Keystone XL's Emissions Versus Coal-Fired Power
I hadn't planned to write another Keystone XL pipeline article, but I have gotten a lot of questions since the recent announcement by the Obama administration that they are still unable to make a decision on the project. At this point I don't think the project will be approved by this administration.[read more]

"400 GW is a lot of hydro power. That will indeed allow a lot of wind and solar to be firmed-up in China without the need for fossil fuel backup.

It will likely double again after that since China's economy needs to grow far in order to reach developed nations per capita prosperity ..."

From what I've been told, this collection placed a great emphasis on the grand splendour of spiritual love and devotion, to the detriment of human love and lust.

Jane Tecce has the unique perspective of having experienced both sides of being an organ donor. Years ago after her son's death at the age of 24, his organs were donated so that others could have a new chance at life. Now, Tecce herself is still recovering from a heart transplant that she received some 16 months ago. She also received a kidney transplant at that time.
"My kids are starting to have kids now. I'm being a grammy. I can't imagine not being here," she said in a recent conversation with Patch.com. Tecce said that she was first diagnosed with heart disease about 12 years ago.
Tecce moved to Lynnfield two years ago and grew up in Wakefield, graduating from Wakefield Memorial High School. Her family owns Santoro's in Peabody, she reported.
Her motivation to help spread the word about becoming an organ donor is not limited to just her own experiences. Tecce lost one brother, David, to heart disease when he was 51 and waiting for a heart transplant. A younger brother Jimmy, reportedly had a heart transplant in 2000 at Tufts and lived for eight years after that.
"I've been on both ends of it. That's what I feel is important," she said.
According to Tecce, organ donors and recipients actually interact somewhat routinely through email and letters if they wish to do so - although this typically won't happen until a year or so after a transplant. In her own case, she met her donor's family, who were from Rhode Island, on the one-year anniversary of the transplant, something she described as "very emotional."
Those who receive an organ transplant will face an elevated risk of infection in the months after the procedure, and Tecce recalled having some setbacks in the early going. "In the last six months, I've done really, really well," she said, adding that she also hopes to return to work while also potentially doing some speaking and information tables for the New England Organ Bank.
"I want to remember the people that gave me this chance," said Tecce.

Dying Commission Grants State Recognition to Six Indian Tribes
The Tennessee Commission on Indian Affairs, which will cease to exist on July 1, has granted state recognition to six Indian tribes in a move that the federally-recognized Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma may try to void.
"This is a historic action," said Tammera Hicks of Chattanooga, chairman of the commission. "We have done what the commission was mandated to do more than 20 years ago."
But Mark Greene, retained as a lobbyist by the Cherokee Nation, to oppose state recognition efforts by members of Tennessee groups, said he believes the "11th hour recognition" could have violated state laws. Cherokee representatives will be consulting with attorneys today on possible legal action, he said.
Bills to grant state recognition to Indian tribes have failed in the Legislature, but Hicks said the statute creating the commission specifically gives the panel authority to act on recognition on its own.
All six members of the seven-member panel present at a meeting in Bartlett on Friday voted to declare six groups of Native American descendants as officially recognized as valid Indian tribes, Hicks said. They are:
-The Cherokee Wolf Clan, which previously-filed legislation says has members in Carroll, Benton, Decatur, Henderson, Henry, Weakley, Gibson, and Madison counties.
-The Chikamaka Band, said to have members in Franklin, Grundy, Marion, Sequatchie, Warren, and Coffee counties.
-Central Band of Cherokee, also known as the Cherokee of Lawrence County.
-United Eastern Lenape Nation of Winfield, Tenn.
-The Tanasi Council, said to have members in Shelby, Dyer, Gibson, Humphreys, and Perry counties.
-Remnant Yuchi Nation with members in Sullivan, Carter, Greene, Hawkins, Unicoi, Johnson, and Washington counties.
The Commission had earlier promulgated rules specifically granting recognition to the tribes, but state legislators in May took action to postpone the effective date of those rules until after the commission ceases to exist on July 1. Lawmakers had also killed a bill that would have granted another year of life to the commission.
But Hicks said that the commission used an alternative procedure involving "standing rules," as opposed to the special and specific rules that were the subject of legislative action, to grant recognition.
Greene, who attended the meeting, said the move bypassed legislative intent and appears to have violated the state's "Sunshine law," mandating that meetings be open and adequate notice be given of pending actions.
Greene said there was no notice of the pending move and that members of the commission had "obviously worked everything out in advance." He also said that some members of the commission may have inherent conflicts of interest because they are members of the newly-recognized tribes.
State recognition of Indian tribes, which has occurred in several states, makes members of the tribes eligible for various grants, scholarships and assistance programs available under federal law. State-recognized tribes may also market crafts and other goods as made by Native Americans.
The Cherokees and other federally-recognized tribes have questioned the legitimacy of the state groups' claims of significant Indian heritage.
Mark Green needs to be told that the state and state organizations are not covered by the sunshine laws.
For the past 20 years, the only reason for the existance of the Tennessee Commission on Indian Affairs was to oppose legal recognition of tribes in Tennessee. The previous Indian commission has done NOTHING for the Tennessee Indian community, and NOTHING for Tennessee's own Indigenous Indian people...except to stall recognition. No programs, no services, absolutely nothing except to serve as a front for outside political interests whose only objective was to prevent legal recognition of Tennessee tribes. Kudos to this new commission, even if they did accomplish this giant feat while being sunsetted due to outside interests and $$$ being spent on lobbyists. Tennessee has now joined other states which have legally state recognized Indian tribes.
The recognized tribes in TN can now assist the state in obtaining economic development, healthcare, and bringing new jobs!
Ask yourself.... WHY is the CNO so concerned about what happens in TN? Perhaps they want to put casinoes in TN (which state tribes can not do without legislative approval) and take money OUT of the state. State tribes want to bring development INTO the state. It was time for the Commission to support "home grown" Native Americans!
The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is NOT the Cherokee tribe of old. It is a brand new incorporated entity born only in 1974, trying to sell itself to the public and to Tennessee legislators, as the main Cherokee Tribe. The head of the BIA, Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington DC, John Echohawk, issued a letter stating that the current Cherokee Nation of Oklahma is NOT the main tribe, but instead is a "successor in interest" only. The CNO has conducted a publicity campaign based on hype, innuendo and distortions, fueled by big $$$ from the casino rich tribe which has 8 casinos now and counting. They need to spend some money on their own tribal members who are in need instead of spreading it all over Tennessee buying people off.
Tennessee Native Tribes are well known by the communities in which they live. They have now banded across the state to support each other and ask for your support.
Many members of the legislature wanted to recognize these tribes. In select sub- committees, representatives and senators that received donations from the CNO spoke up the loudest and longest on why TN Tribes should NOT be recognized. OUR representatives and senators are accepting monies from outside interests to prevent economic development (not referring to casinos), healthcare and educational grants and assistance. The State of Tennessee stands to benefit greatly from the recognition of these tribes.
During the last weeks of the current session, it was Ms. Susan Lynn's (Rep Dist 57-R) duty to present HB1078 to the Calendar and Rules Committee, which never occurred after the bill had received an overwhelmingly favorable recommendation for passage (9-4) by the Government Operations Committee on 5 May 2010. This bill would have extended the Commission of Indian Affairs.
The real question here is "which" representatives and senators received monies from the CNO, why they accepted those funds, and why they chose to stall, intimidate and back door recognition for our state tribes?
Good questions indeed! Why would Tennessee legislators work to keep fellow Tennesseans disenfranchised? Why would they accept money to deny civil rights to other Tennesseans? And from out-of-state parties, at that??? Servants of the people, maybe, but the question becomes which people??
thats a good question which people they sure did not listen to the very ones that were directly effected.
WOW what a Historical Day in TN the real true AMERICANS have spoken
I want to thank the Tennessee Comission on Indian Affairs, aka the "New Commission", for a job well done. I salute your professionalism, especially having to overcome lies and questionable monitary donations to certain elected Tennessee legislatures. This "New Commission" braved the storm and did their job. You guys were harassed by such statements as "Culture Clubs", No criteria, etc. All six tribes submitted their Recognition Packets. All tribes qualified beyond the required criteria.
Some time ago I wrote: "Tennessee is a state with a rich and wonderful American Indian heritage: it is among the first rank of such states. Unfortunately, it seems to this observer, modern Tennesseeans only slightly appreciate, and even less value, the deep cultural traditions of the First Nations People, including the Yuchi, who are still there. Arguably, Tennessee does less in its public policy to recognize that superb legacy than any other US state with a comparable, or even inferior, American Indian heritage." I applaud this action of the TCIA which is a major step in the right direction.
Look on the bright side, if CNO tries to sue TN then the state can demand documents that prove CNO does not meet BIA's federal criteria to be a tribe. Plus it will eat up a lot of CNO's money headed to umm… "influence" our legislators. As Mark Greene likes to say "BRING IT ON!"
The first paragraph of this article is misleading when it says: "The Tennessee Commission on Indian Affairs, which will cease to exist on July 1, has granted state recognition to six Indian tribes in a move that the federally-recognized Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma may try to void."
How can an out of state tribe, which has NO sovereignty beyond it's own borders or beyond its own citizens, "try to void" what a Tennessee State agency has done? How can anybody or any entity outside of any state, go into another state's legal boundaries and try to "void" what that state's government has done?
I can't imagine Tennessee's state government allowing such a thing to even be attempted in Tennessee. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is NOT the only Cherokee people in these lands, but they are trying to stake that claim, even over other federally recognized Cherokee tribes, not just state recognized Cherokee tribes.
Ross Swimmer incorporated the Cherokee Nation of Oklahma in 1974, and was himself amazed that the group that he had formed simply to get more jobs and services, turned into an actual tribe. Ross is a lawyer, the current Cherokee chief, Chad Smith is also a lawyer, and they are trying to lawyer their way into bullying and buying off Tennesse state legislators. It's no secret who has received big $$$ from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in Tennessee. But with all of their split off businesses, there's no telling who all they have tried to buy off in Tennessee.
You cannot keep good people down. Civil Rights will trump power politics, and prevail in the end. Beyond the narrow interests that have defined the past is a future of diversity and sharing. The states around us have recognized this by embracing their Indigenous residents as a community asset, and now Tennessee too will be able to benefit from its diversity wealth.
donta wella tsobila!
Thanks to a very professional group of Native Americans, Tn. is now able to carry on with the correct way to treat the true peoples of this STATE with Respect and Dignity, the 6 tribes that made this State what it is today. Congratulations to each Member and Tribe.What a great feeling.
Congratulations to the new commission for finally doing what prior commissions were never able to do, and shame on those elected officials who have represented CNO interest over the interest of Tennessee's native citizens.
White settlers from disparate locations is what the Tennessee wannabee have been found out by Echohaw.
I would like to give thanks to the State of Tennessee for doing the right thing in this issue,maybe if your state would talk to ours about the benefits it would help to bring in maybe they would then smell the roses once and for all..

Quip Stainburn Ep available now on Inaudible AnswerPosted: October 18th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: inaudible answer, quip, Stainburn Ep | Comments Off
These tracks were made at the beginning of the 2009 to mark the discovery of Stainburn forest, a wild, windswept area near North Leeds. I found the place strange, stark and beautiful in equal measure. Experiments in using cheap toy organs, my own voice and guitars to form drifting melodies mixed with electronic beats underlay
the whole EP. Similarities to early Fourtet, Hood and Fridge could be made.

Niagara Gazette — It seems to happen every year. The auctioneer yells "Sold," and somebody gets a great deal.
A couple of years ago a donated lithograph by Pablo Picasso, turned out to have the artist's signature. "We didn't realize it was signed with an original signature," said Don Luce, public relations director for the Community Missions.
The person who bought the painting at the annual mission fundraiser, made a lucky purchase. "I think they paid two or three hundred but it was worth a couple thousand," he said.
That's not the only surprise from donated items sold over the years at the Community Missions Fine Arts Auction. "Every year, we've had what I call a 'sleeper,' something we didn't realize was that valuable," Luce said.
"One year we had a pair of Windsor chairs and the person who bought them took them to get them valued," he continued. "One, from the 1700s, was worth several thousands. The other one was just a copy, but for a hundred dollars they got quite a deal."
This year an anonymous donor gave three depression-era antique toy train sets to the auction. Lionel, Marx, and Atlas train sets will be among the hundreds of items auctioned off Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church, 100 Church St., in Youngstown. Viewing of items will begin at 12:15 pm and the auction will start at 1:00.
"We looked on eBay and the train sets go for four or five thousand a set," he added. At the auction, the trains are likely to go for far less than that. The same is true for many of the other donated items, he said.
A 1930's seascape painting by Earle Bailly is another featured auction item. Bailly, who has exhibited in museums throughout the U.S. and internationally, was born without arms and was famed for holding and wielding brushes in his mouth. In addition, a local artist, Mary Gross, known for her Native American feather art, has donated a piece to the auction. Other featured artists include Ansel Adams, R.C. Gorman and Andrew Wyeth.

Dude, that had to be 1/8th mile 'cause 187 is about 120 MPH too slow for a 4.4 second run through the 1/4 mile.
Oh, dun, the file name says 1/8th mile run!
Still, quite impressive carrying the front end through the traps like that. Probably would have been a 4.3 if the front wheels were on the ground! But geez, he landed hard!
You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!
Holy crap, that's insane!

It's a 1963 Pontiac LeMans. It was built by Nelson Racing Engineering, and they make some incredible engines! This one has a twin turbo 522CID Chevy cranking out 1000hp in street trim on pump gas, and when the boost's cranked up it'll turn out 2000hp! It'll do 7's in the 1/4, does 0 - 150 in 5 seconds, and is perfectly street legal!!!! I'm sorry...but I can't fathom that...THAT's insane!!

New Castle News
The New Castle Area School District has received 18 applications for superintendent.
Tom Templeton of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association told board members at their work session Monday that 22 people had expressed interest in the position, but 18 of them actually submitted applications.
Monday was the application deadline.
The board contracted with the PSBA in January to conduct a search for a new superintendent.
Board members agreed to meet in executive session April 17 to narrow the field of candidates to be interviewed. The board will conduct the interviews with the assistance of the PSBA on April 30 and May 1.
A target date set by the PSBA for filling the position is July 1.
Stanley Magusiak, who has been assistant to the superintendent, was named acting superintendent in February following the retirement of George Gabriel.

"Magik always has a unique sort of take on these great, classic stories," said Director John Stillwaggon, who also plays the lead role of Jack.
"It's very true to the original story, it has the same spirit as the original, but it has a few sort of new elements to it."
The Texas Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week on whether an injection well company trespassed onto an East Texas rice farmers land when they deposited fracking waste water into a nearby property.
FPL Framing, Ltd., a rice farming company based in East Texas, has filed suit against Environmental Processing Systems, a company that disposes of the backwash that is a result of natural gas hydraulic fracking, and in this case is accused of migrating into a farm's water supply on an adjacent property.

The Pilobolus Dance Theater is coming to the Majestic on Tuesday, January 14, but if you think you're going to see standard dance fare, you're in for some surprises.
"As a company we're always pushing ourselves to do things that we haven't done before," said dancer Eriko Jimbo.
"We're always trying to reach for the next thing," she said.
Pilobolus doesn't so many exhibit-specific dance moves and standard choreography. Their marketing calls them "revolutionary," "athletic" and "witty."

Violinist and SOLI Chamber Ensemble Artistic Director Ertan Torgul said his group specializes in contemporary classical music and has commissioned over 40 works in the group's time together.
They pay musicians to write new classical compositions and then SOLI debuts them in San Antonio.
"All we're doing really is performing stuff that is new, just like in Beethoven's day," Torgul said.
Torgul reminds us that even the classics were contemporary at one time.
"We're doing the same thing for today's composers," he said.

Goal for the Gods
POSTED: 12 January 2011
Goal for the Gods
"Punters Pad" is now completing 3 months of "Live broadcasting"…. I am sure by now you have a good idea about the strengths and weaknesses of our Tipsters…
Have you ever considered why Kenny is always tipping on Italian football? Nope, you guessed wrong, it's not the fact that he is fluent in Italian and have inside information. It has to do with a very simple fact. Kenny, is a keen lover of pizza. There is a stunning Italian restaurant in his neighborhood and Kenny hangs out there all the time. The cook likes his red wine and has a few bottles every night. This is when Kenny is trying to pick his brains and come up with the picks for his own section.
Did you ever wonder why Louis (on my left hand side) is only tipping on the Premiership? To be frank, Louis, has no real idea about football… He's true passion is horseracing. Every time he attends the races he is madly trying to ask his mates for some information to impress all of us. To relieve Louis from his misery, I have spoken to our trading team already and asked them to price up "Pub league" football. I am sure it will be far more suitable for Louis and provide him with the opportunity to demonstrate his unique knowledge and in the future help us beat the bookies with tips like "Cider united VS Lager unlimited"
As for me? You might have noticed that so far I have demonstrated a keen interest across various European leagues? English, German, Spanish… for this week, we will focus our attention to what I would call a "2nd gear" league.. the Greek Superleague.
Olympiakos is leading the race by 5 points to second placed Panathinaikos. Without really excelling this season, they have performed very consistently in an unforgiving way. Of course they were defeated by both their rivals Panathinaikos and AEK Athens but they still managed to regroup and get their pieces together.
This weekend, Olympiakos is playing at home against Panserraikos. Olympiakos at home has an impressive 8 wins in 8 games with average goal differences of more than 2 goals. On the contrary, Panserraikos, have 1-1-6 when playing away. The team of Dragan Kokotovic were defeated at home last week from AEK Athens by 1-3. This season, it's honorable to say they tend to play modern football without trying to destroy the oppositions' game by playing massive defense. Unfortunately for them, I don't anticipate they will be able to stop the League leaders and most probably their defense will conceive several goals.
Home win and over 2 goals @ 1.95

CORSICANA — The Navarro County Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths of five people found dead Sunday at their home on NWCR 0149 near Rice.
Sheriff Elmer Tanner said in a press release deputies received a 9-1-1 call about 7 p.m. Sunday from a Spanish speaking male reporting a "multiple fatality incident' at the home, telling the dispatcher that five members of his family were deceased inside the residence.
Deputies dispatched to the scene found the bodies of two adults and three young children at the home.
Tanner said detectives remained at the scene Sunday night, and were concentrating their investigation inside the residence. He added that investigators have no reason to believe there are any other suspects at this time.
Tanner said the exact cause of death of the deceased individuals has not yet been confirmed. He said he had no reason to believe that foul play was involved in the deaths.
The identities of the five deceased individuals and that of the person who reported the deaths have not yet been released.
Tanner scheduled a press conference for 9 a.m. Monday at the Navarro County Sheriffs Office to address the investigation.

Richard Saintvilus, Contributor
I provide news, analysis, and actionable investing ideas
Investing can be a funny game sometimes. For as much as bulls and bears wrestle over "conviction," every now and then it requires one to throw confidence out of the window and establish two opposing viewpoints simultaneously. This is where I've arrived with beleaguered tech giant Research in Motion, which has finally announced the release date of its long-awaited BB10 operating system. At the risk of sounding insensitive, I wonder why anyone should care.
On the heels of the company's announcement, not only have there been calls to buy the stock, but glossy-eyed investors with overwhelming hunger for a "feel good story" rush to proclaim that 2013 will be "RIM's year." Not so fast. Let's not forget this is the same company that has become synonymous with chronic self-inflicted wounds, which includes twice delaying BB10. So I worry that any ounce of optimism spent will only become wasted energy, which in a nutshell described its most recent earnings report.
Too Much Needs To Go Right Just To Become Average
RIM investors are known for their "glass-half-full" outlooks – it's a quality that I admire. But at some point, cheering for a report that arrived "less bad" than expected should get tiresome. For instance, RIM' revenue dropped by over 30% in the fiscal second-quarter. Yet the stock inched up a bit since it was much better than the 40% decline expected by analysts. Likewise, though the company reported a net loss of 45 cents per share, it was considered impressive since it arrived a penny better than estimates of 46 cents. The standards have been lowered. But how did we get here?
When assessing what RIM has become and how investors have embraced low expectations, it's hard not to fault the company's management and what has been a series of misfortune. So is now the time to put all faith in BB10? Does the company have the track record of execution to pull this off? As much as I want to give RIM the benefit of the doubt, I think too much needs to go right just for the company to reach par level.
The Competition Will Allow No Opening
It's a foregone conclusion that RIM has lost the war in the smartphone and devices market to Apple and Google. What's more, with Microsoft's recent release of Windows Phone 8, there are now three operating systems with which BB10 must compete. While it can be argued that since Apple's IOS is exclusive to Apple devices, therefore RIM's main competitors might actually be Android and Windows 8. Still, RIM's market position is little to be desired.
That said, the company does have decent shot at somehow capturing wins (if nothing else) for being a non-Android platform – especially since Apple's patent suit against Samsung created such a tangled web of Android-related chaos that phone manufactures are now looking to avoid. Nonetheless, the space remains crowded and littered with one legal battle after another as rivals fight to put each other out of business. Let's not forget there is also Nokia, which just released its Lumia 920 to rave reviews. Can RIM overcome these alternatives?
The good news is that amid all of this mess, RIM has been able to keep its nose clean. But that's only because it has been irrelevant for almost 3 years. During which it has seen its market share and stock price erode to absurd levels. So the idea that BB10 can all of a sudden change the company's fortunes is a bit farfetched, if not entirely misguided. On the bright side, that the company has now provided a date (Jan 30) can be considered a small victory after two embarrassing delays.
What's more, in addition to having significantly more apps that are considered critical to the company's success, RIM proclaims a faster and smoother phone experience. This is the same company that once places enterprise advantages above the user experience. But investors should not get too excited. This is yet a disappointment in waiting – even though the company has finally adopted touchscreen capabilities. But it's been 5 years after touch was introduced in the original iPhone.
What has become of RIM is not the "tragedy" that many wish to make it out to be. What's more, RIM is a testament to the Wall Street reality that market leaders don't hold that title infinitely. This is despite the significant competitive leverage that the company once enjoyed after having established such a large enterprise position. At one point the company had the entire smartphone market all to itself after extinguishing Palm. But now the company is facing the same amount of pressure to survive. And I think betting your entire future on BB10 is the wrong move.
Bottom Line
Sometimes it pays to listen to that little voice in your head. I have wanted to like RIM since the stock traded in the mid-teens, but I've decided to wait. Shares then tanked to the $6 range. Since then it has seen a 20% recovery – largely due to the release of BB10. However, for now, I think a "wait and see" attitude is the right approach – at least until the company's management can prove that it can get this launch right. In the meantime, the stock is at best a good short term trade. But the long term narrative for RIM has not changed, BB10 will not be enough.
Related on Forbes:
Rich – I own both AAPL and RIMM…. I am sure that you know which looks better on a "3 month chart"…. And if you are referring to BB 10 as an "upgrade" then this all makes more sense and further demonstrates your understanding of what is going on with RIM.
Oh, and why is there not a picture of a BlackBerry with a Roller Ball at the top of this article? That's another "time honored tradition"with your ilk.
I have given you a homework assignment with many things to "Google" – so that you look like you know what you are talking about – add "Who is Research in Motion's CEO"? to that list and get a picture of the right guy.
You know the guy who many iTards wish was their CEO right now – go check the "3 Month Chart" for giggles…..
Enter BB 10..
In that case, let's go back to 2006…. C'mon Rich you are talking like a grandpa with all this ancient history….
If 3 months was a good enough trend for the "jobs reports" – it's good enough for me…..
Oh, and just so you don't get "too excited" RIMM's quarter may be light as we head into the "transition" or sorry – you haven't grasped that concept – the "upgrade" quarter…
Enter BB 10….
Finally, someone gets it.
There is a problem with your site. It's misplacing my comments.
The RIM story is a classic story about a company that thought they knew what the market was all about, but missed the big opportunity. I agree with the author that RIM has practically no chance of becoming a major force in the market place.
International market share shows Apple decreasing, and Android increasing. I would expect Microsoft to garner a good share of market internationally because of the huge numbers of Nokia customers.
The US market is virtually saturated with smart phones, and it is the international arena where Microsoft will make it's move. It is possible RIM could do the same thing, but, like the author of this article, I don't thing that RIM's management can pull it off no matter how good their product turns out.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. /quotes/zigman/395806/delayed/quotes/nls/cmg CMG +0.39% is a good concept with good management but it is going from a great company to just a good company, said David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital on Tuesday. Chipotle faces many challenges but its biggest challenge is Taco Bell /quotes/zigman/303422/delayed/quotes/nls/yum YUM +1.53% , said Einhorn at the Value Investing Congress in New York. The restaurant business is tough and there are new competitors opening constantly, while prices of protein and grain are expected to rise. Chipotle will also be hit with millions of incremental costs as it will have to provide health care for its employees because of President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul bill. In comparison, Taco Bell delivers on price and convenience. The hedge fund manager also made a strong case for General Motors Co. /quotes/zigman/1466682/delayed/quotes/nls/gm GM -1.12% , noting that it is a much healthier company after its bankruptcy. GM remains an ugly duckling, he said, but it has a cheap valuation. Other stocks Einhorn discussed during his presentation include Green Mountain Roasters Inc. /quotes/zigman/30382045/delayed/quotes/nls/gmcr GMCR +0.40% and health insurer Cigna Corp. /quotes/zigman/222255/delayed/quotes/nls/ci CI +0.80% .

Well, so much for the credibility of the most recent panel discussion on the future of transit in the Triangle. Following an energetic, well-attended gathering at Marbles kids museum in downtown Raleigh early in November at which community leaders and experts touted the virtues of rapid buses, light rail and commuter trains Republican Wake County commissioners answered with a meeting of their own.
They had experts come in and assess the transit situation and lead a public discussion, also at Marbles. But thanks to Mary Newsom, a former Charlotte Observer editor now with UNC-Charlottes Urban Institute, the experts inclinations against light rail and commuter rail options were shown to be predictable.
Newsom wrote that one of those experts, Sam Staley, is connected to the Reason Foundation, a think-tank whose board members include oil industry titan David Koch, an ultraconservative political activist and contributor. And Steve Polzin of the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida, Newsom wrote, represents a center long opposed to rail travel.
The GOP commissioners, including Chairman Joe Bryan and Paul Coble, got exactly what they wanted from their experts, a conclusion that the Triangle isnt big enough to justify light rail and commuter rail. A pro-transit meeting a few days before theirs was standing-room-only and included some of the communitys most prominent civic leaders.
But Coble and Bryan dont want to allow the public to vote on whether to establish a small sales tax increase and to join Orange and Durham counties in working toward a viable transit system together. Its fair for them to raise concerns about taxes. But their meeting seemed designed to strengthen the reasons for their opposition, not to learn more about transit.
A give-and-take dialogue would be better. Instead, it seems to be more about Republicans finding ways to put the brakes on transit advances.

Aging Body, Unchanging Spirit
Integrative medicine expert Andrew Weil talks about what we have to gain by embracing the aging process rather than fighting it.
BY: Lisa Schneider
Andrew Weil, M.D., a graduate of Harvard Medical School, serves as director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, and is the author of "Spontaneous Healing," "Eight Weeks to Optimum Health," among other bestsellers. In his latest book, "Healthy Aging," Weil encourages readers to embrace, rather than deny or fight, the aging process (and explains why he believes so-called "anti-aging" products do not work anyway). He spoke with Beliefnet about the spiritual virtues of aging, why no one should be afraid of getting older, the benefits of meditation, and how he feels about his famous white beard.
You write that aging can be "a catalyst for spiritual growth." How?
|Aging as path to spiritual awakening
In the book, I used an example of the legend of the Buddha's enlightenment. When he was the young prince Siddhartha, he was kept by his father in a fantasy palace where he wasn't supposed to see anything that suggested aging and death or anything unpleasant. Then he goes out of the palace and the first thing he sees is an old man. Subsequently, he sees a corpse, a sick man, and a monk-these four sights or visitations are what really stimulated him on the path of enlightenment. So I think there is a way in which awareness and mortality and aging are certainly the most powerful reminders that we're moving in that direction; it can be a profound spiritual awakening.
I also quoted Carl Jung, who said that he thought that the major focus of the second half of life should be mortality and that anything that took away from that was in the direction of not being mentally healthy. I think in our society we see so much denial of aging and ways that people try to pretend to themselves that aging is not happening and I worry about that being a not-healthy direction. I think a common correlation we see as people become older is that they have greater interest in things spiritual or non-physical.
What do you think is at the heart of our fear of aging?
I think the root is the fear of death, which is the great mystery; it's what we don't understand and I think that's really why people turn to religion, turn to spiritual paths, to come to grips with mortality. And aging is a constant reminder that we're moving in that direction. So I think that's the root fear. Then on top of that, I think there are more specific fears: the fear of losing independence, losing pleasure in life, things of that sort.
How can we overcome these fears?
Well, I think by facing them squarely and being honest about them, that's the first step. It is very helpful to seek out people who are examples of healthy aging and see what they have to teach us. Information is a very powerful antidote to fear, having truthful information.
In terms of spirituality, are there particular things that people can do?
Well, I think there are a lot of things that people can do to attend to their spiritual health and well-being. Some of the suggestions I've made over the years include bringing fresh flowers into your house, listening to music that elevates your spirits, reading spiritual literature-inspirational literature that has that effect, seeking out the company of people in whose presence you feel more elevated, spending more time in nature. I think there is an endless list of what people can do.
On a personal level, what does aging mean to you? Is it something you look forward to?
Well, I certainly am not going to deny the aging process. I really want to think about its challenges, particularly how I want to spend my last years, and I'm in discussion with some contemporaries. We've had a lot of thoughts about trying to custom-design some kind of living facility for ourselves in which we all have our private spaces but will be able to do some things communally. That's one example of some ways I'm thinking.
Your beard is such an iconic part of your image, and you write that you have no interest in dyeing it. Do you think of it as a way to keep you mindful of the aging process?
|Why I like my white beard
I think so. I started getting white in my beard long ago, I think maybe in my late 30s, the first gray hairs showed up in it so it's something I've lived with and watched for a long time. But I rather like the way it is now. It's a white beard-I think it gives me more authority, and I think a lot of people look at me as a Santa Claus figure. That's fine with me.
You write about many things that become better with age. Can you share an example?
|Aging is like whiskey
I had a lot of fun writing about that since I hadn't seen it in print before. The examples I used were whiskey, wine, cheese, trees, violins, antiques. If you look at whiskey, aging of whiskey smoothes out rawness and greenness, it adds depth and complexity and smoothness, it adds flavors, it concentrates what's desirable. At the same time, there is the evaporation of what's less consequential and I think it's fairly easy to see analogies in human life with that process. Aging can increase value by concentrating what is most worthy and by allowing what's inconsequential to dissipate. It can smooth out roughness, add depth of character, so I just find it a useful exercise to think what aging brings out in these other areas of our experience that makes us willing to pay more money for old versions.
So you would recommend that people concerned about aging should explore these positive aspects?
Absolutely. I think in this culture especially, we are so programmed to see aging as a catastrophe and to look only at the negatives and I think it would be extremely helpful if we could look for the positive aspects as well. And I think it's exactly these positive qualities for which elders are revered in other cultures, in many traditional cultures. I think we've just got way off the beam here.
A few weeks ago I had lunch with a scientist-a very hardcore scientist who surprised me by saying that he was 80. I would have guessed his age at 62, so he was doing it very well. He said that one of the qualities that he had observed in himself that had gotten better with age was pattern recognition. When something new came by, he was better able to recognize it and know how to deal with it. And the reason he said was obviously that he's got more stored in his memories, so when something happens, he's got more against which to compare it. Therefore, he knows how to maneuver through the world better than he did when he was younger. That's just an example of something that gets better with age that we just don't hear discussed.

I don't know how helpful other people stepping in would have been; Ken was already so angry and defensive. I think it was kind of OTT to run to Tim fearing for her life, but Tim handled that situation great.
I don't know how helpful other people stepping in would have been; Ken was already so angry and defensive. I think it was kind of OTT to run to Tim fearing for her life, but Tim handled that situation great.
I got the impression there was more to the story than what was shown as most of the other designers were either neutral or slightly pro-Ken. It doesn't excuse Ken's behavior in the least but I do think it's telling that none of the designers rushed to Helen's defense.
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." Olympic Charter
I thought Ken's tirade was uncalled-for, but I also thought Helen's fearing-for-her-life was over-reacting in the extreme. Tim handled it well; I'd have been tempted to tell both of them to grow up. Given the time constraints they're all working under, it seems like all the dramatics and angst is just handing extra time to your competitiors, because they're all working while you're having your temper tantrums and time-outs.
As for the clothes, I think this season especially it seems as if the more I dislike a design, the better the judges rate it.I can understand using designing for one of Heidi's lines as a challenge (although it's getting a little old) because the designers should know what it's like to work within a client's guidelines/wishes but the exercise wear front was too limiting. There's only a few pieces to work with, the fabric choices are limited to stretchy stuff and they didn't have much of a color palette to start with. I thought Helen's jacket was ugly, except for the length and the rest of her outfit was blah. Plus drssing a bunch of stick-thin models was hardly realistic. To me, this would have been a perfect time to bring in a bunch of normal women from a local gym and have the designers come up with workout clothes that would work on them!
I'd rather be thought of as absolutely ridiculous than as absolutely boring.
I didn't get the sense that Helen was running out of fear. I think she knows Ken is all talk.
But I guess it's the chivalry in me that finds it upsetting that no guy stepped in (though Matryeshka makes a good point that perhaps there was more to the story than shown).
I liked Kate's design best, but I liked Helen's jacket. I am one of those people who wants to cover butt and hips in something other than spandex, and it would be nice to have something other than an oversized T shirt or sweatshirt-style hoodie. I spent about 4 hours one day going from store to store looking for something longer for the gym that was lightweight and had some shape to it. Couldn't find a thing. But Helen won over Kate because Nina Garcia always gets her way.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
I can hear Nina now: "It's so editorial!Helen won over Kate because Nina Garcia always gets her way.
I followed TLo's tweets from the MBFW show. Ken did not present. The other 8 did. Wonder if he drops out?
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
Yeah, I was wondering about his absence from the show. I could see him having a snit and just refusing to put together a show but it does seem more likely he did something that resulted in him not being invited to present.
Bunim Murray has let everyone who is left do the show. Either they miscalculated when the Ken auffing would occur, or he quit.
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
I hated Alexandra's clothes again. Those pants were more than ugly, they were as far from exercise clothes as you can get. It was very telling that all the judges but Heidi hates the outfit but Heidi kept her anyway. It goes to show that she does not even take the judges opinions into consideration at all and just goes with what she likes.
At this rate she should do away with the judges altogether if she is not going to let their votes count or the majority rule. She is wasting their time. Good luck selling the fugly pants to the public Heidi.
This was a Zzzzz episode. The only interesting thing about it was Tim in the referee outfit.
Kate is much less irritating this time around, but I just can't bring myself to root for her even though she's had nice designs.
I can't stand Helen and wouldn't have given her either of the last 2 wins.
Alexandria of the poopy pants doesn't bother me as much, but she's lucky that Karen had design/execution issues this week.
Ken has some issues, but I loved Tim's heart to heart talk. It was interesting to hear him at his model's walk/attitude this week.
I really wish they would throw some 2 day challenges in. It would be nice to see a well thought out, well executed design from more than 2 designers.

I am hoping Braden will get it back together.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
As do I!
I am not defending Ken because his tirades are beyond inexcusable, but I almost wonder at the editing he gets. In this episode, despite the early complaint about the obstacle course, he looked like he worked well with his partner and did a good job, surprisingly. Didn't they come in third? He also made some very nice comments about other's designs for this challenge. He seems a bit bi-polar in the editing, and I am not sure which Ken is the most dominant. Again, he has been horrible in his rants and attacks on some of the people, but then they show him acting normally one-on-one in other cuts.
Anyway, this was a really dumb and boring challenge. Kate was my winner. Top to toe her outfit was impeccable. I loved her jacket with the zipper in the back. For the life of me I can not understand why Alexandra and Heidi like those dropped crotch pants. Has anyone ever seen anyone, much less a woman, wearing those? So ugly!
Next week's episode looks interesting, with Heidi sending them back to the workroom after the runway show. Supposedly they are to make a dress for a modern southern woman.
Some of the Pilates instructors at the studio I go to wear those dropped crotch pants and love them.

The Independent
It was another seesaw battle between Raceland and Russell until the Lady Rams ran into a buzz saw.
The buzz saw was Russell catcher Arden Gross, who capped off a 4-for-4 day with a go-ahead two-run single to left field in the sixth inning of a 9-7 Russell win on Wednesday night at Russell High School.
The Lady Devils locked up the No. 1 spot in the newly seeded 63rd District Tournament. Raceland slid into the two-slot and will host Greenup County in the postseason event, which will be held at Russell on the week of May 20.
Raceland coach Shawn Johnson regretted pitching to Gross, a senior who bats third in Russell's lineup.
"I made a bad call," Johnson shook his head. "We should have never given her a pitch to hit, we should have forced somebody else to beat us. She was 3-for-3, and we threw one over her head, and she hits one into the hole.
"I don't know if there's a better bad ball hitter than Arden Gross."
Gross saw the high pitch a little differently.
"She threw it right down the middle," she said.
Earlier in the at-bat, Gross pulled a liner a few feet foul into the fence. Instead of reverting back to an old habit of racking up foul balls like a coin collector hoards 50-cent pieces, Gross settled in for a 2-2 pitch and executed.
"I've definitely grown (as a hitter)," Gross said. "I'm more calm when I'm up at the plate and I think about the pitches that they're going to throw. It's easier being a catcher because we have a strategy with our pitcher. So I'm always trying to think of what the pitcher we're competing against will throw."
Wednesday marked the third meeting between Russell and Raceland, and the Lady Devils have been a narrow winner each time — the outcomes were 4-3, 5-4 and now 9-7.
Russell (10-12) improved to 5-1 inside the district. It had dropped seven of its last nine before the latest duel with Raceland.
"It was really important because we've been struggling here of late," said Russell coach Ron Osborn. "We're still making way too many mistakes, letting too many balls drop in, throwing to the wrong base ...
"... but that No. 1 seed is huge," he continued. "I still think we're going to make some noise in the (16th Region Tournament)."
Hope Parsley put Russell on the scoreboard first, and in emphatic fashion. The junior parked a three-run home run to center field to tie the game at 3-3 in the first inning.
Raceland (16-11) had already started off with a bang. Taylor Podunavac and Savannah Mackie led off the first inning with back-to-back doubles. Leigh Grubb's bloop single to right field plated Bre Grubb and Madison Johnson to give the Lady Rams an early 3-0 advantage.
Following Parsley's home run, Raceland allowed two more Russell runs before knotting things back up in the fourth inning. Bre Grubb dropped an RBI single into right, and the ball slipped under the glove of the right fielder as the game-tying run scored.
Raceland pulled ahead again in the fifth, when Kelsey Diller skied a run-scoring double to right center field with two outs to make it 6-5. Morgan Curley followed with a slicing single to left that brought home Diller.
Russell answered the door again, as Parsley tallied her RBI total to four with a well-executed bunt and Sara Hieneman followed with a two-out RBI rocket up the middle to tie the contest at 7-7.
Lady Devils pitcher Mallory Powell settled down to retire seven of the last eight batters she faced as her batterymate did the rest with her bat. Gross's fourth single of the evening scored Cassie Fultz and Hannah Carter — Fultz had drawn a leadoff walk and Carter had singled with two outs.
Defensive substitute Alexis Maynard made a fine diving catch in right field to help back up Powell in the top of the seventh.
With the district tournament less than two weeks away, Gross's eyes lit up when asked about the high-level competitiveness in the tight 63rd.
"I'm so excited," she said. "That's what I've been looking forward to."

HOUSTON -- Texans fans in one neighborhood are taking their football spirit to the street.
On the 7600 block of Sherman Street near the Ship Channel, every day is a block party. Every house on block features some kind of Texans décor. Even the utility poles have caught Texans fever.
Mario Perez, a true Texans fan from head to toe, is leading the neighborhood charge.
"We're gonna win the Super Bowl we've always been the NFL's ugly sister, but the ugly sister's gonna get a ring this year," said Perez. "She's gonna get married and get a ring this year."
Perez said he started decorating his house two years ago, and before long, his neighbors joined in.
"It wasn't like he forced anybody to do it. It just happened. I mean everybody's all for Houston," said Danny Contreras, Perez's neighbor.
Everyone is welcome on game days. Contreras said the street is "crazy awesome and beautiful" when the Texans are on TV.

The Clemson men's soccer team finished strong by wrapping up the regular season with a persuasive 3-0 win at home over ACC-foe Virginia Tech.
Coming on the heels of a 2-2 road-draw with top-ranked Maryland, the win over Virginia Tech capped a late season surge, and secured the Tigers' spot as the fourth seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament, as well as the right to host Boston College in a quarterfinal round.
"I'm delighted with the players and their performance," said Clemson coach Mike Noonan. "They deserve all the credit. They prepared properly. About fifteen minutes into practice yesterday, I knew they were going to perform well tonight."
With Francklin Blaise, Bo Godwin, and Austin Savage receiving senior night honors, it was fitting that Savage put the Tigers on top with a goal in the 24th-minute. Picking up a deflected cross from the left, Savage dribbled into the box, left-center, and from 16 yards found the back post corner of the net with a right-footed shot curled deftly around a defender and Hokies keeper Kyle Renfro.
Savage's goal, which was his team-leading eighth of the season, rewarded an early stretch of fluid attacking play by the Tigers, and brought some relief to Noonan, who's sometimes seen his team struggle to convert its chances.
"I was just hoping that their performance was going to turn over into goals," said Noonan. "In the first half, our first twenty-five or thirty minutes was outstanding and we only had one goal to show for it. The post was in our way, and their goalkeeper is very good, which we knew going in. We knew we were going to have to beat them with quality, and Austin's goal was high-quality."
In a development which Noonan sees as significant, Savage appears to be emerging as the consistent threat in front of goal that the Tigers have sometimes lacked this season.
"It's huge," said Noonan. "Austin's capable, there's no question about it. He's always been capable. With Austin it's always been about his internal motivation to do it game-in and game-out. With any goal-scorer, their confidence is better when they score goals. Once he started scoring goals, he's dangerous.
"And he can score them any which way. He had a hat-trick against Gardner-Webb, and it was really four goals because he was called off-side on one, but he had one with the left foot, right foot and the head. But it's also the guys who are getting him the ball."
Clemson withstood a flurry by Virginia Tech late in the first half, refocused at halftime, then put the game away with a pair of second-half goals by Alex Stockinger.
Stockinger's first tally came in the 64th-minute, and resulted from Renfro saving a shot by Savage on a breakaway, but giving up a long rebound. With Renfro stranded on the floor near the penalty spot, Stockinger closed at the eighteen and buried his shot low in the left-side back of the net.
A holding midfielder who rarely gets a whiff of goal, Stockinger struck again in the 71st-minute. TJ Casner let Ara Amirkhanian's low left-side cross spread inside, and Stockinger's first-time right-footed shot from 22 yards skipped to the lower right corner of the net and beat Renfro to his left.
"He's turned into Lionel Messi in the last three games," said Noonan. "The beauty of Stocks is that he's just so grounded, that the goals won't affect him at all. He'll just go out and try to do a workmanlike job like he always does."
Clemson improved to 6-8-4 overall, and 3-2-3 in the ACC, while Virginia Tech slipped to 6-9-3 and 0-7-1. The Tigers had 20 shots to the Hokies' 10, and had a 9-4 advantage in corner kicks. In goal, Clemson's Cody Mizell had 6 saves, while Renfro was credited with 5.
"That was a pretty good performance tonight in a big moment," said Noonan. "I was just happy because it was a complete performance. You guys usually ask me, 'Who played well?' Well the team played well. When you get those kinds of performances, then hopefully you can build on it. That's as complete a game as we've played this year, and it's a good time to be doing it."
