A General Equilibrium Analysis Of Conjunctive Ground And Surface Water Use With An Application To Morocco
AbstractGroundwater resources (GW) account for nearly 30 percent of the world sustainable water supplies. Yet, this resource, which is fraught with externalities, has largely been left unregulated. The economic literature on GW is predominantly of a partial equilibrium type, taking the rest of the economy parametrically. We analyze GW regulation in a general equilibrium setting, focusing on the stabilization value of GW under natural (draught) and economic (rural-urban water transfer) shocks. A general equilibrium approach allows evaluating direct and indirect effects of GW regulation on agriculture and non-agriculture sectors and extends the scope for water policy. The analysis is applied to Morocco by extending an existing computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to include ground and surface water (SW) resources. We study effects of (i) an increase in GW extraction cost (e.g., as a result of prolonged extraction beyond natural recharge that lowers the aquifer's water table), (ii) a transfer of SW from rural (irrigation) to urban (domestic) use, and (iii) a reduction of water availability due to severe drought. We estimate the value of GW and assess the direct (partial equilibrium) and indirect (general equilibrium) impacts. We find that GW has a critical role in mitigating the negative effects of these types of shocks.

Hi Everyone,
As many of you know I shut down First Class Glass in order to get my life
and the business in order. I had planned to reopen for business this spring.
As you can see I didn't make it. I have realzied that I just don't have
enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do. So I have decided to
shut down First Class Glass permanently. That will be effective on August
31, 2014. In the meantime The website is open and I have placed sales on
every item. The discounts range from 20% to 50% off the price as listed.
There will be no additional discounts.
Please note, since I was unable to take a complete inventory there may be
some items that are no longer available. I won't know that until I search
for the items after you've placed an order. If I no longer have an item I
will call or email immediately and let you know.
Thank you for your business and I wish you all long, healthy and happy
Caren Reed
Florentine #1, also known as Poppy #1, was made by
Haxel Atlas from 1932 to 1935. There seems to be a lot of confusion between
Florentine #1 and Florentine #2. It's really quite easy to distinguish them.
In Florentine #2 all edges are smooth and rounded whether it's a plate or the foot of a
cup or the edge of a bowl. In Florentine #1 the plates are squared and have ruffled
corners. The bowls are also squared and have a rim with ruffled corners. The
feet on cups, sugars, creamers, salt and pepper shakers, sherbets, footed tumblers are all
ruffled. The pattern is the same on both, it's just the shape that's
different. Florentine #1 was made in green, crystal, yellow, pink and cobalt
blue. The books tend to place the prices of crystal at the same level as green but
out in the real world the prices for green pieces are higher and the green is definitely
more desired by collectors. (We are sorry but we cannot email photos of each and
every piece of glass for sale. If you need to see a picture of an item to know what
it looks like we highly recommend The Collector's Encyclopedia of Depression Glass
by Gene Florence.)

CATEGORIES Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Deals, Scripts, Family Films, Newsstand, Dreamworks, Movies, CinematicalYou know that really sexy actress who played a lesbian in Bound and a stripper in Showgirls? Yeah, Gina Gershon, right. Well, did you also know that Gina and her brother Dann just wrote a kid-friendly horror book called Camp Creepy Time? Yep, they did. And guess what? DreamWorks bought it to make a movie version! And here's the best part: They hired a really solid screenwriter to bang out the adaptation.
According to reliable sources, Camp Creepy Time (which won't hit bookstores until May) is about a young boy who discovers that what oughtta be an idyllic summer camp -- is actually a haven for aliens who love nothing more than turning human children into hideous monsters and shipping them across the cosmos as exhibits for interstellar zoos. Nifty! (That sound you're currently hearing is the clackity-clack of the Gershon siblings working on the sequel.)
Turning the as-yet-unpublished book into screenplay form will be Richard LaGravenese, whom astute movie fans will fondly remember as the guy who wrote The Fisher King, The Ref and A Little Princess. His previous page-to-screen adaptations also include The Bridges of Madison County, Unstrung Heroes and The Horse Whisperer. (Plus his very first screenplay was Rude Awakening, and I think that movie is pretty funny.)
Anyway, yeah: summer camp, aliens and monsters. I smell a smash hit as I sit here kicking myself for not hatching this concept five years ago.
[Thanks to Variety for the news and the pic.]

I would speculate this is the kind of things that gnome-settings-deamon would interfere with but since it doesn't work either with Gnome itself, well, I don't know.

This sets most of that for you, the rest should be able to be done with xdg-autostart entries: https://github.com/yrro/gnome-i3

Also, you may prefer light-locker to gnome-screensaver.

Seems like you've solved a lot of the same things I have in different ways after switching to i3

My i3 config is up on github - I use this along with a fairly trivial ~/.xsession to set up my ~/.i3/config and start i3. I also have some python scripts (i3companion) here to handle some of the more advanced things:

https://github.com/DarkStarSword/junk/tree/master/config/home/.i3

Some differences between our setups:

gnome-settings-daemon - Sounds like you need this for a different reason to me. I used to run this as a quick hack to get backlight + keyboard backlight controls to work without needing root, but it always caused issues and was hard to configure without Gnome, so I now talk to the appropriate daemons over dbus/xcb to do this myself (upower for keyboard backlight, X11 RANDR for LCD backlight). More on this later.

gnome-keyring-daemon - What's wrong with ssh-add (part of ssh-agent)?

gnome-screensaver - I use i3lock with xautolock. I like the fact that i3lock actually saves power by turning off the screen and keeping it off until you start to unlock it (with the --dpms flag). Back when I used wmii I did basically the same thing as i3lock with xtrlock and a python script to keep the screen off.

nm-applet - I use wicd-curses, which is bound to mod+n for quick access (N for networks)

volume/brightness key bindings - I use my own python script (i3companion) for these instead of execing a binary each time, which significantly reduces the latency (especially on the first press after Linux has discarded the binary from the page cache). My script uses python-xpyb and python-xlib to grab the keybindings directly, so this does not strictly go through i3 any more.

In addition to the XF86 keys, I also bind other common keys for these so I don't have to think about the different locations these keys are on every brand's keyboard (I typically switch between machines several times a day). I use mod+up/down for the LCD backlight, mod+shift+up/down for the keyboard backlight, mod+square brackets for volume up/down, mod+backslash for mute and mod+shift+backslash for pavucontrol (for when I need to do something more advanced, such as rerouting an audio stream to my bluetooth headphones).

Suspend script - On one laptop I just use the laptop's Fn+F4 to do this through the standard acpi scripts, on another laptop I catch the power button (it's a Mac Air, so the power button is in the stupidest place they could possibly have conceived and not catching it is a recipe for disaster, because OF COURSE you would put the power button as a normal key just above backspace, I mean where else would you put a dangerous key like that?) and display a menu asking what to do (suspend, hibernate, shut down, reboot, log out, switch user) and invoke a suitable dbus interface to do the correct action - all without requiring root or sudo. To lock the screen on suspend I bind XF86ScreenSaver, XF86Sleep and XF86Suspend to run i3lock.

I've got a few other neat tricks as well in my config - one of these days I should really blog about it, but the meantime, feel free to check it out on github

Thanks for your comments Vincent, it's good to hear from someone who seems to know what's going on

I've tried your setxkbmap line and the toggle doesn't work. I suspect these issues on jessie/sid are the same as what these other users have found on Ubuntu 14.04:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2232343

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24055428/setxkbmap-toggle-doesnt-work

It would also explain why the toggle doesn't work in the GNOME settings (since it's probably just calling setxkbmap for us).

I should probably blog about my use of git-annex at some point

Setting it up is not hard if you use the assistant (git annex webapp). I use my own ssh server as the intermediate transfer server and I set up an XMPP server on there too.

For /etc however, I use the etckeeper package instead.

Have you considered trying if xscreensaver works without the hacks needed for gnome-screensaver?

Thanks for the tips, I am going to use (a variant of) your suspend script.

Hi!

gnome-screensaver does not work as expected because idleness is detected by gnome-session. You could run i3 through gnome-session (you need an hand-crafted desktop file).

For switching between keyboard bindings, this is something that X can handle itself. For example, look at setxkbmap us,fr '' grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle will switch between US and FR layouts.

I had tried to keep those gnome stuff in the past, but the interaction between all those parts is under-documented and can change quite often. I would stay far from gnome-settings-daemon which does a lot of things. You could look at xsettingsd which will do exactly what you describe without hidden features.

Paul Krugman and other notables dismiss the notion of a skills gap, though employers continue to claim they're having trouble finding workers with the skills they need. And if you look at the evidence one way, Krugman et al. are right. But this week an interesting post on the Harvard Business Review Blog Network by guest columnist James Bessen suggests that employers may not just be whining, they may really have a problem filling some kinds of jobs.
This past week several reports came across my desk highlighting both the good news and the bad news about the future of automation and robotics. There are those who think that automation and robotics are going to be a massive destroyer of jobs and others who think that in general humans respond to shifts in employment opportunities by creating new opportunities.
You can almost feel it in the air. The froth and foam on markets of all shapes and sizes all over the world. It's exhilarating, and the pundits who populate the media outlets are bubbling over. There's nothing like a rising market to lift our moods. Unless of course, as Prof. Kindleberger famously cautioned (see below), we are not participating in that rising market. Then we feel like losers. But what if the rising market is … a bubble? Are we smart enough to ride it high and then bail out before it bursts? Research says we all think that we are, yet we rarely demonstrate the actual ability.
China continues to be front and center on my list of concerns, even moreso than the latest Federal Reserve press release or fluctuation in the Dow (although you should pay attention). I believe China is the single biggest risk to world economic equilibrium, even larger than Japan or Europe. This week my young associate Worth Wray provides us with a keenly insightful essay on what is currently happening in China. I will admit to not having written about China very much in the past five years, primarily because, prior to Worth's coming to work with me I really had no secure understanding of what was happening there. I know some readers may be surprised, but I really don't like to write about things I have no understanding of. Worth has helped me focus. (It helps that he studied Mandarin and lived in China for a while, and is obsessed with China.)
Last week we took a deep dive into how the concept of GDP (gross domestic product) came about. We looked at some of the controversies surrounding GDP statistics that we use to measure the growth of the economy, and we noted that the GDP tool seems designed to reflect and serve an economic theory (Keynesianism) that prefers to focus on the demand side of economic activity. If your measurement of the growth of the economy is entirely defined by final consumption (that is, consumer spending) and government spending, then if you want to try to improve growth you are left with just two policy dials to adjust..
Growing geopolitical risk is on everyone's mind right now, but in today's Outside the Box, Michael Cembalest of J.P. Morgan Asset Management leads off with a helpful reminder: the only time since WWII that a violent conflict has had a medium-term negative effect on markets was in 1973, when the Israeli-Arab war led to a Saudi oil embargo against the US and a quadrupling of oil prices. And he backs up that assertion with an interesting table of facts labeled "War zone countries as a percentage of total world… [population, oil production, GDP, etc.]."
This week's Outside the Box is from an old friend to regular readers. It's time for our Quarterly Review & Outlook from Lacy Hunt of Hoisington Investment Management, who leads off this month with a helpful explanation of the relationship between the US GDP growth rate and 30-year treasury yields. That's an important relationship, because long-term interest rates above nominal GDP growth (as they are now) tend to retard economic activity and vice versa.
Every US recession that I can recall was preceded by a fall in long rates, and I doubt the next will be much different. As such, do not expect the next US downturn to arise from the Federal Reserve pushing rates higher, an overvalued dollar or even mal-investments. Expect it to result from a decline in the income of the working poor. Early warning signs are likely to show up in the shopping aisles of stores such as Walmart, average driving miles, and the price of houses at the cheaper end of the market. I suspect the lesson that will eventually be learnt is that in a modern industrialized economy there are few worse things a central bank can do than deliberately attack the spending power of the poor.
The term "smackdown" was first used by professional wrestler Dwayne Johnson (AKA The Rock) in 1997. Ten years later its use had become so ubiquitous that Merriam-Webster felt compelled to add it to their lexicon. It may be Dwayne Johnson's enduring contribution to Western civilization, notwithstanding and apart from his roles in The Fast and The Furious movie series. All that said, it is quite the useful word for talking about confrontations that are more for show than actual physical altercations.
Last year I was one of the very few who suggested that the implementation of Obamacare could cause a recession (see more below). Such a suggestion was universally dismissed by all right-thinking economists, and for very good reasons based in sound economic theory, I might add. But sometimes the real world neglects to adhere to our models and theories, and that was my concern.
I came back from Italy this week, and one of my guilty pleasures was being able to sit down and watch the last three episodes, including the season finale, of Game of Thrones. For those readers who are not enthralled with the fantasy epic from HBO or have not read the first five books (will he ever finish?), author George R.R. Martin has written one of the most complex fantasy series ever, about a world where everyone is occupied with who will sit on the Iron Throne.
"You can't tell the players without a program. Get your program here!" yelled the stadium vendors of my youth. In today's Outside the Box I bring you an excellent piece of Fed watching by Nouriel Roubini and colleagues, a "program" of the new Fed members and where they rank on the hawk-dove scale. They point out that, with a new chairperson (Janet Yellen) and vice-chair (Stanley Fischer), and with higher than normal turnover on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) – over the past year, 75% of the FOMC's membership has changed – the Fed's need for clear communications with regard to monetary policy and forward guidance is greater than ever.
One of the many luxuries that my readers have afforded me over the years is their willingness to allow me to explore a wide variety of topics. Not all writers are so blessed, and their output and responses to it tend to stay focused on specific, often quite narrow topics. While this approach allows them to dig very deep into particular subject matter, it can reduce the total scope of their research, vision, and advice. But don't get me wrong; these types of letters are very important. I benefit greatly from being a subscriber to a number of letters that give me detailed analysis for which I simply don't have the time to do the research. There's just too much going on in the world today for any of us to be an expert in more than a few areas.
I have a big-picture piece for you today from a big-time thinker, my good friend Niall Ferguson. This is a little bit different for Outside the Box, but then isn't that what this letter is supposed to be? Something to make us think and to come at a problem with a little bit different viewpoint?
For years, when asked whether I thought China would experience a hard landing, I would simply answer, "I don't understand China. Making a prediction would be pretending that I did, so I can't." The problem is that today China is the most significant macroeconomic wildcard in the global economy. To understand both the risks and the potentials for the future you have to reach some understanding of what is happening in China today. Last week we started a two-part series on what my young associate Worth Wray and I feel is the significant systemic risk that China poses to global growth.

Air India wants Boeing 787 delay compensation before delivery
By AviationBrief
Published: May 30, 2012
Air India will not take delivery of any Boeing 787 aircraft until a compensation amount for the delays of those aircraft is finalised.
The state-owned carrier's board made the decision on Monday after a detailed discussion and has submitted its plan to the country's civil aviation ministry for approval, says an Air India spokesman.
He declined to comment on the compensation amount the carrier is looking at, citing confidentiality on the matter.
"How long the delay will be depends on when the government makes a decision," he adds.
The cash-strapped carrier was due to take delivery of its first 787 in early June.
Air India has 27 787s on order and was initially scheduled to receive the first aircraft in September 2008, although that was pushed back because of delays on the 787 programme.
Media reports in India estimate that the compensation amount will range between $ 145 million and $ 800 million. The country's civil aviation minister Ajit Singh has also said that Air India will not take delivery of the aircraft until the airline and the manufacturer decide on the compensation package, the reports add.
Meanwhile, the carrier has fired 101 pilots who have gone on strike because of an ongoing labour dispute. These pilots, previously with Indian Airlines before it merged with Air India in 2007, were protesting the carrier's decision not to train them for the 787 aircraft.
The carrier will be cutting its international flights from 45 to 38 a day in June because of disruptions from the strike. Services to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Japan will be cancelled, adds the spokesman.
Singh has since reiterated that the demands of the pilots will be considered "only if they report back to duty unconditionally".

Having been to Roatan on 3 different occasions, we decided that we wanted to stay right in the village of West End as we loved the laid back vibe that it has. Searching and searching we stumbled upon Sueno del Mar on the internet and just decided to go for it. What an awesome choice!
Note that I am writing this review late as our stay at Sueno del Mar was in late February of 2011. We certainly would have returned in 2012, however upon returning home from our Feb 2011 vacation we found out that we were pregnant after years of trying (must be that Roatan air and awesome sea water) so therefore were home with our beautiful baby girl in the winter of 2012.
Ray, the owner, general manager, pancake flipper and general all around nice guy was super. Very easy going. The dive staff was also spectacular. We had the pleasure of diving with Michelle most of the week and also completed our Rescue Diver certification with Stewart. Great instruction and he was very thorough.
We met great people that we hope to see and dive with again upon our return this coming winter for the first week of February 2013.
Looking forward to enjoying one of Tita's awesome burgers - and if lucky enough, perhaps another fried Lionfish feast.
Sueno del Mar is by far our favorite spot in Roatan and we intend to go back every year!
Great value at this cute little "resort" :)

Decent hotel for the price.Posted Aug 13, 2014
My biggest drawback was the bed. It was king size and looked super comfy. Looks aren't everything. I sat down and it was very springy with little padding. It was disappointing. The pictures were nicer than realty. The hotel was very clean. The layout of two buildings is weird too. One is across the street from the other. Not bad overall, but I've had better for the price.

Decent Hotel, Great LocationPosted Aug 11, 2014
Pros: Location
Cons: Painting and carpet.
Location: This is a great location! Right across the street from The Island! Lots to do!
There wasn't anything terrible with the hotel. for the price, I am used to better accommodations, however the location was absolutely perfect for us. The rooms could use some touch up paint and a better carpet cleaning (as ours felt slightly sticky).

Nice clean comfortable room.Posted Aug 11, 2014
Pros: Conveniently located
Location: Plenty of kid activities, and right across the street from the island which had good shopping, a giant Ferris wheel and a cool fountain.
Stayed Monday through Friday, decent continental breakfast, clean room, and a 24 hr pool was great for my kids after a busy day sightseeing.

Excellent hotel right in the mix of everything.Posted Jul 30, 2014
Pros: We liked everything: the staff, the room, the pools, the closeness to everything going on in Pigeon Forge.
Cons: Can't think of much I would want or need to change.
Location: The Shular Inn is right in the mix of everything - Outlet Malls, Dollywood, plenty of restaurants and other attractions.
I traveled with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We really enjoyed our stay at the Shular Inn. The room and facilities were extremely well kept. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We called to ask for a light bulb in our bathroom to be replaced and it took only minutes for a maintenance person to come up. The free breakfast was of excellent quality and the room had plenty of seating with a few outdoor tables for sitting on nice sunny mornings. Both the indoor and outdoor pool were well maintained. The outdoor pool was hidden in the back away from the noise of the busy Parkway strip, making it easy to relax and enjoy. The Shular Inn is across the street from the Island - a newer attraction in Pigeon Forge. After a busy day of either white water rafting or playing at Splash Country, we were able to walk across the street and hear the live bands and do some shopping. It was nice to be near, but not right on top of the noise.

Great bed terrible internet, close to everythingPosted Jul 29, 2014
Pros: Comfortable room, the bed was really good, slept well.
We were expecting a whole lot better internet, it was worse then what we have at home. When making reservations to see a show I kept loosing the call, very frustrating.

Greensburg —
The Decatur County Memorial Hospital (DCMH) Spirit of Women were in high spirits Tuesday evening as women who received mammograms partook in a spa party, pizza and a movie.
2012 was the third year for the "Mammothon," an event designed to encourage women to receive mammograms while still having fun. Following the day of mammograms, for $10, women were treated to hand scrubs and Mary Kay Satin Hands, massages, cupcake decorating, nail polish, and facials at DCMH.
The back of the room had a table filled with sugary goodies such as pink punch, brownies and trail mix. Following the spa party was a movie, Because I Said So, with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore, and pizza.
Annie Wilkison, Spirit of Women coordinator, said around 50 women received mammograms as part of the Mammothon this year. Of course, Wilkison said, Spirit of Women does more than 50 mammograms a year, but this year's Mammothon was comparable to last year's.
"More women are joining Spirit of Women this year," Wilkison said.
She hopes more women will understand the importance of conducting yearly exams after the age of 40.

Three Day Potty Training
Bringing up a toddler is not necessarily a walk around the block particularly if the youngster is unpredictable.

In this particular light, three day toilet training systems are in high demand, merely because they complement a child's development in a manner that not anything else can. However, mothers ...

Philip Hammond has ruled out an alliance with the Assad regime in Syria to combat the threat from the Islamic State (formerly Isis). Earlier both General Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, and Sir Malcolm Rifkind, a former foreign secretary, said that the pressing need to combat the Sunni extremist group was more urgent than the goal of toppling Assad. General Dannatt told the BBC Today programme this morning that Britain and the US would have to speak to Assad, privately or publicly, if it wished to use Syrian airspace to bomb Isis strongholds and combat troops in the large areas of Iraq and Syria which it has overrun. But the foreign secretary poured scorn on the idea that there was any need to warn Assad before carrying out bombing raids. "I don't know where the idea comes from that Assad has to assent to a military intervention in his country. There is a civil war raging," Mr Hammond told the BBC's World At One programme. "There are all sorts of practical issues. But I do not think that engaging in a dialogue with the Assad regime would advance the cause that we are all advocating here. "One of the first things you learn in the Middle East is that my enemy's enemy is not my friend. "We may very well find that we are aligned against a common enemy. But that does not make us friends with someone, it doesn't make us able to trust them, it doesn't make us able to work with them. "It would poison
The controversial Australian selected by John Bercow, the Speaker, to be the top official of the House of Commons has broken her silence over concerns that she is not up to the job. A growing number of senior MPs have questioned the appointment of Carol Mills, who currently leads Australia's department for parliamentary services. Concerns have arisen after the clerk of the Australian senate, Katherine Laing, warned in an email that Ms Mills had no real experience of parliamentary procedure. Her department is also under investigation by an Australian senate committee over allegations that it misused CCTV and "spied on" a senator. Until now Ms Mills has steadfastly refused to comment on whether she is considering withdrawing her application for the £200,000-a-year post of Commons clerk. In a defiant statement this morning, however, she made no indicat
Two people, including a 14-year-old boy, have been arrested on suspicion of raping a young woman at Reading Festival. The 19-year-old victim reported being subjected to the sex attack in a caravan on the festival traders' site last night. She had earlier met a man and a boy near an ice cream van opposite a mobile phone charging point in one of the campsites. A boy of 14, from Surrey, and a 31-year-old man from London were being held in police custody on suspicion of rape, Thames Valley Police said. The arrests emerged as festival-goers started pouring in to see acts this weekend including Arctic Monkeys, Blink-182 and Paramore. Chief Inspector Dave Parker said: "There is currently a scene watch in place and I would like to reassure those attending the festival that crime levels remain low and crimes of this nature are very rare.

About Inspiring Places
Inspiring Places is focused on creating and maintaining public places that are both physically inviting and inviting for civic activity. Our goal is to help active citizen groups transform underused spaces into high quality community amenities. These public places include parks and public plazas, historic business districts and cultural districts, and the greenways and pedestrian/bike trails that connect them. They could be located in small cities and towns, inner-city neighborhoods, or suburban communities in Marion and Hamilton Counties. Some may connect to places in surrounding counties. Communities may already be using beautification and development programs, public art, or festivals to enhance their public places.
Why is this important to our community's future?
Generous donors and visionary leaders have bestowed central Indiana with high-quality natural, cultural, and built public places. At their best, these unique resources have proven themselves to:
- Break down economic, physical, and cultural barriers between people
- Act as economic and cultural anchors to their surrounding neighborhoods
- Catalyze community energy and build a sense of community identity and mutual ownership
- Encourage healthy lifestyles and civic engagement
- Inspire and aid tourism and other economic development initiatives
Consider Supporting:
Reconnecting to Our Waterways (ROW) is a grassroots movement that is working to improve the surrounding shoreline and neighborhoods along vital Indianapolis waterways, turning these areas into assets for residents and the community. Led by a coalition of neighborhoods and residents, private and public organizations and civic leaders, ROW identifies and supports projects that will have a lasting, meaningful impact along the six key waterways: White River, Eagle Creek, Fall Creek, Central Canal, Pogues Run and Pleasant Run. Its goal is to improve the surrounding shoreline and neighborhoods along key waterways, turning these areas into assets for residents and the community.
The DaVinci Pursuit: The DaVinci Pursuit is seeking support for its leadership role with the Reclaiming Our Waterways (ROW) community-wide initiative. DaVinci along with neighborhood residents is developing interactive sculptures along the waterways and in cultural districts. Each sculpture is unique and connects the arts with science in ways that educate, excite, and add beauty to needy and under-served areas along the waterway.

Don't expect sympathy from me. The unions backed obeyme,TWICE, knowing his war on the coal industry. What did they think would happen? That is the problem with blindly following, when you don't do (your own) complete research but vote as your told to, there are consequences. The media is still in his pocket, spinning the stories.

CATEGORIES Action, Thrillers, Sony, Fandom, Angelina Jolie, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalOver at the excellent Los Angeles Times blog 24 Frames, reporter Steven Zeitchik looks at why a Salt sequel might or might not happen. The stars, director, and producer were cagey about a sequel during their press tour, despite the fact that, as Zeitchik puts it, "its ending was left open wider than Red Square." Studios see female leads as a risk, especially in a male-dominated genre, but Jolie is a wild card when it comes to action. If anything, Jolie's dramatic work has been less commercially successful than her action films, especially since previous action flicks she's been in -- Wanted and the Lara Croft series, for example -- already had built-in audiences.
Zeitchik points out the many possible roadblocks for Salt, including the packed schedules of Angelina Jolie and director Phillip Noyce. The bigger question marks are Sony and Salt's producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and whether or not Salt will make money in international territories.
But my answer to the question posed in the title of this post is, "Hell, yes!" Valid complaints were raised about some of Salt's faults, but I was too busy watching Angelia Jolie show why she's one of the best action stars out there. Sure, a friend next to me astutely guessed what Salt would do or who was who as the movie progressed, and some of the dialogue is canned, but I didn't notice because Evelyn Salt was busy using a maxi-pad to bandage her wounds.
Between Noyce and Jolie, I'd see Salt sally forth again and again in theaters, and not just because I like the idea of a lady kicking butt. Angelina Jolie is at her finest doing action, and the stunts choreographed with longtime collaborator Simon Crane are a thing to behold. Twisty spy thrillers are a guilty pleasure that I enjoy indulging, and in a rather disappointing summer, Saltwas one of the few movies I was looking forward to; luckily, it didn't disappoint.
Would you tune in for more Salt-y adventures, or have you seen enough of Evelyn's hijinks? Is she a second-rate Jason Bourne or one you'd pay to see again?

The Meadow Valleys
At Blackwolf Run
Professionals and amateurs of all skill levels can experience a day of golf like no other on the Meadow Valleys course. Described as both subtle and devilish, it winds through meadows and charges across ravines, reflecting the natural features of the Wisconsin terrain. This championship course challenges even the experts to weigh the relative advantages of distance and accuracy, though staggered tees put much of the danger out of harm's way for the average golfer.
The Meadow Valleys course was ranked number 62 in Golf Digest ranking of America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses for 2013/2014.
