelli's Azzurri offered precious little in attack before the break, leaving Gianluigi Buffon to single-handedly keep a dynamic Holland side at bay, with only Jeremain Lens breaking the Juventus goalkeeper's resolve.
Italy steadily rallied in the second half, thanks to the introduction of Pablo Osvaldo, Alberto Gilardino and Verratti, with the latter two combining to produce a late equaliser.
Newcastle defender Davide Santon looked lively as Robin van Persie tried his luck within five minutes but Italy soon had a scare at the other end of the pitch.
Mario Balotelli cut his knee following a tussle with Kevin Strootman but he was able to continue.
Buffon soon came under siege from AZ Alkmaar midfielder Adam Maher. The veteran keeper needed fast reactions to deny Maher from close range with his feet before snatching up a deceptive volley as a Van Persie effort ricocheted around the box.
Strootman blasted firmly into Buffon's arms and Italy launched a counter-attack.
Balotelli twice tried to pick out Milan team-mate Stephan El Shaarawy before chesting down a perfect cross from Andrea Pirlo only to miss the target.
Holland were ahead in the 33rd minute, though, as the Azzurri backline failed to clear a Daryl Janmaat cross, leaving Lens to step up and rifle the ball into the net on the volley.
El Shaarawy beat the offside trap to escape the attentions of Ola John but his finish was lacking and Holland carried a narrow lead into the break.
Pirlo and Antonio Candreva were replaced by Alessandro Diamanti and Alessandro Florenzi at the break, with Van Persie and Jordy Clasie making way for Arjen Robben and debutant Jonathan de Guzman.
Balotelli soon lost his temper as Italy failed to get a foothold in the game and Prandelli opted to withdraw the striker for Osvaldo on the hour mark, with Daniele De Rossi's departure for Verratti going largely unnoticed.
Lens fancied a second goal and he was only denied it by the resolute Buffon, who stepped up to parry a rasping drive with an outstretched hand. He soon repeated the trick as Robben cut inside on his favoured left foot.
Chances had been at a premium for Italy and Diamanti should have done better when Ignazio Abate won a free-kick from Strootman in a dangerous position, but Prandelli's men began to show late signs of life in the final 10 minutes.
Gilardino, who replaced El Shaarawy, and Osvaldo went close with headers before the latter made Tim Krul stand up and take notice with a volley that shaved a post.
Dirk Kuyt threatened to put the game to bed moments later but his radar malfunctioned, allowing Gilardino to register Italy's first shot on target in the 86th minute.
Their second shot on target followed in stoppage time as Verratti made no mistake with a left-footed finish.

The Royal & Ancient Golf Club could make history even before its historic vote in September to have female members.
R&A secretary Peter Dawson said the club is deciding whether to allow members to vote by proxy, something he said has never been done in club history. Club rules require members to be present to vote.
"The jury is still out on that," Dawson said in a telephone interview last week during the R&A's spring meeting. "The rules of the club only allow a vote to be taken at the business meeting of those present. There is a view in the club, and quite a strong one, that postal voting should be allowed."
Dawson announced last month that the R&A would vote Sept. 18 to allow female members for the first time in its 260-year history.
The R&A Golf Club has about 2,400 members around the world.
Dawson is hopeful the vote will be favorable toward allowing women to join. There has been speculation that he had a strong sense how the members were leaning when he publicly announced that it was on the ballot, though he has said all along that's not the case.
"It's been written up that it will happen," said Dawson, who is retiring in September 2015. "We're never sure of the outcome. I don't think that's the case at all. I think it's the right thing, and I hope that R&A members do what's right for golf."
Because attendance is required to vote, a proxy vote might include those who are in favor of change but are disinclined or unable to travel to St. Andrews in September. Several golf administrators are R&A members. The vote falls between the end of the FedEx Cup and the week of the Ryder Cup.
The R&A said Monday in a statement that "members from around the world have expressed the desire to be part of this September's historic vote." It said the general committee is investigating a change to club rules that would allow voting by mail on "particularly important issues such as this one so that every member can have the opportunity to be involved."
It's an important vote for the image of the R&A, particularly coming just two years after Augusta National allowed female members for the first time in its 80-year history. There are differences. Augusta National is a private golf club. The Royal & Ancient is based in St. Andrews, though the Old Course and other links run by the St. Andrews Links Trust are open to the public.
The R&A Golf Club is separate from "The R&A," a business arm created 10 years ago to handle the Rules of Golf, organize the British Open and operate other business affairs. The R&A has female employees. Its committee and board, however, are populated by Royal & Ancient Golf Club members. Thus, there are no women in leadership roles for governing the game or running a major championship.
Dawson is secretary of the R&A Golf Club and chief executive of the R&A. He said he expected a decision on the voting procedure "fairly soon."
"It would be very easy to say that would be the democratic thing to do," Dawson said of a proxy vote. "There are cons to it. One can say that affairs are to be settled locally, not at the bar of one's club. It's a balance of what's right or wrong. All the legislation in the UK — and maybe it's the case in the U.S. — laws are passed by those who turn up at Parliament. There has not been a proxy."

The storm-battered Long Beach Medical Center, which was slated to reopen its doors this week, is now eyeing a mid- to late-April opening.
The 162-bed hospital has remained closed as it undergoes repairs, after 10 feet of water damaged the facility's basement area, which housed not only its electrical, heating and mechanical systems but also its pharmacy, central supply and purchasing departments as well as a family care center.
The facility's CEO, Doug Melzer, said he is hopeful that the Federal Emergency Management Agency will cover almost all of the $56 million in damage. Though FEMA typically picks up 75 percent of such costs while the state and hospital would each pay 12.5 percent, Melzer said he is hoping that FEMA kicks in a larger percentage — 90 percent — to help the facility reopen.
"While we anticipate the money from FEMA, it's not holding the work up," spokeswoman Sharon Player said.
Player explained that insurance covered some of the costs. LBMC is applying for a federal Social Services grant to help cover some operating costs, she said, and a $10 million to $20 million community development block grant to make some repairs at the 200-bed Komanoff Center and to build an assisted-living facility.
The hospital was recently awarded $200,000 by the Robin Hood Foundation, and received a $250,000 AmeriCares grant to continue primary care services for low-income and uninsured patients and to help offset operating costs for the hospital's Family Care Center.
Working around the clock
Player said that two of the hospital's five wings are expected to reopen by the end of April — its west and main pavilions, which include its emergency department. "We are working hard to restore emergency and inpatient services as quickly as possible," she said.
Those wings, she said, are undergoing mostly cosmetic repairs. A new heating system is being installed on the second floor of the west wing, while the pharmacy and supply room will be located on the third floor as part of the hospital's mitigation efforts with FEMA.

Since incorporation in 1969, the City of Brentwood has established an outstanding tradition of protecting its quality of life and community character through effective long-range planning.
With the assistance of the nationally recognized planning firm Clarion Associates, Brentwood completed a major update of the Brentwood 2020 Plan in 2006. This effort assessed progress and accomplishments in addressing the original goals of the plan, identified changing conditions that might make a particular goal area or program activity more or less relevant to current community needs, and also identified new areas for special attention. The update was undertaken with the objective of amending the plan in strategic areas, and was formally adopted by the Board of Commissioners after review and recommendation by the Planning Commission.
One of the key tasks of the update was to solicit citizen opinions regarding issues facing the City, and to gauge levels of citizen satisfaction/dissatisfaction with various components of life in Brentwood. In March of 2006 a questionnaire was distributed to all households and business owners in Brentwood, to collect opinions on the goals of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan as well as other pertinent City issues. Two initial surveys were sent: one to residents, and a similar survey to Brentwood businesses. A follow-up, second questionnaire was mailed to residents in June of 2006, based upon responses to the first questionnaire and focusing on implementation mechanisms that would address concerns and priorities that were identified in the first questionnaire. The response rate to the questionnaires was extraordinarily high, with almost 4,000 respondents returning the survey. Their responses and comments were complied in two reports, one evaluating quantitative responses to the questions and the other compiling individual comments.
Following this survey effort, the City conducted joint workshops involving the Board of Commissioners, Planning Commission, as well as residents, property owners, and business interests. These efforts resulted in the production of the adopted Update document. It is clear that the City has been aggressive over the last five years in implementing the 2020 Plan. This Update documents the progress and the accomplishments. It is clear that new challenges have emerged that need attention, and this Update addresses those, as well. Substantive recommendations are offered in each goal area.
One of the principal products of the Update document is the recommendation that a progress report on the comprehensive plan be produced every two years. Pursuant to that goal, a progress report was produced in the year 2008.
Brentwood citizens report high levels of satisfaction with the quality of life in this community, and optimism about the future. Attention to these planning and growth management issues can be an important part of achieving that future.

The hairy texture you get now probably isn't intended to depict surface texture on the shapes? Also I think, given the position of the sun in the image, that the shapes would be much darker silhouettes in reality. Look how dark the forest is all around, the sun is very low and would, at most, be hitting the facing side of the big monolith at a very steep angle, if even that.

Freezing temperatures with a chance of significant snow or ice.
Continue Reading Below
It's a condition that's grown all too familiar for much of the country in the past month. It's also a possible forecast for the upcoming Super Bowl, which will be a cold one. So now, in addition to training for one of the most important games of their careers, the players-along with their supporting staff, the stadium crews, and even the fans-are preparing to face weather conditions that may be wildly adverse.
We all experience complications that weren't part of the plan. Some are predictable; others come out of nowhere. Aside from lying awake at night stressing out over all the things that can go wrong, there are strategies we can learn from the lead-up to the big game that will help us face our own extreme conditions:
Eliminate the negative. Faced with doubt, whether it's internal or external, we should surround ourselves with people who are prepared to be successful. We'd do well to imitate Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. In December, he and his team answered those who say he plays poorly in cold weather. Take note of how past problems were solved, how past setbacks were dealt with and how past obstacles were overcome.
Accentuate the positive. Putting the best possible spin on things lets you hold, and communicate, a positive mindset. "We're excited about playing in the elements. We're embracing the cold," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at a recent press conference. Aligning his actions with his words, he announced that he would be spending the game outside in the stands with the fans, not in an enclosed luxury box.
Be flexible. Specific plans can break down when the unexpected hits, but being flexible allows you to respond to events as they play out. Asked about the effect of a possible postponement of the game to Monday, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said he was ready for anything: "I'm just happy to be in the Super Bowl. I don't care when we play. All the stuff I need to prepare myself to play will be there."
Rely on what you've learned. Even in new situations, seek out ways that your background and strengths can be relevant. Seahawks kicker Steve Hauschka is drawing upon his experience of MetLife stadium from a regular-season game to plan a strategy. "There's no open end to the stadium," he said, "so the wind kind of swirls around.. you've just got to hit a good ball. It might take it a little bit left or right, but you can still make them."
Whether you're preparing for a Super Bowl moment in your own career or more routine day-to-day leadership, unexpected new challenges are bound to appear, it's a fact in the game of life. By eliminating the negative and developing your positivity, flexibility and experience, you'll be ready to hit the field under any conditions.

Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein's Criminal Defense Attorney Is Eric Holder's Best Friend
CRONYISM REVEALED: Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein's Criminal Defense Attorney Is Eric Holder's Best Friend
Say hello to Reid Weingarten.
The worst part of the Eric Holder, Covington & Burling, Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, MF Global, Jon Corzine non-functioning Department of Justice is that the one group capable of forcing this issue onto the front pages and into the mainstream spotlight, seems to have no interest in doing so.
Congressional Republicans (and Democrats for that matter) are consistently silent on the failure of Obama to prosecute Wall Street. The opposition party seems quite content with the status quo.
By Wynton Hall from Big Government
Reprinted with permission.
Blankfein's Attorney Is Eric Holder's Best Friend
The crony connections just keep on coming over at Eric Holders Department of Justice. Last week, the Justice Department announced that it will not prosecute Goldman Sachs or any of its employees in a financial probe. Could that be because the attorney for Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein was none other than Attorney General Eric Holders best friend and former personal attorney, Reid Weingarten?
Or because in 2008, Goldman Sachs employees donated $1,013,091 to Barack Obama?
Or because Goldman Sachs is the former client of Eric Holders and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuers law firm, Covington & Burling?
The conflicts of interest and cronyism at Holders Department of Justice are so many that it took a 27-page report by the Government Accountability Institute to catalog them all.
And lest one forget: Holder's best friend Reid Weingarten--who previously represented child rapist Roman Polanski--is also the lawyer for former MF Global treasurer Edith OBrien. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that Holder's Justice Department will not be criminally charging Jon Corzine or any MF Global executives in that case either.
Weingarten, who calls himself a hard-core child of the 60s, apparently has a soft spot for Wall Street fat cats. "I feel like I'm in the French Revolution, defending the nobility against the howling mob," Weingarten told Bloomberg in 2002.
So, to recap, Goldman Sachs, which donated $1,013,091 to Barack Obama in 2008 and whose CEO is represented by Holder's best friend, will not face prosecution. Nor will Obama bundler Jon Corzine, who raised at least $500,000 for Barack Obama.
Indeed, Eric Holders Department of Justice has not charged, prosecuted, or convicted a single top Wall Street executive.

A bull($#!t) market
The Dow is back, long live the Dow Jones Industrial Average. But what about us?
What about the 7 million who lost their jobs since the equity index last visited the 14,000 level? Or the 20 million additional Americans who are on food stamps since October 2009? Are they not the economy, too?
Truth is, the stock market is setting new highs daily, extending what is now the sixth-largest bull market move since the Great Depression, only because of master matador Ben Bernanke. The Dow has soared 128 percent since the first hint that the Federal Reserve would start its quantative easing in March 2009.
Despite all the grandstanding, podium pounding and prognosticating coming out of Washington about how the fiscal cliff and sequestration were going to hurt America, the benchmark index laughed right through it, knowing that Fed chief Bernanke was going to provide on average $4 billion a day of liquidity to the markets.
Citigroup could be considered the poster child of the bifocal economy.
The bank took in $45 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program money and got an additional $45 billion line of credit from the Treasury Department along with a government guarantee of $300 billion for its own troubled assets. And to this day, Citi struggles to find its footing.
The bank continues to lay off people by the thousands. Citi, which at its height in 2007 had 357,000 employees, today only has 260,000 and announced three months ago that an additional 11,000 cuts are to come. And new Chief Executive Michael Corbat has forewarned that if the banks businesses do not grow, things will get even worse.
But you wouldnt know things were so dire looking at Citis share price, which has risen nearly 200 percent on split-adjusted basis since March 2009. Investors know that, just like the millions of unemployed, the bank lives off Uncle Sams largess.
TARP may have saved Citi, American International Group (AIG), Fannie Mae and others, but Bernankes QE and zero interest-rate policy is what bolsters the balance sheets.
Wall Street banks profit most by having the cost of capital their lifeblood at near zero while lending at 12 percent to 18 percent on credit cards and 3 percent to 5 percent on mortgages.
The banks can and have survived on this, but they cannot thrive just like the economy.
On Citibanks balance sheet, interest rate-based assets rise in value as the Fed just keeps buying up Treasuries and mortgage bonds. The profits keep coming as long as the Fed sustains the impetus.
In a recent research piece, BTIGs Dan Greenhouse aptly pointed out that corporate earnings were up 128 percent from the lows of March 2009 and so is the market!
Profits are what move the equity markets, not the quality of those profits. If you cut payroll or avoid taxes by leaving money overseas, the markets pay no mind. And the 30 Dow stocks and the 500 in the Standard & Poors index have the most flexibility to execute such moves.
Typically, stock markets and economies work in sync: A strong economy drives a strong market and vice versa. Ordinarily, you dont get earnings to rise in weak, stagnant economies like this one unless theres some mischievous meddling going on like ultra-low interest rates for a protracted period, which forces pension funds and annuities to abandon the bond market and pitch into the stock market.
In Spain, every once in a while a spectacular fighting bull is spared in the ring due to his vigor and cunning, and is returned to his native ranch to breed.
Only time will tell if the snorting bull sent to markets by Bernanke will live a long, full and enriching life.

Recommend me some slowcore (bands like Low, Czars, Red House Painters)
I don't really know what slowcore means, but all these bands have a medium to snail pace and usually a long, luxurious discography. It seems several of these bands were around 10 years ago but have been forgotten by all but a few who adore them, hough more recent suggestions welcome. Here is a larger list of what I am familiar with:
The Czars
RHP (plus other Kozelek work)
The Blue Nile
- DaddyorChips and AfraidOfOwls this'd this
Angels of Light
Dirty Three
Songs: Ohia
(*braces self for boring post-rock vs slowcore vs alt country labelling debate).FWBTS this'd this
Its encouraging that there's debate around the genre of these, I'm interested more in anything that has the same feel and career progression as the artists I mentioned.
those chords, man
Bluetile Lounge - Half Cut
Shizuka - Heavenly Persona. Can't recommend this one enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh6lR2e0wSQ
Art Of Fighting
if you like early Low you might like these, similarly sparse arrangements.bokonon this'd this
Came here to say AOF
Probably the best band I ever DIScovered through this internet website. Second Storey is a stunning album!
I can't work out if I like that
It's a bit like Low but also a bit like Athlete.
- wj_gibson this'd this
Mark Eitzel
not all of his stuff is slowcore, but some is.
- prob500, stormcrow, and carrot_ram this'd this
In particular their album 'The Blue Moods Of Spain'.
As mentioned above, The For Carnation. Their s/t album is amazing. I dusted off one of their tracks for the December Space collection this week ('Moonbeams').
Low's In the Fishtank with Dirty Three.
Oh and don't forget
Josh T Pearson's Last Of the Country Gentlemen. My favourite album of 2011.
- marckee this'd this
Not really sure what "Slowcore" is
But going on the bands already posted (and excluding those artists), I'd say check out:
Bardo Pond
Junior Boys
you've heard that chord sequence before, but its lovely
Galaxie 500
I'm sure you know them, but definitely check them out if not. I think their first album 'Today' is their best, but the other two are fantastic as well.
Would also check out:
Come (guitarist Chris Brokaw was the drummer in Codeine)
Posted at the same time as the above and I would concur with the suggestion of 'Today' as a good starting point. Once you have listened a few times to that excellent album, however, you must quickly make your way to the sublime 'On Fire'. Not just the finest Galaxie 500 album but one of the finest slow albums of all time.
For more recent music I would also recommend Cheval Sombre. The new album is very lovely indeed.
^This to the Cheval Sombre album
sounds like Felt meets Galaxie 500 meets Mazzy Star, with some more drone-y bits thrown in
Came here to post Galaxie 500
On Fire is one of my top 5 albums of all time, never ever get tired of listening to it. The lyrics are deceptively funny too.
Bark Psychosis - Hex
Also, Early Day Miners - All Harm Ends Here, The Kingsbury Manx - s/t and Rameses III - Folk Hymns might interest you.
But I can't recommend 'Hex' enough. It's amazing.
Was not expecting such a good response, DiS rules!
Currently checking out (but have much more to plunder):
Early Day Miners
Art of Fighting
Tindersticks (finally)
American analog set
Promise of love is bloody lovely
Cobolt (ex members of Refused)
Absolutely phenomenal stuff. Check out their album Passoa on Spotify (at work so can't post link).

Oval Office now features golden curtains, Churchill sculpture
Oval Office now features golden curtains, Churchill sculpture
President Donald Trump has already had parts of the Oval Office redecorated.
The stately room now features golden curtains, which were red the last morning of Barack Obama's final day in office.
Reporters also noted that a bust of former British prime minister Winston Churchill has returned to the office.
A bust of the World War II leader has been in the president's home for decades, but Obama moved it from the Oval Office to the residence at the White House when he started his first term. The move was done to make room for a bust of former President Abraham Lincoln there, Obama communications director Dan Pfeiffer has said.

OwenWiseCPA needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 179 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
OwenWise & Company
We offer accounting, payroll, tax and consulting services. Please see the attached file for more information on our company. I plan to take this logo and utilize it for a new website. Here is a preview of the company: Founded in 2008, OwenWise & Company was established to provide a range of services that place value above cost. OwenWise & Company has experience in finance, accounting, business structure, operations and strategic management. Based on this experience, OwenWise & Company is able to offer a unique value proposition. We graciously accept challenges presented to us, as long as we possess the knowledge to satisfactorily provide a quality product to our client. The realm of our service includes financial accounting / reporting / analysis, bookkeeping, payroll facilitation and management, tax strategy and preparation, strategic analysis and implementation of strategic objectives. We work with many clients in numerous industries. Although the businesses are very diverse, the goal is the same – a bigger, better bottom line.
Individuals and small to medium sized companies looking for a financial services firm to partner with them to achieve better financial results. Industries include real estate professionals, service companies, construction, and retail. We operate from Orlando with clients in around the Central Florida and the Tampa Bay areas.
I am looking for something simple and clean, yet different and creative. I would like a soft look that does NOT promote corporate, dull, stiff or boring. So many accounting / tax company websites are static and/or generic full of stock photos. I would like something 'clean' and different.
I am not a creative person. Therefore, I am looking for someone to create a look that I can carry over to a new website, social networking tools and blogs. The objective of this logo is to get attention while being soft, subtle, understated, clean, neat and bold all at the same time. Lastly, I would like to work the tag line of Accounting | Tax | Consulting into the logo. If that is possible, let's get started.

COCOA, Fla. — A two-man fight for Florida is emerging ahead of the state's final Republican presidential debate, with Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich pounding each other over personal and professional vulnerabilities.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul will take their places on the stage for Thursday night's debate but have their sights set elsewhere and have largely stayed away from the Romney-Gingrich drama.
Public opinion polls had Romney and Gingrich in a tight race. The winner of Tuesday's primary will score something no one has yet claimed in a tumultuous primary season: a second victory. The first three nominating contest have gone to three different candidates; only Paul has not topped a primary or caucus vote.
Sharp exchanges Wednesday highlighted the stakes in the battle to determine President Barack Obama's fall challenger. Gingrich, a former House speaker, tried to paint Romney as out-of-touch by noting his Swiss bank account and another in the Cayman Islands. Romney, a businessman-turned-politician, couldn't escape questions about his wealth from others.
At a forum at the Spanish-language Univision Network, Romney was asked point-blank how much money he had.
"Well, it's — it's between a $150 and about $200 and some odd million," he responded after trying to turn the question back on the forum's moderator. "I think that's what the estimates are, and — and, by the way, I didn't inherit that."
Gingrich faced uncomfortable questions of his own during his turn at Univision. He dismissed suggestions that he lacked standing in the mid-1990s to criticize President Bill Clinton's infidelity when he was carrying on an affair of his own, arguing that Clinton had lied under oath and that was the real issue in the impeachment of the president.
The hits for both Romney and Gingrich were coming from many directions.
The "super" political action committees backing the two leading GOP candidates have spent more than $10 million combined on ads so far in Florida, far more than their respective campaigns. The Romney-leaning Restore Our Future has spent $8.8 million in ads as of late Tuesday, bringing the total of ads supporting Romney in the state to $14 million, not counting the cash already spent on radio and Internet advertising.
As of late Tuesday, the Gingrich-backing Winning Our Future had booked $1.8 million in television ads in Florida, a check made possible by a new donation from Miriam Adelson. She and her husband, Sheldon, this month gave $5 million apiece to the group, which supports Gingrich but legally must remain independent.
Elected officials backing Romney, including 2008 GOP nominee John McCain, sought to keep the focus on Gingrich's turbulent time in Congress and lucrative consulting work after he left. Gingrich, whose crowds consistently reached into the thousands, cast the stepped-up critiques as a sign of his momentum.
"What you have right now is the entire establishment in panic mode running around saying whatever comes into their mind next," Gingrich told reporters. He amplified the sentiment a few minutes later, saying a Gingrich win in Florida would allow the news media to watch "distinguished people melt down at the thought that we would actually change Washington and they would have to learn new games."
Obama was amid a campaign-style swing of his own, pressing a populist theme of tax fairness. Republicans said Obama's call was little more than code for tax increases and charged those would hinder the economic recovery.
Back in Florida, Santorum was recognizing that he stood almost no chance to win the primary. Santorum and his advisers didn't plan any advertising in Florida and instead were emphasizing raising money and calling potential supporters in upcoming primary states. He all but gave up trying to woo a network of pastors and was scaling back his events in the state.
Chuck Laudner, an influential adviser who helped Santorum score an upset victory in the Iowa caucuses, was headed back to the Midwest to start piecing together coalitions in Missouri and Minnesota. Both states have media markets that overlap with Iowa, where Santorum proved to be the big story.
Paul has been virtually absent from Florida except for appearances built around the two debates. He was concentrating instead on caucus states where his loyal backers can carry a louder voice.
Associated Press writers Philip Elliott, David Espo and Kasie Hunt contributed to this report from Florida. Jack Gillum contributed from Washington.

This is our new baby girl, Martini; we got her from a breeder in town. Her father's name is George, which is symbolic to our black lab that had passed away just the day before whose name was also George. Initially she was the shy and nervous one of the litter. Almost as soon as we got her home she became a little dare devil and trouble maker. She pulls on the shower curtain, chews on anything and everything, prances and pounces in the yard, and chases her tail. After just a short time of play she is ready for a nap. And so are her owners! She is definitely a handful but it is worth every ...
Meet Miss Tussie. She is a six month on Shihpoo (Shitzu and Poodle). She is very playful and it doesn't matter to her if you are involved or not, she's gonna play! Her tennis ball is always close incase you want to play some fetch and her buff color makes those beautiful eyes and nose stand out. She always looks like a stuffed toy! Miss Tussie was a rescue dog and we're still trying to determine who rescued whom! She is as soft as a cotton ball and a joy to our family!
I'm Burt the Shih Tzu. I live in Indiana with 2 humans that love me very much. I am full od attitude - that's why I'm named after Burt Reynolds!
Millie lives to play more than anything in the world. Her favorite games are chase and tug-of-war. She recently got a human baby sister and is doing a great with sharing the attention and being "gentle" when her little sister accidentally pulls her hair. She has lots of energy but loves snuggles too!
