Arizona ruling: Immigration was out of bounds in tax issue
PHOENIX — A legislative committee's official analysis of a sales tax
initiative on Arizona's ballot went out of bounds by trying to inject the
illegal immigration issue to sway voters against the measure, the state Supreme
Court said Thursday.
The Supreme Court said the joint analysis of the House-Senate committee was
supposed to be impartial, but several parts were misleading or impermissibly
advocated against the proposal.
Voters on Nov. 6 rejected the initiative, which would have implemented a
permanent one-cent sales tax increase to pay for education and other social
The opinion by a three-justice panel explained why the high court previously
upheld an order by a trial judge who required the committee to change three
parts of the analysis before it was printed in the official state pamphlet
mailed to voters.
Part of the analysis stating the initiative "fails" to define who would be a
resident qualifying for university scholarships funded by the sales tax was an
attempt "to inject the contentious topic of illegal immigration issue into an
already controversial tax measure" and impermissibly sway voters, the opinion
"On its face, the statement is true, but its inclusion and provocative
phrasing belie neutrality," Justice John Pelander wrote for the panel.
The ballot measure didn't define many other terms of the initiative, and there
was discussion during the committee meeting that it needed to be pointed out
that "illegal aliens" might qualify for the scholarships, the opinion said.
The opinion also said it was misleading in another part of the analysis to say
the initiative would have barred legislative changes to the rest of the state's
sales tax. And it was impermissible advocacy against the initiative to not
mention the tax increase would take effect only after a temporary one-cent tax
increase expires later this year, the decision said.
House Speaker Andy Tobin, R-Paulden, was chairman of the legislative committee
in 2012 when it approved analyses for 2012 ballot measures. Rey Torres, a
spokesman for Tobin, did not immediately respond to a request for comment
In a separate but related opinion issued Thursday, the three-justice panel
explained why the Supreme Court earlier upheld a trial judge's ruling rejecting
a challenge to Secretary of State Ken Bennett's ballot wording that described
the sales tax initiative.
Bennett's wording did not include the residency statement, and the court said
his handling of the other issues was adequate under a more lenient standard that
applied to the ballot wording.

Sense Mantra Trail Running Shoe (Men's)
Out of Stock Product Number: 32266
The men's Salomon Sense Mantra is a neutral, minimalist trail running shoe with an ultralight weight and a world-class pedigree. It's based on Kilian Jornet's custom S-LAB Salomon Sense, worn for winning the 2011 Western States 100, and meets the demands of trail runners with a mid-foot strike who prefer a natural motion shoe and increased trail feel.
Salomon opines that the Sense Mantra is friendlier for everyday trail running than the original Sense, with more cushioning and rock protection than the original. Indeed, with a bit more underfoot, the Sense Mantra is right at home as a high-mileage training shoe. Make no mistake, however: at a mere 9.2 ounces, this is still a legit race-day shoe for fast, efficient trail runners.
Compared to Kilian's original S-LAB Sense, the Sense Mantra features a stack height of 10mm in the forefoot and 16mm in the heel, instead of 9mm/13mm, for a heel drop of 6mm. The shift from 4mm to 6mm provides slightly more support for ultramarathon distances, while continuing to firmly embrace its minimal nature.
A low drop promotes a mid-foot running stride, allowing the body to move naturally through the gait cycle without transferring as much shock to the joints as traditional running footwear. Midfoot striking also promotes better balance, agility and – ultimately -- better efficiency, whether you're running a 5k, 50k or 100-miler.
Dynamic traction outsole provides maximum traction on dry surfaces, yet includes plenty of lugs for stability in mud. OS Tendon provides energy return during push-off. ProFeel film protects from rock bruising without sacrificing flexibility. EndoFIT internal fit sleeve hugs the forefoot. Sockless fit construction allows use with or without socks.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie believes liberty is a "very dangerous thought." Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) answered for the libertarian wing of the GOP, calling out Christie for being "precisely the same people who are unwilling to cut the spending, and their 'Gimme, gimme, gimme — give me all my Sandy money now.' Those are the people who are bankrupting the government and not letting enough money be left over for national defense."
Earlier this week, another consistent constitutionalist waded into the fray, backing up his colleague.
Appearing on the Fox News online show Power Play, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced:
I am proud to stand side by side with Rand Paul. He and I have been fighting over and over and over again in the Senate to defend our constitutional liberties. I'll say this — some of this tiff, Governor Christie is entitled to his views, he's entitled to express his views, I think most Americans don't care about politicians bickering in Washington. They don't care about egos and the battles that will happen in the beltway. What they're interested in is solving the problems that we've got here.
In Christie's corner, we have Representative Peter King (R-N.Y.). King stated that Paul's priorities would leave America vulnerable to attack and "do more harm than good."
King and Christie, along with most Establishment politicians from both major parties, subscribe to the belief that we can't have safety without surveillance. Paul disagrees.
"I don't mind spying on terrorists," Senator Paul said at a fundraiser in suburban Nashville. "I just don't like spying on all Americans."
In an earlier statement on the subject, Paul clearly staked out his position on the National Security Agency's (NSA) dragnet surveillance of millions of phone records. On June 6, Paul said:

LOWVILLE The day after Lewis County legislators defeated a pr oposed building project on outer Stowe Street, Legislative Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, already was in contact with CBRE, real estate broker for the Lowville Commons.
The building is for sale for $1 million and has rental space occupied by the countys Board of Elections and Office for the Aging.
First thing, were going to go over to the Commons building to make accommodations for them, Mr. Tabolt said when asked how the county would deal with the space issues that remain now that the $10 million building has been voted down.
Were going to see what they need, he said. The rental space for the two county departments was supposed to be temporary.
The chairman would not write off the project, however.
Ultimately, its been put on the back burner. Were going to have a whole new board in January, he said.
Mr. Tabolt said he also will discuss other space available in the 18,413-square-foot Commons building at 7550 South State St., which also houses Behavioral Health and Wellness Center of Lewis County, private office spaces and vacant office space.
Well keep the lines of communication open (with the village of Lowville), so we dont get back into the same thing if the project comes up again, he said.
Village officials voiced concerns over sewer and traffic issues which, they say, the county did not address. They passed a moratorium on sewer hook-ups for the project in an effort to get the county to answer their questions.
Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, on Wednesday said he would go a step further than discussing the Commons building.
I would actually buy it, revamp it, he said. Its the best option right now because it would reduce county spending.
With the recent relocation of Hirschey & Associates from the building, he said, Theres more space available. We can make that place feasible.
To address the future needs of the sheriffs office and accommodate a new dispatch center, Mr. Stanford said, there are options other than a new building.
I would like to see if the state will approve us to build onto the sheriffs building and just put in whats necessary, he said.
Because county dispatchers also are trained as corrections officers, moving them to a new building would have then necessitated the hiring of new officers to replace them in the jail.
Not having to do so would reduce the sheriffs budget in the future, he added.
The 24 hours that had passed since the vote hadnt swayed Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham.
I havent changed my mind, he said, noting the limited space in the Department of Social Services building remains a problem.
Weve got caseworkers and supervisors in offices that used to be electrical closets and broom closets, he said, adding, They do a good job, but every inch of space is taken.
As for considering the Commons as a temporary solution, he said, If they give us the Hirschey space, theyll want an extended lease on everything. Thats a prime space.
Buying the property may be a more expensive option because of the cost of office remodeling, he said.
The heating and air conditioning are original to the building. That will be another expense, Mr. Bush said.
But John O. Boyd, D-New Bremen, would like to see the county move forward with the purchase of the Commons.
Im in favor of buying it. Its a no-brainer, he said, also acknowledging he was never on the fence about the new building project.
It was a dumb idea from the start, he said, We never should have considered it. We should have bought the Commons a year ago.

By KRIS KOHLERSun Advocate reporter
A high speed chase Tuesday led to the arrest of suspects wanted for questioning in connection with a string of alleged burglaries throughout California and possibly Utah.
According to Helper City Police Department spokesperson Trent Anderson, the suspects' vehicle was spotted by Officer Chris Pugliese on an attempt to locate report.
When Pugliese tried to pull over the suspects, they reportedly stopped, waited for the officer to get out of the patrol car and sped away in an attempt to evade authorities.
"Pugliese immediately called in for back up and began the pursuit which led north on U.S. Highway 6 toward Salt Lake City. After the call was made for assistance, the highway patrol and the Carbon County sheriff's department immediately responded. Through a joint effort, the agencies were able to stop the speeding car by using a spike strip near Billy's Mountain," said Anderson. "The operation went smoothly and fortunately there were no injuries to law enforcement personnel or civilians."
When the officers finally stopped the vehicle, Anderson said, law enforcent arrested two male suspects who were in possession of stolen property.
"After searching the vehicle, officers found evidence that they had a motel room in Price," continued Anderson. "After obtaining a search warrant for the motel, we ended up finding a female suspect, alleged controlled substances and more stolen property."
All three suspects were booked into the Carbon County Jail.
Brian Wright, 24 of Escondido, Calif., is facing charges of possession of stolen property and theft.
Jacob Hutsell, 25 of Valley Center, Calif., is facing charges of fleeing from an officer, possession of stolen property, reckless driving and theft.
The female suspect, Robin Best, 20, also from Escondido, Calif., is facing multiple charges of possession of a controlled substance, possesion of drug paraphenalia and accessory to forgery.
"We have reason to believe that the suspects in custody were in the process of casing out houses in the Helper area when spotted by Officer Pugliese," said Anderson.
According to local law enforcement officials, it is always a good idea to make sure that people's homes and cars are secure at all times in order to prevent property theft.
"Even though we live in a small area where we think that we know everyone, there is no reason to take any chances. Towns like ours are being targeted by criminals. The trusting nature of a small community makes an easy target for a professional thief," said the Helper police representative.
"If you see anything out of the ordinary happening in your area, do not hesitate to call it in. You can never be too careful," stressed Anderson.

The fertile soil of the Barossa is home to some of the world's most lauded vineyards but wine isn't all that tastes great in the Barossa.
You wouldn't expect to find traditional Vietnamese food in the Barossa but you'll be glad you did. The food at FermentAsian in Tanunda has its roots firmly planted in chef Tuoi Do's Vietnamese heritage, while her fresh vegetables and herbs are planted in the same soil where these famous grape vines grow.
Find the magic, and unexpected flavours, in the Barossa.
The Barossa is a great romantic escape. The hills and valleys have inspired many local artists, so take some time, just the two of you and escape here for the weekend. Spend the night in million-star accommodation under clear skies.
The Barossa has cool summers and rainy winters which makes it perfectly suited for red wine production, particularly Shiraz and richly flavoured Cabernet.
Nearby Eden Valley boasts a stellar reputation for premium wines thanks to its higher altitude and cooler climate - which is perfect for producing Riesling and Chardonnay.
Unlike us, wines don't really enjoy travelling. If you have picked up a few treasured bottles, don't leave them in the car on a warm day. Many cellar doors offer specialist wine transport services to make sure your precious cargo gets home safely.
Before South Australia was colonised, the Peramangk Aboriginal people roamed through most of the Barossa region, sharing the northern part with their Ngadjuri neighbours.
When Colonel William Light first visited the region more than 175 years ago he named it "Lynedoch Vale" after his "esteemed friend" Lord Lynedoch. The hills were named "Barrosa Range" after the site of Lynedoch's victory at the Battle of Barrosa in 1811.
Both names were subsequently misspelt on maps, resulting in the unique local names used today.
In the late 1830s, the chairman of the South Australian Company, George Fife Angas, employed gifted linguist and mineralogist Johannes Menge to explore the local colony. In April 1839 he described the district as "the cream, the whole cream and nothing but the cream".
A year earlier, in 1838, copper was discovered in Kapunda and Australia's first mining town was established.
Aside from an amazing array of wines and wineries to discover, there are regional arts and a rich, pioneering history worth exploring, including the short-lived gold rush of the 1860s. Of course, with great wine comes great food so make sure you leave enough time to sample all of the locally-produced delights the Barossa has to offer.
All of this and more is available via a network of well signposted heritage trails that can be accessed by car or on foot.
Iconic Seppeltsfield Winery was founded in the early 1850s and the 10 kilometre-long Seppeltsfield Road is home to some of the Barossa's most famous wineries and gourmet destinations. For more information about where to eat, drink and stay along Seppeltsfield Road, visit the Seppeltsfield Road website.
The Visitor Information Centres at Gawler and Tanunda are open seven days a week and the friendly staff are always on hand to help you with your plans, so drop in and say hi. Visit the Tourism Barossa website for more local information.
Eat like a local in the Barossa. Try real dill cucumbers and preserves, smoked and cured smallgoods, locally made egg noodles and baked goods. Eat Local is an easy way for you to eat and buy authentic South Australian food. Look for the Eat Local signs or visit Eat Local SA.
The Barossa Visitor Guide features information on local history, wine, food and culinary experiences, retail, art and adventures. Plan your holiday with the Barossa Visitor Guide and see why the Barossa is a taste of the good life.
Download a Barossa map to help find your way around when you visit. Plenty of cellar doors, of course, but there's also an impressive list of attractions and several walking trails too.
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area.

Megan Fox may be taking a break from acting for new gig: full-time mom.
The brunette beauty graces the March issue of Marie Claire UK, where she opens up about being a new mom and finding her soulmate.
While the 26-year-old has been busy promoting her latest movie, "This is 40," overseas, balancing a career with her new tiny bundle of joy makes going to work that much more difficult.
"I recognise the blessings when they come -- like, I recognise I'm lucky to work with Judd [Apatow] -- but the ultimate satisfaction for me is being with my son. All I wanted to do my whole, whole life was have a baby and, now, I've finally done it," she confesses to the mag.
Megan and her husband Brian Austin Green welcomed their first child, Noah, last September. Fox admits that for now, she's devoting all of her time to her son. Eventually, she'd like to have more children.
Speaking about her future in the biz, Megan tells the mag, "It's very hard for me to do this stuff, because I feel like this isn't my job anymore. My job is to be with him."
But baby Noah isn't the only special guy in the actress's life, Fox tells the magazine that she believes Brian is her soulmate.
"I just think we got lucky. I believe he's my soulmate. But that doesn't mean it doesn't take work, because we are very, very different. But we are tolerant of each other and we try to be patient with eachother, and I don't try to turn him into me and he knows not to try to turn me into him."
"He's really amazing. I should never, ever even think of complaining," she tells Marie Claire.

You are here Home Company info Press room Welcome
Today is a big day for American Airlines and US Airways.
With the legal close of our merger with American, we're one step closer to bringing you a stronger airline that offers greater schedule options, access to more destinations around the globe and a modern, fuel-efficient fleet.
The combined company will retain the iconic American Airlines brand name and will be headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth while maintaining a corporate, operational and hub presence in Phoenix.
While we've legally combined as one company, we'll continue to function as two separate airlines for quite some time and very few changes will happen immediately. This is especially important throughout the busy holiday travel season, as our first priority will be delivering a superior operation for customers of both airlines. There is no impact to any existing travel reservations you may have with American Airlines or US Airways at this time, and any mileage balance or elite status you have earned in either frequent flyer program is completely safe.
We plan to begin rolling out exciting new benefits in early January, such as the ability to earn and redeem miles on both carriers and reciprocal lounge access. On March 31, 2014, we plan to join the oneworld® alliance. In the meantime, we'll remain a member of Star Alliance, and you'll continue to receive all your benefits when traveling with Star Alliance partner airlines.
Be sure to check this site and follow our social channels to stay up-to-date on the latest developments and benefits coming your way.
Thank you for your business and your support – we look forward to serving you on the new American Airlines.
Scott Kirby
President, American Airlines
With more than 6,700 daily flights to more than 330 cities in more than 50 countries worldwide, the new American Airlines will offer flights to more destinations, greater schedule options and worldwide connectivity through the oneworld alliance. As the new American takes shape, we expect to offer improved schedule options like more choices than any other airline across the East Coast and Central U.S. regions – including an East Coast shuttle – and an expanded West Coast network.
Frequent flyers, and corporate and oneworld customers will have even more reasons to fly the new American. The new American's loyalty program will be enhancing our existing program benefits with more opportunities to earn and redeem miles across the combined network.
We anticipate that our regional carriers – American Eagle and US Airways Express – will continue to operate as distinct entities, providing seamless connection service to the new American Airlines. Although each carrier will operate separately, all regional carriers for the new American are expected to eventually fly under the American Eagle name.
Enjoy a more rewarding travel experience with US Airways Dividend Miles and American Airlines AAdvantage® programs. Both are among the most popular loyalty programs in the world and will continue to offer best-in-class elite programs, unmatched redemption options and more ways to earn miles from an expanded global network of routes and partnerships.
At this time, American and US Airways will operate as separate airlines, and each company will maintain its current loyalty program. Any mileage balance or elite status you have earned is safe, secure and will be honored, and there will be no impact to your US Airways MasterCard® or US Airways Visa® card.
In early January, we'll announce exciting new benefits such as the ability to earn and redeem miles on both carriers and reciprocal lounge access.
In early 2014, we'll be entering into a codeshare agreement with American, which means that you'll be able to seamlessly book travel throughout the US Airways and American network.
On March 31, 2014, we plan to join the oneworld® alliance, which means our Dividend Miles members can look forward to mileage earning and redemption opportunities, reciprocal elite benefits and lounge access on oneworld carriers. Some of these benefits will be phased in as we work toward full integration.
Through our membership with oneworld, we're also working to integrate into American's joint business agreements with British Airways, Iberia and Finnair – creating more options for travel and benefits.
We're excited to bring you an expanded global network, a modern and fuel-efficient fleet, more Wi-Fi access on your flights and products and services that will bring you a more connected, comfortable travel experience. You'll also have access to more choices and service across the new American's larger worldwide network and through an enhanced oneworld® alliance, of which American is a founding member.
At this time, we'll continue to operate as two separate carriers while we begin our path to integrating two great companies. As the new American takes shape, we expect to offer improved schedule options in our existing hubs, provide more choices than any other airline across the East Coast and Central U.S. regions, expand our network on the West Coast and enhance our existing loyalty program benefits with more opportunities to earn and redeem miles across the combined network.
It means we are now American Airlines Group Inc. – one parent company, running two separate airlines. We also began trading common (symbol: AAL) and preferred stock (symbol: AALCP) of the new company on the NASDAQ.
Yes. American's Plan of Reorganization is now effective, so we are no longer in restructuring. There are still outstanding items that will require the judge's review from time to time, and the Court maintains jurisdiction over some matters, but, yes, we emerged from bankruptcy when we closed the merger on December 9, 2013.
Not yet. We're one company, but still very much running two separate airlines until we become a unified airline with a Single Operating Certificate (SOC), which is regulatory approval from the FAA to operate as one airline.
No. You will not see any changes to your existing travel reservations. You should continue to book, track and manage flights through aa.com or usairways.com.
Our customers will have access to more choices and service across a larger global network, as well as the expanded international opportunities that come with a stronger oneworld® alliance.
The combined company is expected to provide the most service along the East Coast and Central regions of the United States, and become a stronger competitor with a greater network presence on the West Coast. We're also expected to have the world's largest loyalty program, as well as a more modern and fuel-efficient fleet.
There are no changes for customers at this time. Your existing reservations will not change. Your AAdvantage and Dividend Miles are completely safe and will be honored. For now, you can continue to book, track and manage flights through aa.com or usairways.com and earn AAdvantage or Dividend Miles by flying with either airline and through our mileage partners.
No. American Airlines and US Airways will remain independent carriers for quite some time and you should continue to book, track and manage flights as you normally do.
The combined airline will retain the iconic American Airlines name, one of the most recognized brands in the world.
Absolutely. Mileage balances in both programs will be safe. At merger close, you won't see any immediate changes to our respective mileage programs, but we'll be sharing more details in coming weeks. Very soon, your miles in each program will be more valuable as you will be able to earn and redeem miles on both American and US Airways.
Status levels and benefits in the AAdvantage and Dividend Miles programs remain unchanged. Very soon, we will be expanding elite benefits to include recognizing each other's members as we do with other partner airlines. More details will be available in the coming weeks and months. Your continued loyalty is very important to us, and we'll be working hard to deliver a world-class loyalty program and an unparalleled travel experience for all of our members, but especially the elite members of both airlines.
We will each maintain our separate loyalty programs for now – American's AAdvantage program and US Airways Dividend Miles. The plan is to eventually combine the two programs into one loyalty program, but that process will take some time.
There are no immediate changes to either the AAdvantage or Dividend Miles programs. Both programs will continue to operate as usual.
We're working to integrate the two programs and to offer you enhanced benefits, which will begin in early January 2014. Our goal is to create the most valued loyalty program in the world.
There are no immediate changes to the AAdvantage or Dividend Miles programs and your miles are safe and secure.
Beginning in early January, you'll be able to earn and redeem miles on both American and US Airways flights. You'll also receive enhanced inflight and airport services.
We're excited about our merger and what it means for you! We expect that in early January, AAdvantage members will begin to be able to earn and redeem AAdvantage miles on US Airways operated flights and vice versa. We appreciate your enthusiasm and will share more in the near future.
No. At this time, we will each maintain our separate loyalty programs.
Although we will each maintain our separate loyalty programs, we are evaluating how best to structure them. Ultimately, the new American will offer our members more opportunities to earn and redeem miles on an expanded global network of routes and partnerships.
Upgrades will remain the same for Preferred members when flying US Airways. Preferred members will not be eligible for upgrades on American operated flights at this time.
Yes. Automatic upgrades will continue as usual and there is no change for Preferred members when flying US Airways. Upgrades are not available on American operated flights at this time. We're working toward an integrated upgrade policy between the two carriers and will keep you updated when such benefits are available.
To align with our exit from Star Alliance, we're extending your current Dividend Miles Preferred status through March 30, 2014. If you qualify for Preferred status in 2014 by the end of this year, you'll receive a welcome email in February, and your Dividend Miles Preferred Status kit will arrive in the mail in early April.
We're working to implement a codeshare agreement as soon as possible and will share more details on that timeline in the coming weeks.
A codeshare agreement allows each airline to directly sell a flight operated by the other carrier. When traveling on a codeshare flight, you must check-in with the airline operating your initial departure on your day-of-travel.
Although we're now one company, we still have to continue operating as two separate carriers until we achieve a Single Operating Certificate, which is regulatory approval from the FAA to operate as one airline. This process will take approximately 18 to 24 months.
The approach to combining our airlines will be different from many previous airline mergers, where in some cases; the carriers were already codeshare partners and/or members of the same alliance. To ensure you have the most seamless and convenient travel experience possible, we're aggressively establishing broad codeshare offerings for our collective customers as soon as possible.
On March 30, 2014, we'll exit Star Alliance. Until that time, you'll be able to enjoy all Star Alliance benefits, including:
1. Priority recognition when flying on Star member airlines
2. Star Gold benefits such as priority check-in, priority boarding and lounge access
3. Ability to earn miles when flying on any Star Alliance member airline (miles will count toward Preferred status)
4. Ability to book award tickets on any Star Alliance airline. Award tickets booked on Star member airlines will be honored for up to one year (some relationships will continue)
Star Alliance Gold and Silver tier benefits will end on March 30, 2014 when we exit Star Alliance.
We'll maintain many of our existing codeshare agreements following our exit from Star Alliance.
We will no longer offer codeshare flights for sale with United after December 9, 2013 and with Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS after our exit from Star Alliance on March 30, 2014. Any existing reservations are safe, but you will not earn miles for flights on these carriers after March 30, 2014.
You'll retain all Dividend Miles earned while flying on Star Alliance member carriers. All miles earned while in Star Alliance may be used for redemption on oneworld member carriers or any other US Airways frequent flyer partner following the transition.
Yes, all award trips booked on a Star Alliance member airlines will be honored up to one year after all bookings made until March 30, 2014.
You'll be able to earn miles when traveling on oneworld carriers beginning with the first day of our planned entry into oneworld on March 31, 2014. Some additional alliance benefits will be phased in as we work toward full integration.
US Airways Club members may continue to access United Clubs until March 30, 2014 and will no longer have access to United Clubs or Star Gold lounges after that date.
Following our entry into oneworld, you'll have access to almost 1,000 destinations in more than 150 countries, served by 14,250 daily departures.
We'll join oneworld on March 31, 2014 following our exit from Star Alliance March 30, 2014.
Dividend Miles members can look forward to mileage earning and redemption opportunities, reciprocal elite benefits and lounge access on other oneworld carriers – airberlin, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, S7 Airlines and some 25 affiliated airlines. Some of these benefits will be phased in as we work toward full integration.
You can begin receiving oneworld benefits upon our entry into the alliance on March 31, 2014.
Both airlines are working diligently to integrate US Airways into American's joint venture agreements. As we continue along in the integration process, we will share more updates in the coming months.
At this time, we'll continue operating as two separate carriers and our fleet plans will remain as they are, but as the new American takes shape throughout integration, we'll share fleet harmonization details.
Yes. Together, American Airlines and US Airways plan to create a premier global carrier with an expanded network to even better match where you want to fly and with greater ability to invest in our fleet, modern technologies and the products and services you value most.
Yes. The combined airline will benefit from American's landmark agreements with Airbus and Boeing, designed to transform the new American Airlines fleet.
We will continue to analyze our fleet for maximum optimization and will work to retire the appropriate aircraft as we take delivery of new aircraft.
US Airways operates mostly A320-family aircraft on its transcontinental routes between its hubs in Charlotte and Philadelphia, and the West Coast, including A321s equipped with full meal service in First Class and inflight Wi-Fi.
US Airways does not offer a premium economy product that offers additional legroom, but the airline does offer ChoiceSeats, similar to American's Preferred Seats product, where customers can choose a seat closer to the front of the plane to allow for easy boarding and deplaning.
Yes. American and US Airways both offer inflight Wi-Fi service powered by Gogo.
American also introduced an international Wi-Fi product earlier this year on board the new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and has plans to install international connectivity on the 777-200ERs and retrofit the aircraft beginning next year.
In an effort to provide a consistent experience for customers flying on the combined carrier, American will retrofit existing 777-200 and 767-300 aircraft to include fully lie-flat premium seating similar to the US Airways Envoy Suite, a lie-flat bed in international business class, beginning in 2014. More details regarding the timeline will be shared later.
The new American is in ongoing negotiations with aircraft manufacturers to secure additional large, regional jets for its regional network.
Absolutely. You can continue to book, track and manage flights and travel plans through both aa.com and usairways.com.
Initially, American Airlines customers should use the American mobile application for their travel, and US Airways customers should use the US Airways mobile application.
The new American's ticker symbol is AAL. Merger close happened before the stock market opened December 9, 2013; therefore, AMR and US Airways Group's stock (ticker symbols: AAMRQ and LCC, respectively) ceased trading on Friday, December 6, 2013, the trading day prior to merger close. The new American stock (ticker symbol: AAL) will begin trading immediately.
We'll post key updates to the Stock Information section of www.aa.com/investorrelations.
Please refer to American's Plan of Reorganization at www.amrcaseinfo.com for further information.
You can continue to travel on each airline as you do today and follow the policies of whichever airline you are traveling on. In early January, as we begin to align customer benefits, some policies may be adapted. We will do our best to keep you informed on any changes that may arise.
We are excited to say that our co-location efforts at New York's JFK are complete with our ticket counters and gates already side-by-side. We are currently working to co-locate our operations in Phoenix and Miami. Additional details regarding our operations at various airports will be shared at a later date.
At this time, American customers will still be able to enjoy all the benefits of American's Admirals Club memberships and can continue accessing the lounges American offers worldwide. In addition, US Airways Club members will continue to have access to their clubs. More details regarding reciprocal club access will come in early January.
We plan to integrate our club offerings, but we do not have details to share at this time. We'll continue to operate both airlines' clubs.

Despite a pending sale of the former Tallmadge Tire and Auto Service Center property at 217 Arsenal St., a lawsuit between the owners and Jefferson County over a parking lease agreement continues.
D. Edward Grant and Timothy E. Kelly, owners of G&K Realty Inc., sued the county in state Supreme Court in July 2012, claiming they were owed $4,500 from the county in back lease payments for use of the parking lot. The pair claimed to have an oral agreement with the county that called for payments of $750 monthly.
The county, which stopped using the lot in September 2011, countered that it was Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly who broke the lease by telling the county it no longer could use the lot. The county claims the action amounted to a retaliatory eviction that caused it harm. In a counterclaim, the county says it was damaged because it no longer could provide public parking next to its primary offices and its court complex, causing an inconvenience to the public and a diminution in business proceeds to various county departments that derive revenue from consumer transactions. The county further claims that it spent about $24,000 improving the property with drainage, infrastructure, pavement and perimeter steel guardrails.
The problem is that the countys lease agreement was with the propertys former owner, Tallmadge LLC, a company affiliated with Anthony Salerno, the sole shareholder of MGNH Inc., former operator of Mercy of Northern New York. Mr. Salerno died in 2008, and Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly subsequently began foreclosure proceedings, regaining ownership in March 2011 through a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement with his estate.
The county claims Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly are subject to the terms of the lease agreement, but the partners counter that, because the lease with Tallmadge was never filed at the county clerks office, there was no expectation that they would be aware of the leases existence when they took title to the property. Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly, through their attorney, Mark G. Gebo, Watertown, have demanded that the county provide documentation that shows they are liable to fulfill the lease agreement. Mr. Gebo contends that the countys lease with Tallmadge was not binding on Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly and that the pair did not evict the county.
They were, in fact, asked to stop parking on the premises, but did so voluntarily without protest, Mr. Gebo wrote in response to the countys counterclaim.
Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly claimed that the county was not forthcoming with the demanded lease agreement, as well as several other documents they had requested from the county. According to documents filed Wednesday at the county clerks office, Judge Hugh A. Gilbert has ordered the county to produce all of the demanded documents.
Mr. Grant and Mr. Kelly have reached an agreement with Morgan Management, Pittsford, to sell the property, although the sale has not yet closed. Morgan Managements plans for the building have not been divulged. COR Development Co., Fayetteville, bought the neighboring Mercy Care Center in April with plans to demolish the complex and build residential, retail and commercial space on the property, between Arsenal and Stone streets.

I grew up with the idea that Halloween is a very commercial holiday, an American import which is simply being used to sell us more stuff, and in asking some of my fellow Brits, I've discovered that they also shared this opinion. However, in the last few years I've had a few experiences which have changed this perception altogether.
A few years ago I was working part-time as a nanny in a very nice part of Pimlico where many of the squares are inhabited by Americans. To my surprise, come Halloween, the little girls I nannied got very excited and explained to me what a big deal trick or treating was in their area. I helped them plan a little party at theirs before we set off around the neighbouring squares, in fancy dress, with a few parents along too. The surrounding streets resembled some sort of film set- with houses and doorways decorated from floor to ceiling- windowpanes covered with cobwebs, carved pumpkins lining doorsteps and all sorts of frightening props on display. But from within the houses came the warm, welcoming glow of light and the noise of chatter and play- all the homes were happy to receive trick or treaters, with buckets of sweets at the ready.

It's too late to make Borders into a big enough e-commerce player.
When I was growing up in Michigan and later making trips to see friends and family in Ann Arbor, it was always a treat to go visit the flagship Borders store downtown and near the University of Michigan campus.
The store was every inch a book store with thousands of tomes of every size and a quiet place to browse a few chapters before making a decision to make a purchase—or not. These days the store is still there, but I wonder how much longer Borders will be—at least the brand I grew up with.
If you've been reading the news online at InternetRetailer.com (or anywhere else for that matter) you are probably aware that Borders, No. 194 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, is fighting for its very life. This morning Borders announced it has secured $625 million in new financing from GE Capital Restructuring and will use the money to streamline costs and refocus its business model, mostly online.
I am sorry to say it's probably too little and too late. There will likely be a Borders brand around for a while and it will include a nice-looking e-commerce site resplendent with author interviews, staff book recommendations, and plenty of electronic book reader devices and electronic books to choose from.
But let's be clear: Borders is not going to catch Amazon (it lost that battle more than a decade ago) and it's going to be hard pressed to even catch Barnes & Noble, which Borders actually mulled over acquiring last fall.
Here are some facts to consider:
There used to be room in the economy for a nice number three player—being from the automotive state I grew up hearing General Motors, Ford and Chrysler referred to as the "Big Three."
But not anymore, and especially in online retailing. Borders is making every effort to become a serious web player and has been for years. In 2008 Borders finally launched its own e-commerce site with sophisticated guided navigation and other slick features and functions. Prior to that Borders.com served only as a corporate information site and Borders conducted e-commerce through a site hosted by Amazon.com Inc.
More recently Borders rolled out a new electronic books store with 1.5 million titles, including what the retailer says are thousands of free titles. The books come in a variety of formats, including digital and PDF files, the retailer says.
Borders also offered its loyalty program members multiple incentives to shop at the e-books store, including gift cards, free shipping on certain items, double loyalty club dollars, also known as Borders Bucks, and exclusive offers on select digital titles.
But let's face it: Borders is struggling and it probably won't be as successful as Amazon and Barnes & Noble in the transition to the brave new digital world of electronic book readers and e-books. Nobody, it seems to me, is going to catch Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, under the leadership of CEO William Lynch—the only top executive at a retail chain that came directly to the job from running e-commerce—is betting its entire future on morphing from a conventional books retailer into a truly digital brand.
The lesson Borders is painfully learning now is that it didn't take e-commerce seriously enough all those years ago. Borders does have a few big things going for it online—its loyalty program has 38 million members and is very innovative in digital marketing strategies. In 2009, Borders also invested in Kobo Inc., a device development company and e-books store for smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops and e-readers.
Borders has a new lease on life—at least for now thanks to new financing. But it's likely game over for gaining any big jumps in serious online retailing market share. There's a lesson for Borders and other chain retailers to learn from this: Take the web even more seriously now or settle for being just one more niche retailer or a footnote in the history of failed retail brands.
I hope I don't read about the demise of Borders.com on my Kindle or Nook.

Kate Beckinsale is one of those iconic Hollywood beauties and her recent appearance at the Chanel and P.S. Arts Event in Beverly Hills only reinforced this opinion. It was quite pleasing to witness how she infuses a classic starlet look (expertly crafted frock, porcelain skin) with modern sensibilities (effortless ponytail, softly smoky eye makeup). We were such enthusiasts of this balance that we doubled our efforts and got the skinny on how to recreate this complete beauty look at home. Beckinsale's genius makeup artist, Vasilios Tanis, and hair stylist, Renato Campora, shared their respective dossiers of details, so read on for their thoughtful advice.
"We were inspired by the classic Chanel look-dark eyes and clean, sophisticated skin-and thought it would be perfect with her gorgeous dress," Tanis says. He prepped Beckinsale's skin with the botanical infused Yonka Pamplemousse PG skin lotion. He supplemented the moisturizer with a few drops of Yonka's Oil Serum. "It makes Kate's skin even more supple than usual," Tanis says. "Skin is happy when it has essential oils."
He followed this with makeup artist favorite, Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (in Shade 4) with a latex wedge sponge. Cheeks got a light dusting of Laura Mercier's Cheek Color in the true pinky shade of Rose Petal. Tanis used a natural bristle MAC brush to blend the color from the apple of the cheek back up toward the cheekbone and forehead. "The softer the brush, the less product it picks up, so you get excellent control over how much pigment you deposit," he says. "I didn't want to use too much because she has such beautiful skin." He added a little luminescence to Beckinsale's cheeks with a light dusting of Laura Mercier's Mosaic Shimmer Block in Pink.
For Beckinsale's eyes, Tanis used the silver and white shadows from the Giorgio Armani Midnight Eye Mania palette on the lid as a base color. (The Midnight Eye Mania palette was a limited edition release, but Armani's eye shadows in shades 6,13, and 16 are excellent substitutes.) On top of that he used MAC's shimmery black eye shadow, Black Tied in the crease and underneath the eyes. He lined the top lid and inside the lower lid with MAC's Eye Kohl in Smolder and boosted lashes with Dior's Diorshow Mascara in Black. Finally, Tanis gave Beckinsale's lips a coat of Cle de Peau's peachy pink Lipstick #10 for a gorgeous natural sheen.
"The dress was full of details, so we wanted to do something subtle, simple, and glamorous," Renato Campora says. "This style also showed off Kate's neck and fine features." To achieve Beckinsale's perky-yet-chic ponytail, Campora first applied Kerastase Nutri Scult Mousse to wet hair before drying. He evenly distributed the golf ball-sized amount of mousse for added body and hold.
Using a round brush and T3 hairdryer, Campora dried Beckinsale's hair and then pin curled her entire head in one-inch sections. The curls were left to set for 10 minutes, then Camporo unpinned and brushed them out for a relaxed wave. He sectioned the top triangle section of Beckinsale's hair (her bangs), clipped it aside, and sprayed the rest of Beckinsale's hair with Aveda's Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss for added shine and softness. To give the front part a little height, Campora lightly backcombed the top section, then incorporated this part with the rest of the hair in into a high ponytail. Finally Campora set the look with Leonor Grayl Laque Souple gentle-hold hair styling spray.

By MARY BERNARDVernal Express reporter
The Bureau of Land Management has returned the Seep Ridge Road Environmental Assessment that in May 2009 was sent to the Washington, D.C., office for review.
State BLM Director Juan Palma has requested the Vernal Field Office to begin work on the Decision Record for the Seep Ridge Road environmental assessment, a BLM spokesman told the Vernal Express.
Uintah County maintains considerable interest in paving the road as an artery into the energy extraction area in the southern portion of the county.
"That's where the resources are," said commissioner Darlene Burns, in defense of paving the length of the Seep Ridge Road from Ouray to the county line.
The road is of interest to Carbon, Emery and Grand counties in that an extention of it through Grand County and to I-70 could lead to traffic by-passing the Carbon-Emery County areas to get to the basin. In addition, if a oil refinery were to be built near Green River it could be the road that trucks could haul crude from the Uintah Basin to that plant on.
The project as presently proposed would pave just over 45 miles of existing dirt road that winds through lands used for "grazing, recreation, timber, mining, oil and gas development, agriculture, wildlife habitat, and water resources."
It passes over land owned primarily by federal and state entities, although some private land abuts the project area. Seep Ridge Road terminates at the county line in the Book Cliffs where it branches into a series of smaller two-track roads that lead down from the high country.
"Over a million dollars has already been spent on the engineering and design of the project," Burns said. "But only the first 4.5 miles of road on State Institutional Trust Lands Administration land has been awarded for road upgrade."
That work has been administered by the Uintah Transportation Special Service District through CIVCO Engineering in Vernal.
Whether the whole project can be implemented as proposed won't be determined until after the document is assessed by the Vernal BLM Field Office. It is possible the project may require additional environmental assessment before continuing.
The outcome remains uncertain as details of the environmental assessment may be altered somewhat with the Decision Record.
"There is absolutely no presumption of what the final decision will be until we publish it," said Mike Stiewig, Vernal BLM Field Office manager.
The Decision Record is anticipated sometime toward the end of the year; however, "there's no set timetable for (it)to be completed," said Stiewig,
Paving the Seep Ridge Road has been the subject of controversy for years as industry operators and environmental groups have been split on the benefits of the project.
Back in the mid-1980s, road improvement was suggested as part of a failed plan for a Book Cliffs Highway, connecting Ouray to Interstate 70.
Conservationists challenge the current document as inadequate given that it does not address the original plan.
"The EA analysis is truncated as the project doesn't extend to Grand County as many of the industry operators envision," said Steve Bloch, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.
SUWA contends that the Seep Ridge Road proposal is a "gateway project" to future expansion of the road through the Book Cliffs, an area largely undeveloped.
"I recognize that's not on the drawing board today, but it is the ultimate goal," said Bloch.
Currently, none of the Grand County officials or state and federal highway departments have interest in such an expansion.
Neither the BLM nor Uintah County officials will comment on the timing of the project, saying only that a Decision Record is expected by the holidays.
Comments regarding the Seep Ridge Road paving project were gathered last week during a tour of Seep Ridge Road by representatives of the county, the Vernal BLM Field Office, the governor's office, SUWA and the Vernal Express.

nVIDIA TV Out Howto
(Transferred from the wiki by Peter)
I have seen a ton of users (including myself) try to get TV-out working in linux to no avail. Well I have figured out how to setup TwinVirew to out put the screen from my CRT to the TV. I will post below the relevant X.org configuration. This works great in Fedora Core 3.
The Meat
Basically there are two parts to modify. The first is the modules. Firstly, remove all references to DRI. Add the v4l module in. You should already have glx, but if not add that
Next you will need to edit your video card settings. Make sure that your driver is nvidia. Then add in ALL of the TV section there. Read up on what they all do, but the major ones that may cause a failure is the refresh settings,standard, format, and meta-modes. Fix them as needed. Mine of course is for the USA, using composite out, cloning the screen.Code:Section Module Load glx Load v4l EndSection

Solingen Germany Keyring
Can anyone provide a date for this Solingen keyring.? It is marked Solingen Germany on the blade. One side has what appears to be mother of pearl. It has a fingernail file and a knife blade. It holds 3 keys. I would also like to know its estimated value.

I believe Solingen is a location or area in Germany and not necessarily one specific manufacturer. There are many knife manufacturers from that place. I have checked out the Worthopedia, and cannot find an identical pocket knife/key chain item to what you have here, but other small mother of pearl detailed Soligen pocket knives seem to sell in the $25-125 price range.

(WUSA)-- Doctors, coaches, athletic trainers and parents have started paying closer attention to the sometimes lasting brain injuries sustained from concussions. Kristen Stephenson worries about her 12 year old son, who loves playing the game.
She says, "He gets up two hours before practice and has his uniform on. He can't walk when he gets off the field because they have worked him so hard. But he is smiling."
Gaylor Minett's experience has been far different over the years. After suffering repeated concussions on the football field, he knew he finally had to give it up. "My memory is still kind of off, and I slur words, " says Minett.
Because of growing concerns that some of the damage from repeated concussions doesn't go away, one leading Boston researcher has proposed very tough guidelines for restrictions on the youngest athletes.
Dr. Robert Cantu is a neurosurgeon with the Boston University School of Medicine and has studied neuro-degenerative brain disorders in athletes who have suffered repeated head injuries.
Dr. Cantu says, "We believe that kids under the age of 14 should not play collision sports as they currently are played. We believe they should not be playing tackle football."
And Dr. Robert Cantu wants other sports to change as well. He recommends no full-body checking under age 14 in ice hockey. And for younger soccer players, no 'heading' the ball.
He explains, " The young child is particularly vulnerable to brain injury."
At the professional level, greater recognition of the long-term consequences of repeated concussions has led the NFL to take action with new rules that dictate when players can get back on the field.
The NFL Players Association, worried about the safety of its athletes, has formed a Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, of which Dr. Jim Ecklund, Neuroscience Chair at Inova Fairfax Hospital, is a part.
Dr. Ecklund says the goals of the committee are medical and educational. "Protect the players as the game's gotten faster and more aggressive and the athletes have gotten more powerful. We need to have them tackling correctly and not leading with the head but tackling correctly and doing smart drills."
Dr. Ecklund thinks banning tackle football at the youth or Pop Warner level is too extreme. But he says one thing HAS to happen at all levels of the game: athletes who suffer a concussion need to stay OFF the field until they are symptom-free for a week; if the player loses consciousness in the hit, he recommends two weeks of rest. Otherwise, he says there is a greater danger of something called "second impact syndrome."
Dr. Ecklund cautions, " Especially a child, who hasn't totally recovered from the first concussion, can have a relatively small second concussion and develop severe brain swelling that can be life-threatening."
That's something Gaylor Minnett didn't want to risk, after one particularly violent play.
Minnett says, "I just remember hitting him head-on, and I'm walking away from the hit and all I see is white, and I'm like 'Oh my God,' where am I right now?"
Signs of a concussion include dizziness, confusion, temporary memory loss headaches, and nausea.
