Another war death hits home.
An Army sergeant from Spokane was killed along with four other 4th Infantry Division soldiers on Monday when a roadside bomb exploded, destroying their vehicle in Mosul, Iraq.
Sgt. James E. Craig, 26, was married in Spokane in July and deployed in December for his third tour in Iraq, according to his father, Joel Craig, of Cheney.
"He was a wonderful man who loved the Lord Jesus Christ with his whole heart," Craig said of his son. "He served his country with dignity and honor."
Jim Camden's blog is a must for political junkies. Check it out.
Yes, there's an unusual amount of snow, but so much that schools need to close for an entire week? So much that vulnerable people are reduced to being shut-ins? So much that commerce must grind to a veritable stop?
In today's editorial, we make the case that the current level of service in response to these snowstorms is unacceptable. Other cities can dig out much more quickly. Spokane shouldn't settle for less.
UPDATE: For those wondering where the mayor has been, she will be holding a press conference at 6 tonight at City Hall. I'd imagine local stations will go live with coverage.
Meanwhile, Gov. Gregoire flew into town and declared an emergency. Kootenai County has done the same.
The plan is simply election-year pork we'll all have to pay back, with interest, someday in the future. Therefore, I can't support it. It's thinly disguised income redistribution; tax the "rich" and give it to the middle and working class. While this is a noble sentiment, Congress should call it by its proper name, not an economic stimulus. But honesty in Washington may be too much to ask for, especially in an election year. — Steve Temple, Sandpoint
Judging by the majority of letters we've received, members of both sides of the aisle are dissatisfied with the bipartisan stimulus plan. Left: It doesn't give the money to people who really need it. Right: Rebates fuel a spending inferno and only permanent tax cuts will spur economic growth.
Where do you stand on the stimulus plan?
Travel can be broadening. It's also a good way to pick up ideas that work elsewhere, in Our View.
No more plastic bags? Ultra-clean vehicles? Imagine. But remember when it seemed beyond imagination that states would ban smoking in bars? Or make it illegal to drive without seat belts? In this era of federal government gridlock, it falls to cities and states to become laboratories for creative and landmark legislation.
Is there a good idea elsewhere that you wish were implemented here?
St. Vincent de Paul's Family Services to close due to financial difficulties
This is a huge blow to the city.
The service center, which provided food and other emergency services to 60,000 people a year at North Regal Street and Trent Avenue, will close Feb. 29, though the society will continue to provide services through various Catholic Parishes on a smaller scale, Cain said.
Clients will be referred to Second Harvest, the region's food warehouse and distribution center, and the Salvation Army, which also operates a food bank.
St. Vincent de Paul provided food to more people than any other agency in Eastern Washington, according to a statement released today. In the past, the center was staffed by four full-time and three part-time employees.
Yeah, I swiped that from weatherman Brian Albrecht.
So, last night on the drive home I became that other driver you need to look out for. I took my usual safe route up the South Hill, Cedar, which is a gradual climb. I usually turn left at 29th, but that road was so choppy and rutted coming into work, I continued along High Drive.
Things we're going smoothly until I reached the counterintuitive (he said, rationalizing) intersection at Grand. This is the one where the cars going straight yield to the ones turning left.
Except I didn't yield. Luckily the driver with right of way didn't trust me and stopped as I blew through the stop sign. So, be careful out there. You never know when a driver like me will be nearby.
So, what's on your mind this morning?

Three of the folks working hard on the updated Downtown Spokane Plan — Downtown Spokane Partnership President Marty Dickinson, Melissa Eadie, a Spokane city planner on loan to the updated plan process and Jeffrey Callahan Nave, a member of the DSP board, met with the editorial board this afternoon. The 1999 plan is being updated for the next five to 10 years.
The group is hoping for more citizen input at upcoming meetings and on its Downtown Spokane Web site here.
One issue that will require lots more discussion is the idea to tear out the skywalks so that downtown has a more pedestrian feel.
Listen to Dickinson explain the emotional ramifications of messing with the skywalks.
And another idea that will generate discussion is the idea of making downtown's one-way streets into two-way streets again. It happened on Post Street. Dickinson lists the advantages. Listen here.
There are dozens more ideas floating out there for the future of downtown, as the updated plan process moves forward.
Share some of your ideas with us.

This line in Sunday's Our View editorial has caused much consternation.
Lawmakers are considering two bills. The Senate version would mandate that districts use a specific formula for spending on libraries. The result would be more money for librarians, but Spokane Public Schools says that would come from current allocations.
Spokane parent Lisa Layera Brunkan says the bill was never intended to rob Peter to pay Paul. However, the Senate Bill report does have some wording that has caused confusion.
According to the office of state Sen. Tracey Eide (one of SB 6380's sponsors), new language will be forthcoming that makes it clear that this will be new funding on top of what districts already receive, which was always the intent.
Meanwhile, articles here and here show that this issue has resonated on a national level with librarians.
And here's an article that ran in the Los Angeles Times in December.
Governments had a spotty performance in dealing with the snow. That's too bad, because it was a chance to demonstrate the allure of alternative transportation, namely the bus.
Who is winning this war? Private contractors and Cheney's old company. We the people have invested almost $700 billion for war since 9/11. Do you feel a trillion dollars safer? I think our actions have fueled the hatred in the world, not abated it. And can we imagine what a trillion dollars invested in this country's infrastructure, education and health care would have accomplished? Can we urge and support our legislators in just saying no? — J. G. Sugg, Spokane
I watched most of the State of the Union last night. Though nothing the president said shocked or inspired me, I did find it interesting to watch Nancy Pelosi behind him and observe which members of his audience stood/applauded when. I wish I had caught the whole thing, but switching stations I saw the tail end of Sen. Obama's interview after the speech, in which he mentioned the constraint of who he was sitting next to. It must be a very narrow line to walk for him and for Sen. Clinton, whose post-speech interview I unfortunately missed completely.
One thing the left side of the aisle looked iffy on was war spending. They've got to maintain their image of "supporting the troops," but they made no bones about their continued opposition to the president's policy on Iraq.
What were your impressions of the speech (and the audience) last night?
In my Sunday column, I said most boomers have one of two regrets about their college years.
Those who partied too much wish they'd studied more.
Those who studied too much wish they'd partied more. Boomer U will make wishes come true.
So here's my question for boomers out there? What are your college regrets?

In Monday's editorial, we advocate legislation that would allow student journalists to deal with real-world First Amendment challenges.
We agree that there ought to be some boundaries — obsenity, libel, privacy — that adults must supervise, but censorship based on truths that cause discomfort is going too far.
Mr. Smart Bombs weighs in on the subprime lending mess and wonders whether the country will fall for the next too-good-to-be true trend in the economy?
What do you think?
UPDATE: A "recovering banker" named Richard Martens (see his blog here) sent me this YouTube link to a British skit on the subprime mess. It's funny. The subprime part kicks in at about the 3-minute mark.
"So you take this package of dodgy debt and call it a structured investment vehicle?"
One of our writers appears to have had an inkling about what was coming over the weekend:
Being a newcomer, I need to further my education about Northwest ways. I moved here from the Midwest, and I am accustomed to snow, cold weather and icy conditions. I find the lack of cleaning snow and ice from parking lots in Spokane unusual for a town of this size. I have witnessed people falling in parking lots, at bus stops and an EMS crew having difficulty transporting a patient by stretcher to the ambulance. People in wheelchairs or with mobility limitations are further impeded in accessing stores and professional buildings. (…)
Ordinances requiring businesses to clear parking lots and sidewalks of snow and ice are in place in other towns. The same goes for requiring homeowners to clear sidewalks in front of their homes for the safety of people walking. This newbie is wondering why we are not more concerned about this public safety issue. — Nancy A. Bartmess, Colbert
Question: Proportionally, how much should individuals, business owners and the city should be responsible for clearing snow after (and during) storms like we're seeing this week?

The snow has begun and is falling steadily enough to convince me the 2- to 4-inch prediction I heard is credible. Enough to drive me inside from an apple tree pruning chore I've been putting off. Got far enough into it to discover that today's trees are not nearly as climber-friendly as those I knew 40 or 50 years ago. So it's an inside day, just right for launching a blog discussion on whatever inspires you. Click on "Comments" and share your thoughts.
It's after 9 and today's Loose Thread is just now being posted. Round up your favorite topics, click on "Comments" and post away.
Ah, but which loose thread? The kind in which you can click on "comments" and start a blog conversation…or the British rock group?
Here's a loose thread you can pick at without fear of coming unraveled. Just click and post.
Clark County Republicans were so moved by a pass-around e-mail about Barack Obama they posted it on their Web site. It was then taken down.
Emails saying Obama is Muslim and doesn't recite the Pledge of Allegiance get passed around all the time. A lot political fiction does. I've been sent many things like this and asked why the media won't report them. One good site to check such items is snopes.com, a longstanding debunker of urban legends.
What stock do you put in such e-mails from family and friends? If the information is wrong, do you point it out or do you quietly delete the message and move on? What examples have you received?
As an American, I take great pride in the fact that a woman and a black man are potential candidates for the presidency of the United States. No matter what your political party..that has to be evidence of great change. Imagine what MLK JR would of thought of that just 40 years ago.
Friday's loose thread has generated a vigorous conversation about racism. Check it out. Join in if you feel so inspired.
Or, if you want to talk about other topics, here's your chance. Click on the comments link and post away.
Friday's editorial cheers the idea behind a bill in the Legislature to prevent government agencies from using the threat of lawsuits to chill citizen oversight.
Yesterday at work, I was introduced to a variation of this scam. But instead of getting a postcard warning me that my car warranty was about to expire, I got an automated phone call telling me the same and that the consequences would be dire.
To act, I needed to press 1. So I did. A woman comes on the line to ask how she can help. Knowing my warranty was nowhere near expiration, I ask her who she worked for. She mumbled "dealerships." I asked which ones. She said "various ones like Honda."
I told her my warranty was not nearing expiration. She said, "Oh, well, we just want to give you a quote on extending it just in case it was."
I hung up. It's pretty clever, because in pressing "1", I couldn't tell what number I was calling. Apparently, it's some oufit out of Florida and that they like to prey on seniors in particular by scaring them. So slimy. I was telling a friend about this and she got the call at work, too.
Have you?
Our editorial today begins:
Are you having a pleasant day? Got enough sleep? Coffee's especially soothing? The kids got off to school with minimal mayhem? Well, here's one way to ruin it: Visit one of those online cost-of-college calculators and figure out how much it's going to set you back when the kids are ready to enroll.
For your fifth-grader, let's say you have your eye on an in-state, four-year public university that currently charges about $6,000 a year, such as the University of Washington. You'll need about $46,000 and that covers only tuition. Let's say your child's interests would take her to an out-of-state public university that currently charges $20,000 a year. Now, you're looking at … gulp! … more than $150,000. Add tens of thousands of dollars more for private schools.
During our edit board meetings this week, as we discussed this topic, we all reminisced how relatively inexpensive our educations were in the older days.
So it's your turn to reminisce: How much did you pay?
About this Obama thing: It reminds me of when women were fainting and squealing over Elvis and every time Frank Sinatra would sing. I don't think the people are thinking about the welfare of the country. (…)
Politics is a dirty business and Obama is too nice. Like Carter, he will find it is easier to say you will make changes than to really do it. We will have eight years of a man you liked. Maybe we need someone tough and not liked as much. Everyone has vilified Hillary for years, never talking about the good things that she has done. But if an Obama is what people want, that will finish our country down the drain. — Frances L. Shank, Chewelah, Wash.

Do you think likeability and the appropriate toughness are mutually exclusive in a candidate?
The roads are pretty bare.
Be careful out there.
Here's a laugh track for your ride home.
We had a fascinating interview this afternoon with Scott Morris, chairman, president and CEO of Avista.
I found two things particularly interesting. One is Avista's subsidiary Advantage IQ which pays energy bills for large chains, such as Starbucks. It's one of their growing success stories. The idea for it came out of employee brainstorming and it took about 10 years to finally turn a profit.
Listen to Morris' explanation of the subsidiary.
Also, when I grew up here you felt like you'd have a good job for life if you could get on with "the water power." (Avista's former name was Washington Water Power.) Anyway, Morris pointed out that the company still employs many homegrowns. He sees this as a strength, because employees who grew up here understand the community from the ground up.

"Even if you don't have health insurance, you are still taken care of in America. That certainly could be defined as universal coverage." — Former HHS Director Tommy Thompson in 2004, explaining why it was OK to spend $1 billion in Iraq toward the goal of universal coverage when we don't have that in this country.
"The immediate goal is to make sure there are more people on private insurance plans. I mean, people have access to health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room." — President Bush, last July in Cleveland.
Yeah, good thing we have those ERs, which are increasingly unable to immediately care for patients who are having heart attacks.
Imagine a loved one who is having a heart attack having to wait 20 minutes for care. Why do we put up with this?
The free enterprise system says close the ERs down. So, should we just leave it at that?
I just don't understand why anyone would have a problem with the primary election. The main purpose of a primary is for each party to select their candidates for the general election. It isn't proper for people to cross over and influence the selection. People can vote for whomever they want, no matter what party, in the general election in November. — Marilyn Moore, Spokane
Idaho Republicans would like to close their primaries to prevent Democrats from "influencing" their choice of candidate. To me, primary elections represent the utmost confusion of purpose. Why are they done the way they are? Are they a government concern or a party concern? Should it or shouldn't it all come down to who's paying for them?
Did any opinions blow into your brains as the wind blew, whistled and roared through the Inland Northwest night?
Blog lines are officially open, unless the wind blows them shut.

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that mental illness touches 1 in 4 people, but this figure takes into account milder forms of so-called mental illness. In our editorial today, we went with the statistics on serious mental illness which afflicts 1 in 17 people.
Doug was skeptical about the 1 in 4 figure, but I am not, because almost every person I know well has at least one story of mental illness in the family, ranging from mild social anxiety to schizophrenia. Our differing views prompted a good editorial board discussion last Wednesday.
Now, it's your turn to weigh in. Does 1 in 4 sound realistic to you? Blog lines are open.
Excerpt from edit:
In two Inland Northwest families, the hopes of parents ended in public tragedies. At 1 p.m. today at Spokane Valley Baptist Church, family and community members will honor former Spokane resident Mark Williams. He was a well-known musician and composer who moved to Bellingham partly to be closer to his 24-year-old son, Brian Williams. Brian, who suffers from schizophrenia, is accused of stabbing his father to death Jan. 3.
"My brother gave his life trying to help his son become well," Mark's brother, Grant Williams, told The Spokesman-Review.
And in a Spokane courtroom this week, Bryan Patrick Kim is being tried on aggravated first-degree murder charges. His parents, Richard and Terri Kim, were killed more than a year ago. Kim, 19, has a bipolar disorder.
You know the drill….
Safe and happy weekend.
( In this S-R file photo, Pratt Elementary students walk to school.)
Our editorial today gave kudos to a Spokane Regional Health District plan to raise walking awareness and activity.
In this snowy weather, some like to reminisce about walking to school each day in knee-deep snow. Believe at least part of these stories. In 1969, half of the country's students walked or rode bicycles to school, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Now, fewer than 15 percent do.
The Spokane Regional Health District would like to get children back in the habit of walking to school. It's part of an initiative to get the whole county walking for health. We're a chubby group. Six out of 10 Spokane County residents are overweight. North Idaho residents share the problem; 62 percent of them are at overweight or obese.
We're in nostalgia mode this week at AMOO, so nostalgia away and tell us some walking-to-school tales.
Good morning!
What's rattling around your brains this winter-thaw day?
Blog lines are open.
I'm having a difficult time finding cartoons that don't feature Hillary Clinton. There are several candidates still in the presidential race (on both sides), but the undeniable fixation — and it is largely negative — is on Clinton. One cartoon is so brutal (complete with PMS reference), that I'm not going to use it.
Because of this, I'm finding it hard to strike any kind of balance with cartoons. Are the other candidates really so hard to caricature? Not for me, but I can't draw.
What is it about her that draws so much attention?
We forgot to give you a loose thread today, so we'll end the day with it instead.
What's on your mind?
I might be in the minority, but I'm loving the big snows of the last few days. It's good for the environment, especially the Spokane River, but it's also been a great nostalgia boost.
Spokane folks who were around in the winter of 1968-1969 remember the big snow season we had that year. When we long-timers get together and weather comes up, we reminisce, especially about all the snow days. I was in eighth grade at St. Charles School and remember looking out the window in March and wondering when all the snow would finally melt.
A few years ago, Mike Prager, our S-R weather guru, wrote about that big snow:
That year, as fall changed to winter, the weather brought nothing more than a mix of rain and snow through Christmas.
Then, a windstorm ushered in arctic air. A low of 25 degrees below zero on Dec. 30 was followed by an 8-inch snowstorm that didn't stop until New Year's Day.
Maybe it was nature's warning.
Measurable snow fell in January on 20 of the 31 days. A six-day stretch of snow early in the month was followed by another arctic freeze down to 19 degrees below zero.
The last week of January was the worst. It snowed every day from the 25th through the 31st, and morning lows dipped below zero on four of the days.
February brought relief, but single-digit cold returned in March. Winter finally said goodbye with a half-inch dusting on April 29.
So any other old-timers out there have Big Snow memories to share. Blog lines are open.
(S-R file photo from 1969)
It's snowing out there. More snow is expected.
I see this snow and feel grateful that the snow pack might be OK this year. So much depends on it. So let it snow, but be careful out there.
Update: Lynn and I, without knowing, both did Drives at 5. Great minds think alike? I'd be honored, Lynn's a bright one, for sure.
Enjoy all your drives this snowy evening. Better yet, get home and stay home.
In our editorial today, we looked positively on ordinances that will prohibit the selling, giving away or bartering of animals on public space.
In the 1989 Michael Moore documentary "Roger & Me," a woman sells her rabbits for "pets or meat." She shows Moore how she clubs to death the cuddly bunnies, unless a person buys them to keep as pets. Moore focuses on the pets-or-meat woman to tell the story of desperation in Flint, Mich., a community impoverished by the auto industry's ups and downs.
The people who stand in retail store parking lots and on street corners selling puppies and giving away kittens tell a story, too, about Spokane. It's a story that animal advocates hope is changing with enactment of an ordinance making it illegal to sell, give or barter away animals in public spaces anywhere in Spokane County.
So a question: Have you ever purchased a puppy or kitten in front of a grocery store or another public-like space? And how did the pet work out for you?
Blog lines are open.

Dave Oliveria has an interesting question over at Huckleberries Online. What's the lowest wage you worked for?
For me, it was $1.50 an hour. I was 14.
This graphic shows the buying power of a minimum wage salary through the years. The high point was $1.60 an hour in 1968. Check the graphic to see if your lowest wage translates to something that is better than today's minimum wage, which is:
* $8.07 an hour in Washington state.
* $5.85 in Idaho, which is the same as the federal rate.
That $1.60 in 1968 is equivalent to $9.47 today. You can use this calculator to adjust your lowest salary for inflation.
My $1.50 translates to $8.15 today. So at age 14, I was making more than an adult does with the minimum wage in Washington by 8 cents an hour and by over 2 bucks an hour in Idaho.
Politics is not mentioned in this article, yet here we are discussing it every day. Are we masochists?
Anyway, this article has a lot of data on the distribution of wealth and the correlation between that and happiness. It also mentions other things that make people happy and miserable.
Among the things psychologists say won't make you happy in the long run are material possessions in general (we get bored with them, and they require maintenance), luxury items (every car goes the speed limit, every watch tells time), long commutes, wealthy friends or neighbors (you'll be envious), complicated lives, bad marriages and, on a day-to-day basis, kids (they're a lot of work) or one's spouse (great for security, but not all that entertaining).
What will make us happy, shrinks contend, is simply aging: people tend to be most unhappy in their late 30s (often the peak of juggling career and children), then happier the older they get, on into retirement. Other things that work are good health, security (a home, job and retirement fund), independence, a good marriage, an interesting job, free time, having children (they're good over the long run even if they do drive you crazy), friends and family, a challenge or sense of purpose, and interesting experiences like a vacation that can be remembered.
What makes you happy?
I'll be packing away Christmas decorations today, a task undemanding enough to give my mind the opportunity to drift. Care to offer some fodder for consideration? Click below to comment, and see what you can weave from today's loose thread.
You have a choice. You can tell us how impressed you were by the thrashing Oregon gave the University of Southern Florida in the Sun Bowl, or…

Hello, Opinion readers! I am back for less than an hour after the holidays and have already taken three calls inquiring whether we are not going to be printing letters any longer.
We don't usually print letters on Mondays, but this week our skeletal holiday production schedule also gave us only one Opinion page on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Have no fear! Tomorrow (the first day this year we'll have our usual two editorial pages) the letters will return in full force. Thank you for your patience, and happy new year to all.
Walking down Lincoln early yesterday afternoon, I heard from behind me the distinctive crunch-crunch sound of a chain-reaction collision. As I wheeled around I saw the driver of the third and final car in the sequence of rear-enders jump out of his door and race around behind his vehicle. Reaching the rear, right door, he jerked it open and bent inside to check on what appeared to be about a 2-year-old child who was secured in a car seat.
I'm an ancient who's been known to scoff at excessive regulation in our lives and has been heard to say that in my day a "child-restraint system" meant my father's spring-loaded right arm.
While yesterday's accident will be a headache for all involved and there will be expenses for repairs, it appeared that all the people — including this child — were OK. If it weren't for that carseat, though, I'll bet the outcome would have been much worse.
I think it's fair to say that the long reach of the regulatory arm serves a valid purpose.

Juhl Wind Inc. Announces Update On Share Repurchase Plan
WOODSTOCK, Minn., April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Juhl Wind Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced that its board of directors recently approved an extension of the Company's common stock repurchase plan. The size, scope and timing of any purchases will be in accordance with the rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the safe harbor rules of Section 10b-18 of the Act and further shall be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, regulatory and contractual requirements or consents and capital availability.
The share repurchase program is intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or block trades, or by any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations of rules 10b5-1 and the safe harbor rules of 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The board approved an increased allocation for the plan to $250,000 for this repurchase plan and will consider modifications to the plan from time to time as market conditions warrant.
"We've seen a significant improvement in our balance sheet recently as we wrap up work on some very large wind farm projects, which has afforded us the opportunity to continue and expand this repurchase plan," stated John Mitola, President of Juhl Wind. "We felt strongly, in light of the current pricing for our common stock, that the time was right for us to extend our stock repurchase plan given our growing confidence in the strength of our business and the availability of our balance sheet capital."
The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion without prior notice. The Rule 10b5-1 plan allows the Company to execute trades during periods when it would ordinarily not be permitted to do so because it may be in possession of material non-public information, because of insider trading laws or due to self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker chosen by the Company will have the authority, under the prices, terms and limitations set forth in the Rule 10b5-1 plan, including compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Act, to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf. Because the repurchases under the Rule 10b5-1 plan will be triggered by certain share prices, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the Rule 10b5-1 plan, or that there will be any repurchases at all pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 plan.

Why Pandora Missed a Beat as SiriusXM Surged
In contrast, Pandora shares fell nearly 20% in after-hours trading on Monday, after the company beat third quarter earnings estimates, but cut its full year guidance sharply as a result of content costs and ad market headwinds.
The Oakland, California company said it's 2012 loss will be between 9 cents to 12 cents a share, nearly doubling previous estimates detailed in August. Pandora also cut its sales outlook to $422 million to $425 million from as much as $432 million, forecasted earlier in the year.
While subscribers grew 85% in the quarter and mobile ad sales rose over 100, those figures weren't enough to offset content costs. Royalties paid to music labels now represent 55% of the company's revenue and continue to hinder Pandora's overall profitability. Royalty costs and uncertain ad revenue create an uncertain financial piscture for the company headed into 2013.
Yesterday's earnings didn't help. BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield took to Twitter to complain that Pandora wouldn't take analyst questions on its conference call Monday evening. "Pandora management chooses not to take our questions on their quarterly earnings call," wrote Greenfield on Twitter. He characterized the lack of a Q&A as 'frustrating.""

Research Square Makes Inc. Magazine's Exclusive List Of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies For Second Consecutive Year
DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine has ranked Research Square #1779 on its seventh annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. Research Square is 54 th out of the top 100 companies based in North Carolina, and 25 th amongst U.S. education companies.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130908/CL75876LOGO )
"We are honored to make the Inc. 5000 list for a second year," says Research Square founder Shashi Mudunuri. "We have a deep pool of talented people dedicated to helping as many global researchers publish their work as possible. We expect to expand and change for years to come as we continue to provide innovative publishing solutions for scientists around the world."
In a stagnant economic environment, median growth rate of 2013 Inc. 500|5000 companies is an impressive 142 percent. Research Square's 3-year growth rate is 216%, with 81 jobs added. The companies on this year's list report having created over 520,000 jobs in the past three years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $241 billion. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.The 2013 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2009 to 2012. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2012. "Not all the companies in the Inc. 500|5000 are in glamorous industries, but in their fields they are as famous as household name companies simply by virtue of being great at what they do. They are the hidden champions of job growth and innovation, the real muscle of the American economy," says Inc. Editor Eric Schurenberg.

B & D Automotive and RV Repair
Centrally located in the Alabama gulf region, B & D brings decades of trustworthy and fair priced service to Robertsdale, Alabama. Within 20 minutes of Mobile, Alabama and the Gulf Shore region, 40 minutes from Pensacola.
We were on our way to Florida in our Newell Coach and had reservations at Bella Terra RV Resort in Foley, Alabama. We noticed that we were having some serious brake trouble and needed to find someone who had the knowledge to repair brakes in a Newell. To our good fortune, we stopped at B&D Automotive in Robertsdale, Alabama. Wow, what a great place and nice people. Owners Bruce and Dona Lauser could not have been more accommodating. Not only did they repair our coach at a very fair price, but they also allowed us to park our coach and trailer on a concrete pad with full hookups while Bruce completed the entire brake job.
We can't say enough about them! If you are ever in need of help just off Interstate 10, exit 44, find these people. You'll be glad you did. Ron & Becky Bacon, Osage Beach, Missouri

Welcome to Chicago Classics!
Our Department
The faculty of the Classics department work in literature, linguistics, history, archaeology, and philosophy. We are developing innovative approaches to the study of Greco-Roman antiquity through our collaborative work with scholars in a wide variety of fields. We belong to international research networks and we teach, publish, and host workshops and conferences with colleagues from Art History, the Committee on Social Thought, Comparative Literature, the Divinity School, English, Germanic Studies, History, the Law School, Linguistics, the Oriental Institute, Philosophy, Political Science, Romance Languages, and Theater and Performance Studies.
In keeping with the wide ranging research agendas of our faculty, the culture of Classics at the University of Chicago is pluralistic, and the Department offers four different Ph.D. programs, each of which fosters a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to the study of Greco-Roman antiquity: Classical Languages and Literatures, the Ancient Mediterranean World, Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy, and the joint Ph.D. in Classics and Social Thought. More information about each of these programs can be found in the program descriptions.

Our first visitor will be Brooke Holmes of Princeton University in the fall of 2014 for a series of lectures on the concept of sympathy in Greco-Roman antiquity. Our second visitor will be Tim Whitmarsh of Oxford University in the fall of 2015. All the lectures will be available online in a dedicated video archive.

The text says that despite the important help from the various delegations regarding the inclusion of a specific reference to the Christian or Judeo Christian heritage of Europe, "there is no sign of a consensus in this area.".- The Irish Presidency of the European Union has issued a statement of the heads of State and government of the 25 member countries in which no mention of Christianity is made in the preamble of the future EU Constitution.
The draft of the preamble of the EU Constitution simply underscores—without mentioning Christianity—the "cultural, religions and humanistic heritage of Europe," from which the universal values of inalienable and inviolable human rights, democracy, equality, freedom and the law-abiding State have developed.
The text says the countries of the EU show their conviction that the peoples of Europe, while they are proud of their own national identities and histories, are resolved to overcome the old divisions and are increasingly more united in forging a common destiny.
The final decision on the text will be made by the heads of State in the next EU meeting which will take place in Brussels June 17-18. The Czech Republic, Portugal, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and Poland all supported a reference to the Christian heritage of Europe.

Mammals & Reptiles
Because of the sparse vegetation, game viewing in Karoo National Park is easily facilitated. Best viewing is achieved on the 13km "Lammertjiesleegte" Route on the plains.
Large herbivores such as red hartebeest, eland, the two zebra species, kudu and springbok are all regularly seen. Klipspringer are regularly seen on the pass of the same name. Other species are less obvious due to smaller size, nocturnal habits or restriction to the wilderness areas of the park.

About This Project
My first project!!! The house we live in has 4 closets in the entire house.. so we're quite in need of storage. I was really hoping the bookcase would work out, to relieve the jam-packed linen closet. I'm so happy with it, and with the learning experience. I didn't do the moulding option, more or less because I'm impatient and want to get the next project going. Thanks Ana for the inspiration and the plans!!
Required Skill Level:
Estimated Time Investment:
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used:
White paint
Estimated Cost:
$75 (I think I could reduce that cost if I chose wood that wasn't nicely finished already)

Sony's chief executive was quoted in a German newspaper on Wednesday as saying that the company's joint venture with cell phone maker Ericsson must do better, Reuters reports.
"It's certainly been a difficult year but buying out a partner is never an easy thing," CEO Howard Stringer said in Die Welt in response to a question on whether or not the companies could go their separate ways.
"We have to work together again as we did two years ago. Or the joint venture will have to find its own solution," Stringer said.
Sony Ericsson isn't doing well in the U.S. at all, although it fares much better overseas. Recently Sony finally added T-Mobile as a carrier partner, after years of staying exclusive with AT&T—an obvious move given how the company's GSM handsets work with virtually no modification on either network.

Movie Description
John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China is an unlikely blend of Eastern mysticism, Kung Fu action, and old fashioned ol' Western bravado, all combining into a purposely ridiculous mid-1980s romp. Trucker Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) gets unwittingly caught in a mystical battle to undo a centuries-old curse, and all he did was drive his friend Wang (Dennis Dun) to the airport. The two were supposed to meet Wang's fiance (Kim Cattrall). Instead, henchmen of a bodiless Chinese sorcerer, Lo Pan, kidnap her. If Lo Pan marries Wang's green-eyed bride-to-be, he can resume his human form. Burton approaches the confrontation with John Wayne-style swagger as he and Wang bumble through an increasingly complex conspiracy with help from an odd set of allies.

In this remake of a 2010 Urugayan film, Sarah (Olsen) and her family arrive at a lakeside property where her terrifying memories become confused with the equally frightening present. Olsen, an actress of great potential, is wasted in this ponderously slow attempt at a psychological drama that's packaged as horror.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities said one juvenile was recovered and four pimps were arrested in Minnesota as the result of a three-day, nation-wide prostitution sting conducted by the FBI.
The sting, called Operation Cross Country VII, addressed commercial child sex trafficking in as many as 76 cities across 46 divisions of the FBI. The sting led to the recovery of more than 100 children and the arrest of 150 pimps on state and federal charges.
In Minnesota, the Minneapolis division of the FBI arrested four pimps and recovered one juvenile. The names of those arrested have not been released. The most successful city in the sting was Detroit, which recovered 10 juveniles and netted 18 arrests.

Controller: California state revenues up $4.3B
Updated On: Feb 08 2013 02:01:50 PM PST
California State Controller John Chiang announced Friday that state revenues for the month of January were up nearly 40 percent.
Total revenues for January were $4.3 billion above projections made in Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed 2013-14 budget, the controller's office said in a news release.
"Last month's revenues were by far the highest that California has seen in any January for the past decade," Chiang said.
The state controller said an increase in vehicles sales, rising homes values and more construction all contributed to the boost.
"It signals that California may be entering an era where we can govern outside of crisis," Chiang said.
Personal income taxes came in $4.8 billion above monthly estimates contained in the governor's proposal. Corporate taxes came in $11.4 million above, but sales tax receipts came in $582.7 million below projections.
The state ended the last fiscal year with a cash deficit of $9.6 billion.

If you have the center council shifter, there is a lock over ride button inside the body of the council. It's located on the right hand side of the shifter and about the location of where the shifter is in Neutral. You can ge to it with a small screw driver and push it in. With the button pushed in, you can shift. There is a wire that connects the shifter to the braking system that may be broke. Very tight tolerence.

Sarah Jessica Parker showed up at the London premier of the Sex and the City movie in an eccentric flower hat and an outfit typical of the over-the-top fashion choices worn by her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw.
The vibrant, very quirky hat perched on her head dominated her petite frame, and even after the event wrapped up, the bizarre bonnet didn't stop hogging the lime light.
You know you've succeeded in making a fashion statement when, only mere hours later, photos of you in your outfit have made it around the world and then just days later, your ensemble has been forever immortalized as a caricature.
No wonder SJP makes fashion waves! She's known for setting trends, but do extremes like this hat and her gigantic flower really have the possibility of taking off?

Interview: At Least 15 Dead After Israel Attacks Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla
Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza strip. Dubbed the Freedom Flotilla, the ships were aiming to break Israel's 3-year blockade of Gaza. At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured when Israeli troops attacked the lead ship in the convoy–the Turkish "Mavi Marmara"–early Monday morning. The attack happened in international waters, 75 miles off the coast of Israel and Gaza. We reached Adam Shapiro in New York a few hours after the attack. He's a board member of the Free Gaza movement, one of the groups that coordinated the Freedom Flotilla. His wife Huwaida Arraf is the chairperson of the Free Gaza movement and is on the flotilla.

"Sweet as you like! Cream and almonds!" (eh?) as someone left the Montreal pits after a particularly quick stop…12th June 2011, 22:53 at 10:53 pm #171071
Best Driver: Button
Worst Driver: Hamilton
Best Team: er, no-one stood out…Hispania! Good result for them.
Worst Team: Ferrari. Couldn't keep up with leaders; seemed to get caught on wrong tyres; silly mistakes from both drivers
Best Overtake: Schumacher on Kobayashi and Massa
Best Funny-moment: nervous laughter, rather than LOL, at the marshal falling over while picking the bits of Heidfeld's wing up
Most Surprising Result: Button, awesome speed late in the race
Least Surprising Result: early bath for Hamilton – becoming a bit predictable…
Special Mention to: Schumacher for a great fighting drive without the car advantage.
Race Rating: 8/10. Would've been higher but too much health & safety.
Best BBC commentator/presenter: Brundle, another great job filling a long wait entertainingly.
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Eddie Jordan, more irrelevant rants than ever.
Best Commentary moment: Coulthard on about the cameraman falling over in front of Rihanna, "trying to get a cheap shot"… and Brundle "almonds and cream!" (eh?)

Did they have pit stops for tyres in 1976 & 77? Are there any videos of a six-wheeled Tyrrell one? Surely there was at least one wet/dry race?29th March 2011, 21:11 at 9:11 pm #157575
Brawn stood for something, a proper underdog winner. Particularly liked the Canon logos in Singapore, a nice throwback to the Williams days. I've tried to like the Mercedes but i can't, despite nice touches like the retro numbers. Like Jaguar it's a bit of a cynical exercise in reflected glory I guess. This year's Merc's an attractive shape (before it gets hit) though.
Favourites? The Lotus in 1978 and 1986, Jordan 191 and '95 Ferrari.27th March 2011, 22:15 at 10:15 pm #165182
At Sepang there's plenty of overtaking already on those two straights. Why not have the DRS area somewhere else? Maybe the straight leading into the slow left out the back of the circuit (after the fast double right-hander) if it's long enough.27th March 2011, 12:53 at 12:53 pm #165139
Best Driver: Petrov. Amazing start and kept his head.
Worst Driver: Barrichello. Fought a losing battle with turn 3 all weekend. Insane assault on Rosberg, shame as the Williams looked quick.
Best Team: Red Bull. Let the KERS non-story develop nicely!
Worst Team: Hispania, how long do they need to get ready?!
Best Overtake: none stood out but Alonso made some good ones early on.
Best Funny-moment: Coulthard vs Jordan: DC pointing out there weren't any cars in the Red Bull garage
Most Surprising Result: Petrov 11 places ahead of Heidfeld
Least Surprising Result: Vettel winning
Special Mention to: Perez
Race Rating: 7/10
Best BBC commentator/presenter: Well impressed with Brundle but gonna give this to David Coulthard on his birthday. Sharp-eyed and more insightful than I expected, did a fine job winding Eddie Jordan up, and handled his 40th celebrations on live TV well.
Worst BBC commentator/presenter: Eddie Jordan
Best Commentary moment: Between 99% and 100%, how much was that Barrichello's fault?
Overall BBC coverage rating: 8/1026th March 2011, 16:20 at 4:20 pm #165034
The beauty of the DRS is we can all see when it's working, not just when it's an onboard shot with a TV caption. I too would like to see it available throughout the race, so drivers are free to do stupid things with it like Sutil… but I guess we should see how much it aids overtaking first.
I wonder how much the sponsors like it, as their name keeps disappearing off the rear wing…26th March 2011, 12:32 at 12:32 pm #164961
Nope, I had him down for a low 24…
These Pirellis must be really grippy (while they last), as in theory the cars have lost downforce with the new diffusers.
Anyone know if they're much faster down the straight with the adjustable wings?26th March 2011, 12:27 at 12:27 pm #164918
Really good – loads of enthusiasm, as inventive and insightful as ever, never patronising or cliched. And two mates (rather than "co-workers") always works better.
Encouraging too that Martin Brundle's never satisfied – "Need to sharpen up some aspects", he says on Twitter, so he should get better and better.
Bit of a wobbly introduction for me before the action got under way – the words were fine, just need to work on delivery. Jonathan Legard was always good at this bit, that's the benefit of experience, I guess.
Nice one David Coulthard for explaining the "delta time" display on the steering wheels! Didn't know that. We can see straight away if a guy's up (-) or down (+) on his best lap time.

10 Showcases That Shouldn't Be Missed at Decibel 2013
The 2013 edition of Seattle's Decibel Festival has been 10 years in the making. Beginning in 2004 as a gathering inspired by events such as Movement in Detroit and MUTEK in Montreal, the still-grassroots-fueled Decibel Festival has become the West Coast's most dependable annual gathering for emerging and forward-thinking electronic music. This year's edition marks Decibel's 10th anniversary, and organizers have again assembled an impressive array of international acts to fill the festival's five-day run. With that in mind, XLR8R has considered the plethora of options that Decibel has to offer and put together what we suspect will make for the 10 best bets this weekend in Seattle. … Read more »

Jerry Gold Veazey
NONE OF THE VICTIMS in an identity theft scheme in Madison County appear to have lost any money, and it is unclear how the suspect or suspects plan to benefit from the fraud, law enforcement said.
A strange, widespread case of identity theft has hit various counties in Mississippi, with the latest string of scams affecting residents of Madison, Ridgeland and Madison County.
Over the past two months, Madison police have fielded at least 81 separate complaints of identity theft.
