Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
Numbers killed - Irving's claims
11.6 The estimates placed by Irving in succeeding editions of Dresden and in his speeches on the number of fatalities due to the bombing of Dresden are as follows:
- (i)in the 1966 edition of The Destruction of Dresden Irving contended that 135,000 were estimated authoritatively to have been killed and further contended that the documentation suggested a figure between 100,00 and 250,000;
- (ii)in the 1971 edition the figure for those killed was placed at more than 100,000;
- (iii)in 1989 when launching the 'Leuchter Report' in Britain Irving informed journalists present that between 100,000 and 250,000 were killed;
- (iv)in 1992 Irving told the Institute of Historical Review that 100,000 people were killed in twelve hours by the British and the Americans;
- (v)in 1993 in a video made for the Australian public Irving contended that over 130,000 died;
- (vi)in the 1995 edition of The Destruction of Dresden the attack was estimated to have killed 50,000 and 100,000 inhabitants;
- (vii)in 1996 in Goebbels: The Mastermind of the Third Reich Irving noted that between 60,000 and 100,000 people has been killed in the raids on Dresden.
11.7 Other such claims made by Irving include the following:
- (i)in a speech in South Africa in 1986 Irving stated that 100,000 people were killed in one night in Dresden;
- (ii)in Ontario in 1991 he told and an audience that over 100,000 people were killed in one night in February 1945;
- (iii)in a television documentary screened on 28 November 1991 Irving said that 25,000 people may have been executed in Auschwitz but five times that number were killed in Dresden in one night, and
- (iv)at the launch of the 'Leuchter Report' to in 1989 Irving stated that there were 1,000,000 refugees in Dresden of whom "hundreds of thousands" were killed.
11.8 In his Reply in the present action Irving asserted an intention to prove at trial that estimates of casualties in Dresden have indeed ranged between 35,000 and 250,000. At trial he testified that the best margins for figures which he would accept were between 60,000 and 100,000. Irving contended that earlier estimates had been inflated by the communist government of East Germany (in which Dresden was situated) for essentially political reasons. He denied that he had been responsible for some of the claims made on the dustjacket of the paperback editions of The Destruction of Dresden.

An offensive brute, a scoundrel, the lowest form of life. Possibly a label for the worst level of human living, worse then slavery. Nicknamed after the worst president of all time, or can be referring to that president. A jackass, a sexually depraved parasitic creature who feeds on the hopeless minds of adult america, an organism who would rather have oil then his country's love. Some call him a racist, but most look at him as something bigger, a fascist like the pope. Another use of this name is an error, or any thing described to the personification of the jackass himself
Damn he just pulled a president bush!

Bayne captures pole position for Nationwide race
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 12:11 a.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Trevor Bayne's Thursday wrapped up about as bad as it could have.
At Daytona Beach, Fla.
1:15 p.m., ESPN
After getting collected in a crash that started when Denny Hamlin's car got loose and pushed Carl Edwards into the wall on Lap 52 of the Sprint Cup's first Budweiser Duel qualifying race, Bayne went to the infield care center while his mangled car headed to the garage.
But Friday, the fresh-faced, 22-year-old wore a smile again as he talked to the media after his No. 6 car took the pole for the Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300, which is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. today.
"I'm starting to like this stage up here pretty good," Bayne said as he settled in to speak with the press at the infield media center. "It normally means something good happens, but I'm happy about our pole."
Bayne turned the 2.5-mile tri-oval at Daytona International Speedway in 177.162 mph. He hit the track 26th out of the 45 cars in the qualifying round, and he said the earlier run worked in his favor.
"In practice we thought about that and Mike (Kelley), being the crew chief that he is, he was already looking ahead and said it looked like winds were going to pick up later in the day," Bayne said. "So when we went out and did the tandem drafting, I kept pulling out to try to slow the car down to make sure we didn't go too fast and we could go early in the qualifying, and it seemed like it worked out.
"Later on in qualifying, the winds were picking up and the flags were blowing more."
It was Bayne's sixth pole in 86 Nationwide Series races, and a good start for the No. 6 car which has won the last two Nationwide Series drivers' championships with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. behind the wheel.
"This whole team, I've been talking them up the entire offseason," Bayne said. "But that is because they deserve it. This group of guys, they have won two championships in a row and there is a reason for that.
"Ricky Stenhouse did them a ton of justice, and he's done a great job in that car, but I'm excited to be the guy driving it this year, and we've started off with a bang."
Sam Hornish Jr. posted a speed of 176.869 mph and will start on the outside of Bayne up front. Parker Kligerman (third at 176.800) and Travis Pastrana (fourth at 176.637) will make up Row 2 in the 40-car field.
"You are going to see packs of tandem racing," Hornish Jr. said of today's race. "The great thing about the temperature we are going to have for (Saturday) is the tires will wear a little bit more and it will make everything a little bit slicker, and you are going to have some guys that will eventually tandem race."
Tandem-racing would figure to suit the pole-sitter just fine. Bayne won the 2011 Daytona 500 that way and said that experience should transfer into today's race.
"Anytime you get experience in Victory Lane at a race track, it brings your confidence up when you go back," Bayne said.
"I wish we could have run a little bit better (Thursday), but we'll have that opportunity (Saturday) in the Nationwide Series."

but once the JAm start all you hear is Fish flying all over the place and Page's fingers buggin out like this is a third set from the Bomb Factory. Trey is content to just ride the train typical of the 94 sound. I've been trying to come up with a name for it .SonicTrain Rock. FlyingBuilding Funk. This is a great example of it. Santana famously called trey a hose watering the phans. He sparys all over this one and the bend is as tight ( but loose) as you could get. Great opener. The crowd level is markedly different.
When Fish starts Foam there whistles from those in the know but its obvious its not a northeast show. You can hear a pin drop during the orchestrated parts . Once page starts to jam its like they're at the Blue NOte. or in Europe. Page finishes and Trey rightly brings the band to complete silence lol hilarious. they come back and they just sound so
pretty. The end is fantastic for Foam.
Again though the place is quiet in between songs.
Axilla gets the place rockin. Was the first song I ever heard Phish play live 6/28/95 but it was part two, which I like better because of the line "The weapons in they're hooves revolved!" so dramatic and detailed.
Very interesting Mike intro to DWD. Trey takes rock star status . Instead of laying into the flying hose of music frame they get into in 94 his guitar is clearly in the forefront of this jam and we benefit. Trey goes nanners. Lets us know who's who and what's what. The crowd shows love and they take us into bouncing that gets recointion from the crowd
Stash is starts and it was cute to hear the 20 or so people who clapped during the song!
This stash jam starts like none I've ever heard. I remember hearing on a 93 tape trey remarking how he liked that the audience was nice and quiet. The band immediatley takes trey's theme and you can tell we're going on a ride. Mike and Trey shine here but the band is bouncing off the walls . They show why they are the masters of tension and release. Fish doesn't go nuts but uses his cymbals to gently push the song. Mike has a bass episode in the middle which is fun. you forget what song they're playing and then an atom bomb is dropped or more like sprayed on you the last like 2 minutes and you here stash in there. and then "MAybe So, MAybe Not".
laid back 2001 starts the second set. The crowd you sense is finally giving the band some spiritual energy. Its repaid with am Antelope.
Trey lets this one come to him. Riding that 94 SONICTRAIN . when he takes the jam over its with a purpose with Mike. They both are trading licks and its awesome. Trey and Mike are in the same octave its almost like two basses while fish keeps the beat steady and dance worthy. Then they turn left. It gets to that computer funk jam. Repeated figures over Fish. Ear candy for Antelope fans. Mike teased something you could tell ( Mystery Achievement Isee lol) then trey changes the rhythm and then back to running. at about 10 minutes in I had earvisions of the Campus Club 3/31/92 BBFAntelopes From mars. If you ever heard that Antelope imagine that crazy franticness without the band stopping to say the words of BBFCFM. At 12 min you're on a Guyute type ride back into the Antelope theme but on steroids and crystal meth. Its ice and fee are cool the rest of the show could be its own classic set on paper
Julius. You know trey is going to murder this after what he did to Stash, Antelope,DWD. This period to me is marked by how Trey recognized how large their sound had gotten and that if he just sat back and was a gentleman about it they could take the top of your head off.
Cavern cool. YEM!! the crowd is still quiet while they are playing but this is a different quiet. This is rapt attention.
This is BEautiful music. Trey changes the voice on his guitar for the solo during the orchestrated part. Never heard him do that before.
Very interesting jam. Again Trey brings the band to silence then he hits a pedal and we get a nice little funk groove. but thats about it. HAlleys is short and sweet.
GTBT one of their best covers. lots of energy. if you'd been listening to them in 93 you know they tear this apart so I'd be pumped to hear what they are gonna do to this song on this night. They did not disappoint. At one point Trey and Mike let us know they are of one mind. then trey and Fish let us know. then trey and Page's organ and then back to all four bouncing around your brain. sick . 3 stars cuz crowd level was weak and some sloppy stuff

On top of that I had no idea what path to walk to get back out to continue playing. All that with nothing but mud on the ground in the forest on a hot day like that, not really my thing. =/. I did enjoy hole 1, even though my disc went in the forest and it took 45 minutes to look for >_> and also enjoyed the last few holes.

It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan, "Chronicle"), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

HitFix Reviews and Ratings
B-'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' both corrects many of the mistakes of the first film but also packs in a ton of world-building. The problem is that the film feels more like a collection of pieces than a finished film, even if this is in many ways the Spider-Man fans have been waiting for.

The Energy Smart program is nearing the end of it's three-year grant cycle but it's been such a success that administrators want to find a way to keep it going independently.
Energy Smart started as a partnership between Eagle, Pitkin and Gunnison counties in August 2010 with a $4.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. The intention was to encourage energy conservation and create jobs. It took a while for the program to get rolling but it has proven itself, Commissioner Jon Stavney said last week during an update with Energy Smart administrators.
Energy Smart Program Manager Adam Palmer and the rest of the team want to find a way to keep a good thing going, as opposed to letting the program fade away at the end of the grant.
The board of commissioners is supportive of that goal. Stavney told the Energy Smart team, which includes several Eagle County staff members, to come up with a plan for getting the program to become self-sustaining. He said surplus funds from the Eco-Build program could potentially be used to help Energy Smart operate to the end of the year and buy more time to find a solution.
Energy Smart offers energy assessments to homes and businesses, offers incentives to make them more efficient and also helps people find ways to finance upgrades. The other end of the program promotes jobs by certifying local contractors to do the assessments and upgrades.
In the report presented last week, $3.7 million has been spent on retrofits since Energy Smart launched in January 2011 and the total annual energy savings amount to $460,000. There are currently 153 contractor partners and 18,600 hours worked in homes. The annual carbon savings is 4.8 million pounds.
"There is also a home-safety component," said Yuri Kostick, who is an Energy Smart Home Energy Advisor and a sustainable project manager for Eagle County. "I was surprised how many carbon-monoxide leaks we found."
Since the program started, 208 gas leaks or high levels of carbon monoxide have been found by home energy assessments.
"I never imagined we would find that many," Kostick said.
Eco-Build could be a viable short-term help to get Energy Smart through its transitional period because Eco-Build has a record-high fund balance of $310,000.
The Eco-Build Fund was created in 2006 as part of the cash-in-lieu option for builders to meet the Eco-Build Efficient Building Code. The fund is collected from what are essentially penalty fees, primarily from snowmelt systems in patios and driveways. The idea of the program is to help offset environmental impacts caused by new construction through offsite mitigation.
The fund has grown steadily in the last two years - enough that it is switching to a fiscal budget. Last week, the commissioners approved granting approximately $50,000 of that budget to Habitat for Humanity's project in Stratton Flats in Gypsum. Other than that, the money remaining in the Eco-Build Fund is not yet committed to anything, especially because the fund's solar rebate program is on hold while that program's administration is being transferred to the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability.
That's why commissioners entertained the idea of using Eco-Build to help Energy Smart get on its feet.
"The headline should be, 'Trying to keep the lights on at Energy Smart,'" Stavney joked.
The Energy Smart team appreciated the support but agreed they might not need the extra time or the Eco-Build Fund to get Energy Smart on its own legs.
The Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability works collaboratively with partners that include Eagle County and Holy Cross Energy to promote sustainable practices. Kim Langmaid recently started as the new president and CEO of the Alliance and she introduced herself at last week's meeting, as the Alliance works with Energy Smart and Eco-Build.
"I want us to all put our heads together and find a way to keep (Energy Smart) alive," said Commissioner Sara Fisher.

Eastern box turtle
The box turtle has a hinge on its lower shell that allows it to close its shell almost completely. This occurs in addition to pulling its head, legs and tail into the shell if it is confronted by danger.
In northern regions of the United States, box turtles hibernate from October or November until April. To do this, they burrow into loose earth or mud—sometimes alone and sometimes with other turtles.
Box turtles are mostly carnivorous as juveniles, but become mostly herbivorous as adults. They enjoy snails, insects, berries, fungi, slugs, worms, roots, flowers, fish, frogs, salamanders, snakes, birds, and eggs.
Female box turtles can lay fertile eggs for up to four years after one successful mating. The female generally digs a nest in the sand or soil, lays three to eight eggs, and then fills the hole. She can lay several clutches of eggs in one year.
Range: eastern United States
Habitat: forests, open woodlands

Look for Disc Golf Live video magazine on your local access station soon. Here's a link:
A few days ago I got hooked up with a file-sharing service for Public Access and similar stations. I've posted a few of my recent shows and a bunch of new stations have downloaded the material, including Fairfield.
I don't know more details but expect the show in their line-up soon. Let the station know you're watching and they'll probably schedule more broadcasts.
Best regards to all,

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Adam Merchant had a wish and a command for the New York Giants.
The 15-year-old fan from Barre, Vt., attended practice and then Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He wanted the Giants to snap their two-game slide and get out of their offensive funk.
So he ordered the Giants to "play like world champions," and they delivered a 38-10 rout of the Packers.
"That was the theme of our meetings," coach Tom Coughlin said.
Eli Manning came back from the bye week with a rested arm, and that offensive slump was tossed aside. The Giants (7-4) said they turned things around for themselves, and for Merchant, who has cancer.
"It is sad when you think about it -- they have one wish, what you want to do, and he wanted to come to Giants practice ... and to a game," Manning said after throwing for three scores to set a team record with 200 touchdown passes for his career. "He said, 'Go show everybody you are the world champions and why you are the world champions and play that way.' Everybody got fired up and played the way we know we can."
The Packers (7-4) certainly did not. The showcase game was decided early as the Giants outscored the Packers 31-10 in the opening half to end Green Bay's five-game winning streak. While New York took a two-game lead in the NFC East, Green Bay fell out of a tie with Chicago atop the NFC North.
The Packers were missing such key starters as linebacker Clay Matthews, defensive back Charles Woodson and wide receiver Greg Jennings, and it showed. After being manhandled in last season's playoffs by the Giants, who went on to win the Super Bowl, the Packers weren't much more competitive this time. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times, including twice by Mathias Kiwanuka, who spent much of the game at defensive tackle rather than in his usual linebacker spot.
"When your quarterback is under pressure like that, it affected me tonight," coach Mike McCarthy said of his play-calling. "I probably didn't call the best game I've called. You have to protect your quarterback. It's your No. 1 responsibility. That's not what we're looking for."
New York's balanced attack was guided by Manning, who had his first strong game in a month with 249 yards passing.
"I never thought my arm was tired, never felt like it," Manning said. "After a week off, you come back to practice, it felt good, alive, balls coming out with a little pop on it.
"After 10 weeks, it definitely needed a little rest."
Coughlin knew Manning would return with some extra verve.
"There was no doubt he was going to come back and play well," Coughlin said. "The rest really helped him. ... Eli said he felt as if he was coming back for the start of the season. I was very confident he would come back and be Eli."
The 31 points were the most New York scored in a half all season and nearly equaled the 33 it scored in its two losses before the bye.
"We were ready to play, but this is a hard business," Packers general manager Ted Thompson said. "There wasn't a lot going for us."
Manning's 200th TD pass -- a 13-yarder to Hakeem Nicks -- moved him ahead of Phil Simms on the Giants' career list.
"There was a different enthusiasm in practices," Manning said, "and that paid off in the game."
It paid off for the Giants, and for their young fan.
"It kind of hit home," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "You got this kid that don't know us from James and watches us on TV every Sunday and it's so profound."

But the postseason is coming, and ultimately the Cardinal could get a rematch with the team against whom every program is measured. Top-ranked and unbeaten Connecticut defeated Stanford 76-57 on Nov. 11, and VanDerveer is convinced she has a different team now.
At 26-2, having already clinched the Pac-12 regular-season title, Stanford appears positioned to return to the Final Four after a miss last season interrupted a five-year run into the season's final weekend.
"I think our team in some ways can see the finish line, and we're making that kick right now," she said. "If they're not kicking, I'm kicking them."
VanDerveer has utilized this team's depth as a prod all season. Her rotation goes 10 or 11 deep, and 12 different players have started at least one game, including all five freshmen.
"I think it sends a message we're not set on a starting lineup," she said. "It's a meritocracy. If you play well, you're going to play."
In particular, Stanford's backcourt is better than a year ago. Three guards in the rotation, including starter Lili Thompson, are freshmen. But after 28 games, star forward Chiney Ogwumike said, "We don't see anyone as freshmen now."
Both the rotation and the starting lineup have been dictated at times by injuries, other times by matchups. But players given a chance have invariably delivered, VanDerveer said, and that creates more depth.
"If I had a magic wand and could wave it over our team," she said, "I would like to get more contributions from our frontcourt, from Erica McCall and Kailee Johnson and Tess Picknell."
The Cardinal couldn't ask for more from Ogwumike, who averages 26.5 points and 12.1 rebounds. But she says the greater versatility of this team has made it tougher for opponents to gang up on her.
"We have a lot of offensive weapons," Ogwumike said. "If we're shooting well, you have to pick your poison. People's confidence levels are high right now, and with that defenses have to be much more honest."
VanDerveer agrees. "I think we're a much better team now for sure," she said.
Stanford is expected to be a No. 1 NCAA tournament seed with opening-weekend games at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion. Win there and the Cardinal returns to Maples Pavilion for the regional semifinals and final.
Ogwumike understands the unforgiving nature of the NCAA tournament.
"It's not necessarily which team is the best team. It's the team that's playing at their best at the right time," she said. "Our team is turning the corner. If we're playing well, I feel like the sky's the limit."
UConn awaits.
"Kameron's excited about every game," said Cal coach Mike Montgomery, whose Stanford teams competed against Sean Rooks. Unlike his dad, who was redshirted as a freshman, Kameron has played as a reserve in 25 of the Bears' 27 games.
Sean Rooks went on to play 12 seasons in the NBA, but Montgomery said there are clear comparisons. "Spittin' image," he said. "Very similar, not very explosive. Big-body guys."
There is one difference: Sean Rooks played at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds. His son is 7 feet, 270.
But the Zags are coming off losses at BYU and San Diego and have dropped out of the AP Top 25. If they lose twice more this week, could their status as an NCAA tournament at-large candidate be in jeopardy?
It's possible. Gonzaga still boasts a strong No. 29 RPI computer ranking but is just 1-3 against the top-50 and has piled up 12 wins (plus two losses) to teams above 150 in the RPI.

First we had the mysterious Google barge lurking for months on San Francisco Bay, setting off all manner of wild speculation.
On Friday, it was Amazon's turn to mess with our heads.
In a carefully executed, daylong publicity stunt, Amazon and its marketing partner Nissan plopped a huge, canary-yellow storage box in the middle of Justin Herman Plaza, just across the Embarcadero from San Francisco's storied Ferry Building. Measuring 20 feet long, 16 feet wide and 8 feet high, the box was designed to show off Amazon's burgeoning stable of delivery lockers, where customers can pick up items ordered from the online shopping site.
But what's inside this behemoth, you ask?
"Water, I bet," said a homeless onlooker who identified himself simply as "Javier." "Water for drinking."
Nice try.
"I saw on Twitter that they're giving away a car," said designer Meredith Lyon, as she gazed across the plaza at the shiny hulk of metal and stainless steel, nearly three times the size of the more than two dozen lockers Amazon has opened around the Bay Area in stores like 7-Eleven.
Lyon was pretty close.
"Our mission is to try to help people find anything to buy," said Amazon spokeswoman Kristin Mariani, standing near the strange box and lowering her voice to a whisper: "There's a brand-new Nissan Rogue inside that someone will win today."
The double-barreled publicity stunt had giggling onlookers lined up to get a special code giving them a chance to win one of the prizes, including the car, stashed inside the crate. It gave Amazon a high-profile stage to show off its new locker-based delivery system.
But the box also let Nissan puff up its own feathers by showing off and giving away a car with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $22,790. The two companies have made marketing music together before -- earlier this year, as part a promotion, Amazon delivered a Nissan Versa in a box with the e-commerce giant's familiar smiling logo.
"This is a great campaign," said visiting Seattle lawyer Mary Gaston, who watched as a crowd of mesmerized office workers and tourists gathered around the box. "I'm a huge Amazon customer, and even though I haven't used the lockers yet for pickup, they seem like a smart and safe way to get your packages. Amazon has changed the way we shop; I even get my toilet paper from them now."

In a story you'll only see on 12, Augusta commissioners are looking into claims of discrimination and harassment in one of the city's largest departments.
Augusta's Parks and Recreation Department has some 130 employees. After complaints from some of them, city leaders are now involved. One name has been brought up in nearly all of the complaints: department head Tom Beck.
Beck knows city leaders have a close eye on him and his staff.
"We're an open book," he says. "Anything that wants to be looked into, I'm all for it."
News 12 has learned the Augusta Commission is investigating personnel and operation policies within the department.
Commissioner Marion Williams says complaints include alleged racial and gender discrimination, employees drinking beer while working at the city's golf course, and missing money.
"Those allegations, as far as I'm concerned, are completely unfounded," Beck says.
Beck says he believes the claims are personal attacks from a few commissioners and a small group of employees.
We asked Beck if he thought he'd been fair.
"Absolutely I do," he said.
According to grievances filed in Augusta's HR department, some current and former employees say Beck has created a hostile work environment...and there are claims of harassment, discrimination, and employees being passed over for promotion.
One employee writes that Tom Beck knows that no one will discipline him because of his friendship with white males in management.
"Have those issues been brought to my attention by some employees? Yes, they have," Beck says. "I feel I've addressed those issues. I do not feel like they're warranted."
Some commissioners say they have'nt been addressed, and that's why the investigation is necessary. Commissioner Calvin Holland says he knows of issues at the golf course first hand.
"Commissioner Williams and myself went up there," Holland says. "We got in the golf cart, we drove around the golf course, we observed some things that were neglected."
Some officials say they want to know why course play has decreased by thirty percent over the years, and why the department is in the hole.
Beck says he has answers, but when he showed up to a recent public meeting where the department was being discussed, he was told to leave.
"The only way you can get answers is to ask the person responsible," he says. "And I am responsible."
We did learn one of the department's former employees has filed a lawsuit against the city.
Also, commissioners wouldn't say much about what, if anything, has been revealed so far through this investigation. The committee will meet on Monday.
News 12 asked Tom Beck if he feared losing his job after the investigation is complete. He says he has been fair, but "Let the chips fall where they may".

There's no doubt that Rolls-Royces are one of the most eye-catching vehicles on the road today. People on the street see the distinctly bold front end, the Spirit of Ecstacy riding proudly upright, and the luxury paint jobs and know that somebody really important, or extremely wealthy, is sitting behind those glass window barriers. However, most don't fully understand that it is the craftsmanship inside the cabin that gives Rolls-Royce customers the true lifestyle they desire.
The high-class automobile brand recently opened a massive 9,200-square-foot showroom, the biggest in North America, and second-biggest in the world in Jericho, Long Island, housing the biggest customization room in the world. We were able to attend the opening and speak with the head of leather at Rolls-Royce Andrew Monachan. We had the pleasure to grill him about the artistry of leather production, what separates Rolls-Royce from other luxury cars, and how the company manages to keep up with the high demand and expectations of its customer base. Hit the jump to meet the man behind the leather.

La. high court's first black chief justice sworn in
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 10:38 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Bernette Johnson has been sworn in as the first black chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, less than four months after her colleagues resolved a dispute over whether she was entitled to the position.
Johnson took her oath of office during a brief ceremony today, a day after her predecessor, Catherine "Kitty" Kimball, formally retired. A public ceremony marking her investiture is scheduled for Feb. 28.
Johnson sued in July after her colleagues said they would debate whether she or Justice Jeffrey Victory, who is white, had the seniority that entitled them to succeed Kimball.
The state's highest court ended the racially tinged power struggle in October, ruling that Johnson's years of appointed service count when deciding which justice is "oldest in point of service" under the state constitution.

Selena Gomez was spotted leaving Justin Bieber's house Saturday morning in Los Angeles.
Obviously he invited her over for breakfast so they could discuss their friendship moving forward in a positive fashion.
The only problem with that theory is that TMZ said breakfast started the night before.
The pair called it quits early last month and haven't been seen together since. But apparently they haven't had enough of each other.
Bieber tweeted on Saturday that he's "gonna focus on the positive. i understand that rumors come with the territory but im gonna stay me."
According to the Huffington Post, Gomez on Saturday was carrying luggage and left in one of Bieber's cars.
Whew. That's a relief.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Understanding Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis -- the Basics
In this article
Types of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis continued...
The main difference between juvenile and adult arthritis is that some children with JRA outgrow the illness, while adults usually have lifelong symptoms. Studies estimate that by adulthood, JRA symptoms disappear in more than half of all affected children. Additionally, unlike adult rheumatoid arthritis, JRA may affect bone development as well as the child's growth.
Another difference between JRA and adult rheumatoid arthritis is the percentage of people who are positive for rheumatoid factor in their blood. About 70% to 80% of all adults with rheumatoid arthritis have rheumatoid factor, but fewer than half of all children with rheumatoid arthritis are rheumatoid factor positive. The presence of rheumatoid factor indicates an increased chance that JRA will continue into adulthood.

Clifford Memorial Library Entrance
The Writing Center is located in the Clifford Memorial Library building. Entrance is through the door that faces the Koch Center for Engineering and Science.
"[O]ur job is to produce better writers, not better writing." — Stephen North, "The Idea of a Writing Center"
The Writing Center is a student-centered place where you can come to talk about writing in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere. We work with writers working in any discipline and at any stage of the writing process.
Whether you're struggling to define your topic, trying to make an outline, or revising a draft of your paper, the writing tutors will work with you to help you clarify what you're trying to say and improve the focus, organization, and mechanics of your paper.
One of the tutors' most valuable roles is to act as knowledgeable and impartial readers and help you improve your comfort level as well as your writing skills. Although the tutors will be happy to help you edit your paper, you are responsible for doing the work. You cannot drop off your paper for proofreading and pick it up later. Our purpose is to help you help yourself to become a better writer, not to do your work for you. Although you are welcome to drop in at any time, appointments are encouraged so that you can have more thorough, less rushed help. Writing tutors are available during scheduled hours of operation.
The Writing Center is open for fall and spring semesters when classes are in session during the following hours:
- Monday - Noon to 5:00 p.m.
- Tuesday - 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- For most of the Giants, the National League playoffs were a magical thrill ride.
For Madison Bumgarner, not so much.
"It sucked a lot to not go out there and pitch the way I wanted to," the left-hander said Wednesday.
Now, with his arm rested and mechanics purportedly tuned up, Bumgarner has a chance for an October do-over. He will start Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday as the Giants hold a 1-0 edge opposite Doug Fister of the Detroit Tigers.
It will mark Bumgarner's first appearance since Game 1 of the NLCS against the St. Louis Cardinals -- a messy 32/3 innings that earned him a demotion to the bullpen (where he didn't pitch) for the remainder of the series.
That came on the heels of a ragged NLDS. In all, Bumgarner is 0-2 with 11.25 ERA this postseason. Batters are hitting .385 against him.
So far, so bad.
"That wasn't fun at all," Bumgarner, 23, said of the first two rounds. "But watching everybody fight back and then pick me up -- and everybody picking everybody up -- that's what's special about our team."
On Wednesday, Bumgarner said that he has solved a small mechanical flaw. He had been rotating too far back in his delivery, leaving his mechanics out of whack and his body unusually fatigued after starts.
"I think we got it fixed," Bumgarner said. "There's no way to tell 100 percent until you get out there and get going (at) game speed. But hopefully that's all it was."
His struggles have raised speculation about fatigue. The kid looks tired -- and so does his fastball.
Bumgarner's heater averaged 90.8 mph during the season, according to fangraphs.com. During the postseason, Bumgarner's mark is more 88-89 mph.
Asked about the recent radar gun readings, Bumgarner said: "Regardless of whether the velocity (Thursday) is up or down or whatever, I still have to find a way to make pitches and compete."
The Giants hope that rests means rejuvenation. Bumgarner last started Oct. 14, when he threw only 73 pitches. He gave up six runs, including no-doubt homers to David Freese and Carlos Beltran.
Figuring that the long layoff helped the pitcher mentally and physically, manager Bruce Bochy is giving him another shot.
"The good ones bounce back. They're resilient," Bochy said. "We certainly feel that way about Madison. I don't care how good you are, eventually you're going to deal with adversity.
"But he's a tough kid. We forget he's already done a lot in his career."
In his only other postseason trip in 2010, Bumgarner had one of the most remarkable runs ever by a 21-year-old, going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA in four games (three starts).
Now the Giants need him to turn back the clock -- even if it's just two years.
"Pitching in the World Series is what you work for all year. It's what you work for your whole life," Bumgarner said. "I'm just happy to be back."

The Senate voted to increase fuel mileage JUN 22 2007
The Senate voted to increase fuel mileage requirements on cars sold in the US. "If the Senate bill becomes law, car manufacturers would have to increase the average mileage of new cars and light trucks to 35 miles per gallon by 2020, compared with roughly 25 miles per gallon today." According to CNN, SUVs are included under the requirement...it's about fricking time that loophole was closed.

City officials pleased with ice rink ticket sales
Revenue on pace to meet, possibly exceed, forecast
Published: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 11:41 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Less than three weeks into its six-week run, the Holidays on the River ice skating rink is on target to at least break even despite some unseasonably warm weather and one day that was rained out.
Holiday events
In conjunction with the ice skating rink at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum, the Holidays on the River event is offering movies, photos with Santa and other forms of entertainment. Below is a calendar of events:
9 a.m.-noon; 3 p.m.-5 p.m.: Santa at the Tuscaloosa Farmers Market (photos available through zapfoto.com)
4 p.m.-8 p.m.: Train rides at the ice rink
5 p.m.-6:30 p.m.: Holiday Movie Night at the River
Market featuring "The Polar Express" (rated G)
7 p.m.-10 p.m.: Holiday Movie Night at the River Market featuring "The Santa Clause" (rated PG)
Dec. 20
7 p.m.-10 p.m.: Holiday Movie Night at the River Market featuring "A Christmas Story" (rated PG)
Dec. 21
5 p.m.-9 p.m.: Carriage rides at the ice rink
7 p.m.-10 p.m.: Holiday Movie Night at the River Market featuring "It's a Wonderful Life" (Rated PG)
Dec. 22
9 a.m.-noon; 3 p.m.-5 p.m.: Santa at the Tuscaloosa Farmers Market
(photos available through zapfoto.com)
5 p.m.-9 p.m.: Carriage rides at the ice rink
5 p.m.-9 p.m.: Holiday Movie Night at the River
Market featuring "White Christmas"
As of Wednesday, 5,743 ice skaters had purchased $55,562 worth of tickets, nearly half of the budgeted ticket sale expectations for the temporary skating venue on Jack Warner Parkway.
Wendy Riggs, director of the city's Arts and Entertainment Department, told the City Council's Finance Committee on Tuesday that she expects ticket sales to continue at a similar rate and meet — or possibly exceed — the anticipated $120,000 that was laid out in the Holidays on the River proposal.
"I feel like we're going to make that easily," she said.
The $157,500 project was predicted to end up a break-even proposal, with the city earning back its costs through the $120,000 in ticket sales and $37,500 in corporate sponsorships.
The sponsorship expectations have been met, with $20,000 already received and the remaining $17,500 invoiced, Riggs said.
She did not have immediately available figures for the revenue the city is earning from its sale of s'mores, the 15 percent commission it gets from the two food vendors — Jim 'N Nicks Bar-B-Q and 5 restaurant — or the small fees charged from Holiday Movie Night events at the Tuscaloosa River Market. The movie nights are among the activities included in Holidays on the River, which began on the city's Riverwalk on Nov. 26 and will continue through Jan. 6.
But the big draw remains the ice rink, which did not lose popularity despite temperatures rising above 70 degrees this past weekend. The rink also was closed Monday because of rain.
"I know people love the nip in the air," Riggs said, "but no, the warm weather did not slow down the weekend crowds."
And it's not expected to this weekend, either.
After a drastic drop in the mercury earlier this week, the highs are predicted to reach the upper 60s today, Saturday and Sunday.
Between 65 and 75 tickets have been pre-sold for those days, but Riggs said most of the rink's patrons are walk-up customers.
While this knocks a few dollars off the ticket price — the walk-up rates are $10 for children 12 and younger and $12 for adults; reserved tickets are $13 for children 12 and younger and $15 for all others — it does mean that prospective skaters could be in for a wait.
For example, one day last weekend saw all the available tickets sold out by 5 p.m. because only 152 skaters can be on the ice for any one 60-minute session.
"It's very popular on the weekends and it's a lot of repeat people," Riggs told the committee, noting that the rink has become the "teen scene" on weekend nights. "It's a lot of fun. The kids seem to really enjoy it."
The finance committee voiced no concerns about the operation of the event, but the absence of Christmas tree sales was noted.
Riggs said the tree vendor removed them after they failed to sell quickly.
All in all, Holidays on the River — the ice skating rink in particular — has been a success that likely will be repeated in the future, officials said.
"We are absolutely thrilled by Tuscaloosa's support for the Holidays on the River," Maddox said. "When Wendy (Riggs) pitched this project to me a couple of months ago, I was hesitant due to the costs and logistics. However, her business plan — coupled with the outstanding work of our employees — has created a wonderful event that has generated a lot of positive energy.
"Although this endeavor will be revenue neutral, it certainly has provided a significant return on community by establishing a unique and entertaining family experience for our citizens."

It wasn't easy to see right away who would place first and who would place second at the men's open slopestyle event at the USASA Nationals at Copper Mountain Resort this week. What was obvious, however, was that, either way, it would be a win for Team Breckenridge.
It came down to the judges' decision between athletes Ethan Swadburg and Mark Nowakiwsky.
"It was a battle between first and second," said Team Breckenridge Hawk's Freeride head coach Chris Hawks. "I wasn't sure who won at the end."
The final result had Swadburg taking first and Nowakiwsky second. Additionally, two of their teammates, Kai George and Levi Ascher, placed in the top 10 overall at eighth and 10th place, respectively.
Hawks said he was not surprised by the success of his team.
"Every time we go to an event, we think we're going to do it, because they're really good. These kids have been working at it for a long time, so we expect to be up there," he said. "The whole field made good runs down, it's just that our guys were a bit better."
Swadburg's first run wasn't ideal, he said, which made him a little nervous for the second, "but I ended up landing it." This year marked his fourth year competing at the nationals event. Last year he took first for the 13-15 age group. Winning in his first year at the 16-18 bracket was unexpected.
"It was pretty exciting, I was pretty overwhelmed at the moment," he said. "I didn't really expect to win. It was pretty cool."
Swadburg praised the competition, particularly his teammates, who he shares a friendly competitive relationship with.
Currently a junior at Summit High School, Swadburg has been skiing since the age of 3 and entering competitions since age 9. He skis at least six days a week, sometimes more, emphasizing that putting in the time to practice is the best way to do as well as he does. Advising younger skiers, he said, "Just ski as much as you can - get as comfortable as possible on your skis."
Keith Swadburg, his father, has watched his son grow up on his skis, witnessing the progression from beginner to Slopestyle competitor. He and his wife, Julie, attend as many of their son's competitions as possible and were on the sidelines at the nationals event Monday.
"We're proud, of course," Keith Swadburg said. "Parents are always proud of their kids when they do good things and I'm happy for him and his friends."
He also mentioned that slopestyle competitors "tend to be very encouraging of their competition," which can be seen in the supportive attitude of the Team Breckenridge athletes.
John George, father of Kai George, agrees.
"The pressure to perform out there is fairly high, because the envelope keeps getting pushed, but most of these kids ski together and they do a pretty amazing job of just pushing each other to perform," he said. "They're all good friends and spend a lot of time together. It's such a positive experience for those kids, it's pretty cool."
Both Nowakiwsky and Swadburg said they were excited to take the top two places together and watch their teammates place high as well.
"I think it was awesome that we could be up there first and second," said Nowakiwsky. He also emphasized the sense of friendly competition between himself, Swadburg and the rest of the team. "There are definitely no hard feelings. You push each other. Everyone's super friendly and feeds off everybody else. It's cool, there's a lot of camaraderie."
Nowakiwsky experienced a bit of an emotional roller coaster during the event, relating that he just made it into the final round and then learned he was up against Swadburg.
"It was a really talented field and I found out just before Ethan went that I was in first place," he said, "but Ethan was a top qualifier so I was definitely on edge. He had an awesome run and that was really good to see, because he's a teammate."
Despite his nervousness, Nowakiwsky mastered himself and pulled off what he describes as one of his best runs of the season.
"I was able to put it together my second run at finals and link all my tricks together that I hadn't done all in a row yet this season," he said. "I feel super proud and accomplished that I was able to do that run that I'd planned. This was the first time in the season, so it was definitely a good way to finish it off."
Nowakiwsky, a Breckenridge native, graduated from Summit High School last year. He spent the fall taking classes at University of Colorado, Boulder, then spent the spring focusing on his skiing. He plans to do the same this year, while supplementing his credits with classes at Colorado Mountain College. He has an interest in business, but plans to take some more classes before deciding on a major.
Skiing, of course, will retain a large role, with attendance at summer camps and plans to stay on snow as much as possible. While he enjoys competitions, Nowakiwsky said that his real love of the sport lies with hanging out and spending time with friends.
"It's just about being out there and having fun," he said. "It's not about winning, it's not about sponsorship, it's about skiing with your friends and making it fun. That's what makes me love the sport - going out there every day and not getting sick of it. The completions are fun, but they can be stressful. My ideal day would just be a sunny day with my friends just having fun."

The Eagle Flight Days committee is seeking donations for the annual Flight Days Auction.
Proceeds from the auction help fund the next year's Flight Days festivities. This year the fund-raiser will be a silent auction that takes place on Saturday June 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Eagle Town Park. Auction items in the past have ranged from rounds of golf to a season ski pass to lodging packages.
All proceeds from the auction directly off-set the expenses associated with the annual town celebration. Last year's auction raised approximately $7,000 which is roughly one-half of the event's operating expenses.
If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact Rick Beveridge at 970-390-7594 or email@example.com.
Think sweet for inspiration - specifically think of your favorite candy - for this year's Flight Days celebration.
The theme for Flight Days 2012 is "How Sweet it is" and the action will begin Friday, June 22, and continue through Sunday, June 24, and all the crowd-pleasing favorite activities will be back including the pet show and baby contest on Friday; blooperball, horseshoes, a cookie bakeoff and a silent auction on Saturday; and a 10K and 5K run and the youth talent show on Sunday.
Friday night's concert begins at 8:30 p.m. and features Chris Daniels and the Kings. Saturday's concert also begins at 8:30 p.m. and features Hot Posse. Throughout the weekend there will be rides, food and vendor booths, and lots of action at Town Park.
The event's popular parade will march down Broadway at 10 a.m. Saturday. Flight Days organizers hope that local residents find great inspiration in the candy theme as they fashion floats for the parade. The entry fee is just $10 and parade forms can be found on line at www.townofeagle.org. Completed forms can be returned to Eagle Town Hall and 200 Broadway or the Eagle Valley Enterprise office at 108 W. Second St. For more information contact Pam Boyd at 328-6656 Ext. 4.
Don't miss the fun and remember How Sweet It Is to spend Flight Days weekend in Eagle.

Singer/songwriter Jill Cohn has scheduled a special performance at Eagle's Bonfire Brewery Friday, June 15.
Cohn will take the stage at 7 p.m. She will be joined by Bay area guitarist Dave Sampson.
Cohn is returning to the road in support of her ninth CD titled "Beautiful I Love You." This is her first release in nearly four years. Cohn's music pays homage to artists such as Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell, but she has a sound and style all her own.
A full-time musician since 1996, Cohn has received critical acclaim for her independent CDs and has had her music used in television productions. She has toured nationally for nearly 15 years with the support of fans, radio and press.
Don't miss her June 15 date at the Bonfire.
Cora L. Nuebecker is the Artist of the Month at Red Canyon Cafe in Eagle
Cora brings many of the artistic sensibilities from the 1960's and a touch of 1890's Art Nouveau to a current generation. Her deep color and flowing line are enticing intriguing, intricate and peaceful.
Cora did much of her growing up in the Eagle Valley. She has since returned after graduating from the University of Colorado where she earned her degree in religious studies. She works primarily with Prismacolor Pencils and combines the precision of pencils with color work usually seen only in oil pastels.
The Porchlight Players have scheduled auditions for their upcoming productions of "The Apple Tree" and "The Full Monty."

The next Alive @ 25 class is planned Monday, June 25, at the Colorado Department of Transportation/Colorado State Patrol building in Glenwood Springs. Class begins promptly at 4:30 p.m.
Alive at 25 is a four and a half-hour driver awareness program sponsored by the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation (501c3 nonprofit). This single-class program has proven to be the most effective driver awareness class in the United States and it demonstrates a substantially lower percentage of teen deaths compared to those who did not take this class or took another class.
The cost is $39 for those taking the class to attain their driver permits. Those who are required to attend due to courts or other authorities have a $79 tuition. This National Safety Council multimedia class is designed specifically for those drivers (or soon to be drivers) between the ages of 14 through 24.
The program is taught by current or retired Colorado State Patrol Troopers. Successful completion of this program will result in the immediate issuance of a National Safety Council Certificate, eligibility to get a driver's permit six months early, waiver of the required six hours of behind-the-wheel practice with a commercial instructor, and a possible reduction in liability insurance.
