Applications are now being accepted.
There are over 4 million people living in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara—the counties served by the Bay Area JusticeCorps program partner courts. Many of these people cannot afford legal representation and need assistance when trying to navigate through complicated court proceedings. By providing information, referrals, and assistance with forms completion, Bay Area JusticeCorps members help mitigate that:
Since it began in 2006, Bay Area JusticeCorps has served more than 120,000 self-represented litigants, and graduated nearly 500 JusticeCorps alumni.
JusticeCorps members will be trained to provide legal information to self–represented litigants to assist them
with resolving important legal matters. JusticeCorps members assist litigants by helping them prepare court paperwork, by making referrals, or through assistance at legal information workshops. Members will receive training in a variety of areas to support and enhance the member's service to the public as well as training that will support the members' individual development. Members will be placed at one of 6 service locations located throughout the Bay Area.
Please note that you cannot save the application once you have started completing it online. There are several short answer questions which may require more time than you may have available in one sitting.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A request from a local developer and the non-use of property behind Mont Harmon Junior High resulted in the Carbon Board of Education declaring about 14 acres of school district land as surplus last Wednesday.
"The land in question is mostly hillside and cliffs so it is relatively useless to us," said education boardmember Grady McEvoy during the discussion at the April 9 . "But we have to follow some parameters before we decide to sell it to a private individual."
The first parameter that the board had to follow is to offer the land to Price City and Carbon County. The city or county would have to pay market appraised value to acquire the property. In the event Price city or the county want to purchase the land from the district, the property could only be used for a park, a type of open space or a municipal building.
If the public entities do not want the land, then the board can make the decision to sell the land to Dave O'Brien, who approached the school district in February concerning the purchase of the property.
Up until the meeting, the education officials had a question on whether the board would have to advertise the land and take bids on the property. But shortly before the board meeting on Wednesday, the question was answered.
"We asked the attorney general's office about this and they told us that the board could sell the land to whom they wanted once the other parameters were met," said Carbon School trict's superintendent, Patsy Bueno.
After O'Brien had approached the board, the group gave McEvoy the authority to negotiate with him on the land deal, but McEvoy said he hadn't done too much with the situation because the board had to declare the property surplus and offer it to the local governments before any substantial talks could take place.
The property in question takes in the entire front of the cliffs behind the junior high, and part of a flat spot on the top of Wood Hill. Within that flat spot is a small area the district gave to the county for a radio relay station. Most of the property as it presently exists is on a steep grade or is vertical. The well known "C's" painted on the cliffs many years ago as a symbol of Carbon High and at one time Carbon College as well, exist in this area. The College of Eastern Utah also has a sign that they raise and light up at certain times on the property as well. It is unclear as to what might happen to these symbols if the property passes into private hands.
On the east end of the property the district is attempting to work out some kind of trade with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that has a meeting house near there for some property and a building the church owns in Sunnyside near the new Bruin Point Elementary School. Those talks are still in motion.
If the county and city say they don't want the property, McEvoy will begin talks with O'Brien about the land, with possible action on the situation by the board taking place in the next month or two.

It's time to spread a little holiday jeer — with the second helping of my annual Lump of Coal Awards.
Now in their 17th year, the Lump of Coal Awards recognize managers, executives, firms, watchdogs and other fund-industry fumblers for action, attitude, behavior, execution or performance that is misguided, bumbling, offensive, disingenuous, reprehensible or just plain stupid.
Last week, I noted six situations where the recipients deserved nothing more than an inky chunk of carbon in their Christmas stocking. Today, it's the rest of the "winners." Read Who's been naughty in the fund industry?
The remaining 2012 Lumps of Coal go to the following:
The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, for needing two extra years to figure out whether a fund's board was negligent when managers were charged with fraud.
Just last week, the SEC announced charges against eight former directors of the RMK funds for "violating their asset-pricing responsibilities" when funds they oversaw were crushed during the financial crisis of 2008.
RMK High Income and RMK Intermediate Bond — both run by James Kelsoe, the Lump of Coal Mis-Manager of the Year in 2007 — held illiquid securities that were improperly valued when daily share prices were calculated. Basically, the fund board allowed Kelsoe to set the market prices on some subprime paper that there was little or no market for. In many cases, as the subprime market was imploding, the securities were still valued at their purchase price.
The minute real valuations were put in place for the underlying securities, the funds cratered. In 2010, the SEC and other regulators charged the RMK funds' managers with fraud, accepting $200 million last year to settle the charges.
The directors, of course, deserve our scorn, but they weren't charged with anything until this month.
It shouldn't take that long to recognize board ineptitude and wrongdoing. Read the first cases and it is obvious that the managers were aided and abetted by the board's policies (or lack thereof) and actions (or lack thereof).
To send a statement that fraud falls not just on the evil-doers but on their handlers and overseers, the SEC needed to hit RMK's directors at the same time it was smacking down the managers. That would make it easier to tack on serious fines to the settlement and force the rest of the industry's boards to stand up and take notice that they will be held complicit if a manager misbehaves on their watch. Instead, the filings made last week went nearly unnoticed.
Morningstar Inc., in the hope that coal will make the firm get meaner.
Just over a year ago, Morningstar began giving analyst ratings to funds, basically breaking the fund world into three categories, "the ones we like or love" — which get ratings from gold to bronze — "the ones we don't care about" which get a "neutral" rating, and "the ones we dislike/hate," which draw a "negative" review.
Who's been naughty in the fund industry?
MarketWatch's Chuck Jaffe presents his 17th Annual "Lump of Coal Awards." (Photo: AP)
The problem is the firm's analysts like nearly two-thirds of the funds they review, while just 5% of the rated funds get negative marks.
That's less fund watchdog, and more fund lap dog.
Morningstar howls at that criticism, however. Officials note that it has rated roughly 1,050 funds, and that about 6,100 funds (using just one share class per fund) will go unrated. Those unrated issues are funds the firm has decided are too small and will only be worth rating if their performance and asset growth begin to attract mainstream attention.

Customers who walk through the Salmon Run Mall entrance by Regal Cinemas now are greeted by the metallic glint of 310-gallon fermentation tanks perched atop a 14-foot mezzanine at Skewed Brewing Co.
Co-owners Ryan and Cheryl Chaif, who opened the business with Mark P. Crandall, have hired about 50 part- and full-time employees.
The brew pub and eatery, which opened Tuesday next to the theater, will host a grand opening featuring live jazz music Oct. 18, 19 and 20. Those who wear hats or T-shirts purchased from Skewed Brewing or the Hops Spot, which the Chaifs also own in Sackets Harbor, during that weekend will receive drink specials.
Inspired by pubs from the Prohibition era, the five-barrel brewhouse, 46-foot stainless steel bar, cement floor and logo featuring skewed lines are intended to provide a distinctive restaurant experience, Mr. Chaif said. Its unusual name was inspired by a mathematical term in geometry referring to two nonparallel lines that dont intersect.
Diners see more signs of the owners creativity when they sit down at the 12-foot-tall bar, where 48 craft beers are available on tap. Draft wines and specialty sodas soon will be debuted, Mr. Chaif said. Another feature installed along shelves behind the bar will be a rolling ladder system that moves along a track mounted to the wall, giving servers easy access to a collection of wine and spirits bottles.
Most wine comes in a bottle and goes bad after you open it, but our wine will always be served fresh from kegs, Mr. Chaif said Wednesday. Our craft beer lineup has a couple of beers from each category, so youll find something whether youre new or old to the hobby.
The brewhouse will make beer using recipes crafted by the co-owners starting in 2014, Mr. Chaif said, when it plans to unveil its own line of homemade brews.
The 2,250-square-foot eatery, which seats about 100 diners, has a menu with an eclectic range of brick-oven pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers including salads, soups, chicken wings and baked pretzels. Its culinary team has expertise cooking duck, Mrs. Chaif said, which is featured with pizza, salads and sandwiches. She said one of the menus unique sandwiches, named Hoi Ahn, is made with pulled pork and flavored with cilantro and lime juice. The recipe was inspired by a sandwich the Chaifs sampled during a trip to Italy.
The eaterys location next to the theatre has been a bonus for couples with children who want to dine out, Mrs. Chaif said.
We had two couples yesterday that came in and dropped their kids off at the theater to eat here, she said. There are a lot of corporate restaurants and family-style places in Watertown. But there arent many local restaurants that have a different style like us.

Wales had retained a separate legal and administrative system, which had been established by Edward I in the late 13th century. Under the Tudor monarchy, Henry VIII replaced the laws of Wales with those of England (under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542).
Wales now ceased to be a personal fiefdom divided between the Prince of Wales and the Earl of March, and was instead annexed to the Kingdom of England, and henceforth was represented in the Parliament of England.
During the 1530s, Henry VIII overthrew the power of the Roman Catholic Church within the kingdom, replacing the pope as head of the English church and seizing the church's lands, thereby facilitating the creation of a new Protestant religion. This had the effect of aligning England with Scotland, which also gradually adopted a Protestant religion, whereas the most important continental powers, France and Spain, remained Roman Catholic.
In 1541, during Henry VIII's reign, the Parliament of Ireland proclaimed him king of Ireland, thereby bringing the Kingdom of Ireland into personal union with the Kingdom of England.
Calais, the last remaining continental possession of the Kingdom, was lost in 1558, during the reign of Philip and Mary I.
Their successor, Elizabeth I, consolidated the new Protestant Church of England. She also began to build up the Kingdom's naval strength, on the foundations Henry VIII had laid down. In 1588, her new navy was strong enough to defeat the Spanish Armada, which had sought to invade England in order to put a Catholic monarch on the throne in her place.
The House of Tudor ended with the death of Elizabeth I on 24 March 1603. James I ascended the throne of England and brought it into personal union with the Kingdom of Scotland. Despite the Union of the Crowns, the kingdoms remained separate and independent states: a state of affairs which lasted for more than a century.
The Stuart kings overestimated the power of the English monarchy, and were cast down by Parliament in 1645 and 1688. In the first instance, Charles I's introduction of new forms of taxation in defiance of Parliament led to the English Civil War (1641–45), in which the king was defeated, and to the abolition of the monarchy under Oliver Cromwell during the interregnum of 1649–1660. Henceforth, the monarch could reign only at the will of Parliament.
Following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, an attempt by James II to reintroduce Roman Catholicism—a century after its suppression by the Tudors—led to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, in which he was deposed by Parliament. The Crown was then offered by Parliament to James II's Protestant daughter and son-in-law/nephew, William III and Mary II.
In 1707, Acts of Union were passed by both Parliament of Scotland and the Parliament of England, to ratify the 1706 Treaty of Union, and bring into being the new Kingdom of Great Britain. Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuart, became the first monarch of the new kingdom. The English and Scottish Parliaments were merged into the Parliament of Great Britain, located in Westminster, London.
At this point England ceased to exist as a separate political entity, and since then has had no national government. The laws of England were unaffected, with the legal jurisdiction continuing to be that of England and Wales, while Scotland continued to have its own laws and law courts.
This continued after the Act of Union of 1800 between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland, which created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (later the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).(wikipedia.org)

Every Wednesday we'll take a look at the status of the
Rangers' AHL affiliate. Top prospects Ryan Bourque and Carl Hagelin will
be key players for the Whale this season - we'll check on how they're doing and
how the team performs as the season progresses.
- Connecticut won consecutive games this weekend to reclaim
first place in the Northeast Division.
On Friday the Whale slipped by the Bridgeport Sound Tigers
3-2 in overtime to beat their rivals for the first time this season. Brendan Bell scored the game-winner on a
breakaway goal with just
6.8 seconds remaining in the extra frame.
Carl Hagelin and Francois Bouchard also scored. It was Bouchard's first goal of the season
and as a member of the Whale. Chad
Johnson stopped 15 of 17 shots, but Bridgeport still managed a point because
Kevin Poulin made 42 saves for the Sound Tigers. It is troubling that Connecticut again
surrendered a 2-1 lead in the third period.
On Saturday Connecticut came back from a two-goal third
period deficit to defeat the
Providence Bruins 3-2 in a shootout.
Bell followed up his OT winner with the Whale's first goal against
Providence and Jordan Owens also scored for Connecticut. Cam Talbot stopped 18 of 20 shots. John Mitchell and Hagelin scored for the
Whale in the shootout while Talbot stopped five of the Bruins' six attempts. Aaron
Voros, Jared Nightingale, Mats Zuccarello and Wade Redden were the scratches. Zuccarello sat out because he was feeling
sick. Redden suffered an
upper-body injury on Saturday.
- Bell has two goals and two assists in his last three games
after sitting out as a healthy scratch.
He now has two goals and five assists in 10 games this season to lead CT
- Hagelin, Mitchell, Zuccarello and Jonathan Audy-Marchessault are in a four-way tie for the team lead with 12 points apiece. Zuccarello, though, has recorded his 12
points in just 10 games.
- Hagelin leads the Whale at plus-10. No other CT player is better than
plus-5. Hagelin also leads the team with
42 shots on goal.
- Voros spoke with Paul Doyle of the Hartford Courant about
signing with the CT Whale and indicated that he made a mistake by passing on
some opportunities (NHL offers?) this summer.
Voros asked GM Glen Sather for a shot to prove himself in Connecticut
and Sather obliged. "Voros said he
called Sather -- or Mr. Sather, as he referred to him -- and asked if 'he
minded if I go down to Hartford and play and see if I can help them out down
there and see if I can get these wheels turning again.'"
- Kris Newbury was suspended
four games for an illegal hit to
the head on November 18th against
- With Newbury suspended, Voros should make his debut tonight against
- The Whale recalled defenseman Lee Baldwin from the Greenville
Road Warriors.
- Bruce Berlet writes about Tim Erixon's busy year.
- SNYRangersBlog's Nick Perri examines how Erixon and Hagelin have
played this season for the Whale.
- The week ahead: Connecticut will face-off against the
Portland Pirates tonight at 7:00 p.m.
Then, the Whale will play back-to-back road games on Friday and
Saturday, first in Bridgeport and then against Springfield. Both games start at 7:00 p.m.

Since 1972, Roland has been a trusted name in the manufacturing of musical instruments, equipment and software, and their electronic drums and percussion are no exception. While at one time electronic drums had a synthesized and artificial sound that soon became outdated, today's electronic drums have the ability of replicating the sound of a real acoustic kit. Simply put, electronic drums and percussion have come a long way since the 1980s, and a large amount of credit can be given to Roland's technological advances in the field.
With a dedicated team that's committed to bringing the joy of music to as many people as possible, Roland has built a reputation amongst top recording artists. In fact, renowned drummers like David Cannava and Meytal Cohen are loyal users of Roland drums and percussion, and you'll find more than enough options to choose from throughout their extensive catalog. From kits and sampling pads to acoustic drum triggers and more.
One of the many top-rated items offered by Roland is the TD-30KV V-Pro Series electronic drum kit. Consisting of superb mesh pads and hardware, this kit is industry leading when it comes to expressive sound quality and incredible playability. For those looking for a powerful drum pad, the Roland Octapad SPD-30 is a portable pad that combines the globe's most essential sounds with the latest percussion triggering technology. Another popular choice is the Roland KD-120 V-Kick Trigger Pad. Both sturdy and functional, this trigger pad gives V-Drums and other electronic drum system owners an exceptionally accurate kick drum triggering pad that will surely improve a player's sound.
Owning electronic drums and percussion has many upsides. Not only can they give you the realism of an acoustic kit without having to lug around heavy hardware and cymbals, but they can also allow you to practice anywhere and anytime you like without disturbing others. And thanks to their state-of-the-art designs and innovative craftsmanship, Roland drums and percussion will you consistently performing at the top of your game.

How much can a U.S. president committed to greater equality hope to accomplish when lawmakers devoted to helping the rich hold the upper hand?
Advocacy for equality must take a backseat, Obama administration insiders insist, when fanatical friends of the fortunate in Congress recklessly endanger our nation.
But in 1943, a U.S. president confronted a debt ceiling crisis just like Obama's - and came up with a different answer. Facing rabid lawmakers every bit as opposed to taxing the rich as ours today, Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't let up on the struggle for a more equal America. He doubled down.
Roosevelt's debt ceiling battle actually began right after Pearl Harbor. The nation needed a revenue boost to wage and win the war.
FDR and his New Dealers wanted to finance the war equitably, with stiff tax rates on high incomes. How stiff? FDR proposed a 100 percent top tax rate. At a time of "grave national danger," Roosevelt told Congress in April 1942, "no American citizen ought to have a net income, after he has paid his taxes, of more than $25,000 a year." That would be about $350,000 in today's dollars.
The year before, steel exec Eugene Grace had grabbed $522,537, over $8 million today, in 1941 salary.
But conservative lawmakers would quickly reject FDR's plan. Four months later, Roosevelt tried again. He repeated his $25,000 "supertax" income cap call in his Labor Day message.
Congress shrugged that request off, too. FDR still didn't back down. In early October, he issued an executive order that limited top corporate salaries to $25,000 after taxes. The move would "provide for greater equality in contributing to the war effort," Roosevelt declared.
Infuriated conservatives saw red, literally. The "only logical stopping place for this movement," fumed Princeton economist Harley Lutz, would be "a completely communistic equalization of incomes."
Rich-people-friendly lawmakers vowed to kill FDR's executive order by any legislative means necessary. They ended up attaching a rider repealing the order to a bill that would give the wartime debt ceiling a desperately needed lift. FDR tried and failed to get that rider axed, then let the bill with it become law without his signature. He had no choice. Our troops needed financing.
Roosevelt had definitely lost the debt ceiling battle over the salary cap, as he no doubt knew he would. But sometimes a leader can win by "losing." FDR didn't prevail on the cap. He did prevail in his far broader struggle to shape the wartime finance debate.
Roosevelt's relentless campaign to cap top incomes kept that debate focused on taxing the rich. Conservatives didn't want to do that taxing. They wanted a national sales tax, as do many conservatives today. But FDR's aggressive advocacy for equity never let that regressive sales tax notion get traction.
The war revenue debate would be fought on Roosevelt's terms - not on whether to tax the rich, but on how much. And, in the end, that "how much" would turn out to be quite a great deal. By the war's end, America's wealthy would be paying taxes on income over $200,000 at a 94 percent statutory rate.
Americans making over $250,000 in 1944 - over $3.2 million today - paid 69 percent of their total incomes in federal income taxes, after exploiting every loophole they could find. In 2007, by contrast, America's 400 highest earners paid just 18.1 percent of their total incomes, after loopholes, in federal taxes.
The debt ceiling "solution" that White House and congressional leaders bargained does not ask these top 400 - or any other rich Americans - to pay a penny more in taxes than they do now. In the 2011 debt ceiling struggle, inequality has clearly triumphed.
So what does FDR's debt ceiling battle teach us? Maybe this: We really can have a more equal America. We just need to fight for it.

The Strangers
The horrifying events that took place in the Hoyt family's vacation home at 1801 Clark Road on Feb. 11, 2005, are still not entirely known. Champagne. Rose petals. Candlelight. It was supposed to be a night of celebration for Kristen McKay and James Hoyt. But, after leaving a friend's wedding reception and returning to the house, everything had collapsed for the happy couple. Then came a 4 a.m. knock on the door and a haunting voice. "Is Tamara here?" "The Strangers" is a terrifying suspense thriller about a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. The confrontation forces Kristen and James to go far beyond what they think themselves capable of if they hope to survive.

This email is being sent to all members of the Baruch faculty.
A few reminders to all members of our community:
- Please remember to erase everything written on the white boards as a courtesy to the next instructor.
- Transition between successive classes occupying a classroom: Students and instructors have a right to enter their room in a timely fashion, and instructors already in the room should not continue teaching past the end of the period. But departing students and instructors are also entitled to use a portion of the room for informal discussions in the minutes immediately following class. Both in-coming and out-going students and instructors should be respectful and accommodating during these transitional periods.
- Please ask your students to clean up after themselves.
- Don't forget to log off the lectern computer before you leave the room.
- Please be sure to turn off the ceiling projectors when you finish using them; replacement bulbs are expensive. (The projectors turn off automatically only on certain settings.)
- Please don't leave extra, un-used blue books in a classroom. Blue books should not be easily accessible: some students take extras and use them to camouflage the notes they bring into a closed-book exam.
All best wishes,

Hitting a home (insurance) run
Any number of catastrophes can hit home and turn life upside-down. Home insurance helps you pick up the pieces, turn things right side up again and sleep easy, knowing your biggest investment is safe.
Home insurance covers the house structure as well as your personal belongings. It also provides liability protection in case someone sues you, and money to cover additional living expenses if you have to live somewhere else while your home is undergoing repair after a covered loss.
Types of homeowners policiesPolicies vary by insurance company, state law and the type of home. Here are some of the basic standard policies you might run across:
- HO-1 policies, which have been discontinued in most states, cover the house and belongings against 10 perils.
- HO-2 policies cover the house and possessions against 16 perils.
- HO-3 policies cover all perils except those that are excluded in the fine print.
- HO-4 policies are for renters. They cover the renter's possessions against 16 perils and provide liability coverage. They don't cover the building itself.
- HO-6 policies, designed for co-op and condominium owners, cover liability, belongings and improvements to the owner's unit. The condo association usually has a policy covering the
- HO-8 policies are designed for older homes that would cost much more to rebuild than they are worth on the housing market. The policies pay for the cost of repairs up to the actual cash value, or market value, of the damaged structure.
Key points for home insurance buyers
Unless you're buying an HO-8 policy, you'll want to insure your home for the amount it would cost to rebuild it, not its market value. If your home burns to the ground, the insurer will reimburse you for rebuilding the house. Construction costs might be more or less than the home's market value. Remember, the cost to rebuild should not include the value of the land.
Too many people find out the hard way that they underinsured their homes. After disaster strikes, they learn the home insurance money isn't enough to rebuild the house to its former stature. United Policyholders, a consumer-advocacy group in San Francisco, offers a wealth of information about how to make sure you have enough insurance, including tips from disaster survivors.
The coverage for contents -- furniture, clothing, and other belongings -- is typically a portion, such as 50 percent, of the home's insured value. If your dwelling is insured for $300,000, for instance, the contents coverage would be $150,000.
You can get more coverage for belongings by paying a higher premium. To find out how much insurance you need for contents, do a thorough inventory. The Insurance Information Institute provides free home-inventory software at KnowYourStuff.org. Besides helping you determine how much coverage to buy, a thorough inventory will also help you work with the insurance company if you ever need to make a claim.
Keep in mind that home insurance policies typically cap the amount of coverage for valuables, such as fine art, jewelry, coins, antiques and other precious items. You'll need to buy extra coverage for those items. Here's more about insuring your valuables.
Understand the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost coverage. Actual cash value coverage reimburses you for the cost of the lost or damaged item minus depreciation. So if fire destroys your 10-year-old TV, you're reimbursed for the value of a 10-year-old TV. Replacement cost coverage reimburses you for the cost to buy a new TV.
Replacement cost coverage is pricier than actual cash value coverage, but you'll be glad to have it if you ever lose everything in a disaster.
How home insurance is priced
Home insurance premiums vary according to the amount and type of coverage you buy, where you live, the insurer offering the coverage, the deductible and your credit and loss history. See 15 ways to save on home insurance.
Understand that home insurance doesn't protect your home against everything. You need to buy separate flood insurance and earthquake insurance policies to cover damage from those perils. For more, see what your policy won't cover.
Finally, home insurance isn't something you buy once and forget about until you sell the house. Insurance agents recommend reviewing your coverage once a year to make sure you have sufficient coverage. You should increase coverage whenever you remodel or improve the home.

One of the more exciting booths at the recent CTIA Wireless convention in Las Vegas was the booth set up by AT&T. AT&T took advantage of the CTIA Wireless convention to showcase the new U-Verse mobile service and the corresponding app. The app that is set for release on the Apple iPhone will allow customers to watch content from their U-Verse DVR home setup directly on their mobile device. Customers will also be able to browse television schedules and set recordings for their home DVR. Then those videos can then be streamed to either a mobile phone or a connected laptop.
AT&T has long allowed customers to remotely program their DVR but not the carrier is showcasing the streaming capabilities of the U-Verse Mobile service. While pricing and specific availability for the new U-Verse app have not been released AT&T has made it clear that the app will not be exclusive to the iPhone. This service is expected to be released later this year and is sure to be a hit with all of AT&T's U-Verse subscribers.
AT&T's new U-Verse app is just another example of the fantastic advancements we are making with our mobile devices. It should be pretty amazing to have the capabilities to record your favorite television shows or movies in your home and be able to take those programs with you wherever you go with your mobile device. This can be the perfect app for those of us who are regularly on the go and do not have time to sit around and watch television. We can just record the shows that we would like to see and watch them whenever we want wherever we want on our unlocked mobile devices. This is one of the newest apps that I am really looking forward to its release.

With the Thanksgiving holiday nearly here, gas prices are what is on the mind of many drivers.
The reason? Thanksgiving is one of the highest travel holidays of any that take place each year. National statistics say that the average driver who goes somewhere other than staying at home for the holiday will put 800 miles on their vehicle. For most this is at least two gas tanks full of fuel.
This past week the average retail gasoline price in Utah has fallen 1.1 cents per gallon averaging $2.77 per gallon.
This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.87 per gallon, according to gasoline price website UtahGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Utah during the past week, prices at the end of last week were 16.2 cents per gallon higher than the same time one year ago and are 3.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
The national average has increased 4.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 22.9 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
UtahGasPrices.com is operated by GasBuddy. The company operates GasBuddy.com, UtahGasPrices.com, and over 225 other local gasoline price-tracking websites that follow prices at over 125,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. GasBuddy also uses Facebook (facebook.com/gasbuddy) Twitter (twitter.com/gasbuddy), and phone apps to keep motorists ahead of changing gasoline prices.
What prices will do between Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays, is anyones guess, but traditionally they stay about the same, verses the summer holidays when prices usually increase.

Hold 'er steady.
Put the Kinetic Riser Ring under your front wheel and watch the pros ride last year's tour while you sit and spin for a few hours. The Riser Ring accommodates tires up to 2.25 inches wide and features four heights in half-inch increments to level out your bike. If you really want to enhance the simulation, stack some phone books underneath and pretend you're climbing Ventoux.

Bye Bye Phone Book
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For years I was took cheap to buy a riser block. I used phone books, blocks of wood, weight scales, sandles stacked inside each other... Anything I could find to save the $40 bucks. All that effort to save the $40, and experience a sub-par indoor riding experience was not worth it -- this thing changed my indoor riding life.
The ring works well for my road, mountain, and gravel bikes because of the different groove heights in the riser ring.
Trevor J
Great Riser
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Solid, not as bulky as other risers and has a few different height settings which is nice. I would suggest using a floor mat underneath it for added stability and protecting whatever surface is beneath it.
Blder Seven
Does what it is supposed to do
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a must have if you are using an indoor trainer. I like that it has plenty of different settings to adjust the front wheel height. I have a mat that I place my trainer and riser block on - so it does not move while I ride. I rotate the block after every ride so I'm not always riding at the same setting.
David S R.
I don't like it
it has very little contact with the floor and it get's out of place too easy unless you have a foam mat, or carpet.
Damon Salter
It's a riser man.
I like the Kinetic riser because it has four height setting. It leaves a nice ring on the carper so you know exactly where to put it before your ride.

Although the previous spiky shoes win for volume of spikes, today's pairs of spiky shoes win in length. Imagine being impaled by one of these bad boys. Ouch!
These shoes come from Danish designer, Barbara Gongini. There are also some boots below that look more like a hair wig than anything else. It could possibly double as your next Halloween costume.

Camping on the parking space
(P) LOT, an ongoing project by Michael Rakowitz (of the notorious paraSITE), questions the occupation of public space and encourages reconsiderations of "legitimate" participation in city life.
Instead of using municipal parking spaces to store vehicles, P (LOT) proposes to rent them for alternative purposes. The acquisition of municipal permits and simple payment of parking meters could enable citizens to, for example, establish temporary encampments or use the leased ground for different kinds of activities. A first initiative turns ordinary car covers into portable tents, available for loan at the MUMOK, the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna. Interested citizens have the choice to use one of five covers ranging from a common Sedan to a luxurious Porsche or motorcycle.

Last week's Economist magazine carries a Survey of New Media.
The online version has interviews with David Sifry, Chris Anderson, Jerry Michalski, Paul Saffo and Andreas Kluth.
The Exploding School
Designed to function outside of the traditional classroom space, the exploding school is nomadic. Taking its cue from Colin Ward and Anthony Fyson's book Streetwork it seeks to utilise the city as its classroom. The school attaches itself to educational institutions, piggy-backing established infrastructures and administrative frameworks and organizes tours in and around chosen cities with guest speakers and tour guides.
This expanded notion of the city as classroom is an experiment in inter-disciplinary education. The school is particularly concerned with the production of space, the environment and the city as a multitude of ecologies; touring parks, gardens, collectively produced art spaces, official city recycling and filtration facilities and their self-initiated community based counterparts. The school playfully mixes together the ambience of a school geography field trip, a city tour and a dissociative fugue. The school investigates recent developments in public art strategies, culture and regeneration, gentrification, urbanism, the environment, and projects that privilege social process.
