In the age of eight-figure checks to super PACs, is it time for a constitutional amendment that could end this dangerous farce? The notion of fiddling with the First Amendment should make anyone nervous -- especially anyone who has spent a career benefiting from it. Then again, so does Sheldon Adelson's $10 million check to Mitt Romney's super PAC. A system that lets one individual pump so much money into supporting a favored candidate threatens to substitute oligarchy for democracy.
Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe has long opposed such tinkering. But writing recently for Slate.com, Tribe proposed an amendment, since introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., that would allow "content-neutral limitations" on independent expenditures. Tribe told me he changed his mind because "there's no serious prospect" that a majority of the Supreme Court "will see the light in our lifetimes." Meanwhile, he said, the "distortive effects of Citizens United and its aftermath are becoming clearer every week."
Long-standing problem
For all the lamenting over the 2010 ruling in Citizens United, the trouble began far earlier, in the 1976 case of Buckley v. Valeo. Citizens United and a later appeals court ruling simply made clear that the Adelsons of the world could band together -- hence, the super PAC -- to spend unlimited funds to elect favored candidates. Buckley erected a distinction between limits on campaign contributions (OK, to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption) and limits on campaign expenditures (invalid, because they restrict political speech without, the court said, furthering the anti-corruption interest).The contribution/expenditure distinction has been assailed by both sides. Yet there are valid reasons to limit contributions and to offer more leeway on the spending side. For example, the money that poured into Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, in limited donations, reflected his immense popular support. But the distinction collapses in theory, and becomes pernicious in practice, when it comes to independent expenditures. The court in Buckley and Citizens United proceeded from a naively rosy view of the corrupting potential of independent expenditures and an unduly narrow view of the governmental interest in limiting them.
Such spending, the court said in invalidating a $1,000 limit on independent expenditures in Buckley, "does not presently appear to pose dangers of real or apparent corruption comparable to those identified with large campaign contributions." Presently? What would the court have said about candidates benefiting from $10 million checks? The mere "appearance of influence or access," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in striking down the ban on corporate independent expenditures in Citizens United, "will not cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy. By definition, an independent expenditure is political speech presented to the electorate that is not coordinated with a candidate." Take a look at the incestuous staffing of any super PAC and consider whether you think it operates truly independently -- and whether it bolsters your faith in democracy.
This is infuriating, yet I can't bring myself to support a constitutional amendment. That quixotic enterprise would detract from more practical efforts to tighten rules — stricter limits on coordination between candidates and super PACs, for example — even under existing interpretations. And at bottom, the fault with the current arrangement lies not in the First Amendment but in the Supreme Court's interpretation thereof.
Twenty-five years ago a senator from Kentucky well-versed in campaign-finance issues proposed a constitutional amendment to allow limits on independent expenditures. "These are constitutional problems," the senator said, "demanding constitutional answers." That was Republican Mitch McConnell, arch foe of campaign-finance regulation — or, as he would put it, staunch defender of the First Amendment. Still not enough to make me support changing the Constitution. But it does make you think.

Scott Thompson purchased this house in 2003
Why Scott Thompson chose French Quarter
Living in Nashville TN we decided we Loved New Orleans so much that we could not stay away. Renting Hotels or an Apartment once a Month was not working. So we bought our first Guest House in year 2000 in the 2300 block of Royal Street. We then decided that we very much enjoyed the experience of owning a guest house. So when the opportunity to Purchase The Kerlerec House in early 2004 arose we did so, and never looked back. Not to say that Katrina did not give us a major tail spin. But we persevered and looked ahead. There are regular guests that have been staying at The Kerlerec Guest House since 1998 and come every year for Jazz Fest as well as for other events. These people are the reason that we love the ownership of our Guest House.

Nice location in the center, close to the metro station and bus stop to the airport. Stefansplatz is two blocks away, many other places of interst are also at a walking distance. Very good choice for a short stay for this price as Vienna is not a cheap city...
The firniture is a little bit old and outdated but everythign works. For a stay longer than three days I would not recommend this hotel as I would prefer to have a private bathroom.
Try the Prater tour..... Fabulous valid for money
Location was good (I was at meetings at the University) and value for money was good. Facilities were sufficient, which was what I wanted.
I found the bed rather hard, but that's just my preference.
Simple yet excellent breakfast.
Temperamental wifi. The shared shower was on a different floor. We'd asked for a double bed but had two single beds. Had to squeeze in on a single bed with my partner.
It was in a good location. The price was tempting, and it offered a breakfast.
The room we received was not what we had requested. They did however provide another room. But the bathtub lacked a curtain. No heating in the toilet.
The location was very near the centre. We had a 4 bed room, with ensuite shower, bath and wash basin
Toilet shared with one other room, was not a problem, but no wash basin in toilet meant having to go back to ensuite to wash hands
Good location. Walking distance to many attractions. Secure. Nice breakfast.
A little claustrophobic with three doors to swipe through. Felt a bit like we were in prison lockdown.
Location near Marientplatz Warmly family reception
The place was a in a nice location, within close walking distance to many different shops, restaurants, and attractions. The breakfast was very good. As we were "warned" about some Austrians, the staff at the desk could be a little "cold," but still helpful. The room was clean.
Although the room was clean, it desperately needed some replacement carpet and shower current/shower head. The carpet had stains and a couple tears/holes in it, but it is fine if you just wear your shoes. The shower... ugh. The shower curtain was very old and had that moldy smell to it. The real problem is that the shower space itself is incredibly tiny. I have a thin build and could BARELY avoid touching the shower curtain anytime I moved to wash myself. Every time it touches you, you have to rewash where it did because it's so gross. The shower head was also broken on the back, so it sprayed water erratically.
Good strong shower, quiet location
Stuffy, dorm-like atmosphere
Location. Just a few blocks from the city night Life.
Poor breakfest. Reception not 24h.
Very small but comfortable room, clean, good wifi, close to everything! Friendly staff, good breakfast.
Within walking distance from all places to visit except schobrunn palace. A lot of halal food around. Size of room about right for expensive vienna
No kettle in the room
Staff were friendly and helpful
Location is really good,5 min to dome by foot,2 min to shwedenplatz metro station. Staff was kindly.
You can hear people in next room when they laughed.
+ good location: it took us about 10 min. walk to get to St. Stephens Cathedral; the hotel is situated on a quiet street, so nothing outside bothers you while sleeping + good food (at least for continental breakfast, incl. cakes, vegetables, several kinds of cheese etc.) + nice & clean rooms
- bad quality of wi-fi (we had a room on the 2nd floor and sometimes I had to spend some time to find wi-fi connection)
great location! very convenient beds! the breakfast was very good.
the parking station of the pension was a little far away.
comfortable, clean
dificult to find, reception on the 8 stage,
Proximity to subway, lots eateries and shopping, close by, 100 mtrs boat to Bratislava. Beautiful walks along river. Common areas very clean and tidy.
Older facility, bathrooms and rooms need some updating and painting.
Not for from 2 lines of Metro station.I like that can go to stephantplatz by walking , not far from Danube river and Praterstein.Breakfast was good.
If 2 persons stay , should give 2 key cards. The room is a bit old.
Very clean, nice and helpful staff, Close to everything,
Nothing, we got value for money
Old but always clean, would like it if they offered metro passes as some b/bs are able to do but they did do some of the other bookings.
With the small elevator there were often long delays if you needed the elevator.
Very friendly staff
Located downtown close to the canal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Late check in is good.
In a double room where one person had to sit so the other could walk by. Half the room was taken up by a huge wardrobe that no one would use and then a teeny desk stuck in the corner with two chairs, but no room to sit beside the bed. Did not attempt to use the shower as it was to scary looking. Bed was not bad, but with only one small pillow, did not sleep the whole night. We got in late and left early. Breakfast room is presentable and the breakfast was only satisfactory. This type of room serves its purpose, but not for €94 when the neighboring hotels weren't much more. Too bad they were all booked at the time.

... that late at night, and Darragh lived just around the corner.... The next morning, when we awoke at noon (2 hours past our checkout time), we walked back to our hostel on the other side of Cork. It took us 15 minutes. We really only had time for a final boozy Irish breakfast at this delightful diner with gluten free bread (LOVE!) and be on our way to the bus station and off to Dublin. A HUGE thank you to Darragh for the best tour ever!! You made Cork for us!! We will definitely be back! ...

Stephanie Mason's review
Oct 12, 09
Read in October, 2009
Another book that made me think I need some more history lessons/reading. I love English/European history and this one touched on an area I was totally unfamiliar with. I learned a lot about late fifteenth century London and look forward to learning more now that I've finished this book. As a historical novel it was great. It did tend to read slow at times and I thought the author used choppy sentence structure that slowed the pace of the book. I also didn't care for some of the character development as it seemed somewhat shallow in areas that could have used much more depth. But overall a good book that was worth reading.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Mike Huckabee's New Kids History Video Tackles War On Christmas
Just to make sure that America's conservative, Christian kids know that there is a War on Christmas, Mike Huckabee has just released the newest video in his collection of "history" DVD's for kids. The series, which allows young folks to learn the real history of this country, features a group of cartoon kids who travel back in time. In visiting the 70's, they learn that knife wielding African-American thugs, wearing "Disco" shirts, overran the country before St. Ronald Reagan restored law & order. Other DVD's teach that America is a "Christian Nation" and that George Bush captured OBL. The latest is something that Christmas warrior Bill O'Reilly would approve of - real historians, not so much.Read more
Fox Buries News That Their Latest Benghazi 'Witness' Credibility Has Been Destroyed
Considering how much Fox loves the Benghazi "scandal," you'd think it would be big news that their latest "revelation," a supposed eyewitness featured in a 60 Minutes story late last month, has completely fallen apart. But while Fox can't stop demanding President Obama provide "accountability" for his broken promise about Americans being able to keep their health insurance, the "fair and balanced" network doesn't seem to feel the need to do the same over their own false information.Read more
Bill O'Reilly Whines That Chris Christie Won't 'Submit' To A Factor Interview
File under the cry me a river category Bill O'Reilly's latest bit of umbrage over Chris Christie's refusal to appear on The Factor. Poor Bill just can't understand why Christie won't kiss Bill's ass ring. As reported by Politico, O'Reilly said, on CBS, that Christie "won't submit to an interview with me." O'Reilly claimed that he's never seen Christie discuss policy, "under the spotlight," and cautioned Christie that "he's going to have to get under it, whether it's me or somebody else, but he has not come in." Awww, poor Bill. Here's a tip for you, Bill - Christie, a man who doesn't suffer fools gladly, doesn't want to appear on your show. Man up and deal with it!Read more
Megyn Kelly Can't Stand Discussion About How ObamaCare Is Providing Health Insurance For The Uninsured
Recently, Megyn Kelly dismissed as "old news" the fact that millions are now able to get health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare") in order to continue suggesting that President Obama should be impeached or forced out of office. Last night, Kelly sounded on the verge of hysteria as she demanded that guest Alan Colmes stop talking about the same thing – so that she could attack President Obama for having "committed a fraud to get this law passed." Funny how talk of people getting health insurance always seems to bring out suggestions of impeachment on The Kelly File.Read more
On Fox & Friends: Franklin Graham Trashes 'Sinful' Gays While Lying About ENDA
If anybody is curious as to why fewer Americans are identifying as Christians, one needs only to listen to Franklin Graham, the son of Christian evangelist, Billy Graham. That opportunity presented itself, this morning, on America's morning Christian show otherwise known as Fox & Friends. Fox & Friends guest, Franklin Graham spoke about his father's mission and how that mission - surprise, surprise - will be honored in the form of a Fox News special hosted by the oh, so Christian Sean Hannity who has written, on Fox News Insider, a tribute to Graham. The pals sat in rapt attention as Franklin spoke of America's rejection of God and how support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (passed in the Senate today, yay) is an example of this God dumping. It got uglier. Not only did Graham describe gays as sexual sinners; but in discussing ENDA, as Jon Stewart said, in part, about Fox News, Graham "lied like a motherf**ucker."Read more
Fox News Campaigns Against Raising The Minimum Wage
On Tuesday's Your World, Craig Smith, Chair of Swiss America, helped trash a ballot proposal in New Jersey raising the minimum wage a dollar an hour to $8.25 an hour, with cost of living adjustments yearly. Neil Cavuto made no secret of his opinion when he asked, "Do YOU have such guarantees where YOU work?"Read more
It's Official: Fox News' War On Christmas Season Has Begun
Although we've had a few sneak previews this year, Fox News Scrooges have finally finished unpacking their Christmas animosity from summer storage. They are ready to start the holiday season with a fresh round of attacks, divisiveness and, of course victimhood, as they go scouring the country for people who don't celebrate Christmas the way Fox thinks they should. This year, Santa's ambusher and Fox Nation editor, Jesse Watters, has provided a helpful map for Fox Hitler Youth elves to help track people he'd like to ridicule, smear, whatever. However, in a nice turnabout, a swarm of commenters have descended on the site to say this not exactly what Jesus would have wanted.Read more
Bill O'Reilly To Teens: Getting Naked 'Could Come Back To Bite You'
Despite Bill O'Reilly's belief that his "tips of the day" are sage pearls of wisdom that he so generously imparts to us mere mortal, they also serve to highlight how Bill can talk the talk but doesn't, or hasn't, walked the walk. That Bill doesn't practice what he preaches is reflected in his tip about ignoring "gutternsipes." The man who brought new meaning to the term "fuck it we'll do it live," gave us advice on venting anger. The man who specializes in personal attacks has advised us to be "magnanimous." And last week, he advised America's youth to keep their clothes on - a tip that showed us that, despite his persona as a devout Catholic traditionalist, O'Reilly is just a dirty, old man with a strange Miley Cyrus obsession. Bill's tip was also rich in irony considering that Bill O'Reilly is the man who brought new meaning to falafel and loofahs!Read more
Megyn Kelly Validates Parents Who Oppose History Text Because - Islam!
That the "fair & balanced" Fox News plays to those who think that all you need to know about the 6,000 year old earth is in the bible was underscored, Tuesday night, when the "moderate and reasonable" Megyn Kelly actually, with a straight face, reported that -wait for it - some Florida parents want to tear out the pages, in an advanced placement history textbook, which discuss Islam! And this isn't the first time that Fox News has featured an agenda driven discussion about this text which, if certain Florida residents had their way, would be burnt in the town square because, OMG, it actually devotes a chapter to Islam and doesn't provide Christianity with the same amount of space. And now that these Christian parents, who fear creeping Sharia, are brandishing their pitchforks, Fox has their back. Kelly's "news" segment was amusing, however, as it showed that in cultivating ignorance, Fox News has some very fertile fields!Read more
Fox News Wants You To Think A Commie Has Taken Over New York City
On yesterday's Your World, Fox News' Charles Gasparino fear mongered, with a little help from host Neil Cavuto, about what a Bill de Blasio mayoralty could look like. De Blasio was elected New York mayor the day before in a huge landslide. But Gasparino called him "Comrade" de Blasio and suggested it was just a matter of time before we'll see "the epicenter of capitalism being held hostage by a potential socialist."Read more

I have an image on my wpf page which opens an image file form hard disk. The XAML for defining the image is:
<Image Canvas.Left="65" Canvas.Top="5" Width="510" Height="255" Source="{Binding Path=ImageFileName}" />
I am using Caliburn Micro and ImageFileName is updated with the name of file that image control should show.
When the image is opend by image control, I need to change the file. But the file is locked by image control and I can not delete or copy any mage over it. How can I force Image to close the file after it opened it or when I need to copy another file over it?
I checked and there is no CashOptio for image so I can not use it.

In Apple's developer guide, they state: "A split view controller must always be the root of any interface you create" (see here). I was curious if anyone knew why they decided that. I have a tab navigator-based application and it makes sense for the content in one of the tabs to be presented in a split view. Why would Apple be opposed to that kind of design? Thanks in advance for your answers.
PS I'm not looking for ways to put a split view controller in a tab navigator controller (that much I can figure out, even if the code does look sloppy). I'm more curious if anyone has any idea why Apple frowns on it.

Demi Moore might want to think about shortening the leash she has on her young hottie, Ashton Kutcher. This week he showed up at Cielo, the trendy downtown nightclub, with a group of actors from "That 70s Show," but that's not Demi's problem. What her problem could be is the young pretty blonde that was all over Ashton. They made quite a display of themselves in a dark corner. Demi was nowhere in sight. Naturally, Ashton was instantly recognized no matter how far he kept pulling down his poorboy cap. When you think it over, if you're going to fool around, don't do it in a room filled with fashionistas and models, like, for instance, Karolina Kurkova and others of that persuasion.
Elton John and his partner, filmmaker David Furnish, celebrated the 10th anniversary of their friendship Thursday in London by spending a quiet private evening together. It was another story entirely last Sunday when Elton gave a riotous lunch at Harry's Bar to celebrate David's 41st birthday. Harry's closed up shop in honor of the occasion and Elton invited 60 of David's friends to dip into mushroom risotto and sea bass as he led the throng in singing "Happy Birthday" while a towering vanilla cake was carried in. Among those raising their voices in song were Cornelia Guest, who flew in especially for the occasion wearing a beautifully cut Dior blazer and bringing shirts for the guest of honor; Hugh Grant; Lily Safra; Stephen Daldry, who directed "The Hours"; Dior's Hedi Slimane; and Elle MacPherson and Arki Busson, very much together in spite of a recent teeny-weeny blip in their relationship. Beautiful Daphne Guinness was there too, along with Isabella Blow, Sally Green, who runs the Old Vic, Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, Susannah Constantine, who hosts the British TV show "What Not to Wear" and bespoke tailor Richard James, who makes suits for Elton, Hugh and David and others of that ilk and stripe.

TUESDAY, July 5 (HealthDay News) -- Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates have increased in the United States in recent years and CRC incidence and mortality have fallen, though many people are still not receiving the recommended screening, according to a report published in the July 5 early-release issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The CDC evaluated CRC screening data from 2002-2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys and calculated state-specific CRC incidence and mortality annual percentage changes between 2003 and 2007 using the U.S. Cancer Statistics.
The data revealed that the percentage of individuals aged 50 to 75 years who were adequately screened for CRC increased from 52.3 percent in 2002 to 65.4 percent in 2010. CRC incidence ranged from 34.3 per 100,000 population in Utah to 56.9 in North Dakota during 2007. In terms of mortality rates in 2007, death rates ranged from 12.3 per 100,000 in Utah to 21.1 in the District of Columbia. CRC incidence declined significantly in 35 states and mortality declined in 49 states and the District of Columbia between 2003 and 2007.
"Recent significant improvements in CRC screening in the United States have contributed to reductions in incidence and death rates, but Healthy People 2020 targets have not yet been reached. Adherence to recommended CRC screening recommendations will prevent more CRC cases and deaths," the authors write.

DEFINITION of 'Equity Compensation'
This is one way to attract and retain employees to a startup company. Since most companies lack the initial funds to get high quality employees, they use equity compensation to fulfill this need. Equity compensation is a non-cash compensation that represents a form of ownership interest in a company. Due to the complexity of implementing an equity compensation program, companies must plan and use proper legal, accounting, and tax advice and planning.
Companies that offer equity compensations give employees stock options with the right to purchase shares of the companies' stocks at a predetermined price, also referred to as exercise price. This right "vests" with time, so employees gain control of this option after working for the company for a certain period of time. When the option vests, they gain the right to sell or transfer the option. This method encourages employees to stick with the company for a long term.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Equity Compensation'
Employees who have this option are not considered stockholders and therefore do not share the same rights as shareholders. There are different tax consequences to options that are vested versus those that are not, so it is necessary for employees to look into what tax rules apply to their specific situation. There are different types of equity compensations; these include non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options (ISO). ISOs are only available to employees and not non-employee directors or consultants. These options provide special tax advantages. With non-qualified stock options, employers do not have to report when they receive this option or when it becomes exercisable.

Serbian slant[edit]
Series of articles on "Serbian revolution", or national awakening during 19th and first two decades of 20th century, lacking perspectives and insights in such complex subject which is other then Serbian. This particular article could hardly fit in some guide book for museum of national history or national military museum, let alone for internet encyclopedia in English language.
I understand that people feel a need to proudly announce to the world their heroic national narratives and foundation myths, in celebratory manner and language, but lets make distinction between Wikipedia and national history textbooks for elementary and secondary schools, and/or history in accordance to national education plan and program, not to mention to nationalistic ideologies and narratives.
Here we can notice how there is no mention of consequences of such huge and tragical historical events on indigenous non-Serbian and/or non-Orthodox population, their property, ethnic and religious heritage and culture, entire towns or city quarters where they consisted majority of population, as if they are of no consequence to readers !? We can read about Ottoman revenge and brutality before or after some military operation attempted by Serbs, but absolutely nothing on retaliation of Serbian forces on non-Orthodox-Serbs, let alone about premeditated atrocities and brutality undertaken by Serbs ! We can find out about how Ottomans hampered religious freedoms, but not a word about complete obliteration of all signs of Muslim presence in the aftermaths of these events, and so on.
OK, I can understand if consequences regarding non-Serb population aren't important at all to Serbian reader, but hey, for these readers there exists sr.wikipedia, where anyone can write what ever Serbian wikipedians agree is reality. On English Wikipedia we should try to write in accordance to rules, and when something doesn't looks exactly right we should try to improve it. This article need a lots of additional input and improvement !— Preceding unsigned comment added by Santasa99 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 24 April 2014

Agencies kicked off Rattlesnake Mountain; Hanford cleanup funds needed

Tri-City Herald
PORTLAND — Tribal concerns and the need to spend Hanford cleanup dollars on the Rattlesnake Mountain road led to a decision to end private use of the mountain, according to the Department of Energy.
"It is a sacred site," said Gabriel Bohnee, who represents the Nez Percé tribe on the Hanford Advisory Board.
The board discussed DOE's decision to clear the mountain of structures, including communications equipment and a nonprofit observatory, last week in Portland.
The issue came up when board member Pam Larsen, who represents Richland, read a list of concerns from residents after eviction notices were sent to 12 agencies using the mountain.
The tribes that historically used the mountain — which is in the security perimeter of the Hanford nuclear reservation — want it protected, along with Gable Butte and Gable Mountain in the production portion of the reservation, said Doug Shoop, deputy manager of DOE's Hanford Richland Operations Office.
The Nez Percé, Yakama and Umatilla tribes and the Wanapum band share a common history with Rattlesnake Mountain that goes back more than 9,000 years, said Armand Minthorn, who represents the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation on the board.
Because the mountain was included in Hanford's security perimeter, most of it remains in nearly pristine condition.
The mountain is closed to the public, but it's the home of a telescope in an observatory built by Battelle Memorial Institute in 1971 for astronomical research.
Battelle donated the observatory to the nonprofit Alliance for the Advancement of Science Through Astronomy (AASTA) in 2005.
AASTA and agencies that have communications leases on the mountaintop must reach it via a locked gate and a steep and winding one-lane road.
The road has been a problem for DOE, Shoop said. The only money it has to maintain the road comes from funds intended for the cleanup of contamination at Hanford.
The public was "blindsided" by the decisions that tenants must leave the mountain and remove man-made structures as their leases end, according to the comments Larsen compiled.
DOE has stressed that it plans to work with AASTA and other agencies to allow enough time to find places to move their structures and minimize costs.

Iowa farm family tours half the year as singing ministry
By MELISSA HART
Michigan Correspondent
HILLSDALE, Mich. — The kids filed onstage, one by one in their coordinating royal blue-and-black outfits. When 10 of them and their two parents settled on stage, they introduced themselves as the Bontrager Family Singers, during a concert on Oct. 7 at the Hillsdale United Brethren Church.
No one would have known they had just come from the cornfields of Kalona, Iowa. No one would have known they would head back home to feed pigs, milk cows and harvest soybeans. No one knew they made their living from their farm while traveling around the country encouraging families with the Truth of God's word.
But when they finished their concert, everyone knew each member of the family, their strengths, likes, dislikes and their strong conviction for family unity.
Marlon and Becky Bontrager and their 10 children – Chelsy, Mitchell, Allison, Carson, Joshua, Denver, Lincoln, Elizabeth, Hudson and Rebecca – live and work on a dairy, hog and grain farm. Their purpose in singing ministry is summed up in the Bible passage Deuteronomy 6:6-9, where it says: "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children.
"Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
"Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
Marlon said as God opens doors, they minister with a gospel/bluegrass style of music in churches, festivals, prisons, nursing homes and street missions. They feel as though God has called them to ministry, so they endeavor to shine His light wherever they go, in whatever they do, with all their heart and soul and mind. Because of Him, they have a reason to sing.
With nearly every child on an instrument or microphone, they entertained the full house in Hillsdale with their bluegrass, toe-tapping gospel music. Between songs, they gave testimonials of their travels, told stories of God's faithfulness on the road and encouraged the crowd to keep the family together.
Marlon gave statistics on fatherless families in the United States and how he feels it has adversely affected the family unit. He admonished listeners to participate in the political process, and the importance of serving the community.
After the concert the Bontragers enjoyed a time of fellowship with visitors. When asked how she keeps 10 kids looking so good, Becky remarked with a chuckle, "It's not easy, but you see we've chosen black as our predominant color!
"Because it's so costly to clothe 10 children in matching outfits, we only have two different outfits that we perform in."
While Marlon keeps the farm running and the music ministry humming, Becky keeps the home running smoothly. They have homeschooled all of their children but, as Becky said, "It's getting easier now. The older children are very helpful in teaching the younger ones or just taking over the household and farm duties."
The oldest son, Mitchell, said, "When we were young, our parents spent a lot of money on music lessons but now that we are older, we are the music teachers for the younger kids."
The Hillsdale stop was their final appearance for the year and, as they concluded the concert, they remarked they were going home just in time to head to the fields for harvest. Mitchell added, "I'm looking forward to going home and just sitting on a tractor all day long."
The Bontrager Family Singers tour the country from April through October and can be contacted for tour information by visiting their website at www.bontrager familysingers.com or by phone at 319-330-4513. You may also email them at firstname.lastname@example.com

first experience cooking skirt steak
- charles_sills Aug 8, 2012 04:10 PM
i have always heard wonderful things about skirt steak, but can never find it in my grocery stores. but today, i found some at a local supermarket. i bought two. tonight, i did fajitas. (real original, i know.) i have to say, the steak was luscious. unbleleivable succulent. i marinated the meat, but as flavorful as this cut seems to be, i dont know if i will marinade the second one.
any tips for what to do with the other one? im thinking something along the lines of a steak sandwich. quick sear and sliced thin of course. arugala. ill roast some red peppers, then puree them with some horseradish and mayo. maybe just a kiss of asiago cheese on toasted ciabatta. any better ideas?
maybe even a hearty pasta meal that includes cream, steak, and brussel sprouts? thats probably better for fall.
re: charles_sills
My chimichurri is:
1 bunch flat leaf parsley (I de-stem every leaf with love and music and wine)
6 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup wine vinegar
3 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
I whack it all in my handy little chopper.
re: charles_sills
No problem. I get reported all the time. Water off a duck's back.
I love skirt and eat it more than any other cut of meat. Fajitas are a great way to go, but there is no need to marinate. Salt and pepper, then grill, high heat, just a couple minutes each side. The other thing I really like to use skirt for is a Chinese stir fry. Slice the long "belt" into 3-4 inch pieces, then turn 90 degrees and cut across the grain into thin strips (this is how you should always cut skirt, cooked or raw). Use in your stir-fry recipe of choice, a sichuan beef recipe is particularly good.
Finally, your choice of chimichurri is good. Don't marinate, just season with salt and pepper and grill over a hot fire. Make the chimichurri in advance and let it sit for a bit. That over the skirt steak is pure heaven.
re: MelMM
Real simple prep that I have used for years...some evoo, salt, and dash of black pepper and then take a clove of garlic, cut it in half and rub the meat with it.....let it then sit no more than a half hour, ( so not as to draw out two much moisture)...in the 1/2 hour of waiting...take some large spanish onions, slice them, throw them into a large skillet with some butter and some evoo....let them carmelize, nice and sweet....take your skirt steaks cut into about 8 ounce pieces and grill them, in either a grill pan or the barbe....nice and med rare, about 3 minutes a side on a hot fire...top with some onions, pour your self a nice glass of red, a baked potato, some sauteed green beans and have yourself a real party!!!!
re: MelMM
I grilled my first skirt steak ever inspired by this thread and thanks very much to MelMM for the detailed slicing instructions, which I definitely needed (and passed on to another women waiting at the meat counter who asked me how I was going to cook the skirt steak). I mean, I grilled the whole thing and then sliced the rested steak according to MelMM's instructions.
re: GretchenS
Just saw this, but I have to say I am so happy to have helped you out. I think the slicing is very important and a lot of books and recipes either leave it out or get it wrong. Also, a lot of photos of dishes that are supposed to be skirt steak are really showing flank, and that doesn't help matters any. I'm thrilled that you've got it figured out now and can enjoy this amazingly flavorful cut from now on.
Skirt steak also works great in many Chinese stir-fry dishes. I've used it successfully in Grace Young's ginger beef (recipe & video are posted somewhere on this site) and other stir fry dishes. Used it to make the Cook's Illustrated version of carne asada steak tacos and it worked beautifully there too. Works great in any recipes that call for flank steak. I think it can also work nicely in a salad and I was going to try using it for philly cheese steak...I'll let you know how that goes.
Oh and one bit of advice for those new to skirt steak. My mistake when first cooking skirt steak was not slicing it correctly. Needs to be sliced against the grain and real thin or will be chewy. Otherwise this is a very flavorful cut of meat, my 2nd fav after ribeye and a lot more economical too.
You have the best thing going- lime and salt when you grill it and slice it thin against the grain you have some fabulous steak there.
I made this the other night, although it does involve a marinade. http://www.chow.com/recipes/29784-gri...
I like the chimichurri idea. Also, I've found that most recipes that call for flank steak can be done with skirt.

Skirt steak is thin and absorbs a lot of marinade. I do either a marinade, or chimichurri, but not both.
I marinate skirt steak in a combination of olive oil, garlic, lime juice, fresh cilantro, Montreal steak seasoning, cumin, and paprika. Sometimes I add a shot of tequila too. Soooo good! I grill it and serve with corn on the cob and a green salad.
We had in Cape May NJ something called Black Diamond Steak. It was indeed black on the outside but med rare on the inside and totally delicious. It took me many months to duplicate it!!
The secret was to use Gravy Master as the base of the marinade.( Not Kitchen Bouquet, way too salty, nearly ruined dinner with it.) I add onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt pepper & a little cayenne and marinate in plastic bag for 5 or 6 hours, then grill hot on a grill just like other steaks. I am so glad I finally got this right, it is always a big hit!!
I love skirt steak nearly any way you make it. I like a simple marinade of lime juice, garlic, and salt (arracheras or basic fajitas) or just a sprinkle of salt and garlic powder before grilling.
What hasn't been mentioned yet is Cuban cooking. Skirt steak is excellent in both ropa vieja and vaca frita. Neither is a very quick preparation but both are delicious.
re: rockycat
Yep. I eat a ton of sliced steak (skirt, flatiron, hanger, etc.) and my preference is simple seasoning: salt, pepper and garlic powder, seared over a 500F grill. Crusty outside, rare inside, perfectly seasoned and sliced razor-thin. Either on its own or in a salad, I often find sliced steaks tastier (and certainly cheaper) than ordinary steaks.
Has anyone had the experience of inconsistent tenderness? Most times skirt steak is like butter, occasionally other times, it's like pink pearl eraser. What's up with that?
And regarding the sometimes large veins of fat (realizing fat is flavor), is there a way to cook/melt part of that away and still have the inside rare to med-rare?
re: msmarm
insanely high heat is the only way to do that, or trim part of the fat!
re: msmarm
The outer skirt is better marbled and more tender. The inner skirt is tougher, less marbled, and has a darker liver-like color. I always look carefully for the outer skirts. I cook them very quickly over hot charcoal, either with a brief marinade, or later with chimichurri.
I would do an asian inspired version, i would probably use soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic as a marinade. do a quick sear, reduce the marinade into a glaze and add a touch of honey to combat the saltiness and a little red pepper flakes for a kick. do a quick sear, slice accross the grain and coat with glaze and sesame seeds! serve with steamed brown rice, seasoned with lemon rind and some gingered peas!
re: chefonism
rosemary salt pepper crushed in a mortar and rubbed all over the skirt (the hangar is better), flash fried and rested. sliced thinly across the grain into a baguette slthered with dijon mustard and caramelised onions. a simple green salad, a glass of punchy red and nothing more
