Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Frank Bixenmann, a South Dakota native, moved to Utah nine years ago. He's been living on disability for the past seven years because he has terminal cancer, which has spread throughout his body.
Four months ago, his Salt Lake City apartment burned down. He lost everything.
"I got out in just what I was wearing that moment," Bixenmann said, "which was just a pair of boxer shorts."
He's one of about 15,000 homeless people living in Utah at any given time, according to homeless advocates who say that as the recession lingers, more low income — as well as homeless families — will enter the black wrought iron gates of Catholic Community Services to use whatever services are available.
This gives Bixenmann hope.
"Without it, we'd be picking up bodies out here, and we have," he said. "It breaks your heart when you have to go out and see a baby dead."
Bixenmann volunteers at Catholic Community Services. He says some of the people who use the services live outside the gates of CCS on the streets.
"So they have no access to a lot of things," he said. "We have a laundry room here. We have showers that don't cost a thing."
It costs roughly $35,000 a year to feed dinner to roughly 400 people a day. That is why after 20 years, the Salvation Army will no longer head up feeding dinners to needy families at the St. Vincent De Paul dining hall at Catholic Community Services.
Homeless advocate Pamela Atkinson said 15 church groups — all denominations, along with businesses, and individuals — will step in to keep the program going.
"We're finding that people are very sympathetic," Atkinson said, "to the fact that it does take money to serve an evening meal despite donations."
The meals include soup, sandwiches, pastries and a drink. It may not sound substantial, but Atkinson says it makes a difference.
"We know that if people don't get nourished, they get sick," she said. "If they're sick, they can't work. Their kids can't go to school and learn."
The volunteer collaboration will donate food items, money and their time to provide dinners. Different groups sign up for days to serve meals. The churches and businesses will donate money and food items, and any other things CCS needs.
Atkinson said there is still a need to fill four more nights each month — and anyone can do it. All it takes is willing hands and the resources to make about 600 sandwiches or meals for your assigned day.
In addition to serving meals, the community volunteer effort hopes to expand into providing other case management services.
The Salvation Army will end its services on Sept. 30 and the community takes over the following day. The organization will then focus on feeding families out of its trucks on the west side of the valley.

Boy Scouts survey seeks feedback on ban of gay Scouts
The results of the survey will be put into a larger report that will be considered by voting members of the National Council before they vote at the National Annual Meeting in May.
Gailey's council was one that asked the board to take more time. He said the survey was the sort of thing they were hoping to see.
"The objective was to do exactly this," he said. "Let's spend some time to talk to those who are partnering with us, our key chartered organizations to find out what would work for them and what would help them deliver the best Scouting program.
"I think it's very Scout-oriented to get everyone involved and be very open and honest in the discussion and really understand well before a decision is made."
Those with a Scout ID that may not have received the survey can respond to it here: Scouting.US.Qualtrics.com.
1. Tom started in the program as a Tiger Cub, and finished every requirement for the Eagle Scout Award at 16 years of age. At his board of review, Tom reveals that he is gay. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for the review board to deny his Eagle Scout award based on that admission?
2. Johnny, a first grade boy, has joined Tiger Cubs with his friends. Johnny's friends and their parents unanimously nominate Johnny's mom, who is known by them to be lesbian, to be the den leader. Johnny's pack is chartered to a church were the doctrine of that faith does not teach that homosexuality is wrong. Is it acceptable or unacceptable for his mother to serve as a den leader for his Cub Scout den?

Eight independent cell lines accumulated ammonia in culture to concentrations between 1.3 and 2.9 mM. The growth inhibition of such concentrations of ammonium chloride when added to culture medium was variable. The cell lines tested could be divided into 3 groups depending on their growth response to 2 mM added NH4CI. In the first group (293, HDF, Vero, and PQXB1/2) little (< 14%) or no growth inhibition occurred. In the second group (McCoy and MDCK) a reduction in final cell yield of 50-60% was observed. The third group (HeLa and BHK) was most sensitive to the effects of NH4CI with growth inhibition (>75%) compared to controls. The growth inhibitory effect of added lactate up to 20 mM was negligible (<10%) for 3 cell lines, although one cell line (PQXB1/2) showed greater sensitivity.
The interactive effects of ammonia and lactate were determined in a matrix experiment. At lactate (> 12 mM) and ammonia (1-4 mM), the growth inhibitory effects of the two components were synergistic. However, at low concentrations of lactate (< 12 mM) the toxic effect of ammonia was reduced. A proposed mechanism for the sparing effect of lactate on ammonia toxicity is discussed. This may have importance in developing strategies for the optimal growth of ammoniasensitive cell lines.

The do-it-yourself, or DIY, culture is one that allows people to create spaces and projects that reflect their own tastes. This means rooms may have wonderful color schemes or interesting patterns. All it takes is stitching together two pieces of fabric to make something wonderful. Having a sewing machine can save creative people a great deal, compared to buying similar apparel, home décor and other items from most retailers. Anyone who wants to learn how to sew may find how easy it is, even if they just use their skills to recycle old items or make alterations to newer items.
Cutting Costs for Family
Most basic sewing classes teach students how to make a simple hem for pants or a skirt. Intermediate students may learn how to adjust the waistline or replace zippers. While some clothing items can be altered with hand sewing, a machine gives apparel a cleaner look and stitches can be adjusted so they last longer. Many of the newer machines have automatic threading that is so easy that almost any member of the family can repair clothes in little time.
Decorating Home and More
These days, people are really getting into making their home a private oasis. This means adding little personalized touches for just about every personality type. Some people like floral, folksy, modern or eclectic designs but sometimes it can take time – and a lot of money – to complete room themes as desired. Anyone with basic sewing techniques can make curtains, napkins, and other décor items. One trend that is popular with apartment dwellers is hanging wall art. This can be a fun project where pieces of fabric are sewn together to make something that is fun and inviting. If wall art is part of a theme, there are no painting issues like dangerous fumes or landlord approval to deal with.
Recycling Clothes
Old clothes can see new life as window dressing for the kitchen or bathroom. If not home décor, it can be altered to become another type of apparel. For those with large families, clothing may be altered to fit another family member. With a little imagination, there are many possibilities for when clothes no longer fit or go out of style.
Learning New Techniques
There are a great number of periodicals on the market that give sewing ideas, along with patterns and resources to fabric and sewing stores across the nation with a large selection of accessories. Most public libraries have books by noted design experts and home decorating gurus who can share tips for every level – from novice to advanced user.
Most fabric and craft stores offer in-person lessons, as well as some colleges and adult schools. These places offer many low-priced tuition and may have advanced classes for those who want to go further.
Making an Investment
Sewing machines of today have many features, are lightweight and more people are getting into fabric art as a hobby. Some talented individuals have gone on to make sewing a small business. Mobile tailor service, clothing or accessory designer, or retail sales are just some of the options people have chosen as a way to earn an income.

LMAO, says the person who can't read
Not true at all. Borgqueen is full of instructive linguistic insight. Go ahead and ask him what the meaning of "strategically position" is. You'll see.
Then perhaps it's my Scottish accent that gets in the way of his understanding?
ROFL! I love the Scottish accent!

- continual leakage;
- leakage bound;
- unbounded delegation;
- provable security
Many attention has been attracted by a new security primitive called leakage-resilient cryptography, which guarantees that the cryptographic system is semantic secure even if the key has been partially leaked, which is due to the side-channel attacks that the part of secret key can be recovered. In this work, we present a leakage-resilient functional encryption that supports unbounded extensible subset delegation, which remains provably secure even if the attacker learns some arbitrary partial information about the secret keys. The proposed scheme provides the tolerance of continual leakage in which both memory leakage and continual leakage are captured, which has many appealing applications because there are multiple secret keys per subset string by periodically refreshing the key. The security relies on the static complex assumptions that are based on the static (bilinear) subgroup decisional problems. Finally, we give the performance evaluation such as the size of public parameters, keys, ciphertexts, leakage bound, and leakage ratio under 80-bit security standard.

University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers will develop satellite surveying technologies that will allow flooding, bushfires, deforestation and earthquakes to be monitored in real time under a USD 4.7 million Australian Space Research Program grant from the Federal Government. Associate Professor Dempster said the SAR Formation Flying project would ultimately enable real-time satellite monitoring of disasters such as floods and fires and may also be used to help predict earthquakes and volcanoes by measuring ground surface distortion. The Australian Defense Department is committed to developing its own SAR satellite capabilities as part of a move to increase its self-reliance in space operations. Source: GIS Development

Never before were we greeted by a hotel GM. He continued to check if all was well and offered any needed assistance to make our stay perfect. When we entered our room, we were breathless with the layout and decor. It was grand to not have a high rise experence. The gardens and courtyard layout of rooms were a much better experience. Every restaurant was excellent. Always happy with our dining and wait staff. We have become advocates of staying at Summer Palace and its sister property, Amanfayun.

It's easy to want to dismiss Jars of Clay's Christmas Songs because, really, the world probably doesn't need another "boys with guitars play Christmas songs" album. That they haven't done it to date (aside from an early EP) in their ten-year career, however, might indicate that they were waiting for the right time, when they had enough quality originals and covers to put out something wonderful. Indeed, Christmas Songs is a wonderful little album, with a version of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" that miraculously doesn't make you want to bang your head against a wall until it bleeds, and a perfectly majestic original called "Peace Is Here", which sounds like something Lennon might have written were he still around. The crowning achievement here is an electronic take on the standard "O Little Town of Bethlehem" which changes the melody entirely, in the process re-establishing the solemnity and quiet majesty of the song. It's hard to say that Christmas Songs will be remembered for years from now, but for right now, it's refuge from the bombast of the season, a perfectly subtle slice of Heaven.

Denard Span
Injury updates on Span, Rendon, Werth, Strasburg and Zim
Jul 17, 2015, 5:46 PM EDT
With four days off for the All-Star break and a large group of notable players on the disabled list, Friday afforded Nationals manager Matt Williams an opportunity to run down a long list of injury updates. Denard Span, Anthony Rendon, Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth and Stephen Strasburg remain sidelined as the team begins the second…
The Baseball Show: On Scherzer's decision, Span's injury
Jul 14, 2015, 1:31 PM EDT
This week's episode of 'The Baseball Show' provided an opportunity to analyze the Nationals at the midway point of the season. They capped off their first half with an impressive series win against the Baltimore Orioles, highlighted by Max Scherzer's near-complete game on Sunday. Scherzer pitched Sunday instead of in Tuesday night's All-Star Game, as…
Span to DL, Zimmermann to paternity list, Barrett activated
Jul 10, 2015, 6:12 PM EDT
[UPDATED: 6:12 p.m.] BALTIMORE — The Nationals placed Denard Span on the disabled list and Jordan Zimmermann on the paternity leave list Friday afternoon, part of a flurry of roster moves before the start of their weekend series against the Orioles. Infielder Wilmer Difo was recalled from Class AA Harrisburg to take Span's roster spot…
Do the Nats need to acquire another bat?
Jul 9, 2015, 11:38 AM EDT
Had they not been rained out Wednesday night, the Nationals would have fielded a lineup boasting only two projected members of their Opening Day lineup: Bryce Harper and Ian Desmond. And when they return to the field Friday night in Baltimore, the Nationals probably won't have more than four regulars available: Harper and Desmond, plus…
Span heading to Dallas for exam, won't play this weekend
Jul 8, 2015, 6:41 PM EDT
Denard Span will travel to Dallas on Thursday to have his injured back examined by a specialist, and though he hasn't been placed on the disabled list yet the Nationals center fielder said he won't play at all in this weekend's series in Baltimore. "No chance," Span said, before adding: "Definitely not helping the team…
Game 85: Reds at Nats
Jul 8, 2015, 3:25 PM EDT
Another day, another depleted lineup card filled out by Matt Williams. Denard Span and Yunel Escobar once again are not playing due to injuries, and as of this posting, the Nationals have announced no roster moves. Which means they'll be playing with an extremely short bench again for tonight's series finale against the Reds. How…
No DL yet, but Span bracing for possibility
Jul 7, 2015, 11:23 PM EDT
Denard Span, in official terms, was still a member of the Nationals' active roster late Tuesday night. The veteran center fielder, though, sure sounded like a guy who believes he needs to take some extended time off with a back injury that just won't go away. "I've tried to play through it for the last…
Span gets MRI, Escobar sits, Zim still not ready to play
Jul 7, 2015, 5:38 PM EDT
After leaving the Nats' loss to the Reds on Monday night with injuries, both Denard Span and Yunel Escobar remained out the starting lineup on Tuesday. Span continues to deal with nagging back spasms, while Escobar is nursing a tight left hamstring. Span had an MRI on Tuesday morning and will find out the results…
Game 84: Reds at Nats
Jul 7, 2015, 3:29 PM EDT
As far as pitching matchups go, they don't get much better right now than Max Scherzer vs. Johnny Cueto. Scherzer, of course, is in the middle of a historic stretch that has seen him throw a no-hitter, a 1-hitter and strike out 42 batters while walking only one. Cueto, meanwhile, owns a 2.84 ERA and…
Span and Escobar go down again
Jul 6, 2015, 11:41 PM EDT
It has become an all-too-familiar scene for the Nationals, a player leaving a game early with an apparent injury. And when it happened twice on Monday night, to two of the club's most-important and most-productive veterans, it could only leave everyone in the organization hoping neither Denard Span nor Yunel Escobar was seriously hurt. The…
Reds 3, Nats 2: D.C. drops fourth straight to Cincy
Jul 6, 2015, 10:17 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: On the heels of an impressive, 3-game sweep of the defending champion Giants, the Nationals opened a 3-game series against a struggling Reds team that for some reason has owned them this season. And the script didn't change on this night. Eugenio Suarez's solo homer off Casey Janssen in the top…
Scherzer named All-Star; Storen, Escobar left out
Jul 6, 2015, 7:19 PM EDT
Max Scherzer was named to the NL All-Star team Monday evening and will join teammate Bryce Harper next week in Cincinnati as the Nationals' lone representatives for the Midsummer Classic. For now. Scherzer, arguably the NL's best pitcher through the season's first half, is the logical choice to start next Tuesday night's game at Great…
Game 77: Nats at Braves
Jun 30, 2015, 3:58 PM EDT
After a wild weekend of baseball in Philadelphia, the Nationals now head to Atlanta to wrap up their road trip with a 3-game series against the Braves. Hey, remember the whole "The Nats can't beat the Braves 'cause they're in their heads" thing? Yeah, that doesn't exist anymore. The Nationals have won eight straight against…
Nats 3, Phillies 2: Strasburg impressive again in victory
Jun 28, 2015, 4:14 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: With uncertainty surrounding the second game of Sunday's doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park, especially on the pitching front, nothing was more important to the Nationals than a strong start from Stephen Strasburg in the opener. Which is exactly what they got. Strasburg again looked like his old self, tossing seven innings…
Game 75*: Nats at Phillies
Jun 28, 2015, 10:34 AM EDT
PHILADELPHIA — Well, it's a beautiful day here in Philly … guess we might as well play two! Yes, after yesterday's rain-shortened, 1 1/2-inning fiasco, we're back for a traditional, old-fashioned doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. The Nationals and Phillies get underway with Game 1 at 1:05 p.m., then will pick right up with Game…
Nats getting by despite makeshift lineup
Jun 27, 2015, 2:08 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA — The Nationals submitted a lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies that featured only one player projected to start on Opening Day (Ian Desmond) hitting in a spot he rarely has held in his career (third). Such is life for Matt Williams right now, with six of his regular position players currently out…
Game 75: Nats at Phillies
Jun 27, 2015, 11:43 AM EDT
PHILADELPHIA — Good morning from Citizens Bank Park, where the tarp is on the field and the rain is on the way. The forecast is not good this afternoon, and it only gets worse tonight, leaving the status of this 3:05 p.m. game between the Nationals and Phillies very much in question. Also in question…
UPDATE: Rendon to DL, Harper and Span out again
Jun 26, 2015, 2:36 PM EDT
Updated at 6:33 p.m. PHILADELPHIA — Just when it looked like Anthony Rendon was finding his groove at the plate, the Nationals' dynamic infielder finds himself back in an all-too-familiar place: the disabled list. Rendon was placed on the 15-day DL Friday with a strained left quadriceps muscle, the latest physical ailment to derail his…
Janssen, Carpenter provide experience to Nats bullpen
Jun 24, 2015, 7:29 PM EDT
The Nationals' bullpen has been through its fair share of changes this season, largely due to injuries up and down their pitching staff. Those circumstances have forced the Nats to at times call on rookies to come up and fill in. They have also relied heavily on second-year pros such as Aaron Barrett – who is also…
Span and Rendon set the tone again
Jun 24, 2015, 11:00 AM EDT
For much of the 2014 season, while injuries took their toll on the rest of the Nationals lineup, it was the combination of Denard Span and Anthony Rendon that led the way. Both players earned NL MVP votes as arguably the best one-two punch at the top of the order in baseball. Span led the…
Nats 3, Braves 1: Strasburg sharp in return from DL
Jun 24, 2015, 12:09 AM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: Stephen Strasburg took the mound for the first time in 25 days, fresh off a DL stint that was as much about getting himself right mechanically as it was getting himself right physically, and quickly reminded everyone just how good he can be. Strasburg, after waiting out a 2-hour, 12-minute rain…
Game 67: Rays at Nats
Jun 18, 2015, 3:33 PM EDT
So, they scored 16 runs on 23 hits Tuesday night. Then they were shut out on two hits Wednesday night. What on earth can we expect from the Nationals tonight in their series finale against the Rays? Your guess is as good as mine, though they face an extra challenge in this one with Tampa…
Banged-up Span legs out a win for battered Nats
Jun 10, 2015, 6:40 PM EDT
NEW YORK — He had already come back from two abdominal surgeries in three months, then a sore knee that kept him out of a couple of games last week. And now Denard Span was trying to play through a bad back that had sidelined him from Tuesday night's series opener against the Yankees and…
Game 59: Nats at Yankees
Jun 10, 2015, 10:19 AM EDT
NEW YORK — Hello again from Yankee Stadium, where today this very brief, 2-game series wraps up with a matinee, getaway-day game. The Nationals, losers in nine of their last 11 games, really need this one. The Yankees, on the other hand, are riding a 7-game winning streak and have opened up a 2 1/2-game…
Span leaves Nats' loss with back spasms
Jun 7, 2015, 8:24 PM EDT
Denard Span left Sunday afternoon's loss to the Chicago Cubs with back spasms, adding yet another ailment to a long list of them for the Nationals center fielder this season. Span missed three games earlier in the week with a sore right knee. He also missed time in early May with soreness in his abdomen.…

What the Farmers Insurance Suit Tell Us About Climate Change
Rob Moore, Senior Policy Analyst, Chicago
A lawsuit filed in Illinois by Farmers Insurance claims that the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), the City of Chicago, and 101 other municipalities and county offices has gotten attention recently from the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, Marketplace , and E&E News. Farmers Insurance claims that MWRD and the municipalities are liable for damages resulting from a storm in April 2013 because they knew that their stormwater infrastructure was insufficient to deal with extreme precipitation brought on in part by climate change.
Setting aside the merits of the case or whether MWRD and the cities named in the complaint are at fault or not, rest assured that you'll be seeing more cases like this one. Litigation is a symptom of what happens when the response to a recognized problem is insufficient. The system breaks down when remedies are not evident and parties take their claims to court to find relief. That's certainly the situation when looking at preparedness for climate impacts.
Federal, state, and local governments clearly have a responsibility to identify the future impacts of climate change, the risks posed by those impacts, and to plan and prepare accordingly. This is starting to happen at all levels of government, but not at the pace we need if we are to keep ahead of the curve.
We are in the middle of the biggest risk management exercise of all time. And so far, we're not moving fast enough to deal with risks of flooding, drought, sea level rise, etc. that will continue to grow in scale, frequency, and complexity. Our systems for managing stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water are not designed with the future impacts of climate change in mind. Neither are our energy or transportation systems.
There is a real role for the industry to advocate for solutions and use their clout to help advance them. But the insurance industry has not been particularly vocal about the need to deal with climate change, with the exception of the big re-insurance companies like Munich Re, Swiss Re, and Zurich Re (the companies that sell insurance to insurance companies and cover their losses). Nor has the industry in general factored in the risks climate change poses to its business.
According to a climate risk disclosure survey of 184 insurance companies compiled by Ceres, very few primary insurers (the companies you and I deal with for insurance) are factoring climate change risks into their operations. "Out of 184 companies, only eleven provided disclosure of sufficient quality and detail to tally more than half the eligible points in two of the four domains," covered by the survey. It's worth noting that Farmers was among those eleven, as were some of the biggest re-insurance companies on the planet including Munich Re, Swiss Re, and Zurich.
We all need to get ready for what the future is already serving up. Extreme precipitation events that cause flooding, sea level rise, the increasing risk of drought and water scarcity. We are going to be dealing with a lot of new challenges from here on out and we are going to be dealing with them far more frequently. Those that are smart enough to look ahead and start preparing for our climate future are going to find it a lot easier to deal with those challenges.
For the insurance industry, it is time to get cracking. Beyond trying to find others to pay the price for inaction, they should be more engaged in the solutions discussion. That means looking at the properties they insure, the investments they make to hedge against losses, and even their active support for actions to on preparing for climate impacts and to slow climate change, such as the Obama administration's upcoming carbon pollution standards for power plants. It's not just the right thing to do for their bottom line; it's the right thing to do.

Lewis Perelman says:
From the Christian Science Monitor report on this:
"Chicago says it is already spending heavily on infrastructure to adapt to changing weather and has a comprehensive Climate Action Plan.
"But the city's foresight may have made it a target, said Verchick, since Farmers cites the document as evidence officials were aware of the risks."
In other words, this kind of litigation could have the effect of discouraging communities from making plans to cope with climate change.
Moreover, Washington-based climate adaptation specialist Bill Rohring has pointed out: "...the rainfall was within the current 100-year plan and the system should have been able to handle it. If that is true, then that points to a 'simple' negligence case." (He also notes that in court, 'simple' can get complicated.)
Note further that it is impossible to predict local impacts of AGW (other than maybe SLR), or to attribute particular weather events to AGW. Actuarial risk is based on historical data, and the assumption that statistical trends will continue. Insurers purchase reinsurance to protect them against unusual events outside the norm. Insurers are supposed to set their premiums at a level that will enable them to cover the costs of their actuarial risks. If Farmers failed to charge adequate premiums to meet its obligations, the fault for any deficit would seem to be with insurance company, not with the local governments.
Insurers normally give premium discounts to customers who undertake risk-mitigation measures -- such as installing sprinklers in a factory to deter fire damage. But the insuree is not obligated to do so. Again, the premiums are supposed to reflect the actual risk, not the ideally mitigated risk. It also is normal practice for insurers to deny policies to customers who pose excessive risk.
Per Rohring's observation though, if the local governments failed to provide proper infrastructure protection in accordance with their own plans, and moreover failed to accurately communicate the efficacy of the flood control infrastructure to the public and to insurers, they might be considered negligent. However, they may be immune from legal liability. For instance, following Hurricane Katrina, investigation revealed the flood walls that failed to protect New Orleans were improperly constructed and other infrastructure was not properly maintained -- a failure attributed to a combination of bureaucratic incompetence and endemic corruption. Nevertheless, a federal judge eventually dismissed the many lawsuits against the US Army Corps of Engineers, upholding the latter's claim of immunity.
Addressing the general question of whether governments can be held liable for failure to adapt to climate change, Prof. J.B. Ruhl, Vanderbilt U., has written:
"On the other hand, when public authorities have already provided protective infrastructure at some scale, their knowledge that the infrastructure is inadequate to protect against known increased risks has in some cases led to liability for negligence, though some courts have held there is no inherent duty to upgrade facilities. See e.g., City of El Paso v. Ramirez, 349 S.W.3d 181 (Tex. App. 2011) (city aware of potential for overflow from retention pond was negligent in not taking measures to prevent such overflows); Coleman v. Portage County Engineer, 2012 WL 3734459 (Ohio Aug. 29, 2012) (failure to upgrade is different from failure to maintain and is subject to local immunity). One recent example is Livingston v. Virginia Department of Transportation, 2012 WL 2036936 (Va. June 7, 2012), in which the court held the state transportation agency could be held liable for flooding during an extraordinary storm event based on its failure to maintain a dredge channel it had modified. As with the federal flood liability litigation discussed above, federal and state sovereign immunity law will be an important factor in determining the scope of public liability in such "failure to adapt" cases."
Either way, any liability in the Minnesota case should be considered a matter of normal risk management, not related to climate change.

Oct. 7, 2013
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State men's tennis player Sebastian Schneider has been named the America First Credit Union Utah State Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending Sunday, Oct. 6, in an award that is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
This is the first time in his Aggie career the freshman has received the award.
During the week, Schneider, a Stockholm, Sweden native, won the Orange Flight singles bracket at the Boise State-hosted Dar Walters Tennis Classic in Boise, Idaho. Schneider won his first contest over Montana's Eric Braun (6-4, 7-5) before defeating Portland State's Brent Wheeler (4-6, 6-4, 6-3). In the quarterfinals, Schneider only lost three games as he beat Seattle's Riley Newman (6-3, 6-0). Schneider then squared off agains the bracket's number-one seed, in-state rival Weber State's Caio Poitena, and won a closely contested three-set match (2-6, 7-6, 6-1). Schneider completed his run with a win in straight sets over Montana's Peter Mimnagh-Fleming (7-6 (4-0), 7-5).
Schneider also went 1-1 in doubles with freshman teammate Dennis Baumgartner, finishing the weekend with a 6-1 record.
Fans can follow Utah State Athletics, including both USU tennis teams, at http://twitter.com/USUMensTennis or on Facebook at http://facebook.com/UtahStateMensTennis
Nominees from other sports for USU Student-Athlete of the Week included:
MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY - Senior Kyle McKenna (Farmington, Utah) placed 31st out of 397 runners with a time of 24:38 in the College Men's Gold 8K Race at the 40th annual Paul Short Run, hosted by Lehigh University last weekend. McKenna, whose time is the fastest eight-kilometer race in the Mountain West Conference thus far this season, helped Utah State finish ninth overall out of 47 teams.
WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY - Freshman Tori Parkinson (Wellsville, Utah) placed 87th out of a field of 406 runners with a time of 21:41 in the College Women's Gold 6K Race at the 40th annual Paul Short Run, hosted by Lehigh University last weekend helping Utah State place 21st out of 48 teams.
FOOTBALL - Senior linebacker Jake Doughty (Draper, Utah) recorded 14 tackles to go along with a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss in Utah State's 31-14 home loss to BYU last weekend. Doughty also had a quarterback hurry against the Cougars.
SOCCER - Senior forward Jennifer Flynn (Sandy, Utah) scored the game-winning goal in Utah State's 1-0 win against Wyoming last weekend in its only match of the week. The senior led the Aggies with five of USU's 10 shots against UW, three of which were on goal. She also played a season-high 62 minutes, while starting her third match of the season. Flynn's goal in the 52nd minute against the Cowgirls was her third of the season and her second game-winning goal of the year.
VOLLEYBALL - Junior middle blocker Kaitlyn VanHoff (Draper, Utah) posted 10 kills and a team-high four blocks in Utah State's 3-0 loss to New Mexico last week. VanHoff, who hit .269 (10-3-26) against the Lobos, added one dig in the match.

Gilberto Santa Rosa
Calling an artist a living legend in print can be a tricky business, with the risk of vocal naysayer upheaval very real. It requires either a certain disregard for reader opinion or a subject whose trajectory speaks so loudly for itself that the writer's words become less an affirmation than mere statement of fact. Gilberto Santa Rosa is just such an artist.
Over the course of 20-plus years in the genre, the man known and loved the world over as "El Caballero de la Salsa" has been at the forefront of tropical music. He's released one album after another of instant hits, garnering awards and accolades, representing his native Puerto Rico, and championing a unique style of singing known as soneo, salsa's answer to freestyle. He's also a prodigious interpreter of bolero, a slow-groove style of romantic music that originated in Cuba. (For the best example of the latter, see his 2003 release, Solo Bolero, a collection of ten tender favorites including "Pueden Decir," "Como He Podido Estar Sin Ti," and "Mentira.")
But undoubtedly among his most famous contributions to Latin music was a mid-'90s performance given at New York's famed Carnegie Hall, the first of its kind. It's from that concert that came his live disc En Vivo Desde el Carnegie Hall, which features an extended version of his hit "Perdoname" that included a four-minute soneo. The disc immediately became a favorite among salsa lovers and a classic of the genre. And today, Santa Rosa's impact and influence on tropical music remain as vital as ever.

In sum, it is worthier that its price, so I strongly recommend to try.
James and Rachel are great host, from the first day, he supported to make a soomth settle down, with his openness and kindness.
The room was exactly as it appeared in the photos—very spacious and quiet—and it and the bathroom were very clean and tastefully decorated.
Everything went quite smoothly and I cannot be more thankful to Ryan/James/his girlfriend for making my stay very easy and comfortable.
The host and hostess made me feel welcome.They invited me to have dinner with them on my last night. I appreciated the gesture very much.
I couldn't interact very much with the hosts as I departed for work early and arrived late.
James and Rachel are great host, from the first day, he supported to make a soomth settle down, with his openness and kindness. He always make the apartment clean and orderly, and a nice room to stay. Time by time, we even share some interesting conversation in the lovely kitchen.
All these make my trip at Redwood to be wonderful experience,
thank you, James and Rachel.
A really nice place! Very comfortable room. Hosts were super nice people and very well organized. Great place to stay if you're doing some work at Stanford or visiting the Bay Area.
Host is a great guy. James and Rachel are super friendly and interesting people, and they were very helpful with anything I needed, directions, transportation, it was all great. Neighborhood is decent, I walked home every day for a month with no problem. It's about a 20 minute walk to the Caltrain station/downtown Redwood City, so it's just outside of convenient but still do-able. Wifi is good, room itself is nice, little perks in the room and bathroom were very useful (iron, little soaps, floor fan, etc.).
Everything went quite smoothly and I cannot be more thankful to Ryan/James/his girlfriend for making my stay very easy and comfortable. My flight was delayed a few hours, yet they were nice enough to accommodate me. The bedroom itself was quite large and clean. Also, I greatly appreciate the exceptional communication
Excellent place to stay and James is a great host. I arrived there over the weekend and all the information I needed was nicely documented in my room. I found it really impressive and professional. Kitchen is open to guests and you can use it for tea, coffee or snacks. I stayed there for a month and the place is nice, extremely clean and very close to the near by market/restaurants. You are just a walk away from all the cool food joints and even the Redwood city downtown is just a 10 min walk. I loved my evening walks on El Camino Real. Thanks for everything, keep in touch.
Great place, great location and great company. I really enjoyed my stay at Ryan & Friends. James and Rachel were really helpful and made the whole experience super easy. I highly recommend this place for the Bay area.

This guy's such a punk, mouthing off to an official.
This guy's such a punk, mouthing off to an official.
He was just explaining to the ref that they beat themselves.
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
Giants are 1st team in NFL history to lose first 2 games of season despite leading by 10 or more points in 4th quarter of each game (ELIAS).
I think I saw him mouth "**** you" to the official
Which is why we should give no attention to punks. Their words and opininions are meaningless. We should have ejected him on this site rater than pondering his words.
No one remembers who came in second.
Sounds like a good opportunity for a guess the fine game. I'll go with $20,000.
