We hope you liked your winter cold blast – if you could even call it that.
The Tampa Bay area is in for a warming trend this week, with high temperatures expected back into the 80s through the weekend. FOX 13 meteorologist Dave Osterberg said you can expect plenty of sunshine, too.
"Over the coming days our high temperatures are going to soar," he said.
Partly cloudy skies are expected on some of the days, but there's no rain in the forecast. The temperatures, meanwhile, will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal.
Osterberg said cooler weather should return by next week.

CHICAGO -- There are few phrases in the English language that bore an 8-year-old more than "trade show." "Agricultural field trip" might qualify, or maybe "indoor summer camp." But to draw a truly blank stare, tell a second-grader that the two of you are headed to an expo on kitchen, bath and living-room accessories.
When I recently explained to my son, Jake, that we would be making a pilgrimage to the four-day International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, he seemed completely stultified.
"Is it like furniture?" he asked. Then he added hopefully, "Are there, like, rides?"
Well, like, no. But the show offers its own brand of amusement, especially when you're not a salesman or a buyer desperately trying to find an awesome smoothie maker or the world's next Snuggie.
With thousands of new, old and sometimes bizarre products, the housewares show is an annual celebration of innovation and entrepreneurial optimism, with row upon row of ideas, from the sleek, high-end (like the elegant trapeze lamps from Light & Contrast) to the undoubtedly lowbrow (one example: the pet-potty accessory known as Cat Wipes).
My idea was to allow Jake to act as scout and product tester, on the theory that many decisions in the home are influenced by children, a hunch confirmed by Tom Mirabile, the senior vice president for global trend and design at Lifetime Brands, a housewares company, who believes that buying a blender can be a form of bonding.
"We're entering a period when a lot of Gen X and Gen Y parents are teaching their kids life skills that they are realizing will be important, and that includes home-ec skills," Mirabile said, adding that many on-the-go families consider time spent in the kitchen to be family time. "For boomers, cooking and baking wasn't cool. Now it's another point of engagement with their children."
That was exactly the type of engagement I was hoping for when Jake and I arrived at McCormick Place, this city's sprawling lakeside convention center, last week.
There were a few complications, of course — namely that Jake was suffering from a sore foot. It was a bad sign, because if there is one requirement for attending a housewares show, it is being ambulatory. But Jake's pain seemed to ease shortly after he was introduced to another time-honored trade show concept: swag.
"So can I have that cup of hot chocolate?" he asked.
Yes, I told him.
Jake looked amazed.
Mighty mug
One advantage of going to a show like this with a child is that children tend to see things that adults might easily pass by. Such was the case with one of the first things Jake noticed: the Mighty Mug, which advertises itself (foolishly, it turns out) as a device that is practically accident proof. "Never Spill Again" is its motto.
Jake took this as a challenge. "They say it can't be knocked over," he said. "How could it not be knocked over?"
En route to the Mighty Mug, mind you, we had already been waylaid several times. The housewares show is a big tent where brand-name manufacturers rub elbows with lesser-known companies like Arrow Plastic, a decidedly unflashy outfit from suburban Chicago.
It was there that Jake discovered the Sip-A-Bowl, a product whose name pretty much sums it up: It is plastic, it is a bowl and it has a straw that allows the user to consume the bowl's contents without using those pesky spoon things.
I was unimpressed, but for Jake this was a major innovation. "So if you have ice cream in the bottom, you can suck it up," he said, sounding astonished.
Indeed, many of the products he appreciated seemed to fall into one or more of the three F's: food, fun and funky.
Duck timers
Firmly in the last category were the Duck Timers from Alessi. Created by the Finnish designer Eero Aarnio, they are just what they sound like: kitchen timers that look and sound like ducks. In other words, when they go off, they quack, something that delighted my son, who promptly decided to use several to set a "duck bomb," whereby they would all quack at once.
"Those people are going to be driven crazy," he said, grinning like a Bond villain.
We left the booth as the countdown neared zero and found our way to Room Copenhagen, a Danish design company. Jake's attention was instantly drawn to the Lego-style oversize plastic storage units. His favorites were the decapitated Lego heads — just the right size for a brain, he pointed out — which the company's representatives promised could be used to hold a variety of things, including lunch meat and dirty socks (but not, one would hope, at the same time).
He also liked the bricks that were big enough to serve as a toy chest, which inspired a postmodern revelation.
"You could put Legos in Legos," he said. Whoa.
A similarly child-friendly ethos was on display at the booth for Areaware, a New York-based company with a number of hip items, including a sneakily elegant iPod dock that converts your phone into an old-school alarm clock and a series of American flag spatulas by Jacob Wasserman, good for subtly patriotic July 4 cookouts. Jake's eye, however, was drawn to the Cubebot by David Weeks, a wooden action figure that folds into a small cube, just right for a boy's pocket.
Real robotics seemed to be a big trend in housewares, from newcomers like Grillbot, which introduced a frantic little device outfitted with bristles that scrambles around and cleans your barbecue, to corporations like iRobot, which makes the remote-controlled Roomba vacuum that Jake enjoyed bossing around.
"Robot!" he shouted. "Clean!"
Nearby, Ecovacs was offering the Winbot, a nifty new gadget that combines suction and squeegee technology and promises to clean your window — inside or out — in about five minutes. Jake tested its prowess by writing "Dork" and "Jake Rocks" on a pane of glass in the display. And sure enough, moments later the scribbles were gone.
Not surprisingly, considering the state of his room at home, most of the other cleaning devices were not interesting to my son. Nor were adult-oriented items like coffee makers, wine accessories and high-performance steam irons.But plenty of things appealed to his stomach: we saw popcorn and snow-cone makers, and all manner of tabletop grills. At one point, I looked up to find Jake at the Nesco booth, getting comfortable with a plateful of mini-pancakes, bacon and toasted apple.
At the Isi display, a glass of peach lemonade topped with blueberry lavender cream, made by the company's Easy Whip, suddenly appeared.
"Foam," Jake said, sounding like a surfer. "Awesome."
Chicago Metallic's booth offered all manner of marshmallow accouterments — pans, dipping sets and cutters — as well as free marshmallows. Jake had seven before pronouncing himself in "marshmallow overload."
There were also goofy Crustache creations by Fred & Friends, which, in an odd echo of the fake-mustache fad, make it possible to create food resembling facial hair. And Holstein Housewares unveiled a line of pastel-colored machines that produce miniature versions of whoopie pies, brownies and waffles.
Jake tried them all and then promptly ran a frosting-fueled 100-yard dash. (His foot was apparently healed by a sugar rush.)
Pop makers
Zoku, a Hoboken, N.J., company, offered a line of sleek, colorful ice-pop makers that can produce a Popsicle-like treat in less than 10 minutes, an advance the company's co-founder Yos Kumthampinij described in historic terms.
"We saw the ice pop, and saw it hadn't changed in hundreds of years," he said. "And we were, like, how can we make it cool? And how can we make it fast?"
Kumthampinij and his business partner, Ken Zorovich, were just a couple of the many young inventors at the show. Another was Daniel Russo, who had combined a variety of shopping requirements — list, pen, coupon clip — into a single magnetized bag that sticks to the fridge. (Just take the groceries out first.)
Rita Floyd-Vester was responsible for the Solvetta neoprene lunchboxes, which won an innovation award at the show. Floyd-Vester, a teacher, said she hit upon the idea for the pyramid-shaped container after watching the madness that is your average school cafeteria. Her solution was a floppy zipped bag that folds out into a place mat, minimizing the spread of germy detritus.
I would have bought it for Jake on the spot (he liked the camouflage version), but it is still in production.
Along similar lines, a company called 3 Green Moms, founded by, you guessed it, three mothers, was looking for child-related solutions when it hit on the idea for Lunchskins: reusable sandwich bags that any budding environmentalist would appreciate. For artsier parents, there were compact and colorful bento boxes, complete with silverware and sauce containers, from Monbento, a French company.
It was far from the only international group trying to make a move in Chicago, something I decided to use as a teachable geography moment.
We found cool globes from Tecnodidattica, an Italian company; sleek salad bowls from Koziol, from Germany; and a variety of beverage appurtenances from Koala, a Spanish startup.
The lesson extended outside Europe when we met Dumile Ndlovu and Tigere Chiriga, who grew up together in Zimbabwe before starting a company around their so-called "floating mug," which Chiriga said was inspired by the sight of a banana holder — and coffee stains on the couch.
"My wife was yelling at me," he said. His solution? A mug suspended above a reservoir that catches drips.
Jake decided to test the theory with some water, and sure enough, no spillage.
"I get it," he said, thinking it through. "It goes down the side, but there's never enough to go over the edge."
That's right, kiddo, you nailed it.

"I really want to get in shape before I go to the gym." That's the first thing my client, *Jessica, said when she hired me to be her personal trainer. When I asked her why she didn't just use the gym to get in shape she said, "Are you crazy? I'd get laughed out of there!"
It's unfortunate, but plenty of people feel intimidated at the thought of joining a gym. Walking into a huge open room with hundreds of mysterious machines is tough and what's worse is that the members seem to be in great shape and know exactly what they're doing. It's not hard to see why so many people think they're too out of shape to join a gym.
The good news is that there are many choices for how and where you workout and each gym offers a different type of atmosphere. The trick is to find one that feels welcoming to you.
Why Gyms Can Be Intimidating
Navigating the gym can throw anyone for a loop, even experienced exercisers. I've seen many personal training clients slink into the gym for their first meeting with me, a look of fear on their faces as they wonder if they dressed right...what kind of torture will I put them through...how silly will they look in front of all these people. It's normal to experience those fears when you join a gym and it's not hard to see why when you look at how some health clubs are set up:
- Open spaces - If you're looking for privacy during workouts, joining a large gym may not be for you. In many health clubs, the workout areas are open with cardio machines lined up behind one another and weight machines sprawled out across the floor. Some group fitness rooms may be lined with windows so people can see in and some find this uncomfortable when just getting started with exercise.
- Confusing machinery - Treadmills, bikes, elliptical trainers, balls, bands, weight machines...all that equipment can be very confusing if you've never used them before. The fear of looking stupid is something we all experience when trying new things and the overwhelming choices can add to that fear.
- Aggressive salespeople - Working up the courage to visit a gym can be hard for some people and, if you're shy, an aggressive salesperson may intimidate you even more. Not all health clubs are like that, but many do put pressure on you to sign up. Many people find themselves signing over their firstborn without even being sure they want a membership at all.
- Hardcore exercisers - Every gym has regulars and some can be a little intimidating if you make an honest mistake (like taking too long on a machine or not putting your weights back in the right place). Though you'll find most members are helpful and nice, not all gym-goers are patient with newcomers and it can be scary to navigate the gym with these types of people.
- Beautiful people - Then there are the beautiful people. Though there are a wide variety of gym-goers, big and small, there are always going to be those people that seem to have perfect bodies. Many newbies can be intimidated when they see this, not remembering that everybody starts off as a beginner at one point or another.
If you tend to be intimidated by gyms, but you still want a place you can workout, there are some other options out there for you. All it takes is a little time and research to find the right place for you.
Choosing Your Health Club
There are many factors to consider when choosing a health club, from location to membership fees and contracts. But none of that matters if it doesn't have the right kind of atmosphere. When looking for a gym, you want to find a place where you feel comfortable and that might not always be at the nearest chain such as 24 Hour Fitness, Bally's, Gold's or Lifetime Fitness. Although these types of gyms usually offer a wide range of services and classes, the large spaces and sometimes aggressive salespeople can make it uncomfortable for some. For more individualized and caring attention as well as a welcoming atmosphere, check out some of these ideas.
The YMCA
The YMCA is a non-profit community service organization focusing on family health and wellness. Though each one is different, most offer a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and a great place for families to exercise and play together. Check into your local YMCA to see what kinds of programs they have to offer, both for kids and adults.

Hiring Our Heroes launched in March 2011 under the auspices of the US Chamber of Commerce. It is a nationwide effort to help veterans and military spouses find employment.
One of these job fairs is coming to Montgomery.
Date: Tuesday, July 30th, 2013, 10:00am to 1:00pm with workshops beginning at 9am Venue: Double Tree Hotel and Convention Center, 120 Madison Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36104
Local Partners: U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Greater Montgomery Chamber, the Department of Labor Veterans' Employment and Training Service (DOL VETS), the Alabama Committee of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, The American Legion, AL DOL, NBC News and WSFA 12 News.
NBC News has been committed to this effort from the beginning. Much as it did a year ago, NBC and its local stations, like WSFA 12 News, are providing extensive coverage of the effort.
In less than two years, Hiring Our Heroes has hosted 434 hiring fairs in all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. More than 18,400 veterans and military spouses have been hired by 1,000+ companies as a direct result of those fairs.
Online Resume Tool for Veterans – An important obstacle in finding employment for veterans is their inability to brand and market themselves. It can be challenging to articulate the totality of the military experience and put it into terms that employers can understand. Many post-9/11 veterans, especially those under the age of 25, have never created a resume or interviewed with an employer. They often feel that their military experience does not apply to civilian life, and leave it off their resumes altogether!
To remedy this, Hiring Our Heroes is working with Toyota and Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer on the Personal Branding Resume Engine, an online tool that helps transitioning veterans from every branch of service to translate their considerable skills into powerful resume verbiage. The tool launched on March 27th in New York.
Hiring 500,000 Heroes - On March 28, 2012, Hiring Our Heroes and Capital One launched the Hiring 500,000 Heroes campaign, the largest private sector commitment of its kind, with a goal of engaging the business community to hire half a million veterans and military spouses by the end of 2014. The campaign has already secured more than 210,000 commitments and is closing in on 100,000 confirmed hires.
Veteran Unemployment Numbers - The unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans remains at nearly 10% and for veterans under the age of 25, it's nearly 30%. With a million more men and women expected to leave the military over the next five years, this is a critical time for our country to address this issue and help our heroes find meaningful employment.
Veterans' Jobs and Education Tools Portal – Similar to the Voting Tools portal provided to NBC stations prior to the 2012 presidential election, Comcast and NBCUniversal, in conjunction with Hiring Our Heroes, are creating a new NBC jobs and education web portal.
The online portal lives as part of NBCNews.com, and features Chamber resources and tools, in addition to NBC News content, resources and local community boards.

Since mid-2011 filmmaking outfit Bloody Cuts have been diligently building towards an anthology of 13 horror shorts "For the love and tradition of UK horror".

To infinity and beyond! NASA's Buzz Lightyear-inspired spacesuit
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- December 20, 2012
- Prototype Z-1 suit looks like one worn by cartoon hero
- Rear entry makes preparation much easier than current suit
- New materials greatly increase astronaut flexibility
NASA'S first new spacesuit design in 20 years is inspired by cartoon character Buzz Lightyear, the astronaut star of Disney's Toy Story movies.
Planned for use by astronauts as they travel to new deep-space locations, the new white and green Z-1 spacesuits will shorten preparation time, improve safety and boost astronaut capabilities during spacewalks and surface activities, according to NASA.
The Z-1 Prototype Spacesuit and Portable Life Support System (PLSS) 2.0 features a large, hemispherical transparent dome helmet just like Buzz Lightyear's, ensuring America's astronauts will boldly go to infinity and beyond in true space ranger style.
Astronauts will be able to climb into the new spacesuit much quicker than the current model, and the rear of the suit features a large hatch that makes it easier to transfer between suit and space ship.
NASA engineers do not know exactly where the space suit will be used, though it's likely to be a little further away than Earth than Pizza Planet.

Trumpf has released a new punch and laser-cutting combination machine designed to reduce distortion produced in other machining and punching techniques.
As Industrial Laser Solutions (ILS) notes, traditional punching techniques employ a punch probe that first penetrates the sheet metal, causing compressive stresses, and then retracts to create further tensile stress. Repeating this process multiple times on a single piece of sheet metal, especially low-gauge sheet metal, can cause severe distortion that can lead to further machining processes or part instability.
The TruMatic 7000 machine uses lasers to help reduce these issues. The machine uses a convex die to punch holes against a recessed stripper, allowing the workpiece to bend against two separate points of contact. This "overbending" creates counter-stresses, which work to negate the stresses caused in traditional punching procedures.
The 4 kW TruFlow CO2 laser then works to process the cuts. The Trupunch 7000 features additional laser axes to increase workspace coverage. The laser features a fast cycle time of one second, which can help speed up operations, and can function free of maintenance or supervision for extended periods of time. Trumpf designed the TruFlow laser to provide maximum thermal stability for use on high-precision workpieces for components destined for medical or aerospace use.

Nearly eight thousand people attended last weekend's WTHR Health and Fitness Expo, presented by Marian University.
Held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, the expo featured: Andrew Luck, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts; Bret Michaels, legendary rocker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist; Nick Goepper, 2014 Olympic Winter Games bronze medalist skier; and Sarah Fisher, Verizon IndyCar team owner.
Marian University had more than 100 student volunteers from the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM) and the Alan and Sue Leighton School of Nursing. Students and faculty performed adult health screenings and demonstrations for children including sessions about germs, the amount of sugar in their favorite drinks, and diaper changing.
However, the hit of the Marian University booth was the mannequin from the Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences simulation lab. Attendees were able to listen to the lungs of the mannequin to learn the difference between coughing and wheezing.
On Saturday, MU-COM organized the "Celebration of Wellness 5K," which had nearly 100 people running, walking, or rolling to the finish line. Winners of the 5K received their awards on the main stage of the expo.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
While cleaning and equipping this line (two days effort by Wade and I dropping blocks and bushes) I came to realize that it might be an old school death route called Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose... Though it might not be either, and I will have to consult "the " doctor about it.
Start by scrambling to a conspicuous belay perch on the foot of the outside wall of the Carnal Caves, down, and to the climbers left of Secret Garden. Scramble into unique orange stem box and you are off!!
Small gear for the more moderate first half. I placed several decent wires and a #00, but did not stand around all that much fiddling with the small, irregular cracks before the #1 Camalot at roughly the 45' mark. Anyway, a double set on your smallest stuff wont hurt ya if thats the piece you need. Small/medium wires, and a #2 Camalot for the very top. Long runners!!

SEATTLE (AP) _ Jason Donald tiebreaking single off Tom Wilhelmsen in the top of the seventh inning completed Cleveland's comeback from seven runs down and lifted the Indians to a 9-8 victory against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
Carlos Santana hit a three-run homer and Cleveland reliever Rafael Perez (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth inning to pick up the win. Chris Perez got his third save in four tries, despite loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth.
Mariners reliever Charlie Furbush (0-1) allowed a hit by Travis Hafner and a walk to Shelley Duncan before striking out the next two in the seventh and being replaced. However, Wilhelmsen could not close the inning.
Justin Smoak had a career-high four hits for the Mariners.

As has been the case for some time now, WWE will host a free live streaming pre-show before one of its pay-per-view (PPV) events. Unlike usual, however, the pre-show for SummerSlam, scheduled for this Sun., Aug. 18, 2013, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, will run one hour instead of the typical 30 minutes.
From WWE.com:
In addition to that hotly anticipated, first-time showdown, the SummerSlam Kickoff will feature exclusive interviews and expert analysis from a panel of WWE Superstars, Divas and Legends. Plus, for the first time ever, the Kickoff event will be available on a number of platforms in Spanish.
Find out when the SummerSlam Kickoff streams live this Sunday, Aug. 18, at 7 ET/4 PT on WWE.com, the WWE App, Yahoo!, YouTube, Facebook, Samsung SMART TVs, Sony PlayStation 3, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and Pheed!
The "expert analysis from a panel of WWE Superstars, Divas, and Legends" will consist of Shawn Michaels, Booker T, and Natalya, as announced on last night's episode of Monday Night Raw.
Quite the illustrious group for the "biggest party of the summer."
In addition, the pre-show will feature the United States championship match between current titleholder Dean Ambrose and Rob Van Dam, who earned his way onto the show by winning a 20-man battle royal on Raw last night.
As usual, CagesideSeats.com will have the video stream of the pre-show this Sunday night, as well as live, match-by-match coverage of the entire SummerSlam PPV event.
See you then!

It's an odd name for a nasty condition: shingles. It has nothing to do with roofing. The Latin name, cingulum, meaning "belt," became "shingles" in early English. The Latin name is a reference to the strips of rash on one side of the body.
Shingles is a painful skin condition that can develop in anyone who has had chickenpox. The virus that causes chickenpox, Varicella zoster virus (VZV), is a member of the herpes family. It goes into hiding when a person recovers from chickenpox, but many years later if age, illness or stress weakens the immune system, VZV can reappear. It causes extreme tenderness along the path of the affected nerve. Within a few days, a blistering rash appears.
Shingles usually attacks older people, but even individuals in their 40s may suffer. Prescription anti-viral drugs such as acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir) or valacyclovir (Valtrex) can shorten the duration and intensity of the attack. These drugs are most effective if taken within a few days of the initial symptoms.
There is now a shingles vaccine, Zostavax, that halves the chance of coming down with shingles. It also seems to reduce the severity of the attacks that occur.
Some people have wondered if they should get vaccinated after they have had shingles. One reader wrote: "I had shingles many years ago. So did my friend. Her doctor gave her a shingles shot so she won't get it again. My doctor said by having shingles I built antibodies to it and don't need the shot. Which doctor is correct?"
Data just published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings (February, 2011) show that people can get shingles more than once. As a result, it makes sense to get vaccinated even after having shingles. People are urged to get the shot after they turn 60 and not to wait until they are debilitated. The shot is considered much less reliable if the immune system is weakened.
People with shingles are often desperate, like this reader: "I have recently had an outbreak of shingles, even though I had the vaccine last year. This is the sixth week of constant burning pain with the rash gradually fading. It covers the right side of my chest, shoulder and back of neck.
"The doctor gave me Vicodin and lidocaine patches for the pain. Is there anything natural that I could take for this nerve pain?"
Readers of this column have offered several suggestions. One person took L-lysine twice a day, on the theory that it helps heal cold sores (caused by a different herpes virus). She reported: "I didn't have all the after-pain and the rash disappeared fast." Another reader reported success from adenosine monophosphate injections, based on decades-old preliminary research (Journal of the American Medical Association, March 8, 1985).
One popular home remedy is Listerine: "An unemployed friend without health insurance had an outbreak of shingles on the right side of his face. It made his ear and jaw ache and the rash was becoming raw. I found a brief mention of using Listerine on shingles, and he tried it. After 72 hours of thrice daily application of Listerine, the sores have dried up and are scabbing over, his pain is almost gone and he is healing nicely."
Home remedies remain untested, so preventing an outbreak is best. The vaccine offers that possibility.

Conflict and Leadership: When is There a Hawkish Drift in Politics?
AbstractWe analyze an agency model of political competition to examine whether conflict encourages hawkish behavior, and if such behavior can itself aggravate conflict. We consider situations of conflict between a state and an insurgent group, such as conflict over a piece of land. Negotiations are carried out on behalf of the state by a democratically elected leader whose ability and ideology are imperfectly observed by the electorate. A more capable leader can take a hardline position in the negotiations (i.e. cede less land to the insurgents) at a lower expected cost (modeled as the cost of continued insurgency) than a less capable one. Similarly, an ideologically hawkish leader enjoys greater intrinsic utility from retaining land than a less hawkish leader. Two main results that emerge are: certain types of politicians may be excessively hawkish as compared to their first best policy choices, which itself increases the probability of conflict; and for any credible voting strategy, the re-election probability of a hawk is greater than that of a dove. Finally, we show that the voting equilibrium of this game does not always achieve a constrained Pareto optimum suggesting that third party mediation may improve welfare.

Bloomfield's Mayor, Scott Eckstein, and City Manager, David Fuqua, try to blame the City's insurer, New Mexico Municipal League, for paying Julie Rasor and Julie Baird $200,000 to settle the discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit against City Manager David Fuqua. Mayor Eckstein and City Manager Fuqua claim there was no basis to the lawsuits.
In my 33 years of practicing law, I have never seen an insurance company pay $200,000 to settle a lawsuit that had no basis. Eckstein and Fuqua failed to inform the citizens of Bloomfield that they approved the payment of $200,000 to settle the lawsuit. The dismissal of the charges against City Manager Fuqua was done because of the settlement agreement not because of his proclaimed innocence.
The citizens of Bloomfield can review the public record of Ms. Rasor's and Ms. Baird's lawsuit including the testimony of Mayor Eckstein and City Manager Fuqua and decide for
themselves why the insurance company and the City of Bloomfield decided it was in their best interests to pay $200,000 to avoid a trial. Information about the lawsuit is available on the U.S. District Court website, www.nmcourt.fed.us, and citizens can submit requests to the City Clerk of Bloomfield under the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act for the deposition testimony of the mayor and the city manager given in the lawsuit.
