Argentina, 2012, 87 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Romance
Programs: Focus on Nation Cinema: Argentina, New Directors ShowcaseLanguage: Spanish English Sub-Titles
Brothers Pablo and Diego Levy direct this distinctly Argentine comedy. A bungled attempt at credit-card fraud leads Mariano to dump his beloved vintage auto; eventually, a vagrant makes the car his home.
Masterplan is the second feature from the Levy brothers, whose debut, Novias Madrinas 15 Años, was a hit in Argentina. Here, groom-to-be Mariano (a brilliantly deadpan Alan Sabbaugh) is persuaded by his future brother-in-law (co-director Pablo Levy) to take part in a credit-card-fraud scheme. When the crime is bungled, Mariano is forced to abandon his Siam Di Tella (one of the few cars made in Argentina in the 1960s), but is heartsick about it. As the circle of lies widens, he grows increasingly anxious about being caught. Meanwhile, Andrés, a down-on-his-luck vagrant, takes up residence in the car. (Andrés is played by Andrés Calabria, whom fans will recognize from the directors' previous work.)
With his wedding fast approaching, Mariano begins to wonder whether the life of a married man is really the life he wants, and finds himself visiting his car and its new inhabitant. Soon, the two men become friends, and this odd couple shows us what the film is really about: a compassion for humanity and what it means to be a bien Porteño.

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop died at the age of 96. As the nation's leading spokesperson on public health during the Reagan administration, Koop became perhaps the best-known surgeon general in history. He focused America's attention on the growing aids epidemic and he railed against smoking.
In fact he said nicotine is just as addictive as heroin or cocaine. C. Everett Koop described himself as "the health conscience of the country." He died in Hanover, New Hampshire where he had a home.
Koop was a graduate of Dartmouth College.
As of Monday, no cause of death had been released.

12 Dirty Talk Fails
In a nonsexual setting, lightly trace your fingertips in unpredictable patterns against his arm, his lower back, or even his thigh (like, say, when he's driving). Guys go nuts for unexpected touches because they never know where you're going to put your hands next. And the vaguely sexual touches in public will feel naughty for both of you, leaving you both eager to get back home, where raunchy behavior is not only okay, it's encouraged.
Hugs, kisses, booty swats, shoulder rubsthe more loving touches you give your partner, the more oxytocin you'll both release into your bloodstream. Known as the cuddle hormone, it will boost the feelings of intimacy between you, guaranteeing that you'll feel less like roommates and more like honeymooners.

Assault on freedom a bipartisan affair

I'm afraid sir that I have proven you wrong, using the words from Justice Marshall in doing so.according to the 4th Amendment, illegal search and seizures are expressly forbidden. According to Chief Justice Marshall, that voids any implied power under the Necessary and Proper Clause.

"We admit, as all must admit, that the powers of the Government are limited, and that its limits are not to be transcended. But we think the sound construction of the Constitution must allow to the national legislature that discretion with respect to the means by which the powers it confers are to be carried into execution which will enable that body to perform the high duties assigned to it in the manner most beneficial to the people. Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional."
Those are Chief Justice Marshall's words in his opinion regarding McCullough v Maryland. Note the phrase "which are not prohibited" and then compare that to the text of the 4th Amendment.
As I said, nice try Guy.

Sorry Guy but you're wrong. The Necessary and Proper Clause, even using the more liberal version favored by Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall does not authorize Congress to deny specifically states Constitutional Rights. That's so far out that you can't even call it a stretch, you have to refer to it for what it is, pure and utter BS. Nice try though.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Chief Justice John Marshall,in his classic opinion in McCulloch v. Maryland,established the Necessary and Proper Clause in Article I,section8,clause 18 of the Constitution, which is an enlargement ,not a constriction of the powers expressly granted to Congress, which enables lawmakers to select any means reasonably adapted to effectuate those powers. This includes conspiring to injure a citizen in the free exercise of enjoyment of any right of privilege secured in the laws of the United States.

No, I am a student of history which is why your comments are BS. History has proven that when governments start taking rights from citizens, they are not inherently safer. The 4th Amendment does not lose its meaning simply because someone is fighting a slogan and any who believe it does is trying to advance an agenda that does not jive with the Constitution.
In testimony by proven liar James Clapper, Senator Lindsey Graham stated ""I'm a Verizon customer. I could care less if they're looking at my phone records. ... If you're not getting a call from a terrorist organization, you got nothing to worry about."
I much prefer the 4th Amendment that forces the burden of proof where it belongs, with the Government. That's the principle the United States of America was founded on and one I STILL believe in today. Anything else is BS.

It is not BS. Obviously you are sadly an illiterate of history,thus making your intellectually deficient comments reprehensible. Strict constructionism(advocated by Thomas Jefferson and states righters) of the constitution is widely accepted among the powers that be and the bulk of the populace during peacetime. However, loose constructionism(advocated by Alexander Hamilton and Federalists) of the constitution is widely used by the powers that be in times of perceived turmoil and instability threatening our government. Hence,during peacetime we accept states rights form of governmental control,while accepting a larger and more responsible federal government in times of instability,

"...monitoring the activity of designated American citizens take priority over the civil liberties protection argument."
That argument was made in 1920's Russia and 1930's Germany but it doesn't jive with the Constitution of the United States of America.

Gridiron you spoke my thoughts exactly. Heavens forbid if a Republican agrees with a Democrat. First of all, the nation's founders like Franklin and Jefferson didn't have I-PHONES. This is just another creation of warped and distorted Right Wing attempts to bring down the now soaring Obama Administration. Our liberty has not been jeprodized in any manner by this collection of phone call records. This investigative data was collected by the Bush administration as well, but you may note that this article makes NO MENTION OF THAT FACT!!!

O'Reilly and Franken Spar at Book Show
Monday, June 02, 2003
By Amy C. Sims
NEW YORK A booksellers' luncheon isn't the place you'd expect to hear a shouting match, but Al Franken (search) and Bill O'Reilly (search) got into a verbal war Saturday at BookExpo America in Los Angeles.
During the luncheon, which was broadcast live on C-SPAN, political humorist Franken took to the podium pushing his upcoming release Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (October 2003) in which he questions statements made by author Ann Coulter and O'Reilly, the host of Fox News Channel's highest-rated program, among others.
Franken launched an in-depth attack on O'Reilly, who was also on the panel to discuss his upcoming release, Who's Looking Out for You Now? (September 2003) about his statements in the past that his previous employer Inside Edition, a TV news magazine, had won the prestigious Peabody Award.
Franken said he looked into the claims that the show had won such an award and found no record of it. O'Reilly later told him he had misspoke and it was a Polk Award that was given to the show, not a Peabody.
As the book industry crowd nervously laughed at the unexpected showdown unfolding before them Franken chided: "Dont you think its odd you got it wrong about a journalism award?
But O'Reilly shot back at his attacker. "This guy accuses me of being a liar, ladies and gentlemen, on national television," O'Reilly said. "He's vicious, and that's with a capital V, a person who's blinded by ideology.
"All he's got in six and a half years is that I misspoke, that I labeled a Polk Award a Peabody."
As O'Reilly laid his case, Franken tried to interrupt but was immediately stopped.
"Shut up! You had your 35 minutes. Shut up," O'Reilly said. "We're supposed to be on here for 15 minutes and this idiot goes 35."
Franken snapped back: "This isn't your show Bill," creating an uproar from the crowd.
BookExpo moderator and former Democratic Rep. Pat Schroeder seemed just as surprised by the spectacle as the lunch crowd.
"I think I need a whistle and a striped shirt here," she said, laughing. "Im not meant to be a referee.

Robert Kee: A Tribute
January 14, 2013
Nora Connolly
Robert Kee the brilliant journalist, historian and campaigner for justice has sadly died aged 93. Kee the quintessential British liberal was also an establishment figure who along with others became involved in the setting up of TV–am in the early 1980s. Robert Kee was friends with the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire's and the Dowager wrote a glowing testimony of Kee in her memories. Which highlighted Kee`s outstanding intelligence and communication skills. She mentioned Kee`s work with Panorama pointing out that the BBC was lucky to find someone of his calibre. Those viewing any broadcasts by Kee would have to agree with this assessment. Robert Kee spent a long time in Ireland and was a regular visitor to the Devonshire`s Irish estate, Lismore Castle. He rubbed shoulders with the aristocracy but he was no establishment toady and did not allow his grand association`s to debase an overwhelming desire to strive for truth and justice, as his publication `Trial and Error` illustrates. A book which helped bring the disgraceful miscarriage of justice concerning the `Guilford Four` and `Maguire Seven` to public prominence. The book also unddoubtly helped to right judicial wrongs and for this reason alone Robert Kee should be warmly remembered today by all striving for fairness and justice.
Robert Kee also wrote an important biography of Charles Stewart Parnell the `Laurel and the Ivy` but Kee had a vast hinterland to draw upon, he was a war hero a bomber pilot for the RAF, who was shot down over occupied Europe. He become a prisoner of war a role he occupied stoically writing about his experience in his critically acclaimed `A Crowd is not Company`. Read more of this post

Topic: Laugh at Cancer
This was sent to me a while ago. I thought I'd share it with you. It was written for a young woman who was battling cancer for the second time. (I don't know what happened to her)
Cancer is not funny, but laughter is the best medicine!
Why would I laugh at cancer?
Sounds like and honest question, doesn't it? The short answer: Terrorism. If you don't laugh at cancer, the terrorists win. Huh? Hang on, before you write me off as some sort of deranged, paint-sniffing lunatic, let me attempt to elaborate:
When I say terrorists, I'm not talking about those blood thirsty radical extremists with a penchant for blowing stuff, as well as themselves, up...no. I'm talking about those mischievous little cancer cells which have attempted to hijack your body. Much like their real world counterparts, cancer thrives on fear and uncertainty. When you take all the dread and uncertaintude away, cancer loses much of it's power and influence inside the microcosm that is your body.
Lastly, and most importantly, cancer (similar to terrorists) hates to be laughed ar, to be denied the respect and recognition of a dangerous and worthy adversary. A wiser man than I once said "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" If cancer detestss the joyous sounds of laughter and the positive emotions they accompany, then you can be sure laughter will be a formidable ally in your battle against cancer. That should be enough reason to laugh it up at cancer's expense.
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

Kids will love to play "super shapes" just like Geo!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Measure your kid's waist, add 3 to 4 inches to that number, and cut out from the orange felt yardage a matching strip of equal length. Set aside the belt base.
From yellow and green felt sheets, cut out various shapes at around the same size, not exceeding the belt's height. Suggested shapes: triangle, square, circle, pentagon, hexagon, oval, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, or octagon.
Evenly distribute the shapes along the belt and glue them down with fabric glue. Leave 3 to 4 inches blank at the end of the belt for the overlapping part.
To make the belt an interactive math tool, instead of gluing down the shapes, apply a piece of self-adhesive "hook" fastener (Velcro) to the back of each shape. Press the shapes down onto the belt (no "loop" fastener is needed). "Hooks" at the back of the shapes will allow your child to freely arrange the shapes and create/repeat any pattern on the belt.
At the top of the belt, place a piece of "hook" on the inside.
Put the belt on your preschooler and let the math journey begin!

WASHINGTON (October 26, 2012)--Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said a U.S. Commerce Department report released Friday on the nation's economic growth is discouraging.
The Commerce Department reported Friday that the U.S. economy expanded at a slightly faster 2 percent annual rate from July through September, but Romney suggested that pickup wasn't sufficient to create enough jobs and improve take-home pay and argued he would do better.
The report came as the GOP nominee prepared to deliver an economic speech in the swing state of Iowa.
Romney is focusing on the public's economic concerns heading into the final days of the campaign as polls suggest Americans say they trust him more than President Barack Obama to handle the issue.

This toy review is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador, Valerie Deneen. Connect with your kids by playing new and fun games together!
We have been having so much FUN with a new balancing strategy game by Melissa & Doug called Suspend! What a great family game for kids ages 8 and up — parents will definitely enjoy it too! As soon as my daughter spotted a photo of Suspend, she could not wait to give it a try!
The concept is simple: Players take turns rolling a colored die to see which colored rod to place on top of the balancing pile without knocking the rods down. So much fun!!
I love how each time Suspend is played, different scenarios are built — a really effective way to introduce kids to the concepts of form and balance. Since you only need about 5-10 minutes to play, it's the perfect activity for my daughter to enjoy some quality time with her dad before he leaves for work in the morning.
If you play carefully, you may even end up with a unique sculpture!
I'm not sure who's having more fun with this — my daughter, or my husband!!
Here's a short video of Suspend…. in action!
Valerie Deneen is a Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador and the author of Inner Child Fun where she inspires parents to spend more quality time with their kids, and less money doing it. Inner Child Fun celebrates simple pleasures for all ages — with more than 1,000 frugal and creative projects that are sure to bring out the "kid" in you too!

Turpial 2.0 alpha 1 available in devel ppa
It seems like old news, but Turpial 2.0 alpha 1 is available in de turpial-devel ppa for quantal only. It comes with many features and a new approach. The core libreary is a python wrapper that provides support for identi.ca and twitter, it is called libturpial. It is ideal if you like python and you need a library for playing with microblogging APIs.
The new interface provides more flexibility as it uses webkit wrapped in a gtk frame. It also provides integration with unity. It needs more Message Menu integration. but the future looks pretty bright, as Turpial 3.0 will take what is learned with the WebKit features and start developing native solutions to all the platforms it reaches.
Turpial has gathered forces and now is looking to take over the world, Please do help in making this happen if you have love for the little oriole that can certainly be big.
I personally think Turpial is still lightweight but needs more polish and testing, bugs are welcome. If you install this version, join the mailing list for support.
Keep an eye out for more updates soon.

Patrick Schwarzenegger seems like a humble, down-to-earth teen who, despite having one of the world's most famous last names, doesn't seem to feel he has a sense of entitlement.
Just kidding.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's 19-year-old son was booted Saturday night from the Sayers Club in Los Angeles for unknown reasons, according to TMZ. Though it might have to do with his rant outside the club, caught by TMZ's cameras, which showed Schwarzenegger threatening to go back in and "beat the (expletive) out of the DJ."
The son of the actor and former California governor, and ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift, loudly ranted to a group of friends, "Everyone around me wants to beat the (expletive) out of the DJ (TMZ reported it sounded like he said 'gay boy' at this point), I'll beat the (expletive) out of him. He kicks everybody out of his table, losing money for the club, losing money for the owner."
Uh, technically the Sayers Club is also a bar. Patrick Schwarzenegger is 19. People can't legally go to bars in California unless they are at least 21. The Sayers Club is in Los Angeles, which is in California, so ... you do the math.
Putting an exclamation point on the whole silly scene, Schwarzenegger then tried to get into an SUV to leave, yet reportedly got denied by the driver, causing the lad to condescendingly (according to TMZ) wave his hand in the driver's face.

What made you decide to collaborate with Lake Bell, and how does her style align with the Botkier aesthetic?
I am a huge Lake Bell fan. She's a native New Yorker like me and we vibe on many levels. Lake has a fantastic aesthetic and her style is strong, effortlessly cool. Botkier is all about high design, function meets fashion. Lake really wanted to use beautiful browns and neutrals with sleek but quiet hardware, nothing too frilly! We both love seventies vintage and created this silhouette that is both fresh and classic.
Can you tell us a little about the inspiration behind the bag's design?
Creatively we were in sync immediately. We talked about designing a bag that wasn't too big, easily worn cross-body but also top handle, very seventies inspired. Vintage and modern that will look more beautiful the more you wear it. She really loved the idea of color blocking and this is totally on trend.
This is not the first time you've paired up with a celebrity to benefit Oxfam International. Past collaborations have included Michelle Trachtenberg, Minnie Driver, and Joy Bryant. What has made each collaboration special?
Each of these woman are incredibly talented and dynamic and want to give back. This Botkier x Oxfam collaboration is the perfect way to express ourselves creatively, work with people we respect while doing something good! Each of these celebs have a unique point of view and style that I really admire.
Why do you feel Oxfam International is an important organization to support?
Oxfam is a global reaching charity that fights poverty, focusing on women and environmental issues. Right now in particular I feel there is a need for outreach on this level. What's unique about Oxfam is that their reach is so wide they are able to help people around the world at local levels.

A federal appeals court has reversed a lower court ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in a case with wide-ranging ramifications.
Not long after President Barack Obama took office, his EPA revoked a permit for a surface mine in Logan County. The permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Spruce No. 1 mine already had been granted in 2007 by the Army Corps of Engineers.
However, soon after the Obama administration came into office, the EPA declared it had the power to retroactively veto coal mining pollution permits, which it did in this case.
As has been noted, the EPA action will be chilling for all economic development, not just mining. It means no one can ever be certain a federal permit or license, once granted, cannot be revoked with no new evidence in addition to that already submitted successfully to the government.
Yet this week, an appeals court ruled the EPA can do just that, stating the statute "expressly empowers (the EPA administrator) to prohibit, restrict or withdraw the specification 'whenever' he makes a determination that the statutory 'unacceptable adverse effect' will result."
That ruling should be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, Congress should curb the EPA's power.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Dwayne Romero, president of Related Colorado, announced this week that he will run for Aspen City Council in the upcoming May election there.
Romero joins Art Daily as the second Aspen resident to announce his candidacy for City Council. There are two open seats on the council in the May election.
Romero served on Aspen City Council following a win in the May 2007 election. He left the council in January 2011 after Gov. John Hickenlooper appointed him as executive director of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. He left after six months on the job and currently is president of Related Colorado, which owns commercial and lodging properties in Base Village, the Snowmass Mall and Snowmass Center.
Romero is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and served in the U.S. Army for seven years, both stateside as a planning and operations officer for the Corps of Engineers and in a leadership role in combat in the Persian Gulf War. He also has earned his Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School.
So far, Adam Frisch, Steve Skadron and Torre, all members of the Aspen City Council, have formally announced a run for Aspen's mayoral seat. Current Mayor Mick Ireland can't run because of term limits, and he has yet to make an announcement about whether he will run for a seat on the City Council.

Yarn Profile: Binario
First Impressions
This isn't your average ho-hum yarn. It's a component yarn made on an industrial weaving loom. Two thin strands are regularly joined by square flag-like protrusions, much like a ladder.
Not only is the texture interesting, but the yarn itself is dyed an exquisite blend of colors that change quickly from inch to inch. The end result, while not conventionally fluffy or soft, is intoxicating.
Knitting Up
The flatness of its flag-like spots reminded me of that troublesome chenille, but it was always followed by the extremely flexible flagless portions of the yarn. I'll admit it was disconcerting, especially at the beginning.
This variation in texture resulted in uneven stitches. At first I tried to align each stitch so that the yarn lay flat, like a ribbon. Then I gave up and let it do its thing, which was by far the wisest option.
You will need to concentrate when knitting with Binario. It's extremely easy to snag the wrong strand by mistake. You can use the colors to "read" which stitch is the right one.
If you discover a dropped stitch at some point, take two aspirins before proceeding. It's not impossible, but it's definitely not something you'd want a rank beginner to experience.
Blocking / Washing
I couldn't get any of the vibrant colors in my swatches to bleed, no matter how hot the water or ample the soap. I consider the colors an integral part of Binario's attraction, so this colorfastness is important.
Once my swatches were laid out and gently rearranged into shape, they dried perfectly. The "confused" texture I talked about earlier was completely gone. The swatches had flattened beautifully, yet they retained the visual complexity of handmade paper.
That's when I decided Binario deserved a thumbs up.
The yarn took an unbelievable beating without ever showing signs of exhaustion. At most, a simple tug here and there pulled all the elements back into shape.
From a sensory perspective, Binario has the cool, slightly abrasive feeling of synthetic yarn. This would only be troublesome in areas where a garment comes into frequent contact with the skin, such as on your elbows.
For me, Binario's sublime drape all but compensated for any roughness of texture. You'll need to wear something underneath your garment anyway because of the yarn's transparent tendencies.
It's a difficult yarn, and, had I used it for my very first project, I probably would've given up knitting altogether.
But knitting isn't always about doing things quickly and easily.
Sometimes you want to dig into a challenging project that will take time but produce stunning results. If that's the case, do consider Binario.

SANTA CLARA -- Jim Harbaugh's band of merry mighty men was missing a few members at the start of this mandatory minicamp Tuesday.
Everybody wasn't on the same page, apparently. The big 49ers bandwagon had some notable no-shows.
And right now, for the first time in the Harbaugh Era, maybe a few 49ers folks are wondering if somebody out there really does have it better than them.
The facts: Tight end Vernon Davis and guard Alex Boone skipped Tuesday's minicamp opener to protest their current contracts, and cornerback Eric Wright surprisingly decided to retire.
These aren't unique events in the NFL or sports, but for this franchise, under this coach, it's a new wrinkle and sets a little bit of a different tone in 49ersland.
And yes, Camp Counselor Harbaugh noticed it and sounded just as frustrated as you would expect.
"I'm disappointed in that decision, for them not to be here," Harbaugh said of the absences by Davis and Boone.
"Not the decision that I envision being the 49er Way. Really nothing more to be said about it than: The focus will be on what's going on here."
Of course, it is only a June minicamp, and of course dozens of other talented 49ers players showed up to do the work and follow Harbaugh's orders.
The 49ers are still very good, and whatever happens with Davis and Boone, this team will be a Super Bowl contender in 2014.
Anyway, it's likely that Davis and Boone both will be back in camp before the start of the regular season, whether or not the 49ers make any financial concessions to either.
"We'll address it," Harbaugh said. "And it'll come to a resolution. That's the deal that it is."
However, the 49ers just haven't experienced anything like this since Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke began the franchise's revival in 2011.
The 49ers have won games, worked in the trenches together, acquired talent, reached financial agreements quickly . . . and embraced Harbaugh's ideal of "the team" taking precedence over all individual rewards.
There have been little moments of discord here or there, but those were always doused quickly, or the offenders sent away in a blink.
The Harbaugh/Baalke 49ers have never gone through something like this -- two foundation players intentionally missing mandatory practice time while they are both under contract for two more years.
"Yeah, I think this is the first time," fullback Bruce Miller said of the unique experience of watching two teammates hold out in the Harbaugh era.
"Hopefully they get it figured out, get it settled and can come join us."
Once again, it's unlikely that Davis and Boone will continue their walkouts into the regular season; that would just cost them too much money.
For now, they can skip the offseason work and make their points while their fines are limited.
But it's also probably just as likely that 49ers management will refuse to give in to the holdout challenge. If Davis and Boone come back, they almost certainly will come back mostly on the 49ers' terms, not their own.
That's the 49ers Management Way, if I can paraphrase Harbaugh.
This is just all part of a larger 49ers picture, of pent-up financial pressure and the general understanding that this talented roster is about to undergo a very large salary squeeze.
Some of the 49ers' best players are reaching a certain age -- Patrick Willis is 29, Davis 30, Frank Gore 31, Anquan Boldin 33 and Justin Smith 34.
Some or all of their established starters have younger players being groomed to place them.
All of the current 49ers mainstays have watched some of their friends discarded -- Dashon Goldson, Donte Whitner, Jonathan Goodwin, Delanie Walker -- and replaced by younger, cheaper players.
Some of their established starters have accepted a little less than market value in order to stay with the 49ers.
And now . . . quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- with one year left on his old deal, it's important to note -- has just landed a deal that could end up paying him $19 million a season through 2020.
That's money that Davis and Boone (and Michael Crabtree and Mike Iupati) will never see; now that the 49ers have committed so much to Kaepernick, they have a lot less to give to everybody else.
All of which almost certainly has everybody in that locker room thinking, wondering and maybe even worrying a little.
Which leads to holdouts and some splintering of "the 49ers Way," or at least the way it used to be.

WACO (April 13, 2010)-It's runoff election Tuesday, the day a hotly contested GOP race will be decided.
After an additional month of campaigning by Waco businessman Rob Curnock and retired Bryan energy executive Bill Flores, District 17 voters now have the opportunity to choose who will face off against incumbent Rep. Chet Edwards in the November election.
The District 17 GOP vote was split among five contenders, none of which garnered a solid majority, sending the race into a runoff election between the top two candidates.
Flores received 21,453 votes in the Primary to Curnock's 18,624.
Curnock is banking on his experience in the district; the former journalist-turned-businessman came close to unseating Edwards in the 2008 election. Edwards won the election with less than 55 percent of the vote.
Flores, on the other hand, is depending on his vast bankroll and the backing of key supporters such as former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm and former competitor Chuck Wilson.
Other local and state runoff elections include:

SAN ANTONIO - Last November was a mirror image of November 2002 at Southern California's Mountain High ski area. The same amount of terrain was open for the same number of days - and under nearly identical weather.
But in November 2002, the 80 percent snowboarder-filled Mountain High swarmed with almost 80,000 visits. Last November, the 290-acre ski area saw barely 42,000 visits.
"We just don't see the fanaticism anymore, with people coming out every day, all day," said Mountain High president Karl Kapuscinski. "It's a maturing sport. It's nothing we've done. The parks and terrain are better than they've ever been. But we just can't expect to keep that level of fanaticism going forever."
Those young, on-fire fellows who swelled snowboarding's ranks in the 1990s and surfed the resort industry through its darkest decade are not visiting their ski areas as often. And now, two consecutive seasons of declining snowboarder visits and a host of other statistical warning signs are worrying resort leaders who have long leaned on passionate 'boarders.
"We got used to snowboarding becoming this giant engine of visitation, and they were our saviors. They are not anymore, and we ignore that at our peril," said Nate Fristoe, director of operations at Boulder's RRC Associates, who last week in San Antonio presented members of the National Ski Areas Association with research showing snowboarding not just leveling but falling.

When a healthy baby gets sick, there's no reason to panic. Understand when to call the doctor and when to seek emergency care for your baby.
Every parent wants a healthy baby, but occasional infections and fevers are inevitable. Even parents who have experience with sick babies can have trouble distinguishing normal fussiness and mild illnesses from more-serious problems. Here's when to contact the doctor — and when to seek emergency care — for a sick baby.
An occasional illness is usually nothing to worry about in an otherwise healthy baby — but sometimes it's best to contact the doctor. Look for these signs and symptoms:
Trust your instincts. If you think you should contact the doctor, go ahead. After hours, you might be able to use a 24-hour nurse line offered through the doctor's office, clinic or your health insurance company.
Seek emergency care for:
Prepare for emergencies by asking your baby's doctor during a scheduled checkup what to do and where to go if your baby needs emergency care. Learn basic first aid, including CPR, and keep emergency phone numbers handy.
Whether you contact your baby's doctor or seek emergency care, be prepared to help the medical staff understand what's happening with your baby. Expect questions about:
Also, before you contact your baby's doctor, make sure you're prepared to jot down any instructions. Be sure to have your pharmacy's contact information ready, too.
Being prepared will save you and your baby's doctor time — and stress — during a phone call, office visit or emergency situation.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The battle is not over at Augusta's upscale Hillside community. Commissioners already voted not to rezone land behind the neighborhood back in June, and they confirmed that was the right decision again Tuesday.
The topic was placed back on Tuesday's commission agenda after developers filed a lawsuit.
Elizabeth Nash lives in the Hillside community.
"We're retired older people who have their life's investment in this community," Nash said.
The Hillcreek community is a quiet, peaceful place, complete with tennis courts, a community swimming pool and picturesque scenery.
If the property is rezoned, though, the trees behind many of the homes would soon be replaced by two-and-three-story apartments.
"It would literally be in my backyard. Looking down into my windows, I would never be able to open a blind again," Nash said.
Back in June, commissioners unanimously voted against rezoning the property.
But the property owners say they didn't have a legal reason to deny their request.
"Some additional things have happened, and we've been involved in a lawsuit, so before we went forward with that, we wanted to let commission know where various things stand right now," said George Patty with Planning and Development.
And after Tuesday's decision, people like Nash are pleased to be one step closer to a victory.
"We have no objection to the development of the property, we only have objection to the apartments being there," she said.
Nash says if the lawsuit is upheld and the property is rezoned, it would run a lot of good people out of the neighborhood -- and possibly the city.
"If they put two-and-three story apartments right in my backyard, we will have to move. We will probably move to Columbia County where they have a moratorium on apartments," she said.

Sarasota Christian School mourns loss of beloved teacher Stephanie Lee
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 6:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 6:57 p.m.
SARASOTA - Chris Lee knew he was saying goodbye to his wife, Stephanie.
Stephanie Lee's funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday at Sarasota Baptist Church, 7091 Proctor Road. The arrangements are handled by Wiegand Brothers Funeral Home. Instead of flowers, donations can be made to the Lee Fund through the Abundant Life Church.
In her final weeks, they had a three-hour fondue date and watched the sunset on Siesta Key. They went on walks. She ate birthday cake pops, even though it wasn't her birthday. The couple and their two teenage daughters, Chelsea and Shelbie, ate dinner together as friends brought homemade meals. Chelsea painted Stephanie's toes red. They took family photographs.
"We tried to create as many memories we could," Chris said.
Stephanie's speech became mumbled, and her movement was shaky as the inoperable brain tumor grew.
Chris thought he would never see her brown eyes again as she slept for hours Friday. She woke up for 15 minutes to look at her family one last time before she died.
"Someday our souls will meet again," Chris said as he tried not to cry.
The funeral for Stephanie, 46, will be held Wednesday morning.
The students and staff at Sarasota Christian School — where Stephanie taught for 10 years, where her husband coaches and where her two daughters attended — are also mourning her death.
"I think we're all really in shock. We can't believe it," teacher Barbie Spraker said. "It was such a fast-growing cancer."
Beside teaching, Stephanie loved riding bikes, going to the beach and spending time with her two daughters — Chelsea, 19, a waitress who wants to go to nursing school, and Shelbie, 15, a sophomore and volleyball player at Sarasota Christian.
Stephanie worked at the private school — the perfect place for a devoted Christian who had been raised by her grandmother and grandfather, a Baptist preacher.
"Her faith just blossomed there because she could share it," Chris said.
"She believed in faith, family and friends. Faith above all," added Stephanie's sister, Jamie Lang, of Auburndale.
Stephanie, a third-grade teacher who spoke in a soft, gentle voice, kept a box of cards in case a student had a sick relative.
She made Christmas ornaments with her entire class' pictures on them, a gesture that impressed her best friend Spraker.
"I just thought that was the sweetest thing," Spraker said.
Sometimes, her husband brought flowers or chicken to surprise Stephanie on a random work day.
The couple had started dating at the University of Miami.
He had been a college pitcher who eventually made it to the minor leagues for the Houston Astros; she was the blonde cheerleader with the beautiful smile.
Her family first suspected something was wrong in early December when Stephanie seemed tired and did not smile as much. Her motor skills were off.
In mid-December, Stephanie finished teaching before school let out for winter break.
She never went back.
After having an MRI, she learned Dec. 28 — her husband's 48th birthday — that she had glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Doctors removed one tumor on Jan. 2, but left behind an inoperable second tumor.
The diagnosis became more complicated when they learned Stephanie had an unrelated second cancer in her liver.
Knowing the disease was terminal, Stephanie and her family decided against chemotherapy or another treatment that would make her sick and affect her quality of life. Instead, she decided to die at home, surrounded by her loved ones.
Their friends and family offered their support, however they could.
Relatives took over the fourth-floor waiting room in the hospital after the surgery while others made meals or sent cards.
"It might not be 1,000," said Chris about the number of cards from students, teachers and friends at their Sarasota home. "But it sure seems like that."
The Sarasota Christian basketball and soccer teams wore white wristbands with the word "Lee" in blue letters. The baseball team — which Chris coaches — wore hats that said "SL."
In the social media world, her family kept an online blog to keep friends updated on Stephanie's health.
"Please accept our thanks once again for your many prayers, for your beautiful notes, and for the daily meals. You have made a difference. Your love for Stephanie is expressed in all that you do," said a post dated Feb. 10.
On Monday, Stephanie's family said they were thankful they had time to say goodbye.
"Everybody got to say, 'I love you,' " Chris said.

To me, Cruz's 2012 was an absolute validation of his 2011 season. Expecting 1500 yards was unrealistic. But the fact that he had 1000 yards+ and 10 TD's was impressive.
OK...he's not perfect. But he's probably the best slot receiver we've ever had and a great playmaker.
So the notion that the 500 yard drop from 11 to 12, shows some indication that he's not the player we thought he was, is misguided.
Lifetime member of the "specific element" and proud of it.

BERKELEY -- Lockdown defense and double-doubles from McDonald's All-Americans Gabby Green and Mikayla Cowling keyed the St. Mary's High girls basketball team to a 48-32 win over visiting Sacramento in the first round of the Northern California Open Division regional playoffs Friday.
The Panthers held the Dragons to just 17 points through three quarters to advance to Tuesday's semifinals for a second straight year.
Cowling had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Green finished with 11 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and four steals as the Cal-bound duo helped St. Mary's earn yet another matchup with rival Salesian.
Salesian, which beat St. Ignatius-San Francisco 64-55 in its NorCal opener, leads the season series 3-1. But St. Mary's won the most recent meeting in last weekend's North Coast Section Division IV championship game.
St. Mary's (27-7) threatened to run past Sacramento (23-9) early, leading 16-5 after a quarter. But the Panthers' offense struggled after their strong start, settling for jump shots with Sacramento's 6-foot-4 post Ayanna Edwards defending the paint.
"We have to not rush shots and make them play defense," said Green, who said she's not bothered at all by a shoulder injury that recently kept her out of action for several weeks.
St. Mary's led 34-17 entering the fourth quarter when Aliceah Hernandez led Sacramento on a 7-0 run, getting within 34-24 with 5:05 to play.
The Panthers responded with Green's old-fashioned three-point play, then made eight straight free throws to put the game away.
But the story was the Panthers' defense, which held a Sacramento team with four Division I-bound starters and four straight Sac-Joaquin Section championships to just 32 points.
St. Mary's coach Nate Fripp said his team has been focusing primarily on defense for the past three weeks.
"We're starting to get into it," Fripp said. "Every team has to have an identity and we think we should just be a defensive team."
Ma'Ane Mosley added 14 points and eight rebounds for St. Mary's.
Edwards, who is headed to Arizona State, finished eight points, 15 rebounds and four blocks to lead Sacramento.
St. Mary's also beat Sacramento in the first round of last year's NorCal Open Division 43-31 before losing in the semifinals to eventual state champion Bishop O'Dowd.
St. Mary's 48, Sacramento 32
Sacramento (23-9)
Cormier 2 2-2 7, Clark 1 0-1 2, Sheppard 2 3-6 7, Hernandez 3 0-0 7, Matthews 0 1-2 1, Queensland 0 0-2 0, Edwards 3 2-4 8. Totals 11 8-17 32.
St. Mary's (27-7)
Camello 1 0-0 2, Berry 1-0-0 2, Cowling 6 3-6 17, Mosley 4 6-9 14, Green 3 5-5 11, Ybarra-Harvey 0 2-2 2. Totals 15 16-22 48.
Sacramento 5 6 6 15-- 32
St. Mary's 16 7 11 14-- 48
3-point goals: Hernandez, Cowling 2. Fouled out: Hernandez, Berry, Cowling. Highlights: SM -- Cowling 10 rebounds, 3 assists; Green 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals; Mosley 8 rebounds. Sac -- Edwards 15 rebounds.

FORT WORTH (September 26, 2012)—Texas Gov. Rick Perry is renewing his campaign for tighter restrictions on the growth of state spending.
In a statement issued by his office, Perry said he wants the Legislature to put before state voters a proposal to limit the growth of government spending constitutionally, which would limit spending growth to the rate of the state's population growth combined with the rate of inflation.
Perry was scheduled to describe the plan to the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday afternoon.

The U.S. kids were more than all right, responding to the loss of Beijing Olympic captain Alicia Sacramone with a commanding display that gave them first place in qualifying Saturday at the world gymnastics championships.
The Americans finished with 234.253 points, almost four points ahead of Olympic champion China. They didn't have a single fall, and finished with the highest scores on uneven bars, floor exercise and vault. U.S. champ Jordyn Wieber leads the all-around standings, more than a point ahead of Yao Jinnan, while Aly Raisman is third.
Defending champion Russia competes later Saturday.
The top eight squads secure spots in next summer's London Olympics, and also will compete in Tuesday's team finals.

By Wade Bourne
If there's one constant in waterfowl hunting, it's change. Weather and water conditions change. The birds' food preferences change. Their flight patterns change. As winter wears on, ducks begin pair-bonding, and bigger flocks break up into smaller groups and pairs. Weeks of hunting pressure make birds wary. For all these reasons, pursuing late-season ducks and geese isn't the same as hunting them earlier in the season.
Successful hunters adjust their tactics as waterfowl go through this transition. And this is particularly true with decoy spreads. By adapting spreads to specific late-season conditions and hunting situations, waterfowlers can continue to enjoy good shooting until the season closes.
Few places receive more gunning pressure than Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area southwest of Stuttgart, Arkansas. But despite considerable competition, Greg Churan of Little Rock enjoys consistent shooting in this huge maze of flooded timber, and he does so over a minimal decoy spread.
"My partners and I usually hunt the same general area," Churan says. "We wade in at dawn and watch where ducks are working. Then we'll make a quick move to set up where they're going."
Churan and his hunting partners take in only six to 18 decoys. "We use the lightest standard-size mallard decoys we can buy, and we set mostly drakes because they show up better in the dark woods," Churan says. He believes that big spreads scare heavily pressured ducks in the late season. And because he and his partners must change locations frequently, fewer and lighter decoys make fast moves easier.
"We typically set up beneath a little crease or thin area in the overhead canopy," Churan explains. "This might be where a tree has blown down or where the trees are shorter than the surrounding woods. But these are not well-defined holes in the forest cover." Churan scatters his decoys randomly where he expects ducks to land. "I leave a lot of space between my decoys," he says. "I don't want them bunched up."
Sometimes he also rigs a jerk string by tying a bungee cord to a tree, running a line back through the landing zone, and attaching two or three decoys to it. "You've got to have ripples on the water," Churan stresses. "We always kick water, and the jerk string adds more movement to convince circling birds to come in."
Jim Reid hunts on the Arkansas River northwest of his home in Wichita, Kansas. He says that late in the season, when local wetlands and ponds freeze over, mallards and Canada geese flock to this free-flowing river in large numbers. Reid sets up to hunt where he finds the right combination of open water, a favorable wind, and good cover.
"We've studied how the birds pack around open water, sitting on adjacent ice or frozen sandbars," Reid says. "They gang up in some really big numbers, so we use a lot of decoys—75 to 100 ducks and up to 50 geese. Most are shells or full-body field decoys on motion stakes. When it is cold, birds rest very close to each other, so this is how we arrange our decoys. We also put two or three dozen duck floaters in the water, and the final touch is a wing-spinner or two near the ice or sand where we want ducks to land."
Reid typically places his duck decoys in a crescent shape with the goose decoys clustered upwind at the head of the set. "You have to leave plenty of open water for the birds to land," he advises. "If there's just a little open water available, we'll cut back on the floaters. It's a sight to behold when 200 or 300 mallards are backpedaling down into your landing area."
Marc Pierce of Manhattan, Montana, owns a spring-fed creek that remains open in the late season, and mallards flock to it when adjacent wetlands freeze over. Pierce frequently hunts from the same blind on the inside of a horseshoe bend on the creek. "I'm hunting many of the same ducks day after day, so I continually change my decoy spread so the birds don't get used to the same look," he says.
One day Pierce may put out 36 mallard decoys divided into two groups. The next day he may set out a dozen mallards, a few goldeneyes, and two or three Canada geese. The following morning he might deploy a handful of ducks and a blue heron confidence decoy or a spinning-wing decoy.
"I'm constantly giving the ducks a new look," he explains. "And I try to make my spread look as natural as possible. If I'm hunting in the morning when more ducks are usually on the creek, I put out a larger spread. If I'm out for a quick afternoon hunt, there are usually fewer ducks around then, so I go with just a few decoys. I've been places where guides hunt every day in the same spot over the same spread, and I think ducks get wary of this show. But I don't give them a chance to get suspicious on my little creek. They never see the same spread twice."
Pierce also uses the most lifelike decoys he can purchase. "What my spread lacks in size, it makes up for in realism," he adds.

The primary contractor, Sippel Development, hit rock when attempting to install a tie from the sewer pipe to the treatment plant.
Hopes are to have the road passable after Tuesday, May 21, according to David Ault, project manager.
Although the road is closed, local residents and emergency vehicles can still get through.

New Jersey and Texas Pursue Offshore Wind Power
The installation of offshore wind power plants in the United States is becoming less and less a question of "if" and more and more a question of "when and where?" as both New Jersey and Texas are poised to install wind turbines off their coasts. In New Jersey, the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved a $19 million solicitation on October 4th to support the development of a pilot offshore wind plant within 20 miles of the New Jersey coast. The BPU will help fund the needed studies and applications for the facility, which could be located somewhere along a 72-mile stretch of coastline in southern New Jersey, running from Seaside Park to Stone Harbor. The BPU hopes to spur the construction of as much as 350 megawatts of offshore wind power. Proposals are due by January 18th, 2008, and the grant is expected to be awarded by March 2008. See the BPU press release (PDF 30 KB) and the full solicitation (PDF 142 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
In Texas, the General Land Office (GLO) has become the first U.S. entity to award "competitive" leases for offshore wind power plants. On October 2nd, the GLO offered four offshore tracts of land for lease for future wind development. While the leases were open to competitive bids, only one company actually bid on them: Wind Energy Systems Technology, LLC. The company already held a lease for an offshore wind site near Galveston. The four tracts are geographically dispersed along the length of the Texas coast. The leases allow the company to install meteorological testing towers at the four sites, and the company has four years to research the area before pursuing a commercial installation. See the Texas GLO press release (PDF 127 KB).
Meanwhile, the fate of a proposed 140-megawatt wind power facility off the southern coast of Long Island remains uncertain. The Long Island Power Authority released a report in late August that found that the wind facility would cost the typical residential customer an extra $2.50 per month, compared to the cost of an efficient power plant fueled with natural gas.

One couple is sitting high in the saddle, thanks to the Los Altos City Council.
On Tuesday night, council members overturned the police department's decision to deny Anupam Pathak and Theresa Bruketta's request to use a horse when they get married at the History Museum on June 15.
Pathak said the wedding will blend East and West cultures. In India, it is a tradition for the groom to ride a white mare or elephant in a colorful procession to meet his bride and her family.
"This is a joining of two cultures," the first-generation Los Altos resident told the council. "This is also representative of the diverse community that I've grown up in and am really proud of being a part of."
The council needed little convincing to grant the appeal.
"I personally think we need to respect the traditions and cultures of our residents," said Councilwoman Val Carpenter. "Twenty-three percent of our residents are now foreign-born. The city is changing. It's becoming more diverse."
The police department based its denial on an ordinance that prohibits the riding or leading of animals on public property. Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins noted that police Chief Tuck Younis had little choice in the matter.
"It's not like he's ... an ogre and not supportive of these kinds of things," she said. "It's his job to uphold the law."
Carpenter pointed out that the Los Altos Village Association offers horse-drawn carriage rides in downtown during the holidays. Equines are also permitted in the Kiwanis Club's annual pet parade and were present when the History Museum opened.
"I understand that those are all city-sanctioned or approved public events, but to me this is a wedding -- it is a community event," she said. "I think we should support these joyous celebrations."
Pathak said other cities including San Francisco, San Jose and Fremont allow horses to be used in weddings.
"The mare that we're going to be used is specifically trained for weddings," he said. "It's pretty popular in the Bay Area to be doing this. So there are actually companies that specialize and train the horses."
The couple said they were willing to consider an alternate route for the procession that avoids the parking lot, which the museum shares with the library.
"I happen to have been to the library several times in the late afternoon hours and it is very busy," said Mayor Megan Satterlee. "The notion of taking 50 people down that center parking aisle concerns me."
The cost of any injury, loss or damage that results from a horse being used in the procession will fall on the couple.
Bruins said she was happy to grant the request but expressed relief that a larger animal wasn't being sought.
"Thank you for not coming forward with an elephant," she said.
