Legislative News
House passes budget without Pinnacol raid
By Jason Kosena
The Pinnacol plan is dead, but even without taking $500 million from its reserves, Colorado House members found a way to pass a bipartisan balanced budget Thursday afternoon on second reading.
Shaffer's new Senate Prez
By Jason Kosena
Sometimes the transfer of power is easy.
After Senate President Peter Groff, D-Denver, announced he was accepting a position in the Department of Education working for the Obama administration, a number of names for his replacement began to float through the Capitol.
Candidates already lining up for Groff's SD 33 seat
By Janet Simons
With the election of Sen. Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, to replace Peter Groff as president of the Colorado Senate when the Legislature reconvenes in January, the political focus now shifts to filling the vacancy Groff leaves in Senate District 33, which includes northeastern Denver, Montbello and Green Valley Ranch.
Six candidates have emerged so far, and vacancy committee chairman Chris Martinez thinks that might be everyone.
Malpractice cap haunts Legislature's final weeks
By Richard Haugh
As the 2009 legislative session winds down, lawmakers are facing a ghost from the past in the form of a proposed overhaul of the state's medical malpractice law.
House Bill 1344, introduced April 9 by Rep. Christine Scanlan, D-Dillon, and Sen. Betty Boyd, D-Lakewood, would raise the cap on medical malpractice awards for pain and suffering — known as noneconomic damages — to differentiate them from direct costs such as medical bills, tying the cap to inflation.
Earth Day resonates throughout Colorado
By Elizabeth Stortroen
At age 39, Earth Day seems to be reaching its prime. The once-counterculture event celebrated on April 22 is now only a small marker of the omnipresent, Obama-administration-funded "New Energy Economy" — and it's everywhere.
On March 28, nearly a month before the Big Day, Rep. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, led the first official Colorado observance of Earth Hour, a global action against climate change that began in Australia in 2007, and is observed on the last Saturday of March.
Tuition bill's death burdens Romer, Groff
By Jason Kosena
Watching a bill die is never easy for its sponsor.
After a long, emotional debate on the Senate floor Monday over whether to grant in-state tuition to undocumented graduates of Colorado high schools, five Democrats joined a united Republican Party to defeat Senate Bill 170, sponsored by Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver. The vote destroyed the dreams of hundreds of undocumented students who had hoped to attend college next year but are now unsure if they can afford it.
Money-starved JBC eyes Pinnacol's fortune
By Jason Kosena
The hands of the Joint Budget Committee are tied.
With Colorado facing a $1.4 billion budget shortfall, the JBC announced last week that higher education could see $423 million in budget cuts in the 2009-2010 budget year. The cuts could force the closure of at least nine of the state's community and junior colleges and devastate the rest of the system.
DeGette upbeat on health care reform
By Richard Haugh
A major health care reform bill probably will pass Congress by August, said U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-CD 1. But the bill isn't likely to establish a single-payer system run by the federal government, the Denver congresswoman said.
Panel nixes 'value' health insurance
By Richard Haugh
A panel created by Gov. Bill Ritter last year concluded that this probably isn't the right time for Colorado to create a new health insurance program subsidizing the uninsured.
House and Senate Health and Human Services committees met jointly April 2 to hear the panel's findings. The report was required under the legislation introduced by former Sen. Bob Hagedorn, D-Aurora, in the Senate late in last year's session.
Signs predict Kagan win
By Janet Simons
Maybe it was the posters.
As we searched to discover the political factors that played into Daniel Kagan's victory in the vacancy election to replace departing Anne McGihon as state representative for House District 3, the posters leapt to mind.

Did Metro UX Elements Come From a 2009 Demo?
timothy posted about 2 years ago | from the gesture-grammar dept.68
First time accepted submitter oso2k writes "In 2009, as reported by gizmag, Robert Clayton Miller proposed a UI that borrowed from familiar iPhone gestures and translated them to a multi-tasking data-input rich desktop UI. It would seem, however, Microsoft was paying attention. Elements in Miller's design seem to have been lifted for Metro UI, such as dynamic sized widgets (tiles in Metro UI) on the home screen, swipes alternate between open, fullscreened apps, left tap for the app context menu, right tap for the system context menu. And in Miller's video at [5:41], it would seem Microsoft used the same or nearly the same font [4:30]." It's interesting to spot resemblances here, but how many UI ideas don't have more than one inventor?

Another Striker brother meets his match in Walters' super-sexy story. A strong sense of family plays an important role in this action-packed novel. This engrossing account of evenly matched alphas is enhanced by a three-dimensional supporting cast. There is a cliffhanger, but there's also a sequel.
Meredith Cross owns Haven, the bar that provides a living for her family. She's alpha for the pack that includes her sons and four half-breeds she loves as her own. When Isaiah Striker walks into her bar, she fears her life has been changed forever.
Isaiah never expected to be swept off his feet by a beautiful werewolf. Isaiah has a difficult time convincing her sons he's on their side when it comes to fighting bounty hunters and werewolf purists, but he cannot resist his powerful attraction to Meredith. Despite her fear of betrayal, she gives in to her feelings. But Isaiah's loyalty is soon tested. (SAMHAIN, 2010, 267 pp., $15.00)

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/24/13 -- Editors note: There are two photos associated with this press release.
A national survey conducted by Leger, The Research Intelligence Group for Oxford Learning, Canada's leading provider of supplemental education, shows that almost 65% of Canadian parents do not include any learning activities in their family's summer plans.
"The results of this survey reinforce that when it comes to summer learning, parents are not thinking long term - they are not considering what a summer without learning means to their child's academic performance next year, and that's a big problem," says Dr. Nick Whitehead, president of Oxford Learning. "Summer is a critical time for students. When they don't maintain their academic momentum over the summer months, they fall behind, and quite often, they don't catch up again."
That national survey also reveals that when Canadian parents were asked to rank which summer activities were the most important, academic work was not a priority.
1. Spending time with family (36%)2. Relaxing (13%)3. Socializing (13%)4. Summer Camps (12%)5. Travelling (11%)6. Exercise (8%)7. Reading and Learning Activities (4%)
According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, if there is one thing that parents can do to help their children get better grades next fall, it's making sure they are reading this summer. "Reading is the simplest and most accessible summer activity that all families can engage in together," says Dr. Whitehead. "Not only is it a great way to spend time together as a family, it's the perfect way to stay sharp this summer and get ready for next year."
According to the survey results, Canadian parents listed family time as their number one summer activity. "We can't think of a better way to spend quality family time this summer than reading a book together," says Dr. Whitehead. "Not only does it bring the family together in a common purpose, it keeps the mind sharp and helps avoid the summer learning brain drain that is too common."
For the Love of Reading - The Summer Reading Challenge!
To empower and reward children for continuing to read over the summer break, Oxford Learning is launching the first annual Summer Reading Book Report Challenge.
"Strong reading skills are the foundation for all learning, both inside and outside the classroom," says Dr. Whitehead. "We want to encourage all Canadian students to read-and write-this summer and we hope that our Book Report Challenge will motivate families to place an emphasis on reading this summer."
All Canadian children in grades 1-12 are invited to read one of the books listed in the Summer Reading Book Report Challenge (below) and submit a brief (no more than 250 words) book report online. Entries will be accepted through the website oxfordlearning.com/summerreading. Visit the webpage for contest rules and regulations.
Grades 1-5 Grades 9-12The Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card Williams Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch AlbomMiss Nelson is Missing!, by Harry The Help, by Kathryn Stockett AllardThe Adventures of Captain Underpants, by Dav PilkeyGrades 6-8 FrenchBridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Doug l'aventurier chez les gorilles, Paterson by Marie-Nicole MarchandA Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine En mai, fais ce qu'il te plait, by L'Engle Andre MaroisHoles, by Louis Sachar Les Exploits d'un heros reticent (mais extremement seduisant), by Maureen Fergus
The challenge is open to all Canadian students in Grades 1 - 12 and judges will select 4 entries (one in each category) to win a $100 Chapters Gift Card. The Grand Prize winner will receive an iPad mini.
Tips for Parents: How to Prevent the Summer Slide for Your Child
Parents can take an active role in helping students prevent the academic summer slide by encouraging them to practice reading and writing every day. What can you do to keep your child's brain active this summer? Here are some tips from Oxford Learning's educational experts:
-- Encourage your children to keep reading! Reading continually improves comprehension skills and develops vocabulary. Get kids their own library card and go to the library every weekend so they can pick their own reading material or give them a digital literacy boost with e-Readers for kids!-- Summer movies can also help reel in unwilling readers. A summer release may draw children into reading the accompanying book series.-- Give your child a journal or scrapbook and encourage them to write. Tech savvy kids can create and update their own blog.-- Limit screen time. Balance media consumption with reading time. Books are recreation as much as video games, surfing the Internet, or watching TV. Variety and balance is key!-- Play games such as Sudoku or crossword puzzles. Any game with strategy and planning is great to keep the mind working. Find ways to challenge children's minds!-- Enrol your child in a class at Oxford Learning. With more than 120 locations across Canada and programs suitable for children from preschool to high school, Oxford Learning Summer Programs help ensure that students of all ages spend time exploring, discovering, creating and learning.
"Oxford Learning's summer programs ensure that your child's break from school is not a break from learning," says Dr. Whitehead. "Learning is a part of life, not just a part of school. By attending our summer learning programs, students head back to school informed, motivated, and ready to hit the ground running."

Eisenmenger syndrome is a condition that affects blood flow from the heart to the lungs in some babies who have structural problems of the heart.
Eisenmenger syndrome is caused by a defect in the heart. Most often, babies with this condition are born with a hole between the two pumping chambers -- the left and right ventricles -- of the heart (ventricular septal defect). The hole allows blood that has already picked up oxygen from the lungs to flow back into the lungs, instead of going out to the rest of the body.
Other heart defects that can lead to Eisenmenger syndrome include:
Over time, increased blood flow can damage the small blood vessels in the lungs. This causes high blood pressure in the lungs. As a result, the blood backs up and does not go to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Instead, the blood goes from the right side to the left side of the heart, allowing oxygen-poor blood to travel to the rest of the body.
Eisenmenger syndrome usually develops before a child reaches puberty. However, it also can develop in young adulthood.
The doctor will examine the child. During the exam, the doctor may find:
The doctor will diagnose Eisenmenger syndrome by looking at the patient's history of heart problems. Tests may include:
The number of cases of this condition in the United States has dropped because doctors are now able to diagnose and correct the defect sooner, before the irreversible damage to the small lung arteries occurs.
Older children with symptoms may have blood removed from the body (phlebotomy) to reduce the number of red blood cells, and then receive fluids to replace the lost blood (volume replacement).
Children may receive oxygen, although it is unclear whether it helps to prevent the disease from getting worse. Children with very severe symptoms may need a heart-lung transplant.
How well the infant or child does depends on whether another medical condition is present, and the age at which high blood pressure develops in the lungs. Patients with this condition can live 20 to 50 years.
Call your health care provider if your infant develops symptoms of Eisenmenger syndrome.

Ellen Albertini Dow (November 16, 1913)[1][2] is an American character actress. She portrays feisty old ladies and may be best known as the rapping grandmother in The Wedding Singer (1998). Other film roles include the elderly lady who "outs" her grandson in Wedding Crashers, Disco Dottie in 54, the recipient of Christopher Lloyd's character's slapstick in Radioland Murders, and a choir member in Sister Act.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Ellen Rose Albertini was born in 1913 (but would later shave five years off her age), the seventh and youngest child of ethnic Italian immigrant parents, Ellen and Oliver, from Tyrol, Austria. Oliver was a car dealership owner.[4] She studied dance and piano at age five and would later move to New York, where she studied and worked with legendary dancers Hanya Holm and Martha Graham.[citation needed]
Dow studied acting with Michael Shurtleff and Uta Hagen, and worked with mimes Marcel Marceau and Jacques Lecoq in Paris. She performed comedy in the Borscht Belt and at the Second Avenue Theatre in New York with Menasha Skulnik and Molly Picon. She performed in summer stock companies in Massachusetts, Long Island, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, and directed and choreographed stage productions such as The Beggar's Opera at Carnegie Recital Hall, The Magic Flute, and Julius Caesar with German musical director Hugo Strelitzer. She founded the Albertini Mime Players and was its producer for 19 years.[citation needed]
Her television work includes appearances in such television series as Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Golden Girls, Just Shoot Me, Will & Grace, Seinfeld, Hannah Montana, Scrubs, Sister, Sister,[3] According to Jim, Six Feet Under, and My Name is Earl.[3]
She earned a B.A. and M.A. in theatre from Cornell University, where she became a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, graduating in 1935.[5]

Oct. 26--ELON -- Next week, Elon University communications instructor Doug Kass will be in Abu Dhabi at a film festival watching his own documentary, "Emptying the Skies."
Kass' documentary premiered at the Sheffield Docs Film Festival in England in June and had its U.S. premiere this month at the Hampton's Film Festival in New York, where it won the Zelda Penzel, "Giving Voice to the Voiceless" Award.
This is the first full-length film Kass directed himself, but he has a long resum working for other filmmakers and making his own short works.
"It's something I've wanted to do for a long time so it's nice to accomplish that goal," Kass said. "Until you do it you don't realize how much is involved."
The documentary is about the tradition of often illegal songbird hunting in Europe where small migrating birds are a delicacy.
The glue and net traps all over the Mediterranean, France and Near East kill close to 30 million birds every year, according to Kass' documentary, and threatens the survival of some kinds of birds.
Kass says it is just one example of the harm people are doing to animal habitats around the world threatening everything from insects to whales.
"We learn new things every day," Kass said, "and generally the news is not good."
Kass is a fan of novelist Jonathan Frazen, author of "The Corrections" and "Freedom." Franzen is also a bird watcher, often called birding. He wrote an essay for the New Yorker called "Emptying the Skies" about European bird hunting.
Kass based his documentary on Franzen's essay and opened it with an interview with Franzen.
Then Kass went to France and Italy to follow the volunteers tromping through the countryside freeing birds and destroying traps.
The film's trailer shows a lot of confrontations between poachers and activists.
"In theory it's great to make a film where you get to go to Europe," Kass said. "In practice it's pretty intense."
Getting the film right meant getting his two-man crew and equipment through rough country following the people trying to outsmart the poachers, and make it all look good at the end.
"We had to scale a mountain in the dark, and it's dangerous," Kass said. "I fell a couple of times."
The subject was new territory for Kass. He needed to learn a lot quickly about a complicated subject, all while doing his day job at Elon and having a life with his wife and daughters.
"I like teaching and I don't want to do it poorly," Kass said. "I don't want to do anything poorly."
There was no deadline on the project, Kass said, but he sees this as an urgent problem, so he wanted to get his message out quickly. It was a rough pace.
"I wouldn't want to do it every year, I'll tell you that," Kass said.
Kass said he is glad to have the issue get more attention around the world. He is also excited about the opportunities the film is bringing him, like going to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
It is an exciting place for a filmmaker to spend time, Kass said, since the government of the United Arab Emirates is trying to build up its own film industry and doing well.
The whole Middle East is attractive for filmmakers, Kass said, since Israel, Iran, Egypt and others have been producing a lot of interesting and innovative films in the past few years.
In November, the film will be at festivals in Toronto, Manhattan and St. Louis. Kass said it probably will not be available on the Internet until sometime next year.

To love a gal with extra vision
Tender words to you I speak,

I don't envy her when she hits 40 or 45.
I don't envy her now!
Just don't glance at another woman if you're with her!
Do these extra set of eyes make me look fat?

Dim Sum and Parking
I was thinking of going down to Boston for dim sum this weekend (do they do it on Saturdays as well?) and was wondering what people felt was the best place for authentic dim sum since reviews seem to be middling across the net.
Also do you know where I could park in china town for un-exorbitant prices?
actually if you know anywhere around the state besides boston that does good dim sum, that'll be great as well.
I think Hei la Moon validates parking..and yes, served Sat. I'm going to Winsor cafe tomorrow..more in the center of Chinatown. There'sa big lot across the street; but I don't know the cost or if they validate.
HLM is carts. Winsor is order off the menu. I also like China Pearl (carts) but don't know if they validate parking.
There are "outside of Boston" dim sum places but I'm not knowledgeabe about them.
Maybe others will weigh in.
re: 9lives
You might also consider (New) China Pearl in Woburn, which has free parking. Try to get there before 11:30, and don't miss their shrimp on fried cruller.
re: 9lives
Hei La Moon does validate parking - it's a little wacky. You pay full price to park at the garage above the restaurant, then go down to the restaurant and have your dim sum. On the way out, you stop at the restaurant's front desk and give them more money (it's either $5 or $6) for a parking voucher. You give the parking voucher to the garage, and they refund all the money you paid to park in the first place (so your net cost is just for the voucher). The dim sum at Hei La Moon is pretty good too.
re: blink617
Chow Chau City on Morrisey Blvd has plenty of free parking.
re: 9lives
I've done the Hei La Moon parking deal before, it's exactly as blink617 described. However, that garage is tight with small spaces. But in any case, I don't like the quality of dim sum at HLM anymore, and I go to Winsor these days.
I now park at the South Station bus terminal garage. It's on the roof and not covered. On weekends, they charge $8 flat fee for the whole day. While it's a bit more expensive than some other options in C-town, it's less painless for me than trying to squeeze into those tiny spots in most Chinatown lots/garages.
re: ScubaSteve
Since the silver line eliminated much of the meter parking in Chinatown, almost every store and restaurant in Chinatown is now validating parking for the Beach Street garage. I think it is $2 per hour up to $3 hour max ($6 max) with validation. Look for the sign in the window and don't be shy about asking to get your parking ticket validated.
re: dalliance
you might park somewhere and take the orange line or red line.
I had an excellent Dim Sum meal at the China Pearl in Quincy, at the Kam Man Marketplace shopping center. There is plenty of free parking there, and the place is huge, so the lines aren't that long. They had a wide variety of items, some of which I hadn't seen before. All of it was fresh and tasty.
re: SuperFineSugar
I believe it's the same owners, yes. not withstanding other opinions, I thought the Dim Sum there was excellent, and so did the other people in my party. We actually are planning to go back this coming Sunday for brunch.
re: lipoff
It's actually $8 all day (on weekends) at the South Station bus parking garage, as mentioned in my previous post.
re: y2000k
Whoops, my apologies y2000k, I didn't see your post. You're right that the parking fee is now $8/day on weekends (much more expensive on weekdays, by the way). I remember when it was just $6/day though! =)
re: queeny
Queeny, can you elaborate on the difference between China Pearl and Grand Chinatown?
re: globalgourmand
I found at China Pearl Quincy---all the dim sum with sauce, such as clam in black bean sauce,steam tripe stew, are kind of sloppy, & the flavor of most are not well balance, too much MSG or sugar. they seem to taste the same.
Grand ChinaTown... ( again, I am not sure the name), all the dim sum have very clean flavor, the sesame ball fresh & crisp; steam tripe... nice clean flavor, nice texture, with a bite, not too soft nor too crunchy; Shrimp dumpling (HAGao) can taste the shrimp.
also big difference in cleanliness too.
I went with my husband to ChinaPearl Quincy , afterward we both decide we won't go there again, & a wk later 5 of us went to Grand Chinatown, all of us like it a lot.
I am not comparing it to the China Pearl in Chinatown, haven't been there a while
re: queeny
My parents tried China Pearl in Quincy and were not impressed either. Not that it's terrible, but just not really good. I haven't been back since it opened, but I personally didn't care for the buffet they offered as well - filled with bad buffet food, and a few dim sum items. Good dim sum is marked to by the delicacy of the preparation and balance of texture (i.e., thin dumpling skins with just the right texture, bite size items with distinct tastes). The chef/cook just didn't seem to be skilled at this.
If they have dim sum in Quincy, they much prefer Grand Chinatown. They think the food has the better balance and flavor than China Pearl. The only downside is that it's a decent medium sized restaurant, but small to be pushing dim sum carts around. And as it's become more popular, the waits are getting just as long as the waits in Chinatown. It's technically walking distance for me, and a few more minutes for my parents so thankfully we don't need to make a special effort to get there.

Wiki Notes....
For most deer the male is called a buck and the female is a doe, but the terms vary with dialect, and especially according to the size of the species. For many larger deer the male is a stag and the female a hind. Antlers grow as highly vascular spongy tissue covered in a skin called velvet. Before the beginning of a species' mating season, the antlers calcify under the velvet and become hard bone. The velvet is then rubbed off leaving dead bone which forms the hard antlers. After the mating season, the pedicle and the antler base are separated by a layer of softer tissue, and the antler falls off.
Deer live in a variety of biomes ranging from tundra to the tropical rainforest. While often associated with forests, many deer are ecotone species that live in transitional areas between forests and thickets (for cover) and prairie and savanna (open space). The majority of large deer species inhabit temperate mixed deciduous forest, mountain mixed coniferous forest, tropical seasonal/dry forest, and savanna habitats around the world. Clearing open areas within forests to some extent may actually benefit deer populations by exposing the understory and allowing the types of grasses, weeds, and herbs to grow that deer like to eat. Additionally, access to adjacent croplands may also benefit deer. However, adequate forest or brush cover must still be provided for populations to grow and thrive. Deer have long had economic significance to humans. Deer meat, for which they are hunted and farmed, is called venison. Deer organ meat is called humble. Automobile collisions with deer can impose a significant cost on the economy. In the U.S., about 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions occur each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Those accidents cause about 150 human deaths and $1.1 billion in property damage annually.

- In my life there has to be some drama every week it seems. This week it's poison ivy and it's been spreading. I'm kind of obsessed with it, I'm looking at it all the time because it looks like something that would be on The Swamp Thing or whatever. I make sure to show it to Manly Man every 1/2 hour or so.It's so freakish, I'm like a sideshow. I did take one macro picture of the one on my leg but it's so hidious I've kept it private on flickr.
- I'm always left out of what the cool kids are doing, I'm not sure if I purposely go in the opposite direction or if it just happens that way. First it was iThings, then it was this wii stuff (I still think it sounds like some sex toy) and now it's the olympic games. You guys just keep on chatting about it and I'll play with The Wonder Twins.
- It's ironic that I've always wanted to go to a kickass halloween party my whole life, I even have a costume idea I've held onto for 10+ years. Problem is, I've never had a good party to go to! I mean, there is this party of course but we can't afford to go or take the time off from work. I'd throw a party if we had a house the right size. Every year we seem to get invited to a somewhat local Halloween party but it's never with people we know, what fun is there in that?
- If anyone wants to post a video response to Manly Man's Singalong we encourage it. What is better than one guy singing and making an ass of himself? A whole bunch of people singing and making asses of themselves. Did you rate it yet? I don't think you did.
- We are going to try again to go see the Dark Knight but everytime we do it's sold out. Does it matter that we haven't seen the last one?

This is about as vividly fresh-fruited, exuberant, vibrant, and capital-"M" mineral as you could ask for in any wine!

In the often Byzantine world of Harris County Republican politics, George Bishop was a player, a behind-the-scenes icon always willing to help, an angel to those seeking elective office. He was a Republican when being one wasn't cool in Texas, when virtually the only recognizable local name in the GOP was the late Albert Fay.
With the party's current domination in Harris County, it would appear that Bishop would be finally savoring the ultimate success of that early and long political investment in the GOP as a growth stock.
Outward indications, a posh country retreat and other trappings of affluence, are evidence of Bishop's arrival to the good life. Bishop, 58, spent the Thanksgiving week with his family -- his wife is respected state District Judge Caprice Cosper -- in the exclusive San Diego enclave of La Jolla, showing his four-year-old son Balboa Park and the zoo.
However, the outlook is anything but comfortable for this former party activist. Bishop is a fallen angel, awaiting punishment and a likely prison term in March on his three-count conviction for evading more than $700,000 in income taxes.
While his many supporters argue about prosecution motives and other aspects of the case, one point is painfully clear: Bishop, who could move with equal grace through the practical world of the courtroom and the ethereal universe of the privileged, is a self-made man who self-destructed.
The rarefied ranks of the wealthy represented a long rise for George Bishop. He grew up in a house along the railroad tracks in Wichita Falls. His father, George Jr., worked as a pepper salesman for McCormack Tea and Spice. He went on to peddle janitorial supplies. Bishop's eventual inheritance from that family estate would total $262.
After graduation from high school, Bishop paid his own way through college. In 1966 he got his law degree from the University of Texas.
Like most voters in Texas in that earlier era, Bishop's family was Democratic. They didn't relate to his early interest in Republican politics.
"They thought it was crazy," he says.
However, even at a young age Bishop seemed to have a keen ability to size up political potential. As a youth, he was active in the Wichita Falls campaign of a fledgling state legislative candidate named John Tower. Tower lost that race, years before he would go on to become the longtime U.S. senator from the Lone Star State.
Bishop continued his party work when he got to Houston, where he was determined to be a behind-the-scenes player and not run for office.
"I decided that you could be a good lawyer or a good politician, but not both," he says. "I saw lawyers who were in the Legislature who I would never have represent me."
A key to his eventual success was that this GOP moderate got along well with Democrats, unusual for some in today's party.
Results of his work are indisputable. A covey of Republican officeholders owe much to Bishop. He was instrumental in early campaigns of Tower for Senate and George Bush the elder. He ran Kay Bailey Hutchison's first race for state representative from a district in Bellaire. And when Paul Eggers sought the governor's seat three decades ago, Bishop led his Harris County campaign.
Former Republican county chair Betsy Lake saw Bishop's influence at work during her tenure. "He was one of the old Republicans who go way back," she says. "When I was chairing, you always spoke with him. But times change. In the last couple of years, you don't hear much about him. But for a long time, he definitely was [a force]."
For a time in his career, Bishop shared a law office with David Hittner, who ascended to a state civil court bench and on to the federal judiciary. Bishop's early law partner William Tipton says that while the public did not see his influence, it was there nonetheless, in spades. "He was very successful," Tipton says. "He was a kingmaker. Candidates had to get his blessing. He has always been powerful in the Republican Party."
And Bishop solidified his status as a GOP insider by reaching back into a tradition of his youth. In 1948, when he was seven years old, the elder Bishop started taking him on bird hunts as a father-and-son affair. In 1967 Bishop revived that ritual with his friends.
He now invites about 20 of his closest associates on an annual October pheasant hunt near Bonesteel, South Dakota. Among the participants are political heavyweights and members of the judiciary here. This year's hunt included appellate justices Michael Schneider and Don Wittig, retired judge Ross Sears and state district judges Tad Halbach and Patricia Hancock.
Other regular Bishop events were his post-Election Night parties, which drew more of the influential crowd. Former U.S. attorney Ron Woods attended some of those events.
"George would help a lot of the Republicans in Harris County," Woods says. "He gave advice; he held fund-raisers. On Election Night he would have many of the candidates at his office. Many of the eventual winners were there."
"There was no invitation list; people just dropped by," says Bishop's longtime legal assistant, Terri Rayburn. "Mr. Bishop has been doing this for so long that people just know to come."

In her much-anticipated new novel, the New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander saga brings back one of her most compelling characters: Lord John Grey--soldier, gentleman, and no mean hand with a blade. Here Diana Gabaldon brilliantly weaves together the strands of Lord John's secret and public lives--a shattering family mystery, a love affair with potentially disastrous consequences, and a war that stretches from the Old World to the New. . . .
In 1758, in the heart of the Seven Years' War, Britain fights by the side of Prussia in the Rhineland. For Lord John and his titled brother Hal, the battlefield will be a welcome respite from the torturous mystery that burns poisonously in their family's history. Seventeen years earlier, Lord John's late father, the Duke of Pardloe, was found dead, a pistol in his hand and accusations of his role as a Jacobite agent staining forever a family's honor.
Now unlaid ghosts from the past are stirring. Lord John's brother has mysteriously received a page of their late father's missing diary. Someone is taunting the Grey family with secrets from the grave, but Hal, with secrets of his own, refuses to pursue the matter and orders his brother to do likewise. Frustrated, John turns to a man who has been both his prisoner and his confessor: the Scottish Jacobite James Fraser.
Fraser can tell many secrets--and withhold many others. But war, a forbidden affair, and Fraser's own secrets will complicate Lord John's quest. Until James Fraser yields the missing piece of an astounding puzzle--and Lord John, caught between his courage and his conscience, must decide whether his family's honor is worth his life.

Chapter One All in the Family
London, January 1758 The Society for Appreciation of the English Beefsteak, A Gentlemen's Club
To the best of Lord John Grey's knowledge, stepmothers as depicted in fiction tended to be venal, evil, cunning, homicidal, and occasionally cannibalistic. Stepfathers, by contrast, seemed negligible, if not completely innocuous.
"Squire Allworthy, do you think?" he said to his brother. "Or Claudius?"
Hal stood restlessly twirling the club's terrestrial globe, looking elegant, urbane, and thoroughly indigestible. He left off performing this activity, and gave Grey a look of incomprehension.
"Stepfathers," Grey explained. "There seem remarkably few of them among the pages of novels, by contrast to the maternal variety. I merely wondered where Mother's new acquisition might fall, along the spectrum of character."
Hal's nostrils flared. His own reading tended to be confined to Tacitus and the more detailed Greek and Roman
histories of military endeavor. The practice of reading novels he regarded as a form of moral weakness; forgivable, and in fact, quite understandable in their mother, who was, after all, a woman. That his younger brother should share in this vice was somewhat less acceptable.
However, he merely said, "Claudius? From Hamlet? Surely not, John, unless you happen to know something about Mother that I do not."
Grey was reasonably sure that he knew a number of things about their mother that Hal did not, but this was neither the time nor place to mention them.
"Can you think of any other examples? Notable stepfathers of history, perhaps?"
Hal pursed his lips, frowning a bit in thought. Absently, he touched the watch pocket at his waist.
Grey touched his own watch pocket, where the gold and crystal of his chiming timepiece--the twin of Hal's--made a reassuring weight.
"He's not late yet."
Hal gave him a sideways look, not a smile--Hal was not in a mood that would permit such an expression--but tinged with humor, nonetheless.
"He is at least a soldier."
In Grey's experience, membership in the brotherhood of the blade did not necessarily impute punctuality--their friend Harry Quarry was a colonel and habitually late--but he nodded equably. Hal was sufficiently on edge already. Grey didn't want to start a foolish argument that might color the imminent meeting with their mother's intended third husband.
"It could be worse, I suppose," Hal said, returning to his moody examination of the globe. "At least he's not a bloody merchant. Or a tradesman." His voice dripped loathing at the thought.
In fact, General Sir George Stanley was a knight, granted that distinction by reason of service of arms, rather than birth. His family had dealt in trade, though in the reasonably respectable venues of banking and shipping. Benedicta Grey, however, was a duchess. Or had been.
So far reasonably calm in the face of his mother's impending nuptials, Grey felt a sudden drop of the stomach, a visceral reaction to the realization that his mother would no longer be a Grey, but would become Lady Stanley--someone quite foreign. This was, of course, ridiculous. At the same time, he found himself suddenly in greater sympathy with Hal.
The watch in his pocket began to chime noon. Hal's timepiece sounded no more than half a second later, and the brothers smiled at each other, hands on their pockets, suddenly united.
The watches were identical, gifts from their father upon the occasion of each son's twelfth birthday. The duke had died the day after Grey's twelfth birthday, endowing this small recognition of manhood with a particular...

Just like the R200s , the P200s take place in the Scuderia collection — except this time, it uses the design of pit crew headsets for inspiration. The mock carbon fibre, shiny silver and red plastic riffs further off the Ferrari theme, and if red doesn't suit you, you can get a black version instead. If you're all things Ferrari, this is likely what you're aiming for in a set of headphones. If you're more on the subtle side of design, you may want to steer clear.
It's not obvious in the images above, but it must be said that the red plastic that Logic3 has elected to use makes the headphones look like a cheap toy, with only the leather-like ear cups offsetting the impression.

So the Browns have signed QB Jake Delhomme to a two-year deal, a contract signed before Delhomme could even meet with the New Orleans Saints. The depth chart now contains Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, and, for the time being, Brady Quinn.

School Reviews
- February 28, 2014 - My daughter has attended Finney since 2009. We have been so pleased with what Finney has been able to offer her academically, socially, and spiritually. We consider ourselves part of the Finney Family and that is truly how it feels! - Posted by Parent
- September 26, 2013 - I am a teacher who retired from Finney. This is an excellent school for academics, sports, and Christian spiritual/values education. I especially like that the school is run by several different churches and pulls in children from many surrounding school districts in both Monroe and Wayne Counties. - Posted by Teacher
- March 14, 2013 - The Charles Finney School has been the best decision we made for our son. He loves going to school and participating in all academic and athletics the school has to offer. The teacher and the staff are fabulous and always aware of what''s happening with the children. The school is a very welcoming place for parents and families alike. Our son started going to Finney in the 8th grade and we truly wish we had enrolled him years ago. My son has grown a lot socially, academically and spiritually at Finney. Even though we do not live in the Penfield area, the distance has not been a problem for our family. Great school all around. - Posted by Parent
- March 05, 2013 - Education is great and my kids are all thriving at Finney! Sports, music and other extra-curricular options are great for a school this size as well!. - Posted by Parent
- March 05, 2013 - Outstanding Christian school, strong emphasis both on the spiritual and academics, both of my kids attend, highly recommended. - Posted by Parent
- March 05, 2013 - The Charles Finney School is a dynamic and rewarding institution for students, teachers and families. Our students continue to win awards in art, writing, music, robotics and sports. Several of our teachers have been nominated by students and have won awards for their work at both the elementary and high school levels. A new state of the art science lab will be ready for use in the fall of 2013, and most of our classrooms use either SMARTBoard technology, Promethean technology, or large flat panel TVs synched to ipads. At Finney we focus on the whole person and strive to help our students grow spiritually, academically, emotionally and physically. If you are interested in providing your children with the opportunity to do something greater on a daily basis, consider The Charles Finney School. - Posted by Teacher

Shotgun Joe's advice: Don't take it
This week, Biden shared advice he gave to his wife. "I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. You don't need an AR-15 - it's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
The man put in charge of the Obama administration's gun-control initiative recommends firing two warning blasts from a double-barreled shotgun. What if the intruder is not scared away? You'd better be quick at reloading. Also, how is public safety improved by encouraging people to fire shotguns off the balcony instead of taking aim (whether firing or not) directly at intruders?
The worst part of this advice, though, is that yet again the administration ignores the reason we have a Second Amendment. It is not for sport or self-defense. Those are excellent uses for weapons kept legally under the Second Amendment. But the amendment exists because weapons are "necessary to the security of a free state." Funny how the administration never brings that up.

High return rate for Galaxy Tab -- is it tablet remorse?
Summary: Whether the Samsung Galaxy Tab is selling as fast as we originally thought or not, it is being reported that 16 percent of those sales are resulting in returns for refunds.
Whether the Samsung Galaxy Tab is selling as fast as we originally thought or not, it is being reported that 16 percent of those sales are resulting in returns for refunds. The initial response to a high return rate is normally that the product is not very good, but my own experience with the Tab leads me to believe that two other factors are in play. Many buyers may be realizing they just don't need a tablet, and others may be expressing buyer's remorse over the data contract the Tab requires.
I'm not going to defend how good the Galaxy Tab is, while I like it not everyone will. That's the nature of handheld devices, they generate very personal responses. But I can state that for what a 7-inch tablet can do, the Tab does that very well. I've corresponded with many Tab owners who feel the same way. I've also spoken with a number of Tab buyers who returned them for refunds during the grace period, and they all fell in the two camps I've described.
Some Tab returners simply realized that while cool and fun, they just didn't find the tablet offered additional benefit over their smartphone. The bigger screen is nice, but for a few hundred dollars it didn't add enough value for them to keep the Tab. That is going to be a recurring theme with tablets as more of them hit the market. We're going to hear a lot of folks state that "it's fun, but it's just not worth that much money."
Others who returned the Tab did so out of contract remorse more than buyer's remorse. Most Tabs sold in the U.S. are subsidized through data carriers, requiring a data plan. That is a healthy commitment, and it weighs heavily on some Tab buyers who also fit in the first camp. It's cool, but it's not worth a 2-year data plan commitment. So the Tab is returned during the grace period and the remorse goes away.
Companies preparing to release tablets should be watching the Galaxy Tab return situation very carefully. Most tablets that will appear will attract the same type of buyers that are returning the Tab in great numbers.

The entelodonts are one of the more common fossil animals found in the Mongolian Hsanda Gol formation. However, better preserved specimens have been found in North America.
Although they are related to pigs, some of these huge beasts grew to the size of a rhino. Their jaws were massively powerful, and the bones of brontotheres and other animals show entelodont toothmarks. The most striking features of the entelodonts are the bony knobs all over their skulls. Some of these were simply for the attachment of very strong jaw muscles allowing a wide gape. Others seem to be larger in males, and their purpose was presumably the same as in modern pigs such as warthogs. The lumps were placed so as to protect the eyes and other delicate parts of the skull during fights.

Instagramming the Beauty and Mayhem of Burning Man
Every year on the last Monday of August, tens of thousands of people make the pilgrimage to the Nevada desert for Burning Man, a week-long celebration of art, music and general mayhem.
Burning Man began as a small gathering in 1986 but has since grown to a spectacle of over 50,000 attendees. Despite its massive size, attendance is actually tightly regulated, and participants are selected from a much larger pool through a complicated, multi-round lottery.
For those unable to get ahold of a ticket, many "Burners" have documented their experience through Instagram, allowing the outside world a peek into Burning Man's ephemeral Black Rock City.

Did you know that only "one generation ago, Christians in Cambodia were nearly all massacred in the killing fields of Kymer Rouge. But from the ashes, to gospel grew new roots and people have come to Christ in all of Cambodia's 19 provinces.
