Ok, so I would be even happier if Bale stays but even if he goes I am still happy that we have bought well during this window - and early, compared to other times. Really looking forward to the new season now. COYS!!
Indeed Sfer,
the end of last season we were a 1 man team. It was almost as if the other players around him went into their shell due to his brilliance. Just like Ronaldo and RVP there is life after losing their superstar and go onto win things. ahem sorry i meant just Man Utd winning stuff. But even still, Arsenal did get their 4th place trophy they win most years

Customers spared heating-oil tax
Before the legislative Commerce Committee decided Thursday that a heating-oil tax wasn't such a hot idea, the proposal had potential to land Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in the history books beside George H.W. Bush, who famously said in 1988, "Read my lips: no new taxes!"
The heating-oil tax scheme put Gov. Malloy at risk of reneging on a promise he made just six weeks ago. "The families and businesses in Connecticut have enough on their shoulders," he told a joint session of the legislature Feb. 6. "This budget asks no more of them. In fact, I'm proposing we give them some much-deserved help."

SANTA CLARA -- A two-week window has opened for the 49ers to place the franchise tag on All-Pro safety Dashon Goldson, a move that would virtually keep him off the free-agent market for a second straight year.
Goldson is seeking a longer-term commitment than the one-year, $7.45 million contract he'd land as a repeat recipient of the franchise tag. Free agency begins March 12.
If Goldson doesn't return for a seventh season, it would be surprising, as both sides have professed a desire to reach a deal.
If Goldson isn't tagged, he'd join a deeper pool of safeties than in recent offseason markets. That crop currently includes Ed Reed (Baltimore Ravens), Charles Woodson (Green Bay Packers), Jairus Byrd (Buffalo Bills), William Moore (Atlanta Falcons) and LaRon Landry (New York Jets).
"The franchise tag, it's cool. It's not that bad with the money, but everybody wants security," Goldson said Feb. 5, two days after the 49ers lost 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens. "In the job that I do, and the position I play, there's a lot that comes with the territory. Security is something that you want at my position, for sure."
Goldson has played the past two seasons under one-year contracts, and he went on to earn Pro Bowl invitations each season. The 49ers had five other defensive starters make this year's Pro Bowl, which they did not play in thanks to their Super Bowl workload.
Coach Jim Harbaugh stumped on Goldson's behalf during a Feb. 5, end-of-season press conference.
"He's somebody that I think you reward," Harbaugh said. "You know he's out there, and opposing offenses know that he's out there. He tackles and does everything that you'd want a safety to do. I feel like you reward those types of people. Who do you reward if you don't reward those types of people?"
Another candidate to receive the 49ers' franchise tag is tight end Delanie Walker, who's versatility overshadows the fact he's started only 40 of 99 games in his seven-year career. The Kansas City Chiefs' Web site recently did a profile of Walker in a series on attractive free agents. The Chiefs also could be a logical trade partner for Alex Smith.
Other 49ers headed for unrestricted free agency are wide receivers Randy Moss and Ted Ginn Jr.; nose tackles Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean Francois; linebackers Larry Grant and Clark Haggans; and, offensive lineman Leonard Davis.
Goldson, a fourth-round draft pick in 2007, stands to be latest homegrown player to receive a multi-year contract from the 49ers. Others who've secured such deals under general manager Trent Baalke are: linebackers NaVorro Bowman and Ahmad Brooks, defensive tackle Ray McDonald, running back Frank Gore, offensive lineman Alex Boone, and quarterback Alex Smith, whose three-year deal last March hasn't assured his return this year.
Goldson started every game the past season, and all three of his interceptions came in the regular season. He forced two fumbles, including one in a playoff-opening win against the Green Bay Packers.
"I don't see why I wouldn't be around," Goldson said Jan. 30, amid preparations for Super Bowl XLVII. "Those guys understand what I've done, and how can you say I don't deserve anything I might receive."
Goldson last tested free agency in 2011. He considered an offer from the New England Patriots before returning to the 49ers during training camp on a one-year, $2 million deal.
Goldson has literally paid for his physical nature, at the tune of nearly $70,000 over the past three season. He got docked $21,000 in December for what the NFL deemed was his third fine-warranted hit that season, and it came against Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.

A draft copy of proposed legislation governing mobile food vendors on public property within the city of Marietta was distributed during a meeting of city council's planning, zoning, annexation and housing committee Tuesday.
"This is a rough draft based on an ordinance from Louisville (Ky.)," said committee chairman Roger Kalter, D-1st Ward.
For more than a year Kalter has been pushing for legislation that would enable mobile vendors to sell items such as shaved ice, ice cream, sandwiches and other food products from a vehicle in some city parks and other municipal properties.
He said city law director Paul Bertram III had "tweaked" the proposed ordinance from the 72-page Louisville document to accommodate any issues specific to Marietta.
"One thing, for example is that these vendors would have to operate more than 150 feet from any brick-and-mortar establishment while it is open for business," Kalter said.
He added that current city code does not allow food vendors on any city properties, including in local city-owned ball parks.
Fact Box
If you go
- Marietta City Council's fire and police committee will meet at 3:30 p.m. today, followed by a streets and transportation committee meeting at 4 p.m. in the second floor conference room at 304 Putnam St. All council and committee meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public.
- More city information is available at http://www.mariettaoh.net/
"I've heard that some leagues used to run concessions at the ball parks to raise money that could be used for lights or other needs," Kalter said.
Councilman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, asked what the mobile vendor license would cost.
"It would be $100 a year," answered council president Walt Brothers. "But my question is whether that's a fair fee?"
He also noted the draft ordinance sets the hours for mobile food vendors from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.
"This is just a rough draft at this point-nothing's set in marble," Kalter said. "But I would like to pursue this so we can have an ordinance available for vendors by May 1."
He asked the committee members to review the proposed legislation and be ready to discuss it during another meeting tentatively scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday in the second floor conference room at 304 Putnam St.
In other business Tuesday, Kalter said he would like to have legislation ready in a month to amend the city's current property management code, adopted in 1998, to reflect the latest International Property Management Code established in 2012.
"I would also like to introduce additional legislation setting enforcement and penalties (for violation of the amended code)," he said.
Vukovic agreed.
"There's no point in adopting an amended code unless the other piece for enforcement is also put in place," he said. "If we're not going to enforce it, why update the ordinance?"
Kalter said the enforcement ordinance would have to include the hiring of a full-or part-time code enforcement officer.
City safety-service director Jonathan Hupp said the administration has had a couple of brief discussions with the law director about the proposed enforcement officer position. He said due to the requirement for benefits, a full-time position could have a significant cost.
Kalter said he hoped to introduce both pieces of legislation in a month.
He added that copies of the 40-page 2012 International Property Management Code are available for viewing by the public at the Washington County Public Library on Fifth Street, in the city council clerk's office at 308 Putnam St., at the law director's office in the Marietta Municipal Court building on the corner of Third and Butler streets, and at city hall, 301 Putnam St.
Council members also have copies of the 2012 IPMC booklet.

11 Makeup Mistakes You Don't Realize You're Making
How do we know? Because we were making them too -- until we got this advice
We confess: "I used to use pencil to fill in my brows and I recently switched to a waxy powder," says Meghan. "I can't tell you the difference it makes! With the pencil, you could totally tell that I did some filling in work. This waxy powder is so much easier to use, easier to fix if I mess up, and looks way more natural."

I used to always wear black eyeliner all day, everyday. But lately I've been using brown eyeliner and I completely agree.

I agree with most of the tips. I do a smoky eye often, and really like black eyeliner in my water line once and a while.

oh boy i agree with some of these tips.
by Yecenia Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 05:11PM Report as inappropriate
Lol, as I read this I am wearing a smoky eye consisting mainly of blue eye shadow. For my foundation, I did a light contour for my cheekbones. I pencil in my eyebrows because the are already full with only a few minor imperfections. And to top it off, I'm wearing black eyeliner! (It's daytime) However, I am complemented often on my makeup. So I agree with some of these, but others, not at all.

yes we all have different opinions.. from "make-up should be whatever you prefer" to "maybe I do use to much bronzer" but this article is for woman who are trying to achieve the most natural (I barely try at all and still look flawless look) these are clearly tips to not looking like fake barbie dolls. Now if you like your your eyes to look like Rocky got mad at them, and your eyebrows to look like you get them waxed weekly and let your daughter play artist.. by all means do your thing... Me on the other hand would love to learn how to look like im wearing absolutley NOTHING... (:

The Glass Menagerie Tickets
Based in part on playwright Tennessee Williams' own tumultuous home life, The Glass Menagerie centers on the tragic decline of the Wingfield family. While mother Amanda attempts to uphold her family to the standards of her upper-class Southern upbringing, her children Tom and Laura struggle to find their own way in the world. Often adapted on stage and screen, this award-winning play skillfully examines the age-old conflict between familial obligation and individual desire.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 24_THE SHOOTING MONTH__JANUARY 30, 1987 Proposed 1987 hunting and fishing regulations to be discussed PABLO -- A few changes in the Tribes' hunting and fishing law are scheduled to take place on March 1, following a series of three public meetings early in February. March 1 is when Ordinance 44D is scheduled to take over from the almost-15-year-old Ordinance 44B. Most of the changes, as outlined in the proposed 1987 regulations, affect non-Tribal members. (The one exception concerns the hunting of moose by Indians off the Flathead Reservation. Those provisions were covered in Amendment #17 of 44B, however, so while they may be new to 44D, they shouldn't be news to Tribal members.) Two major new points concerning non-members include changing the violation of the ordinance from a criminal to a civil offense, and Tribal assumption of civil jurisdiction over non-members using the Reservation's fish, game and recreational resources. The age requirements and prices have also changed. Under 1987's proposed regulations, non-members 12 years of age and older (up to 65) have to buy a use-and-conservation permit. The previous age was 18. The price for an annual permit has been reduced from $10 to $5; however, HUNTING REMINDERS Tribal law prohibits the killing of female animals during the period of Feb. 1 to Sept. 1. Anyone witnessing the violation of any Tribal law is urged to report the incident immediately to Tribal enforcement personnel: 675-4600, 24 hours a day. separate fishing and waterfowl/ pheasant-hunting stamps must be purchased at $10 each before pursuit of those activities. Only the yearly $5 permits are available. Revenue raised from the sale of the permits will (Concludes on page two) MVP utility board members selected Five men have been chosen by the Tribal Council to serve on the Mission Valley Power utility board: Tribal members Thurman Trosper, Jack Glover, and Joel Clairmont; and non-Indians Paddy Trusler and Scott Walker. The announcement was made Jan. 23. The board members won't be going to work formally until sometime later this year, pending the outcome of a lawsuit that challenges the implementation of a Tribal-Interior Dept. management contract Tribal Chairman Mickey Pablo said the five board members were chosen now in spite of the lawsuit so they'd have adequate time in which to become familiar with the history and operation of the utility, which is part of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project. The Tribes' contracting of the FIIP power division, renamed "Mission Valley Power" by the Tribes, was due to go into effect last month. That implementation was delayed until at least June 1 after a Tribal-federal agreement was made in response to lawsuits filed by the Joint Board of Control. The JBC, which represents the interest of about 1,700 non-Indian irrigators, contends that the law (Concludes on the next page)

On April 18, a woman called deputies after finding an old acquaintance in her kitchen.
The Gypsum resident said she was sitting at the computer when she heard noises in the kitchen. She investigated, expecting to find her husband home early from work. A 43-year-old woman she hadn't seen in five years was standing in front of the refrigerator with the door open. The resident asked the intruder what she was doing and the woman replied, "Just looking."
The woman didn't appear normal to the resident. Her pupils were very small and she was shaking. The resident asked her to leave. The woman said, "Really," turned around and walked out the door, mumbling, "Sorry." She got into a car that was left running and drove off.
The resident didn't know what to do at first. She called deputies because she was concerned for the woman.
Officers contacted the suspect as she drove into the parking lot of an apartment where they thought she might be living. They asked her how she was feeling and if she had taken any drugs. The woman said she was feeling bad, hadn't taken her Prozac and had been drinking.
The deputies asked her to perform voluntary roadside tests, which she failed and they arrested her for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
She was jailed for DUI.
Deputies responded to a fight in progress at an Eagle-Vail apartment complex on April 15.
Two men who were brothers-in-law were drinking and got into an argument that turned physical. Another brother-in-law got involved and then an unknown woman hit one of the men in the head with a rock.
The 26- and 27-year-old men were treated for minor injuries. None of them wanted to press charges against anyone but one man was found to be in violation of a court order that prohibited him from drinking alcohol and he was arrested.
A woman at the scene was found to have a warrant for her arrest and she was taken to jail as well.
Around 5 a.m. on April 16, a deputy saw a car parked on Trail Gulch Road in Gypsum.
The car was idling and a 21-year-old man was slumped over the wheel, sleeping. The deputy tried to wake him for several minutes by knocking on the window and shining a flashlight in his eyes before he succeeded by kicking the tires and getting the steering wheel to move.
The officer asked the man if he was OK and if he knew where he was. The man said he was in Edwards, waiting for his sister to get off work at midnight. The man's speech was slurred and he displayed other signs of intoxication.
The deputy asked the man to get out of the car several times but the man resisted. Eventually the officer contacted the man's mother on his cell phone. The woman told her son to cooperate and refuse voluntary roadside tests and elect a blood test.
The man did as his mom suggested and was arrested for further investigation of DUI. He fell asleep in the back of the patrol car on the way to the hospital for a blood test, which the deputy noted as unusual for someone who had just been arrested.
The man was booked for DUI and obstructing a peace officer.
• An unlocked car was rummaged and some items were stolen from it while it was parked on Angela Lane in Edwards on April 11.
• A rock was thrown through the windshield of a parked car on Horse Mountain Road in Wolcott between April 8 and 13.
• A black Corvette parked at the residence of a Gypsum Town Council member on Riverview Road was "keyed" or scratched on every panel between April 13 and 14. An empty beer can was on the hood when the damage was discovered. The cost of repair is estimated at $5,000.
• A bike was stolen from a garage on Prairie Circle in Edwards on April 11 after the door was left open.
• Several items were stolen from an unlocked truck on Polar Star Road in Edwards on April 11.

ST. LOUIS -- The 49ers found what they'd lost, or forgotten, or ignored, or just discarded for a mysterious little while.
Hey, didn't you used to be Frank Gore?
And don't the 49ers always play better when they remember what No. 21 really means to them?
"We've got Frank Gore!" coach Jim Harbaugh said, with the man himself standing nearby. "And nobody does it better than Frank Gore."
On Thursday, the 49ers remembered that, just in time, and blasted to a 35-11 victory over the Rams at the Edward Jones Dome along the way.
At this suddenly urgent point in the season, the 49ers kept giving the ball to Gore and Gore kept stomping through Rams defenders, rushing 20 times and collecting 153 rushing yards, his most since the 2009 season.
Which abruptly ended the 49ers' losing streak and calmed things down after the franchise's most turbulent weeks since Harbaugh's arrival.
"It was a get-back-on-track game," a smiling Gore said after kibitzing and joking with Harbaugh on the podium.
"We lost two in a row and we know we can't lose again. We knew had to get back on track and just be us.
"That's playing smash-mouth football, playing great defense, playing great special teams, and that's what we do."
Yes, the 49ers played great, physical defense even without the injured Patrick Willis and the absent Aldon Smith, led by an unbelievable performance by NaVorro Bowman.
And yes, the 49ers offense kept things simple, letting Colin Kaepernick take efficient advantage of a scrambled defense.
So yes, the 49ers started to look and feel like the 49ers again. The power 49ers. The intimidating 49ers.
The Frank Gore 49ers.
And not the complicated, high-concept and erratic squad they were when they lost in Seattle two weeks ago.
Or the franchise that was distracted by controversy and drummed by Indianapolis last weekend.
The 49ers can be great with the Kaepernick pyrotechnics and possibly they need all of them to win a Super Bowl.
But to get themselves righted right now, they needed to return to their roots, to their soul ... and to Gore carrying the ball relentlessly and reliably after three very slow and frustrating weeks.
"As long as we're being the 49ers, we'll be all right," Gore said.
Amid the frivolity, Gore and Harbaugh both laughed off a report that they'd had a heated sideline exchange at the end of last week's game--which Harbaugh termed "erroneous, erroneous."
Wasn't Frank just a little bit frustrated that he only carried it 11 times against Indianapolis after a fast start and that the 49ers' running game had been nonfunctional in the first three games?
Didn't Gore maybe just say he wanted the ball?
"There's times Frank says, 'Give me the ball,'" Harbaugh said with a grin. "Said that tonight a couple times."
On the 49ers' second play, Gore ran for 18 yards. Later in the quarter, he picked up 27 yards. And the yards just kept coming as the 49ers exerted their will on the wilting Rams.
Whether Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman wanted to say it or not, it was clear: They were going to the physical game in this one, on the short week, and that meant giving it to Gore.
And Gore, who has heard all year that, as a 30-year-old tailback it's about time for him to slow down, was more than ready.
"Coach G-Ro went back to the basic stuff and we got going," Gore said.
Gore particularly showed it when the 49ers faced fourth-and-1 at the 34-yard line late in the first half.
What to do? Keep it simple: Kaepernick gave it to Gore, he got a few great blocks, broke a tackle, and in a blink he was in the end zone, giving the 49ers a 14-3 lead.
I asked Gore in the locker room later: Does he feel that the coaches sometimes almost forget about him at times?
"The coaches see me in practice, they know how much I love it," Gore said.
"I'm just here to play ball. I can't call the plays. I'm with whatever they call, do whatever. I'm at the state of my career, I play hard to help the team and win, man.
"I feel like I've got nothing to prove to anybody but my coaches and my teammates."
The 49ers activated LaMichael James for the first time this season; they have Kendall Hunter--and both seem like better fits for a high-speed Kaepernick-centric offense.
Also, the 49ers drafted Marcus Lattimore last spring with an eye toward next season.
And Gore famously didn't get the ball in four plays at the goal line at the end of the Super Bowl. That did not work.
So Gore sometimes can seem like a man on the wrong side of a 49ers' transition.
But a game like this, well, that is as good a reminder as anybody could need. The 49ers are at their best when Gore is ramming through and around defenders, and when things are simple.
Now the 49ers get a long week to prepare for Houston at Candlestick next Sunday and some lesser opponents after that.
So the 49ers are set up for a surge, and very possibly a six-game winning streak.
But the biggest thing is that the 49ers remembered what they have with Frank Gore, and where they can go when he's leading them.

About the Book
Fans of Artemis Fowl and Percy Jackson and the Olympians will definitely want to read Champions of Breakfast, the final book in Adam Rex's acclaimed Cold Cereal Saga, which Eoin Colfer called "totally original and wholly brilliant."
When we last left our kid heroes, Emily had managed to halt Queen Titania by closing a rift in the time-space continuum, trapping Scott, Mick, and her other friends in the magical other-England known as Pretannica. However, time is quickly running out before Nimue, who has been working through the corrupt Goodco Cereal Company, finds another portal and uses it to bring the mythical dragon Saxbriton into our world—and launch the terrible faerie invasion. In the end, it's up to Scott and his companions to save the fate of two worlds and put an end to Goodco once and for all.
Adam Rex ends the world as we know it—and the Cold Cereal Saga—with this hilarious and dazzling epic tale.
And lo, a hero will come, as the Prophecy has foretold.
And lo, he will be strong, and beautiful. Or she. He or she will be strong and beautiful, keeping in mind that words like these are hard to pin down. Like maybe the hero is beautiful on the inside or something? The Prophecy doesn't say exactly.
And yea, in the twilight of whatever year this is, the chosen one will arise and slay the Great Dragon, and release the Sugar Zombies from their enchantment, and thwart the Lady of the Lake in her plan to tear a door in the universe. The Prophecy says all this and more.
I don't have it with me; I can show it to you later if you want.
But lo! Lo, it is written that there shall be a handsome knight! And a time-traveling Merlin! And a stouthearted leprechaun! And a girl possessed of a frightening genius. And a boy who once won a second-place ribbon for apple carving at the Delaware County Fair, children 5–8 division. Though he was technically nine.
Read on, seeker of truth! Read on!

In 'All The Madmen', at the end he's supposed to say "Zane Zane Zane - Ouvre le Chien" Umm..but he pronounces it oddly.. Is he supposed to say that? (open the dog, lol)
He's being a madman... what do you expect him to say? "Open the door?" ;) "That which seems too good to be true is."
Lol, I know that. What I was trying to say was... he pronounces 'ouvre le chien' very wrong...was it supposed to be like that? I mean did he intend that? I'm not home right now I can't listen to it but i think he says it like "oovay le chan".
Ohhhhhhhh.... I dunno. "There are only two things that are for certain --the universe and human stupidity...and I'm not sure about the universe."-- Albert Einstein
I do not speak French, so I know little about the correct pronounciation of these words. What I can say, is that his "made up Polish" in Warszawa was not a very good impression. And likewise, people have remarked on poor pronounciation in songs such as "Helden". My Indonesian friend laughed when she heard the Indonesian version of "Amlapura", although she considers his attempt at "Don't Let Me Down" much better. Bowie does not have a good knowledge of French, so it would not surprise me if his pronounciation is not accurate. In 1997, he spoke English on French television and the interviewer translated for him. The Music is Outside
And his Spanish in "Al Alba" is excruciating.But despite the fact that he can't speak any of them to save his life, I respect his efforts. Too many people don't have any interest in or respect for other languages. I think it's terrific that Bowie does.WWYou may not like the things we doOnly idiots ignore the truth.It's easy to lie down and hideWhere's the warrior without his pride?
>> Bowie does not have a good knowledge of French, so it would not surprise me if his pronounciation is not accurate. > Yeah but don't you think someone like him who is gunna release a song, should atleast find out how a simple little phrase is pronounced? Thats why I think he intended it to be mispronounced, because I don't think that he couldn't have found out how its exact pronunciation. ...Agree?"MAKING LOVE WITH HIS EGO!!"
Perhaps his pronounciation sounded better, something like a ryhme. You say it sounds like "oovay le chan", that would place empasis on the "a" sound as in "zane". But I don't know speak French, so I am only guessing. The Music is Outside
In reply to:Bowie does not have a good knowledge of French
Bowie does not have a good knowledge of French
He doesn't? I thought that ouvre le chien meant "dog egg".Face to face, toe to toeHeart to heart as we hit the floor

Report from TPWD
High Plains Mallard Management Unit: Outfitters reported fair to good hunts for ducks on playa lakes and feed lots. Ducks have congregated on warmer feed lot ponds with freezing temperatures. Goose hunting has been good over wheat and plow ground. Snow the past few weeks has encouraged Canadas to feed and lose some of their late-season wariness. Larger Canadas have shown recently with freezing temperatures to the north. Snow geese have cooperated at times, mostly with stiff winds and a low ceiling. Some runoff from snow has filled playas, but wet playas remain a premium. Prospects are fair to good.
North Zone Duck: Duck hunters have taken good numbers of mallards in sloughs, creeks and river bottoms. Colder weather and frozen waterways to the north have encouraged more mallards to cross the state line. Most of Northeast Texas have received good rains the past two weeks, but overall, precipitation for the year remain well below average. Canvasbacks and other divers have been steady on Lake O'Pines, Toledo Bend, Lake Fork and Cooper Lake. Coves along Sam Rayburn have held wood ducks and gadwalls. Wood ducks have been steady at first light in the timber. Hunting has remained steady around the zone boundaries of IH-10. Shovelers, gadwalls and pintails have made up the brunt of the bag. Large flocks of green-winged teal have been absent. Prospects are fair to good.
South Zone Duck: The coast continues to produce steady duck shoots on the prairies, marshes and bays. Ducks had been scattered in rice fields with recent rains, but sheet water is drying up and sending birds back to traditional ponds. Gadwalls, wigeons, shovelers and pintails have been strong near El Campo, Eagle Lake, Garwood, Hungerford and Wharton. Large green-winged teal flocks have been absent on the prairie. Bay hunters have enjoyed limits to half-limits near Port O'Connor and Rockport of redheads, pintails, bluebills and the occasional wigeon. Low tides have relocated ducks from the back lakes to the shorelines. Snow geese are becoming tougher to hunt, but fog on the backside of cold fronts have helped the harvest. Many birds are using green fields of wheat and rye grass. Specklebellies have shied from calling. Sandhill crane numbers are good and most hunters are setting up along canal banks and fence rows and pass-shooting for their two-bird limit. Prospects are good.

Vail official report: 3" new snow as of 4:53 a.m.
Vail Daily field report: Some areas felt like a true three inches, others felt more like five-
Liftline status: Eagle Bahn gondola pretty crowded by 9 a.m.
Weather: Snowing! But also cold and windy. Bundle up out there.
Run of the Day: Ouzo was groomed yesterday and the new snow layered nicely on top
Breakdown: The incredible December continues! Vail measured 3 inches of new snow at 4:53 a.m., but it's been steadily dropping since then and wasn't letting up this morning out on the hill. Runs that were groomed yesterday or today have a fresh layer of dusty snow on top of a nice surface, and the ungroomed areas are a powder lover's paradise this morning. First-chair crowds weren't too bad for a powder day between Christmas and New Year's, presumably due to the car accidents in Dowd Junction this morning and the ensuing traffic. Downvalley commuters said the drive took 30 minutes longer than usual this morning, with eastbound traffic backed up past Avon.-
Snowcast: Looks like it should continue into tomorrow

Princeton Theological Seminary endeavors to model for the academy and the worldwide church a community of individuals who seek what is best for each other. The Seminary respects and significantly benefits from diversity as expressed through racial/ethnic, gender, cultural, disability, age, sexual orientation, religious/denominational, and socioeconomic differences among faculty, staff and students. It takes seriously its responsibility to offer educational and professional opportunities equitably to all qualified persons. The Seminary through its curriculum, programs, and services, endeavors to provide understanding and supportive interaction among diverse populations groups and respects individuals' personal values and ideas. Diversity for the Seminary is therefore particularly germane to this core perspective. A commitment to diversity is central to our mission of discovery and vocational exploration.
The transformation to being culturally proficient and diversity competent requires time to think, reflect, assess, decide, and change. To become culturally proficient, administrators, managers, staff, students, and faculty participate actively in work sessions, contributing their distinctive ideas, beliefs, feelings, and perceptions. Consequently, our contributions will involve us deeply in the process and make it easier for the entire community to commit to change.
Navigating the Waters is a Seminary-wide effort to truly commit ourselves to becoming a caring and inclusive community. We endeavor to explore and define tools of cultural proficiency and diversity competency to make this transformation through sustainable systemic change. Culturally proficient and diversity competent educators and administrators can confidently deliver programs and services, knowing that faculty, staff, and students genuinely want and can readily receive them without having their cultural connections denied, offended, or threatened. A culturally proficient seminary will provide opportunities for students, and thus, future leaders of the church with practical tools of engagement as they soon will confront the myriad of challenges posed by a diverse and pluralistic society.
This initiative is being coordinated through the efforts of a cross-sectional "Navigating Team" composed of students, faculty, administrators, and support staff. We welcome your thoughts and insights in this endeavor. For more information please communicate with us at [email protected].

Microsoft May Avoid Repatriation on Any Dell Investment
Microsoft may be able to deploy foreign cash to help finance a buyout of U.S. computer maker Dell without triggering repatriation taxes.
According to tax and accounting specialist Robert Willens, Microsoft could exploit an exception in the tax code so long as its investment in Dell doesn't surpass 25%.
"That could work beautifully," he said. "Microsoft can deploy foreign earnings without tax consequences."
Mr. Willens explained that the exception doesn't technically allow Microsoft to bring the money home to the U.S. It would have to keep any gains from the Dell investment in the overseas subsidiary.
However, the investment would likely allow Microsoft to boost returns on its overseas cash, as most of its money is now invested in very low-yielding U.S. government securities. Other companies, including Google Inc., have reportedly been seeking higher yielding investments for their cash recently.
Microsoft declined to comment. According to SEC filings, the company had $66.6 billion of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of September. Of that amount, $58 billion was held overseas.
According to reports, Microsoft is considering investing between $1 billion and $3 billion in a possible leveraged buyout of Dell by the company's founder, Michael Dell, and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.
A CNBC report said that Microsoft would provide some form of financing for the deal, perhaps in the form of preferred securities which could convert into equity at some point in the future.
"It doesn't mean that MSFT will end up with a significant equity stake in what is a private Dell," CNBC's David Faber said today.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Mr. Dell and Silver Lake have been working together to buy out Dell's public shareholders at a price of around $13 or $14 a share. "Silver Lake has been seeking banks to help fund the deal, as well as other potential co-investors such as a pension or sovereign wealth fund."

EPA Aims to Limit Greenhouse Gas Regulations to Large Facilities
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a rule that would limit future greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations under the Clean Air Act to large industrial facilities emitting the equivalent of 25,000 tons or more of carbon dioxide annually. The rule will also require a permit when major emitters of GHGs make modifications that increase their GHG emissions. That permit requirement will be triggered with emission increases equivalent to somewhere between 10,000 and 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide. The EPA isn't sure where exactly to set this "significance level" for modifications, and it is seeking comments on the best value to use. The proposed rule will limit GHG regulations to facilities such as power plants, refineries, and factories, which produce nearly 70% of U.S. GHGs.
The EPA is currently proposing to regulate GHGs from cars and light trucks under the Clean Air Act, as part of joint rule on fuel economy with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The EPA intends to finalize that regulation in the spring of 2010, and once that happens, GHGs will be treated as pollutants under the Clean Air Act. That would automatically trigger regulations for relatively small GHG emitters, a situation that the EPA is intending to avoid. Under the proposed rule, small and medium-sized businesses such as farms and restaurants, as well as many other facilities, would not be subject to GHG regulations. As noted in the proposed EPA rule, allowing GHG regulations to apply to relatively small emitters would cause state permitting authorities to be "paralyzed by permit application in numbers that are orders of magnitude greater than their current administrative resources could accommodate."
The proposed "tailoring" rule addresses six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. With the proposed industrial emissions thresholds, EPA estimates that 14,000 large sources would need to obtain operating permits that include GHG emissions because they exceed the 25,000 ton threshold. Most of these sources are already subject to clean air permitting requirements because they emit other pollutants. In addition, 400 new sources or modified sources would be subject to review each year for GHG emissions. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA will ensure that these new or modified sources are using the best available control technologies and energy efficiency systems to minimize GHG emissions. The EPA plans to develop sector- and source-specific guidance that will help permitting authorities and industrial facilities better understand GHG emissions for each type of facility, methods for estimating those emissions, available GHG measurement and monitoring techniques, and strategies to minimize GHG emissions. The EPA also plans to revisit its thresholds after five years to see if they can be lowered.
Under the proposed rule, the EPA estimates that about 3,000 GHG emitters will be newly subject to Clean Air Act permit requirements, and most of those will be municipal landfills. Landfills account for about 23% of human-caused methane emissions in the United States, and the new regulations are likely to encourage the capture of landfill methane emissions and their use as a renewable energy source. The proposed rule, announced by the EPA on September 30, will be open for public comment for 60 days once it has been published in the Federal Register. As of October 6, it had not yet been published. See the EPA press release, a fact sheet on the proposed rule, and the full proposal (PDF 533 KB). Download Adobe Reader.

Washington Program
Schedule in D.C.
The calendar in Washington corresponds to the academic calendar of the Claremont Colleges. Classes take place in the evenings at the CMC facility. Interns will sometimes take time off from their office work to attend special lectures, hearings, and other activities. When work-related, the amount of time devoted to such experiences is determined by each office. In the case of official events sponsored by the Washington Program, students must clear absences with their supervisors well in advance.

Competition has been fierce for the fifteenth annual P.U.-litzer Prizes
Many can plausibly lay claim to stinky media performances, but only a few can win a P.U.-litzer. As the judges for this un-coveted award, Jeff Cohen and I have deliberated with due care. (Jeff is the founder of the media watch group FAIR and author of the superb new book "Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media.")
And now, the winners of the P.U.-litzer Prizes for 2006:
* "FACT-FREE TRADE" AWARD -- New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman
In a press corps prone to cheer on corporate-drafted trade agreements as the key to peace and plenty in the world, no cheerleader is more fervent than Tom Friedman. During a CNBC interview with Tim Russert in July, Friedman confessed: "I was speaking out in Minnesota -- my hometown, in fact -- and a guy stood up in the audience, said, 'Mr. Friedman, is there any free trade agreement you'd oppose?' I said, 'No, absolutely not.' I said, 'You know what, sir? I wrote a column supporting the CAFTA, the Caribbean Free Trade initiative. I didn't even know what was in it. I just knew two words: free trade.'" (Friedman may not have read even the pact's title; CAFTA actually stands for the Central America Free Trade Agreement.)
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
* LOCK UP THE FIRST AMENDMENT PRIZE -- CNN's William Bennett
Soon after being hired as a CNN pundit, Bennett went on his radio talk show and offered his views on freedom of the press -- and on reporters who broke stories about warrantless wiretapping and secret CIA detention sites "against the wishes of the president, against the request of the president and others." Bennett fumed: "Are they embarrassed, are they arrested? No, they win Pulitzer Prizes. I don't think what they did was worthy of an award -- I think what they did was worthy of jail, and I think this investigation needs to go forward."
* BROKE-BRAIN MOUTHING AWARD -- MSNBC's Chris Matthews
As the movie "Brokeback Mountain" (about a relationship between two cowboys) was gaining attention and audience in January, Chris Matthews appeared on the Imus show to hail "the wonderful Michael Savage" and the talk-show host's nickname for the movie: "Bareback Mounting." Matthews and Savage had been MSNBC colleagues until "the wonderful" Savage was fired -- after referring to an apparently gay caller as a "sodomite" and telling him to "get AIDS and die." Now that's hardball
* CASUAL ABOUT CASUALTIES AWARD -- Fox mogul Rupert Murdoch
Echoing an Iraq war talking-point heard regularly on Fox News, owner Murdoch said on the eve of the November election: "The death toll, certainly of Americans there, by the terms of any previous war are quite minute." As FAIR noted, U.S. deaths in Iraq exceed those in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War, not to mention the combined U.S. deaths of all this country's other military actions since Vietnam -- including Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the first Gulf War, Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo and Afghanistan
* FRONT-PAGE PUNDIT AWARD -- Reporter Michael Gordon and The New York Times
With many voters telling pollsters that they want U.S. troops to leave Iraq, the Times front-paged a post-election analysis by Michael Gordon -- headlined "Get Out of Iraq Now? Not So Fast, Experts Say" -- quoting three hand-picked "experts" who decried the possibility of troop withdrawal. Gordon didn't tell readers that one of his "experts," former CIA analyst Ken Pollack, had relentlessly promoted an Iraq invasion based on wildly false claims about an Iraqi threat. Gordon took off his reporter's hat that night on CNN to become an unabashed advocate for his view that withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq would lead to "civil war" (as though civil war weren't already underway)
* "PROVE YOU'RE NOT A TRAITOR" PRIZE -- CNN's Glenn Beck
In November, Beck -- an Islamophobic host on CNN Headline News -- launched into his interview with Congressman-elect Keith Ellison, a Muslim American, this way: "I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.'" Beck then added: "And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way." Is it possible that primetime bigots like CNN's Beck have something to do with the prejudices "that a lot of Americans feel"?
* GROUNDHOG DAY AWARD -- Ted Koppel
One role of journalism should be to help the public learn from past government policy disasters in hopes of preventing future ones. But in a New York Times column on Oct. 2, former ABC News star Koppel wrote that Washington should tell Iran it is free to develop an atomic bomb -- with a Mafia-like warning: "If a dirty bomb explodes in Milwaukee, or some other nuclear device detonates in Baltimore or Wichita, if Israel or Egypt or Saudi Arabia should fall victim to a nuclear 'accident,' Iran should understand that the United States government will not search around for the perpetrator. The return address will be predetermined, and it will be somewhere in Iran." In other words, no matter what the evidence, Koppel urged our government to attack a predetermined foe, Iran. Didn't that happen in 2003 with Iraq?
So, there they are, the P.U.-litzer Prizes for 2006. Hold your nose and prepare yourself for 2007

Beyond the cubicle JUL 28 2011
Allison Arieff argues that companies and their workers should worry less about office design and focus more on how people want to work.
Two other factors often undervalued (and often ignored) in the workplace? Family and time. Architect Iris Regn and artist Rebecca Niederlander have been working to bring these into the conversation by exploring the intersection between creativity and family life in an ongoing collaborative effort they call Broodwork.
Don't be put off by the awkward name. Broodwork suggests that, far from being the hindrance it's often presented as, incorporating family into work can have overwhelmingly positive effects. Regn is trained as an architect but is open enough in her thinking to understand that in the scheme of things, the adjustability of her desk isn't going to have an impact on her creative process nearly as much as what her daughter might say tonight at the dinner table.
"The first impetus [of Broodwork] was to get people to acknowledge interweaving of creative practice and family life," she told me. "Not to have to hide [your family] when you have to go pick up your kid while at a meeting, for example. That raised eyebrow is going away. Yes, you're juggling. That's just part of the deal. When you talk to other parents, everyone knows the deal so why is it that in a professional setting that can't be brought to the table?

OAKLEY -- The City Council has decided to rethink who will serve as mayor this year in response to a council member's claim that he was shut out of the process.
Councilman Randy Pope called for a revote this week, arguing that his colleagues' decision to break with the tradition of rotating the mayor's seat deprives him of the chance to move into the top spot before the end of his term.
The council last month reappointed Kevin Romick to serve a second consecutive year as mayor after Vice Mayor Carol Rios declined the nomination, saying she couldn't devote sufficient time to the job while tending to her husband's medical needs.
Rios agreed to remain in her current seat instead. She was absent at Tuesday's meeting.
But preserving the status quo is a departure from the usual way of doing things: Since Oakley became a city 13 years ago, the vice mayor has stepped into the mayor's role after serving a year in the secondary position.
Pope was next in line to become vice mayor, so he was taken aback when the votes didn't go as expected.
"I'm trying not to take it personally, but as you can imagine, it's pretty hard not to," he said before proposing that the council reconsider its decision.
Rios already has been Oakley's mayor as has Romick -- both have held the office twice. Pope added that it would be the first time in the city's history that a council member has been deprived of the chance to be mayor.
Pope's term ends in 2014, which means that according to custom he would have to be vice mayor now to become mayor his final year in office.
Having the title is important to him for a number of reasons, Pope said after Tuesday's session.
Apart from the prestige that comes with the designation, the mayor decides which matters appear on council agendas and has the power to set the tone of public discussions, he said.
"You run the council meetings and I have my own ideas on how people who come to (them) should be treated," Pope said, noting that members of the public who have voiced their opinions sometimes have encountered the disrespect of dismissive attitudes from city officials.
"We work for them," Pope said. "We're not the emperor -- we're public servants. They are our bosses."
In the end, the rest of the council agreed to revisit the issue, which likely will happen at its Jan. 22 meeting.

This is such a POS. Another half hearted attempt to give mac users the ability to view WMV content that should have been encoded into flash or QT in the first place!
I'm fairly certain, that Windows Media is here to steal christmas from Baby Jesus!
Down with Windows Media... please.. oh please!!!
used infrequently....for those internet video streams (.wvx .wmv) that won't otherwise play on flip4mac or vlc
I'll use this once in a blue moon, usually when Flip4Mac isn't ready for a feature.
FLip is not available for intels and i still won't download this. Worst program for the mac i have ever seen. and that's a lot of programs
Dodgy. Get flip4mac.
This thing hasn't been updated in almost 3 years. I agree the Flip4Mac is a more reliable player; hopefully the intel mac version will be available soon.
i installed this. it was buggy and wouldn't play much of anything. it wouldn't play npr.org files nor xmradio.com. then i downloaded the flip4mac universal beta and it played everything. so i uninstalled WMP 9...
FYI, you may also want to consider Flip4Mac as an alternative to this (as suggested by Microsoft):

MARIETTA - Work does not get boring for Pamela Jackson, fiscal officer for the Village of Beverly.
In her role, Jackson manages the village finances, prepares statements, conducts audits, looks into grants and handles employee payroll.
However, her duties do not stop with the city finances. She also serves as council clerk, manages the mayor's office, acts as a human resources agent and provides a liaison between the village and agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Question: How long have you been fiscal officer for the Village of Beverly? What did you do before that?
Answer: Well, I worked at Broughton Foods for 20 years. I ended there in accounts receivable credit management. I also worked for the American Legion Auxiliary state headquarters for eight years in Zanesville.
I started here in 2009, so it has been a little over three years with the village.
Q: What does your role as fiscal officer entail?
A: Clerk and treasurer pretty much describe it. I wear many hats, you might say. Finances are my top priority. I am responsible for statements, audits, accounts payable, accounts receivable and grants. Then I also wear the hat of human resources. I am in charge of payroll, employee benefits, retirement, insurance, workers compensation. Then I am the council clerk. I am responsible for writing the legislation, minutes, correspondence. I am responsible for overseeing the public records.
And in general, I hold the position of administrator here as office manager and the supervisor for the income tax and water and sewer department. I work with various agencies like FEMA and EPA, and ODNR. I work with county agencies like the health department, Children Services, and of course the auditor. I kind of oversee the cemeteries and the swimming pool. I help the police and fire departments. I work with contractors and engineers. It kind of encompasses it all. It is a very diverse position.
Q: What is your average day like?
A: Today I had the FEMA guy in and we finalized our claim for some storm damage that happened this summer. I worked on a building permit on the flood plain which require several permits and applications. I worked on paying some bills today. I'm going to be working on payroll this afternoon. We just received notice today from the Marietta Community Foundation that we received a $2,000 grant for some work in our park and I've been working on that.
Q: What is the hardest aspect of your job?
A: The hardest part is trying to get everything done in the time frame, meeting deadlines. It is a challenge sometimes to get everything done by deadline.
Q: What's your favorite part of serving the Village of Beverly?
A: Just being a part of the many challenges and successes of providing services to the residents and businesses in Beverly. You know you receive grants and things for like the new sidewalks being built and the repairs to the park and the swimming pool. It is just nice to be able to see the accomplishments that we make.
Q: Do you have any favorite memories of your time in Beverly?
A: I've been here almost three and a half years. I think I just enjoy working with the employees. The employees here are so dedicated. It is such a team effort and it is nice to be a part of that.
Q: What do you like to do when you are not at work?
A: I have a Jack Russell terrier dog that I love spending time with. And just spending time with friends and family. The American Legion Auxiliary is a big part of my life. I am a 45-year member of the auxiliary. I was Americanism Chairman for many years. I served on the Buckeye Girls State Board of Directors. I'm on the National Internal Audit Committee. So I've held positions with them as a volunteer on the local, state and national levels.

Joe Jackson was in a Las Vegas hospital Friday, a day after suffering what's being called a "mild" stroke.
The 83-year-old Jackson family patriarch "is in very good spirits" and expects to be sent home from the hospital Friday, said a Jackson family source who asked not to be identified.
It was probably that Bubbles. He just can't keep his mouth shut sometimes.
The "mild" stroke is similar to two others he suffered within the past five years, another source close to Jackson said.
Jackson created and managed the Jackson 5. Although he's still married to Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson, they live separately. He has a home in Las Vegas, while she lives in Calabasas with Michael Jackson's three children.

Amsterdam Journal
September 15, 2011
When I tell people what we did for vacation this year, I often get an incredulous look or a comment like, "Interesting itinerary!" All I can say is, there were places I hadn't been in Europe that I wanted to see. With an invitation to meet my in-laws in Rome, this seemed like a good opportunity to see some new locations!
So where did we go during our eight nights away? We flew from San Francisco to Amsterdam for two nights, then took the train into Germany where we stayed one night in Cologne (fantastic, amazing cathedral!); the next morning we took another train to Koblenz, where we boarded a boat to travel up the Rhine River, through a UNESCO World Heritage-protected region with a castle around every bend. We hopped off the boat in St. Goar and took another train to Mainz for one night. The next morning, we caught a train to Frankfurt , and flew to Rome for our last four nights.
Here are a few notes from our Amsterdam segment….
• Ten hours in an economy class seat is not a great way to start a vacation. Sell your clients on business or premium economy if they can afford it
• Amsterdam is a lovely city and I highly recommend it. The destination combines well with London and Paris, Brussels, and Germany…less commonly with Italy, but it can be done (I am living proof of that!).
• One of the surprises (to me) was that because Amsterdam is so far north, it stays light in the summer until almost 10 p.m., which gives you more time for sightseeing and wandering around the city ... which by the way, feels very safe to wander around in. It's a great place to be a tourist!
• Classic's transfer company, The Dutch Connection, goes out of its way to make Classic customers comfortable, and offers an impressive array of day tours. If we'd had more time, I would have loved to do a day trip into the country. April and May are great months to visit tulip farms. I'd love to see them (and the windmills) on my next visit!
• Sofitel The Grand Amsterdam has an interesting history, including a period as a former city government building. The hotel offers a complimentary daily tour that covers historical highlights…including the wedding chapel, the ballroom, and a famous Karl Appel mural that was covered up for decades due to its political sensitivity. Appel based the design, "Inquisitive Children," on starving children who were begging in the aftermath of World War II. In addition to viewing the hotel's most interesting public spaces, the tour offers a sense of the city's history, as well
• Unique selling feature at Sofitel The Grand Amsterdam: the spa-jetted tub that faces the flat-screen television in the junior suite bathroom wall. You can sit and soak and watch your Soap all at the same time! The in-room espresso maker also was popular during our visit….
• BEST INSIDER TIP for Amsterdam sightseeing: Tell your clients to order their Anne Frank House Museum tickets online and print them at home before they leave. Anne Frank tickets are sold only at the door, or are sold online for certain time slots. The online tickets often sell out. This tip will save your clients a long, long wait in line. Other museum tickets – the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum – can be acquired at the concierge desk from the hotel (bring Euros, because you'll need to pay cash)
• Speaking of the Anne Frank house, Classic's other hotel, The Pulitzer, a Starwood Hotel, is nearby. We loved the bar at The Pulitzer and especially the friendly waiter who sold us on trying the city's native dish: a fresh (raw) salty herring. Yummm! (really!) The bartender made special drinks for us, or at least he claimed he did. You can try ordering "Mark's Sunrise" if you visit….
• Then again, there's always the beer. Those who like beer tell me it's very tasty
• Sofitel The Grand Amsterdam has a great central location, close to the Dam (square) and within walking distance of the art museums, canal boats, and … the red light district! The famous neighborhood was deserted when we walked through it on our way to Centraal Station our last morning there. The rail station is within walking distance of the Sofitel only if you can handle your luggage by hand…otherwise, clients would need to take a taxi
