Report: Bucks in running to acquire J.J. Redick -- if they can deal Monta Ellis
By Rob Mahoney
The Bucks clearly aren't content letting their two leading scorers drift toward free agency. The trade rumors come in flurries at this point in the season, and not every report can be taken at face value. But a slew of top-notch NBA reporters have made frequent mention of the Bucks in relation to a variety of potential trade targets, which makes sense given that GM John Hammond has a number of pivotal decisions on his plate. His latest consideration: a rumored deal for Orlando's J.J. Redick per Ken Berger of CBS Sports:
If Milwaukee gets involved in discussion of a larger deal involving Smith or one of their own starting guards, Jennings or Monta Ellis, one valuable piece who could be added to the mix is Luc Mbah a Moute. Teams like his defensive versatility, rebounding and a reasonable contract that declines from $4.8 million this season to $4.4 million in 2014-15, which coincides with the NBA's next big free-agent frenzy. One deal that has been proposed is Mbah a Moute and a first-round pick to Orlando for J.J. Redick, who will be a free agent this summer, multiple league sources say. The belief is that Milwaukee would only do that deal if they moved Ellis first.
It's obviously a hypothetical deal which may not happen at all (or might change significantly even if it does come to pass), but Redick -- even as an impending free agent -- is a worthy target as a complement to the Bucks' growing core. His work off the ball would open up things beautifully for a more functional pick-and-roll offense, thus clearing the way for Brandon Jennings to get to the rim more consistently. Plus, his persistent perimeter defense would surely save Larry Sanders a few of those Ellis-induced headaches, not to mention prevent the shot-blocking big man from picking up so many cheap fouls while cleaning up the defensive mistakes of the Bucks' backcourt.
On Orlando's end, this would be a solid return on a coveted trade chip. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is a fantastic defender on a reasonable deal, and the first-round pick would give the Magic another piece to play with in future trades or as an element of their rebuild. It'd be nice to keep Redick around, but it makes perfect sense for a team looking to maximize its assets to bank on a sure acquisition of a rotation player and future first-rounder rather than court Redick in free agency in the hope that he isn't swayed by a contender. All of that said, once we start getting into the realm of discussing trades that are contingent on other trades, we risk inflating the probability of an inherently unlikely scenario. It's hardly certain that Milwaukee will deal Ellis at all, though it appears Hammond is at least entertaining the possibility. That said, if things on that end fall through, then so too might a prospective deal for Redick or whichever other guards the Bucks have in mind.


text: I love HRC events. They are more like real hunting and they get the kids involved (very family oriented). Maybe it was just easier for me to make lasting friendships with HRC folks. I now live in Delaware and the HRC events are way too far away and no one to train with for the event so I run AKC hunt test. The scenerios rarely resemble hunting but do test the dogs well. In the end it is all about testing the dogs and having fun.

Though Kickstarter staff were helpful and enthusiastic about the project, Kickstarter's charter does not allow them to sponsor or allow safety-related devices. They are paranoid of liability.Indiegogo is very similar, and they worked with me to launch the campaign in only a few hours. Same basic idea, except indiegogo is worldwide and not just United States.http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/348405I have also set up a twitter (my first ever) account for the project, @bishopvalve
I could use a few recommendations for a bench and portable meter, a bench power supply, and an inexpensive storage oscilloscope capable of the frequencies we generally deal with in Arduino projects (Ghz not needed), and a good soldering station.Thoughts? I had a friend tell me to get a Fluke Scopemeter... Looks like an amazing device, but overkill and too expensive. I am just trying to put together a little more reasonable workspace for this...

Statoil is moving ahead with a multi-well drilling campaign offshore Newfoundland and Labrador, with a semi-submersible rig to be in the province to begin the work later this year.
Drilling work will be focused in the Flemish Pass Basin, about 500 kilometres northeast of St. John's, according to a vice-president of exploration for Statoil, Geir Richardsen.
Statoil has three finds in the basin — at the Bay du Nord, Harpoon and Mizzen sites.
In 2013, Bay du Nord was revealed as the company's biggest oil discovery outside Norway and the world's largest conventional oil discovery of the year by volume, with an initial estimate of 300 million to 600 million barrels recoverable.
"What we've decided to do after last year's discoveries is to come back and drill more wells in that area," Richardsen said.
"The rig will be here later this year. It will start on a campaign which is going to be 18 months of drilling, so one and a half years as a minimum commitment and we will start of course a program in and around the Bay du Nord area," he said.
The plan is for a combination of appraisal wells and new exploration wells, meaning the drilling campaign will have the potential to result in the identification of new resources.
There is no set number at this point for how many wells will be drilled.
The work does not mean any guarantee of an oil development. It is the company gathering more information to weigh in considering future work, particularly at the Bay du Nord prospect area.
"A decision on a development is going to be dependent on the results we see in the upcoming drilling," Richardsen said.
About 500 people are expected to be employed on the Statoil drilling program, directly and through contractors from the supply and service community.
In addition to confirmation of the extended drilling program, the company has designated Newfoundland and Labrador as a core exploration area. This means the ability to prioritize resources for the area, such as the drilling rig now expected in 2014.
On top of the exploratory drilling, the company will be undertaking a 1,900 square kilometre seismic program this summer.
The work commitment comes alongside a fourth quarter financial report for Statoil's international business, where the company presented a plan to reduce capital spending in 2014-16 over previously stated plans — to the tune of $5.5 billion (US$5 billion).
Despite pulling back spending, Statoil has gone ahead with announcing clear commitments for Eastern Canada. Richardsen said the work announced was ranked, as per the company's regular reviews, landing high enough to warrant the investment.
"For offshore Newfoundland, that is a good story," he said.
(Earlier story)
Offshore Newfoundland and Labrador has today been named a core area of exploration for Statoil, with the company prioritizing work in the province's Flemish Pass Basin.
Addressing investors this early morning, Statoil leadership announced the company will bring a semi-submersible rig capable of deepwater work to the province and move ahead with drilling more exploration wells in its offshore acreage within the next two years.
Statoil has three finds in the Flemish Pass Basin, about 500 kilometres northeast of St. John's — at the Bay du Nord, Harpoon and Mizzen sites.
In 2013, Bay du Nord was revealed to be the company's biggest oil discovery outside Norway, with an initial estimate of 300 million to 600 million barrels recoverable.
More to come.

Dr. Ghazanfar H. Qureshi, assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, said approximately 20 percent of the world's adults are estimated to have high blood pressure.
If left untreated, high blood pressure, which has no symptoms, is very dangerous and can often lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke.
With this in mind, Dr. Qureshi, who serves as an interventional cardiologist with USA Physicians Group, said he recommends home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) for all patients with high blood pressure, or blood pressure in excess of 140/90 mm Hg.
Dr. Qureshi said home blood pressure monitoring provides a clearer picture of patient's blood pressure with fluctuations over time instead of instant "snapshots" taken in the doctor's office.
"For my clinic patients with high blood pressure, I always ask them to have home blood pressure monitoring irrespective of their blood pressure in the office," he said. "This provides me detailed information about their trends in blood pressure and helps me to better understand and treat them more effectively."
In some cases, patients have normal blood pressure at home, but their blood pressure in the doctor's office rises. This phenomenon, called "white-coat hypertension," is most likely due to stress or anxiety. HBPM helps to diagnose patients with "true" high blood pressure versus falsely elevated blood pressure in the doctor's office.
"HBPM is especially useful in elderly patients, because the white-coat effect increases progressively with age," Dr. Qureshi said. "Such false readings at the doctor's office can lead to over-diagnosis or misdiagnosis of high blood pressure."
Dr. Qureshi said blood pressure is recorded as two numbers. The top number (systolic pressure) represents the pressure in blood vessels when the heart is contracting, and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) represents the pressure in blood vessels between heart beats.
Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
Patients monitoring their blood pressure at home, said Dr. Qureshi, are getting the added benefits of becoming more educated about their health care and the adverse effects of high blood pressure.
"HBPM gives patients control over their blood pressure and treatment," he said. "They are directly involved in the management, which also improves their compliance to the medications."
The American Heart Association recommends an automatic, cuff-style, bicep (upper-arm) monitor for measuring blood pressure at home. Blood pressure monitors can be bought from any local pharmacy without a prescription.
Dr. Qureshi said to make sure you buy the correct cuff size (small, medium or large) and validate your blood pressure cuff with your doctor's office blood pressure machine. Then, you can start measuring your blood pressure at home.
"While taking your blood pressure, be still and sit with your back supported, take multiple readings one minute apart (preferably in both arms) and try to measure at the same time daily," he said.
Dr. Qureshi recommends measuring blood pressure a couple of times a day and maintaining a log book with the date, time, and reading. "Always bring your log book on your next visit so that your doctor can adjust the medications according to your home blood pressure readings."

Stashed the new, reissue green anakin starfighter at Burbank K-Mart. Scans at $19.99. PM me for location.
When scanned, it read "as advertised" in the scanner. I guess that's their "sale" price.
I was surprised that Burbank Target finally had nearly-full SW pegs yesterday--and at noon, too! The entire FU wave was there but for Vader, and some of the 'new' Legends with the Rex sticker. The only Fan's Choice was a lonely Zev. More ROTS-wave as well. I picked up the Jump Trooper and the 'flesh-tone' Maris for fodder.
Kinda disappointed in Hasbro's cheap take on the Jump Trooper. The art highlights the shortcuts, where they gimped the blaster (I didn't need the red glowing bit, but it WAS much bigger than the normal E-11) and left out the jetpack. Even the pose differences in the art showcase it all between front & back of the card, with the front desperately clutching his tiny blaster in two hands. I'm not army-building the two Stormies, but they are fun figures... just lame accessory choices. I may get a couple more to customize, possibly paint the black suit gray to better match the McStormie, and/or to cannibalize for parts to make better legs for the McStormie.
I may get a Shadow Guard eventually, but besides possibly extra Rahms, Stormies, or Junos for customs, and a couple more SA 501sts and some Neyos, I'm pretty much done. If only GIJoe was actually stocked regularly so I could turn to it for my toy fix
Just got back from a toy run.
Target Inglewood had one lone Zev figure and a couple boxes of Grievous' ship. They had about 4 Order 66 packs with a couple of Choi's.
Target Manhattan Beach had 3 Rahm's, 1 Marris and a couple of Tri-Droids.
TRU Hawthorne had some TFU figures in stock.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Allows for Automated Traffic Fines
Tiffany Kaiser
October 9, 2012 8:47 PM

(Source: Universal Pictures)
The new automated traffic fine system incorporates sensors built into vehicles and Communication and Information Technologies (CITs)
If you're the type of driver that leans more toward offensive rather than defensive driving, you might want to take it easy on the speeding and pay attention to those stoplights -- systems to
automate traffic fines
are in the making.
Researchers from the Universidad Carlos III Madrid's (UC3M) Information and Communication Technology Security Group have been working on the E-SAVE project, which aims to use IT to improve traffic regulation.
The new automated traffic fine system incorporates sensors built into vehicles and Communication and Information Technologies (CITs). The new system has three main components: a mechanism that allows drivers to report others while maintaining anonymity and authenticity; a way for sending the notification of a fine directly to the vehicle in question, and a mechanism that allows the offending driver to create electronic evidence in order to defend him/herself in the case that they receive a notification. The offending driver can do this by "asking" surrounding drivers with sensors to be witnesses to the scene.
The whole system is based on
vehicle-to-vehicle communication
via sensors, where cars can trade information in the flow of traffic and allow for crimes to be reported.
A huge aspect of the new system is to keep driver information confidential so that credentials are not stolen or abused. It's also important that driver information is updated and accurate for the purpose of sending fines correctly. The team is doing this through a project called PRECIOUS, where cryptographic methods of anonymous authentication and zero knowledge tests are used. This rids the duplication of information.
The system will be tested in "the coming months."

Oliver MESSEL
Oliver Hilary Sambourne Messel (b London, 13 January 1904 – d Barbados, 13 July 1978) studied painting at Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1922–24. There he began making masks and in 1925 some of these where shown in the Claridge Gallery exhibition Character masks. Both Diaghilev and the English impresario Sir Charles Blake Cochran saw this exhibition and Diaghilev commissioned Messel to create masks and symbols for the Ballets Russes' London production of Zéphire et Flore (1925).
Messel continued to work for Cochran, producing masks for his annual revues at the London Pavilion in the late 1920s. He produced set and costume designs for Cochran's production of the opera-bouffe Helen (1926) and The miracle (1932). In 1937 he was commissioned by the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo to produce designs for its ballet, Francesca da Rimini, at Covent Garden, London.
From 1932, while continuing to design for the theatre and ballet, he branched out into film, designing sets and costumes for the MGM film version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1936). In 1944 he began work on Caesar and Cleopatra (1945), on which he was costume designer, art director and uncredited as the jewellery designer. In 1960 he was nominated for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration Oscar for his work on Suddenly, last summer (1959). He also designed for many Broadway productions in New York, collecting numerous Tony Award nominations and winning the Best Scenic Design award in 1955 for House of flowers.

I was embarrassed how much I laughed at "The Hangover," which was good, old-fashioned profane humor from start to finish. My soul was dirtied but I was entertained.
My high hopes for "The Hangover II" weren't anywhere close to met. The movie was just as profane, but the laughs were hard to find.
I didn't know what to expect with "The Hangover III." I went in with an open mind, and ended up having a pretty good time at the movies.
Consequences from the first movie catch up to the guys this time. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are taking Alan (Zach Galifianakis) to a rehab facility in Arizona when a moving van runs them off the road.
Before you can say, "Plot device," Doug's been kidnapped, and Phil, Stu and Alan must find Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), or Doug will be killed.
Writer-director Todd Phillips deviates from the formula, because the trio aren't trying to retrace forgotten steps after a drug-infused night of epic excess.
The group dynamic between Alan's child-man, Phil's cool-guy-in-over-his-head and Stu's nerd-with-a-wildside works as well as it ever has. Throw Mr. Chow into the mix, and the recipe is combustible.
But the characters aren't always their one-note selves. Both Alan and Mr. Chow have unexpected moments of introspection that fit well with the rest of the movie.
Alan also finds a love interest in Cassie (Melissa McCarthy), who lacks all the same social filters he lacks. Woe to anyone forced to attend a family reunion with that pair.
There's plenty of bad language and adult situations, but "III" is tame compared to the previous movies – at least, that holds true until the closing credits, which are worth waiting for if you want an embarrassed laugh for the way home.
I've seen other reviews that punished "III" for not living up to the original "Hangover." It's true. That experience hasn't been replicated, but "III" has its own charms, and I didn't feel like I needed a scalding hot shower afterward.
I give "The Hangover III" a B plus.
It's showing at Malcos in Tupelo, Oxford, Corinth and Columbus, as well as Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville and Movie Reel 4 in New Albany.
Wizard review
Kelli Karlson with Wizard 106.7 gives "The Hangover III" a D.
"Go see 'Star Trek.'"
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.

By Ben Levisohn
In the battle between youth and experience, youth is winning out–at when it comes to the stocks of China's internet-search companies.
So far this year, shares of Baidu's (BIDU), China's dominant search engine, have dropped 15%, while Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU)–the young upstart–have gained 21%.
Baidu's shares have been slammed by its rising costs, which have eaten into its profit margins, as it tries to stave off competitors and migrate to mobile. Qihoo, however, should benefit as it ramps up advertising on its search platform, says Maxim Group's Echo He.
We also believe that QIHU is able to generate material search revenues in the coming quarters. In the near term, the majority search revenue should come from revenue sharing with Google (GOOG, $845.72, NR). Over the time, major revenue contribution should shift to QIHU's own ad system. Management considers growing its own ad system a priority. This may lead to near-term sacrifice of revenue and earnings growth given that we believe sharing revenue with Google may provide QIHU more ad revenue (Google may have much higher CPC) and higher margins (QIHU will likely recognize shared revenue on a net basis). That said, the sooner QIHU establishes its own ad system, the more upside likely to its long-term search revenues.
Even its costs seem reasonable, He says.
QIHU spent $74M in purchasing property and equipment in 2012, the majority of which was on equipment. It plans to spend $70M-$80 on equipment this year. We believe the scale of QIHU's capital expenditure is in-line with that of industry leader Baidu (QIHU's 2012 revenue was less than 10% of Baidu's), which spent ~$280M and ~$370M on fixed assets in 2011 and 2012, respectively. We view QIHU has more upside growing from a low base.
Qihoo's stock has gained 8% today to $37.13, while Baidu has jumped 2.1% to $86.28.
Qihoo is expected to release earnings on May 20, according to Yahoo!

I have installed Cinnamon, and tried both Cinnamon and Cinnamon2d. Both crash frequently, although I have been able, with a bit of cleverness, to get them restarted without logging out. Right at the moment the 2d one is taking, as reported by top(1), 151% of a CPU to do basically nothing. The autohiding panel flutters like an ingenue's eyelashes. Overall, all I can say in its favor is that it's mostly not so bad as Gnome 3. I will be switching back to Mate, but have become curious about E.
My daughter is learning Russian on her own, using memrise.com. The web page construction is kind of clunky, but wow! Learning a language through to basic fluency in 20-30 hours is very appealing. I may actually get to learn Arabic and Khoisan. Khoisan is the oldest language in the world, spoken mainly in the Kalahari now. Linguists seem to agree, to the extent they can agree at all, that Arabic is the most beautiful to listen to.
It is distinctly possible that I may get to live in my house by Christmas.

May Is Water Safety Awareness Month
It's also the month SWIM Central marks a significant milestone – 2.5 million water-safety lessons taught since the program was established in 1999. More than 400,000 children have participated in this nationally recognized water-safety program, which has long been identified as "Broward County Commission's Primary Resource and Referral Service for Available Swim Programs in Cooperation With Various Cities and Nonprofit Organizations."
Drowning is the number-one killer of children under the age of 4 throughout the United States. Since its inception, SWIM Central has aimed to reduce the number of drowning incidents in Broward County. The solution has been to provide up to 10 water-safety education lessons per year to children who are enrolled in public schools, day-care centers, and preschools throughout Broward County.
As it has grown, SWIM Central has evolved into more than water-safety education classes for schoolchildren. With the introduction of program mascot Sandy Pelican, SWIM Central has become more active in community events that promote drowning prevention, sending representatives to provide on-site water-safety presentations at schools and day-care centers. This expands the program's reach beyond those 30,000 children who annually receive in-water instruction.
This summer, with support from its partner the S.W.I.M.S. Foundation – other funding partners include the Children's Services Council of Broward County and the School Board of Broward County – SWIM Central will launch the SWIMS Summer Program in several pools throughout the county, providing additional water-safety, CPR, first aid, and swimming instruction for children ages 7 to 13.
For more information, call SWIM Central at 954-357-7946.
Think Greenery
Looking for some plants to spruce up your home landscape? Look no further than the Broward County Plant Affair. The popular event – co-sponsored by the Plantation Historical Society and the GFWC Plantation Woman's Club – takes place the weekend of May 4 and 5 at Plantation Heritage Park, where you'll find a plant show and sale with up to 30 vendors. Among the offerings: native plants, bonsai, orchids, cyclamens, bougainvillea, and bromeliads, as well as gardening supplies and porch and patio items. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. For more information, call Betty Cobb at 954-797-2722 or 954-581-6464, or the park at 954-357-5135, ext. 0. Plantation Heritage is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #30.
For a greater emphasis on indigenous plants, there's the Go Native in Broward County Plant Sale, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, at Secret Woods Nature Center. Native plant nurseries and vendors will display and sell plants native to South Florida, as well as plants conducive to butterfly and wildlife gardening. For more information, call the nature center at 954-357-8884. Secret Woods is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #6.
Holiday Fun
Two major holidays this month provide opportunities for a fun outing in a park: Mother's Day, on Sunday, May 12, and Memorial Day, on Monday, May 27. All Broward County Parks will be open their regularly scheduled hours (except Deerfield Island Park and the Markham Target Range, both of which are normally closed on Mondays).
Shelters and indoor facilities of all sizes are offered for rent. Reservations are required, however, so call now to check availability. All shelters have picnic tables, most have grills, and many also have water, electricity, and restrooms. Amenities at indoor facilities vary. Freestanding picnic tables are also available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout most of our parks. For more information, visit our Website. Enjoy your holiday in the park!
Find Nature's Paradise
Learn how to navigate Broward County's remaining pockets of nature – many of them located in our parks – when the Anne Kolb Nature Center offers a new program called Become an Expert Explorer. Participants in the program, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, will learn tools and tips for discovering nature's treasures. The fee is $2/person. For more information, call the park at 954-357-5161. Anne Kolb is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #12.
Double, Double Toil and Trouble…
Fire burn, and caldron bubble. The witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth conjured up a hellish mix that included "Eye of newt, and toe of frog / Wool of bat, and tongue of dog." Don't expect to come up with anything quite that exotic when Secret Woods Nature Center offers Concoctions, Potions, Blends, and Brews: Extractions, a combination lecture/workshop. But you will learn how to make a variety of herbal extractions. The program, for ages 18 and up, runs from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, and the fees are $10 Florida sales tax for the lecture and a separate $10 requested donation to the Friends of Secret Woods volunteer group to cover the cost of supplies. For more information, call Secret Woods (accessible via Broward County Transit Route #6) at 954-357-8884.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Kayak)
Wanted: Kayakers to help clean up the shoreline of Deerfield Island Park, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 4. To make things interesting, pretend you're on a Kayak "Treasure" Hunt, complete with "treasure-hunting supplies" you'll retrieve when you arrive at the park's marina. Prizes will be awarded for the most unusual finds. Treasure hunters ages 18 and up are encouraged to bring a hat, gloves, and plenty of drinking water. Preregistration is required by calling Quiet Waters Park at 954-357-5100. Deerfield Island is accessible via Broward County Transit Routes #48 and #50.

Nature To Go
You can now take a little bit of Broward County nature home with you – thanks to a series of nature posters produced and sold by Broward County Parks. The six posters, all photographed in the county's parks, nature centers, and natural areas, feature American white waterlilies, burrowing owls, a gray fox, live oak trees, a prairie iris, and a queen butterfly. The posters look great either framed or unframed, and they're a distinctive way to bring a taste of nature into your home or office. They also make excellent gifts.
The offices at seven facilities have the posters available for purchase: the Anne Kolb Nature Center at West Lake Park in Hollywood, Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek, Long Key Natural Area & Nature Center in Davie, Markham Park in Sunrise, Plantation Heritage Park in Plantation, Tree Tops Park in Davie, and T.Y. Park in Hollywood.
The high-quality posters, which measure 18 inches by 24 inches, retail for $10, including Florida sales tax. You can also purchase posters by mail from Broward County Parks and Recreation, 950 N.W. 38th St., Oakland Park, FL 33309. Mail-order posters are $15 (includes Florida sales tax, shipping, and handling), with checks/money orders payable to Broward County Parks and Recreation.

Hill Country Apothecary
MF Architecture has reinvented a strip mall storefront and redefined expectations for drugstores with the Hill Country Apothecary project.
MF Architecture has reinvented a strip mall storefront and redefined expectations for drugstores with the Hill Country Apothecary project.
Retail design has the potential to go beyond just creating an interesting clean space for product presentation. This issue of Texas Architect looks at how good planning and design create effective community spaces and individual stores with a sense of place.
Highland Park Village and NorthPark Center in Dallas, and the Galleria in Houston all blazed trails as shopping centers that spurred urban development. And today they continue to be examples of successful retail design, which from their inceptions sought to create a unique sense of place.
Building code necessitated a blast wall at the Met Retail site in Austin. Studio 8 Architects took the opportunity to customize the building's aesthetic and break from typical highway architecture.
In the ever-changing world of retail design, flexibility, simplicity, curb appeal, and storage are fundamental to continued success. Keepers, Eliza Page, and Rogue Running, all local Austin retailers, were pioneers of downtown shopping — and their continued relevance is a prom¬ising sign
The Gensler-designed Patina store, a new retail concept offering floor and wall-covering products along with in-house interior design consultation in Dallas, is an ambi¬tious attempt by Acme Brick to fill a void in the marketplace while creating an entirely new shopping model.
Three projects — Rackspace Hosting (an internet company in the old Windsor Park Mall in San Antonio), the McAllen Public Library (in an old Walmart), and Montgomery Plaza (a condominium in former Mont¬gomery Ward facility in Fort Worth) — offer a cross section of some of the design concerns and sociological effects of rehabilitating abandoned shopping malls.
Roy is showing his new friend, Emily, around the city. They pause beneath a tree on Flora Street. It's August and the shade offers them a bit of relief from the sun.
Designed by Sprinkle & Co. Architects and completed in 2008, Silo's second San Antonio location occupies 8,900 square feet and two floors within a suburban retail development. The owners requested that the architects preserve but also refresh the restaurant's identity.
In the 1920s, the area of San Antonio now know n as Southtown was a thriving and culturally diverse community just south of downtown. It was in the Italian-American enclave of this district where an industrious entrepreneur built a corner building with retail at street level and living quarters above.
Park Lane is not your typical New Urbanist enclave. There is no tinge of nostalgia to the buildings, no sense of a walk down memory lane, nor the feel of a backdrop to a 1920s movie. Instead, crisp lines, angular building shapes, and modernist glass cubes are gathered along the familiar form of a street. Taken together, it is a project that manifests an interest in distinguishing urban design concepts from building style.
Montgomery Ward published its first catalogue in 1872 and soon found great success shipping farm equipment and other goods across the U.S. via rail. In the 1920s the company built nine regional facilities that combined distribution centers and retail outlets, including one in Fort Worth in 1928. The eight-story Mission Revival building, completed in nine months by general contractor Thos. S. Byrne, was expanded and renovated several times over the years. Enclosing 600,000 square feet, the U-shaped edifice teemed with fervent activity through the 1960s.
Once just another nondescript, single-story building indistinguishable from its neighbors that together comprise a light-industrial district wedged between downtown Dallas and the Trinity River, the Light & Sie Art Gallery now stands out. The reconfigured entry, framed by a box of aluminum panels, asserts a refined presence that quietly commands attention amid the clutter of storefronts along Leslie Street on the city's near-west side. The 13,000-sf project is one of the latest examples in a transformative trend for the area where a few of the shopworn buildings have been repurposed as showrooms for the design trade and retail galleries for contemporary art.
The 17,500-sf Citibank, built on an in-fill site at 5th and Rio Grande streets in downtown Austin, includes a street-level retail banking lobby, four drive-through lanes, and two upper floors for offices of commercial banking. Marmon Mok designed the $5 million project.
The newly completed Texas Rangers Retail Shop at Sundance Square in Fort Worth, designed by FIR M817, was not just intended to be a place to grab a Rangers shirt or tickets to the next game. The design of the 757-sf space was intended to let customers experience the feel of baseball through multiple sensory expressions.
Anyone who has visited Austin's eclectic strip of retail and restaurants along South Congress knows the SoCo entertainment district to be a vortex of bohemian conviviality. The city's head-long rush to grow and densify is readily apparent along the wide avenue that stretches below downtown. SoCo encompasses a few commercial blocks comprised of small buildings, none more than three stories tall. Residential neighborhoods back up to the businesses, and the homeowners are notorious for opposing the slightest change in the street frontage.
Located in downtown Austin 's fledgling 2nd Street District, the new 18-story AMLI II integrates 35,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, four and one-half levels of above-ground parking, an activity deck on the fifth level above the garage, and 231 rental apartments on 17 floors.
Located just two blocks from the State Capitol, the three-story 20 x 150-foot sliver at 811 Congress represents one of the few remaining historic buildings in downtown Austin. The structure, originally built in 1874 and used over the years to house a series of retail establishments, had been ravaged by fire and abandoned when Dennis Karbach bought the property to turn it into a residence. He hired Tim Cuppett, AIA, to help him realize the potential for the 9,000-sq. ft. shell hidden beneath an outmoded 1950s-era perforated-metal brise soleil.
The far northeastern section of metropolitan San Antonio is an amalgam of urbanizing late 19th Century farming communities and 20th Century bedroom suburbs extending in patchwork patterns of roofs, fields, and retail strip centers. For what it has in sheer volume of construction, the area generally lacks any cohesive center. Into this void has stepped the Alamo Community College District (ACCD) with a plan to create an entirely new joint-use facility—the Northeast Lakeview College. Not only is the institution to serve the educational and training needs of an estimated 15,000 students from the nine-community catchment area, but just as importantly, the facilities are to provide the surrounding areas with much-needed community resources.
As a second generation project for both owner and architect, the expansion of NorthPark Center both completes and refines the original design.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), an international financial institution offering diverse banking service to retail and corporate clients, appropriately maintains offices in downtown Houston.
The new 31-story addition to the Texas Medical Center (TMC) offers 500,000-sf of retail, ambulatory surgery, and professional office space to an area that previously lacked adequate lease space for physicians.
In August, the Texas/Oklahoma chapter of the International Interior Design Association awarded its 2007 Design Excellence Awards to five entries. The winning projects were selected in the institutional, retail, healthcare, residential, and corporate categories. In addition, eight projects received Honorable Mention awards and three projects were presented the coveted Pinnacle Award.
Redevelopment of the decommissioned Seaholm Power Plant (built 1950-1958) in Austin will transform the 7.8-acre site with a mix of office space, retail shops, condominiums, a boutique hotel, and special event space along the north shore of Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake).
Linen textured tiles, century-old wood, bamboo rugs, buttery leather, and sponge are just some of the new looks that have donned the floors at the premium floor covering tradeshow, Surfaces, sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association. WFCA, the industry's largest advocacy organization representing specialty floor covering retailers, manufacturers, distributors, and contractors, offers a top-line overview of the fashionable looks that are making their way to the floors of homes and businesses across the country this year.
The recent expansion of NorthPark Center in Dallas by Omniplan represents the second major alteration of the innovative 1964 shopping mall. Originally developed by Raymond D. Nasher in an L-shaped plan, NorthPark has been reconfigured as a closed square with double the amount of retail space.
This 82-unit, 14-story tower provides an anchor and landmark for a new mixed-use district in the southwest quadrant of downtown. A three-story, horizontal, stone volume houses the entry lobby, deep stacked porches, and a modest retail strip off a shady arcade. Parking for 164 vehicles is tucked behind and below.
The concept is to create a single powerful iconic statement for the new focus of the Penn Plaza District. The idea is to make a singular architectural statement that has multiple identities, andmultiple reads.
When prevailing breezes blow near the corner of Trenton Road and North 10th Street in this South Texas border town, they coax unexpected organ-like music from the galvanized exterior stairs that help give TrentonView Center its distinctive contemporary look. Yet even without this unusual accompaniment, created by the interaction of wind with circular holes in TrentonView's stair risers, this mixed-use rental retail and office complex on this city's fast-developing north side would command attention.

Santorum, Bush, Paul to speak at GOP convention
Posted by
CNN Political Director Mark Preston
(CNN) - Rick Santorum, who emerged as Mitt Romney's fiercest competitor for the Republican presidential nomination, will speak at the Republican National Convention, a senior GOP official tells CNN.
The former Pennsylvania senator is one of four Republicans including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, who will be announced Tuesday as primetime convention speakers. They join seven others who Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced Monday would address the convention.
Santorum will be Romney's first rival for the GOP nomination to be named as a speaker at the convention, which will be held in Tampa later this month.
Santorum, whose shoe string nomination run was fueled by conservative support, never developed a close personal or political relationship with Romney following the primary. Giving Santorum a primetime speaking role may help quell speculation about animosity that exists between the two men.
Paul is the son of retiring Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who also unsuccessfully sought the GOP nomination. The Kentucky senator is well regarded by tea party activists and will likely inherit his father's political machine that is comprised of an eclectic group of anti-government, young, libertarian minded activists. Sen. Paul is said to be looking at running for president in 2016 if Romney loses in November. It is unclear if Rep. Paul will also speak at the convention.
Bush, a popular former Florida governor, is the son of former President George H.W. Bush and brother of former President G.W. Bush. He passed on a chance to run for president, himself, and drew buzz as a possible vice presidential running mate for Romney earlier this year.
Fallin is a former congresswoman, who was elected governor in 2010.
Exact days and times for each speaker will not be released by the RNC at this time.

Another month has passed and life continues to please me immensely, though I am really rather tired at the moment from a weekend of camping and not-sleeping.
Work continues to be a great place to be. Right now I'm reading up on the different IBM big iron offerings available, just because I never did really know the difference between s/390s, as/400s, and rs/6000s, and it seemed like the kind of thing any self-respecting geek ought to know. Suffice it to say that if anyone has a 640- way s/390 that they don't need, I'll be happy to give it a new home. :) As long as I have stuff to do, work also keeps me pretty productive - my biggest problem right now is getting through things too quickly - but that's not intended as gloating, just as an observation that I must be enjoying it.
Life outside of work is even better than life at work. Our exercising has been cut into heavily by Amy's wounding of her foot, but in the meantime I've gotten plenty of reading done. For what it's worth, _Information Warfare_ by Winn Schwartau is a very interesting book, despite Schwartau himself not being one of my favourite writers.
We just picked up a new 32" TV and DVD player which pretty much rock my world. Even greater though, is that we bought them outright - no credit cards, no financing - free and clear ownership. That's a pretty amazing thing - at least to me.
Speaking of finances, I recently read _The Wealthy Barber_ and folks, if you're young, just getting started out of university, and though you're smart, you don't know a whole heck of a lot about finances, this is a book you should read. I can now talk meaningfully about amortization periods and how much insurance is enough. Much more importantly though, I now have an investment plan that will work and that, once my debts are paid off and I put it into action, will be utterly straightforward to maintain. Having a girlfriend whose brother is a chartered accountant helps, to be sure, but his biggest contribution so far has been telling me to read this book.
Geez, I'm sure I sound like every punk who thinks they're an expert after reading a -For-Dummies book. For the record, I don't think I know everything, at all - not even close, especially on this score. But a decent financial plan is also not an impossible thing to develop - it doesn't require you to watch the markets non-stop, or a calculator with 64 digit precision. Okay, enough, I'm preaching now - but seriously, good book.
Cooking continues to rock, and I make a mean 3-mushroom linguine.

Throughout his oeuvre Arthur Boyd drew great inspiration from the Australian landscape, developing much of his art in response to particular places. As well as depicting the topographical elements of his environment, Boyd created metaphorical landscapes to locate works that addressed the human condition. Painted when he was seventeen, Landscape with grazing sheep displays Boyd's awareness of the 'blue and gold' pastoral paintings of Arthur Streeton and the painterly approach of van Gogh. Paint has been applied thickly – strokes of blue, grey and white forming the sky and dabs of white and light brown conveying a sense of afternoon light across the paddock. At this early stage Boyd was experimenting with a number of styles and techniques, including the thick application of paint with a palette knife.
Landscape with grazing sheep was painted at Rosebud on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Boyd had moved to the family cottage at Rosebud in 1936 to live with his grandfather, the painter Arthur Boyd Senior. He stayed at Rosebud for around three years, painting views of the region as well as a number of portraits. The vertical orientation of Landscape with grazing sheep is more typical of a portrait painting, while the division of the composition emphasises the great presence of the Australian sky within the landscape. In this quiet and contemplative scene sheep graze on a stretch of dry, grassy land. A grey sky dominates the image and only the rounded forms of sheep and a bail of hay – signs of pastoral settlement – interrupt the horizon.

text: Albeit the republicans did not vote for it, it was crafted much from the opposition of a single-payer system the democrats wanted. Obamacare was the republicans alternative in 1994 when Hilary and Bill took a run at reform. So if you don't like it, you should point blame at the republican congress since it was their ideal. I still believe that a single-payer healthcare system is what is needed but now lets see how this one works. It is the work of conservatives who did not want to to take away from insurers and doctors.

There are limits to Ford's 'Power of Choice'
A reader wrote us a hopeful note this week, saying he had recently spotted what appeared to be a station wagon version of the 2013 Ford Fusion being driven in suburban Detroit. He wondered whether Ford would sell a wagon version of the Fusion in America.
The answer is a firm "No."
What the reader probably saw was a developmental prototype of the Mondeo, the European version of the Fusion. Under CEO Alan Mulally's One Ford global product development system, much of the development work on the Mondeo and the Fusion has taken place on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Fusion goes on sale this summer, while the Mondeo goes on sale in Europe later.
U.S. buyers will get only one Fusion body style: a four-door sedan. European customers will have a choice of three Mondeo body styles: sedan, station wagon and five-door hatchback.
Ford believes that U.S. customers who want more flexible storage space will choose one of its crossovers -- such as the Escape, Edge or Explorer -- or a smaller car, such as a Focus hatchback.
What's interesting is that Ford also sells the Kuga crossover -- the twin of the North American Escape -- in Europe.
European motorists do not share their North American counterparts' apparent prejudices against station wagons and hatchbacks. It is customary for volume carmakers to offer multiple body styles off major platforms.
Ford offers no fewer than five powertrains in the 2013 Fusion, including two EcoBoost engines, a gasoline-electric unit and plug-in hybrid. Ford believes it can trump its competitors with more "Power of Choice," at least on the powertrain front.
But for buyers who prefer a carlike driving orientation without sacrificing cargo-carrying capacity or fuel economy, a hatchback or wagon is a better option than a higher-riding, bulkier and thirstier crossover or SUV.
When it comes to body styles, Ford's Power of Choice has its limits.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|wind roper
|Ft.Myers has been my home waters for over 20 years! One of the best flats to fish is the sanibel causeway just before the toll booth as mentioned above. at first light you will find all the regular flats species over the grass. last year i ventured out just before the sun broke the horizon and was standing still trying to see nervous water, a tail, or anything that would warrent a cast when i guess i startled a pod of large tarpon that swam up to with in 5 feet of me before realizing it. they took off like a rocket with water flying all over the place and about 20 min later my heart resumed beating. those flats are great for seatrout, lady fish,jack, snook, tarpon, and redfish. if you want tarpon fish the seawall where it curves under the bridge(deep water there) as you walk to the sea wall from the flats you will see some rocks in the water by the shore line. i've pulled many red fish out of there as well as along that 100yard streatch of sea wall. clousers, decievers, and chuggers(for trout) will work well on the flats. floating line is fine but if there is any floating strands of grass you may want to switch to an intermdiate line to get just under the grass on the surface. also drive down san carlose blvd(south) the 1st bridge you will come to is Big Carlose Pass on the south ocean side end of the bridge there is a small grass flat that is pretty good and walk in to the little back cove you will see (you'll have to wade though the 10' wide opening to the cove to get to the graff flat you'll see it) that cove is shallow and you can walk from shore line to shore line in knee deep water sight casting for red's, snook, black drum......e-mail me for more indepth hot firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey Flyfreak,
Just got back from a week in Sanibel. This was a family vacation, so I had limited time on the water. If you want to do-it-yourself without a guide, stop in (or call) the Bait Box shop on Sanibel Island. Very friendly people that will set you up with maps of the island and show you where you can go on your own - they do give good advise.
There is a great flat on the South shore of the Sanibel toll booth. This flat is wind sheltered from North wind, and also is next to the deeper channels --- so you can wade out to the edge of the flat and cast into the deeper tough/channel for trout & ladyfish, etc., or wade the shallower grass flat portion for redfish. Late February on this flat should be nice for incoming reds and snook.
I also rented a motorized canoe in Tarpon Bay (part of the Ding Darling reserve). There were oyster bar islands in the middle of the bay that I caught dozens of 18-24 inch specs of a charteuse/ white clouser. The bay has great mangoves, and in a month or two, I can see the place filled with redfish and snook (the 65 degree temps when I was there was just a little too chilly).
I took a 6wt for the trout and ladyfish, and had my 8wt in case I started to see large redfish or snook (but didn't). Floating line was the stable, but there are some places there to blind cast the channels if you want (sinking/intermediate). If fishing the flats, make sure you have assorted flies to handle the flats grass and other interference.
Best of luck and tight lines,
Great stuff guys - thanks!
Maybe this will be the year I actually wet a line in Florida
|Tony Petrella
fishing southwest florida
Bring an 8wt, floating line. Clouser-style in all-gold, all-silver, chartreuse over white, tan/white, olive/white, gray/ white. Fiber-body flies in tan/white, olive/white, tan/silver.
You can wade Bunch Beach near Sanibel Causeway. Also off the north tip of Pine Island. Shuffle your feet when you wade, or the stingrays will get mad at you if you step on them.

|Water temp is key on the beaches here and snook appear right near the shore, it seems, on the last two days of March, when I'm about to leave. This has happened the last two years I've been there.They're spooky at this time and hard to catch, swimming away as soon as the fly hits the water. Red tide didn't help either. Snook took off for the deep to protect themselves and we had a good fish kill each morning. This year, so far, the red tide hasn't hit the Ft. Myers area. As for flies, white is the best color for me for snook. I like white clousers, white Puglisi peanut butter flies on #2 hook, also olive/white and tan/white, tied sparse, using EP fibers or neer hair. White schminnow, pattern on one of these sites is good, white seducer caught my first snook. There are also jacks here which give you a good tussle on a flyrod. They seem to favor chart/white clousers. Also, ladyfish love white. Mostly size #2 hooks. I use a 9 wt clear intermediate line. If you do a search on Google and type in Florida flyfishing snook, it should lead you to some good sites and fly patterns. A good site to obtain productive flies for this area seems to be www.danscustomflies.com. I never had a shot at tarpon from shore during March. From what I've heard, from May on is the time for tarpon from the shore. Hope this info is of some help to you.
Awesome guys !!!
Thanks a lot.
I'm bringing my 9 and my ten foot 7, with floaters and intermediates.
Will I need the shooting head anywhere?
Also, I want to tie up some flies ....any suggestions ?
You mentioned clousers for snook ....anything else ?
Will I have a shot at tarpon at all ?
Thanks again,
|The orvis shop in Ft. Myers is Lee Island Outfitters.

I know of two areas to explore - one is the Ding Darling reserve in Sanibel, and the other (which I've done) is Bucks key off Captiva. There is a canoe/kayak livery in Captiva- Mackenzies, who can provide you with your vessel to get to the flats. There you can pole around searching for tailing reds in the moving water, anchor and walk, whatever...or if nothing is going on for you there you can paddle over to cast toward the mangroves for whatever will hit your clouser - I got a snook on New Year's day doing that. I found sea trout, redfish, lady fish and the snook during afternoons of a family vacation.
I would recommend getting a guide for at least a half day to help you figure out how and what and where exactly you will be fishing. There are fly guides near Sanibel and right at Mackenzies in Captiva...There is also an Orvis shop on the way to the bridge from Ft Myers to Sanibel who will be more than willing to provide flies and the local leader set up. The 8 or 9 weight single hander will be the local choice, but the 7 weight Loop 11'6" was fun for the mighty heave-ho as well.
The trick to the flats is to catch the tides, which are variable.
There are other places to wade that the Orvis shop can point you to. Best luck, Foster
Ft. Meyers area advice ...
Headed to Ft. Meyers at the end of Feb.
Looking for gen. info, shops, target species, flies...
no guides, i want to explore on my own..
all wade fishing....
any info would be greatly appreciated !!

Nature in violent action can be spectacle, tragedy and object of scientific wonder all at once
John Dvorak
I remember the moment when I heard the first report. The date was February 26, 2010. I was at home listening to the tease for the late-night news on television. The news anchor, in a clear and slightly exaggerated tone, announced that a major earthquake had struck Chile. A single thought formed instantly in my head—tsunami!
To those of us who live on islands in the middle of the Pacific, the thought is never far off that a distant earthquake might generate a sea wave that races across the ocean, runs up on shore and sweeps away a community. In Hilo, Hawaii, where I live, tales are told of such a wave in 1946, generated by an earthquake in Alaska. The onslaught began as a pull-back of the sea. Within minutes, those who had gathered along the edge of the strangely emptied Hilo Bay witnessed the sea return as a wall of water. The great wave slammed into a row of buildings that outlined the edge of the bay, then plowed those buildings into the buildings on the other side of the street. Ninety-six people drowned. The area swept vacant by the wave is now a city park where kids play soccer.
The next earthquake-generated wave to hit Hilo was in 1960. A friend who was then a teenager told me that as soon as he and his pals heard that a wave was rushing toward the island, they hustled down to the edge of Hilo Bay to watch it come in. They stood on a small iron bridge close to the shoreline positioned no more than a few feet above high tide. The first wave arrived on schedule and passed under the bridge. Twenty minutes later, a second wave arrived and did the same. Disappointed, my friends and his pals left and went home. Later, a third wave arrived. This one crested fourteen feet over the bridge. Seawater surged as far as a mile inland. Sixty-one people died. Hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed.
The 1960 wave was generated by an earthquake in Chile. On the night that I heard the report of the latest Chilean quake, local news crews assembled outside the building that houses the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, located in Honolulu. A spokesman stood outside before a cluster of microphones and informed the public that a large earthquake had just occurred in Chile, similar to the one in 1960, and that a Pacific-wide tsunami was possible. Nothing more would be known, he said, for at least a few hours. By then, the anticipated wave would have passed a buoy tethered in the ocean and designed specifically to detect such waves.
With nothing more to learn, I went to bed.
I awoke at five o'clock the next morning and turned on the television. There it was—the scene I had imagined for years. The same spokesman stood in front of the warning center, reading an official statement. A wave had been generated and was spreading across the Pacific. He then read a list of the times the first wave was expected to arrive at specific places around the islands. The first wave would arrive in Hilo Bay at 11:19 A.M. I woke my family and we made plans to watch the event.
By nine o'clock we were standing on a hillside about a mile from the shoreline at a place that offered an excellent view of the bay. The weather was clear and sunny. It was Saturday, so there were no concerns about children in school. We were standing in a crowd of other families.
Among those in the crowd were many who lived near the coastline in areas that might be swamped by the approaching wave. As far as I could tell, no one had stuffed their cars or trucks with packing boxes and mattresses to move their worldly possessions to high ground. All they had transported were their vehicles and their pets. The mood of the crowd was neither festive nor somber. Everyone was simply waiting.
At ten o'clock the first sirens sounded. Thirty minutes later, I heard over a car radio that all coastal roads were closed. Police stood at barricades partway down the hillside to prevent anyone from entering the closed area. At eleven o'clock the sirens sounded a second time. That signaled that the first wave would arrive in 20 minutes.
Exactly at the predicted time, the entrance to Hilo Bay began to turn brown. Someone shouted, "It's starting!"
The brown patch grew as seawater was pulled out of the bay, the force of the water kicking up silt from the bottom. A reef of black rocks, normally visible only during extreme low tide, appeared just off a popular picnic spot known as Coconut Island. It was the clearest sign that the water level in the bay was dropping. After 10 minutes, the rocks were covered again by seawater. A few more cycles, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes, the water level changing no more than a few feet, and the event was over. The city of Hilo had been spared.
Through it all, even as I was preparing to go to bed the previous night and, later, as I stood with my family and my neighbors and watched the water recede and recover, I kept thinking about those other people, thousands of miles away, somewhere along the coast of Chile. An unknown number of souls were trapped beneath the rubble of buildings that had collapsed during the earthquake. At that moment they were wondering whether they would ever be rescued.

Muni bonds apparently aren't waiting for the fiscal cliff and expected 2013 tax hikes before they start selling off. They've been doing a good job of posting losses over the past couple of weeks, a trend that carried over Monday when the iShares S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (MUB) lost 0.81% in heavy trading volume, closing at $110.15. The largest municipal ETF is now down from a peak of $114.07 at the end of November and is trading at a discount to net asset value for the first time since July, as Bloomberg's Michelle Kaske reports today:
The price drop in the fund, which has $3.5 billion of assets, reflects an increase in state and local borrowing that overwhelmed demand in the $3.7 trillion municipal-bond market, pushing up interest rates.
Yields on an index of 10-year benchmark municipals rose 0.22 percentage point to 1.6 percent last week, the highest since Nov. 7, according to Bloomberg data. Issuers from California to New York in the past two weeks issued about $20 billion of long-term debt, the busiest period since June, Bloomberg data show.
Munis face a serious challenge to their tax-exempt status in the form of the fiscal cliff talks in Washington. John Flahive, head of fixed income investments at BNY Mellon Wealth Management, says some investors are selling ahead of possible changes to tax treatment of muni interest and capital gains.

Root on a ASUS Transformer
It seems that ASUS has yet to release a bootloader unlocking tool for the Transformer (tf101), though pleasantly they've released one for the Transformer Prime (tf201). The lack of an official tool for the tf101 means that users have to go through backflips to get there, which is rather annoying.
After several failed attempts, the method that worked for me (with a tf101, B4O serial, build 184.108.40.206) was to use the Debugfs method. I use linux so I just read through the
RootDebugfs.batand executed the commands manually. And, this is just the first (17) steps of a longer process to actually be able to load software on the device, something we take for granted on any normal computer.
All of this was so that I can use a more open firmware, Cyanogenmod for now. I've found that manufacturers tend to abandon their devices after a while or at least slow the rate of updates, which is reasonable given that such support is a fairly substantial ongoing cost for no revenue. However, when they stop they really should provide better tools to allow users to manage their devices from then on (ideally from the beginning) with the support of the community which has proven it will actively continue to develop software for the older devices.
An issue, even when using the "official" unlock tool, is that ASUS is claiming that unlocking the bootloader will void the owner's warranty. This is becoming unfortunately common, where hardware manufacturers will wash their hands of their responsibilities based on the user's software choices. It wouldn't stand in the server or desktop computer realm; installing Linux on a Dell won't mean that they can avoid their obligations to fix their own defects. Somehow when it comes to tablets, manufacturers seem to feel justified in doing so.
This is to say that from now on, I'll have to consider more carefully the openness of a piece of hardware before purchasing it. ASUS used to be much better about this with great tools for their motherboards and good support for free software on their eee pcs (my 701 is still going strong). That had lulled me into complacency to believe it would be the same when it came to their tablets, but unfortunately that's not the case.

I'm Leslie, from Utopia (The Pacific Northwest)
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find those that have wallpaper books they keep intact and use as scrapbooks? I have all sorts and I don't want to waste them doing a bad job. They are huge and I dont know where to start. My goodness but they can be classy. Some come from posh businesses that would never carry anything but the very best so they are intimidating.
And warmest regards to all!

I agree that we live in Utopia (except, maybe, when the sun hasn't come out in weeks...)
I don't quite follow what you're asking, so maybe you could explain a little more thoroughly? Do you have an old bound wallpaper sample book, and you want to use the pages as backgrounds for scrapbook layouts? Using digital pages would help keep the bulk down, by only adding one layer of paper.

Are you talking about turning your bound wallpaper sample book into a scrapbook? If so, you might find some helpful tips on the Scrap Girls blog, here are some that are specific to Art Journaling: http://scrapgirls.co...ls/art-journal/
I am not sure how big and thick those sample books are and how easy it would be to use them as scrapbooks. If you can bring yourself to cut the papers out of the books, you could definitely use the pages in Hybrid Scrapbooking projects (lots of great tutorials on the SG Blog) and you could use them to make cards, embellishments, etc.

Welcome to ScrapGirls!
I'm also unfamiliar with using a bound wallpaper sample book as a scrapbook, so I did a search and found some food for thought. While wallpaper is beautiful, it's not made acid free - like all commercial scrapbook paper - so from a preservation perspective, don't use original photos on it. Also, from an archival perspective, it becomes brittle and yellowed over time, which may render all your hard work a problem for future generations. There was also speculation on whether the samples have adhesive on back, since some wallpaper comes with it and some without - being samples, that was a big question.
One cool idea I saw that didn't so much involve using the bound book as a scrapbook but someone was using the samples to create journal/book covers - presumably with all kinds of fun embellishments.
Many others have mentioned the ScrapGirls blog, I highly recommend checking it out for inspiration for your projects!
Best of luck on your projects!
