Upset over the presence of a Democratic party "tracker" hired to videotape his public appearances, Gov. Paul LePage used an address at a Rockport event this morning to announce that he was canceling a meeting with incoming Democratic leaders from the new majority party in the Legislature. The Republican governor said he wants Democrats to call off the tracker before he will reschedule a meeting with them.
It's not the first time Maine politicians have complained about trackers. Republican Sen. Susan Collins asked the Democrats to call off a tracker during her campaign back in 2007. Independent Sen.-elect Angus King's campaign complained about the GOP tracker hired to follow him around during the recent election season.
Political Science Professor Mark Brewer of the University of Maine says there's been a dramatic increase in the use of trackers by political parties and campaigns.
"I think we're definitely headed in the direction where these are going to become virtually as commonplace as having the regular participation in parades and baby kissing," Brewer says.
Commonplace or not, Gov. LePage disapproves of them. His spokesperson, Adrienne Bennett, says it doesn't matter whether they are hired by Democrats or Republicans. But she says her boss is especially bothered by them when they cross certain boundaries.
In a speech to a chamber gathering in Rockport Tuesday morning, LePage said he was upset that his tracker recently recorded a private conversation he had with an elderly man at a Veteran's Day event. Bennett says the governor thought the tracker's actions were intrusive, especially because not all the veterans had signed a release to be videotaped or recorded.
"So, when the tracker walks into a building, and even if he has a camera by his side, I don't know if he's recording or not, necessarily. So it's very difficult to tell when he's filming, when he's not filming," Bennett says. "We have to assume at all times he is."
But Maine Democratic Party spokeswoman Lizzie Reinholt says the tracker got permission from the Veterans' home to attend the event and never recorded any private conversation. Reinholt provided a video to illustrate that the only speeches taped were those presented over a public address system. She says the tracker follows strict rules before showing up at any public event.
"They aren't there to chase the governor down asking him questions. They are literally there to videotape the event, be a behind-the-scenes person and record it and leave," Reinholt says. "He's supposed to be respectful. Every time he's been asked to leave an event he leaves an event, even if it's an unnecessary request and he actually has every legal right to be there, just so that he doesn't have to cause a scene."
Events that the tracker has been asked to leave include several press conferences, a meet and greet with Republican legislative candidates and a trade workshop at the University of Maine Farmington.
"We're going to continue to track Gov. LePage. I think the record over the last two years shows why we do it," says Maine Democratic Party Chair Ben Grant. "This is a guy with a history, now, of saying things in public settings that have been deeply offensive to people, and we're going to keep monitoring that. You know, if Gov. LePage wants an accountability-free environment then he needs to find a different line of work."
Adrienne Bennett says the governor is looking for leadership from the majority party to call off the tracker before he can sit down with them for a meeting. Presumptive House Speaker Mark Eves says Democratic leaders are still hopeful another meeting will be scheduled.
"We think that there is a lot of work to do together and we look forward to working with the governor, and it was unfortunate we didn't have that opportunity this morning," Eves says.
Political Science Professor Mark Brewer of the University of Maine puts it more bluntly: "Let's put it this way: This isn't the textbook way you'd want to get things off to a good start."

The government has entered into an agreement with Dubai external trade agency that seeks to improve business and trade relations between the two countries.
The pact was reached at the weekend in Dar es Salaam with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) on behalf of the government and Dubai Consultancy ob behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Dubai.
Dubai Consultancy was represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Walid Hareb Al Falahy.
The MoU was signed during a trade mission to Tanzania by over 50 companies from Dubai which are seeking to invest in the Tanzania.
"We are thrilled by today's development," said the TIC Acting Executive Director, Raymond Mbilinyi after the pact signing.
Meanwhile, Tanzania Trade Development Authority (Tantrade) has signed an agreement with Dubai Exports, the export promotion agency of the Department of Economic Development in Dubai to strengthen business relations between the two countries.
Mbilinyi said the agreement is part of efforts to see Tanzanian businessmen develop their capacity to export more to Dubai. Currently, Tanzania imports more than it exports to the Emirate.
"This will help improve investments and business relations between Tanzania and Dubai in a win-win situation," Mbilinyi observed.
The meeting enabled personnel from over 20 companies from Dubai to exchange ideas and establish networks with over 180 Tanzanian counterparts.
Apart from the meeting, earlier the trade mission visited TIC offices, Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (TCCIA) and the Export Processing Zone Authority (EPZA).
Dubai Exports chief executive officer Saed Al Awadi said Tanzania has considerably a potential market for Dubai products and the long and historic relations between the two partners give Dubai exporters a competitive edge.
"The success of Dubai based companies in Africa is really to do with bringing together buyers and sellers from a number of targeted sectors which is what we have managed to accomplish in this trade mission," he said.
As part of the trade mission, Dubai Exports organised tailor-made meetings for each of the participating firms with potential customers, agents, distributors as well as partners.
For her part, Minister at the Vice President's Office responsible for Environment, Dr Theresia Huvisa, who attended the meeting, said her office will accord the necessary help to prospective Dubai companies which will show interest in investing in Tanzania.
Also available to witness the MoU signing were the Minister of State, Prime Minister's Office, Investment and Empowerment, Dr Mary Nagu and the Minister for Trade and Industry, Dr Abdallah Kigoda.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
- "I want to be a good dad, love my family and live the dream. But at the same time, I really want the other stuff too."
- ―Michael talking to his therapist
Michael is one of the three main protagonists in Grand Theft Auto V.
- "You see it in the movies. I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know? From that, that... line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man. So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I be a dad like all the other dads. My kids, would be like the kids on TV. We could play ball and sit in the sun. But well, you know how it is."
- ―Michael during Trailer #1
Michael's background is unknown at the moment, but it has been said that he is from somewhere in the East Coast and at some point in his young life he became a bank robber, and through the years he became highly successful at his job. Whilst young Michael somehow ran into an ex-military pilot named Trevor Phillips, who also had a flare for criminal acts and the two became close friends, performing several major heists in the past. Michael then met his future wife Amanda and had two children, Jimmy and Tracy.
Events of GTA V
Before the events of Grand Theft Auto V, Michael retired from his life of crime after making a "sweetheart" deal with the FIB. In the process of that deal, he and his family got rich off of it, now living in a large mansion with several sports cars and a private tennis court and golf course.
But Michael's domestic life is sadly coming to an end. In fact, his wife who now barely tolerates him anymore, spent almost all of his money in the city's finest boutiques. Both his son and daughter have little -if any- time left for him. Even Trevor had a severe falling out with Michael. This caused a severe rift between the two. Running out of money quickly and tired of being bored and miserable, Michael gets back to the criminal life.
His personal story is how the breakdown of his bought idyllic life pushes a man to breaking point. He is described as a man with everything and nothing to lose both at the same time, and his seemingly blissful existence in San Andreas will be changed forever by the events of GTA V.
Michael's good side is that he is thoughtful and calculated and likely to keep his motives hidden. But, he also has a composed side as well, which is his large ego, an inability to control his temper, his willingness to make large moral compromises and his hypocrisy. He wants to compartmentalize and be a good guy some of the time. But yet, Michael also wants to return to his old life that place him in this predicament. Another bad thing about Michael is that he hasn't been a good husband or father. Michael's aggressiveness towards his family and his addiction to chaos makes him alienate them. But yet, he loves and cares for his family. Dan Houser has also stated that despite seeming to be the good guy (at least compared to Trevor), he might end up being worse than Trevor in the end.
Grand Theft Auto series
Relationships With Other Characters
- Trevor - Trevor's relationship with Michael started at an unknown time period, but the two had a long and often troubled friendship with one another. But both men had a falling out which caused a rift in between their friendship (some believe that it was Michael's deal with the FIB that caused that rift). Since that brief rift, it caused both men to stay friends but with an even more troubled relationship with one another. When the two old buddies see each other, they often bicker a lot.
- Franklin - After meeting one another, Franklin and Michael began this father-son relationship with Michael holding some affection for Franklin, and saw potential and a younger Michael in Franklin, and Franklin doesn't really have a family but wants to move up in the criminal underworld but at the same time, doesn't know how to do so. So, he saw his way in after meeting Michael. Dan Houser has also stated that the father-son relationship between the two could lead to some "interesting situations."
- Amanda - Amanda's relationship with Michael also started in an unknown time. The two fell in love with one another, got married and had two children. During the events of the game, she can barely tolerate him anymore, (mainly because Dan Houser also confirmed that Michael has been awful to her in the past few years). One of the reasons she fell in love with Michael is because she is bound to him by their past lives, but now both of them can't stand each other anymore (Another statement by Dan Houser).
- Jimmy - Jimmy's relationship with his father is rocky as well and even though Michael is far from perfect, so is his son. They've both got a confused and awful relationship with each other. Michael does try to improve there relationship by spending time with his son, but all to no avail.
- Tracy - Michael's relationship with his daughter was also said to be weak, by Rockstar, though the second trailer, her first appearance, didn't show any dialogue with Michael.
Michael has a nice clean-cut appearance, along with nice clothes, usually seen in screenshots and artworks with a gray, black or dark blue dress suit with a light green or white dress shirt underneath. In the "Michael, Franklin and Trevor" artwork he is seen dressed with a creamy-yellow collared shirt with blue dress pants. During the opening scene in the second trailer, Michael walks outside to his pool with nothing on but sandals, swimming trunks and a pair of glasses, showing us that he is a small portion over weight but still in good shape.
Skills and Abilities
Like Franklin and Trevor, Michael has a special ability to slow down time while shooting (Bullet Time).
As Rockstar Games made there way into the character development stages of Grand Theft Auto V, Michael was the first protagonist that Rockstar came up with.
Michael has had a very positive responses from critics and fans, one of the reason is because of him being the first playable character in the entire GTA Series that has a family. Another reason is that he is much like Tommy Vercetti, or Carl Johnson who have already lived there lives out as an highly professional criminal and gotten rich off of it.
Dan Houser's Way of Describing Michael
"Michael, to me, is... Who is he? I know who he is, I'm just trying to... He's the person who is trying to ignore some rather large mistakes that they have made. The person who's trying to forget about certain practical but still selfish decisions that they took. He's a man, also, obsessed by images and by appearances and who, when the world doesn't live up to those images and appearances, doesn't know what to do. He just retreats into his head. What he also is, when we started out... What he kind of evolved into as we began thinking about him and developing him... He was the first character we came up with. He began as the idea of, what happens to a regular GTA protagonist after they retire? Then you think, what would make him retire? He's a man with a big ego and plenty of good values and plenty of bad values."
"A guy who's in his mid-40s and on the cusp of middle age who doesn't know what to do, but made a bunch of money and does not know what to do with it. He's theoretically won, but the spoils of victory aren't necessarily what he imagined. For us that's a very interesting character, unlike what we've done in the past or what we've seen in much entertainment in general, let alone any video games. That was interesting."
"He's the person who is trying to ignore some rather large mistakes that they have made. The person who's trying to forget about certain practical but still selfish decisions that they took.

Character Trailer
- Michael was the first protagonist that came to Rockstar's mind when they began the development of Grand Theft Auto V.
- Michael is the only protagonist in the entire series to be a family man.
- As seen in Trailer one and two, Michael is seen with green eyes and an older look. In the Michael and Gameplay trailer, Michael has brown eyes and a younger look. This includes a Beta version of this protagonist.

The recent political incident whereby the National Executive Committee (NEC) of NCCR-Mageuzi purportedly stripped Kigoma South MP David Kafulila of party membership, hence disqualifying him as MP sends a signal that an MP is not accountable to the electorate.
Whereas in countries such as the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the Philippines, Venezuela and the Canadian state of British Columbia a representative is totally accountable to the electorate the case appears to be different in Tanzania and in Africa generally.
In the above mentioned countries the voters have powers to remove public officials from office by popular vote before their tenure of office expires, under what is known as the recall system.
The recent political development in NCCR- Mageuzi in which the MP was stripped of party membership is sufficient evidence that MPs are not safe, especially when they rise up and question matters in their parties.
The power of political parties over their MPs is enormous, as whenever a lawmaker criticizes his bosses he or she may face the wrath of the respective party's National Executive Committee (NEC), the top disciplinary authority.
Common sense would have provided for an MP to be accountable to his electorate, his political party and ultimately to Parliament or the nation but now MPs are required to be loyal to the parties, first.
After the 1995 general elections, United Democratic Party (UDP) chairman John Cheyo stripped Danhi Makanga, MP for Bariadi East and Erasto Tumbo ( Meatu) of party membership but the then Speaker, Pius Msekwa quashed the UDP decision, hence reinstating them after it was realized that the grounds for expelling the duo did not hold water.
A similar scenario was in 1996 when Augustine Mrema, in his capacity as chairman of the NCCR –Mageuzi convened a meeting and expelled Mabere Marando, then MP for Rorya, and Chiku Abwao (Special Seats).
Speaker Msekwa again rejected the decision, citing the consideration that their purging did not follow proper procedures.
CCM Secretary for Ideology and Publicity Nape Nnauye was of the view that Tanzania's law gives the powers to voters within the village or ward to recall their local leaders upon being dissatisfied with their performance. However, he said such an arrangement (recall system) does not apply to councilors and members of Parliament.
He said it was up to wananchi to decide whether such an arrangement should be stipulated in the new Constitution, as the recall system is practiced in West Africa, for instance in Ghana.
He said a recall system for MPs or councilors, if accepted, would push political parties to get good performers as opposed to the current situation where a party is compelled to retain non performing MPs and councilors until their tenure of office expires.
"When you have a non-delivering MP in the constituency voters don't just blame such individual. Rather it is the party to which such an MP belongs that suffers," he stated.
CCM in collaboration with its MPs has drafted guidelines to help gauge the performance of each lawmaker, he pointed out
Arguing on the question 'To whom is the MP accountable,' Nnauye said basically the MP is accountable to his political party, considering the fact that until now the country has not legalized private candidates.
"If you want the MP to be first accountable to the electorate you are definitely arguing in the perspective of private candidates but until now we have not allowed such category of aspirants,' he said.
Earlier this year, the registrar of political parties, John Tendwa, said in a TV interview that there is no law that clearly gives an answer with regard to whom the MP is accountable.

The new year has begun, and as we all start our resolutions of ridding one bad habit, try to stick with it for 40 days to see a real change.
Getting financially fit
Savings accounts for every age
5 ways to get fit and save $3,400
We paid off our credit card debt
Bad money habits to kick
Get fit, save money
The new year has begun, and as we all start our resolutions of ridding one bad habit, try to stick with it for 40 days to see a real change.
This year, consider putting a financial spin on your resolution to kick a bad money habit while you have the support of everyone around you.
Vowing to stop ignoring your 401(k), giving up your monthly budget for wine or staunchly refusing to put unnecessary items on your credit card could all be worthy money goals during this time.
But before you pick your poison, consider turning your short-term goal into a long-term, healthy habit.
"If you can do something for 40 days, you can most likely keep it ongoing," says Lora Sasiela, financial therapist and owner of the Financially Smitten blog.
The booze, cigarettes and fast food aren't doing you any favors. Giving up these bad habits for 40 days could save you money and preserve your health.
If you're a pack-a-day smoker, you'll save almost $240 over 40 days, as the average price of a pack of cigarettes reached $5.98 in 2012, not including local and sales taxes, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. If you live in an area with high taxes on cigarettes, such as New York City, expect to save closer to $500 over 40 days.
Giving up restaurants and fast food could save an extra car payment. The average consumer spends about $272 over 40 days on eating out, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's 2010 Consumer Expenditures survey.
Beer and wine are an extra $40, according to estimates from the Beer Institute, Wine Institute and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
These vices may be difficult to give up, but remember, it's not forever, Sasiela says. It's important to stay realistic on what you can and want to give up.
"I think it's really important for people to really get clear on what their 'why' is," she says. "I think so often there are 'I should do this' goals, and they may not be aligned with what the person really wants."
People use credit cards to create an astonishing amount of debt each year. For households that use cards, the average was $4,996, according to a report by TransUnion released in November 2012.
"People will spend this month's lifestyle on next month's 'if-come,'" says Chad Carden, co-author of "Winning the Money Game: A Rulebook to Achieving Financial Success for Young People." "I will buy stuff this month, and I'm banking on that I'm still going to have my job (next month)."
It would take a cardholder more than 11 years to pay off $4,996 by making the minimum payments at an 18.9 percent interest rate -- and would ultimately cost about $3,000 in interest.
Pay down those cards with balances to get rid of that looming interest. Start training yourself to skip using a credit card for unnecessary purchases -- any items you haven't budgeted for. When you do use your card, make sure to pay off the balance each month.
And while you're using your credit card responsibly, start building good credit report habits.

Comments On Jan 17, 2013:First, this plow was shipped quickly! Very easy to install with basic tools and about an hour of your time. It was missing a small part but Rocky Mountain had a replacement at my door within 2 days! Extremely happy with the plow and with Rocky Mountain ATV!

Comments On Oct 31, 2012:I purchased this plow a few weeks ago and just finished the install last weekend. Install was straight forward and took maybe 2 hours total. Everything seems to be very high quality.
The mounting plate took a few look overs as there is a bracket welded on the frame for the rear brakes where it looks like the mount should bolt up to align the oil drain.... after a little playing with the spacing I Was able to get everything mounted up correctly for the oil drain to line up.
Great kit, I would recommend this to anyone!

So I just got through watching the newest episode of The Totally Rad Show (I'm a huge fan) and I couldn't help but notice the shirt that Dan Trachtenberg had on. A little Google voodoo-ery and I was able to track down the shirt that sparked my interest. It's called Product Placement and it was designed by Josh Eacret for Dutch Southern. This turned out to be a pretty cool find since Dutch Southern produces excellent T-Shirts that parodies some of my favorite movies.
When I first saw the shirt, I thought it was a rip off of the popular Spoilt shirt from Threadless and designed by Olly Moss. But on closer inspection, I couldn't figure out any of the movies. It turns out, the individual illustrations are fictional logos/brands from movies, and hence the name, Product Placement. Brilliant! I don't want to spoil the shirt for those of you that want to try and figure out what logos came from what movies so I won't mention any of the movies featured on the shirt. Instead, if you'd like to know the entire run down of the products and the movie that they are taken from then definitely check out the product page at Dutch Southern. And while you're there, you can pick up Product Placement for $19.
Watch Episode 131 of The Totally Rad Show (the one with this shirt) below!

The death of Pop King Michael Jackson will obviously be a topic when the Stan Simpson Show tapes again July 1. In the next few days and months, many will be talking about the musician and his dance magic. In my column Saturday, I'll be talking about the man -- flawed, troubled, yet so magnificently talented.
So, RIP MJ. The King of Pop is dead. Long live the King.
Remember, the Simpson show airs every Sunday, 10 a.m., on Fox 61. But you can catch advanced showings and archived tapings 24-7 by simply coming here to the blog.
Ok, so as promised, here are some of Nick Caito's fresh behind-the-scenes pictures of the new show.

LAKELAND, Fla. - Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias will miss most if not all of the 2014 season, it was learned Thursday.
The Tigers announced Iglesias will be sidelined four to six months due to stress fractures in his legs; in fact, he won't be reevaaluated until the four-month mark of his recovery.
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski is holding out some hope that Iglesias can be back very late in the year, but the tone of his voice indicated not to count on it.
Dombrowski did, however, say that Iglesias should be OK next season.
Dombrowski and manager Brad Ausmus continued today to emphasize internal candidates to replace Iglesias. Their refrain was: "Our shortstop has to catch the ball."
Dombrowski declined to comment on free agent shortstop Stephen Drew. He made it sound like nothing is imminent on acquiring any shortstop.
Iglesias was examined by orthopedist Thomas Clanton in Colorado on Tuesday, confirming a diagnosis of bilateral tibial stress fractures.
Iglesias will be limited to non-weight bearing conditioning such as biking, swimming and upper body strengthening for the next four to six months. He will be reevaluated at the four-month mark.
"It hurts," Ausmus said today.
Dombrowski said during the weekend that Iglesias can do a lot of activity without pain, including hit, field and run at full speed. It's decelerating that bothers him.

Talk:Kagami Uchiha
Back to page
this wiki
Since all the Uchiha EXCEPT Sasuke and Madara are dead since the Uchiha Clan Massacre, as ALWAYS stated, it is obvious that Kagami is dead, not "Presumed". So let's say "Deceased". Same goes for Setsuna Uchiha and any other potential Uchiha that I missed. Yatanogarasu 22:09, February 4 2010 (UTC)
- Madara should be also dead, becouse Itachi killed every uchiha except Sasuke and himself. And hes not. Honza8D (talk)
Uchiha KAgami..
Damn it he seemed strong..but if he is still alive he should be a 73 hear old geezer...he could be actually dead because of the massacre...but u never know
- I'm figuring it's more likely that he died in the 2nd or 3rd Shinobi war. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:36, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
Look at his eyes. He clearly doesn't have the common three tomoe associated with a regular Sharingan. I think he has the Mangekyo, and by the looks of it, it very closely resembles Itachi's. --Ech0six (talk) 22:27, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
- It is the regular. MS is much more different when clearly shown. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:50, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
Although its very probable he's dead, we aren't sure. He might be some Elder that Sasuke kills.. Fangzntalonz (talk) 16:40, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Uchiha Clan Massacre← --Cerez365 (talk) 17:08, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
Kagami's Seiyuu
Hi, I was wondering If you knew the name of Kagami's seiyuu ^^—This unsigned comment was made by Afo (talk • contribs) .
- Not mentioned. We'll probably put it if his seiyuu was confirmed. --Ilnarutoanime26 (Talk-Contribs.-Links) 07:20, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
Wait a sec, when did we hear him talk ? EDIT: My bad ... Danzo flashback --Elveonora (talk) 02:41, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Why is he listed as deceased? Should be "presumed deceased" or something. I mean, he was also one of the elders ... not to mention he was in a Team with Tobirama Senju the 2nd Hokage. Would Konoha really wipe him like that? Then what Tobi says is true. --Elveonora (talk) 03:08, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
- If he didn't die in battle or of old age, he died in the clan massacre until random Uchiha pop up alive and well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:28, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
About Konoha, if Kagami was in on the coup, then yeah, he'd've been slain. Not much choice. But yeah, he's definitely gone. Skitts (talk) 13:34, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Well, but we don't know if he has died before the massacre or during it. I mean, we don't know his status. He was never stated to have died, never shown dead etc. Like Madara was thought to have died in his fight with Hashirama but survived and lived some time after. My point being is that if we don't know the status for sure, should not there it be listed as "presumed deceased" ? --Elveonora (talk) 14:58, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Madara was said to be dead, and then shown to be alive. We can't assume every character thought to be deceased to be possibly alive somehow. The sons of the Six Paths were never said to have died, but they're still marked as deceased. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:01, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, okay then. --Elveonora (talk) 16:32, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Just speculation.... i think this guy is Tobi.. his power is unknown and had never been shown... he lived and was able to met Hashirama Senju, that explain why Tobi knows a lot of the Senju clan, as being an uchiha he posses the sharingan and knows it's secrets, we don't know if he is dead, but his age is perfect for every event in which the masked man appeared. As we had seen a part of Tobi face and why he is not too old as Kagami should, Senju's cell explain that. Their hair is similar. The only mistery for me is what meant with "giving the Rinnegan to Nagato"... But this is just a theory... Tobi can be someone who had never appeared in the series at all.—This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .

4.1 VS Mode:...
Tremendous Fun — This game has really nice graphics and the ball doesn't glitch like in some of the other pool games on the android. The gameplay is tremendously smooth, making it among my top favorite games to play. The hardest part by far is lining up the stick to be exactly where you want it to be, a challenge...

Firefighters believe a lit candle left unattended may be responsible for a fire that claimed two mobile homes in southwest Pueblo.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says a man living in one of the homes left a candle burning in his apartment while he visited a neighboring trailer. When he returned a short time later, flames were already spreading inside his home. The flames soon spread to a second trailer. All occupants were able to get out safely.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says the people living in the mobile homes are father and son.
One of the men tried to get some belongings from the burning home and was overcome with smoke. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
As the fire consumed both homes, a plume of smoke could be seen from several miles away.
Firefighters were able to get the fire contained quickly once on scene, but say that both homes are a total loss.
The homes are located on the 4500 block of W. 12th, which is near the Nature Center.
The homes are not in a fire protection zone, so firefighters only had the water they brought with them. They were out there through the afternoon watering down hot spots.

First, many on here are assuming that CP3 will leave the Clips if Doc doesn't sign. That is pure speculation and probably innacurrate. I'm sure the Clips know what CP3 prefers and he may be pulling for Brian Shaw for all we know.
Second, the Celtics aren't the only team that the Clips can pursue with Jordan, Butler and maybe even Bledsoe for the right deal. I'm sure they would prefer a C/PF who has younger legs than Garnett.
Third, Garnett for Jordan straight up is a fair deal, maybe better for the Celts, since Garnett only has one year left in his career and Jordan is a young, serviceable starter and still has some upside. Doc IS NOT worth 2 first round picks.
BTW - Danny won't terminate Doc and eat his contract. Doc will need to return but if he walks, the contract is invalidaded and the Celts are not responsible for his remaining $21M. Either way Danny wins.

The numbers indicate that the decision to have the primary in August, rather than in September, does not appear to have diminished voter turnout, as many feared that it would. The fact that the primary-related political debate happened earlier in the year created its uncomfortable moments, but it appears that most of the people involved rose above the discomfort and did what needed to be done. That's the good part.
Warning: Lecture to follow.
For those of us who claim to have paid attention in civics class, it's not hard to argue that voting is one of the most important rights that U.S. citizens—and Northeast and Northside citizens—have. It's not hard to argue that those who don't vote have no advantage over those who can't. It's not hard to argue that Minnesota has a history of high voter turnout; and, while a connection can't be proven, Minnesota always seems to earn high marks on "best places to live" polls, even though our temperature extremes are, well, extreme.
That said, it's not hard to argue that a 20-something voter turnout percentage is pretty dismal.
Because our numbers aren't all in and crunched yet, we'll offer the benefit of the doubt and concede that 25 percent of eligible voters cast ballots on Aug. 10. That means:
• 25 percent of voters decided who will run for governor in November. Maybe they made wise choices, maybe they didn't. But should 25 percent have decided something so important?
• 25 percent of voters bumped a long-term incumbent state senator off the ballot. His mis-steps might have been serious enough, and his opponent good enough, to justify the move. But should 25 percent have decided something so important?
• The incumbent secretary of state and attorney general, arguably the most powerful local interpreters of our precious voting rights (and other rights), had re-election opposition within their own party. By most any measure, they trounced their in-party opponents. But is a trouncing really a trouncing when three out of four voters stayed home? Or, put another way, should 25 percent have decided something so important?
We don't claim that the Aug. 10 voters made bad choices, we don't claim that if more people had voted the outcomes would have been different. We do seriously, seriously lament and regret the fact that three fourths of us—that's half again more than half of us—couldn't be bothered to squeeze a few minutes out of their busy schedule, run over to a local school, church or other public building, most of which are very conveniently located, and fill out a simple election ballot. This also strongly suggests that those same people didn't bother to check out the candidates so that they could make those cherished (by some of us) decisions in an intelligent manner. And, it must really anger the people who wanted to vote but who, because of unrelenting obligations or a real emergency, were not able to vote.
But we're not trying to put you down, you 75-percent-ers. By definition, you're in the majority here. We're not trying to put you down, because we want to win you back. We in the press are supposedly among the "heavy hitters" in the public influence department. We must share the blame for the dismal voter turnout. And if we knew exactly what to do to improve things, we would have done it. At least we think we would have done it.
We're eager to hear from readers who didn't vote what we in the media might have done—and what we might do in the future—to inspire them to vote, even in the elections that don't immediately determine the winners. For starters, it would be nice to reverse that percentage, so the turnout would be 75 percent. Given the importance of "the franchise," we would hope our communities could do even better.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is proposing a reduction in sulfur in gasoline and tightened emissions standards on cars beginning in 2017. The new rule would come with costs as well as rewards.
The cost at the pump for cleaner air across the country could be less than a penny or as high as 9 cents a gallon, depending on who's providing the estimate.
An oil industry study says the proposed rule being unveiled Friday could increase gasoline prices by 6 cents to 9 cents a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates an increase of less than a penny and an additional $130 to the cost of a vehicle in 2025.
The EPA says the change aimed at cleaning up gasoline and automobile emissions would yield billions of dollars in health benefits.

World-renowned chef, author and Emmy winning television personality Anthony Bourdain visits Los Angeles' Koreatown in the next episode of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," airing Sunday, April 21, at 9 p.m. ET. Follow the show on Twitter and Facebook.
Roy Choi created a brave new world of gastronomy almost single-handedly with his Los Angeles-based Kogi BBQ taco truck.
A Korean-American who grew up on the fringes of Mexican and hip hop culture, Choi's food reflects a new American idea of natural fusion - culinary influences that grew up next to and with each other.
In this episode of "Parts Unknown," Anthony Bourdain examines the meeting point of Asian, Latino, Mexican and even Bangladeshi culture in modern L.A. Koreatown.
Choi recently talked with CNN about his culinary vision and the bond between food and cultural identity.
CNN: You broke some boundaries when you combined the traditions of Korean barbecue with Mexican street food. Did you get any push back about being "unauthentic"? Does that matter?
Roy Choi: We were honest in our food and our voice. It's as much L.A. as anything else is. I am from here and this is our sound. We owed nothing to anyone's perception of authentic. We just taste like L.A. and L.A. is a mix of many cultures and taking chances.
CNN: What do you want to communicate about your culture through your food?
Choi: That we are not ethnic.
I don't understand "ethnic" because who is it that is using that word? Is it coming from an English-speaking state of mind and if it is, then how did we as so-called "ethnic populations" become something to be labeled? No one culture is the norm so no one culture therefore is ethnic. We are not different, we are all different, but we are all human and no one culture is the center.
CNN: You were classically trained as a chef and worked at lauded restaurants like three-star Michelin Le Bernardin, what made you go back to your roots?
Choi: I never left my roots, I just didn't know my roots were good enough to be my profession. We get caught up sometimes on a journey to become more educated or enlightened, not knowing sometimes the strength is right where you come from. But sometimes you need that journey to supplement your roots with knowledge and training, and that's what happened to me. I gained training then I finally saw how to apply that to who I truly am.
Explore Anthony Bourdain's favorite places to visit in Los Angeles:
Koreatown Plaza
Hannam Market
Beverly Soon Tofu Restaurant
Chego! (re-opening in new location in mid- to late April)
Kogi BBQ Truck
Dong Il Jang
Monte Carlo Bar
Myung In Dumplings
Julie's Taco Truck
California Donuts
Dive into the food that Bourdain and guests enjoy in the episode:
Ban chan
Korean barbecue
There are many variations, but usually patrons or waitstaff grill the meat, then each diner places some on a lettuce leaf in the palm of his or her hand, tops it with kimchi, rice, chili bean paste (or any combination thereof), rolls the leaf into a little sandwich and eats it. Other people skip the lettuce process altogether and just enjoy the meat and rice.
Kimchi fried rice
Korean tacos
Rice bowl
Lahori fish curry
Spam sandwich
Instead of blueberry-flavored high fructose corn syrup (commonly served at roadside snow cone carts in the U.S.), Filipinos use fresh fruit like mangoes, jack fruit, lychee, avocado and young coconut, then tie the whole thing together with sweetened condensed milk and top it off with puffed rice."
Execution varies wildly, and may include any sweet ingredient from flan and tapioca pearls to gelatin cubes and fruity cereal.

Helmut Newton: Sumo
Product Actions
Sumo was a titanic book in every respect: a 480-page tribute to the 20th century's most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer, breaking records for weight and dimensions. Fifty people worked with Helmut and June Newton for three years to complete a book that weighed 66lbs. But size wasn't everything. Now, 10 years after the original publication, SUMO is back in a more economical edition, but one with the same DNA as its unique progenitor. The original SUMO, edited by June Newton, featured over 350 pictures, most published for the first time, covering every aspect of Newton's outstanding career: from the stunning fashion images that influenced generations of younger photographers, to his powerful, erotic nudes and celebrity portraits. Also included is a booklet with a "making of" section, detailing the meticulous selection process, and the trial and error, experiment and innovation that went into creating the original Sumo, the book that redefined the photographic monograph. Includes bookstand. Hardcover. 480 pages. Style # 500392133

Introducing the First Series of Journeys
Agent of ChangePower. In this journey, there's a whole spiral of it waiting for Girl
Scout Juniors. The journey is filled with ceremonies and circles,
real-life heroines, and special new characters, including the
fashion-savvy spider named Dez. Along the way, girls learn how their own
power combines into team power and then moves out to become community
power (kind of like how Dez weaves her web from the inside out). The
journey's centerpiece is a comic story of girl heroines who will inspire
the Juniors as they take action to improve their own community.
We've made the resources you need easy to find!
