Chocolate Enigma
You might have gotten your cocao bean fix from Tuesday's coverage of Indulgence Chocolatiers. But I bet not. More chocolate is on its way. The Third Ward's Red Elephant Chocolate Café (333 N. Broadway) is putting the finishing touches on for its Nov. 20 opening. The shop's premise is not limited to candies and truffles. The shop will offer baked goods and drinks (hot cocoa and chocolate coffee) – and, tying into the business name, elephant- and cocoa-themed jewelry, books, handbags and other items.
Coasters Are Clear
"Gifty" and "thrifty" are words attached to the coaster-shaped restaurant discount cards known as City Tins. What you get for your $25 investment is 20 coasters, each one good for 10 bucks off a $25 purchase at a local restaurant. Among the 20 Milwaukee restaurants included in the 2013 edition are: Blue's Egg, Café Manna, La Merenda, Pastiche, Meritage, Hinterland, Café Hollander, Juniper 61 and (new this year) Bosley on Brady. The tins are available a couple of ways – on the City Tins website and at local restaurants and retail shops listed on the website. There's also a Madison restaurant edition including Lombardino's, Brasserie V and Nostrano.
Steering Courses
Earlier today, someone at Potawatomi Bingo Casino e-mailed a photo of a very large steer. The casino bought the 1,339-pound Reserve Grand Champion Chianina in a livestock auction at last summer's Wisconsin State Fair. All well and good, but does that mean for you? Three of the casino restaurants are offering the spoils from this prodigious animal on their menus this month. On Tuesday Nov. 13, Wild Earth Cucina Italiana is doing a five-course menu of spiedini, pappardelle with braised short ribs, and grilled tenderloin with shrimp, among other course. Dinner at 6 p.m.; cost: $75 with wine pairings. For reservations, call 414-847-7626. (1721 W. Canal St.)
Look for Dish on Dining on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

I was driving from Poland on Rt. 28 to Barneveld, NY. When about 5 miles out of Poland in a field I saw this Bald Eagle. I turned around to go back to get my camcorder. I took a couple of pictures with it and he as eating something. He then flew up into a nearby Evergreen tree. I did get that on video also, but, it didn't come out too well. I will have to see if it makes in here.

Chainsaws Again Threaten Old Trees at Ingraham High School
It was a long shot expecting the City of Seattle to come to the defense of the old trees at Ingraham High School. The Seattle School District also only sawthe trees as an impediment to their development plans. Now Seattle Hearing Examiner Ann Watanabe has also chose to ignore the evidence in the Hearing Record and Seattle City law requiring that priority be given to protecting uncommon plant and animal habitat in the City of Seattle. She has denied the appeal by Save the Trees-Seattle to stop the 70 year old 100 foot tall eveegreen trees from being cut being cut down at Ingraham High School in North Seattle.
The decision is not yet posted on the Hearing Examiner's website. When it is I will post a link here.
The environmental review now goes back to the King County Superior Court. We will be appealing the decision and it will be up to the court to make a final decision. They previously issued a restraining order preventing the Seattle School District from cutting down the 70 year old 100 foot tall Douglas fir, western red cedar and Pacific madrone trees until the environmental review was completed by the City of Seattle. That has now been done.
In her most recent decision Seattle hearing Examiner Ann Watanabe chose to ignore testimony from Save the Trees – Seattle that alternative sites for building the school addition were available on the Ingraham campus and that the Seattle School District padded the cost for other sites by adding in features like an additional 2000 square foot entrance on designs for the North side. Of course this raised the cost for any North side addition. The Seattle School District's designs and cost estimates for alternative sites lacked credibility when closely examined.
Many of the issues raised were ignored by the Hearing Examiner. One obvious early sign of the Hearing Examiner's limiting review of relevant issues was her upholding a preliminary motion by the Seattle School District to exclude testimony on wildlife by one of the witnesses we called, Kirk Prindle, a wildlife biologist who is a member of Seattle's Urban Forestry Commission. This was despite the submitting of new bird studies for the Seattle School District, which were included in DPD's file.
The Hearing Examiner ignored basic ecological considerations, as did the DPD and the Seattle School District. Groves of trees, particularly groves with conifers are not common in Seattle. The particular association at Ingraham of conifers and madrone trees is an uncommon plant habitat in Seattle. The Hearing Examiner in her previous decision agreed with this. There are only about 52 acres total of conifer madrone forest in all of Seattle, mostly at Seward Park. While there are scatterings of Douglas fir and madrone trees here and there in Seattle what is unique about Ingraham is that it is a 1.2 acre site and a grove of some 130 trees rather than just a few trees.
The diversity of plants and animals in a grove is directly correlated with patch or grove size size. The larger the patch size, the more diversity of plants and animals. Because all of Seattle has been logged over, except for some 50 acres of old growth at Schmidt's Park, the Ingraham Grove represents some of the oldest trees in Seattle. This older growth and uncommon plant habitat should be saved. City environmental law gives a priority for doing this. Yet at Ingraham High School, given the viable option of saving the grove in it's entirety because alternative sites exist, the Seattle Hearing Examiner has chosen not to.
Unfortunately the so called Emerald City of Seattle has a policy that we will save trees unless they prevent the development potential of a site. When this was mentioned by an employee of Seattle's Department of Planning and Development at a recent urban forest symposium on saving trees, the whole room broke out in spontaneous laughter. Yes it was said seriously but it is a joke obviously when the absurdity of the policy sinks in.
Unfortunately the consequence is not a joke. Seattle continues to lose trees, especially during development. Exceptional trees basically have no protection at any time because the whole process is complaint driven. By the time you hear the chainsaw, it is too late to stop a tree from being cut down. So DPD's proposal is that since the current system doesn't save trees, let's scrap the law mandating protection for old trees in the city altogether. It's like BP after they weren't able to initially stop the oil flow in the Gulf saying, well this didn't work so lets just stop trying.
One way the city can get some control over continued tree cutting, especially old trees is to expand its current permit system, to require a permit to cut down any tree over 6 inches in diameter on public and private property. The Seattle Department of Transportation already requires a permit before a tree can be cut down or even pruned if it is on the public right of way. Yet the DPD in their just released proposal for a new tree ordinance for the City of Seattle dismisses tree permits altogether and basically argues that we need to just encourage people to do the right thing and save trees by more public outreach and education. Like this has worked.
What we need is a change of policy and priorities. In the past people used to shot songbirds to eat. Fashion also threatened the very survival of many bird speicies as birds were killed for their feathers to create lavish "fashionable" hats. Yet we changed public policy to end this absurd killing of birds for money and fashion.
Trees are no less valuable living life forms than birds. In fact birds need native trees and shrubs to survive. Unfortunately trees are not mobile like birds. That makes them even more vulnerable. They are living entities of beauty and its an ecological necessity to protect them if birds and insects and other species are to survive on our planet. Obviously the DPD's proposal is ridiculous to eliminate protection for trees, especially exceptional trees.
We require hunting licenses to kill various wildlife and populations are monitored to ensure that overhunting does not occur and a species is wiped out. It's time to do the same for trees in our city. Trusting that people will not cut down trees wantonly and drive species of associated animals and plants to extinction in our city should not be left to chance and wishful thinking.
The current underegulated and unenforced tree protections are resulting in a continued decline of our urban forest. Most tree increases in recent years have been the short lived, small trees that get planted in the parking strips. The large trees and few remaining groves of trees continue to be cut down. Its time to change this. The interim ordinace passed last year limits tree cutting to 3 a year yet even this is not monitored or enforced. Without permits and tracking of trees cut down we have no idea who is doing what. We see plenty of examples everyday however of trees being cut down.
Save the Trees-Seattle is working to stop trees being cut down in the city and come up with a workable new tree protection ordinance. You can help support our efforts by making a contribution to Save the Trees-Seattle. Click on the donate button below to make a contribution of $50 or $100 or or $25 or whatever you can so we can continue our efforts to save the trees in Seattle from the chainsaws.

Letter to Hilary Rodham Clinton Concerning Conference on Children's Mental Health
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Office of the First Lady
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the 159,000 members and affiliates of the American Psychological Association (APA), I want to thank you for convening the public-private collaboration meeting on the mental health of children on March 20. We applaud your ongoing efforts to ensure that children with emotional and behavioral conditions are appropriately diagnosed, treated, monitored, and managed by qualified health care professionals, in collaboration with parents and educators. I thank you for including our organization in this important event.
We look forward to a continuing dialogue on children's mental health and want to extend our support to help organize a successful conference on the treatment of children with behavioral and mental conditions. We hope that this conference will use scientifically-based information to help parents, educators, and health professionals understand critical issues regarding preventive approaches, the complexities of accurate diagnosis, and the types of behavioral and pharmacological treatments available to help children with mental disorders. We encourage you to consider two core issues affecting quality care for children with mental disorders in these discussions: (1) access to qualified mental health professionals, and (2) the effects of insurance requirements and the structure of managed care plans, which too often preclude behavioral interventions in favor of psychotropic medication.
We hope this conference will bring further attention to the critical need to increase funds for research on children's mental health issues, particularly those that involve very young children. The scientific foundation needed to improve the treatment of children with emotional and behavioral conditions is incomplete. For example, we do not have enough empirical research on diagnostic assessment of very young children, nor do we know enough about appropriate ways to measure accurately current behavior in preschool children to predict their future behavior. In addition, we know too little about the potential impact of psychotropic medications on a child's developing brain, or about the degree to which gains made while taking medications are sustained after medication usage stops. Research is also need to examine the efficacy of behavioral and/or pharmacological interventions to treat various mental health problems and disorders in preschool-age children.
APA has access to an extensive membership, including researchers, practitioners, and educators, whose work is critical to understanding the social, emotional, and physiological development of children and youth. APA's commitment to children, and particularly children's mental health, is evident in APA's involvement in activities ranging from our annual support of the National Head Start Conference, to our public awareness campaigns such as Warning Signs (focused on helping communities address youth problems) and Reason to Hope (educating parents of young children about prevention), to recent Capitol Hill briefings on youth violence prevention and preventing educational failure.
Please find enclosed a list of clinical and research psychologists with wide-ranging knowledge on children's mental health issues, together with contact information for the two members of the APA Board of Directors who would represent our organization at the conference. As part of that list, we have included information about seven of APA's divisions specifically devoted to children and child development.
Thank you for your dedication to our nation's children and your continuing efforts to raise awareness and improve public policy regarding the mental health of our nation and all its citizens.

Everyone knows the only thing more awkward than searching for love IRL is trying to find it online. Even the experts say you should be yourself. But if that really worked, you wouldn't be scouring Tinder for someone to make out with, would you?
Luckily, WIRED has assembled a series of infographics explaining how to "optimize your online dating profile." That's tech for "get laid."
The folks at OkCupid and Match.com helped them create the tips. And now, the folks at Betabeat are telling you the most important points. These are actual real facts gleaned from hundreds of the most popular online dating profiles. Just to reiterate, we did not make these up.
1. Men with tattoos are popular, while inked women are not. Better rethink that YOLO tramp stamp.
2. Don't talk about karaoke. This is just a good general life rule.
3. Pretend you surf.
4. If you're a girl, talk about London, NYC, yoga, surfing and "athlete." And always refer to yourself as a girl, despite the fact that you have completed puberty and are well beyond first onset of menses.
5. If you're a boy, use the words "surfing," "surf," "yoga," "skiing" and "the ocean." Basically, pretend you are a merman with a lift ticket. Never use the word "girl." Steadfastly avoid females who refer to themselves as "women."
6. If you're a man, talk more about crafting and your children, and less about electronics. You're Martha Stewart in a pair of Dockers.
7. If you're a woman, talk more about electronics and don't bring up crafting. Never, ever mention your children.
8. Talk about critically acclaimed movies and TV shows like Homeland, Arrested Development and Pulp Fiction. Common sense and statistics dictate that talking about The Big Bang Theory is a turnoff.
9. Radiohead is the only band/musical entity you should ever talk about.
10. Talk about "cats" in general, just don't say "my cats," because that makes you sound like a lonely freak.
11. Don't ever age, unless you're a man. The word "retirement" is the most attractive work related word in men's profiles. When women use it, though, it's the second least attractive word.
12. If you live in Detroit, take a picture of yourself posing in Chicago.
13. Shirtless pics are creepy.
14. Smiling with teeth is attractive; it denotes good health and rich parents who sprung for the good orthodontia. Stay away from duck face.
15. Be hotter than you are now. Start working out. Nobody gives a shit about your pretty eyes. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, you need to have a six pack.
16. Men who use "whom" get 31 percent more contacts from women. It doesn't even have to be grammatically correct. Whom knew!
17. Early Sunday afternoon is Grindr's peak time, while it's best to use Tinder, Match and OkCupid from 5 to 10 p.m. on the Lord's Day. We're sure this is either because boozy brunch gives people balls, or attending church strikes the fear of god in them that they might die alone.
Basically, just pretend you are rich, hot, thin, and totally chill. The good news? All of this stuff is way easier to fake online than it is in person. Happy hunting.

Kiteboarding News
- 07 October 2008 | Kiteboarding
Another fantastic day concludes at the PKRA 2008 World Tour in Matanzas, Chile dubbed Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008. The same weather condition as yesterday prevailed today with cloudy to overcast skies in the morning but bright, sunny weather in the afternoon. The wind was also light during the first half of the day so the games started an hour and a half later than the original schedule of 10:30 a.m. Most of the competitors rigged their 9-meter kites during the start but went on to downgrade to their 7-meters later in the day.
In today's notable heats, Maciek Kozerski (Naish, POL) was defeated by Michael Schitzhofer (JN, AUS) in a tough heat #27a with more powered moves, higher tricks and faster moves. Tom Court (North, GBR) defeated Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS) in the same heat with a fairly solid run, landing a regular and switch mobe, back to blind air pass, kiteloop handle pass, slim, shifty 3, and a blind judge with aerial handle pass. Yates on the other hand, landed a slim, 313 5, blind judge with aerial handle pass, back to blind air pass, front mobe and mobe to wrapped.
Alvaro Onieva (Best, ESP) took a decisive win over countryman Cesar Portas (North) in the 28th heat with more power and cleaner execution while Tom Hebert (Airush, New Caledonia) defeated Madison Van Heurck (Naish, USVI) in a super stylish heat, riding smoothly and more powered.
Alex Pastor (Naish, ESP) lived to fight another day and moved a step closer to challenging Mikael Blomvall for the 4th place overall by knocking out Shitzhofer in heat #29 with high technical difficulty score and better execution and Pastor in heat #30b. Russian Petr Tyuskevich then defeated Tom Court in the same heat with more varied tricks and a higher technical difficulty score.
The 30th heat saw Onieva pounced Hebert, riding super-powered moves and clean tricks, going against Hebert's big moves with grabs. With a much lower kite throughout this moves plus more variation, Onieva took the heat win and moved on the next round only to be defeated by countryman Pastor who is bent on getting the 4th place overall win. With a higher technical riding score, landing a regular and switch slim/back to blind air pass, mobe, front mobe, blind judge, and front mobe to blind, Pastor won the heat. However, his luck ran out in the 32nd heat when he landed hard on the water and hurt his ankle and headed back to the beach. Pastor landed only a blind judge, mobe, non-inverted slim while his opponent, Sebastien Garat (RRD, FRA) landed a blind judge, hasselhoff, 313, s-bend to blind, slim and kgb thereby taking the win. Pastor settled for 5th place in the overall PKRA rankings as a result of his loss.

The Lüderitz Speed Challenge saw Sebastien Cattelan of France become the first human being to sail at more than 50 knots (93kph) – a world record he held for only 24 hours before compatriot Alexandre Caizergues snatched it away with not one but three runs over 50 knots – reaching a top speed of 50.57 knots (93.65kph).
• Alexandre Caizergues (France) – new outright world speed sailing record of 50.57 knots
(F-One, Ouest Provence, Volkswagen Utilitaires, ION, Placide)
• New outright Netherlands speed sailing record: Rolf van der Vlugt 45.99 knots (Airush, Mystic, Protest, TUDelft, X-tremeboards)
• New outright UK speed sailing record: David Williams 44.78 knots
(Best Kiteboarding, Dead Man clothing, KMS)
• New outright France women's speed sailing record: Charlotte Consorti 43.53 knots (F-One, Nike, Maui Magic, Baracuda, Weleda)
• New outright Slovenia speed sailing record: Jernej Privsek 41.97 knots
(Jägermeister, Cocta, Kitesfera, Garmin)
• New outright Belgium speed sailing record: Christian Baret 40.87 knots
(Summerwood Guesthouse)
• New outright Netherlands women's speed sailing record: Katja Roose 37.18 knots (Protest, Maui Magic, Airush)
• New UK women's kitesurf record: Jemma Grobbelaar 35.61 knots (Flexifoil, Xelerator, Dakine, Arnette, Derevko, Cti, Lizzy, Island Tribe)
These speeds are verified, but are still subject to ratification by the WSSRC.

The weather system that brings the nuclear 40+ knot winds to the second lagoon in Lüderitz, Namibia, is building. Moderate winds are expected today, building on Friday and peaking on Saturday, with tides at the right level for many hours of competition speed sailing.
The speed sailors are starting to get edgy with anticipation, because with the lessons learned from the first Big Weekend over the 16th to the 19th September, plus good or better wind conditions, plus some redesign work on the chop killer, expectations are high for even more records, especially to best the 50 knot barrier.
Says Rob Douglas (USA – Cabrina, Amundsen, Dakine, The Black Dog, Lynch), current event leader and outright world record holder at 49.84 knots (92.3kph), "We been testing a couple of things today, tomorrow and Saturday we get ready for the fifty." Douglas and his coach Mike Gebhardt travelled to South Africa's Mother City for a few days to repair boards and build some new ones. "We've got some new boards to test that we built with Cape Doctor in Cape Town, where we are experimenting with ABS construction. We also have some new boards by Cabrinha, who sent some prototypes."
Frenchman Sebastien Cattelan (Genetrix, Xelerator, Prolimit, Ocean Eyewear, Dabens), currently running in second place, declares: "Maybe we get fifty tomorrow, the day after it's even stronger. For sure a page of history will be turned." New Dutch contender, Rolf van der Vlugt (Airush, Mystic, Protest, TUDelft, X-tremeboards), is also upbeat about the conditions: "It's going to be good. Today we warm up, Friday we warm up a little bit more, Saturday we're smoking."

Three Real Deal Mexican Restaurants in Fairfield County
Los Portales
49 Fort Point St.,Norwalk, (203) 854-9283
Tacos Mexico
82 Fort Point St., Norwalk, (203) 866 6256
La Poblanita
1660 Park Ave., Bridgeport, (203) 384-2377, lapoblanitarestaurant.com
Mexican is the theme park of food trends, with restaurateurs designing hip, upscale scenes that emulate the downscale. That's great. But I'm living the downscale. Rather than go to a restaurant named after a bodega, I find the real one. I've got a couple favorite Mexican dives that make you feel like you're in Mexico. Places where the food is good and the price is right.
Los Portales is not where to go with your girlfriends for quesadillas and nachos. Cramped into an old wooden house, on the corner of Fort Point Street in Norwalk, not far from the dump, oh, excuse me, transfer station, it's a crowded hangout for the workers of Fairfield County. I first wrote about it 10 years ago. I went early in the morning to watch them make fresh corn tortillas, which puffed up on the griddle in a way I've been trying to copy ever since (it's harder than you think). I bought my tortilla press and first bag of masa — the lime-treated corn flour — at Los Portales. They also sell fresh tomatillos, cilantro, dried chiles, and packaged goods. The butcher's counter is filled with meat that hasn't been prepackaged, a reminder that oxygen turns meat brown.
The other day I sat down at one of the tables squeezed into the center of the room, and reviewed the organ-meat extravaganza of a menu. You want nose-to-tail eating? It's all here, cow's head, pork stomach, tongue, tripe. This is the food of working people. Tacos are $3. I liked the gelatinous quality of the pork stomach and the browned, caramelized bits. Like the cow's head, the meat is simmered till tender, then fried on the griddle. Then it's laid upon a double layer of corn tortillas and topped with raw onion and cilantro. Go to the salsa bar for a choice of salsas and pickled jalapenos and carrots.
I like tripe, and that's what I ordered, but what I was served (translation issue?) was actually chitterlings and it kind of freaked me out. There was something about the texture of the tubular chunks and the funk that made me not want to eat the pieces that fell from my taco. We love what is most familiar and my favorite taco was the pork al pastor, the tender, chile-rubbed morsels of meat.
Tacos are the perfect food. The soft, warm corn tortilla enveloping and carrying a bundle of chopped meat, fresh cilantro and the raw bite of chopped onions, dressed with salsa. No matter the type of salsa — salsa fresco, spicy green tomatillo, or darker, dried chile-based salsa, I love it all. Tacos always hit the spot.
Just down the street on Fort Point, right off East Avenue near the train station, is Tacos Mexico; I discovered it about 10 years ago. On a recent visit I was glad to see that their awesome popularity has caused them to expand and build a bar. (My friends love the tequila drinks made with fresh juices.)
Tacos Mexico is flooded on weekends with working families enjoying a break. On a recent weekend afternoon it was so packed I walked in and out again. But I returned a few days later for weekday lunch. It was less crowded but still busy, with a steady stream of regulars. Three big men at another table smiled as they put their spoons into big goblets of soupy shrimp ceviche.
Tacos Mexico has a $6.99 daily lunch special that begins with a cup of soup of the day. I've been served a brothy, flavorful bean and vegetable soup, and the other day, a creamy bean soup topped with fried tortilla strips and a sprinkle of queso fresco. Both soups were the highlights of lunch. Tacos tri colore, a lunch special, was a pretty dish of three chicken tacos, bright orange rice and beans. Squiggles of crema and queso fresco divided the half sauced with green tomatillo and the other half dressed in fresh orange-hued tomato sauce. One warning: the parking lot is small and crowded, and you'll wish you'd parked on the street.
La Poblanita on Park Avenue in Bridgeport isn't in the greatest neighborhood, but it's not in the worst either. And it's not a beautiful restaurant. The walls are amateurishly sponged blue, there are philodendrons snaking around the room, and it's noisy with the sound of Spanish TV and sometimes music too. But La Poblanita is always full of Spanish-speaking people eating heartily. Lately, I'm in a tepango enchiladas phase because I love the spicy adobo sauce. But there was a time when I had to have the chicken enchiladas in green sauce. If you dine with a group of friends, or order a whole bunch of food for delivery, try the chicken poblanita — chicken and meaty, skinned poblano chiles. I've also enjoyed the chipotle-infused seafood soup. To drink, there are wonderful fresh juices. We order watermelon, with a shot of tequila on the side, which we sip.
Don't get me wrong, I love that some of Connecticut's best chefs have delved into Mexican cuisine and are elevating it and creating fun atmospheres in which to eat it. But Los Portales, Tacos Mexico and La Poblanita are the real deal.

Would Republicans Block Lincoln, Jesus, and Jefferson if Obama Wanted Them in His Cabinet?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The twin spectacles of Republican lawmakers opposing one of their own for defense secretary and the conservative media slamming that nominee, Chuck Hagel, as a leftist, raises a thought-provoking question: What Obama nominee wouldn't the GOP oppose?
To get at the extremism that is exposed by such a question, let's broaden the scope of possible nominees. Imagine that, in the basement of the White House, President Obama had a machine that could let him travel to any time or dimension to recruit for his top positions in his administration. Then ask yourself: Would Republicans still oppose those all-star picks, even icons of their own party? The answers seem pretty clear:
11. Abraham Lincoln, R-Ill.
Billed as the founder of the modern Republican Party and yet also the political hero of Democratic President Obama, Lincoln seems at first glance to be a perfect consensus pick for any number of Cabinet slots in the Obama White House — especially because he would get a boost from the Beltway's all-powerful neoconservative think tanks that admire his record of suspending habeas corpus for accused enemies of the state.
However, a fierce lobbying campaign by financial interests, budget hawks and Southern GOP lawmakers would imperil his nomination from the get-go.
Bank lobbyists, for instance, would leak a series of stories about quotes attributed to Lincoln showing what they would depict as a dangerously radical streak in his economic politics. These include a letter in which he is ( inaccurately) said to have denounced the fact that "all wealth is aggregated in a few hands"; another letter in which he is alleged to have called bankers one of his two biggest enemies; and a speech in which historian Merill Peterson claims Lincoln had a "color of Marxism" in his thinking and ultimately became "the best friend labor ever had in the White House."
Republican budget cutters, meanwhile, would cite Lincoln's wartime spending on his era's version of stimulus — railroad infrastructure, science research, land grant colleges — to assert that he cannot be trusted to control the debt. And, of course, Republicans representing Confederate states along with ideologically aligned Libertarians would accuse Lincoln of disrespecting state sovereignty and pushing an unfunded federal mandate when he issued his Emancipation Proclamation.
10. Thomas Jefferson, D-Va.
The father of the Democratic Party, Jefferson's professed love of the common man and his Louisiana Purchase success in ripping off France could certainly give his Cabinet nomination an initial political boost with Republicans. That said, his nomination would be quickly doomed the moment GOP activist groups leaked this Jefferson quote to the press:
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
This would likely prompt a scathing Wall Street Journal editorial, and much hand-wringing from Wall Street-connected Democrats, ultimately resulting in calls for Jefferson to withdraw his nomination.
9. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.
Long credited with being the ideological inspiration of modern conservatism, former Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater would have much trouble negotiating a successful Cabinet nomination with today's Senate Republican Conference thanks to both his positions on GOP hot-button issues like gay marriage and abortion, and his late-in-life move to defend Democrats.
As the Washington Post reported in a 1994 article headlined "Barry Goldwater's Left Turn," the Arizona firebrand became "a gay rights activist" by "championing homosexuals serving in the military … work(ing) locally to stop businesses in Phoenix from hiring on the basis of sexual orientation (and) sign(ing) on as honorary co-chairman of a drive to pass a federal law preventing job discrimination against homosexuals."

Something about the enduring "boom" of last night's fireworks and the lingering taste of birthday cake in my mouth had me jumping out of bed to hit the slopes this morning. The ski area is officially 50 years old and has never felt better.
The overnight dusting of fresh snow added a gentle layer to the mountain that felt soft under my feet. The snow was a bit tacky but was easy enough to plow through. Tiny crystal flakes were falling from the sky this morning which gives me hope that more powder is on the way. Runs like High Noon to 2 O'clock were exhilarating and well groomed. Reaching out for a pole plant and feeling it easily sink to the basket reassured me that the top layer of snow was firm but forgiving. There's nothing better for practicing some gently sweeping turns than a cruise down some wide intermediate trails.
That big fireball in the sky began poking its head out around 9am and seems to be pushing back the looming cloud cover. But on the horizon I can see a dark line of ominous clouds that can only mean one thing... another giant dump. As far as current conditions go, some of my best runs of the day have been our groomed black diamonds. Both West Side and Rolex are silky smooth and steep which is perfect for those looking to introduce a little controlled speed into their lives. The sheer thrill of chilly air on my cheeks and wide open, sprawling terrain was enough to help me forget all about the Broncos playoff loss last night. Funny how fresh mountain air and stellar skiing can do that.
50th Anniversary Celebration festivities continue all week long so wax up those skis, shine up your board, tune up those snow blades, or grab your snow bike and come join us. Conditions are terrific and as the Beatles famously sang... "I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time."
Keep skiing Steamboat and we'll chat soon.

"As a community, we value being fat-adapted (using fats when we rest for energy), but the fact of the matter is that we burn a lot of carbs during our workouts. In a study by Carter, SL et al., 8 males and 8 females, fuel use during cycle ergometry was measured. They found that the women burn about 50% carbs during exercise and men burn about 75% (2). Despite our reliance upon carbohydrate, we don't actually eat extremely large amounts all the time"…(continue reading).

The NVV advocates on behalf of its members on all relevant issues.
Representing 99% of the production of all Napa Valley appellation wines, the NVV advocates on behalf of its members on all relevant issues and at all levels of government: local, state, federal and even internationally. Most of this work is conducted through the association's Community and Industry Issues Committee — a standing committee of interested and engaged vintners that have the best interests of the business, the land and the Napa Valley brand at heart.
Our goal is to focus on local issues that directly affect the wine industry. We will address state, national, and international issues only if interests are not being well served by another organization. The NVV works with other industry organizations when possible and we do not not dilute our efforts or influence by trying to work on every issue.
Some of the issues we are working on include:

Anaheim – Mobility 21 honored Assemblymember Tom Daly (D – Anaheim) as its "Public Sector Leader of the Year" at their 13th annual Mobility 21 Summit in Anaheim. More than 1,000 transportation leaders and elected officials were in attendance at the all-day summit at the Disneyland Hotel.
Daly, who serves as a member of the Assembly Transportation Committee, was the author last year of Assembly Bill 401, which provides new authority to regional transportation agencies, and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to utilize the design-build procurement method on transportation construction projects.
Assemblymember Tom Daly (D – Anaheim) will be withdrawing his measure, Assembly Bill 2712, prior to final consideration by the State Legislature, because the goals of the bill have been met. This decision comes after a groundbreaking agreement between the Orange County Water District and the Orange County Business Council to work together on crafting a new strategy for cleaning up contaminated groundwater in the county.
Daly's bill required the Water District to collaborate with the Business Council, as well as with other state and local water agencies, to establish a clear set of guidelines for cleanup of contaminated sites.
The California Transportation Commission recently approved $3.3 million in Active Transportation Program funding for six projects in the City of Santa Ana.
"Congratulations to the City of Santa Ana on securing this competitive grant funding. I applaud the City's effort to achieve a more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly community. These projects will result in improved safety and accessibility."
The City of Santa Ana has been awarded $1,030,800 grant to develop a half-acre park at Memory Lane and the Santa Ana River, adjacent to the Vista Del Rio Housing Project.
The grant was funded under the Housing Related Parks Program, a state grant program that funds the construction of new parks and recreation projects benefitting the community. Specifically, the program awards funding on a per-bedroom basis for residential units providing housing for very low to low-income households. A total of $25 million was available this funding cycle statewide.
"I congratulate the City of Santa Ana in securing this very competitive grant," said Assemblymember Tom Daly. "Santa Ana is a young, vibrant city with a growing population. I look forward to this exciting project and others that will bring much needed additional park space to the community."
The City plans to develop the undeveloped half-acre property to accommodate a bike rest area. The new park will feature drinking fountains, bike racks, equestrian hitching station, play equipment and shelter, exercise equipment, drought tolerant landscaping, river rock bio-swale, security lighting, decomposed granite walkway and other site amenities.
In his first term, Daly continues to make a strong impact.
Sacramento – Governor Brown recently signed a pair of bills by Assemblymember Tom Daly (D – Anaheim) into law. Daly has now successfully championed eight new laws in his first term.
Assembly Bill 1939 upholds important "prevailing wage" protections for workers. Specifically, the new law allows a contractor to recover wages for its workers when a developer fails to disclose that the project is subject to prevailing wage requirements.
Assembly Bill 2136 modernizes state law to reflect the growing use of technology (especially social media) in real estate transactions. The law exempts short-lived electronic messages from the requirement imposed on real estate brokers to retain specified records for three years from the date of the closing of a transaction.
Both bills will go into effect on January 1, 2015.
The 2013-14 legislative session concludes on August 31, 2014. All bills must be approved and sent to the Governor by that date for signature.

Santa Ana – Assemblyman Tom Daly, in partnership with the State Bar Association of California and the Orange County Labor Federation, hosted a Fraud Prevention Workshop in Santa Ana.
The workshop provided consumers with practical information and advice on how to avoid becoming victims of fraud. There were presentations in English and Spanish by the California Bureau of Real Estate, the California State Law Enforcement Association, the State Bar of California, the California Medical Board, and the California Department of Business Oversight.
"In this digital information age, it's more important than ever that consumers are protected from scams. This interactive fraud prevention workshop was a major success," says Assemblymember Daly.
To learn more about how to avoid scams, contact the District Office at (714) 939-8469.
Sacramento – The California Transportation Foundation (CTF) today honored Assemblymember Tom Daly (D – Anaheim) as its "Elected Official of the Year" for 2014.
Daly, who serves as a member of the Assembly Transportation Committee, was the author last year of Assembly Bill 401, which provides new authority to regional transportation agencies, and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to utilize the design-build procurement method on transportation construction projects.
SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Daly (D-Anaheim) released the following statement after a bipartisan vote on the Rainy Day Fund proposal:
"Today, I enthusiastically supported placing the Rainy Day Fund proposal on the November ballot. The Rainy Day Fund is a significant and responsible step toward ending the budget instability of the past. Building a genuine reserve is the right and prudent thing to do. Having a genuine reserve on-hand, in advance of future economic downtimes, will help California avoid drastic cuts to education and social programs, while also providing certainty to the job market."

UT Austin BSN
- 0Oct 26, '11 by hopefulprayers1Does anyone know about the app process and any kind of inside info about this program? Is anyone currently in this program or has completed it? How is/was it? How are the professors, clinicals, etc.? Is this program highly competitive? I'm looking for bsn programs and came across this one. I'm interested and just wanted more information for other students or graduates that have gone through this process. Thanks!
- 0Oct 31, '11 by UTprenurHey!! So I am a first year Pre-Nursing student at UT Austin. I'm in my first semester but I will be applying for the upper-division professional sequence in September. Basically I'll take classes in the winter break and summer and then be eligible to apply in September. The application process for the upper division is competitive as there are over 100 students applying for around 50 positions in the fall and 60-70 positions in the spring. They really look at GPA, volunteering experience, and your essay. The GPA is then divided up into the UT Overall GPA (which is all UT courses taken at UT), UT Science GPA (all science courses taken at UT), and you overall GPA. I have been told to keep at least a 3.3-3.5 GPA in order to keep competitive. Its sort of stressful in lower division, but from what I hear from upperclassmen, the upper division is really good... Hope this helps.
- 0Oct 31, '11 by hopefulprayers1oh ok, yes it does help a lot! Thanks for the info. Sucks that there's such a small number of positions open.
- 0bump!!!
- 0So is it safe to say that it'll be better if you completed your sciences and other courses there? I'm in San Antonio and planned on taking my prereqs at a community college to save money.
- 0Nov 20, '11 by UTprenurI think it kind of depends... The when your applying to the upper division, the committee takes into consideration whether or not you are an in-house applicant. I think they prefer in-house students to transfers but it won't be impossible. I really like the program here and next semester (second-semester first-year) I will be taking some sophomore nursing classes. If you are starting school right from high school with transferred hours (i.e. AP credit, Duel credit) it might be more beneficial to go ahead and come to Austin to start meeting the staff here and start networking for letters of recommendation and such... That is what I did and I have met a Maternity professor and an adult care professor. I have also met a LOT of upperclassmen and graduate students who have given advice on applying to upper division and who to take for what.... I will be applying for upper division professional sequence in Fall 2012 so I am trying to network like crazy so I can get great in-house letters of Rec...
On a side note... I don't know about other schools, but here at UT Austin School of Nursing, it is encouraged to start volunteering at a hospital or clinical setting early. This shows that you are committed to the profession and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to graduate. So if you decide to come to UT Austin, I would highly recommend applying to volunteer at one of the major hospital groups early as it can be a long process. I applied before the 15th of September to volunteer at UMC Brackenridge and I am just now starting to volunteer.. It is a long process but well worth the effort and the wait. You can find that application at seton.net and click on the Volunteer tab at the top of the home page.
Hope this helps and Hook'em!!
- 0If I'm a transfer do I have to complete the freshman course?
- 0Sorry I mean the first yr class
- 0Nov 20, '11 by UTprenurIt depends on the course... I think all freshmen or transfer students have to take an Undergraduate Studies Course (UGS), but I think that is the only in-house requirement... I might be wrong as I haven't really talked to many transfer students if any... you can go online to utexas.edu/nursing and find a lot of information. If you have a question about a specific course or something, I might be able to get an answer for you...
- 0Oh ok I took a forst year course but didn't do very well in it. I would hope the first yr is just for incoming freshman and not transfers. I'm thinking of applying to the prenursing for fall 2012 and seeing if I'm able to start the professional phase spring 2013.

Absolutely wonderful interview, thx Abby.
Yah. Noam Chomsky is so smart, he even thinks the official 9/11 story is true. If that's genius, I'll stick with stupid.
Why all the hate against Chmosky? He's professor Emeritus and what are y'all? Pathetic.
The psychopathic leadership of Earth has yet to learn how to control forces from certain planets.
As much as admire and enjoy your intellectual program and presentation, there are a minor objections
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
An d how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
"Racist" is a Hate word used by the Western anti-white Establishment to impose genocide on whites.

Oct. 23 --A watch maker that prevailed on a copyright infringement suit against a competitor was not entitled to a permanent injunction barring the defendant from using numerous watch designs because none of the equitable injunctive factors weighed in favor of granting such relief, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California ruled Oct. 21 (Brighton Collectibles, Inc. v. Pedre Watch Co., S.D. Cal., No. 3:11-cv-006370-AJB-WVG, 10/21/13).
The plaintiff argued that because the instant infringement action is the second time that the defendant has copied the plaintiff's design, a broad permanent injunction was warranted to prevent future instances of infringement. The court, however, noted that both in the instant case and in the previous action the defendant willingly pulled its challenged design from the market, and sales of the defendant's watches were limited in both instances. Moreover, "watch designs are a combination of common design elements," and "the requested injunction would not encourage innovation, instead it would stifle fair competition and in turn, impair the public interest," the court said.
In 1998, Brighton sent a cease-and-desist letter to Pedre Watch Company Inc., a New York-based watch manufacturer and importer. Brighton alerted Pedre that Pedre's Style 552L/J watch infringed Brighton's copyrighted design for its Daytona watch. At the time, Pedre claimed that it had received the Style 552L/J watch from Full Field Industrial Limited, a Hong Kong supplier.
After receiving the letter, Pedre voluntarily stopped selling the alledgedly infringing design. Brighton nonetheless filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Pedre. The parties settled the dispute, though Pedre never admitted to any wrongdoing.
In 2008, Pedre approached another Hong Kong supplier, Universe Watch Trading Co. Prior to purchasing a design, Pedre informed the supplier that it was not interested in purchasing any designs that resembled any of Brighton's watches. The supplier informed Pedre that the design selected, called the Cimarron design, had been made for a South American customer and was not being sold in the United States. Pedre consulted Brighton's website and confirmed that the Cimarron design was not similar to any watches currently being sold by Brighton. Pedre then purchased the design.
Pedre made a single sale of 287 Cimarron watches to a customer, retailer Coldwater Creek. Coldwater Creek in turn advertised the watches in its national catalogs and ultimately sold 181 of the watches.
Brighton contacted Coldwater Creek and alleged that the Cimarron watch infringed Brighton's Laguna watch design. Coldwater Creek informed Pedre of the allegations and Pedre repurchased and destroyed the remaining Cimarron watches.
Brighton then filed copyright infringement lawsuits against both Pedre and Coldwater Creek. The action against Coldwater Creek settled. The action against Pedre went to trial and a jury returned a verdict in favor of Brighton. However, the jury determined that the infringement was not willful and it thus ordered Pedre to pay Brighton just $16,719.50 in statutory damages. Brighton then moved for a permanent injunction that would bar Pedre from copying any of the designs that appeared in Brighton's catalog.
In this case, Brighton could not show that any of the equitable factors weighed in its favor, the court ruled.
With respect to the first factor, demonstration of irreparable injury, the court rejected Brighton's argument that the factor weighed in its favor due to the fact that Pedre has twice infringed Brighton's designs, which has resulted in costly litigation.
"First, the 'history' of litigation between the two parties is not as contentious as Plaintiff paints it to be," Judge Anthony J. Battaglia said. The court noted the 1998 case settled without an admission of liability. Additionally, the court noted that Brighton is not now selling the Laguna watch. Moreover, Pedre took steps to avoid infringing Brighton's designs, and it pulled the Cimarron watches as soon as it learned of Brighton's complaint, the court noted. Thus, there is no evidence of irreparable harm, the court said.
The court also determined that the balance of the hardships weighed heavily in Pedre's favor. The injunction that Brighton requested would preclude Pedre from using any of the designs found in Brighton's catalog. But, the court noted, "Plaintiff has not established that it owns copyrights to all of the watch designs featured." The court said:
It doesn't take a detailed survey of the watch display case in any department store to realize that many different manufacturers use common design elements. To order such broad injunction may effectively put Defendant out of business.
Brighton was represented by Keith J. Wesley of Browne George Ross LLP, Los Angeles. Pedre was represented by Robert Frank Helfing of Sedgwick Detert Moran and Arnold, Los Angeles.

Pregnant Spice Girl Mel B took her baby bump out for dinner last night!
Melanie, who announced she was pregnant with her third child last week, stepped out to dinner at Mr. Chow with her husband Stephen Belafonte on Monday -- where she showed off her growing belly in a flowy white gown.
The 35-year-old singer is reportedly due this summer -- and while they have three children between them from past relationships, this will be the couple's first child together.
My husband and I also had "his", "hers", but no "ours" when we got married. After eight years of marriage, we were finally blessed with "ours" to add to our family. I am happy for Mel B and her husband. She is glowing in the pictures. Congratulations!!
I love her and so happy for her but, since I dont' have any "hers" will like a dude without any "his". Just my own preference experiencing it the 1st time with someone else that hasn't either.
