If the "Mother of All Inversions" and DABC craziness weren't enough to drive away the economic benefits of the Outdoor Retailer show and the Sundance Film Festival, the Sutherland Institute is willing to lend a hand by making Utahns look like provincial hayseeds. (Which is pretty accurate, come to think of it.)
Yes, the Sutherland Institute wants the world to believe upright Utahns have their undies in a bunch about Sundance hosting films about pornstars ("Lovelace") and women having affairs with each other's adult sons ("Two Mothers").
Sutherland says the state should pull its funding — about $300,000—from the festival. (Compare that to the estimated $80 million that the annual avant-garde film fest brings into the state.)
It's the usual Sutherland/Eagle Forum hoo-ha: "There are a lot of people here that find that kind of thing objectionable. We are a family friendly state and we endeavor to be so because we value the benefits that strong families bring to society."
First, you'd be hard pressed to find a dozen Utahns who have a problem with Sundance, they just avoid movies they find objectionable and soul killing—just like people I know avoided "Les Miz."
The truth is that the Sutherland Institute periodically issues these idiotic press releases just to prove to its funders that it actually has some impact on the state. It doesn't, besides paying the salaries of a few priggish wonks.
Thus, if the media stops paying attention, it will go away.

I don't mind seeing celebs once in awhile or reading about something great that they're doing to help the world (sarcasm intended). But I DO wish you'd showcase more haircuts that are doable, wearable, practical for us 40+ somethings. Every single one of those celebs has a team to get her ready...and takes hours to do so! I don't have that kind of time, or money. Nor desire, now that I think about it. So, how about a few more "REAL" women; I'm sure that you had lots of entries in your modeling contest, don't some of them have great cuts for all of us (and please, not all of us have long hair!).
Best hairstyles for 2012? So because a celebrity has hair on her head makes it into the "best hair style" category. Why are you so obsessed with everything celebrity? The importance of these people is sooo blown out of proportion. I was hoping More magazine was "more" than the Instlye and all the other magazines out there who idolize celebrities. Why don't you actually show great, current hair styles for the various types of face shapes and ages on non-celebrity models instead of going through an archive to find celebrity heads? I guess that would mean effort.
I cancelled my subscription earlier because I felt your magazine was too obsessed with celebrities. I enjoy reading the comments of your editor who sounds very grounded, intelligent, and normal. And many of your articles follow suit, but then the rest of the magazine focus' on the celebrities. You can't find unknown models for your cover pages? Well, I renewed my subscription in the hopes that there had possibly been some changes, but unfortunately I find that only celebrities rate as important.

Earnhardt rested and ready for Daytona Speedweeks
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 9:10 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Dale Earnhardt Jr. covered a range of topics during NASCAR Media Day and was quick to reiterate his Sprint Cup Series championship aspirations.
"I think we were in the conversation last year, and I'm really excited about how consistent we were last year," Earnhardt said during Thursday's daylong media event at Daytona International Speedway.
Earnhardt said the key, other than solid equipment, is his growing relationship with Steve Letarte, the crew chief of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
"We've been able to improve steadily as me and Steve have worked together," said Earnhardt, the perennial most popular driver award winner. "I hope that's able to continue. I hope we haven't realized our true potential.
"Maybe this year, we improve another notch and we'd be right there where we've been striving to be the last couple of years. It ain't gonna take much to improve from here and be one of the top teams. We feel pretty good about that."
The 38-year-old driver, who won the 2004 Daytona 500, enters the 2013 Cup Series tour with quiet confidence. Not only is he positioned with one of the sport's upper-echelon teams, but he feels comfortable in the new Generation 6 stock car, debuting Saturday in the Sprint Unlimited At Daytona non-points race.
Race teams have been in full scramble putting cars together for Speedweeks. The "Gen 6" cars, which more resemble their street-car namesakes, feature body pieces stamped by the car manufacturers, a competition aspect of NASCAR that Earnhardt says hasn't happened in 20 years.
He said when Hendrick Motorsports came here to test in January that they used "homemade" hoods for the race cars.
"The hardest part is getting the body panels from the manufacturers," he said. "I don't know if they are used to pushing out that kind of production toward the motorsports program. They haven't done that for years, really.
"That process has held everything up. Getting the panels from the manufacturers, getting the deck lids, all of that was running behind, considerably, more than people wanted it to."
That might have spelled trouble for some teams, but not Hendrick, fueled by a small army of mechanics and engineers. All four Hendrick Cup Series teams will have a primary car and a backup machine on the hauler for Speedweeks.
Earnhardt enjoyed his best season since 2008 last year. He posted 20 top-10 finishes and won a race at Michigan to pull out of a four-year losing streak. A late-season concussion knocked him out of the Chase playoffs.
With a clean bill of health and renewed confidence, Earnhardt said it's time for the No. 88 team to take it up to the championship level. The teams just needs to find the missing ingredient.
"It's hard to put your finger on what a team needs," he said. "No matter how close it is or far off it is, it's hard to really put your finger on exactly what you're missing, especially when you work with a company like I do that's got all the parts, pieces, all the personnel, does such a good job delivering the physical race car to you.
"It really comes down to the minds that are in control of everything, me and Steve making the right calls and decisions on the racetrack."

When you especially opt for steam-cooking, this signifies that you want to achieve the absolute top in culinary enjoyment. Steaming guarantees the preservation of subtle aromas, the full flavour and the natural colour of the products/ingredients. In addition, the minerals and vitamins are preserved in an optimal way and all dishes are light.
- Since steaming preserves all flavours in an optimal way, you do not need to add salt. If you do wish to add salt, add it after cooking.
- Frozen or non frozen ready-made dishes can easily be heated in the steamer.
- To avoid lime deposition, clean with vinegar after cooking.
- Choose ingredients of the best quality. Steaming does not mask anything. When the food lacks taste in raw condition, it will also lack taste after steaming!

Strong Third Period Lifts No. 19 Colgate to a 6-1 Win Over Princeton
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (2/21/14) - A four-goal third period gave No. 19 Colgate a 6-1 win over Princeton in men's hockey on Friday, Feb. 21 at Hobey Baker Rink.
Tyson Spink had a hat trick for the Raiders and scored the team's first two goals. His first was the lone goal of the first period. After a battle for the puck in the corner, Kyle Baun came charging in and picked the puck up behind the goal and sent it into the slot for Spink who was all alone for the score.
Senior Jack Berger scored his fifth goal of the season to knot the game at 1-1 midway through the second period. Senior Alec Rush and sophomore Mike Ambrosia assisted on the Tigers goal.
The Raiders quickly regained the lead in the next 1:31 with Spink's second goal. He was assisted by brother Tylor. Tylor collected it along the right boards on the hashmarks of the circle and sent it in on towards the goal. Tyson got his stick on it and sent it five hole to give Colgate a 2-1 lead at the second intermission.
Colgate opened up the game with four straight goals in the third period, by four different scores. Two of those goals came on power-play opportuntities as the Raiders went 2 for 8 and improved to 15-11-5 overall and 11-5-3 in league play.
Freshman Colton Phinney made 39 saves in goal during the first 47:30. He was replaced by junior Ryan Benitez for the final 12:30. Playing in his first collegiate game, Benitez made 11 saves on 12 shots.
Princeton (5-21, 4-15 ECAC) hosts No. 13 Cornell tomorrow, on Senior Day. Game time is at 7 p.m. Princeton will honor its 10 seniors following the conclusion of the game.

MINDY SMITH, THE STATE ROOM, Saturday, 9 p.m., $17
I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since Mindy Smith burst onto the roots-music scene, delivering a stellar version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" on the Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman. In 2004, she released her debut full-length, One Moment More, earning raves for songs like "Come to Jesus." She came to play Suede at Kimball Junction around that time (with Tift Merritt, if memory serves), and I was totally hooked. Somehow, though, while Smith followed up with three more albums, including a new self-titled set that arrived this summer, I didn't follow up well as a fan. I chased down her latest, and it reminded me why I fell for Smith's sound in the first place--that assured voice delivering smart country and folk-tinged tunes should make for a great night at The State Room. Paul Jacobsen opens the show.

Elasticity is the ability of a muscle, or muscle group to exert maximum force in the shortest period of time. It is the combination of both strength and speed movements.
At times in this training program you may perform exercises back-to-back in a manner that yields improvements in your explosiveness. So rather than performing an exercise then stop to recover, we will follow the first exercise with a similar movement to maximize the muscle groups power. For example you could do a set of "Split Squats" then immediately followed by a set of "Split Jumps".

Rated 5 out of 5�by Marvin Great product, even if it is too expensive here I was impressed with this product: not only does it have a durable net and rope/stake system to hold it in place, it also has a bright yellow rope boundary you can stake in place. We thought the birdies were too light, until we started to play and saw that they are perfect -- it's all in the way you hit them. They will travel! (A word of caution: be careful when unpacking the boundary rope; don't just drop it, but take it out carefully. We just dropped it on the ground, expecting to easily pull into out into place, but it tangled so badly that it took us almost an hour to untangle! I realize that this was not the rope's fault...) I do think the kit was too expensive on this website; it was available elsewhere for over $25 less. I purchased it here bc I had a gift card that covered over 50% of the cost, incl. shipping.

I found this bar in a Polish market. I was drawn to it because it was unusual, new, and of course Polish. I need to learn that this can mean very bad things in terms of flavor sometimes. Observing the bar, it seemed to be a log of Polish nougat. I love nougat, so into my basket it went.
Since I cannot understand Polish to save my life, I guessed that these were nougat from the photos on the wrappers. I mean, there was no translation as to what it was. Not even on the import label, which vaguely listed ingredients. I was very thankful to the artist who rendered the image on the wrapper, as it was my candy saving grace. I did drop the ball here on my role as a candy blogger, as I didn't really research this at all. A translator could have cleared up some things for me, but I didn't do it.
Opening the bar up I was distressed and kinda grossed out. I mean, it was greasy. Really, really, really greasy. So much so that there was actual liquid grease all over and spilled onto the table. This…. thing is wet. Sitting in a pool of greasy wetness. Ew.
I realized then that this was halvah and not nougat. Interesting.
The aroma is of nothing. A black hole has more smell than this thing. The texture was light and a little crispy on the inside. The flavor was, like the scent, non existent. It's bland and plastic-y, and the nut and raisin bits were small and intermittent. The only lasting impression was that of the off sticky bits still stuck in my molars.
I didn't finish this. Ick.

Transportation Best Practices: Solving the transportation network puzzle
There's a better way to configure complex transportation networks and fill them with the right sort of hauling capacity. The caveat, however, is that the sheer size and complexity of these networks means technology is required to perform the analytics that enable harvesting the value. Here's how to get it done.
This historical chart shows resurgent cost increases in transportation. Deregulation (price-based costing) provided a once-in-an-eternity benefit from regulation (cost-based pricing); it took a generation, but we have now "eaten all the seed corn."
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
Transportation deregulation was a watershed event, but let's face it, wasn't 1980 a long time ago? We now have a whole generation of supply chain professionals who came along after the regulated era ended. But, really, when it comes to how transportation networks function, not much has changed: Freight comes in from vendors and suppliers, and goes out to customers and end users.
What has evolved is how those networks can be assembled to yield optimal results. Optimal is an overused word, but in this case it's what we seek. But how do we achieve it? Transportation has been balkanized and de-centralized in many organizations, in large part because of history:
• Companies grew through acquisition and the functions of transportation and logistics simply weren't a high priority when it came to re-engineering core processes;
• It was easier to leave things as they were than to stir up established organizations in what were frequently viewed as ancillary functions;
• Communications were fundamentally basic—telephone and FAX—which made viewing a dispersed network in a holistic manner a virtual impossibility.
But things changed at the beginning of this century. The re-engineering craze of the 1990s had run its course. Companies who bought the notion that you should focus on your core business and outsource everything else were now faced with one of Wall Street's favorite questions: "What have you done for me lately?" Those companies began the scramble to find the next round of operating efficiency.
Other things had an impact around that time. Transportation rates had taken a precipitous and sustained nosedive since 1980. While this resulted in a large number of carrier failures, it also pruned the tree of excess capacity, rates began to stabilize, and then, around 2004 to 2005 rates actually started to rise as capacity tightened.
Additionally, the notion of a small core-carrier program was prevalent throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Companies did not have the resources or technology to manage a large amount of carriers, and this made it difficult for shippers to optimize the full capacity of a carriers network because they were working with a limited number of carriers.
Finally, the maturing of the Internet as a global communications device enabled companies to link their own networks together with their supplier and provider networks in unprecedented fashion. It took time for the enabling technology to develop the capabilities that exploit the functionality of the Internet, but the supply chain world is changing radically.
What this means for shippers and consignees, those who consume significant amounts of transportation capacity, is that there's a new—and better—way to configure complex networks and fill those networks with the right sort of hauling capacity. The caveat, however, is that the sheer size and complexity of these networks means technology is required to perform the analytics that enable harvesting the value.
What is Expressive Competition?
The basic theme is actually fairly simple: Carriers and transportation service providers either own or have access to a set of expensive assets. If you view this set of assets as relatively fixed, at least in the short run, everyone in the game has a network of capacity, typically expressed in terms of the lanes they either serve or desire to serve.
The best interest of the carriers is served in putting as much revenue-generating freight in their network as possible so that the capacity is consumed and the assets achieve the highest possible level of utilization. That makes for efficient network operations, the best operating cost characteristics, and the ability to offer the most competitive pricing and still be profitable: It's the perfect competitive scenario.
As a consumer of transportation capacity, those who control freight spend—the shipper or consignee—has a vested interest in facilitating this scenario. By utilizing your service provider's assets as fully as possible, you aid them in reducing their operating costs, which in turn allows them to price more competitively. This is a textbook method for taking costs out of the supply chain.
Having one carrier delivering inbound product and another taking outbound product, or utilizing the same carrier for both legs of the move? Of course, freight flows don't always line up in a neat and orderly fashion.
Historically, many buyers of freight capacity basically said to their carriers: "I have lots of freight, so you need to give me discounted rates to get it." And, post-deregulation, this worked flawlessly as inefficient and financially weak providers simply vanished when they couldn't sustain lower pricing levels.
When capacity began to tighten in 2004-2005—many will remember photos of 100 ships awaiting berthing space at LA/Long Beach, driver shortages, and few rail cars—things began to change and rates began to rise. This was a new phenomenon. Not since before 1980 had anyone seen such a thing.
A new approach was needed. The trick in all of this revolves around what is known as "Expressive Competition." This is based on a simple concept: Service providers know better than anyone where they have excess capacity to fill. In the past, buyers put out requests for rates, usually in discreet bits, frequently by plant, region, mode, and direction (inbound, outbound, etc.)
This was because these exercises needed to be managed in bite-sized chunks due to sheer size and complexity. This left the service providers woefully under-informed about what was really needed, which led to responses that were incomplete, misdirected, or disadvantageous to one or both parties. It was also difficult for shippers to analyze bids and compare apples-to-apples rates as pricing may have reflected different insurance levels, fuel surcharges, and accesorials paid.
In the world of Expressive Competition, the buyer can expose information about the entire network of freight flows however they chose to define it. This allows the service providers to look at those flows and map them efficiently to their own needs. This in turn leads to more competitive pricing because the whole network becomes more operationally efficient. Largely gone are the carriers who have to "take the bad with the good." Untenable economic models are unsustainable for very long, and service providers stuck with bad deals simply wear out on them and either abandon them or serve them poorly, which is not good for either party.
With Expressive Competition, the aim is achieving a basic level of harmony that puts together: The right freight, with the right carriers, for the right service, at the right price.
When done thoughtfully and holistically, the resulting network is cost-effective and sustainable—profitable for buyer and seller alike.

Charges pending for three accused Christmas decoration vandals
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 4:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 4:56 p.m.
Charges are pending against three Davidson County teenagers suspected of vandalizing Christmas decorations and mailboxes in the Reeds, Tyro and Churchland communities.
Davidson County sheriff's deputies began investigating multiple reports of decorations being damaged or stolen from residences on Gleneagle Lane, N.C. Highway 150 South, Lamb Road and Jubilee Road. Yard ornaments and blow-up Santa Clauses were targeted. In many cases, the blow-up Christmas decorations, which included snowmen and snow globes, were slashed, according to incident reports filed in the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Records Division.
Several mailboxes were also damaged on West Center Street Extension, as well as Hobbs and Koontz roads, according to incident reports.
Additionally, a resident reported a lighted deer decoration stolen from a residence on Gleneagle Lane.
Through interviews and the course of the investigation, deputies discovered that three people between the ages of 17 and 19 were responsible for the damages, according to a Davidson County Sheriff's Office press release issued Wednesday afternoon.
The identities of the three individuals have not been released.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said he reminds young people who may be inclined to participate in this type of damage that legal consequences will be imposed when they are caught, according to the press release.

New And Noteworthy...
The Fiji Delegation to the 21st Session of the International Seabed Authority, in its national statement at the Authority's Assembly today, emphasized the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. It called for the Authority to play its part faithfully, doing all it can to ensure that humanity's call for "the future we want" is realized.
Mr Chair,
Ladies and Gentlemen.
We have heard today from the Permanent Representatives of Senegal, Peru, Palau, and Sweden and from Remi Parmentier of the Global Ocean Commission. For many of you, what they have told you today is not news. Those of you who have been immersed in these matters for a while, know the health of our oceans and seas is imperilled.
The Governments of Fiji and Grenada formalized diplomatic relations at a ceremony at the Permanent Mission of Fiji to the United Nations in New York on 23 June 2015. Grenada's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Denis Antoine, and his Fijian counterpart, Ambassador Peter Thomson, signed a joint communiqué establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Now I know you've seen these all over blogland and you probably still think to yourself 'hmm…I'm not sure about that' because I know I did for the longest time. Accuquilt generously sent me this GO! Baby cutter a little while ago and I sat on it for a while, seeing if it actually got used or if it was just a novelty. I ordered the 2 ½" strip die, along with 3 ½" tumblers and drunkards path and hand on heart I have used the strips a lot. I cut my binding to 2 ½" so it's been really handy having this little baby cutter. I also love scrappy binding, so it's been fun using to get through leftovers from finished quilt tops and making (miles of) binding to have on hand for future projects.
The 2 ½" strip can also be cross cut into little squares, and if you follow my personal blog at all you will probably know I have a bit of an obsession with 2 ½" squares. So, for me, the strip die alone has made this GO! Baby cutter worthwhile.
I bet back in the days of scissors and templates people were freaking out about rotary cutters and mats…so I think this little cutie might be the future. Or at least part of it. It is honestly, pinky swear, fun to use and makes light work of cutting. Last night I sat and cut out drunkards path pieces in front of the TV. Super simple, no bending over the table hunched up and complaining, no tricky templates to cut round. Just stack in the GO! Baby and turn the handle. I have a bucket list of dies I want for Christmas. The hexagons and circles are top of the list http://www.accuquilt.com/go-shop/dies/go-baby/go-hexagon-2-3-5.html http://www.accuquilt.com/go-shop/dies/go-baby/go-circle-2-3-5.html I have a feeling they'd make light work of tedious cutting!
I've been promising this tutorial for a while. The basic block for the pillow was in the current issue of Fat Quarterly, but by adding borders and quilting I made a cute 20" pillow to throw on the trunk that I sit on when I'm hand stitching. (And the cat uses as a bed at night)
Ready? Let's go (this is super picture heavy, so I apologize in advance!)
First up grab yourself the necessary supplies. You will need;
- Either 1 charm pack/35 5" squares (I used Bliss by Bonnie and Camille for Moda) or 12 pieces of fabric each measuring 6 x 12"
- 2 fat quarters of co-ordinating fabric (Old New by Lecien)
- 22" square piece of wadding
- 22" square piece of cotton (I used muslin, this is for the lining so won't be seen)
- ½ yard cotton fabric for making an envelope back
- co-ordinating machine sewing/quilting thread
- Accuquilt GO! Baby cutter
- 3 ½" tumbler die
- 6 x 12" cutting mat
- 2 ½" strip cutter
- 6 x 24" cutting mat
- scissors
For my pillow I used a charm pack because I always seem to buy them and never use them up. It works much better if you use 6 x 12" pieces of fabric, as you'll get 3 tumblers per piece, rather than 1 per charm, and only 2 at a time (you can see what I mean in the picture below).
Lay the fabric onto the die, right side up. If you use charms you'll need to 'fill in' the gap for the 3rd tumbler. Just use a little scrap piece of fabric.
Pop the cutting mat on top and roll through the cutter. You do have to apply a little pressure but my 5 yr old managed it no problems.
Now, accuquilt say these dies can cut through 6 layers of fabric. I tried and it works. It was more successful when I used the strip cutter die than this tumbler, but it definitely made light work of cutting up my charm pack!
Aren't they cute?
Even cuter when stacked!
Now, sew them together. You need to lay out 5 rows of 7 tumblers, move them around until you like the way they look and take them in pairs to the sewing machine.
The Accuquilt GO! Baby cutter has a neat trick of trimming your dog ears off, so you know where to match up your blocks. Clever, huh?
Just match up the little notches (or the flat edges in this case) and sew….
Open out and press the seam to one side. See how nice and flat they look?
Rinse and repeat with all the rows…
Now press nice and flat and square up the block.
Press the co-ordinating fat quarters and, using rotary cutter and ruler, cut into 6 x 22" wide strips.
As before, lay the fabric on the die. You really can cut up to 6 layers at a time, so make the most of it! Pop the cutting mat on top and roll through the cutter.
Sew 4 strips around the edges of the tumbler patchwork. Sew the top and bottom first, and then both sides. The remaining strips will be used later, so set them aside for now.
Press well and make a quilt sandwich using the wadding piece and muslin lining fabric. I used my walking foot as a guide and quilted narrow lines running horizontally across the pillow top. My personal preference is a well quilted pillow, it keeps it nice and firm and sits up better. Once quilted square up and trim away excess wadding and lining.
Now prepare your envelope back.
From the ½ yard of fabric cut 2 pieces each measuring 18 X 22".
I took 2 spare strips from the border fabric and folded them in half just as you would to make quilt binding and attached them to the 22" side. As you would attach binding to a quilt, sew the folded strip raw edges together but on the WRONG SIDE of the fabric, then fold over to the right side and machine stitch down.
Lay the quilted pillow top right side down and lay 2 pieces of backing on top, right sides up. Make sure they overlap generously in the middle.
Pin well all the way round. Add extra pins to where the edges of the opening are. Using a zigzag or serging stitch stitch all the way round the pillow edge.
Trim the excess backing away.
Take 4 2 ½" strips and sew end to end to make binding. Press in half along the full length and attach to the pillow as you would a quilt, either finishing by machine or hand.
Sit back and smile. That wasn't a bad way to spend a morning, was it?
You can find out more about the GO! Baby cutter and the other products accuquilt make by heading over to their website http://www.accuquilt.com/ and watch this space for details of a really cool giveaway coming soon!

Forget Gaga's 'Little Monsters', over here at the SLM we kind of have the whole 'cookie monster' thing going on.
If you're a dedicated blog reader, you probably recall us making ourselves sick while meticulously critiqued, consumed and sugar-coma-ed our way into finding some of the best chocolate chippers in the state. (Note: no one in this office touched a chocolate chip cookie for a good four weeks following the cookie-off)
And just this past Monday we found ourselves arguing over the perfect ingredients and methodology to create the chewy-but-crispy, not-too-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cookie. (Cook time? Brown sugar? Brown butter?)
So when editor Jeremy Pugh and Dining Awards panelists were gushing over the ooey-gooey cookies baked up by Bambara in the Hotel Monaco we knew we needed one.... like, right then. Well, good news. As we were live tweeting from the Dining Awards we suggested Chef Powers hook us up with free cookies in honor of their win...
and you better believe they did.
Today only, Bambara is serving hot-n-chewy cookies fresh outta' the oven to anyone who comes in for lunch and mentions their SLM Dining Award Best SLC Lunch win! So, seeing as it's about that time, head on down to Bambara and eat up and tweet us a pic of that cookie!

Shopping center in Lexington near Walmart sold
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
BOSTON | The Roseview Group, a private real estate investment and advisory firm, announced Monday the sale of the Walmart shadowed shopping center totaling 16,740 square feet in Lexington on behalf of a bank advisory client.
The property is located in the main shopping corridor of Lexington on Lowe's Boulevard, next to the Walmart Supercenter.
The retail centers were leased by both national and local tenants, including Shoe Show, Radio Shack, Subway and the U.S. Army. The property was 100 percent leased at the time of sale.
"After widely marketing the property and exposing it to the local and national investment markets, we were able to obtain an offer that was aligned with our client's expectations," said Nigel Keenan, partner at The Roseview Group. "We are pleased that the market responded so favorably and the transaction was successful for both the buyer and seller."
Roseview directed the leasing and management of the center through CBRE. Roseview also engaged a local broker on behalf of the lender and oversaw the preparation of a comprehensive marketing package, as well as an efficient and competitive sale process.
The sale closed Dec. 5, 2012, at a price of $2.55 million. CB Richard Ellis' Mike Burkard and Steve Shields acted as the seller's broker in the transaction.
Roseview is committed to helping lenders accelerate the resolution of nonperforming assets while maximizing the recovery of their shareholders' capital on a risk-adjusted basis.

Troy Newman and I have worked closely together for many years as colleagues in national pro-life leadership. We have collaborated on many projects, including behind the scenes advice and encouragement on many undercover projects, including the most recent one of Planned Parenthood. Troy is completely committed to the principles at the foundation of our movement, including that of non-violence. Those who see him as an enemy do so not because he is some kind of violent fanatic, but precisely because he is effective at what he does, namely, researching the weaknesses of the abortion industry and then using the legal system to make them accountable for their unscrupulous and dangerous practices.
Troy is not being allowed in Australia not because there's something wrong with him, but because there's something wrong with those who are denying him entrance. And we've seen this pattern in other countries too. What tremendous tolerance these governments show to viewpoints and activities that might rip the mask off their mindless devotion to keeping the status quo on the greatest holocaust of human history.
Added to the completely baseless blocking of his international travel is the attempt to prevent him from traveling within the United States. That is simply outrageous, and an immediate correction and apology is needed on the part of whoever made that attempt. The Australian government, needless to say, has no jurisdiction here. Moreover, the American authorities have some explaining to do when they start limiting the movement of their own citizens. And those of us in pro-life leadership will be particularly vigilant regarding any attempt to limit our freedom because some people give too much credence to the smears and slanders that are regularly leveled against us because of our role in leading the movement against abortion. I know what those smears are like, having been the object of public protests organized by sitting government officials, leaders of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Catholics for Choice, and other groups who have accused me of fostering violence.
But as the Lord said, time will prove where wisdom lies.

Jordan Commons held a party and pre-screening of Vampires Suck last night, and fans Ashley and Caitlin went because they are "NOT" fans of Twilight.
"We like to make fun of Twilight, so this is a way to make fun of it," says Ashley. The girls showed up just in time for dunk tans, water balloon throws at Bella's head and a pin the shirt on Jacob game and Edward and Jacob impersonators. Fans also came with their best costumes of characters and vampires. U92 and Mix 107.9 kept the party rolling right before the screening with free concert tickets.
And despite the girls aversion to the franchise, Ashley said she prefers Edward over Caitlin's pick, Jacob.
I love spoof anything-plays, books, movies, but this one is not as accessible to all audiences as the Scary Movies, Naked Guns or even Space Balls.
First you have to see all three Twilight movies out right now, and second, you need to be up on current pop culture. Once you're there, the movie is hilarious and has the same feel as Twilight. aerial shots, shirtless werewolves, the teen angst i-pod mix.
Chock-full of pop references: Dear John, The Vampire Diaries, the Kardashians, Gossip Girl, Jersey Shore, Chris Brown, Jonas Brothers and American Idol. The movie has a target audience in mind. Anyone who enjoyed Twilight is going to love it, and teen vamp fans who prefer other series will nod their heads.
The story follows Becca (Jenn Proske), who falls in love with Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter) in the small vampire town of Sporks, Washington.
Proske's stuttering mockery of Kristen Stewart's natural social awkwardness is awesome. This is what really kept me laughing through most of the movie. Daro (Ken Jeong - doctor from Knocked Up) is the best part of the show. He really is the funniest vampire I remember seeing in a long time.
No wolves in the movie was a disappointment, and it really seemed like a lot (three movies worth of story) was packed into a short amount of time. Maybe it would have been better to spoof each Twilight movie individually, but that means they'd need the cash for it, too.
Good movie for its audience, maybe not for older generations if they're not into it. Now, if I just knew what the crap was with the cactus? You'll see.

Full SubmissionThank you for the opportunity to submit comments on the compilation document to serve as a zero draft for an outcome at the 2012 Earth Summit in Rio. The Center for International Environmental Law offers the following comments: I. Views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap With respect to implementation, it is important to include not only the UN system and its associated nation stales but also international financial institutions (particularly the Bretton Woods institutions, of which only the World Bank is recognized as a specialized agency of the UN), civil society (including the recognized major groups), and the international trade regime. Within the UN system, it is vital to consider not only the different UN agencies and multilateral environmental agreements but also the overall UN human rights system as an anchor component for sustainable development. First, with respect to international financial institutions, any Rio+20 outcome should address the relationship between the UN and Bretton Woods institutions .such as the World Bank. Given that the World Bank is a specialized agency of the UN, the outcome should make clear that international instruments (including, but not limited to, multilateral environmental agreements such as the UNFCCC, CBD, and CCD; human lights obligations; and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) must be respected and supported by international financial institutions in the fulfillment of their mandates. Second, within the UN system; UN agencies need to improve their institutional approaches to addressing and implementing international obligations. Opportunities in this area to address the implementation gap include supporting efforts by UN agencies to create and maintain institutional safeguards grievance mechanisms, consistent with relevant international obligations. Third, as regards major groups, the 1992 Earth Summit was a landmark moment for the major groups recognized as integral stakeholders lo negotiations. The ability of NGOs, women, youth, and others to take the floor alongside countries was formally recognized as a part of the Rio process and has had important implications for public participation generally. Likewise, improved access to information was an important outcome of Agenda 21. Implementation has had mixed success, with some fora increasingly opening participation to major groups while in others participation has been limited The experiences of civil society should be recognized as relevant and vital contributions in any process. Rio+20 gives us a chance to reaffirm these important principles of transparency, access to information, and participation and support increased opportunities for civil society generally, and potentially impacted communities specifically, to engage in participatory monitoring and assist with reporting information to the global community. Two themes crucially important to this implementation gap are accountability and finance. a. Accountability It is crucial that any discussions of institutional governance support enhanced accountability in the sense that institutions must be responsible for their actions (including unintended adverse impacts) and responsive to concerns raised in the implementation of activities. Accountability should cover the full panoply of actors. This includes governments and corresponding international obligations and compliance regimes. It also includes international organizations, including environmental and social safeguard policies, accountability mechanisms, and international dispute settlement mechanisms. Accountability also pertains to non-state actors, particularly corporations (including compliance considerations, corporate policies, and financial institutions) but also labor unions, certification organizations, NGOs, and others. Indeed, the rise of globalization and its associated empowerment of international corporations, means that increasingly non-stale actors play a greater role in development with less historical accountability for its associated impacts. For concrete actions related to accountability, at. Rio 2012, Heads of State should: (1) recognize and emphasize the need for increased accountability - domestically and internationally - in order to address the serious problems facing human society and make progress toward sustainable development, in particular by increasing implementation and effectiveness of commitments and obligations, in a world of multiple actors and different types of commitments; and (2) strongly endorse domestic and international actions to achieve this. Additionally, Rio 2012 should provide space for dialogue to improve clarity on the application of extraterritorial obligations. b. Finance Financial resources for implementation of obligations have fallen far short of what assessments indicate arc required. Additional resources must be mobilized. For example, the Parties to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) identified an estimated $4.5 billion USD needed for financial resources and Technical assistance. However, the 5th replenishment of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF 5). the only financial mechanism of the Stockholm Convention, allocated merely S375 million USD for POPs (U.S. $425 for Chemicals overall). Given historical trends, this will typically leverage about $700 million USD in co-financing. Recognizing the need for greater information regarding challenges on the implementation of treaty obligations, the funding gap is substantial and unlikely to be closed simply by a reduction of implementation barriers and inefficiencies. This funding gap is not unique to chemicals. For example, while costs for limiting global warming to a two degree target vary widely, annual amounts of $100 billion USD have been identified as a minimum estimate needed, with delay compounding the cost of both mitigation and adaptation. A portion of the financing has been committed, but the timing, source and hence impact of these funds is still to be determined. Given resource limitations, integrating human rights considerations into the prioritization of resource allocation is essential. II. Specific Elements a. Objective of the conference CIEL sees particular opportunities in the following sectors: 1. Human rights Earth Summit 2012 gives us a chance to consider rights and ecosystems together, both from an institutional governance perspective and in the green economy context. Institutionally, the UN system mandates a rights-based approach and any green economy must also respect human rights. The linkages between a green economy and environment mirror those that exist between governance and human Tights. Accordingly, identifying and strengthening the links between the green economy and governance also calls for a deepening of the relationship between human rights and the environment. In this regard, Rio2012 has before it a binary choice: either it makes progress on the linkages between human rights and the environment or it will take a step back. A missed opportunity in Rio 2012 would be most regrettable, not only given the theme of the conference and the progress already made in identifying the human rights and environment linkages, but also because the planet requires the development of new tools to secure global environmental justice. Rio 2012 must take decisive steps toward the recognition of the right to environment. 2. REDD+ Early on in the Rio+20 negotiations, REDD+ was cited as a unique area in which UN institutions and the World Bank are collaborating. Indeed, negotiation of a common approach to REDD+ between the World Bank, UN institutions, and other multilateral development banks, provided a novel opportunity to consider accountability and specific social and environmental protections in the context of institutional governance. Similarly, Rio+20 offers an opportunity to further address how UNFCCC obligations (including REDD+ safeguards), UNDRIP, CBD REDD safeguards, and human rights treaties can be respected throughout the implementation of REDD+. In addition to safeguards being elaborated within the UNFCCC, the CBD is also developing safeguards for REDD. Given that both the CBD and UNFCCC arc Rio conventions, it is important to ensure coherence between these two conventions, particularly for REDD+. Biodiversity should not be adversely affected in efforts to address climate change and the safeguards developed by each regime should be mutually respected and supported to ensure sustainable development. Additionally, beyond die particular REDD+ safeguards, Rio+20 provides an opportunity for other institutions (such as the UNFCCC) to learn how the CBD has negotiated and implemented access to benefit sharing and FP1C7P1C. Regarding coherence and linkages across institutions related to REDD+ activities, CIEL believes that successful efforts to reduce deforestation require clear and equitable rights. We thus find troubling the statements by some actors within the UNFCCC that it is a climate convention and not a human rights convention. Nor does the World Bank directly respect human rights obligations. Unfortunately, that narrow focus and short-sighted perspective threatens to compromise results. There are very few places where we can have a discussion across these regimes on how rights should be respected. REDD+ efforts will benefit if we can improve the global understanding of-and support for-the rights of forest-dependent local communities. Rio+20 provides an opportunity to affirm the broadly recognized need to respect international obligations in the implementation of REDD+ and other sustainable development activities. b. Green Economy Experience to date indicates that the economic pillar has historically outweighed the social and environmental pillars. Consequently, economic development has often had the effect of exacerbating inequality and creating human health risks by ineffectively addressing environmental risks. One way this has been addressed in the past is through safeguards systems' at international institutions, and particularly at the Bretton Woods institutions. The UN system has an opportunity to build on these lessons learned and to consider what institutional policies for UN agencies can minimize social and environmental harms while maximizing benefits. Specifically, UN agencies can develop institutional safeguards and improve internal accountability in order to enhance sustainable development outcomes. This will be discussed further in the institutional framework section below. One particular sectoral element of the green economy that Rio+20 could consider is the use of technology to promote innovation in the developed world. The ability for intellectual property to serve as a barrier to the transfer of technologies to the global South on fair and reasonable terms is a highly sensitive issue and well documented in certain contexts. In addition, sensitivities also exist around the patenting of genetic resources and traditional knowledge originating with indigenous peoples, local communities, or the developing world at large. These issues not only risk the delay the transition to a balanced green economy, but also risk undermining the integrity of international conventions, for example if restrictions are used by intellectual property rights-holders to gain market share for higher-priced proprietary technologies. Temporary resolutions have emerged; however, broader reform of innovation policies is necessary to advance a green economy, by both maintaining incentives for innovation without sacrificing access to beneficial technologies. Rio+20 could contribute to the beneficial use of technologies for sustainable development by identifying and supporting options beyond intellectual property rights to spur innovation. c. Institutional framework for sustainable development Promoting linkages across institutions and enhancing accountability within institutions should be a central theme to strengthening implementation and integration of the three pillars and at multiple levels. It is important to consider how these institutions, as well as the objectives and outcomes of the Rio+20 conference, will feed into the Millennium Development Goals. We must avoid a "race to the bottom," in which the institutions with the weakest standards are the ones selected to implement sustainable development activities. The GEF, UNFCCC, and some UN agencies are now developing new safeguards and accountability systems (including grievance mechanisms). In this vein, Rio+20 provides an opportunity to consider safeguards as part of institutional governance discussions, and indeed safeguards have already been raised as a part of die 2012 Earth Summit negotiations. Generally speaking, UN institutions lack the detailed safeguards developed by the international financial institutions. Rio+20 has an opportunity to support enhanced safeguards systems at international institutions that respect rights and ecosystems. Notably, where this would apply within the UN itself, this kind of mandate would not require a treaty-level outcome to make it happen, which could facilitate implementation of such a decision.

Wrestling Opens Home Weekend With Win, Prepares For Ivy Duo Saturday
LIVE RESULTS: Brown l Harvard
LIVE VIDEO: all matches
TWITTER: Princeton Wrestling l Princeton Athletics
Princeton opened its Wrestling Alumni Weekend with its second straight victory of the season Friday night. Going against a shorthanded Sacred Heart squad, led by former Princeton assistant coach Andy Lausier, the Tigers won four of five contested matches for a 22-4 win.
Princeton opened with a technical fall from freshman Max Rogers, who topped Joe Harris 18-3 at 125. After a Sacred Heart win at 133, freshman Kevin Moylan picked up a 16-0 technical fall at 141.
Following a pair of double forfeits and a forfeit win for Brandon Rolnick at 157, Princeton's Grayson Shepperd picked up a hard-fought 7-4 win at 174. Co-captain Dan Santoro capped the match with an 8-5 win at 197.
On Saturday, Princeton will face a pair of Ivy League opponents when it hosts Brown at 10 am and Harvard at 2:30 pm.
Brown is 6-5 on the season and is led by sophomore Ophir Bernstein, who has 14 victories at 184 pounds. Junior Billy Watterson has 12 wins at 125 pounds; Watterson was a 2012 EIWA semifinalist, though he was pinned by Princeton's Garrett Frey in the third period.
Princeton has won two of the last three meetings with Brown, though the Bears rallied with four pins in the final five matches last season to capture a 28-21 home victory. In the last meeting at Dillon Gym, Princeton needed to win five of the final six matches to claim the team win. Both Santoro and Charles Fox earned 3-1 wins in the final two matches to clinch the 21-16 win.
Harvard is 2-4 on the season, though it pushed seventh-ranked Cornell two weeks ago in a 24-15 loss. The Crimson has a pair of wrestlers with legitimate All-America aspirations. Senior Walter Peppelman has more than 100 career wins and is currently ranked eighth at 157 pounds, while classmate Steven Keith has a team-best 22 wins this season and is ranked 13th at 141. Junior Cameron Croy is unranked at 174, though he has 21 wins this year.
The Harvard-Princeton rivalry has been dominated by the road team over the last four years. Last season, Daniel Kolodzik scored a major decision over Peppelman to lead the Tigers to a 25-14 win over the Crimson; that victory pushed Kolodzik to a spot on the All-Ivy League first team.
Princeton will be looking to continue building momentum into the heart of February and, ultimately, the EIWA Championships (Mar. 8-9 at Rutgers). Freshman Scott Gibbons can hit the 20-win mark with two victories this weekend, while Santoro, a hero in the Brown dual two seasons ago, has won eight of his last 10 matches.
