Patrick Allocco, CEO of Allgood Entertainment, and his son were detained in Angola for 49 days after rapper Nas didn't show up for a series of 2012 New Year's Eve performances in Luanda, the country's capital.
A breach-of-contract lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court in December, Allocco's New York-based attorney, Bill Meeker, said.
Allocco was held in Angola on fraud charges when Nas and opening act Jeremiah Jai didn't show up for shows Allocco arranged.
Nas and Jai eventually returned the $300,000 an Angolan promoter paid the rapper through Allocco.
Meeker said he and Nas' lawyer, Jonathan Davis, were set to have an initial conference April 2, but the sides agreed to ask for an adjournment, which was granted.
The hearing requires Davis and Meeker to participate in a conference call with a judge, but the sides haven't been able nail down a new date, according to Meeker.
Davis has indicated he plans to ask the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, Meeker said. Davis couldn't be reached for comment.In February 2012, Nas told MTV.com Allocco didn't arrange for the the rapper's travel visa and return tickets, so he instead flew to Miami and performed at a party hosted by NBA star Lebron James.
"Basically, he was a promoter that I never worked with, and he wanted me to come to Africa for New Year's, which, for me, I thought, would be the best way to spend New Year's," Nas said to MTV.com. "The business wasn't handled. There was nothing sent to me, and there were no flights. By the time he did send money — he did eventually send money to me — but it was too late to go. I didn't even have a visa to get in the country. So that's canceled, the show's canceled."
As a result of the ordeal, Allocco said, his son, also named Patrick, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. But the father said his son has since recovered, and is expecting a baby.
In addition to the money he lost, Allocco said, he also still owed concert promoter Henrique "Riquhino" Miguel about $75,000 for profits lost due to Nas' no-show. He said he also owes the U.S. government money it loaned him to buy plane tickets out of Angola — tickets he wasn't permitted to use, and couldn't get refunded.

For most sellers, it's about to get more expensive to use Amazon's fulfillment service. Amazon is increasing the fees for the majority of products it fulfills on behalf of third-party sellers, and it's introducing a brand new fee for returns in certain categories.
Amazon.com notified third-party sellers on Tuesday of the fee increase coming in February, blaming it on the increasing cost of transportation. The online marketplace will also introduce a new "Returns Processing Fee" for customer-returned products in categories for which Amazon offers free return shipping.
Amazon is increasing the Weight Handling Fee, which will vary by product size tier, to better reflect transportation costs. At the same time, Amazon is introducing new product size tiers, resulting in six total: Small Standard-Size, Large Standard-Size, Small Oversize, Medium Oversize, Large Oversize, and Special Oversize.
There will also be some fee reductions, including many products that fit into the new "Small Oversize" and "Medium Oversize" categories. In addition, a change in the Pick & Pack Fee will result in a fee reduction for most Oversize products; and for large-screen televisions, Amazon is reducing the special handling fee.
Amazon said it was not changing fees for Multi-Channel Fulfillment fees, Zero-Fee Fulfillment, Inventory Storage Fees, or any optional service fees.
In its announcement about the new fees, Amazon provided sellers with a laundry list of improvements it has made over the past year, and cited Amazon Lockers and same-day shipping in select cities as product innovations, both of which have been getting a lot of mention in the press lately:
"In the past year, we have made it easier for customers to order and receive your products, including innovations such as Amazon Lockers and same-day shipping in select cities; and we have continued to grow the benefits and membership of Amazon Prime, which this year has surpassed FREE Super Saver Shipping in items shipped. We have also enhanced the FBA and Seller Central experience, through better access to your important business data on the Sales Dashboard and Payments reports; value-added services such as the FBA Label Service; and new ways to reach global customers with FBA Global Export."
The new Returns Processing Fee will apply to customer-returned products sold on Amazon.com in categories for which Amazon offers free return shipping, including the following categories: Apparel (including Sports Apparel); Watches; Jewelry; Shoes; and Luggage.
Amazon said offering free returns to customers in those categories helped to build customer trust and encourage purchase. "To better reflect our costs, when customers receive free return shipping on products in these categories, the seller will be charged a fee for each unit returned. This fee will be equivalent to the fulfillment fees for an individually shipped unit."
However, it said, in cases where Amazon takes responsibility for the loss or damage of a returned product (for example, lost or broken in transit), the fee will not be assessed.
Amazon's new FBA fees take effect on February 18, 2013. It will update the FBA Revenue Calculator in the coming days so sellers can view and compare estimated fulfillment costs under the current fee structure and the new fee structure.

Mid-October Press Roundup
October 23, 2011
An article on the Boston Society of Architects mentions us:
"Taking a guerrilla campaigning approach to urban farming, the group has tagged numerous abandoned lots with posters and contact numbers of local agencies in an effort to gain support for a local bill that would allow the city to turn the empty lots over to local residents for community farms. Although their goals may seem like a long shot to some, the idea of creating a network of microgrowing areas throughout the borough is a powerful suggestion of the potential and pragmatism that reprogramming empty lots represents."
Grist points to our collaboration with 350 for Insert ____ Here in an article about community responses to global warming in NYC.
Meanwhile, our friend Paula has been witnessing an occupation happening in Sao Paulo. We're excited to see that these worldwide protests for economic justice are also challenging our conceptions of urban space. One early response has been an interactive map for rating the publicly-owned private spaces in NYC that you work near (or plan on occupying).

Chariot racing could return to Rome
Many visitors to Rome hope to experience some of the ancient culture that has made the eternal city famous – however, few would expect to catch a full-blown chariot race.
But that"s exactly what could be on offer as the historical society Vadis Al Maximo hopes to stage a major chariot race event next year.
Speakung to ANSA, Vadis Al Maximo head, Franco Calo, explained: ""The event would last three days, starting on October 17, at the same period when the race took place in Roman times.
""If possible, we hope to involve charioteers from all over the world""
He said the society has plans to transform all the main squares of the capital into scenes from Ancient Rome, using props on loan from the Cinecitta film studios.
""According to our calculations, the Circus Maximus area could hold up to 35,000 people,"" he said.
In Roman times the course in the Circus Maximus could accommodate 12 chariots, each drawn by teams of four horses.
Rome – Visit some of the ancient landmarks such as the Colosseum or tour the opulent Vatican.

Paris Baguette
Paris Baguette is a popular Korean bakery chain that offers both French and Korean baked goods. The first San Diego location recently opened up inside the new H Mart which I visited during the grand opening.
I've previously only been to the Paris Baguette in Santa Clara, which is a stand-alone store. This one seemed quite a bit smaller by comparison and didn't offer as many goods. The majority of the bakery is the kitchen, which you can peer into through the clear glass. The actual baked goods display is quite small.
Upon entering the bakery section, you pick up a tray and some tongs and make your selection. They had donuts, croissants with various fillings, Koren breads, cakes and macarons.
I always see the donut varieties but feel strange spending so much on donuts at Paris Baguette. But I see a lot of people buying them so one of these days I need to try one. I bought a few slices of castella cake, sweet potato cake, chocolate croissant, mochi and a box of French macarons.
In the past I've tried the corn bread, green pea filled bread, and a few others. I like them, but I prefer the Taiwanese variations a little better.
I really enjoyed the Castella cake, which had hints of honey and just the right bouncy texture.
The chocolate croissant was also pretty good. It had a very flaky crust and was one of the better croissants we've had outside of France.
The mochi I didn't particularly enjoy. There is a slight saltiness to the mochi dough that I've noticed with Korean-style mochi that I don't really care for.
I was excited to try the French Macarons. I was a little disappointed. The shells crumbled easily and in fact, a few inside the sealed box were already broken. They were just average and with so many places selling macarons now, I'd rather get my French macarons elsewhere.
Overall, I'm happy to see Paris Baguette open a location in San Diego. I'll definitely be back next time I'm shopping at H Mart again.

next time you're there, get a blueberry chiffon cake if they have it. so freaking good!!!
I'd probably try a donut or two. One of the best cake donuts I've ever had came from one of the "french" bakeries we saw in Seoul. Of course, it was less donut and more buttery-cakey-round-baked-good, but it was still delicious!
Great photos of the display cases! You chose a lot of items I still want to try, especially the baguettes, which exist only in empty baskets with signage…
I still need to make it over here just to check this place out! Donuts sound tasty… and if everyone is gobbling them up, I'll need to try one, too. It's all for "science", so I won't feel too guilty.
I just went there for the first time last night! There was a potato croquette that intrigued me. Have you been to the Paris Baguette in Garden Grove? It's also a stand alone store that is right next to a HMART. It has a much better selection though pricey since 85 is only a 20 minute drive away.
My favorite things from Paris Baguette: chocolate croissant, raisin bun, and tapioca bun/ball. The Santa Clara location is awesome! Around noontime, they have all sorts of little sample bits out and it's such a great way to try out all the different buns without having to commit to an entire bun.
Hi, just saw Cathy's post as well! Now I really want to go here but I hate crowds so much! I'll have to wait it out…too bad those macarons weren't that good. That green pea bread sounds interesting. I've never heard of it before and I love Castella cake. Nice to see what's available there and that there will be another one coming.
What a neat little bakery!
Yum, I love castella cake too!

10 ways to bring down your property value "mandatory registration, most people want to live in a free society,Less government is in vogue. Mandatory registering 13,000 rentals is gonna be more administration & expensive, after it is done and taxes raised, What if we have the same problems? someone at city hall golfs with said landlord or they are afraid to cite because of a lawsuit. We have nuisance ordinance, 3 strikes rule, &code violations of 1,000$ a day. What happened to that law? Heard so much about during blighted review board days?

You cannot let a criminal offender free, with a fine that they will not pay anyway. You cannot put them all in jail. This does not cure the problem. You must provide a deterrent that will make the person, at least think twice, before committing the crime again. The punishment must be enough to discourage others from committing a crime-Steve Hertel
Sooo, What do you suggest as a deterrent? Cut a hand off for stealing? Public flogging? Caining?

American Studies Association Conference 2008
Call for Papers
Routes of U.S. Imperial Capital:
Intersections of Political Economy and Desire in the Transnational
More than a century of U.S. imperialism across the Pacific has
undoubtedly instigated, and relied upon, the transnational movement of peoples of the Pacific Islands and the Asian Pacific. American Studies literature that addresses the political economy and culture of U.S. imperialism has tended to trace such circuits of power back to the United States, to conclude that the deployment of imperial capital and culture abroad shaped the contours of the U.S. nation at home. This panel follows a different track. We investigate the convergences between local social structures and cultural practices of people of the Pacific Islands and the Asian Pacific, with the gender and racializing systems of U.S. imperialism. Based on ethnographic or historical anthropological work, our papers follow our respective informants' adaptations and transformations of U.S. power to locally-based systems of symbolic and practical significance. Collectively, we explore the ways in which Asians and Pacific Islanders engage the global economy and pursue local projects within a transnational framework. We understand the intersection of local social worlds with certain U.S. forms of imperialism as the meeting of U.S. and local political economies, the mobilization of fantasy in the service of U.S. capital and transnational labor, and the desires of Pacific and Asian Pacific
peoples' for social mobility and meaningful practice.
We therefore invite papers that consider the ways in which subjects
are differently marked, in terms of race, gender, class, sexuality, or status, within local and transnational political economic systems and social hierarchies; how fantasy, desire, or dreams intersect with politico-economic imperatives and/or inequalities; or papers that otherwise take into serious consideration the social structures, political economy, and /or everyday experiences and practices of Pacific Island and Asian Pacific localities.
Please note that both the title and the abstract for this panel are
subject to changes as determined by the respective presenters.
For further information and to submit an abstract of an individual
paper for this panel, please contact either Lisa Uperesa at
firstname.lastname@example.com and/or Jan Padios at email@example.com.
Abstract submission deadline: January 23, 2008.

Paul Carrezola knew all about the budding tight end tradition Rutgers had going when he committed to the school four years ago. Marco Battaglia, L.J. Smith, Clark Harris …
It's one of the reasons he wound up in Piscataway.
"It attracted me here," said the Scarlet Knights' fourth-year junior. "I knew there was a pedigree at the position."
But until this year — and three offensive coordinators after Carrezola arrived on campus — the promises of fielding a tight end-friendly offense were more words than actions.
Enter new offensive coordinator Dave Brock, who has done more than just pay lip service to being a tight ends guy.
Heading into Saturday's Homecoming game against Kent State (6-1), 15th-ranked and 7-0 Rutgers is getting more production out of the tight end position than any season since 2008, when John McNulty was the offensive coordinator.
Carrezola, fifth-year senior D.C. Jefferson and redshirt freshman Tyler Kroft have all caught touchdown passes. The last time the Knights had three tight ends with a touchdown catch in a season was 2004 (Harris, Sam Johnson and Chris Loomis).
Carrezola, Jefferson and Kroft have also combined for 17 catches for 180 yards. That's more receptions at the position than last year under offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti and more than 2010, when Kirk Ciarrocca was calling the shots. The numbers are on pace to easily surpass 2009 as well.
"It seems like the tight ends are getting a lot more passes thrown to them this year and making more of an impact in the passing game," Kroft said.
For Jefferson, the 6-6, 235-pounder who arrived with so much promise but has too often become a forgotten part of the offense, the tight end revival was overdue.
He already has a career-high 13 catches and his touchdown grab against Temple last week was his first since 2010.
"It feels good," he said. "It's been a long time coming. Coach Brock has trust in the tight ends and he's giving us opportunities and we're taking advantage.
"I always stayed confident that this would happen again. It's a great feeling being able to contribute in the passing game."
The feeling is mutual from the guy delivering those passes.
"I love throwing to our tight ends because they're big targets who cause a lot of matchup problems," said quarterback Gary Nova. "I feel like we have three really good ones, and they all do different things well. We feel like we can use all of them in different ways."
Carrezola's impact in the passing game — one catch for a two-yard touchdown — has been limited in part because he missed the first two games of the season with an ankle injury. He is also handling the fullback responsibilities following the season-ending injury to starter Michael Burton.
But even at that, and with just one catch, he is only three receptions shy of tying his career-high.
"The big thing for all of us has been consistency," Carrezola said. "The more you know your job and do the correct thing on the field, the more trust you're going to establish with the coaches. And all three of us have established that trust."

Golf Writers' Extravaganza: The Xona Golf Media Classic
It is a FAM (short for "familiarity") trip like no other. As a golf-travel writer, I have journeyed far and wide in the company of other writers over the last dozen years, about 70 trips in total. But the Xona Golf Media Classic in Scottsdale, Ariz., dwarfs the rest in terms of sheer size and scope, not to mention fun and festivity.
Most FAMs I've participated in previously have five to 10 writers involved, occasionally a few more, but rarely above 20. It's important to keep the group size manageable for logistical reasons involving travel to and from, transport throughout, golf course access, property tours, mealtime, etc.
The Xona tosses that limited-scope notion on its ear. One-hundred or more writers, editors, broadcasters, bloggers, et al descend on Scottsdale every December for a four-day jamboree of good golf, valuable networking, lavish banquets and a shopping cart full of swag. It's all the brainchild of longtime Phoenix-area golf writer Bill Huffman, who started the Media Classic nearly a decade ago.
"Gordon Zuckerman, who owned Xona Resort at the time, and I came up with the Media Classic in 2002," explains Huffman, who spent 25 years in total as the golf writer for the Arizona Republic and the East Valley Tribune. He is also the author of the seminal coffee-table book on the unforgettable golf offerings in the Grand Canyon State, called "Arizona's Greatest Golf Courses."
"The event was designed to rejuvenate the spectacular Scottsdale golf scene after a rough period that followed 9/11," continues Huffman, whose radio program "The Golf Show" is broadcast twice weekly on Fox Sports in the Phoenix area. "We just wanted golf writers and broadcasters to come out and play golf in Arizona and experience the great golf and wonderful weather. The first year we had 40 participants just kept growing. The last three years we've limited it to 100."
One of the Beautiful Holes at Southern Dunes
The fortunate participants in this most recent iteration enjoyed some of the nicest tracks in the Valley, including the private Desert Forest Golf Club (www.desertforestgolfclub.com), widely considered the first desert-style course ever built, and well-ensconced among America's Top 100 Classic Courses as designated by Golfweek. In 1962, architect Robert "Red" Lawrence carved the course from existing desert landscape, with virtually no soil having been removed or shaped during course construction. Its environmentally neutral setting is still its hallmark. Driving corridors are tight and twisting, and with no fairway bunkering to catch offline tee balls bounding down the firm fairways, visits to the desert are inevitable for all but the very straightest of drivers.
Superstition Mountain's Prospector Course (www.superstitionmountain.com), created by Jack and Gary Nicklaus, was also on the Media Classic agenda. Relatively speaking, it appears as expansive as Manhattan's Central Park after the constrictions of Desert Forest. It's not quite wall-to-wall grass, but offers a far roomier playing field than the early-'60s classic. One of the most striking features of the 7,185-yard Prospector Course is an oasis-like water feature that extends the length of the 18th hole, with a multi-tiered green set in an amphitheater-type setting. Virtually the entire course, which served as the home of the LPGA's Safeway International for several years through the middle portion of the last decade, is surrounded by majestic views of the Superstition Mountains.
We-Ko-Pa's esteemed Cholla course (www.wekopa.com), a Scott Miller design that opened late in 2001, was next on the visitation list. "The lush vegetation, natural drainage corridors and unique topographic conditions make the site ideally suited for a spectacular golf venue," explains the architect. "The location offers panoramic vistas, including the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, the Verde River and the Matazal Mountains, which are highlighted by the prominence of the often snow-capped Four Peaks formation." Also on site is the Saguaro Course, created by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, giving We-Ko-Pa one of the most formidable one-two punches in the desert Southwest.
And finally we visited Southern Dunes (www.golfsoutherndunes.com), a unique offering by the highly respected Scottsdale-based golf design firm of Schmidt-Curley Design, Inc., in consultation with longtime PGA Tour star Fred Couples. Southern Dunes offers wide-open views in all directions. Spread out over 320 acres, the course is wild-looking, with rugged land forms covered in native grasses. In its previous iteration, before opening to the public at large, it was a "men-only" club with a healthy sprinkling of members culled from the city's pro sports teams like the NBA's Phoenix Suns and baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks. It is no short jaunt from Scottsdale down to Maricopa where the course is located, which might be one of the reasons the course has undergone its struggles. But it is rather convenient to the Sky Harbor Airport, only about 30-odd minutes away.
Superior golf venues and fine fêtes are well and good, and greatly appreciated by the workings scribes. But the truly amazing thing about the Xona Golf Media Classic is its pennies-on-the-dollar tariff. Participants enjoy the four rounds of golf, four nights lodging at the Xona Resort Suites in the heart of Scottsdale, pretty much every meal, and nightly soirees that put most large-scale weddings or upscale Christmas parties to shame, all for about the price of a single round of premium golf. But the larger point is that one doesn't have to be a member of the Fourth Estate to enjoy phenomenal golf values in and around Scottsdale in these troubled economic times.
Brent DeRaad is the executive vice president of the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, and has lived in Arizona for 25 years. "It is well-known that Scottsdale features some of the world's finest daily-fee courses," explains DeRaad, himself an avid golfer. "But the recession and the waning of interest in golf, with fewer rounds being played, we've found that the pricing structure of golf in the region, and the green fees themselves have really been reduced in recent times."
The Iowa native uses marquee names like Grayhawk and Troon North as examples. "Several years ago at our peak, the rack rates for that type of golf course would be in the neighborhood of $250-$300. Now depending on the packages you can find, you can access the same courses during high season (January through April) for $150 to $200, which is a reduction of 30% or more."
DeRaad goes on to state that factoring in shoulder season, summer rates, and mid-tier courses a step below top-end venues like the aforementioned, rates have dropped even more precipitously. "You can access great golf courses in our region for less than $100, and in some cases more like $40-$50 per round. We have nearly 50 public-access courses in Scottsdale and, all told, at least 150 public-access courses in the Valley of the Sun. We are easy to get to, with flights from about 100 cities heading here everyday. Avid golfers have just always been attracted to Scottsdale."
And in the current economy, those same avid golfers are further attracted to Scottsdale because of the much-welcomed pricing structure.

The Apple Flagship Store
The Big Apple in San Francisco
by SFS Staff on Aug 19, 2004
Apple's hands-on approach in its retail stores encourages customers to test the products on display. Knowledgeable, ubiquitous staff are waiting to answer any questions you have. Something to note is that these folks actually can answer your questions, compared with other computer stores. They are passionate about the products, and eager to show you some of their own photos or home movies made with iPhoto or iMovie.
This store isn't as large as it neighbor across the street, the Virgin Megastore, but the space is well organized and the open architecture is very inviting. There are two floors displaying both Apple and non-Apple hardware and software in themed areas or stations. All the products are live and connected to other devices or the Internet to promote interactive use and testing.
The first floor is broken out into six stations, divided by an impressive glass staircase descending from the second floor. The most current devices are set up here for you to play with and eventually purchase, such as the iPod (from $249 for 4GB of storage to $499 for 40GB of storage) or Apple-compatible digital cameras ($179 for Nikon Coolpix 2200 to $999 for a Canon EO5 Digital Rebel). You will also find the G5 Server, iMac, iBook, PowerBook and flat-screen monitors on this floor.
Music fans can listen to the iPod with headphones or connect it to different space-age variations of loudspeakers. One station even has an electronic keyboard to make your own music using Apple's music application, GarageBand.
At the top of the stairs, you face an open-air theater. I didn't count them, but I've been told there are 39 theater seats (why not 40?) for folks interested in the free seminars offered daily. To the right of the theater is the Genius Bar, where you might feel the desire to order a drink but, instead, will find a dozen or so technical experts ready to help troubleshoot problems or answer questions.
On the opposite side of the staircase is an Internet Café and a Kids station luring customers into interactive sessions with the knowledgeable personnel we found everywhere in the store. There are 12 iMacs in the Internet Café, all providing free Internet access and configured with iSight video cameras for face-to-face communication. The Kids station looks like a mini café, literally. There are six iMacs on a lowered table, loaded with educational software found in the video software library directly behind the station. Behind the live workstations are how-to books and the software wall, displaying everything from OS X to the latest video games.
All products sold at this retail location conform to Apple's strict pricing policies. You can find updated pricing information online at www.apple.com.

I think you get pain from trudging through all the spam.
I get tons of pain in my legs, such as shin splints, ankles, flat feet, low arches. But when I run in sneakers(five finger shoes) on roads. I am very in shape and have played sports all of my life but started to get these pains towards the end of high school and throughout college soccer. It is very hard to get into a workout routine when in so much pain.
I have heard people say that running barefoot or in shoes like vibram five fingers work wonders after a couple months of doing it?
Has anyone tried vibram fivefinger shoes like KSO shoes? I'm very interested.
I think you get pain from trudging through all the spam.
i love running in vibrams (i have the sprints). i never really had problems with high-tech running shoes since i've never been much of a heel striker. if you're going to switch to vibrams, start off by walking and getting used to them. they can be a big change from what you're used to. but, you'll be up on the balls of your feet, and you will shorten your stride, which should help with whatever problems you might be experiencing. there's a pretty good article on minimalist shoes in this month's runners world if you want to learn more.
I do sprints on grass around my property (5 ish acres) totally barefoot. When I first did it last year, I had some calf soreness, but now it feels good. I've never gotten shin splints from barefoot running.
I haven't tried running yet barefoot....saving up my birthday money for the vibrams, but I workout barefoot all the time at home and I agree with slesca, the calves were the biggest issue because they really don't get much work with bulky shoes on. Shin splints can be avoided by just using your feet to write the alphabet in the air while you sit at your desk or watch TV. If you strengthen those muscles up the shin splints will never return. The other benefit I found to working out barefoot is that your foot has so much more flexibility and those tiny muscles all around your toes and your top of your foot get so much stronger. I would go for it!!

S/he included links the first time to what looked like counterfeit Vibrams.
All adds up to not being worth responding.

Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
As I kid I almost never wore shoes, I even played rugby barefoot. Even now I can run freely in bare feet and have no foot problems. Just "buying shoe" problems as all that barefoot action as a kid contributed to be having very wide feet!
Last weekend I took my new Vibram 5-Finger KSOs to the Oregon coast for a first run. I overdid it ( 3-mile jog and 1-mile of into-the-wind sprints) and got blisters on the ball of my feet - could be because I got them wet in the ocean first. It was low tide and the sand was tightly packed - it felt like I was running on concrete. Nevertheless it was alot of fun!

The politics of stimulus
By: Dan Juneau
During the last decade, Republican members of Congress have taken a beating in elections around the country. In most instances, those who lost elections – or whose vacant seats were turned over – were replaced by Democrats who proclaimed to be moderate or conservative.
Most of those Democrats belong to the "Blue Dog" coalition. The hallmark of this caucus is their self-proclaimed strong belief in conservative fiscal policies. The Blue Dogs could hold the balance of power in the House, especially on budgetary issues – if they were willing to buck their liberal leadership and occasionally join with Republicans.
The Blue Dogs recently had such an opportunity. On January 27, the House voted on the resolution that would allow the leadership's "stimulus" bill to come to the floor. Most of the Blue Dogs felt the bill contained entirely too much spending and was out of line with what President Obama claimed he wanted in a stimulus package. Had most of the Blue Dogs voted against the resolution, the bill would have gone back to the drawing board along with a clear message to Speaker Pelosi and her leadership that a more conservative approach was needed. The Blue Dogs would have served the nation well by taking such an action and would have put Speaker Pelosi on notice that they were a force to be reckoned with.
Unfortunately, as has happened numerous times in the past, when push came to shove, the Blue Dogs stayed on the porch.
The massive spending bill ($1.2 trillion if you count the interest on the borrowing, which certainly is a legitimate element to count) was passed without a single Republican vote and with only 11 Democrats opposing it. It is the total property of the Democrats. If it does what they claim it will do, they can take the credit. If it doesn't create four million jobs, if it doesn't begin to immediately jumpstart the economy, and if it only leads to bigger government and super-inflation, they will shoulder the blame.
That must be an uncomfortable thought for many of the Blue Dogs. Their constituents are certainly concerned about the health of the economy and the security of their jobs. But most of them aren't likely to believe adding greatly to the size of government (financed through more borrowing) is going to improve the economy to any appreciable degree. That is a dilemma for the Blue Dogs, since the one thing certain about the House passed version of the bill is it will greatly expand government and pay for the expansion by burdening future generations. The champions of "pay-go" (not allowing any tax cut or increased spending without paying for it with budget reductions or new taxes) went for the biggest increase in deficit spending in history because they couldn't stand up to their liberal leadership.
If the Democratic stimulus bill doesn't work, the Blue Dogs have a problem. If their constituents are taxed later to pay for this extravagance, they have a larger problem. If inflation soars when the economy starts to rebound because the "stimulus" wasn't designed to work immediately, they have a lot of explaining to do.
The most vulnerable Democrats are those who come from districts that were held previously by Republicans. To remain in good standing with their fiscally conservative constituents, they can't simply talk a good game in Washington. They lost an opportunity to shape a more conservative approach on the stimulus, and they may live to regret not having the courage to stand up for what they say they championed.

At the top of Portugal (three days on Serra da Estrela)
This 3-day tour across the Serra da Estrela mountain range starts at Seia with a morning devoted to children.
First, an educational, fun visit to the Toy Museum to see toys from all eras, and in all shapes and sizes. Then, at the Bread Museum, the little ones will enjoy learning how to knead bread dough and make biscuits which they can take home with them. And, if it is time for lunch, this is the right place for a family meal to appreciate the flavours of the regional cuisine. Before leaving Seia, you must stop at the Information Centre to learn about trails and activities in the Natural Park.
To reach Torre, mainland Portugal's highest point, you can choose a more mountainous road running through Sabugueiro and Lagoa Comprida, or an alternative one that leads you through a number of mountain villages such as Lapa dos Dinheiros, Sazes da Beira and Valezim.

Jess Rubenstein at The Prospect Park reports that J.T. Miller (2011 – 1st) had 2g, 1a to lead his Plymouth Whalers to a 8-0 win over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds last night.
Miller, who was named the game's second star, now has 11g, 12a on the season.
Speaking of Rangers first round picks, Rubenstein also notes that in Dylan McIlrath's (2010 – 1st) second game since returning from injury he showed no ill effects from a possible concussion as he picked up a secondary assist as well as getting into his third fight of the season but it wasn't enough as his Moose Jaw Warriors lost to the Swift Current Broncos 3-2. McIlrath now has 2g, 3a on the season.
For more prospect news, read the rest of Rubenstein's report at The Prospect Park.
…seriously can you imagine the Rangers next season with both Miller and Hagelin on the team. I think I'm excited.
…very encouraging to see McIlrath feeling confident enough to fight again.

Hi there, Just wondering about the Red Bird infront of the house.
If the street infront is a busy street, is that bad? If so any fix for this?
Thank you.
If the street infront is a busy street, is that bad? If so any fix for this?
Thank you.
Re: Busy Street Infront of HouseWed, September 9, 2009 - 3:03 PMWell personally I wouldn't think of it as bad but instead that it just needs some tweaking. If the busy street was a rushing river you might think of it as a bit too intense unless you loved riding the rapids every day. Since one usually wants grounding energy in a home you might want to look at things that ground/hold/capture/focus the energy in your space rather then having it whisked along with the street current/traffic.
I like to use physical cures but there are also subtle cures one can do (probably other consultants would have more ideas on those). Each home is unique so some things I've recommended to clients are; fences w/ greenery, grounding trees, colorfully planted dirt berm (always nice and one of my favorites:), statues, etc - things that deaden the sound, turn your attention from the traffic and focus you inward towards you home/yard. Also, the busier the traffic the larger, more solid and grounding the cure/adjustment tends to need to be. If you look at things from the perspective of what makes you or your guests focus on your home/yard rather then drawing your attention to the busy street then you will be on the right track of understanding how the energy moves, thus how to adjust it.
Re: Busy Street Infront of HouseMon, October 12, 2009 - 8:00 PMJust lots of Yang energy here so I see no problem. Unless you situate your sleeping quarters on the side of the busy street, you are bound to get sleepless nights unless you shut out your windows. This is actually the norm for Asian countries that rely on trade and industry and busy streets are actually a preference.
Re: Busy Street Infront of HouseTue, October 13, 2009 - 5:39 PMI agree Eden, the high energy is good when your business is located there, as long as you can still get the energy to stop and step in rather then just rushing by.

Smith Lumber - Milford, IA - Phone: (712) 338-4774
Masonry, in Milford, is a form of construction that refers to building. It also helps in retaining historical monuments. Masonry Contractors in Milford are individuals who take the responsibility to complete construction work of such buildings. One of their important jobs is to assist the client in selecting the best material required for construction, such as marble, granite, bricks, cement, concrete, glass, etc. If these materials are not of good quality, it would then affect the durability of the building. Masonry contractors in Milford are also responsible for checking the site on daily basis for the smooth running of work; along with that, they also need to manage the vendors and the suppliers. The contractor estimates the budget, considering the material required, labor, tools, etc, and informs the client about it. The contractor should possess experience and, more importantly, a valid license before managing construction work.

Soccer field will be searched for more artifacts
Eventual goal is to 'play ball' there
by Lisa Allen
Valley View Editor
FALL CITY‹King County and the Snoqualmie Tribe have finally agreed on a plan to allow archaeologists to further investigate the site of a planned soccer field where Native American artifacts were found late this spring. The ancient items were found by an archaeologist working with crews who were building the field, located just outside of town. The future of the site as a soccer field had been undecided while tribal and county representatives considered the ramifications of the find.
At a meeting last Thursday, tribal and county officials agreed to let archaeologists continue to "excavate some of the hot spots‹areas where the artifacts had been concentrated," said Tribal Councilmember Ray Mullen. "We are trying our best to get all the agencies involved to let us bring in fill to cover the site when we are done. Our eventual vision is to have this as a soccer field."
Mullen said the agencies have agreed that it is necessary to get the work done as soon as possible.
"With our Seattle weather, we need to do the excavation soon," said Mullen.
The field was being built by the Snoqualmie Valley Youth Soccer Association, using a County Youth Sports Facility Grant from King County Parks, which owns the property.
"We are fairly sure that there won't be a soccer field there this year," said King County Parks Department spokesman Al Dams. "But we are committed to the soccer project...we haven't given it up...we will either use that site or find another location."
Because the property was a known archaeological site, the county agreed to have an archaeologist there while the ground was being excavated, said Dams. Northwest Archaeological Associates contracted to do the job.
Dams said evidence of a Native American firepit was unearthed as crews began clearing brush and weeds from the property late this spring. Work was stopped after the archaeologist found pieces of charcoal, burned rock and flint.
Dams said the county had considered three options‹covering over the field or excavating it partially or totally.
King County Executive spokesperson Elaine Kraft said the agencies agreed last week to move forward with the excavation, but that the county is still checking on the legal ramifications of the proposal to add fill to cover the property.
"We want to make sure this gets done to everybody's satisfaction," she said. "A problem with filling in the site is that it may be in the floodway and we are checking with our legal department and DDES to see if it (covering up the site) requires further study. But we are doing all we can to make it happen."
Kraft said county staff want to find a way to get the work done as quickly as possible, given the nature of the site.
"We want to have artifact recovery done, bring in the cap and plant it within the growing season," said Kraft. "We are optimistic for next year. Out of respect for the Tribe's wishes, and the fact it is an environmentally sensitive site, we need to do it right."
Mullen said he can't see why the Tribe and county couldn't get a permit to cover the field if it benefits everyone involved.
"It's not too often we get to save a site and have a soccer field, with the approval of the Tribe, as well," he said.

Just two decades ago, many schools had only a few computers and taught lessons about typing. But Monday marked a drastic change for Arizona schools as one of the first K-5 technology academies opened its doors to students.
Scales Technology Academy in Tempe boasts a 1-1 ratio of students to laptop computers. The school's principal, David Diokno, said it is the first Arizona elementary school to do so. The Arizona Department of Education does not track such information.
"We saw that there was a need that was expressed by parents in our district," Diokno said. "We did a lot of research, and now we're opening a brand-new school with close to 600 students."
The academy is part of a growing trend within state districts to incorporate technology into classrooms. Almost every school district has some ban on tech toys that many say interfere with classroom discipline, such as cellphones and iPods. Recently, many of these districts are using some of the banned technology as a way to educate students in the classroom.
"A lot of our classrooms use Smart Boards," said Kristen Landry, Madison Elementary School District marketing and communication director. "The computer image is projected onto a screen. The students can go up to the screen and touch it. It's almost like the iPhone."
Smart Board is a product many districts around the Valley have integrated into classrooms. This interactive white board combines the uses of overheads, scanners, projectors and the Internet into one system. It can cost upwards of $5,000 to install one Smart Board.
"I truly believe Smart Boards can be used in every single classroom subject," said Diokno, whose school has the board in every class. "Almost any subject you can think of can be enhanced through the power of the interactive white board."
Other tech toys that districts use are Nintendo Wii for fitness and education games, podcasts and Internet resources such as YouTube and Google Earth. VoiceThread is a Web site that allows teachers to upload classroom videos for students to comment on.
"I can put a picture or a video of something that is going on in our class on (the site) and after, kids can plug a microphone into the computer and add comments or thoughts verbally," said John Enright, a second-grade teacher at Madison Rose Lane Elementary School in Phoenix. "It's kind of like graffiti or message board. It's one way that I can assess kids who have trouble learning in the written form."
With all the new technology, some parents are worried that it has become a "convenient curriculum."
"It's made things way too easy for assignments. It's too cosmetic and too easy," said Chandler resident David Harbster, a parent of two grown children. "To me, the computer is just a very big fancy filing cabinet. I think we need to slow this baby down. It's a two-dimensional space on a computer, but we live in a three-dimensional world."
Harbster said he agrees that technology is a good learning tool but believes that many schools are overusing it.
"It's almost become a video drug," he said. "I think it's becoming, "How much we can do?' rather than asking what the real benefits of this technology are. It's very seductive, and it's designed to be that way. And schools are trying to stay ahead as best they can, but it's too much."
Diokno said Scales Technology Academy stresses Tempe Elementary School District's curriculum standards but uses technology to enhance the learning process.
"We're not going to be only about technology. We're going to infuse it into the curriculum," he said. "Our kids are in the digital age. So now we are enhancing our curriculum through the infusion of technology. It's an added resource."
Many teachers and districts are at different stages of the implementation of technology in the classroom. Although it may be challenging and time-consuming to keep up with new technology uses, Madison teacher Enright said it is how children learn.
"I think the imagery we use with technology is really a more effective way to teach kids than simply telling them something," he said. "The bonus is a lot of those materials are interactive, which is a better model of teaching."
Fifth graders Kathy Andrus, 9, left, Jasmin Legarda, 9, and Naphy Hernandez, 10, work on their laptops in the classroom of teacher Justin Szymakowski. Laptops and smart boards are used, along with traditional tools such as paper and pencils, at Scales Tec
The Arizona Republic Parent Advisory Panel members share their views on technology in the classroom.
Technology and the skills to use it effectively are really important, but I worry we're leaving some things behind that are equally vital. In our rush toward technology, are we taking time to make kids think?"
Carol Rose, Phoenix
We need technology in the classroom; however, it should not take the place of conversing with others, problem-solving with others and just sharing thoughts with others. Technology can't teach how to get along with people and can't teach good character."
Tammy Amble Linn, Prescott
Whether we like it or not, technology is the future for our children. The more the educational system can prepare them, the better. Very few businesses now operate without a computer and the Internet. If they are learning the information, then the process is a success."
Andrea Baumer, Scottsdale
My concern about technology in the schools is that I don't feel that good old-fashioned research skills are being acquired the ways as when I was in school. I seriously doubt that my oldest child even knows what the Dewey system is."
Milissa Koehler, Phoenix

International Programs are an important segment of the Rhode Island Land Grant portfolio. This area will provide opportunities for RIAES researchers and RICE specialists to extend knowledge, expertise, technologies, intellectual property and other skills to international stakeholders. We are currently engaged in fisheries and aquaculture projects in Africa, South America and Asia. Likewise, we have specialists providing expertise to a soil reclamation project in China and are providing opportunities for training Chinese agricultural scientists here at the University of Rhode Island.
Agriculture is a global endeavor. As such, the advancement of agriculture, food production and environmental sustainability is dependent on international partnerships. Addressing critical issues related to food production, agricultural sustainability, natural resource management, food safety, disease prevention are not only national priorities, they are global priorities. Likewise, our communities are becoming progressively diverse. An understanding and appreciation of cultural differences are essential to global cooperation, and successful international trade and development.
Goals of this Program
To assist international partners in the development of strategies for food production, agricultural sustainability and global trade cooperation.
- Develop and promulgate a shellfish sanitation program in African countries.

Coco Loco (Royal Caribbean's Version)
Total Time
Prep 4 mins
Cook 0 mins
A fruity frozen drink from Oceans Potions: Royal Carribean Cocktail Recipe Book. This was my favorite drink to have poolside on our last cruise.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 ounce dark rum
- 3⁄4 ounce coconut rum
- 1⁄2 ounce cream of coconut
- 1⁄2 ounce papaya nectar (optional)
- 1⁄2 ounce orange juice
- 1⁄2 ounce pineapple juice
- 1⁄4 ounce grenadine
- 1⁄2 banana (optional)
- Blend all ingredients with 1/2 cup ice. Add more ice as you wish.
Most Helpful
This is a lovely fruity drink and I loved the coconut without it being to heavy. I cut back on the grenadine and didn't use the optional banana. I somehow misread the recipe and mixed this in a shaker rather then blended and we really like it that way. The cream of coconut I use comes from an Asian market and isn't sweetened like most are, which we prefer as it keeps these type of drinks from becoming cloyingly sweet. What kept this from a 5th star was we found it had a bitter edge, though none of the ingredients had any bitterness on their own. DH even made a second -a great hardship :)- with light rather than dark rum, but it tasted the same. There must be something in the combining that casues it. Even so, we enjoyed it with our spicy grilled shrimp and zucchini. Thanks for sharing - made for ZWT 7 for the Food.commandos
I love the coconut flavor in this!! First time around I made as directed. I didn't love the grenadine in it for some reason. DH like it as is. For the second round we tried it without the grenadine and added accidently a little more pineapple juice. WOW that was perfect for us. You could taste the coconut more and the banana. This is a winner for us too. Made for ZWT5.
WINNER! DH liked this better than last night's cocktail, which was also perfect. The cream of coconut was heavenly and the rest was also very good. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made as "Slice of Lime Babe" of Bodacious Brickhouse Babes for ZWT5 Caribbean Region.

RIDGE MANOR WEST — Damage from the July 6 fire at the East Hernando Branch Library will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and likely will keep the facility closed for repairs for months, officials said this week.
Since the fire, the county has been assessing the damage, and dozens of employees of Servpro, a professional cleaning service, have been working to restore the contents.
The fire, which was reported at 2 a.m. by a security company monitoring the library, is considered suspicious by authorities. The state fire marshal is investigating.
The fire was in a small screened-in reading room at the rear of the building. When firefighters arrived, they found several wicker chairs on fire that were stacked against the back door to the main portion of the library.
One hundred books, 150 magazines and many videotapes were destroyed by the fire, officials said.
Structural damage was minimal, but water damage from two sprinkler heads inside and smoke damage was extensive, according to Cristi Charlow, the county's risk management coordinator.
Cleaning each of the library's 18,000 books, periodicals and other media is proving to be a meticulous job, Charlow explained. The workers from Servpro are wiping down the books, then using an ozone cleaning system to eliminate the lingering smoke smell.
When the process is done, she said, the books smell clean again.
Workers also have been dropping ceilings to clean light fixtures, removing baseboard and insulation, and cleaning behind smoky drywall.
As the books and furnishings are cleaned, they will be stored off-site in a climate-controlled setting until the building is ready for use again. Charlow said that it is important to keep all of the library's belongings together and that she didn't want to risk leaving them at the library.
The restoration work inside the library will be bid out in the coming weeks, with a prebid conference for interested contractors to be held at the site, Charlow said.
While predicting when the library might be ready to reopen is difficult, she said it could be three to six months, or more.
Charlow said that the county's insurance company is covering the damages, which could reach $500,000, with the Servpro bill running between $200,000 and $225,000 alone. The county's deductible is $25,000. Because funding for libraries has been an issue as the county prepares its 2013-14 budget, some people have expressed concern about whether the library fund can afford that expense.
Charlow said there is no need to worry because the county has a risk fund that will be used to pay the insurance deductible.
The 8,500-square-foot library opened in 2006 on a 7-acre tract on Windmere Road, near the intersection of State Road 50 and Interstate 75.

Like the title says, I've come across tools for managing different challenges. While not every tool works for every person, I figured that these are varied enough that something might work for other people. Enjoy!
My husband's birthday was Tuesday, and it's a milestone year for him (meaning one of the fives or tens, but no, I'm not telling you - a lady never says her age, or the age of her paramour; you shouldn't have asked...). It got me thinking about mini-vacations. more>>
I write this railside in Washington, D.C. We are waiting for our train to Florida and the wi-fi isn't connecting us. I'm posting this via cell modem using my friend's iPhone as a mobile hotspot.
How do you connect to the internet? You must do so to read this, and as such, we are a minority among the citizens of the world. Do you remember before you used the internet? Or did you grow up with it and, like electricity, take it for granted? more>>
The best thing about the internet is that now we have ebooks. We can take an ebook reader with us on vacation, buy books from practically anywhere that has a wifi connection, and take a prodigious stack of reading material anywhere without needing to see the chiropractor (or, frankly, resembling that bag lady down on the corner).
Okay, so now we have ebook readers, smart phones, computers, purses with lists, and the ubiquitous sticky note.
Then how come we're STILL not getting everything done? more>>
Someone reminded me recently, entropy is the natural state of things. It's the state toward which things are inclined, so it is, in fact, inevitable. Thus, taking from the old standby, the Serenity Prayer, we know that we need the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Assuming we can apply that wisdom, and have figured out which things we can't change, what about those things that entropy affects but that we CAN change? What do we do then? more>>
We are starting our Artist's Way workshop, Session III, over at the Writer's Retreat. I'm excited. I find that I create more, both in terms of writing and textile arts, when I am working through the exercises. The focus on play is enormously helpful to me.
I think that living in a Puritanical culture really drums it into our heads at a young age that play is frivolous. It's sad. Robert Louis Stevenson even felt so, and wrote an essay, "An Apology for Idlers." It's a fun read. In it, he postulates that 'idlers,' as he calls it, have time to sit and think about life and philosophy, which he feels is a noble pursuit. The endless questing after more things to do is, in his estimation, one of the ills of society. more>>
As we head into what shows every sign of being a prolonged period of economic stress, it pays to look to our own houses and make sure they are ready to weather the coming storm. As writers, we must be sure to keep our spiritual and emotional house in order so that we may continue to create. It is the times of challenge that show us where our weak points are, the cracks in our armor that let the wind in; the leaks in the roof that send drips down on our heads. These don't need to be as onerous if we just remember the universal principle of the power of thought. more>>
So. What does peripatetic have to do with writing? Good question. I was reading Julia Cameron's work and she commented that several writers belong to the "peripatetic school." My first thought was, what the heck is peripatetic? Then it was, what does walking have to do with writing? more>>

The doctors are in: WMH has a new crew of physicians ready to handle patient needs

As part of recruitment efforts by Wayne Memorial Hospital, several physicians have been hired over the past year. From left are Dr. Alfred Okeke, diabetes and endocrinology specialist, and internal medicine physicians Dr. Deepak Cuddapah, Dr. Catherine Cabungcal and Dr. Randy Swackhammer. Doctors Okeke, Cabungcal and Swackhammer comprise Wayne Health Medical Clinic, while Dr. Cuddapah is part of the practice of Goldsboro Family Physicians.
A year and a half ago, a physician's decision to retire or close up shop would send residents scrambling for a new primary care physician. This was not unheeded by officials at Wayne Memorial Hospital, who say they have been...
