|Grandkids of slain officer read poem in Avery
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 15 May 2007 10:19
The mood was solemn at today's Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony in Avery County as citizens gathered to remember and appreciate sacrifices law enforcement officers have made in the High Country.Among those honored was Deputy Glen Hicks who was killed answering a call on Old Beech Mountain on February 20, 2003. His son, Deputy John Hicks, was an honored guest at the ceremony. His children, the slain deputy's grandchildren, read a poem as the youngest child released a balloon.
The children were not the only poets to express loss and appreciation for Hicks' sacrifice. His son, John, had words as well.
Tears and proud smiles were contagious as the Pat Ray Post of the VFW performed its 21 gun salute. To the bagpipe background of Ella Markland, Avery County Sheriff Frye thanked his officers for their service, and encouraged High Country citizens to do the same.

Read: Maybe There Wasn't Any Progress Yesterday…..
Larry Brooks tweets, "Appears as if initial reads off yesterdays meeting-mine included-were off. Little, if anything, achieved. PA holding firm on contract issues"
Last night, Louis Jean, a TV reporter from Montreal tweeted:
- A source informs me that: "It's going very well and are very encouraging and interesting exchanges."
12:42PM: Elliotte Friedman says that the best part of yesterday was both sides showing a willingness to negotiate. He says that it's the first step in what should lead to the lockout being resolved.
The players taking part in the meetings today are Backes, Campoli, Darche, Hainsey, Lucic, Malhotra, S. Thornton, Westgarth.
12:58PM: Pierre LeBrun tweets that after today, when the Make Whole proposal will be discussed, we will have a better indication on where the talks are going.
Friedman added that only when the two sides can agree on the process of the make whole, will other things start to fall into place.

Every now and then I find a recipe using asparagus which gives me hope in using this vegetable that was never part of my childhood meals. With this in mind, I never wanted to try the long, slender funny looking vegetable. Broccoli was a stretch for me as a child. I disliked most vegetables.
Last night for the dinner party I cooked for, they chose this salad and I have to admit I was pleased with the results. Too bad I didn't get a taste for myself but all twelve of the diners loved it. I'm going to buy some asparagus and make some for my family. I have my own home-grown cherry tomatoes, but as you can see, I used grape tomatoes in this salad. I think the simple dressing is what makes this so tasty-there is enough zing without taking away from the individual flavors of the vegetables.
adapted from Italian Food Forever
Asparagus, Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
Serves 4
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch sections
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/4 cup green onions, sliced into rounds, using as much of green as desired
3-4 cups Sweet Spring Mix lettuce
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the asparagus for 4 minutes or so until crisp-tender. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and immerse into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain when cool. Add to a large bowl with the tomatoes and onions. Mix the oil, vinegar and mustard in a separate bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour dressing over vegetables. Add about 1 cup of lettuce to each plate, top with vegetables, add torn pieces of mozzarella and serve immediately. If you prepare the dressing ahead of time, wait until almost ready to serve before combining with the vegetables. Add any dressing left in the bowl over the salads.
Here is a shot of the dinner table with the salads. I think the hostess has wonderful taste in colors and decor.

Robert Pero sailed through the Utah Senate confirmation process Friday with a unanimous vote to appoint him to the Utah Tax Commission.
Once the senators made the governor's recommendation official, Pero released a one-sentence letter to the county commission resigning his post as County Clerk/Auditor, effective immediately. That letter ended a term of service in the county office of nearly two decades and began and new phase of his career.
Sen. John L. Valentine (R-Orem) told his colleagues that the Revenue and Taxation Confirmation Committee he chairs held a "robust" hearing on Pero's appointment. The committee forwarded a unanimous recommendation to the full senate.
"We found him to be a qualified candidate and a quality individual," Valentine said.
Sen. David Hinkins (R-Orangeville) welcomed Pero to a new neighborhood in the Salt Lake Valley. "I hope you can breathe the air up here," Hinkins joked.
Pero came to the clerk/auditor's position from Soldier Creek Mine, where he had been accounting and data processing supervisor.
He had also served a stint at Thiokol as a statistical analyst. Pero earned a Master's Degree in computer science and applied statistics from Utah State University and his Bachelor's in business and economics from the University of Utah.
Meanwhile, the county's Democratic Party Central Committee has selected Seth Oveson to replace Pero for the balance of the term.
Party Chair Jason Llewelyn has asked to be placed on the commission's agenda this Wednesday to formally announce the selection and to have the commissioners install Oveson as clerk/auditor.

|Thursday, 15 August 2013 13:53
High Country Crime Stoppers and Boone Police seek the public's assistance in solving the following crime: On August 8, 2013, just after 9:00 PM, an unknown white male entered the Cracker Barrel located at 1601 Blowing Rock Road brandishing a weapon and demanding money.
The suspect fled the area on foot towards the Shops at Shadowline parking lot. A witness observed a suspicious vehicle in the Shops at Shadowline parking lot during the time of the robbery and it is possible this vehicle picked the assailant up.

The vehicle appeared to be in decent condition with no known abnormalities or modifications.
Anyone with information on this crime or any other crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 828-268-6959 / 828-737-0125 or the Boone Police Department at 828-268-6900. All information will be kept confidential.

Video: Shamrock Run 2013
BUFFALO, NY - The season for celebrating the Irish and everything green has begun. The annual Shamrock Run wound its way through the streets of the Old First Ward Saturday afternoon.
The race sold out with a record 5,500 runners signed up. And organizers made some changes for this year, including a 5k fun walk in addition to the traditional full 8k race. Also new for this year, all the registered runners received those popular Shamrock Run jackets.
And considering it's part of the season, runners were able to treat themselves with some corned beef and a cold one after the race.
This is the 35th year for the big event. All the money raised goes to the Old First Ward Community Association.

WADDINGTON A beloved tradition could be thundering back to the St. Lawrence River this year.
As part of its ongoing efforts to pump more tourism dollars into the north country economy and bring more people to experience the beauty of the St. Lawrence River, town and village officials are hoping to bring back hydroplane boat races.
I am excited because this is another venue in which we can build on tourism in St. Lawrence County, Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said Wednesday.
Robert J. Giordano said he and fellow organizers are looking to tap a group of Canadian hydroplane enthusiasts who participate annually in the Valleyfield Regatta in Quebec to organize races out of Whittaker Park in the village.
We spoke with them and they came down for a site visit and took a look at Waddington and the surrounding areas, Mr. Giordano said. They said Waddington was well positioned to host a very large race with two days of racing. They looked at Coles Creek to camp, as well.
The races will include multiple classes and boats, and is considered the NASCAR of boat racing, Mr. Giordano said.
We want to make it a permanent race location for every season, he said.
About 150,000 spectators attend the Valleyfield Regatta championship race. Mr. Giordano said the races could potentially draw thousands of people from both sides of the U.S.-Canada border.
Its a very popular event and it is exciting, Mr. Giordano said. They would set up a festival here as well, much like the Bassmaster Elite tournament in August.
Traditionally, the Waddington Fire Department hosted speed boat races. But increases in costs caused officials to stop the races several years ago.
It took a lot of work to put on a show like this, Mr. Giordano said. Now it is changed a little bit. When these guys come into town, they have their own insurance and equipment, and all we have to provide for them is a facility and space.
Mrs. Otto-Cassada said tourism is the key to Waddingtons future.
Events like these are a huge economic boost for the area, she said. I am extremely happy with the work we are doing to encourage more and more events to come to the area. We will continue to search for more events in the future.
The Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown Bassmaster Elite Tournament in August generated $1.03 to $3.38 million and brought a total of 34,100 people to the region.
Approximately 250 anglers will again take to the St. Lawrence River from Waddington Sept. 24 to 26 for the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals.
The hydroplane races are tentatively scheduled for June 14 and 15.
A joint meeting between the town and village will be held Tuesday at 6 p.m. to discuss the races. Organizers are hoping that many people will attend to share their ideas on how to make the races a well attended event in the region.
We are going to need volunteers, Mr. Giordano said. We want to have a lot of people involved.

Park Tool HHP-2 Bearing Cup Press
Park Tool has the answer to your headset and cartridge cup pressing needs. The HHP-2 accurately aligns and presses 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", and 1.5" headset cups. In addition, it presses cartridge bearings and cups into one-piece bottom bracket shells and holds fixed cup wrenches firmly in place when removing or installing adjustable-type bottom brackets.
Super expensive, and doesn't come with everything you need to press bottom bracket bearings. Unfortunately, what this products description doesn't make clear is that the #669 bushings used to install a press fit bottom bracket are not included with HHP-2. For the price of this tool, it seems like they could easily be included. Yes, this is a good press fit tool, but it should only be used with bottom brackets with the #669 bushings which are not included with the tool. I've purchased a lot of Park Tool tools in the past, and this is the first time I've felt that an expensive tool of theirs has really come up short, as it is really only a Headset Bearing Cup Press without the purchase of the additional #669 bushings, which are a significant additional cost for the average home bike mechanic. (The #669 bushings are included as part of BBT-90.3, which also includes the tool to remove an existing bottom bracket.) If you're looking at buying this tool to install press fit headsets and bottom brackets, make sure to factor in the cost of the BBT-90.3, at which point you're looking at roughly $200 all in. Ouch.
Just purchased this thru PP and used it on my recent DH bike build. Tried using a home built unit but was having issues aligning the headset into the steering tube. The local bike shop was busy and eventhough they were willing to do it for a few bucks, the wait time was unacceptable. So, after several attempts with my home built unit, I gave up and ordered this tool. When it arrived, I was surprised to see it. This is one hefty delicated tool. Within 5 minutes my new headset was on the bike. I am very impressed with this tool. With the two handles and the pre-cut grooves on the shaft, setup was a cinch and pressing the bearing cup was effortless. The two die presses automatically sets to the size of the headset and aligns the press. It's become a valuable tool in my home shop and now that I have it, I will be replacing two other worn out headsets and converting one from a straight to a tapered tube fork. Sometimes PP will have a sale or a discount so unless your in a hurry, wait and take the hard to pass up deal.

"As a business owner, I've enjoyed seven years of reduced rates," said Helper Mayor Dean Armstrong, speaking of his electricity bill at R&A Market.
But those days are over. Armstrong's bill, as with other small commercial customers on Helper's electric system, will be going up slightly.
The council did not even have to vote on this at last Thursday's special meeting. That's because a previous council voted on the increase in 2004 but the rate change was not implemented for some reason.
The oversight was discovered as Armstrong and councilman Robert Bradley pored over the books and rate structure in an effort to establish what the mayor called an "equitable adjustment" in the city's fee schedules.
As the they compared Helper's electric schedule with Rocky Mountain Power's, R&A's monthly bill was taken as a test case for business customers that use less than 10,000 kilowatt-hours per month. That's how the oversight was discovered.
There's no one to blame for the mistake, the mayor told the council, but it's something that shows the city is "plugging leaks in the dike" as it finds them.
What Armstrong and Bradley found was that Helper's bills are pretty much in line with the big utility's, despite what at first glance appears to be a big disparity in some kilowatt-hour charges. While RMP may have some rates in the four-cent range and Helper's are around nine cents, Helper does not have non-energy-related fees tacked on to its bills, such as RMP's customer service fee.
One rate change is in the works that will affect only one customer - Morgantown Machine. Morgantown is the only customer on a recently-completed 1.5 megawatt capacity power line. This is the only dedicated power line in the city, which, as Armstrong explained, means that if the lights go out elsewhere in town, Morgantown's will remain on.
For that reason, the city is creating a new Industrial Dedicated line rate. It is intended to reflect not only the premium for high-demand exclusive service, but also to recoup the costs of line construction in four years or less.
Another measure to bring revenue in line with expense is a 30 cent per can increase in garbage collecion fees. This is a simple pass-through of changes in contract costs.

It turns out that as well equipped as Mr. [Garrett] Oliver's brewery [The Brooklyn Brewery] is, it doesn't have an actual stove, something he needed to cook up a batch of malt mash. It's a special malt that was smoked in the same room with some of the bacon made by the legendary Allan Benton. "It's almost terrifying how much the malt smells like bacon," Mr. Oliver said.
He plans to brew about 15 gallons of barleywine with that malt. In the meantime, he's been infusing a brown ale with the flavor of Benton's bacon fat through a technique known as "fat washing." Oh, and the bacon-fat-infused ale was also aged in bourbon barrels, because bourbon and bacon go together like, um, beer and bacon.
Eventually, the barleywine with the bacon-smoked malt and the bourbon-aged, bacon-fat-infused ale would be blended to create one monstrously bizarre beer.
"One of two things will happen," Mr. Oliver predicted. "Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you've ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth."

Coal production from Carbon County mines could decline by as much as 95 percent over the next ten years, and even under the most optimistic conditions it is expected to be about half of current output by 2023.
That is the forecast of the Utah Geologic Survey, recently analyzed and published by the University of Utah's Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
The study considers that environmental concerns, development of competitive energy resources and technologies, availability of new mining permits and viability of export markets will all affect the future of coal. In the worst case, Carbon's production collapses to just 500,000 tons per year after 2020 from the estimated 10 million tons today.
BEBR research analyst Michael Hogue said that in this situation, just about everything goes wrong. The Carbon Plant and other nearby generating plants go into retirement and aren't replaced because environmental constraints make coal-fired generation uneconomical. New markets overseas don't open.
In the best case, with new technology in pollution control making new power plants possible and Pacific Rim export markets expanding, the county's mines will still taper off to 5.5 million tons per year by 2023. Emery County would then be the king of the coalfields with a predicted output of 11 million tons.
Since coal accounts for 82 percent of the electricity generated in Utah, the future of generating plants is the future of coal. Only a few years ago, coal accounted for roughly 90 percent of electric generation, but while no coal plants have shut down, new generation has shifted to natural gas, the report notes.
One of the factors involved in the UGS low-production scenario is the absence of any new coal-fired generation in recent years. There are four proposals still on the drawing board that have yet to gain approval: an addition to the Bonanza Plant near Vernal, another unit at the Intermountain Power Project near Delta, Hunter 4 at Castle Dale and a new plant at Sigurd. All face environmental challenges and a lot of uncertainty about what shape greenhouse gas regulations will take.
The BEBR study notes that one potential rescue of the coal industry might be in technological progress in coal coal conversion to cleaner-burning gas. The newer plants might be so-called Integrated Gas Combined Cycle models. In these generators, the coal is converted into gas by a simple chemical process, then the gas is burned to power a turbine generator. Waste heat from the turbine is harnessed to produce steam, which then propels another turbine generator.
A lot of pollutants such as sulfur are left behind in the conversion process, and carbon dioxide emissions are also reduced, the report notes.
Carbon capture and storage technology has a long way to go before it is commercially viable, the report says.
The projected economic impacts of the anticipated decline will be covered in the next report of this series. However, it is worth noting in advance that the mining and electric power industries account for more than basic payrolls of their employees.
People who work in manufacturing, sales and services that support the mines and plants have incomes tied to energy. And those who are directly and indirectly employed in coal production spend their wages locally, supporting hundreds of other jobs in retail and services in Carbon County.

By Kevin Oklobzija - Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
Since Wednesday is Day 1 for NHL training camps, that means one thing for sure: The suffering officially begins for the Buffalo Sabres.
With the Sabres admittedly in rebuilding mode, general manager Darcy Regier warned fans in April that there may very well be "suffering" as talented youngsters adjust to the NHL game, either on the fly in Buffalo or during an apprenticeship with the Rochester Americans.
The team fired the longest-tenured coach in the NHL in February, traded its captain in early April and missed the Stanley Cup playoff party for the second consecutive season.
So as camp begins with player medicals on Wednesday, there are a multitude of questions that must be answered in the coming weeks and months.
Such as:
1. Will Ryan Miller be the goalie on opening night as well as in March?
At the moment, opening night seems to be a sure thing. But unless the Sabres are somehow firmly entrenched in a playoff position as the March 4 trade deadline nears, the chances are very good that Miller will be moved.
He's 33; not old, but also not a guy upon which to build the future either. He will become an unrestricted free agent in July, so Regier will need to get something for him before he skates away. Come March, there will be a contender that believes they are one really good goalie away from making a deep run in the playoffs.
2. How much longer will Thomas Vanek wear the Sabres uniform?
Vanek has played eight seasons with the Sabres and he's their one legitimate scoring threat, a go-to guy every opponent must worry about. He does things with the puck in the tightest of spaces in a game that no one else on the Sabres can do in practice.
But he, too, will be an unrestricted free agent in July, and it's pretty clear he'd like to win now. He has value because there just aren't that many available players who can do what he does.
3. When will Cody Hodgson finally show up?
As of Tuesday, Hodgson still was not signed. He's a restricted free agent, having just completed his entry-level contract, so he has little leverage, if any.
And the Sabres surely don't feel any urgency to have owner Terry Pegula drill another natural gas well and give the deed to Hodgson. They aren't going to contend for the Stanley Cup with or without him, so you can bet Regier will be beyond patient when it comes to signing a guy who is a solid player but hardly a star.
That said, the Sabres have so little depth at center that they do need Hodgson's play-making.
4. Can Mikhail Grigorenko be an impact player?
He wasn't quite ready for the NHL last season but was too good for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. So in essence, he wasted a whole lot of the second half once the NHL lockout ended. He played in 25 games with Buffalo but scored just 1 goal and 4 assists.
A summer of working out, coupled with a better understanding of the league and his teammates, should give him much more confidence this season.
5. Is Zemgus Girgensons ready for the big time?
The Latvian Locomotive was the youngest player (18) in the American Hockey League last season as an Amerk and the organization weened him into the pro game. They had him play left wing instead of his preferred position of center and didn't give him power-play time early in in the season.
But come Calder Cup playoff time, he was the Amerks' best forward, asserting himself physically in puck battles while also showing a great deal of confidence with the puck.
He may not start in Buffalo, but he'll surely make his NHL debut sometime this season.
6. Is Ron Rolston an NHL coach?
He was able to coax from a medicore-at-best lineup some decent play down the stretch last spring. Promoted from Rochester on Feb. 20, he guided the Sabres to a 15-11-5 record. There were nights the team was horrible, but on most occasions his players competed.
His challenges this season are to get players to believe the team is good enough, to make sure Miller and Vanek will be cornerstones and not distractions, and to get the most out of Grigorenko, defenseman Tyler Myers and forwards Ville Leino.
7. Which 18-year-old, first-round draft pick from June, Rasmus Ristolainen or Nikita Zadorov, is ready to pitch in on defense?
Probably neither, at least not in October. But Ristolainen isn't that far away. He has size, can skate and played against men in the Finnish Elite League last season. He'll quite likely become accustomed to the North American game with the Amerks, then be given a look with the Sabres.
Zadorov will get another year of development in the Ontario Hockey League but the Sabres know his punishing 6-foot-5, 221-pound frame will be part of their future.
8. Can Marcus Foligno rebound from a not-so-great 2013 NHL season?
As a rookie in 2011-12, Foligno joined the Sabres late in the season and unexpectedly became a major contributor. He scored 6 goals, 7 assists and 13 points in the final 13 games. He even earned NHL rookie-of-the-month honors.
But when expected to produce last season, too often he didn't. He scored just 5-13-18 in 45 games. The Sabres need him to be a raging bull in the corners but also to barge to the net and create offense in and around the paint.
9. Will the real Tyler Myers please stand up? Or was he standing last season?
As a rookie in 2009-10, and again the following season, Myers was dynamite. Now, if someone could just figure out where he went.
Last season he scored only 3-5-8 and often seemed confused with defensive-zone coverage. Too often he hesitated before reacting, or inexplicably took the wrong man. It's hard to imagine a 6-foot-8, 227-pound player with four years of NHL experience being timid, but he was.
Perhaps a summer of reflection (and working out), plus guidance from veteran Henrik Tallinder, will enable Myers to once again be a impact player.
10. Any chance Ville Leino can be the guy the Sabres thought they signed as a free agent in the summer of 2011?
Injuries limited Leino to just eight games last season (2-4-6), hardly the rebound from his underwhelming season of 2011-12 when he produced just 8-17-25 in the first year of a six-year, $27-million contract.
Perhaps the first step in Leino become an impact player will be defining his role.
11. Can Steve Ott's style of play become contagious?
No one plays with more grit, guts and gumption than Ott. He is always on the go, always working and always finding a way to anger opponents. His value go so far beyond what any stat sheet says.
And there it is, 11 questions that must be answered at some point. What the Sabres really could use, however, is their original No. 11 - Gilbert Perreault - in his prime.

By Fareed Zakaria
It is the defining moment of a democracy – an outgoing leader celebrates the election of a new one, from the opposing party. Think of George H.W. Bush welcoming Bill Clinton, or Jimmy Carter doing the same for Ronald Reagan. Across the world, this is the acid test of a real democracy. Mexicans will tell you that they knew that they had gotten there when President Ernesto Zedillo, after 70 years of one-party rule, allowed free elections and stood with his newly elected successor and affirmed his legitimacy.
The basic and powerful idea behind this ritual is that in a democracy, the process is more important than the outcome. If a genuine democratic process has been followed, we have to accept the results, regardless of how much we dislike the outcome. The ultimate example of this in recent American history might be Al Gore's elegant acceptance of the process – complicated, politicized, but utterly constitutional – that put George W. Bush in the White House.
It must also have been difficult for Richard Nixon to grin and accept the results of the 1960 election – a poll marred by voter fraud that John F. Kennedy won by a narrow margin – but he did. And as vice president, he reported the results to the Senate, saying:
"This is the first time in 100 years that a candidate for the presidency announced the result of an election in which he was defeated and announced the victory of his opponent. I do not think we could have a more striking example of the stability of our constitutional system and of the proud tradition of the American people of developing, respecting and honoring institutions of self-government. In our campaigns, no matter how hard fought they may be, no matter how close the election may turn out to be, those who lose accept the verdict and support those who win."
That is what is at stake in Washington this week. The debate going on there is not trivial, not transitory – and not about Obamacare. Whatever you think about the Affordable Care Act, it is a law that was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, then signed by the president, and then validated by the Supreme Court as constitutional. This does not mean it cannot be repealed. Of course it can be repealed, as can most laws. But to do so, it would need another piece of legislation – one that says quite simply "The Affordable Care Act is hereby repealed in its entirety" – that passes the House and Senate and is then signed into law by the president.
More from CNN: Extremism worst in history?
But what cannot be allowed to stand is the notion that if a group of legislators cannot convince a majority in both houses and the president to agree with them, they will shut down the government or threaten to default until they can get their way. That is extortion, not democracy.
I would be happy to see President Barack Obama compromise on the budget, taxes, spending – even health care. But he cannot compromise on the principle that the rules of democracy must be respected, whatever the outcome. If Democrats had threatened to shut down the government to force the repeal of the Bush tax cuts or defund the Iraq War, I would have hoped Bush would have also been uncompromising.
So, how to solve the crisis? Many have wondered when the grown-ups in the Republican Party will force the House minority to call off this campaign. But that misunderstands the changed nature of American government. There are no more "grown-ups" in Washington, in the sense of a powerful political establishment that can get younger members of Congress in line. There are, instead, 535 political entrepreneurs, each seeking reelection and worried only about his or her fate.
Consider what happened with immigration reform, when almost the entire Republican establishment wanted to make a deal with the Democrats and yet a minority of House members once again were able to derail things. John Boehner is not leading his party, he is being led by its most passionate and radical wing. This crisis can only end when members of that wing understand that what they are doing is anti-democratic and harmful to the country.
More from CNN: Tough choices for Boehner
Meanwhile, there is a way to turn this crisis into an opportunity. The debt ceiling is an absurd anachronism that should not anyway exist. Only a handful of countries around the world have anything like it. And the president cannot actually make sense of it.
Brookings Institution scholar Henry Aaron points out that were Congress to refuse to raise the debt ceiling, the president would have to choose between two congressional mandates on him. First, Congress passes spending and taxation levels for the year, which the president must faithfully execute. But then it does not raise the debt ceiling. So either the president must ignore the congressional action requiring him to spend and tax at the levels they have set, or he has to ignore the fact that they did not raise the debt ceiling. Were this to happen, the president should declare that he is going to obey the more substantive law – actually asking him to spend money and levy taxes – and ignore the procedural one. He would then borrow the money he needed to, to enforce Congress' will.
Were Obama to do this, it would solve the current crisis, and also end the prospect that the crux of America's financial power – its sovereign debt and the dollar's role as the world's reserve currency – could ever again be held hostage through thoroughly undemocratic parliamentary games.
Finance aside, America's global influence derives in large measure from the strength of its democracy. If American politicians start playing fast and loose with the rules, doing whatever it takes to get the results that they want, what does that say to people in Russia, Egypt, Iran, and Venezuela who get pious lectures on the rules of democracy? It tells them that something is deeply wrong with the American system these days.
If Mr. Zakaria can come back fro two instances of journalistic plagiarism, this country can rebound from a short inconsequential government shut down.
If you don't have personal integrity, what do you have?
Why do attack the man and not the argument. When you don't have a real argument you should shut up instead of arguing the integrity.
The liberals can't get over this. Too bad. The Tea Party has plenty of energy to stop them cold and their witch doctor.
If the tea party has energy, they should prove it with votes. If they have the votes then they can change the whole country if they want but a group of extremist can do great bad and good thing no question about it.
These media outlets are coming out clean on the other side just like someone instigating a fight.
When they speak to the republicans on TV they never push them but so far and they never press them to give a STRAIGHT answer to a question.
The lying snakes on am radio namely 770 are a disgrace , I can't believe that people are gullible enough to believe the crap that they shovel.
Next time you put a stick on your shoulder and dare someone to knock it off , you better be damn sure that you have someone that won't call your bluff.
The AMerican system has lasted over 200 years. During the last 5 years a small group of people in Congress have joined the TEA Party movement. They have come to Washington with their own agendas and will not agree to anything else. If we are truly interested in getting the government back in business then we need to let our representatives know that we will not tolerate shutting the government down. It is time for the people to speak and we must do so to protect this nation for our children and grandchildren.
Congress spent money so freely to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the skirmishes in other countries. In fact we did not appropriate money for the war but just kept on spending. Clinton left a surplus which was quickly used up. Where was Congress then. We are in this predicament because our representatives were not watching the expenditures. Now they wish to end social programs Government is there by the people and for the people. These programs did not cause the spending gap. Speaker Boehner is unable to get the TEA Party to his table let alone get himself to the table with the President.
The Republicans squandered the surplus but you won't hear that from them.
You cant carry a surplus over. The surplus isnt some great reserve we funnel money into when we have it. It changes year to year. But of course, you already knew that.
The Decline you've been Declined !!!!
Noone really cares what you think or what you have to say you guys are screw ups and liars , your primary goal is to defeat Obama at any cost and its been that way from the start.
Do you remember them saying that they wanted to prevent Obama from gaining a second term.
They didn't say we want to work with him to help find a solution.
But of course you don't remember that !!!!!
Obama has done exactly what he said he was going to do and he has beaten them at their own game and they can't stand it , stay tuned for the finally we don't want you to miss it.
That is why most countries are fiscally fouled up!
1. Thinks republicans are conservatives.
2. Makes less than $100,000/yr.
3. Net worth less than $200,000.
4. Primary residence is on wheels or blocks.
5. Probably retired and depending on SS and Medicare (or will be the person most likely to need SS & Medicare).
6. Thinks they are religious but they should read the book, "How NOT To Be A Republican" (a.k.a. The Bible).
7. Actually thinks republicans represent THEM!!
This post is a joke. Grow up.
"If a genuine democratic process has been followed, we have to accept the results, regardless of how much we dislike the outcome. "
Really? So, what results did BHO accept by unilaterally excepting businesses from ACA mandates when the law gives him no such authority?
Lets vote on it.
Greece and Spain didnt have a debt ceiling (until now). How'd THAT work out?
let me get this straight. a few people in congress have decided to damage our country, our president and the republican party itself in order to save our country from a worse fate. that is, a health care system that is badly needed. now those few people give reasons that seem to come right from popular internet gossip. they do have at least some of the public on their side that likely believe the same misinformation mill.
now they have decided their quest is so important to save our country that they are justified in holding the rest of us hostage to their will. some of them are actually proud and happy about what they have done so far and are planning to make it worse. this is all based on Obamacare being so bad that it is worse then shutting down our country. a lot of people believe that but why.
when i carefully examined Obamacare i didn't find any such sinister intent. in fact it looks like a very good attempt to civilize our medical system. the fact that it allows for change and input kinda throws out all the gossip that seems to be driving the tea party.
i want the tea party to tell me why its bad. no one has done that yet without resorting to gossip or opinion. i haven't seen anything that could, even with great imagination, do more harm to our country than what has already happened at the hands of this small group.
the tea party better have a much more serious claim against Obamacare than i have heard so far. i will listen to but not give credibility to gossip, misinformation and opinions. tell me, without resorting to those, why you cant help make it work.
you better have a very good explanation since the risk of what you are doing is so high. it will do little good to repeat what you have already said. i have checked that out and its garbage. there is no need for you to research your answers since those should have been in place before you decided to damage our country to save it from a fate worse than ... what ?
i know that some people can be convinced and influenced by popular gossip. examples are those that believe inoculations are killing people when the opposite is obvious. they believe all the really bad stuff out there about their own president even though its all been proven to be a hoax more than once . yet some even high stature people re-dredge it and they always draw a crowd that wants to believe such things. a politician can get a following by giving credibility to such popular hoax material.
now we have a person of stature, Mr. Zakaria. he puts it in a perspective that is easy to understand. a beautifully done article that is free from bias and hate. his article is as informative and logical as it can be. yet this good person will be attacked anyhow.
if you have taken a stand based on gossip then you might feel threatened and a need to attack those that try to fix the misunderstandings. not all disagreements are damaging but unfounded statements of fact and mean spirited comments are most often not helpful.
i for one, am impressed by Fareed Zakaria. agreeing with him is optional but listening to what he has to say just makes sense.
Harry well put.
We owe you lunch !!!
Still lying as we speak saying that we don't have enough for a vote , then call a vote and prove the Dems wrong.
Talk is cheap it takes money to buy land !!!
This is all about beating OBAMA , PERIOD !!!!!
Now you can really see how racist some people are in this country.
" I rather die and go to HELL than lose to a n****r !!!! "
Go OBAMA !!!!
stand firm !!! Bend so you don't break !!!
I agree republicans are to blame for the shutdown.I hear you Mr.Zakaria.
But for the debt ceiling we disagree.Look up the deficit and say debt ceiling don't have a chance to exist
and not be more responsible about our spending.
CNN comments why don't you get Boehner to answer a direct question and call a vote if he feels that he is right.
I sent this to 88 tea party members speaker boehner this morning via email:Sir,
Your poor performance as member of the House of Representatives. I consider you un-American and a political terrorist. Get your big boy pants on and do what you are paid for.
It seems to me that there have been too many occurrences of bickering and infighting among yourselves which has prevented and neglected the country for far too long. The reality that each party member of their respective organization has agenda's which are personally rewarding either financially or receiving perks or special rewards which are extremely noticeable for even the ordinary person to see. Far too many cases of corruption reported; i.e.… hiding money in refrigerator freezers, Campaign finance fraud and abuse. Miss-management of tax payer contributions. The list goes on and on. Now you shut the government down! "Tea Party"!
You're inability to put together the heads of the brightest and best men and women to come up with a decision which has been discussed, voted on, and deemed to be mutually the best decision not merely for party affiliation but for good reason, and just cause to include for the good of the order. Clearly an example of poor leadership on your regard.
Do what you are paid for or give up your paid dues, or your duties and let someone else govern. I will never be affiliated with your group again. You must really bow to this TED Cruz Ideology.

Thank you Miceli.
Grandma always said " when you dig a grave for someone else dig one for yourself ".
The Republicans have dug a grave for Obama but they are gonna end up in it.
Grandma I guess they don't have to dig a second one in this case.
I'm so glad I dint live in USA. Self obsessed, fragmented, blinkered society, gun totting. Hellhole
There is always imperfection, and trouble is always there in human tricky mind which demands for everything, the best, the worst and the craziest things in this world. Then human make mistakes that damage to their own well being, then they will learn from that and improve. It is evolution process, however, greed can blind human wise and paying much worse consequence. Look at out own mind and be a wise men at most. It could be time for US to concentrate its internal affairs and put down its arrogance.
Obama did this ,Obama did that , he messed up this , he messed up that !!!
F-22 Fighter Plane cost 358 million each and the U.S. Military had 187 of them built before he was elected President.
I guess he's responible for that waste also.

While Ryan has been handling a lot of the lead generation arbitrage in the community, I decided I would jump on here on the blog and give my take.
First off, a little back-ground. I created my first lead generation site at the end of 2006 and then started doing it exclusively online in 2007. I've got countless leads I've provided as a publisher to affiliate networks such as Affiliate.com (was CPA Empire back then), ROI Rocket (tons of survey bizopp leads over to Zac), Hydra Network (bought out by Adknowledge, honestly don't know what they call it now, I don't keep up with that shit), Maxbounty (sent email back-end leads to Amy over there for a couple of years) and Epic Direct (was Azoogleads back then) and was one of the largest affiliates for Send Earnings, Inbox Dollars and Panda Research.
As a network owner, I'm not even going to comment on the amount of publishers I've worked with who went on to become 6-7 figure a month earners, even became affiliate network owners themselves. I've worked with thousands of people in this industry and blah blah blah.
Ok so now that we got that out of the way, let's continue…
The whole concept of lead gen arbitrage is basically to have the ability to capture your own data, squeeze them through your sales funnel to provide front-end profits, follow-up with them for back-end monetization and then target them accordingly through re-targeting and reactivation email campaigns.
For the simple-minded marketer, this isn't for you, so you'll need to stop reading right now. This is for seriously motivated marketers who are ready to quit all the bull-shit, stop fighting with competition in their markets and ad-networks, and basically own their markets respectively.
We cover a lot of this training in our community:
So if you are tired of battling high competitive ad-networks with newbs copy-catting each other to the point of nobody able to turn a profit, if you are tired of shit-head networks who skip out on your acai and teeth-whitening payments (cough thanks Epic and CX Digital for setting the bar this year!), and if you are tired of just sitting on your ass reading thread by thread of useless information and strategies worn out to exhaustion, well then, sit back and pay attention.
I'm not talking about setting up the next greatest flog and making a million dollars only to have state agencies or god forbid the FTC on your ass for deceptive marketing here. I'm talking about stable and consistent methods of REAL marketing I've been using the for over half a decade and methods that allow Ryan G and myself to enter any market regardless of the competition and turn profits. I've seen Ryan G dominate Adwords traffic with a simple lead gen funnel. Matter of fact, he did the exact case-study on this site in the Community.
Being a lead-gen arbitrager is all about building out revenue streams that INCREASE revenue from EACH and EVERY user that you attract and opt-in to your email lists. Having an autoresponder is not a choice, it's a requirement. If you cannot afford one, well you shit out of luck on this because we are talking about a way to connect to the leads you drive everyday on a continous basis, versus just driving leads to close out a one-time sale (enter floggers).
To be a lead-gen arbitrager you need to have the ability to drive leads to your optin squeeze pages and start redirecting them through your double-optin email process (so you have permission to keep emailing them) and having them continue on through your sales funnel.
It doesn't just stop there though…
You will be monetizing these users on a re-curring basis on a time-frame of your choosing. You may to decide to email them daily, weekly, monthly, that's really up to you.
You will do this by capturing their email, redirecting through your sales funnel, getting the user to double-optin, thanking them on the double optin confirmation (monetizing this as well, to increase front end profits) and then finish the process off with an autoresponder sequence for consistent contact with your leads, allowing you to monetize them consistently for a longer LUV (Lifetime User Value) but also providing your daily on a consistent basis to a 3rd party rev-share company who will also email for you and pay you 50% or better on the profits your data generates. This allows you to email less-aggressively and ultimately allow the list to not be "aggressively marketed" by just you.
Sounds like alot right? Actually it isn't. I've built countless of these funnels literally over-night. Once you do it once and get the hang of it, you'll see why you will have the upper-hand no matter what market you enter.
Traffic wise, you have multitudes of options to turn to. Personally as a network owner I've got access to over 1,000 affiliates who have the opportunity to drive traffic to my offers. I don't even have to do it myself although if you don't have this (which you do as a community member), then you will need to use alternative means of distribution of your lead gen offers. PPV and PPC are the favorites however, it's a helleva lot easier to rely on other affiliate marketers to drive traffic to your offers and this leaves you wide open on creating even more lead-gen funnels!
As a lead-gen arbitrager you get the best of both worlds as an affiliate and advertiser! I'm curious, has any of the readers here begun this process yet? The ways to monetize are endless. For example, you dont even have to capture emails. Nope, with mobile marketing exploding, it's becoming quite popular just to have a simple mobile website, drive traffic to a text message optin and then have the ability to simply text your list…so to speak.
However, that's a whole other post. Maybe at a later date!

The lemon glaze should be spread on warm cakes or Christmas cookies. It has a fine consistency for embedding decorative nuts and fruits.
YIELD: Twelve 2 3/4 x 2 1/3-inch bars
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, divided
- 1 3/4 teaspoons vanilla, divided
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus additional 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped toasted, pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup flaked or shredded sweetened coconut, lightly toasted
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon, orange, or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking pan lined with foil.
Beat the butter, granulated sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla in a medium bowl until well blended.
Stir in 3/4 cup of flour until well blended and smooth.
Press the dough evenly into the baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 2 eggs, light brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla in a medium bowl until well combined.
Stir in nuts and coconut.
Spread the mixture evenly over the hot baked crust. Bake until the top is firm and golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly wet, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the pan on a rack. If desired, while the bars are still warm, spread evenly with Lemon Glaze (recipe below).
Let stand until the bars are cool and the glaze is set.
For lemon glaze:
Beat confectioners' sugar, juice, and vanilla together until smooth.

Valve Guides?
Ok, I know there are lots of opinions on this, but there are really only a couple of different types available. I have a machinist friend that says get the guides +2 over what ever you are at, and then turn the guides down in a lathe to the size that fits the hole that you are fitting to. Makes sense since it is easier to get guide than repair jugs, or heads... Now the question, Steel or Brass, and why?

There is an old cartoon of two cannibals eating a clown and one turns to the other and asks, does this meal taste funny to you? (Modern day updated joke to the left.)
I apologize for my morbid humor, but that cartoon was the first thing that came to mind when I read of the Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel caper. Especially after reading this: The water did have a funny taste. We never thought anything of it. We thought it was just the way it was here, Sabrina Baugh a tourist from Britain told CNN. I would've avoided the Cecil Hotel just considering some of the former occupants. But this gives me another reason.

POTSDAM - Community Performance Series would like to announce the upcoming auditions for its 2013 summer musicals: Hairspray and Little Shop of Horrors. CPS is seeking male and female singers, actors and dancers ages 16 and up for principal and ensemble roles for the musical productions.
Please note that Hairspray requires ethnically appropriate casting. Actors must appear white/caucasian or African-American. CPS will also be seeking a female child of African-American descent between the ages of 9 and 15 for the role of Little Inez.
Initial vocal auditions will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. March 19 in Room C123 at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music. Those auditioning should enter through the Sara M. Snell Music Theater lobby and follow signs to the auditions. Dance call and callbacks will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. March 20.
Those auditioning are asked to prepare two 16-bar selections from music theatre repertoire that show a contrast of vocal styles. One should be in pop belt style, and the other from classic music theatre repertoire. An accompanist will be provided. Sheet music must be in the preferred key, as there will be no on-site transposition. Please bring a recent photo; note that photos will not be returned.
Auditions are by appointment. To schedule an appointment, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Walk-in auditions will only be accommodated as time is available. For information about the roles available, please visit www.cpspotsdam.org.
Hairspray rehearsals will start in June (to be held on evenings and weekends), and performances will run from July 23 to July 27.
Little Shop of Horrors rehearsals will start in July (to be held in the daytime) and performances will run from Aug. 6 to Aug. 10. Both productions will be presented in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music.
Hairspray is a family-friendly musical, based on a 1988 film of the same name, with music and lyrics by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and book by Mark ODonnell and Thomas Meehan. The show opened on Broadway in 2002, and won eight Tony Awards during its run before launching multiple national tours and a London West End production. The musical was also adapted into a 2007 musical film starring John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfieffer and Queen Latifah.
The musical follows the life of a pleasantly plump teenager, Tracy Turnblad, as well as her friends and family in 1962 Baltimore. When activism-driven Tracy auditions to be a dancer on a local American Bandstand-like show, she makes it her goal to bring integration to the small screen. What happens next can only be described as an adventure of inspiration, friendship and love.
Little Shop of Horrors is a comedy/horror rock musical with music by Alan Menken and a book by Howard Ashman. The Off-Broadway run began in 1982, and it quickly moved to Londons West End the year following. It was scripted as a musical movie and released in 1986, and eventually made it to Broadway in 2003.
Little Shop of Horrors surrounds a nerdy florist working in urban Skid Row in the 1960s. Seymour, an orphan, finds himself doing daily menial tasks to appease his boss, Mr. Mushnik. One day, Seymour discovers a plant in the shop that he cannot identify. He names it Audrey II, after his co-worker with whom he is infatuated. Seymour soon discovers that the plant has a unique appetite that is not easily satiated. Although he feeds the plant all he can muster, Audrey II continues to grow and will not stop feeding until it is good and full.
Both productions will be directed by New York City-based directors. Hairspray will be directed and choreographed by Antoinette DiPietropolo, and Little Shop of Horrors will be directed by Donna Drake. Each director brings extensive experience in multiple venues of theatre, including Off-Broadway, regional, and community works. Canton-based music teacher Sara Simon-Shult will be the music director for both productions.
Tickets for this production will go on sale for Producers Club members on June 1 and for the general public on June 20. For more information on joining the Producers Club, please call (315) 267-2412.
The CPS productions of Hairspray and Little Shop of Horrors are made possible in part with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, administered in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council.

Fay Wray (AP Photo/HO)
Eighty years ago today a legend was born: King Kong was unleashed on the world with the release of the now-classic movie. The success of King Kong made its eponymous leading ape and his leading lady, Fay Wray, household names. In the eight decades since the movie's premiere, there have been massive advances in special effects technology – and countless numbers of newer, younger starlets gracing the silver screen. But King Kong and Fay Wray endure as cinematic icons.
When Fay Wray was tapped to play the giant ape's ideal woman, she was told, cryptically, that she'd be starring opposite the "tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood." She thought that meant Cary Grant, a young starlet's dream. The truth, of course, was much stranger but Wray didn't say no to the unusually hairy co-star (who probably guaranteed Wray's enduring fame more than a role opposite Grant would have). Donning a blonde wig so she'd stand out against Kong's dark fur, she began practicing her screams.
King Kong was wildly popular, giving RKO Pictures its first profitable year ever and officially making Fay Wray, who was already an accomplished actress, a star. Her stardom continued throughout the 1930s with a string of movies, many of which kept her in the "damsel in distress" role she'd perfected in King Kong.
Wray attempted to leave acting in 1942, but her retirement didn't last long. By the early 1950s, she was back on the silver screen, adding to her lifetime total of 100 movies. The '60s and '70s saw her make guest appearances on TV shows like Perry Mason and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
King Kong's lead actress, Fay Wray, visits the observation deck on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York, Saturday, May 15, 2004. The Empire State building was featured in the 1933 film along with Wray being lifted to the top of the building by King Kong. (AP Photo/ Mike Appleton)
She wrote the autobiography On the Other Hand, was featured on a postage stamp in her native Canada, and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was even the opening line of a song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show ("Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate satin-draped frame…"). But throughout the years, it was King Kong we remembered her for – and that was what we wanted to hear about whenever Wray made an appearance. Graciously, Wray never seemed to resent our fixation – she even thought of Kong as her PR man. And it's a good thing, because like it or not, even upon her death at age 96 on August 8, 2004 – 71 years after King Kong's success – we still pictured her in the ape's hand.
