Gilroy's approach turned out to delve further into the machinations of the CIA and their secret Treadstone and Blackbriar programs, coming up with parallel schemes, one of which -- Operation Outcome -- is the focus of "The Bourne Legacy." As Gilroy says, "If you think of the first three Bourne films as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, then we're showing you Elsinore. So you thought you were seeing something that you weren't. What if there were a larger story? What if Treadstone weren't the only black-ops programme? I think that's a really promising idea." And Outcome isn't the only one introduced in the new film; others come up too, which may figure further into later sequels. Frank Marshall says "You see there are several different programmes in the movie with different skill sets. All possibilities are open."
One of the things that have set the original films apart is the complexity of the quote-unquote bad guys: almost all of the antagonists, from Chris Cooper in the original to Edgar Ramirez in the third, have their moments of sympathy -- they're not simply maniacs, but are fighting for a cause or following orders. And while Edward Norton's character, Ret. Colonel Ric Byer, described as "a puppet master," and the man tasked with tying up the loose ends of the secret ops, was said to be "a villain" in early trade reports, expect him to have more texture than that. Norton (in a rare blockbuster excursion) tells the magazine, "Tony hated it when people started publishing that I was the villain. Tony works in shades of grey and moral fog. It's too reductive to say 'villain.' I think he works in a more sophisticated way than that." Indeed, Gilroy sees a character as another manifestation of a theme that's run throughout the series. "One of the things that's always been fun about the Bourne series is that it's always been an expression of the fact that even when you think you're on the inside you can still be just a cog in a machine," he explained. "Then people start to realize that they've been co-opted and they begin to push back."
Jeremy Renner isn't worried about being in too many franchises.
After the success of "The Hurt Locker," Jeremy Renner suddenly became one of Hollywood's most in-demand leading men, signing on to several potential franchises in quick succession: "The Avengers," "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" and "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters." Indeed, he was so busy that he initially wasn't thought to be a possibility for Bourne, with Joel Edgerton, Luke Evans, Anthony Mackie, Garrett Hedlund and Oscar Isaac among those who tested for the part. But as Gilroy says, "Jeremy wasn't on any of those 'available' lists until we got to the third wave. All of a sudden his name popped up, so Frank Marshall and I popped over to Berlin, where he was making 'Hansel & Gretel,' and we had dinner with him and showed him the script." Renner signed on, a little wary of carrying the series on his shoulders, but now he doesn't seem to be concerned about franchise-fatigue and clearly is just trying to enjoy the ride. "I stumbled across some really great pieces of cinema. I got really lucky," he said. "If we get to do another one of these, right on. If Tom wants me for another 'Mission,' I'm happy to do it... If 'Avengers 2' happens, awesome. If it doesn't, awesome. I'm not going to worry about what comes next. I'll just worry about talking to you right now. I could be dead by the time 'Avengers 2' comes around. Who knows? I don't want to be, but you know what I'm saying."

I have the four Bourne movies on my DVR list with Direct TV. And my wife and I have watched these movies at least 10 times each. To us, they are the best movies that we've ever seen. We think that Tony Gilroy and his team are Masters of the Trade. Please continue. Personally, I would like to see Jason Bourne show up at Pam's trial as a surprise witness walking into the court and responding to the judge who asks him who he is, " I am Jason Bourne. May I help you find the truth?"
snazzy | July 28, 2012 12:12 PM
Renner vs Damon - not the issue. It is Tony Gilroy who DID NOT write the Ultimatum final script but turned in garbage which had to be re-done by Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon. Universal is covering for Gilroy who is unethical, nasty, and an all-around snarky, sniveling person.
mr. chris | June 29, 2012 8:45 PM
Oh and since it's Renner instead of Damon in this film you gotta replace Bourne's theme "Extreme ways" with an Aaron Cross theme, something like "Bad" by Michael Jackson or "Macho Man" by the Village People would be more fitting, or wait for it... "Karma Chameleon"
Mr. Chrid | June 29, 2012 8:35 PM
Who gave Gilroy all this authority anyway? It's obvious it went to his head or maybe he's had a major ego problem the whole time? He alienated Greengrass and Damon from the series and already trying to lay claim to the 5th movie! Saying basically if Damon wants to be a part of my movies I suppose I could find some way to squeeze you into the movie! Are you kidding! Get rid of Gilroy! He's trashing one of the best series ever! Damon and Greengrass planned on re-uniting for the 5th film but Gilroy is trying to squash that. Jeremy Renner! Are you kidding that's a major FAIL! I'm not saying he's a bad actor but in this kind of role is a joke. Why don't they call it not so... Bourne Legacy? Considering Bourne is NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE! Landing Edward Norton in this film was a success, I have to admit! It pains me to say I cannot watch the next installment to (after the Godfather) my favorite movie series of all time because Tony Gilroy and his ego is trashing it! Get rid of him! Or at least minimize his authority

Renner is in love with big paychecks, that's for sure
Alan | June 29, 2012 4:25 AM
"Jeremy Renner isn't worried about being in too many franchises." Why would he be? He's playing relatively different roles in those films, wannabe-alpha in 'Mission', support man in 'the Avengers' and top dog in 'Bourne'. With the exception of the oh-so-memorable Hawkeye, those roles have some dimension and texture, and Renner is a strong and versatile enough actor to differentiate those characters. This isn't like the Worthington situation: Renner is an excellent actor who will, creatively, make the most of whatever opportunities he has.

Mortlach Church
Mortlach Church Review
Set in a hollow by the Dullan Water, Mortlach Church is thought to be one of Scotland's oldest Christian sites, perhaps founded by St. Luag, a contemporary of St. Columba, as early as AD 566. Note the weathered Pictish cross in the churchyard and the even older stone under cover in the vestibule, with a strange Pictish elephantlike beast carved on it. Though much of the church was rebuilt after 1876, some early work survives, including three lancet windows from the 13th century and a leper's squint (a hole extended to the outside of the church so that lepers could hear the service but be kept away from the rest of the congregation).

Beach Shack, Kashid
Kashid is a small beach town 100 miles south of Mumbai. Famous for its sandy beach and blue unpoluted sea, it is a favourite destination for beach seakers who do not wish to travel as far as Goa. There are a number of shacks by the beach that have hammocks so that you can rest in the shade and sip coconut water when the afternoon sun gets too hot to bask in.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Juan Pablo Galavis Clears the Air on "Good Morning America"
Its seems as though "The Bachelor" contestant Juan Pablo Galavis can't help but land himself in hot water this season, so he made a trip to "Good Morning America" on Monday (February 10) to try to clear the air.
The hunky Venezuelan first ruffled feathers last month when he said that a gay Bachelor would be "more pervert" and not set a good example for children.
Explaining the situation to host George Stephanopoulos, Juan Pablo said, "It was a misuse of a word...Like I said, people don't understand. It's been hard because, to me, when I speak English, it happened to me through two months of filming, sometimes the words that I used were not interpreted the way that they should be interpreted, or I used a wrong word. So I will go on my phone, Google and find the right word, and do it that way."
The 32-year-old said he spoke with GLAAD about the issue and they "made sense" with one another.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The only reason why Matt Birk brought his aching knees and battered body to training camp for a 15th NFL season was to get to the Super Bowl.
The 36-year-old Birk was bothered by neck, elbow and knee injuries during his previous three years with the Baltimore Ravens, yet he never missed a start. During the offseason, the six-time Pro Bowl center underwent surgery to repair varicose veins in his legs.
Still, Birk knew the Ravens had a shot at a championship, and he wanted to be a part of it.
"At this stage in my career, losing takes a lot out of you," Birk said. "I wouldn't have come back if I didn't think there was a legitimate chance that I could help the team."
Birk, safety Ed Reed and guard Bobbie Williams head a list of longtime veterans who will be making their first Super Bowl appearance when the Ravens face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3.
"It means a lot for all the guys to have an opportunity to be a part of that," coach John Harbaugh said. "To be able to be involved with that as a leader is a huge thing. It makes you feel really good, and now you try to make the most of it."
Birk endured 11 fruitless years in Minnesota, reaching the playoffs five times without a conference title. Then, after joining the Ravens as a free agent in 2009, he was part of three more playoff runs that ended short of the Super Bowl.
Now, Birk is poised to be part of the NFL's biggest game.
"It's great, obviously," he said. "That's the goal. That's your dream. That's why you play."
Maybe Birk deserved it, after everything he went through over his first 14 years. But Birk exudes no such feeling of entitlement.

Jim Sleeper: The King of New Yorktags: NYT, New York City, Ed Koch, Jim Sleeper
I WAS almost scripted to hate Ed Koch from the moment in September 1977 when I moved, with a new Harvard doctorate, to Brooklyn, on what would become a long activist-writer's foray into the city's fiscal crisis and the effects of that summer's power blackout and looting.
Mr. Koch was winning the Democratic mayoral primary, and my cousin James Wechsler, who'd been the editor of The New York Post in its liberal glory days but was then in charge of just the editorial page, was shaking his head in a lonely corner office on South Street as The Post's new proprietor, Rupert Murdoch, turned it into a virtual press office for the Koch campaign.
Throughout his 12 years as mayor I assailed Mr. Koch — in a Brooklyn newspaper that I edited, in Dissent, in The Village Voice and even while working across the hall from him as a speechwriter for the City Council president, Carol Bellamy, whom the mayor at one point denominated, with his customary grace, "a horror show."...

BRIDGEPORT - The mother of a pregnant Bridgeport woman killed in a car accident over the weekend spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since her daughter's death.
The accident happened at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Queen Street shortly after 11 p.m. on Saturday.
Jasmine Pedroza, 26, was killed when the car she was riding in spun out of control and landed on its roof, leaving another person in the vehicle dead as well.

Her mother, Jessie Cooney, says Pedroza was five months pregnant at the time of the crash. She said her heart is hurting not only for her daughter, but also for the family of her daughter's lifelong friend who died in the crash.
Cooney fought back tears as she described how she has been coping since her daughter's death. She said her daughter's legacy will be the happy memories she left behind in the hearts of those who knew her well.
Cooney said a burial fund has been set up to help pay for her daughter's final expenses. She said a funeral will be held next week.

UPDATE: S&P Capital Downgrades WD-40
In a note dated April 10th, S&P Capital downgraded WD-40 (NASDAQ: WDFC) from Sell to Hold and reduced the price target from $74 to $67.
S&P analyst J. Agnese commented, "While strong demand in the Americas and EMEA is encouraging, we are concerned growth will be pressured by price increases needed to cover rising raw material expenses and by higher freight costs."
Looking forward, Agnese's fiscal year 14 EPS estimate remains unchanged at $2.76, which is at the higher end of the guidance range ($2.65 - $2.80).

The future of a sequel to Lionsgate's "Ender's Game" remains in limbo, following a solid rather than specactular start for the sci-fi title.
Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said Friday during a conference call with analysts that the studio will "wait another week or two" before it decides whether to make another film based on the Orson Scott Card series of 13 novels.
"Ender's Game" has taken in $32.5 million in its first five days at the U.S. box office and another $9 million overseas.
Feltheimer said that the film had been performing "virtually on base" with internal expectations. The film, starring Asa Butterfield, was financed in large part by OddLot Entertainment.
Lionsgate has been touting itself as the home to franchises aimed at the young-adult demo following the successes of "The Hunger Games" and "The Twilight Saga" films. Its next entry will be "Divergent," starring Shailene Woodley, opening March 21.
The Neil Burger pic is an adaptation of the first novel of Veronica Roth's trilogy about a post-apocalyptic Chicago. Vanessa Taylor wrote the screenplay.
Lionsgate has noted that the release date is the same slot used last year for the release of its mega-hit "The Hunger Games."
Feltheimer said that sales of "Insurgent," the third book in the series, have been "robust" since its Oct. 22 release, underlining strong support from the fan base.

For Neal Taylor, fishing wasn't limited to weekends or, for that matter, water. On one of Santa Barbara's busiest streets, the seven-time national casting champion showed a friend just how it's done, lofting his line into an intersection when the light turned red and yanking it back when traffic resumed.
"I thought, this guy is really funny," said Bob Nunez, a dentist and one of Taylor's closest fishing buddies. "I thought, I love this guy."
Just days before his death, he was distributing posters for an upcoming trout derby at Lake Cachuma, a Santa Barbara County mountain reservoir where, from boats plying quiet coves, he taught countless neophytes the joys of the outdoors.
"There are 4,000 school kids who would come through on field trips every year, and he regaled them with tales," said his wife, Linda. "There are so many people around town who'd come up to him and say, 'I remember you from that boat trip when I was 5' — and these are people whose kids are taking the same trip now."
As much a showman as he was an angler, Taylor could cast into a crowd and knock the ash off a cigarette at 30 yards or plant his line in an unsuspecting coffee drinker's cup. He honed his theatrical skills wherever there was an audience eager to plumb the psyche of a trout: UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and the Lake Cachuma booth at the Fred Hall Show, an annual fishing-tackle extravaganza.
"He'd just sucker people in with these hilarious stories that always began, 'You know, there was this time when…' " said Brian Roney, deputy director of the Santa Barbara County Parks and Recreation Department. "He was really the face of Cachuma."
A big man with a striking resemblance to comedian Jonathan Winters, Taylor could spin tales so masterfully that pals on fishing trips would immediately ask to hear them again. Some were bawdy stories perfect for a Montana campfire, but he also gave a natural actor's intensity to great moments from a life with fishing at its heart.
Taylor helped Jimmy Carter read a trout stream, figuring out just where and when the fish were likely to bite. He taught Nancy and Ronald Reagan how to cast on a pond at their ranch near Santa Barbara. When he was an Air Force recruit, he was summoned by his commander in chief — President Eisenhower — for a few days of instruction on the Platte River in Colorado.
When Ike slumped over as the two were watching a sunset, Taylor, alarmed, asked what was wrong.
"There isn't a day I don't think about those young men at Normandy," Eisenhower replied.
Taylor was born Sept. 17, 1932, in Pasadena and was raised near Santa Barbara in Summerland, where his father, Walter Taylor, ran a store. Walter, who would fish with his writer friend Zane Grey, passed his passion for the outdoors down to his son.
For most of his career, Taylor sold sporting goods. In 1981, he left a grueling corporate job and moved back to Santa Barbara, where he joined the county parks department as a naturalist at Lake Cachuma.
In 1989, Times hiking columnist John McKinney caught Taylor's "amazing spiel" to passengers on the Cachuma Queen: "At Lake Cachuma, we have seeds that walk, spiders that fly, plants that catch fish and trees that predict rain," Taylor told his audience.
Later in the day he commented on the coots skittering above the water — "the Rodney Dangerfield of the bird world," he said — and he offered a coot recipe.
The coot must be plucked, he said, and left in a stream overnight. Then it should be stuffed with an apple, wired to a split green log and smoked over a campfire for 3 1/2 hours.
"Then," he said, "throw away the coot and eat the apple."
Taylor and Linda met when they were 4-H leaders.
"Before I met him, I thought you threw a line in the water and maybe a fish would be there," she said.
They wed at Lake Cachuma in 1989, in a second marriage for each. In addition to Linda, he is survived by a son and daughter from his previous marriage and a stepson and stepdaughter from his marriage to Linda.
A potluck memorial service is planned at the lake for March 20 at 1 p.m. Guests are asked to bring a beverage, a dish to share with others and a camp chair.
Neal Taylor dies at 78; fisherman regaled generations of Santa Barbara anglers
Neal Taylor, a seven-time national casting champion, taught novice anglers on Lake Cachuma and always had an entertaining tale, like the recipe for campfire-cooked coot.

My wife and I were recently married at the Stanley House and spent the following two days immediately after the wedding. The staff was friendly, helpful, and were dilegently to meet our requests to make our wedding run smoothly. Not only did they have wedding packages to meet our needs, they would also work outside those packages to tailor the ceremony and reception to meet our needs. Meeting our needs and expectations were definitely a priority for the owners and the inn keepers. The subsequent stay was outstanding as well with original and well prepared breakfasts with one in the parlor and the other by the fireplace. I have read a number of these reviews, and admittedly there is train noise, but ear plugs and white noise makers are available. I am a light sleeper and I did not find the trains as a particular problem. Parking is also limited because of the location of the inn, but there are two parking lots that are easily accessible and spacious. But these facts should be considered, but in no way should be considered reasons not to experience this historic and hospitable house. My wife and I both enthusiatically recommend the Stanley House for a wedding or as a getaway to spend a few days. We look forward to our next visit.

I had a wonderful experience at the Stanley House Inn. The owners and innkeepers were extremely friendly and took care of our every need. The food was excellent and they had no problem catering to my dietary needs. The only complaint I would have is that the room we stayed had a very squeaky bed and this made me very uncomfortable.

This past year in the month of July, my sister Betty was diagnosed with cancer. I live in a neighboring state 3 hours away. I do have family in the area I could have stayed with, but the hospital she was in was Kennestone, it was a couple of blocks from The Stanley House. I wanted to be as close as I could be to her. I went and checked it out with my husband to make sure I would be safe and secure, since I would be staying there alone. First of all I would never give anything for the stay there. I found such caring people that treated me like family (meg) and finally at the end of my stay I got to meet Kathy and Lloyd. My sister lived 2months 16 days. I stayed there off and own there, in different room and Loved them all. The train did not bother me at all, but they do have earplugs right outside the rooms and machines that make different sounds that are quite nice, I used it. The food was subperb. I woke up to the best smells and was delighted to have the best plate with a beautiful presentation to boot. The Stanley house is kept very clean, and if I wasn't married already I certainly would be married there. It was my place of refuge, but I also felt at home each time i stayed there. so much so that when my sister passed away sept 30th 2010, I told them when I am able to get away for time of enjoyment I wanted to try their Tybee Island house. I did, but you will have to read it on Tybee Island review. But again Meg, Cathy, Lloyd I will remember you always. I have stayed at other B&B's but never felt the hospitality I was shown there. God Bless, Sharron

My 80-year-old mother, one of my daughters, and I stopped overnight at Stanley House Inn on the last night of a week-long vacation, spent primarily at Disney World. We chose this B&B because they had a room with three separate beds (two twins and a day bed) and because the price was reasonable. We arrived to find a welcoming atmosphere and accomodations that exceeded our expectations because the one room also included a small separate sitting area, two separate sinks and a shower, and a lovely little loft. Stanley House is within walking distance (3-4 blocks) of Marietta's historic district, which includes many charming shops, restaurants, and attractions such as the Gone With the Wind Museum. Although we had intended to visit the museum early the next morning and get on the road quickly, dinner at Old Ephraims was so outstanding that we decided to stay and have lunch at the same place. The three of us shared an appetizer platter with spring rolls, wings, coconut shrimp, and pecan-crusted shrimp, followed by two entrees: salmon and trout, both of which were flown in fresh from Alaska. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, including the southern breakfast provided as part of our stay.

Stayed in the Buckhead room. Bed was comfortable. Room was nice. Had an old southern feel to it. Breakfast was homecooked and delicious. Good value as well considering other B&Bs in the area of comparable price only include continental breakfast.

I have never had a worse experience in all my life. No parking for paying guests if there is a function, the staff got into a fight with my wife and I got no sleep with all the train whistles during the night. Do yourself a favor and go someplace where you are treated with respect.

This is certainly not in keeping with how we treat our guests. We hope you will contact us directly to discuss. Yes, trains pass through Marietta and we are located a block from the tracks. As locals, we do not notice it. We have storm windows and sound deadening draperies in our guest rooms. For light sleepers, we have earplugs, and white noise sound machines available.

The Stanley House is a beautiful home, very comfortable and attractive. You need to be able to climb stairs! We especially enjoyed the proximity of downtown Marietta and the clean family environment of the Saturday evening festivities. Good restaurants and shops all within an easy walk. Stampers/scrapbookers take note; there is a fabulous stamping/paper store two blocks away.

The hosts are friendly and helpful. Internet connection was not working. The house appears to be permanently set up for weddings, which makes it a bit creepy. Location is great.

Colorado Ballet tells the story of a holocaust survivor
UNC senior guard Will Figures, the team's leading scorer with 15.9 points per game, dribbles around a defender in the Bears' 78-66 win over Idaho State earlier this season. File Photo/The Mirror
"The production is a powerful and emotional experience showcasing the triumph of the human spirit," said Colorado Ballet Artistic Director Gil Boggs of Light a contemporary ballet that relives the intense, personal story of a Holocaust survivor.
The story is inspired by Naomi Warren, a holocaust survivor now living in Texas. Stephen Mills of the Austin Ballet wrote the ballet after hearing her story. Initially hesitant try and communicate such raw, emotional material through dance, Mills committed to the project upon Warren's request.
"I have a great respect for the artists who would take on such a task because it is emotionally devastating. I'm asking them to delve into the single darkest period of the contemporary world and to know this deeply and then to do something with it. That's a very brave act," Mills said.
The purpose of the production is to promote the protection of human rights and hate with art, public dialog, and the spread of information, which is why it is scheduled to show just one week before the national celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work.
"We are honored to bring Light to Denver audiences," Boggs said. "This is a work that touches the soul."
Light is the final production of the Colorado Ballet's 2012-13 season and part of The Holocaust and Humanity Project. It runs Mar. 29 at 7:30 p.m., 30 at 2 p.m. And 7:30 p.m., and 31 at 2 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit www.ColoradoBallet.org or call 303-837-8888 ext. 2. Students receive a 20% discount.

As Michael noted fracking has been around for 70 years and as a fireman back in the 60's. I stood by on fracking operations in California. Horizontal drilling or "whip stocking" as we used to call it has also been around, not just with the pin point accuracy they now have. As to "global warming", how about the "North West Passage" that explorers used or how about the fact that many east coast areas are only a feet above current sea level and there are no signs that it's any different then it was 500 years ago. The supposed sea level change is preposterous. You're telling me that scientists can measure he level of a violently moving body of water to one millimeter? Bull!

Do Schumpeterian Waves of Creative Destruction Lead to Higher Productivity? Panel Data Evidence from Poland
AbstractWe look at the determinants and consequences of job reallocation in the 22 2-digit sectors of the manufacturing industry in Poland over the period 1993-1997. Import competition and competitve market structure (weak concentration) are found to lead to more reallocation. Moreover, more reallocation seems to be associated with more poductive industries in some specifications. This confirms implications from neo-Schumpterian growth models: one channel through which competition might positively affect growth is through the reallocation of scarce resources from declining firms to rising ones.

BOSTON — Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal to change state and municipal employees' eligibility requirements for retiree health benefits is drawing harsh criticism from those workers and some lawmakers, while reform proponents argue that the present system is unsustainable and needs to be fixed to protect local services from cuts.
Lawmakers on the Public Service Committee last week faced a hearing room packed with municipal workers, corrections officers and labor union groups opposing legislation that raises the age and years of service required for public employees to be eligible for health care coverage in retirement.
Last year, a commission studying retiree health care costs recommended the changes to address a $45 billion to $50 billion total unfunded cost of retiree health benefits at the state and local municipal levels over 30 years.
Patrick's legislation proposes raising the number of years public employees work before they are eligible for retiree health benefits from 10 to 20 years. It would also increase the minimum eligibility age by five years for each employee group.
For most employees and elected officials, it would go to 60, 55 for specified hazardous duty employees and 50 for public safety employees.
The changes, if approved by the Legislature, would be applied to current employees, with some exemptions for those close to retirement.
The debate comes amid a renewed discussion of long-term benefit issues on Cape Ann, where a new firefighters' contract in Gloucester has raised concerns over the sustainability of long-term pension costs.
The proposed state changes would not address pension benefits but would reform long-term health-care benefits — including those offered to elected city and town officials, such as city councilors and town selectmen. The issue of health-care benefits has been raised in the past in Rockport, especially.
Many in the crowd at Gardner Auditorium in the State House last week wore shirts and stickers with "HB 59" with a line drawn through it, signifying their opposition to the designated bill.

Whether the job involves starting up a brand-new plaster pool or maintaining chemistry in an old fiberglass vessel, pool professionals know that a proper understanding of water balance is essential.
Less than a month after losing its executive director, a leading water safety organization has named a replacement.
The 1990s were a decade of transition — not just for the pool and spa industry, but for the rest of the world, as well.
Gary Gripp's story begins like so many others.
Weekly chemical adjustments of salt-chlorinated pools are not sufficient to keep the water balanced, according to new research by the National Pool Industry Research Center.
The traditional pool care routine consists of a sanitizer to kill harmful bacteria, oxidizer to break down contaminants, algaecide to control algae, and products to adjust pH and maintain water balance
It's no surprise that people are stressed out. The economy is tight, the workplace is tense, the daily commute is chaotic, and the demands on your time are unrelenting.
There are few cities in the United States that can boast the sheer number of casinos, shows, museums, restaurants, and shopping and entertainment venues in such a compact area as Las Vegas.
The year 2010 marked a century since the process of pneumatically applying concrete was developed.

I made this for Kayson's "Gigi". I got the idea online, so I can't take the credit. It was made from his handprints and footprint. I had to get this posted tonight, as it will be given away tomorrow before we leave for CA. (that's why I took three pictures and they are all still pretty bad!)
anyways, you get the idea right?!
I didn't have a large red button, so I cut a circle from a burgandy scrap and punched 4 holes in it with my eyelet setter. hehe The frame was $3 at Walmart, so in total this gift probably cost $3.50. Not bad!

A little about me...
I am a transplant from Texas, although I have been in Arizona longer than I lived in Texas at this point. I still say ya'll but the twang is gone. I have been an educator for almost 30 years and have loved all my roles, and will always see myself as a teacher. In fact my life has centered around my job for quite a while and it is time to find a balance. There are so many wonderful things to do in this life and it is time I did them.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for a friend first, but would like a long term relationship. Having a sense of humor is essential and being a good communicator is also important. I want to be with someone who is compassionate and cares about others, someone who has a strong sense of self, confident but not controlling, I am kind of independent and need some of my own space. Not all the time but sometime. :)
I'd just like to add...
I am quiet in the beginning of a relationship, am better in small groups but can do the big crowd if I need/have to. It is important to me to have fun with who I am with, and fun can be a variety of things. Talking, laughing, hiking, walking, movies, TV, cooking, reading, biking, golfing, truly I am open to do anything and always willing to learn new things. I love family, although all mine live in Texas, I am a big Dallas Cowboy fan and watch football every weekend in the fall.

County on hook for road repairs in subdivision
Published: Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 5, 2009 at 10:58 p.m.
FOSTERS | For two years, Angela Swiney and her family have traveled a cracked and broken street to get home.
The 32-year-old wife and mother of two said she and her husband were told when they bought the house that their subdivision, Timberlane Estates off Romulus Road, would have to be finished before the roads would be repaired.
But for two years, Swiney said, she has watched her neighbors' houses remain for sale. Now, construction has stopped altogether.
'The roads are pitiful,' said Swiney, who lives at the end of Timber Heights Road. 'They have been patched, but they're still breaking up and are awful.'
On Wednesday, the Tuscaloosa County Commission voted unanimously to fix the streets in Timberlane Estates and assume the subdivision into the county's road repair network.
It's doing so because the developer, Terry Beverley of Fosters, has declared bankruptcy, leaving about 35 lots undeveloped. As other developers also struggle in the depressed real estate market, local governments are having to finish work on roads and drainage projects.
Normally, a developer completes a subdivision, puts the final touches on the streets then hands it over to local government for maintenance and repair. The infrastructure streets, ditches and sewer lines, curbs and gutters has to be built to standards before it is accepted onto the repair list.
But that didn't happen with Timberlane Estates.
State law requires that developers take out some form of insurance, such as a bond or a letter of credit, to pay for infrastructure work the developer may fail to complete.
'That's done to guarantee that if the developer fails to make those improvements,' said Matt Jones, an attorney for Tuscaloosa County, 'there's an insurance policy, basically, that the county can call on to get the funds to do the work that he didn't do.'
For Timberlane Estates, there were two bonds for the two phases of the development. Together, they total $64,600.
Trouble is, the needed work in the subdivision totals about $140,745, according to the county's Engineering Department. That means the county, using taxpayers' money, will be needed to make up the $76,145 shortfall.
'The necessary bond was estimated in 2000 and 2002,' said Jones, noting the years that Beverley began the two phases of work. 'It was based on what it would cost to do curbs, gutters and [the] final layer of asphalt.'
Beverley informed county officials of his financial hardships as soon as it became obvious that he was being forced into bankruptcy. He was apologetic about the turn of events, but said he had no other choice.
'The banks just cut us off,' said the 65-year-old developer. 'Basically, nothing settled. I had a lot of money invested and had to declare bankruptcy.'
This move has created a problem with another of Beverley's subdivisions, Wesley Chapel, not far from Timberlane Estates. The issue here, Jones said, is that the county's insurance policy for this subdivision is in the form of lots within the subdivision.
The estimated value of the lots in Wesley Chapel is $63,400, but whether the three tracts of land within the subdivision can be sold for enough to cover the infrastructure costs is uncertain.
The county engineers haven't completed assessment of the needed repairs, so Jones didn't have a final total. However, he's skeptical that the lots will be enough.
'We can say whatever we think something is worth,' Jones said, 'but if there's no one to buy it, it's worth nothing.'
Failing subdivisions are a problem that the county may have to face for years to come, thanks to the state of the current economy, Jones said.
Officials with the cities of Tuscaloosa and Northport said they were not seeing a lot of defaulting subdivisions now or on the horizon, but Jones said its something he expects to deal with for at least the next two years.
'It may not be that I'm dealing with one a week,' Jones said. 'I may be dealing with two a year. Some developers are more insulated [financially] than others.'
Commissioner Reginald Murray, who represents this part of the county, said he wants to change the policy regarding the acceptance of subdivision streets and the accepted methods of insurance.
'I think what we're going to have to do is develop a tighter process that will not allow subdivision [developers] to extend [construction] over five, 10 years before the streets are accepted by the county,' he said. 'That's one of the problems we're having now. We've not really been on task in getting subdivisions accepted into the county's road maintenance program.'
Developers typically hold off on making final infrastructure improvements so that ongoing construction won't tear up the work. When the subdivision is complete, then that hazard is gone.
Murray, though, suggests placing a cap on construction. If the subdivision isn't completed in that time, then the developer will have to pay for the final layer of asphalt and turn over the subdivision.
'I think maxing it out at five years would be a good cutoff,' Murray said, 'because when you get beyond that, that's when you start getting pavement failures.'
He's also said he's not pleased with the idea of accepting land as the form of insurance, citing the Wesley Chapel example.
Robert Spence, the lead county attorney, said he prefers letters of credit. That's the easiest way for governments to claim the funds to complete the infrastructure needs if a developer defaults.
Bonds require an application process with the bond holding bank, which can stretch out for months.
That, Spence said, did not happen with Timberlane Estates. The bonding company already has agreed to pay its share, allowing the county to begin work on the streets whenever it chooses.
Today would be soon enough for Daniel Johnson, another Timber Heights Road resident who has lived in the subdivision since January 2006.
'If the subdivision is not going to continue,' he said, 'we'd all like the roads to be fixed.'
