Julian Speroni signs new contract with Crystal Palace
Updated 4:49pm Friday 13th June 2014 in Sport By Chris Baynes, Reporter
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni has signed a new contract with the club.
The Argentinian stopper today signed a one-year deal to take him into his 10th season at Selhurst Park.
The 35-year-old's contract expired this summer and he had been linked with a move away from south London.
The new deal includes an option for a further 12-month contract extension.
Speroni said: "I'm delighted. This is my home. This is where I always wanted to be, so I'm really pleased.
"I've been saying for months and months this was always my first choice. I'm really pleased we can forget about what happened, deal with it and look forward to next season now.
"The expectation will grow as long as we stay in the Premier League, but we are going to do our best, of course, try to stay in the league again and finish as high as we can."
Fan-favourite Speroni, who was this season named Palace's player of the year for a record fourth time, has clocked up his 321 appearance for the club.

Horn of Africa drought and famine
Camp Dadaab photo gallery

Thousands have fled the severe drought in Somalia in search of basic necessities. Many of the refugees have arrived at the world's largest refugee settlement in Dadaab, Kenya. To make room at the already crowded camp, an extension has been added. Families in the new extension prepare food and take shelter. Relief in the form of rain is not expected until December.

The technology chief at the state Department of Health and Services told legislators Tuesday the agency's new computer system for processing Medicaid claims is working well, despite a critical audit and complaints from medical professionals.
Chief Information Officer Joe Cooper said the state staffers overseeing the NCTracks system should be "congratulated on seeing this project through a successful launch." Cooper said the agency is constantly making improvements to the system, but that on the whole, it is performing well.
That assessment is in sharp contrast to an audit of the NCTracks system released Monday by State Auditor Beth Wood. The audit said the system continues to fall short on addressing defects months after coming online in July and on completing government-mandated changes on time.
The auditor's report, which examined NCTracks operations through October, said the software has encountered more than 3,200 program defects and that contractor Computer Services Corporation has an "inadequate framework" to address the problems.
Doctors and dentists who serve Medicaid patients have complained loudly about NCTracks, saying routine reimbursement claims too often are delayed, if they are paid at all. The North Carolina Medical Society, which represents the state's doctors, issued a statement Monday expressing hope the new audit would spur "definitive action" to "fix NCTracks once and for all."
Cooper made no direct mention of the audit during his presentation, but did note that about 80 percent of the software defects identified so far have been corrected.
"Our first priority has been and will continue to be to reimburse all providers that continue to serve our state's most vulnerable citizens," Cooper said.
Cooper said the system has paid more than $4 billion in claims so far in the current fiscal year, a number similar to what was paid out in the same period last year under the old system.
More than $255 million in state and federal funds have been spent on the project so far, with costs budgeted to grow to $484 million by 2020.
Wood, a Democrat, sat in the audience during Cooper's presentation. Her spokesman, Bill Holmes, said afterwards that Wood had sent word to the Republican chairman of the legislative oversight committee that she was available to answer any questions, but was told that "would not be necessary."
Wood said afterward she disagreed with Cooper's characterization that the NCTracks rollout was "successful."
"Our office has seen no evidence to support that statement," Wood said. "In fact, I have three audits that contradict that statement."
Democratic Senate leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, said Tuesday he is still hearing from medical providers having chronic problems with NCTracks, nearly half a year after its launch.
He expressed concern to that Republican legislators weren't pressing hard enough to fix the buggy software out of concern for embarrassing the GOP administration of Gov. Pat McCrory.
"I think the auditor has hit the nail on the head," Nesbitt said.
Nesbitt said there needs to be a "firm discussion" on NCTracks. He said North Carolina is running "the imminent risk" of beginning to lose caregivers.
"As I read the audit, the auditor is questioning a lack of real goals to solve the problem and that's what this committee has been upset about from the beginning," Nesbitt said. "And basically, they have targets which may or may not be met, but I believe the thrust of the audit is we're not getting anywhere really fast."
Nesbitt called it "a very real threat" that the state could start to lose providers.
"They've maintained for years that they lose money on Medicaid patients, but they're willing to do that because that's better than people not paying at all," Nesbitt said in an interview with WNCN. "And that's helpful to them, because basically we provide that everybody has to be cared for especially at the hospitals, so they're will to do it.
"Now they're saying, 'If I have to wait 90 days, if I've got to front the money for 90 days to pursue this losing proposition, I'm not going to do it. The state should pay us in a timely manner, if they're going to set the rates where they are or it's simply just not worth doing. I can't afford to finance the state of North Carolina.'
"And I've said this over and over again here, we're the biggest consumer in the state of North Carolina. If we don't pay our bills, the economy cannot recover."

Boyd Gaines, Rebecca Luker and Tiler Peck Cast in World Premiere of New Musical Little Dancer
By Andrew Gans
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has announced initial casting for its world-premiere musical production of Little Dancer, which will play the Eisenhower Theater in October 2014.
The cast will be headed by four-time Tony Award winner Boyd Gaines as Edgar Degas, three-time Tony Award nominee Rebecca Luker as Adult Marie von Goethem and New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck as Young Marie von Goethem.
The musical features book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Lynn Ahrens, music by Tony Award winner Stephen Flaherty and direction and choreography by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman.
Additional casting and details will be announced at a later date.
"Part fact, part fiction, and set in the harsh backstage world of the Paris Opera Ballet," Little Dancer, according to the Kennedy Center, "is inspired by the young ballerina who posed for Edgar Degas and became, inadvertently, the most famous dancer in the world. Torn by her family's poverty, her debt to the artist and the lure of wealthy men, Marie struggles to keep her place in the ballet corps—a girl on the verge of womanhood, caught between the conflicting demands of life and art."
The production will have set design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington, sound design by Kai Harada, with music supervision by David Loud and conducted by James Moore.
During the current 2013-2014 season, the Kennedy Center will produce a revival of Side Show in association with La Jolla Playhouse, June 14-July 15, 2014. With direction by Academy Award winner Bill Condon, the musical features book and lyrics by Bill Russell and music by Henry Krieger, who are making revisions to the show before its debut in La Jolla this fall.

December 19, 2003, 07:03 AM
With the release of his movie Peter Pan, we have a new interview with Harry Potter actor Jason Issacs:
Alas, he is not in the next Harry Potter film - his character was not in the story. But Malfoy is in the next book and he's keeping his fingers crossed that the character will be in that film.
"You know, it's a bit of a scream to go into the make-up room and see the cream of the British acting world sitting there. Personally, I'd just be happy just making the tea for people like Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman."

PHP Master, chapter 1 (OOP)
Actually, I submitted this as an error, but maybe I better would have posted it here. At least nobody started off with calling me a monkey
I have a problem with the Courier and Parcel classes on one of the first pages in chapter 1.
In the constructor method of the Courier class it says: return true;
Now I would expect to have a boolean returned instead of an object, but in practice that is not true. You can also return false or 'abacadabra', it does not matter, but it gives the wrong message to newbie OOPs.
My second problem is the Parcel class. It has setCountry and setWeight methods, that return $this.
Why? From my Java background, setters should reuturn void (or NULL in PHP terms) and getters whatever you want to get.
Actually, I think, since there is a setter, there should also be a getter, and the properties weight and destinationcountry should be made protected.
Last comment: the autoload function says: strtolower for the filenames, but in my code archive, the names of the files start with uppercase. On my Windows system I would not notice, but if I would upload this to my website, it would mysteriously go wrong.
After this I stopped reading this chapter. I liked the security chapter though!

Regarding the constructor, you can't return anything there, since the constructor will always return the newly created object, regardless of what you say. This is indeed an error in the book.
Regarding the return $this, that's used to create a so called "fluid interface" where you can "chain" methods. i.e.,
PHP Code:
$parcel = new Parcel();
PHP Code:
$parcel = new Parcel();
This chaining is not used very much in PHP, but relied on heavily in javascript libraries like jQuery.
Regarding the autoloading thing, sadly that is indeed completely wrong as well.Rémon - Hosting Advisor

Between the ongoing college-football conference media days and the immediacy at which sports fans expect to get their news, we already know a number of schools who have fessed up to contacting current Penn State football players.
We've heard from Tennessee's Derek Dooley and Kansas' Charlie Weis. Alabama's Nick Saban said he would consider Nittany Lions players coming to Tuscaloosa "if somebody was interested," and Baylor head coach Art Briles told attendees at the Big 12 Media Day that he has been approached by one current Penn State player.
But while a number of schools will certainly speak with players over the next month, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez's pitch could be the most interesting.
As the former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines and West Virginia Mountaineers, Rodriguez has plenty of experience and knowledge recruiting that Mid-Atlantic and Midwest part of the country. Despite Tucson being more than 2300 miles away from central Pennsylvania, it could be the Arizona Wildcats that emerge as a major player in the Penn State Sweepstakes.
Rodriguez was candid during the Pac -12 Media Day on Tuesday, saying he's spoken with "a couple guys, because we know 'em," and added that his current Wildcats coaching staff knows "more than a dozen" players currently on the Nittany Lions' roster, based on their time spent pounding the recruting trail in previous years.
He and his staff could position the opportunity as one of a fresh start. A move to a different part of the country that allows a player to work with a coaching staff with roots back east.
Who knows how many current Penn State players will actually transfer, there's an argument to be made that Rodriguez's Tucson oasis emerges as the most appealing.

One of the most reliable Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) warhorses in recent years, Chris Leben has delivered some of the most memorable mixed martial arts (MMA) knockouts, particularly in fights where he looks on the precipice of doom.
"The Crippler" will attempt to add his opponent at UFC 155 later tonight (Dec. 29, 2012), Derek Brunson, to that highlight-reel with the two Middleweight fighters sling leather inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Brunson still has a way to go before maximizing his potential, and the former standout college wrestler will have to prove at least serviceable on the feet to set up takedowns. In his Octagon debut, Brunson can erase the memories of a one-sided knockout loss to Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Ronaldo Souza, and before that, a decision loss to the faded Kendall Grove.
Leben is certainly willing to test him if he can keep it standing, though Brunson has to know that's not to his advantage. The more boring this fight is, the better Brunson's chances are of pulling off the upset.
Check out a complete breakdown of the first UFC 155 main card Middleweight match up between Chris Leben vs. Derek Brunson below:
The Breakdown
Leben might be in the last phase of a career where the damage and general mileage of his lifestyle catch up to him. One of his best traits has always been a never-say-die attitude, no matter how hopelessly behind he's been in fights.
Brunson, for his part, shouldn't underrate Leben's solid takedown defense, nor should be tempted to pounce in for an apparent finish should he land big on the feet -- unlikely given his modest stand up -- because that is when Leben is most dangerous.
Judges tend to be swayed by forceful takedowns and top control in absence of meaningful striking exchanges or when the standing phase of the bout doesn't indicate a clear winner. The guy on top can park in guard or half-guard, work enough to avoid stand up, and get a decision. And that's exactly the gameplan Brunson should have in mind, even if it appears Leben is on his last legs as a fighter.
The Pick
Leben's a cagey veteran, and has to factor in the possibility of getting wrestle-smashed early. But he'll pick his spots, winging in with occasional big left hands, while Brunson counters with tie-ups and takedowns.
Defensively, Leben's underrated guard should be enough to keep him in the fight long enough for a restart or two, and he should be able to land enough standing to deter Brunson from an extended firefight on the feet.
However, Brunson's takedown ability and just enough scoring from top position should be enough to wear down the veteran en route to a late cut stoppage or decision win.
Brunson via technical knockout or decision
Remember that MMAmania.com will provide LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the UFC 155 main card action later this evening (Sat., Dec. 29, 2012), which is slated to begin at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view (PPV). The latest quick updates of the live action will begin to flow earlier than that around 6:30 p.m. ET with the "Prelims" bouts on Facebook and FX Channel.

The family farm may not be dead, but it is surely on life support. Today's farms are technological marvels from the equipment to the inputs to the techniques.
Today's farm hands—once children rising before dawn to feed the chickens and milk the cows—have rapidly evolved from manual labourers to skilled technicians.
And, there are simply not enough of them.
Last week, the federal and provincial governments took a step toward addressing the need announcing $200,000 in 60/40 funding to help Parkland College develop an agricultural operator program.
"This, I think, is extremely important to the agricultural industry in Saskatchewan," said Lyle Stewart, Saskatchewan agriculture minister, who traveled to Yorkton to make the announcement. "One of the main problems the industry has faced in recent years is attracting skilled labour, people that are able to perform the functions that are required on a modern farm and there hasn't been, until now, a training program in place."
The initial program, developed in partnership with Vermilion, Alberta's Lakeland College, will comprise three modules, seeding, spraying and scouting and harvesting.
There are 15 spots available at a tuition rate of $1,500 per module.
Classes in the seeding program will begin March 3. The spraying module will follow in May and the harvesting unit in July.
Fay Myers, Parkland president and CEO, said the college anticipates good uptake for the program based on interest in a similar program called Inroads to Agriculture targeting First Nations students.
"It is exactly what is needed for Saskatchewan, for this type of farm operators program," she said. "There's been huge interest in the last two years we have delivered this program here in Yorkton and on Keeseekoose First Nation."
Stewart said Parkland College was a natural choice to deliver the pilot.
"It's hard to find a better fit," he said. "It's here in an agricultural setting; it's a modern campus that had some capacity. So, Parkland was interested and we were certainly interested in working with Parkland."
Darrell Hickman, Lakeland College chair of agricultural sciences promised it will be a practical introduction.
"The partnership with Parkland has been tremendous," he said. "We have worked with them to take pieces of our program, our curriculum, and develop that into a level at which the introductory person can take that in a hands-on fashion and have some lab experiences along the way."
Initially, it will be Lakeland that issues the accreditation for the program, but Stewart envisions it eventually becoming a Parkland diploma course and said it may expand to also include livestock sciences as early as 2015.

The city of Brookhaven has officially launched its new police department. They'll take over patrols from DeKalb County.A formal ceremony was held on Wednesday morning at Town Brookhaven, along with the new department's first-ever roll call.
The new force was created in a little over three months. The city received 1,200 applicants. They parried that down to 156 interviews and chose the 54 officers, who were sworn in by the mayor on July 15. Lt. Brian Gurley said they trained hard to get down to three minute response times for each 911 emergency call. Brookhaven will operate the new police department out of the municipal court building on Buford Highway for now. They are in negotiations for a bigger standalone command center.

Ecclestone optimistic about a Dubai F1 team after Emirates sponsorship deal
Bernie Ecclestone believes an Emirates-backed Formula One team is the next logical step after the airline announced a five-year sponsorship deal with the spectacle of speed.
The sponsorship, reportedly worth $180 million, includes 15 races this season starting in Malaysia. The 2013 campaign kicks off on March 17 in Australia, one of four Grands Prix not included in the agreement along with Monaco, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
And while Ecclestone admitted it's unlikely Dubai would have a race of its own in the near future, the F1 supremo does believe it could have the next best thing.
"I think [owning a team is] quite a natural thing to do," said Ecclestone, who was in the emirate for the announcement. "If they feel they that's what they want to expand into that area of a team. Emirates a long time ago used to sponsor McLaren."
Emirates had a brief association with the British manufacturer when it sponsored them for the 2006 season. Speaking of the experience, HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and chief executive of Emirates, described it as positive and did not rule out such a move in the future.
"We always like to be associated with the top sports and Formula One is one of the top sports around the world," Sheikh Ahmed said. Tuesday's announcement continues Emirates' aggressive sponsorship drive on major sports. It's already an official partner with FIFA and recently singed deals with French football club Paris Saint-Germain as well as the ATP.
As part of its deal with F1, Emirates branding will be displayed on circuit bridges and ground signs and will also make full use of the Paddock Club. "For many years, Emirates has been at the forefront of sports partnerships across the world," Sheik Ahmed said. "With the addition of this global partnership with the Formula One group we are continuing to expand our sponsorship portfolio, which I'm sure will be appreciated by sports fans."
Ecclestone added: "The teams will benefit from this, it certainly lifts everyone in Formula One, not just our company."

Cheeseboro is one of those wide receivers that does many things well and is extremely reliable and productive as both an outside and inside receiver. He has adequate size and lean build. Displays good burst off the line and very good top end speed for the position. Gets into routes quickly. He has a knack for getting deep and running by DB's that do not respect his top end speed. Is also a solid route runner both inside and out in the short and intermediate passing game. Is precise and does a nice job breaking off sharp cuts and is able to create separation at the top of the stem on option, comebacks, digs and curl routes. He shows consistent, quality hands with a willingness to go over the middle. Tucks quickly and consistently extends away from his frame to haul in passes. Has flashed the ability to make catches in traffic and when covered. While Cheeseboro makes plays and is reliable, he is not necessarily sudden or explosive in the open field. After the catch if he gets a seam he can make some things happen, but when in a short area he does not always show the change-of-direction necessary to make people miss consistently. Takes some time to gather when putting together moves in the open field. As a result, he may not make as many plays after the catch at the next level as he does here. Cheeseboro is a good prospect and you know what you are going to get from him play-to-play.Tyrek Cheeseboro's ESPN Evaluation (they gave him a 75, FWIW)

Till appears to be even taller than his physical dimensions. He is extremely active and can run well for a tall and lanky defensive back. Displays excellent range and can cover a lot of territory with his quick reactions and long strides. Closes fast on run support and attacks the ball carrier from the inside out and takes away the cutback because of the tempo he keeps on the runner. Likes to play it physical and can really unload on the opponent; tackles a little high at times but has good explosion on contact. Breaks instantly on passes thrown in front of him from the free safety position. Can get up into the air to make a play on the football; has the soft hands to come down with the interception and the running ability to make important yards after the pick. Equally as gifted on offense as a wide receiver. Has confidence and toughness to catch the ball in a crowd. Runs sharp routes and is quick out of the break. A solid contributor on special teams coverage units. Till is a very steady athlete that is a play maker both sides of the football. He should be able to be a very productive player in the secondary at the next level.ESPN's evaluation of MD Commit Titus Till. Till was rated a 78, FWIW, which isn't bad.
Pitt has received a verbal commitment from T.J. Clemmings, a 6-foot-6, 265-pound defensive end from Paterson (N.J.) Catholic. Clemmings made an unofficial visit to Pitt this past weekend, and chose the Panthers over scholarship offers from Florida, Miami, Notre Dame, Penn State, Rutgers and Tennessee. Clemmings has played only one season of high school football, yet is ranked the nation's No. 24 defensive end prospect by Scout.com and No. 31 by Rivals.com.Even though they didn't name Maryland, the Terps were supposed to be one his favorite schools. Clemmings was one of the few four stars on Maryland's board. Football recruiting is looking pretty terrible right now. -via Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Three star cornerback Louis Young (Good Counsel HS, Olney MD) made a verbal commitment to the Cardinal back in October, but had backed off that decision in recent months. Now, however, he's back, and seemingly for good: "I'm done talking visits. This is my commitment. This is official – it's done and it's a wrap. I don't need to see anywhere else."Top in-state prospect Louis Young has recommitted to Stanford...and just like that, another top target down. I said it earlier, I'll say it again - instate recruiting is looking rough this year (and I'll say again, I don't care where we get our players, though it'd be nice to have some guys stay home). -via The Bootleg (premi article, but the headline and lead say it all anyway)

By STEVE OUELLETTE, You Had To Ask
---- — The first specials and displays began to appear right after the Fourth of July weekend.
Down came the red, white and blue bunting, the mini flags, the patriotic T-shirts, the sparklers, the George Washington and Ben Franklin life-size cardboard cutouts, all of the the "USA! USA! USA!" novelty items manufactured in China.
Up went the replacement displays. Three-ring binders. Notebooks. Protractors. Highlighters. Glue sticks. No. 2 pencils. No. 37 pencils. Pencils of all colors and sizes. It was a back-to-school sale, prominent enough to stop the heart of a young child.
My own son stared at it with wide, unbelieving eyes.
"But … but … but dad, we just got out of school, didn't we?" he sputtered. "It's not starting again, is it? Tell me it isn't starting again. The pain! The pain!"
He then began to hyperventilate, while a store employee warmed up the portable defibrillator.
Understand that to this point we hadn't had a day of summer sunshine, not a single 24-hour period of unfettered warmth. It was barely two weeks into what he thought would be a long, relaxing break from the rigors of academic study.
Instead, persistent offers of 50-cent discounts on erasers and buy one, get one free paper clips were infringing on his ability to relax.
I know that summer can be a rough time for advertisers. Once we get past Independence Day, there are no other holidays — not even one of those artificially manufactured ones like Valentine's Day or Father's Day — until Labor Day.
Unfortunately, what would be the point of advertising Labor Day sales items two months in advance? None. What kind of products would a store push for Labor Day? Come and get your work uniform specials? Fifty percent off union pamphlets?
I've tried offering up my August birthday as another potential advertising target — a bridge between holidays — but major retailers have been slow to embrace that idea.
So, as Christmas is unopposed in the sales circulars beginning the day after Halloween, Back to School sales are unchallenged from the first week of July through the early part of September.
It's simply unfair to saddle young children with this kind of stress, unless stores are prepared to offer counseling services along with their loose-leaf paper.
Already my own son refuses to go into most stores. He'll hang out in the oven-like car with the windows closed, terrified that I'm going to buy some 3-by-5 index cards and/or a calculator. His back-to-school nightmares are becoming more frequent. He often wakes up with the unexplained taste of paste in his mouth, and once I caught him madly waving a pair of safety scissors while walking in his sleep.
This weekend is still more than five weeks away from the start of school, but I bet today's newspaper inserts are full of back-to-school specials. I, however, will be boycotting these sales until late August, and I urge all other parents to do likewise — no matter how low the price of pocket protectors goes.
In fact, for the balance of the summer, I believe retailers should restrict access to all school-related products. If you really need a stapler or a pencil sharpener or a dictionary, it's behind the counter with the cigarettes, and you have to ask for it.
Or, taking a tip from the video-rental industry, a special dimly lit "adults only" room can be cordoned off behind a black curtain, where parents can buy rulers and erasable pens far from the probing eyes of their children.
Early back-to-school sales may save you a few pennies, but they are detrimental to the psychological well-being of our children. They're not very pleasant reminders for teachers either. Please, don't spoil summer.

Comment: Re:My old PSP fat is awesome. (Score 1) 85
(reposting as I accidentally sent AC)
There are several Linux/Android based handhelds which are exactly this. It started with the GP32 and GP2X (later Wiz / Canoo) and they gained quite a following. Today the alternatives are the NVidia Shield (bulky, but has Android on a powerful GPU) , and the planned successor of the OpenPandora (this one didn't do well due to production issues).
Problem with the above was snobs saying their PSP/NDS could do all that. Kind of true, but the difference is these are completely open platforms. No dedicated (good) first-party games though.

Political parties
The Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party (FL) was a left-wing American political party in Minnesota between 1918 and 1944. Largely dominating Minnesota politics during the Great Depression, it was one of the most successful statewide third party movements in United States history and the longest-lasting affiliate of the national Farmer-Labor movement. At its height in the 1920s and 1930s, party members included three Minnesota Governors, four United States Senators, eight United States Representatives and a majority in the Minnesota legislature.
In 1944, Hubert H. Humphrey and Elmer Benson worked to merge the party with the state's Democratic Party, forming the contemporary Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.[1]
The Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party emerged from the Non-Partisan League in North Dakota and the Union Labor Party in Duluth, Minnesota on a platform of farmer and labor union protection, government ownership of certain industries, and social security laws.[2] One of the primary obstacles of the party, besides constant vilification on the pages of local and state newspapers, was the difficulty of uniting the party's divergent base and maintaining political union between rural farmers and urban laborers who often had little in common other than the populist perception that they were an oppressed class of hardworking producers exploited by a small elite. According to political scientist George Mayer:
- "The farmer approached problems as a proprietor or petty capitalist. Relief to him meant a mitigation of conditions that interfered with successful farming. It involved such things as tax reduction, easier access to credit, and a floor under farm prices. His individualist psychology did not create scruples against government aid, but he welcomed it only as long as it improved agricultural conditions. When official paternalism took the form of public works or the dole, he openly opposed it because assistance on such terms forced him to abandon his chosen profession, to submerge his individuality in the labor crew, and to suffer the humiliation of the bread line. Besides, a public works program required increased revenue, and since the state relied heavily on the property tax, the cost of the program seemed likely to fall primarily on him.
- At the opposite end of the seesaw sat the city worker, who sought relief from the hunger, exposure, and disease that followed the wake of unemployment. Dependent on an impersonal industrial machine, he had sloughed off the frontier tradition of individualism for the more serviceable doctrine of cooperation through trade unionism. Unlike the depressed farmer, the unemployed worker often had no property or economic stake to protect. He was largely immune to taxation and had nothing to lose by backing proposals to dilute property rights or redistribute the wealth. Driven by the primitive instinct to survive, the worker demanded financial relief measures from the state."[3]
The Minnesota Democratic Party, led by Hubert Humphrey, was able to merge the Farmer–Labor party with the Minnesota Democratic Party on April 15, 1944. Since 1944, the two parties together make up the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
- Governors of Minnesota who were Farmer–Labor
- Floyd B. Olson (1931–1936)
- Hjalmar Petersen (1936–1937)
- Elmer Austin Benson (1937–1939)

- Henrik Shipstead (1923–1941); later became a Republican
- Magnus Johnson (1923–1925)
- Elmer Austin Benson (1935–1937)
- Ernest Lundeen (1937–1940)

Go get 'em, Atherton! It is high time that the cost of these political junkets get put back to the politicians/political parties/political patrons who benefit from them. Why should the general citizenry pay for this political fundraising?

"Why should the general citizenry pay for this political fundraising?"
Actually, I would rather the American citizenry pay for all political advertising and costs.
The way it currently stands, obscene amounts of money are raised without the approval of the citizenry. The money comes from the Atherton residents listed above, also from George Soros and indirectly from large corporations. In the last election, one man - Sheldon Adelson, spent $100 million. What favors does one owe a man who spent $100 million to get you eleccted?
With the advent of the 503c4 superpacs, obscenely huge donations can be used to buy favors from our politicians, and done so anonymously. Both liberal and conservative c4's raised hundreds of millions of dollars and spent those on advertising that did not list who funded those ads. Who's paying for and running this almost anonymous advertising?
A corporation? George Soros, Adelson or a union? A felon who can't even vote? A foreign country? Who knows? You and I certainly don't know, but we both know that Romney and Obama certainly know who they owe favors to!
So yes, I rather every tax payer pay a couple a bucks for political advertising and have the politicians OWE US THE FAVOR! Not Exxon. Not George Soros. Not Koch Industries. Not public sector unions. A publicly financed campaign would have nothing to hide, and would owe a favor only to the taxpayer.
As for Atherton being reimbursed? Nice try. Pass a law and have future events paid for by those throwing the party. Or tack it on to the special events ordinance.
on Jun 7, 2013 at 2:21 pm
Why should fund raising be treated any differently than any other private event. It isn't open to the general public, rather only those who are "invited".
To take a line from Mac Barne -- "As for Atherton being reimbursed? ....Pass a law and have future events paid for by those throwing the party. Or tack it on to the special events ordinance."
Local municipalities should consider this option.
on Jun 7, 2013 at 5:37 pm
Did they charge for Romney's Atherton visit during the campaign? Did Hillsborough or Pebble Beach charge Romney?
Oh yes.. Do Atherton police charge for picking up the mail of wealthy vacationing residents?
on Jun 7, 2013 at 7:15 pm
The check will never be in the mail.
on Jun 7, 2013 at 8:25 pm
As usual, Atherton first in line for money and last when it has to dole it out !
on Jun 8, 2013 at 1:23 pm
Squidy - too funny & too true! A bunch of wealthy whiners - puhhlease! As Mac says, if folks want to be reimbursed, pass a law. I've no respect for the whining w/hands out instead of real action. As well, I, too, would rather pay for these things that have ALL the monies come from lobbyists, Superpacs & the wealthy. And how come the whiners didn't start whining about this before a black man was elected POTUS??
on Jun 8, 2013 at 7:52 pm
It is a shame that local towns have to devote scarce police time and dollars so some politicians can spend an hour with our local rich so they can refill their campaign bank accounts. When they raise a few million dollars over a cocktail reception, the least they can do is reimburse the local community the few thousand dollars they spend on police to keep the riff-raff at large. As someone noted, it's no different from needing police to help with any other large private event. Pay the bill.
And I don't distinguish by political party or race or the town their hitting up for cash. There aren't a lot of unallocated local tax dollars these days and the benefitting political party should foot that bill.
on Jun 8, 2013 at 8:41 pm
Atherton spends a lot of $$ for nonsense Police call responses -- which many Peninsula residents, and others, read regularly for laughs.
For example, a recent Atherton police call = "Resident notices her normally easygoing dog pacing and barking and asks police to check the property. Holbrook Lane. Police do not find anything suspicious."
Not to mention regular Police reports like "car parked on street" (I guess someone found a spot without large rocks placed to prevent public parking) -- or -- "Person walking down street" (which is a regular call).
PULEEZ: I would think that helping to ensure the safety of the President of the United States would be a good (and rare) professional experience for Atherton officers.
And a reminder: Romney didn't reimburse the cops, and I don't believe Whitman did either.
on Jun 8, 2013 at 9:25 pm
I would think that they would charge the party who requested the services. That's how the rest of the world works.
on Jun 9, 2013 at 9:47 am
Police are a public safety agency paid for by the public -- they are ALREADY paid to respond to events in the town that have public safety effects.
Not sure that picking up residents' mail has a public safety component. How about charging for that?
on Jun 10, 2013 at 9:31 am
Sunnyvale / Mtn View road clousres, 101, 237 and the M Airfield all cost 10x what Atherton paid. Ask for that check too.
on Jun 10, 2013 at 1:21 pm
> all cost 10x what Atherton paid.
Imagine the costs in So Cal, with both Obama and the Chinese president and all the security for those meetings this weekend. The head of communist China must have required a heck of a lot of security.
or are we only interested in whining about the brotha?
on Jun 10, 2013 at 8:09 pm
There is a big difference which is clearly lost on many of you.
The political fundraising events we are describing in Atherton are PRIVATE events. These events are not even OFFICIAL functions and they are not open to the public. It is no different than some very wealthy family having a huge party and closing down a street. Wouldn't you expect the party-givers to pay for their own security?
These are not public events or official events. They are simply a private person holding a party to raise money for a private organization. Nothing more... and there is no obligation for taxpayers to foot that bill.
on Jun 10, 2013 at 8:54 pm
These events are open to anyone that can pay to attend. The event did not happen on the street, or close down the street. If Atherton police decide not to show up next time, the secret service will certainly have it handled.
on Jun 10, 2013 at 10:10 pm
I'm all for Atherton getting repaid for a political fundraiser, but people seem to be missing the notion that the APD was not asked to provide security for this function. It was handled by the CHP, San Mateo Sheriff, and Secret Service. Without trying to demean the APD, it's hard to imagine they are prepared for this type of security situation. Next time, IF ASKED, Atherton should respond that it will provide the security for a price. Hard to charge for something that was never requested.
on Jun 11, 2013 at 10:45 am
Love the race card being pulled here on some of the comments. Keep making excuses and you never have to be accountable!
on Jun 11, 2013 at 11:36 am
Last poster..... Who, besides you, played what race card?
Calm down
on Jun 11, 2013 at 12:51 pm
Why do our politicians have to go around whoring themselves for money? Endless requests for money. Huge effort spent on money.
Let's cut them all off from the trough. It's not "freedom of speech" it's legalized bribery.
FREE the elections. Use our FREE public airways and make representation of each person and corporation EQUAL. Let's see how fast the ones making extra money in government get out to find jobs they figure are worth their time. Keep the politicians who are there to work and represent us.
Both parties. Stop the endless prostitution and begging!

"Confounding factor" states:

I am afraid you are totally in error about this statement that Atherton and it's police department were not asked to provide security for the POTUS visit. They are trained in VIP visits and have done so for many years. The APD along with the Secret Service were the lead agencies planning and directing the details of the visit. The fact is that APD does not have the resources and staff to handle the demands of the visit and at the same time be available to handle service calls from residents. Other agencies supplement security at the request of the Secret Service.
The following is the City manager's detail of the cost as presented to the City Council. It includes APD costs of overtime and additional duty.
President of the United States (POTUS) Visit
On Thursday, April 4, 2013 President Barack Obama was the guest of honor at two local private
fundraisers. Below is a breakdown of what it cost to the Town to cover the POTUS event. The
final cost for the Town (Police and Public Works) including work prior to the event, the event
itself, and clean-up after the event is $7,616.41.
Public Works Costs
4/2 - Prep Work (9 hours) $675.00
4/2 - Equipment Cost $91.00
4/4 Staff Hours (16 hours) $1,432.00
4/4 Equipment $121.00
4/5 Clean-Up (7.5 hours) $56.00
4/5 Equipment $60.00
Public Safety Costs
3/27 IAP Prep Work (3 hours) $195.00
3/28 IAP Prep Work (3 hours) $195.00
4/1 IAP Prep & Helicopter Land (8 hours) $520.00
4/2 IAP Prep (8 hours) $520.00
4/3 IAP Prep & CP Setup (9 hours) $585.00
4/4 POTUS Detail (14 hours) $1003.25

4/4 POTUS Detail (SGT Cost) $1171.16

Atherton has as much chance of getting reimbursed by Obama as the California Republican Party has of getting $1,000 donations from: Tom Gibboney, Heyward Robinson, Kelly Fergusson, Gail Slocum, and Mitch Slomiac. It ain't gonna happen!
on Jun 11, 2013 at 4:05 pm
SteveC is a registered user.
So where is the bill for Meg Whitman??? did she pay for the extra police services in Atherton?
on Jun 11, 2013 at 4:32 pm
Who cares that Atherton had to pony up minus 10k? Quit whining or change your laws.
on Jun 11, 2013 at 4:33 pm
Why are there 9 and 10 hour "officer details" listed above, separate from prep, when the president was only on the ground for 2 hours?
on Jun 11, 2013 at 4:40 pm
@ Fat Chance: the California Republican Party is bankrupt. They are not paying vendors, laid off people.
The party of small business and the free market is STIFFING the small businesses that helped them!
" SacBee: Brulte: California GOP debt could be as high as $800,000 - February 14, 2013 at 8:13 am
"To rebuild the California Republican Party, Jim Brulte will first have to climb out from under a mountain of debt.
The former GOP Senate leader, who is expected to take helm of the embattled party next month, said Wednesday that the CRP is between $500,000 and $800,000 in the red, a figure he says could vary based on the potential for legal battles with former vendors.
"This is more like a bankruptcy workout," Brulte said of setting up party infrastructure as chairman. "First of all you have to pay off your debt, hopefully while you're doing programs simultaneously. We have to increase our income and reduce our expenses, that's just prudent.""
wow - "This is more like a bankruptcy workout"
way to go, party of personal responsibility!
fiscal conservatives!!!
"This is more like a bankruptcy workout"

People keep forgetting that this is a private event that benefits a private organization. This is not charity or government.
The people hosting these private events, whether its for Meg Whitman or Barack Obama, should foot the bill for security. They raise a few million dollars in a couple of hours and they can easily throw a few thousand to the cities that bear the burden in terms of inconvenience and cost.

<i>The following is the City manager's detail of the cost as presented to the City Council. It includes APD costs of overtime and additional duty.
"4/5 Clean-Up (7.5 hours) $56.00"</i>
Did Atherton pay workers less than $7.5 a hour wage and benefits for clean up ?!?
And n March the City donated $10,000 to a HSR lawsuit.

If the APD was asked to lead security, and Atherton wants to submit the bill after the event, rather than get it agreed to up front, shame on Atherton. Not the right way (or the smart way) to do it.
It's a bit incongruous to learn the APD led security for the president of the USA according to their mailers and web missives, they don't have enough officers (because of lack of moolah) to cover what goes on in Atherton on any given night.

Psychology (ch 2)
Psychology, broadly construed, is concerned with the explanation of organisms' behavior. Early in its development, psychology was primarily pursued as a branch of philosophy. Psychology began to emerge as a distinct discipline with the 'introspectionists' of the late ninteenth century, commonly associated with Wilhelm Wundt. Introspectionism relied primarily upon subjects' verbal reports of their own conscious experience. Conversely, the heir to introspectionism, behaviorism, rejected the study of such 'inner' mental phenomena (consciousness, for example) as unscientific, and took as the goal of psychology the explanation of behavior in terms of laws linking input (stimuli) to ouput (responses).
Although behaviorism dominated the field for the first half of this century, many researchers began to doubt its ability to provide a satisfactory account of behavior, especially more complex behavior such as human linguistic abilities. Psychology today is of a much broader scope, covering a wide variety of mental phenomena and utilizing a range of experimental methods. Current topics include: memory, perception, learning, reasoning, language production and comprehension, problem solving, reading, attention, and a variety of mental disorders and impairments. In the interest of developing reliable conclusions, most psychological research is undertaken in controlled experimental settings and uses systematic methods.
Note: Psychology is often mistakenly identified with psychiatrywhich is a branch of medicine and subdivision of psychology concerned with the care and treatment of mental disorders.

One of the master suites is located on the main floor, one is located on the lower level adjacent to the large gameroom / living area, and two are located on the upper level.
The fifth bedroom is what we call the 'kid's room' although adults would certainly be comfortable there. This bedroom features a queen/queen bunk bed, flat screen TV with Blu-Ray player, and its own bathroom as well.
The kitchen on the main level includes everything you would need to cook a wonderful meal for your large gathering of family and friends. The kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, and many pots/pans/cooking supplies etc. We use this cabin as our home away from home and it has all of the same conveniences we would expect at our primary residence.

The living area on the main level is open to the kitchen and dining area, providing an even larger feel. Of course the cabin's high ceilings add to this effect of openness as well! The main level living area has two comfortable leather sofas (one of which folds out into a bed for extra guests), its own electric fireplace, 60 inch flat screen TV, and a Blu-Ray player.
The lower level game room / living area is an area where you, your family, and your friends will surely have a lot of fun. This area is fully equipped with everything you need to have a wonderful time! A large theater screen is in the lower level with a projector so you can spend time with your family and friends watching the latest and greatest Blu-Ray movie. Two comfortable leather sofas are in this area as well (one of which folds out for extra guests). Also in the lower level is a pool table (which is near an additional 65 inch flat screen TV), foosball, air hockey, and a Ms Pac-Man/Galaga arcade game. Hours of fun and enjoyment await you!
Our cabin has three large decks on the back side. Take a minute to sit outside snuggled up under a blanket in the fall and enjoy the mountain views. We of course have a hot tub on one of the decks for your enjoyment as well.
This is just a brief overview of what our home offers. Our cabin offers many of the other conveniences of home that you would expect such as a washer/dryer, cable, wifi, etc. If you have any questions about the accommodations we provide please ask!
We own and manage this property ourselves. We take great pride in our home. By staying at our cabin you can ensure that your vacation receives a great deal of attention from us.

The Dirt
Remember when Brian Lashoff was send back down to Grand rapids on Sunday? Just kidding, he's staying with the team. Because of the new CBA rules (which there's been a bit of confusion over), if the Wings send Lashoff down to Grand Rapids, the only way they can call him back up before the playoffs is in an emergency. In this case an emergency is defined as 3 defensemen being injured and unable to play. That being the case, the Wings decided to just keep Lashoff up.
Just a note, but with these new CBA rules in place, the Wings can't call Tomas Tatar up before the playoffs, unless 3 (I think) forwards were injured and unable to play.
Zetterberg practiced for a little while on Tuesday, but didn't participate in the optional skate this morning. That's not unusual since he's still nursing a sore groin.
There's some really exciting news on the Bertuzzi front. He been skating more and practicing with the team, and making progress. The kind of progress that lead him to say he may be ready to play on Monday against Phoenix. It's not certain, but it's more hope than we've had in a while, I'll take it.
Darren Helm has also been skating more and working into practice with the rest of the team, but still no indication that he'll be able to play this season.
Mikael Samuelsson was the only player not on the ice for practice yesterday, which means.... he's probably not playing soon.
There will be no Jerome Iginla nor Jay Bouwmeester for the Flames this time around, and Miikka Kiprusoff will start in net tonight for what could be his last home game. He has said he may retire at the end of the season, but nothing it certain yet. This means that unless Kipper gets pulled, we won't be seeing Joey MacDonald in net tonight.
