SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The lodging industry is one of Snowmass' most important business sectors.
Snowmass Village was carved out of a hillside in the late '60s and early '70s to create a winter sports paradise. To accommodate tourists and those workers needed to run a resort, condominiums and other lodging were built on the surrounding mountainsides.
Time, gravity and 40 years worth of weather and the natural elements have combined to create challenges in the best-constructed buildings around town. And it is a historical fact that some of the buildings in Snowmass were built by ski-bum labor whose starry passion and youthful energy made up for any lack of technical experience.
The 60-unit Snowmass Mountain Condominiums were one of the first condo projects built in Snowmass. At the time, it was an impressive feat and incorporated a massive use of railroad ties (said to have come from Basalt's Midland railroad) to construct a roadbed with carports and open parking spaces. Condominiums were built around and above the roadbed and even below and to the side of it.
After all of these years of punishing winters, the owners of the Snowmass Mountain Condominiums, SMC, were faced with a deteriorating roadbed that was beginning to slide down the mountain.
Greer Fox and her husband, Bruce, are homeowners at the SMC, and she is a director of the homeowners' association.
"We have one of the lower units," Fox explained, "and I never slept well because I was always concerned the railroad tie wall might come down on us."
After years of discussion, a vote by the homeowners, and time spent before the Town of Snowmass Village Planning Commission and Town Council, the Snowmass Mountain Condominiums underwent a year-long $6.7 million construction project (from April 2011 to summer 2012) to replace the railroad tie roadbed, replace old clay sewer pipe, refurbish and replace other aging infrastructure, and create stability and security for the members of the SMC homeowners' association.
During the process, Fox documented the work weekly and sent out reports to owners.
"Our owners were so cooperative," Fox said. "This work happened in the midst of this recession. A lot of our owners are elderly, and this was a big hit. Many of our owners are local and don't have the incomes that some of the second-home owners have."
In order for the work to be completed, all 59 units had to be evacuated and the utilities shut down. The owners were out of their units from around April 15, 2011, until nearly Thanksgiving.
"It was a challenge for our owners," continued Fox. "Owners that rent out their units lost their rental income. Owners who reside in their unit full time had to find alternative housing for seven months."
The $6.7 million cost for the project was split between the homeowners based on the square footage of their units. Owners with more than one condominium were assessed multiple times. Because of the recession, many owners found bank refinancing difficult or impossible at that time. Only one owner lost their unit to foreclosure during that period.
The project contractor, The Neenan Company, found multiple surprises during construction, creating additional work and financial commitments.
Heavy equipment was used to excavate the entire roadway. All of the railroad ties had to be carefully removed since there were no plans to show exactly what the railroad ties were supporting. A wrong decision could have resulted in the upper buildings at SMC collapsing down onto the lower buildings of the complex and everything sliding down the hill onto the Seasons Four condominium complex.
Because of aging clay sewer pipe, sections needed to be replaced by the Snowmass Water and Sanitation District with newer, state-of-the-art piping. A crushed drainpipe behind the Woodbridge Condominiums also needed to be replaced, according to Carl Vill, another SMC homeowners' association director who, along with president George Falk, was involved with the massive construction project for more than six years.
With the completion of the project, the condo units will see new paint, new railings, a new snowmelt system, landscaping, new carport alignments and concrete pads and additional parking spaces. Because the project was under budget, money will also be spent on strengthening balconies, building new flagstone patios, replacing deck and patio furniture, redoing the amenity area, buying new workout equipment, revamping the men's and women's locker area, replacing the aging sauna with steam showers and replacing the hot tub and pool decking.
The property manager for SMC is Snowmass Hospitality, a division of Related Colorado. Hank Hays is the property manager of SMC.
"The homeowners were really cooperative, especially with moving out on time," said Hays. "This allowed the project to get started on time, and I'm sure helped in the project being completed on time and on budget. I thought it went really well."
And now, Snowmass Mountain Condominiums are ready for another 40 years of winters.

Yesterday, I interviewed Coldplay guitarist Jonny Buckland over the phone. He seemed like a cool guy, all laid back with his British accent, chilling at his home across the pond.
We recorded the interview, but there was some sort of interference so we won't be able to post it online. Stay tuned for a print story coming out sometime before the June 12 Coldplay show in Datebook or IowaLife.
We chatted about his family — He has a fiance and an 18-month old little girl named Violet. I asked if she'll be a future rocker like him, and he said she's showing some signs. She likes to dance around to "Viva la Vida!"
We also talked about Brian Eno — Coldplay teamed up with Eno for "Viva la Vida" and they worked on some new material in the studio in January. Buckland said that Eno gives the band a sort of musical freedom. Buckland likes U2's new album a lot (Eno worked on it along with a bunch of other U2 albums) and asked me if I liked it. I said yes (of course) and said I liked Coldplay's new album, too! We spoke a bit about similiarities between his playing and The Edge's. He said they both like the delay pedal . (So do I!)
Buckland and the rest of the band seem very removed from anything other than making music:
I asked him if he used the Coldplay Twitter account and he told me he didn't quite know what Twitter was, he didn't use it, and he wasn't sure who from the Coldplay management used it. He was impressed though that the band has more than 739,800 followers.
He said he wasn't aware of the newest plagiarism accusation by Cat Stevens, so I told him a bit about that.

Donald Sterling suffered a major, perhaps even decisive defeat Monday, in his attempt to stop the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Judge Michael Levanas ruled in favor of Sterling's estranged wife, Shelly Sterling, in her efforts to take over the Sterling Family Trust on the grounds that Donald is mentally incapacitated, and to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion.
As the Los Angeles Times explained, Judge Levanas delivered his decision very quickly — just minutes after the closing arguments by attorneys — to uphold the finding by two doctors that Donald Sterling was incapacitated. He also handed down a key procedural decision that would appear to make this outcome final:
The ruling included the extraordinary step of granting of Shelly Sterling's request for an order under section 1310(b) of California's probate code that allows the sale to be completed regardless of an appellate court's intervention. [Los Angeles Times]
The NBA and Shelly Sterling have moved quickly against Donald Sterling over the last few months, after he was caught making racist comments to a girlfriend in a recorded conversation. Eric Kleefeld
Stephen Colbert started out Thursday night with a preview of the first Clinton-Trump presidential debate in September, noting that The Late Show will go on live after each debate and that Hillary Clinton is having trouble finding someone to play Donald Trump in debate prep. "I don't see what the problem is — just put a jack-o-lantern on a drunken bear, and you're done," Colbert joked. Then he turned to Trump, starting with his Wednesday rally in Mississippi with British Brexit leader Neil Farage — "Now, I don't what the folks in the Deep South have in common with angry white people who want to leave a union, but evidently, they liked him" — and a recap of Trump's line that Clinton is a "bigot."
But Colbert spent most of the monologue on Trump's evolving immigration policy. On Thursday night, Trump had been scheduled to give a major speech on immigration, but instead he was at a fundraiser in Aspen — "though to be fair," Colbert said, "a lot of people visiting Colorado immediately forget what they were supposed to do." Still, the GOP presidential candidate has been clear on one thing: "Trump has repeatedly sworn, from the beginning of his campaign, from Day 1, if elected he'll deport 11 million undocumented immigrants," Colbert said. "And if you disagree with him on that, well, now he does, too."
That was a reference to "the softening" in Trump's town hall Wednesday night with Sean Hannity. "This is crazy," Colbert said. "The one thing we thought we knew about Donald Trump was how he felt about immigrants. Whenever he spoke on the subject he was practically coherent." This new language "is like Smokey the Bear saying, 'I'm softening my position on forest fires — matches are cool,'" Colbert said, and he was baffled by Trump's focus-group polling of the audience to figure out his own immigration stance. Then it hit him. "Now, based on that town hall last night, I think I know what his decision will be: letting the American people decide which immigrants are allowed to stay, in a new reality show called So You Think You're One of the Good Ones. Let's play right now." He did. Juan won. Watch below. Peter Weber
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) knew that he was Hillary Clinton's running mate for only about 12 minutes before the world found out, he told Stephen Colbert on Thursday's Late Show, in Kaine's late-night TV debut. And it's not clear how his wife felt when he told her the big news. Kaine said that joining a presidential campaign a few months before the election is the way to go, and when Colbert asked in mock-hushed tones about Clinton's health, Kaine said, "I think she could beat me in the New York marathon, if we entered."
"I'm gonna test you here," Colbert said. Clinton "said she wanted a running mate who was willing to disagree with her. So please your new boss, right now, and say something that you disagree with Hillary Clinton on." "You think I'm new at this?" Kaine said — they had just discussed his rise from Jesuit missionary to city councilman to governor and senator, and Kaine drew on that experience for a pretty good answer.
If Joe Biden is America's ebullient uncle, Tim Kaine would be its earnest step dad, as The Washington Post put it, or maybe its soccer dad, as Twitter opined. "Are you okay with not being cool?" Colbert asked. "I've been prepared for that for 26 years," Kaine said, "because I have three children who have been ripping on me and saying those things about me since they were born." So, in his late-night debut, we learned that Tim Kaine plays harmonica, is discreet, can talk policy, has memorized part of the New Testament, and is a very gentle attack dog. Watch below.

What is the song "Oops!.... I Did It Again" really about? James Corden asked Britney Spears in Corden's latest Late Last Show "Carpool Karaoke" video. "I don't know," she said. "I really don't know. I think it's just a song." Corden said he thinks about the lyrics every time he orders a pizza from Dominos, and then they sang. Corden also peppered Spears with questions, and she dished. She wants three more kids, on top of her two virtual twins, 9 and 10, she said — "I have to find the right guy first" — though before you get excited, guys, she followed that up by saying she's "just done with men" and won't get married again. ("I don't believe in marriage anymore.")
If you watch, you'll learn that Spears' kids have seen her Vegas show, racy outfits and all — "I feel like they know that's mommy performing" — and that Corden is still scarred by a youthful look at his mother in her underwear. Spears was a good student who was paddled only once, and in between talking, she and Corden sang various Spears songs, like "Womanizer" and "Toxic." Corden is the more enthusiastic singer/dancer in his car, at least until they finally got to "...Baby One More Time" — though you may not be able to un-see James Corden in a sexy schoolgirl outfit. You've been warned. Peter Weber
On Wednesday's Kelly File, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Megyn Kelly that his organization would release potentially "significant" information on Hillary Clinton before the November election, and on Thursday's show, Kelly played the part of the interview where Assange talks about Donald Trump. "You're clearly not rooting for Hillary, but are you rooting for Trump?" Kelly asked. "No, I mean, if we have good information on Trump, we publish that," Assange said.
"You know, some people have asked us, 'When will you release information on Donald Trump?'" Assange said later. "And of course we're very interested in all countries, to reveal the truth about any candidate, so people can understand, but actually it's really hard for us to release anything worse than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day. I mean, it's part of his charismatic appeal that he speaks off the cuff, but, you know, that's difficult for Donald Trump to overcome, a lot of those things, even with a lot of great material coming out by WikiLeaks and other publications."
If that sounds like WikiLeaks is trying to help Trump, remember, Assange says he isn't taking sides. And he doesn't want you to blame Russian hackers for the Democratic National Committee leaks or other Democratic Party cyber-infiltration, as the U.S. intelligence community does. "The allegations by the Clinton campaign that everyone is a Russian agent are really disturbing," Assange said. "Why is that? Well, bizarrely, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat, has become, has positioned herself now, as being the security candidate. She's palled up with the neocons responsible for the Iraq War and she's grabbed on to this sort of neo-McCarthyist hysteria about Russia, and is using that to demonize the Trump campaign."
Kelly also asked about WikiLeaks' interest in murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, and Assange suggested that Rich was a WikiLeaks source but declined to accuse anyone of his murder. She also asked about an Associated Press report outlining private information on rape victims, gay Saudis, and other "collateral damage" in some of Assange's dumps. "Well, it's a nonsense reports," he said. "Its not by AP, it's not some big team at AP who put this together, it's by a single journalist... who has a conflict of interest — have a look at him on Twitter." You can watch the entire segment below. Peter Weber

Turkish media reports said at least 11 people were killed and 78 wounded in the attack, which was carried out with an explosives-filled truck. The city is in Sirnak province, which borders Syria and Iraq, and a majority of residents are Kurds. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency blamed the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). On Thursday, Turkish forces crossed into Syria to attack the Islamic State but also to prevent the Kurdish YPG militias from gaining territory along the Turkish border, and Turkish troops fired on YPG fighters in the area.

For those wanting to fully understand Donald Trump's immigration stance, Seth Meyers put together a segment Thursday night featuring a dizzying array of statements the Republican nominee has made on the issue.
Meyers said that Trump is shifting his position in order to broaden his appeal, but is trying at the same time to assure his most ardent supporters that he's not actually changing at all. "Here's the problem for Trump," Meyers said. "He's already spent a year whipping up his supporters with vitriolic rhetoric on immigration, and they're not going to let him change now. Remember, they chant, 'Build that wall!' at all of the rallies, and one guy once came dressed like the wall. That guy doesn't want to go home and make an amnesty costume."
Meyers showed a clip of Trump warning people that Hillary Clinton would be "four more years of Obama," followed by another clip where he compliments the president for deporting large numbers of undocumented immigrants. Trump said he'd keep doing what Obama's doing in regards to deporting people, but would do it with "more energy." "Does Trump even have that much energy?" Meyers asked. "He talks about himself like he's Simone Biles, but he moves around like a bear who's honey drunk." Watch the video below, and get ready to never want to hear the words "Donald," "Trump," and "softening" together in a sentence ever again. Catherine Garcia
Apple released an update to the iPhone and iPad operating system on Thursday, and you should probably download and install it as soon as is possible. About 10 days ago, researchers at Citizen Lab, a University of Toronto tech research organization, and mobile security firm Lookout discovered three large security holes in Apple's iOS that could give someone with the right tool access to your entire phone — they could "read text messages and emails and track calls and contacts," The New York Times said, "even record sounds, collect passwords, and trace the whereabouts of the phone user" — and you would never know anything was going on.
Citizen Lab was tipped off when Ahmed Mansoor, a human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates, forwarded some suspicious text messages he was receiving, and sure enough, the messages contained code that would grant an outsider access to an entire phone. The researchers traced the code back to a Israeli cyber-espionage outfit called NSO Group, which The Times calls "one of the world's most evasive digital arms dealers." NSO spokesman Zamir Dahbash told The Times that "the company sells only to authorized governmental agencies, and fully complies with strict export control laws and regulations," but did not say if UAE had purchased its products. Along with Mansoor, NSO tools have been used to target people in Yemen, Turkey, Mozambique, Mexico, and Kenya.
You can learn more about the exploit at Gizmodo, Motherboard, and The New York Times, or watch the Associated Press report below, but upgrade your system before you do — Apple says the new update patches those gaping holes. Peter Weber

- Location: Växjö (Sweden)
This paper discusses energy‐time entanglement experiments and their relation to Einstein‐Podolsky‐Rosen (EPR) elements of reality. The interferometric experiment proposed by J. D. Franson in 1989 provides the background, and the main issue here is a detailed discussion on whether a Local Realist model can give the Quantum‐Mechanical predictions for this setup. The Franson interferometer gives the same interference pattern as the usual Bell experiment (modulo postselection). Even so, depending on the precise requirements made on the Local Realist model, this can imply a) no violation, b) smaller violation than usual, or c) full violation of the appropriate statistical bound. This paper discusses what requirements are necessary on the model to reach a violation, and the motivation for making these requirements. The alternatives include using a) only the measurement outcomes as EPR elements of reality, b) the emission time as EPR element of reality, and c) path realism. The subtleties of this discussion needs to be taken into account when designing and setting up future experiments of this kind, intended to test Local Realism.

Judges Cancel Case Assignment Experiment
Federal judges in the Southern District of New York have made a slight but important change to way cases are assigned to them: No longer will one judge necessarily be able to claim related SEC and Justice Department cases, even when they stem from the same alleged securities fraud.
The court made the change during a Dec. 15 meeting, but the order, signed by Chief Judge Loretta Preska (right), was only recently made public.
So what does this mean in practical terms? Until this month, the rules said that "criminal cases and SEC enforcement actions arising from the alleged fraud shall be assigned to the judge to whom the first case is assigned."
That rule, which was only passed within the last year, formalized a longtime practice in the Southern District — the court could unofficially reassign civil cases that were related to criminal ones, or vice versa, so the same judge had both. But once formalized, the rule drew complaints: judges felt prosecutors were trying to abuse it to land or avoid judges, and some defense lawyers had the same concerns, a person familiar with the matter said.
By striking the rule, the court may also be trying to avoid the appearance that much of the high-profile work is being steered to the same judge just because he or she was lucky enough to draw the first case.
The "related" rule is one reason that some judges, including the Southern District's Jed Rakoff, have at times seemed "ubiquitous," as The New York Times recently called him. Judge Rakoff is known for issuing attention-getting decisions in high-profile cases, some of which have come to him because they were found to be related to others he already had.
He is handling many lawsuits filed by Irving Picard, the trustee trying to claw back money for victims of the Ponzi scheme, under a still existing rule for related civil cases. The judge has dealt Picard a series of blows in throwing out Picard's claims against the New York Mets owners and others.
The SEC insider-trading case against hedge-fund titan Raj Rajaratnam was also in Rakoff's court. Rakoff also presided over the SEC's case against the Galleon Group, Rajaratnam's firm. He oversaw a lawsuit, since dropped, by Rajat Gupta, the former McKinsey & Co. chief and Goldman director, against the SEC after the regulator accused him in a civil administrative proceeding of leaking inside information to Rajaratnam, who was convicted after a trial in May. And now Rakoff is presiding over the criminal insider-trading prosecution by Manhattan U.S. attorney Preet Bharara. Gupta has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges.

Per the sizing guidelines I'm right in between sizes. Based on waist size alone the XL would be the best fit. I ordered XL and XXL since NRS has such a great return policy. Even XXL is a bit tight in the waist and the remaining fit is snug as it should be. I kept the XXL.

It's October in the Northeast, temps are dropping and I'm still out on my SUP board. These .5 mil neoprene pants have been good for September alone, now will need another layer below it to protect from wind. Quality of construction is excellent, triple seams. I have bought all of my SUP gear from NRS and couldn't be more pleased. The gear is sea-worthy top notch and the people are great to deal with. Out of many I try from the web, this is one of the few that has earned my trust. I'll continue to go there first for water gear.

Comments about NRS Men's HydroSkin 0.5 Pants:
The NRS Hydroskins ARE THE BEST!!! I have worn, drysuits, wetsuits, wool, fleece, etc. etc. for > 30 years and for intermediate conditions where you don't need a full drysuit or wetsuit, these pants are awesome. They provide just the right amount of warmth and coolness on days when the water is between 50 and 80 and air temp is 40 to 85. I have worn them on early summer trips on the Salt River in AZ when you have thought they would be too warm, but they were perfect. I also use them on rivers in ID, UT, CO, NM, AZ, and WY when it is raining or cool and I might be in the water. Just get them wet every now and then and they were great. I have warn them for SUP and surf sessions in Mexico and Hawaii. If you are submersed in cold water (<55 deg) you will want a warmer drysuit or wetsuit, but for mid-range conditions these are the BEST. The only problem I have seen with them is that they can get kind of "baggy" when you are in the water and they fill up. The reason is that they are pretty soft and "springy" so when you get water in them they expand a little. But to fix that they would have to be heavier neoprene. I will take the baggyness when wet over the weight and constriction.
I recommended these to many friends after they saw how nice they were and all of them love them for the same reason. One of them is a gal that really likes to be comfortable all the time and she has said they are the best water-wear clothes she owns--no small compliment coming from her.

Gingrich Slams Obama, Says Little About Romney
ROCK HILL, S.C.–Political strategists expected Newt Gingrich to arrive in South Carolina today on the warpath against Republican front-runner Mitt Romney after badly losing the New Hampshire presidential primary last night.
They were wrong.
At his first campaign stop in the Palmetto State, Mr. Gingrich spent more time criticizing President Barack Obama than Mr. Romney.
Mr. Gingrich spoke about his policies for energy, the judiciary and the Middle East – drawing contrasts with the president, but barely mentioning Mr. Romney.
In his only direct reference to Mr. Romney, the former House speaker said that Republicans can't defeat Mr. Obama with a candidate who is inarticulate, moderate or lacks a long track record of conservative policies.
Paraphrasing President Ronald Reagan, Mr. Gingrich said the Republican Party needs "bold colors, not pale pastels." He said Republicans need a strong conservative to draw a clear contrast with the president.
"I have been struggling for the last month to try to communicate what is at stake" in the election, he said, pointing to a group of children he had invited up to the podium. Eying a mother with a baby in the audience, Mr. Gingrich quipped that the infant could come to the podium when he returned in four years to campaign for his re-election.
Mr. Gingrich again said that if he wins the Republican nomination, he would challenge President Barack Obama to seven, 3-hour debates – Lincoln-Douglas style. He joked that he would allow Mr. Obama to use a teleprompter.

Obama's red line
Dear Editor: President Barack Obama's knowledge of the Middle East is less than stellar. John McCain and other Republicans don't understand the region any better. Months ago, Obama said use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government would cross a red line and be a game changer. He later modified the statement to a "bunch of chemical weapons" after it appeared that the Assad government had used some chemicals, although it could not be proven.
Now, with hundreds of Syrians killed by what appears to be nerve gas, we are stuck in a place we shouldn't be. We should avoid military intervention in Syria, but what about the red line? Not following through on threats is a sign of weakness, but following through on this one could be worse. It is a predicament of his own making.
Gil Stein,
Kerry meek on Israel
Dear Editor: The Israeli-Palestinian talks are doomed for failure. Israel continues to mock and abuse the U.S. hand that feeds it billions of aid money by declaring the building of more and more settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Another 1,200 new settlements were recently announced. Predictably, our super-meek Secretary of State John Kerry, like all of his predecessors, failed to admonish Israel for its transgressions but instead urged Palestinians "not to react adversely." Terrified of offending pro-Israel politicians and the powerful Jewish lobby, Kerry continues to use the soft noodle approach instead of the big stick. Granting Israel a free pass on settlements, its illegal occupation and violation of international law will only encourage Israel to ignore Kerry's "cap in the hand" soft overtures.
The "peace process" consists of indulging Israeli intransigence and is yet another example of deflecting much needed U.S. taxpayers' money away from the have-nots of our own society.
Finally, Israel should heed the actions of thousands of artists around the world who have declared a cultural boycott of Israel, which they perceive to be an apartheid state.

PARKERSBURG - Many local city officials are not expecting to see a significant loss in business tax revenue as a result of the recent storm which knocked out power throughout the area.
When storms hit on June 29, power was knocked out to many neighborhoods and businesses bringing a lot of the area to a standstill.
Some businesses were without power for a day or so before power began to be restored. As power came back on, many businesses saw people coming in to get supplies and needed items to help them ride out the rest of the blackout.
Parkersburg City Development Director Ann Conageski said things remained stable throughout the situation as the majority of businesses were able to get back up and running quickly as power was restored. She is not expecting tax revenues to take a big hit.
"I don't think it was that significant," she said. "It may be a small blip. I just don't know yet."
Some businesses, such as local grocery stores and home improvement stores, saw a big increase in business as power began coming back on and people needed to buy food, ice and get gasoline for their automobile. Some people were buying generators, coolers and more.
"I think these kind of sales will offset whatever might have been lost," Conageski said. "Time will tell."
A representative of the City of Williamstown, who did not wish to be identified, said Williamstown no longer has a business and occupation tax, but instituted a one percent sales tax late last year. The city has not been through a full year with this tax and it was difficult to project what impact, if any, the storm will have.
The representative believed increases in sales following the blackout will balance things out.
Vienna Mayor David Nohe is not expecting to see any loss in tax revenue. In fact, he would not be surprised if they saw a increase as a result of the storm.
Following the storm, the Vienna area was one of the first areas to have power restored while a lot of areas locally were still blacked out. Many people from around the area were coming to Vienna to get groceries, prescriptions, gasoline and other supplies, Nohe said.
"I think many businesses experienced record sales for those days," he said.
At times during the blackout, operating service stations in Vienna had long lines of people from around the area who were trying to get gasoline. Nohe said the city also saw a big influx of people from Ohio coming over to get needed items.
"I would be very surprised if there was any kind of decrease (in tax revenue)," Nohe said. "I think we might even see an increase."

Fuel Economy Standards To Save U.S. Consumers Billions, Create Jobs, Yet Republicans Say Too Expensive
Farron Cousins | August 27, 2012
By Farron Cousins • Monday, August 27, 2012 - 12:41
A proposed rule by the Obama Administration to raise fuel economy standards for cars and "light-trucks" is facing mounting attacks by Republican lawmakers. The proposed rule would require all newly manufactured automobiles that fall under the car or light truck category to achieve a minimum gas mileage of 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025.
The crusade against the new CAFE standards is being led by Republican Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Issa claims that the new standards amount to "coercion" of the auto industry. Rep. Issa has received more than $188,000 from the oil industry during his career, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Issa's statements show how out of touch he truly is with both economics and business, as the new standards were the result of cooperation between the Obama Administration and the auto industry itself.
The new fuel economy standards have been approved by Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and Volvo, who together control 90% of the United States' auto sales market.

Rise of the coupon-snippers
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Communities and also in Finance
Boiling Point report: 'Anger endemic in British society'
UK shoppers' appetite for coupons increased by 35% in 2013 compared to the previous year.
According to coupon experts Valassis Ltd, coupons and vouchers worth £1.7 billion were redeemed last year.
The average household redeems coupons and vouchers worth approximately £64 a year.
Valassis' figures - which works with 85% of the market - show that coupon redemption is continuing its upward trend, with volumes increasing by 223% since 2010.
Retailer-issued coupons are driving most of the growth and account for 71% of redemptions, or 466 million coupons.
Charles D'Oyly, managing director of Valassis, said: "The 35% increase in coupon redemptions in 2013 is exceptional. Bearing in mind that retail sales in 2013 grew by just 1.6% compared with 2012, such growth is remarkable.
"The recent increases in retailer-issued redemptions are primarily due to the popularity of coupon-at-till promotions and price matching promises which mean the consumer would not have been able to buy certain items as economically elsewhere.
"What's behind this growth? Our recent research indicates that consumers' use of coupons is widespread across all demographics[3], and supermarkets have responded accordingly by increasing their use of coupons as the promotion of choice for targeted consumer offers."

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

If one could go back in all these pages and see who talks about Gore the most...it would probably be Tired. He is the one with a fixation on him.

And as far as my credentials, I'm no expert. I don't have the training.
But of the experts, as determined by who has published the most climate change articles in peer-reviewed journals, virtually all agree that anthropogenic greenhouse gases are changing the climate.
Wise folks will listen to these experts, not me and not Al Gore.

"I brought up his credentials because you ASKED."
And there was nothing about him being a scientist in all that you brought up. So he is irrelevant to the science of global warming.

The overriding thing now and the whole reason no proof WILL be provided is simply because of the manner in which Tiredofit is conducting himself.
He's not interested in the facts but is more interested in playing childish games.
No matter what we provide. Tiredofit will deny it.

The 24-year-old, who can play at flyhalf or centre, would join Fumiaki Tanaka (Highlanders) and Shota Horie (Melbourne Rebels) in the southern hemisphere competition once his Kubota Spears team completed its Top League campaign, Kyodo news agency reported.
Wallabies great and Kubota Spears coach Toutai Kefu has declared Tatekawa, capped 20 times by the Brave Blossoms, as "the best Japanese player I've seen".
"How that translates to Super Rugby is a bit unknown," he told Canberra Times. "I think he can do it, he's a talented kid. Skill-wise he can do everything and he's a big, tough boy."
The former number eight's 1999 World Cup winning team mate and Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham appeared convinced of Tatekawa's credentials.
"Another player in that 10-12 position is great for us, it allows depth and we're quite lucky to have Haru," Larkham told the newspaper which said Tatekawa's arrival in Canberra was a part of a development plan.
"There's going to be a lot of competition from those positions and Haru will definitely be pushing for one of those spots given his form for the Japanese team."
"The standard of footy in Japan is a little bit less than Super Rugby, but I think individual players have the skills and when you put them in a good system you'll see improvement," he added.
The Brumbies enjoyed a successful 2013 Super Rugby campaign, winning the Australian conference and two tough playoff matches before going on to lose 27-22 to the Waikato Chiefs in the final.

Dos Pueblos begins playoffs with walk-off win in softball
Evans' seventh-inning blast sends Chargers into second round
POSTED: 12:08 AM PDT May 17, 2013
Dos Pueblos' first round playoff win was a blast. Alana Evans led off the seventh-inning with a walk-off solo home run as the Chargers celebrated a 2-1 win over Monrovia in the CIF Division IV playoffs.
Evans wasn't the only sophomore that was super. Veronika Gulvin allowed just one run in the circle as DP advances to play Maranatha in Tuesday's second round.

Republican lawmakers told members of the Colorado Republican Business Coalition at the organization's holiday party last Thursday that, even though Democrats will be in control at the Capitol next year, the minority legislators will have their backs.
"Next year, even though we are outnumbered, we can still stir a pretty mean pot," said state Sen.-elect Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, who drew cheers from the party-goers when she declared, "I am a capitalist pig, and I'm damn proud of it!"
While Republicans sounded defiant and determined, there was a slight air of resignation about the upcoming legislative session and plenty of "just wait until two years from now!" proclamations at the celebration, an annual affair at the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association headquarters in Denver.
"It's not going to be an easy session, but our voices are going to be heard — maybe not very loud, but maybe very loud. We'll do the best we can," said Sen.-elect Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs.
Baumgardner, who is moving to the upper chamber from the House, got the biggest cheer of the evening when he told the crowd, "I want to wish each and every one of you not a 'happy holidays,' but a very merry Christmas."
Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, who returns next year on the short end of the same 20-15 minority he held last session — House Republicans lost their 33-32 majority to the Democrats in November and will be down nine votes — had a more steely-eyed take.
"We are in a minority. It's a challenge. There are two things that are important in that place — your voice and your vote. We don't have the votes we need, but we will have a strong voice," he said. "We're going to need your voices there too, because you got 'Republican' on your back — that's a target. You've got 'Business' on your back — that's two targets."
But the Democrats' romp was no reason to abandon ship, he told the several dozen party-goers. "What you bring to the table is good for business, it's good for Colorado, and we think it's good for the party — that's why we're aligned with you, that's why we have targets on our backs as well," Cadman said.
There's always the next election, he pointed out, and GOP prospects to retake the Senate look good because Democrats will be defending all the swing seats.
"We are gearing up for '14. We started campaigning on Wednesday, because it seemed like the right thing to do," Cadman smiled. He continued: "We're going to win this back. Sometimes good teams lose — we had some really good candidates. We came up a little bit short, but we're not going to come up short next time."
At an earlier reception that afternoon for new legislators, Democrats said the firm message they were getting from leadership and the governor's office was "show some restraint," but CRBC members said they were concerned that liberal lawmakers might run wild in the wake of their strong showing at the polls. Business owners said they feared Democrats would work to undo tort reform, raise liability limits and pass a state version of "card check," making it easier for Colorado workers to unionize.
The watch-words for the session, said state Rep.-elect Perry Buck, R-Greeley, would be "less government, fiscal responsibility and personal responsibility."
She also gave a shout-out to the Colorado Federation of Republican Women and suggested that the group could help sway the electorate next time. "We just need to hang out a little more at those soccer games, talk to those independent women," Buck said.
Likening the Republicans' role in the legislature to that of a hockey goalie, state Rep.-elect Justin Everett, R-Littleton, said that even in the minority, GOP legislators can frame the debate.
He described a mock committee hearing held earlier that day when he and Buck steered a budget discussion toward just two possibilities: spend more money to privatize government services or cut some spending. "The Democrats were thinking those were the only two options," he said. "It's just about changing the dynamic."

By Sgt. M. Benjamin GableApril 17, 2009
HUMPHREYS GARRISON-As the sun rose over Humphreys Garrison, 30 Soldiers and noncommissioned officers formed up near the post chapel to begin the second post-wide "Year of the NCO" run, here April 10.
The relatively small number of runners, though, soon swelled to over 500 as the lead group was joined by other companies during their four-mile route. Each company joined the run with their guide-ons and shouted cadences to keep in step.
Humphreys Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Jason K. Kim, a native of Seoul and a 28-year veteran of the Army led the Soldiers and set the pace.
"This is a great event," he said. "The run promotes unity within the companies and battalions." This was the second post NCO run this year, the first was held in February.
In October of 2008, the Army Chief of Staff declared 2009 "The Year of the NCO." With more than 200 years of service, NCO's have distinguished themselves as some of the most professional men and women in the world. And this year, the Army is showing its respect and commitment to these leaders by highlighting their strength and leadership abilities.
According to Kim, it is important to capitalize on these opportunities to showcase NCO's for the Army and the American people. He added a good NCO is someone who can train Soldiers, lead from the front and be able to accomplish any mission given to him or her.
"Every time I see an NCO, they make me so proud," he said, "I just refer to the first line in the NCO creed - No one is more professional than I."
After the run, Kim and Command Sgt Maj. Victor Garcia, Defense Commissary Agency Senior Enlisted Advisor, Fort Lee, Virginia, who was at Humphreys Garrison for six days for training, spoke with Soldiers and NCO's in attendance. Garcia noted the importance of NCO's doing their best on a daily basis and celebrating the Year of the NCO. "I have missed many 'Hooah' events such as this one because of my schedule over the last year," said Garcia. "But I was very excited to participate in this event with so many great Soldiers here at Humphreys."
Sgt. 1st Class Eugene Brown, S-4 noncommissioned officer in charge from Headquarters Company, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, participated in the run and led Soldiers with cadences. Brown said the run was a great chance for Soldiers to come together and enjoy camaraderie and esprit de corps.
Kim plans to have a "Year of the NCO" run no less than six times this year. He also hopes to have NCO induction ceremonies during the months in which there is no run. He said it's also a way to honor Soldiers at Humphreys Garrison for the sacrifices they have made for their country.

Graduating is the last decision we make as college students. Many people opt out of going to graduation, but then later come to regret it. Ultimately, it is everyone's own personal decision to make. However, I would like to give you a few things to consider before you make your final decision:
1. Every Story Needs An Ending
After four (or more) long years of sitting in classrooms listening to lectures, there should be a commemoration of all that hard work. Not going to your college graduation is sort of like watching 8 seasons of your favorite show and then missing the series finale. It can leave a feeling of incompleteness. Although you may not think that now, you may later realize that you don't feel like you finished because there never was an official ending.
2. It Matters To Someone
You may decide that you don't need to attend your graduation and be completely fine with that decision, however you may have some loved ones who have been waiting to see you walk across that stage for years. More often than not, these loved ones are parents who are extremely proud of their little graduates (and if they paid your tuition, they have quite the leverage over you when it comes to attending the ceremony).
3. Diploma
In many universities the "diplomas" handed out during graduation are not the real thing and students have to wait a few months to receive their actual diplomas in the mail. However, in some schools, students actually receive their real diplomas up on stage during the ceremony. Before you decide not to go to your ceremony, find out if your school is one of these universities.
4. Say Goodbye
Although you may have made some good friends during your time in school and have every intention of keeping in touch with your alumni, chances are you may never see them again. Things happen; life happens. Therefore, this could be your last chance to see all of these people one last time. And what better way to say good-bye than at a very joyous ceremony?
Again, ultimately the decision is yours. Just make sure you're happy with your decision so that you don't look back at it later in life with regret. And for those of you graduating soon, I would like to congratulate you all and wish you the best of luck!

Low Testosterone Can Be High Risk
So why do older ballplayers turn to steroids?
One reason is to replace testosterone that drops off as men reach middle age, Dr. Benjamin Brewer reports on WSJ.com. This can lead to "slower recovery from activity, less tolerance of long hours and less muscle flexibility." Brewer references a 20-year study that says testosterone concentrations dropped about 1.2% per year.
Brewer commends his childhood baseball hero Rich "Goose" Gossage (pictured) for making the Hall of Fame and not using steroids during his 22-year career. Earlier this month Gossage ripped players associated with performance-enhancing drugs: "These guys are getting better the older they get? Nah. The body doesn't work that way. And baseball is a young man's game." Still he conceded that he probably would have used steroids if they had been available to him in the twilight of his career.
But losing miles per hour off your fastball or inches off the break on your slider aren't the only reasons to be concerned about declining testosterone levels. Brewer says a patient of his fell and broke his arm. It turned out to that the patient had osteoporosis due to low testosterone and he developed type 2 diabetes, also associated with low testosterone.
The doctor adds that some 2 million to 4 million U.S. men have a significant testosterone deficiency and less than 5% of them are getting treatment. Brewer thinks steroids should be banned from baseball but do have their place in medicine.

Holes Chapter 19 Summary
- Stanley wakes up one night to hear Squid crying in the cot next to his. When he oh-so-kindly asks him if he's all right, Squid says he's fine. But in the morning, when Stanley asks if he's feeling better, Squid freaks out on him and tells him to keep quiet. Well, then. He never learned that sharing is caring, apparently.
- Later, Stanley and the gang are out on the lake digging their holes when Mr. Sir comes by with the water truck. After he's gone, Magnet offers the other boys some sunflower seeds – turns out he stole Mr. Sir's burlap sack when he wasn't looking.
- Stanley knows this is bad news and doesn't want anything to do with the bag. But when Zigzag tosses it to Stanley, the bag spills all over Stanley's hole. Uh oh.
- Sure enough, Mr. Sir comes back and looks into all the half-dug holes to find the culprit. When he finds the bag in Stanley's hole, Stanley takes the blame. The other boys play along, acting as though they knew nothing about it.
- This is what we call taking one for the team.
- Mr. Sir is skeptical (he doesn't buy it), but he tells Stanley to get into the water truck so they can go tell the Warden about the incident.
- Although he's dreading his confrontation with the Warden, Stanley still notices – and appreciates – the brief break from digging that he gets to enjoy.

Kidney Formula
Formerly Juni-Pars
Approximately 80% of the body is liquid, and much of this fluid must be pumped, filtered, etc., through the urinary system of the infividual. We generally do not take the best care of this delicate tract. Through it circulates irritating and clogging-type materials, i.e., tea, coffee, soft drinks, hard water, alcohol, etc.
Over the years we have used a formula of herbs with people who have been afraid to be out in public because of lack of control over the urinary tract and unknowingly voiding urine. After using this formula, many people have found relief from this condition and are living normal lives again.
Suggested use is 2 or 3 capsules between meals, or a cup of tea morning and evening taken with a cup of parsley tea.

You could try:
1) starting with the modem disconnected;
2) starting in safe mode
thunderbird -safe-mode
3) starting in the Profile Manager (with which you can, e.g., create a virgin
thunderbird -ProfileManager
4) if all else fails, the nondefault prefs listed in the Config Editor are
kept in a file named "prefs.js" in your profile folder (see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird for details). DON'T
EDIT THAT FILE WHILE THUNDERBIRD IS RUNNING: it is overwritten at shutdown.
Its contents are overridden by those of user.js (in the same directory), which
Thunderbird reads only at startup and never overwrites. The latter may
therefore be edited at any time but will only take effect on restart.
For an explanation of what those prefs do, see:

This is the only recipe I use it in, and I get it from the bulk bin in the refrigerator at HF store - I assume they keep it refrigerated for a reason. Does anyone know how long I can keep it before whatever's going to happen to it happens?

The Story of the Titanic Told in Pictures
Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon testifies at the British Commission of Inquiry.
The British Commission of Inquiry issued its "Report on the Loss of the Titanic" on July 30, 1912. The report was generally considered a whitewash. It absolved Captain Smith and the White Star Line of any blame for the disaster. The report completely overlooked the lack of lifeboats as a cause of the tragedy.

Creativity. Interpretation. Argument. Collaboration. These were just some of the skills utilized by our nation's founders as they haggled, debated, and compromised their way to the formation of the American republic. The exhibition Creating the United States explores the work of the founders and their struggle to create a nation according to the principles of a free society and a populace with the power to govern itself. Working together, setting aside differences, and considering the future played key roles in establishing the country we now know.
Exploring similar processes is at the heart of the work of students at Granada Hills Charter High School who are participating in the Skirball's 2012 In-School Residency, "Re-Creating the United States." Working with Otis School of Art and Design faculty members Patty Kovic and Michele Jaquis, directors of the award-winning NEIGHBORGAPBRIDGE interdisciplinary design course, the students are thinking about how to communicate the relevancy of these skills and ideas to Skirball visitors.

Nope. In reality, I'm a miserable self-loathing bastard, as RabbitFighter might say.

I just have to share the latest addition to my family room. It was an easy DIY art project and the results make me clap and squeal. I'm writing a tutorial, but I couldn't wait another minute to show you the finished results. Tutorial tomorrow.
The back wall of my family room is big and it needs big artwork. For the winter, I had a beautiful canvas photograph of a winter scene. But it couldn't stay through spring and summer. So I needed a thrifty idea for a BIG piece of artwork.
I was inspired by a piece of artwork in the background of a picture in a Pottery Barn Christmas catalog. Do you do that? Sometimes the best ideas come from the things that aren't for sale.
One day as I was wandering through The Home Depot, I came across this pretty ceramic tile and I knew it would be perfect for my project. It was $2.50 for each 12″x12″ tile, so it was perfect and cheap. Two of my favorite things. I wanted the artwork to be 36″x36″, so I needed 9 tiles total.
It would have been awesome to use some stunning glass tile, but at $9.50/square foot (minimum), that was way too spendy for me.
If you know how to lay ceramic tile, then you can do this project. If not, I'll show you tomorrow. It really was easy…and good practice for a real tiling project I have in mind. The tile is mounted onto a piece of plywood, so the finished artwork is HEAVY.
I love how it looks against the board and batten walls that we did last fall. And if you're looking for info on that black dresser, it was a Goodwill rehab.
This artwork was exactly what the family room needed. Stay tuned tomorrow when I'll give you the blow-by-blow details.
Update! The winner of LAST'S weeks DIY Day with Homemade Gourmet is Kathryn from I Can Find the Time. Huge thank you to Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam for sponsoring DIY Day last week!

|President 0f Mozambique
JJ Brine
9 out of 10
ESM for the uninitiated
|by Jericho Cerrona
March 28, 2012
It's rare for an album to become so all encompassing that even after repeat listens it still manages to offer new and enthralling surprises. Icelandic singer/actor JJ Brine's latest LP is just one of these rare listening experiences. Dazzling, immersive, disorienting, and evoking a sensation of auditory rapture that's nearly impossible to describe, President of Mozambique is the first truly great record of 2012.
In all honesty, Brine might be utterly bonkers (his press photos reveal a black-hooded figure obscured by a menacing chrome mask), but either way, there seems to be a deranged kind of brilliance at work here. Though reclusive, he's nevertheless described his work as "electronic spirit music" (ESM) and claimed to have been possessed by a demon entity during the recording process. Whether or not he actually believes any of this, or is simply acting out some kind of meta-conceptual stunt is unclear, but none of this really matters because the artistic trappings never outweigh the actual music. President of Mozambique has come out of nowhere as a major statement from an artist operating along the fringes, and NY-based indie label Drug Lord Records aren't exactly smearing the internet with shameless promotional gimmicks, either. This makes Brine's follow up to 2011's Code Cracker all the more extraordinary; it has the feeling of a rumbling storm slowly making its way toward the landscape of unsuspecting music listeners. Before long, Brine seems to be implying, the end of all things will be brought on by the sound of churning synthesizers and vocoder-transmitted prophesies.
Though all 11-tracks are structured around the template of gothically moody synthpop, Brine tweaks familiar sounds until they eventually turn into sonic mutations from alien life forms. There are hooks and melodies aplenty, but the music never achieves overt accessibility because everything is so warped and fractured. Take the child molestation lullaby "Candy and Love", for example. It features a mid-tempo backbeat, swirling keyboards, xylophone, and lush production that might appeal to fans of M83, but it also contains what will probably be the litmus test for most listeners; weirdly androgynous vocals. Brine swathes his voice in all manner of vocoder effects and then layers them to create a neo-futuristic vibe that's consistently fascinating, but the choice will possibly turn off those that desire something more easily accessible. Make no mistake; this is not auto-tune bullshit. Brine uses digitally manipulated vocals in order to create a darkly brooding atmosphere rather than as a gimmick, or to hide poor vocal abilities. Truthfully, there's no way to really tell if Brine can sing in the traditional sense, but that doesn't seem to matter since this isn't the type of music that would even require such a thing. Though the production is impressively hi-fi and expansive, there's a DIY aesthetic that means nothing is curtailed for mass consumption or to appease oblivious label execs. Therefore, the album largely follows in line with the auteur theory; namely, it sounds like something only JJ Brine could have made, though there are obvious nods and influences gleaned from other artists such as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and especially German musician/artist/actress Nico (of whom Brine is a self-professed fan). Yes, the vocal style may alienate and the eccentricity of the songwriting is an acquired taste, but it's hard to deny the ominous industrial stomp of "Dispossession", the gorgeously interweaving synths and mantra-like vocals on "We Get Along", and the epic Joy Division-esque "Innovation".
President Of Mozambique could very well be a game changer, or it might just pass by completely unnoticed. It's difficult to predict what kind of immediate impact the album will have and whether a work this decidedly avant-garde can reach a mainstream audience. But perhaps that's a compliment to JJ Brine's inventive take on portentous electronic music. Maybe something this good really can't be fully embraced by everyone. In any case, the end is nigh, and Brine will there ushering in the apocalypse with the ultimate soundtrack.

PA Attorney General Convicted of Perjury, Etc.
It took a while, but Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania's disgraced former Attorney General, was convicted last week of multiple criminal charges. The New York Times explains:
A jury found Ms. Kane, 50, guilty of nine criminal charges, including perjury and criminal conspiracy, convicting her of leaking grand jury information, and then lying about it, in an effort to discredit a political rival.
Ms. Kane was caught up in a web of scandal and counterscandal, threaded with lewd emails, political rivalries and alleged leaks. It has cost other state officials, including two State Supreme Court justices, their jobs and Ms. Kane her law license, although she has remained on the job as attorney general.
She remained on the job only until Wednesday night, when her resignation took effect.
From the beginning, Kane's tenure as AG was shot through with political hackery. One of her first moves as AG was to roll over and refuse to defend the state's marriage law after left-wing activists challenged it in court.

Let's face it – the horror movie has become predictable. They're burdened by formula, and adhere to familiar rhythms. A character walks into a dark room, the soundtrack goes quiet, and a shadow passes in the background. The character slowly reaches for the door, and the soundtrack starts back up, letting you know that something scary is about to happen. Then we get a glimpse of some ghastly thing accompanied by an audio stinger, the character screams, and we start all over again. Rinse and repeat.

I used to think of ferns as old-lady plants…no offense to old-ladies. I love old-ladies. I hope to be one someday.
But no more! I was looking for something different for my hanging baskets this year and I found myself utterly smitten with ferns. They're so beautiful. And southern. And despite the face that I live in Pennsylvania, I believe I have a southern heart. (How else can you explain the fact that I make KILLER sweet tea?)
So ferns it is. Mine came from Lowe's, but I've seen beautiful ferns at Home Depot, Sam's Club and Walmart this year. Must be a good year for ferns.
And if you're tempted to leave your hanging baskets in the plastic pots that they came in, let me give you little tip. DON'T DO IT! The baskets aren't big enough to let the plants grow properly for the whole season and the hanger parts aren't long enough.
I've had these metal hanging baskets for nearly 10 years now and they've served me well. I just replace the coconut liners every few years. If you want a step-by-step tutorial for re-potting your hanging baskets, check out my post from last year.
Much better!
What's in your baskets this year?
