DOWNEY – While students spend their time during school hustling to make grades and money, whether they plan or leave it to spontaneity, spring break seems to be a time to relax and let all of that go.
Students today have a lot to juggle, and with the rising prices of tuition and gas, working is something that many students find necessary. Balancing grades, work and a social life can be difficult, and many students are forced to sacrifice social time for more adult responsibilities.
That said, spring break is a time away from all of that – temporarily. While pushing through the school year can be a difficult and stressful task, spring break allows students to refuel, however they choose, before the downhill slope of the rest of the semester. Whether students plan out their vacations or prefer a more spontaneous route, many students plan to take the time off.
"I'm not much of a planner, and I probably won't choose something until a couple of days before," said Warren High School alum Ashley Long-Labaar. "I am really looking forward to time off from school though. This semester especially has been super stressful, so I am going to try to make the most of my short break. If I did have a plan for break, it would be to get as far away from my house as possible; I'm thinking maybe San Diego, Vegas or Palm Springs – I'm not sure yet."
Others have more concrete plans.
"I definitely have a camping trip planned with a few friends," said Downey High School alum and Downey resident David Simpson. "I'm still debating whether to go to Joshua Tree or a spot my friend knows about that's a bit closer. Along with that, I have a plan to visit Nor Cal for two days to visit Berkeley and a couple other schools up there. I want to take the time to scope it out, see what they have to offer."
So while students are making at least preliminary plans, what is motivating them to choose the activities they choose?
"I'm taking some time off because I work full time to pay for school expenses and gas," said Warren alum and Downey resident Christian Perez. "I really want to go to Venice Beach, because I feel like my spring break should actually be spent relaxing. I also want to catch up on reading because I don't have as much time during school."
Simpson feels similarly.
"Camping is a trip for pleasure," said Simpson. "Just kickin' it and escaping the hustle and bustle of the city life. The trip to visit the school on the other hand is a motivational thing. I'm just about ready to transfer, and see the schools that I believe will get me pumped for the next step….I need some motivation!"
So, the results seem to be an even mix. Some students enjoy catching up with work and having a more planned vacation, while others enjoy a more spontaneous and relaxed break – but it seems that most students could agree on one thing.
"Spring breaks should be longer than one week!" said Perez.

During a practice session Tuesday morning, in preparation for the fourth grade book sale scheduled for Wednesday through Friday at Washington Elementary School, kindergarten students, Dustin Wilson, 5, purchases the book "Mango Hill," by Diana Hansen-Young, while Ellie Miller, 5, waits to buy "Rapunzel." Fourth graders, Jonathan Harris and Adelina Kukosh, were on hand to make change for the students.
Faith Bemiss/Democrat
The books are being sold this week for 25-cents each to help raise money for students to buy new books on March 18, at the Children's Literature Festival in Warrensburg. The Sedalia Literacy Counsel sponsors the students so they can attend the festival, and the book sale allows each student to purchase a new book while there. Helping with the sale are the fourth grade classes taught by Ryan Turner and Jennifer Arnwine. While other students look at the selection Mario Perez, fourth grade, smiles after he decided on a book titled, "The Secrets of Vesuvius."

If you enjoy Halloween, dressing up or both, then we've got just the contest for you.
And if you've got a costume, flaunt it; if your children get all decked out, show them off; if your co-workers have fun with the season, promote them, with proper permission, of course, and if you want to see them win, come Nov. 4 start voting for them.
It's all possible with the start of Claiborne Progress's Virtual Costume Party, an online and print offering brought to readers and web browsers by the paper and its advertising supporters, including Heartland Medical of New Tazewell, the sponsor of the Cutest Costume category.
There are plenty of reasons to enter, not the least of which is the good, clean Halloween fun it offers, coupled with yet another chance to show off your children and their cutest, scariest and coolest costumes. However, this contest isn't just for kids. Everyone can get in on the fun — teenagers, adults and even groups, all who can participate in the newspaper's newest online contest.
Be thinking now about what you want to enter when we start taking submissions on Oct. 20.
The costume contest is a fun competition that allows us and you, both our print readers and our online visitors, an opportunity to have some fun and kick off what has become the start of the holiday season.
All you have to do is visit www.claiborneprogress.net, click on the Virtual Costume Party logo and follow the simple directions to first upload photos, and later to cast votes. You can start uploading on Oct. 20.
And, naturally, watch the paper — the website and Facebook — to see who's entered and, once voting begins, who's leading the pack. There will be surprises along the way, just a little something to pique your interest and, again, to promote all those people we hope will be entered in the contest.
Everyone can participate. All you really need is an email address. Everything about the contest is free, including the fun you'll have uploading pictures and watching as the contest grows and all those pictures begin popping up on the website, Facebook and in the newspaper.
What's not to love? After all, it's trick or treat fun that carries on over into November as we get into the holiday spirit and stay that way as we move into a time of honor for our veterans, a time of thanks during Thanksgiving and a time of joy and peace during the Christmas season.
Much thanks should go to our advertising sponsor Heartland Medical, for without them contests like these would not be possible.
When you see the staff of Heartland Medical, please thank them for helping make this contest possible. And support them whenever and however you can. After all, they are a big part of this contest and an even bigger part of this community.
Because of Heartland Medical's generous sponsorship the winner of the Cutest Costume category will receive a $50 prize. Winners in other categories will receive bragging rights until next year!
We, at the Claiborne Progress, hope you have fun with the contest, entering as often as the rules will allow, and, when the time comes, voting … often.
Enjoy it and all those colorful and fun costumes as you peruse the online site. They're sure to make you smile and, in doing so, make your day a whole light brighter.
Who's got the best costume? We don't know yet, but it just might be yours.

The Notebook (2014)
Twin siblings enduring the harshness of WWII in a village on the Hungarian border hedge their survival on studying and learning from the evil surrounding them. Towards the end of World War II, a desperate young mother leaves her 13‐year‐old twin sons at their grandmother's house in the Hungarian countryside, despite the fact that this grandmother is a cruel and bestial alcoholic. Previously pampered, the twins must learn how to survive alone in their new, rural surroundings. They realize that the only way to cope with the absurd and inhumane world of adults and war is to become completely unfeeling and merciless.

(1923-2007). The Naked and the Dead was published in 1948 when its author, Norman Mailer, was 25. It has been noted as one of the best war novels of the 20th century. His next few books did not win similar critical acclaim, probably because their themes lacked general appeal. They were nevertheless widely read because Mailer-like Tom Wolfe-uses a vivid journalistic style to depict the quirks and flaws of life in the United States in the mid-20th century.

Named for an interesting astronomical phenomenon, 'H-Alpha' references a deep red spectral line, which can be used to observe certain features in the sun's atmosphere. The naked human eye cannot look directly at the sunshine for more than a moment, even from such a great distance as Earth's surface. Because of this fact, we can only imagine the beauty of the sun its fullness - it is left a mystery to us as humans.
Comparable to the mysteries of the sun is the thrill of chasing a beautiful woman. Many viewers have described this metallic design as resembling the golden silky hair of a mesmerizing stranger; an enigma who leaves you restless, to whom you would give anything to share a single moment. Nicholas has managed to capture the essence of this idea in his 'H-Alpha' by hand grinding long, smooth, sweeping waves into a warm copper metal panel.
To complete a piece like this, the artist absolutely must have perfect concentration and technique. Even the smallest of mistakes - one tremble of the arm, twitch of the leg, or slip of the hand - would take away from the utter perfection of the finished product. Nicholas clearly showcases his incredible talent and superb attention to detail in this one of a kind beauty. You will find that your eyes can't help but follow the smooth, twisting waves and watch as the light reflects in hues of copper and gold.
Copper artwork is a timeless trend in sophisticated, modern design. The neutral shades of taupe and brown that have taken over the decor isles in the department stores are accented perfectly by the rich golden red tones seen in copper wall art. Take a look at the photos in the gallery on this page to see what this mystical metal wall art might look like on the walls of your own home or office.

Playing in Pueblo hadn't been pretty for Dakota Ridge in recent years.
In 2005 and 2007, the Eagles' football season came to a close in the city to the south.
This year, that all changed.
Dakota Ridge, the No. 14 seed in the 16-team Class 4A state football tournament, toppled previously unbeaten and third-seeded Pueblo South 37-22 to advance to the quarterfinals.
LAKEWOOD — Zane Norris.
Perhaps no one else on the current Columbine roster reflects why the Rebels have been the state's elite football program over the past decade better than he.
After all, how many other teams can throw a linebacker into its starting backfield and have him rush for over 100 yards and score three touchdowns?
For Columbine, the shuffling of players has always been an Andy Lowry tradition, but this year it's become a necessity.
Eight members of the Columbine football team have been suspended for the team's Nov. 8 Class 5A state playoff second-round game against Arvada West, local media reports indicate.
On Nov. 1, a party was held, and about 90 students from Columbine High attended. According to Columbine athletic director Ed Woytek, 65 students were cited with minor-in-possession tickets by police.
LAKEWOOD — With circumstances piling up against them, Chatfield's boys soccer team were just 12 seconds away from leveling the playing field against Regis.
Yes, the Chargers would have missed dismissed co-captain Billy LaGreca in a penalty shootout, but they would get to hang a lot hope on goalkeeper Aaron Sarfaty, who had played great for more than 109 minutes.
FORT COLLINS — It turns out the only footsteps Evan Appel heard were his own as he sprinted down the home stretch Oct. 25.
The Dakota Ridge senior was driven by a wealth of emotions, from the fear of being caught to the pressure of repeating as Class 5A state champions and the need to give the Eagles a great finish to a frustrating day.
He needed just 15 minutes, 20.24 seconds to do it all.
ARVADA — Columbine is a football team that will enter the 2008 Class 5A state tournament with more than a few concerns.
Primary among them is the health of junior quarterback Danny Spond. Spond was knocked out of the Rebels' Oct. 24 showdown with Pomona in the first quarter after sustaining a hit to his throwing shoulder. Spond, who missed two games earlier in the season nursing a similar shoulder injury, did not return.
LAKEWOOD — Changing things up is sometimes good advice to follow.
Just ask the Columbine volleyball team.
When the Rebels' play started to get stale and they took two big losses to Class 5A Jefferson County League rivals Lakewood and Chatfield late in the season, the Rebels knew change was on the way.
LAKEWOOD — The playoffs begin this week for the Chatfield Chargers and it might not take long for things to look eerily familiar.
Either that or the Chargers will have to call the Class 5A postseason their "Redemption Tour."
The Chargers slumped to fifth in the Big 8 League standings Oct. 24 after suffering a wild 39-37 defeat to Arvada West at Jefferson County Stadium.
LAKEWOOD — The Chatfield Chargers have shown during the boys soccer regular season that they have plenty of talent.
The Chargers have solid goalkeeping, a seamless defense, a midfield that can play the ball direct or wide to either wing, and plenty of forwards and attacking midfielders that can finish. So ee
Columbine held its Senior Night on Oct. 17, but it was Chatfield's lone senior that stole the show.
In a Class 5A Jefferson County League volleyball match that featured big hitters on both sides of the net, Alysa Heath emerged as the most dominant force.

PA Department of Health Confirms the First Human Case of West Nile Virus in Pennsylvania for 2009
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — State Health Secretary Everette James today reported this year's first confirmed human case of West Nile virus in Pennsylvania. The individual is a 21-year-old woman from Luzerne County.
"The number of cases of West Nile disease has declined significantly in the past five years but this season's first case is a reminder that the disease is still out there," Secretary James said. "You can take precautions to protect yourself from this deadly disease."
James recommended these simple precautions to prevent mosquito bites, particularly for those most at risk which include the elderly and those with compromised immune systems:
- Make sure screens fit tightly over doors and windows to keep mosquitoes out of your home;
- When possible, reduce outdoor exposure at dawn and dusk, the times of day when the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus are most active, during the warmer months of the year (usually April through October);
- Consider wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks when outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk, or in areas known for having large numbers of mosquitoes;
- Use insect repellents according to the manufacturer's instructions. Effective repellents contain DEET. Consult a doctor if you have concerns about the use of repellent on young children, as repellent is not recommended for children under the age of two months. Two other insect repellants, Picaridin (KBR 3023) and oil of lemon eucalyptus, a plant based repellent, were tested against mosquitoes and provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET.
Pennsylvanians can also reduce the risk of West Nile virus by eliminating the places where mosquitoes breed.
Here are some simple steps that can be taken around the house:
- Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, discarded tires, or any object on your property that could collect standing water.
- Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors.
- Have roof gutters cleaned every year, particularly if the leaves from nearby trees have a tendency to clog the drains.
- Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use.
- Don't let water stagnate in birdbaths.
- Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish.
- Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and remove standing water from pool covers.
- Use landscaping to eliminate standing water that collects on your property.
- Standing water that cannot be eliminated should be treated with Bti products, which are sold at outdoor supply, home improvement, and other stores. Bti is a naturally occurring bacterium that kills mosquito larvae but is safe for people, pets, aquatic life and plants.
West Nile virus is spread to people and animals by infected mosquitoes. Usually, the infection does not result in any illness. Older adults and persons with compromised immune systems are at greatest risk of becoming ill after a West Nile infection.
The disease can take two forms; the milder of which is known as West Nile fever. In addition to fever, people with this form of the disease may also experience headache, body aches, skin rash, and swollen lymph glands. The more severe form of West Nile infection is known as encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain). People with encephalitis may experience high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and coma. Anyone with any of these symptoms should immediately contact their health care provider.
There is no specific treatment for West Nile virus. For severe cases, hospitalization is needed and illness can be associated with long-term disabilities and death.
Since West Nile was first identified in Pennsylvania in 2000, the virus has been found in all areas of the state and has returned each summer.
In 2008, there were 14 human West Nile Virus cases that resulted in one death. In 2007, there were 10 human cases and no deaths. In 2006, there were nine human cases and two deaths. In 2005, there were 25 human cases and two deaths. In 2004, there were 15 human cases and two deaths.
For more information about West Nile virus, including current test results for mosquitoes, birds and horses, visit www.westnile.state.pa.us or call the Department of Health at 1-877-PA HEALTH.

Last night's Golden Globe Awards certainly made for an action-packed evening filled with fabulous red carpet looks, exciting speeches and endless photo opportunities for our favorite stars.
And while we certainly enjoyed eyeing all of the gorgeous gowns and dazzling accessories on the red carpet, we also love to see how the stars wind down and celebrate the rest of the evening once the official show is over.
There's always a handful of star-studded after parties to scope out, and luckily for us, that means a wardrobe change for plenty of pretty celebs.
This year was no exception!
NEWS: Vanessa Hudgens shines in gold afterparty dress
Taylor Swift swapped out her elegant Carolina Herrera gown for a sexy knit black dress by Julien Macdonad and kicked up her heels in strappy Jimmy Choo sandals.
Sofía Vergara and Nina Dobrev turned heads in sparkly dresses baring major cleavage for the ultimate glamorous vibe, and Vanessa Hudgens stunned in a golden gown with a plunging neckline by Giorgio Armani to cap off the celebratory night.
PHOTOS: Twitpics and Instagrams from the 2014 Golden Globes
Kelly Osbourne and Emma Watson ditched their red carpet looks from earlier in the evening and changed into more playful frocks that allowed for easy movement, while other stars who didn't attend the show at all, likeMiranda Kerr and Uma Thurman, made a big splash at the afterparties looking fresh-faced and well-rested to enjoy the festivities well into the early hours.
Oh what a night, indeed!
Which afterparty look is your favorite?

Bellingham to Brazil, not coming back

Por La Tierra
Joined: Mar 2012
Location: Madrid, the coolest city on the planet.
Oddometer: 129
I bought a new bike, I'm moving out of my apartment by the sea, and I've getting ready for my summer adventures, thanks for being patient!
First lets say goodbye to my home for the last 8 months, the coastal region of Murcia.
Today starts with an early morning in Cartagena. I haven't updated for a while because I have been busy with a bit of work, but more importantly with getting my EU drivers license. The preparation was worth it because I passed all 5 tests (2 car 3 motorcycle) on the first try and became the first one in Autoescuela Campillo, my driving school, to have done so.
Here's a shot of the little bike I took the tests on.
I also bought a new motorcycle for myself, and sold the other one of course.
So let the RR begin, I celebrated my victory with a sandwich (2.50) and a good dark beer at my favorite sandwich shop. Cartagena is a cool city and a bit chaotic for a drive test. But I had been racing around its streets on my own bike for weeks, to get to know it better rather than paying for classes like they want you to. It was a little sketchy ever since my international license expired but I was lucky and it saved me lots of cash. In Spain they give you a headset and a bike, and they follow you in a car, it was an interesting experience.
To be honest, it was a good exam, you have to know how to ride to pass it and that is a good thing.
I think I was the only one that drove myself to all the drive tests!
Ok, so heres the sandwich.
And my shiny new ride:
Leaving the sandwich shop I wanted to take a look at "Algemeca Chica," a small community on the outskirts of Cartagena.
Down this tree lined highway
Its a beautiful location and a very chill spot in general but by the looks of things, probably not too comfortable for year round living. Unfortunately for some folks they may not have another choice. Times are tough in Spain.
From there I hopped on the highway and rode for a while until I saw an unmarked building with some folks sipping coffee on the patio. It was on the side of the road near the turn off to Portman so I decided to check it out. It was hot and I was thirsty.
It was a simple place and the scenery reminded me again of the Southwest of the US.
From there things changed dramatically. I entered in to the mining area.
You can see the color of the water, similar to the mines near my little apartment but the ones near Portman and La Union are HUGE. Its a never ending mine. The highway twists and turns through the strangely colored landscape.
and the town of Portman, once a mining town, it's now in fast decline.
The "Port" of Portman is the site of one of the worst ecological disasters in the Mediterranean. A company called Peñarroya-España paid off the officials to let them dump thousands of tons of waste and mining bi-products directly into the sea. From up above you can see that what was once a bay, is now filled in with a strange colored sand. They dumped so much waste that it filled in the bay.
Regardless of this saddening sight, this part of Murcia has some great riding. The bizarre colors of the earth, the abandoned mining towns and, if you dont mind a little dirt riding, you can pass through the mining areas and head towards the coast to some great beaches. I continued my ride inland and then noticed an intriguing dirt road heading to what looked like the perfect beach paradise.
Bellingham to Brazil (eventually)

When we found out that One Direction would be releasing a film which followed their every move we assumed that this wasn't meant in the literal sense.
One Direction have filmed scenes for their movie in the toilets. Copyright [Rex]
Then we found out that scenes for the upcoming movie had been filmed at last night's BRIT awards- in the toilet.
Err, we may skip past that scene.
The film's director Morgan Spurlock, famous for his documentary 'Super Sized Me,' joined the boys at the award ceremony last night, filming the aforementioned toilet scene.
Talking to Bang Showbiz, Niall Horan said: "Mr. Spurlock is here himself, we're shooting a movie, he's actually just been in the toilet with us, and its gonna be very access all areas!
"It's coming out in August."
Liam Payne then added: "That's when you can see us in the toilet."
[Related story: All the backstage pictures from the BRITs]
[Related story: Caroline Flack hits the Brits with food poisoning]
Whether or not this toilet footage will become as iconic as the shower scene in Psycho is yet to be determined.
Although we won't hold our breath on that one.

Last night One Direction took home the Global Success award thanks to their overwhelming pop dominance across the planet.
Talking about the honour, Niall, 19, admitted that it was a great way to kick start the band's 63 day date European tour.
He said: "This was a good start to the week, because on Saturday we open up our tour at the O2, so it's going to be a great year. Very exciting."
Very exciting indeed.

Padres Pregame: Difficult part of schedule ahead
BALTIMORE, Md. The Padres visit Baltimore Tuesday and Wednesday on leg two of what has to be the toughest part of their 2013 schedule.
Over the next 13 days, the Padres play 12 games against one division leader (St. Louis) and three division runnersup (Baltimore, Washington and Arizona).
Following two games at Camden Yards Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon (morning in San Diego), the Padres fly across the country to open a four-game series with the Washington Nationals. To make matters more interesting, native son and San Diego State product Stephen Strasburg will start Thursday night's game for the Nationals.
The Padres will remain home for three games with National League Central-leading St. Louis before hitting the road for three games in Arizona to open a five-game road trip.
The immediate concern, however, are the Orioles, who trail the American League East-leading Yankees by a game.
This will be the fourth time that the Padres and Orioles have met in interleague play and will be the Padres second visit to Camden Yards. The Padres are 4-5 against the Orioles and 1-2 at Camden Yards.
During the Padres 2002 visit to Baltimore, right-hander Brian Lawrence (now the pitching coach at Single-A Lake Elsinore) tied a major league record when he threw nine straight strikes to open the game to strike out the side.
Baltimore is on a 16-8 run after a 7-7 start. One of the keys to the Orioles success is outfielder Adam Jones. The San Diego native is hitting .321 with five homers, 25 RBIs and 28 runs scored. Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is tied for the A.L. lead with 11 homers and second in RBI with 37.
Freddy Garcia, who failed to make the Padres rotation in spring training, is with the Orioles (0-1, 4.26 ERA in two starts) and will start Tuesday's series finale (9:35 a.m. in San Diego).
The Padres are 4-4 over their last eight games despite hitting .194 as a team and averaging 3.6 runs per game. Sixteen of their last 29 runs have come off homers.
Carlos Quentin will start in left Tuesday night with Mark Kotsay filling the designated hitter role against right-handed Orioles starter Chris Tillman.
RHP Andrew Cashner will start for the Padres.
PADRES (16-21) at ORIOLES (23-15)
Time: 4:05 p.m. Game: 1 of 2
TV: Fox Sports San Diego
Radio: 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)s
Today's matchup
Padres RHP Andrew Cashner (2-2, 3.23 ERA)
Cashner vs. the Orioles: First meeting.
Cashner at Camden Yards: First appearance.
Cashner, 26, will be making his fifth start of the season. Since joining the rotation on April 20, Cashner is 2-2 with a 2.95 ERA. This will be Cashner's first start since May 6 when he shut out the Marlins on four hits and three walks over 7 1/3 innings. He is 0-2 in his two road starts (San Francisco and Chicago) with a 6.75 ERA. Rival hitters are batting .220 against Cashner.

18 September 2013 14:16 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US chemicals and building products firm Axiall said on Wednesday that outage and turnaround costs, as well as lower chlor-alkali and vinyls prices and margins, would cut into its underlying 2013 third-quarter operating earnings.
Axiall said that because of costs from outages and turnarounds, third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation would be about $10-12m (€8m-9m) lower than it had expected in its previous update from 1 August.
"Since that time, we elected to extend our planned VCM [vinyl chloride monomer] and PVC [polyvinyl choride] turnarounds to further improve reliability," CEO Paul Carrico said in a statement.
"Also, we accelerated two turnarounds from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the third quarter in our aromatics and chlorinated derivatives businesses," Carrico said.
"We expect the combined impact of the operating plan changes in maintenance and the associated reductions in operating rates to be approximately $10-12m of lower third-quarter adjusted EBITDA, as compared to our original expectation," he said.
Additionally, current market prices and margins in Axiall's chlor-alkali and vinyls businesses were trending lower than expected, which will likely have a further negative impact on third-quarter adjusted EBITDA, he said.
"Long-term, we remain confident that our integrated chemicals and building products business will continue to benefit from low-cost natural gas in North America and growing global demand for our broadened product portfolio," Carrico added.

The influenza outbreak of 1918-19 killed 50 million people--more than three times the number killed in World War I.
Many sporting events were able to continue that year--the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 in 1918 to win their last World Series for a long time--but others ended up bowing out due to the tragic international epidemic.
The Stanley Cup final in March of 1919 pitted the Seattle Metropolitans against the Montreal Canadiens.
The teams played five games in a best of five, but with one game ending in a tie, the series was knotted at two wins apiece headed into the decisive game.
However, a number of Canadiens players had caught the flu at that point. While they attempted to forfeit the series, the Metropolitans did not accept, and so the series was called off.
Joe Hall, a defenseman for the Canadians, died from pneumonia--a complication from the flu--just a few days after the series was cancelled.

In Depth interviews - Feb. 12
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 7:34pm EST
This is the In Depth show blog. Here you can listen to the interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day and links to additional resources.
Today's guests:
Professor of government contracting law
University of Baltimore Law School
Furloughs are already on the table for your agency if sequestration happens. But there might be a way to dodge most, if not all of them trimming service contracts. Charles Tiefer, professor of government contracting law at the University of Baltimore Law School and a former member of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan joins In Depth to discuss alternative sequestration savings.
Could cutting service contracts avert sequestration furloughs?
Government Executive
The Postal Service is knee-deep in red ink. Saturday delivery of first-class mail is going away, and more cost-cutting measures are probably on the way. But, for the most part, the agency's financial woes are not of its own doings. Tom Shoop, editor-in-chief of Government Executive, joins In Depth with more.

National Treasury Employees Union
A shrinking workforce is leaving the Internal Revenue Service in a tight spot. A tight budget means fewer employees, and tax season is already right around the corner. Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, joins In Depth to discuss how the IRS workforce is coping with tighter budgets and reduced staff levels.

MRC Map 20: Lower Grey Cloud Island
River mile: 824 - 819
Baldwin Lake (822.5 to 825.5 E) provides excellent backwater paddling and birdwatching. Eagles are frequently seen fishing in the main channel and in the treetops.
Large volumes of sand and gravel are mined on Lower Grey Cloud Island (821 to 825 E). Most of it is shipped out on barges.
Spring Lake (815.2 to 823 W) is a broad and windswept backwater, but be careful-before Lock and Dam 2 was built, it was a floodplain forest and those stumps are still there, just below the surface. Be careful when boating!
Lower Spring Lake Park Reserve (822 W) features a scenic overlook and picnic area at Schaars Bluff.
Grey Cloud Dunes Scientific and Natural Area (821 E) is a 220-acre preserve popular with birders and hikers.
The Mississippi River Trail route passes through Cottage Grove to Highway 61. Before it crosses the river to enter Hastings, one branch splits off to follow Highway 10 to Prescott, Wis.
Note that this map is at a different scale than most of the other maps.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
"Cumbiamuffin," these five Monterrey fiesta-throwers call one dub-selector track, and "muffin" doesn't just mean "raga." But their chili-peppered fratboy mojo is balanced by high nasal toasting, Algerian rai mourning, spy movie and Art Ensemble trumpets, "Wrong 'Em Boyo" swipes, acoustic strums climbing stairways to heaven, and fiddle breakdowns played on accordion. Radio call-in shout-outs over 1980-vintage Sugarhill timbales kick open a tropical-ska sound system that refuses to shut down or stay put.
Zemog, El Gallo Bueno
Rooster-and-metal-obsessed Puerto Rican transplant to Massachusetts Abraham Gomez-Delgado wants to see how disruptive a mess his 10-piece can make on top while still maintaining rhythm. So he presents his art-salsa a proghorn-leghorn cockfight-rock, tunes his ax low enough to double as a bass, and lets his Coltrane-solo-transcribing baritone saxist bleat ghostly free-jazz. The singing, which alternates between simulating emotion and mocking it, can tend toward cardboard. But the extended chicken-coop solos never do.
Jenni Rivera
Homenaje a Las Grandes
A curvy redhead single mom and corrido star from Long Beach with a business administration degree, this reigning border diva never misses a chance to be melodramatic. Giggles and hiccups, trills and filigrees, Greek choruses and MC intros, coocoo-roocoo-loo!'s and ooh-yaa-ungh!'s, over a horn section turning New Orleans brothel boogie-woogie and Munich Oktoberfest oompah into bandas and norteños, and low-rider soul into mariachi Streisand/ Celine/Supremes. As eclectic as any rock en españoland eclecticism's never the point. The two bawdiest-sounding songs mention tequila; one has a title owing Las Ketchup.

I revisited the .pdf file from Kodak. There is enogh here to study for a week.
There are a great deal of "caveats", especially directed at the *extrapolation* of data and the projections of the future performance of the color papers in question. Three, or, at best, four "data points" observed over a time span of one year are extrapolated to infer perfromance as far as 200 years in the future.
I would pay particular attention to the discussion of "ambient environmental factors". I know that one museum in the Boston area is now preserving photographs, art, and other documents in gas-tight frames filled with argon gas - and there has been ongoing discussion into the effects of acid-freee, Ph balanced, Lignin-free matting .... and quite possibly, the effect of the local Brujo's spells .... and the position of Jupiter and the Plieades ....
Anyhow ... I *LIKE* Ilfocolor, especially when processed in JOBO/Tetenal chemicals.

General Information
As Cleveland and Akron prepare to host athletes in 35 sports for the 2014 Gay Games presented by the Cleveland Foundation this summer, Kent State University senior design students from its celebrated Fashion School will take the competition to the runway on May 7th in the Kent Student Center Ballroom (Kent campus). The university will conduct an on-campus student competition called the Garment Games – Inclusion by Design that will culminate with a "Project Runway"-style modeling and judging event and musical performances by singer-songwriter Skylar Grey in tribute and celebration of the spirit and purpose of the Gay Games.
Tickets for the Garment Games go on sale April 7 and are available online at http://kentstate.universitytickets.com. Tickets are $5 for Kent State students, $10 for general admission and $15 for floor and chairback seats in the MAC Center.
Sportswear Competition
The senior fashion design students have been tasked to design outfits that respond to the values of the event for the two co-chairs of the Gay Games 9 Board of Directors to wear during the opening ceremonies of the Gay Games. A model runway show will be held May 7 starting at 6:30 p.m. to showcase, judge and determine the winning male and female garment designs. Twelve teams of two Fashion School students are competing.
Gay Games
In addition to the runway show, the event will be intermixed with messages from Kent State leadership and other individuals about the importance of diversity, inclusion and support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community while creating awareness of the Gay Games coming in August. During three breaks, GRAMMY-nominated artist Grey will give musical performances.
About Skylar Grey
Grey is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is responsible for co-writing some of the most memorable songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and iTunes sales charts, totaling more than 25 million singles globally. Included in Forbes magazine's list of music talent in the 2012 "30 Under 30" issue alongside Adele, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Drake and Bruno Mars, Grey is already a highly regarded singer and songwriter since the release of her single "C'Mon Let Me Ride" featuring Eminem debuted in December 2012 and received more than 4 million views in the first three days.
Grey has made a name for herself having co-wrote the biggest-selling single of 2010: Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," which earned her two GRAMMY Award nominations for Best Song and Best Rap Song of the Year. She also co-wrote and appeared on Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor," which she performed alongside Dre and Eminem on the 2011 GRAMMY Awards telecast and for which she was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards. In January 2012, Grey released "The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey," which featured special acoustic performances by Grey of three songs she wrote and produced: the original demo of "Love the Way Part III" (the original "Love the Way You Lie" made popular by Eminem and Rihanna), "Coming Home Part II" (originally performed by Diddy-Dirty Money) and "Words" (originally "Words I Never Said," performed by Lupe Fiasco).
About the Judges
The Kent State students competing in the Garment Games will be judged by three professionals in the fashion industry: Erich Biehle, a Swiss textile designer who presently lectures at different universities in the United States and works as a consultant for many renowned fashion brands; R. Scott French, who designs contemporary men's and women's sportswear after co-founding and designing the French Jenny lingerie collection, and a faculty member at the Kent State Fashion School's New York City Studio; and Valerie Mayen, a Cleveland-based designer and artist who owns Yellowcake Shop on Cleveland's near West Side and was a contestant on "Project Runway" Season 8. Campbell of Kent State's Fashion School will serve as the host judge, organizing the judging and awards process.

Re: Amuse me, sailing small boat offshore.
I'm not an expert, and I haven't crossed an ocean by sail yet, so take this for what its worth.
You've got 3 large variables here, the design of the boat, the condition of the boat, and the experience of the skipper. The design has to be strong enough for the conditions, and it has to be conducive to the necessary equipment and storage needs. The condition of the boat is just as important. A boat designed for very rough conditions can fail horribly if the condition isn't maintained. Then the experience of the skipper in knowing how to outfit the boat, how to handle it in all conditions, and how to fix anything that breaks. Having a boat that was designed to handle the expected conditions, in very good condition with an experienced skipper increases the odds of a safe and successful voyage, but doesn't guarantee it. For a couple of examples of what can go wrong:
Boat not designed for offshore, in medium condition, somewhat experienced crew:
EQUIPPED TO SURVIVE (tm) - Lessons Learned: Sailing to Hawaii...The First Attempt by Arnold Rowe
Boat designed for offshore, very experienced single-hander, but apparently the standing rigging was not in good condition (dismasted):
Chile navy locates solo US sailor in South Pacific
Boat designed for coast cruising, in poor condition, inexperienced crew:
What to do When Your Boat is De-masted - Navigate the Sea
It sounds like you don't have much experience, your current boat wasn't designed for offshore, and you're unsure of the condition and if it can be equipped properly. That's 3 pretty big strikes against success. However, that shouldn't stop you from daydreaming! I sit on my Com-Pac 23 and dream about crossing oceans too, but if I were seriously going to do it now, I would be looking for a different boat that was designed for offshore conditions and I would be looking for some offshore crewing experience on other (more experienced) people's boats first.

YSR Congress honorary president Y.S. Vijayamma on Wednesday accused the Kiran Kumar Reddy government of totally neglecting people's welfare and dubbed 'Amma Hastam' scheme as 'Maya Hastam'.
Addressing a gathering at Addagutta in Secunderabad after listening to their grievances, she alleged that the government was neglecting welfare schemes and charged it with remaining indifferent to people's problems. She said former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajaskhara Reddy knew the suffering of people and had introduced several schemes to mitigate their suffering.
He not only introduced them but also implemented them successfully as he was sincere. But the State Government was not concerned about people's problems and has been imposing taxes. She said 'Amma Hastam' was introduced with an eye on the elections.
Earlier speaking at May Day function at the party office, she said YSR CP was committed to welfare of workers. She said workers were happy during YSR regime but were in distress now as the government has been forcing closure of the industries by imposing power cuts. More than four lakh cottage and small industries have been closed due to lack of power.
Keywords: Y.S. Vijayamma, Amma Hastam, YSR regime, labour day,

Ridgewood, New Jersey - January 2nd 2013 - Happy New Year! This year promises to be a very exciting year in the Immigration Law arena. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today announced the posting of a final rule in the Federal Register that reduces the time U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate relatives (spouse, children and parents), who are in the process of obtaining visas to become lawful permanent residents of the United States under certain circumstances. The final rule establishes a process that allows certain individuals to apply for a provisional unlawful presence waiver before they depart the United States to attend immigrant visa interviews in their countries of origin. The process will be effective on March 4, 2013 and more information about the filing process will be made available in the coming weeks at http://www.uscis.gov/.

My answer is yes – and I am living proof!
The primary thing you will need if you are on your own are back-up plans. In training, I spend a lot of time helping you to get a very clear understanding of the amount of work owning a bed and breakfast entails.
Here are two key issues to think about:
Owning a bed and breakfast requires a lot of physical labour - even if you hire help. Are you up to it?
If not, how are you going to handle the workload? In my case, I was able to manage on my own for the first three years, but then learned that it was essential to have cleaning help in the peak season – for the sake of my health and to have the energy to deal with guests in the manner I wanted to be able to
- If you get into this situation, it is essential to understand the difference between employees and contractors.
- Also, depending on where you are located. In my case, it is a seasonal area, so the competition for good, reliable help can be tough - and it isn't cheap!
If you are on your own, once you get a handle on the amount of work, you will need to have a plan for what happens when you get sick, injured or just plain burnt out. Who will be there to help you?
I don't have the luxury of depending on family – they are miles away, with jobs and families of their own, so I certainly can't expect to count on them! In addition, I didn't have a lot of support for my idea of running a bed and breakfast, so I always felt (in the first few years anyways) that they were just looking for a reason to say "I told you so!".
Just to give you some of the scenarios I have run into, and you will need to think about:
- How will you handle really late check-ins? You can't be up at the crack of dawn making breakfast and sitting around until the wee hours of the morning to let someone in!
- If there is a last minute crisis that needs to be dealt with right away, how will you handle it? (Why do guests always wait until breakfast service is in full swing to let you know their toilet has flooded, or the tap in the shower/sink has fallen off and the water is gushing out?)
- What if something is too big to lift or beyond your capabilities to fix – even temporarily? This is something that is challenging me now that I am 10 years older than when I started up! (And no, it is NOT appropriate to ask guests to help!)
- What is your back-up financial plan? If you only have the B&B income to depend on, and you haven't done your homework to understand the cash flow issues you will be facing, how will you keep the B&B running and generate more income?
If you are single, you can still own and run a bed and breakfast. Having back-up plans will help - especially in dealing with the physical aspects. If you would like a better idea of what some of your potential solutions might be, don't hesitate to contact me!
