Moment of crisis: Copenhagen talks are failing but rich country leaders can fix it
This is a moment of crisis. World leaders are jetting in to Copenhagen for the last couple of days of the talks but the talks are on verge of massive failure. Rich countries aren't stepping up to the plate and offering the climate financing and the other vital measures that are central to any fair and binding deal.
However, the talks aren't over yet and they can still be successful if leaders show the necessary political will. You can be part of a massive global push by phoning world leaders and telling them to sort the emergency and to stop blocking the deal.
What you can do?
Below is a list of the governments that are blocking the deal - and how they are doing this. We've also got contact details for governments all over the word. We need you to phone the most appropriate country and ask them to stop blocking the deal. Please either choose your own government or the government that you think is doing the most to block the deal.
Use the above text for some ideas about what you can say. There's more information about how countries are blocking the talks below.
Here is a tool that will give you the number of the government that you want to phone. See below for more on who is creating the crisis.
Who is creating the crisis?
United States – Hillary Clinton announced today the US support for long term international financing, which is a welcome move. However the US needs to be clear on two absolutely crucial points: first that this funding comes from public sources in developed countries, and second that it is also additional to current aid commitments (both existing and promised). Private financing is no substitute for public investment in the resilience of the poorest and most vulnerable communities, and should not taken from money that is desperately needed for hospitals, schools and other vital development issues in poor countries.. [ed. updated text 17 Dec 2009]
Austria, Sweden, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Canada – These countries are trying to create a loophole in accounting for forest emissions that would dramatically reduce their apparent (but not their real) emissions.
European Union – Have not been doing enough on climate financing. They
need to make a concrete offer on how much they will commit on a long term
basis to help developing countries adapt to climate change and develop in
low carbon way. This should involve their fair share of the $200bn global
total needed each year from 2020 onwards. And similar to the United States, they need to be clear that this should all be governement funded money and additional to existing and promised aid money. [ed. updated text 17 Dec 2009]
Canada – They have also consistently been blocking progress in the negotiations and have misled the public over their oil and gas emissions.
This is our last chance to push for a deal. Once you've called, please leave a comment below letting the world know that you've done it.
Climate change protesters,
Hear ye! When your star that you call the 'Sun' goes supernova, climate change will be abrupt and complete and nobody will be left to complain about climate change. Your orb, which you call earth, will float through space as a charred cinder and all your climate change efforts will be for naught...lol. Hehehehe!!!
Pretty picture, eh!
We need a fair, ambitious, binding deal - now. Leaders, listen!
Canadians don't support our "official" reps. We support a fair, ambitious, binding deal - now. World leaders, listen!
Stephen Harper's mailbox is full.
I just tried calling Stephen Harper, but his voicemail is full. Let's hope that he actually checks in and listens to the millions of Canadians calling in wake him up.
Phone call made
I just left a message for Gordon Brown. Ranted a bit but hopefully he got the point.

Thanks for everyone's support! We're still pushing hard for a fair, ambitious and binding climate deal in these final hours...!

Holy hell, it's been a long time since I've been in this neck of the woods!
So, I've been lifting heavy stuff for a bit now, but one lift I'm constantly having troubles with right now is the low bar squat position. My shoulders are super tight, and in order to get the bar into the correct position I have to put my shoulders into a compromised position that also tends to make my chest collapse.
I want to do box squats though, so I began to toy with the idea of doing high bar box squats. Now, the bar isn't really as high as it normally would be on an olympic squat, but it's still just above my scapular spine. I guess you could say it's sitting across the middle of my traps.
Anyone have any experience doing these? I figured I could stick with these until I get flexible enough for the low bar position.
I always squat with the bar there. I have to put it there when I have a suit with straps up, so I just do it all the time.
Become a fan of Wild Iron on Facebook:
Louie Simmons and his Westside Barbell are what popularized box squats. They all carry the bar high on their backs. Put the bar where it is comfortable and SQUAT.

I carry the bar really high. Because of a car accident that changed the curve of my spine I can't hold it low, but I have no problem box squatting like this.

Wealth (net worth) is distributed much more unequally than any other dimension of socio-economic well-being. I document this inequality as it differs across time and countries:
- Pfeffer, Fabian T., Sheldon Danziger, and Robert F. Schoeni. Forthcoming. "Wealth Disparities Before and After the Great Recession". Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 650(1): 98-123 (link)
- International comparisons of wealth inequality & mobility (in progress)
This stark inequality in wealth can be shown to be tied to inequalities in attainment opportunities for the next generation. I attempt to uncover the causal mechanisms behind these intergenerational wealth effects through both cross-national and within-country analyses. In particular, I seek empirical evidence for what I call the "insurance function" of wealth:
- Wealth and Mobility Regimes. The United States, Germany, and Sweden in Comparison (working paper)
- Pfeffer, Fabian T. 2011. "Status Attainment and Wealth in the United States and Germany". Pp. 109-137 in Smeeding, Timothy, Robert Erikson, and Markus Jäntti (eds.). Persistence, Privilege, and Parenting. The Comparative Study of Intergenerational Mobility. New York: Russell Sage Foundation (link)
- Are Wealth Gaps in Education Growing? (working paper available upon request)
Wealth may also provide an important safety net for intragenerational mobility by buffering adverse shocks to economic well-being. An ongoing project investigates whether wealth attenuates the income scarring effects of unemployment and does so differently across institutional contexts.

For the second time this month, smash-and-grab thieves wreaked havoc on the westside's Huff Road.
According to the Atlanta police, both Interiors by Consignment and Urban pL8 at 1082 Huff Road had their storefronts smashed early Wednesday shortly after 1 a.m. Atlanta Police Officer John Chafee said the front door of Urban pL8 in suite C was busted with a large rock and the cash register was taken.
Next door in suite D, the front door of Interiors by Consignment was also busted, but it is undetermined if anything was taken.
According to Chafee, an off-duty officer who lives in the area told responding officers that he heard glass breaking and later saw three males run from one of the businesses and speed off in a black Jeep Cherokee. The vehicle was later spotted by a police unit that eventually lost sight of it.
The vehicle, a 1999 Jeep Cherokee with GA tag 292LAE, has been reported stolen. No arrests have been made at this time.
On its Facebook Page, Urban pL8 posted a surveillance video of the crime. The restaurant was hosted a post-burglary "Survivors not Victims" dinner special on Wednesday night.
Another Huff Road business just down the road was a victim of a smash and grab a little more than a week ago. That's when the surveillance camera inside Corner Tavern caught a car repeatedly trying to smash through the glass storefront in an attempt to steal their ATM machine from the business.
In mid-January, thieves plowed a stolen vehicle through Midtown's Mac's Beer and Wine's doors and raided the business of high-end liquors and champagnes before making a getaway in a second stolen vehicle.

Snow Links Prez to Osama bin Laden
by ImaJoeBob, Sun Sep 17, 2006 at 06:35:53 PM EDT
[Apologies for "bending" any rules, but I posted this at Kos, and got 20+ hits in 5 minutes. Then the database went down. When it came back up i was more than 75 stories down the list, and it was dead, so I'm trying it here. I think I make an important point (not that I don't always...). Thanks for understanding.]
In his September 12, 2006 press briefing, Tony Snow, Press Secretary to President George W. Bush explained that while there is not an explicitly direct operational relationship between President Bush and the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, there are "links."
He did not expressly say this was true, but using his inductive logic proves that there is undisputable evidence: Bush is hand-in-hand ("there was a relationship") with the terrorists.
While I have made some [minor edits] to the text for clarity, what Mr. Snow says makes it obvious that this is what he means us to believe.
Q Well, one more, Tony, just one more. Do you believe -- does the President still believe that Saddam Hussein[this administration] was connected to Zarqawi or al Qaeda before the invasion?
MR. SNOW: The President has never said that there was a direct, operational relationship between the two, and this is important. Zarqawi[Al Qaeda] was in Iraq[the United States].
Q There was a link --
MR. SNOW: Well, and there was a relationship -- there was a relationship in this sense: Zarqawi[Mohammed Atta] was in Iraq [the United States]; al Qaeda members were in Iraq[the United States]; they were operating, and in some cases, operating freely from Iraq[the United States]. Zarqawi[Atta], for instance, directed the assassination of an American diplomat in Amman, Jordan[traveled to Afghanistan to meet with Osama bin Laden and train for terrorist attacks]. But did they have a corner office at the Mukhabarat[West Wing]? No. Were they getting a line item in Saddam's[the President's] budget? No. There was no direct operational relationship, but there was a relationship. They were in the country, and I think you understand that the Iraqis[Bush administration] knew they were there. That's the relationship.
Q Saddam Hussein[George W. Bush] knew they were there; that's it for the relationship?
MR. SNOW: That's pretty much it.
Q The Senate[NSA] report said they didn't turn a blind eye.
MR. SNOW: The Senate[NSA] report -- rather than get -- you know what, I don't want to get into the vagaries of the Senate[NSA] report, but it is pretty clear, among other things, again, that there were al Qaeda operators inside Iraq[The US], and they included Zarqawi[the hijackers], they included a cleric[Atta who]had been described as the best friend of[met with] bin Laden who was delivering sermons on TV. But we are simply not going to go to the point that the President is -- the President has never made the statement that there was an operational relationship, and that's the important thing, because I think there's a tendency to say, aha, he said that they were in cahoots and they were planning and doing stuff; there's no evidence of that.
So, there you have it. Tony Snow has shown us the link between George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden. You can see the full text of the entire briefing here. You will see that, except where necessary for clarification, not one bit of Snow's argument or reasoning has been altered. It's time for the appeasers who are supporting this "best friend of the terrorists" to call for George W. Bush's detention as an Enemy Combatant.

Trailridge Elementary School PTA has been busy over the summer, according to PTA officials. This year, the school celebrates 20 years in education, and PTA members "went BIG to celebrate."
"The focus at Trailridge has always been and will continue to be maximizing student achievement in a nurturing environment," said Michelle Chick, PTA president at Trailridge. "To that end, beautification efforts inside our building have not been a focus, and PTA wanted to change that."
With reading being a critical skill set, it is important that it be fun and engaging for children. To foster this, PTA members worked together to add a special area in the library just for kids to relax and read a book. PTA purchased two full-size chaise lounges, three fun ottomans and a colorful 8-foot-by-10-foot area rug that compliments the freshly painted room to create the perfect reading space.
"We believe the entire Trailridge staff is the backbone to student success,"
Chick added. "Without them, we, as parents, would be lost. They need a space to unwind, regroup and rejuvenate. The lounge area had not been touched in 20 years and an 'Extreme Makeover' was needed. Just like the TV show, we did this by partnering with local businesses within our community. And all those partners stepped up…in a huge way."
The PTA team worked throughout the 2012-13 school year to secure donations for a staff lounge makeover.
"We were amazed with the response we received," Chick said. "In no particular order, the following businesses played a key role making things happen by way of donations and/or support: Crowley Furniture, Home Depot,
Lowe's, Certa Pro Painters, Shamrock Cabinets, Summit Custom Homes, Del's Appliances Heating and Cooling, Habitat for Humanity Kansas City Restore, Mo-Kan Carpet, Lee's Summit R-7 School District, Office Depot and Bledsoe Rentals."
Parents from the school also made significant contributions.
"And from our Trailridge families – labors of love - with a hand-crafted buffet table and accessories, tear out of the old lounge, stained and lacquered cabinets, installation of mosaic backsplash, help with painting, and coordinating of resources, just to name a few,"
Chick added, "The Lee's Summit School District and our custodial team offered amazing support. When we were met with a challenge, they stepped up by lending a hand."
In all, more than 50 individuals contributed to the projects.
"The difference between the before and after is astounding"
Chick said. "We are thrilled with the results."

On December 17, 1953, Fred "Teddy" Hall was born to Clara Belle Deere and Willie J. Hall in Washington, D.C. At a young age, Clara Belle and Teddy moved back home to Wagoner, Oklahoma to be closer to Ms. Alberty and Lorraine Deere, Teddy's Great-Grandmother and Grandmother. Teddy spent his elementary years living between Wagoner and Kansas City, MO with his very dear Aunt Margarette Grey. He moved back to Wagoner permanently in the sixth grade where he was the first to integrate Wagoner Public School. He was a varsity basketball player and was known for his positive, upbeat personality and witty sense of humor. He graduated from Wagoner High School in 1972 and returned to Washington D.C. to participate in an internship for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He worked in the department of Personal Identification and became a fingerprint expert. After a few years, he returned to Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma for a short time where he pledged Alpha Phi Alpha and remained dedicated to his fraternity. He eventually completed his nursing degree at Tulsa Community College, and practiced his profession in Washington state, Texas, and Oklahoma. He became certified as a Psychiatric RN. He met Rosemary "Rose" Kotas at Western State Hospital in Tacoma, WA, where they worked together for several years. They became best friends and united in marriage in Eureka Springs, AR in 2006. He was very involved in his community and most recently was elected as a Democratic delegate and accepted an appointment as Affirmative Action Delegate for Wagoner County.
He leaves to honor his memory, his wife Rose, his mother Clara Belle Deere, six children – LaVon (Kenny) King; Christie Wilkins; Yves Saint Damien Hall (Whitney); Alicia Belle Hall; Belle Lorraine Hall (all of Wagoner); and Camille Hall of Houston, TX – Five Grandchildren: Nia Yarbrough, Kerwin Thomas, Kori Thomas, Gabriella Hall and Isiah Hall, one on the way – and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends. Also Georgianna "Boots" Robinson of Wagoner, OK, a very special aunt, and Mary "Mickey" Warlond of Nashville, TN who was more like a sister than a cousin. Also cousin Carlotta "Pookey" Smith of Fayetteville, NC.
Funeral service for Freddie Hall will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Destiny Family Church in Wagoner Oklahoma, with Pastor James Overton officiating. Burial will follow in Elmwood Cemetery in Wagoner, Oklahoma. If you would like to leave a condolence with the family please visit Freddie's Ultimate Tribute at www.shipmanfuneralhome.com

Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) manufacturer, ICON Aircraft, has announced two major design enhancements aimed at to simplifying aircraft complexity and increase safety in its A5 amphibious, two-seat, composite carbon fiber plane. The first improvement for the plane,which is edging closer to production, is the elimination of wing flaps, which will simplify pilot operations, while the second is a spin-resistant design that will include, amongst other things, the addition of wing cuffs to lower the stall speed of the aircraft. Read More
ICON Aircraft has passed a key hurdle in the development of its innovative, amphibious sport plane design by successfully completing its maiden test flight. The full-scale prototype of the composite carbon fiber, two-seater A5 took to the skies at an undisclosed lake location in California on July 9, demonstrating the aircraft's performance and flying characteristics during take-off, landing, and low-speed maneuvering flight as well as it on-water capabilities. The versatile A5, which has a folding wing design for easy transport and storage as well as retractable landing gear for flying off land and water, is set to undergo a series of test flights throughout the next year with a view to putting the finishing touches on the design and building a pre-production model for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and ASTM compliance. Production is expected to commence in late 2010. Read More
ICON Aircraft unveils fold-up amphibious sports plane
A recurring theme at Gizmag in recent times has been the growing accessibility of the recreational sports aircraft, with manufacturers offering increasingly versatile and user-friendly designs combined with falling price points. Like the Cessna SkyCatcher, the ICON A5, which was officially unveiled last week in Los Angeles, is a case in point. Powered by a 100hp Rotax 912 ULS engine achieving an estimated maximum speed of 105 kts (120 mph) and a range of 300 nm, the amphibious, two-seat, composite carbon fiber plane features a sportscar inspired cockpit and retractable landing gear for flying off land and water, but the standout element is the folding wing design which allows the plane to be towed on the road like a speed boat and stored at home rather than paying for space at an airport.

running script
a semicursive Chinese script that developed out of the Han dynasty lishu script at the same time that the standard kaishu script was evolving (1st-3rd century AD). The characters of xingshu are not abbreviated or connected, but strokes within the characters are often run together. The best-known example of early surviving Chinese calligraphy, Lanting Xu ("Essay on the Orchid Pavilion"), written in 353 by Wang Xizhi but surviving only in several fine tracing copies and other forms of duplication such as rubbings, is written in this script

I understand that if you're reading this, chances are good you already have a fishing license.
But if you don't and you're interested in fishing, Saturday is your day to go.
It's Idaho Fish and Game's annual Free Fishing Day, which means you don't need a license, and at many events, F&G and other sponsors will loan tackle and expertise to help you. For a full list of events hosted by F&G, go to fishandgame.idaho.gov.
If you're among the thousands of Idahoans who already know how to fish, use Free Fishing Day as a chance to branch out.
Hit one of those places that's been on your to-do list for years, or maybe a place you haven't considered.
I give you lots of places every week in the fishing report, and you will see some of those below. But I thought it would be fun to expand a little this week and give you some other places to check out.
Even if it's not free in a financial sense because you still have fuel and food costs, think of it as free in a sense that you have to the liberty to fish wherever you want, so head out Saturday and try something new.
Here are some places to consider:
I fished here for the first time last month and was surprised by a couple of things.
First, how clear the lake was and how pretty Lake Walcott State Park is.
The second: none of my fishing buddies had ever fished there.
It's about 3 hours to get there, but nearly all of it is freeway driving. I went because I heard there were big bass and also trophy-sized trout.
I can vouch for the bass, but they didn't come easy. Take into account it was my first trip there, and I was fly fishing.
I didn't catch any trout, but there were plenty of boats trolling for them in front of the dam.
I was pleasantly surprised how nice the camping was at the state park. It's a cool place to spend a weekend, and if you put in some effort or get a little lucky, you could get some nice bass and/or trout.
OK, this is kind of a gimme. Like free fishing isn't enough? How about free use of rods, tackle and bait, and probably some free advice to go with them?
You can get all those from 8 a.m. to noon at McDevitt Pond in Meridian because Idaho Fish and Game's Free Fishing Trailer will be there.
The brightly painted trailer goes around to local ponds and loans fishing gear.
It's usually an extra party for Free Fishing Day, and this spot is where the trailer lands Saturday.
It's also centrally located at the corners of Eagle and McMillan Roads in Meridian, so it's easily accessible for nearly anyone in the Treasure Valley.
You and a few hundred of your closest fishing buddies, not to mention a fair number of folks from Nez Perce Tribe, make this an annual gathering to meet the returning chinook salmon.
The river was running high in late May and early June, which typically stalls the salmon in the lower canyon downstream of Whitebird.
As the river recedes after peak spring runoff, the fish resume their upstream migration and start streaming in waves through Whitebird, Riggins and the Little Salmon River.
The timing of the chinook run and Free Fishing Day is too perfect not to include the Little Salmon.
Seriously, though, expect a zoo, and make sure you pay attention to the special rules if you access the river from private lands. The rules are marked on signs, and there also are flyers available that explain what you can and can't do.
For whatever reason, the bass seem to be running larger than usual in the Snake River this year, and I've also seen numerous largemouth caught.
That's surprising and it's not. Surprising because it's unexpected, but what I've learned from the Snake is you never know what to expect.
I came to that conclusion when I saw a mayfly hatch near Marsing that would rival any on the Henrys Fork, and catfish gorging themselves like whale sharks.
This river has a rhythm all its own, and there are different reaches with their own character.
But it rarely fishes better than it does in the spring. The Snake rewards those who take the time to learn its secrets. My advice is to pick a few miles of water and figure out how to consistently catch fish there, then take what you've learned to other sections. You won't be disappointed.
The old South Fork below Anderson Ranch Dam was awash in mud last fall, and we've been waiting to see the new South Fork emerge.
However, low flows in winter and spring meant the river has looked similar to right after the slides happened last fall.
But higher flows have arrived, and the river will be reshaping its channel.
Many anglers mourned the loss of the previous version, which is understandable because it was a reliable and predictable trout stream.
But now we get to see the river renewed, and it will be interesting to watch what evolves.
Never heard of it? Not surprising. This pond is at the north end of Payette Lake at McCall and was built in the fall of 2012.
Anglers got their first chance to fish it last year, and Idaho Fish and Game will host an event there Saturday.
It's stocked with rainbow trout, and there's a newly built pier where you can relax and drop a line.
This pond is pretty small - about fl of an acre - and it's in the Northwest Passage Campground in Ponderosa State Park.
It is located 8 miles up Warren Wagon Road. Take a right on Eastlake Road, then right into the campground and follow the signs.
The park will waive entry fee for people in this area for Free Fishing Day. Fish and Game and Parks and Rec staff will be there with fishing poles and bait from 9 a.m. until noon, and there also will be free hot dogs and drinks for anglers.
I stumbled onto this scene by accident years ago, and it's been a fond memory ever since. Silver Creek near Picabo is world famous for its spring creek fishing for rainbows and browns. It has consistent insect hatches, and the creek is teeming with trout, many of which are easily visible.
But there's a catch to catching them. These fish get pestered a lot and grow wise and wary, so catching them requires finesse.
Gavers Lagoon is adjacent to the Hayspur Hatchery off U.S. 20. It's a campground with a heavily stocked pond that attracts lots of kids and families on Free Fishing Day (or at any other time, for that matter).
It's not exactly opposite of Silver Creek, but let's say it attracts a different crowd. The juxtaposition between serious fly anglers pursuing trout in a world-class stream and squealing kids chucking worms and bobbers for them is both entertaining and heartwarming. Maybe you have to see it to understand, and maybe you should.
This area is full of trout because of the bounty of springs that create perfect temperatures for them. This is one of the top trout-producing areas in the world because of many private and public hatcheries that take advantage of that cool spring water.
There are lots of places to fish in the area, including the Hagerman Wildlife Management area, Billingsley Creek, Malad River, Snake River, and several lakes and ponds in the vicinity.
It's kind of a grab bag of fishing, and it's all fun. Kids and families love the Riley Ponds on the WMA because they're well stocked, easily accessible, and you can watch the raceways filled with hatchery fish.
Or you can explore around and find other cool fishing spots. My friends caught tilapia out of the Snake River near Hagerman. They don't belong there, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun catching them.
This is a frequently overlooked trout fishery. It has a reputation of being mostly put-and-take rainbows, but downstream from Stanley you can find good cutthroat fishing in a canyon with lots of elbow room.
I'm not providing a lot more details, but let's say good sources have told me there's unexpectedly good fishing there this time of year, both by wading and floating.
Pick your river section carefully if you're floating because there are many rapids, and they aren't all visible from the road.
As a bonus, even when campgrounds are swamped around Stanley, you can usually find a spot to camp along the river.
I heard rumors about this reservoir east of Cambridge for years before actually fishing there. It's a trophy bass lake in the middle of trout country. It's not quite in the mountains, but it's close enough you may not expect largemouths there.
But I was impressed by the bass fishing, and while I haven't fished it in years, F&G biologist Dale Allen said the bass are doing fine and the reservoir has plenty of water this year, so give it a try.
You can launch your boat on the west side, but other facilities are limited and there's lots of private land around the lake, so access is easiest by boat.
It's big enough for your typical motorized fishing boats, but small enough for float tubes, kayaks and other human-powered boats.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — We hope that we can count Norman area state House members among the legislative supporters of the bill to complete the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum.
The state Senate has already approved a bill to draw down $40 million from the state's unclaimed property fund to complete the 173,000-square-foot museum sitting unfinished along the North Canadian River at the crossroads of Interstate 35 and I-40 in Oklahoma City.
Construction on the long-promised center stopped in summer 2012 when the project ran out of money. If the state's money comes through, proponents expect the building to be complete and open to the public by 2017.
That $40 million state money would be mixed with $40 million in private and public pledges. The state, tribes and other contributors have spent about $91 million to date and is now spending $68,000 a month just to keep the pigeons out and the site secure.
Lawmakers have been reluctant for the state to take on any more debt. Taking money from the unclaimed property fund is not the best solution, but it appears to be one that many House members can swallow.
As it is, the vacant, enormous shell of a building is an embarrassment to Oklahoma and a major-league slight to the 39 recognized tribes that call the state home.

Stories Don't End
"When you talk about me/Do you stick to the memories?" singer-guitarist-songwriter Taylor Goldsmith asks in "Just Beneath the Surface," a song about hidden identity that starts his band's third album. It is also a perfect question to ask about the music on this quietly gripping, deceptively gleaming record. Dawes are natural experts at vintage allure: the precise twang and breezy introspection of Seventies California rock. You don't need a long memory to hear the lightly scuffed, upper-register pathos of Jackson Browne (an early Dawes fan) in Goldsmith's clean, pleading voice. The similarity is natural and astonishing.
But as Goldsmith notes in that opening song, "Just beneath the surface/There's another one of me." And that guy is everywhere under this glaze: apart, frustrated, desperately certain in his passion. Goldsmith traces the delusion of escape in Los Angeles' topography ("From a Window Seat [Rivers and Freeways]"); captures the futility of offering your life to someone always looking the other way ("Someone Will"); and admits, in the title song, that he'll never be as articulate as his heart demands ("If I tried to show every side of you . . . I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend"). The great Browne and Anglo-L.A. Fleetwood Mac albums also masked profound turmoil and broken paradise. Dawes treat these wounds with the same trusted medicine: warming vocal rain and a rich weave of guitars and keyboards. It still works.

Indiana State Police-Putnamville
News Release
---- —
A routine Indiana State Police inspection of a food delivery truck this morning in Clay County led to the destruction of part of the food, which was transported in unsafe conditions, and a citation for the driver.
At 10:45 a.m., ISP Master Trooper Kent Winstead stopped a white Mitsubishi refrigerated food delivery truck for a routine inspection in the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 near the 23-mile marker.
Winstead is a commercial vehicle enforcement officer.
During inspection of the cargo area, Winstead found that about 40 dozen eggs had tumbled onto the floor, broke open and deposited a large amount of liquid egg yolk.
Lying in the yolk were about five pounds of mushrooms and 10 pounds of broccoli, which also had fallen and separated from their box containers.
The five pounds of mushrooms and 10 pounds of broccoli were seized by Clay County Health Department investigator Jane Stark and destroyed. The remainder of the meat and vegetable load was not in violation and not seized.
The driver, Dong Xie, age 40, of Fontana, Calif., was cited for a class A infraction of transporting food not in compliance with health department rules.
The delivery company was Eternal Trading Corp. of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the food was bound for Asian-style food restaurants in Terre Haute.

It is October and we are officially one month into a new school year. One month of new experiences. One month of new schedules. One month of changes. One month of data to assess. One month of bus rides and breath holding. One month down and my son Brady is beginning to thrive.
As a parent of a child navigating our way through the special education system, each year brings new worries, new fights and new challenges. After a rough first year of early childhood special education (ECSE) last year, our expectations for this school year were a little low. Unfairly low. Uncharacteristically low for a fighter like our Brady. But difficult experiences and a summer of struggles, left my husband and I questioning the type of program Brady should be placed in and what his abilities would be inside a classroom. So, in late August, we made a deal with ourselves, that if Brady was struggling and if Brady wasn't improving, we would make a change. If Brady wasn't the Brady we know and love and if he wasn't allowed to be himself, then we would make a very difficult decision and find a new program for Brady. But, first, we would give ECSE another shot. And I am so glad we did.
Brady has found a remarkable teacher. A teacher who believes in my son. A teacher who really tries to understand my son, his special needs, all the little quirks that come with having an extra piece of 1st chromosome and each and every challenge he faces in his day to day life due to the disabilities that have surfaced due to the genetic abnormality. She is allowing Brady to be Brady and she has embraced him for it. The entire team, including aides, therapists, a social worker and speech therapist, assembled to be a part of my son's educational needs have been as open and understanding as his teacher. It is a positive environment. A place that celebrates each little step forward Brady makes. There is no focus on what Brady cannot do. I no longer believe Brady cannot do things, I just believe there are things he cannot do yet. His teacher makes me believe this. His teacher does believe this.
We receive daily updates on Brady's progress toward his goals. We can see the steps forward. Some days they are baby steps. Many days they are little steps. On a few days, they are giant leaps. But always, we are aware. We are so grateful for the communication. My husband and I are realistic parents. We believe in goal setting that is achievable. We believe that progress will come with patience and compassion. We are seeing it all come together and our son's smiles at the end of each day, tell us that his days are filled with encouragement, love and a true belief in him.
It is only a month. I know much can change over the course of an entire school year. I know there are always unexpected twists and unexplainable turns that occur in the life of a child with special needs and their journey through special education. I also know that a strong and compassionate teacher, who sees each child as an individual, can make such a difference in a child's life. I know this, because I have already seen it happening in one short month. I know this, because I have seen it year after year with my own typically developing eight year old daughter and the remarkable teachers she has had. I know this because what my son is experiencing in his classroom is spilling over into our daily lives and our entire family can see it.
In the last month, Brady is more alert. He looks at us when we walk in a room and say his name. He tries so hard to really look us in the eyes, when we greet him in the morning. He is trying to find ways to communicate with all of us. He is jointly attending in his private speech therapy sessions. He is making progress. Many things have been working together in the last month. Brady has started a stimulant medication called Focalin. He has been on it for just over a month. Its goal is to help Brady focus, concentrate and slow down. Brady has been pretty healthy. He made it through late summer allergies and the change in temperatures, without an ear infection or even a bad cold. This has not been the norm for my little guy. His Type 1 diabetes is still a beast of a disease, but there have been more good days than bad lately. It could be the medication. It could be his health. It could be that he is developmentally ready to finally move forward. It could be so many things just coming together at the same time, but I know that a caring teacher, with a strong support team and realistic and achievable goals, makes us forget about why things are working and makes us just focus on what is working.
Brady is through one month of his second year of ECSE. He has climbed those big bus steps on his own. He smiles when he sees his bus peek through the tress when it turns onto our street. He never protests going to school, in fact he rushes out the door when I say, "time for school." He is always smiling when I pick him up from his class and he even looks when his teacher calls out his name to wave good bye to my little boy. Brady is loving school. As parents, my husband and I are loving the progress, the open communication and the knowledge that someone believes in our son as much as we do. It is only one month, but so far, it is so good.

Patron Silver Tequila
Fresh Lemon Juice

What makes it special?
This nectar is a balm to the tequila lover whose taste buds have been too long abused by cloying lime-flavored goop. It's a bright, crisp, and refreshing cocktail in which the supporting players frame the pop-star tequila's fruity and slightly floral qualities. It's also an excellent example of how the devil lives in the details: The glass is rimmed with a mix of honey and sugar that paves the way for Patron's own nascent honey flavors and acts as a perfect catalyst for the components to achieve a harmony that is both soothing and perky. Technically speaking, it's pretty damn yummy.

State Sen. Jason Carter, grandson of former president Jimmy Carter, has endorsed Brookhaven mayoral candidate Sandy Murray.
Murray's campaign announced the endorsement and several others on Monday morning. Murray faces J. Max Davis to become Brookhaven's first-ever mayor in tomorrow's runoff.
Carter, a Democrat, represents portions of Decatur and DeKalb County in the state Senate.
Murray also announced the endorsement of former Brookhaven mayoral candidate Larry Danese. The day after the Nov. 6 election, Murray was endorsed by Brookhaven's first elected official in history, District 2 city councilman Jim Eyre.
While Brookhaven's elections are non-partisan, Murray's campaign identified both Danese and Eyre as Republicans.
The campaign said that former Democratic state Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond has also endorsed Murray.

February 19, 2014
Despite almost being hit by a motorist who lost control of his vehicle, Thomas L. Colston was willing to stop and help as an accident unfolded into a fiery situation. For his selfless actions, the Truckload Carriers Association has named him a Highway Angel.A professional truck driver for more than 18 years, Colston is a resident of Burleson, Texas, and drives for Frito-Lay, Inc., of Dallas, Texas. On Nov. 22, 2013, he had just dropped off a load and was headed eastbound on I-20 toward Dallas. It was about 10:20 p.m., and the roads were a little slick.Suddenly, in the rearview mirror, he saw a pickup truck coming toward him, out of control. Colston's defensive driving skills kicked in, and he managed to steer out of the way. The pickup careened past him, hit a retaining wall, went airborne, spun around, and landed upside down. As it did so, it hit another pickup truck and a tractor-trailer.Colston came to a safe stop, called 911, and got out to help. The occupants of the tractor-trailer and the second pickup truck seemed okay, but the first pickup had now caught on fire. The man inside was screaming, "Help me! Get me out!" He was trapped inside, with his leg jammed up under the dash. Another motorist got a fire extinguisher from the tractor-trailer and threw it to Colston, who used it to smother the flames. Soon, authorities arrived and took over, but the situation could have been much worse for the man had Colston not been willing to get involved.Fortunately, as a former police officer, Colston has experience with emergency situations. "People freeze in their footsteps when they see something happen like this," he said. "But I could hear the guy screaming for help... it would have been very bad for him if we hadn't gotten those flames out."As TCA's latest Highway Angel, Colston has been presented with a certificate, patch, and lapel pin. Frito-Lay also received a certificate acknowledging that one of its drivers is a Highway Angel.

Oysters In Deep Trouble
The Seattle Times WILLAPA BAY, Wash.—The collapse began rather unspectacularly.
In 2005, when most of the millions of Pacific oysters in this tree-lined estuary failed to reproduce, Washington's shellfish growers largely shrugged it off.
In a region that provides one-sixth of the nation's oysters — the epicenter of the West Coast's $111 million oyster industry — everyone knows nature can be fickle.
But then the failure was repeated in 2006, 2007 and 2008. It spread to an Oregon hatchery that supplies baby oysters to shellfish nurseries from Puget Sound to Los Angeles. Eighty percent of that hatchery's oyster larvae died, too.
Now, as the oyster industry heads into the fifth summer of its most unnerving crisis in decades, scientists are pondering a disturbing theory. They suspect water that rises from deep in the Pacific Ocean — icy seawater that surges into Willapa Bay and gets pumped into seaside hatcheries — may be corrosive enough to kill baby oysters.
If true, that could mean shifts in ocean chemistry associated with carbon-dioxide emissions from fossil fuels may be impairing sea life faster and more dramatically than expected.
And it would vault a key Washington industry to the center of international debate over how to respond to marine changes expected to ripple through and undermine ocean food webs.
Scientists seeking to explain what's plaguing these coastal oysters say the link to more corrosive water is strong but anecdotal. It could be just one of several factors.
But the possibility leaves some shellfish farmers uneasy about more than just their future business.
Indications that ocean acidification may already play a role in the decline of oysters are a "sign of things being out of balance, and that scares the living daylights out of me," said third-generation oysterman Brian Sheldon.
Ruffling his 8-year-old son Jebediah's head, he added, "for this guy."
"Growers are scrounging"
Pacific oysters aren't native to Willapa Bay, but shellfish growers have farmed them here since the 1920s. It's about the only place left on the West Coast where growers look to the wild to get their oysters.
Normally, oysters spawn in the water, producing larvae that swim and eventually attach to a hard surface — typically other oyster shells. This creates oyster seed, called a "set." These succulent mollusks are then moved by hand throughout the bay and take two to five years to fatten up.
But somewhere between the larval stage and settling on a shell, these embryonic oysters are dying. And since only a few young have survived since 2005, "we're running out of oysters in the bay," said Bill Dewey, spokesman for Taylor Shellfish Farms. "Growers are scrounging for whatever they can find."
Standing ankle-deep in sea-
water on a south Willapa sandbar last week, Sheldon, owner of Northern Oyster Co., watched his workers gather shellfish at low tide from one of the few places that still had some: a state "oyster reserve," a sort of shellfish bank growers can lease and draw upon to subsidize their own crops.
For the first time since his grandfather started the company in 1934, Sheldon plans this year to spend thousands buying oyster seed — larvae attached to shells — from hatcheries, rather than counting solely on wild reproduction. He expects he'll make only half as much as he would in a normal year.
"It perplexes me that we are still, as a country, and really, globally, denying that there is something going on," he said. "I don't have the background in the natural sciences to tell you it's one thing or the other. I can just say that over the last 10 years it's clear to me ... something's changing. There's no doubt in my mind."
Researchers at first blamed an explosion of Vibrio tubiashii, an ocean-borne larvae-killing bacteria. When researchers sampled the marine waters that get sucked directly into the hatcheries from the sea, they found bacteria counts nearly 100 times above normal. Even after installing extensive microbe-killing ultraviolet water-treatment systems, larvae died.

Have you ever wanted to.....hit something? Throw a fit? Destroy something?
Just wondered.
Yesterday, our neighbor Tina W. stopped over to talk with me and my son. She mentioned that her vacuum had clogged - again - and that she was going to have to get a new one.
My son suggested that they take the vacuum into the backyard and smash it, so that's what they did. They took turns putting on safety goggles and smashing the vacuum cleaner. I was surprised at how sturdy the plastic was, considering that theyw ere using a hammer, ax and concrete block on the poor vaccuum.
But not to worry. Her boyfriend's dad salvaged the wires and motor for recycling.

Senior Web Presence Developer
Job Description
We are looking for someone with at least 5 years of developing web sites for small to medium size business, including ecommerce, shopping-cart, using new technologies like : HTML5 , CSS3, Jquery, JavaScript, etc. The right candidate would also need to understand business and speak English well (both written and oral communications).
I will be sending prospective candidates detailed design documents. You are to take the design and develop some RAD Prototypes for the Home page, shopping/search page(s), shopping cart, and checkout. As well, there is a need for a custom developed automated data loader. This data loader will be designed using a template approach to identify the html tag's/id's found in each of our supplier's shopping cart web pages. Using the data loader templates, and parameters given at startup, the data loader will then read the saved supplier shopping cart web pages and upload all the Product images, description, colors, styles, weight, shipping/delivery method, product code, selling price, quantity, etc. An example of one of the parameters is the field called PRICE-MULTIPLIER, this parameter will be used (if not null) to multiply the supplier price by a percentage amount so that the price that is loaded into our database is the marked up price not the supplier/wholesale price. Another parameter, PRICE_FLAT_AMOUNT, this parameter can be used with the multiplier parameter or by its self. The Flat Amount will be added to the price or the new price after using the price multiplier 1st. the end result is an automated and flexible way of uploading ordered supplier products into our database and systems for resale on a Retail level.
as noted, I have a design document for you to review. I also do not expect the RAD Prototypes to be truly working web pages - rather you should follow the design document and create an JPG image or BITMAP image - whatever - maybe an EXCEL sheet with images and fields - but something that I can look at to understand and know that you actually have read the design and understand what needs to be built.
Once the project begins, you will be asked to review the functional detail design documents and notes and then to develop a very precise and detailed TECHNICAL DESIGN document. Once the technical design document is delivered and then approved by myself and the end customer, you will be paid a percentage of our agreed upon total price.
If you do not have the technical design correct, I will ask for changes and this will iterate until the technical design is complete and approved/signed-off. No payment until completed and approved.
Next, only after approval of Technical Design document, you can begin coding the web site.
Note also that the client has an existing web site (2 actually) ; however, they need more automation, record keeping, customer tracking, etc. The team that uses the web site are not very computer savvy. SO every thing that is built must also include detailed documentation on the components, how they are used, and also a training manual that will describe how the user groups can begin utilizing the new web site.
This job is a repost of an earlier posting that was generating bids between 200.00 and 400.00. After spending time with another firm, we have now found out that what we are asking for should be priced in the 600.00-800.00 range. I am looking mostly for teams that can complete this project within 10 -14 days. That know web design and also PERL or Shell scripting so that the data loader can be built and work as described in the design. I would prefer no canned software solutions but rather everything built from scratch using the design. I know there are a lot of CMS/ADMIN programs that assist in getting things done on a web site, however, all that I have seen are too complex for this customer and their user teams. This needs to be documented and rather than one on one training, I do expect a very professional training manual , with screen shots, and step by step flows of how to accomplish each of the ADMIN things, especially the auto data loaders....
Skills: english, design, training, shell-scripting

Music Blawg
D'Orchestra (1.26.13)
It was about nine months ago when local music mingling song scribbler Jesse Shepherd Bates sat down at a piano, plodding and plotting his next band, with perennial collaborator Erik Roosen providing softly rumbled plucks from a bassfiddle. The once, former, current, and maybe, again, future-member of the Satin Peaches seems to start something new at least every year or so… Something comes, a song, a sound, a string of lyrics… and he decides quickly to follow it.
So it seemed like a pretty good idea. An indie-pop Orchestra. But a real orchestra. "A band with a bunch of strings rather than amps…"
He considers it to be a "massive project" and in less than three weeks (1.26.13) at the Magic Stick, you can sort of see and sort of hear (or least learn about) what his orchestra…
…is all about.
The only thing is, as he and producer Topher Horn were nearing completion of this project, when… "Topher's laptop got stolen with all the mixes, six months of D'Orchestra-studio-work on it…and that kinda halted the work a little bit."
What comes out at this D'Orchestra 'release' show is not the proper debut of the acoustical ensemble JSB initially envisioned, but a "Prelude." For the last three years, JSB's been constantly tracking demos, solo-acoustic pop-diary entries, in Royal Oak or Detroit, in a basement or a bedroom or maybe even one song in the locker room of a YMCA. With Horn indisposed by other projects (like Patrick Davy's Ghosts), JSB pieced together some of his newest songs with a few of his considerably older, touched-up tunes and sequenced an album (aided by the final mastering of fellow-Peach George Morris) to usher us into latest trip…a trip that's likely to include a half-dozen or more musicians, including Horn, bassist Adam Padden, drummer Will Shattuck and more…
But for now, we have a prelude to said D'orchestra: Rainy-day pop ballads wrested from a vacillating heart – broken and re-glued together again – blending the minimalist acoustic contempo-neo-emo-folk furled aesthetic with zingy tinges of synth-pop and balanced rustlings of electric bass and full-drum kicks.
"It's a step in the direction that I want to go with this project," said JSB. "And, I've got another thing percolating also of course…"

Emmys Worst: Claire Danes

It's partly her own doing, I think. Had she showed up just on her own as Claire Danes, then she would have just been Claire Danes and the hair and the tan and that dress, which is not getting enough criticism, would have been judged on their own. But she showed up for most people's first time on Ryan Seacrest's carpet, hijacking the Lena Dunham interview and essentially pushing him off camera. Full Story

I like Anna Faris so much, so much, so much. But… I'm worried. I worry that maybe the pressure after baby was too much, what with getting a new show and – gasp! – being almost 37 in Hollywood. Was it too much? There seems to be a lot of stress on her face, you know? Like…is it breaking? I don't want to say that. Full Story

Okay, so we know there's a hierarchy to these things, right?

Malin Akerman isn't super A-list, but she's not nobody, either. Full Story
It's past his shoulders now
Brad Pitt's hair. Like before it was grazing his shoulders. Now though, as you can see, it's long enough so that he can, you know, if you have it or you've had it, flip it back behind your shoulders with your hand. Are you into it? Brad's looks can be polarising. For the most part, I'm usually pro-Pitt. Full Story
Jen's fringed bob

This is apparently what Jennifer Aniston's hair in Squirrels For The Nuts will look like. This is apparently what "therapist" hair looks like? She plays one in the film. Here's Jen heading to set today wearing her big engagement ring. These shots provide a really good illustration of what a difference good hair makes. Full Story

Oh thank God it was a wig
Zhang Ziyi showed up with short hair last night at the Palais in Cannes and I recoiled in horror. The hair. It looked like she'd chopped it, and I was all ready to write an article today, finally with photo accompaniment, about why it's hard for Chinese girls to do the pixie because of the way it grows out spikey and straight up out our heads.

Annie's back in pink
The last time (that I can remember) we saw Anne Hathaway in pink, you were all hating on her for nipple darts and heavy breathing at the Oscars. But what a comeback at the MET Gala, non? Where Annie is concerned, yes, of course, always, there's always a little Try. Anne said her inspiration for the night was Debbie Harry. Full Story
Worst MET Sisters: Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
These two. And I'm usually an Olsen apologist. But Ashley totally missed the point here and you'd think Mary-Kate would embrace the punk but instead both of them seemed to be under the impression that the MET Gala theme this year was Shades of the Orient. What's frustrating is that MK was almost there. Full Story

Three weeks of Winona
New pictures of our Winona Ryder three weeks in a row -- not sure this has ever happened in the lifetime of this blog. Here's Winona last night in LA at the premiere of The Iceman. She's been looking lovely lately. Here...well... the hair isn't great, is it? The way it's teased like that, it actually gives her back that off-balance vibe she'd had for years and I mean after the bad time when it became sad and uncomfortable, and not before it, when it was still sexy/quirky/vulnerable.

Bradley Cooper in the 70s
It's been two days since we had our first look at Bradley Cooper's perm and still it makes me so happy. Here are some new shots of Coop in costume, with the perm, working on the new David O Russell ABSCAM movie in Boston. Coop can totally pull off full 70s, non? Some people, no matter how hard the wardrobe department works to make it happen, some people can only look right in their own era. Full Story
The Perm! The Perm!
I was worried it would be a slow day. It is definitely not a slow day. Bradley Cooper's perm has saved the day! Check it out -- this is the first good shot of Coop's coil on the set of the new David O Russell film. Quick. What's your first thought? My first thought? Oh hi Justin Timberlake! Justin Timberlake, of course, has gone in the opposite direction these days with the relaxer. Full Story

PORTLAND -- A week after John Kitzhaber blocked Gary Haugen's death sentence, and all executions in Oregon, the daughter of Haugen victim Mary Archer said she never heard from the governor. Archer's ex-husband called Kitzhaber a coward.
Archer was raped and beaten to death by Haugen in May of 1981, for which he received a life sentence. Haugen was given a death sentence after he was convicted of killing another inmate in 2007.
His execution had been scheduled for Dec. 6 after Haugen decided to waive all appeals.
One of Archer's daughters, Kathy Pratt, has followed Haugen's case for 30 years. She has spoken at hearings as a victim's family member, reliving her mother's violent death.
Pratt thinks the governor dismissed the law and the will of the people by stopping his execution.
"It just made no sense to me whatsoever. There just doesn't seem to be any legal or logical reason other than his personal opinion, which he feels is more important than anybody and anything else," said Pratt.
Kathy's father Ard divorced Archer when their children were young, but never stopped fighting for justice over his ex-wife's death. He was on duty as a Multnomah County Sheriff's Deputy the day Mary Archer was killed.
"I was the second police vehicle on the scene," he said, pausing, tears in his eyes. "And that was a tough one."
Kitzhaber called the retired deputy before making his reprieve announcement last week.
Pratt said he called Kitzhaber a coward, adding "that he should suck it up and be a man about it and put his personal feelings aside and let it happen because it should happen."
Kathy Pratt didn't get a personal call, but if she had, she would have echoed her father. "It is just so unfair - so unjust to me, what he's done," she said.
Kitzhaber has said he never supported the death penalty, but carried out the will of the people twice before while in office by signing death warrants.
He said he will not do it again, and wants Oregonians to have a new discussion of a death penalty system he feels is broken.

The Chiefs have agreed to a contract extension with CB Brandon Flowers, keeping the emerging playmaker under contract for the near future.
Chiefs re-sign Becht, cut O'Connell
The Chiefs announced Friday that they have re-signed TE Anthony Becht and waived TE Jake O'Connell.
Chiefs' Jackson losing grip on starting DE spot
Chiefs DE Tyson Jackson has never lived up to the hype, a reason he soon will be replaced by Wallace Gilberry in the starting lineup.
Lions announce Sunday's game is a sellout
Lions president Tom Lewand announced Wednesday that the team has sold out Sunday's home opener against the Chiefs.
Chiefs place Berry on I.R., sign S Langord
The Chiefs have placed S Eric Berry on injured reserve and signed S Reshard Langford.

Fitzpatrick's four scores lead Bills past Chiefs
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes, two of them to journeyman tight end Scott Chandler, and the Bills romped to a season-opening 41-7 victory over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Moeaki's loss is McCluster's gain
Chiefs WR-RB Dexter McCluster is likely to be the primary beneficiary from TE Tony Moeaki's season-ending torn ACL, according to AFC Whispers.
