Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Gawker is reporting that Mitt Romney's personal email account has been compromised. The anonymous hacker, who says he or she is not part of THE Anonymous, told Gawker about breaking into "firstname.lastname@example.com" using the site's password recovery option.
"[T]he tipster claims to have hacked into it by guessing Romney's favorite pet in response to a 'security' question," writes Max Read at Gawker. My guess for that would be Seamus, the famously terrified dog Romney likes to let ride on the roof of his car.
Boringly, the hacker didn't actually look at the contents of Romney's Hotmail, instead sending along the new reset password for the account to Gawker and inviting them to take a look. Gawker didn't take the bait:
The tipster didn't include any screenshots or evidence of what the accounts contained as proof. And although he or she did, as you can see, helpfully supply the new password he or she created for the account, logging in with it to assess the accuracy of the tipster's claims would put us at some legal jeopardy. So we most certainly did not do that.
via Well, it Looks Like Someone Hacked Into Mitt Romney's Private Email.
Logging into someone else's account to read their email is illegal, after all. I'm sure the case of David Kernell is still fresh in everyone's minds. He hacked into Sarah Palin's Yahoo account and was later convicted of a misdemeanor computer intrusion and felony obstruction of justice, and sentenced to a year in custody. While Gawker would be in the legal clear to run the emails if they were leaked to them by a hacker (who would be guilty of a crime), the organization can't do the hacking itself. Our laws are funny that way.
The hacker found out about the personal Hotmail account address because it was included on email chains sent around the Massachusetts governor's office during Romney's reign there (which is technically a no-no). The work-related email chains were released by the Wall Street Journal this week.
The alleged hack proves once again how flawed security questions are in the age of Facebook, where the answers are often easy to find, and particularly for celebs, who tend to have lots of personal details about themselves come out in interviews and various news articles. Helpful advice for companies from security researcher Ashkan Soltani, via Twitter: "Eliminating "favorite pet" might single-handedly improve celebrity security by a factor of 10x."
Alternately, Google's attempt to make email more secure with two-step verification, which requires users to enter a code they receive on their phone before letting anyone log into their email from a new computer or device, is yet one more reason why Gmail is a better option than Hotmail.
Romney's team says it's investigating the hack. Political pundits can now speculate on Romney being outed as a Hotmail user and how his campaign will handle the domain shame.
Anyone, particularly those in public view, that doesn't secure their email accounts and other web logins with a two-factor authentication method risks an intrusion by hackers with a first-grade education.
Two-factor authentication (known in the industry as "2FA") involves something you know – such as your password – and something you have – such as a "token" or specific piece of information, to secure access to your account. The most popular variety is the largely-reviled "key fob" style that changes numbers constantly and requires complex installation, carrying an extra device with you all the time and is expensive.
In today's world that's nuts. Properly designed 2FA systems would allow Mr. Romney and others on his team to use their own personal cell phones to secure their logins. A properly designed 2FA system would use the phone's "fingerprint" – unique to that phone and impervious to cloning or spoofing – to identify that user. If set up that way an intruder would need the ID, password and mobile device all at the same time… a very unlikely scenario seeing as most people have their own phones within arm's reach constantly.
Ideally the system should be designed so that the verification code is shown in open text on the web page *instead* of a field into which data (the code) can be entered is a better design. The code displayed must then be sent by the mobile that is associated with that account and ONLY if that mobile (not a clone or a spoofed number – neither will work) sends the code is verification completed.
2FA systems aren't perfect but utilizing the unique device ID of a mobile by reversing the process as described here, combined with a code and a PIN, reduces the likelihood of intrusion to an infinitesimal level. Mr. Romney's team (along with anyone else who wishes to protect their data, identity, logins or accounts) should seek assurance by using one of these systems immediately.
I like this response. Users of ThreadThat (an ad-free, cost-free, private, secure, encrypted alternative to email that I developed 3 years ago) includes a 2FA option that sends a 4-character, single use pin to the user's registered mobile device at the time a valid user name and password is entered. The pin number arrives instantly and must be entered to complete the login. 10 invalid login attempts revoke the account. The only way to hack the account is to be in possession of the mobile device and know the correct username and password.
Its surprising that Mitt Romney is using a free email service..but it's even more surprising that hotmail is not allowing their users to telesign in.
Passwords and challenge questions are not enough to secure emails or any account! If you telesign in, you would need to have something no one else has: your phone!
If only Gawker logged in, they could have broken the story that Romney's real wealth came from helping Nigerian widows recover lost millions from Swiss bank accounts.
Comment of the day!!!
As a libertarian who occasionally votes Republican in Presidential elections (I voted for Barr over McCain in '08, after being very disappointed having voted for Bush in '04), I'm really disappointed in the fact that they choose such questionable domains for their personal email accounts. Yahoo!, Mrs. Palin, seriously? But even Yahoo! is a step above hotmail. You would think an uber-wealthy and successful business person would have their own domain, or get one from their ISP. But if you are going to go on the free side, at least go with the route of everyone who has an ounce of self-respect and get gmail.
First I hear his comments about Israel and think he's going to continue our silly interventionist foreign policy. Then I hear him talk about fiscal policy and realize he's never going to touch (other than to increase) defense spending.
All of that gave me serious doubts. More in line with my views than Obama, sure- but enough to get my swing-state vote? This new revelation really worries me, though….hotmail? HOTMAIL?
I wonder how many Republicans are out there on bended knee praying that the story gets discredited because email@example.com wasn't ever really his personal email in the first place.
Next we'll learn that his wife's personal email is to "email@example.com"

Nuclear science is a relatively new science and we're learning more and more about its potential—in energy, medicine, and other fields—as time goes by. However, there do exist factions of our society that consider it dangerous and basically about building bombs, so it's important to understand what you're getting into.
If you've weighed the plusses (working in a relatively new field, the ability to go as deep as you want into the science and work in almost any area) and the minuses (a certain amount of risk, possible snarky remarks from friends, family, and strangers), and you still feel this is your bag, you are entering an industry that's not going away anytime soon, and there is plenty of opportunity for a resourceful, smart, and left-brained science (nerd) lover like yourself.

In a unanimous decision, the Weston Conservation Commission voted to recommend allowing authorized bow hunting of deer on portions of town-owned land to, over time, gain some control over what they say is an "intractable problem" in Weston.
The recommendation followed a lengthy, at times uncomfortable discussion at the last night about options for deer management, the last in a series of forums and meetings held on the topic by the Conservation Commission over the past six months.
While the views expressed by individual members were largely shared by the commission as a whole, a number of residents voiced concerns about hunting deer that ranged from safety to whether bow hunting is humane. The commission will present its recommendation to the Weston Board of Selectman, who will discuss the issue at its June 11 meeting.
Check Weston Patch on Monday morning for full coverage of the meeting.

Kids who trick-or-treat in Seattle this Halloween are likely to stay safe and get loads of candy, according to real estate website Zillow.
That's because Seattle ranks fourth on their list of the best cities for trick-or-treating.
Zillow formed the list by analyzing home values, population density, the ability to walk around the area and crime stats.
Top cities are those where kids can get the best candy without having to walk too far, while experiencing the fewest safety risks.
Zillow took the analysis one step further and broke down the best trick-or-treating neighborhoods in Seattle.
They are: Loyal Heights, Phinney Ridge, Wallingford, Madison Park and Roosevelt.
Portland also ranked in the top 10.

Could Controversy Surrounding Global Warming Cool Down?
Climate change hasn't always been a partisan issue.
Gridlock in Washington has stopped Congress from pushing through legislation that would have helped farmers, reworked No Child Left Behind, and help companies fight cybersecurity. So it's no wonder Washington has stayed away from a polarizing issue such as climate change during an election year.
But sentiment on the issue hasn't always been divided along party lines. During the 1988 presidential campaign, Republican George H.W. Bush pledged to "fight the Greenhouse Effect with the White House effect." And a 1997 PEW poll found that nearly half of Republicans thought America should follow other countries' leads on environmental issues. Nearly two-thirds of Americans were willing to pay up to 25 cents more per gallon of gas to help combat global warming. Other polls suggested that nearly two-thirds of Americans thought global warming was a serious issue.
So what happened? The idea that legislation would be needed to deal with the threat of global warming became all too real with the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, a United Nations agreement ratified by 191 countries designed to reduce emissions. Though the United States was a signatory, America never ratified it and Senators Robert Byrd and Chuck Hagel wrote a Senate resolution that stated the treaty would "result in serious harm to the economy of the United States."
[REPORT: Gen X Doesn't Care About Climate Change]
Though that resolution was bipartisan and passed by a vote of 95-0, experts who study the issue say that was the beginning of the end for bi-partisanship on climate change.
"After Al Gore came back from Kyoto, President Clinton tried to sell it to the American people," says Ed Maibach, director of George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication. "In this case, Republicans fear that the kinds of solutions being prescribed are essentially going to grow the government and increase government intrusion into their lives, and that actually may well be the case."
Maibach says scientists, companies, and politicians should try proposing more free market solutions to climate change—a view that many Republicans have embraced. "The solutions we've debated are ones that would increase the government's footprint," he says. "The consequence is that it's helped convince an increasingly large group of Republicans that climate change isn't real or isn't a threat."
Peter Frumhoff, director of science and policy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, says that with Washington as polarized as ever, legislation that either seeks to address or ignore climate change is more likely to happen on local and state levels.
[RELATED: Did Global Warming Cause Hottest July on Record?]
"It's unrealistic to expect the gridlock to clear up in February 2013," he said Tuesday at the Library of Congress. "There's very little prospect for serious Congressional action anytime soon, perhaps not until 2016."
Frumhoff says from his perspective, states such as Michigan and California have done well on the climate change issue. Michigan will vote in November on a referendum that would require the state to source a quarter of its power from renewable sources by 2025, and California just passed a law that seeks to address coastal sea level rise.
But in more Republican-leaning states, lawmakers are going the other way. North Carolina voted in August to ban the use of the latest scientific predictions on sea level rise when contractors develop along its coastline. Frumhoff blasted the law Tuesday.
"You can pass laws, but you can't change the laws of physics," he said. "This is a case of science not being just ignored, but being actively dismissed."
[REPORT: 100 Million Could Die From Climate Change by 2030]
Mitt Romney has already said he believes climate change is caused by humans, but has added that he's "not in this race to slow the rise of the oceans or to heal the planet." But with Romney not actively denying global warming, Maibach says he has a chance to bring the climate change debate back to the center of the political spectrum.

DENVER, CO - JUNE 30: Yasmani Grandal #12 of the San Diego Padres celebrates a homerun in the fourth inning with Cameron Maybin #24 during a game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on June 30, 2012 in Denver, Colorado. The homerun was the first of Grandal's career. (Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images)
Professional baseball has been played in America since 1876. In that entire time, the 135 years, no player had ever had his first two career hits be home runs, hit from opposite sides of the plate.
That incredible stretch was broken Saturday afternoon, in the Padres 8-4 win over the Rockies.
Padres rookie catcher Yasmani Grandal, just called up from Tucson and making his first MLB start, had a debut that may never be duplicated.
In the 4th inning (batting right-handed), Grandal hit a solo homer to deep left-center at Coors Field. Getting his first big league hit, and having it be a home run, is a big enough thrill.
But Yasmani went all out.
In the 6th (batting left-handed), Grandal hit an opposite field, historic, 2-run homer.
"I can't describe how remarkable this is," said Grandal. "To hit two homers for my first two hits is incredible."
Grandal was brought up because starter Nick Hundley was struggling at the plate. Nick was only hitting .166 with 3 home runs in 55 games this season.
Grandal was one of the key components in the Padres' December trade with the Reds. The 23-year-old won't hit two home runs in every game, but he is one of the top prospects in baseball for a reason. A very good reason.
With a debut like that, the rest of the game was almost an afterthought. However, it bears noting that Alexi Amarista also had a 2-home run day. It was his first career multi-homer game. The 5'7", 150-pound shortstop has hit 3 homers in 3 games.

This Victress roadster is a Ford chassis special thad does not include a drivetrain but is said to have been set-up for a flathead V8. We have featured several complete Victress roadsters, and they can be knockouts if done well. This is a cheap an entry point as we have seen. Find it here on KSL.com in Sandy, Utah for only $950. Special thanks to BaT reader Rod S. for this submission!
Victress C3 Fiberglass Special Roadster Project

Two of these gems in one day?
I don't need any more projects, but this one is very cool. It would be quite tempting if it was closer…
I would guess this one is gonzo too. 50s fiberglass specials are a hot item these days. You can throw some creativity and original thinking at them without destroying their value. Try that with a series produced manufactured car of the day.
~ Forgotten Fiberglass day on BaT! this is so much better than wall-to-wall politics! thanks, fellas!
I have the greatest idea… first you sand and repaint it. Then, but two long wood beams under it and have the masses carry you around on your royal throne!
And then it could, literally, run as is!
And that is why you are KingZut!
Nice Nomad peeking from the bay in the background…
Fiberglass body, flatty power- you could do some nice stuff with this. I don't think you could build a body like that for less than a grand, despite what it would take to refurb it.
~ @ KingZut,
. convertible sedan chair, primitive elegance.
Today is the day of fiberglass oddballs, apparently.
a worthy posting…and interesting project
and, looks like its already on the trailer!
Pretty appealing design from the front, too bad there is not a rear view photo in the ad.
Cool. I want my garage packed with stuff like this.
No way this one is gonna last at this price. What would an unrestored Kaiser Darrin be going for in the same condition?
How many of these were made? Anyone know?
Theres something really appealing about a tiny American manufacturer in the 50′s, building interesting ambitious cars on a shoestring budget… trying to come up with something special……
I believe it's a fastback coupe with the roof cut off. There weren't any C3 roadsters
The C3 was a coupe body, but (apparently) there were a (very) few "converted" to roadsters. Read more on that forgotten fiberglass website, lotta good stuff there for the few Polular Mechanics types here on BaT.

I believe it's a fastback coupe with the roof cut off. There weren't any C3 roadsters, except maybe one prototype
For that kind of money I'd hang it from the shop rafters.
This is the sort of listing that make me think about Darrell Wilhelm, one of the ear;u regulars whom I have not seen post for quite some time.
Darrell, are you still out there? Doing well, I hope.
I'll go ahead and say it. Having never seen one of these before, and after doing some 'research' – I prefer it as a fastback.
Really neat looking little car.
The Colorado Grand has accepted a Victress Roadster, probably the cheapest car ever accepted on that stellar event . Except the Alfa Spider that I paid $4,300 for in 1990. When I told other Grand entrants that I had the cheapest car on the event, a guy driving a Ferrari Barchetta (circa-1952) disputed that, saying that he had paid only $1,200 for his car–in 1963! I offered him an even swap, but somehow he begged off…
~ @ Frank Barrett,
. nice try though.
. @ Cavepainter,
. definitely follow dp's suggestion. days and days of great reading and research.
@KingZut When I first quickly read your comment, I read "misses."
Ah, that has a better ring than "masses."
The fact that the doors have been glassed shut tells you everything you need to know about the wisdom of taking a sawzall to the roof.
The Victresses are nicer than most fiberglass specials; but still don't do much for me; but I like the theme of 'Fiberglass Fridays.' This one has the benefit (and challenge) of being the basis for nearly anything the next owner wants.

Government schools in California, at least most districts, are owned by unions. The legislature is owned by the unions. It is no surprise that Gov. Brown, who received tens of millions from unions in 2010 to get elected governor and tens of millions from unions in 2012 to pass a $50 billion tax increase, is forcing students to celebrate extortion and blackmail.
Remember, in California government workers are force to pay a bribe to work—otherwise they are not allowed to work—that is called extortion. Then you have unions that picket, strike, harass and freely violate workers rights by blackmailing employers—give us the contract we want or we close you down—just ask the patients in Bay Area hospitals harmed by the nurse's strikes.
"As enacted by Governor Jerry Brown in 2012 through Assembly Bill 2269, the entire month of May is now designated by the state government for labor unions to introduce their own propaganda to students through California public schools. Union officials and their allies in academia are open about the purpose of teaching labor history as a specific subject in public schools."

How Will Students Celebrate Labor History Month in California Schools?
By Kevin Dayton, Union Watch, 12/31/12
Do you have children or grandchildren in California public schools? You may need to give some counter-instruction at home to balance the material disseminated at school assemblies and through classroom instruction during Labor History Month.
As enacted by Governor Jerry Brown in 2012 through Assembly Bill 2269, the entire month of May is now designated by the state government for labor unions to introduce their own propaganda to students through California public schools. Union officials and their allies in academia are open about the purpose of teaching labor history as a specific subject in public schools: "The severing of historical memory, through the loss of oral histories, personal connections and diminished media coverage, makes it harder for the labor movement to organize members…informing young people about the movement's history and accomplishments may help the movement's future."
AB 2269 was approved on a party-line vote in the California State Assembly (a handful of Republicans apparently chose not to vote on it) and on a party-line vote in the California State Senate.
The only recorded objection to the bill was my five-page letter: Assembly Bill 2269 – OPPOSE, in which I cited my 2003 article from the journal Government Union Review: Labor History in Public Schools: Unions Get 'Em While They're Young.
Labor History Month is an expansion of Labor History Week, signed into law by Governor Gray Davis in 2002 as Assembly Bill 1900. One week turned out to be inadequate, as too many school districts were on vacation during the first week of April. Students were slipping out of the "appropriate educational exercises that make pupils aware of the role that the labor movement has played in shaping California and the United States."
So now the entire month of May is "Labor History Month" in California schools. It provides 31 days of potential educational exercises, including the historically important international labor holiday on May 1 known as May Day.
Go to these links to see how some parties are especially looking forward to Labor History Month in California public schools:
- California Federation of Teachers' Labor in the Schools Committee
- California Teachers Association – Labor History: We Are One
- California Assembly Speaker's Commission on Labor Education
- University of California Miguel Contreras Labor Program
- American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO (California)
- California Department of Education and State Superintendent of Public Instruction
- United Association for Labor Education
- Union organizations that officially supported Assembly Bill 2269: California Labor Federation, California Nurses Association, California Professional Firefighters, California School Employees Association, Northern California District Council of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, State Building and Construction Trades Council of California
Here are some related bills and regulatory initiatives from the mid-2000s that were not enacted into California law:
- In 2003, the California legislature considered but did not pass Assembly Bill 581, which would have required the California State Department of Education to consider a labor relations curriculum in its next determination of the state's History-Social Science curriculum framework and accompanying instructional materials. The legislature also considered but not did pass Assembly Bill 1177, which would have required school boards to use history, social studies, and civics textbooks that include California labor history up to the present.
- In 2004, Assembly Bill 1872 was introduced to insert labor history requirements into the California Education Code.
- In 2005, Assembly Bill 1 would have required the California State Board of Education to ensure that the state curriculum and framework include instruction on the history of the labor movement in the United States and that criteria for selecting textbooks include highlighting the contributions and history of the labor movement in the United States.
- In 2004, "Applicant #31″ for the California Department of Education's 2005 History-Social Science Primary Adoption Instructional Materials Advisory Panel (IMAP) was a leader in the California Federation of Teachers' Labor in the Schools Committee. According to the applicant's profile provided by the Department of Education, Applicant #31 "designed and led professional development workshops on labor education at schools throughout the district, state, and country. She is the creator of the Collective Bargaining Education Project, which models a labor relations curriculum for secondary teachers and students, and author of Workplace Issues and Collective Bargaining in the Classroom, an award-winning interactive social studies curriculum." My former employer, Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of California, sent a letter to the Board of Education opposing the applicant. State Senator Jeff Denham and Assemblyman Bob Dutton also wrote opposition letters to the Board of Education. Nevertheless, the Board of Education appointed Applicant #31 to the panel, even though she was the only applicant who clearly represented a special interest group. In the end, the State Board of Education adopted the History-Social Science Instructional Materials at its November 9, 2005 meeting, without any obvious infiltration of biased labor history into the process. Budget shortfalls have since brought a halt to the state's process of continually revising and refining the History-Social Science framework. The Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission (Curriculum Commission) approved a draft History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools for field review on July 17, 2009, but lack of funding suspended further work on the framework.
Expect to see more legislation in 2013 and 2014 to wedge Labor History deeper into the California public school curriculum.

City Councilman Eric Garcetti and City Controller Wendy Greuel, who led the field of mayoral candidates in fundraising, will face each other in a May 21 runoff in the race to become the city's next chief executive.
The results of Tuesday's election went as predicted, with Garcetti and Greuel jumping to early leads in the eight-candidate race and never relenting, but both falling short of the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Garcetti had nearly 33 percent of the vote and Greuel had 29 percent.
- VIDEO: Greuel Turns Attention Toward General Election
- VIDEO: Garcetti Touts Record of Achievement in CD13
Businessman Kevin James edged out Councilwoman Jan Perry for third. James had 16.36 percent of the vote to Perry's 15.93 percent.
Garcetti and Greuel easily outpaced their competitors in primary election fundraising, with each collecting more than $4 million.
James and ex-tech executive Emanuel Pleitez rounded out the list of the more widely featured candidates; while Yehuda "YJ" Draiman, Norton Sandler and perennial candidate Addie M. Miller were also vying for the job. Greuel, Garcetti and Perry formed a trifecta of sitting elected officials who touted their experience in the public sector while facing two self-described political outsiders in James and Pleitez.
James was the sole Republican in the non-partisan race and would have been the first openly gay mayor if elected. Greuel would be the city's first female mayor.
"You know, ladies and gentlemen, we are just 11 weeks from electing a mayor for all of Los Angeles so no part of our city is left behind," Greuel told supporters last night in downtown Los Angeles. "And yes, we're 11 weeks from making history, electing the first woman mayor, and of course, first mom for the mayor of the greatest city ...
"Los Angeles deserves tough and strong leadership, a leader tough enough to weed out waste, fraud and abuse at City Hall and bring our fiscal house in order. I am that leader."
At his election-night party in Hollywood, Garcetti rallied his supporters by echoing a theme of his campaign -- job creation and development in his 13th District. He also touted his "record of real pension reform, of responsible budget cutting, of getting ourselves through tough times so that we could protect core services that people depend on in our neighborhoods."
"It's why this district is ranked number one by the Chamber of Commerce in job growth in the midst of a recession," he said. "I'd like to say we accomplished this because of great leadership, but we didn't, at least not in the singular sense. We did it because leadership, we understood, doesn't just exist up here at a podium. But it's out there on the streets. It's every block and every street and every neighborhood in this city that is waiting to be unleashed. The creativity and the genius that is Los Angeles, we will bring back, and that's what I'm going to do as the next mayor of Los Angeles."
The city's looming $200 million-plus budget deficit in the upcoming year is arguably the most pressing issue on tap for L.A.'s next chief executive. Along with ballooning pension costs, the future mayor will be faced with a shortage of funds that could jeopardize critical services in years to come.
During the campaign, Greuel, a former councilwoman, boasted experience in both the public and private sphere, having spent five years as an executive at animation company DreamWorks.
She was noted for declaring, with some dispute from opponents, that as city controller she dug up $160 million in "waste, fraud and abuse." She was also fond of plugging her time as a deputy mayor in Tom Bradley's administration.
Greuel took hits from opponents over her financial backing by unions such as the IBEW Local 18, which represents Department of Water and Power workers, and the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the police union. A recent tally put union contributions to a super PAC supporting Greuel's campaign at $2.5 million.
Later today, the Service Employees International Union will announce its endorsement of Greuel in the runoff election.
Meanwhile, a promise by Greuel to increase police ranks by 2,000 officers was slammed by her opponents as unreasonable, if not suspect, given the city's budget and the types of groups funding her campaign.
Greuel, 51, tried to counter the perception she would bow to union pressure by promising not to raise salaries for DWP workers if the city still faces a deficit next year.
"We are going to cross the finish line with Wendy," city Police Commissioner John Mack told the crowd at Greuel's election-night party.
He added that Greuel was "deeply committed to making sure our mosaic of a city will be at the table."
Garcetti, a native of Silver Lake, ran a campaign that sporadically took advantage of his show biz connections, whether it was getting an endorsement from comedian Will Ferrell or accompanying electronic music D.J. Moby on the keyboard at a fundraiser.
Garcetti comes with an Ivy League resume that includes undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia University and a year studying as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University, and later the London School of Economics. He is also noted for having traveled to 80 countries, including on charity and relief missions.
Garcetti, 42, has had to counter claims that he helped contribute to the budget deficit by voting to raise salaries for public safety and other city employees.
Some observers have blamed an early lack of tough budget-related decisions on then-Council President Garcetti and his penchant for consensus- building, which is normally considered an attribute but can also be ammunition for opponents equating it to an unwillingness to stand-up to powerful entities like city employee unions.
During the campaign, Garcetti touted his role in the redevelopment of once-blighted areas of Hollywood, as well as his record on environmentally friendly policy-making -- such as solar-energy initiatives -- and his endorsement by the Sierra Club.
As the primary election neared, however, Pleitez filed ethics complaints alleging Garcetti held shares in billboard company Clear Channel and The Home Depot while voting on council items involving both. Garcetti has denied any conflict of interest.
Greuel criticized the development of Hollywood, saying it brought traffic and air pollution to the area. A petition was also circulated urging Garcetti to withdraw shares he has in oil company Venoco.
Unlike Greuel, Garcetti swore off independent contributions throughout much of his campaign, and as a result trailed in spending power. A PAC supporting Garcetti was recently formed, not for the primary election, but for the May 21 general election.

Managing HIV in the Workplace
Examples of nine Non-Governmental Organizations in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
Published: 29 November 2004
Southern Africa is the epicentre of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and NGOs in the region are having to work in a climate where more and more time and resources are going towards ensuring staff remain health, safe, motivated and productive. Issues of staff management and welfare have become more important than ever before. The reality is that the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in NGOs is even greater that it is on the commercial private sector in the region, largely because NGOs have a much smaller resource base.

Going "budget" at Chez Panisse
My girlfriend and I are serious food-obsessives, and in a couple months will begin a year of living abroad.
We've been in the east bay for the past three years and have not managed to try Chez Panisse downstairs (we have been to the cafe), and both of us feel like we should really have at least one meal there before we move away.
However, as we're both about to quit our jobs (at non-profits which didn't pay all that much anyway), we're in serious budget mode, and feel that we can only really afford a Chez Panisse meal if it's a Monday night and we stick to drinking water.
So here's my question, which is a bit silly, but nevertheless: will we feel uncomfortable or awkward not ordering any wine, or any drinks at all other than water at a Chez Panisse downstairs dinner? Is drinking wine enough an "expected" part of a meal of that caliber that we will feel like we're doing something wrong?
I assume, given the level of service at Chez Panisse, that the answer is no, but I want to see what other folks have to say about that.
Never been to Chez Pannise, but always order plain old tap water with the tasting menus we have had. I don't drink alcohol and really don't like anything else with my food but water. Yes - sometimes service is a bit snobby when I order just tap water, but they get over it. French Laundry for instance seemed to be a bit taken off guard that I didn't want wine, but just tap water, but it worked out just splendidly. I always figure it is not my problem but theirs if they are annoyed by it - so just go and enjoy the experience.
That being said - when I was about to burst with my first child, my husband whisked me away for a dinner in Napa. We were dirt poor and so we couldn't be extravagant even if we wanted to, but we did want a nice restaurant. Anyway, the waiter was so nice about not drinking alcohol because I was obviously pregnant, and even praised my husband for abstaining and having water too (so as not to drink in front of his poor pregnant wife). So if all else fails have your girlfriend stick a pillow under her shirt j/k : )
You would also be most welcome to bring a bottle of your own. The staff is very warm and if you engage in conversation about your upcoming trip may very well comp the corkage fee. Not sure how you feel about this option, just don't bring Two-Buck Chuck.
re: rabaja
It would be nice if CP comped the corkage but I wouldn't count on it simply because those things usually get stuck when you can least afford it.
Once brought a $35-ish bottle to CP...the corkage make it basically the same price as they served something very similar. Seems corkage really only make sense if the wine is in the special, rare or expensive category.
If you want wine w dinner, you might try splitting or drinking out of the same glass. As mentioned, they wouldn't bat an eye. It might add $8-10 bucks to the bill.
re: rabaja
Corkage is $25. There are half bottles on the list for less than that, and a full bottle of nice rosé for $28.
I've had the corkage ($25) comped often, but typically we buy at least two bottles from the list for each one be bring in. If you don't buy any wine, you're much less likely to get comped.

Bacon-wrapped scallops are one of the most luxurious appetizers you can serve, not to mention one of the easiest to prepare.
I like using big, plump Alaskan sea scallops and apple wood smoked bacon. Because there are only two main ingredients in this dish, look for the best quality the biggest, freshest sea scallops you can find, and the most flavorful bacon. In a pinch, frozen scallops will do.
There are two types of scallops, but only one of them is appropriate for the grill. Tiny bay scallops are so sweet, you can eat them raw or just lightly sauteed. But they also are more expensive and not suited for grilling. What you want are the larger, less expensive sea scallops.
Weve also paired these with a simple maple-mustard sauce that is delicious dolloped just before serving. But feel free to leave that off.
Youll need an outdoor or stovetop grill for this recipe.
Start to finish: 20 minutes; makes 12 to 14 scallops
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pound jumbo sea scallops
1/2 pound center-cut bacon
Salt and ground black pepper
Round wooden toothpicks, soaked in water for 30 mins
Heat the oven to 400 F. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
Heat the grill to medium-high.
In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and maple syrup. Set aside.
Use paper towels to blot dry the scallops. Arrange them on a plate, then set aside.
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the rack over the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until just starting to cook.
Do not fully cook the bacon. Remove the bacon from the oven. If too hot to handle, let cool for several minutes.
Once the bacon can be handled, wrap one slice of bacon around each scallop. Secure in place by threading one of the toothpicks through the bacon and scallop.
Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the tops and bottoms of the scallops with bacon fat from the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Serve with the sauce for dolloping a bit onto each.

My Email Digests
Kindergarten: Teach names for all body parts. ---Direct Quote: Introduce basic reproductive body parts (penis, vagina, breast, nipples, testicles, scrotum, uterus).
---Recognize that Family structures differ, Understand that love means having deep and warm feelings about oneself and others, recognize that people express love differently to their parents, families, and friends. Understand human beings can love people of the same gender & people of the other gender.
Grade 1: Understand human beings can love people of the same gender & people of another gender.
Grade 5: understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration, understand sexual orientation refers to a person's physical and/or romantic attraction to individual of the same and/or different gender, and is one part of one's personality.
Grade 6 - 12: this gets really graphic talking about how to have the above and what body parts can be used such as fingers, ect.
Grade 7: Understand that Sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral, or anal penetration; using the penis, fingers, tongue or objects.
Here was my response:
My name is Kim XXXXXX, and I am mother to three girls, ages 15, 10, and nearly 2. My older two children are currently enrolled in the XXXXX Public School System and are doing very well.
I am writing this email to state that I am very much AGAINST the new sex ed curriculum, for these reasons stated below:
1. We are a traditional heterosexual family, husband and wife. We teach our children from the time they are toddlers about "love," but not about our sexual acts or how to perform them.
2. My husband and I teach our children from a young age that there are heterosexual couples and homosexual couples, and each type of couple feels the same love and devotion towards one another. Again, we are teaching "love," but not the sexual acts performed by each type.
3. My 5 year-old female child does NOT need to understand the correct terminology of a boy's private parts, such as scrotum or testicle. She is still learning about her own.
4. We teach, as parents, how babies are made through intercourse?but again, that is age appropriate information and very general at first, expounding in detail as the child ages and matures.
5. My 10 year old child does NOT need to understand that intercourse can be oral or anal penetration as well as vaginal. Fifth grade is simply too young for that type of knowledge.
6. My Sixth or Seventh Grade child does NOT need to know what body parts or objects are used for vaginal, oral, or anal penetration.
I believe this type of sex ed curriculum is simply NOT okay, regardless of the age of the child.
I sincerely hope this curriculum does NOT make its way into the XXXXXX public school system.
Maybe in 9th grade...or shoot, even the end of 8th grade year, but NOT so early.
I will definitely pull my child from these "knowledge is power" classes, if they go through.
My BF came in my belly button, can the sperm get into my uterus through there? or My friend told me that I could douche with a bottle of soda after we have sex and I can't get pregnant, so how can I be pregnant?
Some of the girls that came in to see me were like 12 years old and had been sexually active for a while. Now, I am not saying that all young teenagers are like this, but I 100% blame the fact that they didn't know anything about sex or alternatives to sex and were ending up pregnant. I would rather have my 12 year old using their fingers instead of their penises, that's for sure.
I also strongly believe that children should be taught that homosexuality is normal. Like the poster said above, we need to start teaching our children that there are different ways to live other than what has been prescribed by society as "normal".
I would rather have my children be over educated, and be able to make smart, and informed choices about their bodies and the bodies of others rather than them being left in the dark and doing something stupid because they don't know any better. So many parents today seem to think that if they don't talk about sex it won't happen, but pregancy and STD statistics scream otherwise.
I can see the info on sexual orientation being a hot-button trigger. I'd be for it personally, since it could reduce the bullying and horrifying isolation that homosexual teens can feel, particularly when they do not get support at home. I can see where it would clash with some people's own personally-held religious beliefs, though.
I also think it is a great idea to teach young children about different family structures at a young age. There is a small, but growing, number of children who are raised by parents in same sex relationships, and I think it is important for their peers to be educated about the ways families differ. I think even more common is having a gay aunt or uncle or other close family member or family friend, so I think teaching acceptance and different types of relationships at a young age is key. From what you posted, it doesn't sound like there would be any explicit information about the sex acts that occur between same sex couples at least until 5th grade, so I don't know why there is any issue there.
Honestly, this curriculum seems pretty forward thinking and age appropriate in my eyes. The only thing that seems lacking is discussion about contraceptives and STDs, although maybe that is included but just not discussed in the above blurb.
We use proper names for all body parts in our family. DS knows he has a penis and testicles. He also knows that DD has a vagina. The same goes for DD. If they are teaching kindergarteners body parts, then fine. I don't see it as an issue for me.
Growing up I knew all of this stuff before I was exposed to these classes. And I knew most of it from my friends.
Maybe I'm more liberal when it comes to this stuff. IDK. And maybe I'll change my mind when my kids get older.
I have taught my children about sex and sexual intercourse and homosexual relationships at age appropriate levels, and they have a pretty good grasp of these things at age appropriate levels.
For instance, my 15yod knows about anal sex and that STDs can be transmitted through oral sex, but my 10yo doesn't. I think that's too early, especially when my 10yo is still playing with plastic animals and sidewalk chalk, LOL.
I discussed things with them myself, AND purchased further reading materials in age appropriate levels. The book I gave to my older daughter at age 12 was not the same book my younger daughter received at age 8.
And my daughters would share their books with their little girlfriends when there were sleepovers. For example, my 8yod might have her little frined sleep over and they would huddle up on the bed and read the age-appropriate book together. Whereas my older daughter would read her age appropriate book with her BFFs.
Knowledge is power, yes. But I don't want my 10yod knowing about anal and oral sex just yet. She's still playing with sidewalk chalk and her pogo stick, like I said.
I think it's sad that there are parents out there who don't relay information to the children or "teach" their children properly. And maybe this curriculum would help THEM? But again, I think it's just too early.
I would like an "opt-out" on this curriculum...although truly, then all the other kids would be discussing it on the playground and my child won't be receiving the correct information...which I DON'T EVEN WANT HER TO HAVE just yet.
Kids can learn much of this curriculum in PG-13 movies. I guess I just think that it is a good idea to help kids learn about what is happening to their bodies, and that the feelings and urges they get are normal; but there can be consequences for acting on them, and they should be safe. To me, that is just better than little Johnny & little Suzy experimenting behind the gym or something.

Korean Yuja Cha (Yuzu Tea) is deliciously sweet and tart and full of Vitamin C. Yuja (citron or yuzu) is a citrus fruit that is yellowish green, similar to the lemon, but with a very acidic and dry pulp. Popular in the winter and also as a Korean cold and flu remedy, it is very easy to make at home if you can find fresh citron. If you cannot find fresh yuja, then many Asian groceries and almost all Korean markets will sell the Yuja Chung (Citron Tea Marmalade).
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
- 5 yuja fruits (citron or yuzu), scrubbed clean.
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup honey
- Slice the yuja fruits thinly and quarter. Leave the peel intact but remove the seeds.
- Dissolve the honey in very warm water, making a thick syrup.
- Add the yuja fruit slices to the mixture, mixing to combine into yuja chung (yuja marmalade).
- Keep in a closed container at room temperature for one day and then store in refrigerator.
- To make tea, dissolve one spoonful of yuja chung into one cup of water.
*When you drink the tea, you also eat the bits and pieces of yuja fruit and rind that come your way.

Recent Bryce Canyon Reviews
very nice home: pro's: beautiful kitchen that was well equipped. beautiful front and back decks. Great location between Bryce and Zion parks. nice tv/sound system. cons: not a place for people not able to climb stairs, 2 flights to get into the house and 2 flights to get from the main floor to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are. light switch's confusing. upstairs bedrooms hard to keep cool, even with ceiling fans. fan switchs confusing, some not working and in the case of the master bedroom, wall switch doesnt work for fan, had to stand on the bed to reach the small ceiling fan switch. recent gravel that was put down on driveway is too loose, making for slippery drive up a steep driveway and is allready wash boarding. need a sign at the turn into the property with the house number, as the turn doesnt look like a road leading to a home as the house is not visible from the turn. overall a very good stay, just some thoughts to make it an even better stay.
Ideal setting for family with college age children. Explored Bryce and Zion parks by day then returned to our very comfortable palace for great family dinners.
This is a wonderful log cabin centrally located between Bryce and Zion. My family (6 adults) had plenty of room and really enjoyed being away from it all. Being able to see so many stars (even 4 meteors) is something we don't get to do at home so we built a fire every night and watched the wildlife from the patio. The house is well stocked with everything you need for your stay in the kitchen and otherwise. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. Teresa is so accommodating and a joy to work with during the reservation and stay. She showed us to the property and gave us a house tour at the beginning. As someone who has stayed in at least 10 different homeaway/vrbo properties, this was a wonderful touch.

Sunday's wind and warm temperatures did not make for ideal ice skating weather.
Once again, the ice rink at Main Street Square closed because of the warm weather.
Maintenance crews at the square say a machine pumps a cooling fluid through the mats beneath the ice to keep it from melting on warmer days.
But temperatures in the upper 60's proved to be too warm even with the machine.
The good news is that the rink is usually good to go by late afternoon when it cools off.

The Jan 1st issue of GEN (pp 16-17) reports on a Kalorama Information market projection on the prospects for the human vaccine market in Europe from 2010-2014. Kalorama predicts the Euro market for vaccines will hit $7.9 B when 2010 is totalled - up from $4 B in 2006. They are further projecting a 10.6% CAGR from 2010-2014 whereupon the market will reach $11.9 B in size.
Growth is driven by both pediatric vaccines (9.6%) and adult vaccines, like H1N1, (11.6%) to produce the projected combined rate of 10.6%. As can be seen, the adult vaccine segment is expected to grow somewhat faster and will move from being 42.8% of the total market in 2010 to 44.8% of the total in 2014.
Five main countries account for the vast majority of the $7.9 B vaccine sales in European - that being Germany ($2.7 B), France, UK, Italy and Spain. The European market is supplied by five main companies: GSK, Sanofi Pasteur MSD, Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur, and Crucell. According to the article, these five account for a combined 82% market share in Europe.

SPOKANE The score was tied with less than 4 minutes to play. It looked to be another Tri-City-Spokane overtime thriller on the horizon until one loose puck changed the course of the game.
Blake Gal scored what would be the game winner with 3:29 remaining in regulation, and Mike Aviani added an insurance goal at 18:11 as the Chiefs beat the Americans 6-4 on Saturday night at Spokane Arena to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
We found a way to win, Spokane coach Don Nachbaur said. The first two periods, we felt comfortable with our game. We gave up what I thought were easy goals, but we could have easily had more goals at the other end. They hung in there 4-4 doesnt surprise me. They are a good team. Give them credit. They found a way to get back in the game, yet we found a way to win.
Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 5, will be played Tuesday, Thursday and next Saturday at Toyota Center. If needed, Game 6 would be April 2 in Spokane.
If the series stretches to Game 7, Spokane would host the final game April 3.
We know it wont be easy in Tri, Nachbaur said. You just have to look at the next one and put this one behind us. We need some adjustments in our game, and I think they will have some, too.
For Americans coach Jim Hiller, a split in Spokane would have been ideal. Now, his team must defend home ice.
We have to win Tuesday that much is clear, Hiller said. They have been close games, and it will be tight the rest of the way. We arent going anywhere.
Tri-City trailed 4-3 entering the third period, and while Lucas Nickles and Parker Bowles had quality chances early in the period, they could not get anything past Spokane goalie Eric Williams.
At 8:09, the Americans were awarded a power play, and they used it to their advantage. Malte Strömwall brought the puck in the zone and motored around the net, where he slipped the puck to Jesse Mychan, who was camped out near the left post. Mychan lifted the puck into the net at 8:41 to even the score at 4-4.
With time winding down and the puck being batted around in front of Americans goalie Troy Trombley, Dylan Walchuk finally got it and dished it off to Gal, who beat Trombley at 16:31.
Credit to Dylan Walchuk with the forecheck, said Gal, who played his 50th playoff game. I was fortunate to get the puck. It helps to have experience in the playoffs, but its going to be hard to play three down there.
Mychan said the Americans can ill afford those costly mistakes.
It was a misread in the defensive zone, he said. We need to pick a guy up in the slot when the puck is loose. Being down 2-0 means nothing to us. We need to bring it every night. We need to outwork them and get the bounces. We are going home, and we will get the support from our fans. We play them 12 times a year. We know what they do. It all comes down to details during the playoffs. Thats what will win the series.
As with every Tri-City-Spokane game, no lead is ever safe.
Trailing 3-2 after the first, the Chiefs netted a pair of goals in the second to take a 4-3 lead.
After Trombley stopped Mitch Holmberg, the puck was sent around the net, where Holmberg fed Gal out front for his second goal of the series at 4:11 at a 3-3 game.
With 6 minutes left in the second, Todd Fiddler intercepted a pass from Matthew Gelinas that was intended for Drydn Dow. Fiddler buried the puck in the net for a 4-3 lead.
The Americans had just four shots on goal in the second, with just one quality opportunity, but Williams robbed Bowles at 11:43.
After struggling to score Friday night in Game 1, the Americans were very proficient Saturday night, scoring three goals on four shots in the first period.
Playing 4-on-4, Dow gave the Americans a 1-0 lead at 5:24 with his first WHL playoff goal. Spokane answered with a pair of goals in 33 seconds.
On the first, the puck ricocheted off a skate and into the slot, where Liam Stewart whipped it into the net past Trombley at 6:59.
Tyler King put the Chiefs up 2-1 at 7:32, beating Trombley from the right circle.
Less than a minute later, Bowles knotted things up at 2-2, giving the Americans two goals on three shots.
Marcus Messier gave Tri-City a 3-2 lead at 10:51, picking up a rebound off a Lucas Nickles shot and lifting the puck into the net.
Trombley denied Holmberg with 42.3 seconds left in the period to preserve the lead. Trombley finished with 24 saves.
Notes: Justin Feser played his 60th career playoff game Saturday ranking him fourth all time. He is one game behind Mason Wilgosh and Tyler Schmidt, and five behind second-place Kruise Reddick (65). With an assist on Dows goal, Feser tied Daymond Langkow for fifth all-time with 30 playoff assists.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Police said a citizen's tip led to the arrest of a teenager accused of murder on Friday morning.
19-year-old Quincy Sharpe was taken into custody without incident at a Highway 70 South apartment.
Police said Sharpe was wanted in connection with the October 8, 2009 shooting death of Demetrius Riley on Richmond Hill Drive near Spears Road.
Work by cold case detectives led to the identification as Sharpe as one of two suspects. Sharpe was 17 at the time of the shooting so his charges will first be in Juvenile Court.
Police are still investigating, and said more arrests are expected.

Training and certifications
"Technical training is poker stakes. For career growth, success is about the ability to engage with business clients, consult, and fill the gap between 'what' and 'so what,'" says GlassHouse's Scannell. "You have to have the ability to draw conclusions; it's not about baselining or installation—it's about identifying possibilities."
|Vinny Choinski, backup practice manager at Daymark Solutions Inc., North Billerica, MA, has been in storage, in one way or another, since 1985. "It's a career that's sustained me
| and has longevity," he says. "No matter if you want to be director of IT, CIO or a subject-matter expert, for people who know what they're doing, there's always more work than bodies."
Choinski's electrical engineering degree led him to a career in satellite imaging, which "gobbles up storage. It sent me down this path, and as things started to convert to more open systems, I followed from there," he recalls.
As a VAR, "it's like starting a new job every day. You work with different clients week to week." While "it's not the right job for some people, it's a very dynamic environment with a lot of change for people who like that. You get exposed to a lot of different products and technologies at a fast pace," he says.
Certifications are becoming more stringent as vendors and industry groups like the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) push for meaningful measures of expertise. "Certifications are great to have if you're going to stay in the industry—it makes your experience and commitment clear for employers and interviewers," says Larry Roberts, owner of the Jobstore.com Web site. "Project management certification is on the Top 10 list. But as you move toward the business side, certifications become less important."
But Echaniz cautions that "people sometimes mistake certifications for expertise. We still view certifications as a demonstration of competence, not superiority."

Republicans in Cooperstown are still searching for a candidate to run for mayor. In the meantime, party members have selected Vince Casale, the chairman of the Otsego County Republican Party, as a placeholder candidate.
"It's pretty common," said Casale, on the decision to select a placeholder candidate for mayor, noting that the village Democrats initially nominated a placeholder last year, Richard Abbate, for a Board of Trustees seat.
That nomination was eventually given to Democrat Joan Nichols, who ran unopposed.
Cooperstown Republicans met in a sparsely attended caucus on Jan. 23, to select candidates for the upcoming village elections on March 18, where Mayor Jeff Katz, trustee Lou Allstadt and Deputy Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh, will be up for re-election. Katz and Tillapaugh are Democrats while Allstadt is an independent.
All three were re-nominated on Tuesday at the Democratic caucus held at the Village Fire Department. Allstadt is the only candidate to be cross-nominated this year.
The caucus opened with Lynn Krogh being nominated for and approved as caucus secretary. Village Republican chairman Mike Trosset then asked for any nominations for the position of mayor, but his request was followed by silence.
"I know we do have some individuals who may still be interested, and they couldn't make it tonight," said Casale.
Casale said that the party had an option to nominate a placeholder candidate while another candidate was sought. Trosset asked if anyone was interested in being a placeholder and Casale agreed to be nominated.
If another candidate is found, Casale said there would have to be a declination, after which the party's committee on vacancies would fill the seat. The deadline for finding a new candidate is Feb. 3.
Allstadt was nominated and approved unanimously. The caucus endorsed no candidate to run against Tillapaugh
"I'm an independent, I think it's important to have people that are willing to look at both sides of the issue," said Allstadt, who added that he that he appreciated the Republican endorsement.
In 2013, Allstadt won election to a one-year term to fill an unexpired vacancy. He was nominated by the Democrats. He had sought the Republican nomination as well, but failed to receive it because he arrived at their caucus too late.

Chunksaah RecordsOfficial Website: http://www.chunksaah.com/
Artists with releases on this label:
"the 10-year-old brainchild of The Bouncing Souls, who rather than give up on their dream decided on the "d.i.y." approach to the record industry. It quickly became a family affair; symbolically named after its benefactor Timmy Chunks (notorious for his Queens-aah accentahh) we knew the name was one that would leave a lasting impression, as well as represent the ties that started and have kept the label together. This d.i.y. approach to the record industry has been everything but glamorous. It involved learning and growing as a family in a familiar and ever changing scene. We have grown as a family remaining true to the original idea; a label free of industry jargon, lawyer-speak and pigeon-holing, but full of people who are willing to risk it all, work hard, and at the same time be treated equally, like family. We are simple folk trying to bring good music to good people in a tumultuous world." (from the label's website)

"Loose Change" is a YouTube movie about the circumstances surrounding 9/11, now in its third edition. The movie challenges the official facts of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, using mostly reported facts; news and audio footage, etc.
1. Watch one of the "Loose Change" movies on YouTube. We're up to "…Final Cut" now, succeeding "Loose Change", and "…Second Edition". Each has similar as well as unique information. They are about an hour and a half to two hours long; pretty rare for YouTube.
2. Understand that some of the connections the movie is leading you to might be hard to grasp the first time. Subsequent viewing, or watching another version, will sometimes clarify the points that you may have missed the first time, as the indictments come very quickly.
3. Recognize that "Loose Change" doesn't even attempt to answer many questions. However, it does pose important questions that any citizen may want answered.No tags for this post.

Small MPVs might not be the hottest commodities here in the United States, but these little functional wonders sell like hotcakes in other markets, especially Europe. To keep up with the growing segment, Toyota has given its Verso hatch a rather substantial makeover, and we'll see the all-new Verso-S debut at the Paris Motor Show in just a few weeks.
Upon its launch in the UK in early 2011, the Verso-S will be the shortest B-segment MPV in Europe – the car is less than four meters (157 inches) long. It's a sharp little hatch, too, looking like the lovechild of a Honda Fit and a Toyota iQ, the latter of which supplies many of the visual cues seen here on the new Verso-S.
Toyota is still keeping quiet about the full specifications, but expect the floodgates to open at the end of September closer to the little MPV's official debut. Read more in Toyota's press release, after the jump.

Toyota will signal its return to the mini-MPV segment at this year's Paris motor show with the world debut of the new Verso-S. It will also celebrate 10 years of full hybrid technology and look to its future development with Prius Plug-in Hybrid.
Introducing Verso-S
Toyota is set to re-enter the B-MPV segment with the Verso-S, an all-new model that will make its world debut at the Paris motor show, prior to anticipated launch in the UK early in 2011.
Small, spacious and smart, Verso-S is an object lesson in space management. Although it has the shortest overall length of any B-segment MPV in Europe - less than four metres - careful attention to detail and a practical, flexible interior design have maximised usable space, comfort and perceived quality.
Further details and specifications will be announced on the Paris motor show press day on 30 September.
Toyota leadership in full hybrid technology
Toyota is making its Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) technology the focus of its stand, reflecting the recent launch of the British-built Auris HSD – the first full hybrid in the C-segment – and European Prius sales passing the 200,000 mark.
The modularity of HSD makes it readily adaptable to make use of different power sources. This is reflected in Prius Plug-in Hybrid, 200 of which are now on the road around the world in selective lease programmes – including 20 in London – paving the way for being marketed globally in 2012.
Toyota's presentation at Paris will include the Hybrid Synergy Drive Gallery, an interactive exhibition which charts the company's drive towards sustainable mobility through its development of HSD for use in Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHV), Electric Vehicles (EV) and fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHV).
The future expansion of HSD technology into other market segments will be represented by the FT-CH Concept, which makes its European debut at the show, Toyota's first proposal for a full hybrid for the small compact car segment.
Upgrades for iQ and Aygo
Paris will also see the announcement of a new interior finish for iQ, increasing the level of perceived quality and introducing a new colour scheme, and a new, easy-to-use multimedia system for Aygo.
Toyota will host a press conference on its stand in Hall 4 of the show at 8.45am on Thursday, 30 September.

The Tribune-Star
Like much of Indiana, the majority white population in the Wabash Valley is on the decline, while minority populations are on the increase.
The U.S. Census Bureau recently released county-level data on the change in population by race and ethnicity.
In the six-county area of Clay, Greene, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo for 2010 through 2012, the overall population increased in only Vigo County, which saw a gain of 580 people overall. During that two-year period, however, the white population declined 73 people, while the black population grew 158, the Asian population grew 186 people and the Hispanic population grew 202 people. The number of people considering themselves biracial grew by 87.
That population shift is quite evident in the Vigo County Community Schools system, which must track the racial and ethnic diversity of the student body.
"I think that it's kind of a natural increase that we're seeing nationwide," said Ray Azar, director of student services, about the changing demographic. "We have more Hispanic and biracial children. And we do see a diverse background, especially with Indiana State University here and bringing in diversity. At last count, I think we had 54 languages represented in our schools."
School Superintendent Danny Tanoos notes that as diversity increases, the students are learning that their hometown is not isolated.
"Terre Haute really mirrors the country in many ways," Tanoos said, " and I think our students have to get used to being around all kinds of cultures and ethnicity."
In Clay, Greene, Parke, Sullivan and Vermillion counties, the total white population declined from 2010 to 2012. The black or African-American population grew in Clay, Greene, Parke, Vermillion and Vigo counties, but not in Sullivan County.
The Asian population grew in Clay, Greene, Sullivan and Vigo counties, but not in Parke and Vermillion counties.
The Hispanic population grew in Greene, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo counties, stayed the same in Parke County, and dropped in Clay County.
Major growth occurred in each county in the category of biracial and multiracial population.

Historic Building Preservation - Proposed Description of Work
April 2006 Rehabilitation Strategy at ~35% level
Construction of the Fulton Street Transit Center has the potential to affect several historic buildings in Lower Manharran. Most significant is the Corbin Building, an eight-story office building, designed by Francis H. Kimball in 1888-89 for Austin Corbin, a Long Island Rail Road president. The building features a brick, stone and terra cotta polychromy exterior, and its interior vaulted ceilings employ a Guastavino tile system. In 1889, the Corbin Building was reported to have been the tallest building in New York and its historic importance relates to its survival as an early skyscraper in New York, with both the interior and exterior generally intact.
The Corbin Building, listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places, is being integrated into the design of the FSTC in consultation with the SHPO and New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The ground floor and basement level of the Corbin Building will be used as an FSTC entry and passageway, which will provide an opportunity for tens of thousands of subway customers to enjoy this historic resource on a daily basis. In addition to the physical changes on the lower floors, structural and cosmetic improvements will be made throughout to restore this building to its former beauty. The historic fabric will be retained and matching materials and historic construction techniques and methods will be employed to the maximum extent practical.
Other historic structure affected by the project include:
- 135 William Street (between Fulton St and John St)
- 150 Fulton Street (between Broadway and Nassau St)
- 129 Fulton Street (at NE corner of Fulton St and Nassau St)
- 124 Fulton Street (at SE corner of Fulton St and Nassau St)
- 130 Fulton Street (at SW corner of Fulton St and Nassau St)
The design of the FSTC will be developed so as to avoid as much as practicable the introduction of visual elements that would diminish the integrity of the significant features of these buildings.
