Council races leave starting gates
POULSBO In the Poulsbo City Council races for the Nov. 4 election, incumbent Jackie Aitchison will face Connie Lord for position 2 and Jeff McGintys bid for re-election in position 4 will be challenged by Elizabeth Hutley.
Below are answers to questions the Herald asked of each candidate in the contested races.
Councilman Mike Regis is running unopposed for position 1 and Councilman Jim Henry is unopposed for position 3. They were not asked to respond.
1.) Why do you want to serve the city in this capacity?
2.) What are your qualifications?
3.) What sets you apart from your opponent?
4.) What is the biggest problem facing the city? How would you solve it?
5.) What facet of city services, departments or government do you feel should be changed during the next four years? How will you implement this change?
Poulsbo City Council Position 2
Jackie Aitchison
1.) It has been a privilege and an honor to work for the citizens for the last 12 years. Id like the opportunity to continue to use my knowledge and experience Ive gained to better our community.
2.) I have served on city council for the last 12 years and was on the Poulsbo Planning Commission for 2 1/2 years prior to council. I have served on all of the city councils committees and have a thorough knowledge of all our citys departments. I have completed the Association of Washingtons Cities Municipal leadership program. Over the years I have attended many seminars and workshops to gain education on all facets of city government. My 12 years experience and record proves I can do the job.
3.) I have been serving the citizens for the past 12 years. After being appointed to council in January 1992, I was elected in 1993 and re-elected in 1995 and 1999. Serving as the councils representative to the Kitsap Regional Coordinating Council, I am well connected on a regional level. Serving on the Puget Sound Council, a state board representing all Puget Sound Cities, I am knowledgeable about issues facing cities. I have a proven record of committed hard work and dedication to our community.
4.) The citys biggest problem is holding the line on expenses while maintaining decent levels of service. Balancing growth and meeting the demands it brings is part of the problem. The 225-acre Olhava development will require increased service from our police, fire and public works departments. Monitoring and maintaining the stormwater ponds will be a big task. Maintenance of the new city park will be necessary. The police must respond to the increased calls. There will be an increase in property and sales tax revenue. The city must earmark these revenues to provide the resources for our departments to meet the needs.
5.) Having just completed a study to analyze where the city could be more efficient, several areas were identified for improvement. I think efficiencies could be realized by reorganizing the planning and engineering departments into a Department of Community Development. The land use process would be easier, more thorough and quicker. The council needs to reinstitute the fifth Wednesday Public Open Houses to improve communications and increase citizen involvement. We need to better utilize our Web site. I will lobby and work with my fellow council members to make this happen.
Connie Lord
1.) Community members have approached me to serve another term. This encouragement is partly due to their questioning the lack of balanced decision making by the incumbent Jackie Aitchison in Position #2.
2.) Besides my four years experience on the Poulsbo City Council (1998-2001), I have extensive experience as a community volunteer and ownership of my own business for 13 years.
3.) Poulsbo needs balanced, reasonable representation. Jackie appears to have given up the practical approach in dealing with the citys issues. During Olhava/Wal-Mart hearings, she acted like an appellant rather than a balanced evaluator of all the facts. She violated the process and continuously expressed disbelief of the staff information. This is an adversarial position to her council role.
Her agenda is environmental issues and limited to this focus. She acts like this is all the community is worried about. The communitys real agenda, and mine, is about controlling utility rates, transportation frustration and promoting sound economic progress.
4.) Keeping our infrastructure costs manageable for the citizens and for the future. I will support staffs efforts to develop long-range comprehensive plans in order to direct the financial investment.
5.) Currently the city has conducted a long overdue Process Study and has developed some substantial recommendations. Highlighted points include the integration of software technology to get more done with less labor, and cost savings strategies for improved services to the community. The Process Study reveals the areas in need of improvement. I welcome this Process Study and compliment the council for their farsightedness and look forward to discussion of the potentials and working on the recommended changes.
Poulsbo City Council Position 4
Jeff McGinty
1.) I have truly enjoyed serving the citizens of Poulsbo as their council representative for the past 12 years and would be honored to serve another four. My wife Julie and I have a 12-year-old daughter Kerri and a 9-year-old son Craig. We cannot think of a better place to raise our family. Serving for the past 12 years has allowed me to provide leadership in shaping the beautiful city we enjoy today. Olympic College, the new library, a cleaner Liberty Bay and the redevelopment of Poulsbo Place are a small fraction of the great things we accomplished.
2.) I am completing my 12th year as a Poulsbo council member and have been Deputy Mayor since 1999. I have a strong background and understanding of city government and the challenges it faces in keeping up with demands. I have a vast knowledge of the issues facing Poulsbo and experience dealing with the challenges faced in the past. My formal education includes a B.S. degree in electrical engineering and continuous education in business, management and supervision. I am currently a division head at Keyport responsible for overseeing a program involving over 50 engineers and technicians.
3.) My experience, willingness to listen, dedication and knowledge of city government sets me apart from my opponent. Having lived in Poulsbo for over 20 years, Ive developed a strong passion for the city and its heritage. During my 14 years in city government, Ive worked hard to preserve and enhance the many things we value and enjoy. Change will always happen. Making good change is the challenge. My record shows the ability to make decisions with an open mind, supporting what is best for the whole city and not by special interest pressure and emotion.
4.) Traffic congestion on highway 305 is probably one of the most visible problems facing Poulsbo. Major upgrades to 305 were schedules in 2003, but were not executed as a result of state funding cutbacks. As the county grows, regional population places more and more demands on city infrastructure. Right now, the city is working on a plan to improve the Bond Road intersection and provide additional lanes by 2006. Although this will help the immediate area, we need to continue working closely with the county in identifying and implementing an overall regional solution.
5.) As the city grows, higher demands are placed on city services. Like most businesses, Poulsbos highest expense is staffing and the challenge of controlling these costs. In a proactive effort to support future demands and control costs, we initiated a process study of all departments. The study was just completed and provides council with greater insight into department functions, processes and the services provided. Working with the departments, council and the mayor, we will look at technological, organizational and process improvements to increase departmental efficiencies, while maintaining high service levels, taking on growth and controlling costs.
Elizabeth Hutley
1.) I became interested and was encouraged to run for city council while attending hearings on the Olhava development project. During the appeal, it became apparent there was a need for checks and balances in the development process; a proactive process to solve increased demands on the city infrastructure (traffic, sewage, stormwater); and an increase in community outreach. I would like to address these issues and represent the community for Poulsbos future.
2.) I have a Bachelor of Science degree in marine science with an emphasis in biology. I have worked with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service and United States Fish and Wildlife. In addition, I have extensive experience in hospital management, which required me to understand budgetary issues, prioritizing of operational needs and employee/customer relations. The blending of my environmental experience with that of my administrative experience allows me to approach the city council with a well-rounded view for growth.
3.) I will bring new perspectives and ideas to the city council. I am motivated and have a schedule that permits me to research issues set before the city council as well as take advantage of educational opportunities. This will assist me in making the most informed choices for Poulsbo. In addition, I am accessible to the community. I can be contacted by phone, by mail and e-mail. I encourage as well as respect the ideas and concerns of the community and believe that the primary purpose of the city council is to achieve the citizens objectives for the future of Poulsbo.
4.) Poulsbo is a rapidly growing city. It is projected to more than double its population within 15 years. In order to meet the needs of the current and future population, development must be held to high standards and these standards need to be maintained. Some of the greatest issues facing Poulsbos growth will be developmental regulations, management of stormwater and sewage and managing high density traffic. These can be achieved, while maintaining the special character of Poulsbo, through the strict adherence to an established system of checks and balances during the development process. In addition, community involvement needs to be a positive rather than a reactive experience. Soliciting citizen input for decisions regarding future development is essential.
5.) The Planning, Engineering and Public Works departments will continue to influence Poulsbos future development. These departments need to balance developmental needs while ensuring best management practices. The City of Poulsbo Comprehensive Plan identifies goals and methods for future development. However, the terminology used to describe these methods is vague and needs to be clearly defined. I believe the city staff is professional and can achieve these goals with the assistance of a motivated city council.

ePublius: Anonymous Speech Rights Online
Miguel E. Larios
Law Office of Stephen F. Potts
July 14, 2010
Rutgers Law Record, Vol. 37, p. 36, 2010
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from abridging the freedom of speech, yet the text of the Amendment does not expressly address the issue of anonymous speech rights. Historical records from state ratifying conventions and from the First Congress do not discuss anonymous expression. Still, anonymous speakers and their works played an immensely important role in the founding era and throughout American history. This essay explores the interplay between the right to speak anonymously and the freedom of speech on the Internet. It concludes that the First Amendment also protects the right of individuals to speak anonymously online.

When the heaviest heat of the summer smothered the East Coast this past July, 10 members of Montoursville Presbyterian Church were sweating down on the New Jersey shore.
As representatives of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), the group spent a week working to restore homes in Seaside Park, N.J., damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The storm happened last October. The end of relief efforts have no end in sight, according to Mike Cillo, Faye Konkle and Don Konkle, three people who made the trip.

"We found out as we got there the need was everywhere," Cillo said. "The outside shell of a lot of buildings looks OK, then you go inside and the devastation is awful."
Even people in that area of New Jersey weren't all aware that people still need help recovering from Sandy.
"People we talked to from there said 'oh, they're still in a mess up there?' " Faye said.
That's not an uncommon occurrence after disaster - people around here were similarly ignorant when victims of the flooding in Sept. 2011 still were homeless months later, Don said.
Montoursville Presbyterian hosted groups of PDA workers after that flood, so this group figured they would return the favor.
"It was a total learning process, a trip of faith for us. We knew it was going to be New Jersey. We weren't sure where we would go," Cillo said. "We had people who had never really done construction, and it was 100 degrees every day."
The Montoursville crew stayed in Toms River, N.J., about a half-hour commute from Seaside Park, at a church that put them up in the basement - the accommodations were simple, but felt luxurious after the hot days of work.
"They had Army cots in the basement and there was air conditioning," Faye said. "It was like going to the Hilton in the evening."
The Sandy victims still waiting on assistance were delighted to have their help. They had waited on assistance from the government and insurance companies for months, they had hired contractors who didn't fulfill promises, and some of them were in danger of losing their houses, since in that region many people who own homes have landlords who own the property underneath.
"People need to see something's going on," Cillo said. "A lot of folks, they were bamboozled. There were a lot of fly-by-night contractors who came in, took money and didn't do anything. They waited so long for government and the insurance companies, and they were just overwhelmed. Everyone was so gracious, they trusted us."
During their week in Seaside Park, the group did a great deal of work on the home of Michelle and Paul.
"They had 10 different contractors work on their home," Cillo said. "The beam on the kitchen floor was stripped down to the joists. The plumbing was off. They had to have a rewiring, and they had new knobs and didn't have working lights."
"They loved to see us come," Faye said. "They were tired and just beat up. They lived three months in a motel, and went night by night to find rooms that were available."
Another man who the crew worked with had a rough year: he had broken his neck in the ocean, had three heart surgeries and then his wife died all in one year. He had the house on the market when Montoursville showed up.
"Once he saw it starting to be restored he took it off the market," Cillo said. "It was where his family had all their memories."
Cillo will return to the New Jersey shore for a third stint of relief work this week.
"There's hundreds of other stories like these," he said. "They need more help."

Ghassan Salhab brought avant-garde "Mountain" to Doha-Tribeca
A filmmaker's "success" can be measured in terms of box office receipts or critical reception. In places without a proper film industry, it can mean getting your films made and seen — all the more difficult when the filmmaker is committed to noncommercial cinema.
By this measure, Ghassan Salhab, whose pic "The Mountain" premiered at the Doha Tribeca Film Fest, is one of Lebanon's most successful filmmakers. Chatting with the writer-director on the sidelines of the festival in November provided a good barometer of the changing models for financing independent Arab film.
Salhab says none of his four features received post-production funding. His first feature, "Beyrouth Fantome" (1998) cost about $400,000. As the helmer lives between Beirut and Paris, it was natural to seek financing from France's unique network of funding agencies.
"I had support from Fund Sud, the Francophonie (France's answer to the British Commonwealth) and some private funding from Beirut."
"Fantome" had a brief career on the festival circuit, later appearing in MENA-region film programs. Most recently it was picked up for Mapping Subjectivity, a program of experimental Arabic-language cinema that screened at MoMA in October-November.
"Terra Incognita" (2002) marked the beginning of the filmmaker's happy, if brief, relationship with the Franco-German television channel Arte, specifically its Fiction unit — which from 1991-2003 was run by Pierre Chevalier.
At $800,000, "Incognita" was Salhab's most expensive film. His only movie to be shot in 35mm, it was selected to have its world premiere in Un Certain Regard section at Cannes in 2002. Arte also saw to it that "Incognita" was broadcast, as was "Fantome," whose rights it purchased.
Salhab's first two features are set "in Beirut" but he doesn't make films "about Beirut" — whether Lebanon's civil war, invasions or clashes between Occident and Orient.
"Fantome" and "Incognita" both deploy ensemble casts in an effort to capture the mood of a space where (whether at war or peace) everything is in a state of suspension.
"The Last Man" (2006) marked Salhab's first experiment with genre — in this case, vampires. It was shot on digital video for $600,000. Though the budget was smaller, under Chevalier's mentorship the film had exposure comparable to that of "Incognita."
This year's "The Mountain" (which was also digitally shot) cost $190,000, with the lion's share of the financing coming from Lebanon — principally Georges Schoucair of Beirut's Abbout Prods. Salhab then received a grant of $60,000 from the Doha Film Institute, making "The Mountain" his first Lebanon-Qatar co-production. The film had its international premiere during the Doha-Tribeca Film Festival, where it screened in DTFF's Arab film competition.
"If a film doesn't have a major festival to provide a window of exposure — Doha, Abu Dhabi or Dubai — it will be a big problem. Without a major festival, you lose the chance of a major market for the film and your producer will become fearful," Salhab says.
The director has two more feature film projects on the drawing board — "The Valley" and "The River," which will complete the outside-of-Beirut series initiated by "The Mountain."
"Much as I enjoy video, I'd love to shoot 'The Valley' in 35mm. I miss the texture, the skin of 35mm," he says.

Before you actually begin making a window opening, there is one step that you absolutely need to do. That step is to go out and purchase your new window, and familiarize yourself with the directions. This will give you some additional specific steps that you may need to follow in order to properly install your window. Once you have done that, you are ready to begin making a window opening.
Before you begin, two notes of caution. Since you will be cutting into your wall you need to be pretty careful. Remember that all exterior walls are load bearing, and as such you will need to provide some extra support to ensure you don't cause any damage to your home. In addition, be very careful when you cut into the walls since you do not want to accidentally cut into any power cords or wiring. In fact, it would be best if you turned off all power to that section of the home before you begin, in order to avoid any accidents.
You have now finished making the opening for your new window. All you need to do now is install the window itself, and refinish the walls.

Will the real Joe Lieberman please stand up!

Joe Lieberman cozies up to another right-winger? Anyone surprised? Why is it that Lieberman, a life-long Democrat, again prefers to be 'in bed' with the Right Wing? Well the answer is quite simple as I see it. Sen. Lieberman seems to care less about the U.S. economy, U.S. student loan problems, U.S. environmental issues, and even the loss of U.S. servicemen fighting in 3rd world countries than he does about a secure future for his beloved Israel. He wanted Saddam Hussein gone? So he partnered with the 'Texas Right' group of Bush, Cheney, Wolferwitz, and Crystal to invade Iraq! Now he wants Iran dealt with? So he's jumping into bed with Romney, Rubio, and whoever else might be willing to send American kids to die for the interests of Tel Aviv! It really is a disgrace, and I question Lieberman's priorities & his motivations.

By the way Joe, I thought you were retiring. Why all of a sudden this strong impulse to help throw out Obama? Might it be because the President is standing up to the Israeli pressure groups, and their American surrogates? Might it be because Obama is unwilling to bomb Tehran for Netanyatu? Might it be because finally we have a U.S. commander and chief who is unafraid of pushing Israel to do the right and moral thing; namely to agree to a 2 state solution with an independent and contiguous Palestine? Is that your problem with President Obama, Joe?

I can only hope that the support of Lieberman and his fund-raising buddies for this Romney campaign is not being negotiated at too great a price for my America! I can only hope that Joe's 'kind' assistance in ousting Obama is not being 'purchased' with a guarantee by Romney's puppeteers to "take out" Iran once Romney is seated in the White House! It remains true enough that 'politics makes for strange bed-fellows'! But this is ridiculous. Think about it! A liberally raised Jewish kid from the Northeast ends up 'in bed' with a right-wing Texas consortium of hawkish, ultra-conservative military-industrial business guys? Did they meet at the opera on the Yale campus? Did Joe and George W. play basketball together in high school? They sure didn't meet at Joe's synagogue in Hartford! What possibly could be the common ground? They would tell you that the common ground is patriotism, pure and simple. But I'm Jewish so I can say this! I HOPE the common ground IS purely the interest of my beloved America, and I pray that what is best for Israel is NOWHERE in the 'formula' being hammered out by these 'good-old boys' in a back room somewhere!

Shame on you Joe Lieberman! Your daddy would not be proud!

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
It's always interesting to watch the action in the stock market on the day before an important piece of potentially market-moving news comes out. It would have been logical for stocks to tread water today in anticipation of tomorrow morning's employment report, which investors will look at closely to try to figure out how the Federal Reserve is likely to respond in managing its ongoing stimulus efforts. But, after some early jitters, stocks actually performed quite well today, as the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) rose 80 points, and climbed back above the 15,000 level. The broader market was up even more sharply, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) gaining 0.85%.
Some stocks didn't manage to recover from early losses, however. Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) finished the day down 0.8%, extending its losses over the past few days. Given crude oil's price gain of nearly $1 per barrel today, most of Chevron's energy-company peers managed to post at least modest rebounds today, even though the sector has underperformed the broader market throughout the rally of the past six months. Investors might be concerned that the unfreezing of the company's assets in Argentina might lead Chevron to make greater investment in the country, potentially exposing it to future nationalizations of assets that could end up costing Chevron even more in lost assets. Avoiding political risk will be key for the company as it navigates various world energy markets.
Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) lost half a percent, even as gold and silver prices posted modest gains. Caterpillar finds itself in a difficult position, as low metals prices will likely force many of its mining-company clients to delay or downsize purchases of capital equipment. Ordinarily, cyclical economic improvement would bode well for the company, but to the extent that improving conditions lead to less monetary accommodation from central banks, prices of metals could fall further, and jeopardize that part of Caterpillar's business, even if construction and infrastructure activity pick up. That will be a difficult line for the company to walk in the year ahead.
Finally, outside the Dow, VeriFone Systems (NYSE: PAY ) plunged more than 20% after missing earnings expectations, and issuing poor guidance for the current quarter. Given the huge potential that the company has in expanding into mobile payment systems, VeriFone has thus far failed to deliver on its promise, and investors clearly don't believe that the company's turnaround efforts are likely to succeed amid huge amounts of competition in the space.
Caterpillar leads its industry in market share, but despite its competitive advantages, poor conditions throughout the industry have hurt the stock lately. Read all about Caterpillar's strengths and weaknesses in The Motley Fool's brand new report. Just click here to access it now.

Thank you for joining us today. Let me begin by thanking Ambassador al- Salem, Secretary General Bishara and our other Kuwaiti colleagues for their cooperation and partnership on nuclear safeguards and security.
It is clear that both of our countries recognize the importance of preventing nuclear proliferation, and keeping dangerous nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists and proliferators.
This agreement is an important milestone further underscoring the commitment of the United States and Kuwait to address the global challenges of nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards and security.
Understanding, developing and implementing proper nuclear safeguards is an important part of any successful nuclear energy program, and this agreement helps strengthen nonproliferation efforts around the world.
We thank Secretary General Bishara and his colleagues at the Kuwait National Nuclear Energy Committee for the hard work and productive dialogue that brought us to this point, and we look forward to collaborating with Kuwait on these topics soon.
As President Obama said last April in Prague, the danger of a terrorist acquiring nuclear weapons is "the most immediate and extreme threat to global security." The Memorandum of Cooperation we are signing here today is a demonstration of the commitment of our two nations to work together to prevent this nightmarish scenario from ever becoming reality.
Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Russia, Georgia and the Czech Republic to see some of our nuclear nonproliferation programs in action. Each of those countries is a strong partner with the United States. We cooperate with each of them on a full range of areas. That partnership has produced tremendous results that are helping keep each of our countries safe.
This is important because nuclear security is a truly global mission. It will require effort from all countries working together to prevent proliferation. I believe this memorandum of cooperation will be the basis of strong U.S. cooperation with Kuwait.
For NNSA, the work envisioned under this Memorandum of Cooperation will be implemented by our International Nuclear Safeguards and Engagement Program (INSEP). INSEP is a key component of NNSA's Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI), a robust, multi-year program to develop the policies, concepts, technologies, expertise, and international infrastructure necessary to strengthen and sustain the international safeguards system.
Through INSEP, we cooperate with international partners to strengthen nuclear safeguards by improving nuclear material accountancy and control and promoting safe, secure and sustainable nuclear infrastructure necessary for peaceful nuclear power programs.
As more countries look to nuclear power to meet their energy demands, this mission will continue to grow more important.
Under this agreement, our INSEP program will work with KNNEC to help:
Establish the laws and regulations to govern a safe, secure, and peaceful nuclear energy program;
Maintain effective implementation of the IAEA Small Quantities Protocol and Additional Protocol;
Establish a State System for Accounting and Control of nuclear material; and
Develop the human capital and best practices necessary to operate and regulate nuclear power plants.
Now that we are signing the agreement, our technical subject-matter experts will develop a roadmap of cooperation jointly with KNNEC. The planned activities in the roadmap will be tailored to Kuwait's unique needs.
Thank you again for helping us expand our partnership and we look forward to working with you and your colleagues to make each of our countries safer.

Olympic Peninsula Bed & Breakfast
Olympic Peninsula Bed & Breakfast
The Olympic Peninsula is the large arm of land in western Washington state of the USA, that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal. Cape Alava, the westernmost point in the contiguous United States, and Cape Flattery, the north-westernmost point, are on the peninsula.
The Olympic Peninsula is home to temperate rain forests, including the Hoh, Queets and Quinault. Rain forest vegetation is concentrated primarily in the western part of the peninsula, as the interior mountains create a rain shadow effect in areas to the east, resulting in a much drier climate in those locales.
The Olympic mountain range sits in the center of the Olympic Peninsula. This range is the second largest in Washington State. Its highest peak is Mt. Olympus.

I'm trying to install VS 2010 for my programming class
VS2010 installtion becomes stagnant on microsoft .net framework 4 installation
.. so i googled and read forums and found that you need to uninstall the past versions of the .net framework... then
I tried manually downloading and installing the .net framework 4 but it still fails
I read forums and tried the latest cleanup tool, but also failed...
I tried going to regedt32 and deleted the .net framework folder but also failed.
here is the installation LOG
Answer 1
First, your research indicating that " found that you need to uninstall the past versions of the .net framework." is simply not true, and even dangerous in your case. You have Windows 7, which installed .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 plus service packs *as part of
the OS installation*. If you attempted to remove these, you may have damaged Win 7. That may be causing your problems with .NET 4.0.
When you say you used "the latest cleanup tool", do you mean this one from Aaron Stebner?
You should have used it to remove v4.0 only.
In your situation, I would consider reinstalling Win 7 (assuming you really did attempt to remove earlier frameworks), then installing VS 2010.
Answer 2
Hi edmamerto,
Thank you for your post.
Appreciate for pvdg42's suggestions. Please check his suggestion and check whether .NET Framework is installed correctly on your machine or not. Please download .NET Framework Verification Tool from the following link:
Based on the error message, .NET Framework installation was blocked when it tried to upgrade Windows6.1-KB958488-v6001-x86.msu via Windows Update with the error code "0x00000424".
Wusa.exe is Windows Update Stand-alone Installer in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008. So your problem could be caused by Windows Update.
For more information of Wusa.exe, see:
Please make sure that Windows Update has been turned on. If not, please turn on it, install the latest updates from the Windows Update Site and try to reinstall .Net Framework 4.0 again.
If the problem still exists, you could try the following steps for further troubleshooting.
- Try to clean your "%temp%" folder (Start Menu >> Run >> Type "%temp%")
- Install VS2010
(The installer must be run with administrator privileges - Right-click the installer >> "Run as Administrator")
- Collect the logs from "%temp%" folder

WASHINGTON — If businesses get an extra year to meet a new health care mandate, why not everybody else?
Republicans, seizing on the White House delay for employers, are demanding that the Obama administration give individual Americans an equal break. But the White House says that's just a thinly disguised gambit for dismantling the entire health care overhaul.
What to believe?
"If businesses can get relief from Obamacare, the rest of America ought to be able to get relief as well," declares House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
"A delay in the individual mandate is repeal by another name," responds White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri. It's a political attempt to sabotage health care for the uninsured.
The battle of the mandates is the latest clash in the long-running political fight over health care — a fight that's far from over.
Under President Barack Obama's big overhaul, most people will be required to have insurance starting next Jan. 1, and larger businesses were supposed to offer affordable health care to their employees who average 30 hours of work a week.
Here are some questions and answers in the aftermath of the administration's sudden delay of the employer mandate:
So what are the law's mandates?
One is for individuals and another for employers. The individual requirement takes effect in 2014; the employer mandate has been delayed until 2015.
Under the health care law, virtually all Americans must carry medical insurance, either through an employer or a government program, or by buying their own policies. Most people are unaffected because they already have coverage.
If you don't have it, how do you get it?
Middle-class individuals and families with no access to job-based health insurance will be able to buy subsidized private coverage through new markets that open Oct. 1. Low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it.
Those who remain uninsured will face fines that start small — as little as $95 in 2014 — but build up over time. There are exceptions for financial hardship and other circumstances.
And what about businesses?
The employer mandate applies to companies with 50 or more workers. They could face fines for not providing coverage, and also if their plan is deemed unaffordable under the law.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 95 percent of employers with 50 or more workers already offer health benefits. Nonetheless, it's a big issue for small businesses that are growing, and for companies that employ lots of low-wage workers not currently offered health insurance.
If the administration delays one mandate, why not the other?
Actually, the two mandates are in the law for different reasons and purposes. Delaying the individual requirement, which has survived a Supreme Court challenge, would have a much bigger impact.
It serves as a stiff nudge to get as many Americans as possible into the insurance pool. The premiums of healthy people are needed to offset the cost of covering people in poor health who currently can be excluded by insurers.
Starting Jan. 1, insurers are barred from turning away people in poor health.
The employer mandate was designed as a guard rail, to deter employers from dropping coverage and shifting workers to taxpayer-subsidized programs. It's expected to play only a supporting role in the expansion of coverage to uninsured people.

Noise Auction crashed into the Columbus scene in the spring of 2008. Five musicians desiring to be heard above the white noise of an already established scene.
They put their talents and dreams onto the auction block of the world. All five already seasoned, on stage and in the studio, they started writing with no real format in mind.
What came out was an intense, fresh blend of hard rock. Proud of being a rock band while others followed trends, NA has become a powerhouse on stage.
With the music written they plotted the image, and show and set to work on bringing their sound to the Ohio Valley and beyond.
NA opens for every major act they can, including: Sevendust, Cold, 10 yrs, Soil, Orgy, Godhead, System of A Down, Dry Kill logic, Rev Theory, Mars Volta, Magni Fi,
Flaw, Five Bolt Main, NonPoint, Bobaflex, HedPe, Hinder, and others. While shopping, touring and promoting NA has been gathering material through all of their past
experiences, professional and personal, to gear up for their latest EP released in the summer of 2011. Produced and engineered by Brett Hetla formerly of Dark New Day.
Noise Auction is out to set some new precidents for themselves visually and musically, with a much more "mature" rock sound. Noise Auction is currently working on an 10 song release at
Sonic Lounge Studios in Grove City, OH with engineer Joe Viers. Its scheduled to hit shelves late 2012. Noise Auction was selected to represent Columbus in May of 2010
and 2012 on the massive festival "Rock on The Range" held in the heart of Columbus, OH. Noise Auction is the only Columbus band to play the event twice.
With the new release and the massive exposure they have received from press and touring, NA is working on creating the buzz they need to get them recognized as a forerunner in today's market.

All smokers should receive the pneumococcal vaccine, advisors to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended in October. It is the first time smokers have ever been targeted for vaccination.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that all smokers aged 19 years through 64 years be vaccinated with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Additionally, the panel urged that physicians offer cessation therapies along with the vaccine. Typically, the CDC follows the committee's recommendations.

I AM already sick of the election. It feels as if it began the moment the last one ended, five years ago. That may be because living under a government run by Jacob Zuma makes time slow down. But it may also be just because the cheating that surrounded his slipping away from the justice system and being made president raised the questions we've been fighting about ever since.
Not many days after May 7, we will know everything, finally. That's very soon. For the record I have made, in writing, the following wagers — that the African National Congress (ANC) will get 58% of the vote and the Democratic Alliance (DA) 22%. In another bet, I've said Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will win 28 seats in Parliament.
Now I think about it, that's quite a lot. Truth is I haven't a clue and neither does anyone else. I'm told the DA has the most stunningly accurate polling system, and that it updates every day. So they at least will know where to concentrate their efforts.
Last I heard, DA polling had the party at 25% nationally, over 40% in Gauteng, and the EFF at 11% nationally. But that'll change as the ANC turns its baleful eye on the enemy and cranks up its considerable machine.
When it does, all bets are off and what matters most is that the fragmented but colourful set of opposition parties get their votes out. The point, as Steven Friedman so eloquently explained on these pages last week, isn't that the DA-Agang SA merger didn't work, but that in our electoral system, every fragment of opposition is in its own separate way a danger to ANC hegemony. If you merge, you remove choice for people who actively want to vote for this or that party as a way of telling the ANC they are fed up.
Whether or not the ANC is listening is another question. But you have to walk in the party's shoes too. Imagine trying to hold a country like this together? And then, just when you need him, the president doesn't pitch up, retiring instead for the weekend to Nkandla, the People's Palace. Rumour is that he isn't well, or is fatigued. Another that he is trying to help his son Duduzane escape a culpable homicide rap for driving into a taxi in his Porsche recently, killing a woman.
We go into this election with an ANC utterly divided over policy. I was mesmerised by an interview in the Sunday Times yesterday with Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba, in which he sets himself, pretty much forever, as a defiant believer in the proposition that South African Airways can sustain itself if the government would only manage it closely and well enough. Unbelievable.
Philosophically, he would be prepared to spend just about any amount of money to make it so. It doesn't have to be profitable, apparently, just sustainable. (A first-year economics essay question would be "You do not have to be profitable to be sustainable — Discuss"). I like him, but one day a poor man is going to ask him why money that should be building him a home and paying for his daughter to go to a decent school is being spent on an airline neither he nor she will ever fly on.
I say the ANC is divided because thinking like this (in public in the biggest newspaper in the land) is utterly at odds with the National Development Plan, which the ANC says is its economic policy leitmotiv. It's been the story of the Zuma presidency. While he looks after himself, his ministers have done pretty well whatever they fancy.
The result? Much higher unemployment, administrative costs (the things the government controls like electricity, petrol, phone charges) heading for outer space, the rand collapsing, mining output crumbling as we have missed not one but two commodity super-cycles, rapidly rising food prices and increasingly violent service delivery protests all around the country.
I am not one of those ANC critics who want to see it run out of office. We are not ready for that. It has a legitimacy that no other party can match and I suspect it will be in government well past 2029, though in coalition. But it needs a wake-up.
I really hope Zweli Vavi and the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa form a left-wing political party after this election. The country needs a clear leftist alternative, and for the moment many people are being fooled into thinking that the EFF is just that, but it isn't. They're extreme nationalists, cloaking themselves in long-discredited ideological gobbledygook. In my book, they're on the right of the ANC. The last group of people to try this approach were the Pan Africanist Congress, and look what has happened to them.
My 22% national vote bet for the DA is as far as I can go. Not because of Agang, but because it is a huge leap from the 16% of 2009. I keep hearing they are targeting 30%. Surely not?
I am, meanwhile, most interested in Mmusi Maimane, the Gauteng premier candidate for the DA. He has been quietly ploughing his own field around Johannesburg to excellent effect and ignoring, in public at least, the games with Agang. If the party can score above 40% in the economic heartland of SA then Helen Zille will have found the authentic (home-grown) black DA leader she seems to crave. If I were the DA I would plaster the province with his picture and put it on the presidential ballot too. He won't beat JZ, but the experience would be priceless.

Project Brief
Open Competition 3 - Electronics and Photonics
Spintronics-Based High-Resolution, Non-Invasive, and Ultrafast Metrology for the Semiconductor Industry
Develop a nanoscale magnetic tunnel junction current-sensing system for integrated circuit inspection that will help maintain the U.S. lead in semiconductors by providing vastly improved metrology for in-process inspection.
Sponsor: Micro Magnetics, Inc.151 Martine St.
Fall River, MA 02723
New manufacturing processes for making semiconductor chips smaller and smaller have introduced new types of nanoscale faults that are buried in the ever-more-complex architectures of electronic integrated circuits (ICs). Before long, the most advanced technologies for fault isolation and failure analysis may be unable to cope adequately with new nanoscale IC features. Prior to ATP, Micro Magnetics had developed both a basic magnetic microscope for profiling current densities in ICs and its sensing element, a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). This sensor is based on spintronics, the discipline that exploits the spin properties of the electron to develop a new generation of electronic devices. Micro Magnetics now proposes to develop an advanced system employing a magnetic microscope that exploits spintronics to detect and analyze nanoscale faults and abnormalities embedded in multilayered ICs in this three-year project. The system has three key modules: the motion hardware, the magnetic sensor and electronics, and the control and analysis software. At the heart of this technology is an array of ultrasensitive MTJ sensors that detect the microscopic magnetic fields emitted by an operating IC, which are then used to generate an image of the density and layout of the electrical currents within the IC. Using this scanning MTJ microscope, engineers can noninvasively pinpoint defects down to the smallest units, such as transistors and copper interconnects. The goal of this three-year project is to produce a fully integrated, ultrafast IC metrology system. Fabricating spintronic sensors with a spatial resolution of 20 nanometers and frequency responses of 0-6 GHz entails high risk. Developing a system that can scan ICs at production-line speed is another high risk. Venture-capital firms and private investors consider this project too risky at this stage to merit funding. ATP funding could accelerate the needed research by four years. For semiconductor manufacturers, annual savings from the improved yields attributable to the MTJ microscope system could exceed $1.5 billion. Additionally, this technology could remove a looming impediment to the growth and competitiveness of the $70 billion U.S. semiconductor industry by enabling chip miniaturization to continue.

Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO)
The Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO) is a Zapotec indigenous organization, established in 1990 by 26 regional and community-based indigenous campesino organizations in Oaxaca's Juarez Mountains.

MARTINSBURG - Jurors heard opening statements Wednesday in the trial of a Bunker Hill couple indicted nearly three years ago for allegedly abusing five children under their care.
Nathan A. Snyder, 29, of Nereid Lane, was indicted in February 2010 by a Berkeley County grand jury on 13 counts of child abuse causing bodily injury, while 43-year-old Christina A. Snyder, also of Nereid Lane, was indicted on five counts of child abuse causing bodily injury.
The alleged victims include a 5-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys.
Jurors will also will hear testimony from another sibling, now an adult, who alleges she was raped by Nathan Snyder and his friends when she was 13 while living in Hampshire County.
One of the alleged victims, now 16, took the stand Wednesday. The juvenile boy, who was 12 when the abuse was reported, testified the defendants kept food locked away from the children and said he was beaten with metal and wooden spoons, whipped with a riding crop, punched, shot with BB guns and bottle rockets, held down and forced to drink beer and smoke cigarettes, burned with cigarettes, forced to fight one his of brothers for the defendants' amusement.
He also said the children routinely were forced to run laps around their house barefoot on gravel and said that he was also forced to go to other homes to beg for beer and cigarettes for the defendants.
He described the abuse as "ridiculous" and "blatant."
"They always called us their meal ticket," he said of the accused, who relied on Department of Health and Human Resources benefits.
He said the children didn't report the abuse to Child Protective Services because they were fearful of more abuse. He said his sister was beaten by the defendants after trying to report the abuse to authorities.
"I was scared that if I told anybody that it would just happen again," he said.
Nathan Snyder is not the biological father of the majority of the alleged victims. The father of four of the alleged victims in the case was serving a prison sentence when Christina Snyder met Nathan Snyder, became pregnant and married him.
Pamela Games-Neely, Berkeley County prosecuting attorney, said what would ensue was years of abuse at the hands of the defendants until the children came forward and reported the abuse to their father, who had since been released from jail. An investigation began after one of the children, then 8, was taken to the hospital after complaining of an injury to her side and told doctors Nathan Snyder struck her.
The counts against Nathan Snyder allege he punched two of the children, burned three of them with cigarettes, choked two of them, beat two with a metal spoon, shot two with BB guns, shot one child with a bottle rocket and hit another in the eye with a bat.
The charges against Christina Snyder allege she burned two of the children with cigarettes, shot two of them with a BB gun and and punched one in the stomach.
Nathan Snyder is represented by local attorney Thomas Stanley, while Christina Snyder is represented by Christopher Prezioso.
Both defense attorneys say the only evidence in the case is the accusations made by the alleged victims, and they say the state has no physical evidence to corroborate their stories.
Stanley told jurors the allegations of abuse were all part of a scheme by Christina Snyder's former husband and his new wife, who worked for the Department to of Health and Human Resources, to frame his client and to gain custody of the children. He alleged the children were coached regarding the accusations they made to authorities.
He told jurors that they will see a letter written by the children's biological father threatening to call social services on Nathan Snyder, as well as a threat that the accused would have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life.
"This is what this case is all about," Stanley said. "It's payback."
Stanley told jurors that a separate child abuse investigation was conducted in 2008 in Hampshire County, but the prosecutor there declined to press charges against the defendants citing lack of evidence. He alleged the breaking point for the children's biological father came in April 2009 when Christina Snyder sought an increase in child support payments of $700 a month.
He accused authorities of failing to properly investigate the case and said the sum total of the state's case is based on five statements obtained from the alleged victims.
"There's absolutely no corroboration of anything these kids are going to say," Stanley said.
Prezioso echoed Stanley's arguments, reminding jurors that his client is also only accused of five acts of child abuse and that she should be considered a separate defendant.
"These are allegations that my client strongly disputes," Prezioso said.
Prezioso said he anticipates the only evidence the jury will hear will be testimony from the state's witnesses.
"They don't have the evidence in this case," Prezioso said. "You have the power to hold the state to its burden. You have the power to acquit my client if the state doesn't meet its burden."

DIM, missing 5 defenders
DIM team doctor José Fernando Arango ruled out the possibility that the number of injured players on the team has anything to do with their workload and said it's simply a "stroke of bad luck". Although disappointed to have six players, five of them defenders, out for Thursday's game against Envigado, it is possible that Andres Felipe Ortiz will be back by then, possibly Samuel Vanegas as well.
On their part, Envigado said their lineup is normal as they'll only have one player sitting out on Thursday, and another two injured last Sunday should be back in the game by then.

Catherine Peters was nervous about heights.
But on March 7 she set out to overcome her fear by jumping off the Ballance Bridge in Manawatu.
It was the first event of the year for the Massey University Alpine Club, an event that had been running for nine years under the supervision of Alastair McWhannell's Crag Adventures.
Catherine had moved from Christchurch to Palmerston North just two weeks earlier to study veterinary science at Massey. By all accounts she was having a great time settling into university life and according to her Flickr page, had just had her first clubbing experience, which was "awesome fun".
"Not going to become a regular thing though ... It's rather expensive and I need to study," she posted on March 1.
Six days later, Catherine took her place in line with about 100 other students to make their first jump from the bridge. About 80 students had jumped before tragedy struck.
As the 18-year-old attempted her second jump, something went wrong with the rope attached to her harness. She plunged 22m to the shingle on the riverbed and was rushed to Palmerston North Hospital with critical injuries to her head, chest and abdomen.
She had a skull fracture and underwent surgery to remove her spleen in a bid to save her life. But she died in the intensive care unit at 8.20pm.
Eleven days later McWhannell was charged with manslaughter. Last week, the 47-year-old director of Crag Adventures was committed for trial in the High Court at Palmerston North after pleading not guilty to the charge.
The plea came after three days of depositions, where those who witnessed Catherine's fatal jump and the panicked moments that followed, gave evidence before Justices of the Peace George Hills and Robert Campbell.
Police allege McWhannell was distracted after the previous jump and failed to check Catherine's rope. Crown prosecutor Alastair Hall told the court the rope length was longer than the distance to the ground and McWhannell failed to tie it off at the top of the bridge.
He said McWhannell was solely responsible for the day's activities, despite having assistance from volunteers.
Eleven witnesses recounted harrowing details of Catherine's failed jump in front of McWhannell, his wife Jenni, supporters of both families, police, lawyers and media.
McWhannell and his family remained calm throughout the hearing, although at several points Jenni hung her head, flanked by two women who were visibly concerned for her.
Catherine's parents and brother Jonathan, 16, were not at the hearing and are not ready to speak publicly about her death or the court case.
However, a North Island-based family member sat through the evidence and looked relieved as McWhannell was committed for trial.
On Wednesday the court heard activities at the bridge on March 7 began as normal. McWhannell had been running the MUAC bridge swing day for about nine years. He was, and still appears to be, highly regarded by club members.
Witnesses said McWhannell gave some briefings on safety, how to correctly fit chest and waist harnesses and traffic safety. It was understood by all those assisting him on the day that he was responsible for checking each jumper's harness and ropes before they plunged off the bridge.
Jumpers had numbers written on the back of their hands and leapt off the bridge in order. Catherine, described by friends as "vibrant, adventurous and willing to give anything a go", was the 67th to jump, fellow club member Lea Stuart told the court.
"She said she was nervous about heights but she had joined the club to prove [a point] to her parents ... she wanted pictures to send her parents," she said.
"I watched her first jump. She did a handstand. I had her camera and I took some photos. After the jump she was very excited and wanted to do another."
Instead of jumping from the platform Catherine wanted to try a "mafia drop" where jumpers are thrown off the bridge as if they were a body being disposed of by gangsters.
MUAC president Jackson Wong told the court he clipped Catherine's harness to the rope.
"I called out for [McWhannell] to give me a hand to lift Catherine as we needed three people to throw her off ... I held her ankles, another guy held her head and Alastair came over and supported her middle. Alastair checked to make sure her harness was securely attached," he said.
"She was lying in our arms facing up ... We counted to three and threw her over the side of the bridge."
Stuart took photos of the moment the men threw Catherine.
"Just after the photo was taken there was a thud. I looked over and she was just lying there and not moving."
Wong said it was obvious at the time that the rope "never fully tightened".
"She never swung and then she impacted on the ground. I freaked out with shock."
Witness Julie Hamilton, who met McWhannell over the internet just weeks earlier, had come to the bridge for her first jump and was harnessed up, ready to jump straight after Catherine.
"She hit the ground as I stood up on the concrete to get on the rail. Alastair said 'shit' and ran to [a nearby] box, took something out and ran," she said.
"I saw the girl on the ground ... two people were calling 111."
Patrick Braune was in the area with his partner that day and filmed Catherine as she was lobbed over the bridge.
"I followed the girl's fall on my camera and was watching the jump through the small screen on the camera," he said.
"I watched as the girl fell straight down and hit the ground. As soon as she struck the ground I stopped my camera."
MUAC secretary Leith Williams, who has been a member for four years, was the first to reach Catherine.
"When Catherine went for her second jump I was on the bridge. I spoke to her briefly, she told me that she enjoyed the first jump so much that she wanted to do it again," she said.
"I was alerted to something going wrong when someone next to me gasped. I looked over the rail and saw Catherine on her back not moving."
Williams "took off"', running to where Catherine lay.
"She was twisted at the waist and her left leg was broken. She was still harnessed and the rope was still attached to her. I noticed that the rope was also slack ... I remember that the rope had an arch in it."
Williams took Catherine's pulse, which was strong and regular. She was unconscious, gasping and her eyes were open.
"I remember [McWhannell] saying 'I don't know what happened'," she said.
Stuart was the third person to reach the injured girl.
"I took my jacket off to keep her covered. I supported her neck ... she was making involuntary body movements ... I remained with her until she was moved to the ambulance."
Hamilton said she spoke to McWhannell soon after the accident.
"I asked [McWhannell] if he was all right. He said 'I'm f***ed ... I'm f***ed ... I don't know what went wrong'."
Dianna Tippett, who had been assisting him on the bridge that day, told the court it was obvious something was wrong after Catherine's jump.
She said the way the ropes were "dangling" at the bottom of the jumping platform meant the swing had "not happened correctly".
After she left the scene McWhannell rang her cellphone.
"He said 'I f***ed up. I'm the one going for the skid. It's got nothing to do with you'," she said.
McWhannell told police, a Department of Labour inspector and Shane Briggs from Palmerston North's Rescue Emergency Support Team that he could not recall tying off the rope before Catherine's jump.
In a written statement Briggs said McWhannell went through the entire swing procedure including how it operated on a successful jump.
He told Briggs, who has a number of certificates and qualifications relating to rope work, that when done correctly the rope was attached to the top rail and vertical posts and runs through the rigging.
After each jump McWhannell is supposed to reset the rope to specific markers and tie it off to the top rail of the bridge. The rope is then attached to the jumper's harness, McWhannell checks that they are connected correctly and then they jump.
However, Briggs said when he arrived at the scene the rope was "not operational".
He said when the rope was operational there would be a 5 to 8m "tail" of rope remaining on the footpath beside the rail. But there was only about one metre of tail that day.
"On my arrival it was obvious that the rope at the end of the bridge was not tied off," he said.
Briggs asked McWhannell if he tied the rope off or checked the ropes.
McWhannell said he could not recall.
He told Briggs he had seen and heard Catherine hit the ground.
During the hearing lawyers for the Crown and McWhannell questioned witnesses about safety procedures on the bridge, the systems in place on the day of the tragedy, communication between McWhannell and those assisting him and what they saw in the moments before the fatal jump.
The general picture was that the jumps were organised well but not "militantly" and McWhannell was making adequate checks.
However, most witnesses could not be 100 per cent certain about what McWhannell did and did not do with Catherine's rope, what checks he made and whom he communicated with in the final seconds before she was thrown.
One person was certain though; in Braune's written evidence he reviewed footage of other jumps he had filmed that day.
"I could see clearly how the rope was set up when it was tied off properly.
"I could clearly see the knot. I am now sure in my own mind after looking at that video that when I looked at the anchor two seconds after the fatal fall there was no knot. I can recall seeing the loose ends of the rope."
McWhannell was asked at the depositions hearing if he wanted to enter a guilty plea. He emphatically pleaded "not guilty". The public gallery remained quiet as he was remanded on bail until October.
It was only as he left court, surrounded by his supporters, that McWhannell cracked a relieved smile, shook hands with his defence team and walked to his car.

Every time I'm in town, I always check to see if he's at his usual spot.
Today I had an organic smoked salmon with ricotta crepe for lunch, followed by a banana with maple syrup crepe for dessert.
It was heavenly, so I told him that I'd see him tomorrow.
And last night at around 2am I dug out an old, cheapy cardigan from my wardrobe, brought out a handful of studs bought online from mexico, and went at it.
I think I'll be doing ALOT more studding in the next few months. Gotta find some way of using up the 300 studs I have left lying around. fun, fun, fun!
Anyway, tomorrow my bike returns from the shop, all geared up and ready to go. I've yet to name her though, and I HAVE to name her before taking her out for her first spin. All name suggestions are welcome :) She's gonna be the hottest bike around since I've already bought her a rattan basket and a little bell proclaiming my affection for her with the words "I love my bike" on it.
pictures when she's all made up :)

Rumor sweeping Florida spring training: These are not the Yankees. They are imposters. Pod people. The real Yankees have been kidnapped and are on their way to Jupiter.
Evidence: Like they say in the movies, it's too quiet. Each spring the Yankees lead the league in soap opera and locker-room turmoil. This year—with Boss Steinbrenner lying low—everyone in camp is laughing, smiling, kissy-face. The sportswriters are deeply depressed.
Especially about the Dale Berra trade. For a while there, it looked like a virtual Berragate. Briefly: The Yanks—who are managed by Yogi Berra, 58—obtained Yogi's infielder son, Dale, 28, from the Pirates this winter. (The Berras' père-et-fils act is the first in the big leagues since 1914, when Connie Mack managed his boy Earle.) Immediately fans of the pinstriped version of All My Children licked their lips. Visions of a nepotism-riven clubhouse danced in their heads.
What they got was the Stepford Yankees. "If he does the job, he plays. If not, he sits," shrugs the imperturbable Yog. "We believe Yogi," says Don Baylor, Yankee designated hitter. "If the kid earns it, he'll play." (Not every day, though. Dale, who hit .222 with 52 RBIs last year, will platoon at third.)
Desperate for our annual fix of Yankee controversy, we travel down to Florida to confront Dale. Does he think he'll choke under the pressure of playing in New York? The 6-foot, 192-pound infielder just smiles, staring at the Me-He-for-Yoo-Hoo sign (his dad's endorsement) in right center. "I'm elated; it's a dream come true," he says, giving 110 percent in the cliché department like the great athletic interview he is. "This is the first time my dad has seen me play on the pro level."
Yogi calls Dale an "adequate" infielder. Well, maybe if you happen to be boxer Roberto Duran, whose nickname is "Hands of Stone." Playing out of position at short last year—the scouts think he's a natural third baseman—Dale committed a league-leading 30 errors. Is he bitter, we wonder innocently, at the fans who savagely booed his defensive lapses last year? Nah, the kid understands. A lifelong Giants football fan, he admits, "I boo as much as anyone when Phil Simms throws four interceptions."
Dale and his wife, Leigh, live five minutes from Yogi and his wife, Carmen, in Glen Ridge, N.J. The kid grew up in the leafy suburb of Montclair, N.J. with brothers Larry, now 34 and an ex-Mets prospect, and Tim, 32, a former NFL wide receiver. Psychologically Dale came of age in the Yankee clubhouse of the early '60s, as Yogi's Hall of Fame career wound down. "I remember wandering around the locker room," says Dale. "I'd see Mickey Mantle shaving, Tony Kubek getting dressed..." He was awed and deeply influenced by what he saw—the camaraderie, the needling, even the inane pranks. "I decided that was the kind of life I wanted to lead," he says. "The ballplayers were grown men, and at the same time they were kids. They were young at heart." But this is a search for controversy, not lyricism. So when Yogi found out Dale wanted to play ball, he made him practice till his hands were bloody, right? "Dad could care less," says Dale. "I'd ask him to play catch and he'd say to me, 'You got brothers, go play with them.' " The insensitive, unnurturing macho brute. Now we're getting somewhere.
Over in the manager's office, Yogi chews a plug of Red Man and spits daintily into a Styrofoam cup. It's unfair to compare father and son—so let's: Dale is a solid major-leaguer. Yogi was one of the all-time greats. In his 18-year career with the Yankees, he won the Most Valuable Player award three times and played in 15 All-Star games. An eighth-grade graduate, Yogi was a "natural" with a flair for lunatic self-expression. "How can you hit and think at the same time?" is one of the more famous Berra-isms. Also: "No one goes there anymore. It's too crowded." While Dale may not be the hitter his father was, he occasionally rises to his level as a linguist. "Our similarities," he once said, with perfect Berra-istic accuracy, "are different."
We ask if it's true Yogi fobbed off poor Dale on his brothers. Turns out it's a family tradition. "That's how I learned baseball," he says. "From my three brothers." Suddenly Yogi is back in Depression-era St. Louis, in the area then known as Dago Hill. "My dad was an immigrant who wanted me to get a paycheck," he says. "But my older brothers pleaded for me: 'Pop, we're all working. Give him a chance to play.' " Berra shakes his head, spits. Were it not for the deferred dreams of his brothers, his son might not be living his dream come true. Berra snaps back to the present. "Yeah," he says, "I'm excited I finally get to see my son play."
We'll see. Baylor remembers what then-Minnesota manager Gene Mauch would say about his shortstop nephew, Roy Smalley: "When he's hitting, he's my nephew; when he's not, he's my sister's kid."
Note to Editor: Would like to do a story about the mysterious disappearance of the real Yankees—the ones who fight and bicker. However, once the winning and losing start in earnest, we feel they will rematerialize. Especially if Detroit jumps out to a 10-game lead. Again.
As a Rare Father-Son Team, the Berras—Yogi and Dale—Manage to Play Their Roles

A New Jersey judge says the Methodist Church violated a state law in refusing to allow a same-sex ceremony on its property in 2007.
On Thursday, Administrative Law Judge Solomon Metzger said the decision made by the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association violated New Jersey's discrimination laws.
Metzger ruled the pavilion area where the couple wanted to hold the ceremony is a public space and is advertised as a wedding venue without any religious pre-conditions.
The church argued that the pavilion was an extension of its wedding ministry, an argument that the judge rejected.
Jim Campbell, the attorney representing the church, says they may appeal the decision.
"The government should not be able to force a private Christian organization to use its property in a way that would violate its own religious beliefs," he said in a statement.
The plaintiffs in the case are not seeking monetary damages, and the judge did not impose any penalties when he made his ruling.

Iowa Summit to Confront Corporate Power
Friends Talk Occupy in Des Moines
What would William Penn think of today's Occupy movement? As Kathleen McQuillen, AFSC Iowa Program Coordinator, noted in a recent second-hour discussion with the Des Moines Valley Friends Meeting, Penn observed that the love of money is the root of all evil, which seems like a reasonable link with today's Occupiers. McQuillen added that the widening wealth gap in our country has created an extreme democracy gap; both are driving today's calls for change.
No war with Iran - rally and luncheon
Occupy Des Moines to march to statehouse
Occupy the courts rally, soapbox, and Raging Grannies concert
Panelists Address Civil Rights and Occupy
Occupy and the Church
People's Caucus set for December 27 in Des Moines
Kathleen McQuillen on Occupy Des Moines
What's the relationship between Occupy Des Moines and AFSC? How are nonviolence trainings, co-led by AFSC, affecting this new movement, and how might people of faith play a role in lifting up shared concerns about the vast disparity in wealth and political power in the U.S.? Are we witnessing the birth of a new form of participatory democracy?
In this December 20, 2011 interview with co-worker Jon Krieg, AFSC Iowa Program Coordinator Kathleen McQuillen shares her thoughts about the Occupy movement. She invites yours at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Space Vehicle Mockup Facility in Houston, Texas is the center
for manned spaceflight and headquarters for the International Space
Station Program. The audience will be given a LIVE tour of the International
Space Station trainers, Space Shuttle mockups, Underwater Neutral
Buoyancy Labs and Centrifuges. You will get inside the Living Quarters
where Astronauts will spend their work, play, rest and recreation
time aboard the ISS. Besides being the most advanced laboratory
for research and science, the International Space Station will be
a launching point to destinations across the solar system. For instance,
after sustaining autonomous space operations for 30 days explorers
will be able to leave the space station for a journey to the moon
and possibly set up a lunar outpost. After autonomous space station
operations for 3 years explorers will be able to journey to Mars.
Habitable, pressurized volume on the International Space Station
will be 43,000 cubic feet. That is about the volume of three average
American houses, each one containing about 2,000 square feet with
a 7 foot ceiling for a total of around 14,000 cubic feet. The pressurized
volume will be roughly equivalent to the interior of a 747 jumbo
jet. Learn what it is like to eat, sleep and work in a Microgravity
environment for sustained periods of time.
STS088-719-059 (6 DECEMBER 1998) --- Backdropped against
the darkness of space, the Russian-built FGB, also called Zarya,
approaches the out-of-frame Space Shuttle Endeavour and the U.S.-built
Node 1, also called Unity. Inside Endeavour's cabin, the STS-88
crew readied the remote manipulator system (RMS) for Zarya capture
as they awaited the rendezvous.
