SAN MARINO -- The mayor of this moneyed town resigned his post Wednesday, 10 days after he was caught on surveillance video flinging a bag of dog poop into his neighbor's yard.
Dennis Kneier will stay on as city councilman. The council will meet next week to select a new mayor.
In his resignation letter, Kneier admits his actions were inconsiderate, disrespectful and wrong.
"I have apologized to my neighbor for my action, and I will pay a fine for littering," Kneier wrote. "These events continue to be embarrassing to me and to the city. Because of this, I have decided to step down as mayor.
On June 7, resident Philip Lao found a black bag of dog poop on his side walkway. He reported the incident to the San Marino police and showed them a video recording of the incident. Officers later cited the mayor for littering.
On June 11, about 100 people attended a city council meeting to express their opinion about what they called "Poopgate" and Kneier's public service record. The room capacity for Council Chambers is 49.
"This has been a challenging few days for our city, and we are hopeful that with Mr. Kneier's decision - with his public and private expressions of regret for the incident - we could move forward," Sun said. "I think Mr. Kneier has done quite a few positive things for our community and it's regrettable that this happened.
San Marino is a town of 13,000 people adjacent to Pasadena, with a median household income of about $200,000 and a median home price of nearly $2 million. It is known for its well-landscaped neighborhoods.
Kneier has served on the city council for seven years and began his second term as mayor in January.
"I've done the very best I can to serve the city well, and I will continue to do that as a member of the city council," Kneier said. "I was elected to serve as a city councilman, and I will continue to serve in the position that I was elected. I'm not going to let the voters down. I'm not going to let our city down, and I think I can be an effective member of the city council."
"I regret the fact that I did what I did," Kneier said. "Some people said it was a minor thing, but I'm not making any excuses whatsoever. I've apologized. I will pay a fine for it, but it's not the end of the world, and I will continue on."

If anyone ever told me that I'd find myself leaving my beloved New York City to move to Houston, a place that to me conjured up visions of strip malls and oil derricks, I would have laughed in disbelief. That was before my then boyfriend broke the news that he'd always planned to return to his hometown for better job opportunities and to be closer to his family. Of course, he had given me a few Texas-sized hints along the way, but I'd always blithely ignored them. Then one night, as we shared drinks at a favorite nightspot and imagined our future together, he finally dropped his bombshell. Faced with the apparent firmness of his position, I could do only one thing: burst into tears in the packed bar.
Afterward, I couldn't stop thinking of an acquaintance whose fiancé had also wanted to move away from New York. She split up with him and, last I'd heard, had married someone else and was living in Greenwich Village. She'd had the courage to stand up for what was important to her. In the end, she'd gotten what she wanted. Should I, too, fight for the life I'd always imagined leading? I hadn't grown up in New York, but I'd always known, somehow, that it was where I belonged. After law school, I moved to Manhattan and never looked back. Which is why the decision I then faced tore me apart: Should I give up the place I loved deeply for the man I also loved deeply?
All couples, whether long-married or casually dating, have to make the everyday I'll-agree-to-the-ball-game-if-you-agree-to-the-ballet compromises that keep unions humming along. But what happens when an issue arises that is so huge, so important to both partners and so impossible to agree on that to compromise feels more like making a soul-shattering sacrifice? I suppose I could have issued an ultimatum: "It's me or Houston!" But I wasn't sure I could deal with my mate's disappointment—and likely resentment—at giving up his life plan so I could carry out mine. I also worried that I'd be racked with guilt in the future when we grappled with Manhattan's inconveniences, such as sky-high real estate prices or the ultracompetitive preschool application process. Plus, although I had a good job as an attorney, I had no great love for the profession and hoped to stop working when I had kids. If I couldn't claim my career as a reason to stay in New York, what bargaining power did I have?
So, grudgingly, I agreed to a move "down the road," hoping it would never come to be. Three years later, I found myself, my husband and our baby daughter in the backseat of my in-laws' sedan, headed from the Houston airport to our new apartment. As I stared at the scenery, so unlike Manhattan's skyline, my eyes welled up and I inwardly berated myself for not holding firm.
I've often wondered if my willingness to endure my own pain rather than the guilt I'd feel if I caused my husband pain is an inherently female quality. I've certainly noticed that even though many of the women I know make the daily decisions (planning vacations, paying bills), men play an outsize role in negotiating the big stuff, such as where to live or whether to have a second child. "As much as we hate to think that there is still a gender disparity, it exists," says Liz Kampf, a psychotherapist in Houston. Indeed, in a Self.com poll, 51 percent of women say they've had to make a major life sacrifice for a partner, whereas only 37 percent say a partner has made one for them.
"Women invest more in how their relationships are doing," Kampf says. "If we can make our spouse happy, we tend to be happier." Childhood role models may also contribute to this tendency to concede. "Our mothers didn't necessarily have the same options that we do, so they went along with a lot of things," says Patricia Covalt, Ph.D., a psychotherapist and author of What Smart Couples Know. "Their daughters may end up unconsciously modeling that behavior."
Then there's economics. It's no surprise that I felt I'd lost a strong bargaining position in the moving discussion because I planned to leave my job when I had kids. "If women earn less, they tend to give in on these zero-sum conflicts, right or wrong," says Michele Weiner-Davis, a psychotherapist and founder of DivorceBusting.com.
Still, I did my best to be a good sport and adjust to our new life in Texas. But my bitterness never quite dissipated. Worse, whenever my marriage hit a rough spot, my outrage at having been asked to make this sacrifice returned full force. I didn't always express it openly, but it quietly fueled the fires of discord over the years. Part of the problem was that my husband and I hadn't talked about the move the way we needed to. Rather than expressing our deeper fears and concerns (which, for both of us, meant having to give up the place we felt most at home), we'd clung to our polarized positions, going around in circles. It turns out that was exactly the wrong way to handle things.
To tackle a major conflict without wrecking your relationship, you need to forget about winning and losing. "Being locked in a power struggle is extremely harmful to couples over the long term," Weiner-Davis says. "In reality, there's no such thing as a win-or-lose proposition. If someone loses, you both lose." There are, however, guidelines that can help you navigate these conflicts without sacrificing your sense of self, getting mired in resentment or damaging your bond. Try them whenever you're grappling with a big conflict to sail through closer than ever.
Make a top-10 list
The best way to break free of a destructive win-lose mentality is to think about other ways to meet your needs, so you'll feel taken care of even if you don't get exactly what you hoped for. "I tell couples to stop arguing over the decision itself and focus on why they feel like they do," says Scott Haltzman, M.D., a psychiatrist and coauthor of The Secrets of Happily Married Women. Try this to help pinpoint your concerns: Grab a stack of index cards and write down the top 10 factors shaping your position, one issue per card (e.g., "I don't want to move because I'll miss my friends"). Have your partner do the same. Next, rank each card in order of importance, using each number only once. "That calls for thinking about how crucial something feels—and whether you're willing to go to the wall for it," Dr. Haltzman says.
In my own case, I might have listed as 5 the fact that in Houston I could no longer be a pedestrian and would have to drive everywhere; my 1 might have been losing my connection to a city that felt integral to my very identity. Once you've clarified your priorities, you can deal with them specifically, instead of being stuck on the larger impasse. "Couples tend to find they can meet each other's primary needs in unanticipated ways," Dr. Haltzman says. My husband and I could have agreed to live in a walkable Houston neighborhood and that I'd visit New York often.
Another strategy that can help couples get past these wrenching conflicts: "Consider reframing hard choices as an occasion for one mate to give the other a gift, in the metaphorical sense," Kampf says. "Thinking of your sacrifice that way can infuse the gesture with love instead of resentment. And for the person who receives the gift, it encourages not taking the sacrifice for granted and showing gratitude."
Get creative
There doesn't always have to be an either-or outcome. "People make creative deals with each other," Weiner-Davis says. Some couples opt for a commuter marriage rather than have one or the other give up a lucrative job. "I counseled a couple in which the husband agreed to have another baby and the wife said she'd do the majority of diaper changing and early child care. To others, that may sound like a crazy arrangement, but it worked well for them."
Take Amanda,* a 40-year-old stay-at-home mom in Houston, who met her husband in college. She's Jewish; he's a devout Catholic. Although neither expected the other to convert, the question of how they would raise their kids hung in the air between them for years. "I'd say, 'I want my kids to be Jewish,' and he'd say, 'Well, I want them to be Catholic.' Then we'd say, 'OK, where should we go for dinner?' We were young and having fun, and frankly, we didn't want to deal with it," she recalls. That denial took a toll: The two split up over the issue several times while they were dating, until Amanda decided she needed to work out her feelings with a therapist. "After four months, I realized that religion wasn't worth losing him over." She told her boyfriend she would agree to raise their kids Catholic. Her boyfriend, though, was concerned that Amanda might come back later and say, "I did that for you. Now you have to do this for me." So before the two tied the knot, they sat down and hashed out how they'd handle religious issues in the future. "Everything was open for discussion," she says. For instance, it was important to Amanda—and to her parents—that any future son be circumcised in a Jewish ceremony. Her husband was OK with that. The two agreed that Amanda could celebrate Jewish holidays with the kids at home, although the family wouldn't observe them as religious occasions. "I knew that some days would be hard for me, like attending the kids' first communion, but it helped that it was 100 percent my decision. My husband never asked me to do this for him. I came to it on my own."
Remind yourself, too, that your values may change over time. "We don't always know what will make us happy," Dr. Haltzman says. "You might think you'd never live in the suburbs, then suddenly, you want your kids to have a yard to play in."
Draw up a contract
I was trained as a lawyer. So when Covalt mentioned that writing a contract could have helped my husband and me resolve our geographical differences, I was intrigued, if a bit skeptical. "You could have written down how your needs would be met despite your leaving New York. Maybe that would mean committing to taking advantage of the culture in Houston, like getting a subscription to the symphony." The point, she reminded me, was to make up for what I'd lost and to acknowledge that because my husband was getting Houston, I deserved some concessions. "But don't think of the process as a tit for tat," Covalt warns. "If you do, then it becomes a negative thing. Instead, try to look at it as a maturely-arrived-at agreement."
Say thank you and mean it
Even when a couple makes a compromise that both feel good about, one person may continue to struggle with it for months or even years. For Allison,* a 41-year-old database administrator from New Orleans, the debate was whether she and her boyfriend would have a child: She wanted one; he, already the father of two teenagers from his first marriage, didn't. After much back-and-forth, he eventually changed his mind. Allison was elated, yet after they married and their baby was born, she began to feel guilty. "If he was busy doing work and the baby was crying, I'd feel, 'He didn't want this baby in the first place, so I shouldn't be asking him to help out.'"
There's a simple way that Allison could have eased her guilt, according to Dr. Haltzman. "If you're the one who has gotten your way, make a point of thanking your mate for the concession as often as possible," he says. Try, "I know this was hard for you, and I appreciate the sacrifice you've made." Expressing your gratitude can go a long way toward helping both partners feel better.
Seek silver linings
"The more you focus on bad events, the worse you'll feel," Dr. Haltzman says. "So if you're resentful, jot down the things that are positive in your life because of the sacrifice you made. They can be as small as 'I left New York City, but I have a big kitchen now.' If you focus on the positives, you're less apt to end up bitter."
But if resentment continues to linger, there may be a larger problem: failure to take responsibility for your own joy. "No one thing makes or breaks a life, so if your happiness is overly compromised, you need to figure out what's not working for you," says Catherine Birndorf, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. In my case, I realized that my ongoing longing for Manhattan stemmed from something deeper than missing the city. My time there also marked a period when I was a single, successful professional unencumbered by the needs of children or a spouse. Once I left New York, all that changed. I quit my job, lost my status as a working person and took on the challenging role as mother to two children. I gave up not only the "New Yorker" part of me but my old identity, too.
Now that my kids are older, however, I've been able to start a career as a blogger and writer. I've also become more involved in my community. I still miss New York City, but these days, I also extol Houston's virtues to out-of-towners. "Happiness is a choice," Covalt says. "At some point, you have to tell yourself, I agreed to this, and I'm going to find a way to be happy."
For now, at least, I've accepted that Houston really is a better city for my family—and, in many ways, for me. I appreciate our lifestyle here, one that would have been harder to afford in New York. I also feel connected to my neighbors in a way I don't think would have been possible in a bustling metropolis.
I've worked hard to get to this place of acceptance. And over time, my husband and I have even had a few of the tough talks we should have had at the outset. I have voiced needs I didn't feel I had the right to express years ago and have even asked him to consider moving back to New York when our younger child leaves for college. To my surprise, he's agreed to keep that option open. "Knowing that nothing is irrevocable can help both partners handle the stress these stalemates create," Covalt says.
Meanwhile, we've agreed that I get one solo trip to New York a year. I reconnect with old friends, get a taste of my former life and return more appreciative of my current one. My husband gets alone time with our kids during a treat-filled week they've dubbed Camp Daddy. Some situations can be a win-win after all.

VAIL, Colorado - With heavy snow falling throughout the day Friday, the Burton U.S. Open made the decision to cancel the women's slopestyle finals because course conditions became too dangerous.
The six women who made it into the finals also voted and most girls didn't want to take the risk of competing given the weather conditions, said Spencer O'Brien, the top semi final finisher.
So Wednesday's semifinals essentially became the finals - the top three finishers in that competition took home the podium prize purse totaling $75,000.
O'Brien said it was definitely the right decision to cancel the event.
"A lot of time TV takes (priority) over rider safety," O'Brien said. "It's nice to come to an event where they sit down and talk to us. ... I really think it was the right call."
O'Brien took home the first place prize of $45,000. When asked if she thought the results might have turned out differently had the women competed today, she said it's always a possibility. There's no telling what the girls who held back on their qualifying runs would have done with $45,000 on the line for first place.
"I think on any given day, the results can vary, but luckily for me (that didn't happen)," she said.
O'Brien's winning run was her second of two runs on Wednesday. Her tricks on the upper features included a frontside boardslide, wallride to gap to frontside lipslide and 50-50 frontside 180 out. For the three jumps, she did a switch backside 180 mute grab, a frontside 360 and a backside 540 Indy grab.
"Not the sickest run ever," she joked at Friday's press conference.
Second-place finisher Jamie Anderson, who took home a $20,000 prize, said it became obvious during practice runs Friday that competing would be dangerous. She said at the beginning of practice, the girls "could almost clear the jumps," but conditions quickly deteriorated.
The girls were enjoying the course, too. After some rider feedback earlier in the week about the upper features, Snow Park Technologies "fixed it up right away," O'Brien said.
Brooke Voigt finished third and took home $10,000. She also won Burton's U.S. Open rookie award.
As for being in Vail, these ladies think the Burton U.S. Open's new home feels good.
"These mountains out here just build amazing parks and the snow quality is so good," O'Brien said, adding that in order to progress both the sport and the event, the change was necessary.
As for Anderson, the Winter X Games gold medalist this year in slopestyle, she has family in Vermont and was sad for the event to move, but being in Vail this week has made her feel differently.
"Vail did an amazing job hosting all of us and the conditions were really good for the most part," Anderson said. "I think the weather from Vermont kind of followed the energy of the Open."

USA, 2012, 87 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Art/Filmmaking, Music
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
In 1983, Hao Jiang Tian, born in Maoist China, traveled to Denver to pursue his dream of a career singing Western-style opera. Nearly 30 years later, Tian returned to Beijing with a group of 20 young opera singers from around the world, to train them to sing in the difficult tonal language of Mandarin. This heartwarming documentary, by double Academy Award-winning filmmaker Allan Miller, chronicles the efforts of Tian and his team of coaches and master teachers from New York's Metropolitan Opera and top music conservatories in China, as they lead these talented young people on their historic journey to become the first-ever Western singers trained in Mandarin. The film captures the emotional, cultural, personal and artistic challenges that lead to the climactic ending as the group takes the stage at China's premier concert venue, The National Centre for the Performing Arts, to perform to an all-Chinese audience. It is fitting that this captivating film debuts in Denver, as it is in this city that Tian, who studied at the University of Denver, began his journey in the West.

The Motherload of Linkdumps, Pt. 8
Previously: Pt. 1, Pt. 2, Pt. 3, Pt. 4, Pt. 5, Pt. 6, Pt. 7
Time To Jailbreak
The folks over at Teehan+Lax plan to make my iPhone a lot more useful. They're in the process of working with the Cydia folks to release a new lock screen for the iPhone entitled Element. I've spent a fair amount of time with the Android, and the single feature that always stood out as heads and shoulders above the iPhone is their notifications system. Hopefully, as soon as next week, that will no longer be a problem. Take a look at some more screenshots.
Watch Out Andy Rooney
I admittedly have a soft spot for Jon Stewart (who, thank goodness, now has a key to Bellingham, WA) and Stephen Colbert, and not so much of a soft spot (a hard spot?) for Christopher Hitchens. I first became skeptical of Hitchens after reading about his stance on the Iraq War. And that feeling only increased after he attempted to join Richard Dawkins at the head of the Atheist movement by trying to mask his lack of scientific background with an even larger combative ego than Dawkins.
Hitchens uses the fact that Stewart was ranked as the #1 trusted newscastor in an online popularity pool to whine and complain that he is no Mark Twain (Is anyone really arguing that point?). His evidence seems to be Al Franken's books (I'm still trying to figure out what that has to do with the Daily Show). My best guess is that either Hitchens is still bitter 4 years later that Stewart didn't promote his Jefferson book well enough, or is formally applying for Andy Rooney's position as Old Crank Laureate.

Dear American Airlines
- Designer dreams up a redesign of American Airlines' website and chastises the company (particularly their design department)
- An employee from the AA design group writes back to say, "You're right."
- AA fires said employee for breaking their NDA.
Lots to take away from this. For me, most of all is that I've been in this employee's shoes and this story reaffirms that I will make sure to never be wearing shoes like his in a company like that again. It sounds clear that AA is a seriously messed up company, and, as folks have said, the original critique is a little naive of the situation: A little screenshot does not a website make.

The Welsh performance in Rome leaves the team at a crossroads. It is clear that the individual ability is there, but it is also clear that the rest of 2011 could be a very grim time indeed for Welsh supporters.
As against Scotland a fortnight before, Wales started brightly. Despite one ridiculous gift of a try to Italy (the clever money is that we won't see Bradley Davies throw a pass like that again for at least another five years), Wales looked composed, dangerous, and capable of putting 50 points on the home team. But then came the rest of the match – yes, the bit you're trying to forget. Mistake after mistake after mistake kept the Italians close enough to believe that they had a chance, and they responded by playing some of their best rugby of the championship.
You could almost see the confidence draining away from the Welsh players, and with the exception of one good passage of play which Gatland hailed as showing 'killer instinct' when they worked the drop goal for Hook, they spent most of the last twenty minutes looking like a club side who were terrified of finding themselves with the ball. If they give possession away like that in the World Cup, we won't reach the quarters.
It was clear from what Matthew Rees said after the game that confidence in the side is at a very low ebb. Gatland took a gamble setting up so many games against Tri Nations sides last year – it was a necessary gamble, if Wales really wanted to challenge for the World Cup, and if we had sneaked one or two victories, we'd be looking at a very different team now. But it always had a downside – the possibility that losing again and again and again would do real damage to the team, and it now seems clear that the damage has been done. As the sum of its parts, this Welsh team is simply too good to be sweating out the last ten minutes against Italy – but the dreadful lack of confidence they are suffering from at the moment triggers a negative approach to the game as soon as anything goes wrong, and that keeps other teams in the hunt for far longer than they should be.
Looking back, the crunch match for this Welsh side was against South Africa in the autumn. To go so far ahead against one of the best teams in the world and then still manage to lose was a watershed moment, and it has left the team with what looks like an increasingly worrying fear of failure.
So where do we go from here? Rumour has it that Gatland is imposing a far stricter tactical regime than at any time since 2008, which on the face of it is probably a good thing given the lack of game management we show so often – but at the same time, who didn't feel a little bit of themselves die when Gatland said after the game that we'd tried to play a bit too much rugby in the first half? Note to WG: that was when we were putting points on the board.
We're lucky that our next game is at home, and we're lucky that Ireland are looking so rusty at the moment. After scraping by against Italy and Scotland and losing to France, they've got no more confidence than we have, and they'll be well aware that we closed that Scotland side out of the game even when we only had 13 players. It's probably going to be the grimmest match of the Championship, dominated by a fear of failure – but if we manage to make it over the line against Ireland, things might start to change.
France in Paris, with Wales as clear underdogs – we love that. This side is entirely capable of beating France, if they play with confidence and clarity, which they might just be able to do if they go to Paris with no real expectations but on the back of three straight wins. And if we got a big scalp against the French, the confidence might flow back even more quickly than it drained away, leaving us capable of getting a win or two against England in the summer – and that would leave us as genuinely dangerous floaters in the World Cup.
The alternative is probably too grim to think about – if you don't want to, stop reading right here.
If we lose to Ireland and France, it's very difficult indeed to see us picking a win up against England, and we'd be off to the World Cup with exactly the right teams in our group to give nightmares to a Welsh side lacking confidence.
The Ireland game is looking more important with every passing minute.

An OutKast reunion may be on the way.
Rapper Big Boi said he's been "discussing some things" with Andre 3000 to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik."
Big Boi recently said he's been trying to convince his collaborator to do a new record, but Andre hasn't been interested. But something may happen in 2014.
"We been kind of discussing some things," Big Boi told Los Angeles radio station Power 106. "Once we map it out, we'll make an announcement. But we'll see. It's 20 years, man. We started out at 15, 16 years old. We made our first album when we were 17 years old. Twenty-five million records later, seven Grammys, I feel great."
NEW PHOTOS SHOW JUSTIN BIEBER SMOKING SOMETHING: New photos of Justin Bieber supposedly smoking marijuana are being shopped to media outlets, according to TMZ.
That's right. The Beebs is on the grass. The weed. The pot. The Mary J., The ...
The photos supposedly show 18-year-old Bieber and his pal , rapper Lil Za, casually passing a blunt back and forth while hanging outside of a Los Angeles home. TMZ said the photos were taken Thursday.
Lil Za, by the way, was pulled over and detained for driving Bieber's Ferrari without a license early Friday morning.
Bieber was also photographed allegedly smoking pot last month -- with rapper Lil Twist -- at a hotel party in Newport Beach.
Does everyone Bieber have around him have to be named Lil?
Lil Selena Gomez had no comment.
Bieber's team has not commented on the matter.
KATE MIDDLETON PRANKSTERS WON'T BE CHARGED: The two Australian DJs whose prank call to a London hospital caring for Kate Middleton, which later apparently prompted a nurse to commit suicide, will not be charged, British prosecutors said Friday.
The DJs impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and her son, Prince Charles, while calling London's King Edward VII hospital in December to ask about the condition of Middleton, who was hospitalized for acute morning sickness.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha put the call through to another nurse, who gave details of Middleton's condition. Saldanha hanged herself three days later, after the prank became worldwide news.
According to the New York Daily News, prosecutors said there was no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter, and despite "some evidence" to justify investigating whether the pair violated Britain's Data Protection Act and Malicious Communications Act, prosecution wouldn't be in the public interest.
PENELOPE CRUZ PREGNANT AGAIN: Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem are expecting their second child, according to the New York Post.
Great. All the world needs is another homely, untalented child.
The actors already have a 2-year-old son, Leonardo. E! News said Cruz is about three months along.
"Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment -- when you see that face, you are transformed forever," Cruz, 38, has said of parenthood, according to People.com
Reps for the couple haven't commented on the supposed pregnancy.
Cruz and Bardem, 43, both Oscar winners, were married in July 2010 at a friend's home in the Bahamas. Cruz's sister Monica is also pregnant.
E! News reported the couple is currently vacationing on Johnny Depp's private Caribbean island off the coast of the Bahamas.
RANDY TRAVIS SENT TO REHAB: Randy Travis is on his way to rehab.
Technically, the country singer was sentenced to 180 days in jail after pleading guilty to drunk driving in August. But according to the Grayson County District Attorney, the sentence was "probated" for two years, essentially meaning he can avoid the big house if he stays out of trouble for two years. If not, he gets the 180 days.
Travis was arrested for drunk driving after police found him lying naked in the road after crashing his car in a construction area in Texas. No word on why he was driving around naked, though you have to figure it gets pretty hot in Texas in August. Maybe a lot of people do that down there.
Meanwhile, Travis has to go to an inpatient alcohol treatment facility for 30 days and complete 100 hours of community service, according to TMZ. He also has to have an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he drives for two years, which is one of those things people breathe into before starting the car that measures a driver's blood alcohol.
AMANDA BYNES MOVES BEFORE GETTING THROWN OUT: Amanda Bynes is moving out of her NewYork City apartment after her landlord threatened to evict the actress for being a disrespectful rule-breaker.
Anyone who rents to Amanda Bynes must not pay attention to TMZ.
The website said sources at the apartment said Bynes received a letter from building management earlier this month, saying her lease would be terminated because she's a nuisance.
Outrageous. Don't they know who she is? What's next -- hotels not renting rooms to Lindsay Lohan?
Management apparently got several complaints of marijuana smoke coming from her apartment "morning, noon and night," a source told TMZ.
Did they even stop to ask themselves if maybe she has glaucoma?
Sources also said she was also seen smoking pot in the building's hallways. Of course, it's a nonsmoking building.
Last year, in addition to getting in something like 95 car crashes, Bynes was spotted smoking marijuana all over Los Angeles.
Instead of waiting to get kicked out, Bynes apparently decided to find another place to live. TMZ said the moving trucks were outside Friday.
KATIE COURIC WENT OUT WITH LARRY KING: Katie Couric went on a date with Larry King more than two decades ago.
Right. King was still dating when he was 86.
Couric said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Thursday she went on an awkward date with fellow talk show host Larry King, according to Us magazine.
"He picks me up from my apartment, and he was driving a Lincoln town car," the 56-year-old Couric said. "We go to this Italian restaurant. They put us right next to each other like they do all the men and their 'nieces,' and he ordered veal poached in chicken stock because he had just had a quadruple bypass, which was hot."
Couric said King, who is 23 years her senior, asked her out when they were both living in Washington, D.C. and she was just 30 years old. At the time, she was open to going out on dates with anyone because she believed they could be learning experiences, regardless of outcome.
It's a good thing she never went out with Ted Bundy.
"We're driving home and I see we're going over Memorial Bridge and that's not the way back to my apartment," she told Kimmel. "So I said, 'Larry, where are we going?' He goes, 'My place.' And I was like, 'Oh, mother of God. Oh God.'"
Cue creepy music.
"We walk in and it's covered with proclamations like 'Larry King Day' and keys to every city in the country. That was sexy," she said. "So we sat there and what can I say? He lunged. ... the whole situation was out of a bad Lifetime movie."
"Incredible," Kimmel managed to say between chuckles.
Couric (who married Jay Monahan in 1989, he died of cancer in 1998) said she ended the evening cordially.
"I said, 'Larry, you are such a nice man, but I would like to meet someone a little closer to my age,'" she said.
"Yeah, someone not from the Paleolithic era," Kimmel said.
According to Us, King, now 79, told Kimmel about the date in 2009, but in his version of the story was obviously less creepy. King said they couldn't go back to Couric's place because her roommate, Wendy Walker (who later became King's executive producer) was home.
"Nothing happened with Katie and I," he told Kimmel.

Actor seeks reduced sentence in molestation case
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
SARASOTA - A man sentenced to 30 years in prison for having sex with a 14-year-old girl pleaded with a judge to reduce his sentence on Wednesday.
Charles McKenzie III was convicted in 2010 of three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation for at least 50 interactions with the girl, who snuck out of her bedroom at night to meet him, sometimes in her pajamas.
McKenzie, 26, was a popular actor on community stages, and several dozen of his friends and family packed the courtroom to support him. They include members of local theater groups, some of whom have helped raise money for his treatment and legal expenses.
McKenzie's supporters say the sentence was too harsh, and that violent people get lighter sentences in the courts.
His lawyers argued that McKenzie, while considered an adult by the law, had the emotional maturity of a much younger person, bonding with and emulating the teenagers who were his friends. His year-long relationship with the girl started when he was 22.
"I didn't think it was that bad," McKenzie said. "I knew it was illegal, but I didn't think it was that wrong."
When she sentenced him the first time, Circuit Judge Donna Berlin told McKenzie he knew that the sexual relationship with the underage girl was wrong.
The conviction included his lifelong designation as a sexual predator.
Berlin said in court she will rule next week on McKenzie's motion for a new sentence.
The girl and her family were not in the courtroom, the mother telling a prosecutor the family is still trying to heal. Sentencing guidelines suggest 22 to 40 years in prison for McKenzie's crimes, prosecutors said, after he lured the girl from her home for sex repeatedly, without thinking of the impact his actions would have on her.
A psychologist, Dr. Eddy Regnier, also testified Wednesday.
Regnier said the actor does not have a mental disorder or show signs of being a high risk to society. McKenzie does show signs that he is "very immature" and "stressed," Regnier said.

Do you need another reason today to love GNU? Check out Ed Bott's Microsoft Pushes the Stupid Button, which outlines some pretty horrific consequences of the big M's new plot to annoy lamers into ponying up for storebought copies of Windows. The only problem is, the system is as buggy as a Louisiana summer evening in the bayou. The "Validation Tool" assumes you're guilty until proven innocent, and, what's worse -- Microsoft violated its own user agreement to get this malware installed on its users' systems. This is heavy stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear of a class action soon (assuming there isn't one already).
Windows 98 and ME not supported for a serious security bug in IE
A big bad security bug fix is coming up and Windows ME and 98 are no longer supported. Well perhaps its time to spend more money and upgrade or should I try Linux?
See: http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2006/06/09/434300.aspx
The "War on Piracy" good for GNU?
I'm really surprised to hear that so many folks are still using Windows ME or 98. Both were incredibly buggy and vasty inferior to XP. However, the high cost of XP coupled with all the new "anti-piracy" measures in place, it's no wonder that so many people are taking a new look at GNU. I always thought that Microsoft was willing to tolerate unauthorized distribution of its products provided it was lowkey and non-commercial. The tradeoff was, you get kids growing up using the tools, and then they are ready to use them in the workplace--where Microsoft did keep a close eye on unauthorized copies. Now, it looks like Microsoft is reversing that strategy and telling the kids that they just shouldn't use Windows at all if they can't afford it. If they keep this up, I'm sure we'll see massive support for GNU/Linux building up.
In short, the better Microsoft gets at curtailing "piracy," the more kids will grow up using GNU instead of Microsoft. When that generation enters the job market, they're not going to want to re-tool to Microsoft. Then again, Adobe has tried its best to keep kids away from its products for a long time, and Photoshop remains the standard. Still, even with all of these measures, I know plenty of kids who have unauthorized copies of both Photoshop and Windows XP/Office running on their machines.
It'll be interesting to see what'll happen if any of these companies ever gets to the point where cracking or getting unauthorized copies won't be worth the effort. Will all those kids then turn to GNU? Or will they simply give up on tech and find other ways to amuse themselves?
Windows 98 ME user numbers.
The last time I looked at web browser stats IE Windows 98,ME penetration was around 2%.
How can I get geniune windows without paying?
Recently had laptop serviced and lost windows 2003, which I copied from a friend. After I got my laptop back without Microsoft 2003, I went out and bought windows 2007 and tried to use templates and got the not Genuine message. Is there anyway to get Genuine without paying microsoft?

A final public meeting on proposed traffic and pedestrian safety improvements to the intersection of Pike, Greene and Seventh streets drew approximately 30 people to the Graham Auditorium at Washington State Community College Wednesday evening.
"The purpose of this session is to let you know what we know about this project, and to get your input," Marietta City Engineer Joe Tucker explained.
He said the city did not want to do a project that the public does not want, and encouraged those attending to fill out comment forms stating any concerns or recommendations they may have pertaining to the proposed $3.2 million intersection upgrade.
"We'll use your input to help shape a final solution for the intersection-even if that results in a no-build scenario," Tucker said.
The proposed preliminary design alternative, supported by the engineering department, would include dual left turn lanes for northbound traffic from Ohio 7 onto north Seventh Street as well as dual left turn lanes from north Seventh Street onto Ohio 7 north.
The current left turn from north Seventh Street onto Greene Street at the Speedway store would be eliminated in favor of a right-turn only onto Greene from Seventh and a right-turn only onto Seventh Street from Greene.
Fact Box
To comment:
A questionnaire and comment sheet on the proposed Pike, Greene and Seventh streets intersection improvements can be downloaded from the www.pikegreene7th.com Web site.
Forms are also available through the Marietta City Engineer's Office at 304 Putnam St.
Deadline for comments on the project is Dec. 31.
For more information visit the engineering department link at www.mariettaoh.net or call (740) 373-5495.
A signal-protected left turn lane would also be provided for southbound traffic on Ohio 7 to turn onto south Seventh Street. A pedestrian island would also be installed at that location.
Other improvements include the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant signalized pedestrian crosswalks and curb ramps across Ohio 7 as well as across Greene and north Seventh streets.
In addition, the alley that now exists along Hardwood Center Drive and old Pike Street, just east of the intersection, would be improved to a two-lane corridor between Greene and Ohio 7 to provide access to businesses located in that area.
Tucker said more than 225 traffic crashes were logged within a 1-mile section of Ohio 7 that includes the Pike, Greene and Seventh streets intersection between 2003 and 2005. The area was ranked the 187th worst in all of Ohio, according to a 2005 Ohio Highway Safety Program study.
Studies show there were 63 crashes within the intersection between 2003 and 2005, and that figure increased to 79 crashes between 2008 and 2010.
Tucker said those facts helped secure $2.4 million in Ohio Department of Transportation Safety Funds, in addition to $504,150 from the Wood, Washington, Wirt Interstate Planning Commission for the intersection project.
"Normally we would go from here right into final design with an intersection project," he said. "But we've heard some concerns about the proposal and wanted to step back, take another look and gather more public input."
One of the main objections to the project has been the elimination of the current left turn from north Seventh Street onto Greene Street (Ohio 26).
Resident Linda Showalter, who has lived in the Norwood area for 37 years, said she regularly makes that left turn on her way home.
"I'm also concerned (if the left turn onto Greene is eliminated) that traffic will go out Pike Street to the signal intersection near Burger King, then turn left across two lanes and travel past Phillips Elementary School to get onto Greene Street," she said.
Eric Lambert, city engineering project manager, said he had driven that route and agreed the roadway which runs directly in front of the school was a bad idea.
He also said he could understand the convenience of turning left from north Seventh Street on to Greene in order to reach the Norwood area.
"But I also have to look at this from an engineer's viewpoint," Lambert said.
He noted one Norwood resident said without the availability of a left turn onto Greene it would take 15 minutes to drive out Pike Street to Acme Street, then north on Acme to reach her home.
But Lambert said he and fellow project manager Jarrod Schultheisz made several test runs over various routes from the downtown area into Norwood, and the longest average travel time was 6 minutes and 19 seconds.
"And not being able to make the left turn onto Greene from Seventh resulted in 39 seconds more travel time and 0.3 mile additional distance to reach the Greene and Acme streets intersection in Norwood," he said.
Norwood resident Dean Woods said one reason for so many accidents in the Pike, Greene and Seventh streets intersection is vehicles making a left turn onto Greene Street from the Speedway convenience store parking lot.
He noted that the traffic study results showed 37 percent of accidents occurring in that area of the intersection.
Phillips Street resident Richard Nicholson expressed concern that not allowing the left turn from north Seventh onto Greene would create a problem for emergency vehicles. He said that turn allowed quick access for fire trucks during a recent blaze that occurred within a block of that intersection.
Tucker said he had met with Marietta Fire Chief C.W. Durham and his staff who had expressed similar concerns about the ability to turn left onto Greene during emergency responses.
He said the barrier curb that would be used to prevent the left turns would be designed so that emergency vehicles could make the turn when needed.
Oakwood Avenue resident Keith Gutberlet said he also opposed elimination of the left turn onto Greene because many people who work in the industrial park areas off Ohio 26 near Broughton's Dairy access that location via Greene Street.
Owners of businesses at the intersection also expressed some concerns.
Ben Cogswell of Apex True Value said tractor-trailers entering and exiting the lots for his store and Food 4 Less often have difficulty getting back out onto Ohio 7 north (Pike Street) from south Seventh and south Sixth streets.
Tucker said access issues would be worked out with local businesses in the area during the final design phase of the project, if city council decides the work should continue.

PHOENIX -- Warriors point guard Stephen Curry signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension on Wednesday.
Curry signed the $11 million-per-year deal hours before Golden State plays in Phoenix in the season opener.
Wednesday at 9 p.m. was the deadline for the Warriors to extend Curry's rookie contract. Curry had said he wanted the situation settled before to avoid distracting him from the season opener.
A team source told Bay Area News Group that Curry is excited about the contract because it gives him the three things he wanted: to stay with the Warriors, security, and a "reasonable" salary. His deal doesn't include any bonuses or incentives.
Curry later posted on Twitter: "Gameday baby. And thanks to Joe Lacob & the Warriors hopefully I can say that for the next 4 yrs. agreed on extension"
Curry has said all along he wanted to stay with the Warriors. In exchange, Golden State got Curry, who has been hampered by ankle issues the last two seasons, at a discount price. (On Tuesday, Denver's Ty Lawson signed for four years, $48 million. Without the ankle issues, Curry probably would have gotten at least that amount).
"This is an exciting day for the Warriors and our fans and it certainly exemplifies the commitment of Joe Lacob and Peter Guber," said Warriors general manager Bob Myers in a statement. "We're extremely pleased that we have reached an agreement that will enable Stephen to remain a vital part of our team long term. His contributions over the last three years, both on the floor and in the community, have been invaluable to our organization. We certainly expect him to be an integral part of our future success as he continues to evolve as a player in all facets of the game."
There was uncertainty over whether the Warriors and Curry would reach a deal considering his ankle issues. He missed 40 games last season because of ankle sprains. After surgery in April, he worked his way back onto the court, then sprained his ankle again Friday.
However, members of Warriors management said they weren't concerned over the latest sprain. And they were impressed with Curry's play since training camp began.

Albert Einstein Healthcare Network
Einstein Healthcare Network (AEHN) and its predecessor organizations have been serving the greater Philadelphia area for over 140 years. The network provides comprehensive, high quality care to area residents through a network of acute care hospitals, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care services. The majority of its patients are from economically challenged areas of the city.
In order to diversify its patient mix and expand in a growing market, AEHN decided to build a new regional medical center in nearby Montgomery County. This new state-of-the-art hospital will have 146 beds and offer a full range of inpatient and outpatient services. To help realize this vision, AEHN turned to Goldman Sachs.
Working closely with the network's board, management and advisors, the Goldman Sachs banking team developed an innovative financing strategy that allowed AEHN to refinance its existing bonds and then issue new debt through a subsidiary, New Regional Medical Center. This organization issued over $300 million of bonds to fund the construction at an attractive cost of capital. The bonds were issued in June 2010, and the construction of the new hospital and the facility is scheduled for completion in 2012.
This project is expected to have a significant economic impact on the region, providing new jobs at a time of ongoing unemployment. And over the longer term, it will help AEHN grow stronger, providing superior healthcare to people across the greater Philadelphia area.

VAIL - The forecast for the foreseeable future at Vail and Beaver Creek shows nothing but sunshine and blue skies. The next chance for snow - maybe - is Monday, and forecasts show only a couple of inches possible out of that so-called storm.
In recent memory, the 2007-08 season started off dry and ended up wet. Last season - one of the worst snow years on record - started out snowy. You can never tell what December and the rest of the season will bring based on November weather, but that doesn't help local hotels waiting for December bookings to fill up.
The sunny skies are unsettling, said Meteorologist Joel Gratz, who runs the powder forecasting site www.opensnow.com.
Gratz points out that weather, or storm tracks, often gets stuck in a pattern. Over the last decade or so, he said those patterns have tended to persist for 2 to 4 weeks and then they change. Last season, however, the pattern never really flipped, Gratz said.
"That was the first time I had seen that in a long, long time," he said. "We were on the wrong side of the storm track and nothing really shifted, and the last few weeks we've been on the wrong side of the storm track and nothing has really shifted. ... It's unsettling to see this now. I don't know if it's going to change or not. I have no clue."
Gratz isn't trying to sound optimistic by saying he doesn't know what will happen. He said he gets emails from people who want to know what's going to happen this winter. They think he really knows what the weather will be like but just isn't telling anyone, which makes him laugh.
On the Vail Daily's Facebook page, people expressed concern about the start to the season. One person commented that the snow will come, but another questioned whether we could be experiencing consequences from climate change. Gratz is quick to point out that it's too early to know if we're in some kind of new normal because of climate change or some other reason, though.
John Rosenthal commented that he's very worried and is doing his snow dance every night. Court Coursey commented on Saturday that he's "extremely concerned with no snow in the forecast for the next 10 days, either."
Mike Maher said "repeat of last season, maybe worse. I am worried!"
And Michelle Brodeur Brooks said she's really worried, too.
"I know it is usually a slow start at this time of year but it has been really warm. Kids start Beavo in 2 weeks and I am praying we get a big storm before then," Brooks wrote. "We can't have two horrible years in a row."
Then there are those who remain optimistic, no matter what.
"A bad day here is a good day out east," commented Shane Kennedy.
"It's going to happen," said Mindy Pannell. "My guess is we get socked in from around Christmas on. Believe in snow people!"
Gratz doesn't usually forecast weather beyond a few days out because long-range forecasting is typically inaccurate. He like to forecast the next storm, but lately the next storm is farther out than just a few days.
"This is really testing my wits because I hate long-range forecasting," Gratz said.
Sites like www.accuweather.com predict weather a month in advance. That site shows the Vail area turning to a colder, snowier pattern around mid-December, but Gratz said you just can't scientifically predict weather that far in advance.
He does see a storm heading toward Colorado around Monday, but he only expects 2-4 inches out of that storm, if that.
It's still a bit too early to pin down the exact timing or amounts, but the models are somewhat consistent with this storm hitting Colorado, so I'll jump on the band wagon," Gratz wrote in his Tuesday forecast. "At this point I wouldn't expect much more than a 2-4 inch event, but maybe if we get lucky there could be talk of six inches."
Gratz has looked at some historical data over the last 30 years and said there have been maybe 2 to 4 seasons that had an equally slow start like this season. Half of those seasons turned out about average, and half turned out below average, he said.
"At this point, if things switch around, we can make up for it," Gratz said. "If we got a couple of storms a week for two weeks - and they don't have to be big storms - that just builds the base and you could get a lot of the mountain open in two weeks. ... I haven't written off the season - you can get into a snowy period."
Gratz is himself an avid skier, which is why he's in the business of forecasting weather specifically in terms of powder days. He, like many snow enthusiasts, hasn't been too happy this month.
"We're looking for consistent cold, snowy weather. That's still a possibility," he said. "I'm not obnoxiously optimistic, but truly, that could definitely happen."

Authorities in Hamilton County say a credit union teller created "C-Note sandwiches" to help steal some $600,000 over nearly a decade.
Hamilton County assistant prosecutor Bill Anderson said 62-year-old Linda Fite allegedly swapped $1 bills for $100 bills in stacks of hundreds, leaving $100 bills on the tops and bottoms of the stacks to disguise the theft.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that an audit last year of large bags of money disclosed the thefts from Cinco Credit Union.
Fite faces a potential sentence of three years in prison if convicted.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
I think what annoyed me most about the Suarez fiasco wasn't the bite so much - that just seemed so absurd at the time as to be laughable.
It was his reaction immediately after - the feigning of an injury and limp - and then when the ref did appear to talk to him, the what appeared to be 'sarcy' thumbs ups.
I see that the murmurings are that he will stay around though. Odd eh? I know football is a contact sport and different to other forms of employment, but I would guess that if I had made racist comments and then bitten somebody, I would have been sacked.
Has a player ever been sacked as such? There was that drug taking bit at Chelsea wasn't there? Any others?
It just makes me wonder what you'd have to do within football to actually get sacked - especially if in all other aspects you are an exceptional player.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Just off the phone to Anthony Hopkins. He said he's totally #$%$ off with Suarez torturing him for autographs and stuff. As regards the incident, he said there's no arm in it.
Suarez has done more than enough to warrant being sacked in any other profession, but let's face it, as long as he's scoring and creating goals I can't imagine the kind of depraved act he'd have to commit to actually be sacked as a footballer. At least Ajax immediately got rid of him when it happened there. Maybe it goes to show how low Liverpool have fallen, that they see this type of player as indispensable. I personally would be embarrassed if he played for my team, I don't care how many goals he scores or how good of a player he is, and to me it says a lot about the fans when they defend him. Why is it that there are so many cavemen types among the ranks of football players and supporters?
I know, I know, all the Liverpool Suarez defenders will say, "What about Defoe? What about Defoe?" If you look at the Defoe incident I don't think there's much similarity. Defoe's bite was stupid no doubt, but looked totally harmless. The ref was standing right there for God's sake, and thought it only warranted a yellow card. This Suarez bite looked far more vicious, and the last time it happened at Ajax he drew blood if I'm not mistaken. And with Defoe it was one isolated incident.With Suarez it's a pattern of behavior that's repeated over and over and over again. When we played Liverpool last I saw several Spurs players who don't normally lose their cool starting to get riled up, and it was always related to Suarez. To me he's just a disgrace and Liverpool's image is continually tarnished as long as he plays there. By the way, there are plenty of other Premier League players who are also shameless and despicable who I'd be embarrassed to have on my team, Rooney and Terry immediately come to mind.

This will now sound contradictory, but I think that the FA's reaction is over the top.
To me 'punishment' is meant as an example to others not to commit the same act.
So although I found Suarez's biting bit appalling in a 'human being sense' , in a footballing sense I think it was less of an offence than say jumping in with two feet and studs showing.
I know Suarez has done this before, but we've all know of players who have a reputation for dodgy challenges, elbows, raking Achilles with studs etc - and also repeat the offence.
So although to me, I think Pool should have sacked him, as presumably he must have had a written after Evra (and biting just wouldn't be accepted anywhere outside of sport it seems - rugby and boxing come to mind), I don't think that the action, in a dangerous play way was worse than a bad challenge. And, although Daffy did bite someone, I don't see that the FA need to really worry about it catching on and so issue a long ban as a deterrent.
As a thought, maybe the FA should start a points system. Each yellow card should be assessed for type, and each time a player gets a card for a similar type of offence, that points tally increases. Once a tally reaches a certain level, an auto red is issued. Repeated reds for the same offence extends the ban period. Mind you, then Bale would have got an auto red for repeated diving...so maybe not a good idea.

You've already seen the preview clip of South Park's NASCAR-filled season premiere. Now, find out everything that happened during the episode where Cartman made it his mission to become "poor and stupid" enough to race with the best of 'em.
Ah, yes, South Park returned last night with its much-anticipated NASCAR episode! If you weren't able to catch it on the TV—or even if you did and just want to relive it all—here's what happened...
The episode began with a sad Cartman crying in the school hallway. Naturally, Stan and Kyle were shocked to see true emotion from their acerbic classmate, and asked him what was wrong. As it turned out, Cartman's dream was to be a NASCAR driver, but he didn't think he had what it took to race alongside the likes of Jeff Gordon and Danica Patrick. What did Cartman think it took, exactly? Let's find out:
Curveball! As it turned out, Cartman simply didn't think he was poor or stupid enough to be a driver. Because, you know, anybody who likes NASCAR—like Kenny, for example—is poor and stupid. How would he fix this? Well, later that day as he watched Two and a Half Men, Cartman saw a commercial for Vagisil that noted "short-term memory loss" as a side effect. That was all he needed to become stupid:
With his newfound stupidity, Cartman—with the help of Butters—decided to hijack someone else's car at a NASCAR race and see how he fared. Unfortunately, as you'll see below, things didn't go so well and Cartman ended up in the hospital—where his doctor gave him the best insult he could have ever hoped to receive:
Now that he was sure of his stupidity, Cartman decided to become even poorer by purchasing a bunch of consumer goods on credit and defaulting on the loans:
Immediately afterward, Cartman was visited by the CEO of Vagisil, who stated that the boy's previous racetrack stunt had increased profits for the cream. So, he awarded Cartman with his very own Vagisil-sponsored race car!
With his stupidity, poorness and car comfortably in hand, Cartman decided to sign up for a big NASCAR event. How hard could it be? NASCAR drivers just need to know how to turn to the left, right? Here's the hilarious pre-race press conference:
So, Cartman went to the racetrack, fired up the Vagisil Mobile, and quickly—and inadvertently—took out every other driver:
Except for one! As it turns out, the wife of the Vagisil CEO was tired of his constant, "Clean your vagina!" badgering, so she hijacked another driver's car and ended up winning the race, leaving Cartman—and her husband—in the dust. It was then that Cartman realized that he didn't, in fact, have what it took to be a NASCAR driver. You see, he was just too smart to end up poor, and—if he was both smart and rich—he'd never be able to be a NASCAR driver.
Here's his end-of-episode reflection on it all:

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - There's barely anything in the fridge, you don't feel like cooking, or it's late and the munchies are calling. Whatever the reason, ordering a pizza to be delivered right to your door is like flying first class: You can order whatever you want when you want, and you can eat it while sitting in a recliner. Arguably one of the greatest commodities since the advent of the car culture in the 1950s, pizza delivery has grown from a polite gesture to a handheld application of choosing the pie and tracking it from the oven to the doorstep in 30 minutes, without even dialing a number.
Luckily for the guys at Taster's, the Domino's enterprising model of online pizza ordering and tracking hasn't skewed our down-home choice for year-round yummy pie - at least not yet. But the drivers at our favorite local spot do work hard to make sure our customized pies are baked and delivered hot to our doors, no matter what condition the driveways (or the customers, for that matter) are in during the middle of January.
For a firsthand look into some of the things our local drivers do encounter between the shop and a stranger's door, four-year Taster's veteran Trevor Clapper gives us the scoop.
Snowmass Sun: What kind of car(s) do you drive for deliveries, and have you ever gotten stuck in the snow?
Trevor Clapper: We switch out between a Subaru Outback and a Chevy Cavalier, both of which can be very hairy, especially when driving to houses that are totally off the grid. I personally have never gotten stuck, but plenty of others have had to be towed out on multiple occasions.
SS: Can you recall a favorite memory from the road?
TC: There are tons, but driving the sketchy front-wheel Cavalier with a foot and a half of snow blowing over the hood definitely tops the list. Oh, and big groups of drunk people who all hand me money at once is also very fun.
SS: In your four years spent making deliveries, did anything ever go seriously wrong?
TC: Yes. I have left pizzas on the roof of the car, only to drive all the way to someone's house before I discover their entire order is on the road somewhere.
SS: Have you ever had any outlandish requests from customers? Did you follow through with any?
TC: A customer from the Viceroy once asked me to pick up his ski rentals and deliver his pizza with a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of Grey Goose. I did it, and in turn he gave me a $100 tip. Other than that we often end up giving rides to people, usually drunk people who are wandering the streets far from home.
SS: Do you have any advice for future customers who request a delivery?
TC: Yes. If you order food and I knock on your door, please remember to put on a pair of pants.

MIAMI -- Right fielder Josh Reddick went back on the A's disabled list Sunday morning, just five days after being activated from the DL.
Reddick was replaced on the A's roster by first baseman Nate Freiman, who was in Sunday's lineup with Brandon Moss moving to the outfield.
The original disabling injury was hyperextension of Reddick's right knee caused by a fall after colliding with the outfield wall at the Coliseum against the Angels June 1. He was activated Tuesday and was feeling fine until Saturday, when he felt pain in the same area as he went to make a throw.
Reddick was pessimistic Saturday night, but manager Bob Melvin said the right fielder was feeling better Sunday morning than he expected.
"He's aggravated the same injury,'' Melvin said. "We don't expect him to be on the field for five days. The best move for him was to go on the disabled list.''
Reddick had an MRI Sunday morning, but the A's don't have the results yet, so there is no telling how extensive the injury is.
John Jaso got the start off because he caught 14 innings in Saturday's four-hour, 47-minute game and "he's got some dead legs'' Melvin said.
Derek Norris went through a full series of back exercises before the game and said he was feeling better, but he wasn't likely to play Sunday and his status for the series in Detroit starting Monday is up in the air.
The man who did get the start, Stephen Vogt, was playing after being hit by a pitch Saturday.
"I wouldn't have been able to make it to the apartment to get my bag, but Amanda was in town and she went and packed for me,'' Freiman said.
"Amanda'' is Amanda Blumenherst, Freiman's wife, who is a regular on the LPGA Tour. Because of their jobs, the two hadn't seen each other in a month before Blumenherst arrived in Sacramento for the weekend, just in time to see Freiman called up. She may make it to Detroit for the series that starts Monday.
"She packed a suit, a couple of T-shirts and the cell phone charger,'' Freiman said.
Although he was happy to be back in the big leagues for the first time this season, Freiman was distressed that it was because of an injury to Reddick
"It's really too bad about Red,'' Freiman said. "He was rehabbing with us before he came off (the DL), and everybody really liked him. We all feel bad for him.''
Freiman was hitting .277 with 20 doubles, 14 homers and 69 RBIs in 76 games with Triple-A Sacramento.
He said he's lowered his hands and moved his legs closer together, the better to bring out the extra-base power in his 6-foot-8 frame and "I had a slow start, but the last two months have been good.''
"I can't see very well while wearing it,'' Doolittle said. "But I had it on and we won, so it works.''
Doolittle said the helmet stays in the clubhouse during games and gets worn by relievers after they come out of games.

1.9 Citing (neutrally, or with approval) the anti-Semitism of others
[1.9/A][In a paper delivered to the IHR, Irving speculated on why, in his mind, the so-called Eichmann memoirs had been supressed. One of the reasons he proffered his audience was Eichmann's belief that the Nazis had been lured into the Holocaust by Zionism.]
'The second interesting thing that emerges from Eichmann's own papers is that he's chewing over in his own mind - he's frightfully repetitive - he keeps on coming back, again and again, in his manuscripts and in these conversations to who was behind it, and what was behind it. What was behind "the Holocaust" (if we can use that word loosely here now)? He keeps coming back to the appalling thought: Did they manage to use us? Did the Zionists use the Nazis to further their own ends? Was the Holocaust something that they themselves inflicted on their own body, in order to bring about their Zionist cause in the long run?
This was Eichmann's theory, at the end of his life.[...] And perhaps this is the reason why the Eichmann papers were not supposed to see the light of day.' [P's speech at the 11th IHR Conference, 'The Suppressed Eichmann and Goebbels Papers' (published in JHR for March/April 1993): K3, Tab. 13, p. 19 (generally, pp. 18-25)]
[1.9/B]'Now I understand that at Mr Zundel's trial that one of these two Slovaks turned up for the prosecution and gave evidence and made a miserable impression. His name was Mr Vrba, Mr Vrba apparently didn't know half the things he was supposed to know from his own report. And when Mr Zundel told me this yesterday I could only say this was exactly my own impression, that in fact there were no two Slovaks Jews, that they are fictitious, they never existed, that the report is a concoction of some propaganda agency. And the interesting thing that occurred to me was that when this report came out published by the War Refugee Board in 1944, in November, 5 months after it came out of Europe, two newspapers immediately challenged its authenticity and refused to publish it. The New York Times and the Washington Post. Not just any two newspapers, but the two must prestigious newspapers in the United States. Initially refused to publish this report or to comment on it because it looked too phony to them. One of them pointed out the fact, or raised the startling hypothesis, that the report had actually been masterminded by Dr Goebbels' propaganda ministry. Lets dwell on that a minute. Let's wrap our minds around that concept. That this famous report by the two Slovak Jews had been produced by the Nazi propagandists themselves. Not my idea, it's the idea of the leading columnist in the New York Times for why he was not going to accept this report and publish it. He thought it was such an anti-Semitic report that the burden, of it the balance of the report when you finish reading the 25 pages and put it down your revulsion, is not only at the thought that the Germans were doing this to these helpless victims but you had a secondary revulsion that the people who were actually doing it on the spot, the trustees in the camp, the clerks, the bookkeepers, the people whose job it was to select and deport and ship into the gas chambers and carry out the bodies and so on, were all Jews themselves. This was the real burden of the report of the two Slovaks, to put their fingers on the Jews and say these were the real cruel people, the real atrocities were submitted by the Jews themselves in the camp at Auschwitz. A diabolical piece of propaganda issued by the Nazi Propaganda Ministry itself. This was the conclusion of the New York Times, privately, in reading this report. And if your first response is to say well it's a rare way to do it, you make people believe the lesser evil that the Jews were doing it but at the same time let them believe that Auschwitz had killed 1.75 million Jews, the answer to that was given by the columnist himself when he said "the world believes that about the Germans anyway", we've been pumping out atrocity propaganda about the Germans, the Germans are believed to have done this anyway and the propaganda Ministry, diabolical as they are, they will say let us put that into our own report and if that doesn't blacken us any further than we have been blackened by the world media anyway, if only we can get them to believe this vicious lie about the Jews themselves. It's a very interesting hypothesis.' [P's speech in Toronto, August 1988: K3, Tab. 2, pp. 14-15]
