Like a lot of people who spend way too much time prowling
the web I was shocked by this YouTube of folks coming out of a Palin
Rally convinced Obama was a terrorist. If that is the take away from a GOP rally
something is seriously wrong.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons not to vote for Obama
– enough so that I don't really have to list them here – but him being a "one
man terrorist cell" whose "name says it all" is not one of them.
In The Elements of Persuasion Bob and I say:
"Of course, not every story has a happy ending, and
there is a very real moral danger in creating villains… Story telling is innate
in human beings, but it is in some respects a value-free process. Fortunately,
there is a fail safe. Those stories that produce destructive and negative
actions tend to cannibalize the people who tell them. They rapidly eliminate
themselves from the cultural dialogue…"
But what do we do while we wait for the fever to run its
course? Listening to the wise words of our political elders seems a good place
to start.
This speech by Republican Jim Leach, formerly the
Representative from Iowa's 2nd District, fills the bill. It was
given at the Dem convention, and is an endorsement of Obama, but that isn't the
point. The point is that it is truly bipartisan.
What I really like about it is that it places the story of
this election cycle in the larger context of the Four Great Questions that have
been at the heart of every American election from our county's beginning and lists progressive
politicians from both parties who have helped our country move towards achieving our ideals. It would make the kernel for a great High School
History class discussion.
Sometimes the real gems from a political convention don't
standout until later. This speech is one of those. To find out more about Jim
Leach, click here.

MARATHON, Florida Keys — This week we were inundated with lots of small dolphin offshore, with a few bigger ones. Break out your ruler because most of them are close. One day there were decent schoolies from 6-9 pounds, real quality fish, but they weren't eating, and they wouldn't stay with the boat. The full moon has shorted the bite, but if you leave early the fish should cooperate till 10:00AM. As we get closer to the new moon the bite should lengthen and being overcast can help too. Makes it harder to see the fish, but they seem a little less timid in low light conditions.
Most of the fish have been congregating on the edge of the Gulf Stream and a few miles beyond. Most of the fish are under birds, but when looking for fish, try and find as few birds together as possible. This will indicate dolphin instead of skippies. My magic number is two to three birds for big fish, but five birds can be either schoolies or a bunch of big dolphin. You just never know what going to be under a huge flock of birds either, but in most cases they are skippies. If the skippies are small, you might find wahoo or marlin close by. When I fished in Costa Rica, I learned to troll around the birds and not through them to raise billfish. The billfish are looking for the few bait fish that get separated from the school, it seems that they can take them out easier one at a time than trying to slash into a ball of moving fish. I learned that one on the discovery channel.
The tuna have been biting pretty good on the live bait. Jigs seem to catch a few 10 pounders, but if you're looking for the big ones, you will need plenty of live pilchards. Getting the pilchards hasn't been hard if you venture out on the reef after dark. Anchoring anywhere from 18-40 feet of water after dark you can enjoy the great mangrove bite and load up on pilchards for the following day to the hump. If you anchor in 40 feet of water, the pilchards will be a little less dense, but the gogs are much thicker in this deeper water. By using the bigger sabiki rigs you can keep more gogs on the line without as many coming off. The sword fishing report was good, and my Buddy Capt. Brian caught a 350-pound mako with his clients.
You have to get out to the wrecks and catch some muttons! They are still biting ok. Many days I get six or so with all the amberjack action you could want. The muttons have been averaging about 12 pounds, with some into the 25-pound class. Live bait is where it's been at. Pinfish, cigars, grunts, and crabs have all been producing well. Dead bait which can work well when the fish are stacked up, it really hasn't been working for lately, but I always keep throwing some dead baits down because sometimes they will get lazy and catching a live bait just seems like too much effort sometimes. Split tailed baits or plugs will work, even strips of bonita are some of my favorite dead bottom baits.
I am headed to the Tortugas for a few days, and I will post again after I get back so check sometime after Tuesday. Have a great "Fourth" and don't forget that it is our military that we really need to thank so that we can go fishing. Remember that here in Marathon you don't have to drive home, call a cab and for a few bucks extra they will drive your car home for you.

A: How are you going to feel when your ex-girlfriend and current fuck-buddy finds a new boyfriend and ends your FWB arrangement? If you can honestly answer, "I'll be happy for her," then keep fucking — but don't forget to ask for your balls back when she dumps you that second time.
If you can't say that and you decide to keep fucking the ex anyway, CRAP, you wouldn't be the first lovesick dumpee who agreed to enter into an FWB arrangement with an ex.
If the short-term rewards (all that hot sex) and the potential long-term payoff (getting back together) make the risk seem worthwhile, then keep fucking.

Land sold off in last decade could grow enough food to feed a billion people
World Bank must freeze investments to protect poor people from land grabs
Land eight times the size of the UK was sold off globally in the last decade, enough to grow food for a billion people says international development agency Oxfam. This is the equivalent to the number of people who go hungry in the world todayIn its new report, Our Land, Our Lives, Oxfam warns that more than 60 per cent of investments in agricultural land by foreign investors between 2000 and 2010 were in developing countries with serious hunger problems. However, two thirds of those investors plan to export everything they produce on the land. Nearly 60 percent of global land deals in the past decade have been to grow crops that can be used for biofuels.
The report comes as Oxfam steps up its campaign to end land grabs that violate the rights of the world's poorest people. Oxfam supports greater investment in agriculture and to small-scale farmers. However the unprecedented rush for land has not been adequately regulated or policed to prevent land grabs. This means that poor people continue to be evicted, often violently, without consultation or compensation. Many lose their homes and are left destitute, without access to the land they rely on for food to eat and make a living.
In Liberia, 30 per cent of the country has been swallowed up by land deals in just five years. Already an area of land the size of London is being sold to foreign investors every six days in poor countries. Oxfam calculates that land deals tripled during the food price crisis in 2008 and 2009 because land was increasingly viewed as a profitable investment. With global food prices again hovering at record levels urgent action is needed to stop the threat of another wave of land grabs.
Oxfam says the World Bank must act now to temporarily freeze its agricultural investments in land so it can review its advice to developing countries, help set standards for investors and introduce more robust policies to stop land-grabs. The World Bank is in a unique position as both an investor in land and an adviser to developing countries. The Bank's investments in agriculture have increased by 200 per cent in the last 10 years, while its private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation, sets standards followed by many investors. The Bank's own research reveals that countries with the most large scale land deals are those with the poorest protection of people's land rights. And since 2008, 21 formal complaints have been brought by communities affected by Bank projects that they say have violated their land rights.
Jeremy Hobbs, Oxfam's Executive Director, said: "The world is facing an unbridled land rush that is exposing poor people to hunger, violence and the threat of a life-time in poverty. The World Bank is in a unique position to stop this from becoming one of the great scandals of the 21st century.
"By implementing a temporary freeze, and reviewing its approach, the Bank can set an example to all investors and governments that could help put a stop to these human rights abuses and ensure that investors genuinely help boost development in some of the poorest communities. Investment should be good news for developing countries – but it is important that it is truly beneficial and does not harm people or consign them to greater poverty, hunger and hardship."
Oxfam wants to see progress towards the freeze at the World Bank's first Annual Meeting since Jim Kim was installed as its new President, in Tokyo on 12-14 October. Putting a stop to its investments in the short term will give the Bank time to put its own house in order.
Specifically, Oxfam wants the World Bank's freeze to send a strong signal to global investors to stop land-grabbing and to improve standards for:
- Transparency – ensuring that information about land deals is publicly accessible for both affected communities and governments.
- Consultation and consent – ensuring communities are informed in advance, and can agree or refuse projects.
- Land rights and governance – strengthening poor people's rights to land and natural resources, especially women, through better land tenure governance as set out by the Committee for Food Security.
- Food security – ensuring that land investments do not undermine local and national food security.
Hobbs said: "The World Bank, with a remit to tackle global poverty, has a responsibility to help stop land grabs and must take urgent action because the rush for land is only likely to accelerate as competition for food and natural resources intensifies. It must ensure that poor people's rights are protected."
Act now to stop land grabs

Notes to Editors
- According to the International Land Coalition, 203 million hectares of land was acquired in major deals globally between 2000 and 2010.
- The same research shows that 106 million hectares of land in developing countries was acquired by foreign investors between 2000 and 2010.

Unity 3D has a very cool marketplace called the Asset Store. The Asset Store is sort of like an app store for Unity 3D assets. Basically, as a Unity 3D user, you can purchase assets that other people have made and use them in your game. This makes for quick and easy development of a game. However, what I want to focus on is the fact that YOU can sell your assets on the Unity Asset store and turn a profit.
Here at Studica, we focus primarily on education, which is why I feel this is good information to put out there. Let's face it, most students are broke. At the college level, many students can barely afford their tuition, let alone housing, food, gas, etc. This is why the Unity Asset store is important. The Unity Asset store allows you to sell your assets and retain 70% of the profits from each sale. This gives you a nice way to make some extra money on the side. What's awesome about this is you're just selling assets. You're not selling a full-fledged game; just assets. This means that you can make money pretty quickly because creating assets takes a lot less time than creating a video game from start to finish. Of course, one could argue otherwise, but 99% of the time; the previous statement is true.
Among the items available in the asset store are character models, props, materials and textures, landscape painting tools, game creating tools, audio effects and music, visual programming solutions, scripts and editor extensions as well as learning tools such as demos and tutorials.
The Unity Asset store can be easily accessed directly from Unity. Open the Unity Editor, go to "Windows" and click on "Asset Store" from the drop down menu. Here you can browse the asset store catalogue and see what other people are selling.
The asset store is one of the core features of Unity that sets it apart from other game engines. This sort of market creates a world of possibilities not only for developing games quickly and more efficiently but for encouraging the creation of high quality, user-generated content for the whole community.
So how do you sell your assets on the Unity Asset Store? Read this. Want to see more that the Unity Asset Store has to offer? Read these archives.

Reports: After 1 season, EMU basketball coach Rob Murphy leaving for position with Orlando Magic
Jeff Sainlar I AnnArbor.com
Rob Murphy's list of accomplishments in his first year as the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball coach was an impressive one.
There reportedly will be no second-year list.
According to multiple reports, Murphy has accepted a position with the Orlando Magic, leaving the Eagles without a coach just three months before the start of the 2012-13 season.
MLive.com sports reporter Graham Couch first reported Murphy's exodus early Tuesday, although other sources hinted afterward that the coach was still contemplating the offer.
An EMU spokesperson said Tuesday he could not confirm or deny the reports and Murphy could not be reached for comment.
Brian Schmitz, the Magic beat writer for the Orlando Sentinel, confirmed the report via Twitter just after 3 p.m., saying Murphy would join the NBA franchise's scouting department "barring (a) change of heart."
Murphy became just the fourth Mid-American Conference coach to lead his team to a division title in his first year as head coach. He was also named the MAC Coach of the Year after a 14-18 season ended with a first-round MAC Tournament loss to Northern Illinois.
After signing a contract worth $210,000 per year before incentives in April 2011, Murphy told a crowd assembled for his introductory press conference that the EMU position was "not a stepping stone" for him and that he "will not let you down."
Inheriting a program that had one winning season since 2000, Murphy started to lure transfers from major Division I programs to Ypsilanti.
Michigan native DaShonte Riley, a 7-footer who Murphy recruited to Syracuse, was the first to join the Eagles' program. Riley played half of last season. Murphy also signed 6-foot-7 Glenn Bryant from Arkansas and 6-foot-6 Daylen Harrison from Wyoming. They're both eligible to play in the 2012-13 season.
Last April, Mike Talley - a three-time Michigan Class C Player of the Year at Melvindale Academy of Business & Technology -- announced he was leaving Duquesne to join Murphy at EMU.
Jalen Ross, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Greensboro, N.C., is the only member of the Eagles' 2012 recruiting class, joining a roster that included just four seniors (Antonio Green, Quintin Dailey, Darrell Lampley and Kamil Janton) in 2011-12.
Murphy was named EMU's coach after serving as an assistant coach at Syracuse (2004-11) and Kent State (2002-04).


text: Campus NewsWestminster Named to Presidential Honor Roll For Community ServiceTweetWestminster students performed more than 45,000 community service hours SALT LAKE CITY – As colleges across the country honor their graduates this commencement season, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) recently honored the nation's leading institutions of higher education for their support of volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement. This year Westminster College was one of only three Utah institutions recognized on the Honor Roll with "Distinction." The others were BYU and Utah Valley University. "We are excited to be named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the fifth year, and the third year with distinction," said Julie Tille, Westminster's Center for Civic Engagement director. Throughout the 2009-10 academic year, Westminster students performed more than 45,000 hours of service to the community. From helping the homeless to teaching the elderly how to blog, the college's service projects focused on a variety of social issues. Some of the projects students participated in include high school math camps for English as a Second Language students, taught by Westminster math students; weekly lessons to girls in the juvenile justice system, taught by Westminster psychology students; and the creation of an instruction book for elderly seniors to teach them how to use social media and email, to name a just few. All of the college's clubs and organizations are required to complete at least one service project every year, and one whole day during First-Year Student Orientation is committed to community service. Additionally, hundreds of Westminster students provide service each semester. These activities are coordinated and supported by the college's Center for Civic Engagement. "Westminster's civic engagement efforts stretch from students first day on campus to well past graduation," added Tille. "We introduce students to the full range of civic engagement opportunities and build on each other, helping students grow into lives fully committed to learning and to engage in the challenges of community life. Westminster is dedicated to the service and service-learning work this honor reflects. It is wonderful to share this honor with our community partners who serve as co-educators for this work." A total of 851 institutions applied for the 2010 Honor Roll, and the CNCS honored a total of 641 colleges and universities for their impact on issues from literacy and neighborhood revitalization to supporting at-risk youth. The CNCS has administered the Honor Roll since 2006.

March 23, 2012
Florida Atlantic University is gearing up to put the new football stadium on its Boca Raton campus to greater use, but needs city permission first. FAU is asking the city to increase the number of ticketed events allowed at the venue, from the 15 a year in the current agreement to 26. It also wants no limit on ticketed events involving fewer than 5,000 people, and to allow events any day of the week. The City Council on Monday will discuss whether it's willing to renegotiate the agreement and any potential traffic concerns.
FAU lands another nationally televised game
June 12, 2013
Don't tell the FAU athletic department, but if you want to watch the FAU Owls play Marshall on October 12, you won't have to be in FAU Stadium. Conference USA released a new batch of televised games Wednesday, and FAU's matchup with Marshall was among them. The game will be broadcast on Fox College Sports, which might be hard to find on your cable box, but Conference USA has assured us that it does exist. FAU will now have six games televised this season, with more possibly to come.
FAU Owls could be moving to Conference USA
By Dieter Kurtenbach
November 28, 2012
Conference realignment is back, and this time around, the FAU Owls might be swooped up in the winds of change. The Big Ten Conference's shakeup of the college sports landscape has rippled through the NCAA, and it's nowhere close to being finished. While some conferences look to expand, others are plugging holes and trying to get ahead of the next poaching. It's safe to say that the piano is still playing in the musical chairs game between member institutions of the ACC, Big East and Conference-USA.
Santiago's homer gives FAU an improbable win over North Carolina
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
June 2, 2013
The FAU Owls waited seven innings to get a hit Sunday night, but it was worth the wait. Ricky Santiago's three-run homer broke up North Carolina's combined no-hitter with one out in the seventh inning, lifting the Owls to an improbable 3-2 win over the top-seeded Tar Heels in the NCAA Baseball Championship's Chapel Hill Regional. FAU's win forced a winner-take-all championship game, to be played Monday night at 6 p.m. North Carolina starter Hobbs Johnson pitched six-plus innings of no-hit ball against the Owls, but he wasn't on the mound for Santiago's homer.
FAU Owls are hoping for another finish like 2008
By Ted Hutton and South Florida Sun-Sentinel
October 30, 2009
Throughout the spring practice, the summer workouts and preseason camp, Florida Atlantic players kept saying they had learned their lesson. This season, they would not start out as they did in 2008, when they were picked to repeat as Sun Belt champions but staggered to a 1-5 start. But FAU could not walk the walk and began 0-4. That leads to the part of last season that FAU does want to repeat: the surge after the anemic start. FAU went 5-1 in its final six regular-season games in 2008, good enough to get an invitation to the Motor City Bowl, which the Owls won, salvaging a season that had been headed for disaster.
What now for Conference USA-bound FAU Owls?
By Dieter Kurtenbach
November 28, 2012
What is FAU getting itself into by joining Conference USA? Simply, a lot more than what the Owls were getting in the Sun Belt Conference. Money In conference realignment, it all comes down to money, and for FAU, there will be more in the new conference. Buyout: There is no buyout to leave the Sun Belt Conference, just a forfeiture of a year's worth of conference revenue - a figure that is believed to be less than $500,000. Payout: Conference USA pays between $2 and $3 million annually to teams.
UM Hurricanes, FAU Owls agree to three-game fooball series
By Steve Gorten and Ted Hutton and SunSentinel.com
April 21, 2012
The University of Miami has agreed to play a three-game football series with Florida Atlantic, both schools confirmed on Saturday. The Hurricanes and Owls will play at Sun Life Stadium, the Hurricanes' home field, on Aug. 31, 2013 in the season opener. They will play at FAU Stadium in 2015 and the 'Canes will host the Owls at Sun Life in 2016. Dates for the 2015 and 2016 games will be announced at a later date. The two schools, whose campuses are separated by a little more than 50 miles, have never played each other in football.
FAU Owls return to practice, preparing for rolling Warhawks
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
October 7, 2012
The FAU Owls returned to practice Sunday night with a longer-than-normal practice inside FAU Stadium. The Owls, sitting at the bottom of the Sun Belt Conference, will have a head-start against to Louisiana-Monroe, FAU's opponent next Saturday. FAU coach Carl Pelini balanced rest and practice during his team's off week. When the season started, ULM was expected to be with FAU at the bottom of the Sun Belt Conference standings at this juncture. Those predictions were unquestionably wrong.
FAU Owls not worried about Georgia's Sanford Stadium crowd
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
September 13, 2012
BOCA RATON — Georgia's Sanford Stadium has a capacity that's just shy of 93,000 people, and Carl Pelini and the FAU Owls can expect every possible seat outside of the field's hedges to be filled. Saturday's raucous atmosphere will be a different experience for the 2012 Owls, who have played their first two games in front of nearly-empty mid-sized stadiums. Even though the atmosphere will be different, Pelini isn't concerned about it overwhelming his team. "Maybe, pre-game," Pelini said.
FAU Owls routed by Middle Tennessee 67-54
By Ted Hutton, Sun Sentinel
January 14, 2012
It is still early in the conference schedule, but it seems certain there will be a new Sun Belt East Division champion at the end of the season. Middle Tennessee took a big step toward supplanting FAU at the top of the East when they throttled the defending champion Owls 67-54 Saturday at FAU Arena. It was the ninth straight win for the Blue Raiders, who are now 17-2 and 6-0 in the Sun Belt. "They just played better than we did tonight," said FAU guard Alex Tucker . FAU (6-12, 2-3)
Gameday: FAU-Canisius
By Dieter Kurtenbach | Sun Sentinel
June 1, 2013
It's win or go home for the FAU Owls as they head into their second game in the Chapel Hill, N.C. regional Saturday. The Owls' opponent in the elimination game, fourth-seeded Canisius, is equally desperate, and the Griffins' hard-fought loss to North Carolina Friday likely put to an end any concept that the Owls would be able to advance to Sunday games with ease. Devon Stewart (5-5, 4.98 ERA) will toe the rubber for the Griffs, while FAU will send Jake Meiers (6-3, 4.69 ERA)
FAU earns No. 2 seed in NCAA Regional
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
May 27, 2013
The FAU Owls knew that they were going to make the NCAA Tournament when they gathered at Duffy's in Boca Raton Monday to watch the tournament's selection show, but that didn't stop the winners of 11-straight games and the Sun Belt Conference Tournament from reacting with exuberance after they were named a No. 2 seed in the Chapel Hill, N.C. regional. The Owls will take on the tournament's top-seeded team, North Carolina, alongside Towson and Canisius, but they're heading into the stacked group with confidence - perhaps no team in the field of 64 is heading into a regional hotter than FAU. To advance to the next round, FAU will likely have to do something only two other teams have done this season - beat North Carolina twice in a weekend. The Owls saved their best baseball for the end of the year, winning the aforementioned 11-straight contests, the last four coming in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Louisiana-Lafayette, which the Owls won with a 16-run outburst Sunday.

FAU cracks Baseball America's Top 25 for first time since 2004
By Dieter Kurtenbach and Sun Sentinel
April 1, 2013
BOCA RATON - After a 4-0 week that ended in a sweep over No. 24 South Alabama, you'll have to refer to the FAU Owls as "nationally ranked. " FAU jumped into the No. 25 spot in the Baseball America poll this week. It's the first time since 2004 that the Owls ahve been ranked in the Baseball America Top 25. FAU started last week with an emphatic 6-1 win over Miami, then took South Alabama in three straight over the weekend to claim the top spot in the Sun Belt Conference. The South Alabama sweep was capped by a complete-game three-hitter from FAU starter Jeremy Strawn.
Upbeat Carl Pelini ready to push FAU Owls as spring practice opens
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
March 18, 2013
BOCA RATON — The evidence of the FAU football program's evolution in the past year was stretched across Carl Pelini's face as he walked off the field following the Owls' first spring practice Monday. A smile — the kind rarely seen during the Pelini's first year at FAU — was brilliantly flashing following the Owls' two-hour, pad-free workout at the Oxley Center. This time last year, Pelini wasn't smiling much. He was trying to adapt to his new role as a head coach, all while doing his best to create an atmosphere of discipline from scratch.
FAU baseball drops two of three to Alabama
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
February 24, 2013
BOCA RATON - After a promising 3-0 start to the season, the FAU Owls baseball team is 4-3 after losing two of three home games to Alabama this weekend. The Owls dropped Friday and Saturday contests by 5-2 and 4-2 scorelines, before a stellar outing from righty Jeremy Strawn righted the ship and led the Owls to a 3-0 Sunday win. Strawn threw 8 innings, allowed no runs on only four hits while striking out six to earn his first win of the season Sunday.
FAU Owls back to practice after bye week break
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
October 4, 2012
BOCA RATON — The first four days of FAU's mid-season bye week weren't used to lounge on the beach. The players bypassed margaritas for lifting sessions, while the coaches turned the two r's of rest and relaxation into one — recruiting. Four FAU coaches hit the trail for three days, with FAU coach Carl Pelini himself traveling to his old stomping grounds on the plains to offer Iowa Western QB Jake Waters . Upon returning to Boca Raton , Pelini put the Owls through a workout session that resembled a spring workout more than a game-preparation session.
FAU Owls still looking for go-to wide receiver
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
September 6, 2012
BOCA RATON — FAU is deep at the wide receiver position. Eight, nine, perhaps even 10 players could rotate into Saturday's matchup at Middle Tennessee State and it wouldn't change the Owl offense. Overall, the wide receiver position might be the deepest on a shallow FAU team. It doesn't seem like a problem, but it is. While the other FAU position coaches are having problems finding players to match the production of their starters, wide receivers coach Jeff Sims is having trouble finding top-flight college wide outs among his deep group.
FAU deserves share of blame in Keith Bryant fiasco
By Dieter Kurtenbach, Sun Sentinel
February 3, 2013
The public has spoken, and the people seem to have sided with the FAU coaching staff after they sent home Atlantic defensive tackle Keith Bryant from his official visit Saturday. But before we shut this story down, I have a question. Now, I was told that Bryant was dismissed from his official visit because he wasn't taking it seriously. My question: How seriously were the FAU coaches taking the visit? And more so: How seriously were FAU coaches taking Keith Bryant?
Owls had bumpy road
January 14, 2013
FAU Owls 2012 Record: 3-9 (2-6 Sun Belt) Returning offensive players: seven starters, 14 two-deep, 51 overall. Returning defensive players: eight starters, 16 two-deep, 39 overall. Returning special teams players: six starters, seven overall. What went right in 2012: Not a lot of teams can call a three-win season improvement, but Carl Pelini's first year as a head coach was just that. Senior quarterback Graham Wilbert had a legacy-saving season, throwing for 18 touchdowns and 234 yards per game...

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed new center Jordan Staal to a 10-year contract extension.
Hurricanes, Penguins rank first and second because of the Jordan Staal trade.
Within hours of becoming a married man, Jordan Staal was informed that he was officially divorced from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson says he's "not even close" to having to seek Nash's approval.

20-Year Sentence for Motorist Who Killed Mt. Arlington Cop
Michael Cassella of Howell pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.
A Monmouth County man was sentenced today to 20 years in prison for his role in the death of Mount Arlington police Officer Joseph Wargo. Michael Cassella, 32, of Howell was sentenced after pleading guilty Jan. 4 to one count each of aggravated manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, acting Morris Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp said. "This sentence is consistent with the plea agreement and the attendant law. Nothing will bring Officer Wargo back to his wife, his family, the community and his brothers in law enforcement. The defendant's drug addiction, while tragic, does not mitigate the seriousness of his crime. We mourn Joe Wargo's loss and hope his family has some degree of solace from the conclusion of this tragic case," Knapp said in …

A Big Win For State Taxpayers In The Mail-Order War
A U.S. Supreme Court non-decision this week will mean more than $10 million for
Connecticut's coffers right away, and beyond that it will embolden the state to go after a class of taxes that has been fuzzy but is growing clearer.
The issue is how and whether the state should collect sales taxes for goods ordered from out of state. It's worth tens of millions of dollars, perhaps hundreds of millions, and Connecticut is rightly becoming one of the more aggressive states in cracking down on this widespread abuse of commerce.
The case is Scholastic Book Clubs Inc. vs. the Connecticut Commissioner of Revenue Services, in which the Missouri-based company argued that the state's $3.3 million sales tax levy was improper.
All those books Scholastic sells to children through 14,000 Connecticut teachers amount to direct mail-order sales, the company argued. The teachers were, in effect, customers who earned points for buying books. That would mean the company is not obligated to collect the 6 percent sales tax, now 6.35 percent.
The state argued that the teachers were "representatives" of the company under a state law that requires any company with local agents or representatives to collect the tax.
To be clear, the issue here is not whether the books are subject to the state sales tax; they are. The question is whether the bookseller must collect the tax, or else the buyer of the book declares the purchase and pays the tax directly. Since no citizen other than Revenue Services Commissioner Kevin B. Sullivan himself ever makes such a voluntary declaration — okay, there are a few others — in effect, the argument is about whether there is a tax at all on these goods.
Judge Henry Cohn in Superior Court in New Britain, the same judge who last week ruled against the wind farm opponents in Colebrook, decided in favor of Scholastic. The state Supreme Court this past March reversed that decision, saying the teachers were indeed representatives of the company.
Justice Peter T. Zarella, writing the opinion: "Although
the teachers may be customers when they purchase
books from the plaintiff and participate in the bonus
point system to obtain additional materials, this should
not obscure the fact that their principal function is to
serve as the exclusive vehicle for selling the plaintiff's
products to their students."
Scholastic appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which on Tuesday declined to hear the case. That means Scholastic must now pay a total of $8.2 million — those interest and fee charges add up quickly — and Scholastic is now likely to be hit with a levy for all of its sales since May, 2005, the end date of the $3.3 million charge.
"You can certainly make the leap that they would have sales tax liability for those periods as well," said Louis Bucari, general counsel for the Department of
Revenue Services.
The issue doesn't end in Connecticut and it doesn't end with Scholastic. The company has appealed similar decisions in at least six states, Bucari said, and has won in some places.
Why did Connecticut win? The question is whether each company is "engaged in business" and has a "substantial nexus" in the state. That means they have "agents" or "canvassers" in the state, and Connecticut lawmakers, getting it right, added the word "representatives," which nailed the case.
"It's certainly a good decision that will be helpful to the department, and to taxpayers," Bucari said. "Now that we know that the department's interpretation is correct, the department would look to see if there are other businesses that have a similar model."
How many are out there? No one knows yet. Call Sullivan if you have a tip.
It's already been established that if a company has a store in the state, such as LL Bean, it must collect taxes on all of its mail-order business here. What states need to do is find new ways to expand the definition of "engaged in business" locally.
To that end, Connecticut was among the states that added language in 2011 to include owners of web sites that benefit from click-thoughs for product sales. That provision, the so-called Amazon tax, is wending its way through New York State courts, where Amazon is appealing.
Meanwhile, Amazon has severed ties with local web site owners, which is too bad. But it's the price that has to be paid in the long war to get online and mail-order sales properly taxed.
Even if you oppose higher taxes, you should favor aggressive moves like these. Low taxes are one thing, and an unfair system that penalizes local retailers is another.
Scholastic, for its part, could now go after each of you who bought books for your kids over the years, to charge the tax that it now must pay. But, Bucari said, "I don't think they could find you."
25 Responses to A Big Win For State Taxpayers In The Mail-Order War
Noteworthy says:
And how exactly is this good for our families? We will now pay more for the books the teachers buy for their children; and families will pay more for the books we buy through Scholastic. It's an assault on common sense to anybody other than Kevin "Tax You More" Sullivan and Dan "The Tax Man" Malloy. But hey, Connecticut is Still Revolutionary and we're still open for business! Whatever.
Ant says:
Now we will all pay 6.35% for our online shopping taking more money out of our pockets and then the democrats can say 'we are in favor of cutting middle class taxes!' When all there doing is creating another tax for everything we buy. Yay CT get that money! The well ain't dry yet I still have quarters in my pocket!
Bob Duguay says:
Right on I say. I'm a small Connecticut retailer who must collect tax on products but see savvy consumers go to the web, buy out of state, to avoid paying our sales tax. I, and my employees, want a level playing field. It is only fair.
Susan Hays says:
When will people realize that this is not a new tax? Just collection of a tax already owed by the purchaser. As Dan Haar rightly points out, if the sales tax is not collected by the seller, then the purshaser owes a use tax. And yes, I am one of the few who actually declares that on my tax return. CT loses somewhere between 40 and 60 million dollars a year from these unpaid taxes
Homer says:
Oh no. I think there is a typo in the headline. You need to remove the word taxpayers. State gets the money and taxpayers get incresed price tags.
pete says:
Dan Haar is soooooo clueless. CT won this case because the teachers were deemed to be "agents" of scholastic. If I buy over the "net" Mr. Haar and the company has no "nexus" that's a fancy tax word for presence in CT either with an employee or a location they DO NOT have to collect CT sales tax. You can keep dreaming. You're nothing but a tax and spend liberal like DANNY BOY and is DEMOCRATIC PARTY who raises taxes on the MIDDLE CLASS and gives 50% pay raises to lazy state cops and his cronies at the Community College Board.
Curt Hawkes says:
I think this is an excellent decision. All those children in poor families whose parents are lazy and don't work hard enough don't deserve books. Or an education.
Jimbo says:
Can you see that Dan, like other liberals, are giddy at the prospect of additional taxes that to urinate our money away on crony projects, bloated state workers, and the urban entitlement zones?
Work harder people- the liberals need more of our money for their insatiable spending appetite.
Dena Davis says:
Yeah, transportation to Head Start programs and therapy for children with disabilities is pissing your money away. Seriously?
Jimbo says:
To deny our out-of-control state and federal spending is to deny reality. Please seek help Dena.
Dan Haar says:
Guys, you're off-base on this one. I am very well aware that companies with no agents or other nexus (nexi?) in Connecticut do not have to collect the tax. That's the whole point of the column, to applaud the state for expanding the definition of nexus.
As for the tax itself, this column favors broadening the sources of tax revenue so the rest of us who are already here can pay lower taxes, all things being equal.
If your neighbor lies about where he keeps his car to get a lower tax rate and I praise the tax department for going after him, am I pro-tax? I don't think so.-
old capitalist says:
keep on broadening…companies keep on leaving. Say goodbye to Carter's in Shelton.
Another $10 million plus annual payroll leaving for Dixie.
Make all the excuses you like, Atlas will keep on shrugging. -
michael says:
Hey Dan, I make about 50K, between state income tax, sales tax, all those pesky hidden gross receipt taxes, fees, property tax and car tax, I pay about 17% of my income in state & local taxes, way over the U.S.A. average of 10%, according to the conservative leaning Tax Foundation. In Connecticut, the rich, the 1 percenters, if you please, pay more like 7% of their income in state & local taxes. The rich can lower there state income tax liability with passive income, which is far more valuable to them than not getting that puny property tax credit. With sales taxes being regressive, you used your influence to have a more regressive tax system on most of the Connecticut population. Considering that I have to make a greater tax effort to pay my taxes, versus the rich, should I feel guilty about getting out of paying a tax?
Guy says:
Speaking of which, shortly after college and living with a friend in his house in Manchester, town cops knocked on the door to inquire about my Delaware (cars are property tax free there) plates. I couldn't believe it. (The car was a piece of junk and would have gotten the town maybe 200 bucks a year).
But I respected it I guess. Turned out that I was heading south the next day and it didn't matter, but at least when I moved back I registered in CT.
old capitalist says:
"the rest of us who are already here can pay lower taxes"
? ? ?
Will this sales tax be paid by residents from the Republic of Chad?
Dave says:
I own retail stores in Connecticut, employ local people, pay Connecticut taxes and collect State Sales Tax. My mail-order competitors don't.
Try It says:
Why don't you try getting your "retail" stores online; then you will be able to compete with your mail-order competitors…
Try It says:
The location of customers is rapidly becoming irrelevant and armed with powerful computers/communicators in their hands, those customers want to use them to interact with product and service vendors. This creates huge opportunities for companies to develop new and more efficient ways to service their customers. At the end of last year, there were an estimated 6 billion mobile subscribers in the world. That's 87% of the world's population. According to researchers, smart phone shipments grew 58%, making up nearly a third of all mobile phones shipped last year. Additionally, mobile tablet sales are projected to double this year.
patrick says:
welcome to tax me any way i can that happens to be the constitution state of connecticut. on one side you have the dot union bleeding the state for 20 years on every employee and then we carry them til they die. welcome to one side sex act ~! this state is ruined by unions. no amount of tax will save it . oh wait~!! i know~!! include a BS tax to any one who is associated with DC . then you will get rid of the federal deficit problem solved (eye roll)
Fred says:
O come on people….get over it. If u don't know already that we're all slaves than u better get your heads out of the sand. Before u know it….when u leave your home to go to the movies,or dinner or a pop and paper and r stopped at a checkpoint and asked to show your papers and they find out u didn't pay your taxes on something. Shame on u slave. Be ready to be arrested and moved to a FEMA camp out in Montana so the powers to be can keep a better eye on u ……………SLAVE. Tax on free speech will be next. O wait a minute…..we don't live in a free country and more. This slave is forget full at times. Where's that pile of sand?
Ray says:
So we are left to believe that state sales tax will go down because the state is now collecting this money? Sure, right after the earth smashes into the sun. Dan haar is an idiot if that was the "angle" in his title, and he believes it.
Dr. Aki Bola, Esq. says:
Oh good, extra costs and tax increases for the citizens. Now if I go to Best Buy down the road, there are mall cops and fire and ambulance and other services which have to be paid for. If I order an oil filter from Wisconsin, why am I paying local taxes here? UPS pays enough to the state already for registering trucks and buying fuel and worker income taxes.
Just say No to these greedy politicians, who have not displayed any ability to wisely spend our money.
Dena Davis says:
I am a small bookseller providing book fairs to local schools. I charge my customers sales tax and ALSO pay use tax on all books donated to the schools and organizations I work with. Is Scholastic required to pay this use tax to states? Are they paying income tax to each state not only on their book order forms sent to families every month but also for sales at their book fairs, which are most often run by PTA groups?
senior citizen of CT says:
Ct has been ne sided: with its politicians and BS campaign promises, union strangle hold to such a point that to debate it is boarding on futile.
Until we get a more equitable division of state Gov, "doing" for the people and not running amuck with the funds collected for self indulgence and shoving their bills down the throats of the minority, there will not be a 'balanced' gov for the citizens;

This section requires expansion with: issue as it relates to nations and economies around the world and how it affects underemployment in the Western world. (September 2011) |
A part-time job is a form of employment that carries fewer hours per week than a full-time job. Workers are considered to be part-time if they commonly work fewer than 30 or 35 hours per week.[1] According to the International Labour Organization, the number of part-time workers has increased from one-fourth to a half in the past 20 years in most developed countries, excluding the United States.[1] There are many reasons for working part-time, including the desire to do so, having one's hours cut back by an employer and being unable to find a full-time job. The International Labour Organisation Convention 175 requires that part-time workers be treated no less favourably than full-time workers.[2]
"Part-time" can also be used in reference to a student (usually in higher education) who takes only a few courses, rather than a full load of coursework each semester.
Contents |
By country [edit]
Australia [edit]
Part-time employment in Australia involves a comprehensive framework. Part-time employees work less hours than their full-time counterparts within a specific industry, this can vary but is generally less than 16 hours per week.
Part-time employees within Australia are legally entitled to paid annual leave, sick leave, and having maternity leave etc. except it is covered on a 'pro-rata' (percentage) basis depending on the hours worked each week.
Furthermore, as a part-time employee is guaranteed a regular roster within a workplace, they are given an annular salary paid each week, fortnight or month. Employers within Australia are obliged to provide minimum notice requirements for termination, redundancy and change of rostered hours in relation to part-time workers [2].
As of January 2010, the number of part-time workers within Australia is approximately 3.3 million out of the 10.9 million individuals within the Australian workforce [3].
Canada [edit]
In Canada, part-time workers are those who usually work fewer than 30 hours per week at their main or only job.[3] In 2007, just over 1 in every 10 employees aged 25 to 54 worked part-time. A person who has a part-time placement is often contracted to a company or business in which they have a set of terms they agree with. 'Part-time' can also be used in reference to a student(usually in higher education) who works only few hours a day. Usually students from different nations (India, China, Mexico etc.) prefer Canada for their higher studies due to the availability of more part-time jobs.[citation needed]
United Kingdom [edit]
Part-time workers in the United Kingdom are protected by legislation that states they should be treated no less favourably than full-time equivalent colleagues.Also they have to be at least 13.[4]
United States [edit]
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, working part-time is defined as working between 1 and 35 hours per week.[5] In 2007, 18.3 million Americans worked part-time. [6]
Typically, part-time employees in the United States are not entitled to employee benefits, such as health insurance.
Asia [edit]
Arubaito (JPN:アルバイト ) or Arbait (KOR: 아르바이트) is a common term used in East Asia to refer to a part-time job. The word is a transliteration of the German noun "Arbeit" (work).

Colonel Kaufman looked down at the prone form of Jack Memphis and laughed, his gaunt visage appearing more skull-like than ever. "You can do nothing to stop us.

Jack awoke to the cold shock of water on his face. His head spun as if he'd just had a night on the town and his vision was blurry. The raucous sounds of the Amazonian jungle were oddly muffled, but audible. He briefly took comfort in the fact that his ears were at least working properly - until he actually started to listen to what he was hearing.

In a world where people are so accustomed to typing, computers, and immediacy, it's nice to put that human touch back into things. For me, beautiful stationery and hand written letters are a sure fire way to brighten someone's day. There's something therapeutic about writing and drawing.
Kokolores is my first stop for finding small gifts, paper crafts, wrapping paper, cards, and pretty packaging supplies. I love this tiny shop. They constantly have a changing inventory of interesting products from all over the world, including: Japan, Nepal, Paris, and the United States to name a few. It's very much a shop of curiosities.
The lanterns, pennant flags, magnets, and letterpress stationery seem to reflect simpler times and provide a bit of whimsical happiness. I should mention that the area around this shop is also quite charming and often makes me feel as though I am on a movie set.
If you decide to stop by I recommend taking a stroll down the nearby Preysingstrasse, which provides an incredible glimpse into what yesteryear Munich once looked like complete with cobble streets and tiny little houses.

New Freighthouse store caters to local goods
For Debbie Hills of Lakewood, this is a chance to expand her market, develop a retail presence and find new customers for her necklaces, bracelets, earrings and such.
"I'm looking for another option," she said recently.
She otherwise works as a hairdresser, and this is option beyond selling to friends and customers. "I think it's going to be very exciting," she said. "If I could make this a full-time business, that would be great. Everything I've sold, people have liked it."
Before hearing about Pip & Lola's Everything Homemade, she had never been to Freighthouse Square.
Allegra Wilson of Puyallup will be offering barbecue sauce and a special rub. She already sells her sauces and rubs at a few specialty markets in the South Sound, and now she's ready for another retail store.
"This is awesome," she said.
Like Debbie Hills with her jewelry, Wilson has found a new venue at Pip & Lola's.
Thanks to Samantha Camp.
Along with foodstuffs and jewelry, Camp's new store at the Dome District Freighthouse Square shopping center will offer a variety of goods produced in and around Pierce County – all homemade and hand-crafted – goods including clothing, framed art, glass art, metalwork, pottery, flutes, yarn, handbags, shadowboxes, accessories, cosmetics and, because this is how it all started, soap.
Lots of soap.
That's Camp's forte.
She lives in Fircrest and Pip is her son Perrin, 4; and Lola, short for Lorelai, is her daughter, 6.
"The name just flowed so nicely," she said.
When younger, Pip had topical allergies, Camp said, and so she started making soap.
Lots of soap, using palm oil, castor oil, olive oil and a dozen or so other oils. Add other ingredients, many other, all-natural ingredients.
She makes maybe 70 varieties of soap, she said.
Including soap for dogs. The soap for dogs offers a different pH balance than soap for humans, because, Camp said, "Dogs are more alkaline than people are."
The dog soap might include citronella, lavender or eucalyptus.
Some of her soap is theater-themed. Camp is an actress, and, for instance, her Sweeney Todd ("The demon barber of Fleet Street") variety is a shaved soap that includes bay, as mentioned in the play.
Camp first sold her soap online and at flea markets. She manufacturers about 1,000 bars a month, she said. All are vegetarian, and along with the oils might include such ingredients as oats, honey, goat's milk, spearmint, peppermint, cinnamon, coffee, paprika, even chocolate.
All soaps, she said, "are Pip- tested and Lola-approved."
The soaps have names including "Himalayan Pink Salt," "Porter Beer," "Kali's Conundrum" and "Philip, the Queen's Rogue."
Camp is also a real estate agent.
And now she is a shopkeeper.
She and her partner were looking for a storefront and happened upon Freighthouse Square.
"I love this building," she said.
Originally, it was just going to be soaps. Then one day she went home and posted a question on Facebook. What would people be interested in buying, what handicrafts, besides soap?
"In an hour I had 20 responses," she said.
People wrote to tell her what they made, and that they'd like an outlet where they could sell their wares.
She had thought about opening in a single space. Now she has two, side-by-side.
She charges local artisans a 30 percent commission, she said, or else they can work that down by helping to staff the store.
Along with paying Freighthouse management, she figures she has spent about $100 in reclaimed fixtures and furniture, some of which has been donated by friends.
Now in a period of soft opening, she expects to celebrate a grand opening the week of Aug. 1.
Coming back to life
Since falling into receivership last year, Freighthouse Square has experienced something of a renaissance, said onsite manager Lonee Peschon.
"I believe we've signed almost two dozen tenants in the last four months," she said Thursday.
Along with Pip & Lola's, new stores and businesses include those selling pet supplies, ladies' clothing and gifts, used and discount books, antiques, electronics and metal jewelry.
Other tenants include a new restaurant, Boxcar Grill; a grocery; and the National Historical Railway Society. firstname.lastname@example.com 253-597-8535 For more information, visit

Mayor Robertson escaped riot unscathed 0
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and his council colleagues mark a special anniversary Friday at City Hall. But don't expect to see colourful balloons or fanfare anytime soon. That's because there are few civic politicians who want to talk about the events that led to last year's Stanley Cup riot.
The genesis of Vancouver's billion dollar public relations black eye can be traced back directly to Robertson. It was the mayor who personally directed city hall staff to set up special downtown fan zones complete with big screen televisions.
By Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, it was estimated the massive party on Georgia Street had swelled to more than 150,000 people. A large number of people were under 30 years old, drunk, and keen on some sort of public demonstration.
In the hours that followed the Canucks loss, the same people invited downtown for a big street party were now turning the city upside down. They burned, looted and vandalized their way onto almost every major newscast around the world.
In response, the Vancouver Police Department assigned over 70 officers to work full time on these cases. At a news conference, Chief Jim Chu told the media that so far police have recommended 674 charges against 225 suspects. In total, he anticipates 300 arrests will be made with over 900 criminal charges laid. "We believe this is the greatest number of people charged with a crime arising from one incident in Canadian history," said Chu.
When added up, Robertson's downtown party plans have cost B.C. and Vancouver taxpayers dearly.
In addition to the $2 million spent hosting the party, the city subsequently spent $7 million on police salaries plus an additional $2 million in related costs. Losses to individual victims, businesses and various government agencies total $3.7 million. As far as the provincial court system goes, the final bill has yet to be tallied - but it will likely be seven figures.
While the public purse has clearly taken a hit, there appears to be no political cost associated with the riot. Robertson and his team skillfully managed to ensure their fingerprints were nowhere to be found at the scene. In fact, Vancouver's electorate actually rewarded them with an even larger majority.
I have no doubt that Vancouver's 2011 Stanley Cup riot will serve as a case study on how a politician can cause an unimaginable mess, and get away without a scratch.

D 935 - 49 Standard Method of Corrosivity Test of Industrial Water (NDHA Method) Pages: 4 Published: Jan 1960
Download this paper for $25
View License Agreement This method covers a procedure, known as the NDHA method, for studying the corrosivity of waters. It is particularly applicable to waters relatively free of suspended materials at temperatures below 200 C and at flow rates below 5 ft per sec, and has had extensive use for determining corrosion by steam condensate. N 1.—This method conforms to the general requirements for conducting plant tests given in the Recommended Practice for Conducting Plant Corrosion Tests (ASTM Designation: A 224). N 2.—The prime purpose of the test is to investigate the corrosive characteristics of waters in the equipment in which the test is made. It may fail to indicate the corrosive characteristics of the same water in different equipment. Results may be used also to indicate the ability of the materials tested to withstand corrosion by the water. |

The grim illusions of a man's dreaming nightmare cause him trouble and suffering so long as he accepts them as real. If he arouses himself and awakes, they are seen for the hallucinations they are. The disciple's long-drawn endeavours at self-arousal throughout the quest meet with success when he knows and feels that waking life itself is like a dream, is after all only a thought that is taken up again and again.

Fotokey looks like a car key door lock and it is nice to display as you walk to you car in a parking lot around others.Makes you feel safe. I like showing my family and friends pictures off and this is great for it as they are so clear and right at your finger tips. Don't have to carry all those pictures in my wallett any more.
