Ald. Burke could give up bodyguards, or have them yanked
BY FRAN SPIELMAN AND LISA DONOVAN Staff Reporters June 30, 2011 10:04PM
Ald. Ed Burke (14th) | Sun-Times file photo
Alde. Edward M. Burke's bodyguard protection has already gone on longer than the security that former U.S. presidents enjoy. In 1997, Congress approved legislation that limits Secret Service protection for former presidents to 10 years after leaving office.
Here's the security provided some other elected officials:
◆ Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has about 17 police officer bodyguards — compared with the 22 Mayor Daley had in office.
◆ After leaving office, Daley was assigned five officers who will guard him for an unspecified period of time.
◆ City Treasurer Stephanie Neely has a police security detail.
◆ Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has three police bodyguards.
Updated: October 27, 2011 12:29AM
The bodyguard saga of Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th) appears to be coming to an end — one way or another. Either Mayor Rahm Emanuel will follow through on a campaign threat and strip Burke of the four Chicago Police officers who have chauffeured and protected the alderman for nearly three decades — or, at the very least, cut the bodyguard detail in half. Or Burke will bow to public and media pressure, voluntarily relinquishing the officers and dip into his $8 million campaign warchest for private security guards if he still feels vulnerable. One of those scenarios will most likely play out in the coming days or weeks, Burke's City Council colleagues and others in City Hall predict. Fellow aldermen, who did not want to be named, expect Burke to give the bodyguards up to avoid the humiliation of having the detail stripped away. Burke was out of town and unavailable for comment this week. His spokesman also could not be reached. The city's most powerful alderman's bodyguard detail dates back to Burke's role as a political lightning rod who marshaled opposition to Mayor Harold Washington during the 1980s Council Wars. In 1986, Chicago police informed Burke his security detail would be reduced from four police officers to two, as the number of reported "incidents" — including threats — involving the aldermen plummeted. In response, Burke sued the mayor, police superintendent and the city to keep the four-member detail. Cook County Circuit Court records on the suit, long-mothballed in a county warehouse, were released this week and provide a window into the volatile political climate at City Hall and, his attorney argued, the need for police protection. "A highly inflammatory, controversial, political climate exists in Chicago as a result of differences between a faction of the Chicago City Council, including plaintiff, and the Mayor of the City of Chicago over municipal issues and policies, and over measures to be taken which will best serve the interests of the public," Burke's attorney wrote in the decades- old legal papers. "The mass media have given enormous public coverage to these differences. Large numbers of irrational, unbalanced persons have become excited and aroused by the controversy, have communicated threats, and present an immediate, present danger of physical harm to public officials involved in said controversy," Burke's attorney wrote. But attorneys for the city fired back arguing that threats against the alderman had fallen off between the time he had been assigned officers in 1983 and 1986, according to court papers. In 1983, there were 29 "case reports," a year later there were 18, in 1985 just one and in 1986 three, attorneys for the city stated in court records. The records also reveal that in 1986, Burke had five police bodyguards, but that number fell to four with no other explanation given than that one officer returned to regular police duty. Ultimately, a judge sided with Burke and ordered that he keep his four bodyguards. But a "stipulation" signed by Burke's and one of the city's attorneys — allows for a periodic review of the detail by the sitting mayor. Emanuel was asked about Burke's bodyguards again Thursday during an hour-long town hall meeting broadcast live on Facebook. "Wow, these [questions] are great," Emanuel said facetiously with a laugh. The mayor then talked once again about the 650 police officers who had been reassigned to police districts since he took office. "I'm gonna deal with the four officers related to Ald. Burke. That's an issue — and I have the police superintendent and the [corporation] counsel's office looking at it … I have the right people dealing with the four officers. I will await their recommendations, then deal with it appropriately," he said. "But, I will not take my eye off of what, I think, people need people to focus on. We're gonna get to it. But, those four officers don't get ahead of what's going on in Englewood. Those four officers don't get ahead of what goes on for the kids on Woodlawn. ... I have that laser-like capacity." At the time of the 1986 court order, Judge Joseph Wosik upheld Burke's argument that he was a high-profile figure subject to periodic threats and that a reduction in the number of bodyguards would have stifled his opposition to Washington. But, the alderman has not functioned in that controversial role since Washington's death in 1987. In fact, he's spent the last 24 years trying to repair his image and make voters forget. Judson H. Miner, city attorney under Washington, said that beyond the Washington administration there wasn't an automatic expectation that Burke would receive taxpayer-funded security in perpetuity. "It's on the books, yes, but somebody's got to take some steps to deal with this," Miner told the Sun-Times. "Does Burke think he needs them? He has to answer that. It can't be 'because Judge Wosik said I need them.' That's just goofy," he said of the late judge who presided over the case. "If he does, then you need to decide what the need is." "The question is, is there serious evidence it's necessary? And in a city as big as Chicago I would think that additional police officers engaged in police activity is more valuable to the city than guarding Ed Burke, but that's a decision for the city to make." The Burke bodyguard controversy comes up periodically as critics question whether it makes sense to tie up four full-time police officers — at a cost of nearly $500,000-a-year including salary and benefits — to watch one alderman while the other 49 fend for themselves. Mayor Richard M. Daley maintained the detail as part of an unspoken political deal reached in 1989 that called for Burke to drop out of the mayor's race and endorse Daley in exchange for being restored to the role of Finance Committee Chairman he held during Council Wars. With the title came the bodyguards and city sedan. Every Finance Committee Chairman since the 1940's has enjoyed those perks. Emanuel had no such deal. In fact, he blamed Burke for laying the groundwork for the residency challenge that nearly knocked the former White House chief-of-staff off the ballot earlier this year. During a campaign debate, Emanuel rocked the boat with a pre-election threat to re-organize the City Council — and strip Burke of his police bodyguards and, possibly his chairmanship. "There will be shared sacrifice, including for Ed Burke and all the City Council. If Ed Burke has six police officers, that just can't continue," Emanuel said then. But, after a peacemaking session brokered and hosted by Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), Emanuel's City Council floor leader, Emanuel ultimately decided to retain Burke as Finance Committee Chairman and, at least initially, retained the bodyguard detail. Newly-appointed Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy told reporters his hands were tied when it comes to Burke because of the court order. That allowed Burke to strike a defiant tone. He argued that "a court order is a court order" and signaled that he was not about to voluntarily relinquish the detail, regardless of the two-year hiring slowdown that has left the Chicago Police Department 2,300 officers-a-day short of authorized strength. But, that was before the court file showed that the court order is subject to periodic review by the mayor. In other words, Emanuel is free to change it. When Burke learned that, he told WLS-TV that it may be time to take another look. Although Burke is popular among his colleagues — and feared for the power he wields, the warchest he controls and the dossier he keeps — his bodyguard contingent has long been a source of contention among aldermen. Aldermen privately joke about the bodyguards running errands for Burke and serving as his family chauffeur and valet. They also wonder aloud why the bodyguards accompany the alderman when he goes to his Wisconsin summer home. "If threats are the issue, I've got a file of threats an inch thick. Every alderman does because of the decisions we have to make. None of us have bodyguards," said one alderman, who asked to remain anonymous. Even if it ends soon, Burke's bodyguard contingent has already gone on longer than the protection that former U.S. presidents enjoy. In 1997, Congress approved legislation that limits Secret Service protection for former presidents for ten years after leaving office. The law does not apply to former presidents who were in office before Jan. 1, 1997. They retain lifetime protection. Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton are the only living presidents who fall under that grandfather clause.

Honda rolls out the Urban SUV Concept Video
Honda rolls out the Urban SUV Concept Video Transcript
-I'm Wayne Cunningham here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show where Honda has just announced their Urban SUV Concept. This new car would be a complete new car in their line-up when it goes in production in 2014. It's a small SUV which fits under the CR-V. It's actually 9-inches shorter than the CR-V. In some ways, it's kind of like a Honda Fit on steroids. It's actually got the same kind of Magic Seats as the Honda Fit so it's got a very versatile interior. Normally, you have a seating for five, but then the rear seats fold up and out of the way so you can have like a lot of cargo area. And with this higher roofline than the Fit, you'll probably get a lot of stuff back there. Now since this is a concept vehicle, Honda didn't really offer much in the way of engine specs or much about what's going on underneath this car inside. But they did say it's going to have their new Earth Dreams Technology engines which usually means direct injection and basic diesel in some markets although not necessarily in the U.S. and also possibly a hybrid engine. And also, no word on whether this will have an all-wheel drive or just strictly a front-wheel drive version. And for now, it is only a concept car so we definitely see some concept car cues around here like it's got those LED headlights and some great features that probably won't make it to production. Now, these compact SUVs are becoming very popular these days. Now, these compact SUVs are becoming really popular right now. And with this coming out in 2014, Honda is probably hitting the market about the right time. I'm Wayne Cunningham here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.

Dude i keep my meds in small mason jars inside one of those things that keep your sodas or beer cold not an igloo but it keeps my meds at a cooler temp.
See that's the thing. I came looking here because I stumbled upon some really top shelf stuff. I have two pretty awesome strains coming to me today and normally, I just throw my stuff in a ziploc and let it sit in the shoebox with my papers and grinder and stuff. But this is like the gourmet action and I kinda don't want to smoke it all at once, but I want to save it and keep it nice and fresh and yummy and not let it dry out too bad. I don't really want to pick up one of those glass jar dealies just for two bags. I also smoke cigars so I know all about humidity control and everything... like, what do you suggest for a just for a little while kind of thing. I was thinking Tupperware with a damp paper towel in it, since thats what you do for cigars as a makeshift humidor. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Suggestions?
I'm thinking that the damp paper towel isn't such a good idea. Mold is a concern for me with that method.
So it's been 12 days since I found that 2 grams of NL and I toked about half of it. I just took a hit. It's still pretty smooth smoke.

Comments about ALPINE DESIGN Queen Airbed with Air Pump:
Bought this for a weekend use. When I inflated the product we noticed that it didn't seem to be a queen, luckily someone else had a full size air mattress and we placed them on top of each other THIS ONE WAS SMALLER. So not only was it not a queen size, it was not even a full sized mattress. We even took out a tape measure and it was a full 3 inches smaller by width and length. Also the product doesn't seem to hold air well. Returning this product today

Comments about ALPINE DESIGN Queen Airbed with Air Pump:
I have gone through three of the Alpine Design Queen mattresses in the last few months. Every single mattress seems to break at the seems after just a couple uses. This last one I just bought, I literally used for one night, and it couldn't even last thru the entire night. I inflated it about 3:00 pm and by 2:00 am I was laying flat on the ground. WORTHLESS.
If it was allowed, I would give NO STARS to the product, but at least one is required.
I would not recommend this brand unless you are really in a bind for a mattress and it's your last resort.

Minneapolis writer's secret: Tap inner 11-year-old
Saturday - 11/17/2012, 3:47am  ET
By PATRICK CONDON
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Barely known in a literary field dominated by brand names like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games," William Alexander scored the National Book Award for Young People's Literature by tapping into his burning love for books when he was 11 years old.
"Of course I still love books, I adore books. But not with the same intensity, the same need," Alexander said Friday, a day after returning home to Minneapolis from the New York City awards ceremony where he scored a major coup for a first-time novelist. "To try and have that level of impact on a new batch of 11-year-olds is ridiculously arrogant. But you've got to try. You've got to aim for that."
With his novel "Goblin Secrets," Alexander seems to have hit the mark. Set in a strange fantasy world populated by witches, masked actors, people with gears for body parts, and _ yes _ goblins, the book won over the five judges on the Young People's Literature panel who bestow one of U.S. literature's most important awards.
"You want to find a book that people will still be reading in 50 years, that's going to be an enduring book," said Gary Schmidt, the Calvin College professor and children's author who chaired the panel. "That's the case with this one _ you just keep getting blown away by what he's doing, and then you get to the end and he brings it all together in a way that's simply stunning."
Alexander, 36, teaches creative writing at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Prior to the release of "Goblin Secrets" last March, he had only published a handful of short stories in mostly obscure literary journals. He was one of two Minneapolis writers to win a National Book Award last week; Louise Erdrich, long acclaimed for her novels of the American Indian experience, won the General Fiction award for her latest, "Round House."
A slight but energetic man with dark hair and a trim beard, Alexander walks with a cane due to chronic back problems. A theater actor in college who also studied folklore, Alexander crafted a novel that tells the tale of Rownie, an orphan boy who falls in with a troupe of goblin actors; together, they embark on a search for his long-lost biological brother.
"In a way it's very much a classic story of a child trying to find a family," said Liz Burns, a New Jersey regional librarian who reviewed the book for the School Library Journal. "But then he also pulls off this amazing feat of world-building, creating this entire mythology from scratch. It creates a unique place for a child to fall into."
Burns said the best audience for the book is kids ages 8 to 12. She compared it to C.S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" series and the first couple of "Harry Potter" books. Schmidt likened it to Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" and its sequels. Alexander said he hoped it would find adult readers too, particularly parents whom he urged to read it out loud to their kids.
Reviewers have also praised the book for its swiftness in a fantasy genre that often bogs down in lengthy exposition and explanation. "It moves fast, and it leaves a lot to your imagination," said Christine Irvin, an Ohio-based reviewer for the website TeenReads.com.
Alexander was born in Miami but grew up mostly in the Philadelphia area. The son of a Cuban father, he said an inherited sense of machismo pushed him into acting as a young man: "There's this horrible impulse to do things that terrify you. I was extremely shy, so I took to the stage," he said. Though he quickly came to love it, Alexander's back problems made acting increasingly difficult. He finally had surgery in 2001 to repair a double lumbar fusion.
"I think I'm technically a cyborg. There's a lot of titanium holding my spine together," Alexander said. It's a quality shared by inhabitants of his mythical city of Zombay, many of whom have missing body parts replaced by machinery. Graba, a witch who supervises Rownie at the book's start, has giant metal chicken legs; a police official has creepy glass eyes with tiny gears in place of irises.
Even when he still acted, Alexander started to realize he was interested in more than just his lines. "I was more interested in the whole story, the whole play," he said. In his writing process, he always begins with dialogue first before turning to character and motivation.

Miley Cyrus this week becomes the second-youngest artist ever to amass two #1 albums on the Billboard chart. The 15-year old star tops the chart with Breakout, her first album released strictly under her own name. Cyrus also rang the bell last year with the two-CD set, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus. (I'm not counting the first Hannah Montana soundtrack toward her total, because Cyrus didn't yet have star billing.)
Cyrus is only the fifth performer to land two #1 albums as a teenager. She follows LeAnn Rimes, who was also 15 when she landed her second #1 album; Hilary Duff and Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block, who were both 17; and Britney Spears, who was 18. (To break the tie between Rimes and Cyrus, we have to count months. Rimes was just 15 and one month when she landed her second #1 album in 1997. Cyrus is 15 and eight months.)
Ricky Nelson was the first teenager to have a #1 album. He was 17 when his album Ricky topped the chart in 1958. Stevie Wonder is still the youngest artist with a #1 album. He was just 13 and three months in 1963 when he topped the chart with Little Stevie Wonder/The 12 Year Old Genius.
Other teen stars to land #1 albums are Tiffany (who was 16 when she topped the chart in 1988), Bobby Brown (19 when he scored in 1989), Debbie Gibson (18 in 1989), the rap duo Kris Kross (13 and 14 in 1992), Christina Aguilera (18 in 1999), Avril Lavigne (19 in 2004) and Ashlee Simpson (19 in 2004)-plus Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC and Beyonce from Destiny's Child.
Only five of these chart-topping teen phenoms have made it back to #1 past their 25th birthdays. Brown was 27 when he returned to #1 as part of New Edition's reunion album, Home Again. Wonder was 26 when he landed his most recent #1 album, the classic Songs In The Key Of Life. Timberlake, Aguilera and Beyonce were all 25 when they scored with, respectively, FutureSex/LoveSounds, Back To Basics and B'Day. Will Cyrus one day join this roster of teen idols who made the transition to adult pop stardom? Time will tell.
Breakout sold 371,000 copies in its first week. That's Cyrus' biggest opening week to date. Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus started a year ago with sales of 326,000.
Hit singles, such as the sassy "See You Again," have helped give Cyrus credibility apart from the Hannah identity. Cyrus has 10 songs on this week's top 200 Hot Digital Songs chart, the most anyone has had in one week since David Cook put 17 songs on the chart in the week following his American Idol victory. All but two of the 12 songs on Cyrus' album are listed on the download chart. Her highest-ranking song is "7 Things," which dips a notch to #4.
Cyrus is a second-generation chart-topper. Her father Billy Ray Cyrus logged 17 weeks at #1 in 1992 with his debut album, Some Gave All. The Cyruses are one of only two families in which both a parent and a child have had #1 albums. The other? The Coles. Nat "King" Cole hit #1 in 1957 with Love Is The Thing. Daughter Natalie Cole reached the top spot in 1991 with her tribute to her dad, Unforgettable With Love.
Sugarland also makes chart news this week. The duo's latest album, Love On The Inside, debuts at #2, which is the highest that any country twosome has been listed in the 52-year history of Billboard's weekly album chart. The old record was held by Brooks & Dunn, which peaked at #3 in 2005 with their highest charting album, Hillbilly Deluxe. Two other country duos have reached the top 10. Big & Rich has climbed as high as #6 twice (in 2004 and 2007). Montgomery Gentry reached #10 in 2004. The Judds, still among the most famous country duos of all time, peaked at #51 in 1989 with their highest-charting album, River Of Time. (Country was underrepresented on the charts in the years before 1991, when Nielsen/SoundScan set up shop.)
Both Breakout and Love On The Inside debut with sales in excess of 300,000. It's the first time that two albums have debuted with sales above that level since November, when Jay Z's American Gangster and Garth Brooks' The Ultimate Hits both started that big. Love On The Inside sold 314,000 copies, which constitutes the biggest sales week for a country album in 2008. It tops two albums that debuted at #1-George Strait's Troubadour (166,000) and Alan Jackson's Good Time (119,000). All of Sugarland's sales were for a "deluxe fan edition." The pared-down, regular edition hits stores this week, which should give the album a very solid second week.
Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" tops Hot Digital Songs for the sixth straight week. Only one other hit by a female artist has topped this chart for six or more weeks. That would be Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl," which led the way for nine weeks in 2005. "I Kissed A Girl" sold 151,000 downloads this week, bringing its total so far to 1,879,000.
Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums.
1. Miley Cyrus, Breakout, 371,000. This is the sixth biggest first-week sales tally of 2008, following Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III (1,006,000), Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (721,000), Mariah Carey's E=MC2 (463,000), Usher's Here I Stand (443,000) and Jack Johnson's Sleep Through The Static (375,000). 2. Sugarland, Love On The Inside, 314,000. Sugarland's strong upward trajectory is seen in the first-week sales and chart numbers posted by its three albums. Twice The Speed Of Life sold a mere 4,000 copies the week it entered the chart at #194 in January 2005. Enjoy The Ride opened at #4 with sales of 211,000 in November 2006. Of the new album's sales total, 37,000 copies were sold digitally, making this the week's #1 Digital Album. Two songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "All I Want To Do" at #20. 3. Various Artists, Mamma Mia! soundtrack, 168,000. This is the fattest weekly sales total for a movie soundtrack since Idlewild (starring OutKast) sold 196,000 copies when it debuted in August 2006. Two movie soundtracks-Dreamgirls and Juno-have since hit #1 with much smaller weekly sales totals than Mamma Mia! registers this week. The high-spirited movie slipped from #2 to #3 at the box-office. Four songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by Meryl Streep's "Mamma Mia" at #48. 4. Kid Rock, Rock N Roll Jesus, 93,000. The album jumps from #6 to #4, its highest ranking in 40 weeks. The album is #14 for the year to date. The radio smash "All Summer Long" still isn't available as a download. 5. Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III, 85,000. How big was Lil Wayne's chart debut six weeks ago? Add the healthy sales tallies from this week's top four albums together and you get 946,000 units-still less than the 1,006,000 copies that Lil Wayne sold in his first week. The album slips from #2 to #5. It's #1 for the year to date. Five songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Lollipop" (featuring Static Major) at #19. 6. Coldplay, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, 75,000. The album dips from #4 to #6. It's #2 for the year-to-date. This will almost certainly be the third year in which Coldplay has had an album in the year-end top 10. A Rush Of Blood To The Head was #10 for the year in 2003. X&Y was #6 for the year in 2005. Two songs from the new album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Viva La Vida" at #5. 7. Various Artists, Camp Rock soundtrack, 67,000. The TV soundtrack slips from #5 to #7. It's #11 for the year to date. Four songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas at #32. 8. Nas, Untitled, 63,000. The album tumbles from #1 to #8. That's the biggest drop from the top spot since fellow rapper Jay Z made the same move in November with American Gangster. Nas' previous album, Hip Hop Is Dead, also had just a single week on top. But his two #1 solo albums before that both had multiple weeks on top. "Hero" drops from #57 to #109 on Hot Digital Songs. 9. Various Artists, NOW 28, 37,000. The compilation jumps from #11 to #9 to return to the top 10 for a seventh week. It's #16 for the year to date. 10. Taylor Swift, Beautiful Eyes, 35,000. The album, a Wal-Mart exclusive, slips from #9 to #10 in its second week. Swift's eponymous debut album holds at #12 in its 38th consecutive week in the top 20. Swift has four songs on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Should've Said No" at #44.Three albums drop out of the top 10 this week. John Mellencamp's Life Death Love And Freedom falls from #7 to #16. David Banner's The Greatest Story Ever Told slips from #8 to #20. Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad dips from #10 to #11.
Nine Inch Nails' The Slip debuts at #13. This is the band's seventh album to make the top 15; its second in a row to reach that level of success despite first being offered as a free download. Ghosts I-IV bowed at #14 in April.
Candlebox's Into The Sun opens at #32. This is the band's first album since Happy Pills 10 years ago. (They could have called this one Well Rested.) The Seattle-based band debuted (and peaked) in 1993 with an eponymous album that went top 10.Two popular bands, no strangers to live albums, enter the chart with digital-only live releases. U2's Live From Paris opens at #54. Counting Crows' Live From Soho bows at #66.
Blues legend Buddy Guy lands the highest-charting album of his career as Skin Deep bows at #68. The singer/guitarist first charted in 1991 with Damn Right, I've Got The Blues.
At The Movies: As you've no doubt heard by now, The Dark Knight has grossed $313.7 million at the box-office in just two weeks. It's already more than halfway to the mark set by the all-time box-office champ, Titanic, which has grossed $600.8 million. The soundtrack album from Titanic was also a smash. James Horner's score, augmented by a Celine Dion smash, has sold 10,117,000 copies, a total topped by only one soundtrack (The Bodyguard) in Nielsen/SoundScan history. Alas, the soundtrack from The Dark Knight is showing no signs of becoming a Titanic-style smash. The album, featuring a score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, dips from #20 to #23 in its second week on the chart. Why the disparity? Never underestimate the power of a ubiquitous radio hit. "Aggressive Expansion," the key download from The Dark Knight, is no "My Heart Will Go On."
ABBA's Gold-Greatest Hits holds at #1 on the Catalog Albums chart for the second straight week. It sold 22,000 copies this week and would have ranked #19 on the big chart if older, catalog albums were allowed to compete there. Three ABBA classics-"Dancing Queen," "Mamma Mia," and "Take A Chance On Me"-move up on Hot Digital Songs.
Ups & Downs: Two albums-the Mamma Mia! soundtrack and the Legally Blonde cast album-experienced sales increases of 84% this week, more than any other non-debuting album. Mamma Mia! was a stage musical that was turned into a movie. Legally Blonde was a movie that was turned into a stage musical. Can anyone in entertainment come up with an original idea anymore?! (Just asking.) Legally Blonde re-enters the chart at #165 with its highest weekly sales tally since October. On the down side, O.A.R.'s All Sides fell from #13 to #50, with a 67% sales drop, the steepest decline of any album in the top 200.
Heads Up: Kidz Bop Kids' Kidz Bop 14 will enter the chart next week, along with Third Day's Revelation and Scars On Broadway's Scars On Broadway, a side project by Daron Malakian, guitarist in System Of A Down.

Can you see Comet PANSTARRS now?
Here's the view northward on April evenings. At present the Big Dipper is high in the north. Notice the two outer stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper. These two stars – called Duhbe and Merak – always point to Polaris, the North Star.
Polaris is special because it always stays in the same spot in the northern sky. It's the star around which the entire northern sky appears to turn. That's because Polaris is located more or less above the northern axis of the Earth, and the wheeling of the stars across the dome of night is really due to Earth's turning, after all.
Polaris is also fun to locate for another reason. It's part of a famous – though elusive – star pattern, known as the Little Dipper. If you've ever looked for the Dippers, you know that the Big Dipper is usually pretty easy to find. But the Little Dipper is much tougher, partly because it's fainter, and partly because its shape is not nearly as dipper-like as its larger counterpart.
So here it is! The Little Dipper! The North Star, Polaris, marks the end of its handle.


text: I beseech thee, journey to Darkwood, Where many heroes once stood. To conquer an evil dimension, Unheeding to wise apprehension. The sounds of silence shatter, All peace of mind no matter Evil invades an idle head, The ever present still air dead Turning back is no option now For it has imprisoned you somehow So don't bother turning to see, What fiend has crept upon thee. A coward's mind so easy to trick, A welcoming death not so quick. Imagination, evil's best tool, For thou art a mortal fool. Heroic quest hastily ignored, Mind's eye envisions Satan's horde Running deeper to escape, An unavoidable mind rape. Suppressive exhaustion has begin, Hopelessly wondering within. Darkwood callous repressive night, Never dawns to cheery sunlight. A hazy moon casts a wicked spell, For an endless journey through hell. Dense fog sluggishly boils the bone, An entity maniacally rasps. "Welcome home."

Repossessing Virtue: Anchee Min on Repairing the American Individual
» download (mp3, 16:47)
Rob McGinley Myers, Associate Producer
The novelist and memoirist Anchee Min grew up in Mao's China, during the Cultural Revolution. In our program "Surviving the Religion of Mao," she described that period, beginning in 1966, when Chinese people were forced into peasant labor camps and told to sacrifice everything they loved for the greater good of the country.
I was taught to write, "I love you, Chairman Mao" before I was taught to write my own name. I never thought I belonged to myself. It was never "I love you, Papa" not "I love you, Mama." It's always "I love you, Communist Party of China," "I love you, Chairman Mao."
We were taught if you can sacrifice your loved ones, if you can denounce your parents, if you can denounce your favorite teacher, you are capable of greater love for the humanity.
Anchee Min managed to come to the United States in the 1980s, taught herself English, and became a bestselling author in part by writing about the horrors of her childhood. So I was particularly interested in her thoughts about our current economic downturn. Having grown up in a culture of total sacrifice, and then come to a country that so celebrates the pursuit of happiness, what perspective does she bring to this crisis? She has some hard and challenging answers.

Dec 11, 2013 .........0.40 Dividend Sep 12, 2013 .........0.381 Dividend Sep 12, 2013.......... 105: 100 Stock Split Jun 12, 2013............ 0.38095 Dividend Mar 13, 2013............ 0.38095 Dividend Dec 6, 2012.............. 0.38095 Dividend
Arrow Financial Corporation (AROW) I know it's a Financial. But this one never stop the dividend nor did it take the bail out. AROW only pays like 3.80% plus a 2% stock dividend per year. Not bad .If banks are on their way back as some people say. Their stock dividend may come back up also. The only other one I know of is TR ,but I don't hold that one. Only pays around 1% cash dividend. But has a stock bonuses . I have other dividend paying stocks that look good to me. But without stock splits. Best of luck to you.
Thanks to 90% of Alliance's contracts being priced through 2015, the company has been able to produce steady results. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 10.5; a long-term growth estimate of 14% gives ARLP a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.73. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of ARLP is its dividend yield of 6.3%, which has been fueled by a run of 22 consecutive quarters of dividend increases. ARLP still has a payout ratio of only 50%, which means Alliance has plenty of room to further boost distributions and invest in growth. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/6-3-yield-double-digit-190000786.html
6:18 am Nordic American Tanker: Letter to shareholders from the Chairman & CEO; improved market conditions for co's Suezmax tankers (NAT) : "In my letter to you one month ago, December 10 2013, I pointed at the improved conditions in the Suezmax spot tanker market. The strong development has continued into 2014. We do not predict spot tanker rates. I would note, though, that we are very pleased to see this strongly improved rate picture for Suezmax spot tankers... Below are the rates as quoted by Fearnleys Shipbrokers January 9 - yesterday... Market estimates for five different routes January 9, 2014: •130 KT - WAFR/USG $57,500 West Africa / US Gulf • 130 KT - WAFR/USAC $59,500 West Africa /US Atlantic Coast • 135 KT - BSEA/UKCM $76,500 Black Sea / UK/Continent • 130 KT - CROSS MED $76,500 Cross Mediterranean • 130 KT - MED/USG $55,500 Mediterranean/US Gulf The cash break-even rate for the NAT vessels, including administrative and financing items is about $12,000 per day per ship. A strong tanker market does impact the dividend payments to shareholders in a positive way."
Just call me a fool then....Or could it be you that is the fool ? Well, time will tell. Best of luck to you. PS: What stock are you replacing this one with ? As someday I would like to look back at this post.

This morning I was going in to Riverbend's OHVI (Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute) to workout in their gym, and as I was entering I noticed a several people walking toward the entrance with a kitty in a harness in their arms. As I approached the doors, I also noticed a child, a sweet little girl, in a wheel chair about to be rolled out to go home from her stay at the hospital.
Once I was inside, I looked out the window and saw that the folks with the kitty were there to meet the little girl in the chair, and they were delivering the kitty to her arms. It was a very sweet meeting. Her face told it all, her smile and happiness were very apparent. I do not know who she was but I took pictures with my iphone because it is not every day that one sees something as poignant as this. Tears welled in my eyes for this reunion of girl and kitty. And I would like to say Thank you to the folks that thought enough to bring her kitty to greet her. Even the kitty's expression looks happy.

Brock said "food deserts," or urban areas that lack quality supermarkets, are a real obstacle. She suggested getting around that by carpooling with neighbors to stores in areas with higher-quality grocery options or buying food in bulk. She also suggested growing herbs and vegetables in window-box gardens.
"Stop focusing on what's not there, or what you think is not there," Brock said. "We have to get out of this wimpy, 'woe is me' mentality."
While first lady Michelle Obama has encouraged exercise through her "Let's Move" campaign targeting childhood obesity, the spark for this current interest among black women may have been comments last year by Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, who observed publicly that women must stop allowing concern about their hair prevent them from exercising.
In an interview during a health conference in Washington last week, Benjamin said the damage sweat can inflict on costly hairstyles can affect women's willingness to work out, and she hopes to change that. She goes to beauty industry conferences to encourage stylists to create exercise-friendly hairdos.
"I wouldn't say we use it as an excuse, we use it as a barrier," Benjamin said. "And that's not one of the barriers anymore. We're always going to have problems with balancing our lives, but we could take that one out."
Parker, an actress who starred in "A Streetcar Named Desire" on Broadway earlier this year, understands this dilemma well. Out of personal frustration over maintaining both her workout and her hair, she created "Save Your Do" Gymwrap - a headband that can be wrapped around the hair in a way that minimizes sweat and preserves hairstyles.
"Not just as a black woman, but as a woman, since the beginning of time, beauty has been our responsibility," Parker said in an interview. Because of that, she said, exercise has become linked with vanity instead of health.
"We've turned exercise into a weight-loss regimen," Parker said. "No. Exercise is about being grateful for the body you have and sustaining the life you have. . . . Take all the hype out of the exercise and think of it as brushing your teeth."
With their mutual family histories of diabetes and high blood pressure in mind, Carey, 28, and her sorority sister Ashley Hicks, 29, co-founded the running club Black Girls Run. Carey also considered it a new beginning after a bad breakup and a move across the country. Since 2009, Black Girls Run has amassed 52,000 members who serve as a support system for runners.
Black Girls Run has about 60 groups nationwide that coordinate local races in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C, Houston and Greensboro, N.C. Most groups run at least five times a week. Next month, the national running club will take its first "Black Girls Run - Preserve the Sexy" tour to cities with high obesity rates. The tour includes health and fitness clinics with information on nutrition, hair maintenance and running gear.
"We found that when you want to get healthy and when you want to be active, it's intimidating," Carey said. "You don't know where to start. There's a little coaxing that has to go along with that."
Parker said once African-American women place value on their bodies and longevity, everything else will follow. It costs her nothing, she said, to walk around an outdoor track with her husband, actor Boris Kodjoe, or run up and down stairs at home with her headphones.
"One good step breeds another one," Parker said. "You're going to have one less margarita, one less scoop of Thanksgiving macaroni . . . and yet you're not doing anything fanatical or dramatic."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A $126.3 million federal stimulus project designed to expand high-speed Internet across West Virginia is nearly finished, but more than $43.3 million remains unspent, according to a report released last week.
State officials reported that Frontier Communications has installed 583 miles of fiber-optic cable to schools, libraries and other public facilities with only seven miles left to install.
Frontier also has finished all but six miles of an 85-mile project that will provide a fiber connection between West Virginia University and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank in Pocahontas County.
Frontier is due about $45 million for the two projects, but had been paid only $9.6 million as of Friday -- even though the fiber construction is 98 percent finished, according to the report.
Frontier is turning in invoices, but state officials overseeing the massive broadband expansion project haven't signed off on the bulk of payments, according to administrators familiar with Frontier's billing.
"The Office of Technology is in the process of working with the grant implementation team to ensure accuracy and documentation of all invoices and payments," said Diane Holley-Brown, a spokeswoman for that office.
A Frontier spokesman declined comment last week, referring questions to the state officials overseeing the federal stimulus project.
Last November, state Homeland Security Director Jimmy Gianato notified the federal government that West Virginia expected to have $9 million left over from the $126.3 million project. At the time, the Office of Technology solicited ideas from companies about how to spend the extra money.
Last week, state officials revised their estimate, predicting that $4 million will remain unspent.
With the stimulus funds, Frontier is bringing high-speed fiber to 630 "community anchor institutions" -- schools, libraries, jails, 911 centers, health clinics, county courthouses, planning agencies and other government facilities.
Frontier has finished installing fiber to all but 15 of those sites, according to the report.

Plan Your Naples and Campania Vacation
Before the Italian unification in 1860, Naples rivaled Paris as a cultural capital and the ultimate Grand Tour destination. Today, Naples can be difficult to warm to: noise and air pollution levels are high (but improving—much of the center is now pedestrianised), graffiti unsightly, and protests and disputes frequently disrupt transportation and temporarily close tourist attractions. Armed with the right attitude—"prepare for the worst; hope for the best"— Napoli doesn't disappoint. It's among Italy's top cittá d'arte, with impressive museums and fine churches.

Microsoft Technology Mustang From West Coast Customs
This is a 2012 Mustang with a 1967 Mustang Fastback replica body slapped on it and outfitted with all kinds of Microsoft technology. Want to change the horn to sound like Windows booting up? You can do that (I think). The car features a heads-up display for the driver and one for the passenger with an integrated XBox and internet connectivity so your copilot can play video games while you drive. There's also a touch-screen dashboard so you can switch between different dash skins like a modern one, a replica of a 1967 Mustang's, or just a bunch of nudie pics like I'd opt for.
What's more, when parked, the rear windshield can flip up, turning into a projector screen for playing movies or video games from behind the car. The rear windshield also has a customizable display, giving those in the car the ability to flash custom messages to tailgaters and others.
"So you could say, 'Excuse me, you're following me too close,'" Sandquist said. Or, perhaps, something a little more profane.West Coast Customs also put the Kinect motion-sensing controllers in the front and rear of the car. Drivers can use the cameras to check out a live video and audio feed of the car's surroundings using their Windows Phone. And if someone gets too close, the driver can tap into the external audio system with a smartphone to tell an onlooker to buzz off.
Using Viper SmartStart app for Windows Phone, drivers can locate the car, as well as unlock it and start it remotely.
Admittedly, that is kinda cool. "Sure -- until it crashes." Oh you're gooooood.
Hit the jump for several closeups and a preview of the West Coast Customs episode airing Sunday.

If you are using Windows 7, be happy with it
Upgrade to Windows 8 you will not get the old windows start menu.
You get the "metro" interface instead, (I have got rid of some of the tiles,so I now have a nice box of 8 )
On one of my computers I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 R.T.M.,it kept all my applications .
From www.lee-soft.com/vistart, I downloaded Vistart, (this is a free tool you can install to re-enable the windows 7-style Start Menu).
I can now ignore "Metro", its just as if I am using Windows7
The only difference between Windows 7, and Windows 8 is the ribbon across the top of any application
Upgrading to XP or Vista to Windows 7 costs over £100.
To upgrade to Windows 8 from XP or Vista costs £25, this would be worthwhile.
Upgrading Windows 8 from Windows 7 is not worth the money, time or the bother.
If you have Windows 7 stick with it.

i have changed my mind about windows 8, it boots up faster than 7. internet explorer 7 is always slow to boot, not windows 8 it boots as soon as you press the icon. and i like the ribbon accross the top of applications.also i have found a better application to put a start button on the task bar, from classic shell,www.classicshell.sourceforge.net/index.html vistart is a bit buggy.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency is a hereditary condition in which red blood cells break down when the body is exposed to certain drugs or the stress of infection.
G6PD deficiency occurs when a person is missing or doesn't have enough of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which helps red blood cells work properly.
Too little G6PD leads to the destruction of red blood cells. This process is called hemolysis. When this process is actively occurring, it is called a hemolytic episode. The episodes are usually brief, because the body continues to produce new red blood cells, which have normal activity.
Red blood cell destruction can be triggered by infections, severe stress, certain foods (such as fava beans), and certain drugs, including:
Other chemicals, such as those in mothballs, can also trigger an episode.
In the United States, G6PD deficiency is more common among blacks than whites. Men are more likely to have this disorder than women.
You are more likely to develop this condition if you:
A form of this disorder is common in whites of Mediterranean descent. This form is also associated with acute episodes of hemolysis. Episodes are longer and more severe than in the other types of the disorder.
Persons with this condition do not display any signs of the disease until their red blood cells are exposed to certain chemicals in food or medicine, or to stress.
Symptoms are more common in men and may include:
A blood test can be done to check the level of G6PD. See: G6PD screen
Other tests that may be done include:
Treatment may involve:
Spontaneous recovery from a hemolytic episode is the usual outcome.
Rarely, kidney failure or death may occur following a severe hemolytic event.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of this condition.
Call your health care provider if you have been diagnosed with G6PD deficiency and symptoms do not disappear after treatment.
Persons with G6PD deficiency must strictly avoid things that can trigger an episode. Talk to your health care provider about your medications.
Genetic counseling or testing may be available to those who have a family history of the condition.

The proposed settlement in the class action lawsuit over Google Books has proven to be quite controversial. Amazon, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are among those questioning the proposed settlement. On the other side, Sony, the Computer & Communication Industry Association and the Authors Guild are among those supporting the settlement.
Opponents claim that the settlement will give Google a virtual monopoly over online books. Supporters claim that the settlement will benefit consumers and does not preclude others from competing in the market.

U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Public Affairs Washington, DCwww.dot.gov/affairs/briefing.htm
FMCSA 09-02 Friday, May 3, 2002 Contact: Dave Longo Telephone: 202-366-0456
Another Step Toward Implementing NAFTA Cross-Border Truck, Bus Provisions
U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today congratulated the first graduates of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) border auditors course. He commended them for successfully completing the rigorous training program and emphasized the important part they will have in ensuring that Mexico-domiciled commercial vehicles operate safely in the United States when the NAFTA cross-border truck and bus provisions are implemented this summer.
"President Bush and I are committed to extending the benefits of free trade throughout our hemisphere, while ensuring that all trucks and buses operate safely in the United States," said Secretary Mineta. "Each of these auditors will help the United States to safely implement the truck and bus provisions of NAFTA."
The graduates, their hometowns and work locations are:
Today's graduates will join other FMCSA auditors in conducting safety audits of Mexico-domiciled motor carriers and roadside inspections on commercial motor vehicles to ensure safety in cross-border traffic. They are part of USDOT's effort to further the Bush administration's commitment under NAFTA to fully and safely open the border to international trucking. They will be assigned responsibility for promoting and enforcing the federal motor carrier safety regulations (FMCSR) and hazardous material regulations.
The Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2002, signed into law by President Bush on Dec. 18, 2001, established three categories of personnel to ensure the safe operation of commercial vehicles at the border. The three categories are safety inspector, safety auditor, and safety investigator. Each position performs distinct duties, although a safety investigator is qualified to perform all the tasks of each position. The positions and their duties include:
On March 14, 2002, the FMCSA took a key step toward opening the border by issuing a series of rules that will govern how Mexico-domiciled carriers can apply for operating authority and procedures to ensure the safety of Mexican commercial vehicles and drivers operating in the U.S.
FMCSA will continue to take the steps needed to open the border, including hiring inspectors, securing additional vehicle inspection space at the border, and working with U.S. and Mexico-domiciled carriers to educate companies about complying with Federal safety standards once the border is opened, anticipated by mid-year.

text: Weeks, pen had McClung's back in 6-3 win Written by Jaymes Langrehr on Tuesday, 22 July 2008 07:44. Newest Brewer Ray Durham got to make his first play in a Brewers' uni Monday night...but as only a pinch-hitter. Despite splits to the contrary, skipper Ned Yost started Rickie Weeks at second base...and Weeks delivered, going 2-for-5, scoring twice and driving in three runs to help pace the Crew to their fourth straight road win. Brewers' starter Seth McClung got behind early, surrendering a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, before settling down to finish five innings and only allowing the two earned runs. The Crew's 3-run fifth gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead before going to the pen in the bottom of the sixth. Guillermo Mota, Eric Gagne, and David Riske each pitched a scoreless inning in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings, respectively, before Salomon Torres gave up the tying run in the 9th. But after a Bill Hall insurance home run, Yost decided to stick with Torres, even having him bat in the 10th inning...the Brewers wound up with an additional two insurance runs in the inning, and Torres settled down to earn the win to improve to 5-2 on the year. The win puts Milwaukee just two back of the first-place Cubs in the NL Central.
