NUMBIR^LEGISLATDRE NOW AT REGUlJUt GRINDMany Important Measures Under ConsiderationTRANSFORMED BY THE SP^ACDLARCarnival Decorations Make Unrecognizable ONE TO REPEAL PRIMARY Two Compensation Bills Offered— 54 Hour Law Up—Maine Central Wants Taxes Reduced ?he regular grind of the legislature now on after two weeks spent in electing state officials, and many iipportant matters have forged their way to the front this week since both houses again met Tuesday. Two workmen's compensation bills have been introduced, also the bill for the 54 hour employment law, a!:d an act to repeal the Maine direct i iimary law has been introduced. An-otrer big fight will be ovei the petition of the Maine Certral railroad for re-GU'tion of taxes. The usual amount of ordinary business is also on the way so that the session will probably be of the average length in addition 10 the two weeks that have been lost. In the house a time limit on private and special legislation was placed as Yeo. 10 and March 1 on appropriation measures. There is an evident inter, t on the part o: the legislators to make up for lost rime. In the senate President Hersey urged the committees to get busy as soon as possible and several methods have already been adopted to save time. two compensation bills " Interest of labor unions of Bar Harbour and everyone who employs or is employed IS largely centered in.the two workmen's compensation bills introduced in the senate Tuesday, one by Senator Swift of Kennebec and the other by Senator Coie of York. It is of special interest to people of this locality where there are no mills ana very few employers who have mo~e than five men at work that the Cole bill exempts employers of five people or less and provides that employers engaged in two lines of business, if one line requires less than five employees, may designate which business the act shall cover, but if one is designated, it shall not include the other. Employees in groups of five or less can sue for damages without regard to the act, and farm laborers and domestics may also sue No exemption as to numbers is giA-en in the Swift bill. Employees of assenting employers, under the Cole act, however, may sue under the common law, provided notice of not accepting the provisions of the act is given. Tne Cole bill is more elaborate than the Swift measure. The Swift bill is miodeled on the Massachusetts law and is the favorite of the State Federation of Labor. While the acts are similar in many details, they are radically opposed in two features. The bwif: bill, as a general rule, provides for compensation equalling two-thirds of the average weekly wage, while the Cole bill, in most instances, makes this one-half. The maximum payment for death under the Swift act is fixed at $5,000 and the minimum at $1,500, v.hile under the Cc.e bill the maximum IS $3,000 and the minimum, $1,200. Both are thus sub;ect to the criticism which was so prominent in the fight at the last session, that high priced labor stands a chance of getting a greater award from the courts under present conditions than it could under either bill, although the Swift measure is much more generous in this respect. Under both the total weekJy payment shall not exceed $10 and in the Swift measure the minimum weekly "payment is $5 and in the Cole bill, $4. ■ The other radical difference is that under the Swift bill a new commission is established with a chairman appointed by the governor at a salary of (Continued on page 8) POOL MADE A PARK POND Everything In Readiness For Tuesday's Festivities—Program For Evening Announced The interior of the Y. M. C. A. building will not be known as the same place to those who visit it next Tuesday afternoon and evening as it will present itself with its elaborate booths and for the carnival decorations. Most specta-ctilar will be the decorating with palms flowers, flags and electric lights. At the entrance will be found a militant suffragette and a policeman taking tickets, and as one passes on through the hall one will find all about highly decoiated booths waited upon by attendants in foreign costumes. In the swimming pool will be most beautifully decorated as a park pond with palms, boats, canoes and electrical effects, also a fountain will play an important part in adding to its beauty. Adjoining the pool will be a Japanese tea house overlooking the lake of water. The pool decorations are under the direction of Arthur Law-I ford, who has shown very artistic taste. The gymnasium will be prettily decorated with its booths and other attractions. The orchestra will play afternoon and evening while the people circulate about the building, and in the front rooms S.J. Clements has very kindly consented to place a Victr6la with an attendant to furnish music throughout the whole carnival. Wescott's orchestra will be in charge of the music from the gymnasium. The entertainment committee, Mrs. H. M. Conners, Mrs. Arno Cleaves, and Mrs. E. L. Palmer, has arranged a most pleasing program for the evening. The country store committee has been reinforced by the adding of Mrs. M. S. Arey and Mrs. Charles Allen, who are lending their efforts to make the booth a success. The program for the evening will consist of: Singing.........Hi^h School Quartette Selection..........Wescott's Orchestra Vocal Solo.........J. Franklin Anthony Duet.................Mrs. Geo.

D. WaJcefield For Second, Others MeetinUs—Time's Plan For Doubtful—Howard Tracy AndMaintenance Accepted Frank Higgins For Third Bar Harbor has a public library of which it may well be proud. It is the outgrowth of 30 years of devoted labor on the part of summer residents and citizens crowned by Mrs. Morris K. Jesup's memorial gift of a permanent and fitting home. Here about 11,000 volumes of standard literature, works of history, encyclopedias, and late popular fiction are to be found in this beautiful home supported by an endowment fund given by Mrs. Jesup besides the annual appropriation of the town and receipts from the subscriptions of non-resident readers. The library was dedicated in August, 1911 and was occupied soon thereafter. No more delightful place for reading or for quiet study exists in America today than the silent spacious rooms this building offer designed for the purpose with the greatest care and with wide knowledge of what had been accomplished elsewhere. The library, built to endure— of stone and brick, and with exceeding thoroughness of workmanship in all detail—is situated centrally and pleasantly on Mount Desert street, with churches opposite; the Y. W. C. A. building given by Mrs. Kennedy as its next neighbor, and an old-fashioned hardy garden, lawns and shrubbery enclosing it. No more fitting setting for a library could well be found. Within, the main reading room is long and spacious, equipped with a silent floor of cork and panelled in dark oak, quiet and restful to the eye. A long oak table, lighted from above, reaches down the length of the room, for magazine or other reading, while on either side the room is divicied into alcoves—still, secluded spots for reading, each with its own window opening pleasantly out on lawn and garden, each with its own chairs and table and open stack of books. Easy flights of stairs lead up also from the floor of this main reading room to a galler>"—wide as the alcoves' depth below—extending round the room upon (Continued on page 8) WOULD PROTECT OUR FORESTS Dr Chrysler Delivers Interesting Lecture At High School LEAVES HUSBAND $100,000 Bar Harbor people will be interested in learning of the will of Mrs. Caroline P. Saint Cyr, who died in New York city, Jan. 1, and who is well known here in Bar Harbor where she and her husband Jean H. E. Saint Cyr, passed the last season at Silver Birches. The will was filed for probate at White Plains, Tuesday. She leaves $100,000, her household effects, garage and residence at No. 93 Hudson Terrace, Yonkers, N. Y., to her husband. Her son by a previous marriage, Henry Sherman Redfield, of No. 124 Washington street, Hartford, Conn., receives jewelry, family heirlooms, including a picture by Gebler, and $150,000 outright. He is also to receive $100,000 in trust for his son, Henry Alexander Redfield, with the provision that the principal is to go to her grandson when he is 25 years old. A policy of conservation of the beautiful woods of Mt. Desert Island was advocated by Dr. Mintin Asbury Chrysler, head of the department of biology at the University of Maine, in his extremely inter>isting lecture last night at the high school assembly hall on The Cedars of Our Great West. The lecture, which was given under the auspices of the Woman's Literary club, was made the more enlightening and instructive by the stereopticon slides with which it was illustrated. The occasion was rendered the more enjoyable by the musical program arranged in connection, this consisting of a trombone duet by Charles Wescott and Ralph Trott, a piano duet by Miss Rose P. Morse and Miss Alta Hayes, and the Federation song by a mixed quartette, J. M. Milliken. bass; Prescott Cleaves, tenor; Mrs. Hugh F. Spratt, soprano; and Mrs. George Berry, alto. Mrs. Charles Keucher had charge of the arrangements for the evening. ; A special invitation had been sent to all the clubs of the town to be present and the public generally was invited, so a good audience faced Dr. Chrysler when he was introduced by the president of | the Literary Club, Mrs. J. M. Milliken. Dr. Chrysler spoke in part as follows: "Cedars are and have been intimately associated with man; from a lead pencil to King Solomon's temple they lend themselves to our uses. But the cedars which Solomon procured from Mt. Lebanon are quite distinct from our American cedars, being more like pines, while our cedars have extremely small leaves, which fact explains their ability to grow in unfavorable conditions. At least five members of the cedar tribe occur in our eastern region, but only one of these, the dwarf juniper, reaches across to the Pacific. But that region has nearly related representatives of our arbor vitae, red cedar and white cedar. The giant arbor vitae of the coast is called canoe cedar from its use by the Indians in making their war cano^, and is still valuable for more peaceable uses. There is also a western red cedar, inhabiting the most bleak situations, not of much use except for fuel. Interesting on account of its extremely restricted range is the Monterey cypress, which is found in wild condition only on the shores of Monterey Bay. But dwarfing into insignificance the truly lofty firs and pines of the Pacific region are the redwoods and giant sequoias or big trees The former are found in clear forests near the coast, but the (Continued on page 4) ANNUAL xMEETLNG Bar Harbor Loan and Building Association Elects Officers The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Bar Harbor Loan & Building Association was held at its offices, Mount Desert Block, on Wednesday evening. The reports of the officers showed the association to be in excellent condition. The association was organized just twelve years ago. Its first series of shares matured in October last, and amounted to more than $30,000. The following were elected directors: L. A. Austin, Max Franklin, FrecT C. Lynam, C. F. Came, J. A. Stevens, A. E. Lawrence, Charles H. Wood, W. H. Sherman and John H. Harris. Fred L. Hadley was'elected auditor. Following the meeting of shareholders, the directors met and elected the following officers: L. A. Austin, president; B. E. Clark, secretary and treasurer; L. A. Austin, Max Franklin and Fred C. Lynam, executive committee of the board. B. E. Clark was elected a delegate to attend the annual meeting of the Maine League of Loan and Building Associations to be held at the Augusta House in Augusta on Jan. 27th. A meeting of representatives from towns on the island was held at the grange hall in West Eden on Saturday afternoon j to consider ways and means of making the Mt. Desert toll bridge a free bridge. The meeting was called to order by Charles L. Shane, chairman of the special committee appointed at the last annual town meeting to consult with the citizens of the other towns on the island and also with the Town of Trenton in relaticn to the course of procedure in purchasing and maintaining the Trenton bridge. It is to be resetted that no representat-ve from the Town of Mt. Desert was present at the meeting but this should not be taken as an indication that the people of Mt. Desert are not interested in the plan to free the bridge. Mr. Shand reported that he had interviewed many of the leading citizens of Mt. Desert, Southwest Harbor, Tremont and Trenton and had been assured that an article would be placed in the warrant of each of these towns providing for an appropriation to purchase the bridge. It will be remembered that the charter of this bridge provides that after 20 years the to^Tis on the island and the Town of Trenton or either of them can buy the bridge for the purpose of making it free at its original cost. The present owners claim that the bridge cost $5,000 and they are willing to sell at that price. W. H. Sherman stated that the valuation of all the towns on the island and also the Town of Trenton amounted to a little over $10,000,000. On this basis one-half of one per cent, would yield the $5,000 necessary to buy the bridge. The Town cf Eden would have to raise $3,475; Mt. Desert, $1,100; Southwest Harbor, $250; Tremont, $150, and Trenton, $75. This would allow a margin of $50 for legal services. It seemed to be the general opinion of those present that articles should be inserted in the warrant for the annual meetings of these towns specifying the exact amount to be raised. The question of how to maintain the bridge after it has been made free was discussed and it was finally voted to ask the legislature to pass the bill as suggested by The Times in its issue of Dec. 26th. Senator Scammons will introduce the bill which reads as follows: Subscribe for the Times. J. H. SAWYER Jeweler.............Silversmith REGISTERED Optometrist and Optician Expert Watchmakers.

Already a large list of candidates is lined up for the scramble, and some warm contests seem to be promised. Solicitation of votes has already begun and some are looking about to see what support they may expect before announcing themselves as candidates. The fight for chairman of the board of selectmen now appears to have simmered down to a dual contest. John E. Bunker has his haids full with the position of secretary of state and will leave the field to Harry S. McFarland, the present incumbent, and M. C. Morrison, who again comes into the arena. Mr. McFarland, who is the candidate for re-election, was born at Salisbury Cove in 1863 and spent his early life on the farm attending school a few weeks in winter. At the age of 19 he was graduated from Rockland Commercial college and for several years was employed in Massachusetts in a large retail grocery house. In 1887 he came to Hull's Cove and built the store now occupied by E. S. Carpenter and carried on a successful general store business for 25 years. He was postmaster for 16 years, but never held any town office until last year when he was elected chairman of the board in a four cornered fight. The other candidate for chairman of the board will be M. C. Morrison who held that position for two years, 1911 and 1912. He has also served as both second and third man on the board. Mr. Morrison is now serving his seventh year on the board of assessors. He always has a strong vote. Although only one man has announced his candidacy for second selectman, three and possibly four others may enter the field. Horatio D. Wakefield is the man who first makes definite announcement of his candidacy. He has been moderator 14 times at five annual and nine special town meetings—and will also be a candidate for moderator this year. He has been ballot clerk for both town and state elections. For 12 years he has been in the rish business and before that taught school at Town Hill for two years. He is a graduate of Steuben High school. Cherry-field Academy and Shaw's Business college of Portland. Other candidates for second selectman are not positively announced as yet. J. Franklin Anthony contemplates running for this ortice but is not ready to announce himself just yet. Mr. Anthony says he does not need the job but thinks that should be a recommendation. This will be his first try for otiice if he makes this one. Harrison E. Wakefield is also considering making a run for second. He has served nine years on the school board and was second selectman in 1898. James W. Silk is as yet uncertain whether or not to enter the fight. Mr. Silk was second selectman in 1911, 1912 and 1913, three terms, and says he may possibly again be candidate for the same office this year. He is a graduate of Bar Harbpr High school of the class of '07. Three candidates have already declared themselves for third selectman. Orient E. Brewer, who holds the office at the present time will be ^ candidate for re-election. Mr. Brewer has held the office for five years without change and for the last three years he has looked after the sewers of the town. He has lived ■ here for 16 years and previous (Continued on page 8) Fine Jewelry manufactured to order. Gems remoimted in new designs. ' 98 Main Street .

Customer Reviews
December 06, 2012Reviewer: Thor in MinnesotaThe best gum on the market. Tons of lasting flavor. The best thing is that while other artificial sweeteners are getting blasted for their health concerns, especially aspartame (which is used in most sugar free gums), stevia gets rave reviews.
December 20, 2010Reviewer: Ludmila in New YorkThis gum is my favorite, hands down. Clean nice taste, not overly sweet. No chemical aftertaste like most chewing gums on the market (especially sugar free ones). I can finally give up my Newton mints (yeah, sugar!) in favor of this product.
September 03, 2009Reviewer: Jeffrey in LouisianaHey taste just like regular mint flavored gum and me and my wife found that the flavor lasted longer than regular gum. All around great stuff, just ordered more, and as usual it was very pleasant dealing with Netrition.
August 21, 2009Reviewer: A customer in TexasA lot of sugar free, xylitol type gum products lose their flavor in the first minute of chewing. This gum keeps its flavor a long time and that is why I like this gum. It is also sweet enough to satisfy my sugar cravings so I don't have to eat desserts.
April 04, 2012Reviewer: Melinda in IndianaI bought the cinnamon. The first flavor of this gum is odd and kind of bitter. It gets better, but then the flavor is gone. I bought this for the natural sweetener aspect of it, but not really worth it.This review is specific to SteviaDent Gum, Cinnamon
February 15, 2010Reviewer: evlyn in OhioThis gum does not have a very strong, or long lasting flavor. It is OK, but I think that I'll try Spry or Zapp next time.This review is specific to SteviaDent Gum, Cinnamon

IDFA Sets Slate for 2003 Doc Festival
by Claiborne Smith
The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), one of the world's major documentary film festivals, will take place from November 20-30 this year with over 200 documentaries slated to be screened. Organizers unveiled the lineup for the festival at a press conference this week.
IDFA will host three juried competition programs divided chiefly by the documentary's length. In the Joris Ivens Competition, one of 20 docs that are 60 minutes or longer will receive 12,500 euros; the Silver Wolf Competition also features 20 docs, each of which is under 60 minutes, and one of which will win 10,000 euros. The First Appearance category is for 20 first-time documentarians, one of whom will win 2,500 euros. IDFA also features an Audience Award with 4,500 euros as the prize.
IDFA will continue its annual regular programs this year, among them the Top 10, in which a noted filmmaker presents his or her 10 favorite films. Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl, in addition to screening his 10 favorite films, will also be the subject of a retrospective at IDFA. Among IDFA's other regular programs are Reflecting Images, an international selection of docs that garnered buzz at other festivals (including Nick Broomfield and Joan Churchill's "Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer," "Capturing the Friedmans," and Frederick Wiseman's "Domestic Violence 2"). Highlights of the Lowlands features the most notable Dutch documentaries of the past year, and the Jan Vrijman Fund Program highlights docs that received money from the Fund, which bestows funding to documentarians in developing countries.
One of IDFA's special programs this year, USA Today, focuses on the ways in which U.S. ideology gets exported to the rest of the world, particularly after the launch of the War on Terrorism. USA Today will feature the French doc "CIA: Secret Wars," Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott's "The Corporation," and "Surplus," which analyzes globalization.

Environmental Dilemmas
The environment or employment?
Smart meters:
- Environmentally superior, they automatically transmit data about electricity usage. As a result, we can better manage our demand for energy.
- The tradeoff? Even including smart meter R & D, IT services, manufacture and installation, we would have a net job loss.
- The 2009 Stimulus Act's $4 billion allocation to a smart grid was primarily for smart meters. According to recovery.gov, more than 5 million smart meters have been installed.
Emissions reduction:
- Reducing CO2 emissions could have a substantial long-term impact on the well-being of millions of people.
- The Tradeoff? In the short-term, faced with new emissions control regulations, businesses tend to diminish investment and job creation. Discussed in this CBO report, emissions reduction from cap-and-trade tends to increase government spending, reduce government revenue, increase energy prices, and diminish jobs in industries that are high carbon emitters.
- President Obama reversed an EPA directive that sought to reduce ground level ozone levels.
You see where this is going. Discussed by NY Times columnist David Brooks here, environmental initiatives create dilemmas.
The Economic Lesson
You might want to listen to a good discussion of environmental dilemmas from a panel with diverse perspectives during this NPR Diane Rehm show podcast. As the discussion unfolds, it becomes increasingly evident that our environmental positions depend on our own incentives. For politicians is it votes? For industry, is it profits? For labor, jobs? And, you can see in this post, that during the recession, consumers bought fewer environmentally superior products because they were more expensive.
An Economic Question: For smart meter and current ground ozone level reduction, explain why you agree or disagree with the Obama administration.
One Response to Environmental Dilemmas
It would be selfish of our generation to focus exclusively on short-term job creation while knowing that our children and grandchildren would be forced to clean up the mess. It has been shown that there are ways to promote environmental and economic prosperity, even if there is an initial investment. People across the world are already suffering the direct effects of climate change, and the situation will only worsten if the government or companies do not act soon.

South Florida will soon get its largest solar array, 4,620 panels installed on the roof of a new IKEA store set to open in the Miami area next summer.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
SEIA Vows to Continue Efforts to Educate ACC About 'Value' of Solar
WASHINGTON, DC - Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), today released the following statement after the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) voted to impose new fees on solar customers statewide:
"While we applaud the ACC's decision to keep net energy metering in place – and appreciate the Commission's last-minute efforts to find a middle ground when it comes to new fees on solar customers – we are deeply troubled by today's precedent-setting action.
Rooftop Solar Could Generate Jobs
Los Angeles County could create tens of thousands of new jobs and reduce global-warming-causing carbon emissions if solar-voltaic panels are installed on just 5% of available rooftops, says a just-issued report.
SEIA Emphasizes Importance of Commence Construction at MDV SEIA Conference
MDV-SEIA's Solar Focus Conference gathered more than 300 solar energy leaders and stakeholders in D.C., with a theme of The Sun Rises in the East: The Growth of East Coast Distributed Solar.
Solar Power Begins to Shine as Environmental Benefits Pay Off
Amid polemics over rising electricity prices in Europe and the level of green energy subsidies in various countries, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the growth in clean-energy generation is a huge success story.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota entrepreneur Brian Gramm was tailgating outside a college football game one sunny day when he wondered why he couldn't use that energy to plug in a radio.

The Korea Photovoltaic Industry Association (KOPIA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) have announced their formal partnership in an effort to strengthen the solar energy industries of both countries and boost the competitiveness of solar energy globally.

A number of major US companies are taking energy into their own hands, harnessing solar power to cut costs and improve the bottom line. Iconic brands are now being equated with the power of the sun, and retail giants are leading the trend.
Solyndra Has No Impact on US Public Support for Solar
The media feeding frenzy over government support for now-bankrupt Solyndra has had no apparent impact on public impressions of solar energy or even of government support for solar, says a new poll from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Hart Research.
Who Supports Solar? Latest Survey Defies Political Stereotypes
As the U.S. presidential election approaches, U.S. voters are being bombarded with anti-solar ads, courtesy of super-PACs backed by fossil-fuel industries.

I have a class like this:
public class RxNormFolderMgr
// properties
public string RxNormFolder { get { return ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["rootFolder"].ToString(); } }
When I try to use it like this:
public class TestRxNormFolderManager : ColumnFixture
public string RxNormFolder()
RxNormFolderMgr folderMgr = new RxNormFolderMgr();
return folderMgr.RxNormFolder;
I get an error: "System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The AllKeys property for AppSettings is an array of zero length where I am expecting length of 1.
My app.config file in the project looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<add key="rootFolder" value ="C:\RxNorm" />
<!-- Root folder must not end with slash. -->
I know ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings is supposed to be obsolete and I should use ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, but I can't even get that to compile. I do have a reference in the project to System.configuration (c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.configuration.dll on my machine) and using statement at top of my code.
I am using Fitnesse to test the code, and that's when I get the error. It's my understanding that I should also place a copy of the app.config file in the Bin>Debug folder of the test fixtures project which I have done. So, I don't know why I'm getting this error still.
Please, help.

At Gourmet Noodle Bowl in the Chinatown International District, just about every customer comes for the all-you-can-eat hot pot featuring endless plates of pork, chicken, beef, veggies and noodles. It's one of the best in the Seattle area.
Gourmet Noodle Bowl could save money by not printing those fancy pink menus on heavy stock. I've yet to see anyone reach for a menu. Just about every customer who walks through the door has one dish in mind: the all-you-can-eat hot pot ($15.95) featuring endless plates of pork, chicken, beef, veggies and noodles.
The menu: If you insist on seeing it, the menu contains a little bit of everything, focusing mostly on Chinese and Taiwanese cuisines — appetizers (most priced around $3.50-$8.50) such as pot stickers and pig tripe; chow mein, noodles and rice dishes (about $5.50-$9.95). But the hot-pot picture on the menu cover tells you all you need to know.
What to write home about: The hot-pot broth comes in spicy, chicken, barbecue or curry. Choose one broth, or get smaller portions of two broths. Most popular are the spicy broth with pork intestines and the chicken broth with deep-fried tofu and fish balls, though the latter was too delicate to stand up to the meat and sauces.
An order comes with a huge plate of meat, like a giant party platter of cold cuts. The tender beef was the best cut. There's a plate of greens, tofu, udon and vermicelli noodles. Ask for more of the chewy udon, a nice complement to the meat and broth.

You also get garlic, cilantro and scallions to punch up the broth and some peanut paste for dipping.
Popular with the young crowd is the pork-belly bun ($3.50), which includes a generous slab of fatty pork with a crunchy sprinkle of peanuts.
What to skip: The dough in the chicken-and-leek dumplings ($3.50) overwhelms the fillings.
The setting: It's an unassuming, minimalist décor, but cleaner than most of the old-school Chinatown International District haunts and dim-sum joints. Service can be slow.
Summing up: Two orders of all-you-can-eat hot pots, a pork-belly bun, an order of dumplings and a Thai iced tea ($2.50) totaled $45.35. For two, the hot pots alone were enough. It's one of the best hot pots in the Seattle area, though largely unknown outside of the Chinese community since it sits on the edge of the Chinatown ID.

Students at Pa. school must ask for toilet paper
MAHANOY CITY, Pa. (AP) — An eastern Pennsylvania high school says vandalism forced it to create a policy in which toilet paper has been taken out of the boys' bathrooms.
Boys at Mahanoy Area High School now must go to the school office to request toilet paper and sign it out. Principal Thomas Smith says that's helped solve a major problem of intentionally clogging toilets that's been going on for two years.
Smith says boys must sign out the toilet paper and then sign it back in. But the Republican-Herald of Pottsville reports (http://bit.ly/X3shAR ) some parents are protesting the policy.
Parent Karen Yedsena says some students are too embarrassed to go to the office to get toilet paper and are going home sick instead. School officials say they aren't aware of any such problems.

In my 25 years as a management and marketing consultant, I've interviewed thousands of executives all over the world and asked them, "What is the single biggest challenge you face at work?" invariably, I hear a variation on the same theme.
"Striking a balance between staying focused on immediate business results while remaining dedicated to our company mission and long-term goals. All while navigating the totally wired world of business today."
At SMG, we work with leaders and their teams to address this common complaint by applying the world-class principles and best practices necessary to build a strong personal, department or company brand from the inside out. Our offerings for organizations include:
- Setting Your Direction: an intensive, off-site strategy planning session
- Personal Productivity in a Digital Age: staying on track
- Personal Branding and Leadership Development: walking the talk
We stay with you throughout the process by facilitating your team in first setting a clear direction, then developing the ingrained and intelligent productivity habits necessary to stay on track. Finally, we will support you in remaining true to your vision, strategy and goals by walking your talk through integrating your personal brand into your leadership style.
Setting Your Direction: an intensive, off-site strategy planning session
Karen Leland, founder of SMG, consults with leaders to clarify session objectives, conduct pre-off-site assessments, design an experience high in participation and facilitate a robust discussion with full engagement.
Each phase of the off-site is customized to support executives and their leadership teams in achieving greater alignment, clearer communication and enhanced focus.
During the session, teams identify specific plans of action for both individuals and groups and then commit to their fulfillment.
This session is appropriate for:
- Kickoff, creation and planning for high-profile initiatives.
- Marketing & branding projects, including an overall plan for the integration of new media.
- The creation of solid team alignment on current goals, strategies and projects.
- Solving and optimizing time management and personal productivity team issues.
Personal Productivity in a Digital Age: staying on track
This session is a comprehensive program that enables executives, individual contributors and teams to develop the time literacy skills required to:
- Stay on track to effectively implement agreed-upon strategies and objectives.
- Overcome information overload and increase focus thresholds.
- Prevent the productivity and time traps unique to a digital age.
- Avoid the pitfalls of project implementation that can lead to lost business, missed opportunities and unfulfilled leadership and team potential.
A variety of activities and resources, including personal and group assessments, workshops, training sessions, executive coaching and follow-up materials are available to assist leaders and their teams in bringing continued focus to their most important strategies and projects.
Personal Branding and Leadership Development: walking the talk
How can today's determined, yet overburdened, leaders walk their talk and act as role models for the values and priorities they espouse, all while simultaneously shepherding initiatives from creation to implementation in a high-demand work environment?
When all is said and done, it's the moment-to-moment choices and decisions that enable effective leaders to both model and implement the skills necessary to exceed expectations.
Available in both workshop and coaching formats, this program is designed to help leaders identify their own unique and authentic way of walking their talk via the creation of their personal brand.
Using our proven Brand Mapping™ process, leaders create and implement the eight elements of an engaging and effective personal brand. Highlights include:
- Developing a brand story that is both authentic and informative.
- Creating a unique branding proposition and promise.
- Using language that sets you apart.
- Identifying personal brand enhancers, diffusers and neutralizers.
- Applying personal-brand habits that strengthen the implementation of projects and strategic initiatives.
- Uncovering your core personal brand personality.

This is not a plug for my year-old book, `Hindu Hriday Samrat: How the Shiv Sena changed Mumbai forever'. However, just two days before Yakub Memon's hanging a literary agent mentioned to me how chilling he had found the chapter where I compared the stories of a Shiv Sainik who had participated in the 1992-93 Bombay riots and a young Muslim who had been caught in those riots and lost practically everything.
Then, on the day of Yakub's hanging, my former editor called to ask me to find him a blast victim and a riot victim for a similar comparison of their stories for a popular television show. It was very easy to talk to survivors of the blasts who are only too willing to tell their tale – embittered or magnanimous in their suffering, they are not shackled by any concerns in recounting their stories.
But when I called Mansoor Ali Khan, the man mentioned in my book, I had to take a reality check. I had had to search long and hard while I was writing my book to find a riot victim who did not fit the typical mould of a ghettoised Muslim with a story that might be similar to that of many others of his or her kind. I was quite excited to discover Mansoor – he was not living in a ghetto at the time of the riots, he was studying at a prestigious south Bombay college, wanted to become a pilot in the Indian Air Force and was the captain of his club's cricket team where all other members were Hindu.
The riots changed his life overnight – his family was lucky enough to escape with their lives in the nick of time. He went from being a fellow Indian to his cricket team to being just a Muslim and had to leave everything behind including his old life to find shelter in a Muslim ghetto. I was apprehensive about approaching him, wondering if he would agree to go on record but he had no qualms in inviting me to his home — he had moved from a mixed locality to an exclusively Muslim housing colony but everyone in his family, including his mother, were willing to tell me their story, hoping someone would hear their tale and offer them compensation that was long due and thus far not forthcoming.
So when I called him that evening, I thought he would be 0nly too willing to go on television and let the world know. But I was very wrong. Now he did not want to draw attention to himself. "When you came to my house and we spoke for hours together, India was a different country. There was hope and there was confidence – in the government and the people. We thought that sooner or later someone will cut through the red tape and hear us out. Now it is different. The country has changed. There is no one who will hear our voices. They will instead single us out and hound us to go to Pakistan.''
"Oh, but they hound me too," I protested.
"There is a difference," he said. "And I don't think I need to explain that to you, sister."
Then he sent me a message in apology for turning down my request. I found it heart rending – main sirf ek baat kehna chahta hoon ke ALLAH (capitals his) jise log BHAGWAAN bhi kehte hain woh hamesha HAQ yaane SACH ke saath hota hai. Usko kisi daleel ya saboot ki zarurat nahin woh sab jaanta hai. God bless u, sister — ek baat aur, Hamare Hindustan ko kisi ki buri nazar lag gayi hai.
I was speechless and teary eyed for hours afterward.
It was the same story as I made call after call to locate riot victims for my former editor who might be willing to talk. At last I succeeded but even this survivor agreed to do the interview after a few caveats.
The experience has only confirmed my belief in the travesty of justice offered to riot victims, not by the courts but by successive governments and investigative agencies. I remember the officer in charge of investigating the Bombay riots was himself an accused and even then as a young reporter I knew the investigation would go no further. It is only the Srikrishna Commission which came as a safety valve for the affected victims to vent their feelings of injustice against the state and it was a great relief that Justice Srikrishna could nail the guilt of the perpetrator of the riots – Bal Thackeray. I have recounted the story of the journalist who mounted an unknowing sting on Thackeray during the riots at his home in Matoshree and brought to us how Thackeray provoked his Shiv Sainiks to burn Bombay and kill Muslims in large numbers from the safety of his home, and then later tried to shift the blame on then union defence minister Sharad Pawar. Had it not been for Yuvraj Mohite's affidavit before the Srikrishna Commission, the truth would never have been known – and it is just as well that Mohite loved to tell the tale. For the Sena left no stone unturned to ferret him out from his hiding and kill him to prevent him from turning up in court.
But no government took action against Thackeray. The Srikrishna Commission was dismissed by Chief Minister Manohar Joshi when the Shiv Sena came to power in 1995 but was reinstated by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee during his thirteen day tenure in the hope that that would reduce the BJP's untouchability, even as it was in search of allies to make up its numbers in parliament. Justice Srikrishna submitted the report to the Joshi government in 1998 and while it was not expected that that government would act against its own supremo, even the Congress and the NCP which came to power a year later did not think it worth taking action against the perpetrators of the riots.
Nine hundred people were killed in the riots (less than 300 in the blasts which were a retaliatian for the riots). Thousands of FIRs were launched yet only one man was ever punished – former Shiv Sena MP Madhukar Sarpotdar who got a year in jail for possessing arms and ammunitions in a notified area during the riots. For the same crime Sanjay Dutt has gone to jail for five years – where is the notion of justice for all and injustice to none enshrined in our Constitution?
I do not blame the Courts for any of this, the judges have done their jobs to the best of their capacity, But in this country now you are a terrorist if you are Muslim and a patriot if you are a Hindu committing the same acts of killing innocents and bombing mosques and shrines and trains and buses.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is way off the mark when he complains that the UPA coined the term `Hindu terrorist' and destroyed the reputation of the country. In fact, I believe the emergence of saffron terrorism, though not to be condoned was a great safety valve which came out of the blue to the rescue of the minorities who were otherwise all dismissed as terrorists, negating LK Advani's earlier very arrogant statement – all Muslims may not be terrorists but why are all terrorists Muslims?
That no longer holds valid but now it is high time that the scale of justice are tilted to the balanced position once again from the heavy tilt in favour of rioters and home-grown terrorists from the majority community. A terrorist is a terrorist, a victim is a victim, his or her religion does not matter. What's sauce for the goose should also be sauce for the gander. Otherwise people like Mansoor will suffer silently until the faultlines explode and all of us be imperilled by the lava of that volcano just waiting to burst sooner rather than later. We will all be scorched.
There was a time in the last decade of the 1990s when Bal Thackeray was ranting and screaming blue murder at the Atal Behari Vajpayee government at the Centre. Vajpayee had taken a bus to Lahore (and broght back some goats on it), had invited Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf to Agra, had attempted to build bridges to the minority Muslim community and, at one time, even donned a typical green turban.
I am by no yardstick a saffronist but I am with the late Bal Thackeray on this one.
Writing in my book 'Hindu Hriday Samrat: How the Shiv Sena Changed Mumbai forever' I had said that there were a lot of things that Thackeray said which one could never agree with. But there was no challenging the truth of some of his statements. Thackeray always avowed that he was not against the Abdul Hamids of this country, only against the Dawood Ibrahims. Read more

I must begin by disclosing my vested interest in writing this particular blog post. Some might call it a plug (which in a way it is) but I wished to familiarise a wider readership with Bal Thackeray and what he really was and meant to Bombay and Maharashtra – and that is why I wrote the book "Hindu Hriday Samrat : How the Shiv Sena changed Mumbai forever''.

It is a historical fact and long forgotten bit of history but then history has a way of repeating itself if we forget it, don't they say? Friends are telling me that the 1960s are too far back in time and have no bearing on today's situation but those who have lived through that era recall the similarities between the two movements and how the Shiv Sena had come as a breath of fresh air in the jaded post-Independence era as AAP has done so many decades later.

No 1 Baylor women ready Texas A&M rematch
WACO, Texas Brittney Griner and her teammates didn't like what they saw on film this week.
They were reviewing their last game against Texas A&M, a loss in an NCAA regional final last March. The Aggies, who had lost eight in a row against Baylor, went on to win their first national championship.
Griner said the top-ranked Lady Bears were "disgusted and mad" as they took another look at the loss.
"It's a game everybody has been ready to play since we lost to them last year," Griner said. "Looking at that film ... it was stuff that we did to ourselves, and we realized that."
Baylor (24-0, 11-0 Big 12), the only remaining undefeated team in major college basketball, get its long-awaited rematch Saturday in what coach Kim Mulkey insists will be SEC-bound Texas A&M's last trip to Waco.
When Mulkey was asked before the season if she would schedule the 15th-ranked Aggies (17-5, 8-3) in a non-conference game after they leave the Big 12, she used the comparison of a broken marriage.
"If a man wants to divorce me and says our relationship has no value to him, and then he asks me if he can sleep with me, the answer is, `No!'," Mulkey said then.
Her feelings haven't changed 3 1/2 months later, even though the pending move by Texas A&M and Missouri to the SEC after this season was clearly driven by football.
"About being the last time in Waco, as far as I'm concerned, it will be. I'm not going to play them," Mulkey said. "Speaking for myself, this will be the last time that they'll come to Waco unless there's an NCAA tournament in the future and they get placed here or something."
Last year, the Big 12's top two teams were seeded 1-2 in the same NCAA regional after Baylor had already beaten the Aggies three times during the season. Mulkey didn't like that, either, and she was later reprimanded by the NCAA for complaining about it.
Texas A&M jumped out a 7-0 lead in the regional final and led throughout in a 58-46 victory to get to its first NCAA Final Four
"It's going to be huge motivation for them because we knocked them out of a national championship -- because I think they would have won. I think they were that good," Aggies coach Gary Blair said. "But last year we were pretty doggone good too. (This year), we're still a work in progress."
The Aggies are different this season after the graduations of All-America post player Danielle Adams and point guard Sydney Colson. But they have won four in a row and seven of their last eight.
Baylor, which has won a school-record 36 consecutive home games, is winning by an average margin of 30 points a game this season. The Lady Bears are 6-0 against ranked teams, including wins at home over second-ranked Notre Dame and third-ranked Connecticut.
"They've just earned it. That same team from Baylor is going to be back next year. They don't lose a soul and you might as well get ready for it," Blair said. "Even though we're changing conferences, we'll see each other in the NCAA or somewhere down the line and rivals will continue."
Blair was an assistant coach for two national championships at Louisiana Tech in the early 1980s when Mulkey was the point guard there.
While he knows it will take time to get over the hard feelings of A&M's move, which he believes is more about recruiting than anything, Blair said he expects "eventually everyone will get over those feelings, whether I'm the coach here, or Kim's the coach at Baylor."

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole visited the east Tuesday to talk about improving the country's use of energy.
Dole was at the Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville. She spoke with members of the Pitt County Chamber of Commerce about the economy and how to keep it growing. Dole congratulated the chamber for making Pitt County a great place to live and work. But it was was the economy that really took a stronghold for her. She wants the us to get away from being dependent on foreign oil sources and start offshore drilling.
Dole also praised ECU and the School of Medicine for its Heart Center and the inception of the new Dental School.
