Maven's Morning Coffee: LA's financial problems, LA Times endorses Mike Feuer, reforms in the Sheriff's Department

If Measure A fails at the ballot box, Los Angeles may be forced to make drastic cuts, including layoffs in LAPD, according to a new budget report.
Good morning, readers. Welcome to the Maven's Morning Coffee -- a listing of the important headlines, news conferences, public meetings and announcements you need to know to fuel up and tackle your day.
The Maven's Morning Coffee is also available as a daily email. Click here to subscribe.
Today is Friday, Feb. 8 and here is what's happening in Los Angeles:
Failure to pass a half-cent sales tax increase could lead to layoffs in the LAPD, according to a budget report released Thursday. "While we are starting to see the 'light of the end of the tunnel,' the security provided by this optimistic picture is still very fragile and not an accurate reflection of the structural problems that the city is facing," CAO Miguel Santana wrote in his report. KPCC, Daily News
The Los Angeles Times endorsed Mike Feuer for city attorney. "Some races pit candidates of comparable merits in competition and force voters to make tough choices. This is not one of them. Feuer is by far the strongest and most worthy candidate for city attorney," according to The Times.
The Jewish Journal looks at mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti. "To be an effective mayor you have to be able to cross borders every single day. Demographic, income, geographic, ethnic boundaries and feel comfortable and fluent everywhere," Garcetti says.
Which Way, LA? looks at reforms in the Sheriff's Department. Meanwhile, a Daily News editorial asks Long Beach police Chief Jim McDonnell to run for sheriff. "The Sheriff's Department could use a shake-up, and a competitive race that forces the four-term incumbent to defend his job from a credible threat could be just what the department needs," according to the newspaper.
Former mayoral candidate Austin Beutner moderated a debate with the five leading candidates for mayor. Northridge-Chatsworth Patch has the video.
8:30 a.m. Public Safety Committee, City Hall, room 1010
- Report on seizing vehicles used for prostitution
10 a.m. Los Angeles City Council, City Hall, Council Chamber
- Celebration of African-American Heritage Month

Rainbow After quitting Deep Purple in 1975, Blackmore created Rainbow alongside former Elf vocalist Ronnie James Dio. The early years of the band are considered amongst the best with both Rainbow Rising and Long Live Rock 'n' Roll regarded as classic seventies hard rock albums. Rainbow's emphasis shifted with the introduction of vocalist Graham Bonnet and then Joe Lynn Turner, which saw the band's popularity increase both sides of the Atlantic, but particularly in Blackmore's homeland with three consecutive top ten singles. After quitting the reformed Deep Purple, Blackmore briefly put a new version of Rainbow together, producing the very underrated Stranger In Us All album in 1995.

Comments about Blues Clues Romper Infant Costume:
It is a very cute costume. However, the picture shows paws on the suit and the actual costume has dots and not as many as shown. In spite of that, it was fun to have people complementing my 3 month old baby on how cute he looked.

CAIRO - The Muslim Brotherhood and a military man identified with the police state of the ousted Hosni Mubarak courted defeated first-round candidates in Egypt's presidential election on Saturday, each trying to claim the mantle of the revolution for a runoff next month.
State media named the Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi and former air force chief Ahmed Shafiq as the top two vote-getters in this week's first round of a close-fought election made possible by last year's popular revolt.
Official results are not due until Tuesday to allow the election committee to hear complaints and appeals about the voting. State newspapers cited no source for their vote count, which broadly tallied with previous Brotherhood estimates.
The choice between Mursi and Shafiq, representing forces that have tussled for the past six decades, has dismayed many Egyptians who voted for candidates offering a middle ground.
They fear a victory for the 70-year-old Shafiq, Mubarak's last prime minister, would snuff out hopes of change ignited by the anti-Mubarak uprising, while a win for Mursi would pitch Egypt into an experiment with Islamic rule.
The Brotherhood invited rivals, including losing candidates such as leftist Hamdeen Sabahy and moderate Islamist Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh, to talks on Saturday aimed at gaining their support for the runoff against Shafiq on June 16 and 17.
Warning of "determined efforts to recreate the old regime", it said parties that supported the uprising against Mubarak must unite "so that the revolution is not stolen from us".
The Brotherhood already holds the biggest bloc in parliament after an election completed in January, but has been unable to assert itself against an army-appointed interim government.
Who stole the revolution?
Shafiq used strikingly similar language at a news conference as he addressed youth groups that spearheaded last year's popular uprising.
"Your revolution was stolen," he told them. "I pledge to return its fruits to your hands."
Shafiq said that "the clock cannot be turned back", but that he would not let the country "drown in chaos".
Much of his rhetoric indirectly targeted the Brotherhood, playing on fears among Egypt's minority Christians and secular liberals that a Mursi presidency would threaten their freedoms.
"No exclusion of anyone or distancing of anyone," he declared. "Everyone has a right to be a part of this nation."
On Friday he had told Egyptian television that he saw no problem with the idea of a Muslim Brotherhood-led government if he were elected president.
The generals who took over when Mubarak quit on February 11, 2011, have promised to make way for a new president by July 1, formally ending a messy and often bloody political transition.
But the military, which has supplied all Egypt's previous presidents, is keen to keep its privileges and influence in a new order in which the powers of the president, parliament and government are as yet undefined by a rewritten constitution.
Mursi and Shafiq only narrowly topped the vote on Wednesday and Thursday, in which unofficial results showed less than 8 percentage points separating the top four candidates.
Mursi's 25 percent paled in comparison to the parliamentary election, in which the Brotherhood gained nearly half the seats.
Reform-minded independents such as Abol Fotouh and Sabahy between them won more votes than either Shafiq or Mursi, hinting at the growth of a new centre in Egypt's fluid political scene.
"The Brotherhood will have to reach out in a grand and dramatic way to the centre and the other political parties if they have any hope of winning their support and any hope of winning the presidency," said Elijah Zarwan of the European Council on Foreign Relations think tank.
Anti-Shafiq front?
A Brotherhood party official, Yasser Ali, said the talks to persuade rivals to join an anti-Shafiq front would discuss the vice presidency and a new coalition government.
"We know we will succeed in uniting behind the initiative to save the nation and complete the revolution," Essam el-Erian, deputy head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, told a news conference on Friday.
Long a thorn in Mubarak's flesh, the Brotherhood has looked increasingly isolated from other parties since his fall, first facing accusations it was slow to join the revolt and then that it acquiesced in the military rule that followed.
Trust in the Brotherhood was further undermined when the group decided to join the presidential race, after previously pledging to stay out. The group, founded in 1928, says it is the target of a vicious smear campaign by its opponents.
Abol Fotouh, who won about 17.6 percent of the vote by the Brotherhood's count, has said he will now back the Islamist group with which he split last year to run for president.
He did not name the Brotherhood, but said he and his supporters would "rise above our political and party differences" and would "stand in a united front against the symbols of corruption and oppression".
Shafiq has won support among Egyptians who see him as the kind of strongman the country needs to end 15 months of political instability, economic failure and rising crime.
His constituency also includes Christians, who form about a 10th of Egypt's 82 million people. They complained of discrimination in Mubarak's day, but are likely to vote for Shafiq in preference to an Islamist.
Mohamed Habib, a former deputy leader of the Brotherhood who left the group last year in protest at its post-uprising policies, said the group should offer vice presidential positions to at least two people from outside the group.
He suggested one could be a Christian - an idea to which Mursi himself has said he is not opposed.

Improve storm drainage system on Celia Ave. to reduce street, property and structure flooding.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) project team will manage the Celia Ave. Culvert Replacement Project through the phases listed below. Specific work is conducted during each phase while an emphasis is made on public involvement throughout the entire project.
Planning Phase (Started June 2011) During the planning phase, questionnaires and other correspondences with the property owners/residents (i.e., emails, phone calls, meetings...) are used to obtain input from property owners. Improvement alternatives are being evaluated to determine the best solution. The recommended alternative will be presented to the public at the beginning of the design phase. The planning phase for this project may last up to 9 months depending on property owner and utility coordination effort. Property Easement/Acquisition (Phase I: Start September 2012; Phase II Start April 2013)The City's real estate staff works with citizens and businesses to acquire Storm Drainage Easements (SDEs). The City requests that SDEs be donated to provide access to your property to make the recommended improvements and provide future maintenance. In addition to SDEs, right-of-way and temporary construction easements are needed to relocate Celia Avenue and access work areas. The bid phase will begin after all easements are acquired. The easement acquisition phase of a project typically lasts 12 to 15 months.Design Phase (Started July 2012)During the design phase, construction drawings for the alternative selected during the planning phase are developed. Many details must be addressed including the determination of specific pipe sizes and alignments, channel widths and lining types, inlet sizes and locations, utility relocations, and easement locations. The design phase of this project will last 22 to 25 months.Permitting Phase (TBD)During the permitting phase, the required water quality permits are obtained from Federal and State governments. The permitting phase of a project typically lasts 3 to 9 months. The permitting phase of a project may overlap other phases.
Bid Phase (Time Frame TBD)During the bid phase, the final plans will be circulated to qualified contractors for a competitive bidding process. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder is awarded the construction contract. The bid phase of a project typically lasts 5 to 6 months.
Construction Phase (Project Complete March 2016)Throughout construction, efforts will be made to minimize disruption to nearby property owners. Construction of proposed improvements will be supervised by City inspectors. Notifications of key construction dates and will be mailed to residents prior to construction. The construction phase of this project will last 6 to 9 months.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Jackie and Dan Evans know hard it can be to start losing weight.
Before their experience as contestants on NBC's popular weight loss reality show "The Biggest Loser," they both feared they'd be heavy forever. After putting to work the knowledge and inspiration they received from the professionals on the show, the results were dramatic.
Dan lost more than 43 percent of his original body weight and Jackie was able to shed 36 percent of hers.
Since appearing on the show in 2008, the mother and son duo have been traveling the country sharing their story in an effort to reach out to those who are daunted by the idea of beginning to eat healthful meals and exercise regularly.
They visited Charleston on Wednesday to promote the local installment of The Biggest Loser RunWalk race series.
The races, taking place all across the country, are intended to be a non-intimidating opportunity to get people of all levels of skill, experience and athleticism out and moving.
Charleston's RunWalk will take place June 29 during the city's FestivALL 2013 celebration. The event features a five-kilometer run or walk, a 10-kilometer run or walk and children's one mile Fun Run. At the end of the race live entertainment will be provided by Dan, who has also achieved success as a Billboard chart-topping artist.
The RunWalk is organized and coordinated by the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau, which also invited the Evans to be part of the promotions.
This is the Evans' third trip to Charleston to promote the race, but they're familiar with the area. Jackie's mother lives in Cross Lanes and her father grew up in Webster County. The pair resides in Chicago, but Dan said they visit the area often, returning for holidays and family events.
Because of the family connection and state's obesity problem the Evans said they're eager to spread word of the event in the area.

OTTUMWA, Iowa - Driving by a boat ramp one Saturday morning in July, a local man noticed some white spots on the Des Moines River. He stopped to have a look.
Turns out the spots were fish bellies. The undersides of dead sturgeon formed glistening constellations in the muddy brown water.
In all, about 58,000 dead fish were along a 42-mile stretch, according to state officials, and the cause of death appeared to be heat. Biologists measured the water at 97 degrees in multiple spots.
"I've never seen anything quite like it," Justin Pedretti, who owns a farm near the boat ramp in Bonaparte, Iowa, and first reported the fish kill.
Under the most wide-reaching drought since 1956, and torched by the hottest July on record dating from 1895, the United States has been under the kind of weather stress that climatologists say will be more common if the long-standing trend toward higher U.S. temperatures continues. Most immediately affected are the nation's water sources and the people and crops that rely on them.
The flow of the Mississippi River has slowed - at times rivaling 40-year-lows - allowing saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico to seep far up the river channel, threatening community water supplies at the river mouth. Likewise, across the nation's middle, many communities have invoked water restrictions to protect shrinking supplies. The lack of rain has sizzled the nation's corn crop, too, with agriculture officials reporting in the second week of August that the overall yield is expected to drop 16 percent from last year.
Scott Lakin, owner of a family farm in Indiana, was already dealing with the drought harming his corn crop. But his wife recently called with the discovery that the weather woes were striking much closer to home.
"I heard the washing machine making sounds - it wasn't filling," Marcy Lakin said. "Then I checked the faucets and couldn't get even a drip."
The well was dry. The water table in the area had sunk to new lows, and like other homeowners in Parr, Ind., they were without water. When they sought out a well-driller to try to find water, they found that drillers across the state were booked for a week.
Six of 35 observation wells in the state have hit historic lows, said Mark Basch, chief of the state water rights department.
The Lakins, with two kids, have gone almost two weeks without water.
"I think you could say it's been a trying summer," she said. "Everybody was looking for water."
In 1895, the first year of such records for the nation, the average July temperature in the contiguous states was 72.1 degrees.
Since then, average temperatures have been rising, if slowly, according to U.S. records, climbing at the rate of 1.24 degrees per century.
This year, average temperatures spiked to 77.6 - even above the long-term trends, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported recently.
At the same time that temperatures have spiked, setting records in places as far-flung as Lansing, Mich., and Greenville, S.C., the country has been hit with a spreading drought. In early August, 62 percent of the contiguous United States was under moderate to exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
The heat and drought feed on each other, worsening conditions, scientists said. When the ground is wet, the water absorbs the sun's heat and expends it in evaporation; when the earth is dry in a drought, the ground simply warms up.
The rising temperatures and spreading drought this year are consistent with what can be expected with the warming of the climate, said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with NOAA.
"Any given year in the future could be above or below that rising trend," Crouch said. "But if the current trend continues, the chances of years like this become greater."
The Midwest is particularly vulnerable to large swings, according to federal scientists, in part because it is farther from the oceans, which help to moderate temperatures.

In June 2002, two men waited in an upscale Madrid hotel room for a very important delivery. One was tall, buzz cut, athletic. The other was an affable, academic type in his late 40s with a medium build and short hair tinged with gray.
There was a knock at the door. It was a shaven-headed Spaniard wearing the garb of European thug: black T-shirt, tattoos on his arms, and a gold chain around his neck. He was holding a large flat package wrapped in brown paper.
"Put it on the bed," said the tall man. "El professor will take a look."
"El professor" carefully unwrapped the package to reveal a heavy, ornately-carved cradle frame that was securely holding a painting—an old one. He recognized it at once. There was the black-robed monk, kneeling by the shoreline, reading his Bible while all around him strutted halfhuman monsters, pig-faced, bird-bodied symbols of carnal desire: The Temptation of St. Anthony by Pieter Bruegel, one of the classics of Flemish art. The year before, it had been stolen from the penthouse apartment of Esther Koplowitz, the richest woman in Spain. As el professor inspected the piece, he heard the thief haggling with his partner.
"One million? Is worth four."
"If it is authentic you will get ten. For this one and the others."
El professor lifted the painting from the bed.
"I'll have to take it into a dark room to use the black light," he said. Accompanied by the thief, he carried the painting into the bathroom, shut the door, and turned off the lights. He scanned the painting with the dim purple of a UV lamp, looking for luminescent glows, telltale signs of modern paints that would indicate a forgery. He saw none. There was no doubt. This was the stolen Bruegel. But "El professor" was a fake. He was not an American academic working for Russian gangsters. He was Robert Wittman, undercover agent of the FBI. And in a few minutes, if all went well, he would say a coded phrase that would bring this sham transaction to an abrupt end.
If you were to meet Bob Wittman looking over Civil War pistols in an antique store or relaxing in a bar, you would think him to be a pleasant conversationalist with a genial sense of humor. There is nothing flamboyant about him, just an air of quiet self-confidence. You would never guess that Wittman was an undercover agent for the FBI. Dozens of art thieves have made the same mistake, learning to their chagrin that the professor or antique dealer they trusted was not the man they took him for.
During his 20 year career, Wittman helped recover $225 million worth of stolen art, antiques, and jewelry, leading Maxim magazine to hail him in February 2009 as the "World's Greatest Art Detective." Although his work has taken him from Poland to Peru, this cosmopolitan crime solver has deep Baltimore roots, and those roots helped make him a success.
Born in Tokyo in 1955 to an American serviceman and his Japanese wife, Wittman arrived in Baltimore as a toddler and lived here for the next three decades.
"I grew up surrounded by Japanese art," Wittman recalls. "There were decorations all over the house. My dad ran all sorts of businesses—a home improvement business, a publishing business. He liked Asian art so much that he opened an antique shop on Howard Street that specialized in it." Wittman's Oriental Gallery was open from 1985 to 1997.
There was nothing unusual about Wittman's upbringing: He went to Calvert Hall High School and then Towson University. He worked in his dad's shop on the weekends. He went to Orioles games.
"He was just like any other kid," says Wittman's cousin Scott, a retired general contractor from Baltimore. "Liked sports, comic books. But he was a master of many talents." Scott remembers that Wittman was so good at playing classical piano, he gave lessons to other kids in the neighborhood. This talent would pay off in unexpected ways. When Wittman's future wife Donna first met him at a party, she says she had mixed impressions. "I thought he was overly confident in himself, but, at the same time, he was charming," she recalls. "On a later date he took me to his parents' home where he sat down and played 'Unchained Melody' for me on the piano. After that, we were inseparable."
After graduating from college in 1980, Wittman worked for a time in one of his father's publishing businesses, printing agricultural monthlies such as Maryland Farmer, and he continued to help out at the antique shop. "I used to go with my dad when he took clients out to lunch," he recalls. "I saw how they interacted." As he got older, he began working with the clients more directly, going to auctions, buying and selling antiques. He enjoyed the work, but something was missing. When he was a boy, he had avidly watched the Efrem Zimbalist TV series The F.B.I. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he had always dreamed of doing that kind of work himself. "It seemed like an exciting position," he says. "And relevant, an important job. I'd be on the forefront of protecting the Constitution."
In 1988, he saw a Catonsville Times ad calling for applications to the FBI and submitted his resume. Somewhat to his surprise, his application was accepted.
Suddenly, he'd be going from arguably one of the least dangerous jobs imaginable (who wants to hurt an antique dealer?) to one of the most dangerous. So how did his wife feel about this transition?
"Before I joined the FBI, Donna and I agreed that we would accept the danger," Wittman says. "We decided this together, made the commitment. As an agent you put your game face on and accept the consequences, accept the ultimate danger. You might say it's part of the contract."
After he graduated from the FBI academy in 1988, Wittman was assigned to the Philadelphia field office to work on the recovery of stolen property. (He has lived in the Philadelphia area since then.) His first assignment was a case concerning the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The museum had been the victim of a brazen daylight robbery—a thief stole a bronze bust by Rodin at gunpoint, firing a pistol shot into the walls to show that he meant business. Worth about $75,000, the "Man with the Broken Nose" was certainly a valuable piece of sculpture, but it was the notoriety of the case that made it a sensation.
"The robbery was a huge story," Wittman said. "Tips came pouring in. I was one of the agents who checked them out."
Tips eventually led the FBI to the thief, an out-of-work dancer. The statue was recovered undamaged, wrapped in brown paper and hidden under the water heater in the home of the dancer's mom. Although Wittman's role in the investigation was routine and unglamorous, he knew he had found his calling: recovery of stolen art and antiquities.
"This is a special type of investigation," he says, speaking with uncharacteristic animation. "Art and antiquities, these are the records of civilization. When someone steals these, it's like they're stealing from all of us."
The FBI recognized the value of Wittman's background in antiques and sent him to classes in art history and gemology to hone his skills. It gave him credibility as an undercover agent.
As John Kitzinger, Wittman's last supervisor at the FBI, notes, "Antiques were the foundation of his expertise. He knew talking points about art."
Baltimore antiques dealer Philip Dubey, who knew Wittman when he was still working for his father, confirms the value of such specialized training. "There is a lot of jargon in the antiques business," he says. "It's almost like a secret handshake. If someone finds a punchbowl in their attic they might describe it as 'sixteen inches wide, blue and white.' A dealer would say, 'overglaze blue and white from the neo-classical era.' You can usually tell right away if someone has a background or not."
Dubey remembers Wittman as an unusually affable and forthcoming young man. "He would share information," he says. "He wasn't one of those dealers who plays his cards close to his chest."
That "regular guy" persona seemed to suit the job. Former special agent Jerri Williams of the Philadelphia office had a nickname for him. "I called him LB—Lovable Bob," she says. "He comes across as a real person. Not arrogant, aloof, none of the things that people think an FBI agent is. How could a crook suspect that he is anything other than he seems to be?"
Wittman's flair for undercover work led him to become something of a globe- trotter, impersonating a dealer in African antiquities in Warsaw, an art broker in Copenhagen and Barcelona, a cigar-smoking antiquities buyer in Miami, and, of course, that shady professor in Madrid. Undercover work is not for the faint of heart.
Wittman still remembers his first undercover case.
"In 1995, a con man in Philadelphia tried to buy $15 million worth of diamonds," he recalls. "He told a jeweler he was with the CIA. Not surprisingly, the jeweler called the authorities. My job was to be the courier. I had a briefcase full of fake diamonds attached to my arm with a handcuff. [As the courier], I was supposed to meet the con man in a hotel lobby, go with him to his room, hand over the diamonds, and get the money."
Wittman met the con man in the lobby, and they chatted for a few seconds. Then Wittman raised his right hand.
"That was the signal," he says. "Undercover agents in the lobby swarmed us. Later when we searched the hotel room we found cashier's checks made out for $15 million— all fake, of course. We also found a few other things. The con man had been ready for a fight. He had turned all the mirrors in the room around so they wouldn't break. He had a pistol in the room, a hatchet in his coat, and a suitcase filled with surgical bandages. He was prepared to cut off my arm to get my suitcase."
Clearly, an undercover agent needs steady nerves. "When people act nervous, they can stress everyone out," says Kitzinger. "Nothing rattles Bob. He's a very cool customer, even in stressful situations. Of course, we have controls in place during undercover operations, but you can never be sure what will happen."
Wittman was so confident in his own abilities, he was even known to tempt fate. Once, when dealing with an Armenian drug lord who had stolen four paintings from the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Wittman, posing as a potential buyer, cracked, "Don't you trust me? You'd think I was the FBI!" The drug lord laughed, the negotiation continued, and Wittman got his man again.
Back in the Madrid sting operation, "El professor" emerged from the darkened room where he had examined the stolen Bruegel, smiled at his partner, and voiced the coded phrase: "It's a done deal!" His words were picked up by a hidden microphone. Seconds later, a black hooded Spanish SWAT team burst through the door of the hotel room. Wittman dove behind the bed, holding the Bruegel in his arms. "Don't shoot!" he yelled. "Bueno hombre! Bueno hombre! Good guy! Good guy!" (He was still keeping his cover.) As usual in such cases, Wittman was arrested along with the suspects and was taken down to the city jail to be photographed and fingerprinted. Unlike the other suspects, he was quickly released.
After an eventful career with the FBI, Wittman retired last year at the age of 52. "There comes a point when you turn it over to the younger generation and give them a chance," he says. "Chasing criminals is a young man's game. The criminals, they're still 18. I'm not."
But he continues to fight art theft through his Chester Heights, PA-based private company, Robert Wittman Incorporated, working on security issues with museums, collectors, and insurance companies and consulting on recovery of stolen art. Over the years Wittman has never lost his connection with Baltimore, which he visits often. And although he doesn't allow his photo to be taken, you may see Wittman on the streets of Baltimore when he is in town: average height, average build, graying hair. Just a regular guy—or so he wants you to believe.

The number of firearms licenses issued in Massachusetts has climbed by more than one-third in the past five years, a marked shift in a state known for its antigun reputation.
Since 2007, the number of Class A permits — the largest and least restrictive category that allows possession of all legal handguns, rifles, and shotguns — has risen to nearly 260,000, the latest state records show, a 36 percent jump that extends from cities to bedroom communities to small towns.
Longstanding concerns that the federal government will tighten gun control laws are a driving force behind the increase, gun shop owners and firearms instructors say. In the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, renewed calls for gun control, at both the federal and state level, have deepened the fears.
Increased gun ownership also reflects broader fears. Years of economic turmoil, terrorist attacks, and intense news focus on horrific crimes have stirred considerable anxiety, leading more people to seek personal protection.
"There's a general sense of unease with the current situation," said Steven Moysey, a firearms instructor in Worcester. "People are just nervous, and don't want to be victims. I've seen it over and over again."
In virtually every community in the state, more residents own weapons, and in many cases carry concealed handguns.
In Boston, the number of these permits, which allow the possession of all legal handguns, rifles, and shotguns, has risen more than 60 percent since 2007, while in Somerville they rose by 66 percent.
Many communities — including Duxbury, Falmouth, Franklin, and Northborough — saw 50 percent increases. In Pembroke, a suburb within 30 miles of Boston, permits doubled.
While several law enforcement officials said they are more concerned with illegal weapons, supporters of stricter gun control said the increase in gun licenses was worrisome.
"In my view, there are too many guns in private hands," said David Linsky, a Democratic state representative from Natick. "We need to look in a very serious way what the standards are for issuing those gun licenses and whether the standards are too lax."
Mike Burchman, a firearms instructor in Hopkinton, said high-profile home invasions in Connecticut and New Hampshire in recent years have spurred interest in guns for self-defense. One recent student, a woman from the small town of Groton, was worried that her house, set back down a long driveway, was too remote for police to reach quickly. Other instructors say they have seen many more women taking gun classes in the past two years, at times making up a majority of the students.
"People are feeling a little helpless, and they have decided to do something about it," he said. "They are starting to realize police can't be everywhere at all times."
Since the Newtown shootings, several area gun shops have reported increased business. Ted Oven, owner of Northeast Trading Co. in North Attleborough, said some buyers were picking up four or five boxes of ammunition instead of their usual one. "Everyone is hoarding," Oven said.
Jim Wallace — who directs the Massachusetts-based Gun Owners' Action League, an affiliate of the National Rifle Association — said people are "legitimately afraid" of a crackdown on firearms.
"They are taking hints from the president that something big is on the horizon," he said.
In Massachusetts, local police departments decide whether to issue firearms licenses to applicants who complete a certified safety course and pass a background check, a process that can take months.
Gun advocates have long complained that some police chiefs are too arbitrary in awarding permits. In some communities that have seen sharp increases, law enforcement officials say they are following the law to the letter.
"We do it the way the law says," said police Lieutentant Brian Reid, the licensing officer in Falmouth, where the number of licensed gun owners has grown nearly 80 percent over the past five years. "We don't impose a doctrine or an attitude."
In Quincy, where permits are up 60 percent, Police Chief Paul Keenan cited a similar shift.
"We just follow the law," he said, adding that about 15 people a year have their license revoked because of a domestic violence incident, a drug arrest, or other reasons, he said.
Massachusetts' gun laws are among the nation's tightest and feature an assault weapons ban modeled on the now-lapsed federal law. But gun control advocates say the ban should be tightened to include all types of military-style rifles like the one used in the Newtown shooting.Continued...

Online Marketing for the Holidays
If you're a B2C company, odds are your marketing department's been preparing for the 2012 holiday season for months already, trying to figure out the best ways to reach potential customers and to increase sales in an economy that's still stagnant. You've figured out your email marketing, direct mail and advertising. The powers that be have determined what items will go on sale when, and declared that doors WILL open at 2 a.m. on Black Friday (or, in some cases, will open at midnight or earlier Thanksgiving day).
With so many advertisements pummeling consumers on a daily basis (I think I've received at least ten emails in the past two days already talking about buying for Christmas, and Zales has been doing pre-Black Friday email only sales for the past month or so), how do you stand out and make sure customers are buying YOUR product rather than your competition's?
Having a robust email list that's properly segmented is one way to help garner attention and boost sales. A properly segmented list means that the right people are seeing the right message, thus increasing your chances of getting a sale from that particular email. Focusing on the right items and message–beyond segmentation–is also important. Yes, parents want to know that Lalaloopsy dolls will be on sale for ten bucks on Black Friday (actually, if anyone sees that price let me know–we have a niece who wants one for Christmas), but not everyone is in the market to purchase toys. An avid cyclist would love to know that REI will have all cycling clothes half off, but a rock climber wouldn't necessarily care. Focusing on value, though, is a good tactic in our current economy. And if you have a layaway program, an email campaign would be a great place to mention that. Coupons, exclusive offers and steep email only discounts are all good ways to help drive sales.
If you're also running a direct mail campaign, there are ways to integrate a print piece into your online marketing. A QR code is a super simple way to do that. Smack one on your well done direct mail piece and have it go to a landing page for a contest to win a free item, such as boots, a $500 gift card, an HDTV, PS3, etc. Not only will you get people to land on your website, but you'll also get their email addresses as a result, which you can then load into your email database for further promotions and newsletters. Be sure, though, to include the URL to the landing page for those who don't have a smart phone or a QR code reader–no matter what, you'll still only give away one prize, but the number of email addresses you collect could go up considerably.
So what if someone clicks through on your email campaign or scans in the QR code but doesn't buy anything? That's where a good retargeting campaign can come in handy. Basically, retargeting is a form of paid media where a visitor's IP address is cookied, and as they surf the web ads for your store or product will appear on the websites they're surfing. I get retargeted all the time by Zappos and Overstock.com, and have received retargeted emails from Home Depot. I also just started being retargeted by Cabela's after signing up for their newsletter yesterday. A 2010 study by comScore found that retargeting generated a 1046 percent lift in trademark search behavior, and retailers who retarget site visitors can see an ROI ranging from 2% to 35% (and probably higher). Evidence is showing that while a lot of shoppers window shop online and abandon their shopping carts, retargeting is an effective method of drawing them back to your website and encouraging them to complete the transaction. Other forms of paid media can also be effective, depending on your particular space and the competitiveness of it.
While most retailers focus on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, don't neglect customers the rest of the time from November 1 to December 25. Anyone who's ever worked in retail knows that the Saturday before Christmas is actually the busiest day of the holiday shopping season. There are also those customers who shop throughout the year, or who start their shopping before Black Friday. There are those who avoid stores on Black Friday at all costs, and those who wait until 9 p.m. on December 24th to buy gifts for all 23 of their family members. Spraying and praying is not effective, but making sure to address ALL–or at least as many–of your customers as possible will help you to garner the most sales during an incredibly competitive shopping season.
Good luck, many sales, and if you happen to need some elves to help you with your holiday marketing, we're pretty handy with reindeer and Jack in the Box (es? Jacks in the Boxes? Jacks in the Box? what is the plural of that?).
Happy holiday sales!

Snow removal puts state $6 million in hole
The state budgeted about $39 million for winter maintenance but expects to spend about $45 million. Last winter totaled about $32 million for "a relatively mild winter," department spokesman Bill Boynton said Tuesday.
"As always is the case, we don't know how the winters are going to play out," Boynton said, noting last month ranked as the worst month in 20 years on a winter severity index that measures the effect of weather on maintaining roads.
Before Tuesday's storm, Concord already had 72 inches of snow this winter, 17.2 inches above normal.
At the same point last year, the city saw 48.9 inches compared to a normal 54.8 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
A fleet of 310 state plow trucks and 437 hired trucks cleared 4,600 miles of state-maintained roads Tuesday. A statewide storm typically costs about $565,000 for an eight-hour shift without overtime, including staff, equipment and salt. An eight-hour overtime shift runs $609,000.
Some crews in southwest New Hampshire were called out at 10 p.m. Monday.
Last winter's budget had more than $7 million left over, with some of that money devoted to tasks such as tree trimming and guardrail work in the summer, Boynton said.

The ball is in play at all other times.
For example, it is in play even if: |
A goal is scored when the entire ball crosses the goal-line between the goal posts and under the cross bar, provided it was NOT thrown, carried, or intentionally propelled with the arm or hand by an attacking player. If a defending player deflects the ball with his hand or arm and the ball goes in the goal, a goal is scored. |
The offsides law DOES NOT apply to the Fall In-town program. For all games however, the referee may determine unsportsman-like conduct for "excessive" camping out in the opponents penalty area or for interfering with the goalkeeper. In general, a player is in an offside position if he is nearer to his opponent's goal-line than the ball and the second to last opponent. The referee calls offsides if and
ony if,
at the moment the ball touches or is played by a
teammate, the player, in the area of activity: A player cannot be
offsides if: If judged offside, the opposing team is awarded an Indirect free kick. |
Fouls and misconduct are penalized by awarding free kicks to the opponent. Direct Free
Kicks (DFK) are awarded for: Indirect Free
Kicks (IFK) are awarded for: Ejection (Send-Off)
offenses: |
The two kinds of free kicks are:
A free kick is taken from the place
where the offense occured. Ball must be stationary. |
A penalty kick is awarded if the defending team commits one of the 10 Direct free kick fouls within its own penalty area. The spot of the foul, NOT the ball determines the call. All players except the kicker and goalkeeper must be outside the penalty area and at least 7-10 yards (depending of field size) away from the penalty spot. The goalkeeper may move sideways prior to the kick. The ball must be kicked forward for it to be in play. The Iron Law of two touch applies. A goal can be scored directly from a penalty. Neither team may enter (encroach) the penalty area until the kick is taken. If a defender encroaches, a score stands and a miss is retaken. If an attacker encroaches, a score is retaken and a miss stands (goal kick). If both team encroaches, retake kick. If a miss rebounds or is saved or bounces off the goalkeeper, an Indireck free kick is awarded to the defending team. |
A throw-in is awarded if the entire ball crosses the entire touchline in the air or ground.
A goal kick is awarded to the defending team if the ball passes completely over the goal line, outside the goal, after having last touched by a player of the attacking team. The goal kick is take from any point within the goal area nearest the place where the ball crossed the goal line. All opposing players must be outside the penalty area. The ball must travel outside the penalty area before being in play, and may not be played by the kicker a second time before being touched by another player (Iron law of two touch). Otherwise, the kick must be retaken. A goal CANNOT be scored directly from a goal kick. |
A corner kick is awarded to the attacking team if the ball passes completely over the defending team's goal-line, (outside the goal), having last been touched by a player on the defending team. All opposing player must be at least 10 yards away from the ball, unless in the event the kick is taken quickly without the attacking team asking for the 10 yards. Iron law of two touch applies. Ball is play when it moves in the field of play. A goal can be scored directly from a corner. |

News Release
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Media contact: Patricia Behnke, 850-251-2130
The preliminary findings of biological status reviews on listed species reveal success stories for some of Florida's most vulnerable species. Although work is still under way, in early November, experts appointed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) began to review the information and data received on 61 state-listed species against Florida's listing criteria. The groups found that several species may no longer be at risk of extinction and may not need to be listed.
"We hope these preliminary findings will result in the discovery that our conservation measures in the past decade have had measurable, beneficial impacts on wildlife in Florida," said Dr. Elsa Haubold, who heads up the FWC's threatened-species listing process team.
Ten currently listed mammals have undergone the preliminary status reviews, and initial results indicate that five species do not meet listing criteria. These species include:
Four of 21 currently state-listed birds also do not meet the criteria:
The biological status review groups found that the following bird and mammal species met at least one of the listing criteria:
Haubold cautions this is only the first step in the careful process of studying the status of these species. After all 61 species receive the scrutiny of the biological status review teams, composed of recognized experts and led by an FWC staff member, the reports will be sent for review to national and international experts for each wildlife species. However, before the Commission removes any species from the list, a management plan will have to be written and approved. One goal of the management plans is to ensure the species never reaches a high risk of extinction again, which would result in the need to re-list the species.
The reviews in Florida are still under way for many of the remaining 61 species, and the preliminary findings will be available sometime in early December. The Commission could consider staff recommendations as early as April.
"This is a huge effort on the part of the teams, and the process is working very well," Haubold said. "But this does not mean our work is done - far from it. We still have lots to do to ensure no species ever goes extinct in Florida."
One of the species reviewed was the Florida black bear, which is currently listed as threatened in Florida. The biological review group found black bear numbers have increased and the population is not in decline. However, before any change in status is made, several steps must be completed, including developing a management plan that ensures the species will continue to thrive in the future.
The FWC is currently accepting public and stakeholder input on the draft bear-management plan to make sure it contains the best possible objectives and strategies to conserve Florida black bears.
"When a species is delisted - no longer in danger of extinction - it is truly a reason to celebrate," Haubold said. "It means Florida's past efforts to increase protected and well-managed habitat, educate the public and manage the population have resulted in the very best possible scenario: a species brought back from a high risk of extinction."
FWC Facts:Gopher frogs will travel great distances, up to a mile or more, to breed in temporary ponds year-round, laying eggs in shallow water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CamoPinkie Easy Set Up
The instructions I found was in Spanish/French luckily I was able to read french. Later on did I notice the English sewn inside the bag, very convenient for those who lose things. The tent popped up with no problem, by myself it took me 20mins since I am a short person. Only one problem was that the straps for the bag I do fear will break in time. One of the straps that clips close, that is part of the carrying case, did start to come out at the seems but all well its not part of the handle and an easy sew job. I would recommend this tent to anyone.

AIL newcomers Skerries creeped up to mid-table with this draw at Liam Fitzgerald Park last Saturday - despite losing 2-0 on the try count to hosts Thomond.
John Murphy's charges were poised for a narrow victory which would have lifted them into eight spot, but then conceded a lastgasp try and only for a missed conversion they would have suffered their third defeat from four outings. After a bright morning and just prior to the 2.30pm drop-out the darkest of dark clouds rolled in from the Atlantic and deposited a substantial amount of its contents on the pitch in Limerick. With conditions far from ideal the visitors had the breeze in the first half but lost their openside Ronan Connolly with just 10 minutes gone following a heavy tackle. Thomond were the livelier of the two teams in the loose and their well-drilled maul made good headway at times, leaving the visitors in their wake. Despite this, Skerries' defence held until the half-hour when the Munster side used the maul to good effect and rumbled over for a try from 15 metres out following a lineout. Thomond's full back and captain made the score 7-3 with the successful conversion, Conal Keane having opened the scoring with a penalty kick, and Keane took two more opportunities before the turnaround to give Skerries a narrow 9-7 advantage. However, with the half almost at an end the away side were reduced to 14 players when Mark Hewitt, who had a fine game overall, saw yellow following an instinctive reaction to his opposite number's sidestep which the referee deemed punishable. The wind eased somewhat for the second half, but the showery rain continued, making the conditions very greasy, preventing a fast, open game developing. Nevertheless, the visitors made light of those 10 minutes when they were a man short and began to get to grips with the task at hand. They had the majority of territory and possession for most of the second period and Conal Keane slotted his fourth penalty of the afternoon to increase the gap to five points. But it simply wasn't enough, and from what was possibly their only attack of note in the entire half, Thomond conjured another try through excellent rucking play and some poor handling from the visitors. To Skerries' relief the conversion, which would have won it for Thomond at the death, fell narrowly wide. Both sides have reasons to look on this match with frustration and the draw is an irksome outcome to any contest, but a draw offers a few crumbs of comfort as Skerries begin preparations for a tough test at home to joint leaders Armagh on Saturday week.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Glad I'm not the only one confused by reference to the "big pole in the center of the room". Does this mean the whole circular walkway on which Auriaya pats?
We always pull at the bannister like everyone else does, but tend to fall apart later (in 25-man) when somebody vital gets pounced after terrifying screech. If there's an alternative kiting method being advocated here I'd like to see it mapped.
