The village is top
priority for Katz
I met Jeff when he knocked on our door when first running for Trustee. Since then, I have appeared before him as a Trustee regarding various Village projects multiple times. I have worked with him specifically on my volunteer duties for the Village while he has been Deputy Mayor. I have also worked with him on volunteer projects for the Cooperstown Rotary Club. It is very clear that the Village is his first priority, with a desire to be fair with everyone. I truly believe he will make a fine Mayor.

Support Joe Booan for mayor
Joe Booan, a fourth generation Cooperstown native with longtime family ties, returned to his roots several years ago. His passion for our community and its citizens is clear, as evidenced by his volunteerism and involvement in the community.
Joe's professional and administrative savvy stand him in good stead. He is perceptive and effective and deserves recognition for his work while serving as a Trustee. His skills and vision provide the leadership necessary to help address the challenges facing the Village.
He is committed to the work it will take to ``preserve tradition while ensuring financial stability.'' He is aware of the need to examine the potential to pursue sustained economic growth and development as alternatives for the already tax-burdened residents of the Village _ without shifting unacceptable burdens on our future generation.
Joe is willing to give service to the Village and its citizens. His desire to serve is to work to find solutions to the problems we face that will benefit the community. He has served us well with his loyalty, professionalism, work ethic, knowledge about the Village and its citizens, and his commitment to help address the challenges facing the Village.
Please support Joe Booan for Mayor of Cooperstown.

Joe Booan is the right choice
Although we reside in Fly Creek, and cannot vote in the upcoming Mayoral election, we would like to show our support and share our observations of candidate Joe Booan. Joe is uniquely qualified, and without question, the right person to serve as the next mayor.
In his professional role as principal at OAOC BOCES, Joe is responsible for over 100 faculty and staff members and 450 students. He oversees two locations and yearly budgets exceeding $5 million. He works routinely with students, parents, administrators, community groups, and agencies at the local, state and federal level such as; OSHA, the Department of Transportation, NYS Police, the Otsego County Sheriff's Department, the Department of Environmental Conservations, as well as numerous area school districts, including Cooperstown Central School. His contacts within these organizations will be an invaluable resource for the village.
Joe is dedicated to the youth of this community. He spends countless hours volunteering with Cooperstown youth sports programs. He continually serves as a mentor and role model. We are confident that as mayor, Joe will make decisions that are not only right for the community, but also for the future of our children.
Joe is a third generation Cooperstonian. As a native, he has a unique perspective which will be beneficial when facing tough and controversial decisions. He Joe has the training and the experience for this multi-faceted position.
Joe is a problem solver and will serve Cooperstown residents well. He is positive, organized, hard working, dedicated, resourceful, budget minded and goal oriented.
Joe Booan is the right choice for Mayor of Cooperstown.

We need experience, availability
Cooperstown is a very beautiful village and a wonderful place to live. Because of its unique history and its importance to the health and financial success of Otsego County and the surrounding areas of Central New York, Cooperstown has government challenges far greater than typical given the modest size of the population.
We believe it is critical at this time to support the candidate with proven experience as a leader as well as round the clock availability. Jeff Katz has served for five years as trustee and two of those as deputy mayor.
He understands the needs the village is facing for improving an aging infrastructure and is willing to consider options to gain a fairer share of resources made on the popularity of Cooperstown as a destination.
He supports the potential of the village to become a city to keep our taxes local. He has fought for 24/7 police coverage and brought additional funds to the fire department. He has worked with the Parks Board and Friends of the Parks to improve the community and financially support the future through the Parks Reserve. He has protected taxpayer interests in insuring fair reimbursement for village resources.
As Chair of Doubleday he encouraged higher use fees producing more dollars that otherwise would have been needed from taxes.
Likewise he was an early proponent of paid parking to claim a fair share of tourism dollars. The 2009 receipts from Doubleday field parking produced the equivalent to a 6.7 percent tax increase.
We are very impressed with the support Jeff has garnered from both Democrats and Republicans. This is not politics as usual and speaks to Cooperstown being a village of involved and caring people.
On March 16 please support our future by voting for Jeff Katz _ the candidate with the experience we need.
Sally Graumlich and Tim Campbell
Katz has a history of service
British Statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke once observed, ``You can never plan the future by the past.'' He did however think that the behavior of an individual and an understanding of history helps to predict what we might expect in the future. Cooperstown needs people who understand the past to help us prepare us for the future. Jeff Katz has demonstrated the cool and rational thinking and the keen observation skills of things past before reacting to the present. Jeff has a history of service of which he can be proud and we can be glad.
His experience as trustee and deputy mayor have shown his unwillingness to go with a quick or easy fix demanded by a poorly thought out but loud and demanding vocal minority.
Like Mayor Waller who appointed him Deputy, Jeff Katz has demonstrated a willingness to make tough decisions after careful thought and consideration. He is patient and deliberative and learns from the past but is not stuck in failed ideas and solutions.
The recent confused and quick changing votes by some trustees showed that poorly thought out quick fix decision-making that Jeff refused to participate in.
We have two thoughtful, intelligent candidates for Mayor to select from in the Cooperstown election on March 16. Only one of them is qualified. Only one of them has demonstrated the careful deliberation necessary to make tough and sometimes unpopular decisions. Only one of them deserves your vote.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of mediocrity in Cooperstown is for good people to not vote for Jeff Katz. Oh, and when you cast your vote for trustee, be sure to vote for those who will support Jeff.
Henry J. Nicols
Booan is best choice
Fortunately, we have been given the choice for mayor in the March 16 village election. Joe Booan will be an excellent mayor because what everyone needs and wants is financial responsibility and accountability. Joe will provide both.
It is also fortunate that both Joe Booan and Alton Dunn have some engineering experience, which the village lacks. Currently, the DPW acts as the engineering "expert." We will definitely need their expertise in the near future to guide the village board on infrastructure repairs.
Theses are difficult times that require down-to-earth common sense decisions. I feel that Joe Booan, Altom Dunn, Doug Walker and Michael Molloy for justice represent the values that made Cooperstown a wonderful, safe and affordable place to live.
As for the criticism that Joe will not be able to dedicate enough time because of his job, I thought it was the quality of the time spent and not the quantity that was most important.
Lee Malone
Katz has earned the right to be mayor
I know and like Joe Booan, and he obviously has done well in his BOCES administrative job. But, I was a school building administrator for 18 years, in both large and small districts, and I know how time consuming school administration is, even overseeing just one building in a small district. Joe's new position expands his duties and his territory, and it is hard to see how he will be available on a regular, daily basis.
Accessibility requires availability, and we are fortunate to have a candidate in Jeff Katz who spends almost all his time here in the village. Equally important is the fact that Jeff listens. People do not want input; they want influence. In his work as a trustee, Jeff has listened, watched, weighed the facts, and then acted. He has earned the right to be our next mayor, and we need him in that position.
David Pearlman
Katz best man for the job
I would like to express my support for Jeff Katz for mayor. Having worked with Jeff over the years, I have found him to be open-minded and exceedingly committed to making Cooperstown the best it can be for residents, those who work here, and visitors. In particular, I have seen Jeff reach out to area nonprofits to do co-programming and create partnerships for the greater good. With so many fiscal constraints on the Village, it makes good financial sense to work with nonprofits when and where appropriate.
The hallmark of a good civic leader is if he or she can focus on what's best for the community as a whole. This is not always an easy task and it comes with its share of ups and downs. It is virtually impossible to please ever citizen all the time. However, on the whole and looking at his years of service, I have been impressed with Jeff's ability to sort through an issue, become educated about a topic, and seek the advice of constituents and experts, especially when a complicated subject is at hand.
Lastly, Jeff has the time and flexibility to serve as mayor. While the position remains a part-time job, the demands and hours worked are clearly more substantial that a few hours here and there. Just ask Carol Waller! Depending upon how you see it, it can be an incredibly rewarding experience or a thankless job _ maybe both. It will take a nimble, creative, and intelligent person to take Carol's place. Jeff has the skills and time to do the job and do it well. He will also know how to juggle the countless tasks and obstacles along the way. The people of Cooperstown will be well-served by a Mayor Katz.
Martha H. Frey
Jeff, you have my vote
Cooperstown is fortunate to have a talented young man in Jeff Katz to run for Mayor.
In these pressing economic times, it's good to know that a smart and dedicated person like Jeff is willing to take on the responsibility of doing a very difficult job (for little personal economic incentive) and working with a village budget that clearly cannot meet all the pressing village needs. Good luck Jeff, you have my vote.
Angus Mackie
Katz for mayor
While serving as the trustee in 1997, I was appointed village administrator, following the departure of the previous administrator. I left that position in 1999 for health reasons, and having a better understanding of the needs of the village, proposed two possible options to the board for management of the village. One plan was to hire a full-time administrator or secondly, to have the mayor, trustees and the village staff assume the administrative responsibility for all aspects of village management and control. The later course was chosen. Ten years later, what was necessary then is still true today.
Appropriate management of the village requires mayoral leadership by a person who is able and willing to devote significant time and has "upclose and personal" knowledge of what the position demands. It is my belief that Jeff Katz has proven to have these qualifications.
I will not itemize Jeff's accomplishments. This has been stated in many other letters to the editor. I will simply say that in all my contacts with him regarding village matters, I have found Jeff to be dedicated to the village and knowledgeable on the issues facing its residents. He is receptive and any ideas/suggestions which could improve our community.
Most of all he is able to devote the necessary time to be a full-time mayor.
In the ever-increasing complexity of our society, which affects even our small upstate New York village, there are no simple solutions to all issues, nor does any one individual possess all the answers. I do believe, however, that Jeff will listen to the village citizens and, with integrity, evaluate the available information and will strive to make the necessary decisions to preserve the spirit and well-being of our village.
I fully support Jeff Katz for mayor of the village of Cooperstown.

I grew up watching that tape and then passed it on to the younger members of my family, who have also grown up on it. People have such strong emotional connections to that original cast because of the film — you're all synonymous with these roles. How did Into the Woods come about for you originally?
What were workshops and the original San Diego production like?
What do you recall about that original Broadway experience?
18 Jul 2012

CZ: I started originally as Cinderella's Prince. The first reading I did of it, I was Cinderella's Prince. And, we were upstairs at the old Playwrights Horizons. And, I was doing sort of a Monty Python thing, and I just thought I was killing it. I just thought I was amazing, and James Lapine came up to afterwards and said, "What is wrong with you? What were you doing? It's not a spoof." He said, "No, no, no." I said, "James, look at all the laughs I got." He said, "No, no. Totally wrong." So then they went back [to] rewriting and working on it and I really wanted to play the Baker, but I thought maybe I wasn't what they would want for that role. I was out in L.A. doing a TV series, and I got a call from my old friend Ira Weitzman. He called me up and said, "I know they're thinking of you for the role of the Baker, but I think that they're going to want you to fly into town to audition, and if you do that they may change their mind." [Laughs.] He said, "Lapine's going to call you. Tell him your shooting schedule is too involved, you can't come back here." I said, "Ira, I really want to do that part. I will certainly come back and take my chances." He said, "No, don't do it!" [Laughs.] And, the rest is history. Lapine called me, and I said, "No, James. I'm just stuck." The next thing I knew, Lapine called me up and said, "We're going to offer it to you. We're just going to offer it to you." I said, "Are you kidding me?" It was like the greatest thing to ever happen. So that was it. I came back, and then we went right into rehearsal for the San Diego production, and then after San Diego, we went back into workshop mode and ended up on Broadway.

CZ: It was tense. It was wonderful. Sondheim brought in "No One Is Alone" while we were already in performance in San Diego. We were open, and that number wasn't in. And, we listened to that number in the basement of the Old Globe. There's so many wonderful things… The argument about how long the wolf's penis was going to be was one of the great early controversies! [Laughs.] But Lapine and Ann Hould-Ward were standing around saying, "It's too long. It's obscene. Should we cut it?" There were many, many discussions that were so funny…
CZ: One of the most thrilling things was that we were rehearsing at 890 Broadway, and Joanna Gleason and I took a cab up Eighth Avenue and we saw, for the first time, the [giant's] boot that was on top of the marquee [at the Martin Beck Theatre, now the Hirschfeld]. And, the marquee was up and the boot was up, and we just stopped. It was just a moment that could never be duplicated. It was like, "Oh my God. This is really happening. This great marquee!" Joanna and I were really close. We really got to be like husband and wife, and she remains one of my best and dearest friends. We talk all the time.
CZ: The night of the Sondheim reunion was… Well, first of all, Mandy Patinkin was there. We've been friends through the years. We were standing in the wings, going, "It's unbelievable that we're here. All of these lives... That it came together — these moments converged." And then Joanna and I walked out on stage, and the first thing we get to sing is, "You've changed…," which was funny. And, it all ended up being up there on stage. Joanna had a perfect moment, and it was so much fun, and Paul Gemignani standing behind us. I was very nervous, [but] it was just comfortable to sit there with Joanna. You could see Sondheim, who was sitting about the tenth row. You could see him reacting and waving. Then Mandy came off after he sang with Bernadette, and we just hugged each other, and both of us started to cry. I think everybody felt that way, and when all those voices came in to sing from Sunday in the Park at the end… We didn't know that backstage. We didn't know how many people were going to come out and sing that gorgeous music from Sunday in the Park. I mean, everybody… Everybody was just a mess. And, there were a lot of friends there — old friends — and people who worked together. It was really something.
I grew up watching that tape and then passed it on to the younger members of my family, who have also grown up on it. People have such strong emotional connections to that original cast because of the film — you're all synonymous with these roles. How did Into the Woods come about for you originally?

Essential World/Foreign Films
The very best foreign films--or at the very least, Jürgen's list of favorite world films.
Top Anime DVDs
There are plenty of folks who still equate Japanese animation with "Pokemon" and can't get used to the flat faces and weird storylines. But the plunge is worth taking. At their best, anime are as intelligent as the best feature films, and their daring plots can make the most jaded heads spin. Here are the best looking, most exciting anime DVDs.
Top Hong Kong Films
Since "The Matrix" introduced Western audiences to wire-fu, it seems we can't get enough of the flying, leaping, gravity-defying antics of the Hong Kong action heroes.
Top 10 French Film Essentials
Ten landmark French films that should not be missed by any serious film fan.
Top Ten World Films We Love to Hate
Subtitles alone don't make art.
Italian Film 101
Fellini, De Sica, Rossellini, Visconti, Antonioni--Italian cinema has its fair share of masters. This top ten isn't meant as an end-all list to the great films of Italy, but as a starting-off point for exploration.
Top 10 Films from Australia and New Zealand
Picking the top movies from any country is difficult, but picking ten from an entire continent (and including New Zealand) is even harder. Missing from this list are great movies like "Cactus," "The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith," "Praise," and Nicolas Roeg's "Walkabout,"--a terrific film that was (unfortunately for our purposes) made in England.

A list of the winners of the festival's top prize through the years. Once known as the Grand Prix, from 1975 the top award has been the "Palme d'Or" or Golden Palm.
Sarah's Key
Gilles Paquet-Brenner's Sarah's Key, adapted from the novel by Tatiana de Rosnay), tells the story of Sarah, a ten-year-old girl who is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night during World War II. Kristin Scott Thomas stars as the journalist who uncovers her story....

Prime the excitement for MLS opening day with this edgy NBC Sports Network promo video

I like it. It's edgy. My pal Arlo White, NBC's lead soccer voice and a fellow who paints the pictures in wonderful context as well as anybody you'll ever know, seems excited about it. We know because he said so on Twitter.
But if I'm being totally honest, I liked out network's playoff promo from just a few short months ago. This one really gets my keys to jingling.

NEW ORLEANS — De La Salle has named Ryan P. Manale as its head football coach, the school announced Monday.
"The reaction from the community on our hiring of Ran has been overwhelmingly positive," De La Salle Athletic Director Tony Bonura said. "His reputation as a teacher, game planner and motivator touches on all the attributes we were looking for in a coach.
"I believe the hiring of Ryan as our head coach sends a clear message that we have high goals for the program and we will continue to see increased success."
Manale worked as the offensive coordinator at Mandeville this past season.
He also has experience coaching the offensive line during a nine-year career at Rummel, where he also was the running game coordinator and a special teams assistant.
Since becoming a coach, Manale has helped produce 17 All-Metro linemen and 13 1,000-yard rushers.

Second phase of duck-hunting season kicks off with a bangWednesday, December 14th, 2011
It's been happy hunting for those early morning risers who venture out to the wetlands well before dawn to hunt fast-flying quarry.
Last weekend — the opening weekend for the second phase of the regular duck season, which runs Dec. 10 through Jan. 29 — hunters in the stormwater treatment areas of western Palm Beach County found good numbers of ducks, according to check station data from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.
STA 3/4 (on the west side of U.S. 27 at the Palm Beach/Broward county line) was the hot spot on Saturday, with 1,019 ducks taken by 202 hunters. That's an average of five per hunter.
On Sunday at STA 3/4, 135 hunters harvested 484 ducks, an average of 3.6 per hunter.
Another of Palm Beach County's Everglades water-cleansing marshes, STA 1-West, reported good numbers of ducks taken by hunters on Saturday — 658 taken by 218 hunters. That's an average of three per hunter.
Many hunters have been getting their six-duck limits in the STAs, according to FWC biologists, and the species variety has been good.
Even though quota permits are required to hunt for ducks in the STAs, hunters can use the raffle system to gain access as walk-in hunters.
For more information, call the FWC's South Region Office in West Palm Beach at (561) 625-5122.
Information about duck hunting in the STAs can be found at http://myfwc.com/hunting/wma-brochures/.
General information about duck hunting in Florida can be found at www.myfwc.com/duck.
Of note: Youth waterfowl days, reserved for duck hunters under 16 supervised by a non-hunting adult, are Feb. 4-5.

Today marks the 46th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Here are 10 things you may not know about the historic March on Washington, where MLK delivered his historic "I have a dream" speech.
The event was officially titled the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom."
An estimated 200,000 to 250,000 Americans, mostly African-Americans but also including thousands of whites, held the march to focus attention on blacks' demands for immediate equality in jobs and civil rights.
The march was organized by the "Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement: A. Philip Randolph, Whitney M. Young, Jr., Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., James Farmer, Roy Wilkins, and John Lewis. Bayard Rustin was chief organizer of the march.
The marchers were entertained by celebrities, including Ossie Davis, Joan Baez, Bobby Darin, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary and Jackie Robinson.
Marchers were not supposed to create their own signs, though this rule was not completely enforced by marshals. Most of the demonstrators did carry pre-made signs, available in piles at the Washington Monument.
King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial.
Law enforcement included 5,000 police, National Guardsmen and Army reservists.
No marchers were arrested and no incidents concerning marchers were reported.
Ten leaders of the civil rights march met with President John F. Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz and Burke Marshall, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, at the White House during the demonstration.
The march is widely credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965).

Record: 15-2-1 (1 No Contest) overall, 6-2 (1 No Contest) in the UFC
Key Wins: Nate Diaz (UFC 125), Amir Sadollah (UFC 114), Sean Pierson (UFC 141)
Key Losses: Carlos Condit (UFC 132), Demian Maia (UFC 148)
How he got here: Dong Hyun Kim actually retired from his promotion in South Korea after winning his second professional fight. He would reemerge nearly two years later in Japan fighting for the Deep promotion where he would go 7-0-1 over the course of one and a half years.
After fighting to a draw in his last fight in Japan, Kim was signed by the UFC to fight Jason Tan at UFC 84 where he would win his UFC debut with big elbows on the ground.
After fighting to a close split decision victory over Matt Brown, Kim would lose a decision to Karo Parisyan but would have the result overturned when the Armenian tested positive for banned painkillers.
After the Parisyan fight, Kim scored three consecutive unanimous decision victories. He's primarily used his judo and improved wrestling to stifle fighters and take them out of their games, most notably in his two bouts against Amir Sadollah and Nate Diaz.
His improving resume earned him a shot against Carlos Condit at UFC 132 but "Stun Gun" would be caught by a huge flying knee via "The Natural Born Killer" and would be finished for the first time in his career. Kim responded well to his first loss, beating Sean Pierson from pillar to post in his Octagon return last December, but Demian Maia.put him in his place earlier this summer.
How he gets it done: Kim primarily used his wrestling and judo to defeat his opponents to start out his UFC career, but the improvements in his striking that he showed in his fight against Sean Pierson are a very good sign.
Expect to see Kim using his grappling and judo skills offensively to keep Thiago on his toes and get this fight to the ground repeatedly. Once there, expect to see the taller, longer Kim go to work with constant pressure and ground and pound while riding out top control.
Kim has a pretty solid grasp on judo and balance to either reverse a bad position against the Brazilian and land on top or to simply fend him off and stay standing if he pleases. Time is on Kim's side as Thiago has shown a tendency to fade in fights while Kim only gets stronger as his opponents wilt.
Record: 14-4 overall, 4-4 in the UFC
Key Wins: Josh Koscheck (UFC 95), Mike Swick (UFC 109), Jacob Volkmann (UFC 106)
Key Losses: Martin Kampmann (UFC 115), Jon Fitch (UFC 100), Diego Sanchez (UFC 121)
How he got here: Paulo Thiago has been fighting professionally since 2005, but he's also been a part of Brazil's special police, which has garnered him added attention in his home country for the dangers he would face every day.
He won his first 10 fights and went on to face Josh Koscheck in his UFC debut where he pulled off one of biggest upsets of the year with a first round knockout victory. He was quickly thrown to the wolves against Jon Fitch at UFC 100 where he would win the first round but lose a decision.
Thiago has continued to face top competition, defeating Jacob Volkmann and Mike Swick impressively while dropping decisions to Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann.
He soundly defeated David Mitchell in his native Brazil and was hoping to continue that momentum against the very dangerous UFC newcomer in Siyar Bahurdazada, but Thiago was caught on the knocked unconscious. Now, he's left picking up the pieces against Kim.
How he gets it done: Thiago isn't the most aggressive fighter in the stand-up portion, but his technique has progressed over time. Unfortunately, he went away from those counter striking tendencies in his last fight and he paid the price.
Kim is likely going to be very aggressive in trying to take this fight to the ground with his wrestling and judo. He will also try to utilize his length on the feet while he can, so Thiago should be trying to counter effectively whenever given an opening on the feet.
If Kim does put him on his back, Thiago needs to aggressively look for sweeps, similar to what Carlos Condit did against Kim last year. Thiago should avoid throwing submission attempts at Kim unless he's certain he'll be able to finish them.
Fight X-Factor: The biggest X-Factor for this fight is how both men will react to their most recent loss. Both fighters were stopped early in the first round of their fights against Maia and Bahurdazada respectively, but Kim's loss was more of a fluke injury while Thiago was not only soundly beaten, but knocked unconscious for the first time in his UFC career. If this forces him to be less aggressive overall, or perhaps unwilling to pull the trigger when it counts, it could lead to an advantage for Kim.
Bottom Line: While Kim has fought in the stand-up in one of his two most recent fights, MMA fighters tend to go back to their bread and butter when they really need a victory, and that is Kim's ground game. Expect to see him attack with takedowns early and often. Unfortunately, Kim is not the most entertaining or active ground fighter so this one could slow down to a crawl potentially and get a bit ugly.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Widow Maker is claimed to be one of the best face climbs at Luther Spires and it certainly is a challenging and fun route! This is one of the two furthest left and furthest up routes in the Supertopo South Lake Tahoe Climbing guide book by Chris McNamara. There are two ways to get to the route. Once you arrive at the Spires from the approach path, walk left. After only 30-40 feet the path either leads up along the spires or down to underneath all the spires. The only reason to go up is to get to other routes of interest or to check out the many other routes. This way is longer and MUCH harder than dropping down. Dropping down you follow a thin manzania path that goes left passing one set of Spires. Continue along until path veers up towards a beautiful free standing spire. This has several routes on it but Widow Maker is on the rock which sits above this. Follow path up and right around large boulders and up to large cliff. The beautiful line of WIdow Maker is almost directly in front of you. The climb is wonderfully well protected face climbing on solid rock.
6 bolts to two bolt anchors with rappel rings. First bolt is quite a ways up there but small to medium trad gear could protect the traverse to the first bolt if necessary.

In-home assistance coverage can cost just under $100 a day for a health care assistant to check on you and give you medications to hundreds of dollars a day for 24/7 care. A special long-term care insurance policy can help pay for some types of in-home care such as skilled or non-skilled nursing care, physical therapy, and home health aides. There are many different types of long-term care insurance policies, depending on the specific types of coverage you want to have. Some policies cover adult day care and full-time assistants, while other policies cover part-time in-home care and services. It is recommended that people purchase long-term care insurance before they are older and really need it. In fact, the premiums of long-term care insurance are much lower at age 50 than they are at age 65 or 70. Ask your financial advisor or insurance agent about the best type of long-term care insurance for you. Carefully review the costs and benefits of each of the different policies before committing to purchase long-term care.

Prop 8 sponsors tell U.S. Supreme Court that defining marriage is a state right
Original post made on Jan 23, 2013
that Californians' choice of a traditional definition in 2008 should be honored.

I'm no legal scholar, but my basic understanding of the Constitution and our history tells me that the 14th Amendment trumps anything the states want to do if the court finds that due process has been denied. Yes, marriage is a state power, but so was slavery. I don't mean to invoke the American version of Godwin's Law so quickly, but come on. There was a reason the 14th Amendment was put in place. Historically, states have been the bigger violators of rights in our history.

'No Legal Scholar', if I understand your premise correctly, then pot should be illegal in all states because the feds consider it illegal.
The Defense of Marriage Act is not being upheld by the current occupier of the White House, which is federal law. The states legislators (not the voters) in several states have decided on their own to circumvent or ignore federal law, with obama and holder's approval. Is this what you are referring to as 'due process'?
on Jan 23, 2013 at 9:45 am
My understanding of Prop8 is that the Constitution and Bill Of Rights do not apply equally to all citizens. Only those citizens who have the approval of certain churches have equal rights. I think this approach has been tried before

Invest in a rain sensor to save water, moneyWednesday, June 25th, 2008
I see it all the time.
Rain falling from the skies — yet sprinklers are going full blast on this yard or that.
That represents a waste of water and money.
A rain sensor provides an inexpensive solution. For $20 or so, you can buy a sensor that turns off your sprinkler system when it rains.
Some types turn off the water only after a certain amount of rain water is accumulated.
One type, Hunter's Rain-Clik, switches off the system right away, according to that company's Web site. A number of rain sensor brands are available at John Deere Landscapes in Mangonia Park and other nearby John Deere locations.
With water rates climbing, why pay for something nature provides for free?

In this clip, Pastor Arjuna tells the story of Prasad to Pastor Sutton. One day, he got in a fight with another man and killed him, and he was taken to jail. While he saw there, someone preached the gospel to the prisoners, and Prasad gave his life to Jesus. When he got out of jail, God called him to start planting churches. And that's what he's been doing since. Today, he's planted two churches in the Guntur District, both in villages where had never before been a Christian church.
Pastor Arjuna is the president of Vision Nationals, a church-planting ministry in Southeast Asia. Mars Hill Global supports all of the church plants in the Khammam and Guntur districts, about 25 in total, in the state of Andhra Pradesh on India's southeastern coast.

Goshen fire investigators say the fire at a vacant building on US-33 late Monday night was intentionally set.
Firefighters had to dodge lightning as they battled a fire on U.S. 33 late Monday night. They were able to get it out fairly quickly but stayed on the scene for a few hours to put out the hot spots. Officials estimate the damage at $150,000.
Firefighters say when they got on the scene there were no flames shooting from the building, but plenty of smoke was pouring out.
They're just glad no one was hurt battling the fire. "The storms are always a concern, especially when you have the ladder truck up," said Chief Inspector Mike Happer. "You're always afraid for lightning strikes and fortunately we didn't have any accidents out there so everything's okay."
Anyone with information on who may have set the fire, should call the Fire Investigators at 574-875-4315, Goshen POlice at 574-533-8661, or the Arson Hot Line at 1-800-382-4628. Information leading to an arrest may be eligible for a reward up to $5,000.

Vote 'United for Community Radio' for the KPFA Local Station Board
by Akio Tanaka
Current situation and background
As long time observers know, there never seems to be peace at KPFA-Pacifica.
The current conflict began with the layoffs in 2010, when the union accused the Pacifica management of union busting and usurping local control. While it is the duty of the union to fight to save jobs, anyone who has seen KPFA's annual audited financial reports can see that KPFA's local management more than doubled the payroll during the boom years of 2000-2006 and then failed to make the necessary cuts when the economy collapsed and listener support plummeted in 2006-2010.
The number of staff the station can afford to pay is directly tied to the level of listener support, which in large part depends on the state of the economy. By 2010, the station was in danger of insolvency, which is the ONLY reason Pacifica stepped in.
There have also been claims that the layoffs were political and did not follow the union contract, but the National Labor Relations Board has dismissed as "without merit" all five complaints filed by the union regarding this matter.
Underlying problems
One major area of friction is programming. It stands to reason that a trade union looking after the financial security of its members will prefer programming that appeals to the more affluent, if progressive, audience. But the mission of Pacifica is to be the commons of the airwaves, to represent a broader and more diverse community, to include the voices of the voiceless and marginalized.
Possible solutions
So what to do with these conflicting needs and interests? How does a union look after the financial security of its members in a non-profit organization that does not make profits and must live within a balanced budget?
The primary task of the station should be to fulfill the mission of Pacifica. The management and union should carefully work out a paid staffing level that can be sustained over the economic ups and downs and avoid the temptation to add too many people during the economic boom times, like what happened in 2000-2006.
A sustainable paid staffing level would help remove the one main source of anxiety and tension. It would also end the practice of measuring the value of a program only by the amount of money it brings in, a sad and ironic state of affairs. This is not to devalue well-produced programs but to invest more resources into training and support, thereby increasing the production value of all programs.
Pacifica holds the unique position of giving a platform to the powerless and voiceless, as the union did at one time, and while the notion of workers' rights resonates to all within the progressive community, it must be remembered that it is to respect and honor ALL labor, not just paid labor.
A progressive organization like KPFA should have one all-inclusive union for everyone who works at KPFA.
Bringing peace to KPFA and Pacifica
It is time for all the staff, paid and unpaid, and for listeners to embrace the democratic victory that was won for us in legal and street battles of 1999-2001 and by the people who formed the original "Save KPFA" in the mid-1990s. KPFA was not sold from under us, and thanks to their efforts, it never will be. It is time to bring peace to KPFA and Pacifica and help strengthen this priceless resource.
United for Community Radio (UCR) coalition stands for:
Community Resource – Reclaim the mission of Pacifica and KPFA as commons, with broad and diverse participation, not to be controlled by any particular group or party.
Program Council – Programming decisions to be made in a fair, collaborative and respectful manner.
Mutual Respect – Foster cooperation and equality for paid and unpaid staff.
Please vote for the following United for Community Radio listener candidates:
- Ramsés Téon Nichols, chair of the Organizing Committee at SEIU Local 1021, SF Green Party
- Laurence Shoup, historian, author of "Rulers and Rebels," former Green Party candidate
- Karen Pickett, environmental campaign leader, organizer of Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters
- Andrea Pritchett, incumbent KPFA LSB member, schoolteacher, a founder of Berkeley Copwatch

" according to Arbitron" KPFA doesn't subscribe to Arbitron, so how do you know how KPFA shows are rated by Arbitron? If you have Arbitron ratings, it would be great if you could share them with the station. I would help us make decisions and gain insight into shows.↓
Chris Stehlik
I meant "It would help us make decisions and gain insight into shows. "↓
Well that's curious because I always seem to be hearing various members of SAVE KPFA refer to Arbitrons. Most recently Roger Marquis told me he was working on a grant proposal with Sasha Lilly and Maria Negrete for web development, and that they were gathering Arbitrons to submit..↓
Chris Stehlik
We have how many people listen to the web stream and how many pledge pledge, but we don't have Arbitron reports for specific shows and I don't remember anyone saying that we do, or I would like to know about it.↓

planter tractor
Got a project that you are working on that is not a tractor? Maybe a barn to hold your tractors or just fun stuff like woodworking, glass, tools, sheds, gardens, custom implements, etc., this is the place to talk about it.

planter tractor
here is a picture of one of the planters I have built. I've built several without the front bucket. they measure apx.6' long and 3' wide and are made from treated lumber and coated screws. some I've sold have been painted tractor colors .
Re: planter tractor
Wow, pretty neat. It's almost as big as a Cub.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

The reason why police can do a simple search of a detained person, and look inside containers, is to ensure the safety of the officer. It is a light search to ensure that the detained person is not armed. Until I can install a weapon on my cell phone, looking inside it as if it were a 'container', is obviously abuse.

I just use Daylight Saving Time all the time. I'm fine with everyone else being wrong, as long as it gets dark at 5:30 on the shortest day of the year instead of 4:30. Dark at 8am? So what, 8am sucks anyway. Worried about school kids? Set their schedule so they have an 8 hour day that always has daylight in whatever region you are in.

When discussing rights held by the press, there is additional reason to allow them to remain silent. Upholding the ability for the press to protect their sources has a compelling state interest, in that empowering them to investigate criminal activity is in the public interest. Once you start compelling the press to divulge their sources, people stop talking to them.
The solution is simple. Make them responsible for all of those costs until their software can handle it. Watch how fast that update happens.

The pregame chalk toss was a signature part of LeBron James' pregame routine. He didn't invent it, but he was the one known for it.
Until halfway through the 2011 playoffs his first season in Miami, when things got serious and LeBron went away from it. He stayed away from it all the way through the Heat's two title runs. Now it's back.
LeBron confirmed it after practice Wednesday to Brian Windhorst of ESPN's Heat Index.
"It's just me," James said after the Miami Heat's practice Wednesday at the Atlantis Resort. "I love my fans and they wanted it back. They wanted me to do it so it's back."
LeBron is on the cover of the just-released NBA 2K14 doing the toss, which should have been the first sign.

Francoeur unloads his rifle in the general direction of the deer
Yost: Dammit. You weren't even close.
Francoeur: I'll bet I hit it with anywhere between 24 and 28% of those shots. I'm rad. They probably didn't do a lot, though, so you'll have to finish him off, Broxy.

Why Smartphone-Obsessed Generation Y Can't Put Down Their Phones
The smartphone: man's new best friend -- at least for Generation Y. Wireless devices have changed the way we communicate, work and entertain ourselves. For many people in Gen Y, the last thing we do before we go to bed is check our smartphones, and it's often the first thing we reach for in the morning. It's basically an extension of ourselves. Cisco's third annual global Connected World Technology Report (CCWTR) focuses on why Generation Y, in particular, can't part from their smartphone devices.

Two Great New Technical VideosSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Sat, 2007-09-01 09:16. MythTV | video
Ken Dyke asked me at the BozemanLUG meeting the other evening... if I had found any more good technical videos on Google. I usually search every day... but somehow hadn't found anything worth sharing for a while.
Practical MythTV by Michael Still, Aug. 16, 2007
The second video is about DTrace which is the kernel debugger for Sun's Solaris... but given the coverage on LWN in an article entitled, On DTrace envy which talks about DTrace vs. Linux's SystemTap kernel debugger... more info in DTrace is probably a good thing.
LinuxWorld Expo 2007 Keynotes I attendedSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2007-08-30 11:47. linuxworld | video
I attended two of the keynotes at LinuxWorld Expo 2007 and here they are as nicely recorded by the LinuxWorld folks. If only these videos were downloadable.
I put the second one on the full story page. It is a talk by one of the founders of VMware about the future of virtualization technologies.
Screencast: OpenVZ Live MigrationSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 2007-08-21 14:50. OpenVZ | screencast | video
I just recently started playing around with installing desktop environments inside of a VPS. It takes a little work as you really don't want to accidentally replace your vzdev package with a distro's stock udev package. Anyway, the video below was resized for embedded flash playback and there is no sound. If you want a MUCH higher quality video, you can can right-click and save as: openvz-via-vnc-with-migration.ogg.
Read the full article for the embedded video because I didn't want it to stretch out the front page.
LinuxWorld Expo 2007 Video footageSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2007-08-13 16:27. linuxworld | OpenVZ | video
I took my video camera hoping to do some interviews but given the fact that my first experience using it led to a visit from security telling me I couldn't record anything but the booth I was in... I was a bit wary about recording after that.
Along came a guy (although I didn't catch his name) doing what he called, "50 second .org videos". I latched onto that... and filmed him filming several of the .org booths.
Enjoy if you can a mish-mash of 36 minutes worth video clips. You'll see the following booths: Fedora, OpenVZ, Joomla, The Linux Foundation, Pentaho, and Ubuntu... although technically the Ubuntu booth was not in the .org Pavilion.
I got Carla's permission (from SWsoft) to film the presentation she did on Virtuozzo at the Intel booth... but she let me know up front that it was geared more towards how Intel and SWsoft work together rather than a general presentation on Virtuozzo. That part is about 10 minutes and it isn't too bad.
In the mean time...Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2007-08-13 15:14. linuxworld | video
Ok, I fed my video from LinuxWorld Expo 2007 into a computer and am processing it now but in the mean time I found this interesting video from Geek Entertainment Television that should tide you over.

I learned about a handy dandy program today named recordmydesktop and the GUI for it, gtk-recordmydesktop. Seems to work pretty well. How well? So well that I actually ran out and bought a microphone so I could record the following video.
I've done a few presentations on OpenVZ and I had some slides made so... what the heck... I thought I'd slap together a presentation video.
The video is 800x600 and I didn't want to stretch the center column on the front page, so read the full story to see the included video.

I was there, camera in hand, the day that he discovered ants.
He had taken a break from running the length of our yard to inspect an odd brown patch in his path.
I snapped a picture of him pointing at all the activity going on at the mound and then yelled, "Watch out!" just before he pressed a pudgy index finger on top of an unsuspecting ant's head.
Before our first trip to a pet store, Wyatt announced that he thought we were going to get a lizard. I don't know where he got that idea, but Zac took one look at my face and quickly set him straight.
For a while, Wyatt's favorite part of the toy department was a box of reptiles and amphibians that were the correct color and texture as their real-life counterparts.
I would let him pull out a few to play with in the store as long as he understood that they couldn't come home with us and he would have to clean up the mess himself.
"Girls don't like this kind of stuff, buddy," Zac explained to him the first time I announced that I wasn't going to touch the nasty things.
From the look on his face, I could tell Wyatt didn't understand how I could not love something as beautiful as a toad.
A couple of Christmases ago, someone gave him a Ziploc bag filled with every fake bug imaginable.
Soon I had trained myself not to scream when I came across plastic spiders in random places while cleaning house.
Now when I step on something that feels suspiciously like an insect, I close my eyes and hope that it's one of Wyatt's toys.
We have only discovered one critter on God's green earth that Wyatt doesn't like.
At the first sight of one, he notifies the nearest adult and dissolves into a puddle of tears if it is not removed immediately.
This creature that can strike such terror in our son's heart is the ladybug.
Thankfully, we do not have a ladybug infestation at our house like some others do. However, we have seen more than our fair share this year.
At first, Zac and I didn't pay them that much attention.
We just picked them off the ceiling or wherever they happened to be and deposited them outside.
I have heard that it's bad luck to kill a ladybug, although that's not why I have an aversion to it. Maybe it's the polka dots.
For whatever reason, I consider ladybugs to be worthy of more mercy than snakes or rats.
Wyatt does not share this sentiment. A single ladybug crawling up a lampshade is disturbing enough, but two together will give him a toddler-sized panic attack.
We have assured him that a ladybug can't hurt him, but he thinks that their mere presence is hazardous to our health.
"They get in all our stuff," he insisted when I pressed him once on why he dislikes ladybugs so much.
I continued to brush off his concerns until one day when he reached for his drink. "Uh oh!" he cried loudly enough that I knew we were dealing with more than an empty glass.
I discovered a speck floating on top of his leftover juice. Not just any speck — a rogue ladybug.
Of course, this confirmed Wyatt's distrust, and I no longer put up a fight when he runs through the house to announce that another one has breached the security of our home.
I just silently walk over to the tiny orange interloper and show it the door.

Follies: New Broadway Cast Recording [PS Classics PS-1105]
Between our recent two-part column examining the back catalogue of Follies cast albums and our book review of "Look, I Made a Hat," it almost feels like we've had too much Sondheim in the past month. (You can't have too much Sondheim, in my opinion, but you can have too much writing about Sondheim, can't you? Wait — my editor clearly disagrees!) The new original cast album of the current revival of Follies has now been released. We can't really leave that out of the discussion. Since I've filled this column with 10,000 or so Sondheim words recently, I will try to be briefer than I would be otherwise.
The composer has come out with an interview on Playbill.com, in which he says: "It's always dangerous to praise something you've been connected with, but I've got to say it's a really good cast album." Now, I can think of several of Mr. Sondheim's songwriting peers who see no such danger, being inclined to wildly praise any cast album, revival, or refrigerator magnet connected with any of their musicals. I don't find them indiscriminating, exactly; they simply see it as part of their job to serve as cheerleader to any and all enterprises which see fit to send royalty checks. That's fine for them, and why not?
|photo by Monica Simoes
Here, though, we have the composer himself opining that this new cast album is "really good." And I concur.
Tommy Krasker of PS Classics have given us the full score interwoven with numerous segments of the libretto which — in the opinion of Krasker and Sondheim — enhance the listening experience. So we get about 107 of the 135 or so minutes as performed at the Marquis. But not precisely as performed at the Marquis. Krasker went back to the original for remembered lines from James Goldman's script that have over the years been cut; this with full permission of the rights holders. Some of these changes for the recording have subsequently been incorporated into the revival.
For those interested in such things — which means, maybe, everyone who is reading this? — Krasker has offered a detailed explanation of what he has done and how and why he did it. This can be found on the label website (www.psclassics.com). Part of what you will find there is an account of Sondheim sitting at the recording session and changing the word "pitiful" to "sorrowful." (If you don't instantly recognize this — which means you just might be normal — it comes in "The Story of Lucy and Jessie," Phyllis' Loveland number: "Jessie wants to be lacy / Lucy wants to be Jessie / That's the sorrowful précis / It's very messy." Only it's now "pitiful précis.") Sondheim's comment: "I finally figured out the right word after 40 years."Continued...

Too Much, Too Much, Too Many will play through Jan. 5, 2014, at Roundabout's 62-seat Black Box Theatre, at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
The cast and creative team will be announced at a later date.
"Bittersweet, poignant and touchingly funny," Too Much, Too Much, Too Many, according to press notes, "is a compelling new drama about the walls we build to protect our hearts — and deciding when it's time to break them down. Following the death of her husband, Rose locks herself in her bedroom for the better part of a year, leaving her daughter Emma to care for her through the closed door. When the church sends a pastor to help coax Rose out of her room, he soon finds that Rose is not the only one using barriers to hide her true feelings."
Roundabout Underground is an initiative to "showcase new plays that will either allow an experienced director to go back to his/her creative roots or give a debut production to an emerging writer or director." Robyn Goodman (artistic consultant to the Roundabout) curates the initiative.
The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre is located at 111 West 46th Street. For more information and tickets, call (212) 719-1300 or visit RoundaboutTheatre.org.

Daily Echo-backed Carbon Stoppers boosts Sparkle Appeal
5:00pm Monday 13th January 2014 in News
THE Sparkle Appeal to raise money for new hydrotherapy facilities at the Victoria Education Centre is the latest to receive a donation from the Daily Echo-backed Carbon Stoppers scheme.
The Sparkle Appeal was launched in 2010 with the aim of raising £5 million to provide a new hydrotherapy pool and therapy centre at Victoria Education Centre in Poole.
More than half the target amount has been raised and the pool is now in use.
The senior section of Ferndown Forest Golf Club adopted the Sparkle Appeal as the captain's annual charity and approached Yellow Buses' Carbon Stoppers appeal for a donation.
Peter Jennings, who is chairman of governors at the education centre and also a member of Ferndown Forest Golf Club, was presented with a £220 cheque by Sally Spicer of Yellow Buses.
He said: "We're very pleased to receive this money and thank Yellow Buses and the Daily Echo for choosing us."
Carbon Stoppers was launched by Yellow Buses and the Daily Echo five years ago. Each week Yellow Buses holds a Thank You Thursday when every trip taken by passengers on the day contributes to a separately administered Community Chest.
The bus company has pledged a minimum donation of £50 per week to the Carbon Stoppers fund with Daily Echo readers invited to nominate worthy recipients. Since Carbon Stoppers was launched in 2008 a total of £12,660 has been presented to 51 good causes.

Honk your horns...turn on your blinkers or flash your brights...because it's time for "Haltrans" at Caltrans. Hal Eisner is dodging the traffic commute at the Caltrans Traffic Management Center.
We have your "stop and go" tour of what they do to help your drive.
For more information about Caltrans, check out the Department Of Transportation official website HERE.
From Hal Eisner:
LIVE from CalTrans'
Traffic Management Center we showed you the many people who watch you when your
driving on LA freeways. They're not watching you in your car. They're watching
the flow of traffic trying to improve it. When there is an accident they send
out resources to help deal with congestion. There are over 10,000 electrical
sensors under our freeways that help them know when traffic is slow as molasses
or moving briskly. That information ends up on websites and smart phone apps to
help you make the right choices before starting your trip.
For more information go
to Quickmap.dot.CA.gov or www.dot.CA.gov
And, one more thought.
These guys and gals in the TMC are just like you. When they're in traffic they
say they hate it. Difference is they're trying to make it better!
On FOX 11 this morning we
invited you to write in questions for CalTrans officials. As promised we asked
quite a few of them and here are some of those answers. On the hot seat are
John Yang and Judy Gish with CalTrans.
