GOP, DEFICIT HAWKS PAN OBAMA'S $3.9T BUDGETWednesday, 05 March 2014 06:24 Published in National News
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are dismissing President Barack Obama's new $3.9 trillion budget as nothing more than a Democratic manifesto for this fall's congressional campaigns, but the fiscal plan is taking hits from another quarter too — anti-deficit groups.
Obama on Tuesday sent lawmakers a 2015 budget top-heavy with provisions that have little chance of becoming law. They included $1 trillion in tax increases — mostly on the rich and corporations — and a collection of populist but mostly modest spending boosts for consumer protection, climate change research and improved technology in schools.
It even trumpeted $2.2 trillion in 10-year deficit reduction, though most of the proposed savings, including fresh tax boosts plus cuts in government payments to Medicare providers, seemed long shots to make it through Congress. Almost one-third came from claiming savings from the end of U.S. fighting in Iraq and troop withdrawals from Afghanistan.
That meant the budget's clearest impact was political: feeding Democrats' election-year narrative that they are trying to help narrow the income gap between rich and poor while creating jobs. Republicans, who see tax cuts as the surest way to help the economy, pounced.
"The president has once again opted for the political stunt for a budget that's more about firing up the president's base in an election year than about solving the nation's biggest and most persistent long-term challenges," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
"This budget isn't a serious document, it's a campaign brochure," said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Obama and his Democratic allies saw things differently.
"It's a road map for creating jobs with good wages and expanding opportunity for all Americans," the president said while visiting an elementary school in the nation's capital. He added that his plan would help curb budget deficits with higher taxes on the wealthy and other savings, "not by putting the burden on folks who can least afford it."
Despite those words, pressure for lawmakers to take serious swipes at budget shortfalls has faded.
After four years of record-setting annual deficits that each exceeded $1 trillion, the budget gap dropped to $680 billion in 2013 and could continue downward. Obama's budget projects shortfalls of $649 billion this year and $564 billion in 2015.
A bipartisan compromise curbing agency spending for the next two years, combined with the usual election-year pressures to avoid politically risky steps, has further diluted lawmakers' desires to tackle the problem.
But Washington groups that press to control budget shortfalls argue that the government's long-term fiscal problem remains.
They argue that retiring baby boomers and ever-rising health costs threaten to swamp revenues in the long run, running federal debt to levels that are hard to sustain without risking economic problems. Even with Obama's proposed savings, the government would still run up $4.9 trillion more in debt over the coming decade, on top of more than $14 trillion it already owes.
"The longer we wait, the more painful the changes will be," said Maya MacGuineas, a leader of the bipartisan Fix the Debt Campaign. "We can't let election-year malaise be an excuse for inaction on such an important issue."
"Stabilizing the debt over the long term is a key part of any sound fiscal policy and viable economic strategy for America," said Michael A. Peterson, president of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
In a nod to controlling the budget, Obama's fiscal plan proposes to live within a compromise spending limit for agencies reached in December between Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wis.
But on top of that, Obama proposed $55 billion in additional spending priorities, divided evenly between defense and domestic programs. These include repairs for bases and more weapons purchases for the military, plus domestic programs like upgrading national parks and increasing grants to schools that train students for jobs.
Obama would pay for the entire add-on by limiting tax breaks for retirement benefits of the wealthy, cutting some farm subsidies and boosting airline passenger fees — none of which have realistic chances of enactment this year.
Without that extra money, Pentagon spending would be $496 billion in 2015, the same as this year. The Pentagon plans to shrink the Army from 490,000 active-duty soldiers to as few as 440,000 over the coming five years, the smallest since just before World War II, reduce ship purchases and take other steps that defense hawks in Congress are unhappy with — especially since Russia's takeover of Ukraine's Crimea region.
Obama's budget also calls for $302 billion for roads, mass transit and railroads over the next four years; doubles to $1,000 the maximum earned income tax credit for childless low-income workers; and spends $66 billion over the next decade for preschool programs for all 4-year-olds.
Tobacco taxes would rise an additional 94 cents per pack, up from their current $1.01. A corporate tax overhaul would quickly yield $150 billion as loopholes were tightened on U.S. companies doing business abroad, and other companies and financial institutions would face $56 billion over 10 years from a new fee.
None of those proposals are going anywhere quickly on Capitol Hill.

PUTIN TALKS TOUGH BUT COOLS TENSIONS OVER UKRAINEWednesday, 05 March 2014 06:22 Published in National News
MOSCOW (AP) — Stepping back from the brink of war, Vladimir Putin talked tough but cooled tensions in the Ukraine crisis Tuesday, saying Russia has no intention "to fight the Ukrainian people" but reserves the right to use force.
As the Russian president held court in his personal residence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with Kiev's fledgling government and urged Putin to stand down.
"It is not appropriate to invade a country, and at the end of a barrel of a gun dictate what you are trying to achieve," Kerry said. "That is not 21st-century, G-8, major nation behavior."
Although nerves remained on edge in the Crimean Peninsula, with Russian troops firing warning shots to ward off Ukrainian soldiers, global markets jumped higher on tentative signals that the Kremlin was not seeking to escalate the conflict. Kerry brought moral support and a $1 billion aid package to a Ukraine fighting to fend off bankruptcy.
Lounging in an arm-chair before Russian tricolor flags, Putin made his first public comments since the Ukrainian president fled a week and a half ago. It was a signature Putin performance, filled with earthy language, macho swagger and sarcastic jibes, accusing the West of promoting an "unconstitutional coup" in Ukraine. At one point he compared the U.S. role to an experiment with "lab rats."
But the overall message appeared to be one of de-escalation. "It seems to me (Ukraine) is gradually stabilizing," Putin said. "We have no enemies in Ukraine. Ukraine is a friendly state."
Still, he tempered those comments by warning that Russia was willing to use "all means at our disposal" to protect ethnic Russians in the country.
Significantly, Russia agreed to a NATO request to hold a special meeting to discuss Ukraine on Wednesday in Brussels, opening up a possible diplomatic channel in a conflict that still holds monumental hazards and uncertainties. At the same time, the U.S. and 14 other nations formed a military observer mission to monitor the tense Crimea region, and the team was headed there in 24 hours.
While the threat of military confrontation retreated somewhat, both sides ramped up economic feuding. Russia hit its nearly broke neighbor with a termination of discounts on natural gas, while the U.S. announced a $1 billion aid package in energy subsidies to Ukraine.
"We are going to do our best. We are going to try very hard," Kerry said upon arriving in Kiev. "We hope Russia will respect the election that you are going to have."
Kerry also made a pointed distinction between the Ukrainian government and Putin's.
"The contrast really could not be clearer: determined Ukrainians demonstrating strength through unity, and the Russian government out of excuses, hiding its hand behind falsehoods, intimidation and provocations. In the hearts of Ukrainians and the eyes of the world, there is nothing strong about what Russia is doing."
The penalties proposed against Russia, he added, are "not something we are seeking to do. It is something Russia is pushing us to do."
World markets, which slumped the previous day, clawed back a large chunk of their losses on signs that Russia was backpedaling. Gold, the Japanese yen and U.S. treasuries — all seen as safe havens — returned some of their gains. Russia's RTS index, which fell 12 percent on Monday, rose 6.2 percent Tuesday. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 1.4 percent.
"Confidence in equity markets has been restored as the standoff between Ukraine and Russia is no longer on red alert," said David Madden, market analyst at IG.
Russia took over the strategic Crimean Peninsula on Saturday, placing its troops around its ferry, military bases and border posts. Two Ukrainian warships remained anchored in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, blocked from leaving by Russian ships.
"Those unknown people without insignia who have seized administrative buildings and airports ... what we are seeing is a kind of velvet invasion," said Russian military analyst Alexander Golts.
The territory's enduring volatility was put in stark relief Tuesday morning: Russian troops, who had taken control of the Belbek air base, fired warning shots into the air as some 300 Ukrainian soldiers, who previously manned the airfield, demanded their jobs back.
As the Ukrainians marched unarmed toward the base, about a dozen Russian soldiers told them not to approach, then fired several shots into the air and said they would shoot the Ukrainians if they continued toward them.
The Ukrainian troops vowed to hold whatever ground they had left on the Belbek base.
"We are worried, but we will not give up our base," said Capt. Nikolai Syomko, an air force radio electrician holding an AK-47.
Amid the tensions, the Russian military test-fired a Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. Fired from a launch pad in southern Russia, it hit a designated target on a range leased by Russia from Kazakhstan.
The new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev, which Putin does not recognize, has accused Moscow of a military invasion in Crimea, which the Russian leader denied.
Ukraine's prime minister expressed hope that a negotiated solution could be found. Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a news conference that both governments were gradually beginning to talk again.
"We hope that Russia will understand its responsibility in destabilizing the security situation in Europe, that Russia will realize that Ukraine is an independent state and that Russian troops will leave the territory of Ukraine," he said.
In his hour-long meeting with reporters, Putin said Russia had no intention of annexing Crimea, while insisting its residents have the right to determine the region's status in a referendum later this month. Tensions "have been settled," he declared.
He said massive military maneuvers Russia has conducted involving 150,000 troops near Ukraine's border were previously planned and unrelated to the current situation in Ukraine. Russia announced that Putin had ordered the troops back to their bases.
Putin hammered away at his message that the West was to blame for Ukraine's turmoil, saying its actions were driving Ukraine into anarchy. He warned that any sanctions the United States and European Union place on Russia will backfire.
American threats of punitive measures are "failure to enforce its will and its vision of the right and wrong side of history," Russia's Foreign Ministry said — a swipe at President Barack Obama's statement a day earlier that Russia was "on the wrong side of history."
In Washington, Obama shot back. Moves to punish Putin put the U.S. on "the side of history that, I think, more and more people around the world deeply believe in, the principle that a sovereign people, an independent people, are able to make their own decisions about their own lives."
"And, you know, Mr. Putin can throw a lot of words out there, but the facts on the ground indicate that right now he is not abiding by that principle," Obama said.
The EU was to hold an emergency summit Thursday on whether to impose sanctions.
Moscow has insisted that the Russian military deployment in Crimea has remained within the limits set by a bilateral agreement concerning Russia's Black Sea Fleet military base there. At the United Nations, Russia's ambassador to the U.N., Vitaly Churkin, said Russia was entitled to deploy up to 25,000 troops in Crimea under that agreement.
Putin also asserted that Ukraine's 22,000-strong force in Crimea had dissolved and its arsenals had fallen under the control of the local government. He didn't explain if that meant the Ukrainian soldiers had just left their posts or if they had switched allegiance from Kiev to the local pro-Russian government.
Putin accused the West of using fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych's decision in November to ditch a pact with the EU in favor of closer ties with Russia to fan the protests that drove him from power and plunged Ukraine into turmoil.
"I have told them a thousand times 'Why are you splitting the country?'" he said.
While he said he still considers Yanukovych to be Ukraine's legitimate president, he acknowledged that the fallen leader has no political future — and said Russia gave him shelter only to save his life. Ukraine's new government wants to put Yanukovych on trial for the deaths of over 80 people during protests last month in Kiev.
Putin had withering words for Yanukovych, with whom he has never been close.
Asked if he harbors any sympathy for the fugitive president, Putin replied that he has "quite opposite feelings."
ANALYSTS: RUSSIA UNLIKELY TO PULL BACK IN CRIMEAWednesday, 05 March 2014 06:21 Published in National News
WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia is unlikely to pull back its military forces in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, analysts and former Obama administration officials say, forcing the United States and Europe into a more limited strategy of trying to prevent President Vladimir Putin from making advances elsewhere in the former Soviet republic.
It's an unsettling scenario for President Barack Obama, who is under pressure to show he has leverage over Putin in a deepening conflict between East and West. The threat of economic sanctions, along with a series of modest measures that include canceling trade talks with Moscow and suspending plans to attend an international summit in Russia, have so far done little to persuade the Russian leader to pull his forces back from Crimea.
"I'm not optimistic they're going to leave," said Michael McFaul, who served as Obama's ambassador to Russia until just last week.
McFaul, in an interview on MSNBC, said he was expressing his personal view, not speaking on behalf of the administration. White House officials have condemned Russia's military maneuvers in Crimea as a violation of international law and insist they would oppose any long-term occupation of the region.
"We would not find that to be acceptable," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday.
A senior administration official said it would be up to Ukraine's central government to decide the future of Crimea, where nearly 60 percent of the population identify themselves as Russians. The official said the U.S. would oppose any Russian efforts to formally annex Crimea or recognize its independence, steps that would echo Moscow's moves during its 2008 conflict with Georgia, another former Soviet republic.
Ukraine is in the midst of a monthslong political crisis sparked by ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's rejection of a partnership agreement with the European Union in favor of historical ties with Moscow. After Yanukovych fled Ukraine last week, Russian forces quickly moved into Crimea, despite Obama's warnings that there would be costs for violating Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Putin's fast and defiant dismissal of Obama's threats sparked a new round of criticism from the White House's Republican opponents. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., accused Obama of having "a feckless foreign policy in which nobody believes in America's strength anymore."
Obama and his advisers insist they still have an array of options at their disposal, the most stringent being economic sanctions that could go into effect as early as this week. The European Union appears to be treading more cautiously, but the bloc's 28 leaders are set to decide on initial sanctions at an emergency meeting in Brussels on Thursday.
But even with tough economic penalties, some regional analysts say it may already be too late to reverse course in Crimea.
"The idea that there's a contest over Crimea is a little silly," said Matthew Rojansky, a Russia analyst at the Wilson Center, a think tank in Washington. "It's in Russian hands and it was always on the verge of being in Russian hands."
Rojansky said the most pressing concern for the U.S. is instead to keep Putin from pushing into Russian-friendly areas of eastern Ukraine, where U.S. officials are warily eyeing ethnic skirmishes. Putin on Tuesday said he saw no reason for Russia to intervene there at the moment but added that he reserved the right to take that step if Russian speakers in the region were in danger.
The Crimean peninsula is separated from the rest of Ukraine by geography, history and politics. It only became part of Ukraine in 1954, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave the peninsula to the republic where he began his political career, a transfer that hardly mattered until the Soviet Union broke up in 1991 and Crimea ended up in an independent Ukraine.
Crimea's port city of Sevastopol is also home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet and its thousands of naval personnel. Yanukovych, the ousted Ukrainian president, extended the fleet's lease until 2042, but Russia fears that Ukraine's temporary pro-Western government could evict it.
The U.S. is not calling for a full Russian withdrawal from Crimea, the Obama administration official said, but does want Moscow's forces to return to their normal operating position at their base, where they have an agreement with Ukraine to keep up to 11,000 troops. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the situation by name and would speak only on condition of anonymity.
The situation in Crimea has drawn comparisons to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, two breakaway territories of the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Russia has continued to maintain a military presence in both, violating a cease-fire that ended its 2008 military conflict with Georgia and ignoring repeated condemnations from the U.S. and Europe.
Barry Pavel, who worked on the White House National Security Council under both Obama and President George W. Bush, said reasserting control of Crimea may be even more important to Russia than the Georgian territories.
"Russian nationalists consider this to be practically Russian territory," said Pavel, who now serves as vice president of the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank. "The chances of Russian forces ever leaving where they are are very low."
The long-term ramifications of Russia's remaining in Crimea are unclear, particularly as the rest of Ukraine works through its next steps following Yanukovych's ouster. But Heather Conley, a Europe analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said it would be a dangerous proposition for the U.S. and Europe to allow Putin to view gains in Crimea as an opportunity to launch incursions elsewhere in the region.
"Then this does start looking like appeasement," she said. "If you believe that more is in the offing, you have to take a stand now."

DuPage County sheriff agrees to job cuts
By Susan Frick Carlman email@example.com November 20, 2012 6:40PM
DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba
Updated: December 24, 2012 6:53AM
DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba knew something had to give. It turned out that something was a program that keeps an eye on offenders while they're working. The impact on the Sheriff's Work Alternative Program, however, should be minimal.
The county's longtime top cop spoke to the DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee Tuesday, acknowledging that he will live with a proposed 2013 budget distinguished by seven eliminated jobs, all of them in his department.
"I have been meeting with the State's Attorney, Chief Judge and many of you, including the board chairman, concluding that SWAP should not be eliminated ... I appear here today to agree that my full-time head count be reduced by seven, but I am asking for flexibility in implementing those reductions," Zaruba said.
Rather than lay off seven deputies, Zaruba will plan to let two officers and five office staff members leave by attrition and then not replace them, Finance Committee Chairman Paul Fichtner said. About 60 employees leave the department of their own volition each year, according to County Board Chairman Dan Cronin.
The $432 million county spending plan, under discussion for the past several weeks, is slated for adoption at the County Board's meeting Tuesday morning. Four deputies were among the most recent to appear before the board to oppose the cuts, one of them speaking for the group last week.
Deputy Joyce Pfeifer, who will mark 20 years with the department next year, suggested that cuts would be better made elsewhere.
"There was a time when nine board members, like every other comparable county, were enough to get the job done. Why is it that we now need 19 board members to get the same job done?" said Pfeifer, who also took the board to task for paying the county chief of staff a $181,000 annual salary and the chief financial officer $163,000.
Cronin said he and Zaruba discussed the cuts, agreeing the SWAP program plan made sense. He said he respects the sheriff's authority.
"He is the expert on public safety," Cronin said Tuesday. "My responsibility in this county and this form of government is the budget."
The SWAP program will make do without the two deputies, hanging on to the remaining officers who oversee people convicted, mostly of crimes involving drugs, while they work.
"We have found that the presence of the law enforcement officer really makes a difference in this program," Cronin said. "That conveys the message to these individuals, and we think that that's a big part of why we aren't seeing the rate of recidivism in this type of crime."
The budget put up for board vote next week will not deviate from the plan Cronin proposed more than two months ago. Fichtner said he has heard no opposition from the rest of the board.
"As finance chairman, I'm looking forward to a very quiet vote," he said.

Suave, I'd say.
I'm not so big on Richard Dawson. Is he supposed to be charming?
Richard Dawson was the man. He set the bar, and every host who's followed knows it. Sometimes they've tried to imitate his style, and it just comes off as awkward and unoriginal. For instance, it seemed okay for Dawson to put his arm around the shoulders of the contestants during the fast money round, but when Richard Karn does it, it just looks silly.
Another thing that bugs me is the excruciating amount of time Richard Karn spends commenting on nearly every response given. Ray was guilty of this too. I know Richard Dawson did it, but generally he was brief and funny. To me, Ray and RK interrupt the momentum of the game having so much to say about every. single. response. And often not being all that funny, either. And in Karn's case, the frequent pauses (in his speech pattern) compound my misery. They both just appear to be trying too hard.
One final grump about RK. During the fast money round (which is the only part I care about) he often (sometimes more than once per show) forgets to tell us what the number one answer was. I like to play along during fast money, and feel totally cheated when he forgets to tell me what was number one. Richard Dawson rarely, if ever, forgot. [/grump]
Despite what I've said about Richard Karn, I do think he's the second best host, but a distant second to Dawson.
ETA: Gosh, that was a really negative rant, but it sure was cathartic.

I liked Richard Dawson but he slurred his speech too much and just became kinda squirky as he aged and still wanted to kiss on all the ladies. Perv. Richard Karn is just painful to watch for the reasons mentioned before: drags out the time until an answer is revealed and tries to hard.

There's a fairly recent (Al Borland era) home edition that you can probably track down on the cheap. I'm fairly sure we got it for like ten bucks out of a bin at Media Play when we had a Feud party last year. The trick was transcribing the questions from the DVD, which took forever.

Heavy Duty: Keeping Up With Modern ABS
What your technicians need to know about troubleshooting today's ABS.
"(Technicians need to know) not only those specifics, but how the systems work as a whole—theoretically speaking, how the ABS monitors wheel speed, how it's looking at wheel speed and how it reacts during certain vehicle maneuvers is also a key that a lot of technicians really need to know when they're working on a system," he says."
The basics are still just as important though—when installing or removing the systems, Williams says technicians should make sure they stick to proper procedures.
"Be careful where they tie-strap a connector or a wiring harness," he says. "That is very important."
Bendix's Conklin says their system will announce the need for maintenance, giving technicians one less thing to worry about.
"Of course, a driver with good pre-trip inspections and periodic vehicle inspections is always a good practice, but the system keeps pretty good tabs on its relative health and the diagnostic tools available make it fairly simple to diagnose and service," he says. "We don't get a lot of calls we don't understand, because the tools have reached a maturity and also the technicians have reached a maturity where they've got it."
Good preventative maintenance practices are still important, though.
"These don't take away the responsibility for keeping an eye on things and keeping things in adjustment and checking things out ahead of time," Andersky says.
Stocksdale says most ABS problems are related to the power source or wheel speed sensor.
"Anytime you're maintaining the wheel end or an initial installation, make sure you have a good, solid installation; the sensor pushed up against the exciter ring and again, dialectic grease at any connecting point," he says.
Today's ABS can help keep your trucks moving safely down the road, and fleets have plenty of good options to meet their needs, but ultimately how well they work depends on you and your technicians.
While modern electronics have certainly made it less time-consuming to properly maintain anti-lock braking systems, it takes no less dedication to making sure none of your technicians takes a shortcut in the shop that could lead to disaster on the highway.
The trick is getting your technicians to buy into the fact that while checking the brakes might now take a lot less of their workday, they can't give it short shrift.
Do that, and ABS will help keep your fleet safely and efficiently moving forward.
Bob Blair, CEO of Lite-Check said the company's "910B" inspector is a necessary tool for technicians that maintain ABS.
Blair says the advantage of their tool is that it can test a vehicle's air, brake and electrical systems, which are all connected to ABS.
"So on the electrical (side), for example, if the software in the tester discovers a circuit fault it will automatically sound an alarm and tell you what the fault is," Blair says. "So the technician can be at the rear of the trailer, 50-70 feet away from the tester, press a button like a brake circuit, and he hears the alarm and he can see that the lights are not operating correctly and now he knows he's got a problem. The moment he corrects that, the alarm (shuts) off."
The goal, Blair says, is reducing the time needed for technicians to diagnose ABS problems, leaving them more time to make repairs.
"TMC conducted a survey and determined than 30-35 percent of a technician's time was spent diagnosing, not fixing, so we've approached it from the standpoint, 'Can we get that information to the technician within a second?'" he says. "And now you're getting a good population of vehicles out there with ABS on it, and (fleet officials) are also starting to realize the time required to diagnose the problems. (Also), when the technician is on the service truck, he now only needs this one tool and when he connects with the seven-way (plug), he can read ABS and electrical at the same time."
Well-maintained fleet vehicles' ABS should be checked after every major cross-country run or every 30 days, Blair says, so being able to make a quick check is important.
"The advantages of not having road costs and violations and all that kind of things are incredible," he says. "When the tester can identify what the problem is with that sensor within a fraction of a second, how much help is that for the person working in the rain?"
The tester comes with manual and a "cheat sheet," but Blair says they are rarely needed.
"We rarely get a call on how to use it," he says. "You connect the seven-way and the two airlines, press the ABS key and it will automatically search and identify which type of system is on the trailer and automatically pull up the first fault on the screen. If the technician is not familiar with that fault, he hits another button and it will scroll through a help process—'Check this, measure this,' whatever, so he doesn't need a manual."

I've been having a hard time deciding what my favorite bike for this years show is, but when it comes down to what bike is the best looking that's easy it's this one. I think this is the best looking project we've done ever.
The bike starts with a custom Parlee TT frame (Thanks Tom, Bob and the crew at Parlee.) Then it was sent to artist Geoff McFetridge. Geoff did an amazing job on it. I do want to note that there are no decals on this bike. Also there is no black paint on it, the black sections are nude, unpainted carbon. Geoff did this paint job entirely by hand and from what I understand it took a massive amount of time, and it looks like it did. The bike is fitted with a custom drilled Sturmey Archer 3 speed fixed gear hub (thanks David.)
Again we'd just like to take time to offer our most sincere thanks to Geoff. For anyone interested in knowing more about his work and his design studio, go to his website: http://championdontstop.com I would like to note that Geoff is an artist and not a painter, please do not contact him about doing custom paint on your personal bike(unless budget is of no concern to you.)
For those of you in the NYC area, Geoff has a solo painting show opening at Half Gallery in NYC (208 Forsyth St. NYC) Tuesday Sept. 21, we encourage you to check it out.
Finished weight is 13.5 pounds.

April 25 2014 Latest news:
Story by: JOHN ELWORTHY
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
A road was closed yesterday and will re-open today with an emergency 40mph speed limit following two deaths and four other incidents in which all the vehicles plunged into the adjacent river.
The decision was taken by Peterborough City Council following the discovery of a body of a motorist in the river at North Bank near Whittlesey on Monday.
Simon Machen, the council's director for growth and regeneration, said: "The road was closed by the police on Monday after a man's body was discovered in a car in the River Nene.
"I took the decision to keep it closed so our highways inspectors could carry out a full inspection."
Whittlesey residents campaigning to build a barrier along the stretch of the road where most incidents have occurred promised to step up their protests and plan a meeting tomorrow (Thur) night to discuss their next move.
Colin Martin, who began the 'North Bank Road Let's Make It Safe, Let's Save Lives' a month ago following the death of a friend's daughter in the river, says support has been overwhelming.
Mr Martin said his group – which has already achieved 3,300 'likes' on Facebook and has contributed to a 2,500 signature petition calling for improvements- would be out in force in Whittlesey on Saturday.
He's hoping for a massive turn out for a four hour rally from 10am at the Buttercross and one key objective will be gather more signatures on the petition.
"We appreciate it takes time for something to be done but surely the authorities must act before another tragedy happens at this spot?" he said.
Cambridgeshire Police confirmed that the body of the motorist pulled from the Nene on Monday could have been there for up to a week.
Police were called to the waterside on Monday afternoon after reports that a vehicle had been spotted partially submerged.
Keith Pettitt, 50, of Deene Thorpe, Corby, was pronounced dead at the scene after the Skoda Octavia he had been in was recovered from the River Nene which runs alongside the road in Whittlesey
PC Tim Kirkby, investigating, said: "I would appeal to anyone who saw the vehicle enter the water or saw it being driven along that stretch of road between Tuesday (November 26) and 2.30pm on Monday."
Anyone with any information should call the Roads Policing Unit on 101
Mr Martin began his campaign following the death of Hannah Yates, 18, at the North Bank on November 3. Her father Phil has since become active in the campaign to get urgent safety measures along the road.
"I am told there have been 11 deaths along that stretch of road in the past 25 years," said Mr Martin. "I did not know Hannah but I did know her father so when she died I thought it was time to do something."
Mr Martin, 42, and a father of five, said the group would also be fund raising and had joined forces with the longer established Fenland Road Safety Campaign that had already secured a barrier at Bedlam Bridge near March.
So far the Whittlesey group has raised nearly £1,400 in a month towards the estimated £15,000 contribution locally to help provide a barrier but Mr Martin is hopeful the city council will fund it all.
"Whilst I welcome the 40mph limit being introduced its still not good enough. I know this is something but much more needs doing," said Mr Martin.
He confirmed that Mr Yates would be representing the group at a meeting in Peterborough on December 12 at which local councillors and highway officials will discuss safety along the North Bank.
Steve Barclay, the MP for NE Cambs, said that what had happened on the North Bank was "a simply appalling chain of accidents."
He said he had arranged the Peterborough meeting and shared the desire of Whittlesey people "to get action on this road".
He has also written to the divisional director of the Highways Agency "calling for an urgent report on what immediate steps need to be taken to protect those using this stretch of road."
Mr Machen said his officers had inspected the road at the end of last week following three cars entering the river in 36 hours and from which eight people escaped.
"Our initial inspections of the road last week and today have found no defects with the road or its surface," he said last night.
"However, we are aware of a number of incidents in the past week and have therefore decided as a precautionary measure to introduce a temporary 40mph speed limit until we can fully investigate any road safety issues.
"This will be in place when the road re-opens at some point on Wednesday. We are working closely with Cambridgeshire Police to ensure enforcement measures are put in place. If new measures are required following consideration of the police investigation reports and our ongoing inspection, an appropriate scheme will be designed and implemented."
Mr Machen said the council had invited the Fenland Road Safety Campaign to next week's meeting "to discuss this important issue.
"As with all roads we would urge people to drive carefully and safely, especially at this time of the year with dark nights and frost and ice."
Mr Martin revealed that Mr Yates was finding it particularly hard to cope but had thrown his weight behind the improvement campaign.
"Every time something happens along there he is devastated, and this latest discovery of a body is bringing it all back again to him," said Mr Martin.
"But I have to warn the council that this campaign is not going away. We gave them the warning, they haven't acted and they are now paying the price".

It is pointless putting an emergency 40mph speed restriction on this road, because nobody will take any notice of it, until they are the ones heading into the ditch or river, wait until the snow and ice come, it will be worse, I drive a lorry for a living and quite often drive on Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire fenland roads, and they are uneven the highest point of the road is in the middle and sloping away to the edges of the road, and having a laden lorry on these uneven roads is not alone dangerous but frightening if you are the driver, I am often clinging on for what seems dear life at low speed as the lorry is tilting every time there is a dip in the road and you still get cars trying to overtake and there is no where to go as the roads are so narrow and the lorry could lerch at anytime into the path of another vehicle..

There are countless roads all over the Fens which need barriers and or speed limits- the road beside the 16 Foot, the Earith to Willingham Road for a stretch, Ramsey Forty Foot etc Roads our grandparents drove on in little old black motors are now really busy, commuters live in former farm worker cottages and the farm workers drive in from Chatteris and March etc-far more traffic than the roads were built for. Cambridgeshire does not seem to have much of a budget when it comes to Fen roads.
Wednesday, December 4, 2013
And our political masters force councils to give planning permission to build more and more houses in areas where there are no jobs so they have to commute along every busier inadequate roads.

Rodwell lauds City character
- 26 August 2012 19:15
- Posted by Mark Booth
City's newest recruit is determined to take the positives out of City's 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Rodwell came on as a second half substitute and had the misfortune to be called for the handball that led to Liverpool's second goal.
But he remained upbeat about his start to life as a Blue in Manchester.
"It was difficult to adapt to the new system but I think the lads did well," the midfielder declared.
"In the first 30 minutes we dominated the game and we got back into it in the second half, so we have to take the positives from that."
Rodwell's concession of the free-kick that led to Liverpool's second goal was the only controversial moment of the match, with the ball hitting his arm from close range and the 21-year old admitted he was unsure about the award.
"I'm not sure, I just slid in and I know it hit my chest but I'll have to watch the video," he said.
I was shocked the ref gave it because I was so close to it and I couldn't have got out of the way
...Jack Rodwell...
"I'm not sure we could have done anything about the free-kick itself as it was a great strike but we'll have to look to improve on it next time."
Coming from behind for the fourth consecutive match was one of the positives Jack referred to in the post match interview.
"It showed great character to come back from being behind twice and Carlos scored a great goal," Rodwell concluded.
"We have to keep grinding these points out away from home, especially at places like Anfield and we'll just take away the positives from today."

text: UPDATED 07:12 17th July 2012 George Elokobi joined Wolves from Colchester in the transfer window of January 2008, signing a two and a half year contract for an undisclosed fee. The Cameroon-born defender joined the Us in the summer of 2004 from non-league Dulwich Hamlet. He was to make over 40 appearances for the Essex side as well as a handful in a short loan with Chester City. Playing at left-back, Elokobi became an instant hit with the fans following his debut game at Blackpool in February and he kept his place in the team for the remainder of the season apart from the FA Cup tie at Cardiff as he was cup-tied. In fine form at the start of the 2008/09 campaign, Elokobi suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury at Ipswich at the end of August which prompted a long and hard road to recovery. But his attitude and previous form was such that he was handed a 12-month contract extension in February, 2009, tying him to the club until 2011. And incredibly he made it back in time for a cameo appearance as a late substitute on the final day of the season as Wolves celebrated the Championship title with a win against Doncaster. Elokobi's rags to riches story continued as he came off the bench to make his Premier League debut from the bench in the defeat at Manchester City in August, 2009. Having lost his place to Stephen Ward, he returned strongly to finish the season as first choice left back, ultimately marking his rookie top flight campaign with 17 league starts and five outings as substitute. This earned him a new deal at the start of the 2010/11 season, a three-year agreement extending his Molineux stay until the summer of 2013. He made 32 appearances in all competitions in the ensuing season, scoring three goals in the process two of which came against Manchester United. He also moved closer to a lifelong dream of representing Cameroon, being called up first for a training camp and then an African Nations Cup tie but headed into the 2011/12 season still awaiting his first cap.

That's great news! Enjoy it while it works.
One caution though: An old software developer's adage: If a problem seems to go away for no reason, it will usually come back by itself.
I hope your situation proves this adage wrong.
Yes, you are right. After a restart everything went back to normal and the issue reappeared...
I'm having the same problem on 64-bit Win7. No plug-ins installed, tried the registry hack -- no luck. However, the type of seleciton makes a difference.
Is anyone else noticing these different behaviors? This issue basically renders Photoshop unusable for serious production work, and it's clear this issue is affecting a large number of users. Adobe needs to get on this issue.
I think this is normal behavior. To copy the contents of a layer you need to Select All (Ctrl-A) and then the Copy command will be available.
Doh, you're right. I'm confusing my frustration with the intermittent system clipboard, and been using Fireworks too much recently.
CTRL+A selects all, but to copy a layer press CTRL+J or click Layer > New > Layer via Copy.
THREE PAGES OF POSTS OVER MANY MONTHS. Imagine if this were a Toyota Prius with an accelerator issue. Can you think of an industry where this is tolerated? Dishwashers mayb? ABOBE, get on it! Put some resources to fix fundamental problems!
ABOBE, get on it! Put some resources to fix fundamental problems!
Please read the topic before posting.
We've spent a lot of time on this, and found that the causes were third party plugins and external applications (especially JDownloader).
We've forwarded all our findings to Microsoft, but there's currently nothing we can do about it.
Chris - Thanks very much for the update. From all the work done to the present, do you have any guidance for Win7/64-bit CS5 users? For example, it seems prudent to check for normal clipboard function after installing any new plugin.
Also note that the issue appears even without any extra Photoshop plugins or out-of-the-ordinary programs installed; my clipboard issues existed on a completely clean install. I only had PS+BridgeCS5, 3dsmax2011, Autocad2011, Lotus Notes and MS Office installed. Clipboarding between the other applications worked flawlessly. Sure, Notes is a possible culprit... it's a weird piece of software. But what makes CS5 clipboard access different from that of the other applications?
Hope you solve it til CS6.
But what makes CS5 clipboard access different from that of the other applications?
We, and Microsoft, have no idea. We're doing things by the book, and it should all be working. But in the failing cases we've seen one of the OS APIs returns bogus information - as if something external was patching the API and got it wrong.
Adobe Team: READ THIS!
Even if I remove all plug-ins from the Plug-ins folder, the problem is still there.
Removing the Plug-ins folder solves the problem. So I guessed that this is
something Photoshop is doing, and after a lot of trial and error, I found this:
If I change the Permissions for CREATOR OWNER on the Plug-ins forlder
to DENY, the problem goes away. But, I do not know if this makes any
problems for any of the plug-ins. So I have tried to find out which entrys that
has to be denied to minimize any side-effects. I found that changing any of
the ones mentiond below, will create a error message whe applied.
This solution also removes the problem with not being able to do more
than one COPY - PASTE or making several PrintScreens without restarting Photoshop.
How to do this:
Right-click on Plug-ins folder (Make shure you are in the 64bit folder)
Choose Properties
Go to the Security tab
Click on CREATOR OWNER
Click on Advanced
Click on CREATOR OWNER ( Inherited from C:\Program Files\ )
Click on Change Permissions
Click on CREATOR OWNER ( Inherited from C:\Program Files\ )
Click on Edit...
In Permissions, tick the "Deny"-box for these entry`s:
List folder / read data
Read attributes
Read extended attributes
Create files / read data
Create forlders / append data
Write attributes
Allow the rest in the list.
Click OK
There should now be a new Permission entry at the top saying Deny
for CREATOR OWNER ( <not inherited> )
Click OK on the to next windows and you are done.
Start Photoshop and be happy until you find out that something is wrong, and post it here.
I guess that it would be enough to tick only one of the boxes to make this problem go away,
but I`ll leave that to others to find out...
Are you sure about that?
Removing all the plugins, or disabling them, is the same as removing the plugins folder.
And as far as we, Microsoft, and other users can determine: the plugins have nothing to do with clipboard problems.
I tried to edit my post, but have no permission??...
Yes ofcoarse I`m shure! I have been testing this all day ant tried to find
out which permissions to Allow/Deny. If you give me permission to
post mor pics, Ill show you the whole prosess.
- Copy/Paste works fine with the solution I presented in my last post.
- Any other settings that allows any of the settings I have listed to be
- denied, will result in a error message.
And so on.. no need to write it all over agein..
" Microsoft, and other users can determine: the plugins have nothing to do with clipboard problems."
Have they tried to completly remove the Plug-ins folder and see what happens?
(Photoshop needs to be closed/restarted.)
That`s what I did. And everything worked fine. I then used the elimination method to
recreate the problem. I even made a new forlder on my desktop called Plugins and
added it to the Photoshop folder. Without adding any plugins and as soon as I had
startet Photoshop, the problem was back. Explain that!
I have very little experience making permission, but as I knew that there was
happening something to this folder, I tried every thing I could think of, and this
is what I found. Now I expect you to explain WHY
Could anyone with this problem please confirm that removing the Plug-ins folder
removes the problem?
Yes ofcoarse I`m shure!
Without the source code to the application, and a complete knowledge of all the APIs involved -- you can't be sure.
I have that knowledge, and am pretty sure that tweaking the plugins folder has absolutely nothing to do with the clipboard problems.
All we know about are the JDownloader bugs (where they patch the clipboard incorrectly), and a likely bug in Microsoft clipboard APIs (which Microsoft is investigating). The clipboard API problem does seem to be fairly random, and could easily hide for a while due to small changes in the memory layout of the app or uninitialized variables in the application memory space.
Have they tried to completly remove the Plug-ins folder and see what happens?
Yes, that is one of our earliest troubleshooting steps to rule out Adobe's plugins, and any third party plugins, as the cause.
I can duplicate Eagleizer's solution. The clipboard on my computer does work after the changes listed. However....
All of my add on Filters, except Topaz, disappeared from the interface
the Delete key no longer worked.
Filters that disappeared after the permission change included; Digimarc; Nik Vivieza 2, HDR Effex Pro; and Imagenomic (all 3).
Note: My Topaz filters are not in a seperate folder in the Plug-ins folder but are shortcuts.
Win7 x64, PS CS5 x64
I ment that I was sure about what I found out. I have no clue about codes LOL
I never said I knew what is causing the problem, I also said that it might
have some sideeffects and others have to figure out that part. I was hoping
that this might give you another clue to find out what is going on. It is not
a good solution to remove the permissions as I have done, as it also
stops many of the plug-ins from loading. But if you need to do a lot of
printscreen - pasting, it is easy to apply and even easyer to remove
again later. Better than restarting Photoshop for every printscreen you`re
going to make. And it`s the only solution I have found so far. Helps me,
hope it helps someone else..
Clint - then try disabling groups of plugins until you narrow down the one that is causing your clipboard problem.
What a waste of time among the passionate. Adobe could fix this but doesn't. Keep going. All of you. Praise management!
The problem no longer exist when I disable Nik HDR Effex Pro. I have downloaded the latest version and tried Nik's solution listed in post 85.

And in turn, what a waste of time reading your useless post.
Just how could Adobe fix problems caused by a 3rd party plug-in, pray tell? By disabling the ability to install 3rd party plug-ins?
Hi there. I am really late to this thread, and it's quite a confusing one. I am not sure what's up or down.
Regardless, I just wanted to say that I am having the awful clipboard problem. It really kneecaps my productivity.
I am running Windows 7 Professional x64, with CS5 32bit at the moment. I have no 3rd party plugins.
If I can be of any help at all in solving this problem, I will gladly pitch in.
Same issue here.
WIndows 7, PhotoShop CS5 64 bit
Only difference. I could paste about 2 or 3 different sreenshots before my clipboard wasn't updated anymore. Only a PS restart would clear the clipboard. I''ve been scanning this thread and saw a lot of pointers about Plug-ins. As far as I know I've none, that weren't there with the install, so I tried this and it worked.
So this is what I found out and I realize this sounds absolutely crazy. I'm not an expert, but renaming a folder inside your program files needs administrator approval. I you confirm, you can rename the folder. Same for renaming it back. So my guess, is that there are some rights issues on this folder initially, that mess up the clip board access. By accessing this folder for renaming, those rights get changed and you're back in business.
I know this is a thin one, but it's fast one to check for yourself and maybe it works for you. And unlikely, but maybe this is a new clue for the people of Adobe and MS.
Hi there,
Even though I am running the 32bit version, I tried Yves solution and it worked.
In Windows Explorer I renamed the Plug-ins folder to Plug-ins_ just to change it. I launched PS and copy and paste worked perfectly. I quit PS, renamed the folder back and launched PS again. Copy and paste worked perfectly.
It's weird I know, but it worked.
Keith@Intergraph wrote:
I quit PS, renamed the folder back and launched PS again. Copy and paste worked perfectly.
Are your plug-ins still available now?
I don't have any 3rd party plug-ins installed. All the normal stock plug-ins work fine.
The only plugin I downloaded, that I am aware of, is "ICOFormat64.8bi" to get support for icons. And the Save as ICO option is still available in my dialog. So for now. Yes, it works.
@Keith. TnX for checking.
I hope there are more people who can have a go at it. If this appears to be working for the majority, maybe the people at Adobe and MS know where to look and hopefully conclude it's an easy to fix thing.
It was a real pain in the ***. I don't know how many of you use repeated screenshots to get the lay outs of their css design right the same way I do (this field needs to be x pixels wider then I had in my previous screenshot to match the original design).... Working this way means about 5 to 10 screenshots a minute. Stopping and starting PS all the time, slows you down quite a bit.
Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone
In my work I take tons of screenshots each day, pasting them into PS for all kinds of purposes. Having to close and re-open PS all day long has been a drag.
I received an email April 6th from Nik that HDR Effex Pro 1.2 update had been released. Installed it and now my clipboard works as it should.
After several months of working correctly, I now have the clipboard problem again.
The first clip will paste and never again.
I have no new plugins.
I tried the rename, rename Plugins folder to no avail.
I have had this problem for some time. PS CS5 64-bit, Windows 7. I tried renaming the plug in dir and starting PS and the clipboard works fine. I put back the original dir name, started PS and the clipboard is broken again. The only plug in I have purchased is Viveza 2 by Nik.
Just to be absolutely sure... Find the Nik plug-in itself, and rename it by putting a tilde (~) in front of the name to disable it. Make sure the problem follows just the presence/absence of that plug-in.
Assuming that specific plug-in is at fault, It seems pretty clear, then... You need to contact Nik and demand an updated version to fix this problem. Breaking the clipboard is an absolutely unacceptable side effect, and th
Assuming that specific plug-in is at fault, It seems pretty clear, then... You need to contact Nik and demand an updated version to fix this problem.
Breaking the clipboard is an absolutely unacceptable side effect, and they can't very well refute that it's their problem if you present them with this kind of evidence.
By the way, renaming the plug-ins subfolder then renaming it back seems VERY unlikely to solve any problem. To the person or persons who did this and found it to make a difference, I would ask whether it was possible that any other factors changed at the same time. It seems to me it must be a coincidence.
Hi Noel. Being a software developer and architect for over 20 years, I would be one of the first to say that renaming the plug-ins folder and changing it back wouldn't do anything.
But, it did.
I have no freaking idea why it worked, but it did. I can ALT+PRT SCRN all day long and Photoshop works perfectly now. Before it was a productivity nightmare.
I added ~ to the names of the Viveza plug in and its selective tool plugin and the clipboard works great.
I restored the name of just the selective tool and the clipboard is broken again.
More experiments:
only put ~ in front of only the selective tool, not the main plug in and the clipboard works fine.
only put ~ in front of plug ins folder name and clipboard works fine.
These experiments are repeatable.
It appears, in my case, to be the selective tool that comes with the Nik Viveza plug in. I will update my case with them.
You and I seem to share the same background, Keith. I wasn't disputing that you saw what you saw; I believe you.
And if you're like me, you HATE it when the computer does something you can't explain.
I can only guess that starting Photoshop without the offending plug-in present (or some other coincidental factor that occurred when you did that) caused a setting to be changed, where it would not have done that (for some reason) as long as the plug-in was present. It's also just hard to imagine such a setting, that would unclog the clipboard. Lots of stuff that seems unlikely all together in one theory.
Unfortunately your particular sequence doesn't seem to be working for all others.
reference. posts 88 and 118
My guess is that the Nik Software fix for their Color Efex Pro 3.0, which works for me, .will also fix your problem with Viveza 2.
Download this file as described in NIK post 88 and my 118 post
and copy it to the Selective Tool folder.
Restart CS5 and things should be good again.
Good luck!
It does!
You're welcome Alan -- glad something works now and then!

Marey tankless electric eco240

Marey tankless electric eco240
I have searched and searched, I'm am still lost. I bought a Marey tankless electric Eco240. I need to know if I made a good choice before I install. I have 3 full bath, dishwasher and washer. Incoming water pressure is 50 psi. Incoming water temp is 60 degrees. I would like to make sure I can supply at least 2 showers at once and maybe a sink. I can't find any reviews on this product nor do I have any experience with them is there anyone that can help?
Jun 01, 2013, 06:49 PM
how many circuits, and of what size, does it need? once you know that, you can compare it to other-branded tankless heaters to see what the specs are. the prime OEM builders of water heaters in the US are Rheem and A.O. Smith, and almost all other brands you see in home centers come from one of them. there are sizing and use guides on the websites, once you can cross-reference with a works-alike.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Jun 01, 2013, 11:57 PM
Hate to say it but I don't think you have a prayer of making it work as a whole house unit. Two showers at once will take about 4 GPM. At that rate, the Eco 240 can only raise the base water temperature by 42 degrees. With a base of 60, you will have 100 degree water - tepid at best. And that's not considering if any other hot water is used while the showers are in use. Kick in a dishwasher or a washing machine and you'll be down to 85 to 90 degree water. Not a very pleasant showering experience.
Beyond that, the unit requires three separate 40a 240v circuits to power it up. If you have any large draw electric appliances (Clothes dryer, one or more A/C units, Range etc) then you will need a second 200 amp service to the house to power just the tankless water heater.
Electric tankless are just not suitable for a whole house application - the numbers just don't work. In addition to the above, the cost of operation is more than a conventional gas water heater - much more. About the only area that they can be justified would be if you have a large tub that the tankless unit supplies a a single point-of-use appliance.
Not what you want to hear but I'd be returning it if you can.

Thanks for your help, ya not what I wanted to hear but better to find out now before it was to late. Thanks for your help it has made up my mind and seriously appreciated.
