Compromise is not always achievable. Sometimes, what the other side wants is just plain wrong or impossible.
Just today, my neighbor pointed out that there was a hornet's nest in one of my trees near my property line. First, I tried to reach a compromise with the hornets. I told them that there were trees in the back of my property in a wooded section. They were welcome to move their base of operations to this wooded section and we could live in peaceful co-existence.
They told me to buzz off.
A quick trip to Wal-Mart provided me with a couple of cans of wasp and hornet killer — end of discussion.
Since the tea party people came to Congress, there's a new paradigm in Washington. The wasps (old-style Republicans and RINOs) and hornets (Democrats and progressives) are dealing with people who know that the Congress of the past 80 years needs to move out of the way.
It can be done peaceably through retirement. Or it can be done more forcefully at the ballot box, if those with stingers won't leave on their own.

Brodeur's heart is in playing next season if body allows, but knows it might not be with Devils
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur said right now his heart is telling him to come back for another season after this one. The decision, however, will ultimately come down to what the 41-year-old goaltender's body is telling him.
"My heart is," Brodeur said today. "My body could be a different story. We'll see."
And if Brodeur does play in 2014-15, he acknowledges the Devils might not be the best fit for him with his contract expiring after this season and Cory Schneider in line to be the team's full-time No. 1 goaltender.
It all depends on how he feels physically, though.
"That's something that more and more I see, regardless of if it's wherever because I'm done after this year with my contract," he said. "Depending on what's going to happen in the next few months, if I feel my body's (willing), I'll see what's best scenario for me if it's back in New Jersey or somewhere else. That's something the future will bring. But right now my heart is here to try to finish strong and prove that I can still be a big impact in hockey games."
Brodeur, who will turn 42 on May 6, has hinted before about the possibility of him having to move on if he wants to continue playing beyond this season. By acquiring Schneider last summer from Vancouver, the Devils set up their succession plan for to move ahead eventually with him as their full-time No. 1 goaltender. Schneider, 27, will be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2014-15 season and he will want to be a full-time No. 1 somewhere.
And if Schneider is the full-time No. 1, will Brodeur want to stick around as a part-time back-up? Just as important will be whether the Devils want Brodeur as their backup or want 24-year-old Keith Kinkaid or another goaltender clearly defined in that role behind Schneider.
Brodeur can see the writing on the wall that the No. 1 job will be Schneider's soon. When Schneider started three consecutive games in October, Brodeur declared he was "in the net to stay." That turned out not to be the case then, but now Schneider appears to be getting another chance to grab the No. 1 job.
After winning his last two starts, including a 2-1 overtime victory over Florida Saturday, Schneider will start his third in a row tonight in Toronto and start on consecutive nights for only the second time this season. Since giving up a season-worst five goals in a 5-2 loss in Chicago on Dec. 23, Schneider has allowed only four goals on 110 shots over his last four starts for a 0.98 goals-against average and a .964 save percentage
Brodeur said he understood the decision to stick with Schneider again tonight.
"He's playing well," Brodeur said. "It's kind of one of these things and he's been the hot hand the last few games. For sure, when you think about back to back you think you're going to get one of them, but I guess at 27 years old I was playing back-to-back all the time too."
Brodeur has not played on consecutive nights this season, but is body has been holding up pretty well so far. After battling minor injuries over the past few seasons that kept him out for short stretches , he's managed to stay healthy so far in 2013-14.
"Put it this way, the last few years I always got hurt by November," Brodeur said. "We're in January and I'm still kicking, so it's good.
In 25 starts this season, Brodeur is 12-9-4 with a 2.39 goals-against average, .902 save percentage and three shutouts. And he's clearly still having fun. He knows he just has to be patient and see when his next chancet play will come.
"I'm having fun playing the game," he said. "I'm not having fun sitting on the bench, that's for sure. But, the situation might change. You never know. So, you've just got to keep a good attitude about it and we'll see what the next couple months will bring me."
And, after that, he'll decide whether he will come back next season.
"We'll see," he said. "I'm going to go through this season and go from there, but if the body holds up that's going to be, I think, more of the guideline because I'm enjoying what I'm doing right now. It's kind of fun of go to the rink and stuff and sometimes on days off I'm like, 'This is going to retirement. It's not fun.' So, the body will tell me if I'm allowed to get myself to be able to play again. That's the bottom line."
Brodeur said his goal for the second half of the season is to, "Try to make the playoffs."
"It's a team thing, but that's the bottom line," he said. "Just getting another chance to be a part of another Stanley Cup run."
Brodeur experienced a similar changing of the guard with the Team Canada, that's why he hasn't minded at all that he wasn't part of the conversation about the Olympic team. In fact, he's very much looking forward to having the time off in Florida during the Olympic break.
"It's great," he said. "I've done a lot for Team Canada and in return they did a lot for me in my career, but it's time to move on to something else. The time off will be well appreciated this year."
Brodeur said again that he would have been glad to go to Sochi if he was selected. He pretty much knew that wouldn't be the case, though, since he was replaced by Roberto Luongo as Canada's No. 1 during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
"If they wanted me, I would have went there, but I knew the direction I wanted to take," Brodeur said. "It's like anything. We know when it's time for another goalie to take the pole like Luongo did. It's his time now to shine."
Brodeur that the progression to younger goaltenders on Team Canada is "normal" with its management following the last Olympics.
"To me, playing international hockey is not something I was looking forward to after I got pulled out of the net in the Olympics. That's the bottom line," Brodeur said. "There's a lot of good young goalies out there that are playing well and they're playing a lot of games. I haven't played a lot of games in the last three years, so it makes a big difference too."

Lauderdale officially announces run for Island County commissioner
Charging that Island County government needs a "course correction," Robert "Jeff" Lauderdale officially announced Saturday that he will be running as a Republican candidate in the 2012 race to represent District 1 on the board of county commissioners.
Lauderdale made his announcement at the Central Whidbey Republican Women's annual summer barbecue at Smugglers Cove on Aug. 13.
"Island County is a wonderful place to live and with that comes the huge responsibility of good stewardship," Lauderdale said in his announcement.
"We have a remarkable environment to protect, roads to build and maintain, laws to enforce, public health to ensure, and justice to render. At the same time however, we are at a point in history where we need to cut back the cost of government. Difficult local decisions are coming down the road and logic and science must be applied to all of the challenges."
"This election will be about a course correction for county government," Lauderdale continued. "We need to recognize that for every dollar spent by government, there is a dollar received in revenue from taxes, fees, etc. We need to realize that every dollar spent on the environment using inconclusive and/or erroneous information is a dollar we no longer have available to effectively protect it."
Lauderdale, 60, is a Coupeville resident. He retired to Whidbey Island in 2006.
The announcement was not unexpected.
Lauderdale registered as a candidate in the race with the state Public Disclosure Commission on July 19. His campaign has raised $1,000 since early July; half of that amount coming from a personal loan Lauderdale made to his campaign for next year's primary.
Lauderdale is the first candidate to announce a run for a county seat in the 2012 Election.
Debbie Cunningham, Lauderdale's campaign manager, said his announcement was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of supporters at this weekend's event.
District 1 starts near the southern end of the greater Oak Harbor area and includes Central Whidbey and the entire South End.
The incumbent in the race, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, has not declared if she will seek a second term.
Price Johnson, a Democrat, is a former South Whidbey School Board member and the first woman elected to the board of commissioners in Island County.
The three-member board of commissioners currently has two Democrats — Price Johnson and Angie Homola — and one Republican, Kelly Emerson of Camano Island.

UPDATE: Police say 86-year-old man died in Friday's fatal fire.
A West New York man died from injuries he sustained during a two-alarm fire that began in the bedroom of his second floor apartment Friday night, fire officials said.
Firefighters responded to the fire at 6100 Adam Street, an eight-story senior housing building near 61st Street, at 7:47 p.m. and declared the fire under control at 8 p.m., North Hudson Regional Fire Chief Frank Montagne said.
The victim was found unconscious in his bedroom during a search by firefighters who forced their way into the apartment, Montagne said, adding that firefighters administered CPR in the building's first-floor lobby before he was taken by EMS crews to Palisade Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
Officials did not release information about the victim's identity.
Montagne said the fire was confined to the bedroom and that the apartment suffered smoke damage. He said an investigation is ongoing adding that a preliminary investigation indicates the fire began near the victim's mattress.
No residents were displaced and all were allowed to return to their apartments, Montagne said.
At the scene this afternoon, Luisa Petroivch, 87, who rents a third-story studio apartment in the building, said the fire was among the worst she has seen since she moved in.
"We have had multiple fire but nothing like this," said Petroivch, who has lived in the building for 19-years. She added that she was up most of the night because of the strong smell of smoke.
Petroivch said she didn't know much about the victim but described him as a quiet man who lived alone.

Five stores could be selling recreational pot in South Kitsap
In the near future, at least five stores could be selling recreational marijuana in South Kitsap — three or four of those stores could be in Port Orchard.
On May 2, the state's Liquor Control Board announced the results of marijuana retail store lotteries to the public. Out of the 40 lotteries applicants for at-large stores in Kitsap County, 25 have Port Orchard addresses.
According to the Liquor Control Board, there is a quota of 10 for marijuana stores to be located in Kitsap County — two in Bremerton, one in Bainbridge Island and seven throughout the county.
"It appears four of the top 15 are in the city," said Port Orchard Development Director Nick Bond.
Because there was so many applications, the Liquor Control Board had to hold multiple lotteries. Last week, the applicants were notified of their standing on each ranked-ordered list produced by 75 lotteries that were conducted by Washington State University and verified by independent auditor, according to the news release.
The Liquor Control Board reported 1,174 applicants were included in the lottery and that 75 jurisdictions required a lottery while 47 jurisdictions did not require a lottery.
The agency posted the business names and rankings from lotteries for 334 legal marijuana retail licenses for the state on its website. The applicants who passed were entered into the lottery and ranked by draw. Being named on the list does not guarantee a license.
Among the top seven lottery results with proposed Port Orchard addresses are:
• No. 2, Crockpot, 1703 SE Sedgwich Rd.
• No. 4, Legal Marijuana Superstore, 4211 Feigley Rd. West
• No. 5, Greenx3, 1460 SE Sedgwich Rd.
• No. 6, Greenway, 4851 Geigher Rd. SE
• No. 7, T&D Enterprises, 6307 Bethel Rd. SE
The four stores located in the city are Crockpot, GreenX3, Greenway, and G4 Partners, which would be located at 1283 SE Sedgwich Rd.
In November, Bond told the council it was possible that the city could have one, maybe two stores selling recreational marijuana.
"A city business license will be issued for recreational marijuana uses that fully comply with state and local laws," he said.
The pre-evaluation process included verification of owners' personal criminal history, their age being 21 or older, that they are state residents, that their business was formed in the state, and that they have a location address with a right to real property.
The 75 lotteries took place April 21-25, and produced ordered lists of applicants that the agency will use to continue its retail licensing process.
The agency contracted with the Social and Economic Sciences Research Center of Washington State University and the accounting firm for Washington's Lottery, Kraght-Snell of Seattle, to independently produce rank-ordered lists of applicants in each jurisdiction where a lottery is necessary.
Being identified as the apparent successful applicant is not a guarantee that the selected applicant will receive a license. There are multiple requirements for licensure such as the applicant must pass a criminal history and financial investigation as well as have a location that is not within 1,000 feet of a school, park or other areas specified by Initiative 502 as places where children congregate.
If an applicant is within the maximum allotted number of stores allotted for that jurisdiction but fails to pass the licensing process, the Liquor Control Board will withdraw the application and move to the next license application on the list.
The agency has begun processing the retail applications. Licensing staff will continue to process producers, processors and retailers simultaneously. As of April 30, the Liquor Control Board has issued 25 producer and processor licenses.
The agency announced it will begin issuing retail licenses no later than the first week of July.
Four of the 40 applicants in the lottery — Legal Marijuana Superstore, MJ's, Kitsap Marijuana Connection and Pacific Cannabis Company — listed their address as 4211 Feigley Rd. West, near Gorst. Kitsap Management and JCB Management are listed at 200 Bravo Terrance (near Dairy Queen), while Mari Jane's, along with Greenx3, are listed at 1460 SE Sedgwich Rd., near the Bethel Road intersection.
Mikhail Carpenter, director of communications for the Liquor Control Board, said the reason there are the multiple applications at the same address is because landlords have signed a letter of intent with several applicants.
"Applicants had to have the landlord sign a letter of intent to rent or lease space in a building for the application process," said Carpenter. "In some instances, one landlord was approached by different applicants."
Carpenter said applicants ranked in the lottery face a rigorous background check concerning matters including criminal backgrounds, financial resources and the viability of a business plan.

State Rep. Drew Hansen will be returning to Olympia if Tuesday night's vote tally stays constant in subsequent counts.
The Democrat incumbent was leading Republican challenger James M. Olsen in the first vote count on Nov. 6 in the District 23 House race for Position 2. Hansen was in front with 59 percent of the vote, while Olsen had 40 percent.
Hansen's advantage was much improved over his showing in the Primary Election, where Hansen finished first with 52 percent of the vote in a three-way race. Olsen picked up 40 percent of the vote in the primary.

Ex-County Commissioner Gary White, now awaiting bribery Trial No. 2, has split with his lawyer.
White was convicted in Trial No. 1 after a sewer contractor told jurors he gave White envelopes full of cash to keep him happy.
Geesh. Perry Mason would sweat that one. But White cut a deal for a new trial, and now, as he tries to put it off, he is left representing himself.
This, no lie, is how he signed a federal motion to delay Trial No. 2:
Gary White, Innocent and Persecuted Victim of Alice Martin's U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama
I guess you really do get what you pay for.
Which is nothing. Nothing but more tired stories of victimization and persecution -- with little talk of evidence.
Of course ex-Gov. Don Siegelman and former local hero Richard Scrushy made the persecution defense all the rage. Those two had a day in appellate court this week, but it's unclear what will happen.
And a group of ministers loyal to Mayor Larry Langford -- some who practically bowed to him during his sackcloth and ashes extravaganza -- have put out feelers to see who will, when the time comes, march to turn the indicted mayor into a martyr.
One march forward, two steps back.
And yes, supporters of indicted Democrats and black elected officials have long demonized Martin as a pawn of the Bush Justice Department, if not the spawn of the Justice Department, charging she focused investigations on blacks and Democrats.
But even if you buy it, which I don't, where does Gary White fit in? How does a white suburban Republican jump aboard the victim train?
It would be easier without those cash-stuffed envelopes.
And that's the problem with the victim defense. Evidence.
Former prosecutor Walter E. Braswell put it best. That's ironic, I guess, because Braswell is the guy who used to be White's lawyer.
"People may well be skeptical about Siegelman's prosecution," Braswell said. "But if you hand your enemies a stick, don't be surprised if they beat the hell out of you with it."
A stick, whether it be a cash-stuffed envelope, a motorcycle or a closet full of clothes, is a stick. And any good prosecutor -- or reporter for that matter -- will chase it every time.
Braswell this week filed a reply to White's motion, disputing several points. In it he described how White's wife, Judy White, wanted a strategy that focused on "a political conspiracy" between Martin and Commission President Bettye Fine Collins. She thought of us here at The Birmingham News as "enablers" to the conspiracy, it said.
Braswell, bless him, wrote that he found "nothing in the record or pleadings" to substantiate that.
But I've got news for him. And you. If finding stuff out and putting it in the paper is a conspiracy, then give me keys to the black helicopter.
If it is conspiracy to make people aware of wrongdoing by their elected officials, then give me the secret handshake.
I'm in. In for the duration, though politics and politicians will come and go.
There is still work to do. For there's still more corruption around this place. More, actually, than you can shake a stick at.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Two people in Kalamazoo County have died from flu-related illnesses this season.
Linda Vail, director of the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department, said in an email that both victims were over age 50.
A flu-related death was also reported in Van Buren County last week.
One of the deaths was Mark Sanford, 60, of Kalamazoo, who was hospitalized and on life support at the time of his death, said his daughter, Brandie Rolland, of Kalamazoo.
"The doctor said it was H1N1," Rolland said. "The flu virus attacked his lungs so viciously that there was nothing that he could do. They said he would never recover."
Sanford died Jan. 15 after spending 11 days in the hospital, Rolland said.
"The doctor kept repeating and repeating how this year was so bad for the flu and that there were people in their 20s that were healthy and affected in this way," Rolland said.
Flu cases in the Kalamazoo area have been on the rise and county health officials have urged citizens to get the flu shot and regularly wash hands.
Rolland said that her father had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which could have been why he had so much difficulty recovering. She said does not think her father had a flu shot.
Sanford, a car buff who worked in construction, died with his three children at his side.
Rolland said services for her father have not yet been finalized.

Steven Scarborough, the Michigan man who claimed gay panic led him to kill Victor Manious, has been found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. [MLive]
Wow. That was completely inappropriate, DVLARIES. Being a native of Grand Rapids, MI, I am happy justice prevailed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Victor Manious.
Why only manslaughter? Why not murder? It sounds like murder would have been the more appropriate charge. I just hope this creep draws the maximum sentence permitted and never walks free again.
In response to Bob R: Why only murder? Why not hate-based murder?
Well… Not really "guilty!"
The jury seems to have bought into the defense claim of "gay panic" because Scarborough was convicted only of "voluntary manslaughter" for the killing that he admitted to. The jury seems to have actually considered full acquittal.
The important result is, in fact: "Not Guilty!" of the primary charge of felony murder.
I thought manslaughter was when you killed someone by accident, for example, if you were driving recklessly and hit someone. Lately it seems like it's murder if you kill a man but manslaughter if you kill a gay man.
the jury actually considered a higher verdict but they couldn't figure out if the sexual advance was true or not and went with voluntary manslaughter.
Scarborough was charged with what Michigan calls "felony murder" which sent him to prison for life (no parole possible, apparently). The jury did not find him guilty of that serious charge. Instead, they convicted him of what Michigan law calls "voluntary manslaughter."
Here's a general definition from a search: "Voluntary manslaughter occurs when a person intentionally kills another person after 'adequate provocation'; that is, there has been action that was sufficient to incite an 'ordinary person' to 'sudden and intense passion' such that s/he loses self control. It should be noted that the time between provocation and the killing should not be long enough for the passion to have cooled off."
(Michigan appears to follow this definition.)
So, in other words, the jury was saying that Scarborough killed Manious, but it was understandable. I.e. They bought the "gay panic" argument.
Missing a phrase in the last comment: which _would have sent him to prison for life_
He could end up with only a few years, although the judge (unlike the jury) will be able to consider his prior felony convictions in sentencing which will probably give Scarborough near the max for the manslaughter charge.
The jury couldn't figure out if the sexual advance was true or not? So what? So what if there was a sexual advance?
I would love to see a jury be as gracious to a woman on trial for killing a man for his sexual advances toward her. Geesh!
Exactly, Kevin. The defense attorney argued that Scarborough was wholly justified in beating a man to death for what he characterized as an assault. (more than just an advance in the defense story)
The jury seems to have bought it, partly because the attorney characterized Scarborough as an innocent bumpkin who was doing what his religion had taught him to do. It was a "Jesus made me do it" defense.
And it worked only because Manious could be characterized as "gay" in some way. Defense apparently didn't even try to explain why Scarborough had attacked and robbed a few guys only days earlier.
Prosecutors couldn't mention that he has a long criminal history.
robinev is right. This is no victory. Being convicted only of voluntary manslaughter means the gay panic defense worked. It means the jury believed Scarborough was "provoked" by his gay victim and that one some level his killing was understandable.
The provocation defense is one of those horrible legal doctrines that unfortunately still exists. It has most frequently been applied to give husbands who killed their wives more lenient sentences.

The Wall Street Journal said flight records show that executives at Birmingham-based Regions Financial Corp., Bank of America Corp., Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. had used corporate jets for personal use throughout the financial crisis. The Journal reviewed Federal Aviation Administration flight records of 14 federally aided banks that register planes in their own names.
Regions received $3.5 billion from the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program on Nov. 14.
Twelve days later, according to the Wall Street Journal report, two Regions jets left Birmingham within minutes of each other, bound for a small airport in West Virginia.
The destination was the historic Greenbrier resort, where Regions' chief executive Dowd Ritter and his family spent four nights over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to the Journal, which cited a person familiar with his accommodations.
The round-trip flights cost the bank about $17,700, according to a calculation by a consulting firm, Conklin & de Decker Aviation Information, the paper said.
Regions spokesman Tim Deighton today declined to comment on the trip cited in the Journal's report. But he said it is company policy for Ritter to use company-owned jets for business or personal travel to ensure his safety.
The use of corporate jets has become controversial during the credit crisis as critics of large companies question the cost of owning and operating the aircraft, especially for businesses receiving government help.
In November, executives of automakers Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC were sharply criticized for flying on corporate jets to Washington to ask Congress for federal bailout money.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration expressed displeasure over Citigroup's plans to buy a new corporate jet after receiving $45 billion in government bailout money, and the bank reversed course and canceled the order.
The Journal noted that other banks have curbed or halted the use of company planes for personal use, including Marshall & Ilsley Corp. and Synovus Financial Corp.

Swamp Cabbage formed in 2001 with veteran guitarist Walter Parks who built an international career as the lead guitarist for Woodstock legend Richie Havens.
Parks, who recently marked his debut as a solo artist with the release of his self-titled album earlier this year, formed the group along with bassist Jim DeVito and drummer Jagoda as a way to explore his southern musical influences.
The group sounds like a southern rock band but carries the mindset of a jazz, blues or classical trio, with similarities to New Orleans jazz.
P4 consists of mutual friends David Allgood (Bama Theatre manager; on vocals, guitar and bass), Mike Orlin (vocals, guitar and bass) and Joey Dukes (drums). The band members have been friends and musical partners for more than 30 years, previously playing together on the local club scene in Atlanta in the mid-1970s and planning to continue into the future.

Facing Prison, Miguel Martinez Is Very Sorry. But It's Not All His Fault.
Ex-city councilman Miguel Martinez has written a wrenching and apologetic letter to government probation officials saying that he cried himself to sleep the night after he pleaded guilty last July to pocketing some $106,000.
"How and why I threw away such a fulfilling job is as unbelievable to me as it is to my family, friends, and former constituents," writes the former lawmaker from northern Manhattan.
He also says he turned himself in "when I realized I could not [sic] longer live with myself." He writes that he would have "given anything to quietly pay back the money I had wrongly received and to continue serving my community as a councilman. But I did not run from reality. I went to the government, confessed what I had done, and agreed to plead guilty."
It's a good, strong missive, particularly from someone who is facing somewhere between 57 and 71 months in a federal pen when he faces U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty for sentencing next Tuesday.

Problem is, federal prosecutors say Martinez is still in denial.
Martinez only copped a plea after he knew the feds and investigators from the city's Department of Investigation were already breathing down his neck, according to a memo filed this week by assistant U.S. attorneys Brent Wible and Glen Kopp.
They also say he is deflecting blame for one of his biggest rip-offs - funneling fake invoices to the council for reimbursement - onto an unnamed co-conspirator dubbed "CC-1."
"Martinez's letter to the Probation Office reads more like an attempt to minimize his criminal conduct than to acknowledge it fully," write the prosecutors.
Martinez's own description of the episode is decidedly passive. He says he "turned a blind eye" to the fact that his pal "probably was no longer providing the services for which he was sending invoices." He adds that he "mindlessly continued to sign the invoices he submitted to my office."
Meanwhile, some of the money for the bogus consulting work somehow made it into his own pocket: "Over time I understood that some of that money was routed back to me."
Prosecutors say the former council member's "self-serving characterization" of the scheme "is particularly galling." They add: "That Martinez could have been unaware that he received tens of thousands of dollars via fraudulent invoices he personally approved, some of which had no connection to CC-1 at all, defies common sense."
According to prosecutors, Martinez started filing fake invoices shortly after taking council office in 2002. They also say that after his friend moved out of state in 2005, Martinez started sending in more phoney bills to council officials. All told, 29 faked invoices worth $51,000 were approved for payment by Martinez over a six-year period.
Copies of the invoices, attached to the prosecution memo, show they were generally bare, one-line descriptions of the alleged work. A December, 2005 bill for $3,000 reads: "Media consulting and outreach housing and tenant organizing."
The feds say Martinez also carefully sought to insulate himself from a separate scam in which he stole $40,000 in fees that a developer of affordable housing had paid to a not for profit group in Washington Heights where Martinez's sister, ex-wife, and CC-1 were all involved. "Within days" after the developer paid fees to the group in 2005, Martinez had $20,000 deposited into the bank account of a shell corporation set up by his sister.
"Martinez's caution demonstrates both that he carefully planned how to commit these crimes and that he was not merely led into criminal conduct by others," wrote the prosecutors.
Martinez, 39, says in his letter that his days are spent doing volunteer work for the elderly, and caring for two young sons. "Some day, I will have to explain these very public mistakes" to them, he wrote. "I want to be able to tell them I accepted responsibility for my mistakes and learned from them, but refused to let my life be defined by them, and instead found other ways to give back to my community."

Rep. Pete Olson
Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to interact with some of the brightest students in the 22nd Congressional District who serve on my Congressional Youth Advisory Council. I have gained much by listening to the high school students who are the future of this great nation. They provide important insight into the concerns of our younger constituents and hopefully get a better sense of the importance of being an active participant in the political process. Many of the students have written short essays on a variety of topics and I am pleased to share these with my House colleagues.
Amanda Kerstman is a senior at Clear Springs High School in Galveston County, Texas. Her essay topic is: In your opinion, why is it important to be involved in the political process?
As a citizen of the United States of America all citizens are given the right to participate in the political process whether it would be to run for office, or vote in a primary election. Having the power as a citizen to participate in the political process is a right given by the United States, but many people in the present time take this as a chore to participate rather than a privilege. The voter turnout in Houston, Texas has decreased every year because of people not willing to go vote in any election, whether it is for a district judge, or an election for the president. Our constitution was built from people who wanted to shape the new world into a country where people have the right to choose who they want to run their country. It is the citizens responsibility to keep our country a republic and vote for people to represent us. The key to make sure that people will stay politically active is to make sure the youth of the United States stays informed and up to date with what goes on in politics. Once they are informed they have the knowledge to form their own opinion and allow them to take action in supporting a candidate or coming up with their own ideas to run for office one day. Whether a person is inspired to run for local office or for president all helps the political process. Having the Congressional Youth Advisory Council is a great way to get the youth of America involved in political decision-making by letting them able to share their opinion to political leaders. It also allows the youth to be informed on what is going on in congress or in political decision making directly for a political official. Being a part of the political process is very important for American citizens be involved in because if we aren't, we will let down every man that fought for our political freedom.

619 - RangeFinder for CanAttack
Hi, while leveling an alt I encountered the following problem:
The current check methods are not sufficient for neutral, i. e. "yellow", mobs.
If I use 'class' I almost have to stand next to the mob for its unit frame to fade in.
If I use 'custom_spell' with a harmful spell, e.g. "Fireball", the target unit frame will be faded in correctly, but the player frame will always be faded.
@ Solution @
can_attack = L['Can attack']
elseif check_method == "can_attack" then if UnitCanAttack("player", unit) then if enemy_is_in_range(unit) then return 1 elseif enemy_is_in_long_range(unit) then return (db.out_of_range_opacity + frame.layout_db.opacity_max) / 2 else return db.out_of_range_opacity end else return db.out_of_range_opacity end

Ten years ago, the UFC's lightweight division was in dire straits. Limited to a handful of cards every year, the company took a hard look at a weight class that had failed to take MMA fans by the proverbial throat and cut bait.
Today, that seems unthinkable. Not only does the UFC have so many cards to fill that it's opened the promotion up to both men below 135 pounds and even women, but the lightweight division is so stacked with talent that we've included 20 fighters on this list rather than the usual 15.
Lightweights are now part of the old guard, firmly established thanks mainly to the force of one man's charisma: BJ Penn. The Hawaiian's is a shadow that still looms large, even as his immediate successor has given way, in turn, to a new generation of fighter.
These new lightweights are Penn's progeny, like him a combination of crisp stand-up, solid wrestling and fight-ending grappling. All that's missing is his unyielding will and palpable love of combat. That's what captured fans' hearts and remains the difference between grudging respect and passionate advocacy.
The 155-pound division is still looking for the next BJ Penn. Can UFC champion Anthony Pettis fill that role? Can anyone? For hundreds of little guys trying to make a living in the fight game, millions of dollars ride on the answer.
This list is not a ranking based on past performance. MMA math does not apply here. Instead, these ratings are a snapshot of where these athletes stand right now compared to their lightweight peers. We've scored each fighter on a 100-point scale based on their abilities in four key categories. You can read more about how the ratings are determined here.

The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex went to the dogs on March 9.
Barks and puppy whines filled the Main Hall during PawsAbilities as dogs greeted each other, tails wagging. Smart phones snapped photos of precious pooches at every turn.
The canines came in all sizes and breeds, including pit bulls, pomeranians and great danes.
PawsAbilities is an annual festival geared for dogs and the people who love them. Benefitting the Susquehanna Service Dogs, the event includes a canine olympics, costume contest and a gigantic pool for dogs to jump into.
Along the walls of the event were vendors hawking dog treats as well as organizations trying to raise awareness on various topics. One of those was Bad Press, a group devoted to fighting breed defamation. At PawsAbilities they were trying to changing people's perceptions on pit bulls.
"They are a very people oriented breed," said Lori Zimmer, president of Bad Press. The breed, in her opinion, has gotten a very bad and undeserved reputation. She explained how when the breed originated it was a popular family dog, known for being good around children. Helen Keller owned a pit bull named Sir Thomas, she said. The Little Rascal's Pete the Pup was a pit bull. It's only in the last decades that the pit bull has been deemed dangerous and vicious, she said.
At PawsAbilities, Zimmer was sharing this information and offering people the chance to pet a pit bull.
There were several pit bull fans and dogs at the event - including a pit bull, basset hound mix who competed in the cutest dog competition.
The winner of that event, however, was Virgil, an 8 week old puppy whose golden fur was all fluff and fuzz.
Virgil is being raised as a seeing eye dog by Donna Boyd of Chambersburg, so he is more than just a pretty face.
Being cute is hard work though, after getting his ribbon all Virgil wanted to do was nap in his owners arms.
Virgil was far from the only puppy present at the event, which - with its abundance of strangers, other dogs and new smells - proved a good training ground for dog behavior.
Beauregard Longstreet Monongahela Lee, or Beau, is a year old bloodhound from New Bloomfield. This was his first PawsAbilities - and the first one for his owners.
"I'm 63 and I've never had a dog before," explained his owner, Pat Ray. "I just said one day that I had to have a dog."
She bought Beau the day after seeing his photo online. "I saw his puppy picture and he just captured me," she said.
It was love at first sight.
Beau sat docilely as Ray talked, occasionally sniffing the ground, eyes constantly checking out the people that passed by. Ray explained how she hoped to put Beau's nose to work one day helping to find lost children.
"That's our dream," she said.
On March 9, the idea was to see how well he would do in a crowded and foreign environment.
"It's been really good for him," Ray said of the event.
Ray herself had been converted to PawsAbilities fandom.
"It's fantastic, I'll never miss it," she said. "I think I'll even come back tomorrow."
Pawsabilities runs 9 a.m.-4 p.m. March 9 and 10 at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Tickets are $10 and $5 for children ages 4-12 for two-day tickets. For more information, check out www.pawsabilities.net.

Friday's game between No. 6 Florida and No. 9 LSU at McKethan Stadium was suspended in the bottom of the fifth with the Gators holding a 7-0 lead because of heavy rains and unplayable field conditions.
The teams will play the regularly scheduled Game 2 of the series at 2 p.m. Saturday, live on ESPNU, and then resume Game 1 30 minutes later.
The Gators took a 1-0 lead Friday against LSU starter Anthony Ranaudo in the bottom of the first on an RBI single by first baseman Austin Maddox.
Florida extended the lead to 4-0 in the second on a three-run homer by second baseman Josh Adams, his seventh dinger of the season.
The Gators added three runs in the third against reliever Joey Bourgeois as catcher Mike Zunino ripped a run-scoring single and leftfielder Tyler Thompson lined a two-run triple.
Florida starter Alex Panteliodis limited LSU to no runs on four hits in five innings with no walks and two strikeouts.

Christian music group "MIKESCHAIR" is performing a free show at the Brown County Fair's Grandstand on Thursday, Aug. 7.
Recently married lead singer, Mike Grayson, honed his skills in Nashville and, along with a group of friends, has written songs and developed a unique sound that have garnered them at least 4 Dove nominations and earned Grayson a Gold album. He is known as one of the industry' s most compelling young vocalists and a songwriter of depth and insight.
The band is known for such songs as "Let The Waters Rise", "Can't Take Away", "Loved By You", and, "Someone Worth Dying For".
Says Grayson, "I've always related to songs like "Let the Water's Rise" or "Someone Worth Dying For". I've always wanted to be really honest in my writing and not shy away from the reality of the world and what it means to be here. but the prayer is that there's a glimmer of hope in all of these songs to help people lift their eyes up a little bit from where they are."
Grayson addresses his audience at each concert, speaking of the role that his faith has played in helping and healing from pain, hardships and addictions and offering hope for the future.
MIKESCHAIR is being sponsored by Grace Community Church in New Ulm. There is no charge for the concert which begins at 7 p.m. in the Grandstand of the Brown County Fairgrounds in New Ulm. All seats are on a "first come" basis.
Questions regarding the concert can be answered by calling Pastor Phil Schenck at the Grace Community Church office, 354-0123, or, e-mailing email@example.com or by researching their website, www.gracemn.org

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As the days leading to Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium draw to a close, Staten Islanders will find themselves with a wide selection of events to attend revolving around the big game.
According to the New York/New Jersey Super Bowl Host Committee, several lengthy events are already taking place and will continue beyond Feb. 2, when the game is played.
One of those is the presentation of the original Vince Lombardi Trophy as part of the "City of Silver and Gold from Tiffany to Cartier" exhibit at the Newark Museum.
It's the first time the trophy will return to the place it was created since the Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl I in 1967, says the Committee. The trophy will be on display for a limited amount of time, along with more than 100 pieces from the Museum's decorative arts collection.
The exhibit began Jan. 8 and continues until March 30.
Newark Museum is located at 49 Washington St. and can be reached at 973-596-6550. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday during the week, from noon to 5 p.m.
"Gridiron Glory: The Best of the Pro Football Hall of Fame" combines sports, history and culture into an interactive exhibition at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City.
"We bring the history and vigor of this all-American sports phenomenon to guests of all ages with rare historical artifacts, hands-on fun, and chances to meet NFL alumni," says its event description.
The exhibition features a "Hometown Heroes" section showcasing the New York Giants and Jets.
The exhibit began last September and concludes March 2.
Liberty Science Center is located at 222 Jersey City Blvd. and can be reached at 201-200-1000.
Check www.lsc.org for center hours.
Also in New Jersey, starting Jan. 28 and lasting until March 16, is "Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America."
The exhibit is at the Yogi Berra Museum on the campus of Montclair State University (N.J.) on Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
"Sports are an indelible part of our culture and community. For well over one hundred years sports have reflected the trials and triumphs of the American experience and helped shape our national character," reads the event's description. "Whether it's professional sports, or those played on the collegiate or scholastic level, amateur sports or sports played by kids on the local playground, the plain fact is sports are everywhere in America."
The exhibit's summary says the country's love of sports begins in our hometowns -- on the sandlot, at the ball field, or even in the street.
"Americans play sports everywhere."
For more information, call 973-655-2378.
On Jan. 22, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., the Mahwah (N.J.) Regional Chamber of Commerce will host the Super Community Spirit Showcase, an event geared to highlight dozens of nonprofit organizations and the work they do.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and there are still slots available for nonprofit groups, according to organizers.
About 1,000 people are expected to attend, and folks are encouraged to vote on the best nonprofit at the event. The winner takes home all of the proceeds.
The Super Bowl will have a say in Jersey City Fashion Week, too.
From Jan. 23 to 25, "Football Fashion Week" will highlight style and sports together. The event is taking place at Pole Position Raceway, Jersey City.
Folks are invited to support emerging designers, eat, race, shop, socialize, give back to the community and have fun at this upscale fashion event to celebrate Super Bowl XLVIII, says the summary.
Casual, swim, resort and sportswear for men and women will be available. Professional athletes will walk the runway and exhibit their developing fashion lines as well.
Proceeds will go to DLJ Give to Live Community Foundation: a project of United Charitable Programs, Jersey City Recreation Foundation, Grid Iron Group, Secaucus Emergency Fund and the Snowflake Youth Foundation.
Information on ticket purchases and more can be found at www.jerseycityfashionweek.com.
The "Join the Huddle" tour, a four-truck caravan weaving its way through 48 sites -- 24 in New York and 24 in New Jersey -- will make a stop at the P.C. Richard & Son Superstore, Jersey City, for an 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. event on Jan. 15.
The tour then moves to Harlem on Jan. 20, to celebrate Martin Luther King Day before parking on "Super Bowl Boulevard" -- Broadway, between 34th and 47th streets -- which takes place Jan. 29 through Feb. 1, from noon to 10 p.m.

Natizo Launches Free Video Demonstrating How To Use The Natizo Julienne Peeler
Natizo, the premium kitchenware company, is launching a free video demonstrating the best way to use the Natizo julienne peeler to peel and julienne vegetables.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 19, 2014 ) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- Julienne peelers are becoming increasingly popular to prepare julienne vegetables and zucchini noodles, with searches on Google for this utensil increasing tenfold in the last two years. When used properly a julienne peeler can be fast, safe and efficient but anyone who tries to use one without following instructions risks injuring themselves with the sharp blades.

How to use the Natizo julienne peeler
"Before we launched our julienne peeler we realized there was very little accurate information about how to use this kitchen utensil." said David Hall, owner of Natizo. "Julienne peelers are a great addition to any kitchen to quickly peel and julienne almost any vegetable or fruit but to work effectively they have extremely sharp blades and it is essential that they are used safely and correctly."
To help anyone who has struggled to work out how to use a julienne peeler properly, Natizo is releasing a new video that shows how to use this relatively new kitchen utensil. The video shows the recommended way to use the julienne blade and standard peeler blade on the Natizo Julienne Peeler with step by step instructions and demonstrations. It lasts for just under two and half minutes and also includes advice for cleaning and safely storing the peeler.
"One of our top priorities is to share our knowledge and experience about using kitchen utensils so that we can help more people work better in their kitchen. With this in mind we are launching this step by step How To video demonstrating how to use the Natizo Julienne Peeler." added David Hall. "Many of our customers have already watched the video and have given us very positive feedback."
The video, called How to Use the Natizo Julienne Peeler is available now on the Natizo Kitchen YouTube channel and the Natizo website. The Natizo julienne peeler which is demonstrated in the video is available exclusively on Amazon.com, enabling customers to take advantage of Amazon's superb delivery and customer service.

I briefly considered performing mundane tasks today, such as housecleaning (hate it), but the weather is too beautiful to contemplate such tiresome ventures. It's Sunday, sunny and not overbearingly hot, so I've decided to head up to Raven Cliff Falls in the Chattahoochee National Forest for a little light hiking with my husband instead.
This adventure serves a two-fold purpose: I'll be working to unravel the "Fat Girl Conspiracy" and I'll satisfy the craving for photographic intervention. The last few weeks have been all about acclimating to Ivy's school routine, so there hasn't been time for adventures. I haven't touched my camera much in three weeks, so today is the day.
After all, the unbearable mounds of laundry appeal to me far less than the breathtaking views I'm sure to find hiking at Raven Cliff Falls, and the bathtub ring can certainly wait That's what showers are for…right?Me and my friend, Jenn, 2004 at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I'm on the left.
Enjoy a throwback from my trip to San Francisco in 2004 during the pre-baby era of my life. I still love a great adventure, but now I tailor them to be more family-friendly. Unless I enjoy the rare opportunity to travel with only my husband or friends, my daughter is very much included. I'd love for my blog to be a point of reference for travels in Georgia and other destinations that provide a benefit and service to married couples with kids and singles alike. My future vision–to become deeply entrenched in the travel arena–drives my present evolution, and I'm constantly exploring different angles to pursue.
During the next year, I'll be sharing more of my travels, but I plan to include events and travel news that provide a more intimate glimpse of the mystery and appeal of my beloved state.
I'd hate for you to miss out on that, so I recommend subscribing to this blog via email or through the available RSS options. I'd be most appreciative and inspired to work even harder to bring you great photos and content. It only takes a moment. Oh, and if you have great travels to share, leave a comment on this post, and I'll respond accordingly.

PARSIPPANY — All lanes were open on Route 80 West Thursday morning following a collapsed manhole on the express side, according to the state Department of Transportation.
The DOT reported at 7:38 a.m. that a manhole had collapsed on the express side near Exit 45 for Route 637/Beverwyck Road, closing the right lane. State Police at Totowa barracks said the incident occurred near mile-marker 44.6, and that there was no timetable for the completion of repairs.
The DOT reported 10- to 15-minute delays through the corridor as of 7:53 a.m.
Wednesday, a sewer collapse on Route 287 South near Exit 39 for Route 10 blocked two lanes for more than five hours, causing major southbound delays.
Earlier this year, the state Department of Transportation told NJ.com a rash of sewer grate collapses and missing manhole covers on Route 287 in October and December were the result of road work, a shifting median barrier and heavy traffic loads.
After the median was shifted as part of road work last year, sewer grates were damaged when they were exposed to lanes of travel and heavy traffic loads, according to the DOT.
Those grates, however, were later reinforced with steel plates to prevent further collapses, according to the DOT.

Hi folks!
Recently the staff here at Better Off Red agreed that in order to take the Reds Cap Club to the next level was to appoint a club president. The staff poured over a long list of candidates and spent hours upon hours paring that list down to a final few.
Eventually Bill "Seg" Dennison, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the baby from the E-Trade commercials and 5-time Grammy Award-winner Donna Summer emerged from a list of 45,000 potential presidential candidates. Of those 4, just 1 fit the criteria* to become the "George Washington" of the Reds Cap Club. (* = own a Reds cap).
Ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, please allow me to introduce to you the first-ever President of the Reds Cap Club….Bill "Seg-Man" Dennison!!!
I spoke to Seg earlier today via email and here's what he had to say:
"It's truly an honor to serve as your President. I will lead Reds Cap Nation to the best of my abilities and keep it the GREATEST in the World!"
Congrats, Seg. Your term starts now.
And now that we have a new Reds Cap Club president, it's only fitting that we welcome some of the club's newest members.
Here's Anthony and Lauren Balsly from Mason, OH wearing their Bronson Arroyo caps:
You might notice that bandage on Lauren's knee. No worries, she's ok. She recently got scraped up a little bit in Tokyo while successfully defending her Mixed Martial Arts "Under 4 years or 25 pounds" world title.
Our other newest member to the club is recording artist, Lil Wayne of New Orleans, LA. Welcome to the club, Lil!
Mike Leake yesterday wrapped up a very successful Arizona Fall League season.
Cincinnati's 2009 first-round pick finished the AFL season with a 1-2 record in 6 games (5 starts). He allowed just 3 earned runs (9r) in 19.2 innings with 3 walks and 15 strikeouts.
Attached at the top of this entry is the final stats for the Peoria Saguaros, the AFL team that also included Reds prospects 1B Yonder Alonso, SS Zack Cozart, OF Chris Heisey, RHP Brad Boxberger, RHP Logan Ondrusek and RHP Sean Watson.
In case you didn't see, Baseball America yesterday released the Reds Top 10 Prospects:
1. Todd Frazier
2. Yonder Alonso
3. Mike Leake
4. Chris Heisey
5. Juan Francisco
6. Yorman Rodriguez
7. Travis Wood

Video: amazing rotary-engined RC cars
They may only have 1bhp, but that's all these angry little cars need...
Our latest road tests of this car...
Rolls fits crucial new tech to the Phantom. Still the last word in wafting
"We need to resurrect the 'Best Car in the World' label and glue it to this car…"
The best luxury car in the entire world. It's as simple as that
The pinnacle of luxury motoring. From its slightly gauche Bentley wilderness years to revived brand powerhouse and credibility under BMW's ownership, Rolls-Royce has produced a stunning luxury car. The Phantom mixes modernity and tradition beautifully, particularly following a facelift last year – these cars lose the controversial round fog lamps at the front with a more retro-Rolls rectangular-shaped full LED lights setup taking their place.
Drive or be driven? You'll enjoy both in the Phantom. It looks and feels weighty, but the V12 does a very convincing job hauling all that sumptuousness around. The spookily quiet 6.75-litre turbocharged 12-cylinder gives the Phantom scary pace, that's now all the more smooth and genteel courtesy of a new eight-speed automatic transmission. You'll want the extended wheelbase one though, not for the additional length it brings, but merely because it says you can afford the additional metal. Both ride with truly remarkable composure, the suspension and huge wheels (with always level rich-man's spinners RR wheel badges) helping smother the pock-marked tarmac. The ride quality is, frankly, amazing. And while the steering is light and accurate, the wheel's thin rim feels delightfully old school.
The obvious extremities help position the Phantom in traffic, but if that's a real worry pay someone to shoulder the burden. Hushed refinement and comfort beyond comparison, you could live in it it's so vast – if you default on your Mayfair mansion house you've always got options.
Regardless of whether you choose to sit in the front or the back, you're surrounded by impeccable craftsmanship and ensconced in sumptuous luxury. The seats are like gigantic Lay-Z-Boys covered in the finest, softest leather imaginable, while the wood and chrome's lustre is so deep and weighty you can't help yourself from reaching out to touch it. It's very special in there, feeling every bit as expensive as it is. Don't drop anything on the carpets if you ever want to see it again, the wool is so deep and thick it's like luxury quicksand. Rolls- Royce has updated the sat nav to make it more modern as well as amazingly decadent.
Every Phantom saloon now costs at least £300,000 and you'll easily get it far higher with a few choice options. It's expensive, and that's all that matters. You're more likely to worry about the cost of running your helicopter than your Rolls. At least the latest model is more fuel efficient, though owners will see the advantage in driving range than actually saving money.

Glory Days: A few innings with Randy Myers
Below are a few innings from the full nine with former left-handed reliever Randy Myers (a Cub from 1993-95), featured in the upcoming issue of Vine Line. Every month, Vine Line catches up with alumni and remembers old moments in Glory Days, an exclusive section covering the history of the Cubs. Subscribe today for more great content to take you through the offseason. (Interview by Jim McArdle; Photo by Stephen Green)
When his playing days were over, Randy Myers returned to his native Northwest. The former "Nasty Boy" of the 1990 world-champion Reds now volunteers his time to protect wildlife and the environment. As a Cub, Myers is best known for his record-setting 53-save season in 1993 and for fighting off a mound-charging fan in 1995.
HOME SWEET HOME I live near Vancouver, Wash. I was born and raised here. People don't realize you give up 20 years of your life to travel around when you play. When I was done I moved back.
'93 SUPER SAVER I believe it's still the major league record for a left-hander. We had a good bullpen. We had Bob Scanlan and Dan Plesac as the setup guys. Basically, we were playing six-inning games with our starters.
TODDLIN' TOWN I used to ride my bike around Chicago and stop by Murphy's Bleachers after games now and then to have a burger. Whether they would go to Bernie's or Slugger's or Murphy's, guys used to go out with their families and have a bite to eat, and no one bothered them. Basically, you just worked in the area.

Ok, I almost never buy something in a can, box or other. I primarily only buy fresh, organic, free-range, grass-fed type meats, fruits and veggies.
But today I was looking at a container of Lard and saw something I was unfamiliar with. There are 3-4 ingredients.
Pork Fat
Monoglyceride Citrate
And I have no idea what BHA, BHT or monoglyceride citrate is. Can someone help me out here? Is this still Paleo? Should I stay clear of this?

ObamaCare and Your Pocketbook
Omar Ezz, CFP
For the millions of people who have individual health insurance, the impending implementation in 2014 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), popularly known as ObamaCare, is of great concern. The focal points of this landmark legislation is the mandate which requires every American to have health insurance and prohibits health insurance providers from denying coverage to anyone regardless of their current medical condition. The effects of these aspects of the new law on insurance premiums are not uniform. They will vary from state to state and person to person.
Where Obamacare hurts
In states such as Indiana, Ohio, and Florida, which are lightly regulated and do not require coverage to all who apply, people may see their individual health insurance premiums increase. This is due to the fact that individuals who could not previously get insurance for various health reasons will finally be granted coverage, increasing the expense to insurers and hiking premiums. By comparing a trade association's report of premiums for all plans available today with the average premium expected on the health insurance exchange being set up to comply with the PPACA, the state of Ohio reports that there will be an average increase in premiums of 41%.
Where it helps
In states like New York and California, policy holders may actually see their premiums decrease since these already require insurers provide comprehensive coverage to all who apply. In other words, the individuals who could not attain coverage in the aforementioned states are already in the insurance risk pool, so no new risk would have to be priced into insurance premiums. Also, ObamaCare's individual mandate would expand the risk pool to many younger, healthier state residents who didn't bother to get insurance in the past, resulting in lower premiums for those already insured.
Taking age and gender into account
The effect on individual premiums will also depend on age and gender. A female in her 60's may see her premiums decrease for an exchange-based plan, while a male in his 20's may see his premiums increase. This is because the new law requires that women pay the same as men and older participants cannot be charged more than three times what the young pay.
On a bright note, for those who may end up paying higher premiums, the PPACA limits the amount people have to pay out-of-pocket for deductibles and co-pays to $6,350 and advocates have made the argument that it will provide more comprehensive coverage for American citizens. However, the long-term ramifications will not be fully understood until years after the law goes into effect. So, stay tuned.

When a player retires, we usually look back at the honours he won over the course of his or her career. For a referee, there are no such titles, cups or medals, so it is often harder to leave a mark on a competition's history. Not so Anders Frisk, who certainly left his stamp on the world of refereeing before opting for early retirement in March 2005 after 18 years at the top. His was an exemplary career well worthy of the recognition bestowed by the FIFA Presidential Award.
Whether from Swedish league matches or from the world's most prestigious encounters, football lovers will long remember the blond hair and tanned complexion of this man in black. Unfortunately, the regrettable circumstances which prompted one of the refereeing profession's finest representatives to call time on his career will also be hard to forget.
On 12 March this year, the Scandinavian official created a sensation by announcing his decision to quit, a choice to a large extent dictated by unfortunate events. Following a UEFA Champions League match between FC Barcelona and Chelsea, the Chelsea coach José Mourinho had criticised the referee and accused Frank Rijkaard, the Spanish side's coach, of having influenced Frisk during the interval.
"The game's just not worth this"
The Portuguese coach's unfortunate outburst triggered the wrath of certain fanatical English "supporters", with the result that Anders Frisk was subjected to death threats for several weeks. That proved too much for the Swede. "I've had enough. It's gone too far," he revealed to the Swedish media. "The last few days have been the worst in my career as a referee. The game's just not worth this. The safety of my family is paramount."
In fact, this regrettable event was not an isolated occurrence. On 14 September 2004, during a Champions League clash between AS Roma and Dynamo Kiev, the international referee had been forced to interrupt the match after being struck on the head by a missile. Few who saw it could forget the striking image of Frisk departing the pitch, his blond hair caked in blood.
These two incidents hastened the end of an exemplary 18-year career that took in the cream of world football's competitions and which would have reached its climax with the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. Now aged 42, Anders Frisk would have been able to continue refereeing for three more years.
Having become a FIFA international referee at the age of 28, Frisk's first international match was Iceland against Turkey in July 1991, while his debut at a global competition came at the FIFA U-17 World Championship Japan 1993. Among the 118 international games over which he presided throughout his career, his finest hour was undoubtedly the Euro 2000 final between France and Italy (2-1 a.e.t.). He also took charge of qualifying games for every major competition from the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 onwards.
Respect and support
This native of Gothenburg was originally due to make his FIFA World Cup debut at France 1998, but was forced to pull out at the last minute due to injury. Consequently, it was at Korean/Japan 2002 that he oversaw his first matches at the very highest level (Brazil-China 4-0 and Spain-Republic of Ireland 1-1).
Despite having been included on the preliminary shortlist of referees for the 2006 tournament in Germany, Anders Frisk opted to turn his back on the refereeing profession. Supported in his choice by both FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and his UEFA counterpart Lennart Johansson, Frisk will at least have the satisfaction of having brought the issue of respect for "the man in the middle" firmly into the public consciousness.
His stance is vociferously backed by Joseph S. Blatter: "I demand that all those concerned show respect for referees and for fair play. Over and above what is at stake, football is first and foremost a game. Yes, it is a game that provokes great passion and I wouldn't want to change that. But it is still a game above all."

After a day at Snowmass, I wavered on whether to ski Aspen Highlands, since I would have preferred a clear day with visibility, and the top of the mountain was in the clouds.
I wanted some good photos, and skiing a large, unfamiliar alpine bowl in pea soup fog is not ideal. But skies were partly clear early that morning, so I went for it, thinking the weather might clear up later. It didn't.
I took two lifts right up to the top to where the hiking to the bowl begins. I was definitely nervous about what lay ahead, and whether I'd be able to handle it. The bowl is on the left side of the ridge:
The sign at the gate didn't help my confidence level:
I guess I'm an expert now, I thought (I'm not really).
But I had studied the terrain beforehand (photos and Google Earth) and it appeared the slopes were no steeper than other things I had skied.
After getting off the lift, there was an easy skate downhill through some trees, and people waiting in line at a rope. Patrol said it was the line for the Snowcat. I was looking for exercise, so I passed, and instead put the skins on my skis and started up. There were two others skinning up, and the rest were hiking, carrying their skis or board.
The ascent took 45 minutes, including a stop to remove skins and another to adjust gear. Not sure it's worth skinning the cat track, I would probably just hike it next time, because it's not very long.
Not much of a view at the tiny summit due to being in the clouds, but a bit of a siesta going on up there, with multiple languages being spoken (Catalan? Know Kilian?) The G-zones -- a treed ridge down past the summit -- were closed, so I had my choice of a couple of white edges over nothing to drop down into.
I descended at the Ozone sign but cut left into White Kitchen to avoid rock ledges directly below the summit. The pitch (max of 43 degrees according to the trail map) was a little freaky, as firm powder gave way from its base of re-frozen snow. The sliding took some applied force, but was still unnerving when there were also dark patches from dynamite charges above and around me. Enough so that I kept waiting for a guy on a board to clear from below me before I moved. I skied the upper part in single jump-turns, then relaxed farther down. This is maybe 100 yards below the steepest part:
I crossed over the little ridge with trees on it to B-One. An overlay of my GPS track on a photo from Aspen Mountain the next day:
Below the bowl, the runout was a series of stepped drops on easy black diamond bumps with level sections. The entire run was good for about 2,600 feet of descent by my calculation.
Afterwards I skied St. Moritz and some other stuff, but frankly my quads were shot, and I never did another lap of the bowl.
A local suggested elevation as the factor (when he found I lived west of Denver), but I live at 5,800 feet and run hills all week. The hike was not the problem, it was my brake-heavy style on the steeps. I'm really just starting to plant my feet and engage steep fall lines, and still spend some time in the back seat. This is extremely tiring for the quads. But I'm starting to get it.
On the way down I skied Lower Stein, which was a steep "shrub run" with weeds sticking out of the snow, which looked like it was going to end up in a gully below some houses, requiring a hike out.
At the last minute there was an uphill cat track that was the runout. I had to walk uphill just a little, then I was out.
I was tired after day two, and hit the road after stretching my legs in town. A cloud-shrouded Mount Sopris catching some last rays at the end of the day:
Distance was 16.22 miles, time 4:21 (moving 2:34), elevation gain/loss 9,430 feet, avg. speed 3.7 mph, and max speed 28.0 mph. Max elevation 12,352 feet.
I didn't feel like doing anything other than relaxing and doing some photo work and writing, so I was grateful for the Whole Foods in the valley, and their prepared foods. It didn't really save me money, but it was good and it saved time.
And I continued to be impressed by the terrain in Aspen. A lap at Highland Bowl may not be much for an experienced Aspen local, but it was for me. This mountain kicked my @#$%. But I did it, and I'm proud of it.
