The Wall Street Journal published an alarmist piece yesterday depicting California's electrical grid as the victim of a 'looming crisis' brought on by the state's 'growing reliance' on wind and solar. While the success of wind and solar certainly raises new issues in terms of how to plan and operate the future electrical grid, the article overstated the severity of the problem California currently faces.

When you (atf) were born,
It was as if the sun rose again,
after a dark dark night.
When the oppressed had raised their hands to the sky
In devoted supplication
their voices trembling with emotion
their teary eyes witnessing the atrocities and oppression
generation after generation
and they called out to the slumbering souls
dead and deaf, not noticing, not responding...
Then you were born,
and it was said:
Say! Truth has come and falsehood has been vanquished!
and the dawn made its line on the darkened horizon
growing wider, rising higher
and the hopes rose with it
higher and higher...
here was the avenger of al 'Husayn,
the one who would avenge against those who tore the veils,
and set fire to the hearts of the believers.
Here was the water from the well,
into which the sorrows of his grandfather were silently shed,
that watered the flower of Narjis and Zahraa عليه السلام.
Then the darkened days fell upon us again,
and we were deprived of your presence,
and the sun hid its rays behind the clouds,
warming the hearts, which wilted at the separation,
casting your rays on humanity, sustaining the life of Islam.
The shadows cast by the clouds keeping the sun away
weighed upon, and darkened the days,
yet the lovers walked around in anticipation
in waiting, in hope
of the coming of dawn, the return of the awaited one.
And they remembered how each sin,
strikes him like an arrow,
thus they abstained.
And they felt his sorrow, and his tears,
for his followers, who locked him away by their deeds.
And they recalled how he witnesses their lives,
and they reformed.
And they hoped to join the ranks of his army,
thus they prepare.
Another Friday went by without your return,
then another, and another,
and the hopeful hearts broke again,
each time,
as they renewed their pledge of allegiance
and the tears streamed down, drowning their sorrow
and invigorating them with hope
inspiring them to serve humanity,
and serve their Lord,
and they said with new energy:
Hasten! Hasten O our Master, the Master of the era!
Though the days are dark, and the night is long,
The promise of your return keeps us going,
For you are he,
The awaited promise of truth,
The reviver of Islaam,
Light from radiant Light,
Light upon Light,
The spring and dawn of the believers.

In addition to an arid climate and plenty of sunshine, Arizona and Nevada have something more to offer contractors: a potentially advantageous position over lenders when a project goes bad.
When a project derails and everyone involved is looking to be made whole, banks typically have protected their first-place position even if the contractor commenced with construction prior to the bank making its loan. The bank achieves this by requiring the contractor to have executed a subordination agreement or by claiming its first-place position via the theory of equitable subrogation. Subordination agreements are typically enforceable, and equitable subrogation is the rule of law in much of the country. However in two separate rulings in Arizona (view here and here), the courts held that mechanic's liens have priority of all other claims attaching after the commencement of construction. In Nevada, state law prohibits a bank's jumping to the front of the line, going so far as to state that even if such an agreement to subordinate is made, it is "contrary to public policy and is void and unenforceable."
Determining the order of repayment is an important consideration when entering into any construction deal. After a project derails this issue is complex, and typically involves a significant number of parties with none wanting to concede their position. Furthermore, as demonstrated above, some parts of the country operate under state laws that are counter to what is considered standard business practice elsewhere.

Glencoe Software's OMERO Data Management Engine: OME Open Source Technology Continues to Perform in Commercial Products
SEATTLE, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Glencoe Software, Inc., a pioneer in biological research image and metadata management tools, is pleased that PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of people and the environment, has again chosen Glencoe Software's open source-based tools as the foundation of its newly released Columbus® Scope cellular imaging software solution for microscopy. Columbus Scope allows researchers to read, visualize and re-analyze an unprecedented number of different vendor-specific research imaging file formats, save and use their experimental metadata parameters, and share images with their colleagues and collaborators.
The introduction of Columbus Scope for microscopy follows the very successful Columbus® Conductor and Columbus® Gallery data management systems for High Content Screening. All of these tools are based on the Open Microscopy Environment's open source OMERO platform, which provides access to large image datasets over standard internet connections for scientific visualization, analysis, and collaboration. A typical research microscopy facility will have seven to ten different microscope hardware and software acquisition systems, and oftentimes 15-25 for the larger core microscopy facilities. The Open Microscopy Environment Consortium pioneered unique software engineering design principles that enable researchers to read and organize image data from all of these different systems. With OMERO scientists can access new methods of analyses and workflows, enhancing research in cancer, immunology, developmental biology and infectious diseases.
Jason Swedlow, President of Glencoe Software, and co-Founder of the Open Microscopy Environment, said, "We are pleased that PerkinElmer has chosen OMERO as the foundation of the newest member of the Columbus family of products. This is another successful example of the flexibility and power of OME's software."

Cartoon Summary:
Holiday time is upon us, carols are being sung in church, Santa is in the streets, and kids are playing in the snow. The Pink Panther is alone, cold and hungry on a Central Park bench in 1890s New York. His pursuit of a meal leads him to the true meaning of Christmas, rescuing the Pink Panther from what appears to be a blue Yuletide. The Pink Panther is asleep on the bench. He awakens to eat his last pea; a bird flies by and takes it. The panther smells chestnuts roasting in the street. Lured by their aroma, he realizes that he has no money. He finds a storm vent with steam rising, but a cop runs him off. He finds a package in the street. Opening it, he finds that it contains a Santa suit. He dons the suit and continues on down the street. A store manager rushes out and asks him to say "Ho, Ho." Satisfied, the manager hires him to entertain children. His hunger returning, the Pink Panther is tempted by a little girl's cookie. Hunger wins out, and the store manager chases him away. The Pink Panther hides in a doll display, where the children abuse him. Going to the park, he attempts to eat birdseed, only to be chased away by an old woman. He decides to do a good deed and shovel snow from a door. Begging for food, he is chased away by a woman. Seeing a sign for free food, he gets in line at a mission. His turn comes up, but it's too late, and there's no food left. In hopes of a meal, he helps the cops catch a criminal. They lock up the criminal and feed him a holiday meal, kicking the Pink Panther out. He finds a doughnut in the street and begins to take a bite when he sees a small puppy staring at him. The panther gives him the doughnut. The puppy leads the Pink Panther back to the snow-covered park bench. A Christmas tree appears from the sky. Next, there's a table laden with food. As the panther and the puppy begin to eat from their bounty, they look up to see Santa flying away in his sleigh. "And a Pink Christmas to all."

ferro boats

Rep Power:
Why do you want a ferro boat? They were relatively popular for a very short time about thirty years ago and then pretty much disappeared. From what I understand, they disappeared for good reason. Westsail was the primary manufacturer, and they sold a lot of boats as unfinished hulls for the do-it-yourself market. As a consequence, the quality of the boats out there varies tremendously. Ferro as a building material has the benefit of being really inexpensive; this keeps the cost of the new boat way down. For you the used boat buyer, this is almost meaningless as you reap none of those benefits. Cons? poorly constructed interiors, uneven quality fittings, very heavy displacement (i.e., slow), poor resale value. What happens when you hit cement with a hammer? Imagine hitting your cement hull on a rock... I could go on, but you get the picture. I would guess that one of the big attractions of this boat you are considering is its low price; well, the price is low because the demand for ferro boats is low too. If you are seriously considering buying the boat, ask if the interior is a factory job or done by an amatuer. Check the wiring and plumbing carefully; if they too were done in the backyard, they may be suspect. I have seen enough crappy electrical work done by professionals in factories; I shudder to think what an enthusiastic but untalented amateur might come up with. Unless you are very handy, have a lot of time, and enjoy major projects, I would avoid ferro boats. There is a world of inexpensive fiberglass boats out there with 6'4" headroom capable of going around the world.

Jay Wilson answers how they approach character roster when creating new classes for Diablo 3.
GI: People who played Diablo II obsessively acquired a Pavlovian response to the drop sounds—are you keeping those effects, or are you rerecording them?
Wilson: We're probably going to rerecord them, just because the quality isn't as high, but the guy who's doing them is the same person from Diablo II. He's going to do them justice, for sure. The main thing I actually want to get is a little more distinction, where higher-quality magic items have a more distinct sound.

Today was also hard. Too tired to type much as I just feel like lurking tonight.
The 9 and 10 year old brothers had some sibling rivalry issues they were working out, much to my delight. The two babies watched from the deck as I refereed various disputes, some of them physical: . I thought the babies were supposed to be high maintenance! They played together with me so nicely all day. Then, the two normally pleasant school-aged kids come home and I am breaking up more fights than a bouncer on a Friday night! Man!
I hope tomorrow is better, and I have more energy to write coherently.

2007 Suzuki Forenza Reviews and Owner Comments

Overall Score (5 reviews)
2007 Suzuki Forenzazpj510, Rock Island, IL, August 13, 2014 08:30I received a recall letter from Suzuki regarding the low/high beam headlamps and how this may cause overheating leading to a possible fire. Well after some research on the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin website Safecar.gov (NHTSA), I found there were over 197 complaints listed MOST to do with the Transmission/Gear Shift sensors. This car should be recalled on that alone!! I'm appalled that Suzuki has not done this or the NHTSA has not forced them too!! I am surprised there has not been any deaths because of this failure. I bought my 2007 Suzuki Forenza Wagon in Dec 2006. I have been fortunate that I had not had any problems until way over 100,000 miles (brakes a few years ago). At 133,743 miles, I was crossing a bridge when the car just slipped in acceleration! I had it looked at and the tech told me it was the manual lever position sensor, that was 11/25/2013. About 2 months ago, the same problem has happened again. I found a certified car repair shop on the Repair Pal website because there are no Suzuki dealers around anymore. I did file a complaint with Safecar.gov and I urge anyone having this problem or any safety problem to do the same. I could not believe the problems owners were having after only driving the car under 50,000 miles!!! Suzuki needs to be held accountable. They are now on my list of cars I will never, EVER buy again. Toyota, GM and now Suzuki. Life is too short!!!Rookie
2007 Suzuki ForenzaVisitor, Panama City, FL, April 17, 2014 10:01I think they need to recall this car. Have had it in the shop since January. Full body throttle. Guess this is why they quit making them. Have had other problem also. air conditioner, oil plug, head lights.
2007 Suzuki ForenzaVisitor, Warsaw, IN, June 10, 2013 18:39My 2007 Suzuki Forenza sporadically has the check engine light coming on. Sometimes I am just sitting at a stop light waiting for the light to change and the engine light comes on. Other times, I have just slowly accellerated and the car jerks and the light comes on. Immediately goes into limp mode. I have had the car to 2 different repair shops who have replaced different senors, but the car continues to sporadically have the check engine light appear. Scared to death I am going to be stranded somewhere.
2007 Suzuki ForenzaVisitor, Orlando, FL, November 12, 2010 12:34Car is cheaply made and seems to have many problems because of this. Would not recommend!
2007 Suzuki ForenzaVisitor, Kansas City, MO, November 12, 2010 12:34It drinks gas like water and the cost to fuel it for work is something I hadn't counted on. I'm also have an engine problem and its effecting how the car runs (the gas issue has been a problem I found out after I had purchased it) It is not a well made or thought out car --- I agree witht he comment that you get what you pay for.

I love this night. I'm kind of a politician/election day fanatic. Although it goes in streaks. Sometimes I get really sick of all the bickering and tune out for months at a time. I voted after work today and it was nice to see many people in my community out and participating. I don't care who they voted for it was just nice to see a lot of people out there. I've been geeked about this for a while now.
I personally believe that the large turnout they keep talking about on TV is a good sign for the challenger if in fact we have an incumbent who has a less than enthusiastic base, which is the case this year, imo. If people were excited about the incumbent I think the turnout would be lower as the challenging party would be in essence conceding. Unless...people are just starting to participate more as it gets easier to vote.
As far as the New Black Panther hanging out "opening doors for little old ladies" at the polling site...His presence is most certainly a sign of intimidation. Their whole goal as an organization is to intimidate. It's why they dress in military garb. He may not be acting in an intimidating fashion but passive intimidation is still intimidation.
And Kentucky is Mitt Romney's first win of the night, my old County's results haven't turned up yet though
NO MATTER what happens Indiana will vote Republican .
Wow, I was definitely wrong about this election. Congrats to Obama, hopefully he can do some good things over the next four years, he has plenty of issues to tackle.

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Flooring CenterRead MoreThe price of any elected project includes materials, labor, furniture moving, and carpet disposal on all carpet- and hardwood-installation projects.251 Lake DriveOrlando, FL US
National Carpet Care, Inc.Read MoreWith 28 years in the business, the expert personnel of National Carpet Care, Inc. know how to rid floors of lingering dust, dirt, and dander. Specializing in cleaning and sealing ceramic tile and grout, National Carpet Care does the heavy work of scrubbing away the dirt and other contaminates that become trapped below tile and out of site, except for a tell-tale discoloration. The eight-step process includes a final inspection to ensure floors in both residential and commercial spaces meet client satisfaction. Dedicated to environmentally safe practices, the crew also tidies up carpets with safe formulas that won't damage the fibers or the sensitive noses of dust bunnies. The staffers' special focus on eliminating pet odors leaves domiciles with a fresh aroma, and their quick-drying products, 24-hour emergency services, and corrective cleanings for heavily soiled carpets make them the go-to choice for both quality and convenience. In addition to carpet services, the company also offers carpet, tile, and upholstery cleaning.518 Douglas Ave, Ste 1232Altamonte Springs, FL US
Major Floor CareRead MoreAfter John Gartner graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in microbiology, he was bound for the floor. As a professional floor cleaner, that is. Gartner uses his microbiology expertise to bust stains and grime with Major Floor Care, a more-than-40-year-old company. Before taking on a new client, Gartner comes over for a complimentary consultation, during which he checks out carpets to determine the right treatment plan and products. He then uses a special hot-water-extraction method gentle enough to use on all carpet types but strong enough to take on an open-mouthed bearskin rug. Gartner is certified by the IICRC, an institute that regulates and improves carpet-cleaning standards and provides educational materials so its members can stay up to date on the latest cleaning technology.648 Little Wekiva RdAltamonte Springs, FL US
Ram Custom UpholsteryRead MoreKaren Peters took an unexpected foray into natural soaps during a summer psychology internship in the bush of Cameroon, where she noticed that the botanical-heavy lifestyle gave the native women impeccable skin and low blood pressure. Unsatisfied with the hassles of large-scale soap distribution, Karen focused on building a community presence with hands-on soap-making classes at her studio. With the advent of fruiting citrus, Karen plans to infuse her upcoming batches with grapefruit, tangerine, and whatever other scents strike her fancy.817 Virginia DrOrlando, FL US
Budget Cleaning SolutionsRead MoreCarpet Cleaning: Putting the Heat on Dirt As techs re-fluff your carpets and your vacuum weeps in envy, learn how they work their magic with Groupon's guide to steam cleaning. Although steam can be an effective cleaning tool, when pros talk about steam-cleaning a carpet, they're usually talking about a process technically known as hot-water extraction. That's because steam?which occurs when water reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit under normal conditions?is simply too powerful for many residential jobs, posing a risk of damage or shrinkage to some kinds of carpet fibers. Fortunately, water usually only needs to be heated to around 140 degrees to kill most of the microorganisms that can live in a carpet and cause odors. A skilled technician will know what range of temperatures is ideal for any given fiber. Whether it's a rolling model or a massive van-mounted machine, a carpet cleaner has three important elements: a heating device, water jets, and vacuum suction. As the water is heated, it will sometimes be mixed with detergent, but one of the benefits of steam cleaning is the fact that soap isn?t necessarily a must?pressurized jets can reach deep into fibers to get at grime. A vacuum hose then pulls most of the liquid back into the machine, though some dampness will linger in the carpet. Generally, after about three or four hours a carpet will be ready for you to walk on and set all your little army guys back in position.unknownOrlando, FL US
Mr. Somebody's Handyman ServiceRead More"You should call somebody to fix that." This declaration of resignation, as Greg Bell's aunt pointed out back when he founded his business in 2000, was the common denominator among homeowners who were never able to find time to complete their lists of home improvements and repairs. As it happened, this group of time-thwarted homeowners was just Greg's target market, so he dropped his business's original name, "Greg Bell, Handyman," in favor of the cleverly anonymous, Mr. Somebody. Nowadays, supported by a team of handpicked handymen, Greg undertakes a range of remodeling and repair services. However, his success means that he can no longer hide behind the blank moniker, as his customers often refer to him glowingly by name on the consumer review aggregator Angie's List, where he also won a Super Service Award in 2011.3693 Jericho DriveCasselberry, FL US

Making home work
Discipline and boundaries are vital when your house becomes your place of business
Kanarek keeps a "virtual Rolodex" of contacts on various topics, and is a member of several topical groups. By being able to communicate with experts on any subject, she can brainstorm, which helps her stay motivated.
"It's important to stay in touch with people," she says. "Otherwise you can get pigeonholed in your office and feel lonely."
Casual Fridays, Mondays, Tuesdays ...
Though her website is "working naked," neither Kanarek (nor anyone she talks with) does. The name is more about working solo — without the safety net a company provides — while also wearing whatever the heck you want.
Some home-office workers believe they work better when they get dressed for work just as they used to.
"Take it seriously, get dressed and act like a professional," says Smith, whose piece "Top Tips for Working at Home" ran on the
homeofficewarrior.com site in 2008.
Not everybody agrees. Many home-office workers can be found in PJs, robes, workout clothes and shorts. Sometimes it's just a result of being happy to get started in the morning.
"I know when I first started the site, I'd jump out of bed, get ready to go and just stay in my pajamas and work, or be in my workout stuff and never get to my workout because I was so excited to get to my desk" says Kanarek.
The future
Kanarek, who travels the country giving seminars about working from home and home-office setups, strongly believes the number of home-office workers will continue to rise.
There's no reason many salespeople need to be in a company workplace, she says.
"It doesn't make sense for people to have to commute to an office when they can check email, meet with clients virtually and talk on the phone," she says. "They can do everything they can do in a corporate office."
Allowing employees to telecommute also can save companies money. A survey by CompTIA Research showed 59 percent of companies reported cost savings through telecommuting, and 67 percent said employees were more productive from home.
"Companies are changing their office model where they don't have set offices," says Kanarek. "You go in, bring in your laptop, connect it, do your work and then leave."
Making it work
Authors Lisa Kanarek and Stephen Smith offer these tips for telecommuting or setting up a home-based business:
•Be serious about your work and protect your work time. Say no to those who want to infringe on it.
•Set a schedule and routine.
•Set up an office in a dedicated room that is comfortable and inviting.
•Get a separate credit card for business expenses. It makes bookkeeping and tax preparation much easier. Do the same thing with a business checking account.
•Consider incorporating your business to protect your personal finances.
•Invest in the proper computer software to keep track of business expenses, invoicing, etc., and learn how to use it.
•Make certain you have the best tools (a reliable computer) and backups in place. Without an IT department to help, be sure to have such things as a reliable external hard drive to back up your files; a laptop to back up a desktop; and a local place to work that has Wi-Fi if your Internet connection should fail.
•Budget time for bookkeeping and set up organized files and records so you can find things quickly. Your time is your money.
•Join a "mastermind" group or any group of your peers that will allow you to brainstorm and share ideas, either in person or via virtual conferencing (there are many websites devoted to this topic).
•If you feel trapped or isolated, take a few hours each day or week to work in public places such as a coffee shop or library.
•Use social media to market yourself and stay in touch with others.
•If you find working alone isn't for you, find a co-working space (an office rented and shared by non-associated workers). Such spaces can be found on the site loosecubes.com.
•Work in "bursts" of time throughout the day, with planned breaks that allow for errands, workouts or doing things around the house — but with a set time to return.

PADRES NOTES: Forsythe trying to stay healthy
SAN DIEGO ---- Infielder Logan Forsythe's season hasn't gone according to plan.
Battling for the starting job at second base in spring training, he fractured his left foot, underwent surgery and was placed on the 60-day disabled list.
He missed 54 games before finally being reinstated June 3.
He immediately went on a six-game hitting streak, taking the second base job away from Alexi Amarista.
Just when all seemed right in the world, Forsythe tweeked a muscle in his side, missing five games.
Sunday, he returned to the field as a pinch runner and scored what proved to be the winning run on a head-first slide against Oakland.
Monday, he reported on ill effects from his mad dash.
"I'm still a little sore, but I didn't hurt myself," Forsythe said. "I'm still day-to-day, but I'm building up.
"I'm available to do something more than just run."
Replays of Sunday's slide at the plate showed A's pitcher Ryan Cook came within an inch of stepping on Forsythe's left hand.
"I don't like the head-first slide, especially at home," said Padres manager Bud Black. "Logan did what he thought was necessary to score, but it's so dangerous.
"We're trying to get our guys to slide feet first. Will Venable is making strides in that area, but Cameron Maybin still slides head first.
"Every time I see that, I look for broken fingers."
Asked if he thought about that sliding feet first into home Sunday, Forsythe said he was just trying to get to the plate as quickly as possible.
"I've been through a lot this season," he said. "I know injuries happen, and I'm not frustrated.
"All I can do is get my treatment and try to get back on the field as quickly as possible.
"I'm only good to the ballclub if I'm healthy."
Cashner update
Andrew Cashner started for Double-A San Antonio on Monday, allowing one run on three hits over five innings.
He didn't walk a batter and struck out nine.
He threw 75 pitches, 54 for strikes in a 10-1 win over Corpus Christi.
Bullpen mystery
Those who watched Sunday's Padres game from Oakland saw closer Huston Street get the final out of the eighth inning, then go back to the bullpen to throw some more.
There was speculation Street wasn't warm, but Black clarified the mystery.
"He went to the bullpen to get some throws out of the windup," Black said. "Huston's one of the few closers who works out the windup with the bases empty.
"He warmed up in the stretch in the eighth because there were runners on base.
"He just wanted to get in a few throws out of the windup before the start of the ninth."
Welcome back
Rangers pitcher Mike Adams returned to Petco Park for the first time since the Padres traded him to Texas last July 31.
"It's weird coming back," Adams said. "It's strange being in the visiting clubhouse, wearing grey uniforms."
Adams is 1-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 27 appearances for the Rangers this season, saying he missed spacious Petco Park.

Yes. It's called the Navigational Deflector. Under normal circumstances, it'll push things out of your way so you won't collide with it, which is what WOULD have happened in TMP if the deflector had been working properly.
Of course, the Enterprise had dropped out of warp before hitting the debris field, so any objects that were in its path
it dropped out of warp would have been pushed out of its path anyway.
If so, how did the JJprise warp into a debris field?

As law enforcement ramps up its endeavours against cyber criminals and new mobile payment systems gather steam we can expect to see hackers turn their attentions to developing malware that covers their tracks as well begin probing systems such as Apple Pay and smartphone based payment methods.
We can also expect more of the same in terms of high profile targeted attacks, while low level state-sponsored attacks will become the norm rather than the exception.

As North Greenville's annual fundraising program, the North Greenville Annual Fund has the mission to reach out to as many alumni as possible and to raise unrestricted support for the University and its colleges and academic units. North Greenville University Annual Fund gifts are vital to the health and continued growth of the entire university.
The breadth of North Greenville's contributions to society is truly astounding. Every day, world-class faculty, exceptional students, and distinguished alumni around the world are advancing our world in the areas of research, the humanities and the arts. And from its inception, North Greenville has welcomed qualified students of all backgrounds with a desire to learn and contribute to society. However, endowment funding covers only part of what the University needs each year to continue offering the outstanding programs, student aid, and faculty development that is North Greenville's hallmark. The gap between a dean or director's budget line and the college or unit's actual need-that margin of excellence-is covered each year by Annual Fund gifts.

India has taken a stand against the re-indictment of its senior diplomat Devyani Khobragade, saying it was disappointed with the actions of the United States.
India has termed the decision "unnecessary".
"Any major consequent to this decision will "unfortunately" impact on efforts to strengthen Indo-US ties", read a statement released by India.
India says it is concerned with the sudden turn of events. "We reiterate there is no merit in the case and govt will no longer engage in this case in the US legal system" said Indian officials.
Dashing hopes of a closure of the Devyani Khobragade affair, Indian American prosecutor Preet Bharara has secured a fresh indictment of the Indian diplomat at the centre of a major India-US diplomatic row.
Two days after a New York judge dismissed the visa fraud case against Devyani Khobragade, India's then consul general in New York, whose Dec 12 arrest and strip search strained ties between the two countries, a US grand jury Friday again indicted her on same criminal charges.
"A grand jury has returned a true bill today on a two-count criminal indictment of Devyani Khobragade," Bharara's office said in an announcement Friday.
An arrest warrant also was issued after the indictment, according to Jerika Richardson spokesperson for the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York.

A Record on 36th Street: Far West Pad Gets Nearly $4M Amid Hudson Yards Optimism
During the last blackout, Mary Lee says, she and some of the other owners of her co-op building at 360 West 36th Street went up to the rooftop. David Byrne, who owned an apartment there at the time, brought his guitar and led the group in song into the wee hours. Ms. Lee, a jewelry designer now in her 70s, bought the co-op with her husband—who passed away recently—some 18 years ago. "The people we bought from were a very interesting couple," she recalled when we spoke by phone. "One of them had been a manager at Newsweek magazine—the bureau chief in South Vietnam during the war. There were a lot of creative people in the building then. It was a building of independent spirits."Read More

If Sachin Tendulkar plays in the ODI series against Pakistan and England to prepare for the subsequent Test series against Australia, it will reinforce a familiar pattern: it doesn't matter what happens to the team, captain, coach or talented players waiting for an opportunity; it's more important to let Tendulkar have a crack at a last hurrah.
You could argue that getting Tendulkar back into form will serve the team objective of presenting the Aussies with a strong batting lineup. But in giving in to this wishful dream, we will be denying an opportunity to a Rahane or Rohit or Tiwary to prove their mettle in Tests just as Pujara and Kohli have done following the retirement of Dravid and Laxman. We will also be losing out on the chance to blood a newcomer for Tests in home conditions, which would have been in the team's best long-term interests.
What if Tendulkar fails again in the Australia series? This is quite likely, you know, considering the 12 flops and a solitary 50 he has managed in his last 13 Test innings, most of them at home. We will then be left scratching our heads over whether to throw in a debutant to take his place on the tough South Africa tour.
It is understandable that Tendulkar is loathe to slink away with a whimper after a long career. But that is his own fault. He had a resurgence of form in 2009-10, notching up lots of runs on flat batting wickets, before riding on the back of a World Cup winning team to emerge as a hero despite his modest contribution in that campaign: his only notable knock was in the semifinal against Pakistan at Mohali where he was given five lives.
Still, his army of media managers could have used that World Cup moment to enable Tendulkar to exit on a high note. But then he got greedy. Perhaps in his heart of hearts, Tendulkar knew the real heroes of the World Cup were Dhoni and Gambhir, Yuvraj and Raina. He wanted something more, where he could stand out - like a glorious tour to Australia, but we all know how that turned out. Or maybe the magnitude of his endorsements made it really hard for him to let go.
Whatever the reason, the point is the resurrection of India's Test cricket remains on hold now while this man tries to nurdle a century to save his own face. The suggestion that his experience is needed at this juncture to rebuild a team in transition is a joke. The newcomers Pujara and Kohli are the ones getting centuries; it's Tendulkar who is being propped up at the cost of the team, captain, coach and, most of all, the fans who want to see good cricket.
With a handicap like that, how can the Indian team be expected to win? That's something to be kept in mind the next time you hear the chorus of Mohinder Amarnath, Sunil Gavaskar and Krishnamachari Srikkanth singing for a change of captaincy. No captain can be successful if fundamental issues are ignored, and what can be more fundamental than selection based on current form rather than past records?

DETROIT — Detroit plans to allow residents to lease vacant lots to help cut down on blighted properties.
The Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/1R3ub2P ) Mayor Mike Duggan discussed the effort Wednesday at the "Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference." He says the program will lease a vacant lot for three years at $25 per year as long as a neighborhood block club approves of the intended use.
Duggan says thousands of vacant lots could be involved. He says: "We're going to try to flip the control out of city hall to the neighborhood."
The program builds on other anti-blight efforts, including a program to allow Detroit homeowners buy side lots adjacent to their property. The city has worked for years to deal with vacant homes and buildings, and thousands of them have been razed.

A fuel truck driver is required to safely operate a tank wagon or tractor trailer with hazardous materials. At all times, these drivers must know and follow all required safety regulations, including in inclement weather. The ability to install chains on tires in ice, snow, mud, or rain is mandatory to manage driving in such weather. Fuel truck drivers must possess a working knowledge of different pump, hose, and wrench sizes and methods of operation, as filling and emptying are required on pickup and delivery. Overnight driving is not typically mandatory, but often shifts of 14 or more hours are expected (with at least 11 hours driving included).Read More...
A fuel truck driver often has to perform physical tasks such as climbing ladders, lifting replacement tires, and standing and sitting for long periods of time. Other duties associated with this job include inspection before and after any haul, maintaining proper paperwork (including forms, logs, and invoices as needed), and operating fuel pumps. Interpersonal skills are important for a fuel truck driverto work with dispatchers, attendants, technicians, suppliers, and customers upon delivery of the fuel.
A minimum of a high school degree or equivalent is expected for fuel truck driver jobs. Class A CDL certification with tanker hazmat endorsement are required for this position. A Department of Transportation (DOT) health card is mandatory for fuel truck drivers, as is a clean driving record.
Offering a median salary of only $34K, Ferrellgas gives out the smallest paychecks. Furthermore, the earnings range of $29K to $57K isn't that wide, either.
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in tanker, hazmat, Safety Compliance, and Driver/Core Development are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Service and CDL. Experience with hazmat is often linked with knowledge of Safety Compliance.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $38K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $41K. Fuel Truck Drivers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $43K. After two decades in the workforce, the average Fuel Truck Driver generally earns more than ever; median pay for this group is estimated at $45K.

Not-so-smart growth
New-urbanist dogma seeks to discourage such migration by imposing escalating fees and a gauntlet of environmental reviews on new development. They even insist that most people want to live amid density, despite overwhelming demographic and survey evidence that 70 percent or more of adult Californians prefer single-family houses.
Such sentiments mean little to the putative experts, such as the Southern California Association of Governments. For years, SCAG has promoted high-density building to accommodate what it said was a rapidly growing population. But SCAG has been well off with its growth estimates. Last decade, L.A. County's growth slowed to barely 3 percent, one-fifth the rate in the 1980s.
Our "smart growth" approach has succeeded in two things: dampening aspirations and driving many residents out of the region. People may settle for apartments – for awhile, at least – but most ultimately want a house. An area with a less-than-ideal combination of high housing prices and tepid income growth – even one with all the wonderful attributes of this one – tends to drive away middle-class residents, particularly young families. Since 2000, in fact, Southern California has lost 1.3 million net domestic migrants, a decline surpassed only by New York.
An ever-denser Southern California won't be any more attractive – it will suffer greater traffic congestion, a shrinking middle class and a loss of families. We end up not with Paris, or Manhattan, but a First World version of chaotic Tehran or Mexico City. For the most part, only longtime homeowners and the highly affluent will live in anything like the comfort enjoyed by most Southern Californians over the past half century. Everyone else gets to live cheek-to-jowl and spend huge proportions of their incomes on paying some wealthy investor's mortgage.
Perhaps it's time we started to renew our region, cultivating the very attributes – trees, low-rise density, sunshine, as well as entrepreneurial opportunity – that long have attracted people here from around the world. Instead of trying to be something we never were, or can be, we should regard our suburbs and single-family urban neighborhoods as a critical source of renewal. This may prove critical in appealing not only to immigrants but also to millennials. As millennials age, notes Trulia's Ned Kolko, they seem to be heading to more suburbanlike locations.
We also should look at ways to improve our suburban realities, pressing for more decentralized economic structures (telecommuting, branch offices, flexible work hours) to go along with our decentralized way of life. Transit needs to be focused not on encouraging real estate speculation, but serving communities most in need, notably the elderly, students, the disabled and lower-income households.
Southern Californians today are having a future planned for them that most of them likely would not welcome. We come to the Southland to enjoy the sun, the trees, the multifaceted culture and to raise our families amid such blessings. For most, this quest for "a better city" does not mean a small unit on the fourth story of an apartment building, but a house on a tree-lined street. We need to stop thinking how to bring back the urban dystopia of the 19th century and, instead, start thinking about shaping a region that reflects its peoples' aspirations.

Obama: Haul for health law hits 8 million

Eight million people signed up for insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the law's first year, President Barack Obama said Thursday, declaring that Republicans should stop trying to repeal the measure and work to improve it instead.

Stanford tops UCLA for Pac-12 crown, Rose Bowl bid
Stanford had won 10 games only three times before in program history (1992, 1940 and 1926).
"It's been a good month," Hogan said. "We've been playing well. Especially for me, just being able to play, it's been fun. The guys around me make it a lot easier than it looks."
The Bruins made the final roadblock more difficult than expected.
UCLA converted a pair of third downs before Franklin burst through the middle for a 51-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. He carried safety Jordan Richards the final 5 yards into the end zone.
Stanford answered quickly. Hogan ran 14 yards on a read-option keeper to convert a long third down, fullback Ryan Hewitt bulldozed through the line on a fourth-and-1, and Stepfan Taylor took a short pass 33 yards to within inches of the goal line. On the next play, Hogan faked a handoff and rolled untouched for the tying touchdown.
Taylor finished with 78 yards rushing to eclipse Darrin Nelson's school record of 4,169. Taylor, an outgoing senior, has 4,212 for his career.
Before the Cardinal offense even found their seats on the sideline, Hundley ran 48 yards and scrambled for a 5-yard TD to put UCLA back in front, 14-7.
With the Bruins about to go ahead two scores, Ed Reynolds intercepted Hundley's pass and returned it 80 yards to set up Taylor's short TD run.
Officials ruled that Reynolds, who has returned three interceptions for touchdowns this season, was tackled by Hundley short of the goal line and a replay challenge by Shaw was inconclusive. Reynolds moved into a tie with Oregon State's Jordan Poyer for the Pac-12 lead with six interceptions.
Williamson kicked a 37-yard field goal as the first half expired to give Stanford a 17-14 lead. Fairbairn answered with a field goal from 31 yards on UCLA's opening drive of the second half.
Franklin capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a 20-yard TD run late in the third quarter. That gave the Bruins a 24-17 advantage and put Stanford on the brink of its first home loss this season.
Instead, the Cardinal came back in impressive fashion.
After shaking off the safety, Hogan heaved the long touchdown to Terrell just over the cornerback's head. Terrell caught the pass in the short corner and pointed to the poncho-wearing crowd.
"We knew we had to remain calm and play our style," Hogan said. "We kept to it. We pounded the ball, got field position, got the TD to tie it."
Stanford stuffed UCLA three-and-out and Terrell returned the punt 18 yards to the Bruins 43. That set up Williamson's tiebreaking field goal.
One last UCLA drive nearly sent the game to overtime.
Tight end Joseph Fauria caught a pass over the middle on fourth-and-7 and lateraled the ball to Jordon James to finish a 17-yard completion. That helped set up Fairbairn's field goal with 34 seconds left, and the kick never looked on target.
"There's a lot of tears and a lot of disappointment but I think they should be proud of what we accomplished," first-year UCLA coach Jim Mora said.
Stanford has won five straight against the Bruins, who were going for their first conference championship since 1998.
The crowd was the smallest at 50,000-seat Stanford Stadium since the Cardinal drew 30,626 against Sacramento State on Sept. 4, 2010.

Phoenix Suns
Report: Suns GM, Jermaine O'Neal had shouting match
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
And at US Airways Center, too.
Tuesday it was reported that veteran center Jermaine O'Neal missed practice and would not travel with the team to Sacramento due to an "unstated medical issue".
"I'm not sure, I heard he went to the doctor for some reason," Suns interim head coach Lindsey Hunter said when asked what was wrong. "I didn't get the details."
Well we're getting them now.
Suns GM Lance Blanks and center Jermaine O'Neal engaged in a loud, expletive-laced confrontation on Monday, league sources tell Y! Sports.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) January 22, 2013
O'Neal joined the Suns prior to this season and has averaged 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. At 34, he is one of the team's elder statesmen, and it's likely he is not pleased with the direction the team has taken of late.
