A look at North Korea's limited internet capabilitiesDecember 23, 2014 11:07 am | by Tong-Hyun Kim and Youkyung Lee - Associated Press | News | Comments
An hours-long Internet outage Tuesday in one of the world's least-wired countries was probably more inconvenient to foreigners than to North Korean residents, most of whom have never gone online. Even for wired Koreans south of the heavily armed border separating the rivals, the temporary outage made little difference - southerners are banned by law from accessing North Korean websites.

The Space
Small traditional two-bedroom cottage in rural Donegal. Rooms: two bedrooms (double and small single), kitchen/sitting area, hall/utility, toilet/shower-room. Facilities include electric shower, fridge, oven, stove, microwave, washing machine, dryer. 65 euro per night, minimum of two nights; 300 euro per week.
A car is recommended but not essential.
Price includes, towels, linen, fuel for stove and storage heating.
This is a beautiful area for walking. The place is unique in its rural location and vistas. It is particularly popular with walkers, artists and writers. Nearby we also own a small lake which stock brown trout.
The nearest shops are a 35 min walk. The nearest pub is a short walk (20 min). It also has an indian restaurant attached!
There is no public transport - we can provide a bicycle if needed!
First experience of Airbnb couldn't have gone better. The cottage was very warm and cosy and we were given a full tour when we arrived. It was very clean and tidy and supplied with everything we could need. The peace and quiet and a star filled sky at night made it the perfect place to rest and relax for the weekend. Enjoyed the scenery and surfing the local breaks.
We were given fresh eggs on Sunday morning which we enjoyed very much :) Fiona and Seamus were super friendly and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
After a long travel day, we were delighted to arrive at the scenic cottage of Fiona & Seamus, out in the rich, rain-drenched countryside. We were surrounded by sheep & cows & Shetland ponies, kelly-green hills, and a backdrop of the raw rock mountains of Glenveagh National Park. Fiona greeted us warmly, invited us to pilfer through her impressive greenhouse if we wanted to cook, and brought a small bowl filled with eggs from her chickens. The guesthouse was clean and tidy and very well-appointed. Our hosts were congenial and helpful . We would recommend this place to anyone traveling nearby as a restful spot in a landscape resembling a scene from a movie.
Very nice welcome at our arrival. Fiona and Seamus are very nice and helpful. Delicious fresh eggs everyday! The house is lovely and well furnished with a fire place. The landscape around is wonderful. The best place if you like nature . It is exactly what we were looking for .
Driving down the one track road lead us to Fiona and Seamus's lovely cottage. Saying hello to both Seamus and the chickens on arrival we admired the beautiful view of Errigal and soaked up the peace and quiet. The cottage itself had all the space we needed along with a great little kitchen to rustle up breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dishwasher and washing machine/dryer was very helpful too. On our last day we were greeted with fresh eggs from the chickens which has convinced us to get chickens of our own. Fiona and Seamus were great hosts and we would recommend a stay at this peaceful little place to anyone.
Dolores and I had a lovely time in the cottage. Fiona and Seamus were good hosts. They supplied us with Prosecco on arrival; fresh eggs; wood for the stove; and local directions. The cottage was perfect for our needs and faces south to Mount Errigal and is approximately equidistant to Gortahork and Falcarragh in a lovely location. The local Pub and Indian restaurant is about one and a half miles away.
We stayed at the cottage for one week and had just a brilliant time! the house is very cosy and Seamus and Fiona fantastic hosts. We loved the beautiful walks one can do around the house.
Fiona was very straightforward and helpful to deal with. The cottage is as described and has everything you could need during your stay. The cottage is also in a very beautiful location.
Hi, I am a native of Donegal. I live there part of the week with my husband and two children. I am a lecturer in biology and my husband is an artist.

Fouad Ajami: Ten Years Ago, an Honorable War Began With Wide Supporttags: Iraq, anniversaries, Wall Street Journal, Iraq War, Fouad Ajami
Mr. Ajami is a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution and the author, most recently, of "The Syrian Rebellion" (Hoover Press, 2012).
Nowadays, few people step forth to speak well of the Iraq War, to own up to the support they gave that American campaign in the Arab world. Yet Operation Iraqi Freedom, launched 10 years ago this week, was once a popular war. We had struck into Afghanistan in 2001 to rout al Qaeda and the terrorists' Taliban hosts—but the 9/11 killers who brought ruin onto American soil were not Afghan. They were young Arabs, forged in the crucible of Arab society, in the dictators' prisons and torture chambers. Arab financiers and preachers gave them the means and the warrant for their horrific deeds.
America's previous venture into Iraq, a dozen years earlier, had been a lightning strike: The Iraqi dictator was evicted from Kuwait and then spared. Saddam Hussein's military machine was all rust and decay by 2003, but he swaggered and let the world believe that he had in his possession a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. The Arab redeemer, as he had styled himself, lacked the guile that might have saved him. A great military expedition was being readied against him in London and Washington, but he gambled to the bitter end that George W. Bush would not pull the trigger....

Jake Miller - Collide
Artist: Jake Miller
Producer: The Fliptones
Album: Us Against Them
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 3 votes )
Last we heard from Jake Miller, on April EP single Let You Go, the 19-year-old hip-pop buzzmaker was convinced he'd found the woman he was going to spend forever with. Five months ain't a long time when you're talking eternal love, but regardless, I'm happy to say that their spark is still burning. If anything, the latest single off Miller's freshman set finds him even more starstruck than before. Backed by The Fliptones' obscenely catchy, dancefloor-ready production, the artist gushes, "My heart ignites when our eyes Collide." Are you head over heels for this exhilarating single? If so, you can keep it locked for more fresh singles leading up to the October 29, release of Miller's eOne debut album, Us Against Them.

Newbie kayak advice
Posted by: old_user on Feb-09-13 4:28 PM (EST) Category: Kayaks
Looking at buying a kayak this spring. I live in Michigan, and will be doing mostly small inland lakes and streams/rivers. I may occasionally bring it out to Lake Michigan. Recommendations? Probably looking to keep it under $500, but may be willing to go higher.

Look for something used!
Posted by: jaws on Feb-09-13 4:32 PM (EST)
I would probably look for something in the 14 foot range. Decent for rivers and large enough for small and big lakes.
Posted by: scorpion5 on Feb-09-13 8:34 PM (EST)
Best advice is go to a Kayak store and test a bunch out. After you pick what you like then start looking for the best price. There are a lot of kayaks that are similar to each other(meaning some you pay for the name and some you don't). You should be able to pick up something that works for $500.00 without paddle and PFD. I know that in Missouri the Alpine shop has certain days where you can go to a local lake and test out a lot of kayaks.
Posted by: gingernc on Feb-11-13 1:26 PM (EST)
Beginner frendly. Maneuverable. 14 feet. You can camp out of it for a weekend. Made in two sizes to accommodate paddlers of different weights. You'd have to try for a used one, as retail new is $1100 to $1300, I believe. The Alchemy is not the barge that some plastic boats are.

Posted by: ByronWalter on Feb-09-13 10:56 PM (EST)
...you might want to consider a used kayak. Five hundred bucks isn't much to work with (and whatever your first kayak is, it will be the wrong one :). It's easy to sink $500 into just your paddle and PFD (okay, so 'sink' was probably a poor word choice). You really don't want to go too cheap on your gear. It's the stuff that keeps you from feeding the fish (along with a good skill set).
Posted by: dc9mm on Feb-10-13 11:46 AM (EST)
It depends on how serious you get into kayaking. I go with one group from the outdoor meetup group which is an online meetup group and most are casual kayakers that go on creeks and small lakes. Most are in plastic kayaks of about 14 foot in length. If that's your intended type of kayaking then a used 14 footer would work ok. Assuming your of average size. Come spring time look at Craigslist for used kayaks. Should be able to pick one up for about 400 to 600. Get one that has sealed front and rear compartments so it cant sink if tipped over. Take at least a beginner kayak safety class if possible.
Posted by: angstrom on Feb-10-13 4:11 PM (EST)
You might want to contact the WMCKA. They have winter pool sessions which include basic instruction. Picking up basic skills will put you in a much better position to make a good decsion on a kayak.
I agree
Posted by: glendorado on Feb-11-13 9:34 AM (EST)
with Byron. No matter what you buy, it won't be your last purchase assuming you don't decide kayaking isn't for you. "Canoecopia" show in Madison WI March 8-10. Tons of boats with manufacturers reps to talk to.

Posted by: nickjc on Feb-11-13 12:24 PM (EST)
with so little to spend you will be much better off finding someone selling everything because they are getting out of the sport than trying to stretch 500.
Posted by: ADNelson on Feb-16-13 11:09 AM (EST)
I know, Dick's is not the best place to get a kayak, but they have a nice crossover rec/touring kayak for $550 when not on sale, the Perception Sport Conduit 13. Not for ocean, large lakes with large waves/surf conditions, but seems what you are looking for.
Lake Michigan is large and tricky
Posted by: Celia on Feb-17-13 10:51 AM (EST)
Whatever someone says they will do to limit their paddling, having a body of water like that at hand tends to put someone on it. More boat and more careful time selecting one is prudent advice for this case.

Posted by: old_user on Feb-17-13 12:06 PM (EST)
To figure this out. Keep in mind even if you get advise at kayak shops from "the experts", and paddle some boats at demos, you'll most likely disire a different yak in a year or so. I out grew my very stable 1st kayak in 3 months, and I had no use for it since I don't paddle rivers, so I sold it here on P-net. It might fit your budget better to find a used boat in the 12-14 ft. range for rivers and small lakes and when you have some experience look into a longer yak more suited for big water. Just my 2 cents
Just my 2cents
Posted by: parrothead600 on Feb-22-13 9:18 AM (EST)
I would start out with a recreational kayak. They are generally wider & more stable for beginners. As others have already said, "make sure that it has some sort of floatation built in." (I.E. foam blocks, sealed hatches, floatation bags.)

Research Programs
Monetary Policy and Financial StructureThis program explores the structure of markets and institutions operating in the financial sector. Research builds on the work of the late Distinguished Scholar Hyman P. Minsky—notably, his financial instability hypothesis—and explores the institutional, regulatory, and market arrangements that contribute to financial instability. Research also examines policies—such as changes to the regulatory structure and the development of new types of institutions—necessary to contain instability.
Recent research has concentrated on the structure of financial markets and institutions, with the aim of determining whether financial systems are still subject to the risk of failing. Issues explored include the extent to which domestic and global economic events (such as the crises in Asia and Latin America) coincide with the types of instabilities Minsky describes, and involve analyses of his policy recommendations for alleviating instability and other economic problems.
Other subjects covered include the distributional effects of monetary policy, central banking and structural issues related to the European Monetary Union, and the role of finance in small business investment.

Working Paper No. 834 | March 2015
John Maynard Keynes held that the central bank's actions determine long-term interest rates through short-term interest rates and various monetary policy measures. His conjectures about the determinants of long-term interest rates were made in the context of advanced capitalist economies, and were based on his views on ontological uncertainty and the formation of investors' expectations. Are these conjectures valid in emerging markets, such as India? This paper empirically investigates the determinants of changes in Indian government bonds' nominal yields. Changes in short-term interest rates, after controlling for other crucial variables such as changes in the rates of inflation and economic activity, take a lead role in driving changes in the nominal yields of Indian government bonds. This vindicates Keynes's theories, and suggests that his views on long-term interest rates are also applicable to emerging markets. Higher fiscal deficits do not appear to raise government bond yields in India. It is further argued that Keynes's conjectures about investors' outlooks, views, and expectations are fairly robust in a world of ontological uncertainty.Download:Associated Program(s):Author(s):Tanweer Akram Anupam DasRelated Topic(s):Region(s):Asia
Policy Note 2015/1 | February 2015
Financial Fragility and the Survival of the Single CurrencyGiven the continuing divergence between progress in the monetary field and political integration in the euro area, the German interest in imposing austerity may be seen as representing an attempt to achieve, de facto, accelerated progress toward political union; progress that has long been regarded by Germany as a precondition for the success of monetary unification in the form of the common currency. Yet no matter how necessary these austerity policies may appear in the context of the slow and incomplete political integration in Europe, they are ultimately unsustainable. In the absence of further progress in political unification, writes Senior Scholar Jan Kregel, the survival and stability of the euro paradoxically require either sustained economic stagnation or the maintenance of what Hyman Minsky would have recognized as a Ponzi scheme. Neither of these alternatives is economically or politically sustainable.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):

Can Reform of the International Financial Architecture Support Emerging Markets?The developed world's policy response to the recent financial crisis has produced complaints from Brazil of "currency wars" and calls from India for increased policy coordination and cooperation. Chinese officials have echoed the "exorbitant privilege" noted by de Gaulle in the 1960s, and Russia has joined China as a proponent of replacing the dollar with Special Drawing Rights. However, none of the proposed remedies are adequate to achieve the emerging market economies' objective of joining the ranks of industrialized, developed countries.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Public Policy Brief No. 139 | February 2015
Emerging Market Economies and the Reform of the International Financial Architecture
Back to the FutureEmerging market economies are taking an ill-targeted and far too limited approach to addressing their ongoing problems with the international financial system, according to Senior Scholar Jan Kregel. In this policy brief, he explains why only a wholesale reform of the international financial architecture can adequately address these countries' concerns. As a blueprint for reform, Kregel recommends a radical proposal advanced in the 1940s, most notably by John Maynard Keynes. Keynes was among those who were developing proposals for shaping the international financial system in the immediate postwar period. His clearing union plan, itself inspired by Hjalmar Schacht's system of bilateral clearing agreements, would have effectively eliminated the need for an international reserve currency. Under Keynes's clearing union, trade and other international payments would be automatically facilitated through a global clearinghouse, using debits and credits denominated in a notional unit of account. The unit of account would have a fixed conversion rate to national currencies and could not be bought, sold, or traded—meaning no market for foreign currency would be required. Clearinghouse credits could only be used to offset debits by buying imports, and if not used within a specified period of time, the credits would be extinguished, giving export surplus countries an incentive to spend them. As Kregel points out, this would help support global demand and enable a shared adjustment burden. Though Keynes's proposal was not specifically designed for emerging market economies, Kregel recommends combining this plan with current ideas for regionally governed institutions—to create, in other words, "regional clearing unions," building on existing swaps arrangements. Under such a system, emerging market economies would be able to pursue their development needs without reliance on the prevailing international financial architecture, in which their concerns are, at best, diluted.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 833 | February 2015
A Blueprint for ReformIf emerging markets are to achieve their objective of joining the ranks of industrialized, developed countries, they must use their economic and political influence to support radical change in the international financial system. This working paper recommends John Maynard Keynes's "clearing union" as a blueprint for reform of the international financial architecture that could address emerging market grievances more effectively than current approaches.
Keynes's proposal for the postwar international system sought to remedy some of the same problems currently facing emerging market economies. It was based on the idea that financial stability was predicated on a balance between imports and exports over time, with any divergence from balance providing automatic financing of the debit countries by the creditor countries via a global clearinghouse or settlement system for trade and payments on current account. This eliminated national currency payments for imports and exports; countries received credits or debits in a notional unit of account fixed to national currency. Since the unit of account could not be traded, bought, or sold, it would not be an international reserve currency. The credits with the clearinghouse could only be used to offset debits by buying imports, and if not used for this purpose they would eventually be extinguished; hence the burden of adjustment would be shared equally—credit generated by surpluses would have to be used to buy imports from the countries with debit balances. Emerging market economies could improve upon current schemes for regionally governed financial institutions by using this proposal as a template for the creation of regional clearing unions using a notional unit of account.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 832 | February 2015
The Contributions of John F. HenryThis paper explores the rise of money and class society in ancient Greece, drawing historical and theoretical parallels to the case of ancient Egypt. In doing so, the paper examines the historical applicability of the chartalist and metallist theories of money. It will be shown that the origins and the evolution of money were closely intertwined with the rise and consolidation of class society and inequality. Money, class society, and inequality came into being simultaneously, so it seems, mutually reinforcing the development of one another. Rather than a medium of exchange in commerce, money emerged as an "egalitarian token" at the time when the substance of social relations was undergoing a fundamental transformation from egalitarian to class societies. In this context, money served to preserve the façade of social and economic harmony and equality, while inequality was growing and solidifying. Rather than "invented" by private traders, money was first issued by ancient Greek states and proto-states as they aimed to establish and consolidate their political and economic power. Rather than a medium of exchange in commerce, money first served as a "means of recompense" administered by the Greek city-states as they strived to implement the civic conception of social justice. While the origins of money are to be found in the origins of inequality, a well-functioning democratic society has the power to subvert the inequality-inducing characteristic of money via the use of money for public purpose, following the principles of Modern Money Theory (MMT). When used according to the principles of MMT, the inequality-inducing characteristic of money could be undermined, while the current trends in rising income and wealth disparities could be contained and reversed.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Alla Semenova L.

Working Paper No. 831 | January 2015
The Market Creating and Shaping Roles of State Investment Banks
Recent decades witnessed a trend whereby private markets retreated from financing the real economy, while, simultaneously, the real economy itself became increasingly financialized. This trend resulted in public finance becoming more important for investments in capital development, technical change, and innovation. Within this context, this paper focuses on the roles played by a particular source of public finance: state investment banks (SIBs). It develops a conceptual typology of the different roles that SIBs play in the economy, which together show the market creation/shaping process of SIBs rather than their mere "market fixing" roles. This paper discusses four types of investments, both theoretically and empirically: countercyclical, developmental, venture capitalist, and challenge led. To develop the typology, we first discuss how standard market failure theory justifies the roles of SIBs, the diagnostics and evaluation toolbox associated with it, and resulting criticisms centered on notions of "government failures." We then show the limitations of this approach based on insights from Keynes, Schumpeter, Minsky, and Polanyi, as well as other authors from the evolutionary economics tradition, which help us move toward a framework for public investments that is more about market creating/shaping than market fixing. As frameworks lead to evaluation tools, we use this new lens to discuss the increasingly targeted investments that SIBs are making, and to shed new light on the usual criticisms that are made about such directed activity (e.g., crowding out and picking winners). The paper ends with a proposal of directions for future research.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Mariana Mazzucato Caetano C.R. PennaRelated Topic(s):

The Repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act and the Federal Reserve's Extraordinary Intervention during the Global Financial Crisis
Before the global financial crisis, the assistance of a lender of last resort was traditionally thought to be limited to commercial banks. During the crisis, however, the Federal Reserve created a number of facilities to support brokers and dealers, money market mutual funds, the commercial paper market, the mortgage-backed securities market, the triparty repo market, et cetera. In this paper, we argue that the elimination of specialized banking through the eventual repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act (GSA) has played an important role in the leakage of the public subsidy intended for commercial banks to nonbank financial institutions. In a specialized financial system, which the GSA had helped create, the use of the lender-of-last-resort safety net could be more comfortably limited to commercial banks.
However, the elimination of GSA restrictions on bank-permissible activities has contributed to the rise of a financial system where the lines between regulated and protected banks and the so-called shadow banking system have become blurred. The existence of the shadow banking universe, which is directly or indirectly guaranteed by banks, has made it practically impossible to confine the safety to the regulated banking system. In this context, reforming the lender-of-last-resort institution requires fundamental changes within the financial system itself.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Yeva NersisyanRelated Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 828 | January 2015
The Indian Case
Financialization creates space for the financial sector in economies, and in doing so helps to raise the share of financial assets in the portfolios held by market participants. Largely driven by deregulation, the process works to make financial assets relatively attractive as compared to other assets, by offering both better returns and potential capital gains. Both the trend toward a more financialized economy and the expected returns on financial investments have provided incentives to corporate managers to invest larger sums in financial assets, resulting in growth of the share of financial assets relative to other assets held in portfolios. Assets held in the financial sector, however, failed to generate asset growth for the corporates. The need to obtain resources by borrowing in order to meet current liabilities reflects a pattern of Ponzi finance on their part. This paper traces the above pattern in corporate holdings of assets and its implications, with emphasis on the Indian economy.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Sunanda Sen Zico DasGuptaRelated Topic(s):
Working Paper No. 827 | January 2015
Early Work on Endogenous Money and the Prudent Banker
In this paper, I examine whether Hyman P. Minsky adopted an endogenous money approach in his early work—at the time that he was first developing his financial instability approach. In an earlier piece (Wray 1992), I closely examined Minsky's published writings to support the argument that, from his earliest articles in 1957 to his 1986 book (as well as a handout he wrote in 1987 on "securitization"), he consistently held an endogenous money view. I'll refer briefly to that published work. However, I will devote most of the discussion here to unpublished early manuscripts in the Minsky archive (Minsky 1959, 1960, 1970). These manuscripts demonstrate that in his early career Minsky had already developed a deep understanding of the nature of banking. In some respects, these unpublished pieces are better than his published work from that period (or even later periods) because he had stripped away some institutional details to focus more directly on the fundamentals. It will be clear from what follows that Minsky's approach deviated substantially from the postwar "Keynesian" and "monetarist" viewpoints that started from a "deposit multiplier." The 1970 paper, in particular, delineates how Minsky's approach differs from the "Keynesian" view as presented in mainstream textbooks. Further, Minsky's understanding of banking in those years appears to be much deeper than that displayed three or four decades later by much of the post-Keynesian endogenous-money literature.Download:Associated Program:Author(s):Related Topic(s):

The Obama administration is requiring oil and gas companies to disclose what's in their fracking fluid. How is that going to shake out in Garfield County? Did a town hall meeting hosted by this station on the controversial and confusing charter amendment known as "Keep Aspen Aspen" shed light on the issue enough that voters are convinced one way or the other? Meanwhile, down in Carbondale a woman who used to co-own a NBA basketball team is suing the IRS for $21 million. Mountain Edition - March 26th, 2015 By Marci Krivonen & Elise Thatcher • Mar 26, 2015 Good afternoon, it's Mountain Edition. Residents in the Mid-Valley saw federal agents in tactical gear this week. We'll tell you why. A police officer involved in a controversial arrest of an Aspen teenager says he's leaving the department. Proponents and opponents of a ballot measure to change Aspen's land use code sound off at a town hall meeting. A beloved restaurant in Aspen will keep its doors open longer than expected. And, a popular Aspen bike-sharing program wants to expand its reach. Little Annie's stays open… for now By Elise Thatcher • Mar 26, 2015 Elise Thatcher Little Annie's lives again. Aspen's long suffering affordable eatery was supposed to close next week. But it turns out Little Annie's can stay open. Aspen Public Radio's Elise Thatcher has the story. Proponents, opponents of Referendum 1 voice concerns at Town Hall By Elise Thatcher • Mar 26, 2015 Elise Thatcher Proponents of a land use referendum were the most vocal attendees, at a town hall forum in Aspen last night. Aspen Public Radio arranged the event, which had a panel of speakers for and against the referendum. Of the approximately sixty people in attendance, those in favor of the ballot question, and further restricting development, were more likely to ask questions. Listen Now: "Keep Aspen Aspen" Town Hall By Carolyn Sackariason • Mar 25, 2015 Town Hall Meeting on the "Keep Aspen Aspen" ballot referendum recorded on Wednesday March 25th, 2015 at the Belly Up Aspen. The forum is moderated by Aspen Public Radio News Director Carolyn Sackariason and features supporters and opponents of the May 5th ballot measure that would force a public vote for development variances over a particular threshold. Live Event: "Keep Aspen Aspen" Ballot Referendum Town Hall By Carolyn Sackariason • Mar 16, 2015 Join Aspen Public Radio for a live broadcast of a Town Hall Meeting on the "Keep Aspen Aspen" ballot referendum, Wednesday March 25th from 5:30-7:00pm from the Belly Up Aspen. This moderated forum is open to the public and will feature proponents and opponents of the measure along with Michael Kinsley – an architect of the slow growth zoning in Pitkin County. The town hall is free to attend or listen live worldwide through Aspen Public Radio, on-air or on-line, for this special event. Aspen officials put off deciding to restrict development By Elise Thatcher • Mar 10, 2015 Aspen City Council decided last night [Monday] to hold off for a while on changing the town's land use code. The ordinance was drafted in response to a ballot measure calling for more oversight of development approvals.

Your Evening News - February 10th, 2015 By Aspen Public Radio News • Feb 10, 2015 Hotel Jerome Sold for $69.1 Million to Auberge Board Member The historic Hotel Jerome sold for $69.1 Million on Monday according to Pitkin County assessor records. The sale makes it one of the largest commercial real estate transactions for a single property in downtown Aspen in recent years. The new owner is Houston businessman Dan Friedkin. He also bought an adjacent property for $3.35 Million that was once the Aspen Times office. Friedkin is the majority shareholder of Auberge Resorts Collection – the company that manages the Jerome, along with other high-end hotels. The seller was Chicago-based Don Wilson, the managing partner of DRW Real Estate. He bought the 93-room hotel on Main Street out of foreclosure in 2009 for between $25 to $36 Million, according to conflicting media reports. DRW then invested over $20 Million on a major renovation of the 113,000 square foot building in 2012. Tony DiLucia is the hotel's general manager. He says he couldn't more pleased to have Friedkin as the new owner. "So, here is a guy that truly wants to be in the hospitality, hotel business. Again, it's handing over stewardship. Don did his magic with his team and re-did this whole hotel which we are so grateful for. They are into the whole what this hotel means to our community." All operations and staff will remain the same at the Hotel Jerome. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

Weight Loss Is a Health Issue, Not a Sport
Obesity is not only a worldwide epidemic, it is also big, big business. For example, NBC's TV hit, "The Biggest Loser," which features overweight to morbidly obese people struggling to shed as many pounds as possible in a race-like contest, has become an enormous success in many countries around the world.

Growing Up With Healthy Eating Habits
When World War II broke out, I was a young child living in London, England. Our part of town on the east side took the brunt of the "London Blitz," enduring relentless air raids at day and night. Eventually, it was decided that parts of the civilian population and especially the children had to be evacuated to the safer countryside up north. [Read More]
The Meaning of Good Health
I love the Internet. I don't miss the days when one had to go to the bookstore or the library to read up on anything and everything. Whatever there is to know about almost any subject, it's right at our fingertips. I can see a difference in my clients too. They are so much better informed about their aches and pains – even before they come to my practice, and every so often they give me a heads up on the latest news too. [Read More]
Eating With All Our Senses
One of my most favorite times of the year is the Farmer's Market season. Nowhere is food more fresh and nutritious than when it comes from a farm nearby – and with your purchases you get a chance to support your local economy as well. I also enjoy the personal touch when interacting with the farmers; but more so, I love to see, touch, smell and taste the food I'm buying. You can't do that with processed, canned, packaged or frozen items. All you get to see is a photo on a label – and usually that … [Read More]
Men and Women Gain Weight Differently and Store Fat in Different Places. Why Is That?
On average, women store between five and ten percent more fat than men, even though men consume proportionately more calories. And, although women typically burn more calories than men during physical exercise, they don't lose as much fat. [Read More]
What You Must Know Before You Detox
Many cultures around the world and throughout history have known and practiced the art of detoxification as a form of enhanced cleansing of the body – and also the mind. By contrast, practitioners of Western medicine have not yet come to a universal consensus over the actual health benefits or potential dangers of detoxing. Skeptics argue that the natural propensities of the human body are self-sufficient enough to eliminate toxins without outside help. But there is also a growing trend in today's … [Read More]
A Call for Regulating Energy Drinks
They promise to boost your energy, make you super alert and enhance your performance, both physically and mentally. And they are extremely popular, especially among young people. Ever since they came on the market in the late Nineties, demand for energy drinks has exploded, totaling sales of more than $5 billion annually in the U.S. alone. [Read More]
Your Food Is In the Mail
The Internet has revolutionized the world in countless ways and, like all revolutions, it has produced winners and losers. Entire industries have disappeared or are about to be extinct, as new ones emerge on an almost daily basis. No one remains untouched by these changes. Newspapers, TV networks and book publishers all lament their demise, and so do retailers, travel agencies and even grocery stores and supermarkets. Online food shopping has been around for a number of years, but the concept is … [Read More]
No More Toys at Fast Food Places
The board of supervisors of Santa Clara County, California, has decided to ban all toys that come with fast food meals for children. The reasoning goes like this: The choices kids make in fast food restaurants are not so much determined by the food, but rather by the promotional gift items that come with it. In other words, kids choose burgers, chicken nuggets and fries mainly because they want the included toys – which are often part of larger promotion campaigns by movie companies and the likes … [Read More]
FDA Aims at Salt and Sugar Cut Backs
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it will step up its efforts to help reduce the amounts of sugar and salt in the American diet as part of the new health care reform and its emphasis on preventive health care measures. Specifically, the FDA is calling on food manufacturers to voluntarily cut back on sodium and sugar content in processed foods. There are no immediate plans for binding regulations; however, the industry is being urged to take decisive action to reduce the excessively … [Read More]

Like many people in late middle age, I find myself wondering if my next dog will be different. I have long shared my life with retrievers — active, field-bred dogs who throw themselves with joy into every situation (and every puddle of water bigger than a dinner plate). Their boisterousness is infectious: My dogs make me happy. But in 10 years, or 15, or 20, will I be up to the demands of dogs like these?
Or will a nice, quiet little spaniel be the dog I need?
My answer may be different than others, even among people of similar age (55), health (reasonably good) and activity level (decent, could be better). I live in a rural pocket near an urban center, and I can always walk out my back door and engage a bored retriever in a heart-thumping game of fetch in my horse pasture. But I won't always be able to lift a sick or injured 70-pound dog, and that's an unchangeable truth. These types of concerns explain in part the increased popularity of small dogs as baby boomers like me approach retirement age.
So, yes, size does matter when you're choosing a canine companion for your golden years. But so do energy level and health history. Energy level is important, because if you choose a small dog thinking he'll be easier to keep exercised and entertained than a large one, chances are you don't know anyone who has a Jack Russell. And the health history is important in choosing any dog, but especially so when you're on a fixed income, as most retirees are. The health history may tell you about any preexisting health conditions that your dog may have, but of course, it's not a guarantee that the dog won't develop health issues in the future. An easygoing or at least kid-tolerant temperament is also a must, especially if you have grandkids over regularly.
Before I start suggesting specific breeds, I have two other recommendations. First, get an adult dog. With an adult dog, you are more likely to have a good idea of health history and temperament, and you're past the time and money involved in raising a puppy. Second, check out shelters and rescue groups to get a great pet — breed mixes may often have fewer health problems than their purebred counterparts. If you want a purebred puppy, be sure to find a reputable breeder, because if you don't, you may end up with a poorly socialized dog or a dog with health issues who doesn't measure up to the full potential of the breed. (You may also be supporting puppy mills if you choose the wrong source for your pup, and you don't want to do that.)

Related Strips: #720: You Jinxed It
To be continued on Thursday, naturally.
A couple of you have asked me what I think about the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, so I'll talk about that briefly, I guess:
I know I made light of the Philadelphia movie theater shooting a few years back, but… well, you know, nobody died there. Nobody walked into that theater thinking, "Hey, I'm going to kill a bunch of people." It seemed a different sort of situation.
I'm not going to bring this up in Multiplex in the immediate future, mostly because I'm in the middle of this zombie story, so there's no room for it, but also because I just don't want to give that little psycho any more ink. It's a terrible tragedy, and I hope the little mother fucker who inflicted it on Aurora, Colorado, gets what's coming to him, and that's all I really have to say about it right now.
Sadly enough, it may end up having to have implications on Multiplex, anyway — particularly related to the costumes and such… so it might have to come up in some fashion. But I'll worry about that when I need to.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:
