Republican Gary Johnson, who earned the nickname Governor Veto while cutting spending in New Mexico, announced his candidacy for president Thursday in New Hampshire. He also has a libertarian streak reminiscent of Rep. Ron Paul.
In Texas and some other states, the tea party has focused on abortion as much as the state deficit. Five months after its successes in Election 2010, the tea party faces a reckoning: What does it stand for?
Joe Biden and each vice president since 1974 has called a specific Victorian mansion in Washington home.
On Wednesday, DirecTV airs the first of its 'premium video on demand' films, bringing major Hollywood movies – that debuted only 60 to 70 days before – to a living room near you.
A break in the weather allowed firefighters to gain some ground against the historic Texas wildfires. But the battle against 22 major wildland fires has been 'problematic,' says Mark Stanford, fire operations chief of the Texas Forest Service.
Gary Johnson, who has already scaled Mt. Everest, has chosen the presidency as his next summit. The former New Mexico governor declared his candidacy on April 21 in New Hampshire. "America needs a 'President Veto' right now – someone who will say no to insane spending and stop the madness that has become Washington," he said in a statement. A libertarian-leaning, tee-totaling triathlete often dubbed "the next Ron Paul," Mr. Johnson is a maverick whose liberal views on marijuana might smoke his White House bid.
The members of the House and Senate who were appointed to the latest presidential deficit panel represent the starkest partisan views on Capitol Hill. But that could be a good thing.
A former student is indicted on 15 counts, including invasion of privacy, in the Rutgers suicide case. He is alleged to have used a webcam to spy on his roommate's sexual encounter with another man.
Watch out, Obama: Everyone else has caught up to everything you did in 2008 – and all the tools you had then have become a lot more sophisticated.
Are you smarter about real-life computer security and cyberconflict than Skynet, the evil computer network in the "Terminator" movie series? Take this quiz to find out.
Homeland Security will stop using color-coded threat levels and replace them with a more specific, targeted alert system, the Homeland Security chief said Wednesday.
The world's water treatment plants, power grids, and other vital industries are seeing escalating cyberattacks, but are not ramping up security fast enough, says a new global report.
As NATO allies send military advisers to Libyan rebels, Obama approves direct US aid in the form of nonlethal supplies. Will that be enough to prevent a humanitarian disaster?
Tim Hetherington, the photojournalist and codirector of 'Restrepo,' the documentary film about war in Afghanistan, was killed in Libya Wednesday. Three other journalists were wounded.
Jimmie Johnson managed to win last weekend at Talladega by the thinnest of margins. Will a close victory and a TV turn propel Jimmie Johnson to another NASCAR championship and television's biggest prize?
Predictions of 'Obama's Katrina,' millions of fish belly up on beaches, and an end to deep-water drilling all came to naught. High gasoline prices now seem more pressing to Americans than the Deepwater Horizon disaster that led to Gulf oil spill.
Donald Trump continues to fan the flames of the blogosphere rumor mill, even as GOP leaders (other than Sarah Palin) distance themselves from his 'birther' claims.
A year after the Deepwater Horizon explosion triggered the mammoth Gulf oil spill, fishermen, hotel owners, and oil workers in Grand Isle, La., aren't sure if the old nature-oil balance can be regained.
Texas wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres just in the past week, as flames ring entire lakes, jump firebreaks, and threaten towns and cities, including Dallas-Fort Worth.
The retrial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich opens Wednesday in federal court. In the first trial, the jury deadlocked on 23 of 24 charges related to the handling of President Obama's former US Senate seat.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood attended the grand opening of the first completed high-tech bus shelter on the new Calif.-based Monterey-Salinas Transit JAZZ bus rapid transit (BRT) line.
The new BRT service, funded in part by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), will cut commuting times roughly in half for riders on existing bus service and improve transit connections for thousands of active-duty military, hospitality workers and tourists traveling to Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other attractions.
"This new bus rapid transit line will give residents and tourists a safer, more efficient option for getting to work, to school, or wherever they need to go," said LaHood. "And, it is fitting that we are celebrating its start as we honor our nation's heroes, with so many area military families who can take advantage of the new line. Providing our military and veterans with safe, reliable transportation options is the least we can do to thank them for their service."
The JAZZ BRT system serves a 6.75-mile route between Sand City Station and the aquarium and travels through Seaside, where many transit-dependent hospitality workers reside. Monterey County is also home to roughly 16,000 active-duty and civilian military personnel, including those stationed at Monterey's U.S. Coast Guard station. Military ridership on Monterey-Salinas Transit's non-BRT bus service grew by more than 300% between 2010 and 2012.
Additional BRT stops will open near area military facilities as well as other local employment centers and area attractions.
FTA has committed $2.77 million to the $5 million project through its Small Starts capital program. The remainder is from California state and local funds. The JAZZ line began operating on September 1, serving temporary stations. In partnership with the Monterey Jazz Festival, the new Sand City Station and 24 new bus shelters along the route will allow waiting passengers to download jazz concert recordings from past festival performances.
Tier One modernizes 300 stops along two of GRTC's busiest routes with each stop receiving upgrades that include new flags with clearly visible route and bus stop numbers as well as eye-level, easy-to-use printed schedule and map information.
The keynote address, "Driving Excellence" will be delivered on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. by Mark Aesch, CEO of TransPro, a management consultancy that guides transit systems.
The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.

McIlroy to miss WGC-Bridgestone, No. 1 ranking in jeopardy
Rory McIlroy is in danger of losing his No. 1 world ranking after announcing he will miss next week's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone International at Firestone Country Club.
Rory McIlroy is in danger of losing his No. 1 world ranking after announcing he will miss next week's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone International at Firestone Country Club.
PGA Tour player Billy Hurley III made an emotional appeal on Tuesday for help in tracking down his father who went missing on July 19.
The son and daughter-in-law of the first African-American golfer on the PGA Tour were charged with improperly spending more than $1 million belonging to the late legendary Charles Sifford Sr, officials said on Tuesday.
David Hearn woke up on Sunday with a two-shot lead at the tournament he grew up skipping school to watch. He woke up with a chance to become the first Canadian to win our national open in 61 years.
It's not that he was likely to be in the thick of things in the end with the leader seven strokes up, but his start on Sunday at the Canadian Open gave Adam Hadwin hope he would be.
David Hearn started Sunday's final round of the 106th Canadian Open with a two-shot lead in the hopes of ending a 61-year-old homegrown drought, but the 36-year-old native of Brantford couldn't seal the deal.
It's in David Hearn's hands, now. It's been 61 years since a Canadian last won the Canadian Open and, after Saturday's third round, Hearn finds himself in the driver's seat.
Close your eyes like Jason Day and visualize the best Canadian Open finish possible.
They say one is the loneliest number of them all. But it seemed to suit Canadian golfer Adam Svensson just fine on Saturday morning at Glen Abbey.
Moving day on the PGA Tour is usually reserved for Saturday, but a host of players hit the gas a day early. Among those in the morning birdie binge Friday at the 106th Canadian Open was Brantford's David Hearn, who fired an eight-under 64.

Attorney General Eric Holder says the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in a St. Louis suburb deserves a full review.
Holder's statement Monday comes as the Justice Department dispatched its Community Relations Service to the scene to try and help calm the area's racial tension. The service helps communities resolve conflicts and tensions arising from racial differences.
The FBI is looking into possible civil rights violations in the shooting of 18-year old Michael Brown. Police said Brown was shot multiple times Saturday after an altercation with an officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Nearly three dozen people were arrested Sunday after crowds looted and burned stores and taunted officers.
Holder says aggressively pursuing these types of investigations is "critical for preserving trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve."

It's been a month since I last posted any finished work. The last few weeks have been busy with a number of art fairs so I haven't spent much time on doing any new work. I finished drawing out this drypoint earlier this week but have only got around to printing it this morning.

Blea Water - Mezzotint

Finished just in time to dry off ready to take to this weekends Printmakers Art Fair in Chester. The start of a busy couple of weeks. The following weekend on 14th June I will be at Holmfirth Art Market and the weekend after on 20th and 21st June at Carlisle Auction Mart for Art in the Pen.

After some weeks of dithering I have finally begun working on the mezzotint plate that I had finished preparing about 6 weeks ago. There is so much time and effort that goes into rocking the plate, that I am reluctant to commit to working on it until I am sure about what I am going to do. This is only a small 100mm x 150mm plate but it still took 12 hours to rock it completely.
This is the state of play after a couple of hours scraping and burnishing. It's quite difficult to get the lighting right so that it shows up in the photograph but I think you'll get the idea.
After a bit more burnishing I ran off a proof.
Clearly a bit more work is needed.

Above the tide line - Lindisfarne
Reduction Linocut
245mm x 360mm
Edition size 9. ( Started with 10 but lost one due to sloppy registration)
Finished the print with the addition of the final colour. Not sure how to describe this though. It was printed in 11 stages, but counting all the colours used in the blends there are actually 20 colours on it. Anyway there is much in this print that I am pleased with, particularly the treatment of the foreground grasses which I would like to develop in future prints. As usual there are a couple of areas I'm not so happy about, but overall it has come out pretty much as I hoped.
For anyone interested in purchasing a print it can be found here
All that is left of the block.

Lindisfarne print - nearly there.
The block inked with the 6th colour. Another blend from blue grey to green.
and printed. This has made the colour of the boat sheet too dark and grey in tone, so the next colour will be printed just as a correction to this.
Colour 7. A blue, slightly darker in tone than the darkest blue in the sky.
The block inked for colour 8.
and printed. Another, darker blue.
Colour 9. A brown for the upper paintwork on the boat.
and colour 10. Some darker details. One more colour will see it finished.

New Print
Started this print last week but for one reason and another progress has been interrupted. Another few days of concentrated work should see it finished in time for the Printmakers Art Fair at Chester on 6th June.
A blended roll top to bottom from cream through cool grey and back to cream.
A second blend top to bottom from blue grey to a warm mauve grey.
A third blended roll, top to bottom from blue through light blue to pale green. This finishes off the sky area.
A light blue printed across the bottom of the print. This finishes the patch of sea in front of the castle and gives the highlights on the sheeting covering the boat.
Another blend across the bottom of the print, from mauve grey through bright green to a darker green.
By now the location should have become apparent.

Tributes to former Barrow Borough Council treasurer
Last updated at 16:44, Friday, 18 January 2013
TRIBUTES have been paid to a former council treasurer and keen artist.
Ronald Moon died aged 83 at his home in Harrel Lane, Barrow, on January 9 after a long illness.
Family, friends and former colleagues gathered to pay their respects and remember the life of Mr Moon yesterday at St George's Church, Barrow.
The Reverend Gary Creegen said: "St George's Church was so close to his heart. In the east window the town hall is depicted."
The service reflected on the impact Mr Moon had on the lives of everyone he knew. Mr Creegen said: "Ron was a gentleman in every way. He was a caretaker. He was always taking care of people."
Mr Moon began his local government career at 16 as a junior wages clerk with the then county borough council at Barrow.
He then spent four years in the council's building department in a financial capacity before returning to the borough treasurer's department.
He continued working at Barrow until 1968 when he was appointed chief financial officer to the then Dalton Urban District Council, a post he held until the authority disappeared under local government reorganisation in 1974.
Mr Moon returned to Barrow Borough Council as an assistant chief financial officer, before becoming deputy borough treasurer. He stepped up to the role of treasurer in 1982 and served for four years before giving up the post on health grounds.
Barrow town clerk Derek Lyon paid tribute to him at the time, describing him as "an unassuming man who has always given his best".
Mr Moon is survived by his widow Rita, sons Tony and Peter, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Mrs Moon described her late husband as gentle and respectable.
She said: "He was a very gentle man, loving and caring. He was very respectable and loved his family.
"He was in the Barrow Society of Artists and enjoyed painting. That was his main hobby, he made model aircraft when he was younger and had a lot of hobbies."

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, running back Jason Snelling, defensive tackle Corey Peters and defensive end Malliciah Goodman were held out of Wednesday's practice.
Gonzalez suffered a toe injury on his left foot during last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He hasn't missed a game since 2006, so the injury would have to be significant for Gonzalez to miss this week's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Both Snelling and Peters were held out with knee injuries, while Goodman was sidelined by a calf issue. Snelling recently missed a game due to an ankle injury, but coach Mike Smith suggested that Snelling would return to practice this week.
Wide receiver Roddy White, who just returned to the lineup after hamstring and ankle injuries, was limited Wednesday with a shoulder injury. His status will be worth monitoring the rest of the week.
Also limited were linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (foot), defensive tackle Peria Jerry (toe) and running back Steven Jackson (toe). Weatherspoon was just activated from short-term injured reserve after suffering a Lisfranc foot sprain in Week 2.
Smith indicated the injury report was more about getting players rest than anything.
Smith also said newly signed offensive tackle Sean Locklear has been medically cleared. Locklear, last with the New York Giants, suffered a season-ending right-knee injury last December. His role with the Falcons has yet to be determined, but he prefers to play right tackle. The Falcons needed depth after losing left tackle Sam Baker to a season-ending knee injury.
Locklear went through a full practice on Wednesday.

Texas university to give out iPhones, iPod touches
Abilene Christian University has announced plans to supply all incoming freshman with an iPhone or iPod touch as part of an initiative to enhance learning through the use of technology. According to ACU Chief Information Officer Kevin Roberts, freshmen will use the devices to receive homework alerts, answer in-class surveys and quizzes, get directions to their professors' offices, and check their meal and account balances – among more than 15 other useful web applications already developed. The plan has gained attention from Apple and Ivy League universities — Roberts recently gave a presentation at Apple headquarters to company executives and selected leaders from universities including Harvard, Yale, MIT, Duke, Stanford, Oxford, Princeton, and UCLA outlining ACU's "creative vision for converged media devices."
"We are not merely providing cutting-edge technology tools to our incoming students," said Roberts. "We are also providing the web applications that ensure these tools will become critical to the students' learning experience. Because 93 percent of ACU students bring their own computers with them to college, we are choosing to take them to the next level by providing converged mobile devices." Dr. Dwayne VanRheenen, ACU provost, said, "This is exciting to me, not only because we're giving students new tools, but because we are transforming the learning environment. The extensive research that's been done on campus in the past 10 months has prepared us to launch with freshmen this fall, and research will be ongoing as we expand the program in the future."

Pacific Seafood lawsuit moves forward
|| Print |
|Must Reads
|Wednesday, February 01, 2012
A judge granted class-action status to a lawsuit filed by two fishermen against Clackamas-based Pacific Seafood Group.
Brookings fishermen Lloyd Whaley and Todd Whaley claim that Pacific Seafood Group illegally exploits its market power as a wholesaler to pay fishermen below-market prices for whiting, groundfish and shrimp from Northern California to the Canadian border. They also allege that Pacific Seafood illegally conspired with another processor, Washington-based Ocean Gold Seafoods, to suppress prices for whiting.
Both companies have denied the allegations. Pacific said it has benefited fishermen by opening up new markets, putting more fishermen to work and allowing them to earn more than they would without the company's buying power and influence.
Portland attorneys Mike Haglund and Mike Kelley, who represent the father-and-son Whaleys, asked to have the case certified as a class-action suit. That means that up to 1,500 fishermen by the lawyers' count potentially could tap into the $67 million to $83 million in damages that Haglund and Kelley are seeking, should they win the suit.

Oregon's roads are crumbling, and revenues from state and local gas taxes are not sufficient to pay for improvements. We asked readers if the private sector should help fund transportation maintenance and repairs. Research partner CFM Strategic Communications conducted the poll of 366 readers in February.
Reader comments:
"I feel private enterprises are capable of operating at a higher efficiency than state government."
"This has been used in Oregon since the mid-1800s. It is not a new financing method. This form of financing may help Oregon close its infrastructure deficit by leveraging funds."

One of the many reasons why businesses fail is due to the lack of attention to analytics. Sure, you can go on running your business, but mastering the science of analytics will translate into a business advantage. But what exactly are analytics and why are they so important?

Marian Gaborik Leads New Core Group For Columbus Blue Jackets
A year ago at this time, the Columbus Blue Jackets were a very different looking team. Scott Howson still had a job, and Rick Nash still hadn't been traded despite months of rumors. Fast forward to today, and this is a club that doesn't look anything like that anymore, in more ways than one.
This is now a competitive team. The Blue Jackets hung around in the playoff race until the last day of the regular season, a couple months longer than anyone realistically had expected. Overall, it's a roster that looks much different than it did a year ago. The new front office has overhauled this group, creating a new core where the likes of Rick Nash used to be.
That core is obviously led by Marian Gaborik. After trading Nash, the Blue Jackets really lacked a marketable forward, despite a few solid ones on the roster. Acquiring Gaborik at the deadline was a move that no one had expected, but paid off, as he performed very well in his few weeks with the Jackets.
He's now away from John Tortorella and in a market with much less spotlight on him. Despite the lowered expectations that come with playing in Columbus, he's still the offensive leader of this team, and the leader of this new core that has been established. But he's not the only core member that has been acquired in the past year or two.
A kid like Artem Anisimov is also someone who can be considered a core player for this club. His offensive game is still growing, but he's shown plenty of potential in these last couple of years. When he was healthy this season, he was an effective player for Columbus. He's joined up front by the likes of Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert, along with the likes of Brandon Dubinsky, who could be considered a part of this core if he can get his goal scoring back on track.
Of course, you can't talk core without mentioning Sergei Bobrovsky. He's a star between the pipes and established himself as an elite starter in the game this season. In front of him, you have guys like Jack Johnson, as well as this year's no. 2 overall pick, Ryan Murray.
All in all, you have to consider this team to have a bright future. They've quickly revamped their roster and are now headed in the right direction, having been headed nowhere with Howson at the helm. This might not be a team to contend for a Stanley Cup next year, but they're a team that is no longer a joke, and should at least be taken seriously moving forward.

Jason's Dad
Jason's Dad
Your father is a pastor, so he must have struggled with trying to protect you while helping promote forgiveness. What were the struggles that he went through in this whole process?
Jason: Yeah, my dad is my best friend, so I think he probably carried the brunt of my emotions and feelings and decision making. I talked to my dad everyday for probably close to nine months while I was walking through this and we cried together and that whole deal. I would say that my dad was every bit as emotional as I was. I know that my dad shared the same emotions that I did as a grandfather to my kids and a father to me and to her. In some ways he was a spiritual dad to her and loved her.
When somebody walks out on you it hurts, it hurts on every level, it hurts everybody that's in a relationship. My dad was included in that, so [my dad] writing the book with me was really the finalization of our journey together. It wasn't just "Hey dad, I need help". It was "Hey dad, let's finish this road together. We've walked this far and we've really come to a place of wholeness and of healing and our family has come to a place of healing and wholeness. Let's finish this road by giving away what we've learned and where we've been to other people." But even that process was hard, especially for him because he's having to relive how he felt. I tell my story a lot so I get a lot more used to going, "that was my life and that's how I felt," but for him I think it was a little bit harder to go, "this was my kid's reality and my grandkid's reality. These are the things that we walked through."

UK: New Look to shutter up to 100 stores
By Petah Marian | 26 June 2012
- Full-year EBITDA fell to GBP147m from GBP191m
- Sales declined 2% to GBP1.5bn
- Like-for-like sales declined 5.9%
UK retailer New Look has said that it will look to shut up to 100 stores and has agreed to delay paying back its debt after it recorded a fall in full-year profits.
The company said that full-year EBITDA fell to GBP147m (US$229.7m) from GBP191m in the prior year. Sales were down 2% to GBP1.5bn, with like-for-like sales declining 5.9%, excluding VAT. In the UK, like-for-like sales, excluding VAT, declined 5.7%.
Over the year, the company said it has made considerable progress in its efforts to improve ranging, pricing and quality, and broadening its appeal across its customer base. "We continued to keep tight control of inventory and worked to improve lead times to give us greater flexibility to buy into the key seasonal trends. Looking forward, this focus will allow us to reduce our markdown and improve gross margin," the company said.
It is also working to address "more fundamental structural issues" which have impacted the whole of the retail sector. As a result, it is working to improve its multi-channel offer with click and collect and in-store ordering. New Look is also working on its store portfolio and has decided that the growth of online shopping is likely to result in 50-100 fewer stores than it has now.
"However, stores will remain a vital part of our multi-channel offer and we have trialled a new store concept during the year to improve the customer shopping experience. Following some very encouraging results we are now planning to launch a roll out across our store estate with an initial 120 stores to be refurbished in the coming financial year," it said.
The company has agreed to to extend its debt repayments to April 2010. Net debt is in line with last year at GBP1.1bn, and it currently has GBP212m cash at the end of the year, up from GBP191m at the end of the prior year.
"When I joined the business a year ago we were facing significant internal disruption, we had lost our edge in terms of our value position and alienated some customers with our ranging," said executive chairman Alistair McGeorge.
"All this meant we had undermined our competitiveness on the high street.
"We have made significant progress in addressing these issues - work that will continue through this year. We are completely focussed on delivering a better customer experience, whether it be in store or online. We are also continuing our work to ensure we have a strong brand and a distinctive proposition that generates improved customer loyalty."
