Sweet: Emanuel steps down as Obama co-chair to raise campaign money

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday he quit his role as an Obama campaign co-chair to fund-raise for the Obama-sanctioned SuperPac — adding a heavyweight as Democrats are alarmed at how much they are being outraised by Republicans backing Mitt Romney.
Emanuel resigned from the campaign about two weeks ago but kept it secret, which allowed him to deliver his convention speech Tuesday night cast as a former Obama chief of staff — and incorrectly, it turns out, as a campaign co-chair. It was deception by omission.
Emanuel told me that with the election two months away, he is jumping into mega fund-raising "to help the best I can to level the playing field … in order to narrow this huge financial disparity."
In order to help House candidates — Emanuel is a former chief of the House Democratic political operation — Emanuel is also taking on fund-raising chores for another SuperPac, the House Majority PAC, hosting an event Monday in Chicago.
Federal laws allow people connected with a campaign to appear before SuperPac potential donors, but they cannot make an official direct ask on behalf of a candidate — a hair-splitting legal distinction.
Emanuel quit the Obama campaign — he was one of about 20 co-chairs — in order to not raise questions about whether he was skirting a law — and, I am told, he was aware the optics of fund-raising for a SuperPac while holding a campaign title would be terrible.
Emanuel — who fund-raises in secret and declines to make public details unless it suits his agenda — met with potential donors to Priorities USA Action here on Wednesday.
Priorities, the main Obama SuperPac, was founded by two Emanuel proteges: Sean Sweeney, who was Emanuel's chief of staff when Emanuel was in the Obama White House, and Bill Burton, a former White House spokesman who worked for Emanuel when he ran the Democratic House political operation, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Paul Begala, one of Emanuel's closest friends and a political confidante, is a consultant to Priorities.
There have been several stories in national outlets about how the megadonors — rich people capable of writing million-dollar checks but have egos and like to deal with equals — have been wanting someone of stature to make the ask, not staffers.
Burton told me in an email, "Mayor Emanuel has agreed to help Priorities by making phone calls to potential supporters and attending events on our behalf. We couldn't be happier to have his support.
"He has already begun making calls and attended an event today."
No one connected to Emanuel publically revealed his switch; it was first disclosed Wednesday morning by Washington Post reporters Tom Hambuger and Peter Wallsten.
An Obama campaign source who did not want a name used said Emanuel "made clear he wanted to do whatever he could to help re-elect the president and thought this was the way he would maximize his impact."
Emanuel is known for asking for a specific amount — he gets the number in his head he thinks a potential donor can afford and keeps pressure on until he gets a check.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), an Obama campaign co-chair in Charlotte, told me Emanuel's appeal to major donors is "people understand his close relationship with the president, which is very important." They also understand that his political analysis "is worth listening to," Durbin said.
Last January, Burton pitched John Rogers, the chairman, CEO, and chief investment officer of Chicago's Ariel Investments, resulting in a $50,000 check for Priorities.
Rogers, in Charlotte, told me he welcomed Emanuel's entry because "he knows how to ask. So it is a real coup we got him involved and engaged in this historic presidential race."
Said Rogers, "When he calls you, he has a specific goal in mind, and he is not shy about telling you exactly what he expects."

See rare footage of a flying aircraft carrier in this surprising look at the military history of lighter-than-air craft, from simple weather balloons to mighty zeppelins.
It is hard to imagine, but there was a time when airships blimps, dirigibles and zeppelins were the most dominant military aircraft of all. In this age of high-tech, high-speed planes and powerful, agile helicopters, the military airship has gone the way of the dodo, but it took many years before the world's governments abandoned the idea of turning these massive craft to military applications.AIRSHIPS tells their riveting story. From bombing runs to the high-flying spy balloons that soared out of the reach of enemy planes and guns, see how airships affected World War I. Trace the remarkable advances that made them among the most sophisticated aircraft in the world during the years between the wars. See rare footage of the USS LOS ANGELES, which the United States hoped to use as an airborne aircraft carrier, and see how Germany deployed its storied zeppelins as part of the Nazi war machine. From the birth of aviation to the death of a dream, this is the compelling story of airships at war.

Cardinals have rich history
Think about some of the many great stars who have graced the rosters of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Stan Musial. Bob Gibson. Rogers Hornsby. Dizzy Dean. The Cooper brothers, Mort and Walker. Red Schoendienst. Marty Marion. Johnny Mize. Ozzie Smith. Lou Brock. Joe Medwick. Johnny Hopp. Enos Slaughter. Whitey Kurowski. Terry Moore. And now possibly the most gifted of all the Cardinals, Albert Pujols.
It is probable that Pujols soon will sign a long contract that will be for more money than the total salaries of all of the great players listed above. More than any other player in the history of baseball, even the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez.
All of the great Cardinals and all other big money players in the Major Leagues owe their largess to former Cardinal, outfielder Curt Flood, who sued Major League Baseball to make all players free agents and many of them with more money than they ever dreamed of having. Before Flood's victory, players were treated like chattel.
Now Pujols, baseball's finest player, with a huge contract either from the Cardinals or some other team, will rake in more money than all of the Cardinals listed above.
$$$$ for jocks
Unless I am reading the latest NCAA legislation wrong, it seems that all of the top college football and basketball players are in for a jolt. They will start getting $2,000 a year over and above what they are getting now. But that isn't fair because for many of them that will be a pay cut. The going rate for top quarterbacks in the SEC is in the hundreds of thousands.
Seriously, that won't fly. For every male who gets extra money, a female athlete will have to get the same. Title IX still is in effect, isn't it?
This NCAA action brought back a lot of bad memories for me. I went to what is now Eastern Kentucky University my freshman year before taking out a year to teach in two one-room schools to save enough money to transfer to UK.
To eat in Eastern's cafeteria, students had to line up on the stairs leading to the second floor where the food was served. Many a day I would keep counting my change to make sure I could afford about 45 cents for lunch. While we were waiting our turn, Eastern athletes would zip up the stairs and into a room where tables were stacked with food for the jocks.

BMW recalling 2013 M5, M6 models over potential catastrophic engine failures
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Oct 5th, 2012 at 1:45PM
Catastrophic engine failure... not exactly what you want to hear no matter what you're driving, but especially so when you've just purchased a brand-new 2013 BMW M5 or M6. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "a manufacturing process error" could cause the oil pump's driveshaft to separate from its rotor, leading "to a sudden loss of oil pressure causing the possibility of complete engine failure, resulting in an engine stall-like condition, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash." As is always the case with such recalls, BMW will be contacting owners and... Read More

"Steamboat Willie" meets "15 Step." I'm into it.
When I was a teenager, I had a little bit of a "everything Radiohead" phase. I didn't take it as far as my friend David — a dude who regularly eBay'd Japanese import singles and once made a computer program to ensure we got tickets to Radiohead's pre-In Rainbows small theater tour — but I certainly tracked down as much domestic releases and merchandise as I could. Luckily for me, Etsy wasn't around back then to offer me well-crafted, unofficial alternatives. I'm a pretty big fan of the Etsy community — Meaghan Garvey's store is definitely one of my favorites — and part of that certainly has to do with the prevalence of weird, disjointed arts-and-craftery that nobody could have possibly asked for. So today, we present the 10 weirdest Radiohead-related items I could find on the site.

The snow is over--14 inches here in Eastern Suffolk. The cold is here to stay for awhile. 9.0 degrees here. My son in Buffalo has 1.0 degree. My son in Rochester has -2.0. My daughter is vacationing in Fl. Her timing was great. How're things in NYC? The newscasts say that the snow removal was improved over the last storm, except for the upper east side. I used to be a cold weather lover. No more. Of course, when August arrives, I'll be whining again. Stay warm & safe, everybody.
Looks like NY is back to the winters of old. My sympathy goes out to all the people who have to travel in the snow and cold. I did it for years, tain't much fun.I remember my mom saying many times during the winters of the 50's and 60's... Not much different than living in Canada except it's damper eh.

Apparently our new meatball mayor is not a student of NYC history. Plus, he's playing partisan politics. The Upper East side was miserable yesterday with traffic back ups. And Brooklyn, specifically Park Slope, was clean. In fact, the Upper East side was plowed once at about 5PM and not again until overnight. Since the Upper east side didn't vote for him, we don't get plowed. Dinkins did the same thing with North East Queens and was a one term mayor. If this arrogant ass doesn't change his tune, he'll be out in 1 term, too. Oh, and his wife (?) has appointed a chief of staff. Arrogance, no?
is he pulling a Christie?
Apparently, some wants Bloomberg back.
The Sanitation Commissioner certainly has enough years with the Dept. to have done a better job. Seems like they went the cheapest route.
As a matter of fact, I do. This Deblasio is Lindsay II. And the city will suffer for it.And Sal, the commissioner is the fall guy. The idiot mayor didn't declare an emergency soon enough. It's up to the mayor to call the shots. This jerk was shoveling snow in Brooklyn,He'll be a one term mayor, for sure.

10 Ways Proposition 32 Would Hurt California and Catapult the Conservative Agenda in the State
California's Proposition 32 proposes outlawing the use of automatic payroll deductions from union members and corporations for political purposes. Backed by such labor-hating billionaires as the Koch Brothers, Charles Munger Jr., and by anti-marriage equality crusaders like Howard Ahmanson and Larry T. Smith, the measure will decimate unions' ability to participate in the political process—stripping them of their considerable clout in the state. But that doesn't mean Prop. 32 is purely about union-busting. Instead, the measure provides its wealthy backers with a means to an end — to eliminate organized labor as the most significant obstacle to imposing a corporate and fundamentalist religious agenda on an otherwise stalwart progressive state.
Prop. 32 isn't an end game. It's the beginning of a much larger conservative agenda for California. The only way to truly understand the potential impact of Prop. 32's passage is to analyze the agenda of its backers.
Here are the 10 most dire issues California can look forward to if Prop. 32 is to pass this week.
1. Toxic Sludge – The Koch Brothers' $4 million donation to support Prop. 32 is often portrayed as purely ideological. But the Kochs are not disinterested players in the state of California. They own the pulp paper processing company Georgia-Pacific, which has 11 facilities in California and has spent much of the past few years lobbying to gut provisions of California's Green Chemistry Initiative–a 2008 law protecting California citizens from exposure to toxic industrial chemicals.
2. Global Warming, Here We Come – Prop. 32 backers despise California's landmark climate change prevention statute, AB 32. The Koch brothers' most conspicuous foray into California politics — prior to their Prop. 32 support – came in 2010, when the Koch Industries subsidiary, Flint Hills Resources, donated $1 million to support Proposition 23. Had voters ratified it, Prop. 23 would have overturned AB 32. Flint Hills didn't chip in out of climate-change denial. The company has a substantial investment in Canadian tar sands oil, whose extraction and consumption creates a Sasquatch-sized carbon footprint. Robust clean emissions standards, Koch Industries complained on its website, "would cripple refiners that rely on heavy crude feedstocks."
3. Offshore Drilling – With lessons of the BP spill two years in hindsight, the idea of offshore drilling in California has resurfaced. Koch Industries recently donated $5,000 to the Congressional campaign of Santa Barbara Republican Tony Strickland—who, in various campaigns over the years, has routinely advocated opening up waters off the coast of California to drilling.
Though they don't yet appear to have their feet in the door financially, there's no reason to doubt that, with their army of lobbyists at the ready and history of campaign contributions in the state, the Kochs wouldn't maneuver to profit off of California's offshore oil.
4. Bye-Bye Minimum Wage – Not only have Prop. 32 backers been deeply involved in efforts to obliterate living wage efforts in California, they even want to roll back the state's modest minimum wage requirements. In 2006, Prop. 32 author Thomas Hiltachk and his law firm authored and pushed for the Fair Pay Workplace Flexibility Act. This progressive-sounding bit of legislation would have increased California's minimum wage by a pittance – while eliminating overtime pay for many workers and freezing all future minimum wage raises without the consent of two-thirds of both houses of the California legislature.
5. School Vouchers – If there's a unifying issue animating Prop. 32's backers, it's that nearly all want to shift public school money to private educational entities. By far the most radical is third-generation venture capitalist and "viral marketing" guru Timothy C. Draper–who thus far has given $100,000 to push Prop. 32. In 2000 Draper was the brains and the piggy bank behind Proposition 38–arguably the most extreme school voucher effort in recent American history.

Douglas Trattner
Moon Handbooks
Size: 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches

Published: June 2009
About the Book
Award-winning journalist and Cleveland native Douglas Trattner uncovers every nook and cranny of his favorite city, sharing his love of this often overlooked mecca, from the 20,000 acres of Cleveland's Metroparks, to the famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Douglas provides unique trip strategies including the Three-Day Best of Cleveland, Foodie Fun in Ohio City, and Take the Kids: Baseball, Hot Dogs and Foul Tips.
Moon Cleveland
is packed with insider's information on dining, transportation and accommodations. Complete with details on hot-air ballooning over Amish Country, angling for Walleye on Lake Erie, and zipping through town on a segway, ,
Moon Cleveland
gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.
About Douglas Trattner
As with every great relationship, it takes time apart to truly appreciate what one's got. Born and raised in a suburb of Cleveland, Douglas Trattner never had a choice about where he would spend his youth. Years away–in college, law school, and a "starter career"–not only opened his eyes to the good life back home, they made him downright homesick. After 15 years outside its borders, Douglas returned to live in the city of his youth, this time by choice.
Buying a house just seven miles from Public Square has allowed Douglas to appreciate the city in ways his family never could as far-flung suburbanites. Near-daily excursions downtown–to concerts, sporting events, museums, bars, and restaurants–convinced him that
Cleveland Rocks
was way more than a civic slogan.
When he began writing–for the Cleveland
Plain Dealer
, the Cleveland
Free Times
, and
Cleveland Magazine
—he began to explore every single nook and cranny of this great town. As a weekly contributor to Cleveland's major daily's weekend guide,
, Douglas covered bars, comedy clubs, cultural events, outdoor activities, seasonal attractions and neighborhood festivals. Thanks to that glorious gig, he's gone hot-air ballooning over Amish Country, cross-country skiing through the Metroparks, angling for walleye on Lake Erie, and zipping through town on a Segway. If there is a bar, club or event in town that he hasn't covered, it probably isn't worth knowing about.
As food editor and restaurant critic for the
Free Times
, Cleveland's largest alternative weekly, Douglas has followed the local dining scene with a fine-tooth comb. In six-plus years as weekly columnist, he's reviewed over 250 restaurants and witnessed firsthand the culinary renaissance that has taken place. His familiarity with the topic has earned him a weekly guest spot on a local drive-time radio show. If folks want to know where to find the best corned beef sandwich, Douglas can point them in the right direction. When diners seek a five-star chef's tasting menu, he'll gladly show them the way. Cheapest beer in town? Yup. Last year, Douglas's work at the
Free Times
earned him the award of "Best Critic in Ohio" by the Society of Professional Journalists.
Douglas has written specifically about Cleveland for
Wine & Spirits
Fine Living
, and
Time Out
. The Cleveland Convention and Visitors Bureau, now called Positively Cleveland, entrusts him to write for their various visitor guides.

About Percolators
For daily use or just a few cups of coffee, auto drip coffee makers generally do the trick. But, when entertaining a larger group of people percolators brew coffee in larger capacities. There are also camps who feel coffee percolators produce a better tasting cup of coffee. If you're in the market for a percolator coffee pot for whatever reason, Ace carries a variety of top-rated sleek and functional models.
There are two main types of percolators to choose from – electric coffee percolator and stovetop percolator units. Electric percolators prepare coffee automatically and maintain a hot beverage temperature for as long as you have them plugged in. Stovetop percolators boil and brew coffee using the heat from the cooking range and need to be served right away at the optimum temperature.
You'll find all the coffee accessories you need and both types of percolators at Ace. For more information, visit our coffee makers guide.

tomasvalas Very good value. The staff was very helpful, the hostel was impeccably clean, and there was a full kitchen. Definitely one of the best hostels I've been to.

BigCityFan This is a fairly centrally located hotel. You can walk to the main square, places of interest, and good restaurants in a few minutes. Comfortable and relaxed. Staff are very pleasant to deal with. Breakfast staff in particular were very sweet. A good find for a stay in a lovely city.

jtlande I really loved my stay at Casa de Avila. The hotel is really beautiful, and the folks there (especially Rachel at the front desk) are incredibly friendly. My room was perfect - though you should see what's available; I most enjoyed my room on the bottom floor with a window and a queen sized bed, but there are other rooms that I think aren't as nice. I was worried about the location, but found that it's actually quite convenient. It's a short walk to the Plaza de Armas and the rest of town, and it turns out that it's on a very safe-feeling street. Don't forget to wander up to the top of the roof to watch the sunset (with a bottle of wine in hand)...it's quite a nice view from there. I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Arequipa! It can be very popular at times, so if you do want to stay here I suggest making reservations before you get there.

paulinelon This hostal is clean, and real close to the main scuare. A few days ago i went to do a hiking track, and the owner even lent me her backpack becouse i forgot mine! They are so friendly, helping ou with everything, and any question you might have. There is a nice vibe going on in this hostal, here come frendly people, and i´m verry happy to say its not one of those party hostals. I would recommend this hostal to everyone!

joriedi2 La Posada del Kuraka is a great deal. Period. The rooms are small and basic, the water was mostly luke warm, but the location is good (it really isn't a long walk at all to the main plaza, just five minutes or so). What we liked most about our stay was Jose, the owner. Jose was very friendly and helpful (though his English is limited, but our Spanish was limited as well and we made it work!), always available, and he let us keep our bags locked up and use the facilities even after we'd checked out and while waiting to take a 9 pm night bus back to Cuzco. The terrace up top has a beautiful view of the entire city and surrounding mountains and volcanoes, and that was a huge plus to staying there. If you want inexpensive and basic, then La Posada is a great place to stay.

Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....
1-Bernardrick McKinney MLB Mississippi State 6 ft 5 250 4.5 40 yard dash
We have no idea what the Steelers think, but it will unfold in the next few weeks. Their pick at 1.17 is going to shock the majority of this board, IMO.

Woodley is a stud. He'll be back to form. He's had injury issues throughout his career and as a result has been up and down. Either really good or really bad. Always comes up big in the big games.
I think injuries can be a bit of bad luck and some guys can get over the hump and be ok. We've had a lot of injured guys or guys coming back from major injury. I think we'll get our groove back and Woodley will be a big part of it. I believe in the guy. I'm not sure we have the whole story here.
Restructuring also ties the player and the team closer together, because it becomes more expensive in future years to cut that player. For example, had they not restructured Colon, it would be cheaper to cut him now.....nevermind the fact that they gave him a long term deal to begin with.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (9/18/13) – Owensboro Public School Board of Education members were divided over concerns about a lack of representation for the district's preschool facility, but decided it's really too late in the process to do much about it.
At the board's luncheon meeting on Tuesday, board chairperson Nancy Eskridge asked the board to consider finding a way to add a member to the developing Local Planning Committee from the preschool. The LPC is a group that is created periodically in Kentucky school districts to review building and education concerns, and to plot out the direction the district should take based on an extensive review of such issues.
At issue was the structure of how members for OPS' LPC are selected. Primarily the members are required to live within the school district boundaries, but it was pointed out during the meeting that none of the current preschool faculty lives within that area. Members discussed the possibility of securing a waiver as well as the idea of asking an LPC member to take a non-voting seat on the group so that a preschool teacher or administrator would have that place, but board members Steven Knight and Cate Lauzon said they didn't think last-minute changes to the list – particularly for the reasons presented – are a good idea.
"It's already set. Why change it?" Knight said in expressing his opposition.
Lauzon agreed.
"I'd be good either way but I think we should have dealt with it earlier… rather than asking people to leave," she said. "I don't want to start asking people not to be members. It's an uncomfortable situation to be in."
Eskridge said the preschool has a history of being treated as an "accessory" by the rest of the district.
"I think voting is an important, critical issue," she said. "That's my opinion. I am not sure that anyone is as committed to Early Childhood Education as anyone in that building."
Ultimately, the board decided to leave the list as is, but to work with preschool staff to encourage them to attend the LPC meetings to give input. The list will be formally presented and approved at the board's regular meeting on Thursday, Sept. 24.
The board on Tuesday also briefly reviewed routine budgetary issues and looked over the tentative agenda for next week's regular meeting before OPS Superintendent Nick Brake wrapped up the luncheon with a review of new Kentucky Department of Education priorities to be presented in the upcoming legislative session. He said the list of priorities has been reduced from about 45 in previous years to just a handful, and went over the list of goals with the board.

The future of the German Grand Prix remains hanging in the balance but Bernie Ecclestone says he is committed to making the race happen.
The Nurburgring is due to host the GP this year as part of its rotation plan with Hockenheim, but financial woes have left the circuit unable to afford the race.
Ecclestone had been in talks with officials in an attempt to save the race but told German magazine Spiegel that: "After due consideration of their proposal we believe it is regrettably not financially acceptable, so we have terminated our negotiations."
However, while Nurburgring's chances of hosting the race are looking slim, Hockenheim may be asked to fill the void.
"I am doing my best to make sure we have an event in Germany," Ecclestone told the Associated Press, "but, at the moment, I can't say whether it will be Hockenheim or Nurburgring."
In an additional twist, Pitpass have reported that Jorg Linder and Kai Richter, two businessmen involved with the Nurburgring, are suing the circuit's boss, Karl-Josef Schmidt. The duo allege that Schmidt damaged the negotiations with Ecclestone.

Gaithersburg apartments for rent now occupy what used to be a small agricultural settlement known as Log Town. Gaithersburg was named after Benjamin Gaither, the first man to build a home in the area. The city saw astronomical growth after the National Bureau of Standards, known today as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was built by the government agency in 1961. The city is now recognized as a suburb of Washington, D.C., and one of the top technology industries has replaced the city's small town beginnings as an agricultural hub.
Gaithersburg apartments for rent offer residents the opportunity to partake in programs funded by the Department of Parks. These programs are available to residents of all ages and were designed to help improve the overall quality of life in Gaithersburg. Some of the special events the Department of Parks sponsors include Art in Public Places, the Backyard Concert Series, the Gaithersburg Book Festival, outdoor flea markets and a Paws in the Park Dog Walk Festival, among many others.
Those living in apartments in Gaithersburg can learn about Gaithersburg history by visiting the Family Museum in Olde Towne Gaithersburg. The community museum offers both permanent and rotating exhibits as well as interactive displays and educational programs. One of the coolest historical exhibits featured at the Family Museum in Olde Towne Gaithersburg is the Gaithersburg International Latitude Observatory. This observatory was built in 1899 and was one of the original four stations selected to monitor systematic observations of the Earth's polar motion by the International Geodetic Association. The other three locations were stationed in Japan, Italy and California.
The greater Montgomery County offers the city of Gaithersburg and its residents public transportation systems, including an Amtrak train system. Gaithersburg residents can access the Amtrak at the Metrorail at the Shady Grove Station. Other railway systems serving Gaithersburg include the MARC Commuter train system and the Metrorail/Metrobus system. Gaithersburg is also close to three national airports and one international airport.
Gaithersburg apartments for rent come in a variety of options, including townhouses, condos, multi-family garden complexes and high rises. Almost half of the Gaithersburg housing facilities are renter-occupied. For city residents who cannot afford to pay for housing on their own due to low-income, medical or mental disabilities, the City of Gaithersburg offers those in need the opportunity to obtain housing that is both livable and safe.
The average cost of living in Gaithersburg is 10.5 percent less than the state average and 12 percent greater than the national average cost of living. Residents of Gaithersburg pay an estimated $3.93 for a gallon of gas, $4.23 for a cup of coffee and $8.00 for pizza, according to AreaVibes.
Gaithersburg apartments are great places to live when starting a business thanks to the many resources offered by the city. Economic development is a top priority for Gaithersburg residents and government as the city strives to create a place residents enjoy living, working, learning and playing in. Gaithersburg is recognized for its prime location at the heart of the Washington-Baltimore region - the city is known as the fourth largest retail market in the nation. Major Gaithersburg employers include Hughes Network Systems, IBM, Lockheed Martin and MedImmune, among many others.
Gaithersburg apartments are home to the fourth highest concentration of students pursuing their degree in higher education. The city's close location to nearby Washington, D.C., is an easy hour commute.

It's a happy ending for a sad story. The abused puppies left for dead on railroad tracks in Albany have now been adopted. Our Megan Cruz was there when the new owners came to pick them up.
MENANDS, N.Y. -- MENANDS, N.Y. -- Hudson plants a wet one on one of his new owners. He's one of the railroad puppies rescued back in September.
"Just something about both of them when you saw them on TV and saw pictures," said Schodack resident Richard Nash. "Just fell in love instantly."
And Richard and his wife, Rosemarie, knew it was a love that would last. So when the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society put Hudson up for adoption, Rosemarie sat down at her computer.
"To make him happy, he'd have a wonderful home, we love our animals," she said, describing the gist of the 300 word essay she wrote to the Humane Society.
You see, this wasn't any ordinary adoption. Executive Director Brad Shear explains why.
"We saw as these puppies grew that they have great personalities and healthy and had overcome so much," he said. "We just wanted a family that they were going to be happy."
Hudson and his two siblings had been brought to the Humane Society in the fall. They were found on the railroad tracks at North Pearl Street in Albany. Each was malnourished and had severe injuries to their left rear paws. One died from those injuries, the other two were nursed back to health, despite one having two toes cut off and the other losing his whole paw. The latter was named Hudson, the other, Pearl.
Out of about 30 essays explaining why they should be their owners, Shear says Nash's stood out.
"They really put their heart into it," he said. "It was obvious they cared for these puppies, they've been following their stories and it touched them personally. At the same time, there were some practical matters: Their experience with animals, they have other dogs in their homes."
Similar reasons why the Kittles were chosen for Pearl.
"Just kind of poured out my heart and felt that we could provide her with a forever home and give her lots of love that she needed," said Poestenkill resident Susan Kittle.
Play dates have been planned for the two siblings so they can keep in touch.
Both families eager to give the pups the happy ending they deserve.
"Look at him, just gorgeous," said Rosemarie. "Sweet, even after his traumatic start in life."
"She didn't get a good start, but we'll certainly give her a good finish," said Kittle.
But while Hudson and Pearl have found new homes, the person or people responsible for hurting them has yet to be found. The Albany Police Department is asking anyone with information to call them at 462-8039. There's a $7,000 reward if that information leads to an arrest.

A 91-Year-Old Skydiver Tells Her 'Saving Story' For Firstborn, Fidelity
What makes a great story? Start with an old person fondly rehashing their adventures, then try having that story acted out by adorable little kids. Throw in "sky jumping," some honest American values, a couple fake moustaches, and you've got Firstborn's new campaign for Fidelity Investments.
"You can sit and do nothing," Marian Barnett–the 91-year-old skydiver in question–says. "But if I sit and do nothing, I'm bored. I'd rather save my money and jump out of an airplane again. That's more fun."
Marian is the first subject in Fidelity's "Saving Stories," a series that aims to show people investing is doable and rewarding. In turn, the Saving Stories are part of Fidelity's Personal Economy center, a site that helps people take control of their finances.
Though the video runs a little long (do you have 5 minutes for an ad?), Firstborn perfected the buzzword of the season: storytelling. Marian's spunky spirit, the creative imagery associated with her tale, and its ultimate happy ending/moral make me want to start a jar of nickels. I'll be curious to see how Firstborn follows up with their next Saving Story.
Credits after the jump.

By Nana of Two
from Bartlett, TN
We purchased this book for a dear friend who has helped my husband work on his Harley. When we ride we frequently visit old battlefields which our friend dearly loves. He said he has learned several new things from the book which was wonderful as he is a Civil War fanatic. I plan on purchasing one for my husband so they can go toe to toe. I highly recommend this book. Our friend says it is fantastic!

Advanced Research
At the extremes of science, research often goes beyond "scientific discovery" to become the discovery of new sciences.
In laboratories around the world, Keysight instrumentation has become an integral part of advanced experimental systems, whether for system control or experiment observation.
Applications include:
- Astrophysics
- Nuclear physics
- Particle physics
- Plasma physics
and other high-energy physics advanced research applications.
Keysight high-speed instruments are used in two major areas:
- Real-time control and measurement
- Single-shot, or event-based measurements
Expanding knowledge on phenomena at galactic or nanometer scale, confidence in results is strengthened by dependable measurement solutions that provide exceptional speed and measurement fidelity. Keysight provides the extreme speed and precision needed for system monitoring and control, and for capturing data from the events at speeds that exceed the interactions of the experiments themselves.

When a seller review is marked "Verified Purchase" , it means that the customer who wrote the review purchased an item from a seller at Amazon.in or from a seller at Junglee where a purchase transaction can be confirmed.
If a seller review is not marked as a Verified Purchase, it doesn't mean that the reviewer has no experience with a particular seller - it just means we couldn't verify with certainty that a purchase was made. They may have purchased the item on a seller site without Junglee being able to confirm the transaction.

HS18 sends in the wrong product, and then refuses to even register a ticket saying it is beyond their 24hr SLA. Lousy policies, lousy products, even lousier service. Totally avoidable.

homeshop18 was a good experience for me. I had taken a mobile from this site and it reached me in described time but when I bought a t shirt from an other site I had to wait for a longer time and was fed up of that site because of this waiting. But homeshop18 had given me my item on the time limit that they have asked. i am so happy with homeshop18 .

5 Takes on Sustainable Local Economies
Tags: british columbia, comox valley, dunbar village, job creation, local currency, northeast portland tool library, regional economies, Sustainability, tool library, village business association, YouTube
A significant component of sustainability is developing and fostering strong local economies. Why? Well, people often conceptualize regional economies using economic base theory, of which one part is the idea of leakage. Basically, when people who live in a community spend money outside of their community or spend money with a business that takes money outside of their community, money "leaks" out of the area. Large retail chains and businesses owned by multi-national firms have high rates of leakage for local economies. Leakage also happens when people travel to another community and spend money there (i.e. tourism, but this helps bring in capital to the tourist destination). So, encouraging locally-owned businesses helps to stem leakage, keeps locally-earned dollars circulating within a community, and generally promotes prosperity and job-creation in the region. This is what makes it literally sustainable.
So what … Continue Reading

(CNN) -- Lindsey Vonn made her comeback to the World Cup skiing circuit on Saturday, but was upstaged by fellow American Alice McKennis in her favored downhill event at St. Anton in Austria.
Olympic champion Vonn had missed almost four weeks of action, deciding to take a break due to an intestinal illness which has ruined her chances of retaining her overall World Cup crown.
The 28-year-old returned to the piste just days after her divorce from fellow skiing star Thomas Vonn was finalized, having been separated for more than a year, but had to take a back seat as McKennis claimed her maiden World Cup race victory.
The 23-year-old headed off Italy's second-placed Daniela Merighetti and Austria's Anna Fenninger, who was third.
"It's totally shocking for me. I had hoped to be top 10," McKennis told the U.S. Ski Team website.
"I had one of the best runs I've ever had. I've never been here before but I knew what I had to do. It's a really tough course. I had to be really aggressive the whole way and never back off. If you do, it will take control of you.
"I'm a little overwhelmed but extremely happy. It's a dream come true -- something you think about as a little kid growing up."
Read: Vonn vows to fight on in bid to race men
Slovenia's Tina Maze was fourth ahead of another American, Laurenne Ross, to extend her overall World Cup lead to 490 points.
Vonn was sixth equal with Switzerland's Dominique Gisin, but stayed at the top of the downhill standings -- leading compatriot Stacey Cook by 45 points after four of eight races.
"It makes me proud to be a part of a great bunch of girls. For me, I'm just happy to be back," said Vonn, who missed six events -- three slaloms, two giant slaloms and a parallel slalom -- but will be back in action for Sunday's Super G race.
"It was definitely tough conditions. The course workers did a great job -- I almost didn't think it was possible to run today," she said after the course was shortened due to heavy overnight snow.
"I made some mistakes but I felt good and I felt my skiing was where it should be."
It was a good day for American skiers, with Ted Ligety triumphing in the men's giant slalom in Adelboden, Switzerland.
It left him top of the giant slalom standings ahead of overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher.
The Austrian led the first run and most of the second before hitting a gate and finishing 16th, ending his run of podium placings.
"Marcel Hirscher won this race here today, he was ahead big time but I guess I'll take it as it is," Ligety said after his first win at a venue where Hirscher won both slaloms in 2012.
" But I have given away some of these gift victories in the past, so somehow things always even out in the end. I am very happy to win here today, it has been a hill that I have struggled with my whole career and today finally I can go home with a win."
It left Ligety in third place overall, 103 points behind Hirscher and 77 behind Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal.
Felix Neureuther is fourth after finishing third at Adelboden behind fellow German Fritz Dopfer.

Senior Publishes Book, Plans Thursday Book-Signing
Armstrong: 'When my kids see me accomplishing goals, they get excited and encouraged also'
May 7, 2013
Susan Armstrong tells the story of a 15-year-old girl that defies her strict parents and finds herself "trapped and helpless in the clutches of a dangerous world" she never imagined.
She recently published her young adult fiction novel, Torn Hearts, and plans a book signing event Thursday (May 9), from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the lobby of Wilmington College's Pyle Student Center.
Armstrong is a senior at Wilmington College from Clarksville majoring in social work with a minor in criminal justice. She expects to graduate Saturday. The nontraditional student is a single mother with three children.
In fact, her children represent a major reason why she both is in college and an author.
"When my kids see me accomplishing goals, they get excited and encouraged also," she said. "I'm going to school for my kids."
Armstrong, whose novel was written under the pen name "Suz Hoagland," has been writing seriously "with hopes of getting published" for more than a year. She described the practice as both energizing and relaxing.
"I've always loved to read," she said, noting she has been inspired in the craft by her favorite authors. "Writing has become my outlet. It helps me relax and wash the world away."
Torn Hearts features 15-year-old Samantha Summers, whose parents keep her "locked up" on the family farm and in school, never even allowed to go to the mall or do any of the things her friends are doing.
(LEFT) Susan Armstrong
Compounding her frustration is football captain Brad Johnson's romantic interest in her and Samantha's parents' refusal to let her see him. Samantha also is "haunted" by secrets from her past.
Each of these scenarios plays into the teen defying her parents and accepting Brad's invitation to attend the "party of the year."
"Suddenly, Samantha's life is turned around," Armstrong said. "She is forced to face her own dark secrets and to discover the secrets that her friends have kept from her.
"Her journey is about finding herself and learning about true freedom, and finding the courage to stand up for yourself when everything else is crashing down."
