Too often state and local government officials talk about receiving federal tax money as if its a gift -- cash from heaven. Federal tax money comes from taxpayers, the same taxpayers who pay state and local taxes.
Conversely, federal officials -- specifically the members of Congress -- act as if this federal tax money is theirs to give to the state as an act of kindness (perhaps in return for favors or political support).
It is, to say the least, an inefficient system. Yet, in a representative form of government it is the system we have.
As a result, some questionable local and state projects receive funding around the country while reasonable projects are not funded because Congress dithers.
This partisan game playing in Washington, D.C., might well have a dire impact on Washington state's infrastructure this summer.
Last week Gov. Chris Gregoire said she fears members of Congress are so paralyzed by partisanship they won't be able to pass a basic highway funding bill. A project that should be top priority is the bridge over the Columbia River at Vancouver that connects Washington and Oregon. Its northbound lanes are 95 years old. They were constructed on wood pilings sufficient to accommodate horse-and-buggy traffic, not the heavy horseless carriages of today.
Gregoire said she fears that the extreme partisanship in Congress is threatening the state's ability to maintain both its roads and its finances.
"I don't know that, collectively, they have an understanding of the impact it has outside, in a state," she said.
Unless Congress acts in the next five weeks, Gregoire said, the state's mega-projects "are all at risk," including the upgrade of the Columbia River Crossing between Vancouver and Portland, as well as plans to replace the floating bridge between Seattle and Bellevue.
In addition, she said, the state's already precarious financial condition could be shaken if Congress replays the prolonged game of chicken over whether to increase the nation's debt limit.
"I'm afraid of whether it will trigger the states back into a recession, or stymie us in our recovery," she said. "What degree it will hit us is the only question, not whether it will hurt us. I have clear evidence."
Gregoire's concerns are valid.
The members of Congress have got to look past their political ideology and focus on the fact that federal taxes are collected specifically for road projects and those funds must be used for that purpose.
Using the money to gain political favors by funding pork-barrel projects or withholding cash as political punishment is wrong.
Repairing the nation's infrastructure is critical to the nation's economic recovery. It has to be done state by state and community by community.
A good place to start is replacing aging and overcrowded bridges.

The Nimzo-Larsen Attack is an ideal opening choice for players keen to avoid mainline theory but still wanting to set their opponents problems from the outset. In the Nimzo-Larsen, White begins 1 b3 and then develops in hypermodern fashion – planning to undermine any central structures Black dares to erect. A key attraction of the Nimzo-Larsen is that White can steer the game into either sharp play or elaborate strategic battles. In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in examining the many different variations of the Nimzo-Larsen. Lakdawala studies the typical plans and tactics for both sides, offers repertoire options for White, provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.

In Great Chess Romantics, Craig Pritchett selects five players, whose chess artistry expresses a deeply personal commitment to the discovery and revelation of great new truths and beauty on the chessboard. Anderssen defined romanticism's inherently dramatic and correct combinational core. Chigorin championed this essence in splendid opposition to an emerging new classical consensus. Réti revealed the extraordinary power of new flank openings. Larsen confounded the overly sober, scientific Soviet "school" at innumerable turns.

The Queen's Gambit Accepted is one of the oldest and most dependable ways for Black to meet White's queen's pawn opening. It leads to dynamic positions with free piece play in which the more enterprising player is likely to prevail. When Nigel Short used the QGA in his match with Anatoly Karpov in 1992, the opening became highly fashionable and it currently features prominently in the repertoires of grandmasters Joel Lautier and Matthew Sadler, among many others. This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the Queen's Gambit Accepted available. With an emphasis on currently fashionable lines that readers are likely to encounter in their own games, it provides everything you need to know to play the opening with White or Black. Iakov Neishtadt is an international master at correspondence chess and author of numerous books, including Winning Quickly with White and Winning Quickly with Black.

The Dutch Leningrad (1. d4 f5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 g6) is one of Black's most dynamic responses to the queen's pawn opening. From the first move, Black stakes a strong claim on the kingside, laying the groundwork for a potential attack on the white king. The Leningrad variation is a popular choice at club and tournament level as well as amongst grandmasters; it is a regular feature in the repertoires of Vassily Ivanchuk, Veselin Topalov and Mikhail Gurevich.

By choosing the Fianchetto System against the Grunfeld, White aims to stifle Black's normal piece play. White avoids presenting Black with a target and instead looks to probe Black's sensitive queenside. White's strategy has been used to good effect by Karpov and Kasparov, reason enough to adopt it in one's own games. This new title offers the first complete coverage of this important chess opening and is ideal for King's Indian players looking for a way to meet the Fianchetto. It also includes up-to-the-minute theory from two top-class theoreticians. Grandmaster Adrian Mikhalchishin is a well-known Ukrainian writer and player, and arguably the worlds' leading expert on the Fianchetto Grunfeld.

The Nimzo-Larsen Attack (1. b3) enables White to take his opponent out of his stride from the very first move. By avoiding the theoretical landmines of openings such as the Sicilian and King's Indian Defences, White is able to steer the game towards a pure battle of chess skill, rather than a test of memory. Furthermore, as the games of exponents such as Grandmaster Julian Hodgson have shown, the Nimzo-Larsen Attack often provokes an overreaction by Black, causing him to overextend his position and thereby leave himself open to an early knockout blow.This guide explains the basic elements, strategies and tactics for both sides.

Lesser Known Tries to Counter this Most Popular of Defences
The King's Indian is one of the most exciting and complex defences that black can employ against the queen's pawn opening. The main lines of the King's Indian are very sharp and tactical but they are also incredibly theoretical in nature it can be a full time job simply keeping up with the latest developments and fashion. So it is not surprising that many playing white choose to look elsewhere for something to counter this popular opening. In Offbeat King's Indian distinguished openings expert Krzysztof Panczyk studies unusual and less theoretical systems for white, ones that are tricky and are likely to throw the King's Indian player off his or her stride early on in the game. Variations investigated include lines with an early Bd3, ones with Nge2,l and ones involving a swift Bg5. By studying this new book, white players can arm themselves with a while new weaponry of lines against the King's Indian, while those playing Black can look closely for the recommended antidotes.

New president takes power in struggling Haiti
Political observers have stressed that Haiti's government needs to hasten a multibillion-dollar reconstruction effort to help house more than 600,000 people still living in settlements.
"His administration will have to show progress fairly quickly in order to provide confidence to the population," said Mark Schneider, senior vice president of the nonprofit think tank International Crisis Group in Washington, D.C.
Martelly also faces a cholera epidemic that threatens to erupt again as the rainy and hurricane seasons approach, as well as a Parliament controlled by legislators from Preval's party.
Despite speculation that Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier and ousted former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide would accept invitations to the ceremony, neither of them showed up.
Since Duvalier made a sudden return in January, the ex-despot has been charged with embezzlement and human rights abuses, and advocacy groups criticized Martelly for inviting him.
Martelly took the oath of office in a building specially made for the occasion after the parliament building buckled in the quake. The power stopped minutes before Preval took off the presidential red-and-blue sash to place it over his successor's shoulders. Paying no mind to the blackout, Martelly's wife, Sophia, stepped on stage to straighten his crooked sash.
Dignitaries came from more than a dozen countries, most of them in the Western Hemisphere. The special guests included former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the U.N.'s special envoy to Haiti, and Edmond Mulet, head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission that's been in Haiti since 2004.
Martelly "wants to take charge, to assume responsibility, to make decisions, and this is what the country needs," Mulet told The Associated Press. "You can sense all over the country there's new energy, motivation."
Martelly was a star of the Haitian genre known as compas. Many said his history of crude onstage antics would prevent him from winning.
He is the son of an oil company executive and attended a prestigious Catholic school in Port-au-Prince and junior colleges in the United States, though he never graduated. He worked as construction worker in Miami in the 1980s.
A few years later, Martelly found his calling - playing compas, Haiti's high-energy, slowed-down version of merengue.
Over time, Martelly's shows became legendary, for he was a bona fide provocateur. As the self-proclaimed "bad boy of compas," Martelly mooned the audience, cursed his rivals, and donned diapers and dresses. Many credit him for reviving compas and proving Haitian musicians could earn a decent living.

Come hear the Chorus sing Peruvian maestra Chabuca Granda's beautiful Misa Criolla de Bodas (Creole Wedding Mass) along with celebrated Bay Area Peruvian soloists and instrumentalists:
Marina Lavalle
Rosa Los Santos
Directed by: Daniel Zamalloa
Produced by: Gabriela Shiroma
at the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco
12:00 noon
Saturday, July 25th, 2015
The Peruvian singer and songwriter Isabel Granda y Larco (1920-1983), known as Chabuca Granda, was an icon of popular music in her country. Her compositions, with their refined poetry, raised the "vals criollo" to a level where it transcended national boundaries. The rhythmic and melodic freedom of Granda's songs had always seemed to push the boundaries of older song forms, and later in her career her music took a turn toward Afro-Peruvian rhythms.
For centuries the Catholic Mass was said entirely in Latin. In 1965, the Second Vatican Council allowed congregations to use their native language in public worship. Chabuca Granda wrote the"Misa Criolla de Bodas" at the request of her daughter Teresa. It was first performed at Teresa's wedding, on January 16, 1969. The songs are set to musical genres from the coastal region of Perú, such as zaña, zamacueca, marinera limeña, festejo, danza limeña, vals criollo, triste and tondero. The Misa was originally performed by Chabuca and her accompanists on guitar and cajón.
The current version of the Misa, for soloists and chorus, was arranged by Julio Caipo in 2001.

TwinView help?
Okay, so I've tried everything in the ReadMe trying to get TwinView to work. I have a two-port GeForce 4 ti4600 (one VGA and one DVI adapted to VGA) with a CRT attached to the VGA and a LCD attached to the DVI. When I load up my edited XF86Config-4 I get an image on the second monitor, but nothing on the first. My XF86Config-4 is below, can anyone help me? Has anyone had this problem?
I've commented out the stuff I added, it's sort of a Xinerama/TwinView hybrid at the moment...

nvidia configuration problem
I think your problem may be that in your config file you identify the displays as CRT. The DVI flat panel display should be identified as DFP
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,DFP"
Hope this helps
Use the nvidia driver, currently you have this which uses the xfree86 driver:
Driver "nv"
What Bill said is correct too.
Both are excellent advice, however I've tried both to no avail. Identifying the second monitor as DFP causes XFree86 to tell me that there are no monitors attached. Identifying the driver as "nvidia" also causes nothing to work....
The X error log may give you some more detail on why this is failing. I recommend that you try configuring each screen alone first, then worry about setting up the twinview option. I personally do not recommend using Xinerama and twinview together - I would set Xinerama to off.
I also do not recommend that you have a second screen defined. The twinview setup implicitly identifies the second screen. Adding another separate screen definition may be part of the problem.
Here is a copy of one of my config files if it helps. Look at the serverlayout and screen sections

So I fiddled more with what made sense and got it to work perfectly. I'm really happpy with it and I'll post my config later so others can look at it.

Just got my Quadro 400 NVS card this week & had the same problem. Looks like you need to specify a MetaMode for EACH monitor, like this:
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200,1600x1200"
Otherwise, the second screen defaults to NULL. Hope that helps.

Below, get a sneak peek at the upcoming episode of The CW's THE VAMPIRE DIARIES entitled "After School Special." The episode airs January 17th, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
In the episode, Rebekah is back with a vengeance! Appearing unexpectedly at Mystic Falls High, Rebekah (Claire Holt) wastes no time trying to force Stefan (Paul Wesley), Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) to answer her questions about the search for a cure, leading to a bombshell piece of information from Elena.
When Bonnie's (Kat Graham) father, Rudy Owens (guest star Rick Worthy, "Supernatural"), accepts the role of Interim Mayor, he makes it a priority to protect his daughter, who isn't at all comfortable with the role he suddenly wants to play in her life. Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay) continues to encourage Bonnie to believe in her powers, but he soon finds himself in danger when he reveals too much to the wrong person. Later, Caroline does her best to comfort Tyler (Michael Trevino) after a violent confrontation.
Meanwhile, at the lake house, Damon and Matt (Zach Roerig) train Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), trying to raise his game as a hunter, but Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is impatient with their progress and intervenes to speed up the process. David Von Ancken directed the episode written by Brett Matthews.

Thread: Last Man Standing 2: Round 1
May 19th, 2006 #1
Last Man Standing 2: Round 1
Official Last Man Standing Website: Round 1
271 contenders over 4 rounds. 396 new pieces of artwork. 1 winner. And not one 1-on-1 battle.
The event will be ran as it was last time; each of the pairings for each battle in a round are chosen completely at random. Whoever receives the most votes per battle from an ever-rotating judging panel of the industry's best advances to the next round. I plan on moving this Last Man Standing along faster than the last one, so be prepared.
Round breakdown:
Round I: 271 initial contenders in 3 (one 4) man battles
Round II: 90 contenders in 3 man battles
Round III: 30 contenders in 6 man battles
Final Round IV: 5 contenders, one winner.
Welcome to the Beginning of the End
You can take this in any direction you want. Keep in mind that the goal of the competition is to create a full-fledged illustration every round, so you'll be judged on your technique, concept, designs, and narrative.
The official deadline stands at 11:59pm PST Sunday, July 9th, 2006.
Every contestant will be responsible for hosting their own image. You will be required to submit a link to your image to my email at email@example.com in the yourname_round_TD.jpg format, with the title of your email yourname's entry. Please try your best to follow the format here, it saves me an assload of work. No WIPs are to be posted before the deadline. If you send me an image attached to your email instead of just the link to your hosted image, it doesn't go up.
Size: Keep your images large enough so that the detail is preserved, but do your best to keep the file size down (Photoshop's Save for Web function can help quite a bit).
Pussing Out:
Awww, the pressures of the thunderdome too much for you? Tough shit. You drop out without fair warning (and fair warning is at least 3 weeks from the due date), you will have the honor of gracing my official "I pussed out of the Thunderdome and all I got was public humiliation" page. This also goes for not submitting something for the showdown.
You new home, should you choose to accept it.

I am an honest, loving, caring and generous person; who loves to be playful and joke around at times. At the same time I am also very driven and responsible. I love to keep active; enjoying the outdoors and traveling. I could be very spontaneous at times; whatever it may be traveling or just doing things on a whim. I like to keep busy and I pretty much always am. My daughter is my pride and joy, my world, my everything; and my family is extremely important to me. I am a very big family person who is looking for someone who is the same; who may have a big family of their own that they would love to share too. I love surrounding myself with the people I love and who are most important to me. My ideal night would be dinner at home watching a movie or having a nice dinner out enjoying the company with people/someone I love. I love experiencing different restaurants and diverse culinaries. I am a people person who loves meeting new people and making new friends.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Fish
I like Dogs, Horses
Both my daughter and I would luv luv luv a puppy, my daughter more so as she asks Santa for one every yr, but we aren't home much and our apartment doesn't allow one. One day though for sure!
Middle of the Road
Pretty much any Exotic Tropical Island is for me. LOL. My fav visited places so far are Isla Morada Florida Keys, Aruba,Bermuda, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Italy. Luv to travel so I have a few more on my bucket list.
My number 1 ultimate favorite thing for sure is my little princess.. My other favorite things are making jewelry, designing, crafts, baking, believe it or not fishing ( yes fishing lol ), road trips or any spontaneous trip for that matter & the beach
Luv the summer & outdoors enjoying the sun, sunsets, stars, rollerblading, beach, fishing, biking, running, mountain climbing or playing tennis. Unless skiing or playing in the snow w/ my girl, don't luv winter much but deff dying to snowboard.
I wish I had more free time for this; Mitch Albom " For One More Day", Nicholas Sparks, Fifty Shades of course, always love my Sunday paper and unfortunately I have to admit I am a magazine junkie

Content promotion and amplification are the lifeblood of content marketing, and it all starts with outreach. Don't allow the lack of an email address to hold back your outreach efforts.
I'm going to explain the thought process, execution and results of this link building project so that you can hopefully replicate our successes within your own niche.
Should you always act on a link removal request, and what action should you actually take?
As experienced marketers, many who specialize in search, we have an obligation to educate business owners, small business one-person marketing teams, and anyone else who may not know the ins-and-outs of SEO.
A new black-hat tactic is threatening to malign SEO professionals and seriously damage companies' search engine rankings. This is the step-by-step description of the black hat SEO tactic that can reverse good links that took you years to build:
I will walk you through on how to conduct a backlink profile analysis using backlink exports from Open Site Explorer, Link Detective, and the amazing power of Excel.
With Google crushing the SEO schemes and easy tactics one by one via manual and algorithmic penalties, I believe that the time for SEOs to embrace new technologies and pay for content promotion and audience engagement is upon us.
The entire online marketing industry is still up in arms after Matt Cutts's post on his blog title: The Decay and Fall of Guest Blogging for SEO. Guest Blogging was one of the last horizons that people considered safe for "White Hat" link building. So what now? Is guest blogging truly dead?
This article was inspired by Geoff Livingston's poignant post "8 Myths of the Zombie Content Apocalypse," published on copyblogger as a reaction to the recent buzz around a phenomenon called "content shock." It's a principle that introduces basic economics to content marketing — there are only so many eyeballs, and they can consume only so much content. What's ironic is that there is a real relationship between the content shock concept and the pervasiveness of scaled guest blogging for links.
Are you trying to get more customers to your website? Do you want to create more buzz online? If you said yes to these two questions - then this blog post is for you.
Google+ provides a multitude of benefits for individuals and companies looking to promote unique content and help better optimize their website for organic search. But when most small-to-medium sized business owners think of using social media or having a content marketing strategy, Google+ is forgotten and almost always left behind.
Many tout link building as one of the hardest parts of the SEO process. Sure, with spammed to death tactics not being valued any longer (thanks to Panda and Penguin) and seemingly low hanging fruit obliterated I could see some thinking link building is hardest. But after years of manual link building, strategy and analysis as well as training link builders, I've come to the conclusion that many of us can build good links when we try hard enough. It requires diligence, outside-the-box thinking, effort and some marketing chops. Oh and the finely honed ability to find just about anything on the internet.

As stated in the FE Supplied-Reference Handbook, "The expertise possessed by engineers is vitally important to public welfare. In order to serve the public effectively, engineers must maintain a high level of technical competence. However, a high level of technical expertise without adherence to ethical guidelines is as much a threat to public welfare as is professional incompetence. Therefore, engineers must also be guided by ethical principles."
In this online course you will learn about three main areas of Model Rules of Professional Conduct for professional engineers:
1. Licensee's Obligation to Society
2. Licensee's Obligation to Employer and Clients

OPINION: The news is like Pacman. It consumes what's in front of it, then moves on to the next morsel.
Its hunger is never sated and what it eats must be fresh. For the news, by definition, is new. And the news is already tiring of the earthquake.
But people aren't. I hear stories daily. A dog-walker told me that he hadn't known he had a chimney till it landed at his feet. And at dinner last night, I heard of a woman who, when woken by the first big quake, reached out, slapped her husband and said, "Stop it."
I have no doubt these stories have been polished in the telling. That's the nature of stories. Each time we tell them we cut out more of the dull bits.
This makes stories untrue to life, because life is mainly dull bits. But it also makes stories truer than life, because what remains has the strength of bone.
Stories are our way of turning chaotic events into history. What do most of us know of Marie Antoinette, for example, apart from her saying, "Let them eat cake"?
She didn't, apparently, but however untrue the detail, the story crystallised the aristocracy's remoteness from the people they ruled. So it's lasted a couple of centuries.
Like the news coverage, the aftershocks are dwindling. The earth is settling down. And one truth seems already to have emerged: a gulf between men and women.
Both sexes were scared by the first big quake. Being flung around like a toy, feeling your house flung around like a toy, feeling the solidity of the very land that you stand on under threat, was terrifying.
To say you weren't scared is to deny a primitive instinct.
But from talking to people it seems to me that most men have since become blase. And most women have not. Most men sleep through aftershocks. Most women wake. It is pointless to speculate why.
Like an earthquake, it just is.
Everyone has praised the upwelling of what we like to call humanity, by which we mean kindness, generosity, selflessness.
Thousands of people have gone out of their way to do good things for others. I've heard it called the Kiwi spirit.
That's an understandable bit of self- bolstering, but kindness isn't unique to New Zealand. It upwells just as readily in San Salvador or Latvia.
It's what the social human animal does when its society is threatened. It's good and admirable and one of the qualities that has served our species well, but it isn't unusual.
It's the normal reaction to abnormal circumstances.
As are the good wishes sent from afar. Hundreds of people have felt the urge to write to wish Canterbury well.
And almost all have felt the need to stress their own connection with the place, that they were raised there, or they studied there, or they have family there.
It's not an attempt to muscle in. It's an honest effort to reach out.
Even Prince Charles has written to say that the people of Canterbury were in his prayers.
I for one find it hard to imagine the prince kneeling in his nightgown and urging God to be nicer to the South Island for a bit, but that doesn't make the letter empty.
It was a courtesy, a formal expression of generosity of spirit. And there is comfort to be had in formality.
But there's no risk of a saintliness epidemic. Many's the sneaky householder, I suspect, who is touring his property at this very moment looking for ancient cracks he can scrape the moss from, blame on the quake and claim on insurance.
Crime levels, according to the police, have returned to normal after only a week. And as I drove to dinner last night, I was startled by a sudden and thunderous roar.
Two low- slung cars growled past me, the cars that have become synonymous with anti-social youth. Anti-social youth is part of humanity as well. It was almost nice to see them back.
And good will continue to outweigh bad. Courteous drivers will continue to outnumber boy racers a thousand to one, and genuine insurance claims fraudulent ones by an even greater degree.
The quake will become its stories, the Pacman news will move on, and the world will remain, to quote the late Bernard Levin, the right way up.

In the pre game release last week it was reversed with Mendenhall being listed first. This was not done by accident following the Steelers 20-14 loss this past Sunday to Cleveland Browns.

LAST WEEK, fed-up Americans erupted in several days of national rage that shook the pillars of power and resulted in real reform.
Take that . . . NFL.
The tipping point: a botched call during "Monday Night Football" that exposed the lunacy of using rinky-dink refs to officiate pro ball. Blowback led the usually obstinate NFL to blink, cave and hire back its striking officials - now universally recognized as irreplaceable regulators of the game.
The NFL's capitulation followed a public apology to fans by Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, wherein he noted that a "billion-dollar" enterprise like the NFL is much too important to trust to a bunch of part-timers. Cue Dr. Evil. One BILLION dollars.

I love...lamp.
I have had a lot of interesting experiences, traveled quite a bit and love to be outdoors. I think I have a good sense of humor, I like to have a good time and I like to be around people who like to have a good time. I think I have a creative side too. I like music and I wish I had more time to paint. I like different experiences and trying new things. I think I have a taste for fine things but I am very comfortable in an austere environment and don't mind roughing it; a spartan existence is unusually appealing to me. I like all kinds of sports and try to stay in good shape. I like good food and good wine. I love dogs and cats. And I always find myself fascinated with nature and wildlife. I like getting to know people; I like to listen and to talk. My perfect match: intelligent, attractive, down-to-earth, fun, sexy, healthy, caring and not afraid to try new things. I want to be with someone who can communicate and is not afraid to express themselves. My perfect match loves to be outdoors. Someone who likes to cook is a plus because I like to cook too, but I just don't do a lot of that now.

I have Cats
I like Dogs, Horses
I love dogs and cats. I have a cat and one day I will have a dog.
I like good restaurants, wine bars, good pubs and live music venues. I think coffee shops are a good place to meet, but I don't hang out there much. I like hole-in-the-wall joints.
I like all kinds of food. I don't have a favorite color. When it's raining outside, I like to go outside unless I have someone to spend time with inside. I like country, classic rock, some pop rock, and jazz. I tend to like spy/thriller books.
I truly love hunting and fishing, primarily because I like being outdoors and I love wildlife. I like all sports. I love to be on the water. I love the beach and the mountains. I like skiing. I like live music as well. My hobby: my '95 jeep.
