Stringent Hiring Rules Leave Treasury in Need of Staff
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration's tough rules about who it will hire and its increasingly rigorous vetting process are complicating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's team-building efforts, government officials say, at a time when his agency faces a punishing workload brought on by the worst financial crisis in decades.
The delay leaves Mr. Geithner without many chief lieutenants while the Treasury is spending hundreds of billions of dollars to try to blunt the financial crisis -- and hustling to stay abreast of unfolding events. Mr. Geithner himself is taking on a bigger workload and relying on a skeleton crew of advisers, including some holdovers from former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's staff.
As a result, the agency has had only limited communication with Wall Street about the most effective ways to structure the government's bailout plan and maximize lender and investor participation. Mr. Geithner's unveiling of his plan to address the crisis in banking was widely criticized for being shy on details, a problem in part caused by an overstretched team simultaneously grappling with a bailout for homeowners, a giant stimulus package and calls from Detroit auto makers for more aid.
The hiring pace at the Treasury is somewhat slow by historical standards. The Bush administration nominated several Treasury officials to serve under Paul O'Neill in February 2001, though Congress didn't confirm most until much later in the year.
While Mr. Geithner actually has more troops on hand than many agencies -- most others also lack top deputies, or even secretaries -- it is an especially trying time for the Treasury, given the economy's fragile state and Mr. Geithner's pledge to move quickly and forcefully to confront problems.
Treasury spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said Friday, "The Obama administration has taken an unprecedented level of action toward economic recovery in a very short period of time....There's a significant amount of work being done, regardless of the normal personnel hurdles that happen during a transition in government."
After a series of tax-payment issues, which derailed Tom Daschle's nomination to run the Health and Human Services Department and hurt Mr. Geithner as well, the Obama administration has ratcheted up its scrutiny of potential nominees. Lawyers are poring over several years of potential Treasury appointees' tax returns and other financial and personal information, such as the legal status of household help.
President Barack Obama also curtailed the ability of lobbyists to work in the administration. The Treasury wants to avoid hiring anyone with ties to a bank that received bailout aid.
The tough rules scuttled the agency's hiring of at least one top official. The appointment of John Molot, a well-respected Georgetown University law professor, was undone by his personal financial interests, according to people familiar with the matter. The exact problem couldn't be learned, and Mr. Molot didn't return a call seeking comment.
Mr. Geithner has identified several people he would like to serve in top posts, and the nominations could be announced soon. Several are already working for Mr. Geithner in an advisory role, but many haven't yet come on board, including those expected to be tapped for the key posts of deputy Treasury secretary and undersecretary for international affairs.
Among those Mr. Geithner has brought on board in a counselor role are Alan Krueger, who is expected to be chosen as assistant secretary for economic policy; Lee Sachs, who is expected to serve as undersecretary for domestic finance; and Mark Patterson, who will be nominated as Mr. Geithner's chief of staff.
Mr. Geithner is also relying on a crew of Paulson holdovers, including Seth Wheeler, who helped craft the recently unveiled housing plan; Neel Kashkari, who heads the office running the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program; James Lambright, the TARP chief investment officer; and Steven Shafran, an adviser on financial issues.
"There is a need to get staffed up," said Scott Talbott, senior vice president for government affairs at the Financial Services Roundtable. In particular, many banks say they haven't been able to get answers from Treasury about how new executive-compensation limits will apply to banks that get government aid.
C. Fred Bergsten, a former Treasury official who is director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the lack of a staff is a particular problem for the Treasury with the approach of the Group of 20 industrial and developing countries meeting in London April 2.
"We all know this is a global economic crisis, the response has to be global, the relations for the G-20 summit are proceeding full blast, and the Treasury does not have its international team in place," Mr. Bergsten said. "I have met personally with the top British officials organizing the summit. They are eagerly looking for cooperation from U.S. officials, but they couldn't really get anything until very recently."

Jul 16 - 3 teens accused in fatal beating of 62-year-old Chicago man posted on Facebook

Chicago: Black Thugs beat 62-year-old Father of 12 to death and post video of murder on Facebook - YouTube
[pic - click to view]
Three teenagers have been charged with murder after a 62-year-old father-of-twelve was beaten to death and video footage of his k!lling then posted on Facebook.
Delfino Mora was found unconscious in an alley in Chicago, Illinois, last Tuesday morning. He died in hospital the next day as a result of blunt head trauma.
Malik Jones, 16, Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, have each been charged with first-degree murder and robbery.
Police claim that Ayala and Malcolm took turns using a mobile phone to record the fatal a.ssault on Mr Mora, who didn't have full use of his right arm after a workplace accident 15 years ago.
The footage was then uploaded to Jones' Facebook account, it is claimed.
Jones, a suspected gang member who is being charged as an adult, appeared in court yesterday and was ordered to be held without bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for later today.
While prosecutors did not identify his two accomplices by name, they detailed how the attack allegedly took place.
Jones is said to have have handed his phone to his co-defendants and then approached Mr Mora in an alley in the Des Plaines area of the city at around 5am last Tuesday.
He ordered his victim to empty his pockets and then punched him in the jaw, prosecutors said. Mr Mora fell and hit his head on concrete.
Jones told police he had hit Mr Mora, who is originally from Mexico, the court was told.
A passer-by found Mr Mora with blood on his face and vomit next to his head about three hours later.
The attack was recorded on Jones' mobile phone and the footage was placed on his Facebook account.
A witness who knows Jones watched the video and passed it on. It eventually reached a co-worker of Mr Mora's son, who called the police.
Jones was arrested on Saturday, while Ayala and Malcolm were apprehended yesterday and are due in court for an initial hearing later today.
Mr Mora's youngest child Angelica, 17, told the Chicago Tribune: 'It feels to us like they're making fun of my dad because he couldn't defend himself.
'They think posting a violent video makes them tough. It's like they want to get famous.'
Mr Mora was father to six girls and six boys, who range in age from 17 to 40, and was also a grandfather.
The family is planning to take his body back to Mexico to be buried later this week.

Mora's family says the father of 12 was disabled because of a workplace injury and was in the alley collecting aluminum cans to earn money for his family.

What I want to know is if they're going to do anything for Wii owners to get the Lego RB songs into RB2, or if they are going to make us disc swap like we have to for the RB1 songs. I'm even willing to pay a higher per-song cost if some of those are in the Rock band store.

Bottom Line
McAfee Total Protection 2013 includes every feature found in McAfee Internet Security 2013, plus some bonuses that would cost quite a bit more if purchased separately.

Invicta crowns their first ever featherweight champion this weekend, as former Strikeforce title holder Cris "Cyborg" Santos faces Marloes Coenen in the headline fight for the company's first pay-per-view effort.
The two fought in 2010, with Cyborg getting a second round stoppage, but Coenen is planning a different ending this time.
"When I was fighting her the first time I wasn't doing much of a strength and conditioning program," said Coenen. "Even last year, I was doing it on and off. Now I've really done a lot of strength training. I really feel the difference. I recover faster and I'm way more stronger than I used to be. I think it will be an interesting fight."
Comparisons with Ronda Rousey are inevitable.
"Quite frankly, if you fight Ronda I know you get a lot of publicity, she'll talk smack or whatever. But to me, on a sporting level, it's way more exciting to fight Cyborg."
"Ronda, if you fight her, it's really good for your PR, you'll get more followers on Twitter, but as an athlete it's way more interesting to fight Cyborg."
"Ronda's an amazing grappler and she's doing great in the media. MMA isn't only about fighting, unfortunately. It's about who wants to see your fight and who is willing to buy the pay-per-view and buy a ticket and come over. With a big mouth she has done an amazing job."
"I don't want to take anything away from Ronda. She's beat up everyone that has been a champion of Strikeforce, and she did it in an amazing way. But the thing is, I think she's too one-dimensional and somebody will pop up and punch her hard in the face and I really want to see what's happening then."

People always seem to get this crap wrong.Prior to Cyborg getting popped for PEDs, Ronda said she would eventually like to fight Cyborg. She made the decision to drop to 135lbs after the Julia Budd fight based on the idea of an eventual title unification match between the weights.Cyborg got suspended and the 145lb division and title were dissolved because the only thing keeping them there at the time was her.Later it was in the build up to the Kaufman fight, while Cyborg was still under suspension, that Cyborg called out Ronda for a fight in the parking lot after her fight with Kaufman. Only then did Ronda make the rebuttle challenge by calling out Cyborg in her post-fight promo.And again as I have said just a few posts above this, proponents of WMMA should give Ronda less crap about fighting at 135lbs. From what I gather 135 has a deeper talent pool than that of 145, which negated Dana's criticism of WMMA and ultimately is the reason why WMMA is currently in the UFC. Plus I think 135 is Ronda's optimum weight, she is faster and in better shape without that extra weight on.
7/12/13 12:29 PM by BTT-RyannVonDoom
Who fought at 145 in strikeforce who was talking shit and calling out cyborg.. Yep. Dont let facts get in the way.
7/12/13 11:26 AM by PhallicObjekt
Glad to see some people know who the number 1 wmma fighter is.Ronda is a good 135 uf champ. Too bad she will always be in cyborgs shadow.
7/11/13 9:23 PM by JJLong
Marloes is doing what she should be doing. She is building up her own fight. She isn't going to say that the Rousey fight is more interesting right now because Rousey isn't her opponent.If Rousey was her current opponent, then I guarantee her tune would be very different.It is all part of the fight promotion game, make your own fight seem like the most important. Build up your opponent as a killer, that way when you have beaten them, you beat a killer.And one more thing about Rousey. People complain about her fighting at 135 and wanting the Cyborg fight. Rousey's decision to fight at 135lbs is probably one of the most significant decisions in the advancement of Women's MMA.Dana White's big complaint about WMMA was its lack of depth and that complaint applied greatly to the 145lb division. Rousey moving down to 135lbs drew the attention of the decision makers in UFC to the 135lb division, showing that it was a division that had depth and with Rousey as the star of that division, it was something worth showcasing within the UFC and in a mainstream fashion.Rousey was not content like Cyborg or even Gina to fight at 145lbs and have other girls from lighter weights come up to fight her. She dropped down into a the deeper division.As far as I am concerned, Rousey did more for Women's MMA in one year than Cyborg did in her entire career. And that is not based simply on aesthetic as some people want to point out. I believe Gina was better looking and more marketable than Rousey and yet the UFC didn't sign her.Dana had his chance to invest in Gina when EliteXC folded and he didn't. And I don't want to hear about the fact that Dana was interested in her. Of course he was, she was a star, but his interest obviously didn't go far enough or else she would have been in the UFC. If Dana was interested enough, Gina vs Cyborg would have taken place in the UFC because they would have outbid any other company. But the depth issue was there at the time, which again, Rousey dropping down in weight negated that.And whether people like it or not, the success of Rousey has also led to greater interest in WMMA as a whole. I do not think that there would be as much interest in Invicta as there is if Rousey hadn't broken out as a star.
7/11/13 9:05 PM by Bentleysuper8
Because she was huge. When you are fighting and making weight every other week it would be insane to stay at 135. Ask any fighter if they could maintain their fighting weight for months on end for a tournament circuit. And by the way, why is Ronda the only one who isn't allowed to drop large amounts of weight to fight? It basically standard practice. So to hold Rousey to another standard does not make sense.Anyway, this thread is about Marloes not wanting to get arm barred.
7/11/13 9:00 PM by Ten eight round
That's why everything around him smells fishy
7/11/13 8:50 PM by man meets fate
Hell, gina could hardly ever make 145.
7/11/13 8:49 PM by man meets fate
Dolce also said he could get jones to 185 and gsp to 155. Getting there and performing to best of your abilities are two different things. Why can't rousey fight her at the weight she has been at the majority of her combat career?

Monday, Dec 10 @ 11am PT #infosec #cloud
It's not surprising or new that cloud security remains a top concern for many organizations. For some time, purveyors of security studies have asked the market, "What's stopping you from adopting cloud?" Invariably one of the most often cited show-stoppers is "security." But how has the security landscape changed within the cloud over the past few years, and are there special tools everyone in IT needs to be equipped with to keep their organization's information safe? Will the cloud mature to the point that essential security applications can be replicated in cloud and if so, when?
I will be moderating a #CloudChat on security December 10, at 11 am PST, where we will discuss these questions and much more on cloud security. To participate, simply follow the hashtag #CloudChat. We have an expert panel that will be leading the conversation including Wendy Nather, Pat O'Day, Kai Roer and Josh Michaels. Please find bios for each participant below the fold.
We look forward to a great conversation and hope you can join us!

With all the incredible momentum behind the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, it is easy to forget that not a single CEO wakes up and wonders if "my IoT is broken." What they wonder is if they are making the right decisions to do all they can to increase revenue, decrease costs, and improve customer experience – effectively the same challenges they have always had in growing their business. The exciting thing about the IoT industry is now these decisions can be better, faster, and smarter. Now all corporate assets – people, objects, and spaces – can share information about themselves and thei...

Two weeks ago (November 3-5), I attended the Cloud Expo Silicon Valley as a speaker, where I presented on the security and privacy due diligence requirements for cloud solutions. Cloud security is a topical issue for every CIO, CISO, and technology buyer. Decision-makers are always looking for insights on how to mitigate the security risks of implementing and using cloud solutions. Based on the presentation topics covered at the conference, as well as the general discussions heard between sessions, I wanted to share some of my observations on emerging trends.

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Yet a closer inspection at the data reveals less than half of these cloud projects involve production...

Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

CNN report: Firms that broke the law still get stimulus money
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On February 4, 2010 @ 7:40 pm In Economics,News & Analysis | No Comments
The federal stimulus program is funding roadway construction in many Massachusetts towns.
But more than one-half of the companies that have received taxpayer dollars to perform the work have a history of breaking the law.
According to an investigation by Boston University's New England Center for Investigative Reporting, more than half the companies given stimulus contracts have histories of defrauding taxpayers, CNN reports [1].
Using funds from the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Massachusetts Highway Division has awarded nearly $54 million in contracts for highway improvements, according to the CNN report.
Saugus, Mass.-based Aggregate Industries Northeast Inc. — one of the largest producers of aggregate, asphalt and ready-mixed concrete in New England — was awarded two stimulus contracts totaling $8.9 million for roadwork in the state, according to the report.
But CNN reports that the company has a record of misconduct, and six of its former managers pleaded guilty or were convicted of defrauding the government in the "Big Dig" project.

The Nation's Pulse
Newspaper Days
Twenty years in the weekly newspaper trade.
A good deal of my life has been spent toiling on weekly newspapers. That was certainly not my intention. My intention was to be an all-star centerfielder for the Oakland Athletics. But as the old proverb goes, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans."
It would be easy to say that weeklies, like everything else, ain't what they used to be. But I recently stopped by my old newspaper office (a trailer, actually, where the restroom doubled as the darkroom), and…well, everything was the same, including the Macintosh LC computers and the dial-up Internet connection. The ownership, however, had changed. Countless times. Once all weeklies were family-owned enterprises. Then, about twenty years ago, large corporations began buying them up on the cheap. Now nobody wants them. At least two of the weeklies I worked for no longer exist.
My first newspaper gig was at a family-owned business deep in the Ozarks. The Advertiser was founded in the 1850s, and had been handed down from father to son for several generations. Every Wednesday at 3 p.m., the townsfolk would line up at the front counter waiting for the paper to come off the press. The queue would literally run out the door and down the sidewalk. I couldn't understand it. Why would anyone line up to read front page stories headlined: "Jasper among top coon hunters in state," or to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Albert Freen had company last week from out-of-town? It turns out people are just nosey.
My first reporter job, back in 1986, paid an annual salary of $14,000. Today's weekly cub reporters might earn a lavish $21,000, which is probably less than I made in '86, given the cost of living. Journalism remains the lowest-paying of all of the so-called professions, which is something smart journalism school professors neglect to mention on the first day of class. Even rookie kindergarten teachers and social workers make double or triple the average reporter's salary. And yet, J-schools continue to turn away students.
Twenty years in the weekly newspaper trade has supplied me with more than a few cocktail party stories. There was the story we ran of country music legend and one-time death row inmate David Allan Coe when he moved onto a ranch just outside of our village, with his pet cougars and his motorcycle gang, Outlaws MC, as semi-permanent houseguests. Locals regarded DAC's presence as a mixed blessing, to say the least. Coe stayed about a year before he up and left town, long enough to open a museum of curiosities, and to give a memorable and impromptu late-night solo performance at the Hitchin' Post saloon, where he recounted a tale of teaching the young Charles Manson to play guitar. Then there was the time we ran an investigative piece charging village officials with violating the open meetings act, and the mayor ordered his employees to drive around town and collect all of that week's newspapers. We found them a day later dumped in a huge, stinking pile on the outskirts of town. They had been urinated on, too.
MEDIA EXPERTS say that struggling daily newspapers can learn smart business practices from weeklies. What they mean is that dailies should concentrate on the essentials: move the international news, crossword puzzles, comics, syndicated columnists, TV listings and movie reviews online, and limit the print edition to obituaries, sports, and lots and lots of photographs of school kids. And beef up the local news.
The problem with this, again, is that weeklies aren't doing so well either. At least not the corporate-owned weeklies. Those that are getting by are often run by laid off or semi-retired daily journalists who buy a love-starved weekly and attempt to nurse it back to financial health. Often the new owners are husband and wife teams who make up the entire staff and do everything from selling ads to writing stories to delivering papers. If this happy trend continues, we may yet see the return of the family-owned newspaper.
If not, perhaps some good will come out of the demise of local news. Curious townsfolk may be forced to attend town council and school board meetings to find out for themselves what shenanigans their elected officials are up to. We may have to turn off the big screen TV and get involved in our communities. We may have to attend a Friday night football game, rather than read "all about it" next Wednesday. Henry David Thoreau believed the town meeting would be the salvation of the republic:
When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.
If that sounds like too much work and too much investment, you might consider buying a subscription to your local weekly -- while you still can.

Sprain? Strain? The terms for these injuries sound so similar, what's the difference? Find out by taking this quiz, based on information from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
You should follow the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) treatment for the first 1 to 2 days after the injury:
Your health care provider may recommend a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen to help reduce pain and swelling. A moderate to severe sprain or strain may need a cast or brace to hold the joint still while it heals. A severe sprain or strain may need surgery to fix the tear. How long it takes a sprain or strain to heal depends on how the severe the injury is. A moderate ankle sprain might need up to 6 weeks to heal. A severe sprain might take 6 months to a year.

2001 Jaguar X-Type • 6 cylinder 4WD Automatic • 38,000 miles
I'm thinking about purchasing a jaguar X type sports model car. It does not have cruise control. If I purchased a steering wheel that had cruise control switches on it would that be sufficient to enable cruise control on the car? My auto electrician has also asked does the car run a seperate cruise control computer or is it through the comfort control computer. He has also asked does it run wiring and slip ring from the steering wheel or is it infra red. Does it run vacum bellows or electric motor? Thanks for considering my questions. Keith

Dave Kallmann offers news, notes and perspective on the wide world of auto racing
Drug testing for NASCAR
NASCAR will drug test all drivers in its three national series and its officials and require that all licensed crew members be tested before the start of the 2009 season as part of an updated drug policy announced Saturday.
Drivers, over-the-wall crew members and officials will then be subject to random tests throughout the year.
"We have made a very good policy even better with the addition of random tests," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said in the announcement. "NASCAR's policy has long given us the ability to test anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Random tests now provide us and the industry with additional information."
Perhaps a decade ago, NASCAR described its testing as random, but in reality, some people were tested more randomly than others, if you get my drift. Within the past several years, though, the sanctioning body has been under increasing scrutiny after several positive tests, and it took a huge public relations hit when former Craftsman Truck Series driver Aaron Fike admitted to using heroin even on race days.
NASCAR's policy on substance abuse governs all drugs, meaning a competitor can be found in violation for the use of a prescription medication if NASCAR believes it has been misused.
Penalties will continue to include immediate suspension from competition. Even one positive test could result in a lifetime ban, but three will automatically.
NASCAR's tests will be administered by AEGIS Sciences Corporation, a Nashville-based company established in 1986 as an anti-doping lab.

Apartments in Great Falls, MT
Guide to Great Falls
Great Falls Apartments For Rent
When Lewis and Clark traveled across the preset-day state of Montana, they struggled with rugged conditions, both on land and on water. One troublesome spot in particular was a series of five waterfalls on the Missouri River that slowed them down for more than a month. This rough section of their journey is marked by the Great Falls Portage National Historic Landmark in present-day Great Falls.
Great Falls is a charming city located in central Montana. It is the county seat of Cascade County and the location of Malmstrom Air Force Base, the University of Great Falls, and Montana State University Great Falls – COT. The city enjoys a stable economy, a low cost of living, and a wide variety of housing options. But most residents are drawn to Great Falls by what's outside. Apartments in Great Falls have some of the best amenities around – such as the amazing river, the stunning waterfalls, and 57 gorgeous parks.
Things to Do in Great Falls:
First – explore the River's Edge Trail. This 40-mile biking, walking, and jogging path follows the Missouri River and is a fantastic way to explore your new hometown. Next, take some time to visit the parks. Great Falls parks offer terrific amenities, including two public golf courses, a skate park, and a dog park. Gibson Park is the heart of Great Falls, with concerts, events, and festivals taking place here. It features a pond, beautiful gardens, a band shell, a playground, and picnic areas.
Great Falls is also about an hour from Yellowstone National Park and Glacier Park. Lewis and Clark National Forest is nearby and Great Falls is home to the park's interpretive center. These locations are ideal for fishing, hunting, OHV riding, horseback riding, hiking, and camping.
Great Falls is cradled by state parks, including Giant Springs, a 675-acre park containing one of the largest freshwater springs in the world. It was first recorded by Lewis and Clark during the expedition of 1805. Rainbow Falls and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center are located in or near the park.
Glacier National Park is only about a two-hour drive from Great Falls, providing the ultimate weekend destination. With its wild, majestic peaks and jagged valleys, this is a stunning location where you might just see gray wolves, grizzly bears, moose, mountain goats, and wolverines. Glacier National Park provides more than 700 miles of trails and activities such as hiking, horseback riding, tours, and camping.
Museums in Great Falls include the C.M. Russell Museum, home to a variety of western art, and the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art. Be sure to take the kids to the hands-on Children's Museum of Montana, or go explore the History Museum. Unique museums in Great Falls include the 341st Space Wing Museum, the Ursuline Center, First Peoples Buffalo Jump, and the Galerie Trinitas – a religious art museum featuring the artwork of Sister Mary Tinitas Morin.
Residents can enjoy performances by the Great Falls Symphony or attend events at the Mansfield Center for the Performing Arts. The Mansfield Center is located downtown and is a National Historic Landmark. It hosts everything from trade shows to concerts to theater productions. The Montana State Fair is held at Montana ExpoPark, which also hosts other events and concerts throughout the year.
Events include the Montana State Fair, Western Art Week, and the Montana PRCA Rodeo Finals, held at the ExpoPark. Other fun events you'll enjoy after choosing an apartment in Great Falls include the Pet and Doll Parade, a parade featuring children with their pets and/or dolls. The Ice Breaker Road Race is considered one of the top road races in the US by Runner's World Magazine. This race features a 5-mile race, a 3-mile run, and a 1-mile run/walk.
Charming and historic Downtown Great Falls is filled with boutiques, locally-owned businesses, and restaurants. Holiday Village Mall provides even more shopping with large anchor stores, restaurants, and smaller shops.
What to Consider When Moving to Great Falls:
When you rent a Great Falls apartment, great adventures await – not only in the beautiful, rugged landscape that surrounds you, but also in the beautiful museums, historic sites, and great entertainment. As home to Malmstrom AFB, there's a large military presence in Great Falls.
Great Falls is the third largest city in Montana – it is big enough to provide plenty to do, but still rural enough to have that wonderful Western sense of space and style. There are roughly 59,000 residents in Great Falls, which is considered one of the most affordable cities in the nation. And while it may be a smaller city, it is home to the Great Falls International Airport and Great Falls College-Montana State University.
Why Great Falls Apartments Are Hot:
Great Falls offers fantastic outdoor adventures, a beautiful downtown, short commutes, safe neighborhoods, top-ranking schools, terrific shopping, and plenty of restaurants. Of course apartments in Great Falls are hot! Add in a strong economy, an extensive parks system, nearby state and national parks – including Glacier Park and Yellowstone National Park – and it is easy to see why Great Falls is the place you'll want to rent – and stay!
Why Great Falls?
- The Montana State Fair and Western Art Week is one of the nation's biggest and best auctions.
- Electric City Water Park features a lazy river, a pool, water slides, a play area, and the Flow Rider.
- The Showdown Ski Area features cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobile trails, and snowboarding.
- The University of Great Falls, a private university, was founded in 1932, offers several degree programs.
- Holiday Village Mall and the historic downtown's charming stores offer unique shopping opportunities.
- Events include a farmer's market, the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals, and the Ice Breaker Road Race.

Jessica Alba might be known best as a Hollywood A-lister, but the actress spends a ton of time these days sourcing good-for-the-earth/good-for-your-baby products to go in her online shop, The Honest Company. Today at FABB, Alba and her business partner, Christopher Gavigan, sat down with Lucky EIC Brandon Holley to discuss everything from eco aesthetics to…well…poop:
- On the need for nice-looking, earth-friendly products: "Why do the organic things have to be brown or beige or oatmeal? Why can't it be cute?"
- On the importance of petroleum-free diapers (besides the obvious ones): "If your baby is like mine and decides to eat her diaper, our diapers won't hurt her."
- On the power of bloggers: "People who used to want to invest in wall street now want to invest in people like you. Investing in good ideas and investing in women is important today."
- On balancing work and family: "I had two hours of sleep last night. Thank god for makeup. I wish there were 48 hours in a day and two of me. I always feel like I compromise."
Alba is wearing an Alice & Olivia sweater (buy a similar top here), Topshop trousers (buy a similar pair here) and Giuseppe Zanotti heels (shop 'em here).

Camille Grammer Has a New TV Gig
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' first season may be just wrapping up, but Camille Grammer is already leaping in to her next TV role.
The reality star, 42, will guest star on the season finale of CBS' $#*! My Dad Says, TV Guide reports.
Though the role, admittedly, isn't much of a stretch.
PHOTOS: Hellish Housewives romances
Grammer, who is in the middle of an ugly divorce with husband of 13 years, Kelsey, will play a divorced reality star who goes house hunting on her reality show. The character's name? Camille, of course.
VIDEO: Camille defends her soft-core porn work
Grammer -- who recently defended her past work in soft-core porn -- does have some acting experience with small roles in Private Parts, Deconstructing Harry and an episode of her estranged husband's hit show, Frasier.

Thug Cop Beats Up Defenseless Handcuffed Woman
by Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet February 19, 2008
Thug cop claims victim who ended up with two black eyes in a pool of her own blood "fell over"
Shocking police station video of an argumentative woman who ended up unconscious in a pool of her own blood with two black eyes, a broken nose and broken teeth did not lead to criminal charges against the cop after officials claimed the woman "fell over."
Quite how Angela Garbarino received two black eyes, a broken nose, broken teeth and blood pouring from her head after a "slip and fall" is not quite explained by officials or ABC News, who ran with the headline Police Brutality or Slip and Fall?
Below is a low quality You Tube version, the high quality ABC News version can be watched here.
The police are refusing to press criminal charges against the officer because "no one knows for sure what occurred." That's probably because this cowardly thug, Officer Wiley Willis, made sure his brutal assault wasn't recorded on camera.
If police arrived at a house where a handcuffed woman was lying unconscious in a pool of her own blood with two black eyes, a broken nose and broken teeth with a man standing nearby, who would the prime suspect be? Would the police refuse to arrest the man because no videotape of the incident took place or would they go with what every single piece of circumstantial evidence was screaming out had happened?
Comments posted in response to the ABC News story underscore how blatantly ridiculous the police's explanation and handling of the matter is.
- "What is most insulting is this: They haven't charged the officer because "no one knows for sure what happened". Crimes are committed each and every day that aren't videotaped and yet the suspects are arrested based on the best evidence available at the time. Why is he being treated any different? I AM a former police officer and can tell you this: in Ohio, for example, in domestic violence cases, we had a duty to arrest the obvious aggressor. Meaning this: if I showed up on scene and the man was fine and the woman had two black eyes and two busted teeth and was lying in a pool of her own blood, I didn't need a videotape of the incident occurring, I made the arrest of the male suspect. This officer is a disgrace to both the badge and to humanity in general. I say give him a taste of his own medicine, take him out behind the woodshed as they used to say."
- "Let's suppose my wife has black eyes, broken teeth, and is lying in a pool of her own blood when cops arrive. I say, "She fell down when she tried to leave the house." Do the cops: 1. Arrest me or 2. Let me go because, "No one really knows what happened". Cop should be in jail, now."
- "The only way a person can end up looking like that after a "fall" is if that fall was off a cliff!"

In Script editor i have written a command to boot the JAR.
do shell script "cd /Desktop/RunJar/; java -jar RunMyJar.jar"
and Saved as script file as a Application. When i click on script file jar get run.
As the apple script file has been saved as application we can not open the file on WINDOWS O.S.. so we are looking to configure the script file in such way that
User only run that script file and script can automatically get the name of current directory and run the JAR instead of writing cd /Desktop/RunJar/;
we can able to ship the script with the blank value of variable say current director and user can open and specif its working directory.
My Requirement is
Can apple script file automatic capture the absolute path of current directory (/Desktop/RunJar/) in which JAR is being executed.
OR Can we ship the apple script to MAC user from windows and ask user to open the script file and provide the absolute path of your current directory to some local variable say Current_directory in apple script.
