Mount Columbia
14,073 Feet (Ranked 35th in CO)
West Slopes from North Cottonwood Creek Trailhead (9,900 Feet)
Class 2
June 21st, 2009
11.5 Miles Roundtrip
Elevation Gained: Approximately 4,250 Feet
Mount Columbia lies in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness near Buena Vista. Its name honors Columbia University, the Ivy League university that was founded in New York City in 1754. Several nearby peaks (Mt. Harvard, Mt. Yale, and Mt. Princeton) are also named for Ivy League schools. The Collegiate Peaks Wilderness has the highest average altitude of any wilderness area in the United States.
The standard route on Mt. Columbia is commonly mentioned as the least favorite route on a fourteener. The trail along North Cottonwood Creek and Horn Fork Creek is idyllic; the upper ridge is an easy hike with excellent views. In between the scenic Horn Fork Basin and the upper ridge, though, lies a steep and miserable 2,000-foot slope that is primarily composed of loose scree. It's enough to make a preacher curse.
GPS track of my route on Mt. Columbia (overlaid on a modified version of Bill Middlebrooks' GPX file posted on 14ers.com)
To say that I was extremely motivated to hike Mt. Columbia would be an understatement. When my Jeep wouldn't start at 2:30 a.m., I decided to take my Saturn coupe on the journey up the somewhat sketchy Chaffee County Rd. 365. The road was an unknown variable; some people call it a 4WD road, while others insist that it is passable by 2WD vehicles. The rocky, potholed road got my undivided attention, and I was able to make it to the North Cottonwood Creek Trailhead without bumping or scraping anything.
There were quite a few vehicles at the trailhead, but I didn't see too many people. I presumed that most of the people were either camping in the Horn Fork Basin or had gotten an early start for Mt. Harvard, which uses the same trailhead. The trail crosses North Cottonwood Creek on a sturdy bridge less than a quarter mile beyond the trailhead.
The trail seemed pretty typical for the Sawatch Range – not so different from the trails on Mt. Massive, La Plata Peak, and others. The trees and understory growth seemed lush and green compared to those in the Front Range.
The wildflowers along the trail were not so spectacular, but I saw a lot of my favorite Colorado wildflower – the western red columbine. None of my images turned out, so I've included an image of the western red columbine that I took on Mt. Antero last year.

The trail enters the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness at about the 0.5-mile mark. Hikers are supposed to fill out a card with the number of members in their party before they enter the wilderness. I've never actually seen this policy being enforced.
This was an above-average year for snowfall in the Sawatch Range, and there is still plenty snow melting. Water was high in North Cottonwood Creek, and the trail was pretty muddy in spots. Some areas had stepping stones, but it was necessary to wade through a little bit of muck. Gore-Tex boots and gaiters can keep the suffering to a minimum.
At the 1.5-mile mark, I passed the junction of the Horn Fork Trail with the Kroenke Lake Trail. Staying right at this junction led me into the Horn Fork Basin.
Occasionally muddy trail conditions continued in the Horn Fork Basin. Two nominally similar wildflowers grew on and along the trail in the wet areas: the marsh marigold and the white globeflower. Both are low-growing with white flowers, and they can only be found in wetlands. The wildflowers livened up the scenery a bit.
The white globeflower (Trollius laxus ssp. albiflorus)
At about 2.75 miles, there was a small clearing with a few informal campsites. The area looked pretty exposed to the elements, and several of the larger trees had apparently snapped off in a storm. Mt. Columbia's shoulder should have been visible from this vantage point, but low cloud cover obscured the view.
A few snowdrifts persisted on the trail above 11,000 feet. The snow was well consolidated, so I was able to step over the drifts without postholing.
Some people have complained that Mt. Columbia's side trail off of the Horn Fork Trail is poorly marked. There was a rock cairn in the middle of the main trail, and a cairn on the right (east) side of the trail. The junction was near waypoint #102 on Bill Middlebrooks' GPX file (downloadable from 14ers.com).
The side trail may confuse some hikers. There are two intersections in the trail, and the correct route is not really obvious. The trail crosses a trail that follows a drainage to the northeast; I crossed the trail, crossed the creek, and continued eastward on the same trail. I made a right at the next intersection, and stayed on the trail until I reached a snowfield beside a large rock formation.
The snowfield was well-consolidated, and was not difficult to cross. People had obviously been boot skiing on the slick surface. The side trail continued on the far side of the snowfield. Numerous cairns marked the route through a large talus field. Low-hanging clouds hid the upper slopes from my view.
The dreaded scree slope loomed over the talus field. The trail was easy enough to follow, but the steepness and the looseness of the footing made travel slow and exhausting. It was cold and windy, and I had to layer up to stay warm. I only had a pair of light liner gloves that were woefully inadequate. Shifting winds brought clouds in from various directions, and made it hard to get a good read on the weather. The wind was so loud that I would not have been able to hear thunder until it was dangerously close. The clouds were so thick that I would not have been able to see lightning from a distance. I was looking for excuses to bail on the route and return on another day. The long slog gave me plenty of time to contemplate the human condition. It was Father's Day, and I couldn't help but think about the hardships that my grandfather had faced. He was born on a farm, and attended a one-room schoolhouse in rural West Virginia. His father died when he was 12 years old, so Grandfather labored on neighboring farms to work his way through high school. He taught grade school to get through college. He eventually earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University (ergo the Father's Day climb on Mt. Columbia), and became an internationally known botanist. Thinking about his struggles and accomplishments helped me put my tiny, tiny scree problem in perspective. The slope eased near the top, and the trail gradually became better. A cairn marked the point where the trail reached the crest of the summit ridge.
I had hoped that the clouds would lift before I reached the summit ridge, but I was not so fortunate. There was still plenty of snow on the ridge, but much of it could be avoided by staying on the western side of the drifts.
I knew that the summit was less than half a mile away, but I couldn't see it through the clouds. I couldn't see any of the bumps on the ridge until I was practically standing on them. I had to cross a few snowfields, but none of them were particularly deep or steep. At one point, the clouds lifted and I could see clear blue sky. Thunderstorms seemed like a remote possibility.
I was fooled by a couple of false summits, but I was relieved when I finally reached the true summit. I was surprised to see a pair of hikers already up there; they had obviously ascended by a different route. It turns out that one of the hikers was 14ers.com member Scott Hsu.
The wind was pretty nasty on the summit, and I couldn't even see Mt. Harvard or any of the surrounding peaks. The rotten weather dampened my spirits, but I probably wouldn't have many summits if I only hiked on clear days. With questionable weather and negligible visibility, I saw little reason to hang out on the summit. Scott Hsu was kind enough to snap my summit picture for me.

The clouds started to lift as I descended. I could see the southeast ridge, and it looked like it would have been a fun hike. I would have to recommend the Southeast Ridge Route or the Three Elks Creek Route over Columbia's West Slopes Route. I'll take a gentle grassy ridge over a steep scree slope every time.
Farther down the ridge, I met a hiker named Bill who had two yellow lab hiking partners. They were having a blast. Bill had come up a gully that looked far worse than the path that I had taken. It could always be worse, couldn't it? A cairn marks the point where the trail drops down from the ridge; it could really ruin your day if you missed this cairn and continued down the ridge.
The West Slope's scree makes for an agonizing ascent, but the descent is only slightly better. One misstep, and you're likely to get a scree wedgie. If all goes well, you still hammer your knee cartilage on the steep slope. I tried to double-time a section of trail, and wound up flat on the seat of my pants. The mountain always wins.
I was most of the way down the slope by 11:00. The weather had improved considerably, but the ice crystals on some of the rocks showed no sign of melting.
Bear Lake, just below Pt. 13,598, was still mostly covered with ice.
A marmot startled me with his piercing squeal. This clearly superior life form seemed unwilling to relinquish his territory, so I beat a hasty retreat.
The weather was beautiful by the time I reached treeline, so I stopped at the big rock formation to layer down and hydrate. I enjoyed a short stretch of boot skiing on the snowfield.
I only passed one hiker on the way back to the trailhead. It seemed like I had the wilderness all to myself. The muddy spots in the trail seemed even muddier in the afternoon. The roundtrip was just under seven hours.
The post-hike meal, of course, was at K's in Buena Vista. The burgers and shakes are straight out of the 1950's. It was a good place to relax and reflect on a great Father's Day hike.

I just bought and installed RH8 and I can't find a way to edit the menu or change the icon and font sizes on the desktop. Where did the Menu Editor go?
I also don't see Terminal (Superuser Mode) or File manager (Superuser Mode) in the Menu. I really liked them.
I also installed Star Office 6.0 and it didn't show up in the menu, even after shutting down X and restarting it. Not even after a reboot.
No multimedia (I understand the reasoning). The only thing I like so far is the font support and clean desktop look.
I am honestly thinking of going back to RH 7.3!
Am I missing something??? ???
KDE? Gnome?Originally Posted by jmbrinks
The GUI menu editor in Gnome 2 was not stable until Gnome 2.0.2. Red Hat 8 is based on 2.0.1. You can probably expect to see it released as an upgrade in the future. Until then you have to manually edit it. AFAIK the KDE menu editor is still there.
SO 6 is not yet aware of the new menu layout used in Gnome 2. I don't have KDE installed. Since I don't have a copy of SO 6...I also installed Star Office 6.0 and it didn't show up in the menu
With the number of MAJOR updates in 8.0, there are going to be "speed bumps" along the way.I am honestly thinking of going back to RH 7.3!

Hello down there in baja oklahoma. Welcome.
The appaloosa was bred by the nez perce indians of the north western united states. They once were a great breed before horse shows. Now some don't even have proper color. But horse shows have bred the brains out of most modern horses. And quarter horses weren't always large. Cow ponies were called that for a reason. Small hearty horses that could work hard and survive on what they found to eat on the trail.
I've heard of joker b but don't know his story. Just know he's famous or I wouldn't know of him.

DENVER (AP) - Colorado House lawmakers are considering a bill to grant illegal immigrants the same tuition rate as legal state residents.
The proposal is expected to reach the governor's desk, and it's already passed the Senate. It's getting its first vote in a House committee on Wednesday.
With the bill, illegal immigrants who graduate from Colorado high schools would be able to attend college at the in-state rate.
They currently have to pay the more expensive out-of-state rate. Lawmakers have tried to pass the bill several times, but it's been blocked in previous years by both parties.
The bill's likely passage highlights a shift in the state. Less than a decade ago, the Democratic-controlled Legislature passed a bill that barred illegal immigrants from receiving any nonemergency state benefits.

Nevada again aims to name Tahoe cove for Twain
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Nevada officials are launching a new bid to give Mark Twain recognition in the state where he assumed his pen name in 1863.
The Nevada State Board on Geographic Names is again pushing a proposal to name a scenic Lake Tahoe cove for Samuel Clemens, Twain's real name.
The state board no longer maintains the cove should be named for Twain because he actually camped there in 1861.
The board's national counterpart rejected the naming effort two years ago, citing doubt about whether Twain camped at the spot as a factor.
Nevada board members now say they want to name the cove for Twain merely because of his association with Tahoe and the lack of a geographic feature in the state named for him.

well that's horrible... &/or ...a LOTTttttttt horrific!"
looks like I ended on a downswing too, blehh.... at least (as I heard someone mention on DonkDown last night) if they were also USAers who won that cashola they're just as unable to get to it as I am the rest of my account, etc.
A couple blogs back, or posts, I don't recall exactly... I mentioned I play smaller online than I do in real life. This was basically why. I'm only out approx. 1K or 2 on the deal frozen between sites... Fvck though, it was how I spent a BUNCH of my time out here in the woods. Probably around 20 to 30 hours a week, sometimes more...especially in the long winter months.
So I've got freetime galore now, gonna use it to clean up the house and poker-den... but that'll probably only take a weekend. Maybe write a book or something after that, eh?
Now the WSOP 2011 suddenly seems all the more exciting, and potentially juicy. Gonna pad the BR as best possible the next month & 1/2, and try to make some moves this year. Amongst the 1000s of others probably thinking similar things... ]:)
Beyond that, really gotta consider WTF I'm doing with my life?! Already have a college degree, but it has yet to really open any big doors so far...
Only thing that's really been keeping me inspired the last few years has been poker. How best to keep that passion alive in this weird era of the game?
Hmmm... viva Las Vegas?? California ca$h games? biggest little city of R3N0, Nv? I'm unsure about me and the E.coast = Foxwoods, M.Sun, et al. & Then there's always O'canada, S.America, and/or Euroville to consider as well...?!!
At any rate, I'll definitely keep y'all updated as this all takes shape and all that jazz.... and as long as Coinflip continues to be up and running, etc.etc.
~Best wishes & G'luck 2 us aLL~

ATLANTA -- Five Georgia men are challenging President Barack Obama's inclusion on next year's presidential ballot, with some arguing the Democrat is not eligible for office because the Constitution says that a president must be a "natural born citizen."
The challenges have been made through the Georgia Office of the Secretary of State.
Two of the men filing the challenges are being represented by Republican state Rep. Mark Hatfield, a Waycross lawyer.
Hatfield says he believes the United States' founders intended not only for presidents to be born in the U.S. but for their parents to also have been U.S. citizens. Obama was born to an American mother and Kenyan father.
The complaints have been referred to the state administrative hearings office.

Idiots in GA take note! He is a 'NATURAL BORN CITIZEN' of THESE UNITED STATES (just 'cause he wasn't born in GA and is as STUPID AS OTHER GEORGIA CITIZENS doesn't give you reason to naysay ANYTHING). All the reasons why you don't want Obama are the SAME REASONS THAT GINGRICH (yet another IDIOT) is making headway in the South....no wonder we're in the mess we're in!
thescot 3 years, 9 months ago
Now that was a well-thought out, articulate statement of fact. Apparently atllaw191 cannot make a coherent statement. It appears that he is saying that "[Obama] is as STUPID AS OTHER GEORGIA CITIZENS," but it really doesn't make sense. The only point made is the person's obvious low opinion of everyone in Georgia. It also looks like atllaw191 is a Georgia citizen, so . . . . I wish we could know which law firm not to call upon.
heresyafacts 3 years, 9 months ago
While I agree with you that this movement is offbase, you should reevaluate your assertion that Gingrich is "another idiot". I do not expect anyone to agree with any candidate 100%, but if you cannot find any merit in anything he has said, then I suggest your opinion is just as, if not more, biased than those you attack in this post. Btw: re: "is as stupid as other Georgia citizens"? The "atllaw" leads me to believe that you are both a Georgia resident and somehow affiliated with the legal profession, but your comments indicate otherwise.

What a waste of time. What makes him ineligible is the fact that he's a socialist! Drop the whole Kenya thing. It just showcases your stupidity. There are so many legitimate things to go after this guy for. Why do we waste our time on this stupid stuff?
dasani 3 years, 9 months ago
Do you really know what socialism is or are you click and weak minded so much so that you just say what your peers say? Do you grow your own food? If you go to a grociers and all the vegetables or meats are set out and priced for everyone to buy then you have a social system of feeding the masses. Do you pay taxes from your paycheck? If so then you are a part of a social tax system that requires you to pay the same as everyone else based upon a tax scale; you are a part of a social tax system over the population.
What I am saying is you cannot have a society without some social function operating in it. You Right Wing idiots are fools and bigots that are a part of a socialist Bigotry society; Dummys
thescot 3 years, 9 months ago
You obviously have no idea what you are trying to talk about. Your examples are not examples of socialism; they are examples of capitalism and taxes. A socail function is not socialism. Instead of demonstrating your ignorance for all to see-and then calling anyone who doesn't support Obama a right wing idiot is to dispaly your gross lack of knowledge. It scares me that people like you vote.
drfunguy 3 years, 9 months ago
Sorry. You are not very supportive of democracy are you? Socialists are eligible to run for President of the US as long as they are natural born citizens over 35 years of age. Even if Obama were a socialist (which he is not by any stretch) he would be eligible. Perhaps you are unaware, but the socialist party has been running presidential candidates for close to a century. Eugene Debs got almost a million votes on the socialist ticket in 1920 I believe.
Rob 3 years, 9 months ago
@atllaw191 I agree with you about Gingrich. It's as if we've learned NOTHING these last 3 years. It's almost as if the whole country both Left and Right wants a giant government nanny state. The lack of political knowledge and education of our voters is memorizing. If these folks want 4 more years of out of control government? Then I guess Gingrich is their man. Obama will go down in history as the worst president ever.....even topping Carter's failures. And people are turning to Gingrich to get us out of this. Good grief!
heresyafacts 3 years, 9 months ago
Agree about Obama. As Chas. Krauthammer said, Obama "is a great orator. He came out of nowhere. He dazzled America. He had never run anything. He never actually enacted anything even in the legislature. He hadn't run a state. He hadn't run a city. He hadn't run a business. He is running the biggest enterprise in the world and he has not succeeded. And that is why all of these independents, all of those who believed in a soaring rhetoric, including probably a couple who swooned in the aisles as he spoke in 2008, are now waking up and realizing he is a mortal who is in over his head."
davidfarrar 3 years, 9 months ago
As one of the five Georgians now challenging Obama's access to the Georgia ballot, I can tell you one of the biggest reasons I am presenting such a challenge is because Obama has not shown the pride in his office to address these questions about his eligibility himself.
To date I have not been able to find one cross-corroborating facts that would substantiate any of Obama's birth information presented on his two birth certificates.
What I have been able to find is that there is a material error of fact that is present on both of Obama's birth documents, "certified" by Hawaiian state officials to be error free.
Since there is an error in Obama's two birth certificates, the prima facie information printed on his two birth certificates can no longer be relied upon as the lone source to "prove" Obama has met his US Constitutional qualifications. In order to "prove" Mr. Obama is qualified, he needs to produce corroborating evidence that will support his birth certificate information. Generally, this is done by simply going to his hospital records, as Donald Trump did inside of a week's time. Thus far Obama has simply failed to prove he is qualified to take the office of the presidency.
As I state on my website at: http://georgiavoices.blogspot.com, "I have to go to this court because Obama doesn't have the honor, nor the public pride in the office of President, to ask the Supreme Court (not Congress, not the voters, not the consensus of legal opinion) for a declaratory judgment in resolving these doubts before the next election in 2012 himself."

This is just off the top of my head, but if I recall, Andrew Jackson had TWO immigrant parents (Irish), Thomas Jefferson's Mom was English, and Herbert Hoover's mom was from Canada. These facts (Google them yourself) tell me that these men bringing this challenge & their lawyer are incredibly misinformed. This is obvious judging by the glaring factual errors on Mr. Farrar's website. And these are the suppositions which make up the base arguments for this challenge! A Google search easily tells you that there are more than two presidents with foreign-born parents. This is a gigantic waste of time. I don't know why no one at the paper or in these comments has yet pointed out that there are several other US presidents who had at least one foreign-born parent. It's a disservice to readers to present the details of this challenge as if they were correct.
davidfarrar 3 years, 9 months ago
Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson used the grandfather clause contained in Art II to qualify. Herbert Hoover's mom gained her US Citizenship at the time of her marriage to Herbert, as allowed by the US Immigration laws at the time.

By these 5 idiots arguments, George Washington could not have been the president either nor many of the other early presidents as there were no citizens before the country was founded and hence, their parents could not have been citizens either. In less than one more year, the House and Senate will be back in the hands of people with a brain and I'm not referring to Republicans or their Tea Party ilk.

I don't care where he was born. IMHO I do not feel that he has help up to any of his campaign promises, and has certainly taken part in attempting to remove our freedoms. I do not feel that he has done a good enough job to warrant a second term. Our current government is attempting to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights, and he has not protected the citizen's best interests, nor has the Senator's that signed and approved of the NDAA or any other bill that attempts to thwart the Constitutional Amendments 1 - 10.

Senator John McCain was NOT born in the United States. If McCain had won the election in 2008, would these same idiots be challenging his right to be President of the United States? I seriously doubt it.
davidfarrar 3 years, 9 months ago
Yes, of course.
I have also opposed Mitt Romney on the same grounds. He isn't a natural born Citizen, the evidence would suggest. Marco Rubio, Susan Martenez - Governor of New Mexico - are not A2S1C5 nbC either. The same goes for Gov. Jindal - Governor of Louisiana, Gov. Sandoval - Governor of Nevada, and Gov. Randhawa Haley, Governor of South Carolina --
Mgbtv 3 years, 9 months ago
The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. The Congressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship "at birth" or "by birth," including any child born "in" the United States (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.
Get over it and accept you have a great President.
davidfarrar 3 years, 9 months ago
The point being "natural born", or "native born": those being born within the jurisdiction of parents, grandparents, et cetera, who were themselves citizens. People who are simply born here of alien parents, may be US citizens at birth, but they are not "native born"...they are not a "stronger" check against foreign influence as opposed to a "native" or "natural born" Citizen, and are therefor unconstitutional.

Hey David and Co. Lemme clue you in on a ilttle secret. NONE of the Founding Fathers had parents who were U.S. citizens? That would be "none." Nada. Zip. Zero. So how can you and your Snuffy Smith wanna-bes sitting around the cracker barrel contributing nothing but carbon dioxide to society come up with the notion that our Founders intended for both parents to be citizens?
Here's a suggestion. Mute the Fox News, turn off Limbaugh and pick up a history book. You might actually learn something productive.
Rob, that goes for you too, although I'd add a dictionary as well. Turn to the "S" page and look up "socialism." If you still think that applies to Obama, well, then you're as ignorant as these five yahoos.

I was part of the group who were the founding members of the Young Republicans in the 1960's. We knew Newt back then. No one said he wasn't smart, we just said he could not be trusted. His specialty was to make back room deals with both of two opposing groups and then play a game of "Hey, lets you and him fight". We know Newt was out only for Newt's view of what was best for his own advancement.

Gee whiz...everyone needs to just calm down...Georgia is only doing what the rest of America forgot to do in 2008...ascertain if the presidential candidate was legal. That shouldn't be too hard to understand as the current crop of candidates undergo anal exams from the mainstream/liberal media...and, each other.

@ Elmo. It was done. Prior to 2008. How anyone can possibly believe that he was not fully vetted and something as simple as this was overlooked. Get over it. Disagree with the man because of his policies, don't try to make it into something it is not. Geez

Buzz: It Could Be A Detroit and Winnipeg Division Swap
On TSN's Insider Trading Show last night, Bob McKenzie says that the NHL could do an easy swap of Winnipeg for Detroit and solve the realignment problem that way.
More on this and other solutions at Puck Daddy.
Why would Detroit play in the South East conference? This seems like taking the easy way out and avoiding what would help other teams as well. I really hope that we get the dramatic realignment that has been mentioned before. That seemed cool.

Following on from Multicultural Horizons, my current research focuses on the British naturalisation process as a site of 'citizenship-in-the-making'. The distinctive character of this study is its focus on the experiences of applicants and non-applicants (ESOL teachers/providers; Council registrars; ceremony officials; etc). The study draws on original ethnographic material to explore the making of citizenship: it traces the work, processes, documentation, artefacts, storing, educational and other practices involved in 'making citizens', while it also attends to the 'lived experience' of naturalisation from the perspective of a range of subject positions. In short, the study approaches naturalisation through material, cognitive (learnt), performative, and affective practices. The research is funded by the British Academy (Small Grants).

Irene McCormack Jackson wants $1.5 million from city for pain, suffering
SAN DIEGO - Irene McCormack Jackson wants roughly $1.5 million for her suffering from sexual harassment by former mayor Bob Filner, according to court filings reviewed by Team 10 on Friday morning.
For emotional distress, pain and suffering, the amount requested is $950,000. The approximate cost of the treatment for emotional injuries cost $70,000, said the filing. Loss of earnings is $11,000 and the estimated future loss of earnings is estimated to be approximately $450,000, said court documents.
Attorney Gloria Allred represents McCormack Jackson and could not immediately be reached for comment.
McCormack Jackson was the former communications director in Filner's administration and was the first to publicly accuse the former mayor of sexual harassment.
TEAM 10 CONTINUING COVERAGE - Mayor Filner Under Fire: http://bit.ly/1biL1bF
McCormack Jackson alleges Filner told her she should work without her panties on, that he wanted to see her naked and that he could not wait to consummate their relationship. Filner also allegedly demanded kisses from McCormack Jackson and put his arm around her and dragged her along in a headlock while making sexual remarks.
She still holds a position with the city.
Team 10 first reported Allred would ask for $1.5 million for her client on Aug. 23, just before Filner resigned.
As part of the resignation deal, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith will represent Filner.
A hearing is scheduled for January.

Making Law School More Affordable—Philip Schrag '67
With diploma in hand, a law school graduate embarks into the workplace with the strong desire to serve the public interest, to help those less fortunate perhaps by working with Legal Aid or at a public defender's office—to make a difference. But all too often, those dreams go unfulfilled as the burden of thousands of dollars of law school debt forces graduates into more lucrative private sector jobs just to make ends meet and to avoid facing a lifetime of loan payments.
Philip Schrag '67, professor of law and director of the Center for Applied Legal Studies and the Public Interest Law Scholars Program at Georgetown University Law Center, has spent years trying to help these graduates overcome the limitations that law school loans are placing on their career options.
"An important minority of law school applicants choose to obtain a legal education because they see it as a way to perform a lifetime of public service to those in need, or to work for social change," Schrag says. "But too often, their debt forces them into large law firms that primarily serve wealthy individuals and corporations."
Schrag's tireless efforts have been realized in the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. Signed into law by President Bush, the law enables graduates to enter public service fields while forgiving tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Schrag advocated for a federal forgiveness program in his role as Vice-Chair of the Committee on Government Relations and Student Financial Aid of the American Bar Association's Section of Legal Education, as well as in his 2002 book, Repay as You Earn.
A detailed explanation of how the program works can be found in Schrag's Hofstra Law Review article at: www.law.georgetown.edu/news/releases/documents/Forgiveness.pdf.
"The law caps a borrower's annual repayment obligation at about 11 percent of gross income," Schrag explained. "The unpaid interest is added to principal, but if a borrower works for ten years for a government or a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the government will forgive all remaining principal and interest."
The program will not only benefit lawyers, but also college graduates, doctors, teachers, nurses, social workers, members of the military, and others.
The average graduate of a private law school enters the workforce with more than $85,000 of debt. Many law schools have programs that help former students pay off loans if they take public-interest jobs.
Yale Law School pioneered a loan repayment assistance program that allows alumni to take relatively low-paying jobs in any sector, including nonprofit organizations, public interest, government, academia, and small firms. Established in 1989, COAP (Career Options Assistance Program) was one of the first loan forgiveness programs of its kind. Since its inception, it has served as a model for similar programs at law schools across the country.

Talk about an ill-timed photo-op!
Days before Fergie announced her pregnancy, she hosted a wine event in Los Angeles.
With a bottle and glass of vino in her hands, the Black Eyed Pea posed for photos at The Wine House during a signing of her new line of home-grown wines.
The singer created the Ferguson Crest line with her father, Pat Ferguson, who was also at the event.
Though she happily took photos with the product, we hear she wasn't actually drinking any of it. That's a relief!
At the event Ferg hid all signs of a baby bump by wearing a loose-fitting dress and a scarf over her belly. Check out more photos in the gallery above.

text: Here's Johnny! Viewers can relive some of the funniest moments from "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" in this showcase of the best material from the first 20 years of the legendary late-night television program. Narrated by Carson's longtime second banana, Ed McMahon, each episode features classic recurring skits ("The Edge of Wetness," "Stump the Band," etc.), a plethora of Hollywood guest stars, and memorable characters such as "Tea Time Movie" announcer Art Fern, feisty senior citizen Aunt Blabby, and turban-wearing psychic Carnac the Magnificent. Carson fans will savor the trip down memory lane, while those unfamiliar with the iconic talk-show host will discover the genius that made him an American institution.

Ken Stern is the chief executive of Palisades Media Ventures and a former chief executive of National Public Radio. His book "With Charity for All: Why Charities Are Failing and a Better Way to Give," will be published in February.
The last few days of the year may be a time of celebration and indulgence, but it is also when many people think about helping others. Though much of the roughly $240 billion in individual charitable contributions comes in December, these donations are often made hastily, based on poor information. Before writing those end-of-the-year checks, here are some things to remember about how charities work and how to evaluate them.
1. Charities are principally dedicated to serving the poor and needy.
The term "charity" is associated with helping the poor and downtrodden, but American charities — 1.1 million organizations with $1.5 trillion in annual revenue — make up a large, rapidly growing economic sector that includes health care, higher education, scientific research, social services and the arts. There is incredible diversity among charities, from tiny neighborhood food banks to multi-state hospital chains boasting lavish concierge services and million-dollar salaries for executives. In fact, hospitals are the largest component of the U.S. charitable sector, but they are more likely to be profitable than for-profit hospitals and aren't much more likely to serve the needy.

Egyptian PM in Ethiopia for Nile talks
Addis Ababa (AFP) May 13, 2011
Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf was in Ethiopia for an official visit Friday, devoted mainly to talks on sharing the waters of the Nile, an issue at the centre of high tensions between the two countries.
Sharaf, who arrived in Addis Ababa on Thursday, had a meeting behind closed doors for several hours with his Ethiopian counterpart, Meles Zenawi, an AFP journalist witnessed.
"Ethiopia has already frozen ratification of a treaty on sharing Nile River water until a new Egyptian government takes office and joins the negotiations," Meles said at the close of talks.
"So we would wait for Egyptians until they elect their new government and the new government takes office to join the negotiations."
Countries that share the Nile River basin have demanded the revision of colonial-era agreements that allot the bulk of the river's water to Egypt and Sudan and allow Cairo to veto upstream projects.
Egypt does not recognise an agreement between other basin countries that revised the treaties, but the government that replaced ousted president Hosni Mubarak in February has shown interest in resolving the dispute.
The revised agreement, signed by Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, seeks to allow irrigation and hydroelectric projects to go ahead without Cairo's consent.
Sharaf heads a large delegation including the foreign and electricity ministers on a visit that started in Uganda and has been billed "historic" by Cairo.
Ethiopia has taken the lead in the campaign against Egypt, for whom the Nile is just about its only source of water.
Zenawi said the delay in the treaty ratification "does not mean that Ethiopia will stop its construction of the (Gibe) dam".

Cycling and Walking in Road shoes
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
I'm about to purchase my first pair of clipless shoes but I'm unsure what to go for...
do I go all out & buy a pair of road shoes or do i compromise & buy MTB style shoes...
I'm looking at the Giro Trans road shoe http://www.evanscycles.com/products/giro/trans-road-shoes-ec039197
or the Vittoria 1976 http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/posts/470
but as I don't have the cycling & walking experience I'm not sure what is best for me.
I currently commute to work & have to walk about 10m or so either end...
hoep you guys can shed some light.
For sheer practicality I'd go for the Giro Trans. 10 metres walking isn't going to impact on your choice, but i think the Giro are probably going to suit your commuting needs.
However it may depend on what you ride...if you like 'traditional' gear then the Vittoria would be the obvious choice???

check your shoes can take the cleat that your pedal
uses ... some won't accept 2 bolt mtb cleats and mtb
shoes normally won't accpet the 3 (or 4) bolt road cleats.
still on the 3rd switch-back of Bwlch !

How about going for the road shoes (three hole cleats) and use rubber cleat covers at either end of your cycle commute.
I say this because I had a pair of "touring" shoes where the two bolt cleat was recessed into the tread but the tread was of such a soft compound it wasn't long before I was click clacking down the road which also ruined the cleat. A rather expensive lesson was learnt.

"10m at the end of the ride"
Sounds a bit like me.
I normally just take my shoes/socks off and walk barefoot into work.
It might look a bit strange to some co-workers but also they might think that of the rest of my gear too.
Doesn't bother me.

Thanks for the help & comments guys.
I think I'm gonna go for the Giro's.
I would like to take cycling up as my main hobby so I will invest in one pair of shoes & buy the cleat covers aswell rather than have MTB on my commute bike & road cleats on my 'race' bike.

Showtime has a sort of established practice of putting up the first one or two episodes of their shows on YouTube every season. And…they did it with Homeland last night, lest you were unavailable to watch it, and forgot that DVR exists.
Nonetheless, it's out there, it takes another surprising turn, and it looks like the dynamic between Brody and Carrie has once again been turned on his head.
I'd say more, but then what would be the point of watching this episode that Showtime was nice enough to give to us for free?
Consider posting a comment.

White Rock residents gathered Wednesday for the fourth Community Forum on a redevelopment plan for White Rock's commercial core. The plan is funded by the Los Alamos County Council, which has also promised to fund projects to draw more private investment to the suburb where one-third of county residents live.The turnout in White Rock Town Hall was somewhat smaller than the previous three meetings, which saw as many as 80 residents in the White Rock Fire Station. The substance of the plan was generated at those previous meetings, but consultants Moore Iacofano Goitsman (MIG) are still collecting both input and feedback from residents."We're in the home stretch with this plan," Chris Beynon of MIG said in his introduction. "This plan continues to reflect your desires as a community."Two community charrettes held in December resulted in a consensus to create a center of gravity for development at the corner of Sherwood Boulevard and N.M. 4, with a safe intersection that would lead to new construction on the A-19 parcel."We looked at projects that might energize or catalyze development," said Dan Guimond, the principal of Economic and Planning Systems (EPS).Guimond has worked in the county previously, preparing the initial market study for development of the A-19 parcels in addition to other projects.

Anything By Bike . . .
I think, perhaps, I might have crossed the "just because you can, it doesn't mean you should" line this weekend:
Had a slow leak in a car tire, so decided to swap out the spare while I had it repaired over the weekend. As I was about load it into the trunk and drive it over, M. pops her head out and says "Hey, you could put that in the bike trailer!"
Yep. Sure could.
The guys at Goodyear were amused.

About this Artist
Rachel Miller
Spirit Ironworks is a collaboration between siblings/blacksmiths Rachel Miller and Timothy Miller.
Rachel Miller
"Creativity and pursuing your passion had always been in our family. From a very young age I was always drawing and doing crafts projects. So when it came time to choose a career path it was only natural to study art. I originally went to the University of the Arts with the intention of studying illustration. But a ten-minute welding demonstration led to a not so minor obsession with metal. Most of my time from that moment forward was spent in the metal shop welding together steel sculpture. As a blacksmith I am fascinated by functional objects, as an artist I respond to natural form, so it seemed fitting to combine the two. Presently this is the focus of my work: creating objects that are beautiful as well as functional. Artwork that is useful as well as collectible."
Timothy Miller
"My first exposure to blacksmithing was at the age of eleven. At our village blacksmith shop I saw a smith working. The red hot shards made by the blacksmith were forever emblazoned in my memory. A seed was planted. At the age of eighteen Rachel and I obtained permission to work in that same shop. Little did I know that that early collaboration would lead to a much more significant one years later. In 1999 I set up my own forge and began taking on a wide range of work. My shop grew and soon it was apparent that this was growing beyond me. In 2003 my sister and I formed Spirit Ironworks. Our collaboration has lead to much diversity in our work, along with increased quality. As far as I can see the sky is the limit. I can't wait to see what comes next."
