The tongue-in-cheek campaign, created by Agency.com, aims to boost the Audible brand and drive subscriptions to its downloadable audio content.
Audible has a message for its target audience: "Don't Read." That's the tagline for the downloadable audio content firm's new interactive campaign, which parodies public service announcements.
The multichannel campaign, created by Omnicom's Agency.com, aims to promote Audible's redesigned Web site, and to raise awareness of the Audible brand. The tagline satirizes the 1980s-era public service announcement posters from the American Library Association, which featured various celebrities and intellectuals holding a book under the tagline "Read." A second tagline, "Listening Saves," is being used for a portion of the campaign with a more direct-marketing approach.
"Our media plan is very broad, and then it's niche. The 'Don't Read' ads are designed to give a broad sense of what the value proposition is, explain the brand, and build some awareness at the brand level," Adam Lavelle, Agency.com's VP of strategy, told ClickZ News. "The 'Listening Saves' ads will target specific audiences and be more acquisition- and response-driven."
The "Don't Read" ads will appear on sites like eBay's book section, Fandango, and large media sites, while the "Listening Saves" ads will be targeted to some unexpected vertical niche sites like eTrucker.com, Lavelle said.
"We've targeted people we think are going to listen to audio books on their iPods. We've targeted groups like truckers, commuters, people who go to the gym a lot," he said. "We've done a lot of profile work behind the scenes based on existing Audible users and some other third-party research to create micro-segments based on their situations and their usage of the product."
The online ads, as well as the new dontread.org and listeningsaves.org microsites to which they link, feature offbeat characters touting the service, including a professor, a nun, a policeman, a doctor and a superhero. The landing page is set up to show the same character as the referring ad.
A digital audio player is built into the ad to allow users to listen to 28 different audio clips directly from the unit. Agency.com has used a similar approach in ads it created for British Airways, where it included a ticket booking engine in the ad, and for CNN, where it put a live news feed in the ad unit.
"We have a 'detach and distribute' philosophy. For us, ad units are an empty container that we can put anything in," Lavelle said. "We're focused on show and tell, not just telling, so we try to bring as much functionality as we can into the ad unit."
The nearly identical microsites sites are repositories for the campaign's multimedia content, showcasing the viral elements from the banner ads, posters of the campaign characters, and sample audio clips. The sites also house additional content, including a narrated segment of a "Beginner's Guide to Not Reading."
Agency.com is rigorously testing responses to ads in the campaign, and the content of the sites will likely change and become unique once they see what works best for each part of the campaign, Lavelle said.
The campaign also includes a viral element, with users able to forward an audio clip to a friend by email or SMS text message.
In addition to creative and strategy, Agency.com handled media planning and buying. This is the first work the agency has done for Audible. The two began working together last summer to redesign of Audible's site to improve navigation, and add personalization and recommendations.

The cemetery is located across the street from the visitors center, or if your on the driving tour you can also park on that side. There are over 3000 graves on this sight and most of them have no names. It was very peaceful, and sad.
Easy tour by car and has flat walking trails available. Staff is very helpful. The guided tour has interesting stops and tells the story of the soldiers who fought and died there.
I drove though the battle field and this was across the street from where you exit. Well maintained and full of history. Great spot for a photographer. A reminder of how many people of lost their lives for our country.
It always takes my breath away to witness the tributes given to Americans in uniform, as they well deserve. This is especially true in a cemetery designed and maintained with such respect. It is also a wonderful place to walk around, reflect on the history of these events, and soak in the hallowed and peaceful surroundings.
Very well kept historical cemetery. It was nice to walk around and learn about everything. Be careful crossing the street to get to the cemetery from the museum.
This National Cemetery is the final resting place for Union soldiers. No southern soldiers are buried here. This is a very solemn place and is a beautiful place to visit.
Well taken care of and located across from the battlefield, it is pretty typical for a Civil War cemetery.
This cemetery is exceptionally well maintained. Verses from the famous poem "the Biouvac of the Dead" are posted along the drive in the middle of the burial grounds, which helps drive home the solemness of the site.
Just outside the cemetery is the Hazen's Brigade Monument, the oldest Civil War monument in the U.S., having been erected in 1863. It...
It is amazing how many men died here in such a short amount of time, fighting for the side they believed in. Looking over all of the grave makers of the union soldiers (the Confederate soldiers were buried elsewhere) can almost bring you to tears when you think about the thousands who died here in one of the fiercest battles...
I love seening this did not kno it was here tell i was walking on the greenway i see alot by walking love it here.

Don't Techno For An Answer
Design by macster
... i don't get it...
i like the idea, but it is way too simple. but ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say $5
I'll spell it out for the those that don't undertand "don't take no for an answer"... work it out
its good but i already have god hates techno.
NICE,,love it!!
some one used to listen to Tribal/Guerilla Records, I have all of the compilations from the early-mid 90s
yes! $5
I agree with Matt Palmer on God Hates Techno. I wanna steal this and submit it as a Type Tee!
love the pun, the colors, and the placement 5$
I love puns and slogans, but i feel this particular one falls flat on its ectasy-enhanced face. Sorry. And the text is put in such a way that it draws heavily from "i came to dance".
The point of the slogan entries is just to let someone else design the presentation. The slogan tees are still designs, just not by the people that sumbit the slogan idea. So this designer does both parts himself! Be nice!
nice, plz print, $5

Was pleasantly surprised that we found the right sitter so quickly as the hours we require care are very early in the morning. We actually had 3 positive replies within the first 24 hours. Even better, our babysitters sister has now joined your great site & is our back up babysitter. They are both reliable, friendly & fun. Thanks so much for making it so easy to find a babysitter.

Interview with Red Hat's New CEO 129
from the impossible-growth-charts-impress-investors dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
In response to your comment about KDE there is a very good reason that RedHat use Gnome by default (IMHO): It is more like windows.
The problem with KDE is that the people who design the interface refuse to acknowledge that Windows is what everyone is used to and you need to make the transition away from that as easy as possible. Gnome has certain key features (like cut and paste) that are as close to the windows functionality as possible.
You have it exactly backwards. GNOME's user interface has become more and more like Mac OS X in several important ways, like the file chooser dialog, spatial file manager, program menu at the top of the screen, etc. etc. while KDE emulates Windows in just about every way (except it adds a bunch of features Windows doesn't have).
And where on earth did you get the mistaken idea that KDE does not support Windows-style cut and paste? It always has.
No, the real reason GNOME is dominant in business-oriented distributions is GTK's more liberal licensing: LGPL instead of Qt's GPL/commercial dual licensing. That means you can make a GTK/GNOME-based commercial, closed-source product without having to buy a license from the GUI toolkit's maker. With Qt and hence with KDE, that is not possible.
Be sociable. Speak to the person next to you in the unemployment line tomorrow.

Hi, I've just joined and have never made cider before so an completely stuck as to the terminology used here! I'm hoping to make blackberry cider in the care home I work in with some of my residents as we have an abundance of blackberries. Could someone explain in laymans terms how to make this cider! Thanks
interpretation is in blue
1. Soak first round of blackberries in vodka for 10 minutes, then drain.self explanitory
2. Pour half of cider into primary.pour half of the cider into the vessel you will be frementing in
3. Add sugar to remaining cider and shake jug well.Add the sugar to the now half full jug of apple juice you just poured, cap and shake like hell, then pour the rest into the frementor vessel
4. Add blackberries and cider/sugar mixture to primary.put the blackberries into the frementor
5. Pitch yeast.add the yeast to the frementor
6. Ferment till dry (~30 days/1.003)wait until the SG is ~1.003, if you dont have a hydrometer that would give you sg readings, get one. They are ~5$ and soooo useful
7. Soak second round of blackberries in vodka for 10 minutes, then drain.once fermentation is complete, get another batch of blueberries
8. Add blackberries to secondary and rack cider on top of it.secondary is another fermentation vessel that you use after the primary fermentation to clear the cider
9. Rack to tertiary after 10 days (clearing rack)This is a third fermentation vessel used to further clear the cider, could be your 1st vessel just cleared out if you want.
10. After 10 days, add sugar to taste (I used ~1 cup).add sugar until you like it
11. Bottle and pasteurize after desired carb level has been reached.bottle the cider, and try the cider daily after 2-3 days until it is as bubbly as you like it, then pasturize the bottles. There is a sticky on how to bottle pasturize
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder"
Primary - Nothing til I'm back in college
Bottled/drinking - Cinnamon cider(11% abv)
In step 10, did you do dextrose?
Just racked my blackberry cider to tertiary. Looks good. Tastes berryish, definitely needs to be sweetened in ten days. Any problem with the headroom for ten days?
Hey all. I just bottled my cider made 7/15. Backsweetened with three cups of dextrose. Tasted ok. Do I need to bottle condition for a while? Not a cheap 3 gallon batch so I want to wait til it's optimal to drink since it only yielded one case. Gonna bottle pasteurize after it is good and carbed in a few days.
I just put my variation of this recipe into the primary tonight. I'm making a 2 gallon batch, so here's what I used so far:
2 gallons pastuerized apple juice
1lbs blackberries soaked in cheap white rum
1/2lbs brown sugar
Half a package of Safale S-04 dry yeast (rehydrated)
Primary fermenter is a store-bought 2.5 gallon plastic water jug with the spigot removed and replaced with an airlock, standing on its side so the airlock is on top.
I'm thinking about adding more brown sugar and Campden tablets during bottling to make it sweeter.

Dallaire blasts Ottawa, U.S. over handling of Khadr case
Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire says the U.S. and Canada have descended to the level of the terrorists they pursue by flouting international law and allowing Omar Khadr to be prosecuted for war crimes at Guantanamo Bay.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA–Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire says the U.S. and Canada have descended to the level of the terrorists they pursue by flouting international law and allowing Omar Khadr to be prosecuted for war crimes at Guantanamo Bay.
"They are operating on a law of their own," Dallaire told the House of Commons foreign affairs human rights committee yesterday. "The (trial in Guantanamo) is flawed, it is illegal, and we're letting it happen."
His comments sparked a terse exchange with Conservative MP Jason Kenney, who asked how Dallaire could compare Canada's support for Guantanamo to terrorists who kidnap and kill civilians.
"Is it your testimony that Al Qaeda strapping up a 14-year-old girl with Down's syndrome and sending her into a pet market to be remotely detonated is the moral equivalent to Canada's not making extraordinary political efforts for a transfer of Omar Khadr to this country?" he asked. "Is that your position?"
"You're either with the law or you're not with the law," Dallaire shot back.
"You are not allowed to go against (international) conventions and if you do, you're going down the same road as those who absolutely don't believe (in the law)."
Kenney's comments referred to a February attack in a Baghdad market that made headlines around the world after military officials said it was carried out by unwitting young bombers. But the story was later retracted when it emerged the two female bombers were actually in their late 20s or 30s and did not have Down's syndrome.
Dallaire testified yesterday as a witness alongside David Crane, former U.S. chief prosecutor for Sierra Leone's war crimes trials, as part of the committee's probe into the Khadr case and the Canadian government's lack of intervention.
Following question period yesterday, Kenney told reporters he was "shocked and disturbed" by Dallaire's comments.
"It's the sort of thing I might expect to hear from a mob of wacky protesters, not from a Canadian senator," he said.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion said he disagreed with Dallaire's choice of words but agreed that Khadr should be repatriated.
"I would express that in my own way. I would say that Canada should do like the other countries and ask the government of the United States to bring this Canadian home to be prosecuted in Canada."
Khadr was 15 when he was shot and captured by U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan on July 27, 2002.
Now 21, he is on trial for five war crimes, including murder for the death of Delta Force soldier Sgt. Christopher Speer, who was fatally wounded by a grenade the Pentagon alleges Khadr threw.
Both Crane and Dallaire – whose experience throughout Africa have made them advocates for the rights of child soldiers – told the committee that international law demands that children under the age of 18 who are caught in armed conflict be rehabilitated, not prosecuted.
A military judge recently rejected a motion by Khadr's lawyers to dismiss the Toronto detainee's case on the basis of his age, ruling that the U.S. Military Commissions Act did not set a minimum age of prosecution.
Khadr is the only Western detainee still held at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo, Cuba.
Other Western countries have demanded the repatriation of their citizens.

2005 Volvo V50 4 Dr T5 Turbo Wagon Review
Fast, handles well, good looking for a wagon
Small, small back seat. few electronic glitches
Volvo V50 — It's a sporty little wagon that has some get up and go. The turbo makes this car fly. I'm bummed that the shocks are almost shot and the rear driver's side door window and lock don't work and need to be repaired. It's a blast though. The tech cloth interior is prone to stains. the brakes are cool and I dno't really want to write anymore!

Big space
V50 — Good fuel economy, brilliant transmission and good power. 200+ torque, 180bhp, with 6 air-bags. Volvo made, unbelievably tough car. That was a wagon, with big space to carry boxes, etc. Transmission is good, which is an auto-manual thing. Generally speaking, brilliant car for winter here.

2005 Volvo V50 4 Dr T5 Turbo AWD Wagon Review
Great braking and safety, nice stereo, lots of cargo room, nice performance w/ 6-speed Manual
Some costly maintenance for some items.
Great Family Cruiser That You Wont Fall Asleep Driving — finding a car that suits all your needs can be difficult. I researched different cars for months, but found that AWD wagons are hard to find in a manual transmission. I was first attracted to its different look and good price tag. The 6-speed makes great use of its available power, and the turbo makes this heavy car move when necessary. you may even surprise that Boy racer with the great low end torque, and the grip from the AWD. The braking in this car is insane, but it does come at a cost. It will eat through brakes much quicker than normal if you brake aggressively. Fuel mileage is acceptable, but not fantastic. mid-high 20's on the highway, although I was able to crack 30 on an empty highway. I could go on all day but I will cut to the chase. great safe car for the money.

comfy, quiet, good mpg, not a huge estate/wagon
indicators work intermittantly ;-).
A Proper Workhorse — 50 mpg, heated seats, mp3, sits on the motorway at 90 all day long,, done 25,000 so far this year, thus a vulva. Not the biggest boot in the work but more than enough room for all my work gear and my dog! Dual zone a/c is a nice touch as is the auto dim mirror. Could do with bigger door pockets. Awesome sound system although mine is a factory upgrade.

"Designers were easy to work with and helped my customize. Shipping was fast and came exactly when expected, and items were great quality. My only tiny gripe is that the design seemed to have sparkle in it on the website, but when it arrived the glittered sections were not glittery, just printed to look as if they were. Not a big deal at all, but should be noted. Live chat was very helpful too."

All - I wanted to try some cider but didnt want to invest a lot of money so i got 5 gallons of hytop apple juice from the store...cost$20.
I also added 1 lb of honey , which was another ~$4.
I let it sit in the primary for about a week, racked it to a secondary and have let it clear and age for 3 weeks.
I put it in the keg after that, it settled in and carbinated in about 3 days...it tasted fairly good but it was missing something.....i started reading up and from what i could gather i needed to add some acid....so i ordered an acid blend for wine/friut, added a small amount and wow what a diffrence....
the cider came out to about 5%, but you cant really taste the acohol....it is VERY smooth...
the acid gave it just the right amount of sour/bitterness to make it a GREAT brew....
so it you ever want to try apple cider for cheap, i would recomend this, i will definatly be doing it again!
What kind of yeast did you use? What do you use to carbonate? Corn sugar? I'm about to try my first cider and I've only done wine and mead so far and no beers yet.
Primary: Empty
#6001 Chardonnay
#6002 JAO Mead
#6003 Traditional Cider
Just about any wine/beer/cider yeast will work. I use nottingham. Corn sugar, table sugar, more juice to carbonate. Nothing is simpler than cider. Shoot, if you get freshly pressed juice, you don't even need yeast.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
If you carbonate is it safer to bottle in beer bottles, or does it matter? I only have wine bottles and corks and a nice corker, and I dunno if I really want to buy a capper, caps, and beer bottles yet.
I used a standard wine yeast for firmentation...
I have a keg setup so i force carbinated
Desert Planet Brewing Co.
Primary :Bloody Nose Porter
Primary 2: Bloody Nose Porter
Secondary: Blackberry Melomel
Secondary 2:air
Bottled : 14 Pound Hammer Cider, Punkin Ale, know ale, Domino wheat
Keg 1: **** Inside Her
Keg 2: IPA
Keg 3: one on a weeknight, two on a weekend IIPA
Future : Ginger Cream Ale,
Interesting - I've made the exact same recipe, but without the acid, and I used an ale yeast (wyeast 1056). I also thought it was missing something - I'll have to give it a try.
Oh, yeah - how much did you add?
I made mine in the 1Gal glass jugs the juice came in. Added half a vial of WL0001 to each. To one of them I added 1/2 c. brown sugar and a cloth bag with 5 cloves and 2 cinimon sticks.
The one with out the added stuff was better. Fermented down to almost exactly 1.000. Quite dry, but very tasty.

- discrete element method
Three-dimensional modeling of the gas–solid flow in a spout-fluid bed is conducted at the particle-scale level. Both the local and systematic dispersion behaviors of solid phase are initially investigated. Then, the solid circulating and resident behaviors are discussed. The results demonstrate that vigorously lateral solid dispersion appears in the spout region and the periphery of the fountain, whereas intensely vertical dispersion exists in the central region of the bed. Moreover, the inlet configuration of bed strongly affects the distribution of lateral dispersion, while its influence on the vertical one disappears in the fountain. Strong anisotropy of solid dispersion along the three directions is obtained. Systematic dispersion intensity along the vertical direction is an order of magnitude larger than the lateral one. In addition, two circulating patterns of solid phase can be identified. Solid residence time is the smallest in the spout region and the largest in the bottom corner. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 2788–2804, 2014

'Daily Show' Pays Tribute to Longtime Writer on Last Day (Video)
Also on the late-night shows, Mark Ruffalo talks "Avengers 2," and "Transformers: Age of Extinction" actress Nicola Peltz dishes on Mark Wahlberg's real-life entourage.
The Daily Show said goodbye to its longest-serving writer Thursday.
"I've done 2,400, 2,500 of these things. We've got a writer who has done 2,800, 2,900 of them," Stewart said of J.R. Havlan, who had been with the show since its 1996 premiere. "He has — like the show — evolved. Grown from a comic-turned-writer into an accomplished writer with just a lovely wife and family."
LIST The Hollywood Reporter Reveals Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
Stewart sent Havlan off with a personalized Moment of Zen, dating back to when the writer appeared on Craig Kilborn's version of the show.
Over on CBS, Mark Ruffalo told David Letterman why playing the Hulk is the easiest gig an Avenger can have: "I don't have to work out."
PHOTOS 19 Sequels That Outgrossed the Original Movies
Jimmy Kimmel thanked guest Bob Newhart for saving his life. "I owe you a debt of gratitude. I might not be alive if it weren't for The Bob Newhart Show.
"There is a scene in one of your episodes where you invite a guy outside and then you shut the door, and I thought it was so funny.… There was an incident in high school where a guy was very angry and I locked the door behind him" and avoided a fight, he explained.
PHOTOS 'Pulp Fiction,' 'Thelma & Louise' Stars Reunite
Transformers: Age of Extinction actress Nicola Peltz recalled a crazy story of Mark Walhberg's real-life entourage, or "camp," as they call it. Two guys eat things on dares. For $200 in Shanghai one of them downed something quite shocking (watch the video to find out what it was).

Very nice but...
By WVUMom
from Martinsburg, WV
I ordered the taupe color and white in these shoes. When I opened the box I was so impressed. However, I had trouble getting them on. The opening is quite small and doesn't stretch quite far enough for me. Although I did get them on, they were tight but wearable. I'm wearing them around the house hoping that they will stretch a little. I'd give these shoes a 5 plus star rating if they would have fit better. Maybe they will fit better for others.

I keep talking with public school teachers who are miserable. They're all looking at their bank accounts trying to figure out when they can retire.
The purpose of the school system is to educate students, not to make its employees happy. Students come first. But it's hard to imagine that students are getting the best possible education when their teachers show up each morning feeling beaten and dispirited.
They say it's because of testing — too much testing, too little time to teach, testing results applied to their evaluations in ways that they say are unfair or illogical.
Some complain about Common Core standards, but testing is still the primary theme.
They are echoing a common complaint of unhappy employees. Employees are unhappy, it's said, when they have no sense of control over their work, when they think things are being done wrong but they can't do anything about it, when they don't trust management and believe management won't listen to them.
That's the classic formula, virtually guaranteed to produce low morale.
If your 65th birthday is around the corner or you're anxious about Medicare, it's a good time to start focusing on your options.
Healthcare choice is becoming a bigger factor in the lives of pre-retirees as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) — better known as Obamacare — brings significant change to employer-sponsored and individually purchased health plans.
Though a separate federal health insurance system with no connection to Obamacare or its online marketplaces, Medicare is going through its own evolution in terms of plan offerings and customer access.
Here's a basic primer for future Medicare enrollees:
• What is Medicare? Medicare is a government-provided health and hospitalization insurance program for people 65 and older and for some people under age 65 based on disability or particular forms of illness.
• What does it cost? Though you've likely paid taxes into the Medicare system your entire career, Medicare isn't a completely free program; you'll pay premiums deducted from your Social Security checks for some portions of your benefits. There may be copays and deductibles for certain services. If you have health issues already, it's a good idea to investigate coverage based on the services you're likely to need over time.
If the Valles Caldera National Preserve were a person, its epitaph would be: They tried.
What a preserve brochure called an "experiment in public land management" will end with the signing of federal legislation.
In 1997 owners of the Baca Ranch, aboriginal land of Jemez Pueblo and later a Mexican land grant, decided to sell. The 89,000-acre property might have been subdivided and sold but for the movement to keep it whole through a sale to the federal government.
The Baca wasn't just any chunk of real estate.
Within its boundaries is the Valles Caldera, a gargantuan volcanic bowl created in the Jemez Mountains by violent eruptions 1.4 million years ago. The caldera's green meadows, streams and ponds are home to a variety of wildlife.
Congress bought the ranch for $101 million in 2000. Sens. Pete Domenici and Jeff Bingaman fashioned legislation that combined public and private, ranching and recreation in a national preserve governed by an appointed board of trustees.
They were to maintain a working ranch but offer recreation, fishing and hunting while protecting the land and its creatures. And they had 15 years to make the property self-sustaining.
It offered something for everyone, and that was the problem.
Like many men, my father wanted sons, and my mother was kind enough to endure the pain of giving him five.
And like many women, my mother wanted daughters. One can understand why she was disappointed when I was born and my father was boasting yet another son to his buddies in the waiting room. But Mom was so upset over yet another XY-mouth to feed that she went into a tantrum with the nurses, throwing things and crying out that she wanted a girl.
I still own the pink baby bracelet the nurses put on me in a chromatic effort to calm her down. I'm lucky Dad didn't name me Katherine just to make amends for sharing the wrong chromosome.
As Ma lay in bed huffing and puffing over how unfair life was, the nurses brought in her roommate's baby boy. The baby had been born with no fingers, and yet the woman never once complained. She held her newborn with the accepting love that only a mother seems able to give in the worst of situations.
My mother immediately demanded to have me brought back into the room so that she could check my fingers. And of course, she ceased her ridiculous tantrum.
It was a lesson my mother never forgot, and one that benefited me by her sharing the story with me.
"This is a sea change as our nation is finally embarking on a 21st century approach with Cuba," said Tom Udall last week after President Barack Obama's announcement that the United States is abandoning its half-century old policy of pretending the island nation 90 miles off the shores of Florida didn't exist.
Only recently, the Democratic senator and Arizona's Republican Sen. Jeff Flake had traveled to Cuba and met with Cuban officials, proof if proof be needed that Cuba does indeed exist.
What hasn't existed for decades now — at least in Washington — has been the common sense and political courage to admit that a policy fashioned in the 1950s when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president had long since demonstrated itself to be an abject failure, punishing to the Cuban people without serving the interests of these United States.
To their credit, the majority of New Mexico's congressional delegation, including Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich, appears to favor the president's decision.
Democratic Rep. Michelle Luján-Grisham was decidedly mealy-mouthed in expressing her support, but only 2nd Dist. Republican Congressman Steve Pearce actually came unglued upon hearing the news, complaining that it set "an extremely dangerous precedent."
St. Nicholas is, in fact, the greatest saint in the history of Christianity. Forget Peter, Paul, or Mary; St. Nicholas has them all beat. No other saint enjoys his unique relationship to all three branches of Christianity — Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant — nor his persistent presence in secular culture.
Archbishop Nicholas of Myra and wonder-worker of the late third and early fourth century, has been and continues to be venerated ecumenically by all the various households of the Christian faith. Although rites and customs vary, some begin their remembrance of St. Nicholas as early as Dec. 6 (his feast day on the liturgical calendar) and continue to celebrate him all through the Twelve Days of Christmas until Jan. 5.
The mode or means of veneration can vary as well. The Orthodox and Catholic churches through hymns and litanies ask him to pray for us and recount the miracles attributed to his intercessions or direct intervention. Outside of church in Orthodox and Catholic cultures, children can usually expect gifts to be given in the name of St. Nicholas. It is in this tradition of giving that St. Nicholas persists in Protestant cultures. And it is unmistakably St. Nicholas even in the most dogmatically Protestant of countries (e.g. "Sinter Claas" in 17th century Holland).
Holidays can be a challenging time for residents of long-term care facilities and their families. Two questions are often asked: Can I bring my loved one home, or to a holiday celebration, and what can I do to ensure a successful visit that doesn't feel awkward?
Regarding visits away from a nursing home, residents receiving skilled nursing care may participate in short visits away from a facility without danger of losing their Medicare coverage. The Medicare Benefit Policy manual outlines rights of residents granted a short leave of absence to attend a family or religious occasion without jeopardizing their Medicare status. As long as a resident returns to the nursing home by midnight on the day of the leave, the facility may still bill Medicare for their stay. For families wishing to have a loved one home for an overnight visit, residents can leave a skilled nursing facility for short periods without losing their coverage, however, facilities may bill residents to hold their beds. For more information, visit medicareadvocacy.org/you-can-leave-the-nursing-home/. Residents who utilize Medicaid for long-term care services may also be allowed to leave a nursing home for brief periods. The state Medicaid plan covers three reserve bed days for brief home visits without prior approval. A physician's order is required for this arrangement.
There was a time when contractors building McMansion-style home additions or Michelin-worthy kitchens were a regular sight in many neighborhoods — until around 2006, when the Great Recession began to take hold.
Here's the good news: home improvements are starting to add value in a rising housing market. Here's the bad news: you have to be very careful about the renovation or remodeling projects you select to avoid over-stretching your budget.
In 2014, completing successful home improvements comes down to two critical questions, will you get most of your money back when you sell your property (the days of 100 percent-plus returns on renovations are over, at least for now) and how will project costs affect your overall financial plan?
Here are questions to fuel your planning:
• How long you plan to live in the home after the renovation. The Great Recession proved many homeowners didn't recoup elaborate — or sometimes modest — improvement costs when selling their homes. Even in a recovering market, it's good to be wary. For now, renovate for the long haul and your personal enjoyment, not overnight sale.
The letter in the Dec. 4 Los Alamos Monitor from Paul Gessing of the Rio Grande Foundation promoting the misnamed "Right-to-Work" cries out for a rational response.
Gessing continues to push the idea that "right-to-work" legislation will cure all our economic problems, supporting this idea with a long list of beneficial outcomes that he claims are associated with RTW states, in spite of the patent illogic that reducing union representation will somehow induce companies to offer higher wages, better pensions and safer working conditions to their employees. Why would they?
The statements and quotes contained in his letter are standard conservative rhetoric spread by organizations such as the Heritage Foundation, in spite of his claim that the Rio Grande Foundation is "non-partisan." This rhetoric frames the issue as protecting the rights of workers, when the legislation is actually designed to destroy the protections workers struggled for two centuries to achieve from exploitation by unscrupulous employers.
Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez recently held forth in what some might consider enemy territory.
The Belen Democrat addressed Economic Forum, an Albuquerque organization of CEOs and power brokers.
They had two things on their minds: wages and Right to Work. And, of course, the question that follows Sanchez everywhere he goes: with a new Republican majority in the House, will there be gridlock in Santa Fe?
The discussion was civil, respectful and productive, an example of what happens when people listen to each other.
Sanchez let them know up front that he's not anti-business. "I come from a family that's business-oriented," he said. He and brother Raymond, a former House Speaker, grew up in their parents' bakery and restaurant in Belen, and his law practice is a business.
He's felt the lingering recession. "In my practice it's been difficult. It's hard for people to pay. There just isn't money going around."
In a conversational tone of voice, Sanchez touched on the hot-button issues: tax cuts (he's not convinced they bring new business to the state), drought (we need a comprehensive water plan), and education (we need to listen to teachers about what works and doesn't work).
The Power Rate Adjustment provision currently in the proposed electric rate ordinance should be removed. There are sound policy reasons for opposing the provisions. But more importantly the provision violates Charter Art. 504. I apologize for the length, but I am attempting to provide useful background and analysis to help council make a considered decision.
Background: The Charter (Art. 504) defines the role of council and Board of Public Utilities in the rate process. Perhaps because there was concern about abuse of the rate process, all actions on rates must be done after public hearings by both the BPU and the council. The language in the charter is mandatory. In addition, there is no latitude for either body to deviate from charter process or to create alternate processes than may be more facile.
Most people looking at election results believe that the person with the most votes "won" and the person with the fewest votes "lost."
The real win-lose story is more complicated. Admittedly vague, this concept considers actions candidates take (or do not take) that determine the results.
A presumably stronger candidate may run a straightforward campaign and even win the vote total without "winning" the race. The determinant would be that the other candidate "lost," as did the legislative candidate who came close, but ended the campaign with money in the bank.
The example is Land Commissioner Ray Powell, whose modest campaign was not a winner, but who might slip a higher vote total from the current recount than challenger Aubrey Dunn.
Carroll Cagle has been around the policy-punditing-journalism-political scene even longer than I have, which is saying something.
He graduated from Roswell High School and edited The Daily Lobo, the University of New Mexico student newspaper. These days he does a policy and political blog for the New Mexico Prosperity Project (newmexicoprosperity.org), a voter education outfit, where he was executive director.
Our exchange of emails a few days ago is the basis for what follows.
Late on Thanksgiving eve the Obama administration released a roadmap of regulations being finalized in 2015. Within the bundle of more than 3,000 regulations lies a rule on ozone that President Barack Obama himself, in 2011, "put on ice" in effort to reduce "regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, particularly as our economy continues to recover."
So why is the rule back?
First, Obama isn't facing an election. Most believe the 2012 election was the reason for the about-face. More importantly, following the 2011 decision that struck down the proposed ozone rule, environmental groups sued the Obama administration. The resulting court order required the Environmental Protection Agency to release the proposed rule by Dec. 1.
Once again, environmental groups are in charge of America's energy, and, therefore, economic policy. They have systematically chipped away America's sources of economic strength: cost-effective energy. And we've let them.
Editor's note: The following letters were written by sixth graders from Aspen Elementary School regarding recent renovations and rededication of the school. These are the last of the letters sent to the Los Alamos Monitor.
I am loving our new building for several reasons.
First of all, I love the two stories. It really helps because we're not all squished together.
Next, the elevator is very helpful. It's helpful because if there was a student in a wheelchair, they wouldn't have to have a challenge going up the stairs. It's also helpful because if we needed to bring a heavy item upstairs, we could just put it in the elevator instead of trying to carry it up the stairs. Finally, this school is helping us learn because it's good to know that we're gong to a school that's safe and looks nice.
Thank you for investing in me and my classmates' education.
I am loving our new school for several reasons.
Back in high school, I was in a college-bowl style competition (team, buzzers, timers, etc.) that covered the span of general knowledge taught in science, math, English and history classes.
One of the questions asked was, "What is Avogadro's Constant?" The competing team hit the buzzer first and answered, "6.2 times 10 to the 23rd power."
When the moderator said, "That's correct for 40 points", I jumped out of my seat and yelled, "No! The correct value is 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power."
I then added, "In fact, it's 6.02252 times 10 to the 23rd power!" The chemistry teacher agreed, the moderator canceled the question, and the points were taken back.
My team ended up winning the competition by a mere 10 points. Thank you, Amedeo!
When I got to college, that "constant" had changed to 6.022045 10^23. Over the decades, it changed again and again, and just recently I read that it is now a constant of 6.0221413 10^23.
Avogadro's Constant is a fact. It's consistent. Stable. Steady. Unvarying. Steadfast. Unchanging!
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw is considered the top pitcher in baseball, with three Cy Young Awards in four years for the Los Angeles Dodgers, an NL Most Valuable Player award and a $215 million, seven-year contract.
Max Scherzer may be seeking an even bigger deal as his talks on the free-agent market move forward.
"I'm not sure Kershaw is relevant," agent Scott Boras said Wednesday at the winter meetings, "because he's not a free agent."
Jon Lester became the first top-level, free-agent starting pitcher to reach an agreement this offseason, a $155 million, six-year deal with the Chicago Cubs that came together late Tuesday night and still must be finalized.
Scherzer turned down an offer from Detroit last March that would have paid $144 million from 2015-20.
Kershaw, meanwhile, has the largest contract for a pitcher in total dollars and has the sport's highest average salary at $30.7 million.
"The prominent pitchers that have signed, (Justin) Verlander or (Felix) Hernandez or Kershaw, were not free-agent players," Boras said. "And certainly if you put a performance like Kershaw into a free-agent market, you're going to get a much, much different calibration of value."
Editor's note: The following letters were written by sixth graders from Aspen Elementary School regarding recent renovations and rededication of the school. Keep reading the Los Alamos Monitor for more letters.
I am loving our new building for several reasons.
First of all, the dining hall is beautiful. I especially like the quietness of the room.
Second, I like the light sails on the ceiling. They also add to the scenery down on the first floor.
Third I like the glass window next to the elevator because it is cool to see the gears of it. It will be also very helpful for disabled people.
Thank you so much for building the new school and supporting the idea.
I am loving our new building for three reasons. I am grateful for the money you spent for us and I am happy for our new classrooms and I am grateful for the technology. Thank you so much for our new school.
I am loving our new building for several reasons.
First of all, the thing I'm most excited about is the new technology. In the portable, we could not use the internet all at the same time because it would cut us off.
A second reason is the new desks and chairs. They are so helpful for our binders because now we can hang them and not trip over them.
Journalists are quick to go after elected officials who cross the line, so a skeptical public should know that we're just as quick to go after one of our own. Sometimes too quick.
In writing about the Interstate Stream Commission's decision on the Gila River, I ran across a scuffle in which one newshound accuses another of conflict of interest.
This is not just a family squabble. Because a lot of work gets farmed out to contractors, consultants and freelancers, it's worth a look.
Mary Alice Murphy was a reporter for the Silver City Daily Press. She retired in late 2007, but continued with the paper as a freelancer.
In September 2008, an Arizona Water Settlement Act committee asked her to create a website, take minutes and post agendas. The newspaper reported this on its front page. She was paid alternately by the county, the ISC, or the Gila Conservation Coalition and at times did the work gratis.
In September 2010, Murphy stopped freelancing for the Daily Press. By then, her independent website, The Grant County Beat (grantcountybeat.com) was operating. It's a great community resource, but she works on the side to support it.
Editor's note: The following letters were written by sixth graders from Aspen Elementary School regarding recent renovations and rededication of the school. There are more letters to come, so keep reading the Los Alamos Monitor.
I love our new building for several reasons.
First of all the look is amazing. It really gives the building a modern feel. Also the playground looks amazing, and an amazing coincidence, the blow dryers in the bathrooms are the same as ones I've used before that I encountered in this new building!
I am enjoying our new school building for several reasons.
First of all, we have larger classrooms. The larger rooms hold more equipment for more in-class projects. Second, we have more books in the library. More books means more sources to study with. Last, this new building is safer than the other. The older building was falling apart, literally!
Thank you all for our beautiful new building!
Why should we thank you? Because you, yes you, said yes to us. You gave us a brand new school.
If Colorado's leaders are smarter than those in New Mexico, something I don't believe, they can't be that much smarter.
After all, to determine our performance in a host of categories, we can freeload off Colorado and save work and money.
The reference here is to the just-released 10th edition of "Toward a More Competitive Colorado," a comprehensive look at nine general categories, each with up to a dozen components. To find the report, go to metrodenver.org and look in the research and reports section.
New Mexico's various national rankings are what this column and the next are about. But the other important point, maybe the important point, is that things can change and change for the better. In 2013, Colorado was third for job growth. It was 49th in 2002 after what the report calls "the 'dot.bomb' recession."
Many of the comparisons are ugly. But facing these things offers a place to begin a vision. Colorado seems to be in the top handful on just about everything. New Mexico, well, not so much.
Necessarily the report deals with the past. Most tables use data through 2013. In the present, New Mexico tied Idaho for 34th place among the states in job production performance between October 2013 and 2014. Alaska was the only state losing jobs during the year.

Twitter finally feathers its nest with advertising
That will pressure advertisers to be pithy and creative, a priority that could make the marketing messages seem less intrusive, said Forrester Research analyst Josh Bernoff, co-author of "Groundswell," a book on social media.
"You want to create something that interests people rather than just screams at them," Bernoff said.
Michael Wilson, a Brigham Young University student who lives in Salt Lake City, is worried Twitter's advertisers eventually will dominate the service.
"I think it's going to be harder and harder to have your voice heard," he said.
Many companies already use their own Twitter accounts to connect with customers and offer discounts to people who follow them.
What remains to be seen is whether Twitter's new advertising system will prove effective enough to persuade companies to pay for a featured spot in the search results instead of just trying to reach people through the free communications channel.
There's no doubt Twitter has turned into a mass medium. The Web site's worldwide audience has ballooned to 69 million people, up from 4 million people at the end of 2008, according to comScore Inc. Those figures don't include the visitors who use their mobile phones or third-party programs to tweet.
Twitter says it distributes about 50 million tweets per day, creating ample opportunities for more advertising once the company is comfortable enough to allow marketing messages beyond its search results. Twitter's engine processes about 30 million monthly searches in the U.S., comScore said, a pittance compared to the 10 billion handled by Google.
Eventually, Twitter hopes to insert advertisers into the "timelines" of messages that users see from the people they network with - when the message seems appropriate, Costolo said Tuesday at an advertising conference in New York. For instance, postings about the Academy Awards might provoke a "promoted tweet" about a new movie or conversations about "American Idol" may spur ads about certain songs or recording artists.
Twitter also recently introduced a feature that allows its users to specify their location, opening another advertising opportunity.
The ability to interact more directly with consumers and solicit their feedback on how to improve their products and services is bound to appeal to advertisers, predicted Ian Wolfman, chief marketing officer at IMC2, a marketing agency whose clients include Coca-Cola Co. and Procter & Gamble Co. It's "something a TV ad doesn't do," he said.
Promoted tweets evidently won't bring in much revenue, at least at first.
Virgin America, one of the advertisers that Twitter invited to test the concept, isn't paying for its first burst of promotional messages, according to Porter Gale, the airline's vice president of marketing.
Twitter declined to comment when asked whether it's charging the test group of advertisers. But Costolo made it clear that making money still isn't Twitter's top priority.
"Initially this is not about maximizing revenue," he said. "It is about getting it right."
