The Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86 has caused quite a stir among sports car enthusiasts. This is partly because it's a fun and interesting car in its own right, and partly because its introduction just might mark the beginning of a new era of affordable, but fun, Japanese sport compacts. Everybody is eagerly awaiting FR-S competitors, but a higher priority for fans is a faster version of the FR-S. For the previous generation of these sorts of cars, this would have meant a turbo version, but in a conversation with Top Gear, the car's chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, said that a turbo FR-S wasn't coming.
What he said Toyota was working on instead was a version with a KERS hybrid system, similar to the one found in Toyota's TS030 Le Mans prototype racer. This system gathers energy from braking and stores it in supercapacitors, it can then be used to give the car a boost of torque on the straights. This is a technology which is popular in race cars, but hasn't yet taken off in road cars, and Tada even touched on the reason why, saying "Toyota wants to make things accessible. The capacitor is appropriate technology, but it's not as lightweight as you might think, and it's expensive."
He said that Toyota did indeed have prototype of the car in testing with a KERS system, but he wouldn't say whether it used capacitors. Neither would he say whether a production version would use them, saying basically that it's possible, provided the technology improves soon. Of course, this was far from an official confirmation, Tada only said they were working on such a car and that it's the kind of thing he would like to build. There is no promise that the car will actually be built or that this version will even make it to the US. The idea is certainly exciting, and the FR-S would almost definitely be the cheapest car to have such a system, at least for a while. It has the potential to be the car that would finally make the technology more mainstream.

Other then the first quarter, I thought this was one of Al's better games.

Burks not a great shooting night, but played good D and ran the offense acceptable while at PG.

I thought Ty's coaching was great today.
He saw that Watson was causing the defense to collapse off him and the Jazz were playing offense 4 on 5. Ty switched it to Burks and the defense respected Burks enough to guard him. Hopefully Ty can be more comfortable with Burks out there because Watson is shooting at Othyus Jefferian levels. Teams are just not gaurding him. It's amazing how little they respect his shooting.
Burks also changed the game defensively. With Hayward at 6'8'' and Burks at 6'6'', all of a sudden our athleticism and height is uncanny and tough to beat. Hayward's floater looks real nice. That was my first complaint about him last year and he's solved it. Good win.
wait... HE SHOT A FLOATER?!?! XMAS CAME EARLY IN 2013.

All of that said, I think he needs to go. My reasons are to free up time for our young bigs and to get picks. Roll with the youth movement..get rid of him AND Sap please...
but yeah, Big Al is easily our best player and has been for a while. That, also, is illegal to say here.

After many years of personal research and travel, Chuck Anderson is sharing what he has learned with an easily accessible and informative online list he has named, "In Search of Eden."
Anderson's list identifies what he considers the top 30 cities in the United States.
More specifically, Anderson has spent nearly five decades traveling the length and breadth of the continental United States looking for what he considers the most charming and livable towns and small cities in America. Not too long ago, Anderson visited Summerville. Shortly after that, Summerville made his list; in fact, Summerville comes comfortably into the top twenty at number 17 on the list.
"Summerville really has it all," Anderson said. "First off, it's got a nice climate – warm pretty much all year round and lots of sunshine. You're near the coast but you don't quite have the heat and humidity of Charleston. And Summerville has a very charming downtown area that everyone seems to really want to visit and enjoy."
Anderson, who just celebrated his 74th birthday, says he just wants to share his information with anyone who is interested. Ideally, he says he wants to help people find their "Eden," their perfect places to live, raise families, retire – but he also wants people living in the places that made his list to know what treasures they actually have.
Criteria he considers include setting, climate, population patterns, accessibility, good schools, cost of living, employment opportunities, entertainment opportunities, and public safety.
One of the most important characteristics he looks for in a town is a sense of identity – it must have a sense of self, as opposed to being a bedroom community for somewhere else, he said.
Clearly, Summerville has its own sense of self and personality, he noted.
Anderson started traveling around and taking notes of all the places he visited starting in the early 1960s. His original idea was to write a book in the vein of Norman Ford's "50 Best Cities," a book published in the 1950s.
"The book was already outdated by the time I discovered it, but it was still helpful," Anderson said of Ford's work. "And as I traveled and pursued my geographic studies, it occurred to me that I could produce an up-to-date, and possibly even better, cities list."
Anderson, a retired high school geography/social studies/civics teacher with undergraduate and graduate degrees in Geography from Michigan State and Kansas State universities, said he received a number of offers from major magazines, including the Saturday Evening Post to publish his work. However, he opted to fine tune his research until it was ready to publish as a book.
By the late 1980s Anderson had compiled a vast amount of material and was preparing to submit his work for publication when personal tragedy struck: a propane explosion destroyed his home, injuring him and killing his mother.
The explosion also destroyed all of his work.
The aftermath of that tragedy left him depressed and uninspired for a number of years, he said.
"I almost gave it up," he said. "I kind of lost my will to do this work – but I never stopped traveling."
So it was that about twelve years ago, Anderson decided to re-boot his project – literally. While he still loves to travel, he does much of his basic research on the Internet.
In fact, the Internet has not only provided him a new and far wider reaching forum, publishing on the Internet also allows him to make changes quickly and inexpensively when the need arises, he said.
"Cities and towns change constantly, thus, the list can change frequently," he said.
Nonetheless, all cities and towns that make his list share important characteristics in common, he said.
"A really good small city has the best of amenities and opportunities of a larger city, but retains, preserves, and cherishes the things that make it special," Anderson said. "Summerville is definitely one of those places."

FREMONT - Like any good retailer, St. Joe took charges and cash.
And when it needed a little more, it would steal it.
By the end, St. Joe had racked up a number of charges and cashed in on a 62-38 Midland Athletic League victory.
The Crimson Streaks (2-0, 1-0 MAL) cashed in on 22 turnovers and turned them into 22 points.
"We've only had 13 days of practice and I thought we put it together for almost the entire game," St. Joe coach Jonathan Will said. "I can't say that I'm surprised by that, but at the same time, 32 minutes is tough to do, (to keep it up) the whole game, especially this early. They executed the game plan to perfection tonight."
St. Joe's frenetic defense caused all kinds of problems, not only with turnovers, but by taking charges and holding Seneca East to 16 of 45 shooting.
Fact Box

Field goals: Seneca East 16-45; St. Joe 26-54.
3-point goals: Seneca East 2-13 (Phillips, Bordner); St. Joe 3-7 (Sessler, Z. Yeckley, Macielewicz).
Foul shots: Seneca East 4-8; St. Joe 7-11.
Rebounds: Seneca East 25 (Hahler 13); St. Joe 35 (Williams 11, Stierwalt 10).
Turnovers: Seneca East 22; St. Joe 16.
"(We) took two or three charges and I thought our press tonight was really good tonight to help build the lead to what it was early and help us cap it off late, as well," Will said.
But it wasn't just the defense that showed off. The offense was superb as well with four Streaks in double figures: Jordan Sessler (17 points), Connor Dudley (11 points), Zack Yeckley (11 points) and Luke Stierwalt (10 points). The Streaks fired at a 26-of-54 clip from the field.
"St. Joe played well. They shot the ball well early on," Seneca East coach Joe Bedingfield said. "We came out a little slow and they played a lot better than we did early on. They were the better team tonight and they came out ready to play."
The tone was set early as St. Joe came out with a 6-0 lead in the first 41 seconds and was off to the races from there. When Ben Hahler scored with 4:20 to go in the first quarter for Seneca East, it cut the lead to 8-4 but it was also the last time the Tigers (1-1, 0-1 MAL) scored for more than five minutes. In the meantime, St. Joe built up a 17-4 lead.
"The first quarter was huge because we went to watch them play at Monroeville and Seneca East got off to such a good start. ... Every one of their starters had a 3-point make in the first quarter," Hahler said. "So we had a lot of concerns about getting off to a good start. ... Playing on our home floor gives us such a boost.
There's no better home court advantage than coming here and playing. Our fans got into it early. Our kids fed off that and it lets you relax a bit once you build that big lead up."
Seneca East scored on four of its first six possessions of the second quarter to cut it to 19-11 but a 9-0 spurt by St. Joe put the Streaks up by 17, a margin they carried in halftime.
"Our kids did a tremendous job of staying in the moment tonight and executing the game plan," Will said. "We knew they were going to make a run so we told our team to limit the runs, keep the game where it's at."
Midway through the third, Seneca East cut the lead to 10, 39-29, but the Tigers got no closer the rest of the way.
"We talked about getting the ball inside and trying to get it to Hahler. We just didn't do a good job of that tonight," Bedingfield said. "I thought the pressure bothered us. We didn't make good decisions with the basketball, especially early on. Scoring four points in two quarters is not going to win ballgames. Our offense is definitely sluggish and I have to do a better job of getting the guys ready to go."
Will said the goal was to stop Hahler, who had a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds) in the Tigers' 60-41 drubbing last season. That assignment fell on Ryan Williams. He held Hahler to seven points.
"We challenged Ryan tonight. I think I challenged Ryan more than any other over the course of the week," Will said. "Ben Hahler is one of the top posts in the area. There are a lot of good posts in the league, but he's just a match-up problem for us. He took it to us last year. We challenged Ryan this week in practice. He got after it tonight. We had great post defense and then when the ball did come in, I thought our backside help was always there."
St. Joe owned the glass, 35-25, with Williams and Stierwalt grabbing 11 and 10 boards, respectively. Hahler finished with a game-high 13 points. Both Hahler and Williams each had two blocks.
Nate Phillips paced the Seneca East scoring effort with 17 points.

The Wilson the FBI really wants – Michael, the young, savvy investor who's accused of living the good life at other people's expense – is still a fugitive living in Canada.
But his younger brother was in federal court in Buffalo on Thursday confronting the allegations that he, too, played a role in a scheme to cheat investors out of $8 million.
William W. Wilson, 23, a student at Ohio State University, admitted helping his brother Michael commit one of his crimes as part of a misdemeanor plea deal that also requires him to cooperate in the prosecution of his brother.
"He's a good young man who got in trouble because of his family," Edward C. Cosgrove, Wilson's defense lawyer, said in court Thursday.
Michael H. Wilson arrived with fanfare in 2008 when the 22-year-old Cleveland businessman made what was then Erie County's most expensive residential purchase ever – $6.3 million for two homes in Hamburg.
Unfortunately for Wilson, he also caught the attention of the FBI and federal prosecutors, who eventually charged him with stealing $8 million from investors.
Two years later, Michael Wilson has yet to step foot in court, and Cosgrove confirmed that he's living in Canada, where he reportedly has dual citizenship.
"He's still a fugitive," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Guerra III said Thursday when asked about the elder Wilson.
From Day One, Wilson's younger brother, who was charged as a relatively small figure in the scam, has never run from the charges against him.
Cosgrove is not the first lawyer to suggest that William Wilson suffered because of his brother's fugitive status. He also is not the first to suggest that Michael, not William, was the ringleader.
"I did my own investigation," Cosgrove said.
"I know what Michael did, and I know what little William did."
Cosgrove said William Wilson's involvement was limited to making a few telephone calls to ensure that $71,000 was transferred from one bank account to another.
A federal indictment in late 2010 charged Michael Wilson with running an investment firm that engaged in fraud and money-laundering and that bilked investors out of $8 million over a 12-month period.
Unlike a lot of scams, this one targeted wealthy, sophisticated investors by offering high returns on complex investments, according to court papers.
What he did instead, prosecutors contend, was use the money to buy a home, cars and other personal items.
The public spotlight began to shine on Michael Wilson in July 2009, when The Buffalo News reported that federal agents had searched his two separate but adjoining properties on Boston State Road in Hamburg.
Authorities say Wilson, who moved from Cleveland, put down $2.5 million on the properties but never made any other payments. The 126-acre estate, which includes two houses, ponds and wooded areas, was later taken away from him, as were three automobiles – a Hummer, a Corvette and a Mercedes-Benz.
A federal judge also ordered the forfeiture of seven flat-screen televisions and 15 paintings and sculptures. They included two works by renowned artists Frank DiVita and Michael Flohr valued at $23,000.
The case against Michael Wilson includes allegations that he was so shadowy that some investors didn't know his real name. He often went by the name of "George Possiodis," according to court papers.
He also is accused of using 12 separate companies, including one called Phantom Holdings, to run his investment schemes.
The charges are the result of a lengthy probe by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division.

The 'Independent' Revenue Service
President Obama has a strange view of IRS political accountability.
One notable aspect of the Internal Revenue Service scandal is President Obama's strange view of accountability within the executive branch. In his Monday remarks addressing the targeting of conservative groups for tax-exempt scrutiny, Mr. Obama declared that the IRS is "an independent agency."
Related Video
In his press briefing after the story broke on Friday, White House press secretary Jay Carney hit the same note. "The IRS is an independent enforcement agency with only two political appointees," he said.
The IRS is many things, but "independent" isn't one of them. It is formally part of the Treasury Department and is headed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who is appointed by the President. The Commissioner is accountable to the President reporting through the Treasury Secretary.
The White House has also been at pains to stress that former Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who told Congress in 2012 that there had been no targeting of political groups, was appointed by George W. Bush. So the Commissioner is accountable to the President, as long as he's the former President? Or what?
This attempt to distance Mr. Obama from any control of the IRS is especially rich in light of the Administration's recent attempts to bend other genuinely independent agencies like the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to its will via non-recess recess appointments. The Administration is currently petitioning the Supreme Court to hear its appeal of the D.C. Circuit's decision declaring its NLRB recess appointments unconstitutional.
So let's look at how the U.S. legal code describes the varying standards of Presidential "accountability": The IRS Commissioner "may be removed at the will of the President." A labor board member "may be removed by the President, upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause." At the CFPB, the President "may remove the Director for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." The IRS job is not like the other two.
Congress gave the President the power to hire and fire the IRS chief precisely to ensure that the tax authority is politically accountable. By claiming the IRS is "independent," Mr. Obama is trying to rewrite the lines of accountability to spare himself, even as he demands for public soundbite purposes that any culprits be held "fully accountable." In any case it's hardly reassuring if the politicized tax enforcement was done by career bureaucrats. This would mean such abuses are embedded in IRS enforcement culture.
The White House says Mr. Obama only learned of the IRS political abuses from news reports. Funny, that's also how they learned about the Justice Department seeking the phone records of the Associated Press. And who knows what the State Department or "the intelligence community" was up to on Benghazi. The Washington Examiner's David Freddoso joked on Twitter that "Seal Team 6 is the only govt agency that acts directly on Obama's behalf." All others are run by career officials who keep screwing up. Your "independent" government at work.

BEDFORD - After 45 minutes of deliberation Thursday evening, a Bedford County jury acquitted Randy Scott Foor of two charges in the death of his longtime friend, Dennis Sprigg of Manns Choice.
Foor, 52, of Bedford Township who had remained stone-faced throughout the two day-trial, burst with emotion as a court clerk read the verdict, embracing defense attorney Thomas Dickey as his rows of supporters gasped and cried with relief.
"The truth won," Foor said as he left the courtroom. He fought back tears at the mention of Sprigg, who died in a coma last year after Foor pushed him to the ground - in self-defense, Dickey maintained - amid a drunken argument.
Sprigg's mother, Shirley Sprigg, quietly left the courtroom as Foor's family and supporters celebrated.
"My son's death doesn't mean anything to anybody," she said.
Foor had faced charges of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault in the incident, which witnesses claimed was sparked by an alcohol-fueled argument between the close friends. Last year, he withdrew a guilty plea to manslaughter to face a jury trial.
Dickey pressed a self-defense argument for much of the case, portraying Sprigg as a physically tough weightlifter who angrily confronted Foor after hours of drinking.
As Sprigg shoved his finger in Foor's face, witnesses claimed, the defendant pushed him back with both hands. The push reportedly caused Sprigg to fall backward, striking his head off a concrete surface and suffering fatal blunt force trauma.
In closing arguments Thursday, Higgins portrayed Foor's immediate reaction - tearfully apologizing to his unconscious friend - as those of an assailant, not a man who had defended himself.
"When you take your hands and push someone to the ground, that is not an accident," he said.
Foor later visited his wounded friend in the hospital and, when he died, attended his funeral. A mutual friend described the men as "like brothers," despite occasional squabbles.
The fatal argument began when Sprigg asked Foor to let him onto his softball team, witnesses recalled. It later mushroomed into a confusing drunken fight over who had been in more car accidents, they said.
After the trial, Dickey called the defense an uphill battle, but said jurors had likely imagined themselves in the case.
"You don't have to take a beating. You don't have to get smacked," he told jurors in closing arguments. Two witnesses, both teenage brothers and relatives of Foor, testified that Sprigg had been the aggressor.
As the courtroom emptied, Higgins said Foor will have to live with his guilt regardless of the verdict.
"I don't like to cry over spilled milk," he said. "It was a tough case."

The arch-enemies of Mateus, God of the Universe. Super-strong, super-deadly, and super-terrifying. Origin unknown. Although neither dead nor alive, they are capable of reproduction. They are attracted to love, happiness, and everything good, which is why Mateus made Earth a very unhappy place. Earth "zombies" are descended from them but much less powerful.
Mateus: "WTF!?!? What is with people falling in love just to have sex? Did they miss the point of hookers? They're gonna attract The Zombies and I'm gonna have to fight them then I'm gonna get all pissy and send a meteor planetside. Dang, all this talk of killing has got me horny.

Mental Health Courts to the Rescue: An Innovation That's Working
The scenario is all too common in this day and age of inadequate mental health services: A person with a serious mental illness, needing treatment, attracts the attention of the police because he or she is acting in a bizarre and inappropriate way. This person is not a criminal, but rather someone who needs professional mental health treatment and services.
Across the country, jails and prisons have emerged as de-facto psychiatric treatment facilities, although they are ill-equipped to meet this responsibility. Now a potential solution has emerged in the form of Mental Health Courts (MHCs).
Thanks in part to the tireless efforts of NAMI members over the last six years, there are approximately 70 MHCs across the country and many more in the planning stages. MHCs were created as a link between the criminal justice system and mental health services, with the goal of reducing the criminalization of mental illnesses, overcrowding in jails and prisons, and recidivism rates by improving access to treatment.
MHCs are run and staffed by court personnel and mental health professionals who understand the needs of persons with mental illnesses. In the case of criminal defendants with mental illnesses, many are now diverted from traditional criminal courts into MHCs, where they are sentenced to treatment programs, including community-based supports, rather than jails where mental health treatment is woefully inadequate. The court monitors clients to ensure that they are complying with the terms of their treatment programs. If clients are non-compliant, the court can impose sanctions, ranging from altering a client's treatment program to incarceration.
NAMI has begun compiling information on all of these courts, such as contact information, eligibility requirements and sources of funding to assist consumers seeking diversion programs and advocates seeking to create mental health courts in their communities. NAMI, in conjunction with other organizations and persons, will continue to compile and update this information, which will be available soon on the NAMI website at www.nami.org.

And while Lindsay Lohan didn't get rave reviews for playing Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's Liz & Dick, Danielle Fishel as Lohan as Taylor is a different story!
The upcoming Girl Meets World star, 31, in a tight-fitting, cleavage-baring black dress, filmed the skit for E!, telling viewers she "wanted to give you guys a little behind the scenes" of her process pretending to be the 26-year-old star, most famous this week for her bar fight in N.Y.C.
Going into a fictitious drunken tirade, Fishel sobs, screams, laughs and throws empty bottles in-between boozy sips.
"Why am I playing Lindsay Lohan, anyway?" jokes the actress, as she rips apart a script. "Excuse me for being a well-adjusted child star!"
Mocking Lohan's portrayal of Taylor's affair with Richard Burton, Fishel even makes out with a head shot of Soup host, Joel McHale, and whispers, "We really shouldn't be doing this," before shouting, "Stop it, you are a married man!"

Why the Google Books Settlement is Procompetitive
Einer Elhauge
Harvard Law School
May 20, 2010
The Journal of Legal Analysis, Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 1-68, 2010
Although the Google Books Settlement has been criticized as anticompetitive, I conclude that this critique is mistaken. For out-of-copyright books, the settlement procompetitively expands output by clarifying which books are in the public domain and making them digitally available for free. For claimed in-copyright books, the settlement procompetitively expands output by clarifying who holds their rights, making them digitally searchable, allowing individual digital display and sales at competitive prices each rightsholder can set, and creating a new subscription product that provides digital access to a near-universal library at free or competitive rates. For unclaimed in-copyright books, the settlement procompetitively expands output by helping to identify rightsholders and making their books saleable at competitive rates when they cannot be found. The settlement does not raise rival barriers to offering any of these books, but to the contrary lowers them. The output expansion is particularly dramatic for commercially unavailable books, which by definition would otherwise have no new output.

Traditional sources of funding may have retreated, but a range of new capital providers is rapidly taking their place for financing infrastructure
"When you have lending of more than 15 years, which can be
very important in the infrastructure sector, the availability
of finance from traditional sources of commercial banks
starts to disappear," says Gabriel Goldschmidt, senior
manager infrastructure investments in Latin America and
Caribbean at the Washington-based IFC.
As ever development institutions, export credit agencies
and capital markets are needed to fill the gap. "Funding
costs in dollars have increased and tenors are much more
difficult for commercial banks," says Mexico City-based
Javier Martín Robles, managing director at Banco
And the long retreat of European banks as they quit more
active roles in the region has meant that...

God moves in mysterious ways, and a feature of this song is the subtlety of the harmonies which gently shift beneath its surface, which is to say in the searching progress of the inner voices which glide into every chromatic nook and cranny. This is apparent from the Vorspiel where the top and bottom notes of the chords are in unison two octaves apart but where the alto and tenor voices of the hymn-like chords add ethereal and piquant accidentals which immediately suggest an improvisation where the organist's fingers are searching for that elusive lost chord, key to the 'great Amen'. The harmonic changes that occur under 'Still wird die Sehnsucht wach' (the word 'wird' is elongated to five beats) are remarkably illustrative of the stirrings of the deepest aspirations of the soul. (This passage works much less well with the words of the subsequent verses.)
There is a great temptation for many performers to take this song too slowly; although marked 'Langsam', it seems lugubrious and endless when three slow crotchets are deliberately measured out in each bar. The breath and air mentioned in the song are fluid mediums, and despite its rather solid look on the printed page this song can also be surprisingly fluid if not bogged down in portentousness. The spirit of the words calls for a celestial dance, and a gliding dotted minim counted more or less one-in-a-bar. The loping gait of the music (for this is one of Schubert's moto perpetuo songs where everything is dominated by one rhythm) is quite hypnotic if a tempo is found which enables the singer to negotiate the long phrases without sounding laboured.
Himmelsfunken has always been known in the key of G major. It was first published as such by Diabelli (and thus by Friedländer in the Peters Edition). Mandyczewski in the Gesamtausgabe also published the song in G major, and the first edition of the Deutsch catalogue also lists the song in this key. The second edition of Deutsch chooses, however, to follow the tonality of a copy of the song made by Schubert's brother Ferdinand. This is in B flat, and this version of Himmelsfunken has recently (1996) been published in Volume 12 of the song series of the Neue Schubert Ausgabe. In this key, a minor third higher, the song seems light and ethereal and more closely related to the visionary Mayrhofer setting Die Sternennächte which was composed in the same period. The editors of this new edition point out that it is possible that Schubert envisaged that only the first verse of the poem should be performed. If this were so it would explain why only this strophe seems perfectly tailored to the music (in later verses long note-values fall on obviously inessential words like 'zu' and 'wie').
Johann Silbert was born in Kolmar in Alsace and studied in Mainz. He spent some years as a high-school teacher in the Hungarian towns of Klausenberg and Kronstadt, but he moved to Vienna where he was Professor of French at the Polytechnisches Institut. He was an avid theologian and a friend of the celebrated Redemptorist pastor Clemens Maria Hofbauer who was canonized at the beginning of the twentieth century as Patron Saint of Vienna. Indeed, at the time that Silbert wrote the collection entitled Die heilige Lyra (from which Schubert chose his two settings) Hofbauer was coming to the end of his life, having established his own monastery. Silbert was obviously a devout follower of Hofbauer and one of a large number of essentially amateur poets who elaborated at length on religious issues popular with the reading public. It is likely that the Bildung circle, of which Schubert was a part, discussed recently-published books, and that Silbert's collection (essentially modest in comparison to the ground-breaking writings of Novalis) came to the composer's notice in this way.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. —He's an American success story; he's a Mafioso-like pimp; he's a scuzz-bag misogynist: opinions about Joe Conforte, founder of the infamous Mustang Ranch, vary wildly, depending upon your perspective.
David Toll, author of "Breaks, Brains and Balls," Joe Conforte's biography, will tell all about this character Thursday, Sept. 20, at 6:30 p.m. at the Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City.
"People know very little about him. People know very little about this aspect of Nevada history. This really is a history book, the kind of history they don't teach you in schools," said Toll.
Born in Sicily, Conforte's life sounds like one of the "Godfather" movies. He remembers, "watching my mother in her outdoor kitchen, fanning the fire beneath the big cooking pot with a raven's wing." His family emigrated to the U.S. east coast when he was about 11 years old. Conforte later moved to Oakland where he drove taxi cabs. In the mid 1950s, he began to dabble as an "entrepreneur," opening his first Nevada brothel. The world's oldest profession was illegal at that time, and Conforte became a known quantity to authorities. In 1971, Nevada legalized prostitution, making Conforte's Mustang Ranch a mainstream sensation.
Doors open for Thursday's event at 6 p.m. Toll speaks at 6:30 p.m. "Breaks, Brains and Balls," will be for sale and Toll will be signing. The event is free for NLTHS members; $10 suggested donation for non-members. For more information, call 530-583-1762 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

"There is a point where feelings go beyond words," two-time costar Robert Redford said in a statement. "I have lost a real friend. My life – and this country – is better for his being in it."
The pair, who shared heartthrob status in their heyday, starred together in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969 and again in The Sting, in 1973. A testament to their easygoing friendship: Redford famously gave Newman a dented, engine-less Porsche as a joke for his birthday one year. Newman repaid the favor by having the car crushed and sent back to the actor.
Hollywood in MourningNewman's Absence of Malice costar Sally Field echoed the sentiment of fondness for the Oscar winner. "I was blessed to have known him," she said in a statement. "The world is better because of him. Sometimes God makes perfect people and Paul Newman was one of them."
Martin Scorsese, who directed Newman in The Color of Money – for which he won the Best Actor Oscar in 1987 – paid tribute to Newman's big screen legacy. "It's a great loss, in so many ways," said Scorcese in a statement. "The history of movies without Paul Newman? It's unthinkable. His presence, his beauty, his physical eloquence, the emotional complexity he could conjure up and transmit through his acting in so many movies – where would we be without him?"
The director called Newman's characters "lasting and durable" and praised his effortless talent. "His powerful eloquence, his consummate sense of craft, so consummate that you didn't see any sense of effort up there on the screen, set a new standard."
George Clooney, a fellow humanitarian (and heartthrob), never worked with Newman onscreen, but saluted the actor's impact on the world: "He set the bar too high for the rest of us – not just actors, but all of us. He will be greatly missed."

Roseanne Barr is returning to the small screen to play the TV mom of a famous face.
The former TV star has signed on to play Andy Richter's mom on The Millers, TVLine.com reports.
Winter Olympics crying faces
Barr's character, Darla, is described as the "hypercritical" mother of Doug (Richter), who works with Nathan (Will Arnett) at the local TV station.
The gig represents a change of heart for Barr, who declared back in November that she was "never going to work in television again" following two failed development deals and her short-lived 2011 Lifetime reality series, Roseanne's Nuts.
In recent years, Barr has guest-starred on The Office and Portlandia.
The Millers airs Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on CBS. Are you excited for Barr's appearance?

The Public Works Historical Society (PWHS/the Society) has established an endowment fund for the sole purpose of funding selected award programs, publishing projects and special events as they relate to the historical preservation of the public works environment and the PWHS Strategic Plan. This endowment fund is managed and administered by the American Public Works Association (APWA).
Financial Management
All contributions madewill be identified as part of the permanent endowment and will not be exhausted at any point. All funds will be subject to an annual audit by an independent certified public accounting firm in conjunction with the audit of APWA's financial statements. Non-cash contributions (securities, stocks, autos) will be accepted with the understanding that APWA is able to liquidate the assets and deposit the proceeds into the endowment fund account as cash.
Contributions to the endowment fund qualify as a charitable deduction for the donor, subject to IRS regulations because APWA is a 501(c) (3) organization. All non-cash contributions will be valued at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and IRS regulations.
Use of Funds
The endowment fund will be used to fund current award program, future award programs and specific events and projects as approved by the Board of Trustees during their annual review of the work plan. The APWA Board of Directors will have the authority to increase and decrease award amounts, eliminate and initiate award programs based on public interest, and create and dissolve projects as warranted to adhere to the work plan based on recommendation from the Board of Trustees. This fluctuation in the use of the funds does not give the Board or Trustees or the APWA Board of Directors the authority to utilize or expend the principal contributions created by the endowment fund. The Board of Trustees and the APWA Board of Directors will have the authority only to expend interest earnings on the contributions in conjunction with the annual work plan.
We would like to acknowledge the individuals, chapters and corporations who have contributed and extend our appreciation to all donors.

A reader following our coverage of micromachining recently had the idea that this focus might enable him open a particularly compact startup shop. He asked our online micromachining expert, John Bradford, what a shop such as this would need. John's reply is the best checklist for starting a CNC job shop that I have seen. Here are two points I find significant:
- The machine tool is not close to being the top item on the list.

The 5 Worst Things About Getting a Job in a Small Town
I live in the perpetually repressed Midwest (feel free to use that as your goth-rockabilly band name) where jobs are as scarce as its citizens' political debates that don't use the N-word. The area is basically town, corn, town, corn, corn, corn, town, corn ... so unless you're made of fertilizer, there's not much available for you to do. So when I hear people using phrases like "just get a job" when talking about the poor, I can't help but think that they've never walked in their half-eroded, knockoff Walmart shoes. It's hard for a financially secure person to understand why it's so difficult if they haven't lived it.
I have. And I can tell you that the hurdles small-town people face come equipped with razor wire and live ammo watchtowers. For instance ...
#5. Everyone Is Competing for Shit Work
Steve Mason/Photodisc/Getty Images
You don't have to live in a small town to know that there's not much to do in one. Outside of Doc Hollywood and that one Chevy Chase movie where he's a writer in a small town full of sociopaths, a main character who lives in one will usually be trying to escape it. What's easy to forget is that the lack of entertainment means a lack of the businesses that provide it -- hence, less jobs.
Because of the small populations of these towns, the businesses that aren't absolute necessities (grocery stores, gas stations, bars) see very little foot traffic, so they need a very small staff. Many times, those stores are just run by the owners themselves. And when you look at that as a whole, it adds up to a small handful of businesses with a small handful of employees to sustain an entire community of people. Not counting meth labs, obviously.

Ain't nothin' in that barn 'cept cows and love, son. Move along.
Unless the town has a local factory, the aforementioned grocery stores and gas stations are often going to be the most likely places to find a job -- they're the ones making money. My town has three gas stations, one grocery store, and about 2,000 citizens ... a large portion of whom currently have applications on file at all four places. Since the demand for employment is so high and the supply is so low, the businesses are now free to drop their starting pay down to "fuck you and any pets you might have."
Everything is minimum wage, because not only can anyone do those jobs, if someone complains, there's the door. They could hire someone new by the end of the hour. And you can bet your ass that if you're looking for an evening shift, you're just screwed -- it's going to a high school kid because they are somewhat disposable. You don't have to worry about vacation time, seniority, babysitter problems ... many of them are already on their parents' insurance, so you don't have to give them that benefit. Plus, they're still young enough to work with a hangover and not think anything of it.

Underneath his boyish charms lies a quivering colon of pent-up hatred.
Of course, if you are one of the lucky few to get local work, it can actually get even worse because ...
#4. Businesses Take Advantage of Part-Time Labor
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
Our local grocery store, IGA, is one of the few businesses in the area that can and does hire dozens of people. When my mother-in-law moved here last year, she got a job there doing office work and payroll. She's basically a manager without having the title or vast flowing wizard robes of one. It's a pretty important job, which is why they pay her enough that she can live the life of luxury in income-based housing and qualify for government assistance with food.
How? Well, first, they start by paying her a single-digit per-hour wage (even after a raise), and as the manager told her with pride, "That's the most we've ever paid anyone for this position! You're doing great work!" Second, they have only two or three full-time employees, and she's not one of them. Everyone who isn't full-time is prohibited from working more than 28 hours per week so that they can avoid legally mandated healthcare benefits. Score!
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
"Feeling better? Good. Now get the fuck out of my hospital, you uninsured ingrate."
So now if she wants to earn a livable wage, she'll have to take a second part-time position at a different business under the same rules and work 56 hours per week. Sixteen of those hours that would normally go to overtime won't, because they're split between two jobs. The benefits that she'd normally get from one full-time job with those hours aren't available, so basically, she's working in the 1850s again. I'm genuinely surprised they haven't fined her for wearing gentleman trousers.
It's like that everywhere now. And don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on businesses. I completely understand the need for cuts and why they do it. I have no interest in a debate about morality -- I'm more interested in the effects it has in reality. And the reality that I'm seeing is that the average person working the average small-town job is finance-dicked right in their average assholes.
Thomas Northcut/Photodisc/Getty Images
Great. Now she's forced to sell her sweet-ass chair. You can't even call that a Depression Room anymore.
So what's the next logical step? Finding work in the next bigger town and commuting. People do that all the time, so what's the problem? Well ...
#3. Paychecks Are Destroyed by Commutes
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
The general rule of thumb in the Midwest is that every town is about 30 minutes' drive from the next, and every group of towns usually has a sort of central mini-city hub that fares better than all the rest. For people who have never been out of a big city, it's not like suburbs. These are individual towns separated by long stretches of nothing but open road, wandering dogs, and the flat remnants of once-wandering dogs.
These hub cities attract workers from many of the surrounding smaller cities, but it's not without its sting. When my wife worked 40 minutes away, we were paying roughly $60 a week ($240 a month) in gas alone. And that's even with a fuel-efficient car. If you're single or both parents work at the same time, you also have to factor in costs of babysitters and the occasional call from school saying, "This little shitfuck is sick as balls. Come pick his bitch-ass up, dawg."
Sam Edwards/OJO Images/Getty Images
"We tried to stop the fever by putting a really stupid scarf on him, but it didn't work."
Then there's the fact that you're losing a minimum of one hour every day just from the drive, but you can't get around it because what other choice do you have? By the time you factor in all the nickel-and-dime bullshit (oil changes and tires need attention much more often), that commute has cut your paycheck into neat little fragments like it was on an episode of Dexter.
But people commute all the time in bigger cities. What's the big deal about doing it in small ones? The hub cities I'm referring to are just larger versions of the smaller towns that surround it. We're talking about an area where the largest town is 10,000 people. And since everyone is attempting to get a job in that city, the "we'll pay you jack shit and you'll fucking like it" rule still applies. Yes, the jobs are more plentiful there, but the pay is pretty much the same. The only way to stop the commute cost from wiping its ass with your bank statement is to move to that town, which often has a higher cost of living.

"And this strip under the window is your bed. That'll be four trillion dollars, please."
Oh, and there's also the fact that ...

The Science Of Marketing
Marketing in Silicon Valley requires a scientific approach.
By Julie Zhou (Growthmaster, Hipmunk)
Math was my favorite subject in high school. After college, I was primed for the well-trodden path to investment banking where I could play with numbers all day. Instead, when Google came calling in search of marketers, my career took an unexpected turn.
Marketing? The department first to get budget cuts in tough times? Why was a company that had grown into a global powerhouse by living and breathing data hiring marketers?
Years later, I had learned that marketing was unmistakably a science – it was the science of discovering what people loved

Turbinado sugar is a pale brown granulated sugar. It's made by adding molasses to granulated sugar. This gives it a deeper color and flavor. One good brand is Sugar In The Raw.

Joined by two female friends, Swift was spotted paddle boarding on Napatree Beach in sunglasses and a purple two-piece bathing suit.
"She had a little trouble getting off the board, but she definitely held her own," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
A Watch Hill resident adds that once Swift made it to the shore, she announced "successful landing!"
After spending some time on the water, Swift waved to fans before heading home.

The Stalling of Gerakan
"The people can assist and encourage the BN to change by giving BN support in the (upcoming) by-elections. This will give those of us in BN more support and strength to continue the process of reform from within."
Koh's statement has exposed a reality within BN and Gerakan. Both Koh and Gerakan have yet to understand the real meaning of change. If BN leaders, especially UMNO, are serious about change they do not need external support to do so. Change must come internally.
The coalition has ruled the country for more than 50 years. It still enjoy a huge parliamentary majority. In fact, leaders of the coalition are boasting about their power grab in Perak. What more support needed by the coalition? It has all the support and electoral advantage to do whatever necessary. Alas, the coalition has decided to reciprocate differently by using coercive forces, public institutions and archaic security legislation to pounce on their political opponents and civilians.
I am surprised that time and time again the Gerakan president has displayed his naivete and lack of political finesse. To push the BN to change, voters must be willing to punish the coalition for not respecting their constitutional rights. UMNO is still playing the same old political game of using both religion and race to pump up communal support. Now the party is toying with feudalism to defend the monarchy. No one is above the law, not even a monarch or a UMNO president.
Gerakan president and its leaders are barking up the wrong tree. It should ask UMNO to give the coalition a chance. If UMNO keeps its old habits, it will be detrimental to its partners like Gerakan.
Even Koh is not so confident of a change despite being given additional support in the by-elections. He was quick to say "However, it will take some time and effort to bring about real reform in a big coalition of diverse parties representing various communities and interests."
If Koh is not even convinced himself, can he hope to convince the voters to give BN a blank cheque? Voters have done this for the past 12 general elections.
Why still no change? If Gerakan really clamour for a change, it should start with its own leadership. Its leaders in Penang are busy nosing around with Lim Guan Eng's safety and his press ban of NST. It should start to address its own priorities and stop making such stupid statements like this one.
13 comments:
Why does Gerakan need a by-election victory to bring about reform?
Reform takes place in defeat not in victory.
To start with, Gerakan must divorce itself from UMNO to every have a hope of reform.
Abuse of institutions like EC, Polce, Macc, Courts and civil service will never help BN to reform.
Public Perception is everything.
Suffering from very bad public perceptions is certainly a halt to whatever reform BN trying to do.
For instance, today we'll some big names being hauled up for money politics in UMNO, although (I truly doubt) they finally become sincere in reforming and because UMNO is suffering from very bad public perception, the public will only see:
1. This is a gimmick before the meeting.
2. Public will question the timing of these events.
3. Public will see Najib having a hand on the candidates he wants.
4. Pre-judgement that nothing going to happen, a mere suspension is at most.
5. Why didn't this act reported to MACC?
You see, when you suffer from bad public perception, no matter what you try to do will be viewed with doubt and cloud with agendas. There's no way BN can reform until they restore confidence in their leadership.
If now, Najib suddenly being replaced by Tengku Razaleigh, public perception will suddenly change, and today's action of punishing people in money politics will have more effect and the events will then be more believable in the public eye.
Understanding the root cause of not being able to reform which is your leadership suffering from VERY bad public perception, is the first step to reforming. Remove him, and replace with some credible in the public eye (like TRH) will automatically enable BN to reform again.
Don't believe? Go down and ask the public.
Leadership comes along with responsibility. In time of Global Financial difficulties which is beginning to hit Malaysia hard, UMNO-BN is fully engaged themselves in gutter politics. Dividing the nation, instead of uniting all malaysians, to face this difficult period should be utmost in the ruling administration agenda.
Dr Toh, did you see any trace of change in UMNO?
You must be living in another planet.
Get real laa kukoo, the malays voted gerakan and chinanese vote dap, all the time.

Hi everyone,
It's pathetic for KTK to appeal to the people to give BN a chance in the upcoming by-elections! The call that comes from a political eunuch would only be counter-productive and put-off even more voters!
The people would only give BN a chance if there's real and sincere attempt by BN (read UMNO) to change and heed the voice of the people thru' 308 GE. As long as the voters view that BN and UMNO is not prepared to change significantly, then they'll be punished in the by-elections and the next GE.
Change first, then ask for a chance!
hello. hello. this guy has a doctorate degree. naivete nor stupid he is not. he has just run out of ideas to con the voters to give bn their support. so as a last resort, play the underdog card and beg for sympathy votes.
for sure, gerakan can play this role very well as they have been beggars to umno all their lifes, to quote their former leader, another doctor by profession.
one reader puts KTK right...nothing but an UMNO/BN enuch !
enuch they only enjoy by seeing the emperor enjoy not the rakyat!does he looks like one???
- khian beng said...
Probably he still dream to return as CM of Penang or Minister of something under BN (UMNO) umbrella.
well said tan (tanjung bunga). Change first before ask for a chance.
KKP is correct. Gerakan would not return into the heart of Penangites by making all those stupid noise.
For many years, Gerakan virtually had no opposition in the state assembly. They could do whatever they liked but somehow they could not "change". Why should we expect them to be able to "change" now.
Is KTK admitting that Gerakan had not been doing its job for decades and now begging for a second chance?
Shall we entrust Gerakan again? Shall we let Gerakan to try again when it has had decades to deliver? I personally shall not. Towards the end of Gerakan in Penang, some of their ADUN & EXCO were so arrogant and out of touch that they were such sad
sightings. I once broguht some issue to a Gerakan EXCO, this EXCO's respond was full of condescending remarks "you people.. you people... you people...!" Yes, "WE PEOPLE" in Penang decided to vote out Gerakan last year.
KTK'S doctorate or whatever degree he has must be revisited.
everybody in penang with or without degree knows that Gerakan is going down except it's president. Goodbye to gerakan and the bunch in it.
- XXX said...
Dear Mr Khoo,
Please could you write a nice open letter to Mr Koh Tsu Koon and tell him nicely why he should tell Gerakan to renovate its internal organs.
Thank you.
Gerakan has become a lost soul in hell. Unwanted by the people. Barely tolerated by it partners in tyranny.
It has try project an image that it is still relevant by making statements. In fact, it is reduced to making statement.
Unfortunately, its political statements are just blubbering inanities.
Like I mention before, if LGE government has the ability of maintaining the present performance with fewer wastages and corruptions (no total controlled because not all civil servants are under LGE), it would be sufficient enough for LGE to be in power in Penang for a long long time.
BN has simply lost credibility. Perhaps, it would be better to give a thorough CLEAN SWEEP in the state assembly. DAP too has learn a lesson on this. Perhaps, the reason why LKS left Penang.
It's impossible for Gerakan to come back. Even if they claim that they can perform far exceedingly better than DAP led Pakatn govenrment, the bug bear is with UMNO.
Khoo's exhortation on LGE government to better perform is irrelevant. Khoo's right about Penangites. They are the smarter animals. Smarter animals consider all angles, covering all corners. With the emergence of strong DAP instead of a motley crew of MIC, MCA & Gerakan, they will stick to DAP.
I would not be surprised, there would be a trouncing defeat if Gerakan were to stand again 5, 10 or 20 years from the now. It's the same thinking that kept Tsu Koon for 19 years.
Can Gerakan cover 25 seats by itself? Can Gerakan penetrate into UMNO's teritory in Penang? This is the problem of having a unity government. Gerakan has fallen to a state that they are begging for seats.
Political strength is far exceedingly important when it comes to Penang. Government performance is secondary, coupled with the fact LGE's hand are tied. LKY & his teams ran into problems dealing with Tunku. LKY's brain is smarter. He also kenna ejected. You think LGE can
Hence, I would focus on seeing a total destruction of BN. Get federal power first, then talk about individual state's performance
By the way, People centric policies ain't new. Tunku or most probably Razak create havoc in Singapore with Utusan Melayu & those so called melayu NGOs.
DAP was PAP Malaysia built upon the principle of Malaysian Malaysia. Exactly the same Ketuan rakyat. What Anwar has said now is the same of what LKY said during the 60s. The Malaysia solidarity thingy. Stephen Kalong Ningkan is one of them.
Read LKY's memoir, folks!
