WASHINGTON (January 5, 2016)– New analysis from World Resources Institute shows that Michigan is in a strong position to meet its target under the EPA's Clean Power Plan for reducing emissions from the power sector through its existing energy efficiency and renewable energy policies. These policies have already generated investments, jobs and energy savings in the state.
The excitement around clean energy access through distributed renewable energy has a good basis in real world experience. By creating the right policy and regulatory conditions, international clean energy access initiatives can help other countries benefit from greater access to electricity through distributed renewable energy.
Clean Energy Access in Developing Countries
Perspectives on Policy and Regulation
This is the second in a series of three briefs, Keys to Achieving Universal Energy Access. These studies are based on interviews and desk research, as well as two workshops held by WRI and the DOEN...

Power Sector Opportunities For Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Missouri
President Obama announced a national climate plan in June 2013, directing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set carbon pollution standards for the power sector. Once EPA establishes those standards, states will implement their own plans for achieving those reductions.
In response to the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed emissions standards on existing power plants, World Resources Institute board members released the following statements:
Felipe Calderón, former President of México, Chair of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate and Board Member, WRI:
"I would like to congratulate President Obama on this bold move to reduce carbon emissions in the United States.
WASHINGTON—Today, the Obama Administration released the first national standards to limit carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants. These standards are the next step in implementing the U.S. Climate Action Plan to address the growing threat of climate change. The proposal would put in place emission cuts of 30 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.

Arkansas has already taken steps to reduce its near-term power sector CO2 emissions by implementing energy efficiency policies. And the state has the opportunity to go even further. In fact, new WRI analysis finds that Arkansas can reduce its CO2 emissions 39 percent below 2011 levels by 2020 by implementing new clean energy strategies and taking advantage of existing infrastructure. Achieving these reductions will allow Arkansas to meet moderately ambitious EPA power plant emissions standards, which are due to be finalized in 2015.

CHAMPAIGN — University of Illinois police arrested a Champaign man over the weekend after they found suspected drugs and other paraphernalia in his home.
Bartek A. Urbanek, 21, who listed an address in the 300 block of East Green Street, was charged on Monday with unlawful possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
Judge Richard Klaus scheduled Urbanek's next court appearance for Tuesday.
According to a UI police report, a narcotics investigation led police to get a search warrant for Urbanek's home.
Police arrested Urbanek at 9 p.m. Sunday after finding about 15 grams of suspected K2 "Spice," which is a synthetic cannabis product; several items with suspected cocaine residue on them; some prescription pills; drug equipment; packaging bags and cash.

Jobs at medical practices are expected to substantially increase through 2018, while hospital employment will grow more slowly, according to government projections. The data predict about 772,200 new jobs will be created in physician offices, including 109,300 for physicians and 106,500 for registered nurses. The projections raise concerns among experts that current shortages of doctors and nurses will get worse.

Rubber Match
Which condom is best?
When the list of the world's great inventions is tallied, the wheel, the combustion engine, and the computer chip invariably make the list. The condom, amazingly, never does. This seems an injustice. The condom has been around in some form at least since the Roman times, probably longer, and to this day remains the most popular prophylactic in most parts of the world. It is a marvel of human ingenuity, really: cheap, easy to use, and remarkably effective.
Condoms are thought to have originally been made from animal intestines or fish bladders, with some colorful local variations: oiled rice paper in the East, condomlike sheaths made form tortoise shell—yes, tortoise shell—in the South Pacific. Casanova is said to have preferred linen. In the 1840s, Charles Goodyear perfected the vulcanization of rubber, which became the material of choice for over a century and provided the condom with its most enduring nickname (other popular sobriquets include jimmy hat, love glove, and raincoat). In the last 30 years, most condom-makers have switched from rubber to latex, and some have introduced novelty condoms: ribbing, fruit flavors, neon glow-in-the-dark paint. These have been more interesting in theory than in practice.
In the past year, however, the condom industry has undergone a quiet revolution. If you've recently rushed out of the house in a long coat at 2 a.m., you've likely noticed a dizzying array of male-prophylactic choices. There are mesh-patterned condoms and climax-delaying condoms and contoured, studded condoms. The people at Trojan seem to be leading the charge with innovation and flashy design. Some of these newfangled offerings are useful, some not so useful, some just scary. I decided to conduct a test to find the best among them.
I live in Los Angeles, arguably the best city in the world to conduct this sort of research. In addition to any number of 24-hour drug stores the size of university gymnasiums, L.A. has specialty shops catering to every conceivable sexual predilection. However, I limited the test sample to condoms that are 1) readily available at Rite Aid or Walgreens, etc.; or, 2) available on any number of Internet retail sites.
I tested condoms that seemed to be the most advanced and innovative. For instance, I tried the Trojan Warm Sensations condom, but I did not try Twisted Pleasure, a variation on the more common ribbed condom. With one exception, I chose condoms without the spermicide Nonoxynol-9, which recent studies have suggested may increase the risk of HIV and other STDs.
My partner and I graded in three categories.
1) Feeling, by which I mean proximity to the real thing. How much did it feel like there was no condom at all?
2) Lubrication and ease of application. How well-lubricated was the condom? Did it stay lubricated? (To keep the playing field level, we used no outside lubricants.) Did it go on easily? Was it ill-fitting? For the most part, we stuck with normal-sized condoms. (Among the crop of larger-sized models, the standout is the Trojan Magnum. And for those men really eager to impress there is the Trojan Magnum XL, the Hummer of condoms.)
3) Aesthetics. Some condoms have only a slight latex scent, others smell as though you're making out in a tire factory. And while most condoms look alike, a few unfortunate specimens made us wonder whether their designers had some kind of plumbing work in mind.

You are destroying data. I don't have time to respond today -- someone will fill in and explain what you are doing wrong.
In the meantime, read this brief introduction to the parts of Aperture, and read this page in the User Manual.
What you want to do is select the Images to move, export them as a Library, and then import that Library into your "new" Library.
You could also simply put your entire current collection in a Folder in Aperture, and then move things, _within the same Library_, to a new set of Projects, Folders, and Albums that your create. When you're done, delete the remaining "old" folder.

Dragging to the desktop gets your Aperture Preview. This is very likely lower quality than your original and definitely missing a lot of metadata.
Deleting from the library is destroying your orginal.
So, yes you've destroyed the integrity and file size of your original, as you have destroyed the original.
Gather all the photos you want to move to a project in Aperture.
Export that project as a Library (it's under the file -> export command)
Then import that Library to the other one.
But why bother? Aperture can hold 1,000,000 images in any one library. Why not just use one and the Aperture tools to classify them?

Lucky investors gain big as mergers and acquisitions surge in new year
NEW YORK — If stock investing is like playing the lottery, your odds of winning the jackpot just got a little better.
Companies are buying each other at the fastest pace since before the Great Recession. Investors lucky enough to own stock in a company being bought are pocketing big money.
Since November, U.S. companies have announced a dozen purchases worth $3 billion or more in mining, food, technology, airlines and other industries. Stocks of the acquired companies have soared 20 percent or more above where they were trading before the deals were announced.
On Thursday, billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway added to the frenzy, joining another investment firm to buy all the stock of H.J. Heinz Co. for $23 billion, or $72.50 per share. That was 20 percent higher than the ketchup maker's share price a day earlier.
Another group of shareholders scored a week earlier. In an echo of the big leveraged buyouts of the boom years, Michael Dell and an investment firm offered to take his publicly traded computer company private for $24 billion, most of that borrowed money. That translates to $13.65 per share, a 25 percent gain for stock owners, but they may get more. Two big Dell investors are protesting that the offer is too low, raising the possibility of a bidding war.
Investors are watching this deal closely for another reason: They hope it inspires investment firms to attempt other big leveraged buyouts — risky takeovers that use lots of borrowed money from banks and bond markets. The Dell deal would be the first large leveraged buyout since before the recession.
"We're finally dusting off the cobwebs," said R.J. Hottovy, a director at Morningstar, a research firm. "It shows that banks are willing to take risks."
Most deals have been companies buying each other in the same or similar businesses, with investment firms, and their heaps of borrowed money, playing no role. The companies often tap banks for money but usually use more of their own cash and are considered safer.
Still, CEOs have hesitated to strike deals because they were unsure they could count on the economy to help lift profits and absorb the costs of combining companies. That fear apparently is ebbing.
"It's a sign that corporate America believes that the expansion is going to accelerate," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital.
The deals follow other signs of confidence returning. So far this year, initial public offerings of stocks have raised the most cash in two decades; small investors are putting money into U.S. stock mutual funds at the fastest pace in five years; and professional investors are borrowing more to finance trades because they are not as fearful of losing money.
The last time so many companies paired off, in 2006 and 2007, stocks were surging and investors were pocketing big gains on takeover news.
Now a few lucky investors are reliving the boom years. Here are some recent deals raining riches on shareholders, from data provider Dealogic:
ConAgra Foods Inc., maker of Chef Boyardee, announces a $5 billion deal to buy private-label food maker Ralcorp Holdings. Ralcorp shares rise 26 percent to $88.80.
IntercontinentalExchange Inc. offers to buy NYSE Euronext, owner of the iconic stock exchange on Wall Street, for $8 billion. Premium to NYSE shareholders: 43 percent.
Mining giant
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold says it is buying oil and natural gas explorer Plains Exploration & Production Co. for $17 billion, handing Plains shareholders a 44 percent premium.
Deals totaling $219 billion have been announced so far this year, more than double the level over the same time last year, Dealogic reported. The value of deals is slightly above the same period in 2007. And that turned into a record year, with the value of deals reaching $1.6 trillion.
Those looking to profit on deals by picking companies before they're taken over should know it's not easy. But there are guidelines for choosing possible targets. One is a reasonably valued stock. Other signs are low debt and a history of generating lots of cash. Those are key for buyers who borrow heavily to finance deals, said Hottovy, the Morningstar analyst. Their debt can be repaid with the money coming out of target companies.
Hottovy warned that, despite the good signs, CEOs can sour on mergers and acquisitions if their confidence evaporates. He said a flood of deals a year ago turned into a trickle on fears the European debt crisis would hurt U.S. companies.
"We thought we were back," he said. "But then Europe put a halt to all that."

The big story this weekend may not only be about how awesome "New Moon" is — there will probably be a lot of talk about Taylor Lautner's new bulked-up physique . Some fans have even said that the muscles are a game-changer, and have switched their allegiances from Team Edward to Team Jacob.
"Amazing! Let me tell you, I think that was probably the best part of the movie — seeing him half-naked the whole time," Stephanie told MTV News after catching a midnight screening of "New Moon" in New York City.
Other fans not only loved the muscles, but also Jacob's new shorter 'do in the movie. "Taylor definitely stole the show," fan Melissa gushed. "This was all about Taylor."
Cece thought that the rest of the guys in the flick should have had some quality shirtless time as well. "Amazing! I wish the rest of them were just as buff as him," she said. "I love that his shirt was off the whole time."
Many fans called the transformation surprising. "Tan and lean and warm — and meaty!" fans joked. "Very meaty. I think that's the only word that could describe him."
"You know, usually I'm not a Team Jacob person," one fan said. "But I can't even lie — he looks pretty good." Her pal added that even she is seeing Jacob in a new light. "Taylor Lautner … he looks way better. I have a little tiny crush on him, but I'm still Team Edward."

Greenspan Supports CRA Reform but Warns of 'Credit Allocation.' (Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan; Community Reinvestment Act)
Cummins, Claudia, American Banker
WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan on Tuesday pledged his support for overhauling the Community Reinvestment Act, but said regulators must carefully consider whether their effort will "cross the line into credit allocation."
In his first address ever on community reinvestment, Mr. Greenspan told activists that if agencies become too involved in explicitly directing where loans are made, the banking industry and the communities they serve will suffer.
"I don't think you'll find any argument on this point from any of the agencies, but it will be important for all of us to remain vigilant to the risk of de facto credit allocation that is not sanctioned by the Congress, at the same time we are disavowing any such intention," Mr. Greenspan said.
Proposals for CRA Reform
In a speech before the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, Mr. Greenspan also pledged to community activists that his agency has "upgraded" its emphasis on CRA and fair-lending issues.
The Fed chairman's address comes as regulators other public comments on their proposal to reform CRA, which the president requested last July.
While the four banking agencies jointly wrote the plan, which would set tough new evaluations for big banks, Fed officials raised a number of concerns and threatened to vote down the final rule if public comments demonstrated that it is unworkable.
In his address, the Fed chairman neither endorsed nor attacked the reform proposal, but said that the plan needs to be "closely, examined."
Veiled Criticisms
"The core question is whether the new complicated evaluation system will better advance the cause of CRA for all concerned." Mr. Greenspan said. "We will, need to rely heavily on the comment process for this answer."
Despite his veiled criticisms of the reform plan, community activists responded favorably to Mr. …

Backless Single Bench
|Assembly: Some assembly requiredWood: EucalyptusFinish: Oil rubbedProtective qualities: Mold, mildew, fungi, termites, rot and decay-resistantPeople often wonder- what's in a bench? The answer to that question usually includes four legs, two armrests, a comfortable seat, perhaps a pillow or two (or three)?and a back. Well, this bench is just like all the other benches, minus the back part. Although some may think that this puts our bench at a disadvantage, we choose to look at it as a positive. When the back of a bench is removed, it can suddenly become many things: a picnic bench, a footrest, and if you add an uncomfortable embroidered cushion?voila! A fancy European settee (you know, those benches that you aren't ever supposed to actually sit on). Without a back in the way, you can shove it up against any wall you want without blocking any of your priceless artwork, outlets, light switches, or mouse holes. Even better, this bench is versatile enough to park its backless self in the inside or the outside of your house. Made from premium-grade tightly grained Eucalyptus hardwood (similar to, but more durable than Teak), this bench can withstand weather, dampness, insects and decay, as well as the general wear and tear it will encounter from day to day use (unless you decide to go the settee route, of course). So go ahead, go backless.Warranty: 1 year against manufacturing defects

Education Tuning Shows What Students Learned
Sure, many students take Psych 101, but do they all actually know the same things?
A new approach at some universities, known as education tuning, will require that degrees reflect a defined set of skills, rather than a list of the courses a student took.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I Can Haz Halo3: Recon?
This was announced at the Tokyo Game Show on October 9, 2008 and the reveal included a release date of "Fall, 2009".. so a year away...
X Box Live explains that the Halo 3: Recon campaign "is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief's return to New Mombasa in Halo 3." So basically it's a prequel!
My pick is the the Master Chief will possibly turn up at the end of the game…UPDATE: WRONG!
The game is played from the point of view of a special forces Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. These guys have turned up in the Halo series from time to time.
ODSTs are known in the Halo universe as the fiercest UNSC soldiers. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as Spartan's like the Master Chief, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
This is Bungie's Halo 3: Recon Site. Note the "whvidldshbyjsdo" Mr Wu suggests it's an acronym to be solved. I'm picking it's something to do with the ODST's name (and not an anagram as I originally thought).
Halo 3: Recon will also have a multiplayer function with maps and forge. There will also be Campaign Scoring, and four-player co-op. So it looks like Bungie is prepared to cannibalise from Halo 3's own successful matching making platform. It will be an intriguing match up.
Here's Bungie's trailer for Halo 3: Recon
Update: Has anyone solved the "whvidldshbyjsdo" anacronym yet?
I got an idea...

How you like my Halo 3 Killtacular?
Triple Kills are rare but nice. Overkills are like hen's teeth. Killtaculars are like find gold in them there far hills.
So I was pleasantly surprised when I (Jimmy Janglez) nailed a legitimate Killtacular, two killing frenzys, an overkill, three triple kills, six double kills and an Extermination to put the boot in (killing all 5 players on the opposite team in one go) on this game of One Bomb on The Pit
Here's the killtacular and extermination video for those with the Halo 3 game and and Xbox 360.
Admittedly it was a bunch of complete Halo 3 noobs so I probably shouldn't even begin to brag but I'd had two Chardonnays and just driven from Hastings to Wellington so it wasn't a complete mismatch....hell it was a killtacular baby! Go the Master Chief!
Shame the game wasn't on a Legendary Map so I could have gotten some of those nice new Halo achievement points...
Anyone up for discussing why Halo 3 is better than sex?

For most investors, the key is patience
Downsize in a major way
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Balanced funds provide investors with the convenience of
buying into a single fund rather holding both equity and bond
funds. This category of funds also reduces a portfolio's
volatility while providing higher returns than pure fixed income
investments. Fund managers of such funds also enjoy the
flexibility of varying the proportion of equity and fixed income
investments in response to market conditions. An upswing may
prompt them to hold a relatively higher share of equity in order
to maximize gains; whereas a downturn sees them turning to fixed
income investments to stem losses.
Below we will share with you 5 top rated balanced mutual
funds. Each has earned a
Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy)
as we expect the fund to outperform its peers in the future. To
view the Zacks Rank and past performance of all balanced funds,

The balanced mutual fund has a minimum initial investment of

|40 pages Abstract This study evaluates the predictive content of the 3-month Euribor contracts futures. We initially show that there is a forecast error on these contracts, on average positive and increasing with the forecast horizon. Then, we propose a method for correcting futures rates thanks to macroeconomic and financial variables. Finally, in the framework of an out-of-sample forecast exercise, we demonstate that corrected rates are better forecasts of future monetary policy path on the medium-term.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, and Adam Driver
The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has
congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's wife, Jen,
whose affair with his radioshockjock
boss has recently become painfully public.
Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his
dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shivaand
spend seven days and nights
under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges
resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the
clincher: she's pregnant.
This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's (One Last Thing Before I Go) most
accomplished work to date, and a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love,
marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bindwhether
we like it or not.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Poor Judd Foxman returns home early to find his wife in bed with his boss - in the act. He now faces the twin threats of both divorce and unemployment. His misery is compounded further with the sudden death of his father. He is then asked to come and 'sit Shiva' for his newly deceased parent with his angry, screwed up and somewhat estranged brothers and sisters in his childhood home. It is there he must confront who he really is and - more importantly - who he can become. Funny, moving, powerful and poignant. THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU is the fabulous follow up to HOW TO TALK TO A WIDOWER and Jonathan Tropper at his best.Review:
Amazon Best of the Month, August 2009: Jonathan Tropper writes compulsively readable, laugh-out-loud funny novels, and his fifth book, This Is Where I Leave You is his best yet. Judd Foxman is oscillating between a sea of self-pity and a "snake pit of fury and resentment" in the aftermath of the explosion of his marriage, which ended "the way these things do: with paramedics and cheesecake." Foxman is jobless (after finding his wife in bed with his boss) and renting out the basement of a "crappy house" when he is called home to sit shiva for his father--who, incidentally, was an atheist. This of course means seven days in his parent's house with his exquisitely dysfunctional family, including his mom, a sexy, "I've-still-got-it" shrink fond of making horrifying TMI statements; his older sister, Wendy, and her distracted hubby and three kids; his snarky older brother, Paul, and his wife; and his youngest brother, Phillip, the "Paul McCartney of our family: better-looking than the rest of us, always facing a different direction in pictures, and occasionally rumored to be dead." Tropper is wickedly funny, a master of the cutting one-liner that makes you both cringe and crack up. But what elevates his novels and makes him a truly splendid writer is his ability to create fantastically flawed, real characters who stay with you long after the book is over. Simultaneously hilarious and hopeful, This Is Where I Leave You is as much about a family's reckoning as it is about one man's attempt to get it together. The affectionate, warts-and-all portrayal of the Foxmans will have fans wishing for a sequel (and clamoring for all things Tropper). -- Daphne Durham

Summary: The death of Judd Foxmanas father marks the first time that the entire Foxman familyaincluding Juddas mother, brothers, and sisterahave been together in years. Conspicuously absent: Juddas wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Juddas radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the death of his father and the demise of his marriage, Judd joins the rest of the Foxmans as they reluctantly submit to their patriarchas dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a family. As the week quickly spins out of control, longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed, and old passions reawakened. For Judd, itas a weeklong attempt to make sense of the mess his life has become while trying in vain not to get sucked into the regressive battles of his madly dysfunctional family. All of which would be hard enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Juddas father died: Sheas pregnant.

Japan's Emerging Militarism Is Serious Threat
Byline: GUEST VIEWPOINT By Song Nai Rhee
On Dec. 26, Abe Shinzo, Japan's prime minister, committed an unpardonable sin in the eyes of 1.5 billion Asians - including many peace-loving Japanese.
Against stern warnings, Abe paid his respects at the Yasukuni Shrine where 14 Class-A war criminals - including Gen. Tojo Hideki, who ordered the Pearl Harbor attack - are memorialized along with Japan's 2.5 million war-dead.
The Yasukuni Shrine is also the home of the Yushukan, a war museum designed, among other purposes, to glorify Japan's imperialistic aggression during World War II and to portray Japan's brutal invasions as a holy war intended to liberate Asia from the Americans and Europeans.
Abe Shinzo's act has drawn swift condemnation.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang stated, "China is enraged over Japanese leaders' wantonly trampling upon the sensitivity of the people of Asia victimized by Japan during World War II as well as over their arrogant defiance against justice and human conscience."
Korea's Donga News stated: "Abe ... has thrust a nail through the heart of Koreans!" And a South Korean government official said, "Abe has chopped off his own foot."
Particularly significant is an editorial statement in Chosun.com, a prominent South Korean Internet news site on Dec. 27, saying that "Abe's provocation" shows that the peace-bound Japan of the past no longer exists.
This point was echoed on the same day in a New York Times editorial: "Abe's ultimate goal is to rewrite Japan's pacifist Constitution ... which restricts the right to go to war."
Largely unnoticed by the American public, Abe Shinzo and Japan's conservative government have been quietly but resolutely seeking to remilitarize Japan.
Abe is a grandson of Kishi Nobusuke, who was Tojo Hideki's handpicked industry/commerce minister and was imprisoned as a Class-A war crime suspect after the war.
Apparently, young Abe received a good dose of nationalistic brainwashing from his grandfather, for he has never acknowledged any wrongdoing by Japan during World War II, but has sought to justify Japan's imperialistic invasions as "Japan's holy war of liberation of Asia from Western colonialists." And he believes that now is the time for Japan to free itself from the American-imposed "peace Constitution," which forbids Japan from establishing regular army, navy, and air force and from ever settling international disputes with military means.
Aso Taro, Japan's deputy prime minister, has even suggested that the Japanese government should learn from Hitler and the Nazis in changing Japan's constitution "stealthily and secretly overnight with no one knowing what is happening. …

... the Denver-area promoter admits the pistol was in his pocket when Mr. Rose left Mile High Stadium on Guns N' Roses' co-headlining show with Metallica. Fey is FULL OF YARNS about his years promoting shows, and he's just penned a book, Backstage Past.
My colleague Dave Herrera, music editor at Denver's Westword, caught up with Fey recently and got him to tell a few tales that didn't make the book. The conversation is well worth a read.
Rest assured, we hear Axl has been showing up -- and sticking around -- for gigs these days. So if you haven't gotten your ticket to see Guns at KeyArena on December 16, feel good about making that purchase over the weekend.

Bought for my sister ,she got this to boost the immune systems of both girls, (ages 5 & 3), after they started attending daycare. It seems to work well, albeit being a bit pricey.

I'be been given this for a month to my 2 year old who's staying at day care while i'm at work and usually he catches a lot of colds and viruses from the other kids. I noticed that the symptoms are less bad, no more fever, only runny nose for a few days and good mood though he's sick. Will continue to take it up to 3 months for full effects.

1991-1993 Jeep Cherokee Fuel Pump and Sender Assembly - Airtex E7072S
Product Description
Airtex makes this fuel pump and sender assembly for use on 1991, 1992, and 1993 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. Fuel reaches the engine from the tank with the assistance of the fuel pump. This fuel pump and sender assembly must be used with 20 gallon fuel tanks for the accuracy of the sender and the performance of the pump. The sender relays to the fuel gauge on the dash the amount of fuel remaining in the system. Since this fuel pump and sender assembly is only compatible with 20 gallon fuel tanks, it will fit on Jeep Cherokees from 1991, 1992, and 1993, but it may not be appropriate for use on other vehicles with larger or smaller fuel tanks.

A Science Experiment Gone Bad!
February 29, 2012
By JAMES JACKSON, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah, Ga.
They wanted to see our house and stay over for a visit. We were happy they were coming to visit because we hadn't seen them in a long time. As we prepared for our company, we started to get the house ready. After I mowed the lawn and attended to other areas, my wife and I were sure our relatives would be impressed with the house and our handiwork. We agreed to call it a night and decided to finish the last bit of work left indoors early the next morning.
With sunrise, we began cleaning the common areas. We were feeling proud of ourselves until we got to the guest areas. The guest bedroom and bathroom had not been touched in more than three months! The areas were filthy. This was definitely not the impression we wanted to leave on anyone, especially our relatives.
In haste, we decided to attack the two rooms with every cleaning agent we had -- toilet bowl cleaner, bleach, Comet, ammonia and more bleach. This area was going to be "Spic and Span" clean! Everything was going well when we got the call -- our guests were less than an hour out and we'd just started cleaning their bathroom. At this point, I decided to throw a combination of cleaning solutions into the bathtub and then run some hot water in it. I stayed in the bathroom while my wife finished vacuuming the hallway. After about five minutes, I began experiencing a headache, and the back of my throat started to burn. On top of that, my eyes were now watering like a leaky faucet. When my wife opened the bathroom door and saw me, she suggested I get some fresh air.
By the time our guests arrived, I was still suffering from something (I wasn't sure what the heck was going on at this point), and they asked if I had a cold. I told them "no" and didn't think anything more of my condition until one of our guests came back from the bathroom hacking and coughing. Immediately I suggested we move outdoors to get some fresh air.
As we moved outside, they asked if we had used any chemicals with chlorine and ammonia in the bathroom recently. I looked at them as though they had asked me to explain quantum mechanics. They went on to explain that when you mix ammonia and chlorine (ingredients found in common household cleaning supplies), you get a gas previously used as a weapon in World War I! Both my wife and I were astonished and mortified we had created something so sinister. They also went on to say that every year individuals die from this toxic concoction. Once we'd uncovered the problem, we aired out the house and rinsed the tub and sink again. We then ended up having a great visit with our relatives.
To prevent a similar incident from happening in the future, we now take extra time and look at the ingredients of the cleaning agents we use. I strongly recommend you do the same. Trust me -- you don't want to unknowingly create a chemical weapon in your own bathroom.
w/ info box below
According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, http://www.aapcc.org, cleaning products are near the top of the list of the most common poisons for children and adults. Corrosive cleaners such as drain openers, oven cleaners, toilet bowl cleaner and rust removers are some of the more dangerous types of poisons found in homes.
When handling household and chemical products, the AAPCC offers the following tips to keep you and your loved ones safe:
• Keep potential poisons in their original containers.
• Do not use food containers such as cups or bottles to store household and chemical products.
• Store food and household and chemical products in separate areas. Mistaking one for the other could cause a serious poisoning.
• Read and follow the directions and caution labels on household and chemical products before using them.
• Never mix household or chemical products together. Mixing chemicals could cause a poisonous gas.
• Turn on fans and open windows when using household and chemical products.
• When spraying household and chemical products, make sure the spray nozzle is directed away from your face and other people.
• Wear protective clothing, including long sleeve shirts, long pants, socks, shoes and gloves, when spraying pesticides and other chemicals. Pesticides can be absorbed through the skin and can be extremely poisonous.
• Stay away from areas that have recently been sprayed.
• Don't sniff chemical containers, especially if you don't know what is inside.
