Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV program, Wednesday July 26. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:
The Cool Factor: Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE:WMT), Whole Foods Market (WFMI), Tim Hortons (THI), Home Depot (NYSE:HD), Best Buy (NYSE:BBY), General Motors (NYSE:GM), Zumiez (NASDAQ:ZUMZ), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), News Corp. (NASDAQ:NWS), VF Corp. (NYSE:VFC)
Companies are not just judged by their fundamentals, but, like art, their valuation determines whether or not they are "cool." "When I talk about valuation, I mean the price-to-earnings ratio," Cramer said. "The thing that is causing stocks to jump around is coolness." On the "uncool" list are WMT, THI and HD. WFMI, however, is very "cool." One factor that encourages people to buy BBY or ZUMZ, for example, that they see "all those BMWs in the parking lot." Some stocks may go from "uncool" to "cool" overnight; "Not long ago you could not give away a General Motors (GM)." Cramer added, "Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), is like a Renoir, a benchmark. Starbucks (SBUX) is like a Hockney....News Corp.'s (NWS) acquisition of MySpace seemed like a dramatic overplay," he said. "Like a Klimt -- or Verklempt." Cramer suggests looking for the next cool thing, like VFC, which has Van's footware and North Face Brands.
Top Ten Tech.Takeover Targets: Broadcom (BRCM), Western Digital (NYSE:WDC), Palm (PALM), Wind River Systems (WIND),Websense (NASDAQ:WBSN), BEA Systems (BEAS), Tibco (NASDAQ:TIBX), Filenet (FILE), Avid Technology (NASDAQ:AVID), and ActiveIdentity (ACTI)
Cramer says that the market is shooting everything down that has a high multiple, and he sees potential consolidation in this trend. He listed the top ten tech takeover plays, but said that investors could find their own by looking at which companies have been knocked down and yet have the greatest potential for earnings. For instance, BRCM is a "hated stock" because of the options backdating scandal, and yet it is "a great chip company," and Cramer thinks it may be bought by Symantec (NASDAQ:SYMC). According to Citigroup (NYSE:C), there is a need for middleware, which is made by Tibco and BEA Systems. He believes that Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) or SAP (NYSE:SAP) could buy either of these companies.

Historical Traveler Reviews BelleVue Beach Paradise Cancun
Don't go there!
My husband and I stayed there for the honeymoon. Our first room had a broken showerhead, faulty safe and a cracked window. It took them two days to move us to a different room. The staff was rude. The buffet food left a lot to be desired. The "nice" restaurant that served dinner was pretty good. There are plenty of other hotels in Cancun that are nicer and just as reasonable. I definately would NOT recommend it to anyone!
Being Nice is Good
"Being nice is Good". This is what the Bellhop said as he brought our baggage to our 8th floor Suite that had a panaramic view of Cancun beach for miles. The oversized balcony gave a 270 degree view and was right over the beach and pool area. The room was beautiful, clean and very large. The Staff was helpful and friendly.
The food was good, but we're not used to spiced tea or the other fruit juices, so we just drank water and Coke.
I do understand how some people have bad trips, not just here, but everywhere. There was one Redheaded Lady that was so rude.
We had about a two hour wait for a room, but just enjoyed the atmosphere and waited until they got to us. Had a wonderful time and will do it again.
Never Go There!
I went to the Yalmakan Hotel in '97 and it was worth what we paid so when my fiance and I wanted to go on vacation in May '02 I said we should go there again. I was wrong!!!!
The front desk and general staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. They could not give you change or exchange money. They even charge you for a lock for the safety deposit boxes.
The food was awful. I barely ate anything. They had the buffet open on certain times, but there wasn't much selection. The "nice" restaurant was only open two times, 10 night trip. It took 2 hours to get our food the first time, and it was unedible. There are only 5 things to order, how can it take so long? When they have that restaurant open they close the buffet so on two nights we had no dinner that we paid for. The front desk was no help with complaints, they said what can we do. A refund would have been nice. The food made us sick, don't eat the lettuce or probably anything else!!!!
The facilities were run down and the bed felt like it was broken.
Only about 30-50 people were in the hotel when we stayed so the service was minimum along with the options.
The sports and recreation staff was nice when they weren't trying to sleep with you and all the other female guests.
I understand it is Mexico, but we went there on what we got 5 years ago and that was not what we got. No shows, no good food, no service. Cancun was great, Yalmakan was aweful. I wouldn't go back even if it was free. Our time in and around the hotel was horrible and because of the lack of food and service it made the whole trip bad.
Please don't go there!!!!
Lots of Fun!
We absolutely had a great time at the Yalmakan! My husband and I brought three of our kids on this vacation, and it was wonderful. There were activities constantly. No time to stop, unless of course, you wanted to. With the kids though, it was great ( ages: 15, 12, & 7). For once, we didn't get the "I'm Bored!" speech. They are doing a lot of updating, and that is only going to make your stay that much more pleasurable. The only thing I wasn't comfortable with would be the elevators. The food was magnificent. The pool bar is always nice, but for the kids, they really thought that was something. If your going alone or especially if your taking the kids, this is definately a place to stay. The people were excellent. LOL, Babyboo
What are you people complaining about?!
My husband and I traveled to Cancun in late June, 2002. We read all of the negative reviews on the internet and were prepared for anything. We got there late and were welcomed by the coolest staff ever. The rooms were very clean and really pretty. They are old, but...you're in Mexico!!! We went to Las Vegas last year for our honeymoon and stayed at the Bellagio. We know what luxery hotels should be. This was far from it, but it was excellent for the price. The all-inclusive aspect was the best part. The food is GOOD, people! The entertainment staff was very attentive and very sweet. They have activities every night and take you out to a club in a group, if that's what you want to do. We are in our mid-20's, so take that into consideration. All I know is staying in stinky hotels all throughout college and being able to afford something like the yamakan was very nice. We had a great time!!!
Rather disappointing
My fiancee and I stayed at the Yalmakan for about a week, (May 11th-17th), and were thoroughly UNimpressed. Luckily the accomodations were complimentary because of them overbooking us last year. We still had to pay for airfare and we were ready to come back before our stay was scheduled to be over. Everything the previous respondants said is true...terrible food, dilapidated facilities, unfriendly staff. This vacation has almost caused us to completely write off Cancun.
There are better hotels
Yalmakan is just a very average hotel. Facilities are somewhat run-down, and the staff is somewhat indifferent-kind of like you find here in New Jersey. We have stayed at Crown Paradise and Royal Solaris and find them far, far superior. This hotel is a cheap hotel, perhaps better for kids on a budget. With so many hotels in Cancun, pass this one by.
I was not impressed!
My husband and I just came back from our Honeymoon in Cancun at the Yalmakan, and it was pretty bad. The hotel is old, and it is showing it's age. The phone never worked, the electricity went out for a couple of hours, and the food was horrible. There are 3 places to eat: a cafeteria-like buffet that was only open 2 out of the 5 days we were there, a pool side buffet that noone was ever manning, and therefore, you could get a hot dog bun, but no dog, and finally their restaurant. Wow. That was the worst. It took 2 hours to get a coke from when we sat down, and the food wasn't even edible.
We loved Cancun, and will go back, but not to the Yalmakan.
Look elsewhere
The hotel is one of the older hotels in Cancun. The rooms were very clean and roomy, but old and in need of work. The staff was great, we had a great time with them, but the food was terrible. We were there for 2 weeks on an all-inclusive trip, but after a few days we gave up and ate out the rest of the trip. We have been to Cancun numerous times and with all the choises in hotels and prices, I would look elsewhere for a more enjoyable trip.
Entertainment Staff Rule
It was my first time out of the states and I felt like I belonged there. Everyone was so friendly. I was very impressed with all the fun activities the entertainment staff made for us all. I didn't want to leave. When I turn 18 I am definitely coming back to the Yalmakan Resort.
THank you Junior,Armando,Fernando,Katie,and Brenda for a wonderful time. I miss you guys.

During breakfast and at the pool, we noticed several parasails in the distance, and discussed whether we wanted to try it.

How to Fix a Stuck Brake Light
Your brake lights are an essential part of your braking system and your warning system. When your brake lights stay on, other drivers cannot tell when you are actually stopping. This can lead to an accident. The lights being stuck on can also lead to drained batteries and bulbs.
1Look at your brake pedal with a flashlight and find the brake pedal switch, which engages the lights. Most cars have this switch built into the pedal. You may have to remove a panel mounted to the underside of the dash for access.
- Problems with this switch are the most common reasons for brake lights to be stuck on.
2Press on the switch and attempt to move it from side to side with your finger. Your switch should pop up and move slightly.
- Your switch needs to be replaced if it does not move. The steps to replace this switch are given below.
3Disconnect the negative cable from your battery.
4Press the tabs of the wiring harness to disconnect it from the switch you are replacing. Remove a retaining clip and washer with a pair of pliers if your vehicle was built before 1990. You will have to move the pedal to the side to remove the switch (note that you are disconnecting the brake pedal from the brake booster). Slide the old switch out. Install the new switch by sliding it back on to the booster. Install the pedal mount back through the hose in the switch and the booster. Press the brake pedal down to make sure it is connected to the booster. If all is connected properly, install the washer and retainer.
5Rotate the brake switch counterclockwise and pull it out of the mounting bracket for newer vehicles.
- Slide the switch toward you until it comes free of the bracket.
6Push the brake pedal down with one hand while inserting the new switch into the mounting bracket with the other hand. Rotate your switch clockwise until it locks into place. Let the pedal come back up to its normal position. Plug the wiring harness back into the switch.
- Place the new switch over the mounting stud in older vehicles so the "U" shape is near the pedal. Slide the switch up and down to trap the push rod and move it toward the pedal arm.
- Reinstall the washer and retaining clip for older cars. Reattach the wiring harness to the plug.
7Check your work by applying the brakes several times.
Community Q&A
I replaced my brake light switch, but the button goes into a hole and there were broken pieces everywhere. What is missing?wikiHow ContributorMany people fill the hole with a small nut and bolt if the little plastic button has broken, or you could get a replacement from the dealer or an auto parts store.
If my brake light is on will my car pass the smog test?wikiHow ContributorYes. Your vehicle will pass an emissions test, so long as the catalytic converter is in perfect shape. The electrical system has no effect on this.
I put a new brake light switch in, but the brake lights are still staying on. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorYou probably need to replace the little piece that fell out of the hole, which probably activated the lights.
What can cause your break pedal to not signal the break light unless you hit the pedal really hard?
My brake switch works but my stop has disintegrated. Can you replace just the stop?
What besides the brake light switch could be causing my brake lights to be stuck in the on position?
I recently got my brake light switch replaced. Since the new switch was installed, my brake lights don't actually come on until the brake pedal is practically pressed all the way down. How can I make it come on when just a little pressure is applied?
- Stuck brake lights can occasionally be caused by an intermittent electrical problem. If your switch is not the culprit, try removing both cables from the battery for several minutes to reset the car's system. Reconnect your battery and see if the problem reoccurs.
Also check the point of contact where the switch plunger meets the brake pedal. Most vehicles have a phenolic button that serves to keep the switch plunger depressed and the brake lights off. Without the button the plunger will simply go thru the mount hole and the brake lights will remain on
- There are basically two kinds of switches. One switch mounts directly to the pedal and moves with the pedal. The other style is mounted on a bracket and makes contact with the switch when the pedal not applied.
- Take your car to a qualified mechanic if the switch is working properly and two attempts at resetting the electrical system do not work. This could indicate an electrical problem that must be serviced by a professional.
- Be careful when attempting this yourself. Some older cars (mainly Fords) have a separate switch connected to the pedal that is used for the cruise control. If that switch is knocked out of alignment, the cruise control may not work correctly by either not engaging or not disengaging when the brakes are applied.
Things You'll Need
- Flashlight
- New brake switch
- Pliers

Milwaukee Music Video: See Juiceboxxx's one-take treatment for "Like a Renegade"
I'm not sure if I've met any Milwaukee performer with more energy than Juiceboxxx. The Milwaukee native (he doesn't claim a home base for now, but he was last living in Los Angeles) was in our studios last year to perform a couple of tracks off his awesome debut full-length "I Don't Want to Go Into the Darkness." It was a raucous good time. And it was really loud.
So I'm not surprised in the slightest to see JB running through the streets, ripping off his shirt, and spraying a can of what I can presume is an energy drink, for the new music video for "Darkness" track "Like a Renegade." Nor am I surprised that the whole thing was done in one take. »Read Full Blog Post

- Three million seats of Workspace Management solutions rolled out - Investment in IT usage analytics pays off
During the last fiscal year, Centrix Software has established itself as the leading Workspace Management provider, and continues to build the company through a record breaking 400 per cent revenue growth, major new contracts in the public sector and strategic partnerships within the IT industry.
Over the last 12 months Centrix Software has more than doubled its number of customers as usage becomes recognised as a unique and compelling value generator. The demand for workspace analytics, profiling and next generation workspace delivery platforms have all contributed to generating this outstanding growth. The cloud-based SaaS platform enables customers, including Salford NHS Foundation Trust, to go live within hours of contract signature, accelerating ease and time to value even further.
Expansion in Germany, with key customer wins supported by partner Revacom, and take up of Workspace Management products by global systems integrators, such as BT Engage, and their customers, fuels rapid adoption across organisations with tens of thousands of devices in use.
Since the launch of WorkSpace iQ™, Centrix Software's workspace profiling and analytics solution, and WorkSpace Universal, its end-user workspace portal which enables a single point of access and enterprise app store to all corporate applications regardless of device, they have been rolled out to over three million seats. Customers include FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, plus major government institutions.
Centrix Software's most recent launch, in June 2013, has been the Usage Intelligence Management Pack™, which enhances Microsoft® System Center 2012 Configuration Manager with in-depth usage analytics from Centrix Software's WorkSpace iQ™. Detailed usage analytics for all applications and devices are now available directly in Configuration Manager, including software applications not currently under Configuration Manager management. Customers can now fully automate the allocation of application self-service, provisioning and de-provisioning by tracking, managing and removing unnecessary applications and therefore costs directly linked to employees' actual usage.
Furthermore, to support its ongoing growth, the company continues to increase investment and attract major talent in marketing, product development and engineering, with the hiring of new department heads; Marketing Director Marina Stedman, Head of Services and Support David Follant and Head of Engineering Steve Coates.
"As the CIO's strategic partner for WorkSpace Management within many global, national and public sector organisations, Centrix Software is at a very exciting stage of its development. Over the last 12 months we've welcomed some fantastic customers to our company who have saved millions of pounds by finding out which software applications their employees are really using – typically only one out of every five. I'm proud to be able to say we've developed software that does what no-one else has been able to do - prove who uses what, how often, for how long, from where, and how many applications are being consumed. With the increasing drive towards cloud computing and BYOD, as well as the imminent need to migrate from Microsoft® Windows XP, making decisions about application delivery is even more complex – and vital. Having access to accurate usage information is the only way forward." said Lisa Hammond, CEO at Centrix Software.
She continued: "At Centrix Software we take great pride in our people with each and every one a specialist who makes a key contribution to current and future success. Marina, David and Steve have been significant additions to our management team, and we will continue our search for dynamic individuals to join the company over the next six months, with particular emphasis on our engineering team to help us to continue to create innovative, market leading solutions that customers want."
Looking ahead to the next 12 months, Centrix Software is planning to double the size of its engineering team, in support of its product road map.

Why does Prince Prospero hide in his palace?
2 Answers | Add Yours
If you look at this story from another perspective, such as that it is really a dream that Prince Prospero is having, then he is not hiding in his palace, he is deathly ill and in bed, dying from the red death in his palace.
One way to view the whole party, the masked ball where the red death shows up is as a fantastic dream that Prince Prospero has as he is in the grip of the red death hallucinating with fever. The rooms symbolize the phases of life, the clock in the last room monitors the final hours, minutes of the Prince, and when finally he confronts the red death, no one survives.
The prince truly believes he can avoid the Red Death. He is aloof enough to think that he can invite only his close (rich) friends into his place and outlast the disease. These qualities are not good qualities of a prince. He should be out helping his people. Instead, he thinks that he can escape death and can party with all of his friends. He does not want any talk of the disease, and he wants everything that goes into his party to be fun, extreme, and inviting. He wants nothing to do with the ugliness of the Red Death, which is why it comes after him.

The Olympic Games have just wrapped up and it was amazing to see international athletes, whether as teams or as individuals, focused on "gold" and performing at incredible levels of expertise. Their accomplishments were amazing. Our city employees, in some ways, are like those athletes. We know our priorities, goals and objectives and we're performing well too.
I believe we're a focused organization, and I think Greeley city government represents a great example of a goal-focused city government in Colorado. We know our city council's priorities — community image, public safety, economic health and development and infrastructure and growth — give direction to our services, projects and everyday tasks. And our success addressing those priorities is obvious when you look at the 2013 Year-End Performance Measures report.
The report highlights the top 48 of almost 400 measures we use to determine if we're on the right track. Here are some examples of measures included in the report: crimes in Greeley (down 1 percent); the number of youth registered in city sports programs (11,790); fire department emergency medical service average response times (4 minutes, 15 seconds); traffic fatalities in the city (down 50 percent); number of rides given by Greeley-Evans Transit (up 8.9 percent).
One of the best ways to let residents know how we're doing in these and other areas is to report regularly on our progress. We take that type of transparency seriously, and we've made it easy. Take a few minutes and go to www.greeleygov.com/pmr and read the highlights report. If you'd like more information, just get in touch.
What makes Greeley government successful? It's our experienced and knowledgeable staff that keeps us focused. In fact, last year our executive team adopted five core values: principled relationships, accountability/responsibility/stewardship, integrity, excellence and applied wisdom. Why these? Because they represent what it takes to be the type of government that can achieve great things. We adopted these not because we weren't already abiding by a high set of values, but because we understand the importance of being intentional about how we're conducting the city's business. And we're continually working and training to practice these values.
We know we're not perfect because there's always room for improvement, but I can say without a doubt we're heading in the right direction
Roy H. Otto is the Greeley city manager.

Skip to comments.CIA watched bin Laden from nearby safe house inside Pakistan
Posted on 05/06/2011 3:28:57 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
CIA watched bin Laden from nearby safe house inside Pakistan By Augustine Anthony and Michelle Nichols Fri May 6, 1:44 am ET
ABBOTTABAD/NEW YORK (Reuters) Extensive surveillance of Osama bin Laden's hideout from a nearby CIA safe house in Abbottabad led to his killing in a Navy SEAL operation, U.S. officials said, a revelation likely to further embarrass Pakistan's spy agency and strain ties.
The U.S. officials, quoted by the Washington Post, said the safe house was the base for intelligence gathering that began after bin Laden's compound was discovered last August, and which was so exhaustive the CIA asked Congress to reallocate tens of millions of dollars to fund it.
"The CIA's job was to find and fix," the Post quoted one U.S. official as saying, using special forces terminology for locating a target. "The intelligence work was as complete as it was going to be, and it was the military's turn to finish the target."
U.S. officials told the New York Times that intelligence gathered from computer files and documents seized at his compound showed bin Laden had for years orchestrated al Qaeda attacks from the Pakistani town, and may have been planning a strike on the U.S. rail sector this year, the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I wonder if Harry Reid and the rail sector are joyously relieved of these military operations, which apparently saved their programs from AlQuada assault.
If there was ever a doubt that Obama is determined to destroy the Republic, they are being removed by his handing of the Osama op.
To quote Mark Levin, "Just stop."
One must ask why that day was he took out? Is UE going back up and Obama knew it? Was he wanting to continue to just watch him on into 2012?
Well, I guess it's not a safe house anymore.
Has anyone read from a reliable source how long our intelligence knew OBL as in this compound?
Can anyone at all STFU back there? JHC, this is ridiculous!
This does harm to our methods. Does harm to our relations with Pakistan. Puts our nation at risk the next time.
We've got the U.N., the Human Rights Commission, the I.C.C., ABC, the Washington Post and probably a line-up a mile long with other entities trying to make us look like a pariah nation, and our officials couldn't keep a secret if their two year old daughter's life depended on it.
We've got the "I've fallen and I can't get up" administration, and it's getting worse by the day.
Put a sock in it. Then Zip-it you dumb asses!
I guess the Pakistan leadership and the ISI was protecting our troops in the safe house too...
Remember how the press complained that the Bush admin. was so "secretive"?
The leaks are going to keep coming because the Administration, Politicians and their aides are beating each other to the press with more salacious details by the day.
Too many people have access to information then.
This president has taken what could have been a feather in his cap, and has given it to others to sharpen and stab in his back.
It humiliates the U.S. in the process, so it's not a lose/lose for the jerk.
I wonder what the odds are, him admitting we committed a crime against humanity here, just to rip this nation apart.
I do remember that BTW.
Golly, I sure hope them spooks registered as a spy site with the local clerk's office in Abbott&Costellabad. What do you suppose a certificate of occupancy for that costs, in a garrison town in Pakistan?
I'm already seeing statements to that effect from some extreme Leftists. Even the other nominal leftists think they are insane. I think if Obama made such a statement, it would be an eye-opening moment for many who have stuck with him on the Left.
I don't know. I'm thinking they may have taken a pass on that. I do like the inclusion of the suburb they lived in, Abbott&Costellabad.
Well, the nation gave the guy enough rope, and he sure didn't disappoint.
Just days ago he was being lauded even by the Left.
Now he's got just about everyone wondering if he can old it together for another week.
With every WH twist and turn, with all the data unnecessarily released, with overstatement upon overstatement...etc., the terrorists will turn the whole thing to their advantage.
"The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose." Henry A. Kissinger
Within hours we hear about a "treasure trove" of info and it's coming at us fast and furious. Think this is by accident? Keeping this front and center is all about 2012.
Clearly not and I wish they would!
A paper pusher at CIA wants public recognition. Professionals would prefer quiet credit, just in the very small circle of those with a need to know. My guess is that no one at DU, Kos, or MSNBC is in that circle and that at most one or two (probably zero) on FR are in that circle - and if they exist here, they wouldn't even hint that they knew.
WHY are we telling them how we did this? This might also help them to track down who tracked Osama. They need to shut up. Obama's Victory Tour must end.
Osama's whereabouts were known for how many years?
A safe house in the neighborhood?
Somebody wanted a big toodoo for lots of publicity rather than one sniper in and out in a day or so.
Obama missed that opportunity because he is the one who said "yes". We all know how these people would have reacted if we could have killed him when Bush was in office.
I never would have imagined that killing Bin Laden would have turned so political the day after 9/11. I was so naive to believe that that was one subject the 'Rats would never dare politicize. But they started a month afterwords and it has been.....disgusting. (for lack of a better description.
I totally agree with your first post, BTW. 100%.
We said the same thing when we caught Hussein and killed Zarqawi in Iraq.
But the difference is that we didn't have to worry that the details of what that "treasure trove" were would leak out of the WH. We need to worry now.
Thanks SubmarinersWife. I'm going to have to tell you that I think Obama would actually take the heat if he could get the U. S. downgraded in the process.
I don't think your logic is faulty at all, but this guy is not your conventional wisdom sort of guy either.
I appreciate your reasoned comments. You may be right. I just think he's looking for any way possible to stop the dominance of the United States on the global stage.
Theres always interesting opposite events occurring, hmm!

Sometimes inspiration hits you in a way you least expect it.
To my surprise, this was exactly the case on Tuesday afternoon.
There is no need to get into grand detail, but I would like to publicly thank Ms. Georgia Kennerly for her very kind and much appreciated thank you card.
I agree with you in hoping that someone somewhere will benefit from last week's column.
Actually that is my hope every week.
Christmas is creeping up on us and I know many of you have not quite finished your shopping.
Money and time may be factors and I'm here to give you a few inexpensive ideas for gifts from the heart.
You're on your own for finding the time.
Handmade gifts can range from third-grader art projects to museum quality items, depending on your talent and, just like in gardening, some folks have a black thumb. While I can't draw or paint, and my woodworking skills resemble a Lincoln Logs meets Superglue disaster, I can cook.
To the editor:
Usually I laugh off Joan Burke's guest columns, but this one deserves some comment.
1. I agree with her comments concerning what Mitch McConnell has said. Let's ditch Mitch and all career politicians.
2. Obama "reach across the aisle?" Doesn't fit with his quote "the Republicans can come along for the ride, but they have to sit in the back of the bus."
To the editor:
The recent article on the replacement of the boiler at Anderson County High School brought back many nostalgic memories for me.
Many of your readers remember, and I hope remember fondly, my father, the later Andrew Bird, who served as school superintendent from 1961 to 1976. As I was born in 1967, I do not remember the events as they happened, and I am sure time and memory have melded my recollections of the story.
To the editor:
Too many incumbents were re-elected to the 112th U.S. Congress.
Ordinarily, that would mean America lost the election, but maybe not this time.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) lit a glimmer of hope when he opposed the ban on earmarks and justified his opposition with the following nonsensical statement: "Banning earmarks doesn't save money."
By Sheila Mitchell
Here's why fools should stick to the business of being fools and leave the serious work to those who know how to do it.
Following the general election, I used this space to blow off steam about those who placed what amounted to garbage in our drop box in an effort to anonymously smear a candidate for judge-executive.
From personal financial documents to outrageous claims about his private life, these people were looking for someone to do their dirty work, apparently for fear of soiling the reputations of their chosen candidate.
What is common courtesy? Well, I can tell you what it's not.
A little over a week ago, I was approached by one of our readers who was particularly riled up about customers who don't tip appropriately at restaurants.
Readily admitting that she wasn't a nice person and saying I could most likely approach the issue with more tact than she would, she suggested I write a column about common courtesy. The little things people do that should get noticed, she said.

The Louisiana business community hopes that the Louisiana Legislature's revival of the Angel Investor Tax Credit Program, Louisiana Revised Statutes 47:6020 (the "AITC Program"), will provide a boost to economic growth among early stage businesses. On June 21, Louisiana lawmakers approved House Bill 597, which brings back the AITC Program that had expired at the end of 2009 after having been in effect since 2005. As explained below, the revived AITC Program does, however, come with a few more requirements and limitations that may reduce or eliminate its benefit to some. The revived AITC Program requires Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's signature to become effective. House Bill 597 has been enrolled and sent to the Governor for his signature, and it is expected that Governor Jindal will sign the bill into law before the July 4th holiday.
Benefit of the Credit
Similar to the old AITC Program, the revived Program offers the private investor a tax credit in exchange for investment in certain early stage wealth-creating businesses located in Louisiana. This AITC Program, like the old, also allows the investor to use each $1.00 of tax credit earned to satisfy $1.00 of his/her/its Louisiana income or franchise liability. However, under this AITC Program, the amount of the tax credit is reduced from 50% of investment to 35%. The old AITC Program offered a refundable credit meaning that any credits that the investor claimed in excess of his/her/its tax liability the State would refund to him/her in cash. The revived AITC Program does away with the refundable credit, but allows the investor to transfer by sale to other Louisiana taxpayers any credits that the investor does not claim against his/her/its tax liability or that exceed his/her/its tax liability. As with the old AITC Program, the revived AITC Program allows the investor to carry unused credits forward for 10 tax years and, if the investor is an entity taxed on a pass-through basis, to allocate the credits to its owners.
Requirements and Limitations to Consider
There are a host of requirements and limitations applicable to the AITC Program that may prevent some Louisiana investors and businesses from taking advantage of it. Some of these restrictions and limitations are being introduced for the first time under the revived AITC Program. Under both the old and the revived Programs, the credits earned with respect to a particular investment are paid out to the investor in equal installments over 5 years. But, under the revived Program, the payout doesn't begin until 24 months after the date on which the State certified the amount of the investment. The revived version also adds two recapture provisions. First, the tax credits will be recaptured if at the close of any calendar year during the five-year period beginning with the first year in which the State certified the credits the business in which the investment was made is not domiciled in Louisiana. Second, the tax credit will also be recaptured if at the close of any calendar year during the three-year period beginning with the first year in which the State certified the credits the investor transfers its ownership interest in the business.
As under the old AITC Program, the revived AITC Program provides that an investment in a business will qualify for the tax credits only if the business is domiciled in Louisiana, has less than 50 employees, has gross sales of less than $10 million, has a net worth of less than $2 million, has its principal business operations in Louisiana, derives more than 50% of its sales from outside Louisiana, and prior to the investment was approved by the State. Businesses engaged primarily in retail sales, real estate, professional services, gaming or gambling, natural resource extraction or exploration or financial services did not qualify under the old program and do not qualify under the new program. Like the old Program, the revived version permits the State to grant credits to an investor on only up to $1 million of investment per year per business and on only up to $2 million of total investment per business. The revived Program retains the overall cap of $5 million on the amount of credits that will be granted by the State in any calendar year. What concerns some who intend to participate in this revived Program is the statutory language that provides the Louisiana Department of Economic Development by rule will establish a method of allocating the cap among eligible investors, including on a first-come, first-served basis. Under the old AITC Program, the Department allocated the credits on a proportional basis, which some believe is a more equitable allocation method.
Other requirements and limitations that the revived AITC Program retains from the old Program include the prohibition against secured or guaranteed investments and against investments funded by illegal activity, the requirement that the investor be accredited (not as determined by the Department of Economic Development, as under the old Program, but as determined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933), and the prohibition against an investor acquiring 50% or more of the business in which he/she invests.
Without further legislative action, the revived AITC Program will terminate on July 1, 2015.
In connection with other credits that are thriving in Louisiana, such as the Film and Entertainment credits and the New Markets Tax Credits, the revived Angel Investor Tax Credit should have a positive impact on the development of start-up businesses in Louisiana. The requirements and limitations, particularly the $5 million cap, may prevent this Program from having as much of an impact as some of the other Louisiana credit programs but should not prevent it from reaching its full potential.

EDC outlines economic development goals for next five years
WILLMAR -- An ambitious set of goals is taking shape for the Kandiyohi County and City of Willmar Economic Development Commission to pursue over the next five years.
At a retreat Thursday at the Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center, members of the EDC's joint operations and joint powers boards began filling in the details for how the five-year plan will be carried out.
Steve Renquist, executive director of the Economic Development Commission, called the plan "the big picture" for the agency's future direction.
"Each and every year there should be some work," he said. "The essential goal should be moving us forward."
At the top of the list: Finding ways to support existing businesses in Kandiyohi County.
"We need to look at existing business because we know that's where our growth is going to occur," said Betty Bollig of the joint operations board.
During a work session that lasted almost four hours, board members identified at least half a dozen specific goals for helping local businesses remain viable and helping them expand.
One key strategy is removing barriers that might exist to business growth, and working to enhance efforts by Kandiyohi County and the city of Willmar to be business-friendly in their regulations, ordinances and practices.
Another high-ranking priority is to assist Rice Memorial Hospital with strengthening its position as a regional hospital.
Bev Dougherty, of the EDC operations board, said she had surgery earlier this year at Rice Hospital and was asked by numerous people why she didn't go out of town for the procedure.
"It was an eye-opener," she said.
Perceptions of the local hospital need to be assessed and improved, she said.
Board member Ron Erpelding agreed there are image problems with the hospital. "I've heard the same thing. It's concerning," he said.
Other areas in which the EDC might be able to work with Rice Hospital could be in the development of extended-stay lodging for patients' families and in the development of a parking ramp, Dougherty said.
Recruitment for the MinnWest Technology Campus remains a goal of the EDC as well, and dovetails with yet another objective: to create a regional biosciences corridor in which Kandiyohi County is a key player.
The EDC also has the commercialization of at least two renewable energy projects and the expansion of three value-added ag businesses as a goal within the next five years.
Increasing the use of the Willmar Municipal Airport is on the list too. Strategies suggested by the board include addressing air cargo, air taxi and charter flights, and developing on-field aviation-related businesses.
Renquist said the list will undergo further tweaking and refining before going back to EDC board members for a final review. The EDC's volunteer committees will be asked to come up with a plan by January for how each of them will help accomplish the goals on the list.
Although the five-year plan is ambitious, it's not unrealistic, Renquist said. "I think we can accomplish many of these goals. ... I feel very good that this is a process that can work and be very productive for our organization."

Executive summary
The Future of Research Symposium, held in Boston in October 2014, was born out of a desire on the part of junior scientists to influence discussions about the future of biomedical research in the United States. Current trainees in academic research represent a talented pool of people contributing to scientific progress. This pool, however, is far larger than the current system is able to support in the long term. As structural forces governing the funding and administration of science push many graduate students and postdocs out of research, the public funds supporting their training are poorly repaid.
We view the current policy makers' reluctance to invest in science as a short-sighted and potentially catastrophic mistake. Furthermore, the current distribution of funding priorities and the way that funding agencies, universities, and journals reward scientists leads directly to inefficiencies within the conduct of research. While scientists continue to advocate for increased funding, they must also create a scientific enterprise that is sustainable with the current resources. A sustainable long-term investment in science, and an appreciation of the young people who carry it out, are essential to the long-term economic and social interests of the US. Specifically, the hyper-competition that we have all experienced, which stunts scientific curiosity and productivity, breeds fabrication and carelessness in the publication of data, and leads to a waste of valuable resources and intellectual capital, must be alleviated. In all of our discussions, we have kept two goals in mind: maximize the potential for wide-ranging and fundamental scientific discovery; and minimize the loss of talented young researchers who can contribute greatly to science.
In addition to voicing our concerns, we junior scientists recognize that we need to become more aware of the issues facing the research enterprise, comprised of academia, industry, publishing, and government. To accomplish this, the initial sessions of the symposium consisted of a series of talks and panel discussions from leaders who have been outspoken about the challenges that science faces. These were followed by workshops designed to elicit the opinions and ideas of participants, largely postdocs and graduate students, on problems and solutions surrounding training, the structure of the research workforce, funding, and incentives and rewards in science. We present the outcomes of those discussions in this report, which represents a united voice of young biomedical scientists, conveying our concerns about the sustainability of the research enterprise and our hopes for change.
From the many ideas presented in the workshops and continued discussions among the organizers, we have distilled the following three principles to guide future activities towards scientific reform:
We recommend increased connectivity among junior scientists and other stakeholders to promote discussions on reforming the structure of the scientific enterprise.
We advocate for increased transparency. This includes the number and career outcomes of trainees, as well as the expectations of the balance between employment and training in individual postdoctoral appointments.
We call for an increased investment in junior scientists, with increased numbers of grants that provide financial independence from Principal Investigator (PI) research grants, and increased accountability for the quality of training as a requirement of funding approval.
Junior scientists must take a larger role in engaging with these issues. As the engine of academic research, junior scientists must be given a voice fitting their role as major stakeholders in the scientific enterprise. Equally, junior scientists must be educated about their role so that they have the context necessary to make a well-informed contribution and to effectively advocate for their interests. By bringing our concerns into the conversation that guides policy, the dialogue will be enriched with diversity and fresh perspectives. We encourage our peers to continue this conversation, engage their colleagues, and to get involved in shaping the Future of Research.

The state government has issued a revised set of rules related to fees and admissions at the education degree (B.Ed/ M.Ed) colleges for 2012-13. The new rules provide that the Shikshan Shulka Samiti (fee regulatory authority) will be the final authority for deciding the fees of unaided B.Ed/M.Ed colleges. However, the fee panel authorities as well as the office-bearers of the Association of Managements of Unaided Teachers' Education Colleges in Maharashtra (AMUTECM) insist that the government resolution (GR) specifying the revised rules, is ambiguous, especially on matters relating to fixation of fees.
The matter assumes significance in the wake of the fee panel's move to 'hold back' 556 fee revision proposals submitted by B.Ed/ M.Ed and physical education (B.P.Ed/ M.P.Ed) colleges for year 2011-12, following the National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE) regulations notified in August 2010. The regulations provide that the state government should set up a separate mechanism for fixation of fees of these colleges. Also, the fee revision proposals are forwarded to the competent authority established either by the state government, the central government or the UGC. The fee panel had sought a clarification from the state government on who should fix the fees of education and physical education degree colleges. Of the 556 'held back' proposals, 402 proposals are from B.Ed colleges; 47 from B.P.Ed; 12 from M.P.Ed and 95 from MEd colleges. Sadashiv Shivdas, joint secretary to department of higher and technical education (H & TE), issued a couple of GRs on March 15 specifying the rules for BEd and MEd colleges. Both the GRs provide a detailed explanation on how to ascertain the eligibility of candidates for B.Ed/ M.Ed courses; conduct of common entrance tests; preparation of merit list; distribution of seats; university-wise distribution of seats; management and minority quotas; fees and other charges. The GRs state that unaided colleges will have to charge fees as fixed by the panel. Director of higher education Prakash Gaikwad told TOI, "Our last GR on matters relating to the fees is fairly clear. We haven't deviated from this GR."However, P. E. Gaikwad, office secretary of the fee fixation panel, said, "The revised rules are not binding on the fee panel. In fact, for us, the position remains unchanged and we are still not sure whether the fee panel can decide the fees of education/physical education colleges in the wake of the NCTE regulations." Devendra Joshi, who heads the centralised admission process (CAP) of the AMUTECM, said, "The GR is totally ambiguous and we have decided to approach the fee fixation panel on April 18 through the admissions regulation committee, which has restrained the unaided education/physical education colleges from effecting fresh admissions unless their fees are approved."The AMUTECM is the umbrella organisation for over 275 colleges. It conducts a parallel common entrance test, known as Asso-CET, and the Asso-CAP. "It's not just the fees, but the revised rules also put unreasonable conditions on unaided colleges regarding filling of the 20% management quota seats only with those students, who have cleared the government-conducted CET instead of the Asso-CET ," said Joshi. Higher education director Gaikwad has, however, justified the rule on the grounds that last year most of the unaided colleges had arbitrarily filled their management quota seats by admitting students from government conducted as well as the association conducted CETs. "This had compelled the admission regulation committee to not to approve such admissions," he said.

Burns: If No Crawford, I Will Chase Another World Title
By Chris McKenna, courtesy of The Daily Star
RICKY BURNS insists he has no intentions of quitting as he eyes up another world-title shot in 2014.
The Scottish lightweight, 30, lost his WBO title to Terence Crawford on Saturday night.
Crawford claimed a unanimous points win over Burns to hand the two-weight world champion his first defeat in seven years.
Burns is keen for a rematch with the slick switch-hitting American but promoter Eddie Hearn is likely to send his man down a different path.

The Scot would have to go to America to take on Crawford but Hearn wants his man to fight in Glasgow again in June.
That could then set up a world-title shot against IBF champ Miguel Vazquez or another of the main belt holders late in 2014.
Burns said: "I'd love to get a rematch with Terence Crawford and fight him in America.
"If I don't get a rematch with Terence I will chase another world title.
"There are a lot of winnable fights out there and they won't be as tricky as Terence.
"I will be back, this is just a setback. There are some big fights out there for me."
Burns felt the judges' scorecards were too much in favour of Crawford owing to what happened in his last fight against Raymundo Beltran.
The Scot earned a controversial draw against Beltran in September after breaking his jaw earlier in the fight.
Crawford was a clear winner with all three judges giving him the fight by wide margins with scores of 116-112, 117-111 and 116-112.
Burns added: "I did think it was a lot closer than the judges had it. It was going to go against me because of the judging in the last fight. But the better man won."
I think Burns may have had his run at that level to be honest. Maybe he can rebuild and find a bit of success in another route or whatever but something tells me he is done at that level. His…Comment by SnakeVen0m on 03-03-2014

Man With Bloody Hands At Scene Of London Killing: 'You People Will Never Be Safe'
Amateur footage has captured a disturbing video of a man on the scene of the London killing with his hands covered in blood as he talks to the camera with intense fury whilst holding two knifes. The video shows the immediate aftermath of the killing of a British soldier near the army barracks on Wednesday.
British Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency meeting as a result of the crime, which indicates that it could be a concern of national security. At least one man has been confirmed as dead but two other people were shot by officers, and later sent to hospital to be treated for their injuries.
The scene was filled with chaos as authorities' tightened security by closing off streets as helicopters hovered above. Further details of the assault and motivation for the murder have yet been revealed.
